We entreat the reader not to bedeter-\nrod by this introduction from the perusal of\nour story. We know how uninviting thc\ntopic will M\" thought, and how profoundly unintelligible .Mexican politics must appear to\nthe British public. Nevertheless, what we\ntiro now going to relate is well worth rending,\nmul il will be presented in as perspicuous a\nform as such matter will admit. Besides, we\nhave actually a substantial interest in these\naffairs, though it is very hard to realize; and\nwe rccogni'-oa .Mexican Govornmont, though\nwo don't know where it is. Inorganic and\nshadowy as is the constitution ofthis romarlc-\nnhlo Stale, and the strongest power in Europe\nwould certainly never have ventured to ln-\ndulgo itself in such liberties at our expense as\nhave been taken by this phantom Government.\nThe liritish people, we regret to say, have\nlent lhc Mexicans out of their private nurses\nthe sum of \u00C2\u00A310,241,650 on bonds. Of course,\nthe magnitude of the interest was to be inversely as that ofthe security, and therefore\nconsiderable* but about ten years ago thc\n.Mexicans suggested an arrangement, by which\nthe .security was to be greatly improved and\nihe interest proportionately diminished. In\nshort, the bondholders were induced to take\nthree per cent., tbe mere product of Consols,\nmi the condition that punctuality of payment\nshould be absolutely guaranteed by a mortgage mi the Customs. How faithfully this\nstipulation was fulfilled will be understood\nwhen we observe that an arrear of exactly\n14 half-yearly divisions will have accrued in\n.[unitary next upon this eligible stock, and the\nprospect of an instalment is in no wise improved by the little incident to be presently\nnarrated, However, for about threo years or\nso the iii teres, thus modified was actually\nforthcoming, but In 1854 tho remittances altogether ceased, and .Mexican stock became\nwholly unproductive. J.y way of looking\nafter British property, Her .Majesty's sloop\nBasilisk paid a visit, in the year 1857, to the\nports of Vera Cnv/. and Tampico, and the\nsign ofthe Union Jack did undoubtedly produce an effect. The Mexican authorities, indeed, obeyed our requisitions in the matter,\nbut unluckily the affairs of the country had\nthen assumed so extraordinary a complexion\nthat tho concession was of no practical use.\nIl'tlie factions by which .Mexico is distracted are tu he credited with any principles or\npurposes at all, we may, perhaps, say that\nthere is a Constitutional Party and an Ecclesiastical Party. Tho Constitutional party\nprofesses the doctrines of Liberalism, and is\nassumed to adhere to a Republican Charter,\npromulgated at one of the few intervals of\ncomparative order by which the chronic an-\nsirchy ol the country has been relieved. Under this Charter, or some modification of it,\na popular leader named .htaicz claimed to be\nPresident of the State, and lias preserved his\ntitle, though he could not enforce it, for some\nlime past. Thc Ecclesiastical Party professed\nnlso to recognize a Republican Constitution\nas that of the Mexican State, but it appeals\nto an earlier ('barter, and is notoriously inclined to maxims of absolutism in practical\nadministration. Its distinctive principle,\nhowever, and that which has preserved its\nvitality, is this,\u00E2\u0080\u0094that, whereas the Constitutionalists arc for secularizing church property,\nand converting the enormous revenues ofthe\nold Spanish establishment to national uses,\nthe Church Party, as partizans of the hicr-\n''hy, would protect ecclesiastical possessions\nfrom any .such invasion. This principle, ol\ncourse, secures them the support ofthe priests,\nnud probably the sympathies of Spain, and\nto such aids they owe, what has hitherto\nproved the invincible strength of their posi-\nfon. Before ti resolute exertion of popular\nwill they must inevitably have succumbed,\n''Ut against the louse halt-organized party of\n[he Liberals they fairly held their own. Per-\nhtips, on the whole, wo may say that they\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2(-'l't the ascendency, for they bad the military\nils well as tho ecclesiastical authorities with\nthem, and in a country where all political so-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-'ll-'ty has been dissolved the least element of\ncohesion told with decisive effect.\n, ft happened, however that when tho Basil-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0jk showed herself in Mexican wfcters the\nchief sea-ports wcre in tho bands of Juarez\nanc tho Constitutionalists, though the capital\nill\"l the adjacent provinces were still subject\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-11 \"ie Church Party, under tho governance or\npresidency of their loader, General Miramon.