So secretly , in fact , was the 'whole affair managed—trial ,

At Dresden , on the 13 th , the case of Blum was brought before the second chamber by . Tscbirner , who asked ministers what , h » d been done in' tbe matter . ' -
The minister Von Pfordten replied ,. that . wheh the Saxon govemmept learnt the state of things iu Vienna , instructiota were sent to the Saxon embassy there to . afford the necessary protection to all subjects of that kingdom . When it became known that Blum had been taken prisoner , instructions h ere sent on the 8 th inst . to protect him from further prosecution , by virtue of his being a native of Saxony . Before these instructions reached Vienna he had been shot . The government had since written to their envoy at Vienna to demand all Blum's effects , and to see that the necessary ceremony for his interment should be attended to ; and further to demand that all the necessary documents concern , ing the condemnation of Blum be eent to the government at Dresden .
Tscairuer then moved that tbe Ssxon ambassador at Vienna be requested to render a full account of his coadaot , and that the . Central Power be called upon to take energetic steps to . obtain an atonement for the injury inflieted on the honour of Germany by the |* murder of Blum . This mbtioa was adopted , and was subsequently taken up and passed iu the first chamber . ' Frodel , the companion of Blum , arrived at Dresden on the 14 th inst . '
SITTING OF IHE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY . Fbahkfoht , Nov . 10 . —M . Kirdhgessner , reporter of the . committee on Austrian affairs , presented a report on the motive of M . Simon ( of Treves ) , touching the arrest and execution of M . Robert Blum . The committee proposed unanimously the following resolution : — . The National Assembly , in protesting In the face of all Germany against the arrest and execution of Robert Blum , which has been perpetrated ia contempt of tbe laws of tbo empire , of Sept . SO last , summon the minis , try of the empire to take the most energetic measures to bring to trial aad punish the persons who are , directly or indirectly , implicated in the said crime . This proposition was discussed , by the Assembly , unanimously adopted , and declared to be urgent . M . Nauwerckfhen presented as urgent the following resolutions : —
1 . The ministry of the empire shall order the Prussian government to render an account of its conduct in dissolving the Burgher Guard of Berlin , aud declaring tbat city in a state of siege . ¦ 2 . The legal right of the Prussian people , and parti , cularly of the Cbnetitaaat Assembly of Prussia , are placed under the protection of tbe empire . ' 8 . A commission ef the empire shall be' sent immediately to Berlin to < earry into execution these resolutions . '' ¦ •• • ¦ - These resolutions were unanimously agreed to , and the commission was ordered to set off immediately , which they did . , Letters , from Vienna of the 15 th speak of growing discontent asd opposition in the minds of most of the inhabitants , even amongst many who were formerly
staunch friends ef the government . The proclamation issued , admoniebing the people to abstain from inflammatory tHeMursee , and calling upon tho well meaning tonnite in ' defeating the . ruinous plans of the agitalore . had little effect ; the people still think the only way ef settling their difference is by the edge ot the aword , and that barricades are the most natural metna of remonstrance . At lea it a third of the weapons taken from the arsenal are still in the hands of the people , and ; when the general disarmament wee proc ' aimed , in spite of a rigorous search the suburbs contributed little .
The'com of the late events at Berlin produced a profound sensation in Vienna . The Berlin papers were teed aloud in all the coffee houses . Crowds thronged round the readers , interrupting them by exclamations indicative ef their disgust or approbation . * f he King ' s proclamations were received with shouts of derision . Tke people , though tongue-tied on the -subject of theirewn affairs , thought themselves justified ia giving fall vent to tbeir feelings in t ' BOCSBaof a foreign state . It was ef Vienna that people thought : they cheered their own party , and in jeering the King of Prussia they thought of their ewaEraperor .

