BERLIN. We have been favoured with the following Notices from a Correspondent at Berlin : " The Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo was not ob- served by the Prussians at Berlin, this year, as was used to be annually. In consequence of a late regulation, all the battles in which' they were engaged are to be commemorated only once in every tenth year. Earl CLANWILLIAM, our Minister at Berlin, who is po pular, and spoken of so highly by all English travellers, gave a dinner to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cis arnEar.AND, and other persons of distinction, on occasion of the Anniver earY of the distinguished Battle of Waterloo." Annual Wool Fair, at Berlin, has caused a great influx of strangers. The KING paid a visit to the Market with the Princess Royal. The wool is 15 per cent. higher this year than the article was last, and not so good ; most of it purchased for the English market. The Landwl Militia , l • bee n called tr, or have out in Prussia, and arc now exercising. We -are sorry to hear that some of our English travellers have met with interruptions in their journies through R ussia, and that some of them have been treated harshly, and sent out of the country without the slightest reason assigned. The fact is, the Russians entertain a jealousy of those English men who are making investigations with a view to publication, andappear hurt at some of those which have already appeared, which point out without much ceremony the character of the Russians of all ranks. We are sorry to be obliged to advert to this, as we know that several Russians, who travelled over t "tain, received the greatest attentions; the doors of every take were thrown open to them, and they were allowed to 4ke driwings of various pieces of machinery. In short, the utmost liberality was shewn to them throughout their journies. The Mac-Adernizing System has reached where a road, leading from the city to Charlottenberg, 'nil been formed after that mode. Travellers who have had oc casion to pass the deep tract of sand between llamburgh and Berlin will be glad to hear that a view substantial road is to be made between these places, which will facilitate tke inter ctutrse between them. It will be finished in three years from its commencement. The expence is calculated at .1001. the German mile, arising from the distance to which stone must be brought. s . In Prussi a t h e h eat h as b een very great and tjva rain, the therm ometer b e i ng often at 75 and 76 degrees.— 1 Russia it is said to have been at 90 degrees. ROYAL.

THE COUNTESS OF JERSEY'S ASSEMBLY.—Her Lady ship opened her spacious mansion to the fashionable world on Thursday night. Six apartments were lighted up in the mist brilliant style imaginable. At ten o'clock card tables were set out in the smaller rooms. Ices and confectionary were handed about till three o'clock. Among the Company , pre sent were—Prince Leopold, Prince Gortchakort, Prince Leiningen, the Portuguese, Swedish, Bavarian, and Nea politan Ministers, Duke and Duchess of Argyll and the Ladies Paget, Duchess of Richmond and the Ladies Len nox, Duchess of Leeds, Marquis and Marquis of Win. cheater, Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown, Earl and Countess of Abyne, Earl of Thanet, Earl of Rosslyn, and Lady St. Clair Erskine, Count and Countess St. Antonio, Countess of Sefton and the Ladies Molyneux, Earl of Chester field, Earl of Westmoreland and Ladies Pane, Countess Moir. ley, Countess of Warwick and the Ladies Oreville.

The Dowager Marchioness of Exeter had a dinner party yesterday, at her house in Privy-gartlens The Right Hon. Wm. Huskisson entertained the Duke of .York anti a distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at his resi dence, Somerset-place, Somerset House. MAR rtr AO n:--:-;Cfri" Ille . "211t ' troatisiat, , sat Eq.,licence, at Farritigtfon; Berks, Join/ BalmEs,_ Esq., of Chorley-wood House,. Herta, to Miss Medley, daughter of Chas. Medley, Esq., of Farringdon. The amiable and accom. 'dished bride was accompanied by her sister to Citorley- wood House, where, on their arrival at seven o'clock, they were greeted by the smiles and shouts of an immense assemblage of joyous faces who were waiting to bestow their rustic but warm hearted welcome upon the happy pair to their beautiful and truly, hospitable mansion. Mr. Barnes had a few select friends to dinner, and good old English fare was served in abundance to the tenantry and workmen. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The new Opera of, Der Frieschutz has evidently excited great pub lic attention, as the house was last night again attended by a very numerous audience. The music is more reliihed the more the ear is fami liarized to it, and the able manner in which it is still superintended renders it so accurate and ex pressive,that it doubtless,as performed here would fully satisfy the Composer himself. The beautiful little air of " Good Night," is, we understand, the composition of Mr. Ilovzs, not of WErsza, the composer of the Opera. If its intrinsic' merit did not secure it an encore, the admirable simplicity with which M r.BnAitAm sings it would prodUce that effect. The Incantation scene was much improved, and went off with tremendous success. Consider.. ing the great expellee with which this Piece has been brought forward, it must be gratifying to the Public to find that its success is likely to re ward the enterprizing Proprietor of the Theatre for his adventurous liberality on the occasion.— , Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and a distinguished Party graced a private box,e‘t this Theatre last night. Lady GUILDFORD, Lady BEAUEHAMP, Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE, and numerous Fashionable Parties, excited by curio. sity to witness a performance which has caused so powerful a sensasion in Germany, completely filled the boxes at an early hour. CAUTION TO PERSONS THROWING STONES.-"- An accident of a Serious nature occurred at Herne Bar, on Tuesday last, to a lady while walking on the beach. A. man on a place above not observing any one below, was amusing himself with throwing stones, one of which descended upon the bonnet of a Lady with so great force as to break it, and a comb in splinters, several of which entered her head, the pieces have since been extracted, and we are happy to say the wound is not dangerous. It is gratifying to state, that as soon as the accident became known, the man (who was not perceived) vo luntarily came forward, gave his address, and expressed a wish to make any remuneration in his power.—(Kentish Gazette.) A steam-boat on a novel construction, which passed through this city on Sunday and Monday last, excited considerable attention. Her paddles, instead of being fixed on each side, are placed quite at the extremity, so as to occupy nearly the whole width of the stern ; and they communicate with the boiler and engine by means of long rods, through more than half the length of the vessel. she appears to have been built„at Leicester, and is on her way to Lynn fo' the purpose of plying between that place and Cambridge, the slender ness of her construction allowing her to pass through the narrowest locks; whilst her, small draught of water, (said to be only 18 inches) is expected by the projectors to ensure her success in the shoal parts of that navigation.—(Lincoln Mercury.) 1.- ,- - •b" --• 44 (41' g ; i C ; tc, . ~. -..- ~,,,,. p,i.. z ., v. x- ; .„.,,.:....-.: „ ~,,• 1 , - 1, , W, ell/.

Comet, Antelope, Don Gio vanni, and Deception.. At seven minutes past eleven the signal gun was fired, anti the vessels immediately got under weigh and after much scientific manceuvring for nearly live hours, the Don Giovanni went round the Favourite in grand style. and was received with a salute and three cheers. On the re , turn of the Favourite to Greenwich, the windows at the Ship Tavern were crowded, and on the appearance of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the Commodore ordered a salute, which was immediately given, anti returned from the windows of the Ship, by the President and the whole of the party.—The several. Captains went on board the Favourite, anti the conviviality of the evening was kept up until a late hour. In the course of the day several songs and glees w e re sung by some of the company.

Yesterday the at Worship-atreet Office, u p on a summ ons ob keeper of the toll gate at Lea-bridge, Clapton, appeared before Mr. Twyronn tained saint him by Mr. Adamson, for the taxing of his carts with toll. Mr. Adamson stated that he is tke holder of a con siderable quantity of land in the Marsh at Hackney, and for the last two or three years his carts have been taxed at intervals for toll. He was therefore most anxious to set the question at rest, as he felt satisfied that he was completely ex empted under the provisions of the General Turnpike Act. The gatekeeper said he acted under the instructions of the Trustees. Mr. TWYFORD then examined the Act, and found there was an exemption for all hay and straw which was neither bought nor sold, nor intended to be sold, and that the complainant came within its provisions. He then asked Mr. Adamson as to his expences. Mr. Adamson replied that he laid out Os. Mr. TWYFORD then ordered the gatekeeper to pay the Os. Mr. Adamson asked how he was to get back the toll paid for the last three years P Mr. 'rwY rent) said he could only interfere with what was before him. The gatekeeper then paid the Os., and the parties left the Office. DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD.—SO great has been the inundation in the neighbourhood of Ileadcorn in consequence of the storm on Wednesday se'nnight, that upwards of a hun dred acres of mown grass have been completely swept away by the flood. The water in the Stilebridge river was fully im pregnated with the new made hay, and many hundred acres of standing grass were completely covered with water nearly three days, whereby a most serious loss has been incurred by the various landholders, all of whom have sustained heavy damage. Several small foot-way bridges have also been car ried a way,—(Kentish Gazette. On Tuesday afternoon, at the Duke's Head, Margate, after dining with a few friends, a gcti tleman from London, of the name of Pnossan, soddenly retired from table. His friends, think ing his absence somewhat long, immediately left t l e man's apartment, found it locked. The door the room, and o n go i ng to the unfortunate gen was immediately forced, when Mr. P. was foatm ! sitting in .a chair covered with blood, and his throat severed. Medical assistance was pro cured, and the wound sewed up, but the vital spark became in a few minutes extinct. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS—(Tuis DAY.) LIFE 1! WESTM I NST L rt.--John IVest a nd Robert Courcy were put to the bar on an indict ment charging them with a violent assault on the person of Wm. Ludford, on the 10th M a y l a st, at Stretton Ground, Westminster. The parties in this case were master tradesmen residing on the above spot, but, from some unexplained cause, they quarrelled on the above day, and the con sequence was, a general fight took place. As usual, there was considerable contradictory swearing on both sides, which proved to complete demonstration that a little knowledge of the law is a dangerous thing. In the end it turned out that the prosecutor was the first aggressor, and the Jury accordingly acquitted both the pri soners. SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE.—George King was put to the bar on an indictment charging him with a most wanton and shameful outrage on the person of a respectable lady named Mary Thompson. The prosecutrix was walking up Parlia ment-street, on the Bth of May last, when the defertdant, who, it seemed, had taken quantum skfficit of potent liquor, came up to her and assaulted her in the most indelicate manner.— Assistance at length came to her, and the prisoner received on the spot from the hands of a gentleman a very proper chastise ment, and was then lodged in the watch-house, where he re mained until the following clay. The Jury found him guilty, and he was allowed to speak to the prosecutrix, who consented to his giving 101. to a Charity. COMMTSBIONF:ns for PAytKa and LioitTram the PARIfli of ST. 51ARGARET'S, IVesUllinster, at the Suit of —IURAriAAt. This was an appeal, under the Act of Parlia ment, by the plain i tiff, to recover a due compensation for some land belonging to the plaintiff in Alilhank.street, minter, which had been taken by the Commissioners to widen the street under the late improvements.—The plaintiff' in this case was the lineal descendant, in the third line of Lord Cro. well,. and the sum sought to be recovered was t ill.,—the m Com missioners having offered only 3501, for it. As usual on such occasions, witnesses were called on both sides to prove; on the part of the plaintiff; the'value, and on the other that the sum offered was a sufficient compensation. There was rather a novel feature is this case, namiely, that the plaintiff had neglected to employ Counsel in the case until this morning, and had he even, until the',;lltry had been . sworn, employed.a Sat veyor. Mr. Howell, the surveyor for the Conitissioners,, gave the astrigs_ftet sum of NAL for the whole. On the part of the plaintiff the sum of : 6801. was awarded. • A`Verybmg. :discus. sion took place.on the question, and in the end the r 4ury found a verdict, finding the valuation at Three Ilutaliett and Ninety one Pounds. ALARMING' AND DIiiTUUCTIVE morning about four o'clock the inhabitants of Chancery lane were awakened from their sleep by the alarm of the watchmen's rattles ; and cries of " Fire, fire!" resounded from hundreds collected at that early hour. Indeed one of the fiercest tires broke out at the bottom of the house, 117, Chancery-lane (The Dairy), and in a fevr minutes the adjoining houses of Mr. Bailey and Mr. Newman were in flames. The premises were built of wood, and the destructive element raged with terrific fury. An Inquisition was on Thursday evening taken before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., at the King's /lead Tavern, Islington, on the body of Miss Mary Ann Mills, who was tbund drowned in the New River. It appeared that the 'body was found in the course of . Tuesday, in the a part of the river near the City-road, by person who was walking along its bank, and who, happening to see something floating a little below the surface, procured a drag, and suc ceeded in bringing the body ashore. Bound the lyft arm a piece of string was tied, and to which was suspended a heavy weight of lead. The body was conveyed to Islington Church. and was owned the following day. Mrs. Mans. field, of 2.23, Oxford -street, stated, that the deceased had re. aided with her for four years past in quality of companion, and that during that period she had always conducted herself witk the greatest propriety. She went out on the Friday preced ing without saying where she was going to, since when she had not seen her. For about live or six days previously witness observed her to be rather fretful, but still did not entertain the most distant idea of her being capable of com mitting suicide. The Coroner and Jury expressed anxiety t know whether she lied been seen by qpy person near the place where the body was found, anti also' whether any evidence mid be obtained as to whence the piece of lead had been pro. cured which was found fastened round hernia ; but it appeared that the beadle, although diligent in his 'inquiries, had not been able to collect any further intelligence. The Coroner summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after consulting for a short time, returned'a verdict of " Found Drowned." DISTRESS IN MuttiNnAn.—A. few days ago we endeavoured to direct the at eati , n of the Government .and the country to the distressed state of the poor in this and the adjoining counties, but more especially in this town and neigh. bourhood ; it is now with pleasure we announce that a requisi tion, signed by the Clergymen and respectable inhabitants of this town, has bacn laid before J. C. livorts, Esq., Chief Ma gistrate, requesting him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants on as early a day as possible, to take into consideration the miserably distressed state of the classes, and others of this town and vicinity, and to devise some mode for their immediate relief. We feel ourselves altogether unable to give even an out line of the accumulated distress experienced by the poor in this WWII and neighbourhood, nor could we have conceiv ed, had we not been eye-witnesses of it, how human beings could possibly exist under such aggravated and increasing privation.; it is no uncommon thing for whole families to sub sist for 48 hours on one scanty meal, consisting chiefly of wild, unnutricloits, and unwholesome vegetables; others pining away under diseases produced by actual want, or the use of such per. nicious food; in short s to• particularise, would be sufficient to " harrow up the soul.'
