Now, h did not endorse the opinion of Mr. Allaop, who seemed to be a wild enthusiast. But he had not said more than many Ministers had said. He proceeded—" H o is not likely to give much more trouble, even if he should escape the retribution he so richly merits. If I was in California now I would at once double the amount offered by Lander to the man who should perform an act of j ustice on that most wretched caitiff." He was alluding to a letter by Mr. Lender, which at that time was attracting great public attention. "He must be killed," the letter went on to say, "and with him the system which be seems to be necessary to keep up." Now, because Mr. Allsop wrote the opinion of a wild enthusiast in January, 1857, was that any proof that Dr. Bernard shared in them ? On the contrary, Rogers the spy said the apaech he had heard Bernard make was not worth a report, but this letter was road in evidence against the prisoaer on a charge of murder.

If a letter which was found in a man's posses• sion wore to be proof of murder, was there a member of the House of Commons, or a man devoted to literature, or a journalist, who migirt have a letter or a pamphlet, which he read or did not read, counselling assassination, who would be safe ? He be'itved that at first some of their lord shi psthought that the letter was da's 1l et Jan., 1858. In that case the letter would have been material ; but it was, January, 1857. The letter went on to say, " I shall be glad to hear of Orsini's progress." Orsini had been lectur ing iu Edinburgh_ and Glasgow, and no doubt it was to that that he alluded. • He now came to the other letter that was found on the 7th of April, 1857, in which the only expression that called for remark was as to "the red and company." Why, was there any thing in that expression which exceeded in violence the terms applied in what were called the tory days to the radicals in this country? This letter was about as harmless a letter as ever was written by oue gentleman to another. Next he came to that part of the case on which the Crown mainly rested, the evidence of Mrs. Rudio. Their c ' , se would be this :—" Radio was a man in distress. We may imagine him a ready tool in your hands. You hired him not for any expedition for Orsini, but for this particular murder." That must be their case or none. What expedition Rudio had been engaged in with Orsini they did not know. Those who could explain that were no more. The manner in which the woman Rudio, tutored as she had been by the police, and under tha surveillance of Rogers and Saunders for so long a time, gave her evideti4e,'did her credit. Radio, it was clear, had been. intimate- with Orsini ; he had received charity frorni Orsini ; and who could tell what was the expedition upon which Radio was engaged—Orsini, who was dead ; Radio, who was in the prison of France, and the prisoner at the bar—all of whom had their mouths closed. audio might have been brought over to give evidence, and the threat that he might have been discharged here by habeas was idle, as he might have been re-demanded under the extra dition treaty. The whole of the evidence was consistent with the supposition that the grenades were intended not for the assassination of the Emperor of France, but to be used against the F, each army in an expedition for the re generation of Italy. The number of grenades ordered-- sixty-six—and the quantity of fulminating pow ler, wholly bore out that idea ; and the explanation was that Orsini, in a moment of impulse, used them in the unfortunate attempt of the 14th of January against the Emperor. Had Rudio's evidence been confirmatory of the view taken by the prosecution, he would doubtless have been pro duced ; but the probability was that had he been called, he would have proved that the prisoner knew nothing of the attempted assassination, but that he was privy to an intended expedition for the liberation of Italy. That being so, Rudio was not forthcoming. If there was much of the P evidence consistent with the case the Crown wished to b make out ; yet if there was much of it also inconsistent o with the guilt of the prisoner, he could not be convicted.

[The following is a more extended report of the brilliant speech delivered by Mr. James than appeared in our im pression of yesterday :---] Mr. James at once proceeded to address the j my for the defence, but in so low a tone of voice that his opening sentences were quite inaudible in the reporter; box. He Was understood to commence by urging upon the attention of the jury the grave importance of the case, and remind ing them that in its discussion, and in the verdict they were about to pronounce, was involved consequences the most serious, not only to public and private liberty in this country, but to the cause of freedom and of civilisation , throughout the world. It had ever been the boast—and no idle or empty boast it was—that it was the duty as well as the pleasure of the English bar to render assistance to the weak against the strong, to the oppressed as against the oppressor. From that very spot from which he now spoke the names of Erskine, of Brougham, and of Denman, had shed the lustre of their eloquence in pleading the cause of those against whom had been brought to bear the influence of the Crown for asserting the liberty of the subject. It mi g ht he said, as was by the Roman orator—" Insignia mcestia pietsidium reis." And last, but not least—if he might be peemitted to say it in the presence of a judge whose great learning and sound judgment adorned the bench—in the last State trial that had taken place the eloquence of Pollock shed lustre upon the cause he espoused. The present ease came before the court under peculiar cir cumstances. His learned friend the Attorney-General had opened the case with the moderation and calm dignity which became its importance and his own high position as a minister of justice; but he could not but remark that in that opening there was a portentous silence upon one point—his learned friend omitted altogether to explain how it was that now for the first time in the annals of our jurisprudence a case of this nature had boon brought before an English jury. His learned friend had never explained how it was, before they were asked to find a verdict—how it was that, at the bidding of those who were not con tent with the blood of Orsini and Pierri, they were asked to stain an English scaffold with the blood of the pri soner at the bar. It was right they should have it distinctly stated on what principle it w as, on what ground it was, that this prosecution was based upon this particular act of Parliament, which he trusted he e ahould be Able to show was perverted, and wrested from fie object which those who framed it had in view, to serve a purpose of which they never dreamed. Nor was this his opinion only. It was the opinion of the most eminent jurists of the country at the present moment. He wanted to know how it was that an act of Parliament which had, never before been made applicable to such circumstances was thus put in force against the prisoner at the bar. The Attorney-General had observed a significant silence on this point, and had carefully abstained from all allusion to the act of Parliament, or to the circumstances which had brought about this extraordinary prosecution. He should be able to satisfy the jury that this was a prosecution not on account of an , injury of which her Majesty had to com plain, or of which any B ritish subject had to complain . — but it was a prosecution