"IleQtts influence ; and in weighing the subject of the destinies of this country in the aggregate, or in any of their multiform bearings, the standard to which we invariably defer is the kingdom at large, and the evil or good likely to be warded from, or re sult to it. In several instances the truthfulness of our decisions has been made manifest. On the subject of the war with China, on that of countervening the in trigues and stratagems of Russia, even to the verge of Central Asia, we have had the gratification of observing that the realisation of our views has been attended with the good we contemplated ; and our ad vocacy of those views was under circumstances when the natural champions of Lord Auckland's policy fal tered in its full espousal, and when its party adversa ries, viz., the Times, the Herald, and the Post, were as fierce in their opposition to it, as the fatal scenes of the Bala-Hissar might seem to render politic, how ever inherently unjustifiable. In fact, it gives us pleasure to retrace our own stern and undeviating consistency, amidst the lights and shadows giving an alternation of hue to the opinions in vogue around us, and we confess it was not without an irrepressible smile of sarcasm that, on the announcement of the all-important recent events in the East, we turned to the columns of those journals whose cry for so many months had been the iniquity of Affghan invasion, and the optum trade. to witness in what their satis faction could consist, or in what way they could con gratulate the nation upon its great successes. MONEY-TILADS-COMIVIERCE. At Bradford, Huddersfield, and Leeds, the markets have been dull and unfavourable, and at Rochdale there has been very little change. At Halifax and Oldham there has been an improved demand, and at Manchester a steady business. A new Corn-Exchange was opened on Wednesday last at Glasgow ; the building originated with parties connected With the corn-trade, who erected it by sub scription shares of 501. The hall is exceedingly spacious, with thirty-six stalls for the merchants, and a large grain-store beneath, capable of containing nearly 800 tons of grain. LITERARY AND sczmwrxric. The printing of the Hirschberg Bible, which is now proceeding at that town, consists of Luther's text, with annotations and comments of an evangelical character., It is the undertaking of the Countess von Reden ; the edition is to consist of 9,000 copies in large octavo, in one volume. The King of Prussia has subscribed for 6,000 copies, with the view of placing a copy in every school in Silesia and Pome rania. SPOILTING. On Friday last, the meeting of her Majesty's stag hounds was honoured by the presence of Prince George of Cambridge, who was up at the take of a very fine, deer. There are at present but two fixtures for this week, the one for to-day is Maidenhead, that for Wednesday Salt-hill. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Yesterday was the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge. The Duke of Wellington is expected to arrive this evening, or early to-morrow, at Apsley House, from Strathfieldsay e, to attend the Privy Council.

Secret Department, Simla, Oct. 1, 1842. The Government of India directed its army to pass the Indus in order to expel from Affgha nistan a Chief believed to be hostile to British interests, and to replace upon his throne a Sove reign represented to be friendly to those interests, and popular with his former subjects. The Chief believed to be hostile became a pri soner, and the Sovereign represented to be popular was replaced upon his throne ; but, after events which brought into question his fidelity to the Government by which he was restored, he lost by the hands of an assassin the throne he had only held amidst insurrections, and his death was preceded and followed by still existing anarchy. Disasters unparalleled in their extent, unless by the errors in which they originated, and by the treachery by which they were completed, have in one short campaign been avenged upon every scene of past misfortune ; and repeated victories in the field, and the capture of the cities and citadels of Ghumee and Caubul have again attacheil the opinion of invincibility to the Bri tish arms. . The British army in possession of Affghanistan will now he withdrawn to the Sutlej. The Governor-General will leave it to the Af ghans themselves to create a Government amidst the anarchy which is the consequence of their crimes. To force a Sovereign upon a reluctant people would be as inconsistent with the policy as it is with the principles of the .British Government, tending to place the arms and resources of that people at the disposal of the first invader, and to impose the burden of supporting a Sovereign without the prospect of benefit from his alliance. The Governor-General will 'willingly recognise any Government approved by the Affghans thernselves, which shall appear desirous and capable of maintaining friendly relations with neighbouring States. Content with the limits nature appears to have assigned to its