\nWow, Miramon, as holding tho capital or as\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2living been in office, beforo Juarez, and never\nlaving been dispossessed, or in virtue of some\nother preferential claim, was thought by all\ntot'Cign States except America to bo tho dc\njacto ruler of Mexico, and it was to bim, and\n\"ot to Juarez, that tho diplomatic body was\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2-''''\u00E2\u0080\u00A2edited. Him, however, tho Basilisk could\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ot reach. The only ruler within rango of\n,,.\u00C2\u00B0n SUIIH was Juarez, and though he was\nj'-yh'd to account, sinco nothing better could\n0 done, tho division of moans rendered a set-\nmont impossible. Juarez, as reigning in\n|10 soaports, had, of courso, tho control of the\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2sloms' duties, and could givo effect to the\n'noi'tgago. But he could only do this on\nlUll.rii, E... , .. - ..\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*..\n'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'lH'r, for as ho alleged with perfect truth,\n\"01'0 was not enough specie in all Vera\nA[v/' to liquidato tho debt due to the bond\nholders. All tho hard money was in Mex\nico, and the utmost that he could do was\nto give bills upon Mexico, which midit be\nconverted into cash. This he did, and thev\nwere converted accordingly; but there still\nremained an obstacle more serious than any\nHow was this cash to bo brought from Alex\nico to Vera Cruz for shipment to England'\nIf sent down under escort, it would undoubtedly be stolen on thc road, and probably bv\ngovernment officers. It might be insured no\ndoubt, but only at so enormous a premi nn as\nto make the bargain ruinous. So, from the\nsheer impossibility of moving it, it was kept\nat Mexico in store, being placed in a strong\nroom used by thc British Minister, sealed\nwith his seal, and protected by his represen\ntative authority.\nNow comes the catastrophe of the tale:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nA few weeks ago the British Minister conceived that affairs wero really going to fast\neven for Mexico. Even at that place a man\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'must draw tho line somewhere,\" and the\npoint of demarkation had been reached. Self-\nrespect compelled him to withdraw and be\nretired to .lalapa, leaving the bondholders'\ndollars still under seal in his strong room, and\nconsigned to the guardianship of the British\nConsul. No sooner was his back turned than\nthe officers of Gvernment marched straight\nto the spot, broke open the strong-room with\nsaws and crowbars, and stole the money.\nNever was a \"loot\" more successful. The\n\"swag\" is said to have been close upon\n81,000,000, all iu hard coin, and was no doubt\nextremely welcome. The preceding seems to\nto have been regarded as rather strong oven\nin Mexico, for all tho diplomatists who remained joined tho British Consul in his protest; but protests were of no kind of use, and\nthe dollars wcre carried off.\nWe hope the reader will now think that our\nintroductory remarks have been justified, that\ntho affairs of Mexico are really approaching\na crisis, and that the narrative of facts have\nbeen not unworthy of perusal. Wc can bear\na good deal in the matter of foreign obligations. Wc have been accustomed to various\n'transactions' and 'operations of State,' which,\nhonestly interpreted, were, perhaps, as downright acts of robbery as that just committed\nat .Mexico. Still tliere is a difference between\nactual stealing and refusing to pay, and though\nwe allow governments to persist in repudiating their debts, we cannot submit to be\nrobbed of property actually in hand. The\nmoney thus stolen would have paid the Mexican bondholders one half-yearly dividend out\nof the 14 that aro due, and now that very\nmoderate instalment has gone the way of tbe\nrest. This outrage passes thc limits of all\nforbearance. In international quarrels weakness is often strength, but no weakness or\nstrength cither, can dictate submission to\nsuch conduct as this. If ample redress a3\nwell as prompt restitution bo not forthwith\nsecured, we shall forfeit all claims to respect\nand consideration on the part of foreign\nStates.\nVALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE\nAT\nPORT PEMBERTCN, ON TIIE IIARRISOX-LILLOO-\nBT ROUT M,\nKnown ns the Half-Way House, Situated between\nAnderson and Lillooet Lakes immediately\non the Road, consisting of a\nRanch of 320 Acres fine Farming Land.\nfT-HERE nre situated on thc property ono large two\nJL story House nnd kitchen, together with u liiirn en\npalile of sloring 75 to 100 tons of liny, nnd accoiumoda-\nlions for 7.\"i Animals ; also, Warehouse for storing goods\nThe grass is blue-top nnd makes the best liny in the\nmarket.

