HER DEATH CONFIRMED.

Offcial confirmation was received In Glasgow bast month of the death in the United States of Madeleine Smith, whose trial in the High Court in Edinburgh in July, 1857, jcaused & great nensation through-

Though hopelessly ineligible suitor, L'Angeller became infatuated with Madeleine, and visited her. clnn- Idestinely in India-street and latter-
