----- riot undertake not to produce evidence. It would be a great convenience to him not to proceed at that late hour, and he would be able in the miming to show that there wan no evidence to go to the jury, and that the plaintiff sticluld be non-snited. The CALM BARON said he would read over the notes to see how the evidence exactly stood. The Court then rose. SATURDAY. BIRCH V. SIR WILLIAM SOMERVILLE. Thie day, as yesterday, the court was full, but not in oonveniently crowded, owbeg to the previous arrange ments of the High Sheriff, and good order and discipline of the police force under the command of Mr. Inspector At half-past ten o'clock the Chief Justice entered, and the names of the jury having been called over, the Court called upon Mr. Brewster , Q.C., to proceed, saying there was a case to go to the jury. Mr. BREWSTER then proceeded to say that it was his intention to call for a non-suit, but as there was evidence to go to a jury, he felt it his duty to proceed. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the jury at greet length, contending that there was not the slightest ground for a claim on the defendant, and that the action was an attempt to extort money. He stated that the bill of particulars, furnished in this case, was similar to that furnished to Lord Clarendon, and in setisfection of which a deed of release had been exe cuted by the plaintiff, in receipt of 2,000 f. The Learned Gentleman read a number of letters from the plaintiff, including one addressed to Lord John Ruesell, Stating his intention to proceed at law against Sir William Somerville, ler payment of his services to the Government, in maintaining the cause of law and order, from the beginning of 18 4 S to the end of 18:50. m uch length on th e evi dence Brewster commented at Pence of the plaintiff, a nd went through the various topics connected with the case. The a idress of the Learned Gentlemen occupied the Court from halt-past ten until nearly half -past three o'clock. When he had concluded, and afee. Mr. Genie had been examined i n proof of some documentary evidence for the defence, Mr. Kiisocles, M.P., was heard in reply to evidence. The Hon. a nd Learned Gentleman spoke for about an hour, an d, in the cnurs9 of his address, he commented with some severity Upon the conduct of Government officer; in having first subsidised the proprietor of a newspaper by corrupti• g him with money, caressing him to their breasts, and then rejecting him when the altered circumstances of the couLtry enabled them to di:spells,' with his services. The C HIEF JUSTICE, in his cherge to the jury, pro ceeded at gre it reagrn to auslyz3 the evidence. After whi..th the jury retired, and after a delay of seven mi nutes returned into court with a verdict for the defen dant, k 7 sApnce costs. IIIPORrANT SALES IN THE ENCUMBERED COURT. Since ;he , peninc, of the Commission a more re meltable and interesting prop, rty than that offered yes tetd4y—consisting of the estates of Mr. Hyde, of Castle hyde—hls not been announced for sale; and a large attendance of capitalists wai attracted on the occasion. It comprises fee-simple and freehold estates in the coun ties of Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary, including the demesne lands and mansion-house of Cnstlehyde, ad joininr, the river Blackwa er, and famous in the south for natural beauty and excpthi:o taste in all the details 'of arrangement.

The rates at which this property was sold ranged from twelve to eighteen years' purchase on the pros. ut lettings and estimated value (exclusive of timber), and se me head-rents brought rates as high as twenty t' twetry-five years' purchase.

