POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ACTING THE PART OF THIS GOOD SAMARITAN.—
Sophia Herrington and Eliza Davis, two prostitutes, were
placed at the bar, charged with annoying, and stealing
three books from a gentleman, who gave the name of
George Thompson, staying at the Euston Hotel. It ap-
peared from the complainant's statement that shortly after
12 last night he was accosted by the elder prisoner (Her-
rington.) Not wishing to have anything to say to her, he
passed on, but Davis's youthful appearance attracted his
attention. He entered into conversation with her, and
exhorted her to leave off her present miserable existence.
He was carrying three books under his arm at the time,
which Davis took into her possession, and retained them
whilst they were walking, and he giving her advice
till they reached the Regent Circus, when he, wishing to
leave Davis as well as Herrington, who had joined them,
asked for his books, which they refused to give up, Davis
charging him with having taken liberties with her. He
had given her two shillings to pay her fare to Kennington.
The language they made use of was most disgraceful.
Davis repeated her statement about taking liberties, and
the other prisoner said she denied the charge of annoying.
Mr. Bingham said he did not believe a word of what the
prisoners had said. Davis, who had shown gross ingratitude,
he should send for 14 days, and Herrington for seven
days.

A PLEA FOR A CONGRESS.

(From the Invalide Busse.)
The state of Italy requires discussion by all the
great powers in common. If the elements of dis-
cord are suffered to remain there, if the wants and
desires of the Italian people are trampled under
foot, and if it is pretended that the legitimate
aspirations of the country are to be stifled by force,
the present peace will not have good results.
Troubles and sanguinary scenes will be sure to
break out and be enacted there. It is to prevent
this eventuality that the meeting of the congress is
in our opinion indispensable. But this congress
ought not to be circumscribed within the narrow
circle of a programme previously chalked out, and
from which, in order to please this or that power,
questions concerning dy:iastic privileges or those
derived from treaties have to be excluded.
The congress ought to have full power to discuss
the general state of Europe and fix the firm and
immutable basis of the international relations, and
even of the internal legislation. The condition of
Italy is tottering and full of dangers, and, unfor-
tunately, it is not the only one that is darkening
the horizon of the future.

There exist in Europe other and most important
causes of disagreement. Austria and France,
armed in a formidable manner, may fall out once
more, and this fatal collision will inevitably drag the
whole of Europe into an endless contest. The state
of Germany and the system of the Germanic Con-
federation, the work of Mottcrnich, ought to
undergo a change.
The tendencies towards unity that broke out in
Germany with such violence in 1848 are beginning
anew, and threaten revolution. It is urgent that
reforms should be introduced into it, and that in
lieu of this mouldering edifice of the dynastic con-
federation a structure based on the confederated
states of the peoples should be raised. The per-
manent discords between Denmark and the German
Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, stilled for a moment
by the noise of more important events, arc yet far
from being finally appeased. They ought 1 kewise
its
judgment.
be brought before the European congress for
judgment.
Lastly, Europe ought to reflect seriously and de-
finitively on the strange situation of Turkey. Sad
experience now proves that all hope of its reorga-
nisation is utterly lost ; the sick man of yesterday
lies now in a hopeless state.
The existence of this monarchy, with the present
forms of government, in the heart of Christian and
civilised Europe would only, be for the future a
permanent apple of discord ; its longer existence is
therefore impossible. It is high time to come to
a reckoning, and have done with these Turcoman
hordes, who for four centuries have tyrannised over
six millions of our co-religionists, taking advan-
tage of the egotism and lamentable disunion of the
Christians.

These are serious subjects for the labour of the
future Congress. Time will show us whether this
Congress will know how to maintain itself on a
level with the great mission to be confided to it.