directed by foreign dictation, to bring about a state of political subserviency to foreign go vernments, which the Government of this country had not the courage to subm it to the English House of Commons and to the English people. The consequence was that the Treasury solicitor had been directed to ransack the archives of Parliament to find an act un der which a prosecution and a conviction cou ld be obtained for the crime of wilful murder against a man—not to vindicate justice, but to gratify a political object, which the Government of the day wanted the cou ra g e to submit to the consideration of the English people and the Commons House of Parliament. The Attorney-General had told the court nothing of the origin of this prosecu tion. He had listened in vain to hear how it had come about --how it was that a charge of con spiracy had been brought a g ains t the gentlemian at the bar - -and he was a gentlema n b y birth, education, and sta tion—that charge having be en hanging over him for many, many days, and prosecuted with all that ingenuity which distinguished one of the ablest criminal lawyers at the bar, his learned friend Mr. Bodkin—how it was that after the case had been heard and reheard before the magis trate, and the evidence brought for ward in support of it published all over Europe, the advocate of the Crown had said, " Let us take that evidence" which he (Mr ' James) considered was not evidence that could he received • on a charge of wilful murder--" let us take that evidence, and speculate upon the chances of conviction upon the more serious charge of murder—let us try and get a verdict against the prisoner on the capital charge, and that perhaps will relieve us from a disagreeable political difficulty." Let them stop for a momout to inquire into the origin of this transaction. As they all knew an attempt was made upon the life of the Emperor Napoleon on the 14th of Jan. 1"55. The jury had had pictured to them by the Attorney• General the vast injury—death in some instances, wounds in others—that was occasional by this attempt of Orsini's, and though all that his learned friend had said in that re spect mightbe true, the jmy must not forget that it in no way concerned the prisoner. The prisoner was not present nor had it been shown that he had taken any part in in stigating, or that he had participated in any way in that most criminal transaction. He needed not to be reminded of the horror and detestation with which every English man regarded the crime of assassination. He was not there to say a word in palliition of a crime so cowardly, dark and dastardly as assassination. He would not on that occasion (for it was not necessary) enter into any discussion of a question that attracted the attention of philosophers of all nations whether it was right to get rid of a tyrant by death. But there was so much horror attached to the crime of as sassination that every Englishman shuddered at it. Ho could not do better than quote from the speech of one of the most brilliant advocates of the French bar, M. Jules Fevre, who defended Orsini, and thank God liberty of speech lingered at that bar, though - the press was no longer free. The learned gentleman here quoted from M. Jules Favre's ad dress in defending Orsini the passage in which he con demned assassination, but said of despotism, " God re serves for despots a fate more dreadful than the machi nations of the assassin." This was not only the view of an eloquent man and a philosopher, but it was a truth which all history taught, and though Providence in its wisdom might for a time permit tha despot to trample upon the liberties of a free people, there re mained for him an inevitable retribution more certain than the dagger of the assassin. To suppose that any English advocates, or any English jury would regard, assassination as a thing under any circumstances to be tolerated orjusti fied, was not ti know the feeling s by which Englishmen and English courts of justice were actuated ; still, looking at all the features of the case, it was perhaps possible to understand the sentiment that lingered in the minds of Italia' s whose liberties had been destroyed by a lalasting and withering despotism—they might possibly understand the existence of a sentiment in the minds of those men whose liberties had been destroyed and trampled upon, which, thank God, we who enjoyed the blessings of a con stitutional Government, and were ruled by a Sovereign who reigned in the hearts of her people, could never share. Though we might have a natural horror of the crime of assassination, we could understand that a people who were oppressed and tyrannised over — who wo re robbed of their liberties by foreign tyranny, might be justified in availing themselves of every means to throw o ff the yoke. Well. this desperate attempt of Orsini's having become known in L indon and throughout Europe, then came the demand on the part of France to deliver up the exiles who had gained an asylum in England. This was followed by the thr.eaten ing language of the French generals, published in the ilfoniteur, and next came the speech of Louis Napoleon's ambassador to the citizens of Loudon. L ord Palmerston', Government was pressed by the demands of a ma n . who had himself found an asylum in this country from political persecution. Then came a proposal on the part of Lord Palmerston to the House of Commons of the Conspiracy Bill. Let them trace up these matters (which were fresh in their recollection) one after the other, and say whether it was not clear that a political purpose was to be answered by this prosecution, the object the Government had in view being to concede in this way to the demands of a fo reign despot that which they dared not ask the House of Commons to sanction. Well, Lord Palmerston introduced the Conspiracy Bill to the House of Commons, but Lord Palmerston's Government was wrecked upon that measure on the motion of his (Mr. James's) hon. friend, Mr. Gibson. The noble and learned lord who was now presid ing inthat court judicially, exercising his undoubted privi lege in the House of Lords, declared his opinion distinctly as to the power of the English law in dealing with cases such as that bill was intended to meet—from which, how ever, a very able lawyer in the House of Commons, the late Attorney-General, differed. It became a subject of discussion whether or not the law of England enabled the Government to comply with the demand made upon it by the Emperor of the French to give up those foreign exiles which he chose to demand—and the result of that discus sion was that the Conspiracy Bill was rejected by the House of Commons, and a statesman whose name should never be mentioned without veneration and respect in the presence of any assembly attached to the principles of civil and religious freedom—Lord John Russell—said that he should consider it a shame and a lasting disgrace to the people of England if such a measure were passed. Nor was that feeling confined to the noble lord-- it was shared iu by a large majority of the English House of Commons, who rejected a bill against which the genius of the English people rebelled. Lord Palmerston's goverument was wrecked upon that measure—and the House of Commons, firm in its constitutional strength, resisted the demands of one whose dictation might have more effect when directed I against the comparatively weaker states of Sardinia or Switzerland. The bill was rejected. Lord Pahnerston's government was wrecked, and Lord Derby's Government