his devotion to the Absolutist Powers. Even if it
were true that the lady had been actuated solely by
political motives in visiting one of the Polish prisoners,
what danger could there be for Russia, Austria, and
Prussia, in the visit of a woman to a prisoner? Was
it absolutely necessary for the Minister to act the part
of spy for the Holy Alliance ? But after the affair
of Cracow it is not a matter of surprise that having
abandoned the cause, he should betray its supporters."
The Echo Agricole states that the declaration of
M. DELESSEAT, the Prefect of Police, in the Chamber
of Peers, on Tuesday, that it was the determination
of the Government not to suffer any of the flour
stored in the granaries of reserve to be withdrawn
for consumption, had the effect of causing a rise in
the price of wheat and flour in the Paris corn-mark: t

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)
In The Sun of 'Thursday a case was reported from
this Court, in which heed, a constable of the H division,
No. 199, charged a girl named Mary Ann Parkins with
being drunk and fighting in the streets. The charge was
disproved, and the girl dismissed. She, however, made
a serious counter charge against the constable, which, it
will be remembered, the Magistrate directed should be
thoroughly investigated.
As M.-. Ballantine was leaving the bench yesterd-my,
Inspector Scott handed him his report, the result of
which was that this morning the inspector was directed
(no charge having been laid in a formal way before the
Magistrate) to proc, ed to Scotland-yard and lay the
affair before the Commissioners. Tt.e result of the in-
spector's inquiry fully confirms the report in The Sun of
Thursday.

It appears that a similar charge was preferred against
this very constable ab,ut a twrivemonth since.

•
from the house ut John Forrest.
The prosecutor's daughter Mated that the watch was
hanging over the mantel-shelf' in the parlour, and she
left the room for the purpose of going up stairs, the hall
door being open at ;he time, when the prisoner, whom
.he had observed lucking about the premises fur nearly
two hours, and whom she saw look through a window
from which he could see the watch, rushed in and
snatched the watch from where it was hanging, and ran
away as fast as he could.

The prosecutor having described the watch. Mr. Allen,
the landlord of the Prince of Wal, 8, Barnsbury-park,
Islington, stated that the prisoner came into his house
in about half an hour after the robbery had been corn
witted, and exhibited a watch which corresponded in
every respect with that described by the prosecutor.
The policeman said he was unable to trace the watch
as yet, and in consequence the prisoner was remanded.
