Traupmann’s “Ideal” from Eugene Sue. The London ews of the 29uh of September reports from Paris thus:—“The additional particulars whicb have reached ua respecting the Pantin tragedy clearly establizh that the seventh body discovered ts that of the younger Kinck. It has been identified by the prisoner Traupimann, AS in the case of the other bodies, it was found quite accidentally by one of the passers-by. Directly tne news became known, the crowd, which was aiready considerable, rapidiy increased, and im @ slort tme #0,000 per- sons, 1% 13 esumated, were on the spot, Milt- tary assistance had to be obtained before the corpse could be conveyed to the Morgue. The place where it was lying was about thirty yards from that where the other bodies had been ouried. The Zernps of yesterday evening, in an- oiner leauing article on the subject, draws attention to @ statement in @ journal published tn Havre, which represents that Traupmapna, while in that town, retiarked to an acquaintance whom he causu- ally made there, that the Abbé Kodin in Eugene Sué's “Wandering Jew’ was his ideal, The object with which that character 13 exclusively occupied in the novel is the extermination of the scattered members of a whole family tn order to obtain their inheritance, The Temps says that it does not, in consequence of this circumstance, charge the mewory of Eugene Sué with part of the responsi- biity in Traupmann’s crime, a81618 not in such a harrow and superficial manner that the influence of liction is to be judged.

Lord Clarendou’s Speech on the [rish Lund Question—The Coming Soci: Revolution— Rights of Property~The Foreign Situation. As already announced by special cabie telegram to the HewaLp, Lord Clarendon addressed the members of the West Hertfordshire Agricultural Society, at Watford, England, on the 27th of September, elabo- rating in bis speech the main points of the govern- ment position aud argument on the Irish land ques- tion, and reviewmg, towards the close, the forcign sitdation, After a few preliminary remarks Lord Clarendon referred to the position of the House of Lords towards the people, and continued as tol- lows:— * * * Jagree with Lord Ebury that when men of different opinions meet together for one common parpose it wouid be injurious to the harmony which essential for that purpose, and @ grievous sn against good taste, to introduce political subjects, and they are therefore, as a general rule, excluded. I say “as a general rue,” because that proverbiaily implies exceptions, and I Know no rule in which ex- ceptions are more often made. eres and laughter.) But the speaker always knows he can be calied to order, and he always obeys the call when made, however important he may think ft may be for mankind to learn his views and opin- ions. (Laughter.) I say, then, that I feel some diitcuity im not making an exception to this Tule, because this year the House of Lords has been subjected to vehement attacka, It may be said that it has beén put upon its trial, and I feel that I could neither vindicate nor blame nor explain the course of policy which bas been pursued without adverting to that great question whieh, almost to the exclusion of every other, occupied the attenuion of Parliament last session, and which ought not to be brought into the arena oi discussion on thia occasion. (Hear, hear.) But having been a member of that House now for more than thirty years, having been @ regu- jar attendant in It, and to the best of my ability hav- ing observed the spirit in which Its proceedings have been copducted, | will say, Without any odious com- parisons, that in respect of knowledge, eloquence, ability and experience, It stands second to no other legislative assembly in the world. (Cheers) Nor can this be wondered at when we considef how the House of Lords ts recruited, and the amount of new blood which 1s constantly being poured into that body. The House of Lords has been jeered at for not more often mitiat- ing measures, and still more jeered at for the brevity of its debates. With respect to the first, 1 believe the fault lies matniy witu the House of Commons, who are naturally jealous of the right toherent in tuem, as representatives Of the people, to impose taxes. But I think that with @ little good willa proper and useful anderstanding might be arrived &t by which the iitiative might be taken in the House of Lords on measures which, though they might contain money clause’, were not in reality bills for taxing the people, (Cheers.) With respect to the second matter, the brevity of our debates, I think that 1s mainiy attributable to @ laudable cus- tom in the House of Lords of not speaking when we have nothing particular to say. (Laughter and cheers.) An imitat of thatexample in what ig called “another piace’ would be of advantage, and might be attended with very great economy of time and no less eilicioncy in the transac. tion of public business. (Laugbter.) The House of Lords, gentlemen, 14 not a representative hody, but it 18 & responsible body. It 18 responatble to the country—(bear, hear)—it knows tt and it feels tt; and three months ago it gave @ signal proof of tt. (Cheers.) 1 say, therefore, that there is nothing in the loag run to be apprehended from the House of Lords. There is po reason for the assumption that after a due course of time the House of Lords will ever oppose itself to what is the acknowledged ana the admitted ae of the country. (Uheers.) 1 say, therefore, that there is no apprehension on that score, But the House of Lords has been reproached, and | must say with some kind of reason, with not going last enough—that it did not, in fact, seize the rea.ities of public opinion and was not alive enough to the enormous progress—the astounding progress — of intellectual activity in teverything which distine guashes the age in which we live, and which makes us live a century in Weirty years. (Hear, bear.) I will ask anybody here what would have been thought of aman Who, thirty years ago, had predicted that Wwe should, with ease and convenience, go across Europe, trom Marseilies to London, in twenty-four hours; that the traveller, on arriving in London, should be able to learn, by means of a bit of wire 2.000 miles long, buried at the bottom af the ocean, that a freend of his had had his leg amputated in Philadelphia or New York flve minutes before, and that by taking tivo or three sniffs of a vapor he was unconscious of pain, What would have been sald of @ man Who asserted that he would command the sn to take our portraits, or (hat a conservative gov- ernment would establish housenola su e? (Much Jaughter and cheers.) I think that such a man, only thirty years ago, would have been considered fit for Bedlam; and we know from hiswory, and not such very ancient history, that many men have been tor- tured at the Inquisition, aud even burnét alive, for expressing views and opinions far more sober than these, But what would you think of the man who, when these benefits had been realized, would say, “No; I prefer to go to Marseliles in six days in my own diligence. Nothing would induce me to receive a bit of tniormation by tele graph; 1 greatly preter agony tw chioroform, and rather than have housenoid suitrage, 1 irmiy beileve that a finer measure to make snug and comfortable wouid be the restoration of rotten voroughs."’ (Laughter and cheers.)

