C On Thursday the debate on tho Italian question _wiiwisopanedbyths * Ci _Cirrtss Udot Roura , who aaid I demand from the b oy government if they have received any additional inffon formation relative to the affairs of Rome , and if so _-we-wtheyo _^ _naftire to _Bhowthatthe ealm whieh tbe netl lettersoftheAmb _^ dor would lead ss to foresee _Hiijliu befinconbnu . _d ? l _etters which appeared _yester-, aa' aay inthe pnhbc jonrnals show that after Bossf waa ir & tF _gtrucl-the people remained calm , and the _AsaemUr vwewen toHwita thaw deliberations , without showing missy emotion _^ The honourable _gentleman then _jj-fisstrratadthec _^ umstances which were given ia M

He then went oa : —I will now proceed to <© a consider , in * poliUeal paint of liaw , the expedition wt which haa beea just ordered to Civita-VeccWa . It ia , 1 111 conceive , altogether precipitate and out of place "H Ihe CTy with wbich tha late movement has been iefj effected at Rome , waa a bas les strangers , and yet Ti France tends out her subjects to that oountry ! I ico consider that this will be a cause of great difficulties , _sas as the first thing that the Roman people looked for —\ was the independence of their _conatry . They will 1 th think bat little ofthe Pope in comparison with that . olobject . Yoa desire , yon tay , to defend the Pope ; Ibi but the real cause of tbe expedition is io impose ) by
fo force of anna what yoa conceive to be the best policy ft for the Roman people . I conceive that yoa hare p ! placed the Republio in a fatal situation , and I feel _cicon-rineedtbatifyonhad previously demanded the _01 opinion of the Pope himself , he would have declared _s against the step which yoa have taken : nay , more , 2 if I am well _^ nfbrmed , the Nuncio at Paris , it you hid © consulted him , would hare been prepared to dissuade y yoa from sueh an aet . Yon desire to aid the temporal I Prinoe when opposed and put down by his people . I Bnt let mB now examine tho _instraotiona which yoa I have given to your agent Yoa ordered him notto i interfere in ths political affairs of Rome . Bnt is it a _fflneerely that inch instructions are given ? Can I he ba master ot his actions , when he _endeiTonra to
x restore order for tha purpose of defending the Pope ? [ The qaestion was sot at Rome , but at Milan ; the i question was not _religiens _, but political ; the Prince ¦ wasnot to ba considered aa the head of the Church , 1 bat as a temporal _siitfereign . ( Marks of _dissenU _; Itis Austria that haa to deride what will be the coarse ef events at Rome , if France countenances i that power in ita inflaeace and its acts . Ii not SEdetricy weighing dowa Lomtard y by his acta of despotism ? Hai he not commenced a system of arbitrary rule ? No one ean deny it , and therefore tbe decision ofthe qaestion will be found , I repeat if Is thit part of Italy , ahd not at Rome , once that France bas thrown the weight of her inflaenoe into the ecala against the efforts ofthe Roman people .
But look at the condact of the French government in this matUF . The moment Intelligence arrives of the rising tf the people of Rome , it sends ftttb its expedition to Civita Vecchia . thereby aiding the views of Austria , and rivettingthe thraldom in which that power holds tha north of Italy . But whea Blum was murdered , what mark of sympathy proceeded from France ! Did the Republio protest against that act . ( Murmurs ?) Was there a single act , a single word en its part against auoh conduct towards one of the firmest defenders of popnlar feeling ? No ; when the friend of the people perished , the French government wu silent ; bnt when differences arse between the temporal Prince—for such , I maintain , tha Ptpe mast be considered in this case ,
and his people , at once it sends oat aid to the former against the latter . Bat then is another point ef a very important nature , to which I desire to oall the attention ofthe Assembly . Has the head of the Executive aright to thus send forth troops without consulting the Assembly ? Can he thus engage the _eountrv oa his owa responsibility ! I do not think to . When , indeed , the monarchy was here , the ministry _wasacenstomed to aot as it deemed proper , and then came to the Chamber to render an account of its acts , and demand approbation . Bat we are now nnder a _Republic , and the same cavalier mode of acting cannot be permitted . By the constitution which has just been passed , tha President of the Repnblio is not allowed to declare war without tha sanction of
the National Assembly , or to command in person the armies of the oountry . In the United States of America , each also is the role . Well then , is not the President ! of the Council at present in the plaoe of the President of the Republic ? Ought he not to follow the same rules 1 Ought he thus to send out troops withont consulting the Assembly ? Iproa ' aim ench conduct illegal—I protest against it—and I call en yoa sot to allow the spirit of the constitution to be violated within a month of its promulgation . ( Approbation , though only from the extreme Left ) Count Montalembert spoke in favour ofthe measure adopted by the government . M . Jules Favre
reiterated the arguments of M . Ledra Rollin . M . Dufaure read the diplomatic correspondence and founded upon it the proof of the necessity of the intervention . After some observations , without importanoe . frem M . Edgar Quinet and Charles Dupin , General Cavaignac spoke in defence of the measure ha had adopted , and , having concluded , Beveral orders of the day were proposed , but the Assembly gaTe priority ta the following : ' The Assembly , approving of the measure of precaution taken by the government for asiuring the personal liberty nf the Pope , and reserving its ultimate decision till ah the facta ara folly knows , pastes to the order of ths da */ . " This order of tha day was adopted by a

The _Fsxasa makes an appeal to those who intend to vote for Raspail , Ledra RoTm or Lamartine , to take shelter under the banner of Louis Napoleon , otherwise General Cavaigaao will gain 'the day . _L'AssMBLra _NinosiLT * , one of the most influential and widely _tHTCulated of the moderate journal ? , has . after much _hesitaKcn and delay , declared to-day b favonr of PrineaLonia . .

