Gentlemen of the Chamber of Peers—lf I rise to
speak, be assured of it it is not to defend my head. I
,brought you my head in an honest manner ; I thought you
would take it itt the same manner. A conspirator succeeds
or dies! Whatever nilght be the result of my project.
death Wag to lie my fate. I wished not to fall alive into
the hands of mine etitfifies: Had I succeeded, I expected
a glorious and popular death: It is, therefore, not my life,
it is my honour that I rise to defeta, I rise also to defend
the honour of those who bear my name. The act of accu-
sation is but a tissue of calumnies, of cowardice., of vile
falsehoods. I belong to the people. What matters it
whether my life was pure ? A man of the people, a re-
publican, is easily calumniated. You saw yesterday how I
have been dealt with.—(Here Alibeaud timed towards
the 'ProcureurlCienerel, whose desk is close to the bar,
and, thus situated, he continued with his fiery looks fixed
upon him, his countenance denoting the utmost. bitter-
ness.) lii your investigations, Mi. Procureur-General,
you have laboured to brand my life. Born among the
people, I had lived by my industry in Ivy youth ;
had next embraced the profession of arms. In the re-
volution of three days I had done. my duty, without
deriving any wages from it. I—l was not one of those in•
triguers whom that Revolution had overwhelmed with ho-
nours ; wherefore nothing has been omitted to degrade me.
And yet never had I ceased to make courageous efforts to
procure honourable means of existence, and through my in-
dustry to support the old age of my parents. But in this
age of selfishness what can good will and courage avail ?
An honest man is repulsed. Could 1 expect happiness?
From all rides I have been assailed, and by all methods. I
had the means of defending not my give you that—
but my reputation, Ishich is dearer to me. I have been
prevented ; and whilst you, Gentlemen of the Government,
have at your disposal telegraphs, prefects, your agents in
the departments, and the 'most active of all agents—corrup-
tion—you have denied my counsel a delay of a few'days to
bring up the witnesses I wished to summon—witnesses who
have known me from my childhood, and who might have
borne testimony to what I was, .what I still am, now that
calumny attacks me in so dastardly a manner! Is this
justice ? No ; at least it is not justice as I understand it,
and as the people. understand it. I have been overwhelmed
with calumnies ; I have been compared with Fieschi.
What is there common between that man and me ?
Low inclinations have been imputed to inc. It remained
but to represent me as one of those intriguer. hatched by
the sun of July. In July I quitted the party of Charles
X., to side with the people ; that is all I demanded of the
revolution. I co-operated in the installation of the Repub-
lican Royalty. I avow that I then accepted it, although
I saw already whither we were to be led, and yet should
have distrusted it, for all Royalty lives at the expense of
the people. Never before the 6th of June, had I the idea
of killing the King ; but when I saw Paris in a state of
siege, the Charter placed without the law, the Saint-Mary
massacres, blood flowing in torrents in our second city ;
when I saw That instead of reigning, the King governed ;
when I heard Ministers perpetually say, the King is all,
the King does 'all,l determined on extirpating the evil
by its root. Since he governs, let him bear the conse-
quence of that happy governing! He must bear the pe-
nalty of evil, if the evil .be • done by him ! Another
thing has determined me on putting. him to death ; he
had had the cowardice of abandoning the brave Poles.—
(Movement en the benches of the Peers.) I wish I
could see here their assassin—you would not inveigh
against him with so much warmth, M. Procureur-Gene-
ral ; for if you have severe words for the assassin of
Kings, you willingly pardon the assassin of nations.—(Se-
veral Peers, who for some minutes had manifested their
impatience by murmurs, half rose and beckoned to the Presi-
dent to silence _the prisoner.) I have quitted the military
service since the citizen reign (Alibeaud continued) because
I would no longer servo Philippe, I that would not be
every day exposed to firing upon citizens who support the
system fin. which I am dying.. The epithet of assassin is
lavished on me ; I agree to it. But lam called a coward.
judge otherwise of things, gentlemen ; I am one of the
people, and I believe the right against all tyranny is a per-
sonal one. Have Kings alone all right, all security?
When Constitutions arc violated citizens have a right to
take justice into their hands ; force must be repelled by
force. I have used that right which Brutus used against
Cwsar.—(Violent murmuring.) The King governing is
responsible for everything ; be is as guilty as Polignac was
when you tried him. Poor people ! you suffer yourselves
to be saddled and lower your ears; you will soon submit to
be cudgelled, for that will come. You call me an assassin
and regicide. I tell ye that regicide is the right of man
who can obtain justice only by the death of a tyrant.—
(The murmurs of the Peers, which had covered the sono-
rous voice of Alibeaud, now burst out with violence ; several
of them rose, others struck their desks.)
The President said—Prisoner, I cannot suffer you to
proceed thus. Sit down.
• Alibeaud—You call for my bead, I must defend it. (The
prisoner turned pale ; a sort of nervous trembling agitated
him : he stood up facing the President.)
The President—Sit down, Alibeaud.
Two guards took the prisoner by his arms, and compelled
him to sit down.
Alibeaud sat down without apparent emotion, whilst
the Court and galleries presented the aspect of the ut-
most agitation. He folded up his manuscript, and said to
his Counsel, " I confide this paper to you. 7
The President ordered it to be deposited in the record.
M. Bonjour, Assistant Counsel, rose to speak in ex-
tenuation of that which Alibeaud had uttered.

