GERMAN Y.
The Senate of Homburg has placed severe and
almost prohibitive restrictions on the transport of
emigrants by the agents of British shipowners. The
Senate has also reqw,sted the Prussian Government
to adopt similar restrictive and hostile measures, and
it is stated that the city of Bremen proposes to follow
up the example set by the city of Hamburg. Our cor-
respondent laments that the British Consul and Vice-
Consul at Hamburg should have allowed these mea-
sures to pass without the most strenuous opposition.

ITALY.
The Milan Gazette of the 22i inst. published the
following proclamation, addressed to the inhabitants
of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, by Marshal
ladetzsky, from his head-quarters at Monza, on the

9th
" The result of the recent judicial investigations and
several facts which have occurred recently have con-
vinced m® that the parties whose sole object is the
overthrow of social order, not content with the
misfortunes they have already occasioned, Lave
again secretly planned a scheme for trampling under
foot all respect for religion and the laws, and for en-
dangering the lives and properties of all honourable
and peaceable citizens, and for preventing all return of
confidence in the Government. As lam responsible to
my august Sovereign for the maintenance of tranquillity
and good order in this country, I regard it as a sacred
duty to GO.l and my conscience to defend your lives and
properties from the unworthy attacks of a party hateful in
the sight of God, who hesitate before no means—not
even assassination—to accomplish their criminal ob-
ject. The force at my disposal is sugficient, it is true,
for the maintenance of public tranquillity, and for
the protection of life and property, and, in
fine, for the legal punishment of those who
shall endanger public tranquillity,
.but it is not in
m y power to prevent the abyss which is being prepared
in darkness. lam confident that the population par-
ticipates in my profou,..d horror for the secret machi-
nations of those wretches. It is consequently in the in-
terest of yourselves and your families that I request you
formally to afford me all the assistance in your power in
the accomplishment of my duty by watching attentively
the enemies of order, by disapproving of their dangerous
projects, and if they should nevertheless compromise the
public peacoeby words or actions, or by personal offence,
to point them out to the severities of justice. lam
firmly resolved to put an end to their mysterious and
scandalous schemes, and if, contrary to my expectations,
some districts shall, through weakness, through interest,
or through wickedness, not support me in my benevolent
intentions, and leave the road clear for the enemies of
social order, they shall bear the entire weight of my
severity. I should be in that case compelled (and it is
for that reason I warn you) to render the entire district
reponsible, and force it to contribute ffectually. to the
arrest of the guilty and of their accohipllces. Being con-
vinced, moreover, that martial law is not disagreeable to
good and peaceable citizens, I have resolved to recall all
the relaxations I had introduced, and I again declare
that my proclamation of the 10th March, 1849, is in full
force."

APPREILES-SION of the CHESHIRE

BURGLARS.
The daring robbers who attacked the house of Mr. R.
Hine, a Quaker gentleman at Hockley, near Macclesfield,
have all been apprehended, and on Saturday were brought
before the oounty magistrates at Macclesfield for exami-
nation. The leader of the gang, Jonathan Bradley, was
taken in Coneletou, at the shop of Mr. Drakeford, watch-
maker, to whom he offered Mr. Richard Edmund Hine's
gold watch very shortly after that gentlema❑ had re-
ceived a placard from the police, describing the rob-
bery. Mr. Drakeford at once gave this man in charge,
and the county police in the course of the following
day discevered and apprehended his accomplices. The
names of these men are Jacob Dean, James Middle-
ton, Joseph Mideleton, and Thomas Riigeway. Hav-
ing been ple6cd at the bar of the police court, the
first witness called was Mr. Richard Hine, sen., who
described the attack on his bowie on the morning of
the 16th instant by men, who, when he opened his front
bedroom window, demanded the money and other vale-
a'elea in the house, presenting a pistol at him as he re-
monstrated. He afterwards sew them at the back of
the house break ope❑ the hack door, and his daughter
having been down stairs and told him one of the
panels of an inner door had been burst out, he advised his
Ben to give the robbers his watch if they would consent
to go away. At the close of his examination be was
asked if he could identify any of the prisoners, and they
were ordere.i to put on their ceps. With this order
Bradley complied very unwillingly, and though his be-
haviour was bold and impudent in court he partly turned
from the witness and averted his face. After looking
steadily at them for some time, Mr. Hine said he could
not speak with certainty to any of them, though he
thought the voice of one of them (Bradley, whom he had
before known) was familiar to him. They either wore
black mask; or had their faces blacked.

Mr. R. E. Hine, jun., next repeated the account of the
attack. Ho said, finding they were likely soon to suc-
ceed in forciog the r.econd door, he again presented him-
self at the back window, and was received with oaths by
the leader of the party, who presented his pistol with
an oath, and again demanded his money, threatening to
take his life. He asked this man if he would go
away if he gave him his gold watch, and he promised
that they shouhi: but no sooner had he dropped the
watch into ono of their hats than the leader ordered
two of the party to renew the attempt to force
the door, telling one cf them with an oath be
would run a knife into him he was long about it.
Witness demanded what further they wanted, and the
leader said they must yet hew., his money. Reminding
them of their broken promises, be dropped six to ten
shillings into their hats. They then rettred, the leader
observing that they might think themselves " d—d well
oft" The prisoner Jonathan Bradley, to the best of his
belief, was the leader, who twice threatened to stab his
men if they did n,)t "do their duty;" and the two Mid-
diet ses were the men who broke open the back door.
He had a better opportunity of observing them than the
others, beeause they both held their hats up under the
window for the watch, and also for the money, and their
faces were then turned upwards close ander the window.
The other prisoners he believed also to-be of the party.
Mr. SWANWICK, the chairman of the bench, asked
the prisoners if they wished to put any questions to the
witness?

James Middleton—l he had told a little more
truth.

Bradley—You said I threatened to run a knife into
you if you did not give me your watch. How was Ito
do that, if you were at the bedroom window?
James Middleton—l wish to ask if me and my brother
were the parties breaking open the door?
Mr. H. E. fline—To the best of my belief you were.
The prison-r—To the best of your belief ! Are you
sure ?
Joseph Middleton—Had I anything in ray hand
when I was breaking opal the door ?
Mr. Hine—Yoi and your brother were together, end
one of you had a crown-sr.
Joseph Middleton—HQ said, gelatin:in, we bah of us
bad somethinl,-; in our hand.
MAGlsiaa2E—No, I think rot.
Both the ltddletons (vehemently)—Yes, he did
Sarah Baddeley, a young woman who had lived with
the pris.-3uor I)ean, stated that the other four prisoners
were all at Lis house all the afternoon and evening up
to ten o'clock, the day 'before the robbery. She believed
they were away two hours, and returned about twelve;
but they had no clock in the house by which she could
tell the time. no prisoners, when they returned,
stopped at their house all night.
Bradley placed his eyes sternly on this witness when
she was giving her evidence, as if to intimidate her.
Several other x ttaesses were examined. one of whom
spoke to ,eLing Bradley and Joseph Middleton together
at a public-house at Al.lPrley, the morning after the rob-
bery, wh Bradley took from his waistcoat pocket a
watch like that pretcnct-d, to tell his companion the time.
The prisoners were nil committed for trial at the as-
siz but there are other charges against Bradley—one
of them being a charge of robbing a master silk-tbrowster
of his watch in the public road; and another, a charge of
stealing from a farm-house ou the morning after the bur-
glary above described.
