UMAN V.

The Prussian Parliament met on the 3d.
imme-
diately„ after reading the minutes of the la't sitting,
the J.:resident, Count RITTBERG, addressed the depu-
ting... May tt.e dais we have
lshel-lipper Chamber, met at eleven o'clock ;
..ties in the following terrns:—
. " I bid you welcome after an interruption of our sit-
fatallrea and under the protection of a brave army have
passed in the circle of our

lent us strength for renewed labours. May we have been
strengthened in attachment to the King and his house,
and in devotion to our country, so that we can show by
deeds that pat' lotic feeling which is common to every
Prussian. Tra hopes I expressed before the adjourn-
men:, that we might meet again under better aus-
pices for the country, have unhappily not been ful-
filled. The measures adopted in a neighbouring state,
the setting aside the constitution, and tho enforcement
of military authority by way of execution, are measures
that must fill with sorrow the heart of every Prussian
who is accustomed to see such measures enforced only
after a judicial sentence, and then they are only jus-
tified when they conduce to the re-establishment of public
order.—(Applanse.)

" But if this hope is not fulfilled, I may repeat the old
motto.' Per aspera ad antra', through sorrows and suffer-
ings to the good end. May the sorrows belong to the past,
and may those who in another place are deliberating on the
fate of Germany effect a union adapted to the circum-
stances. May the Governments that are engaged in
such important negotiations feel that we regard the
Union as necessary, that we shall consider it necessary
even when it has to be purchased by sacrifices. A good
common understanding is not conceivable without mu-
tual sacrifices from all parties. May the Governments
succeed in securing to us an unarmed peace, and rees-
tablishing security and order in Germany, so that the
whole attention of the States and their representatives
may be directed to the internal affairs of each country.
May God's blessings be on our counsels, that they may
tend to the welfare of the nation and the good of all
classes of the population."

It was resolved to postpone the adjourned debate on
the address to the next sitting. In the Second Cham-
ber MANTEUFFEL was present. A motion by STAHL
for the adjournment of the debate on the address sins
die. was negatived.

The Kolner Zeitung states from Berlin that the
Governments of Austria and Prussia intend to estab-
lish certain principles respecting the Constitutions of
the various German States, and to insist on their ac-
ceptation by the Dresden Congress. These principles
are—first, that the Estates shall not be entitled to refuse
the supplies ; second, that the armies shall not take
their oaths on the Constitution ; and third, that the
judges shall not be competent to decide as to the
legality of the Sovereigns decrees. The Kolner
Zeitung adds that these principles are already estab-
lished in the Charter of the Prussian Constitution,
but it adds that their absence deprives the charter of
anything like a legal guarantee.
Oa the 2d MANTEUFFEL was at Dresden for a few
hours, and had a conference with Prince SCHWATZEN•
BURG and with the Bavarian Minister.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Toe Federal Commissioners arrived at Hamburgh
on the 2d. It is said that the Statdholderate will re-
sist to the last and will yield only to force.
The Commander of the Holstein army has ad-
dressed the following general order to the troops:—
" While I offer my sincerest congratulations to the
army at the commencement of this new year, I express
my firm convicdon that the troops will meet the im-
pending serious events with courage and fortitude. _

‘IrON DER HORST."

APPREHENSION OF A BURGLAR AT INGRESS PARK-
-Late on Saturday ❑ight, or rather early on Sunday morn-
ing, a burglar was apprehended at Ingress Park, the seat of
James Harmer, Esq. It appears that several of the work-
ing men of the neighbourhood had been regaling themselves
at the Brown Bear public-house in the village; and one of
them, who lives at Swanscombe, being overcome with liquor,
a companion of his; named Crane, accompanied him home, to
protect him from injury. On passing through the park in
his return home, a man met Crane, and after accosting him,
altered the course he was going, and walked beside Crane,
who was a little fresh; and presently Crane felt the fellow's
hand in his pocket. He immediately seized the stranger,
and a struggle ensued between them, when fortunately an in-
habitant of Greenhithe, named Yallens, came up, and the
man was secured. As they were on their way to place him
in the hands of a constable, he threw something over the rails
of the iron fence which line the pathway from the park
grounds. His captors, however, did not wait to examine
what it was lest they might lose their prisoner, but marked the
spot with their feet; and on examining it the next morning,
they found a bundle containing upwards of thirty picklock
keys. On giving the prisoner into the custody of the con-
stable he was searched, and all the apparatus of a regular
cracksman were found upon him—keys, lucifer matches, life-
preserver, &c. ; and in his breast pocket a large clasp-knife,
with a spring to keep it securely open, and render it a des-
perate weapon for mischief. He was taken to Dartford, and
will undergo an examination to-day before Mr. Espinasse.
There can be no doubt that by this timely apprehension a
burglary, and perhaps a murder was prevented, as it is be-
lieved that the prisoner was on his way to meet his accom-
plices at an appointed rendezvous.

