THE F I,I Z E NCH EMP E The Moniteur contains the following programme of the marriage ceremony of the Emperor and Em press on Sunday :—" On Sunday, 30th January, 1853, at 11 o'clock in the morning, two of the court carriages will go for the Empress to the palace of the Elysee. In the first carriage will be the Grand Mistress of the Household, the Lady of Honour, and the First Chamberlain of her Majesty. The second carriage will receive the Empress, her Ex cellency- the Countess de Montijo, the Grand Mas ter of the Household of the Empress, and the equerry of her Majesty will be at the door. The carriages, which will be escorted by a picket of cavalry, will enter by the gate -of the Pavillon de Fiore. The Grand Chamberlain and the Grand Equerry, the First Equerry, four Chamberlains, and the orderly officers on duty, will receive the Empress at the door of the Pavillon de l'Horloge. Their Imperial Highnesses the Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathilde will receive her Majesty at the bottom of the grand staircase. The cortege will ascend the grand staircase, and will proceed to the Salon de l'Emperor. The Emperor, accompanied by his Imperial Highness the Prince Jerome, the Ministers, the Marshals an dAdmirals, the Grand Mar shal of the Palace, and the Grand Huntiman, will advance towards the Empress from the Salon de l'Empereur, and will conduct her into that salon. At nine o'clock in the morning, a Master of the Ceremonies and assistants will go to the cathedral, to superintend the placing of the persons invited to the ceremony. The members of the constituted bodies and the functionaries will be in uniform, the ladies in high dresses (robes montantes) and bon net, the gentlemen invited in dress coats. The doors on the side of the grand entrance, and the southern and northern doors of the church, will alone be opened to the persons invited. The central door will be exclusively reserved to their Majesties, and to the Ambassadors and foreign Ministers going in a body and with an escort. An orchestra will play sacred music until the arrival of their Majes ties. On an estrade erected in the midst of the transept in face of the altar will be placed, under a canopy, two chairs of honour and two prie-Dieu for their Majesties. Vast estrades, in the form of an amphitheatre, filling each of the branches of the Latin cross, will be set apart for the French and foreign diplomatic bodies, the Senate, the Legisla tive Body, and the Council of State. Tribunes, opening on to the Latin cross, will beset apart forthe ladies of the diplomatic body, the members of the fa mily of the Emperor who may not be in the cortege of their Majesties, the ladies of the presidents of the great bodies of the State, the ladies of the Ministers, Marshals, an I Admirals; the widows of the great dig nitaries of the Empire, Marshals, and Admirals ; the ladies of the grand officers ; the ladies of the household of the Empress ; and the ladies of officers of the household of the Emperor. Other tribunes and galleries will be reserved for the ladies and gentlemen not functionaries invited. The first row of chairs in the nave will be reserved to the Marshals, the Admirals, the Grand Chan cellor and the Grand Crosses of the Legion of Honour. Th e res t o f t h e nave will be occupied by the deputation of the constituted bodies, by the high functionaries of the public ad ministrations, and by the other persons invited. At 12 o'clock their Majesties will leave the Palace of the Tuileries ; the firing of artillery will announce their departure. A double line of the National Guard and the army will be placed on all the route to be taken by - the cortege from the Tuileries up to the Parvis Notre-Dame. At the head of the cor tege will be carriages occupied by the civil and mili tary officers of the Emperor, and they will be pre ceded and followed by a squadron of cavalry. Then will ccme the carriages of the Ministers, those of the officers and ladies, of the Princes and Princesses ; a carriage containing the per sons attached to the household of her Imperial highness the Princess Mathilde • a squadron of the Guides • a carriage in which will be the ladies of the Palace of the Empress ; a carr age occupied by the Grand Master and First Chamber lain .of the Empress ; a carriage drawn by six horses, occupied by the grand officers of the house hold of the Emperor ; a carriage drawn by six horses, in which will be her Imperial Highness Princess Mathilde,: her Excellency the Countess de Montijo, the Grand Mistress of the Household of the Empress, and the lady of honour of her Majesty ; a carriage drawn by six horses, in which will be their Imperial Highnesses the Prince Jerome Napoleon and the Prince Napoleon. In a carriage drawn by eight horses will be the Emperor and the Empress. The carriage of their Majesties will be followed by a squadron of Guides and a regiment of cavalry. Informed of the approach of the cortege, the Archbishop of Paris, preceded by his clergy, will go in procession towards the great door to receive their Majesties. The great doors will be thrown open ' • the Emperor leadi ng th e E mpress by the h an d will enter the basilick ; their Majesties will place themselves on the throne. The Archbishop officiatin g will salute their Majesties, and will com mence the ceremonyof the marriage. After the bles sing of the pieces of gold and the nuptial ring, their Majesties will go to the foot of the altar, will re main standing, and will give each other the right hand. The Archbishop addressing himself first to the Emperor, and then to the Empress, will re ceive their declaration to take each other for hus band and wife, and will successively present to the Emperor the pieces of gold and the ring. The Emperor will present the pieces of gold to the Empress, and will place the ring on her finger. After the prayers, their Majesties will return to their throne. Their Majesties will successively present themselves at the offering. After the Pater, their Majesties will go to .the foot of the altar, and will kneel ; the first chaplain of the Emperor, and another bishop will extend above the heads of their Majesties a canopy of silver bro cade, and will keep it so extended during the orai son. During the episcopal benediction and the reading of the Gospel, the choir will chant several times the Donvine salvum. The Archbishop will then present holy water to their Majesties, and will commence the Te Deum, which will be taken up by the orchestra and the singers. After the Te Deum, the great officers of the Crown, the Princes, the Ministers, and other persons who arrived in the cortege will resume their places. .Their Majesties will descend from the throne, and Will return, followed as they were on their arrival. The Archbishop will immediately precede them to conduct them in procession up to the great door." The Moniteur also gives the following as the line to be taken by the cortege :—" The cortege of their Majesties will leave the Palace of the Tuileries by the principal gate, will cross the Carrousel and the court of the Louvre, and will follow the Rue des Fosses Saint Germain l'Auxer ro i s , the Rue de Rivoli the Place de Motel de Ville, the Quai de Gevres, the Pont Notre-dame, the Quai Napoleon, the Rue d'Arcole, and the Parvis Notre-Dame. After the ceremony, the cortege will return to the Tuileries by the Rue d'Arcole, the Quai Napoleon, the Quai aux Fleurs ' the Pont a u Ch ange, t h e Quais up t o th e Pl ace de la Concorde, and it will reach the palace by the grand avenue in the garden." Workmen have commenced erecting barriers in the streets contiguous to Notre Dame to prevent the crowd from pressing on the procession, and likewise from thronging round th e ca th e d ral. On the piece of ground behind the archbishop's garden a space has been railed in to receive the pieces of cannon which are to fire during the whole time that the marriage is being celebrated in the church. On Saturday, after the ceremony of the civil marriage at the Tuileries, there will be a concert i n the th ea t re o f th e Palace, and a cantata will be sung, the words of which are by M. Mery, a n d the music by M. Auber. The music of the mass to be performed at Notre Dame on Sunday is also by M. Aube_,. The Cardinal Archbishop of Rheims has arrived in Paris to be present at the religious ceremony of the Imperial marriage. " We are informed," says the Patric, " that the National Guard will be called out on Sunday, and tat it will, conjointly with the army, form the line of h the procession of the Emperor."

