MONEY and COMMERCIAL CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was stesdy. Sales, 4,000 bales. Railway Shares wet e very quiet, and prices wet e ratner lower again. There are no arrivals with late intelligence of it,- erest from the colones or other parts, and the Coat:- Lentil advices are not important. The Money Market is easy, and the payment of divi di nds next week at the Bank of England will add fur tt er to the amount in circulation. Business does not ab ie.rb much at present. The private meeting of the railway . directors, Messrs. Glyn, Russell, and Chaplin, is exciting considerable at teation, and is much talked of, but the statements abroad are, for the most part, simply conjectural. The general intention, it is pretty well understood, is to promote harmony and economy, and these will be material ob jects gained. The Timber Market is very dull at present, and so far particularly unfavourable for the colonists. The reports received relative to the probable vintage of this year abroad are generally satisfactory, and upon the dried Fruit trade in London we may give the fol lowing:— " There is every reason to expect that if there be an adequate supply, and prices continue moderate, the con sumption of Raisins will this season exceed that of the last ; although at least a month's consumption was lost at the early part of last season by the high opening price of 505., yet nearly 4,000 tons of raisins of all kinds were cleared here for consumption between the • middle of September and Christmas, or 700 tons more than the total quantity of Valentias received at this port during the season just closed. It is not likely that Turkey fruit can arrive here in any quantity till the middle or end of November, and as there is no old fruit whatever to fall back upon the London importers, considering especially the excel lent keeping quality of this year's fruit, do not seem disposed to follow the example of Liverpool in realizing their fruit at so great a sacrifice in price. " The clearances at this port for home consumption have lately fallen off considerably, having been only 370 tons from 22d ult. to the 19th inst., against 770 tons in 1847, 230 tons in 1846 (the stock was then ex hausted), and 410 tons in 1845. We have, however, again to report an increase, though slight, in those of Liverpool, from which fact we may infer, that the condition of the operative classes in the manu facturing districts is improving, and that the consump tion of the United Kingdom which, by the last Govern ment returns, had, during the first seven months of this year, exceeded that of " the same period of 1847, by no less than 2,400 tons, is likely progressively to in crease. The falling in the consumption of Currants last year occurred during the period wherein it has so de cidedly increased this year." The English Stock Market has been flat again this morning. Consols have been 854 to 86 for Transfer, and 86 to for Account. Exchequer-bills 295. to 325. premium. India Stock, 236. Foreign Stocks are quiet, but firm. Spanish Five per Cents., 11 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 23 to 24; Mexican, 171 to i; Brazilian, 7 4 to 76 ; and Dutch Two-and-a. half per Cents., 44i to 454.

CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF CUFFEY, LACY, AND FAY. Mr Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Williams took their seats on the bench at ten o'clock. The examination of Daniel Burn was resJmed. He said between ten and eleven o'clock one night at the end of April, or the beginning of May, Powell showed him two pistols in the street. He asked him if he (a itness) was prepared: he was continually asking him the ques tion. He said (speaking of the pistols), " These are the things to do for them (the police). I wish to see some good fires in London." Saw Powell at the Milton-stre et Theatre on the 28th of July.:and thinking he was a dan gerous man he cautioned Mullins and others. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY.GENERAL—Was opposed to violence. Was at the Kennington-common meeting. There saw two persons give up their arms to parties in the van, because it was understood that no one was to go armed. Was at the Clerkenwell meeting. Did not go in the procession which started from that meeting, but saw the procession walk round Finsbury square. Did not walk with it. Had belonged to the Dean-street district, but had no class leader over him. Was now an unenrolled. Did not go to Kennington common again, and would not go again to any Chartist meeting there, because on the 10th he was stopped at Blackfriars bridge, on his way home, and then found that he and the other Chartists had been caught in a trap. Wm. Gardener, a carpenter, living at Hoxton, was next called—He said he was not a Chartist. Knew Powell. Had known him whilst at Mr. Smith's, six or seven years ago. Should certainly not believe him on his oath. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Had heard him deny the existence of a future state, saying the whole story was a tissue of falsehoods. He appeared well read in the Scriptures. Knew Powell by the sobri quet of " Lying Tom." Had heard him called " Lying Tom" to his face by a lad called " Jack." Henry Watson, bricklayer, deposed that he had known Powell from his boyhood, and was at school with him. From what he knew of him he would not believe him on his oath. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Had heard him say that he wished he could drag his old father out of his grave and strew his bones about the street, for not leaving him some money. Had heard him say that Lord John Russell and the Duke of Wellington were dead. Once he told., a woman that a Mr. Daniels had dropped down dead. He after wards said to witness, " Oh, won't his old woman be in a way when she is told of it."—(Laughter.) Once asked him if he was going to the meeting at Kenning ton-common, telling him at the same time that he was. Witness said he was not. Powell replied, " Then you are not a man—l am going armed. Get an old knife and grind it, and stick into the belly of the first police man that interferes with you—he will not annoy you again." Charles Goodfellow, a tailor, working in Love-court, Old Jewry, deposed that he was a Chartist, but had not been connected with any Chartist associations for more than five years. Recollected seeing Powell during the Chartist agitation in 1839. Saw him on the 15th of August at the Coach and Horses, Holborn. He and another man came in whilst 1 was sitting there. He nodded to me, and then came across and inquired, " Ilave you any work now?" Witness said, " No, he had not." He said he wanted some clothes made, as he and another man were going to Australia. He gave him 2s. 6d., and engaged him to come and measure him, and to receive the money for the cloth at the Orange Tree, the next evening between five and six o'clock, the night the arrests took place. %Vent there at half-past five. Saw the police running across Red Lion-square. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Did not go in, because the police got in before him, and closed the door. Powell had not appointed to meet him outside, but inside. Went to a public meeting in Dean. street, and from what he ascertained there, he became convinced that Powell had laid this trap for him. When he went home he wrote a letter, which he had since destroyed, stating why he went to the Orange Tree, in case he should be arrested, and in order to show that he was convinced. Saw Coffey outside the meeting in Dean-street on the 16th. Did not see him lock the door Did not speak to him. At a meeting at Cart wright's, three weeks before the arrests, he got up, and asked if their objects were peaceable and constitutional, and he was immediately cried down by Powell and some others, who acted with him. Powell said he was a " moral-force coward." William John Garrett, a shoemaker, said that he was a Chartist. Proved that a man named Barrett had showed him two pistols, and that ho had been engaged in making ball-cartridges all day. In cross-axamination the witness admitted having been at Kennington-common on the 10th of April, and going in procession from Holborn. The name of his class leader was Taprell. He had before that read bills, stat ing that walking in procession through the streets was unlawful. The police prevented him and some friends passing over Westminster-bridge. A person named Savage was also a class leader. Davis, the third approver, was here re-called. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) Lord and Lady John Russell and family left M`Dunald's Star Hotel, George-square, Glasgow, yes terday forenoon, for Greenock, airoute to visit his Grace the Duke of Argyle, at Inverary Castle. Afterwards, we believe, his Lordship's intention is to visit Loch Lomond and LochjKatrine. Our correspondent sends us the following, dated Greenock, September 2 6:—" Lord John Russel - I, with his lady and family, arrived here by train at eleven o'clock this forenoon, from Glasgow, and immediately proceeded to the Custom-house quay, where the Banshee was lying, and went on board. There was a large crowd at the station waiting his arrival, and a slight cheer was given by a portion of them, whilst others, as he was walking down East Quay-lane, sa luted bim with groans. The noble party were very plainly attired; his Lordship appeared in good spirits, and walked about the quarter-deck of the steamer until she started, at a quarter to twelve. On leaving, a faint cheer was set up by the crowd who had assembled. The Banshee, we understand, proceeded to Inverary."