THS DEMOCRATIC EXttaB . The Rxfobue publishes the following letter from M .

' . _CAUiamuBs . ' OPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN ASSEMBLY AT BRANDENBURG—NO HOUSE !* Beandbkbubg , Nov . _27- —The Bitting of the Prussian Chamber , anticipated with so mnoh interest , has produced only a negative result ; that is the number of deputies in attendance was forty-eight under that required to make it capable of passing a legal vot _» . Aa M ; Von Unruh , the President , protests with the Opposition , against the legality of the adjournmeal _toBrandeabarg _, he was of coarse absent ; in his stead the ehair was taken by M . Yoa _Braaneck , as the oldest deputy present The four _Yioe-Presidents were also absent .
M . Yon Branneck having taken his seat , called on the secretaries to resame their _funotions . The first proceeding was to call over the names of the whole Assembly , alphabetically . This ocoupied a _eonaiderablo time . The Secretary bad to read for some minutes before any one answered , and the silence with which each name was followed , and the frequent repetition of the aceompaiying wotdfehlt , by which the deputy was marked as absent on the register , began to excite some hilarity in the galleries . At last M . _Baumstark broke the spell by the first 'Here ; ' hut the roll-call still presented a long series of blanks .
About twenty of the members present , handed in protests against the transference of tbe Assembly , from _Bsrlin to Brandenburg . The President then communicated the result of the call of names . It gave the whole number of deputies present as 154 ; he , therefore , declared tbe Assembly not capable of coming to a legal vote ( nieAt BetchlussfaUg ) , and announced the adjournment till 11 o ' clock
tomorrow . ,- mo _Housa * again ! _BaiTOiNBTjRQ , Not . 23 . —The second day ' s sitting ef tba National Assembly hu terminated in another adjournment The numbsrof deputies attending tc « day was 159—an increase of five from yesterday .

National Assembly was opened at half-past eleven o ' clock . None ofthe Ministers wera present—While the names were being ealled over , forty or fifty Deputies of the former Extreme Left , ofthe Left Castro , and of the Loft , entered the hall . It appeared that 262 Members were present , eleven sick or otherwise prevented , snd 131 absent The Assembly having thus met in plenum , M , Sohueider , read a declaration in the naae of himself and fortyfive friends , protesting against the removal of the Assembly from Berlin .
The Assembly having refused to _recagnise Yon Unroll , as President ; the eighty Members whohad last arrired . immediately quitted tha halL Tha Assembly wu thus again not in plenum . Subsequently , the following motion was . carried . —The high Assembly charges its President to change the Ministers of State , to convoke the substitutes of _tee Deputies who have not responded to the last nominal appeal of this day . Tha Assembly then adjourned . ' -. FAMOUS CORDUCT 0 ? IHfe INFAMOUS TTRAM I .
_Bsniia . Nov ; 27 . —At noon this day a detachment of some 300 men of the Emperor Francis Regiment , under the command of Major Y . _Blumsnthal , proceeded to the Hotel Mylius , wherein the local assembly of the members ofthe Left is known to be held . The Major , at ihe head of bis officers and a few men , proceeded into the Assembly-room and summoned tho assembled Deputies , seventy in number , in the name ofthe law and the superior power , to depart therefrom . The representatives were in the end literally dragged out oi the room . A search was then made fer papers , and numerous printed documents lying on the table were _seizsd .
MrtiTABT DisAFFScno-r . —The second battalion of tke 9 th Regiment of the landwehr ( militia ) have formally deolared that , although they have taken up arms in obedience to the call made upon tbem , and exchanged the dress of _citisans for that of soldiers , they will not act against their brethren , for they ( the members of the abore battalion ) are convinced that the representatives in Berlin are defending the sacred rights of the people . _FUBTHIR _FSBSECUnOHOF THI RATIONAL _ASSUIBLT .

