IrfooME.—No one is less respected than a man who
muddles away a large income nobody knows how. For
all expenditure there should be something to show, and
that something ought to have either usefulness, or dig.
nity, or permanence to recommend it. But every now
and then we meet with cases of expenditure perfectly
mysterious. A man of princely inheritance or prefer.
ment does nothing, makes no figure, helps nobody, has
no expensive taste, yet not only spends every sixpence
of his income, l,ut gets into difficulties. His domain is
neglected, his house ill-furnished, his equipages shabby,
his servants ill-paid, his subscriptions in arrears, his
hospitality mean, his sons stinted, his daughters por-
tionless, his estate encumbered ; in fact, everything goes
to rack and ruin about him. Instead of performing his
part in sustaining the great fabric of society, as far as
his influence extends, there is one vast dilapidation.
He may be said to crumble and crash in every direc-
tion. Nobody can "say where the money is gone. It
has not benefited friends, assisted dependants, built
churches, fertilised the soil, ornamented the country,
delighted the town, or done anything that a man can
lay his hand upon. It has all been dribbled and fribbled
away on hollow pretences and petty occasions, without
either syi;tem or oiject; it Las won hettLer gratitude,
nor admiration, nor respect.--Many Thoughts oty liffity

THE ATTEMPTED. ASSASSINATION
OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR.

FINAL EXAMINATION OF M. BERNARD
AT BO W-STRE ET.

This afternoon the final examination of Simon Bernard,
who stands charged with being concerned in the late
attempted assassination of the Emperor Napoleon on
the 14th of January last, took place at Bow•street.
The announcement made by Mr. Bodkin at the close
of the examination on Thursday last, that he intended
to state his reason why he should call upon the magis-
trate to commit the prisoner for trial on the capital
charge of murder, accessory before the fact, caused a
;fry large number of persons to assemble outside the
court, and the greatest interest was manifested to learn
the termination of this long inquiry. Notwithstanding
the threat of Mr. Jardine that he would conduct the in-
vestigation with closed doors a limited numberof I he public
were admitted into the body of the court, and at 3 o'clock
the proceedings were commenced in the ordinary
manner.

Sir R. Mayne, Chief Commissioner of Police, who has
attended the whole of the former examinations, occupied
his 'usual seat on the bench.
Mr. Bodkin appeared to conduct the prosecution on
the part of the Treasury, and Mr. Sleigh defended the
prisoner. _ _

The intimation of Mr. Bodkin, which so seriously
affects the prisoner, has had no effect on Bernard. lie
took his place at the bar with his usual coolness and self-
possession. _ _

Joho Rogers, Police-constable—On Tuesday last, I
took possession of s.me papers at the prisoner's lodgings
at Bayswater. I found the litter I now produce.
Mr. Gongs Morrison—l reside at Reigate, I knew
Mr. Thomas Allsop when he resided at Netfield. lam
well acquainted with his handwriting. Tne signature of
the letters put into my hand I believe to be written by
11;m.

Mr. Joseph Taylor—l am an engineer. I reside at
Birmingham. I made the grenade now before me. I
made five others, two the same size and three an inch
larger. I received the order to make the shells from a
person who (Jame to the factory. The day I first saw
the person, was the 16th of October. I had afterwards
a correspondence with him, and I received the four
letters now put into my hand.
These were notes found at the prisoner's lodgings, and
which were proved to be in the handwriting of Mr.
A Ilsop„.

Mr. Sleigh—Before the case proceeds any further I
wish to know whether the prisoner is to be charged with
conspiracy or the attempt to murder.
Mr. Bodkin—The latter.
Mr. Sleigh—Then I object to these letters being re-
ceived as evidence.

Mr. Bodkin—l have connected the priuoner 'imply
with the other persons, and I say the letters must be
received.

