FRAN C General d'Ornano, who has just ben named Grand Chancellor of th L: ;ion of Honour, was born at AjaFcio in 1784. Hi ile3cends from a Corsican family which has al:early given two Itilarshals to France, under Henri IV. and Louis XIII. He entered the army at the age of sixteen, and made his first campaign at Marengo. He was afterwards Aide-de-Camp to General Leclerc in the expedition to Saint Domingo. After the battle of lena he was named Colonel of the 25th regiment of Dragoons, at the head of which he made the campaigns of Switzerland and Poland in 1806 and 1807. After the peace of Tilsit he served under Marshal Ney in Spain and Portugal, and was made General of Brigade after the battle of Fuentes d'Onoro. He followed the Emperor into Russia in 1812, and was promoted to the rank of general of division on the eve of the battle of La Mul,kowa, where he was at the head of the cavalry. In 1814 he comma n ded the army which covered Paris. General d'Ornano rec kons forty-eight years of service, and twenty cam• paigns. Ile was named grand officer of the Legion of Honour, in 1834, and Grand Cross in 1850. We find the following in the weekly commercial bulletin of the Presse:—" The improvement in bu siness which we mentioned la s t w e e k, has acquired fresh progress in all articl es manufactured in Paris. Important orders are received by every packet from i the Brazils and the U n ited States, and there s every reason to hope that the export trade, which had . been dull during the fi rs t s i x months of th e year, will am• prove for the autumn months. It may be remembered that the American markets were very much over stocked at the commencement of the year, and that a part of the goods sent out in 1851 were obliged to be sold at a loss ; but as these goods have now. inben com aangualfnacturdeerms pletely got rid of, French goo_d h s e ar m edemand in the American markets.

The o pening of the Exhibiti on o f S candinavian industry at Copenhagen took place on the 6th inst. It is held in the Crystal P a l ace constructed on the site of the old manege attached to the Royal residence of Christiansborg. The KING, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince, Prince CHRISTIAN of Glueks. bourg, Prince FREDERIC of Hesse, and the Ministers and high dignitaries cf the Court, arrived at noon. Tee Royal party were received by Councillor EIMER.* SEN, President of the Committee of the Exhibition, who addressed his MAJESTY in a speech in which he expressed the sentiments of gratitude felt by the ma nufacturing classes for the encouragement given to arts and manufactures, and his constant desire to promote the welfare of his people. His MAJESTY re plied in the most gracious manner, and his words were received with loud cries of " Long live the King." After the departure of the Royal party the doors were thrown open to the public. S WITZERLAND. The National Council of Switzerland, in the sitting of Saturday, decided that the Federal Council should be authorised to bring into execution, on the Ist of October next, the postal - treaty between Switzerland, Austria, and the German States. The Council was also occupied with the proposition previously adopted by the Council of States, relative to relieving the cantons which formed part of the Sonderbund, from the payment of the sums remaining due on their portion of the war expenses. In the course of the discussion three several resolutions were made ; one, that the wee sum due, 3,340,771 f., should be re mi,ted ; adr:zer, that the amount should be only 1,000,000 f. on the principal sum, and 953,165 f. of the supplementary debt; and a third, that the latter sum alone should be remitted. Eventually, the [notion for giving up the whole 3,340,7711. was carried, tlyi Madinat Members having displayed a conciliatory pi r it. "The Council of States, on the same day adopted a resolution to the Effect that if the Federal Executive Council simu!cl r:ceive diplomatic commu nications the sfrair of Neufcbii - el, they shall be commtinicatiA to that canton." The Duchess D'ORLEANI and her children arrived at Geneva on the 13th. ITALY. The Official Gazette of Sazoy r - lf the I.sth states that General Forey, the officer who organised the twelve battali:ms of Chasseurs de Vincennes, being lately at Turin, rtcotntnt , nded the practice of firing at a target, as a great ele rum - it of strength for the Pied montese nation ; and that M. Pernati, Minister of the Interior, approving cf his advice, has now published a circular, - .varnily reco m me n di ng th e au th or iti es t o , encourage the practice alluded to. GENERAL FLORES.

