T E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING' FEBRUARY sil t IgNB. ranks whose names history has proclaimed, two eonsnira- tors, of whom one found a glorious death upon the battle field. Orsini, the prisoner, was then 12 years of age. He saw the Pontificial Government uproot the hearth- , stone of his home, and the dungeon and no , caffold were ' the fruits which unsuccessful valour had gathered in the combat. At the moment of his death Orsini invoked the name of Napoleon the Great, and you would fain believe that such an entry into life as that of my client, that such recollections, were not calculated to inflame his heart with impassioned sentiments? You have jest heard it said that Orsini has passed his life in conspiracy. But how could it be otherwise, if you will reflect on the teachings of that past whichbas been revealed to you? Must not an Italian feel his chain ? And you wish that the grand idea of Italian unity, put into practice by him who understood that its establishment demanded the overthrow of the tem poral power of the Pope— a power which was actually over ' thrown—you wish that such a remembrance should have perished, and left no trace behind. Bnt it has been said Orsini took an oath, an oath whic h he has never v iolated. In 1846 Tuscany drove him into exile—Tuscany, that is to say, Austria. At length arriv ed '4g. It is not my business to-day to explain the causes of its birth ; but we cannot efface from our memories a time when such an act was per mitted. When M. de Lamartine made public rora cf hie famous a au in manifesto, wLicli Italy b_ailal as the dependence, when the news arrived at Paris of the re treat of the Austrians across the Ta..liamento, France, if I recollect aright, was the first and the loudest to applaud Orsini, still the same, has not changed his sentiments. 'Universal suffrage gave him a place in the Constituent Assembly con voked at Rome. Y o u know the history of th a t Assembly. Europe trampled u it under f iot, and the cannon of France crushed it. This man must then yield to his weakness. This son of Captain Orsini must quit his country once more. He goes to Vienna under the name of Herman, still pursued, as he avows, by the same demon which pursued him thus far. Seized, bound, led to the citadel of Mantua, which more resembles a tomb than a prison, his spirit remains unbroken. He forces the secret judges to render homage to the serenity of his soul, to the purity of his intentions. The instruments of ,leath were ready, but the devotedness of a woman causes a letter to reach him, in which is explained to him a plan of escape. Eight bars of iron are cut through, and, after a long suspension over the abyss, the fragile support gives, at a height of 40 metres. and he falls into the abyss. He is found by shepherds, who conceal him for 4s hours in the reeds of a frozen lake. He then goes to England, and tries to excite the sympathy of a powerful and generous nation in favour of his unfortunate country. When his legal and legitimate efforts appear useless his spirit, which again leads him astray, urges him to the commission of a crime, which at this moment he would wish to efface at the cost of his blood. The independence of Italy and he himself are sacrificed even to the very name he bears, and which he has sullied by assassination. Doubtless such persistence is deserving of blame. A man must know bow to bow to force, and before the Cabinet of Kings who tell you ' Your Government displeases me. I destroy it.' But all that the work of force is destined to encounter on its way is a resistance which will rather allow itself to be crushed than to submit to reason. In our own history we have proofs of the fact. In 1815 Napoleon was overthrown. A regular Government succeeded a despotism. Well then, was not that Government, which was accused of having been imposed by the foreign bayonets, inces santly manaced by conspiracies, of which our people were pleased to consider themselves, I will not say as martyrs — I will not exaggerate—but as victims. With respect to the victims of the attempt on the 14th, M. Jules Favre said : " Yes, that is a crime, a crime of which Orsini will be accountable before God, much more than before the law of men, because the law before it strikes him has to inquire as to his intentions. The Procureur-General has not insisted excessively on this count. He has laid much more stress on what he calls the variations of his language. I will try to remove that reproach. It does not much matter to us that he may have contradicted himself, or that he shows vacillation of mind of which the solitude of his prison is the cause. It is not by such circumstances that we must judge an accused man." M. Jules Favre examines this part of the ques ticu at some length. He said : "Orsini entered on this dangerous path on which fana ticism urged him, bowed before the man he had intended to strike, and turning towards the nephew of the great Emperor, said to him ' Prince you boast of having issued from the ranks of the people. Well, then, take courage, and pxtrnd your hand to the people who are the brothers of the Fi ench people. Do not allow Italy to be trampled under foot by the children of the north. The source of your own power is a revolutionary source ; bear it always in mind, and you shall be invulnerable ' I have now done, and my last words will be, like those of the Procureur-Ge neral, a prayer. You will do your duty without passion and without weakness, and God, who judges the great of the earth—God, who measures all human actions, and weighs the lives of men in the balance of which our intelligence and our hearts cannot have any adequate notion—God who views the sufferings of this man—his anguish, and the thoughts which have ever agitated his spirit—the ardent passions which have filled his heart—and will, perhaps, render to this intelligent and noble soul a pardon which, in their weakness, mea will not be able to extend to him." M. Jules Favre then re,umed his seat. The im pression produced by these last words was so great that several minutes elapsed before the Court was collected enough to call on M. Nogent St. Laurens, Pierri's counsel. CONVICTION AND SENTENCE OF THE _________ 5 ,„,,,, adoeil 'Wandered from the questions. He denied everything, and said that he only came to Paris to see his son. The shell found upon him had, he said, been given him by Orsini to take care of, he not knowing what it was. He had a 'rendezvous with Orsini on January 14, at a Cafe Chantant, and it was on his way there that, attracted by a crowd near the opera, he went quite by accident into the Rue Lepelletier, where a policeman arrested him before the explosion. M. Jules Favre, who defended Orsini, rose and addressed the jury something to this effect : " I would wish to forget for a moment the pain ful feeling which oppresses me, and express my admiration of the eloquent display which we have just witnessed. The learned advocate opposite (A. Chaix d'Est Ange) has long adorned our benches; his place has remained unfilled, and he himself is re4retted by us all. His career sheds bril liancy on the solemn functions with which he is now in vested, and the prestige of his eloquence imparts to them a formidable force. If a danger was to be found in finding oneself opposed to him, it is that very sentiment which his concluding words have invoked. We had no need of that appeal to pity which we have just heard. We are all seized with terror and dismay on thinking of the bloody tragedy which brings us to this spot. Saying thus much, I may add that Ido not share all the opinions of the lirocureur-General on the acts, the principles, and the men concerning whom he has spoken. My own opinions, my principles are known to the Procurenr. He knows also that crimes, violence, abuse of force, have never been, are not, and never will be their symbol. No !I do not, I can not believe that mere force can establish rights. Accoriing to my views it is through their habits and usages that states become degenerated ; and, if a nation was unfortunate enough to fall within the grasp of a despot, they would, in deed, be badly inspired who should seek to get ri l of him by the steel. History teaches us that Governments perish by the excess of their principle. God, who counts the hours of the power of this world, reserves for that power which his Providence has condemned catastrophes much more sudden, mach more striking, than by all the criminal ma chinations that were ever planned by conspirators. This is my firm belief. Orsini asked me to defend him. I did not reject his prayer ; but at the same time I well understood the weight of the burden imposed on me—nay, more, my inability. I expresses to him all the horror which his crime impressed me with, whilst I felt touched by his misfortune, and whey speaking of his country I felt comp assion at his " are • I told him that for a cause like his—the inde pendent', of his c ountry—l would, him, . like shed the last dr°l3 of my object he had blood . : but I added that in the pursuit of that he must for the lawa grievously erred ; that that error of mind expiate, and that his life would be the expiation a close, as he had violated ; that his life was drawing to of respect for punishment doe to the e;re't rrinci pl. disre garded.

