REOPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
(TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH.)
BERLIN, SATURDAY, JAN. 4.
In to-day's sitting of the S.N..ond Ch,mber the
Presidents were elected. Schwerin and Simpson
were re-elected by a great majority.

BERLIN, JAN. 3.
The majority of tho Second Caumber havir.g re-
jected the motion that the discussion of the address
ehmild be struck out of the order of the day, the pro-
ceedings of the chamber arc simply to be continued
the continuation of the address debate is however
hardly to be expected. A committee was formed
yesterday of the Geppert, Riedel, and Hel-
goland fractions. A sub c3inmittee was also formed
for the eventual proposition of a motion. A
special order of the day has matt' prospects of
success. Tne motive for this will of course provoke a
d.scussion. Despite the common committe*, each of the
3 fractions reserve to themselves the power of making
separate motions. But, of courv, the great object
will be to gain collectively as large a majority as
possible for the special order of the day.
Count Kittberg presided in the Upper Ilouse. In
his address he protested against the late ministerial
measures against Hesse and Holstein. Baron Mon
asked that the papers on the German question should
b. produced by the ministers. The cabinet reserved
its reply to this demand.
The commissioner departed yesterday for Holstein.
The proclamation to the Holsteiners will appear
to-morrow. Lord Westmoreland has left Berlin to
represent his government at Vienna.
MUNICH, Dtc. 31.

M. Manteuffel and M. von Pfordten are said to be
anaiu ou cordial terms. M. Manteeffel, shortly after
his arrival at Dresden, made a visit to M. von
l'fordten, who had not called on the Prussian
m:iiister.

Our Dresden correspondent writes as follows:
DRESDEN JAN. 2.
. _

Section or committee No. 1 for the revision of that
part of the constitution which deals with the organ-
isation of the supreme authority and extent of ter-
ritory of the confederation met this morning,but owing
to the absence of Prince Schwartzenberg, no businees
was tree meted. The Prince was prevented from
attending by the sadden, though not unexpected,
arrival from Berlin of Herr von Manteuffel, who
immediately closeted himself with his Austrian
colleague, and remained with hint under lock
and key in an inner chamber until the
time for the departure of the last train for
Berlin. The Prussian minirter was then seen to
hurry from the palace, and walk at a rapid pace to the
rai:way terminus. This sudden and short visit, the
advent of which watt kept a profound secret, has
added not a little to the alarm and dismay of those
who have seen throughout the negotiations ro:hing
but the defeat and humiliation of Prussia. It is held
by others to be another proof of the impossibility of
I mil= between the two ministers and is considered to
be the last attempt which 'Prussia will make
for the purpose. I do not view the occurrence
in the same light. As I have before stated I have
sufficient reasous for believing the two ministers to
have arrived at an understanding on the whole ques-
tion which is to come before the conferences, though
its dettils are naturally a secret; for believing fur-
ther that these dejails are of such a nature that. their
publication would raise a storm of opposition among
the petty menarche, before the time when i• could be
set aside with facility. That being the case the sud-
den visit of the Prussian minister must have
mother cause. His equally sudden return
gives us the key to it. To-morrow morn-
ing the Prussian chambers re-assemble after the
adjournment from the 4th of December, and Herr von
Nlanteulfel very probably desires to he prepared with
some powerful weapon against the "pointed words"
in the chamber, with which the opposition are sure
to c. me plentifully armed. The finencisl colidition
of the country requires the speedy aid of the parlia-
ment in the shape of the vote of the annual budget,
without which the administration cannot be car-
ried on, for the treasury is exhausted, and
a :quarter's salary is due from eesterday to
every one of the public servants. lender
these circumstances Manteuffel must wish to per-
suade the chambers to proceed first of all to the
money question, leaving the German question and the
policy of the government to be debated when that is
settled. To succeed in this, however, it is absolutely
indispensable that he should make some kind of
satisfactory statement to the chambers, as otherwise
he would bo c impelled to dissolve them, and enact
unconetilutinal measures, similar to those which have
disgraced the Elector of Cassel and his premier, I Ns-
senpflug, and his visit to Dresden was for the purpose
of drawl eg up,with theassistauceof Prince Schwartzen-
berg, a statement which should not disturb their plans
for the dyne man constitution. This is the more reason-
able solteion of an event which will, to-morrow
morning, explain itself by the proceedings in the
Prussian chambers.

