Romance and Crime.—bore and Arsen ic.—A elute of alleged poisoning of a young Frenchman by a young English woman is just now occupying the atten tion, more or less, of all England. The trial is now in progress before the High Court Judiciary of Edinburg. The case is an extraordinary one; and the main facts are thus summed up : Miss Madeline Smith stands eltarged with "the murder of M. L'Angellier, whom she had encouraged in a secret attachment. Herparents occupy a good position at. Glasgow, and the young man, who was a clerk with in sufficient means, would not hare been accepted by them. Tho girl, however, met him clandestinely, and correspond ed with him, and professed her affection in the most unqualified and extravagant terms. It now appears that after some of their latest meetings the young man was frequently attacked with agonizing symptoms, which at last resulted in Meath. Among lkis - effects were found the letters of Miss Smith, ,one of which had urged him to a private' meeting a few hours previous. An examination of the body developed abundant traces of arsenic. MISS Smith is proved to have purchas ed arsenic, and openly admits the fact, as she used it for her emr.plexion. -She bought in cotypany with friends and unhesitatingl e y:aitixed her name in the register of the chemists, who were told by her that it was to poison rats. Af ter her intimacy and correspondence with the young Frenchman her family arranged a match for her with a person in a much better position. She accept od this new, offer, but the Frenchman was of an impulsive and dangerous dis pos,ition and would be likely to expose her when the affair became kimwn to him. This, indeed, lee silt imately threat ened. Miss Smith vainly implornd him to return her letters. She thou renew ed her expressions of affection awl in vited him to meet bier. The allegation is that this• was a snare to enable her to destroy him. She is charged with administering arsenic in chocolate or coffee.

Fire at Fayetterille.--:At an early hour on Wednesday morning' last, the Dry Goods Store of , Mr. Thaddeus Boggs, at Fayetteville, in Franklin county, was diseoveml on fire. A young man who slept in the room above the store was awaked by the smoke which had penetrated into his room, and finding the building on fire made his (-seals., and gave the alarm. On the neighbors repairing to the se?ne of con flagration they found it necessary, in order to get at the fire, to force an en trance through the front door. The whole interior of the store room was discovered on fire, but the flames appar ently smothered by the density of the smoke. By the judicious efforts of the pennons first assembled the fire was soon extinguished, and on tun examination of the premises being, instituted, the back door leading into flue store was tonal ajar. This einumstanee, togeth er m itlm the Met of some goods being missing, has created 3 belief that the store was first robbed and then set on fire to destroy all traces of robbery.
