PARIS, FRIDAY Evicaso.

The following extract from the text of the judg-
ment in the Mirbs case shows that the special rules
of morality which have been so strongly insisted
upon as applicable to bankers are not yet adopted by
French courts of law.

Whereas, in 1856, 1857,1858, and 1863, clients of the
Caine Generale dew Chemins de For, to the number of 333,
deposited with Mires and Solar, managers of the said canoe,
as security for advances to them on account current, wit-
ritie, (titres), p►yable to bearer, of divers nature and
origin.

iiherese the greater pert of these securities were laid by
the said managers almost as soon as deposited, without the
consent of and without notice to the depositors ;
That this sale, effected at high prices, which produced
a sum of upwards of tan millions of francs, was concealed
from the clients,who were, moreover, carefully kept in error
by the receipt of periodical accounta,sent to them by the said
managers, In which they were debited with interest on the
sums advanced to them, and credited with the produce of
supposed coupons belonging to securities which no longer
existed in the mine.

Whereas at the end of April and the beginning of May,
1850, political events having produced a considerable fall at
the Bourse, Mires and Solar conceived the common idea,
which was carried into execution by Mires, of fraudulently
liquidating their situation with regard to their clients, and
fictitiously selling at low quotations the securities which
they no longer had in their possession, since they had in
reality sold them at an antecedent period when prices were
high.

it-berets, in order to realise this idea, the result of
which was intended to be to relieve the managers from the
whole or part of their obligations, sad to obtain for their
own benefit the difference between the pekes of the real
and the fictitious sale, Mir* on April 30 sad May 2 and 3,
1159, addressed a circular letter to the 333 clients who had
made deposits with the Caisse, to advise them that under
then existing circumstances it appeared prudent to the
said managers to sell those securities at the current prices
of the day ; that to this letter was appended au account re.

SURREY SESSION'S.

The May adjourned sesslotie for the county of Surrey
commenced yesterday morning at the Scesiumehouse, New-
ington-causeway, before Mr. Johnson, chairman, Mr. Tarpon,
deputy chairman, and a full bench of magistrates, consisting
of the following gentlemen : —Mr. Coodbait, Mr. Dennis,
Hr. Raggully, Mr. Phillips, Lieut.-Colonel M'l)onald, Cap-
tain M•Dompil, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Whiteley. The calen•
dar contains the names of 44 prisoners for trial : 36 are for
felony, and 8 for misdemeanour. There are two other pri-
soners, Copping and Saunders, who were tried at the March
sessions for committing • forcible entry, and assaulting
Charles Percival in his dwelling-house at Walworth. The
jury found them guilty, and they were held to bail to ap-
pear at the present sessions to receive judgment. The fol.
lowing is the state of education-14 are entirely devoid of
education, 11 can only read, 3 write, and 21 are of imper-
fect education. On the grand jury being called, two of
them were fined for nonattendance.
On the grand jury being chosen, the Chairman said he
was sorry to inform them that there were • great number
of cases to investigate in comparison with the number tried
at thecorrespondiug period laat year. Then there wereonly 3.1
prisoners on the calendar, but now there were 44, and no
doubt sevend more would be added before it was com-
pleted. Host of the cases were ordinary ones of felony.
Them were twelve for simple larceny, twelve for robberies
from the person, two for robbing their masters—offences
which, he was sorry to say, had been much ou the inerease
lately. At • recent sessions there had been seven of these
cases, but now he was glad to see only two. There were
only two fur embezzlement—.that was • stealing from the
master, but in a different form. There were four pri•
goners for obtaining goods by false pretence., and one for
horsestealing. There wee also e very grave charge of
assault against a man for an attempted rape, and
another for committing grievous bodily harm, both of
which would lie brought under their consideration, and
he would advise them to trod true bills if the facie
were generally to their satisfaction. There was one very
peculiar case in the calendar, which he would mention. It
was that of • man named Oswego Collins, who warn charged
with " being advertised to fight a pitch battle publicly
with one Henry Moak at Battersea." That was a misde-
meanour and • serious violation of the law, as it was in-
tended to provoke • breach of the peace. They need not
trouble themselves with the mere distinction of the ease, '
but if the facts were substantial] y made out ea set forth in
the indictment, they would find the bill. He had 00 further
remarks to make to them, excepting the nature of the per-
formance of their duty, which he had no doubt most of
them were acquainted with ; therefore he should dismiss
them to their duties.
The grand jury then retired.

