This company is formed under a concession of an extensive mineral district, ih the Grand Duchy of Haden, situated within 35 ho nra of London, and is held under charter from his Royal Highness the Gran d Duke, granted to the Mining Association of Baden. The til Is is indisputable, being a direct grant from the Crown on a royalty of only 1-50th of the net profits. 97he reports in the hands of the mining authorities of Baden have bee in collated by a German miner of eminence.. They have been exe mined by Captaia Matthew Francis, whose experience in lead stir deg is well known in this country, whose report is appended. M. paub estimates the probable yield at only tenfatho:ns depth, from the 'present adit level of two of the three mines in the Miinsterthal, at 5 y 250 tons of pig lead, and 2 3,0001b5. of silver. This quantity, at present prices, is worth 120,000/. ; and supposing it tIT cost one half to work the mines, will give a profit of 60,0011. spot s ten fathoms sunk. The yield of the Native Silver and Cobalt Mite's in the Henbach is estimated by him at an equal value. Fs sr the purpose of realising these advantages, and obtaining the eo-a Aeration of English skill and enterprise, the Mining Association of 13 aden has celed to this Company the whole of those rich Mini 3s, together with the extensive Crushing and Dressing Machi neryi , Smelting and Refining Furnaces, completely fitted up, and in Work ing order, with the tools, appurtenances, water-courses, and OtinV rights, on which vast sums have been expended. for a mode rate price, which they have agreed to take entirely in Shares. By this iarrangement, this Company secures the co-operation of a ifighly ential body of Sharehoklers in Germany, including names of the highest distinction ; while, at the same time, the entire and ab win to control of all operations is vested by the Charter in the Com rait Gee of Management in London, but with the advantage of a Cot amittee at Carlsruhe, who will carry out the arrangements agreed UP, and, under instructions, represent the Directors in all local Mr tiers. responsibility is expressly limited to the amount of Shares held and ;paid up. It . is proposed at present to issue out of the capital, in addition 41 28 . 0 0:1 Shares agreed to be granted in pursuance of the deed of ces sion, Only 24,000 shares, with a reserved power to the Directors to issue F the remainder. In ► commercial point of view, this property presents the special Point of interest, that silver is already coming into increased demand, and vs ill continue to rise in value as gold becomes more abundant in this a nd other countries.

On this 10th of April we can at last annoucce that the contest is substantially at an end. Of the eventual result there could, of course, b. ho doubt. After three months of individual sntferiog and general disturbance, after immense pecuniary loss and enor mousoperil,tesitan d i ng afofpererraht operatives consumption have esofar of co ( m )n e e quarter of a working -y ear in calla', commotion, and conflict, m ,he ou e in to the terms of their empl o y ers as to w i t hd raw t h e pretensions which occasioned th e di spute. The successive stages of the quarre l can h ar dl y have been yet forgotten. The "Amalg amate d S oc i ety " of Engineers—an association which h a d been consoli dating ce° dating its forces for the avowed purposes of aggression and dominion, commenced its emit operations on the 24th of last December by the service of, a circular notice requiring the several firms cf emplopers to abolish unconditionally, and without delay, the prac tices of overtime and piecework. The masters en countered the assault by closing their establishments, and proclairnieg that they would re-open them on no other condition than the withdrawal of this notice. The question then became a trial of endurance, pend ing which each party appealed to the public with an instinctive conviction that popular opinion would de cide :ha cause. • it is eioneeessary to add that the worlimen, thiough the . manifest guile and duplicity of their leeders, were promptly nonsuited in this open appeal. They feilo in enlisting any_ general sup port,j and the masters, .gaining boldness by' success, at length took a step in advance, and announced, that as an indileensable condition of future employment, every workman of every designation should sign a 't declaration" abjuring eltogether the euthority of vy. trade • soc)eti,s in the engagenn-iits .between toaster 'and - man. Oil • these principles . they re opened their stps, awed -to eaeh purpose hed them tiseasties hen taken that the: declartition has been signed by .uowards of 10,000 eperetivto e and at last the notice of the 24th et December bas, beten-0f11 7..... cial ly aid ra - wme • -- The “Efttlithro• fore, of " the Amelgaineted Society " has now done h hat, if it had done three mouths ego yrculd have terminated the dispute at once ; but other subjects of difference have since, been imported into the quarrel, and the original terms will perhaps no logger be available for scceprance. In the earnest desire to promote en effectual reconciliation, we offor our last remarks upon the bearings of this protracted struggle. To the opinions now sue:joined we anxiously hope that both parties will give a patient attention. The masters have publicly acknowledged our impartial maintenance of their cause, and, if the men will but remember our unfailing advocacy of their rights on all occasions of real oppression, they must, we are sure, give us credit for sincere goodwill. What we now state is the general sentiment of the country as to the faults on either side, and the duties on both. The employers may not improbably consider them selves placed by success beyond the necessity of con ciliation ; but this position, they should remember, does but qualify them for yielding with better grace and greater security, nor can they overlook the ex pedi,mcy of standing well in the eyes of the public, and placing their relations with their own workmen on a better footing than that cf coercion on one side, and forced submision on the other. The case of the oparatives, whatever might have been its merits, was utterly destroyed from the first by the agents who conducted it. As we explained at the commencement of the dispute, it became perfectly impossible for either the employers or the public to entertain the abstract questions of over time or piecework. The demands on these heads were put forward by men who avowedly only took them up as favourable points for breaking ground upon, and they were urged with the grossest and most unblushing mendacity. The society advocated their requisitions in the name of " the overworked labourer," whereas their own printed rules ac knowledged that overtime was looked upon as a " privileges," and that the reso:ntion to abolish it had originated purely in a desire to regulate the distribution of employment for the advantage of their own funds. Above all, they had placed them selves in the undeniable position of aggressors; they had confessed that other demands were in reserve, and they had proclaimed their intention of ultimately usurping the absolute dominion of the trade. These proceedings left but one course open to the employers. Considering the known constitution of the Amalgamated Society, its notorious designs, its published views, and its avowed objects in thus open ing the campaign, it became absolutely imperative on the masters to withstand its first demands, whatever foundation of reason they might happen to possess. other, might are w e nowtll future t litnthey What the particular notice contained was, in fact, of no consequence at all. They were to be resisted as notices served on employers by self•constituted autho rities pretending to " rule- the destinies of trade." These were the circumstances which farmed the strength of the masters' position, and secured the support of the public. It was necessary to exact the unconditional withdrawal of these notices, in order that the " Executive Council " might be compelled to nullify their own acts, end retire from their impudent pretensions: • This condition has now been fulfilled, and the AiLalgamated Society stands condemned to impotence and COM ic!ed of folly. Having thus expressed what we are sure, in respect of the employers' case, is the general persuasion of the public, we must now admit, on behalf of the men, that the practical abuses in regard to overtime and piecework have Len so fur shown to exist as to call, not indeed for that " immediate and total abolition" dictated by the " Council," but fur some remedy at the masters hands. We have repeatedly acknow ledged that the practices in question contained obvi ous temptations to abuse, and that if the requirements of the men had found expression otherwise than through a society which was hypocritically trading of others for objects of its own have • been differently shown. To frame a code of rules . for •uture proceed. ings might not be easy—the case, as Lord Cranworth bserved, being removed from the scope of practical of their men. t u h p e o no opinion o n n o o ni f p t l h a , i ai t ts s h countrytehae c mastersh organized p u r t esumption of the might satisfy the demands of justice by such a declaration of their views respecting overtime and piecework as a T r h b e itr fo a l t l i y on sod b " Council" con sisted in their peremptory dictation of impossible communication es ti ' terms ; but, though these were not less rightfully