dictatorial system of government. Still had M.
DE PERSIGNY chosen any notables of the town or
district, he would not have been opposed. Bat
it pleased PERsD;MY to pass all of them
over, and to send down thither for election M.
EUCHEVAL-CLARIONY, an ex-editor of the Consti-
tutionnet, whose name had never been heard of in
the ,irrontli.oenu )tt to which he was sent. At the
very name of a stranger opposition sprung up ;
all classes consulted secretly ; • manufacturer and
employer of the town, M. PINAR; was set up.
He received the votes of all parties, except of the
placemeo and poorer fishermen, whom the sous-
',Wet drove to the poll, and the Opposition candi-
date carried the day by an immense majority.
If the Imperial Government perseveres in its
present course, and has ever the ill luck to have
a PERSIONY to manage new elections, what
has happened at Boulogne will occur in hundreds of
constituencies, and the Government will find itself
at last in a minority. Indeed, the country would
not have had so long to wait, had it so chanced
that it could have previously been instructed by
the example of Paris, and of other districts, which
had so triumphantly returned Liberals. But in
civil or constitutional French life no one will en-
gage in a perilous enterprise. You must give a
Frenchman the promise of victory before you can
expect him to mount the breach.
On the whole, the elections have been most pro-
fitable. At least, they may be made so by those
who will exert themselves to profit by them. The
Frenchman may see now a plain road to the re-
covery of all his best rights. The Govern-
ment, too, must see that it has mistaken
the terms upon which France can be governed.
The plan of making France a workshop, and
expecting the labourers to vote for the govern-
ment that pays them, has evidently failed. And
the EMPEROR must introduce or re-introduce a sys-
tem, which, instead of leaning upon one class of the
nation, and that the most unintelligent, may ap-
peal to all and content all, giving them the proper
and fair means both of forming an opinion and of
expressing it. When this has been done France
will not be far from liberty.

in whose favour. It has been surmised that the
church would rather vote for M. Fouchd Lopelle-
tier, the government candidate, than for such a
furious enemy of the tempor►l power as M. Gue-
roult. lam told, however, by some of the consti-
tuency that the majority, at any rate, of the
Cochin Chino's (that is the name invented for M.
Cochin's friends) will certainly not vote for the
government candidate. His own letter of resig-
nation, though not distinctly saying in whose
favour he wishes to resign, speaks of the electors as
liberal" and "independent," both which terms
are inconsistent with an expectation that they will
vote for the government candidate. I think M.
Gueroult's return on Sunday next certain.

EARL CARDIGAN V. LIRUT.-COLOXIL CALTHORPE. -TRY
LIGHT CAVALRY CRARGI AT BALARLA VA.
. .

