CITY, Two o'CLocx, The accounts from the manufacturing districts state that during the past week there has been less activity in most branehei of business. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has bee3i dull, the orders from the United States having been exceed ingly limited. In the miscellaneous trl Ides of Bir mingham and its neighbourhood no great activity has been apparent. Factors' orders, generally, were light, owing to the near approach of Christmas. At Sheffield business has been suspended to some extent, and at Wolverhampton the various fancy trades of the market were not very active. The colliers, however, are generally at work at the reduced rate of wages. At Leeds the chief de mand has ben for goods suitable to the ensuing spring trade, and most of the manufacturers were exceedingl . - busy in the preparation of light fabrics to supply the expected demand. At Man chester both cloths and yarns have been. in active demand, and prices have an upward tendency. The demand for piece goods at Bradford has been steady, but at barely late rates. Worsted goods have been dull, but full rates are currer.t, owing to the high prices ruling for all descriptions of wool. At Leicester continued activity prevails in the ~ yorsted-hosiery trade, and orders have to wait for some time before they can be execs tted. The operatives arc, in most instances, well employed vidat an advanced rate of wages. Business in the lace trade at Nottingham continues dull. but yarns arc firm. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, On Saturday, rather more animation was apparent, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimalted at 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market a :fair amount of business was transacted, and quotations slightly improved. There is still very little inquiry for discoun accommodation, either in Lombard-street or at the Stock Exchange, trade as well as speculation being remarkably quiet, and unusually Low rates are a ccepted by capitalists for the negof6iation of loans or discount operations. Several enr;agements, how ever, have to be met this week, including sett lements in Foreign Stoclks and Railway shares and the commercial bills of the 4th of the mon th. A temporary impulse may, therefore, be given to the general inquiry, but the market at present is exceedingly quiet. About £25,000 in gold was taken from the Bank on Saturday for transmission to France . The intellige-ace of the safety- of the Indian Empire has giv en general satisfaction, for although the recent tempestuous weather had delayed the arrival of many vessels now ascertained to have escaped dangc:r, the numerous wrecks reported in all directions n iaturally excited a feeling of appre hension with r egard to this steamer, especially as she had on boa rd a large number of passengers. The tardy arrival of the Agincourt, and of this vessel, besides the knowledge that ships from St. Helena are coming in after seventy to seventy-five d ays' (and in some cases more) detention at sea should allay the anxiety of " friends at hi nne" at the absence of information relative to the " homeward-bound, ;" but there can be no doubt that the last few Y months have been more disastrous to shipping than. have been known for many years. The losses 'reported Off China, and the disasters witnessed fl:om the Alhambra, arrived from the Peninsula on Saturday, lead to the inference that a serious list of casualties will yet be received before the en d of the year. Owing to the extreme qu'ietude of business, the market for Public Securities remains without the slghtest change of importance. Speculation seems to have been brought to a stand, in the absence of any new feature connected with money or politics to influence opinion. Quotations, however, are supported, and, in the event of money purchases being effected, just before the closing of the trans fer books, symptoms of buoyancy will no doubt appear. Consols have been 981 I for money and the 7th Fox., and. 98Z 3 for the account in January next. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are marked 961 y ; the March Exchequer Bills, 375. to 40s. preen. ; ditto June, 355. to 375. s prem. ; India Debentures 993 ; and ditto Bonds, 10s. to 14s. prem. Bank Stock is 2241 ; India ditto, 226. The liquidation of the half-monthly account has occasioned some animation in the Foreign Market, but no important change in values has occlarred. Chilian Loan is firm at 1 1 prem. Turkish Scrip is Ito dis. for the Ist issue, and 1 1 prem. for the 2d issue ; the old 6 per Cents. have been 921 1. Spanish Threes are 471 ; ditto Deferred, 301 31; Peruvian Dollar Bonds, 801; ditto 41 per Cents., 934 94 ; and ditto 3 per Cents., 741. Vene zuela 5 per Cents, are 41 to 411; ditto De- ferred, 151. The settlement of the account still occupies the chief attention of the dealers in the Railway Share Market. In some few instances stock is rath er S short, and prices show an upward tendency. The charges for carrying over" are very moderate. Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved ss. ; Great Northern, 10s. ; Caledonian, Eastern Coun ties, North Western, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 15s. Great Western have declined about ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there is scarcely any business doing. East Indian have improved about 55., and Great Indian Peninsula declined 6s. Dutch Rhenish, Great Luxemburg, and Pernambuco brought about fernier rates. Mining shares have been rather more active. South Cadogan are dealt in at 415 ; South Wheal Frances at 42 43 ; Cobre Copper at 37i, and Bon Accord Copper at Joint Stock Bank and miscellaneous shares are dull, but at fully former rates.