Let us exert ourselves, no only to\ndiminish as much as possible the di wbacks\nand impediments which have hithert crossed\nits path, but to hold out every induce! cut and\nencouragement, tor its more pcrmanoi tstay in\nthe country. Wc have from the rst gold\n\"rush \" to British Columbia, been he creatures of hope and uncertainty. I'.v ry summer was to be the making or marr'uc; of the\ncountry; and owners of town projerty antl\nmerchants yielding an extended ere it to the\ninterior trader, became on the arriva\nboat, as excited as tlie most nervous\nat routje et noir. At one time the fittc of thc\ncountry trembled in the balance of t|o intelligence from Quesnelle, then from Kack Creek\nand tho Shimilkomeen, and again themore distant Cariboo. On each and all ofthe so occasions, the fluctuation and unhealtlly excitement were owing solely to our want qf reliable\nknowledge of the mineral resources pf British\nColumbia. The last news from tlifi Cariboo\nj\nhas, however, been so confirmatory in its\nflattering aspect, that public confidence is at\npresent based on a comparatively firm foundation. Still we can imagine the rclipso again\ninto commercial chaos which evil tidings from\nthis portion ofthe gold mines would produce.\nNothing can bc more detrimental to our\nprosperity than this utter dependence on some\nparticular mining locality, and nothing more\neffectual in keeping away a mining population. Unless Government does something\nthe coming season, to induce more extensive\nexplorations in the interior, avc despair of\nany great progress being made in opening up\nour mineral resources. AVo have over and\nover again advocated the propriety of awarding premiums to miners who might discover\npayable gold fields. We have shown tho unbounded success which attended similar\nschemes in other mineral countries; but we\nare sorry to say the Government has, with\none exception, evinced but littlo disposition\nto carr}* out such suggestions. It is true His\nExcellency did organize a company of miners\nat Hope to explore tho Shimilkomeen the early\npart of last summer, and it is equally true\nthat the result wag the discovery of payable\ngold mines; but so far as gold is concerned,\nthe stimulus for exploration hero ceased. Now\nit is well known, and by no one better than\nGovernor Douglas, that the difficulties in the\nway ofthe individual explorer in British Columbia, tire almost sufficient to deter even the\nmost adventurous private enterprise from\ngoing in quest of new gold-fields.

It was usual to bring forward a charge like this\nwithout delay, as malice might be imputed to thc Court.\nNo contempt of court could be charged against him\nin this instance as the Attorney General had resigned\nhis post for British Columbia and had not yet received\nhis appointment for this Island, lu thc courts iu England counsel were not allowed to badger witnesses.\nThere was no occasion for the question put to him bv\nthe Attorney General, whether he was a pawnbroker\nin San Francisco? It was a gratuitous insult. No\none in court at the time could have entertained any\nother opinion. He would call Mr. Gordon the Foreman of thc Jury to state to the court their opinion of\nthe questions.\nThe Chief Justice said ho could nol permit any witnesses to appear in the case.\nMr. Young continued : Thc question was a malicious\nTiik conveyance of American mails over- -io1' asked .\nj.i\u00C2\u00BBj_ vv/ m Mr. Young who defended himscif, read n 13 amuaMt\nland, however partially it may have succeeded\nduring thc summer months is decidedly a\ndead failure in winter\u00E2\u0080\u0094indeed amounts to\nwhat may bc termed a froide plaisanterie on\n(he part of that government. We learn from\ngood authority that'not one half the letters,\nand certainly not one quarter ofthe newspapers arc now received monthlj- at thc Victoria Post Office, in proportion to those that\nformerly arrived by the northern ocean steamers, and many of the letters that do reach\ntheir destination arc so soaked and oblitera\nted as to be indecipherable.

He had been informed that Mr.\nYoung was a Pawnbroker in San Francisco, and wished\nto know whether he was a judge of such things. Witnesses can claim the protection of the Court if they think\nthey are asked improper questions, lie must call upon\nthe Court to check this intimidation of Counsel, otherwise it would be impossible for him to conduct tbe bus-\niness allotted to him.

