THE FRENCH RAILROAD DEFAULTERS. Resume of this Interesting Case-—-Hew the Operations of the Great Financiers Affect the French People—Tricks on the Bourse— Money Making Munccuvres of the Roths- childs—More Developements of the Same Sort. ‘We published in the Hmraxn of 26th of September last, @ siatemeni, trauslaied from our Freacbh aod Belgian Aies, to x gard to an immente fraud alleged to have been Committed by two or more employés of the Northern Railroad of France, in abstracting and convertiog to their ree of the compapy vaiued at some millions Toe cay subdsequent to tals publication seve fal of ine parties implicated were arrested ia this city, These were Louis Grelet, sub cashter of the company; Eegene Greet, his brother; Auguste Parot, a dealer in horses aud a dabbler in stocks, and MUe Folicite Debud, the trase!ling companion of the latter, ‘The avresis were made th) ough the combined exertions of August Belmont—the New York agent of the Roths. “childs, a couple of Paris and London detectives, and some, ‘of our own etliclent cilicers, The prisoners bad only arrived by the Atlantic some four or five days previously. ‘The ciycumstance which ‘ed to their discovery by the officers was peculiar. Ono of them, Parot, having as- fumed the same of |ebud, had called at the banking ‘bouse of Be mont for the purpose of having French bile tothe umocat of 30,000 francs converted into bullion. Suspicion was awakened that he might possibly be con- nected wiih the frauds of which the houge had been not!- fied. The paper was taken, and the bu'lion prontised to be delivered im the course of thirty days— a period which should necessarily elapse before hearing from Frauce in Tegardio them, and during which the officers hoped to trace out the whereabouts of the other fugitives, Ina few days thereafter Parot came back, and desired to re- possess himself of the paper money. He was desired to call next aay, and was then informed that he could not have it, as it had been transmitted to France. Mortitied and disappoimted, he lef the bank, close ly Jfolowed bz watchful detectives, who traced him toihe Mataran Hotel in Beekman street. Officers were thereupon stationed in the opposite house to look out for the others whom they were in search of. They wore not long kept in suspense, In a few bourse two men came to the house, whom the Frenchman—sent over to identify the parties—immediately pronounced to be the brothers Grelet. They were promptly arrested, as were leo Parot snd Mad’lle Debud. Inthe trunks and bag- gage Of Parot was found 16,900f., and on his person was found 24,000f., making, with the money detained by Bel mont, 70,090, ‘These funds have been retained, although transpired to show the complicity of Parot with the defaulting empioyés, and although he asseve- rates, and produces vouchers to show, that the money ‘was bis own, procured in part by thesale of his horse eatablisument for 46,000f., and of the hotel kept by Mad’ie Debud for 10,000f, The only circumstance that could incuipate lim with the {rapeaction was that, asa stock broker, he bad sold some of the abstracted shares, and also that coupons had bern found in his posscasion. But these avo flimsy evidences on which to arrest or ex- tradite bu, There was no money to any considerable ‘amovat, or shares, or valuables other than personal, found upou or in the possession of any of the other pri- soners. Louis Grelet admitted his culpability, but excul- pated the others, We extract the followirg paragraph from our police Yeport, published a day or two after their arrest:— To various questions put to Mr, Grelet he stated that he and his com ‘wore unwilling to go back to France, ‘and were desirous of sponding remainder of their days tn the United Ali the money they brougat bere with them was tly obteined,* they said, and ‘was given them by their frieuds and relatives previous to their departure from Varia. ‘If weare compelled to go back to Frauce,”’ said Grelet, ‘i will disclose several matters that will compromise the very men who now persecute me, and even great Guanciers who now hold their heads $0 high on the Bourse’ Im the year 1846, when tre wallway company was first chartered, Messrs.

CONVENTION FOR THR SURRENDER OP CRIMINALS. ‘The next step in the proceedings agaiast these per- sops was to procure weir extradition or surrender. It has provet, however, the most difficult of all. The oo- vention belween the two countries provides (or the de- Mvery in either country of prisoners charged with the commiss.on ia the other country of the offence of murder, in tts several grades, attempt to commit murder, rape, forgery, arson, and embezzlement by public officors. There is an additional article to this treaty, made at ‘Washington, between the French Minister, A. Pageot, and Joan C. Cathoun, while the latter gentleman was Secre- tary of State cader John Tyler, dated 94th of Fobruary, ‘1846, and % \s a8 follows:— crime of The the same to be the It & manifest that under the terms of the original con- vention Uhone persoua could pot be legally extradited. ‘They were aot “public officers,” in the common or lege offence “‘om devzlemeot.’' Embezzlement is the frandulently apply- ing to one’s use the goods or property entrusted to one's care and management. If they had made uso of the tunds or property of the Northern Railroad Company, that would v9 embezziement—though still not ‘embezzie- ‘mont by public officers”—but they did nothing of the hind. Tf they did anything at all rendering them amenable to justice, it wae thet they borrowed shares deposited by Baron Rothschild with the rai'road comapen, tor safe keeping, made use of them for purpores of speculation, and failed in the venture.