Mr. Jardine-4 think the ease ought to go on.
Examination of witness proceeded with—The person
I speak of as ordering me to make the shells produced
a wooden model. The articles were masiractured and
transmitted to theaddreee he nave—Ginger's Hotel, West-
minster. During the time I was engaged on the shell.
I received a letter dated Nov. 17, signed "T. Allsop,"
stating that the shells must be completed and sent to
London by the following Monday morning. Two other
letters bearing the same signatures were also received. I
received a post-offioe order from Allsop in payment of
the account for making the shells. At the time he
gave the order he left one of the nipples
as a model to make the others hy. There were 25 holes
in the model. I had the nipples made. The order was
completed en the 23d Nov. On that day Allsop came to
the at Birmingham and said the nipples were not made
according to order. It was then arranged that he
should have the shells without the nipples but. alter-
wardc he said he would take them and submit them to
the inventor, and if they succeeded I should immediately
be paid for the whole. Mr. Allsop was about 60 years
of age, six feet high, stopped a little, rather stout, spoke
very quick, and appeared a little dull of hearing.
John Gerrard Weich—l am Vice-Consul to the Bel-
gian Government. My office is at 11, Bury-court, St.
Mary-Axe. I recollect a foreigner, on the 26. h No-
vember, making application for a passport for another
person. I told him, according to the regulations, the
party must come himself. In an hour he returned and
showed me a passport. I observed that the signature
of the bearer was not signed to it. I mentioned the cir-
cumstance to him. He wanted to take the passport,
but I detained it, aA told him the party must
come to my office. Ile went away and ret iroed
in ab )ut 10 minutes with another person. This latter
person was between 55 and
strong built. I should say a man about six feet
high. He stooped AS he talked to me. He was a
healthy-looking man with grey hair. He was rather
deaf. He gave the name Tlaontas Allsop. That is the
name in the passport. 60 years of age, ra tier

_ .
Mr. Sleigh here objected to this mode of evidence.
Mr. Jardine—l wiil take care that nothing but what
is strictly evidence shall be received.
Examination proceeded with.—Allsop complained
that he had to come to my officeto sign his pass-
port. My instructions are positive, and
he signed
it. I risC '.l it for Belgium. It was a foreign
office passport and bore date 1851, and the signature of
Lord Palmerston. Toe
Passport had travelled a great
deal, and amongst other places Italy bad been visited.
The man that was with him was about 30 years of age,
and was very pol to as Italians generally are. I had not
Englishman.the least doubt that Allscp was an Englishman.
William Beresford—l am assistant to Mr. Browne,
pawnbroker, 4, Ryder's-court. On the Bth January,
some person took out a coat for 45., and a waistcoat
pledged for ls. sd. The name on the duplicate was
" Ann Rudio." I don't know the person who took the
articles out of pawn.

Beati.ins the writer went on to say that he thought
"the ignominious miscreant of the 2d of December had
reached his culminating point, that the cheeks of
the Queen had been polluted by
being kissed by a eon-
victed felon, and that if he were in California he
won d give ample reward to anyone who wool t kill the
wretched catitl." The letter concluded by saying that
such a state of things as then existed must terminate—
that be must be killed.

in the event of any fresh
'of course the legal advisers

that is the whole of the evidence that will be offered
Mr Bodkin said—l am not new
eq‘viadinenstcethbeeinpgridsoisnceorv,erebdu,t
of the prisoner would be made acquainted with it.
The question that now arises is what offence the pri-
soner has committed• My learned friend complained of
being taken by surprise by the course which is now to
be pursued, but the evidence that has
has been adduced in
this case must have led him to believe that a charge far
beyond conspiracy would be prt.)ferreo gainst the prisoner.
The learned gentleman baying. pointed out several
' important points in the evidence, said I have
clearly, I think, established that the prisoner has
done acts in this country which, undoubtedly, makes
him an accessory before the fact to the crime of tlurder.
The Act of Parliament under which I ask you to send the.
prisoner for trial is the sth. and 9th George Iv., cap. 31,
sec. 7. To bring the prisoner within the provisions of
it it is not absolutely necessary that the party murdered
should be a Queen's subject—that, Was clearly settled by
the decision come to in Ass )pardi a case. There it was
unanimos:ly decided that such was not necessary.
The learned gentleman having referred to the law
autnori.ies on the point, said I d aft want to
prejudice the case of the prisoner, but I think I have
shown in the clearest manner that the prisoner procured
and conveyed to a foreign country the materials which
ultimately were used in perpetrating the revolting crime
of murder . and I therefore ask you, sir, to commit
this person for trial on the capital charge.
Mr Sleigh contended that, according to the facts ad-
duced, the prisoner
• had not been made amenable for
such a crime, and that the la w of England did not meet
:he case before the Court. The prisoner was arrested on a
cuerge of conspiracy a month ago, and from time to time
105:v..red that charge unti', aithin 48 flours, the Gov-'e
iier,t turned round and charged him with an offenc,
which endangered his life. Mien that statement s‘_,s
wade he was completely taken by surprise, and law did
