South Fastern terminus, London-bridge, mid that he was
on duty inside the terminus on Tuesday morning, when be

watched them, and they left the station. About eight
o'clock in the evening as the mail train was getting ready
he saw them on the platform again, and he watched them
go in and out of the various waiting rooms, and they re-
turned to the platform. fie distinctly saw Green lift up a
lady's dress, covered by her companion, and then be took
them into custody. Unfortunately the train started, so
that he was unable to ascertain whether the lady was robbed
or not.

Mr. Edwin, who appeared for the priaoners, contended

epeetable females, but they declined to give their real ad-

(FROM 001 OWN

PARIS, WZDNINDLY EVOITNCI.

The terrible M. Troplong—true to bis singularly
appropriate name, true to the genius which pro-
duced those ponderous and innumerable volumes
on which rest the foundation of his legal fame, and
in which the simplest propositions are cruelly de-
monstrated with legions of unnecessary words—
yesterday inflicted upon the Senate his report upon
the Senatus Consultum, destined to give legal
shape and validity to the alterations in the consti-
tution, decided upon by the Emperor last month,
and explained rationally and fully iu the celebrated
letter of M. Fould. This awful document occupies
fifteen columns of close print in the Mui/ear : it
is four times as long as the American President's
Message ! and the only q. e. d. is that the Emperor
is right—quite right—aud not by a hair's
breadth too much or too little right, which every-
body knew before. I cannot attempt to analyse
this long-winded essay, which I seriously
doubt whether any human being in the world—
that world now so much occupied with really
important matters—will have read through atten-
tively, unless it be M. Troplong himself. In order,
however, to perform my duty as an impartial
chronicler, let me record that M. Grandguillot, in
the Pays, says of the performance, " It is a com-
plete treatise, in which we admire at once the
impartiality of the historian, the sebnoe of the
jurisoonsult, and the profound wisdom of the
statesman."

The Temps asserts in its " Latest News" that
"the French government has made overtures to
the cabinets of St. Petersburg, Vienna, and Berlin,
with a view to such understanding in regard to
the questions raised by the Anglo-American con-
flict as may lead to a common action, in the even-
tuality of • mediation." The "inspired" prints
say nothing of this news, which comes under the
bead of "important if true."
The Bonne was in a slight degree favourably
affected by the New York news of the 7th, which
is considered more pacific. Rents rose 10c. for
cash, and 200. for account, closing at 67fr. 10c. and
67fr. 40c. Mobilier rose llfr. 25c. The Orleans
Railway rose lofr., and Lyons and Southern sfr.
each. The other lines were only a franc or two
higher. The Italian Loan fluctuated greatly, and
left off rather lower.

The French journals, in commenting upon the
symptoms of war between England and the
Northern states of America, which unfortunately
are but too threatening, lay undue stress upon the
report that MM. Mason and Slidell have been
transferred to the prison bearing the ominous
name of "Tombs," and which they assume is
destined exclusively for the reception of prisoners
condemned to death. The fact is that the "Tombs"
is simply a prison so named from the architectural

Mr. Ablett, aolieitor, applied to Mr. Barker fox a sum-
mons under the Libel Act, under the following circum-
stances:—

Thu applicant stated that for Rome data past he had
been very much annoyed by a man of the name of Robinson
having posted on the walls libellous handbills of which the
following is a copy Absconded, from 25, Colleges►reet,
Camden•town, Ablett, the well•known county court soli-
citor. Whoever will give such information as to cause his
apprehension, to T. Robinson, 15, Church-way, Euston-
road, shall be handsomely rewarded." Robinson also
abused him, threatened to strike him and otherwise
bim. Under these circumstances he Mato apply for a sum-
moss for publishing a libel.
Mr. Barker said the cue was one of great difficulty and
trouble, and although he would not refuse the summons,
he thought Mr. Ablett had better take time to consider the
m►tter.

