GERMANY . COKTJKUANCE OP THE BEIS _5 OP _TEBHOii 15 TIENNA . The correspondent of tho Tims under date , Vienna , Deo . 8 th writes as follows : — 'The enemies of the state of siege are grievously disappointed iB their hopes , which if they clung to , there have been two facta to convince them of their tatter futility . One of these faota is _aprcolamatien very similar to one which waa published a few weeks ago , warning the public to abstain from iuflammatory _langusg * * in coffeehouses and other places ot resort , end threatening those who make use of snch language with the penalties of a oourt martial ; _, the other is the execution of a journeyman smith , a native of Hungary , who was fonnd gnilty of
possessing and biding a loaded carbine and a _soore of ballcartridges . He was arrested early yesterday _mornisg , and tried , condemned , and sbot before sunset . The people exoresa their disgust at this summary preceding-, and argue , very unreasonably , that this _maaough * loha'e beea pardoned , or else that all other poaessora of weapons onght to have suffered the same punishment . I have heard many dark threata of vengeance uttered , in spite of the , _procla-• nation aga _' nst _iuflimtnatory language , aud in spite of the numerous informers that are said to be prowling _tbDut .

' A few weeks of tbat -stern rule bave already snllced to restore confidence ; trade is daily reviving , the thoroughfares are again swarming with aotive and busy people , and the tows presents if not a prosperoas appearance , yet one entirely different from its former _dssolatioB . So apparent are these advantage * , tbat I _underetaHd the merchants of Vienna are getting aps petition for _ _prolTngatioa _Oftlw state of siege . [ _Tive labourgeoitie ] « The drawing up and signing of this petition is lahour vainly spent , for there is no idea of any alteration of present measures go long as Hungary remains in si state of rebellion .

_-1 * dreadful punishment must follow ths dreadful deed . At length a _sapsrior ofi * er advanced and muttered a few words , which I could net understand . Bat tbeir meaning waa well understood hy the soldiers . Two files turned ofi ; tbe murderers , who seemed perfectly collected , placed himself in their midst , and they proceed , i round the comer of the street to the ruins ofa house that waa burned down during the _elege . The unhappy man stood against the blackened wall , his comrades fell back , tbree men advanced and levelled tbeir muskets . Their comrade fell dead , and the next moment they walked quietly bask to the regiment , which then proceeded onwards on its maroh . I _understand ' that the corporal had bees the cause of corporal punishment being inflioted on bis wretched murderer , who while smarting under the lash vowed he would have his revenge . Corporal punishment is _thalished bylaw , bat soldiers are _bsateu _eyery day ,
and most unmercifully too . I have often heard tbeir piteous cries when passing by the temporary _barraoks _intbe Loopoldttadt . ' [ Yet this same villanous' « or-Tespoudent' declares that * the present military government of Vienna is its greatest blessing . ' As regards these wretohed ruffians of soldiers , they deserve all they get , both in the way of beating and shooting . Recently they slaughtered their own fathers and brothers , and spared not even women and children . If they will do the work of blood , drinking , they deserve all they snff _* r . and may they suffer still more /] IsauBREcnoss . —A peasant , of the name of Koba _* _lifika , who was returned as deputy to the Austrian Diet , has raised the standard of revolt in Bukowania , aad excited the peasantry to commit great excesses . At Kratna serious dist urbances have broken oat ; they were excited by the students in the first instance Two regiments have gone off express to quell the riots .
. _FBiGHiroi Persscohon . —An ex-lieutenant of tho Austrian army ( LeBCzynBki ) has been sentenced _^ to twelve yeara' imprisonment in a fortress , for having taken part in tne late insurrection . Another individual named Urban has _alsi been condemned to twelve years' hard work in chains fer a similar offence . _PopuLiR Reve _& ob . —Event 3 have taken place at Vienna within the last few days whioh may not bs spoken of openly . An officer was killed by a _guoshor , which _wis fired from the window of a house in Josephstadt . The same evening one of the patrols was likewise fired at . Attempts of this nature are not rare .