Some of the continental papers, we (Calcutta Englishman, Jan. 23) observe, have falsely accused our soldiers of cruell on the takir.g of Delhi ; a city is Lever taken by assault without some innocent vi.dims. We need not assure our English readers that the accusations of foreign journalists are un founded ; but, for the benefit of those gentlemen, we subjoin the following indignant denial by an officer who served throughout the siege, and was present at the assault : " I was told last e.voii.n.g that the government up to the Commissioner of Delhi, to know the pirticul irs and number of the outrages' committed by the troops during the storm of the city, and afterwards. As there is a leisurely gran deur about these gentlemen in black' who follow our armies in quest of good appointments after the fighting is over, which prevents their answering with that promptness and succinctness that such a question demands, I lose no time in sending you, for the world's perusal, the reply to such a ques tion. You know that I would not write to you an untruth, or even anything of which I was not perfectly certain —no, not even to defend and save the reputation of this glorious, though now despised, army. The answer is, in reply o English questions, and French, or any other calumnies—that this army has never, on any single occasion, sullied is arms and its aehievem:nts by the slightest outrage, cruelty, or violence committed on any woman, or child, or peaceful and defenceless citizen. And, further, we are not sepoys, or cowardly murderers of any other description, as is proved by what we have done ; for our country knows full well that men, capable of what is insinuated Fgaiust us by the above question, never could have upheld their empire, their glory, and their well-acquired honour, as we have done. No, no ; thank God, we have not forfeited or laid one single stain upon old England's puro and noble character through ' out this long and terrible struggle ; and I repeat it emphatically that whoever :hall say that this army has committed anything cruel or atrocious, states that which is not fact, but foul and distionoui able slander. The rudest soldier in this army is incapable of slaying or harming a woman, a cnild, or au unarmed and peaceful citizen ; and I can swear upon my honour and my sword that no such thing has been done. This is my answer ; let him who can, gainsay its truth, and disprove its declaration. Mutineers and rebels, and mur derers and violators of English children and wo men, we did slay, thank God, without mercy or hesitation, but women, or children or peaceful citizens—no, no, it is untrue, foully and shamefully untrue. It may suit the views of those who wrong this army, to calumniate it ; and to endeavour to prove, at the sacrifice of their country's honour, that we are unworthy of laudation and reward, but this shall not be done, so long as one man remains amonest lls who knows the truth, and can give it to the world. 1. Wave dwoit father I.nig upon Luis sub ject, but whilst endeavouring to be calm, I was de sirous that our countrymen in England, and Eng • land's friends and enemies all over the world, should know the truth fully, and without evasion or quibble. )re STATE OF TRADE.

Lord REDISDALE, as deputy speaker, occupied the woolsack. The house presented rather a singular appearance, from the change of places occasioned by the members and s upporters of the late Ministry taking their seats on the Opposition side of the house. The seat formerly occupied by the Earl of Derby was this evening filled by Earl Granville, next to his lordship sat Lord Cranworth and the other peers who held office in the late ministry. The Mini-Aerial side was rather thinly attended ; the front or Government bench was occupied by the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Lonsdale, Lord Col ville, and the Duke of Montt .se. THE CA.GLIA.RI. Lord LY.N . DHl7RSTpresented a petition on behalf of the two persons arrested on board the Cagliari steamer. It complained of the ill-tre tment to which they hid been subjected, by which the health of both had heen very grqatly imnaired. THE CASE OF AZZOPARDI. Lord LYNDEIiTIiST said he wished to explain a state. meat he had made respecting Azzopardi, who on Monday last he had stated wax hanged. He bad since received a letter which stated that the sentence of death had been commuted to transportation, and that he had been sent to Norfolk I.land in 1E43. CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH prevented a petition rrora East Suffolk, prAyiug that the bible might he iotrc duced into the Government rcboole in India, an:l that there be no further connection with the Hindooe in the government of India. LAW OF LIBEL BILL. Lord CAMPBELL said the second reading of this bill stood for Monday next, but in consequence of cer tain circumstances he thought it would be better that the second reading should be postponed until a future day. Lord LYNDE{URSr asked the noble lord whether the provisions of the bill might not be made more extensive. Lord CAMPBELL said he had gone as far as he thought he could do with safety, but if his noble friend would take the bill on his hands he should feel great pleasure in committing it, to his keeping. Lord STANHOPE said the bill a■ it stood had the advantage of being the ►ecommendation of a select com mittee. If th• bill was made more extensive in its effects, a fresh measure would have to be introduced which would not have that reoommendation. After a short conversatien the second reading of the bill was postponed. THE NEW MINISTRY. The 'Marquis of SALISBURY said his noble friend at the head of the Government bad thought it would he more respectful to the house if he abstained from making the usual ministerial statement until Monday next, and he accordingly moved the wijournment of the house until that day. Ea 1 GRA.NVILLE said that when his noble friend the Earl of Aberdeen asked for a similar adjournment, he noble earl, not now in the house (Lord Derby) said he thought that 24 hours, or three da)e at the utmost, was all that was required to complete his arrangements. He was not going to follow that course, because it was of great public importance tbat a neyv Government should have some opportunity of inspecting official do cuments in the public offices, of considering 'heir policy, sad also the manner in which they intended to bring that policy before the public at large. The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships adjourned until Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YEsTEttpIY.) The ,PBAILEtt took the chair at 4 o'clock. The attendance of members was very numerous. The house presented a changed appearance, and from the Opposition haein4 taken their places on the Ministerial ~ide of the house, it was with muck difficulty the Govern ment members could be recognised. Sir J. Graham, Mr. S. Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, Mr Drunsnaond, Sir De Lacy Evans, and Sir C. Napier 'at in their usual places en the Ainisterial side of the house, below the gangway. Mr. Spooner took a seat immediately behind the Ministerial oencb. Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Fitzgerald occupied eats on the present Ministerial bench, and appeared highly delighted with their change of quarters. Mr. Hayter, Mr. Lowe, Mr. J. Fitz4ersld, Mr. Wilson, Sir B. Hall, and some other members of the late Govern. inent occupied seats on the front Opposition benches. Mr. Roebuck, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. J. W. Fex, Mr. Cardwell, Sir F. Baring, Mr. J. Bright, and Mr. Gibson occupied corresponding seats on the Opposition •ide of the house to those they did on the Ministerial ide before the resignation of Ministers. None of the members of the old or new Ministry were present. Many of the members on entering the house were unable to recognise the change, and could with diffi culty realise their friends. The late Attorney-General, on entering the house, walked up to the Ministerial benches, where he appeared greatly surprised to find Ivlr. Whiteside sitting at his ease, The hon. and learned gentlemen shook hands, and it was only on the late attorney-General calling to his assistance his eye-glass tuat he discovered his mistake, and walked across to the Opposition side of the house amidst roars of laughter in which many of his late colleagues heartily joined. The attendance of members on the Opposition side of the (house was far more numerous than those on the Minis serial side. Lard Palmerston arrired at 20 minuce.i past 4 o'clock, amidst loud cheers. He entered the nouse from behind the Speaker's chair. He took his seat in the front opposition bench, immediately opposite his usual seat on the ministerial side of the house. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Several private bills were read a second time. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Sir W. JOLLIYPE, the following new writs were ordered ;—For Buckinghamshire, in ~ he room of Mr. Disraeli, who has accepted the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer ; for Kings Lynn, in the room of Lord Stanley ; for the - University of Cambridge, in the room of Mr. Walpole---who have been appointed Secretaries of State; for Droitwich, the room of Sir J. Pakington, who has accepted the office of Finn Lsrd of the Admiralty ; tor Hunting-10n, in the room of General Peel, app doted Secretary f. , r ' War ; for the county of Oxford, in the room of Mr. Henley, appointed President of the Board of Trade ; for the North Division of the county of Wilts, in the room of Mr. Sotheron R-tcourt, appointed Pre of the Poor-law Board ; for the Northern Division of Stafford, in the room of Mr. Adderley, ap pointed Vice-President of the Committee of Education ; fa- Stamford, in the room of Sir F.

Hamilton, appointed Treasurer of Her Majesty's Household ; in the room of Col. For re.ter, appoiot,d Comptroller of Her Majestye' House hold. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Sir W. JOLLIFFE in moving the adjournment of he House on its rising till Monday, sa id h e did so with a view to inform the House the course it was proposed to be pursued by her Majesty's Ministers. It was the desire of the noble earl at the head of her Majesty's Government, that the house should assemble again on Monday for the iespatch (.f business, and at the same time move such writs as might be necessary for those of that had not yet bee❑ filled up It would then be his duty to ask the house to adjourn from Monday till Friday week, the 12th 11arch, the earliest period they could naturally hope her Maj-'s , y's Ministers would be again in their places to conduct the business of the house. (Hoar.) THE LATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND THE LAW LORDS. Upon the queetion being put, Sir R. BETHELL rose and said,—Sir, I wish to tre•i pass upon the time and patience of the house ler a short period, while I endeavour to bring before it some con- siderations which appear to me to affect in r, material degree the regularity and the decency of proceedings in Parliament, even if they do not in some measure affect the privileges of members of this hoive. If there be in any nation two deliberative aseecublies, it seems consis tent with propriety and also with the obligations of decency that it a speech be delivered by a member of oae of those deliberative bodies in considering a measure brought before it, that it should not be competent for any member of the other assembly, before the measure is submitted to them, to take that particular speech and to make it the subject of criticism, and to accompeny that criticism by personal and offensive observations. (Hear.) It is impossible to conceive anything that would ore tend to interrupt the order which should prevail ii' eliberative assemblies or which could more interfere with regularity and propriety of conduct on the part of members than such a coarse of proceeding. (Rear.) But, sir, one might condone this—one might pass it over without remark, if it were the accidental exuberance of zeal or enthusiasts on the part of some young member of the house—(hear, and a laugh)—one might even for give it if the offender bad been accidentally betrayed upon one occasion only into such forgetfulness; buf, if it turns out to be a practice repeatedly pursued—(hear, bear) —frequently remonstrated against in private, although farburne to be noticed in public ; if it turns out to be a practice fellowed by grave and reverend and aged men—(a laugh)—entitled to be regarded as leaders in the assembly of which they era members, and who may fairly be expected to afford the younger member examples of order, of regularity, and decency—(a laugh) —more especially when those grave and eininen , Wu proceedin gs personages happen to be investel with the highest political givea g :t w th iu°l : . functio?s,then it becomes unquestionably a most unfortu nateimportant measure ca thing, B,o, erabliee. Ia the e tra o n n a.' which no one can contemplate wit' out the considered in this tlardeepest re r t d • indulgence of e the pain. (Hear, bear.) I must beg the which ie house while I call its att,.ntion to cer tadl h r oo e tw a i oo d nfil y I. Ar fi no /If August urtuehsrte two i ol a n t .: theother ar elgi deliberative history eear ta tai nv de body to be Lower Rouse, It was brought forward at a time when it was utterly impossible to give to that measure the calm, patient, and lengthened in quiry which it required. It had been conceived, as it appeared by certain members of that assembly with great deliberation, but it wasexpressed and accompanied by more than usual infelicity. That being so, in mea sured and temperate language, without any allusion to the authors of the measure in the other assembly, this house, without a division unanimously, and apparently even with the assent of its propounders, came to the determination not to entertain it. That decision haring been come to a scene took place in the other deliberative body in which a grave and 1 arned and most eminent per-on, disappointed apparently at tee measure not hav ing been received here, addressed that house in language which I find thus reported in history. (Laughter.) It is by examples of the past that we are to correct our con duct for the future. Lord St. Leonardss, after alluding to a bill which he had prepared and introduced to protect honest trustees, in reference to what had passed in another place, is represented to have said : " On that occasion, however, the learned organ of the Government in the House of Com mons stated that the forme measure was a vv i a p s o s s o €, inaccuwhichrate a t e a n( y l' s ibUtc7u: s n d sn i ne e eene t e ed, that it would re quire at least three days to make it right. That learned person then added—with the confidence which belonged to him—(a laugh)—and by which he was led to imagine that he could make that clear which was obscure, substitutelight for darkness, and make th at adequate which was inade quate, that he himself would undertake to introduce a suit able meosnre on the subject in the next session of Parlia ment. He certainly was astonished to learn that that learned person had spoken in those terms of a measure which had been prepared with such great care and delib :- ration, and which had passel through their lordships' house without may great objection." I .lo not know whether these terms are to be deemed complimentary