duce a bill for prohibiting the exportation of salmon at
certain times.

dence between Mr. Richard David Jones, or Mr. Richard
David St. Paul, and the Secretary of State, tho Lord
Chancellor, and Clerk of the Crown, in relation to
change of name, and the alteration of his Rame in the
commission of tle peace for the county of Leicester, &c.,
was agreed to.

Sir G. GREY,however, observed that, as Mr. Jones had
been allowed to change his name, it would be as well to let
the matter drop.
The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad-
journed at 20 minutes to one o'clock.

;We are authorised to announce that the Volun-
teer Corps cf the city of London, to which

commanding officer. The Volunteer Corps that aro to
assemble in Ilyie-park must be on the ground at two p.m.
No company of this force is to be less than 24 files or more
than 32 files.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S LATEST.—A Washington
correspondent of a New England journal says that
though the President looks haggard and careworn some
new boa mot fron him is always in circulation. The last
was uttered at a Saturday public reception, when a Western
paymaster, in fill major's attire, was introduced, and said,
" Being here, Mr. Lincoln, I thought I'd call and pay my
respects." " Fron the complaints of tho'solders," responded
the President, "I guess that's about all any of you do pay."
A SLIGHT AISTAKE.—WhiIe General M'Clellan
was at dinner at the Massasoit-house, on his passage
through SpE iugfeld, two ladies plundered a military cap,
which they suplosed to he the General's, of both its but-
tons, tearing then out ruthlessly, to be preserved as me-
mentoes. The mortification of their feelings and the red-
ness of their faca can be imagined when one of the Aides
put on the mutil,ted cap, and the General put on his own,
which was intact Those buttons have not been preserved,
but the story Ins been, and is told oftener than the two
ladies wish to hear it.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—The whole English nation may be said
to have gone into committee upon the reception of
the Princess Alexandra. How to give the utmost
eclat to the pageant of the 7th, and how to signalise
the general holiday on the 10th, are now the ques-
tions of the day. Let none, whatever be their age
and whichever their sex, affect to be ashamed of feel-
ing a keen interest in them. The enjoyment derived
from sights of this kind is made up of a great many
elements, some of which defy analysis. Theimme-
diate gratification of curiosity may be slight and
momentary, but it is enhanced indefinitely by the
pleasure of looking forward to it and the pleasure
of being in kindly sympathy with all our fellow-
countrymen, the pleasure reflected from the very
thought of what it must be to be the objects of all
this loyal enthusiasm, and a variety of other plea-
sures equally unselfish in their motive, yet equally
agreeable in their result. In order, however, that
these sensations of pleasure, whether more or less
refined, should be experienced at all, it is indispen-
sably necessary that the spectacle itself should be a
success, and not a failure. The sense of disappoint
ment must be excluded at all hazards. The waste of
pleasure and the amount of pain which this sense,
oppressing the minds of mil.ions, would directly
produce, is too serious a thing to be treated lightly.
It is thus that every circumstance of the Prince and
Princess's passage through London becomes a matter
for public consideration. The vast sum of money
which will been spent by public bodies and private
individuals in mere decorations and the line of seats
is some measure of the importance attached to it. The
Corporation of London alone " will probably expend
£30,000 or £40,000, and the temporary balconies
which will be erected at every available point on the
route will represent many thousands of pounds. As
for the illuminations, many of which will be seen by
very few, their total cost cannot be estimated with
any degree of certainty, but we believe that the gas
companies have declared themselves unable to meet
the demand unless the consumption of gas in private
houses be reduced for the night. All this shows that
the inhabitants of London are determined, on their
part, to spare nothing in doing honour to the Royal
pair. It is the more incumbent on those who have
the arrangement of the procession and the subse-
quent festivities to consult their wishes and inte-
rests as far as possible. We are sorry to observe that
a very inadequate appreciation of this responsibility
seems to prevail at the Home-office. We had always
fancied that it was the privilege of the Lord Mayor
to receive royal visitors at the gates of the city, and
to lead the van of the cortege until they reached the
verge of his jurisdiction. This etiquette was recog.
nised in the Queen's first entry into the city, and is
recommended by good taste as well as by precedent.