empire, the GovernMent of India will devote all its efforts to the establishment and maintenance of general peace, to the protection of the Sovereigns and Chiefs its allies, and to the prosperity and happiness of its own faithful subjects. The rivers of the Punjaub and the Indus, and the mountainous passes and the barbarous tribes of Affghanistan, will be placed between the Bri tish army and an enemy approaching from the west, if indeed such an enemy there can be, and no longer between the army and its supplies. The enormous expenditure required for the support of a large force, in a false military posi tion, at a distance from its own frontier and t, resources, will no longer arrest every r.neasure for the improvement of the c9uPfr a ; and of the people. The combined arm . - s superior in of England and of India, east fr iment, in discipline, in valour, and tti tte officers by whom it is commanded, to any force which can be opposed to it in Asia, will stand in unassailable strength upon its own soil, and for ever, under the blessing of Provi dence, preserve the glorious empire it has won, in security and in honour. The Governor-General cannot fear the mis construction of his motives in thus frankly an nouncing to surrounding States the pacific and conservative policy of his Government. Affghanistan and China have seen at once the forces at his disposal, and the effect with which they can be applied. Sincerely attached to peace for the sake of the benefits it confers upon the people, the Governor- General is resolved that peace shall be observed, and will put forth the whole power of the British Government to coerce the State by which itshall be infringed. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor- General of India, T. IL MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. cum ? )4, 41 ' The st ..„01)ert Peel u Tt• Xiornely, P 1( ding sc ett plot Serop was the n ai L:te s some ( t e arle e , in re c ,‘„,„ but • E ' —the te e f i . e l 'll, - ; -1 top e so r , le t ie inter. fnß ver fig i rm regr e afif envire tLangthlo bE t.)le to the MISCELLANEOUS. ph With!

Good accounts continue to be received from Liverpool. On Saturday 10,000 bales were sold at steady prices, the demand from the speculators being extensive. One half was Surat. A fair business was also done in Railways, and the market was good for Brighton, and Paris and Rouen Shares. Eastern Counties were 84; Edinburgh and Glasgow, ; Grand Junction, 183 • Great Western, lialf r ,§o4; Birmingham, 187 ; Paris and Rouen, 24+1 and South Eastern, 18+. There are later accounts by the Patrick Henry from the United States. The dates are, New York, Nov. 7 ; Philadelphia, Nov. 6 ; Quebec, Oct. 31.; and Montreal, Nov. 4. Commercial affairs do not appear to have varied much, and money was abundant. Produce ruled low, but some of the American jour nals anticipate a better business in British manufaC tures than the tariff might be supposed to admit of.. The sth of December, when resumption of speCie payments is to be attempted at New Orleans, wag, looked forward to with much interest. A general topic of conversation in the City to-day has been the sudden disappearance of a young man employed as collecting clerk in the establishment of the London Joint-stock Bank, and . who has with, him upwards of 20,000/. in notes., tm. Having failed to return to the Bank, suspic;',oU was excited 'and possible and within' two hours vehicles 'ire*-,, di s p a t c h e d direction to trace out the party, whose name is Jordan. It is supposed therefore eve re, that he will be unable to escape, ar,d that even if he succeeded he might not , from '.ne large amount of the notes, 1;0001:and 5001. rich, get rid of them. There is a quiet market for the Public Securities, and prices are not buoyant. The Savings' Bank pur chase has been in Consols at 94.1, and in Reduced An nuities at 94i. Consols for present transfer, realise 944 to 941, and for Time 95 to 954 ; Exchequer Bills are at the decline to (4s. and 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 1014 ; and Reduced, 1004 to 1004 ; the Three per Cents. are 934 to 944 ; Bank Stock is rather brisk, at 1711 to 172,3 ; but there are no bargains in India Stock ; India Bonds are 50s. to 525. premium. • The accounts from Lisbon notice the increased favour into which the new Treasury issue was get ting, and also the election of Deputies for the Lisbon district favourable to the . Government. The Stock is firmer, New Five per Cents. at 371, and Converted at 311. The financial project for Spain, coupled to a commercial treaty with England, excites much atten tion. The Active Bonds are 174 to 18, and the Three per Cents. are up to 224 and 221. Mexican Stock is down again to 304 and 29+. The over-issue is clearly proved to be contrary to the letter and spirit of the Government decrees and stipulations for the conversion, and excites the greatest indignation in all respectable quarters. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 521. The Share Market is more animated, and the quo tations are supported.