She entered her husband's room.\nApproaching lhc table on which his drink for lhe night\nwas set she removed the stopper from the carafe, and\npoured into it the whole contents of a bottle she carried,\nat this moment she heard Servin approaching; he was\nascending the stairs, she saw thc reflection from the\nlight, he carried, on thc ceiling of the room. She could\nnot regain her chamber unobserved, but remembering\nthat she had pulled her door close as she came out, she\ndarted towards a large closet iu her husband's room,\nlined with lixed wardrobes, and opening the door of\none of these, stepped lightly in.\nShe had scarcely shut the door upon herself when\nServin entered Ihe outer room and shut himself in.\nShe drew before her some ofthe garments which hung\nfrom the pegs, aud cautiously settling herself into an\nendurable position, could hear Servin making and\ndrinking his coffee. Presently Monsieur Tiquet began to mumble indistinctly, and 10 toss his arms and\nhead. Anon the mutterings became incoherent sharply\nuttered words; at length a fierce delirium came on.\nServin took his master's hand: it was like fire to the\ntouch. The sick man called for drink, and Servin who\nhad taken especial care in '.he preparation, hastened to\ngive him sonic\u00E2\u0080\u0094but to his surprise found the stopper\nout ofthe carafe!\nNow he distinely knew that he had replaced this\nstopper; a slight circumstance had impressed the fact\non his mind ; it had fallen from his hand,upon the table, and had made a noise, which had startled his master from his lirst sleep.\nHe laid down the half filled glass, and filled another\nwith pure water, which the president drank eagerly.\nThen, going into the coridor, Servin went to Angelique's\ndoor; il was closed, but not latched and yielded to his\ntouch. The lire was nearly out when he looked in,\nbut as his eyes became, used tb the half-twilight, he saw\nthat the bed coverings wen; turned down, and thnt the\nbed was unoccupied. lie called to his mistress supposing that she might be in Ihe dressing-room, but when\nno answer was returned, he came back. He was sure\nthat Angelique had entered her husband's chamber\nwhen he was lirst absent. He looked under the heavy\nvalance of the bed, and examined every portion of thc\nfurniture, under or behind which she might be. Last\nof all he went to the closet, and as if by instinct, pulled\nopen the leaf of the wardrobe, and drew aside thc\npresident's robe of ollice, under which the guilty woman\nlay.\nHer eyes met his and without, a word she rose and\nstepped from her hiding place to the floor.\n\"Madame you have broken the agreement.\" You\ncannot blame me if I now take measure., to prevent\nnny injury either lo my master or myself. You must\nnot leave this room till the physician, for whom I shall\ninstantly send, shall have decided whether or no there\nbc poison iu the carafe the stopper of which I know\nwas put in by me, but which I found lying upon the\ntable.\"\nThc most abject entreaties succeeded Angelique's first\nspeechless terror, but Servin was deaf to he.-prayers.\nIn the rage which quickly supervened, when she llnng\nhersell on him iu her endeavors to escape, her strength\nwas no match for his ; yet the struggle was long befoic\nlie at last got her into the closet, which had no window,\nand there locked her in.\nAs soon as he had done that, he proceeded to\nawaken one of the men-servants, and sent him for the\nphysician. His muster was alarmingly worse: his thin\nvoice was raised in fearful scream..; his whole frame\nwas agitated by vain struggles to get up.\n\"Did you dare to kill my beautiful wife?\" he asked.\n\"Lie down, monsieur. I assure you that madame is\nsafe. She prefers to await the doctor's opinion in your\nWardrobe .: .oset; she is too much agitated to come near\nyour bed.\"\nThe. president stared at him, as if trying to comprehend bis words, and then with a heavy sigh sank back\nt-ilmlisted. Dawn was breaking when Ihe doctor arri\nved. Ilavng first attended to the patient, who was\nquiet though still wandering in mind, he listened while\nServin detailed his suspicions and the causes which\nhad aroused them, and finally produced the carafe,\nfilled with clear amber fluid, at the bottom of which a\nwhite sediment had settled.\nRy noon on the ensuing day all Paris was in a ferment. The intelligence was in every mouth that Mad-\ndame Tiquet for an attempt upon her husband's life,\nwas in prison and awaiting trial. The Chevalier Mongeorge, also, who had been until near midnight at the\nHotel Tiquet. was under an est and so was Angelique's\nmaid. The girl had in terror confessed all she knew,\nwhich was not a little. She declared that her mistress\nhad frequently gone, accompanied her, to the cabaret\nof Cattelain, whence she brought sometimes powders,\nsometimes liquids, which she told the girl were cosmetics that Cattelain's mother had taught bim to prepare. But the woman had watched, and had seen her\nmistress put portions of these things into the food of an\nAngora cat, and iuto the drinking-vessels of birds : and\nthev had all died. On one occasion, the girl had been\nabout to drink some soup which stood in a bowl on her\nmistress's table, but had only taken on* or two lnouth-\nfuls, when the lady came in,\"and was greatly enraged :\nthrowing away the remaining contents of the basin.