(rstox ors owx coalisromixt.) PARIS, TurmanAT 2,114=0. The "Public Safety" Bill came on for discussion in the Corps Legislatif to-day. M. Emile 011ivier, the member for Paris, opened the debate in an admirable speech, of which, owing to the impediments placed in the way of reporting, I am only able to send you the following very imperfect sketch, which is, however, accurate as far as it goes : In rising to ask—l will rather my to implore—you to reject the proposed law, I am not acting in the spirit of party,lint simply as an honest man. I desire not to serve the Omani minden of a day, but the eternal parks kr what Is just and right. I propose to attack no one, I wish only to render the horsey due to the only legitimate sovereign in the world, to use an expreadon of Mir beau,—Right. I am cot speaking to those out of doors. I speak to you, members of this house, and I add, remembering an eloquent expression used In my bureau, that I do not address you without hope. My first objection to this law is that it is based upon a false pretence. The attempt on the Emperor's life was frustrated by Providence, and lam grateful for the mercy. The fate of nations can no more be influenced by the assassin than it can by the executioner. Bat this crime ' as you have been told by everybody, was conceived in • foreign country, committed by foreigners, and inspired by the resentment of foreigners—it was not a French crime. The second reproach that I make to the law is that it violates all the principles that cdvilleed nations are agreed to consider as of the memos of sound penal legislation. In the first place, the bill violates the principle of the separation of powers. Montesquieu tells as that the judicial power should always be separated from the executive power, for otherwise "the judge might be come an oppressor." This bill leaves the fortune and liberty of citizens at the mercy of three agents of the exe cutive. Second, bagasse this new tribunal all those forms which even the most hasty JuMies cannot dispense with will disappear. No examination of the accused, no confronta tion with the witnesses, no defence, no discussion, no publicity. The Minister of the Interior will be at ones the accuser, the defender, and the judge. Third, every penal law ought clearly to define the offence. A law that hula in this particular Is no law. Instead of being a guarantee, it becomes • standing menace and • con venient means of oppression. All peoples have, in all time, preferred • precise law, however severe, to the mildest pos sible law that is uncertain. Every clause in this bill is vague, and susceptible of the most extravagant interpreta tions. It punishes those who " excite publicly in any way whatever ;" those who practise manoeuvres, or keep up fa telligenoe abroad; and exiles those against whom there are any "grave facie." Fourth, a leading principle of law is that no one can be punished a second limo for an offence that he has expiated. This principle is violated by subjecting to transportation those who were condemned in 1848, 1849, and 1831, and who have undergone their sen tences. Fifth, it does more, for it operates against persons retro-actively. It will be attempted to deny this position, because It is said that new "grave facts" must be established against them. But you will not be entrapped by this quibble. What is meant by a "grave fact f" It mans nothing certain, but simply something which, 'wording to circumstances, may be deemed to be such by those in power. (The hon. member hare cited a striking maws from Portal's, condemning retroactive laws, and • report of the debate in the Convention showing that that body, in the very worst times, bad refused to vote a law of that character.) No law (he continued) had ever been proposed which violated BO many fundamental prin ciples. It had produced such a panic in the country, thee the reporter had felt the necessity of reassuring the public mind. They were told the law was only meant to attack red republican socialists and enemies of order. But who could be sure that he might not be obnoxious to its provi sions t When Denton established the revolutionary tribunal, he thought he was clearly comprised in the exception ; but shortly afterwards his own head fell on the scaffold. There were already laws of ample severity against members of secret societies. The truth was that the present law was only found insufficient against those who did not conspire, bat who were said to live in a state of "culpable expectation." The word suspects was repudiated, bat this totally new word "expectant" was equally terrible. These " ex pectants," who were to be transported, lived by their la bour, and transportation to many of them would be tents. mount to a sentence to misery and death. (Here Y. 0111- vier enumerated • number of trivial offences which would bring citizens into the category of persona liable to be transported without trial.) Politics should always be sub ordinate to morality. " You have governed this country for. nine years. You are at peace with all the world. Yon have an Immense army, an able police, an enor mous budget, strategetical roads through your capi tal, and fortresses at all convenient pleas." No liberty exists. The greatest of all—that of the prese— ts annihilated; and yet you come to ask for laws of "public safety." Do you not fear that the country may say, " I have sacrificed to you my liberty, my franchisee, my tra ditions, the conquests of my blood—all that has made me glorious among nations—for the sake of a little tranquillity; and you now ask for more. Where will you stop r The Courtier du Harre contains a letter from Bourges, which says :—" Numerous arrests have just taken place in the Cher and the Yonne.

