PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS yesterday the Duke of LEINSTER moved the
Address, and took occasion to express his conviction that a sys-
tem of Poor-laws was necessary to the well-being of Ireland.
The Earl of BURLINGTON seconded the Address, and enforced
the propriety of augmenting our naval forces, when other
Powers were doing the same. The Duke of WELLINGTON
thought their Lordships ought not to be called upon to give
any specific pledge on the subject of corporation reform in
Ireland. Lord MELBOURNE stated the preservation of
peace to be his great object. The increase of the naval
force of the country was intended only for the purpose men-
tioned in the Speech itself—to meet the necessity of main-
taining the maritime strength of the country—and to give
adequate protection to its extended commerce. The Earl
of WINCHILSEA supported the amendment. Lord WHARN.
CLIFFE also supported it. The Marquis of LANspowNE de-
clared it had not been intended to pledge the House to any
particular measure. Protesting against being understood to
abandon, for Ireland, the principle of the English Munici-
pal Reform Bill, he and his Noble Friends were content to
adopt the words of the amendment. The Address, so
amended, was then agreed to without opposition, and the
House adjourned.
In the COMMONS several important notices were given, for
which we refer to our full report of the Parliamentary pro-
ceedings. The Address was moved by Sir JOHN WROTTES-
LEY, who in the course of his speech advocated the introduction
of Poor Laws for Ireland, as well as a reform in her municipal
institutions. Mr. PARKER seconded the Address. Sir R.
PEEL, was opposed to a pledge having for its object a measure
of Municipal Reform for Ireland, and therefore moved an
amendment similar to that proposed by the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON in the other House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL insisted on
the justice of Municipal Reform for Ireland. Lord STANLEY
was in favour of the amendment. Lord Ho wicx spoke in
favour of the Address. Lord DUDLEY STUART said that he
wished Ministers had imitated the example of the French
Chambers. The lawless aggression of Russia, and the treat-
ment Poland had experienced, was a subject that called forth
all our sympathies. The Honourable Member concluded by
giving notice of a motion on this subject for the 16th instant.
Lord PALMERSTON said that no declaration like that suggested
was necessary, after what had formerly been stated from the
Throne with regard to Turkey and Poland. He protested
against any indifference being inferred on the part of Ministers
to the violation of treaties, from their present silence • , but as

his Noble Friend would so soon bring the case of Poland be-

fore the House, he would not then go- into it. Peace, he con-
fidently hoped, rested on a better foundation than ever. Mr.
HARDY supported the Amendment. Mr. WARD said
that Ireland ought not to be denied justice on ac-
count of one inhabitant. Colonel SIBTHORP was eloquent
on the subject of the Ministers having the assistance of
Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'CONNELL spoke with his usual power
and effect. The speech will be read with interest. Mr. SHAW
accused the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin with osten-
sibly claiming justice for Ireland, but in reality seeking power
for himself. The House then divided ; the numbers were •
For the original motion, 284 ; For the amendment, 243. Ma-
jority in favour of Ministers, 41. Sir R. NIUSGRAVE gave no-
tice that he would on Tuesday next move for leave to bring in a
Bill for the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland. Mr.
HARDY gave notice of a motion relative to the election, in June
last, of Alexander Raphael Esq., and N. A. Vigors, Esq., for
Carlow. Mr. HOME gave notice of a motion respecting the
printing of Private Bills, after which the House adjourned.

PARIS.

INFERNAL MACHINE PLOT.
COURT OF PEERS, TUESDAY, FEB. 2.
(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)

TRIAL OF FIESCHT, PENN, MOREY, BOIREAU, AND BESCHER, FOR
THE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY THE KING'S LIFE BY
MEANS OF THE INFERNAL MACHINE EMPLOYED ON THE 28TH

JULY, 1835.
Boireau, upon being again questioned as to how he employed
the day of the 28th, denied the charges which several witnesses
made against him. At the moment of the explosion he was in
the Rue Meslay, and not on the spot where the crime was corn,.
mitted. Boireau continued to deny with energy all the points
of Suireau's deposition.
Fieschi affirmed this fact. If he had to depose a hundred
times over, he should say the same thing.
Boireau again denied it.
The President—Boireau, you are still young; think within
yourself, be frank, and tell us the truth.
Boireau—Sir, I have always been of a frank disposition ;
I swear again that I have told the truth.
The Procureur-General asked Fieschi where he had pro-
cured the martinet or scourge ?—I made it myself. I cast the
balls in walnut-shells, and got the thongs at Morey's. He did
not see me make it. but I showed it to him afterwards.

EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES.

