He (Mr. Thessiger) would therefore only al l ude to the circumstances to show that there were transactions and accounts of a private nature with which a confidential servant might be very likely to be entrusted, which wouldnot:find their way into any accounts between him and his master, but which could 'be perfectly well understood between them, and which would explain every particular of the receipts which had taken place, and the disbursements which had been made. He was precluded. from the situation in which the unfortunate man ,N as placed, by those feelings of gratitude and respect which he weuld retain towards his late master to the latest moment of his existence, from doing more than hinting at these circumstances. iie could not consent, as the prisoner's advocate, wholly to pass them over ; he would glance at them transiently, and pass away to more agreeable features of the case. The crime of embezzle ment consisted in a servant being employed by his master to re ceive monies on his account, not accounting for, but appropriat ing the money to his own use ; the essence of the offence con sisting in not accounting. No one but the prisoner himself could tell whether he had accounted for that money, for thegravo had closed upon the only other individual who was acquainted with the facts. In the present instance they would find the prisoner on the Ist of February receiving a cheque for 3,000/. from his master ; his master knew that he' would take that cheque to Messrs. Coutts' Bank, and he knew the precise amount that he would receive for it ; on the 3d he received another cheque for 2,000/. ; on the 7th another for 3,500/.; and on the 9th another for 7001. Now could they suppose that. on the prisoner going to his master on the 7th Feb. for a cheque for 3,5001., the Marquis being at that tune in the full possession of his mental and bodily faculties, he would not say to him, " Well, Suisse, I gave you 3,000/. on the Ist, and 2,0001. on the 3d, how have you disposed of that ?" The prisoner would, no doubt, account for it, at any rate he would not deny the receipt of those sums, and that would be enough to destroy the charge of embezzlement. IS was not necessary that a servant receiving money for his master should pay that identi cal money to his master's account ; and the fact s.f Suisse em ploying a stockbroker to purchase 2,001 1. stock, having previ ously purchased the same amount, and being able to deposit I ,800/. with the silversmiths, was evidence enough that he had plenty of money; and as for the fact that when, in exchange fir a cheque at Messrs. Coutts, he received, amongst other money, a 400/. note, walked across the office to the foreign department, and requested the foreign clerk to trans mit that very cheque to Madame Suisse —as for that fact, he should, instead of conceiving that it bore against the prisoner, say that it was a strong proof that he, at any rate, was perfectly conscious that he was acting in a manner altogether innocent and honest; for, were there not foreign agents and foreign brokers enough who could have transmitted the money in such a manner that it could hardly have been followed ? The Learned Gentleman went on to comment upon the whole of the evidence in a minute style, and having referred to the character of the prisoner, he concluded a most eloquent address in the following terms : " I therefore stand upon this character, which is to me firm as a rock, upon the present occasion, and I am perfectly satisfied that, unless every presumption of criminal law is to be subverted, unless the prisoner is to be called on to accuse himself before any crime is proved, I am satisfied, I say, that there is no case whatever made out against him, and that you will feel it to be your im portant duty to discharge him, by a verdict of acquittal ; to restore him to a character never forfeited—to a peace of mind which has left him since the loss of his benefactor; and you will be the m.!ans of protecting an innocent man from the conse quences of a charge which would be fatal to his reputation and his existence to the latest moment of his life." Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up at considerable length, repeating and commenting upon the whole of the evidence, and the speech of the Learned Counsel for the defence. The Jury having consulted together in the box about ten minutes, expressed their desire to withdraw, which they did ; and in the meantime, the Judges having retired, and Mr. Com missioner Bullock taken his place upon the Bench, a fresh Jury was empannelled, and other cases were proceeded with. 'Hie Jury, having been absent an hour and a quarter, returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Calatrava, the Spanish Minister of Finance, and that his Excellency has promised to devote his early attention to the examination and settlement of the matter to which they relate. " 1 am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " CANNING." Yesterday Mr.Tasker had an intcrviewwith General Sancho, the Spanish Ambassador, who was writing to his Government despatches on the subject of the Treasury Bonds. By the in telligence from Madrid, published in the Times of this day, it appears that M. Calatrava has obtained the price of 88 per cent, for a portion of the intended issue of Treasury bills, at six per cent., from the Bank of San Fernando; and yet such bills, with six years' arrears of interest upon them, are worth here no more than 30 per cent.