—/Vort 4 British Mail of Wednesday. The dinner to Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier at Cheltenham is fixed for Thursday the sth of October. It will take place at the Queen's Hotel ; Lord Ellenborough officiating as chairman. We believe that from 80 to 100 gentlemen are expected to be present. Several of the Gallant General's companions in arms are now in Cheltenham. Among them may be mentioned Colonel Willie, his Adjutant-General; Major M`Murdo, his son-in-law, and Quartermaster-General, who was with him through all his Indian battles; Colonel Lloyd, who commanded his artillery; Major Leslie, commander of the Horse Artillery; Major Poole, of the gallant 22d Regiment, the regiment led by Napier himself into action; Captain Tait, commanding the Regular Horse; Colonel Harrison, who commanded the Light Company of the 50th (Sir Charles Napier's own regiment at the battle of Corunna); Captain Robertson, who served with him in the Peninsula and in America; and Colonel Clarke Kennedy, who so gallantly captared the French standard at Waterloo. This morning, Sir Charles Na pier and a large party of gentlemen breakfasted with the Earl of Ellenborough at Southall). We hear that Sir Charles has taken No. 1, Wolseley-terrace, for his residence.—Cheltenham Chronicle. IN/VEST ON DR. NEsBITT, OF YEOVIL.—A Coroner's inquest has been held at Yeovil on the body Dr. Nesbitt, whose sudden death, and the fact that a Prussic acid bottle was found near his body, then caused the belief that he had destroyed himself. Since then a uost mortem examination has been made, and the prussic acid was found in his stomach. It was proved, however, that a bottle of ammonia was found beside the prussic acid bottle, ammonia being the most efficacious antidote to prussic acid. Some other bottles were also found dis placed in the surgery. A surgeon stated that prussic acid was sometimes taken in very small quantities as a narcotic. It also appeared from other evidence, that on the day previous to the morning when his body was found in his bed-room, he had been to a party. A very probable inference from these facts was, that, being some what excited, he had taken the poison as a sedative, when, finding he had taken too much, he endeavoured to stay the consequence by using the antidote, but when too late. The jury retired, and after a short absence handed in the following verdict :—" That deceased came by his death in consequence of taking prussic acid, but p r. otherwiseNesbtiht Nesbitt wasre i s a no doctorevi dwel e c t e h e b r e ftoarkee thetaken medicinallyjury to or prove. of medicine of the University of Glas g ow. THE INCREASED POLICE RATE.- - Yesterday after noon, at 3 o'clock, a deputation from the Marylebone Vestry, consisting of Messrs. Garnett, H. C. Wilson, Hakes, Potter, Nieholay, Lewis, and Michi e, accom p anied by Mr. Flood, the vestry clerk, waited upon the Police Commissioners iu Whitehall-place upon the subject a d t i t t e io n n d a e l d p b o y lic A e ir. f . o Ray, y of the recent i ncrease d d eman d on the metropolitan parishes in the c oun ty o f Middl ese x for the support of an ad t T he he receivero f commissioners, who werepolice rate, received the deput at i on i n th e mos t c ourteous manner. Mr. Garnett explained to the commissioners the awkward position in which the parishes of the metropolis were placed with respect to this increased demand. The case of the parish of Marylebone was precisely that of all the other parishes. After the re assessment of the county of Middlesex by the magis trates at an increase of 1,400,000/. over and above the old assessment, it would be remembered that the com misssioners had themselves declared that there was no necessity for such an increase for the support of the police, and that they would therefore be content with a rate of 6d. in the pound upon the old assessment. In order to legalize this proceeding, Sir George Grey had introduced a Bill into Parliament, and acting upon the faith of that Bill, and the letter from the Police Commissioners, dated the 3d of January last, Marylebone and the authorities of the other parishes had made a rate adequate only to meet the demands for police rate levied upon the old assessment, they therefore, until another rate could be made, had no funds at their disposal to enable them to meet this increased demand. Mr. Wilson observed, that the demand made upon the parish of Marylebone alone was 4,1141. more than the vestry had provided for; and it was impossible to pay that extra sum without snaking a supplementary rate, the inconvenience in col lecting which must be manifest to the commissioners, more especially when he informed them that, in conse quence of the vast amount of pauperism, the rates of the parish had had to be increased one-fourth, and that such a rate, owing to the prevailiag distress, was with much difficulty collected. Other members of the deputation having stated their views on tin? subject, the commis sioners admitted the unfortunate position in which the parishes were placed, at the same time they contends d that circumstances had become so altered as to render an increase of the police force necessary. They corrected an error which the Marylehone Vestry and the other parishes had fallen into, that in additi•on to every 6d. in the pound assessed on the parishes within the polic, district, they had 2d. in the pound from the Consoli • dated Fund. Such was not the fact. The sum allowtd from the Consolidated Fund being 60,000/. and no more. It was, therefore, an error to suppose the additional in crease would be 48,0001. Although time would be given they could hold out no hope of a remission of the demand. The deputation then retired. SUICIDE IN THE PUBLIC STREET.