He censured the publication of Orsini's last letter in the Pied montese official gazette. Italy, said he, would indignantly repel the affection and services of a malefactor by whom she bad been dishonoured. (Murmurs.) If tha bill had been pro posed before those urgent demands bad been addressed to the Piedmontese government by France, the conserva tive members might have approved of it, but a feeling of national self-esteem would now induce them to oppose it, although lie thought the conduct of the cabinet bad merited the foreign pressure to which it was exposed. He severely criticised the second portion of the bill, enabling the government to choose, through the syndics, the jurymen to try offences of the press. However, he would have such cases tried by the tribunals, and not by a jury ; for otherwise the law would be a sheer illusion. lie would frankly say to France that Piedmont was not willing to alter her laws ; but, when it should be consistent with the dignity of the govern ment and called for by the circumstances of the country, he would pass a law by which their power ful ally might be satisfied, and a disposition shown to pre:erve intact the bonds of international amity. Signor Boociio said that the bill gave rise to two questions of a different order, one political, and the other politico-legal. If the Lill were imposed on them by a foreign power, he should be the first to reject it ; but he saw no proof of that pressure from abroad on which the majority of the commit tee founded its motives for proposing the rejection of the measure. There was nothing on the part of France but a request full of dignity, made after the attempt of the 14th January. No pressure could be said to exist, unless the application were made unjustly, or in a manner insulting to the in dependence of the country. As the government had presented this bill, its rejection might be at tended with serious consequences both at home and abroad. It would be a disastrous precedent for the interests of the country to cause a ministerial crisis on a foreign question. The consequences abroad of so doing would be isolation with respect to other countries. The sole support that Piedmont and the Italian cause possess abroad is France, for Englandhas joined Austria and abandoned us ; there is no other support to us but France—France governed by Napoleon 111., whose lively sympathy to Italy is well known. After having pointed out the danger of isolation for Piedmont, the Inn. de puty terminated in these words :—But what is asked from us, after all, by this bill ? Simply to brand with reprobation acts of conspiracy and assaskina tion. Well, then, I declare that it is an hon our for nic us to vote for such a principle. There is incontes tably an omission on this point in our legislation, and it is our duty to supply it. As to what con terns the organisation of the jury, I may make some reserves, but I shall certainly support the amend ment which proposes to bring before the jury offences against religion. Count ham'As' began by remarking that trial byjury, which Count Margherita had pronounced a sheer illusion, had existed in France for the last fifty. years ; aad although the hon. gentleman la mented the "birbarienu and corruption" of his own Country, Piedmont was not less deserving than France of having the jury system extended to the trial of all offences. The hon. gentleman seemed to think that the national dignity was at the pre sent day compromised. It was, indeed, easier to take care of the national dignity in former times, When Piedmont was so dumb and so nos'gnificant that foreign states took no notice of her—when no free press or parliament existed at whose utterance BOURSE, April 17.--The following were the closing quotations :- 4. per Cents 93 35 Do. end month — 3 per Cent. ..... 69 35 Do. end month 69 35 Bank Shares Credit Mobilier Do.

HOUSE OF LORDS. :Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord St. Leonard, Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Mon teagle, and other peers.) BURROWS V. GROVE. This appeal cause was appointed by their lordships of the House of Lords to be considered in part, and as to a certain point therein, to be re argued by one counsel of a side at half-past 10 o'clock this morning. The arguments will probably occupy the whole of this day. mu It• 14. V. of a protest against it from public opinion. Floss-- ever, it was not the Right but the Left side of the chamber on which the real adversaries cif the bill were to be found. Addressing, therefore, his friends on that side who were influenced by' the views set forth in the majority report of the com mittee, Signor Mamiani stated his various reasons for supporting this measure. He agreed in the gene ral principle, that the objects of penal jurisdiction should be limited to the social nece,sities of their own country, though in the cases of forgery of foreign money, and infringement of certain police regulations, the injury done to foreign countries also was admitted i n t o consideration. But he con tended that it was the highest interest, and first social necessity of every country, to take care not to allow the principles of universal justice to be violated, and not to exhibit the deplorable spec tacle of a criminal action wrongly remaining un punished. Now, what was the principle embodied in the first part of this bill ? It was simply this that whoever conspired or prepared to take away the life of the chief or ruler of a foreign nation "should be d eeme d gu ilt y, an d li a b le to punishment. I must say," continued the honourable gentle loan, "that to doubt of the justice of such a law would be to go against the uroversal con science of all good men. Political sects have never been able to stifle the cry of abomination towards that crime. Instead of approaching bar barism, I will say that in no period of the world has the m ora l sens e been quicker and miler than in ours, and we ought to be grateful for this to the progress of liberty and democracy. Every teligious inquisition has fallen, the privileges of the divine right of princes have fallen, and also the thous prineiple that the end justifies the means. oes i t seem reasonable that by the laws of the Preite we should provide for the decorum of foreign princes, and that we should yet leave their lives "ithout defence The Venetian Republic de livered over to the inquisition of Rome—that is to !Lay, to the flames—Giordano Bruno, guilty of heterodox opinions. We would sooner cheerfully lu the risk o f a war . Th e r i g h t of asy l um i s one of tlt he most precious, but it is proper to concede that which is justly and honestly due to neigh bouring nations.

