An Appeal To The Members Of The N A Tion...
AN APPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE N A TION A L L A ND CO MP A NY IN BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL ELECTION FUND . Mv Fbirsds . —Having become members of the National Laud Company , it is natural for * as to feel a deep and lively interest in all tbat concerns its present and future welfare ; and I do not know how we can better evince eur regard for its prosperity than by responding to the call that ha s been made en behalf of the National Election Fund . Consider , my friends , how much we owe to the Chartist body ; it ia to them and to its leaders that we have now the prospect of becoming landowners , and as such , how much interest
more our will be enhanced by having in the Commons' House of Parliament au array of men , who would watch over our interests and guard them from the attacks of self-interested men ! Allow me , my friends , to suggest a plan to you , the adoption of which , I feel assured , would in time most successfully secure tons those blessings , that would naturally flow from civil and religious liberty . I would call upon every member of oar Company to unite themselves to the National Registration and Election Committee : —in the first place , by the immediate payment of ls . each tothe fund ofthe said Committee . Secondly , I suggest a continued payment of 2 d . per week each . We are in numbers more than 18 _. C 00 , and union is strength , for by the first subscription
should have more than £ 900 to start with , and by thc second we should realise a sum of more than £ 75 per week . This may , and this ought to be done . But some of yoa may say we are so poor that w « cannot possibly afford it . Let me beg that you will try not only once but perseveringly . Allow me my friends to ask a question . Are you not in _theconstant habit of using some things that maybe called luxuries , such aa ale , beer , tea coffee , tobacco , snuff . Ac . ? Now , in order that we may obtain those blessings and advantages which we as a civilised people ought to possess , but which havebeen tyrannically stolen from us , let us deny ourselves of two-penny worth or more of these luxuries per week , and devote the sum thus saved to tbe National Election Fund . Were we
* * _° ns jo practise those principles of self-denial , we should be doing no more than what is our duty to do , especially whe n we consider the incalculable amount of good that would thus be effected . Our leaders would , by tbe display of such noble principles , be inspired with greater confidence , and the publio might be enlightened in those principles which we are so anxious they should inculcate . Hitherto as a body we have done nothing in behalf of Chartism-, Jet us not be thus characterised by such ingratitude any longer ; let by-gone * be _by-gones ; but for the future , let us awaken from our _lelhar-sy to a sense of duty . We have enemies great and mighty to combat _whh
—difficulties to surmount—obstacles to throw down —tbe interest of parties and the prejudice of ages to contend with . We may expect to suffer defeat after defeat , but let none of these things drive us from the post of duty , but , on the contrary , let them stimulate us to greater exertion . In order that the above plan be reduced to practice , let me call on all secretaries , sub-secretaries , and officers ofthe National Land Company , to solicit the members in their respective districts to become subscribers to the National Election Fund , and without delay remit the same to the secretary , Mr James Grassby , No . IU , High Holborn , London .
Finally , my friends , let us one and all be united heart and hand perseveringly , until the People ' s Charter , complete in all its points , shall become the law of the land ; we shall then , and not till then , secure to ourselves , our children , and to generations yet unborn , the blessing of civil and religious liberty . I remain , dear friends , Yours most devotedly , A Member or the _Natio ** al _LumCoupAnr _. _Abmon-under-Lyse . —The members of this branch of the Land Company becoming very numerous have agreed amongst themselves , for the convenience of members , to divide , and for this purpose they have taken a room in Dukinfield , at the back of Mr John Harrisons ' s , Old General , top of _Astly-street , to be called the DukiHfield branch . All members desirous of joining the new-formed branch are requested to
give in their names next Sunday , July 18 th , at the above-named place at 2 o ' clock in the afternoon , and all paid-up members in arrears with their levies are particularly requested to attend and see the same paid , so that they may be returned eligible for the approaching ballot . Blackburn * . —At a bumper meeting of the Land Company held in the Temperance Hotel , Whallcy ' s Bank , last Sunday night , resolutions were passed expressive of indignation at the annoyance caused Mr O'Connor by factious grumblers , and of perfect confidence in that gentleman and the other directors . Sixty-one new members took out shares , - £ 57 was received for shares , and £ 3 for the Land and Labour Bank . The secretary and scrutineer meet at tbe Temperance Hotel every Sunday afternoon from 2 till half-pa-t 4 ,- to receive deposits and make new members , and from half-past 5 till 8 o ' clock for the Land Company .