The wishes of the agents of the smaller states are
concentratine more strongly than ever in the dualistic
plan for the government of Germany, and their
wishes have been so plainly hinted, that the next
step must be a request to be medialized. But
very few of the dukes aed grand dukes of
Germany would oppose a measure of this kind, and the
representatives of the majority have already clearly
I expressed their opinions, that, for the sake of obtain..
ing a strong and united government in Germany, in
the hands of Austria and Prussia, they will gladly
consent to cede their sovereign rights and the thorny
crown, the dignity of which their strength will not
permit them to assert—provided they are well pro.
sided for. The Great Powers will find willing sup-
porters in the princes of the houses of Saxe, Anhalt,
Scbwarzburg, Lippe, Brunswick, Oldenburg, Items,
&c., if their plans tend to the division of Germany into
I two great political bodies with a united powerful head;
but should these plans be attended with the slightest
concession to the minor kings, they will meet with
an equally undivided opposition. The watchword of
the representatives of the smaller principalities is--
dualism and mediatisation, or the restoration of the
old Bundestag. These gentlemen frequently meet to
discuss their position and prospects, and until now
their meetings have all displayed the greatest
harmony.
It is stated that the Austrian government has
caused assurances to be given to the courts of Saxony,
Wurtemberg, and Bavaria, that they need not be
under any apprehensions for their sovereign rights.
The period for which the Zollverein treaties were
concluded has not long to run, and, at its expiration,
unless unforeseen events occur, the Zollverein will
undergo a considerable diminution in extent, if it be
not altogether destroyed. For such a result Austria
can well afford to make concessions of political power
to Prussia, when the real source of the influence of
Prussia is at the same time being undermined and
threatened with der ruction. The King of Prussia
and his ministers will ere long repent having pursued
the political path to greatness, instead of the more
solid one of commercial freedom. The political
liberties which they offered to the German people
have not proved more visionary /gels Jetta to the
latter than they have to themselves. In ether bands
the system of political and commercial freedom
might, perhaps, have been combined with brilliant
results.

Two divisions of the Prussian army bad re-
ceived orders to march to Hamburg. A commission,
it is said, has been appointed at Dresden, to undertake
the settlement of Hessian affairs in a legal legitimate
way. Same sharp outpost affairs have taken placa
between the Schleswig-Holsteiners and Danes, at
Mohlhorst, Hummelfeld, and Holm. The Holsteinere
In all have taken in these encounters 23 prisoners, and
have on their side had 16 men and two officers
wounded. General Wrangel has been appointed to
the command of the two diviaions of the Prussian
army destined fer Hamburg.
General Thiimer and Count Mensdorf, the commis..
goners to Schleswig Holstein, have arrived at Ham-
burg; they were expected to la, at Kiel on the 4th.
At Kiel the chambers (Landeeversamlung) were
to assemble on the 3rd January. There was a report
that a government commission is to be formed to
take the place of the Stadtholderate at this critical
moment. Another report, less probable, was current

SAVONAROLA IN LONDON.

Yesterday, between the morning and evening ser-
vices, Father Gavaezi appeared, pursuant to a circular
issued among his Italian friend!, to address an auditory
hastily assembled in the concert room of the Prin-
aeliell theatre, Oxford-street; and the celebrated ora-
tor fully realised all the accuunte which, during the
late rising of the peninsula, were, from time to time,
transmitted to us about his electrical style of elo-
quence in ;popular assemblies. The Father was at-
tired in his black serge habit as a Ilarnabite monk,
ani wore on his breast the rude wooden cross of his
order. The subject of this his inaugural discourse
was the abuses which successive Ponta had
beeped on the church entrusted to their care,
and the outrageous superfastations which disfigured
the body catholic in consequence of such popery.
Our reporter did not arrive in tuna to catch the open-
tag portion of the Father's harangue, bat found hint
discussing the part which the Italian clergy had to
play in the great drama now in course of performance
in his native land :

OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. J. A. Curtis is

Polianeto Cavalier is appointed a member of the Legielatir,
Council of St. Ltscia.-06urrer.