With respect to the third article ( t hat relating to the alteration in the juries) 11 0 right can be exercis , d without the corres rlncling :means ; a man cannot be a judge if e has not the necessary fitness for the office. All °lectors are jurymen —all met , that is to say, weo Pay 2 0f. of taxes. This presuming too much on the ritelligence of our multitudes. Al Genoa, out of 68 trials of journals, only five were condemned, a nd in the cases of miny of those acquitted there Were the best reasons to have found them guilty. I Will, however, submit to the Chamber an amend ment on this article. Let us prove to diplomacy th at We, too, know how to come in aid of the prin ciple of authority, and we shall increase our right to remind.„ Europ e o f w h a t was p rom i se d t o us a t th e - raria Congress. I, not being either a Minister or a diplomatist, am at liberty to say what the Presi dent of the Council would perhaps be unable to al lude to. The Emperor Napoleon 111. is to Eng land an ally of importance, to Belgium and Switzer thud powerful neighbour, but to us Italians b e is more— to us he is the descendant of the great man who did no much good to Italy, riot perhaps all that he could, but more than any other foreign prince has ever done for her. The Emperor Napoleon HI. let us rem e mb er , h as by the father's side Italian blood in his veins, and he has not forgotten Italy, as I can affirm to you. The occasion now presents itself for us to repudiate the infamous doctrines with which foreigners are endeavouring, to infest Italy. Let us seize on it eagerly. The cause of Italy is sacred, and we ought not to tarnish it by a vicious line of conduct, or to permit it to be calumniated. Let it be known n to atn al io lt a h l at we ref us e no thi ng w h a t ever th a t inter justice demands. If we act so, we shall be able in the face of the world to raise our voice in favour of Italy." (Cheers.) The Marquis PARETO (of the Left) opposed the bill, as having been ietroduced under foreign pres sure. Moreover the measure would seem to con firm the opinion that political assassination was an Mdigeneous plant in Daly. France might find in Piedmont a nation ready to sacrifice anything - to the alliance, except its honour. Signor FARINI defended the bill, first, on account of its moral principle, and then because it would tend to strengthen the ties of friendship existing between Piedmont and France. The Chamber then adjourned. On the next day (the 14th) the debate was re famed by Signor BROFFERIO, one of the majority of the committee, who urged his objections t o th e b ill in detail, a n d criticised the French Government for several of its poitical acts, expressed some vague suspicions regarding its sincerity, sad then con cluded with complimenting the Cabinet on the cours e it had followed in the case of Mr. Hodg e , England expressing his displeasure at the conduct of - eilegland i n l eav i ng Pi e d mon t unsupported in the e ase of the Cagliari. (Cheers from the gallery.) The debate was again adjourned. A telegraphic despatch from Turin of the 17th :—. 4.

