THE SPEECH FOR THE PROSECTTTION.

The President then called on the Procnreur
Imperial to open for the prosecution. That func-
tionary spoke nearly as follows :
Gentlemen,—Prosecntions of the press always excite
the curiosity of the crowd and the interest of serious men.
They place in juxtaposition the rights and the abuses of
intellect. The Imperial Government wished to create a
legitimate position for the intellect intelligence), but it did
not wish that that position should he unlimited or unregu-
lated. The press, under the empire of the law which re-
gulates it, bad obtained more liberty than it believes. Jour-
nalists, it is true, no longer cast bails for insurgents, and the
Government would be insane if it entertained the idea of
giving unlimited liberty to &country that does dot wish for it.
The action of the intellect on life is as old as the world, and
it acts without the law of responsibility—the liberty of the
press serves as its organ, and it can only belong to advanced
civilization. It is an error, gentleman, to believe that in
England the liberty of the press is as old as the monarchy.
1. Here the Procureur-Imperial endeavoured to justify this
proposition by reading some historical documents, and en-
deavoured to prove that the press was never really free
until the rights of the House of Hanover were no longer
called in question.] God forbid, gentlemen, that I should
reproach England with having restrained the liberty of the
press, but, gentlemen, since comparisons have been made,
I also have a right to make comparisons. No dynasty at
its foundation ever supported itself by milder or more
moderate and liberal laws than those by which we are
governed. But let us quit this subject, for I am anxious
to arrive at the object of the prosecution. This is the
first time, gentlemen, that a prosecution of the press has
taken place since the foundation of the Empire ; whatever
ba the talent of the writer, he writes under his own re-
sponsibility. Well, gentlemen, the Correspondent is a
religious journal, which deviates too often from that spe-
ciality to enter on the ground of politics. Gentlemen, on
this occasion the Government could have suspended the
journal which already had directed two attacks against it,
and had been twice warned. The Ministers did not wish
to do so. The Corropoigilant may live, but we wished to
have a public trial.

Here the Pracureur drew a sketch of the political
state of England at the period of Count de Monte-
lembert's v.sit. He described at great length the
various episodes of the siege of Lucknow, and ren-
dered full justice to the courage of the 800 English-
men and 200Faiglishwomen who contended for four
months against the united efforts of 100,000 bar•
barians. He then analyzed the article prosecuted,
aid contended that certain passages violated the law.
He concluded by saying that in point of freedom the
institutions of France feared no comparison with
those of England.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive
Their insertion is often delayed owing to a press of matter
and when omitted, it is frequently from reasons quite inde-
pendent of the merits of the communication.
Whatever is intended for insertion muetbe authenticated by the
name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publica-
tion, but as a guarantee of his good faith.
Communications should always be legibly written, and on one
side of the paper only. If long it increases the difficulty of
finding space for them.
Advertisements sent from the country must be accompanied by
a remittance or a reference fur payment in town.

THE FORCE OF COINCIDENCES.

ONE of the nicest questions that can exercise the
mind of an attentive observer whether of the
moral or of the physical world, is the extent and
the kind of connection which may, or may not,
exist between phenomena nearly coincident in
point of time. Before astronomers had, tracked
the orbits, and arrived at certain probable con-
jectures as to the nature, of comets, any great
public calamity, a pestilence, a war, or the death
of some crowned head, happening about the time
of its appearance, was sure to be laid at the door
of the vagrant luminary. Three centuries ago
the mightiest potentate of Europe was induced
by the portent of one of those erratic bodies to
abdicate his Crown and to shut himself up for the
rest of his life within the walls of a monastery.
And in this year of grace 1858, the heavenly
visitant which for some time added such splen-
dour to our autumnal nights, although not
blamed, as far as we have heard, for the virtual
abdication of the King of Pitussf.t, has, like its
famous predecessor in the year 1811, got credit,
how justly we know not, for the superior excel-
lency of the year's vintage. That the inferences
apt to be drawn from proximity of time are
not always to be relied on, the history of supposed
cometary influences sufficiently demonstrates ; but
it does not follow, therefore, that all such in-
ferences are fallacious, and that the post hoc never
is proper hoc. Whether in any given case there
be or be not good ground for surmising a connec-
tion as between cause and effect between events
which follow close upon each other, thus becomes
a point for philosophic speculation.

