The jury requested to be informed what the particular
counts were.

His LORDSHIP informed them that the 7th count
charged that the goods having been warehoused in the
docks, they were by the company clandestinely and ille-
gally removed from the place of security in which they
were, to another place. The Bth count charged the
same, without mentioning the persons who committed
the act. The 9th count charged the company with hav-
ing fraudulently concealed the goods in the warehouse
with intent to evade the payment of duty. The 10th
count was to the same effect, not specifying the persons.
The jury then retired, and after a short absence re-
turned and delivered the following verdict:—" We find
for the Crown on the 7th and Bth counts as to the two
boxes of sugar, as to the remaining 27 casks of sugar,
and as to all the 57 packages of cocoa, for the defen•
dants; at the same time we couple with the verdict a re-
commendation that greater strictness should be observed
by the company towards their subordinate servants. in
order to prevent irregularities which have occurred."
A juryman—We find for the Crown as to the two
boxes upon your Lordship's direction, that the putting
them into a cask was a clandestine and illegal removal.
His LORDSHIP then asked the jury whether they did
not find that the two boxes had been fraudulently con-
cealed within the sth and 10th counts?

The Foreman—Yes, but we find no intention to de-
fraud the revenue.

GERMAN Y.

We find the following in the _Hanover Gazette of
the 12th :—" On the 3d December last Lord PAL-
MERSTON addressed to the Cabinets of Vienna and
Berlin a note, in which he stated that having learned
that Prussia and Austria Ind agreed to enter the
Germanic Confederation with the states not included
in it by the treaty of Vienna, be was called on to de-
clare that the territory of the Germanic Confedera-
tion was not formed solely by the voluntary union
of the states which constitute it, but by a European
treaty ; so that the territory could not be modi-
fied without the consent and accord of all the
powers which signed the treaty of Vienna. In
forming the Germanic Confederation, the prin-
ciple was admitted that it should only be composed
of German elements. This fundamental principle
had been abandoned in the convention referred to.
The British Government, however, not having re-
ceived positive and complete news on this affair, did not
at the moment think it right to pronounce formally
on the projected change, but it hoped that the Cabi-
nets of Vienna and Berlin would, before taking any
definitive resolution, give it precise explanations on
the nature and object of the projected modifica-
tions, and on the motives which might appear to
render them desirable. It specially demanded
explanations on the point as to what sort of in-
tervention one or several members of the Germanic
Confederation proposed to exercise in the interior
affairs of states which might belong to it, and in any
differences which might arise between the Sovereigns
and the subjects.—The French Government, having
receivep the official news that Austria proposed to
enter the Germanic Confederation with all her states,
hastened to declare to the Cabinet of Vienna that the
French Government would consider the projected ex-
tension of the territory of the Confederation as an af-
fair which should be treated by all the parties who
signed the treaty of 181.5."
We learn from Vienna that the Austrian Minister
of War has ordered that all purchases of horses for re-
mounting the cavalry shall be suspended.
