FURTHER EXAMINATION OF M. BERNARD AT BO W-STRE ET. This morning the fourth examination of Simon Bernard, who stands charged with being concerned in the late attempted assassination of the Emperor Napoleon on the 14th of January last, took place at Bow•street. The passage leading to the court was densely crowded, wad, in a very short time after the opening of the door, the court was crowded to excess. Mr. 'Bodkin appeared to conduct the prosecution on the part of the Treasury, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. The French vice-consul, Sir Richard Mayne, the Chief Conamisioner of Police, and several other persons occupied seats on the bench. The first witness called, was Mr. Edward Chambers Nichols)n, one of the firm of Simpson and Co., of Kennington, wholesale chemists and proprietors of the Atlas Works at Walworth—said the firm are engaged in making fulminating powder for the Government to a large extent. Thr powder is composed of one part mercury, from 8i to 10 of nitric acid, and from 8i to 3i alcohol. Those are the limits-8i would be a gallon of alcohol. The strength of the alcohol would be 64 overproof. Eight parts of absolute alcohol and water makes proof spirit. Nine pounds absolute alcohol, ten pounds of pure nitric acid, and one pound of mercury would be the ingredients to make fulminating powder. The no wder would be highly explosive. We always keep it wet, it is then harmless, but before it can be used for explosive pur poses it must be dried. Its chief application is in the preparation of percussion caps. Both nitre and alcohol are used for photographic purposes. In the collodion process they are not used in combination. Quicksilver is not used in the ordinary photographic process. It is in the daquerrotype, but in this ptooess I believe neither of the other articles are used. The latter process i■ almost superseded. Jean Decallie—l reside in the Rae Lafitte, Paris. I was near a chemist's shop soon after the explosion took place on the 14th of June. I saw a man come out of the shop. He was wounded in the head, and blood was flowing from the wound. I hare since seen Orsini in Paris. He is the man. The shop is about 150 yards from the Emperor's entrance to the opera in the Rae Lopellitier. Leon ➢iot—l reside in Paris, In Jane last I was a waiter in a restuarant in the Rae Lepellitier. It imme diately faces the French Opera-house. I heard the explosion, and directly afterwards about fifty persons same into the cafe wounded. I recollect one man in particular, he came in crying ; he remained about two hours. I have since seen Gomez in Paris. He is the man. He was taken away by the police. After he left, the house was searched, and a revolver pistol with five barrels was found. It was loaded and had a cap on it. [lnspector Saunders here produced a pistol and the witness immediately identified it as one he found.] By Mr. Sleigh- Immediately I found the pistol I gave it to the pllics. I have seen the pistol since I gave it to the police. It was in Paris. I made no mark on it. A. number of new pistols were laid on the table is the court before me and I selected the one produced frost amongst them as the one I found. There was not another at all like it. The handles of all the others were polished ; this one was crossed. By Mr. Bodkin—l particularly noticed at the time I found the pistol the handle of it was crossed. By Mr. Sleigh—At the trial in Paris I showed the pistol to Gomez and he recognised it as his property. Whenever I saw Gomez at the cafe he was always in his own apartment. By tie Magistrate Daring the time I was en gaged in attending to the wounded Gomez could have gone into the room where the pistol was found. Isaac Hollis, jun., a gunrnaker, residing at Bircein ham, said—On the 23d of November last a person came to our premises to purchase firearms. I have seen Pierri in Paris. He is the person. Pierri inquired about revolvers. Mr. Bodkin—Did he tell you were you to send a revolver? Mr. Sleigh—l object to that question until you con. sect the prisoner with Pierri. Mr. Bodkin—l think I have done so abundantly. Mr. Jardine—l think it is a proper question. Witness—l sent the pistol produced by his directions to 106, Bath-street, Birmingham. I recognise it by its number. 6,841. I entered the purchase in the day-book. Mr. Holies, sen.—l identify the two pistols produced. I sold them on the 29th of October to Pierri. There was another person in company with Pierri. I have seen the prisoner Orsini in Paris. I think he is that person. Orsini paid for the pistols. Mr. Sleigh--Would you like to swear to Orsini being he man! Witness—No, I should not. Mr. Bodkin—Had not the beard which he wore when you first saw him been removed ? Witness—Yes, it had. Pierre Debarge—l recollect the attempt on the life of the Emreror. I was standing that evening near my own residence in the Rue Monthabor. I saw Orsini, Pierri Gomez, and Indio there. Gomez had something in a handkerchief. It seemed heavy, and looked like erangee. The witness here put one of the grenades into the handkerchief. and showed how the prrcel was carried. Louis Meckenheim—l know the prisoner Pierri. I remember his coming to see me at Brussels on the 7th of Jan. We went to the Cafe Suisse. He had long black hair and beard. I recollect his speaking to a person in the Cafe. I did not know his name, but now know it to be Georgi. Aft er G eorg i had spoken to Pierri, he wentinto a room a n d b roug h t ont a parcel, which he gave to him. It resembled the packet before me (two halve, of