The Trial of Bernard.

The article from the London Times we gave yesterday, shows that we have not overrated the importance of the trial of Bernard and the rather calm extract from the Patric shows the effect which the acquittal has had in France " It is all complete,'' this journal says, land it is all disgusting. Nothing is wauting" As sample of the E. glish estimate of the effect on French puhli" opiriou, the Paris correspondent of the London Herald says" The news pro- duccd here feeling amounting almost to con- sieruatinu;'' and lhe correspondent of the Lon don News says-' It is impossible to describe the s'uprfac,on occasinnel in government cir ccs by the verdict" Other English letters are to the same point.
 In connection with the Perrin affair and the Bernard acqulttal Is to be taken the language just used in parliament on the bject of a navy Sir John Pakngtou (Aprjl l2) said
 "Ito notttjnkH is consistent ,ch our position, 'cih 6nr notioaoldiyaty O. satetu that ,Ue sho,.M haUe no naUai torce ct nH in He chunnel re- member that when my right honorable friend opposite proposed his estimate last year he said there would be no channel squadron, on account of the affairs in China. I allow the pressure of affairs in China at that time was severe, but l venture to think that no government should under any circumstances leave tha channel without squadron. Her mliestv's present government hold it to be their first dutv acih- out any Joss of time ttat can De auojtef, to es- tab'lsh C channel squadron, not only tor Me pro- tect5on of o"r shores, but for the exercise of our officer; and men,
 He aS'' sad that, "with great prudence and ,oh his msnoi saGocity, Me emperorof the French has assembled at I5nlon force Uhich t0iH form squotron of eO0t"tion, and hope before the present summer has passed away that we shall see in our own channel a squadron worthy of England and her naval reputation assembled ttr the same praiseworthy obiect;'' and Sir Charles Napier, said "it absolutely neces- sary that we should have channel squadron" Lord Palmerston also said-
 "We know that tue French goue,nment are taking measures Which, m he course of C uery feec years, ,oH gve to France fleet cf scre,o line of batle ships very nearly tue number a1e shaH haUe at the sanae time. In addition to that we lEow that tte Russtan gorernment ore construct ing as fast as Hey ca torm'dab'e fleet of large lime cf bottie ships It would be the greatest the most extreme imprudence for this country to lay aside all idea of increasing the very in adequate number of screw line of battle ships which we have at the present moment"
 There is great abundance of similar marine talk in Paris as to what the French can do in the naval line and how they can get together force enough to invade England What Eng land thinks of all this is thus briefly expressed by the London News of April 1S:-
 From one or two quarters we hear pulling whispers about the effect this verdict may pro- duce upon the minds of foreign governments. To these there is only one reply: England con- identlv believes that the governments alluded to have sense enough to acquesce in the nevt- able; and if they have not, England does not are.'-Eachnnqe.
