THE NEW BRIDGES OF PARIS. The Company, who have built the bridge of the Antin Walk intended to form a new communication between Le Gros Caillun and the Faubourg &. Hortort, wished to have been able to open it to the public on the 4th of November, snd thus cele brate the King's fete, u it was celebrated last year by the opening . of the bridge of the Archbishopric. But the continual rains of this summer, and the sorry autumn we are likely to have, has obliged the Company to retard, for some days, the moment when they will have fulfilled their engagements, by opening, before the Ist of. J anuary, 1530, the three bridges of the Hotel de Vile, of the Arch bishopric, and of the Antin Walk, which they had not engaged to complete till the let of January, 1531. The bridge of the Antin Walk will be supported by two piles, in such a manner that the access to it will he entirely disengaged from the inclined chains for upholding it. The Seine is about 140 yards wide in thi. place. The hay of the joists In the middle will be nearly 70 yards. The rest will be filled with lateral joists and abutments. The road across the bridge, which is began to be laid, will be seven yards and a halt wide ; it will allow carriages to pass along it, and on each side a footway for passengers. It will be upheld by eight chains, which are now laid. Each chain is com posed of double links held together by three plates • they have been put into their places without any scaffolding. T hose of the great bay of joists were done in less than a day ; the rising of each chain ,ccupied from fifteen to twenty minutes. The chains are fixed to blocks of wood, fastened by dove-tail to the top of the piles. After resting on blocks of wood, placed on the abutments, they go down into wells, and are there held by thick wooden anchors fixed by masonry ; they are so disposed that it will be always easy to examine every part of them. Through the piles two openings are made, s yards, for the paggage of car. riage. The piles rise above II yards above the stage of the bridge, and they are, as well as the abutments, ornamented with heads of columns.--Journal des Debaes. ELOQUENT EULOGY ON A FRENCH BAR RISTER. M. Vulpian, a young advocate in the Royal Court of Paris, has just undergone a premature decease : it spread a mournful impression through the Palace of Justice. Known by his great success at the bar, M. Vulpian whose talent was flexible and various, bad also obtained more Amu one triumph at the Theatre; and his character, fall of mildness and sweetness, had gained as many friends as he had clients and comrades. His fune ral took place on Thursday week, at the burial-ground of Mont martre, where a multitude of friends attended bis tactual remains M. Cani, an advocate and chief editor of the Courier des Tribunal's, delivered over the tomb of his comrade and fellow-labourer an eulogy which was heard with deep emotion : " Vulpian! twelve years ago full, both of us, of the future and of hope, we talked together with closed doors, in combats pined by stealth, and contested public and serious questions—twelve years ago, revealing to us already what you would one day be come, you made us know how to forget the dryness of law by your wit and spirit—every year you crowned our juvenile labours with joyous couplet', the chorusses of which I still remember, and you reckoned as a friend every member of our conferences—twelve years age scarcely had that career opened itself on you. where you knew bow to find glory without exciting jealousy, where you made as many friends as you had clients and comrades—twelve years scarcely is it, and all Is finished for you. But why am I talking both of years and remembrances already at a distance? It is now only a fortnight, at this very hour, that you were preparing to achieve new successes—a fortnight has scarcely rolled away since the hour when, full of warmth and life, you ably opposed, to the attacks of satire, the whole history of an illustrious client, when we surrounded you with the congratulations of friendship—that was your last triumph! A fortnight only, and you are no more than a cold cinder, and we surround no more than a tomb ! But, oh ! my old comrade—you, my first friend of the Palace—you, whose exertions were associated with mine—you, who so many times made me the first depository of the inspirations of your ready pen —it Is not of your wit nor of your different talents that I would speak I My grief would ill agree with it, and my heart is better pleased by relating that modesty so true that filled ua with af fection—that touching frankness—that humour always equal and kind, which rendered so sweet to us our intercourse every day, and which causes us to-day so many