\nThc maid was terribly ill for two days after that. At\nanother time, Angelique had sent her to Cattelain's\nwith a sealed letter, ou receipt of which the man had\ndelivered her a bottle which was the one now produced.\nIt had been full when .she gave il to her mistress; now\nit was empty. Cattelain had said to her, \"be discreet,\nand vou do not know what a great lady you yet may\nbe. Some day, soon, that old fox Tiquet will die, and\nI shall marry madame. We shall find you a good husband with money.\" She had believed him to be jesting, and had laughed : on which he hud seemed angry\nand iold her to make haste home.\nWhen she gave the bottle to her mistress, the latter\nhad kissed it and said, \" I have herewith to punish all\nmv enemies and make myself free. Have a. care that\nyou do not offend inc.'' The girl had then asked her\nniistre.-s what the phial contained? On which she\nreplied, \" Enough to prevent half a dozen men from\never Iceling a headache again. Something to cure\nMonsieur Tiquct's asthma and jealousy, at one draught.\"\nThis had occurred five days ago. She said she had\nbeen afraid to tell, although she knew that it was poison\nwhich Cattelain had sent. On the day after the scene\nnbove described, she said to her mistress that she\nthought she must tell some one of what she knew, for\nit lav heavy on her conscience ; ou which Angelique\nhad'made her swear to keeep it secret; telling her that\nif she did not do so, she should have some of the poison\nherself; nnd that it she told, she would bring punishment on her own head, for she wa: now in the eyes of\nthc law as criminal as herself. This, she said, had kept\nher silent. On her deposition, Cattelain was arrested,\nlu his house were found poisons of various kinds. In\none bottle, from which she said he had poured what he\nhad given her. was a preparation of arsenic and aconite,\nwhich the physician who attended the president declared lo be the same that was contained in the curate ot\nnight drink. The girl was asked whether she believed\nMonsieur Mongeorge to be cognisant of Madame Tiquct's\nintentions? She averred that he was not; on the contrary, mailamc had told her that if Monsieur Mongeorge\nknew, he would cast her oil', much as be loved her. As\nfor Cattelain. he firmly denied all the accusations, and\nthen relapsed into a dogged sullenness, from which\nnothing could rouse him.\nAngelique, who quite recovered her audacity and self-\npossession, resisted all entreaties to confess her crime,\navowing that nothing should induce her falsely to condemn herself, and cast a stigma on her child. She declared that the whole charge was a conspiracy between\nServin and her maid, who had an intrigue together;\nthat Servin had ruled his master before marriage, was\njealous of her influence, aud had taken this meehod of\ngetting rid of her. The torture by water was applied\nto her, hut she bore its agony with firmness, In thc\nsame chamber Cattelain was stretched on the rack, and\nfor some time bore tne torture without flinching; but\nas greater force wns applied, he yelled, and made a full\nconfession. Ilc avowed thai madame had promised to\n'marry him when her husband should be dead, and that\njas he himself was jealous of Mongeorge, he had meant\njto poison that person, as soon as he could find an opportunity.\nIt was plain that Mongeorge, who had been arrested,\nwas only guilty iu his love for Angelique, and he was\nat once set free, lie immediately repaired to the Hotel\nTiquet, nnd enforced admittance to the president, who\nwas restored to his senses, though prostrate with shame\nand grief. To him Mongeorge confessed that he loved\nAngelique, and swore never again to see her, if lur\nhusband would aid him to endeavour to procure her\npardon. The president agreed, His passion for his\nwicked wife was strong, and Mongeorge drew up in his\npresence a petition, which he signed. Then the chevalier departed to seek audience of the king, with whom\nhe wns a favorite.\nIt was of no avail : the king was kind in manner, but\ninflexible. The crime of poisoning had fearfully increased, and he was advised most urgently, to punish\nthe fust poisoner who could be brought to justice.