" The Progres du Pas de Calais has the follow ing : _ AMERICAN AFFAIRS. There has been some angry discussion in the Senate of the United States, and there is likely to be more, in relation to the Bulwer and Clayton treaty. Already things have gone so far that the veracity of one or more senators is involved in the issue. The Monroe doctrine not only now seems to be in especial favour, but this doctrine is fast degenerating into Filibusterism ; so deeply has it struck to the heart of the nation. The business world has been startled by the in troduction of a bill into the Senate of the Legisla ture of New York conferring corporate privileges upon some citizens, to organise an association, with a capital of 100,000,000 dots., for the purpose of building a railway from the river Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. It is proposed to complete the survey of the first 600 miles by a year from next April, and within five years from that time to have these 600 miles of railway completed. There is also to be a telegraph line over the same route. Stupendous as this scheme is, it is said that the names of the corporators will afford a very satisfactory pledge to the public that the en terprise will be prosecuted with the utmost vigour. Of course, these corporate powers are conferred by the Legislature of New York subject to the ap proval of the National Congress, since no one State of the Confederacy has any authority whatever to trespass upon or extend its authority to the do mains of another State or those of the Federal Go vernment. But it is not supposed that Congress will interpose any obstacle to the scheme, and its re-affirmation of the act of New York will impart to this charter from the Legislature equal validity with axy act of Congress itself. There have been two trials of the Ericsson caloric steam-ship, and in many quarters it is alleged that the experiments were more satisfactory than its best friends anticipated. The inventor thus briefly sums up the merits of the caloric prin ciple : " 1. The caloric engine burns about one-tenth as much fuel as a steam engine ; hence a caloric ship of the largest size may circumnavigate the globe without stopping to take in coal ; hence, not a sail will be seen on the ocean in 50 years after the success of the new principle is cer tain ; hence, machinery will be applied to a thousand arts which now require manual labour ; hence, the pos sibility of the long-desired machine plough ; and hence, the coming of that good time when arduous manual toil will absolutely cease under the sun. Three persons are now in a particular manner called into familiar intercourse with Napoleon lll.—namely, M. Conneau, his first physician; M. Acar, of Ham, his first pharmacian ; and C. Thelin, who is charged with the distribution of assistance to the numerous applicants to the Emperor. MM. Conneau and Thelin are well known ; both of them shared in the captivity of Prince Louis Napoleon at Ham, and it was to their zeal and de votedness that he owed his escape. M. Acar, of Ham, is less know n t o th e p u bli c , an d hi s unexpected appoint ment may naturally have excited some astonishment. M. Acar was, during the captivity of the Princ e , un it e d with MM. onneau and Thelin in their devotedness to the captive, and it was through his agency that the pri soner of Ham was able to safely correspond with his friends. M. Acar is a man of high scientific acquire ments. In our number of the Ist of April, 1844, we published an important discovery made by him in the re fining of sugar. The article we allude to concluded as follows We, who have long known M. Acar as a man full of patriotism, and whose intelligence and education place him far above the career he has entered on, are happy to meet with this opportunity of acquainting the public with our sentiments, and making it share in our sympathy to wards those who love us. XX.' This signature was that of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. The future Emperor, in writing those lines, signed the brevet of the fortune which M. Acar now enjoys." The Emperor by a decree orders - Generals of Division Bessieres ; Count Clement de la Ronciere ; Lebrun, Duke de Plaisance ; Pelletier de Pernety ; Rohault de Fleury ; H. Rottembourg ; Subervie, and Baron Woirol, and Generals of Brigade Audoy ; Auvray ; Avisard ; Bailod ; Budan. de Russo ' • De Chabannes-la-Palice ; Chadey sson ; D e Courbon- Blenac ; Delamalle ; Delcambre ; Destabenrath ; Count du Moncel ; Gellibert des Seguins ; Guile ma, .

We read in the Moniteur:—" In the night of the 22d, on the breaking up of the ball of the Tuileries, and at a moment at which the carriages were leaving, a conflict arose between some of the domestics and the chasseurs of his Excellency Veli Pacha. As soon as his Majesty was informed of this, he sent one of his aides-de-camp to the am bassador of the Sublime Porte to express to him regret at what had taken place. The persons who, on this occasion failed in the respect due to a re presentative of a Sovereign, friendly to France, have been punished. His Excellency Yell Paella has shown himself fully sensible of this friendly proceeding." The experimental squadron, under the command of Admiral de la Susse, returned to Toulon, on the 24th, after a w ee k' s cru i se, d ur i ng which' it had experienced some heavy gales from N.W., but without receiving any damage. The Minister of the Marine has just received dispatches from the Ile de la Reunion, dated the 27th November. The accounts contained in them are most satisfactory. The decrees which have been published during the last year in favour of the colonies had produced the most favourable effect. The livrets were distributed with facility, and the best results were anticipated from the measure. The cultivation of vanilla had acquired considerable development ; it was expected that the crop of this year would produce from 400 to 500 kilogrammes, and there is every reason to hope