On Thursday we called upon the " working classes" to make some distinct and energetic effort in order, at the same time, to secure the apprehension of Mrs. SLOANE, and to testify their own abhorrence of the atrocious acts laid to her charge, and of the infa tnous conduct systematically punned towards a help less and friendless orphan who had been consigned to her care and protection. We have no doubt that the matter will be closely followed up, and that the ‘` working el sses" will act in a manner worthy of Euglishmen,who have ever exhibited the utmost detes tation of all cruelty and oppression, a detestation which increases in intensity according to the weak ness of the victim. We now invite the public atten tion to another case, to which we briefly . alluded on the 24th ultimo, which may properly bfs taken into consideration at the same time ; the facts and circum stances of which are fully detailed in a letter which will be found in anctber part of this day ''z impression. The writer (Mr. MONTAGUE) exhibited the most praiseworthy interest in the case. Wisth the most disinterested humanity he took up the cause of the orphan child, and spared no exertions to bring her infamous persecutors to justice. Sed Diis aliter sam. The fees for the indictment were not forth coming, and the clerk of the indictments, although entrusted with the performance of public duties of the most important character, could not stir without the usual sop to the official Cerberus, which it appears is absolutely necessary before the machinery of the criminal law can be set in motion. When the police sergeant who had the management of the case applied for the bill of indictment he was asked for "the fees." He replied " that they could not be paid—the prosecutrix is a child." " Where is her mother ?" inquired the clerk. " She has no mother," answered the sergeant. " Where is her father ?" " She has none, she is a friendless child." The worthy official manifestly thought it a gross piece of impertinence for " a friendless child" to complain of any ill-treat. ment, however atrocious. What, seek the protection of the law without paying the preliminary fees Never was such audacity heard of ; but he would take care the practice should not be sanctioned where he had any power. What though the unfor tunate child had been defiled at an age when, according to the wise provisions of the law, she was deemed in capable of " consenting ;" though the prospects of her life were blasted and she was deprived of her in nocence—which could never be restored—by the person who had taken upon himself the duties of a parent and protector ; what though he had added to his infamy by flogging the wretched ' victim with a riding-whip and a cane, until "her neck, shoulders, abdomen, and lower extremities" were covered with wounds and scars, " as if pieces of flesh had been cut out !!" and the miserable child sought refuge in flight, taking refuge with ber nurse, the only human being to whom she could look for assistance—it was all nothing to the worthy clerk. He only knew that he did not receive his ordinary fee, and be was quite resolved that there should be no indictment. The witnesses were all in attend ance ; by a refined mockery they were kept in the waiting-room. The insulted official would not con descend to tell them that their services were not re quired, and that he would not stir without receiving his honorarium. Had he mentioned his stern re• solution, it is probable that something might have been collected to satisfy the demand ; but he would not condescend to give any hint. The insult must be expiated, and the escape of ADOLPHE DE AVER DOSS' facilitated, who, if the statements sworn to before the police magistrate were established before a jury, could henceforward only be classed with the SLOANES and BIRDS. We should scarcely have believed that any per son presiding on the bench of justice would have lent himself to such a project. But by whatever motives he might be influenced, whether anxious to render prose cutors more active, or clerks more expeditious, Ser• geant ADAMS would make no allowance ; the grand jury were forthwith discharged without any bill having been submitted for their consideration, and ADOLPHE DE WERDINSKI was discharged without a trial, to laud the impartiality of the British law and the equal protection afforded to all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects, the poor as well as the rich. Should such things be tolerated ? Do not the matters above alluded to speak trumpet-tongued as to the necessity for a public prosecutor. If we had such an officer, ADOLPHE DE WERDINSKI would have had an opportunity of showing that the charge was unfounded, if such were the fact, or, if convicted, ho would have expiated his offence by enduring a severe although most inadequate punishment. He has escaped owing to the cupidity of the clerk and the petulance of the judge, but we trust that it is only for a time. As no bills of indictment were disposed of, or even pre ferred, the matter may be