The companies then formed into three sides of a square, the parties present forming the fourth, when Lieut.-Col. Bousfield addressed the different companies and expressed . his admiration of thegeneral , appearance which had been made. He especially made reference to the 69th, and said that from the manner in which the men acquitted themselves, - he had - no doubt they would be able to serve their country in the hour of need. ,, Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and a vociferous cheer for.

THE BOROUGH SESSIONS. THE ROBBERY OF THE £11,P00.---TRIAL OF THE PRISONERS, YESTERDAY. At•the Borough Sessions, yesterday, James Joy and Thomas Lee were charged with stealing, on the 12th of May, five bills of exchange for the'sum of £11,264 8s 10d. Mi. Deighton conducted the proseeution, and the prisoner Joy was defended by Mr. Pearce and Mr. Russell ; Lee was undefended by counsel. Mr. Deighton, in opening the case, said that though the amount stolen was ranch larger that was usual in the generality of the cases which came before that court, there was nothing beyond that • fact to 'distinguish it from an ordinary case of larceny. It appeared that Mr. Reginald Haigh, who is a broker in this town, received on the 12th of May, at the bank of Messrs: Heywood, five bills of exchange, which for safety he placed in his hinder pocket, covering them with one hand, whilst with the other be held the umbrella. From Messrs. Heywood's Bank he walked towards the Exchange. When at the, Exchange he.went under the piazzas, and ,removed his hand from his pocket for the purpose , of, shifting his umbrella. • On returning his hand to his pocket he found that the notes had been removed. As soon as he missed the property he looked about, but there appeared to be no one in the neighbourhood, and he saw no more 'of the notes until a future occasion. This took 'Race at 'about a quarter to one o'clock. At half-past three the same afternoon, the prisoners were seen in the neighbourhood of the Post-office. Joy seemed to be coming from' the office in which letters are registered, and he had in his. hand a piece of paper which was seen by a person who would be brought forward. This person would also tell the jury the position in which Joy stood at the time, and that the piece of paper which he held in his hand resembled a receipt for a registered letter. The clerk who registers letters would likewise be called, and he would say that a person similar in appearance to the prisoner Joy registered a letter in the register °CT, and received the usual receipt. The prisoners were watched by the persons to whom he alluded (Detective -officers Scott and Spittle). After some conversation they separated and subsequently ran away. They were followed by the de tectives and taken into custody. The address of the letter w as taken by Spittle, who immediately went to London, to the house to which the letter was' addressed. He was in the house when the letter was brought by the postman ; it was received by a female who was after wards taken into custody and discharged. The officer took possession of the letter as soon as it came, and,-the outer envelope was found to contain a letter and part of the: property ;which had been stolen from Mr. Haigh! The direction on the , envelope, and the seal, would be proved to be those of the prisoner Lee. The impreision on the envelope corresponded with a seal which was found in the possession of Joy. Reginald Haigh was the first witness called. He 'said that on the 12th of May last he wept to HeYwi)od'S Bank and left it at about a quarter to one o'clock with the bills.mentioned in the indictment —the value of which was upwards of £ll,OOO. On leaving the bank 'he put the bills' into his coat tail pocket and kept his hand on them until he got to the Exchange where he removed his hand for three or four seconds to - shift his umbrella. On putting his hand into his pocket again he found the bills were gone. He immediately gave information at the different banks and at the police station. Cross-examined by Mr. Pearce—Witness went to the police station, and under the advice of the officer there drew up a placard offering £2O reward. The placard was headed " Lost or Stolen." Witness had no doubt when he wrote that that the bills had been stolen ; but they put " lost" as the thief might be more likely to come forward and give up the bills for the reward on finding that it was supposed that they were lost. Mr. Spittle, a London detective, was then called. lie knew both the prisoners. On the 12th May be saw Joy coming from the direction of the register office of the Post-office. The, prisoner had a piece of paper in his hand; this was at about half-past three. Lee and Joy were walking together towards Customhouse-lane. The Liverpool 'detective (Scott) was with witness at the time. Before the prisoners were taken into custody they walked away very fast. Witness .walked After them, and Scott took , them into custody, and searched them. 'BOrne papers and a' pocket-book, and a gold watch and chain, were all that were found. Witness afterwards -went to > No. 7, Friendly-place, Mile-end road, London. He was there on Monday, the 14th of May, when the postman brought a letter from Liver pool. It was taken in by a female,' who told witness she was Lee's wife. In the ,envelope there was a parcel and...a letter, and while the woman was reading the letter witness took the parcel, and found that it contained, a bill' of exchange. On -the back of the inner , envelope was written, " Keep this secreted until I return home. T. W." Witness did not know whose was the hand writing on the letters. He found a photograph of Lee John Middleton, a clerk in the Register Letter-office of the Post-office, was also called. He had no distinct recollection of the letter now produced being registered; but from the marks on the envelope he could tell that it had been registered on the .12th May. A receipt for a registered letter was a small piece of pater torn from their book. [The witness here produced' the book in Which the counter-receipts are kept, and which are marked with a red pencil]. Detective-officer' Scott, who was next called, corrobo rated Spittle's statement, The witness was nearer the prisoners than Spittle, and saw one of them reading a small piece of paper, which was marked with red pencil. When he took the prisoners into custody he searched them, and found on Joy one £lO note and six sovereigns, a gold watch and guard, and some other small articles ; also a seal 'which corresponded with the impression on the envelope. received in London. Mr. Middleton was here recalled by Mr. Pearce, and said that although the counter. receipts in his book were marked with red pencil, there could have been no red about the receipt these men would have had. Those receipts would have contained nothing but the marks of the stamp and - of a black lead pencil. This being the. case for the prosecution, Mr. Pearce submitted to the Deputy-Recorder (Mr. Temple) that there was nothing affecting his client, the prisoner Joy. In the indictment there was a charge of stealing from the person of Mr. Haigh pieces of paper. The counts undonbtedly varied ; but he submitted that there. was no count for receiving stolen goods, nor any count for simple larceny. He apprehended that, according to the evidence which had been produced that day, the prose cution had been attempting to connect Joy with