After Gros's marriage witlisth iswotnmsanwho.was about twenty. nine years of e, they rented the half of a small odhe-story hofe situated next to the corner of St. Louis and Derbigny streets, containing only two rooms upon the aund floor.

A few days ago he borrowed from one of his friends, a member of the police, a pistol, and said he was about to arrest a.ydesperate runaway ne gro; and would, like to be pretArel, After getting possession of the pistol he took it home, and at times flourished it about, saying that he was going to kill himself. The friend who had lent him the revolver hearing that he contemplated suicides recovered it from him. Yesterday sospe'one saw him at horine crying and saying that he was going ,o kill himself, and complaining of the treatment ofkhis wife, who was at the time absent at her mother's. Last night, or early this moruidig, Mrs. McQuade, a woman living next door, with her husband, heard the report of a pistol, or some fire-arta, but -though tlae wall is only a thin lath paritiptio shpeouidd net tell'exeactly from what direction itseame,gawd she thought but little.ol it and went to sleep. Her husband, who was not present this morning, said ithat he heard the shot and had heardhigh words in the room the evening pre. vious. Quite early this moring the girl's mother, as washer wont, daily came to visit her daughter, and was accomp~anied by a young wotnan of her acs quaintance. They. knocke4 at the door, and the mother called for "Palmyre" to open, it, but all was still within. Trying to open the door, which was locked, they called to the little boy who usually slept with his mother. The little fellow had just waked up, a.d seeing blood, andthe lifeless form of his mother, at whose feet he War lying, sieamuned out to them to come in and see what;was the matter. Gaining entrance to the front roomsa horrible sight presented itself to the mother. Upon a small narrow coueh which she used for her-bed, lay the mangled form of her daughter, the bed and' floor beameared with blood. The body reclined upon the pillow, with arms folded as if only in sleep, but the whole of one side of the face and head had been blown th atoms. The 'opinion of the physician who held the; poas-mortem examination is, that the muzzale of t~ ,weapou must have been placed close up to the Wight eye, while she was fast asleep, and the discharge!killed her in stantly.. She was reclining on her leftaside, and did not apparently move an inch Friom the woman and child occupying this small couch in the front room, aind t good sized bed in the back room, it was pre sumable that Gross occupied diffekelt apartments from her; this estrangement heelg calhbd, the mother says, by a quarrel, and an expressed wish of her) daughtee to leave Gros, who :hadbeen, she said, aet isg contrary to her wishes. The murder must have been coolly and deliberately planned in the brain of Gros before puttiigit into exe~utios for after killing her, while she was asleep; he quiet left the house, locked the door, and has disap e to parts uu known. The Coroner held an inquest this morning upon the body, and after a post-mortem examination by Dr. D'Aquin, and the examination of one witness, (Mrs. McQeade,) the inquest was postponed until 6 o'clock tis evening. .. rs. MYr McQade said she had heard no quarreling of any account during the day. She only came to the bity on Saturday las'. No qae else seems to have heard the'1 epart of the.gun. - The agony of the old free colore;mother was terrible, and likerone crazed she, walked a}d downi the banqgete, wringing .her ands ad -uteroing. a "lqitious upon~ the head of the murderer bf her child.

