      CONTINENTAL JOTES . FRANCE . The trial pf Carpentier and the other railway culprits haa continued before the Court of Assizes . At the sitting of the Court on Friday week , the public prosecutor addressed the jury in support of the iadicttnent . M . Lachaud afterwards pleaded for Carpentier , representing him as a victim of the passion for gold and for Stock Exchange gambling which characterizes the epoch . He deplored that at the early age of twenty-five , the ' fearful responsibility' of the post of cashier of a great enterprise like the Northern Railway had been imposed on him . He had at first only taken shares in the belief that by the use of them he might realize a large fortune , and his firm intention had been to restore them . In the course of his speech , the learned gentleman made some sharp observations on the manner in which the advocates employed by Carpentier in the United States had acted , and said that their ' wretched suhtlfities * and mode of

      advocacy had so disgusted the prisoner that he had re * solved to give himself up to the justice of his country . During all the time the counsel was speaking , Carpentier wept bitterly , M . Desmarets pleaded for Grellet , and dwelt particularly on the fact , us an extenuating circumstance in his favour , that he had made the fullest disclosures . M . Dufaure then proceeded to address tho jury for Parod , who was acquitted on the criminal charge , and at once walked out of the court . Extenuating circumstances were admitted in the cases of Garpentier and GueYin , probably on account of their having surrendered themselves to tho French police officers in America ; but they were found guilty of thei ' t and embezzlement , and so also was Grellet . A few moments after the delivery of this verdict , the solicitor of the railway company demanded that Parocl , as well

      as the others , should be decreed to pay the company tho value of the shares stolen . Hereupon , the Judge ordered that Parod should be again placed in the dock , and , as ho was still lingering about the precincts of the court , this was done . His counsel , however , objected that ho was not legally in custody , and said that the company could have a civil action against him . The public prosecutor agreed with this ; but the court adjudged Parod to bo liable with the other prisoners to restore tho value of the shares , or to be imprisoned for five years . Irrespective of this term of incarceration , Grellet is to bo imprisoned for eight years , and Carpentier and Gue ' riu for five years . Had Parod gone beyond the precincts of the court , it appears that he could not havo bcen again arrested . It is generally agreed at tho Palais do Justice that the sentence on the three

      convicted prisoners would have been moio severo had it not bcen tho opinion of tho court that the Northern Railway Company had takon too little care of their proporty . The following paragraph has been prominently insorted in tho Moniteur : — " The Government of the Emperor has felt it to be its duty to postpone to the 30 th of September , 1858 , the measures relating to alimentary commodities . Those measures are of n twofold nature ; tliey facilitate tho importation of bread-stuffd and suspend their exportation . The facilities given to

      importation have not been adopted as a precaution against any clearness in tho price of food , of which the great abundance of our harvest relieves us of fear , but to ensure tho complete liquidation of enterprises entered into in tho way of trado under the present regulations — ontcrprisos , however , that will tend to re-croato those reserves that woro ' exhauHted by tho scarcity of the last three years . In'fixing a term for the fltiopenHion of exportation by those orders , tho Government does not involvo itself in an engagement , as is the case with respect to importation . Circumstances and tho prices in tho market will determine their retention or suppression . "

      The vintage has now begun almost everywhere In France , and in someplaces it is already over . The accounts are highly favourable . . ¦¦ , The Requin state steamer , after having been handsomely fitted up , has proceeded from Toulon to Marseilles , to be placed at the orders of Prince Napoleon , who is about to make an excursion to the East , and particularly to the holy places at Jerusalem . Folly is so inseparable from Emperors and Kings , that it dogs them like their shadow ; and the parvenu Empire of France is not free from this ancient prorogate ve of the anointed of ' the Church . ' The Paris correspondent of the Times shall bear witness . He writes : —" The Empress has arrived in Paris from Biarritz . The report here to-day is that she will go to the camp at Chalons , and present the Prince Imperial to his comrades of the Guard . You are aware that he is borne on the

      musterbook of the Grenadiers , draws pay , and that his name u called at muster , when answer is made for him , ' On leave with hisfpmil y . ' " Why need satirists trouble themselves to turn such things into ridicule ? The work is superfluous . They are their own burlesque . It is reported that the He de la Reunion , formerly lie Bourbon , is to resume the name of lie Bonaparte , which it bore under the first Empire .

      "WTJKTEMBEBG . The long-talked-of meeting of the Emperors ha& taken place at Stuttgard . Alexander reached that city on Thursday week ; Hapoleon on the following day . A few minutes after the arrival of the latter at the King " s palace , he received the visit of the Russian Czar . There was a family dinner-party at the palace , and the visitors passed the' evening at the villa of the Prince Royal The castle , the gardens , and the roads leading to them , were illuminated . On the following morning , the Emperor Napoleon returned the Emperor Alexander ' s visit , and called on the Prince and Princess Royal . The Prince of Prussia came to Baden to meet , the Emperor Napoleon The Empress of Russia and the Queen of Greece arrived at Stuttgard last Saturday night .

      The King- of Wurtemberg , on Monday morning , took the two Emperors , the Empress of Russia , the Queens of Wurtemberg , of Holland , and of Greece , and the Princes and Princesses , to Cannstadt , to witness the popular festival , a great agricultural fete , which takes place annually under the presidency of the King . The Emperor of Russia , the Emperor of the French , the King , and the Princes went on horseback . At noon , the Emperor of Russia and the Jiknperor of the French went to a dejeuner at the villa of the Prince Royal . The Minister of Foreign Affairs and an aide-de-camp of their Majesties were present at this meeting . At three o ' clock , the Emperor Napoleon returned to the Palace at Stuttgard , and at four he took leave of the Emperor and Empress of Russia , who then left .

      Louis Napoleon left Stuttgard on Tuesday morning at half-past eight o ' clock . The Prince Royal , the Princes of the Royal family , and the Ministers and officers of the Court were at the station . The Emperor arrived at Mannheim at eleven o'clock . He was received there by General Roberk , first aide-de-camp of the Grand Duke of Baden , who had aent Court carriages to convey the Emperor and his suite to Ludwigshafen , where the French monarch was xeceived by Prince Luitpold , brother of the King of Bavaria . At Sarrebruck , the Einperor found the Prince of Prussia . Louis Napoleon entered the town of Metz at seven o ' clock , and found Prince Henry of the Netherlands waiting to compliment him . He attended the theatre in the evening .

      1 he intercourse between the two Emperors is said to have been somewhat cold . Tho unexpected arrival of the Russian Empress at Suttgard seems to have greatly fluttered the hereditary sovereigns ; and the approximation of Franco and Russia doea not appear to have bcen much advanced by the meeting of the two military chiefs .

      . Admiral Lyons's squadron left Mahon for ata on - the 12 th ult . The Pxinco of Orange embarked at Va lencia for Holland on the 21 st . The Queen has pardoned a soldier who was condemned to be shot for attempting to kill a sergeant who had struck him . This was done at the intercession of Madame Ristori , who was playing Medea on the night previous to the intended execution . Tho Queen was in the house ; and , after tho first act , the great Italian actress wont into hor box , throw herself at her Majesty's feet , and finally obtained the pardon .

The King of Saxony , iu superintending somu military manoeuvres near Dresden on the 22 nd , - hail tho muscles of his left leg utrained by a sudden movement of his horse . He suffered ho much that ho was removed from the animal ' a back , and conveyed to the chateau of Pillnitz . Tho day after , lio was able to leave his bed ; but the phyaiciuna have prescribed a few days' repose .
