Tag result of the ecclesiastical conferences at Thistles, is to leave the question ot collegiate educa tion pretty mash where it was before. Tne moderate party among the catholic I:eshops who fear the ulti mate consequences of an attempt tocetablish ee system of separate education, as likely to prove mon perilous to the spiritual loyalty of the laity than the utmost hazards of protestant Retain on history, or dull tear °Bettors in Swim metaphysics,—the moderate party have neither yielded nor succumbed. After loog debate, the Synod 4 sa'd to have leen equally divided on the practice' !question, whether they should pro nounces any opitnen ll on the suitability of the Queen'. College., for ttei purposes of mixed educa tion ; a nominal d cities hems only obtained by the outiog voice of the newly-appointal primate, who, as it is well known, adheres to the opposite side be the controversy. The greater part of Dr. Cchtxte's life has been passed in Rome, amid an exelusively catholic com munity, and in avocations which of necessity gave to Ideas of clerical authority, predominant, if not en grossing sway. He become hubituated to a state of society in which not only a prit at was absolute king, and where (eery oMee in the state was filled by eccle siastics, bet is which the standing policy, both of foreign and domestic administration was professedly the teceredency of the cstholio faith. Supposing him to be a thoroughly sincere and single-minded man, be moat have long 'Mee ceased practic try to measure systems and laws by any other stand ard, than that of HILDEBILLID. In the mind of such a man the interests of the world, when not identical with those of the Palmy, are simply eynosymous with those of the flesh and the devil—not to be parleyed with, not to be bargained with—mtrely to be ignored and set aside. And is as nom . xed community the realisation of such views is apparently parible. latest. etual acquirrence may be but nominal, and the subordination of men's thoughts and questionings may be only superficial; but uniformity of external pr he ion may, se we know, be obtained, and tho winds of controversy may be locked up in no fabulous cave. Spain, Italy, and Austria attest the practicability of a more or less complete system of the kind we speak of: how far the state of any of them inn, be deemed satisfactory or encouraging even in a strictly catholic tense, we stein act here to inquire.. But the exclusive system in a mixed community is a wholly different matter. The great end for sake o t which elsewhere it exacts such sacrifices of individual and axial freedom cannot even in semblance be se cured. The catholic bishops in Ireland who oppose the Queen's Colleges desire Reoperate university,to be pieced entirely under their control, hoping dove tidy that within its precincts the breath of protestant doubt may never enter. Suppose they had their way—that the txp emu nt of the college s were abandoned— and that in a rigidly oath die establishment the most ainhiticus and acquisitive mind. of the next generation were schooled in the t erect itneesardallthe learning et the ancients. how wculd such training fit them to eudnre the collision to which they must needs be exposed in after ? So long as the youthful questioner Varied within the shade, of the Ise cloister, the right of professional authority, or the unoon flicticg dicta of a carefully elected library, might silence, it they did not wholly still, his perplexities. But in the active life of med.eine, commerce, or the bar, men cannot intellectually sustain themselves by bodes alone. The struggle has too long been free; and the habits of thinking and speaking of necessity are toosesrehiug to render it paisible for any man to maintain hi. position by mere reliance on authority. If he cannot wrestle and grapple with a sudden as sail:et, his accurate knee ledge of obsolete tactics will prove but of little avail; and if helms not been trained to contend and accueto:ned to the rough usage of con flicting o,deions, no store of rusty weapons or un preer.m armour will save him from discomfiture. We would not be supposed to mean that polemical exercises ought to constitute a portion of the me scribed curse of study in pieces of collegiate study. What we contend for is, that in the presence of these who avowedly differ from them in certain grave es-entiale of opinion and belief, young men acquire the habit both of toleration and self-relianoe---the two noblest elements cf healthy civilisation. Dispel tion in the chin-room is disorder. Con troversy ie the colle_c pulpit is a very questionable exercise of p-storal discretion. Insidious attempts at proselytism by heeds of linu-cs or professors is palpa