A letter from New York says : Long before the time of sailing, a very large crowd had assembled -ona thesteamer's wharf, at the foot of Warren street. A squad of police-were on handearly, and guarded the gateway to the wharf, and inside more care wu needed by the officers to keep back the dense crowd at the gang-plank. The Scott Life-Guard. under Captain Ward, arrived with a gun- just before two o'clock, and took up a position on the end of the wharf. Com missary General Welchhad refused themt the use of a gun from the arsenal for a salute ; but, as they would not do without one, it was procured and paid fo:, A few minutes after the arrival of the-mili tary, Gen. Seott arrived in a carriage, and was received with hcarty-cheers, which in creased to enthusiasm 'as the. aged veteran slowly made his way up the gang-plank. When he reached the steamer's deck, he •turned and saluted the assemblage below, and then proceeded to the upper deck, where he was followed and warmly greeted by the cffi cers and members of. the Life Guard and .many other persons. He appeared quite well, and seemed in cheerful spirits. Whenever the crowd on the wharf could get a glimpse of him they greeted him with hearty cheers. When, finally, the Star of the West backed out into the stream, the crowd, both on the wharf and on the steamer Empire City, which was at her berth on the opposite side of the pier, broke into enthusiastic cheers, and a salute of thirteen guns was fired by the Life Guards. Guns were also fired from the deck of the Empire City, and a steamer lying in the stream. The Star of the West was saluted with colors, guns and steam-whis tles, from various vessels as she proceeded down the bay, and a salute was also fired from Fort Columbus. - The ter CAUSSIDIERE, EX-MNIEA OF FRENCHe oust PoOL1c.-The New York correspondent of bile the Charleston Mercury, in his letter of Sept i" 23d, writes: n4 Among the celebrities who traverse the ow, Broadway grottoir, day after day, unknown pre- to the busy million, is the giant form of M. a Mare Caussidiere, who you will remember, her was the Minister of Police under the short -. lived Provisional French Government of ave 1848. Caussidiere is the tallest and ston e of test man in the city with the exception of l"; General Scott, and would compare well in u' height and bulk with the Arabian hautman holding his levees at Barnum's. The ex pan Police Minisver is now a Marchants de by Fins on Broadway, nejr Bowing Green; a e' much safer and more profitable business than that of revolutionizing France. His gigan gof tic frame and commanding mien seem to qua the lify him for the responsible and dangerous ave duties of his former office, and-one can rea d dily believe the stories which :sre told of his og determi tion and intrepidity during the cad brief' a. bloody whirl ofthe revolution. irge His tow ing stature anl great strength did Snot prevent him, however,from receiving tie attentions Of the garroters, during the -short idre of those local thugs here, about three ru years ag. Caussidiere was going home from atea arhTbouse-late at night, when, on tar niu corner he was attacked by a dozen of '"a these speradoes. The ex-Minister of Po, ' lice tluek out his terrible right and his dan ed, geo.ieft,and knocked down half a dozen a- of hi assailants in quick succession, but their M7 nnmbuera were too many for him; a simulta Saeos urush upon the giant'sbak k'brought him t to the ground, but, before their larcenous en purpose could be accomplished, a pose of (- policemen, who had been attracted by the er- noise,. reachedthe spot and-put. the rififians mtofight. :Cansidieere ws considerably in id- jured by the assault, and walked with a per n, ceptible limp for some time afterwards. These c. reminisoences are suggested by .observing a that Caussidiere was not present at the French ~R edaRepublican npeeting last night. He has .m never taken part in these annual gatherings.

The history of this -woman is curious. She was observed .

This eventuality was not long in coming. The new marchibuness could not consent to live in the heart of Portugal, whither her husbnd hbad taken her; so, after making useless efforts to retain her, he counted out the million and let her go. At the end of a year the million had van ishted, so the Marehioness was obliged to sell furniture,'horsds, and carriages, and to take refuged in .furi-hdd lodgings, where she spent her last cent She had not the wherewithal to pay for a dinner, when she met a friend, to whom she told her condition, and who of fered her a meal at the restaurant Ledowen, in the Champs Elysees.

(yan ex change paper) who most religiosly blee in. lunar influences upon sublunary objects, we collect the following useful (?) information for their.especial benefit : I. Vines, if pruned when the moon is in light, will shoot out, spread, and grow fast, particularly if done in the second quarter because, as the light of the moon increases, so does the sap in the tree. 2. Vines, if pruned when the moon is de creasing in light, will not. grow nor spread fast-particularly if it be done during the last quarter, because the sap decreases with the light. 3. Timber cut down when the moon is in. creasing will soon become rotten, particular ly if she be in her second quarter. 4. Timber cut down when the moon is de creasing, will last for years, and the more du rable it will be if cut down during the last !quarter. . 5. Peas sown during the moon's increase will bloom to the last, and will be full and rich ii flavor; still more certain if sown du :ring the second quarter. 6. Peas sown when the moon is decrea sing in light will be just in the opposite con dition. 7. The age to. which a pomegranate will live, depends on the moon's age at the time of plantin, g; it will live just as many years as the moon was days old; 8. Plants and shrubs shoot up and take little root, if planted when the moon is de creasing in light and by the zodiacal signs' Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius. 9. If planted in the signs Taurus, Virgo, or Capricornus they take :deep root and do not grow at all. 10. Pork killed upon the decrease of the moon, and especially in the last quarter, and made into bacon, will shrink when boiled, and will be tough, stringy and unwholesome. 11. Pork killed when the moon is on the increase, and especially in the second "quar ter, and made into bacon when boiled will swell, be plump, tender and wholesome. 12. Soap made on the increase of the moon, and especially in the second quarter, will thicken and be serviceable. On the contra ry, soap made on the decrease of the moon will not thicken, and will be worthless. 13. By all means, never go fishing on or near the'full of the moon, as they won't bite then. 14. But above all, never go a courting except in the two first quarter of the moon, as the human family are much more liable to moon strokes then than in any other of the moon's phases. Observe the above and you will always have vigorous vines, lasing fences, prolific peas, long lived pomegranates, wholesome ba con, clean clothes, plenty of fish, and a claer conscience, to say nothing of a wife and many children--Southern Cultivator. " Husband, I wish you would buy me some pretty feathers." "Indeed, my dear little wife, you look better without them." " Oh no, sir, you always call me your little bird, and how does a bird look without feathers." It is said that a lady, on putting on her corset, is like a man who rinks to drown his grief, because in so-lacin herself she is get.. ting tight. Harmless mirth is the best cbrdial against the consumption of the spirits; wherefore jes ting is not unlawful, if it tresspasseth not in quantity, quality or season.