succeeded—but this prosecution went on. Lord Palmer ston's government was thrown out on the 19th February. At that time the proceedings in this case were going on, the prisoner having been arrested on the 14th. On thel3th of March, weeks and weeks after the prisoner bad been in custody, and after he had been repeatedly examined on the charge of conspiracy—a charge in reference to which the opinion of lawyers differed, whether he could be con victed or not, without ransacking the statute-book for , some forgotten musty old act of Pa rliament — on the 13th ' March, for the first time, the counsel for the Crown get up and stated in the pollee-court that the charge of conspiracy on which all the evidence had been given, was to be—not abandoned, but cast aside for the moment, and upon that evidence, which he (Mr. James) contended was not admis sible upon a charge of wilful murder—under a d statute that was never intended to apply to aces° of this kin, the charge of wilful murder was founded. On March 13 the prisoner was charged with having been an accessory before the fact to the crime of murder, and the attempt was made to pro ceed against him for the penalty of death. Let them see what had taken place between the time of the commence ment of the prosecution and March 13. Lord Derby had succeeded to power. What was he to dot The House of Commons had virtually declared, we will not pass this Conspiracy Bill. Lord Pahneraton's Government had been wrecked and shattered upon it. Lord Derby knew very well that he could not again submit it to the House of Com mons. What, then, was to be done ? The demand of the Emperor Napoleon had been made—the Conspiracy Bill had been brought in to please him; but the House of Com• mons rejected it---they would have nothing to do with it Something must be done, so the Treasury lawyers were directed to ransack the statute book for some musty act, which somebody or otherhad heard of, upon which to found a special commission, to try whether they could enforce an act of Parliament that was no more intended by its framers to apply to a case such as this than it was to bring any one of the jury who were trying it within the meshes of an in dictment for treason. By the Conspiracy Bill it was at tempted to abolish the right of asylum, which was odious to and rendered miserable every continental despot. The Government could not proceed with the Conspiracy Bill, for the Rouse of Commons rejected it. An able criminal lawyer, Mr. Bodkin, who had been conducting for weeks and weeks an inquiry against the prisoner on the charge of conspiracy, turned round on March 13, and, not abandon ing the charge of conspiracy —because they would see pre sently it was hanging over the prisoner's head, but Lord Derby, not daring to bring the bill into the House of Com mons, and the Government feeling that the difficulty must be got rid of—on the 1311 of March, for the first time, Mr. Bodkin made this charge against the pri over, and it Ras determined that the prisoner should be tried under a special commission. Was not that an outline of the history of this case-? Now, this act of parliament under which the prisoner was charged had nothing to do with the case, and had no bearing upon it ' • it was intended to apply to a to tally different state of things. They - bad heard tho legal points which he had submitted to the judges, who would reserve them if their verdict should ever make that neces sary. The act of parliament under which this prisoner was indicted he would show, when he came to that part of the case, was never intended for such a case as this. But this was an experiment on the part of the Crown, to see if, with their aid, the Government could be delivered from their difficulty, and if the right of asylum of the foreign exiles in this country could be destroyed by means of their verdict. His friend the Attorney-General was silent about that part of the case; he had filled up that space which his learned friend let t vacant, and their hearts and consciences would tell them whether he had right fully done so, and they would decide upon the matter. He was saying that they could not fairly appreciate the feelings which animated men the liberties of whose coun try had been suppressed and destroyed, they might imagine them, hut they could not realise them. Were they to won der, then, that Italians, who had seen the liberties of their country utterly prostrated, could they wonder that the Ita lian, who perhaps had some nilic in his heart of Roman cou rage, should desire to take meascres for the deliverance of his country? Was not allowance to be made for men is such circumstances ? The attempt which was made upon the life of the Emperor Napoleon was madechiefly by Italians; and those who were familiar with contemporaneous history-- knew that everything like freedom of opinion—freedom, be might almost say, of action— was utterly destroyed in Italy. The French army kept the Pope upon his throne. Italy, the seat of the Roman Republic, the mistress of the world in the middle ages, having municipal institutions which we had loved to imitate—ltaly, the birthlideee lie might say, almost of liberty, barbecome now , as retarded' freedom, & political waste and desert. And although they could not sanction, perhaps, the combinations which these men en tered into, they must look at all the circumstances of the case, and any attempt to restore their liberties by an organi sation of warfare against a tyrent who was oppressing them —where there was no crime of assassination—any organisa tion on the part of the oppressed against the tyrant had ever been sanctioned in this veuntry. Whenever they had found a French revolution succeed, journalists who had before written against it had lauded the patriots who had risen and thrown 011 the yoke. So much for Italy and the feel ings of Italians who were exiles from their country. Then take for one moment France, and sketch her history very shortly. See her position now, and let them try if they could to appreciate the sentiments of Frenchmen. Ever since the mighty revolution of 17 , 9, the excesses of which every philosopher and every human being deplored—ever since that mighty revolution which overthrew the dynasty of the Bourbons, there had been contending for the throne of France, the elder branch of the Bourbons, the Orleanists, and the Napoleon family ; besides which there was the great Republican party. Thank God, in this country, living under the undisputed sway of a sovereign whom we all loved and adored, we could not well appreciate the feelings of Frenchmen, but that country had for year! been kept in a state of politicel excitement and uneasiness. The Bourbon had been plotting against the Orlesuist, both had been plotting against the Emperor, and the republican party had been anxious for the assertion of their feelings on liberty. These four parties had kept Franco in a state of political emba rrassmen t f rom 1781 to the moment that he was LOW a dd ress i ng th em. I n 1143 the government of Louis Philippe was upset, and a republic was established. Louis Napoleon, who from this country hal male an at tempt on the government of Louis Philippe in 1810, threw himself upon the free will, or, as he called it, the sove reignty of the people and was elected President of the Republic by fir millions of votes, whereby he was placed in the grandest position that ever was filled by man. What might he. have done, placed as he was at the head of a constitutional government, and surrounded by the halo of a