There has been a very quiet business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dd.- ing the past few days, and only the better qualities of the various articles have maintained their pre vious values. Sugar met a very dull sale, and the lower descriptions have declined 6d. to Is. per cwt. For Coffee there has been a very limited inquiry. Rice has slightly improved, and in tea, rum, and saltpetre the transactions were unimportant. The Tallow Market has been rather firmer, and prices have exhibited a slight improvement. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 565. ; May and June delivery, 545. 9d. ; and last 3 mouths, 525. 6d. perscwt. The next public sale of foreign and colonial wool is announced for the 29th inst. The quantity already arrived amounts to about 50,000 bales, the greater propor'ion of which is from Sydney and Port Philip. The quantity will no doubt be largely in creased, as several vessels from the colonies are now overdue. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a dull aspect, and prices inclined downwards. The sales were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. In the Railway Share Market a decline took place in all securities except South-Eastern, which maintained Wednes day's quotations. About 16,0001. in Australian gold waa sent into the Bank of England yesterday. It is expected that the remittances by the Shaftesbury will be similarly appropriated. .The demand for money is rather more active, but the terms remain steady, although the tend ency is slightly t owar d s an a d vance . A s muc h as 2 1 par cent. has lately been paid for the negotiation of the best kinds of bills whereas 24 per cent. was the current charge a short time ago. At the Stock Exchange there are ample facilities, and loans have been granted at 14 and 2 per cent. on Government securities. Business in the City continues extremely quiet, slid there is quite a dearth of commercial informa tion. The operations on the Stock Exchange are reduced within narrow limits. Consols are steady, Foreign Stocks nominal, and Shares depressed, through the unfavourable traffics. Among the shipping interest there is little doing, and the Mincing lane markets are neglected. The fineness of the weather seems to have promoted a better feeling, but little or no revival of trade can yet be reported. It is considered that the worst is passed, and the recnvery has commenced, but it is very gradual in its earlier stages, and exercises scarcely any influence. The Funds have not varied even to the extent of it per cent. Up to one o'clock few bargains bad taken place, and at previous values. Except a purchase oflo,ooo/. Reduced there has been nothing to impart the least animation to the market. The influx of gold, and the continued ewe in the Money Market support values, even although business is 50 very circumscribed. Consols have been 96i for transfer, and 961 1 for the account, they are now 961 # and 96 3 / 4 1, respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are 95i 1 ; the Reduced, 95g a ; Long An nuities, 1 11-16 ; and Bank Stock is 220 to 222.

To -day a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per "Duni was declared at the meeting of the Commer cial Gas Company.

ANDERSON (GILL.) _ _ Th• further hearing of this appeal was resumed this morning. This is an appeal from a decision of the Court o Session in Scotland. The proceedings arise out of a dispute as to the vali dity of an alleged will under which the appellant claimed as executrix, Dative qua Relict Testamenter, of her deceased husband. An executrix administratrix of the testator Alexander Anderson. It was alleged by the respondents, who are next of kin of the testator, that the will was a forgery. The Judges of the First Division of the Court ot Ses sion found that the will was a forgery. And against this decision the appellant appealed to the House of Lords. Mr. Muir resumed his argument for the appellant in support of the appeal. The case rested principally on a comparison of the testator's handwriting, and the evidence produced proved that the pretended signature to the will was a forgery. __ __ .. The appellant stated that part of his evidence bad been improperly excluded, but that the evidence produced was sufficient to support the will. It is probable that the arguments of counsel will occupy the whole of this day. The ntxt cause in the appeal paper appointed for hearing before their lordships of the House of Lords, is the appeal case of the Midland Great Western Railway Compavy of Ireland against Johnson and another. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. .Prendergast, Q.C.) RONSON V. MELHUISII.-QUEEN ACCOUNTS. The plaintiff is a Licensed Victualler, and sought to recover the sum of lls. 4d., for beer and bread and cheese supplied. Defenda . nt—Well, I know I owe 10s., and that is all. Plaintiff—l know better ; here is the account, and hereupon she handed in a piece of wood about six inches square, which the sum total was exacily the sum claimed. The production of this original document excited some merriment. His Honour—And have you been foolish enough to come here evera disputed shilling on a publiclouse score? Defendant— I am willing to pay if I have time. - . .. Plaintiff—He is a master carpenter and can pay at OD CO. Defendant—Not a bit of it. I am only a journeyman. Plaintiff—Oh, I know better than that; you have often said how many people you keep. Defendant—Yes ; I keep eight besides myself, and little money I have to do it on. His Hononr.