the rob. bery, by showing that he had in his hand a piece of paper like a receipt for a registered letter. That piece of paper was expressly stated by the witness who was nearest the prisoners to be marked red ; but according to the registering clerk those receipts were never marked with red, but simply with a blacklead pencil. He would, therefore, submit that the piece of paper could not have been a receipt for a registered letter ; and if this were so,,the evidence against Joy fell to the ground. Mr. Temple said there was also the likeness of the seal found on J.oy to the seal of the letter. This he would leave entirely to the jury. The prisoner Lee then made his statement. He said that on the 12th of May last, between the hours of 12 and 1, he was standing between the piazzas of the Ex change. He saw a parcel of papers lying at his feet ; he picked them up and put them into his pocket. On finding what they were he went to one of the luncheon houses in the neighbourhood, and wrote to his wife, enclosing the bills, and asking her to take care of them until he tame to London. He took the letter to the post-office, not exactly for the purpose of registering it, but to'post it. While in the post-office he did register it, and got a receipt. Outside the post-office he met the prisoner Joy, who passed the compliments of the day. He had the receipt for his letter in his hand, and showed it to Joy. Soon after this the officers ,carne Up and apprehended.them., He had no felonious intent in sending these bills to his wife, but he thought they would be advertised, and he should get the reward. It had been his intention to make this statement at the time he was committed, but he received instructions from his solicitor to reserve it until the trial. Mr. Pearce then addressed the jury at some length on behalf of Joy. He commented chiefly on the absence of all evidence against that prisoner, and explained the correspondence of the seals by saying that he had a ring on his finger which would have produced exactly the same impression. Mr. Temple having summed up, the jury found both prisoners guilty. Mr. Pearce applied for a case for appeal, but the application was refused. A previous conviction for felony having been proved against Lee, he was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. • In passing sentence upon Joy, Mr. Temple remarked that there were sufficient • local thieves in Liverpool without foreign ones. He considered it most important that such ,a class of men should be suppressed. They were both well-known thieves ; but, as Joy had not been previously convicted, he should sentence' him to only seven years' penal servitude. THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT MESSRS. ELKINGTON'S, AND THE PAWNBROKERS. Yesterday, Sarah Twist and Sarah Perkins, the two females recently committed on a charge of having stolen a very large quantity of electro-plated articles from the establishment of Messrs. Elkington, where they were employed as polishers were tried. The prisoners were in, the employ of the prosecutors, from whom they pur loined a large quantity of articles, and afterwards pledged them at several pawnshops in the town, but the larger portion was deposited with Mr. Syred, pawnbroker, of Park-lane. Other portions were pledged at , the shops Of Messrs. Littler, Kitson, &c. What rendered this trial of more than usual interest was the fact, that on Saturday last, the grand jury had, in this elite, made the following presentment, which elicited the subjoined remarks :—" The grand jury cannot separate without expressing their reprehension of, and astonish ment at,. the circumstance of a pawnbroker taking in pledge a large quantity of new plate from persons so unlikely to be the owners of it, as was done in the case of Sarah Twist and. Sarah Perkins, against whom a true bill has been, found for stealing plate from Messrs. Elkington, particUlarly when the crest of the Castle Mona Hotel was on a portion of the plate."—The Deputy-Recorder said that the prisoners, in the case referred had not been committed when the Ses sions opened, or he should probably have made to them observations similar to those in the presentment. If the facts came out as stated in' the depositions, the conduct of the pawnbroker seemed most extraordinary. He would take care that the pawnbroker should be pre sent in person at the trial, so that he might offer any explanation in his power ; and if that did not turn out satisfactory, such steps should be taken to call him to account for his Conduct as might hereafter seem desirable. At the trial yesterday, Mr. Syred was present in court. The two prisoners were placed upon their trial, and on the first indictment were found guilty, the evidence being exceedingly conclusive ,as to their guilt. In the second case, Sarah Twist was indicted 4kiparately on a charge of having stolen a large portion of the pro perty. The evidence for the prosecution having been concluded in this case, in the course of which a very large amount of property was produced, as having been pledged by the prisoners at the pawnshop of Mr. Syred, Park-lane ; that gentleman,who was in attendance, stated .that he had never seen the prisoner until just before she was apprehended, and was not at all aware tha his assist ants or manager had taken in such a large amount of property from her. He knew nothing whatever of the transaction until the assistant had told him that she was in Messrs.Elkington's employ; and then he had directed, when she next came to the shop, that he should be informed of it, which was done, and she was given into custody. In answer to the Deputy-Recorder, Mr. Syred said he himself had never received any article in pledge from the prisoner ; and added, that he could not see that any blame was,to be attached to the assistant for taking such a large quantity of such property, being pledged by one person, as the woman had represented that her husband was in the trade, and had brought parcels of the pro perty on the Saturday . night (not an unusual thing in other trades), and had redeemed them, or a portion of them, on the ,Monday. morning. These parcels, which had from time to time been left over, had accumu lated to the quantity then produced. From the extent of the transactions, and the long space of time over which they had extended, it was utterly impossible for the manager to know the quantity of articles that had been leftover. But while he exceedingly regretted the amount of property that had been taken in his establishment, he must exonerate the manager under the circumstances from any blame in the matter. The Deputy-Recorder then summed up the case, and in addressing the jury he exonerated Mr. Syred personally from any blame, as he was unconscious of the amount of property that had been taken in; but there did appear to be some neglect, to say. the-least of it, on the part of the assistants. But when Mr. Syred had been informed of 'the fact he had adopted the most proper steps to put a stop to such practices ; and he would be the greatest sufferer, as he would lose all the money that had been advanced on the property. He had acted very properly. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Ronaldson recommended the prisoner Twist who had been for some time in the prosecutor's employ, and had borne a good character, to the mercy of the court. The other prisoner was also recommended to mercy by her late efnployer, Mr. Quick. The Deputy-Recorder sentenced Twist to twelve and Perkins to eight months' imprisonment. All the property pled ge d w as handed over tb the prosecutors. TfIE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1860. SENTENCES.

