PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, APRIL 18.—The celebrated English quaker,
Mrs. Fry, has been here for some days. She is accom-
panied by Mr. Allen, who enjoyed the favour of the Em-
peror Alexander, on account of the service he rendered to
the administration of the Russian prisons by Mr. Gurney,
and several other respectable members of the English So-
ciety of Friends.

The King has given orders to show them all possible
attention on their visit to the Russian prisons, houses of
correction, work-houses, &c. They have already visited
all these establishments, both here and at the Spandau, and
given proof, as well of their liberality to sick prisoners, as
of their knowledge and good judgment, and also of their
touching eloquence.
Mrs. Fry is said to have expressed particular interest and
satisfaction in her visit to the Institution for Destitute
Children, directed by the worthy Mr. Kopf ; but not to
have been so well satisfied with the prisons of Berlin.
Those are, in fact, on account of the want of room, and
too crowded state, not so well ordered, and especially less
furnished with the recent improvements in their system of
management than many similar establishments in the
provinces.
We hear from several quarters that the Russian expe-
dition on the Emba is not reduced to such a state as was at
first reported.

General Molortoff states in his last private accounts,
published in the Breslaw Gazette, that the expedition had
not given up the hope of releasing the Russians, who are
in slavery at Khiva, and putting an end to the robberies of
the Khan.

LONDON:
THURSDAY, APRIL So, 1840.

The House of Commons met yesterday on the
termination of the adjournment for the holidays.
After the presentation of petitions, which were
not numerous, the report of the Cambridge Election
Committee, which voids Mr. SUTTON'S return, was
brought up, and the evidence, taken before the
Committee, on the motion of Mr. WARBURTON,
was ordered to be 'Hinted. We do not understand
the anxiety betrayed by the Committee to exonerate
Mr. SUTTON from a knowledge of the practice,
which the Committee, nevertheless, held to be suf-
ficient to turn him out. Hawks they say will not
pick out hawks' eyes, which may perhaps account for
the Members of the Committee not picking a hole
in Mr. SUTTON'S coat. Had his Jury been com-
posed of another class, we doubt whether he would
have escaped so well. The Chairman of the Com-
mittee, on being asked, said that he did not mean
to move for a new writ. Sir JOHN WALSH in-
sisted that there wls no sufficient reason fur treat-
ing the borough with severity, but Lord JOHN
RUSSELL reminded the Hon. Member that,
as in the case of Ludlow, a notice would be ex-
pected before the new writ was moved for, and the
Hon. Baronet did not move nor give a notice.
Mr. MAULE stated, in answer to Mr. GLAD-
STONE, that the seamen who lately arrived from
China in the Diana, had been sentenced by a
Court, constituted by Capt. ELLIOT, to a period
of imprisonment in this country ; but the law offi-
cers were of opinion that it was doubtful whether
Capt. ELLIOT had power so to sentence them,
and they were discharged.

In answer to Lord MA 'Lox, who asked whether
the intelligence received yesterday morning from
Naples were true, Lord J. RUSSELL said he cer-
tainly was not aware that any such account had been
received. He had met the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs two hours before, who had not then received
any, though it was possible he might since have
done so.

The Noble Lord declined to give Mr. HumE an
answer as to the present state of the Boundary Ques-
tion till this day.
The Juvenile Offenders Bill was committed, on
the motion of Sir EARDLEY 'WILMOT ; and after
a division on an amendment moved by Mr.
BARNEBY, to put it off for six months, had been
lost by 70 to 20, in the Committee several
amendments were proposed, but before the Bill
could be passed through the Committee, the House
was counted out. In the course of the discussion
Mr. WAKLEY took an opportunity of revenging
the Coroner of Middlesex on the Magistrates, by
describing the Justices generally as the most in-
competent body of men which could be found.

r. G. PALMER'S ex post facto motion on
China was fixed for some day after the recess. It is a
