CLERKENWELL.—Sir Jas. APlCenzie, Bart., now staying at the Great Northern Hotel, King'scross, and who appeared to be suffering from an attack of delirium tremens, was placed at the bar Wore Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with violently assaulting Louisa Fane, residing in Cirencester-place, Portland-road, at the Great Northern Railway Station, King's-cross. Louisa Fane said—l am a " gay woman," and reside in Cirencester-place, Portland-road. Last night the defendant called at my lodgings, and afterwards asked me to go with him in a cab to his hotel for the purpose of paying me some money which he owed me. I consented to go with him, and when we got to the Great Northern Railway Hotel he got out first, and when I followed him he struck me with his stick, and followed it up by hitting me a violent blow over the head, which broke his stick. He would have done a deal more had he not been stopped by one of the officers. I have known the defendant about three months. I did not strike him or have any angry words with him while in the cab.  Defendant—Was it last night or the night before that I struck you. Witness—Last night, about 8 o'clock. Defendant (emphatically)—That is a lie. (Laughter.) I believe lam sober, which I must confess is rather remarkable. What is the money owing for ? Complainant—That question I decline to answer. Fussell, No. 12, of the Great Northern Railway police, said—l was on duty in front of the booking office last night, when a cab, containing the defendapt and two females, drove up on the opposite side of the way. The defendant got out of the cab, and was followed by the complainant, when, in the nomst excited manner, he commenced calling out murder," " thieves," "police," &c., and struck the complainant with his stick several times. One of the blows wag of such a violent character, that it broke the stick in half. I then stepped in, and prevented the defendant doing any further violence.  Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the defendant the worse for liquor ?  Witness—Well, I don't know what to say. He appeared very funny, the same as he now does. (Laughter.) Cecily Wilson said—l reside at 22, Cirencesterplace. I am a dressmaker, and make as many dresses as I can. lam not so " unfortunate" as Miss Fane. Last night I was induced by the defendant to go with him in a cab along with Miss Fane to his hotel, when he would pay her 21. that he owed her. As soon as he got out of the crib be struck her several times without provocation, and had it not been for the police, who interfered, he would have injured her very much. The defendant said he was a gentleman, and did not wish to deny the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after suggesting that the defendant should settle the matter with the complainant—a suggestion which he declined to adopt—said the avault was proved, and he should inflict upon him the full penalty of 51., or in default of payment, two calendar months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.  The defendant said he could easily pay that or any other amount, and was removed to the cells, but was afterwards taken away in the van.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1858.  tion. (Hear, hear.) It was moat unfortunate that we had not the means of seeing the unofficial accounts that reached France. Several such had reached him, and the statement showed that these uniappy Africans were not free emigrants, but slaves, sold for the purpose. Were there the ordinary circulation of intelligence in France which prevailed here, there would be the means of correcting these official accounts which carefully avoided the main point at issue— whether force had been used towards these emigrants. (Hear.) There was no gheetion about the law of nations in this case ; there might be a question of salvage. Undoubtedly, in the presence of the French captain, no other person had a right to take possession of the ship, whatever might be the nature of her cargo. ,It was said they were free emigrants; and yet the first thing they did was to rise and murder the crew .Was that the way in which our free emigrants to Canada and Nova Scotia acted? There could be very little doubt whatever that these were slaves taken on board against their will, by force and fraud, and that this was a renewal of the African slave-trade. (Hear.) Earl GREY thought further information was required before they could form an opinion. The case originally stated was not entirely set aside by the communications now read. He should be glad if the French Government could prove that these men were emigrants on board the vessel by their own choice ; but should it turn out that they were slaves, regularly purchased and manacled, they were justified by all the laws of God and man in doing what they did to regain their liberLy. In spite of the contradiction now given there were circumstances of great suspicion in the case ; for not only with rega, d to this vessel, but the whole working of the contract, we had information that under this colour a regular slavetrade was being carried on, and that wars were set on foot for the purpose of procuring slaves. He believed that if they trusted only to fair means, it would be impossible to obtain emigrants, They ought not to receive the first account against the President of Liberia, but should wait to hear his explanation. He believed that the President had condemned the way in which the French contract was being carried out. It was said that the vessel being a French one an English ship bad no right te take possession of her. But, assuming that the rising was a lawful one, the ship was in possession of the Africans, and the English were justified in giving them any assistance which they required. (Hear.) He hop,' that the Government would do justice to our own officers on the coast. Toe story of the French authorities was so full of inconsistencies that it ought not to be received without confirmation.  The Earl of MALMESBURY said a few words in reply, and the subject dropped.

