By the European mail of the 29th of March at this port we have the French and English newspaper mail accounts of the concluding scenes of the Bona- parte-Noir trial at Tours, We addresses of counsel to ‘the jury, the rendition of the verdict of “not guilty,” ‘and the acquittal ana discharge of Bonaparte. Counsel to the Jury. [Tours (March 26) corresponaeuce of the Paris Galignau..} To-day tne crowd m the court was, If possible, More numerous than on (he previous days, from the anxiety to bear tue charge of the Public Prosecutor. An incident which caused some excitement was the arrest of M, de Fonvielic a8 he Was about to enter the Palace of Justice. He was removed to the prison to undergo the sentence of ten days’ imprisonment to which he was condemned two days back for nis violent lauguage in court. ‘The Procureur Géneral Grandperret, m com- mencing his requisitory, replied to certain oojec- tious Which nad been made against the High Court of Justice by both ine inends and enemies of the accused, and whica the former cousidered as a periious immunity, while the latter touxed on ht as @ Mark oO! favor tothe Prince, but justice, which was above any feeling of either hosulity or sym. pathy, found @ guarantee of eS, in the superior jurisdiction which the law had established, He warned the jury not to aliow themselves to be anfuenced by any considerations foreign to the case, and then recapitulated the crreuimstances which had Jed w the meiancholy event. ‘the tearned gentle- man attached great importance to the evidence Of the Witness Villion, Who five days berore the event bad. while making @ purepase at a woollen draper’s shop, overteard @ conversation in which it was said that Prince Pierre was to ve chal- Jenged, and that if he would uot fight, be was to be Killed, ‘ihe speaker thea contiuued;—i do not nesi- tale to say that Grousset in Gemanding a reparation had no other ovject 1a view than to provoke a scan- dal. The deata oi Vietor Noir ts in @ great measure to be laid vo the Charge of that group of men of ex- treme opipious wae lun to Auteuil, and to that disgracetai press Which insults everyUing, and of which the envenomed attacks are a danger to tae country. (Applause, Witch was immediately sap. pressed by tne resident.) The Prince’s verson appears to us to present great ¢ tency, put nevertheless it does not discharge him trom atl cu- paouity, if Victor Noir aad been firse struck oy the Prince, a8 attempis have been wade to prove, would he not have immediately bounced ou lis aggressor; would he have allowed tue accused to draw back, and have quietly waited while the otuer took aim at wim and fred? — Victor Noir was young ar Wand Liapetuo The state of w une house must b: > Kaew thal Koche- Us seconds wer nd bis object was to pre ue ug the tir imeviti "Lhe body also cat wuily amined, but while on che contrar. of the Prince were Know, endeavored to Morel on Lie sunject, avle map, and wor st Honor: ino, all beliet; tb deparung irom che courteous habt!s kL must suppose are usual Wibu him, gave way to singwiar attacks against tae deciarauous of Dr. Yaruiew. 4 may remark that this last 13 4 man ol science, which title Dr, Vine earn, I thereore beheve that the blow given by the victim determined the pistol shot irom the Prince, who fired on Victor Noir, not Lo detend fh own life, but to avenge an mbuit which he had received. tHe was ied Lo the act oy indignation and anger, but not by fear, ‘imereiore tuis was not a case Of legitumate de ce, but @ Chastisement | am 80 convinced Of Lhe truth of that view as not to | admit that de Fonvielle had his pisvol im His hand when Victor Noir struck the accused, as Jor the two acts to have been simultaneous, they must have been concerted bejorehand. ‘The Prince admits that he fired ai de Fonvicile each time that ine iaiter aimed at him, and if the accused had been driven to such resistance from fear of fis own life, the danger would have appeared to him to come from tne adversary who was armed, and not trom the one Who carried no Weapon. ‘Therefore | say again that the outsage aloue ied tw ine first pistol shot, and that the accused received a provocation, but was nov in @ case of legiti- mate defence, hutiace must guide you in pass- dog the verdiet of condemnation which we demand from you.