ASSAULTS ON WomEN.—During the last five years 1,96 b persons have been sentenced to imprisonment by the metropolitan magistrates (including the city) for aggravated assaults on their wives or other women. The average has been 392 a-year, and it may be assumed from the two returns, in which a distinction is made, that about one-third of these assaults were made upon the wives of the offenders.

It is believed to be a faithful sketch of the plan which the Emperor means to pursue towards Germany. We give it in extenso. On dit that the Emperor had a copy of About's pamphlet sent to the Prince of Prussia, and to the other Sovereigns about to assemble at Baden, several days ago, in order to do away with the awkwardness of breaking ground.'' The pam phlet was sent beforehand to clear the way. " France and the Emperor have no other feelings than those of friendship towards the German nation. After the great wars of the first empire, Europe, as second in a heroic duel, having declared that the honour of the combatants was satisfied, they gave each other the hand without rancour. Although the armies of Germany had covered themselves with glory the flag of France had suffered no humiliation. Jena was not surpassed by Leipsic, anil the battles of 1813, 1814, and 1815 did not efface fromhistory 'our triumphs of 1805. "Alone the progress of enlightenment, our tempered manners, and the work of time, would have sufficed to extinguish ,in all hearts the last spark of national hatred. We must even acknowledge having felt a deeper sympathy for the Germans in proportion as we have better known them. German philosophy reigns in our schools. Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, those great thinkers from beyond the Il hive, have dethroned the great talkers of eclecticism. In literature and poetry we both admire and love Goethe, Schiller, Leasing, Hoffmann, Henri Heine, Hacklaendar, Uhland; and not long since, a work by Gustave Freytag appeared in the Ilionitcur of the French empire. Dr. Straus, trans lated by M. Littre ; Kreutzer, elucidated by N. Guig nant ; have taken their places among French master spirits. Our learned men are honoured in corresponding with Liebeg, Vogt, Graefe, Diffenbach ; our sculptors and painters have rendered full justice to the• talent pf Rauch, of Kaulbach, and of Cornelius ;- whilst Kraus and Winterhalter are our own by adoption. We not only confess to an adoration of Mozart, Beethoven, Gluck, Haydn, and Weber, the masters of German music, but Meyerbeer reigns without a rival in our greatest lyric theatres; and the day in which Richard Wagner, un known and not understood, presented himself to us, the French composers politely withdrew to give place to him. " It is not only to the illustrious names of Germany that France and its Sovereign can render justice. We have all for the mass of the people an affection founded upon esteem. This honest and laborious race, simple in its manners and honest in its relations, would have every claim to our friendship, even did we 'not know that German blood flows in the veins of the French people. " 11. Whether the Germans know it or not, the friend ship of a nation like our own is to-day of a certain value. The time is past in which the majority of Frenchmen, despoiled of their political rights for the benefit of a privileged'few, vainly protested against the ruin of our influence and the oppression of our enemies. It is not by the speeches of an useless opposition in her parliament, not by the cries of children in her streets, that France manifests her good intentions to those she loves ; it is by acts. We , have seen her soldiers penetrate to the remotest parts of, the Black Sea to delay the fall of the Ottoman empire, while her diplo matists claimed from Turkey herself the civil and religious freedom of her Christian populations. The deliverance of the Moldavians and Wallachians, and their union into a nation possessing all political rights, solely by the influence of our friendship and without shedding of blood, has not been forgotten. Italy, our august mother in civilisation and the fine arts, has, under the auspices of France, entered on the path of independence and unity. It is our armies who have opened out the way in which she now marches alone under the guidance of Piedmont. If God allows this great work to be accomplished, and a nation of 26,000,000 of inhabitants is organised at our gates, France will take no offence. Faithful to her generous traditions, she will sacrifice her private suscep tibilities to the general welfare and for a peaceful future, for European order will not be firmly established until the day in which there shall be neither nationalities oppressed nor kings insupportable to their subjects. " 111. "Germany, like Italy, is impelled• forward by a legi. timate aspiration in the path of progress and unity. Ancient feudalism and modern diplomacy, and the sel-, fishness and blindness of a swarm of petty princes,. who buy and sell their subjects as they would their flocks, has divided this great nation into a deplorable multi tude of governments. Its laws, money, weights, and measures, its language even—everything in this nation which should be homogenous, is unlike and dis cordant. The nation suffers from this abnormal state. Its intelligence and its pride suffer with impatience an order of things so little in conformity with the spirit of the times, and more worthy of the thirteenth than the nineteenth century. It is in vain that the German Princes leagued together against the people, have formed a compact for the maintenance of their privileges. The Diet, that permanent conspiracy of feudalism, will nOt'be always stronger than the nation. The German people have learned that it is useless, and almost ridicu lous, to support thirty-seven different governments when one alone would be sufficient. They foresee the enor mous increase of strength and prosperity, of dignity and greatness, that centralisation will one day produce, and they march towards that object with a firm step, and over every obstacle. " Never was this noble nation greater than from 1813 to 1815, for she was never more united. When a Frenchman speaks with admiration of campaigns so terrible to France, his testimony is worthy of credit. The feeling of Germanic honour and independence, revolting at the idea of subjection, effected miracles. Germany had but one passion, but one heart ; she rose as ofie man, and the defeat of our incomparable armies, showed of what unity Germany was capable. Since that glorious epoch all Germans worthy of the name, Wive pursued their dream of unity. They have created the Zoilverein, or a commercial union of Germany. In 1849 the national assembly of Frankfort made a still bolder effort. Only a little assistance from the Bing of Prussia, and the patriotic hope of all good citizens had become a living reality ; the union was created; Germany was complete. Unfortunately Frederick William, already of a feeble mind and under the influence of the Qu een , f eare d to alienate the petty dynasties of the Confederation. lie failed in energy at the decisive moment, and feudalism remained master of the field of