These are important figures in the framing of a bill for the in'otection of the lives of the miners in our collieries.--Yetterille Miner's Journal: tit im a .0 ;4 2 A d : 1 .2% Z t 2 1 ' The Chester Republican reportS the follow ing :—An aggravated ease of bigamy recently occurred in this city, in which two brothers —Daniel and Edward Agnew-s-both married men, with families, living in Philadlphia, married two girls—Rosanna and . I ritiget Dougherty—daughters of James and arneY Dougherty, aged eighteen, residing in - orth Ward. The Agnews were in the eru Ph • of a. picture and looking-glass dealer in h ladel 'phia, and brought their wares to this' Mty for ~. sale, returning to their homes at night. in their peregrinations in that locality they became acquainted with the ' Dough erty girls, to whom they repreSented themSetm;., as _ single and finally visited the girls often, and finally _.obtained permission of their parents to take them out carriage-riding. Affairs continued in this way for some time ; when the rascals professed love to - the girls, and married them/ atiout Christmas. The Marriage was kept a secret, and about the middle of last month he girls left their homes one evening, and have not open beard of since. Their disappearance led the parents to investigate the matter, in they . found the wives of the Agnews n Phila delphia--ono with two children; the 'youngest a little over a year old, in destitute circuit"- stances ' and the other with one child-both supposing. their husbands were in this place selling pictures. Nothing has been heard of the Agnews or their second wives since they left here. The New York 17entIcl save: We publish to-day au article from the/Phil adelphia Morning Post upon the subject/of the formation of a new press association: The ideas expressed are sound. The old Associated Press organization, as it now stands, is hardly up to the progress of the age as evinced in modern journalism. The ideas of a quarter of a century ago cannot be applied at this day to enterprises that have made such- wonderful strides in advance as are to be observed in the mode of managing and conducting newspapers. We anticipate much good from the new press association, even if it does nothing more than to incite the old association to renewed efforts in carrying out the objects for which it was originally instituted. Competition is the life of trade in the neWspaper as well as in all other kinds of business, and when the PresS Association shall discard some of its exchtsive features, practice more economy and infuse a little fresher energy into its operations, the better will it be for newspaper proprietors and the public generally. We hope the new aSSO elation will be allowed a fair trial ; for in the success of the experiment the people at large have a special interest. • VAN - . —A Missouri river captain has gone into the ice business.

On the ono side we have been awaiting the execution` of the most daring and wholesale murderer of modern times; and on the other, the trial for homipide at least, if not for assaSsinaticm ? of a Prince; and.. cousin of the Emperor.• - Such things seem to infect the morality of the very ' air we breathe, and to impregnate, as it were, the atmosphere itself with crimp. One of these thrilling; but unwhOlesome ensode.s' arising out of the dark side of the web of human na ture has just been consummated. Troppmann died the slay before. yesterday;-died as he had lived, furiously, like a wild beast, dream ing of blood and :destruction to the very last, I and meditating new murders to emancipate himself from the laws of death, just as he had bef?re committed murders to escape from poverty and give himself the means of in dulging his vicious propensities. And he ex hibite.d in his latest machinations the same stupid unintelligence which marked hiswhole previous career of crime. Fancy a man in his position writing to the apothecary of the prison, the very day before his execution, offering him a bribe to supply him with chloroform and prussic acid ! Such a bribe, too—a thousand ,francs !--as though, even as regards the amount, he could. expect to purchase such an act for such a sum. A.nd then, the very same day, with stupid confi dence, and a cold-blooded Indifference to taking yet more human lives , which makes one shudder, he writes to tell his brother that he has found the means to evade the disgrace of a public execution ; and that, not by killing himself, as one would expect to hear, but by destroying his two watchers, and then escaping. disguised in the clothes of one of them. There is a bloodthirsty insolence about such a plan which makes one's flesh creep with indignation at the bare possibility of its success. I shall not dwell upon the de tails of the last hours of such a monster. Those present tell us that he looked the mur derous hypocrite that he was to the last, and persisted in his obstinate denial of being the chief and only perpetrator of the dreadful deeds for which he was summoned to die. There is something highly-characteristic in his manner of thus "-persisting." He did it as though he felt a sort of diabolical relief and satisfaetion in being able in some degree to wound and give pain to his fellow creatures up to his very latest utterance. He seemed to know that an avowal is always satisfactory to those