A letter from Berlin - of the 17 lh inst ., says : Intense excitement prevailed last night in Breslau , but there was ho disturbance . Late last night , the municipal authorities of that town camej to a
resolution to abide by the decision of the'National Assembly with reference to the non-payment of the taxes . This decision when announced to the eager multitude assembled in front of the Town Hall , was received with enthusiastic applause . The board of aldermen at Etesian have already declared that they will not' forward to the royal treasury any taxes of imposts , but kesp the funds , in saw custody until the differences between the throne and the National Assembly are removed . In nearly nil the towns oh the line of railway inSilesiasimilar demohstrationshave been made . At the instigation of the ' civic authorities the public treasuries were placed under the ' siotaction of two battalions of the civic guard . '' ' " •'
The * permanent committee ' of the civic authorities at Breslau have taken-possession of 2 , 040 stand of arms ( the properly of a private contractor of this town ) on the ground that they had reason to apprehend that those guns might be employed for purposes hostile to the people . Bbblis , Nov , 18 . —The crisis continues , but , notwithstanding , tranquillity reigns throughout the city . It is reported here that the King is anxious to abdi cate in favour of the Prince of Prussia . Arrests are going on ; amongst the arrested are the democrats Bisky , Ochah , Lepke , Mr Bsnarig , the editor of tueVoLts Blotter , Mr Thide , the editor of tbe PosuoiaT , and an officer of the 12 th Regiment , who declared , in the face of his men , that it was an act of high treason to fire upon the people . It'is likewise affirmed that Major # Heerwarth has been put under arrest , because he did not prevent the faction of the National Assembly from passing the vote to refuse tbe taxes .
( From the correspondent of the Times . ) Bbbmh , Nov . 19 th . —Tho process of disarming the Civic Guard has been carried on through the whole , of yesterday with the same result as on the days precedinsr , though the district taken was that ' quarter chiefly inhabited by the working men , mechanics , and others , from' whom soma degree of resistance waa anticipated . But thef have kept their promise to act in this respect like , the rest of tha body , that yields to overwhelming force without provoking a useless conflict . It is , impossible to ascertain exactly the proportion of arms recovered by the government , and in the uncertainty that prevails , assertions are made that it is . not so large as represented , and that great quantities have been given away by the holders , or secreted . But the search
is so close and complete , that for any great number ' to escape is almost impossible . All expression ol public opinion beine prohibited , there is a perfect quiet and . apathy on the surface of things ; but beneath it there is unquestionably the most bitter ahd angry feeling against the government . Arrests are numerous ; the town-prison and the Hausvogtei are full ; the state prison at / Moabit , whieh has stood empty since the liberation of the Polish prisoners in March , is again occupied . Professor Benary , > nd Thiele , the editor of the Publicist , are among the number ot those in custody . One officer of the 12 th regiment has also been sent to Spandau for inciting his men to disobey orders . The palace is occupied by 1 , 500 men ; a company of Jagera are stationed on the roof , and there are twelve piscss of artillery in the courtyard ;
There has been one execution under martial law ; a soldier in the early part ot the military ocoupatiordeserted his past while on duty , threw off his uniform ) and attended one of the last meetings of a political club ; he waa shot in the Hasen-haide by sentence of the court martial . The Republican and Socialist journals are all « pp « sseu » ¦ The committee of the Rhenish club of Democrats , sitting at Cologne , has issued an appeal to all the democratic associations of the province to reristtbe
levying ef taxes by force , to organise the Landalurm and provide it with arms and ammunition , and to nominate committees of safety in conjunction , if possible , with the communal council , wherever the authorities shall refuse to execute th * resolutions of the National Assembly .