LAW INTELLIGENCE• OMEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court was engaged the whole morning in hearing arguments on cases in the special paper, which turned exclusively on technical points of pleading. CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.) The first session of the present Mayoralty com menced this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, Sub-Sheriffs, Aldermen Gibbs, John Johnson, and tither civic functionaries. The calendar contains a list of 247 persons, of whom there are charged as accessories before the fact, 33 of arson, 1 ; bigamy, 2 ; burglary, 4 ; cattle steal ing, 1 ; uttering or possessing counterfeit coin, 5 ; uttering ditto feloniously, 1 ; embezzlement, 9 ; for gery, or uttering forged instruments, 7 ; housebreak ing and larceny, 2 ; larceny, 137 ; ditto in a dwelling house, 5 ; ditto from the person, 15 ; ditto by ser vants, 25 ; stealing from. a letter, 1 ; misdemeanour, 10; murder, 2 ; perjury, 1 ; rape, 2 ; receiving stolen goods, 9 ; robbery, 38. Of these there were com mitted from London, 21; Middlesex, 197; Essex, 1 ; Kent, 10 ; and Surrey, 18 ;--total, 247. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The RECORDER in charging them, said that from the appearance of the calendar which lay before him, he was apprehensive that the cases respecting which they would have to inquire would not fall short of three hundred. There were two charges of rape of a serious character, and two of murder ; and depositions also were before the Court in the case of, another charge of murder. It was not his wish to prejudice the cases which would come before them, or to antici pate the inquiry which these cases in the Court. He should therefore ab s t a i n from corr.,- menting on the circumstances discl ose d i n the ?Aepo sitions, and the more so as e were to undergo comment, was not necessary for the instruction and assisi a nee of the Grand Jury, except that he felt it his duty to say that he thought it Would be ngc.e . : ssary the two cases of rape,: 'an a three cases of murder before the Pettit Jura, On these c ases, however, he expressed no 00, "awn as to the ultimate result of the r f ne inquiry, for them to put present calendar was heavy, not only as rewarded the nature of the crimes charged, but also the number of the prisoners. He observed that there were three persons in the calendar charged as acces sories before the fact. As that term might be new to the Jury, he thought it right to explain to them what the meaning was according to the definition of Lord Hales. "An accessory . before the fact is a person who was absent at the time of the fe lony being committed, but did yet procure, counsel, command, or abet another to commit the felony." It was not enough to constitute an accessory that a per-, son should have known that an offence was intended, and had given a tacit acquiescence ; and further; the procuring and abetting must be continued to the com mission of the act. In the case which would go be fore the Jury, the: persons were charged as accesso ries to the fraudulent drawing out of the Court of Chancery certain moneys which were not the pro-, perty of the persons who so obtained th erm In thi s case some of the parties chat ed did not take so active a part as others, and it }s' as on this account he thought it necessary to point out the distinction between mere misprision and the guilt of an accessory. The Learned Recorder lengtk,l- u t on essed the Jury further at considerable uly on the usual topics of a charge. NEW COURT. Commissioners Bullock and Sir George Carroll took their teats in the New Court at one o'clock. Frederick Henry Rix, 24, described in the calendar as a traveller, was charged with a misdemeanour, in having obtained from his master several sums of money, as commission on orders, which orders he had not . really received. The case was one traversed from last Sessions. The indictment contained three charges, on each of which the prisoner withdrew his former plea and pleaded guilty. The proseCutor did not wish to press the charges. The prisoner received a good character from one witness. He was sen tenced to three months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Fuatous DatviNG.