—Master I Well, be does not look much like one. (To defendant)—Do you mean to say you keep seven or eight men I Defendant—No, my lord. Seven or eight men I No, mine are all children. (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh, that's quite a different matter. I am afraid they are a kind of journeymen who eat more than they earn. Defendant-,-That is true, your honour. Plaintiff—Oh, but he has got children in Australia. Defendant—But I have got eight at home and no wif'. His Henour—That is a misfortune ; it would have been well not to have been without money in your pocket ' • but this claim is for beer and not for spirits, and only had at dinner time, as you both agree. Ae order was made for payment in six weeks. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat on solo here to-clay, coa,twise and by land carriage, was very moderate, the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state. Compared with Monday, however, no change took place in prices. Foreign wheat, the show of which was seassonably ex tensive, moved off slowly, but wo have no change to notice in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten tion. Thera was a steady inquiry for barley, at very full prices. Malt sold slowly, yet Monday's prices were supported. The top quotations were 68s. to 693. per quarter.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION Poland ; and th e l earned counsel appealed to the jury to `say if they were suffering in a similar manner they would not organise a seciety for the regeneration of their country. No remarks bad ever been known to have escaped the lips of Bernard to the prejudice of the Etn peror of the French. What did Rogers, the spy (and be fearlessly called him a spy in an English court ofjustice), say against Dr. Bernard, when he attended the discus- Floes at Wyld's, in Leicester-squar e ! Why, that Dr. Bernard, and those with him, were di cussin g the ad vantages of constitutions! governments over those of despotism. Grecious God ! what had they come to. He warned the jury that, under such circumstances, to be careful how they attended a public meeting ; and, a s for Rogers, he bad better go and report in the House of Commons, where he would hear stronger lan guage used against the Emperor of the French by thos e who had the courage to do so t' a t in Wyld's room a Leicester-square, and which was delivered from the hustings in this country in 1843. The case mainly rested on the evidence of Mrs. Rudio. Her husband was a ready man and no doubt joined in an expedition with Orsini, but what his connection with Orsini was no one but himself, Bernard, and Orsini knew, and now three months had closed and no explanation could be given, though Bernard denied having been instrumental in hiring a man to commit assassination. Interfere I wi!h, as Mrs Rudio had been by the police, she had given her evidence with infinite honour, for the efforts of the prosecution had failed to cause her to swerve from the truth. But what the transaction in which these men were engaged might easily have been ascertained by calling Rudio. He might have been brought here, and they would have known the real state of the case, for it was ab• urd to say he could be set at liberty by a habata cornus, f,r by the extradition treaty he could have been demanded and must have been given up to the French authorities. All the circumstances, the money arid means possessed by Orsini showed the ob ject was to arm for rising against a body of troops, and not for the purpose of committing a miserable cowardly and dastardly attack on an individual. It was as touch the surprise of Bernard when he heard of tne attempt that it was committed by Orsini. It is more strange that in England the only documents felled on the prisoner were only letters of an old date, and had no reference to the attack. Orsini, with the cold band of death noon him, had made a statement consistent with Bernard's defence, and as Rudio bad not been called, he implored them, for the sake of the prisoner's life, to coa eider seriously the question that upon either Orsini, Rudio, and Pierri, no document or scrap of paper ba.l been found that implicated the prisorer, and, what was more, that the French system of p which permeated every home and builling, and was as complete and perfect now as in the time of the Committee of Public Safety when the wife of a man's bosom was bribed to be the spy on his conduct, had not been able to trace that any commend cation had passed between them through the post-office, to st o v that he knew an) thing of the 'a%ale: t .rprise which Orsini by the madness of the moment had been lcd to commit. He thought enough bad been done in the dim twilight of the morning when Orsini and Prerri were executed to expiate this crime ; and he called upon the jury to vindicate the law of England, without fear and without being deterred by the threats of the French Emperor—the formation of large armaments—not even by the dread of 600,000 bayonets. The !earned counsel's address was listened to through out with breathless attention, and at its close was loudly cheered. The Court then adjourned for a short time ; on re suming, Tee 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. In 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 justice, Vott he had transgressed the bounds of an advocate, al though he Lad iiwrsolueed a variety of topics in the cum.: eof his address. He was induce Ito soy so much because it was not his duty to follow him through them, but endeavour to bring their minds back to the real questions they had to consider and de cide on. He first proceeded to disabuse their mind of the dream of his learned friend that this trial, before ;earned judges of the land, in a British court of justice, and before a British jury, that the pro ecution had been instigated or promoted by the French Government or any other persons but those who were able to direct such a nrosecutiou in this