LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, J'ANITARY 12, 1849.

Chairman, however, thought proper to attack the
jury in a most unprecedented manner, and to use
language which certainly was not suited to a court
of justice. He said—" Why, this woman has been
convicted before, and imprisoned at Lancaster for two
years. A set of stupid fellows like you cannot see
the evidence. You (speaking to the prisoner) have
had a wise jury; when you are tried again you may
hope to have such another—you set of stupid --,
how can you think of giving such a verdict when
you are upon your oaths ? Is there one
amongst you that is not as sure that she
stole that half - crown, as that you are sit-
ting in that box ?" Well might there have been
great sensation in court, and expressions of dis-
approbation on the part of the bar when language of
such an extraordinary character, better suited for the
purlieus of Billingsgate than the judicial bench, fell
from the lips of a chairman. But this was not all
when a juryman attempted to explain the grounds on
which he had returned his verdict, he was un-
courteously stopped by the Chairman, who said—
" Well, don't argue ; you are not fit ; you cannot
pretend to have any doubt about the matter. It was
your duty to have given a verdict according to your
oath." Such was the conduct of a person represent-
ing her Most Gracious MAJESTY, and dispensing jus-
tice to her subjects.

In Somersetshire the exhibition was equally
pitiable, although there the error apparently aros
from ignorance of law, and not from any want of
temper or gentlemanly demeanour. A prisoner to an
indictment for a larceny pleaded autre foie acquit,
alleging that he had been tried and acquitted of the
same offence at the Quarter Sessions at Dorsetshire.
This plea was demurred to ; the counsel for
the prosecution admitting that he could not
deny the truth of the statement, and had
therefore no course but to demur. The de-
murrer, however, was overruled, and the validity
of the; plea established. On the counsel for the pri-
soner then applying for his discharge, the Gallant
Chairman answered, " Oh, no. How can we decide
on the merits of the case without hearing the evi•
dente ?" The Bench then decided against the plea
which they had formerly considered good, but de-
clined to assign any reasons, the Chairman sagaciously
remarking that " a decision may be right, whilst the
reason is wrong." The prisoner was then put on
trial, convicted, and sentenced to a week's imprison-
ment, from the beginning of the sessions, although it
was admitted that he had been previously tried and
acquitted of the same offence. Although he was
forthwith discharged—the week being actually ex-
pired—his counsel intimated his intention...to bring a
writ of error to reverse the judgment.
When two such cases can be cited within a single
week no further argument is necessary to impress
upon the public the importance of an immediate
change in the system, and the procuring of compe-
tent persons to fill the situations of chairmen to the
benches of magistrates. No reasonable amount of
salary would be denied for this purpose. The ser-
vices of the judges of the county courts could ea-fly
be made available, and they would then hold the
same positions us those filled by the assistant•bar-
risters of Ireland.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The National has the following admirable article
on the present situation of France :-
-
" It would be useless any longer to dissemble the truth.
Our enemies themselves have torn away the veil with
which may a few months since they considered it prudent
to surround their secret thoughts. At the hour when the
revolution of February, bursting forth like a clap of
thunder, effaced in a few minutes the shame of eighteen
years, the monarchy fell without one of those who owed
their fortunes to it endeavouring even to defend it. When
the aged King left, alone and abandoned, where was M.
Thiers? He did not again appear until all danger was
already far from us. The revolution had given proofs of
moderation and of pity. The Government, in the midst
of immense difficulties, had no other strength than that
which it derived from the general assent of the people.
It was attacked in its acts and in its tendencies. When
the Executive Commission replaced the Provisional
Government, the struggle which up to that time had
been concluded, became more audacious. As it be-
slime more removed from the 24th of February, the plan
already formed more clearly developed itself. Ob-
stacles appeared to grow up every moment before the
le et of the then Government, and at length it met with
C:n same fate as its predecessor. The fatal days of June
brought General Cavaignac into power; but re-action
pursued its system. It may be summed up in a few
words:—To give occasion for faults which were impos-
sible to be avoided under exceptional circumstances, and
to afterwards exaggerate those faults with increased
malevolence; in a word, to bring persons into disrepute
iii order to compromise the principles they served. Such
is the secret of the odious tactics employed, and to which
all the men who have taken part in the Government for
Vse last ten months have successively become victims.
&access has crowned this plan. To what will it lead?
To again place the destinies of France in the hands
of a coalition whose faults have produced the fall of
two monarchies. The Legitimists and the Orleanists,
united by a secret compact of which the future will
r eveal to us the conditions, have marched with
a common accord towards the conquest of power. 'They
possess it now, but they will not feel satisfied until they
have removed every obstacle which stands in the way.
The National Assembly is in its majority republican;
tlotey have united all their efforts to overthrow it. Next
to it comes the President. They now flatter him as at
tae commencement they did the Provisional Govern-
sent, and afterwards the Executive Committee, and as
t hey flattered the Government of the 26th June at its
first accession to power. Let the President resist them;
nay he, better enlightened as to men and things,
struggle against their insatiable demands. His isolation
is the condition of triumph. It is useless to seek else-
where for the cause of the rage which took possession of
Thiers and his allies on the first appearance of the
Ilepublicans being able to give their disinterested advice
to Id. Louis Bonaparte. What would become of the
ltoyalist intrigue if the President were to open his eyes,
end, assuming seriously the part assigned to him by the
Constitution establish himself firmly on the ground of
the Republic? No; he must not be permitted to see and
listen to those who dig an abyss before him. It is of
little consequence to these great citizens that he fall into
it, and again plunge the country into all the horrors of
civil war. They will not consider their work as defi-
nitively accomplished until they see Henry V., bearing
the Count de Paris in his arms, come and seat himself
on the restored throne.