(Applause and great emotion.) M. Leroux, couuse! for the prisoner, then addres- sed the Court. Tue learned advocate drew partica- Jar attention to the incitent in tue course of whicn M. de Fonvielle called the Prince a murderer and shouted out A mori! adding that the calmesc m might become excited under such circumstance he was sure thai the jury bad pardoned his ci for whatever basty expression be bad used. ‘tf advocate then proceeded to give a@ si of the Prince’s career and an explanation of the charges of violence which had been brought against him.

Leroux) in nis office he would have acted pre- cisely ag nis client had done. (Agitation.) M. Demange, the other counsel for tie accused, next spoke, and declared that after the admiravie address just deitvered he really had no occasion to address tne jury, but he felt bound to present a few remarks. We have nere, he said, adversaries of various kinds, and some most violent, who demand the Prince’s head. i pay no attention to imem; but L desire to repiy Lo the Procureur Général, who said that the accused ougut not to have mixed himeeif up With the quarrels of journalists. But the pris- oner 13 @ man of warm aflections, and when he saw the members of his tamily the object of de- famatory attacks he naturally rushed to their defence. In examining the evidence the cou- clusion is inevitable that a plot existed to excite tue prisoner to some act of violence, and surely & Bonaparte has as good aright to defend himself as apy other citizen. The deatn of Noir ought not to be iaid at tne door of the Prince, but at that of the injudicious inends wno had urged on the unfortu- mate young man in his aggressive mission, ‘The High Jory, which represented the whole or France: ‘would reverse the verdict which was said to have been given on the day of Noir’s faneral by 200,000 citizens, namely, “Bonaparte is infamous and ‘Would deciare tnat we irince had never iaied in | onducting himself honoraoly. (Loud applause, | which the oficers in vain tried to repress.) ‘The counsel fur the parlie civile then stated that after the address of the Procureur Gon.rai taey ree nounced their right of reply. The court rose in considerable agitation, The Judge’s Charge—The Finding of the Jury. Galignani’s Messenger of March 29, continues the { report of the case as follow: | ‘The High Court of Justics met at noon, when | than on pre NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1870.—TRIPLE Assigning its just weight to each part. He then Passed successively in review the ments of the ‘various counsel and of the Procureur Général. “The Moment has at length come, gentlemen of the jury," he added, terminating, “to impose silence on tne ardent passions which have p!ayed only too proint- nent a part in this long trial. I have only one wora more to say to you, namely—to consctentiously dis- charge your duty.” THE LEGAL ISSUE OF QUERY, ‘The President then read over the questions on which the jury would have to decide:— Firet--a Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte guilty of hav- ing, o the 10th of Jaguary last, coummitted voluntary hom: jelde on the person of Yvan Salmon, alias Victor Noir ‘Secnud--Was the said voluntary homicide preceded or fol lowed by an attempt to commit a similar offence on the per #0n of Cire de Fonvielle, as apecttied below?

POST OBIT NOIR CLAIMS, M. Laurier then, in the name of Louis Noir, pre- sented a demand tor the Prince to pay all the costs of the proceedings, and M. Bernheim, Avoue, claimed 100,000 francs damages for the father and mother of the unfortunate young man who had been killed, ‘The Prince, in reply, declared that he would infinitely rather give 200,000 francs to the poor. As the Prince aid not wish to remain in court dur- ing the arguments concerning the damages ciaimed, the Procureur Genéral signed at once the necessary papers for his retiring. ‘ihe audience was thep $us- pended to aliow the court to consult on the applica- uons made, ‘The Court, after an hour and a half’s detiberation, accorded 25,0001. to M, and Mme. Noir (or Salmon) parents of the deceased, and condemned Prince Pierre to reimburse to the partie civilejall Uke cosis of the suit, STEPPING FORTH FREE. A scene of great excitement ensued on the Prince appearing outside the doors of the Palais de Justice, not only bis frends, put an smmense crowd, cheeri ng tum loudiy. ‘The Princess and her children having come to the Court to learn the resuit more quickly, shared in the ovation. ‘Yhe Prince and his family proceeded to the Hotel de P Univers, outside which a great number of per- sons remained during the evening. HOW THE PRINCE WAS KBUEIVED—AMERICAN CON- GRATULATION The Prince arrived at the Hotel de I'Untvers in a hackney coach, accompanied by M. de Grave aud Commander Ramolino, An immeuse crowd sur- rounded the vehicie, and the armed force tal some aumeulty tn clearing # passage for it. Cries of “Vive le noel? were heard on aii sides. Many affecting scenes were witnessed. Some of the gendarmes the hand of the Prince and Kissed 11.