The proposed reversal of this order on Saturday
week is by no means a trifling matter. Nothing can
be trifling which in the slightest degree mars the
harmony of the proceedings on an occasion of such
importance. This'is no ordinary visit of a foreign
Princess to the capital of Queen Victoria. It is the
formal introduction of a Princess of Wales to those
who will one day be the subjects of her husband,
and who are already her devoted wellwishers. The
whole population of the greatest city in the world
will have forsaken their ordinary avocations, and at
a great sacrifice of time and earnings will have
arrayed themselves by ranks and tiers, far as eye
can reach, along a line of several miles, on purpose
, to pay the highest compliment in their power to
their future Sovereign and his bride. This is a
homage of which thegreatest potentates might well
be proud, and which deserves every encouragement
which the Government can give it. There is a
famous warning of Burke's about " the mischief of
not having large and liberal ideas in the manage-
ment of great affairs." This sentiment is not less
applicable to the conduct of a national ceremony
than to the administration of a colonial empire, and
we trust that it will not be forgotten by the Home-
office. It is no secret that the purpose of placing the
carriage of the Prince and Princess in the vanguard
of the procession is to get it over as quickly as pos-
sible, and enable them to traverse the streets at a
trot. There could not be a greater mistake. If a rapid
transit to Windsor were the great object, it would
possible to avoid the metropolis altogether. It was
thought, however, and wisely thought, that, as the
wedding itself was not to be celebrated in London,
the Londoners should be gratified with the first
sight of the Princess whom we are beginning to
call our own. It. would be a sad pity to spoil the
grace of this concession for the sake of saving half
an hour. What is half an hour compared with the
opportunity of winning the hearts of thousands on
thousands " Let my people see me," was the
kind and truly Royal saying of our own Queen,
then scarcely older than the Princess Alexandra, as
she passed through the crowded and echoing streets
in the year of her accession. When she entered
Paris, as the guest of the Emperor, in 1855, the
dißappointment of the French was extreme because,
owing to a miscalculation of the tide, the carriages
containing the august party did not make their ap-
pearance till dusk, and then drove past too rapidly
for her features to be identified. We heartily trust
that no such contretemps will occur on this great
occasion, and, above all, that no official crotchets
will be suffered to spoil its popularity. Where
illustrious personages are to be greeted with a
public welcome the procession should be arranged
on very simple principles—the escort first, the
heroes and heroines of the day in the centre, and
the retinue last. It should pass at a foot's pace,
without hurry and without interruption, and we
may add that at this rate two hours would amply
suffice for the whole passage from the Bricklayers'
Arms to Paddington.
POST.—Regarded as a manifesto addressed by
the Government of the United States to the Euro-
pean Powers, the American Foreign Secretary's
despatch must be regarded as a most remarkable
document. It professes fairly and dispassionately
to state to the world the true position of affairs on
the American continent. Hitherto Europe has been
obliged to trust to information derived from un-
official sources, and, as might have been expected,
has been seriously misled. Finding by the mails
which almost daily reach us that during the past
two years a bloody war has been waged between
the North and South, we ventured to conclude that
the conflict was of a protracted nature. This has
been a grievous error. Judging by newspaper ac-
counts, we fancied on striking a balance of the in-1
variable vicissitudes of war that the North suffered
more severely than its opponents. Seeing that the
largest and best appointed army that the North
has been enabled to bring into the field has been
unable to force its way one hundred miles from the
Federal capital, we not unreasonably accept that,
fact as a proof of Northern weakness and Southern
prowess. Judging from the premium at which gold
is quoted in the American money markets, and the
difficulties experienced by the Federal Government
in their attempts to contract loans, we were led to
conjecture that the Federal credit was at a very low
ebb. But it now appears that in all these respects
we have been egregiously mistaken, and that,
arguing from false premises we have been neces-
sarily led to erroneous conclusions. The true state
of affairs in America is now made known on au-
thority which cannot be questioned, and Europe is
told to view with admiration the results of one of
the most successful wars of modern times, and to
congratulate one of the strongest, the most pa-
triotic, and best organised of Governments on the
success with which it has trampled down sedition
in its dominions. When the French Minister, by
way of saying particularly civil things, assured the
Federal Government that he was aware "they did
not despair of giving more active impulse to hos-
tilities," and that "the protraction of the struggle •
had not shaken the confidence of the Federal Go-
vernment in the definitive success of their efforts,"
he little thought that he gave cause for offence.