' -r-On ' Saturday a ' ri inquest ' waa neld before Mr TMley , if ; P ., at the Elephant and pas ; . tle , King ' s Road , St Pancras , on the body of II . Shaw , aged'flvo months . The body had been buried , but was exhumed by order of the ; coroner , who said he had called the jury together under - circumstances of a most peculiar character , and although there could be , ho doubt about the . death of the child arising from natural causes , still he had felt bound to ^ aye an inquiry into the . case . The child , with his father and'five , other children , was admitted
iht 6 ; ] the workhouse on-the Slstof October . Itremained iri the workhouse for twelve ' days under medical treatment , died on the 12 th of November , and . was . buried , and it was not until after the burial that tha father , though , living . under tbe same roof , even knew of the child having been ill . The father , feeling a suspicion that his child had been improperly treated ; wrote to the ' coroner , who felt that he ' should not be performing his" duty if he did not grant ' tbe ' roan ' s request and hold an inquest . S . Shaw ,. jhe father of the child , stated that the last tiraehe , s . aw any . of his children was on the . day he entered the . workhouse . The deceased child was
hen m good health , and was taken , he understood , to the 'iafant ward . He never saw or heard of it again until Tuesday last , when he- heard it was buried . —Francis Waring , a nurse in the infant ward , said she attended 'to the deceased child . It was ill from the 1 st of November till the 12 th , when it died . The child was seen , every , other day by Mr Robinson , and by his order bad arrow-root and milk and bread and milk , but it could not swallow—The Coroner said that in all cases like the present he always considered it best to have a gentleman entirely unconnected with the workhouse to make examinations , and had selected Dr Quain tb do so . — Dr , Quain said he had made a post-mortem
examination . -Thechild was extremely emaciated , ahd much wasted away . : Tlie cause of death was ulceration of the bowels , wheh lie should think had existed more than twelve days . There were no traces of food in the stomach . —Heaton , the master of the workhouse , said that it was so seldom they had'a father in the house with a family of children , without the mother , that such a thing might occur as what had in the present instance ; It the father knew the child was ill ' when it came in , he ought to have made an application to see it . He ( Heaton ) attended in his office every morning from half-past eight to nine for the purpose of hearing applications from the paupers . — Coroner : The man did not know the child v > as ill ,
and it seems extraordinary that Silvester Shaw is received into the workhouse with six children , and there ia no one to tell him that one of his children is ill until , after it is carried to the churchyard . —¦ Shaw said , with respect to the ether children , he believed them to be in different parts of the building , but becouldnot see them . Last- Wednesday week he tried to see the master for the purpose of making an application to see his children but was repulsed , by a man named Riley . —Heaton said the father should see the children at any time if he made the application ; e-The jury , in returning a verdict of 'Natural Death , ' suggested that a printed copy of the rules and regulations should be hung up in every ward .
The Poor in St Pancras . —At a meeting of the board of directors held on Tuesday , to inquire into charges made at an inquest as to the death of a child , whose father , it was said , had not been informed of its illness until after the child ' s burial , it was . resolved : —That the board views with much regret the circumstanca that the master of the workhouse should have neglected to have informed Sylvester Shawsof the death of his son and that in ail cases of death in the workhouse the master be requested immediately to inform the nearest relative of the deceased thereof , and that this decision of the board be read to the master . '
. Death of a Lunatic—An inquest was held be « fore Mr Mills , at Hendon , on the body of Matthew Ginger , who , was alleged to have died from illtreatment received while a lunatic in the workhouse of St Marylebone . —Elizabeth Ginger , mother of the deceased , stated that- the deceased was thirty-five years of age , and had died on Sunday ( the 24 th ) , at the house of his brother-in-law , in Hendon , where he had been eight days . He was alunatic , and had been for some time in Marylebone workhouse . When sensible he complained very much of the bad treatment he received in the workhouse , and showed marks of injury he had received there . Other
witnesses deposed to the deceased having comphined of ill-treatment while at the workhouse . —J . Brown , who had known the deceased , proved that he had been refused at Bedlam as being incurable . He was very violent , and not only had they been obliged to put him in a strait-jacket , but to strap him down to the bed . That would account for the . sores ou his body . Did not believe that he had received any ill-treatment in the workhouse . Ou the contrary , he believed he was most humanely treated . —Mr Heaton , a a urgeon , who had made a post mortem examination of the body , proved that the cause of death was inflammation of the brain .-Yerdict , « Died of disease of the brain .