country. The late Attorney , General instituted this inquiry, from certain circum stances laid bi fore him, that there was evidence to show that the prisoner was implicated with Orsini and others in a conspiracy to murder. The case was brought before a magistrate when certain evidence was given, and the case a sumed an aspect that led the learned counsel "ho conducted the case and the worthy magistiatte before whom it was preferred t 3 commit the prisoner as an accessory before the murder. No musty Act cf Parliament had been ransacked under which to bring this charge, for it was one passed in the last year of the life of George IV., and tmiltr circumstances which most of them recollected. I 4 was not the Government who made this charge, but the learned magistrate before whom the prisoner was exa• mined, believing he was bound to do so under the terms of the act of Parliament, and it no w came before them as a British jury to decide on the guilt or innocence of the prisoner on the evidence produced, and not on the eloquence of the learned coun sel for the prisoner. He expressed his confidence in their impartial decision, and said, in reference to the learned counsel's remarks on tbo silence of him (the kernel Attorney-General), why this charge bad been made. Happily this was the first case of its kind that had occurred iu this country, and it was not to be won dered at, if this was the first time that the country had been so disgraced, that this was the first time such a charge had been pref rred, and he defended his conduct in conducting the present prosecution. If such ao attack had been committed in this country on the per son of our beleved Qaeen, and many had been wounded, what would they have said to a foreign G overnment who had thought fit to refuse ja,tice, on the ground of dictation ? There was not a person in this country naho would not be gratified on finding, at the termination of the trial, that the country had been relieved of the stain on it, and ho asked the jury to restore hint to libir y without a etain upon his ammeter, if they belies, d hi u innocent, but if, on the contrary, then he callad upon them to discharge their duty irrespective cf a bat would follow. The prisoner was charged as an accessory before the fact, and the kw was, that it any person sup plied any mean., by which these persons, Orsini, Rudio, and Pierri coull. have assassinated the Emperor of the French, or attempt to do any grievous bodily harm to him, and if they, in making that attempt, however u^.- willing, sacrificed the lives of other persons, then they who did that act were guilty of murder, and those who assisted them as accsseries before the fact. It was perfectly immaterial whether they had any inten tion of de.etriying these particular individuals named in the indictment, and he (the Attorney-General) charged the moral responsibility belongiug to the guilt of these wholesale murders to every one of the parties directly or indirectly using the implements employed. Toe 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 was left to them on the evidence—first, whether the instruments supplied to Orsini and hie assistants were the same grenades or a portion of them, which Mr. Taylor maeufacturid, Allsop paid fere and Orsini and his associates commit ted the murders, or whether there were other instru ments manufactured, purchased, and obtained elsewhere, and conveyed to Brussels for another different purpose. The remaining question, however humanely and merci fully they wished to judge of the prisoner's conduct, arid of which lie (the learned Attorney-ti eneral) thought it was impossible for them to entertain a shadow 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 witness, that the shells were made 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 he was at a loss to know what was the line of defence relied on by the prisoner. He contended that the grenades which had 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 &nee had proved to demonstration that such was the fact. If the prisoner had sent these grenades to Brue eels for a lawful purpose what use could there have been to have resorted to the many subterfugis that had been proved. It had been suggested that those grenades had been sent to Orsini not for the purpose of assassination of the Emperor of France, but to aid a general rising i Italy. He felt great confidence in stating that there was not a scintilla of evidence alluding to a rising in any part of Italy. Now, if they were to be used for such a purpose, what in the mind of man c uld account for the transmission to Paris, a place above all others —owing to -the activity 4 of the police—a police that had been much better described by his learned friend than ho could hope to do—they were most likely to be discovered. He felt such a cup position was entirely groundless. The grenades were in f set to be used to assassinate the Emperor and Em press, and not for the purpose of aiding a revolution of Italy. There was not even theslightest allusion to such a scheme in any of the letters and documents that had been produced during the long and protracted ineui . l 7: He thought the jury would find in going throeugh,df evidence that these desperate men—proscribed t their home—abused the protection here a rid devised l the ,hat horrible &an that had been disclosed. • -___sez o the evidence had proved one thingud W ith Thomas prisoner at the bar was well B egirt , ; e t being found Alliop, and the fact of Aliso P He of the Tne letter on Orsini was a strong point possession t th u a r : h e of the prisoner wins a of Allsop found in the po si cse: tio ,, , an d, coupled with the ones oy Ailsop through the cf the.oprisonewshowedethat there wee ~elbetween there.

