his practice in that court. In whatever
aspect the matter be regarded the conduct
of Sir F. TtiESIGER was wholly unjustifiable,
and would call for the well-merited censure of the
Bench, the Bar, and the public generally. We trust
that he will see his error, and make,t,he only amends
in his power, by withdrawing Le. offensive in-
sinuation. Mr. MARTIN, we also hope, will relin-
quish his intention. His talents and acquirements
are such as to insure him practice in any court into
which he may choose to enter. His adopting the
course he spoke of would seem to admit
that there were some grounds for the charge.
He should rest satisfi,ql in conscious inno-
cence, and with a knowledge of the high esti-
mation in which he is held. The public generally
should not be injured by being deprived of his able
advocacy in any case in which his services may be
available. It would, indeed, be ridiculous to assert
that the promotion of a near relative to the judicial
bench should lead to his withdrawal from practice
in a court in which he had previously acquired con-
siderable distinction, and to his relinquishing a lucrative
branch of his profession. There is but one alterna-
tive remaining for Sir F. T/lESIGER , if he should
refuse to make a full and complete retractation
of the charge. He should bring the conduct of the
Chief Baron before the only tribunal to which he is
amenable, and move an address to the Crown to de-
prive him of the situation he now fills. If the accu-
sation be well founded it would warrant such a pro-
ceeding. If not, no language would be sufficiently
strong to express the deep regret which every high-
minded gentleman must feel who had permitted
himself, in a moment of ill-humour and petulance, to
cast upon one of the Judges of the land so grave an
imputation without due foundation. In either case,
Sir F. TRESIGER owes something to himself and to
the honourable profession of which be is an influen-
tial and leading member.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Assembly ou Thursday negatived the motion of
M. LAGRANGE, for the immediate publication of a ge-
neral amnesty, by a majority 551 to 167. It is, how-
ever, considered probable that an amnesty will be pub-
lished on the 24th of February, the anniversary of the
proclamation of the Republic. The House then re-
sumed the debate on the project of law imposing a tax
on successions.

M. LERNINIER has addressed a letter to the Minister
of Public Instruction, resigning his functions as one of
the professors of the College of France. He assigns as
the motive of his resignation his wish to prevent the
Government and the College of France from being ex-
posed to the violence of an implacable party towards
himself.

It appears that during the military comedy enacted
in the streets of Paris on Monday, under the manage-
ment of General CIIANGARNIER, the sergeant-major of a
company of the Ist Legion of National Guards, informed
the soldiers under his command that at his house, which
was close at hand, they would find a petition demanding
the immediate dissolution of the National Assembly,
which they might sign at once. The soldiers re-
minded him that by law no act of such a nature could be
performed by armed men without being considered a
hostile manifestation against the Assembly, and several
threatened to quit the ranks if this officer continued his
illegal conduct.
According to the Moniteur the accounts from the de-
partments are perfectly satisfactory.
The riot at Strasburg was merely a procession of
operatives out of employ, who dispersed on beirg assured
by the Mayor that relief should be given to the most
needy. Their numbers never exceeded 250.
There had been some slight disturbances at Macon
and Chalons. At Marseilles and Lyons the military
posts were duubled on the 27th, but there was no attempt
made at disturbance on the part of the people.
The Committee appointed to examine the project of
law for the suppression of clubs presented by the Mi-
nister of the Interior to the National Assembly, has de-
termined, by a majority of 9 to 6, to recommend its
rejection as unconstitutional.
Paris continued perfectly tranquil up to the post hour
of yesterday.
The Bourse has been animated, and an improvement
took place in the value of all public securities. The
Five per Cents. opened at 75f. 60c., and rose gradually
to 76f. 10c., at which they closed.