—A cabman hamed Thomas Selwyn was charged with furiously driving his cab last night in the Strand. P 48 stated that he was on duty last night between twelve and one, when he saw tht prisoner driving fu riously down the Strand. He drove down the middle of the street, and right against the back of an other cab which was standing in the Strand. The back of this cab was driven in and broken to pieces. The horse in the prisoner's cab was nearly killed by the' concussion, and when the witness came up the animal was almost doubled up. The prisoner was in a state of intoxication. There were two gentlemen in his cab. The prisoner in his defencd:said that he was sorry for what he had done. In answer to a question from Mr. HALL, the pri soner said yesterday was the first day of lus driving. Mr. HALL sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE—(THIS DAY). Mary Ann Webb, a servant out of place, was brought up, charged on suspicion of stealing a valuable prayer book, the property of some parties unknown. George Bishop, 30 D, said that about six o'clock on Satarday =evening he was called into Mr. Black. adder's, stationer and bookseller, of 16, Adam-street, Manchester-square, where the prisoner was disposing of the article in question. He suspected from her manner, and the fact of her giving a wrong address, that she had stolen it, and took her into custody. The prayer-book was handed to Mr. Rawlinson. It was beautifully bound in brown morocco, heavily mounted and clasped in gold, on touching a spring the interior of the clasp flew op en an d exposed a hair locket with the initials " 11. Ll 3 L . ~ from Frederick, Sept. 1841 ;" the whole was beautifully finished, and from the richness of the material and delicacy of the chasing must have been very valuable. Mr. itawlin son hoped that the owners of the property might read of its recovery in the daily prints, and he therefore would remand the case till Wednesday first. The female accounted for its possession by saying she found it on a seat in Hyde Park. CLERKEN WELL An old man, dressed in a seedy suit of black , was •—(T HIS DI Y.) charged with begging. Police constable N 11 deposed, that yesterday morning, whilst in his own room he heard the pri soner exclaiming in the streets that be was once in the possession of the luxurious enjoyments of life, and the City. lie was now redu ce d t o b eg i n the streets the proprietor of a harness- 1 / 4 1,4,g establishment in to save himself from starvation ; he had been soliciting alms in the 'West-end from the aristocratic and the wealthy, but had not obtained a farthing; he now besought of the humbler classes to commiserate him. Some people threw him halfpence.

Mr. GREENWOOD said he had no doubt but the prisoner was a man of no ordinary intelligence, and did not question his statement of former respectability. Begging must be put a stop to ; he would sentence him to 21 days' imprisonment. AMERICAN NEWS LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The packet-ship, Captain Delano, which sailed from New York on the 7th inst., arrived here this evening, a few minutes before the departure of the train. The yellow fever was very prevalent at Mo bile, and daily increasing. Its ravages were prin cipslly confined to strangers, and the residents who had left the city in consequence were ad vised not to return until the frost had set in. Mr. Webster had paid a visit to the city of New York, and at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, be made a lengthened speech, in which he recapitulated most of the topics intro duced into his former speech at Boston, congra tulated his countrymen on the settlement of the Boundary Question, and took a favourable re view of the acts of President Tyler, and the policy which the executive had pursued. Two steamers had arrived out—the Caledonia, which left this port on the Bth ult., arrived at Boston on the 2d inst., and the Great Western, which sailed from Bristol on the 22d ult., arrived at New York on the 6th inst. The packet ship New York, which sailed hence on the Bth ult., arrived out after an excellent passage for a sail ing ship, on the 2d inst. The election for the State and city of New York would take place on the Bth, and upon its result would depend in a great measure the fu ture complexion of Congress. Mr. Dickens's book had arrived out, and given great offence to our Transatlantic neighbours. The statements contained in it leave, no doubt, they say, that the offensive article in the _Foreign Quarterly Review on the American press was the production of the same pen. Freights were very low, and the rate of Ex change was also unusually Ipw-6 per cent. Bu siness, as usual, continued dull. The next meet ing of Congress, which would take place she first week in- December, was looked to with much anxiety. The Planters and Merchants' Bank of Mobile failed on the 25th of October. A day or two previous it had resorted to an issue of post notes; but these the Bank of Mobile and the Branch Bank of the State of Alabama refused to receive. The holders of these then applied to the Planters and Merchants' Bank to have them redeemed, not in specie, but in the inconvertible paper of the other banks of Alabama. This was refused, and the bank furthermore refused to pay the checks of depositors in anything but post notes. STOCK EXCHANGE, NEW YORK, Nov. 5.