Private letters received this morning from Manchester state that the intelligence by the Overland Mail from India had been viewed as favourable, and had created an expectation that the next accounts would probably cause an 'improvement in business. It is with regret that it is stated that the correspondence delivered in London would lead to a conclusion directly contrary. Both letters and price currents represent the markets all over India to be completely glutted with cotton manufactures, the larger por tion of which are held on account of the consigners. They singularly agree in one fact, that of directly stating that a permanent improvement in trade can only be looked for from a diminution in the stock, which can be brought about but by a cessation of imports. GRAND CRICKET MATCH. SIX GENTLEMEN OF NOTTINGHAM AND FIVE PLAYERS FROM ENGLAND AGAINST ELEVEN NOTTINGHAM PLAYERS. WEDNESDAY.—This match was concluded yesterday and to day, and was decided, after a most intensely exciting game, in favour of the Genlemen with only one wicket to go down. The betting was 10 to I against the winners the night before, but Box and Paris's splendid batting caused a vast deal of money to change hands, much to the surprise of all. The splendid howling of Barber and Redgate was completely beaten by those truly fine players. The following is the two days' score. The Gentlemen in their first innings gained 125 runs, with 5 wide balls, 8 byes, and 10 no balls. The Players by their second innings scored 137 rung, 21 being byes, and •2 wide balls, which, added to the 30 left on, onside 167 for the Gentlemen to go in against. The Gentlemen and England Players in their second innings scored 168, including byes 3, no balls 8. ROSSINI'S STABAT MATER. This celebrated work has now been twice performed in London, on Friday last at the St. James's Theatre, and yes terday in grand and imposing qyle at the Italian Opera House. Though various &abut Maters have been written, that of Pergotesi's being the most remarkable, and written about a hundred years since, Rossini's nevertheless stands competition with the best. The superb performance of the whole compo sition yesterday was overwhelmingly fine : Signors Lablache, F. Lablache, G. Ronconi, Poggi, Guasco, Rubini, and Mes dames Persiani, Moltini, Graziani, and Grammaglia, assisted on the occasion. The interior of the theatre presented a most effective spectacle, having an illuminated transparency representing the gothic arches and painted windows .4 a Roman Catholic cathedral, greatly enhanced by the dim light illumining the theatre. Nearly one half of the pieces were enthusiastically encored. In the '•Stabat Mater Dolorosa," the instrumentation was magnificent. The gloomy " muffled drum" epening was finely appropriate to the mournful sadness of the subject, while in the grand final chorus there is a fugue of a most sublime character. Signor Rubini gave the air " Cuius animam" in his best style. Herr Staudigls beautiful solo, " Pro peccatis , " given with his refined taste, deer voice, and of style, inspired his audience with feelings energeticakin solemnityt othesaered character of the composition. Madame Persiana thrilled the audience with her grand aria, " Inflammatus et accensus," while Mademoiselle Moltini's rich and full-toted voice gave the " Quis et homo" in a delightful 'oarble. The other singers were equally well applauded. The house was most fully attended, and the performance was, we understand, honoured by the immediate patronage of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. APPALLING ACCIDENT.—DUNKIRK, JULY I. Yesterday a most appalling and fatal accident occurred between this place and Lisle.

ICE.—Several of the best skaters went to the New •road, in November last year, to try some ar tificial ice which had been invented to keep Gunter and Grange in countenance during the dog days, anti to afford the adven turous youth of Britain an oppt rtu,,ity of floundering through their evolutions without the fear of the Royal Humane So ciety's hooks before their eyes. Mr. Kirk, the proprietor or inventor of this new sliding scale, has now taken out a paten' for his invention, and has laid down a small space in the Colos seum, Regent's-pack, where skate rs now mos t d o congrega t e . 1 he artificial ice consists of a combination of sodas, which are reduced to a liquid state by fusion ; whilst in this state it is poured upon the place destined for its reception, and the pro cess of congelation or crystallization is so rapid, that it may be skated upon within twenty-five minutes after it has been laid down. Although not so good as virgin ice, it is very superior to the macadamised road wlach misguided people attempt. to skate upon in the Serpentine. It is inferior to the best ice, but far superior to the worst. It is well worth seeing, and was much admired by, the vast number of persons who went yes terday to inspeet it. AIN. THE SUPPOSED ATTEMPT UPON THE QUEEN'S LI}E. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Privy Council remained in conference 'until nearly a quarter past four, at which hour Lord Lyndhurst left, and was soon after;' arils followed by Sir James Graham, and the other members of the Council. Up to this moment we were unable to gain any information founded upon official authority, as to the result of the investigation ; as the " powers that 5e " at the Home-office, petty and important, one and all maintained the strictest reserve with regard to the recision come to. However, notwithstanding their ridiculous attempts at mystery, we are enabled to state, upon authority worthy of the most implicit confidence, that the Privy Council have decided upon committing him to Newgate, on the simple charge of misdemeanour, and he was accordingly ordered to be taken back to Tothid fithls Bridewell. and to-morrow -be brought from that place to llow- . street Police-o ffi ce, whe re th e depositions will be finally read over, and the witness e s bound over to prosecu t e . It was also intimated that bail would be taken for his appearance on the ch arge o f m i s d emeanour , at the Old Bailey , himself in 5001., and two sureties in 2.50/. each. After the dissolution of the Council about twenty persons were assembled in front of the Home.