PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 29.—T0-day being appointed for
the opening of the two Chambers here, the
King opened them in person in the White.
Salton of the Palace. Before eleven o'clock, the
time appointed for the ceremony of opening by
the King, the two galleries of the White S,tloon of
the Palace were filled, the one by the numerously
represented corps diplomatique, and the other with
the wives or families of the members of the two
houses and a numerous attendance of everybody of
note or eminence.

A few minutes after 11 o'clock the King entered
the saloon, the President of the Council having
just previously left the Assembly as though to
fetch him. The Ministers w..re already stationed
in a line to the left of the Throne ; the Princes
and Adjutants who followed in his Majesty's
suite occupied the chairs (or rather stood iu
front of them) to the right of it. The King en-
tered the saloon in full general's uniform, and car-
rying his helmet in his hand, which he waved to
and fro in acknowledgment of the " Es lebe der
Konig hod!, !" which was given in a poor imitation of
our three times three. After mounting the throne,
the King received the written speech at the hands
of the President of the Council, Baron von Manteuf-
fel, and read it in a distinct but somewhat thin
voice, after having first put his helmet on his head.
It was perhaps owing to the presence on this occa-
sion "of men who have themselves formerly been
Sovereign Princes and of others whose fathers
were so that the King to-day did not first seat him-
self on his throne before commencing to read his
speech, and evidently it was in reference to those
gentlemen that the speech itself, instead of com-
mencing with " Gentlemen," began as follows—
" Illustrious, noble, and dear Sirs of the two
Houses of the Diet."

On Saturday, Mr. Baker, the coroner, opened an in-
quest at the Princess Alice, Murray-street, Hoxton, re
specting the death of George James M`Neill, aged 4
years, and Elwin M`Neill, about 3 years old.
Henry Charles Pickering, who was examined at the
Worship•street Police cuutt before Mr. Hammiil, was
the first witness. He repeated the evidence he gave
before the magistrate. He added that the razor with
which the poor children's throats were cut was his pro-
perty, and that it had been t liken oat of a box which
was locked.
E

eanor Pickering, wife of the last witness, said that
she had resided in the house above a twelvemonth. Dur-
ing the whole time the accused bad been subject to mel-
aucholy, which had come upon her after the birth of her
last chiid. Witness always understood that she was
married, and that a gentleman, by whom she was con-
stantly visited, and who went by her name, was her hus-
band. It was only in consequence of a oonversatioa
with her washeerwoman she ascertained that she was not
married.
Coroner—Are you aware who is the gentleman by
whom she was visited ?
Inspector Hutton, N division, said that it was a Mr.
James Williams, and that he was at the police-station,
Robert-street, on Friday evening. The accused was
formerly a servant to Mr. Williams.
Evidence was then gone into, corroborative of that
given by Mr. Pickering as to the discovery of the body
and the cash-box, which was found upon the stairs.
The inspector produced the cash-box, in which were
six sovereigns, four silver table-spoons, two dessert ditto,
six silver tea-spoons, forks, &c., a quantity of memoianda
arid letters.
The inquiry was then adjourned till this day, and
Mr. William was directed to be summoned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

GUILDHALL.

WIFE BEATING.—A man, named Beaumont, was
charged before Alderman Finnis with the following
brutal aspault on his wife.

Sarah Beaumont deposed that she was the wife of the
prisoner, and resided with him at 22, Little Britain.
She had been married to him 19 years, and had had
separate maintenance for the last nine years, in conse-
quence of the prisoner leaving her. She had returned
to him about three months. Last evening the
prisoner, who was sober, struck her a violent
blow on the eye, which blackened it, in conse-
quence of his imagining she was conversing in the
kitchen with a man. He then went out, and returned
between 12 and 1 o'clock drunk, and attempted to strike
her with his boot, which she had offered to assist him
to take off, but she evaded the blow. He went to bed,
and asked her to do so, but she refused, saying she was
afraid of him. He promised her if she came to bed he
would not touch her. She went to bed, but shortly
after he seized her by the hair of the head, and
shook her head on the pillow. She got out of
bed and he followed her, swearing he would knock her
teeth oat, at the same time giving her a blow in the
mouth, which knocked out four of her teeth. She was
in danger of her life when her husband was in liquor.
This was the first time he had assaulted her.

