THE HAGUE, JAN. I.—The latest accounts from
our East India possessions state that the squadron
sent against the pirates on the coast of Celebes, had
returned to Socrabaya without meeting any of them.
The Government schooner, the Niobe, had found
on the reef of Warren Hastings, shoals in the Banea
seas, a stranded vessel, which proved to b? the English
ship Gondolier, Captain Hamilton Oliver. It was
abandoned, and so mucl• damaged, that it was not
possible to save any part of the cargo, chiefly consist-
ing of tea.

FRANKFORT, DEc. 30.—According to private letters
from Berlin, the report gains ground, which has
likewise been spread here, that her Majesty Queen
Victoria, and her Illustrious Consort; will pay a visit
in the spring to Potsdam, and that other German.
Courts may expect the same honour.
The papers are full of accounts of the river ; the.
water is everywhere fallen, and the continued thaw
has weakened the ice so much that it is generally'
unsafe to pass it, and some persons have unhappily'
been drowned. Some apprehensions are entertained,
from the great accumulation of ice, especially in the
Waal. Every possible precaution is, however, taken
both by the local authorities and by the Government
A detachment of sappers and miners had been sent ht
waggons with the necessary implements, and a large
quantity of gunpowder, to be employed, if necessarY,.
in blovving up the masses of ice.

BERLIN, DEC. 24.—1 t may now be positively
stated that Privy Councillor Seiffart will shortly gcs
to Rio Janiero, as Prussian Consul-General. We hear
that he is to promote, in South America, not only the
commercial interests of Russia, but those of the Zoll-
verin.—/tragdeburg Gazette.
Baron Alexander von Humboldt is gone to Purls.
He is expected back in six weeks.

An old man in Silesia has addressed a petition to
his Majesty, in which he says that he is much afflicted
at bearing the same name as the assassin Tschesch,
with whom he cannot discover that he is in any way'
related. He is indeed old, but he has sons, and he
begs his Majesty to give him another name. The
King immediately wrote on the petition--" The
petitioner's request is granted. He shall be called
Echt."

FROM BAVARIA, DEC. 22.—We hear from Het
that several citizens and a travelling merchant have
lately been thrown into prison, for some imprudent'
expression to which a late attempted crime gave occa-
sion. The investigation is said to be terminated, andi
that the merchant is sentenced to four years' imprison-
ment in the house of correction.

HANOVER, DEC. 21.—Count Seckenclorff, the
Prussian Ambassador, is expected to return to hi*
post here before the end of the month.

THE GENBRAL POST•OFFICE.—On Saturday the
following Post-office order was placed in the hands of the
several postmen, by direction of the Postmaster-Generals
having also been issued to all postmasters, suh.post-
masters, and letter receivers :—" General Post-officer

THE CROOME POACHING AFFRAY.—WORCESTF•It
WEDNESDAY EVENING.—It WaS stated in The Su7L of
Monday last, that beside the man, Joseph Turvey, pre'
viously stated to have been committed to Worcester
county gaol, on the charge of being implicated io this
murderous attack upon the gamekeeper on the Earl 0'
Coventry's estate at Croome, three others, whose none%
were Samuel Dinely, Samuel Turvey (brother of rie;
seph), and William Bromfield, had been apprehended,
and we have now to state that two others of the gang
have been taken—namely, Joseph Tandy and Thom
Hooper. These have, during the past two days, bee°
undor exarnivati.m before the magistrates, who have Fel'
at the county gaol for that purpose. The examinatieioe
however, has been strictly private, no reporter being s'y
mitted. We are, however, enabled to state that the re'
suit of the examination has been, that Joseph Tull
(who was only previously committed on the charge
poaching and assault) and Dinely have been fully cony'
meted on the eharge of the unted.r of the unf6rtuntalf
Thom'.s Staite, the remaining four being remanded for
the present, The witnesses examined were Willie/
Compton, Oeorge Baylis, Samuel Millward, Richer':
Compton, and Wm. Andrews, all of whom were engage"
in watching the preserves on the night of the attack'
The two latter, it will be recollected, were examined
on the inquest. Baylis and Millward swore to Dinely
as the man who shot at Baylis, whereby a poLf:
tion of the crown of his hat was blown away, though
escaped with a few slight injuries. The whole batch arP
well known by the police and others to belong to a i
of poachers who have for some time past nfested v"
neighbourhood of the Earl of Coventry's extensive prr
serves, and it is confidently expected that by lineal
next (when the inquest will be resumed) some others
the party will be in the hands of the police.

choking him ; indeed he could not even lay his "'