battle. But notwith standing this deception, a vigorous hope survives in tl)e hearts of German patriots. You have seen with what fanatical unanimity they celebrated only the other day Schiller jubilee. Do you think that those solemn fetes, that popular emotion, and overflowing of poetry and eloquence, was a simple homage rendered to the memory of the poet ? Nc, it was, above and before all the out break of a nation which, divided for centuries, seized the first pretext, a remembrance, a glory, a name, to become again united. it Then let Germany be re-united ; France has no more ardent or dearer wish, for she loves the German nation with disinterested love. If we were possessed with that vulgar ambition of which its Princes accuse us we should not inducethe Germans to enter on the path of unity. St ates divided among themselves are more eas y to invade than when united, and diviser pour refiner will always remain the maxim of conquerors. May Germany be united; may she form a b o d y so compac t that the idea of encroaching upon it will never present itself. France, which sees without apprehension an Italy of 26,000, 000 constituted in the s ou th, would no t fear to see 32,000,000 of Germans form a great nation on her eastern frontier. dg what German Sovereign shall have the honour 01 founding this union ? Two great states enter the lists— prussia and Austria. Austria represents the doctrine of Divine right, in its most absolute rigour. Political and religious des potism, abnegation of all the rights of the people, the most enormous concessions to clerical authority, a blind worship of the past and an obstinate hatred of all pro- . gress ; these are the worm-eaten bases of the Austrian monarchy. Upon these foundations, on 'which a dis jointed empire is tottering, shall we try to build up the great Germanic edifice ? All the architects in the uni verse would accuse our imprudence. "This artificial empire, a patchwork of the most different nations, formed by marriages and family com pacts, without the consent of the peoples it annexed, preserved in its integrity by the severity of the police or the sanguinary brutality of the soldiery, inspires but little sympathy to the German nation. As long as the hegemony of the German States remained in the hands of the Hapsburgs they governed the affairs of a nation in a dynastic interest, endeavouring to procure the aggrandisement of Austria at the expense of Ger many. On the day when the Germanic spirit, liberal in its essence, entered on the path of religious reform, Austria placed herself at the head of the ultramontane reaction. Sigismund and Ferdinand H. rivalled the zeal of Philip - It. of Spain ; Tilly and Wallenstein served the Court of Rome as harshly as the Duke of Parma and Alva. How could Germany possibly forget these rigours when the Emperor Francis Joseph, by a disastrous concordat, breaks filially with the Germanic spirit, and places the policy of Austria under the domi nation of Rome ? . . " Nevertheless, Austria has Mends in the German nation. On what suffrages could she reckon if the annexation were , ever to be put to the vote ? I look everywhere, but can only find a few princes and the sacred battalion of the squirearchy. The aristocratic party has its reasons for loving Austria. Family cadets find a Mare - rapid advancement in her service than in that of the other Genian states where the competition of talent is greater. It is on this account that the German nobility, and particularly that of the Catholic Southern States, turns to Austria as the magnet to the Pole. One single figure will give you the ratio of that affinity : Wurtemburg numbered, in 1858, more than 500 officers in the Austrian army. " But the German people, properly so called, the industrious, enlightened, liberal people, set no store by Austria. They see in her a latent power, in a reli gious point' of view; a Sclavonic Magyar, Italian power, mixed and doubtful as far as nationality is concerned. They know that in accepting the domina tion of. Austria they must renounce even a hope of progress ; they see Austria closed to German manu factures (for she obstinately remains out_of the customs union); they hear it said that German ideas are severely denied entrance at all the gates of Austria; they know that a German, arriving at the German frontier, is as much a stranger as a Frenchman, equally suspected of being a dangerous philosopher, and finds almost as much difficulty in making himself understood. They think that the natural allies of the Emperor Francis Joseph are at Rome and at Naples, rather than at DreSden or Berlin, and that the Imperial throne would perhaps be better placed at the foot of the Appenines than ou tbe banks of the Danube. . . "If it were requisite to prove by facts the indifferenca of Germany to the destinies of Austria we might be content to look back at the campaign of 1859. Austria was fighting single-handed in Italy against France and Piedmont ; she was making heroic efforts to retain under her sceptre an oppressed province. Assuredly, the Germans would have required no pressing if our soldiers had invaded the German fatherland. They would have poured down as a torrent to repel the Franco- Sardinian invaders. But as it was merely an Austrian possession that was in peril they thought it better to look curiously upon the struggle, prepared against any emergency, and arrayed with shouldered arms around Prussia, their natural leader. "Austria represents by her population a confused heap of nationalities ; by her government the despotism of Divine right ; by her Concordat, the oppression over consciences ; by her customs laws, the spirit of pro hibition. Prussia personifies German nationality, reli gious reform, commercial progress, constitutional libe ralism; she is the greatest of really Germanic monar chies ; consciences are there more free, enlighten ment more widely spread, political rights more exclu sive than in most other German states. It is she who, by founding the Zollverein, paved the way for free trade ; therefore the people of Germany love Prussia. They behold her progress with sympathising admiration and filial interest; it is to Prussia they would appeal for succour, if any peril were impending. It is to her they would entrust, in preference, the glorious task of national unity. Were she to make up her mind to play the part of Piedmont the whole of Germany with the exception of the princes and squire archy would hasten to remove the obstacles in her way. "At the present time especially, the Regent of the Kingdom, his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, seems to be the object of a worship which borders on fanaticism. The granting of a few liberties, the mani festation of a few good intentions, a certain resistance opposed to the squirearchy ; nothing more was wanting,. the national impulse contributing its aid to place this Prince . on a pedestal. "We are happy to discover. that German unity has found its centre, its rallying point,,and nothing could be more agreeable to us than to behold the nation group ing itself around a firm and upright mind. If nothing occurs to put a stop to the progress of this pacific revo lution, it may be hoped that the Princes themselves, carried along by the movement of their people, will bow to the protecting spirit of Prussia, and that the unity of Germany will be effected without the shedding of a single drop of blood. Diplomacy