      FRANCE . The directors of the ' Socialiste' of Dijon has been sentenced to imprisonment for three months and to pay a fine of 1 , 000 franc 3 for having published a seditious libel ; and the director of the Peuple * has been senteaced to imprisonment for six mouths and to pay a fine of 2 , 000 francs for a similar offence . The chief editor of the Courrier RepHblicain ' of Langra 3 has been sentenced to imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of 2 , 000 francs for laving published a seditious libel .

      . Intelligence has ' been received from Montbelaird ( Doubs ) . nearBesancon , stating that a strike has taken place amongst the watch and clock makers of that town . No disturbance had , however , oc-The directors of the ' Journal des Debats , '' ConstStutiosneV Pressp , ' ' National , ' 'Siecle , ' EveneehW and Bepublique' were on the 29 th fined 200 francs each by the Police Court of Pans for having published advertisements of foreign lotteries . The consequence of this conviction is that M . Armand Berthi and the other directors will be , under the new law , deprived of the electoral franchise .

      The three judges composing the first chamber of the Tribunal of Preiaiere Instance have just published their judgment in the affair of Allais . It is of very great length , for it embraces all the details of the pretended conspiracy as revealed by him , and the proceedings connected with it in the sittings of the Permanent Committee of the National Assembly . These are followed by an account of the examination of witnesses , shoeing the impossibility of the

      facts stated by Allais , and also his own confession of its being an invention . There are long details as to the character of Allais , showing that he bad been dismissed b y other commissaries for false reports , and was even in May of the present year prosecuted by the Procureur of the Republic of the Tribunal of Chartres for a calumnious denunciation , and on this occasion M . Yon actively endeavoured to screen his agent , whose guilt , say the judges , appeared to be demonstrated .

      bit Creton ' s motion for the repeal of the laws affecting the Bourbons bas been adjourned . The fraction to which M . Cretan belongs is very much annoyed at this result , which " they ascribe to a manoeuvre contrived between M . Dnpin and his political friend ? . Some members of the Mountain are believed to be equally disappointed at the adjournment of the motion , as it for the present defeats their object of dividing the parliamentary majority . One of them is said to have expr-ssed a wish for the success of the motion , ' as in the event of any insurrection while the Princes were in France , the first thing to be done by the Republicans would be to seize every member of the Royal Family . Whea there are no longer any princes there would lie r . o monarchy in France .

      M . Guizot has published new editions of his' Life of Monk' and Life of Washington / In the preface ta the new edition of the ' Life of Washington' M . Guizot says : — 1 Ths morel reflect , the more I am convinced that the Republic , a noble form of government , is the most difficult and the most perilous of governments . It is that which requires , from Providence , the most favourable and the rarest circumstances , and from society itself the greatest accord , the greatest prudence , and virtue ; and it is that which , even at such a price , imposes on society the greatest trials -and compels it to undergo the greatest risks .

      'France undergoes at this moment , as an unexpected experiment , and with a constitution which would introduce trouble into the best regulated society , that farm of government which America received by its free choice , of its natural inclination , and by the unexampled situation that Heaven bad created for it . Is the Republic , produced as it has been with us in February , IS 48 , destined to be the same as the Republic of "W ashington ? This is the question debated now . The Republic has been singularly favoured . In spite of its origin , opposed as it was to our taste , men of sense and of worth without distinction of banner have stood fey it as a rampart for their common defence and for that of society against the mutual enemies of both . It is in the name and

      interest of the order it bas destroyed that the Republic still lasts . It had no claim to such a chance . Will it profit by it ? Will it know how to practice with perseverance and energetic policy of conservative and social reconstruction ? France wishes it may be so . To prevent each day society from perishing is not sufficient to found a government . Society must be delivered from the daily fear of perishing , and the prospect of a long and tranquil existeace mnst be opened to it . I speak not of liberty nor of glory ; still I hope that France will not learn to do without either . ' In the preface to' Monk' M . Guizot gives an extract of a curions letter from Kichard Cromwell to Monk fifteen davs onlv before the restoration of Charles II .