- office, and about five o'clock, the prisoner was brought out and placed in a cab, in which ha was removed to 'l'othid-fields. His appearance excited the contempt and ridicule of the few spectators who were assembled, and the degraded and crest-fallen expression of the wretched mis creant himself, was quite enough to act as an effectual antidote against the morbid craving after notoriety to which alone such an insane attempt could be attributed. ...NOTHEK ACCOUNT. In the course of the forenoon yesterday Mr. Bean, the father of the prisoner, visited his son at the Tothill-fields Bridewell, but on their meeting the prisoner refused to hold any conversation with him, and maintained a sullen silence to every question put to him. About half-past 12 o'clock he was conveyed from the prison in a hackney-coach by Lieutenant Tracy, the Governor, and Air. Cree, the principal keeper, to the Home-office, for the purpose of undergoing a further exa mination before the Privy Council. Very little interest, in comparison with that evinced in the previous eases of Oxford and Francis, appeared to exist on the part of the public in the investigation, and when the coach containing the prisoner drew up at the front entrance of the Home-effice, Whitehall, scarcely half a dozen persons were present. About the same time the whole of the witnesses, who had assembled at half past 12 o'clock at the station-house in Gardiner's-lane, were brought to the Home-office by Inspector Hughes, A division, and entered by the garden-gate on the parade St. James's-park. Shortly after twelve o'clock the members of the Privy Coun cil began to arrive at the Home-office, and by one o'clock the following members of the Cabinet, &c., had assembled :—Sir Hobert Peel, Baronet, the Lord Chancellor, Duke of Welling ton, Duke of Buctleuch, Lord Liverpool, Lord Delawarr, Lord Ripon, Lord Fitzgerald and Vesy, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Jet sev, Sir George Clerk, Bart., Sir James Graham, Bart , Sir li. Hardinge, Batt., Lord Haddington, Sir F. Pollock (the A ttornev-General), and Sir William Follett (the Solicitor- General ). Mr. Alaule, Solicitor to the Treasury, Mr. Hall, Chief Magistrate of Police, and Mr. Burnaby, Chief Clerk of Bow. street Police-court, were also present. On this occasion more than usual mystery was maintained by all the I,fficials connected with the Home-office on the subject of the investigation, and the reporters fbr the public press, who were in attendance, were not even permitted to enter the room in %‘hich the witnesses were in waiting, as has been the cus tom on previous occasitins, and an application for permission to copy the depositions made after the conclusion of the inquiry was refused. From a source on which every reliance can he placed, we have, however, as on the fist examination, obtained the follow ing particulars respecting what took place (luring the investiga lion before the Privy Council. '[he prisoner on being brought into the room in which the members of the Council were assembled, looked around Lim with apparently considerable alarm, but throughout the exa mination maintained the same sullen and reserved conduct. Tile first witness examined was Henry Webb, a police-con stable, 106 G, who deposed as follows :—On• the evening of Sunday last, the 3d instant, I mustered with the other men about 9 o'clock at the station-house adjoining the Clerken well police-court, for night duty. Inspector Penny read to us a route, giving a description of a deformed youth who had that morning presented a pistol at her Majesty's car riage in the mall in St. James's-park, as the Queen was t ruing to the Chapel Royal, which I immediately considered corresponded with the appearance of the prisoner, who I was previously aware had absconded from his home. I waited until the other men had left the station, and then I instantly com municated my suspicions to Inspector Penny, who directed me to go to the house of the prisoner's father, 14, St. James's buildings, Rosoman-street, Clerkenwell. On reaching the house 1 knocked a single kJ - seek at the door, which was opened by the prisoner, and immediately on my seeing him 1 felt con fident that my suspicions were correct. The prisoner was in his shirt-sleeves, and without his coat or cap. I asked him if his father sir mother were at home. He told me, " No," and made the same answer to my inquiry if he could tell me where his father could be found. I then said to him, " Why, my boy, I understood you had absconded from your home?" He an swered, " Yes ; but I am come back again, and I am sorry for having done so." 1 asked him when he came back, and he said, " About half-past eleven o'clock that day," and added, " I hope I shall turn out a good boy." I then said to him, " Well, if you do not know where your father and soother are gone, perhaps you will have no objection to put on your coat and cap and come along with me, and see if we can find them." and at the same moment I put in v hand on his arm and found that he euivered at my touch, and app. ared agitated all over. I asked him what he was afraid of, arid he said, " Nothing." I also asked where he had been during his absence from his home, and how he had managed to maintain himself, to which he said he had been principally about the fields round 13arnsbary-park, Islington, and that he had twice received a gratuity of 2d. for holding gentlemen's horses, and on another occasion had 3d. given him for fetching a glass of ale for a gentleman on the Hunger ford pier. At that moment the prisoner's mother came up to the doer, and on seeing her I told her I was glad to hear that her son had returned home again, and that I hoped he would never goaway from his home any more. I also toldher I thought after what he had done, and her having given information at the station• house of his having absconded, it would do bins no harm