investigated de novo. We are quite convinced that the witnesses will readily encounter the annoyance, loss of time, and expendi ture inseparable from any attendance before a court of justice, and also that the " working classes" will provide the funds necessary for placing MARY ANNE RICHARDS in a position where she may, by good con duct, earn an honest livelihood, and forget the sor rows, humiliation, and degradation of her youthful life, and by which she may also be enabled to satisfy the fees, without which, it appears, her oppressor and defiler cannot be brought to justice. " Truth is stranger than fiction." The experience of every day confirms the truth of the adage. There are matters of constant occurrence in the heart of the metropolis, and under the very eyes of police and detectives, which, if narrated by the novelist, would be regarded as unnatural, and pooh-poohed by the critics as strained and exaggerated recitals. The villain of the tale, who excites the horror and disgust of the readers, is by no means so thoroughly de praved, end does not exhibit such a degree of reckless audacity in carrying out his nefarious projects, as the villain of real life, some of whose actions are brought to light before a judge and jury at the Central Cri minal Court. . The case of MosEs BARNETT, who was convicted on Tuesday of receiving goods, knowing them to be stolen, and who was on the following day sentenced to transportation for ten years, is one of peculiar atrocity, forcibly recalling the worst features of FAGIN, one of the most powerful impersonations that has ever emanated from the gifted pen of CHARLES DICKENS. We see the tempter and instructor in vice drawing his victim forward step by step, until he has him thoroughly imbued in crime ; at first, before the neophyte is involved in his meshes, inquiring into his position with affected sympathy, and deploring the lowness of his wages and the badness of the situation, where " no perquisites were allowed," and exciting the anger of his victim by speaking of " younger and smaller boys who were getting a good deal more money ;" then suggesting a mode of im proving his slender finances by bringing an ounce out of each sample box of indigo in his master's warehouse, adding that if " he brought a hundred ounces the kind and tender-hearted Jew would buy them of him." There was much skill in the mode in which the bait was concealed ; no direct rob bery was proposed in the first instance, nothing but an ounce from each sample, which his position would enable him to take without danger. As the tempter put it, it could scarcely be regarded as a theft. The boy answered him, in place of rejecting his proposals with indignation, by uttering some common-place about "an honest penny being worth a silver shil ling," in a tone which rendered the prisoner certain of his prey. He did not declare his intention of giving information as to the proposition that had been made, and therefore, the " worthy dealer " dogged his footsteps with great pertinacity, always asking him if he had made up his mind. If " the woman who deliberates is lost," the lad who takes time to con sider upon a question of honesty or dishonesty, and continues any intercourse with the tempter, is masked for destruction. It is utterly useless to endeavour to avoid the snare while he flutters about it, and converses coolly on the subject. The moment that he feels any particular want, that any strange fancy (which the experienced tutor will take care to excite) remains ungratified, he will walk deliberately into the net. As soon as " the regular employment" ceased, and the boy SELLERS could no longer indulge his taste for "pastry, tobacco, apples, and nuts," he was at the disposal of the complaisant and obliging Mr. BARNETT. On the 6th of December he was i n a "brown study," or as h e hi mse lf s t y l e d istt,al?‘dthinking," at Crutched-friars, when the prisoner came up, who instantly saw that the time had ar rived when he was to profit by his labours of the previous month. He accosted the youth with a smile, demanding " what he was breaking his head about when the golden ball was so near his hand," and again asked "if he had made up his mini." On this occasion there was no snore hesitation, SELLERS at once answered that he had, and said he would bring some down the following mornin g ; but it was the prisoner told not to do so as it was his " Shabboth," and to call on the following Monday, at the same time giving his address, the " spider's web" which the "silly fly" w as to visit. The first fruit of this instruction was 51b. of indigo, which the boy carried off. lie had taken the precaution of weighing it previously, to ascertain the exact amount, entertaining a wholesome distrust of his accomplice, and perhaps not placing full confidence in the, accuracy of the adage of " honour among thieves." The result justified his fears. BARNETT pretended to weigh it, and said there was 31b., but on being told there was more, he said he had made a mis- take. He then gave him as., or Is. per