—Last night Mr. William Payne, the City coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of William Lockie, aged 72, a carpenter, of 12, Plough-court, Fetter lane, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the public street. Rebecca Seekings, of 24, Fetter-lane, said that on Friday night last, about eight o'clock, her attention was directed to the corner of New Victoria- street, Holborn, by hearing a noise like the discharge of fireworks, and upon looking in the direction, she saw the deceased lying on the ground, with a pistol at his side, and bleeding from his mouth. He was picked up, and conveyed to the above hospital. Mr. H. Skipper, of 20, Gray's-inn-lane, said that he had known the de, ceased about twenty years. He was very sober in his habits, and witness considered he was a man of strong mind. On Thursday last ho packed up his clothes in a parcel, which he took to the Parcels Delivery Company, directed to his brother in Scotland. On that day he told witness that he felt so ill, that be did not think any of his family would see him again alive. He had of late been very low spirited and unwell. Mr. Thomas Jackson, one of the house surgeons, proved the deceased expired on Wednesday last, from the effects of the in jury received. He found a ball at the base of the skull. —Verdict, " Temporary insanity." THE PLANET SATURN.—The planet Saturn may now be seen every evening about eight o'clock, nearly south-east, but as its distance from the sun is 906,000.000 of miles, it requires a telescope of not less than 250 power to observe it with any degree of accu racy. Its immense rings are now invisible, as they are supposed to be not more than 100 miles in thickness, the edge being now presented to our earth, but a broad shadow of the ring is distinctly seen across the planet; there are likewise several belts faintly seen towards the north and south pole. Several of its satellites may like wise be seen with a telescope of 250 power, particularly its largest moon, which is now very distinct. TItANSsHIPMENT OF MERCHANDIZE.—A communi cation, dated from the Spanish Consulate, London, 27th of September, 1848, has been made to the Secretary at Lloyd's, to the effect that the Spanish Government, in conformity with the opinion of the Sanitary Council, and of the Director-General of Customs and Tariffs, has been pleased to command that every vessel found in the same state as the brig Herby shall be permitted to transship the whole or part of her cargo, on condition that no mercantile transaction shall intervene in the process, and that the vessel shall be in an unfit state, through damages, to convey her cargo to the proper laszareta. According to a letter of the 16th from Breslau, for some time past large quantities of muskets have been conveyed by the railway from Liege, in Belgium, des tined for different parts of Hungary. The number which had already passed through Breslau is estimated at 30,000. Considerable quantities of scythes are also said to have been transported from the north of Silesia to Cracow, and other towns of Austrian Galicia. IRIDIUM ORE.—An importation having recently taken place, by a vessel from France, of iridium ore, a question has arisen as to its liability to duty, it having been retained by the officers of the revenue as liable to the rated duty as an extract, of ss. per lb. THE HERO or A HUNDRED STATUES.—Another statue of the Duke of Wellington is to be put up in the Tower, and in fact, London is becoming a sort of livery stable, where the Hero of Waterloo and his horse are being constantly put up. The Duke's head will soon be as familiar an object in the metropolis as the top of the monument or the dome of St. Paul's. The plume of his helmet has already begun to take its place among the established London weathercocks; and, as to his nose, there is scarcely a bridge on this side of Westminster that is half so conspicuous. There is hardly a street where the Duke of Wellington may not be seen looking in at the top windows, or inhaling the smoke from the chimneys, or preparing to take a gentle trot over the tiles. As to poor Nelson, the Duke of York, and the two or three others scattered about town, they are com pletely lost in the crowd of Dukes of Wellington, who are beginning almost to jostle each other at every turn. If we want a new site for a statue, we shall soon begin to find that " the Duke of Wellington's horse stops the way." For it must be remembered that the steed gene- rally shares with his master in this great game of tho roughfare cribbage, and that if the former needs one yard for his head, the other requires at least two for his heels.