THE PHCENIX INSURANCE COMPANY- The contention in this case was whether the plaintiff's life policy was an annual or quarterly life policy of insur ance. The Court of Queen's Bench, by their judgment in favour of defendants, found that the policy was a quarterly policy, and that, in the circumstances of the case, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover under it. The Lord Chief Baron (Pollock) delivered the judgment of the Court of Error this morning, reversing the judgment of the court below, and finding that the policy of insurance was an aunual policy, and that the plaintiff was entitled to recover under the life policy of insurance. Judgment for the plaintiff. This was an action of damages for assault between two brothers. The one brother assaulted the other, who was protecting his mother from his brother's violence ; and the question raised was, whether the defendant exceeded the due protection of his mother in assaulting the plaintiff. Lord Campbell suggested the propriety of referring this case to arbitration, as it was a family case, and a public investigation might disclose family matters under painful circumstances. Counsel for both parties consented, on condition that the reference was immediately proceeded with. Of consent a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subjec] to a reference to arbitration. GREENE V. HAYES, BART. Plaintiff claimed £4.50 commission for obtaining for the defendant a loan of £30,000 on his estates in the county of Donegal, Ireland, in June, 1857. Defendant pleaded never indebted, the security never was completed, and the money never was obtained. After the examination of witnesses in the cause, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court on the facts of the case. DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MARCHMONT V. MARCHMONT. Mr. Sergeant Pigott this morning replied, on behalf of Mrs. Marchmont, to evidence adduced by the husband. The learned sergeant, in the course of a very eloquent speech, contended that the petitioner had made out her case, and was, therefore, entitled to a verdict. The petitioner (Mrs. Marchmont) was fora judicial sepa ration on the ground of cruelty. The pleas were a denial of the cruelty and condonation. [We shall, in the event of the verdict being gives, publish it in our late edition.] Plaintiff is a wood engraver, and sought to recover £5 for some engravings made from stereoscopic pictures at the order of defendant, proprietor of Thorley's Patent Food for Cattle. Mr. Buchanan appeared for defendant, who objected paying for the work as it was so indifferently accomplished as to be perfectly useless. Mr. Buchanan called his Honou's attention to the fact that in no one instance did the copy resemble the original. In the original, his Honour would see Mr. Thorley, his father, and eight workmen, standing round a resuscitated animal with wonder and delight. (Laughter.) His Honour—Wonder I Mr. Buchanan—Yes; just look at the other picture. Now, in defendant's engraving intended for our almanack the horse is a perfect disgrace—it. does not look a bit as i it had partaken of our patent food. (Roars of laughter.) Altogether the picture is of no earthly use, and so we refuse it. Plaintiff insisted that it was well done, and well worth the money. He was pressed for time, and a finished affair was not expected. To rebut this Mr. Hodgson (Hodgson's time-tables), a person of great experience, was called, and he stated that plaintiff had ample time, and that the engraving was not worth half what was charged for it. His Honour said that, looking at the stereoscopic pic ture, he thought it would be an arduous task to make a reduced wood engraving at the price of £5 ; but, after the evidence adduced for defendant, he thought a verdict for £3 would meet the merits of the case.

