It is said that , stay u » =. w ... > to an end , the Emperor and Empress will visit our Queen at Osborne . This will probably be about the beginning of next month . . ¦ -.-.-. i Besides the towns already mentioned m this journal , the Opposition candidates in the late elections obtained a majority of votes at Nimes , Bar-sur-Seine , Nogentsur-Seine , Laigle , Vienne , Angers , Auxerre , Metz , Saint Brieuo , Saint L 6 , Lorient , Sens , Grasse , Beaune , Samt Jean de Losnes , and Poitiers . At Montauban and Perigueux , the Government candidates were only a very few votes ahead of their adversaries . M deLamartine writes to the evening papers to deny that " he has been a candidate at any place . His old constituents , the electors of llteon and the villages adjoining , resolved to vote for him , even without his Domini forward ; and they polled nearly 3000 in his favour ^ though no bulletins were printed ; but this number was a minority . " Several of the defeated candidates , " says the Daily News Paris correspondent « speak of contesting the regularity of the returns ol their opponents when the Corps Legislatif assembles . M de Romand , the ex-prefect of the Saone-et-Loire . who was an extra-official candidate for that department , has forwarded a protest to 3 VL Senator Baron Chapuis de Montlaville , president of the committee of votes ai Macon and announces his intention of submitting proofs of various illegalities of which he complains tc the President of the Corps Legislatif . " We read in the same letter : — " The Lloyd Franqau announces that France is about to establish a consulate on the coast of Gambia . This journal desires to see th < number of French consuls greatly augmented , am attributes the commercial superiority of England ii great measure to the admirable organisation of her consulates . —Colonel Henry , one of Prince Jerome ' s aidesde-camp , and the Abbe" Doussot , formerly a chaplain t ( the army of the East , have gone to Florence , to brin ^ to France the body of Prince Jerome Napoleon , eldes son of Prince Jerome , who died at Wurtemberg in 1847 being at the time a captain in the King of Wurtemberg ' s guards . The Emperor has decided that the remains of his cousin shall repose in the Invalides . " In this general system of coercion on the part of the A / iminiofnnfinn Av \ r \ x \ fT the elections , the most disgraceful
wm----fLUUJIUIlD ^ lHU ^ v ^ o * - * act perhaps , is the exclusion of M . de Montalembert from the new Chamber , every sort of machinery havin g been put in motion in the department of the Doubs against him . A Deputy-Chamberlain , M . Conegliano , whose name has hardly ever been heard beyond the precincts of the ante-chamber , is preferred to such a man as M . de Montalembert . Tbe vacancy created in the Prefecture of the Department of the Nord , and to which M . Collet-Meygret is appointed Prefect , is one of the-, consequences of the elections . The present prefect is removed because the pressure he exercised against M . Broun , the Opposition candidate , turned out useless , ns M . Braun was returned . M . Gustavo de Kainond , tho in the ienm
Opposition candidate department or me v -, has presented a strong protest to the President of the Commission du Reconsemont against the Prefect for alleged excesses and abuse of his authority , his refusal to allow the local papers , to publish his reply , and the arrest of the persons who were employed in distributing his voting tickets . The truth is , tho unfortunate Prefects know that their own fate depended on the success of tho Government nominees . — Times Paris Correspondent , Three Italians are in custody in Paris , charged with
conspiring to assassinate the Emperor . Mademoiselle Rachel ' s retirement from the stage is said to be definitive . She h « 8 personally given her resignation to M .

Our Civilization. —-? The Glasgow Poison...
