Saiurdat Morsino. Fra2jce. Paris, Friday...
Saiurdat Morsino . FRA 2 JCE . Paris , Friday . —It appears certain that the attempt" to reconcile SI . Berryer and his party to the prolongation of the President ' s powers has for the present failed . . Some of tbe Buonapartist journals propose a Kheme for opening a register in every commune for each citizen to inscribe his opinion on the prolongation of powers . ., „ ,, . The Charivari was seized on Thursday for a caricature insulting to the President and Ministers . LOMBARD ! .
The Man Gazette , of the 12 th inst ., announces that the Council of War bad sentenced two young dorks to four and eight months * imprisonment for having written seditious epitaphs in one of the cemeteries of Milan . The same Council of War lad condemned Count Gaspair , responsible editor of the Fenice , to 3001 ivres fine , and three months ' imprisonment . The journal , moreover , was to be suppressed while the state of siege endured .
GERMANY . COLOOSE , April 14 . —The political trials now in progress betray more palpably than any other signs the character of tbe times in which we Germans live . Dr . Becker , of Cologne , was tbe conductor of the red journal the Westdeutsche Zeitung . The government having pursued the editors and proprieetors of this journal with successive prosecutions , bo that one of them , Dr . Becker , has been compelled to sacrifice all his personal property for the sake of his opinions , has completed the ruin Of the newspaper by forbidding its transmission through the post . Not satisfied with this there still remained tho men to excite fear and hatred , and so Dr . Becker was accused in respect of several articles
which appeared in the dead and buried print . One of these processes was brought to an issue about three months ago , Dr . Becker was then Accused of the crime of lesemojeste , of which he was acquitted by the jury . His line . of defence was in effect this : " Had I said that the king of Prussia was an immoral man , that he was of intemperate habits , that he conducted ' himself grossly , then I should have attacked the king , and been guilty of Use majesti ; but if I have said that he governs ill , and thus brings distress on the country , 1 have only attacked his policy and those who are responsible for it , that is his ministers . " He afterwards sought to show that this policy had been bad and injurious ; and he was acquitted by the jury . A . few days after ibis bis speech , printed from the Itenographer'snotes , appeared inthe Cologne Gazette . It was not a defence , but a bold and
complete attack on the ministerial policy . It became very , popular , was reprinted through five editions , Bach of ten thousand copies , and read from one end of the kingdom to the other .. This success irritated the government anew , and Dr . Becker again committed the crime of lesc-majwte even in this defence . The phrases selected to support this charge are those already quoted , " Had I accused the King of intemperance , " & c . The trial took place the day before yesterday , at the Cologne Assizes , at which the public was excluded . Deprived of . theguarantee of publicity , and intercepted at every turn in his defence , either by tbe public pro-¦ ecutor or the chief judge , still the jury acquitted Mm , and that fin * iimously . Dr . Becker ' s famous discourse may now be reprinted without danger , and certainly a better advertisement than that of the King ' s attorney-general could not be addressed to tbe millions of Prussian readers .
UNITED STATES . By the arrival of the Franklin at Southampton we are in the receipt of news three days later from New York . The slave agitation , consequent ou the rescue of the negro Shadrack , at Boston , had led to the arrest of several other fugitives . The State Legislatures of Vermont , Massachusetts , and Ohio , are those most loud in their attacks against the fugitive Slave Bill . There is nothing stirring of interest at Uew York .
