LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST R. Tun composition. sled &erecter of our Oriental army are known from history. Throughout the anarchical states of the list there are everywhere to be found bands of robbers, or chiefs like our feudal hereto, who, with their dependents, ate little better than robbers. War on a small scale is waged incessantly by all these amociations. Every now and then there arises some individual of this amiuble fraternity endowed with greater skill of combination and more ambitious views. He attaches to his for tunes a number of minor leaders, organises a more numerous following, extends his operations over a wider district. The attention of Government is called to hie excesses ; troops are marched against him and defeated. His name becomes famous. A state crisis is precipitated by some Court intrigue; this leader of banditti is courted by one of the aspirants to the throne; his weight thrown into the scale de cides the struggle; and the bandit chief becomes a general. It may be that he remains contented with a subordinate position ; it may be that in the death throes of an expiring dynasty he sets the crown upon his own head ; in either case a numerous army rallies round him. So long as he lives, or is prosperove, this engine of his ambition con tinues efficient. If he dies, or meets with a series of reverses, it melts away. So long as the army retains its organisation it is the real government of the region it occupies. The nominal sovereign is but a mere shadow of authority ; even its real commander is obliged to tolerate the licence of the soldiers. The mercantile dames in the cities, the cultivators in the rural districts, are at the mercy of the soldiery. The army is the one dominant power. The army includes not merely all varieties of fighting men, but all the speculating and de bauched hordes of camp followers who attend it, To belong to the army or its followers is, as it were, a patent of nobility. Such are Oriental armies among the Native States. Such were the armies of Hindustan when first a few detached bodies of Sowers or Sepoys were enrolled fur the defence of our various Factories in India. Out of such ma terials the Company's army long continued to be recruited. A few English officers were attached to regiments composed of native soldiers ;aid native officers, in order to impart to them a smattering of European discipline. But of late years the number of European officers has been increased; the native officers have been reduced to an entirely subor dinate position ; and the native army of the East India Company has been cast in an European mould. The external form of the army has been completely Europeanised, but bee the character of the component ingredients been changed? To help as in the attempt to answer this question, let to give a glance at the Bengal army— the late Bengal army. In 1833 the Bengal native army numbered in all 83,946 mem. Of these, 70,079 were infantry. Of the composition of the cavalry, the returns are silent, bat the infantry wee thus claasified—Brahmins, 26,893 ; Bajpoots, 27,335; Hindoos of inferior costes, 13,761 , htahometans, 12,699 ; Christian', 1 ,1113; Sadie, 30. The far greater number of recruits for this army were obtained, not from the Company's terri taries,lsot ham the territories of a foreign prince—from Order. They were either men in whose familiar the profession of soldier was hereditary, or young, daring idlers who preferred the trade of arms to regular industry. They have been and are pre cisely the same materials as those of which the armies of the East have been composed from time immemorial. Their object in enlisting was to obtain a position which would enable them to gratify their irregular appetitee—to lord it over the industrial elsaaes. The checks upon this domineering class have been feeb!e and futile in the extreme. To each regiment there g have been attached, nominally, _3 English officers ; but of these, on an average, six have been absent on staff or political appointments, and more upon sick leave. Of tbs remainder, some have possessed bat an imperfect knowledge of the native languages 4 --almost all, nursed and strengthened in English habits, have had little intercourse with their soldiers. The very regulations of the service have aimed at reducing to a minimum the personal influence of the officer over his soldiers. The native soldiery have been left entirely to themselves; they have been influenced by a public opinion of their own. They had aims and aspirations of which their English officers did not even dream. Nor is this true of the soldiers alone. The camp-followers of an Indian army are to the fighting men in the proportion of five to one. These followers have been the parasites, the subser vient tools, It. of the officers than of the native sol diers. They are when required the obedient minis ters to their vices ; unwatched, uncontrolled, the two crass serve to corrupt each other. A letter, eigned " A tion-oombstaat,"; which the Doily News published yesterday, throws a startling light upon the character and con duct of or native soldiers in BMA U. tells r that when on the line of much the 8.,. " are in the habit of demand* and re- costs& minimum, say of 2001." True," say the oppo nents of the