The trial cf Simon Bernard was resumed this morning at ten o'clock. The interest exhibited in the proceed ings increases as the trial approaches its conclusion. The Court to day was densely crowded. As early as 9 o'clock the avenues of the court were thronged by persons anxious to obtain early admission, and before half-past 9 the court was half filled. The audience was principally composed of ladies, amongst whom were the Duchess of Manchester, and the Hon. Miss Campbell, the wives of many of the aldermen, and their friends. On the bench were the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of Lunn, Lord Bingham, Sir R. Mayne. At five minutes past 10'clock, Lord Campbell, the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Erie, and Mr. Justice Crowder, took their scats on the bench, when the pri soner was placed et the bar. m e . James, in addressing the jury, expressed a hope that the jury would believe him when he raid that he felt inadequate to efficiently discharge the onerous duty that devolved on him in entering on the defence of a case which affected the liberties and privileges of the whole civilised world. It had ever been the boast, and no idle one, that it was the duty and the pleasure of the Eng lish bar to render every assistance to the weak against the strong—the oppressed as against the oppressor, and from that spot where he now stood the illustrious names of Erskine, Brougham, Beaman, and lastly the Lord Chief Baron (Pollock) had shed the lustre of their influence in the cause of freedom. The case had been brought before them under extraordinary circumstances. He, however, acknowledged the moderation with which the learned Attorney-General had opened the case ; but be fore they found a verdict for an act which was not con• tent with the blood of Orsini and Pierri, but which was to stain an English scaffold with the blood of the pri soner, it was right they should havo known and made explained to them upon what principle of law, upon what ground it was that this prosecution was based on this particular act of Parliament. He, however, trusted to be able to show that it hal been perverted and wrested from the object which those who framed it intended, and he was speak ing not only his own opinion, but that which was guiding the opinions of the greatest jurists of the pre sent day. The act of Parliament had never before been applied to such cases, and had been pressed against the prisoner under most extraordinary circumstances. He stated that the prosecution hal been instituted at the instigation of foreign dictation, for the purpose of bring ing about a state of things which the then Government had not the courage to submit to the English people and the British House of Commons, and the Treasury Solici tor had been called upon to ransack the archives of musty acts of Parliament, and having found one they sought to enforce it against him for wilful murder for the object of encompassing a political object which the Government of the day had not the courage to submit to the English people through the British House of Commons. The learned counsel then referred to the history and origin of the transaction, and in doing so he said he was not there to counsel assassination. God forbid that he should ever say a word in palliation of assassination. It was a cowardly, dastardly, dark crime, and he would riot then stop to discuss the question, whether it was light to get rid of a tyrant by that means. Assassina tion was a crime at which Eng'ishmen jestly shuddered, and it was not to the dagger an oppressed pe :pia! meat look for relief. Gad in his inscrutable wisdom reserves to tyrants and despots a worse fate than the machinations of man, and hietory attested the truth that, though Providence allowed for a time a despot to triumph over his people, there remained for bins an in evitable retribution which reached him more surely than grenades and the dagger of the assassin. Livine as we did under the beneficent reign of a constitutional sove re.gn, who lived and reigned in the hearts of the people, we were unable to understand the feelings of those who lived under the withering blast of despotism. The learned counsel then referred to the attempted ae,sassi notion ; the demand made by France fur delivering uptbe exiles in this country ; the threatening language of the French cdonels published in the afoniteur ; the speech of the French ambassador to the Corporation of London. Lord Palmerston'. Government pressed for the extiadi tion of this and other men who found an asylum here ; to the conspiracy bill of Lord Palmerston and its fate, and they were now asked under a spacial commission to ask these learned judges round them, no', be would say, to pervert the law, f , r thty were too high and honourable for that, but toask them through the verdict of the jury to do that which the late Government had been unable to accomplish, that of sub verting the freedom of asylum in