BiRssLCT . —A public meeting of the members of the National Land Company was held at Mr Acklam ' s large room , on Monday , July 12 , Mr Peter Iloey in the chair . The letter signed " T . A ., " from Barnsley , and Mr O ' Connor ' s replv , were taken into consideration . Mr Frank Mirfield " read the remarks of Mr O'Connor , and commented in strong terms on the conduct ofthe writer of the anonymous letter . Mr Michael Seagrave proposed the first resolution , and spoke on the public character ot Mr O'Connor , and his family . Mr Luke Hobson seconded it . After some remarks from Mr John Valance , it was put from the chair and carried unanimously . Mr Bane Gill proposed the second resolution . Mr Wm . Stainsby seconded it , and it was also carried . It was then
agreed , that the resolutions be sent to the Star for insertion . 1 st "Resolution : —** That this meeting unhesitatingly proclaims to the world its unlimited confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and deeply regrets that any individual in tbis town should write a letter calculated to convey the possibility of a doubt as to that gentleman ' s integrity , and by means thereof wound the feelings of his friends and admirers throughout the country . This meeting is of opinion tbat it is almost , if not utterly impossible , for Mr O'Connor to act treacherously to the working population , for the following reasons : —firstly , because it is not in his nature to do so ; secondly , because he is the descendant of a persecuted race , whose father was hunted to death , aud his uncle banished for ever from his native land , by brutal tyrants , for taking an active part in tbe cause ol
Liberty ; and thirdly , the cruel and unjust persecu tions inflicted on his family and himself must ever remain uppermost in his mind , and naturally create an irreconeileable hatred to the cursed system under which they and him have suffered . " 2 nd Resolution : — " That having _reafi the letter in the Nortfwra Star of Saturday last , signed ' T . A ., ' this meeting considers it its bounden duty to make known to the members aed friends of the-Chartist Land Company _, that a more stanch and truer friend and bolder advocate to the cause doe 3 not exist in our ranks than our fortunate _allottee _. Srother Thomas Acklam —that he bad no part or lot in writing the letter , whieh was written by a young man not then a member of the Land Company ; aod this meeting respectfully calls upon the father and founder of the Land Plan , F . O'Connor , Esq ., to take no more notice of anonymous writers . "
Bibuikgsam . —At our usual weekly meeting , at the Ship Inn , on Sunday evening lant , Mr Packer in the chair , the following resolution was unanimously passed : — That we , the members of the Land Company meeting at the Ship locality , having heard Mr O'Connor ' s letter read from last week ' s Stab , beg to thank that gentleman for the care and watchfulness he displays on all occasions , by his defence of the interests of tho working classes from the attacks of a venal and eorropt preBS , and the treachery of designing knaves , who thrive upon the credulity of _t-e peoplo . We have watched closely the conduct of Mr O'Connor , from the first moment of his career in this country , and so satisfied are we with his honesty and integrity , and of the great sacrifices he has
made in the cause of humanity , that we can assure him the members of tbe locality feel truly grateful for the great services be has rendered to the cause of universal liberty , and we pledge ourselves to give him all the support in onr power in carrying out his glorious objects , Mr Alfred _Fussell was put in nomination by the members meeting at the Ship , as a fit and proper person to represent this district in the next Land Conference .

Confession Of A Murder Com Amitted Two Y...
