The King of Prussia, according to custom, has avoided the homages of his natal anniversary.— lie went to the Isle des Paons, at the confluence of the Spree and Havel, near Potsdam. It is a delightful retreat, in the midst of our plains of sand, where there is a superb collection of Ilowers, particularly of 'roses. The King, who much enjoys himself there, has lately embellished it by purchasing, for 30,000 crowns, a now col lection of roses and exotic plants. It is also the , favourite retreat of the Princess Royal, daughter • of the King of Bavaria. There will be three camps of exercise this au tumn ; in Silesia, near Breslau ; in Prussia, near Konisberg ; and in Pomerania. The troops of the garrison and Royal Guard of Berlin will also snameuvre in the vicinity of that capital. There are two remarkable things in the mea sure which we announced in o ur l as t number—. viz. the creation of a Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs, and the .choice of the Prelate appointed' to this high function; both .merit , the gratitude of the clergy. The formation of a Special Nii aistry for Ecclesiastical Affairs has long been -earnestly desired by the friends of religion, and -may lead to results of the highest' importance to. the Church of France.

A revolt on the part of ,the felons condemned to, the gallies for life, at Toulon, had long since been apprehended, and measures had been taken to suppress it, if it broke out. On the 23d ul - at noon, at the moment that those who were employed upon the ground of Mourillon were entering a shed uncles- which they repose during suspension from labour, one of them, with a cutting instrument, struck the sergeant of the guard, who, finding himself attacked, drew his sword, and stretched the felon who had wounded him deed at his feet. This was the signal of re. volt. They all rushed upon the guards, who, in defence, fired upon the assailants. M. Reynaud, Commissary of Marine, hastened to the spot,and -order was promptly restored. In this unfortu. nate affair, 16 of the galley-slaves were killed, and several wounded. M. Hurtado, the Colombian Minister at Lor TURKISH BARBARITY. ODESSA, AUG.

ITORRIBLE Morrow.--A most foul'and hardly credible murder has been committed in the Canton of Forte, in the Department of the Seine and Oise. The following are the details :—On the 10th of August n girl, 'l3 years of age, went, about five o'clock in the evening, into the wood to gather herbs. On tier not returning, a search was made on the two following days, but with. out any success. On the 13th, a man, whose clothes were stained with blood, was taken up, and on the lath, some persons, who were still searching the wood, disc overe d, i n t h e cavity.of a rock, which appeared to have served as, a habitation to some one, the body of a young girl, covered with sand and heath, the hands tied behind the back, and the legs doubled up under the belly ; there were several stabs of a knife on the thighs, and one in the heart. The parents of the girl who had been missing immediately re cognized in this mutilated corpse their ill-fated child. The circumstance being made'known to the Attorney -G eueral, he came to the spot, and had brought there also the man who been arrested some days before, for having blood upon his garments. He was confronted with the body, but showed no signs of remorse or confusion. On the 21st day, after the exhumation of the body, he was again brought to look upon it, when he shut'. dered and confessed his crime. He declared, that for the last 40 days he had inhabited the cavity in the rock ; that on meeting the young girl, he suddenly seized her by the neck, thrust his handkerchief into her mout h, and, throwing her over his shoulders, made for the cavern. After walking a quarter of a league, he found that his victim had ceased to breathe or move ; he then threw her on the ground, and stabbed and mutilated the body in the manner above described. lie added, that on drawing the knife from her heart, he sucked the blood which fol lowed it, which was nearly as much as would fill a wiue-tumbler.