      Prance. The Independance Beige Says It H...

      PRANCE . The Independance Beige says it has received a letter from Paramaribo , giving an account of the escape of 12 French political convicts from the He de la Mere . The letter is written by Eiboulet , one of the escaped . They were at first cast into prison by the Dutch authorities , who thought they were ordinary convicts . Upon an examination they were liberated , and

      they speak highly of the treatment they hhve received at the hands of the Dutch . The Dutch governor l & d assured them they would not be given up to the French , but he presence of the French steamship Voyageur in the road of Paramaribo caused them some anxiety . They had applied for protection to the English authorities of Demerary , and to those of the United States . The following are the names of those who have escaped :-

      —Sebastian Riboulet , Jules Reusse , Joseph Biolet , Gilbert Billiard , Louis Lemaitre , Adrian Tournaire , Joseph Brulat , Pierre Isseri , Henri Miaille , Louis Cadene , Jacques Barthelemy , Siol . An address is now in course of signature at Nantes praying the Pope that he will yield to the wishes of the French people and come to France to crown Louis Napoleon Emperor of the French , and thus sanction by religion a power which has arisen from the unanimous acclamation of France . "

      THE POLITICAL TRIALS AT COLOGNE . This monster process drags along day after day , with little prospect of an early termination . We have already given an outline of the indictment . The following is the evidence of the principal witness , M . Stieber , councillor o f police at Berlin : — " In the spring of ls 511 was sent to London where the Great Exhibition was to be opened , with a number of Prussian police agents , to assist the English police in the work o f sw * veillance' My mission to London had no political object , the

      English government having invited each state to send police agents over , on account of the great expected influx of strangers of all nations . While I was occupied at London the president of police at Berlin sent me word of the arrest of the tailor Nothjung , which was effected at Leipsic on the 10 th of May , with the copies of the papers found at his residence . These papers established the fact that Notbjung was the emisary of a very extensive political conspiracy , having its seat for the moment at Cologne , hut the centre of which was in London ;

      and as I was in that capital I was directed to institute an investigation on the spot . My attention was particularly called to the archives of the association , which , according to the papers found at Nothjung ' s domicile , were in the keeping of a political refugee , by birth a Nassovian , named Oswald Dietz , and residing in London . I was told also that this man possessed all the correspondence of the members of the society . Upon receiving this information I bethought me of a man who had waited on me soon after my arrival , spoken of the communistic

      tendencies o . the refugees in London , and offered himself as my agent , an offer which I had declined , not being then occupied with "business requiring such services . I sent one-of my employes to this man with a message , and received for an answer that he could easily get me the papers I wanted , as anything was to be had from the communists for money . I returned from London via Paris to Berlin , whither important business connected with my office called me . Shortly afterwards , on the 5 th of Aug ., I received the papers from London . They

      formed a packet of about sixty original donuments and letters . I then saw what I had neverbefore able been to believe—namely , that there had existed a long time , and indeed several years before the year 1848 , the network of a workmen ' s conspiracy , having ramificacions all over Europe , and directed systematically from London , and that the present revolutionary party had the most intmate organic relations with all parts of Germany and France . Among the papers thus obtained will be remarked the statutes of the Communist Association , dated

      London , December 8 , 1847—resolutions of a congress held in 3851 , at London , settling the procedure to be observed before , during , and after a revolution , which it had agreed to make in 1852 ; a proclamation by the central authority , intended for the directing circles , and destined to be addressed to them in the spring of 1852 , and three reports of the directing circle of Belgium , dated Brussels Jan . 19 , Feb . 16 , and April 2 , 1851 . From these documents it results , that at that epoch the association was completely organised at Cologne , Berlin , Hanover , Brunswick , Frankfort , Hamburg , Leipsic , Stuttgart , Brussels ,

      vevviers , Liege , Lyons , Marseilles , Geneva , St . Gall , Chaux de Fond , Berne , Dijon , Strasbourg , Valenciennes , Metz , Basle London , Algiers , New York , and Philadelphia . The letters compromise about a hundred persons as members of the association , but it is easy to see that there exists a very large number of unknown adherents . One of . the most important results of these letters is , that wherever the association exists , in members have under their influence workmen ' s unions , singing clubs , gymnastic unions and other apparentl y harmless societies . The statues of Dec . 8 , . 1847 , expressly state that the association was founded in February , 1840 . "

      During the examination of the chief of the Hanoverian police it came out that the parties incriminated had been in the habit of sending their despatches to and from London and Hanover by the hands of the King of Hanover ' s courier , who was in their confidence .