than successfully rejected, common • t . jai ice suggests that what was true in the remonstrance should not be disregarded. Finally, we think that since c i e ty has been driven to public self-conviction and exposure, the employers may • permit their own com bination to become extinct in its turn. They will no doubt ask what s ecurity _ will then be retai ne d against the revival of fir. W. Newton's follies, just as the men will inquire how they are to be protected against the abuses of • piecework, in default of a binding com pact to this . effec t We answer, that obligatory sti pulations are as im • practicable on one side as on the other, and that the only effective influence surviving the dispute must be derived from the experience which each party will have acquired. The society will have discovered its own impotence to subvert natural laws, or " rule the destinies of trade," and will have learnt that, convicted by public opinion, and destitute of popular support, designs of similar aggression must always miscarry. The masters will have seen that opinion went against their assailants from the mani fest duplicity of their devices, but that abuses, if per sisted in, will infallibly provoke a costly strife, and, if denounced with more sincerity than Mr. Newton could furnish to the cause, may some day bring serious retribution. TO THE EDITOZ OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l am requested to solicit the favour of the publicity of your columns to the enclosed return. I take the opportunity of the same medium to in form the body of operative engineers, with reference to a communication received by several members of this committee from the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society, that it is the firm and unani mous determination of the members of this association to require from all persons desiring to be engaged in their establishments signatures to the declaration, as es sential to their own protection, and an act ofjustica to those who have already signed it. As a proof of the spirit which still actuates many of those who have rendered the institution of this ass n o elation necessary, I have only, in conclusion, to tubers' to the following demands made by the Iron-in t o: 11 Society on the Ist instant to the Mano to s e resunv, em ployers, as the condition of their consen t their avocations : " 1. The withdrawal of the iron-loouders. declaratio n from the i; 2 The discharge of the individuals who have subscribed the same." in other words, our members are required to andde_ well disposed workmen of th e prive peaceable means of subsistence, f o r the offence of h av i ng sup ported their eff ort s to y e w t n h a i la c h a . p t a h t r e employer s and toytnem ployed from aea obedience to ruin both.

SPIRIT of, the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—We have already expressed, on more than one occasion, the deep regret with which the public in this country has learnt the frightful cost ofl life at which the'reduction of Lagos was effected in the month of December-last by her Majesty's forces on the West Coast of Africa ; and we have shown from the papers recently laid. before Parliament that a more brutal and degraded race of savages are not now to be met with on theface of the earth than the King of Dahomey and his slave-hunting subjects, to whom nevertheless the British Government has more than once dondseenoled, within the last few years, to address a dispatch and t o a ccre dit an agen t. Lieute nant Forbea's journal of his mission to Dahomey, in May, 1850, when he witnessed what are termed the " customs" of that kingdom, is certainly one of the most extraordinary narratives we ever met with, and the results of this mission may be judged of by the fact that eleven human victims were butchered by way of sacrifice almost under the eyes of the British officers, who succeeded hobeivieg• off, for one hundred dollars, three of the miserable beings deetinsd for this slaughter. - But, to give a more complete view of the policy, which led - to -the gallant attack of the British forces on Lagos, and of the results to be anticipated from the succCss of that achievement; it is due to the officers who conducted that enterprise to describe somewhat more _tally their objects and their motives: The labours of-the,Church Missionary Society ton eleeweet coast of Africa enabled-the chief promoters of that association to •demonstrate to the Government that on the frontiera of Dahomey, and within reach of the attacks of its savage ruler, there exists a people inhabitifig the Egba province of the Aorula kingdom, who are in all respects the opposite of their ferocious neighbours. Their chief town, called Abbeokute,conteins 50,000'inhabitents; and