LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1851.

The grand jury having found a true bill against
Mr. and Mrs. SLOANE, on an indictment containing
many counts, an application was yesterday made by
counsel on behalf of the male defendant for the post-
ponement of his trial until next session. The motion
was grounded on an affidavit made by the attorney
for Mr. SLOANE, stating his belief that his client
could not obtain a fair trial in the present state of
public feeling, and that Mr. SLOANE was unable to
come to court with reference to the present applica-
tion, or to consult with his counsel, or even to
venture into the public streets, so great was
the excitement which prevailed against him
in regard to the offence with which he was charged.
Und,:r those circumstances the Learned Judges (Mr.
Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice TALFOUBD) ac-
ceded to the application, and the bail for the appear-
ance of the defendant was accordingly enlarged until
next session.

We confess that, although as anxious as any per-
sons can possibly be that this extraordinary case
ohould receive the most stringent investigation at the
earliest period practicable, we cannot regret the ad-
jaarnment§ gr the onsequent delay that has taken
*44, to toontiol that Um LoulB thould be
hi to trial it tha tame time with her bus.

FRANCE.

The Assembly met yesterday at two o'clock,
General Bedeau, Vice-President, in the chair.
The Assembly presented an unusually calm aspect,
owing, no doubt, to the absence of its most eminent
members, Messrs. Mole, Berryer, de Broglie, °Ron
Barrot, Thiers, Dupin, &0., who, it was said, had
been summoned to the Ely, ee. General Chingarnier,
wh.) was at his bench, attracted title notice. His
dismissal ccntinues the situmbling-block of the forma-
tion of the Cabinet. The President makes it a sine
quit non-condition, and wishes it to be immediate.
All ree as to its necessity, but its expediency is
questioned by those who consent to enter the Cabinet.
and accordingly irked to be allowed to bide their
time. M. Rouher was the only member of the Cabinet
present.
The Assembly resume' the discussion on the Mort-
gage Reform Bill, in which M. Rouher, Minister of
Justice, took part. M. Vatismenil, in replying to a
passage of his speech, relative to the credit foncier,
observed that the President of the Republic, placing
himself above the Legislative power—(Loud murmurs
on the Right. " This is a provocation !" exclaimed
M. Abatucci), recommended a contrary course to
that adopted by M. Rouher. M. Vatismenil then
taunted the Minister with having entertained on the
mortgage reform an opinion quite at variance with
the one he developed to-day. M. Rouher rose and
confessed that he had actually changed bis opinion,
and declared, amidst the applause of a large portion
of the majority, that he gloried in sacrificing his
private opinion, when necessary for the furtherance
of the great interests of the country.
MM. Wilton Barrot, Duoin, Mole, Thiers,
Berryer, Montalembert, and Da Broglie were sent
for yesterday to the Elpee. The President said, that
seeing himself abandoned by the majority, he had no
alternative but a Billault Ministry. He stated that
he would accept any General—even General Cavaig-
nac—the Assembly might name, but to General Chan-
garnier's domination he would no longer submit, nor
would he accept any Ministry that did not remove
that General. M. Billault has been sent for to the
Ely see. This resolution of the President has alarmed
the majority, ar.d toe Assembly was agitated at its
close.

GERMAN Y.

The Prussian corps, as well as the Austrian army,
are steadily progressing towards Holstein. Accord-
ing to the Ober Post-Ampts Zeitung, part of these
troops with their head-quarters arrived at Cassel on
the afternoon of the sth inst. They consisted of the
3d Jagers, one battalion of Wellington Infantry, and
one battery. Toe Prince of Thurn and Taxis had
gone out to meet these troops, and the Elector, on
hor,eback, awaited their coming on the Friedrichs
Piatz. General Legeditach was likewise greeted and
complimented by Count Leiningen and General
Peucker, the Federal Commissioners in Hesse.
From Hanover it is stated that the arrangements
for the victualling and shelter of the troops on their
march through that kingdom are now completed, and
that the number of troops which will march through
Hanover will amount to 20,000 men. The expenses
will amount to 150,000 thalers, which will be ad-
v inced by Hanover.