OUR CIVILIZATION . — - ? THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE . Anothek of the dark romances of poisoning of which we have had so many within the last few years has been investigated this week . The scene this time is Scotland , and the suspected poisoner a young lady . Miss Madeline Smith was on Tuesday placed at the bar of the High Court of Justiciary at Edinburgh , charged with the murder by poison of Emile L'Angelier , a French gentleman who had paid his addresses to her . She is described as of very prepossessing appearance , and she exhibited great self-control . The Times reporter says : » Her head never sank for a moment , and she even seemed to scan the witnesses with a scrutinizing glance . Her perfect self-possession , indeed , could only be accounted for either by a proud consciousness of innoalmost alleled
cence or by her possessing an unpar amount of self-control . She even sometimes smiled with all the air and grace of a young lady in the drawing-room , as her agents came forward at intervals to coTtimunicate with her . She was dressed simply , yet elegantlv . She wore a brown silk dress with black silk cloak , w ' ith a small straw bonnet trimmed with white ribbon of the fashionable shape , exposing the whole front of the head . She also had lavender-coloured gloves , a white cambric handkerchief , a silver-topped smelling-bottle in her hand , which she never ' used , and a wrapper thrown over her knee . Altogether she had a most attractive appearance , and her very aspect and demeanour seemed to advocate her cause . " The indict-. mont h . ivin £ r been read , she pleaded Not Guilty .
The first witness of importance was Mrs . Jenkins , with , whom L'Angelier had lodged from last July till he died . \ One morning about the middle of February , she went . into his room about eight o ' clock , and found he had been \ vomiting seriously , and that he complained of a burning , pain in his bowels and stomach , also of thirst and cold . L She recommended him to call upon a doctor , which he did that dav , and got some medicine . The illness made , a great change in him , and he never altogether recovered from it . The second illness was on a Monday morning , [ soon after , but it was less serious . After that he went to } Edinburgh for some time to recruit his health , and subsequently to the Bridge of Allan , whence he unexr pectedly returned on Sunday evening , the 22 nd of March . I Ho went out that evening , and returned next morning » about half-past four , alarmingly ill , having scarcely been t able to walk home . Then followed a series of violent fits of vomiting and purging , which terminated in the young man ' s death about nine o ' clock in the morning . know
Mrs . Jenkins did not or asK wnere ne nau Deen . Subsequent witnesses proved L'Angelier ' s receipt of a letter on that Sunday morning at tho Bridge of Allan , his taking the train at Stirling to Coatbridge , and his walking thence to Glasgow . The letter in question was follows oeiovea
read . It was as : " wny , my , am you not coma to mo ? Oh , beloved , are you ill ? Come to ine , sweet one . I waited and waited for you , but you came not . I shall wait again on you to-morrow night , same hour and arrangement . Do come , sweet love—my own sweet love of a sweetheart . Come , beloved , and clasp me to your heart ; come , and wo shull be happy . A kiss , fond love . Adieu , with tender embraces . Ever believe me to bo your dear fond Mini . "
Some letters to L'Angelier were found in a bag belongiug to him after his death , by " William Stevenson , a friend and fellow-warehouseman at Glasgow , who said in his evidence : — " I read some ef tho letters . ( Shown letter commencing , * Wednesday—Dearest sweet Emile —I am so sorry to hoar that you are ill . ' ) Taut letter was in the small bag ; I marked ' bag' upon it when I initialed it . ( Shown letter commencing ! * My sweet dear pet—I am so sorry you should be so vexed , ' with an envelope bearing tho words , For my dear and everboloved sweot ISmilo . ) That was in tho bag . It is marked by mo in the same way . Tho envelopo of letter commencing ' My own best lovod pet—I hope you are well , ' was in tho bag . I have not marked the letter , but , if this is ita envelope , it was there too . Tho letter commencing , ' Dearest and beloved—I hope you are woll , I am very well and anxious , ' I can ' t spook to . " Tho witness also spoke of three other letters as boing found in tho bag . " So far as I examined tho documents in the bag , I kept the letters in their original
envelopes , nnd delivered tho bag locked to tho otiluor . I did not shift tho lotters and envelopes to my knowledge . " On tho second dny ( Wodnosclay ) , William Stevenson was further crosH-oxumlnod . Ho said that there might liuva boon from two-hundred-and-flfty to tliroo-liundrod letters found in repositories of L'Angolior'd . Tliore was . a largo number of thorn in tho handwriting of n Mies . Porry 5 probubly one-third as many as those of Miss
