PRUSSIA.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 17th, contains
several Cabinet orders :respecting the seminary at
Foppelsdorf, the loan for public works, the proceed-
ings in political cases and offences committed by the
press, the restoration of the Rhenish civil law in
regard to marriages, the founding of loan banks, &c.
From Stettin, under date April 12, we learn that
the re-actionary party there is beginning to take
measures to effect the return of the Prince of raus•
SIA. Although a petition containing an invitation to
the PRINCE to take up his residence at Stettin, as
Stadtholder of Pomerania, is for the present kept
back, yet an article in the Stettin Gazette expresses
the desire that the Prince of PRUSSIA. should take a
part in the approaching discussions on the constitution.
Gracile, of the 18th, says—
The Aix la Chapelle
" In consequence of the riots which took place
yesterday a proclamation has been issued, prohibiting
the assembling of more than five persons, and de-
claring that if the milittiry, the burgher guard, or
police are attacked or citiobeyed, recourse shall be
had to force of arms. Notwithstanding this procla-
mation several conflicts took place during the course
of the day, but no official return has yet been made.
" TEN O'CLOCK, P.M.--The city is quit."
It is said that the Prussian Cabinet is engaged in a
new organization of Posen, which is essentially
favourable to Polish nationality. The German dis-
tricts will be reunited to Germany, and the rest of
the duchy form a separate State, to be governed by a
special constitution, the King of PRUSSIA ruling by
the title of Grand Duke. All offices to be in the
hands of Poles.
The Prussian States Gazette contains the following
important declaration :
" We arc authorised to state that all the endeavours
which have been made by the Prussian Government for
the conclusion of a pacific arrangement of the dissen-
sions with Denmark, nave called. Accordingly the offi-
cer commanding the Prussian troops in Holstein was
authorised, some time ago, to act according to circum-
stances, and, if necessary, to transport the operatimis to
the other side of the Eider. Fresh troops have been
sent from Prussia into the Duchies."

The Prussian Gazette publishes a royal ordon-
nance dissolving the supreme Protestant Consistory
created in the month of January last.
A letter from Posen, dated the 12th of April, an-
nounces that the armed bands in the Grand Duchy
have surrendered, in pursuance of a capitulation con•
eluded by the Polish Chiefs with General WlLusaN.
A portion of the men armed with scythes are to be
incorporated into the regiments in course of forma •
Lion.

CLERKENWELL.

Three men, named Brien, Vigo, and Conner, were
put at the bar for examination before Mr. Tyr whitt,
charged with committing a violent assault on police-
constable Haines, No. 155 G. The prisoners were
remanded from this court on Monday last, in conse-
quence of the prosecutor being then in too dangerous
a condition to give the necessary evidence. The pro-
secution is conducted by the Treasury, while the
interest of the prisoners is watched over by Mr. Sid-
ney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden.
On Sunday morning last, about the hour of nine,
the prisoner and several other persons assembled in
Golden-lane, St. Luke's, and commenced hurrahing
for " Mitchel and Ireland," and calling out " Down
with the police," at the same time assaulting every
one that passed, who would not join in the rioting.
A complaint of the rioting having reached the ears
of the officer Haines, from a gentleman who had
been grossly ill-treated by them, he hastened to the
spot, and Brien being pointed out as the party who
had cotntnitted the latter outrage, he apprehended
him, when he was immediately beset by the mob, but
more violently by the prisoners, by whom he was
knocked down, kicked, dragged about, and eventually
his left eye was " gouged" from the socket. His
cries of murder brought to his assistance a number of
the shopkeepers of the neighbourhood, and Sergeant
White and other constables, who, after much diffi
culty and risk, rescued the unfortunate complainant.
Mr. TYRWIIITT thanked the tradesmen who had
assisted, and said the public were much indebted to
them.

Mr. Ward, one of the witnesses, remarked that it
was next to a miracle that Haines escaped with his
life.