MURDER OF THOMAS BATESON, The northern k)urrials, received this morning, contain I accounts of the murder of Thomas Batc•son, E>q , J.P., brother of Sir Robert 13,,teson, Bart., of Carstruse, I.),rry, and agent ed . the estates 01 L Templeton, in the county of 111ontv4han. The unfc,rainate gentleman Nveu attaulked on Thursday afterno in, at Corratenty, near Casll.blaney (on his return from a moda farm whore many labourers are ,?mployed), by several persons armed with Gre-arms and bludgeons, and was wounded nttd beaton in es dreadful a manne r that he remained insensible on the road, and expired soon after he hsd bec7; removed to hie hotel in that town. A brother aurgistrate of Mr. Buteson, in a letter dated yesterday (F,Cny) morning, gives the follJwingt account of the savage attack upon him : " On yesterday, our poor friend, Bateson, was at petty sessions with me and others of the insgistrates. Atter sessions he went to see his farm, and while he was re tur,:i-g, beta...en four and five o'clock in the ty, , ning, when close to Mr. Hunt's gate, he was met by three rneu, one wh ,, m fled at htm, but v:ithout ctli-et. They then attrieketi him with the halts of their pistol::, and horribly haat in his shell—one of them using a stone, which was found to-day stained with blood, and having hair twin it. The pistols hays also been tonna, but as yet no clue to this murderers. Dr. Irc.s.ciag, of Monaglims, was inttanly s: nt for. On his arrival ho found en (-X. - , niiii:ttice that a Isrge fneturc had been wade in the a',11!1, and a pertiou of the brain had protruded. Poor Itateson still lives, but there is scarcely a ehauce of his recovery. He has not sp, kt n since the occurrence, ex cept a few wild words, as if still engaged in battling with his murderers.' Luer accounts mention that Mr. Bateson was re lieved from his sufferings yesterday. All accounts agree iu stating that he bore the most excellent nharact , .r as a kind gent and impsnial naagistrate, and a good em- Dloyer. As the Louth Advertiser remarks, "He was a man of the meat bpivvoleut disposition, and in giving charity he never asked the creed of the object. Ho was instrumental in effeksAng an abaterrn - ,rit in the rents of the teEiantry; he caused the whole county teas ti be paid on the estate, and he pve full employment to every tenant." This murder is ascribed to itibbonisin, like those of Mr. Mauleverer and Mr Coulter; and it is stated that the neighbourhood where it occurred is very populous. Already two persons have been arrested on suspicion. COURT CIRCULAR.

Obleninix LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1851. Bloodshed has, happily, ceased in Paris, and the population of France will now have leisure to review past occurrences with a certain degree of calmness, so as to arrive at some deliberate and dispassionate conclusion. Very fortunately for the people of that country, they are enabled to express their sentiments by means of Universal Suffrage, and under the pro tection of the Ballot—their votes, consequently, announcing the real views of the nation upon the question of their own government. Sunday, the 14th of this present December, will witness the commencement of the balloting, and Sunday, the 21st instant, its termination. Until then it is hoped that the community will await with patience the ut- .erance of the opinions entertained by the public as to the settlement of existing difficulties. Whatever may be the feelings with which mere spec tators have regarded the recent coup ditat style or manner of the investigation. A highly re- , spectable special jury had been selected, every wit ness requested • by the plaintiff was in attendance — even the representative of the SOVEREIGN entered the box, and answered clearly and explicitly the in terrogatories exhibited on behalf of the plaintiff. There was no attempt atimystification or conceal ment. The inquiry being insisted on, the fullest in formation was afforded. The plaintiff was enabled, under the new Law of Evidence Act, to give testi mony in his own favour, so that he could not only explain the entire transactions that had taken place, and the grounds upon which he sought a verdict at the hands of the jury, but he could detail his own im pressions on all doubtful points, so that if rea sonable they might be accepted by the jury. He had also the assistance of advocates not inferior to any that could be procured in any part of the world. If, then, the case proved a total failure, if it clearly and unequivocally broke down, it must be ascribed to its own demerits, and not to any disadvantage under which the plaintiff laboured during the:progress of the inquiry. On behalf of public journalism, we must strenuously and indignantly protest against the views and opinions put forward by the plaintiff in the course of his evi— dence. According to his own statement, he was wil of Louis NAPOLEON, those lookers-on should, at least, suppress their vituperations upon the occurrence until the ideas entertained by the French multitude itself has been authoritatively pronounced. The question at issue is one affecting the interests of the Republic of France, and it is consequently to the citizens of that Republic