REGISTERED LETTERS.—The Postmaster-General
has given orders that all the town-receiving houses in the
kingdom shall resume receiving registered letters, a practice
which had for some time ceased.

THE WINDOW TAX,—A public meeting of the
inhabitants of the borough of D.vonport is to be held
shortly, for the purpose of petioning Parliament in favour of
a repeal of the window tax.

COOL IMPUDENCL-One New Year's-day, during
the trial of a prisoner at the North Riding sessions, on a
charge of robbery, which robbery was effected in a crowd on
the Islorthallerton racecourse, the Rev. T. W. Morley said he
was once in a crowd in Loudon, and felt some one put his
hand into his pocket. He turned round and said to a man
behind him, " You bad your hand in my pocket " " Yes,
sir, replied the thief, and lam sorry to say I found no-
thing in IL"

The preliminaries of an approaching royal mar-
riage have been arranged between his Highness Prince
George of Mecklenburgh Strelits and the Grand Duchess
Catherine of Russia. The Hereditary Grand Duke and
Duchess, now iu this country, are expected to be present at
the nuptials, which will probably take place in March.
Field• Marshal Grosvenor, General Sir Thomaa
Bradford, and Lieutenant. General Anderson, colonel of the
78th Highlanders, are, according to last accounts, exceed.
ingly ill.

ST. STEPHEN'S, WALultooß.—This church, for
the first time after its complete renovation, was opened yes-
terday. The Lord Bishop of London preached in the morn-
ing, and the; Rev. Dr. Croly in the evening. A liberal
collection was made at both services.

NEW TOWN HALL FOR LEEDS.—At a meeting of
the Town Council at Leeds on Wednesday, a committee was
appointed to consider what steps should be taken to secure
the erection of a new town-hall and other corporate build-
ings, an attempt to raise the required sum by subscription
having failed.

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday, an inquest was
held at the King's Arms, Prestbury, before S. ?rues, Esq.,
coroner, on the body of William Leddiard, a butcher re-
siding in that village. Deceased was in his usual health on
Sunday morning when he went into his field to look after a
colt, and in about half an hour afterwards he was found
lying in the hedge quite dead. It is supposed that he was
seised with a fit, and a verdict was :returned accordingly.
Deceased was brother to Leddiard, bill poster, of this town.

PONTEFRACT.—DEATH OF MRS. HANNAH SHEP
11E411.-Our obituary this week contains the lamented death
of Mrs. Hannah Shepherd, of Pontefract, in the Gist year of
her age. For many years she was a most devoted and con-
sistent member of the Methodist society. Humility, meek-
ness, gentleness, and benevolence adorned her character.
Her well-principled earnest piety triumphed over bodily in-
firmity. She loved the Sabbath and sanctuary of God. Her
last words were expressive of assured peace and settled faith
in Jesus. The crowded congregation at her funeral sermon
on Sunday evening indicated the general respect felt by the
public. Subjoined is a list of her legacies:--6001. to the poor
of Pontefract and Tanshel, the interest to be divided into two
parts, one portion to be distributed by the vicar and the other
by the Wesleyan Methodists, annually, at Christmas, for
ever; 5001., the interest to her servant for life, and after her
decease to the Wesleyan Missionary Society ; 100/. to the
Wesleyan Missionary secretary, within six months; 1001. to
the Chapel and Education Fund ; 1001. to the Theological In-
stitution ; 100/. to the Worn-out Preachers' Fund ; 100/. to
the Kingswood and Woodhouse Grove Schools; 100/. to the
chapel at Pontefract; 100/. to the Sunday-school at ditto;
100/. to the Sick Society at ditto; 1001. to the Church Mis-
sionary Society; 100/. to the British and Foreign Bible So-
ciety; 50/. to the Pontefract Dispensary; to each member of
her class a Bible, value one guinea. The residue is to be
equally divided between the Wesleyan Missionary Society
and Cie Worn-out Wesleyan Ministers' Fund.—Doncaster
Gazette.

