(Bolt TIE 0011411.2•PON111? OP TIE PATIN 111WB.) BERLIN, Fan 11. Within the hurt few days nothing has happened to slier in any material degree the slats, quo of Prussia's political situation. A lull has evidently taken place since the gust that suddenly burst at Frankfort last week. This momentary quiet must not, however, deceive the public into the belief that the storm is over. Far from it. Steps are being taken on both sides to make all snug aloft, and pre pare for the approaching hurricane, which threatens to throw all Europe within the influence of its veracious vertex. The mission of General T oe Wedell to Paris has hitherto borne no visible fruits, and secret niisgivinge on the subject are beginning to be telt as to its being eventually crowned with any success. It was at first considered probable that Austria might take umbrage at Prussia's opening direct negotiations at Paris with the Western Alliance, but that fear is now removed. All Germany is now fully convinced of the fact that the great crisis of the world is rapidly approach ing, and probably before the lapse of another month the fate of nations will be decided. It is useless attempting to deny the fact that the preparation for war decreed by the Federal Diet is bat the first step towards direct hostilities with Rwiek that the German states must necessarily be involved in it, and that it will be next to an ire • y km Prussia to tempor i se any longer. ids • sic,. . excep tion of the small aristocratic court party, and its organ the 'reit: Zeitomy,the whole of the Prussian nation, the army, sod the press, are in favour of an open declaration to go with the Allies. The Queen's reclamation more closely pruhibiting all inter -001111111 with the enemy which is already known Lore by the telegraph—has caused a panic both amend the Russian party and on the Exchange, for it is well understood that its object is to ruin our flourishing transit trade in the Baltic, and to stop the exit of Russian produce, which found a vent hitherto by the ports of Dantsig and Memel. Which of your readers, in these days of locomo tion, has not been on the Rhine, and either struck with the primitive simplicity of the pontoon bridge extending stress that nob le river, and obstructing his passage if he arrive by a steamer, or forming the rat break in the communication, the missing link in the great iron chain of railroads connecting the east with the west, if he arrives by a train ? A few words, then, on the subject of the new standing bridge about to be erected will no doubt interest the greater part of your readers. After many years of talking about it, the Prussian government have taken up the matter, aid the result is that the bridge is to be built forthwith. The expense is estimated at five millions of dollars, of which the government pay two, the Cologne and Minden Railway Company two, and the city of Cologne the remaining mil lio n. It wu at first proposed to make the bridge on the tubular principle, but that has been discarded—l know not on what grounds--and an open iron bridge is to be constructed. It will rest on three massive piers in the bed of the stream, with a similar one on each bank, forming four openings for the passage of the water, each with a span of 313 feet. The site appropriated for the bridge lies be tween the square known as the Frankenplatz, in Cologne, and the present wharf close to the railroad terminus at Deutz. There are to be no openings in the bridge to let vessels through, but the height of the arches will be more than sufficient to admit of the steamers passing, lowering however their funnels in doing so, at all times, even in cases of heavy floods. To make it accessible for railway traffic, the bridge will be divided longitudinally into two equal divisions, one of which will be devoted to the passage of train', and the other thrown open for use. There will also be a part divided off re peril pedestrian.. As, however, the height of the bridge will be much greater than the level of the railroads on either side, in ceder not to impede the navigation, there will be at each end a moveable platform and the necessary machinery for raising aad lowering it with a whole train to the level of the two railroads respectively, thus evading the trouble, expense, and time of unloading and reloading the trucks and carriages, The necessary approaches on the Cologne side will include a jou tloll railway through the city, connecting the different lines on the left bank with the bridge and each other—a desideratum, the want of which is at pre sent most severely telt, end which will necessarily afford a great facility to the accelerated transit of goods and passengers. SPAIN. thee, on account of his being ordered to the Crimea. Monsignor Talbot performed the nuptial ceremony. Amongst the English catholies who bore tapers before his Holiness at St. Peter's last Friday, it being Candlemasday, were Lord Levet, Sir James Fitzgerald, and Mr. Stonrton. Sir James's sister took the veil at the Convent of the Sagro Caere, the same morning. The British authorities here are on the look-out for two English swindlers, named Davidson and Gordon, besides a host of aliases, who have made away with the genteel sum o f 500 , 0001., chiefly by forgeries of dock warrants, and have been traced to Genoa and Civita Vecchia. It is with great regret that we find by the reports of the Spanish Cortes that the cause of religious liberty is not to be immediately benefited by the restored action of that body. On the Bth. the dimension of those passages of the constitution which recognise Roman catholicism u the religion of the state was proceeded with. M. Ruis Pons moved, as an amendment, that liberty of conscience and of worship should be allowed to the same extent as in Rome. The measure of freedom enjoyed under the shadow of St. Peter's chair wan thought too liberal for Spain, and, accordingly, the amendment was opposed by M. de Los lleros, in the name of the committee on the constitution, as unsuitable to the present situation of the country. The amendment was summarily rejected. MM. Orense, Saris, Juan Batiste Alonzo, and other members of the Cortes immediately presented another resolution placing religious liberty under the guarantee of the conatitu• tion. This was at ones rejected, the votes being, for 138. against 73.