The correspondent of the Mobnirq Post writes as follows : — ' _Fbaskfobt , Deo . 1 —To give yon an idea of the opinions of the German _Democratic party , I will communicate the essenoe ofthe speeches made last evening , principally by noted members Of tho Oppo sition . at the funeral ceremony in honour of the lata Robert Blum , celebrated by the olub Das _Montagskranzchen . The speakers bitterly complained of the present state el Germany . The hopes formerly entertained of German liberty and unity are , in their opinion , for the present blasted . The people have been oheated by their government of the fruits of tbe _March revolution . Bat ' a much mightier revolution is approaching ; muoh blood is yet to be shed before the German people are free and united , Windisohgratz hasbeen quite mistaken in thinking io siu tne idea ot
liberty by killing one of the bravest champions of liberty . Martyr Blum will , dead , prove more useful to Liberalism than Blum living . His body is destroyed , _bntuis spirit is pawing through the people . The inestimable lo * B will be folly revenged . The youth and men of Germany must learn from this example gladly to die for the hely cause . Many victims most yet fall , but ultimate success isaure . The corpse of Blum , buried at "Viecns like that of a criminal , will link German Austria to Germany , and no power will break that link . The Left of the German Assembly requires the support of the people , aB the people require the assistance of the Left . The funeral ceremony appointed by the National Assembly baa been deferred . The memory of Blum bas already been celebrated in almost every town of Germany by such ceremonies , thuB indicating ihe popular feeling .
THE WAR IN HUNGARY , From tbeBBBsiA ** Zeituso : — . _Hokoist , Nov . 24 . —FaoH the _Cabpaihiak Momr-7 AIRS . — -We bear from Hungary tbat the rebellion is everywhere in , onr hills completely organised , and that money wife * was _Kqnired for the purpose has aot been snared . The want of food , and the difficulties ariiing therefrom havo been lightened , a considerable number of young msn have joined the revolters . Inthe mean time , though many differences of opinion exist among them , still very many of the Hungarian magnates who have possessions in these mountains have sent ordera to their manager ! to favonr the Hungarian _canseto tbat of tbit dais many have enrolled _themielvcs . Frem the _Rutbene- _. of whom a great number are constantly coming
derm from tha _Gszpalhlant to Lower Hangar } , tba greater number have taken service because they thereby get good pay . Szonlock on the Thelz most particularly supplies recruits . In Upper Hungary and chkfly on the neighbourhood between _Presborg , Tlrnan , and Raab , not only ia every eligible poiat fortified , bnt care has also been taken to make the roads ( which are always bad ) perfeotly impassable . In all tbe oouatry—that ie to _t » y , at far at tho Hungarian army occupies and _opsr . ates , measures are taken In the event of a retreat , to burn the Villages , and either to-carry oS or _ititroy all food whatever ; also to remove the inhabitant ! , so _ttat the enemy who enter * may Had a deiert .

certainly the entrenchments between this and _Pettb are most formidable . Everything It provided for carrying on a war of destruction . Wbat tbe conntry _tofftri / and _borr it is to be restored when all these troubles are over , is not te clear . Trade and industry are prostrate , and bands ara formed which , unJer the title ef war parties , are already carrying on a system of open robbery . Tbe army ot _Wlnoiscbgratz has already arrived between _Pressnrg and Tiraan . Ibe right wing , it ls taid , will _takePretborg , whilst ths left will operate on the Donan , and trill protect the railway . _JeUacbich's army stands between Fretbarg and _Bniob , on the _Lsltka , on the right bank of the Donan . _S-rious events must toon take place . _n
It appears by the Jour * l of Austrian _Liorn ' _s that the Magyars were skirmishing along the banks of the Drave ( the Drau in German ) on tke 19 « h , and that on the following day a fierce cannonade commenced sear tbe Legrad bridge . The Magyars wars Opposed by the National Guard * of the Samobor district , by a battalion of the Agram guard , and by ethers armed with fowling-pieces , The result of the contest , whioh lasted till _eveaing , is not stated ; but it is clear that by their arrival on the Drave some of the Magyar troops are advancing towards the _country of their greatest foe , the Ban of Croatia . In Siebenburgen also the war of races still continues . Letters from Klausenburg , nnder date , November 12 th , state that all tha _nojinlation was ia arms , and that the well-known Urban—Pastor Urban , as he is calledhad taken possession of Dees .

ITALY . 7 UOHT OF THB TOPS FB 0 M HOUR . In our town edition of last Saturday ' s Star we published the following , from Paris -. —Intelligence has arrived to-day ( Friday ) by telegraph , announcing the escape of the Pope from Rome , and his probable embarkation for France . The following is _textually the _telegraphio _despatoh * - 'Civita Vecclua , 26 th November , 3 p . m . —The Consul of France to the Minister for Foreign Affairs . —The Pope secretly quitted Rome on the 24 th , at five o'clock in the afternoon . Rome was tranquil and indifferent . A vote of confidence has been granted to the ministry . The Pope intends to goto France . The steamer Tenare has gone to Gaeta , to take tim on board . '
The fact of the Pope having taken the Naples road rather than the more obviorj one to Civita Vecchia , is explained by the _position of the _Qurnnal , the gardens of whieh open on the road to Terraoma , so that the Pope was enabled to leave by a private door without passing through the city , or even Issuing from any of its gates . No doubt arrangements had been previously made to secure his journey to Terraoina , and frem thence to the Mola di Gaeta , the nearest port ef the Neapolitan _territory , ihe Duke _d'Harcourt , the Minister of France , must have been privy to the projeot of escape , since he sent an order to the French Consul at Civita vecebia to send the _steam-frigate , Tenare , to receive the Pope on board at Gaeta .