REMARKABLE Fox.—A very large fox was shot
last Friday in the parish of Dyke. He was :long familiarly
known over that part of the country as the Cripple Tod, from
the fact of his having lost the power of one of his fore feet.
He measured full 48 inches in length, and weighed 161/2 lbs.
A post morton examination disclosed several old wounds and
bruises, such as foxes are heirs to, from guns and traps. His
lame leg was the result of a wire snare which he literally
had put his foot into. Finding his cunning unable to undo
the noose, he had pulled it till the wire cut through both
skin and flesh. The wound was quite healed over, and the
loop was found firmly clasping the bone. At another time
he had made a narrow escape from a charge of slugs, one of
which was fixed in the bone of his nose, and several others
in his tail. On another occasion the bone of one of his
ancles hal. been shattered with shot, and again another had
broke one of his thighs. Yet in spite of all these hair-breadth
escapes, he was until he received the fatal shot a constant
intruder in farm yards, where his celebrity as a poultry
killer was notorious. He is to be restored as near as the
buffer's art can make him resemble life.—lnverness Courier.
SUSPECTED MURDEE._Yesterday morning the
body of a man, respectably attired in a blue paletot, black
satin waistcoat, and dark trowsers, was found lying partly
on the towing-path, with the head in the canal, near the Old
Ford-bridge, Bethnal-green. The body of the unfortunate
man bore marks of violence. Nothing of value was found on
his person, and it is strongly suspected that he has been
robbed and murdered. The corpse was conveyed to the
Queen's Arms beer-house, Green-street, Bethnal.green,
where it awaits the coroner's inquest.

THE AUTHOR ON JUNIUS.—The American jour-
nals have set up a claim for the honour, on behalf of Go-
neral Lee, and assert that he had privately avowed himself
to be the author.

LONGEVITY.—Died, in the parish of Lanchester,
Durham, Dec. 27, 1850, Thomas Milburn, born Oct. 11.
1743, and consequently 107 years and three months old.
Ile bag been an agricultural labourer, and was in the
ses,ion of good lie.lth and all his faculties until a few weeks
previous to his death.

Dn. PUSEY.—We understand that the Doctor was
in 1 his neighbourhood about ten or twelve days since, when
it is possible that he shrived some or all of the Sisters of
Mercy ; as he now confesses that he does that kind of
thing in four di.,ce:ses. If it be an honourable or a proper
duty fur a " priest " of the Establishment to perform, why
are the Doctor's visits so mysterious ? He comes down here
frequently—so we are told—and the Bishop's mock inquiry
brought out the fact, that he slept in the house, at that time,
of the Sisters of Mercy. Of course, being an elderly gentle-
man, and b 0 verS• pious, there could be nothing wrong in
that. Plumoutle Journal.

We regret to hear that Sir Philip de Mulpas
Grey-Egerton, Bart., of Oulton Park, M.P. fur South

is recovering.

CRIMINAL COURT-(Tl-ITS DAY.)
The January seszions of the .Central Criminal Court
wa; opened this morning Wore th;t Right Hen. the Lord
Mayer, the Right Eon. the itccord;-., the Common Stu--
geant, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, Mr. Alderman hunter,
Mr. Alderman Lawrence, and Sheritrs Careen and I-Iod;•
kinsan.