This proceeding gave rise to a new move on the part of Kotbschild’s agent and law. yers, which was to institute a civil suit against the par- ties for the recovery of the value of the missing shares— over a million of dollars—and to have their ball fixed at balf a million. As it was impossible for them, mere strargers in this community, and with the character of criminals attached to them, to procure such bail, they have been ever since incarcerated in Eldridge street pri son, an institution used for the detention of debtors aad United states prisoners and witnesses. Meantime the criminal proceedings againat them remain ‘m tatu quo, and as to the civil suit, it might continue In litigation for e quarter of @ century. No steps have been taken to have the question determined whether or ot they should be delivered up to the French authoritics to be brought back to France and there punished for their offepee. Although, from our Washingtun telegraphic despatch, published in yesterday’s Hera.p, it would ap- pear that the administration has been consulted with re- ference to it, and that, in our correspondent’s opinion, it is the intention of our government to aliow the extradi- tion of the prisiovers, we cannot, however, coincide in that opinion, simply because we can see no law or justice inthe act. The convention specifies certain offences which will expose persone charged with them to surren- der, but the offence ts net one of those, and canaot be twisted, even by legal machinery, into a synonymity with any of them. We presume too, thet our govern: ment will not be disposed to stretch the line beyond ‘ts proper limits, im reccollection of the recent case, wherein an English subject named Alexander Heilbron was arrested in this city and extradited on acharge of forgery. On his being tried ia England, the Judge who presided, declared the offence to be one ofembezziement mercly—and for such Heilbron was convicted and punished—although his extradition could not bave been asked for if he bad been merely charged with embezzlement. So in this case—ihe strong probability is, that if theso French defaulters were extra- @tod and brought to France, they would be there found guilty merely of breach of trust or of larceny—offences not contemplated within the scope or meaning of the convention, But atter all, the mort important and interesting fea- tures in this very interesting case, are the developements which have sprung out of it im reference to the operations on the Bourse—the mode in which the dabblers in stock are tlecced and victimized by the great financiers, and the little, mean, fraudulent transactions which Rothschild daily has recourse to to increase his gaing and add to bis already immense fortune. We will briefly re- capitulate the statements already published, and ap- Pend some others which were kept in reserve. THE BOURSE USED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. The Bourse, in its present enlarged and comprehensive cbaracter of a popular gambling establishment, re- ceived its greatest impetus and development in 1852, although it bad been tending that way from 1848, At that time (1852) Louts Napoleon was planning his coup d'etat of the 24 of December, aod a command of incaleu- lable funds was absolutely essary toenable him to carry \k out—to attach to him the leading spirits of the army, to recompense his needy followers, and to fur- nish means to support the extrawagances of an imperial court. Im this emergency the Bourse was thought of, and immediately recognized as the very thing to have recourse to, The editors of the influential papers in Paris, and all the groat financiers of the capital were taken into contidencs aud allowed to participate fu the spoils. The programme of operations commenced by giving etocks a fictitious rise. This the capitalists can do at pleasure Then the newspapers cailed attention to the fact of the progressive rise in stocks and of the consequent faciiity of realizing fortunes. Citizens who had afew Sundred or thousand francs to spare were in- duoed gradually to step tothe Bourse and tavest, The rise kept steadily progressing. Large profits were being wade. Foriuves were being actually or apparentiy realized. The excitement spread. It covered not only Paris but the whole country, and men and women began to forget all cther business iu the one absorbing idea of the Bourse, That was the effect which the imperial and fivancial masagors had beon striving for. The fish came to the net in countless shoals, Franco was converted into a nation of spocuators, and the managers behind the acenes, who by ingenious contrivances, political and otherwise, could raise or depress the price of stocks at Pleasure, made fabulous fortunes, of course at the ex Penee of the credulous dabbiers in stock. THE CREDIT MOBILIER. Afverwards, at the proper time, camea fall as re watkable as the rise. Then a now campaign was onter- ed on; but this time under the auspices not of auch a man as l ould, who had become insane, but of a powertu! so ciety, which, by the skilful use of its own immense capi- tal, could elevate or depreciate stocks at its pleasure. Thin society is Known as tho Credit Mobilior, Its capital