As the contribution of " mites " towards the
advancement of " social science" is the fashion
just now, we propose to contribute ours in the
shape of a problem, which, however, we do not
pretend to solve—few social philosophers go that
length—but only to propose, leaving its solution
to wiser heads than our own. About s►x weeks
or two months ago the columns of the newspapers
were filled, by the side of various notices of the
progress of DONATI'S comet through the celestial
firmament, with accounts of the progress on the
political horizon of another eccentric luminary of
considerable apparent magnitude, and, it is con-
jectured, like its autityps in the skies, of gaseous

THE C OF COMMON COUNCIL held a special
court on Wednesday, which was very numerously
attended, the buisness being to receive a memorial
respecting the providing of an asylum for pauper
lunatics chargeable on parishes within the City, and
to consider the propriety of taking steps to obtain
the restoration of the rights granted by royal charter,
by a inch 13ethlem Hospital was given to the citizens,
or to provide for the building of the said asylum
from the City's cash. After the Lord Alayor had
addressed the court and Why explained the business,
Mr. J. Morris moved, " That the resolution of this
court of the ..22nd January last be rescinded as far as
regards the cost of erecting the proposed lunatic
asylum being paid by a county rate, and that the
asylum, if elected, be paid for out of this city's cash."
A discussion took place, and an amendment was pro.
posed, but the court adjourn, d without coming to a
conclusion.

PRUSSIA.

THE PRINCE REGENT'S POLICY.
In an address from the Prince Regent of Pnissis
to the Ministry of State at the first sitting, his
Royal Highness, after alluding to the King's Wafts,
said :

It must be generally admitted that the welfare of the
country and of the Crown are inseparable, and that the
prosperity of both repose on solid and conservative bases.
To recognize there wants, and to properly satisfy them, is
the secret of State wisdom, and it is above all things Deem.
nary to avoid running into extremes. In this respect the
mission of the Government will nut be an easy one ; fur a
movement has of late manifested itself in public hfe
which may be in part explained, but which on the other
hand already shows traces of ideas unusually violent,
and which must be opposed by acts as rations! as tbi
are legal and energetic. Everything that is promised
should be scrupulously performed, without, however,
refraining from ameliorations ; and everything nut promised
must be firmly opposed. Above all, it is necessary to
abstain from the stereotyped phrase that the Government
must indefinitely consent to the development of Liberal
ideas, from the apprehension that they may make their
way in an underhand manner. When truth and legality
are manifest in all the acts of the Government it is strung,
because it is conscious of acting properly; and that feeling
gives it a right to energetically resist all that is objection-
able.

of you, I will candidly tell you that I think you kind,
generous, truthful, loving, benevolent, sympathizing, for-
bearing, forgiving, gentle, devoted in friendship, and truth-
ful in affection. 1 love you above all the world. As to
myself, I am irritable, unkind, false-hearted, jealous, harsh,
deceitful, changeable, proud, unforgiving, hasty, ungenerous,
malicious, and utterly unworthy of that love which you
have so generously bestowed upon me.—l am, my dearest
love, yours living and dying.

the estimated sum required for fitting her for sea
service is from 100,0001. to 120,0001.—total, about
280,0001. She is expected to be ready by about Mid-
summer, and then to steam for the remainder of
1869 between England and Portland, United States.
Her ultimate use will probably be to form a trunk
line of communication between England and the
Eastern Seas, Trincomalee being named as the most
eligible post to which she may run. The voyage
will probably be performed in from twenty-five to
thirty days.

THE JUDGMENT.

At a quarter•past six the judges retired to
deliberate. They remained in deliberation one hour
and five minutes, and at twenty minutes past seven
the President, having previously ordtred in four
Sergens de Ville to prevent aoy sign of approbation
or the contrary, and to take into instant custody any
one offending in that way, read the judgment of the
Court. The Court found the Count de Montalembert
and M. Douniol guilty of three of the offences
charged—namely, 1. Excitement to hatred and
contempt of the Emperor's Government. 2, Attack
against the respect due to the laws. 3, Attack against
the rights and authority which the Emperor holds
from the Constitution and the principle of universal
suffrage. As regards the fourth offence imputed to
the accused the Court was of opinion that, although
expressions are found in the passages objected to
which should not have been expressed by the pen of
a writer who respects himself, and although those
expressions have a tendency to sow disunion and
agitation among citizens, they do not sufficiently
manifest, on the part of the author, an intention to
trouble the public peace, and this last offence was
not completely proved.
The Court found that in the case of Douniol ex-
tenuating circumstances existed, and applying the
highest penalty condemned Count de Montalembert
to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 f. ;
Douniol to one month's imprisonment and a fine of
1,000 f,; with costs against both.
The proceedings were then announced to be at an
end ; the judges and Procnreur quitted the Court,
and the audience separated. A group was in the
street, curious to see M. de Montalembert, who re-
turned home on foot.

