ADVERTISEMENT. J I—THE RAJAH OF TRAVANCORE AND HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.—On the llth of July, 1846, Professor Holloway was honoured with an order for six of the largest pots 01 Holloway's Ointment, from no less a person than his Royal Higinie-_s the Rajah, or reigning sovereign of Travancore, through the eminent firm of Mestrs. J. Cockburn and Co., East India merchants, No.ll. New Broad-street, London. The ointment, it appears, is for the personal use of the Rajah, and will be employed under the superintendence of his private physician. Holloway's ointment is sold all over India, being a certai u cure or ulcers, wounds, st res, and abscesses. even if of twenty years' standing, and nifty be obtained of the Proprietor, 244, Strand, London, and of every medicine Tendon  The case for the prosecution here closed, and the examination of witnesses for the defence began. J. Chartron, aged 45, an ironmonger, had been on terms of intimacy with the prisoner; considered him as a person of a most mild and inoffensive character. L. Sanguinade, aged 52, a merchant, had become acquainted with Henri from his being in the National Guard. Considered him a man of probity, but with rather a weak head.  F. Destibaux. aged 47, a banker, had seen the prisoner several times. Two months since he had come to him to ask for money, and as witness could not acquiesce in his demand, the prisoner complained bitterly. His words and ideas appeared to be somewhat incoherent, and had given witness reason to suppose that his reason was a little distm bed. S. Fontaine, aged 62, formerly engaged in the steel trade, said that the prisoner had once worked with him in his business. He was then a very industrious man, attended to nothing but his work, and conducted himself well. F. I.e.,grand, aged 38, a vinegar merchant, also deposed to the morality of the prisoner, but knew nothing of his private habits. L. Dediot, aged 37, had been on terms of intimacy with Henri ; considered him a man of great susceptibility of feelings, and having a great deal of originality in his character. He thought or said nothing from the influence of any other person. His theories were perfectly his own. Setting aside this peculiarity he' thoneht he possessed every quality in which honour and confidence might support themselves. He thought that all his misfortunes had been caused by dreadful machinations against him. lie considered the prisoner would rather commit suicide than become a bankrupt, but he at the same time knew that he never would have the courage to do so, for he was in fact a pusillanimous being. Witness thought that he never had any serious idea of killing the King, and if be might be permitted to express his opini3n, he would add that he did not believe that the pistols were loaded. Ace.' ding to the prisoner's known character, and to use an expression which he was fond of, he would have said to himself, " Lyingalone triumphs on the earth, let us then lie in order to die." His act could not be understood in any other light by any one who knew the prisoner as well as he (witness) did. The prisoner—l summoned witnesses in order that they might point out the person who has caused all my misfortunes, but those witnesses have said nothing. I must therefore do it myself. The person I allude to is Caroline Bacquet. She promised to lend me 25,000 k, hut she did not give them to me. I signed a bill for a smaller sum, and payment of it was demanded at a time when I could not .pay it without compromising my credit. When I wanted 6,000 f. only 3,0001. were given me; and the calculation of that woman was, " When he can no longer hold out, his house will be sold, and nis protector, who gave him funds, will pass it to me." You ask me if I had any accomplices? I had no other besides that woman. It was she who drove me to despair, and despair has led to what you are aware of. S. James, aged 28, hairdresser, knew the prisoner. Had never remarked anything extraordinary in him. Was not aware that he ever meddled with politics. E. Perigaux, aged 28, steelworker, had worked for four years for the prisoner. He was constantly employed in devising means tier improving the condition of workmen. Had heard him sometimes complain of the conduct  of Caroline Bacquet. A. Chatemond, aged 33, clerk, had know the prisoner; he was a weak man, and incapable of managing his house. Witness expressed his conviction that the pistols were not loaded. The prisoner here observed that some of the witnesses had said that both pistols went off at the same time, and others that there were successive reports. His own conviction was that there was but one report. The examination of witnesses being concluded, the Procureur-General was called on for his requisitory, but, as it was then six o'clock, the Learned Gentleman proposed to defer it till the next day, and the Court broke Lp.
