' * The Chairman hoped they wonld obserre the suae order a ? they *» d d « oe on a former Mason , when Mr . Leeeh and Mr . Roes discussed &e question . He observed the hwojry-was between two parties whose interests asp ideatofied with each ether , tad beaee arose the necitaitj « f adispasBiftB-» te i »*« tyr > tK *; andthatquettka wtftfr « % « Wty * . Ktt to be most important , shottld ^ ip | RS » entire attention of the workmgr elaaiea . He then remarked , that when the lart disfcusstou took p laoe , tbe League , finding Mr . Leech had onset all lisarjjameate , were ashamed of Mr , Kok as their Ban , » nd denied'any connection with him , bat that would be preheated en the present occasion , because
Mr . Finnigan came forward as the avowed advocate of the Corn Law League . The arrangements were , that each should epeak half an hour in opening , and , after that , be allowed a quarter of an hoar each . He hoped they wonld show neither approbation nor dissent froai tbe speakers , but woala give eaoh a candid hearing . He did not think it necessary to pat a motion to that effect . Some person from the body tf the ballened out , pat it , " which was done and carried unanimously . One remark he would jost hazard , and it was this ; that an union of the middle and labouring classes was necessary to carry any ohjeet ; and behoped to see the day when he should me them united for eDe object , namely , to benefit , led advance the interest of the industrious classes . He then introdneed Mr . Finnigan to the meeting .
Mr . FuntlGAh said , they were met certainly on a sort important qowtiom . In order to arrive at just oenclaaons , the subject should be treated plainly asd he had undertaken to prove that a repeal of the Corn Laws , nnder the present ramifications and sraagements of society , would be a benefit to the workiag classes . H « had now come forward to reeeem that pledge . The first question he Bhonld aak was , Were the Com Iawb a monopoly f' And if fiwy wbtb , Who vrere robbed by such monopoly H Hb came forward to prore th « h was the industrious classes that were the sufferers . He said that fl » T must take ftcte as their guide . He would go tack and take his stand upon Radical eiDerienefe .
It was said that the Corn Laws were enacted for tfo parpose of benefittbg the agricultural labourers n England . Hfr then went on to Bhow ' that infteadsf doing so , it had reduced farmers to Jateorerg , and labourers to paupers , or at them into the manufacturing districts to » Bpete with the cotton hands . That it had j estroyed the small &rms by making them into arge ones , and grren them to persons totally ¦ " fSpauited with agriculture . He then referred to "Cobbett ' s Begirter , " to show tiiat tax-eateTB Bd penaoners upon the public purse were the oarfiwpar ^ lariy Wefitted by the com monopoly . tit referred to the _ price of grain in 1814 . and
• oserrea tbat it fell from 106 s . Sd . to 72 s . Id . jbt quarter- . The year following , farmers were TOned by the fall , and the Cern Laws were passed fer the purpose of preserving their estates . He am read a lon / fextraet from Lord Malmesbary m fee Com Laws , asserting that the low price of gnin hindered the fanners from erring employment » labourers— that Cobbett attributed it to tithes ad taxation—and that the law was passed to take B 8 money from the artieaas by way of taxation in the shape of a Corn Law . Manufaetoers , it mi « ht be said , would injare tbe working classes ; but he wonld refer them to Bland where there were no maoafactnrers , and neh was the poverty of the people there that all the voeles which titey produced were mortgaged three years before , in order to meet their rents- ¦ He tolaasaia
u » me labourers were only getting on an werage from 6 d . to la . 4 d . per day , the manager in tie tan-yard « nly received the latter sum . He then feted , that while wages were bo low . and the people taring , Irish prodnce was sent to England to the taw of twelve millions sterling . The speaker then referred to some tables , shewing the decrease in the piee of different articles in tbe weaving department , and attributed the fall in the price of ihose Rides to-the operation of the Corn Laws , preventag a fair exchange of British manufactares for aeign grain . This closing of the foreign market h ad ten the cause of all the misery produced in the toukctarag districts ; and a repeal of die Corn uws would , consequently , benefit the artisans and aad-loom weavers , by epenirg those markets " iieh ti » e Corn Laws had closed .