" Let, then, M. Thiers become Minister; it is to him
that 6,000,000 of votes have been given; it is he alone
who has the right to govern France until our masters
return from London. We have passed through three
stages. M. Bonaparte is the last. After him comes the
monarchy.
" Of all these dreams, which would make us smile if
they did not reveal such detestable sentiments, one alone
appears of possible realisation. M. Thiers will have a
portfolio. Let him hasten. to take it in spite of our
poniards,' which the Constztutionnel has no great merit
in braving. That nielo-dramatic weapon is not ours.
There is one more dangerous, and which will be better
suited to men of M. Thiers's scantling—it is contempt.
The Republicans will not employ any other to get rid of
him."

The National is right—it is in England that these
reactionary intrigues are concocted, and the English
Tory aristocracy, the representatives of the would-be
Absolutist Monarchs, and the political exiles of
February and March, are all parties to them. That
these intrigues will succeed we cannot for a moment
imagine ; they may, however, in France give rise to
fearful commotions, in which event, we fear, that no
cellar will be deep enough to hide the reactionaries
from the search of the deceived and irritated people,
nor any eloquence powerful enough (no! not even
that of LaniAtivriNz himself) to shield them from
their vengeance. In February the people were Coll•
querors, and they were merciful ; since then the fate
of Bnum, of MBSSENHAUSBN, and of the Vienna
students,
has proved to them what mercy the
reactionaries show when they for a time gain
the superiority.
Should the people be again forced
to have recourse to arms to reconquer the Re-
public, " they will profit by the lesson that has been
taught them, and it will go haid but they will better
the example." Let the reactionaries in Paris beware ;
they have not, like LOUIS PHILIPPE, and M.
GUIZOT, and Prince METTERNICH, and the Princess
LIEYEN, the Straits of Dover between them and the
people against whose liberties they are plotting.

The Corsaire says that five of the Ministers of
Louis PHILIPPE have returned to Paris and have
left their cards at the Elysee National.
The Corsaire also states that the letter from the
PRESIDENT Of the Republic to M. LEON DE MALTA-
VILLX, which appeared in the lierminie of Nantes, was
sent to that journal by one of the aides-de-camp of
M. Louis BONAPARTE.