Count de Montalembert will, it is stated, appeal
against the verdict of the Tribunal of Correct.onal
Police.

THE POOLE CASE.

IN a free country like ours, and under a well-
regulated system of law, it is of the very essence
of judicial power that it excludes all that is, or
has the appearance of being, arbitrary. The
Eastern Cadi, it is true, is not hampered by
forms of procedure or rules of evidence. A com-
plaint is laid before him ; he sends for the
accused ; he makes as much, or as little, inquiry
as may suffice to satisfy his own mind; and
thereupon he pronounces judgment according to
his own view of the merits of the case. Ile

LORD STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE ON

TURKISH PROGRESS.

ADVANTAGE has been taken of Lord STRATFORD
DE REDCLIFFE'S temporary detention at Smyrna
to celebrate the commencement of the first rail-
way in Asiatic Turkey, and in a remarkable
speech, in acknowledgment of his health, pro-
posed by Sir MACDONALD STEPHENSON, the
Noble Viscount took occasion to allude to the
probabilities of a direct line of railway communi-
cation between England and Calcutta. In the
present circumstances of India this is a subject of
peculiar importance, and one, too, which de-
mands more attention than it has hitherto
received from the public. The importance of
easy intercourse with our possessions in the East
cannot be overstated, and no effort should be
neglected to bring the fullest appliances of
English enterprize to bear upon the completion
of this gigantic undertaking. Recent occur-
rences have shown the paramount necessity
of the means of rapid transit to the seat of our
Indian Government. We shall never again
leave India as we have done. We cannot afford
to have that great source of wealth and power at
so great a distance. The rapid progress of the age
does not leave us time to go round two sides of a

CAUTION.

IN consequence of many impudent attempts to
deceive the public, it is necessary to state that all Nelms.
Nicoll's manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mask,
consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy
this is fraud, and may be thus detected : if the garment is dark-
coloured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and
address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if
the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground,
and red letters. Each garment is marked in plain figures, at a
fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials.
H. J. and D. Nicoll have recognised agents in various parts of
the United Kingdom and Colonies, and any information for-
warded through them will be thankftrlly acknowledged or paid
for, so that the same may lead to the prosecuti.ln of any person
copying their trade mark. or making an unfair use of their
name; that is to say, in such a manner as may be calculated to
mislead.

Obituarg.

MAJOR GENERAL HENRY J. WOOD, C. 8., of the
Bengal Artillery, died suddenly at the Trinity Rail-
way station, about nine o'clock on Saturday evening,
the 13th instant. The deceased had been dining
with a friend at Trinity, Edinburgh, and was on his
return to the Royal Hotel, where he was residing.
General Wood entered the Indian army in 1810,
served in the Sutlej campaign of 1810, at Bhurtpora
in 1825, and at Java in 1814.
Mn. THOMAS HATCHARD, the eminent publisher, of
Piccadilly, died at Brighton on Saturday last. He
was a man of earnest unostentatious piety, as a
master kind and liberal. His charity was unob-
trusive; but blessed with affluence, he was the
humble means of distributing largely the bounty
bestowed upon him to a large circle of poor of every
grade.

Monmouthshire, on Wednesday morning last. ftle
deceased was in his eighty eighth year.

FOR LADIES.

NICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK
is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear
or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. It
somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelafre, and has an
elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and
measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer edge,
falling in graceful folds from the shoulders; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can
instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberti ;
at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its
original shape. The malteds!! chiefly used for travelling are the
soft neuirid.coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured
by this firm, but for the promenade other materials are provided.
The price will be two guineas and • half for each Cloak ; but
with the Mkbanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more are
charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre-
pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets,
either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this
Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and At well. Female
attendants may also be seen for Pantalona des Dames A Cheval,
partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required, the
Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the
Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift.