that in a few years the island would be able to supply the whole consumption of France, which has hitherto been dependent on Mexico for the article. "2. The cost of the caloric engine is about the same as the steam engine, minus the cost of the boilers. "3. Only one-fourth as many engine -men will be re quired on board a caloric ship as are necessary for a steamer. "4. No smoke whatever will issue from a caloric fur nace when anthracite coal is used, and consequently no huge unsightly smoke-pipe will be necessary, and the rigging will be as clean as that of a sailing ship. "5. There can be no bursting or collapsing of boilers, for the simple reason that there will be no boilers to burst. The worst accident that can happen to a caloric engine is for it to stop ; nor is watchfulness imperatively required, as in no case can a dangerous accident occur. "6. Owing to the extreme simplicity of the caloric engine, the wear and tear will be very slight, and the duration of the en g ine proportio na bly l ong. " The American Exhibitio n for the Industry of all Nations seems to be exciting au increased interest, not only in America, but throughout Europe. Mr. Everett, the American Secretary of State, has forwarded an official circular to all foreign representatives, inviting their co-operation in the undertaking. After a kind of half apology for the inadequate representation of America in the Great Exhibition of 1851, Mr. Everett exprdsses himself as certain that the , produc tive, manufacturing, and artistic resources of the United States will be displayed to greater ad vantage in the New York Exhibition than on any former occasion, and ventures to predict that, in some respects, the Exhibition at New York will equal, and even surpass, its prototype in Hyde park. Under the head of " Les Principes de 89" there is an article of nearly six columns, from the pen of M. Granier de Cassagnac, in the Constitutionnel. The article is too consecutive for us to detach pas sages with a view of showing the argument of the writer, and even an analysis would fill a greater space in our journal than the subject appears us to warrant. The object of M. Gamier de Cassagnac is to disprove the statements in the works on the French Revolution of M. Thiers, M. Mignet, M. Louis Blanc, M. Michelet, and M. de Lamartine. These authors have all more or less ascribed the principles of the revolution to the influence of the doctrines of Voltaire and the other philosophers of the last century. M. Granier de Cassagnac con tends that they proceeded from the initiative of Louis the Sixteenth, who, he says, attempted to establish them in spite of all the obstacles that he had to contend with. VESSELS FROM AUSTRALIA.—The non-arrival of any large proportion of the vessels known to be on their way from Australia with consignments of gold, while con tinued shipments of coin are made from this side, causes disappointment. Nearly a million and a half sterling is on board of vessels which had sailed previously to the departure of the last advices from Singapore, and it is probable that the Great Britain and the Sydney also aro now within four or five weeks of their return with an equal amount. On the whole, it is estimated that, even up to the present time, the gold received has exceeded only in a very slight degree the quantity transmitted from this side for its purchase, since, in addition to the sums sent on mercantile account, those taken by emi grants, of which no precise calculation can be made, must have reached a very heavy total. At the same time the exportation of goods has been going on to an unprecedented extent, and is rapidly increasing. For this augmentation, therefore, Australia is ou;debtor, and as its value, may, perhaps, not be far short of 3,000,0001., it will be seen that the present state of the Bank bullion does not of itself present an index to the existing balance of trade, since, in addition to the stock in the vaults of that establishment, we may reckon the sum thus stated as being at sea, and wholly unre presented in our circulation. In ordinary cases it would not be correct to assume that the returns for goods exported would all come to increase out stock of wealth, since those goods are made out of raw material, much of which is im ported from other countries, and which will involve pro portionate payments from us to foreign producers. But in the case of shipments to Australia these payments for the raw materials of which they are partly composed are completed long before we get anything back, and a drain of our specie may therefore, under such circum stances, take place to the continent, while the larger amounts of gold which are to operate as a set-off, and to pay both for raw material and manufacturing skill, are delayed in their arrival. This is what is taking place at the present time, and is a counterpart of a state of affairs that existed at one period between San Francisco and New York. Under the pressure thus created, about two or three years back, the rate for money in the latter city during a few months rapidly advanced, and there were many predictions of a crisis, together with a renewed cry on the part of the Protectionists for a higher tariff that should enable them to keep the gold they were obtaining. As soon, how ever, as regularity of communication was thoroughly established all this difficulty ceased, and from that period to the present, owing to the steady excess of the gold received over the gold exported, and the consequent abundance of capital the money-market has been easier, even in the midst of the most extended activity in all branches of enterprise, than was ever before known. There is no reason to suppose that the same state of things will not be witnessed on this side. We are now simply in the position of tradesmen who pay ready money for material and wages, and who give credit to the customers. At times they require all their capital and something more, and at other periods, when they get their debts in, they are anxiously seeking for in vestments. In the former instance they are compelled to pay a full rate for money, and are in the situation in which the public now find themselves with regard to the Bank of England, but although the Bank are quite right in proportioning their charge to the demand, they also must expect when collections come in, to experience a corresponding reaction. It is probable that during the text year the changes in the relative abundance or scarcity of money will be more sudden and frequent than at any former epoch, and it will be an advantage if this should ultimately induce the Bank to discontinue the announcement of fixed rates, and to adopt the only true course of - regulating their business in accordance with the actual state of the market from day to day, and the general position of their affairs. THE SUGAR DUTIES.