— : (Paris Paper.) INSANITY AND DEATH FROM APPREHENSION OF HYDROPHOBIA. On Thursday evening last an Inquest was held at the Castle inn, Birmingham, on view of the body ofjames Eades, whose `death was attended with circumstances of an unusual nature. ' John Alcock, a painter, stated he had known the deceased far 14 or 15 years; he was the town-crier,. and dealt besides in dogs and pigeons. About nine weeks ago he had been bitten by a 'dog, as he was administering to it medicine ; but he said it was his own fault, as he was warned not to go too near it ; lie fur ther said he had been to a surgeon, by whom his finger had been scraped, and afterward burnt at this time the deceased had two fingers of his right hand wrapped up. Witness had met the deceased nearly every morning since, in a spirit-shop, where each of them had a glass. The deceased was frequently in a state of the greatest intoxication, and was so as often as be could afford it. About five weeks ago, witness saw him at the end of Union-street, when he complained of being unwell; lie said that people kept telling him he would go mad, and many, under that impression, had refused to sit beside him, lest he should bite them, " but," said he, taking hold of witness's hand, "If I do, Jack, I won't bite you." A few days after the death of a man in Thomas.street, from hydro , phobia, witness again saw the deceased at the end of New. street; he seemed uncomfortable, and very much frightened; he said to witness he could feel something in his hand more than Aisne' ; that the doctors had told him he must have his hand cut off; but that he would ore his life before he would lose his hand. Notwithstanding this, the deceased kept up his old habit of drinking spirits. On Saturday morning last, witness met the deceased at Mr. Smitlea,- Tamworth Arms, in Moor. street; be was crying, and caught hold of his hand saying— " Jack, 'tis all over with me, will you come and help to carry me to my grave?" Witmas tried all in his power to comfort him, and the next morning, between eight and nine o'clock, witness called on him ; he was then in bed; but his wife said he WItS getting better. On Monday last he saw him again at his bedside. lie began to talk very incoherently; so much so, that witness thought lie was completely out of his mind ; he said the rogues wanted to poison Inns; and then, lifting up his hand, lie said, " Hew can I possibly live? lam part a man, and part a beast." Having said this, lie threw himself violently on the bed, and began to beat his head with his hands ; lie continued very violent, and his conversation and behaviour was that of a man raging mad. About 11 o'clock Mr. Smith, of the Tamworth Arms, called; he became more violent, and got out of bed, and snatched from the table what he supposed to be a razor, but it was only the end of a fan ; with it he tried to make a violent cut at Mr, Smith • he had previously tried to wound witne s s w ith a pair of snuffers;l lie also kept crying out, " that he could see the dog th a t h a d bi t him ;" and became completely outrageous. Mr. Smith said he should be secured, and witness, under his direction, ap. plied to Dr. Booth, who sent him to the work-house for a strait waistcoat ; having procured one, witness returned, and was surprised to see ban clown stairs with a man of the name of Lewis, and his son . ; having inquired the reason, they told him he had been very quiet anti comfortable talking to hie wife; in a minute after witness heard him making a violent noise, upon which he went upstairs to -him, and found him parading the room, with a candle and candlestick in his hand. At that moment a child i n a l ower roo m b ega n to cr y, an d h e desired his wife to go to it, but not be long away; she went for that purpose: he came there, blew out the candle, and rushed to the door ; his son slipped under witness's arm, and went down stairs to procure a fresh light ; and witness, by getting outside the door and pulling it close, prevented the deceased getting out. In moment after, he heard the casement of the window fly back, but nothing fall. He went back to the room when the light was procured, and searched for the deceased. Not finding him, he wenedown stairs, and saw him running down the yard. Th ere we re thirty or forty persons, amongst who bad suffered th them two w a t c h men , e poor man to run pa s t them; th e watc h men too k to the streets for safety. IVanesa followed him, and was told he had leaped over a wall into the premises of 31r. Attack, the butcher ; the wall was about six feet on the outside, and but three feet high on the other. Hay. ing procured a Candle; he looked over the wall, and discovered the et of the unfortunate man sticking straight up out of an iron furna ce or vat .