STATE OF BERLIN . General Wrangel has , by proclamation , given permission for ' all the Christmas exhibitions and _amusemen ' _a to take place aa usual ; a great feature in them were the puppet theatres , with dialogues containing allusions ti the political topic i of the day ; but the prnclamstiyn _expreraly forbids such pieces to ba acted this year . Tiihder tbe penalty of closing the exhibition altogether , * yet almost side by side wi . 'h the order appears an advertisement of a * Political Christmas Evening / to be given daily during the holidays ia _Mylina ' _s Hotel , with two of these puppencomodie , and a series of' transparencies' illustrating
' patsive resistance , '' the Camarilla / 'the German Fleet , '' the Free and United Empire , '' the broadest foundations / ' There is no reaction / ' Monument to the Memory of all we got in Maroh _. 'l and other topics equally _suggestive . If the _annonce is anything more than a _sqnib ( advertisements of public amusements are allowed to te placarded } , a file of Grenadiers suppressing a puppet-show will hs a ' Christmas spectae ' e' worth the seeing . —Times . A Royal decree waa published on the llth . abolishing in _toto , from the lit of January , 1849 , aU stamp duties upon the political press , whether native or foreign , in compliance with tbe article on thiB subject ia the new constitution .
MORS _PERHECDHOKS . PrBorchhardt was tried and found guilty of _^ treason on the 7 h inst , and sentenced to twelve years ' imprisonment , and to be deprived of his national cockade ; apd Dr Ojch was tried and sentenoed to one year ' s imprisonment for endeavouring to excite insurrection . ThearKBtsin _Munster and other parts of West phalia are very numerous . The . parties ave oharged with attempting to organise an armed resistance to the government . _Entire districts of Silesia ( in
consequence of the excesses commuted by some peasantry , in two places , on the persons or property of landed proprietors , have been declared ia a state of siege , Tho S / _ile sianB ask why tbe same fate did not befall those districts in which Baron von _Falksnhausen , Count von Reichenbach , ( not the deputy of that name , ) Lieut- van Camay , and the large landed proprietor , Von Schweiniohen . were legally convicted of having committed great ( ia tw ) ca » es fatal ) _exesssB on the perEOCS of unoffending _citisens or oeasants ?
* Tbe Berlin Criminal Court having _canoloded its examination of tbs numerous witnesses in the prosecution of Dowiat aud his companions for the riot and attack ob the hotels of two of tbe Ministers in August last , has pronounced sentence in the sitting of to-day . Dowiat , as the leader , is condemned , to six years' imprisonment ; "duller , another ringleader , to the game term of punishment ; tha others found guilty of participation in the crime are sentencedtwo to _tliree-years , two to one year , and oae to six months' imprisonment ; sis are acquitted .
Tbe censorship has been established in those portions of Si , 'e _* ia which have lately hsen placed in a stateof siege . Amongst the ono hundred and twenty persons reoently arrested in various parts of Westphalia , are several of considerable influence—editors of newspapers , _merub ts of towa councils , councillors of justice , teachers , clergymen , and even military officers . The _osteEfiible grounds of their arrest are that they formed part of a congress , at Munster , having in view the carrying out of the decision of the National Assembly respecting the nonpayment
of taxes ; bnt it is suspected that , by imprisoning those democratioal leaden , _govervment hope to bib . vent them from exercising any influence on tho forthcoming elections . The arrest of the editor of tbe _Wkiphaltas Mercury , the referendary Loker , gave rise to an alarming riot at _Paderbcrn . Barricades were ereoted in various places , but chiefly tor the purpose ef preventing any farther attacks on the part of tbe military , who had employed unnecessary violence in dispersing the crowd assembled before tbe prison is whioh Herr _Loher wss detained .
