PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND POLICE.

(Prom the ameitewr of yesterday.)

In its impression of March 16, the Times pretends
that the French police penetrate even into the inti-
macy of the domestic hearth, and that they introduce
uneasiness ant distrust into the relations of family
life. It adds, that it looks back with regret to the
time when it could not refuse its admiration to the
noble confidence of the Emperor " driving himself
in his phaeton," as now he can no longer go out
without beia surrounded by squadrons of escort.
Its staeient to allude to sua e.legaiions toestimate
them at their due value. Never was the French police
less inquisitorial than now. If they have redoubled
their teal since the attempt of Jan.l4, thosealone who
regret its failure can complain. As for the allegation
about the Emperor, every one knows that his
Majesty has in no respect changed his usual habits,
and that he continues to go out every day without
an escort. There is ground for astonishment that
the Times, which has so many means of being well
informed, should be able to amuse the English public
with facts so radically false.

We case wu not brought to • conclusion until late on

amjesst She. addressed the jury in a forcible speech for
Ihe dedandeints. The principal point he relied upon as an
answer le the action was that the insurance effected on the
behalf @Me deoeued James Shilling was not a bond fide in-
enranm by him, bet that the insurance was effected by his
son, Thomas Shilling, for his own benefit, and that the father
had no Interest in the matter. A number of witneues were
examined to speak to certain statements made by Thomas
Shilling. to that effect, and evidence was also adduced to show
that James Shilling was subject to fits and other ailments
which had been kept from the knowledge of the company at
the time the insurance was effected.
Mr. Justice Erle, in sunimlog up, told the jury that the
statute of the 14th George 111. was pawed expressly for the
of preventing pumas from effecting amuranora upon
proposeh ras of others for their own benefit, and he obeerved that
it was obvious that if a person were allowed to effect an in-
surance upon the life of another without the knowledge or
mention of that other, such a proceeding was calculated to
lead to • good deal of crime, and the ohject of the legislature
was to repress such a coulee of conduct. The learned judge
then called the attention of the jury to the facto of the case ell
they appeared in evidence, and said that if they were of opinion
that the innocence was effected by the eon, Thomas Shilling,
without the content or knowledge of his father, and with the
view that he himself should alone have advantage from it,
the defendants were entitled to a verdict upon the plea
which alleged that the icseranee wee en imaginary one, and
not effected for the benefit of James Shilling, but for that of

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1858,'

The Zedependesee Beige meets the English com-
plaints of the Vißefroze& lease with ► back-handed
blow, bearing on our occupation of Perim. The
Pieammetsee Gazette states that the so-called session
of the port of Villafranca to Russia consists of the
mere gratuitous concession of an old deserted bagme,
which is to be turned into a depot for provisions and
fuel (the French word combustibles is certainly
somewhat suggestive of Russian aggression). This
version of the affair has been thought sufficiently
important to assume the form of a telegram, dated
the lath inst.

The Gazette do France, in spits of its satisfaction,
upon principle, at the slight to England which some
see in the act of cession, thinks the preoedent a very
bad one, and holds that the Continental powers
should interfere and represent to Piedmont that,
under the present system of European equilibrium,
no nation has a right to cede or let any portion of its
territory. " What could be said," it concludes, "if
the King of Naples were to sell a port to England ?
What was said when it was reported that this latter
power had bought the Isle of Perim ?"
The Bonne opened this morning rather'

with extraordinary vivocity, and nee to 73fr.
25c. ; but at two o'clock a sudden relapse
began, and the Rente fell to 72fr. 75c., closing be-
tween that and 72fr. 800. Other securities to-day
experienced the same vicissitudes. Mobilier
closed at 920 fr., Orleans railway at 1,422 fr. 60e.,
and Lyons at 855 fr., it being inferred, from the
extensive transactions effected, that there was a
disposition to sell in order to meet the settlement.

lately commanding the garrison of Lucknow, of the

PARIS, TVMSDAT ETKlftlfo.

The great feature of the Bourse yesterday was
the rise in the Credit Mobilier. To-day this situa-
tion is precisely reversed. Mobilier has fallen 60tr.
and has dragged down the Rente with it. The
reason for the fall is that the negotiations which
have been some time pending for a fusion between
the Credit Mobilier and the credit establishment of

Gilley St. Paul are broken off ; the latter is now
flirting with the syndicate of bankers. The Rents
fell 20c. foe esah and 100. for account, closing at
ffer. 80e. and 70fr. 20c. The railways were better
sustained than the Rents, bat still felt the depress-
ing influence of the day. Nearly all the lines fell
10fr. ; Grand Central fell 2fr. 00c.
M. Dafaure, the father of the ex-Minister of the
Interior in the time of the republic of 1848, and
now, as then, one of the most eminent members
of the French bar, both as an advocate and a lawyer,
has just died in Paris at the age of 88.
General Lamoriciere, with family, has arrived at

PIEDMONT.