or the opposite. (A. laugh.) I rather believe that they were not used with the intention of conveying any praise, but rather of personally holding up a member of the other dwiberative body, who bad performed what he conceived to be his di t ty in this house, to ridicule aud pu blic observat i o n on the ground of that speech. No, the individual e llud e e t o unques tionably felt e good deal of pity for the irritable feelii g this prompted these observations —(a laugh) —and although he might have brought the matter before the body to which he belonged, yet from consieeratioas of the past he abstained, and contented himself with ad dressing a remonstrance to the members eho heard this speech, and with expressi n g an earnest desire that pro ceedings ionfgsriusputeuhreabwsettheeee' which were likely to lead to feel ings the two bodies, might not be for the farms persevered in. (Hear.) Now, sir, on another occasion a grave que-tion arose before that deliberative assembly touching the most important institu , ion in a country—viz., the great supreme Court of Appeal. .The person who has now the honour of atieressieg this great essernely was called upon by many members of this house to declare the opinion which he had formed from hie e xperience of the way in which that great court bad discharged the functions committed to it by the consti tution and what might be required, if need were, t render it more eatisfactory in the psrfornsance of those functions. A great debate ensued in which u:any mem bers took part, and which ended with an expression of the careful!) , considered opinion of the body then deli berating. These proceedings, being communicated to the public iu toe or iinary way, attracted the attention of the members of atenher assembly. These grave and learned persons to whom I have referred, and to w heal that body should look up as guides in matters of order, met together to express an opinion upon what had been stated in another council of the nation. This is the language chichi history records to have been used on that occasion by the very grave and learned person who fills the highest judicial seat in the courts of law in this country : " Lord Campbell had witnessed he must say with indig nation, the attack th a t h a d b een made on their lordships' judicial jurisdiction by her Majesty's Solicitor-General. It was a most violent attack, having a direct tendency to bring their jurisdiction ioto disrepute,and it was astonishing that it should come from an officer of her Majesty's Government. It wet an attack upon the constituted authorities of the country and upon a public functionary— for he (Lord Campbell) must say that it appeared to him to be au at tack on his noble and learned friend on the woolsack who presided over their lordships' proceedings when sitting as a court of appeal. It seemed to him, if the report were a just representation of what fell from the Solicitor-General, that he thought that justice would never be satisfactorily , administered in their lordships' house until he (the Solici tor-General) was presiding uu the woolsack." (A. laugh.) Now, sir, if I were speaking of the language used by John Thomas to James Styles out of doors, I should pass it by as that species of personality which ineicated great want of good breeding and good man ners. (Laughter.) But if this history rays true, and if these words did proceed from one who was bound to maintain all order, all gravity, and all decency, why, undoubtedly, it is a thing to be spoken of with ttie greatest pain and regret. So far as the iesetution is noncern.d to which I have referred—these remarks having been made when the individual had no power to bring them before the other body, which had adjourned —that individual was content with the ample revenge which ho afterwards had, without any act of his, by these same learned persons appointing a committee to consider that very institution of which they had con stituted themselves the champions in these singularly vulgar terms—(a laugh)—and this committee, by the eviclencA they took and their own report, said much wore and more severe things of the institution in qat•stion than they had attributed to the unfortunate Solicitor-General. (A. laugh.) T crown the matter, the individual who used this language came to this very S and, with ass ii,cin*istency which those who know hie) better than I ' , eve the honour to do tell me is net an unusual thing—(a laugh)—deplored the a - ate of this very institution, and begged the assistance of the person to whom he applied in devising means of improvement. (Hear.) So much with regard to the past. With regard to a lat-r occurrence there is also recorded in history a passage which I wish humbly to submit is de-ervieg of grave coleideration. It is the pro vince of the judges of the land to deceare the law, but to declare the law in their courts, after argument., upon a judicial occasioe, and atter grave deliberation. It is most deeply to be deplored if there should happen to be in any country a judge:of the greatest eminence and autho rity, who must know well that, in a particular juncture of circumstances, he might be called upon to sit in judg ment upon a par icular case, and who yet, with reference to that case, before it came before him, gratuitously arid unnecessarily rushed into public, and declared that the law which governed the CM teat G was so and so, and at all who held a diffsrent opinion committed cacti grievous errors that is ga ve burn the most acute pain to observe the blunders into which they had fallen. (Hear, and a laugh.) Well, sir, if there is a man who should have done such a thing, and if such a man should be clothed with tee ermine of the highest station, I think this house would be of opinion with me that he would disqualify himself from rittnag as a judge to hear and determine that question, if the case on which he had thus given an opinion and decision should arise, (Cheers.) There is nothing liters , to be deplored in the judges of the land tnan tbst they should be " hacontieent of tongue " I quite agree that when the Occasion demands the expres sion of opinion it oueht to be given with firmness, and I would not desire to check it in any manner. But I hum bly trust this ho use will a g ree wi th me in depleting the , acid w h en i n d ivi du a ls authority' rise should be f o u n d in this by opi n ion-, wh ch r e nder ee t ml h a'ais e tne i ti n ne i ewd i r i hctei to committ p h e i t t e th n Pa t h° t t o uhle d im isC e h l a v r d g . e higher, judicial func tions. ( dear, bear.) I have another object in trespassing upon the house. It is very inferior to that to which I nave alluded, and yet to me it is extremely dear and extremely imp rtant, and I trust the hou s e will allow me to speak upon it with g reat sincerity and without Ease s tation. (Hear, he ar.) If ther e is anything that I ha ve t h h e ll fosse of Commons to g i ve an o pinion I effiee, it is that wh eu I h ave b ee n called felt due to the h ouse durin g the time that I have had the h u o p n on our b t y o should give it faitafully, conschintieusly, accerding to the best cf my knowledge, and w.th the sincere belief that it Is correct and well grounded. Therefore, when I am charged with having made to the House of Corsi mons a statement so err mesons that no m an o f co mmon understanding coul d have ma de it , it id most important t to h, m house "th.tthel should be borne with while I bring before accusations and the answers. (Hear, hear.) night last during the discussion which took On place Eri on is ibe bill then before the house, 1 was called up n, in a very earnest manner, by my right hon. friend the member for the University of Oxford to express my