THE POLICE COURTS.

A gonteel-looking youth, between ten and el,,Ten year
old, was charged with playing at marbles and causing en
annoyance to the inhabitants of Oranvilla•square.
Police-constable 12.3 G said he had been desired by ladies
and gentlemen residing in the square, to keep it clear of
boys and girls playing about it. lie saw the defendant
playing at marbles there. Ha would not say whether he
resided iu the square, and witness in consequence ri moved
him and eventu.illy took him in chareo when he kicked
him.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—No wonder at that. Why must he go
away when he had done nothing? Are any of the in-
habitants here to complain against him ?
The oftleersaid there were icicle' in attendance.
Many lashes and gentlemen here stead forward; but
Mr. Tyrwhitt said—Unless they wished to be examined
on oath he would not hear them, for it was a caw of a kind
that demanded a strict investigation, and ho was deter-
mined to see justice done.
Mr. Cuntles Ilveley, of 25. Granville-square, tendered
himself as a witness fur the boy, and said when swore he saw
the constable seise the youth in the most unjustifiable man-
ner, and afterwards take him by the can and neck and
burl him on his back in such a forei4le and brutal
manner that he thought kni back must have broke.
Mr. Tyrwhitt at once set the lad at liberty, telling him
not to annoy any one, or he would be liable tu be punished.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Ittaco 2.
In the second chamber tho Minister of Finance
has brought in a bill fur raising the excise duty on
beet-root used for the manufacture of sugar. At tint
I no duty was levied ; then one and eight-tenths of a
penny per cwt. of raw roots were imposed. This
duty was doubled in 1830 ; it is now to be raised to
bd. and four-tenths, which, reckoning from 14 to 13
owts. of roots to 1 cwt. of raw sugar, makes about
7a. 6d. duty per cwt. of supr ; whereas colonial
sugar pays 15s. ; so that the beet-root sugar manu-
facturers have a bonus or protection to the amount

of 7s. 041. per OWL ; and as, in good years, not
far abort of a million owt. of beet-root sugar
are made in the Zollverein, the loss to the
exchequer is two millions and a half of
dollars, which the tax-payers of all classes have
to make good, all for the " protection " of a
certain class of capitalists and the proprietors of rich
alluvial lands adapted to the growth of beet.

ALGIERS.

The Akhbar of Algiers, of the 28th nit., publishes
the following from ffougia :
We hay., just received the following afflicting amounts
from !lonia, and the exactitude of which there is unfortu-
nately no reason to doubt. The expeditionary column of Gen.
Bonnet, after hey i Lig defeated the vain attempts of Bou-Bur-
ghia, remained in its
_position in the very heart of Kabylia,
about 2-5 miles from Boughs, whence it was able to observe
all that was going on in the country. On the 18th the wea-
ther began to set in very bad; the rivulets were swollen by
the heavy rains ; the communications between the town
and the camp were interrupted, end the troops began to be
in want of provisions. During the night of the 21st there
was a very heavy fall of snow ; in some places it was six
feet in depth, and covered the tents of our soldiers.
On the 22nd an order was given to strike the camp,
and the troops commenced their march towards Bougie.
The cold was very severe, and the men, overcome by pri-
vations and fatigue, bad lost their habitual vigour, and tell
(lead along the road. The column was thrown into dis-
order, and a disaster soon occurred similar to that which
was experienced eight years ago by the column of
General Leeasseur, in the Bou-Theleb. In the evening
of the T2nd some stragglers began to series at Bougie,
and the accounts which they gave threw the town into the
greatest consternation. Measures were immediately taken
to render assistance. Independently of the resources at the
command of the military, en appeal was made to the in-
habitants. Mules, homes, and every means of transport
were put in requisition ; many of the inhabitants left the
town, provided with torches, in search of our unfortunate
soldiers, and every house was open to receive them as
they might arrive. Fires were lighted en the streets ; soup
and hot wine were preFlllbli for them. What is very
remarkable is, that the kabyles never sought to profit b
this disaster ; but, on the contrary, wherever they met with
straggling soldiers, they assisted and bught them to Bougie,
as well as they could do it. The official report will soon
make known the loss of thp French column. At first it
I was estimated at 300 men at least, but nothing positive
is yet .known, as stragglers are constantly arriving at
Bought. Several have been placed in the hospital with
their limbs frost-bitten. The loss of officers will be small ;
the only one known to have perished is M. Laure, an assist-
ant-surgeon, who fella victim to his courageous devotedness,
having been drowned in saving the lives of a captain and
two soldiers. Generals Ilosquet and Jamin did not reach
Bougie until the night of the 23rd ; they did everything
that it was possible to do under such circumstances. General
Jansin arrived to-dap at Algiers. This event changes
nothing in the situation of the affairs of Kabylia—every
army in the world has met with similar accidents, and it is
a further proof of the necessity of establishing good roads
on all points which out column are obliged to pass over to
secure the submission and tranquillity of the country.

PERSIA.