The Liiit7ents o f th e C ouncil afterwards drew an ical sketch of the foreign policy of the govern "lent since 1848. The war in the Crimea and the eon Vela of Paris had, he said, produced one of The advices received from most of the manufac turing districts this morning report that a slight improvement has taken place on the demand for several descriptions of fabrics. At Manchester buyers of cloths suitable for the Indian markets have shown more disposition to operat?, but the prices they offer are too low - to meet the require ments of manufacturers and spinners. In yarns there has been very little animation, and prices, it is expected, will rule lower. The woollen cloth trade at Leeds has exhibited no ma terial change. In the various cloth balls there had been a fair attendance of buyers, including the agents of some large London houses, but they had operated with considerable caution and only in light goods suitable for the present season, but the improvement id the weather has caused more brisk ness in trade generally. Business at Brad ford, however, has not exhibited much alte ration. There has been a slight improvement in worsted yarns for export, but the terms offered by merchants are so low that the spinners complain that no profit can be realised at present rates. For piece goods there has been a slight increase in the demand, more particularly for light fabrics. The operatives appear to be gradually getting into employment. At Huddersfield there has been some improvement in the woollen trade, chiefly for home consumption, and trade has as sumed a more cheerful aspect, but there is still a large number of operatives out of work. The lace trade of Nottingham has been rather active, chiefly for home use; the hosiery trade, how- j ever, remains very flat, and many of the large manufacturing firms are only partially employing their hands. At Birmingham trade continues very quiet. There has been an increase in the demand for manufactured iron for home use, but in the various fancy trades connected with the town there is only a slight amelioration. The button trade is extremely flat, and the jewellery business is extremely depreszed. The hardware trades at SheffiAd, Wolverhampton, and Wallsall have been vtry quie+, but symptoms of improvement are visible, although the orders received are small in amount, and confidence seems to return very slowly. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with an animated appearance, and prices of all de scriptions were rather firmer. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. Rail way shares also exhibited a slight upward tendency. There has been rather more demand for money during the last few dap, both in Lombard street and at the Bank of England, owing to the prepara tions made for a large number of commercial bills connected with the East India trade, which are now arriving at maturity. The supply, however, continues abundant, and the terms charged for the negotiation of good bills are still very moderate. The supplies of Australian and other gold will tend to keep financial affairs in an easy position, not withstanding the prospect of a loan. Great anxiety is felt to ascertain the amount that will be required to provide for the expenditure of the year. There is naturally much diversity of opinion, though con fidence is expressed in the success of any plans which may be proposed by Mr. Disraeli. About 25,0001. in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. _ I The advices from New York are of a more fa vourable character, especially as they report a fur ther advance in the rate of exchange, and as there is a probability of a fuxther rise, the specie exports from th it country may consequently be resumed. If this should be verified, there can be no doubt that specie will. continue to accumulate here, as large remittances are coming forward from Austra lia, and other sources of supply. From the Bra zils, for instance, the Medway has just arrived, with about 411,0001. aid from the West Indies also a remittance of 191,076/. is announced this morning. The New York City Bark's returns show a slight decrease in the specie, but the aggre gate was exceedingly large, owing to the continued imports from California. The increasel demand which existed for money - was indicative, in some respects, of a slight revival in trade. Owing to the apprehension that the acquittal o Dr. Bernard may create 15n unfavourable impres sion in France, the Funds have been depressed in spite of the contemporaneous arrivals of gold, and the expectation of a satisfactory result from the discussion on the Budget. The speculators, however, look for lower prices from the Paris Bourse, and t'aey have consequently pressed sales. Consols for transfer have been 96g 4, and 96.5 ; for account, 964 and 96 g respectively. The New 3 per Cents. are 951 ; the Reduced, 95g a ; and Exchequer Bills 335. to 375. prem.