opinion on that measure. I ventured to give that opinion to the house as clearly and as accurately as I could. I mist confess that I had a certain 'terror of endeaveuring using words of d•ubt or ambiguity. t l o t guard isa ye ry myself common b y practice with lawyers to avoid giv ing an opinion up on any douhttul esteuien. Theysay that the decision may be on this side or on that, and, in poin, Now, on all occasions upon which I have been called of by fact, tbe H t i h ni e :P give no opinion whatever. ( Lau g hter.) e of C e mosons to examine a subj ect wit, ' the view of s t a ti ng my op i n ion, 1 have been denseus whether it i.e a m erit or drallatli ou f o rm eiiu lest opinion I could, and to express it in the clearest and simplest language. The tenor of my argument on last Friday nights as has. members will bear me out, was tee,: I was desirous of showing that an alien stood up nn a dif ferent footing freak that of a British-born !subject with reference to particular eases. I AM seine sure that no hon. gentleman who did me the favour of attending to what I said for a single moment supposed that I ever affirmed the state of the law to be this—that au alien coming to this country could rob, or murder, or commit any meecies of violence without thriug amenable to law. (Hear, hear.) But will the house believe m e when I sa y that that particular prepositien having bee n exttac ed from the rest of nay speech was put forte. in another place as representing my arguments upon Friday last. New, sir, I happened to be in ts particular room in whist' the following took place. A grave aud learned judge ruse and said that he was desirous of putting a question to a noble and learned lord. The person interrogated was evidently prepared fur the question—(ti laugh)—for he role up aid took out of his pocket a newspaper. He read from that newspaper certain words, which be said constituted the argument of the Attorney-Gellera) else where. (A. laugh.) He then proceeded to denounce that particular passage, and to represent it as tieing totally at variance with the law of this country. No:v, the house will permit me to quote an historical record cf the words I actually u ttered — The hoe. and learned gentleman wa s about to quote from the Ti mes ' re p o rt. of his speech on Frida y ni g ht l ast , *ben he w as i nterr upted by Mr. F. SCOTT, wile said—l rise to order, Mr_ Speaker. (Loud cries of " Oh, oh ?") I have always un derstood it to be the rule in this house that there should be no reference to a matter which has occurred in a pre views debate in the same session. (Cries of " No, no.") I am perfectly aware that the house may be much more desirous of hearing the statement of the hon. and leaned ger:lleumu than anything that I can offer—(loud cheers) —but there is one observation which I will make—end I hope that not only thie, but every future House of Cemmons will concur in it—namely, that there is nothing of greaser importance than to adhere to the standing orders.. (Cheers.) It is with the view of baying those standing orders enforced that I take the liberty of now rising to order. It the house wish that a matter which personally affects the hon. and learned gentleman should he explained, let them give him a specific indulgence to that extent—(cheers) —bet let not our standing orders be infringed by any one, and least of all by the course proposed by the hon. and learned gentleman. (Cheers, cries of " Chair !" and " Sit down I") The SPEAKER—In answer to the appeal made to me I must give my opinion that up to this period the address of the horn and learned member has not trans. greased the rules or standing orders of the house. (Hear.) He is now taking an opportunity of making a personal explanation, and the house always permits hon. mem. hers to make such explanations. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. BETHELL—I am desirous of stating as briefly as 1 can what was really the argument maintained by me on the occasion in question. The particular expressions then used by me were to this effect — "The state of the English law I believe to be tbie— that foreigners are able to do in this country that which your own subjects are unable to do in this country, and that which would be a crime in natural born British subjects is a, matter of impunity in foreigners."— Times report, Feb.lo. An illustration of that was subsequently given by me in the following words : " I believe that the state of the law may be thus accu rately represented—supposing two or more foreigners in ibis country conepire together to commit a crime abroad, although the thing which they conspire to do is a trine, yet, if it be committed abroad it would not be punishable by the law of this country; neither is the conspiracy pun ishable." —Times report, Feb. 20. Now, no one who read what I then uttered would think of disc innecting these two sentences. No one with ordinary candour or ordinary intelligence would read the first sentence as containing the proposition, that an alien may come into this coon. ry and here commit with impunity acts for which a British-horn subject would be punishable. But the two propositions show plainly that an alien may come to this countryand plot with impunity the commi ' sion of an act abroad which a natural born British subject could not do. Iu that respeci, therefore, an alien, although standing in the po-ition of owing allegiance to your law, is by that law exempted freest consequences to which a natural born British sul.jeet wouli be liable. Now, what does the house suppose that I was elsewhere represented to have said on the occasion ? The pas,age that was read elsewhere was that first qu :tail by me. A grave and learned speaker said, I tied in the pni.lic j mynahs the following words attributed to the Att , rney-Csoner , l : "The state of the English law I believe to be this—that foreigners are able to do in this country that which your own subjects are unable to do ; and that which would be a crime in natural born British subjects is a matter of im punity in foreigners." The grave and learned speaker eines on to say : " That is not the law of England, and it is of the last importance it should be known to the country that th t is not the law of England. There is no distinction whatever between natural born British subjects and aliens with re gard to acts committed within the realm of England." — Times report, Feb. 20. Non. tee titer learned persons whom he was addrersing had never read tee speech from which that extract wee taken. It ea- represented to them that I hell the doc trine that an alien might with impunity commit any crime in Vie country. They w ere as onished at such a prop , sition ; whereas it is perfectly clear if the whole, or even another passage Lad been read, the pro position which I maintained was only then that anterior to the 9th of George IV., according to the common law of the laud, a British subject, committing a murder abroad was not amenable to English law, that that state of things was altered by the statute, but that it was so worded within its provisions. The result, therefore, was plain, that an alien not being comprehended within the statute is not in the same position as a natural born Bri tish subject., and I argued that we ought to amend the law in that respect. There has been, therefore, I mutt say in that particular, one of the most extensive nipap prehensiens and (ot course unintenti .nai) misrepresenta tions teat it is impossible fir any one to conceive. T[.o whole of the address of the grave and learned speaker dwells simply upon the passage which be read, as coca. prehendieg the whole of the argument which I addressed to this house. In the rest of his address the speaker proceeded