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nMoreover, Mongeorge's relatives, who were of great consideration, having learned that the chevalier was about\nto intercede for Angelique, had been beforehand with\nI him, and had besought that the law might bc enforced,\nj Pitying the young man's dispair, the king again sent\nI him from Paris, that he might not be in the way, to witness Angelique's trial and execution. Perforce, Mongeorge departed ; but, in a few days, an old man, emaciated almost to a skeleton, his hair white, his limbs\ntottering, and supported by a grey-haired valet, demanded audience of the king. The petitioner held by ono\nhand a lovely little girl, and, on being presented to the\nking, knelt, and made his little daughter, kneeling nlso,\njoin her tiny hands in supplication for her mother's life.\nThe king raised him and embraced the child, but assured him that pardon was hopeless.\nThc day of trial came. The most untroubled innocence could not have displayed an eye more cloudless,\na brow more unruffled, than Angelique's. Her matchless tresses were fully displayed,, being arranged in\nclusters of heavy long curls, crowned willi a chnpclct\nof white roses. I ler robe of pure white was confined at\nthe waist by a cincture of turquoises and diamonds. Madame de Remonet, who had escaped on the I'rst alarm\nof her niece's detection, had been apprehended, and Angelique knew nothing of this until she saw her aunt led\ninto court, prisoner like herself. Cattelain, who was\ncarried in to give his evidence, fired when he saw the\nelder prisoner, and declared that it was she who had\ntaught him to prepare the poisons, and who had eotin-\ncelleil her niece to administer them. Sentence of death\nwas passed on all three. The waiting-maid was pardoned in consideration of her voluntary confession, but\ncondemned to retire for life to the convent of St. Agathc\nCattelain managed to drag himself to the feet of his\nmistress nml implored her pardon for having criminated\nher. \" I forgive you, ray poor Cattelain,\" she said ; \"it\nwns pain which forced you to belie yourself and tne.\nLet those who have compelled the false confession, answer for it to God.\"\nAlthough everyone was certain of Angelique's guilt,\nyet, the sympathy excited by her strange beauty and by\nher fortitude, extended far and wide among all classes\nin France. To add to the dramatic effect of her trial,\nby a strange coincidence it happened that the judge\nwho condemned her was her former lover, Henri St.\nChaubert. She listened without faltering to the words\nut the sentence, and then looked up at him with a smile\nsaying loud enough to be distinctly heard by all, so\nawestricken was the silence in the court, \"Ah! Monsieur St. Chaubert, is that yon ? Formerly our positions\nwere reversed : you were the trembling culprit, I was\nthe judge. I hear your sentence to-day with more\nj courage than you heard mine.\" St. Chaubert turned\n! ghastly white, and was obliged to lean back in his seat.\nI For many minutes he could not control his feelings.\nRedoubled efforts were made to procure Angelique's\npardon, but the king refused to receive any more petitions in her favor. Although tothe last she encouraged\nherself with the idea of ultimate escape from her terrible doom, the day of her execution found her (as may\nbe supposed) still under sentence of death. Dressed\nas she had been at her trial, and accompanied bv her\naunt, and Cattelain, and attended by a priest who vainly\nimplored iierto confess, she was borne on a cart through\nthe streets of Puris, exposed to the gaze of thousands.\nShe bore it unmoved, and her sole anxiety seemed to be\nthat her lovely hair should not be wetted out of curl by\na slight rain that was falling. When she reached the\nplace of execution, she said, peremptorily, tothe priest:\n'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Cease, Monsieur l'Abbe ; permit mc to die in peace.\nGive my love to my husband and daughter. Tell Monsieur Tiquet I forgive him his share in the foul conspiracy which has brought ine to this; and to the chevalier Mongeorge give my kindest adicux, and my hair, if\nit must be cut oil'. Su now, farewell, for I will hear no\nmore.''\nHer companions in crime suffered first. In a few minutes she, too, ceased to live. The excitemened past des-\nc ription. Women, and even men. shrieked und swoon\ned ; many fell and were trodden to death. The smallest\nlock of \"her hair sold for a large sum. As for the\nwretched president, he retired from public life, and.\nliving a life of seclusion with his child, placed her,\nwhen sufficiently old, in a convent of the Sucre Occur,\nwhere she ultimately took the veil, about a year before\nher father's death.\nOfthe poison spoken of in this true history, the worst\nwas surely that which the honest bookseller and jeweller gave to his little child when he first blindly suffered\nthe foul-hearted woman who became his murderess, to\ndrop her poisonous words into her car.\nS E L I M F R A N K I, I N A C 0.,\nAUCTIONEERS AND LAND A0EXT3,\nYates street, Victoria.\nIHnOWN LOTS IN VICTORIA AND ESQUIMALT, and\nI Fanning I.Mlds disposed of at public and private\nSale.