THE CRIMEA. A letter from the roadstead of Kamieseh, of the 30th ult., in the Moniteur tie la Fide*, says: Oa Sunday, the 28th ult., the first detachment of the Imperial Guard urived by the English steam transport the Ripon ; General de brigade thlrich, and all his staff, were cm board. When the Ripon entered the port, the band of the Napoleon, which was in the advanced guard, played the favourite air of Reins Borten:, and the sailors manning the yard. shouted with enthusiasm " Viva l'Empereur !" The soldiers and °Moen warmly replied. The Ripon continued her sours to the bottom of the bay, when the cut anchor• In passing before the Montebello and the Marengo she was sainted by acelamations and cries of "Vice l'Empereur !" to which the soldiers responded with increuing energy The arrival of this ungallant force has predund where thy mat favourable impression. By order of Admiral Brest, the sailors immediately effected the disembarkation of the 'Adler*, and the latter now occupy the camps pre pared for them. This morning other vessel* bringing troops have also strived. The brigade Duval, which forms part of the division of General de Saes, has been completed by these new arrivals. The vessel, the Loser, which brought ow. General Niel of the engineers, side-de-camp of the Emperor, bas left for France with despatches for the go vernment. All these movements take place with the same promptitude and regularity that would be displayed in the midst of pease is the ports of Brest or Toulon. A letter, dated from before Sebastopol, of the 29th ult., says :—Every on. is now at work and preparing for a deter shied war, notwithstanding all we are told about peace. The English have again set to work, and arming the bat. teriee is going en everywhere. Some Russian deserters have came over to us during the last few days, and they have, I am told, given 1101110 valuable information as to the positions sad manner of living of the seamy's troops. With the exception of the reserves ef the corps which are here, they have received no other reinforcement. These reserves aro for the moat part either young recruits or soldiers worn out by long service. The Remiss has here the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, and 17th division, and a division of cavalry. Oat of this number the 13th division has only its reserve battalions, the 14th only one brigade, and all of them, with the emotion of the 12th division, entered severely in the battle of the Alma and at Inkiness. The 13th, 14th, and 17th di visions as within the town ; the 11th and 12th are on the plasm between the Tehernaya sad the Belbeck; the 16th five leagues distant on the road to Simferopol, sad the 10th at Itsklitehi Seral. All the cavalry are la the neighbour. hood of Emmons. The bad state of the roads causes them to suffer severe privations, which an Increased by the ex haustion of their Sled stores, and the difficulty they ex perience in re-supplying them. The garrison of the townie generally better fed and better treated than the troops of the army of operation. This difference, instead of emit. lug emulation, causes murmuring and discontent. I am weU aware that the Russian generals, suck as Meatehikoff and Ostan-Secken, do not hesitate at any kind et adminis tredve trickery ; but the mesas drawn from illusory pro mises sad palliatives, invented ed As, are soon exhausted, sad the seedier tads that he le without boots, without brandy, and without bread. The difilealties are so serious that Prince Mentelsikoff has been impelled in the Crimea to have recourse to the same means of requisition as would be permitted to an enemy's general. The day before yes terday we made a trial of some new resists, which are said to have a wonderful offset. The first experiments, made sae time eines, were attended with but very poor results. Those now made are much better, and to-day they are again to be tried In presence of the general-In-chief. The health of our soldiers and everything else go on as weU se possible. A letter from Constantinople of Feb. 1 in the Prom, says : “letelligesse from the Crimea states that the soldier s who have served ia Algeria are delighted at the arrival of Generals l'eliesier and Niel. The latter, in particular, is looked on with peat favour, first, because his reputation se an of In siege operations Is well known, and nest because hi conduct at Bomaround throws a certain prestige round hi sass.