The Committee of Finance of the National As-
sembly has recommended that a credit of 2,720,000 f.
should be voted to wind up the affairs of the Ateliers
Nationaux, and that the accounts shall then be pub-
lished.

On Tuesday the Committee of Justice examined
the proposition of M. JOITIN, relative to the abroga-
tion of the law of banishment now in force against
the families of Bourbon and Orleans. The Minister
of the Interior, invited to express his opinion before
the Committee, merely said that the proposition did
not appear to him at present opportune, and expressed
a wish that a more favourable opportunity would
allow that exceptional measure to be before long
,revoked. The Committee then decided that it should

recommend the rejection of the measure, and named
M. LAISSAC reporter.
It is considered probable that the proposition of
M. Brno, fixing the 15th of April as the day of the
dissolution of the Assembly, will be adopted. The
reactionaries are actually using violence, in many
instances, to force people to sign petitions praying
for a dissolution of the Assembly ; but notwithstand-
ing their force and their fraud, their violence and
their forgeries, the number of signatures attached
to such petitions is ridiculously small. It is said the
reactionaries contemplate having recourse to an emeute
to dissolve the Assembly. Should the Assembly,
however, be dissolved by such means, it will be
succeeded not by Monarchical restoration, but by the
Red Republic.
There was some agitation at Batignolles on Wed-
nesday, produced by the resistance of the wine
shopkeepers to the officers appointed to examine their
stocks, to prevent adulteration. The presence of a
military force, however, soon restored tranquillity.
The Bureaux of the Assembly met on Tuesday
to nominate a committee to prepare the Bill on the
state of siege. The principal point under discussion
was to decide where the initiative of the measure was
to originate—whether with the legislative and execu-
tive powers conjointly, or with the former only. M.
DE KERDREL thought that the Assembly ought to
confine itself to voting a Bill d'urgence on the mat-
ter, without seeking to make what is called an organic
law. General DE LAMORICIERE, on the contrary, de-
manded that the greatest possible extension should be
given to the Bill, both in the point of view
of civil and of foreign war. M. CHARRAS was of
opinion that the new Bill should reproduce in
a great measure the ideas and the principles of the
Bill of 1791. Several Members expressed a wish
that a clause should be inserted declaring that under
a state of siege it should never be permitted to sup-
press or to suspend the liberty of the press. M.
POUJOULAT, whilst declaring that he had the utmost
respect for the liberty of the press, said that he con-
sidered leaving full liberty to journals to publish what
they pleased during the state of siege was exceedingly
dangerous. M. ALEM ROUSSEAU proposed to have
a distinction made between the state of siege in Paris
and in other towns. M. BAZE thought that the
place where the Legislative Assembly was sitting
should never be placed in a state of siege. In
general, the members appointed to constitute the
committee were recommended to be most careful in
defining its real character and duration. It was also
generally thought that during its continuance the
civil courts ought not to be suspended, and that the
military tribunals ought not to :be called on to be
judge in any cases but such as related to the situation.
General PELET has been appointed Ambassador
Extraordinary to Turin. He is to give King
CHARLES ALBERT the benefit of his military know-
ledge by advising the KING on military matters
whenever such advice may be required.
The Prince DE LA MOSKOWA (NET) is appointed
Ambassador to Stockholm.

The Moniteur contains another long list of Or-
leanist Prefects who have been re-appointed.

OLDENBURGH.

OLDENBURGII, JAN. s.—The Duke Of OLDEN.-
Bußcti had demanded of the States 130,000 dollars for
the civil list. The States, however, voted only
100,000 dollars, with an addition of 15,000 dollars
as an appanage for the Hereditary GRAND DUKE.
Yesterday, the GRAND DUKE declared that he would
reduce his total demand to 120,000 dollars, including
the appanage of the GRAND DUKE. To this the
States would have consented, had not the SOVEREIGN
made it a condition that this sum should be secured
on landed property to his family as hereditary pro-
perty. His Ministerial Council and M.Vonr
who was sent to Frankfort on this subject, have not
been able to make hirn„change his resolution.
The Diet has appointed a commission to negotiate
with the PRINCE on the subject, and on several
other points of the constitution.
The GRAND DUKE also raised difficulties on the
suspensive veto which had been granted to him, and
demands an absolute veto.