measure, " you have reduced the coat of obtaining a divorce some four-fifths, but you have not yet so fur reduced it as to place it, in popular phrase,within the reach of all." The answer is obvious, and it is complete : ere would have reduced it still further had it not been for the certainty of your strenuous opposition : as it is we are quite con tent to let the matter rest where it stands—experi mentaily. Let us prove to those who profess to doubt it that oar domestic morality can survive the shock of divorce at 2001. instead of at 1,2001. Scotland we know keeps up a pass able reputation for virtue with divorce at 401. ; but then Scotland is a peculiar country, where the action of aim. eon. has never taken root, where gallantry is not the mode, and the temperate ness of passion counterbalances the cheapness of indulgence. Let us wait and see. If the admission of illouinsbury to the privileges of Belgravia is found, after a few years experience, to make no inroads on the connubial felicity of the metropolitan middle-classes, even the most vehement alarmists may Do not indisposed to take a step in advance, and cheapen the divorce process down to the level of Whitechapel. If this, too, be found, as we are con fident it would be found, not only absolutely safe, but eminently beneficial to the real interests of morality, then the argument would be irresistible forextending to the domesticinfelicity of Cumberland or Cornwall, by means of local tribunals, the same remedy of efiertual divorce from the bonds of matri mony as was already enjoyed by the less opulent classes of the metropolis. There is no finality in all this ; but there is what is better, there is progress. The time is gone by for any Whig Statute of Limitations against the adaptation of legal procedure ki the ascertained wants of the time. It is impossible to commend the mode in which this bill is being carried through the House by Sir R. BETHELL. The timidity with which some clauses are abandoned, and the flippancy with which others are defended, are alike calculated to twits attack and provoke opposition. The result of this style of proceeding has already made itself manifest. Why should the ArroaNuv- GENERAL have thought himself concerned to oppose Mr. Burr's motion, afterwards adopted and pressed tea division by Lord JOHN MANNERS, for the trial el eases of judicial separation before local tribunals? As to the competency of the County Courts fur the trial of this class of cases there can be no manner of doubt. It is equally clear that unless the County Courts, or some other local tribu nals, are empowered to deal with cases of this kind, provincial suitors for judicial separation will be in a worse position than at present, when there are in almost every pa.-t of the country district ecclesiasti cal courts where in suits of this description some kind of redress may be obtained. Whatever may be thought of the wider proposidon—to try all divorce causes, whether the parties seek Dissolution or only Separation, in the first instance before local tribunals —there can surely be no reasonable doubt of 'I the expediency of giving a local jurisdiction in Separation causes. The defeat sustained by Govern ment in the division which took place on the pro posal to vest local tribunals with jurisdiction in cases of divorce d mens.i et thoro, ought to indicate with sufficient clearness to her l't.lsf unit's Arrows's- GENERAL that to this extent he must be prepared im mediately to concede the principle of local adjudi cation. miring gresis whatever they want over and above the ration' supplied to them by Government." Thl peasantry never dream of resisting these exac tions; the Government wick at them. That the English authorities are not ignorant of this abuse every one may convince himself who takes the trouble to consult the evidence of the military officers examined by the Committee of the House of Lords in 1833. Ile may at the same time learn, from the evidence of Lord NIELVILLE, how utterly unable the officers of the Bengal army were, during the war in the Panjanb, to enforce anything like European discipline even when their soldiers were in face of an enemy. In short, the native soldiery in Bengal have retained all the charac teristics of the old native armies. 'Their outward show of European organisation is only skin deep. They are the same rapacious, unprincipled creatures, of impulse as those who have at various times fol- 1 lowed Narita Snow or any other Oriental conqueror. But this our Anglo-Indian authorities—civil 'mil military—have never suspected. They have felt that they themselves had nothing iu common with the military adventurer who rallied round the con-1 clamors of firmer days, and it never occurred to them that their native soldiers could differ from tlinmsele es. They saw the Sepoy in his idle hours— I when well fed and good-humoured —fondling children, and jumped at the coneluAion that he was a pare extract of the milk of ' human kindness. They never for a moment re-1 fleeted that the tiger, too, has its momenta of play fulness and beauty. me awful storm of human ferocity which has broken over the heads of these thoughtless victims, might have been foreseen bad they but bethought themselves what human nature is when left to the guidance of impulse and trs- 1 ditional habit. The lesson has been a terrible ' one : will it produce any lasting effects? Will the Anglo-Indian Government, instead of re maining contented with a force which is a tole rable imitation of the externals of an European army on parade, seek to imbue their reconstructed army with something approaching to the principles and sentiments of European soldiers? 