tears and regrets. Alas! why should it be that his friends should not alone weep upon his tomb? He was a sou, a husband, and a father. A mother, four infants, and a wife, are in tears with us. May, at least. our tears not be improductive—may we not see realized. in all its desolate 'stew. that thought which escaped yesterday from the grief of his widow— ' i have lost every thing—Alphonso is dead.' Adieu, my old comrade !" LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGES. We cannot allow the grand and astonishing results of the late experiments with Locomotive Carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to pass, without once more calling the attention of our readers to the new prospects which open upon us from those experiments. We have already expressed our sense of the very interesting and improved character of the results which have been attained by the Locomotive Engines, but this is a sub ject which appears the more important the longer and more atten tively it is considered. We had intended to give several illustra tions of the effects of this important mode of conveyance, but this has already been so well done in articles which we have extracted from The Scetussan and The Liverpool Tines, that we need do little more than direct the attention of our readers to those articles. In mentioning The Scotsman, we should do the Editor of that paper an injustice. if we did not remind our readers of the series of able papers which he wrote four or five years since on the capabilities of Railways, and of which we made copious extracts in Thellernary. The calculations he then made of the speed which might be at tained upon Railways were ridiculed at the time, even by engineers ; we were always convinced of the substantial truth of those calcu lations, and their accuracy has now been fully established. Great credit is due to the Editor for the correctness with which he has made his calculations, and the boldness with which he followed them up to their results—grand and surprising as those results were. There is scarcely any more important means of advancing and perfecting the civilization of a country, than by a good system of internal communication. The greater the facility of travelling from place to place, the more active will be the social and com mercial intercourse; and the more ready the transmission of all the fruits of the earth and all the product; of manufactures, the more rapid the communication of improvements and inventions, and the more complete the dissemination of knowledge. Time is money in all operations requiring labour, and therefore a saving of time will be a saving of money. In every country, there are tracts and situations which would be highly valuable but for their distance from towns and the more populous districts : by easy and quick modes of conveyance this disadvantage is overcome, and the most may be made of all the natural capabilities of the country. To a manufacturing country especially, good communications are important: the supply of the raw material, and of the various commodities necessary to the manufacture, is more quickly and cheaply obtained, and the goods are more quickly and cheaply stilt to the home or foreign market. If railway conveyance should be extensively adopted in this country, we have no doubt that our manufacturers will derive important benefit from it In their competition with their foreign rivals; their superiority will be still more decided than it is now, in the great branches of the cotton, the woollen, the linen, the silk, the hardware, the cutlery, and the earthenware manufactures. The mere saving of time and money by the accelerated and cheapened conveyances will make the difference of more than a profit on the goods. 'lo the landowners the advantage will, if possible, be still greater —at least to those whose lands lie near the railways. The trifling xpense at which they will be able to send their produce to mar ket, and to obtain manure, lime, &c. in return, will enable them to dispense with the Corn Laws; whilst the land in the neigh bourhood of the railways will become of great value for building purposes. The merchants of Liverpool may now build their houses in the beautiful tract lying between Prescot and Wootton, or inc:eed half way to Manchester, far out of the reach of smoke, and yt:t run down to their counting-houses in a quarter or half an hour after rising from the breakfast table. For social purposes Liverpool and Manchester will be joined; and it will shortly be common for dinner parties in those towns to be composed hells.' criminately of brokers and manufacturers, shippers and spinners.