The particulars of the former trial have appeared in this journal. The claim was for some deficiency in a case of wine sold by defendant at his public sale. On a former occasion plain tiff obtained a verdict, and now defendant sought for a new trial on the following grounds :—That by the terms of the contract plaintiff should have laid his complaint within one week froni the day of sale. That the plaintiff had paid the duty —and that defendant had diselosed his principals upon complaint being made. Plaintiff did not lay his complaint until two months after the day of sale. Plaintiff insisted that in tho catalogue one of the terms was, "actual present quality and quantity," and that defendant sent in the account in his own name, and that therefore the verdict should not be disturbed. His Honour thought that he must grant a new trial on the ground that plaintiff had not laid his complaint within one week, and had paid the duty. POUND V. BARNETT:IMPORTANT TO SHIP BROKERS, Plaintiff is an extensive wine and spirit merchant of the city and defendants are ship brokers. The action was brought to recover a sum of £25 for demurrage of a barge three days at 15s. per day. Plaintiff proved that he had made arrangements for the craft, containing 100 puncheons of rum, to be alongside the vessel for unloading upon a certain day. Accordingly the craft was placed alongside the ship, and was detained there six days. Plaintiff only claimed for three, and defendants had agreed to pay something. The captain had absolutely refused to take the goods at first. Upon the part of defendant it was urged that the brokers should not be made liable, as they were not responsible for any misconduct on the part of the captain. It was also impossible for the defendant to fix any precise time for re ceiving goods from complainant. Plaintiff—l took care to inquire, and was informed that the ship would be ready to take the goods upon a particular day. I made defendants a present of three days. If lam to lose this money it will make a difference of £2OO a year to me ; besides these defendants have, on a former occasion, paid a precisely similar claim. Defendant thought it would be very hard to make ship brokers liable. It was very important, and certainly a novel case. His Honour thought that plaintiff should recover as in the contract made or implied; he only knew defendants as owners. Defendant—The usual claim is ss. a day, and that we never have objected to pay. That sum is always accepted. His Honour thought that there was a custom, and he could only award plaintiff ss. a day. No doubt plaintiff would be a loser. Plaintiff—Oh, I shall indeed. This was a large barge. His Honour—Well, I will give you a verdict for £1 ss. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA HOUSE.—The panto mime which Mr. Harrison purposes producing at Christmas, at this theatre, is being written by Mr. Bridgman and Mr. Sutherland Edwards, and Will be entitled "Little Red Riding-Hood." EXTENSIVE FIRE IN THE CITY. Yesterday (Friday) morning, between the hours of three and four o'clock, a fire broke out lathe premises belonging to Messrs. Whistler and Co., wholesale sugar dealers, &c., situate at No. 8, Fenchurch-street, City. The amount of damage done is thus officially reported by Mr. Braidwood :—" The back sale rooms and counting house on ground floor burnt out; the back rooms of the building are also serio us l y da maged by fire, and the rest of the house and contents by water. The building was insured in the Bank of Englsnd Fire-office, and the contents were insured in the Phcenix Fire-office. The skylights over the back offices of Mes srs . Ilankey and Co., the bankers, are also damaged and the glass broken. The offices situate at Nos. .2 and 3, in Philpot-lane, have their back fronts seriously damitged by fire, The origin of the misfortune could not bo ascertained." POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. --(This Day.) MAR LB ORO UGH- STREET. ASSAULT BY A CONCERT MANAGER ON A FEMALE.— Charles Michael Shee, well known as a manager and superintendent of concerts, was brought up on a warrant, charged with assaulting Mrs. Emma Nash, of 10, Lisle street, Leicester-square. The prosecutrix said that on Saturday night the prisoner came to her house, and after calling her a and making use of the most disgusting and abusive language towards her, made a rush towards her with a large thick stick, and said he would strike her down, and would have succeeded in doing so, but for the interposition of another person. His object in coming to her house was to look for his wife, who had separated from him ; but she was not at her house at the time, though she was giving her shelter. She firmly believed he would do her some injury, as he had declared to a person that he would smash her. The prisoner, who, it is said, 'had been for some time bouring under great mental excitement, said he simply went after his wife, believing she was secreted there, and on his asking for her, the prosecutrix made a rush at him, and he certainly did say he " would knock her teeth down her throat," and he had great cause for doing so. The daughter of the prosecutrix confirmed her mother's statement, and said it was only on a policeman being talked about that the prisoner left. Mr. Beadon asked whether it was not the case when he had been shown some letters. The prosecutrix replied that it was, and, handing one of them to the magistrate, said they were of a very filthy nature. The prisoner wished to call a witness, but Mr. Beadon said he considered the letter quite sufficient, and ordered the prisoner to find two sureties in the sum of 120 each for his good behaviour for the next six weeks, and on an ap plication being afterwards made for protection for the wife, the worthy magistrate said what he had already done would be sufficient protection. THANE S. DARING BURGLARY IN A DWELLING-lIOUSE.—Henry Gardner, aged 24, and described as a general dealer, of No. 7, John-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Selfe, on remand, charged with breaking into a dwelling house, and stealing a cotton dress, a shawl, a pair of trousers, an apron, and other articles, the property of Henry D. Uston, an appraiser, of No. 24, Wellclose-squaro. The prosecutor stated that, on Thursday last, he had been away from home a short time, and came in again at one o'clock, closed the door of his house, and went into the kitchen. He had not been there long before he heard a lodger come in without opening the door. This aroused his suspicions, and he commenced searching the house, and in a back room of the ground floor discovered the prisoner in the act •f making up a bundle of goods he bad taken from a drawer and other places. He seized the prisoner, who said, " I have done wrong." The prisoner had ad mitted himself into the house by means of a latch-key, which fitted the lock of the street door. Mr. Selfe—ls the key yours ? Mr. Alston—lt is not, sir. Roche, the gaoler—l know the prisoner, your worship. Roche—You were committed from this court seven years ago for a burglary, convicted, and sentenced to ten years' transportation, and I believe you have been released with a ticket-of-leave. Mr. Selfe—l wonder some of the police don't know the prisoner. Roche—Those who had him in custody, or saw him seven years ago, are either dead or have left the force. The prisoner was committed for trial. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Nov. 29.—Wind this day at noon, S. ; light breeze, and dull, cloudy, and very m ild weat h er.

