It appesra that the excise in France on sugar, whether of colonial or home production, amounts to forty-nine francs and a half on tbe bandied kilogrammes, that is to a a fraction less than five cents a pound. Tbe effect of this miserable legislation ta, that few can afford to buy sugar, the demand is limited, and the production languishes. The price of the com monest sugar in France is about seventeen cents pound! M. Psyen. the celebrated self-made chemist, has just published a work on sugar, in which be given tables ct the comparative consumption of sugar in different countries of Ea rope.

Less is consumed in France, in proportion to the population, than ia any of the rest. The average annual consumption nf individuals in France is six pounds: in Belginra eighteen ffemntls; ia England, twenty: at Livrona and lorrnce, in Italy, twenty-tour; and in the rest of Italy, tweary-two.

France, come forth and defend yourself. Say ty what helliah instrumentality have your myrmidons gone forth to battle swains principles yoa fcrd inculcated, against men whom you enticed by your example. Declare, perfideoue government for surely no true hearted son of your toil approves the iniquitous provision by what rule yon have been governed, what lust of conquest impelled, what national purpose beyond the conciliation of the tjiademmej miscreants of Europe, will justify before Heaven and the human family, your base, bloody end cost treasonable subjugation of a people, struggling and worthy to be free? Is your motive intelligible in the recognition of your Republic by the oppressor af tbe tjn-eooq flerible Circassians, or the cordial assurances of Palmeretoa The denunciations of the right of self-government by uizor, or the derision of the freedom of opinion by Metternichf Yoa hare embraced the conspiracy of kings, and you make as your offering at the sacrifice of freedom, the destruction of Rome.

The propitiatory offering was worthy of you, chivalrous France will it not add to the glory of Gaul Go henceforth consort with the Singly stranc-lers of Liberty; you know not bow to be free, writ you deny it to others. Since man first drew the sword, to vindicate his claims to justice, ao more righteous quarrel ever enlisted the support of good mea, than that which the eilixens of the Pontifical States embarked to free themselves from an intolerable tyranny. Governed by mea taken from the cloister, or born to ruin, the Roman eitixea was the most dc-i graded slave in Christendom. is property, his honor, hit life, were at the disposal of men unre strained by ether check than the caprice of their humor, or the whim of the moment. Deprived of the accumulations af his industry, by invasions ol powers unsanctioned by law, thrown into prison fi the resentment of wrongs, by act or word, whic'i it were ineffable degradation to endure, and to which at were base cowardice to Bulimic, the Roman, for the first tiam in centu ries, hailed, with an enthusiasm akin to insanity, the election of a Pontiff disposed to be just, known to be pious, and believed to ha-e a heart made to sympathise with the sorrows and ruffer-ings of his heart-brokea children.

This expectation was in some measure fulfilled, for many un happy wretches, who had been incarcerated in vile dungeons until the rust of their manacles bad eatea the flesh from their bones, for the first time in many years were permitted to look upon the sun of heaven, although flung abroad homeless, houseless, and childless. Truly might thev land that aace knew as shall now us no more forever." The expulsion from France of the intrusive Philippe the last of the besotted Bourbons, it is to be will rule in Franca, however unuorthy she has shown herself to be in tbe hour of rial was the signal to the people cif Italy to assert their claims to be considered worthy of a place among the nations of the earth. The flame spread to tbe Pontifical Slates; the people attached to Pius the Sib. and the Catholic Faith ram trktck they karr mt time a ei red demanded a separation of the civil from the ecclesiastical rule, tcithout an nay anirnncr seeking Is impinge las Utter, to curtail the just spiritual mare wary of Heir revered Pontiff.

Per curiam: Detendant was prose cuted, under the 10th section of the act of ISOj, (B. ii p. 213.) for the larceny of several bsnk notes and other effects, alleged to belong to 1. B. Kirkland.

He was convicted and sentenced, and has appealed. It is urged the information was defective, for the following reasons 1. Because the name of theparty aggrieved is not suf ficiently averred, ii. I he value of each of the articles charged to have been stolen is not alleged. .3.

The description of the property stolen is d-fee tire. 4. The notes stolen are alleged to be the goods and chattels" of I. B. Kirkland, whereas, as is contended, they ahonld have been averred to be tlie "property" of the person injured.

These objections to the ioformation are, as was correctly said in argument, purely technical, ami depend entirely upon authority. 1. As regards the first ground: The name of the injured party is averred in the information to be 1. 11. kirkland.

pon the trial, Kirkland appeared as a witness, and testified that his name was Isaac B. Kirkland whereupon the counsel for the accused asked the Judge to instruct the jury that the prisoner was entitled to his discharge, nhioh charge the Judge refused to give. As regards the description to be given in the indictment of other persons than rhe defendant, the court quoted Hawkins, Pleas of the Crown, hook 2. 2a- see. 73; the King-vs.

Sulla, 2 I-each C. L. p. 1006 2 East P. C.

9jQ 2 Haw- kins P. C. ch. 25, sec. 71.