ASTLEY'S.

This once popular place of amusement, after
being closed for some months, and its properths, including
its famous stud of cream-coloured and mottled horses, die.
posed of by public suction, was opened last night, and the
well-known attractions of the arena and the stage again
exhibited to numerous and applauding circle. ..f sp„,,r,sitors.
The bills announce that the management of the theatre is
in entirely new bands, but there hat been little or no de-
parture from the old modes of winning the presence of the
public. The horses were as shrewd as of old. They
prated, enr•adled, and curvetted with the usual grace
and Master Adolphus Boerne, Mr. and Mrs. Palmer, Miss
Palmer, Mdlle. Annie, and Mr. Ricluuda, rode them as cle-
verly, and leaped them through hoops as wonderfully as ever.
Moon. Fisher, Nice, Nicole, and Moleno performed the
most surprising feats on the "eying trapeze," on "the
double ladders," and in various other ways above and on
the ground, which excited by turns the terror, the wonder,
and the applause of the spectators. "An Arabian Fa.,"
in which a grand Turkish ballet was introdueed, succeeded
to the sans of the arena ; and the evening's amusements
wound up with "The Mill iu an Uproar," • comic ballet,
which win well executed, and afforded • favourable oppor-
tunity of estimating the streogth and resources of the
management, Mr. Lauri taking the principal part. The
theatre has been newly painted, and looked cheerful. The
venous entertainments succeeded each other in rapid sue.
cession. Nu effort seemed to have Leen spared to provide •
good Whitsuntide bill of fare, and it was accepted us such.

TURKEY AND MONTENEGRO.

It will be remembered that the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Porte, in a manifesto to the
different European courts, dated the close of
August, after stating a variety of charges against
Montenegro, announced that Omer Pacha, the
Cowniauder-in-Chief of the Ottoman Army, had
received orders to commence hostilities against the
Montenegrins. The Porte has since proposed to
raise the blockade of Montenegrt, ou the condition
that the prince and the senate's would sign a
pledge to respect in future the Ottoman territory ;
but this proposition has been formally rejected,
and the blockade has been re-established in the
most rigorous manner. The contest is now expected
to become a severe one.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Amongst other interesting additions to the in-
creasing attractions of this society may be mentioned a
cactus plant studded with the cochineal insect, which has
just been presented to the society by J. S. Adams, Esq., of
No. 8, Philpot.lane, and is now to be seen iti the great con-
servatory at Chiawick. No description that we have met
with gives a very correct idea of the appearance of this
curious insect on the leaf. The whole leaf looks as if dusted
over with the finest flour, amongst which hang the little
round cochineal aphides, more thickly whitened than the

White bad been partially scraped off, leaving a glossy purple

the sittings of the Council of State, which has just
been instituted for the kingdom of Poland. He
delivered a brief speech, in which he announced the
presentation of the budget for 1862, u well as some

a alight allusion to the agitation prevailing in the
city, and maintained complete silence respecting
the views of the Emperor and the principles on
which the government will act.

The New York Herald of the 25th Sept. Faye :

We are enabled to give very interesting details of the
action at Lexington, Missouri, where, after four days'
' bud fighting, the gallant Colonel Mulligan was compelled
to surrender to a forte which outnumbered his brave garrison
eight to one. For fifty-nine hours )he men bad not a drop
of water to quench their thirst, the enemy having cut them
off from the ricer, and all the wells and springs in the town
being dried up. Previous to his surrender Colonel Mul-
ligan offered to take his army out to • level
piece of ground, and fight the rebel general
in the open field with the odds of four to one
against him, but the challenge was declined, and capitulation
became an inevitable necessity. The gallant commander,
Colonel Mulligan, is said to have wept like • child when he
found himself compelled to surrender, and it must hove
proved a bitter trial to him and the undaunted fellow.
whom he commanded.

THE MILLTOWN•ROAD OUTRAGE.