Thejglamburger Nachrichten asserts most positively
that no communications whatever have taken place
between the Prussian Government and the Senate of
liamburgh on the subject of the occupation of the city
by Prussian troops. That paper admits that a Prus-
sian corps is concentra(ing on the Mecklenburg fron•
tier for the purpose of supporting the Austrians in
case they were to meet with resistance in Holstein,
but it protests that, even in this extreme case, the
Prussian troops would enter the Duchies without
touching the Hamburgh territory.
From Munich we learn that orders have been given
to disband the second division of the 2d corps of the
Bavarian army.
In a proclamation which is dated the 3,1 inst., the
Sanding Committee of the Diet of Wurtemberg pro-
tests against two orders in council as unconstitutional
and illegal. Tne orders which the Standing Com-
mittee impeaches are the new Wurtemburg press law
and a decree which authorises the levying and the
appropriation of the revenue. Re`erring to para-
graph 109 of the Charter of the Consitivion, the
Standing Committee protests against imposing or levy-
ing any direct or indirect tax without the express
consent of the E•ta'es.

Mr. Justice TALFOURD said he concurred in what had
fallen from the Learntd Counsel for the prosecution,
and h) thought it would be very unsafe to convict the
prisoner of the crime of raps on evidence such as ad
been given in this case, or even of the minor charge of
assault. Had she been a person unused to make such
charges her story to-day might have been helive.l; but
that not being so, he thought it would be extremely
dangerous t ) place implicit belief in her story.
The jury took the same view of the case and imme-
diately acquitted the prisoner.

NEW COURT.

illoses Barnett, the Jew who was yesterday con-
victed of receiving goods knowing them to be stolen,
was brought up for sentence.
On being asked what he had to say why sentence
should not be passed on him ?
The prisoner said that he had been falsely sworn
to, and at some length complained of the way in
which the charge had been got up against him, de-
nying that he received the indigo for his own use,
but merely to take care of it for the lad.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the
prisoner had been very properly convicted by a con-
siderate and merciful jury of receiving the indigo
knowing it to have been s:olen, and the circumstances
were of a peculiar and most atrocious character, and
the jury had come to a conclusion which he (the
Learned Recorder) had no doubt whatever in his
mind was a correct one. Several witnesses had been
called yesterday to give him a good character, some
of whom did not know much of the pri-
soner, and some knew him more intimately ;
but that merely proved that he bore a
good character as far as they knew of him.
Still there was no doubt of his (prisoner's) guilt,
for his conviction did not rest upon the evidence of
the lad, whose character was most suspicious, but
upon the clear testimony of the respectable clerk and
officers. In consequence of the character given to
the prisoner, sentence had been postponed until this

he had done so, and had also made inquiry of the ma-
gistrates and others, and from what had been learned
he felt it due to the interests of society that a severe
sentence should be passed. His Lordship then ad-
verted to the peculiar circumstances of the case, and
added that there could be no doubt but that the pri-
soner's plan had been to hang about, get into the

GUILDHALL.

John Palmer, a well-known character as an asso-
ciate of thieves and burglars, was brought up, charged
with being found in a private dwelling-house for an
unlawful purpose.
The charge was clearly proved, and several officers
happening to be in court who were acquainted with
the prisoner's mode of obtaining his living, came for-
wai d and stated thathe had been previously convicted
of similar offences, and had on one occasion been
sentenced at the Old Bailey to twelve montns' im-
prisonu.ent.
Webb, a detective officer, said he knew the prisoner
as an accomplice of Hoare, who was transported a
short time ago for committing a burglary.
Prisoner said—lt's very hard, your Worship, that
I should be continually taken up for nothing at all.
Sir P. LAURIE—But you were found in this house
under very suspicious circumstances. Prisoner—l
went to see Mrs. Smith, that I thought lodged there.
Sir P. LaustiE—That Won't do for us. Mrs.
Smith did not live there, and you knew it. You are
also well known to the police, and it appears you have
been previously convicted. Prisoner—lt's a cruel
thing, your Worship, that that one conviction should
be al ways brought up against me wherever I go. If
I am taken up at Bow street, this conviction is men-
tioned to prove the charge, and if I come up here it
is brought forward in a similar way. I have suf-
fered imprisonment for that, and I think it ought to
be allowed to rest.