—The Commissioners of Customs having received and considered a proposition of their principal ere officers, su b m it t i ng, i n cases where sugar en is fo d un to d uponbe .ar being landed and ehouse l dunderan inferior e denomina o tion a superior quality, that the warehousing entry may be allowed to b e amended fro the lower to the higher rates of d u t y , without special application to the Board in each case , the landing surveyortbtthere a e n r d . landingwait o er certifying upon the warrant to the ame n d ment of the entry for the e who s le or suc hn may ry proportion o f th e sugar as be propositionspecifi d by of t them, h er the Board h ave approvedof the surveyors-gene ra l, and have directed theproper officers to govern themselves i n f uture accordingly. The Pays has a long article on the subject of the expected amnesty, in which, without committing the Government to any precise promise, it fear under takesba the o in to say, that "as the take backcomeshedayto when its country may without her exiled sons, it is not the Chiefof of clemency;"theSt,telvh will retard by a single minute the hour and it adds, " may this hour come idelaywthot of that the Emperor may follow the magnanimity his heart without compromising the sacred interests of society." It is said that a decree of amnesty will appear on Sunday. The health of the Countess ofCliahlbe p oredxisrienssaedn alarming st a t e , an d th e physicians but little hope of her recovery. The Bourse was more than usually animated yesterday, and, as the settling-day is approaching, a warm contest was engaged in between the speculators for a rise, and those for a fall, which after many variations, ended to the advantage of the speculators for a rise. The Three per Cents, opened at 80f. 30c., rose to 80f. 60c., fell again to 80f. 40c., and finally closed at 80f. 70c. for the end o f ie month, being the highest price of the day, and a rise of 50c., as compared with the closing price of Wednesday. There was no political news afloat. The Four-and a-Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. 30c.

SPAIN. The advices from Madrid are dated the 22d. They state that a negotiation has been concluded between the Government and some foreign capital ists for an advance of money on the national pro perty. The sum was fifty-seven millions. Besides the commission, the Government was to pay 7i per cent. interest. The house of O'Shea, actin(' in the name of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, of London, has under taken to advance the greatest part of that sum. The Government has also procured resources to enable it to provide for the public wants until the close of March. The Absolutist journal of Seville, La Paz, ad vises its political friends to take no part in the approaching electoral contest.

THE QUEEN ON THE PF:OSECTITION OF THE PROPRIETORS OF THE " WEEKLY 3 .}ISPA.TCH" NEWSPAPER, AGAINST THE DUKE OF BRUNkIWICK AND OTHERS. The indictment in this case arose out of an action re cently brought by the Duke of Brunswick against Mr. Harmer, in which the Duke obtained a verdict, with 800/. damages, upon the oath of one Charles Casimir Reinhold, that a number of the Weekly Dispatch of the 19th September, 1830, contai n i ng an art i cle respecting the-Duke, had been sold to him at the Dispatch office shortly before the commencement of the action, thereby taking the case out of th e Statute of Limitations, which Mr. Harmer had pleaded. It was afterwards clearly established that Reinhold had committed perjury, and upon a new trial of the action the verdict was in favour of Mr. Harmer. The Duke and Reinhold having ab sconded, and refused to appear to the indictment, pro ceedings of outlawry were taken, and the third procla mation of outlawry was made yesterday, in the Sheriff's County Court of Middlesex, against the Duke, by the name and description o f Ch ar l es Frederick Augustus William Guelph, late of the parish of Saint Marylebone, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; and also against Reinhold. THE AUSTRALIAN iEAMER.---The Admiralty have fixed for the Australian steamer to leave Plymouth with the mails on the 23d of February. DETENTION OF RAIVIVAY TRAINS ARISING FROM THE STATE OF THE WEATH!tn:.—Two decisions have recently been given in Scotland on this subject, of considerable importance to railway companies and railway travellers. It appears that, on the , 18th inst., there was a heavy fall of snow and sleet, acco m puled with frost, about Stirling, which rendered the rails of the Scottish Central Railway so slippery that the progress of the trains were very much retarded, and, in fact, in some places almost stopped. Two actions were brought against the coin pany by passengers for 'breach of contract, one of them contending that it was the duty of the company to pro vide their engines with. a pipe to scatter sand over the rails under such circa mstances. In both cases the Sheriff held that the railway company could not be held liable for the elements., over which they had no control, and verdicts were ace() rdingly given for the defendants.

