      FRANCE . The Paris papers of Saturday , which should hare reached us on Sunday night , were detained at Calais by the state of the weather , and arrived only . last night . They are silent respecting the ' conspiracy of which so much was said early in the week , but the s&irwu EtUl occupying the Government and the Jaw- dfibeis of the Crown . An impression was becoming general that the alleged union of the three discontented and disaffected parties , the Imperialists Bepnblicans , and Legitimatists , was little more titan a dream , or a scheme of the two wincioal indi-^ , . ___ __ ^ ZTZZT ^^ VRAVT .

After the body had been suspended the usual period , it was cut down , and conveyed into the prison for the purpose of being buried within tbe precincts of it .

U appeared that the deceased person was hauled ashore about mid-day , on Saturday , by a waterman , named Jones , at Wapping Bock-stairs . The body was very much decomposed , and appeared to have been in the water for several days ; and there were soviral marks about it indicating that violence had been used before death . The deceased was dressed -in

      striped trousers , fustian waistcoat , corduroy jacket , without stockings or hat , and had only one shoe on . No papers or money were found upon the deceased ; three keys , were only , found in his pockets . A juryman observed that there were circumstances of strong suspicion attached to the case ; the face of the deceased was battered about and dreadfully discoloured , and his impression . was that foul play had been practised towards the unfortunate young man . After some further conversation , the jury said , in the absence of any direct cvidctcfto provo that the deceased , came . by Ma death unfairly , they must rettira a ^ if dicf ' of " Pound drowted ; " and a verdict to that effect was " then recorded .

      MR , O'CONNOR'S ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF LEEDS . ' On Monday evening last , pursuant to announcement in last week ' s Star , Mr . O'Connor addressed "the Badical 3 of Leeds in tbe Mu&ic Saloon , the latgestbuildiag in the town that could be procured "for the occasion . Long before " the appointed time , tie building was crammed to suffocation , most ef the seats having been removed in order to make as much room asposcible . Mr . O'Conuor ^ entered the room a few minuks after cieht , and his appearance was hailed with that g € ? r . iine outburst of enthusiasm which greets him throagh-ut the country , anU which has actually just beea made a sur-ject of accusation against him , by those who have deserted th « people ' s cause .

      Mr . Datid Black having been called bo the chair , said it would be qaite unnecessary to occupy them with any remarks of his . He trusted they would pay the utmost attention to what might ( all from the Iip 3 of the different speakers . As Mr . O'Connor had just arrived ia Leeds , aiid requirod a little rest , he Would first call on Mr . George White to address them . - ¦ ' : , V air . Geobqs White commenced iis address by allndin x to tbe distress : bow prevalent in Leeds . The unemployed operatives had that day heid a meeting on Hunrict Moor , to endeayoer to induce the wealthier classes to exercise charity towards their suffering fellow creatures . And why were they thus depeud&ut tm charitv t It was because the Radicals

      had no power in the House of C « mmoBa , and therefore they w « re in poverty . AU tba * a » wer was ia the hands « f the rich , and thtfimaFwe « f their vot » s to k « f their own property , and to hinder Ak poor from having any . -When the poor soa&l be r * pre ^ eeted , the rich j « i 4 < iiey wanted ta « fe them ; but it Was theriebwlrtiTwbbed the poor , wd noi the p ^ r who sought to * trf > tbe rich .

Both factioms would taka = ^ dyaat& * o dibburang their charity daring the present distress , to poison the minds of the people . ' The Turies , in doling out their sixpences end shillings , would ley all " the bisrne ef the present distress upon the ' Whig Goverijmeiit . Then » ouW come the Whigs , with their skufiih-g , hypocritical , faces—( laughter)— and offer relief with a view of obtaining support in future . Both factions alike robbed the working man of ilyfi , and then charitatolv gave him half-a-crown to alleriate his distress . •( Cheers . ) - The Radicals alone were the men for tl > c operatives ; and tbsy only wanted that , by tne exercise of his own abilities-

      every cian should be enaeied to earn enough for hL = wife ami family , without begging of any body . And what was tlie remedy ibr this begging . system 2 Universal Sulu-atre . ( Cheers . ) Although their distress might compel them to liold their political princifik-s in abeyance fj a time , he hoped they would not lose sight of Universal Suffrage , or be contented with anything Ics 3 . Let tbo iicdicaJs remember the treatment of tbeir friends , wJjo were now confined in dungeons iy the Whigs ; but -never , on that account , forget the conduce of the -bloodtliiratyanc vilianous Toric-3 , boih now aud when they w « rein power . The people should kee p clear

      of br-ih factions . The Whigs were now at their wits' end , and were 6 eeking the .-upport of the people by rai / iug a c y for a , Kc-peal of tbe Cvru Laws . Mr . Wir . te then crposed the inefficiency . of repeal to better the . conditiyn of the workiuj ; meucautioiied his hearer . -: against being led away by the logic of Mr . Grei £ , who was well paid fur adveca . tiiig tbe repeal , a ^ d wlio , to * e-ve his own end * ., had lately £ rofes . ~ ed hinisoif a iiadical , and a p * iitical pupil of Feargus U'Com : ce—a ; id , after alimiing tu the prosecuiioa that was hanging over him , and proU-st > a > j liiai come of it what might , be woii-d never ba « - down t <> il ; s aouurscd Wiii ^ s , sat down amid general cheering .