The calendar contains the names of 109 prisoners, in-
cluding, among others, 8 charges of burglary, 4 of cut-
ting and wounding with intent, 7 of embezzlement, 3
of forgery, 1 of manslaughter, 28 of larcuray, end 1
of rape.
The grand jury baying been sworn,

The REOORDER proceeded to deliver his charge. He
said although so short a time had elapsed since the last ses-
sion there were unfortunately a considerable number of
prisoners for trial. He was, hewere:, glad to be able to
congratulate the grand jury once mere upon the fact that
the calendar did not present many cases of a very serious
character, with such exceptions as he should presently al-
lude to; end again he was harpy to find that the word
" murder" did not occur in the list of effences which
would be brought before them. With re gard to the
character of the effeneee generally, cases of great
violence and cruelty were in small number, and, as was
the case generally at this particular session of the court,
the charges consisted of what the law termed larceny.
Among these last were cases of common theft and theft
from the person; and it was a circumstance which he
was happy to observe, that the number of cases of theft
from the person had considerably diminished, a fact
which he was willing to attribute to the vigilance of the
police. There was another clue of thefts, tamely, by
servants from their masters and mistresses, and he was
happy to say that there were fewer of that class
in the calendar than almost at any former
period. With respect to that class of of-
fences, something that was supposed to have fallen
from him on a former occasion had been so entirely mis-
understood that perhaps the grand jury would permit
him to say what his impression was upon that subject.
He was supposed to have said by some persons that there
was a general practice of hiring domestic servants with-
out inquiring into their characters, and of seeking to
obtain their services at low wages; and the natural con-
sequence was that such servants robbed their employers,
and that the circumstance of their receiving no wages
palliated, and even excused, the offence. Ho was riot
conscious of using any language which he thought would
bear that construction, and he trusted he never uttered
anything so absurd. All that he meant to say was with
the view of preventing the commission of crimes of that
kind and not their punishment. All who had
watched from time to time the proceedings of that
court would have observed that the offence of stealing
from employers was uniformly punished with rigour and
severity. What he did say, or meant to have said,
was this—that there were cases which had come before
this Court where, undoubtedly, the remuneration given
to the servants was so small that the parties were exposed
to greater temptation in consequence of the extremely
small wages that were given for their services ; and
that by giving servants more reasonable remuneration
for their services, that class of crimes would probably
be diminished. Domestic servants were a class who
had least of all to complain; but whoa he found that
young women were found serving an maids of all work
at ls. or ls. 6d. a week, and having to find themselves in
everything except board and lodging; and when he
found that many shopmen and errand boys were hired
at a very low rate of wages, and in some cases with no
money wages at all; and more especially, as in one case
which had recently come before tho Court, where no
money wages had been given, and where the servant
was entrusted with money belonairtee to his employer, he
(the Recorder) said, and he said again, that such a state
of things was an exposing of them to temptation. The
Learned Recorder then referred to two cases of man-
slaughter is the calendar, and then proceeded. The
only other case he had to refer to was one
which had attracted a great deal of public
notice. It was a charge against two persons
in a better class of life, named Sloane, for the
cruel treatment of a child or young woman intrusted
to their service. If the charges which were likely to be
made against those persons were sustained, there was no
doubt that their atrocity would well justify the indigna-
tion that had been raised in the public mind. But it was
their and his duty to take care that the even tenor of
justice was not disturbed by passion or prejudice. They
must never lose sight of that principle of the English
law which entitled every man accused of an offence to a
fair trial, and bound every man interested in the adminis-
tration of the law not to prejudge a setae. If the charge
was made out then was the time when indig-
nation might fairly be expressed ; but the
grand jury and himself were there to administer
the law, and to speak their minds, as far as they could,
unbiassed and unaffected by the indignation which the
nature of the charge itself might excite. He did not
know exactly the form in which the charge would be
brought before the grand jury, but he had reason to
believe that those two persons would be jointly charged
with having taken this young woman into their service,
and failed, to provide her with necessary food for her
maintenance; secondly, they would be charged with
various assaults, with endeavouring to force her to
swallow the excrement from her own person, with ex-
posing her to cold, with making her work without suffi-
cient clothing, with striking her with a shoe on the hand
at various times. With regard to the first charge,
that of failing to provide her with necessary food, there
was no doubt that in point of law if any person took
another into his service of so tender an age as to be un-
able to provide for herself or himself, under those eh-
cumstances the law imposed upon the master or mistress
the absolute duty of providing sufficient food for the
maintenance and preservation of their servant. If that
was omitted and death ensued the offence would be
either manslaughter or murder, according to the pecu-
liar circumstances of the case. If death did not ensue,
as was happily the fact in this case, it was unquestion-
ably a misdemeanour at common law, for which
the parties might be indicted and punished.
Some little difficulty occurred in this case
in consequence of the husand and wife being
joined together in the indictment. If it should appear
in this case that the husband had not supplied the wife
with the means of giving sustenance to the child, it
would be difficult to convict her of such offence; but he
(the Recorder) was informed by reading the depositions
that no such defence as that was likely to be made, as
there were provisions on the premises, to which the
wife had access. A further question might arise, how
tar she acted under the coercion of her husband;
but it had been held that as regarded assaults and mis-
demeanours the wife might be indicted jointly with the
husband if they concurred in the same act. With regard
to the other injuries, the forcing into her mouth the
filth from her own person, and the forcing her to do her
work without sufficient clothing, those were acts as well
of commission, as of omission, and they were offieeces for
which the husband and wife might be jointly indicted.
if the servant in.this case was a child of tender years,
and unable to provide fur herself sufficient food
for her maintenance, she would be justified
in indicting her master and mistress for
starving or assaulting her whilst she was in their service.
The Learned Recorder founded this opinion upon a
dictum delivered by Mr. Justice Lawrence in 1797.
Having charged the grand jury to dismiss from their
minds whatever they knew of this from their intercourse
cut of doors, the Learned Gentleman then remitted them
to their duties.