'Will they, while this slow task is in progress, place at the heads of their armies men whose commanding characters are fitted at once to intimidate and win soldiers to obedience? English soldiers may be effectually led by common-place men who understand the trade of war ; but men of genius are required to wield a wayward and impulsive Oriental soldiery. THE grouse are strong on the wing ; we arc only four days from the 12th of August; the temperature has been alarmingly high ; our legislators have been sitting day after day from twelve at noon till two the next morning ; outside the house the old woman hood of the country is in a moral paroxysm; 9,000 parsons arc in full petition; within the House her MAJESTY'S ATTORNEY-GENEHAL has been exhibit ing all that perfection of tact and that exquisite polish of well-bred sarcasm which have so long endeared him to his brother practitioners in Chancery—is it wonderful that under this promising combination of circumstances her MAJESTY'S Opposition should have somewhat lost head and temper in the recent debate on the Divorce Bill? On Thursday night those who had hitherto vehemently opposed the Bill because it ren . . dered divorce and judicial separation too easy, completely changed their point of attack, and dc claimed against the measure because it made the remedy too dear. It failed to secure equal justice for all chums ; it was not a poor man's Bill; instead of throwing open the local tribunals and thus bring ing the means of obtaining divorce and separation within the reach of the distant and the needy, it established a central tribunal, the cost of applying to which would still place it beyond the means of the 'less opulent. Now,wehave maintained throughout, and WC main tain still, that this point, now urged by the G la& onion opposition solely with a motive to embarrass and per plex, is in itself a point of very considerable im portance. We quite agree with her NIAJENTT'S Op position, though we are undoubtedly surprised at finding ourselves on such a question supported by such allies, that equality of right, realised as far as possible by a cheap, simple, and local procedure, subject to the watchful superintendence of an exalted and central tribunal, is in theory the great :objest to be aimed at by the reformers of oar diverse system. Whatever be the object sought by:the parties—whether mere judicial separation, ,era emplete dissolution of the nuptial tie—the first step in the procedure, in all cases where distance or poverty render it desirable, ought to be an investi gation Define local tribunals: the Courts of Maize, when they are sitting ; the County Courts, or the courts of the stipendiary police magistrates, when they are not. On the evidence thus taken before the itinerant or the local tribunals, the central court alstseld set just ea the Courts in Bane now act on application for new trials in civil eases, or as the Criminal Court of Error acts in cases of criminal Weal. But, although this is our deliberate opinion— *ugh we can see no possible danger in such a course, and are convinced that relief to this extent will ultimately have tobe conceded—yet, not being under any Parliamentary exigency of harassing the Government by a party opposition, we are perfectly risk to bide our time, and quite contented to take, in the first instance, that moderate amount of im provement which the Government Bill, even in its present form, affords. Lord JOHN HUY , SELL has been pleased to dissent from this course, and to go in for finality ; as once in Parliamentary Reform, so now in Divorce Reform. Lord Joan RVs ELL'S objection proceeds from taking an incomplete and somewhat confused view of the question before the House. It can never be too often repeated, or too clearly borne in mind, that in this, as in all other measures of Law Reform, there are two very distinct objects to be kept in view : a change in the substantive law, and a change in the law if procedure. In many Law Reforms the first of these two objects is the principal one; in the re form of our Divorce Law it is the latter. The sub stantive law of Divorce relates solely to the grounds of Divorce: these, with the single exception of making adultery with desertion a ground of dissolu tion for the wife, arc left by the Bill completely as they were. It is the procedure by which Divorce is to be procurable, not the substantive law by which its causes are defined, that is alone affected by this Bill. But surely no enthusiast for finality ever carried his fanaticism so far as to require that the forms of legal procedure should be fixed once far all with unerring precision and etorsid inflexibility. This distinction was well pointed eat by Lord STANLZT, with all that aptitude for veining the trot bearings of a caw which is becoming MOM end more a confirmed habit with this young and rising statesman. Changes in the law regulating the grounds