LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 6. Moms of the present liking for the Emperor NA POLEON, which numbers of Englishmen, especially travelling Englishmen, feel, without any reference to the origin, the nature, or the conditions of his government, is undoubtedly dne to the Escmores evident friendly good-will towards the nation and society in the midst of which some of the best years of his own life were spent. Not that, as all the world knows, he is the first French sove reign (nor in all probability the last) who has been among us as a private gentleman before ascending a throne. But it so happens that during his resi dence in the parish of St. James', the Prince NAPO LEON was by his tastes, his habits, and his intimacies, familiarly acquainted with a larger variety of " life," and particularly of what is called " life in London," than his illustrious predecessors and followers in exile have encountered. Club life, military life, sporting life, theatrical life, literary life, refugee life—in all of these, and some more, the Patric; in whose high future few but himself believed, except as they might believe in the chances of a comet, moved easily, silently, observantly, and made friends, and left well wishers behind, whose kindly recollections are not likely to be chilled by a reverse of fortune so surpriaing as the Second Empire. Nor has the Emperor of the FRENCH hesitated to turn to the best account his varied and peculiar English experiences. While as ruler, as chief of a dynasty and of the State, he has with singular sagacity contrived to make a pedestal of English policy and a lever of English power ; while he has at once sought and practised the English alliance, and shown himself prepared to act with out it, or even against it, whenever he had a policy of his own to carry out, or French prejudices and interests to consult exclusively, he has lost no occa sion of manifesting the frankest and most decided personal preference for English life and manners, he has made English visitors welcome to his capital, and at home there, by all manner of gracious attentions and hospitalities, and, more than any other French sovereign, he has, by the summary abolition of absurd restrictions, promoted and facilitated to the utmost of his power the daily increasing intercourse between the popula tions of the two countries. It may, no doubt, be said that under any other government the inter course between France and England must have become cheaper, speedier, and therefore more habitual and more popular, by the mere opera tion of the railway and telegraphic system, and that passports were doomed when the journey from London to Paris became an affair of ten hours and a half. We are not so sure of this. In a country so centralized, so enmeshed in forms and regulation., so functionarised and gendarmed as France it needed perhaps the commanding will of a government unhampered by interested mino rities to bring into operation the conquests of com mon sense and the victories of science and pro gress. It may be doubted whether M. Tulsa; for example, would have released Englishmen from passports ; we know he would have been tha but of statesmen to throw open the porta of France to English industry and commerce. What ever may be the immediate balance of results as between France and England of the commercial treaty, there is no gainsaying the fact that it was a master stroke of Imperial policy. It took the authoritative public opinion of England by storm ; drew away attention from the foreign and do mestic policy of the Second Empire ; silenced a host of pohtical objectors to institutions most re pugnant to English freedom ; and fairly bound over the two great neighbouring Powers to keep the peace, in spite of mutual jealousies and misunder standings. But it is not so much to acts of public policy that we refer at this moment in estimating what the Emperor of the Frizaien has done, by virtue, we believe, of his English predilections and asso ciations, to make the people of the two countries know each other better, not only through increas ing business relations, but by the adoption and naturalization of English manly sports. Twenty years ago and more there were races in France— so select, so innocent, so ingenuously earnest and self-conscious in their conduct and management, that they looked like • fancy fair, or • picnic on horseback, or the theatrical represent►tion of a real racecourse. No Englishmen ever thought of crossing the water to "moist at" such harmless recreations ; and very few Frenchmen went out of their way to see an eccentric English lord win a few small prizes from • few humble French followers in • succesaion of canters. Twenty or thirty French gentlemen took seriously to the Turf, and made a dreadful business of learning how to dress like grooms and to talk like trainers. But there was no racing " world " even in Paris ; and as for the French public, they knew about as much of horse•racing as of cricket, or as English ladies do of the manoeuvres of • yacht match. la the last years of Loom Piimirre the taste for "sport " had grown into a study or pursuit among not leas than fifty or sixty aspiring young Frenchmen in advance of their age, and was beginning to be cultivated in the principal provincial towns. But it was culti vated as an exotic, and admired like green peas and strawberries in December. To NAPOLEON 111. belongs all the glory of having made the Turf, as we have it in England, something like an institu tion in France. His knowledge of horseflesh, acquired in England, and his capacity to (as the owner of Blink