President—Call in the first witness.--( The witnesses are
divided into sections, those who have to state facts relative to
the attempt, and who saw the machine at the moment of the
explosion, being summoned first in order.)
John Francois Doreill, brigadier of the Sergeant de Ville,
deposed, that on the 29th July he was on duty on the Boulevard
du Temple, where he witnessed the act committed by Fieschi.
Immediately after the explosion, he broke open the door of the
prisoner's chamber, and entered. He saw the machine still
smoking, also two gray hats and two glazed hats, marked each
with an anchor. . _ _

Basile Benor►ique Villers, inspector of police, deposed as to
the facts already known relative to the arrest of Fieschi.
M. Martin, a painter, saw at a window in the house No. 50,
Boulevard du Temple, on the 28th of July, several men, and
some muskets. These men retired a little before the explo-
sion. The witness then saw the barrels of the guns ranged all
in a line, and then the three men crouching down at the end,
like an artilleryman pointing a cannon ; immediately after-
wards the lattice of the window fell, and, the explosion was
heard. (Movement.)
Fieschi.—This gentleman is completely under an error.
Fear must have made him loose his presence of mind, and see
things double. I was alone in the chamber at the moment of
the explosion. The witness could not have seen the extremities
of the guns, for I had covered them with an apron.
The witness persisted in his statement.
Fieschi declared that it was impossible that anybody could
see into his apartment from the extremity of the Rue Chariot.
Some other witnesses were then heard relative to the ob-
jects seized upon Fieschi. The deposition of another witness,
since dead, was also read : it was of no importance. The
Court then adjourned at half-past 5.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3.
(Baron PASQUIER, President..)
At half past 12 the prisoners, Fieschi, Morey, Pepin,
Boireau, and Bescher, were introduced by the usual escort of
Municipal Guards. The prisoner Fieschi was as gay as ever,
he bowed respectfully to the Court as soon as the President
took his seat.

The President questioned the prisoner Bescher, as to the
fact of Cahusac, one of the April prisoners, having slept at
his lodgings after his escape ?—Such was the fact.

The—Court then resumed the examination of the witnesses.
The first called was Sophie Salmon, aged 36. She stated
that she was the daughter of the porter at the house No. 50,
Boulevard du Temple, where Fieschi constructed and let off
the infernal machine. Her evidence was of no impoi tance.
The next witness was Nina Lasave, one of Fieschi's mis-
tresses. She is what is generally called a pretty girl. She
was plainly dressed in a cotton gown, and had a brown silk
bonnet. Her dress being of a much more simple style than
at the first day's sitting. She said that on the 25th of July
last she did not quit the hospital of La Salpetriere. On the
Sunday following she went to Fieschi's lodgings. She found
him alone. She remarked in the room a machine directed
towards the Boulevard. She took it for a loom. Here the
mistress described the machine as already noticed, with the ex-
ception that she had riot remarked the iron cross-bar. Fieschi
told her that it was a machine for making silk cord. In the
month of April previously she had remarked some planks of
wood piled against the wall of Fieschi's room. He said
they were to form a loom. She had no doubt that they were
the same used for making the infernal machine. In the con-
versation she had with Fieschi, he told her not to come to Paris
during the fete of July, as there would be some disturbances,
and he was anxious that she should not be there. She said
that she wished to see the fete, upon which he said that if she
persisted in her intention he should shut his door against her.
She therefore promised not to quit the Salpetriere during the
fetes. She left her lodgings that day at two o'clock, and went
to see Aganthe, No. 25, rue Meslay. Fieschi accompanied
her for the purpose of telling that female to take a walk with
witness, as he had not time. On first entering his room that
day, she remarked that he had an altered and anxious counte-
nance. On asking him the reason he said that he was in a bad
position, but that she must not ask him any other questions, as

he should not reply to them. On the following day (Monday)
she went to his house, but did not go up, she merely told the
porter that she would meet Fieschi at the girl Bocquin's lodg-
ings. Not finding her at home she returned, and she was passing
along the Boulevard du Temple, at the Porte St. Martin side,
she perceived Fieschi and Morey sitting outside a cafe ; they
were taking some beer. Fiescbi seeing her left Morey, and joined
her; he then apologized for not having met her, and said be
had made a mistake in the address ; as he appeared still more
sombre than on the former evening she did not reproach him ;
he took her into the passage of the house where he lived, and
after making some further excuses for not having kept his ap-
pointment, he told her to go to the house of Madame Melet,
where she would find Annette, and he should shortly rejoin
them ; he could not then ask her to go up stairs, as he was
very busy. He came to the appointment at three o'clock, but
he had hardly entered the room when he wished to go awaYP
alleging that he had a great deal to do. He seemed very im-
patient. He, however, accompanied her and Annette Boc-
quin a little way on the Boulevard. He then suddenly left
her, telling her that he should call to see her on the following
day at the Salpetriere. She had known Morey for some time;
She used often to pass by his shop at Croulebarbe. Fieschl
told her that Pepin was his intimate friend. He had recom-
mended me to him, as also to Morey. Fieschi said that Pepin
was a Republican, and had been condemned to death. Fieschi
frequently spoke of his Republican principles, and expressed 1!
belief that they would shortly be successful. Of late Fieschi
had more money than before. On asking him if he was sup-
plied by the freemasons, he said, " Don't fear, I shall never
want for money." He told her that he was a freemason. He
gave her money occasionally, but never more than five francs
at a time.