—Punch. . SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY.—Gross traffic receipts for the week ending the 23d instant:—Passengers, first class, 14,341; second class, 38,240; third class, 48,733; total, 101,314; amount, 8,4891. 6s. 7d.; carrying account, 2,3271. Os. 81; total, 10,8161. 7s. 3d. TAKE OF THE BIG SALMON.—One salmon, and seldom more than one, of extra large size, is usually taken every season by flyfishing in the river Ness. If the season is near a close before the looked-for great fish is taken, the anglers become not a little excited as to the one who is to have the luck to hook the large salmon. What makes the capture singular is, that this annual monarch of his tribe never varies i n weight more than a couple of pounds-251b. being the lightest and 271 b. the heaviest taken for a long time. Last Tuesday Mr. Bowyer Smyth landed the large salmon of this season from the Holm Pool, after twenty minutes strong play ; the dimensions were three feet two and-a-half inches in l engt h, g irth 221 inches, weight 261 b., a beautifully formed female fish. Six others were bagged by Mr. Smyth the same day, and in one of the upper pools Mr. W. Baillie, of Douchfour, caught a fine salmon weighing 181 b. Since the commencement ef the season the river has almost always been in the best condition for the angler, and the sport has almost uniformly been excellent.—Glasgow Herald. HORRIBLE BRUTALITY.--The Journal de Maine et Loire publishes the following act of savage barbarity, which would disgrace the most uncivilized nation:— " A horrible act has just been committed at Chou* on the banks of the Loire, which demonstrates, at the same time, the uncivilized state o f soc i e ty in certain districts of France, and what ferocity has been engendered by the incessant agitation of the Communists of Paris. Anlll- dressed man, speaking F renc h i m p e rfectly, was pass i ng through Chouze last w ee k. Th e inhabitants, who took him for an insurgent of June, surro unded and menaced him. Ile showed his passport,' in which he was stated to be a Pole. He endeavoured to explain, but nobody would listen to him. Ten or twelve men laid hold of him, and hung him by the heels to a gibbet, letting his head fall with violence on the ground during half an hour, vociferating loudly at the same time. The women, nor to be outdone, assembled, and after spitting on his face they tore out by the roots the hair of his head and of his beard, and having mixed it with some pomatum which the unfortunate man had in his pocket, they crammed it down his throat. The authorities at length interfered, but too late to sa ve hi s lif e , for the unfortu nate Pole, when he was conveyed to the ho s p ital of Chonit, immediately expi re d."

SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 21. —The board of directors of this railway had a meeting yesterday, and in the course of the day a deputation, consisting of T. H. Bulteel, Esq., W i l liam Burnell, Esq., and Mr. John Alger, three of the directors, waited upon the board of the South Devon directors, with the view of ascertaining if arrangements could be made for bringing a branch of the line to Sutton-pool at an ear l y period. The board said it was important that they should know whether the Sutton-pool Campany meant to deepen the pool at a part adjacent to the quay, so that ships may load and unload directly in connexion wish the railway. The deputation intimated that they believed the Sutton Harbour Company would be pre pared to adopt the measures necessary to bring about such an arrangement- The deputation then withdrew. We understand that the arrangements made for the goods traffic are acceptable to the trade of Plymouth generally, and that the terms, while fairly remunerative to the company, will be advantageous to those who use the line. FRIDAY EVEN . " NG, SEPTEMBER 29, MR, DEFENCE OF LAMARTINE. (Contirmcd from 7he Sun of Wednesday.) TENTII ACCUSATION. I have held relations with Sobrier, with Blangui with Cabet, with Ra.spail, with Barbes, with De Flotte (the naval lieutenant), and with several other men who have since been accused of conspiracy or of treason against the National Assembly. It is true. These relations which they have charged upon me as a crime, constitute, in fact, one of the principal titles through which I lay claim tc• the approbation of all good citizens, for having aided them, in this manner, with all my efforts, to traverse, without catastrophe, the most difficult and perilous days of a revolution. The explanation of those mysteries is discoverable in the date of the different occurrences. It is not since the meeting of the Na tional Assembly that I have had these interviews with the accused; it is during