The deceased called on him daily until , u . 7 n ualivay the end of July, when the wound had healed n i ji at that time the deceased had been under no appreliensi o being liable to the disease of hydrophobia, as lie used to st I so frequently, Oust he thought the bite e bail been bitten no dog would affect. him, whether mmerely o f )Y l or not, and lie accede hve the bitten part removed from t h e solicitude of others. Oa a Sat a urday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the deceased applied to him to have his finger removed, and sa id , i f witness would not do it, he would apply to the heqiital ; witness told hint it was per. fectly unnecessary. The finger w as t h en very much contracted . into the palm of the hand, and his hand and liwollen and exceedingly painful. T e mud The impression ariulv" ) on deceased's mind that evening w a s, that he must die, and he begged th a t he might not b e smothered, but bled to death. Dr. Booth, a physician, was called t o attend the deceased t on approaching mini with is fan, for the purpose of producing a draught of cold air, or with a pitcher of water—the usual tests where hydrophobia is easpected—he equally recoiled, but it struck witness very forcibly that Its horror was to the individual approaching him, and not to the fan or water. lie would not attempt to swallow, open his mouth, or pay the least regard to any question which was put to him ; it was, however, evident that the draught of cold air, either from the window or the fan and the sight of the water from a pitcher, did not prod uce any convulsion, such as is caused in hydrophobia.' Perceiving t h is , witness prevailed on him, after about an hour and a half, to swallow some water, which did not produce any convulsive ac. tion whatever; the next morning a very material clianpfe for the better was observed. Ile spoke calmly, and said he felt the most excruciating pain in the bitten parts, and along the course of the arm and neck it was very evident lie conceived himself to be suffering under hydrophobia, and perceiving this to be the Impression on the deceased'a mind, he had endeavoured to dis. sipate that impression, and to a certain extent succeeded. The medical treatment of the man was accommodated to circunt. stances, and he wax kept as quiet as possible. He continued progressively improving until Monday morning, at 8 o'clock, at which time there appeared a remission of every symptom, and the tuie of his limbs and right arm was quite recovered.... If the disease of the deceased had been hydrophobia, that would not have been the case. Water was offered him repeat. edle to drink, which he swallowed without difficulty, totally free from the spasms that accompany that disorder. At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, symptoms of insanity were but too perceptible; the &teased said " he barked like a dog;" and when witness told him that he doubted it,thatit was a sud. den drawing in of his breath, he proceeded to g.ive a specimen, but it was nothing more than an imitation ; lie then said he was of two species, half mart and half beast, and that he was not fit to live. At nine o'clock the same evening, be was in an in. creased state of excitation, anti with the greatest difficulty he succeeded in composin hint ; the witness was of opinion hi s disease was not hydrophobia, but that he was muttering under a derangement of mind, of which the dread of hydrophobia was the hallucination. Mr. Ingleby further deposed, that he had opened the b ea d and body of th e deceased ; the blood-vessels of the head w ere much loaded w i t h blood, and there was an adhesion of brains to the skull, but this appeared to have been of long standing; the stomach presented a very mottled appearance, but w as not in the least inflamed ; the a pp e arance of - the lungs were such as would arise from death by suffocation. After an able address from the Coroner, the Jury, under his directions, returned a verdict of—" Accidental Death." ASSAULT ox BAti.r.tprs.--On Monday night (80th ult.), as the horses of James Browne, which were to perforni.in Oscar and Marina, had left their stable for that purpose, they w ere se i zed b y virtue o f an attachment from the Lord Mayor and Sheriff's Court, for 101., at the suit of David Gunning against James Browne. James Browne, and his equestrian party, resisted the execution of the writ, and a scuffle then ensued, during 'which one of the bailiffs, named Shiel, had his ann nearly cut in two by a stroke of a broad. sword carried by some of the party. The other bailiffs, Turpin and Coffey, were also severely cut and beaten with swords and sticks. It was f oun d necessary to remove Shiel to Mercer's Hospital.

FOR THE SUN. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. Between the hours of fire and six o'clock last ' evening, the neighbourhoods of Field-lane, Saf i fron-hill, Sharpe's-alley, and West-street (Smith field), were thrown into the most pitiable alarm and confusion by the sudden fall of an extensive iron store at the rear of Mr. ALE X . ANDER GALLOWAY'S premises in West-street, who carries on the business of a machinest and engineer to great extent. The intelligence of the accident spread round the neighbourhood with the rapidity of lightning ; and as there were upwards of thirty workmen employed in the colleen), an immense number of the unfortu nate relatives, wives, mothers, sisters, and chil dren, speedily collected round the fatal pile, be neath which were interred those whom duty, in. terest, and affection caused them to bewail. The shrieks of the women were pitiable in the ex• treme, and the compassion of the by-standers was almost equally divided between the positive and the presumptive sufferers; the latter being in all probability deprived either of life or limb, and the former in that case robbed of their natural providers. With great prompti tude several Irish labourers and others set about clearing away the rubbish, in order to extricate such of the unfortunate