is situated on the river Ogu, which is navigable for about 50 miles down to the sea at the island of Lagos. Their markets are frequented by traders from the Niger and the interior of Africa. These Yoruba chiefs are entirely opposed to the • slave trade, and they live in constant dread of the slave hunts and hostilities of their slave-dealing neighbours. It is a very remarkable circumstance that several hundred liberated Africans had found their way in vessels, procured and freighted by themselves, from Sierra Leone to Badagry and Abbeokuta ; and the English missionaries have un doubtedly succeeded in establishing there one of the most successful missions we yet possess on the Guinea coast. But, on the other hand, Lagos, which commands the mouth of the river Ogu and the trade of Abbeokuta, was in the hands of a slave-trading chief, Kosoko, who had driven his relative, Akitoye, from the throne; and the King of Dahomey, jealous of the trade and independence of Abbeokuta ; had re peatedly declared his intention to make war upon it and to destroy it. These threats were soon realised. In March, 1851, the King of Dahomey marched against Abbeokuta to exterminate the British mis sionaries, and to reduce the black population to slavery. A severe action was fought under the walls of the town, and in the presence of the Dig fish residents. The Dahoineane Were defeated, and on the next day no less than 1,209 of their warriors were found dead upon the field. This abortive attempt was followed by other hostilities between the tribes in volved in this interminable African quarrel, Which placed the British residents and traders on the coast' in considerable peril, as Kosoko, the Chief of Lagos, was known to be advancing to attack that settlement; and it became apparent that the safety both or the missionaries, the traders, and th© liberated Africans in these free districts, depended entirely on the restraint which could be put upon the hostile operations of the Chief of Lagos. There- seems reason to believe that these operations were the result of a preconcerted scheme, arranged and assisted by the Brazilian slave-dealers, between the King of Da homey and the slave-trading chiefs of the coast. Upon the receipt of this information in September last, Lord Palmerston ordered Whydah, which is the principal port of Dahomey, to be strictly blockaded, and the Commodore on the station was instructed to consider the practicability, of. sending a small force into Lagos for the purpose of expelling the then chief and the slave-dealers by whom he was supported, and of re-establishing in his istead Akitoye, the former chief; who was driven out by the slave-dealers on account of his hostility to the slave trade. If these erdere could be executed,;Lord Palmerston added that Lagos might become an important outlet for the commerce of the interior, and a diffusing centre of civilization, instead of a den of barbarism. Before, however, the formal instructions to commence these operations had reached the coast of Africa, Mr. Consul Beecroft had in some degree anticipated their tenour. He arrived off Lagos in her Majesty's steamer Blood hound on the 13th of November, and opened a negotiation with Kosoko, then Chief of Lagos, to induce him to renounce the slave trade. With more zeal than discretion, and without waiting for the orders of the Commodore, the Consul, accom panied by Commander Wilmot and two other officers, went up the river to confer wi th th is hostile chief. ? The proposed terms were rejected, and as forts opened their fire - on the boats sailing under a flag of truce, it was resolved that a somewhat precipitate attack should be made on the position. • The Bloodhound unluckily ran aground; the fire from the mud forts and stockades was more severe than bad been antici pated ; the defence was skilfully conducted. by about 5,000 men against a party of 160 or 180, who had been landed, and it was found necessary to recall the forces, with a loss of two officers killed and ten seamen wounded, after firing a part of the town. The conduct of Mr.' Beeciiift in this affair was not approved either by' . the Commodore, who arrived on the coast a few' days afterwards, or by her Majesty's Government, and it was distinctly censured in a dispatch of Earl Granville of the 24th of January ; though no, reflection can be cast on the gallant, though unavailing courage, dis played by the crews of the Bloodhound and the Har lequin in this attempt. But this failure, and the in structions which shortly afterwards arrived from the Admiralty, rendered it ioeUmberit . on Comnuidore Bruce to take the earliest opportunity of inflicting summary retribution on the Chief of Lagos ; and in less than a month after the first attack by the Blood