Mr. Seward, however, hastens to point out "the
unintentional injustice " of such language. " So
far from admitting any laxity of effort or betray-
ing any despondency the Government has, on
the contrary, borne itself cheerfully in all vicissi-
tudes with unvarying confidence in an early
and complete triumph of the national cause." Lest
such a statement might fall on incredulous ears,Mr.
Seward tells the Ambassador at Paris how " the
land and naval forces of the United States have
steadily advanced, reclaiming from the insurgents
the ports, forts, and posts which they had treacher-
ously seized before the strife actually began. Then
follows an enumeration of the States, or portions of
States, which constitute " the small territory still
left to the rebels, but which is held by the Federal
il
troops " in close blockade and siege." The Federal
Government, in a word, does not hesitate to submit
its achievements to the test of comparison, and is
i
ready to maintain that, "n no part of the world,
and in no times, ancient or modern, has a nation
put forth energies so vigorous, and achieved suc-
cesses so signal and effective, as those which have
marked the progress of the contest on the part of
the Union." Having thus succinctly stated for the
information of the French Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, the authentic history of the American war,
Mr. Se ward expresses a natural apprehension lest
the French Minister had taken other light than the
correspondence of the American Government for his
guidance in ascertaining its temper and finances.
We think it extremely probable that lie did. Under
a "peaceful democracy," such as exists in America,
where the utmost freedom of debate and the most
extreme license to the press are permitted, much
diversity of opinion must be expected to prevail.
But if a stranger would desire to acquaint himself
with the real sentiments of the people, he would
hear them expressed in the council chambers of
those whom the people heel chosen to represent
them, and to administer their laws. If M. Drouyn
de Lhuye, instead of trusting to newspapers,would
only take the trouble of consulting the statute-book

of Congress and the executive ordinances, he would
discover the unanimity amd fixedness of purpose of
the American nation. He would then satisfy him-
self of the confidence entertained by Congress iii
the ultimate success of their present undertaking by
the liberality of their mousy grants, and of the
ability and skill of the administration by the judg-
ment and promptitude which characterise all their
measures. After such a course of study, he would
doubtless come to the same conclusions with Mr.
Seward, that the Northern " resources are yet
" abundant, and the credit adequate to the
existing emergency. It is scarcely p, ssible to treat
this strange document seriously. It is certainly im-
possible to test it either by arguments or facts. If
a man avers positively that black is white, or that
two and two make five, of course, if you are not as
great a fool as himself; you will not attempt to
reason him out of his strange delusion. In like
manner, we shall not attempt to prove that Mr.
Seward's letter is a tissue of delusions or falsehoods
from beginning to end. If he says that this Go-
vernment possesses credit, thought it is unable to
raise a loan even among its own citizens—if he says
that the armies of the North have been victorious,
although at the very instant he was writing the
despatch he well knew that the greatest of its
armies was in process of dismemberment, after hav-
ing undergone a continuo's series of defeats—if he
calls the aggregate area of the Southern States a
small territory in defiance of what geographies and
atlases say to the contrary, why we can only treat
him as we would a perverse man, who, for the mere
sake of obstinacy, wilfully misstated facts. But as
Mr. Seward is not a lunatic, and as we believe him
to bs much too shrewd to suppose that any one will
be inclined to believe his statements, we are natu-
rally led to inquire what motive could have induced
him to write so much (what his countrymen would
call) " bunkum." Perhaps he expects to gain in
Washington amongst certain classes a little poli.•
tical capital, and, in exchange for that, is indiffe-
rent about the contempt he must incur in Europe.