      • That / says Richard to the General , ' you may be pleased to exercise your credit when parliament meets in my favonr in order that I may no longer De subjected to debts which neither God nor my conscious , I am sure , regards as mine . Fur , I have this confidence in you , that if I judge myself as . little worthy of great things , you will not judge me deserving of complete ruin . ' The correspondent of the ' Times' is as usual full of reports as to 'treasons , seditions , and conspiracies . ' He savs : —

      • Telegraphic despatches , received from the department of Ardeche , state that some disturbance , similar to that at Bourg St . Audeol , was attempted in the small town of Argentiere , which has a population of about 2 , 900 , on the occasion of the arrest of a Socialist agent who had been implicated in the hie affair . The person in question was arrested b y the gendarmerie acting under the orders of the Sous-Prefect . He absolutely refused to accompany that functionary unless in irons . Every attempt was made to dissuade him , but of no avail ; and ~ at length they were obliged to gratifvhim . As " he

      passed through Argentiere a mob of some hundreds attempted to rescue him- The Sou 3-Prefect draw his sword and the gendarmes nnslung their carabines , and appeared determined to execute their warrants agaiust all comers . On Seeing that these preparations were in earnest the mob fled in all directions , and the ' martyr in chains * was conducted to Privas without any further molestation being offered to the authorities . This district of the Ardeche , being the nest of Socialism , has given much trouble lately , and there is some intention of placing the department under martial law .

      ' Ten persons have been arrested at Gesnes ( Meuse ) for having excited the mob to resist the induction of a schoolmaster lately appointed to the commune . ? The more exalted portion of the Mountain in Paris are endeavouring to introduce the demagogues Of the provinces into masonic lodges in order to conceal their proceedings from the authorities . A few evenings since , at the moment the ' Tbaboristes ' were deliberating on the terms of their circular , a number of revolutionists were received in a lodge at Montmartre , which had previously been gained over to the most advanced Socialism , and in which it is proposed to receive several of the ancient editors and directors of the « Voix due Peuple . ' In a day

      or two other lodges are to proceed to similar receptions , which will have the effect of completely changing the character of the masonic institution , if the elder brethren do not resist this invasion of the Vandals . The inferior conspirators who cannot think of entering masonic lodges , tracked es they are in all the localities in which they endeavour to establish their clubs , now meet in isolate parts of the suburbs with videttes placed round them . AH these precautions , however , do not prevent the police from knowing what take 3 place in this new Champ de Mai , in which the cold weather is beginning to make ravages notwithstanding the ardour of conviction of the conspirators .

      ' On the other hand , the majority of an old Legitimist club , not being able to re-open their former rooms , think of baffling the police by opening a cafe , to be called the Ca f e National , under the direction ef a Umonadier Legitimist pur sang . It will be placed at the botton of a courtyard , and frequented only by the initiated . This is not all . They expect to be able to form htigade 8 , to he composed by ten men , each commandfd by a chosen chief . The men of the brigades are to know all their chiefs , but not each other . The organisation is thus similar to that of the demagog ic sections . « All these endeavours are known to , and most likely will be de feated by , the police .

      be henceforth prevented from assembling there . A measure , it is aaid . has been taken in compliance with the request of the shopkeepers , who complain that the circulation and access of purchasers is completely stopped by the swarm of speculators in the Chamber . , '• • ¦ # The report of the committee on the credits demanded for the expense of ihe levy of 40 , 000 men ij cot popular . The Buonapartists complain louidy of the inuendoes which it throws out against the President of the Republic , and say that , from the beginning to the end , M . de Remusat appears to assume that Louis Napoleon has some concealed

      intentions . The discussions in committee were long and very violent , especially on the subject of the formation of an army of observation . The members of the committee opposed to the views of the Elysee disputed the right of the President of the Republic to make war , or even to form an army of observation , withont the previous consent of the Assembly ; and declared that , even under the restoration , Louis XVIII . and Charles X . never assumed any such extensive power , as was proved b y what took place previous to the Spanish expedition of 1823 . It appeared that Gen . de la Hitte did uot defend the prerogative of the President , in regard " to this matter , wifh the warmth and vigour expected of him ; and that Louis Napoleon has expressed his dissatisfaction . It is probable that the affair will he made the pretest for getting rid of Gen . de la Hitte , and for introducing M . de

