ATTEMPTED SCICIDE IN A POLICE STATION. —funs
Mcrgan wee charged with being drank and with attempting
to poem herself at the police-station.
• Police-constable stated that on Saturday night the pri-
mmer was brought to the It rtherhithe polio-station for being
drunk and cresting a disturbance in the street. She wee
locked up in one of the cells at the rear of the police station,
and about en hour afterwards witness looked in the cell and
perceived her in the act of drinking something from a ohial.
Believing from its colour that it was p ,i'on, witness, before
she could drink any of the contents, seised the bottle, and
cared in the assistance of the inspector. The bottle con-
tained about an ounce of laudanum.
In defence, the prisoner said she had lived with a young
vasn or some time, and, because she could not obtain ma-
cleat food for their Sunday's dinner, on Saturday night he
ill-used her In such a cruel manner that she ran out of the
house when the I.o:iceman seized her and took her into
cuatody.
Mr. A'Beckttt told her she must find bail for her future
good conduct. He mired why she was not searched before
being placed In the cell, us the poison would hue bten found
on her.
Serjeant Baker informed the magistrate that drunken
persons were not searched when there wen no other charge
against them.

Last night, in the second chamber, a debate took
place on the report of the committee with respect to
the province of Posen. The committee moved that
the part of the dn:hy of Posen lying outside the
Germanic confederation should be incorporated
therein, under the condition that first the province
of Posen as a whole should be dissolved and annexed
to the three conterminous provinces of Prussia, Bran-
denburg, and Silesia. The ministerial proposition
that Posen should be ineerporated with the Germanic
confederation was passed. Manteuffel said that the
object was to remove the obstacle which that article
of the German constitution of '26th May, excluding
from the German empire all countries not German,
set in the way of annexing Posen to the Bundes-steat.
Yet it is not easy to see how • Pole can become a
German by teing adopted into the Germanic confede-
ration, supposing even the Prussian parliament had
the power of effecting such an adoption, which they
have not, as a decree of the central federal commis-
sion will be necessary. Prussia has already succeeded
in destroying the preponderance of Austria in the
confederation by promring the admission of her
Prussian provinces, and the German part of Posen.
This is another step in the same direction. Austria
might, with equal justice, demand the admission of
Bohemia into the Germanic confederation.

With regard to the suit against Mr. Hudson, it war making
progress in Chancery, and the question had bean put why
the iinoton should not accept • certain sum down, or refer
the case to arbitration. In his opinion, be had no hesitation
in saying that, as long as they sonsidered the direction able
to map their affairs, they ought to allow this matter to
remain in their lands. This was •as which was a demand
for restitution, and not a case for arbitration. He had

of which appeared in the Express of the 27th inst.
The engineer's report not having been printed, owing, u
the chairman stated, to an unforeseen emerseney, wee read
in manuscript. Its contents were substantially embraced in
the chairmen', opening speech.
The CHAIRMAN, in recommending that the report should
be adopted, printed, and circulated among the proprietors,
took the oppmunity of stating that the trade on that por-
tion of the line already opened was double what they had
anticipated. (Hear, hear.) The whole of the arrangements
for working the line were at the discretion of the Great
Western Company, bat it was contemplated to put • goods
train on the Ike some time In the month of September, and
preparations were now beirg made accordingly. It wasclear,
from the decides arrived at by the Great Western Company,
that ao moistensr in prosecuting the line was to be imputed
from them ; the shareholders mus., therefore, make up their
minds to prosecute it without that assistance. AU that re-
mained war for them to carry oat their obligations towards

VICTORIA, Dec. 29.
In the early part of the month it was currently re-
portcl that Shaping-taai was again at the head of a
formidable fleet ; but—though it is trite possible that
such is the fact—the rumour has not been confirmed,
nor was it thought advisable to send another force
against him until authentic intelligence was received.
In the meantime cases of piracy are almost of weekly
occurrence in this harbour; and in the town robberies

providing for them out of tneir own funds, has been discon-
tinued, them being now scarcely one remaining, and the
only persons to be found here, having other sufficient means
ailing, are certain. half-pay officers, and these are but few
in number. The master's Wary has been increased with the

brought against an attorney, named Callaghan, who,
it was alleged, had procured the appointment of his

stated in the charges against him, that he was in the
habit of dressing out his servant in his own clothes,
when it was steepest', to bring him forward in the
master's office, and that he took a small h lase in the
outskirts of Dublin as an ostensible residence far the