can raise no objection against this internal reform. An Austrian Germany, by un iting within the same band over 70,000,000 of men, would have threatened the equilibrium of Europe and alarmed the Powers ; a Prussian Germany, with 32,000,000 of citizens, can cause alarm to none. " VII. " But his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia would make a dangerous mistake were he to suppo se that the national movement is powerful enough to dis pense with any assistance. However strong may be the impulsion which leads the mass of Germans towards a Prussian monarchy, all well-regulated minds (tour les bons esprits) will resist the current, and throw them selves back if the court of Berlin does not meet them half way. Democratic , Germany is wise and patriotic enough to rally round a king, but she will require guarantees which the Prussian constitution does not as yet present. " First of all, it would be necessary that Prussia should make a choice between the two principles. which divide Europe at the present day. Divine right and popular right are in presence. Whilst a number of princes obstinately clasp - a - false Jegitimacy, really legitimate empires are being founded upon the democratic basis of universal suffrage. The King of Naples stoutly asserts that his subjects are his property, and the nation meets this pretended right with an armed denial. The Em peror of the French and the King of Sardinia declare, in conformity with the tenets of a modern philosophy, that a people only belongs to itself, and two great nations, by a nearly unanimous vote, elect them their chiefs. Does the Prince of Prussia side with Divine right, with the King of Naples, or with popular right, with the King of Sardinia and the Emperor of the French ? A choice must be made. " It is the more necessary, as the King of Prussia had chosen, and very badly chosen, in 1849. A national assembly, the issue of universal suffrage, offered him in his own palace a legitimate crown. What did he do He pronounced for Divine right against popular r i g h t. He declared that he would only accept the crown if it were tendered him by princes. The Prussian squire archy applauded this anti - democratic resolution, an d history has recorded the formula by which they expressed their assent. 'We do not (they said) want a crown which democracy has spit upon.' "Not content with refusing the empire, the King of Prussia cruelly persecuted the upright and honourable men who had offered it him. The people of Baden and Saxony, interpreting in favour of unity the vote by universal suffrage, had dethroned their Sovereigns. Two Prussian armies invaded, in the name of the ' Divine right,' the kingdom of Saxony and the Grand Duchy of Baden. The King of Saxony was replaced on his throne by the Prussian forces. The Grand Duke of Baden was restored in his turn, in virtue of the same right, and by the same power. But more than this was done. When the battle was won, and the campaign closed— when the democratic army of Baden, 10,000 strong, had retired to the territory of Switzerland—when all resistance to the legitimacy of Divine right was over powered—the Prussian army shot, in the period of three mou ths, iu the midst of the silence of peace, twenty-six German patriots. Their bones rest in the churchyards of Friburg, Raclstadt, and Mannheim; their names are almost all forgotten, yet Germ arly still remembers with admiration, mingled with sorrow, young Max. Dortu, an enthusiastic boy ; Valentine Streuber, a harmless and honest burgher of Mannheim ; the old patriot Boning ; an d, above all, Adolphus Trutzchler, deputy to the Frankfort Parliament, member of the Court of Appeal of Dresden, a man of upright convictions and large fortune. He will long survive in the memory of Ger manic democracy, together with his glorious friend and accomplice, Robert Blum. gi VIII. " Peoples know how to forgive—an advantage they have over some kings. Germany may, therefore, bury i n a generous oblivion these useless persecutions, and the names of the generals who carried them out. But, first of all, it is necessary that the Prussian Govern ment should pronounce. It must, instead of wrapping itself up in a mantle of Austrian conceit, throw its arms open to receive the democratic party. "A few days since a Prussian democrat wrote to a friend in Wurtemberg:— Why are you so long before uniting with us ?" If we did ,I)ccome Prussians,' was the answer, ' all our patriots, and the poet Uhland at their head, would still continue in exile' Nothing apppears more unlikely; but nothing can be more,true. Since the popular emotions' (sic) in 1848, all European princes, not even excepting the Pope, have granted amnesties. The Prussian, amnesty is still due. If the Prince Regent entertains the noble ambition of reigning legitimately over the whole of Germans, let him begin by recalling those exiles whose only Crime was to have proclaimed the will of the nation at the dictation of universal suffrage. Let him do still better. Let him be the testamentary executor of the parliament of 1849, as the Napoleons are the testamentary execu tors of the French revolution Ix! ". " Here we make a pause to refute an objection which certain ill-informed Germans will not fail to make. They fancy on the faith of some feudal prints that the French nation is reduced to slavery. They have been persuaded that the Imperial regime had gagged the utterance of thought, suppressed the national represen tation, and made mincemeat of all our liberties. This it an article of faith throughout Germany, that the Prussians are much happier than we are, thanks to the benignant influence of a liberal Government, and to the blissful harmony of Parliamentary institutions. " It is true that the Emperor Napoleon labours to promote the greatness and the prosperity of Fran 4 with almost unlimited power. But that power, it is the nation that has entrusted him with. Is there throughout Germany a single prince who can be looked upon as the representative of the nation, elected, as Napoleoul 111., by universal suffrage ? " It is true that the majority of Frenchmen obey, and even with a certain degree of empressement, the orders of the Emperor Napoleon. But that obedience is equal for all, as obedience to the law, and, the payment of taxes. • It is a democratic obedience, because all the world has given it beforehand, and because no French man has a right to refuse it, Is the case similar in Prussia ? Do :theY prOvinces subjected to the Prussian monarchy enjoy equal rights ? Is the Grand Duchy of Posen'in :possessibn of the same 'liberties as the Mar gravate of Rrandenburgh ? Is the Margravate of Bran denburgh ruled by Yaws .. as equitable as the Rhenish. provinces ? In the same province are. nobles and burghers equal in the eyes of the tax gatherer? the privileges of the nobility abolished ? Is such fa. thing not to be met with as great territorial magnates who pay taxes in an adverse ratio with their fortune ? " It is true that the French army is sincerely devoted to the chief of the state ; nevertheless, it does not belong to the Emperor, but to the nation. Does the Prussian army belong to the King or to Prussia ? 