public attention has been much occupied with
trial, Which has some resemblance to that of
the English bankers Strahan, Paul, and Bates.
One of the richest Jewish merchants there, L.
Meyer, was accused of bribins the clerks of tho
telegraph, for the purpose Of obtaining a knowl-
edge OF the contents Of the most important COM
nierc1ai telcgraphic messages, before the persons
to whom they were addressed. Two brothers
named Rickenheinl, one of whom is a clerk Of
Meyers were accused of being the persons by
whom VIII the alleged fraudulent communications
were carried on. Their business was always to
be at near the telegraph station, to convey
their employer the Intelligence which was com
mHlcated to them by the clerks at tho
teie9raph-office in the pay Of Meyer Never
himself is said to have made great sums of
money by this Infamous traffic. Thus an order
was semitic Herr Bieicroder, the agent Of
Rothsciaild's honse, to buy up 100, 600 thalers
Of shares il, the Cologne Mnden Railway. This
message was known to L. Meyer half al hour,
if not hour, before it WAS known to the
agent of Rothscid The consequence was,
that Meyer bought up as mach OF this paper
as he could, drove UP the price, and made IL
large profit by the Transaction This is only
one of many The trial came to g coz
-iusion on Monday, the 18th inst. Jancl tho
clerk, was condemned to three years iml,risou-
ment, Wit, loss of social rights as citizen for
five years. for having trallsgressed his official
duties; Jnlins Richenheim, for having bribed an
official, to two years imprisonment, with loss
OF social rights for two years; and lsidor Rich
enlem to half this term: Meyer the banker
Tor being accompIice i'll the said act Of bril,-
cry, to two and a-haIf years imprisonment, and
three years social degraslation. An attempt
is making to prevent similar frauds in future-
This IS not quite SO easy may be supposed,
the salaries of some Of the clerks in the tele-
grapl,-ofice being Tess than 800 year, whilst
the profits of single fraud may amount to-
,-f,;
a considerable share
