PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JAN., 29.

There is nothing even yet to be reported from
here of a positive nature with regard to any at-
tempt at arranging the moot point of the King of
Prussia's sovereignty of Neuchatel, which has been
de facto in abeyance ever since 1848. Without
pretending to know whet may be doing in Paris,
at the instigation of the Swiss Government, to
bring about conferences, or pave the way for the
question being solved b? means of diplomatic cor-
respondence, we believe we can at least state that
nothing definite has beet settled there, inasmuch
as Prussia being onekof the principals something
would be known here of any arrangement having
been made. No trace at present of anybody's
knowing anything of the sort is known here. Al-
though the question of vhat terms the King will
put forward as the condition of hisceding his rights
is a secondary one in point of time, it is one of
foremost importance forthe King and his Govern-
ment to decide upon before the meeting of con-
ferences or the opening A negotiations. But even
on this point no decisioi has been arrived at.
It is understood that the Grand Duke Constan-
tine will return hither from Hanover next week
for a short stay at this Court. Though there ap-
pear to be no definitive Arrangements as yet made
for his visit to Paris, it .s believed that it will not
be long before it is put into execution.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, beim Lord Campbell, Justices
Coleridge, Wightma.n, and Crompton.)
THE QUEEN V. PHILLIPS.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., showed cause against a rule obtained
last term calling upon the defendant, the Chief Commis-
sioner in Insolvency, to show cause why he refused to
pay over to a person named Cook the surplus of an in-
solvent's estate after paying Ms debts.
It appeared that the insolvent, a person named
Dyson, made an assignment of his property, and after-
wards sold his right to any residue to Cook ; afterwards
he became an insolvent.

There were, consequently, three claimants for the

After hearing Sir F. Thesiger in support of the rule,
The Court ordered it to be discharged.