a grenade wrapped up in paper). I saw Pierri leave Brussels for Paris. He took the parcel I have mentioned with him. Louis Francais Devisme, gunmaker, Boulevard des Italien. I was called in by the authorities to examine the grenade I now hold in my hand. There were caps upon all the nipples. I first took off the caps, and I then tapped the balls with my fingers, and the ful• minating powder cams through the nipples. When I was convinced that there was no more fulminating powder in it, I proceeded to unscrew the top, but before doing so I took out one of the uipples. I put water through the hole, the water being only slightly coloured. I felt cer tain the grenade was empty. I produce the fulminating ;ioterder and w a t er I t oo k f rom t h e b om b. I t was con tained in a f our - ounce b ottle. The powder occupied a b out a quarter of the bottle. I have made fulminating pow del and I know that the 'in the bottle is fulminating mercury in substance jhuntary on 7ury in its pure state. On the ith of me. I ni purchased the pistol produced of r emember it by the number :(7,518). It was t e h n e a w i: a ri p t , backand o n t the following day he brought 0: that r e the h ammer , w hi c h was broken, repai re d, occasion he was accomnanied by Pierri. On the 12th it was fetched away by Gomez. On the night of the attempt I was called t o th e Pre fecture de Police and shore P r i ,th i , Pierri, and Gomez there. I I saw Orsini, hadpaistoh nversation with theta about the weapon. Pierri said th c a o t t h e pistol suited him very well, but it was unfortunate the hammer was Iseeken.

My husband resided in London. When I came to London I resided in Bateman's Build. info. Mr. Sleigh—l do not think that the present witness can be examined any farther. She is the wife of one of the conspirators, and as such she was not compelled to answer any more questions. Mr. Bodkin—No ; not if her evidence tended to criminate her husband. The objection of my learned friend has been anticipated, and a pardon for Rudio, in England, is therefore being prepared by the Attorney- General, under the Great Seal of England, which would restore the competency of the witness. Mr. Sleigh—l an not prepared to admit this. I shall not object to the court proceeding as this is not a fi ❑al court. The examination was then proceeded with. While living in Bateman's-buildings we were very badly off. Whilst we were in a very distressed state the prisoner Barnard came to our lodgings a short time after Christ Las, and, having made some inquiries, gave us ten shillings. He shortly afterwards called again, and finally it was arranged that whenever Bernard called he would ring the bell twice, and then my husband was to go down. He never told me his name. One occasion, after the bell had rung twice, my husband brought up six shillings. Mr. Sleigh again objected to the examination of this witness. Mr. Jardine—l think the examination ought to pro ceed. I will see that nothing is done to the prejudice of the husband. Examination continued—On one occasion Bernard gave me half a sovreeign. He asked why we did nut come to him if we wanted money. He told me he would find a situation for my husband. He also said he would find him clothing, and then he asked if we had got a carpet-bag. I told him we had not, and he then asked if we had a box. I pointed to my husband's clothes-box, but he said it was too large, and that he would get a ba g . About half-an-hour after B..rnard had left my husband came home. I showed him the half sovereign, and told him what had happened. Bernard came again the same week, in the night time, as usual. The bell rung twice, and my husband went down stairs. I saw it was Barnard from the window. On the Friday, as my husband left London on the Saturday, the prisoner came ; my husband was out. I saw him come up into the room. He gave me half-a-sovereign to get my husband's clothes out of pawn. I did as he directed, and when I returned I found that my husband bad re turned and the prisoner had left. In about an hour after I returned fromthe pawnbroker's the prisoner called again, and on coming into the room he said to my husband, " Now, you go away in the morning." They spoke in French. I understand Italian, but not French. The prisoner wrote several notes, but I can't say what they were about. He gave me his address, and told me to go to the Cafe Suisse, in Tichbourne-street, when I wanted anything. My husband went out, and re turned with a carpet-bag. Before the prisoner came, 1 know my husband had no money, but after he left I saw some French money laying on the table. It looked like one of our half sovereings and a crown. He said I was to have 12e. a week during my husband's absence. It was to be sent every Monday. My husband left London in the morning. The prisoner never came again. My husband took his passport with him. Bernard said he had been all over London one day, but could not get it. He, however, brought it the following day. I recollect the name of Da Silva being mentioned. I did not know where my husband was going, but I thought it was Paris, and that he was going to some house there, numbered 277. I heard Mr. Bernard say when he got there he would find somebody he knew. Prisoner said this in Italian. On the Tuesday, as my husband left on the Friday, I went to the Cafe Suisse to ascertain the reason the 12s. had not arrived. I did not see the prisoner there, but the following evening he came to our lodging. He said he was very sorry he could n come before as he had business to attend