that we should turn for the judgment to be passed upon the leader of the present Adminis tration. The justification or the condemnation of the coup d'etat resolved upon by the PRESIDENT on Tuesday, the 2d of December, will be the result of the approaching election by the Ballot and by Universal Suffrage. In that election the people of France will themselves decide whether late events were in their nature Criminal or Patriotic. Before the decision announced by the entire country the people of surrounding nations must bow their own views in acknowledgment. It is not for England to dictate to France what conclusion she has arrived at in reference to her government. Neither is it for Belgium, or for Spain, or for any other of the powers and principalities of Christendom. It is to herself alone that France must look for this final determina tion. She it is that must decide pro or con. in this period of embarrassment. Whatever her children ling to prostitute his pen by writing for a pecuniary consideration in the "very arduous task" of at tempting to support a Government that was so un popular, and that he conceived to be "influenced by very little :principle." He was, however, quite willing to undertake all the odium and disgrace at tendant upon his venality, provided ,he received an adequate remuneration. That, however, was left totally unsettled—the stipend was not fixed. Certain sums were paid ; for, unfortunately, and to the deep discredit of the Irish Government, it appears that the proffered services of the hireling were accepted, and money or cheques actually handed over as a return for the support which he afforded. But these payments or presents, whichever they may be considered, were regarded by the VICEROY as marks of gratitude for past services, while the plaintiff gave credit for them as small instalments of the debt that was accruing day by day. He certainly appears to have estimated his literary services at rather a high figure—at a rate which would astonish the weak ; minds of the magnates of the "Row" if claimed by one of their authors. The plaintiff actually received 3,700/. in hard cash, including 2,0001. obtained from the Earl of CLARENDON under the threat of legal proceedings, and accepted as fnll satisfaction. According to the bill of particulars, however, he claimed no less than 701. fur every article. This was less than he estimated his services at on the table, when be deliberately swore that he thought " 5,000/. a year would not be too much." It, however, appeared that he was at the same time paying the gentlemen who actually wrote many of these brilliant effusions, or, as he would have it, the amanuensis who transferred to paper the directions which he received from London, for these and other services, the handsome and very liberal salary of 30s. a week, while he was demanding 961. for himself. After such confessions, and after the payment of such enormous sums, there could not be much doubt as to the decision at which the jury would ultimately arrive, even if the full and unconditional release of all claims had not been produced. None can pity Mr. Bract' for the exposure and expense that he has brought on himself. We regret that the Earl of CLARENDON should be in any way implicated in such a transaction. We must, however, remember that it was in 1848, when the Young Ireland mania was prevailing, and when measures were required that would not for a moment be thought of under other circumstances, and also that his EXCELLENCY stipulated merely for articles in support of law and order, and declared that he cared not what was said of himself personally, 1 or of the Administration with which he was connected. may deem most advisable under existing circumstances they can now declare—each adult citizen amongst them speaking from the dictates of his own individual judgment. Should France declare herself for this policy or for that—the one sanctified by the selection must be recognised by the rest of the world as en titled to the popular consideration. Any anxiety that may hitherto have been f,lt as to the question of secret voting has now been entirely and satisfactorily dissipated. The decree of the PRESIDENT announcing the complete re-establishment of the Ballot has been followed by a letter addressed to the Minister of War, in which LOUIS NAPOLEON explains his personal sentiments upon the matter to General ST. ARNAUD in very ex• plicit and decisive language. Aware that the suf frages of the army had already been given openly by means of the system of register authorized prior to the revival of the Ballot, the PaeseDeeT observes—" As the soldiers who have given in a negative vote might apprehend that it would have the effect of exercising an untoward influence on their career, it is of importance to set their minds at rest. Be good enough, therefore, without delay, to make known to the army that if the mode in which it has voted is different from that according to which the other citizens will vote, it shall be the same fur it ; that is to say, I wish to be ignorant of the names of those who have voted against me. Consequently, the taking of the vctes once terminated and duly verified, I beg of you to order that