Still emanating, as this document does, from the
Federal Cabinet, it is truly incredible that that
body should have sunk as low as to endorse as
its own, in the face of the world, so much arrant
falsehood and absurd nonsense.

K Billault.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS—FEB. 26.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
This extraordinary case, which was some time
since before the Court of Queen's Bench, came be-
fore Mr. Justice Wightman, at Chambers to-day,
the plaintiff appearing personally in support of an
application made on affidavit.
It appears that after the case had come before the
law courts an order was granted by Mr. Justice
Wightman, dated Dec. 23, 1862, appointing a com-
mission to be held in Paris to inquire into the plain-
tiff's claim, and giving power to the plaintiff to
examine Count Fialin de Persigny and the other
witnesses in chief on interrogatories and viva voce.
The order provided that on or before the 3d of Jan.
the attorneys or agents of the parties should ex-
change copies of the interrogatories they respec-
tively proposed to administer. No examination was
to take place prior to the 12th January. The re-
turn was to be made on the 30th January; but on
the 2d February the defendants obtained an order
from Mr. Justice Crompton extending the commis-
sion to the 30th April. This order the plaintiff now
sought to set aside, in order that he might proceed
to trial of the case in England.
From a statement made by Sergeant Glover, it
transpired that the plaintiff was formerly proprietor
of the Morning Chronicle, and the defendants were
Ministers in the French Government. The action
was commenced on the 2d May last. Every step
was taken under the Common Law Procedure Act.
Atter substituted service was made on the defen-
dants at Paris, Count de Persigny appeared in Lon-
don, whereon a declaration was served upon him.
Pleas were made and issue was joined in June, but
it was not until the last day of Michaelmas term
that the Court of Queen's Bench ordered M. Billault
to plead to the declaration. A fortnight's time was
granted, which was afterwards extended,and finally
the same pleas (nil indebitatus and non assumpsit)
were pleaded. Special application was made by the
defendants, Count de Persigny and M. Billault, for
their own examination and that of other witnesses
at Paris, and after some delay the judicial order al-
' ready alluded to for such commission was signed by
Mr. Justice Wightman. Pursuant to such order in-
terrogatories were duly exchanged between the re-
spective parties—those of the defendants' being for
themselves,whilst the plaintiff's interrogatories were
for the Due de Bassano and M. Mocquard, secretary
to the Emperor Napoleon 111. The plaintiff then
proceeded to allege that he had been proprietor of
the Morning Chronicle for two years without any
communication direct or indirect being made from
him to any person either incidentally or officially
connected with the French Government, but in No-
vember, 1856, Baron Lionel de Rothschild, M.P.,
and Mr. Uzielli, late a principal partner in the
banking firm of Charles novena end Co., stated
to him that they were in personal communica-
tion with the French Ambassador (Count de Per-
signy), who was anxious to secure the lllornzng
Chronicle on behalf of the French Government.
He (the plaintiff) was then put in commmunication
with M. Brouard, the French avocet. After a brief
negotiation the plaintiff's presence was required in
Paris. He w ent there and received from M.
Brouard a French written communication, who
stated that he had just received such from the chef
of the French Embassy in London, that it had been
written at the dictation or inspiration of Count de
Persigny, who wished it translated, and then in-
serted in the Morning Chronicle. M. Brouard said
he had shown it to M. Billault, who approved of
certain suggested alterations. It was accordingly
translated, and appeared as a leading article in the
Morning Chronicle in December, 1856, being an
attack on the gimmes newspaper, and in vindication
of the French Minister, M. Billault.
The learned Sergeant said he now proposed to put
in an affidavit in support of his claim that the order
for the commission might be set aside with a view
to the trial of the case in England.
The Solicitor for the defendants said that this
was the first he had heard of an affidavit in the
case, and he should certainly ask for an adjourn-
ment, that he might be able to answer it.
Sergeant Glover said he had been six weeks in
Paris on this business, and he hoped the learned
judge would dispose of the application without
farther delay. He had come from Paris for the
purpose of making the affidavit. He thought he
had a right to hand in the affidavit.