The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done.
It would not have occurred had not be and his wife been
drinking, and she having irritated him, Ile called his
brother as a witness to prove that in the middle of the
day his wife used irritating language to him, and
appeared as if she had been drinking.
.

Alderman Finnis said he should like to have some fur-
ther information as to the character of both parties, and
adjourned the case till to-morrow. It was a serious case
knocking out four teeth.

The prisoner said he did not strike his wife violently.
In consequence of her having had a foyer he could take
her teeth out with his finger and thumb, without pain
or difficulty.
The prisoner was remanded.

SWEDEN.

In Sweden the question of the 'Western alliance
becomes every day more and more canvassed.
Since last year the journals have asked whether
Sweden was to unite herself to the INTe4 ; what was
the most opportune moment for doing so ; and what
would be the position of Finland if t,a.ken away from
Russia. These questions have been _lately treated
at length in a pamphlet recently published at
Stockholm, and entitled "The policy of Sweden in
the war of the Western Powers with Russia, and
the question of the constitution of nnland, in a
distinct state." The conclusions come to in this
pamphletare thefollowing:—"The policy: of Sweden
cannot differ from that of Europe, that is to say it
must tend to form a counterpoise to Ruilsia: This
cannot take place except the three Scandinavian
states—Sweden, Norway, and Denmark— -aze united
together under the same Government and form one
single State, preserving their distinct constatutions.
Sweden cannot take part against Russia umless she
can look forward to the formation of a union of the
North, guaranteed by the Western Powers,"

MARYLEBONE.

DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—
J. Corntet, a female, well known for her intemperate
habits, was brought before Mr. Long, charged with the
following desperate and outrageous conduct, at the
Shepherd and Flock, High•street, Marylebone.
Mr. John Cottrell, licensed victualler, and the pro-
prietor of the Shepherd and Flock, said that the previ-
ous evening the prisoner, who was known to him many
years, came and wished to have something to drink.
He had directed her never to make her appearance at
his house, and he refused to serve her.
Mr. Long—That was owing to her bad conduct !
Mr. Cottrell—Yes, sir, and he ordered her to leave.
She came again into the housa, when he turned her out,
with the assistance of his barman and another person.
She then became very violent, and with a stone smashed
a pane of glass, which cost about 51. He laid hold of
her, but she got away. He followed her, and it was
with great difficulty that he was able to prevent her
from doing him a serious injury.
Mr. Long—Did she strike you !
Mr. Cottrell—Repeatedly, sir. She tried to bite me,
and other persons who were assisting me.
Berridge, D 38, sergeant of police, said that when he
had hold of the prisoner she made a desperate struggle
to get away. She threw herself on the ground and
scratched his face. Had it not been for his coat she
would have done him a serious injury-
The prison* was fined 51. for breaking the glass, or
one month in default of payment ; 205., or in default 14
days, for the assault on Mr. Cottrell ; and 10s., or seven
days, for the assault on the policeman.
JUVENILE THIEVES.—Four children, two boys and
two girls, were charged with stealing 421bs. of bolts,
the property of the Great Western Railway. Neither
of the prisoners was above 13 years of age.
Mr. Herring, instructed by Messrs. Maples and Pierce,
appeared to support the charge, and Mr. J. Collard, the
active superintendent of the company, also attended to
watch the proceedings.
Mr. Herring stated that the company were building
an iron bridge near Kensal Green, and that adjoining
there was a heap of bolts intended for the construction of
the bridge. The company have lost a large number of
bolts ; in consequence of which a watch was placed over
the property. It was subsequently discovered that the
prisoners had left a qtraotity of bolts at a marine-store
dealer's, opposite the Royal Sawn Tavern, Alfred road,
Paddington. Upon Mr. Collard going there he heard
that about 40Ib. of bolts had been purchased by the per-
son who occupied the shop. There was no desire on the
part of the company to proceed against the prisoners, as
they felt that they would not have stolen the property
but for the facility afforded by the marine-store dealer
to dispose of them.
After hearing much evidence the prisoners were dis-
charged, and a summons was ordered to be issued against
the marine store dealer, whose name is Meekes, for the
unlawful possession thereof.