Mr . Lkech then came forward , and said be had «« Etsdyicg for the last fire minntes which part of opponent ^ speech to begin with . He admitted « t the whole of his argnments would have been in »« in the House of Commons , but denied that « w& beginning to end he had introduced one single Spment to prove any benefit to the working classes . He wonld-grre him credit for calling it a wicked aw , * ad he agreed with him that it was a most dis-Pwfalliw ; but that was not what he was come ¦ aher for . The question was , whether the repeal *» la be a benefit to the working classes , or whether w p eople , as they had been by the Reform Bill , * onW be completely dnped . That bill was to do a
fft * $ amount of good , bat it had not conferred one « # e benefit on the people at large . ( Hear . ) at then referred to the competition of macni-** 7 i . and observed that had it not been for a * laanense productive powers of machinery , * f 4 oya » ent might have been had for the whole « the labouriag population of England . He «« i asked his opponent if ii were possible for the «» n erei * l interests of England to progress at a ¦ " » » pid rate than they had dona for the last forty ** " *• * a that time oar powers had increased 700 * «« per e * ui ., while the wages of our labouricf « o * d decreased « least 300 per cent . He then I ®» r Ked , * Jiat dear and cheap were relative terms .

Th * t was the ^* ihi ; and until his op ponent could show th&t a . |* P ^ of the Corn Law wuuld give such an impetus ^ M « aB w ould enhance the wages of the working ?»» his arguments would go for nothing .

bJ ^ L ™" . GA * »» d that hie opponent at the begionng of his speech had told them that he had not wodueed an argument to substantiate his position . D ^ be ^ ot proretkat it was in consequencVof the Com Laws durt aU the beet . of the ^ roTisions were sent out of Ireland to be consumed m this country « -k ; vti . ¥ V J ° / that U ™ 8 the Corn Laws ' lKT ? r «^ S f 1 *™* * ° » panper t and tb&t the landlords spent the laoney in Rome , and at the gmbw tables in Won ; and which kept the peopte from enjoying the blessing of peaJe and plenty by keeping a Bet of Bcorpions ! Had Mr . Leech disproved this ! No ! he never as much as bunted at it ; but instead ef refuting what ha ( M *
* . nnigan ) had said , he began to talk about cotton . He ( Mr . Finnigan ) then said that taxes were raised by the Corn Laws , and that the taxes were squandered away by the parties who stood upon the black list . Mr . F . went to theyear 1814 , and stated the price of grain and the price of labour ; remarking that » piece of cloth gave the weavers 20 s . for making m 1813 and I 814 , and the succeeding year fell down to lls . 6 d . What did this prore ! It went to establish this fact—that while the ports were open , and foreign corn allowed to come in , there was an increased demand for British goods . He tMr . Leech ) had put him up as the advocate of the millowners , and said , that the League WM reed
presentas attributing the enls of this country to a surplus population . He ( Mr . Finnigan ) never keld such an opinion , nor did any of the Corn Law League ; nor was he an advocate for manufacturers , having himself suffered in those hell-holes , as weli as his friend Mr . Leech . He entirely stood upon the merits of the question , and his opinion was , thai if the ports were opes , aad a fair interchange allowed with other nations , our population with twice the number , and Manchester three times as large as it was , the people might find employment . He had said that the Corn Laws repealed would benefit the people . Mr . Leech has undertaken to prove that they would not ; and , in the absence of anything like proof to the contraryhe
, must continue to hold the tame opinions . Mr . Leech sa ! d his opponent at the commence meht of his speech made an assertion , but he had not brought any substantial proof . The reasons for the briskness of trade that took place in the year 1814 , aad the corresponding fall , could easily be accounted for ., The allied armies were jnst entered into Paris . The ignorant manufacturers speculated beyond . their means : hence it was that the 20 * . of 1814 fell to lls . 6 d . in the year 1815 . Inrtetd of an open trade with Europe at tbe entry of Napoleon into France the Beoond time , it , on the contrary , put an end to their expectation , and rain and bankruptcy were the consequence . The speaker then referred to an assertion of hia poonent relative to the
importation of foreign grain giving an impetus to industry . He then stated that Russia bad a population of 52 , 000 , 060 : France 32 , 000 , 000 ; Russia and Austria each 32 , 000 , 000 ; and the smaller States of Germany about twenty-five millions ; and asked if these were to b 9 employed in growing corn for a population of about 24 , 000 , 000 . What the d 1 sort of stomachs must they imagine that the British possessed ? ( Laughter . ) Mr . Leech thea referred to the cut of our own trade from our colonies , and said that the United States were supplying Canada with goods , althongh we were obliged to keep up a large standing army in order to maintain it . Ho then drew a most appalling picture of the factory
