GERMANY.

The Independance of Brussels of Saturday has the
following summary of German news :—" The German
journals announce that the fate of Electoral Hesse is
at last decided. If we can believe them the solution
is this : the Electorate will he occupied by Prussian
and other German troops ; the Constitution will
be suspended, and the Elector will return to
Cassel ; a new electoral law will be granted; two
new chambers will be convoked to revise the
Constitution. These news coincide with the rais-
ing of the Prussian camp of Wetzlar, the troops
of which have been sent to the Hessian frontier;
they passed through the Grand Duchy, and by the
military route which Prussia had reserved to herself
in the Electorate, to rally the Prussian corps sta-
tioned on the Hessian frontier near Fulde and
Buttlar. But the telegraphic dispatches of the 234
announce that negotiations for the formation of a new
Ministry have led to no result. M. Elvers had re-
turned to Wilhelmsbad. The Counsellor of State,
Schoff4r, had been nominated member of the Electoral
Cabinet without portfolio. Our private letters do not
represent things in the same light as the German
journals. Not only do they not announce the con-
clusion of the affairs of Hesse, but, although they
are generally but littly disposed to believe in a colli-
sion, they don't disguise from us that the movements
of troops are numerous and real, that public opinion
is disquieted, and that, in a word, the situation is as
critical as it can be. It is true that Prussia has
reserved to herself by treaties the right of sending
her troops, by certain routes, in Hesse, and she
only exercises the right in rallying her two corps
d'armie near Fulde and Buttlar; but before
exercising the right she ought to have given eight
.days' notice in advance, to have informed the
interested states, which she has not done. It is
positive, besides, that the Cabinet of Berlin has sent to
General Von der Groeben the order to resist the Ba-
varians by force,, if they should attempt to intervene in
Hesse. Our 1 rankfort correspondent thinks that Aus-
tria and Bavaria may, as reprisals against Prussia, for
sending her troops through Hesse, exercise a similar'
right which they have reserved to thenaselve by treaties
in the Duchy of Baden,land cause the military routes
of the duchy to be occupied by an Austro-Bavarian
corps. Our Berlin correspondent believes that no reso-
lution will be taken before the conferences of Warsaw
where, as is known, the Emperor of Russia is to have
another intervie w with the Emperor of A thtria. Neither
at Vienna, nor in any other town of Germany, is a
conflict feared. Tlee truth is that the situation can-
not be long prolonged as it is, and that everything
Will announces the approach of a denouement. it be
pacific ? will it be warlike ? Russia will probably
weigh heavily on the solution which will prevail.
We persist in having faith in a pacific denouement."
A letter from Cassel of the 24th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says—" M. Elvers has witten from Wil-
helmsbad that M. de Hassenpflug is more firmly fixed
than ever, and that all hope of an early arrangement
may be regarded as illusory."
The Poat-Ampt Gazette of Frankfort mentions a
rumour of an ultimatum sent to Prussia by Austria

and some other German States, in which the entrance
of Prussian troops into Electoral Hesse without the
o: der of the German Diet, is made a cases belli
The Augsburg Gazette has the following from
Vienna, dated the 22d :—" The quarrel between
Prussia and Austria has reached its apogee. The
Oesterreichische Correspondenz and the Gazette of
the Empire contain warlike articles against Prussia.
The nephew of M. de Radowitz is gone on a secret
mission to Paris."

The Prussian Moniteur states that the Emperor of
Russia will meet the Emperor of Austria at the
frontier. Two couriers had arrived at Vienna from
Berlin and Warsaw. It was hoped that the confer-
ences at the latter city would lead to an arrangement
of the affairs of Germany. All the vessels of war in
the port of Trieste had received orders to sad, but it
was not known -for what destination. General Baron
de Drachenfels had arrived at Vienna to fill the post
of Minister Plenipotentiary of Darmstadt. A treaty
of the free navigation of the Danube had been con-
cluded between Bavaria and Austria.
A letter from OJerberg, on the Austro-Prussian
frontier, of the 24th, states that the Emperor of Aus-
tria had that day passed through that place on his
way to Warsaw.
The National Gazette of Berlin, under date of
Vienna, 22d, says that the garrison of that capital had
received orders to march. All the army is, it is said,
to be placed on a war footing, Radetsky:is to send
15:000 men into the Vorarlberg, and three brigades
are already en route to replace the garrison of Vienna.
The Hanau Gazette states that notwithstanding the
forced marches of the Prussian and Bavarian troops,
no collision between the great powers of Germany was
considered probable. It adds, on what it considers
lgood authority, that Austria and Prussia had come to
an understanding with respect to Electoral Hesse, and
that the Elector was to promulgate a new electoral
law and to convoke two new Chambers.