The fact of the drowning of Patrick and Ellen Cully, brother and sister, aged respectively six and twelve years, at the foot of Tenth street, Hast river, on Friday last, has already appeared in the Haran. ‘Their mother, @ poor but worthy and industrious woman, was nearly frantic when she heard what had befallen her children, and commenced imme. diate search for the bodies, It continued without intermission tili late on Sunday afternoon, when the rematns were recovered by grappling and taken oy an ofMicer of the Eleventn precinct to the resi- dence of the almost heartbroken parent, at No, 634 East Ninth street, where Coroner Keenan was notified to hold an mquest. Jt appears that the deceased children went down to the river to see the high tide which had been predicted on that day, While waiking on Tenth street pier, which ig represented to be in a very unsafe and even dan- gerous condition, they stepped into a hole about twenty inches tu width by neariy twenty feet in length, caused by the removal of a plank, and were drowned. The strong ebb tide which prevatied at the time carried the boules out of sight immediately, and rendered all eiforta at rescue futile, By those who have examinea the plier it 18 pronounced to be dangerons ior persons to venture upon at cither day or night, Many planks had been removed from the floor, besides which othera had oeen broken, thus taking numerous ‘mantraps,” and, consider- ing the length of time the pier tas remained in its Present condition, 1b 18 somewhat remarkable that other casualues of @ similar nature have not occurred there. Who owns or has charge of the dangerous pier seems to be somewhat uncertain, but the owners of the Dry Dock Bank are represented to be tho resyponsipie parties. Those having possesion of the pier, however, yesterday set to work vigorously making repairs, and soon, doubtiess, it will be made perfectly secure, A jury was empanelied, and, after viewing the remains, Coroner Keenan adjourned the investigation until Wednesday morning.

But while this duty requires care and caution on the one side, it ts equally oblizaiory on you nut wo permit your minds to be mfkenced by tear, iavor or aifection, to withhold an iudictiment when you have reason te believe a crime has been comuitted, The siatuves of this State-require the judges of tue crimmal courts, in churging grand jurors, to cad thew atcention to several matters, with special in- structions to inquire into the violation of such atatutes:— #.rst—The constitution of the Stave and the lawa passed in compliance therewith pronitat the geiting up and drawing of any lostery wishin Las State and the sale of any tickets in Lotteries, Whether drawn” tu tus ptate or etsowiere, S-oond—'The act to regulate the sale of intoxicatin, iquors, Suvsequent statutes pruaibic the sale 0: iquors without iicense and regulate tre mode and ume ot selling. ‘Tne violauion of this law is maue a oriminal offence, ‘ibrd-—There 13 also a'statute intended to prevent fraud in the sale Of passage tickets on steamboats and other vesseis—muinly intended for the protec- Uon of emigrants from other piaces—and you are to inguire into any violations of that act. Fourth—The violations of the act respeoting elec- tions by persons ihegaily voung are declared Ww be oifeaces, calling for examivation by you i brougat to your notice, There 13 also a law which I under- stand has been passed thus session which 1s said to be an act for the suppression of te trade in obscene liverature or articles for immoral use and obscens adveitisements of patent medicines, ihe laws ef this session have not yet been published so-as to reach the judges. I know nothing of use conteats of the law further than the tile; but I understaud 1 am directed by it to call your attention to tus Statute also, and to say that it 18 your duty, if aay violauon of 16 is brougut betore you, to present the party ior trial, # jth—lt 18 also a criminal offence for a pubilo officer to demand, charge or receive fees greater taan allowed by law. If any violation these Sbalutes 18 brought to your noace and the evidence shows the person charged to be pruna Jacie guity, it is your duty to find an indictment against tim. Siash—I am also directed to call your attention to the statute against usury and to imstruct you to in- quire into any violations of the provisions of this law. Of the wisdom of-continuiag the law in all Wa provisions as to the rate of interest for tne use of money there 1s great duference of opinion, while ont of the large places of pusiness the value of money may be more stationary, and these restrictions do not operate injuriously to either borrower or leuder; yet W is not so in the great marts of trade or cum- merce, where, from a variey of causes, the vaiue of money is coustantly changing, and higher rates of interest than are allowed by law may be advan- tageously paid by borrowers. But while we may doudt as to the beneficial effects of this law in all its results the power of amendment ts not with us, but with the Legislature. Our duty 18 to enforce the law as we find it, and your duty requires you, if any compiaint is made of its violation, to inquire into such complaint and present the guilty parties for trial. Notwithstand- ing, some time since, tae passage of a law proltibit- ing the use of concealed weapons and the carrying of them about the person tae iaw seems vo be disre- gatded; and the numerous homicides that occur in tnts city ave to be traced mainly to the violation of Uns iaw. if