CONFESSION OF A MURDER COM aMITTED TWO YEARS AGO . On Wednesday , John Ramsay , a young man of respeotable appearance , was charged before Mr Arnold , upon his own confession , with the wilful murder of Mr Henry Williams . The prisoner was described as a cheesemonger , residing at 1 , Matilda-place , Caledonian-road , Islington . The particulars of the case are that the deceased , formerly an attorney , was in practice in the Customs and Excise , and resided in Constitution-row , St Pancras . About two years and a half ago he had to conduct a case professionally in the Customs , and at its conclusion accompanied some friends to a tavern in Sparrow ' s-
gate , near Tower-hill , where they indulged freely , and tbe deceased left the place . He was afterwards found in the Minories insensible , and bleeding from an injury immediately over his eye , and at an early hour in the morning he was driven up to the door of his residence . He was quite insensible , and saturated with blood , as was also the inside of the cabriolet . He was unable to speak , and after having been put to bed , every aid medical skill could render was promptly rendered , but without avail . At the inquest the jury came to no decisive verdict , and left the matter open for future investigation , and up to tbe present time the matter has been involved in mystery . Raloh Rose , 248 G , deposed that on Tuesday
night , about twelve o ' clock , he waB en duty in _Bagnigge-Wells _station bouse when the pr isoner knocked at the door , and requested to speak witb him ; He was drunk at the time . Witness admitted him , and he said he had come to deliver himself up for a murder which he bad committed two years and a half ago . Witness took him into the charge-room , when he said he had hit a man on the head with a stick . He was in his company with another man , named Strickland ; and ever since he had committed the crime he had not been able to rest . He said the deceased ' s name was Williams . Inspector Penny gave confirmatory testimony to the statement made by the prisoner . Mr Arnold . —Have you been to make inquiries in reference to the matter ? Inspector Penny . —I have , your worship , and ascertained that the prisoner ib what he describes himself to be . Iwaspresentatthe coroner ' s inquest on
Mr Williams . I traced Strickland , and he gave evidence before the coroner's j ury . He is no w a prisoner in the Queen ' s Bench Prison . The cabman who drove the deceased home gave evidence that he had taken deceased home from the Minories . Witness added that at 1 o ' clock on Tuesday morning he went into the cell where the prisoner was confined , and inquired whether he wished him to send for any reresbment , and should he send for his wife . The _prisoner was sullen and replied "No , all the world will know it . They know it . " Mr Arnold inquired whether the prisoner ' s wife had been commnnicated with on the subject ? Inspector Penny . —Yes , your worship , she is present . LThe poor wife was in court much affected . ] She had three children . Her husband became acquainted with the deceased , and through him they were brought to ruin and bankruptcy . Her chief support recently had been by taking in washing .
Mr Arnold aBked the prisoner if he wished to say anything to the charge ? He was not bound to say anything . The prisoner declined . Mr Arnold Then I shall remand you for a week . The prisoner was locked up in a state of dejection , when he requested an interview with his wife , who was taken into tbe gaoler's room by Inspector Penny . The prisoner kissed her , and they both shed tears . After a short interval they were separated . Mr Arnold directed Inspector Penny to make every possible inquiry about the extraordinary matter between this and the next examination . „* The prisoner was conveyed to prison in the police van .
Operative Block-Printers. To Toe Editor ...
OPERATIVE BLOCK-PRINTERS . TO TOE EDITOR OF TBE _MORTDEBI * STAB . Sib , —We feel it a duty to ourselves and to the trade at large to lay before the public the strange circumstances which have recently occurred in Manchester and its neighbourhood—occurrences which will have a tendency to seriously injure both thc master and the operative block-printer . You are aware that there has been a disgraceful movement , and a persevering agitation by a small portion of the operatives and some of their employers , forthe purpose of reducing the block-printer ' s prices for his labour .