(From the Bombay Telegraph and Cburier of January 23.) On the Mhow and Indore aide the rebels are being summarily disposed of, as the subjoined letter will chew . " Sir Robert Hamilton is now at Sehore, and evidently in tends proceeding up the country with' Sir Hugh Roos. A Brigade, composed of portions of ll.M.'s 14th, the 3rd European', Artillery, &0., remain at Indore under the com mand of the ga ll ant Brig adier Steuart, and will not leave until the arrival of fresh instructions from Bombay. This, I believe, is owing to the unsatisfactory conduct of the Barber. Several of the mutineers have been executed; end the 14th shoot them down from the trees exactly as they would do a lot of pea-fowl. The road from Indore to Sehore is very quiet, and a single traveller might travel up without any apprehension of being molested. Major- Oenerel Sir Hugh Rom, who, by the bye, is a hardy, salve, and venerable officer, and seems determined, notwithstand ing the sixteen medals he already wears, to earn • wreath of laurels in the present expedition, is now at Sehore on his way to &mot, where he intends attacking two or three forts, at present in the pooreenon of the insurgents. He has with him a portion of the 14th Dragoons, Horse and Foot Artillery, the 3rd Europeans, the 24th N. 1., and some Cavalry of the Hydrabad Contingent. The only thing that delays his leaving is the trial of the mutineers who composed the Bhopal Contingent which was disarmed the other day by Major Mayne, the officer now employed in organising a body of Irregular Cavalry. One hundred and forty-nine of the rebel Sepoys were tried by court-martial during the day, and sentwoed to be shot. Ac cordingly, about five, the troop' in the camp marched out to a plain about two miles away, and after being drawn up in square, Brigadier Steuart read the proceedings of the court, and the sentence. The prisoners were then marched up, by the 14th agoons, and a little after guar ded dark cannot account for the delay) the 3rd Europeans, 160 in number, fired at them. Prior to this, we could distinctly hear the wretched &goys moaning and call ing on "Allah," &a. One or two did not happen to receive the shot at that, and took to their keels. However, the 14th very won overtook and finished them. Captain Wood, our excellent deputy-adjutant-general, recommended that their clothes should be put on fire, in order to prove whether or not life was extinct. While this was doing, it was most awfully impressive to hear the Dragoon', as they probed with their avenging blades the hearts of the traitors in whom life still existed. "Remember Cawnpore, you brutes." Captain Rose's horse was unfortunately shot by some mistake. While writing this I have heard firing in the direction of the ground where the mutineers are encamped, guarded by the 3rd Europeans and 24th regiment Native Infantry. The general immediately ordered the Dragoons to turn out in pursuit. Several were shot down in the attempt to free themselves, but many have escaped ; so the 14th will have a fine night's work. There are Wween two and three hun dred of them, and the general, I believe, will await their trial and execution before he leaves." et* Oxpreol4 __ _ _ ieertlemeeis "The - Irpreee,' lowan buys p ow . nut he et the Odle% le. lemerleatrest.

Oa Tesoftv--/kofts, O. 5a..........ftW00ft ft. 210. LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19. BY a majority of 318 to 173 the Howe of Com mons have declared that they will not be so impolite as to refuse to discuss the merits of Lord PALM ER sroN's Bill for revolutionising the Government of India. This majority affords no indication of what may be the result of the debate on the second spad ing. Much more weighty arguments than any that have yet been adduced will be required to per suade the House to sanction the principle of the measure—if principle it can be said to have. We do no t that it is alleged against the Double, or rather, as we agree with Sir C. Woon it is better styled, the Mixed Government of the East India Company and the Board of Control, that the principle upon which it is founded is de fective. If it be, our own vaunted constitution is also radically bad. The principle of the Mixed Go vernment is a principle of equipoise—of counter action. It is the principle which all Englishmen believe to be the very life of their own " glorious Constitution." What would be thought of the Statesmen who were to propose to destroy this Con stitution because its two-fold, or rather its three-fold, character is necessarily provocative of delays ? The absurdity of striking at the vital principle on account of certain presumed cuticular defects, must be patent to every man of ordinary understanding. We hare assuredly no precedent for it in the history of our national legislation. The worst feature of this contemplated revolution is its tendency towards despotism. Whilst in all matters of domestic, and, indeed, of colonial govern ment, we are extending the popular element, we are here proposing not merely its limitation, but its ab solute exclusion from the new Anglo-Indian Con stitution. Let us admit for the sake of argu ment that the present constituency is bad. Englishmen are not wont, when they are awakened to a sense of the defectiveness of their represetitative system, to declare that they will ab o li s h it alt4ither and fall back upon a pug despotism. In such a case they proceed in a wholly opposite direction. They improve their constituencies by enlarging them. They do not say