if I were to take him before the inspec tor. I was desirous to get him to the station-house with out his being aware of my object in taking him there. His mother, however, said, " No, I should not like him to be taken to the station•house, although I am much obliged to you for your kindnes." I repeated that I was sure it could do him ne harm if the inspector did give him a lecture; when she, after slime consideration, waved her obj ec ti on t o his going, and I told her to walk on with her son, whil e I would walCbehind. N% hen we got in the station-house the prisoner was further ques tioned as to where he hid slept during the two previous nights, to which he replied that he had slept on both nights in an unfinished house in Barnsbury-street, not having enough money to pay for a bed. He was further asked how he hap pened to come hack exactly at two o'clock on the Sunday ? when he answered that he was so hungry, having nothing to eat, that he was compelled to do so. He was then questioned as to whether or not he had been to any other part of the metropolis besides Islington, and he replied that he had been in the Regent's-park ; but on being also asked if he had not been likewise in St. James's-park, he hastily said, " Oh. I don't know—l have been somewhere at the west-end, and that's enough." His dress and personal appearance were then compared by Inspector Penny with the description in the route, and being found to cm respond in every particular, i was ordered to search him, which I did, but found only a comb and a piece of string about him. A cab was then procured and I accompanied Inspector Penny in conveying the prisoner in the cab to the A station in Gardiner's-lane, Westminster, when he was again searched, and persons who had witnessed the trans action iu. the park sent for. On their arrival at the station they immediately identified the prisoner as the deformed youth they saw present the pistol at her Majesty's carriage. When next examined, the pris oner ascer t a ined the charge on which he was detained he became very much depressed. Inspector Penny, G division, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness, and produced the letter received from the prisoner by his parents on Wednesday, the 2 9 th ult., which he had received from the pr isoner 's father. living in New Tothill strt, v rk s i t r m ig in man Westminster, named ex in corroboration of the e vidence as to what occurred in St. James's-park, given by the Dassetts and other witnesses at the first examination on ct w ‘ o e Wright,V !Worlds,. last. Mr. 'William Bird, broker, of 26, Exmouth-street, Clerken well, was the next witness called in, and was questioned by dif ferent members of the Privy Council as follows : ( The pistol taken from the prisoner having been placed in the hand of the witness) —Do you believe that the pistol pro duced has been discharged since it has been out of your posses sion? Witness (examining the pistol)—No, Ido not think it has been discharged. Will you swear it has not been discharged? Witness—l will swear it has not, and my reason for doing so is, that none of the rust inside the barrel has been removed, which would have been the case if a firing had taken place. W hen did the prisoner now before us first come to your shop? Witness—He came first to my shop about this day fortnight or three weeks, I cannot swear which. 1 can't swear that the prisoner is the person to whom I sold the pistol, but he very much resembles him. What was the sum paid t o you for the pistol ? Witness—To the best of my recollection, 3s. 6d . it was only three shilli ngs . The prisoner (slarply ) Witness—Well, it might be that sum. I am not positive as to which it was. At the time the prisoner purchased the pistol of you, did you or any of your shopmen recollect any peculiar remarks that he might have made? Witness—No, as I have said before, I can not recollect well the circumstances of the sale, but afterwards, on more than one occasion, I had a good deal of conversation with the prisoner. What was the nature of that conversation ? Witness—He came to me on the Tuesday in last week, again on the Wed nesday, and also on the Friday. The prisoner—No, you are wrong. It was on the Thursday. Witness—On the Tuesday w hen the priso ner came he said, producing the pistol, I purchased this pistol of you, and it won't go off." I was very busy at the time, and told him I could not attend to him just then, and he went away. He, however, returned on the following day, and said, Well, this pistol won't go off, and so I have brought it back to you." I then took the pistol out of his hand, and on looking at it said, ~ You foolish fellow, how is it to go off? why, there is no flint to it." I also told him that when the pistol was so!d to him there was a flint to it. The prisoner answered, " Yes, there was, but it was an old one, and I threw it away in the street." What did you say or do then? Witness —Why I carelessly looked at the pistol, and said to the prisoner, " Well, you must not bother me any more, lam very busy now." The prisoner seemed rather displeased at this, and said, " Mind, I shall call again," and went away. On t he Thursday or Friday he again came to the shop, and said, y pistol won't strike fire—l have been trying it again." I asked him what he wanted me to do to it, and he answered, `, why, to put a flint in, and make it strike fire." I asked him what he wanted with a pistol, and if he wanted it to shoot the cats with ? — (Much laughter.) What answer did he give to your question. State the answer explicitly ? Witness—lle prisoner said, A T " I s. O not want it to shoot cats with. We have got no cats at home." Did he say where he lived ? Witn ess — No, be did not. He said, " have got no cats at home. I want it for some thing else," Did you inquire what that something else was ? Witness— No, I did nut. as I considered that the idol bad been sold to dare say y l ou ca n n u fi t g ,, o i t on a e, fl ,, i ,i n n t c a l about y rn o y u l ? ,:nd l in toj m h y im i and the prison er as a t oy to p l ay v .i t h .

