THE Paircasa or Waux.— The following bulletin
was issued on Sunday evening :—"Her Royal filghneni
the Princess of Wale. has had soon refreshieg sleep'
during the day. The febrile disturbance due to the acute
rheamatism has in a great measure subsided, though
th-re is still much persistent local pain. The infant
Princess is well." The Poseur lays: "The rheumatic,
affiwtion under which the Princess of Wales has been
suffering, has been stated by several of your °octant-
pormies to have been in whit hlr. Jefferson, as Rip N an
Winkle, used to eall the 'elle-bo us.' This, I believe,
is incorrect, the Princess's pain being in the other joint
so pathetically mentioned by poor Rip—the 'k—nes.'"

Tee J•KAIOA PnuarcurrosA—The examination of
Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand was resumed at
Bowatreet on Saturday morning. Mr. Philippe was

some other evidence was taken. The case for the
pro.ecution being closed, Mr. Mennen aid Mr. Bristow!'
addressed the inakistrate, urging that no case had been
made out for committing Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant
Brand for trial. Mr. Fitsjamm Stephen replied, and
Sir Thomas Henry decided that there were questions
both of law and fact in the came which must be left for
a higher court to deal with. He therefore irommlttsd
the prisonert for trial at the April sessions. They were,
however, liberated on bail. It is said that in the
of the grand jury Boding true bills, the case will
be moved by certiorari to the Court of Queen's Bench,
and, there is reason to believe, will be a trial at bar
before four of the judges and jury. No trial at bar, it

old unity of Germany was broken up by the
dimensions of peoples and prinon. The country
became the battle field of nations, and furnished
the prises of combat. Long had Germany visited
for unity and at last hal been led to it by paths
which were neither chosen nor foreseen. Some saw ideas
tad bad to be made, and while thanking his allies for
their readiness to mist, his Majesty took credit for
Prussie for the chief part of the work. During the
negociations for cementing the German States great
difficulties had been encountered, and it was essential
for the Perliament to realise these difiltaltiee when
considering the draft of the Constitution. "The point,/
supreme importance at present," said the King, " is not
to neglect the favourable moment for establishing the
building; its more perfect completion can thee safely
remain entrusted to its sabetmeect combined co-
operation of the German Sovereigns and rases." The
pr cue settlement of the radios. between North and
South (a-many would be decided upon when the North
German Constitution had been settled. The new

"The Germsn race unite only for defence and not for
attack." Finally, the Parliament way sasared that
