We begin to think that the sooner Mr. HAMMOND, of the Foreign-office, is hanged the better. Not contented with flashing disastrous news from the East, he seems resolved to set the West at loggerheads by his foreign innovations. What would he be at Is he a friend of QUEEN AIiZLIA, or in the (paper !) pay of King OT MO of Greece---or is he trailing a red herring over the foggy field of Jockeyship, to draw off public atten• tion from the immediate meeting of Parliament What would he be at ? What will be his next move ? We should dearly like to know---but this "tarnation " telegram of his seems to puzz'e everybody, and satisfy nobody. The last confer ence la Paris was bad enough, if we may judge by the results,--but if they meet again and settle the whereabouts of Mr. HAMMOND's adopted found ling, whether it was picked up at Bath or Bath sheba, we shall readily forgive them all the errors of their maps and boundaries for all time to come. It is usual at this time of the year to be pes tered with long riginaroles on the state of th# weather and the probabilities of what will become of us when Parliament is pleased to meet ; but in all our editorial recollection (and that is not a mere holi day one), we have never been so attacked by scholars and novices, who deem themselves the more learned cf the two, as by the mutineers against Mr. HAN3IO/1 - D'S Telegrams ! Why don't he doff his Foreign assumptions, and become a homely 19/16 like one of us ! We might then perhaps understand him better, and even condescend to take a lesson in Greek from him-- but not in bonds or modern promises to restore Greece to her ancient glory.

It is required to correct the exchanges —to provide for any surplus that may be against us, or the balance of trade. But surely it ought to be used solely in that way. As a circulating medium it is, perhaps, the worst that could be indicated. The fifty millions of sovereigns required for the transactions of every day life, cost, at the present rate of discount, four millions of pounds sterling per annum ; and "the wear and tear," on actual destruction of property, about three per cent., or 1,500,0001. a-year. This is the result of the absurd prohibition of 11. notes, which save d th e country i n 1825, and would do so again in 1857 if allowed by law. We shall, however, soon understand the ex tent of the grievance. It is impossible that mattters can remain in their present condition. There must be a change, and the sooner that change is effected the better ? It would be well if Parliament were convened to decide the matter. Bat still, the Government may interfere, and they ought to do so. Lord PALIIERSTON should not suffer his name to be de preciated in comparison with that of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Premier of 1847. As we have already explained, an extended issue of notes is indispensable, and they should be of small denominations, for 1/. and the fractional divisions of pounds, 55., 103., and 155., as in the North of Ireland. The pounds would eco nomise gold, the shillings silver, and almost every transaction could be arranged by means thereof. A correspondent, whose communication appeared in our yesterday's impression, suggested that every banker depositing 105/. of Three per Cant, °JO sols should be entitled to issue 100/. of legal tender notes. The proposition is worthy of consideration. Why should parties offering ample security be refused every fair and rea sonable facility I It was "credit" that elevated England to the high commercial position she now occupies, and that " credit" should not be reck lessly sacrificed. It is not merely the converti bility of the bank note that is required. The certainty that it is based on satis factory security and could be redeemed at any moment, would;be sufficient. Let us get free trade in currency, and that will maintain Great Britain in the proud position she has so long oc cupied. Without it, she must sink, and terrible indeed will be the fall, and none will feel it more than those who have produced the calamity. lof the Crown's interests at Leadenhall-street. If there be, however, we should like to have had a foretaste of it prior to the meeting of Parlia ment. If there be not, then assuredly Mr. Wllo LOUGHBY is a notable instance of the length of time during which the Civil Service in India may teach a man merely European routine there. We confess to some fear that Mr. W. sees Indian ques tions only through Civil Service spectacles. Mr. WILLOUGHBY, like most other persons, , doea not think the revolt a national one, and ad duces, as we all have done, the conduct of the peasantry generally, and of the vast majority of the native princes. He does not think irritation with the missionaries was the cause of if-, and