hound this refractory chief was assailed by a strong . and well-organized force, w hich led to the action of the 24th and 26th of December, the details of which have already been placed,before our readers. A more desperate engagenient has never been fought, for, as the Commodore states in his dispatch, " our people : could expect no quarter; • nor did' they get any. When the Teazer had unfortunately run ashore in a position that exposed her to be destroyed by the enemy's guns, Captain Lyster made an heroic rush into the midst of the armed - hosts on shore, at the, head of his undaunted 'crew, spiked the guns, and turned on that point the fortune of the day. But the loss of life must ever make the reduction of Lagos one of the most dearly won triumphs of the- British navy. The treaty which was concluded a few days later with the-restored chief of Lagos, Akitoye, pro hibits the slave trade, expels the slave-dealers, secures freedom of trade, puts down human sacrifices, and protects the propagation of Christianity. If these objects are really obtained, and if the territory of Abbeokuta proves to be what it is represented by the missionaries, a city of peace, of commerce, and in Part of Christianity, an important step may have been made towards the improvement of Africa: but we confess we look with little confidence on engagements extorted from the barbarous chiefs of the African coast; and the interests of humtmity we have under ' taken to defend at so large an expenditure of British life and valour are still surrounded and menaced by the worst passions of a ferocious population of heathens, who have learnt nothing from civilization but increased sensuality, inflamed avarice, and im proved methods of destruction. ADVERTISER.—THE Mellor or LONDON AND THE REV. MR. GLADSTONE.—The metropolitan pre latic plot thickens. The troubles of . the Lord of Lon don House increase and multiply. Charles James seems born to be unfortunate. One mishap follows another in such rapid succession, that it is no easy task for the public journalist to keep abreast with The nia n ded t h them'.

Glad stone, instead of showing the slightest indication of a disposition to shrink from the conflict, appears to take greater courage as it proceeds, and to feel more coo fident of an eventual triumph. Little did the Bishop of London imagine, when he first resorted to the rigours of prelatic authority against a comparatively unknown individual, filling a very h um b le pos i t i on i n the Church, and content, had he been permitted, to have lived and died unnoticed and unknown, the laborious pastor of an attached flock—that the very man whom he, doubtless, fancied he could ecclesiastically extin guish by the breath of his prelatic mouth, should, in the .brief space of a few months, be transformed into one of the most formid opponents with whom his Lord s hi p h ad ever come into collision. Yet so it is. Mr. Gladstone has already swelled into colossal dim ens i ons as the antagon i st o f Lon don's Bishop. A n d no one who has attent i ve l y watched the prog ress of the combat can bare the slightest doubt th a t, whatever may be the issue o f t h e suit in the Eccl es i ast i cal Courts, Mr. Gladstone is destined to come o ff v i ctorious in u moral an d reli gious sense. Dr. Blotritield hitnself must have a pre sentiment of the discomfiture, in the latter respect, which is in reserve f or hi m. It seems as if Provi dence had specially raised up Mr. Gladstone to de stroy the system of ec c l es i ast i cal e espe a.m which exists, with the sanction of the Anglican Church, in prelatic places. The assumption and exercise of a tyrannical authority, on the art of the dignitaries of p the Church, have done and are doing incalculable damage to the Episcopal E sta b l i shment, an d if not checked, will most surely bring down the great ecclesiastical: edifice about the ears of the Bishop, and.of all who belong to the Chum,. In the mean time, it is gleatifYluffetc find . 0-0.4-N4 gontefigh‘ - which Mr. Gladstone is so nobly fighting, he is daily and hourly receiving the most unmistakable proofs of the profound sympathy o f all reli gious denominations. And never was man, more worthy of the public regard. Few men would have had the courage to confront alone and unai led— which was the case in the first instance—the formid able resources for crushing an opponent, possessed by the Bishop of London. And let it never be forgotten that the Rev. Gentleman entered the arena at a mo ment when he had no voice to cheer him—no coun tenance to smile upon him. Nay, more—the few tkroupoowliitnagn the disposition Prelate to crush i ncurred his ecclesiastical him to succumb to That under circum stances so unfavourable and so disc ourag i ng M r .

