The correspondence of the London Times, dated Versailles 7, says the condemnation to death of the Petroleuses is an event more startling than that of Lullier's to those , who heard the evidence on which it was professedly based. They were found guilty, among other charges, of complicity in arson, and there was not one jot or tittle of evidence to establish this charge in the eyes oi' the French law. The witnesses had seen them making themselves highly useful and agreeable to their friends of the national na-tional guard, but had not seen them set fire to any building, or join in preparations made by others for fire. They had not even heard the accused, with one exception, threaten to set anything on lire. They had seen or heard other women doing or saying all this, but not the accused. Lullier has appealed to the higher courts for a revision of his sentence, and it is to be hoped, taking into consideration that he was a madman for many years, and that his family believed in his insanity, that tho sentence will not be carried out.