system , on the authority of Mr . Greg , late M . P . for Manchester , in which he describes tae factory as the nursery of everything improper for the health , wealth , and morals of the people , and , afttr giving it a proper colouring , asked his opponent whether it was to perpetuate snch an hellith and diabolical , he<h-deetroying systam as this , that he wanted the Corn Lstvs repealed ! Hundreds of these inmates never B&vf a blade of grass grow ; nor were they ever permitted to breathe the freah air , or gaze upon the beauties of nature . Their life tras nothing but toil , porertv , and wretchedness , from the cradle to the grave , tie need not tell the audience before him what it was—they knew it from bodily
experience . ( True . ) Was it , he asked , to perpetuate this Bystem that his opponent wished the Cum Laws to be repealed ! If so , British commerce , and everything that had such a tendency where oar commerca in a great measure curtailed , there wer « 8 , 000 , 000 of acres of land which it had been proved mi ht be brought into a proper state of cultivation , and upon which the people might , by their own labour , produce a great portion of the comfort 3 of life , and likewise improve their physical conditioa , and , at the same time , prevent one man from having hundreds of the lives and liberties of his fellow creatures at his
disposalgiving them employment to-day , and turning them out to perish , for want of the necessaries of life , at a moment ' s notice . This was a power too great for any one man to be in possession of . So long as the population were placed at the mercy of m&uufactorera and cotton lords , the people of this country could never hope to possess anything like a spirit of independence . Mr . Leech concluded this part of hia address by stating , that his opponent had a string of ideas which suited his purpose , and those for whom he was labouring , but he stumbled oa like a blind horse , without a tangible object in sight . ( Laughter . )
Mr . Fissigxx remarked that his friend , Mr . Leecb , h&d likened him to a blind horae without an object . Bnthe was fure that the last Epeaker appeared to be equally so himself , for he could not comprehend any thing which he said at all . At this juncture some one cried out " question ! " and the speaker , apparently in a rage , called upon any one in tbe room to come forward , if they thought they could do better than him—( roars or laaj ^ ateT , -which caused tho Chairman to beg silence . ) Mr . F . thea referred to the price of erain in the year 1835 , and said , that vrith wheat 39 s . 4 d . per quarter , the weaver ' s wages had risen from 4 s . to 53 . 6 d . per cent . He then Etated that the increased price of grain , and decreasing price of labour , had been such , that the
vreaver could only get as much grain for foar pieces of cloth now as he could in 1835 ; the whole of the diminished price of labour did not go into the pockets of the manufacturers , but into thoee of tbe csrn monopolists . Mr . F . then took up his time in reading from Cobbclfs HepUter , ( while the people were saying he was completely worn out ) ia order to shew that the continued Corn Laws were the prop of the National Debt , and that a reduction of the iaterest « f such debt could only be reduced by a repeal of the Corn Laws . Ho likewise said tba " . it ¦ would reduce the fnnded debt and tho taxes . In Bolton , there were 50 , 000 spindles standing , and the . men refused to let their wives go into the mills . He attributed the stagnation of trade to tho corn monopoly of the landlord .
Mr . Leech then tosb for the last time to reply , and said , that his opponent had read lengthily from Ccbbett to- shew the bad effects of tbo Corn Laws , but he had said nothing about tho profit-mongers . New the Government had 2 s . 6 d . in tbe pound , and the landlords 4 s . 6 d ., while the profit-mongers were going away -with 7 s . 6 d in the pound . He had told told them that he bad despised the landlords as much as tbe cotton lords . He was not a friend to landlords ; he thought they were a base set , and that it was betwixt these two thieves the people were crncified . It became the duty of the labouring classes to
examine for themselves , how far they were to be benefitted . The Corn Laws were bad , he would admit ; bat they were not the cause which stood between them and prosperity , and he wondered how any one could thiak that the repeal wonld benefit the workers , so long as the maetws were redocing their wage * already . The reped mast mean- ( if it meant anything ) to bring down wages ; and so long as the masters had the exclusive power , they would make use of it for that purpose , without rendering any improvement in tbe condition of &e working classes . £ hey were already taking not only the bread bat t& 9 . fiteti £ ing , and many ether BOftSSSft "

LORD CARDIGAN'S DUEL WITH CAPTAIN TUCKETT . Monday being the day fixed for the re-appearance of Lord Cardigan and Captain Douglas before the Wandaworth Bench of Magistrates , the little Court in Church ^^ J ™ l > e 6 i ^ ¦* *** ^ riy hour by the " press" and the friend * of the parties . Before ten o ' clock the magis » tr&tee had assembled in their private room , and at that hour Mr . Adolphus , who appealed as eonaael for bis Lordship , attended with Mr . Broderip , his Lordship ' s solicitor . Captain Wainwright , the second , and BeTeral frienda of Captain Tuckett , were also present At halfpast ten Lord Cardigan , Captain Douglas , bis second , and J . Anderson , arrived . In a few minutes the four magistrates , Mr . NotUdge , Captain Page , Mr . Wilson , and Mr . Bainbridge , enterec the Court . Shortly afterwards .