Sittings in Banco before Lord Campball, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Erie, and Mr. Justice Cromp ton. CRIMINAL INFORMATION..-THE QUEEN V. SIR J. A. MORRIS, BART. In this case Mr. Bevil Q.C., applied to the court on behalf of a Chancery barrister whose name did not trans pire, for a rule calling upon Sir J. A. Morris to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for writing and sending that gentleman a letter, of which the following is a copy : " Carlton Club, Pall-Mall, London, March, 18, 1853. " Sir,—l herewith, until the' Vice Chancellor has delivered his judgment in re Morris v. Morris, write to express to you my opinion concerning yourself, which is, that a more contemptable scoundrel than yourself exists not. " Words would be lost upon you, so I say no more than that I fervently hope and trust that God will mete out t r you a due punish ent for concocting and writing the silly falsehoods and calumnies you did at the ex aminers office. "If your employers instructed you to throw out the poison, then I trust they will be equally punished with your contemptible self during your respective life time, In the next life it is not difficult to foretell the part of such unmitigated liars, scoundrels, and defamers such as you and they must be considered by all men not barristers." "JOHN A. MORRIS" Lord Campbell asked the learned counsel if he applied on the ground that the letter was a libel up'n the whole profession. He remembered when at this bar that an application was made in respect of a libel on a company of brewers, but I suppose you do not rely on the general charge contained in the letter ? Mr. Bovill said the bar generally, and, he believed, the sol;ctors, did not assume the charge to themselves. The letter no doubt was written in consequence of cer tain proceedings in Chancery, instituted by Sir J. A. Morris against his mother, Dame Julia Morris, relative to family affairs, and with Sir John considered the bar rister in question, and those who instructed him, bad insinuated that he was not legally married, and censer quo t'y that his son was illegitimate. The application was made with a view of preventing a breach of the peao4 Rule granted. In the the other courts nothing of interest occurred. POLICE INTF.TJJGENCE.--(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. JUVENILE THIEVES AND MARINE STORE DEALERS John Styres, 13, and Mary Ann Gray, 42, a marine store dealer, of Robert-street, in the neighbourhood of the Court, were again brouvlit up, the former charged with stealing 85 leads from 22 and 32, Grosvenor-mews, the property of a !Ir. Newman, and the latter with re ceiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. From the evidence it appeared that, the load being missed from the premises, inquiries were made which led to the apprehension of the boy, who owned he sold it at the shop of the female prisoner. Police-constable Peady then went to the prisoner Grey's shop, and asked her if she had purchased anything of the boy. At first she said some pieces of brass, and then some pieces of iron. On the officer's further pressing her, ,he said only some bits of lead—a pound or two. He then asked her whether that was all, but as she prevaricated in her answers, he made a search, which led to the discovery of a large quantity of had, some brass tobacconist's scales, and other articles. Mr. E. wilmott, agent for the property, residing in Davies-street, Berkeley-square, said the lead found was only a portion of that r.tolen. Mr. Bingham said although the boy had been several times convicted, and the woman was seemingly respect able, he looked upon her as far the worst, for it wag very scandalous that she should purchase such things of a mere boy, as she must have been aware they were stolen. lie should order her to pay the sum of 51., or two months, and the boy he sliould send to prison also for two months. The boy Las several times been convicted. THAMES. AN ARTFUL FEMALE SWINDLER.—After the dispo4al of the night charges at 12 o'clock, Ann Habb, a little woman t.reseed in black, and with a bloated face, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley charged with obtaining money by false pretences in a very adroit manner. For the last five months there have been numerous inquiries at every police-station in the metropolis after a "little woman dressed in black, with a bloated face," who Lad committed numerous frauds. On Saturday the 10 h inst. she was caught. She applied to Dr. Horton, of High-street, Stepney, for a couple of pills and a black draught for her " Missus," who she said lived close by, and requested him ti send his errand boy with the medi cine and change for a sovereign. The prisoner met the boy within a few yards of the place to which he was directed asked him for the change, which he delivered to her, and, pointing ttut the house of her "missile," said, "go there and deliver the medicine and ask for a sovereign." Sbe would have got away with the change, as she had done in numberless other instances, but fortunately Mr. Horton, who bad suspected her, bad sent his assistant to watch her motions, and he gave her into custody di rectly after she obtained the change. John Pritchett, a boy in the service of Mr. Henry Cavendish, grocer and cheese-monger, Mile-end-road, said the prisoner came to h s master's shop on the 25th of March and ordered a pound of fifteen penny butter, to be sent to No. 12, Cottage-grove, Mitie-end, with change for a sovereign. He was on his way to Cottage grove with the butter and the change, when the pri soner met him and asked if ho had the eggs, to which he replied in the negative. She asked him for the change. which he delivered to her, and she told him to proceed to No. 12, Cottage Grove, deliver the butter, and a , 4IE Betsy, the cook, fora sovereign. When he arrived at No. 12, and made known the errand he bad come upon, he was informed that nothing was known of the prisoner, nor had any orders been i-sued fir butter and eggs. pa T rts eh of prisoner tiB,l:ll7ret wagrop ..t.ere were several other cases cf a like nature against th eprisoner, who h a d di str ib uted her favours over all osleiLenced to four months' imprison ment.