'KTICOLL'S PATENT CAPE PALETOT
11 offers the following desideratum: the Cope descends from
the front part of the shoulders sod forms a speoies of sleeve for
each arm, both are at perfect freedom, having to pass through
enlarged apertures in the side or body of tbs. Paletot these
apertures. however, are duly covered by the C ape, which does
not appear at the back part of the Paletot, but only in the front,
and thus serves to form hanging sleeves, at the same time con-
cealing the hands when placed in the pockets. The garment is
altogether mt.st convenient and graceful in appearance, and can
in London alone be had of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118,
and 120, REGENT STREET; and 22, CORNHLLL.

THE RIGHTS AND CLAIMS OF THE MINISTRY.

On this matter I must he explicit. First, then, let us
not forget, in approaching such questions, that nothing
can exceed the solemnity of the words in which it has
been thought proper in the Church of England to confer
the full rights of the office of the Presbyter. Also let
us not forget that these words of ordination have always
in our Church been interpreted by a large and influen-
tial body—by many, indeed, of our most honoured divines
—as conferring the right derived from Christ himself,
not only to administer his holy sacraments and preach his
holy word in the congregation, but also to speak of pardon
with authority in Christ's name in the Church's service in
a way in which other men cannot speak for the comfort of
distressed souls. We have no right, my reverend brethren,
to forget that such has been the language of some of our
best divines, whether we ourselves—wing, as we are fully
entitled, our individual liberty—assent to it or not. Ido
not say that the statements which we meet with in these
divines on this subject of the Presbyter's office applied, for
example, especially to absolution, ate very definite or cl ar.
I do not wean that from the very first you will not find
powerful objections made in our Church to such state-
ments as tending, when scrutinized by the right of a rigid
logic, to foster notions of priestly power which are u.tten.
able and untrue. The learned and pious men who have
advanced these high claims for the ministerial office,
pleading that their views are the natural and obvious ex-
planation of certain expressions in our formularies, have,
it is certain, been satisfied to leave the matter in some
degree of vagueness, contending perhaps, after all—when
we sift their statements—only for this undoubted truth,—
that as Christ has appointed the ministry of his Church, so
it is in all its offices, not merely in its preaching and in
its sacraments, a ministry of consolation, capable of dis-
tilling the balm of comfort in Christ's name into repentant
souls through every reverent word it speaks while fulfilling
its pastoral mission. Now, the claim of such authority as
attaching to the Presbyter's office—though, as I say, good
men in the Church have often thought that it was exagge-
rated by those who put it forward, and though there have
accordingly always been tvo schools amongst us, one up•
holding it, the other pointing out that there is danger in
making much of it—the claim, I say, of such authority for
Presbyters of the Church of England has hitherto been
usually expressed with guarded moderation, even by those
who thought most highly of it. Isolated passages may be
adduced frow cur great divines upholding the priest's
absolving power, but any dangerous application of such
passages is guarded against by the whole tenor of those
most moderate sentiments which we find breathing through
the works quoted whe.i we take them as a whole.

Sporting.

Tv DUKE OF MALAXOFF made his first appear-
pm in an English hunting field at the meet of the
Oakley bounds at Wilden, on Thursday. Captain
Arkwright, the master of the bounds, headed the
Sold, and a very numerous muster of sportsmen and
ladies made the scene one of more than usual gaiety.
Just as the bounds were thawing cover, the Duke of
Manchester came on the field, accompanied by Mar-
shal Pelissier, Duke of Malakoff, whose martial
figure was encased in a hunting suit, " top " boots,
and all the other details of a complete British
accoutrement. The marshal entered with the greatest
interest into the sport, examined everything, talked
to everybody, and by his friendly and affable manners
renewed on a peaceful field that cordiality which long
before be bad established in the field of arms and
bloodshed. A large assemblage of farmers and rus-
tles bad gathered together, who viewed the scene with
unmitigated delight. Presently a phaeton dashed up
to the throng, driven by the young Duchess of Man.
chester, at whose side sat the interesting and beau-
tiful bride of the marshal, the Duchess of Malakoff.
The one fair and northern in her beauty, the other
with all the dark grace and spirit of the south, formed
a piquant contrast. The hounds soon found, and the
fox, as in duty bound on such an occasion, compla •
cently allowed itself to be killed near the phaeton.
Captain Arkwright gallantly presented the brush to
the Duchess of Malakoff. In the evening a party
assembled at Kimbolton Castle to meet the marshal
and his bride. On Sunday both the illustrious
foreigners attended Divine service at Kimbolton
church. The duchess, who understands English,
listened with great attention, as also did the duke.
A RAVEN, shot a few days ago by a gentleman at
Heppignies, in Belgium, had round one of its wings