the registry may be burnt." A. course like this is honourable and straightforward. Not satisfied, however, with even this candid avowal of the wishes entertained by himself in regard to the perfect freedom of suffrage to be ex ercised by the multitude, the PRESIDENT has caused his decree and his letter to be endorsed, as it were, by a proclamation to a similar effect, issued from the office and under the signature of M. DE MoRNY, the Minister of the Interior. At the close of this im portant document it is declared, " The PRESIDENT of the Republic desires that all electors shall be com pletely at liberty in the expression of their votes, whether they exercise public functions or not, and whether they belong to the civil pro. fessions or to the army. Absolute indepen dence, complete liberty of voting, is what Louts NAPOLEON desires to see established." Fortunately for the people of France these are not idle words, inas much as the country actually possesses the two ad vantages of the Ballot and Universal Suffrage. Among the particulars comprised in the latest dis patches received from Paris, it will be seen that there is a formal announcement of the liberation of M• TRIERS. The fact of this remarkable man being set at large once more, and this with such unexpected promptitude, lets the public, we conceive, into two rather important secrets, such as might otherwise have remained concealed, or at least doubtful, but for some such glaring revelation It shows that the position of the PRESIDENT at this moment must be strong indeed, to allow him thus coolly to release from confinement one of the most dangerous politicians in France. It shows, moreover, that M. TRIERS is prepared to give in his adhesion to the Government. The announcement will consequently be viewed by the majority as very significant in its character, and as one also promising largely as to the maintenance of public tranquillity. Recent events have not only been followed by the perfect restoration of peace in Paris, but by the continuance of order among the departments. The journals of the French capital which have reviewed these occurrences are the Patrie and the Constitutionnel, and from the columns of each the truth is sufficiently apparent that the quietude of the metropolis has been thoroughly re-established. In reference to the position of affairs immediately prior to the coup d'etat, the last-mentioned organ records the following incident. " The celebrated M. CHARLES LAGRANGE," it says," now confined in the prison Mazes, saw General LEFLO, who bad been just arrested in full uniform, brought in. He advanced towards him laughing, and said, We wanted to get him into the snare, and he has been beforehand with us. Faith, General, it is fa mously played.' These words," says the Constitutionnel, " completely sum up the question of the struggle be tween the two Powers," meaning the Assembly and the PRESIDENT. In reality, it was, according to the phrase of BURNS, "do or die," with Lours NAPO LEON. The PRESIDENT has selected the former in preference to the latter branch of the alternative : and the people of France will now have to decide themselves as to the wisdom or the folly of that selection. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. TRANQUILLITY IN PARIS. BUSINESS RESUMED AS USUAL. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. Tranquillity in Paris was completely restored cn Saturday ; the troops no longer occupied the streets, carriages and foot passengers traversed the public ways as usual, and the theatres were open in the evening. At the Bourse the funds continued to rise. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following semi-official notice : " Two journals of London—the Morning Chronicle, and the Globe copying the former—publish, concerning the acts of the Government and the deeds of the 2d De- comber, the most odious and absurd calumnies. We are authorised to give these journals, whose introduction into France is forbidden, the most complete contradic tion. We learn that the correspondents have received to-day the order to quit France." The same journal publishes a decree, placing the departments of the Allier and the Soane-et-Loire in a state of siege. Another decree restores the church of St. GeneviZve, in Paris (the Pantheon), to its original object—that The long-expected and anxiously looked-for trial in the cause of " Birch v. Somerville" has come off. The wonderful disclosures have been made—the full value of the oracular hints and positive assertions that were put forward has been ascertained—the witnesses have been examined—the jury having beard the evidence on either side, the speeches of the eminent counsel for plaintiff and defendant, have re returned their verdict—and yet the:lrish Government has not been annihilated. The Earl of CLARENDON has not fled in dismay from the Castle. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE still ventures to hold up his head amongst honest men, and his friends do not feel that anything has transpired to retard his anticipated elevation to the Upper House, so soon as the abolition of the Brummage m co un t er f e i t o f R oyalty may enable the Wh Iga to di s p ense w i th his services in the represen tative branch of the Legislature. No injury has been 'Aided on any p ar t y except the plaintiff himself, who has literally taken nothing by his motion, but will, on the contrary, have to satisfy the costs of the Right Hon. Baron et whom h e so recklessly dragged before the public, and compelled to defend himself from the gross extortion attempted to be practised. The I t p_a_n.iff had nothing to ooraplan, o f as to the MON D A Y EVENING, mitted itself vanquished. Success was infallible; it was owing to the energy of the troops and the spirit of order 1 which animates them; generals, officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, displayed the greatest ardour. The ge neral-in-chief, Megnan, is still incessantly employed in taking measures for maintaining order. Nothing has been forgotten for securing the welfare and repose of the troops, and at the same time the efficacious -and op portune employment of force. Yesterday his generals were recommended to protect the circulation of vehicles interrupted on the preceding day. Orders were also given to facilitate everywhere the resumption of business. " " In the combats of the 4th and sth," says the Con stitutionnel, " only half of the army of Paris was em ployed. Not a battalion of the neighbouring garri sons was called on to act. A judgment may be formed, from the powerful reserves which the Go vernment disposes of, of the vigorous repression which any new attempt at insurrection would be sure to meet with. Every one will convince hi mself of the admirable arrangements made by General MAGNAN, and of the rare precision with w hich the various movements were executed by the Generals under his orders." The 72d Regiment, which attacked the great bar ricade, suffered severely. Lieut:-Colonel LOBEAU and thirty-eight men were killed, and the Colonel and several men severely wounded. This regiment had been stationed at St. Cloud, the residence of Louis NAPOLEON, during the whole of the recess. On Friday in the Rue Clery several persona totally unconnected with the " insurrection" lost tb eir lives, in consequence of a butcher's boy having cried out, " Vive la Republique ! a bas Napoleon !" us a de tachment of Lancers and infantry were passin g. The infantry fired and the Lancers charged. The boy escaped unhurt, but several persons standing at their shopdoors were wounded. A wholesale cotton mer chant, who went up to a garret to see what was passing, was shot through the bead. Another, a wealthy merchant, who was in the act of giving orders to his concierge to shut the gates, was wounded by a Lancer, who singly pursued the mob into a courtyard. Four National Guards were shot dead by the Chasseurs de Vincennes. The following proclamation has been issued : " The President of the Republic and his Government will not hesitate to employ any measure calculated to maintain order and save society, but they wihl always know how to pay attention to the voice of public. opinipn, and to the wishes of well inclined persons. T hey have not hesitated to Change a mode of voting which they had borrowed from precedents in history, but which, in the actual state of our electoral habits, did not appear to sufficiently ensure the independence of the vo ;es given. The President of the Republic desires that all the elec tors shall be completely at liberty in the expression of their vote, whether they exercise public fun ctions or not, and whether they belong to the civil prof etsions or to the army. Absolute independence, complete liberty of voting, is what Louis Napoleon desires to see esta blished. "DE MORNIr, " Paris, Dec. 5. Minister of the In terior." The General Committee for the Reviiii , an of the Constitution has addressed the following let ter to its correspondents : " Monsieur,—Our Committee has not ceased to pursue its object—the revision of the Constitution of 1848. Two millions of petitioners, a great number of councils of arrondissement, the almost unanimity of the Councils- General, and 448 representatives, have acted e nd voted in the same sense, but all these efforts remained power less. The safety of the country has dictated the measures which the President of the Republic has just ~taken. The electoral comitia are convoked; the people. is called on to rote a new Constitution, which, whilst mriintaining the conquests of 'B9, will preserve France from anarchy and restore to her her strength and her future. In this solemn decision so patriotically pronounced by Louis Napoleon, it is the people which is to pronounce. You have, Monsieur, by your sincere co-operation aided our committee to fulfil its task; permit it to count more than ever on your sympathetic support to insure to the propo sition of the President of the Republic the most ti.nposing majority.