It is said that FaAxe's JOSEPH has resolved on signalising his visit to his Lombardo-Venetian dominions by bestowing boons on the people that must remove every reasonable ground of dis content, and render his Government as popular 118 it has been hitherto the reverse. We trust that it may be so, and that tardy justice may at length be administered to his long-suffering sub jects. We must, however, confess that we place no great faith in Imperial promises. The _rasp of despotic authority is seldom willingly relaxed, mid it would be little short of a miracle if the stern policy which so long prevailed, which created such well-founded complaints, and ren dered Lombardy the weakness of Austria, should be voluntarily abandoned and replaced by a milder system. FRANCIS JOSEPH will, however, have the op portunity of seeing and judging for himself. He will learn the true state of Italy—not only of the portion over which he reigns, but of the remaining States into which it is divided ; and will discover the imperative necessity of doing something to place matters on a sounder foundation. Should he wisely avail himself of the opportunity afforded by his visit much may be effected. It is well when rulers are brought face to face, with their subjects. A courteous and affable demeanour goes tar to conciliate good-will ; and that at least may be easily assumed—even should he be indisposed to go to the full extent required by the exigences of the case. Italians must ever deeply feel that they are placed under foreign domination. But if the rule be liberal and enlightened, if justice be tempered with mercy, the people will forget that it is administered by the hands of strangers, and gratefully respond to kindness and leniency, of which too long they were ignorant. The Venetians may not forget their ancient glory. The Milanese may sigh for domestic government. But if they have no other causes of complaint these grievances will soon be forgotten, and the Hapsburg dynasty acquiesced in. There are, however, matters that prevent us from indulging in very sanguine expectations. The recent Concordat with the Vatican is a fear- ful stumbling-block in the way of FRANCIS Joni 's. Sacerdotal domination has always proved disastrous to every nation in which it was tole rated. The Austrian EMPEROR, without the slightest necessity, surrendered his independence, and made himself the mere tool of the Papal Court. In every p art of his dominions, and no where more than in Italy, the priestly preten sions, warranted by that e xtraordinary document, have excited the greatest possible dissatisfaction. Matters had previously been bad enough, but they have been far worse since FRANCIS JOSEM trans ferred his authority on all matt era relating to edu cation, marriages, burials, hc., to the delegates of Rome. Should this opportunity be disregarded and suffered to slip fruitlessly by the future state of affairs will be far worse than at present. Some degree of hope has been excited ; when that has passed away the reaction will be terrible. The people will see that they have only themselves to depend on ; that if they desire freedom they must obtain it by their own energetic exertions. A torch may thus be kindled throughout the entire Peninsula that cannot speedily be extin guished, and which may for ever prevent the thoughts of Lombardy from disturbing the , repose of the House of Hapsburg. FItANCIS Jos may also, if he pleases, now withdraw from interfering in the Government of other States, and occupying them with his troops. He will have a favourable chance of impressing on King Bomus the necessity of "assuming the appearance of a virtue, if he possess it not," and abandoning the tyrannical course by which he has endeavoured to act on the fears, while disregard ing the love, of his subjects. It is of vast import ance to Austria herself to prevent the standard of revolt from being elevated in any part of Italy. way De avercea oy tununet. and li6...iii,y. 'lnc choice rests with FRANCIS J•SEPY. It is a mo mentous question, and it will be well for himself if be arrive at a felicitous solution of it. The existing state of affairs in almost all coun tries renders it peculiarly important that the EM PEROR should remove this source of internal weakness. He is regarded with no friendly spirit by Russia, and Prussia eagerly seeks to obtain a predominance in the affairs of Germany. France has exhibited too many symptoms of truckling to the Autocrat to render the permanence of the en tente cordiale positively certain. Her journals are railing at England, and the English. The semi official Constitutionnel is already oblivious of the ca stigation so soundly administered by the wholly official Monite'tr a few weeks since, and returns to the attack with keen enjoyment. It, however, cautiously abstains from trespassing on forbidden ground by assailing the English Government. It is contented to go the entire animal against " the Fourth Estate," while the Asseinblee Nationale raises a cry for the forti fication of Algiers, protesting against its being made " a branch establishment of Malta and Gibraltar." That the latter journal should eagerly desire a dissolution of the Western Alli ance is by no means extraordinary. It is well aware that there is no hope for the restoration of the BOURBONS so long as NAPOLEON is at amity with England. Therefore it endeavours to sow dissension, and, as was invariably tho case, to advocate Muscovite interests, by which it hopes to advaice the interests of the exiled family. If