MONEY and COMAU.R.CIAL
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Marketatlivcrpool yesterday was rather
tame, and the sales did not exceed 4,500 bales. With
regard to prices, they are now, as compared with Fri-
day's rates, id. per lb. in favour of the buyer. The fol-
lowing are the transactions:-3,500 Arnetic,m, at 3-1-(1
to sid.; 50 Bahia. at 5d.; 100 Egyptian, at sd. to 7d.;
and 40 Sea bland, at Bd. to is. 3d. The Railway Share
Market waa firm, and a fair amount of business was
done.

The accounts received from abroad are very en•
couraging, and correspond entirely with the more
buoyant feeling which daily develops itself here.
The following items are given in the last American
advices:—
" We assure all who are interested in the credit of the
State of Ohio, that no fears are entertained, by those
having the best means of accurate information, of its
ability to meet the interest on the State Stock which
may tall due before the time fixed for the meeting of
the Lfgislature. This may be relied upon. The inte-
rest will be paid, whether the General Aasembly is or-
ganised or not."
Again, upon the subject of the North American Trust
Company, in which many English shareholders are in-
terested, it is stated:—
" We an, informed that the visit of Mr. of
the firm of Palmer, M•Killop, Dent, and Co., of Lon-
don, to this country, has nothing to do with the con-
templated compromise between the bondholders and
stockholders of the North American Trust and Banking
Company. It is, however, probable that some proposi-
tion may be made to that effect by parties here, and it is
not impossible but that some such arrangement may be
consummated."

The following information upon the Sugar and Coffee
Markets, is supplied by Messrs. Cary aLd Brown:—
" The arrivals of sugar in the whole of the ports of
the United Kingdom exhibited a deficiency last year
confirmatory of the reduced production of our colonies,
the general importation of British being 243,000 tons,
and of foreign 89,000 tons; together 332,000 tons,
against 409,000 tons in 1847. The total stock, how-
over, though heavy, is not very materially in excess or
December, 1847, being 80,000 tons British, and
39.800 tons foreign; total, 119,800 tons against
110,000 tons ; our consumption having further
progressed, the quantity on which duty has been
paid, being about 305,000 tons, which, even allowing
that many parcels of foreign, on which the reduced rate
was paid in July, yet remain in the warehouses, will
leave a probable increase of about 10,000 tons, the offi-
cial returns of the quantity consumed last year giving
289,600 tons.

No detracting feature appears to have arisen to
change the position, on which rather sanguine opi-
nions for the article of Coffee were based, at the close
of 1847, or sufficient cause to warrant the
extraordinary depreciation that has taken place
in its value, and which, in reference to the lutuie,
must tend to strengthen the probabilities in its favour,
as being calculated to add to the discouragement for
renewing plantations that will be gradually wearing out,
and prevent the hastening forward of supplies. 'Thy
stocks in the lt tiding ports of Europe, which for some
time had exhibited an important surplus, have of late di-
minished, and it is very probable will show a deficiency
when made up to the end of the year ; a
material revival in the demand has been experienced
during the past month, and in Holland considerable
activity has prevailed, which renewal of animation
and improved feeling, is extending its influence to other
markets."

The accounts from the manuFacturing districts are
again this week of a very favourable character, and the
artisans have ample employment, with a prospect of its
continuance.

