England notes, and gave three of these 201. notes to
the Prisoner, and some of them to the man Pierri. On
the 29A1 of November, Orsini arrived in Brussels with
a false passport, and the first thing he did was to for-
ward the grenades which had been conveyed thither.
This having been accomplished, Pierri arid Orsini met
at the Cafe Suisse. On the 11th of December, Orsini's
horse is conveyed to Paris, along with the grenades.
On the 12th, Orsini was shown to be in Paris, with the
grenades in his possession, and all in readiness for the pro-
jected attempt. A few days afterwards we find the four
persons Orsini, t'ierri, Gomez, and Rudio, with the re.
volvers and grenades in their possession; and in conjunc-
hptntweroioiotsanoolrvinwuee dvire‘h these facts it must be borne in mind that false
names and false pretences had been used by all parties.

urged that that circumstance was strong proof that the
prisoner had no intention of taking pat tin the attempted
assassination, but if the jury were of that opinion they
woull, in accordance with the directions of the learned
judge, give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. If the
scheme was not an atteevt at assassination what need
was there for Bernard to write, and he did on the
Bth of December to Oatrequin introducing Orsini
as Ailsop. Why should the fire-arms have been
sent to M. Outrequin with a false statement if
they were to be used for legitimate purposes !
Why did all the letters point to a speedy return to Lon-
don and not contain one word in all ion to the general
rising in Italy, upon which so much stress had been
laid ? Why should the. grenades have been sent to
Paris when the discovery is almost certain ? Why, if
they were not wanted for some purpose in Paris, were
they not sent to a place where they would be more se-
cure ? He asked the jury, with every disposition to put
the most favourable construction on all the circum-
stances, what other conclusion could they arrive at tint
that of the assassination of the Emperor Napoleon ?
Before that period arrived, Bernard went to a wretched
lodging in Soho, and finds Rudio starving ; and there he
prevailed upoen the unfortunate man to leave his wife,
his children, and the country in which he had sought
shelter to start for Paris and assist Oredui in contriving
all that was necessary to enable them to carry the
despotic attempt into execution. He went with the
instruments upon him, and was taken into custody with
his ill-go' ten wealth upon him.
The prisoner here struck the front of the dock, and
with great energy exclaimed, "Non."
Lord Campbell put up his hand, and the prisoner
bowed and resumed hit self-p s s ion.
The Attorney-General continued—Rudio was taken
with Mfr. upon his per: on, although ten days before
his wife and child were perishing from starvation and
cold. Bernard had obtained for his wife during his ab-
sence 12s. per week, and the hired assassin went to Paris
to murder in cold Wood persons who had never done him
any harm. On his arrival he undeniably joined Pierri
arid OrFini, with whom he remained to aims: in carrying
the dreadful crime into operation. Such was the man
that Bernard sent over to Paris, and that too from a
country in which both himself and the prisoner were
fillew-refugees. If after the attempt Bernard bad be-
come horror-stricken, why did he still continue to deal
secretly w:tb Rudio's wife ? Oae thing was quite car-

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Observing that the Times and several of
your contemporaries are severe in their strictures
on Lord Derby's Bill for what they term shirking
the responsibility of the Indian Bill, it is desirable
that their attention should be called to the plain
fact, that the feelings of the present GoVeil-nent,
or those of any other on the subject, may be easily
understood, they have, no doubt, a due sense of
their own merit, and think they can govern India
better than it was done before, and are not averse
to have the power and patronage of India placed in
their hands for this put pose, but they probably do
not much relish a coeneil which will hsten their
power and patronage, and be a check on their c
duct. The formation of an eff:Ttive Indian Coun-
cil will only be male by the House of Cunmons
taking the bill into their own hands. We want a
council that can act as well as advise, and have
sufficient power to throw a check upon incomi e-
teace in au Indian Minister, to recall a Governor-
. General, to apeoint Members of Council in India,
f r it is much to be feared that the jobbery and
patronage of some fifure Cabinet of Ministers may
to k to interest and not to merit, and appoint ii-
competent scions of the nobility, wholly ignorant
of India, to the highest offices, as Secretary of
may convuleel
State, Governor-General, d-; e, whose gross errors,
jobbery, and patronage, ,and even
lose India ; and consider how England will de-
scend in the rank of nations if it loses India. An
effective council for India, such as I have proposed,
a Cabinet of Ministers will be in no hurry to intro-
duce. The Indian B:ll is evidently one which the
House of Commons should take into their own
hands. This the sound judgment of Lord John
Russell at once perceived, when Ile moved th at at
should be discussed by reso!utione in ti.e house.
This bill should be proceeded with at (lice, as the
mutiny in India has strougly engross ecl the publics
mind, and at no future period will the subject re-
ceive so much attention and consideration as at
present ; in fact, if deferred, interest may die away,
and a bill be smuggled through Parham, nt. The
causes of the Indian mutiny may he easily seen •
ter, ugh. Lord Palmerston's arbitrary dis-
position, which led him to support unfit
officials—his passion for raising rows, espe-
cially for engaging in wars with petty States,
as China and Persia—what is vulgarly termed
humbug in Indian officials, which lead them to
p wiper the Bengal sepoys in so extraordinary a
manner that discipline was wholly lost ; they pro-
bably thought they would recommend themselves
to advancement thereby. Lord Ellenborough's
Indian Councl is a very clever idea, and solves a
difficulty which seemed to be insurmountable
here. With the fullest power and responsibility in

It is much to be hoped that the House of Parlia-