To explain to the public the circumstances whicii have originated this movement , it will be _necessary to state that , owing to a long-continued depression of the _operatives' condition , a , number of that unhappy claBs have been reduced to the degraded position of -begging leave to work at apprentices' prices 1 Is it not galling in the extreme to think that a body of industrious , hard working men , in the prime of life , possessing health and strength , should sink to the level of apprentices , and forget tbe dignity and respect they ought to have fer themselves as men ? Yet this has actually been brought about . by gome few _shopspushing into the market an immense quantity of low-priced goods and of inferior styles of
patterns produced by apprentices , whilst the regular journeymen have been compelled topntrolethe streets and starve . It appears that a conscientious freling haB deterred some of the employers from putting in practice the reduced list of prices emanating from a self-elected body styling themselves the Operative Blockprintersof the Southern . District ( amere fraction who hare seceded from the general trade , and acting directly in opposition to the great majority ) . Taking orders under each other is the great bane ofthe trade . Competition has reduced the profits of machine work until it is almost at a stand still , and is little if any better than giving change for a shilling . '
. . , ... Sir , it is generally admitted that labour is the source of wealth . Granting this to be true , the labourer is surely entitled to something like a reasonable remuneration , which cannot be the case if his wages are so curtailed , that he cannot procure the comforts and common necessaries of life , or a reasonable subsistence for himself and family ; but it is evident that some masters are determined to reduce wages to the very point of starvation . We have struggled through a difficult season with _provisions enormously dear , and now when there is a prospect of a plentiful supply at a reasonable rate , but surrender
poverty must have no benefit from it , a part of thc reward of labour to satisfy the avarice of the wealthy . Can a country be in a prosperous state when a great portion of tlie industrious operatives arc fluttering in rags and famishing with hunger ? The higher and middle classes make an ostentatious display ofchaiity by the distribution of soup . We seek not charity , we simply ask leave to toil , and reasonable payment for that toil , wbich would enable us to procure all we require , instead of which we aro doomed to linger out a miserable existence .
It has been generally acknowledged that the home market is the most secure and healthy of all others when based on the prosperity ot the labour classes , but by reducing wages to the lowest ebb , we in a great measure destroy that market . It is our bumble opinion that uncontrolled machinery will become thc bane and curse of this country , by curtailing labour and multiplyinK pauperB to such an extent as to clog the wheels of government , from the want of revenue to keep them in motion , for be it remembered that machinery payB no taxes , neither requires food nor clothing . "
Finally , sir , we would fain hope that those masters who have allowed tlieir men to work at prices different to the regular established list , will reconsider this unpleasant subject , and that their sympathising ge _nei'ous feelings will induce them to abandon this dograding system , and thereby do something towards elevating their workmen from their fallen state—beings who are Bunk beneath the _dlfenity of men in putiog thcmBelves on a par with apprentice-boys . —In the name ofthe Committee , We are , Sir , Most respectfully yours , John Smalm . ? , Chairman .

"Union For The Minion." The Central Comm...
" Union for the Minion . " The central committee of the above flourishing institution met on Monday , and following days , for the transaction of general business , T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . * Correspondence was read from different parts of the country , as also reports from the various agents and members of the central committee .
On Wednesday Evening, July 7, Messrs Hum...
On Wednesday evening , July 7 , Messrs Humphries and Shackleton attended a meeting ofthe operative tailors , Poland-street . The meeting was a conversational one , o » the advantages of the Association , and much satisfaction was evinced by the body of tailors , who are . quite enamoured with the superiority of national union over local combinations , and passed resolutions to join the Association , and to agitate the subject in their own trade , with a view of bringing tbe whole of them into the Association . July 12 , Mr Humphries attended the annual meeting of the edge-tool makers , held at Mr Holder ' s , Rodney Inn , Coleshill-street , for the purpose of laying before that body the principles and objects of the National Association . The large and splendid concert-room was crowded to excess .
Mr Wm , Hall was called to the chair , who remarked that they were met to celebrate the fourth annual meeting of their body . He hoped that every member present would pay strict attention to the business which had to be laid before them , and endeavour to cultivate friendly and brotherly feelings , so that , at the close of their proceedings , they might be able to depart to their respective localities with a conviction that nothing had been done to wound the
feelings of a single member of their society . He would not at present trouble them with any further remarks , but proceed to the immediate business of the meeting . After several toasts had been given and responded to , the Chairman said that the next sentiment which he had to submit to them he was certaiu would have the warmest response of every one present , after which he should call upon Mr Humphries , a delegate from the central committee of the National Association , to reply .