Mr. TTRWEIITT asked that officer if he was still
under the care of a medical man ?—The poor fellow,
whose head was bound up, said he was, and expected
to be so for some time, as he was suffering severely
from contusions and bruises on various parts of the
body.

The prisoners, who was Advised by Mr. Sidney to
reserve their defence, were then fully committed to
Newgate for trial.
London, England, 1848-06-12

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the
6th ult.

The city was quiet, and SALDANHA. bad declared
in opposition to the Exaltados, that he thinks the
ordinary laws sufficient to preserve tranquillity, and
he shall neither suspend the guarantees, nor demand
laws against the press.

He intends to propose a new electoral law, founded
on the principle of direct election, and dividing the
country into smaller electoral districts. Should this
law pass, the Cortes will be immediately dissolved.

The project of law about the Bank of Lisbon notes
was still under discussion. The main points of it are
that all payments to and by the state, except to sol-
diers, should be three-fourths in metal and one-fourth
in notes at their nominal value. Private persons
-were allowed to contract for metal payments. The
national contracts from the 23d of July, 1834, to the
23d of May, 1846, were to be satisfied all in metal ;
but by the 13th article of the project the Bank of
Portugal is authorised to pay its debts contracted
during the same period in notes at their nominal
value. Those, then, who, at the invitation of the
bank, capitalised their notes, are tricked.

The Count DE THOMAR (Costa Cabral) bas joined
the moderate or Saldanba party. His brother, JOSE
DE SILVA CABRAL, is the head of the Exaltado Car-
lista party. This is an old Cabralista trick. Even as
far back as 1828 COSTA CABRAL was a Pedroite, and
Josx DE SILVA CABRAL a Miguelite. There is not a
party in Portugal that has the remotest chance of
power but it has a Cabral amongst its members.
The Spanish soldiers who revolted at Seville are
confined on board the Donna Maria frigate. The
officers have been allowed to land in Lisbon.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Frederick Mcdlazn, manager of Aldridge's Reposi-
tory, in St. Martin's-lane, was summoned for wan-
tonly and cruelly ill-treating a mare, the property of
Mr. Halsey, M.P.
Mr. Thomas, secretary of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was present to
prosecute. _ _ _

It appeared that Mr. Halsey sent a mare to Mr.
Aldridge 's stables for sale. The morning before the
public sale came on the mare was found to have bee a
very severely whipped. These violent marks would,
of course, very much depreciate the price of the mare
in the eyes of a large portion of the buyers. The
discovery was made on Wednesday morning by Wm.
Morgan, Mr. Halsey's groom, who found the mare
wealed from her hind quarters down to the hocks,
and the skin broken on the near hind leg. He went
to the defendant and asked an explanation, when the
defendant asked what was the matter, and on being
told that the mare had been violently beaten, replied,
" Well, I know that—l did it myself."
Mr. Sylvester, veterinary surgeon, who had known
the mare ever since she was foaled, said she was a
very quiet animal in the stable. He saw the whip-
marks on the quarters, just before the animal was
brought out for sale.
The defendant said he found the mare kicking, and
he used his whip, but not to hurt the animal.
He was fined forty shillings, or fourteen days' im-
prisonment.

WOOL.

The imports of Wool, last vveek, into London were
very extensive—viz., 104 bales from Alexandria, 11
ditto from Hamburgh, 60 ditto from Monte Video, 720
ditto from Algoa Bay, 1,000 ditto from Sydney, 30 ditto
from Bombay, 706 ditto from the Cape, 13 ditto from
Ostend, 600 ditto from Launceston, and 588 ditto from
Bombay. The supplies of both English and Colonial
Wool, on offer in the private contract market, are un.
usually large; and for all descriptions the demand is in
a very inactive state, at barely the late decline in the

TO THE RING.

