GERMANY.
Accounts from Berlin, dated the Bth instant, state
that his MAJESTY'S rest was slightly disturbed during
the previous night by the pain of the inflammation in
his foot, but that his arm was healing rapidly.
The Prussian Government is said to have addressed
serious remonstrances to the English Cabinet relative
to the number of German political refugees in Lon-
don, requesting it to send away at least the most dan-
gerous among them. M. DE BUNSEN has received
orders to insist on these demands.
The military preparations of Prussia still continue
to be the subjects of much curiosity and speculation ;
the prevalent belief, however, is, that they are not
directed against Austria.
Intelligence from Hungary describes that country
beyond the Theirs as being somewhat more tranquil.

ITALY
Intelligence from Rome mit &ins the following ac-
count of an interesting cerem Juial having taken place
in the Eternal City, in which his HOLINESS in person
presided over the religiou, pageantry :
The procession of Corpus Christi round the colon-
nade of the Vatican took place with the usual pomp.
Early in the morning the Pope repaired to the
Sistine Chapel to assist at the ceremony. His nom-
NESS was attended by the Pontifical Noble Guards,
attired in their grand uniform, preceded by their
chiefs and the banner of the Holy Church.
Next came General GaMEAU, commander of the
French expeditionary army, and Generals CMADEYS-
SON and LIVAILLANT with their staffs, mingled
with those of the ioman troops. The cortege
consisted of a detachment of French artillery with
their band, two squadrons of French dragoons,
several detachments of the Roman army, and a de-
tachment of French gendarmes. French battalions
lined the square, and paid the customary honours
on the passage of the procession. The POPE, after
bestowing
his benediction on the immense multi-
tude assembled on the place, retired into his apart-
meats.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices

PATTESON and ERLE.)
DAVIS V. CAEEY.
This was an action on a bond, bearing date the 31st
December, 1822, executed by the defendant and one
Joseph Carey.
Lord CsataiELL gave judgment this morning, and,
after reviewing the facts of the case, which involved no
feature of public interest, said the Court was of opinion
that judgment must be for the defendant on both the
breaches which had been alleged.