pound, for what was proved to be worth from ss. to is. The amount of the " fence's" profits'mayibe thus.estimated, even if the payment be made in the current coin of the realm, and without any " dealing" from which further gain may be realized. The next day 4lbs. more of indigo were carried to the den, and the Jew wanted his young accomplice to take " a meerschaum pipe" for 63., or about three times its intrinsic value, offer ing "to trust to his generosity to bring 21bs. more indigo" in full payment. This handsome offer was, however, rejected. Some cochineal was next pur loined and disposed of in the same manner, and i at the same price —viz., ls. per pound, the following day slbs. of indigo. This activity excited the admiration of the Jew, he applauded the talents of this juvenile criminal, telling him" that he was going on silly how, and bringing it as a maid drinks," but tempering his felicitations with a word of advice, that if he was not careful he would " split." _ . This guilty career was, however, brought to a speedy termination. SELLERS, emboldened by his previous impunity, took 101bs. of indigo, and was detected i❑ the fact. Oa being questioned he revealed the entire transaction—how he had been tempted, and' how he had fallen. An officer was sent for, and as it was far more desirable to catch the tutor than to punish the pupil, a portion of the stolen goods were marked, and carried to the "fence." As usual 4s. were paid, which were handed over to the officer, and immediately after BARNETT'S shop was searched, and the stolen property discovered. It is worthy of notice that the system only con tinned five days, from the 6th to the 10th of December inclusive, and that during that brief period the pri- soner received 181bs. of indigo, worth from 51. to 61., for which he gave his promising pupil 18s., thus realizing for himself more than 4/. clear gain, be • sides some "cochineal," the profit on which cannot be exactly estimated. It is by no means astonishing that there are parties found to ply the infamous trade which brings in such handsome returns. Each youth that can be seduced affords a handsome income, so long as he remains unsuspected. Nor can we wonder at the numbers who swell the thievish ranks when we find the manner in which the tempter plies his vo cation, and follows up the victim from place to place. Such an offence is the most fearful outrage against society that can be perpetrated; we can never hope to dispense with ear prisons while there are so many re cruiting sergeants to enlist young men in the ranks of thieving. If there were no receivers there would be no thieves, and no exertions should be spared to discover the FAGINS or to bring them to exem plary punishment on conviction. It is to this object that the chief efforts of the " detectives" should be directed, and any expense incurred in carrying it out fully and efficiently would be gladly defrayed by the country, for never was money ap plied to a better purpose than it would be. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NEW MINISTRY. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ministerial crisis is over, and if the Burgraves have the courage to carry out their announced inten tions, the conflict betwen the Powers has begun. The Moniteur contains decrees of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing M. Drouyn de Lhuys, to be Minister of Foreign Affairs, in place of General Labitte ; General Reynaud de St. Jean d'Angely, to be Minister of War, in place of General Schramm ; M.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, Done in Council of Ministers at the Elyk43 National the 9th of January. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Countersigned—BAßOCHE, Gen. REGNAULD DE ST. JEAN D'ANGELY. General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS has published the following order of the day, on taking the command of the first military division : " Soldiers, —Having been called by the confidence of the President of the Republic to the command of the army of Paris, I think it right to state to you sincerely how I comprehend my mission. To maintain in the army placed under my orders the strict and rigorous discipline established by my honourable predecessor; to preserve to each grade the influence and authority which devolve on it by the regulations; to respect and cause to be respected on every occasion the rights of the powers established by the constitution; to support with energy the authorities in the execution of the laws—such are our common duties. We will not fail in them, lam well assured; your past career and mine are surd gua rantees of our conduct. " Paris, Jan. 9. " BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS." It appears that M. DROUYN DE LHUYS exhibited some hesitation in accepting office ; he had consented to become a member of the Cabinet at three o'clock on Thursday, he had withdrawn his consent at half after five, but ultimately consented to retain the ' portfolio of Foreign Affairs. The Left have, and will observe the