they found Lieutenant Ligier kissing their daughter . They expressed to M . Ligier their indignation at his conduct , and he withdrew . When the sons came home , the father told them what had occurred , and , after interrogating their sister , they came to a conclusion that theie had been a criminal intimacy between her and M . Ligier , and they resolved to compel him to repair by marriage the dishonour which he had brought on their family . They purchased two pistols , which they loaded with ball , and . going to the lodgings , of Lieutenant Ligier , they called upon him to make reparation , and presented to him a promise of marriage for his signature . LieutenantLigier refused ; and , according to thestatement of the prisoners , which , however , was denied by M . Ligier , who appeared as a witness on the trial , in making this refusal indulged in a sort of boast of having dishonoured istols ball

One struck Lieutenant Lisjier in the hand , the other entered his side , and inflicted so severe a wound that he was confined more than six weeks to his bed . ihinkmg they had killed their victim , the brothers went to the prison to give themselves into custody for murder , but the gaoler refused to receive them without a warrant of commitment . They went away , but did not attempt to escape , and were soon afterwards arrested . All these facts were substantiated by the evidence ; but Lieutenant Ligier declared that no other familiarity than what had been -witnessed by M . Chigot and his wife , had existed between him and the daughter . The jury returned a verdict of not guilty , and the court ordered the acquittal of the prisoners . There was great applause when the verdict was returned , and a crowd assembled and escorted the two brothers to their home in triumph .

Satuhday, November 8. Lambeth Pronounced...
Satuhday , November 8 . Lambeth pronounced for Kossuth yesterday at the Horns Tavern , under the presidence of Mr . W . Williams , M . P . The spirit of the meeting was warlike and aggressive in the highest degree . Mr . Williams said , politicians affirmed that Austria must be sustained to keep up the balance of power : — " He would say , perish the balance of power , if the price was to be the upholding of tyranny . ( Cheers . ) Let all these despotic powers crumble in the dust , and there was no danger but that England would at least be able to protect her own rights and liberties . " ( Loud cheers . )" Mr . F . Doulton , who moved the address , though bitten by Palmerston , has a right notion of the kind of support Hungary requires , but which Palmerston won ' t afford . " Such expressions of opinion must have a powerful effect on our foreign policy , and we had a man at the head of our Foreign-office who would be ready to endorse that opinion . ( Cheers . ) We did not want a European war ; we had suffered too much from one already ; but the time might come when we should have to choose between action and the destruction of the liberties of Europe . ( Hear , hear . ) Two great nations , he had almost said the only free nations of the earth , were now united against despotism , and would resist it , whether it appeared in the person of a crowned emperor , or under the milder presidential sway . ( Cheers . )" Mr . Webber supported Kossuth , " because he represented a great principle . " Mr . Slack attacked Russia , and wound up with a story . " A few days since a foolish bull had butted against a railway trait ) , and was soon smashed to atoms . He believed the two red emperors were in the position of that foolish bull . They were butting their heads against the great train of human events . That train might be guided by Mazzini , or it might be by Kossuth , but it would soon be in motion , and then let the red emperors beware . ( Loud cheers . )" Mr . Rose was very emphatic . He said . " They were told to wait for France ; but his advice to the two ereat Saxon races was , to go on and not wait for France , which seemed as if she never could settle her own affairs . ( Cheers . ) He ( Mr . Hose ) was not for war if it could be helped , but public opinion was of no use in deterring-despots unless it held war in perspective . " The address was carried unanimously , and also an address to the Sultan . A similar meeting , under tho presidence of Mr . James Wyld , M . P ., was held at Islington .
Yesterday, The Examination Of " Bribed "...
Yesterday , the examination of " bribed " voters took j ) l ; icc before the St . Alban ' s Commission . Here are a few . specimens of the Voters of St . Alban ' s , men who come by votes under the rational , intelligent , and common-sensical biick and mortar qualification ! Neptune Smith , a tall , brawny , and black busliybrarded " independent" elector , said he had received £ - ) or £ C > , ho did not exactly know which , " for his services . " The Chief Commissioner : Well , Mr . Smith , what services can you render ? Witness : Fighting , Sir . ( Laityliter . ) 6 b , that ' s it , is it ? Yes , Sir , 1 can do a little in that way . ( Renewed lauyhter . ) 1 am one of those as keeps the peace at election times ; and when there's a row , I goes in amongst ' cm , and says , " Come , my lads , let n . s have a pot of beer , " and I finds that they had sooner fif . ; ht a quart of beer than have a punch or two . (( iratU lauijhter . ) I'm reg'Jarly employed to keep the peace . Kentish , an old man , whopavo his age asaeventy-: iix , said : 1 received £ C > last election from Mr . Kdwardt ) . lie laid it down on my table , and I picked it up . ( Iaukiliter . ) lie did not say it was for my vote ; he only said , " Ob , you look an you did twenty years ago . " ( It ( ' ) ivwed tnuqliter . ) lie did not say it . wan for my vote , but for a Christmas dinner . ( Law / liter . ) 1 voted for Mr . Hell . Francis Brown examined : I received £ /> from Mr . Kdwards a little ; before the last el < ction . It was not for my vote . I sell Hongs , and Mr . Mil wards came to my house to buyuiusic . lie gave inc tlicX-l for the son ^ s . lie did not . say any tiling about my vote . Cannot say what the solids were worth . Think they might have been of tho vulutj of 6 s . or 1 () m ., but . 1 left the payment entiielv to him . ( Jeorge T . iylor , a big , robust , " navvy " -looking man , examined : Mr . Klagg and Mr . Kdwards gave me £ ' 2 F > liet ween them at . the election of 1 B 17 . The Chief Commissioner : what for?— -Witness : To keep nio Mill , m > that I should not bring a third man ditwii— ( liint / ht . cr ) ,- and I bad to go away to fetch a voter , and I went to Hertford for In n , and 1 came back with 7 s .