— It requires no great stretch of imagination to suppose that the ladies of blai.chester will ere long begin to make morning calls on their friends in Liverpool, and vim versa. It seems highly probable that in a short time we shall travel on railwaas with ease at the speed of thirty miles per hour, and it is difficult for the imagination to foresee how great will be the changes lroduced by such a rate of conveyance. Time will, of couroe, be I to establish railways on the great lines of communication. utmost care should be taken to construct them on the best s; but the success of the Liverpool and Manchester Rail . of the Locomotive Carriages upon it, readers it email* As made of conveyance will become general, and that the stales which attend it will be realised to the community..-- Mercury. is a utracr=•^l-""""'"•‘ his mortar for the destruction of mankind. m?—Because l kihik.. r p e r g o ti d i u r c e rd dt and the ui principles %•ay, and that this 1 advantage Leeds Met Why lie uses hi • LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 26. Adjourned Sittings at Guildhall—Special Juries. wan* v. Lawson. When this action (which was brought by the plaintiff, the Editor of one of the Annuals, against the defendant, the pub lisher of the Times Newspaper, for a libel published in that paper) was called on, the attorney said be was instructed, on the part of the defendant, to apply to the Court upon an affidavit which stated that a material witness was absent ; and on that account the defendant could not safely proceed to trial. There was a plea of justification, which this witness, whose name was Phillips, would prove. He was the servant of a person named I.cvi, whose name appeared on the face of the alleged libel.— The defendant's Attorney had been some time looking for this person. He was at last discoverd to be at the house of Levi ; but when application was made to see him, Levi said that the boy had hurt his leg, and was confined, therefore he could not be seen. An application was again made, but Levi said he had left the house, and Defendant's attorney did not discover where he had gone to until last Saturday, when he found that be had gone to his father's house. A messenger was sent there, but it was dis covered he had departed for Portsmouth, for the benefit of his health, but the father refused to give his direction, being afraid that he would be subpoenaed to give his evidence at this trial, and that the journey would be detrimental to his health. The affidavit stated that the Defendant expected to be enabled to obtain the attendance of this witness at the Sitting after Term, and there fore he (the Attorney-General) hoped his Lordship would think this sufficient reason to postpone the trial of this cause until that time. Mr. Du lAll said he was taken by surprise at this step, as be had not received any intimation of this application. The Arraattay-Gassam. replied that he was not aware of it himself until be came into Court. Mr. DENMAN said the case had already stood over twice for witnesses. _ _ ...... . The Arroutu-Gusast observed that the defendant could not help it, for those witnesses belonged to the plaintiff, and therefore his client had not previously prevented the trial. Lord Terraanatt said he thought sufficient reason bad been shown for the postponement of this trial, but if the publication was dis puted, he thought the defendant ought to make some admissions. The Artoansv-Gusaau. said that the defendant admitted that, but he had no objection to examine the witnesses on interrogatories. Mr. Dumas observed that it would be the most convenient method, u Colonel Stanhope and Mr. Emmerson, the two wit nesses for whom the cause had been previously postponed, were now in England, and were anxious to leave the country again on business. He hoped his Lordship would allow the Plaintiff the cuts of the day. This wu granted ; the action, therefore, will not be tried until the sittings after the ensuing Term. NIITCUILL •ND OVUM V. manta AND OTNIRS. This was an action on a bill of exchange drawn by Leroy and Co. in America, upon Messrs. Crowther, of Liverpool, made pay able in London. It appeared that when the bill was presented for acceptance, the drawers bad failed; the holders then wrote to the defendants, who were the correspondents of the drawers, to re quest them to accept it ; the defendants accepted it for the honour of hi . Leroy and Co. if regularly protested and refused when due. At the time the bill became due it was presented for pay ment and refused, and it was accordingly protested at LiverpooL For the defence it was urged that protesting it at Liverpool was irregular, as it ought to have been protested at the place where it was made payable. Lord Tongan's left it to the Jury to say whether or not this