Marsbai Baraguay-d’Hilliers and the Prefect waited on him to congratulate him, An American, named Anderson, left nis card, with the words: “Avec mes sinceres felicitalions.”? A large number of English and American ladies also seat flowers to the Princess, whose apartments was filled with them, In the evening the Prince gave a dinner to some intimate Iriends, among whom were Commander Choussaron and bis wite, Commander Ramolimo, M. de Lavruyere, &c. After dinner there was a reception in which Cor- sica was targely represented, During the repast tne Prince received a letter from @ private sailor ot the Arthemise announcing the transmission by his com- rades of 4 chest of oranges, Conclading Incidents—Away for Paris. A letter from Tours of the 28th of March say: Ulric de Fonvielle bas not lett Tours for Paris, but will probaoly pass his ten days of imprisonment where he is, tn @ cell of tae penitentiary. Some im- abitants of this place send him wine and pro- visions, and, on the whole, he has no reason to com- plain of ns situation. The Prince had offered, instead of damages, which he refused to the family of the deceased, 20,000 francs tor the poor of Tours. Since the civil condemnation he has declared that the indigent shall lose nothing, and that ne will himseil bring to them the sum in question, He left for Paris by the one o’clock train OF eae nignt. A great crowd had collected see bim puss. ‘The expenses of the trial are estimated wt 110,000 franca.

That question, which your readers for this week past nave been asking will be answered to them while my taray despatch is on the road.

M. A MORE CHERRFUL FEBLING characterized the various markets here to-day, and Was felt throughout the diferent business circles ‘This was not the result, however, of any special a= tivity in aay particalar direction, te dealings, sev- erally, in gold, governments and stocks being not ‘above the usual average, The return to AN EASY MONEY MARKET after the late abnormal disturbance, with the pros- pect ofacontipuance of the same, has operated to give a better tone to transactions and create @ more buoyant feeling among dealers. ‘the rate on call loans to-day was six per cent on railway and inis- cellaneous collaterals, with a fair line of exceptions at five on the better class of these, five being likewise the usual figure on governments. Tne sup ply of funds seeking employment seems to be again in excess of the demand, and the banks here are re- ported to be gainers in the present movement of curreucy. Discounts were duil and the best names cashed at seven to eight per cent; but not much commercial paper 1s offering, the banks in the present limited inquiry from the Stock Exchange readily absorbing ail that is presented—a most favor- able conditiun of the market for legitimate trade. An INCREASED FIRMNESS IN (OLD ‘Was the principal and most distinctive feature de- veloped here to-day. The first sales in the room were made at 112%, after which the price advanced to 112%, continuing all the after- noon to vibrate between 112% to 112%, and closing at 112%{ @ 112%. This steadiness of the gold premiam, and the remarkable absence of speculative movement which it exhibits, 1s one of the most healthful signs of the general financial situation, indicating a perfect recovery from the disturbed monetary condition which was one of the Worst effects of the late war. Tne appretiensiops felt im many quarters a short time since of a rapid decline of the premium to par would seem no longer to have any cause for existence, as thelr expectation 18 not shared by any of those most quick to appreci- ate all the chances for speculation in the future pros- pects of the market, the indigsposition to sell short being. most manifest and decided. On the other hand the entire absence of fresh elements ofa narmful character in the general business of the country, or of distrustin the government, are shown in the extreme rettcence of the large class of ehronic butls who are always on the lookout for the slightest opportunity to start an upward turn in gold, but whose occupation, of late, has been almost entirely gone. Nor is there anything in the near future to be feared as Hkely to disturb tne present calm. The political sky 18 wholly unclouded, and so far as Congressional tmterference with financial matters is concerned, there is little impor- tant likely to resuit from the present session. TUB PUNDING BILL, the bele noir of the street, is likely, from all ac- counts, to go over, Late despatches from Washing- ton this afternoon state authoritatively that it will not pass withont important amendments, striking out the clause affecting the national banks and pro- viding for contraction, As this would necessitate lis return to the Senate, and, most likely, @ committee of conference—ana there are very many other onjections to it—the chances of its passage are very slight, its defeat peing already to some extent discounted, this event would not be attended with any considerabvie influence upon the market, The Gold Board adjourned to-day at two o'clock, out of respect to the memory of General Thomas. Gold loans to-day were made at 3, 4, 4's, 5 and 53; per cent for carrying. The advance in the premium is attributed to the decline of bonds in London % per cent, as a consequence of the Cabinet crisis in Paris and the STIFFENING OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE resulting from the small supply of commercial bills offering. The leading bankers to-day advanced their rates for sixty days’ sterling to 109, We quote:— Sterling, sixty days, commercial, 10614 a 108%; good to prime bankers’, 108% a 109; short sight, 10014 a 10034; Paris, sixty days, 5.22%¢ a 5.18%; short sight, 5.1734¢ @ 5.16%; Antwerp, 5.23% a 5.1834; Switzer- land, 5.23% a 5.18%; Hamburg, 3534 a 35%; Amster- 405¢; Frankfort, 403; a 405; ; Bremen, 775¢ 8 7834; Prussian thalers, 701 a 71, GOVERNMENTS STRONG AND HIGHER, The government market was active and buoyant to-day, in sympathy with the higher gold premium and upon an increased investment demand from savings banks and others anxious to employ their surplos capital, resulting from the return to mone- tary ease, and the growing conviction that the usual spring activity will be remitted this year. The addea signs of the postponement of important financial legislation on the part of Congress this session have hkewlse stimulatea tms demand, Prices to-day advanced 3, to 34 per cent, excepting the currency sixes, which are ‘¢ per cent lower, and closed at the following figures:—United States cur- rency alxes, 111 a 111'<; do., 1881, registered, 11374 @ 114; do. do., coupon, 114% @ 11434; do, five- twenties, registered, May and November, 106\4 a 106%; do. 1862, coupon, do., 111 a 111%; do. do., 1864, do. do., 110 & 11045; do. do., 1865, do. do., 110% 11034; do. do., coupon, do., 108% a 103%; do. do., 1867, do. do., 10934 & 10914; do, do, 1868, do. «o., 10945 a 109%; do. do. ten-forties, registered, 105% a 106; do. uo, coupon, 106), a 106%.