      ?> ir . O'Coyxoa now presented himself , and , when the reue * ved cheering wculd nllow him to lxheard , a / idressed those prtss-jiit a 3 " geutL-inei : '' of Leeds . lie said be bad gc ^ jrally addressed t 5 i « n as " working meu" of Lccdi-. The o . ly distinction hi liiis respect was that ihose K-ho vrerc idle were g-enelally caiied gentlemen . He understood that the majority m" the male population of Leeds were idle because tbey could nut obtain work , and consequently they had iwvr become gentiemen . He had * been informed thst between 4 , 000 and 5 , 000 gentlemen of this description had that day set upon Hunslct Moor with a view to obtain reiief ; and it was . somewhat singular thai .. as many pounds as tfiere ' were persons-at tbai aefctiu ^ bad been lately expended mjxtti

      thair church . Jne sum of i' 4 , 100 had been expended to beautify , K-decoriite , aod adorn the House of God , while the Jiock had not oaly been out om of the house , bat alto out of the kitchen . ( Laughter . ) Now , how long would that state of things continue ? Just so long as they would allow them to continne , aud not forone moment longer . ( Cheers ;) Those who lived by their labour had taken a month to think of the present distress ; they would take another moith in promising to relieve it ; and tbey wo : 3 ) d most- lively take a lopg month before they d ; d anyihmg in the matter whatever . ( Cheering and laughter . ) At ail-events they had given nothing , and would most likely give nothiug , because they thought they themselves , and rot the

      worknie ., were the victims , m the present system . Tbey thought themselves victims , because the small wages they paid their workmen hindered them from making cent , per cent , of their money . ( Shame , shame . ) So long as tho working mans labour "was not represented , so long would it be at the mercy of capital ; a-d he would argue the question of the representation of the people with the capitalists upon their own crotchets , namely , knowledge and wealth . If knowledge entitled people to the snffrage , the working mcii had more knowledge than their oppressors , for tney created wealth for Jellows who had not two ideas in the world ; and till itcould be shewn that the rich could swallow churches , banks , &c , the working-men a so possessed wealth in their labour . ( Cheers . ) And how was it then

      that the people were deprived of their liberties Because they were content with their situation so IoDg as they could keep body and soul together . If to-mosrow th < 5 -got 25 s . or 30 s . a-week per man , they would say that nothing was to be gained by agitation . If they suffered the present propitious moment to pass over , lirey would never get it a ^ aiii . Was ii to be supposed that while tin * science of legislation was said lo bo so perfect , that the working men alone should be badly olfl How did it happen that m England—merry England—groat , free , and enlightened .

( True ; true !) First one crotchet and then another was brought forward to deceive the people . Bit-by 4 ) it Reform was one , Socialsm was another ^ and defeat- ; bf . the Corn Laws was a third ; but neither of them could lead the people one step on the road to liberty—Vhe road to that which had made their enemies rich and

      themselves poor—Universal Suffrage . ( Cheers . ) The present was the time to try men sspuls .: They were going to be saddled with a King consort and , a royal wedding . There was likewise a prospect of an early dissolution of 'Parliament ; and when the election came on , they must stand between the two parties , but not , ashitbirto , to "" . receive ' tho blows . At the elections tbe -value of their principles and those of their enemies would ba tested ; and he trustod he should himself have the pleasure of s'a ' ding between Sir William Mofeewrovth aud Mr . Barnes—( tremendous cheering)—and then ; as fast as ; steam and four horses could carry him , proceed to other largo towns and offer himself to the elecvors , in order to prove that the . Radicals puiy ]

      wanted an opportunity to ' _ show : their unshaken adherence to the great : aud glorious principle of Unir versal Suffrage . ( Great cheering . ) He trusted they would show'themselves - at the election .

( Groat cheering . ) Not that the Tories were , any better ; for be again told them , as he had done before , that if the Whigs were devils , the Tories Were devils in heU ^ But the time was coming when they must back the Tories against the Whigs , and tho Whigs against thei Tories . He would explain how they stood with respect to this . If there was a strong GoverHment , whether Whi £ or Tory , with a majority of 100 , they would defy opjMjsition . but when they were nicely balaricod they could be played off one against the other . ( Hear , hear . ) He had now come to the most

      important part of lus subject . Tho Whig Cabinet were divided in their opinions concerning Frost . Lord Mclbouma /« as for a ooiiviction , and Lordts Normauby and Russell against it . The Woody Times and the Tories wore raging for the blood of Frost , because they knew that , if . they could goad the Whigs to execute him , the Ministrjfc vwould bo so unpopular that they would be driven from office , and they ( the Tories ) would step in . Mr . O'Connor then went oil to notico the conduct of the presiding jud ^ e at the .