Ithen it in for him. The prisoner said, " New you must show me how to fire it ; here's some powder, but it is very coarse, and I am afraid it won't go off." He then gave we some gunpowder. From whe e did the prisoner take the powder he gave you ? Witness—From his waistcoat pocket. It was screwed up in a bit of paper. He gave the paper into my hand, and I un screwed it. 1 then saw that it contained about a quarter of an ounce. It was very coarse powder. I did not inquire of the Prisoner where he had purchased it. I took a little of it, and put it. in the pan of the pistol, and said to him," Now, I'll show you how to fire," and I held the pistol in the proper form. The prisoner watched me very narrowly, ar.d when there was flash in the pan, he clapped his hands, and said, " That'll do, that'll do," in a delighted tone of voice. I then took the flint out, and returned the pistol to the prisoner without it, on seeing w hich he said very dolefully, " Oh, ain't you going to give it to me ?" meaning the flint. I told him I was not ; I had g•ven him one with the pistol when he bought it, and if he had another, he must pay me for it. He then asked me the pike, arid I told him Id. Did the prisoner then purchase the flint ? Witness--Not at that time. He went away with his pistol, but returned in about twenty minutes, and, holding a penny in his hand, said, " I've brought you a penny for that flint, but. you must put it in for me, and then pray let me have another flash." I told him I would put the flint in for him, but I could not be bothered with him any longer. I fixed the flint with a piece of paper round it to make it secure, and it is now in exactly the same state as when I gave it to him. Then you still believe that it has not since been discharged? Witness—l do firmly believe to. Did the prisoner show any great anxiety to have the flint when he came to you again? Witness—Not particularly so, but he seemed to me anxious about its making a fire (flash), and going off well. I noticed that he was very much pleased to see it flash in the pan. Warlsby, a jeweller, residing in Oxford-street, who was well acquainted with the prisoner's handwriting, was next exa mined, and shown the letter produced, which he swore had been written by the prisoner. The prisoner was then removed from the Council Chamber without any of the other witnesses in attendance being called in, and after a private consultation the Council broke up at fcur o'clock. Our reporter has ascertained that the prisoner stands committed to take his trial for a misdemeanour, the capital charge being abandoned, and as a misdemeanour is a bailable offence, it was intimated to the prisoner that, if he could find two sureties in the sum of 2501. each, for his ap pearance at the next sess:ons, he might be liberated from custody. 'I he father of the prisoner was in attendance at the Home.. office during the whole of the examination, but was not called before the Council. About five o'clock the prisoner was conveyed back by Lieu tenant. Tracy to the Tothill-fields Bridewell, where it is most probable he will remain until the period of his trial, the amount of bail required being so large. Lavie, the surgeon to the Tothill-fields Bridewell, in formed our reporter last evening that on visiting the prisoner that morning he found him in the same sullen state, and averse to answering any questions, however unimportant; but he (Mr. Lavie) could not avoid from certain appearances which presented themselves in the prisoner's conduct, coming to the conclusion that ho secretly rejoiced at the notoriety he has gained, which feeling he could but ill conceal. The whole of the witnesses who have been examined in the case are ordered to attend at Bow-street Police-court to-mor row (this day), at half-past 11 o'clock, for the purpose of signing their depositions, &c. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. TRIAL OF NICHOLAS SUISSE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) ISir. Sasse examined—l translated the letter found in Sui.sse's box. It was addressed (as we understood) to 111 r. Brock, and dated April 5, 1842. it was as follows : " I have just received your amiable letter, by which I perceive that I can reckon upon your friendship, which I cannot too notch appreciate, and which lam proud to enjoy. Here is the plan which I have formed. To send, by Brussels, two fine horses, with their coachman and harness. I intend buying for you one of those Brussels carriages, the same as I have seen you drive so often. As to the plate, I am having a service made, for which I expect to pay the duty. As to the stamp, I have no idea of that. I will send the plate to Calais. I shall go through Brussels at any rate, but I am afraid I can not get any betore the 4th June. I give a million of thanks fur your kind advice, but I think ene in my state must be mad to go into business and spoil so fine an independence. I hope I have your kind wishes. Represent me kindly to Madame, &e. (Signed) " NICHOLAS SUISSE." Thomas Cholmondely, examined by Mr. BODKIN-1 am a clerk in the house of Messrs. Hopkinson and Co. No draft has been drawn upon our house by the Marquis during the present year. Cross-examined—l am not aware that Suisse had ever re mitted money through our house to the Continent. 