      Persigny into the Cabinet . From the turn in the affairs of Germany it is likely that the ministry will withdraw the demand for 40 , 000 additional troops . The Chamber was not in a very willing mood to grant the surplus , and peace being maintained beyond the Rhine , it will be impossible to prevail upon them to do so . It is said that the Legitimists have coalesced with the Republicans to procure a modification of the electoral law , and of the law on the press . On the

      part of the Legitimists , MM . Dufougerais , Nette ment , and Laboulie have presented a proposition relative to proceedings against responsible editors of journals . According to this proposition no responsible editor can be prosecuted for an article published in his journal , unless it is unsigned , or bas a fictitious signature , in which case he is to be re * sponsible , not only for such breaches of the law , hut also for any offences which may result from the publication of the article .

      The man named Nestor Poullain , who was some time since arrested on a charge of meditating an attack on the President of the Republic during bis visit to Strasburg , has just been condemned to two years' imprisonment for swindling several persons in that city . He will , it is said , be shortly brought to trial before the Court of Assizes of the Aube , on the charge of intended assassination . The old Viscomte d'Arlincourr , who , in his young days , when Louis XVIII . was King , was chief of the novelists of the crying school , has recently eschewed novel « writing , and become devout , and , as the most acceptable offering he could make to the Church , he published a series of libellous attacks

      upon all the chiefs of the Italian Liberal party , which he called ' Italie Rouge . ' He thought he could indulge his malace with impunity , as those whom he attacked were exiles , none of whom were resident in France . Unfortunately for his lordship among the persons libelled was the Prince of Canino , whom the Vicomte endeavoured to connect with the assassination of Rossi . The son of Lucien Buonaparte immediately repaired to Paris and commenced an action for defamation against the Viscomte , who , however , never ventured to put anything like a plea of justification on the record , but endeavoured by every means in his power to shirk

      the contest . The action came on for trial on Tue 3-day , when the Caurt gave an elaborate decision , to the effect that , as great allowance ought to be made in favour of those who treat of contemporary history and of men who gave up their public lives to discussion , so- ought writers be held only responsible for attacks calculated to wound individuals in their honour and private character . Under all these circumstances , they thought that such a fine as would mark condemnation of the violation of the line so drawn would be sufficient satisfaction for the plaintiff . The Court then condemned M . d'Arlincourt to pay 300 francs fine , with costs , and to have the judgment inserted in a certain number of journals .

      GERMANY . It appears that the belligerent powers have at last found a way out of their difficulties without fig hting , or any open concession to each other . Tbere is every hope that the most dangerous point of the crisis is past . Though received at first with some incredulity , it is confirmed that the Elector of Hesse himself has , from motives that may be hereafter more closely examined , made a proposition that must be almost equally agreeable to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin . It is , that the troops of the Confederation should be withdrawn from his territory , leaving him to settle the Constitutional dispute with his Chamber and people . For this

      purpose he will himself return to Cassel at the head of 2 , 000 or 3 , 000 troops , and restore matters to what they were before this lamentable outbreak . But these concessions from the resisting party may be preferred to the occupation of the land by the armies of the rival Powers , neither of whom care so much for the interest of the little Principality as for their own relative positions in Germany . The Austro-Bavarian troops withdrawn , Prussia has no pretext for continuing her forces there , and they may be withdrawn without the awkward apology of a retreat on ' strategic' reasons only . The proposition of the Elector was of course made first to the Frankfort Assembly as the regular organ to be

      consulted , was approved by that body , and ita general acceptance of it sent to Berlin just in time to reach M . von Manteuffel before he left for Olmutz to attend the free Conferences . The Elector has a full right to demand the withdrawal of the troops , and the demand opens a door of escape to both Powers from a situation that was becoming both threatening and dangerous . It is also known that the condition of the troops was getting worse and worse every day . No magazines of provisions had been prepared ; the roads are almost impassable ; Austrian paper money is in no repute in Hesse * or any where else ; the means of existence , were becoming problematical .