There are clergymen in our prostrate country, as else-
where, who are mere sacerdotal tradesmen—pecti beteg.,
caero !tn./fir:afore. We know the men—we knee, them of
old. They cry bush ! if you whisper the word abuse. They
say uncover not the shame of our mother. No ; let the
gangrene go on—let corruption eat farther into the flesh
until the whole male luc icne putrid—carrion so rank that it
smell to heaven. We in the meantime eat and drink and
make merry in the lazarhouse, the church of the living
God, or, like sailors in a plague ship with Peter at the
hells ;" so our rations are erred out regularly, let the crew

of Italy. I have been told by the craven slaves of an

expounders of the N.w Tel:loner. Who sends, and who
are sent now, on the errand of conversion ? Wtto sends?
I'll tell ye. An empty-beaded and hollow-hearted egotist,
whose vanity is only equal to his imbecility, and who has
earned the scorn and detestation of the three millions olludian
annoyer whom by a curse of providence and the aid of French
24 pounders he exercises his abhorred tyranny— a pastor, for-
Booth, of the Rusin flock, who has fulfilled to the letter the
scriptural sketch of a meteenery shepherd, to whom the sheep
do not by right belong. The mercenary or "the hirrlirg,
when he ten the wolf sppronh, ties away" in the bat dis-
guise he can, even that of a footman, tecause he is a hire-
ling;" but the good shepherd, instead of causing thousands
of his flock to be mssitacred on his account, and for his selfish
purposes, rather lays down his own life (not to say a crown
that he has uo right to) rather than peril the life of a single
lamb of the fold. Such is the character who sends to con-
vert England—to convert freeborn men to his allegiance—
allegiance to a ruler broueht Lade over the gory ramparts of
bombarded Rome to sit in sullen and detested supremacy

from the " Flaminian gate," and who, instead of the hum-
bly shod but yet beautiful feet of those who in all humility
bring the gospel of peace, flaunts before the eyes of the bar-

island a pair of red silk stockings ; a man who dreams more
of t• entlizonisations " than the poor of Christ ; whose
thoughts are about a welluocked wine cellar and weekly
cronetreasiones ; a man tt dowsinatie in eerie;" an over-
bearing tendency already marked in scripture as the
characteristic of false churchmen ; more studious of the
paltry homage which he can exact rom the feeble and noto-
Floury degenerate aristocracy of his flick than of the state in
which the back slum, of Westminster are and will
long remain under such caretaking ; with his
pockets full of Austrian and Neapolitan errlifiefrre,

PENSION,.—The Queen has granted pensions on
the Civil Li.t of 1001, • year each to Mn. Men :ni, the aged
widaw lot the celebrand treveller, and to Mr. Poole, the
author of " Paul Pry," and of several contrtbu•wns to pa-
rodical literalism. The latter is, we relent to hear, a great
autlirer from bodily infirsaitits.-11,W1.

This is, of course, but a brief outline, with a few
passages of the Father's veiled and impassioned ar-
gument, which was conveyed with a fervour of de-
clamation and a grace of delivery quite unknown to
our clerical spe►kers. We honestly confers that we
have not seen or heard in London any public orator
at all to be compared with this finished and truly
classic preacher. We can fully comprehend the effect
of his eloquence on the thousands who filled the
great square of St. Mai k, and the various other pub-
lic gatherings throughout Italy, when he swayed the
fierce democracy and roused the energies of the Pen-
insula. His command of language is most copious,
and the variety as well as appropriate dignity of his
attitudes and intonation truly captivating.

FRIGHTFUL COLLISION ON THE LONDON
AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
SEVERAL PASSENGERS INJURED.

A collision of a very serious character, by which
several first-claw and other passengers have sustained con.
aiderable injury, took place on Saturday, on the line of the
London and North Western Railway, at Roemer. It
appears that shortly before 3 o'clock a goods train, in con-
sequence of the defective state of its engine, put into the'
Boxmoor Station, and remained there whilst the nee aaaaa y
repairs were being effected. At this time the Liverpool
express, which ought to arrive at Euvon.square at 4 o'clock,
was nearly due, and:the stoppage signals were hoisted at the
station. Shortly after 3 o'clock the express train hove in
sight, and the driver, Newland, saw the stopping signal at
from 803 to 1.000 yards before ;reaching the station. The
express train does not stop at Boxtnoor, but immediately on
se- ing the signals, which were also see■ by Murphy, the
guard, who was in the brake carriage next to the engine,
it is stated that the driver immediately shut off his steam,
and reversed his engine, whilst the guard put down the
brakes; but as the train when the signals were first seen
au going at the rate of about thirty-tire miles an hour, It
wee impossible to step, and the express traia came in col-
lision with the goods train, whilst it was still going at a
speed of something like 8 or 10 mites an hour. The driver
and stoker of the express train teeing that a collision was
inevitable, end knowing that the steam was shut off,
jumped from their engine. The driver escaped unhurt;
but the stoker, not having completely cleared the engine,
was found on the line, and was for some time supposed to be
dead, but stimulants having been applied be became better,
but has sustained acme dreadful injuries to the legs. The
erias of the passengers at first led to a belief teat very
serious consequences had resulted. Medical aid was procured
from the tows, sou the greatest attention paid to the sufferer.
It is stet. d that 12 or 14 persons were more or less injured;
one gentleman had the bone of his right eye driven in and
broken, a lady had her teeth keoeked out, another was
severely cut about the face, and others received contusions
about the head and limits, but, wilt the exception of the
gentleman referred to, no b.,nes were fractured. It is a
singular eiteumettanea that, although it is believed the
express train hail still an impetus on it of eight or ten nibs
an hour at the moment of the collision, the crrreage.,
were but slighly damaged. N s serious injury was dons to
the goods train, and the passengers having been properly
attended to came to town with the express, which did tot
reach Euston grove till 7 o'clt,olt, or three hours alter time.