'William Rawlins, examined by Mr. Piitt.urs— I am a silver smith in Coventry-street, Haymarket. I know the prisoner. He came to our house on the 4th April last about two or three o'clock, and left with us 1,8001. on account of an order for plate to the amount of 2,2001., which I had in hand for him. He gave the order for the plate about ten days or a fortnight before that time. I gave him an 1.0. U. for the 1,8001. The by Mr. KELLY—ram m j e r y . N h v i a a s y a r l e l c i a n i l B e d a , n k a n n d o tes. examined quainted with Suisse's hand-writing. I think the writing in the book, and the labelling on the bills, are his hand-writing. I have just examined the bills which were handed into the Court a short time ago. The date of the first payment of the bills paid in 1842 was on the Ist of February, and the last on the Bth. The amount of the whole is 5,058/. 19s. sd. The bills of the year 1840 were paid in 1841, the first payment being on the 21st January, and the last on the Bth April, amounted to 4,464'.. 2s. In examining the other parcels of bills I did not find any of the bills paid in 1842 amongst them. Henry Peter Puller, examined by Mr. PHILLIPS-1 am a surgeon and apothecary, and was in the habit of attending the late Marquis of Hertford. In the month of January he was attacked with bronchitis, from which he recovered, and in the middle of February he was attacked again, and never re covered. He had a difficulty of speech towards the end of his life, but he always appeared to me to be perfectly right in his mind. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER -I frequently saw Suisse with the Marquis when I called on him. I should say Suisse had the entire confidence of his master. Suisse was taken ill on the 16th of February, was confined to his room, great part of the tune in bed, and was certainly not capable of waiting on the Marquis during hls last illness. Suisse was attacked with erysipelas on the chest and head. From the state of the Marquis's body, it must have been a very disagreeable and irksome duty to attend upon him. If his Lordship were properly kept from his state of semi-paralysis, he would require shifting and constant attendance every hour of the day and night. 1 know nothing of the habits of the Mar quis. I did not choose to know them. Sometimes Suisse paid me my fee, sometimes the Marquis gave it me, and sometimes Suisse gave it to the Marquis, and the Marquis gave it to me. Re-examined by Mr. KELLY. —When Suisse gave the money to the Marquis or me, I think he generally went to some place to get it. Did not take it from his pocket. When Suisse was incapable of attending upon the Marquis, in his last ill ness, a man names Foot attended upon him. Foot used also to attend upon the Marquis when Suisse was well, under Suisse's direction. A female, named 'Mademoiselle Henriette, assisted Suisse during the last two or three days of his Lord ship's life. Be the COURT, at the request of Mr. Thessiger—Mr. Croker was with the Marquis two or three days before his death. One night Mr. Croker went to Kensington--the remainder of the time he remained at the Marquis's house. The Marquis was in danger a considerable time before Mr. Croker arrived. Mr. Croker was called by Mr. Kelly, and examined by Mr. THESIGER—I have been very intimate with the late Marquis for the last 30 years. I never supped with him. I have dined with him occasionally. I did not know Mademoiselle Henriette. I knew Miss Borelle. I have dined with her several times at the Marquis's table. Ido not know who she was, or any thing at all about her. Mademoiselle Borelle attended Lord Hert ford, and, in my opinion, much more as a nurse than anything else. Ido not think she lived at Dorchester House. Ido not know whether she used to go there at night, and go away in the morning. She lived in Clarges-street. I never called on her there. 'Che way I ascertained where she lived was as follows: The Marquis took me a drive in his carriage and stopped in Clarges-street. 1 asked him what that was for, and he said, "To take up Felicite Borelle." I said, " Excuse me, I cannot ride in the carriage with you and Felicite Borelle." I gave orders to have Suisse apprehended, on the same day that he was ap prehended. I had known Suisse for twenty years. Ido not exactly know what you mean by being in the entire confidence of the Marquis, but I should say that he was not in his entire confidence. He appeared to be a very faithful and devoted servant. Ide not know that, for the last ten years, Suisse paid large sums of money for the Marquis. I know that hehas been in the habit of doing so for the last few months, because, I have seen the banker's book, which referred to the last few months. Ido not think I was present when Suisse was told that a very large legacy was left to him by his late master. Marquis of Herttord examined by Mr. KELLY-1 did not arrive in England till after the decease of my father. I did not arrive till the 9th March. I had not seen my father since my last residence in England. I recorstmended Suisse to my father 29 years ago as a servant. He had been previously in the employ of an officer in my regiment. My father treated him in a very confidential manner for a servant. Suisse told me on several occasions that he had disposed of some money which he received on a cheque from Messrs. Contts in the pay ment of bills. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—I did not tell Suisse at any time that a legacy had been left to him by my father. He used to come and talk to me on a variety of subjects, and I said to him once, " You are now very rich, and will probably be independent." He very civilly offered to do anything for me that was in his power. I said no, he was now probably inde pendent. Re-examined—l never heard anything about a legacy men tioned to Suisse. I think the remark I made to him was made two or three days before his apprehension. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. T HESIGER then rose to address the Jury on behalf of the prisoner. Supposing that the whole of the case, as stated by the unhappy man at the bar were true ; that he had paid over the balstreo of the monies to his master; he would ask them how it would be possible for him to prove that he had done El, ; and )et they were called upon, on the present occa sion, to reverse every presumption ; they were called on, not only to presume that he was a criminal, but that there was a crime—that he had not accounted for money ; and the prosecu tion attempted to throw upon him the necessity of showing that, which from the continued close confidence which existed be tween him and his mater, would he next to an imposibility. He (Mr. Thesiger) felt himself hampered and harrassed by the particularly delicate situation in which the unfortunate man wis placed. He had nothing but feelings of the deepest grati tude to his roaster and benefactor; he was desirous that the veil should not be lifted up which might disclose circumstances to operate to his advantage; he was almost content to become than expose the character a tacrifice to this prosecution rather ~~ ~ ~ NEVS SUMMARY OF AND Vubitt ii:ptntotto " Who runs may read."

The National thus announces the attempt of the w retch Bean to frighten the Queen The Government has Tees iced from London the intelligence that on the 3d inst. an English man again attempted to fire a pistol at Queen Victoria.. He was perceived in time and disarmed ; but he succeeded us tea caping.

What adds to the unexpectedness, and, we mar add, the incredible enormity of this attempt is, that it took: place on the very day that the entire press announced that the Queen h a d commute d i nto transportation for l i fe the punish ment of death to which Francis had been sentenced. l'he sa vage and impotent monomania, which has emigrated from France to Engl an d, i s one of the gravest symptoms' of the pro found disorders which agitate modern societies." The Courrar Francais thus comments on this last attempt:— " These attempts at assassinatio n , so rapidly repeated among our neighbours beyond the Channel, have henceforth deprived. them of the right of accusing the French nation of want of mo rality, because there are to be found amongst us some insensate and furious men, who have nothing in common with the people of the country in which they happen to be born." During the last month the deposits in the Paris Savings' Bank amounted to 2,941,361 f., by 20,614 depositors, of whom 2,544 were new depositors. The amount of reimbursements in the same period was 2,276,000 f. During the month of June the Paris and Corbel! Railroad conveyed 83,592 passengers, 115 post carriages, and 115 h orses , producing a receipt of 105,89:3f., which, with 7,716 francs for carriage of goods, give a total of 113,609 f. On the St. Ger main Railroad, during the same period, there were 110,632 passengers producing 122,236 f. ; and on the Versailles line (the right bank), 116,660 passengers, producing 135,231 f. PARL' 'AR.Y. The House of Lords did not meet yesterday. The Commons read the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill a, third time and passed it, after a division on an amendment moved by • 111 r. Blackstone to throw the borough open to the neighbouring hundred. The numbers were, 134 to 53. '1 he evening was almost entirely occupied by the adjourned debate on 'Mr. Wallace's motion, which we briefly mention elsewhere. The debate was agall adjourned. .ounzac OPIN The Times, in an article on the distress of the country, has the following remarks:—" People gu on debating about the distress of the country in the House of -Commons with but little chance, we are afraid, of coming to a conclusion which will in any degree avail the sufferers. In most of these case* every legislator has his nostrum, and of course a time of dis tress furnishes an opportunity not to be overlooked for these persons to proclaim to the world bow different would have been the lot of those who are now so painfully ill off if they hro.! but had their way. ]fie are not inclined to think very highly - of the ifs' of such gentlemen. To find fault with all that hat gone before, to suggest remedies which stand in no danger of meeting with the perilous trial of acceptance, to dilate upon what might have been—would have been—ought to have been —is a cheap and easy wisdom ; though, like other cheap articles, it is not a form of wisdom which will stand much rough usage, or merit any very lasting applause. Those who confine themselves, or who principally indulge in these more common-place methods of giving interest to what they have to say, are generally found at last to have done so from the difficulties which they experience in commanding attention without some such appeal ad misericordiam—without using, or at least attempting to use, the distresses of their fellow-crea tures to furnish food for their own vanity." The Post says:—" It is a remarkable. and certainly not se very gratifying circumstance, that upon the second reading of the great measure of her Alajesty's present Government in the House of Lords, no more than sixty-three Members of that noble assembly attended the House. It is very true that no more than four Noble Lords said " Non. content" to the new Tariff Bill, but it is also