EGYPT . IHS DEATH OF 1 B 8 AH 1 U PACHA . Wp , some time ago , gave publicity to a report of the death of Ibrahim Pacha . The report was revived the latter end of last week , and has since been eonfirmed by the following dispatch : — : Maltai Nov , 27 , —The Frenoh steamer Nil oame in on the 25 th from Alexandria . Ibrahim Pacha is dead , and affairs look bad in Egypt . Abbas Pacha ha * assumed the reins of government . We take the following from the Daily News : —
MEMOIR OF IBRAHIM PACHA . Ibrahim Pacha , whose death tt confirmed by the despatches reoeWed from Egypt , was born at the village of _Cavella , in Albania , in 1789 , wbioh was also the birthplace of bis fritber , Soon _altor Mthemet AU went with a corps of Albanian troops to Egypt , bringing , as usual , bis family with him . Ia Egypt Mehemet lo »/ his eldest and favourite son , _Touatoun , tbe father of Abbas Paoba . Another son , ( Iamael ) piriehed in an expeditien agaiust tha Nubian * , who burned tbe house that be was In , ( r vengeance for hia cruelties . Their deaths left the way opsn for Ibrahim , who thus became generalissimo of
the Egyptian army , and charged with the task of remodelling and disciplining it after the French fashion . Within tbree years , vilth tbe aid of C-1 . Seva ( Soliman Pacba , ) he bad completed six regiments of fi ? obattalions of 800 men eaob . The oommon soldiers aeon liked thoir new life , and became , as they still continue , generally superior to th . ir _offloers , who wero most _antractaUe ootwlthstaading the example of Ibrahim Paoha and bis efforts to overcome tbeir prejudices . The following _itroog _illustration of what he had \ to contend with cbancsd to oome nithln our knowledge at tho time . Amongst other regulations an order was given that no soldier beneath tbe rank of a _oolonel' shoald wear a
beard . On one occasion on officer of Inferior rank appeared at the levee with tbe forbidden ornBment , and was forthwith reminded of the prohibition . He excused himself by statin *; that daring hia pilgrimage to Mecca , he had _bathtd his heard in the water of the Stored Wall , and that he could not consent to remove what hsd from that time become hoi ; . ' Either the beard or the head must csme off , ' was the stern reply , The officer bowed to tbe judgment and lost bis head . In 1824 these new foroes were ready to take the field . One regiment was sent southward and another against ths rebellious _Wahabeei , whose last attempt was completely defeated by the steady gallantry and discipline of the _Egyptian Infantry . In the following jear , at the entreaty ofthe Sultan , 17 , 000 troops , under the
command of Ibrahim , were sent against the Greek * , vthom be defeated in tbree general actions ; took Old and New _Kavarino , and marched victoriously to the very gates of Nanplia . He thence oroBsed to Roumella and took _Missolonghi _, aftea siege of three months , and great loss of life , accompanied by startling deeds of bravery and slaughter . Greeoo thus again subjugated , the _Egvptlaa army . was on the point ef being despatched to some other part of tbo seat of war , when the triple alliance interfered , and tbe battle of Navarlno , in 1828 , sent Ibrahim , shorn of his conquest " , baok to Egypt . The war in Syria broke oat boob after tbroogh a quarrel between Mehemet and the Paoha of Saida , and tbe firmer threatened unless justice wae done him te resort to arms , to march upon Acre , and _obaBtlse Abdallah
Tbe Sulian _appeared to coincide with his views , and sent out the Copudan Pacha with a fl * et , _apparently to aot in concert with bim . But whan the various measures forstcurlag tbe object of tbe campaign were arranged , and _thefliethad already arrived at Rhodes , the Sultan set the Paoba at defiance , and _rsealled his flaet . Im . mediately npon this the Paoha pushed forward all neoessary preparations for tbo _espod'tlon ; and to ibe dismay of Hahmoad , Ibrahim bad already disembarked in Syria , before tbe imperial messenger , despatched from Constantinople with ordera to suspend _operations , coeld arrive at _Altxandrla . Thus the war which was to ter . mlnate in tbe dismemberment of the empire and the humiliation ofthe Paoha , waa oommonced under the imperial auspices , as Ibrahim actually sailed from Egypt
with _Muhmoud ' _s firman In his possession , _JIvhemet affaoted great deference to the orders of the Sultan , bnt said that tbe expedition had sailed , and tbat if tbe envoy w raid tarry hu should bear back tbe keys of Aore . Tbe ambassador then asked what the Pacha _dsilrt _& ef the Porte . * To keep what I have , ' ha replied , * and let rue explain to you my policy in a few words . Ia a few days Acre will be mine . If tbe Sultan cement thai I shall keep it , I will stop there ; if not , I will take _Damatcas . There again , If Damascus bs granted mo , I will stop ; if not , I will take Aleppo ; and , If the Sultan will not then _con'oot—who knows ? ' A lab kerlm ! ' God is merciful . ' The ambassador rtturned and advised Mabmoud to consider his true position , and make peace . The ad . vice was rejeoted and the counsellor punished < The Saltan , having adopted tho alternative of war , made great ¦ fforti to prepare , whilst tbe Pacba was _actaally _conqntr . las Syria . Tripoli first , and then Acre , la Hay , 1832 , fell
after a gallant resistance , Tho next month Damascus surrendered , and Bhortly after on the plains of Hones , on tho very field where Z * nobia fought Asrellan , did tbe first great engagement take place between the Turkish and Arabian forces . The latter completely overcame their opponents , who were driven with fearful slaughter from the field , leaving tbo whole oamp behind them . Hones and Aleppo fell into Ibrahim ' s hands , aaothar successful battle was fought at By lan . After wbich Shanderean and _Aatleeh gubmllUd . The Turkish troops now fell back upon Koniah , and oolleoted in great foroe to march upon Syria . Ibrahim-, however , did net wall ; bat forcing the passes of Mount Taurus , hastened to meet them , and oa _December IS , 1832 , _feoght a desperate battie , which ended in tbeir total discomfiture and tbe captor ¦ ofthe grand vizier . Ibrahim immediately advanced towards Constantinople ; Mehemet _' s flaet _, in the mean _, time , embarrassing the Forte by Intercepting the pro-Visions intended for the army ia Syria .