is seidom that tuere is brougut to your notice a case of deiverate murder in tmis city; | mean & deiloerate murder prepared beforehand and commitved with weapons prepared tor tbat pur- pose. Most homicides that tae piace in this city occur from the result of passion at the moment; the party being armed witn a Knife, pistol or some other concealed Weapon in the heat oi passion draws itand the lite is taken. There 1s @ statute of this State also which makes it a oriminal offeace for any person for a gratuity or reward to agree to com- pound or conceal a felony or to aostain from any prosecution therefor or vw withhuld any evidence thereof, It has become a very general practice of late where felonies have been committed and large amounts of property stolen to negotiate with the criminal and make the restoration of the whole or part of tue property a condition upon which the injured party agrees not to prosecute the oifender, While this does not come directly within the provi- sions of the stavute, its demoraiizing effect on the administration of justice ana the prevention of crime is very apparent. 1Lis not uncommon for parties who have thus obtained the property of others felontously to negotiate with the injured party for a returp of his property on a specified gratuity on a promise not to prosecute the offender. The aid of the police officer 18 also invoked for the same purpose, and we tnus have the oitlvers of justice negotiating between the criminal and the injured ‘ty forareturn of the stolen property and for immunity to the offender. While all proper exer- tions to recover the stolen property are coumenda- bie, yet when such exertions are coupled with a promise of immunity to the offender it seems rather to encourage than to prevent crime, and to hold out to offenders the prospect of avoiding punishinent by returning part of the scolea property, and at the same time receiving a reward torso doing. The numerous cases which have occurred in which such negotia- tuons have taken place and the property been pai tially restored, while the criminal escaped punisn- ment, must be fresh within your recollection, Although most of these cases may not be criminal, Btill the evil Consequences of such compromises of felonies are so great as to call for a strict emiorce- ment of this statute i every case which may be pre- gented to you aud what comes within 1t3 provi- sions, and at the same time to render caution asaty in making such arrangements, lest should expose the parties making them to a criminai prosecation. 1 do not feet at liberty to omit calling your attention to & provision of law making it a criminal offence for two or more persons to con- spire togetier to commit any act injurious to the public morals or to trade and commerce, It is not of unfrequent occurrence that acts of this character, by agreement between two or more persons to con- trol the rates of Ireights on canals, or an association among carriers for the purpose of increasing their charges, oragree ment to prevent bidding for articies or property sold at auction, are contrary to the public interests, aad are void, 1n one of these cases such an arrangement to fix rates of freight in the different lines Of boats on the canals, from which neither should deviate, and all to share In the profits, was held to be ® conspiracy to Commit an act taja- rious to trade, and came within the provisions of the statute, So an agreement to raise wages and to prevent any from working for less sums than are agreed on has been held to be & Conspiracy injurious to trade. ‘The offence consists not in doing an act to raise the price of an article or in doing any ovher.act with such gf intent, but tn agreemg beforehana to do such acts and in preventing the associates from domg otherwise. You can see from the nature of this offence the bearing it has upon matters that have come wittin the notice of everbody for some time past. Ido not say to you that any of the late occurences in this city which have caused so much distress and m througn the community came within the provisions of this statute and ex the parties concerned to the liabilities under It, use the facts connected with those transactions are not suMciently within my Knowledge to warrant me in expressing any opinion thereon; but where transac- tions of this character take place, causing so much derangement of business, and inflicting such injuries on the trade and commerce of the country, tt may well be the duty of the Grand Inquest of the county, a8 it is undoubtedly within their province, to inqnire whether such occurrences have been brought about by any uniawtiul combination, and if so, to present the guilty parties for trial. I believe, gentlemen, these are ali the subjects that have occurred to me and to which t¢ {# necessary { should call your attention at the present time. inthe transaction of your buat- ness you will remember that you must have not lesa than sixteen present. ‘Iwelve of you mug agree betore you can find an indictment. Unless twelve do 4 it is your oo oe dismiss the complaint, and it is also my duty to tell you when you do find an indictment agamsta person for felony and such erson 18 not under arrest you areto keop it a pro- found secret. If you should disclose it it would expose you to an indictment for misdemeanor. With these remarks, gentlemen, you will please proceed to the discharge of your duties, THE GRAND JURY, ‘The following are the names of the Grand Jury:— Foreman, Charles H. Haswell; Jurors, John K.