In the last sitting of the College of Princes at
Berlin, held on the 24th, a letter was communicated
from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stating that the
Prussian Government cannot consider the ratification
of the treaty of peace between Denmark and Prussia
by the plenipotentiaries at Frankfort as a valid
federal act, or as other than the act of the minority
of the German Governments represented by those
plenipotentiaries. The letter further stated, that the
Prussian Government had ordered its representative
at Denmark to declare to the Danish Government
that "it protests strongly against the ratifi-
cation of the Congress of Frankfurt being considered
a valid act of the real Assembly of the Confederation,
inasmuch as such an assembly cannot exist without
participation of Prussia and the other Governments
which were not represented at Frankfort ; but that,
as in this affair it prefers a real and complete peace to
any other consideration, it unhesitatingly declares
that it considers the act of Frankfort as the declara-
tion valid and obligatory on the Governments which
were represented at Frankfort—Austria, Saxony,
Bavaria, &c." The College of Princes adopted a re-
solution fully approving of the declarations of the
Prussian Government.

A letter from Munich of the 22d states that, on
the sudden arrival of the King of Bavaria, the two
battalions of the King's Regiment, which were about
to march towards Electoral Hesse, had received orders
to suspend their departure, and a report was current
that the affair of Hesse would be arranged without
the necessity of an armed intervention.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-1 OCTOBER 29, 1850.

realize 381 103 to 391, as there is a small supply.
For Southern there are several buyers, and the market
is yet scantily supplied, whilst the rates paid are from,
341 to 371 for low to fine quality. Sperm met with
greater attention and realised en advance. At auction
75 tuns were sold at 831 lOs to 871 ss. There was a largo
business concluded in Linseed Oil up to the close of the
week, and prices advanced from 323 to 335. Since
then shippers and home dealers operated with less
freedom, and the value to-day is 32s to 32s 3d, For
delivery there are not sellers under 32s 6d per cwt, but
there are few buyers, and the market is well supplied
with oil. A good demand exists for Rape Oil, and rates
are firm ; brown at 36s 6d to 36s 9d, refined 37s 6d
to 37s 9d, Foreign 38s to 384 6d, and the quantity
on offer is not larger. In Palm several purchases
have been made, and stock is light, whilst theirates paid
are 30s to 31s for first sort. There has been a good deal
done in Olive, and holders still have confidence, Spanis
end Gallipoli realise 441 to 451, other sorts 421 lOs to 431
103. Cocoa Nut is offered rather under farmer rates,
but shippers or home dealers do not appear much dis-
posed to operate, and 21s to 31s is the value.