The Czir having at this extremity offered his mediation , the Pacha agreed to an armistice , and a treaty was fram * d under tbe advice of the Frenoh ambassador , Ron-Bio , offering the vassalage of Acre , Jerusalem , and Tripoli for his _ecceptance , to which he returned a decided refusal , and despatched orders for Ibrahim fo advance . No sooner had he oolleoted his forces and left _KintuTjla , than the Russian troops landed and eaoamped between him and the _Boepborns , which go alarmed the Saltan , wbo feared his ally _eveu more than hs did his open enemy , tbat he at length conoluded a treaty , yielding tbe whole of Syria to tho Pacba , snd granting an amnesty to all its Inhabitant * . The glorious termination of this was oelebrated at Alexandria , ln 1833 , with every
manifestation of joy ; but ths peace did sot brlsg tbe benefits anticipated , for _troepe- and money were required to maintain an empire , stilt at actual war , or so unsettled in many parts as to require military rule . The consequent severity and exactions oaused au insurreotlen in Syria of so serious a nature that If ( heme ! himself deter _, mined eu proceeding there in person , and hia presence produced a marked Effeot , ' Revolts , however , were only suppressed in oae plaoe to break out in another , and most sanguinary and torero measures were adopted . Tha young men were drafted off to the army of the _Hedjsz , snd Ibrahim , concentrating his forces iu the Ltbanou , disarmed the subjeots ef Emir _Bsschor _, Prinoe of ths Druses . The same people rebelled in 1837 , but were suppressed with great severity by Ibrahim .
Meantime Sultan Mabmoud , not having digested the loss of Syria , determined to make another effort for its recovery . He raised an army in 1838 , and _entrusting it to Hafiz Pacha , bade him drive the Egyptians behind the Desert . He at the same tlmo declared _Mehtmot and Ibrahim degraded of their dignities , and a new Paoba was appointed to Egypt . Hafia crossed tbe Taurus at the head of a formidable army , and waa met by Ibrahim on the 25 th of June at Nesib . A battle ensued , in which the Turks wero completely routed , and fled , leaving 6 , 000 prisoners and all tbe ammunition behind , Tbis Victory , so menacing to tbo Saltan , was followed by an event still more alarming , the Capudan Pacha went over with the fleet to the Pacba .
At this crisis the European powers interfered . The dlplomatto effeots and event * , of these times are well known . They terminated in a treaty ofthe Four Powers , excluding France . And an English fleet Instantly bore down upon Syria , reduced Acre , and _lasdea * troops whioh , under Admiral Sir Charles Kapler , dislodged Ibrabim from his positions , The capture of Aore left him no choice but to retreat . The English had armed tbe mountaineers ; and thus equipped the Syrian tribes alone furnished a formidable army , before whiob Ibrahim _withdiew .
Here ended the military career of the Egyptian prince . His son retaioei command of tbe military force , and latterly , since the Intellect of Mehemet gave way , he has _conduoted tho entire _admlnittrstton , rather checking hit father ' s profusion ln public works , and devoting himself to agricultural improvements and military perfection , Ibrahim ' s visit to tbis oountry had made his person and character well known to us . Atone time he was said to be Intemp'rato in tho use of wine , wbioh muoh Injur * , his constitution , Latterly he was tep [ erat »| neo «» j _»' _^ i ; so , from _dcoUnlng hsalth _.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF TEE TOWN CLERK OF GREENOCK . . _£ * _ft _?*» * b Oonrt of Justiciary , on Monday _, before the Lord Jastice Clerk , Lord Mackenzie , and Lord Wood , John Thomson , auctioneer , in _Greeuook , was placed at the bar , charged with shooting with a pistol , loaded with ball and powder , at John Kerr Gray , town clerk of Greenock , on or near Hamilton Street , Greenock , on the 20 ch dsy of July , _1818 , with intent to murder . or to maim , disfigure , or disable the said John Kerr Gray , or with intent ( 0 do him BOme other grievous bodily harm . Plea . —' Generally not guilty ; specially not guilty , in respect that he laboured under insanity at the time . The Solicitor General . Mr Deag , and Mr M . Bell Advocate Deputy , conducted the prosecution ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr Brouu and Mr Maconoohie .
