( From the Courier Francais. ) PARIS, OCT. 24.--M. Molitor, a priest, was tried yesterday before the Correctional Tribunal of Police for having illegally worn the Cross of the Legion of Honour. The trial was con ducted in a closed Court, and he was sentenced to six months imprisonment. In the same sitting a man accused of an In decent assault was sentenced to four years imprisonment. The public were also excluded from this trial. Papavoine is interrogated every day. Yesterday he was again carried to the Falai: de Juitice, and the crowd gathered as much about him as ever. COURT OF ALDERMEN. 'Yesteritty the Loan MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen for the dispatch of public business. The Chamberlain reported the surplus of the Orphan's Fund for the last Quarter, and the Court directed him to take the requisite measuretfor the discharge of the sum of 20,6001. of the debt, agreeably to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Gilman, lately elected Bridgemaster, was admitted and sworn into that office. The Inquest of Coleman-street Ward made a presentment against a person for using false scales and weights, and the Court directed the City Solicitor to proceed against him forth. with. A very considerable number of ruinous houses, buildings, and prethises, in Cripplegate Ward Without, were presented by the Inquest, and the Solicitor directed to put the Act of Parliament into effect. The Solicitor reported his proceedings under former present ments of ruinous premises In the Wards of Cheap and Farring don-without, and such as had not been repaired were ordered to be taken down forthwith. The Court directed the usual orders to the Watermen's Com pany, and the precepts to the several Companies in relation to their attendance on Lord Mayor's day next to be issued. The orders against throwing squibs and fire-works on thelsth November and Lord Mayor's day were directed to be issued. Commissioners of the Court of Requests for the month of December next were appointed. A boy of St. Margaret's, 'Westminster, was admitted into Emanuel Hospital on the increased foundation there. The Loan .51AY011 wished to call the attention of the Court to a matter which he conceived affected the privileges of the city. He had imagined that the proceedings of the 31agistrates of Middlesex in the case of Mr. Fauntleroy hid been in con. sequence of sonic offence committed in Middlesex ; but to hid surprise, he found by the commitment, a co py o f w hi c h l ie held in is hand, and which he should request the town-clerk to read, that the commitment was for an offence in the city of London, and his case stood in the calendar to be tried by a London Jury . How far they had a ri g ht h e wou ld not say, but certainly it was contrary to courtesy. He had no recollec tion of any cue since he had been in the Magistracy where such an occurrence had taken place.; and he believed the City Magistrates invariably sent all persons charged with of fences in Middlesex to the Magistrates there and in a recent case, a robbery of great extent—he meant Earl Cowper's,—nl though the whole was detected in the city, and through the vi gilance of their own officers, he had sent the prisoners to the magistrates at Hertford 'for investigation. The Court would naturally feel, that, occupied as he constantly was, it would be highly .desirable for him to be relieved from trouble ; but he conceived that the magistrates of the city ought not to shrink from any trouble where the privileges of the city were concern ed. He therefore felt it his duty to state the circumstance, and to leave it to the Court to act as they thought proper.—The com mitment was then read—(for which see THE SUN of /friday.) Sir JAIIES SHAW said that he (lid not know how fur the Middlesex Magistrates had the right, but it appeared to him that it was highly improper, and that in courtesy it ought to have been sent to the City Magistrates. As the individual was about being tried, he thought it would he better not to come to any immediate conclusion, but he should move that it be referred to a Committee of Privileges. Mr. Alderman Woon thought it highly improper: it had formerly been attempted, and remonstrated against. At least, as a matter of courtesy they ought to have sent the case to the City ; the City Magistrates always did so wi t h res p ect to the, and if in little petty cases they did so, lie really thought it worthy the consideration of the Court. Sir J. PERRINO concurred; and after some further con sideration, it was agreed to confer with the Magi s tr a te on t h ero t a , and Recorder and Common Serjeant, at the ensuing Sessions. ABSENCE. ANECDOTE OF BACON, TUE SCULPTOR. The ludicrous story about Sir JOSUUA allY• MOLDS, and the unfortunate waistcoat of his friend ArrLuy, related in TUX SUN of the 15th inst., will find a counterpart in the following anec dote of another Artist and another waistcoat :—. Bacon was remarkably neat in his dress, and, according to the costume of the old school, wore, in fine weather a pow dered wig, ruffles, silver buckles, white silk stockings, &e., and walked with his golden headed c a ne. Thus attired, he one day called at St. Paul's, shortly after having erected the statue of the benevolent Howard, and before the boarding which en closed the statue was removed. One of Ids suns was employed at this time in finishing the statue. After remaining here a short time, he complained of feeling somewhat cold ; on which the son proposed, as no one could overlook them, that he should put on, as a kind of temporary spencer, a n old, t orn , green, shag wai s tco a t, w i t h a red stuff' back, which had been left thereby one of the w or k men . H e sa i d it was " a good thought, and accordingly buttoned the waistcoat over his handsome new coat. Shortly afterwards he was missing, but returned in about an hour, stating that he had been to call on u Gentleman in Doctor's Commons, and had sat chatting with his wife and daughters, who he had never seen before ; that he found them to he exceedingly pleasant women, th tugh perhaps a little too much dispo , .eit to laugh anti titter about he knew not what. " Sir," said his son, "I am afraid I can explain their mysterious behaviour—surely you have not kept on that waistcoat all this time ? " But as sure as lam a living man, I have;" said he, laughing heartily, " and I can now account not only for the strange behaviour of the Ladies, but for all the jokes that have been cracked about me as I walked along the street, some persons hooting, others crying ' l e t hint alone, h e does it for a wager, &c. all which, from being quite uncon scious of my appearance,l thought was levell e d a t some other quis that might be fidlowing near me : and 1 now recollect that whenever I looked around to discover the object of their plea. sentry, the people laughed, and the more so, as, by the mere force of sympathy, I laughed also, although I could not ima gine what- it all meant."