alleges, as others before him, the absence of all complaint of their proceedings, and of any special attacks upon their persons. He does not think the annexation policy was the source of the dis affection, since those most affected by it have not joined the rebels ; and, with one slight exception, it would not affect the revolted body. That exception, however, if Oude be alluded to, is hardly a slight one ; and it must be owned we fear that the King of OUDE'S clever and able minister, ALLY NI:JOKY KHAN, has been a prime mover and instigator in the getting up and work ing of the mutiny. Mussulman zeal ; the ignoring, and worse than that, of Christianity, by the Gc vernment ; centralization, and depriving officers of the high powers they used to exercise ; these and other things were merely mentioned to in form us that they all might have something to do with it, but what that something is, this deponen sAyetia not. Perhaps, however, the whole of Mr. WIL LOUGHBY'S real speech, like the contents of a Lady's note, is to be found in the postscript. Mr. W. was not "prepared to defend the system by which India is at present governed ; " that is something—for an Honourable Director• to be unable to defend the Directorate system. "Sins of omission and of commission the company may have committed "—that is humble—still he must ' not be too humble—" for, taken as a whole, their rule has been beneficent, and has done great good to India." Well, we will not deny the company that consolation ; although, except the good inci dental to trading profits or dividends for them selves, it is not easy to perceive. The direct fruits of any such principle as governing India for the good of its inhabitants, , rather than for the benefit of the Company or the civil Service, we LATET NEWS. FRANCE. know not where to look for. Perhaps the Pun. jaub may be a respectable exception. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received here : The last sentence of all, however, is that for which probably the speech was delivered, " Whether," said be, "any other system of government may be devised which would be more beneficial I cannot say ; but it certainly would not answer to place the whole of that empire under a Secretary of State, assisted by resident officers." Of course it would not answer to abolish the Court of Directors, and to send Mr. WILLOUGHBY and his coadjutors, with their sinecure salaries of 1,0001. a-year, and 5001. a year each, and all the patronage too, to the right about—it would not do for Mr. MANGLES and Mr. WILLOUGHBY, most certainly. Whether it MARSEILLES, OCT. 19. c‘ The news of a revolt at Tripoli is contradicted. The English Consul has published an order from Constantinople, permitting the export of oxen ; nevertheless, the Bey's Government persists in re fusing to obey, in consequence of losses experienced by disease and the Wants of the country." "BERLIN, Oct 19. " The last bulletin published at Sans Souci, dated this morning, says, The Kingi4lept well last night, except with some short interruptions. The state of his Majesty is nearly the same as yesterday.'" The Board of Directors of the Bank of France have decided that the rate of discount shall he raised to 7i per cent., as the Bank of England had fixed its rate at 8 per cent. This measure has not much affected the market, which has been prat ty steady. BOVRSE, Oct. 20.—The following were tho l quotations :----. Cash. fr.

We are glad. to see that Mr. LAYAICD has set out on a self-constituted commission of in• quirt', intending to work hard for six months, to bring us back the result of his inquiry, and with the hope that some widowed constituency will, before May, select him to act for them and for i India next Session. THE LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--The new-born energy instilled into the police at the West-end, seems to be very nearly ap proaching the ille ga l. l am not an uphol ler of the " market," but Ido think the following case was a most unwarrantable interference on the part of " the powers that be" in Vine-street :—On Mon day evening at about 10 o'clock two females (foreigners) of the class yclept "unfortunate," were accosted by a gentlem an , we ll k nown to them ; after a very s h ort conversation they parted from him, when a "limb of the law " seized and conveyed them to the station-house, where they were incarcerated until taken before the magistrate in the morning, who fined them 103. each. The anticipated " Justices' justice " meted to the pro prietors of the Argyll-rooms, called forth an in dignant comment from you, and I, therefore, trust that the attack on the liberty of the subject, how ever degraded they may have been, will insure the insertion of this iu your impartial and powerful organ.