So promptly and liberally was the appeal responded to by the congregation that an immediate order was given to the same artist, Mr. E. Baillie, of Cumber land-market Regent's-park, by w hom the new win dows have beer erected within these few days, and from the general approbation expressed of their har monising with the architectural style of the church, while the glare of light which hitherto prevailed is so admirably softened, another refutation is giv en to the opinion prevalent in some quarters, that none but Gothic churches can be appropriately decorated with stained g l ass , an d w ill ev id en tly s h u w that it can b e effectiv e ly introduced into any church of whatever style of architecture.

The following descriptive particulars of ..Mr. Ben- Eon's design, which has been adopted for the Exhibi tion Building will be read with interest :—Presenting a front to Merrion-square of 300 feet, the main or centre feature of the elevation consists of a semicircular projection which forms the eastern termination of the central hall. This will be a noble apartment of 425 feet in length, and 100 feet in height, covered by a semicircular roof upon trellis ribs, in one span of 100 feet. On each side of the central hall, and running parallel to it for the same length, are two halls 50 feet wide, with domed roofs, similar to that which covers the main nave or hall of the building. The height from the floor to the roof of each of these halls will be 65 feet. They are approached through passages from the centre hall. In addition to these three halls are four compartments of 25 feet wide, running the whole length of the building ; two are placed between the centre ball and the side halls, and two on each side of the latter ; divided into sections of 25 feet square, forming convenient divisions for the pur poses of classification. Over these compartments are spacious galleries, also running the length of the building, which will not only afford incre4sed space for exhibition, but an agreeable promena de from whence the ee:: of the three halls %via be seen to great advantrge. The ceiling of the halls being divided into panels formed by the trellis ribs and the other constructive parts of the building, will provide ample opportunity for effective decoration. Light is ad mitted from above in one unbroken and equally dis tributed body. The construction of the building i s strongly marked on the elevation, and forms in fact the ornamental character of the design. There are also external galleries which will be attractive features in the exterior, and will be useful in providing access t i h s e s b era m i l s d P i h n e g: to the roof for repai rs, &c. The termination of ea c h of the principalroofstaosthweelelaasst effect d ec w t e t s o t rical, giving strength There will be three entrances in the front facing Merrion-square, under a range of verandahs, through which access will be had for the holders of season tickets and the general public. The materials of the building will be iron, timber, and glass. The latter will only be used for light, as before described. The parts of the roof at each side of the lights will be timber, covered with the water-proof cloth, manufactured by Messrs. Malcomson, of Portlaw, county of Waterford. The trellis girders which support the galleries will be of wrought iron, supported on cast iron pillars. Ample accom modation in A ' Abe way o f re f res h men t, retiring rooms, offices, &c., i s provided in the plan. Access to the Building can also be had by the spacious court-yard o including ftheßoyalDublin Society, whose suite of apart ments,the Museum, will be thrown open to the public during the Exhibition. The available area of ground floor will be 147,704 feet. Of wall Apace there will be not less than 87,000 feet. The design, not only in respect to the striking and bold effect of the elevation, but also of the interior, is deserving of the highest praise. Mr. Benson appears to have forgetten the Crystal Palace, and has had the courage to think for himself. He has produced a design worthy of the purpose contemplated, and highly creditable to his artistic and practical character as an architect. We understand that a lithograph will be published in a few days by Mr. M'Glashan, showing the principal elevation of the building. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Exactly this day six years—on the 12th of August, 1846—we recorded one of the most terrific thunder storms experienced in this district for at least halt' a century ; and to-day we have to chronicle a storm perhaps equally severe. On Thursday even ing last very heavy rains fell in Strathglass, accom panied for some hours with incessant peals of thun der, and frequent and particular l y v ivid flashes of ligntning. Oa Friday severa l lou d peals broke over the town; but were follow ed b y only slight showers. The northern side of the Cromarty Firtb was on that day visited by a storm which will be re membered for many a day. In the morning some lengthened peals were heard at a distance, which gra dually lessened till about one o'clock, when the storm was right over Aloess, where for nearly two hours the clouds discharged their contents with terrific fury. The sky was so heavily overcast that it was almost as if the sun had ,set. Rain and hail fell in such torrents the; every road appeared like the channel of a burn. Happily no accident occurred, except the destruction of a large ash tree at Millcraig, which was rent to pieces. A man sitting under a neighbouring tree for shelter felt the shock. The electric fluid on entering the ground, caused such a convulsion, tint it shook a cottage situated close to the tree, disarranged part of the furniture, and the occupant, an old woman, was thrown to the ground either by fright cr by the shock. On Saturday, shortly after noon, Inverness was visited with a storm of thunder unparalleled since that of August, 1846. For two long hours the flashes of forked and sheet lightning were followed almost instantaneously by long-continued peals of hthunder. Rain fell in torrents for nearly alf-an-hour, and darkened the heavens so as make: the scene really terrifying. We have heard of _ ral eases of indisposition occurring from fright. and forcing The thunder was so frequent that scarcely two minutes intervened speedily e.ween each successive peal.