the first days which followed the Revolution of February; it is during those times, when there was no other authority at Paris except the individual authority of some men powerful in agitating, or in appeasing the multitude. I should have fallen short in all the duties which the extremity of circumstances imposed upon me, if I had neglected to see, and to influence in a loyal manner, through the medium of the most intimate political conversations, if I had failed to en deavour to rally around the honest, moderate, prac tical, and constitutional Republic, those men who were capable of aiding in its loss or in its salvation. I should wish, for the sake of these men, who were then well-intentioned, and for the sake also of my own character, that my accusers had been present at these interviews, and had listened to these conversa- tions. There was nothing in any one of them which was not in quittance of all their acts and of all their thoughts at the moment. These men aided, they did not impede, the action of the Government. The at tempts in which they have since been either impli cated or convicted, and their actual situation at the present moment as parties accused, will not render me unjust towards them. For the rest, behold the history of these relations, wholly unnatural though they may at the first moment appear. .1 had been fortunate enough to save the life of BAILEES under the last Government. The return of a favour like this to those who are absent is better than the remembrance of a life which has been saved, when that remembrance is numbered among the consolations of exile. On emerging from his prison Barbes at once came to me to offer an expression of his grati tude. I persuaded him to employ the authority which his long exile had given him over his party to restrain that party within the limits of a Republic which was in reality the organization and not the subversion of society. I found him ready to enter into these engagements. He, as well as Sobrier, displayed remarkable courage on the 17th of March at the Hotel de Ville. Subsequently Barbes began insensibly to alienate himself from me, and to with draw from any participation in my operations. He deserved at least to be regretted. DE FLOTTE and several of his friends possessed con siderable influence over the clubs. They sought at that time to avail themselves of the power arising from these reunions in order to protest against the convocation of the National Assembly. Then it was that I convinced the leaders of the clubs that the nation alone could impart strength to the Republic. I found more moderation among these men than their names would have led me to conjecture. RASPAIL addressed me in the language of one who was fascinated rather by theories than by sedition His opinions seemed to be conscientiously entertained. He endeavoured, in his journal and in his Club, to ameliorate the character of the Revolution, and the manners of the Republic. CADET I had known during a long period. His speculations were rather dreams than conspiracies. The forgetfulness which he has evinced in responding to a generous proceeding by an act of passion, shall not render me in return his accuser. He will labour in vain to deteriorate the soul of the people and to exasperate the Republic. BLANQUI came one morning to deliver himself up :o me voluntarily at the very time when it was pre tended that he was striving to compass my overthrow and my assassination. I then conversed with him jocosely; for I can never credit the notion of poignards creeping into the bands of those whose souls can wield the weapons of intellect. Blanqui inspired me with more interest than alarm. In him was re cognised one of those natures which are overcharged with the electricity of the times—men who experience a craving for ceaseless commotions, as the only means of acquiring consolation. He had the disease of revolutions. Of this fact he himself was perfectly conscious. His physiognomy was marked by the traces of prolonged sufferings, both moral and physical ; but those vestiges of misfortune bore the character of sadness rather than of evil passions. His manner of talking was peculiar for its delicacy. His spirit had considerable expansion. He seemed to ms like a man adrift in chaos, who appeared to be search' ing vigilantly for a gleam of light, or for a path along which he might grope his way across the vast ness of the surrounding confusion. Had I possessed the opportunity of seeing him more frequently, I should not have despaired of his becoming at last most useful to the well-being of the Republic. As it was, I only saw him once. In reference to SOBRIER, behold the occasion of our interview ! Among his acquaintances was a young man, whom I already k new to be a sincere Repub lican of the old school. This young man introduced Sobrier to me on the 27th of February. Sobrier claimed the office of the Prefecture of Police, in the name of the people, who, according