Since our last we have received a very moderate supply of English Wheat, coastwise and by land car riage and sample, while the stands to-day were scantily filled. The condition of the quantity on offer was by no means first-rate; still, however, the demand on the part of the dealers, whose attendance was not to say numerous, was extremely dull, and to effect sales an abatement in the currencies noted on this day s'en night of is to in some few instances 2s per quarter was submitted to by the factors, without effecting a clear ance. A comparatively small quantity of foreign Wheat has reached during the week, and been landed in bond. This article was amending, and might have been purchased at a decline a . from Is to 2s per quarter on last week's rates. On account of the immense supply of Barley, viz., 15,000 quarters, the inquiry for it was dull, at a de pression of from is to '2s per quarter. The best new Malt was quite as dear, but other kinds had a down ward tendency. Oats, notwithstanding the quantity on offer was not very large, met a slow sale, yet we cannot call them cheaper. Beans and Peas were selling on rather easier terms. Both town aid country Flour was is per 2801bs lower. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Since our report on this day se i nnight, the arrivals of live stock, from abroad, have been, compared with those which have come to hand in some preceding weeks, limited as to numbers ; but a decided im provement has been apparent in their general qua lity, not only as regards those received here, but also those at Hull and our other outports. These circum stances have, there is not the slightest doubt en• tertained, been caused by the losses which many of the importers have sustained in purchasing stock beneath the middle quality. The supply of-fo ieign Beasts here to-day comprised 11 .ox from Spain and 7 from Hamburgh ; as to the former, they were certainly very extraordinary animals, and pro duced from 181 lOs to 21/, while the lattit moved off slowly at from 15/ to 18/ each From past events it is now placed beyond a dpubt that the importation of stock, other tharl that of the best quality. must be attended with loss. The following is our usual statement of the importa tions in the week : FROM GERMANY, DURING THE WEEK ENDING NOV. 26. Beasts. Cows. Sheep. Pigs. London .

From our northern grazing districts, we received 2,420 short-horns, runts, and Irish beasts ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire , 90 horned and polled Scots, but chiefly the latter ; from our west ern and midland districts, 380 Devons, runts, llereford3, and 230 of various kinds from other parts of England. Our market is now attracting the attention of the Irish shippers ; we having on sale to-day 110 beasts from Dublin, which were of fair' average quality, • and realised steady currencies. These beasts were imported tit Liverpool, and brought thence per railway ; 100 more are expected for Monday next. The number of beasts, as will be seen by the above returns, being good, we have .to report a very sluggish beef trade, with all except the primest descriptions. The best Scotch sold at last Monday's figures, or at from 4s 2d to 4s 4d per stone of 81bs ; but the other kinds were a dull sale, at barely stationary prices. As to sheep, these were plentiful, and fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. The Mutton trade, as a whole, was dull, at unaltered currencies, while a good clearance was effected. In Calves, a limited amount of business was doing. Prime small porkers were more inquired for; but other kinds of pigs were a mere drug. - - PRICES !ER, STONE OF BLB., TO SINK TISK OFFAL. a. d. to G. d. a. d. to e. d.

We have again to report the arrival of large quan tities of slaughtered meat from Scotland, Yorkshire, and several other quarters, but they having come to hand in very middling condition, leaving out of the question quality, the demand has ruled ex cessively heavy at miserably low figures. The Supplies of London-killed meat have - been heavy, yet the priinest descriptions ' haVe commanded fair inquiry at full rates of eurriney—all'eth2ritinas being much' neklected; indeed; they have. been hardly s aleable a t any price, and 'clearances haVe- not been effected in any instance.