The electric fluid simultaneously entered another apart ment in the house, by th e same means, and bur stin g the side of the wall, it burnt and blackened a clock on the opposite side of the room, set fire to a chair, a nd also m a d e i ts ex i t b y a window. It may be remarked that in L o th o f t h ese i nstances the terror of t h e °ceil pauts for thunder possibly proved th e p rese rvation of 3°Lne of them—the people living i n th e h ouse becom ing so fri ghtened until ti ghten darked that they had all pre v i ous l y es2eine i bled i n a small t ro it o s m te , r i m n ia w a h tl i a e n h . they remained i hltddld together On.

Richerd Sill surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with misdemeanor in having unlawfully obtained money by false pretences from Henry Broome. Mi. Parry and Mr. Metcalf conducted the prose cution; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Doyle were counsel for the defendant. The Learned COUNSEL for the prosecution, on open ing the case, said it was one of a very remarkable character, and he therefore bespoke the serious atten tion of the jury to the facts he should lay before them in support of the charge. The defendant was charged with obtaining money by false pretences, an offence which under all circumstances was one of a very se rious character, but which in the present instance was rendered still more serious by the fact that the de fendant was a person who had occupied a very re spectable position in society, who had for some time been an attorney, and who, therefore, ought not, under any circumstances, to have been a party to any violation of the law. He then proceeded to state that the defendant was charged with having obtained from Mr. Henry Broome, the prosecutor of the present indictment, sever a l bills of exchange of a large amount, and also a considerable amount in cash, under false pretences, in connexion with a charge of card cheating at Brighton, the particulars of which had obtained a good deal of notoriety, and the facts of which it would be necessary for him briefly to allude. The Learned Counsel then called the attention of the jury to the circumstance of the charge against John Broome, the brother of the prosecutor of the present 1 indictment, and two other persons named Staden and ' James, the latter of whom, it will be remembered, ' were convicted at the recent assizes at Lewes, and sentenced to two years' bard labour, and said that the defendant, who had acted as the solicitor for the pro secution in the first instance, was now charged with obtaining bills of exchange and money from the pro secutor, under the pretence that he had had an inter view with Mr. Walpole, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and that he had sufficient influence with him to prevent his brother from being trans ported, and that he could, in fact, relieve him from any inconvenience in reference to the indictment that had been preferred against him. He should be able to prove must clearly that by means of this false re presentation the defendant had obtained property to a considerable amount from the prosecutor; and he said he must confess he was at a loss to imagine what line of defence would be taken. An attempt would probably be made, he said, to attack the character of the prosecutor, and he was bound to admit that Henry Broome had been a prizefighter, and that he had also been connected with the turf, and it might be urged that he was a man not ve ry likely to be imposed upon; but the jury must recollect that he had to deal with an attorney, a man of experienee, and who, by his position as solici tor for the prosecution against his brother, would ne cessarily have a great deal of influence over him, and by whom, therefore, he might more easily have been deceived. The Learned Counsel next proceeded to refer to some of the other circumstances of the case, and the following evidence was then adduced : Mr. Verret!, clerk to the bench of magistrates at B r i g h ton , deposed that he acted in that capacity upon the occasions of the different examinations of Staden, J ames , and John Broome, upon the charge of obtain ing money and bills of exchange from Mr. Hemp by means of cheating at cards. The defendant, Mr. Sill, had attended several examinations in the capacity of solicitor for the prosecutor, and he did so on the Bth of March. Up on th at occasion he asked for the sa nction of the ma g is trates to be allowed to with draw from the prosecution ; an d a l so th a t th e re cognizances o f Mr. Chase, the chief constable of Brightoe, who had bee n bound over to prosecute, s h ou ld be discharged. The ground he alleged for desiring to withdraw from the prosecution was that Mr. He m p h ad made an affidavit upon the subject of his bill of costs in which he made a state ment directly in contradiction to the evidence he had given before the magistrates, and that his evidence therefore could not be relied upon. The magistrates retired to consider the application, and upon their re turn they told the defendant that as he desired to withdraw from the case they did not consider him any longer as the solicitor for the prosecution, and he did not again appear in the case in that capacity. The magistrates afterwards instructed witness to carry on th e prosecution, and he did so, and Staden and James were tried at the last assizes at Lewis and convicted. John Broome did not surrender to take his trial with them. B-oome, the p rosecutor, deposed that h e Henry formerly kept the Opera Tavern in the Haymarket, but was at present residing at No. 102, Lisson-grove. He had been a pugilist, and was known as the cham pion of the prize rin g , or what remained of it.