to his ac- count, had nominated him to the discharge of those functions. I informed him that the Provisional Go. vernment had already selected another Republican, and that the Republic should not, for any reason whatever, commence its existence by giving itself to anarchy in naming two administrators to one branch of administration. Sobrier left me in dudgeon. Some time afterwards I learnt that he was a young man of an honourable family in Dauphine, the pos sessor of an ample fortune, which he employed in alleviating the miseries of his neighbourhood; that his head, heated with enthusiasm, was inflamed by all the winds of democracy ; that he associated and min gled together religious ideas and revolutionary ideas; that his political optimism rendered his ideas conta gious with the multitude ; that he excited the popu lace with facility, and that he unconsciously directed ,hem to evil. I desired to see him, and my wish was frequently gratified. He was the inspiration of a club, and the editor of a journal called the Commune de Paris. My ideas and my candour appeared to exercise a powerful attraction over his intellect. He laboured loyally and disinterestedly to propagate the regular Republic among his associates. He fought courageously against the dictatorship on the 17th of March, and declared himself definitively for the sovereignty of the National Assembly. " But, it is said, he afterwards opened at No. 16, in the Rue do I know not what den of armed demagogues, and you yourself caused him to be supplied with arms by was under the Minister of W ar. " This char g e, so of ten adduced against me, is altogether false. Behold the first sen tence of a note which Sobrier remitted to me when I was seated upon my bench in the National Assem dbilysc,uasts discussion very Citizenm o m e moment t c w o h n e s n s d t e e r search e , inhis as deposition, sisays a ltogetherh a t hefo a rw m a i r ss de ta d te t 2 o ne m nt e . t Bwoehhouldndedwr what n y the case ;" and he thereupon re coun t s i n th e compliance with a letter under y our s i gnature. Th i s c l e arest manner possible the means an d th e men t h roug h musket s fu was l l e r s t e aa and whose instrumentality he had obtained these two hundred muskets for the purpose, he said, of defend ing the Government against a Communist insurrec tion. About the same time I received from Vin cennes a copy of the Ministerial order in virtue of which these muskets were delivered to Sobrier—a document which showed that I was a total stranger to this deliverance of arms with which I am so severely reproached. Behold the document: — Direction of the Artillery of Paris. No. 378. Copy conformable to the order of Execution. Paris, the 14th April, 1848. My dear Commandant, In obedience to the Ministerial order of this day, you will cause to be transported during the ensuing night : 1 st. To the Prefecture of Police. 600 percussion guns i 3,030 packets of cartridges for percussion 1)135 of 0,0163 with capsules. 2d. To No. 16, Rue Rivoli, to be transmitted to Citizen Sobrier. 400 percussion guns ; 3,000 packets or cartridges for percussion guns, halls of 0,0163 with capsules. The Lieut.-Colonel, Director during the interim (Signed) C. LEJEUN E. These two pieces are now before the public. Never theless, if I have not this wrong upon my conscience, I might have acted thus with perfect innocence, and I will tell you wherefore : from the 24th of Feb ruary to the 16th of April we had no public force of a legal character to protect either order, the streets, or property. The Government—threatened con tinually, both in its individual and collective capacity , with risings, with manifestations, with imprison ments, and with assassinations—was compelled to employ, in the defence of its cause, forces, whether voluntary, personal, or even illegal. Each of us had his army of friends and of clients as they had of old in Rome during the times of the civil wars. On certain nights, and under certain circumstances, the Hotel of Foreign Affairs was transformed into a camp. In case of attack, Sobrier placed himself at the disposal of my political friends. He had, according to his own account, between five and six hundred men devoted to him, who would hasten to an appointed rendezvous at the first signal. We were then, be it remembered, in a state of legiti mate defence, for in our persons we defended both order and society. It is a good time truly to discover scruples as to the legality of placing a few arms at the disposal of citizens without title, when we had a dic tatorial Government, four hundred thousand men at the gates, and the law in our hands ! Some time previous to the election I ceased to have any further communication with Sobrier. He displayed in his journal the list of candidates adopted by the Reforine and the Luxembourg, from which catalogue my name was excluded, and which com prised only the workmen of the Luxembourg and some names