Gentleman. That he has never hesitated or faltered in the course of conduct which he determined to pursue, can only be ascribed to the fact that the needful courage and strength have been imparted to him from a celestial source. Nor can we doubt that, continuing to derive the needed resolution and strength from the same divine source, he will go on till the end, not only with unshaken increasing resolution. will next hourly s Court, ar into which he has e resolution. w c: ie u re. r k ag a e p , p but ea Gladstone,r in with atsh eoauArches d, been dragged by the Bishop of London. N ee d we say that at such a crisis in the Rev. Gentleman's con flict with all the resources, pecuniary as well as pre latic, of Fulham House, he not only needs the sym pathy, but the aid of all who admire the strenuous stand which he is making for the rights of conscience, and on behalf of the cause of civil and religious li berty ?, Let it not be forgotten, that though Mr. Gladstone pleads his own cause in person, a very considerable amount of expenses must necessarily be incurred in his defence. Nor must the great fact be overlooked that, the metropolitan , prelate has an income from 30,0001. to 40,000/. a year, while Mr. Gladstone's does not exceed 2001. to 250/. These are mighty odds, so far as pecuniary considerations are concerned, against the reverend gentleman. It is for the public to, place Mr. Gladstone in a more favourable position so far as the pecuniary weapons of his warfare are concerned. We are sure we have but to state the posture of affairs to insure a ready response tot our appeal on his behalf. Let him not fight the great battle at a disadvantage, for want of 2001. or 3001. That sum could soon be raised. A commencement has already been made. Let the work which has been begun be followed up. A committee has been appointed to receive subscrip tions, whose characters afford a sufficient guarantee for the judicious as well as faithful application of the funds which may be collected for behoof of the Rev. Gentleman. We trust that, before many days elapse, it will be our pleasing duty to record the re ceipt of liberal subscriptions to the Gladstone Fund. It is for no sectarian or party purpose that the appeal is made to the assistance of those who sympathise with the Rev. Gentleman. Churchmen and Dis senters must feel an equal interest in the progress and termination of the struggle now going on be tween. Mr. Gladstone and the Metropolitan Prelate. And not they only, but the friends of civil and reli gious liberty—all who are opponents of ecclesiastical oppression, even where they do not range themselves under the banner of any sect or denomination what ever. Wherever freedom of conscience is respected — wherever people contend for the right of independent thought and action in all matters which especially lie between man and his Maker,—there we confidently expect a prompt and congenial response to our appeal for pecuniary assistance to Mr. Gladstone, in the Rev. Gentleman's heroic conflict with the Lord of London House. JOSEPH CARTIVRIciHr BRETTELL, Secretary. THE A RfaY.

One of the crimes committed in connexion with the insurrection of December, in the provinces, which created most sensation, was, it may be remembered, the murder of a woman named Richer, of Valence, by her son, for political motives. This man was tried two days ago by a court-martial at Lyons. It was proved that he was a drunken and dissolute fellow, and that he had been admitted to the secret political society called the Jeune Montague. He had fre quently threatened his mo her to kill her if she ever revealed his connexion with the society. On returning home at a late hour in the night of the 6th of Decem ber he went into his mother's room and seated himself on her bed. She told him to go to bed, but he remained in the room until about three o'clock. He then told her that that was the hour at which the Presently but Would insurrection was to break out, and prepared to leave, but she prevented him. An hour after he heard cries in the street, and said, " There—the insurrection has begu n ." But his mother said, " Stop at home, my dear Benjamin ; it will cause me too much pain if you go away. " He, however, went out, and on his return found his mother weeping. But, according to his own asccount, be fancied that her tears were hypocritical. Opw l r i e e as s e a d ilt os him that he would do well to mind his n business, and not meddle with politics, and on her recommendation he went into his bedroom, to mn ok him up some milk, and earnestly rn to take it; and at the same time she told him i; t h a t , s he Would not allow him to join the insur rection, fasten him up in his room.

