The following particulars relating to SEFOLOGA,
the man who attempted to assassinate the King of
PRUSSIA, appears in the Prussian Staats Anzeiger :
" The assassin, Maximilian Sefologa, of PotAlam, is
m
31 ears of age; he was brought up at the Orphan
Asylum at Potsdam, and subsequently served in the
artillery as subaltern. According to certificates ob-
tained
w o

Talienation,

for which he was treated at the hospital of Spandau; but
he was not cured, and his conduct since has left no doubt
of his insanity. Thus he imagined that be was the
inventor of chocolate and of gun-cotton ; and
one of his favourite projects was the foundation of
a colony, with the assistance of the Bey of
Tunis. Up to the very day of his mad attack upon the
King he was permitted to live at the barracks, wore the
dress of a subaltern, and enjoyed a pension of two dol-
lars per month. He has frequently presented t,) the
King his project of colonisation in the form of petition.
Probably these petitions were of suoh a nature that it
was not thought worth while to take any notice of them,
and this may have impelled the unhappy man to the in-
sane act of which he has been guilty."
The Constitutional Gazette again asserts "that Sefologa
fired off the pistol while in the act of presenting a peti-
tion to the King. Public thanks to Almighty God for
the preservation of the King have been offered through-
out his Majesty's dominions."
The Norden Blatt contains the protest of the Court
of Berlin and of the Governments of the Bund
against the character of the Germanic Diet, which
Austria attributes to the Congress of Frankfort, and
against the presidency which she wishes to assume to
herself. The document, after a long preamble,
lamenting the coolness and differences between the
Courts of Vienna and Berlin, and its hopes that, by
conciliation and frankness and mutual efforts, the
basis for a union of the whole of Germany may be
agreed on, says, " We do not hesitate to declare that
we will not consent to any revival of the Diet which
does not guarantee to all the Governments who approve
its necessity the principle of a free union on the basis
of a federative state. We salute the members of the
Confederation at Frankfort in the confidence that we
shall find ourselves acting with a common solicitude
for the welfare of the German nation, and we are
happy to express to the Cabinet of his Majesty the
Emperor of AUSTRIA. our confidence that in this soli-
citude, and in this particular sense, be will unite with
us in overcoming the difficulties resulting from the
nature of the present circumstances."
The. German Reformer says a large camp is being
formed near Lowich, where the CZAR intends to have
a grand review, for the entertainment of those Sove-
reigns who are about to meet him at Warsaw.
On the 23d the Prussian Council of Administra-
tion assembled under the presidency of M. SIDOW.
The Government has made the necessary arrange-
ments for the constitution of the College of Princes.
The Sovereigns will be invited to send to Berlin as
soon as possible their Plenipotentaries, in order to
proceed at once to the formation of the curial.

Prosecutor stated that he was a florist, and resided at
Windsor. On the evening of the 6th of May he went to
the Surrey Theatre, and as he was leaving that place he
met the prisoner, who entered into conversation with
him. They afterwards proceeded to a house in the
neighbourhood, where they partook of some refresh.
meats, when he took his watch from his waistcoat pocket
and placed it on the table, prior to winding it up. The
prisoner suddenly snatched it up and ran out of the room,
and would have quitted the house had not the land-
lady seized hold of her, and kept her until witness
called in a pol:ce constable, and gave her into custody.
The watch was given to bim by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert two years ago, as a reward for some roots
which he had cultivated and brought into perfection.
In cross examination by Mr. CHARNOCK, the prosecutor
stated that he had been drinking when he met the
prisoner, and he was positive that he rever gave her the
watch for certain favours. It was Prince Albert's, and
it was not likely that he should part with that.
In defence, Mr. CHARNOCK contended that the pro-
secutor was intoxicated, and being without money he
gave Prince Albert's watch to the prisoner as a security
for being paid on a future occasion.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced her to six months' hard labour
at Brixton.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY)
STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Rhoda Riley was placed
before dr. Bingham charged with stealing a gold
watch, value 151., the property of Mr. 'William Myer,
tailor, 54, Wardour-street, Soho.
It appeared, from the evidt lace, that about two o'clock
this morning the prosecutor was proceeding along Lisle-
street, on bis way home, si hen the prisoner, who ap-
peared to be very tipsy, went up to him and asked him
to see her home to her lodgings in Ryder's-court, aa she
was too drunk to walk there alone. From motives of
humanity he complied with her request, and on arriving
at the door of the house in which she lodged he felt
something snap, and on his putting his hand to his
waistcoat pocket he missed his watch. He immediately
caught hold of the prisoner and took the watch from
her right hand. A friend of prosecutor's, who happened
to pass at the time, fetched a constable, and the prisoner
was given in charge.
The prisoner, who is an old offender, was committed
for trial.