Val Richer, Sunday, July 19, 1846.
Sire,—Here are letters from Bresson and Jrn
which will please the King. He will see that we are,
progressing at Madrid and at London, and in the right
path. He will also perceive that I had already spoken
to Bresson about Narvaez, and that it was desirable that
the latter should return to Madrid. I shall mention the
subject again to-morrow, but I think Bresson should be
allowed to choose bis own time and opportunity.
We had two objects in view ; one was to convince
Narvaez of the good intentions of the Ring and of his
Government towards him, the other that he should
understand well the King's views in the marriage
question, especially as regards the Duke of Cadiz, and
that he should promise to act for us in that sense. Both
of these objects have been obtained. We must now
take care not to alarm (effarou cher) too much Chris-
tina and her Cabinet, or London, where the sudden
return of Narvaez will not be relished, as it is too evi-
dent that we are the cause of it. I think it would be as
well for him to be at Madrid before the opening of the
Cortes ; a reconciliation will then be necessary between
him and Mon ; for I persist in the opinion that a good
understanding between these two men is necessary to
have anything like a Government in Spain. But, to in-
sure success, it is necessary that these matters should
appear to happen naturally, and that we should not
seem to be running after them. I shall tell Narvaea
something which shall keep up his patience. In sooth
he amuses himself at Paris, and he will willingly remain
two or three weeks longer. I have a person near him
who arrived from Bayonne almost at the same time he
did, and who sees him every day.
regardsAlesavehr a little in
e Queen Christina, I think it will be as well
to
peace, making her advance de
bonne Write in the path in which we made her enter by
a well-directed stratagem.

THE CHARTISTS.

Yesterday being Whit-Sunday, it was expected that a
meeting would be held in Bishop Bonner's-fields prepa-
ratory to the grand demonstration which is announced
to come off there to-day. The weather was invitingly
fine, and the attractions of Victoria-park are at this
holiday time sufficient of themselves to attract a great
concourse of pr-ogle. From some mysterious cause,
however, with which it is not unnatural to suppose that
the proceedings of the previous Sunday had some con-
nexion, there was an unusually small show of persons in
the fields and in the park yesterday, and the most per-
afetettempprt asopwrietymaandde
teorder prevailed. Not the slightest
get together a meeting, nor was
there any indication over the wide space of the great
storm which is expected to burst there to-day. Two
field preachers, who occupy the ground every Sunday,
appeared to have some difficulty in gathering their
usual congregation of about 20 hearers ; and, altogether,
nothing could be more unpromising for the cause of the
would-be Revolutionists than the general tranquillity of
the Bethnal-green district yesterday. About three
o'clock some little excitement was produced by the
presence of a large body of metropolitan police, who,
having marched to occupy different stations in the neigh-
bourhood of the fields, scattered themselves from thence
over the open space, evidently with the intention of pre-
venting any meeting from assembling. They seemed
well prepared to effect this purpose, for many of the men
carried by their sides a good serviceable-looking cutlass.
This sight of the weapons was not lost upon the by-
standers, who did not attempt to offer the slightest ob
struction or annoyance.
To meet the anticipated demonstration of this day in
a peremptory and decided manner, and to guard ef-
fectually the public peace thus again openly threatened,
the authorities have caused the following placard to be
posted up in the different thoroughfares of the metropolis:

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster,
to-day, at ten o'clock.