Sir Robert Kane Delivered An Admirable A...
Sir Robert Kane delivered an admirable addrPB « Monday , on the opening of the third session of tJ ™ Queen ' s College , Cork , of which he is p ?^ * His closing words are remarkably decisive and sat ? , factory . a < * 8-" Recurring to the proper subject of this dav ' s nr ceedings , and by which I was led to those observatin on the necessity for a thorough reform in school edup tion , and in those schools of public endowment thro ? l , " the cooperation of which the University Colleges m effect material improvement in our general educatiW I now beg , in conclusion , to express my sense of thi excellent conduct and conformity to discipline which characterised our students during last session . To th matter the authorities of this college attach the greatest importance . In no way can the calumnies— { hear hear )
— hurled against these colleges be more triumphantly re futed than by the steady diligence and moral conduct of our students . And that refutation has heen abundantly afforded . ( Loud applause . ) Now , for two years have we been subjected to the keen supervision of the inhabitants of this great city—this population , which , althoug h ardent for knowledge , although prizing educational progress as only those can prize it who are themselves participators in its enlightenment , would not yet purchase the proudest wreaths of literary and scientific glory for their sons by danger to moral purity or Christian faith—this population has , since our first opening closely observed our course . And the authorities of this college may honestly take pride in the result . ( Applause . )"
The following strong and emphatic sentences are the opening words of a leader oa the same subject in the Times of this morning : — " The gigantic system of godless education now firml y established in Ireland is bearing fruits which ought to cover with shame its bigoted detractors and opponents , whether Roman Catholic or Protestant . Not merely are the Queen ' s Colleges educating together in feelings of mutual amity and good-will those who a few years ago would have been trained in reciprocal hatred and contempt for each other ' s creeds and persons , but the time-honoured and orthodox routine of certain denominational
establishments seems likely to be materially altered and improved by the standard of excellence thus reluctantly admitted . "
The Corriere Ilaliano Confirms The Repor...
The Corriere Ilaliano confirms the report that the Government of Tuscany is about to entrust the Austrian Ambassadors and Consuls with the affairs hitherto transacted by Tuscan Ministers at foreign Courts . All the Tuscan embassies and consulates are consequently to be suppressed . What a farce is all the talk about " respecting the settlementof 181-5 , ^ " abiding by the pledged "word of our ancestors , ' & c . & c . ! The Treaty of Vienna is the real Charter of Despotism , nnd the spirit which conserves it , whither found in the city of London or the city of Westminster , is the main ally of that unscrupulous absolutism which carried the Cossacks into Hungary , the French to Rome , and the Austrians to Florence . Every journal in Madrid , on the 31 st of October excent the ministerial Ordcn , condemned in u «
strongest terms the arbitrary act of the MinMry in suppressing the evening paper , the Europa . 1 Hey rl b "" y suppose that the measure is but the brguinmK ot a razzia upon the public press . The Nacion concludes _ » very effective article on the subject with the par iuj , words of the gladiator " Caisar , moriiuri tc salutaiu .
