What ia called the trial of M. de Mohta lekbebt took place in a little room in Faria, on the 24th N ovomber, not before a judge and jnry, bat befole fonr petty judges, not equal in status to the Folice Magistrates of London. There was no jury. The jadgcß, removable at pleaaure, are tbe creatures of the Govern ment. There was no jnatlce, no fair play, nothing like the law which we ahould look for in a trial here. Two men were accused. One, the gcrant, or responsible editor of the Correspondant, in which waa published an article written by the other, M. de Mo.vrAr.EsniKßT. One admitted the pnblishingi tho other owned the author ship. Consequently, no witnesses were exa mined. None? Oh, wo had forgotten. The accused were examined as witnesses to convict themselves. The accusation was for writing and publish ing an article in which England was praised— the Inference being that there was a dispar agement of France, by comparison and con trast. Just as if we should write, « Geoe.oe Washington was an unselfish patriot,” and Mr. Attorney General Black should bring us to trial, for attacking Jakes 800 ban ah —by contrast! M. de Montalehbebt was closely examined, by the Jndgos, as to what he meant in the various passages of the article picked out for prosecution, and overy attempt was made to conviot him, out of his own month. Tho Editor was examined. The Procnrenr Imperial (District Attorney, in fact,) made a speech vchomontly abusing the accused, in which he wound np with the odd peroration, that M. de Montalehbebt had “ laid France prostrate at the feet of England: yen have Struck Franpo in the face; yes, struck her ia the face—unworthily struck her in the face.” M. Bebbyeb spoke ably and at mnch length for the Oonnt. The Procnreur Impe rial gave a fifteen-minutes answer to M. Beb bteb, and was replied to at soiqe length and much force, by M. Dppaube, for tho accqsed editor. Tho Judges retirodfor an hour,and re turned with a verdict of guilty on throe charges out of four. They sentenced him, M. de Mon talembebt, to a fine of 9,000 francs and six months imprisonment, and M. Dqdniol to a fine ot 1,000 francs and one month impris onment, both prisoners to pay tho costs of the trial. M. de Montalehqert, it was said, would appeal to a higher tribunal. Six-mfanths imprisonment, with payment of the fine and costs, is not very much for a man to suffer, though we should cheerfully do without it ourselt. But there is a supple ment which makes the mer» condemnation very serious. What in France is called the law of suspicious persons places MU. de ! Montalejibert and Douniol so much in the , power of Napoleon’s police that, at any mo- ' ment, with or without canse, they can be de ported, without trial, without accusation, without any notice, off to Cayenne or Algeria. Therefore the oonviction involves the contin gency of most serious consequences. The appearance of M. Berryer as the ad vocate of Count DB MoNTALEHBERT, is itself a memorable thing. This man is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable personagos in Franco. We have repeatedly heard him plead, and, if called upon to describe him, would say that, as au advocate, he seemed tp unite in himself the leading characteristics of three great men, of three very different countries. If John PmLPor Cueban, Thomas Eksxink, and Baniel WEDBTEBconId be fused into one, the" result would be something' ; greatly' re sembling Antoinne Fiebre Berryer. Wo allude to him, in this wise, simply os a great lawyer. In politics, ho would have taken a course opposite to that pursued by Cobban in Ireland and Beskins in England, hut, po litically as well as legally, he has ever con tended for the' Liberty of the Press, as they did. They were not only democratic, but ultra-progressivo—moro anxious to throw down institutions than gently and gradually to repair the damages which time and circum stance had made. On the contrary, Daniel Webster's politics, allowing for the difference of locality and government, were net unlike those which Bebrter has always maintained— the vindication of civil and religions liberty, the maintenance of social order, the fair ad ministration of justice, and, above all, the Conservatism of the great political institutions which bind all classes of citizons in defence of the nation whoso children they are. If H. Bebbyer be a “ Legitimist” in Franco, he would have been a Conservative of the Daniel Webster school, in this country. Of all living lawyers, with the exception of Lord Brououam, no man has been so com pletely, so extensively mixed up, as a lawyer, with political matters. But Brouoham, com mencing as a man of Progress, has sobered down into a rational, reforming Conservative, while Bbrrter, so long the child and cham pion of Legitimacy, appears now, when stand ing almost on the threshold of his seventieth year, as the defbnder of the rights of tho citizen against the incursions of oppressive Powor. The -course of professional duty has led him into paths which might have appeared widely divergent had not the rule existed that a lawyer cannot well refuse to defend a client who chooses to employ him. Thus, in 1816, at the age of twenty-flvo, M. Bebbyer— albeit one who, as a loyalist, had followed the fugi tive Louis XVIII to Ghent—was one of the counsel who defonded MnrshalNEY and Gene rals Debelle and Oambronne for having gone with