of divorce are an evil ; changes in the law regulating the mode in which divorces may be obtained stand on a very different footing. Apply these principles to the present case : the present divorce procedure, by action of erne. tow, Mk in the Ecclesiastical Courts, sad private Act of Parliament, costa a minimum say of 1,0001. The reeedsre iutroduosd by the Oceelasent Bill AMONGRT other projects of law waiting, like the Platonic ideas, to be embodied in act, but des tined, we fear, for this Session not to pass the incomplete stages of early development, is the very useful Bill introduced by Sir FREDERIC Tur.stcea, with the concurrence of Government, for the abolition of Grand Juries within the limits of the Metropolitan Police District. A very great deal of nonsense has been talked in the House of Commons with reference to this Bill. If we are to believe Mr. BOWYER and Mr. RESTON, the proposed measure Naps the principles of the constitution, and strikes at the liberties of the subject. Is this the serious apprehension of men ardent for the maintenance of English freedom, or the mere eleutherotnanisc rant of p opularity- -.— hunters seeking vulgar applause by cheap clap-trap . Let us see. The hon, and learned members for Dun dalk and the Tower Hamlets tell us that the insti tution of the Grand Jury has often been found the principal protection of the subject against the perse cutions of lawless power. They especially vaunt its value in cases of high treason and other State offences. We rather doubt the soundness of this view as borne out by the facts of history. In the worst times of the second CHARLES the Grand Jury of London no doubt occasionally interposed in the way suggested. They ignored the bill against Lord SHARE/Mt= ; they ignored the bill against COLLEDGE. But this was a very transient exer cise of independence. In the next reign they not only afforded no protection against the worst excesses of tyranny, but they even surpassed the Petty Jury in their eager subservience to the ferocity of the Court. Not a single cue at the Bloody Amin," in which the bill was not found by the Grand Jury. In the case of Ettuerrn GAUNT, who was burnt at Tyburn for harbouring a traitor I in the case of Column, the High Sheriff of don, who was hung and quartered or. the IMO day in Cheapside, without one iota of legal evidence to substantiate anything that could be strained into a crime—the billewere found with the utmost medium by the Grand Jury. In the still more useesteme ease of the Lady ALICIA LISLE, whose sentence was mercifully (!) commuted from burning to beheading, there was not only no difficulty in finding a bill, but the unhappy lady, in that most affecting paper which she delivered to the Sheriff at the place ed execution, especially particularises her forgive ness of " him that desired to be taken from the Orand Jury to the Petty Jury, that he might be the wee nearly concerned in my death." To come down a little nearer to our own times, did anyone ever bear, during the Tory reigns of terror under Ptvr and Strixourn, that the Grand Jury discovered any alacrity in interposing, for the protection of the sub ject, against the persecuting real of the Crown lawyers ? Whst wrought the deliverance of HARDY sad HORNE Toms, and THELWALL and HONE, and Wsysos ?—not surely the refusal of the Grand Jury to find a true bill, but the determination of the Petty Jury to pronounce for an aapdttal where they honestly felt there had been a Ware to pewee guilt- Even supposing, then, that all this 4imieleation about the function of Grand Juries to mamba the in vaded liberty of the subject were appilealis to Sir FREDERIC THISTGER'S Bill, it is uttmirmapported by the ;facts of history. It is to no teamed judging ex porte, and sworn to secrecy, that Inglisimen own the protection of their liberties and the ideamof their lives, but to that tribunal which judges openly, after hearing all that can be urged on both dim sad do. livers its verdict before Goo and the mesmtry. Dat what makes all this Tower Hamlets = especially absurd in the present same is the ink that Sir F. Taaelosa's Bill distinctly naught aim at High MUM from the operation of the po• joid law. " Nothing hereinbefrce oontaiatat‘do Imsoostisa4—" shall apply to any charge of Medi% or orloprionnt of tomato% and all proosedings thaws THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1857. shall be hand taken as if this Act had not been pawed." But then, ejaculates the enraged Member for the Tower Hamlets, " with the abolition of Grand Juries the nation will lose the right of impeaching &minister of the crown; and then what will beoome of the national liberties ?" There are some questions so wonderfully absurd that their mere utterance takes away all power of reply. It is an old discovery that " pure no meaning puzzles more than wit;" and there are really few things more perplexing than to have to answer with any gravity this portentous query of Mr. AYRTON. Lest, however, any one, even in the Tower llamlets,should think there may be something in the inquiry, we must take the liberty of remind ing the Hon. Member that there is one tribunal, and one only, to which is entrusted the right of im peachment for high offences against the State, and that is the grand inquest of the nation