bly a fraud deserving of in more forbearance than mean larceny. Bat the companionage of youths dit tering in by reditary creeds is fall of mutual benefit. The arrogance of imagined superiority is laughed out of countenance ; the still worse seams of self-distrust is worn away. Friends are made, not converts; and instead of rival bands of opinionated and feeble bigots, we have the intermingling sympathies of self respecting and self-restraining men. To many of the Irish catholic bishops these advan tages are clear. To the venerable Archbishop Men- RAY, who has passed a blameless life in the midst of aegry parties and won the testimony of their universal prase for wisdom, piety, and worth—the dangers of deterioration and detriment appear incalculable if a separate system of cillegiato education be insisted on. No man understands more clearly what is foe the true interests of his flock : no min in the recent Synod could have had fewer impulses of a perinea nature to warp his judgment ; and, had he stood alone in maintaining that with certain modifications not un reasonable in themselves, the Queen's Colleges ought to be sustained, his opinion would deservedly have much weight with all sober and reflecting men. But what by his side there are known to have stood twelve out of twenty-five of the Catholic episcopal body, who declared themselves unshaken in the opinion that with caftan modifications the proposed collegiate system ought to be cheerfully adopted by the eatholio community, itis manifest that the question, as ore either of church discipline or of individual conscience, is as far as ever from being set tled by the Synod of Thurlee. Rome is finally appealed to in the capacity of grand arbiter of the Celtic controve-sy. B are resolved to send their chosen remesentatives The primate-legate is determined to plead his own cause before the Propaganda; and two of the opposite side proceed to the same distant tributes' 'seeder that the views and reasonings that have swayed their brethrea and themselves may be fully stated and considered. This it has hardly beau before. One thing is clear, that if any concessions can with propriety be made to satisfy the scruples of the moderate party, they aught to be made freely and promptly. It has been thole lotting sin of English rule in Ireland never to colossi* in time. Everything that Las boa lishisi--essard peeler., municipal reform, the 00 thestehime--essit has been stupidly withheld = the rose of concession was gone, and them node part of am unavailing attempt at reparation. In the point instance we scarcely know what the 'demobs of mixed education moo, the adobe lieeseshy demand. Bette their Irak mad to rearm seedier' eauses etr eer a =t freeawassr.

He (Cnexeoan) pretends to be in politics • roes, with much more claim, pretends to be _ gion—the great arbiter, the irrefregable authority, the pontiff of moral law. The deputise (dicer by the people of Francs are to look him for their rale of °ceded. He is net only the prince, but the political confessor sad whippeve They are to practise hypocritio submission to the powers that be, only so far and so long as he (Cat% Bolo) shall permit. He has hitherto granted large dispensations in this respect, but he will henceforth he more chary of them, aid will require all loyal Frenchman to return to "these honourable traditions of " which prevailed in the &ye of Louie XIV. The poor Count de CHAMBORD might as well have made his appearance on the terrace or the green of the great garden of Versailles, attired in the pongee and court suit el the 17th century, as hate ad dreeced the modern French with such a Ball as this of Secretary BARTHELEMY. And yet the pretender does not reason without premise& From the pees and from the mouth of most men he learns that France is sick of revolution, and eager to fall dews before some principle of a uthority in politics as well as In religion. His reading informs him that the French have tried a military despotism, the old me. narchy with an octroyed constitution, id a middle class monarch with a parliamentary charter. And by the rule of the actor, who was neither fit far tragedy nor comedy, but must be fit for something, there is to alternative for France but to sink ones more under the old perruque of Louis XIV. The grave politicians who rale matters in France at price, sant, recommend their fellow-econtrymen to do thee in the matter of religion ; w h y should it not be dose in politics? The Count de CHAMBORD allele, however, a greet mistake in supposing these great politicians to be sincere when they %yoke the principle of authority in politics. They are eager to establish the authority, not of a political pope, bat