During the week we have had full average arrivals of Potatoes, which have come to hand in excellent condition. The mildness of the weather, together with - the abundant supplies of. green vegetables on offer, has produced another dull inquiry, at the fol lowing prices :—York reds, 55s to 60s per ton; Scotch ditto, 45s to 50s Devons, • 45s to 50s ; Kent, Essex, and Suffolk whites, 45s to 50s; Wisbeach, 45s to 50s; Jersey whites, 38s to 40s; Jersey and Guernsey blues, 40s to 45s ; Yorkshire Prince Regents, 455 to 50s. WOOL MARK ET.- The public sales of Colonial and other Wools, since our last, have been well attended by buyers, mid we are happy to state that the biddings have ruled brisk, at, in some .instances, an advance of 14 per lb. No little stir has been made about false packing, but an agree ment has been entered into between the sellers and buyers. The sales will be continued this week, and the total quantity to be offered will fall little short of 16,000 bales. During the week the imports have been moderate. Scarcely any thins is doing by pri vate contract. . . HOPS-BOROUGH. The duty having at length been declared several thousands over the sum at which 'it was generally estimated—thereby proving that this year's produce is extremely larger—the demand here has become very heavy, and dealers are holding off in anticipation of depressed rates. The few parcels sold since our last have produced the following quotatiops :—East Kent, in pocket 51. 10s. to 6/. 6s. ; Mid Kent ditto, Si. ss. to 6/. ; Sussex, 41. 10s. to 5L Bs. ; Farm hams, 8/. to 101. ;Old Hops, 3/. to 4/. 10s. THE TALLOW TRADE. Since our last week's rep' it,,the arrivals have been very large—upwards of 12,000 casks—which has caused a trifling reduction in price, and good quality may now be had at 48s, at wbich the trade buy spa ringly. The St. Petersbumb letters due this morn ing are not yet arrived. 7.„ LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS J)AY.) LONDON, Nov. 28.—Wind this day at noon, fresh breeze from the southward,and fine.

We at the same time stated, that it was intended to change the hereditary keepership of the park. This rumour we are glad to see borne out by a notice of a n intended application to Parliament, to enable th e Commissioners of Woods and Forests to carry out the proposed arrangement.—Edinburgh Observer. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom house yesterday, with the Dutch mail. COURT of ASSIZES of the SEINE. (Concluded from The Sun of Tuesday.) Having already given some extracts from the evi dence adduced on this extraordinary trial, which have not appeared elsewhere, we now furnish an abstract of the proceedings of the two last days of the inquiry, adopting as before the report of Le Siecle. The sitting of the 18th was opened at ten o'clock, and on the prisoners beingbrought into Court, Hour dequin appeared pale, weak, and apparently suffering from illness. The President perceived it, "and tug gested to him that he should change _places with B' outet, a fellow prisoner, with which Hourclequin complied. M. Plocque opened the proceedings . with the de fence of Solet; he concluded by drawing a pathetic picture of the death of his client's mother, who, being ill at the time of her son's arrest, had died of the shock, in a dreadful state of uncertainty as to whe ther her son had forfeited his character or not. The advocate's address concluded amid the warm applause of the crowded Court. M. Goujon then proceeded with the defence of Phillidor. After having met the chief articles of accusation against him, he concluded by dwelling on the fact that after having held his office for twenty seven years Phillidor was still poor, and expressed a hope that his superiors having borne favourable tes timony to his character, would, on the acquittal he anticipated, restore him the situation, which was his only means of support. M. Chaix d'Est Ange followed with the defence of Hourdequin. After dilating on the necessity of the Executive Government having a support in the public opinion as to its character for justice, he said that still it must be confessed that in a free government, where the eyes of the people were constantly fixed on their superiors, it was very difficult to preserve the conti- - nued respect of the public. A democracy, as a power, was commonly generous in its nature, but ardent and passionate, its restless inquisitiveness not being always exempt from prejudices; as soon as the least suspicion was.excited against a public man, it too arose against him immediately and overwhelmed him. He