The weather in the Crimea is represented as exesdingly fine, and the seeks of the monastery of St. Osage affirm that the severe weather is over for the present year. Here, at Constantinople, the state of the patine* in the hospitals is decidedly better. The floe weather whisk has prevailed for these last few days has had an sanest effect on the pa tients, and the eases of convalesesses are becoming mune tons.

" Money ! money ! money I" is the eoastant and agonising cry of the Papal government at the present moment, and the anxious endsevoure of Mousignor Ferrari, the Minister of Finance, tend solely to die cover what " diggings " are likely to furnish the requisite supply. The meal and faMl resource of people in pecuniary difficulties---another loan—is a lread y on the lapis, to the amount, as is stated, of three millions of eudi, but the mode of effecting it is still undecided, as hopes are entertained, before realis ing the plan, of squeezing something out of the King of Naples, as purohassmsoney of the Principality of Pont. Corvo, which territory, like that of the Duchy of Benevento, although sanounded by the dominions of his Bourbonio Mojesty,recogoisse Roman Pontiff as its temporal sovereign. How to effect this transaction, without incurring the blame of having diminiabed the patrimony of Holy Mother Church, is what as yet puzzles Pio Noao. The ultimate intentions of his Holiness's government with regard to the finances of the country are totally inexplicable, except on the pow CIMOII4I system, which is content with patching up for the time being. An annual deficit, an an annual loan, must, ere long, bring on bankruptcy, anises the enormous property of the church and religious ear• porations be made to contribute to the of the state, which would be only an act of adios when it is considered that the salaries of car dinals, merely as ecclesiastical dignitaries, are Paid oat of the temporal purse of the public, instead of, ea one would suppose, the fat benefices of the church. The ancient subterranean ohorch of Bt. Peter witnessed this morning the unwonted spectacle of a marriage, and that marriage an English one. Miss Eaton, daughter of the authoress of "Rome in the NineteenthCentory," was the bride, and in &wider ation of her recent conversion to catholicism it was that Pio Nono granted the special dispeesation by which she and fifteen other ladies were authorised to penetrate into the venerable crypt for so igoal a Mr. Lamb was the bridegroom.

I should think the young woman must have been under 20. They were is the habit of coming frequently while I was • waiter at the Bridge-house Hotel. A young woman whom Mr. Southgate used to call Jane came several times, and asked for Mr. Southgate. She frequently came and ordered a private room for Mr. Southgate. This concluded the voluminous evident:o,sta an adjourn ment was proposed. Mr. Payne said that, as the legal adviser of the family of the deceased, he should claim to may a few words upon the evidence which had been adduced before the jury. He should release Dr. Neill from all blame, so that it would not be necessary for Mr. Coprock to offer any observations. An adjournment here took place, and on the re-assembling of the nun, Mr. Payne addressed the jury, commenting on the con flicting nature of the evidence, and the uncertainty in which the whole matter was involved. He recommended .-.-...-. the jury either to return an open verdict, or to ask to be discharged without coming to any decision. Attar all the information that had been elicited, the ease was still in a state of the greatest doubt, sordid he believe that all the facts of the case would transpire were the cue to be ad journed ad inSaitum. He therefore suggested the propriety of the j_ury returning an open verdict. The Coroner then summed up, cimmenting on the lead iog facts. He regretted the deplorable state of the law which made It incumbent upon Dormers' juries to go into private affairs in such oases as these. But he hoped the law would soon be altered. The real object of such in quiries as these was to ascertain if there was criminality on the part of any one. He quite agreed with Kr. Payne that verdiete of fele do se were a disgrace to civilised society and to the state of the law of this country. He could not conclude without bearing his testimony to the seed and ability displayed by Brett, the detective °Seer, without whose cautions the most salient points would have remained is obscurity, and he would take ears to report the beta to the City Couansimiones. The court was then cleared, and the jury consulted for about two hours, after which they returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased John Southgate died from the effects of mall* acid, adminiatered by hie own hand while in an unsound state of mind.