of a certain number of eaparitis enough to form a parliamentary conclave. He dreams of monarchy with an aristocracy depend. ant on it. They rave an oligarchy with the name of a monarch to veil it. CHAMBORD or BORDEACX would suit them as well as any other. But he evidently his not divined their meaning, nor come into their terms. And we should say that the Count de CHAMBORD% letter puts an end for ever to any chance that he might have had of ascending the throne of France. His assertion of the divine and indefeasible right of legitimacy without popular sanction precludes the future attachment of any seas,ble legitimist. The only hope indeed that the most sanguine could entertain of a restoration of the old retying. was its being demanded by a union of the two extreme*, of the old aristocracy and of the people. Disgusted, betrayed, disappointed, crushed, there was no knowing to what must the French people or populace might turn their views. Universal suffrage returned the present assembly; universal suffrage elected Louis Naronzow ; why should not universal suffrage make the proper genuflexion before the legitimist Count de CHAMBORD ? It might have beim dere, could the Count have unlearned that he was a Bourbon; could he have laid claim as a man of mese, and courage, and consideration ; could he so conduct himself as not to be detected, despised, and laughed at ; but this, it appear., was impossible. The faults end foibles of the ORLEANSES are so recent, that they put that line quite hors Jr combat for the present. This Louts rumens felt, when he recommended his grandson to postpone his rights to those of the Count of Cuemenosto. Lours NAPOLEON'S faults and foibles IN in course of manifestation, and every day of his reign makes him more foes than friend.. Here was CHAMBORD's beat chance, that of inheriting and picking up the hopes and affections that his rivals fling away. I nst ead of poking them up, however, he has now flung them away. Ile might have said what be has to his followers in a whisper, and thereby put more compactness and discipline in his party. Batt* have spoken out as he has done is demented.% It is not the will of heaven that such a Ind se that should eves reign. There is, however, in tho world of politiesi pro pel.. one great residuary legatee of the talweltsass of fonliel princes, and that is the republic. It is a form of government that in no great kingdom of Europe is at ell likely to come of itself. It certainly did mat so coma either in America or in France. But it has come of the faults of rulers and the injustice of dominant claimer. There are a great many objections% it, especially in a volatile people little used to eelf-go veroment, self-dependence, or self-development. There are few specimens of man !em republican than the Frenchman. But republican he mast be, if no monarch will suit him. And it strikes us that there is ao earthly chance of any . one's doing so. The political Pope of Wiesbaden is certainly not the King far Frenchmen, who, even in having their wills and cow seiences suttee/led, do not like to be broadly told se The circumstances attending the discomfiture and flight of the whole tribe of Orleans, are really too lamentable, too ludicrous, tco destructive of all dignity, for any great mass of the French public to go to any risk. or entertain more than a cold respect for them. Louts NAPOLEON had a name to captivate the people, and especially that most valued class of the people which nets between the middle and the lower. But instead of looking to I I the quarter where his strength lay, instead of fan ning the embers of Bonapartism into anything like a national flame, he has merely coquetted with the mem bers of an upper class that hate him, and pandered to the fears, and sellishnees, and meanness of the com mercial class, that in fact care for no one; so, at this moment, however tolerated as a president, he is as far as either of his rivals from the throne. His faults mere than even theirs have strengthened the repel:i lia feeling, and we do believe that his worthlessness ed witlessness have more consolidated that form of =let in France than the presidency of c. with ever so much sagacity and patience, emdd hive done.

Forbearing to remark at preemie upon the removal of the seat of govern ment ts Wilhelmabi4, and the inenesed °barge thereby in. tarred,—questions upon which the Chamber, at its new modeling, will have to come to • nominations' deciliters, it is the plain duty of the Permanent Committee to guard the Interests of the national representation, met of which its own arise, sad to come forward sad oppose by sonatitatiosal mans all attempts to violate the fundamental law of the state.