protested against founding any decision upon the mere opinion of the community, insisting that an ac cused man should only be condemned upon evident and certain proof of his criminality. He proceeded to contend that, so far from having been wilfully blind to the abuses of the bureau, Hourdequin had . endeavoured to repress them. Thus, in 1829, he ori ginated the measure which suppressed the abuse of the travaux exterieurs, and, commencing in 1831, -he reduced very considerably the expenditure of the Bureau of Plans and Designs, which from 100,000 ' francs was successively diminished, in 1840 to 48,000, to 36,000, and 34,000 francs. A breach of the law relating to corruption, required three things to bring it within the meaning of the enactment : first, that there should be a corruptor; secondly, that there. should be a corrupted agent ; and; thirdly, that the corruption should be proved in an act included in the official duties of that agent. No corruption appeared at all before the Court, and next the acts for which Ilourdequin had received fees or commissions, were not acts included in his official duty. They consisted of advice and consultations which he had given to, or • held with parties, in the extra-official hours of even ing, and out of the bureau; acts which did not at all affect the administrative functions intrusted to him.. it only remained to be proved, then, whether, in the other acts specified in the charge, he had yielded to corruption or not. The prosecution proceeded upon the confessions of the accused himself, and in letters in his own hand ; the first the accused had denied and retracted, as they were made OA a misconstruction of what was required, and when he was in a feeble con• dition both of body and mind ; all that could be de rived from the written proofs, were mere presump tions. In conclusion, the Advocate, as in the former case dwelt on the very moderate fortune of the ac cused, as a practical refutation of the charge of cor ruption ' • twenty- fi ve millions of francs, had passed through his hands on the account of the city, and his whole fortune was proved to amount at the present time to no more than 100,000 francs (less than 5,0000 M. l'Avocat-General having replied; the Court rose. The 19th was the last day of the proceedings ; the Court opened at half-past ten o'clock ; the hall was crowded to excess. The President having delivered his resume of the evidence, the Jury retired at two o'clock ; the crowd remained in the hall during the whole time of their deliberation. At a quarter to six, having been absent nearly four hours, the Jury returned, and the following ve rdict was read : Morin guilty on the charge of corruption ; not guilty on that of abstraction of plans ; extenuating circumstances admitted. Solet and Phillidor declared not guilty. Boutet, found guilty of corruption, having received sums of money thr abstaining from doing acts which were reqUirtil of him by his duty ; extenuating cir cumstance admitted. - 11ourdequin, by the simple majority only Of the Jury, declared guilty of corruption, having ac cepted the promise of a sum of 25,000 francs to do an act included in his duties, but not subject to salary; all the other charges negatived by the Jury ; exteima. tang eircuinstances admitted. Solet and Phillidor were then called in, and the part of the verdict referrieg to them read. They were discharged, the former with a compliment, the latter with an admonition. They both left the Court in. The three other prisoners were then brought in, and the verdict read to them. Hourdequin raised his arms to Heaven, and drooped his head upon . biit - ,, breast ; Mo ri n sobbed violently ; Boutet appeared Ink; passible. The Advocate-Generalthen demanded 'the applies. tion of the articles of the law to the prisoners, and** Court adjourned. After a quarter of an • hour's deliberation the Cosuit resumed, and pronounced the following sentence:—! Merin to three years' imprisonment, and a fine of 1 041 Francs; Boutet to three years' imprisonment. and rlourdequin to four years' imprisonment. `curs , FORCIBLE RESISTANCE TO I'ooB-RATES.—III ad dition to the intelligence contained in our last, with respect to the popular discontent with the rates, and the lawless determination to resist the collection by force, we have now to state that the depot of the 3511, Regiment, stationed at Carrick-on-Suir, were ordered to be in readiness on Friday (to -day), to collect poor rates ; and a party of the 7th Dragoon Guards, quar tered in Clomnel, are to move to Carrick to assist.— Dublin Erening Mail.