Mb . Bath ' s . EiBPHAsrs . —One . of the greatest Bovelties eveneen in England is now iu the possession of . Mr . W . Batty , of Astley'a Amphitheatre , having been landed iu the East India Docks , the other day , viz ., an elephant and its infant sucking at her breast . The mother is an immense animal , stands about ten feet high , and the infant three feet in height . The animals were exported from Mazapore , East Indies , about 700 miles up the country ,
and' were bought from the natives . The infant , when purchased , being only two months old was not able to walk , and the keeper bad to provide a horse and cart to convey the little one on its way , the mother following close behind . They were embarked at Calcutta , in the ship Wellesley , Capt . A . Parish , and the animals were under the care of Mr . francis and the steward . The length of tbe time occupied hy their passage from Calcutta to England was rather more than five mouths , consequently the infant is now about seven months old .. It is
understood that the animals are to , be exhibited to her Majesty and the royal family in a few days , and Mr . Batty intends making an exhibition of them for tbe present season ... AocmisT at zas Custom House Qoat . —An accident of a most serious character took place on Thursday afternoon to a man named George little , » ged twenty-five yeari , of Uo . 1 , Milk-atieet , Walworth , whilst employed at the Custom House Quay , Lower Thames-street , City . Deceased was engaged in a warehouse , on the second floor , lowering goods into a cart , when he overbalanced himself , and fell from the loop-hole on to the stone pavement below . Severe ! persons ran to his assistance , and raised him up , hut he was quite insensible . He was
removed with aU speed to St . Thomas a Hospital , but is not likely to survive . MoKsiEB Excursion Teams . —On Good Friday , excursion trains at reduced fares , were run on all tbe railways . A monster train left the Paddington station for Oxford , another , the South-Western , for Windsor , and on the Eastern Counties , for Cambridge ; the Brighton excursion train , how ever , " conveyed the greatest number , between eight and mine hundred individuals going by . it . . Mora than 4 , 000 persons left the metropolis by these excursion trains ; the rate of travelling averaging three miles for one penny . - ASSAEKT UPON THE DsAS OF . LlSCOUr . — On Thursday , at the Lincoln police-office , Mr . Thomas
Napper , surgeon , of Dorking , was charged with having , on tbe previous day , forced his way into tbe residence of the dean , after being denied admission , emdrerasingtoquit it , after being repeatedly re quested to do so—with creating a great uproar and assaulting the dean .. The defendant , it appeared , accompanied by % lady , called on . the previous day at the dean's residence , and demanded to see him . The dean sent out word by the servant that he was engaged , and thereupon . the defendant rushed into fie drawing-room , and putting his fist inthe faco of the dean , said , in reference to the dean ' s son , * ' he would send him to .. ' , and then follow him there ! He would never let the matter drop ;? and
then putting' his head close to tbe dean's , added , " unless yon give me something to - bold my noise , then there'U fie an end of it" . ( Tbe statement as to money the defendant indignantly denied . ) The dean , iu cross-egrairiuiation , stated that Mr . Napper ¦ aid that if he could see his son he would go away quietly ! . He had never known Mr . Napper person ally before tbe time he entered tbe bouse , although fc # had beards good deal aboiitbini ; he bad heard there vrerectfcumitances of a private nature con nected with thomatter , but that bad nothing to do with him ( tbe dear )) , and could not justify the conduct of the defendant .

Public Sympathy With The Political Refug...
PUBLIC SYMPATHY WITH THE POLITICAL REFUGEES . A public meeting called by tbo Fraternal Democrats for this object was held on Tuesday evening , ftl * the Literary Institution , John-street , Tottenham ; cou . " * road . D . W . Rum was called to the chair , and commenced 'by alluding to the disgrace inflicted upon the country by the dastardly attacks made upon the rights ©/ hospitality in the persons of the Refugees . ° The leader in this crusade was a man who had risen to . the title of Lord Lyndhurst , by ' adopting an infamous truckling line of policy , — others not worthy of especial note had followed his example . He looked npon one of these more in pity than in anger , and thought it bad policy to name him . The Chairman then read a letter from Mr . Reynolds , and apologised for the absence of other speakers .
Mr . Bexnv moved tho following resolution : « - " That this meeting , convinced of the fallacious character of the statements made in Parliament , and reiterated by a portion of the Press , in reference to the character and intentions of the political exiles at present residing amongst us , condemns such statements as malicious calumnies , uttered for the purpose of evoking a spirit of persecution against our brave and unfortunate brethren , and also because they are calculated to sever the people , and thereby aid and strengthen their oppressors . " He alluded briefly to the sittings of the Convention , and regretted that the policy of any one of its members should have thrown the apple of discord among them upon the subject of the Refugees . Tho day had now arrived when old prejudices and animosities should be . abandoned , and not fostered and encouraged . These dissensions among leaders were productive of great evil , and he trusted they would never attempt to revive them . .