that alliance be endangered, it is not the fault of the English Government, or the English Press. They have in every respect observed every promise with fidelity and truth. Yes; every true-hearted Englishman is determined that we will be the friend and ally, but not the satellite, of NAPOLEON. We shall gladly co-ope rate with his Government, but will never consent to be dragged at his chariot wheels. The utilisation of our Indian territories for the supply of articles of large consumption and in growing request among us is a subject, we are happy to perceive, engaging more attention of late than at any previous period. The recent war with Russia, from whom we have been accustomed to receive s• large a proportion of our hemp, and the increased demand for and high price of paper in the home market, explain iu some measure this altered state of public feeling. The friends of India, however, who, through good report and evil report, have advocated her claims and devoted their energies to the discovery and development of her capabilities, are chiefly to be thanked for it. ' Among these, not the least conspicuous, and cer tainly one of the most able, is Dr. J. FORBES 1 ROYLE, whose attention has been directed to the Fibres of India fit for Textile Fabrics or for Rope and Paper Making. On previous occasions we have noticed a 'valuable work of his on the sub ject, and made it the basis of several articles- On Wednesday evening, it will be seen in a report of the second ordinary meeting of the Society of Arts, to be met with in another column, the learned Doctor read a paper on Indian Fibres to the Society, being a sequel to the work to which we have referred. In reintroducing the subject for discussion, Dr. ROTLE, it will be observed, apologised for doing :so at so early a period. No apology, we are quit e sure, was necessary ; and we only advert to it because it tends to show the importance of the matter with which he had undertaken to THE SUN. LONDON, FRIDAY EYINING, NOVEMBER 28, 185►6 deal. His attention, he informs us, had. been directed to fibrous substances in a greater degree than to other Indian products, because India appeared to him (and the Learned Doctor is well acquainted with India) to be pre-eminently a country of fibres. A noticeable piece of testi mony. "The climate of India," he goes on to say, "is favourable to the growth of fibrous plants ; there is abundance of unoccupied land as well as cheap labour and ready transit either by sea or river. These plants are to be met with in great diversity and luxuriance, and afford every variety of fineness or strength which we can expect or almost wish for in fibres." It is consequently not surprising that the export of hemp has rapidly increased, as the following table will show : In 1831 there were imported from Russia And from British India 506,803 bales. 95,472 „ Iu 1851 there were imported from Russia Aod from British India 590,923 „ Th us, while the imports from Russia have only increased by 84,451 bales, the imports from India have increased by far on to 500,000 bales, so that by this time it is probable more hemp is imported from India than from Russia. The wonder really is that India has not been enabled to drive, as she could do, Russia out of the mar ket. Russia, it must be remembered, is a poor and thinly populated country, while India is fer tile, and teems with countless millions, who can furnish both cheaper and superior labour to in sure successful cultivation. The reason is to be found in a few words—lndia has been neglected. The high price of paper, owing to the duty, which is 11d. in the 7d. it costs us per pound—a duty, by the way, we would gladly see abolished, attaches great interest to its pro duction at the cheapest possible rate. On all hands the desire for knowledge is increas ing, and the multiplication of useful works is more and more a matter of imperious necessity. The press, too, is more exigent in its claims, and everywhere the excessive cost of paper is the sub ject of complaint, as at once annoying and ob structive. What can India do to meet this grow ing wants Dr. BOYLE tells us of many fibrous plants, admirably adapted for paper making, be ing found wild and luxuriant in the country, as well as cultivated. Indeed few of the fibrous plants to be met with in the country will fail to yield paper of one quality or other. India, how ever, it would seem from the specimens exhibited at the meeting, is able to produce a superior quality in abundance from the plantain, the paper shown of that material being described as unrivalled both as regards texture and extreme toughness. India can supply us with fibre suffi cient to supply all our need, and that at a rate con siderably below what we are paying for an inferior article. The great desideratum is a regular supply, and this can only be insured by the application of capital to the collection and cultiva tion of fibre by English enterprise in India. In a word, a further instalment of justice to that country, the withholding of which, together with the Government tax, have given America, France, Belgium, and Holland the advantage over us, more paper being consumed in those countries, and the prices of the raw material in the three last being 10 per cent. less than in England. Capitalists have hitherto overlooked one of the most promising fields extant. It is to be hoped they will do so no longer. The interests of India and of England will be found more and more con current as time rolls on. DRURY-LANE TFI EAT RE. luau°.