is sixty mouilions of francs, It was composod of who had becomo rich in the first campaign, asd who added to this tmmense capital their own fortunes, or tor: tunes extracted from the treasuries of companies of which they wore grantees. This brought up tho dispo. sable capital of the Credit Mobilicr to one hundred and twenty millions of Qgmcs. This society, formed with thy object—as tts title denotes—of giving ald to traders who may bave met revorees, became a grand power in the elevation and depreciation of stocks at its own piea- sure and without epparent reason; first, by moans of its powerful capital, and, secondly, by the influence of its managers—an influence acquired by the very Weight of success. Then tho Bourre of Pa. ris became nothing more than an immense stock market, subject to the greatest fluctuations onder this influence. The great events of the war in the Crimea were even powerless in affecting that iniluence. Tet any one imagine to himself un unfortunate specu: lator, depending on bis own counsels alone—turning now to the right, now to the leit=doing everyihing at hazard, and be will soon see what losses he must have been sure to sustain, Shares have varied twenty per cont per week onan average. A person holding a bundred shares, and constantly buying and selling, might, under such fuctu: § Hons, lose 350,000 france in the course of the year. A hundred snares is @ mere trifle on the Bourse. Whon it concerns a thourand shares, it is easy to ece how immense tho losses or gains must be. It ts impossible to give any- thing like a true picture of the extensive ruin inflicted by this Credit Mobilier—a society which found ite idea in the brain of Perriere, the imitator of Rothschild. mM has caused ruin aud devastation, and not a The Crodit Mobilier is the origin of dreds of families, Ite day torday they were citizers in modest HOW CAPITALISTS OPERATE ON THE BOURSR. There ia a variety of ways in which the great capitalist B fpeculating on the Bourse can make tromendous profits} One is by buying up large quantiéies of a certain descrip- tion of stosk when it is low, and then contracting with the company whose stock they have thus bought, and Jaid aside, quietly to bay from them, deliverable at a cer tain time, more of the same stock than is really in the market. As the timo of fulfilling the contract approasher, there is a great demand for that stock, The hoiders are firm, and the price consequently goes up. Then, Roths- child—taking him as the capitalist contracting to buy— will dribble out small parcels of it; and thus, on account of Its very scarcity, (t goes up to perhaps 20 or 30 per cent more than the company contracted to detiver it at— fo that he will actually soll at 80 of 90 the stock deliver. able to himself at 60. Another frequent mode of inflating or depressing stock is by means of the newspaper pres, The mass of small syeculators do not understand the theory of the business they embark in, but look to If they read in the Monitewr oF in the Oonetitutionnal that such and such stock ia sure, On account of certain combinations and ar- raogements made, to advance rapidly in price, they rneh beadforemost to the Bourse, and Invest their savings in that devoription of stowk. If they read in the same way | that ft ts Ifkely ia @ day or two to suffer deprectation, thay ae onensygetingly rush down and sell euch of that stock as they bave. They don’t think at the time that tie ru mor so repeated in the journal haw baen dexiarously yo: font by tome high Anaaclers, who are martng 5 , HERALD, Operation in that stock. And so in covery way they are beguiled. Another very successful mode of operating consists in the great financiers availing themecives of tmportant political intelligence, known only to the Cabinet and some of themeeives, and which affects the rise of all ttocks. For tnstance:— The death of the Emperor Nicholas war known to Louis Napoleon and his Cabinet for two whole @uys before the newspapers were ths interval the great ing tbe rumor that aifurs were in the worat possitie condition—tbat the war wonlé be en interminable one, and ¥0 forth—and succeeded in producing a ful! ot 30 per cent tu the stock known as the French rene; tbo: of courte bo gbt up atthie depreciation. Toen aud- | denly the sunouncement was made that the Cre daz advanced 50 10,000 francs bere | in the purehase ot rené-s, found to- morrow that he had cleared 10u.000 fravce by the trans- actiop, ‘The rs. iid, Foald and the . great fpanciers, Credit Movilier, who would probably fanaa, Ply the mage, weal io the eS profit * operations were per with ke success by means of some three or four ultime- tums, said to be accepted or refused—as would best suit the object—duripg the continuance of the war. So at the close of the war. Tho common Fagor ned bourse were never 80 confident of refusal of the Czar to acrept the last witimatum of tne allied Powers than they were the very day before the restoration of peace was officially announced in the Monifeur, and use @ million of | stocks were consequently in the lowest of de: lion, And yet 48 hours before its I vernment had received information of the fast; and interim was ovtilized for stock jobbing