great name ? Louis Philippe and he changed places. Louis Napoleon, from being a political exile in England, became the heal of a constitutional govern ment of France, and Louis Philippe, who had been at the head of a constitutional Government in France, became a political exile in England. So much f o r the asylum which the Conspiracy Bill of Lord Palmeriton sought to destroy, and which they were asked by their verdict utterly to an nihilate. Louis Napoleon had been an exile in Switzer lan], which country they would remember had refused to give him up, notwithstanding the threats of Louis Philippe; he had been exiled in America, ant then he sought a re fuge on the shores of Eng'aad ; and from the banks of the Rhine and the constitutional shores of England he had enunciated those principles of liberty which induced the enlightened people of France tooentide their political desti- i ems in his hands. Placed at the heal of a oonstitutionalGo vernment, he swore to maintain inviolate the freedom of France, and before the oath was cod on his lips he violated it. (Cheers, which were immodistely suppressed.) His learned friend the Attorney-General had tried to enlist their feelings by talking of 516 wounds which were inflicted on the byestandere on the 11th of Jan. ; but let him call their attention to the 2d December, Ibsl. Talk of wounds ! Why, on the 2d December, 1851, the drunken French sol diers were turned loose upon an unresisting mob, and men, women, and children were indiscriminately slaughtered. Louis Napoleon had determined that he would not govern constitutionally any longer. There were men in Paris then who were more attached to order than himself, for they had never been guilty of treasonable practices against the exist ing government. Thera was Cavaignac, than whom no man ever did more to maintain order in Franco, and than whom a greater patriot and a greater lover of constitutional freedom never lived ; and there were Changarnier and Thiere, and l'm who were lovers of order, but who w a ere °rici equallye a I n OW I e ß r e s du o e f a co ' nstitutional government. On the t e h m is b p e r r o e s encfu the h i o e n r t e v p a r s e i e n e s n t ta i t u t v e e d , a w s i s t e h m o b u l t y r e t a n s o t n e , 2d Dec., 1851, Louis Napoleon, by whom, he trusted he bad show nc s a i 1 e e dd thorn, in h t e h m ir beds, and confined in gaol. Without cause and without reason his drunken soldierybroke into the Cour de Caseation, where the judges of the court were sitting, and where au accusation of treason was being made against him, and these soldiery turned the judges into the streets. He erected himself a throne, and that went through the mockery of an election. Upon that occasion, and he was speaking from history well known, frem able letters from Paris, which were published in the journals, thousands of persons were sent to gaol without trial, and transported to the arid plains of Algiers, or to the deadly marshes of Cayenne. Such had been the conductof the man who was the prosecutor in this case, and the/ were asked to con vict this prisoner under some absurd aid ridiculous threats that we were to have a war if he war not executed. The prisoner was charged with being an accessory before the fact of the murder of Nicholas Bettie. Of course ho was not there to contend that if the prisoner and Oreini con spired to kill one person, and in the attempt to kill him kilied another, he was not liable ; bat of course this par ticular occurrence mut t b o proved to their satisfaction, and it must be shown to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt, that this crime was " instigated, counselled, and planned," which he believed, were the terms of the in dictment, by tle prisoner That was the charge which the Government bad undertaken to profs; and if it was con sistent, as he would show them it vas, with the whole of this case, twat the prisoner had Waring whatever to do with this attack upon Napoleon, but that he believed that what they were about to be engaged in was an insurrec tion for the restoration of liberty in Italy, then, according to the d , ctum of one of the most able judges who ever sat on the Eaglish bench —Ur. Baron Alderson—the prisoner with such de stroy the hypothesis o f gu i lt. " An d what did th ey m ust be acquitted. M r . B aron Al d erson said, "If th e 7 found a state of things cons i sten t with the prisoner s but inconsistentunimportant prisoner in was iil a so ; theoiitihts the wouldperson,ni guilty t that t on committing h conclusion, anye snituh g t ei h e r et howeverha c a t, the circumstancethanu p rove I They proved t o the sat i s f ac ti o n of the jury— for it must come to them at tart, as the great sanc tuary of freedom and of life —that he instigated and coun selled this eineute— that he w as a party to sending the grenades which he (Ur. James) said wore intended for any other object than an attack upon the life of Napoleon. if they found that many of the facts, as he should show - and they had never been disputed —wore consistent with both suppositions, and, as he should show, that the assas sination of the Emperor ha I never crossed the prisoner's mind, but that whenever he had expressed an opinion on the subject, as he did to King, it was that on Orsini's re turn Italy would be free, they would not be justified in finding the prisoner guilty. Baron Aldersou laid it down —he was quoting Irons " Russell on Crimes," vol. 2, p. 727--that " where an indictment f p r murder was supported entirely on circumstantial evidence, and no fact amounting only that the circumstances the act, but that they t pw o roi p re ou r e nc s eo u ra na gs i p us i t tle i t o lyl n t, o bw f ei at guilt, ttihei6s e t cd h o, e mn j etn u t r i y et must, before finding the were inconsistent with the conclusio n that any ether than the prisoner was the g uilt y p erson ; aid that a single circumstance inconsi stent with such a conclusion was more Nor was there any difference between civil and crimina l cases, except that in t he former the de gree of probability mi g ht be more safel y adopted , property only being iu que stion, than in the l atter , which affected important of g u than dt all the rest, because it d es t roye d th e hypo life." They must be satisfied in their hearts sod in their consciences, before they consigned the prisoner at the bar to an English scaffold, that he was a party in instigating this particular murder. Now ho held that the facts were inconsistent with that view. No doubt they had proof that a murder had been committed in Paris—no doubt that Rudio and Gomez used t he wea p ons with which they had e a Em di p ff e e r r o e r n — t n P o li d rP oul e t of that. But the . to commit a sud den come a t p t r a o e v k i duepdn,nf the prosecution sought to establish the charge against the prisoner by three general propositious, and although their witnessea were extremely num erous, many of them having been brought forward to establish t hat which nobody disputed, viz. the facts of the murder in Paris — they would fir:el a vast deal of that evidence inapplicable to the three propositions he referred to, and which, as not bearing upon the salient points of the case, might be rejected from consideration. His teemed friend the Attorney-General made out first a connection between the prisoner and All sop, the Englishman, and through him with the grenades, which, it would be rernembere,d, were ordered by Allsop, and, if they pleased to say so, paid fur by him in the