that they will have no constituen cies—that they will leave it to the Minister of the day to nominate his own parliament. Bat this is what we are now called upon to do. This is what a quasi -Liberal Government is recom mending to the country. As Colonel SYKEs well put the point, how will the country, now clamorous for the extension of the elective franchise, stultify itself by consenting to abandon India to the caprices of a despotic Minister, whose chief qualification for office, in all probability, will be that he knows nothing about India, and cares for it only so far as it affects his ability to keep himself in office, and to serve his aristocratic friends? ALL along the Channel coasts of France there are towns—Boulogne, for example, or Dieppe, or St. Malo—which are as much frequented by English visitors and residents as Brighton or Torquay. Some resort thither in search of health ; others because the locality attracts them ; others for the education of their children ; and others for reasons upon which there is no need for dilating. A number of English children are sent to the private schools, or municipal colleges, of Boulogne, Dieppe, and Havre, and pro bably of other French coast towns. Many inter marriages have taken place between members of French and English families thus brought into contact. A natural consequence of this state of affairs is, that flying visits are interchanged between friends on this side of the water and their French or English friends on the opposite side of the Channel, with as much impromptu and frequency as to Eastbourne, Mar gate, or the Isle of Wight. Visitors of this class have not for many years been required to provide themselves with passports at the Foreign office, and to have them riel at the French Consulate before they ventured to cross from Folkestone or Dover to Boulogne or Calais Their declaration at the Donane on landing that they did not intend to proceed to the interior has exempted them from the necessity of producing passports. But a Foreign-office Notice which ap pears in our issue of to-day informs us that this free and easy intercourse has come to an end. From this time forward Master JACKIE and Miss LIZZIE mu-t furnish themselves with passport', and have them duly rise on going to and returning from school. Mamma or papa cannot take a run across to see how " Pet" is getting on without getting their pamports rise at the French Consulate. Our respected egg merchant must have his papers en rigle when ever he pays a visit to the farmers in the suburbs of Boulogne or Calais, from whose poultry-yards he obtains his stock in trade. The Emperor of the FRENCH has been thrown into such a state of funk that he trembles lest conspira tors should be smuggled into France in the disguise of boarding-school misses. From a recent investigation at Bow-street, it would appear that the French Ambassador is in the habit of re ceiving information from railway clerks respecting the parcels booked for France. Of course any box pur porting to contain " cakes and pastry " which is of suspicious weight will be duly reported to his Ex cellency, its departure telegraphed to the French polioe, and the box opened at the Donane—perhaps the contents seised, se is sometimes the case with the Repress.

Mains at NW Priam at Guildhall. Won Lord Campbell sad a Special Jury.) ROYAL BRITISH BANK. sixTE DAY. VIZ QUIRK 0. HUMPHREY BROWN, EDWARD ESDAILI, HENRY DUNNING YACLSOD, RICHARD HARTLEY LEN. WADY, ISTLLIAM DANIEL OWIDI, JOHN STAPLETON, AND HUOH INNER CAMERON. At the sitting of the court this morning, The first witness examined to-day wee Mr. Crawford, who in reply to Mr. James, said it was usual that Directors should sign notes which were discounted, and that the bills discounted for Mr. Cameron did not bear any signature. Mr. Anderson_, examined by Mr. Welsby, gave a list of some of Esdaile's bills, which were discounted by the bank and renewed from fine to time. They were placed to the debit of Mr. Cameron's discount account. The witnees also said that in January, 1854, an advance of 3,4781. was made to Mr. Cameron in convertible securities. On the 31st of December, 1855, the bill he gave for that amount was taken op—that was just before the half-yearly balance was aback. There was a bill of that date, drawn by Mr. Cameron, on the National Bank of Scotland, for 3,5001., at twenty-one days. It was discounted by the bank, and the amount placed to Cameron's account with the British Bank. Witness re ceived the bill from the accountant, Mr. Crawford ; but it was not entered in the put due bill book, Mr. Craw ford having told him to put it among the warranty bill.. It remained among those as a current bill until the close of the bank. During the whole of that period it remained to the debit of Mr. Cameron. The gross amount of the balance due on his discount account at the end of 1854 was 15,3961. The entry of the balance on the 31st Decem ber, 1854 um made by Mr. Thomas Cameron, the son of the defendant. Mr. Thomas Cameron, who was here called, stated that the entry was In his handwriting. Mr. Crawford re-called—Thebalance due by Mr. Cameron at the end of 1866, tacludiag the bill for 3,6001., was 19,1461., and it remained the same at the close of the bank. Cron-ezaminid by Mr. Boydl—The bill of 3,5001. origi nated first in 1862. Mr. Anderson examined by Mr. James—Now of the bills handed to me are signed by the directors for discount. There are no initials upon them, and they were not put in the past due bill book. They