as I was walking on duty round the grounds by
Chalk Farm Tavern, I heard some one come along
whistling towards me ; that person was the prisoner,
who immediately passed me. Not liking his appear-
ance, I went after him, and overtook him within ten
or twelve yards of Primrose-hill, when he suddenly
stopped. At that time I observed something
bulky under his coat, which was buttoned.
He remarked to me, " It's rather a wet morning,"
and I said, "It is, and what have you got about
you ?" He unbuttoned his coat, and, drawing thence
a leathern bag, said it was his own money, which he
had worked for, and at the same time produced 2s.
6d. Feeling satisfied that some robbery had been
perpetrated, I told him he must go with me, when he
said, " For God's sake don't take me, and I'll give
you half." I laid bold of him by the back of the neck,
and led him along, and for 500 yards he walked as
quietly as possible ; be then said something to me, but
I cannot recollect the words he used, and at the same
moment he suddenly sprung up, and I was stabbed by
him in the face with a sharp instrument. I still kept
hold of him, and we rolled together down an embank-
ment. A scuffle then ensued between us, and he cut
me again on the ear and the hand. I caught hold of
his wrist and saw the knife in his hand, which was
upraised as if in the act of once more stabbing me,
the blow being about to be aimed at my head.
We continued to scuffle, and the prisoner got away
from me. I got up as quickly as possible, while the
blood was flowing ter,un me in a stream, and ran after
him with my drawn truncheon. When I had got
within a few yards of him, the ground being
slippery, he fell. I fell too. We both got up, and
with my truncheon I gave him several blows which
knocked him down. I called out and my cries
brought to my assistance two railway policemen, by
whom the prisoner was secured and conveyed to the
station-house. I managed to walk there myself in a
bleeding and fainting condition, and on searching the
prisoner I found in his possession three bags, which I
now produce. They contain 191. in shillings, a crown,
14 half-crowns, 128 sixpences, 24 fourpenny-pieces,
15 threepenny-pieces, and other moneys in copper.
In one of his waistcoat pockets I found two four-
penny-pieces, and in his fob a jet necklace.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did he say from whom he re-
ceived the money as wages when you stopped him ?
Witness—Yes, he said he had had it from Mr. Grimble,
but did not tell me who or what Mr. Grimble was.
I asked him how much he had received, and be said
he believed about 251.

James Bonner, potman to a Mr. Seaton, said—For
three or four weeks past the prisoner has been in the
habit of coming daily and nightly to the house. At
half-past 11 o'clock last night he was by the fire in
the tap-room, where he had been long sitting, and I
then desired him to leave, as it was our time for shut-
ting up. I fastened the door at the back of the house
and then returned into the taproom, when I looked
round and could see no one there. I consequently
imagined that the prisoner, whom I had warned, had
left the house, and after extinguishing the gas I re-
tired to bed, leaving my master below. I was called
up at seven o'clock this morning, and then found that
the front door of the house was partly open. It had
been unbolted. The bar was down, and one shutter-
bolt was lying on a chair, which was placed close to
the door.

Wardell, a constable in the employ of the London
and North-Western Railway Company, was the next
witness examined. He said, hearing cries of " Oh,
oh I" proceeding from some one who was apparently
in great suffering from some cause or other, I ran
along the road towards Primrose-hill, and found the
prisoner and the policeman Godwin struggling on the
ground most desperately. I asked the policeman
what was the matter, and he exclaimed, " Mind him,
mate, for he has got a knife." The constable got up
bleeding and ready to faint, and on my searching
under the prisoner, who was lying down, I found a
knife under his right thigh.
Mr. BROUGHTON—When the officer said, " Mate,
he has got a knife," did the prisoner say anything ?
Witness—No, Sir. _ .

Mr. BROUGIITON—Was the prisoner bleeding too ?
Witness—He was from the hand, and a portion of his
head was matted with blood.

Frances Osborne, the maid servant, was next called.
She proved the finding of the street-door open. She
was the first who came down stairs, and she imme-
diately raised an alarm.
Mason, 168 S, gave evidence as to his having exa-
mined the premises of the prosecutor, and finding the
bar parlour had been entered by some one, who had
cut away a portion of the woodwork close to the lock,
so as to afford facility for going into the parlour, with-
out the parlour door being forced. There were no
marks of violence from the outside, and the robbery
of cash which, it would be shown by Mr. Seaton,
had ten place at his house, must have been perpe-
trateorby some one who had concealed himself on the
premises.
Mr. George Seaton, the landlord, proved that he
fastened up his street-door on the previous night at
half•past twelve o'clock, and went to bed five mi-
nutes afterwards. In the morning, when called
up as before stated by other witnesses, he missed
from his bar parlour somewhere about the amount
previously spoken to as being found on the prisoner,
namely, 251. or 261. One of the bags he would swear
to as being his, but the other two he could not. He
knew nothing about the necklace produced. The
greater part of the cash was stolen from a cupboard,
and the rest from the tills, both of which had been
emptied.
The knife found under the thigh of the prisoner
was produced and identified as being the property of
the presecutor ; it was a small dinner knife, such as
are commonly used in tap-rooms, and the upper part
of the blade was bent to the extent of two or three
inches.