GLADSTONE--.WhO inasmuch as ho has no followers, fights a la HARRY Gow, " for his own hand," will turn that " hand against every man," and assail each in turn, whenever it suits his purpose to do so. Where, then, we repeat, is the majority ? It is nowhere, and it is fortunate for the people that is so. A dictator may be very well during an emergency, when everything must yield to an overpowering necessity, and the nation must submit to one evil, in order to avoid another of still greater magnitude. Should the nation pronounce against Lord DEBBY, merely because he is Lord DERBY, although his measures were all that could be desired, it would confer an absolute dictatorship en Lord PALMERSTON, for at preseit the choice virtually lies between the two, inasmuch as there is no reasonable chance of " the calm JOHNNY who upset the coach" being able either to form a Cabinet or to hold office for a tingle month. Whatever ho was pleased to offer should be accepted " with bated breath and deep hu mility," " the Conspiracy to Murder Bid" should be swallowed, Lord CLARENDON should be reinstated in the Foreignoffice, Sir G. C. LEWIS at the Exchequer, and that talented and well-informed statesman (!) Mr. -VERNON SMITH at the India Board. There is but one way of avoiding such calamities, Vi 4., by giving fair play to every man who may be selected by her MAJESTY, or rather by Parliament—for their choice virtually rests with Parliament—to form an Administration, and to deal with him according to his deserts. In other words, the old party division should be forgotten, and " measures, not men," should be looked to by the chosen representatives of the people. We shall soon know whether this will be the case. If not, it will afford another and a very powerful illustration of the gross ignorance of persons occupying seats in the Legislature, of the real state of public opinion, and of public feeling.  So Lord CLARENDON'S list victim is now free. PARK, AS well as WATT, is out of King BOMBA'S clutches, and will doubtless soon be home. We say advisedly Lord CLARENDON'S victim, for he has been " accessory," as the phrase now is, and though not " before," yet certainly during "the fact." Had Lord ivlaizazssunY instead of Lord CLARENDON been Foreign Minister last July, end Lord DIRUY been his Premier, we believe that both WATT and PARE would Lave been soon out  1 ... ,1.  for imprisonment in a dungeon little better dial' a cesspool. We hope Lord MALMESBURY has not done with the affair yet ; he has still to show, by obtaining a becoming compensation, the contrast between his own and the CLARENDON tactics. It is for him to prove to Europe that the peasaLt and the mechanic of England is in the view of the Peers of England as much an Englishman as any Peer himself ; it is for him to reverse the impression produced by Lord CLARENDON'S complaisance to despots, and to let the whole tribe know that it is at their peril to insult England by persecuting the humblest of her citizens.

FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY.  Lord Cowley had yesterday the honour of an audience of the Emperor to present Viscount Chelsea, secretary to the Embassy ; Mr. Evan B Aillie, attache, and Mrs. Baillie ; and Mr. Ernest Clay, attache. Count Kisseleff also presented to his Majesty M. Basily, Councillor of State and Russian Commissioner in the Danubian Principalities. The directors of the Independance Beige has sent a circular to his subscribers in Frrnce, informing them of its suspension fora mouth by the Minister of the Interior (nut of Belgium, but of France), but that the loss will be compensated by a prolongation of the period for which 'hey subscribed. It was rumoured to-day that the interdict would be removed on the sth, as the Government are, on reflection, heartily ashamed of it. The suspension of the Independance is but a betise de plus. The director of the paper, who came to Paris on the subject, spoke his mind very frankly and boldly in the Ministerial offices to-day. M. Lightennelt, the Envoy Extraordinary arid Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, had the honour of being received yesterday at a private audience by the Emperor, and of placing in his hands a joint letter from his Majesty the King of the Netherland and his Highness the Duke of Nassau, addressed to his Imperial Majesty, together with the insignia of the Order of the Golden Lion of the Nassau house, which his Majesty the King of the Netherlands and his Highness the Duke of Nassau have just founded. Marshals Catrobert and Baraguey d'Hilliera are continuing their tour through their respective military commands. The former has visited in succession.Remirement, Plombieres, Vesoul, Lure, and Belfort. Marshal Baraguey in like manner Bourges, Chateauroux, and L'moges, at all which places both marshals were received with acclamations. The Reutes have remained very firm up to the close. The upward movement has been especially remarkable in the shares of the Credit Mobilier. Large purchases were made for the account, and were expected to be followed by sitnil tr operations for mot:ey. The price, which at the commeucemaut f business was 675, ruse rapidly to 715, arid is at this moment 705 to 710.

NEWCASTLE, N0V."30.-L-The details of a 'serious poaching affair which occurred near the Cheviots on Saturday have reached this town to-day. It occurred upon the estate of Mr. E. I. Collingwood, of Lilburn Tower, near Wooler. It seems that gangs of poachers roam about the hill districts of the northern part of our county, and in consequence the country gentry have to employ a large number of game watchers. A number of watchers were perambulating the estate of Mr. Collingwood and the adjoining estate, behinging to Mr. Cresswell, of Harehope, about 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, when poachers were descried. A watcher named Nixon, in the employ of Mr. Cresswell, saw three of them. He ran after them, and in doing so was joined by some, if not all, of the other watchers, and had nearly overtaken them, and was pursuing closely behind, when the poachers were obspi.ved to look back ; they seemed determined not *to be taken, but each seemed to wish his companion to fire the first shot towards the watchers, until at length one of them did deliberately turn round and fired his gun and shot poor Nixon, who fell, apparently mortally wounded, to the ground. The other watchers first saw to the state of their. companion Nixon, and gave up the chase of the poachers, who had still two guns with them besides that which had been discharged, and who, probably as a matter of prudence, were we; allowed to escape.* Nixon Was carried in a faint and suffering. condition home to his cottage, and several' shots,' about No. 6 re found jo have entered his body about the thighs -arid the lower part of his bowels. He was evidently dangerously wounded, though hopes are now entertaine:of his recovery. When the gang of poachers left him it was about 3 o'clock in the morning, and, though some time was lost in doing so, information of the outrage at an early hour was given to the police office at the village of Eglingham, and thence passed on to Mr. Superintendent Marshall at Alnwick, which is about 10 miles off. Mr. Superintendent Marshall also sent a telegraphic message to Major Browne, chief constable of the county, and the best measures that could be thought of were devised for the purpose of apprehending' the perpetrators of the murderous,. attack. From inquiries of Nixon it appeared pro bable that he would be enabled to identify the man who shot him, and to whom, though it was rather dark, he had been very near. Having obtained the best description they could of the three poachers, seven men, suspected as poachers, and in the houses of some of whom game that morning had actually been found, were taken into custody at Alnwick on suspicion, and conveyed, in charge of Mr. Superintendent Marshall, in an omnibus to where Nixon resided ; but as neither the wounded man nor any of the other watchers could identify any one of them; they were brought back to Alnwick and liberated. The detectives, however, are still engaged in inquiries, with a view to bring the real parties to justice. It seems that one of the other watchers was also hit by the dis•-• charge of a gun, but he is not seriously hurt.