-- (A laugh.) ale remembered a young gentleman nam ed at the public-house kept " Hemp going to lodg e in Air-street, Piccadilly, by his brother, John Breenie brother to and that he went with his Brighton races last s h o rtly afterwards a char ge as year, and that brother and tw P 3 o erson - Warned ma d e against his n M Staden and Jaws:' g r. 'lamp, money by foul and defrauding hina of didnotgo to play Witness at cards. W nothing of what occurred with them. He knew w of the charge on th there. He first heard n othing of the defend e ant 2 , " of Mr. August. He k new w as made against his , Sill, until this charge him was on the evening and the first time he saw the 6th of March, when be was him sent for to an oyster- and found there. When shop in the Strand, the ca me up to him an d heshook defendant saw him - had been wanting id he hands with him, and said see they then had several I him fur some time, an d t t n a which witness pafclasfr of grog, the greater part proposed that theyfor. After some time the defendant house, as he said i should go together to witness_any people, and they he could not speak before sntua the Opera Tavern, ac cordingly went together 4 o'clock, and they Iv At this time it was nearly then said that it ent into the bar, and the defendant wa s against • he who bad carried on the prosecution had seen the Secretary of brother, and that he dhe had told him that l State upon the subject, a_n he would be transported.' his brother was convicted said that it would be impossible indictment for him to escape, as he had. and it was impossibleit, good for his brother to get through in fact, the deal of conversation together; morning ( conversa tion lasted until 5 o'clock the next had before ' a laugh.) In addition to w hat he just time enoughstated,the defendant told him that there aarla do it, to but he save his brother, and that he was could on' must have at least 3001. it 5 o'clock h;s Sunday morning when the defendant left that house,and he day t o said he would give him until 2 o'clock that the defendant get up the - mouey. He was awarea e the had been engaged as the attorney o hisprosecution, statement coptication nun with r egar d to hi s h av i n g been in with the S ecre t ary o f S defendant tate. The t came again to hi s h ous e about 2 o'cloc k, and ho then re peated whet he heel stated before about the power he possessed with the Secretary of State, and he also said that he had got Mr. Chase, the chief officer of Brighton, substituted ac the prosecutor instead of Mr. *.< AUGUST Hemp, and he pointed to a paragraph that was in a newspaper upon the table in confirmation of his state ment, and he said it hid been done through the Se cretary of State. In consequence of what the defen dant said upon this occ ision witness was induced to give him two bills of 1201. each. These bills were 1 upon French stamps, and they were drawn by John Hamp, the brother of Mr. Hemp, who was the prose cutor of the indictment, and indorsed by witness and his brother. The defendant said he must have some money as well as the bills, and witness gave him a 101. note, two 51. notes, and a check for 201. He then said as there might be some difficulty in getting these bills discounted, he must have an English bill of exchange for 2401. with witness's and his brother's name upon it. Witness told him that it was Sunday, and he could not get a stamp, but the de fendant said he must go and find one, and he went out and obtained a stamp from a neighbour, and when be came back it was filled up for 240/. at four months' date. The defendant kept possession of all the bills, and he remained at witness's house drinking until eleven o'clock at night. The drink was all at wit ness's expense of course.—(A laugh.) During the day the defendant wanted him to put his name to the French bills ; end on his telling him that he was a bankrupt, and that he could not pay, and his name would be of no use, the defendant said that he was a good bankruptcy lawyer, and witness might take his word that be would come to no harm through signing the bills Oa the following day (Ilonday) witness and the defendant went down to Brighton, for the purpose, according to the defendant's statement, of getting Mr. Chase's recognizences taken off, and having the prosecution put a stop to, and he at the same time said that if he (the defendant) took no further steps in the prosecution, he was sure the Se cretary of State would not. They went to the Town-hall, but when Mr. Sill was about to make the application to the magistrates the court was cleared, and witness therefore did not know what oc curred. They returned to town together, and since that time he had repeatedly seen the defendant at his house; and on several occasions, up to the 13th of April, he gave money to the defendant. Upon one occasion he gave him 201. for the purpose of going