months of October and November. They wore ordered on the Gth of October, and delivered on the 23d of Novem ber, Tho Crown sought to establish the connection with the prisoner by means of these grenades, and the case was this —" You," they said to the prisoner, " went to 0 corgi, who was keeping the Cafe Suisse in London, a n d as k e d him to takeover the grenades to Brunets." Now no one could doubt that in this part of their case the Govern lent bad utterly failed ; and the woman whom they had celled on the previous day, and whom they had brought over at the last moment from Brussels, had not only not proved their case, but had proved the direct contrary. But when they sought to make out the connection by means of the grenades ordered by Allsop of:Taylor, of Birmingham, and by the delivery of them to George to be carried to Brus sels, they must establish the identity of the grenades, or there wee ho me. It m ust be proved to the netiefection of the j my beyond doubt that those grenades which were made by Taylor in Birmingham, and which it was proved did the mischief in Paris, were those which passed through Dr. Bernard's hands. The Biz grenades manufactured by Taylor wera those that did the mischief. How was it at tempted to trace these grenades to the hand of the prisoner at the bar. Here were the grenades (exhibiting the speci mens in court to the jury.) Taylor, it appeared, made six of them. There were two sizes, one three and the other four inches inAiameter. Now, everyone of the six grenades made by Taylor had 25 holes, and he begged especial atten tion to this point. These six grenades were accounted for in this way. One was found upon Pierri entire, one was found in the track of Orsini ; three explosions were heard at the time of the attack, which accounted for three more ; and one, it was suggested, was used for experiment, and not take's by Pierri, making the sixth. The prosecution, in malting out their case, endeavoured to trace from Mr. Taylor's: manufactory these grenades with 25 holes which did the mischief ; and in the course of doing so, it was sought to implicate the prisoner by his visits to Rudie's house in Batoman's-buildings the moment a difficulty arose in the course of the examination as to the number of the holes. It was perfectly clear that they had not connected the prisoner with any knowledge of these particular gre nades. The prisoner believed that2certain instruments were to be used for a general rising for the liberation of Italy. That he admitted ; but he had never had a part in the de livery or conveyance of these particular missiles by means of which the murder had been committed. Witnesses had been tempted to prove by falsehood that be had. Let them see how the evidence established, not that these were the grenades given by the prisoner to Georgi, but the direct negative of that proposition. The first evidence with which they had to deal was Georgi's. He (Mr. James) ab horred imputing perjury to any man ; nor was he about to do so on the present occasion ; but he could not forget that this witness came before them under very peculiar circum stances, and they found that he had a most elastic memory. At the present moment there was a mandat d'arret—a state warrant hanging over the head of the witness; a,nd he hoped that after his evidence was given, and he had helped to!convict the unhappy prisoner at the bar, to go back to Brussels, and find that affair settled —" arranged," as he expressed it in his evidence. See what cause hehad to make his evidence agreeable to those by whom he had been brought there. He had been arrested—had been 26 days in prison on a charge arising out of thii affair. And now he was sent over here to give his evidence before an Eng lish jury with a Brussels State warrant hanging over his .head, issued at the instigation of the Emperor of the French, who he knew well would leave no stone unturned to in sure his conviction, unless he bought immunity by his tes timony in the present case._ He asked the jury to look at these grenades. Could they have them in their hands once without being struck by the peculiarity of their construc tion f Examine the top of the cylinder and the space that was occupied by the 25 holes. What said this witness! The articles produced as specimens were like this (the model exhibited). The articles which he brought as speci mens were like this (one of the hand grenades), but they had hot the screw at the end. He showed me five, but they were not all the same size. Tho specimens he showed me consisted of tire halves of the instrument produced. There were three of the upper half of the shell, and two of the lower half. The latter had several nipple holes, but there were no nipples in the holes ; the surface was perfectly smooth. The upper halves had a hole in them, but they were without the screw. "There were not so m any holes as inthis." That was in his deposition. In his cross-examination he said— " I saw no balls with 25 holes in each. There might have been one with 5 or 6. I never counted them. I might have seen ono with 5 or 6 holes, but I will not swear." Then the Attorney-General moat fairly—and no ono could have discharged the duty which bad devolved upon him with more fairness or humanity than his hon. and learned friend had evinced in this case—got up and said to him : " But were there not 25 holes?" This, bo it remembered, was after the witness had distinctly sworn to 5 or 6 holes. The thought of the mandat d'arret flashed on his mind, as a sword hang ing in the air, and he immediately swore up to 23. No doubt this man was under great temptation to stretch his memory, which appeared naturally servile and elastic, and remembering before he left the b , a that his testimony would not be sufficient unless he swore up to 25 he did so. (A learned gentleman at the table—No; 15.) He (Mr. James) was wrong ; he found that the witness only swore up to 15. The next witness called was Fourmarier, the boy waiter at the Cafe Suisse. He said, " There were ten halves, and they appeared to be of three kinds ; two of them had small boles in them. There were so many as 20 or 25 of these holes in some of them. Five of the holes were about the size of the one now produced, and I think there was a screw in every one of them." Upon his cross examination be would not swear to 25 or to 15. " Will you say," asked his learned friend Mr. Hawkins, " that there were ten ?" "There may have been more, perhaps fewer," was the reply; " I don't know." He next came to the evi dence of Reghenzi. That witness not only failed to sup port the case of the crown. but proved directly the contrary. Re was in a different position from Georgi—he had no state warrant hanging over his head. He was free from police control or state prosecution, and he was at liberty to speak the truth, without risk or danger to his life or Liberty wheu he returned. Pie said— " I made a drawing of the article when it was fresh in my memory, but the specimen put into my hand does not bring back to my mind the same descrip tion of article"—that was the article of which he made a drawing while it was fresh in his memory. There was in the drawing seven holes. Here was the evidence of three wit nesses. Now, he would take the testimony of Casimir Zeguers. It appeared that certain articles were given to him to convey to France, and there could be no question the . ; this man did convey to Franca the articles that did thelniachief. He had more opportunity of examining the balls than the other witnesse.. He saw