Claude Marshall , sheriff substitute of Renfrewshire , and James _Ingiis , sheriff clerk ' s depute , dep ned to the free and voluntary utterance ofthe prisoner ' s declaration , and gave it as their opinion that he was in a sane state of mind when the crimei charged against him were oommitted . The prisoner's declaration was then read . He said that he was labouring under aberration of intellect in the month of July last , and bought the pistol _libelled in the indictment for the purpose of destroying himself . On the _afternoon of the 20 th July , he was proceeding to a druggist ' s to buy a quantity of laudanum , when meeting Mr Gray , the town-clerk , be presented and Bred tbe pistol at that gentleman . He wbb not sensible at the time whether the shot had taken effect : bnt , feeling conscious tban he had done a bad
aotion , was proceeding up the _Vennel to give himself np to the sheriff substitute , when a man came up and took him into custody . John Kerr Gray , town-clerk of Greenock , was then called and examined : Remembers the 20 th of July last ; had come up from Dunoon in one of the steamers that morning . Landed at Greenock about half-past nine , and went straight to the town clerk _' u chambers in Hamilton Street . Abont a quarter before four left tbe chambers and proceeded westward along Hamilton Street . Wben I first observed the prisoner , he was walking very qaickly across the Btreet to the south side , where I was . He was walking very quiokly , and Mb appearance attraoted my attention . I turned round and just said , ' Well , Thomson , what do you want V At that moment he was only a few
feet from me . He made no answer , he did not speak . Only a moment elapsed between my remark until I reoeived a shot from Thomson . At that time he wore a surtont , and was walking with his hands behind hiB back . I noticed no fire-arms in his possession . I saw hfe band raised , bat his motions were so quick that I did not see the pistol . When I received the shot I said , 'Oh Godt I am shot . ' I then stepped into M'lllraith ' a shop , before whose door the circumstance occurred . The first gentleman tbat came np to me was Dr M'Gowan , and immediately afterwards someother medical msn oame into the shop , and a large crowd gathered before the door . 1 was carried
over to tba White Hart Inn in an infirmary oradle . Tbe bullet entered the left side , and crossed tbe chest . I was about fire weeks confined in tbe White Hart . The wound is still open , and I am now very imperfectly restored . I knew the prisoner before . I met him in the police court several times . On several occasions he was charged with a breaoh of the Polioe Act by interrupting the streets with auction sales . Thomson refused to obey ths orders of the magistrates in this matter , and several complaints were made against him by the inhabitants of Cross Shore Street . I aoted as assessor to the magistrates in these matters .
Alexander Shaw , spirit-dealer , in Greenock : Kneiv _tbo-prisoncr , who came into his shop on the morning of the 20 th July , and said he was watching a gentleman coming from Dunoon . Witness asked him if he meant Mr Gray . Thompson replied . ' That is tbe man . ' lie then laid a pistol on the table , and asked witness if he considered it a good one . Witness said he was no judge of pistols . Thomson then cocked the pistol , and put it into his pocket _. Witness told him to take oare what he was about , or he wsuld bs hanged by tbe laws of his country . Thompson said that he kuew tht laws as well aa him . On witness observing that the pistol was cooked , he said' that it was all the readier . ' He waa served with a glass of whiskey . By Mr Broun : In private conversation Thomson talked like a madman . His wife ' s death affected him a great deal . His mind appeared to be more affeoted when he was sober than when he was drnnk .
Dr Skaie _, resident _phyeioisn to the Lunatio Asylum at _MorniBgside , said he was direoted to attend tbe prisoner in gaol . __ He saw Thomson frequently , and conversed with him at great length . He could see no trace whatever of insanity . He oonversed with him about the events of tbis oase , and the prisoner spoke quite intelligently and distinctly on the subject . Witness saw nothing to lead him to doubt that Thomson was a person of a sane mind . For the defence , several witnesses were produced to establish the prisoner ' s insanity . Mr Broun addressed the jury in behalf of the
prisoner , and concluded by calling npon them to find a verdiot that he was of insane mind . The Lord Justice Clerk summed up the evidence . Thejury then retired to deliberate on their verdiot ; and , after a Bhort absence , returned into court , finding the prisoner , by a large majority , guilty of tbe statutory charge as libelled , and unanimously re * commending him to mercy . The Lord Justioe Cierk Baid the recommendation ofthe jury should be transmitted tothe Seoretary of State ; and his lordship , after an impressive address , sentenced the prisoner to be executed at Greenock , ou Saturday , _Daoember 23 rd .
The Potato Disease.—-Autumn Planting.— L...