opperations. When it is known that at least balfa dozen times in the course of a year were these measures resorted to and these operations made, one may imagine, though he cannot, perhaps, reslize the tremendous profits made by the great capitalists at the expense of the French people. It was under such influences end subject to such temp- tations that the employ és of the Groat Northern Railroad bad recourse to the Rothschilds’ shares to enable them to speculate, until they found tbat they, in common, with ail the minor speculators, were victimized by the great financiers of France. M. ROTHSOHILD'S MINOR DEVICES. We have at various times given instances of the men- ner in which this millionaire contrives to make profitable speculations of a minor character. We have showa how he made 376,000 francs at one time from the Northern Railroad by withholding payment of an instalment until the company was driven to issue bonds, which wore told at half price, bought up by him, and used at their full value im the payment of that instalment. We baveahown what a snug thing he makes by appro- prlating to himself unclaimed shares, which should go to the account of profit and loss; and what a penchant he bad for making liberal presents of property belonging to the Company. And we have further glanced at his ope- rations in the exchange of bullion, facilitated by his assu- ming the privilege of transporting it free of express over the Nortbern Railroad to the confines of Belgium and to the ports of France. Today we propose te give a fow other facts of the same general character, just for the Purpose of showing to what contemptible—some might say, fraudulent—measures, this Baron Rothschild stoops in his profession of money-making. ‘The Northern Railroad of France has an arrangement ‘with one of the Belgian railroads for the common trans- portation of travellers and freight, and also with the nies receives the fares for the other, and gives what are known in the United States as “through tickets.” But as tbe extent of the lines of these two Belgian and English railroads is much iess than that of tho Northern Railroad of France, it follows that the former are always indebted to the latter under this arrangement. Well, in regulating their mu tual accounts it might be supposed tba! they would cor- respond directly with each other, and save the expense of commission, Butno, M. Rothechild has mado a dif- ferent, and to him a more profitable arrangement. He requires that the Belgian and English companies shall pay what they owe to the French Northern into bis houses in | Brussela and London, on which he makes the Iatter com- pany allow him half of one per cent commission. This annual movement amounts to about 4,000,000f.,, and his commission thereon is 20,000. For ten years past be bag been carrying on this game. He does the same every the Company bas transactions with Belgium or Eog. la’ ‘The following example is sufiiciently striking :-— In 3865 the Northern Ratiread Company had purchased in Scotland. The merchant might bave drawn directly on the company for that sum, free of expente, But M. Rothschild managed the matter, and received half of one Per cert commussion from both payer and recoiver—50, 000 france. M. Rojbschiid ,has bad the cuteress to make the Northern Ralroad Company subservient to his intercsts (m another matier of not lees importance., He owns in quality. In 1848 be proposed to the company a bargain | by which itagreed to burn only bis coal, and that at a price calculated at ive per cent more then the aonual | average of the price of coal. Assume that the company uses %,000,000f, worth of coal annually, and then the extortion made by Rothschild im this item amounts to 10,0008, But bere is another transaction of his, which, in al! countries and in all tongues can only be designated as robtery. Two years ago the company desired to enlarge ite depot im Paris, and required an adjoining piece of ground for that purpose. Rothachild bought that plece of ground for 1,000,000f., and,immedsately sold it to the company at 3,000.000f. There was no difficulty in the way, for be was himeelf both judge aud suitor. ‘This is the way that Mr. Rothschild exploits with the Northern Railroad Company and manages tho affairs of the sbarcholders, Nor does he confine bimsell to grand speculations. He does not disdain the meanest, but avails bimself of covery occasion to benefit himself or his nincompoop of a nephew, got the company to give him a sinecure with a salary of 6,000 francs. Since then that nephew bas drawn his salary regularly, withont render- ing amy sort of service or making bis appearance at the office twice a month. There area variety of instances which might be ad duced to exhibit the sordid character of this financier, Wut we think (hat those which we have given will suflice | for the present; and we imagine that the developements which have ariren and are to arise out of the circumstance of the arrest of these railroad defauiters, will have the effect of opening the eyes of the French people to the manner in which they are awindlod and victimized by conacienceless financiers. We have done our duty to promote that obj«ct. | Coroner's Office.