to. He gave me the sum of twelve shillings and said I must have plenty to eat and plenty of warmth, and then he bade me good night. On one occasion, when he called on me, he said he hoped I was quite well, that my husband was so, and that he would soon return, and we should ao longer want for anything. On the follow ing Monday he called and gave me a sovereign, and told me to go to my grandmother at Nottingham. He asked if there was a train left for that place during that day. I told him no ; and he then said I must go the next morning, and if anybody asked where I was going, I was to say I was going to Godalming, in Surrey. He said that he would send my weekly money by Post-office order, but that he should not use my marriage name, Rudie. He asked me my maiden name, and I told him it was Booth, and he said he would send the money in that same. He also told me if I saw anything in the newspapers about my husband that I was to take no notice of it. I asked for what reason my husband's name should ap pear is the newspapers. He made no answer to that question, but told me to tell everybody who :spoke to me about it that I knew the character of my husband very well. I lever saw the prisoner after I left London for Nottingham. I received one letter from my husband. I don't know what became of it. I believe the papers found at my lodgings are in tie possession of Mr. Smith, the officer. He fetched me from Nottingham. I went by my own name o! Radio in Nottingham. Mr. Sleigh—l was found in Nottingham by Sergeant Smith. I am new lodging at an hotel in the Strand. I don't pay for them. I was taken to Paris a few weeks ago. I was toll I should be asked to be a witness in this case, when I was in Nottingham. I have been to Paris to see my husband. I have not told him he was to have a pardon if I told all I knew. Without any intimation from me my husband told me to tell all I knew, I have hope that my hus band will be pardoned. I have not been told that he will be pardoned by any person in authority. I speak Italian, I know the words for 277 in the Italian language. I never told Bernard to send the money to me at Nottingham in my maiden name, He said he would do so. _ Harriet Fay—l lodged in the same house as Rudio did, in Bateman'e•buddings. The prisoner Bernard once came into my room by mistake. I have seen him on other occasions. I have seen Rudio with money immediately after Bernard left his room. Rudio and his wife were completely destitute. After Bernard came on one occasion Rudio paid me very small sums I had lent him. They were in great distress. Radio went about for weeks with only his trousers and thin coat on, locking for employment. I never knew persons in greater want. I saw some papers lying on the table, it had the words "Paris," "Da Silva," written on it. I asked Rudio why he was going to Birmingham and Ldicester on his way to Paris, and he said he was going out as a travelling correspondent. Rudio's wife received one letter from him after his departure. As she could not real she brought it to me. Mr. Bodkin to Sergeant Smith—You took possession , of ituclio's papers—where is the letter c! I Sergeant Smith—l have not got the letter. Mr. Bodkin —Was it not amongst the papers you took possession of Witness—No. Mr. Bodkin (addressing the magistrate)—That, sir, is l all the evidence I shall be able to lay before you to-day. lI had hoped that I should have been able to b r i ng thi s case to a conclusion to-day, but I find that one of our iwitnesses has left London, but that he will return by Saturday. I therefore have to ask you to remand the prisoner till that day, when in about two hours I shall be able to bring this case to a conclusion. Mr. Jardine —Saturday will be a very inconvenient day. I shall not be sitting. Why not say Monday. Mr. Sleigh—l have very important business to attend to on that day. Mr. Jardine—Then /et it be Saturday, at 3 o'clock. Mr. Bodkin—ln opening this case, I remarked that though the prisoner was only charged with the misde meanour, I was unable at that moment to say what the precise course I should adopt would be. I have now, sir, to inform you that, upon the completion of the evidence, I shall call upon you to commit the prisoner for trial, as an accessory before the faot to murder, and o n Saturday I shall state my reasons why I call upon )ou_ to take this course. Mr. Sleigh—l cannot but say that the announcement made by the counsel for the Treasury has taken me entirely by surprise. The Government have proceeded with this investigation up to the eleventh hour as a misdemeanour, and I cannot but say that that course has been adopted with a view of superseding the difficulty of keeping this man in custody on such a charge. It was very well known that at the end of this investigation, that I intended to make an appli cation for the admission of nsy client to bail, and that security of the highest respectability was ready to any amount, and I cannot help thinking there is some poli tical reason for the course that is now to be adopted, and I have no hesitation in saying that I regard it as a temporising :on the part cf the Government of this country to the foreign policy of another country. (Loud applause followed this declaration of the learned gentle man.) Mr. Jardine—liisirg from his chair, and with much apparent warmth, said it was the last time such a scene should take place in this court. On Saturday I wid make it a closed court. No one will be admitted. Mr. Bodkin—l don't think that the public are as much to blame as my learned friend is, for his absurd and popular allusions to topics that have nothing at all to do with the subject. The prisoner was then removed from the court, and the proceedings, which, towards the close, had become very exciting, were adjourned till three o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

