The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1858-05-06

iohS uisputeS between the TWO countries would
have been gratifying to the selfesteem of the
french government, so severely wounded by the
events OF the last three months; and we may say,
without arrogance or assumption, that the specta-
Gle OF an English court passing sentence an ac-
complice of Orsini would have given a moral
strength to the imperial throne. That the political
ana national instincts of the jury had something to
do with the decision it would be aectation to de-
ny; put we think that their verdict only what
was to have been expected in any similar case. All
the circumstances of the trial show how much DO
htical feeling has been mixed up with the question
which the jury had to try.
"The experience of Mr.. Edwin James induced him
to turn his defence of the prisoner into a TRADE
against the Empire, its chief and its principles, and
the conclusion of this harangue received with
cheering and capping of hands. The result of all
these influences was, that the jury took advantage
OF slight defect in evidence to return verdict con-
sonant with their political feelings, and to express
tner dislike of the very principle of the prosecu-
tlon' On their Judgment not called to pro-
hounce an opinion; we only think that it to be
expected and that any further proceedings against
the prisoner may as well be abandoned. Napoleon
the III may remember that his companions, Vaudry
ana llalty, were acquitted in 1886, though seized
with arms in their hands; the verdict of the Old
Bailey jury is, therefore, not without precedent
even In his own history"
The Times remarks that DR.. Simon Bernard, not
wlthstandng his acquttal on Saturday, remains a
prisoner IN Newgate, under the indictments for
msdemeanor. Dr. Bernard visited during the
day in Newgate by his Solicitors, and to-day the
THE LEvIATHAN.
An extraordinary meeting of the Great Eastern
Steam Navigation Company was held on Saturday
Inc report stated that the directors since the last
meeting OF the shareholders had devoted considera-
Die time in procuring information, and in obtaining
speclhcatIons estimates and tenders to complete
the works on board the Company's great steam
snip LeVlathan, so as to enable her to proceed to
sea.
To effect this, further outlay of fI72 900 was ne
cessary, which sum, added to the present liabilities
OF the company amounted to ell 2S2 to meet which
the directors proposed to issue debenture preference
shares to that sum, on such terms were most ex-
pedlent. The total cost of the ship would be fS04-
522 or at the rate of f34 per ton taking the ship
at the builders measurement "a, 900 tons. The di-
ectors regretted that they were unable to complete
her equipments before the ensuing autumn, when it
was intended to make several preliminary VOYAGES
TO America for the purpose of testing the ships ca
pabhtles, and In the spring to commence her voya-
ges to India and Australia.
FRANCE
The Herdlds correspondent saws: fHThe news of
Bernards acquittal has produced here (Paris)
1eeHng amounting almost to CONSERVATION The
evening papers abstain from commenting on the
verdict put the impression on the general public is,
that 1T may lead to further complications between
England and France. How far that impression has
any toundaton it is unnecessary to inquire at pres
ent. hope prevails, however, that the result of
the trial will lead to a conspiracy to murder bill
being brought in and great anxiety exists as to the
course the French government intends to adopt.