Napoleon to Waterloo; eighteen years later ho was tho champion of the imprisoned Dnohess of Bebry; seven years lator still, (in 1840,) he defended Louis Na poleon, after the fiasco at Boulogne. In poli tics, at least, he has been consistent. In 1830, he ably maintained that Charles X was not compelled to choose his Ministry from the ranks of the Legislative majority which had defeated the Polignac Administration; during the reign of Louis Philippe, he defended the assailed freedom of the press j in 1882, he was tried and acquitted on a charge of com plicity with tho designs of the Duohess o f Berry against the Oitizen-King; in 1843, he paid his “ loyal” respects to Henry V, (Count be CnAMBORB,) at London; in 1848, when the last Bovolution took place, he renewed his personal adhesion, but felt that Franco was Hnprepared to receive a Bourbon mo narch i in 1860-1, when the Orleans party uni ted with tho Ultras to curb the President, M. Berbyer acted in earnest .with them, only without personal heat; finally, in 1866, when elected member of the French Academy, in the inauguration speech which he had to deli ver, he referred to the degradation of the Lower Empire, which was supposed to allude to France under Napoleon 111, and the Im perial and imperious gentleman in question angrily interdicted the publication of tho ora tion, but was so discreet as to change bis mind in twenty-four hours, and permit it to appear. It was then that M. Berryer did what scarcely any other man in France, at this day, would dare to venture on. The custom has always been that the new Academician should present himself at Court, after his installation, to receive, as it were, the personal sanction of tho Sovereign. M. Berryer wrote to the Emperor’s Secretary begging him to pse his influence that the performance of this act of fealty should bo dispensed with, as his politi cal convictions did not allow him even to ap pear as acknowledging the Imperial regime, and the Emperor had the prudence to waivo the ceremonial in his favor. Such is M. Bebbyer— fearless, eloquent, and thoroughly independent. Of the speech which he made in defence of Count DB Montalkmbert, scarcely any re -1 cord remains. Reporting was not allowed in tho Court in which he pleaded. The French idea is that to report a political libel case, is to give additional publicity to the libel itself. About two hundred persons were present, in ' eluding the judges, the counsel on both Sides, TWO CENTS. the oflicers of the Court, and a few specta tors, admitted by ticket. A spectator, de scribing the scene in a London paper—the Paris journals' merely give the sentence, with-" out any details whatever—said: “ I have heard all the most distinguished advocates of the day in England, but I think I am not car ried beyond the bounds of sober judgment by the enthusiasm of the moment when I offer the opinion that nene of them, In point of eloquence of the highest order, are at all comparable to either M. Berryeb or M. Du yaurb. Berryer, quivering with contagious passion, and yet never for a moment forgetting the legal points of his case during a speech of three honrs, was one of the finest sights I ever saw in my lire. DorAuRE, regarded as a mere lawyer, is probably now the greatest at the French bar, but he is much more than a mere lawyer. His severe logic and concen tration remind me of the late Sir William Follett, but he is muoh more eloquent, his action is more varied and dignified, and he has humor, which Follett had not.” The Paris correspondent of the Times, one of the most brilliant of all English journalists, (he is an Irishman, by the way, his name is J. B. O’MeAoheb, and his birth-place Killarney,) thus describes this great lawyer i “Yon are probably aware that in France M. Berryer has been long considered by most people “ ons of the greatest of French orators since the time of Mirabeau. In person he is rather undo'r than over (be middle size, bat his features are fall of expression, and refleot all the fire and pas flion whioh barn within him. There is something frfotaatiog in his glanoe; and the look with J*oioh he surveyed the Procureur seated on his lofty benoh, as ho entered the court after a fow absence, seemed to take the measure of thatfunotlonary’s intellect. His whole person is eloquent. The effect of hi. Berryer’s impassioned rhetorio cannot be given by the most skilful short hand-writer, for its foree lies la those qualities which oannot be transferred to paper. Who oan give the exquisite intonations of that rich and melodious voice, or the graoeful energy of his aotion ? That notion and that voioe are never so muoh displayed as in the ffte of his'declamation. Other orators may be interrupted by the applause of their hearers, bat M. Berryer is listened to with almost breathless silence, as if they feared to lose even one note of that deep voioe, or miss one single wave of that arm. His voioe is heard dis tinctly, whether it be low or high ; and, when it ceases, you long to hear it again, aqd hesitate by the slightest movement to br*ak the spell. The variety ofhls intonation eannotbe surpassed, whe ther his words be simple and familiar, bold, or rioh with ornament. In sarcasm he is powerful, and his person swells under interruption.” M. Dufaure, hero mentioned, defended M. Douniol, tho gerant of the Correspondant . He is second only to M. Berryer as