NOTICE . Ever since the use of the Government stamp to newspapers became optional , and two prices have been necessary , it does not seem to be clearly understood lhat unstamped papers can be delivered to regular subscribers in th « great provincial cities with a very trifling addition , and in some cases at the same price as charged in London . In order that the Leader may in no instance be charged more than Sixpence , cash or prepaid , the proprietors have determined to settle the prices , on and after this date , as follows : — Unstamped , FIVEPENCE . Stamped , Sixpence . Quarterly , unstamped . £ 0 5 s . 5 < L ¦ -, stamped •••!> 0 6 6 Yearly ( prepaid ) , stamped 1 6 0 Unstamped , per year , prepaid , ONE GUINEA . Arrangements will . be . made icil / i present Subscribers . These terms , it is hoped , will meet the approbation of the large class of Traders and General Readers , to which the LEADER ( greatly increased in size ) appeals by its special attention to COMnftSRCIAL as well as to LITERARY and POLITICAL AFFAIRS .

Trial And Sentence Of M. De Montalejvi B...
TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF M . DE MONTALEJVI BE RT . Wherever freedom of thought is cherished , or the value of its unfettered utterance is felt and known , the recent proceedings against M . do Montalembcrt will excite mingled sentiments of wonder and indignation . Tliat in a civilised country like Francea country which , under various forms of rule , has long enjoyed the freedom of historical and speculative discussion , —a statesman and a scholar should be summoned before a police-court , tried summarily on a charge of constructive treason , and condemned by its removable judges' to pecuniary fine and
imprisonment for the period of six months , sounds m the ears of a free people like an incredible tale . Two hundred years ago there were trials in England for political offences , where tho highest and best men in the laad were involved . Many of tlje charges against them were trumpery and baseless , and many of the proceedings wore harsh , oppressive , and unfair . England was still without a settled constitution . The Crown and the aristocracy had alternately borne sway j but an educated and enfranchised people could not bo said to exist . Bill of Jiiffhts tljero was none ; irremovability of judges there was none : supremacy of the power of
Parliament there was none ; and public schools and public journalism were undreamed of at tho time . Vet even in the days of the Stuarts such a mockery of a trial as that which took place on "Wednesday last in Paris would have been impossible . When Hampdcn , and Sidney , and Russell stood at the bar far com-, passing and contriving the overthrow of arbitrary government , the bar at which they were arraigned was that of a court of tho highest jurisdiction ; tho judges who preside ^ there , whatever may have ueon their failings , were tho highest judicial functionaries in tho realm ; the guilt or innocence of the accused was determined by tho verdict of a jury ; and , above all , tho trial was conducted with
every circumstance of publicity . But what have we now ? In the midst of the nineteenth century in the centre of Paris , with the eyes of all Europe fastened on the illustrious accused , we behold one of . the most accomplished , most eloquent , most conservative , and most religious men in France summoned , like a pickpocket or a cut-throat , before a divisional police-court , whose very size precludes all notion of publicity , and admission to which for the few who can gain it , is conditional upon their rigid abstinence from all intenfs to publish what transpires therein ; and then , after a few hours' investigation , during which an inferior
agent of criminal justice briefly recapitulates the charge , and . in which not a tittle of evidence is given of guilty intention or guilty tendenev , without the intervention of a jury , the accused is condemned , and sentenced to incarceration . It is indeed a mournful , and we fear we must add a monitory , aggravation of the horror and disgust such a spectacle is calculated to produce , that the abominable law under which M . deMontalfimbertwas indicted originated in an Assembly chosen by universal suffrage . It was meant , no doubt , by its authors as a dagger for self-defence in case the chief magistrate of the republic should suddenly be assailed : but however meant , it was an
unworthy and a fatal weapon , and it has now been wrested by the destroyer of all liberty to his own vindictive purpose . We think little , we confess , of the special pleas set up by MM . Berrver and Dufaure , upon the ground that not having been re-enacted Under the Empire , the law of 1849 must be considered as having expired . An advocate is bound to raise every point his ingenuity cau suggest on behalf of his client ; we are far from impeaching , therefore , the discretion which raised the ¦ quibble in question . But quibble , after all , it nuibt be held to be . If no
law is binding on society hut that which lias been formally re-enacted on the hu > t change of dynasty , the best part of legal security to property , liberty , and life- would , in ' nearly all old countries , disappear . The implied covenant which every new Government accepts , is to respect all the laws and usages it finds previously existing , and which have not been specifically and distinctly annulled . The converse of this proposition is . . anarchy sous Ic masque . But , admitting frankly that the short-sighted and arbitrary law of IS 1-9 was , ami is still , in full force and effect , the world will unhesitatingly braud the iudement of Louis Napoleon ' s subordinate and
removable police magistrates with the stigma of illegality and injustice . Stupid and blind as the law of 1840 may be deemed by us , it was notoriously aimed at unlawful conspiracy against tiic duel ot the State . It was directed against the surreptitious use of means which , if used openly , would not have been dangerous , and against I lie attempt to subvert by the public misuse of ordinary moans the guarantees for order and law . And t liis law was passed when thought and speech were free , when a National Assembly were sitting , and an c ^ p ^ . i " " was elected by the people and responsible to tl em . w ., 1 . ! iv . i \ f A ..