The following is the substance of an o pi n i on de livered on this subject by Dr. Phillim.ore : " At the outset I would observethatthere are two facts the importance of the bearing of which upon the law cannot be over-estimated, and which are not controverted by the Government of the Two Sicilies : 1. That the Cagliari was captured not in Neapolitan waters, but upon the high seas. 2. That in the first instance it was nevertheless repro Rented by the Sicilian to the Sardinian Government that the Cagliari had been captured within the Nea politan waters, and that the truth upon this sub ject was not discovered by the Sardinian Govern ment until they saw the evidence of the captors. Upon this state of facts the question which imme diately arises is, under what circumstances is a State justified in seizing the ship of another State while passing on the common highway of all nations I The answer is one upon which all jurists are agreed, and as to which the practice and theory of States have hitherto been in perfect harmony, viz.—in time of peace, when the vessel is, or is reasonably suspected to be a pirate ; in time of war, when a ship is, or is reasonably suspected to be the property of a bel ligerent, orto be engaged in furthering the purposes of a belligerent. To deal first with the question of the capture of a piratical vessel in time of peace. As to the definition and characteristics of a pirate there is no material difference either in the opinion of jurists or in tke municipal law of States. In sub stance a piratical vessel is one sailing without the authority of any recognised State, not entitled to carry a flag or ship's papers, the universally ac knowledged evidence of such authority, and, more over, so sailing animo furandi et depredandi. The next inquiry is, does the Cagliari fall under this de finition, and if so, at what period ? No process of reasoning, no number of printed folios, no accumu lation of pointless erudition, can bring the Cagliari, at the time when she left Genoa, under the terms of this definition. She was a Sardinian vessel carrying a Sardinian flag, furnished with papers abundantly a - efficient to satisfy the requisitions of international, and also it should seem of Sardinian law. She was prosecuting her usual voyage upon her usual track ; she was, in fine, a well-known Sardinian postal and passenger steamer. There is not an iota of evidence to connect the proprietors of the vessel with any intention of navigating their vessel for an improper or unlawful purpose. The next inquiry is :—Though the Cagliari left Genoa an innocent merchant vessel, had a piratical charac ter, despitethe wishes of the owner, been impressed upon her during the course of her voyage and if so, under what circumstances ? The facts appear to be simply these :—A considerable number of ' armed conspirators, who had embarked under the guise of lawful passengers, did, after the vessel was at sea, by acts of violence and threats of murder, compel or terrify, it matters not which, the captain into abdicating his authority, possessed themselves of the entire control of the vessel, took her to Ponza, filled her with additional conspirators, and, changing her destination, made for Sapri. There the conspirators had disembarked, the captain re gained his command, and immediately left Sapri with the intention of proceeding to Naples, and of reporting what had happened to the Government there. While prosecuting this voyage, and at no great distance from his destination, he is fired at by a Sicilian ship of war, ordered to bring to, and immediately obeying without resistance is taken into Naples. Was, then, the Cagliari at the time of her capture piratically employed ?—I say unquestionably not. The assertion to the con trary rests upon a suspicion —unsupported, as far as 1 can find, either by oral or documentary evi dence—that she was returning to Ponza for the purpose of bringing fresh conspirators to Sapri. But against this vague suspicion are to be set the oath of the captain, the proved fact of the previous violence which he bad undergone, and from which he had just escaped, the consistency of his whole story, and the previous history and character of the commercial vessel which he commanded. Let it be admitted for the sake of argument (though the question is one which was recently much contro verted between Great Britain and the United States of North America) that under the circumstances the Sicilian ship of war had a right to visit (a right, be it observed, distinct from the right of search) upon the high seas theCagliari in time of peace, for the purpose, and for the purpose only, of ascertain ing her nationality. I say without hesitation that as soon as that nationality was ascertained to be bona fide Sardinian (as it must immediately on boarding have been ascertained), not merely from her flag and papers, but from the well-known his tory and character of the vessel herself, that the limited and doubtful authority of the Sicilian ship was certainly and clearly at an end. The rights of visit' and ' detention' are rights of war. Sar dinia and the Two Sicilies were not at war. If it was supposed that there was ground of complaint against the Cagliari, it was