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 there 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 broug ht 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 . LieutenantLigierrefused ; 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
their sister . The brothers then fired their p . One struck Lieutenant Ligier 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 . Thinking 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 .

Saturday , November 15 . "We print the following letter from the Earl of Harrington to Lord Dudley Stuart for two reasons : first , because it appears in the Morning Post ( organ of the Foreign-office ) ; and secondly , because Lord Harrington is the second member only of the aristocracy who has noticed M . Kossuth . The letter is anjapology for not being able to attend at the festival at Birmingham , on Wednesday last : — " Elveston Castle , Derby , November 9 . " My dear Lord Dudley Stuart , —The lawyers are here playing with a tithe suit , in which 1 am a sufferer , shaking their hoary locks at each other and at me .
" This will prevent my attending the meeting at Birmingham to do honour to the illustrious Kossuth , which I deeply regret , because it is the proud duty of a British peer to support the oppressed , and to advocate the liberties of men of all sects , colours , and nations . In so doing he should look far into futurity , and endeavour to avoid all measures which lead to dangerous extremes , for the tyranny of a Czar , backed by his disciplined and brave legions , is not more dreadful than a mob of gamins sporting , under a Robespierre , with liberty and the rights of man inscribed on their red banner . Thus , it generally happens that the tyranny of one leads to the tyranny of many , and a ^ gavates men into democracy . These are not popular sentiments ; but remember that popularity is a disparagement rather than an honour , unless it is founded on truth and reason .
" Had the Emperor of Austria ruled according to the ancient constitution of Hungary , legally reformed by the representatives of the people , as he had sworn to do , he would have been firmly enthroned in the hearts of his subjects . Instead of this , he has made the most loyal and valiant people of Hungary , and the friends of liberty all over the world , his most dire enemies . " It is for these reasons that the people of England , with their great Minister , Lord Palmerston , are devoted to the cause of Hungary and to Kossuth , that mighty spirit of light , who directed the reforms and the victories gained by that renowned people , and who was aa great in defeat and in banishment , as he was when he directed the destinieB of his country , or as he now is in pleading with matchless eloquence , in a foreign tongue , for tlie rights of humanity . —Believe me , ever most sincerely yours , ( Signed ) " IIauicinoton . " P . S . —I have this moment received an invitation
from the committee , to attend the meeting . I pray you to express to them my cordial thanks and courteous excuses . (< II . "

Beaten by only seven , the new French Ministry may be considered really victorious . There is no new fact to add to that significant despatch , by " Submarine Telegraph , " which , is elsewhere . Of course , our readers know that the main support of M . Bonaparte ' s Ministry comes from the Left . Emile de Girardin has prevailed ; and although Michel ( de Bourges ) does not spare Louis Napoleon , his speech frankly supported the ministerial project .
Hence we have the Daily News saying this morning that " the great object must come to be the consolidation of the republic ; " the Times questioning whether " the law is worth so dangerous a contest , " and suggesting a " compromise" ; the Chronicle announcing that " the Law of the 31 st of May is stricken to death ; " and the Post opining that the " possibilities of a peaceful solution " are now «• decidedly" greater . The Augsburgh Gazette of the 9 th says that the re-election of Louis Napoleon is supported by Austria , Prussia , and Russia , who are at the same time endeavouring to persuade the Prince de Joinville to withdraw from his candidature .
" Leopold Frederick , by God ' s grace , high and mighty reigning Duke of Anhault , Duke Gothen , Duke of Saxony , Eugern , and Westphalia , Count of Askania , and Lord of Zerbst , Bernberg , and Grrobzig , has just issued a proclamation abolishing on his sole high and mighty authority the constitution of the duchies over which he is so grand a potentate . Ine population of these duchies is about the same as that of Cologne-under 100 , 000 souls . Yet " Leopold &c , comes forward as the organ of the Dead Uiet ot Frankfort , which persists in believing itself ahve .
The Venice Gazette states that Eugene Cum , of Venice , convicted of having purchased a share m Mazzini ' s loan , without having declared the lact to the authorities , was sentenced to death for nign treason . Angelo Giacomelli , of Trevisa , having received an anonymous letter from Turin , containing a plan for appointing a committee for effecting a general revolution , which letter he destroyed without communicating it to the authorities , was condemnoa to imprisonment for ten years . lield-Marshal ltadetzky « had been pleased" to commute the sentence of Curii to eight , and that of Giacomelli to five ' imprisonment .