of political men of another colour than mine. General Courtais afterwards came to inform me that Sobrier held an armed club in the Rue Rivoli, and he entreated me to use my former influence over him for the purpose of persuading him to dissolve this club, without which eventuality we should be compelled to disperse it by violence. I did as he desired. Sobrier, however, followed this advice too slowly. Since that occasion I have had no rela- don whatever with Sobrier. I learnt that hii name had become an object of exaggerated terror in Paris Until the morrow of the 16th of May I heard nothing further respecting him, when upon that occurrence he was conducted to Vincennes. Behold the whole of my complicity with Sobrier ! It is the complicity of reason with excess, of calmness in thought, with the whirl of opinions ! Many are astonished that I should have had inter views with men who appeared only yesterday from the midst of the public dangers, and who were then in some measure a means towards the restoration of safety and tranquillity. I reply as I have already re plied in the tribune of the National Assembly, al though in somewhat different language—" What! Citisens! You wish me to emerge from the volcanic crater of a revolution, and you do not wish me to have any contact with the lava ! How, let me ask you, could I, by any possibility, have directed it, if I hail not touched it ? And these men—they are the Revolution itself ! Have you forgotten that ?" COURT CIRCULAR.

A long list of entertainments is announced in the bills, and the price of admission is so moderate that the public may see Mr. Pell and his Africans, Juba, &c., Mr. Van Am laugh, and his lions, Mdlle. Macarte and her equestrian feats, the " Petite Ryan," and five juvenile dances in the ballet of Coquina, living statues from the antique by Mr. Day, fireworks. &c., for almost nothing. It is to be hoped that Mr. Wardell will be supported by public patronage as he has laboured most zealously for public amusement during a long, and for many weeks a most arduous season. The amusements at Vauxhall have never been better arranged than during the summer of this year, but the weather has been most unpropitious, and consequently the profits to the lessee have been far below what was expected. EXTENT Or TEE CIIEATION. — Our system, great and wonderful as it is, is a mere speck compared with the real extent of the creation. Satisfactory evidence exists, that every star which twinkles in the firmament is no other than a sun, a world of light surrounded by its own attendant planets, formed into a system similar to ours. Forty-five thousand such stars have been counted by the aid of the Ilerschelian telescope in so small Is part of the heavens, that, supposing this part to be sown no thicker than the rest, the same telescope would reach at least 75,000,000 in the whole sphere. By means of new improvements in the same optical instrument, they have been found to be numerous to a degree still more astonishing. Every one of these is, in my view, rationally concluded to be the sun and centre of a system of planetary worlds. Beyond this, I think it not at all improbable that were we transported to the most distant of the visible stars we should find there a firmament ex panding over our heads, studded in the same manner with stars innumerable. Nay, were we to repeat the same flight, and be again wafted through the same dis tance, it is not improbable that we should behold hold ln a new is repetition of the same sublimity and a 5 manner worlds innumerable,immensity* s s t , i i t n u t a i h s g e n the, e , to b h hu e n p d ( l t e o s p s l e e d ni ss p i i with of Jehovah. Ilow amazing, then, must be the power and greatness of Him who not only " telleth the number of the stars, and calleth them by their names , " but with a word spoke them all i n t o b e i ng! The Chr Lista!' IT itness. CANAL AROUND THE FALLS OF ST. MART.—The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says that another effort is to be made for the construction of this great work, the connecting link in the navigation of the great chain of lakes. Mr. F e l c h , senator from Mich i gan , has sub mitted a report f rom t h e comm i ttee on p u blic lands, to NNllicti had been p rev i ous ly re f erre d a petition of B. Dibble, George C. Bates, and other citizens of Detroit, asking for the right of way and grant of land to aid in the construction of a ship canal around the falls, and the joint resol u ti ons o f th e Legislature of Michigan in rela tion to the same. The report recommends the cession of the right of way asked for, and the grant of 500,000 acres of land to aid in the construction of the canal. What action Congress will finally take upon this subject remains to be seen. This su b ject is of national import ance. A great trade is destined to come from Lake Supe rior, and the work should be commenced and completed with the least possible delay.