manifest upon every principle of international law that this vessel so arrested in time of peace upon the high seas should have been allowed to continue her course ; and the complaint should have been urged to the Sardinian Government, or before the courts by which she was alone justiciable—namely, the courts of the amicable and, be it also observed, closely neigh bouringPower, to the subjects of which the Cagliari was well known to appertain. Before I turn from this part of the subject I should notice an objection which has been taken with respect to the alleged in sufficiency of the papers on board the Cagliari. Upon this point a very great error as to the requisitions of international law is maintained in the Sicilian statement. It is no part of tee duty, or of the right of foreign States to inquire into the question whe ther the vessel of another State does or does not carry all the papers which the municipal law of her own country requires. If there be a sufficient con stat of the nationality of the vessel the foreign na tion has no right to inquire further. It does, how ever, so happen that in this case the Cagliari had on board the Patents, the having which was suffi cient to supply, the demands of her own municipal law. And here it is, perhaps, not inopportune to remark that during the recent war with Russia the Prize Courts of Great Britain constantly refused to condemn, even as prize, a vessel lawfully captured upon the high seas, upon the ground that she del not carry all the papers required by the municipal law of her own country. The proposition put forth by the Admiralty Board of the Two Sicilies, namely i Esso mancava dells carte necessarie di bordo, pel difetto dells qualificato pirata,' and which being interpreted with reference to the circumstances of the case, means, that because all the papers which her municipal law might require were not on board the Cagliari she was therefore a pirate, is a novel proposition and fraught with danger to all com mercial States. It is quite clear, therefore, that neither at the time whea the Cagliari left Genoa, nor at the time when she was seized, was she, in fact, in intention, or destination, piratically employed. Indeed, it is not difficult to perceive that the Sicilian Government are aware that this allega tion of piracy cannot be sustained, for upon a fore sight of its failure they advance another proposition, and one which I will venture to say is on the face of it plainly at variance with the first principles and acknowledged practice of international law. That proposition is, that if the Cagliari was not herself a pirate, nevertheless having been taken by pirates she had become their property and was seiz ible as such. lamat a loss to express my surprise at this argument, for it is one of the most trite and certain maxims of international j urisprudence, flowing from the very character and definition of piracy, that capture by pirates effects no legal change in the property, which continues to belong to the or i g i na l owner. ' Idque,' as Bynksrahoek observes, ' est Juris communis, quo aped omnes genies receptum est pira'as, domiiiium'3 non mutare.' It is hardly necessary to observe that it is not competent to the ' Sicilian Government, though the contrary seems to have been supposed by them by inserting a defini tion of piracy into their municipal code, to alterthe general law of nations upon this or any other point in which all States are concerted, however such al teration may affect the subjects of that Government. But if the Sicilian law did (which it does not) fur nish any authority on this occasion, it would be impossible to contend according to any recognised rules of construction that the Cagliari belonged to the class described in that law as bastimentt ap partenenti ai nernici del regno.' It remains to con sider the other ground upon which the seizure of the Cagliari w as j us tifi e d , an d w hi c h a l so occupies the other portion of the folio volume before referred to. That ground is, that the Cagliari was seiz e d as a lawful prize during the time of war and in exercise of the rights of self-defence accruing to the Crown of the Two Sicilies, or, as it is alleged, vim, vi repellend o . N ow here I must first ob serve that it appears to me an unprecedented attempt to justify the seizure of a foreign vessel upon two wholly separate and inconsistent grounds —at one time virtually alleging a state of peace and making an accusation of piracy ; at another, alleg ing a state of war, and putting forth a claim of prize. There is groat inconvenience as well as novelty in this mode of procedure, for under cover of this double defence < r attack (whichever it be called) arguments elating to one state of things are perpetually blended with a nother with which I they have no connection. But i n what war was the Crown of the Two Sicilies engaged ? Not in a war with any other State—but, it is said, in th a t kind of war with its own subjects which Grotius calls bellum mixtum. This is a very grave question, and of the deepest interest to all States. It must, I think, be admitted, as a matter of fact and law, that there is a kind of civil conflict between a Go vernment de jure and a Government de facto, which conflict assumes the proportions and must be placed in the category of a regular war, and which is fol- lowed with all the consequences of a war in its operation upon foreign States. Such a war arose out of the civil dissensions of England in the 17th century ; such a war arose bet ween Spain and