"The War Trail, or the White Home of the Prairie," is the title of an equestrian spectacle jest presented to the patrons of that favourite Metropolitan arena where the wonderful docility and dramatic powers of the equine race, when properly trained thereto, have from time ircs memorial been exhibited. Capt. Mayne Reid's romantic tale, bearing the same name, is the base upon which the author has built up a structure that calls into requisition the whole resources of the tranTontine circa . The story tells of a gallant American captain of rangers, who having introduced himself to a Mexican heiress, whom he at first mistakes for a spy, by shooting hsr l "beloved steed" and bringing her to the grouud, makes love to her and is accepted, but is thwarted bya Spanish renegade, who steals the lady, binds her to " the white horse," which the gallant captain had, at her request and to prove his affection, captured for her at immense personal risk, and sends her upon her travels across the prairie is la Mazeppa—while, probably to render her re grets fer home lees aoute, he sets fire to her father's house and burns all the inmates. But the captair, thanks to a couple of trappers, is set upon the track •' the white steed ; and after innumerable difficulties and no end of hairbreadth escapes from all kinds of enemies and all sorts of dangers, the lady is rescued, and all ends happily and as it should do. Mr. James Holloway and MissDo wton, as the hero and heroine, played effectively. In the undramatised equestrianism, which, after all, forms the chief attraction at Ast(ey's, Mr. James Robin son, an American celebrity, and who comes to us with the high-sounding title of the " Great Star Rider of America," executed corns daring and unprecedented feats. From the bare back of a horse going at full speed, and without the flat buff leather saddle which usually forms the platform for the rider's feet, he caste no end of amazing somersaults, always descending with safely, and never " missing his cue." Miss Emily Cooke per formed some graceful pas, and Mr. William Cooke, with three beautiful zebras and a lidiPutian pony—which ;n the ring bears the name of Flying Childers—exhibia d some iatersiaing proofs of th e Kish traioiug of this new addition to the " .Astlay's stud." It is positively asserted in official quarters in Paris that Sir Colin Campbell left Calcutta on the 11th Sept., to place himself at the head of a European force, which the Government had pro visioned with every description of marching mate rial for a campaign which would last eight months. At some appointed spot, it is calculated near Cal cutta, these exensive stores were rapidly collect ing, and the advance guard would set out imme diately. Of course no one pretends to know Sir Colin's plans, but he is said to have commu nicated with the heroic bands who are holding their ground at Delhi and elsewhere, and that combined movements have been decided upon. Delhi is 90 miles from Calcutta, and as the season is not favourable for marching, the immediate effect of Sir Colin's plans will only tell in a moral point of view on the enemy. It is bAieved here that the insurgents have already made overtures, but entirely failed, it being the intention of the Commander-in -Chief not to accept any negotiations whatever with the King cf Delhi. It is also the opinion of foreign spectators that the sepoys have certainly been assisted by Eurc peans i❑ their movements, but as they fail to make any impression when opposed to us, a mill-consi dered attack fails for want of pluck. Repeated failure has produced much discouragement, and I am told it, is said in a late despatch from Calcutta that an opinion is gaining ground to the effect that, as Sir Colin's army advances, the insurgents will disperse and abandon Delhi for the moun tains.—Paris Correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition). PRUSSIA. The Independance Beige publishes the text of a private despatch addressed by the Prussian Go vernment, and signed by M. de Manteuffel, to the Prussian representatives at foreign Courts. In this document, which bears the date of the 28th of May last, M. de Manteuffel carefully avoids declaring either in favour of or against the union of the Danu bian Principalities. He simply refers to the in structions given to the Prussian Commissioner. The wishes of the Divens, the suzerainty of the Porte, and the integrity of the Ottoman Empire are pointed out as the chief elements to be considered. Prussia reserves her vote as regards the anion until the Special Commission shall h ave , according to the 25 t h art i c l e o f t h e Treaty of Pari s , l a id before