in the Com mons House of Parliament assembled. We arc ashamed at having thus to descend to the mere alphabet of polities ; but the fault is not ours. Let us just consider quietly what this institution of the Grand Jury in its present state really is. It is neither more nor less than asecret tribunal, which at the last moment, just before a prisoner whose case has previously been fully investigated by the com mitting magistrates, goes to trial, investigates ft over again very hastily and very imperfectly, with a view of deciding whether he ought to be sent to actual trial or not. Before a tribunal thus consti tuted all sorts of abuses are possible and are proo tiged. There is no cross-examination—only one side is head. Astute villany may tamper, and . often does tamper, with witnesses whose truth or falsehood there is no means of checking. Hence many cases are not sent to trial which ought to be. That is one evil. Another and a yet more dangerous one is, that the unscrupulous and malig nant have every facility afforded them for getting up evidence in the first instance against the innocent, and thus procuring blameless men to be sent for trial by the Grand Jury, when there would be no chance of getting them committed by a magistrate. The same tribunal which, from the notorious existence of the former mischief, has been called the " hope of the London thieves," equally deserves, from the no less notorious existence of the latter, to be regarded as the terror of all those who, though free from crime, are not free from the curse of unscrupulous enemies. Look again at the practical testimony of all those who have had the closest opportunities of watching the working of this tribunal. There is not a functionary of any importance connected with the administration of the criminal law who has not repeatedly denounced this institution as it exists within the limits of the Metropolitan Police District as useless wherever it is not mischievous, and mischievous wherever it is not useless. These senti ments have been echoed by none more zealously than by those who are from time to time summoned to serve on Grand Juries. Surely this weight of practical testimony is more than sufficient to counter balance the vague ebullitions of gentlemen in quest of a grievance, who do not every day find such an oppor tunity for airing their patriotic sentiments as this sham defence of a supposed landmark of the constitution. We shall much regret if the Session closes before this Bill of Sir FREDERIC THEN'IGER'B pass into kw. FRANCE. THE ALLEGED PLOT AGAINST THE LIFE OF TIIE EMPEROR. TILE IMBROGLIO AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF THE CONSPIRATORS. [Continued from Yesterday's Irprats.] PARIS, THURSDAY EYRNING. Bartolotti was then interrogated. He persisted in the confession which he had already . made. It was Massarenti who put him in communication with Muesarenti came to him at York, and told him that Mozzud wanted to speak to him. Mae esrenti offered to pay the expenses of the journey. He came to London and saw Muslin with a Frenchman, who was stout and portly, and, he be lieved, wore moustache's. The Frenchman left almost directly, and Martini said to him " Adieu, Druollini," he le Neve& Ile did not know what business Martini and the Frenchman had together, for the latter left directly he ar rived, and Mattini said nothing to him in his presence. Ile had not already stated that a dis cussion took place between Martini and the French man as to the hour at which the Frenchman usually went out, but he had stated that when the French men had left Mazzini said, " 1 maintain that the Emperor goes out in the evening, but this Frenchman asserts that he does not ;" but he did not converse of that before him. This was the only occasion on which he saw the Frenchman in company with Martini. When the Frenchman had left, Martini said to h'in, " The Emperor of the French goes out every evening in a small low car riage. Vou must poet yourself near the Tuileries, and see what there is to be done." He went again to Martini's the next morning with Grilli and Massarenti. Me introduced Grilli to him, saying, " Here is your comrade, you will keep on the river side of the palace. it you lit,d a way to approach the Emperoi'a carriage and to strike him, strike him; if you do not find a way, you are free to depart." Mazzini directed him to go at Paris to the house of one Tibaldi. They were to say, "We are Italians. We conic from London." Mazzini gave him a password, but ho did not recollect it. lie did not offer him money, but he asked Massarenti for some, and he said he had not got any, but that Martini would have some in two or three days, and that he had received fifty , silver Napoleons in a puree. Ile did not see Grilli receive fifty Napoleons in gold. What they gave him was in a ports-monnair, and he could not see it ; but after they had dined together Grilli said " Let me pay, I have money." When they arrived in Paris and presented themselves at Tibaldi s, Ti baldi asked them where they 'had conic from, and what was the news in England. He took them to the Emperor's palace. They drank a bottle together. He took them to No. 53 in a street the name of which he did not recollect. Ile was not with Grilli when Tibaldi sent him poniards. He