an adYOoate, and is a year older. In tho time of Louis Philippe, be was Minister of Public Works, under the doctrinaire Guizot, but afterwards went into opposition and becamo a Liberal* Under Louis Napoleon's Presidency, he again became a Minister, but protested against the coup d’etat of 1851, though be escaped tho imprisonment to which other dissentients wore subjected. Undoubtedly, ho did- bis duty well on this last occasion. Neither Berryer nor Dupaurb spoke from prepared notes. ' Few European lawyers do. Berryer's oration, evidently made on the mo ment, (though the matter must have previously matured in his mind,) occupied three honrs, and was one bold, dashing, energetic flow of eloquence. Dufaure, who occupied less time, confined himself more to law and fact, but is described as having been most eloquent at times. One curlons coincidence we must note, for' the parallel occurs to onr recollection even while we write these lines. In 1815, at the commencement of bis forensic career, M. Berryer declared, while defending General Oambronne, put on trial for fighting with Napoleon at Waterloo, (where he ledtheOld Guard,) that “i{ was the daty of a general to obey the Government de facto, and the man to whom the treaty of Fontainebleau had preserved the title and rights of a Sovereign.” Bold words, ottered to the face of the restored Bourbons) For these It. Berbyer was cited before the Council of Advocates by tho Pro curenr-Geneih], who asked only for a;simple warning,which was pfononneed. Once again, in November, 1858, at the recent trial, he displayed equal boldness. ‘ He spoke of the institutions which France had only lately lost, and on saying that to affirm that France did not now possess liberty was not an attach on the Government, but merely Ike assertion of a no torious and undeniable fact, the President of the Court declared that he, the advocate, was repeating at the bar the very offence with which M. be Montalembert was charged. Indignantly, then, M. Berryer insisted that France had repudiated her own liberty—that the Government boasted it had bartered Li berty for Order, with the consent of the French people; and that it could not be an offence, in reason, to declare that Liberty does not now exist. Bravo words, and true—yet how few would have dared to ntter them, in that Court, at that time. Louis Napoleon seems to have lost his bead, os they say in France. He has pro voked a comparison between his own harsh rale and the element sovereignty under which liberty prevails in England, and the conse quence may be very serious, much sooner than any one now has reason to expect. Deer on the Mountain—Romantic Inci dent.—We learn, says the Shippenaburg (Pa.) Newsy from persons from that vicinity, that large herds of deer have been seen, and several killed, on the South Mountain this season. A few days gince, a gentleman residing near Oleversbarg, re turning homo from the mountain, remarked to his wife that, had she accompanied him thereto, she oould have seen one of the most imposing sights one oould witness —a herd of deer. She told him “that if he would follow her to the'oeliar, she would show him as flue a book as he had seen in the mountain.” Accompanying her to the eellar, he was surprised to find one of tho finest of the herd, a large buck, which she had slain !. It ap pears that in the early part of the evening she heard the dogs on the premises keep up an unusual noise, and pursuing them, she found that they were “ worrying a large deer.” Seizing it by tho horns, she called for a'Knife, whioh was hastily brought her, when she dispatohed her oaptive. Numbers repair to the settlements for food, whioh, we learn, is very source on the mountain. A Whole Family Poisoned.—A negro hoy, about thirteen yoars of ago, Uvine with Mr. John C. Houston, about two and a half miles be low Harrisonburg,' attempted, on Friday morning last, to poison the whole family Somo arsenio had boen placed in the kitohen loft, tor the pur pose of destroying rats; the hoy found it, and on Thursday or Friday morning embraced an Oppor tunity, when no one was about, to put the poison in the ooffee pot The whole family, exoept Mr H., who was not athome that morning, were taken sick at the table. Dootors Gordon and Williams were immediately galled in, and the lives of tho family saved. Tho hoy was arrested on Saturday night, and lodged in jail. —Rockingham (Pa.) Register. The wealth of tho two great centres of Boston and New York amounts to eight hundred millions of dollars—New York having $525,000,- 000. Boston $275,000 000, or a little more than one-half that of New York. The property of Bos ton is one hundred millions more than that of the city of Philadelphia, and noarly throe times that of Baltimore. It is said that Boston has more property, per capita , than any other olty in the world. Liberal Offer.— I The New York Journal of Commerce says that ” a gentleman who at tended at the Aoadomy of Musio last Sunday eve ning was so muoh impressed by what he saw and heard, as to tho pre-eminent usefulness of the undertaking, that ho doolared to us his readiness to give $lO,OOO toward the erection or purchase of a building for the permanent estahliahmont of Buch servioes.” John Henderson, one of tho oldest and most respeoted of the Sandy Hook pilots, was crushed to death, on Thursday last, between a sohooner and a brig.