the Assembly of the Plenipotentiaries of the Powers that signed the Treaty of Paris the results of its investigations. In short, M. de Manteuffel says that Prussia only desires a strict, full, and faithful execution of the Treaty of Paris. RUSSIA. A despatch from St. Petersburg announces that an official order has been issued which throws open the ports of Anopol, Soukoum-Kaleh, and Redout- Kaleb, on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea to foreign vessels. They must, however, be provided with a, Russian visa. DENMARK. SWITZERLAND. A table relative to the fininces of Switzerland, published by the Bund of Berne, shows, that from 184 k to the end of 1856, the public fortune of the Helretio Confederation had increased by 4 ,64854 f., or on an average 585,385 f. each year. On the 31st December, 1848, it amounted to 7,078,461 f., and on the 31st December, 1856, to 11,761,315 f., including the funds of the Invalides and the Polytechnic School, amounting together to 4864,603 f. At the end of 1857 the situation will not be so brilliant, as the question of Neuchatel has caused expenses which threaten to swallow up the savings of preceding years. SPAIN. The .3fadrid Gazette, of the 15th, contains the Royal decrees on the change of Ministry. The first is thus conceived : "I accept the resignation of the functions of Pre sident of the Council of Ministers offered me by Captain-General of the Army Ramon Narvaez, Duke of V a l enc i a, an d I remain highly satisfied with his eminent services, and with the prudence, zeal, and loyalty with which he has fulfilled the said functions.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND RETURNS Each day now furnishes to the financial world an illustration of the way in which they strive for dis tant facilities and neglect those at their door. If the Atlantic telegraph were in operation, what would be the first messages sought ? The state of the bullion in the banks on both sides. But as r, - gards the Bank of England we have the power to get the information, and permit it to be kept back until, practically, it is useless. All the calculations of our merchants andmanufactuters should be made with reference to the probable movements of the money-market, yet it is only after a lapse of seven days that they become acquainted with each return of the Bank of England on which those movement, depend. While every effort is made to develop, at any cost the system of instantaneous communi cation through all regions of the globe, a kn:owled.p of the few figures upon which more than anything else our commercialjudgments should be formed h allowed week by week to be withheld, although the very object of providing for their publication was that they might serve as the speediest signals to check all imprudent action. But, objectionable and ridiculous as the case thus appears, it does not end here. Although the go vernors and directors as a body use efforts to prevent those figures which they withhold from the public from transpiring for the banefit of individual speculators, it is notorious that absolute secrecy is not preserved. Even if there could be any plea for the concealment they profess to regard as desirable, it would thus be cut away. Indeed, in proportion as theyassert the necessity for it they condemntbeir own laxity, which renders it unattainable. The management of the Bank during the last six or seven years has been in all essential respects so sound and so honourable to the country that it is disagreeable to have to enlarge upon the disregard of the interests and just rights of the commercial community manifested on this point. Some montli; back, when public attention was greatly aroused to it, there was a belief that arrangements would be made to enable the publication of the returns to take place in the Gazette of Tuesday instead of Friday, or, at all events, that they should be publicly posted at the Bank on the morning of Wednesday. The intention, however, seems tl have been allowed to drop. It is to be hoped it still exists, and that the delay in its fulfilment has been but accidental. —Times. A DEATII-BED SCENE. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ANTI-BIGOT. October 20, 1857. TELEGRAPH AND TELEGRAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Mary people are dissatisfied with the word ❑ewly invented by the Foreign-Office, telegram ; and I think upon good grounds. It is deficient in strength. You cannot get a hold of it to g.va it a "hirst" with the voice. How inferior is it to its predecessor, " telegraphio dispatch," in this respect ! How inferior to most of ur English words ! It belongs to the race of the mono grams, anagrams, epigrams, &c., all weakly words, be cause they won't take a good stout accent. But look at epigrammatic point. What a forcible expression this is I Why? Because you have the accent. I think this is the hidden cause of the dislike to our nsw friend Tele gram. Will you allow me to introduce to you a stouter gen tleman, who will stand more wind. It i■ my friend Telemyth. The th will bear any distension of the voice You will then have, instead of " a writing from a dis tance," "a word from a distance." You have here a word of pure Greek origin (rEXoc. end, cr distance; and µyen, uoord), and W I forcible expression, like all our words that end in th, as pith, wrath, oath, truth, death. I are, Sir, your obedient servant, Ascog, Oct. 19. LINGUA FORTIS. (From, Punch.) Here is a bother, here's a to-do, About using one letter instead of two ! And why are the Greeks to teach us to call A thing the spalpeens nicer heard of at all ? (Unless you suppose the spark in the wire Was known to them by -the name of Greek Fire). End it with Phi, or end it with Me, What does it signify which you do ? End it with Mu, or end it with Phi, The point's not worth a potaty's eye. Contemn such ulthrapedantic appeals, And put your shoulders to these two wheels : Reduce the charges, which now is plundering, And teach the clerk to spell without blunderin-.f. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Coleridge one day met a Jew, who was nasally arti culating "0' clo' " down an area. " You stupid He brew," said Coleridge, "can't you say old clothes,' like a reasonable being ? " The Jew stopped, and looked him in the face. " You had better try and say old clothes' for six hours straight forward, an - I then perhaps you will be glad to cry o' clo,' ' like I do." " I was regularly floored by the Jew," said Coleridge. We are, it seems, to pronounce the words derived from the Greek according to Greek analogy. We can o:dy reply to this in the spirit of Coleridge's Jew, that the mind is willing, but the tongue is weak. Tne Irish man who fled from his colours, raid that his heart was the bravest in the regiment, but his legs were so cowardly that they would run away with him in spite of his heart. Our classical conscientiousness whispers to us that we ought to say " tslegrapherne," for we beg to say in all earnestness that we have no doubt of the correctness of Mr. Shilleto's analogies. But our tongue will persist in saying " telegram." The word comes so much more trippingly. We, too, have this comfort, since the Greeks are brought into the question, that they, the Greeks, never troubled themselves about analogies when they imported foreign words into their language. They cut them down to their own standard in the most reckless manner. Besides, if we are to carry analogies out in this way, we do not know where we shall stop. We cannot see why a word should be subjected to analogy, because neeesisty has coined it in 1857, rather than 400 years before. Convenience has caused us to employ the igure elipsir; We will talk classically to class'• el people in a thousand ways. W• have skortsned proper names, in defiance not only of analogy, but spelling. We never utter a sentence that will bear analysing. We should be very sorry to count the words in our tongue incor rectly formed. Another rain-drop won't overflow the ocean. There was an old priest who air/up said " Mumpsi rn ur" when he read his breviary. Some one told him that it was correct to say " Pumpsimus." Very likely, said the priest, composedly, but I shall say Mumpsimus. We shall say " telegram." STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, OCT. • 20. The market has been exceedingly dull and de pressed. The feeling has been something akin to a panic. In yarns no concession would tempt buyers to operate, the difficulty being, not a ques tion of price, but of means and a want of confi dence. If the Bank had not further raised dis counts probably some business would have been done, es a better feeling than prevailed last week was ga i n i ng ground, but this measure has created an exceedingly uneasy feeling, and ate busi ness h as been done worthy of mention either for home con sumption or export.

Ou domestics 1-16 d. to id. per yard, 'and on longcloths and T-cloths lid. to 3d. per piece, would' have probably been conceded from the highest point in some cases to effect sales, and there has been more desire manifested to take orders for these goods than of late. . The offers, however, have not been of-a character to test values. Very little business has been effected in any kintl of cloth. Turkey red cloths and jacconots have been neglected.