A letter dated Cassel, Sept. 21, says : "The state tribunal has met thrice to consider the indictment preferred against the ministers by the Permanent Committee. The decision is awaited by the public in the greatest suspense, for on that depends whether Hassenpflug and his confederates shell shortly lit within four stone walls, or be allowed to trouble the land for another six mouths. Except the half-dosen creatures of Hassenpflog, no jurist doubts the uncon stitutional 'character cf the late proceedings upon whose illegality the courts have already pronounced indirectly. All that is uncertain is whether the committee of the Assembly, or the Assembly itself is the proper proseentor. Should the court decide that the latter only is competent to impeach the minis ters, the meeting of the ne r chamber most be waited for, and even this might be dissolved before proceed ings were taken. Oa the other hand, should the court pronounce the competency of the committee to prosecute, Hassenpflag's fate would be inevitable. He would certainly be condemned, and without hope of escape, for the constitution excludes the dispensing power of the sovereign. The new ordinance directed by Hassenpflug against the officers of the treasury and inland revenue departments is now printing."

PARIS, TUESDAY ETINING. The President set oat this morning, at eight, for Versailles. to be present at the review in the plain of Baldry. He was accompanied by General Changer slier, M. Caller, General d'Hautpoul, M. B.roche, and several generals and sides-de-camps, and pro- ceeded directly to the villa of Lord Normanby, who entertained the President aid his suite and the Ne wline princes at breakfast at ten o'clock. After breakfast the party mounted the President's horses and repaired to the ground, which is a high table of land above the town, to the south-west. The Prince of Nepaul rode on the Pnsident's right, Ciptain James, the interpreter, being between the two in the uniform of his military rank. The brothers of the prince came next behind. A 'brilliant and numerous staff followed. The whole street and road op through the wood was lined with thousands of spectators, who had poured out from Paris to witness the review. There were five regiments of foot and four of cavalry, with some batteries of artillery. A sham-battle took place, with diecharies of artillery, charges, and all the mimic circumstance of war. After the evolutions a flintier was to be given to the officers. There appears, in the Bonapartist organs of to-day, en article which lumen the appearance of a manifesto. The circumstance of its being simultaneously inserted in the Bulletin de Paris and the Afuniteur ds Soir, two deoided but independent Napoleoniat prints, seems to indicate an official source. It is as follows The waning attitude assumed for the last two months by the monarchical parties has excited great emotion both in Paris and in the departments. Tits country has a right to know what are the projects of Look Napoleon in the event of the nyatisw,—united or disunited—of the two brioches seeking to prevent the necessary prolongation of the presi dential powers. We think we are acquainted with these projaus, and will state them in a few words. Louie Napo leon npadiates openly all dyeastie artier. pessai ; be de area no other prerogatives than thole which he now en joys. His sole object is the re-establishment of order, ewe fidi nee, anst credit; in a word, to close the era of revo lutions. But, to accomplish the mission of pease which has been reserved for him by Providence, it is necessary that the power of the President should have stability and duration. Louis Napoleon would not respond to the wish of the six millions of citizens who chose him as the symbol of the ideas of order and prudent pre grew inaugurated is 1789, if he were humbly to bow his heed to the royalist eicialition whisk imprudently agitates the country. Louie Napoleon hopes, then, that when the mo ment shall arrive for discussion the future condition of France—that ie to say, to enesolidate power de fi nitively, oe to decree anarchy—the National Assembly will comprehend the duties imposed upon it by dreumstances, and the la mellae responsiqUity which it would assume in history if it woes to Imitate to vote the immediate revision of the coned toga'. II the National Assembly, forgetting that France desires above aU things to be tranquillised, should refuse to adopt a meanies imperatively demanded by public safety, Loafs Napoleon would not hesitate to make en appeal to the entire people of France, from whom he has received his min. lion; and the pi opts would decide whether the President of the Republic should adopt for his motto, "Abnegation or Pongee ranee." The organs of the opposition declare their intention , of waiting till the article receives an facie' sanction