The provincial markets held on Saturday were, for the most part, but moderately supplied with wheat; neverthe less, all kinds met a slow inquiry, at barely previous rates to a slight decline in value. Most spring corn, as well as flour, s,,ld to a fair extent on former terms. Throughout the Continent, wheat continues iu rather limited request, both for home use and export, at previous quotation. Other articles have sold steadily, at extreme rates. . . The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. The imports from abroad arnot,nted to 3,671 quarters of wheat, 11,150 of barley, 20,725 oats, 8,028 beans, 150 peas, 250 linseed, 1,005 oilseeds, 5 mus tard, 170 sundry seeds, and 2,223 sacks of flour. The supplies of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, though somewhat in excess of Monday last, were only moderate ; but the general condition of the samples was good. Al though the stands were by no means largely supplied, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled ♦ery inactive, and prices were from 2s to 3s per qr. lower than on this day se nnight. We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat, notwithstanding that the fresh arrivals last week were very moderate. Even the finest samples met a dull in qniry, and prices must be considered is. to 2s. per quarter lower than on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain sold slowly, at about late rates. The show of both English and Foreign barley was only model ate, and the barley trade ruled steady at full quota tions. No quotable change took place in the value of malt, but all kinds were a slow inquiry. There was an increased quantity of foreign oats on offer, but the supply of English was limited. Most kinds were in fair request on former terms. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady request, at full prices. The flour trade ruled heavy, at barely last week's cur rency.

Sales were with difficulty effected at low currencies. For the tune of year, the arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh up this morning were extensive, and in excellent condition. Owing to the thin attendance of both town and country butchers, and the heaviness in the demand in the dead markets, the beef trade ruled heavy in the extreme, at a decline i❑ the quo tations realised on Monday last of 4d. per Slb., the top figure being only 45., and a large portion of the supply was turned out unsold. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,800 Scots and shorthorns; from other pacts of England, 300 of various breeds; from Ireland, 250 oxen ; and from Scotland, 340 Scots. There was by far the largest show of sheep on any mar ket thy during the whole of the year, and the quality of most breeds was good. As regards the mutton trsde, we may observe that it was unusually depressed, and prices, compared with this day se'ennight, fell from 2d. to 4d. per 81b. A few very inferior Downs sold at 55., hut the gene ral top figure for mutton, in the wool, did not exceed 4s. per 81b. Out of the wool, tho extreme price was 4s. 4d. per 81b.

Full average supplies of potatoes have come to hand since Monday last, coastwise and by railway. The reports from the continent have been again extensive—viz., 310 tons from Dunkirk, 390 from Rouen, 35 from Calais, 90 from Fernenzen, 83 from Bruges, 160 from Ghent, 90 from Louvaine, and 650 from Antwerp. The demand generally is in &dive, at our quotations.

Since Monday last 64 bales have arrived from Hamburg. New Mid and East Kent Pockets, 70s to 112 s ; Weald of Kent do., 54s to 768; New Sussex do., 52s to 60s ; Year lings, 21s to 50s. WOOL. The next series of Colonial wool sales is appointed to commence on the 29th inst. The stock here is 44,298 bales—viz., 10,957, Sydney ; 12,807, Port Philip ; 109, Van Dieman's Land ; 11,145, South Australian ; and 7,480 Cape. The quantity expected to be offered is 60.000 bales. Our market is consequently heavy in the extreme, and most kinds of wool may be purchased on lower terms. Last week's imports wore very larger —viz., 1,009 bales from Melbourne, 5,029 from Adelaide, 1,566 from Port Wakefield, 2,393 from Sydney, 859 from Algoa Bay, and 21 bags from Mogadere.

NEWMARKET. As I wr'te, the prospect of a pleasant week is most cheering. Early on this April morning the stti ii shinice with unclouded brightness, and the song of birds ,sues throueh my o,,en window. A peep into the lan, and I perceive strings of horses passing towards the Heath, and many people are already wending their way in the direction of the exercise ground to take stock of the Two Thousand horses. The town is pretty well filled with visitors, and doubtless, by the arrival of this morning's train, every hotel will be crowded. My Notes must be of very scanty dimensions, for I have been able to pick up only the most unconsidered trifles. On Saturday Toxopholite and the Peer bad a rough gallop over the Two Thousand coarse ; Flatman was on the farmer and Sam Templeman on the latter, Both went remarkably well, and Newmarket, to a man, is in love whh The Peer. The withdrawal o f "Tax" is confidently expected. Still people are di.seCsfied that he should be left in the market to be milked. Hepatica and Art:quary were tried tog*. thrr—the former it is fancied will will the One Thousand. Cly3ezdale arrived yesterday, but I have yct bad no op portunity of seeing him gallop. So far as looks go no horse could be fitter, and I am inclined to share the con fidence which his owner places in hie chance. Raven stondale and Fitzroland have attracted much attention. The latter is a small compact horse and may run well. People reprd Lord of Loin with some su.picion. H a pp y Land, I believe, is much fancied by his patty, but after his running at Northampton I am compelled to look upon his staying qualities with considerable doubt. The parti , ans of Findon and of Whitewall are equally confidential. The Peer hag, perhaps, the larger number •of adherent.. I have never wavered in fondness for Ciydesdale, and despite the sinister reports in circula tion, shall stick to him until he prove unworthy of my confidence. I shall therefore select CLYDESDALE for the winner, and recommend an investment on Ethic)• pian and Fitz Roland " for a place." Saraband is " turned loose" for the Handicap Sweep; stakes, T.Y.C., but be appears to have lost all form. New Brighton and Schismatic may have their numbers hoisted at the judge's chair after the race. I may bays an opportunity of discussing fully the chances for the One Thousand on Wednesday. Should no such op portunity present itself I must stand to my present "Jamey" for HEPATICA and PERFECTION. A FRESH MAN' Newtnarket, Monday Morning.