Alibeaud vehemently rose and said Bonjour—
" Excuse me, Sir, your object is to demand mercy or com-
passion for me : no! no! I wish to inspire my fellow-
beings with only hatred or esteem !"

After the Procurcur-General's reply" to Counsal, the
President asked whether Alibeaud had anything to say
that was not an apology for regicide ? Alibeaud asked for
his manuscript, promising to pass over that article. The
paper was returned to him.

Alibeaud, looking pale, but with a firm and sonorous
voice, proceeded—" Do not believe, Gentlemen, that I
exult in being placed among regicides ; such a title is not
an enviable one : I have obeyed a cruel necessity ! To
kill a fellow-being is against nature ; to commit such an
act one must he irresistibly urged to it. It was necessary
that a deep misfortune should overwhelm me, and, above
all, that I should be impressed with the horrible calamities
of my countty—it is the deeds of the Government of Louis
Philippe the First which hare made a regicide of a man
:;ho might -have been virtuous—the system which the King
obstinately pursues..—(The murmurs of the Peers almost
wholly. drowned the prisoner's voice.)
The President, amidst the noise—l cannot let you con-
tinue— pass, pass that over.
Aliheaud, turning over some leaves-1 bare employed all
sorts of honest methods of living honourably-4 have done
all in my power to assist my parents ; but the corruption
of the age is so great, that an honest man is ever the dupe
of rogues. 1 have ascended to the source of my calamities,
and I have found it mainly in the King who governs
France. _ _

The -President and the Court called upon the prisoner to
cease speaking.
(xplosion of
Alibeaud—Corruption in those who will govern the rest
-
is the greatest. scourge of humanity.—E
murmurs.)
Alibeaud, pale
and agitated, raised his voice, and reite-
rated—corruption in him who governs men is the worst of
scourges---it flows from the Throne to spread upon the
people.
The Procurcur-General formally required that the pri-
soner be silenced.
Alibeaud—lf what I utter offends certain cars, I must
give way to force and be silent.
He sat down, loaking at the President, who seemed to
1-hour under deep emotion.
The President declared the proceedings at an end. Two
municipal guards seized Alibeaud by his arms, whilst a
third held him by his waist, and thus he was conveyed to
his cell.

• THE EXECUTION.
(From the Aftehoon Edition of Galiynani's Messenger of
. . Monday.) • ,•
I
riNne execution of Alibeaud tool: place this morning.
The scaffold was erected between midnight and 5 o'clock.
The troops on duty, consisting,-of four or five battalions of
infantry, as many squadrons of cavalry, and several com-
panies of the Municipal Guards, foot and horse, may be
coinput6d at thirty thousand men, besides a multitude
of sergens de vile, by whom all the avenues to the
Place St. Jaquei were guarded ; and the few per-
sons who had obtained access to the Place were
compelled to fall back. At two minutes before 5 the pri-
soner arrived at the foot of the scaffold, the steps of which
he ascended with a firm step. He was barefooted, and
had a black veil over h's head. His sentence having been
looked -stcd-
read, the veil was removed, and the culprit