In answer to the magistrate, Mason, the officer, said
he believed that the prisoner had been in custody
before, and convicted of stealing a saw, but he was
not prepared to-day with evidence to show that
such was the case. Witness added, that when pri-
soner met the wounded officer, Godwin, he was no
doubt carrying his treasure to some secluded spot
where he might deposit it until a fit opportunity was
afforded him for carrying it away.
The prisoner, after being duly cautioned as to
what he had to say, made a long and rambling state-
ment, to the effect that he was first assaulted by the
constable, of whom he asked the way to Gloucester-
gate, and he accused the officer of having struck him
before he (prisoner) attacked him with the knife. He
denied having broken out of the house himself, and
accounted for his possession of the money by al-
leging that it was given him by two men (strangers),
who told him that if he would carry what they gave
him they would put a trifle in his way, and that they
would meet him at Moses's, in Oxford-street. He
kmew not who the persons were, as he had never, to
his knowledge, seen them before.
Mr. BROUGHTON remanded the prisoner till Mon-
day next, and Inspector Chambers was directed to bring
on that day a surgeon's certificate with respect to the
nature of the wounds which Godwin had received.

The prisoner had received a slight wound in the
thigh, supposed to have been caused by his falling
upon the point of the knife, which was in his pocket
when he and Godwin rolled down the embankment.

The prisoner was then locked up, and Godwin left
the court in a cab, being much too exhausted to walk
home.

CLERKENWELL.

A poor distressed young woman, who gave bar
name Elizabeth Appleyard, of. No. 44, Rawstorne-
street, Clerkenwell, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt, on
Saturday last, under very distressing circumstances.
She said her husband was a compositor, but after
nine months' illness he died, leaving her with five
children, and at that moment her youngest child was
lying at home iu its coffin, and she had not the means
of burying it or of procuring food for herself and
starving family, and was compelled, with reluctance,
to make this appeal to the worthy magistrate. To
add to the unfortunate creature's affliction there was
a distress upon her trifling goods for 11. 103. Mr.
Tyrwhitt caused immediate inquiries to be made by
Nesbitt, one of the officers of the court, who reported
the case as one of a peculiarly distressing nature,
when Mr. Tyrwhitt relieved her from the distress,
and benevolently afforded the poor family other as-
sistance from the poor-box, and, the case having been
communicated to Mr. Petch, the overseer of the parish,
he undertook to see the child interred, and the appli-
cant evinced her gratitude by tears and thanks to
Mr. Tyrwhitt.
THAMES.
Bridget Donovan, a little ill-favoured Irishwoman,
about thirty years of age, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with being unlawfully possessed of
a 501. note, suspected to have been stolen.
A clerk in the Bank of England produced a 50/.
note, the one in question, dated December 6, 1849,
No. 17,137, and said it had been paid into that estab-
lishment, but had not been stopped. Some inquiries
however, had been made about it.

Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner WBS not likely to
have become honestly possessed of a 501. note, and
that the account she had given of herself and the way
she came by the note was so very suspicious, that he
should remand her until Thursday, and after that for
a longer period, if necessary. He directed the officer
to trace the owner of the note, and ascertain if it was'
stolen, if possible.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has left York for
his seat, llickleton Hall.

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS CORRIE.--On Saturday
the flags at the Town. hall and the public offices were raised
half-mast high in !expect to the memory of Mr. Thomas
Corrie, who died in the course of that morning. Mr. Corrie
was an officer well known in Liverpool as the collector of
town-dues, and he had filled the post with credit to himself
and profit to his employers for a number of years. He was,
we believe, in his seventy-third year, and had been suffering
from the disorders and infirmities of old age during the last
three or four months. The deceased was a man of very
charitable disposition, and he will long be remembered with
feelings of gratitude and respect. We believe the salary of
his office amounted to 7001. a year. The appointment rests
with tile corporativia...,Livopoo/ilThion.