the Netherlands, upon which the liberty Of the Dutch Republic was founded (an event, by the way, which the Sicilian Government in the papers before me asserts to have been the origin of all the subsequent calamities of Europe) ; such a war arose between England and her North American colonies towards the close of the last century ; such a war arose between Spain and her South American colonies during the present century ; such a war, too, was produced by the recent revolt of Sicily from the Neapolitan Government, which is more than once referred to in these papers. But it is manifest that there is, both in the reason of the thing and in usage—the two great sources of international jurisprudence —abroad line of demarcation between such instances as these, in which there have been pitched battles and a regular array of forces on both sides, and the isolated adventure of a handful of re bels, such as was attempted by the conspirators of Ponza (in the case before me) upon Sapri. To con found these t wodistinct state of things isto introduce the greatest confusion into all international relations, for if both are to be equally accompanied by that change of international relations incident to a regular war which affects neutrals as well as belli gerents, then it will be in the power of any small number of desperadoes, who overpower by violence the crew of a commercial vessel and attack their native country, though they are subdued by the civil police force, to place in jeopardy the commer cial relations and the commercial marine of every neutral State. Moreover, if this new doctrine be admitted, there will be room for the application of the doctrine of intervention, and alliances between such adventurers and foreign States will be placed on the same footing as the alliance of France with the revolted States or North America against Great Britain, or with the quadruple alliance which in tervened in the affairs of Spain in 1834. No accredited writer, no judicial precedent, no jurist, no practice of States, sanctions such an extension of the doctrine of bellum mixtum, which would be equally fatal to the duties of neutrals and the rights ot belligerents. It is indeed almost admitted in the folio volume before me, that this is a first ex periment upon the rights of nations. It is urged that the growth of Atheism and Democracy during the last 10 years renders a change in international law as to the doctrine of bellum mixtum absolutely necessary for the protection of the Sicilian Go vernment. And it is, in fact, upon this ground that the lawfulness of seizing the Cagliari as a prize of war is mainly placed. But it seems to have escaped the notice of the Neapolitan Government that it is not competent to a'siugle nation to make any, much less a grave, alteration in the law of all nations. Thus, Wicquefort says, that whenthe Swe dish Minister alleged the Swedish law against a de mand of the French Minister, ' Chanut (the French Minister) repondit que la ley de Swede see pouvoit pas abolir le droit des gees ; and the learned writer adds, ce qu'il fact Bien remarquer contre les nouveaux politiques.' And to the same effect is the opinion of a yet greater . master of that law, Lord Stowell, who, in the c .se where one State attempted an innovation in international practice to the injury of others, observed It is my duty not to admit that because one nationhas th ought proper to depart from the common usage of the world, and to meet the notice of mankind in a new arid unprecedented manner, that I am on that account under the neces sity of acknowledging the efficacy of such a novel institution, merely because general theory might give it a degree of countenance, independent of all practice from the earliest history of mankind ; the institution must conform to the text law, and like wise to the constant usage upon the matter ; and when I am told that before the present war no sentence of this kind has ever be* produced in the annals of mankind, and that it is produced by one nation only in this war, 1 require nothing more to satisfy me that it is the duty of this court to reject such a sentence as inadmissible.' It is said, however, that the procedure of the Sicilian Govern ment towards the Cagliari is not novel or unprece dented, inasmuch as the conduct (much praised in the Sicilian statement) of France in 1832, in the case of the Carlo Alberto, furnishes an exact precedent. Fortunately, the facts of this precedent are duly published and ascertainable by everybody. The Carlo Alberto, a Sardinian vessel, conveyed the Duchess de Berry and a number of her partisans to the coast near Marseilles, for the purpose of exciting a civil war in France ; she had false papers on board; she directly contravened the sanitary and the police laws applicable to the territorial waters where she was found. But what was the question determined by the Court of Cessation ? That the Carlo Alberto was seizable as a prize, or as a piratical vessel 1 Neither one nor the other ; that great tribunal, presided over by M. Dupin, decided and most rightly that it was competent to the French police to arrest persons on board this merchant vessel in their territory ; in other words, that the comity of nations did not protect a merchant vessel from the visit of the police, or the conspirators on board her from arrest, but the court expressly re fused to condemn the Carlo Alberto as prize. This simple statement of facts shows that this case of the Carlo Alberto—this solitary precedent—furnishes no authority at all