The toast was , " T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., M . P ,, and President of the National Association of United Trades . " This sentiment was received with the warmest response , and three times three cheers for the People's representative in the Commons' Honse of Parliament . The Chairman then introduced Mr Humphries , who , on rising , was received with great applause . He said , the gentleman whose health they had then proposed was , in every respect , most worthy of their esteem and gratitude , for his constant and unswer - ving devotedness to the interests of the working
millions—he was in reality the people ' s representative in the House of Commons , and their long-tried friend and advocate , and one who deservedly possessed the entire confidence of the working _poition of- this country ; that confidence had been bard fought for and richly won , by his unwearied exertions to elevate and redeem the working classes . In order that the meeting might fully appreciate the invaluable services rendered by Mr Duneombe to the National Association , he would - -how the origin of that gentleman ' s connection with it , and his continued interest in its progress .
Mr Humphries then gave a brief history of the origin of the Association , the basis upon which it was established , and its adaptation to every class of British operatives ; also , that it was the development of the present advancing spirit of the age ; and at the same time , that it was the only efficient method by which thc working classes could effectually serve their own interests , and resist the aggressions of capitalists upon the rights of Industry . He then went on to show what he conceived to be one of the great , and at the same time destructive , scourges that afflicted and paralysed the energies of the trades of this country—namely , a redundancy of idle hands in the labour-market . And so long as
this was the case , the masters would be in a position to regulate the price of labour as they thought fit . This was obvious ; for if men could not get half a loaf they would get what they could , for a little was better than no bread , and to obtain this they would sell their labour at a less price than their fellow-operatives ; and the object of employers in general is , to get labour as cheap as they tan , so that they are ever ready to take advantage of this state of affairs . But he would ask thera , why was there a surplus amount of labourers m the market ? Was it because they had enough and to spare of the comforts of life ? Why was there a
redundancy of hands among the operative tailors and shoemakers ? Was it because they had plenty of coats and trousers , and 'boots 8 Hd shoes ? It was not—they wanted these articles of wearing apparel ; but on account of the low condition of wages generally they were obliged to dispense with many of these things , and the tailors and shoemakers , in consequence , had no demand for their labour , and thus surplus labourers were thrown into the market . How , then , could this state of things be remedied ? Why , it raifct be by the working classes organizing themselves in a great National Confederation , for the promotion and protection of each other ' s interests ; and by elevating the condition of each other ,
they would be enabled to command more of the necessaries of life , and in doing so would create a demaud for labour , absorb the idle hands , and sweep off with one national stroke that paralysing grievance the working classes have now to right against , — namely , a market filled with surplus labourers . Mr Humphries tben proceeded to show how the National Association would enhance the prosperity of the edge-tool makers , and asked upon what that prosperity depended ? Was it upon the depression ofthe carpenters , the sawyers , and the miners ? No ; for if these trades were in a depressed condition , they would consume less oi the produets of their labour ; and when there was no demandfor their labour , their masters would have the advantage of them and be able , without resistance , to reduce their wages . But if they joined with the
carpenters , the sawyers , and the miners , to assist in maintaining their standard of wages , they would consume a larger quantity of the articles they manufactured , and consequently create a greater demand for their labour , and when that demand existed they could ask for , and obtain a just remuneration for their labour . Mr Humphries concluded by exhibiting samples of goods manufactured by the members of the National Association , and exhorted them to become consumers of free labour . He would sit down , and any question they thought fit to ask relative to the National Association , he should feel great pleasure in answering to the best of his abilitv . In the course of the evening some important questions were asked , and answered to the perfect satisfaction of the meeting ; after which the following resolution was carried without a single dissentient : — ¦
" That this meeting returns its sincere thanks to the centra ] committee for having sent Mr Hnmphries among them , also to that gentleman , for the very able and talented address delivered by him to this meeting ; and tbat each district of edge-too makers be requested to discuss the subject at their various district meetings , and bring a decided answer to the next quarterly meeting , wbich will be held on the first Monday in next month , as to the propriety of the whole body joining the National Association at once . " A vote of thanks was then passed to the woithy host for the very excellent manner in which he _lred provided such good and ample accommodatio _i for their society , also for the general interest he took in the prosperity of their body .
