THE POLICE COUBTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

ALLEGED EXTRAOIWINAItIf EFFECTS OP CHLOROFORM,
—Margaret Higgins and Elizabeth Smith were finally ex-
amined, charged with bawiog been concerned in administer-
log chloroform to Mr. F. H. Dewitt, • solicitor, in Lime-
street, City, and Weatham, in Essex, and subsequently rob-
bing him of his watch, finger ring, personal clothing, and
various other articles.
The prosecutor, who was tmoble to attend when the cue
was last before the magistrate, was now supported into court
and accommodated with a seat in the counsel's box while his
evidence was reed over.
Mr. Christopher Lebich, a surgeon, at Westbam, stated
that on the afternoon of the I Ith inst. he was summoned to
attend the prosecutor, who was suffering from extreme ner-
vous prostration and complained of severe pains in the head
and other sensations, which satisfied him that chloroform had
recently been administered to him. He also observed that
the pupils of his eyes were greatly contracted, from which
symptom, coupled with the confused state of hie ideas, he
was decidedly of opinion that he was also labouring under
the edicts of some powerful narcotic, which had been taken
internally after the application of the chloroform. The
prom cutor's debility was so t :rendre that it was not till the
preceding afternoon that, for the first time since the previossa
hearing, he was even capable of leaving his bed.
The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for trial.

ROME. JAW. 21.

Intelligence of the escape of Dr. Achilli has et
course reached you. The repart at present cnrrl
here is, that he had been taken from his place of DM-
iinement by the French authorities, to serve as a wit-
ness in the proceedings of the ooart-martial now sit-
ting upon the case of Cernuechi, at the Collegio Eta-
clesiastico, in the Piazza della Minerva, and that
during the transit the doctor was suddenly found to
be wanting. I will not enter into any examination
of the probabilities or improbabilities of this tale at
present. All we know at Rome is, that Dr. Acbilli
non est inventors, and that the ill humour of the trim-
virate of cardinals at having their despatches plun-
dered, and their secret instructions made known, will
be is se mall degree increased by the circumstance
et • se-eft-disputed victim having escaped from the
miens, of the Inquisition.
SARDINIA.—In its sitting of the 26th ult., the
Senate of Turin passed the bill for authorising go-
mesment to collect the taxes for 1849. The Chamber
of Demr lee, in its sitting of the 26th, passed the bill
tor the emission of four millions of Testes by 113
votes to 31.
The Dorm/mile states that the diplomatic mistime
between Ramie sad Sardinia, which were broken of Ow
the commesement of the hostilities by Charles Albert, have
not yet bees renewed. The Emperor of Russia has Ms-
tinctly declared that he will not enter into connezion with
the court of Sardinia till King Victor Emanuel shall have
removed General Chtssnowski from the rank of the Pied-
'Bootees army, and cosarcanded him to quit the Sardinian
States.

SlClLY.—Letters from Sicily mention that a royal
decree has ordered that the export gray upon sul-
phur of October, 1842, shall be again levied. This
was the decree which led to the demonstration against
Naples in that year by the English squadron. Sicily
is in a wretched state ; arrests are made for the most
trifling cause, or on mere suspicion. Commerce is at
a stand, consequent upon the sanitary r.gulations.
His Majesty of Naples has indeed succeeded In "hum-
bling them to the dust," as he said he would. A
vessel, which came in yesterday from Messina, re-
ported that some outbreak had occurred at Palermo.

The few parcels of Boillish Wheat fresh up for this morn-
ings market, t +gether with those left ova unsold from the

NAVAL.

Pontrueowne, Jam 31.—The offieen sad crew of the
Harpy were paid off at nit port yesterday. The Raleigh is
nearly cleared of her Ivor's', and will be ready foe paying off
before Wednesday next, the day at present ordered. The
mode in which this fine feign* has been conducted since she
came into harbour to pay off is regarded as highly creditable
to her captain, and well worthy imitation. Instead of the
shie's decks being crowded by persons of all clawed and
characters, and the crew, by the introduction of ...wog," in
a .tae of disorder end confusion, not to use any stronger
words, not a stranger is allowed on board, by which means
eohriety, subordination, and discipline are maintained.
Measures like these are conducive to the health of the sea-
men, for the " swag," or spirits sold in skins, is a most
abominable ossepound of poisonous ingredients, and
also in a pecuniary view one of importance, es,
while steady and sober, the men do net enter into those
engagements which they are prone to when under the in.
fluence of the "swag" cad almost beggar themselves before
leaving the ship. Sub a plan might with advantage be di-
rected for adoption in all ships when paying off. The He-
cate, steam sloop, is come into harbour end ordered to refit
for foreign service, but she requires considerable repairs be•
fore she can proceed one voyue. India is mentioned as
her destination, but it is merely on dit.
The Sprightly, port steam tender, sells this evening for
Devooport with supernumeraries for ships at that port.
First Lieutenant Starr and six privates of the Royal blame
Artillery go by this vessel for a passage to the coast of
Africa in the Gladiator to join the Centaur, Commodore
Fusetiewe, to replace an officer and some men boat in en at-
tack on some barraccoae.