Mr. Justice Wightman said he certainly had,
and he himself would read it.
The learned Judge then received, and read aloud,
the following extraordinary document
" I, William Glover, of 58, Burton-crescent, in
the county of Middlesex, sergeant-at-law, the plain-
tiff in this cause, make oath, and say—lst, That this
action was commenced on or about the second day
of May last, and that issue has been joined thereon;
and I further say that by an order made by the Hein
Mr. Justice Wightman in this cause on the 23d of
Dec., 1862, on the application of the said defen-
dants, it was ordered that a commission should issue
out of this honourable Court for the purposes as ex-
pressed in that order. 2d. And I further say that
on or about the Bth day of January, 1863, a draft,
purporting to be a commission out of this honour-
able court for the purposes expressed in the above-
mentioned order, returnable on the 30th Jan., 1863,
was, as I am informed and believed, served on my
• then attorney, Mr. Rose, but whether such a com-
mission was ever duly issued, I am unable to say,
and by the said order it was provided that the 12th
of January was the earliest day on which the ex-
amination of the witnesses could commence. A copy
of such commission was sent to me by my said attor-
ney on or about the 12th of January last. 3d. I say
that the defendants' attorneys have delivered copies
of the interrogatories on the defendants' part, and
interrogatories have also been delivered on my be-
half. 4th. That Thomas Pickford, Esq., her Ma-
jesty's Consul at Paris, and Mons. Delainay, of No.
35, Rue St. Honore, in the said city, are the com-
missioners named in the said commission, and I say
that both the said commissioners were, at the date
of the said order, and ever since have been, and now
are resident in Paris, as I am informed and believe.
sth. That on the 13th day of January last I arrived
in Paris, under the expectation and with the intent
of being present at the opening of the said commis-
sion, and for that purpose I took with me a great
quantity of documental evidence in order to meet
the case of the defendants before the said commie-
sioners, and to be exhibited here in evidence in
support of my own case ; and I say that I remained
in Paris for 37 days in the daily expectation of be-
ing called upon by the said commissioners to attend
before them with my evidence ; but I say that ou
my applying to the said commissioners on different
days during my late sojourn in Paris, I was in-
formed by them that my commission had not arrived,
nor had been delivered to either of them at those
periods, and that they were ready and willing to
act and commence proceedings under the said com-
mission directly they received the official docu-
ments authorising them to do so. And I fur-
ther say that I am informed and believe that the
commission is yet in the hands of the defendants'
attorneys, and that the same is so retained by
them for the purpose of delay, and that no step what-
ever has been taken by them to forward the exe-
cution of the said commission for the same reason,
although I duly informed the defendants and
the said commissioners of my arrival in Paris, and
my readiness to commence proceedings under the
said commission. 6th. That on the 2nd day of Feb-
ruary inst., after the lime for the return of the coin- t

mission had expired, the defendants obtained era
order of the Hon. Mr. Justice Crompton, whereby
the return of the said commission was enlarged for
three calendar months from the 30th day of January'
until the 30th day of April next; and I say there
was'no reasonable ground for making such order,
or for extending the time for such return; and I
say that' Bauch order was made without a summons
or any notice ha:_ins
been served on me, and With:
out my having any knowC.4se that any such appli-
cation was being made; that ~41'e said order Who
made on the application of the defendants, although.
without any opposition being made on the part cr
my attorney, who informed me that he stated that
he had retired from the cause. I further say that
was not informed of such order having been made.
until the 7th of February, when I received a ;Ledo
in Paris from my late attorney, informing me that
the order had been made, and giving me notice that
he withdrew from the cause. And I say that had
I been informed of such application being about to
be made, I should peremptorily have instructed raY
attorney to oppose such application. And I say
that such application and order were made durw
log my residence in Paris as above mentioned:
and that had I had any notice of such proceed-
ings I should have proceeded from Paris to London
to oppose the same personally. 7th. I say that),
have ever since the date and opening of the said
commission been prepared to proceed to the exsinv
nation of the witnesses and the other proceedings
in the said commission. And I say that duringfq
stay in Paris I have incurred great expenses
is
endeavouring to get the said commission proceeded
with ; that every possible delay has been throw"
in my way by the defendants and by persons acting
as I am informed and believe on their authority.