      The measure will be popular in Hesse ; nay , the satisfaction at getting rid of requisitions , quarters , and other blessings of an army of occupation known only to the ' untased foreigner' ( all whose possessions , his patience included . ) are taxed in some districts to an extent that would drive Kent and Surrey into a rebellion ) , will reflect some degree of popularity on the Elector himself . Even the Constitutionalists , his opponents , are delighted with his decision , and have accepted it as an advantage . They will bail the withdrawal of the troops of both Powers

      as a blessing ; m the first flush or their joy they have even circulated an address of congratulation to the Elector , expressing their hope that he will make his entry into Cassel as soon as possible . Whether the reconciliation is to be purchased by the sacrifice of M . Hassenpflug is a point as yet only supposed ; but it is by no means impossible . It is rumoured that after so much agitation and obloquy his health requires repose . It may be easily imagined that the Elector ' s decision has uot taken either Berlin or Vienna by surprise .

      The Constitutionalists are not pleased with the turn of affairs . They say that M . von Manteuffel is gone into the « enemy ' s camp ; ' that Prussia is betrayed ; and that a flua ! concession will crown all the previous surrenders . The evacuation of Hesse by the Federal troops bas commencedi Nevertheless we are informed that the Prussian troops at Cassel and Hersfeld are still being reinforced from tVestpbalia and Baden . The funds had risen sli g htly at Vienna , Berlin , and Frankfort in consequence of the possibility of an amicable settlement of the pending difficulties by the conference at Olmuiz .

      The Conference between Ihe Austrian and Prussian foreign ministers , at Oltnutz , appears to have terminated amicably . The Hesse difficulty had been previously disposed of , and on the Schleswi g Hoi stein question , Prince Swanzenberg made several concessions . Plans for settling the questions , connected therewith , and for the reformation of the Germanic federation were discussed and agreed to be submitted first to their respective sovereigns , and then finally discussed at free conferences . These arrangements have , it is said , subsequently received the sanction of both courts , though troops continue to be moved in various quarters , and the tone of letters , from Berlin , is still warlike . Dresden is mentioned as tbe place of holding the free con * ferences . SARDINIA .

      ROME . The correspondent of the ' Daily News' says : — ' M . Louis Napoleon ' s gorgeous account of the spledours of French arms and French diplomacy , in this part of the world , may sound very well at Paris , and suffice to gull those deputies whose gullibility , or bonne foi ( to g ive it a more delicate appellation ) , lays them open to the effects of such astounding assertions ; but for us at Rome , who have been spectators of the disgraceful course of French intervention from the very beginning , and its subsequent deplorable results to the detriment of the lives , properties ) and liberties of Roman subjects in general , it can only appear a shamefully barefaced statement , or an

      excessively ludicrous and ironical one on the part of M . le President , when he dilates upon the glory acquired in Italy by the French army , the destruction of demagogism , the restoration of the Pope , and the support afforded to his liberal intentions by the representatives of the French government in Rome . Any of these clauses , save the last , one might have passed over , since Frenchmen csnnot bo expected to form impartial judges when their own military reputation is at stake , nor can they know to what an extent demagogism has increased here , instead of diminishing , by their meddling ; the restoration of the papal throne may likewise be , according to their peculiar ideas of glory , a subject for congratulation , - but to

      talk of their supporting liberal intentions , or to accuse the Pope of entertaining any , is really trop fort The organic laws upon which the President lays such stress are mere pieces of mockery if regarded in the light of liberal institutions . . ' The intention of concentrating all power in the hands of the government and denying nil share of it to , the people or their representatives , is evident throughout that Mr ., Hely , Dr . Achilli ' s brother-in-law , whose arbitrary expulsion from the Reman States I mentioned in a preceding letter , bag made application at the Foreign Office , in consequence of which an inquiry has been set on foot here as to the cause of his expulsion , the police authorities replying , in

