GERMAN PAPERS.

(From the Political Gazette of Munich.)
ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 21.—Every body here is in
fear for tie Emperor Nicholas, who is inexpressediy be-
loved, since it is known that, on his return from Bo-
hemia, he will stop in Poland, and the address,
which was presented to the Emperor some time ago
in Finland, is not yet foreotten. At that time
200 Poles, excited by the clubs, had conspired against the
life of the Emperor ; the treasonable project was to
have been carried into effect on his way to Riga. Several
assassins, with foreign passports and false names, had
arrived in the environs, and in Lithuania. Information
was received of the intention, and they were arrested.
The Emperor behaved admirably on that occasion. He is
a stranger to fear, and appears every where without any
escort. This Monarch, so rich in virtues, as firm and
resolute on the throne as faithful and affectionate as a
husband and a father, in whose heart every noble feeling
has a place, is beloved, nay, adored, in the empire, in as
high a degree as he is in some instances depreci-
ated and calumniated in foreign countries. History
appreciates his life and judges his actions. A correct judg-
ment is seldom made by contemporaries wrought upon by
the influence of party writers. Thus some months ago,
a German paper stated, in the strictest conformity with
truth, that no confiscations had taken place in the kingdom
of Poland. The Messager of Paris protested against this
statement, and appealed to the advertisements in the
Moniteur relative to the sales of confiscated estates. Now
all these are in Vollaynia and Lithuania, and, therefore,
not within the frontiers of the kingdom of Poland.
We may add, that the afessager had the less rea-
son to complain of the punishment of rebels and
the confiscation of their property, seeing that Its
own Government has but lively sentenced several
Ventleans to death, and ordered the confiscation of their
pr"p-rty.

MUNICH, OCT s.—Some sensation is excited here by
the presence f Count Augustus Calm d'lstria., who
held the Government of Greece for some time afrer the
death pf his elder brother. The Count, who has been
here for these four days, and spends his time in seeing
every thing remarkable, will wait for the return of the
King, and the celebration of the Olden festival, and then
return through Italy to Corfu. It is said that among the
motives of his visit are the claims which his family make
open Greece. to the amount, it is reported, of half a
million of Spanian dollars

RUSSIAN EXACTIONS UPON BRITISH
MErtefiAtirs.—We are informed that the fines paid durin:
the last twelve months to the Russian Government, by
shippers of goods it this port (Hull), in cons: quence of
trivial errors in bills of lading, amount to 1,000/. One
merchant bid to pay 1401. for a single error of this de-
scription. The sum of 861. was exacted from a re-pect-
able house, owing to the erasure of the word " Nett" in
one of the seven sets of bills ; and on a subsequent oeca
sion a h,avy fine was imposed for erasing the letters lbs.
alter the figures expressing their weight. T• e merchant
was alra compelled to pay several roubles for the stamp on
the receipt which the Russian Government gives on taking
the money, Another respectable firm was fined 301. for
putting, by mistake, some hone handled knives in a parcel
at ivory handled knives. Toe consequence has been OIL
two respectable shipping houses at t.iis port hive de
elined shipping any more goods to Petersburgh; and a
shipping agent, who has for years laid on vessels foi Pe-
tershorgh, has given
,up laying any more for Russia.—

Mr. ANDERTON seconded the amendment, and
' said if the Duke of Sussex knew the real cause of
he misunderstanding which had arisen between the
medical officers and the Committee he would still
be President of the Institution. It would be unne-
cessary for him to say any thing of the conduct of
those officers, and be would purposely refrain from
doing so, in order to avoid any cause of exciting
personal feeling. He had a great respect for some
of the medical gentlemen, and particularly for Dr.
Clutterbuck, who, he trusted, meant no personal
insult at a former meeting, when he quoted from
Cato. The medical press, however, he must say,
never was more degraded than by the course whist,
it had pursued in this affair. He more particularly
alluded to the _Medical Gazette. The medical
officers had resigned, they said, because they could
not accede to the principle which regulated the ap-
pointment of the physician and surgeons of the in-
stitution, yet it was a well-known fact that the same
principle was aced on in many other dispensaries—
for instance, in the London, the Ciipplegate, and
the East London Dispensaries. If the principle
uas good for these he did not see why it should not
be good for the Aldersgate Dispensary. For his
part he saw no reason why the election should b
confined to two classes. It ought to be open to all
practitioners, as well as to physicians and surgeons.
The medical officers seemed now anxious to come
back.—(No, no.) Then why the acrimony dis-
played by them, and why use every exertion and
unfair means to deter others from filling up the va-
cancies?—(Loud applause.) He was happy to state
that two physicians and two surgeons had offered
themselves, and that these gentlemen were equal in
point of medical knewledge arid surgical skill to
those who had retired.—(Applause.)
air. COULSON said, if he did not know the ex-
cellent characters of the mover and seconder of the
amendment, he should have thought they came
I here as the agents of a party ; but, knowing their
characters, he was sure, had they waited for his
observations, they would not have refused to ac-
cede to the proposition of the Rev. Doctor for
agreeing to an amnesty. He had now to declare
for himself, and also on the part of his colleagues,
that they intended no personal imputation on Mr.
Herring, the Treasurer, derogatory to his cha-
racter as a gentleman or a tradesman. They did
not mean any personal offence. They could not
agree to the principle adopted by the Committee,
and, rather than come to any collision, proposed
resigning their situations. They considered that
such a principle was incompatible with the interests
of the Institution, and a due regard to the medical
profession.—(Hisses.) As a proof that they meant
nothing derogatory to the character of the gentle-
men composing the Committee, he had only to
state that they had acted in perfect harmony with
the Committee for many years. He and his co!-
leagues declaimed any personal feeling; and if there
were any grounds for supposing that such a feeling
exis•ed, that supposition must have arisen from
mi-construction of the words made use of in their
statement. He tru-red, therefore, that the resolu-
tion moved by Mr. Pritchett would be adopted,
and the law of election be fairly discussed.
Mr. HERRING wished to make a few observations

