But I will not appear again since tritilV s not to be

this Madame Massqlissuredlthsii . , that she per-
fectly:recollected his voicef.—Witkorkkegtatd to theletters
she had received, denAticiii:Valthialisand ounces of gold
for the release of her son, but she could not send it, ke-
cause her whole fortune was not equal to the ainount,
and all-she had was settled upon her children. Madame
Massot was asked by the Procureur-General whether
her husband had not been, at another time, arrested
in like manner, and redeemed himself from captivity by
giving a large sum of money. She replied that she was
not able to state the fact ; bufrM. Villelongue knew
more about it than she did. Madame Massot thee be-

came so faint that she was obliged to be taken oTitiff
court. M. Villelongue, being called, deposed that M.
Massot had informed him, that about three years ago
he was taken by bsigands, and kept in secret confi'oe-
went. They at first fixed his ransom at 60.000 f., but
afterwards reduced it to 15,000 r., which sum being paid
he was liberated, At the close of the hearing, at which
the ainve evidence of Madame Massot and M. Ville-
longue was given, Simon renewed his intimation to the
President that he desired not to appear in Court the
next day ; but the President would not listen to his re-
quest. The whole of the witnesses having been heard,
the Procureur.General addressed the court and jury, in
a speech which lasted three hours, and was listened
to throughout with the profoundest attention and the
deepest interest. He concluded by calling upon the
jury to deliver a verdict which would strike tesolr
into these violaters of humanity, and deter others from
committing the same atrocities. He was replied.to by
two counsel engaged for the prisoners, who rgued
against the jurisdiction of the Court, on the ground of
the crimes with which their clients stood charged being
committed in Spain. On the ninth and last day, the
President, previous to his summing
up, asked the pet-
soners whether they had any thing to say in their own
defence. Simon said, " All I ask is death, and no other
punishment; for if France will commit anotnjustice, let
it be complete." Camps, alias Sale, another, sat,
" You have been told that I killed a Mousou de la
Escuada. I have killed not one but several of them,
and if I had been at the plunder of the diligence, I
would have washed my hands in their blood." A third,
named Barlabe alias Negret, denied that he was at
the robbery of diligence, and declared that if he .had
been he would have cut the throats of all the officers in

it, in revenge for the death of his relations, who
had been murdered by their political enemies," The
rest of the prisoners said nothing ; but several of them
during the trial had protested against the truth of the
evidence given by the witnesses for the prosecution,
affirming that they being Liberals wished to crush them
(the prisoners) bccause they were Carlists. When the
President had summed up, and put the question to the
jury upon which they had to decide, M. Lafabreque,
one of the counsel for the prisoners, applied to the Court
to add to them the three following :—" Was the rebbary
imputed to the prisoners committed in Spain ? Did the
arrests and sequestrations (secret confinements) take
place in Spain ? Was the murder committed in Spain?"
The Procureur-General argued against these ques-
tions, and the Court decided that they could not be put.
The jury retired about three in the afternoon, and,
after five hours' deliberation, returned into Court and
declared their verdict, upon which the Court withdrew to
consider its judgment.
During the half-hour the Court was out, the prisoners
were most scandalous in their conduct! All the
prisoners shouted, "Long live Don Carlos !' F;bregas,
" May God give him health and strength to return to
Spain." Sagas, addressing with a smile the President,
who remained on the bench, said, "I give many
thanks, Sir." If these are the new laws you talk so
much about, I compliment you upon them. You may
call it the balance of justice, but I call it the balance of
hell." Then turning to his fellow-prisoners and laugh-
ing he said, " Come, we have 40 days more which are
necessary for them at Paris to muddle over onr papers,
and then it will be all at an end at the same time
drawing his hand over the neck of Icazes. Three of
them were rolling cigars, and were taking flints, steel, and
tinder from their pockets, with the intent of lighting
them, but were prevented by the gensd'armes. Sagals
called one of the jury by his name, and promised him
that if he or any of his family came to Spain, they might
rely on being well received. This scene was put a stop
to by the Court returning, and delivering the sentences.
One having been declared not guilty, was ordered to be
discharged. Titjade was condemned to imprisoment for
three years, and another for five years ; one to eight
years, and another to ten years' close confinement, and
the pillory ; one to ten years, and one to twenty years'
hard labour at the hulks, with the pillory ; six to hard
labour at the hulks for life, on account of the jury hav-
ing found that there were extenuating circumstances in
their favour ; and four, among whom were Simon, :Aa-
gals, and Icazes, toldeath. The Court ordered that Si-
mon and Sagals sho'uld be executed at Ceret, and the
other two at Perpignan.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTEL-

LIGENC E.