In the sitting of the 9th of the Chamber of
Deputies at Turin the report on the election of
Montmeillan was brought forward, and it stated that
a protest had been sent in, signed by sixty elec-
tors, including some syndics, complaining that
the priests bad used spiritual intimidation to induce
electors to vote for the candidate of the right (M.
Leblanc). After a long debate, in which the right
strenuously defended the conduct of the priesthood,
and maintained that the protest did not specify any
particular facts, a motion for an investigation was
carried. Two other elections were confirmed in the
same sitting.

with. The most important witness examined
was Ur. Smith, the late manager of the Uverpool Borough
Bank, who described the nature of the trannotion• between
the bank and Doherty. He said that, in addition to the
usual transactions between banks and their customers, the
Borough Bank took up bills of lading, which were held upon
Doherty's acceptances, as collateral security. Doherty
had a brother in New York, who made ship-
ments of provisions to him (the biWumpt). On the bills of
for these provisions the brother raised money In
Newkork, by pledging them to various bill brokers, who
held or remitted them to their English correspondents. It
was to enable the bankrupt to get possession of these bills
that he used to ask the Borough Bank to guarantee the pay-
ment of the bills. The bank agreed to this, on receiving a
written statement from him that he had sold the produce to
much and much persona. On receiving the bills, the bank-
ing* would bead to the bank a second letter. These written
statements of the bankrupt as to sales of produce were after-
weeds found be many cases to be fraudulent. Mr. Smith

DRAMA.

ABTIITS.

The Indian rebellion has again furnished the
dramatist of the great tranapontine circus with • subject for
a truly Lathy= drama, in which all the resources of the
management's equeetrien production, scenic and pyrotechnic,
are brought Into successful operation. The title of the new
plies Is the Await in Mc Bait, or Me Fla/Wyss dud their
Faithful Stood, and It tells in its action the difficulties, the
steihringe, and the hair-breadth escapee from death to worse
than death that an English family undergo in their endea-
vours to escape from their home, a British factory In Upper
India, down to the Pea, and the friendly refuge of a British
hisses Of course, the " Faithful Steed" is the principal
elmweeter, and the manner In which he plays his
pert proves indisputably that, if be is not gifted
with the genies of • Garrick or a Yea; he is a
mita mks, whomever abeam himself tam miarmal, sad
whew by tommast study end Arad e% Ire Mang te that
enviable periods. in his preheats of never "mining his
cue." In the present instates he has less to do than usually
falls to the lot of the leading quadruped; but what little he
has to do be does well, and by standing sentinel over sleep-
ing women and children—firing pistols to warn them of
daares when exposed to the treachery of Thugs, and gallop-
ing away with them at the very moment when the
presence of mutinous Sepoys sad rebellious Rajahs would
render an instant's delay fatal--contrllates mainly not
only to the escape of the family, but to the
MOONS of the drams. There are of course all the incidents
which are nasally to be found in this class of spectacle—
exciting combats, generous sacrifices, lovers parted and
reunited, treason punished, sad valour rewarded; but a
little more liberal introduction of combo mama end low
comedy characters would, we think, tend to relieve the
monotony which even " thrilling interest" extended through-
out four long sots produces, and give it • more permanent
hold on public approbation. It is almost superfluous to nay
that the biped pottion of the dramatis persona was se au fah
at their work se their four-footed conframe, and with them
divide the plaudits of the animal. There is some good
dancing by )(dile. Mason!.

THE LATE ANDREW SHORTREDE.

This gentlemen—late proprietor of the Mims
Mail-- Eed at Bad-Brucker:lan, in Bavaria, on the
31st ult., of Morbus Brightii. His remains have been
deposited in the burial ground at Zeitloffs ; the chief
magistrate of the dish:et, the lord of the manor, all
the English and many of the foreign visitors of the
watering place attending the ceremony ; and the
Rev. J. C. Murray Aynesley reading the English I
service in the German language. Mr. Shortrede was
an Olive of the Edinburgh Batliuttyner, and for his
taste as a typographer allowed by all to ;zi;t
thought by seam to surpass, his teachers.
established at Edinburgh, novena work, of high ty-
pographical merit issued from kis press. The after-
working of the great Constable failure was still felt
when he entered upon badness ; and, find-
laing it &Scutt to make in Soot.
nd, he betook himself to dung Kong,
shortly after the island had been acquired
for the British Crown. The Chase Mail, which he
started immediately after his arrival in the colony,
is such a specimen of elegant typography and lucid
arrangement as had never before been witnessed in
the Eastern Hemisphere. Mr. Shortrede's abilities
u a printer, and his regularity as a man of business,
obtained and retained for him the Government bad-
ness. But the tone of the Chine Mail was perfectly
independent. In some of his views Mr. Shortrede
was undoubtedly what is "an original."
Many persona who came into contact with him
alleged that he was "impracticable." But his inte-
grity was above suspicion. These lines are
written by one who, after an intimate ars-
quaintasee of more than thirty years, can
direly say that he never knew a more honest
ftee or a truer friend. A native of Jedburgh—
sprung from a family with which Walter Soott had
intimate relations—Andrew Shortrede was a staunch
Tory of the old Border type. His original princi-
ples—in so far as home politics are concerned—he
retained to the last " the child was father of the
man." The men and affairs among whom he
was thrown in China he judged with an un-
biassed mind and with rare shrewdness. His views
of the soundest policy for Englishmen in China
were at once benevolent, high-minded, and just.
Some of his views have been deteloped in the
columns of the Daily News, under the signature of
"An Outside Barbarian." By his natural abilities
' and acquired skill, and by steady, judicious in-
dustry, he acquired a competence ; but disease, en-
gendered by the climate of China, forbade him to
enjoy it. He is sincerely mourned by the whole
circle of his acquaintance. In his declining health
he was affectionately tended by an attached friend—
Mr. R. Rieuaecker.