'lt belongs to the King,' said a minister of one of the Hohenzollern's, a few days since ; ' the deputies of the nation hake nothing to do with the army.' "It is true that amongst us the liberty of the press is placed under severe restrictions;. but the right of print ing anything or everything is not confiscated—it:is only postponed. The nation consents to remain silent for a while around a prince who is achieving great things, just as friends assembled in the closet of a ihilosopher or a writer favour him with their silence. As for the right, it remains intact ; and the French people, armed with the right of petition, will always be able to claim it in fitting time and place, if the Emperor should forget to restore it to them. Public writers at Berlin are perhaps a little more free just now than we are in Paris, thanks to the new-born toleration of the Prince Royal of Prussia, not because they are relieved of the stamp duty, or exonerated from caution money or surveillance ; nevertheless they have more freedom than public writers in Paris. But what guarantee' have they that that privilege will last ? What plea could they bring forward to claim it if the, hand that gave it chose to take it away ? The difference that exists between them and ourselves is that we lend our liberty to Napoleon 111., whilst they borrow theirs from the Prince of Prussia. "Efforts are made to persuade the Germans that we have allowed ourselves to be cheated out of parlia mentary institutions. It is certain that our parliament is greatly changed since 1848. It is no longer a coterie of from 400,000 to 500,000 persons ; it is the whole nation that sends deputies to the Corps Legislatif. That assembly, elected by universal suffrage, like the Emperor himself, no longer enjoys the ridiculous privi lege of interrupting every moment the despatch of busi ness, of replacing deeds by speechification, union by coalition, public interests by private vanity, the serious progress of a great people by the wriggling of a few puny oratorical ambitions, but it enjoys the unquestion able right of voting all the taxes and all the laws of the empire. " This being established, ought we to be jealous of the Prussian constitution ? Is the principle of ministerial responsibility applied in Prussia? Not yet. Have the chambers the acknowledged right of refusing the taxes ? No. And what are the Prussian chambers ? The lower chamber, which corresponds with our Corps Legislatif, is recruited by a mechanism far more ingenious than it is democratic. No universal suffrage ; not even any election at the first stage of the proceedings. Given a (C circle" or arrondisement paying 300,000 f. direct taxes, for instance, the ratepayers are divided into three unequal squads. The fifteen or twenty great land holders who pay the first 100,000 f. between them form the first class of electors ; the second consist of the two or three hundred persons who pay the next 100,000 francs. All the other citizens paying the direct iax—that is to say, from 2000 to 3000 persons, form the third. Each of these three classes assemble separately, and appoint an equal number of electors — six, for instance, in each class—and the 18 electors meet in their turn to proceed to the election of a deputy. Hence it follows that not only the working classes have no hope of being represented in Parliament, but that the third class, or the great majority of the burgher class, will always be in a great minority in the electoral body, and will never send a member to the Chamber. This explains how it was that M. de Vincke, who sat on the right (i.e., the Conservative side), in the Frankfort Parliament is at present, without having changed his opinions, the most advanced democrat throughout the Prussian Chamber. " Can liberal Germany set any store by a body thus composed ? Unquestionably no. And yet the Prussian deputies have occasionally shown some leaning towards progress, but the Chamber of Lords - was there to keep them in order. This latter is composed, first, of noble personages, who have a seat in virtue of their birth ; secondly, of members appointed by the King out of a list of candidates presented to him by the nobility, the universities, and the large towns. The upper cham ber has never been recruited from other sources ; on the one hand birth, on the other the monarch's choice. Therefore, does it entertain a premeditated hostility against any democratic or even simply liberal measure. It rejected, by a large majority, the principle of civil marriages. It almost broke out in open insurrection against a ministerial bill which proposed to make the nobles pay taxes like other classes of citizens. " That constitution is not perfect ; it will:be-wise to modify it if it is desired that the Germans should throw themselves into the arms of Prussia. "It will also he well, in the interest of this great opposition, to treat with a little more fairness Govern ments that are founded on universal suffrage. We do not make the Court of Berlin responsible for 'the Vio lence of the German press. It is not we who will ever request the Prince of Prussia to gag his subjects, even when they insult us. But it is open to us to remark that if the Slide or the Opinion Nationale expressed itself in offensive terms with regard to a sovereign not at war with us, the lifoniteur of the empire, or at least the semi-official papers, would hasten to repair the mischief by severely blaming the delinquents. "It will also be desirable that political men in Prussia should abstain in a constituent assembly to utter threats directly addressed to. France. When M. de Vificke talks in the Chamber of Deputies of reconquering from us Alsatia and Lorraine, the French nation is not roused by this indiscretion to the extent of going to war; but it notes with satisfaction that such imprudent manifesta tions never take place at home. "XII. "Since the accession of Napoleon 111., and especially since the annexation of Savoy, German publicists, perhaps even princes themselves, have loudly expressed an unjust distrust against the policy of France. They will have it that we harbour the design of annexing the Rhenish provinces, and encroaching upon the soil of Germany. This ill-founded apprehension is so noisily manifested and so obstinately repeated, that it might have suggested evil thoughts to us if we were less equitable. It is cer tain that if you address in the public street the meekest and most harmless individual in the world, and say to him, 'Sir, you wish to give me a slap in the face; don't attempt to deny it. I know that you wish to give me 'a slap in the face. Don't swear; I would'nt believe your oath. You want to give me a slap in the, face, but I am stronger than you are ; I am not in the least afraid of you. I would crush you like a worm, and I dare you to give me that slap of the face.' The meekest and most inoffensive man in the world would in the end find excellent reasons for giving what he is asked for, and his hand would spontaneously fall on the cheek of the man who had provoked him. " XIII. • " But no amount of provocation can turn France from the path she has chosen for herself. Whatever satisfaction people may feel in self-aggrandisement and in protecting themselves behind natural barriers, we have too much generosity and too much justice to think of conquering the territory of a foreign nationality. Would 'to Heaven that :the Germanic Confederation were animated with the same spirit ! She would neither have conquered the Grand Duchy of Posen nor attacked Northern Schleswig, nor declared that Trieste is a German town. As for us, we fearlessly assert that Lor raine and Alsatia are both