UNION HALL--(THIS DAY.)

A young man of shabby-genteel exterior, was brought this
morning before the Magistrates of this office, charged by the
landlady of the Rose and Crown, Long-lane, Borough, with
raising a disturbance in her house, and breaking several ale-
glasses. From the statement of the landlady, it appeared that
last night the prisoner, together with several other persons,
entered the Rose and Crown. The prisoner called for 2s.
worth of brandy, but the landlady not liking the appearance
of his outward man, and fearful if She let him have the liquor
to the fearful amount of twenty-four pence, she might have to
whistle for the,alioney, endeavoured to persuade Lim to con-
tent himself with some cheaper commodity. This good ad-
I ice, however, was of no avail, for the prisoner having regaled
himself with sundry glasses of brandy and water, was de-
termined to take nothing less than that lordly liquor unadul-
terated. Upon the landlady telling him that 2s. worth of
brandy was more than he could pay for, he said, " Well,
what's it matter whether I pay you for it or not ; it's a good
way to get a Christmas-box from you." The landlady refusing
to subscribe to the creed of the prisoner, a general row was
the 'consequence ; during which the fracture, we have before
stated, took place. The police were called in, and the pri-
soner captured and held in durance vile for his ingenious mode
of endeavouring to catch at a Christmas-box.
The prisoner was ordered to pay for the damage he had
occasioned, but being unable to do so, was committed for
seven dad s. Shortly afterwards his better half appeared, pro-
mising to procure the money in an hour or two. This was
assented to by the Magistrates, and upon the money being pro-
cured, the Christmas box hunter, who loved brandy, was dis-
charged, not at all satisfied with the mode in which his frolic
had ended.

CHRISTMAS FROI.ICS.—A young man, of rather respectable
exterior, named Fox, was brought this morning by one of the
police of the P Division, before Mr. JEREMY, charged with
disturbing the peaceable inhabitants of Camberwell by sundry
knocks and rings at their doors, at a late hour last night. Upon
being asked by the Magistrate what he had to say to the charge ?
Fox stated, that being Christmas time, and having dined with
some friends at Stockwell, where the bottle had passed pretty
freely, he felt disposed to have a lark in order to pass the time
away till the morning, until which time he could not get into

his lodgings.
Mr. JEREMY said, that the nuisance of ringing the bells of
respectable persons at a late hour was becoming intolerable.
He regretted extremely that it was not in his power to fine
the prisoner, for if he could he would make an example of him.
All he could now do, was to order him to enter into his own
recognizances, to keep the peace for six months.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

ANTWERP, DEC. 27.--The departure of the Prussian
Charge d'Affaires from Brussels, first announced by the Lynx,
then called in question by the other journal, is now confirmed
by the Moniteur Bilge, which says he has obtained leave of
absence on private business; but it would be very strange if
the representative of the Cabinet of Berlin withdrew for such
a reason, at the very moment when the difficulties arising from
the affairs of the Gruneuwold may render his presence at
Brussels so necessary. The public, on seeing M. Von Galen
leave the country, will believe that these difficulties are more
serious than has been supposed, and the explanation of the
official journal will not be thought satisfactory. We hear that
the division which has been sent to Luxemburg► arrived at
Bastogne yesterday. Several officers of the Staff and the
Engineers have received orders to join General Olivier. The
corps which he commands will be called the '• Division of
Observation."

A letter from Arlon of the 23d December says—" It
seems that the answer which the Government has revered
from Frankfurt is not so favourable as was expected. We
learn, at the same time that such rigorous measures
are taken as the circumstances require. Whatever may hap-
pen, Belgium has full right to reckon on the support of France
and England ; this is of immense weight in our quarrel with
the federal garrison of Luxemburg. It is confirmed that two
Prussian regiments will shortly arrive to reinforce the garrison
of Luxemburg.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, Dec. 28th.

BRUSSELS, "'DEC. 27.—The affair of the forest of Grunen-
wold has been arranged diplomatically. France and England
have intervened. To avoid all collision for the future, the
question of the property of the Grunenwold Las, it is sa►d,
been declared doubtful.—Litigieuse.

M. Van de Weyer, our Minister at London, arrived at Brus-
sels yesterday.
BERLIN, DEC. 7.—The English Government appears to be
at present engaged in a particularly active correspondence
with its legation at the Russian Court. Lord Wm. Russell,
the English Ambassador in this city, has for some time past es-
tablished a regular station here for the couriers of his Govern-
ment. The despatches which are brought by messengers com-
ing by the steam boat from London, either to Hamburg or Rot-
terdam, are received here by the messengers, who are under
the direction of a German, formerly an officer in the Hanove-
rian service, and forwarded immediately to St. Petersburgh.
CON STANTINOPLI, Nov. 30.—There were several meetings
of the Divan last week, in which the principal subject of consi-
deration was whether the Porte should again send a squadron
to Tunis, to assert the rights which it claims respecting that
regency, or whether it would be best to secure them by nego-
elation. It seems that the latter was thought to be the most
advisable, but it was likewise agreed that it became a power
like the Porte to support its representations by means whiell,
though they c3uld not be calculated to inspire the French
Government with fear (as the Turkish marine is incom,ide-
rabic), may yet Ow* the world that no sacrifices are spared,, and
and that all dangeis will be braved, when it is necessary to
defend the honour and the r:glits of the Porte. will
certainly tend to gai❑ public opinion, on which the Porte lays
great stress since the Greek Revolution. It, therefore, seems
as good as certain, that remonstrances will be madre, not only
in respect to Algiers, which, as Admiral Reussin now un-
equivocally declares, will remain in the possession of France,
cost what it may, but likewise with respect to the French
Admiral at Tunis.
We learn from Greece that the Government to relieve its
financial embarrassments is negociating with Fn Ince to obtain
the last portion of the loan, to which they are ready to agree
at Paris, but on such burdensome conditions tlaat the Greek
Government must hesitate to accede to them,
