I came bere ap bonest man, not a vagabond, Mr. Whiting Thst is ail. Mr. Reorom stated that Mr. Mulford bad been sabpa- Beed, but was not present; he therefore wished to prove service of the summons, in order that he should be de- ciared ip ho van PN = Ogden—Let us go through with one contempt at atime arcby Weieh, crier of tac court, wae next calied, and on being eworn, deposed that bo fad conversed with Mr. Harcke about the affair, and told bim he was ina tight pace; Mr. Huncke said that he was mapovent, that be did not see Mies Biount go away, aid not know who she went ‘with, where she went to, or where she was then. Judge Ogoer—Have you apy more testimony ? Mr. Deming—Tbat ia all. your Bonor. Mr. Deming then addreesed the Court as follows:—May it please the Court, it appears toat in this canse the object of the proceedings is to prove that John funcke bas been guilty of contempt of Court, ona writof habeas corpus, jeswed to bim to produce the bodies of Mrs. and Miss Fantly J. Blount. Ip the course of the investigation we Dave cocupied some time, and it bas been for the purpose, of , of showing tbat Mr. Huncke bad been-guilty of fe brought against him. It will be remembered originel return was ceemed unsatiafa to the Court, and that it waa required to be amended; why it was ae DOL eatiefactory; it was said that Mr Huncke hao stated that Miss Blount left ihe hotei without his knowledge; that be knew perfectiy well where ahe went, with whol © went, snd where she coulda be found—it in vpew these points that! understand the issue of the coptempt. Technically, the return ts truc from beginning wend. We find, from the testimony of Mies rlount, that Mr. Buncke did not know the time she loft the hotel, or that be hed ao to do wih it; ‘that be did not consult with ber upon the sudject;and it shows conctusively that Mr. Huncse did not know aay- ‘thieg about the arrar; or the intention to taxe her to Bizabetb City. je was tof the entire facts, which stapcs uncontradicted. It will bo remembered that the order for the carriage was left at the ber, and Mr. Huncke was ixnorant of what and fi whom it was ini ) OF where it 3 to go after it hed reached the polnt it was craered to. tend, with al! good faith, that Mr. Burcke’s ao the amended return was satisfactory. He relied enurely upon bis counsel at that time (Mr. Mul- tore). avd s’ated 1o him ail the facts, expecting tuat he would piece it al! in the return, The fact that he speaks very bed Eng'ieh, * ap upecucated man, aod when call- ed ©) piace his signature to that which bas been proved to be fase, if he cid it unkwowipg'y, ana supposed that ail was right, then | appeal to tho voart if he cannot be excured jor making sid reply I leave it to your owa inference whether cr not @ man better convers:nt had gone to after she had left Elizabeth Oity.

Mr Whiting then rose and stated that all he bad to say was, that be wished bis learned friend would only follow bir exemple, He could only ray that the prayers of the wicked availeth not. He feared not the face of day tp the performance of his duty. Th conid look back upon, and upon not oe that he ever regretted Meman, be bad proved by him just what he said would, and that was ali tha: Le desired to do. As tot Poniehmeot the Court might infiict, whatover it was, it would be sauusfactory to hem The Oourt here took a recese for half an hour, the Judge requerting Wr. Buncke to remain in corr. At three o'clock the Court again convened, when vndge Ogden requested Mr. Huncke to tate a seat in front thie bevob.