down to Herefordshire to see the prosecutor and some other persons, and obtain affidavits with a view to get the venue for the trial removed from Sussex to some other county. Witness was at Lewes at the spring assizes of the present year, and his brother John also went down one day but returned at night. On the 13th of April the defendant came to wit ness's house. His brother was there at the time with some friends, but the defendant said be came upon business, and all the other persons except witness, his brother, and the defendant were requested to leave the room. The defendant said that two of the bills that were given to him were of such a long date that he could do nothing with them, and he must have an order upon a banker for 2001. at seven days, and 15/. or 20/. in money. At this time witness had from the defendant 1201. or 1301. in notes besides the bills. He had consulted his solicitor upon the affair, and what subsequently took place upon this occasion was done under legal advice. When the defendant said he must have the bill for 2001. witness asked him how he could think of demanding such serious amounts from them when he knew very well that his brother was innocent, and that he himself had no thing whatever to do with the matter, and he replied that it did not matter how innocent they were, but it was what the world thought of them. A bill stamp was then sent for and a bill for 2001. was drawn, and the defendant produced the other bills and laid them on the table. Witness's brother then asked to look at the stamp on the 2001. bill, and as he was reaching it he picked up all the other bills and put them in his pocket, and witness now produced them. The de fendant was very excited and demanded the bills back, and said that if they were not returned to him he would never leave them until he had transported either witness or his brother. The witness concluded by stating that at the time he gave the bills and the money to the defendant he did so entirely upon his representation with regard to his influence with the Secretary of State. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—None of these securities have been paid except 25/. This was paid on the 6th of March. Mr. Hamp is not here to give evidence. I am the prosecutor of this indict ment. I have prepared three indictments against the defendant altogether, but before any charges were made I went to the police•office and obtained advice. The magistrate did not refuse to grant me a summons, but he told me I might give Mr. Sill into custody when I met him. I don't know what Mr. Sill was charged with, but I believe that one of the counts of the indictment charged him with rob bing me and my brother. He was charged with stealing these very bills and money. He was acquitted upon two of these indictments in the Court of Queen's Bench, because no evidence was offered against him. I had known Mr. Hamp for 12 months before he came to London, but I did not recommend him to go to my brother's house. I bad seen Staden and James there. I know what my brother was charged with, and I had heard that it was a transport able offence. I did not give the money to Mr. Sill to compromise the charge, but on account of my be lieving he had influence enough with the Secretary of State to get my, brother transported. I believed my brother was innocent, but still I thought it was possible he might be transported. I swear that I believed Mr. Sill had the po xer to get my brother transported, through his influence with the Secre tary of State, and I wanted my brother to be saved. I did not know how Mr. Sill was going to act, nor how he was going to save my brother. I have seen Mr. Hemp repeatedly during these proceedings, and I know that he wanted to withdraw from the prose cution, so far as my brother was concerned. I went down to Hereford with Mr. Hamp. I went there to get myself into condition. I did not get myself into condition among the " independent voters" at the last election.—(A laugh.) I was at Ledbury at the time of the election. I was not in training there. The RECORDER — Are you going to try this case as an election committee ? Mr. BALLANTINE—NO, my Lord ; my only object was to show how the gentleman employed himself. Cross-examination continued—ln the course of the proceedings Mr. Sill told me he could not get his bill of costs from Mr. Hemp. Re-examined—All the legal proceedings that were taken were with the sanction and advice of his legal adviser. Witness knew nothing whatever about " dummy" indictments.