— Receive, &c., PEPIN•LEHALLEUR, president; GItYaRD-DELALAIN, vice-president; P. LAVOLLEE, vice-president; DE BEAUMONT-VASSY, secretary; BONNET DE MAL BEARE, secretary; BRISSON, MAX, KONIGS WARTER. PORRIQUET, P. DE TASCHER, AMEDEE THAYER." "P.S. The gravity of the circumstances and the ab sence of several members have not allowed the com mittee to be convoked in a regular manner; and con sequently the above signatures only engage their authors." The PRESIDENT of the Republic has just addressed the following letter to the Minister of War : "My dear General,—l had adopted the mode of voting which consists of each person giving his signa ture, because that mode, employed formerly, appeared to me to ensure more effectually the sincerity of the election; but, yielding to the serious objections made, and to just representations, I have, as you are aware, just issued a decree which changes the manner of voting. The suffrages of the army are almost entirely given, and I am delighted to think that there will be tound but au inconsiderable number who have voted against me. Yet as the soldiers, who have given in a negative vote, might apprehend that it would have the effect of exer cising an untoward influence on their career, it is of importance to sot their minds at rest. Be good enough, therefore, without delay to make known to the army that if the mode in which it has voted is different from that according to which the other citizens will vote, it shall be the same for it, that is to say, I wish to be ignorant of the names of those who have voted against me. Consequently the taking of the votes once terminated and duly verified, I beg of you to order that the registers may be burnt. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The Minister of War has addressed the following proclamation to the army, dated Thursday night : " Soldiers I—You have to-day accomplished a great act of your military life. You have preserved the coun try from anarchy and pillage, and saved the Republic. You have shown yourselves what you will always be— brave, devoted, and indefatigable. France admires you, and thanks you. The President of the Republic will never forget your devotedness. Victory could not be doubtful; the true people, all honest men, are with you. In all the garrisons of France your companions in arms are proud of you, and will, when called on, follow your example. of religion. M.

The Prefecture of the department of the Cher has issued the following : Bourges, 4th Dec., ten o'clock in the morning. " Grave disturbance broke out yesterday at Saint Amand. Armed grcups assembled ; one of them sur rounded and ill-treated the sub prefect and the commis sary of police; the latter having been seized, struck, and knocked down, killed with a pistol the man who menaced his life. The sub-prefect, the authorities, the gendarmerie, the grenadiers of the 41st, the whole company of artillery of the national guard, the fire men, and numerous voluntef rs, were promptly on foot, and their energy sufficed to re establish: order in the town. The commissary of police, M. Lambert, admirable f.ir his devotedness during the cholera in 1849, proved himself as coura geous in presence of the onieute. The Remond family, who hold the keys of the beltry, resisted with arms in hand an armed band, who wished to sound the tocsin. Men of order have proved themselves unanimous and resolved at Saint Amand, as they were at Sancerre. The prefect, the general, the procureur-general, left in the night with 200 men, cavalry and infantry, and must have arrived at an early hour. The greatest tranquillity prevails at Bongos, Vierzon, Aubigny, Sancerre, and in the rest of the department." By decree of the General commanding the depart ment, the National Guards of the communes of St. Amand, Bessais, Arpheuille, and Uzey le Venon are to be disarmed. We read in the Constitutirnnel—" The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received dispatches from a con siderable number of diplomatic agents of the Govern ment, all declaring that the events of December 2 have been viewed abroad in the most favourable manner. The letters which we receive from all the great towns in the proximity of France corroborate this intelligence." The following representatives are still at Mont Valerien :—Generals Oadinot and Lauriston, Thuriot de la Rosiere, Piscatory, Pascal Duprat, Laborde, Benier, Emile Perin, Eugueno Sue, Rigal, Legarde, Renaud, Turgolle, &c.

The Austrian Ministerial Oesterreichische Corre spondenz of the 3d inst. declares in favour of M. BONAPARTE and his Government. This paper says : " One thing i 3 certain—any power in France which promises to conduct that country from anarchy to a firm and orderly state of affairs, which promises to es tablish authority and to maintain the sacred foundations of social order, may rely not only on the gratitude of all friends of order in France, but also in all other countries of the continent of Europe."

On the frontier of Rio Grande smuggling is now carried on to a great extent. In Jamaica the cholera continues fatal in several parts of the island. A gale had been experienced near Black River, doing considerable damage to the shipping. In Demerara the weather was favourable, and the planters were getting in their crops as fast as they could. The shipping in the Demerara river was loading rapidly. The market was well supplied with provisions. We refer our readers to an advertisement which appears in another column, announcing the formation of a company to work scientifically and economically the auriferous deposits of the Bathurst district of Australia.
