GERMANY.
There was a dangerous flood at Vienna on the 13th,
which destroyed all the bridges but one.
Eight hundred copies of the supplement to the
Allgerneinc Zeitung have been seized by the police in
Munich, and confiscated. The authorities acted on
instructions sent from Stuttgard by telegraph, and
were waiting for the packages, of whose contents
they were quite aware before they arrived. It is
stated that the zeal of the police has on this occasion,
for the first time, been rebuked by a high personage,
without whose knowledge the seizure was made, and
who was thereby deprived of his usual morning paper.
The cause of the confiscation is not given.
In Wiesbaden the police are also busy, but as re-
formers of the bad manners that have been introduced
since the revolution. A custom has grown up of
wearing the hat in the pit of the theatre in the pauses
between the acts, especially by the visitors from
Mayence, who are losing much of their German
formality in trifles. On two occasions the offenders
have been officially called to order, and warned of the
breach of decorum.
The Treasury of Baden has brought a formal ac-
tion against the widow of Bobning, one of the leaders
of the insurrection, executed in 1849, to recover a
sum of several millions of gulden, with a minimum
of one million, U the amount of the damage sustained
by the Treasury of the Duchy during the revolt.
That the widow can pay any part of it is out of the
question.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
layseroot.,Av 20. —There was a good attendance to-
day, and a fair demand for fresh wheat, which was quite as
dear. Stale and out of condition lots were rather cheaper,
Flour, both sack and barrel, being pressed for sale, rather
cheaper. Oats, oatmeal, and beans, each in good request it
rather better prices. Barley, malt, and peas, unchanged in
value. Indian corn dull of sale, at 6d ver quarter decline.

wheat, and millers bought very sparingly; holders, however,

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MAY 20.—The supply "1,,
wheat of all descriptions at market to-day was moderate, and
was readily taken off at the extreme prices of Saturday lest,
and in some instances more money was got. Grinding barley

dearer. In flour and other articles no change.

On the 17th inst., at Chiddingstone, Kent, the Rev. Henry

sth Fusiliers, to Elizabeth, eldest daugh-
ter of th late . Johnson, Esq., of Rlichaelstown, county

Gosford, 107 L, who deposed that the prisoner Lynn
had Leen left in his care ; after he had been taken into
the cell, and while sitting with him, I e asked him if
he had been at the raffle at the White Lion public-
house, on the night before, and he replied that he
had. He next inquired if he had left, the White Lion
with the other prisoners, who were there, and he said
e did, but added, that he had gone before them with
a young woman, down Vauxhall•walk, and parted
with her in Lambeth-walk, and that on his return be
saw the policeman lying dead.
Mr. Neill here complained of the conduct of the
sergeant in putting these questions to the prisoner,
without giving him the slightest caution, or anyinti-
mation that the answers he should give would be
used against him elsewhere.
Thomas Jones, a shoemaker, was here sworn, and
stated that on Monday morning, the sth instant, he
was locked up in one of the cells connected with the
court, on a charge of making away with a pair of
boot-uppers belonging to his employer, when the pri-
soner Harrington was brought in and locked up with
him. Soon after he heard him say that if he had 00
clinker in his hand he would split the policeman's
head into pieces.
In reply to the questions of the Magistrate, the
witness said, that it was about nine O'clock in Or
morning that those assertions were made by the pri-
soner, who was lying on one of the seats at the time,
but not asleep.
In reply to a question as to how often he had been
in prison, he declared that he had never been locked
up before the morning in question.
Mr. Games applied for the discharge of FaheYl
William Burke, Shanahan, and Slattery, against
whom, he contended, there was not a tittle of evi-
dence.

Mr. Neill also applied for the discharge of Thomes
.
Burke, Lynn, and Harrington, and said that swans;
the former two there was no evidence whatever, sou
that, notwithstanding the strange evidence given
.14
the shoemaker against the latter, there was nothing
to justify his further detention.
Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that in a charge so serious
as the present he felt it to be his duty to remand the
whole of the prisoners, to give the officers engaged.!U
the case sufficient time to make all the necessary 01'
quiries, and get up the evidence ; but after the state-
ments that had been made, and the evidence giyen,.be
did not consider that he should be justified in detain:
ing any of the prisoners besides Cane, Hickey, sr
M'Ellyott, against whom the evidence was sub'
ciently strong to send them for trial on the charge 0
murder. Harrington he should also remand to s
future day with the other three prisoners, and all al°
others should be discharged.
The court, during the investigation, was much
crowded.

THAMES.
Yesterday, William Edwards, a labourer, will
brought up on remand, before Mr. Ingham, charge!,
on a Custom-house information with carrying and
conveying 10 pints and a quarter of rum, the duty 011
the same not having been first paid and secured, bf
which he had incurred a penalty of 1001. He ear.;
neatly pleaded not guilty to the information, and said
he was an innocent man.
It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon the prisoner
was met by a police-constable named Barnes, No. 881
11, in Church-lane, Whitechapel, and suspecting that
he had contraband property in his possession 11.8
stopped him, and naked him what he had under his
coat, to which he replied nothing. Barnes took from
him a bundle, consisting of a handkerchief, in NvWeb
were two bladders containing rum. Before thef
were oper.ed the prisoner said he did not know what
they contained. The skins were delivered to WAY"
a custom-house officer, who seized them in due form
on the part of the Crown. They contained 1 gallon
and s.l6ths of a gallon of rum, 23 under proof.
The prisoner, in defence, said a gentleman with
carpet bag in his hand, met him in Whitechapel, 1113.‘`
asked him if he was out of employment, and on ills
.
replying in the affirmative, gave him the handercluet
containing the skins, and said he was to carry the
bundle to Spitalfields, where he promised to meet bon
and give him a shilling for the job.
Mr. INGHAM—Who is this gentleman ? Prisoner
—I don't know. I never saw him before.
Mr. INGHAM thought the case might have been
made the subject of a summary proceeding, wit.b"t
en information.
Mr. Cornell said the quantity of rum cr real spirit
had been considerably reduced by its being so much
under proof. It was valued, with the duty, at 151.
per gallon.
Mr. INGHAM fined the prisoner 11001., and, in de-
fault of payment, committed him to prison for
six months. He recommended him to memorialise
the Board of Customs for a mitigation of punish-
meat.
