the sacred functions of the press and ought to be,
at least in some degree, examples Of external
decency. Nothing, however,. can be imagined
more disgusting than the exhibition Of vulgar de-
pravity and RIGHTEOUSNESS, uncontrolled by the
these proceedings, and of which the very court
of Justice itself Became the scene. There is no
evil without its concomitant good, and it may be
hoped that the odous travestie OF the practice OF
duelling presented on this occasion, at once SO
ridiculous, vulgar, and so atrociously horrible,
cannot fail to make every one, who has any sense
Of his own dignity, slow to identify himself with
such parties.
In the early part of last year, a party of Jour.
nalists or contributors to the Paris newspapers,
met, by invitation, an equal number of females
of loose character, taken from the refuse Of the
coulisses OF the Boulevard theatres, at din

and knew not what il was he was called on to give
satisfaction for. All he knew was that he must
submit TO be shot at or run through the body by
one OF the most prnctced marksmen and expert
swordsmcn in France. Yielding to the social
necessity imposed on him by the barbarous code
which is acknowledged by the class TO which it
was his misfortune to belong, he sat down, wrote
his will, solemnly recorded his ignorance Of the
cause OF his intended murder, went out to the
Bots de Boulogne, and in the first fire was shot
through the head

On Tuesday, Mr.. Seorr of Fauquer addressed the
House for about hour against the principles Of the SUBJ

should go hand in hand. Mr. SCOTS speech abounded in