The following extract of a letter from Archbishop Cullen, received by a Roman catholic clergyman in this city, and which has just been permitted to tee the light in a Dublin newspaper, would appear to set attest the contradictory reports about the mission of Mr. Lucas to Rome: Irish College, Rome, Feb. 3, 1855. • • Up to the present day, no appeal hu been lodged with the authorities here against the Bishop of Ossory, or any other Irish bishop or archbishop. Neither has the famous memorial, so much spoken of, been pre rented. The lay and clerical deputation so often Re nounced has not as yet appeared. There is indeed one gentleman here who took an active part in the meetings of Callan and Thule*, but he hu not exhibited ereden tials from any party ; and, indeed, I believe he is very meritoriously employed in seeking spiritual advice and instruction from the authorities of this city, who Wag anxious to gain all to Christ, and to bring those who are astray to the right path, receive all with truly paternal kindness and Christian charity. Should the members of the deputation arrive at any future day, they, too, will receive instruction and advice which may be very useful to them. From what I now state, after having made inquirite at the Propaganda and higher quarters, you may form an estimate of the value of the reports spread in Ireland, that the appeal was going on sucousfully, and that the deputation was most active and zealous. The truth is, nothing what ever has been dons as yet. There has been no display of zeal or activity.—Your devoted servant. PAM. CrLusx. Should the representation of Cavan be vacated by the appointment of Sir John Young to the Lord High Commissionership of the lonian Islands, the Hon. Cavendish Butler, brother of Lord Lanes borough, has consented to come forward as a candi date in the Derbyite interest. A rumour, which happily was untrue, prevailed yesterday of the death of M r . Justice Torres., who has been seriously indisposed. The venerable judge is progressing favourably. The liorthern Whig publishes the following ex tract from the will of the late Earl of Leitrim: Forasmuch as all the property which my son will inhe rit is situated in Ireland, as I. was himself born in In ked, and that his family and nearest connexions are all Irish, I trust that be w il l ever consider himself an Irish man, and that he will not adopt the very contemptible mo dern fashion of looking down upon his country. Attach ment to Ireland and attachment to England are perfectly compatible, without either renouncing the former, or feel ing jealousy of the latter. I hope he will always feel strong attachment to both countries, for, upon the mutual attach ment of the inhabitants of each to the other, their united strength and happiness must depend; but he should recollect that he never can be of consequence, or even respectable, in I Eagland sa lsa is he respectable in Ireland, for which purpose trust he will consider it both his interest and his duty to have at least his country residence in Ireland, to visit his estates as often as he conveniently can, to attend to the wants and interests of his tenantry, and to °titivate their attachment and good opinion. Should he ever attain a seat in either house of parliament, let him regard it as his most essential ?uty to watch over the interests of Ireland—a duty now more peculiarly incumbent on every one connected with that country, since the parliament of Ireland has merged in that of England. Whatever objects of ambition he may have, I trust that he will never pursue them by any but honoerable means, and that if he attaches himself to a party he will connect himself with men of strict constitn lintel principles, of liberal, enlightened, and disinter ested views, but, above all, with men who an friends to Ireland. A considerable quantity of snow fell in the course of last night, and no appearance of a thaw has yet pre sented itself. The river, at both sides of its banks, from Carlisle•bridge to Riogsend and Halpin's Docks, is still thronged with shipping of all tonnage. The steamer wharves along the North•wall are crowded with the boats of the Dublin, London, Glasgow, sad Bristol Companiaa. The terrible experience of last and previous winters has shown the propriety of preferring a temporary delay and the lots of a market or two on the other side of the Channel, to the fearful hazard of life and property involved in sea navigation in weather like the present, when it is impossible to see ahead further than the head of the bowsprit.

Richardson, of the brig Abeona, on the 4th September, 1854, let. 58 south, long. 13 east, oa the recent voyage of that vessel from Liverpool to China, is taken from the official log of the captain : " Sept. 4. At 5 p.m.—light winds and smooth water—oh served broken water on the larboard quarter, about three ship lengths' distance, when presently the head and part of the body of an enormous sea-monster appeared about 3 1 ) feet above water, in an angle of about 80. His head was long and narrow—eye' not discernible. From the top of his snout, about 12 feet each side of bia head, was a white steak, about • foot in width, which I suppose to be his mouth, which he kept abut. About six feet frog the termination of the white streak (or jaw) there was a_protuberance on his back, like a small water. cask. His body, at the surface of the water, was about the sic round of the long boat. Underneath big jaws there wee a quantity of slack skin, like unto the pouch of • pelican. It was of • lighter colour than the rest of his body, which appeared quite black, and free from any description of hairs or bristles, being quite smooth. He appeared about 180 feet long, as near u could be judged. The water broke in several plane along his body, which I think must be caused by similar protuberances to the one behind his head. He was visible about 15 minutes, during which time he went under water three times, stop ping about a minute each time. He kept moving hie head from side to side, making not • straight but a serpentine coarse through the water, just keeping way with the vessel. From the position in which be lay in the water, and being so close, I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that it was the celebrated great sea semint, seen by Her Majesty's ship Models in 1849 or 1850, between the Cape of flood Hope and 8t Helena."