them on the man tel-piece in the smoking-room of the cafe. He took them out one by one in halves, and ho could not, therefore, fail ta observe how the top of the cylinder was riddled with holes. He took them out one by one at the frontier; he put them back again one by one, and he took them out again when he gave them to Orsini at Paris. He bad thus four distinct opportunities of examining them. He said, " They were of this description, but I did not observe any holes in them." But this being a witness fur the Crown, the question then arose, what had been his opportunities ; and having had full opportunities 'of examining them, the evidence of this witness not only could not satisfy the jury of the identity, but altogether disproved the fact of their being the same articles at all. Such was the position in which the case for the prosecution stood on Wednesday night. The witnesses to identity had faded, and had proved the direct contrary of what was required of them. Then another witness was sent for. That ever übiquitous Saunders was sent over for the female witness who was ex amined yesterday. She made a drawing, which was un fortunately left behind, but which by the way was attached to the deposition which Saunders had brought over. The deposition was here, but the drawing was left behind at Brussels. The Attorney-General—lt was not attached. Mr. James ---But it was given beyond all doubt to the juge d'iustruction. The Attorney-General—lt was produced before the British consul ; the deposition} was before the j age Win struction. Mr. James said her drawing was not produced, but sho said she counted them, and there were 25 holes. Then were they to suppose that Reghenzi could have made a drawing and not have seen the holes ? This link in the chain of evidence was wanting. The case for the prosecu tion was that Taylor made the grenades at Birmingham, and that Dr. Bernard was shown to have been in possession of them. He said they had failed in showing that, but, on the contrary, the instruments which were seen in the pri soner's possession were proved not to have been grenades, and the prosecution had not only cast a doubt, but had utterly negatived the evidence as to the identity of them. And now they came for a moment to the question of the pistols. These pistols were bought by Orsini and Pierri of Mr. Hollis, of Birmingham. He was not there to deny that Orsini was calculating on some great omeute, and was preparing artna for it, and he was not denying that Dr. Bernard contributed in that preparation. But he did deny that Dr. Bernard was aware of this particular attempt. He wished it to be known, that he denied—and it could not be proved because it was not the fact— that he was cognisant of and was privy to this attempt on the life of the Emperor, but that he and others were assisting Orsini to bring about an emeute he did not deny. That was consistent with every portion of the evidence on the part of the crown, it was consistent with the evidence that he knew he was as sisting in the collection of arms at Paris, but he denied that the intention to murder Napoleon was known to, or was canvassed by him. Well, these pistols were sent, and how were they sent ? King, the keeper of the office of the South Eeastern railway, at Re gent-circus, had known Bernard for some yea s, Bernard went to him and declared to him, openly, that the parcel contained two revolvers to be sent to the house of Outre quin, in his own name and with his own address. That he knew that these arms were to be sent to ?Aria there could be no question, and it was a remarkable characteris tic of all Dr. Bernard's acts in this matter, that there was not one of them in which there was any attempt at con cealment except one, the letter to Mrs. Rudio after tho at tempt. Ho took out the passport for Belgium in his own name and address, the pistols were sent by him, and the notes were changed by him in his own name. When he took the pistols to King, a conversation took place, in which he said that he was a proscrit, and there would be some difficulty, upon which King, who said he had had dealings with Dr. Bernard before, permitted the parcel to go without the usual declaration. King asked him when be thought he should back to his own country, and the se l imner replied, "I shall go back when your ally, to whom you seem so much attached, comes here." He was not dis puting that fire-arms were being collected in France, and that the prisoner was engaged in sending them. But in a fatal moment Orsini and the men who were there made an attempt which everybody regretted. Then there was this letter of Mr. Allsop's of the let of January, 1857. Dr- Bernard was seen with him about rising money in July, 1857, and that was the only time on which he was seen with him. But they were not, as in the time of Sydney, to execute a men because a paper was found in his desk. Their lordships bad de cided that the letter was admissible, and he bowed to that decision, but the effect—the weight of it—was not for their lordships to determine. If a letter written a year ago, found under the table, was to be regarded as proof of the complicity of the prisoner in a transaction of the 14th January, 1858, what man was safe ? Let them see what this letter was? "Riverhead, Kent, January Ist, 1857. My dear doctor,—Many thanks for the two slips which you propose sending to the friends of Italy." He paused here for a moment to remark, that at, the last moment, without any notice to them, a letter from Orsini was put in, and there was an intimation that there was some dark mystery about it ; but of that the jury would judge. But, to revert to the letter from Allsop--" the communications which you propose sending to the friends of Italy." No doubt, there was a vast combination, and, as he said be fore, they could not consider that these men, seeing the liberty that was enjoyed hero, should indulge in aspira tions to procure liberty in their own country. It seemed that some of these men met in a room in Leicester-square, and Rogers, tho spy, spoke of what the prisoner said there. He acknowledged, however, that what the prisoner said amounted to but little, and was not worth a report. The letter went on to say, "I hope that some answers have been received in London. I am glad to learn that any difference of opinion is limited to one point. Difference of opinion is inevitable ; it exists in every army, but unity of action is necessary for success. However, I have every confidence in the future. The abominable miscreaut of. the 2nd of December seem; to have reached his oil . , The evidence of Eliza Cheney, corroborated by Mrs. Rudio, cc , went to show that the destination of Rudio was Italy, not pa France. That was the impression of Dr. Bernard; and hearing of the attempt of the 14th of January, which thl. shocked the whole world, he naturally ra , hed down to Eliza Cneney's house, and soks, " Good God, what has Radio done ?" What so natural that having been en- tE gaged in procuring these grenades for another and so to- le tally different a purpose, he should have felt alarm when he W heard of the purpose to which those missiles had been ap- p( plied. Suppose a man had procured a pistol for another in under the impression that it was to protect hishome against p i housebreakers, and afterwards heard that the man had I I used it for the purpose of murder, would not he, being identified with the pistol by which the deed was committed — l3, feel alarm ? Consistent, therefore, as was the conduct of the prisoner with the case for the Crown, it was also con- I ' l sistent, and thoroughly consistent, with his own. It e' might be urged that the smallness of the number was hi• tl consistent with the supposition that they wore i❑tended h to be used fur the purposes of war; but, that argil. tl ment was answered when the difficulty of introducing into Paris arms intended for a great political . 