RAVEN V. SEAL.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in
this ease, which came before his Lordship a few days
since, upon appeal from the judgment of Vice-Chan-
cellor Knight Bruce. The bill was filed by the next
friend of infants against the three persons who are exe-
cutors of the will of their grandfather. The defendants
moved to have the bill taken off the file, but the Vice-
Chancellor directed a reference to the Master to inquire
whether it was for the benefit of the infants that the suit
should be prosecuted. The Master reported in favour
of the prosecution of the suit. Exceptions were taken to
the report; those exceptions were overruled, and a pe-
tition was presented to confirm the report. His Honour
refused to make any order on that petition, but allowed
the cause to proceed; and against that course of prac-
tice the plaintiff appealed. his Lordship was clearly of
opinion that the Court below had miscarried in this de-
cision; he felt, therefore, bound to reverse that judgment,
and order the report of the Master to be confirmed.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
MASTERS V. THE MARQUIS DE CROISMARE.—JUDGMENT.
The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment this
morning in this case, which was argued by him in No-
vember last, upon further directions. The suit was in-
stituted for the specific performance of the conditions of
a settlement made on the marriage of Charles Louis, new
Marquis, but then Comte de Croismare, with Miss
Sophia Syer. Miss Syer was entitled to certain per-
sonal estates in possession, and also to certain sums of
stock, in reversion, upon the death of her mother. She
was also entitled to certain real estate in possession, as
well as to real estate in reversion, upon the death of her
mother ;_ and by deed of settlement bearing date the
27th of December, 1822, reciting the conveyance of the
property to Charles Legh Hoskins Master, John Lloyd,
and George Frederick, on trust to sell, it was declared
that the personal estate in possession should bs) held in
trust as to one moiety, for Miss Syer for life, for her
separate use, and as to the other, for the Mar quis for
life, and the whole for the survivor for life, with. a power
of appointment to such of the children as they might
think fit, and if no appointment, then in itrust..4for the

SUPPOSED MURDER.

On Friday evening au inquest was opened before Mr.
W. Carter, at the Albert Tavern, Battersea-fields, upon
the body of a gentleman unknown, who was found lying
on the shore of the river near the above-mentioned
house. The deceased is apparently 26 years of age,
stout figure, fair complexion, dark brown hair. close cut
whiskers, his height about five feet five or six inches,
and he was attired in a black dress coat, a striped vest,
tweed trousers, and white shirt spotted with red dog's
heads holding a stick. A pair of kid gloves we're found
in his coat pocket, but no other property was found on
his persoe. The appearance of the body was such as to
induce much suspicion, and this suspicion was greatly
increased by the absence of money, jewellery, papers,
and everything of value. On a nearer examination of
the body the forehead was found to be severely bruised,
and in the centre of the frontal bone there was a small
wound penetrating the skull, and apparently inflicted by
some sharp instrument. After bearing some evidence
the inquest was adjourned, that a post mortem examina-
tion might be made, the coroner directing that the body
should be moved afterwards to the bone-house, and
kept there as long as possible for identification- On
Saturday, about noon, Inspector Busain had an interview
with Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate, and Mated
that Dr. Wing had extracted a pistol bullet from
the deceased gentleman's head, and had stated it to be
his firm conviction that the deceased was murdered.
In consequence of this announcement on the part of
Dr. Wing, fuller particulars of the unfortuaate de-
ceased than had been deemed necessary to give at the
finding of the body were sent by route to all the
metropolitan police-stations with a view of ascertaining
who the deceased may be. The post mortem exami-
nation was made yesterday morning by Dr. Wing,
assisted by Dr. Holmes. The forehead or frontal bone
exhibited externally three very severe contused wounds,
evidently inflicted by some deadly instrument, such as
a " life-preserver." In the centre of the frontal bone
was a small orifice, through which a pistol-ball had en-
tered and lodged in the table of the cranium, so as to
press on the brain without passing through the skull.
The position of the ball would scarcely be such in a sui-
cide's case, as they generally fired at the side of the head
or in the mouth. Another reason for its not being a
suicide was, that there were no traces of powder in the
wound, which would have been the case if the pistol had
been fired close to the person, and the base of the skull
was not injured. The backs of the hands were much
bruised by being beaten with a thick stick or life-
preserver. Respiration had never taken place in the
water, therefore he had been carried in a dead state to
the river and thrown in.

REJECTION OF ERNEST JONES'S BAIL.