      the most cavalier way possible , that he was never forced to leave at all , and that he might have reminded in the country had such been his wish . This denying the affair in toto is a most barefaced proceeding , especially as Mr . Hel y ' s passport , vised only for three days , and even laying down the line of route to be taken by him , forms a sufficient docu * ment to the contrary . But the police is a slippery office to have anything to do with in this country , as poor Signor Piccioni has full opportunity of experiencing , now that he lies in gaol , after having been nearly murdered by the sbirri , with the probality of being sent to the gallies for having assaulted them ; forsootb , it is the old story of Sidrophel over again , the beaten ene becomes the beater , and the lawyer makes a good job out of it .

      The siirri , after having formed a guard of honour to M . de Montalembert , have afforded a similar p iece of service to the advecate Grazioli , who died on Monday last , and whose funeral took place at the church of San Lorenzo , in Lucina . As this advocate was one of the most merciless of tbe council of censure he was deiested by the whole city , and it was apprehended that his dead body mig ht be hissed along the Corso if carried without the escort of the sbirri . As it was , he did not escape the insult prepared for him by some wags , who sent a fellmonger to his palace with a cart , under pretence that there was a dead donkey to carry away : the poor carter accordingly went in all simplicity , and inquired for the beast that had died the day before .

      SPAIN . An account of the receipts and expenditure of the public revenue for the first six months ef the present year was distributed to the Deputies on the previous day . It appears by this account that the receipts amount to 2 , 867 . 051 , 875 reals , and the expenditure to 2 , 760 , 189 , 687 reals ; the balance in the Treasury , on the 1 st of July , being 215 , 531 , 530 reals .

      SAXONY . The extraordinary committee of the First Chamber has rejected the government proposition for revising the old constitution of 1831—an extraordinary circumstance , showing this Chamber to be more conservative than the Cabinet , for the former , in fact , rejects all reforms , even those whioh the latter regards as requisite and congenial with the spirit of the times .

      TURKEY . By the Levant mail , we have received Constantinople journals up to the 14 th . They prove the falsehood of the reports of the poisoning of the Sultan and the escape of Kossuth , for no later account than the 14 th could have been received when these reports were published in the German journals , and the silence of the Constantinople journals is conclusive on the subject . Tbe differences which had arisen between the Prussian Consul at Damascus and the authorities of the town had been settled in conformity with the Sultan ' s orders , b y the latter expressing their regret to the former in the presence of the Prussian residents and the corps diplomatique . The ' Lloyd's' of Vienna , of the 23 rd , says : —

      ' A letter from Constantinople , confirms what we have given respecting the flight of Kossuth , viz ., that it was an invention . The day of his pretended flight , Kossuth was at Kurpahia in his bed , ill of typhus fever . A medical man of the garrison had been ordered by Solyman Bey to attend him . ' THE DISTURBANCES AT ALEPPO . Austrian Lloyd ' s steamer , the Asia , which arrived at Trieste on the 25 th ult ., brings the intelligence that the disturbances at Aleppo have been completely suppressed , but after some serious fighting . This intelligence says , that after three day ' s fighting , the rebeh were routed , leaving 500 killed . The Governor-General had seized Abdullab-Badelsi and fifteen of the ringleaders . The military lost seventytwo men .