1 object —an expedition for the regeneration of Italy— spa the absolute necessity that existed of forwarding them , in ■mall parcels. If there was any doubt the prisoner was d entitled to it. They had heard of the letters found on 1)r. Bernard ; had any letters been found on Orsini, or 1 : Tiorri, or Rudio, or Gomez ? They knew the dying decla ration of Orsini, it was consistent with the truth, that Dr. 8 Bernard was engaged in an expedition for the regeneration of Italy, but it was wholly inconsistent with the supposi- t tion that Dr. Bernard was implicated in an attempt to Hs sa,sinate the Emperor of the French. He implored them seriously to consider this fact, that on him was not only no letter or scrap of any letter or document found, but that if there had been any, the French police, which was as perfect now as it was in the days of Fouchd, when wives were bribed to betray their husbands—with all the power of the French police not only was there not found on him any document, but there was not the trace of any letter through the post-office, or any communication which allowed that the prisoner hid any complicity in this fatal enterprise. lam now, said the learned coun sel, corning to the conclusion of my observations en this extraordinary case, and I ask you is this a case in which you will wrest the law and give a verdict of guilty ? Is this a case in which you will consign to death the prisoner at the bar? I should have thought that under the twilight of that morning when Orsini and Pierri expiated their crime on the scaffold enough had been done to vindicate French justice. 1 should have thought that the vengeance of Louis Napoleon, whose insulting demands on Sardinia and Switzerland you have heard so much of, demands which were also made on this country, but which were re slated by the firmness of our Howe of Commons—Lad been satisfied: But ;you have this unfortunate man in dicted for conspiracy and for wilful murder also.- I have a right to say—and it is not merely my opinion, but the opinion of jurists more able than myself—that the Act of Parliament under which ho is indicted does not apply to this case. I believe that as regards the law this trial is a mockery and a sham. The great object of the French government is to establish the principle that the French exile is not protected in this country. It has been the pride of Englishmen that this country is the refuge of all. As Cicero says, " Regutn, popularum, nationum portus et refulgum." We have had exiled kings here ;we have had exiled priests and exiled nobles, We have had monarchs of France in exile here ; and Louie Napoleon him self was an exile here. The object of this prosecution is to make this country no longer the asylum of the exile ; but I trust you will hesitate long before, by your verdict, you bring about such a result. I trust that you will find in this case doubts which will justify, nay compel you to say that the particular crime which is charged is not proved to your satisfaction. It has been a great advantage to this country that it has ever been open to political exiles. The inquisition, the persecutions of Phillip, and the revocation of the edict of Nantes, sent to our shores many who en riched us by their knowledge of manufactures and arts, and from these refugees some of our best citizens, amongst whom I may mention the Laboucheres and the Romillys, have sprung. Will you destroy that asylum which exiles have ever enjoyed, and which I trust they will ever con tinue to enjoy? No, gentlemen, you will not. I implore you to pause, because I believe that at present you do not see the political results of your verdict. Gentlemen, I have done. I have discharged my duty in regard to this unhappy gentleman to the best of my ability. I have dis charged it as an English advocate, and I trust that I have discharged it fearlessly, and as 1 should in an English court of justice. And lam proud to say, that though the liberty of the press is extinguished in France—though a man there cannot record his opinion if it be unfavourable to the imperial government —I am glad that it is the pride of the French bar that freedom of speech still lingers there, and that the tyrant cannot destroy it. I have dis charged my duty to the best of my ability, little equal to the magnitude of the case. Let me urge you to discharge yours fearlessly, conscientiously, and firmly. You will have the case left in your hands, after the reply of the Att , roey-General, by one who holds the scales impartially. Let me implore you to discharge your duty unintimidated by the French army and by threats of French invasion. Tell the French Emperor that he cannot intimidate an English jury. Tell him that the jury-box is the sanctuary of English liberty. Tell him that on this spot your predecessors have resisted the power of the crown backed by the influence of crown•serving and time-serving judges. Tell him that under every diffi culty and danger your predecessors have secured the politi csl liberties of the people. Tell him that the verdicts of English juries are founded on the eternal and immutable principles of justice. Tell him that panoplied in that armour no threat of armament or invasion can intimidate you. Tell him that though 600,000 French bayonets glit tered before you, though the roar of French cannon thundered in your ear, you will return a verdict which your own hearts and consciences will sanctify and approve, careless)whether that verdict pleases or displeases a foreign despot, or secures or shakes and destroys for ever the throve which a tyrant has built upon the ruins of the liberties of a once free and mighty people. (Loud cheers and clapping of hands from all parts of the court, in which the prisoner joined, but which were suppressed by the officers of the court.) The Attorney-General rose to reply on the whole case. He said—The time had now arrived for him to sum up to them the evidence for the prosecution, and the time was not now far distant when they would have to per form their part. Iu discharging his duty he would en deavour to confine himself within the law and practice of our courts in questions of this kind. Let it not be supposed that he censured his friend Mr. James in asking them, in a strain of eloquence rare in courts of juetico, .. that he had transgressed the bounds of an advoe I ji t. 'thes though he had introduced a variety of topicsot_uch comae of his address. He was induced to 1' 1. 5 , 11 10 8 w w him because it was not his duty through them, but endeavour to br t i o ng their winds of tide on.

He redressed his confidence in their impartial decision, and said, in reference to the learned counsel's remarks on the silence of him (the ' leaned Attorney-General), why this charge bad been made. Happily this was. the first case of its kind that had occurred in this country, and it was.not to be won dered at, if this was the first time that the country had as in utt: c co o kf n , d hma u rd ct b i h n eei g oevn :h do e om p m re i s t e t n ed t rtbis been so disgraced, -that this was the first time such • charge bad been preferred, and he defended his conduct ' country prosecut i on.