strictest neutrality, if we may judge from the following article which appears in the National:— _ _ _ "The attitude of the representatives of the Left an noys singularly the parties which seek to trouble by their quarrels the public tranquillity. In private con versations the Left is reproached with its inaction, at tempts are made to conciliate it by caresses, t© irritate it against the adversaries of to-day, the accomplices of yesterday, the allies perhaps of to morrow. In the journals it is endeavoured to cause our friends to declare themselves by accusing them of coalition with the Legitimatises, or with the Ca marillo of the ElyEe , . But nothing can change the reserve of the Republicans, and, in fact, what part would they have to take in the intrigues which now agitate the official world? Is the question seriously about defending Parliamentary prerogatives, or causing the free exercise of the executive power to be respected? In no respect. It is true that the different champions put themselves forward as defenders on the one hand of the sovereignty of Parliament, and on the other of the rights of the re sponsible power. But they themselves divulge the real state of the matter, by the public recriminations in the journals of the majority. The press of the Ely:i.e repeats each day that the chief men of the majority are solely occupied with the interests cf the exiled dynasties. The one, pilgrims to Wiesbaden, and the others, visitors at Claremont, conspire to overthrow the Republic and the Constitution. They endea vour by disputes, constantly renewed, to render the Government impossible, to excite alarm, to cause the past, which they want to restore, to be regretted. Masters of the majority of the Assembly, of all the high military and administrative positions, of the high mili tary commands cunningly obtained for their adherents, they conceive that all that is wanted is a crowned head. The monarchical press on its side unveils the projects of the camarilla of the Elysi2e. Around the President, political intriguers, impatient to consolidate the high fortune which they have obtained by the election of the Dix LiK:embre, are in movement. To preserve the sala ries and luxury to these men, a prolongation of powers is necessary. As there is no hope of making the majority a cmmi ne monarchical c cac c tr,ne o c m , eht fling the ,journals, ntr a hn, ti eea aiiGvst prolongationtea v e k e r n o n mt e t h l n i e e Constitution, to ty intode sirea . struggle S o they p en deavoureak by tihehe i. and ßut so how are are bo i t h h e i p te a p rt n i b es . licans interested in these disputes? After having laboured in concert to overthrow th e Rep u blic, after having gone together over the road of the counter-revolution, the monarchical factions separate. each seeking the path which it consi d ers the rettotet to SC:Z2, on the object of its desire. Are we to a b r id ge the di sta nce for either of the competitors? The Republicans of the Assembly have not fur a moment mi s t a k en t h e ;rou nds of these quarrels , which the good sense o f th e public has not allowed to pass the threshold of the dy nastic antechambers . Ready to support the rights of the Assembly against every Invasion of the executiv e power, ready to combat t he p lots of the factious sheltered under the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty, they have remained impassable to the . spectacle of miserable rivaliti es . Their attitude has disconcerted the projects of the Legitimatist, Orleanist, or Imperialist conspirators. I The indispensable addition of the two hundred votes of the Left has been vainly waited for, and vainly so licited. The whole country, like the demoeratical representatives, look on with supreme indifference at the spectacle of these divisions of the counter-revolu tionary parties. That calm and cold contempt in pre sence of the agitations of the official world prove clearly enough that public opinion is paying attention to higher interests, and that, thanks to the progress of demo cratical ideas, the turbulent passions of the princely f a milies have no more the privilege of moving the people. Let the monarchical agitators then cease to busy themselves about what the Left will do in such or such a phase of their paltry competitions. The Left combats for principles, and it cannot mix itsef up with intrigues and personalities. One-day, perhaps, it will take pity o❑ a man who, so long the object of base adu lations, will have been shamefully abandoned in his dis grace by the servile flatterers of his power, but it will never consent to elevate a pedestal to an enemy of the Republic." At the sitting of the Assembly on Thursday Gen. CHANGARNIER was present, but he sat alone on his bench, every one seemed to have deserted him, and of all the representatives present General LEFLO alone had the courage to enter into conversation with him. During the sitting the Burgraves adjourned to one of the committee-rooms to deliberate. The Evene meat says that the three following questions were dis cussed : Ist. Shall M. DUPIN resign his office as President of the Assembly in order to make way for General CHANGARNIER ? To this M. DUPIN replied, " The only thing certain in this case is that I shall vacate the chair ;" and M. DUPIN is right, for the whole of the Republicans would vote against .ieneral CH AN GAUNTER, and their 200 votes, joined to those of the Ministerialists, would place him in a minority. 