Webb—He is not very poor, sir, for he keeps a
brothel.

Prisoner—Yes, Mr. Webb, and I lent you half-a-
crown one night to give a girl.—(Great laughter.)
I wish, your Worship, you could make it convenient
to transport me, for I shall never thrive in London.
S►r P. LAURIE—I wish I had the power. It would
materially benefit the public. •
Prisoner—And it would be a great charity to me,
Sir, I assure you.
Sir P. LAURIE—I shall send you for three months
to the House of Correction, with hard labour.

Prisoner—l don't mind that, for I am equal to
any kind of work.
Sir P. LAURIE—But we have a new kind of in-
strument called the crank, at which we set prisoners
to woik : it is rather harder work than the treadmill.

Prisoner—Webb has seen me with Hoare, who has
had 201. worth of stolen goods in his cart, and Webb
has drunk with me in a public-house and told Hoare
to take the goods home and get rid of them as soon
as possible.
Sir P. LAURIE-Why, even now you are admitting
a felony. I shall, however, only order you to be kept
to hard labour at the crank for the full time.

Webb, who denied the prisoner's assertion respect-
ing himself, was standing near the dock, when, as the
prisoner was leaving' he leaned over and aimed a most
desperate blow at Webb's head, which he, however,
luckily avoided.

THE RECIT.

I.
The situation in which France was placed by the
systematic hostility of the Assembly, and the flagrant
conspiracies of the old monarchical parties, was in-
tolerable.

It was impossible to work or to govern. All things
suffered—agriculture, manufactures, commerce, laws,
authority, and society—all endured a common agony.
The Assembly prevented the execution of railways,
and such pnblic works, by incessant delays and imprac-
ticable systems.
The Assembly checked the vigorous action of the
executive, necessary for the repression of Socialism, by
refusing to pass a law which permitted the Chief of the
State to dismiss unworthy mayors.
The Assembly refused the gratitude and considera-
tion due to the services of the army, by rejecting the
modest demand which was made, with a view to succour
the misfortunes of old soldiers.

The Assembly refused the revision of a senseless
Constitution, which delivered France, bound hand and

foot, into the hands of communism and demagogy. The
Assembly refused the revision, though it was demanded
by more than two million petitioners, by the immense
majority of tho councils of arrondissement, and by eighty
out of eighty-six councils general of the departments.
II-
The situation, then, was intolerable. It was necessary
to put an esd to it. All parties felt this. In starting fur
their departments, at the time of the prorogation of the
Assembly, t great number of Conservative representa-
tives, i❑ titling leave of the President, conjured him to
dissolve the Assembly before the time of its re-as-
sembling.
At the stme period, the party which is termed that of
fusion, caused overtures to be made to the President, to
offer its alt in saving society, and to join him in the
event of its becoming indispensable for him to make a
coup d'itat. . _ _

stocks, as she was commenced in 1842. The Royal
Albert is of 3,394 tons, old measurement.

YIL

Some of the arrests present characteristic traits, and
it may be of some interest to relate the particulars of
some of the principal ones.
All the details that are here given are scrupulously
exact, haring been extracted from the official document.
The most important of all, that of General Changer-
nier, was confided to two men of rare energy, the Com-
vtissaire de Police, Leras, and Captain Baudinet, of the
Republican Guard. They were assisted by 15 chosen
police agents, 30 of the Republican Guards, and a pic-
quet of 10 horsemen. At five minutes past six the
Cononissaire de Police rang at the door of the house of
the General, No. 3, Rue de Faubourg St. Honore. The
porter, as usual, asked" Who's there?" The reply was,
" Open the door, I wish to speak to you." The porter,
however, refused to open. It was evident he was on his
guard. The agent who bad spoken to him was directed,
in a whisper, to carry on the conversation with the
porter, so as to divert him from giving the alarm to the
General.