Mr . Pettis seconded the resolution . He commenced by reviewing the past history of tbe Refugees , dwelling long upon the character of Mazzini , Ledru Rollin , and Louis Blanc ; If any fault was to be found with these men it was that they had been too humane for the despots whom they had crushed , and who , through their clemency , were again rampant in power . The grandeur of the uprising of the people , its clemency and generosity , was more than eclipsed by the tyranny and bloodshed of the tyrants who now . ruled in their stead . Cabx Sohapper , who was received with tremendous applause , said , that many had been so foolish as to think that the foreigners were about to get up a revolution in May . His society did not notice it ,
until tbey saw it reiterated in the Northern Star He positively denied tbe truth of this report on the part of the German Society . They had officiaUy denied it . It was a foul calumny ; any person pro ^ posing such a thing would be turned out of their society as a fool or a- madman . It was calculated to injure their society , which had now existed eleven years in this country . He was surprised to hear that these reports were even now rife among the Chartist body . He had heard that day , that the German body had a constitution ready prepared for them , and that even the day , the 25 th of April , was fixed upon for the rising , Nothing more idle and calumnious was ever invented . They wished England to be free , but English working
men were the best judges of their own affairs . Mr . Harney supported tbe resolution . ' Nations , like individuals , were liable to the failing of inordinate self-esteem . England professed , among other such vain glorious , axioms , ' . ' That she was the inviolate home of the brave and the free . " This was ; in some measure , true , more especially to those who had fled from religious persecution . It was also partly true of Republican Political Refugees , but still more true of royal and princely refugees He then alluded to Sir James Graham ' s conduct towards Mazzini , in the notorious spy letter system ; and , in allusion to tbe attempt to raise him to office on account of his late Free Trade speeches , averred , that whatever the middle class might do , that the
working men would never suffer themselves to be so disgraced as to have a man , like the murderer of the brothers Bandeira , and the spy of the Post office , thrust upon them , without protesting , in the strongest language , against it . ' Mr . Harney then showed that tbe whole of the foreign democratic societies in this country denied tbe calumny brought against them , and if some of them had not openly denounced it , ths reason was , that they did not wish' to . increase the importance of the subject . This question , taken in connexion with the attempt to banish the refugees from Switzerland , and not to allow them to come to England , but to drive them to America , was of great importance , and they must , by public meetings , and the aid of the
Press , disabuse the minds of the middle class from the prejudice sought to be instilled into them . If the British government re-enacted the Alien Bill , —if they drove away , such men as Mazzini , let the people see that every alien , whether Russian , Prussian , or Austrian , ambassador or noble , met with the same fate . He did not believe they dare carry the Alien Bill into operation ; if they did , it would be their duty to breakthrough such a foul law . Let each man do as he would do —take a Refugee home to his house , and let him not be taken thence unless by force . If he suffered for his patriotism , let them , as brethren , suffer with him . The speaker then showed that if the Charter had been the law of the land in 1849 ^ Mazzini would not have fallen—Hungary would not
have been overwhelmed .:-British arms and British ships would have been sent to the rescue . Tbey would not havo contented themselves with an expression of mere sympathy ; but their feelings would har 6 been shows in their deeds . It was their duty to let their brethren know that , when thoy had power , that power should be used for beneficial purpose ? . He had no doubt tb . it , when the grand struggle came which should decide whether Europe should be Republican or Cossack , England would be found taking a part on tbe side of right and justice . Mr . Harney sat down loudly cheered . . Mr . Siuu , supported the resoulution , and found fault with' the letters in the Northern Star , Upon the subject of the intention , of foreigners at the forthcoming Exhibition . He also thought that tbey should not entertain the idea that bloodshed was
necessary to consummate a revolution . It might be so ; but he did not wish that it should be prominently brought forward . The resolution was then unanimously carried . Mr . Beieb moved the following resolution;—" That this meeting , sympathising deeply with tbe noble-hearted patriots , whose efforts in the cause of liberty and humanity have resulted in exile or imprisonment , hereby express' our admiration of their conduct , our grief for theirpresent sufferings , and our sincere hope that the principles for which they bare combated may have a complete and
speedy triumph . " The sentiment long since enunciated by one of the great departed , that " The world was his country , " was only now beginning to be appreciated . The battle was now ' between the haves and the have not . It mattered not what was the colour , creed , or country of those , who held the one great- opinion of the freedom of humanity . They could meet together , and shake the band of universal brotherhood . He regretted tbe language used by Mr . O'Connor ; it was calculated to produce more harm than the lies in tbe Timet . - •" ¦ ' ¦ - Mr . SrAixwoon merel y seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , aud the meeting dissolved .