who have been , engaged in the ar rest and execution of a criminal condemned to death, and this satisfaction he had a plea sure in refusing. " Say I persist in my de lie said to the priest, at the bottom of the fatal ladder which led to the scaffold. And then again, as he surmounted the last step, he turned round and shouted almost de monically : " Tell them I persist!" And_ all this was' - done, not with - an air - as though he wished to carry conviction, but only te provoke and annoy and give pain. The finale seems to have been a elisicking scene. Either from the savage instincts of his nature ; or more probably because he thought to Check the death agony by lashing himself into fury —he gave way to, a paroxysm of rage at' the last moment. a hen already bound upon the fatal plank. He struggled fiercely with all the terrible strength which he had so fearfully shown himself to possess ; continuing to draw up his knees, though strapPed down upon the board, and then dashed both head and shoulders through the orifice where hi.s neck was to be pinned down. •He had to •be thrust back by mutt force ; and in the struggle, by a . sudden bend - Of - hiss-head he contrived, to seize and bite severely with his teeth the thumb of the executioner. H orrible, horrible, most horrible! is all that can be said of such a life and such an end; and perhaps when the scene enacting on the scatlold is, combined with that which we are told was going on among the filthy and ribald rout around, it would scarcely be possible for imagination to conceive a picture in whiell buruau nature could be displayed in darker colors. The only relief to its sombre tints' and the melancholy reflections it inspires is in the thought that crime there met its reward, and that justice reigned supreme and inexorable. The preliminary examinations in the other melancholy case above alluded to—the homi cide at Auteuil—are proceeding slowly and laboriously, every effort Ming made to solve what will only too probably remain a mystery to the end, viz.: from which of the two par. ties the provocation, if there were such, arose, which produced the rash and fatal act. The most trilling facts are minutely inquired into, with a view to elicit or render probable who struck the first blow; as, for instance, whether the victim had his hat on when shot, at what distance the bail struck him, &c. But I fear no. human iugenuity will ever establish the precise truth of the ease; and the most chari table conjecture, perhaps, after all, is that the twi) survivors do not quite know it theniselv6 . Besides these darker edit ses edebrm, we have i now.also in prospect the trial of Rochefort, who is summoned before the Correctional l'o- lice Cpurt to-Morrow. But it is probable that the hearing of the ease will be adjourned. Scenes of a brighter description meet our eye on the other side of the Seine, among the 'Ministerial Hotels of the Faubouig St. Ger main. There we see the salons of the new .ministers crowded with a brilliant assethblage of functionaries ) all anxious to pay homage to ;power and success. The first reception of M. 011iviei• was quite ." an ovation, so ,unusually large wag the . attendance. At the most crowded moment entrance into the 'salons was barely possible, so thick was the jostlo Of foreign , ambassadors, dignitaries, depiFl es ; s,onators, academicians and men of !ail ranks and creations, not to mention a host of ladies. The task of receiving all her guasta CMLIMOLIK'MMMY. with : duo attention and dourtesy must have •been A severe one for Madame 011ivier, ,a young atld very , pretty woman, only some twenty years of age, who has been married scarcely three' months, and is thus brought out at Ghee from , a condition " of private life' ' .into all this • blaze of celebrity and officialify. But by universal AFfiClll; she acquitted herself most clifirmingly and successfully of her new duties. She was most chastely attired Ina plain black velvet dress, *ern high, with a long train, which set off admirably her delicate blonde complexion and fair hair, bound with only a single blue satin,ribbon. She held in her hand a black and gold fan, without a bouquet 1 and mani fested a , graceful consciousness, without the least awkwardness, of the, novelty of her po sition, which all present allowed to be far more attractive than the hardened aplomb of certain domes du • grand mondo. • .1)1. 011ivier himself was perhaps almost the only man in his own salons who was "distinguished" by the . absence of any decoration. For not' even the bit of red ribbon which dubs a man chew liar was to be seen in his buttonhole. He is probably the very first of his countrymen who has ever reached the rank of first Minis ter of the crown without having been the re cipient of a single order, native or foreign. The fashionable season is being fully inaugu rated, and balls are announced at the Tuileries and the Hotel de Ville. Great numbers of Americans have arrived in Paris from the - South and from Home, and form, as usuai,one of the most conspicuous elements of our-win ter society. 111. Ilechefort's Case.