It has all the appearance as if there would be more fall during the night. So far the coal traffic of the district has not been much impeded. NEW SOUTH WALES.—By the arrival of the Cyclone from Sydney, after a passage of 83 days, we have received a copy of the Sydney Morning Herald of September the 3d. Though of later date than the files brought by the James Baines and the Lightning this arrival does not brini any intelligence of interest. P - rivate telegraphic despatches, received via Trieste, report a considerable rise in the price of silk at Shanghai. FuT-ther telegraphic despatches from St. Petersburg, dated Wednesday, state that, although efforts were still being made, very slight expectations were entertained of the release of the numerous shirks detained, the ice extending seven versts, or about 'tour miles, from the harbour at Cronstadt. Very lav,-ge purchases of tallow had been made in St. Petersb•,s rg for next year. For delivers in August as much As 155 ro. had been paid. A further rise of 6d. to 9d. per cwt. has consequently taken place in the London tallow market since yes terday The closing quotr,tions of Y.C. this afternoon was 595. to 595. 3d. in all positions this year, and for the spring. On'We - dnesday last tha annual sale of Mr. Bentley, the e ineut publisher, tgaok place, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, when all th e principal booksellers of London and %Ve-tminster were assembled.' This sale may be considered to inarsgurate the literary season of 1856-7. Several important and highly interesting forth coming new works were, shown on this occasion by l vir. Bentley for the first tis s ie, and many new editions ".if valu able books. Of th e, new works to b e immertately pub lished—M.

The result of thi' s important sale indicates considerable spirit and active., ,y in this very interesting branch of trade. Mr. South g a te conducted the sale with his usual ability, and Mess - fEI. Staples supplied the dinner with their well known I asto and liberality. Altogether, the result of the sales, we understand, was highly satisfactory. Tiir 7.1L00Y OMNIBIIB.-00 Monday last an experi mental trip came off, on the road be.tween London and B'rentf ,ord, for the pi pose of toting the capabilities of this I sew omnibus. The carriage was occupied by sever al gentlemen connected with public conveyances. The trip was highly satisfactory in every respect, and prov ed the great advantage the saloon omnibus has over the c ommon vehicles. The chief improvements consist tb e excellent ventilation, being very commodious, and partii iularly convenient for passing in and out, comfort able tsats, and capital contrivanee for carrying off the rain l,y means of a brass tube which passes through the j centve of the carriage. These carriages, when placed on the road will be a great boon to the public. LATEST NEWS. " Letters from St. Petersburg," says the Cor riere Italiano of Vienna, " announce that the Russian Government is adopting very extensive measures for the re-organisation A its southern provinces, particularly the Crimea and the coun tries on the shores of the Black sea and the Sea of Azoff. Considerable activity prevails in pre paring light vessels fit for the navigation of those waters. The Emperor has giver his approval to the creation of a weekly journal ander the title of the Actionnaire, to be publishel in the capital, for the purpose of imparting theoretical informa tion relative to associations and companies, of exciting general competition, and by that means of contributing to develops fresh branches of industry. Upwards of 40, 000,000 silver roubles are at present devoted to joint-stock companies in the Russian empire." The New Prussian Gazette cf the 23d says : " It is now certain that England has consented to the meeting of the second congress, which will definitively settle the question of the frontiers of Bessarabia." A letter from Vienna of the 23d, in the Nord of Brussels, says :—" If we may believe reports which are now current important changes will shortly take place in the highest functionaries of the State. It is said that the Emperor will at last yield to the entreaties of Marshal Radetzky to be allowed to retire from active service. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, the future bus b-►ad of the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, will be named Viceroy of Italy, at the same time re taining his present functions of commander-in chief of the navy. Count Giulay will assume the military command in the Lombardo•Venetian kingdom. Baron de Krauss will be appointed first President of the Supreme Court, and the portfolio of Justice will be given to Baron de Burger, now Civil Governor of Lombardy." The Nord of Brussels, the Russiin organ, de clares that several journals have gone entirely too far in affirming that Russia has yielded on the question of the Isle of Serpents or on that of Bolgrad. That power, it is stated, has not changed her manner of regarding the Bolgrad difficulty, and is quite willing to refer the matter to the decision of a congress, whose decision she will abide faithfully ; but she has no intention of admitting that the opinion of any one power should be paramount ; and, consequently, she refuses to allow that England can arrogate to her self the right of representing the congress, and deciding in its name. The Nord adds that, on the latter point, France is altogether of the same opinion as Russia. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) says : " The information I have received from foreign Courts, together with the language employed in certain diplomatic circles of Paris, leads one to conclude that there exists a strong desire just now to see Lord Palmerston out of office. The foreign policy of our Government under the pre sent Premier's inspiration, I need scarcely remind you, is by no means acceptable to many Euro pean Courts. It is too English, too Liberal, too unbending, and not sufficiently easy of de ception. From the moment Lord Palmerston came into office a thrill of alarm ran through the Con tinental Cabinets, because it was known the union of France and England WJuld change the L ega zor recrograUo Governments. The T. E.roperor Napoleon is equally dreaded, but for other reasons. The only consola tion, therefole, of some Continental Courts was the con v . toticat that France, as now governed,. woulo, act as a check on the policy of England "..Dr:ad. It was for this purpose that the Em peror of the French was, and no doubt is, con tinually reminded of "Republicanism" and " revolution," and the necessity of observing great moderation, in order that popular excitement may not be encouraged by the endeavours which may be made to improve the governing system in such States as Rome, or Naples, or Greece." The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), dated Nov. 27, says : "Several changes are about to be made among the prefects of departments. The Minister of the Interior has, it is said, decided on the step, and he deserves credit for his decision. The measure will extend to about 30 of those functionaries, the great majority of whom will be transferred from the departments now administered by them respectively to others, and the rest will be placed on the retired list, some at their own desire others probably at that of the Government. The changes may not be so numerous as the urgency of the case requires, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. " An article will appear to-morrow in the Con stitittionliel relative to the question of Neuchatel. It may be considered as semi-official. It counsels the Swiss Confederation to accede to the release of the prisoners, and it expresses the conviction that Prussia will not then refuse to negotiate with a view to the abandonment of her pretensions to sovereignty over the canton. It admits the mo deration of Prussia, and while admitting her right of adopting measures of coercion, it expresses the hope that such measures will not be had recourse to. In a word, it expresses what I presume is the policy of the French Government, and which I have already explained." The Berlin correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in a letter dated Nov. 26, says :-- "The Swiss Confederation has, as you know refused to liberate the Neuchatel prisoners unconditionally and as a preliminary to nego- tiation ; it is now for the Xing of Prussia to make the n ex t move on the board. In con formity with th e c o n t en ts of my letters of the 19th and 20th i ns t an t, I still hold out to you that the King of Prussia will resort to no milita r y or other measures of violence ; he will nO - 7 * apply through his diplomatic agents at the ICourts of the different States, parties to the Lon don Protocol of 1852, and urge ou them, in virtue of that instrument, to take the necessary steps to bring the Swiss Confederation to acknow ledge his sovereign rights in Neuchatel, and the acknowledgment