The further hearing of the arguments in this case was
resumed this morning.
Mr. Garth was heard on behalf of the Earl of Cardigan
in support of the rule. He did sat eater into the detail: of
the aayitt, but addressed himself to the three point.
relied on by Lieutenant-Colonel Calthorpe for the discharge
of the rule. The last point, that the publication of
the alleged libel was made bona tide, was
question for the jury, if the criminal information were
granted, and therefore he had only to deal with the two re.
massing points—first, that the alleged libel was adman.
tinily true. Lieut.-CoL Calthorpe had not sought to justify
it by affidavit, bt had admitted it to be untrue without mak.
log an apology. In the first edition of the work
the charge against Earl Cardigan was written in a gip.
' pant style and by an inferior officer on • @opera
officer. It might have been written on incorrect
information or from prejudice, but when he was called os
for an explanation there was inserted a bitter sarcasm on
his lordship's superior horsemanship, retaining the sting
I complained of. It was put on the other side that the
remark wee a compliment on his lordship's horseman.
ship, but that was absurd, and an insult to comma
sense. The most generous coarse to pursue would have
been to retract it, and make a full and ample apology ; but
he refused to do so, and treated his lordship's reputation se
a plaything. This was a slander by an officer of campus-
tively low rank, and but of few years standing, against
a general officer of thirty or forty years service;
and its retractation, if it could be called such, was
made in the most unhandsome, the most tun:algid
the most unbecoming, and the most ungenerous style,
for its effect was only to change the charge which he
had been brought before the court to answer. Earl
Cardigan's conduct was irreproachable. The time when he
left the ground with his men in that memorable charge and
re-formed was only twenty minutes. The distance they had
to travel was smile and • quarter, ands they all had to cut
their way through the Human battery was it to be expected
that the Earl of Cardigan was to remain and be taken pri-
soner by the Russians ? Lord Lucan, who had made an
affidavit in this case in a tone that he would not now dis-
cuss, in his report of the battle to Lord Raglan described the
charge NI the most brilliant and daring, and that the Earl of
Cardigan led the attack in an intrepid and gallant manlier.
Lord Raglan, in his report, acknowledged the courage and
daring of every man engaged in the attack. It wag not
idle clattery on the part of Lord Lucan, who was juatified
in all he said, and Lord Raglan was justified in all he
wrote on that and other information in his complimentary
report of Earl Cardigan's conduct, a few clays after.
He would rather trust Earl Cardigan's conduct
in their hands than those of a young officer of three or four
years' service. Taking the matter in dispute as between
man and man, Earl Cardigan had endeavoured to obtain re.
paration from Liens-Colonel Calthorpe, but without sue
COWL His lordship justly felt indignant and annoyed at the
libel ; and it was not to be surprised that he applied at
first to the Horse Guards for a oourtmartisl,
I believing that to be the proper tribunal to afford him
that tedres which was denied him by Lieutenant-Colonel
Calthorpe. Attempts were then made by mutual friends,
which only led to further provocations. The admission that
had now been made might have been done so in • more ge-
nerous spirit.
The Lord Chief Justice said—l can entertain no doubt
that the passage in the work upon which this application
I has been made for • criminal information contains a mot
serious libel on the Earl of Cardigan. I think
it is Impossible to read the passage without cowing
to the conclusion that that which it is intended
to convey is au imputation on the Earl of Car.
digan, of his having been wanting in his duty
at a time when be was in command of the detachment of
cavalry ordered to take the Russian battery, and of
having been wanting in his duty throughout of personal
courage. It is true that in the first edition of the work the
absence of Earl Cardigan (whose presence as a general officer
was necessary) was ascribed to an accident. It was
said that his horse, alarmed by the die
charge of a gun close to his bead, swerved, and carried him
in spite of himself off the field which was clearly in.
tended to convey that the Earl of Cardigan never
reached the battery with the detachment under
his command owing to an accident. The Earl
of Cardigan, feeling that he had reason to complain
of this statement, as well as others contained
in the work, made it the subject of complaint and remon-
strance, and in the second edition a notice was prefixed to
the work, which in the third edition was incorporated in the
shape of a note into the body of the work. The failure of Lord
Ciusligan's reaching the battery with his men was withdrawn,
and in the shape of a compliment, ostensibly on the face
of it, but which in my judgment conveys the bitterest ear-
cum disguised under a compliment. The imputation was
that it was not owing to the fault of his horse, but to his
own fault, that he did not reach the scene of danger and
conflict into which the others entered and pealed.
That conveys, and was intended to convey, an
imputation that the Earl of Cardigan was wanting
in personal courage in the discharge of his military duty.
To say that a soldier ordered to attack an enemy —moth
more a general officer whose duty it is to lead others into
action—stopped short midway in the path that led to
danger and perhaps death, whilst others went on, without
any obstacle to prevent his accompanying them—must con-
vey to the minds of all, whether military men or civilians,
imputations of personal cowardice, disgrace, and dishonour.
It is therefore impossible not to feel that this is a matter of
the most libellous character. Heaven forbid that the tine
should ever come when the honour, courage, and reputation
of our soldiers and sailors engaged in the service of their
country should be deemed to be that which the law will
not protect when unjustly and unjustifiably assailed. Look-
ing to the position of the parties and also its importance to
the services to which the objectionable passages refers, it is
rt matter to be properly made the subject of a criminal in-
formation unless some special cause be shown to the
contrary. His lordship then at considerable leustb
entered into the details of the c rcumstaaces of
the case, and observed that the court did not regret the time
the case had consumed as it had given Lord Cardigan to
opportunity of justifying his conduct, and he regretted that
Lieut.-Colonel Calthorpe had not made • more gracious re-
tractation. The fact disclosed by the defendant in his affi-
davit and alto Mr. Murray's that the unpublished copies
of the Wit edition on which alone • rule could have
been granted were destroyed, entirely cut away the maid
for this rule, and had that circumstance been known when
the ruled was moved for it would not have been granted.
It had, however, been clearly shown that that fact war
unknown at the time to Fad Cardigan or his solicitor
Under that circumstance the rule must be discharged, but
without coats.
Rule discharged accordingly.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Blom BramwelL)
NANSLAUGHTIM.