The depression is said to be due to the consid- eration of the question, at the meeting of the dbrectors- in this city yesterday, of consoliaating with the Western Union Rail- road, and aiso the purchase of the Hastings and Dacota road, Lake Shore was heavy upon reports which seem to indicate some lively aevelopmeats in tue way of RAILROAD LITIGATION out West. According to an evening paper Despatenes have been received which state that a bill has passed the Pennsylvania Legistature insiruct- ing the Attorney General of that Stace to institure sult agaist the Lake Saore Railroad Company, and to seize that portion of the Buffalo and Erie section (over thirty miles) running through the State of Penusylvania, on account of alleged Violation of charter in the Jate consolidation of the Lake Shore Company. The proceedings are evidently taken m the interest of the Pennsylvania Katlroaa Company, a rival road to the Lake Shore, and may cause an in- terruption to business on the latter road unul the Matier can be taken into the United States Court. It ig deemed a very cowardly expression of mortifi- cation felt by the Pennsylvania Central at seeing tramtic diverted from ita rort Wayne read to the Lake Shore hie. In thts connection the Evening Telegram of Thurs- day contained the following:— 1¢ 18 asserted there 1s a movement on foot to break the lease of the Fort Wayne road and the Pennsy!- vania Central.

This is sustained by the assump- tion that raiiroad tranchises are part of the sove- reignty of a State in ite mght of eminent domain; hence that grants of them have no effect outside the limits of the State Eraniing them, The Pittabui Fort Wayne and Chicago Company being oniy Pennsylvania corporation, is thus without legal stavas 19 Olio, It is said the committee of the House upon tis opinion bave agreed to report the Jease of the road ty the Pennsylvaata Central to be void and its increase of capital stock without authority: also to recommend proceedings by te Attorney General, in the nature of guo warranto, to determine these questions ai law.