beings as were within the reach of assistance. After a most la borious search of half an hour four were got out alive ; in less than another hour seven more were extricated, two of whom, we regret to state, were devoid of life. Up to nine o'clock (when our in formant came away), there were in all thirteen peeopieilvhdjg from th e r u i ns ; t wo o f w h om were .lead wh e n found, and a thi r d di e d i n Bartholo mew'sospital immediately on arrival ; the most surgical aid was r e nd ere d to the other of whom h ave f rac t ure d l i mbs and others equa lly ser i ous b ru i ses; some received slight t p e r n o , m many pt hurts, not included in the above, and others escaped uninjured ; but four were missiner, who are supposed to be still beneath the rubbish. The spectacle exhibited at the Hospital was truly appaling; on the whole, it has been one of the most painful calamities that has occurred for a considerable time ; two of the men now dead are said to have left large families to bewail their untimely and most sudden taking off. The cir. cumstance has been attributed to various causes, but the following seems the most probable. The building, it appears, was very newly erected, and being intended only as a depository for un wrought iron, was not considered necessary to allow the usual drying time to expire ; large quantities of that heavy material were placed on the lofts; the roof was also of iron, and the pressure was con sequently too great for the side walls, which had not attained a proper consistency, and were there. fore thrust out ; whilst the ponderous roof, de. prived at the same moment of all support, tutu. bled in, and involved the whole fabric iu one dreadful ruin. —( Netts Times.) The following letter appeared in the Morning Herald of this d a y : — TO TUE EDITOR. Sta—To prevent any misrepresentation of a serious accident that occurred this afternoon, about six o'clock, in a new build. ing erecting adjoining to my m anu f actory , I w ill thank you to communicate the following statement to the public. It appears that one of the timber braces which tied the south and north walls together, above the first floor, preparatory to the fixing of the roof, was, by the thoughtless conduct of one of the men employed 'on the building, either broken or displaced, in con.' sequence of which a portion of these walls fell inwards and carried down fi ve o f t h e g i r d ers , w hi c h , i n the i r fall, have done considerable damage in the shape of property, but whi c h I con.. cider as of littl e i m p ortance compared with the loss of the lives of' two of the workmen, and also the wounding of six others ; who were, by the active exertions of the workmen iu the ma nufactory, promptly extricated from their perilous situation and immediately conveyed to St. Bartholomew's hospital' where, I ant happy in acknowledging, the sufferers received the most humane attention.

EDlTOR—Observing in the Newspaver Reports of Assizes, that Baron GAanow had lately thought proper to`ndmonish the Ladies at Wells, against being present a t an exp ec t e d t r i a l for adult er y, I beg leave to a s your permission to publish my thoughts upon that subject. Ex perience has taught me to believe that Nature bath established. a distinction in the minds as well as in the bodies of the sexes. The law makers of all Europe appear to have adopted this fact, and consequently women are neither called upon to make or to administer laws; indeed, the contrary experiment must soon have determined the unfitness of a Judge or a Juror liable to the incidents of child-bearing. lf, then, women, ex cepting in the management of their property, 46 have nothing to do with laws but to obey them," why permit them to be present at all in Courts of Law, unless when required as wit nesses ? By excluding females, more room would be gained for males, who might be practically in structed by their attendance. I appeal to fathers whether they consent to injure the modesty of their daughters, by exposing them to the vulga rities and obscenities of Assize Courts. I ask husbands whether they consider that the domestic virtues of their wives are likely to be improved by such scenes ? The presence of women may often give a zest to the gallantries and jokes of lawyers, but I presume these humours are as much out of place, as their foimer personal insults and sarcasms, so lavishly and improperly bestowed upon witnesses. If, Sir, your columns were not better occupied, I should venture to touch upon the growing bad effects of French manners and French education among English females, and which, as I apprehend, are rapidly changing the character of educated , Ewglish women into a resemblance at least of the meretricious modes which too often attach to the French. Chastity in manners is essential to practical chastity, and whatever tends to undermine female modesty, must be destructive of those domestic virtues and duties on which the morals of society depend PRICE OF STOCKS TIIIS Bank Stock — 3 per Cent.

All eyes are turned towards his succcessor, and if Princes could learn wisdom in the school of adversity, he might be expected to promote such a G overnment as would at once give security to the Throne, and such freedom to the people as would not infringe upon his lawful rights. The Prince D'Arg roig was obliged to seek an asylum in this Country after the fatal Revolution in his own, whi ch shook all others, and even to obtain protec tion from civil actions. his manners in pri• vete life are known to be of the highost pc" fish, but he is bigotted in Religion, ol d entertains all the old prejudices in favour of the privilege of thrones, or the 4 4 Monarciii" cal principle" as it is styled, according l b ' legitimate phrase of the day. Surely the Pr" valence of free principles all over the gla e ' wherever it may be restricted under particula r Governments, must fi nd its way to the ears 01e Potentates, however they may be deceived by artifice, or mislead by pride and vanity.