KNIGHT v. THE NEPTUNE INSURANCE COMPANY.
Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the Court
in this ease this morning. He said this was an action
of covenant, on a policy of insurance, under seal, exe-
cuted by the defendants, the Neptune Marine Insurance
commencingfor 1,000 L, onen thethe
2s4hti
hp andsteoecaterghoer
of the
LueypHanayll,lB4s,
until Con the 23d September, 1846, whilst she performed a
voyage beyond seas, and back to this country. The
declaration alleged that, after the 24th September, 1845,
and before the 23d September,lB46, viz., on the 16th Sep-
tember, 1846, the ship,by reason of the perils of the sea,
was stranded, and wholly lost. The plea denied the
lose mode et forma. At the trial a verdict was found fur
the plaintiff, damages 1,0561. 17s. 10d., the amount of the
sum insured, subject to the opinion of the Court on a
case in which the only question submitted] to them was
whether the verdict was to stand for the plaintiff or be
entered for the defendants. It appeared that on the
16th September, 1846, the Lucy Hall on taking the har-
bour of Santa Cruz, was stranded, but was eventually
got off, and towed into the harbour, where it was die-
covered that she had sustained serious damage.
In the argument before the Court it was first
oontanded that the verdict ought to stand
for the plaintiff, on the footing of a total loss; but the
Court was of opinion that the plaintiff was precluded
from complaining of a total loss by reason of his having
omitted to give the defendants notice of abandonment.
After the damage the ship remained at Santa Cruz until
the middle or eud of October, where she was kept afloat
by pumping her from time to time. Her cargo was dis-
cbarged into other vessels, and a survey la, ing had
upon her, it was found that she had been so
damaged that the nece,4ary repairs could not
be done at Santa Cruz, nor could she Ie
taken to Monte Video or any other place where she
could have been repaired. Under those circumstances,
the vessel was sold in October, 1848, at Santa Cruz, for
721. 10a. 6d., without any notice of abandonment having
been given to the defendants. It was argued before the
Court that the ship must be taken to have actually pe-
rished, becau4e it was stated, that while under the pro-
tection of the policy I.lle received her death blow. But
the Court were bound to look at her actual condition'
after the damage was sustained, and they found
that she was -kept alive several weeks after
the accident, alil "-might have been so temporarily
repaired in that interval as to enable her to piaeeed to
some other place were she might have been more effec-
tually repaired. The Court was not called on to decide
the question of the notice of abandonment; but in this
case they were of opinion that as against the insurers
the sale was not shown to have been lawful. For those
reasons they thought the verdict could not stand for
a total loss; but they thought the ship sustained a
partial loss for which the plaintiff ought to receive
an indemnity. They thought the proper course would
be to refer the question of compensation for partial loss
to arbitrators, and that the verdict for the plaintiff
should be reduced to the sum determined upon by the
arbitrators; but if both parties should not agree, the
Court would direct a new trial, that the amount of da-
mages might be ascertained.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
GORHAM v. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.
The CHIEF BARON delivered the judgment of the
Court this day, on the application of Sir F. Kelly for
a rule to show cause why a writ of prohibition
should not issue to restrain further proceed-
ings in the Ecclesiastical Court. The Chief
Baron stated that it would have been necessary fur the
Court to have carefully examined the authorities and
the judgment delivered by the other common law courts
before deciding to refuse the rule ; that there had not
been sufficient time for this, which if the Court had de-
iayegdrafonng
for that purpeaors,e,
wand
withhraedferuelhteime ultimately
the
esollvaew
resolved
in the rule, the litigation, from the
terms,seasonmust o fthey
have been kept open until November next.
The Court, therefore, had resolved on greeting a rule to
show cause returnable peremptorily to-morrow, which
would give the Court jurisdiction to hear the argument,
and give judgment at the sittings after this term. Bat
the Court bad arranged with Mr. Baron Parke to
preside in London at Nisi Prins in the place of
the Chief Baron from the 29th inst. until this
case was diaposo
of. He wished to call
the attention of Counsel to a point which had been but
little adverted to in the argument, but on which they
felt much difficulty: it was whether this was, in fact, a
contention or proceeding touching the Queen, in her
prerogative, such as was comprised within the statute.

COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Justices MAULS, CRESSWELL.
and TALFOURD.)
The Court gave notice this morning that they would
hold a sitting on the 24th of June next, to giro judg-
ment in certain mei standing over.
The G;urt then proceeded with the special paper,
but the arguments were entirely uninteresting.

BANKRUPTCY
(Before Mr. Commissioner GouLnunzi.)
Bp3CINDING A FINAL ORDER.-IN RE BROOME.
This Hasa case under the old Insolvent Act. Insol-
vent had obtained his final order, on condition of bitting
aside a certain portion of his earnings for the benefit of
his creditors, but which he had failed to perform. A
summons was taken out and served personally on the
insolvent, who failed to attend. Another application
was made to his Honour on Saturday, and he said that
he would either grant a warrant against the insolvent, or
rescind the order, which he had the power to do whero it
had been obtained by fraud, and he considered that the
breach of the condition was one. On the application
being made to-day, his honour rescined the order,
leaving the creditors' at liberty to take the insolvent in
excution.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman FIRNIe.)
Jane Butler, aged 50, described as a widow, pleaded
guilty to a charge of stealing a large sum of money, the
property of her mistress. Another woman had been
previously convicted on a charge of receiving The same
money, knowing
it to have been stolen, and sentenced to
"Ten Yegivetrauportation. The Pregeut.Prismor, lifter

obtaining possession of the money, gave way to a course
of desperate dissipation, and she was ultimately captured
in a brothel, where she was lying in a state of insengibi-
lity, produced by drink. She was sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment in the Surrey House of Cor-
rection.

lane, th; prOperiy t.f a newspaper proprietor. Brether-
trja was sentenced to be transported seven y'ars. Smith,
who admitted receiving the property, but denied that he
knew it was stolen, was not sentenced.
ROBBERY ON BOARD SHlP.—Patrick Smith, aged 33,
described as a musician, and Sarah Smith, his wife, were
indicted for stealing a box, containing a quantity of
jewellery, the property of an ayab.
Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Clarkson, defended the
prisoners.