A few minutes before six o'clock, A.M., 011 Saturday, the 3d inst., a slight shock of an earthquake was felt in this locality. Many residents at Cliftm, Cotham, and Kings down, as well as in the city (Bristol) were surprised at the shaking of their houses in so unusual a wanner, and in eon.- sequaace some little alarm was caused among timid persons, but as there was no recurrence of 'the shock all fear was speedily dissipated. The shock was felt not only at Bristol and vicinity, but at Wells and Cheddar. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, APRIL 2.—The only naval movement is the deparpre of the Scourge steam frigate on Satur day last for Corfu, whence she would, it is said, pro ceed to Constantinople, to be placed at the disposal of Sir S. Canning. Oa Wednesday last the troops in garrison were brigaded on the Florian parade ground, but owing to its small size, no evolutions of any importance were performed. The Artillery, Sappers, 3d Regiment, 68th Regi ment, and Fencibles took part in the exercise. We cannot help mentioning here the great good accomplished by General Ellice in repairing, or ra ther entirely remaking, the parade ground. It was formerly an unsightly, rugged piece of ground ; now it is perfectly regular, so far as it is completed (the larger half). The General, seeing what loss of time would ensue in applying to the engineer (civil) de department of Government for effecting his wishes, resolved on — commencing it himself, and, having done so, has continued it. The outlay for carting, building, rubbish, &c., up to the present time, is nearly 2001. When finished it will be well worth the outlay. _ _ _ The I"enin-ular and Oriental Company's steamer Bentinck arrived on Monday last, as did the Banshee, from Marseilles. Dates 20th and 24th March respec tively. The two vessels made splendid passages. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—We are gratified to an nounce that the proposition made by the Commander in-Chief to the officers and ships' companies of her Majesty's ships and vessels at Spithead and in this harbour, to contribute one day's pay each towards a fund for the re' ief of the distresses of those left desti tute by the loss of relatives in the Birkenhead, has been met in the best possible spirit, the desire to con tribute being unanimous.

A very singular case has lately occupied the Court of Assizes in Paris. A Prussian medical man, named Wiecsecke, was indicted for fraudulent bankruptcy-- he having as alleged started an establishment for making coffee-pots and a peculiar description of coffee, run deep into debt, and then sold off or se creted his furniture and effects, in order to defraud his creditors. But, as the " Doctor " was also a noted professor of the mystery of animal magnetism, a mass of very curious evidence having no direct connexion with the case was given, for the purpose of showing his real character. It appeared that he came to Paris in 1833, and in 1835 obtained authorization to act as a physician.* In 1842 that permission was withdrawn, but he continued to assume the character, and to act es a medical man. In that year, he made the ac quaintance of a retired tradesman rosined Mama. This person was made to believe that the prisoner W9S not only a physician of extraordinary power, but a chosen agent of God ; and he gave him a sum of 8,000 f., and subsequently different sums, his plate, watches, jewels, &c. Although it was understood that the prisoner was to restore these things when called on, he, on different pretexts, ne glected to give•Marcoux any written acknowledgment for them. Under pretence of being au angel or, earth, he compelled Marcoux to pray several times a day, and gained such a complete influence - over bho that he made him do all he warted, and give up all he had. Amongat other things, he fold him that a treasure was buried in his garden ; but., when the garden was dug up, none was found. When et length Mareoweheid —re tato n te;eifipect t he'in a i honesty, he &mended a written acknowtedgmenr for his money and effects; but the prisoner °illy gave a few vague lines, and stated that his "goad angel" had forbidden him to give more. Such was the power of the prisoner over the unfortunate dupe, that, even before the Court, Mercoux did not dare to look him in the face, and humbly assured hire, "in the presence of God," that in giving his evi dence he was not actuated by aenthnents of ani mosity. After Marconi had concluded his testimony, a female, named Cdleste Vallet, was called to give evidence. She was in custody, heving been arrested on the charge of being concerned in certain acts of swindling, for which the prisoner is to be hereafter tried. She stated that she had been presented by her sister to " the Doctor," and that, having ascertained that she possessed extraordinary lucidity as a mag