FATAL OCCURRENCE AT THE TERMINUS,
RING'S CROBB.

On Saturday afternoon, an accident took place
at the present temporary terminus of the Great Northern
Railway, by which one unfortunate man has lost his life,
and three otter persons have been seriously lnjur,.d.
The Great Northern Company, in adJition to their exten-
sive coal depots at their present temt.orary terminus is
Maiden-lane, are constructing an icemen,* granary. This
building is situate on the southern side of the station, abut-
lag on a spacious deck, cora•rneted on the northern side of
the Regent's Canal, and immediately (acing the dock and
works belonging to the ImperisltheCompany. From this kelt
there exist two cuttingior creeks, running into the granary,
constructed for the purpose of ensbliog barges to run in and
receive the grain under cover of the building itself, and to
f►cilitate the loading and unloading of geode. In this build-
ing a large number of workmen in the employ of Mr. Jay,
the contractor, were at work in various departments, and in
the creek on the eastern side of the granary, into which the
Water has already been admitted, were employed a number
of carpenters, sawyers, &e., the letter, it is stated, working on
a kind of flowing saw pit.
At the time abovementioned, some workmen were em-
ploy ed in railing an iris girder to one of the upeer fl toeing.,
by means of what is termed on board of ship and dockyards,
sheen." This girder, it is stated, was in weight from five
to six tons, and the m•n had raised it to the lourth story,
when suddenly one of the " sheer legs" broke, and the
ponderous masa fell with a frightful crash, crushing every-
thing in its progress downward to the creek described. atme
idea may be formed of the immense weight which fell, when
it is stated that two large logs of timber placed across the
creek ass protection to the saw-pit were completely snapped
asunder.

The frightful crash which the falling anus created attracted
the attention of every one within and many without the
building, and on reaching the creek several poor fellows were
seen flatting about in the muddy water below, clinging to
the mamas of floating timber which had been carried into it.
From the difficulty to get at them, upwerds of a quarter of
an hour elapsed before any one could be rescued, and when
they were got out it was found by Mr. Thompson' surgeon,
of York•row, Maiden-lane, who was at cnee sent for, that
two of the men, named Green and Rolfe, were so seriously
injured, that immeuiate removal to University College Hos-
pital was necessary. They were without delay conveyed to
the hoepital OD abutters, where it was ascertained that the
poor fellow Green had both his ancles broken, and hie com-
panion had sustained very dreadful internal iojurits. A
third was conveyed to his own residence.
Some time having elapsed, it wee deemed advisable by the
foreman of the works to call a muster of the men, and a
young man named Jams Kendal, a carpenter, was found
to be missing. Drags were procured, and after dragging for
about an hour the body of the young man in question was
found embedded in the mud; and on being got out, it was
discovered he had a frightful lacerated wound over the left
eye and temple ; and es the poor fellow Kendal was a car.
tenter, and was known to have been working on ore of the
upper floors of the granary, it is believed that he most either
have been standing on some of the planks which the girder
struck at the time it fill, or tnat the girder itself must have
inrush him in its descent. The body of this young mar, who
is stated to be not more than 19 years of age, was at once re- I
moved to the City of York Tavern, where it awaits a ,
coroner's inquest.
A rumour for some tints prevailed that others of the men
were sluing, but although the men dragged for a consider-
able time after the body of Kendal was round they were not
successful, and when our reporter left the Northern Railway I
it hsel been positively ascertained that the foregoing was the i
extent of the calamity.
No reason can be assigned for the breaking of the "sheer
leg," as it was pronounced sound timber; but upon that
paha It will no doubt be the province of practical men to de- I
cide and give evidence before the coroner's jury.
The young man Kendal is unmarried, bet it is stated that
the other unfortunate men, Ore. n and Rolfe, have large fa•
moles dependent entirely upon their labour.
It is feared that there is little hepe of Green recoveriog
the severe injuries he has received. The upper dorsal Ter.
t,ti:lr are fractured se well as several of the ribs on both
'idea, the small bonito( the leg is broken, sod the foot dill's.
cs•cd. Rolfe 's injuries are also very serimp,but they are
internal, and cannot yet be ascertained with accuracy.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THIS DAY.