this country. The learned counsel having again referred to the Con piracy Bill of Lord Palmerston, on which Lord Camp bell, the late Attorney-General and others, greatly dif fered, which the English people would not receive, and which wracked the noble lord's government, the strongest that, perhaps, had been ever known, he referred to the charge preferred before the magistrate of ceaspiracy, and aaer wards turned into felony as an accessory before the fact ; and ho implored the jury not to pervert the law by finding a verdict against the prisoner, and, by so doing, awient in destroying the asylum of extlee, for an act never contemplated and not applied to thiscese. The prisoner was an Italian, a native of that country which had been almost the (Arai-place of freedom, but which had now become a political waste and a desolation ; it was not to be wondered at that an organisation should base existed against tyranny, which bad not only been lau led by the greatest men of the age, and which had met no favour in the English journals, whenever a French revolution for restoring the liberties of the people bad been successful. The Emperor of France bad him self erjoyed the rights of asylum on the shores of England, which he now sought to destroy for ever by the conviction of the prisoner f or murder. In 1843, the throne of Louis Philippe was upset, and the republic of Louis Napoleon established, who they knew had made an attempt from this country on the Government of Louis Philippe. He afterwards, in Deceinbc.r, 1851, threw him-elf on the free-will of a generous people. HO obtained five milli ins of their votes, and he was by them placed in a position the greatest that God bad ever allowed nay man to hold for wielding the liberties and destinies of roan. What might he not have done, so placed by the free-will of a people, with the halo of the great name he bore, and which carried him into that position I In 1848 the Emperor of the French was perched on the height of his ambition, arol he than wore to protect the liberties of the French people. Louis Philippe and Louis Napoleon had then changed places. Louis Napoleon had gone to France, upset the govern merit of Louis Philippe, and taken his throne. Louis Philippe had lost his throne, and sought refuge in thin country ; and it was that right of asylum, which the Conspiracy Bill of Lord Palmerston sought to destroy, they were now asked by their verdict to annihilate, and which Switzerland and Sardinia had determined to pre serve in their respective countries. Tile learned gen tleman then referred to the wanderings of Luis Napo leon, and said that the sentiments which he had enun ciated from the banks of the Rhine—from the fastnesses of Switzerland and the wild plains of America—induced the most intelligent and generous people in the world — the people of France—to confide their destinies to his hand ; but before the oath was cold on his lips he faltered. (Slight applause, which was immediately sup pressed.) Referring to the attempt of the 14th Jan., the learned counsel alluded to the number of wounds which the prosecution had stated, said they were as nothing when Louis Napoleon turned the drunken French soldiers on the night of the soup d . elat loose on men, women, and children, and when the representa tives of the people were seized and thrust into prison, and afterwards transported into the deadly plains of Algiers, and the more deadly swamps of Cayenne, that he might erect his throne over a mighty people. (Slight applause.) He should be able to show that the attempt to assassinate the Emperor never crossed the prisoner's mind, and that he never for a moment instigated this particular murder. There were no doubts about the facts of the murder which it was sought to connect the prisoner with by three general positions. The first was his connection with Allsop, and through him with the grenades ordered by Allsop, and paid for by him between Oct. and Nov,, 1857, but he contended the prosecution had failed to identify the grenades used with those ordered by Allsop. Not one of them bad been traced to his knowledge, though he (Mr. James) admitted that the prisoner knew some instruments were to be used in an insurrection in Italy, but he never had a hand or part in the sending of those instruments. In order to trace them a man named Georgi had been called before them under peculiar circumstances, and who bad a most elastic memory. At the present moment a State war rant impended over his head, which he hoped to avert by giving evidence that would convict the prisoner, when he would be able to go back and have it arranged. Already he had had twenty-six days' imprisonment, and had now a Brussels State warrant hanging over him; he had sworn in reference to these grenade°, brat, that there were five holes in them, and afterwards there were twenty-five, and in the drawing he wade of them before the Jugs d'lnstruction he represented there were only seven