before they pew a jodgment upon this siLgulu announcement, which looks like a declaration of war ' against the National Assembly, and is certainly a menace of the most unjustifiable kind. The appear. mice of the article lest night is expicined by the ciernmstance that it was the lest occasion on which Inch a composition could figure in a paper without a 1 same attached. The members of the Assembly who 1 set to-day in the Salle des Conferences, complained loudly of this now attack front the Bonapartist press, which will probably mike se much noise in the Com mittee of Permanence us the doings of the Society of the Dix Decembre. The sitting of the Committekon Thursday , is expected to be a very stormy one. Great diversity is visible in the ways adopted by the papers of conforming to the obligation of signa ture imposed by the Lew press-law. The Murair signs everything, even translations from foreign papers and news borrowed cut of contemporaries. The Mini and Presze publish at the head a list of their contributors. The leaders are signed by the authors in full, and the minister paragraphs initialed. The Gazette de France only signs its first article. The inconvenience to the public of the signing system is strikingly instanced today in many papers, but in none more strongly than those which are con ducted by MM. Veron and Casugnae, The former treats us to a history of his personal acquaintance ' with the President, and publishes the note by which M. Innis Napoleon Bonaparte first desired the homier of M. Verse's acquaintance. A portrait of the prince; his character and manners succeeds, daubed with the grossest flattery. M. Comps* presents us in the same manner with autobiographical details, which the reader could afford very well to miss. Take this specimen: " About a month before the 30th of Das oembt r I became again a journalist, to give to sseirtt the humble tributes of my imper ishable devo set up the flag of Louis Na poleo n in the corner of France to which I tad wi thdrawn, and in a month after it wu saluted by the acclamations of six mil lions." Thus on all hands the weary newspaper reader Is beset with the obtrusive personal vanity of a series of radiate:as, and. instead of beholding in any apt the reflex of the public mind, is ;minted with the grimaces of the self-satisfied journalist. Duke Pasquier has addressed a letter to the Opinion Publique, contradicting . the report which describes him as preparing memoirs for publication. The Pope her addressed a brief to M.

Great floods have occurred in the region about Perpignan, from the excessive rains in the south. The ambassador of Repaid having expensed his wish to Fro " behind the some of the Opera, the di rector, M. Roqueplan, intimated that he @hostel be most happy to receive him, and Saturday was the day fixed for the visit. At 'brut eleven o'clock, the prince and his suite arrived in several carriages, and their splendid jewels looked well in the sunshine. The distinguished visitors were first taken to the great dancing-room, in which the members of the corp. de Wet were taking a lemon. A gilded arm-chair was prepared for the prince, and he watched the lesson with the greatest interest. Afteraitting nearly an hour, he was 'Aid if he did not feel some e ima ', but he re plied that he could remain till nightfall with pleasure. The director, however, in order not to weary him, conducted him with great ceremony to the stage, and he was there placed under the canopy which serves far the emperor in the third art of La Isar.. Mlle. Fanny Cerrito stood by his aide, and the corps de ballet danced the divertisannene of the BpfattaVoupg, the new owed M. Auber, which is about to be brought out. Thrprinee was delighted, and he requested that all the proms of the ballet should be presented to him. The presentation took place in the great foyer, and when it was concluded the ambassador delivered a little speech, which was translated into English by his interpreter, and then from English into Pmerh. The speech was to the effect that never had any women appeared to him so escheating as those of the opera, end that he would sever forget what he had seen, however distant he might be, and however long Rearm might allow him to live. The direst*/ having sent out for the finest fruits that could be prepared, invited the prince to partake of them. The prince replied that If a refusal would offend the director, he would partake of them, notwithstanding the ardinauces of his reli gion would be violated by his eat* in the presence of strangers ; but that be would tt tly prefer that the young beauties who eseroanded him should be invited to take the froth. To this the director w eeded, and the young lain emptied the baskets, and devoured the fruittrith an alacrity which appeared I greatly to amuse the prince. Before leaving, the am roue, em.