TEE BELGIAN GOVERNMENT ON THE
SCARCITY.

The Belgian Moniteur publishes the following
report, addressed to the King, under the date of
Oct. 25, by the Minister of the Interior :
" Sire,—When the price of provisions is high, the
people regret to see them turned aside from their natural
destination, and always seek the intervention of govern-
ment to prevent manufactures absorbing articles which
are necessary f r public sustenance. Thus, at this time,
there are demands from all Tides that the manufacture of
starch should be limiter?, without considering that such
a measure would immediately injure the various work-
men who live by working at industrial occupations in
which the use of starchy matters is indispensable. Your
Majesty is aware that corn and potato starch are neces-
sary manufactures, whether as the basis of glue, for
preparation in
parationofpaper, the stiffening of cloth, &c., and
uone would contemplate putting serious ob-
staclessrey no
lin the way of important fabrics by which t hou•
sands of workmen live.
6' All that can legitimately be done is to encourage to
the utmost every effort to replace by other substa aces
the feculant matters which are now used in manufac-
tures. Experiments have been made with that vlew,
and, if I have been well informed, in some cases not
without success.

,‘ Everything seems to promise that well-condtnted
investigations will be able to point out some non-alimen-
tary substance, which may
be advantageously substi-
toted for starch. I believe, Sire, that it will be useful
to encourage such researches, and I therefore have the
honour of proposing to your Majesty to offer a reward
of 10,000 francs to any inventor who may find means of
attaining the above results.
" P. BEDECKER, Minister of the Interior."
This report is followed by a royal decree of the same
date, which authorises the Minister of the Interior to
dispose of a sum of 10,000 francs, to be taken from the
funds allotted to the home budget f6r the encouragement
of industry, for the purpose of instituting a prize for the
discovery of a non-alimentary substance to replace the
use of starch in industrial occupations in which the lat-
ter is at present employed.
Another royal decree, of the 25th October, prohibits
the export of buckwheat,

THE NEW COMMANDER IN THE

CRIMEA.

Lieutenant-General Sir William Codrington has been
appointed to the command of the British army in the
Crimea.
The career of this officer since the breaking out of the
war affords a remarkable instance of rapid promotion.
General Codrington embarked at Southampton with hie
corps on the 22d of February, 1854, as acting major of
his battalion, with the rank of colonel in the army. In
this capacity he served until the brevet of the 20th Of
June, 1854, made him a major-general, Which
promo-
tion, by the rules of the service, deprived him
of active
duty. Unwilling to retire from the service of his
Major-General Codrington applied to Lord
_lt n for
a country
employment on the staff ; and upon Lord De R
glaes re-
signing the Quartermaster-Generalship of the
appointment of Brigadier-General A' army, the
sor left a vacancy in the Ist Brigade irey as his
Divi-
sion,succes-
which was conferred on Ma of the Light
The gallant officer continued t jor•General Codrngton.
until General Sir George Brown o command this brigade
ness to go on board ship, when was compelled by ill-
of the division devolved .the temporary command
upon him •
Brown returning home, ' , and upon Si, George
finally appointed to Major-General Codrington was
command this division.
The gallant general now succeeds to the oocomand of
the whole army in the Crimea,
over the heads of kir of
his senior officers oA the same tlelsi of segos.
