The Great Polish Trial at Berlin,

It will be remembered that in the early part of last year
a large number of Poles, many of them particularly die'
tinguished by their talents, patriotism, or high station,
was arrested in Posen by the Prussian authorities on the
charge of having participated in the insurrection in Russian'
Poland, and were taken to the Hansvogter prison in Berlin,
where they have been confined ever since. These gentle-
men, nearly 200 in number, are all Prussian subjects, and
although accused of no offence against their own Govern-
ment, are now being prosecuted at Berlin on a charge of
high treason, for having assisted their fellow.countrywe°
in Russian-Poland in their insurrection against the CMS'
Great preparations have been made for this trial, which 1°
so interesting both in a legal and political point of vied?
and both the Poles and the Government have spared no
effort to secure the triumph of their own side. The
proceedings were commenced with great ceremony on
the 7th of this month. Nearly all the prisoners were pre-
sent, together with their counsel, Messrs Janecki, Lisiechir
Brachoogel, Deycks, Holthoff, Elven, Lent, Lewald, and
Gneist. The prosecution is conducted by Messrs Adlung
and Mittelstaedt. The president of the tribunal (M. Buell'
termann) opened the trial by briefly announcing that, be
sides the 10 judges who legally constitute the tribunal, five
more had been appointed to act in the place of the ordinary
judges should it be necessary. He then read the names of
11 gentlemen who had given themselves up to be tried b 1
the Prussian authorities, and also of those who had sent
in certificates of sickness to account for their absence'
Fourteen of the accused were found to be missing.
Lisiecki then asked that his client, Dr. Niklewski, whose
illness was evident to all, might be relieved from the obit/
of being present while the trial was going on. After
some discussion, in which the Crown prosecutor stated
that if any of the accused absented themselves they
could not be included among those now under trial, 018
tribunal gave the required permission. Each prisoner WO
next called upon to name his counsel, after which the
president announced the programme of the proceedinge•
The judges are to sit only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednee
days, and Thursdays, between the hours of nine and three,
with half an hour's interval of rest between 11 and 12. The
trial is to be conducted in the Polish and German language,
and all the prisoners are to be present every day for cross"
examination, The only prisoner who elected to act as his
own counsel was Dr Henry Schumann, of Posen. Tiles:
preliminaries having been settled, M. Holthoff propose('
that the tribunal should authorise M. Sosnowski and Dr
Cybulski to be translators for the defence. This propos&
gave rise to a hot discussion between the counsel on both
sides, the prosecutor declaring that the official translator°
of the court were quite sufficient. The judges decided, bout'
ever, that the gentlemen in question should be summoned
to act as translators, with the proviso that their services
shoule only be called in requisition when they way be found
necessary, The proceedings closed with a motion from tile
counsel for the prosecution, that those of the accused Wh°
were not present should be tried in their absence, on which
point the tribunal reserved its judgment.
The next sitting takes place on the Bth inst. The Polish
press, which is of course most interested in the trial, We
been refused permission to send its reporters to the court.

A private
the
name of the any was established in 1857, under the
(Limi ed), . Iludiksvall Steam Sawing Mill Company
taking isor the purchase of forests in Sweden, and the
the grants or leases or other title to such forests, with.
etrig' it of selling the same ; the completion of water corn-
P'-catisns for floating timber from the forests to Forssa,
411 a 's thence to Hudiksvall : erecting steam and water sawing
for converting the timber into deals, and the saleof such
deals at Hudiksvall, or the consignment of them tor sale to
London or other places.
The present Company is formed for the purpose of extend-
ing the operations of the above-mentioned Hudiksvall Steam
Steam
Sawing Mill Company, the shareholders in the Hudiksvall
Sawing Milt Company being willing to take payment
for the whole of the capital invested by them in paid-up
Shires of the new Company.