Muller- Melchior brought up the report of the finance com mittee on the resolutions moved by the minister on the first day of the anion, prolonging the grant of taxes to the end of 1850. The report refused the financial measures of the government, denounces a number of abuses, and defends the right of the Chambers respecting supplies, a right which the go vernment had attempted to under-estimate. The committee advise the Chamber to decline the government proposition, and not to renew the per mission to collect more taxes in the pant relations of the parliament and ministry. It adds to this recommendation a protest against the attempted depreciation of the prerogatives attributed to the Chamber in See. 67 and 68 of the Constitutional Act. The *mad part of the report concerns hi. Lehne's amendment, which was referred to the committee by the Chamber. This amendment proposed to specify those acts of the ministry which had alienated the confidence of the Chambers, and enumerated among these the scansion of the government of the Prussian league of May 26, 1849, the promulgation of the Erfurt laws, &e.

ABDUCTION AT TOURS. Great sensation has been caused at Tours and its vicinity, espedally among the resident English, by the tri al last week, before the Court of AlliZeS of the department, of the Count Foreetier de Conbert, on the charge of enticing from her home a young girl named Isabella Hamilton, daughter clan English clergyman resident at Tours. Some months ago M. de Peewit , ' went to live in that city, for the benefit of his wife's health, end in his walks he felt in with Mist Isabella Hamilton, who, with Ler bonne, acaompenied her young sisters and brothers in their pruntenades. He commenced an acquaintance by giving the children cakes, and afterwards made a point of befog every flay on the pro. marrieds when Mistreats-11a arrived. Alter a while it appeared, according to the indictment, he began maki!g love to the young lady, and she received has advances with good grace. She used also to indicate to him, by placing a fl mer pot in a particular petition in her window, in what promenade he might meet her. He at last, said the indictment, persuaded her to leave her father's roof, and, in company with the bowie, a girl named Addle Hendren, aged 17, go to Puff, where he said he would secure her an apartment, and world provide for both. Isabella, it seemed, wu very glad to get away from home, as her parents were about to send her to school in England—a measure to which she had the atroogeet porible repugnance; she even, it appeared, had gone the length of telling Foreetier that she would sooner commit sui cide by poison than be sent away. Foresurr, it was alleged, arrangedwith Isabella that she and her bervact,Ad•le, should leave the house of the Rev. Mr. Hamilton in the evening of the 22nd May last, and that they should go to Paris. lie had previously written a letter to a frien d . of hie the Baron Eugene de Visit', telling him to meet the girl and provide lodgings for them. This letter he began by saying: " I send to you, my friend, a young English girl, aged fi ft een, with a pretty little face, light hair, clear blue eyes, delicate ago mama mouth, and slightly prominent chin. She is the tibiae. of an Irish minister, who has a host of children. She be wmonipanted by a little bonne of sevantef n, with auburn heir, &e., named Male." He then went on to ray that at a future time he would tell the friend all the history of the agile, but that he might then mention that the young lady had threatened suicide. " Don't make me any objec tion," he added; " I have only acted after long dehbc rations. I beg of you to meet them at the railway station on their arrival—babel!' Oho is the name of my charming pretty salsa) will have on a plaid gown, a straw bonnet, and a black woollen cloak; the serrate', an old block bonnet of her mistier. They have been told you •will be there, and will experst to meet yen. That they mny recognise you, have a white Rower at your button-hole, or rather keep a pocket-handkerchief is sostantly to your mouth. I laugh at the thought of your misting these poor creatures! Take an apartment for them—let it he simple, Out becoming." He nest recommends the friend to be cautions, and then says: " The father will no doubt take tome measures, which it is important to render vain. I shall therefore con tinue to show myself in the politic promenades, that I may not be suspected; and then I will relieve