The grand jury then retired, and the Court proceeded
to swear the petty jury.

BOW-STREET.7(THIS DAY.)

A young man, named John Jelfreys, having the ap-
pearance of a stableman, was charged with assaulting a
police-constable.
The officer stated that late on Saturday night he ob-
served the prisoner in company with two notorious
thieves, and followed them into Drury-lane, where the
prisoner separated from his companions and retired to a
house in Charles-street. Witness, who was anxious to
find out where he lived, walked their behind him, and
was looking up at the house, when the prisoner opened
the second floor window and emptied a chamber utensil
over him. Witness, assisted by another constable, then
entered the house, and went up stairs to the second
floor, where they found the prisoner at the door flourish-
ing a poker, and threatening that he would " mash,'
them if they came near him. They succeeded in get-
ting the poker from him, and ultimately took him
to the station. On the way there the prisoner, who
had been previously very violent, said, " If you will take
your Lands off I will go quietly," which witness did, but
it would seem only to give the prisoner an opportunity
of striking him. Not content with that, however, the
prisoner ulso knocked him down and kicked him dread-
fully on the shins.

Dar. HALL asked him what he had to say 7—The
prisoner denied having thrown the dirty water over the
officer.
Mr. HALL—WeII, what do you say to the assault?
Prisoner—lt's no use my saying anything, because my
word won't be taken against his; but it's all false what
he has been telling of yon.
The (,flicer said he had once before been in custody,
and fined for an assault.
Mr. HALL sentenced him this time to 14 clap' impri-
sonment in the House of Cormotion.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(TIIISDAY.)
ROBBERY.—George Illacdenald was brought before
Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing two glasses, the
property of Mr. John Gurton, licensed victualler, No.
10, Old Bond-street. The prosecutor deposed that on
Saturday afternoon he saw the prisoner go into his par-
lour, and in two or three minutes, having suspicion, he
went to the door and watched him, end saw him looking
at two ale glasses by the gas light. The prisoner then
put them into his coat pocket, and witness directly sent
fir a constable. The prisoner then came to the tar and
called for a pint of porter. Witness told him to take
the glasses out of his pocket, which he did, and placed
them on the counter, and begged of prosecutor to let
him go. Witr.ess refused and gave lkiin into custody.
Since, 120 C, said he received chsrge of the prisoner
and tho glasses now produced. On the way to the
station the prisoner said he took the glasses, and he
did not know what could have possevcd him to do so.
A former conviction baiting been proved against the
prisoner, he was fully committed for trial.