French, because they have proved it against the *Germans themselves. We keep what belongs to us; we ask nothing more; we think that all the natural frontiers and all the watercourses in Europe, are not worth, for the defence of our territory, ' a stream of Zouaves and foot chasseurs with le 4 relled bayonets. "XTV. "Let us be permitted to add to those friendly reflections one last piece of advice—it will prove to what degree we feel an interest in German unity, and in the future of Prussia. "Much as the name of Prussia and her constitution, such as it is, and the person of her august Regent, excite sympathy in Germany, it is equalled by the repul sion, inspired by her bureaucracy, not only to the Ger manic nation, but to honest men of all countries. A ray of light fell, on the 12th of May, 1860, on the man oeuvres of the Prussian police ; and the world then beheld the strangest mixture of awkwardneis and immo rality, of zeal and imprudence, of incendiary provocation and clumsy Machiavelism. " XV. "The following are the facts, as stated at the tribune of Berlin by M. Niegolowski, an honourable deputy of the Grand Duchy of Posen. Three Prussian bure aucra t s —M. De Puttkammer , superior president of the province of Posen ; M. De Bcerensprung, president of police ; and M. Post, secretary interpreter—sought together for 'a good means of manifesting their zeal and of meriting the gra titude of the Government. M. De Puttkammer is a great personage, much higher than a prefect, and littl e less than a minister; M. De B cerensprung is an i m p ortant man ; Post is a poor devil of no note. Puttkammer thinks, Bcerensprutig dictates, and post writes. These three men, by dint of digging in their bureaucratic brains, think to excite a rising in the Grand Duchy of Posen, in order to have the honour of repressing it. The character of exciting agents, which w as always the aversion of Vidocq, does not inspire them with any contempt. They assume the disguise of Poles discontented with Prussian domination ; they found in their offices a false democratic committee, and they put themselves in relation with the central committee in London. ' Send us,' they write, proclamations,; emis saries, and arms !" ‘, They on their side send to London money, the money of the budget, the, unfortu,nate thalers of the taxpayers. • A good employment for the taxes ! The treasurer of the enterprise. was M. Stolzenberg,.eeere- tar) , of police. All letters• were to be addressed to Mde. Ruch, wife of a judge at the superior tribunal — or, to speak German, Mde. la eonseillere Ruch. " The London committee is slow in replying; it hesi tates; it mistrusts, arid it might be said that it smelt treason. But the bureaucratic trio supplicated• so humbly; it besought in such a mellifluous"tone for the alms 'of' a few 'letters and a few little circulars. It speaki'with such adruiration.of General Mazzini, with so much emotion of the prose of Felix Pyat, that the revolutionists of London and Mazzini. himself entered into correspondence with them. This perfidious game lasted for three years, and it would have still gone on :if M. Niegolowski had not stopped it by a thunderclap. " XVI. " The eloquent Posnian orator deposited on the tribune The originaltext of twenty-four letters written by M. Post, dictated by M. De Poerensprung, and inspired by M. De Puttkammer. The first is dated the ~Pth.Augnst, .1858,, and, the last 23rd of April, 1860. No, one has disputed the perfect authenticity of those doeurnents, not even the Minister,of the Interior, Count De Schwerin. We have had .them translat e d i nto French by a sworn translator, and they prove • " That . the Prussian police excited the London com mittee to send .into the Grand Duchy of Posen incen diary proclamations ; that they paid for the printing 43f them in England ; that they caused them to he dis tributed to suspected persons in order to afterwardi seize them, and show the ardour of its zeal to the detrinaent of some subjects of' the' King of Prussia. - . "That Puttkammer, Bcerunsprung, and their accom plices, by dint of solicitations and importunities, obtained from the committee in London the sending of an emissary, named Rewitt ; that, they themselves gave a passport to this unfortunate man ; that they allowed him to move about freely,,in order that he might compromise as many persons as possible; that they at length, arrested him, and had him condemned to two years' imprisonment After that fine exploiti M. De 13cerensprung, the 'saviour of the order whom he had himself disturbed, and the conqueror of the agitation which he had himself excited, offered himself as candi date to the deputation, and was not elected. He did net the less continue his correspondence with the London committee, swearing to Mazzini that Rewitt had been betrayed by the Polish nobility (letter of July 5, 1859), and that many of the nobles belonged to the police (letter of July 19, 1869). "xyII. "These functionaries, leagued against public peace, denounce to the London committee at one time the nobility and the clergy (Feb. 16, 1860), at another the nobility alone, who, they say, are always incorrigible, and ready to sell the country; at another, the deputies of Posen ; then Prince Czartoriski ; next, the whole body of landowners (Dee. 7, 18.59). They hold up to the hatred of emigrants all the great names of the Country ; they coolly discuss the division 'of their estates, and ask how many acres will be necessary for each peasant, for each Custom-house officer, and for each soldier. They excite hatred in order that citizens may be ready to cut each other's throats. When we read these monstrous excitations we are reminded with terror of the events of Gallicia and of that revolution of 1846, which was drowned by the peasants in the blood of the nobles, thanks to the foresight of the Austrian police. We ask ourselves whether the police of Germany are not sisters, like the Grecian muses. We feel that the Ger manic nation would find but slight advantage in uniting with the kingdom of ,Prussia if it were to fall into the hands of Puttkammer, Bcerensprung, and Post. "XVIII. "It is not only in the Polish provinces of Prussia that this terrible bureaucracy sought to sow discord; it looked higher and aspired to nothing less than setting the whole of Europe in a blaze. Doubtless it is sure for its strength, and if it does not fear to light a vast fire it is that it has•under its hands the means of extin guishing it. It is, however, imprudent to unchain violent passions, even when sure of being able to check them again. " Whenever the central committee in London appeared slumbering or fatigued the trio awoke them up, and excited them to enterprise. They wrote on the 25th April, 1859—' We are astonished to see the Democratic Committee show so little activity.' You will not find ten letters out of the twenty-four in which the same dangerous theme is not touched on in different terms. " XIX. " By what actions could the democrats satisfy Putt kammer, Bterensprung, and Post? We had arrived at the 27th of March, /859. It was foreseen that the Emperor of the French was about to make a generous effort in favour of Italian independence. The bureau cratic triumvirate recommended the committee to take precedence of bins. They wished that Mazziui should hasten and get his country to rise before the arrival of the French army. In order to content these .three Prussian functionaries