The Late Forgeries—Confession of-Pe *s “~We have already given a condensed account or the proceedings in the ea»e of Peterman and Myers, who had their final hearing at the oQce of Recorder Sneu on Saturday last, hut a brief sketch Peter man’s history will not be amiss at the Present' time, and we sincerely hope that their fate may be a timely warning to many young meu who are being allured by the same seductive baits that are held oat by the gilded hells of our city. A few years since, Oeorge P. Peter man was the possessor of an ample fortune, and was looked up to as a very model of uprightness „ and .hep nesty. He was the proprietor or an 7 extensive chair manufactory >in Pecond street, below Coates, and by dint of good management was realizing a handsome in come; but while in the midst of his prosperity, be'was Induced to visit one of the fashionable gambling saloons, and' soon became so faicina&d that' he spent his entire fortune, and became so much reduced that he'was 'obliged to sell his stock for the payment of his debts. Thus reduced. Peterman was enabled, by dint of hard Straggling, to collect enough money together to start a small oigar store fn Poplar street, below Second. In this place it was, that he took the second ttepr in crime, where he perpetrated those extensive forgeries which we have before noticed, and which have con signed him to the feion’scsll. - • Myers and Peterman were .visited at the Hoyamen.- _ sing Prison by their wives, and the interview between them was exceedingly sfftdlrg.Mu were t?*r* r and the remark of Peterman to his wife, that he was iodeed guilty, but that she- ihonld, take-eare -of.tho children and train them to beeome'honorable and use ful citizens, deeply touched the keeper, who was a si lent spectator of the painful aoene. On Sstordsyeven ing, when the prisoners had. been committed by the Recorder, io default of $2,Q00 bail each, Peterman w»a questioned by Mr. Eneu as to the name -Of the friend who would go his security. The reply was a truthful one 44 Recorder, a few years sgo, when I had money, and was spending it freely, I was surrounded by friends, hut now in my guilt and mUfertune, I cannot see one of them!” when Peterman was,removed from the of fice, be wept l£e a child; soil there were few who saw him who did. not feel truly sorry for his condition. That he contemplated suicide was evident from the fact that in his pockets was found a large quanlitv ot arsenate, which was removed by the officers. The cashier of the K-raaingtoo Bank had au interview with Peterman at the exclusion of the hearing, and asked him whether his family had any support. Ha replied that his wife and nine children were at the point of starvation, and that he did not know how soon they would die. Tears were in the eyes ef the cashier, aa he feelingly replied: ,( Make your mind easy, Peter man, for they shall never want while I have the means to provide for them ” That cashier has a true heart, and God will bless the men whose noble deed is the bright side to this brief reedrd of the course of crime— gambling, forgery, and attempted suicide. . Arrests for passing Counterfeit Notes and Ooik —Yesterday morning a man named David Ro berts had a hearing before Alderman Shoemaker, of 4 he Seventeenth ward, on a charge of passing counterfeit three-dollsr notes on the Bank of Newßrnnewick.

They in formed the alderman that they resided in New Hamp shire, and had not been lon< in this city. A number of counterfeit coins were found upon both of the prisoners. The imitation of the gold doll&r is very goed. and la well calculated to deceive. The alderman sent the de fendants before the U. S. Commissioner for a disposition of their case. Important Arrest—Discovery of Goods Stolen a Year Ago —On Monday night of last week, the house of Dr. WetheriU,wbo resides near Norristown, was broken into and robbed of a large quantity of meat, together with other articles. The goods were supposed to have been removed by means of a h ‘Me and wigoa belonging to Dr. WethertU, from the fact that a horse and wagon belonging to the Dr. was found the next morning in the road, a short distance below Norristowa. Dr Wethenll went to Norriitown aod set the police men in search of the thieves, who, having obtained in formation of a horse and wagon havirg been seen stand ing in front of the honse of Abell Bsslck, on Tuesday morning proceeded to search the hoase, and there found a portion of the stolen meat..

Mr. Cassidy made the petition for this order in oonrt about a week since, and on affidavit being made that the artie’es referred to were In custedy of the Mayor’s special police, and were the property of the petitioners, the order was issued and aerved as we have stated The grand jury have ignored all tho bills found against those arrested during the last few months on a charge of keeping gambling places.