THE LATE BURGLARY IN THE
REGENT'S PARK.
Yesterday the Government van arrived at Maryle-
bone Police• court, from the House of Detention,
Cierkenwell, bringing therein William Dyson, who
had been remanded by Mr. Broughton, on the charge
of having been concerned with others in burglariously
breaking and entering the premises of James Holford,
Esq., Holford House, Regent's Park, 'at an early
hour in the morning of Sunday, the 13th instant.
In about two hours after Dyson was brought in
and locked up in the cell by the gaoler, two more
persons, alleged to be participators in the transaction,
which has caused throughout the country so great a
degree of interest and excitement, were brought up
in a cab, properly secured from any chance of escape,
by Sergeant Barry, A, attached to the M (South-
wark) division, and Evan Jones, police-constable
250 M.
Superintendent Haynes, of the division alluded to,
and who was for a long period a most active officer of
the detective force, was also present. It soon became
rumoured in the district that three men were to be
examined, and long before the night charges were
disposed of the justice-room was crowded to excess.
At three o'clock the whole of the prisoners were
brought iu and placed at the bar.
Mr. Broughton—%% hat are the names of the two
additional prisoners ? Inspector Chambers—James
Mahon, alias Hollindale, and William Robinson.
It may be stated that Mahon, in addition to the
alias of Hollindale, has that of Hanbery, and that
Robinson is generally known by the appellation of
"Butcher Bill"
Mr. Broughton (to the prisoners)—You are
charged with having burglariously entered the pre-
mises of Jas. Holford, Esq., Regent's-park, aid car-
ried away an ormolu ornament and other articles. It
will be necessary to have the evidence of Mr. Paul, the
butler, as there are two fresh prisoners, to show that
a burglary has been committed.
Mr. Paul then reiterated the particulars of his
former statement, affording satisfactory proof of
the burglary, and the part which he, and the rest of
the servants under his direction, took in endeavour-
ing to capture the marauders, by sword, gun, pistol,
and pitchfork.
Mr. Broughton (to Superintendent Haynes)—Now
put up the first witness.
Henry Barry, 455 A—l am a sergeant of the M
division. On Sunday night, the 13th instant, at ten
o'clock, I, accompanied by Jones, 250 M, visited the
George public house, in Lombard-street, near the
Mint, in the Borough, and saw the three prisoners in
the tap room together.
Mr. Broughton—Were you in uniform or not ?
Witness—We were in plain clothes, your Worship.
Mr. Broughton—Do you know Dyson ?—Yes ; he
lived in a house in Martin-street. I apprehended a
lodger of his some time ago, of the name of Miller,
for an attack upon Mr. Cureton, in Aldersgate-street;
and he is to be tried to-day at the Old Bailey. The
prisoner Dyson attended at the Mansion-house while
Miller was under examination there, and he seemed
to be greatly interested in the proceedings, as if he
were keeping a particular watch upon a case affecting
a most intimate friend.
Mr. Broughton—What do you know of Robinson ?
Witness-1 have seen him in thieves' company, but I
cannot say of my own knowledge that he has been in
custody before.
Mr. Broughton—Do you know anything of the
prisoner Mahon ? Witness—Yes : he was sentenced
in February, 1849, to three months' hard labour for
having a number of skeleton keys in his possession of
which he could not give a satisfactory account. His
right name is James Hollindale.
Mr. Broughton—Have you often seen him since
that period ? Witness—Yes : and generally as an
associate of thieves at the George public-house.
Mahon—You have not seen me there lately, have
you? Witness—No.
Mahon—Was it anything unusual for me to be
missed from there for several nights together ? Wit-
ness—lt was.
Mahon—Had you ever seen me in Dyson's com-
pany before ? Witness—Yes, very often.
Mr. Broughton asked Superintendent Haynes as to
the character which the George public-house gene-
rally bore, and he said that the landlord had several
times been sommoned for harbouring thieves, and that
only a week or ten days ago he had been convicted at
Southwark Police-court in the penalty of 31.
Robinson to Barry—Have you not missed me upon
many occasions from the public-house you have spoken
of in the Borough ? Barry—l have, but could not
find out where you had gone to until I happened to
take you into custody.
By Mr. Broughton—When taken in charge,
Mahon, on being told he was charged with a burglary
at Mr. Holford's, said he knew nothing about the
affair.