The democratical party must not be _ooasidered , hQWBver _. _asholdingthemselvc-i vanquished . Rumours , not withont foundation , are afloat of several secret societies being formed , and ef these societies holding meetings in defiance of the police . Thia is not improbable , and may aorount for arrests of persons that take place now aud f h ° n _, and for the expulsion of others . Among the latter is M . Oppenheim , a doctor of law and philosophy _, ofthe Jewish persua _sion , and one of the principal founders and directors of the suspended journal , Rx * orh . —Morning Chronicle . Dowiat and the rest of the prisoners sentenced , to various terms of imprisonment for rioting have gives notice of appeal against the judgment . * They will be defended before the Court of Second Instance by the late deputy Jung . ¦
THE WAR IN HUNGARY . A correspondent of the Times , whose account of the state of affairs in Vienna wa have already quote *? , gives the following respecting the war in Hungary : — I oannot vouch for tbe authenticity of my latest news from Pesth , hut there Is au internal evidenoe of _eironm _. stanttal truth on the face ofit whioh almost eaforces belief . It is that the ne **' _ef the abdication of the old and the _adreat of h'nit , Emperor had no sooner _reiohsd Pasth than the _floogarisn Parliament _as-em-Vtd _^ and resolved unanimously that they accepted the Sing ' s abdication , which , _slace they had not been _cdu _sulied , they must _eonsider in the light ef an unoondi _tional resignation of the Crona ; that they refused to recognise Francis ' Joseph as _tkeirfr ' ng _, fer that it was _ezpres-ly stipulated in the Pragmatic Ssnotion that no person ander twenty years of age ikould _sacceed to tb _« _Honj-arian Crown ; and that for the future Hangary shonld be a Republic . If tbis news be confirmed , as I
h & Yeno doubt it will , thero is little hopes fer any _impre-sionthat the Emperor ' s manifesto _mr-y make , and thare is no alternative hut war to the knife . For this war the Hungarians have been incessantly preparing . They have forti & ed Presturg and Pesth , added to the fortification of Ximora , undermined » ll the _rea * s to their prtflelpal cities ; and I _uodersUoa , though it is hard to baliere , they have bnraed all tha towns and villages from Srnek an the _ieitba to _Presburg , so as to starve the Imperialists in their winter campaign .

State of St Margaret ' s Churchyard , Westminster , —I may venture to affirm , from my own observation , tbat 300 corpses are about the number annually added to the limited area of thiB pest spot . I have often witnessed scenes revolting to human feelings , when the grave diggers were seeking an eligible space for another interment by forcing a borer , something like a huge gimlet , into the earth . And when a space is found where an addition to putrescent matter can be received , bones are turned up in heaps , with fragments of muscle attached , not yet decayed and skulls , intact ; As every fresh coffin displaces a portion cf this hi g hl y infected earth , it is usually wheeled off and placed in a heap against the railings on the north side of Henry the Seventh ' s Chapel ,, where it remains until
sun and ram occasion its dispersion . When the wind is westerly the breeze is so sickening that the inhabitants of the apartments above the Rolls Court , and ia the other parts of this , building . fronting the churchyard , close their windows to shut it out , - be the weather ever so fine . The cabmen even feel its baneful influence , and , after nightfall , urge their jaded horses , when they have taken up ' a member , ' to gallop through the ' cut , ' as this part from the doors of the House of Commons to Bridge Street is named b y tbem , that tbey nay get quickly away from the deletettous atmosphere . Yet this , is the air which , our senators respire when they leave the Houses of Parliament , with fatigued lungs after long speeches , abstinence of refreshment , or dreary hours of attendance . —The Builder .

Unexpected Compensation . — A curious ease of robbery occurred on the night of Saturday last , in the neig hbourhood ol Sunderland . A working man named Reed , ' who resides in Thomas Street , Sunderland , ' was returning from Seahara Harbour , where he had been working , and on arriving within two fields of By hope Dean , was , attacked by three men apparently . 'navies . ' They demanded bis money , and after throwing him down , rifled his pockets of 18 s , the whole of bis week ' s _wageB . On getting iah » feet again , however , he told them he was a poor man , and that having * been out Of work for some time he had nothing else for his wife and children . He therefore begged hard of the robbers to give him but two shillings with which to buy a stone of floor . Two of them returned a stern
refusal , and all three of them walked on towards . Seaham , Shortly , however , ' one of them , commiserating the poor fellow ' s , plight , stepped behind and slipped him two shillings . Reed proceeded onwa : ds , but , on arriviog at Rvhope Dean , he heard the footsteps of three men running at a rapid rate behind . He took shelter at the back of a hedge , jnst in time fo see the rascals hurry past , and hear two of them swear that . they would have the money back . ' Afraid of losing bis couple of
shillings , Reed plunged into Ryhope Dean , and took to the beach . On arriving at . home he dolefully related his misfortune to bis wif _& and put his hand ia his pocket ' to draw _outbisi ' little all ; ' when lo ' there appeared , instead of ty ? o _noor _shilliueg ' _twd bright golden _sovereigns ! We _haveao doubt the lucky _, fellow . would _eonsent - to be robbed everv Saturday night , for a long time to * come , provided the robberies were invariably followed with a similar recompense ! .