In the same house, and beside the entrance door, is a
grocer's shop—some customers were already in it. The
commissaire was struck with the idea that the shop
might probably communicate with the courtyard of the
house. He entered, asked in an imperative tone for the
key of the door that communicated with the court, and
obtained it. Ho thus penetrated into the house,
followed by his agents. The porter, however, had
already given the alarm by ringing belle, which were
hung in the General's apartments. His servant was
found on the landing•place of the first story above the
entresol• The key of the apartment, which he had in
his hand, was taken from him. The commissaire
opened the door and entered.

At the same momenta bed-room door was opened, and
the General appeared in his nightshirt, with naked feet,
and a pistol in each hand.

Th© commissaire rushed to him, and put down his
arms, saying, " What are you about, General; we do
not seek your life—there is no need to defend it."
The General remained calm, gave up his pistols, and
said, "I am yours (Je sues A veils), I will dress myself."
The General was dressed by his servant, and said to
the Commissaire, "I know that M. de Maupas is a gen-
tleman—have the kindness to say to him from me, that I
hope that his courtesy will not allow him to deprive me
of my servant, whose assistance is necessary to me"
(dont je ne puis sue passer). His request was at once
granted.

On his way to prison in the vehicle, the General
spoke of the event of the day. "The re-election of the

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

SATURDAY EVENING.—The colliery consists of two
pits near together. The deeper pit, of 127 yards,
works the nine foot seam. The other pit, ninety
yards deep, works the five foot seam. These two
pits are connected by a shaft through the five foot
seam down to the nine foot—an air furnace being
connected with the shaft of the five foot pit, so as
to create an up-draught.

The explosion took place in the northern part of
the workings of the deeper seam, but communicated
by the shaft with the upper seam. The force of
the explosion may be judged from the fact that the
corve ascending the deeper shaft, loaded with 16 cwt. \
of coal, was projected into the air, and the coal fell
around on every side like the cinders from a vol-
cano. An empty descending corve in the other shaft
was thrown out of the pit, and fell at a considerable
distance. The fire cage at the mouth of the pit was
knocked to pieces, and several men were thrown
down, but happily were not seriously injured.
Eli Barber, with a party of about 16, were work-
ing in the southern portion of the mine when the ex-
plosion took place. They were hastening to the pit
shaft, when they encountered the after damp, from
the effects of which they were found almost insen-
sible, when James Froggatt and some other colliers
descended and rescued them in a very exhausted
state. One of the number, named Joseph Cooper, had
actually reached the pit shaft, and had climbed by
the conductors a considerable distance up the shaft.
Of the party thus rescued, two were so much injured
that they have since died.
Of those enumerated above as seriously injure elWilliem Barraclough, Timothy Tinsley, n
Abra-
ham Thompson are Eicce dead. Three other dead
bodies have been got out of the pit since our former
ec
eorgecount,
Kviz , John Garnick, George Hague, and
Gnapton:
It is reported that on Friday the
working order, with satisfactory
ventilation.
Betw:en seven and eight o'clock the fire engines
from Rotherham proceeded to the pit to pump in
water, in order to aid in restoring the ventilation. All

Amongst the notices for application to Parliament
for Bills in the ensuing session we observe one entitled
" The Great London Drainage Company," being to incorpo-
rate a company for the purpose of effectually draining the
metropolis, to collect the sewage from all existing sewers
which are now emptied into the river Thames, and to pre-
serve the river from the impurities at present passing into it,
by diverting them into a tunnel sewer, and to collect all
the produce of the sewers for application to agricultural
purposes. When we see the many great and advantageous
schemes which have been carried into successful operation,
surely the one noticed above, promoted by Mr. Morewood,
cannot fail not only of being well supported, but warmly
encouraged.
