GERMAN Y.

M. MAURICE LUKACS, the Hungarian political
writer, who was recently arrested and thrown into
prison at Ptsth, has been set at liberty, it having been
proved by his interrogatory that he was not compro-
mised in the late political events.
The Northern German Gazette, under date of
Posen, 10th inst., says:—" Considerable levies of re-
cruits for the army are now making in all parts of
Russian Poland. It is thought that the Government
wishes to hold itself in readiness for the eventualities
of 1852 ; it is also said that the Governments inte-
rested have already drawn up a plan for the meeting
of the coalesced armies and the division of the corps of
operation."

The Breslau Gazette publishes a letter of Vienna
of the 15th which says :—" The appearance of the
English fleet before Tunis has produced a great sen-
sation, because it is taken to be in consequence of the
speech of Lord PsamEitsroN and the resolution of
Parliament. The Bey of TUNIS invokes the aid of
Austria, of France, and of Sardinia; but that will
not prevent Admiral PARKiIi from acting,
seeing that France is on too good terms
with England to divest herself of the character
of mediatrix in this affair. Sardinia, on the
other hand, is under the influence of England, and
Austria cannot, under these circumstances, take up
arms against the policy of that power. It is, then,
probable that the city of Tunis will be bombarded, if
the Bar does not submit promptly. Such an event
will prove decisively that England is determined to
protect the Ottoman Porte on all occasions where her
independence is menaced; and on. her part the Porte
will not offer any opposition to the views of England.
Thus the liberation of KOSSUTH and his friends cannot
be at all regarded as doubtful."
The decision of the Minister to accede to the
request of the Roman Catholic professors of the
Vienna University, not to confirm the election of
the Protestant Professor of Philosophy recently
elected by a large majority, had caused a great
sensation and general dissatisfaction among moderate
Catholics and Protestants. There is a report that
all the Protestant professors intend to remonstrate,
and finally resign if their remonstrance be not at-
tended to.

AUG. 20 --NrrnEimons EAST
INDIES.—The Java Courant of the 213 t of June
pu •
bli.,hes the following proclamation of the Governor
relative to the sloe trade:—.

The slave trade and the importations to that rod
into the Netherlands Indies, whether it be of sle.ves or
of free me 11, forbidden. The imported slaves shall
-.
be immediately free, without distinction, whether
they come from countries that are subject to the
,way of Indian princes or from foreign European co-
lonies and possessions. From this prohibition those
slaves are excluded who are landed with the previous
sanction of Government, and with the view of declaring
theta free hole. and of entering into a compact with them
not exceeding the term of eight years. Such parties must
previously
be furnished with a deelarktion from the place
of exportation ver,fied by the highest authorities of that
place, that the exportation is undertaken with the above
intention.

" The importation of children under ten years of age
for the purpose of servitude is wider no considerwiun
allowed."

A MONSTER TRAIN.--A great deal of bustle and
excitement prevailed yesterday morning at the station of
the Great Northern Railway, in consequence of it being an-
nounced that a" Monster Exhibition Train" would start
that morrthig, in order to afford parties an opportunity of
arriving at York in time fur the commentiement of tile races.
It being the grand day thousands availed themselves of the
advantages thus afforded. There were nearly fifty passen-
ger carriages and four engines, two at the front and two at
the back.

ANOTHER ASCENT OP MONT BLANC.—It appears
,bat another ascent of Mont Blanc was made on the :aim
day on which Messrs. West, Fli,yo, and A. Smith ascended.
Another Englishman, bin Vansittart, started with three
guides two hours after the other party, and, after a fatiguing
journey, reached at sunset the Grands Mulets, where he
bivouacked till midnight, when he again started, and arrived
at the summit about 9 o'clock in the morning. He returned
safely to Chamouni in the evening.
THE TELEGRAPH IN BRITISH AMERICA.—At the
commencement of the month, the telegraphic wire from
Quebec was thrown across the Grand Falls, and thence to
Woudatock, establishing instantaneous communication be-
tween Quebec and the chief Canadian towns, via the valley of
the river St. John, and consequently expediting the trans-
mission of intelligence between the Canadian provinces and
England.
DESTITUTION AND SUDDEN DEATH.—An inquest
was held yesterday afternoon at the Crown, Blackfriais-road,
before Mr. Payne, on the body of Catherine Maay Holland,
aged 2e, who was found dealt in the back parlour of 48,
Pearl-row, Blackfriars-road, on Tuesday afternoon. From
the evidence of Charles James Lloyd, an elderly man, with
whom the deceased had cohabited for the last six months, in
the greatest misery and destitution, it appeared that the
deceased,who was advanced in pregnancy, had been ailing
for some time, but had not had any medical advice, having a
repugnance to it. The deceased, however, bad taken a pow-
der the day previous to her death, having complained of the
prevailing epidemic. On the day of her death, Lloyd had
only left her a few moments, alive and apparently better than
usual, but on his return found her dead. The medical
evidence satisfying the jury, they returned a verdict of
"Death from natural causes."
ADULTERATION OF GREEN TEA.--The result of
the Lancet's investigations respecting the adulteration of
black tea ,vas, that the great bulk of black tea reached the
i
consumer n a pure state, and particularly ccngou and sou •
chong ; the result of the inquiries respecting green tea, how-
ever, lead to a more unsatisfactory conclusion, for there is
very strong reason to believe, notwithstanding the evidence,to
the contrary, that there really exists no such thing as "genuine
green tea." Thirty sainplel of green, on importation from
China, were examined, and there was not a single leaf in any
of these samples which had not received its green colour by
artificial means, and the materials used in the colouringpro-
cesa were shown to consist of Prussian blue, mineral green.
verdigris, arsenite of copper, Dutch pink, chrotnate of potash,
bi-chromate of
,potash, chrome e yellow. chalk, gypsum, and
soapstone or rench chalk, some of which are calculated
to hare a highly injurious effect upon the 18/113/114
49M0 of a pumas nature.