Abotit an'average business was transacted in wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices were well supported. Barley and oats were firm, and quite as dear as in ,the previous week; but other articles were a slow inquiry, at late currencies. Throughout the Continent - wheat has moved off slowly, but without much change in value. Spring corn has sold somewhat steadily, at full quotations. In the United States both wheat and flour have continued steady. Tho supply of wheat received up to our market, last week, coastwise, was on the increase. The imports from abroad were 6,557 qrs. of wheat, 8,008 of barley, 41,628 oats, 815 rye, 3,380 beans, • 102 peas, 139 tares, 3,920 linseed, 4,455 rapeseed, 5 mustard seed, 132 sundry seeds, 1,769 sacks and 485 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, a slightly increased supply of wheat was received, coastwise and by land carriage. Although the stands were by no means extensively supplied with. samples, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and in some instances, prices gave way is per quarter when compared with this day se'nnight. The general quality of the supply was indifferent. The show of foreign wheat was. again extensive. Even the finest samples met a dull enquiry, but, compared with last week, no quotable change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of g r a i n were d u ll, b u t no t c h ea per. Fine barley was scarce, and in steady request at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull and the turn lower. a I Malt was tolerably firm at previous currencies. We were well supplied with oats. Good and fine samples moved off slowly, on former terms, and inferior samples were rather cheaper. In beans very little business was transacted, and prices were the turn lower. Peas changed hands slowly, at a slight reduction in value. The flour trade was dull, at 'barely last week's quotations.

Both the kasts and sheep were in very poor condition. Although the arrivals of home -fed beasts were rather limited, we have to report a'very dull inquiry for all breeds, and in some instances prices were 2d per 81bs lower than on this day se'nnight.. A few very superior Scots sold at 4s 10d; but the, general top igure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs. The general quality of the supply was very middling. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,050 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 150 Scots ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen, &c. Although the show of all breeds. of sheep was limited, and its quality was inferior, the mutton trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and in most transactions prices gave way 2d per Blbs. The extreme value of the best old Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs. Only about 350 Irish sheep were in the market. We were scantily suppliedwith calves ; nevertheless, the veal trade ruled heavy, at a further decline in value of 2d per Sibs., the top figure being 4s 6d. The pork trade was mud - depressed, and prices wore almost nominal. Per 81bs. to , link the offal. s. d. s..d. s. d. s. d.

The animal operated upon was a valuable black horse belonging to Mr. Metcalfe, of Walkington Weld, which was suffering from water on the chest, and from which Mr. Holmes succeeded in extracting the enormous quantity of lsf gallons of water in one drawing. This extraordinary operation was per formed with perfect success without a second operation being necessary, and although only a short time since, the horse is perfectly well, and it would be difficult to, detect that anything has ever been the matter with it, or that any operation has been performed ; in fact, the horse is doing all the ordinary work with the rest of the team, and has re rained its condition to the fullest extent. This is the only Instance on record where such an operation has been per formed with any degree of success-.how the animal had lived with such an enormous quantity of water on the chest was sufficiently extraordinary—we are informed that ha was fast drowning ; but the fact of its being extracted without the slightest injury is positively wonderfal.—Mancheeter Guardian.

