    bistling clever man—a Eonian Catholic in religion , and a middle ol . iss reformer in politics . He has propounded a plan and hrought it under the notice of Mr . Hume for forming a party . His recipe is to get together the Manchester school—the radicals and the Irish members who adhere to Liberalism , and bind them together into a whole . He thinks that the time is particular } ' propituous fcr such a scheme . Mr . Hume is of a different opinion . He has had some experience in party making . Forgetting his . " own backslidings he complains that the liberal party is a rope of sand . He laments that those who have

    sat at his feet and listened to his wisdom have gone astray ; D'Israeli for example . Some of them have ridden off on their own hobbies , after own peculiar crotchets—some have gone popularity hunting on their own hooks , and some have been caught in Ministerial traps by baits known as places . As for the Irish members they are the worst of all—their intemperance , when they are sincere , would rain the best cause , their unsteadiness sets leadership at nought and their poverty if not their will consents to temptation . So Joseph is a leader without a reliable party . He is in the Egypt of a golden harvest of schemes but his brothers will not come , to' Mm . He is

    mmost in despair , yet , giving half an ear to the blandishments of Mr . Collins , he thinks that if a party could be made and if they could be fastened t = > one point—sa } r , the ballot , something might yet be done . The Times makes very merry over this . It rejoices , in the admission that reformers are impracticable people , and laughs heartily at the vetran economist . It thinks too , that the ballot is not exactly the point to unite upon . In this last thought we agree with the Times . The people w-nt the vote more than the ballot but they will not for any object follow leaders in whom they have not confidence . Mr .

    Hume , we think , had some hand in drawing up and settling a certain document known as " The Peoples' Charter . " It is jubt possible that the memory of that fact and . the knowledge of his present opinions may keep the people from following his standard . If he and his body would do what they ought to do and might do there would be a real people's party . If they would but put more hear !; into their agitation—if they would give it a basis of principle—if they would shew that they

    loved social rights as well as " the law of supply and demand / ' if they thought the happiness of the many , of as much importance as the wealth of the few , —if they would take a basis of political right instead of one of peddling expediency , and demand the real enfranchisement of the people , they would create such an enthusiasm , and raise such a party as no government dare long resist—but those things they will not do , and the people feeling they are not fit to lead- —to follow . .

    ^ Torturin g in Ambrica . —A shocking affair occurred at Lodi , Indiana , last week . A man named H . B . Smith , a trader of Covington , Kentucky , suspected a young man in his employ , named Cocaran , of appropriating , the sum of 2 , 800 dols . Smith , who had demanded of Cochran where the money was , seemed satisfiedwith the explanation , and continued to employ him .. But it now appears Smith only feigned to be satisfied . In company with a steersman and a driver , He took one of his boats and started for Lodi , under pretence of getting a load . When near the place he made an excuse for sending the driver back to Covingtontelling him to return the

    , following morning . He then went into the boat , drew a revolver on Cochran , and commanded him to tell where the money was ,, or he would kill him ; he now had him in his power , and unless he coniessed he would take his life . . Gochran said he could not tell him ior he did not know * and repeated the explanation formerly given ! A struggle ensued , and the steersman , coming to Smith ' s assistance tied Cochran ' s hands behind him . Smith then placed a runnine noose round Cochran ' s neck , and , passing the rope over a hook in a

    joist , drew him up until he stood upon tip-toe . In this situation he was kept from two o'clock in the afternoon until the next morning Jaraith in the meantime venting his anger in oaths and abuse . Fearing he would be discovered should the packet pass , he let the young man down , He was in such an exhausted condition that he immediately fell upon the floor , unable to rise . They then returned to Umngton Smith has been compelled to give bond in the sum of 500 dols . for his appearance at court . The steersman has escaned —Lerrysvill'Eagle . *

    FRANCE . ( prom our own correspondent . ) Paris , October , 5 . _ A . fearful traged y has been enacted here since my last . Mr . Morton , the Paris Correspondent of the Daily News , was killed I u ' Bower tne Correspondent of the Morning Advertise ^ in thehouse of the latter on Friday evening last . The annexed detailed account of this fatal affair I take from the Journal des JJebats of Saturday t—

    ™ , ^ . out nine ° ' clock on Friday evening , a crime was committed near the Madeleine , which has caused the most painful impression . Mr . Bower , thirtyeigut years of a « e , an Englishman , and Paris correspondent of the English paper , the Morning Advertiser , lived , with his wife and children , at No . 2 , Eue ae feeze . Some months ago , a countryman of his , Mr . Morton , about five-anduiirty years of age , correspondent of the English paper , the Daily ftit » , and who lived in the neighbourhood , at No . 22 * Boulevard des . Capuhine ^ became intimate witlilnm and visited Kim frequently , Some time afterward * fife attentions having excited some jealous suspicions in Mr . Bower , he dismissed him andforl ? But a "wnciUation seems to have taken place between them on