Hairy Short, 31, a Lime man, who walked with a crutch,
wee charged with the manslaughter of James Scully.
Mr. Taylor prosecuted.
The deceased was an old man, and it appeared that be
was employed by the guardians of St. Luke's parish to
admit 2;:licants for relief at the workhouse, and he
wee so on the morning of the 27th of March, the
day on which the occurrence took place that was the sub-
ject of inquiry. The prisoner applied at the workhouse,
and attempted to force his way in, and this led to a scuffle,
during which the deceased fell. in consequence, as was al.
leged, of the prisoner putting his crutch between his lap,
and the consequence was that his thigh was broken. The
result was that he died of this injury on the 17th of May
following.
The prisoner in hie defence asserted that the deceased
struck him first, and that he received the injury by falling
accidentally.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended
him to mercy on the graced of his having received provoca-
tion and his being a cripple. lie had already been in custody
for ten weeks.

Baron Bramwell sentenced him to be further imprisoned
for one month.

4;;tiogyett, a middle-aged woman, dressed in deep
mourning, surrendered to take her trial for the manslaughter
of William Henry Doggett.
The case was of a very peculiar character. The offence
imputed to the prisoner was, that she had, by graze=
lect and ill-treatment, caused the death of her b
It appeared that the deceased was suffering from dropsy,
and that hie illness was of such a character that it was
impossible he could have recovered, bat it was alleged
that the prisoner had accelerated his death by
neglecting to give him his medicine, and by
neglecting him in other respects in a most gross
manner. The learned counsel for the prosecution opened
the case as one in which it was doubtful whether the charge
was one chat was legally sustainable, and it appeared that
the greater portion of the acts imputed to the prisoner were
committed while she was in a helpless state of intoxication,
andj that when she was sober she behaved kindly to the
deceased, and he expressed himself to be satisfied with her
conduct towards him. _ _

—iiii.;iiealiWitCeTeeeeWere examined in support of the charge,
and from the evidence of one of them it appeared that on
the day the deceased died the prisoner was drunk, and that
she sat upon the floor in bin bedroom with a bottle of brandy
before her at the time he was dying. It was proved
aho that she was very neglectful of him and was almost
constantly drunk, and upon one occasion the unhappy de-
ceased, when in an almost dying condition, was compelled
to get out of bed and go downstairs to let the nurse in, the
prisoner being at the time helplessly drunk upon the bed.
.The demised was also kept! in a most dirty state,
and the prisoner several time* exclaimed that he bad been
dying for five years and was not dead yet, and she also said
that she wished he was dead. It also appeared that upon
another occasion the prisoner and that she had got the will
in her pocket, and that nothing could prevent her from
having the property of the deceased.
The learned Judge, at the close of the ease for the prose-
cution, expressed hue opinion that the evidence was not suf.
ficient to support the charge against the prisoner, and he
therefore directed a verdict of Not Guilty.

TEI CABZ OF TR! REV. NB. WYCUERLET.

10;11 Joke if' , a fellow who get. Lis liviag by hawk-
ing books about the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, was
cloned before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following cowardly
meson on a female, Lamed Oates, residing in Rathbone-
plaos.
The complainant, a young married woman, said she was
on her way to see an invalid female, and when she was
crossing the top of the Haymarket, having at the time a
bottle of port wine under her shawl, the prisoner asked her
to buy a book of him. She refused and the prisoner thou
struck her a violent blow on the cheat with his fist, breahing
her brooch, smashing the bottle, and hurting her a good
deal. A constable then came up to whom she gave the
prisoner in charge.
Sergeant Allen, 20 C, said that he took the prisoner into
custody, ward gentlemen saying the prisoner had violently
struck the oompkinant.
Mr. Tyrwhitt having made some severe remarks on the
prisoner's cowardly conduct committed him for six weeks
with hard labour.