true that whetra Noble Lord divided the House upon his proposition to throw the Bill out, no more than fifty-nine recorded their votes against his propo sition. The reason of this may be easily understood from the statement of the Duke of Richmond at the close of his very sensible and temperate speech. We believe :hat the greater number of the Peers feel with the Noble Duke, that if the tariff measure had been brought forward in their House last year, when the Whigs held the Government, they could and would have thrown it out ; but now that the measure is brought forward by the leaders of the Conservative party, they knew not what would follow were it thrown out, and are unwilling to run the risk of doing so, though conscientiously opposed to it. Seeing that the measure cannot be prevented, they are anxious not to alarm the farmers and ether country people on the subject. They are unwilling, by exciting alarm, to add to the difficulties of those who govern the country. They are themselves afraid of the consequences, but do not like to spread their fears abroad ! !" _ We take the following from the Herald :—" Lord Mont eagle, who, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, never once thought of asking the Legislature to re-consider the subject of import duties, and whose brightest official freak was to w ilfully and wantonly involve the country by his penny postage scheme in a permanent financial deficiency, hid actually the unblush ing audacity to sneer and peek at the new tariff as far beneath the grandeur of his commercial policy, claimed the principles on which it was constructed as his own, and roundly abused the Government because so much good had been accomplished for the people by other than Whig intervention. Lord Stanhope, who had given such ample and kind proof *hat he is really what he aims ta be, the friend and protector of helpless poverty, on the other hand, is angry with Government because they have removed the prohibition against the importation of foreign cattle, and thus opened the means of lowering the cost of animal food to the poor, and actually warns the Legislature that the consequences of cheap meat will be the general diso:ganisation of society—a new distribution of political power--and universal suffrage. This prophetic anticipation of what the future has in store for us is made on the authority of uo less a person than Mr. Feargus O'Connor, an individuil who tires and subsists by outrageous agitation." The Chronicle, in reference to the case - of Colonel Dundee says :—" The satisfactory answer which was given on Tuesday, in the House of Commons, to Lord Wursley's question re specting Colonel Henry Dundas, establishes the fact that there is now a vacancy in the list of her Majesty's Aides-de-Camp. and that abuse of the Queen has ceased to be a recommenda tion Ns ith the authorities at the Horse-guards. It is further to be hoped that this answer may encourage some member of the Upper House to inquire of the Duke of Buccleuch whether it be true—that he, a Cabinet Minister, and his Duchess, the principal lady in her Majesty's Household, had invited to a public entertainment which he gave to the Queen, a person who had been called to account for publicly and grossly abusing her Majesty. We fear that this question can only be answered in the affirmative; and the Duke of Bucchsuch's character as a gentleman forbids the supposition that the obnoxious invitation was advertently given. Still, we would ask his Grace what would have been his own feelings, if, at an assembly of which he and his Duchess had been the prominent guests, he should have chanced to have met a man who had publicly abused the Duchess? We cannot, moreover, forget that the Duke, how ever personally inoffensive, is a conspicuous member of a party, which, ever since her Majesty's accession to the throne, has been employed in vituperating and insulting her—that the leading organ of that party was occupied, daily occupied, in misrepresenting her actions and villifying her character—that an attempt was made by this party (which was only defeated by the good sense and good feeling of the Queen Dowager) to set up a rival Court--that her Majesty was bespattered front the pulpit by Tory parsons, and hissed on the race-conree by Tory Peeresses—and that, finally, since the Tories have been in power, two attempts in one month have been made upon the Queen's life."

The anniversary of the Bethlem and Bridewell Hospitals was celebrated on Monday last, upwards of 1.50 noblemen and gentlemen being present. From the Report it appeared that the income of the establishment arising from the munificence of individuals reached 25,000/. per annum. Nearly 400 in mates of Bethlem were suffering under frightful maladies. There were 200 young persons in the house of occupation learn ing trades; and as many as 1,570 had passed through Bridewell Hospital, being a number greater than the number disposed of in ally former year, by 250. LAW AND POLICE. The Wakefield House of Correction, according to a Sheffield paper, contained no fewer than 820 prisoners on Saturday last. It was stated yesterday, at a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Williams and Mottram, in the Bankruptcy Court, that there were sufficient assets to declare a diyidend, supposed to be 2s. 6d. its the pound, the amount of which, however, will be officially announced in a few days. Since the commencement of the Old Bailey Sessions 68 prisoners have been added to the calendar, making the entire number 165.