Mr . Adolphus said that he appeared for Lord Cardigan , bnt he answered so far for Captain Wainwright as to say , if there was any charge against him , he was ready to appear to answer it Mr . Fletcher ttbe magistrate's chief clerk ) read over the evidence previously taken before the magistrate * . Some further « vidence was then given , and a note was put in from Mr . Busaln , the police inspector , stating that tbe piatola bad been examined by a Mr . Field , Mr . Parker , who had been applied to , being nnwelL HLb statement wa » , that Captain Tuckett ' s piatola were of the commonest kind « t duelling pistols , but that Lord Cardigan ' s were of a superior manufacture , with hair triggers , and rifled from within about an inch of the muzzles .
Lord Cardigan here took up tbe pistols , and showed the Bench that they were not hair triggers , which it was ea « y enough to discover ; and his Lordship continued to say that he had bought them of Mr . Manton as common duelling pistols , and knew nothing more kbeutthem . Iftheie was any doubt about it , why not have the maker himself there , who would say that they were like every other brace of pistols which he sold The Noble Earl continued with vehemence , " No one would ever think of going out to fight a , duel witb hair
triggers . " Mr . Adolphos—Except Lord Lowther and Mr . Sen . Wbittaker— [ a laugh ) . Lord Cardigan complained that the statement relative to tbe pistols would convey a Tery unfavourable impres sion upon the public mind if not contradicted—namely that be went out to fight with hair triggers and rifle pistols . Inspector Biuain was then questioned "whether he had anything to add to his former testimony , bat gave no additional evidence that was xuateriaL Mr . Notticlge wished to ask Captain Douglas whether the pistols were examined by the seconds ? Captain Douglas—They were loaded by myself and Captain Wainwright I looked st the barrels to ascertain whether they were rifles or not , and satisfied myself they were not
This being tbe close of the case » against I « ord Cardigan and Captain Douglas , the Bench intimated to them that If they had anything to say they -were at liberty to do so . Both his Lordship and Captain Douglas , however , djclined saying anything ; and Mr . Adolphns rose to address the magistrates h their favour . He contended that there wns nothing u tbe evidence to affect them . Capt Tuckett , nod re ceived so trifling a wound that it was of no considers , tion ; and even if he had been killed , it would not have been a case of murder , as there was no intent tc commit murder , and the Act said , " any one who iu < flirted a wound -with intent , " fee . For aU that was proved to the contrary , Lord Cardigan was acting in defence of his own life . He concluded by expressing a hope that the magistrates -would dismiss thB charge ag&iBst his clients . There being nothing , he contended , tinder the statute , -which gave them tae right to interfere .
The Magistrates , after half an hour ' s private deliberation , came to a decision that they must commit Lord Cardigan and Capt Douglas for trial oa the felonious charge . They sl » o resolved to call in Capt Wainwright ; and , after questioning Sir James Anderson as to his presence at the duel , decided that he was also implicated in the charge . Tbe question of bail now arose , and the Bench appeared at first to think that they could not take bail ; bat , after reading a correspondence which the Bench had entered into with . Lord Normanby on the subject , who stated that they could not bind the Earl of Cardigan over in the ordinary way , and that if an indictment was preferred , it must be removed by a ceriiorari , and that his Lordship must be tried by his peers , Mr . Nottidge , the Chairman , said they wen of opinion that the same Act of Parliament wbieh gave them power of committing , gave them power of taking
Lord Cardigan waB then held to bail , himself in £ 2 , 000 and two sureties of £ 1 , 000 each , to appear to answer the felonious charge , " when and where" he might be called upon . Captain Douglas was then held to bail in the same amount as before—namely , himself in £ 500 and two rarities of £ 250 each , to answer the same charge at the Central Criminal Court Bail in both cases -was immediately given by Messrs . Broderip and Moore in the required amounts . Mr . Saxby , of the house of Oliveria and Little , of Leicester-square , hod come down to offer bail to any amount for his Lordship , but his assistance was not required Captain Wainwrigbt ( Mr . Tuckett ' s second ) was also held to ball in the eaxne amounts as Captain Dauglos .

