PRUSSIA

The Prussian papers acquaint us with the nature
of the bill presented by the Minister of Finance in
Saturday's sitting of the Berlin Chambers, which
had for result to cause the withdrawal of M. de
Patow's interpellations with reference to the ex-
penditure of the 30 millions voted last year. The
bill states that of that sum, 14,205,107 thalers have
been expended, and that the surplus is destined to
cover the extraordinary expenditure of the Minister
of War in the years 1854, 1855, and 1856 ; to aug-
ment the war funds of the general treasury ; and
to meet the expenses incurred by the re-establish-
ment of the service for three years of the infantry
of the line.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GOLD ROBBERY BY A WORIIMAN.--Jolin Charles War-
ner, a journeyman jeweller, in the employ of Mr. Wm.
Chapman, gold and silversmith, Frith-street, Soho, was
brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a piece
of gold, value 95., the property of his master.
Mitchell, 298 A, stated that about five o'clock on the
previous afternoon he was watching the prosecutor's
premises, when he saw the prisoner come out of the house
and proceed down the street. Witness followed him to
a refiner's shop in Jerusalem-passage; Clerkenwell, where
he saw him place a piece of gold in a scale. Witness
immediately entered the shop and seized the gold, when
the prisoner at once admitted that he had taken it from
Mr. Chapman, in whose employ he was. On question-
ing the woman who was weighing the gold she said that
she bad frequently purchased gold of the prisoner. He
then took the defendant to the station, where he was
, searched, and five other pieces of gold were found upon
bin,.
Chapman said the prisoner had been in his employ
since May lest. The six pieces of gold were his pro-
perty—one piece he was sure of. He produced the piece
of gold from which it was cut. The other pieces he had
every reason to believe were his. During the past week
he bad lost as much as 12 dwts. per day. Some few
weeks ago a burglary was committed at his house, and
gold, silver, and other articles of the value of 300/.,were
stolen therefrom. Since that time prisoner's conduct
bad been very suspicious.

The prisoner, who pleaded guilty to the charge, was
committed to the House of Correction for six months.