      We have received the following account from a correspondent : — ' Aleppo Nov . 8 . ' Referring to rny last communication of the 29 th ult ., I now beg to add that up to the 5 th inst . a certain agitation lias continued to be apparent through ' out the town , and we have constantly been on the qui vive , but still always respected by the insurgent party . On the 5 th , the Pasha having received con . siderable reinforcements of troops , caused Abdallah Beg and some other chiefs of the old Jannissary party to be arrested , and immediately began to attack with artillery the suburbs of Bankussa , Kurlek . and Babilnerab . On Wednesday , the 6 th , and the morning of the 7 th , the town was bombarded from the castle and the barracks . Great Havoc has been committed

      on a part of the town , and on the insurgents , who defended themselves with much obstinacy during two days , but succumbed at last ; and " were crushed without mercy ; the three above-mentioned suburbs were reduced almost entirely to ashes , with the usual accompaniments of pillage and revengeful violence . The triumph of the troops is complete , and a great many arrests are being made among ; the Musselmans who took part in the late riots . The attack having

      been exclusively directed against the revolting suburbs , 1 am happy to say that not the slightest damage has been done to the quarters inhabited by the Christians , Jews , and Europeans . All these quarters were , moreover , guarded by troops , and even by citizeiis belonging to the party of order . The insurgents were too busy in their own defence to think of doing any further mischief , and providentiall y we have passed through the fierce and sanguinary ordeal unscatched .

      1 We cannot yet ascertain the number of dead among the insurgents , some of whom effected their escape from the town . To-day all is quiet ; all posts are in the hands of the troops , and ' a rebel or a dis orderly person is nowhere to be seen . Commerce is , of course , suspended , and will long suffer from ihe effects of the late commotions , '

      NEW ZEALAND . By an arrival from New Zealand we are in possession of a file of the Wellington Independent ' ( Port Nicholson paper ) to the 3 rd July . The colony appears to be tranquil , but the papers are filled with complaints of the Colonial-office , and with discussions about a constitution . A despatch had been published in which Earl Grey promises that New Zealand shall not be made a convict station . It will be remembered that the

      settlers expressed themselves strongly on this point when a rumour once got abroad that convict 9 would be landed on the islands . A very strong feeling prevailed on the subject of the appointment of a ' Judge of the Supreme Court for the settlement of Otago . ' This appointment is said to be a mere Downing-street job . It is unhesitatingly declared that no judge is wanted at Otago , and that the revenue consumed in maintaining one would be much better expended on schools , hospitals , bridges , roads , or public improvements . AMERICA . The * New York Tribune' says : — 'A serious disturbance took place at a public meeting in Boston , held on the evening of the 13 th inst . in honour of George Thompson , the celebrated political agitator in England , and the zealous advocate of Abolitionism in tbis country . The meeting was summoned by a call signed by William Lloyd Garrison and others , for the purpose of congratulating Mr . Thompson on his arrival in this country , and of expressing sympath y with him in the various reformatory movements in which he has been honourably distinguished since his last visit to the United States . After a speech !>•• ^' r . Harrison , the appearance of Mr . Wendell Philips On t s

Other speakers endeavoured to make themselves heard , but without success , and at last the gas was shut off and the assembly broke up amid the greatest confusion . Mr . Thompson ' s notoriety as an Abolition advocate has caused strong prejudices against him in the minds of a portion of the community . They resent his interference , as a foreigner , with the affairs of this country , and are inclined to take the most decisive measures to prevent Ihim from speaking on the subject of Abolition . It is not probable that he will be able to withstand the current of public feeling , or to gain access to an American audience , without disturbance . Comment from us on this

      BOSTON LAW FOR SLATE CATCHERS . Wo have been watching with interest for the issue of the Fugitive Slave Bill , recently emoted in the United States : —and have been amused and instructed by the reports brought over by the last mail of the first attempt at its application in Boston . That the Puritans of i ' ew England would A 9 sist in Dutraging humanity by giving back to slavery the man or woman who had fled to them for protection , we had no suspicion ; but wo feared—as did most persons living at a distance—that government would be compelled to execute the law , and that collisions , ending in confusion , bloodshed , and unappeasable exasperation between the north and the south , would ensue . The slave-hunters have ,