THE FIRE AT DEVONPORT DOCK YARD LATEST INTELLIGENCE . Devonport , September 28 . The fire in the Arsenal was not entirely got under until late last night , aad the engines are now ( half-past eight , Monday morning ) being brought out It is impossible to say the sniouut of damage—certainly not so great as stated in my letter of yesterday , as the Tulavera was on old ship , and the estimate of her wertk if sold by auction—the usual mode of disposing of ships when unserviceable—is notaboTe £ 20 , ao « , though to replace her with a new ship of the same class would be from £ 70 , 600 to £ 80 , 000 . The other vessels must
be estimated in the same way ; but the loss of stores is immense The eheds , covered as they -were with painted and tarred paper , cost from £ 10 , 000 to £ 12 , 000 each ; tho cost , when eovered with copper , is from £ 30 , 000 to £ 40 , 000 each . Tbe granite facings of the docks are split to pieces . The fire was providentially stopped at the very point where the destruction would , have been greatest , as property amounting ia value to upwards of £ 5 , 060 , 000 was deposited in the very building adjoining that where its progress was termina ted . Those best informed are yet disposed to place the act to the account of an incendiary . It is expected that one of the Lords Commissioners of tbe Admiralty will come down to bold a court of inquiry .
The great aoxicty is felt to learn the origin of this calamity . The strongest suspicions are entertained that it was the act * f an incendiary . Bnt At the hour -we write nothing baa transpired to coatirm tliis BUapicion or otherwise . AU that is ascertained is , iaatilr . Spl « s a warrant officer and the Tclavera ' s ship-keepar , was the last man on board in any official capacity on Saturday and he reports that he left the ship about six , w 4 » thn men were leaving the yard for the day .

After the members had paid in thai * weekly eoutribntioBS , and a number of new ones enrolled , the Chairmaa asked Mr . Bnraett , the secretarr , if
he had written to Peter Shorrocks concerning the wiveR and families » f the imprisoned Chartists of Bradford ; and , if he had , whether or no he had received any answer , to which the secretary replied he had wrote bat not received any answer .

Mr . John Leech was called to thechair , and briefly stated the objects of the meeting . A spirited discussion took place between Mr . Enoch Sykes , Mr . Robert Beaumont , and several others , which called forth the following resolutions . Proposed by Mr . M . Beaumont , and seconded by Mr . E . Sykes : —
" . That it is the opinion of this Association , that the plan propounded by the delegates met in Manchester , for the better organisation of the people , is not calculated to have the desired eflfeet they anticipate , for the three following jeaaons : —Firrt—That it must be palpable to every man of common discernment , that to set up a system of centralisation for the better organisation » f the people , must inevitably be a failure ; inasmuch as it must be more natural that the people will obey the dictate * ef tkeir own conscience sooner than an arbitrary or centralising power : and that we
feel satisfied in stating , that unless tha people can unite In their tsvm \ localities , there never can be any unity ot opinion effeotoaUy . Second—That they recognise paid itinerant orators , which i » the wont feature in their plan , as it i « setting up a number of acknowledged leaden , which is rather an inducement tk&n otherwise , for the Government to prosecute . Third—That in our opinion , the corresponding between the secretaries of the Associations is most decidedly Illegal , and the whole of their plan la more likely to retard than forward the cause of Reform .