you in your guard. My wife is better. Bretonneau is tending her as if the were his own child. She is surrounded with devoted attendants, has a good house, and her physician in ordinary is ono of the princes of the: seienee. What can Ido more ? I may venture to give myself this little gratification. Don't scold me. I tell you that the father is an Englishman and a cler gyman—two simile I detest, and who are, as it mere, grafted cue on the other, expressly to take from me ell sort of re . mores." The Baron Eugene de Visits. replied in the lame skein, saying, &maw other amiable thaies. " I bad some thoughts of morelising with yea, but what's the use I The wine is drawn, and yea must drink it." On the 22,1 May, se arranged, the two young girls met the Count de Fo rgetter at the appointed rendezvous. He accompanied them to the railway, and paid their fare to Park. At Paris they were remind by the Baron de Vivito', and he took them to a lodging-house in the Rue de P Heirs elk& There, the young lady refaced to give her name, sad directed that no one should be admitted to her except her uncle (V' an 1 her husband, who she said she expected. Wirier visited her several times during the day. Meanwhile FOSIWi r remained gaietly at Tours, in order that he might not be suspected of having been concerned in the flight. But it so happened that the family at once suspected him, and the Rev. Mr. Ha mates immediately laid & complaint against him before the Preeareur de la Republique. That functionary in order to weld egandal, went to Furrier's house, and called on him be explanations. Forestier declined to say any *lag, and thereupon the Procureur de la Itnpublique re. imbed to have him guested. But it being then after nightfall, the arrest could not be legally effected. The Preeareur ac cordingly caused the count's home to be surrounded by pce lies agents during the night to _p_revent his escape. On this, Faristier wrote off to Paris to Vivier, to send back the girls immediately, and he constituted himself a prisoner. Tha santday, Miss Isabella and her attendant arrived in Tours, and the former was restored to her parents. The public presecater, however, deemed it his duty to detsin Forestier, sad to prosecute him. The Reverend Mr. Hamilton, on the cootrary, was anxious that the matter should be dropped, and he wrote an affecting letter to the public prosecutor, formally withdrawing his complaint, and entreating him to drop the prosecution. Bat the procureur represented that the law must take its course. In the preliminary exarallm tion, the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton, and Mils Isabella were called on to give eel. fence. The drat-named declared that his daughter was born in 1836, at Clifton, near Bristol; the second described the young lady's flight, and ematauniested the reostance of a letter she had leis behind bee. Isabella herself varied in her statements. In her test examination she declared that she bad resolved on the flight herself, end that Poulain had scolded her an her folly, and had dissuaded her from it; he only, she said, consented to eM her, when he saw that she was gaits determined to go. She was not aware, she declared, that she was to meet him at Paris, and she had resolved, she said, to change her num. Bke eobranly took God to witness to the truth of all this. BM when lexestier's kitten were read to her she ex pressed put fadignation, she nevertheless did not rennet her sires rent. To her wand examtnatioe, on me rairs l 7 , she declared that it wes Forestier who bad Ant proposed to her to Sy, and that ke had offered to ,barium his wire, notwithstanding bl ii iir ai en to go with her. Sir at int, she mid, this was a lake, semi bad laughed at it, bat he had pressed her and had got the servant Adele to do so likewise. It was only by _their istreadee that she had gone. Oa arriving at Park, Vivier toll Image Fermin wee in love with her, and would die if ebllgol to Mu &lama her. When told of the way m id* bp bog ea en of her in his letter, she burst late tagesk_sed ees,"ma t it is painful to me his coatempt fee met I ward sap beer to him, and he learned that I loved him. Yr, I knew be wee married. Alas! I know not how I Men Yoe meted es l" Isabella wee time see heated with Iftweider, and eke persisted is theleging *OW was be who bed Mimed her to go. POSWIthe said that the lON Or fest n and he complained to her thrash, wee set M»4 the verb. " Yon cannot wish to ruin