PORTSMOUTH, TuasnAr.--The Terrible steam -frigate, 20
guns, Captain Ramsay, arrived at Spithead this morning
from the Thames. She saluted the Commander-in-Chiefs
flag with 17 guns, which circumstance alone stamped her as
something above the common order of steam-vessels; even
the Retribution (her alleged sister ship), although having
10 guns on board, not having performed a similar cerehsonv,
whether from incapacity or not remains to be seen; but the
fact of her not having done so looks suspicious. The Terrible
is certainly the most complete-looking man-of-war steamer
we ever remember to have seen, with the exception of the
funnels—these spoil the " ship-shape" effect of.the other
warlike features of the noble vessel. Being ship-rigged gives
her another vast advantage in appearance over every other
steamer now at Spithead. The lletribution looks meagre in
comparison, although nearly the same sized hull as her
rival, but 200 tons lighter in build. The only feature
in which the Retribution appears to possess the advantage
over her rival is in having only one funnel, the Terrible's
four giving her more the appearance of a floating bridge than
a floating battery. But the Retribution, notwithstanding
her deflcieney of tonnage, stows properly upwards of 100
tons more of coals than the Terrible. With regard to effi-
ciency as men-of-war, we shall have a fair opportunity of
judging in the forthcoming trials; until that, we defer our
opinion upon the merits of the respective vessels. But there
is one feature connected with the efficiency of these huge
steamers, we cannot permit to pass unnoticed, as it may be
the means, under Supreme guidance, of saving the lives of

hundreds of men—need we say, we allude to the absence of
the paddle-box boats? With the melancholy experience of
the past years before our eyes of the fate of large steamers,
we look upon these monstrous floating furnaces as little bet-
ter than coffins, if perniitted to put to sea without such in-
dispensable auxiliaries to the salvation of life as Captain
Smith's invaluable invention. •

The Eurydice, 26, Captain Elliott, was inspected yester-
day by Captain Corry, of the Superb, for the Commander-
in- Chief, and was towed into harbour to-day, but whether
to be paid off or refitted to join the experimental squadion
(being one of Admiral Elhott's construction), is not yet
ordered. _ _

The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, only wants her
guns to be ready for sea.
The Electra, 18, Commander Maitland, will not proceed to
the coast of Africa, the Admiralty having yesterday altered
her destination to the Pacific, to join the squadron under
Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour, Commander-in-Chief.
The Crocodile, 26 Captain Maxwell, took a quantity of
nrovisions for the squadron on the Irish station, from the
Clarence yard, and sailed this day for Cork, calling at
Plymouth.

he Phoenix steam-sloop, Commander Dennis, went out

to Spithead this afternoon:
The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, went
out of harbour to join the squadron at Spithead this after-
noon, with a distinguished party of officers and ladies, friends
of Sir Charles Ogle, on board.
The Athol troop-ship, Commander Pearn, sailed this after-
noon for Woolwich with the Royal Artillery companies she
brought home.

appointment of officers has not yet taken place, but will be
made out in a few days.
A detachment of Royal Marine Artillery will embark on
Saturday for service on board the Terrible steam-frigate.
Lieutenant Williams will be the officer for this important
duty, a gentleman who, by his zeal and activity since he has
been in the corps has evinced talents of no ordinary kind for
his arduous profession, and who is looked upon as likely to
arrive at the highest dignities of the service.
The 4.3 d Regiment, which arrived from Halifax in the
Blenheim transport on Sunday, marched yesterday to Fort
Moncton, according to orders from the Horse Guards; but
to-day they received counter orders, and are to proceed on
Thursday by sailing for Dover.
The Bth (King's Own) Regiment, about to quit this gar-
rison for India, will be succeeded by the 3d Buffs, at present
quarted at Gosport, in which quarters the 3d will be suc-
ceeded by the 13th Regiment from Walmer or Deal.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, APRIL 7.—Since Friday last there bas
been a slightly improved feeling in our market, espe-
cially as regards yarn, in which a considerable busi-
ness alias been done, though without any sensible im-
provement in prices. For some descriptions of goods,
too, especially good shirtings suitable for the eastern mar-
kets, there has been a more active inquiry, and a fair
amount of business has been done at the lowest rates
previously current. For nearly all other kinds of cloth,
however, the demand is very limited ; and we regret to
learn that a large proportion of the handigom weavers
in the hundred of Blackburn are out of employment, and
that additional looms are stopping daily.
ROCHDALE, APRIL 6.—The market was but thinly at-
tended, though it is fortnight Monday. There has been
considerably less business done in flannels than last