was some time absent from Paris. When he saw that there was no means of killing the Emperor he wished to leave Paris. Besides, he would never have killed the Emperor, and if the Emperor had been on foot close to him he would not have struck him. Ile recollected the letter, found on him since the arrest, of Massarenti. (The letter was here read by the President.) In a letter which he wrote to a legman atlYork, his promising to see her if he sur vived was a familiar mode of expression in his sountry—it meant " if he did not die," " if God gives me life." The President, addressing Tibaldi, here said : You see then, Tibaldi, that you received Grilli and Bartolotti; that you armed and guided them? To this Tibaldi replied—l have no knowledge of all that. The President—Why should they he ? They have no motive for revenge against you; what they declare is at their own expense as well as yours; besides the facts, the weapons found in your pos session singularly confirm their statements. Garet was then called. This witness is • tailor, at present detained in the prison of St. Pelagie, under sentence of four years' imprisonment, for taking part in a secret society. The President informed the jury that this witness was called to depoeo to facts which took place in 1853. The witness stated that he went to London in 1853, and saw Ledru Rollin, who asked him to remit a sum of 500 francs to a person whom he should point out. He was told that the person's name was Beaumont, and in formed of the day amid hour when he should sec him on the Place de la Madeleine. He paid the 500 francs to the person indicated. Ile knew him by a card which had been cut irregularly. lie had one of the pieces, and when this person presented the other he paid him the money. The President here stated that the personal whole the witness had just spoken would be aum nitalli Koelsk, who had been arrested, and had emilliensil that he had intended to assassinate the &wer. The examination of Koelsk, in January, 1855, balsa M. Nieme, the commissary of police, was then read. Koelsk stated that he had come to France with a project against the government. He thought that a change of government would be useful. He wiahed,at first, to kill the Emperor. At length he came to the eonchision that this project would be a misfortune for the country. He abandoned it, and was about to leave Paris when he was arrested. He had arrived at his determination to kill the Emperor without Mktg influenced by any one, but it turned to the elm as that entertained by the exiles among whom be was living, and Galy and Rozzini were given to . Mot as helpers. One Gourner had spoken of him to Ledru Rollin. lie never wrote to Ledru Rollin directly, but he may have mentioned his plane that they might be reported to him. He wished bin to know his plans, and had had occasion to = them to him. Ile denied having received lions from Italians. The President then read a letter of Signor Vigniere de la Booby to Signor Domolo and the de positions of the former before the juge d'instruction. The wife of Girot was then examined. She lived at 122, Rue Menilmontant. Tibaldi bad been for eighteen months at No. 122. lie was in London for three days in January, 1837. lie was not away for three weeks. She saw the portmanteau produced on his return from London. She had seen Merighi several years ago at No. 49, but not at No. 122. Tibaldi caused the portmanteau to be conveyed to the house of the woman Galibourg. became it was in his way in his room. He asked the woman Galibourg to take care of it for him for a fortnight. She did not know if it was Tibaldi's. She was out' when it arrived. She had twice written letters for I Tibaldi, who could not write French as well as he spoke it. She did not know the address of the letters. It was in English. She did not recollect the name of the person to whom they were ad dressed. She did not know the contents of the I travelling ease. Tibaldi told her it contained paper. and pamphlets. She paid no attention to its weight. Tibaldi asked for his trunk in the middle of May. The President then said—Weil, Tibaldi, you have heard the woman's evidence. It contradicts your I statement. Merighi never came to see you at No. 122. The portmanteau is at your house after your journey to London, and the woman recollects posi tively having written that letter at your dictation. Tibaldi—Merighi left the portmanteau with me in July, 1836. I did not know what it contained. He assured me that it contained papers and books of great importance. The President—But the letters which she wrote to your dictation, and which you addressed to Mas sarenti? Tibaldi—l did not dictate any letter to Madame Girot. President—But she has just declared the con- , trary. Tibaldi—She is mistaken. The witness stated in continuation that she had seen Grilli and Bartolotti come to Tibaldi's—the former more often. She did not recollect if Grilli came about the time when Tibaldi took back his trunk. The next witness was Madame Galibourg 122, Rua Menilmontant. She stated that M;idame Girot brought the trunk to her house in January. It was placed under her bed. Madame Girot trail her about 24 hours afterwards that it belonged to Tibaldi. M. Collin, commimary of police, stated that he marchedldi's quarters and found a carpet