    * ™ , S ^ - ?! O 5 tfntin « ed his visits . Unhappily , a peculiar circumstance occurred which awakened Mr . Bower ' s suspicions , Hlsrwlftj already a tnotfrer of rour children , had been brought to bed about a month before , and her sufferings from the last confinement had been so great that they seemed from that time to have frequently affected her reason . In the evening of yesterday , during one of her fits , she told her husband that she would aee him no more , that he was the devil , that she loved him not , nor had she ever loved him , and she added that her new-born child was the child of Mr . Morton and not his . This strange confession made a terrible impression on the mind of Mr . Bowerhe restrained him

    ; - self , however , and at about 8 o ' clock sat down to supper ; he had scarcely begun his meal whenMr ; Morton entered . At the sight of him he flew into a rage orderuiehim to leave the room instantly ; and > asMn Morton seemed tooslo * in obeying his wishes , he rose , knife in hand , followed him on the staircase to the storey below , where , after exchanging a few words , he gave him from above , on tne left side of the head , close to the ear , a violent stab with the knife , which laid him motionless on the landing place , bathed in the blood which flowed freely from the wound . Death was instantaneous . The knife has been found ; a table knife , rounded at the end ; the blade was bent in the middle by the violence

    of the blow . The commissary of police of the quarter of the Madeleine , beta * informed of the crime , went immediately to the place , where he was soon afterwards joined by the protective agents , who searched without success the house from the cellar to the garret , for the murderer , who escaped no one knows how The firemen from the station in the Rue de la Paix , enme also to rendei ' assisi tanceand examined the roof of the house and of the neighbouring houses which were thoroughly searched but without success . The police agents having learned that Mr . Bower had another lodging at St . Cloud , where there were four ot his children and a nurse * went there in the night and remained till the morning but be did not appear there . It is supposed that he left Paris in the evening by some railroad . A description of him has been sent on all the lines bv eleetHc

    telegraph . His cook having declared that she had aided him in his flight , arid having refused to give any information , has been temporarily put under arrest . Several parts of Paris , and even the outskirts , have been searched this day , but up , to the present time it has been impossible to discover where Mr . Bower is concealed ; Thecrime has causeda great sensation in the quarter where it occurred : froai half-past nine till eleven a considerable number of persons were assembled before the house No . 2 , Rue de Seze , and before the house No ; 3 , Rue Caumartiri now undergoing repairs , and where it was supposed the assassin might have hid himself . Mrs . Bower was this evening removed to the asvlum of Doctor Blanche at Passy . "

    Ife seems that for a week previous to the fatal becurrance , Mr . Morton had been assidious jn his attentions to the sick Mrs . Bower ' Mr . Morton was much beloved by a large circle of friends here ' from his great talent and amiability and warm-heartedness of his nature . He has been connected with the Daily News ever since its establishment , and has contributed greatl y towards its success . He Was its correspondent at Constantinople Athens Ma

    , arid , Vienna , and Berlin , previous to his occupying that post at Paris . It is supposed that he has escaped from France by means of a forged passport , which he had in his possession . If taken he would , probably be condemned to the galleys for a term of years or for life ; for as there does not appear to have been any meditated vengeance on his . part , his crime is simply homicide , a crime not punishable with death .

    The ministerial journals continue to detail the universall y enthusiastic reception of the President on his southern tour ; but private tetters from many of the places mentioned flatly contradict these lying dispatches . M . Damanin , the mayor of Wyes , was shot on the 30 th ult , while leaving his own dwelling , to put himself at the head of the deputation , about to wait upon Bonaparte , for the purpose of presenting him with an adulatory address .

    , At Toulon the arch-traitor himself had like to have met a similar fate ., As he passed between the ranks of the soldiery , one of them levelled his musket at him and fired . Unluckily he missed his aim and he was immediately taken intS custody , The Bonapartist journals pretend that the firing was by accident , that the soldier wa * s not aware that his piece was loaded , &c . ; but it is certain that the attempt was the result of a military conspiracy . The poor lellow was secretly executed'two or three hours afterwards , having persisted to the . last ,. notwithstanding the offers of pardon made Him , m refusmg to ; divulge the names of his accomplices .

    ; A , number of persons have during the past week been sentenced ' to ] fine and imprisonment for exercising their wit at the expense of Louis Napoleon , or for expressing their indignation at the doings of thai personage . In many of the Communes of Lille the following "decree "in manuscript has been stuck upon the walls : ° Measures of General Safety , Decree of the President , in consequence of the ordinary loquacity of women , and the mischief whioh results from it , we have after mature deliberation decreed as follows Article 1 .