were recorded in the regieter of the bills discounted. I cannot eay whether, when Mr. Bedell° became governor, he complained about these bills. The entries do not ahow by whose authority they were discounted. They appear in the diary which I kept. That book was never taken into the directors room. _ _ By Mr. D. Seymour. —Mr7eameron's bills were treated es other bills were. There was no mystery about them. Mr. Crawford, examined by Mr. Brown—When I became accountant, bills for 7,0001. were entered to Mr. Cameron's debit, and they continued to his debit until the ekes of the bank. I charged no interest on them, because I we. told by my predecessor that they represented original shares in the BanL Mr. Cameron afterwards confirmed that and said that the dividend was to be set against the interest. Besides a discount account, Mr. Cameron bad a drawing and • cash credit account. The balance of Mr. Cameron's drawing account at the end of 1864, was a debit of 20;1.16a. The balance of his cash credit account at the same period was a sum of 3,1731. 12e. Bd. against him. He had also a convertible se curities account. On 18th January, 1854, there was a sum entered in that account of 3,4781. There was a balance due by Mr. Cameron on his different accounts at the end of 1854, of 22 , 2561. The winter wee then examined at considerable length with regard to the minor details of Mr. Cameron's different accounts. He said that at the end of 1844 Mr. Cameron was the holder of 61 shares to the bank, and that there were bills against him to the amount of 10,6001., which would represent 212 shares. When Mr. Cameron was absent from illness at the beginning of 1856 Mr. Esdeile, the governor, looked into his account, and said to witness, " Surely these notes represent a great many more shares than those standing in Mr. Cameron's mime." The " green-book" was at this time acoessible to Mr. Esdaile, who occupied Mr. Cameron's room during his illness, and to a great extent took his place. Mr. Cameron, after he returned to the bank in June, 1856, said to witness, " The directors are pressing me to give back 1,0001. of my salary, but I must make them recoup me." He added that it would not do to reduce the expenditure. Cross-examined by Mr. James—l think it is possible Mr. Esdaile never saw the bills which Mr. Cameron gave for the original shares until March, 1855, when we went over his account together. With the ex ception of a 6001. note discovered among Mr. Cameron's papers, Eadalle never had a farthing in the way of accommodation from the bank, andon the 22nd of March he paid by cheque 6141. 16a. 10d for the note and interest. I believe it was • private transaction with Came ron in the sale of some bank shame. Mr. Esdslle doubted hie qualification in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders, and this was the note given in respect of those shares which he purchased from Mr. Cameron. By Mr. Bovill—None of the entries in the ledger referred to Cameron by name. It would be unusual to refer to the name. On the 31st December. 1866, the balance to the credit of the British Bank at the Bank of England, was 3213341. 88. OA. By Sir F. Thesiger—The books in which Mr. Cs moron's accounts were entered in his name, were the register of convertible securities and the country bills book. The Wanes at the Bank of England I have spoken of was the balance of a drawing account which the British Bank had with the Bank of England. It was made up of cheques on the Bank of Eng land, received from our customer., Bank of England notes, and, when occasion required, discounts from the Bank of England upon bills. Those discounts have exceeded, and sometimes they have fallen short of our balance at the Bank of England. By Mr. Serjeant Shea —The balance at the Bank of England has been as high as 60,0001. [The witness was under examination when our report Wt.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) THE AVRITLY GARDENA COMPANY (LIMITED). This was the day appointed by adjournment for the hew ing of the petition, wbich was presented in August last,. foe the winding-up of this company. Mr. A. Jones, representing the petitioner (Mr. Horace Jones, architect) stated that since the last dtting a great many meetings tithe shareholders and creditors had taken place,and a great many proposals bad been made to prevent the company being wound up- but they had all como to nothing. A meeting of shareholders had taken place at the Gardens on the 19th January, when it was unanimously resolved that the company should be wound up under the petition aired, presented to the Court. All opposition to the peti tion was now withdrawn ' • it was found that this was the only mode of winding up the affair; and he asked the Court now to make the order. The C ommissioner—l &relay the concern wiU succeed • when it gets into the hands of &Private individtmL Mr. Jones—l dare say it will. The Commissioner.—And I am equally confident that it would not succeed in the hands of a company. If the company had found the capital to buy it, and had them let it at a fair rent, I don't know whether they might not have made something of it in that way. Then it seems there is nothing to do but to make the order. That disposes of the whole question about the Surrey Oar dens. You will have the proper documents drawn up. The order for winding up was then made. The liabilities are stated at about 25,000/., including 15,0001. on mortgagee; the assets are dependent on the realisation a the property. THE POLICE COURTS.
