THE POLISH TRIALS.

BERLIN, AUG. 5. —The sitting of this day was
taken up with the interrogation of Bronislaus Da-
browski. The hearing of this case closed the first
part of the criminal proceedings.
The counsel for the prosecution then rose, and
spoke in support of the accusation. After drawing
a rapid sketch of the interrogatories of the accused,
Miroslawski, Kosinski, and Bronislaus Dabrowski,
he spoke to the following effect :—I have qualified the
facts adduced as high treason, and I maintain the
accusation. The law says, that any attempt having
for its object the overthrow of the constitution of
the state, or being directed against the life or liberty
of the prince, is high treason. It 'is evident that the
present case may be so defined. The object of the
attempt was the re-establishment of Poland within
the limits which it possessed in the year 1772. It
is true, Miroslawski has pretended that the
plan was directed against Russia, that it had a po-
litical and a military object ; but that gentleman in so
doing only rests his case upon deductions, not facts.
It will be the part of the counsel of the accused to
prove that the plan was not directed against Prussia.
The accused were to use violent means for separating
the Duchy of Posen from Prussia. As regarded the
nationality of Miroslawski, his being a Frenchman
does not render him the less amenable to the laws of
the country against which he has offended. The
punishment for high treason is thus described in the
93d article of the Prussian code :—" All persona
guilty of high treason will be condemned to death,
by the most terrible means." It is to be understood
by this that no special means of causing death are to
be employed. Article 95 bears, that all persons
guilty of high treason shall lose not only all their
rights as well as their goods and chattels, hut their
children will bear the penalty of their crimes, if the
State thinks proper to keep them in perpetual impri-
sonment or send them into exile, in order to avoid
future dangers. The court adjourned after hearing
i the counsel for Dabrowski.

RIDEMAID
Tna LATE SUICIDE F
STEAM-BOAT.—
W
yesterday Mr. W. Carter
at the Hero of Waterloo Inn, Lambeth, on the body of
usann.
Susannah Rose Warren, alias Sarah Wilson, aged 23,
who committed suicide b) jumping off the Bridemaid
iron steam-boat. The evidence proved that the deceased,
who belonged to that class termed unfortunate, lodged
with another female of the same class at 13, Newcastle-
conrt, Strand. On Tuesday week, after being in a state
of intoxication for neatly a, week, she went on board the
Bridesmaid steamer • at Temple pier, and on the vessel
arriving at the Old Swan, Chelgea, the deceased plunged
into the water, and although every endeavour was made
to save her by the captain and crew on board, nothing
was seen of her until Saturday morning last, when her
body was found on the shore .of the Thames near
Peachey's roads. The. jury, after hearing several wit-
nesses, returned a verdict " That deceased destroyed her
life whilst of unsound mind, resulting from excessive
drinking."