T 11; three persons, of whose names notice had been
given on Friday as bail for Mr. Ernest Jones, attended
before Mr. Henry immediately on tho conclusion of the
above case.
The first, Mr. John Sewell, was not objected to on the
part of the prosecution.
The second, a Mr. Bloomfield, a builder in the Mile-
end road, returned very unsatisfactory answers to the
questions put to him by Mr. Hayward. He had paid
no rent for six months, and neither income nor assessed
taxes for twelve months, as far as he knew. They
might have been paid without his knowledge. He did
not bring his receipts, because he did not receive notice
to do so. He swore that.
Sergeant Kemble, of the detective force, proved that he
gave Mr. Bloomfield notice.—Bail rejected.
The third person was then brought forward. His
name was Munal. He said ho had leasehold property
on which he could raise `3501., but admitted that it was
only by the sale of those leases he could meet two bills,
now nearly due, for 1001. each.
Mr. HENRY rejected this bail also, and observed that
one bail could not be admitted singly, and therefore Mr.
Sewell was also rejected.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Fredi Tick Mallanz, manager of Aldridge's Reposi-
tory, in St. Martin's-lane, was summoned for wan-
tonly and cruelly ill-treating a mare, the property of
Mr. Halsey, M.P.
Mr. Thomas, secretary of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was present to
prosecute.
It appeared that Mr. Halsey sent a mare to Mr.
Aldridge's stables for sale. The morning before the
public sale came on the mare was found to have been
very severely whipped. These violent marks would,
of course, very much depreciate the price of the mare
in the eyes of a large portion of the buyers. The
discovery was made on Wednesday morning by Wm.
Morgan, Mr. Halsey's groom, who found the mare
wealed from her hind quarters down to the hocks,
and the skin broken on the near hind leg. He went
to the defendant and asked an explanation, when the
defendant asked what was the matter, and on being
told that the mare had been violently beaten, replied,
" Well, I know that—l did it myself."
Mr. Sylvester, veterinary surgeon, who had known
the mare ever since she was foaled, said she was a
very quiet animal in the stable. He saw the whip-
marks on the quarters, just before the animal was
brought out fur sale.
The defendant said he found the mare kicking, arid
he used his whip, but not to hurt the animal.
He was fined forty shillings, or fourteen days' im-
prisonment.

CLERKENWELL.

Three men, named Brien, Vigo, and Conner, were
put at the bar for examination before Mr. Tyr whitt,
charged with committing a violent assault on police-
constable Haines, No. 155 G. The prisoners were
remanded from this court on Monday last, in conse-
quence of the prosecutor being then in too dangerous
a condition to give the necessary evidence. The pro-
secution is conducted by the Treasury, while the
interest of the prisoners is watched over by Mr. Sid-
ney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden.
On Sunday morning last, about the hour of nine,
the prisoner and several other persons assembled in
Golden-lane, St. Luke's, and commenced hurrahing
for " Mitchel and Ireland," and calling out " Down
with the police," at the same time assaulting every
one that passed, who would not join in the rioting.
A complaint of the rioting having reached the ears
of the officer Haines, from a gentleman who had
been grossly ill-treated by them, he hastened to the
spot, and Brien being pointed out as the party who
had committed the latter outrage, he apprehended
him, when he was immediately beset by the mob, but
more violently by the prisoners, by whom he was
knocked down, kicked, dragged about, and eventually
his left eye was " gouged" from the socket. His
cries of murder brought to his assistance a number of
the shopkeepers of the neighbourhood, and Sergeant
White and other constables, who, after much diffi •
culty and risk, rescued the unfortunate complainant.
Mr. TYRAVIIITT thanked the tradesmen who had
assisted, and said the public were much indebted to
them. _ _

Mr. WTard, one of the witnesses, remarked that it
was next to a miracle that Haines escaped with his

Mr. TYRWHITT asked that officer if he was still
under the care of a medical man ?—The poor fellow,
whose head was bound up, said he was, and expected
to be so for some time, as he was suffering severely
from contusions and bruises on various parts of the
body.
The prisoners, who was advised by Mr. Sidney to
reserve their defence, were then fully committed to
Newgate for trial.