BEREIrAYRN, APRIL 13.—The Admiralty yacht Osborne passed through this harbour about 1 o'clock to-day, and continued her course towards Glengarriff and Bantry, where it is presumed she will remain for a day or two. The weother is ex ceedingly unfavourable, the wind almost a gale, with fog and rain. SRIBBEREEN, APRIL 13.—This day the town of Skihbereeu was visited by the Prince of \Yaho o accompanied by Mr. Gibbs, the Hon. Captain de Ros, and Dr. Minto. They put up at Doyle's Commercial Hotel. During their stay at the hotel the Prince and party asked many questions about the town, and they appeared particularly to admire the Roman Catholic chapel and the Pro vincial Bank. After partaking of refreshment the Prince and party left on one of the hotel cars for Bantry, where the royal 3 acht was lying, and on their arrival there went on board. NAwith standing that 'the weather was unfavourable, the Prince refused to travel in a covered car, pre ferring an outside one, that he might see the country, although atthe expense of a wet jacket.... Cork k. eporter. THE CASE OF THE REV. S. SMITE.—In the course of the week a memorial, having for its oljeet to ebtain a mitigation of the severe sentence passed in this case, has received the signatures of the high sheriff, several of the magistrates, a great number of the clergy, and respect able laity, and has b-en forwarded to the Lord-Lieu tenant of Gloucestershire, Earl Ducie, for presentation, together with others from Gloucester and Chipping Sodbury. THE CASE OF MR. BARBER.—On Saturday a depute* tion, including Lord Ebrington, M.F., Mr. Collier, M.P., and Mr. Brady, M P., waited upon the Home Secretary, to urge the claim of Mr. Barber to compon ea,ion from Government. It will be remembered that Mr Barber, who waq a solicitor in considerable practice, was prosecuted in 1844 by the Bank, at the direction of the stlicitors of the Treasury, for forgery, and trans ported ; but atterwarde his innocence was established, and he was allowed to return. The Home Secretary ex pressed an opinion that as this bad not been strictly a Government prosecution, the State ought not to be liable. The Crown had done no wrong, neither bad the judge or jury done wrong. Mr. Barber was rightly con.' icted, though it subsequently turned out that there bad been a failure of justice by reason of the non-production of other evidence. He admitted, however, that the point al to Mr. Barber's not having been allowed a separate trial was a strong feature in the case. He would speak upon the matter to Lord Derby and the Government, and see what could be done. GOVERNMENT PROSECUTIONS OF WRITERS AND PAIN TERS.—Have we not ourselves—every boy and man of u--either at Eton or Cambridge, discussed tyrannicid• t The truth is, the right to debate this question, like many another, lies far beyond codes and courts of law, and the attempt to prosecute writers and printers en such a ground can only bring disaster and disgrace on the Government. What then Are we to com promise ourselves with assassins q Not at all. We d• not approve Sccialism, but we allow Foamier's works to appear. We object to polygamy, yet tolerate Mor mon newspapers. We deplore the table•turning that turns so many beads, yet we could not prosecute " the Spirits.alist." Let those who are hurt act. A remedy for every wrong i-i at hand. If the prase isfres,t l h e e t courts are open. If any one is menaced or . defamed, n lam oWn him seek protection ; but let him seek fl t r t e, i name, and let him bear the odium fail to prove his case.