to represeet that the doctrine of conspiracy in this country laid down and recognised in such a manner by all the writers on the law that it would comprehend the act of aliens conspiring in this country to commit a murder abroad, and, accordingly he put it thus—that the law of conspiracy in this country com prehends all persons combining to do anything that is malum in, se. Now, the way in which I stated the leer on that subject was this—l stated to the house that unquestionably there were some general and twee defi nitions of this elastic principle of our law as to cells!) , racy, but that they had never been followed out by any decision and were not illustrated by any precedent or decided ease ; and, therefore, the words that I used were that it was tiesafe to rely upon such definitions of that principle, and that one of the greatest judges in this country had said that it ought not to be carried any further than it had been carried. I have had assistance tendered to me from every quarter on this question. It, presentations have been made to me by sevt sal of my learned trien&—by men most competent to speak on the subject—that they have searched every book and every denesion relating to the law of conspiracy with a view of discovering therein the doctrine lanl down by the noble and learned speaker, at.d fevers 't been ahleto do so. The I • 11 ,- n and learned gentleman, who was imperfectly heard at the conclusion of his speech, went on to eibt , er ve, as we understood, that the next proceeding of those grave and learned men in another place was to adve , t to a sentence pronounced by the assembled judges of Eriglaud in the case of an unfortunate man who was convicted and hanged, and it was pointed out that that sentence might be erroneous, lie thought it uutirtunate that a learned jndge should commit himself to a state ment which ho mightfind most inconvenient when called on to act in a j omelet pesition. He had felt it big duty to bring this wetter before the house, teed he believed that ersat iiiconvsmience and an enormous amount of disoraer much to be deplored would result if this prac tice of members in one assembly criticising individuals in another were to be continued. In the oneervatioes he had made his only desire was to set himself right with the holes; and he tru aed the house would consider uo ctiamileeiolflo r a t m h o w r s n e b a ,, t r ta o e f a t s h a w t h h t c o h u e n: e a r n e d m . a h t i l e e h tram e p tn ov i a irri ye e re t ( e i in would uequeetionahly have au unfortunate effect on the deliberations of both assemblies. He thanked the house for its kind and patient attention, and ho trusted he should never again have occasion to make such a statement. (Cheers.) Hr. S WARREN said the opinion of the bon. and learned gentle•nan had bec ime public property having been made offic!alle, and he (11r. S. Warren) and others had a rgnt to criticise it, since it bad taken almost every one who had heard or read it by surprise. An HON. lIMIDER suggested it was not competent for the leoue to discuss a proposition of law in reference to exereeee i by one of its members.. The SPEAKER ruled the hon. and learned gentleman was in order. Mr. S. WARREN said he was alarmed at the opinion the hon. and learned member for Aylesbury had ex pressed, and was about to read an extract from the hon. and learned gentleman's speech, which, however, was ruled out of order, and the hon. and learned gentle atm (Mr. Warren) desisted, but he could not help saying it would have been as well if the hon. and learned gentleman the member for Aylesbury had confined himself tie exolaiaing, and not attribute to the Lord Chief Justice that he had garbled the extracts he had quoted from the speech to suit his own purpose. Mr. WHITESIDE defended the course adopted by the Lord Chief Justice, and the opinion he had ex pressed on the Law of Conspiracy. The motion for adjeurnment was then agreed to. SITTINGS OF COMMITTEES. On the motion of Sir J. GllallaM, leave was given for the committee of the house to sit during the ad journment of the house. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.

After a short conversation the iarther consideration of this bill wag postponed on the opposition of the hon. !Bombe , for Devonport (Sir E.

TSB ATTEMPTED AVASSINATION OF THB BMPEROR OF TEE FRENCEI. PARIS, Thursday.—The Court of Assizes was I crowded long before 10 o'clock by those persons who bad obtained permission to be present on the occasion. Many of the correspondents of the London journals were unable to get into the Court. It is not positively known whether it is the inten tion of the French Government to exclude the agents of foreign journals during the trial of Orsini and his companions ; but certain it is, the difficulty of obtaining tickets to enter the court is much greater than on previous occasions. Authentic information is, it appears, to be sup pressed as far as possible. In pursuance of a deci sion as unprecedented as it is arbitrary, unconsti tutional, and illegal, the authorities have pro hibited the French journals from publishing any reports of this trial, except such as shall be given out by a board of censure specially appointed for the purpose. The official report is intended, it is said, to bs very brief. There were ;,in court many gentlemen of the French bar who will, no doubt, give their version of the trial, and by degrees all will be known. The accusation and trial is based on an attempt to assassinate the Emperor and Empress of the French, on the eveningof Jan. 14. Five persons are d rectly accused as the authors of the plot, namely Ji) B ePh Pierri, Chas. de Rudio, Antonio Gomez, F. Orsini, and Simon Francois Bernard (the last-named ab sent). Da Rudio, Gomez, end Orsini, who threw the shells, are further accused of the murder of divers persons who have died from the wounds they received on the said evening of January 14th. The conduct of the trial is in the hands of M. Delangle, the President. Orsini and Pierridecided on having M. Jules Favre as legal counsel. De Radio and Gomez having declared that they had not made any choice, President Delangle has named M. Mathieu. to act for the former, and M. Nicolet for the latter. Lord Cowley, Marshal Magman, General Fleury, M. Dapin, and M. St. Georges (of the imperial printing-office), were among the company on the bench behind the judges. The members of the Council of the Order were the only advocates (be sides those engaged in the cause) who were admitted without tickets. At 20 minutes past 10 the four prisoners, guarded, as usual, by gen larmes, took their seats in the dock in the following order : 1, Gomez; 2, de Rudio ; 3, Orsini; 4, Pierre Gomez appears about 30 years old. He his a n.ild expres sion of countenance, rather fresh colour, long light bro sin hair, and no beard. He was well-dr seed in black, with black kid gloves, and appeared very calm. He does not look at all like a servant, but his appearance is less distingue than that of the other three, who have evidently been brought up as gentlemen. De Rudio has a large head with a lower jaw strongly developed, and a very deter mined expression of countenance, yellowish com plexion, thick black hair, with mustachios and im perial of the same colour. He is a strong made man, with large high shoulders. He was dressed in black ; age 25. He appeared very calm. Orsini, the principal prisoner, is a man of middle height (40 years old), with hair turning grey and very much off his forehead, and large and very black whiskers. He has an aquiline nose, piercing black eyes, a small well-chiselled mouth, very white teeth, and a pale complexion. He was well dressed, with a black frock coat and black kid gloves. He