      The West ^Loucestenshiiie Riots.—Yesterd...

      The West ^ LoucESTEnsHiiiE Riots . —Yesterday the trial of the body of men charged with rioting at Bridge-gate , Gloucestershire , on the occasion cf the late contested election , beating the police , obstructing the voters on their way to the poll , and extorting money by intimidation , came on before the Gloucestershire Court ° of Quarter Sessions , and excited intense interest throughout the county . On the Bench and in court were the Hon . Grantley Berkeley , the successful candidate ; there was a numerous attendance of magistrates . The prisoners arraigned , and against whom true bills were found , were twenty-one in number . They all pleaded "JNbfc Guilty . " Agieat number o f witnesses were produced and examined , buUhe trial had not termbate'l when our parcel was despatched at 5 o ' clock .

      The Birmingham Corporation and the Duke op Wellington . —At a meeting of the town-conncil of Birmingham , held on Tuesday , it was resolved that it was not desirable to tate part in the funeral ceremonies of the illustrious deceased , hut that the inhabitants be desired to close their shops on the day of interment .

      The West ^Loucestenshiiie Riots.—Yesterd...

      POLICE . Running off to the " Diggings . "—At the Mansion House , George Brown , one of the runaway visitors to California , was charged before Alderman Hooper with having deserted from the Bombay ship , now on her voyage from San Francisco to Java , having " signed articles to navigate the vessel to these ports and home . Mr . Edward Lawson , of Rotherhithe , sole owner of the

      Bombay , Aaid he had engaged the defendant after the vessel had been supplied with her crew , as an extra hand , on the same terms as all the rest . At San Francisco the defendant , and 15 other seamen o f the 18 of which the crew consisted , ran away to the digcings , and the expense to which the vessel was . put , in consequence of such cruel abandonment , amounted to not less than 1 , 280 / . Alderman Hooper said the case was one of the worst he had heard , and he had been present at a great many bad exhibitions of the kind , and he sentenced the defendant to the

      heaviest punishment he could indict—a punishment much lighter than the offence—imprisonment and hard labour for 12 weeks . —Another seaman was ! convicted of having deserted the ship Hashemy , at Port Adelaide . He also was sentenced to 12 months hard labour , j Indecent Assault . — -At Bow-street , William Leigh , the keeper of a penny showjin High Holborn , was charged with indecently assaulting a child named Elizabeth Maddox . The little

      girl was the daughter of a linen-draper next door . She ran into the prisoner ' s rooms after a younger brother , with , whom she was at play , and the prisoner took the opportunity of committing an indecent offence . He desired her to say nothing to her father , but she told her sister immediatelvlon her return home . Mr . Henrv committed him for trial for the assault , consenting to take bailhimself in £ 80 , and two sureties of £ 40 each . The prisoner was sent to prison in deFanlt .

      Discovery Of A Murder.—A Short Time Sinc...

