The Trial of Prince Bonaparte.

ne lTidi OF fT1nce bOudpaTles
In the trial of Prince Bonaparte to- day the
first witness examined was NJ. Villere, who
came into court between two gems d'armes.
He said the letter sent by Prince Bonaparte
was not a provocation but an insult. Being
asked why he wore arms he replied that he
lived in II district outside of the city. and go
ing home late at night was obliged to carry
arms for self protection. He incidentally
blamed the government for its delay in the
arrest ofthe Prince after shooting, whereupon
he was reprmanded by the President of the
court. The Prince arose excitedly and de-
clared that Where and Grousset had both
sworn that they would yet shoot him. This
the witness denied The audience seemed
inclined to hiss the Prince. The Procurer
General insisted that witness be removed to
prison, and the lawyers for prosecution de-
manded that he should remain and give the
remainder of his testimony. Several servants
of the accused and some OF his personal
friends were examined, the latter damaging
the defence by displaying too much zeal
Paul De Carsaynaic was next examined and
was insulting in manner towards the lawyers
for prosecution. All the witnesses for de-
fence testified that they noticed contuss sion
on his check after the affray, but the physi-
clan who called in at the time 10 examine the
PRINCES face swore he saw no signs of con-
tusslOn.
He WAS Immediately confronted by other
witnesses, tut repeated his statements. The
audience was much excited by the contradic-
ton. The defence attempted to prove shat
the Prince did not shoot until Fonvlllc had
drawn his pistol, and that he also had been
against the lft OF the Prince before the fatal
affair, hut the evidence failed to sustain either
allegation. 1t is expected that Rochefort will
be examined tomorrow

held meeting on Monday evening for work,
at which there was large attendance, not
only of members of the lodge, but visiting
members from Augusta lodge, Winthrop, and
several members of the Legislature, who had
accepted an invitation to be present. The
spacious lodge room was well filled at tile
opening. The special work in hand was
complishrd without dseord or jar, which
speaks well for the proficiency attained by the
officers. The details must forever remain as
a sealed book; but when the work of the eve
ming was finished. what followed was ot pub
lie character, and the person who would keep
il secret must have very poor appetite and
lille relish for social and intellectual enjoy
ment. supper was furnished at the Cony

ard more than one hundred members of 4 c
gentle brotherhood sat at the board. The
supper was prepared bv the Cony Brothers,
and furnished at a liberal discount from usual
rates. 1t was gotten up in style that clearly
demonstrated that the proprirtors OF this new
and popular public house know how to keep
a hotel" The tables were spread with great
taste and libcrality. Ample justice was done
to the good things with which they were la

brethren had been well attended to, the ". NJ.