speaks French fluently, but with a strong Italian accent. On coming into court he looked round with a certain degree of curiosity, but without be traying the least emotion. Pierri is 50 years old. He has short bristly black hair, and wears an entire beard, which is rather grey. He has large features, and a countenance expressive of great determination. Like the other prisoners he was dressed in black, It was remarked that both he and Orsini held their heads erect, with a haughty, undaunted air. A few seconds after the introduction of the pri soners, President Delangle and the other judges took their seats on the bench. After the usual questions to the prisoners touching their names, ages, arid profes4ons, the long acte d'accusation was read, and occupied the court till past 12 o'clock. The sit.tiug was then suspended a short time. On the judges returning into court, Gomez was inter rogated by President Delangle. His answers may be summed up to this effect :—That he was not re sponsible for the act with which he was charged ; he only obeyed orders without knowing the object of them. (Orsini wan observed to smile during these explanations.) De Rudio said he was sent to Paris by Bernard ; that when he arrived there, but not before, the project of the assassination was confided to himby Orsini ; thathe agreed to come into it, because, had he refused, he feared that he should have been treated as a spy, and periaap- assassinated. Orsini said that when he found that Napoleon 111. bad it in his power to do so much for Italy, and had used it against her, the idea came into his head to act the part of Brutus, and that it was a right thing to kill the man who had killed the liberties of his country. He repeatedly said that he would not say a word against his fellow-pri soners, and that he regretted anything which, in a moment of anger, might have fallen from him against them. He answered with apparent candour all that concerned himself, but did in fact refuse to answer every question touching his confederates. He showed great firmness throughout. He took credit to himself for the part he had played in the Roman Republic. He said that liberty ought to be based upon courage and constancy, and not upon assassination. Whether Italy was to be repub lican or not, he said that she must first, and above all things, be ind.spi.h.4 CENTRAL CRI MINAL COURT', Feb. 26. wapxyr mgwq.—(Tbie' Dale OLD COURT. (B fore Mr. Justice Wightman.) Just before the adjournment of the Court late on Thurs day evening Edward James Salter, alias Holmes, de scribed es a sailor, was placed at the bar to receive judg ment. The prisoner had pleaded guilty to four indictments charging him with uttering forged 101. and Bank of England notes, and there were a great nu giber of other similar charges against him. The mode in which his ope rations were effected was of a very ingenious character, and well calculated to throw traelemmea off their guard. It appeared that he was in the habit of going about in a handsome hired brougham, with a servant in livery, him self being very well dressed, and on many occasions assum ing the character of a clergyman, to the shops of trades men and to inns sad hotelF, and at the former having purchased seme article of the value of 2/. or 31., he paid for it with a forged note, and his appearance and the name and seldress given by him having the effect of entirely dis pelling suiseicion, ho succeedet iu almost every instance in passing the forged note and obtaining his change. The last attempt was made at an inn at Hounslow, where, having pail his bill with a forged 101. note, he started in his brougham for town, but it happened by chan .e that a bank clerk was in the house at the time, and he asked to look at the note, and he at once pronounced it to be a counterfeit. A messenger was immediately despatched on horseback after the prisoner, and he came up with the brougham and found the priconor fast asleep inside, probably dreaming of fresh schemes of plunder, atal he was given into custody. The prisoner, as above stated, pleaded " Guilty" to the whole of the indict ments preferred against him, and it appeared that he was convicted of felony in 18 and sentenced to be transported for two years, and had obtained his liberty under a ticket of-leave. Mr. Justice Wightman having observed upon the in gen,ous character of the offence of which the prisoner had been guilty, and the necessity of protecting the public against such proceedings, sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for 18 years. John Carroll, 33, a Post-office letter-carrier, who had pleaded Guilty to two indictments charging him with stealing letters containing money and valuables, the pro perty of the Postmaster-General, was also brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude fur eight years. Joshua Valentine Hollingsworth, 34, was charged upon four ineictments with forging acceptances t bills of ex change with intent to defraud, ant also with obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Giffard, who appeared for the prisoner, said that he would plead guilty to the miler charge of obtaining money by false pretences, and he believed that the charge of forgery could not be supoorted. The prisoner had, to doubt, made false representations with regard to the bills, but the acceptances were really genuine ones. Mr. Bodkin, who with Mr. Sleigh prosecuted on behalf of the Bankers' Association, said that this was a case, unhappily now too frequent, where a magi carrying on busi ness induced men of straw to accept ladle for him for a small consideration, and then passed these bills away as genuine trade bills. ani got them discounted at the bankers as such. The signatures, however, being genuine, although utterly worthless, he was of opinion that the charge of forgery could no• be supported, and therefore he proposed to con sent to the course suggested by his learned friend. Mr. Justice Crompton sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' imprisonment. COVENT GARDEN. Only limited supplies of fruit and vegetables were on ;ale, and the demand ruled steady, as follows : POLICIZ INTEL! IGKNCE —Feb. 26. MANSION-HOUSE.—taeorge itacklin, a silk mann facturer, living at No. 5,511. p.-i-street, Bethual-ern-ren, was charted with having in his possession 12ilb. of dyers silk, of the value of 101., which had been stolen from the pre mises of Mr. James Walmesley, silk manufacturer, 12, King street, Cheapside. Mr. Lewis appeared in the part of the prisoner. J. T. Hicks, a gimp spinner, in the service of the pri soner, said—On Sunday, the 2.1 inst., my master sent for me to his house, and told me that he had two parcels which he wished meto get rid of as soon as possible, and he wanted me to take them away. I asked him where I .hould take them, and he replied, " Anywhere, so long as you take them out of my place for a few weeks." I told him I would not do anything of the kind, as it was Sunday. He asked me to have a cup of tea R ith hitr, and I did so. He then asked me whether I would call soon on the folowing (Mon day) morning, and take them out of the house before any ono came upon the premises. 