press stipulation of the treaty of Balla Limon, which
s lye that, after the pacification of Hungary, the fortes
on the side both of Turkey and Russia should be re-
duced to 1,000. Turkey, faithful to its word, has
withdrawn its troops; Russia reinforces the corps
already there.
The Journal d* Constantinople, of the 9th, states
that in consequence of the pace is turn the question of
the refugees had taken, the Sultan has disbanded
33,000 men. The British war steamer Odin arrived
at Constantinople on the 7th, with despatches for Sir
Stratford Canning. Colonel Fsrrant, charge d'af-
faires of H.B.M. at the court of Fermis, had arrived
at Constantinople on leave of absence, with hie fa-
mily, on his way to England. M. Bourree, consul-
general of France at Beyrout, has been named diplo-

BLOCKADE OF THE PIRMUS
BY ADMIRAL PARKER.

A letter from Athens, of the 19th (sent by oar
Malta correspondent), states that, " Immediately ice-
Admiral Parker received pratigsie he demanded from
the Greek government the payment, within twenty-
four hours, of all monies due to British, or pro-
tected British subject', from Greece ; also,
that the Islands of tiapiontia and Cabrera,
off the south-west side of the Mores, and
which form a part of the lonian 14es, should be im-
mediately given up to him, threatening in the event
of refusal, to blockade the Pirmas, and make reprisals.
The sensation this mange occasioned cannot
be described. King Otho, however, refused it in
iota. and Admiral Parker has consequently
taken possession of the men-of-war in the
Pitons, and blockaded the wait. It was re-
ported that the admiral had declared war against
Greece, but I should think the reprisals are so consi-
dered. Also that a mob at the Pirrone had burnt
down the English cot eel's house. Here in
Athens, we English are not a little alarmed.
There is a council of ministers now Bit-
ting. Those of Russia and Austria are
also closetted. The English fleet consists of the
Queen, 110 guns ; Caledonia, 120 ; Howe, 120 ;
Ganges, 84; Powerful, 84 ; Vengeance, 84 ; Bellero-
phon, 78. Steam frigates : Dragon, Odin, Firebrand,
Rosamond, Bulldog, and Spiteful. Some of these are
at Salamis, some in the Pawns, and some cruising.
I will write to yon again to-morrow, ri4 Patras, by
the Corfu steamer, and give farther particulars."

limak Ma. Commenoxim FAIM

RvLE (II THE ADMIRALTY AS TO 1;4;0-ZVI= CLIMES.

Mr. S.urgeon made an application, in the ease of Charles
Williams, an insolvent, late a clerk in the General Registra-
tion Office tor Seamen, in Lower Thameextreet, under the
direction of the A Imiralty, for renewed protection, or for a
day to he named fur the final order. The insolvent had
ur.dertsken, in 1847, on the hearing of his ewe, to put
aside a portion of hie salary as clerk for the payment of his
debts, about 3401. In November last, he was in attendance
all day at the tont, and, his absence being noticed at the
office, be was shortly afterwards dismissed, with the intima-
tion that parties would not be employed then whose ember-
easements prevented them attending to their duties.
Hie Honour said that was en excellent rule, tending to
make both the clerks and the tradesmen who su;plied them
with goods cautious.
Mr. Sturgeon said it would perhaps have been well
for this yonog man if the rule had existed earlier, as great
port of his debts were borrowed money, on which he had
',lid an exorbitant interest, and 801. was in respect of two
bills that had been stolen from hint, which he had discounted
and never got any value for. He had bean in ill-health, and
had suffered very considerably.
Ilia hmour and the rule at the Admiralty was a good one
if universally app:ied. No exception ought to ho made in
favour of public officers, who were as much bound to pay
their debts as anybody else.
The insolvent stated that, had he retained his situation,
he should have ►een able to pay all his debts in full. It was
the wish of the head of his department that he should not
have been discharged entirely, but removed to a lower grade.
He was now supported by his frsends,
His Honour thought the dismissal from his office was a
sufficient punishment for bit fault. He would now appoint
the let of Merck for the tined order, with protection in the
meantime.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