WESTMINSTER.-(THIS DAY.)
Ann Gardener wa.,l charged with obtaining by false
pretnces three valuable shawls and other property from
Mrs. Moore, of the Queen's household.

John Jennings, assistant to the proseeutrix. stated
Viet on Saturday morning the pi-Loner canto to the shop
and said she wa3 s,,nt by Mrs. Mooro, housekeeper to
the Queen, for some shawls and boas, end that tho Vt2s
ti take them. He did not know a person of that name,
but served her with three shawls, valued at 41., and also
with some ftßs. He showed her a vantity, from which

s'Ne .elected three valued at nearly 30s. In the course of
the conversation, whits serving her, she stated that she
was a !lei3e of Mrs. Moore, and they were excellent custo-
►ners to the house; she requested that the :articles might
be packed at o7)ce, but suspicion being excited they de-
clined to let her take the things, and they were sent by a
porter to the Palace, when it was discovered that no
person of the name of :.'deore was attached in any capa-
city to the Palace.

The prisoner in defence said that she was sent by a
person near the Palace whom she did not know.

Another person who was present said that sho had
come to their shop under the same circumstances, but he
did not wish to press; the charge.
Mr. BRODERIP remanded the prisoner for a week for
the productio❑ of fresh evidence.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY.

Our letters from the leading provincial markets held
on Saturday state that the demand for both English and
foreign Wheats, the supplies of which were seasonably
extensive, ruled exceedingly heavy, at a further decline
in the quotations of is per quarter. Barley was again
lower to purchase, whilst the value of Malt, Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour had a downward tendency.
The latest advices from New York represent the
Flour trade as somewhat active. In the Black Sea
ports several large purchases of Wheat have been
effected for shipment to England, whilst the Flour trade
in Franco is still active, but without any improvement
in value.

The arrivals of all English Grain up to our market last
week were small; but upwards of 11,000 quarters of
Oats came to hand from Ireland. The imports from
abroad were large, viz., 23,114 quarters of Wheat, 6,452
Barley, 5,396 Oats, 420 Beans, 489 Peas, 2,336 Linseed,
432 Rapeseed, 50 sundry seeds, 3,342 sacks and 5,342

Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of
Wheat from Essex and Kent were ♦ery moderate, and
of but middling quality. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Cambridgeshire, &c., the supply per railway was
small, and greatly out of condition, arising in some mea-
sure from the long-prevailing damp weather. The
show of samples of both red and white was compara-
tively small, yet it was fully adequate to the wants of
the millers, whose attendance was limited; Nevertheless
we may consider the trade steady, and a far clearance
was effected at prices equal to those of Monday last.
The number of offers from the east coast to ship
Wheat was on the increase; but we heard of very few
transactions for forward delivery, as both town and
country buyers still refuse to purchase beyond their im-
mediate wants.

ire—;verE.,uaC;re extensively supplied with fresh foreign
wheat than for some weeks past, but the proportion of
really fine qualities fit for mixing was small. For all
kinds the demand was in a sluggish state, but wo have
no change to notice in the currencies.
Fine Barley was in improved request, at full prices.
To the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little was
doing, and in some instances prices ruled the turn in
favour of the buyers.

Although the show of Malt ready for delivery was
trilling, that article moved of 7 slowly at barely late rates.
The quantify of Oats being on the increase, the Oat
trade ruled dull, and damp parcels were a shade lower.
Beans—the cupply of which was not large—met a
very dull inquiry, at barely late figures.
In Peas, next to nothing was doing; but we have no
actual fall to notice in their value.
Indian Corn was held at full prices.
A fair amount of business was doing both in English
and Foreign Flour, at last week's prices.

Notwithstanding that the weather on the continent has
been comparatively mild for some time past, the imports
of foreign stock into London, last week, were small—the
total supply having been confined to 1,555 head. During
the corresponding week in 1850, we received 507; in
1849, 1,142; and in 1848, 1,225 head.