This case was resmsed agaia this morning. Sir F. Theeiger, Mr. Built, and Mr. Phipson appealed for the plaintiff; the Attorney-General, Serpent wain., and Mr. Wise were counsel for the defendant. The evidence given by the Count de Morey, taken ander a commission, was read. It set forth that on the 6th of June, 1851, he went with the Count Aguado from London to the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, where they remained until the 901, the reason for the delay there being the very rough state of the weather. Mn. Hope was also there, and they all took their meals together and occupied the same apartment. Ile sometimes went out with the Count delude, and Mr.. Hope sometimes accompanied them, but she generally remained at the hotel The must was affected with neuralgia. When they left the Count Aguado paid all the expenses, and the Coupt De Morey Aube,- gamily settled with him at Paris, to which they travelled, occupying the same compartment in the railway carriage. He saw nothing whatever in Mrs. Hope's conduct to cons ' promise her character. It was not at all unusual for • lady in Paris to receive visitors in her bedroom. On his crass examination by the commissioners, the witners stated that this custom did not extend tee • gustleman entering a lady's room during the time she was dreseirg, but only when the bed was made, and the room in proper order. Charles Colin was then called end examined by Scrjeant Wilkins—On the Ist of March, 1845, I went into the service of the Count Aguado as coachman, and remained with him until November last. I remember going with him to Italy in 1818. We left Paris about the end of July, and returned about the month of October. The count remrned with his mother. In 1851 I came over to England with the count. That was about the end of May. We stopped at the Bruns wick Hotel for six or seven days, and then went to the Pavilion Hotel at Folkestone. It was nightfall when we arrived there. I slept there. D was with us. He and I had separate rooms, but Doverne passed every night with the count. I remember the Count de Morey being there. The Count Aguado was suffering from pains in his face from neuralgia. He is very often effected with thou pair/. I have never seen ally improper familiarity between Mrs. Hope and the Count Aguado. Cross-examined by Bir F. Thesiger—lt was from the 20th to the 30th of July we went to Italy. The count went away with hie mother. He remained away till the end of October. I did not ge any distance with them. When we went to Folkestone from London it was by an afternoon train. I don't know the number of the room I slept in at the Pavilion. My room war on the floor above the count's room. The count was suffering much from neuralgia the night we arrived. I know that Doverne slept in the count's room, for after dinner we were together, and he left me, and went down to the count. There was no filed hour for his going down sometimes tan o'clock or 11 o'clock, or ball-pact 9 o'clock. I cannot tell what hour we were generally in my room. It was a bed-room. I know that Do 00000 's toom•eas on the same floor. I was never in the count's room. When I was called, the morning we left, the count came up with Do- verne. Doverne calks' me, and told me the porter bad been to tell the count that the sea was fair. The count came up stairs to tell me to prepare our boxes. Re-examined by the Attorney-General—l saw the count and his mother start for Italy with Doverne. Henri Doyen examined—l am a magistrate at Paris. I have known the Count Aguado's family many years. I was at Havre in 1848, at the asme time as the Aguado family. I was at Frascati's My room was above the count'a room, or that of his brother. Those rooms adjoined. I re collect the bridge leading to Little Frascati. The count never oceupied a room in Little Frascati. He eau pied 122. The count had his valet, Doverne, with him. I remember the count going to Italy at the end of July, 1848. I saw them go. I went to take leave of them at the Place Vendome, end saw them depart. The marquise, the count, the marquis's elder brother, end Dr. Murrains were there. Cron examined by Sir F. Thesiger-1 was not in the room 122, at Frascati's, at night. lam not in the habit of going about at night. Louis Bandy examined—l am the proprietor of the house No. 3, flue de Monceau.