MARLBOROUSH 8 TBEET ,--AtM 8 iD _Ptoanaa oj WB _TOIIBHKS A »» * " _CMATSAl , M HS-HU . T . — E , _SaulnUr and ' Marie _Dorallee were _re-eM-ninoa _* , for bavin- ; unlawful _possession of property valued at about £ S » _, 090 , belonging to King Louis Philippe and the mem . bers of his family , assumed to have been abstracted from tbe royal _pslnoes of the Tuileries aid tbe Chateau de _NouUly at the _csmmencem-at of the recent revolution In France , —Mr Bodkin , ' on behalf _« f the presint _cz-klnf of tbe 7 reBeh , addressing Mr Hardwlck , said : Sir , tbe partits before you ' having agreed wben last here to appc r again on their ewa _recornieances _, I am glad to bare an opportunity of mentioning some circumstance * whieh have occurred sinoe Ust week . It will be recollected thai
under a warrant from this court possession was taken of a variety of property supposed to belong to King Louh Philippe and the members of his family . Among other things were some articles of _jswallery wbich were produced here on the last occasion . These articles of jewellery were shown to a member of tbe royal finite , General Ghab * u * i « t , who , oa examining the property , stated that he confidently believed tbe _srtioJes to be tbe properly of tho rojBl family . It wai _deiirable , as I then intimated to you , that the articles should be submitted to the distinguished claimants or others who weuld be the mott competent to speak decisively on the question , because General _Chabsanss could tnly speak as to bis belief , judging from the general appearance ef tbe property . In consequence of this determination it was considered that
the most satisfactory ani conducive mods of obtaining tl / _it testimony would be to send to Paris for V , _Btpst _, sn eminent jeweller , who , In his capacity of jeweller , was acquainted with the jewols of the royal family , It wsi supposed that M . Bapst was the person who oonld ipeak with most confidenoa as to the _awnersbip ef tho jewels , aad he immediately oame over here . M . BapBt after examining the articles , statea , that although there was a oleae _r-semblaaoe between those produced and articles of tfae same kind belonging to the royal family , yet tbey were not jewellery belonging to the royal family , though the _artloles had been made in imitation of the royal jew els , and bore se close a resemblance to them , that the ; might properly be described as fat similes , and nobod ; but a jeweller could distinguish then from similar articles
_kelonrio- ; to the royal family . Considering that those articles present all the _appearsnoe of _ariioles belonging to the royal family , It It a _strimge coincidence that they are found ln the possession of psrtleB who have alte possession of a piotore about which tbere is no _qne'tios of ownership . But as in M . Bapst ' b opinion tbe property only resembled the royal jewels , and reference haying- been made to ths royal family ou tha subject , it was at once decided tbat nil claim on the part of the royal family should be withdrawn . In adopting this course I am acting in pursuance of iastructlonsfrom my royal clients , it being proper that _individuals ia thc-ir d _' _g . _tingnlihtd station of lifo should at onee withdraw tbeir _olulm [ of ownership where a shadow of doubt arises . With respeot to the other artloles , tht same _forbearance
In not olaiming the property as belonging to tbe royal family will be exorcised , and the same _csurea taken , aa Tn tbt oase ef the more valuable articles . So far then , _tir , at year _jurlsdictloa is concerned , this matter w !>\ lbo withdrawn from your notice , and I shall not trouble you ( o make aay adjudication under the ect upon which the proceedings hava b « n founded . —Mr Hardwlck _; Do 1 understand that this withdrawal applies to the picture ? —Mr Bodkin : I withdraw all olaim to the _property un dar this not , and I withdraw all appeal to yeur jurisdiction , for if yon were to erder tbe ploture to be rtstored , it r > _suld not confer a title to the property , and it would only he in the nature of a guarantee for its detention . Tbe act does not bar oar civil olaim , and as the claim to tbe articles ef grtater value is withdrawn under existing
