Tito S;ste Trial against DR.. Bernard will come TO
81 end day, perhaps Tomorrow in the morning,
ssd ytg will perhaps learn IT. result by telegraph.
Lord CanpbelHs recommendation 10 the press ia
general, 10: TO comment upon the proceedings dur
ing the trial. having been generally respected, no.
body oct Of England can sufficiently realize the
deep impression il makes on the public; the only
oatwsrd sign Of the importance which is generally
attributed to the issue, may be- found in the fact
that capital continues to be unemployed, and that
there IL general absence OF business in Government
stocks The English public is fully satisfied that
shouId the Jury find DR.. Bernard not guilty, or
should the fifteen Judges declare that his case ID
not within the scope of the act Of 9th George w.,
ike mission of the Duke Of Maakoff will az ONE
assume Hostile characters AMI, sccOrdn gly, 10
Parliament we already hear Of coast defenses, and
Of the reinforcement Of the Channel fleet. The sud
den augmentation of the French naval forces tells
strongly enough upon the common sense of England,
and nobody can now BIZ deluded by sentimental
tirades abOut the faithful ally. Public sympathy
goes for Bernard; no. as if anybody can doubt
chat the most ultimate friend of Orslnl was
privy 10 bic daring scheme but everybody
II shocked at the Partially of Lord Campbell
and OF the Government, who wish to make
Bernard the scapegoat, and went so far even
~ to try to get packed Jury though i'll this at
tempt they bailed by the er-Sherii. Be-
sides Louis BonapaIte has lost HE prestige in the
eyes Of England. The papers, with the single ex
oepton of The Morning Post, continually aIude to
the criminal manner in which he obtained supreme
power and to the present degradation Of France;
and therefore, balancing the guilt of the Emperor
Il &C pannla find Darnarl the hpffar
man of the two. The defense has been admirably
conducted by Mr.. James, who has reused the feel
mgs of the Jury by showing them the un-EDgllsh,
despotc way in which the proceedings have been
conducted, charging the prisoner first with con-
spiracy and misdemeanor, and then changing the IS
sue and trying him for completely IN murder. The
evidence which clearly establishes that the French
system of police spies has been adopted by Sir X.
AayDe for the benefit of the French Emperor, and
the fact that detectives sent to public meetings
10 order 10 take notes and to denOlnce the persons
present, cannot fail TO make deep impression on
the public. Ii IL, therefore, entirely Impossible 10
cav whether the Jury will be able to come to Il
unanimous verdict The Government, on the other
hand, are prepared to send DR.. Bernard TO the gall
lows, should the Jury find HIM guilty.
The excitement about India has already passed
away. The capture of Lucknow implies the COM
pIete conquest of Oude; and though the SepOy army
10 still strong enough 10 do much mischief, the
double defeat at Delhi and at Lucknow must have
broken their spirit Still, the complete pacifica
hon of the country will require some months,
e not years. Nena Sahib and his brother, the. Ra-
ab of Barey, and several mOuntalneer chiefs in
The Mabratta country, can for n considerable time
give annoyance to the English forces, and the final
dispersion of the SepOys will cover the country with
yaDgs Of awless marauders. STILL as ultimate sue
ress is certain, the public does not care much for
he details. Not even the fate of the two rival
India bills excites any deep interest, Lord John
Rnsse friendly suggestions TO the Government hav-
bs removed the question from the pale OF party con-
lest the debate will therefore go smoothly since
i has now no other object than the good admlnstra
bon of hundred millions of HindOos. In fact, it
viii be regular bore, for the active politicians dis
like all those measures which do not involve party
contest and possible overthrow of Government 1t
10 scarcely probable that the bill will pass this year.
The East India Company will thus get II respite,
European politics come 10 not ell
firely unexpected criss-perhaps even new lease
Of power. Al to the Chinese difficulties, nobody
can predict their end The Anglo French Commits
soners have no intention keeping Canton; but if
the Chinese Emperor should refuse to comply with
their demands, they would be- forced IL guard the
town, and should it be attacked from without TO
take all the province.
IL seems that the intentions OF the Gar to eman-
cipate the serfs meet with Little sympathy among
the arstOcracy and that the committees of the No
bility for deyisng the measures preparatory to
emancipation, will in many cases become the means
Of delaying the measure; but the Gar is as yet too
strongly impressed with the importance Of his pur-
pose, and seems not 10 be prepared TO yield to the
sefishness OF the slaveholders He has plan of hs
own to buy up and TO liberate the scrfs of those

1he Turkish questions are now in abeyance, but
may be taken up at any moment. 1t is principally
The jealousy OF Austria and Prussia against France
which retards the meeting Of the final Paris con.

should be always turned 10 France as To- the only
place where diplomatic difficulties can be arranged.
England also now cares very little about the Dan