The Potato Disease . — -Autumn Planting . — Little new light has hitherto been thrown on the cause of the blight or rot , except that it is pretty generally believed to be owing immediately to at . mospheric influence . In which way this has acted , and how it may be prevented , neither experience nor the researches of science have yet shown . It seems almost wholly out of the reach of human power . Next , therefore , to the advice _strenaously renewed , to substitute oats , parsnips , carrots , beet , and turnips ( the Swedish is excellent at table ) , little can be done except to attend to the mode of cultivation . The best rules are , to plant in the autumn , ar soon as the year ' s tubers are out of the ground j to choose a light sandy soil instead of a clayey one ;
and not to manure too heavily , and to let the earth lie lightly over the planted seed ; brail means select the largest potatoes for seed . When not wanted for seed , _polatoes should be kept iu the ground during the autumn ; and when taken up and stored , place a layer of dry sand between each layer of potatoes . Mr Johnson , who has so strongly recommended autumn planting for potatoes , says , in arecent communication to the Gardener ' s Chronicle , ' I will state only further , that my autumn planted crop , and those planted early in spring from set 3 preserved through the winter , with earth in alternate layers , have very few affected tubers ; and I am confirmed in my opinion that sueh cullivatioa is restoring tbe constitution of the potato , impaired ) by centuries of unnatural treatment .

TBIAIi Or THE BARONESS BT MART . " Dec 2 . —The learned Judge took bis Beaten tha bench at ten o ' olook , and as this msrning had be ' ea specially fixed for the trial of the _Baronet St Mart , upon a charge of laroeny , a good deal of interest appeared to be exoited , the conrt being crowded in every part . The acoused ; on being called to surrender , immediately came into court , aoaompanied by her husband .
She was elegantly dressed , and having been introduced into the dook by the side door appropriated for that purpose when the accused parties are oot on bail , a chair was placed for her , and she continued seated during tbe trial . Mr Straight , tho deputy clerk of arraigns , then read the indictment , whioh oharged tbe prisoner Emma St Mart , with feloniously stealing on tbe l * t of May , 18 i 7 , within the jurisdiction ofthe Central Criminal Conrt , two rings , value £ 40 the property of Sir John Hare . r
The accused pleaded not guilty , with a firm and marked expression of voioe , and the _jurywere then sworn . . . Mr Clarkson and Mr Bodkin _conduoted the prosecution . The defence was intrusted to Mr Ceokbu ' rn and Mr Ballantine . Mr Clarkson , opened the oaie to _thejury , Ahd tha following evidence was adduced : — .- ; ' Sir John Hare examined by , Mr Bodft ' ir ,. I reside at tbe Royal Crescent at Bath , and was formerly a merchant at Bristol . I became acquainted with tha prisoner in tha early part of 1816 . She was then Miss Tpdhuntw , and her mother was married to a Polish count—Count Grabinski . I _renewed my ac _quaintanoe with them at _Parii , in January ; 1847 ,
ana returned to England myself in that month , and returned to Paris again in about two months . Tha prisoner and her mother were still staying at Paris , but left the day after I arrived , and I went back to London a few days afterwards , and saw the prisoner and her mother at St John's Wood . A t tbis period I saw the Baron St Mart , the prisoner ' s husband , and I understood at that time they were about to be married , but tbat the ceremony wonld riot take place until some papers were received from Paris . I invited tbe prisoner , her mother , acd tbe Baron to visit me at Batb , and they accepted the invitation ahd arrived at my honse on the 24 th nf April , 'and remained until the 29 ! b . On the 20 th we all dined together , and after dinner I had oooasion to open my
desk to write some letters , and while I _waaeo encaged the prisoner , her mother , snd the baron , were sitting in the drawing-room . I took out of my desk : a casket , from which I took a ring , and placed it on my finger . It was a diamond ring , and I was in tha habit of wearing it wben I was going to a party , which I was going to do tbat evening , Tbe prisoner asked me to let her look at the ring , and I took it off and gave it to her , and she placed it on her finger _, and ashed me what I had got in another casket that WAS lying en the desk . I then took another ring front that casket and handed it also to the prisoner . This ring waa so small in the gold part tbat I could not get it over the first joint of roy little finger . I told her it was the late Lady Hare ' s ring , and the
prisoner remarked that she must 4 § ve bad a very small finger . I was going away to the Post Office , andthe prisoner said 'Iwill keep these rings . ' I tild her I set a high value upon them , and req pes ted her to return them ; to which ebe replied , ' No : I will keep them . I pressed her to give ( htm back to me , and she repeatedly refused _, and said she would keep them , but assigned no reason fer doing bo , and I went oat , leaving tha rings in ber possession , the prisoner's intended husband accompanying me to the Post Office , and on to the party which I was to attend . I got borne abont twelve o'clook at night , and Baw the prisoner but I did not say anything more to her abont the rings on that occasion , or at any time before the prisoner and her mother left en the Thursday . I
was engaged in the interval by having a laree party , and visitors who came to my bouse , acd I did not think of the rings until they had left tbe house . Tha prisoner was married to the baron on tbe lst of May , and I was invited to the wedding , and drove to their honse in Thayer Street . They were at dinner when I arrived and joined tbe party . During the dinner the prisoner left the table , and as she was going out of the room , I asked her to bring down my rings . I spoke in a low tone of voice , and sbe made no answer , bat went up stairs , and was absent about five minutes . When she came down , Bhe said tome , ' What did yon say .- " I said , 'Bringdown my rings . ' She replied , ' I hava not got them . ' I then appealed to tha countess ber mother , and a scuffle—words I