Bonny can bear witness), and utterly unconnected with what our neigh bours would call the " nationality " of the winner. It is certainly to be regretted that on the eve of the great meeting in Paris the French official prints should have gratuitously elevated a vulgar fracas of some honest gentlemen of the Ring, who con sidered themselves sold, to the proportions of an international outrage. Had Fills de l'Air been bred, trained, and owned in England there I would have been the lame astonishment and dissatisfaction at the contrast between her performances at Newmarket and at Epsom. No doubt it was all fair and square enough, and the mare's owner and trainer could explain if they would how and why she was distanced for the Two Thousand, and had it all to herself for the Oaks ; why it was thought expedient to secure a gang of professional pugilist. to attend her and her jockey on their arrival at the post, and why the Jockey Club in Paris was so " precipitately " illuminated on the evening of the race. These question., to our thinking, are easily and satisfactorily answered without a shadow of imputation on anybody'scharacter. Astotheilln mination of the Jockey Club at Paris, what could be more /tail/ or more natural than such a celebration of such a victory f The best of the joke is that all these French animals who come to snatch away the honours of the English turf are in all but the accident of birth and ownership English, or Irish, animals. Their blood, dam and sire, is English, their trainers are English, their riders are English. So that national suscep tibility has really as little as possible to do with their victories or their defeats. It was tolerably absurd that England and America should celebrate the fight between an Englishman and an Irishman once removed as an "international " contest between the Old World and the New ; but that a race between an English horse and an Irish mare, bred in France but trained and ridden by an Englishman, should be called an international affair is scarcely less ridiculous. The Turf, that is, the Ring, is cosmopolitan ; only all the animals, and almost all the trainers and riders, are English ; and no one on this side of the water will regret to find our Imperial neighbours making up for lost time by bettering our instructions, and carrying a new sort of Credit Mobilier from Newmarket to Epsom, and from Epsom to Long champs. ne Qrourt.

During the whole period I can conscien tiously say that the desire of the British government, of my predeoesson, sad myself, has been to 'forward by every possible means the interests of the foals& peopirs. I can look back with satisfaction on the eodeavotirs re peatedly made by tit* British goverement to seised to the Toulon States those free institutions which have created the welfare of Eogland, on the material prosperity of theta islands, which is far in advance of any neighbouring country, on the institutions which have been founded, on the made, bridges, harboun, lighthouses, and other publie works which have been established and maintained, on Um order which has almost invariably been preserved in times of general agitation, on a flourishing commerce effectively protected both at home nod abroad, on the comparatively mall amount of the publiclidebt, and on a light taxation.

His excellency having acknowledged the remarks of the Vice-President, the proceedings terminated. TURKEY. The Lerant Herold of the 25th ult. says :—" The uneasiness which existe in Servia, and the agitated condition of the Dennbian Principalities, together with the military movements which other Powers are making upon the frontiers which border those provinces, have rendered it imperative upon the Turkish government to take the requisite precau tions to maintain order in these directions, and to sustain the legitimate rights and influence of Ottoman authority. A large body of troops leave, in consequence, to-day, the camp at Mash& to be concentrated at Ridden. This force consists of six battalions of infantry, two battalions of rifles, two battalions of redifs, a regiment of cavalry, and a battery of artillery. Pressing orders have also been forwarded to different districts, for the immediate despatch of the fedi/ contingents to Constantinople. It is but reasonable that the Turkish government should be prepared at those points where the clouds are gathering." THE INSURRECTION IN ALGERIA. The Paris Temps of to dial , has a loos article upon the troubles of Algeria. The writer, after giving • summary of the recent events, says : "It is impossible to attribute to the movement the character of a general insurrection, since at the end of six weeks it has not left the Aghalik where it first broke out. Not the least connexion can be established between the events of the Oramois Sahara and the Tunisian revolution, since the province of Constantine, which borders on Tunisia, has not ceased to enjoy the most per fect calm. In fact, the troubles have for theirtheatre the extreme frontiers of the Sahara--that is to say, a zone to which Europeans go but accidentally, and where the difficulty is not of vanquishing the enemy, but of reaching him, a circumstance which sufficiently explains the duration of the troubles." (moTs's PARIS, Joys 6, Yournra, The Moniteur of this morning says :—" A por tion of the tribes of Djebel Amour have been com pelled to ask quarter of General Jusnf, which, thanks to the humanity of our officers, was granted. A fresh defeat has been sustained by the insurgents of the province of Oram. French coltimns are ad vancing from all sides against the principal centres of resistanoe.