was the proper course to pursue ; and if it was not, whether the conditional acceptance did not oblige the Plaintifs to protest it at Liverpool? The Jury, after some hesitation, found a verdict for the Plain tiffs—Damages, 4781. Lord TtirrtllDl24 thanked the Jury for the attention they had shown in the discharge of their duties to the public, and the Court adjourned. WARWICKSHIRE SESSIONS. MILL OF Tin MUNIATOX 1110TiRS. JoFut Thomas, Thomas Suffolk, and "earls Moreton, labourers of Nuneaton, were indicted for riotously assembling, with several other persons (more then 100), in the parish of Nuneaton, on the 6th of September last, breaking into the house of Joseph Parker, and seizing John Freeman Taylor, placing him upon an ass, pared lug him through the streets, and violently maltreating bins. Moreton pleaded Guilty, the other two Not Guilty. John Freeman Taylor, examined by Mr. HILL—I am ware houseman to Messrs. Bankes, ribbon-weavers of Coventry and London ; there has been a great depression in the price of the ma nufactured article, and consequent reduction in the wages of the workmen. On the 16th September I was at the house of Joseph Parker, at Nuneaton, at half-past ten in the morning ; a mob assem bled round the door, having an ass with them ; they shouted out, "We have got him ha here." I ordered the door to be locked, and it was locked • they cried out to Parker , " If you don't turn Taylor out, we'll break open the door." This violence lasted about an hour ; they broke the door off the hinges, and got in ; I was in a wor kshop at the top of the house ; the moment the door was brokers open I heard a shout, and thirty or forty per sons rushed up stairs; at this time Thomas and Suffolk were there ; I stood at the top of the stairs with a spindle in my hand, and I threatened that I would run it through the first man that came up ; Thomas was near the top, and Suffolk was also on the stairs. A man below Thomas (about four steps from me) with a bill-hook in his hand, said, " If I can get at him, I'll cut him down.' I said I did not wish to hurt any one, an d I threw away the spindle. I retreated to the back of the room, and said I wished to speak to them; they rushed on me, and said I had been to the parish officers, and had stopped their pay. I dro n ed it; it was not true. They said I was a liar, and Thomas and Suffolk collared me. They dragged me to the top of the stain; I took held of ;the rail, it broke, and we fell down a flight of 14 stairs. Five or six other persons fell upon me, and I was much bruised. I sat on a bed, and said •' Don't murder me out right." Thomas and Suffolk seized me again, and pushed me down the second flight. They then dragged me into the street, placed me on an ass with my head towards the ass's head, and held me on. There were 400 or 500 persons present; there was a great shouting. They took me up to Abbey-street, through the Meadow, into Abbey-end, where they pulled me off, and placed me with my face towards the tail, and some one gave me the tail to hold as a bridle. In Black-street some one pulled me backwards over the ass's head, and I fell between two carts. They mounted me again, when Mr. Taylor, the constable of Nuneaton, came on horseback, and rescued me. The jour ney lasted three quarters of an hour, during which all kinds of filth were thrown on me ; my clothes were quite spoiled. Thomas said, " We'll keep you on till six o'clock at night ; and they'd break my b—y neck, so that I should never are Co ventry any more." At Abbey Bud, Joseph Moreton put a dog on my back, and some loose silk on my head and ears, and stuffed some into my mouth. I was unwell for three weeks, and am still extremely nervous. In answer to a question by the prisoner Thomas, whether be (witness) bad not offered to give Thomas a quart of ale to protect him from violence, the witness said, Thomas asked me if I would have some ale. I never said I would give him 6d.if be would not let them hurt me. _ Joseph Parker—l remember the !aft witness being in my house, and the people coming in. I doe't know that any of the prisoners were in my house. I know them. Thomas and Suffolk are brick. makers ; Moreton is a shoemaker. Wm. Taylor, High Constable of Nuneaton—l rescued Freeman Taylor from the mob. I can only identify Thomas ; he was in the mob, following the ass. There were several hundreds present, making a great noise. There was no insult offered to me or to the man after I got there. Grwrge Pegg—l saw the prosecutor paraded on the ass. I saw Thomas and Suffolk there. This alined the case for the prosecution. The prisoners (Tho. mat and Suffolk) had no Counsel. On being called on for their defence, Thomas said I have nothing more to say, only