Considerable and valuable forests in the parish of Lillherr-
fiat in the vicinity of the Herje and Ljusse rivers, in the pro-
vince of Jemptland, also in Farila, have been secured upon
leases for 50 years, renewable every 10 years during the term
of 50 years, without fine to the 'essors. These forests, cover-
ing between 300 and 40i English square miles, or 200,000 to
250,000 acres, are, from lie general advance in the value of
forests, supposed to be of much greater value now than they
were t the time of the purchase. About £7,, 00 have been
expended in making dams, and clearing the streams in the
forests, in order to iacilitate the floating of the timber to the
river Ljusne ; and about £31,000 in establishing a water com-
munication between Swinhammer, on the river Ljusne, and
the Mill at Forssa, including about £5,000 paid as an equi-
valent for a ab are in the existing floating arrangements in the
river Ljusne, thereby acquiring the right of ft atting free of
dues for ever. The water communications between Swin-
hammer and the Mill have been most substantially con-
structed, under the direction of Commissioners appointed by
the Swedish Government, and consist of ducts and canals—
one of which has been cut through the solid rock—and in-
cludes a hauling bed, worked by a steam engine, for the pur-
pose of raisit g the floating logs to a higher level, about 40
feet, from which point there is a fall gained of upwards of 340
feet, extending over this line of water communication, with an
ample supply of water all the year round. These works have
cost a large sum of money beyond the original estimate, be-
cause
upon a much larger scale, in order to make them available for
the public in general, This additional outlay, however. has
already begun to bear good fruits, since a profit has been
cleared during the last year by floating timber for other par-
ties, which mince of revenue is likely still further to reduce
the doting expenses. About £22,703 have been expended
on the steam sawing-mill and engines, with workshop com-
plete, which are of the best English workmanship, in excel-
lent condition, and capable of sawing about 1,000 logs per
day, thus showing the magnitude of the works. £3,60 have
'been expended at Forssa, Lillherrdal, and other places, for
labourers' dwellings and storehouses ; they are all substan-
tially built, and and freehold property, as well as the saw
mill, the entire line of water communication between Swin-
hammer and k'orssa the deal yards at Forssa, sundry farms,
and the shipping wharf in the por of Hudiksvall. The deals
are brought by railway, about eight miles, to Hudiksvall,
one of the best natural ports in Sweden.
From various causes the arrangements were not completed
before the year 1862, and thus the year 1863 is, in fact, the
year in which the capabilities of the works have been tested,
and upwards of 0,000 standards of deals, of shipping quality,
were actually produced and sold, the quality being generally
approved of in the London markets and available,
which order to make all the capacities of the works available,
which are, without any further outlay for plant and ma-
chinery, equal to the production of 8,000 standards of deals of
shipping quality per annum, it is intended to create 3,200
shares of £5O each, 1,500 of which will be taken by the share-
holders of the Hudiksvall Steam Sawing-mill Company, who
are willing to take payment for the whole amount invested
by them in paid-up shares. The remaining 1,700 shares are
now offered to the public. If the capital of the Company is
extended to £200,000, it would be for the purpose of increas-
ing the operations of the Company, which is not by any means
improbable.
The total assets of the old Company on the Ist January of
this year amounted to £137,060 19s. ad. These assets com-
prise £1,500 still to be paid in three instalments for the lease
of the Lillherdal Forests, and also include about £33,000
for deals sold for early delivery and about 150,030 logs at
the mill and floating; there are also sundry other good out-
standing debts.
In order to secure to the Hudiksvall and Forssa Company
the who e profits of the current year, it is proposed that all
the properties as above, and assets of the Hudiksvall Com-
pany should be takttn by the Hudiksvall and Forssa Com-
pany, for the sum of £158,500 ; and that all moneys expenders
Since the Ist January of this year, including interest and
commission on the capital employed, be considered as ex-
pended by and for the benefit and at the cost of the Hudiks-
vall and Forssa Company.
The calcu ations based upon the actual experience of the
laat year, show a profit of 8 per cent. upon the extended