MADRID, OCT. 12.- 4 -(Privule Letter.)—The Decree On tire Communcros (Freemasons) and individuals who have belonged to any secret society whatever, has produced a great ef fect.; the number of persons who have pre sented themselves to enjoy the pardon which it promises is very considerable; it is true that the Government on its side observes in the most faithful mariner what it has promised in the decree, and the confidence which this con duct inspires reclaims many persons whom fear would have Weep(' to he silent on this adhe rence to the revolutionary system. Among the • number are observed M. Espitio, Ex-Secretary to the Landaburian Society, and M.

The severe measures adopted by Government, • after the nfrair of Tarifa, has r e st ore d tranqu i ll i ty to the province. Some Intendants of Police, who have shewn themselves fur from favourable to them, have been dismissed. Among the number are those of Gallicia and Estratnadura. have observed that all your Journals endeavour to prove that our Treasury is completely exhausted. I know not on what they found their opinions, but I will mention some facts which seem to spew that there is exaggeration in the assertions of the Foreign Journals respecting the state of our finances. The Government lately received from a bank. leg-house at Paris bills ot exchange for eight mil li rum of reels, viz.—five millions on the house n C !wllero, Widow and Sons, and three on that of ..- St - oft,. Widow, Hernandez, and Co. All the bi.:s were payable at par, three to eight days' sight. They were presented by-the Treasurer . General, who was asked by the two houses to re. Ci!itri3 the amount before they became due, and he answered he would do so when he wanted the money. The day of payment, however, passed, and even some weeks having elapsed without payment being asked, the house at Paris was In directly informed, and asked an explanation of the two Madrid. 11011809, which was referred to Abe Treasurer-General. He replied to the Paris house, that it was owing to him that the bills had net been paid. In fact the . payment has just I)..eti effected, and the several .waggons have con 'weye•d to the Treasury the amount of the 'bills, nearly three weeks after they became due. The Council of Castile, in the plan of Instruc tioe which it presented to the King, proposed to suppress the University of Toledo, but the'King • lutS resolved that that city shall retain its Uni versity, because it has'doue such great services to , the, cause of the Altar and the Throne. The Council of Castile has just terminated the discus • 'ion of the proceedings against the ►ate Constitu tiutial regidors of Madrid, hut not passed atty sentence in this important cause. It is known, however, that by his Majesty's instructions the ex-regidors are not to be punished, except by FOR THE SUN. EDDA. FA111.2 Tilt Cow WHICH ern Yuen. Mu. Enrrott—Gungler next inquired in what place dwelt the giant liner, and what was the nature of his food. liar answered :—As soon as this wind from the south had melted down the frozen vapours, and reduced them into drops, there was also formed a cow from them. Four rivers of milk issued from her udder, and she ' fed Ymer. As for the cew, she lived upon the salt and the white frost which she licked from off the stones. On the evening of the first day when she licked these stones, human hair issued from them ; on the second day a head made its appearance, and on the third .there came forth a man, endowed with beauty, strenth and power. He was named Bare, and was the father of Bore, who married Beyzla, daughter of the giant Buldorn. The children of this marriage were three sons, Odin, Vile, and Ye; and it is our belief that this Odin governs the heavens and the earth, in conjunc tion with his brothers ; that Odin is his real name, and that he is the most powerful among the gods. This fable of the Edda, Mr. Editor, naturally leads to some important reflections, which I beg leave to subjoin to it. From the context of this, and of the preceding fable, it is evident that some power and super eminent being had breathed life into the frozen drops from which the first giant was formed. This Being, which the Edda affects never to name, was evidently not Odin, in this fable called the most powerful of the gods, since Odin was born long after Ymer, who issued from the frozen drops. If he cousidered that the Druids were particularly cautious to conceal the hidden mys teries of these doctrines, and - revealed them only gradually, and to some chosen few, we may con clude, from what has been observed above, that the secret philosophy of the Celts taught that the supreme, eternal, invisible, and incorruptible Being, whose name, through dread and respect, they did not venture to mentio n , h a d es t a bli s h e d , inferior deities to govern tin.