ens, Made. smeheile," said be e " by stating what is untrue!" and he resld rupgikatsd her to retract. But she refired, and an nil at last, - " Well ! baring in vain made angal to the henget sentiments of Mademoiselle, I must l nye rielf to my fate." In the third examination In again voided her story. Ohs said she bad laid too mash to the sours charge ; that is consequence of dimensions with bee sister, she had resolved on lariat her parents ; that she had declared to Fotestier that if he womb' not take her away, she would poison herself; sod a on. She added that da had spoken against him on the hat occasion, because she had been told that he had declared that he would sooner go to the galleys for life than marry her. In her last examination she again formally sail positively dec!ored that it was she alone who had resolved on leaving home, that Forestier had awes pomaded bar to go, never promised to leave his wife for her—and , she added, sttempted to introduce him all into her apartment. At the trial (which took pleas be fore a court crowded to excess, babel's, h• r father, mother, and elder sister, did not appear to give criO e nce, th oug h e 't had been rummoned. The pri:a.ipal evidence for the pro- Bandon consisted it the ieselmg of the indictment, and in the ti aim( ny of Mr. Halley, Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, and a younger brother and sister of Is.beila re to the pre cis* age of that young lady. They all ca.ed . that she was about fourteen. This paint was important, as by the Freak law, the crime of what is ailed ditoorrnenext d'uoc jowls Alto naneure, can only be cemmittat whoa the girl is under 16; after that age she is aonsi,lered a free gent, and is account able for her own actions. Baron de Varier w. s examined, but his evidence threw little light on the affair. When asked by the presilea Low he could have acted as he had done, he said he hod been influenced by I.:a friaulakip for Count de Parader. It was elated that since this unfortunate affair Ferestiet'a wife had did, and that Ise, ar xious to oaks all the reparation in his power for the fejtay he had done her, had offered to marry her, but that her father had posi tively rause& Porestier cowed evidence to bo airen by several person, to prove that he had LT Ty main to believe from Is etalla's personal appearance and other dram tenets that she was more than sixteen years of age, and he laboured both in his interrogatory _end throughout the trial to show tat he had not persuaded but to leave her home. Af to r the pleadings were over, Parader, Ma volts of much emotion, read a paper to the jury, drawn up as follows I have to make, bettors my tellow-roitass, the trowel of a fault which the law does not puthb ; and you nil 'gait this avowal as a further expiation to be added to my !mg suffer ings. Darin,/ two ye:rs I straggled to eve from death the life of an angel to whom I had associated my destiny, ehen fatal and unforeseen meeting surprised me in eats of those moments of moral dissoaragentea, in which • man hes cot sufficient sue• gilt to maintain himself in ohs line of duty. You will not brand my life, gentlemen, for a mo mentb self-forgettuleess; you mat act caromed a fault with a crime; you isillnot forget that the honour of Miss Hamilton is intact, end that I have offered her all the repara tion in my power." The President then summed up, and the jury, after an hour's de/iberation, returned a veniat ot " Not guilty." The servanc.tiel, Ads. laJudron, was included in the indictment, for having as. Wad in the Sight of Isabelle, but the public preseetror abandoned Ito Buse modest her. The verdict vat received with sent applause, wl•lel. was immedia.ely repressed by the President.

The visitors, who had darter the evening been repeatedly cautioned not to approach beyond the boundaries or put their hands to the cages of the animals, generally obeyed the injunction, hut the unfertheats woman, Payne, in a fit of bravado, put her hand as the cage of the leopards, who were eating their food. In an instant one of the leopard's seised her hand with his paw, drawing it into the cage through the lean grating, and then seized it with his mouth and claws below the elbow. The piercing screams of the woman speedily brought the keeper and other persons to her uslatenco, who, with the Lid of an iron bar and large sticks, enoesoded in toning the animal to tooth his hold, but net until the arm was severely lacerated.—Nerthampt ora Mercury. „