Thames.—Accident M Finn Abms.-J. Cartis,...
THAMES . —Accident m Finn Abms .-J . Cartis , aged fifteen , was charged with firing a pistol loaded with shot at his sister , Susannah Maria Curtis aged seventeen , and wounding her in a most frightful manner . —A certificate from Mr . Bushfield housesurgeoa . of the London Hospital , was put in ' stating that the wounded girl was admitted into that institution , with-a pistol shot wound in her face , and that sho was in great danger therefrom . — It appeared in evidence that the prisoner , his sister , and mother , went on board a ship in St ; Katharine Docks on Sunday afternoon on a visit to tho steward , who was about to take some raisins from a locker , in which were two' pistols . The prisoner took up
one of them , and , presenting it towards his sister , said , "Shall I fire ? " She became alarmed , > and said , " For . God ' s sake put it down , or you will dp some mischief . '' At that moment the pistol went off , and the whole contents were lodged in his sister ' s face , which was frightfully shattered , and she fell backwards , apparently lifeless . Immediate assistance was rendered , and she was taken to the hospital . The pistol was loaded with duck shot , and the poor creature received the main part of the discharge in the mouth . Other shots spread over her face , and some lodged in her eyes and deprived her of sight . —The prisoner , who seemed deeply affected at tbe lamentable occurrence , said he did not mean to harm bis sister , and that the pistol went
off as he was laying it on the table . —The steward of the ship and Sarah Ann Hudson , a visitor on board , said the pistol went off as the prisoner laid it on the table , that it was either cocked or ou the half-cock , and that the prisoner did not present it at his sister at all . The girl was seated in front of the cabin-table when the pistol went- off . The occurrence was quite accidental . —The prisoner was discharged . The Late Case op Abouction . —William Day , late barman to Mr . Dean , 100 , Curtain-road , Shoreditch , was re-examined on the charge of abduction preferred on Wednesday week . The court was ' crowded to excess , owing to the strange and
mysterious aspect of the facts which were elicited on the previous inquiry . —Ann Harriet Newman , the complainant , has hitherto borne' a most excellent character as a hard workings industrious young woman , remarkable for her strict integrity , and her close application to business as a sempstress . Though still enfeebled from , the drugs and rough treatment to which she had been subjected , the account which she now gave of this transaction was more clear and collected than her first statement . From her lengthened examination ¦¦ it would appear that the . house to which she was taken was in the west-end . The room in which she found herself
when awakening from the effects of the drug applied to her face in tho cab . was a spacious back parlour . The young woman who informed her that she was in a brothel , and who furnished her with the knife to defend herself , was tall arid goodlooking , dressed hi black silk , with white cuffs , and wore a watch and chain . On giving her the knife , and telling her to'defend herself , she also informed her that the person who brought her to the place in a cab ; had £ 3 for doing so . Witness was of opinion she . would know this young woman again , and also the old woman who compelled her to drink the liquid , which hada spirituous taste . The latter , who was about , seventy years of age , was dressed in a rich fawn-eoloured It after
satin , and wore a very flashy cap . was she was compelled to drink the liquid , that the three , gentlemen came into the room . On seeing them the witness , though very weak , got , up from the sofa on which she had been lying , when the old woman told her she must make up her mind to stay all night , and she should have all she wished for , ; to which witness replied that she did not want anything , and brandishing the , knife cried out , "I must go away , and I do not care where or whom I strike . " She then made her way to the hall , which was well lighted with a large lamp , but was pursued by the gentlemen , and secured after wounding one of them in the hand . They succeeded in getting her back to the room , and the one she had . wounded