• universe ; anti that it was these deities that were, on the last day, to be crushed by the evil powerk, and buried be neath the ruins of the world. That at this period the Supreme God, that God ever existing, and inaccessible to change, would awake from his re pose to create a new world out of the wrecks of that which had perished, and thus begin a new era, which, itself, would be followed by another, and so on in endless succession. This notion bears a strong and a striking resemblance with the doctrine of the Stoics, who taught, likewise, that after the world had been consumed by lire, it would arise out of its ashes, and that at this same epoch the inferior deities would be destroyed. In confirmation of this opinion, it is remarked, that in the ancient Icelandic poem, this god is greater than Odin himself, and of which the peo ple in general had no great knowledge, is made to appear, when all the gods are no more, for the purpose of rendering justice, and opening new destinies to a new race of beings. The mention of the existence of giants is also worthy of notice. That there once existed a race of men of a gigantic size, seems to have been he lieved by all the 111100111 of antiquity, by which they are mentioned either under the name of giants, of Tita►:, or of Cyclops, Nor IS this idea ' confined to the writings of Pagans, since even the Old Testament informs us in the book of Genesis ) that at the time when the children of God were seduced by the beauty of the daughters of men, there were giants that dwelt upon the earth. Surely, a tradition at once so ancient, and so universal, for we find giants mentioned also in the tales of the East, must rest upon some solid foundation ? If to this we add the works dis covered in many countries, bearing evident marks of the highest antiquity, and at the same time truly gigantic in their nature, as well as the bones sometimes found ou various parts of the globe, we can scarcely avoid believing that there did once exist upon the face of the earth a race of men very superior in strength and in size to those by which it is now inhabited. Whether or not this was really the case, must probably ever remain a matter of conjecture.-- The reasons which induce me to incline to the affirmative are those that I have just stated : nor do I consider them as absurd or improbable in themselves, however much they may be at va riance with the most generally received opinions. The truth of any event that has occurred long ago, depends chiefly upon the general concur rence of testimonies from various parts, all agree ing as to the main fact. This sort of confirma tion is not wanting in regard to the existence of giants, since we find it believed by different na tions, and asserted at once by our own sacred books, as well as by the most ancient records of the most ancient nations that have dwelt upon the face of the earth. A. r. Granoif speaking of the excellences of the reign of Neushirvan, or Cbosrops, observes, " and the rare and inestima`ble treasure of fresh water was parsimoniously managed and skilfully dis. persed over the arid territory of Persia.

LITERARY NOTICE. FORGET ME NOT; a CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR'S PRESENT for 1825. A Third Number of this beautiful Work ha., just issued from the KEPOSITORT of Mr. ACKER MANN, and possesses, if possible, still stronger claims to'public notice and approbation than its two precursors. Stimulated by the success at tendant on the first numbers, Mr. ACKERMANN appears to have been actuated by a desire to merit its continuance, by rendering the present volume much superior in the beauty of its embel lishments, and the number of artists employed, the enumeration of whose names is a sufficient evidence of the graphic merits of the work. On perusing the preface, we must regret the combi nation of unfortunate circumstances which has attended the publication of the present Number. A new and elegant type had been cast expressly for the 4 ' Forget Me Not," but was included with the whole impression of a considerable part of the volume, and the manuscript for the remainder, in the destruction occasioned by a fire in the print ing -office. Among the manuscripts, we are sorry to learn, was the conclusion of the amusing Auto biography of Ferdinand Franck, our favourable mention of which, in our preceding Notice of the " Forget Me Not," our Readers will doubtless re collect, us forming one of the best portions of the literary department of the first number of the work. We then suggested the propriety of pub lishing it in a separate form, and are still of opi nion that, got up in Mr. ACKERMANN% neat man ner, and with the illustrations which the artists in his employ are capable of affording, it would be highly successful. Some of the tales in the present Number are entertaining and well written, and the Poetry, by BERNARD BARTON (the Laureate of the Fraternity of " Friends"), Messrs. NEELE, WIFYEN, and the fair Improvisa trice, to whose effusions is affixed the signature D. E. is in general very good. Public ap proval appears to have given Mr. ACKERMANN increased exertion to merit its continuance, and we have no doubt but that he will soon he re warded for the trouble and expence which he must have incurred by a rapid disappearance of the " Forget Me Nut" from the shelves of excellent Repository. TRIAL OF LORD CLERMONT. ( From the Freeman's Journal. ) DUNDALK QUARTER SESSIONS, OCTOBER 14. This morning the Court-house was crowded to excess in expectation of the above trial coming on. The fol- Alacan, John M'Clintock, lowing Magistrates appeared on the bench with the Assistant Barrister (Francis Hamilton, Esq.) :—Right Hon. Earl of Roden, Sir Edward Bellew, Bart., Wallop Brabazon, Turner onilliam Lo jrdouVnisLoarnuntlioenk:j..nuinon:(awgeaad Esqrs, Rev. Gervais Tinlay, Rev. other -- 'Wright, Thos. Lee Norman, G.