here sought for will more over be required to extend oily to the abstract rights of sovereignty, without any practical consequences being attached thereto. Whether he will in any way seek to interest them, or himself take any further steps, in favour of the prisoners I am not able to pronounce with any positiveness of conviction. I apprehend that in the presence of the late Imanimuus refusal of the Federal Council ho will await the result of the judicial proceedings before taking any fur ther step in that matter. If conferences be a suitable occasion for settling etch a causes litis, as this Neuchatel affair is, there will probably soon 6) an opportunity of bringing it before them, for, al; I hear, Austria has withdrawn her opposition the re-opening of the Pettit Conferences with a view to the settlement of the Bessarabian frontier difference, and our Cabinet has at any I rate entered into negotiations with a view to th e i r I being held. "The report in Paris that the Neapolits.n Govern. ment had applied to this, the Prussian, Government for its mediation or intervention between it and those of England and France, is doubtless founded on the fact of the official business of the Neapolitan Embassy and Consulate having been undertaken by the Prussian Minister and Consul ; nobody here knows anything of such an application having been made, and nobody doubts that, if made, Prussia would decline to have anything to do in the matter. " According to advices received from Galatz, un der date of the 13th inst., the French sloop Alerte had already, in . compliance with the resolutions passed at the first sitting of the Danubian Navigation Commission, taken up her station near the Algani banks, for the purpose of restoring something like order among the trading vessels there, seeing that up to that moment the captains and masters of ves sels were entirely at the mercy of the pilots and lightermen, who were under no control at all, and were grossly extortionate. It remains also a settled thing that a Turkish steamer shall work a dredging machine there, and it is confidently believed that it will be found no very difficult task to get rid of the Algani bank altogether ; one good thorough dredging of the Algani Channel, and the closing of another that opened into the Sulina arm from the Russian side, will, it is believed, effect the object. The Commission had that same day set off to examine the St. George and Kilia channels." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 25. There is no news. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress went on board the war steamer Elizabeth at 7 o'clock this morning, and left Trieste for Venice. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor presided, was held yesterday morning at the Palace of St. Cloud. The Moniteur contains a decree extending, unti it shall be otherwise ordained, the application o Art. 5 of the decree of the 16th March, 1852, relative to nominations and promotions in the Legion of Honour. The article in question decreed that as the number of knights, although unlimited, is becoming too considerable, only one nomination for two extinctions should be made among civilians until 1856. The number of officers is fixed at 4,000, commanders 1,000, grand officers 200, and grand crosses 80. Another decree makes a further number of ap pointments in the upper ranks of the judicial ad ministration and nominations of interpreters to the law courts, in different parts of Algeria. "It is stated," says the Assembles Nationale, " that the Russian Government is about to send to Paris as an attache to the embassy of Count Kisse lef, Prince Jousoupoff, who is married to the daughter of Count de Ribeaupierre, who had mar ried a niece of the famous Potemkin. Prince Jousoupoff is young and possesses an immense for tune. He has been ordered to keep up great state, and he has already sent orders to rent a large house, and to furnish it in the most splendid style." BOURSE, Nov. 27, Two o'Clock.—Rente has ob tained a fresh advance, the bears having been obliged to continue purchasers. There has been a report current that the Bank of England would lower its rate of discount to 6 per cent. for 60 days' bills ; but many doubts are entertained as to the intention of the Bank of France to enlarge imme diately its conditions and accept 75 days' bills. Threes have been done at 68f. 70c., and after a re action to 68t. 50c., rallied to 68f. 850. Mobilier varied from 1,435 f. to 1,460 f.