—(A laugh) The indict ments were removed to the Queen's Bench by Mr. Sill, and he was acquitted in consequence of none of the witnesses being in attendance. A witness named Thomas Bray was then called upon his subpoena, but he did not appear. Mr. Samuel Genesse deposed that he knew the de fendant and the prosecutor, and remembered seeing them on a Sunday, about the month of March, at Broome's house; and he recollected drawing a bill at the request of Henry Broome. The bill was dated the 6th of March, and he had no doubt it was drawn near that time. It was the same bill now produced. The defendant did not upon any occasion call upon him and request him to discount any bills. Mr. Edwin Parry deposed that he was managing clerk to Mr. John Smith, an attorney at Birming ham. In March last Mr. Sill called at their office, and witness saw him and inquired if his business re lated to the affair of Mr. Hamp. He replied that his business in Birmingham was to get some bills discounted, and he produced the two French bills for 1201. each, and the English one. Witness looked at them, and said be did not like the names, and that Mr. Hemp was good for nothing, and that he did not think Mr. Smith would have anything to do with them on account of Mr. Broome's position. The de-. fendant replied, that if he referred to the Brighton affair that was arranged. Witness then said he sup posed these bills had been given to settle it, and Mr. Sill smiled, and said they were. William Thackeray, waiter at the Opera Tavern, proved that the defendant came there on Saturday night, the 6th of March, accompanied by his master, Mr. Henry Broome. He was in and out of the room where they were occasionally, and he heard Mr. Sill say that he had been to the Secretary of State, and he had told him that if his brother was con victed he would be sure to be transported. Mr. Sill, after this, called at the house almost every day up to the 13:h of April, and he several times asked wit ness if his master had left any money for him, and when he told him he had not he appeared very angry, and said it would be worse for him if he did not leave him some. A memorandum in the handwriting of the de fendant, to the effect that he woul d g ive up the twc bills for 1201. each if the one for 2401. was paid when it arrived at maturity, was then put in and read. Mr. John Sheerman deposed that he was a witness in support of the card cheating that was originally preferred at Brighton. Before he was examined at Brighton he saw Mr. Sill at the Cheshire Cheese public-house, and he was represented to be the attor ney for the prosecution. Mr. Hemp said that John Broome knew nothing of the transaction, but Mr. Sill said they must put him in because he was a moneyed man, and he would pay the expenses. Upon another occasion he saw Mr. Sill at the residence of Mr. Hemp, in Herefordshire, and he said he had got a good deal of money out of the prosecution, and witness was a fool if he did not get some too. Witness told him he should do no such thing. He (Mr. Sill) knew very well that Broome was innocent, an d that Mr. Hemp had told him so, and he replied that it did not matter—innocent or not, it was what the world thought of it. On the 16th of March he at tended the assizes at Lewes, and Mr. Sill, wh om he met there, told him he had got a good amount in cash a nd bills from Henry Broome, and be (witness) would be of great assistance to him if he could persuade him that he had great influence with the Secretary of State, t o , p event his brother from being transported ; and if he did so, and he could get a bill f o r 3002. more from him he t (witness) should t "stand in" and have a third. He refused to have anything to do with the mattiA . , and told him he knew very well that John Broome wai innocent. Mr. Sill then said that he l.id comnh , !ely frighrenHd Henry Broome by telling him of hie LiheflOr. witi the Se- crerary of State. - Crozs-examined—He reed something in': Brighton newspaper about Mr. Sill having stated that he and some of the other witnesses for the prosectrion were unworthy of belief. lie was an attorney's clerk, but be had not been in any employment for more than a twelvemonth. He had got his living since then by stopping with Mr. Hamp at his house in the country as a " companion." He had no other means of ob taining a livelihood at present. When Mr. Hamp was i❑ London witness stayed with him at Johnny Broome's, and he accompanied the parties to Brighton upon the occasion when Mr. Hamp was plundered by James and Staden. Re-examined—He knew Mr. Hamp from living near him in Herefordshire. They were both Here fordshire men. Mr. limp was the son of a banker, and had some property. Mr. SecreUry Walpole was then examined. He said—l am her Matjeity's principal Secretary of State for the Home D.oartinent, and have held that office since the 2.7 th of Februuy. Ido not remember ever having seen the defendant before to-day, and I know nothing %hatever relating to the card cheating case at Brighton, except from seeing the reports in the news papers. - Che defendant never called upon me in re ference to any indictment upon the subject, and I certainly never expressed any opinion to him as to whrther John Broome would be transported or not. Mr. PARRY—It appears almost too absurd to ask such a question ; but had the defendant any influence whatever over you ? Mr. BALLA.NTINE—Oh, of course it would he ab surd to ask such a question. We admit the defendant had no influence whatever. By Mr. BALLANTINE—There are two Unclar-Sa cretaries, Mr. Waddington and Sir W. Jolliffe. There are two other principal Secretaries of State, one for Foreign Affairs and the other for the Colonies. Mr. Panay—But I suppose it is not very likely either of these high officers would be likely to take cognizance of a card cheating case at Brighton ? Mr. Secretary Walpole—l should say certainly not. I think, however, Mr. Waddington did ray something to me with regard to his having been sub poenaed to attend a trial upon such a charge. Mr. H. B. Dunn deposed that he was engaged as the attorney for Mr. Hamp, While he was engaged in that capacity Mr. Sill sent in his bill of costs for conducting the prosecution, which amounted to over 3001. This sum was afterwards reduced by taxation to 1551., and thatreduced amount was paid to the de fendant. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTINE submitted that the falsehood of the allegation upon which the indictment rested had not been sufficiently proved. It appeared there were two Under-Secretaries of State, and as neither of them were called on behalf of the prosecution there was nothing to show that they were not the parties referred to by the defendant when he spoke of the Secretary (f State. The RECORDER overruled the objection, observing that it was a question for the jury whether the whole was not a fabrication, and whether the defendant had been in communication with any Secretary of State at all. Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury for the defendant. He said he would not for a moment en deavour to put Mr. Sill before the jury as a person who had acted properly in this transaction, or who deserved to be at all represented as an honourable member of what was undoubtedly an honourable pro fession when properly exercised ; but on the contrary, he was bound to admit, in the outset, that he had acted most improperly, and that he had endeavoured to use the criminal law for the purpose of furthering his own interest, instead of making it the means of punishing those who had committed a most serious offence. lie would not attempt to justify his conduct, but he must remark that he had already suffered most severely. In fact be was a ruined man. His pros pects were utterly destroyed, and there was not the slightest chance of his ever being able to do any more mischief, at all events in the profession to which he belonged. While, however, he made this admission, he said he felt bound to contend that this was the extent of his fault, and that he ought not to be convicted upon the charge of obtaining money by false pretences. He urged that there could be no doubt what were the real facts of the case. It was evident that Hamp was an unwilling prosecutor, and that the defendant saw pretty plainly 'he was in the hands of persons who were not very likely to carry on the prosecution to a satisfactory termination, and having incurred very considerable expense, and being in want of money, he endeavoured to reimburse himself by compromising the offence with the brother of one of the accused parties. If, therefore, he had been ac cused of endeavouring to compromise a misdemeanour he should not have had a word to say for him ; but here be was charged with obtaining money by false pretences, which offence he contended he had not committed, and, in point of fact, never thought of committing. As to the statement about the Secre tary of State, he submitted that it had nothing what ever to do with the case. The real truth was that Henry Broome wanted to get his brother out of the scrape, and the intention with which everything was done was that the prosecution should be abandoned. The defendant, Mr. Sill, most improperly lent him self to the proceeding, and so far as he was concerned he endeavoured to carry it out, for he withdrew from acting as the solicitor for the prosecution. The ma gistrates, however, very properly, no doubt, and in the strict and honourable performance of their duty, would not allow the matter to be settled in that man ner, but instructed their clerk to carry on the prose cution. Bat this was not the fault of Mr. Sill ; he had done all he could to stop the prosecution and had not broken any faith with Broome, and it certainly did appear t o hi m to b e rat h er a hardshipC that where two persons were parties to an illegal transaction that, because it did not turn out to the satisfaction of one of them, he should be allowed to turn round upon his companion. He submitted that this was the real history of the present proceeding, and that there could be no doubt that this indictment was only preferred out of a feeling of revenge at the compromise having been frustrated, and that two of the parties should have been convicted, and the brother of the pro secutor compelled to leave the country to avoid pos sibly sharing the same fate. The RECORDER then summed up the whole case with great clearness. Having explained the law upon the subject of the charge, he observed, there could be no doubt that they were wading through very dirty water, and that a great many of the per sons onncerned in the whole of this transaction were very far from respectable. He trusted that tile dis closures that bad been made, however, would have the effect of warning young men of fortune of the pitfalls that were prepared for them in this metro polis, and that it would prevent them from associating with persons of disreputable character. With r e gard to the defendant, enoug h h a d b een s h own to make it quite clear, at all events, that he had taken a part in the matter quite unworthy the position he held ; but the jury ought not to allow that to be con victed influence their minds, a n d he ought not to upon the specific charge eence clearlyvid of w hich he was accused unless the made out the truth of that charge.