it was necessary that the Italians should hoist the red flag before Napoleon had interfered in the affairs of Italy.' For what interest did they recommend such • criminal madness ? What profit did they expect to derive from it for Italy, for France, or even fro:Prussia ? No °He knows. "On the 21st May they thanked the committee for having sent them—guess what—the process for making Orsini bombs. We shall not ask what use they would make of them, and why they wished to have them sent. We know that those gentlemen were not conspirators but police officers. Doubtless their intentions were pure ; as'snredly their only idea ,was to warn the Emperor Napoleon of any danger, and it was in that spirit that they added to their letter this postscript : ' Will not the French democrats soon make an attempt against Napoleon ?' "But if they felt so warm an interest in the Emperor of the French, why did they say in the same postscript— ' We are much astonished that the revolutionary party in Italy take the side of Napoleon.' The thing was not 'surprising; and in all the universe there was only this trio who would feel this astonishment. "When we carefully peruse this correspondence we are tempted to believe that the authors entangle themselves' in the meshes of their own nets, and that German sincerity shows itself under the skin of the fox. After Villafranca, for instance, when every good German ought to have been satisfied at peace being re-established, and Venice preserved, Puttkammer, Beerensprung, and Post showed themselves more Mazzinian than Mazzini. They predicted that ' revolution ;would break out in Italy, in Hungary, in Germany, in Prussia, perhaps even in France, and as far as in Poland. The treason of Napoleon has opened the eyes of all the world, and there are no oppressed nations but soon look for their deliverance.' " We know not how to interpret such language; one might think it sincere and in good faith. If it were permitted to suspect Prussian bureaucracy, we should say that the bureaucratic trio wished death to the Em peror Napoleon, and endeavoured to render him an object of suspicion to oppressed nations, and to excite the democrats against the empire. " But if this hypothesis had a shadow of truth, we should not dare to quote the following phrase, for it would be a crime : " What is going on in France ? Will there not be a second Orsini ? Are not the republicans about to attempt something to overthrow the tyrant ?'—August 20, 1859. " XX. " God forbid that we should carry up the responsi bility of those imprudences too far ! The police itself has been more unskilful than guilty, for it has not been able to conceal its most secret papers from the vigilance of honest men. But the Prussian Government will do wisely to direct their functionaries not to continue in such tortuous paths, which are not without danger. "Every one now knows that if Orsini had succeeded in his criminal attempt, he would have assassinated the future liberator of Italy, and done his country more harm than good. It may also be said that if MM. D e Puttkammer, De Bcerensprung, and Post, without any bad intention, and from unintelligent zeal, had raised up a second Orsini, they would have deprived Prussia of a very useful ally, who is perhaps called on to render,her very great services, provided she lends herself to it." The Dalian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting on the llth, passed the bill extending, the Sardinian law on the press to Tuscany, by 203 votes against 3. THE TREATY AND SCOTCH LINENS.—Mr. Cobden has informed the Dundee Chamber of Commerce that, on the Ist of June, 1861, the duties on British "linen and hemp manufactures and yarn," imported into France "will be placed on a level with those of Belgium." At present the duties on linen fabrics made in Scotland are 165 per cent. higher than on Belgian fabrics. LONDON DIOCESAN CHURCH BUILDING SOCIETY.— The annual meeting of the London Diocesan Church Building and Metropolis Churches Fund Society was held on Friday, at Willis's Rooms ; the President, the Lord Bishop of London, in the chair. Amongst the gentlemen present were the Bishop of Lincoln, the Bi shop of Oxford, Lord Ebury, Earl Grosvenor, M.P., Mr. Selwyn, M.P., Mr. Slaney, M.P., Hon. R. C. Winthrop, Hon. Colonel Cast, and Vice Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood, besides Archdeacon Sinclair,and many others of the clergy. The Commitee stated, in their sixth year's report, that the present situation of the society was a favourable one. Its finances, though still far short of what in this wealthy diocese they ought to be, showed an increase upon last year of £BOO in donations and col lections in churches. The receipts for the past year, in cluding £2,510 landowners' subscriptions, and ,£573 re payments on account of loans, had amounted to £6,660, of which £534 belonged to special funds. The expend iture had been, in grants, £7,609 ; in loans, £BOO ; sal aries, legal, printing, travelling, and other managing ex penses, £726. The balance of the general fund now remaining available was £11,953, and £658 special fund. The number of churches consecrated daring the year, which had been built with the aid of this society, was eleven, being the same as last year. Three temporary churches had also been opened. The report, and various resolutions promoting the objects of the society, were agreed to. ROBBERY OF £4OO WORTH OF WATCHES AND JEWELLERY. At an early hour on Saturday morning last some thieves effected an entrance into the premises of Air. Bray, pawnbroker, Rotherham, and succeeded in taking away between £4OO and £5OO worth of gold and silver watches and watch guards, rings, pins, and other erticles of jewellery. With a crowbar they succeeded in forcing the window opera, and without searching the place, at once proceeded downstairs, into the pledge shop, and Then into the sale shop. The latter place they completely cleared of everything . in the shape of jewellery, taken mostly from the window where it was exposed for sale. Among other things were about 70 watches, nearly a score being gold ones, and some of them extremely valuable ; about 40 silver guards, several of them sterling metal ; 22 or 23 gold guards, snuff boxes, seals, and a whole handful of gold rings. Break ing a fan-light over the door, the thieves threw the pro perty to their companions iu the street, and then de scending the ladder, effected their escape. When the thieves were descending the ladder into the street, a Mr. Jarvis, a neighbour, whose attention had been attracted by the noise, got up to the window and saw them making off. He cried out for the police, and two young men coming up, at once ran to the station house, and gave the alarm. A short time afterwards, traces of the thieves were found betweeia Rotherham and Masbro', where they had dropped one or two brooches, a number of prize tickets, and a gold pin; and at half-past four o'clock—two hours after the thieves were seen to decamp—Detective-officer Sills, and office-keeper Laughton, apprehended three notorious thieves at an early dram shop, who presented the appearance of having arrived from the country. Their names are Luke Thorpe, John Jackson, and William Grist, and they have since been remanded. None of the property was, however, found upon them, though there is no doubt from remar ks they were heard to make that they are the guilty party. 30, BOLD-STREET. AAT T .
