FRENCH PAPERS.

COURT OF PEERS.—SITTING OF MONDAY, DEC. 13.
TRIAL OF THE STATE PRISONERS.
At 1 o'clock the proceedings in this case were resumed.
The prisoners of the category of St. Etienne were lei
into Court in the usual order. _ . .

As soon as the registrar bad made the rappel nominal,
The President directed the evidence in support of the
prosecution to be continued. These depositions went chiefly
to prove the series of facts already published.
A Colonel of the National Guards of St. Etienne stated
that he had seen the prisoner Caussidiere during the insur-
rection at that place. The prisoner had been thrown down,
and whilst on the ground, a poniard fell from inside his
cat. He picked it up and retired. Witness identified
the pojard, and subsequently it had marks of .mud on it,
czance of blood. The police-officer Evraud had
bbeuetnno PasasaPssinated one or two minutes before, but witness
did not see the act committed. Cassidiere was pursued by
three police officers, but on brandishing his dazger, and
threatening to kill the first man who approached, they re-
tired. The prisoner was ultimately secured.
At the request of Caussidiere, the Registrar read the
depositions of the witness Meredzy, who had stated that
be had seen a tall young man, dressed in a grey frock coat,
strike Eyraud in the back, and then run away in the direc-
tion of the Hotel de Ville. He was positive that Caussi-
diere was not the person who struck the blow.
At a quarter to three the Court adjourned for a short
interval, but bad not returned when our reporter left.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 13.—A letter from Valenciennes of the
12th December says—" The Members of the Chamber of
Comiwrce of this city have met several times to examine
tLe sel:n.al plans for the iron railroad, and to give their
opinions re.quf.cting the execution of them as connected
v
of the arrondissements. In their last
meeting
at the Town Hall, at which the Mayor
I ith e
yesterday intet s.
was present, they dr,.'w up a series of resolutions to the
effect-1. To prefer the direction by St. Quentin
to that by Amiens. 2. To have the line of Valen-
ciennes considered not as a branch, but as the prin-
cipal line, which should join with that from Brus-
sels to the frontiers of Hainault, &c. These opinions
are founded on the propriety of connecting the two capitals
by the shortest road, of joining a Belgian road, the execu-
tion of which is fixed by a law, and of making the rail-road
pass the most populous and manufacturing part of the
country ; and, lastly, to approach as near as possible to the
numerous mines in the arrondissement of Avesmes, the ir-
regular surface of which will, perhaps, never permit the
n:aking of rail-roads there, but which may profit by the
line :iassing through Valenciennes, on account of its prox-

imity.
letter fet,?n
Muni2ll, of Dec. 7, says that private let-
ters, from Anco.la, announced that the King of Bavaria
embarked there on the 3d for Greece, and that his Ma-
jesty was in good heaitti,
In the Chamber of I{,Vresentatives yesterday, the order
of the day was the discus:ton of the Project of Law
.for
equalising the land-tax, in corArmity with the new survey
(Cadastre) of the kingdom.
M. Fallon would not contend that several provinces
had long suffered injustice, by being r.:•ted far beyond their
due proportion, ..or did he desire to richly the redress of
the burdensome irregularities by which the had suffered :
but he wished that they might not go too far, and while
they removed the burden unjustly imposed on some, lay too
heavy a one on others ; he said that the new survey was
very defective in many particulars ; he read several peti-
tions, complaining of these irregularities ; and concluded by
moving. that the law should be adopted only as a temporary
measure, till the irregularities and errors complained of
should have been enquired into and corrected.
The Minister of Finat;ce replied to some of M. Fallon's
objections. He thought it would be most inconvenient to
pass the law as . temporary measure, and though both
modes were liable to -objections, ,hat of adopting the law
definitively seemed to be the best.—Adjourned till the
14th.—Brussels Papers, Dec: 14.
NUIIEMBERG, DEC. 7.—ln the morning.., at nine o'clock,
the iron railroad was opened in the manne,- named in the
programme. M. Binder, the Chief Burr°oni„.'ster, opened
the ceremony with an address, chile the band ,of the Re-
giment of Landwehr played the national hymn. The.mo-
numental stone was uncovered, which has on one side the
cypher of the King, with the inscription, " Germany's first
iron railroad with steam power, 1833 (I)eutschland's erstc
Ersenbahn mit Dampfrkraft, 1833)." On the other side
are the united arms of the two towns, with the inscription,
i',Turemberg and Furth." After a short pause, the steam
carriage;. (with nine carriages for passengers attached to it,
all decorated with the national colours) set out for Furth,
while countle.7B multitudes of spectators were assembled
along the road. The carriages travelled the road three
times, and were alwi.:ys filled with passengers. To-morrow
the carriages will begin to ply regularly. It is intended to
employ both horses and the steam engine, to draw the car-
riages on the road. The passage will take 15 minutes when
the steam engine is used, and 25 ncoutes with horses.

On Saturday afternoon, between three and four
o'clock, the following deplo.'able and melancholy accident
occurred in Pc-tob-ello Fields, near Acton, to Augustus
Fareham, a young gentleman resing in Baker-street, Port-
man-square. It appears that the -!tnfortamate youth, in
company with another, proceeded froJ' his father's resi-
dence, for the purpose of amusing themse:ves with a day's
Sport—Shooting. His friend's clog discovered a rabbit in
a hedge ; his friend immediately advanced Zo it, and tired
through the hedge, melancholy to rclatc. Mr. Fare-
ham was in a line with the hedge, on the opposite side of
the field, unknown to him, who was wounded ; he ex-
claimed " Oh, my God, I am shot !" His friend ?...tsbed
through the hedge to his assistance, when he discor;red
him lying bleeding copiously from his right leg and kne
pan, the whole of the contents having entered them. A
man, who was in the field a short distance off, came aild
assisted in bandaging the wounds up, and afterwards pro-
cured a conveyance, in winch he was removed to his father's
residen'oe. Surgical assistance was promptly procured, but
such are the exteet. of thelnietries he received, it is feared
that amputation must be performed.

lance of the police, both public and secret, there have for
some. time bean circulated. in Poland many pamphlett,
edited in Paris, exhorting the people to maintain their