The first anniversary of the race for the great Paris prize of 100,000 fr. has gone off with even greater eclat, and certainly much more excitement, than the original day. Racing in France has made rapid strides (not to make a pun) within the last year. The attendance of the French aristocracy was far greater than I have seen on any former oc casion. The display of ladies' toilettes on the Grand Stand and in the rows of chairs in front of it was worthy of Ascot in its beat days ; and, indeed, considering the admitted superiority of French dressmakers, it may be fairly said to have been even more dazzling. The Emperor and Empress, attended by numerous members of the court, appeared in the imperial tribune just before the Grand Prize was run for. • The public took no interest in the other races, and, as I do not belong to the sporting world, I shall say nothing about them. In the betting ring, called the Enciente du Pesage, where the horses are led round before being saddled, the competitors for the Grand Prize were scrutinised with the most intense curi osity. " Where is Blair Athol ?' " Which is File de l'Air r rang upon one's ears every mo ment. It is no wonder that the interest in this race should have been so exciting, for I think it not too much to say that it is the most important one that was ever run from the beginning of the world to this day. I have not present, to my recollec tion, the greatest congress of winners which may possibly have been at some time united at Don caster, but I much doubt whether there ever was such an interesting contest on any turf as one in which the winner of the Derby, the , winner of the Oaks, and the winner of the French Derby, all competed, and were all, moreover, beaten by a French outsider. Blair Athol was the general favourite in the ring. Fills de l'Air, whose light ethereal form is singularly appropriate to her name, was thought not strong enough to run against the symmetrical chesnut horse with the staring white face. Every body, however, was of opinion that the race lay between those two. A few inclined towards M. De lamarre's Bois-Roussel, who was the winner of the Derby at Chantilly ; but nobody (unless, indeed, there may have been very knowing ones who kept their opinions snugly to themselves) thought at all about the horse which actually won. I cannot describe the places of the horses round the course, for I only saw them start and come in. There were 120 entries ; but, so great was the dread of Blair Athol and Fills de l'Air, that only five started. These were Mr. I'Anson's Blair Athol, Count Lagrange's File de l'Air, Baron Rothschild's Baronello, and M. Delamarre's two horses—Bois-Rot:mei and Vermut. The latter, the only one of the five not dreamt of, was the winner. He came in easily two or three lengths in front, Blair Athol, apparently much distressed, was second, and Mlle de l'Air third. Bois-Roussel and Baronello were nowhere. Stich a shout of delight, mingled with immense surprise, as I never heard before, greeted the victory of the French horse. The Emperor, who be fore bad looked singularly apathetic, and had scarcely spoken to anyone about him, rose , from his seat and exhibited an outburst of enthusiasm such as I never before saw or heard of from him. He laughed most heartily, shook him self in paroxysms of delight, and nodded to every one of the crowd below him as if he had been hail ing a personal acquaintance. The people in the Sneiente du Pesage passed before the Emperor in sections cheering vociferously, and some people 'threw their hats up in the air twenty yards high. The weather was most beautiful, and the ground, softened by Friday's rain, in capital order. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY, JITNII I. S A.K. IL ,T.

