Betrayal of Teiegraphic Secrets AT
Berlin public attention has been much &C.
cupied with trial, which has some re-
semblance to thu, of tho English bankers
S,rahan, Paul and Bates. One of the
riches, Jewish merchants there, L. Mey.
er, was accused of bribing tie clerks OF

most important commercial telegraph
messages. before the persons to whom
they were addressed. Two brothers nam

business was TO be e, OF near the ,e!e.
graph station, TO convey TO their employ
er the intelligence witch was communi-
Gated to them by the clerks Of the tele-
graph Office, in the pay Of Meyer. Mey.
er himself is said to have made great
sums Of money by this Infamous traffic.
Thus an order was sen, to Herr BleicL-
roder, the agent Of Ro,hschlld's house, 10
tuy up 1000, 900 ,halers Of shares in the
Cologne Ninden Railway. This message
was known TO L. Meyer half al hour, il
TO, an hour, before /. was known TO the
agsn, Of Ro.hschild. The consequence
was ,ha, Meyer bough. as much o. the
paper as be could, drove up the price, and
made large prof, by the transaction.
This is only onelof many cases. The trial
came TO conclusion on Monday, the
18th inst. Jaack, the clerk, was con-
demnsd to three years Imprisonment with
loss OF social rights as citizen for five
years, for having ,ransgresssd his official
duties. julius Reichenheim, for having
bribed an official, to two years imprison-