A full average supply of English wheat, 4,170 quarters, has been received up to our market, this week, coastwise, but its general condition has proved very inferior. Fresh up, to-day, the receipts of that grain by land carriage were but moderate, yet the stands were fairly supplied with samples. Selected qualities sold slowly at Monday's prices ; but all other kinds were very dull, and offered on lower terms—say fully ls. per quarter. Upwards of 37,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come to hand, the number of samples was comparatively extensive. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty supported. In floating cargoes, next to nothing was doing, yet hold ers were tolerably firm. With foreign barley we were largely supplied ; but the show of English was only moderate. Malting parcels were held at full quotations ; but other kinds were lower to purchase. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. The show of oats being large, the trade was heavy, at a decline of 6d per quarter. Beans, peas, and flour ruled heavy, at previous rates. English .. Irish .. .. Foreign ..

All breeds met a slow sale, but we have no change to notice in the quotations. The extreme figure for the best Scots was 4s 2d per 8 lbs. The supply of sheep was somewhat on the increase ; nevertheless the mutton trade was steady, and late rates were well supported. Old Downs sold readily, at 5s per 8 lbs. Although the number of calves was good, the inquiry for them was active, and, in some instances, the currencies had an upward tendency. Very superior calves were worth from 4s 10d to 5s per 8 lbs Pigs were in fair request, at late figures.

Plantation Ceylon has been sold at 60s, for good colory 52s Gd to 575, for low mid and mid, 62s for peaberry, and 67s 6d to 69s for triage. Native Ceylon has been sold at 46s to 47s for good ord, having been cheaper early in the week.

Two cargoes St. Michael, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at an advance of 2s to 3s per box. Seville sours are in demand, and but few arrivals have as yet been received. Nuts of all kinds have improved in value, and tho stock daily diminishing. The terms of sale for green fruit, as adopted in London, are now made similar at all tho outports. SERIOUS CHARGE OF RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.— Some excitement has been occasioned in Gloucester by a case which has been heard before the magistrate, involv ing a charge of a very serious nature against parties respectably connected there and elsewhere. Mrs. Mary Wingate, of that city, was charged with having received from her Brother, Henry Brookes, and disposed of, a large quantity of articles of various descriptions, well knowing the same to have been stolen. The case was brought before the magistrate by one of the Liverpool detective police named Povey. Evidence at consider able length was gone into, but the facts are briefly as follows :—Brookes was foreman to Mr. Easter, of George-crescent, Liverpool, a general merchant, having a large establishment. While in his employ, Mr. Easter missed a large quantity of goods, and suspicion falling upon the foreman, an officer was sent to apprehend him, but he decamped. However, his wife and son, who carries on business in the accor dion line, and a Mrs. Hall, sister to Brookes, have been committed for trial as participators in the robbery, and certain goods having been traced to Gloucester, Mrs. Wingate was apprehended, and it was ascertained that at various times during the last three years she had sold a quantity of goods of different descriptions to tradesmen in Gloucester. Of these, a number gave evidence before the magistrates. Mrs. Maysey, toy-dealer, had at intervals in the last two years purchased of her gentlemens' dressing cases, purses, poCket-books, and other articles • Mr. Henley, stationer, had pu rc h ase d fi ve " Lady's ' Companions, Companions," and a dressing case ; Mr. Ladkin, hairdresser, a dress ing case and, three purses ; Mr. Golder, watchmaker, a cigar case, dressing case, purse, and other articles since sold ; Mr. D o b e ll, watchmaker, bought two gold pencil cases for ss. or 7s. ; Mr. Mann, jeweller, a card case and dressing case ; and Mr. Gregory, another silver smith, some,scissors, and a silver pencil case. To some of these parties Mrs. Wingate represented that the goods had been handed to her by a debtor in lieu of cash, and to others she stated that her brother had made her a present of them. The magistrates hav ing heard the evidence, sent the prisoner for trial at Liverpool. DARING ROBBERY.