Jones, 250 M, said, I was in company with Ser-
geant Barry when he visited the George, and there
saw the three prisoners and others belonging to their
party. I looked into the tap-room;and Dyson nodded
at me. There was a quart pot on the table.
Mr. Broughton—Were they all sober ? Wit-
ness—They seemed to be so.
Mr. Broughton—Where did you take the prisoners
into custody ? Witness—From information which I
and my brother officer received, we went to a beer-
shop in a hack street leading out of the Kingsland-
road, and Barry told Mahon that he must consider
himself in custody, and I presently returned to the
beer-shop, close to which I met Robinson, who, on
being told what he was charged with, said " I have
nothing to do with other people's doings; and if other
people do anything wrong that is no affair of mine."
Mr. Broughton—Do you know Mahon ? Witness
—Yes, sir; well. When we reached the Feather-
stone-street station-house, Mahon, who was there,
upon seeing Robinson brought in, said, " You
have no business to bring that man here, he knows
nothing about it." And he kept on saying that he
was innocent.
Superintendent Haynes, to Barry—Have you ex-
amined the hands of the prisoner Mahon ? Barry—
I have. His left hand was cut in the palm, and on
the lower part of his right thumb was a mark as if a
shot had penetrated it.
Henry Locock, cabman, badge 5,417, was next
called.
Mr. Broughton—Do you know Mr. Holford's
house P Witness—l do, sir.
Mr. Broughton—When did you first hear of a
robbery there ? Witness—This day fortnight, when
Lockerby and Mason, of the S division, took me to
St. Thomas's Hospital, to see a man who had been
wounded.
Mr. Broughton (to Lockerby)—That man was
I believe, brought before Mr. Long, and discharged as
quite clear of the burglary ? Lockerby—Tnat is so,
your Worship.
Mr. Broughton (to Locock)—What do you know
in connexion with this affair at Mr. Holford's ? Wit-
ness—At about half-past one or twenty minutes to
two on the morning of this day fortnight, I had just
put down a job at the York and Albany Tavern, when
the prisoner Mahon came up to me, and I asked him
if he wanted a cab—to which he replied, " Yes." He
told me that he bad been bitten by a dog, and he
showed me his hand, which was bleeding very much.
I told him there was a pump close by, at which he
could wash it ; and while I was speaking to him,
another man came by, bleeding from the head, and
without a hat. He got into the cab, and ordered me
to drive to the Strand.
Mr. Broughton—Did he and the other man who
went to the pump speak ? Witness—they did not,
your Worship, and I had no reason to think that they
knew each other. While going along Albany-street
the man whom I was driving said he felt faint, and
asked to ride outside. He alighted, saying that he
would walk on, which he did, and soon after, hearing
another cab behind, he got in again, saying, "Drive
me as quick as you can to Waterloo-bridge." He had
no hat on, and I asked him what had become of his
hat, but he made me no answer. I set him down
close to the brige, and I demanded 2s. 4d. as my fare,
but he gave me only ls. 6d. I was at that moment
hailed by a lady and gentleman, who got into the
vehicle, and I at the time objected to take them, not
liking to do so until I had found out where the man
whom I had brought to the bridge lived, as he was
lying down, bleeding ; but I was obliged to carry the
fare I have spoken of, or run the risk of being sum-
moned and fined for refusing to do so.
Mr. Broughton—Did he tell you how it was he
had no hat ? Witness—No, sir ; but on the road to
the bridge he expressed a wish to go down to the
Strand by some bye street.
Mason (S)—l think, sir, that I shall be able to
bring forward one who was at Gloucester-gate, and
who will give important evidence, upon a future
occasion.
Mr. Broughton (to Jones)—Since the burglary
have you been in the habit of seeing the two pri-
soners, Mahon and Robinson, in the George public-
house? Jones—No, sir; I have missed them ever