      however , been foiled with their own weapons : — -and the history of the "doublings" -which they have had to encounter g ives . 1 dignity to the incidents of farce . Knight and Hughes , men of a race peculiar to America , who buy runaway slaves as certain speculators in England buy bad debts , at low prices , undertaking the risks and eo 9 t 9 of recovery—appeared in Boston in chase of a man named Crafts and his wife , alleged to bo fugitive slaves . As the new law compels the State to give them up—a Vig ilance Society , established for the protection of persons so circumstanced , laid a plan of action to defeat the body discounters . First they advised Crafts and his wife to fight it out—procuring the assistance of two or three hundred free blacks in

      case of necessity . A number of lawyers in the city , however , helped them to improve on this plan—and take a more pacific course . They undertook to bring- the new law into successful conflict with older laws . Crafts was desired to remove his bed into his workshop , so as to constitute that his " castle ; " and notice was served on the local commissioner appointed to adjudicate imdor the bill , that his attempt to do so in this case would be followed by process against himself on the ground of an unconstitutional appointment . The marshal received notice that if he broke open the door of Crafts ' e " castle , " for the purpose of arresting him , he would be proceeded against on the ground that the process was of a civil , not a criminal ,

      nature . These combustibles duly laid—the train was next conducted by a variety of lines against the southern hunters themselves . Earl y © n the morning of their arrival , they were served with notice of an action for slander at tho suifc of Crafts , —and obliged to find bail to appeal' in defence . Later on the same day , that first difficulty 1 ^ in g been got over they -were served with a similar notice at the suit of his wife ; and again had to run about in search of bail , —rendered more difficult by the now increasing feeling of the public . Thus passed tho first day : —the interest of the gamo dec ; , ening with every move . Next morning the sport was early up . A crowd of persons gathered in the street ; and when the gig or the Blavo-chasers came out , they had reason , to be dissatisfied with the warmth of their reception . To escape annoyance , they drove rapidly across pno of the bridges leading into the suburb of Cambrid

      ge , —forgetting in their hurry to pay the toll . At ni ght they shrank back to their hotel ; and were beginning to cool themselves in ita shelter , when an officer entered with a summons to them to answer a charge of evading the toll . He wag followed by another , with a 8 ummons to meet a complaint of furious driving . By this time the town had entered thoroughly into the fun , —and the negroes began to feel confidence that tho lawyers would win the game . Our hunters grew cautious , as they thought ; and as their gig had brought them many disasters , next day they waived ita dignity ,-and , lig hting their cigars , sauntered arm-in-arm to the police court , to answer the charges against them and pay their fines . On their way they were met by a policeman , who took them into custody for smoking in ths streets , contrary to tho city regulations , —and carried them before the wjw * That dignitary detained them wm « houra

Leaving the court to return to dinner , the unlucky men abused the niayor , the city regulations , and the good folks of Boston with plenteous oaths : —groatly to the amusement of a long train of followers , black and whito , ragged and respectable , who waited on their progress . The evils Of tho day were not over . While drinking hot punch nnd speculating on the wisdom of retreat , an officer of police served them with a summons to answer , next morning , a charge of profane swearing in the public etreets . This " broke the camel ' s back . " The profits on their venture were already . rnne ' in fineB and costs . So , they packed up their - -and then inflicted the largest fine which the law

      Fu " ffa / re ; and the mgntwain earned them across tho borders of New England , —Crafts and hia wife being left in tho undisputed sovereignty of their " castle . " Out of an incident that threatened to end tragically the demure Bostoiiians have extracted , as we have said , a bit of excellent farce . The disappearance of the "firat and second villains" brought the drama to a premature conolusion : —had they survived these last two summonses , the lawyers would have raised several questions got up to give the law a previous possession of the ilave himself , —prosecutions for debt , for having arms in his house , and so forth , -to raise , in fact , the point of precedence on behalf of the State

      criminal law against the law of delivery and extradition , and to exhaust the patience and purse of the slave-hunters . Whether or not such an experiment , if commonly followed , could be made to take out the string from the Fugitive Slave BilJ , —it is clear that it would destroy the abominable system of middle-men—ruin the speculators in run-away slaves . The incidents narrated are a new proof that no law can be executed against which the moral sense of the community is thoroughly aroused :--and altogether the affair affords another curious illustration of American life and manners .