Imagine a man of the genius and eminence of our Lord Brougham, or Lord Macaulay-, brought up for a political offence—a libel, or a seditious speech--before the sitting magistrate at Bow street, and dealt with in the same expeditious way that his worship deals with the night charges, and. you have a pretty correct idea of the sort of trial to which Louis Napoleon has subjected M. Mon talembert. It is enough to name the sixth cham ber of the Tribunal of Correctional Police, to give our readers a conception of the independent and dig nified tribunal by which one of the foremost men in France has been summarily convicted, fined, and sent to jail. How such a proceeding will be viewed by the French - nation time will reveal. The predic tions that rise to our lips we refrain from uttering, but let no consideration prevent us from proclaim ing the feeling with which in England we regard these unrighteous acts. We should be slaves ourselves did we hesitate for a moment to protest in the name of liberty and justice against an out rage as great as tyranny ever committed upon either. Let it be known to all the world that we are allied to the Empire without being confede rates in its crimes. Let the ,Patriotism of France be again assured, in this hdur of its severest trial, that it has still its inviolable asylum in the heart of England. With a moral support like this, the sympathies of every good man in France, and the lustre of his own genius and suffering virtue round about him, M. Montalembert in his dungeon will sit in a brighter day than his oppressor enjoys in his palace, and feel an inward cheer, and faith in the future, unknown to the commander of a million of bayonets. It is easy to understand the low speculation of the Imperial Government in treating a man of the highest mark on the footing of a common pick pocket. It was calculated, no doubt, that the cain• would be degraded in the person of its advocate ; that the scorn affected to the individual would fall upon the principles maintained and represented by him. Here was another blunder as great as any the Emperor has committed since he commenced his insane career. He ought to have known that to dishonour such a person as M. Montalembert is a feat beyond his power. Honour is independent of the usage it meets with in this evil world. It " pecreth," as the poet hath it, " through the meanest habit." Montalembert in a'inison dress would still be the pride and ornament of ,France. The Emperor seems to have thought that to pse a good man infamously is to make him infamort.s and that an obscure prosecution would involve ita victim in the same obscurity. He has utterly, lost his memory, or he would have recollected that the greatest and purest fame ever achieved has been' drawn from the very depths of contumely. And he would also have remembered that, though deeds of wrong . may be done in a corner, there is always an avenging voice to proclaim them sooner or later from the house-tops. We are indebted to the Daily News for as much of a report as was practicable of this memorable state trial in a police office. The author of it tells us that all that eloquence could do, combined with law, in the persons of MM. Berryer and Dufaure, was done on the part of the defence. M. Montalembert was examined himself to prove the inuendoes in the accusation, a practice in con ' formity with French notions of justice, though per fectly .at variance with ours. His answers were, • of course, as frank and fearless as the writing he was questioned on. He admitted the guilt of admir ing the institutions of England, and the aggravated offence of regretting that France had lost them. He acknowledged that when he spoke of a joyful escape to this free country from "pestiferous miasma and corrupt atmosphere," he alluded to the air that Frenchmen are condemned to breathe under the Empire. As to his assertion that the press of France is gagged, his reply was that he had merely stated a matter of fact. On the other hand, he denied that he meant to arrogate exclusive honesty to himself and his friends, or to brand with cowar dice the eight millions of Frenchmen who had voted for the Emperor. As to kuch expressions as that with some people " their ideas of happiness and honour were very different," and his denun ciations of "flatterers and sycophants," he stood upon his right to assert of classes what would. not be justifiable if applied to individuals : there had been sycophants under all Governments ; and M. Montalembert bravely avowed his opinion that their number had not declined under the present. The speech of the Procureur seems to have been as feeble as was to have been expected from an obscure official, abashed not merely by the poverty of his case, but by finding himself in the very presence of such - men as Montalembert and his counsel. He tried, however, to make up for his deficiencies by violence of language and the grossest liberties with truth. "Englishmen," he said among other things, " had their good qualities and faults, but one merit they had incontestably— they always spoke well of their own nation." M. Le Procureur could not possibly have said anything of the people of this country more notoriously at variance with the fact ; and the falsehood was the more glaring coming immediately after the charge against M. Montalembert, that