The Espana says that there was no truth in a re port which was current that the Government was about to banish from the capital some generals and other persons of distinction, or th at it had caused some persons of note to be arreed. The Revista Militar had ceased to appear, in consequence of the Minister of War having issued an order of the day declaring that the Queen did not think it a fit journal to be read by the army. This makes the fourth paper that has disappeared within a month, the other three being the Nacion, the Cortes, an dPthe Asociacion. The arms of the national guard of Madrid, which had been deposited in the barracks of Sau Francesco, had been removed to the artillery stores. Accounts from Malaga to the 19th say that a number of domiciliary visits had been made in different parts of the town, and that they had led to the seizure of arms, some of them secreted in wells, and of important papers. The municipality was causing bread to be sold cheap, and there was plenty of work to be had at good wages. In the neighbourhood of the river Gurar, near Malaga, a detachment of carbineers had had an engagement which lasted upwards of an hour with a band of smugglers, and in the course of it three of the carbineers were wounded. It ended by the smugglers being dispersed, and by a quantity of their goods, a horse, and a blunder buss being seized. The municipality of Segovia had resolved on raising a loan of betwee n 7,000,00 0 and 8,000,000 reals, to be employed in providing cheap food for the poor. The Gaze tte publishes a royal ordonnance conceding to M. Salamanca the railway from Alimansa to Alicant. A letter from Turin of the 23d, in the Constitu tionnel, says :—" I have just read in some of the Belgian journals that the Duke de Grammont, French minister at this court, and all the members of the French legation have ceased to be members of the Turin Whist Club. As this announcement might give rise to unfounded suppositions, I hasten to inform you that this fact dates as far as two years back. About that time M. de Meyronnet, an attache to the French legation at Turin, having had some difference with the managers of the club, the Duke de Grammont requested all the staff of the legation to abstain from visiting the club, which request has from that time been rigorously complied with. A report has been for some time in circu lation of the truth of which you can judge better than I. It is that the Duke de Grammont will probably leave his post before the end of the year in consequence of some considerable changes in contemplation in the French diplomatic body." HIE TRAGEDY AT CROYDON. CROYDON, THURSDAY NIGHT, Up to a late hour this evening the unfortunate Mrs. Belton had not expired, but not the slightest hopes are entertained of her recovery. The whole of the back part of her head is battered in by the force of the blow. Mr. Cooper, the divisional surgeon, has been most unremit- ting in his attendance upon the poor creature. She is quite delirious, and cannot be left for a minute ; and, from the time that her husband returned home' on Fri- day last, he as never left her room. Mrs. Belton for some time has been in the habit of letting apartments, and had two lodgers up to Thursday week last, when one, a very respectable gentleman, left, owing to something that had transpired between Mrs. Belton and the assassin Bright, alias Staines. It is im p9ssible to say what this was at present ; but it may be mentioned that, when the gentleman alluded to applied at another house for lodgings, he stated, as his reason for leaving, that "be did not consider his life safe in the house." The assassin has not yet been apprehended, although the police are actively engaged in tracing him. There has been a statement put forward in the village as the reason for the assault, but it is of such a nature as not to justify us, tii. it is confirmed, in going further into it. There was a rumour here this afternoon that Bright had committed suicide ; but at present the police have no authentic information on the subject. MR. BIINN.—On Monday Mr. A. Bunn commenced an eugagement as a lecturer at the Polytechnic Institu tion, Edinburgh. His lecture, entitled, " John Bull among the Yankees," consisted of descriptions of his own experiences during a visit to the United States. Mr. Bunn communicated a variety of useful information vtgardiug the commercial and literary condition of America, enlivening his discourse with several amusing and well-told anecdotes of the Americans, AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 27. The Philadelphia screw steamship Kangaroo, Ewing commander, has arrived, with advices from New York to the 12th inst. The „North American, and United States Gazette of Philadelphia comments on the election of Mr. Buchanan, and states that if he does not adopt moderate measures, which do not assail those prin ciples which lie at the bottom of the United States Government, and the foundation of all civilisation, he will be swept away with a power that cannot be resisted. _ The steamer Superior, from Chicago, had not been heard of. . Eighteen inches of snow had fallen at Ontario on ;he 30th of October. Advices at New Orleans by the Tennessee report from Nicaragua that General Walker had appointed Fermin Ferris, a native Nicaraguan, as Minister from that country to the United States. The prospects of General Walker at Nicaragua were highly flattering, and large accessions to his forces had been made both from New York and New Orleans. A number of recruits had also joined his army from California. There has, however, been no further fighting, and it was the general impression that a proclamation of peace would be issued at no distant day. The steamship Black Warrior had arrived at New Orleans with advices from Savannah to the 2d instant. Preparations for the armed invasion of Mexico were being actively made there. The island was perfectly healthy and quiet. The sugar crop will be very large. Exchange on the United States, 10 per cent. dis. Freight; low and inactive. It was reported that the Spanish brig of war Habanero, with 6,030 stand of arms, had sailed from Havannah to support the insurrectionists, excited by the Spanish authorities against the liberty of th• Dominican Republic.