The return is not made for prints houses, but every month of January an officer comes to see the occupier of every house, and, if any change nee taken plus he correcte the list. In 1847 I occupied the ground floor myself—in 1848 it was empty—in 1849 the occupier remained • quarter or so. I dent know his name, he was not the Count Aguado. He was a commercial gentleman. From 1860 to the pre sent time it has been occupied by • commercial firm. The fist floor bas been occupied by M. De Laroche sine. 1846. The seeped floor is occupied by Madams Martin, who has lived there since 1836. I have the third floor. I have occupied it sines 1847, when I left the ground floor. The upper Our is only for servants.

I am generallyet home; the concierge who was in the house in 1849 and 1850, died in the latter year. I had a concierge during two years. I seat him away, and have not seen him since. I never saw a lady get out of a brougham at the door of my house. Re-examined by the Attorney. General—The count fe a tall person with a dark beard. By Sir F. Thesiger—l did not see him at Paris. I did not see the vier:orate there. I saw that my house bad been mentioned in the newspapers. A gentleman afterwards called on me. - B~ the Attorney-Oenerel—lt wee that gentleman (Mr. Geyer). Several pencils' have come to se on the otheraide. Prospers Role, examined by Mr. Wise—l am en avocet at Paris. There are books kept in the archives of the Hotel de Ville for the purpose of taxes. Each proprietor is obliged to inthe a return of his house, which is afterwards verified by the proper officer. I have recently examined these books at the Hotel de Ville. They are never per mitted to be taken away. A copy of the entries would be received in courts of junkie in France. I have examined the books relative to the Rue Monceau: during seven years and I made a copy of the register as to house No. 3. Thei Count Aguado's name does not appear at all in that hoses in the street.. . . diece:eiesained by Sir F.

I remember the Count Agoado being at my house in 1861. He came on the 28th of May and remained till the 6th of June. His valet Doren' and his coachman Colin left with him, in the afeer• noon of the 6th. _ _ Antoine andier examined—l am coachman to Mn. Hope. I was in the service of Mr. Hope. I entered Mn. Hope's s ' on the 7th of November last. I knew Alexandre Tallandie. Tallandie has told me be never knew anything against Mrs. Hope. He has told me he expected to get something for being a witness against Mrs. Hope. He said he was to get 28,000 franca from Mr. Hope, and that if Mrs. Hope would give him more he would serve her. Tallandie went with me to Mrs. Hope. He asked me so take hint and announce him to her. Mrs. Hope did not persuade him not to enter into Mr. Hope's service; on the contrary, she rather advised him to do so. He said to her he was going into the service of Mr. Hope. Mrs. Hope said, " Very well ; take are of my two poor old bones, as Antoine did." Cross-examined by Sir F. Theeiger—l have been treated lately in the sera* manner u usual by Mrs. Hope. I wee married is 1861. Mrs. Hope gave me a carpet mad a bed, and something to my wife on my wedding. My wife was conhaed in Mrs. Hope's apartments is the Rue Peahen" St. Honore. One of Mn. Hope's sons is my child's godfather. Tal land ie has entered Mrs. Hope's service. I never saw Mrs. Hope in a carriage driven by Tallandie, except when he was in the service of M. Moaner. Mrs. Hope had a carriage with three seats—one with two seats—and also a large carriage. There were six horses, and in the winter I bought one. A perm named Bethune was present when Tallandie spoke of the 20,000 f. Reexamined by the Attorney-General—M. Monier is dead. When I saw Mrs. Hope in the carriage, driven by Tallandie, it war before he was in the service of the Count Armed°. I he wain the service of the Count Aguado. Mr. Hope often used the carriages and horses. I entered Mr. Hope's service in September, 1815. I drove the carriage with two horses. Mrs. Hops was very kind to her people. I left Mr. Hope's service because I saw things were working up against Mrs. Hope, on being asked to make a deposition against her. When Tallandie asked me to take him to Mrs. Hope he said if he could get 25,000 francs from her, instead of the 20,0001. from Mr. Hope, he would serve her. Jacob Beekooa examined by Serjeant Wilkins—l am a coachman at Paris. I know Alfred Tallandie by eight. I know Antoine Liandier. I was present at a oonversaticia between them on the 7th of November at a wino-shop. Tallandie said, a It is a ease of money with me. I will arrange with those who pay me most—whoever gives the men money I will speak for." He said he wished te see Mrs. Hope—he wanted to draw money. He said to An toine he had been promised 20,000 traitor, and Liandier said " How can you eat such bread ?" Cross-examined by Sir F. Thniger—l was asked to come here the day before yesterday, to give seldom. lam nee the coachman to the Agnado family. I worked foe him.