FiBE'At Lloyd's . —On Saturday morning last , between twelve and one o ' clock a quantity of smoke was seen issuing from the window of the readingroom attached to Lloyd's , immediately facing Bartholomew-lane , and over the northern entrance . With every haste the police alarmed the housekeepers and watchers , and information was . promptly forwarded to the chief station of the brigade in Watling Street . Two engines were promptly in attendance , and the firemen , having effected an entrance the flames were subdued . On Monday , at one o ' clock , Mr W . Payne , the City corroner , instituted an inquiry before a jury of merchants , at the Old
England coffee-house , Threadneedle Street , into the origin of the fire which , on Friday last , occurred in the reading-room at Lloyd ' s . Prom the evidence it appeared that a istove at the extreme end of Lloyd's ¦ reading-room had been fitted into the space of the window , and an iron belt or stay which held what is termed the fire lamp of the stove to the main brick-work passed so close to the woodwork of the windows as to fire it The jury found that the fire arose from want of due precaution in fixing the ¦ stove , and recommended the committee of Lloyd ' s to rastitute an investigation as to the plan adopted in setting the stoves throughout the building .

It appeared that on Vhe previous nieht , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , tha woman and her husband were heard to quarrel in tha kitchen , where they had been sitting . Shortly afterwards the husband was heard to threaten to murder her , and heavy blows were distinctly heard , accompanied by theories of' murder . ' The parties in tbe house became alarmed , aud sent for tbe wife ' s
brother , Mr White . " residing in the neighbourhood who attended , and endeavoured to fores open the kitchen deor ; the husband , however , prevented his doing so , when be went to the back of the house and forced his way into the kitchen , and on entering it the husband was standing calmly looking on , but with no weapon in his hand , when the first thing he said was . ' You had better give me into custody / The room was in the utmost confusion , and on looking under the table , White found his sister lying in a state of Insensibility , bleeding profusely from a wound in the right temple and from othes
parts of her head . In the mean ' . ime the front doot was opened , and further assistance obtained , and One of the police constables of the S division was called in , who took the husband into custody , and C onveyed him to the station . Owing to the insensibility of the wife , nothing can be gleaned as ta what had passed between them . As soon as the husband was given into custody , Mr Crisp , surgeoa of Walworth , attended , and had the unfortunate woman removed from the kitchen to the up-staira bed-room , where the wounds were dressed , Tha husband was examined at Lambeth police-office and remanded .

This occasioned a fnrther search , a d a second ske >
leton was discovered , to which the stray rib properly belonged . Both were obviously those of young persons ; and , as the garden is in the neighbourhood ia which lirsd the notorious Bishop and Williams , who were executed fer the murder of an Italian boy , the gossips of thai locality at once came to the conclusion that they were the remains of some unknown victims of those murderers . Bishop and Williams were , however , diwiples of Hare and Burke , and carried their carcasses to a better market ; and popular supposition is , therefore , improbable . On Wednesdav an inquest was held upon the skeletons , ween the Jury returned a verdict to the effect 'That the banes found were those of two females , but how the parties came by their deaths there was no evidence to enable them to determine .

Whitb , the Guaedsman . —Towbr . —Frederiei ; White , the private of the 2 nd battalion of Grenadier Guards , who was convicted a short time ago of rob ' blng a French National Guard , was on Monday morning expelled from the eervics . Alter the usual inspection the battalion was drawn up on parade , and formed into hollow rquare , when Colonel Sic Ord Honyman , Bart ., the commanding officer , ordered tha delinquent to step forward , and addressed him aa follows ;— ' Frederick White , the crime of which yon have been convicted by the civic power is at all times cOEsidered most disgraceful and degrading to the character of a soldier ; but , considering the consequences reaultingfrom it in your ease , it is a cn ' met of tbe deepest dye . You robbed a soldier of the
French National Guard , & stranger in this country * who , in the generous warmth of the . moment on meeting a fellow soldier , invited yon to drink . Ia robbing him you committed an act which not only stamped yonr own name with infamy , but compromised tho character of the whole British army ; ' fer tint soldier , on his return to his country , beyond aU doubt , published through the ranks of the French ; army that he had been robbed in Enghnd , and that the robbery had been perpetrated by a soldier of tha Queen of England's Guards . What atonement can you make for the stain thus oast on tbe charscter of the soldiery of England ? What atonement foe having outraged the feelings of every good soldier in the army ? None . The sacrifice of your miserable ) existence would not redeem the deed . The only coneolation loft us is , that you will no longer be suffered