Mr Holden replied by thanking thorn for the honour they had done him , and concluded by winning '' Permanent prosperity to the _edge-tool makers , and may success attend all their undertakings to enhance their general welfare . " A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman by acclamation , for the unwearied services rendered by him to this trade . To which Mr Hall responded in a short but neat address , adverting to the continued progression of their S ciety since its formation , and hoped they would still pe on prospering in all their exertions to secure the rights of Industry .

State Trials In France. The Trial Of Gen...
STATE TRIALS IN FRANCE . The trial of General _Cubieres and M . M . Teste , Parmentier and Pellapra , commenced on Thursday before the High Court of Peers . M . Cauchy , "Recorder of the Court , read the bill of indictment drawn up by the Attorney-General , M . Delangle . That document began by stating the circumstances under which the association between General Cubieres and M . Paimentier was formed for tbe purpose of working a mine of rock salt , in 1842 . The letters which passed between them evidently indicated the project of purchasing with money the
support of t he Minister of Public Works , and M . Parmentier in his interrogatory had not hesitated to admit that the criminal bargain had been concluded and actually carried into effect . In November , 1841 , M . Parmentier arrived in Paris , and waited on General Cubieres , with whom he prepared the means of securing to themselves the concession of the mines of Gouhenans . On the 14 th of January 1842 , General Cubieres wrote to his associate , apprising him of a conversation he had had with M . Legrand , Director-General of the Department of Public Works , and urging him to supply him with the means necessary to ensure an interested support in the Council of Ministers . " I can , " he said ,
" Obtain that indispensable support , and it behoves you to devise the means of propitiating him . This subject is not easy to treat by correspondence ; your presence is necessary , indispensable in Paris . You must dispose to that effect of a certain _numliec of shares . When we meet we will talk over the affair ; but you must contrive that you and I should have those shares in our possession , ia order to carry our point with as little delay as possible . Remember , my dear sir , that the government is placed in greedy and corrupt hands . " It was agreed between them that the original 100 shares should be converted into 525 , and that 25
should be placed at the disposal of Messrs Cubieres and Parmentier , to employ them as they thought proper , for the benefit of the enterprise , without being obliged to give any account of the use they had made of them to the company . Having made several unsuccessful attempts to negotiate the shares they at last offered them to M . Pellapra , who agreed tolendonthemlOO _. OOOf . That sum was actually paid by M . Pellapra . Another sum of 100 , 000 f . waa subsequently realised by the sale of 25 other shares belonging to M . Parmentier , Those two sums were then placed in the hands of General Cubieres to be employed as he thought fit to insnre the grant of the concession . The bill of indictment then
endeavours lo explain how the 200 , 000 / ., placed ab the disposal of M . Cubieres , had been appropriated by him , and cites several acts , signed between him and M . Pellapra , from which it appeared that the latter had given to certain parties a sum of ] 15 , 000 f . to forward their claim . Differences , however , subsequently arose between Messrs Cubieres and Parmentier , and the latter threatened to publish the letters of the General if he did not return him his 25 shares . Subsequently a civil suit between these two have served as a pretext for revelations which have produced so painful aa impression all over France .
M . Delangle maintained against General Cubieres , and Messrs Parmentier and Pellapra , tbe charge of having , in 1842 , corrupted by offers , gifts , and presents , the Minister of Public Works , in order to obtain the concession of a mine of rock salt , situate ia the department of the "Upper Saone ; and against M . Teste , of having at the same period , being Minister of Public Works , accepted those offers , and received these gifts and presents . lt had been ascertained , tbe day previous , that Pellapra had fled from Paris , and taken refuge in Belgium .
On Friday the Chancellor communicated the fact that , on the demand of the committee of the court appointed to prepare and watch the trial , a warrant had been issued on Thursday night against the three accused , and that tbey had all been arrested forthwith , and carried to the prison of the _Conciergerie , where they had passed the night . It appears that tbis rigorous step was taken by the court , principally in consequence of the unexpected discovery of some additional correspondence between General Cubieres and M . Pellapra , which greatly _compromised M . Teste . The letters were written by General Cubieres , who , on being questioned with respect to them , ad-• litted that he bad written letters ol the same purport , and he had no reason to think that the copies were otherwise than correct .