The prisoner was charged as before the fact, and the lave was, that if any person e n ti r e!. plied any means, by which these persons,' Orsisii, Rudio, and Pierri could have assassinated the Empero r o f th e "French, or attempt to do any grievous bodily harm to him, and if they, in making that attempt, however nu_ .willing, sacrificed the lives of other parsons, then they who did that act were guilty of murder, and those who assisted them as accessories before the fact. It was perfectly immaterial whether they had any inten tion of destroying these particular individuals named in the indictment, and he (the Attorney-General) charged the moral responsibility belonging to the guilt of these wholesale murders to every one of \ the parties directly or indirectly using the implements employed. The learned counsel at great length and minuteness entered into the facts detailed in the evidence, pointing out the portions which he urged completely made out the charge against the prisoner. Two questions alone were left to them on the evidence—first, whether the instruments supplied to Orsini and his assistants were the same grenades or a portion of them, which Mr. Taylor manufactured, Allsop paid for, and Orsini and his aissoeiates:commit ted the murders, or whether there were other instru ments manufactured, purchased, and obtained elsewhere, and conveyed to Brussels for e . . ''''''. .nt purpose . • Thai remaining question, however nutnatirly and mercie -• , fully they niched to j edge of the pri soner ' s. con d uct, sou S--• of Which he (the-learned Attorney-General) thought it was, impossible for them t o en t er t a i n a s h a d ow of a -- -,---• doubt, was the knowledge of the prisoner of the unlaw ful purposes for which these instruments were pro cured. The ' learned counsel referred to the cross-examination of the witnesses, that the shells were ,mede for_ the improvement of gas, and the admission of the prisoner's counsel that they were to be used for a general rising on the continent, and said be was at a loss to know what was the line of defence relied on by-the prisoner. He contended that the grenades which bad been introduced during the trial were the actual instruments with which the murder was com mitted. It was true the witnesses had varied a little with respect to the form of those missiles, but the evi dence had proved to demonstration that such was the fact. If the prisoner had sent these grenades to Brus sels for a lawful purpose what use could there have been to have resorted to the many subterfuges that had been sved. It had been suggested that those grenades had ,eh sent to Orsini not for the purpose of assassination 'the Emperor of France, but to aid a general rising in tale , . He felt great confidence iu stating that there Ai not a scintilla of evidence eluding to a tieing in any art of Italy. Now, if they were to be used for such a iurpese, what in the mind of .man c told account fur tie transmission to Paris, a place :thesis all others -awing to f: the activity i of . the police—a police hal had been much better described by Isis mined friend than he could hope to do—they reke most likely to be di-covered. He felt such a sup iosrtion was entirely groundless. The grenades were n fact to be used to assassinate the Emperor and Ein webs, and not for the purpose of aiding a revolution of 'tely. There was not even theslightest allu-ion to such scheme in any of the letters and documents that had seen produced during the long and protracted inquiry. le thought the jury would find in going through the !vidence that these desperate men—proscribed from heir home—abused the protection here and devised the io rible plan that had been disclosed. He felt sure that .he evidence had proved one thing—via., that the ev•. ( soner at the bar was well acquainted with Thomas sop, and the fact of Allsop', passport being found on Orsini was a strong point in the evideno , .. The letter of AI IA deop found in the posSession of the prisoner was a ii et instigation to assassination, and, coupled with the ra ing of large sums of money by Allsop through the in trumentality of the prisoner, showed that there was a a ng identity of feeling between them. When he read t 114 letter of Allsop of the lit of January which denounced hie Emperor "as an abominable miscreant" and " one v o must be killed" he felt a blush .1 shame that an E glishrnan, and one who bore an English name, could eeite auch_a letter. Near_ the time of receiving lie letter Bernard purchased the nitric acid and alcohol with which the fulminating powder was made, and Pierri and Orsini proceeded to Bir mingham and purchased the revolvsre, so that be t4een the 16th of October and the 23rd of November NO found the grenades, the fulminating powder to charge them, and the revolvers, in the possession of the , Hires men, and everything cornelete with the exception of forwarding them to Paris, On the 26th of the same month, Orsini drew a sum of money, 4801. in Bank of Eingland notes, and gave three of these 201. notes to the prisoner, and soma of them to the man Pierri. On the 29th of November, Orsini arrived in Brussels with a'false passport, and the first thing he did was to for- Ward the grenades which had been conveyed thither. This having been accomplished, Pierri and Orairii met a; the Cafe Suisse. On the 11th of December, Orsini's horse is conveyed to Paris, along with the grenades. On the 12th. Orsini was shown to be in Paris, with the grenades in his possession, and all in readiness for the pro j#cted attempt. A few days afterwards we find the four persons Orsini, Pierri, Gomez, and Rudio, with the re volvers and grenades in their possession; and in conjunc tion with these facts it must be borne in mind that false names and false pretences had b een use d by a ll p ar ti es . On the '2l of January Bernard changed one of the 201. notes paid to Orsini at the Bank to pay the carriage of tvo revolvers to Paris. It had been urged when the prisoner alluded to the Emperor returning to London lie alluded to his coming as a refugee, and it was further urged that that circumstance was strong proof that the ' ' drisoner had no intention of taking part in the attempted ssasmination, but if the jury were of that opinion they null, in accordance with the directions of the learned j dge, give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. If the heme was not an atte:opt at assassination what need esl tas there for Bernard to write, and he did on the .h of December to Outrequin introducing Orsini sis Allsop. Why should the fire-arms have been silent to M. Outrequin with a false statement if they were to be used for legitimate purposes I Why did all the letters point to a speedy return to Lon don and not contain one word in allusion to the general rising in Italy, upon which so much stress had been budb t Why should the grenades have been sent to they when not theforcertainP.tri,,Why,were were d the ar y to no t ii s e e ntto a asked the ep jury, lace wh w i e t r h e e t v hey e ry w d o i p u p l d o s b i t e i o ru n ore to put the most favourable construction on all the circum stances, what other conclusion could they arrive at but that of the assassination of the Emperor Napoleon T lefore that period arrived, Bernard went to a wretched !edging in Soho, and finds Radio starving ; and there he irevailed upon the unfortunate man to leave his wife, 4is children, and the country in which he had sought shelter to start for Paris and assist Orsini in contriving all that seas necessary to enable them to carry the despotic attempt into execution. He went with the instruments upon him, and was taken into custody with his ill-gotten wealth upon him. The prisoner here struck the front of the dock, and with great energy exclaimed, "Non." Lord Campbell put up his hand, and the prisoner bowed and resumed his self-p ssession. The Attorney-General continued—Rudio was taken with 2t ofr. upon his person, although ten days before his wife and child were perishing from starvation and cold. Bernard had obtained for his wife during his ab senceper n o week, ld b 1 oaondd personsthe hired h assassinnever went d done t o m u murder any harm.

But if guilty in obedience to the oath they bad taken—in obedi to their God and their country—they would return decide, and . once A verdict of guilty. At the close of the Attorney-General's speech there was a faint attempt at applause, but it was immediately suppressed. Lord Campbell—Let the court be adjourned until tea o'clock to-morrow morning. Sir Clifford and Lady Constable have arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from Burton Constable.