The substance of this case has already appeared in the public papers. The evidence having been gone through, Mr. STRELE made an ingenious speech fur the noble traverser; after which__ The ASSISTANT BARRISTER addressed the Jury : he Raid they had at last arrived at the termination of the very painful investigation in which they had been engaged—for painful it must be to every feeling mind, to see a nobleman of exalted rank, ancient family, and great possessions, brought to the bar of justice. Ile particularly regretted that he could not concur in the view of the evidence which Mr. Steele, with the talent and ingenuity with which lie is upon ell occasions conspi cuous, had endeavoured to submit to their consideration._ He felt satisfied that there was not a disinterested individual in Court who would not feel rejoiced at the complete exculpa tion of the noble traverser; but, under the impression of the evidence which he felt, he was bound to tell the Jury ' that if they believed the witnesses for the prosecution—and he must say he could not perceive a point to hang a doubt upon—it was their duty to-find a verdict accordingly. The Jury had heard the evidence, which was all upon one side ; there was no con flicting testimony for their consideration, and therefore, u nl ess they disbelieved the witnesses, they were bound to give a ver. diet against die traverser. He did not think it necessary to re capitulate the evidence, but if any one individual upon the Jury wished it, he was prepared to state it correctly. The Jury having intimated that they did not require it, re tired, toed in a short time returned with a verdict of guilty in each case. While the Jury were considering on their verdict, the Magistrates retired from the bench to the Judge's chamber : the Assistant Barrister inquired front the Counsel for the Crown if it was the intention of the prosecutors, in the event of a ver dict being returned against the traverser, to pursue the matter farther, or let it terminate in Court ? Mr. O'Hanlon said, that he certainly thought it would terminate here, and applied to the agent, who said that he was not prepared to say positively that it would, but hoped most sincerely it might, and would recom. mend it to the party. He then went out of Court for a few minutes. On his return, be was a bug time in close consulta tion with Mr. Anthony Marmion, who, to all appearance, was the person on whose authority he scented to rely ; the re sult was, that he declared lie could not let it rest here. Seve. ral notes passed between Mr. O'llanlon (who appeared anxious that it should be dropped) and Mr. Steele while the Jury were out of Court. The Jury having returned their verdict, The ASSISTANT BARRISTER then proceeded to address Lord Clermont, and said that this was the most painful mo ment he had experienced since lie had had the honour of filling the situation he held in the county ; for although he was now called upon, in the bearing of the very crowded Court-house which he then beheld, to state the unanimous opinion of the Bench, that the assaults for which the Noble Lord then stood convicted were of the slightest description—he might add, of the most frivolous nature—he still must sincerely deplore that any combination of circumstances should have brought a Noble. man of his Lordship's station in society into the unfortu nate .situation in which he was then placed. It had been inure than insinuated by his Lordship's talented advocate, that this prosecution did not emanate front the injured feelings of the party, neither was it carried on at their ex pence, but that it was promoted by a body of intriguing in dividuals, associated together for the purpose of reducing to their own base level, every person in society conspicuous for rank, talent, or eminent virtue. Placed where he was, it was riot fur him to say whether such was the fact or not • but as suming it to b e so , i t was tru l y me l ancho l y t h at his not; should be the victim of any such vile conspiracy. It was now, however, his duty to pronounce the sentence of the Court,whict was, that his Lordship should pay a tine, in each case, of 101. to the Crown. On Lord Clermont bowed respectfully to the Court, and retired. We underatind it is the Intention of the friends of the prose cutor forthwith to institute a civil action (for damages) against Lord Clermont. ItEsunnEcTiom MEN.—Ou Friday night, some of these wretches made a daring attempt on Wanstead Church-yard, and in part succeeded. They first got up the body of a child, recently interred, and afterwards the body of a female, which they placed on the edge of the grave ; they then commenced on the grave of the parish beadle, and had made some progress, when they were fortunately disturbed, and made their escape With the child only. These fellows are supposed to belong to the same gang that last year opened a grave in Chingford Church-yard, from which they took a patent iron coffin, broke It to pieces, and carried away its unconscious tenant.