Ili.Ablett said he should like a summons for the threat-
ening and abusive language. As he went in fear he took a
constable with him to take down the libellous bill, and
Robinson then said that had it not been for the presence
of the constable he would break his (the applicant's) head.
Mr. Barker granted the summons for the abusive and
threatening language.

THIRD COURT.

The Common Serpent presided in this court during the
day. and was occupied in trying the prisoners charged with
passing counterfeit coin. The learned gentleman was Mai.
laity occupied the whole of yesterday in the New Court.
The list of this class of offenders, considering the short
period that has elapsed since the last session, is an unusually
heavy one, them being no fewer than 24 pawns so charged
out of a calendar containing 89 names. In nearly all the
cow Is which previous meekness were proved the Common
&risme peened sentences of penal servitude, and told the
convicts that the judges, owing to the increase in this class
of offenders, had given imperative orders, except in very
special cases, that this coarse should be pursued.
The only case to which it is nexesery to sdvert is that of
• man named Reid, and • worms named Dane, who
cohabited with him, who were indicted for coining. The
case was folly giver last week in the police reports, and it is
therefore enough to lay that the 'prisoner was ac-
quitted, and the male prisoner, Bead, whn was proved to
have already served six yeses panaliperntude for a similar
offence, and bad received • ve was conviMed
and sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude.

diately laid hold of me, and held me tight, while one of
them put her hand into my trousers pocket and pulled my
purse out. I called out for the police, and they all ran into
• house close by. I waited outside for the police, thinking
they could not get away, but there was a thoroughfare
through the house. Shortly afterwards the prmoner mane
out of the house and set down upon • handbarrow,: as if
nothing had occurred. I bad in my pane two MC notes,
three 101. notes, a cheque for NO/. on the Hitchin Bank,

cold in my purse. I first saw the prisoner about 4 o'ckick
in the afternooo about a mile from Holborn-hill. I was in
a public-house, ;ind she came in and I treated her to half a
pint of beer. I remained in the public-bouse for some time,
and when I came out I saw the prisoner waiting outside, and
she followed me about all the evening until I was eventually

WASHINGTON, Dac. S.
The correspondence of the State Department,
submitted by the President, has been printed and
read by all who are interested in our foreign rela-
tions. That part of the comepoocleuce held with
Mr. Adams has attracted special attention, and the
impression left by it is • very decided one that our
Minister at the Court of St. James will act with
ability, discretion, and manliness, should the Trent
affair become the subject of diplomatic correspon-
dence. The President has impressed himself very
decidedly within • day or two as favou ring &cautious,
pacific policy towards all foreign governments at
this peculiar time. "Otte war at • time !" was his
remark to an impetuous gentleman who was en-
deavouring to show the power of this country to
beat England iu a *inflict upon our shores, should
such a result ensue. The policy of the President
and of • majority of the Cabinet is to avoid any
I..etilities with any foreign power during the ex-
istence of the rebellion, If tt cau be honourably
avoided, and no anxiety is felt by the government
on this score.

AMERICA.

NEW YOBS, Dec. 13, EMININO.
(Per City of Baltimore, AA Queenstown.)

The European advice* brought by the Hansa to
New York are generally interpreted by the New
York press as favourable to the maintenance of
peace between England and America.
The New York journals publish some further
diplomatic correspondence between Mr. Adams and
Mr. Seward. In this correspondence Mr. Adams
states that, while in conversation with Earl
Russell in June last, be referred to the fact of
British troops having been sent to Canada. Earl
Russell replied that as Canada had been de-
nuded of troops some time since it was only a
proper measure of precaution, and said that
he did not know what the United States
might do. Earl Russell also said some-
thing about a threat uttered by Mr. Seward to
Lord Lyons, that British vessels would be seized
on Lake Ontario without ceremony.
President Lincoln has refused to furnish Congress
at present with the correspondence between the
Federal government and foreign powers relative to
the Mexican intervention.

Five hundred Federals will immediately occupy
Tybee Island.
A government agent has been appointed to super-
intend the packing of cotton by the aid of negroes
in the neighbourhood of Beaufort.
According to advices from Kentucky, the Fede-
rals have destroyed the bridges between Bowling•
green and Memphis.
Vessels from Southern porta continue to arrive
at Havannah.

