BALTIMORE.
TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1853.

John Bull refuses TO knucke down to Johnny
Crapaud. Because certain Italian scoundrels have
been guilty of dabolica attempt to assassinate the
French Emperor, John does not see why he should
be made to eat humble pie-go down upon his
knees in the dirt and tacitly admit his completely
in the crime by promising to prevent and punish
its repetition. Because 'the French police is the
very worst in Europe" as the Emperor informed
the project the morning after the attempt upon his
life John does not see why he should be called
upon to supply its deficiencies, by becoming HIM
self police-agent for his Imperial ally. Because
the life of the Emperor is unquestionablv in dan
ger, John does not see why he should be asked TO
insure it against all risk and peril of assassination.
He altogether declines the transaction Perhaps
he considers the 'risk' doubtful one: perhaps.
he thinks ii none of his business. One THING is
cerain-the Commons of England have fatty and
unequivocally declined to make the concession pro-
posed by Lord PAIMERsToN to the demands of the
French Government
On the night before the steamer sailed upon a
division Of the House on an amendment to the
Conspiracy Bill, offered by Mr.. MINER GIBSON,
censuring the Government for not making a suita-
BILE reply to Count WALEwsKIs despatch of the
30th January, the ministry sustained a mortifying
defeat being left in minority of 49, We else
where publish account of the debate and n
statement of the vote. Lord PALMERsToN has fallen
between two stools. In trying to serve two mas
tiers, the people of England and the Emperor of the
French, he has managed to please neither. The
proposition to modify the criminal law Of England
out of Difference to the wishes of foreign despot
has not proven an acceptable one to the people
and has seriously damaged the ministry in public
estimation. A demonstration was to have been
held in Hyde Park on Sunday, the day after the
sailing of the steamer, to give expression to popu-
lar feeling upon the subject, and many similar
meetings had already been held in different parts
OF England. The defeat of the Conspiracy Bill on
the other hand is not likely to allay excitement in
France, where the asylum afforded by England to
political refugees is regarded, particularly since
the recent attempt of 0RsNI and his accomplices
with mingled Indignation and alarm Some in
teresting speculatons suggested by this action
Of the House of Commons What will NAPOLEON
do? VIII Lord PALMERsToN resign2 What will
be the effect upon the relations of the two goy-
ernments? What will be the effoct upon the
relations of parties in England. At the sailing
OF the steamer it was still undetermined whether
or not the ministry would resign, but the proba-
bilities were that they would continue to hold
office, at all events until after the fate of the India
bill had been decided.

| A LITERARY IMPosTuRE.-A Mr.. Trenery (author
OF work called Leila Ada" described BY its wri
ter as religious biography used for the conversion
of the Jews!) has been brought before an Ipswich
Court, on charge which illustrates the condition
OF the religious literary market. Mr.. Trenery, it
would seem, not content with converting Jews as
pires to convert the arisocracy He therefore COM
poses "The Christian Lady; or Religion in High
Life; Memoir for the Upper Classes" which biog-
faphy purpoFts to be general and authentic life of
Miss Augusta Howard, who became Lady C. by
marriage, 1853, and died in 1855. The manuscript
is sent to publisher at Ipswich, (where, of course
West-End people are best known accompanied by
letter from the author, offering the copyright
for f120. Mr.. Trenery, however, proceeds like an
artist. gentleman anxious to convert the upper
classes must not appear mercenary. He asks for
money, but only that he may "give the profits to
her ladyship's poor"
business in converting aristocrats but with one
eye fixed on earth, as well as one fixed on heaven
ne offers to purchase the copyrightfor $50 Doubts,
however, strike him after his money is paid He is
surprised to find lady in the text called Augustus
but Mr. Trenery quiets him with an assurance 'that
the sister of the Duke of Cambridge, was named
Augustus Caroline Charlotte Elizabeth" A stron-
ger ground for doubt occurs. 1t had been sugges-
ted by the plaintiff, that portrait of Lady c., and
vgnette OF her country house, should be prefxed
to the work. Mr.. Srenery, exquisitely accom-
modating, sends him two engraved portraits, one
of which has underwritten "The Countess of
Harriet Hamilton. The former of these was, he
said, to be altered in several particulars it had
been badly copied from the original painting, and
the dress was to be made like that of the accompa-
nying portrait. But the Ipswich publisher recog-
nizes the pretended portrait of Lady C. as one of
the beauties of the Court Album. He then, for the
first time, enquiries among the Howards-but can
get no information of Miss Howard, afterw ard
Lady G. Hence, his appeal to a court of Justice
Mr.. Trenery asserted in Court that the MS. was
"the genuine biography of real person." whom
he knew "pretty WELL" He would not tell the real
names. The husband was not peer, but the son
of peer. The Court asked Mr.. Trenery to write
the real name on piece of paper, and no one else
should see; but this he refused He stated that he
had letters with him from the British Society for
"Leila Ada" That book was used to convert the
Jews; and he hoped to make the memoirs of Lady
G. equally useful to the peerage. The memoir in
question he thought was worth 1850, but he would
not pay $50 and take MS. back because he preferr-
ed to clear his character. The magistrate exercis-
ing his own discretion, condemned Mr.. Tyspery to
pay back the ESQ, together with costs.-London
