TII E SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 29, 1861.

Bigamy appears to have been a pastime alike
of the BOURBONS and of the BONAPARTES. In
proof of which very *edifying historic fact, there
is that great trial which has recently been occu-
pying the attention of all Paris ! Never has
there been a more shameful exposure—the whole
investigation having gone clearly to demonstrate
beyond the reach of contradiction the bastardy of
their Imperial Highnesses the Prince NAPOLEON
and his sister, the Princess MATHILDA DE
DIMIDOFF ! And while the illegitimacy of those
first cousins of the reigning Emperor of France
has been proved thus clearly, as we have inti-
mated, to demonstration, the counsel for the de-
fendant—that is to say, M. ALLOU, the chosen
advocate of the Prince NAPOLEON—has in the
course of his elaborate address in support of the
claims of his client, as opposed to those of the
plaintiff, M. BONAPARTE, of Baltimore, in the dis-
United States—M. ALLOU quite incidentally in the
course of his reply to the opening speech of M.
BERRYER, has proved quite as clearly to demon-
stration the bastardy of the representative of the
ancient dynasty, the illegitimacy of the BOURBON
Pretender, the Count de Chambord, HENRI CINQ,
claiming to be Roi de France with its 36,000,000
Frenchmen !

It is exemplary all this. It is calculated so ob-
viously to raise in the public estimation both
Royalty and Imperialism. Surely nothing, in
sober seriousness, could well come more inoppor-
tunely for either. What is it OTHELLO says to
JAG() in that great tragedy ?—" Be sure you
prove"—
anyone who lists may finish the quota-
tion. But here, it is on the one hand a Prince of
the House of BONAPARTE, and on the other a Prince
of the House of BOURBON, who each in turn being
put upon the defensive, is driven to exclaim defiantly
precisely the same thing—
each of them not in re-
gard to his wife, but in regard to his mother. In
each instance the fact is stated—it is upon record.
There is the prior marriage of the Father of Prince
NAPOLEON, the prior marriage of they oungest of
the Great NAPOLEON'S brothers, the prior marriage
of the late ex-King JEROME, to—Miss PATERSON.
As a companion picture to which [illustrative of "ye
manners and ye customs" alike of Royal and Im-
perial dynasties], there is the prior marriage of the
Father of the Count DE CHAMBORD, the prior
marriage of the father of the living claimant to the
crown of France as King HENRY V., the prior
marriage of the late Duke DE BERRI, to—Miss
BROWN. The marriage of JEROME BONAPARTE when
Ensign de Vaissaux, to the beautiful Miss PATER-
SON, of Baltimore, has for years and years past, in
fact ever since it was infamously set aside by the
arbitrary will of NAPOLEON 1., been matter of
European notoriety. Not so has it been with
reference to the marriage of the Duke de BERRI
with his first wife, a certain charming Mi6sßßowN,
of England. Yet that, too, when facts and dates
come to be examined a little more closely, turns
out to have been an event equally undeniable. The
particulars in regard to the first mentioned of these
two precipitate marriages we have already and
but very recently given in detail in the columns
of ne Sun—so that a recapitulation of the facts
here might run the hazard of proving as tedious as