The point whioh be bad reached was a consideratioe of the °or respoodenes betimes the parties and other evideem in the raw. -Reiser* to the allegation of the reepondeet, that she was the daughter of Thew Lumararth, Seq., of Smedley Park, Lanotabire, a gentleman of ancient family and of large property, he adduced the proof of now Glover and finial Kershaw and ethers, who deposed that, although there was a place called Smedley, at Cheatham, near Manchester, yet there was no Smalley Park, and that Mr. Losgwarth, though a men of some meths, was act what be was represented by the re soundest. Other proofs were examined by the learned counsel to show the status of the respondent's family, the object being to prove that the importance had been overrated by her. Amongst other Warp, it was shown that one of her brothers war a tailor. The leder tin from this evidence wars that the facts rendered it lass probable that the appellant knowing this could have entertained Mintier; of marrrieg the respondeet. Ad verting to the period which elapsed between the fiat meeting of the parties on board the steamer and their second meeting in the Crimea, and daring which time a long correspoodence ensued between them, and drawing attention to the letters, their object end chweer, be argued that the first part of that correspond ence did not contain any promise of thy marriage, yet it was alleged that they contained an honourable intercommunication which might be construed into courtship leading to marriage. The first letter written by the respondent which opened the oorrespoed- Hines had been lost, and the answer of the ap pellant, dated Melte, March 22, 1853, was the first adverted to, and contained nothing particular, it being chiefly one of introduction of a friend of his. The next was also from the appellant, and the main point in it was allusion to their meeting on board the steamer, when he liked her coaversatiou so much that he wanted to know her better. The lady's font letter was dated from Naples, June 22, 1853, and contained references to the friend to whom the appellant had intro duced her, and his opinion of her, and inquires when be would leave Malta. In the next letter from the appellant he addraned her es " My dear Thew," sod that was fol lowed by a reply on the 20th of August ; this and several subsequent ones showing increasing familiarity and almost confidence. She uses the expression, "If be wee going shooting in Albaais, perhaps she might have bees so kind as to offer herself ea bis escort, been very polite, and given him a pert of her plaidie, if he bad been very good as she was!" In subsequent letters she makes allusious to • supposition of hers that he is engaged, and intimates that she does not believe that be was very maceptible of the tender melee. To this he replied that he had no such engagement, that he does not understand the word " love" in her seem of it—that is, "sentiment," and that he is rely ,fiaire to an "arm chair at the United Service Club." The object of the production and dwelling on these points by the learned counsel was to make out that part of his ow in which he relied on the fact that the lady was anxious to obtain a promise of marriage from the appellant, end that he systematically repudiated any notate of marriage with the respondent, or, indeed, with anyooe else.

The plaintiff is a lodgieg-house keeper is Chutelt.row, and the present action was brought to reco►er a sum of money for the board, lodging, clothing, and school ing of a child under the following circumstances : In the year 1850. a physician called upon the plaintiff, and took lodgiage for • lady w►o was coming up to town to be cooked, and • few days after the defer/dealt again called apes Mts.

The lady was brought to the home and confined et a girL The third day of bet ocuieensist the lady said she bad to go into the country to see her relatives, and she lets is a cab and had not bean seen since. The defendant, how ever :made an arrangement with the plaintiff to keep the child at 6e per week. In 1852 the defend►nt called upon the plainUff, and informed her he was goin to Australia. but he would remit the costa of the child's mniuteuance through • physician. The child had remained with the plaintiff up to this time, and she now claimed to be paid the balance of eleven years' board, lodging, and clothing, and four years schooling. Air. Wood and Mr. C. A.