in defence of himself. Imputations hail been cast
on his character which could not he subnot!ed to

try any respectable tradesman. It was said no-
thing improper was imputed to him as a tradesman;
but if that were the fact, why was the asterisk
affixed to his name? How came it that he and
those with whom he acted were in precisely the
sasee situation they were in before? It was rather
extraordinary to come forward, after a lapse of six
weeks, and use this conciliatory language? He
would do Mr. Coulson the justice to say that, when
he said the statements were not true, he cal ed on
him and offered to use his influence with the other
medical officers, and persuade them to express their
regret, but not one of them would make an apo.
logy. He would pledge him.elf, however, that he
would be ready to shake hands with any 411 them
to-morrow, whichever way the discussion ended;
but he would not consent to a course of proceeding
which would be injurious to the Institution, and to
the poor for whom it was established. At that mo-
ment he still stood branded by them as a die-
reputable tradesman, though they knew that what
they had stated was not true. They had declared that
a law was broken, and the Treasurer had broken it
for the purpose of favouritism. But the fact was
the medical officers wanted to legislate for the In-
stitution, and while he had the power, he would
not allow any one to infringe its laws.—(Applause.)
He thought the officers were varying from the ori-
ginal object of the Institution, for the purpose of
making it a medical school. He had a great regard
for science, but a still greater regard for the benefit
of the poor; he would, therefore, support the
amendment, because, if it were not adored, he
must go forth to the public with a stain on his cha-
racter.—(Applause.)
Colonel TORRENS thought the apology of 1.v..
Coulson amply sufficient. He could see no reason
for opposing a resolution which merely pledges the
meeting to peace and kindly feeling.
Mr. ALCOCK said he was one who signed the re-
quisition, and he must say it would be improper to
continue the Committee, without having it re-mo-
A direct falsehood had been used, in order
to obtain his slgnature.—(Gieat uproar.' The
Committee had violated the second him" of the Li-
siitution—one doctor had seventy patients on his
list at the same time.—(Hissing and laughter.)
Mr. SALMON said he did not attend the meeting
to retract a single syllable. The circular required
no explanation. It merely stated that the law in
question was rescinded by a certain portion of the
Governors. The asterisk was placed at Mr. Hc.,rring's
name, merely to illustrate the fact that the Trea-
surer was the druggist of the Institution. Let no
one sups ose that they had any wish to return to
office. The principle involved in the new law pre-
vented them, and according to the adoption or re-
j,etion of that principle, the Institution would fall
or rise.

After a few words from Mr. NORRIS and Mr.
CLARKE,
Dr. BIRKBECK said the medical officers had not
stated that Mr. Herring was the cause of putting
aside the old regulation. They merely asserted a
tact which coald not be denied, that he was Trea-
-urer and droggi-t to the Institution. Mr. Coulson
Was not authorised to make any apology for the
m,d cal (.ffic.-rs--,h,y n,eded n. apology.
After some observations from Mr. Burke and
other members, and replies from Dr. Russell and
Mr. Hewett, the amendment was put to the vote,
and carried by a great maj
Mr. GROOME then moved a resolution expressive
of their regret at the respiation of the Duke of
Sussex, which was agreed to.
In reply to a goesoon, Dr. BIRKBECK said that
not the slightest attempt had been made to influ• net-
the mind of his Royal Highness. His resignation
was Purely volumaty.
Mr STRACEY moved a resolution to the effect
that the caus.s assigned tiy the medical officeis dui
o
ut justify the proceeding, but it was finally with-
drawn on the ground that it was in opposition to the
amendment which had been agteed to
The knowing resolution was then agreed to :--