1 went there at 8 o'clock, my usual time, and on the door being opened the prisoner, who was in bed, called out, " Tom, I wish you would take those parcels out of the house as quickly as possible." His wife gave ma a bag to put the two parcels in, and I took them to my own house for safety. On the Thursday fol lowing he ordered me to take some furniture patterns out of the house immediately, as Mr. Walmesley (the prosecu tor) was going to send a warrant to search the premises. He told me that if anybody noticed me carrying them I was to dc“ige thorn from one turning to another. I took them to my sister's at first, and then removed them to my own house for safety. (Laughter.) I neat removed them to the prisoner's premises, leaving the parcels of silk at my own horse, according to his directions. He said he wished them to remain there till everything was dropped, as he did n , t know whether the prosecutor would not send some one to search his premises. He told me that after every thing was dropped he should want me to bring some one whom I knew to him, to sell the goods to him (prisoner), and that he would pay for them at the rate of Brl. per ounce. He also said he shoul I want an invoice, not in the name of the person who brought them to sell, but in the name of some other person who lived 100 or 200 miles off, and if is deal person's name could be got at the better, so long as that person's name was on the invoice. After I h ar : all this I began to feel very uneasy, an lafter communicating with my friends I took the two parcels of silk to the prosecutor, who desired me to take them back to my house, and ilo,t to give them up to anybody till he came there, which he shortly after did with an officer. Mr. J, Walmesley —I am a wife .n.i trialtdiß4 manufac turer at 12, King-street, Cheapside. I bay. Nought goods of the prisoner, who has been in the habit r.f coming to toy warehouse. I identify the greater part of the silk protiuml as my property, and believe that the remainder belongs to me also. I hive lately missed, fom time to aim i, portions of my stock of the quality produce r. In consequence of a cornmunlcation made to me by the last witness, I yes ter/ay went to the prisoner's house with a constable, who took possession of the silk. (The furniture patterns have not been found.) T. Harris, met , opelitan police constable, 119, H —I went with the prosecutor and took the prisoner into custody for having the silk in his possession. He told nee it belonged to him, and that he hail an invoice of it. Ho afterwards said that he had not an invoice of it. He said he wished to have a little private conversation with the prosecutor. The prosecutor attetwards told me in the prisoner's pre sence that the prisoner had told him that he had had the silk from a young man in the prosecutor's employment. The prisoner afterwards denied this, and said he ha , i bought it of a man who came from Co sentry, whose name and address lie did not know. The prosecutor was recalled, and said,—When I said to the prisoner, " That is my silk," he replied, " It is your silk," and he asked me to make the matter up, as the dis grace would be so great. I asked him where he got it from, and he replied, " From Tom," alluding, as I thought, to my porter of that name. By Mr. Lewis—l have dealt with him for many years, and always found him perfeely honest in his dealings. The prisoner, who said he was not guilty, was fully com• mitted for trial, the Lord Mayor refusing to accept bill. WORSHIP-STREET.—James Pillar, alias Stonely, I was charged with the following frauds : Anne Green—l am a widow, living in Derhyshire-street, Bethnal-green ; and was at my san's house, in Charles-street, adjoining, on Monday, the Bth inst., when the prisoner knocked at the door, and asked me if I ha I not some pro perty abroad. I said no, but I had in the Isle of Wight, and he replied, " Well, then, I em come to tell you that it will all be in Chancery if you don't give me 10s. 114 d., and iis. for letters sent backwards and forwards about it." He then told me I was to go to Hr. Remisell, of 18, Strand, next morning, at t 0 o'clock, and settle it. I believed his statement, and gave him 15e. 11.1., and he accompanied me home to get the money. William Green—l am a labourer, anal the last witness's son. When we told the prisoner our property was in the Isle of Wight he said, Ay, yes, that's it ;" and when directing us, after paying him the money, to go to 18, Strand, he said, " Ask for Mr. Joseph's offices, and you will be shown into mine." Instead of going next morn ing, however, we went the same evening, and found that waat he had told us was totally false, inasmuch as the people there told us that numbers of people had applied to them under the same circ-unstanoes, complaining very bitterly of the way they had been cheated, and theyshowed us a list of the people. John Boyd—l am a weaver at Mile-end. On Wednes day, the 10th, the prisoner came to my house and asked me if I had not somebody abroad belonging to me. I have a brother in Van Diemen's Land, and prisoner said, " Well, I've come to tell you that he's deal, and has left all his property to you, but you will have to pay 10a. 1.1.1. at my office in the Strand to-morrow before half-past two, or you will not receive the property." I believed what he said, and paid hint 125., and, after giving me two six pences back. he said, " The halfpenny will do another time, as I am going to see an old lady in Ratcliffe-high way." I accompanied him a short distance and showed him the way, but I soon di.clvered that I had been de frauded, anti saw no more of him till I found him in cus tody on another charge. Thomas Hammond, of Brompton-place, Stepney.--On Tuesday, the 9th inst., the prisoner stopped m Ch e ris i tian Co an mercial-street, Whitechapel, and asked , in,T \v „ we have surnsme. I told hian, and h e exclaimed, .y, • advertised for you in the papers ; are you aware No, I am there is a " large quantity of property left , ytie 9"I. "just step home, . not." " Well, there i s, then, ' sai d he . and I'll tell you." I went home with him, end then ray wife handed me a direction he had just b t efore left with her, anti he told u s to go to 18,Strand, thi. afternoon, or next mor ning at the late st, or the property would be c,-r tainly thrown into Chancery, and we sooni never get any him of it. We wal ked with and he demanded I Os. Od. to stay the Chancery proceedings,thegleater portion of which rive bin], but nothing carne of it, and we next wedis coveredgave we had been robbed of our mono!. H e nry Sprett---I am assistant to Mr. Thomas Allen, an army outfitter, of 18, Strand, and never saw the prisoner before to-day that lam aware of. Within the last six weeks innumerable persons have applied at our house for a Mr. Randall or Rsndsell, but no snob person;ever lived there, nor is there the slightest foundation for the statement made by the prisoner that our house is a place used for any such purpose. Queenby, 125 H, said I have 14 other oases of the same description still. The prisoner, who doscriied himself as a draper's assis tant, and was stated by the police to have been repeatedly iu custody for rob Jery and other offences, laughed continu ally at the witnesses while describing the plausible manner by, which he had taken advantage of them, and, on being called upon for his defence, replied tartly, " Oh, I shall reserve it ; I know nothing whatever about it ; they are all certainly mad," The prisoner wag committed for trial, ,oil DVi:RTIEEILENT.] —Holloway's 0 ntment and Pills. —With tbesa marvell , us remedies at hand, stone nee,l despair of being cured, they act in unison on the absor bent system, giving energy, tone, and vigour to all the functions of lite, their surprising sale in every part of the civilised world is the most convincing proof of their efficacy in curing bad legs, old wounds, scrofula, and diseases of the skin, thousands of persons who suffered from these dreadful maladies have been cured by their use, after every other remedy bad failed—their is no case however obstinate or long standing, but may be cured, therefore the afflicted should immediately try them. — s o ld by all me !join° vendors throughout the World ; at ProfeJsor Uolloway'e Estxblishineut, .244, Strand , L ,ndon.