That I have been compelled to take legal opinions
in Paris as to the best way of compelling the de-
fendants to proceed with the said commission, and
have incurred great expenses, which have turned.
out entirely useless on account of the conduct .01
the defendants. Bth. That whilst sojourning 11..
Paris, in order to attend the said commission, 1
was arrested on a flimsy pretext at my hotel, on
the 30th of January, by three policemen, one of
whom I was afterwards informed by a high per
sonage in authority in Paris was a member of the
Count de Persigny's secret police ; that after being
dragged from the hotel I was throttled by two of
the policemen, who stuck their knuckles into 1339
neck and caused very considerable pain ; that they
also dragged me in a brutal and disgraceful manner
through several public streets to two police stations
at each of which I supplicated that some person
should be sent to the English Embassy (very near
thereto), in order that I might receive assistance or
protection, but these police persons laughed at the
proposition, and treated it with ridicule. That
was then put into a cold and damp dungeon cell,
the door locked, and there solitarily confined as e`
prisoner for several hours. That my health wes
very much injured from the brutal treatment and
other disgraceful conduct which I then experience al
besides my clothes much torn by the police ; o'4
although unaware of having committed an offen.ce,
yet on being brought before a commissary of police
I was immediately discharged, having been lectured
and told, forsooth, that I must be very cautious
whilst in Paris about my conduct, and avoid doing
anything to cause my future arrest. Why suoll
intimidation or threat should be given to me as dif'
ferent from any other British subject, I verily
believe was on account of my being in Paris
.tc:
attend the said commission issued at the speclah'
application and request of the defendants, Cour
de Persigny, Minister of the :Interior, and of Di'
Billault, for the purpose of themselves and otker
persons being examined and cross-examined as wit-
nesses in this cause and action'; and, in short that tuf
life and liberty were not safe during the time I was
in Paris, owing to the hostility of the defendants
towards me, the improper use of their power las
members of the French Government, and their
desire to stifle all proceedings in this matter, and t°
prevent publicity thereof. 9th. And further, I sal
that I believe there has been nothing to prevent the
said commission being proceeded with except the
dislike of the defendants to the holding of the conk;
mission at the present time in Paris, on account 01
the disaffected state of the French people, and the
exposures that may come out on the holding of such
commission. That the defendant and all the wit'
nesses and
be examined reside in or near Paris, an
there is no reason whatever, save as aforesaid, wby
the commission should not have been returned by
the 30th of January. 10th. I further say that ce
the 13th of February, 1863, I forwarded to th.s
defendant Count de Persigny a notice written ku
French, the trenslated copy whereof is annexed, 0111 h
I forwarded a corresponding notice to the defendant
M. Billault. I forwarded the said notices by put"
ting the same into the letter-box of the district
post-office ; and although I believe the defendantts
received the said notices, they neither of them took
any notice thereof or communicated with me on the
subject. 11th. And I say that I have been adviser`
that this cause may be brought on for trial at the
ensuing spring assizes if the depositions to be takes
under the said commission be returned and filed
within the next fortnight, and that it is my wish
and inclination to bring on the trial accordingl.9'
And I say that it is essential for the ends of justice
in the case that I should be enabled to try the case
as soon as possible." (The notice referred to in the,
that
unless was an intimation to the defendants m'
unless the plaintiff heard from them before the 17t11
of February, fixing a day for the opening of Or
commission, he should move the Court of Queen
Bench for the suppression of the commission, and
for liberty to proceed to trial forthwith.)
Mr. Justice Wightman (to the defendants' ecli-
citor)—Do you wish to answer that affidavit ?

The solicitor—lf you please.
Mr. Sergeant Glover said he was in his lordshie
hands, and would bow to any decision he might
make.
Mr. Justice Wight man then ordered the affidavit
to be filed, and adjourned the further bearing of the
case until Monday.