--Proceedings Before . the 'Criminal Tribunal—Charges and Sentence. b rein Galignaure Megoonger. of Paris, January 25 Eveming,jl The Allah. of 31..Rochefort came on Satur day before the "Correctional Tribunal, fiar an article signed by him in the-Maraddaise on the 12th inst., and in which ho. was accused of of fence against the person of the Emperor and of provocation to civil war. • . A charge was also made against .11. - Deremre, gOant, and 31. Grousset, writer on the same journal, for publishing on the said 12th Janu ary an article insulting to the Emperor and inciting to various crimes: • Although an announcement had been made that the principal accused would not appear, a considerable crowd collected in the hope of obtaining admission into the court. Unusual measures had been taken - to pre.serie order ; and the utmost tranquillity prevailed through out. Aulois, l'Avoeat Imperial, maintained With greattnederation the charge against the persons incriminated, and the Court con; demned 31. Rochefort to six mouths' impris onment and 3,0001. rine (but without any de- privation of civil rights, no allusion being made to that possible penalty); M. Grousset to a like term of confinement and to'pay 2,000 francs, and M.Dereure to six months, and to two tines of SCOI, each. No manifestation took place beyond that of a few young men crying out in the street, out side, " Vive Rochefort!" ' What the People Said of the Sentence. Ualignani's Messenger, of Paris, of the 25th of January, commenting on the sentence passed on 31. Rochefort, says : The extremely light sentence passed on M. Rochefort for his insulting language to the Emperor and his ex= citation to insurrection forms almost the only subject of remark to the Paris journals. That the government desired to have indulgence shown cannot be doubted, as M. Aulois, the Advocate Imperial, in his requisitory„ made use of the subjoined Language : "Many persons have recommended that the Most severe penalttea should be pronounced against the accused. But we, who are charged to support the prosecution, demand that a punishment as light as possible shall bo in dicted and that it shall have for its object only to cause the law to be respected by all." 31. Rochefort hiinsell, in the 3lae;:eillaiBe,, expresses great indignation at such leniency, his expressions running thus Why six months and not twenty years? Why 3,000 f. and •not .5,0o011? This is just as if the Ministry were to say to the people assem bled : "You must take our position into con sideration; we cannot withdraw the prosecu tion, as otherwise it would be impossible to extricate ,ourselves from the dilemnia— On the other hand, our courage fails us to brave pone opinion, which is narrowly watching us, so that under these circumstances we think that six months! imprisonment will conciliate all diflieultiefi: We will add 3,000 f. fine not to appear to retreat from the ground we have taken, and, so we will put an end to the matter." Such is the effect which this decision has produced upon me after having calmly and dispassionately weighed it. I was summoned to answer a charge of inciting to revolt, no more heinous otleuce than which can exist in the eyes of the Ministry, especially when the people are so happy anti contented under their rule. However much persuaded any Cabinet may be of its own incapacity, it can but de. clare that all hopes of happiness are to be centred in itself alone, for, were it not to ap pear convinced of that result, it would be guilty of not making room for another one. These Principles. being admitted, either I have nicited to revolt or 'I have not; it' really guilty of this crime—that is to say, it, with the aim of overthrow ing a beloved goverenment, • I have attempted to steep in blood thestreets of Paris, to impede commerce, to di.sturb public feeling, to drive away foreign visitors—l appeal to all Frenchmen, even the most indulgent, and ask them whether it be not a complete farce to pretend to, avenge seciety, outraged and threatened in its very existence, by a sentence of six months' imprisonment? That penalty,:. with the fine of three thotisand franeS, cannot' belconsidered as - meeting the merits of the' case, and from the moment I am declared guilty. I must claim what I consider I am en titled to, and I do: not think I exaggerate in fixing the Punishment at twenty years' hard labor. It - very extraordinary, and even insulting,' that the 0 4 oVernment for which I have always shown So little indhlgence should treat mo with SO much. If proved, how er er,-- that liaVe -not ineitetrto revolt, why has not the sentence removed' he accusation inade against me? What is' the use of six months? Whence does this conviction arise? What canf do with it? But if it be proved, 'on the contrary, that.l. did not provoke to in surrection; why hasnot the judgment set that charge aside?

As a preliminary to that he had to he examined by a Bradford physician,and that gentleman had refused to give a certificate that would be satisfactory to the office. Then Mr. Thornton became depressed,and at times expressed fears ,that the business of the firm was alt going,. away, • and that it would take halt a': Million of money -to • set things right again. This the Coroner and jury were assured was all a delusion; and theremere no private speculations or anything, in the de ceased's private afiiiirs which would have originated his distress of mind. He had gone rqi to London to consult Dr. Gull, and the ad vice he received was that he should be careful as to his diet, and_ he would get well again.