I pledge myself to their accuracy. That outrage has astounded the Prussian capital, and is the topic of the day. It is, lam assured, considering all its circumstances, both for its summary and violent character, without precedent. The mem bers of the bar and of the press at Berlin are of opinion that it must have originated, not with the police, but with the Minister of the Interior, and that, behind him, there must lurk a high and extra ordinary influence. They are right. The puppets are here ; the manipulators in England. I am, Sir, yours obediently, MORRIS MOORE. Berlin, 23, Tauben-strasse, Monday, Nov. 24. " Berlin, Sunday, Nov. 23, 1156, 23, Tauben-strasse. " Lord Blomfield,—At 10 o'clock on Friday evening, Nov. 21, five emissaries of the Berlin police took forcible possession of my apartments, at 23, Tauben-strasse, and, scorning or ignoring even the semblance of civility, pro ceeded forthwith to overhaul my papers, seized the whole fmy effects, and subjected my person to gross indignity ; and, that nothing should be wanting to complete the bur glarious character of the outrage, I was ordered to deliver my purse, from which they abstracted two papers. I re- ested leave to communicate with the English Ambases- tor. The title was parroted with a scoff; a contemptuous chuckle followed, and then the somewhat superfluous in formation that I was in Prussia, not in England. I here declare most emphatically that I offered no resistance what- ever to this violence, and that in the quietest manner I simply asked leave to communicate with the English Am bassador. I made no threat either of his title or of his in I mention this to forestall misrepresentation , for I know that inexperienced Englishmen have occasionally committed this indiscretion. A sense of propriety, to sal nothing of a long-standing conviction that an Englishman may bo kicked from one end of the continent to the other with scarcely a chance of apology, still less of redress, would have deterred me from wielding so pointless a weapon. At 30 minutes to 11, utterly ignorant of the nature of the crime imputed to me, I was consigned to the criminal division of the Presidency of Police. I now come to what more di rectly concerns yourself. "As early as half-past 5 o'clock on the afternoon of th 21st I was accidentally apprised that emissaries of the Pe lice had been observed to enter the house in which myapart tnents are situated, and that their presence had created * sensation throughout the neighbourhood. I had received strange intimations in which Dr. Waagen's name wa s coupled with the police, and I have reason to believe the man to be as unscrupulous as he is incompetent. Moreover a letter commenting upon him, and bearing my signature, had appeared in the National Zeitung on that very morn' ing of the 21st. I felt perfectly indifferent about meeting the police, save for that instinctive repugnance which au Englishman must feel to foreigners of that class. Bat had no business on hand out of doors for the rest of the day, and I thought it better to despatch it at once. I Wl ° prepared, therefore, to find the police on my return home , They waited for me nearly seven hours. Previous to 1 01 return I addressed a note to you, in which I informed 1 011 that my arrest was projected for that same evening. Til• note was delivered into your own hands at 11 o'clock, sn yon received at the same time oral assurance that the emi r caries of the police had been seen to enter my dwell immediately after me, and that consequently there NIP . , s carcely be a doubt that my arrest had been effected. replied that you wished to be still more positively asse t ' of the feet. I cannot but admire your fidelity to renal Nevertheless, the occasion demanded some slackening, the official stock.' I contend, Lord Blomfield, that vilw, such information as you now possessed, exclusi ve of flit t note, it was the duty of an English Minister to master f:e himself that airy distinction which you appear to 1 0 4 considered essential to action. But you were content Wito making the peculiar request that your visitor would ret n ,, at 9 o'clock on the following morning,' and let you kn whether I was still' a prisoner. Thus you reconel' 4 yourself to allowing strangers to perform your duty, so to abandoning an English citizen to the mercies irresponsible foreign police for a period of at least 9 hc° 11 ;; But others watched while you slumbered. Your rep °os was not disturbed.