The Courrier Francais observes, that everybody is trying
to get out of the scrape of having sent the police to the
journals. A mere expression of hope from the President
of the Court of Peers that the journals would not give an
imprudent publicity to the odious parts of Aliheaud's
speech would have been quite sufficient, ,for it would Lave
produced the desired effect. The Ministers, however, are
guilty of the most signal maladressc, in thinking to obtain
silence from the journals by means of the police. Their
azents committed worse than a fault—they made a gross

Anse of their power ; and the least reproach that can be

given to the Ministers is, that they have shown great want
of ability. Fear, that evil counsellor, drove them into the
course they took. They thought the apology for murder-
might have have a danserous echo in the country ; but the
spontaneous condemnation caved by such a doctrine,

wherever the liberty of writing exists, is the best guarantee
of the little danger that it produces: Alibeaud's decla-
ration that he should have killed himseh- whether he had

killed the King or no, there is somethi►►g that shows the
isolated nature of such a criminal in colour:: sufficiently
gloomy to discourage any wretches, iF any thetv are, un-
fortunately-, who.might be tempted to imitate him.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.

KNOWLES V. DAVIDSON.

Mr. K. PARKER applied ex pane for an injunction to r,
strain the sale of a publication entitled " A New Explana—
tory Pronouncing Dictionary," by the defendant. The
plaintiff having compiled the book before mentioned, entered
into an agreement,.in 1834, with the defendant, a printer
in Blackfriars, to execute in stereotype and to print 1,000
copies of a quarto edition, for public sale. The defendant
completed the printing in August 1835, struck off 1,000
copies, and in the November following represented to the
pla7ntiff that the whole had been sold. The plaintiff there
directe,4 that 500 copies of a new edition in octavo should.
be printezl, and 25 copies of the original quarto. The
plaintiff, had since discovered that the defendant had struck
off a much urger number, and that he. kept a shop at
Ramsgate, undee the firm of Knott and Co., where be had
offered them for safe, together with a great number of simi-
lar publications, at a reduction of 25 per cent, below the
price of publication. The injunction was prayed to restrain
this fraudulent sale, and for a delivery up of the stereotype
plates.—lnjunction granted.

ARCHES COURT.--TUESDAY.

RAY V. SHEItWOOD AND ItAY. OTHEIIWISL' SIIEEWOOD.

Sir H. jENNEB, to-day gave judgment in'this case, which
has been so frequently before the public, and which is air
appeal from the Consistorial Court of London in a suit of
nullity of marriage by reason of affinity. The Learned
' Judge having stated the particular facts of the case, said
that the case came on upon the admission of a libel which
was opposed upon two pounds. First, it was contended
that the Court could not proceed with the case, because it
wsts provided by the new Marriage Act that no marriage
Letween persons within the prohibited degrees, should
hereafter be annulled by any sentence of the'Ecclesiastical
Court, unless pronounced in a suit depending at the time
of the passing of thcf Act ; because the words " suit ,de-
perding" were technical terms, which must be technically
eons-tried ; and because there was no suit dependinr, be-
tween the present parties at the time of the passing of the
said Act, inasmuch as upon all authority and practice there
was no /is pendent until after the litis contestatio. Now,
with regard to that objection, be was satisfied that there
might be a suit deper:ding in those Ecclesiastical Courts
before contestation of suit ; and that the pendendy of suit
was constituted by the extraction and service of a citation.
Upon that point then he coninned the decision of the
Court below, that the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical
Court was not taken away. With fespect to the second
objection, that the father, Mr. Ray, had no sufficient inte-
rest to entitle him to promote a suit of this kind, he did
not feel the same confidence in the conclusion to which he
must come as he had felt upon the other point. The sen-
tence of the Court was to pronounce for the oppeal, re-
verse the sentence appealed from, to retain the original
cause, and admit the libel as reformed.

INSOLVENT dOURT-TUESDAY.

Robert Aldaker Breit, whose case was reported in
The Sun some time ago, came up for adjntreation.
The insolvent had been wardrobe keeper at the Victoria
and St. James's Theatres. He ascribed his insolvency in
a great measure to the losses sustained at the Victoria.
He had " dressed" the ~ Jewess," performed at that esta-
bfisliment, in a splendid manner, for which he was to have
received five pounds a week. A distress for rent was. levied
at. the theatre, and his costly dresses were sold ; be esti-
mated his loss it two hundred potinds ; and hence vvse
his insolvency. The insolvent was ultimately discharged.