for the capture of the Cagliari, but, on the contrary, is condemnatory of that cap ture. Something is E aid about the captain of the Cagliari submitting to and pleading before the Neapolitan tribunal, but it is obvious to remark that the claim of the Sardinian Government is a claim of public law founded on public policy, and wholly unaffected by any proceedings of an indivi dual subject under any circumstances, much more under such circumstances as these. The Cagliari could not have been lawfully seized as prize except in a time of open acknowledged war ; the right of prize and all the well-known incidents to it belong to a belligerent, and not to a pacific government. The Cagliari was as little liable to condemnation by the law of prize as she was by the law of piracy. There are other circumstances in which the Sic ban Government has but too little regar ded the rules of international law. I pass by the constitution ot the so-called Prize Court, the mode of examination, the unjust and indefensible prohibition which pre vented the captain of a foreign ship seized on the high seas from access for a considerable period to legal advice and aid ; but I cannot omit to notice that it is stated that this so-called prize of war has been the subject at one and the same time both of a penal and of a civil procedure —a procedure wholly un .warranted by the international law as to prize. And I read, to my further amazement, in the Neapolitan Minister's despatch, that the ship of war belonging to the Sicilian Crown has a right to proceed to the condemnation of a ship of another State as a private suitor, without the au thority of his government. The plain truth is that all these anomalous departures from the laws of nations are the necessary consequence of applying to a state of peace the stern rules which an inexorable necessity renders incident to a state of war, and which the law of nations strictly confines to tbat state. But it most nearly concerns all neutral and indepen dent States to take good heed that these extraordi nary rights of belligerents are not imported into their ordinary pacific relations. The case of the Cagliari is the first attempt of the kind, and I am not surprised that the British Minister at Turin should express in his despatch of sth Jan., 1858, the expectation of the British Government that Sar dinia will, by demanding the restitution of the Cag liari, her cargo, and her crew, resist this unjusti fiable infringement of the rights of nations ; and surely she may not without reason expect that iu this resistance she will receive the support and co operation of every independent, and especially of every maritime State. TERSE PILOTS DROWNED AT LIVERPOOL.--- On Tuesday,. during a severe gale, John Davies, a pilot, and Wm. Lancaster and Thomas Bell, apprentices, all belonging to No. 10, Liverpool pilot boat, were drowned off Point Lynas, while proceeding in a punt to board a ship. The punt was overturned almost as soon as it was lowered into the sea, and in spite of the efforts of the crews of the pilot boat and the ship, the poor felows were drowned. Davies, the pilot, leaves a uife and four children. His widow will receive 1501., and 101. per a n . num during her life, and 31. per annum for each of the children until they are 13 years of age. ~ADvaaTIBBMENT.}--It is over a pleasing duty of a journalist to introduce to his readers some new discovery calculated to benefit that vast portion of our fellow-creatures which has the strongest claims upon our sympathies.

LOLA MONTES IN THE WITNESS BOX. -A ROUGH AND TUMBLE FIGHT IN AN AXE RICAN LAW COURT. In the Supreme Court of the State of New York, a suit brought by Mr. Jobson, a literary man, upon a matter of no great public interest, has given occasion to what might on this side of the Atlantic be regarded as an extraordinary scene --resulting in a " rough and tumble," otherwise called an " up and down fight," be tween the plaintiff Jobson, and Mr. F. Seely, the de f endant'e counsel, in the presenee cf Mr. J. H. Whiting, the official arbitrator, to whom, by the decree of the court, the case was referred. There being apparently a good deal of "hard swearing" on one side or the other, the defendant's counsel thought it necessary to call Lola Montes as a witness to damage the plaintiff's general character. She stated that she had known Mr. Jobson in Landon, and described his conduct and reputation in the severest terms. In cross - examination'sbe was questioned unmercifully about her own past career, and persisted in declaring that her name was originally Rosanna Gilbert, and that she was born " in the beautiful town of Lime rick." She said she was 33 years old, and had had two husbands—the first a Captain James, who took her' to India ; that in London she learnt dancing for the stage from a Spaniard named Espa, and then passed some months in Spain. Being asked flatly, "How many intrigues have you had l" She replied— Wine ; I resided at the Court of Bavaria two years. Who did you know there ? Ever) b dy but yourself. I knew all about several mil lions of persons. I knew the King of Bavaria—Mr. Wit telshacher he was called—that was his family name. Were you the mi-tress of the King ? (Rising.) What I (Emphatically.) No, sir. Yoe are villain, sir I will take my oath en that book (the Bible), which I read every night, I had no intrigues with the old man. I knew the King, and moulded the mind of the King to the love of freedom. He took me before the whole court with hie wife, and presented me as his best friend. I