STOCKHOLM, DEc. 24.—Our journals mention an
act of injustice done to a foreigner, 200 years since,
whose claims on the State have been officially re-
cognised more than once. This is the claim of a Po-
meranian captain, which was acknowledged in 1682,
at the sum of 33,000 dollars in silver, which, with
the interest, would now amount to a million. His
Majesty has now referred the heirs to the competent
tribunal to decide on the matter.

PETERSEURGH, DEC. 21.—Prince Alexander Ga-
Main, who but lately was restored to his sight by a
successful operation, died soon afterwards, on the
4th instant, of water on the chest, at his estate in the
Crimea, in the 71st year of his age.
MUNICH, DEC. 22.—According to a report, the
accuracy of which we cannot warrant, the Congress
of the Deputies of the States of the Zollverein next
summer is to be held in Munich. The numerous
complaints of the constantly-increasing number of
commercial travellers are to be again taken into con-
sideration
at this congress. _

Anne Louis Chretien, Duke of Montmorency,
Grandee of Spain of the First Class, Knight of the
French Legion of Honour, died here last night, at
the age of 75 years. He was a faithful adherent
of the exile Royal Family of France, and had resided
for more than ten years at Munich, where he made
many friends, though he lived in a very retired man-
ner. He was father of Prince Montmorency Robecq,
who was condemned a few weeks ago by the Correc-
tional Tribunal of Paris for having sold busts of the
Duke of Bordeaux.

ALTONA, DEC. 31.—The complaints that have been
so loudly expressed of late of the choking of the chan-
nel of the Elbe by sand, have induced a patriot to
make a model of a machine, by the use of which the
shoals in the Elbe may be entirely removed at no
great expense. He is now engaged in preparing for
the execution of his plan, and thinks to be ready by
the middle of February next year.
COLOGNE, DEC. 25.—1 t is said that in the next

THE YARMOUTH MURDER.—A rumour was very
prevalent in this town on Saturday evening, that the
hammer with which the fatal blows had been inflicted
was discovered behind a stone in Mr. Catchpole's house,
where Yarham lived when the murder was committed ;
another rumour was that a coat with blood upon it had
been found. These accounts, on inquiry, we found to
originate in the following very extraordinary circum-
stance, which must tend to criminate Yarham to no
inconsiderable extent. On searching Mr. Catchpole's
house more closely since the late examination, and in
consequence of something which transpired there, the
police found behind a door a wainscot panel, with a
number of pegs on it, used for the purpose.of hanging
clothes upon. Here it was that Yarham invariably hung
his coat, and at the bottom of the panel was a quantity
of blood, with just the appearance of having been wiped
off the flaps of a coat, when suspended against it. This
panel waa taken down and properly examined ; and the
result leaves no doubt but that the colouring matter is
blood. On the kitchen•door, leading towards the yard,
were also marks of blood similar to what would have
been made by a man with a bloody coat on coaxing past
it. There was also a spot evidently made by the knee of
a pair of trousers having, at the time of making it, I
blood upon theca—Su/MA Herald.