1 a each of these eases the party injured appears to bave been known to the jurors, and in each the name is incorrectly stated. In the two first, the error consisted in omitting the Christian names, and in the third, in omitting the surname. In the present instance, it appears that Kirkland was a merchant, residing in Memphis, Tennessee that the package containing thj notes alleged to have been stolen, was taken while being trnasmitted to his correspondents in thin city, and that it was marked I. B. Kirklsml.

It was shown on the trial, that Isaac B. Kirkland waa the owner of the notes and other effects contained in the package, and described in the indictment, as being the property of I. B. Kirkland. It is not proved that I.

B. Kirkland and Isaac B. Kirkland are not one and the same person, snd the owner of the effects stolen. That Kirkland was known by the name of I. B.

Kirkland, is evident from the fact that he is so described in the information. But it ia not shown that he was known to the Attosney-Oeneral, ov in thm eiry, by any other aMusts titan that of I. B. Kirkland, and being the resident of another State, we cannot, presume that the Attorney-General knew him by any other name than that averred in the in formation. It is only when the party injured cannot be described by name that it becomes necessary to state that he is a person unknown.

But with the evidence before him, that the aggrieved party was known by the name of I. B. Kirkland, the AttoTney-General eould not, with propriety or truth, have averred the property in the notes to lo be In a person unknown on the contrary, the rules of criminal pleading absolutely required that he should have averred it to be in a person whom the evidence in his possession described as I. B. We think that the circumstances of thia case, tested by the strictest rules of criminal plesding, bring it within the exceptions to the general rule which require the name of the injured party to be accurately set forth, and authorise tlie averment as made in the information.

1 Ctulty C. p. 212, et seq. 2. The information alleges that several differ, ent notes were stolen, but state the value of but two of them.

The only authority to which we have been referred in support of the proposition that sentencs could not be passed on a general verdict upon an indictment of this kind, establishes, as we think, the reverse of the proposition. 1 Mass. Rep. 215. If there had been several counts, instead of one, seme of a hich averred a value to the article stolen, snd others which did not, it seems to be settled that after a general verdict, judgment could have been given upon the good counts.

When there is but one count, those parts of it which are defective by reason of the failure to aver the value, may be rejected as. surplusage, without affecting the validity of the instrument, aad the conviction as to the remainder will be pond. 3. The next objection is that the description of the property stolen is detective. It is eontennea that the aotes should bave been described in the precise terras of the statute.

The words of the act are the robliery or larceny ef bank note snd obligations, 6V-C, shall De punisnea, The averments in the information sre "one note of the Bank of Mobile," one note of tke Bank of Alabama? "of the goods and chattels," etc. Althonrh. in general, it ia necessary to use the precise technical expressions of rhestatute in describing the offence, a variance which does not alter the sense of a material part of the statute, will not vitiate the imlictmenu The terms "bank notes" snd notes of a bank," are, Ik ordinary parlance, svnonvsnoua. Both are understood to mean the notes emitted as the circulation of the bank. In the case of the Commonwealth rt.

Ricrsnrrfs, it was held that a deviation from the terms of the statute, similar to that which occurs in the information under consideration, did not vitiate the indictment. I Mass. Rep. 333. We think that ease conclusive of the point presented.

4. Tbe last objection urged we also think untenable. Ia the ease of "the" people e. Holbrook," 13 Johnson's Rep. 93, aa averment of tha property ia the terms used in the present information was held good.

The Court said It sufficient to lay in an indictment that the notes or instruments mentioned in tha statute are the roods and chattel of any person who is entitled to them; and that the word chattel deaotes and aignifiea, when applied aa in this case, property and ownership. The judgment of tbe District Court is therefore affirmed with costs.

West has no claim to any portion of the fund in hand. In the appeals taken from tbe judgments rendered on tlie oppositions to the second tableau of distribution filed by the syndic, we held thst a creditor who bad proved a claim at the time of tbe first distribution, and received a dividend ont of the fund then in tbe hands of the syndic, was not debarred thereby from the right of proving, in a as be in aa of at Marseilles at the age ol twenty -five he ems-grated to Louisiana, and never returned to his native country. Old Mr. Plattche, after his arrival this country, established his residence in the city of IS'rw Orleans. His character wis that of honest, industrious man he was liberal, free and open-hearted.

He died at the advanced age 82, esteemed and beloved bv bis numerous acquaintances. The mother of Gen. Plauche was born in new Urleans; she waa educated the L'rsuline Convent; the was sn accomplished lady, and no doubt many of those fine and gentlemanly traits of character that so characterize the General, were the effects of herearly training. General Plauche was abont thirty years of age the time of the siege of New Orleans, in 1814 snd 15, (he had a wife and two children.) At the time of the invasion. Major Plauche, (for that waa his grade,) commanded the Orleana Battalion of Volunteers, which was composed of five uniformed compsnies.

He was the originator of that corps, assisted by Edwsrd Livingston, who then held a seat in the Legislature. During tha memorable siege Major Plunche and the gallant officers and soldiers under his command, so distinguished themselves as to receive tha particular notice of the Commander-in-chief, General Jackson, a man who never could permit merit to pass unnoticed; before he left Mew Orleans and bade adieu to tbe theatre of his great exploits he ad- dressed to Major Plauche. the following letter: New Orleans.