A letter from Teheran, Of Feb. 21, in the National'
Gazette of Berlin, states that the cause of the disgrace
of Mirza Taghe Khan, the late Vizir, was his having
ventured to point out to the Shah the profligate con-
duct of his Majesty's mother. The Shah manifested
the greatest indignation at the recital of the Vizir, and
immediately dismissed him from his high post. The
Vizir was afterwards is danger of his life, but his
wife, who is the Shah's sister, succeeded in receiv-
ing a positive assurance that his lite should be spared.
The Russian ambassador also interfered, and
received an assurance from the Shah to the same
effect. Subsequently, however, the Shah, when on
a hunting party, allowed himself to be worked on
by his mother, and gave orders for the Vizir's death.
The executioners, when they arrived, found him in
a bath, and experienced from him a desperate re-
sistance.

TURKEY.

The correspondent of the Cosailestionnel writing
from Constantinople, on the sth, states that the
determination of the bank not to receive paper
money (kaimes) of the government in payment
of bills on Europe had caused, in addition to great
perturbation in the money market, a fall in the
paper money of from 7 to 8 per cent., and a total
disappearance of specie. The directors of the bank,
when called on for explanations, declared that they
had not sufficient confidence in the kaimes to ex-
change them for bills of exchange, which would have
to be paid in Europe in specie, and that sooner than
do so they would wind up their affairs. A depute.
tion, consisting of ten of the principal mer-
chants of different nations, was nominated to
make known to the government the lamentable
situation of commerce, and it was to have'
an interview with the Minister of Finance on the
oth. It was believed that the Grand Vizier, and the
other members of the Cabinet, would attend the con-
ference. In the Ilaouran hostilities had been sus-
pended, in consequence of the commencement of the
bad season, and it was hoped that an arrangement
would be come to. The English had offered their
mediation, and they exercise a very great influence
over the Druses. Order had been re-established at
Bagdad, and the Bedouins had ceased to interceptthe
communications. The youngest brother of the Shah
of Persia was in that city. He had been compelled to
fly from Teheran in consequence of being suspected of 1
heti ng belonged to the sect of the Babis. fhe Minister
of England aided him in his flight, and gave him a 1
strong recommendation to Colonel Rawlineen, consul-
general at Bagdad. At first the governor of Bagdad
refused to receive him ; Colonel Ilawlinson there-
upon made the prince put on an English uniform,

and toot him to the consulate. The prince continued
to mid* in the consul-general's house, and to wear
the uniform. Mohammed Khan, minister of Persia
at Constantinople, had died. M. de Lavalette, the
French minister, was to have an audience of the
Sultan on the question of the Holy Sepulchre, which
has not yet been settled. It was said that the
minister would be moderate in form, but would
firmly defend what he considered the rights of
France. The ministry had not become consolidated.
The recall of Said Pacha, brother-in-law of the
Sultan, favourite of the Ulemas, and chief of the
retrograde party, would, it was thought, increase its
difficulties.

The Constantinople correspondent of the I)elata
states that the day on which the resolution of the
bank was made known,bills to the extent of 40,000/.
were negotiated, but the next day only specie be-
came so scarce that the business done 'dropped to
11,0001. A rumour was current that England had
offered money to Turkey at a low rate of interest.
This is considered likely to be true.

George Pike, aged 69,alainsUr, and Abrahams Fannies,
• corn-dealer, of RAM Hood-lase l'oplar, were brought
up on remand, charged with stealing • quantity of Dorn
I and sacks from the warehouses of the Eastern Counties
Railway, better known as the pepper warehouses attached
to the But India Dock, Blackwell. A large quantity of
sacks, and a good deal of grain, consigned to the Railway
Company for delivery, had been missed from their ware-
houses. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner Pike, who was in
the service of the company, and M was dusty watched.
Oa the 6th instant, Mr. John Dyson, foreman in
the company's warehouses, mimed three seeks of
barley, sae sack of bear, and one sack of
wheat, from • floor in this warehouse. On the 3rd
instant, between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning,a labourer,
of the name of !toward, saw the prisoner Pike take out
four-bushel sack containing corn, and put it into • truck
which had been brought Into the yard by Samuels, who
drew it away. Oa the morning of the 6th Samuel. again
I brought struck into the warehouse-yard, and having re- I
eeived another sack of corn from Pike, who brought it out
of the warehouse, he drew the truck away. 'I he auks
were sworn to by the witnesses as having the words
",Eastern Counties Railway Compaay " painted on them.
After the grata was miming, Mr. Credit, a foreman, spoke
to Pike on the subject, and asked him if he had taken any '
sweepings from the B floor; and he replied in the nega-
tive. He was then asked if he had taken any from the U
floor, from which place he was seen to bring out two sacks
of corn, and be said he had not been there sines the pre-
ceding Friday. Mr. Crooke then inquired of him what he
had put on • hand-track since half-put S in the morning;
to which he replied—" I put nothing on without your
orders." Mr. Creaks watched the prisoner at dinner-time
oa the same day, and saw him proceed to Robin llood•lane,
and go into Samuels's shop, where both the prisoners re-
mained, and continued in earnest conversation for some
time. Both the prisoners were apprehended on the Bth
iut., when they denied all knowledge of each other. The
truck in which the two sacks of corn had been removed
was found at the back of Samuels's premises.
Puddiford, a police constable, No. 278 X, went to Pike's
lodgings at No. 81, Pennington-street, the day he woo taken
into custody, and there found one of the railway companj's
auks. It was neatly a new one. On the same day, Mr.
We., Gavin, inspector of the Eastern Counties Railway
police, made • further search in Pike's dwelling, sad disco-
vered that his front room was carpeted with the railway
company's seeks. Mr. Gavin also found in Pike's house
three bushels of glean oats and • large number of sacks,
which had been cut up.
Oa these fasts Hr. Robinson, who appeared for the com-
pany, submitted there was a prima fade ease for a jury, and
Me. Ingham committed the prisoners for trial.
Mr. Pelham offered bail to any amount for Samuels, but
The magistrate refused it on the ground that there had
been • wholesale system of robbery.