—At Stockton-on-Tees, on Wed nesday morning last, shortly after that old and long established shop of Messrs. William and Thomas Farmer, High-street, jewellers, silversmiths, &c., was opened for the weekly market-day's business, two men entered, in a most deliberate manner, who were observed by the family through a glass door, from a back room, when Mr. Thomas Farmer re-entered the shop, which he had only just left, no doubt under the cheering prospect of giving attention to welcome customers on such a day as this ; but lo ! before Mr. Farmer had time to salute his visitors with the compliments of the morning, one had, unseen, again walked into the streets, leaving his com panion in the centre of the shop floor, who also, as Mr. Farmer advanced towards him, calmly quitted the shop, pulling after him the door. As Mr. Farmer, by such hasty departures, could hold no communion, he, of course, had no alternative but of again opening the shop door and taking a survey of the two worthies who, at an easy pace, turned down Finkle-street, which is about twenty yards distant, and who were no more seen by Mr. Farmer. As the ingress and egress of these gentle men were so quick, and Mr. Farmer seeing nothing wrong, dreaded no injury; and it was not until the fore noon of the day advanced, when Mr. Farmer was en gaged in decorating his windows with the riches of his e g n 's rings, altar, y a l h u e e found d himselfqu minus e n v u i s . wares, and when in want of the most attractive and jt is valuable pearls to such nymphs and swains who are two o u ca t t s o es vi o s f it w H ed y d m in dent, from the statement o Mr. Farmer, that this rob bery stands unprecedented in the hist that crimes for agility and calmness, the °- of Newgato go round the counter, open thief having had to a glass case in which were the lost rings, the d placed thereon, door of which had been again fastened with all apparent e.emposufe. PASSPORTS FOR FRANCE. It railroad station, London-brid is the practice at the packet-boat stations of Bri 1 tge' at the inns, and at the ghton, on, Folkestone, and Dover, to inform passengers desiring to visit Paris that no pass port is necessary. The consequence is that when such travellers arrive in Par* admitted to see the si ihstthey find that they cannot be or visit the public establish ments, the productiongof a passport being requisite to entitle them to such privilege I thisituation they apply to the British b s that they cannot have assa.or for a passp , ort and find one. All that the ambassador can do is to f • urnish them with a document to enable them to reach a seaport, and embark for England. No person should therefore embark for France without a passport, even for the reasons here given ; but there are man y others others whi c h render the possession of a passport of t he first importance.

We did not scruple to express our dissatisfaction with the conduct of the jury who tried the case of " the Queen v. Newman" at the time when the trial took place. Our regret at the nature of the proceeding was aggravated by the consciousness that the injustice which we believe to have been done was inevitable. So far as the result of the legal proceedings which he initiated went, Dr. Achilli played a perfectly safe game, whether convicted or acquitted. He was quite certain that upon the two issues joined the verdict of the Jury must, technically at least, be in his favour, and that no new trial could ensue because no state of the evidence within the range of possi bility could lead to any other result. The two pleas put forward by Dr. Newman substantially were--first, that the passage complained of was not a libel, and secondly, that it was true. As to the former question no doubt could possibly exist. In his zeal to overthrow the opponent of his faith the Anglican convert had raked together series of accusations, the very least of which, if true, was sufficient to blast the character of his antagonist. Indeed, the misfortune of Dr. Newman was that his charge was so formal and specific, being in fact an elaborate indict ment of Dr. Achilli's whole life from the year 1826 to 1851. No one having the fear of the law before his eyes would have made so detailed a charge in so elaborate a form, because it was absolutely imp oss ibl e to prove the truth of the whole of a string of facts so remote i n time and place, and because lure in a single proof would vitiate the validity of the whole plea, which to bar the prosecution must be an answer to the whole libel. Had Dr. Newman indulged in the style of the more vulgar school of polemics, and merely contented himself, like some of our most pious cotemporaries, with applying to his antagomlSt coarse and abusive epithets, he might have had a hope of supporting by evidence such general im putations ; but because he relied on facts and details instead of vague asser ti ons, his complete de fence became impo ss ibl e , an d a ver di c t agains t hi m certain before a single juror was sworn. The jury might have believed every one of the witnesses who charged Dr. Achilli with incontinence, and have thought that Dr. Newman was substantially justified in what he wrote, but the want of proof on two or three charges would have made that opinion im material. The case was all along, as Lord Camp bell explained, merely a question of the mitigation of punishment, merely the examination of wit nesses viva voce whose evidence might have been had on affidavits. Indeed, considering the enormous expense of the trial, and the certainty of result to Dr. Newman, it might possibly have been wiser to reserve the testimony in mitigation of punishment, and not spend such large sums, and bring over so many witnesses, for the mere purpose of fighting a losing battle, when no available amount of truth could possibly alter the result. For this state of things we have neither to blame the law nor the Court; it