circumstance * , so I ash to withdraw all olaim to tha smaller articles . —Mr Wontner _ta _' . d , as tho professional ad riser of the Baron de Bassagne * , wbo wss not present , he shonld feel that he nsgleoted his client ' s interest if he allowed the proceedings ts terminals withont some further explanation , The baron had been held out as an impostor . He was sta ' ted ' t ' o be no baron , bnt something else . Ee was desirous , therifore , tbat tbe public mind should be _dliabastd on this and on some other polats _. The bsron was a . native ef the Isle de Bourbon . Ia early life he rendered important services to his oountry by establishing sugar plantations in that colony , sad by introducing British _maohlnesy for the purpose of ex . tr toting the sugar with greater facility , So eminent were his _Bervlcee , that Louis XTI 1 I . made htm a baron of tbe
realm , The Baron de _Bsstagnes naturally felt annoyed that it had gone forth to the world that he was somebody with an alias , and hs csmplsined generally of the _treatmnthe had received , —Mr Hsrdwick said , so far as hi * recollection served him of what passed in conrt at the last examination , be was not aware that any _rtflection whatever had been caet on the character of Baron de Bastagnes , or tbat _sny denbt had been cast On his title , —Mr _Yfontner said he had seen the baroa deaonbed with an alias , The baron csme over to this _country with articles of _jawellery in his possession to _dlBpose of . He had been compelled co do tbis , because , a * one of tbe first acts ofthe _Republic was to abolish slavery , he bad been deprived of bis property in 600 slaves , and having reoeived ao remittance from bis estate , he bad betn
obliged to dispose of _tesao of the costly article * whioh he had brought over to this country for tbe parpoie of sale . The baton bad bought some of these very articles from , the jewollor of King Louis Philippe , The police came to his room and took possession of his property on a groundless suspicion . The baron ftlt that he had beea grievously treated , and that not the slightest pretence existed for assailing his choraottr , or taking _possession of his property . The baron bad sent to M , Bapst , and te otber jswelltrs from whom he bad made purchase * , end he was ready to show bow he bacsme _pesssiBtd of the articles found in his keopbg _. But he would not gelnto that matter as the oharge had been . nlthdrawn , Ee would content himself with saying that bis respectable olUnt was ready to show thathe
wa _« tbe lawral ewner ef the jewellery , With respeot t » thb picture , that was not in Baron de _Baessgne *' * possession , and he need not enter into that question , Tae picture was not pert of the baron ' s property , but had beeu committed to the care of bis secretary , Eugene de Saulnier . —Mr Bodkin said hie observations at the last _henriag were expressly limited te the two individuals presint , who had assumed tho title of baroa and _buonets . Ee had not thrown any doubt on the title of Baron de _Basssgnes—Mr _Woninersub' _-quently referred to a French newspaper , and fonnd that be had been in error—that it was the defendant Sau l nier wbo wss described with _., an ' otherwise , ' and not Baron de Basse _gaes Mr Wontner admitted the mistake into which he had fallen . —Mr Hardwlck said it was an extraordinary clroamstance to fisd a portioa of tbe property
known to . bare been lost in one of tbe royal palaces in France in the hands of parties whe had other pro . perty ot their owa to dispose of . This naturally threw a suspicion on the parties , and led to inquiry , and the ctraumttancea _;« hlah have been stated justified that in . qalry . The proceedings , however , had been imoaedla ely Withdrawn ., when a competent witness oame forward snd stated that the artides wero only similar in _manufaeturo to the royal jewels , —The defendants ; were abont to be discharged , when a Castom House _officer came forward and claimed to seta tbe whole of the property , on the ground tbat tbo articles consisted of foreign goods wkicb had come into tbis country without psyiog duty . He wished to _isapaund the goods , and to bave them ttken fer safe custody to the _oustozn-bouBe _, until tbe owner could prove that ths duty had been _regultrly paid . — if r Wontner said all the articles had come over
with the baggage of the owners , —They had beeu _exhiblisd at the oastom house either at Dover or _Folkestone , and had passed as _paisengs's * baggage , —The custom honse offio-r said if the artloles had passed ia the regular nay the parties could produce tha neoessary proofs . He would seize the property oa the part of the crowa . — Seals were accordingly p ' aoedon the property , —The defendants were then liberated .