holes ; and after analysing Georgi's evidence the learned counsel contended it ha I failed to prove die prisoner's knowledge of them. With regard to the pistols he did not deny, as lie had already said, that he, with o,eini, were collecting for a political eincute of which Paris was to he the focus, and Dr. Bernard bad contributed to that supply, but without cognizance of or in instigating this attempt. He wished that proposition to be distinctly uederstood, and he defied the Crown to prove that Dr. Berard was implicated in instigating this murder. He was connected with Oreini and others for an out break and in defence of their liberty, and soy a tack that might be made against them ; and it was prima facie consistent with much of the evidence for the Crown. It was remarkable that with but one exception there had been no attempt on the part of tho prisoner to conceal his name. There was no concealment when he sent the pistols, nor when he obtained his pusp ort More arms, no doubt, would have been sent by him had not Orsini, in a fatal moment, made this deplorablevence . attempt. A letter of Allsop 's had been read in d Their lordships had decided the law that the letter e o t o h u e l i d r be read, but its weight rested with the j ur y ; and if verdict on it was adverse, no man would be safe who receive d a letter, i wohi t c h h is h c e o . u n n ev try r answered, and which he carelessly threw aErn sidie4de o .Ttie t letter contained a refe r e nce to the Society f England notes, and gave three of these 201. notes to the Prisoner, and some of them to the man Pierri. On the 29A1 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 arid Orsini met at 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 jected attempt. A few days afterwards we find the four persons Orsini, t'ierri, Gomez, and Rudio, with the re. volvers and grenades in their possession; and in conjunc hptntweroioiotsanoolrvinwuee dv i re‘ h these facts it mus t b e b orne i n m i nd that false names and false p re t ences h a d b een use d by all parties. On th e 2,1 of January B ernar d c h ange d one of the 20/. paid llettuordse to htdito Paris. Orsini tcoo m t hai the Emperor g the Is t a Bbaan had been to hr ee refugee,et p un a ra y nun drnt urged et e d tw carriageoawafLh when nrn ttt ohe o nre f urged that that circumstance was strong proof that the prisoner had no intention of taking pat tin the attempted assassination, but if the jury were of that opinion they woull, in accordance with the directions of the learned judge, give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. If the scheme was not an atteevt at assassination what need was there for Bernard to write, and he did on the Bth of December to Oatrequin introducing Orsini as Ailsop. Why should the fire-arms have been sent to M. Outrequin with a false statement if they were to be used for legitimate purposes ! Why did all the letters point to a speedy return to Lon don and not contain one word in all ion to the g enera l rising in Italy, upon which so much stress had b een laid ? Why should the . grenades have been sent to Paris when the discovery is almost certain ? Why, if they were not wanted for some purpose in Paris, were they not sent to a place where they would be more se cure ? He asked the jury, with every disposition to put the most favourable construction on all the circum stances, what other conclusion could they arrive at tint that of the assassination of the Emperor Napoleon ? Before that peri o d a rr i ve d, B ernar d wen t t o a wr e tched lodging in Soho, and fi n d s R u di o s t arv i ng ; an d th e re he prevailed upo e n the unfortunate man t o l ea ve his wife, his children, and the country in which he had sought shelter to start for Paris and assist Oredui in contriving all that was 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-go' ten 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 hit self-p s s ion. The Attorney-General continued—Rudio was taken with Mfr. upon his per: on, although ten days before his wife and child were perishing from starvation and cold. Bernard had obtained for his wife during his ab sence 12s. per week, and the hired assassin went to Paris to murder in cold Wood persons who had never done him any harm. On his arrival he undeniably joined Pierri arid OrFini, with whom he remained to aims: in carrying the dreadful crime into operation. Such was the man that Bernard sent over to Paris, and that too from a country in which both himself and the prisoner were fillew-refugees. If after the attempt Bernard bad be come horror-stricken, why did he still continue to deal secretly w:tb Rudio's wife ? Oae thing was quite car tche ec aidoul d o f n e a v g e e r n t h s a i v n e e s n e o c u a n r r t i r e y d . i t a , t i o n , e t: f ocationwoi l th o u ff u e t n The a; Ins were made here, the echerne was planned here, and the jury, he felt sure, would not hesi tete in bringing to condign