bag and two keys. A procqi rerbal was then read stating that Tibaldi had acknowledged that one of the kepi opened the portmanteau, and another as to tke *mare of two poniards smeared with a parti. cular substance. After some witnesses had been called who deposed to the rood character of Tibaldi, two previa rerbutcr, one of a chemist stating that the poniards seized were smeared with a vegetable substance, apparently bruised garlic, which, without being exactly pot_ venous, would produce wounds of a bad kind; the other, of the gunsmith who had examined the pistols seined, stating that they had been loaded by the same hand, and with wadding of the same The court then adjourned till the next day. PARIS„ FRIDAY EVENING. The trial of the Italian conspirators was not con cluded till six o'clock this evening. You will have learned by telegraph, that it resulted in a verdict of guilty against all three of the prisoners. Tibaldi is sentenced to transportation for life. The jury gave Bartolotti and Grilli the benefit of attenuating circumstances ; and therefore they are only sentenced to fifteen yearn' imprisonment. Owing to the lateness of the hour, I cannot send you a full report till to-morrow. The reason for the indulgence shown by the jury to the hired bravos is that they are supposed to be pitiful scoun drels who took blood money but never meant to earn their wages. The jury adopted the theory of the Procureur-General that Tibaldi was a political en thusiast, an earnest man, who was as important an agent of Mazzini in Paris as Maasarenti is in London. There was much to be said against Tibaldi's guilt, and M. Desmarets pleaded for him with an eloquence such as has not been heard in Franco for many years at any political trial. But if he were really guilty, if he were not the object of • mystification, it is quite clear that in his case there could be no extenuating circumstances. You are aware that there is no effective cross examination in France, and therefore, if there really be any foundation for the suggestion which the Procureur-Oeneml scornfully alluded to—that the plot was got up by the police—there was no means of sifting the testimony. The presiding judge con ducted the trial very fairly, and did not once in terrupt the counsel for the defence. The only serious defence was necessarily that made for Tibaldi. The counsel for the two scoundrels, Bartolotti and Grilli, who bad confessed, could only plead that their clients were very scurvy, cowardly villains, without heart to use either pistol or poniard. M. Desmarets made a brilliant reply, which will probably be much talked of, in which he resented with a passion which communicated itself to the audience the accu sation against Ledru Rollin, which does not rest upon a shadow of creditable evidence—upon nothing whatever, indeed, but a vague citation of a name something like his, by the. wretch ltartolotti. ' This man,contradicting so far the acts &accusation, said in court that the person whom he calls Rodrone Rollinc went away before Mazzini spoke a word to him of tlw project. The trial of Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, Massareoti, and Campanella (by default), will not come on for a month.

By the French packet from Alexandria, we have received news from that place to the 27th, but up to the time of her leaving the European steamer from Atuixalia had not arrived. She was looked for with anxiety, as it was expected she would bring a few days' later news from India picked up at Ceylon. Others were of opinion that the Aden would ar rive from Bombay before the European from Ass• A high Turkish functionary, who passed through Malta a few days ago, stated that permission had been granted by the Sultan for English troops to pass through Egypt, and that this information had been conveyed to Sir Colin Campbell ere ho passed through on his road to India. The difficulty would be to obtain transports from Suez, and it is doubted by many whether the troops bad not better be sent in steamers from the Mediterranean via the Cape. Lord Lyon& squadron of screws would convey a very strong reinforcement, and the troops at Malta are in first-rate order. On the 28th the steamer Dutchman, from Corfu, arrived with part of the 68th, and drafts from the 3rd Buffs and 46th Regiments, en route for England. The steamer coaled, and went on next day. On the 30th the Cambria arrived from Marseilles to wait for the mails expected from Australia. The Indus, with the India mails, via Gibraltar, arrived on the 30th. RUSSIA IN ASIA. The Nord says :—" Several foreign journals have recently spoken of a descent %Lich the Russians are said to have attempted on the southern bank of the Caspian Sea, forming part of the Russian territory. Accounts from St. Petersburg explain this fact and place the affair in its true light. The Persian pro vince of Astrabad is infested by hordes of Tares mans, who do not confine themselves to pillage, hat even carry off men and condemn them to slaverf. Among others a Russian courier fell into their hands. In conse9uence the Russian commandant Cl the maritime station of Astrabad attacked and took possession of the stronghold of these brigands, roughly chastised them, and delivered the prisonew, among whom were several Russian and Persian eubjects."