was on the stage in Bavaria. It is easier to be a man's mistress than a dancer. I was in Bavaria in 1847 and 1848. In 1849 the R, volution occurred, and lib , ity and I fled. The King and Queen supported me while I was there. I was engaged in political business. YOU might call me prime minister if you please, or, a s the King said, I was the king. There wa s a man f straw there as prime minister. True, but he was only . a man of straw. The memoirs that have been written about roe are lies. I was called Countess of Landsfelt. There was much more of thin kind, and the court ad' jonmed. On the 18th ult, the proceedings were resumed, before a crowd of curious spectators specially admitted by ticket. Mr. Jobson, the defendant, came armed with a rattan cane, and sat beside his counsel, ,Mr. Schermer.. horn, who resumed his cross-examination of Lola Moe• tee, asking.her whether her real name was not Betsy Witt. on, whether she was not born at Montrose in 1815, and other such questions, which she contemptuously refused to answer, retaliating on the learned counsel by asking him whether he had not been brought before the police court for beating a lady. She was then asked whether she had not been chambermaid at the Star Inn, Montrose ? and replied, " You cannot make me out a chambermaid ; it i 3 not a dishonest thing either, if I was": I should have considered myself a far treater woman if I had been born a chambermaid than I sal to-day." Th 4 examination was abruptly brought to a close by the following scene between Mr. Seely, the defendant 'o counsel, and Mr. Jobson, the plaintlff ; Mr. Seely (to opposite counsel)—You will conies her examination to her knowledge or means of knowledge at the character of this fellow ; him here (pointing to Jobson). Mr. Dobson (excitedly)—Now, sir, if you call rag a fellow again, you vagabond shyster, I'll let you see. Mr. Seely—You will ; say another word and I'll drop yon down the three stories. Mr. Jobson—Yon are a vagabond, sir, and if yoti come across here, I'll chastise you. Here Mr. Seely jumped to his feet and attempted tO strike Jobson, but the large stove intervening, the blow was either weakened or fell short of its aim. Jobioit started up df his seat, at the same moment raised bia cane and struck Seely a slap over the head with it; Seely wrenched the weapon out of Jobson's hand, rushe d past the stove, caught hi s o pp onen t by th e head, Acta pummelled him severely for several seconds. Then the police and bystanders interfered and separated the com batants. The scene, had it not been somewhat tragica l ' would have been ludicrous in the extreme. The unfor tunate referee kept running backwards and forwards in a state of helpless terror. Madame Montag, who was separated from that portion of the room in which the conflict occurred by a large table, exhibited her custo mary coolness, but by the flashing of her eyes, and an involuntary movement towards Mr. Jobson's °aunt, whey it was suffering sore infliction at the bands of Mr; Seely, it was evident she would have had no objection whatever to furnish herself with a souvenir snatched from that un fortunate perieranium. When the parties bad been separated, Jobson was dragged backwards towards the He returned to the scene of the encounter imme diately, made threatening gestures at his late opponent, and incurred a second onslaught, which nearly upset the table, but ended in nothing more serious than the empty ing of an ink-bottle into the shirt bosom of one of the replrtere. Madame Montes now began to manifest great exoite• meat. "Good people I men I" she exclaimed, -" talcs case of Mr. Seely, He is a good and an honest man. Mr. 'Seely, don't touch that man ; he is not worth a gentleman's touching." " I know," cried Mr. Seely, " that be is not worth punishing—the vagabond," The panting belligerents bad again been separated, and thus the battle ended. The lady addressed the persons around her, and cried in a tone of bitterness, " Oh there is no law tbat ca n prevent a woman from being injured in her charaoter send in a false manner I" Nobody gave her the required information, probabli because law was not then the precise matter at issue. The referee (who had full powers to commit them all to prison, and is Waited by the New York press for not doing so), at last got" the court cleared, and protested he would have no more to do with the case. 11ii all 11. i St. 100 St. 100 12i 5 St. 100 z 5 all 25 t all St. 1100 10 5t..100 St. 100 50 all ,25 all [OO all 25 10 I all 9 20 all 9U 901 941 t 59i 9 32 S 103 2f 3 z d 127 6a 59} 981 91a i I 1081 7 61 96 65i 4 9212 93 2i 31 21 49 8 76i ' 4B 36 4 1 71 70i 108.1 9i 65 5 19. 81i 2113 fi 19A 111 321 1 61i 22i i i 17i 17/18i i 28 i 304 441 37i 1 - 18i 62 i 16/151 40 12s1 li 20 li t@ 75. 6i 74. 54 991 100 121 20,i 138 1006 100 11 li 2 1i 11 25i 4 Country blaricets.

EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.—The emigration from Ireland now average.; somewhat under 100,000 a year. In 1856 it was 91,000 ; in 1855 it was 92,000. The pro portion from the different provinces is maintained with singular exactness. In both years the number from Ulster was 31,000, and that from Munster 34,006. Of the numbers from Leinster, the counties which furnish the greatest proportion are Dublin and Kilkenny. From the county of Cork the emigration is very large, even in proportion to its size. In 1856 the numbers tkence ex ceeded those of the whole of Leinster s and were double as great as th e en ti re o f t h e em i grants from Connaught. BIRTHS.