On Saturday M . Teste was interrogated by the Attorney-General , and persisted in denying the truth of the charges directed against his honour . In reply to the c ) urt , General Cubieres said , " I believed the statement of M . Pellapra when he told me tha thehai paid 100 , 000 f . to M . Teste , and it is because I credited tbat declaration that I confided to him the sums I have already mentioned . " It had been announced that M . Pellapra would yield himself up , and appear before the court oa Monday ; this , however , he did not do , but an extra * ordinary letter and documents sent by him to Madame Pellapra were produced . In the letter , M . Pellapra enjoined his wife not to produce the documents except in case of extreme necessity , declaring that he
had fled to avoid the cruel necessity of becoming the accuser of M . Teste . Madame Pellaprasent his letter , witb the documents , tothe Chancellor , and they were laid before the court on Monday . The documents went directly to implicate M . Teste as having received the wages of corruption from M , Pellapra , M . Teste denied that he had received the money , and pointed to the very moderate fortune he enjoyed as a proof that he had not enriched 'himself by bribes or any other means . Witnesses were produced , who declared that Pellapra had told them that he had paid 100 _, 000 fs . to M . Teste . But other evidence waa forthcoming . It occurred to the Chancellor that the
books at the Treasury might throw some light on the subject . An expert accountant was forthwith despatched to examine , and in tbe course of tbe sitting that person gent in a report , which stated that on the very day after M . Pellapra had paid over the sum o £ 93 , 000 francs and interest to a certain M . T „ the sura of 93 , 900 francB was invested by M . Charles Teste , the son ofthe Minister , in Bons Royaux . Tbe closeness of dates , the similarity of the sums , the fact that M . Pellapra on that day had paid over the very sum in question to a M . T . ; coming altogether , it was too much for human reason to resist . From that moment the most sceptical looked upon M _Tei-to as guilty .
The blow was a stunning one to M . Teste himself _, lie mm previously shown a great deal of courage and ] _, self-possession ,- bnt the report of the accountant , , coming as it did with redoubled effect after his own . previous declarations of poverty , seemed to over- power him . He turned deadly pale and fell back : upon his seat , but after a short interval he again rose , , andrequestedthecourttoobservethattheinvestraent ; ; in the Bons Royaux was a transaction of his son's i with which he had nothing to do . The public excitement received a sudden impulse i on Tuesday morning by the announcement that oa i tbe previous _evening M . Teste had attempted suicide : : The news turned out to be but too true , though .
the attempt proved unsuccessful . The following ; account is from a Paris paper : — " _Attemi-ted Suicide op M . Teste . —Between _i eight and nine o ' clock last evening an explosion was s heard in one of the chambers in the prison of the _e Luxembourg , occupied by the accused parties in the e affair of the Gouhenans mines . The attendants im- - mediately rushed in , and it was found that M . Teste e had attempted to commit suicide ; he had placed a a pistol in his mouth , and pulled the trigger , but the e pistol missed fire j he then placed a second pistol ) l close to his heart and fired , but he had pressed the ie weapon with such force a _^ inst the pait that the ie ball did not enter , and he fell to the ground . No fo
wound was inflicted , and the only _t-ace of the ex- splosion was a black mark from the powder on the ae flannel waistcoat and the skin . The Chancellor and id the Grand Referenda ! y ofthe Chamber of "Peers- _; _rswere immediately summoned . After he had received ed the necessary attention , M . Teste was ordered to be be kept in secret confinement under the eye of a keeper , er , in order to prevent a new attempt at self-destruc-action . It is said , that when M . Teste quitted the the court the previous evening he exclaimed , _*/ e suisuis mi ftomnte perdu' ! "
_nJiv _^ S ock , 1 ¥ _^ P 4 was fo _- o ffetl by ay a-.-confession on the part of M . Teste . He addressedsed . a letter to _ the chancellor in which he said further her ' contradiction was unavailing , he only begged thathat ; judgment might be pronounced in his absence with-ithout forcing him to appear again before the court , t .
