Assassination of a French Judge.

--The foreign papers relate a startling assassination of M. Poinsot, one of the Judges of the Imperial Court of France, in a railway carriage between Troyes and Paris. M. Poinsot entered one of the compartments in a first-class car by the night train at Troyes, of which he was sole occupant. On arriving at the Paris station he was found dead, having been stabbed to the heart. The French cars are so arranged that no passenger can stop the train, and no immediate clue could be obtained to the murderer.