punishment the c who hal rendered that assistance, and who was the pr , i c s i o d n e e , r a a n t d the bar. dutyarThat . question fer them to d painful it might be, feerles,ly. If, after a deliberate and they was would the discharge, however ma.ure consideration, there was the slighte-t doubt on their minds, they would then return a verdict of not guilty. But if the contrary should be their opinion, then, in obedience to the oath they had taken—in obedi ence to their God and their country—they would return a verdict of guilty. At the close of the Attorney-General's speech there was a faint attempt at applause, but it was immediately uppr, s , o 1. Lord Catnpbeil—Let ccurt he adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow morning. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Observing that the Times and several of your contemporaries are severe in their strictures on Lord Derby's Bill for what they term shirking the responsibility of the Indian Bill, it is desirable that their attention should be called to the plain fact, that the feelings of the present GoVeil - nent, or those of any other on the subject, may be easily understood, they have, no doubt, a due sense of their own merit, and think they can govern India better than it was done before, and are not averse to have the power and patronage of India placed in their hands for this put pose, but they probably do not much relish a coeneil which will hsten their power and patronage, and be a check on their c duct. The formation of an eff:Ttive Indian Coun cil will only be male by the House of Cunmons taking the bill into their own hands. We want a council that can act as well as advise, and have sufficient power to throw a check upon incomi e teace in au Indian Minister, to recall a Governor . General, to apeoint Members of Council in India, f r it is much to be feared that the jobbery and patronage of some fifure Cabinet of Ministers may to k to interest and not to merit, and appoint ii competent scions of the nobility, wholly ignorant of India, to the highest offices, as Secretary of may conv u l ee l State, Governor-General, d-; e, whose gross errors, jobbery, and patronage, ,and even lose India ; and consider how England will de scend in the rank of nations if it loses India. An effective council for India, such as I have proposed, a Cabinet of Ministers will be in no hurry to intro duce. The Indian B:ll is evidently one which the House of Commons should take into their own hands. This the sound judgment of Lord John Russell at once perceived, when Ile moved th at at should be discussed by reso!utione in ti.e house. This bill should be proceeded with at (lice, as the mutiny in India has strougly engross ecl the publics mind, and at no future period will the subject re ceive so much attention and consideration as at present ; in fact, if deferred, interest may die away, and a bill be smuggled through Parham, nt. The causes of the Indian mutiny may he easily seen • ter, ugh. Lord Palmerston's arbitrary dis position, which led him to support unfit officials—his passion for raising rows, espe cially for engaging in wars with petty States, as China and Persia—what is vulgarly termed humbug in Indian officials, which lead them to p wiper the Bengal sepoys in so extraordinary a manner that discipline was wholly lost ; they pro bably thought they would recommend themselves to advancement thereby. Lord Ellenborough's Indian Councl is a very clever idea, and solves a difficulty which seemed to be insurmountable here. With the fullest power and resp o n si bi li ty in thecou Mncil, inister, e,r7,h ick b e have ca eaxePrectisfee:iolY independent favour or pa tronage, though the half of it is selected by himself, as, by terms of selection, members can be only chosen en account of qualifications, over which he has no control. Whereas in Lord Palmerston's Council lie might have selected all the members from his own supporters, however ineornp tent. It is much to be hoped that the House of Parlia ment will give over party feeling on this bill e. and not obstruct the measures of Government for the purpose of thwarting a Minister. What is the utility of having a despot in power sure of a majo rity who can pass any measures or bill he pleases Wars with petty nations, till at last we had a Con spiracy Bill which would have placed the whole of England under the dominion of spies, and any man's house might have been broken into upon the accusation of Any one who chose to accuse him of what was declared to be a felony. What did we obtain from the cleverness of another Minister, Sir R. Peel, but the income tax ? There e is one point upon which I hope the Govcrenmards will not shirk responsibility, that is l a n s di r a &m -em rights of the creditors of the East India e yeaent of pang, to have a provision made for tiriersp. popular —I have their debts or claims that will I:'"?' : _!_ nt, the honour to be, your obedient s VERITAS.