Williams arid Mr. Harry Pallier for the defendant. l'be learned judge interposed before the plaintiff% are was concluded, and surgested an arrangement, which wee seceded to, nod a verdict wan khan by consent fur the plaintiff for 991. 10s. This timed these sittings. The Julie series of the above court was opened this morning baler, the Common fierMant, Aldermen Sir R. Carden, Sir F. G. Moon, Phillips, and Lusk ; Mr. Sheriff Nissen, Mr. Sheriff Cave, Mrs Under Sheriff Nicholson, Mr. Under Sheriff Gammon, tcc. There are 83 prisoners for trial at this scission, but the greeter portion of the charges are of an ordinary character. One et the gent/ernes summated ou the grand jury objected to serve oe the ground that he had a conscientious objection to take an oath under any oircumet•uoes. Is answer to questions put by Sir H. Carden the gentle. man stated that he was aware that he could not claim any legal ground of exemption on account of belonging to any particular religious sect, and he claimed it merely as a matter of favour. Sir R. Carden asked what coarse he would take sup. posing be should be obliged to being an action spinet any One. He replied that he always settled any dispute of this oaten without going to law. He should not take an oath wader any circumstances. Sir R. Carden observed that if he were a witness in a case of murder. he would be compelled to give his evidence upon oath, or else would be committed. The gentlemse said that he had no desire to evade the performance of his public duties, and he bad on various occasions been excused from taking an oath. Sir M. Carden said that if such claims as the present were to be frequent. it might muse • good deal of inoonvenieoce. They were, however, very rare, and, under the einem etanoes, he should admit the excuse. Another juror was thee sworn, and the grand jury retired. The Common Serjeent, in his charge to the grand jury, said he was happy to inform them that there were not more prisoners for trial than would have been expected, coe• sidering that an interval of five weeks had elapsed since the last session. He was also glad to be able to state that, from having for the pest few veers watched the Mate of mime, this showed a very satisfactory elate of things, and that, taking into consideration the very great increase in the pops. beim, and a like increase in property, and the consequent increase is temptation, criminal offences did not increase in the like proportion ; indeed, as regarded juvenile •ffenders, the Lumber during the last three or four years had decreased at least two-thirds, which would, no doubt, be accounted for by the exertions which Were being made by philanthropic persons in taking charge of abandoned children. He was Berry to see, however, that bee of the charges involved the Ices of human life, and one assumed the more serious charge of murder, and the other four are for the milder offence of manslaughter ; and be *cold not help noticing, with regret, that, em usual in most of the asses of violence that came before the court, they resulted from the effects of drink. With regard to the come of murder, the prisoner and the &ceased had bad • quarrel in • public-house, and deceased went up to the prisoner in • fighting attitude, but it did sot appear whether or not he struck him. However, the pri soner, who had • knife in his haod, made a rush at damaged I and stabbed him in the abdomen, and be died three weeks afterwards from the effects dare wound. If the fads were established, be thought it was prima facie of murder, arid wield rather be foe the petty jury to consider more a:l -ustily whether there was anything that would justify the shags being reduced to niasslaughter. The Common Ser- MLitt then alluded to the charges of manslaughter, and remarked that Dearly all of them appeared to have been committed while the passions of the accused were inflamed by drink. In conclusion, he alluded to • caw in which the captain of a vessel was charged with embezzling 4,0001. belonging to his employers. The prisoner, it appeared, reoeived the money abroad, and ought to have at once accounted for it and remitted it to the owners of the veineL Insteadof doing so, however, he came to Blighted with the money, which he deposits I, some in one bask and some is another, in his own name. The prosecutors, hearing of the fact of his ...rival in Eag land, massed him to be apprehended, and his statement was that he bed invested the mosey for security while he fool ishly went about to see his friends, instead of going directly with it to the owner& The question, therefore, would be whether or not the prisoner hd any felonious intent when he invested the mosey, or whether it woe, as he bad stated, • mere matter of negligence. The court then proceeded with the business of the se too. Wee. Heath, a respectable-looking man, pleaded guilty to • charge of embezzling moos,' belonging to Mr. Edwards, the proprietor of the Bedding News. The prisoner, it appeared, had been two months in gaol, and he appeared to have lean under the impression that be was liable civilly to Mr. Edwards for the money.