The January session of the above court commenced this
morning nature the Right Hon. the Lend Mayor, the Re.
c rder, Common S rj•rant, Mr. Alderman Gib-a, Mr.
Alderman Banter, Mr. Alderman Lawrence ; the Sheriffs,
Coder-Sheriffs. &c.

There were 108 primers for trial at the present session.
The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, said that
although a very Dhoti interval had elapsed since the terrri-
station of the last session, he regretted to'see that there were
a considerable number of prisoners committed for trial ; but,
at the some time, it wit a matter of congratulation that the
calendar did not contain any cases, with one or two excep-
tions, to which he should further allude, of atrocity or
violence, and there was not a single cheep of murder for
trial upon the present occasion. There were, as usual, acor-
siderable number of cases which were ksown to the bar by
the name ot larceny, and which involved theft from the
person and other thefts of ordinary character; but
he observed at the same time that there were rather le s :has
the usual number of thefts by servants. It wan not usual or
him to enter into any general observations upon cases that
were brout.ht to their notice in this court; but, as some
observations he bed made with regard tothis clue of offerers
appeared to have been very much misunderstood, he thought
it right to repeat what he had stated on a Linnet occasion
that the observations be bad trade did not apply to the
cues of cooks and domestic servants, who were in
g a I very comfortably provided for, but to the eases
of naivetes', clerks, and persons in that situation, many of
whom, it had bean brought to his knowledge, received very
inadequate remuneration for their services, and conse-
quently were liable to a great deal of temptation where they
bad to receive money on behalf of their employers. What
he had said, therefore, well, that perscns se situated were
necessarily exposed to a great deal of temptation; but he
never for a moment intended it should be understood that
the feet of low wages being given offered any encase for the
crimes; and, on the contrary, the offence of robbery by servants
was always dealt with more severely then any other ordinary
larceny. His lordship having referred to two charges of
manslaughter, in which he said the principal question the
grand jury would have to consider wag the cause of death,
he said that there was only one case remaining to which he
should consider it cemetery to direct their attention. This
was a charge against two persons, of rather a superior con-
ditiou of lite, named Sloane, who were charged with cruel
treatment and with amanita upon a young woman in their
torvice. This case, from the circumstances connected with
it, had created a great deal of public attention, and the
details that bad appeared had been the means of
creating very much indignation in the public mind.
It was his duty, however, to tell them that, in the
position in which they were now placed, they ought not
to give any effect to the prejudice which such
a charge must necessarily create, and that by the English
law every man was entitled to a fair trial before be could he
considered guilty of say offence alleged against him. lie
did not know wanly in what form the chores would be pre-
ferred, but he apprehended that the parties would be charged
in the first instance with having neglected to perform the
duty which devolved upon them, under the circumstances,
to p-ovide proper food and necessaries for the person who
was in their service, and oleo with baling assaulted her upon
divers occasion,. The law upon the firs: part of the use
was perfectly clear, and it was undoub:edly the duty of
persona in the position of the detendana to provide sufficient
food and proper nourishment for a servant of tender yetis
who was under their confront end in their power;
and if death ensued from their neglecting to do ro, the case
would be one of murder or manslaughter, according to the
circumstance,. In this cue, hsptily, death had not been the
remit of the con :tact imputed to the defendants, but, al-
though this was the cue, yet the act of neglecting to provide
proper food and necessaries for a t so situated, was ,in
douttedly a misdemeanour at common law, and if the facts
should be made out to the satisfaction of the grand jury, it
ould be their duty to reurn a true bill for that offence. Io
some cases a difilwlty might ante on account of the accosed
parties standing in the relation of husband and wife, but it
appeared to him that in this ease that difficulty would
not apply, because it appeared in a great many ins•nnees
that the acts of violence imputed t. tne female defendant
were committed by her in the absence of her husband, and
when she could not., therefore, be considered under his
contronl. He should advise the grand jury, therefore, not to
trouble themselves with any consideration of the law ; bte, if
the fact should be established to their 'anorthic's, that they
ahouid find the bills, and thus put the matter in a train to
uhdergo full inquiry before the petty jury,
the grand jury then retired.