ATTEMPTED FRAUD.—Ann Ward and Ann Sted-
man, the former about twenty-seven and the latter
about seventeen years of age, were yesterday placed
at the bar, charged by Mr. Henry Hernden, No.
55 A. Edgware-road, as follows :—Prosecntor, on
his return home from the City on Saturday afternoon
found the two prisoners sitting in his shop, and was
informed by his shopman that they had selected
some goods to the amount of 125., in payment of
which they had tendered a 51. country bank note.
Witness then inquired as to how they became pos-
sessed of it : and in reply the first witness said they
had taken it in the country, but she could not tell
where. He then asked them if they would leave it;
when they answered in the negative, and went
away. In about two hours afterwards they returned,
and requested the loan of 30s. on the note, which
he refused to lend, but told them if they would come
on Monday (yesterday) morning they should have
the goods and the change. He at the same time
advanced them one shilling, when, having given
him the note, they went away. On carefully exa-
mining the note after they had gone he found that
it belonged to the Carmarthenshire bank, and wa,
made payable to the bearer for value received at the
house of Dorset, Johnson, Wilkinson, Reeves, and
Tilson, bankers, London. No such firm existed.
On the prisoners again making their appearance
yesterday morning he caused them to be taken into
custody.

Mr. RAWLINSON here desired the prisoner Sted-
man to be taken out, which having been done, he
put several questions to Ward, in reply to which she
stated that Stedman was her cousin, and that they
had been living as •ervants at the house of Mr. Wat-
kins, farrn,r, Cherdsley, near Worcestershire, till
Sunday f,rtnight, when they left, receiving a 101
note, the amount of the wagi•s due to them bo•h.
Having a few shillings with them they did not make
away with the note till they arrived ,at Oxford, where
it was changed by a linen •draper, who gave them the
note now produced and five sovereigns for it. She
could not tell in what street the linen-draper's shop
was situated.

Stedman was then called in, and gave a similar
account as to their being servants together, and the
posst,s4on of the produced .5/. note. _ _

Mr. RAWLINSON then ordered them to be remanded

•d 1 Wednesday, and directed that inquiries should in
he mean time be made at Cher,lsley as to whether
hat part of their statement was correct.

THE CONVERTED JEW.— Yest, ids)., Judith Isaac
Abrahams as brought up in ens' tidy, and placed
at the liar before Messrs. GREGORIE and WHITE,
charged with creating a disturbance at Zion Chapel,
in the Waterloo-road, Lambeth, and insulting the
Rev. S. Haslam, the Minister of the chapel, on Sun-
day morning last.
The Magistrate asked the defendant who he was.
Abrahams—l am the Rev. Judith Isaac Abra-
hams, a converted Jew, and I preach the go:pel of
Christ who was crucified to the Jews, to endeavour
to convert them to the Christian religion.
Mr. Haslam lived at No. 15, Addington-place,
Camberwell, and was the Minister of Zion Chapel.
On Sunday morning, about ten o'clock, the de-,
fendant (whom he had only known a few weeks),
called at his house and pushed the servant on one
side, to whom he had given orders not to admit
him, until he had given a satisfactory explanation
of some previous part of his conduct, At this rime
the carriage was at the door to convey himself and
family to chapel. He began to storm and rage in
most violent manner, exclaiming, " I want to
know why you say anything derogatory to my na-
tion. You, Sir, have dishonoured my nation.'
Abrahams—l wish to cross-examine Mr. Haslam
as he goes on, or I shall I rget some of his statements.
Mr. Haslam continued—He was about to get into
his earriage—
Abrahams—Yes, with my wife.
Mr. Haslam then said that the defendant was so
violent in his vociferationa, that he desired him to
write him a letter on the following day, and he
would send him an answer. Finding that no per-
suasions would induce him to go away, he certainly
call, d him a conceited, insolent Jew.
Abrahams—He has robbed me of my wife, and
learned her to plunge daggers in my heart.
Mr (IREG,IRIE--You must be quiet, anti not in-
terrupt the witness.

Mr. Haslam continued—He then threatened to
send for the police, when he dared any person to
touch him. Witness's wife then went up stairs to
the young lady, whom the defendant had married
about six weeks ago, and requested her to leave the
house, as he was so violent. Site begged to be al-
lowed to remain, but his wife urged her to go away,
and she %vent accordingly. The defendant, on being
informed that she had left the house, went away.
When he got to the chapel the defendant carne
to him in the vei-try-room, and said that he wished
to speak to him. On his refusing to hear him, he
took a card out of his pocket, which he read,
and was as follows :—" I declare unto you, Mr.
Haslam, anyihing against or derogato'y to my tia-
tiun I will answer for." He then retired. During
ihe service, while the hymns were singing, the de-
fendant cone to him in his pulpit, and repeated the
language he h.id previously uttered in the vesity-
room- He then went away, and entered one of the
pews, where his (the defendant's) wife was. He
saw that the eyes of all the congregation were di-
rected to the defendant. In the course of his
sermon he was adverting to what constituted true
religion; it was not the converted Jew nor he who
pretended to religion, but it was that mun whe
truly repented of h s sins, and that all the rest was
vanity, when the defendant got up, and called ou
in a loud voice, " Mr. Haslam, I am ashamed of
you; this is scandalous." The congreg i
ation were
all alarmed, and such confusion took place that t
was found necessary to call in the police and give
him into custody.
Abrahams.---Now, I hope, I may cross.examine