that he offered me a quart of ale to take care of him. Suffolk said that Taylor bad fetched a warrant for six, and that be bad let three of them off fur money; but because they (the pri soners) could not pay, they were to be punished for all. Mr. Taylor positively denied this. The three persons who were released were the men to whom the donkey belonged—his son, who put the tail of the donkey to the witness fur a bridle. and a lad who led the donkey. Mr. firming, the Magistrate. released these three, because the owner of the ass declared be did not know what his ass had been taken for ; and the other two were mere boys, whom the Magistrate thought were sufficiently punished by their confinement for a few days at Atberstone. So far from his having accepted money to release any one, he bad re fused to take money, which Moreton's [Blends offered if he would nut prosecute him. The Cnantaws said, he thought the Jury could have no doubt that the prisoners had been guilty of as gross au outrage as ever was committed upon one of his Majesty's subjects. If. however, they had any doubt, they would give the prisoners the benefit of it. The Joey immediately found them Grilty. The CHAIRMAN, in delivering the WHOM' of the Court, said, during the whole period he had acted as a Masiatntit is that Court, be hid never met with so atrocious a ease as the present. The Court felt it was their duty to make a signal example of such offenders, and they were determined to execute that duty. With to spect to Moreton, be did not pppear to have been in the house, nor to have personally participated in the violence committed upon Taylor; his punishment, therefore, although severe, would not be so much so as that of Thews and Suffolk. The two latter the Court sentenced to two years imprisonment and hard labour in the goal, and Moreton to six calendar months' imprisonment and bard labour in gaoL Wm. Bird, John Hawkins, Thomas Jackson, Thomas Hadley, and Win. Cole, were convicted of having riotously assembled, with divers other persons, to the number of more than 100, in the parish of Stoneleigb, near Cevenuy,on the 15th of September last, on the premises of Mr. Richard Woodcock, a stocking manufacturer, used violent threats, assaulted his servant, and committed great devasta tion on Ms house and garden. The sentence of the Court was, that Wm. Bird be imprisoned in goal, and kept to bard labour, for twelve months ; Cole, Hadley, and Howkins, for four months each ; and Jackson (on account of his youth) for only two months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday, a well-dressed youth, named Henry Teier, was brought up, charged with stealing a parcel, containing 54 silk hand kerchiefs, the property of Mr. Thomas Hooper, in St. Martin'. Court. _ . . It appeared that on Wednesday morning last, at an early hour, while Mr. Hooper's shopman was opening the shop, the prisoner and another lad were seen loitering about, but no suspicion was entertained of them. At length the prisoner contrived to slip into the shop, and steal the parcel in question, with which be and his companion got off. This was seen by a neighbour, who, however, thought at the time that the boys were legitimately employed about the premises. From the description given of his person the prisoner was apprehended yesterday among a gang of notorious thieves, in one of the condemned houses near St. Martin's Church, where it seems they were in the habit of congregating for the pur pose of planning their robberies. His identity was positively sworn to; and a handkerchief, corresponding with some of those stolen, was found about his neck. He had nothing to say, and was retnanded.—Ford, the jailor, said the prisoner was one of the most cunning and daring young thieves in London, and be bad been twice convicted at the West minster Sessions. _ _ . _ _ _ _ A poor old man who had lost a hand, came before Sir R. Stuns, and, in a Scottish accent, asked if he would be so kind as to put him into the way of getting a petition placed in the hands of his Majesty the King on his behalf. Sir R. liuma—A petition to the King, my friend—en what subject? Applicant—Why, Sir, I was for many yaws at sea, fighting for the King, in whose service I lost my hand, and since I came home I have heard that considerable property was bequeathed to me. A very rich man at Glasgow has got it into his possession, and he re fuses to give it up to me. Sir It. Blasts—Was there a will? Applicant—l be li eve so, Sir ; but be is very rich and lam v ery poor, and can't get at it. Sir R. Brass—l cannot assist you, my good fellow, nor wou!4 the King interfere even if you got a petition presented to him. Applicant—What ! not after losing a hand in his service !