netic subject, he persuaded her to go and live in his answered.,lfl were house. She aft e r s ome h es it a ti on consen t e d, a n d fr o m that tim e f or s i x years s h e d ec l are d t h at s h e h a d not , "Oh! w h a t would that do !" she had an hou r ' s lib er t y — t h at s h e was comp l ete l y suh jugated. " A n d even now" she cried with extraor dinary a g it at i on, " I feel his influence extending over one —but I have , atalisman at h ir t h t e y r e leagues'?' ' and ishedn convulsively a small white stone. " If the look of the prisoner aff ects y ou ," said the Preside n t, " remove to another place.' his power over me would b e t h e same. When I was in my cell at St. Lazare I felt it, and even on thinking of st pressed distance a him, I trembled, and all my senses became agitated !" The witness then said that when she first went to live in the prisoner's house, he used to talk to her or death, and of the immortality of the soul, and com pelled her to read the Bible for hours together. He made her pass whole nights without sleep, and she was in a sort of extacy, caused by his having mixed some peculiar substance in her drink. On other oc casions after drinking liquors prepared by him she was seized with vertigo, her hair stood stiff on her head, her eyes filled with tears, and her lips like stone. "Oh," exclaimed the woman, "I suffered hor rible tortures ! " She then said that the object of the prisoner in treating her in this way was to make her a source of profit, by giving medical consultations ; but he never gave her a farthing, and embezzled her own furniture and effects. He persuaded her that her singular magnetic powers were given to her b 3 God, and that it would be impious for her to make money by them ; also, that it was by order of St. John the Baptist that he had disposed of her furni ture. He made her clean the house, as well as give medical advice ; and, when worn out by fatigue, she demanded repose, he ill-treated her, and made her drink potions. Oa such occasions he said that if she resisted him, she would be cursed of God, driven from God's bosom, be interdicted access to God's gar den, and be so afflicted with the itch that any one approaching her, would - catch it. Her belief was that the doctor bad gelded the enormous sum of 700,000 f. by her. He converted her from the Catholic to the Protestant religion, by causing a voice to cry to her when she thought herself quite alone, " Calvenist ! Calvanist !" When she was in a state of agitation caused by his potions, he used to make phantoms appear which terrified her exceedingly. The pre scriptions she gave, under the prisoner's direction, to the persons who consulted her, were drawn up in the name of " the good Angel," or " St. John the Bap tist," or the " well beloved of God. It was next proved that a Madame Verdys, who had possessed consi derable property, had gone to live in the prisoner's house, and had been defrauded by him out of a for tune of nearly 300,000 f. By his recommendation she had also been induced to advance the pretended Duke de Normandie, who called him self Louis XVII, about 50,000 f. All this she had done, she stated, in obedience to letters from the good Angel, St. John the Baptist, and the Saviour, which had been presented to her by the prisoner. But, notwithstanding she had been reduced to poverty by him, she declared that her confidence in him was undiminished. She admitted that she had written letters of a very amorous cha racter to him. He had other "magnetic subjects' . besides Vallet; bat they were too prudent to let him victimise them so completely. When the magnetising business began to fail, he invented a new species of coffee, which he called, " Coffee of the Angel Blanche," the secret of making which had, he alleged, been mi raculously revealed to him. A great number of wit nesses proved that in his capacity of trader he had not paid his debts, and that he had sold or sent off his furniture and goods. A number of boxes containing property had, it was stated, been seized in a waggon establishment; they bore his address, and were evi dently intended to be sent out of the country. The counsel for the defendant having addressed the jury, and been replied to by the advocate-general, the jury deliberated and returned a verdict of Guilty, with e x ; tenuating circumstances. The Court sentenced Wiecseke to six years' imprisonment. sec retary to rl M.

Her medical attendant informed her that there was no chance of cure, and it would be necessary to amputate the limb. This opinion not satisfying her, she commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills in good earnest, and by God's blessing they have been the means of effecting a perfect cure, and she has resumed her former situation.—Sold by all Drug gists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