meanensued , and I left the hoose . We bad bigh words about the rings before I left : After leaving the house I went to _^ a relation of mine , named Fleay , and ho accompanied me to the prisoner ' s house on the following morning . I remained in the street while he went in , and when he came out he made a communication to me . Late the same evening I myself went to the prisoner ' s house , accompanied by Sir Alexander Dowcie and Mr M'Kinnnn , and I saw the prisoner her mother , and the baron . I again demanded tha rings , and tbe mother , 1 think , said , they had not got them , and the Baren came towards me to fores me out of the room . 1 immediately went to the polios court at Marylebone , but no magistrate being present , I was unable to make a complaint . I went to tha _hsuse in Thayer Street , on the following Monday , and ascertained tbat the prisoner and bar mother and husband had left England for the continent . In Julv
following I again met the prisoner and her husband at Boulogne , aad I had a communioatien with the prefeot of p » lice , npon the subjeot of the _rings § I _heardnothing more of my property until I received some information from a sergeant of police on the 8 th November , at my residence in Bath . I immediately came up to London , and saw the police sergeant , and gave him a description ef the rings , and took the ne * cessary _Bteps to have the prisoner taken into custody , and was present when she was arrested , and her mother who was with her said that I was mad , and the polioeman was my keeper . ( A laugh ) The prisoner , herself , implored me to let her go , and said , ' P / ay , Sir John , forgive me ; do let me go . ' The prisener was subsequently taken before the magistrate , and after two or tbree examinations was committed for trial . I consider my riogs were worth £ 40 apiece .
_Cross'sxammed : I retired frem business abont ten years ago . I believe 1 first became acquainted with the prisoner's mother in 1815 , when she lived in Brunswick Terrace . I met the prisoner and ber mother at Boulogneia 1816 . I went to Boulogne in 1815 . Mr Cockburn ; That was rather an awkward year to go to Boulogne in . ( A . langh . ) Cross examination continued : I continued in France for Borne time , and I met them again in Paris . Tbey invited me to call and see _thsm , and I dined at tbe same boarding-house five or six times . I did not do so for tbe sake of tbe ladies' sooiety , bnt for the sake of the company . I lent thsm my carriage once or twice . I don't know that I recommended a particular-sort of wine to _theyonng lad ; for hor complaint ,
I was myself recommended to drink a particular sort of wine , and I may have advised the prisoner to drink some of the same sort of wine . I gave ap my apart " ments to the prisoner and her mother , and went to live at the top of the house myself . I did not express any regret when the prisoner and her mother left Paris , and I oannot say whether I did not are them both at Boulogne on the following morning . I started off for Boulogne the same night the prisoner and her mother went away , and travelled all night , bnt I do aot _recollsot tkat the ladies expressed their astonishment at seeing me . I do not recollect telling a gentleman at Boulogne I had been to see two ladies off by the steamer , or that he replied , ' What 1 is that the young lady you are so sweet upon ? ' ( A laugh . ) While
we weie at Pans , before this , I and the _prisoner's mother gave a ball , but I don't tbiok I paid half the expenses . I sent in a dozen of wine . ( A laugh . ) Mr Cockburn : What , ofthe precious wine ycu wera talking about ? ( A laugh . ) Witness : le ? . — . Waa that all your contribution to the entertainment ? No ; I sent in some things from tha confectioners . —> What , some tarts , I suppose ? Tes , some things of that sort . ( Renewed laughter . ) I remember meet * _itiK a lady and gentleman named Pennington at the prisoner ' s house , and I was invited to a ball at thcL * honse . I danoe very frequently . ( Laughter . ) lam about sixty years old . — -Are you sure it is not sixty five ? No , I am not sixty-five . —Not sixty-two—are you sure ? Well , far the sake af saying something , I
will say I am _eixty-feur . ( Renewed laughter . ) Cross-examination continued : I would not ait down to breakfaBt an til the young lady oame dewn . That is the _oustoaa in my honse . I cannot reoollect whether I ever placed a bouquet of -Sowers , and a copy of verses on the youag lady ' s plate . I may have done so but 3 really oannot _recolleot . I think it is very likely that I placed Bowers on her plate , and I won't swear X did not place verses on her plate also . I tbink it was very likely I oalled her 'Missy . * ( Laughter . )) 2 don't know thai 1 used to call he * MigBy in my _poetical effusions . 5 bave written a tern verses . The rings were in two- separate caskets . 1 very seldom wore the larger diamond ring , and caly did so on sob especial occasions . I did not call tha attention ef the prisoner aysalf to tho rings , and aay , ' Look hare MisBy , here-is a beautiful diamond . ' I had the ring with me whea I was at Paris , and I haven * donbt tbat 1 wore it when I was there . The Baren St Mart waa _gsetent on the 2 ( hh of April

I opened my desk on that day , and finding my rings missing , I immediately went to London , I did not say anything about the rings between tha Monday and Friday , because it did not occur tome —But you were going at the party on the same night engaged in preparing for the place on the following day . to provide for the dinner .