2d. Shall an army of 40,000 men be required to watch over the safety of the Assembly, and shall the command of it be given to General CHANGARNIER ? 3d. Shall An order of the day be proposed hostile to the Ministry, and which shall indicate a want of confidence in the PRESIDENT ? The Evenentent adds that M. TRIERS was 'one of the most active of the promoters of these deliberations. The Gazette de France says, it is announced that to-morrow, at the opening of the sitting, MAL DE REMUSAT and DUFAURE will demand explanations of what is now passing. We cannot but congratulate ourselves, should these explanations tend in any man ner to elucidate how it happens that eight represen tatives assembled at the Elys6e, by private letters from the PRESIDENT, can have engaged the Assembly. The National in expressing its belief in the truth of this statement, adds, that a proposition will be for mally made to place the troops of the first Military Division at the disposition of the President of the Assembly. The Princess LIEvEN is, it is said, taking an active part with the Burgraves in all these intrigues against the PRESIDENT and the Republic. The inti mate connexion sof this lady with the Court of Russia are well known, and the very fact of her tak ing part with CUANGARNIER and the Burgraves is sufficient to prove them guilt of complicity with the Cossacks. The Burgraves, however, are not by any means in high spirits. N. DE BROGLIE spoke in most discou raging terms of their prospects on Thursday evening ; he said that the power of the Assembly was almost annihilated, and that the PRESIDENT would, if he acted with moderation, make himself entirely master of the situation. Admiral ROMAIN-DESFOSSES is appointed com mander of the Levant squadron, and Admiral MoN TAIGNES DE LA ROQUE Of that in Mexico. The Count DE MONTALEMBERT was elected a member of the French Academy on Thursday, in place of M. Ditoz, deceased. There was very little business transacted at the Bourse.

Exchange on London, 50 65 paper. GERMAN Y. Letters from Dresden of the 7th state, that the de parture of Prince SCUWARTZENBERG has been post poned in consequence of the differences which have again arisen between Austria and Prussia. MAN. TEUFFEL, the Prussian Minister, was daily expected at Dresden. Austria is endeavouring to get up a Protectionist Zollverein, while Prussia supports the Freetraders. Letters from Thorn state that large bodies of Russian troops are concentrating on the Prussian frontier. The Elector of ITEssE CASSEL has ordered that the editors of the Frelen and of the New Gazette of Hesse should be prosecuted for high treason. The Committee of the States of Wirtemberg has issued the following protest : The Committee of the Assembly of the States having examined the royal ordinances of the 25th and 29th of December, declares—First. thL.t it con siders the ordinance of the 25th of December, re lative to the press, to bo an infringement on the legislative duties of the people's representatives, and a violation of the liberty of the pres, as guaranteed by the fundamental laws. Second, that it regards the ordinance of the 29th of December, relative to the collection of the indirect taxes, as a violation of the 109th section of the constitution, according to the terms of which no tax whatever, whether direct or indirect, can be levied, either in time of peace or in time of war, without the consent of the States. The Committee con siders it to be its duty to declare this opinion openly, both ti the people and the Government. " Stuttgard, Jan. 3, 1851." The above is signed by MM. Scholer, Roedinger, Stnelnaier, Maurice Mohl, A. Secger, Fetzer, and Tofel. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Federal Commissioners arrived at Kiel on the 6th. Shortly afterwards, habited in General's uni form, they visited the Commandant of the town, Colonel JESKY, the Governor, Count REVENTLOW, and the heads of the Ministerial departments. They have consented to give the Stadtholderate to the 11th, to make their answer to the requisitions of Austria an d Prussia. In regard to the pacification of the Duchies, we understand that Denmark intends to rest upon the manifesto and proclamation of the 14th July last, and demands the immediate resignation of the Stadthol dership. The Austrian and Prussian Governments, however, insist that the Stadtholdership shall remain in office till the first step towards pacification shall have been taken by itself. ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin quotes a letter from Rome of the 28th, stating that sanguinary quarrels constantly occur between the French and Pontifical troops, and that several of the former had but lately been killed or severely wounded in the quarters of the Borgo and Banchi. The correspondent adds, that the mob always side with the Papal soldiers on such oc casions ; and that in consequence of such occurrences the French General had thought it prudent to abandon some secondary posts, and to concentrate his men in the vicinity of the Castle of St. Angelo. It was ru moured that negotiations with the King of NAPLES fur the purpose of obtaining a Neapolitan garrison at Rome had not been crowned with success. The sth being Sunday, the Sardinian Chambers did not sit. At the close of Saturday's sitting the discussion commenced upon the navy estimates (budget of marine). M. de CAvouß, the Minister of Commerce and Marine, and Count MARTINI, the re porter, who in his quality of captain of a frigate, is well versed in the subject, replied to the objections made by General QUAGLIA and M. FARINA. The debate was adjourned to Monday. Some members proposed, that being Twelfth-day, that the house should not sit, but this was overruled. THE ACCIDENT TO SIR. ROBERT PEEL—Our cor respondent writes :—" This accident turns out to have been of not so serious a character as was at first reported. The report reached me too late on Thursday evening to allow of time for making the necessary inquiries on the spot, and the information was vouched by respectable authority. It ap pears that the lion. Baronet was out hunting on Wednesday, and that his horse threw him as lie was taking what is called a double post and rails.' Sir Robert was stunned by the fall, added to which the animal kicked him slightly on th e side of the head. Happily the injury was not of a serious character."—Daily IVoes. THE OPENING 01" PARLIAMENT.—The Premi , r has addressed copies of the following letter to his supporters in the Lower House:— " Downing-street, Dec. 28, 185.'. Sir,— I take the liberty of informing . you that the meeting of Parliament having been fixed tor Tuesday, the 4th of Feb ruary, business of importance will be brought forward with out delay ; I therefore request your attendance on that day. I have the honour to be, Sir, ycur obedient servant, J. Rus.stm.." Tug BRAZILIAN FLELT.—Admiral Grenfell left Liverpool on Wednesday to take the command of the Bra zilian fleet, in anticipation of a war Letweeu Brazil and Buenos Ayres. --- We have pleasure in stating that the North Ame rican Mail Steamers are likely to come to Holyhead, as soon as the new harbour is completed. If this be true, the rail way shares will again take a rise.—Forth Waits Clu•onicle. We understand that her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert have jointly presented to tbe Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress the sum of 200/. to wards the_ahns-houses for indigent foreigners about to be erected by that society.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 4,000 bales. The market closed steadily ut previous rates.—Railway Shares were flat. The weekly statement of the Bank of England to the 4th instant exhibits the changes preliminary to the dividend payments, salaries, and official disbursements generally preceding them, but there are one or two matters worthy of special observation. The demand for money seems to have increased, and there was con siderable additional borrowing upon securities. This brought into play both notes and bullion, and in all probability the latter was partly exported. The public deposits had touched their highest point at the date of the previous balance-sheet, and were drawn upon last week, but the balances of private depositors were larger, according to custom at the close of the year, when most parties desire to have " a good account" at their banker's; as though the latter paid no attention to the subject except at' Christmas time. A major object with depositors, however, is to collect all the assets pos sible for their own satisfaction, and in order to have their business engagements narrowed for the time, and then to start anew. Compared with the previous week the following changes occurred:— Notes Issued ...

Paris was steady at 25 20 to 25, and Amsterdam at 21 171., to 18. The rate of exchange at Hamburgh last Tuesday, improved from 13 11 to 13 21. The exportation of the precious metals from London during the week to Thursday last, was 100,000 ounces in silver coin to Hamburgh, and 530/ in gold to Calais.

With regard to the subsequent calls, It" contended on the part of the detendant tb i t i bar A t ° assignees had taken • r the possession o 0° so which were consequently vested in them by e t of bankruptcy, an d that the defendant was no I ° l) gbie ter holder of the shares, and could not be rendered w it jar . i any calls made uon him by the company.

The question thou Court to decide was whether this cl e , h :it provable under the fiat. Their Lordships thougu c he re' t io de o f quite clear the debt was one payable in future, tore could not be a debt capable of being prov i e .",bg e j the bankruptcy.