is inherent in the nature of the case. It would not be reasonable that the truth of one libel should justify a man in writing another, nor would it be right that the Court should grant a new trial, which could only end in return ing formally the same verdict. The only difference that could have happened, had a new trial been granted, would have been that perhaps a jury might have been found to take a different view of the evi dence. Happily, by a wise and provident pro vision in Lord Campbell's Act, which does great credit to the far-sighted sagacity of its framer, this second investigation is rendered unne cessary, because the task of reviewing that de cision is delegated to other hands. It is pro vided that, though the plea of justification be not proved, it shall be competent for the judges to consider that plea and the evidence adduced with a view of seeing whether they aggravate or mitigate the offence. The judges are to consider the evi dence for themselves, they are even bound to do so, and, therefore, not to take their views servilely from the conclusions of the jury. The judges may, if they choose, believe witnesses whom th e j ury disbeliev e , and refuse credit to those on whom the jury relied. The question is fairly re-opened for their consideration, the evidence is before them, but of that evidence they are themselves to form a judgment fairly and impartially. The opinions of the jury are doubtless to be considered, and, where testimony is evenly balanced, to be followed ; but the same discretion which the judges exercise in case of the finding of a jury against the weight of evidence will authorise them in forming an inde pendent judgment when the amount of punishment is to be awarded. When, therefore, we complain of the finding of a jury, it is not that we believe' that finding will lead to any ultimate injustice-- against that we have still the best guarantee, the unbiassed judgment of an upright and impartial Court ; but it is because we feel that such exhibi tions as the Achilli trial tend to diminish in the minds of our own people and of foreigners the respect for the administration of justice in this country, and confidence in the power of a nation satisfactorily to administer justice to itself. Unable as we have professed ourselves to agree with the verdict of the jury, we must also pro fess our conviction that the guilt or innocence of Dr. Achilli, and the consequent innocence or guilt of Dr. Newman, are poor, trivial, and irre levant issues on which to set the pending contro versy between the awakened energies of the human mind and the crushing despotism of the Romish Church. Mighty issues are raised between the two contending parties far different from the scandal ous revelations with which intemperate zeal has sullied the atmosphere of our courts, and questions enough to remain to task all the powers of the acutest disputants, even though they should forego the luxuries of law, the glare of publicity, or the triumph of fine and imprisonment. That never ending controversy, co-equal with the existence and co-extensive with the duration of human thought, the controversy between the spirit of in quiry and the influence of authority, between inno vating speculation and stationary dogmatism, needs other weapons, and asks other energies than those which are sharpened and developed in a court of justice. We trust that with regard to this most objectionable trial the public mind has cooled down from its former state of morbid excitement, and that, whatever be the nature of the decision arrived at, by the Court of Queen's Bench, the successful party, whichever it may be, will regard the result without indecorous exultation, and look on the case as what it really is, a disp u t e between two over- • zealous polemics—the one of whom has brought forward more *charges than he can prove, and the other denied more than he can disprove. To Pro testant and Romanist the case, truly viewed, is un important ; its real significance is in the discredit it has tended to throw on our administration of justice, and the impression which it has tended to disseminate—that where religious differences come into playa jury is the echo of p o p u l ar feeling in stead of being the expositor of its own. THE CONVICT KIRWAN. DUBLIN, JAN. 27.—At Capel-street Police office ye:- terday, Mr. Boswell, attorney, appeared before the bench, and said that he had an application to make in a, matter arising out of the case of the Queen v. Kirwan. It was on behalf of a person whose name had been men tioned in connection with that case, and who had suf fered a great deal of oppression and misery. Certain letters had been traced of a very serious character ; but he would not mention the name of the detective, as he was not there to make any charge against the police. Some extraordinary conduct had been traced with regard to an individual ; the matter would, he hoped, be broUght timebwu el : lic01 r r drh: to. alsoeoh correct, l i n bi P. v . ee Boswells ed t n i i g nt a gt t o i t 0 the Lo we orafdnt Palmerston investigation, mtLordsoe rlsi.tneon‘Justices,tvo; whether bthaueictteh neo a rut n tih d t eawa m eansoCu aude i police ? mons against the man, in order to bind him to keep the peace ?
