THE PRUSSIAN PRESS.

The following is the order concerning the prohi-
bition of newspapers and perodicals on the let June,
1863 :

" We, William, by the Grace of God King of
Prussia, &c., on the report of our Ministers, and on
the grounds of Art. 63 of the Constitution of the
31st Jan., 1850, decree what follows :
" Art, 1. The governing authorities are em-
powered, temporarily or permanently, to prohibit
the further appearance of any journal or periodical
on account of a persistent attitude (tone or ten-
dency) dangerous to the public welfare. Such en-
ding

tents, given occasion for criminal prosecution, but
also when the general tendency of the paper betrays
the endeavour :—to undermine respect and fidelity tO
the King; to endanger public tranquillity by Wl'
rating the subjects of the States against each other
to hold up to hatred or contempt the institutions of
the State, the public authorities and their ordi-
nances, by the distortion or invidious misrepresen-
tation of facts, or by invectives and scoffing; t°
excite to disobedience of the laws or of the orders
of the authorities ; to undermine fear of God and
good morals ; to insult the precepts, institutions, or
usages of one of the Christian Churches, or of a re-
cognised religious society.
" Art. 2. After two previous warnings of the
publisher, prohibition ensues by the decision of the
Government (in a plenum of the Council) in whose
district the periodical appears.
" Art. 3. When the Government-President (the
ct ief authority of a Prussian Bezirk or district) is
convinced Ciat the tendency of a newspaper is that
pointed out in Art. 1, he is to give the publisher
a written warning, which is to state the grounds
on which it is given. Should this and a second
warning proof ineffectual, proceedings for the pro-
hibition of the periodical may be commenced before
the Government (local) within two months of the
last warning. If such proceedings be not com-
menced without that delay, another warning is
necessary before they can be taken.
" Art. 4. The President of the Government (dis-
trict) disposes concerning the introduction of the
inquiry, and designates the functionary who shall
act as public prosecutor. [This latter hands the act
of accusation to the Government.] The accused (the
publisher) is to have a copy of the same, and to be
invited to a verbal procedure at a plenary sitting
appointed by the President. In this procedure,
which is not public, as well as in the decision of the
affair, the proceedings shall be as prescribed in Arts.
35, 39, and 31 of the law of the 21st of July, 1852,
respecting derelictions of duty on the part of non-
judicial functionaries. The decision, however, can
be merely to the effect of rejection of the accusation,
or to that of temporary or permanent prohibition
of the further appearance of the periodical.
Art. 5. The Public Prosecutor or the publisher
may appeal, within 10 days, to the Council of Minis-
ters, against the decision of the local Government.
In the former case the appeal of the prosecutor is
to be communicated to the publisher, for him to
prepare his reply to it within 10 days. The lodging
of an appeal does not, however, delay the carrying
out of a sentence of complete (permanent) prohibi-
tion pronounced by the ;oval Government.

" Art. 6. When it becomes notorious that a pro-
hibited periodical is to be continued in some other
manner or form, whether under the same or
another name, the President of the district in
question is empowered at once to forbid the under-
taking.
"Art. 7. Persons exposing, selling, or distribut-
ing a newspaper or periodical published in contra-
vention of this ordinance, shall be punished for each
number so sold, exposed, or distributed, or by a fine
of from 10 to to 100 thalers, or imprisonment for a
term of from a week to a year. The application of
other punishments incurred by the propagation of
writings of a criminal nature is not precluded by
provisions of this article.
" Art. 8. In the politio district of Berlin and
Chtalottenburg, the functions assigned by this ordi.
Ounce to the Government Presidents will be exer-
cised. by the Polic President of Berlin, and the
proceedings (judicial) will take place before the
Berlin Presidency of Police.
".Art. 9. Foreign newspapers may be forbidden
by the Council of Ministers by reason of a persis-
tent tendency dangerous to the welfare of the
Prus::ian State.
A,rt, 10. The present ordinance comes into force

this day.

CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The general discount market presents a rather
easier appearanoe owing to the diminution in the
demand for money, usual immediately after the 4th,
and the brokers now evince more disposition to
negotiate first-class three months bills, at 39 per
cent.

About 134,000 in gold was taken into the bank
yesterday.

The amount of specie the Ripon will convey to
India and China is £277,307.
Mr. John Gillespie, of the firm of Gillespie,
Churchill, and Co., has joined the beard of the
English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company.
Subjoined is our usual analysis of the weekly
return issued by the Bank of England authorities.
It will be observed that both the discount operations
of the establishment and the Government deposits
have been somewhat largely increased. In the
former the augmentation is due to the close approxi-
mation of the rates in the general market to that of
the Bank, and in the latter to the revenue payments,
which lire now being actively collected :

The share list of the Dunaburg and Witepsk
Railway Company closes on the 9th inst.
It is proposed to ask the proprietors of the Scinde
Railway Company, who have been summoned to
attend a special meeting on the 19:h inst., to
authorise the issue of £350,000, bearing interest at
the rate of 5 per cent., and £150,000 by debentures
bearing interest at the rate of 41 per cent, The
directors will submit that the distribution be pro
rata among existing shareholders.

•. ••

The Puo3aub Railway Company also intends to
submit a proposition at a special meeting to be held
on the 19th inst., empowering the directors to raise
£500,000 by debentures, bearing interest at the rate
of 41- per cent.