Our Paris Correspondence. Panis, July 1, 1868, Prince Napoleon Declines the Appointment to Al- geria—The Reason Why—The Emperor gets a bit of Good Advice—How he took It— Restrictions of the Press Removed—The Ministerial Coach in Danger—The Weather—Dearth of Visiters in Paris—The Russian Prince and Princess Yous- sonpoff— Movements of the Emperor and Em- press—Exports— Festivities at Rouen—The Thea- tres, &e. The observations I made respecting the appoint- ment of Prince Napoleon to the government of Algeria have proved the soundness of the information Thad received. I stated that the Prince had been ad- vised against accepting any office which necessitated a residence abroad—that in the event of @ catastro- phe in France the salvation of the Bonapartist dy- nasty would depend on his presence—that thero were special elements in his character which particu- larly adapted him to the performance of a conspicuous part, and that there were many reasons for believing it might be one of lasting success and revown. Tho Prince, who unquestionably possesses talent, it ap- pears, shortly and bluntly told his cousin, the Empe- ror, that he did not consider the state of France anch as justified his absence. From the attentat of the lith of January, he declared that each step of the government had been in a downward direction, and that it was his firm and conscientious be- lief that unless a more popular epirit were infused into the administration of affairs, the days of their house were numbered. The Empe- ror listened, as is hia wont, in impertnrbable silence, and his cousin, being en train, dashed on. He pro- tested that the country was ripe for immediate re- volt, that the real trath was hidden from the Empe- ror, with all bis legion of officials, and that unless the present military system was relax- ed, greater latitude allowed to~ journalism, & less harraesing machinery of espionage adopted, and a gradual approximation made to more popular government, inevitable destruction to him and bis dypasty was at hand. Two days, lam as sured, pawwed away after thin exter ordinary inter- view, Prince Napoleon making no secret of the Algerian scheme baving broken down, when he was suddenly summoned to Fontainblean, On his en- tering the Imperial Cabinet he fouod the Emperer all smiles and acquiescence. His Majesty said he had deeply considered the subject of their last con- versation, and, without broaching the matter to any other party, he had drawn up a plan which he trusted would meet the Prince's views, Then having made known his inteation of gradaally concedin, greater liberty to the press, his resolution to mabetl- tute Delangie for Expinasse in the Ministry of the Interior, and to strengthen his hands generally in a more popular administration of his duties, he stated his wish that the Prince should accept the govern- ment of Algiers, while still remaining in France to give him the benefit of his counsels, and that for that purpose he proposed his immediate eutry into the administration. “I wish you, my cousin,” said the Emperor frankly, “to enjoy all the honor of the popular concessions; that they shall seem to derive their origin entirely from your presence among us, and I hope most sincerely that by your aid we shall enter upon a less hazardous state of affairs than that which, I fear, exists at present.” My information respecting these details is of the Most authorative character, and may be safely relied on, Already restrictions as to the sale of journals in the streets have been relaxed, and the interdicted Independance Belge is once more in our hands. What results will follow the admitted influence of Prince Napoleon into the imperial councils must be left to time to disclose. Many predict that his Im- perial Highness is much more likely to upset the ministerial coach than anything else. Whatever talent the quondam Prince of the Mountain pos- sextes is obscured by the excessive hauteur of his temper, which can neither brook restraint or contra diction. His antecedents are all greatly aguinst bim; and whether as deputy in the National Assem- bly, Ambassedor to Spain Genera in the Crimea, or Conductor-in- Chief of the Grand Industrial Exhibi- tion, he has been tried in the balance and found wanting. But there is an old proverb which speaks of a lane being very long indeed that has no turning, and it is to be hoped it may be found oo to the Prince once more entering a career which caanot fail to fix the eyes of the world upon him. The weather is oro Honest, ans a tempera- tore prevails which admits of exposure to the son without fear of a coup de soletl. Rain is sadly re- uired My. the parched vegetation, though it ix un- derstood hat the corn crops everywhere have a most romising aspect. The vines never looked more thriving The want of rain in the city is being painfully feit, ood the river is so low that th @ short time it is declared the water cart must cease alto- ther. Oars was never so devoid of visiters at this period of the year as at it. English and Americans seem entirely to have bid it farewell. Furnished opartments may be had at very low prices; indeed, there is no demand whatever for them. The hotels look dreary and forsaken, and the Louvre has not one-third of its complement. The Emperor left St. Cloud yesterday morning for Plombieres. Previous to his are the Prince and Princess Youssonpoff “had an andience to take leave.