Intelligent* from Copenhagen walking the belief
that the Danes regard an attack upon Rendsburg ea
hopeless, and informs us that they are making pre-
parations for wintering in Schleswig. With this
view they have rendered impassable all the roads
leading from Holstein to Schleswig, by intersecting
them with trenches and tikes. Over the Schlei they
have thrown several bridges for artWery and infantry,
on each of which a trite de poet is coLstracted. The
bridges are likewies_proteeted by the gunboats which
lie in the river. That part of Schleswig which is
bounded by the Baltic, and two lines drawn from
Flensburg to the city of Schleswig and thence to
Eekernforde, may thus be considered the winter quar-
ters of the Danish army, should General William no:
give their affairs another direction.

MARS-LANE -THIS DAY.

The supplies of grain have been small during the week,
caused probably in a measure by the late boisterous state of
the weather, at the same time the demand for
all articles of our trade iris been limited in the
extreme. The few parcels of English Wheat on sale
were placed with difficulty at Monday' rates, and the value
of foreign remains nominally the same. Barley, Beans, and
Peas, it anything, were rather easier to purchase. Oats were
sold in retail quantities to needy buyers, at full prices.

BERLIN, FEB. 5.
The Second Chamber has to-day adopted the first
and second paragraphs of the law on impoi.te, substi-
tuting an income tax instead of the class taxes. Ten
of the Polish deputies bare resigned, not wishing to
take the oath to a constitution which they consider
dangerous to their nationality.

w FEB. 6, AT Noox.
The solemn ceremony of taking the oath is just
over.

Before taking the oath the King read a discourse,
in which, with great emotion, he alludrd to the events
of recent oc_orrence. In speakicg of the constitution,
he said that it had been much ameliorated by the co-
operation of the two chambers, and he tendered to
those bodies his most cordial thanks for their
good services. He also declared that he entertained
for his present ministry feelings of gratitude which
would only cease with his life.
The ceremony commenced at half•past eleven ;
the Upper Chamber has already taken the oath, and
the members of the Second Chamber are now being
sworn--Cukigne Gazette.

GERMANY.

Yesterday ranked Prussia 'lnseam theBERLIN constitutiooal
states of Europe. An event of such immense importance
dwarfs all retrospective criticism. Let there be only
good faith for the future, the tins of the past will be
forgotten. After all, the birth has been realised; let
us hope that it will live.
The great act is already oomph te : the swearing is
a mere ceremony. The oath has been already taken
through theroyal pledge to take it. No formula can add
to the solemnity of such a pledge. There will indeed
be a crowd on Wednesday, in the Knight's-hall of the '
Schloss. The members of both Chambers and the
royal princes will be there, all dressed in their finest
clothes. But the only meaning of the show is, that it
is the recognition of the cons.itution, a visible act of
the monarch, withessed by hundreds of persons, and
not a mere make-believe of the ministers.
In order to give you some idea of the enthusiasm
which this event excites, even among those who ex-
claimed most against the " propositions," I send you
an article out of the Constitutennnelle Zeitiitig, which
streams over with figurative expressions of joy :
The royal message of the 31st January is an event the
Importance of which is well understood by all true friends
of constitutional freedom. It declares the revision of the
constitution to be completed, accords the royal consent to the
alteration effected by the Chambers, sad fixes the 6th of
February for the solemn act of taking the 011ta which is to
put the lett seal of confirmation unon the new compact
between the crown and the people of Prussia. It is a joyful
promise, destroying with its sunny raja the last clouds of
car*, and which will bej responded to by a unanimous echo
of joy from the Rhine to the Niemen, from the Riesen
mountains to the Baltic.

Viebahn's amendment to propositinn 7, concerning
the finances, bas been adopted into the promulgated
constitution. This amendment proposed that the
First Chamber should accept the budget, or refuse
it en bloc.

The constitution having been at last settler!, the Er-
' fort elections constitute the topic next iu interest.
As I am anxious, at least in this one letter, to
abstain from opposition to the ministry under which
the strongest guarante,s have been given for the
constitutional existence of Prussia' I will forbear to
dwell upon the tactics which have been used through-
out this kingdom in order to secure a strong govern-
mental majority at Erfurt. I only hope these tactics
may not have contributed fuel to the revolution.
'Nearly everywhere the so-called c ,catitntional or
Gngern party has been thrown out. I have not heard
of its most illustrious members being elected for any
borough. Gagers in Berlin had one vote.