The intended meeting of the cab proprietors of
Dublin was held on Friday evening in their rooms, Fish-
amble-street. The place was crowded to excess with cab
owners and drivers, who manifested the deepest interest in
the proceedings.
The chairmen, Mr. JOHN KCLLT, of the Baggot•street
stand, in the course of • vigorous speech, remarked that if
the meeting had been held in the Rotund", that room,
large as it was, would not bold all that would haveassembled
there to express their horror of this atrocious outrage.
(Cheers.) It was a crime which, looked at in any light,
was of the blackest dye. (Hear, bear.) As • breach of
trust it could not be exaggerated—it blacked the deeper
the more it was considered; and as citizens, lathe's,
husbands, and brothers, they were bound to be alive
iu the matter, and not to cease their exertions until
the miscreant was placed in the hands of justice. (Cheers)
The resolutions which would be proposed, though couched
in strong language, but very feebly expressed the indigna-
tion they felt for the conduct of this Sepoy, whoever be was,
whose conduct had not been equalled in atrocity within his
(Mr. Kelly's) remembeanoe. It reminded one forcibly of the
horrible outrages which had been committed on their
countrywomen during the Indian mutiny, and the rallying
cry of every man who loved and respected his mother, sister,
wife, or child should be, ' We have wives and sisters to
protect and revenge.' (Cheers.) The superhuman exertions
of the young lady, by which she succeeded in ultimately
escaping from the wretch's grasp, wae a proof, if such were
wanting, that • death before dishonour' is our country-
women • motto. (Cheers.) They were not there, however,
to make long speeches, but to work ; fur if 'perching could
do any good, their country would be the happic it land on the
face of the earth. (Hear, hear.)"

This pamphlet is to be distributed among the

DEATH OF MR. VANDEN HOFF% —WO regret to
announce the death of this celebrated actor, which took
place on Fridiy evening at his residence, 34, North Bank,
itegent'apark. Mr. Vandenhoff had been for some time
suffering from. gout, but not so as to confine bin, to the
house. On the morning of his death be walked to his
physician's and back, for the purpose of consulting him.
After dinner he was seized, as the event showed, with pro-
monitory sjmptonis of paralysis, but was still able to retire
to his bedroom end lie down without assistance. A
medical gentleman in the neighbourhood was at once sent
for, but on his arrival Mr. Vandenhoff was speechless, and
shortly afterwards expired. He carries to his grave the
unblemished reputation of • long and honourable life.
For some time he had given up the practice of hie pro-
fession ; but, though in his 72161 year, he was erect and
active, and bore every promise of adoring for many years
to coma the warm attachment of a select circle of friends,
who valued him for the tummicinticsted kindliness of his
nature, and his many Allan virtues.

THE POPE'S JUSTICE.

The Italian journals continue to discuss the
judicial murder of Locatelli. We read in the
Nazione of Florence :
It makes one sick at heart to think of the unfortunate
and innocent man whose head has just fallen on a Roman
scaffold ; but this is not the first me of the kind that stains
the annals of Pius IX. In 1855 the Pontifical government
resolved upon the death of three citizens, named Giuseppe
Cesellini, Ignacio Rosellani, and Enrico Venezia. A
wretch was made to swear, by promises of money
and a pardon, that they were accomplices in a murder which
he himself bol committed. It was in vain that witnesses
proved an chti for Cesellini, and that a chemist was pro-
duced, who bad supplied him with medicines when he was
ill in bed on the day of the murder ; these witnesses were
thrown into prison, where they remained till they died. It
was in vain that on the eve of the execution the real mur-
derer, stung by remorse, made • full confession, and ad-
mitted the innocence of the men he had accused ; they were
all executed.

Again, at Fabriano, in 1851, Pietro Ventroni, Bonvenuto
Cavalieri, and Bo tura Stefanini, were beheaded,
though quite innocent, on a charge of haying imported a
gun, with which it was not even pretended that they meant
to kill any one. The " Relations and Documents" of the
archives of the Roman States, lately published by order of
the government of Romagna. show that Romulo Salvatori,
the syndic of G iulanello, was judicially murdered under cir-
cumstances still more atrocious than three of the execution
of Locidelli. Men have been shot for stealing twenty-four
baked, for trivial slanders, and other ridiculously small
offences ; the sentences of death pronounced by the Sacred
Consults., and collected in the second of the above volumes,
will be a lasting and terrible monument of what clerical per
can dare to do.

The Northern Whig given the following proofs of
the evil effects of the American war upon the Irish linen
trade :—"The United States have only had 13,757,931 yards
of linen for the eight months of this year, against 343,227,38 T
yards for the like period of Irifio. Plivate letters from New
York report stocks of linen still further reduced; tbe pro-
tectionists of that city have at last discovered that high
duties neither advance the revenue nor stimulAte cum•
