EXTRAORDINARY MURDER AND ANNIHILATION…
EXTRAORDINARY MURDER AND ANNIHILATION OF THE BODY. The Bordeaux jonrOilh contain the following horrible story At the end of October last a sum of 9001 r. was stolen from tlie house of 11. Mano, an avitue of liaz s tlie thieves bcinf, a pub. lie-house keeper and It is wife,apeisaot,and M. Alico's servant, After the robbery the thieves went to the public-liouse of the married couple, which is situa'ed at some little distance from the town, and partook of breakfast. In that house lived a gill of the town named Annetts. Whilst the parties were at table, they complained bitterly that they had only been aille to steal 90 >fr., though tliey knew that M. Man:> liad lO.OOOfr. in his possession, that sum having been d'-posiled wiih h:m the day before. On this Annette repronelied them for what they had d oe. I am only a louse woman," said she, and yet F would never commit a lobbery." This declaration terrified the thieves, and to prevent the girl from denouncing them, they tesolved to kill her. Meantime the gendarmes ha ving obtained iutcimation of the robbery, commenced a search alter the thieves, and ada, or two after they made a descent in the public-house, which was one of notoriously bad character. One of the four persons was alrcsled on suspicion of being the thief. Not seeing Annette the gendarmes asked what had become of her, and the |'ublic- house keeper reptied that she had been spending somedays with her latnily, and had afterward- leit fur Kngland. Things re- mained in this s'ate unul Easter Monday, when the rumour spread ir. the town iliat Atitilite had been murdered. It ap- peared, on inquiiy, that the too, aged between 13 and 14,01 the pubhc-house keeper, had, whilst playinc in the house Witt, some boys, pointed to a large iron pot, and said, "I shouldn't like lo eat anything cooked in that pot." Why no?" he was asVed. Becaus(- it was i.,i that my father cooke(i Annette On this the. bovs left him, saying, As your father kilied Annette, we uill not play with you and they on the following day u;fused to allow him to join their games. When (lie boy "s strange re- mark was mentioned to the gendarmes, they at once proci eded to aire,t his tailitr a!,d ino,l,er. They then called on him to tell ail he knew. lie said he knew nothin; and denied that lie 11-ed the language ascribed to htm. The gendarmes, to frighten him, placed haudcuff* on him arid threatened 10 convey him to prison. He then made thii statement: "On the evening after the ro!>ber> I heard a piercing cry up stairs, and I went up. I openeii the door of the loom, and sa", the I ed y of Annette lying on the bed will,out movement. I A anted to po in, but the per- sons who were there prevented me and the peasant, one of t b-m, pushed me away; and, after giving me lour sous, said d,)ii't watit you here are four sous; be off with you.' I went away. In the nicht the dead b oy of Anm tte was con- veyer) d'>wn stairs, and her muideieis deliberated as to what should he done with it. One suggested that it should he placed in a hole to be made in the wall, and that tl:e bole should be plastered up j this was objected to, on the gronnd that the fresh- ness ot the mo tar would attract attention, and that besides the corpse wonld cause a strong stench. At lenijth it was resolved to cut the body in pieces, to separate the flesh from the bones, to boil the flesh in a pot, and eive it to the pigs to eat, and to bum the bones to ashes. Tins was done. The bones, to pievent any smell, weie steeped in quicklime before they were burned. The pigs devoured the boiled flesh with voracity, and some of them died alter 'rein excess. My father and mother, tile and ill. N'larto's servant. E)art iii this horrible aftair." The law authorities ate now ir.ikinj? a searching In. vestigation they hive already discovered tiie clothes of the gid. and in the ashEs of the a human tooth. 'J he ashes iiav- been ca-elully collected, and are to be analysed by chemisis. The seosati ui which the affair has created in the f.ea;eabie town of Buzas is immense.
LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY.
LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY. The show of English wheat here to-day being seasonably good, and the attendance of buyers very limited, the dem.itid lor all kinds was in a sluggish state at Monday's decline iu the quotations. For fonvard delivery next to nothing was doing yet growers in general refused to accept lower rates. Upw; rds of 11,0(0 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand this week, chiefly (rom the westward. Really fine qualities were scarce, and held at full currencies, but low and middtingparcels were much neglected. Floating cargoes wcre very dull, the demand for Holland having ceased. Malting barley firm, and qu:te as dear. Grinding and dis- tilling sorts were heavy. We had a dull inquiry for malt, yet the maltsters held most qualities at former rates. Oats steady, at p ices fully equal to those of last week. Beans and peas firm. Indian corn afloat was heavy. Very large supplies of American flour being on offer, the trade was dull, at. barely stationary prices. AEUIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and the Countess of Eglinton, entertained a distinguished party at dinner, at the Viceregal Lodge, Dublin, oil Saturday. Mr. Joseph Silsliee, the American comedian, made his first appearance at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, last night, in the "Yankee Ploughman," and met with a most enthusiastic reception. Valuable rock salt mines have recently been discovered within one mile of the port of Carrickfergus, and the Belfast railway. LAUNCH OF A STSAMER. This morning- a fine new iroee Steamer. 172 !e>t Ion; 2: beam, and il t(et6in hold, was launched from the upper yard ot Messis. Stothert, Slaughter, & Co St. Phillip's. A larCe concourse of persons assembled, ami as 1 lie elegant rraft ulided into the water she was christened h\" Mrs. Whit will,The Queen, and lotnl cheers bursi forth. The Queen 18, we understand, intended for the Cornish trade, in the room of the Bril.iant. She is fi ted with l)tautii'ul engines of Messrs. 8. S & Co's manufacture of 180 horse power, and she will store 370 tons.— Bristol Gazette. Mrs. Bloomer is said to have been killed in Boston, U.S., by her husband, v.ho is insane. Thorn Island, in the centre of Milfurd Haven, is to he fortified at a co-t of £ £ 0'0, and the fort at Puter is to be fitted w tli much heavier guns than those hitherto placed there. The Martellu tower, or fort 011 the Stack Hock, is proceeding this is situated near to the entrance of the Haven, in a very com- manding siuiation. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed the stupendous line-of-baitle ship, the W indaer Castle, the largest man-of war in the world, hniiding in the Royal Dockyara at Pembroke, to be launched eaily in the ensuing summer. She will mount the large numher of 140 guns, and will be fitted with a screw-pro- peller. She is upwards of 3.1:00 tons. It has been suggested by a whaling captain of considerable experience, at Dundee, brother to the ice master of the Erebus that the vessel seen, or supposed to have-been seen, by the mate of the Renovatiou, on the ice near the banks of Newfoundland, might hrive been''white fishing" vessels which had got heset in the ice and driven upon Virgin Rocks, which are not lar from 'he given latitude of 45 dea. 3 min., and where there are soundings of from 5fi to 70 fathoms. Under this supposition it would be desirable that inquiry should he iiiade at the different French ports, whence great numbers of fishermen annually go to the banks of Newfoundland to prosecute the cod fi^hin^. A lighthouse is about to be erected by order of Government in the south Isle of Arran in the Bay of Galway, the height of which is to be 100 feet from the level of ihe rock to the lantern, and another lighthouse of 80 feet in height is to be erected on Brannuk Island. The cost of both is estimated, according to contract, at £ 10,000, and they are to be ready for lighting within two years. In the union of Newcastle, county of Limeriek, the poor house charges and expenditure on paupers generally is near one hundred pounds less than it was during the corresponding period of la, t pear. .Nlr. 'I'uwneley has issued his public address to the electors of the borough of Sligo, and rests his certainty of of success on the support of the Right Rev. Dr. Brown, the Roman Catholic bishop, and of Mr. Abraham Martin, a gentleman of extensive induence in the boraugh. He proclaims himself a Tenant- righter and a Free-trader. It appears to be the general opinion that Sir Thorns Redington will he elected lor the borough of New Ross. Mr. Kirk, of Keedy, an extensive manufacturer, is the fa- vourite at present for the borough of Newry.