BARKBLBY . —National Chartbb Association . —We are « lad to perceive that the spirit of Chartism is on the increase in this town , in spite of the Whiga and pretended friends . The members of this body met as usual , at the Railway Tavern , on Monday last , when we had a considerable increase of members . Great disappointment was felt at a letter which was read from George White , of Leeds , who had been engaged to deliver a lecture in thiB town , on Monday next , butt in consequence of the pressing invitations ii t hone 8 t men and bonnie lasses of Scotland , he will be unable to attend for the present . Tbe Chairman then read the resolutions Whichhad been passed by tbe Council on the Sunday , the whole of which were adopted by the meeting . A letter was then read from our brave and suffering fellow-townsman , William ARhton , which creatlv excited the nrnmthv
of the meeting ; and in order to show the hardships that good men have to undergo when hunted by tho blood-hound of terror , the following resolution was unanimously carried : — " That the letter now read be sent to the Northern Star Office , and the editor be requested to insert it in that journal . " We expected a farther accession of members on this occasion , for a certain official and his son were seen to make their way towards our roem ; and whether he is a Radical or not we do not know , but he generally wears a white bat . His heart must have tailed him , if he did intend to join us , for he stood listening at the top of the stairs . The room door being shut , he had his labour for his pains . The business of the meeting being closed ^ , one of our members was ; nst giving us a beautiful recitation , and so , John , it was no go !
National Chaster Association . —The National Charter Association held its weekly meeting , as usual , when the Council administered the pledge , aud delivered cards of membership . The assemblage was very numerous , and it was gratifying to see so many true and worthy members congregated together , for the attainment of their just and Wai rights . They are determined also to use no more exoiseable articles , but those they really cannot do without . They scarcely drink anything but ginger beer , and this sparingly . It is earnestly requested by the Counoil that those who are favourable to tha
Charter will come forward on Monday evening next , and have their names enrolled . There were thirteen new members enrolled on Monday night last . We hope that our townsmen will not neglect their brave incarcerated patriots , who are suffering the tortures of Wakefield prison , nor forget their families . The following resolution was passed unanimously : — "That all persons desirouB of forming themselves into classes can do so by applying to the Counoil , who will give the necessary instructions for carrying their desires into effect . The Council will require the names of such classes upon the formation thereof , for their approval . "

We have received the London journals of Friday They are very barren of newB . The following are extracts : — The Eastern Question . —The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle ( Ministerial paper writes as follow * :- * Statesmen here ht « in toweiir longer faces . The positive tidings that the Porte had at once rejected the proposals of Mehemet Au , without a single forei gn envoy ' s dictating to any of the Divan ; with the report that the deeiwon of the English Cabinet Council bad decided on the execution of the treaty , and the probabilitr
or » TUwsiwi . fleet at least getting out of the bound , have filled all minds with anxiety . If aU this news be confirmed , we shall have oounoils here too , discussions , and possibly serious results . I have spoken to you of a war and a peace party in the French Cabinet . M-Thiers , although , in England accounted the great war-spirit * holds , on the contrary , a middle place between colleagues who would tolerate more than he , and ool * leagues who would dare more . Admiral Ronwrin , removed from his Constantinople embassy because he was too hostile to Mehemet , would now risk % ™™« QoUlBIOa # 8 ave k * - Heproposedoneetosend 20 , 000 men to Canada , and he now stronalv eenrara
tne seeping the Frenoh fleet in the waters of Athens ,. instead of having it on the coast « f Syria . M . Ihiere is anxious , on the contrary , to avoid a naval collision . But Roussin threatens to resign : and should he resign , assigning for the cause the inactivity of the French fleet , such an event would precipitate matters , and render the convocation of tha Chambers immediately necessary . I know yon . think , in England , that the French will attempt nothing . I scarcely think they would , if they had ! any hopea of getting honourably but of the scrape . But if the proposals of Mehem « t be flatly rejected , without any hopes of ulterior negotiation , and should anything serious or aggravated ^ take place on the
coast of Syria—both very probable contingencies —I fear you must admit the adoption of * strong measure by the French Cabinet as in the range of possibilities . Admiral LaJande is here . Like ^ ost of the French naval men , he speaks ia friendly and admiring terms of both Napier and btopford ; hut he is at the same time furnishing iImv French Cabinet with various plans of the different enterprises which France might undertake and execute , by way of a set-off to the coercion of Mehemet Ali . Should anything of the kind be intended , it must be done before tho arrival of the Russian fleet , » nd therefore iramediatelv . Tha
rrench will not dare any such thing , you may think * It is better not to be too certain on this head , and to be prepared for tho worst . Pkinck Louis Bconapaete . —The examination of the witnesses at the trial of Prince Louia Buonaparte was resumed on Wednesday at the Court of Feerv * The whole of the remaining witnesses having given their testimony , tho Attorney-General , M .