      Discovery of a Murder . —A short time since the body of a young girl was discovered in a pond in the commune of Nesselrode , Bois le Due . When found her clothes were tied over her head , on which several severe wounds had been made with a heavy instrument . Suspicion f alling on a young man named Beauts , by whom the girl was pregnant , he was arrested , but positively denied being lhe author of the murder . He was brought into the worn where rhe post mortem examination of the body was being made , and remained perfectly unmoved while the various tools which lie used in his trade as a mason

      and maker of wooden shoes were applied to > the wound , in order to ascertain whether they had been inflicted by them . At length , however , on ^ one of the persons present , taking a gun , in order to try whether the hut-end of ifc had been the installment used in the murder , he became agitated , and said— " Promise to treat me humanely , and I will confess all . " He then avowed that lie was the author of the murder ; that he had enticed the young girl into a wood in- order

      to talk . with her relative to their marriage , and that he had there killed her by blows on the head with the butt-end of his gun . He then , he said , returned to the village where he lived , and proposed marriage to a young giii of . whom he was fond , but she refused him , and he afterwards returned to the spot where he had left the body , carried it on his shoulders , and threw it into the pond where it was found . —G-alignani .

      Another Railway Accident near Newark . —An accident , which might have been attended with the most fearful consequence occurred on the Great Northern line at Balderton , near Newark , on Tuesday last , the particulars of which were as follows : —h appears that a ballast engine which proceeded with a number of waggons , loaded with stone , from a quarry near Balderton to the Newark ' station ( a ^ number of men . riding on the up for the purpose of unloading ) , and on being shunted from the top to the down line , the engine , which was going at a rapid speed , met with a sudden repulse . Owing to the points being out of order , the

      waggons fell with tremendous force upon each other , and the poor fellows cinhe top were hurled to the ground ; most of . them , however , escaping from serious injury . One poor fellow was less fortunate , for his foot was jammed between the duffers of two waggons , and crushed in a frightful manner . The poor man whose name is Metheringtoii , was immediately taken to the Newark Dispensary . As both tines were completely blocked up , signal-men were sent in each direction to stop the trains , several of which were due , and three dov ^ n and two up trains were soon brought to a stand . The passengers , several of whom alighted , were greatly alarmed in consequence of the number of accidents which have

      lately occurred , but ultimately the line was cleared and the trains departed . It is most fortunate that there was not a ' fearful " sacrifice of life , as in addition to the lives of the men on the waggons being in imminent peril , there was great danger of a collision , from several trains being due at the time . TwoPiLoTS Drowned . —On Monday night last , two pilots belonging to Aberdeen unfortunatel y lost their lives under the followin g circumstances . It appears a foreign vessel , was in the bay ,, and the master had come on shore for orders . He was taken out to the vessel again by a crew of five pilots , one of whom preferred to remain on

      hoard another vessel in the bay rather than return . The other four men—all of them relatives , and named Allan—were returning in the boat , the time betwsen 10 and 11 oclock , and it being dark and a swell prevailing , when passing the bar a sea struck the oars heavily , and three of the crew , William Allan , Anthony Allan , his brother , and John , his son , were thrown into the water . The younger Allan , the son , swam till , finding himself among the rocks at the breakwater on the south side , he clung to them for sa f ety ; he was eventuallv thrown on shore by a sea , and saved , after . sustaining some injuries . William Allan held by an oar for a time , and the cries of both him and Anthony were heard on board a vessel in the bay ; but very soon sank . # . . ¦

      . A > iolbnt Hurricane visited PoidteaPitre and Guadeloupe on th 22 d ult . Tbe wind began to blow violently from the north and the north-west at 10 o ' clock , and it increased gradually ; up to half-past 12 , when it became of extreme violence and was accompanied by heavy rain . The roofs of the principal ward of the Military Hospital , of the new church , of portions of the barracks , and of a considerable number of private houses , were partially or wholly carried away . On the 1 lace de la Victoire , large branches of trees were blown down , and for some tune the square could not be passed

      through . On the Place de VE glUe and the quays , trees were stripped of their branches and were uprooted . Three vessels were signalled as about to enter the port , but owing to the violence of the wind thev hadjto run out to sea * One vessel , the Edoward , was cast on a sand bank , and some others sustained injury . No persons were seriouslv hurt . In consequence of the damage to the roof in the Military Hospital a great number of patients had to be removed ; and whilst a sister of charity , attached to the hospital , was hurrying to the chapel to save the sacred vessels she was blown down .