threatened to have her hands tied with a cord , and thrust her into the cellar , but she still resisted . Two of the gentlemen were advanced in years , and the third was about thirty , One of them thon tried to force her upstairs to a bedroom , saying she must pass the night with him , but she screamed so loudly that they began to be alarmed , and forced ber back to the parlour , wherethey tried what bribery would do , and a handsome watch with a gold chain was Hung round her neck , which she dashed indignantly away , and flung four or five glass tumblers at them . ' The prisoner , of whose identity she was quite positive , was then called up to fetch a cab , which be did . As they proceeded through the ball the prisoner told her that if she
would but be quiet she should be taken back to her father ' s ,- and as they went along , not knowing the place , she supposed he was conducting : her home , when they arrived at a dark street ( Little Buttonstreet , Clerken well ) he told her to get out , and after walking three or four yards with her put a paper in her hand which was subsequently found to contain her address and left her . She . staggered on a little further , when , weary and stupified , she sat upon the stop where the constable ( Hillier ) found her . The handkerchief put to her face produced an unpleasant suffocating sensation , coupled with a ringing noise in the ears and dimness , of : vision previously to producing insensibility . Other witnesses were examined , and the prisoner . was , remanded .
WORSHIP STREET . — Attempted Suicide . — Elizabeth Richardson , aged 18 , was charged with attempting to beat her own brains out with a hammer . —The accused is servant toa tradesman named Charles Jackson , S 3 , Upper . Clifton-street , near this court , who stated that on Sunday night shortly after ten o ' clock , his . wife sent the girl to bed ; on retiring themselves , between eleven and twelve o'clocki they found her sitting on it completely exhausted , and the blood running over her face , from several wounds in the temples and upper part of the head . After restoratives were applied , she confessed having struck herself with a hammer found under the table . —The girl was quite unable to answer any questions , and was obliged to be supported while standing at the bar . —The magistrate directed her to be brought before him on Monday next , and ordered that she should be conveyed to the matron of the prison in a cab .
Thi Schooimasteb Wasted . —Robert Newmurk who . was stated to be a working jeweller , was charged with assaulting his daughter , eight years old , who was contused about the face , and appeared to have sustained other violence , but was found to be incapable of understanding the nature of an oath ; her . evidence , therefore was inadmissible . —The defendant ' s eldest son , a young . man 22 years of age , presented himself as a witness , but said he did not know the meaning of taking an oath . —The magistrate explained that in taking an oath he called upon God to witness to his speaking the truth , and rendered himself- liable to punishment both in this world and the next , if he gave false evidence . —The young man said he had never heard
of a [ God , and on being questioned , ; said ; he had no idea of what was to become o ' f him ' when he died , and had never heard of- such a thing as a soul or a future state . Neither he , nor . any of the family , had ever , been'in a place of worship that he knew of . In . fact , he had never received any kind of instruction—Upon further inquiry being made , it appeared that there had been eight in the family , all reared in the same . brutal ignorance . — The defendant ' s wife .-said she had never had the means of educating or any command over her family , and her husband thought only of getting drunk , and ill-used , them when lie came home in that state . —Mr . Arnold expressed his astonishment at finding a whole family in such 7 a state of
utter ignorance when education . , was so ^ widely diffused , and after seriously ! lecturing the woman for bringing her children up , in 8 U 0 b , & condition , said he must suspend the casefdhaweek , alidadvised her to applyin ' the ' meahtih * , e to , the clergyman of the parish' ; who would impart some instructions to them ; 'for tinder present ¦ circumstances it was impossible , to take their ' evidence . —The defendant was bound over in . his , recognisances to appear a week hence . , "' , , ;' : !; . , , ' ,, '•' .: ' - ¦¦ A Quia or HoraMMAMRg . ^ Waifam ' Lbngford , ' a reputed burglar , ' was brought up for . examination upon a charge of haying been concerned in plundering the warehouse of Mri Edmunds , a silk manufac turer J in Fort-street , ..