In the Funds there is not much doing, but the quota-
tions continue exceedingly firm. Consols are 89i I for
Transfer, and 89k a for Account. Bank Stock has been
marked 1891 to 1912. Exchequer Bills have been 40s.
to 445. premium, anu India Bonds 435. to 455. premium.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
89i. to 90.
The Foreiga Securities have been buoyant, and in the
South American investments a good deal has been done.
Mexican Bonds have touched 25i I; Grenada have been
16 to 16a; Equador, 3 to k; Peruvian, 50; Buenos Ayres,
271 to 29; Vent zuela, 191 to 201; and Brazilian, 751.
Why such stock as Buenos Aires and Guatemala, should
be in favour at high prices we are at loss to conceive,
except the speculators hope that the example of Peru
will haie a go-d effect. Spanish Three per Cents.
are 27,-1 1. Dutch Two. and. a-llalf per Cents. have
been 49i.
Railway Shares are quiet, but very firm. Caledonian,
North British, end York and Berwick are higher.
Eastern Counties are still very flat. The next, dividend,
it is said, will be 61. per share.

CAUTION TO MARINERS PASSING IN OR OUT

OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Gibraltar, Jan. 3, 1849.
Sir,—l beg to subjoin, for the information of the
Committee, a copy of a dispatch, which I have just
had the honour of receiving from his Excellency Vice-
Admiral Sir William Parker, on the Mediterranean
station, dated 9th ult.
I think that every publicity should be given to the
caution against masters of merchant vessels imprudently
keeping near to the Riff coast, in passing in or out of
the Mediterranean, particularly in the summer season,
when calms prevail, which facilitates the capture of ves-
sels by the row-boats of the Riffians.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
J. LONGLANDS COWELL, Agent for Lloyd's.
Capt. Halsted, R.N., Secretary to Lloyd's.
Copy of tiispatch referred to:—
" Hibeinia, at Naples, Dec. 9, 1848.
" Sir,—ln acknowiedjug the receipt of your letter, of
the 20th ult., with the copies of your reports to the se-
cretary at Lloyd's, I beg to express my satisfaction that
the promptitude. zest. and gallantry of Commander
M'Cleverty, and the officers and crew of the l'o:yphe-
taus, enabled them to recover the brig Three Sisters from
the Riff pirates.
" I entirely agree in your recommendation, that the
mastcrs of merchant vesseis should be directed to give
the Cape Tres Fercas a wlde berth, and accord with you
in thinking, that without the employment of a large
force the attempt to de.troy the launches and boats on
the Riff coast would not be accomplished, except at the
expense of a considerable loss of lite, and that the boats,
&c., so destroyed, would soon be replaced by the
pirates. _

" I am. Sir, your very humble servant,
(Signed) " W. PARKER, Vice. Admiral.
" To J. Longlands Cowell, Esq., Agent for Lloyd's."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
We have again to report the arrival of a very limited
supply of English Wheat for our market, coastwise as
well as by laid carriage. To-day the show of samples
was small in the extreme; nevertheless, the demand for
all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish
state, at Monday's prices. Comp ,ratively speaking the
imports of Foreign Wheat—the whole of which have
gone into bond—have been small. The best qualities,
free of duty, sold at full currencies. All other descrip•
tions were a slow inquiry. Bonded Wheats were taken
to some extent, at full prices. The market was well
supplied with Barley, the demand for which was heavy,
at the late decline in value. Malt was extremely inac-
tive, and the quotations were alms st nominal. Oats
were mostly held at late rates. Beans, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour were tisglect,d.

For the time of year, our market to-day was very
moderately supplied with Beasts, both as to number and
quality. Owing, however, to the absence of the princi-
pal buyers, the Beef trade was in a depressed state, at
Monday's decline in the quotations—those for the best
Scots not exceeding 3s 10d to 4s per 8 lbs., and a clear-
ance was not effected. The supply of Sheep was un-
usually small; yet the Mutton trade was in a sluggish
state, at unaltered currencies. The primest old Downs
were selling at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 8 lbs. On the
whole, the Veal trade was firm, at about stationary
prices. In Pigs—the supply of which was small—next
to nothing was done. Mulch Cows were quoted at from
141 to 181 each, including their small calf.
