REIGN.  The trial of the editors of the National and the Gazette de France, accused of attacking the rights of the King, and of exciting hatred and contempt against the Government, in an article published by the former on the 20th September last, and repeated by the latter, was brought on Tuesday before the Court of Assizes. The two cases had been united in one indictment ; but it being proved to the Court that M. Delaroche, of the National, was from illness unable to appear, the Court put off his. trial to another session, and ordered that of the Gazette de France to proceed forthwith. Upon this, M. Foueauld, the editor of the Gazette, determined to make default. and withdrew. In his absence, M. Thorig-ny called for judgment. The Court sentenced M. Fouvuld to a year's imprisonment, and a fine of 4,000 E This is the first fruit of:M. Dupoty's conviction by the Peers orra charge of constructive treason. Verily Louis Philippe cannot too soon make out the Precureur-General's patent of nubility. He is already qualified for a seat .in the French State Hospital of Incurables. The French Newfoundland cod fishery for 1841 has been much less successful than that of 1840, which was by no means remarkable for its produce. From the port of Granville 56 ships with crews, amounting to 952 men, went out to the Great Bank. The aggregate amount of the take in 1840 was 4,030,782 fish ; but last year it was no more than 2,801,000 fish, weighing 7,000,500 kilogrammes, valued at 1,715,961 E, from which being deducted one-fourth as the crews' share, there remained for the owners 1,211,971 francs. The cost of fitting out the ships for the fishery was 1,568,000 E ; consequently there was an aggregatea!oss of 356,028 E, or 6,357 f. for each ship. A letter from Alencon, chief town of the Orne, enumerates the following series of deplorable events which have happened there within the last three weeks : —On the 20th ult., a maiden lady, aged fifty, threw herself, in a fit of insanity, into a well, and was drowned. —On the 25th, three men made a brutal attempt upon a young woman, but were defeated by the assistance brought to her by her cries.-,--On the 31st, a lady was wounded, but not dangerously, by her son-in-law, because she protected her daughter, who had fled to her to escape his brutal treatment. The infuriated man, to avoid the punishment due to his attempt, committed suicide in the night.—On the 2d inst., a countryman was robbed on the Champ de Foire, and so severely beaten, that he remained senseless on the gronnd for several hours, but at last revived.—On the sth, a captain on the retired list,. enjoying an adequate income, and much respected by all who knew him, got np early in the morning, went to the principal entrance of the cemetery, and there shot himself.—And, on the 6th, Lecomte, a man condemned to death for the murder of his wife, was executed. On the interrogation of Mallet, the accomplice of Quenisset, by the Chancellor, Baron Pasquier, the Gazette de France remarks—" This name of Mallet must have brought to the recollection of the former Prefect of Police of the empire one of the most striking episodes of his life. Another Mallet committed M. Pasquier to prison, and a cobbler, on seeing him pass by with the Duke de Revigo to the Conciergerie, cried out--' Good ! good ! the Imperial shop is broken up !!' M. Pasquier has had his revenge ; he signed the lists of proscription in 1815, and is now interrogating another Mallet, a conspirator." Madrid letters of the 4th say that M. Salvandy had made every preparation for commencing his return on the sth. The Finance Minister had read to the Deputies his budget for 1842. He states the deficit at 180,000,000 of reels. The revenue is from 7 to 800,000,000 of reals, of which the War-office absorbs 600,000,000. " The Pope," says the Diario di Roma, "has appointed Cardinal Patrizzi to be his Vicar-General for the city and diocese of Rome, in the room of the late Cardinal Della Porta Rodiana. His nomination must be gratifying to the Roman nobility, as his eminence is a Roman Prince by birth." There are very few local appointments made by the Sovereign Pontiffs, which ought to gratify the pride of the Italians. They share among them, and have done so for a thousand years, all the richest offices of the Romish Church.