Federal accounts state that Fort Pickens was
unhurt in the late engagement, but that Warrington
and part of the Pensacola Navy Yard were burnt.
A despatch from Fortress Monroe announces that
a large fire bad broken out in Charleston, which
was supposed to be the work of incendiaries.
Several public buildings had been destroyed.
The New York Beraki states that agents from
the Mexican government have arrived at New
York, for the purpose of fitting out privateers to
prey upon French, English, and Spanish merchant
vessels.

It appears very probable that an engagement
will soon take place in Kentucky.
The Canada journals report considerable activity
throughout Canada in organising the militia and
volunteers.

The Europa passed Cape Race on the 13th Dec.,
but was not iutereepted. The British gunboat
Landrail and the Swedish frigate Lorkoopingbam
had arrived at New York.

The Chamber of Nobles of Wurtemberg, the

some clauses which were rejected by the Chamber
of Deputies, the vote, according to the Cuurrier

of the spirit of the nineteenth coutury over the
tendencies end the pretensions of religious domi-
nation revived from tunes which henceforth

to the Emperor Napoleon, says that the cordial
meeting of the two Sovereigns affords the country
good prospects of an increase of the peaceful and
friendly relations existing between Prussia and
France, and that the cordial reception of the Royal

tion that France no less than Germany appreciates

them as a valuable token of a satisfactory future.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.
On Thursday evening, after the despatch of our
reporters' parcel, a microscopic .oiWe took place at the Free
Trade-hall, which was crowded by a brilliant assemblage of
upwards of 2,•500 members of the association. In the centre
of the hall, extol/din three parts of the entire length, were
ranged two long tattles, upon which were displayed about to
rnicrimopes, of various abet and power*. (..kiii.mencing with
n microscopic circular of the association for OWL and a
group of portraits of Davy, Wollaston, Faraday, and Dal-
ton, the exhibition entered upon the wide field of animal
life. A section of the heman brain, strikingly distinct, was
followed by a section of the human finger, • tongue of a cat,
part of the horn of an lodian ox, &c. The testate& were
represented by embryo oysters ; the birds by the feather
of • humming bird ; but it was in the insect department
that this section of the exhibition was the strongest. The
gizeml of a cricket, the eye of a beetle, and the foot of •
spider ; ludicrous as the bill of fare sounds, each pre.
seated as object of surpassing intarest viewed through
the microscopic lens. At the second table the exhibition
was chiefly conlioed to the productions of the vegetable
kingdom. Dere, where all was eo beautiful, it was
scarcely possible to select one object as more worthy
et notice than another, but the fungus on • leaf,
exhibited by Mr. Mo►ley, and the pollen of mallow,
contributed Ire Mr. Ileys, were certainly not ex-
ceeded in beauty. la front of the orchestra, on two
small tables, were placed a variety of products of the
minima kingdom, amongst which the hypenthene, exhi-
bited by Mr..lansou, in • binocular microscope lent by
Mr. Murray taadatooe, was perhaps the most admired.
The models and ;other objects of interest (including a fine
electrical machine), ranged round the walls of the building,
nod the beautiful works of art displayed in the galleries,
divided with the microscopes the attention of the visitors.
During the evening, Mr. W. T. Best, of St. Georges Hall,
Liverpool, gave, with fine effect, a selection from Ilaodel,
Xerelclasohn, Beethoven, and other of the great masters,
ce the large erase of the Hall lu the pike), a aeries of
miceocopes, representing anatomy and physiology, were
placed ; and in the ►nte-room and assembly-roues soil draw.
iog.rooni, were further interesting iniscellancous objects.
By far the greater number of the nth:me:epee and objects
were lent for the evening by gentlemen resident in the
oeighbourhood, to whom, certainly, • large ►mount of
credit is due for their thoughtful liberality ; but several
eminent makers shoo contributed, their instrument* and
objcets being arranged ha the upper roues.