The progress of business in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days
has been moderately active, although no public
sale of importance took place yesterday, in con-
sequence of the absence of many of the powerful
operators at Ascot. Sugar has iully sustained pre-
vious rates, while in coffee, rice, tea, fruit, and
spices, there is no change of importance to record in
values The tallow market has continued dull, and
quotations for both present and forward delivery
have shown a slight downward movement.
The Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow,
by order of the committee, on account of the Queen's
birthday.

At the eleventh annual general meeting of the
shareholders of the London Chartered Bank of
Australia, the accounts submitted showed that,
after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts,
there remained to the credit of profit and loss the
sum of £52,492, out of which the directors recom-
mended that a dividend be declared for the half-year
of 4 per cent., free of income-tax, amounting to
£40,000, and that a sum of £5,090 be placed to the
reserve fund, making a total of £45,000, and leaving
to be carried to next account a balance of £7,492.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were

Only a small amount of business has been trans-
acted to day in the market for the English Funds,
which, however, have continued firm, notwithstand-
ing the inactivity of speculation, Consols being 92i

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.
THE LATE SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE ON FEMALES.—The
prisoner " James Smith," was this morning again placed at
the bar before Mr. Henry, to undergo another examination.
It will be recollected that on the last occasion the
magistrate expressed a desire that the tamest exertions
might be made to discover the real name and position
of the prisoner, as the name he gave on being first taken into
custody, " James Smith," he admitted was an assumed one.
Mr. Pollard, from the office of the Solicitor to the
Treasury, attended for the prosecution, and the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Lewis, jun.
Mr. Pollard said his worship would remember that the
case had been remanded to afford the police an opportunity
of ident;fying the prisoner. Since that day, Inspector
Mackenzie, whose labours throughout the case had been
most unremitting, had discovered the required information,
and had summoned two witnesses by whom it would', be
shown, beyond all doubt, who and what the prisoner was.
Other witnesses were present, but the evidence of one
would of course be sufficient.

Mr. John Page was then examined. He said—l am
superintendent of the Surrey constabulary, residing at
Dorking. I know the prisoner perfectly well. His name
is Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade. He resides at Dork-
ing, and he is adjutant of the 3d Surrey Rifle Volunteers.
Mr. Henry (to witness)—Does the prisoner hold any
commission in the army ?
Witness—l don't know, your worship.
Mr. Henry—Has he ever been in her Majesty's service ?
Witness—l have heard so, but I cannot say for certain.
Mr. Henry—Are you acquainted with his hand•
writing ?
Witness—l have seen him write, but I cannot speak with
certainty to it.
The letter which the prisoner wrote to Colonel Cole at
the police-station when he was first apprehended was then
handed to witness.

Mr. Henry— Do you know the handwriting of the letter ?
I may tell you before answering, witnesses are not required
to swear positively to handwriting, They are only asked
to express a belief.

Witness—l can only say it resembles the prisoner's very
much.

By Mr. Lewis—l have never seen the prisoner write.
I have only seen the battalion orders written by him as
posted about the town and sit the Lion Hotel, Dorking.
Mr. Henry—That is scarcely enough, but the point is not
of great importance.
Mr. Pollard—That is the case for the prosecution. I have
now, sir, to ask you to commit the prisoner under the 24th
and 25th of Vic., c. 100, see. 49, 52, and 54 ; the penalty
incurred being 14 years' penal servitude.
Mr. Lewis—With reference to the more serious of the
charges against the prisoner, I will only say that I shall
have an answer to them at the proper time, if you, sir, in-
tend to send the case for trial. With reference to the minor
charges the prisoner will reserve his defence.

The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate for
trial upon each of the six charges preferred against him.
Mr. Henry inquired if the Solicitor to the Crown had re-
ceived any communication in reference to a previous charge
of the same nature that had been preferred against the pri-
soner at Marlborough •street about three years ago.
Police-constable, 325 A, said—On Oct. 30 he had the
prisoner in charge for indecently assaulting a married
woman. The warrant was issued by Mr. Beadon, the
magistrate then sitting. The name the prisoner then gave
was " Frederick James," and said that he lived in Totten-
ham-court•road, but, on inquiry, it turned out to be a false
address.

Mr. Lewis objected to the particulars of the charge being
stated.

Mr. Henry (to witness)—l told you when you were here
last week to put yourself in communication with the soli-
citorof the Treasury. Why did you not do so ?

Witness—l have been in communication with Mr. Mac-
kenzie, and have been under his direction ever since. I
have made every effort to find the original warrant, but
have not yet succeeded in doing so.
Inspector Mackenzie said he served the female by whom
the complaint was made on that occasion with a summons
to attend here to-day, and she is now in court.
Mr. Pollard then called the witness—She said her name
was Ann Graham. She resided at Bayswater, and her
husband was a sweep. I preferred a charge against the
prisoner at Marlborough-street Police-court. A warrant
was issued, but I consented to settle the case on receiving £5
_ _

Mr. Lewis contended this could not be used in evidence
against the prisoner.
Mr, Henry said when the constable was here, he said
£25 were paid.
The constable satd he believed some of the persons con-
nected with the case received a portion of the money. The
amount paid on the occasion was £25.
Mr. Lewis said he wished it to be distinctly understood
that on that occasion he was not concerned for the prisoner,
and that he knew nothing about the payment of any money
None of their firm were engaged in the matter.

The inquiry then closed, no application being made for
bail.

Colonel Cole attended, and had an interview with the
prisoner in his cell, but he was not Examiued.
The prisoner exhibited the utmost indifference throughout
the whole proceedings.