- It appeared from the statement of the Learned
Counsel that the posecutrix was a native of Ceylon, and
some short time ago she was in the service of Sir Edward
Barnes, the Governor. On the death of that gentle•
man, she was engued by Dr. Darwood at Madras, to
attend his wile and two children on a voyage to Eng-
land. The voyage was undertaken in the East India-
man Wellesley. Shortly after the prosecutrix went on
board she made the acquaintance of the two prisoners,
who were deck passengers, and as they appeared
to take more interest in her welfare than her
master, she informed them that her brother, who
was a jeweller at Madras, had entrusted her
with a quantity of valuables to dispo,e of in
England, while in the box which contained this pro-
perty she had 1004 of her own, the savings of her pre-
vious life. This communication seems dto have excited
their cupidity, and they advised prosecutrix to be careful
not to entrust the precious box to the steward or any
other person connected with the vessel, at the same time
startling her with the information that foreigners were
not allowed to land on the English shores with anything
valuable in their possession. Relying upon the good
faith of this statement, she consented to the prisoner
taking charge of the property, and it was accordingly
handed over to them; and the result was, that on their
reaching the docks, they immediately disappeared, car-
rying with them the box. In the meantime, Dr. Dar-
wood having no further occasion for the services of the
prosecutrix, he lett her at the docks to shift for herself;
and after passing through many hardships, she found her
way to Mr. Barnes, the brother of her former master.
This gentleman listened patiently to bet story, and
tninking that she had been ill-used by Dr. Darwood, and
robbed by the prisoners, he determined to take her case
up, and eventually the prisoners were given into custody
on this charge. Some jewellery was found upon
the female, which the prosecutrix identified as part
of her property ; but, strange to say, these
trinkets have been since claimed by Dr. Darwood, and
the prosicutrix now stands charged with stealing them.
The account the female prisoner gave of the affair was
simply that the prosecutrix made her a present of the
property, but while they appeared steeped in poverty on
board ship, the prisoners were discovered in a -compa-
rative state of affluence when taken into custody, and
this and other matters of a circumstantial character, such
as a remark of the female to the effect that she wished
they had thrown the black b— overboard, was the evi-
dence adduced in support of the prosecution to-day.
The case was proceeding when our report left.

NEW COURT.
- (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
The Court was occupied the entire morning with
Mint cases, which presented no features of general
interest.

WESTMINSTER.—(THIS DAY.)
OBTAINING MONEY TINDER FALSE PRETENCES. PROM
THE DUCHESS OF IitONTROSE.-A Frenchman, between
30 and 40 years of age, who gave his name Ponce Trysoa,
but who has a number of aliases, and is stated to be a
well-known, begging-letter impostor, was charged with
imposing upon the Duchess of Montrose.

Itnppeared that about a mouth since, the prisoner left
a letter at the mansion of the Duke of Montrose, and
stated that he was a foreigner in great distress. The
Duchess gave him a, few shillings; and upon the receipt
of a second letter by the Duke, be ordered his butler to
make inquiries, and he found that the prisoner had been
living in grand style in Maddox•street, but bad suddenly
decamped without paying bis bill.for board and lodging.
His Grace had another letter sent him from Birmingham,
from a Monsieur Tryson, in which he stated that he
was a professor of languages, and haying obtained a
situation at Birmingham, he was unable to enter upon
his duties, his clothes being in so bad a condition. A
meeting was appointed at his Grace's maiden e,, and
when the prisoner made his appearance he. was taken
into custody by Horsford, and at once admitted bis guilt,
but excused himself by stating that he had Iwo names,
and produced what,purported to be a passport, and which
bore the name Jacques Ponce Tryson.
The Magistrate, after hearing other evidence, com-
mitted him to prison for six weeks.
