fithenpflog, nomPremier of Electoral Huse, hoe b-en tried
and found guilty of embeultement and forgery; the following
are some of the particulars as they appear is the set cot accu-
sation. In the autumn of 1846, • prison by ume Reich
undertook from the government of Besthoud • contract for
the repair of the CoartMoase of that city at the
sum of 604 dollars. This sum was paid, by Di -
umber of the same year, by the went of Vie Royal
treasury into the hands of 111. Hassenpfiag, who occupied a
part of the building ander repair as an oaciskretidenee,
betas in the service of the government; the mow, was for
the payment of the contractor, and mknowl,dged by von
Hasunpflug is a receipt. Oa the 22nd January, 1847, the
accused took the repairs off the bands of !Leith, paid him out
of the money in band 401 dollars for the work already ex-
ecuted, and Induced the contractor to give a receipt for the
whole sum of 604 dollars. Von Hassespfiveg then carried
out the works at his own risk and brought the expenditure to
an exam of 7 dollars over toe sum received. In the following
year fresh »pain ware contracted for at • fired sum, and
Hamenpflug again intervened between the contractor and the
treasury, took the work into hi, own hands and induced the
tradesman to give him a receipt for the stipulated sum: the !at-
ter declares that he received any money oaths occasion.
The minute details of these transactions were carefully in-
vestigated by the court at 0 rieswold. and the result, as has been
stated, is the condemnation of M. Ressenpfiug to 14 days! im-
prisonment, restitution of the embezzled sum and payment
auto costa of this process. The consul for the defence did
not attempt to deny the crime, but dwelt upon certain ex-
tenuating circamstamme.

porta of Cardiff and Newport, the chief outlets (or these
collieries, numerous vessels which have put in for cargoes
having oiled out empty. A comparison atlas present rate
of wages with the price of cosl and the cooperate price of
coal and labour some years ago, show. that the colliers have
little reason to coniplaio. In AprillB44, the price of cool was
6.1. per too, and up to the end of last 'ear it was raised to

Mali. GLOVER'S BENEFIT.—The claims of this lady
upon the consideration of this play-going public hays bean
thus urged by the committee who arearranging the forth-
coming benefit : " Mrs. Glover has for sixty-four years been
a member of the theatrical prate...ion • of that time fifty.
three years have been eevoted to the London stem. Through-
out her whoa career she has occupied a dietiegnished place
in the foremost rank (genius. Bhe hes devoted her earnings
to the support of five generations • her grandfather. her pa-
rents, her husband, her ehildree, and grandchildren have
eneonnively been mainly dependent upon her exertions. The
object of the proposed beatilt is, in the first plies, to offer a
testimony of public respect to merit so rare : and, in the
second place, to moors the means of rendering comfortable
the nosabling year. of a life worn by long toil, and already
beginning to sink under the effects of` natural desay."