he had maliciously extolled England for a dishonest political purpose, the very trick of the wretched functionary himself, and only worthy of su c h an a bj ec t t oo l of powet. Judging from the speech of the Em peror's respectable law-officer on this occa sion, it is evident enough that the praises of England are the 'points that have most galled him in the publication he had the folly to arraign. We are told that the excited Procureur concluded with apostrophising M. Montalembert as a man who had lost the feelings of a Frenchman. He exclaimed, and thrice repeated the rude exclamation, " You have laid France prostrate at the feet of England ; you have struck France in the face—yes, struck her in the face, unworthily struck her in the face." Eloquence like this enjoys an immunity from cri ticism. France is prostrate and stricken indeed ; but all the world knows who are guilty and who are innocent of her fall and her dishonour. M. Berryer is said to have eclipsed the best efforts of a life in which he has so often distinguished himself as an orator and law- Ter. Slight as the sketch of his argument is, it contains enough to show that seventy years have not impaired his intellect, or quenched his fire. We shall give only two illustrations, and for the rest refer the reader to our columns of news. To affirm that France did not now possess liberty, he argued, " was not an attack upon the Govern ment, but merely the assertion of a notorious and undeniable fact." Thereupon the President interrupted him ; told him he was going too far, and repeating the very offence with which the defendant stood charged. We can well imagine the vehemence of the veteran's retort. "M. Berryer, with a gesture of eloquent astonishment, continued—Must I then throw up my brief ? Have 1 lost my reason and conscience ? Do I understand what the court means ? Can it be that a counsel is to be construed as attacking the government because he will not say that black is white? Why, it is the boast of the government that it has bartered liberty for order—and it has done so, it says, with the consent of the French people ; and that lam not here to deny. Yes, France has repudiated her ow n liberty. That is a fact which some people may, and others may not, regret; but it is not rational to hold it an offence in any ono to state the simple fact that liberty does not now emlst."' With one and the Fame breath the Empire boasts itself better than any free government, and prose cutes and punishes men for describing or even naming its own wiser and happier institutions. With monstrous inconsistency it declarei that it stands between France and the mischiefs of liberty, yet makes it high treason to affirm the absence of the very liberty against which it professes to pro tect the nation. Coming to the most important count in the indict ment, that of an attack on 'the rights of the Emperor under the constitution and the principle of universal suf frage,' he would prove to demonstration that there was no scrap of law to support it. This accusation was entirely based upon a law of ISI9, passed to protect from attacks and insults the constitution of the Republic,with a President for four years. How could that law be applicable to the empire ? Would--it, be replied, by analogy 't • This was his answer. In 1819 a law couched in somewhat similar language Vlac passed to protect the charter of the restoration granted by Louis XVIII. of his sovereign will and mere motion by virtue of ' his rights by birth.'g Louis XVIII. swore• to maintain this charter, and he kept his oath. (Laughter and sensation in court.) When the re volution of 1830 took place, it never occurred to any lawyer or .statesman that the law of 1819, made for a charter so granted by a King by right of birth, could be applicable to the constitutional monarchy of the Roi des Francais, and accordingly Louis Philippe's government passed a new law to a similar effect. Again, in 1848, when we had a single sovereign assembly, a law was passed for the protection of that constitution • and when, in 1849, .the term of govern - went was again changed, though not in , l any such radical manner as it was subsequently :in 1852, another law was . passed to meet the circumstance. If the present theirent govern ment bad neglected to renew that lawown fault ; but that was no reason why they should pc so c w o i nd th e al m l n la a w ;na a : d m , a e c r t e i l n y g b u eo p s o o n se pu h re e l y w a a r s bitr ob a n n o r xius He concluded principles,n by a brilliant and impassioned peroration, which I wlil not attempt to quote from." PROSECUTION OF M. DE MONTALEAIBERT.—It has been determined in the City—a fine of 3,000 fr. having been imposed by the disgraceful sentence just passed upon M. de Montalcmbert—to raise that amount by a shilling sub scription : not that the amount itself is of importance, but solely as a mark of English sympathy. It is believed that all those who value, nationally, the c!evating influence of free discussion, so completely annihilated, for a time, throughout France, will be glad to avail themselves of the opportunity thus offered of showing their respect for the fearleSs, honest. and truthful eloquence of M. de Montalem bert: Mr. Effingham Wilson, 11, Royal Exchange, has consented to receive subscriptions. ?M. 4 2al stook) Sto.