Cl seastitutismal statist is now sitting for the last

Christian Frederick, and the abandonment of the

We read in the Emancipation of Brussels, of yes-

It was expected that the Monileu► of yesterday would
enntai• the royal decrees reconstituting the Cabinet. The
silence of the official organ has given rise to many contra
dietary rumours. The mast reasonable version appears to
us to be that which consists in stating that the members of
the new Cabinet wen desirous of devoting their first day to
drawing up • political CZPOSe, which will be sent to the
ifortiteur, with the decrees of nominations.

Tho indlpendance says :
Although everything confirms what we bare published as

appear, however, that anything will be definitively settled
before one or two days.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.

(Trout Ws Mork Law rurpress.)
_ _

The wheat trade haiMairiiained a very firm tone
since our last, and though no quotable advance has been es-
tablished in prices, the tendency has on the whole been up-
wards. The eaferiority of the quality of the new, and the
unsatisfactory condition in which the greater proportion of
the supply has come to hand, have tended to render pur-
chasers cautious; and to this cause the want of activity
which we have for some weeks past had to notice may be
in a great measure attributed. The millers find that they
cannot use the soft samples of new except with a larger
mixture of old than usual, and they are, consequently, de-
terred from baying the former freely. The trade may,
however, be described as decidedly. healthy. A consider-
able portion of what was bought during the excitement in
August has already gone into consumption, and the stocks
in the hands of merchants, millers, and dealers have again
been reduced into a moderate compass. A more extensive
demand may, therefore, be shcrtly expected; and, unless
the supplies should prove more liberal than calculated on,
a gradual rise in prices of the finer kinds of new and the
best descriptions of old wheat may be pretty safely reckoned
upon. The arrivals from abroad have latterly been
tolerably good; the greater part of the supply has been
from porta east of Gibraltar. Many of the cargoes had
been sold to go to Ireland before they reached our shores,
and the majority of those not previously disposed of have
since been taken for the same destination. From the Baltic
the receipts have not hitherto been large; some quantity
is, however, known to be on passage. What the supply
may amount to cannot be we

ITALY.

ROME, Ocr. 4.
It is more than probable that the decapitation of Ed-
ward Murray would have been a fail accompli long
ago, had not the Austrians raised an unexpected ob-
stacle to the carryksg out of the sentence, when
Murray and his fellow prisoners were sent back to
Ancona, after their condemnation to death, in the
month of May last: nor is it likely that the nature
of the sentence would have been divulged here in
Rome, if the authorities had not supposed that whilst
they were revealing the awful secret in the capital,
it had already been carried into effect in Ancona.
It appears that the Austrians objected to furnish
troops for the lugubrious ceremony of • guillotine
execution, however unscrupulous they might have
been in attending a military one, and refused the
del .gate's request to bo allowed to send for a com-
pany of Papal soldiers from Joel or Macerate to
guard the fatal scaffold. Before instructions
could be received from Rome how to act
in such a contingency, and before the prisoners
could be transferred for execution to another loca-
lity, the remonstrances of consuls Moore and Free-
born, and the petition of the British residents in
Rome, rendered the carrying out of the sentence im-
possible, without giving the papal authorities the ap-
pearance of acting with malignity and defiance. If
this is correct, which I have every reason to believe,
the Austrians are the immediate cause of Murray's
life having been prolonged, and perhaps eventually
saved.

General Demean returned to Rome on the 28th
ult. He is no favourite with the Romans, who would
have preferred a change. In general, reports from
the provinces occupied by the Austrians indicate
that the inhabitants of those districts are much more
satisfied with their patronage than the inhabitants
of the capital and its environs are with that of the
French.

The Neapolitan government has added to the
rigours of its passport system since the let of Oct., in
the case of British and other travellers wishing to
proceed southwards from Rome. The Right Hon.
Mr. Nichol was refused the visa to his passport by
the Neapolitan Minister a week ago, because the
passport, a Foreign-office one, had not been signed
by the Neapolitan Ambassador in London. The
applicant had, therefore, to get a yew passport from
Mr. Freeborn, with which he was allowed to pro-
ceed to Naples.