LEEDS, OCT. 20. The tone of the market this morning was flatter than has been observed for some dine, and scarcely any business was transacted. There is very little doing in the home trade, and it is hot likely there . will be much imp: evement. until we have a change of weather, for at present it is more like spring than the close of autumn, the atmosphere being warm and genial. The retail dealers can do nothing in heavy goods, which are at present almost a drug upon their hands, and until the winter sets in more in earnest the consumption is likely to continue very much below the supply. No doubt there are a variety of caules clntributing to the want of activity ma nifesteZ, and the rise of the Bank of England dis count has not been without its effect. HUDDERSFIELD, oar. 20. The market has been very quiet this morning, the:state of the American trade, the rate of discount, and the price of the raw material all combining to cheek operations. There was very little done excepting in low goods. Devonshires were inquired after, and there were a few transactions in drabs. Wools do not advance, but are firm. The next sales are fixed for Thursday, the 12th of Novem ber, though the quantity at present is hand is only 33,054 bales, but it will, no doubt, be largely in creased before the sales. LORD RECTOR OF ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY.—On Wednesday, Mr. John Inglis, Dean of Faculty, was in stalled Lord Rector of King's College and University, Aberdeen, in the public hall, in the presence of the professors and lecturers, the graduates, and a large assemblage of others, including several ladies. Ills inaugural address was remarkable for its chaste cornposi „con, abounding in apt quotations from the classics, and conveying sound practical advice, and was received with great applause. —Edinburgh Witness- TILE LATE FATAL FIRE AT POPLAR.---DEATH GP ANO THER, SUFFEREE.—Yesterday Air. Baker held an inque.t at the Biakeney Head, Poplar, on the body of Mi s , Sarah Flowers, aged 42, who died frona injuries she sus tained in endeavouring to rescue her sister-in-law, wh o was burned to death in a fire which recently took plac e at her residence, No. 22 1 , High . ctreet, Poplar. Th e sister.in-law was an aged widow laxly, On th' s morning of last Saturday week the aparaient irrwhich she was, SSW discovered on fire. T4t; deceased rushed up etalr,.; into the nh:zulg rGorn to the She became overpowered by the ho a t an , _,Ke, and lad on tho fiaor. She was brought ont in seusihle, and shockingly burnt, by tTo men who weri, passing in the street at the time, and who nobly con ducted themselves in rescuing her from the burning room. However, she gradually sunk, and died on Sa turday. The old lady was found burnt to death. The jury returned.a verdiot of accidental death. The event has created a deep sensation in the • h lieig our o . relative. ee. The Royal Castle at Sans-Souci is at this moment the centre of many intrigues ; and many an exciting scene is passing within its walls. An aged despot, paying the forfeit of excesses that have acquired for him soubriquets and ridicule throughout Europe, lies there in helpless prostration, his physical ener gies wasted, his mind wandering, still making a sickening effort to maintain the haughty counte nauce of arrogant kingcraft, while his faltering hands refuse to grasp the sceptre he is So loath to relinquish. Around his couch are gathered an eager knot of spec u l a ti ng pa l ace creatures, like a pack of hungry hounds. They watch with eye and ear every symptom of that sick man's affliction, calculating the chances the while with the keenest anxiety. At the chamber door, again, another crowd of cour tiers, with stealthy tread and bated breath, are wait ing the result. For they, too, are doubtful which is the most prudent course to pursue—whether the disease-stricken King or the next in succession is the best investment for their loyalty and allegiance. To these poor parasites the moment is a critical one —their position full of doubts and difficulties. They behold before them a positive King, it is true, but a wreck in mind andbody. Yet to desert him is not very safe treachery, for he has moments when he is lucid enough to make the intriguing crew that fill his palace tremble before him. It is said 04, in the intervals he experiences from the torpor that is spread over his mental faculties, he threate ns fi erce l y enough any who should dare to lay hands to his crown. He then menaces them with punishments commensurate with his notion of offences against the Right Divine. He promises to visit them with the full measure o' his Royal wrath--a wrath to appease which ha already cost the sacrifice of many a man's life an liberty. This wild howl of anger may, perch ance , be the last flickering of a despot's soul. Still it has its effect upon the abject crowd to whom it is ad dressed. Though fain wishing to bring about the abdication of the King, and the immediate instalia. tion of the Prince as Sovereign of Prussia, their courage is yet restrained by grave misgivings. They doubt whether it is safe to already broach to Fielerick William the necessity of his withdrawal from government. They fear he may recover after all, and inflict signal chastisement on those who took the first opportunity to abandon his fortunes. In this state of things the business of the kingdom is rather allowed to fall into neglect than any strong measure adopted to overcome the obstinacy of the insane tyrant. Already for upwards of three months, we are told, the State machine has been almost at a stand-still through the inability of the King to attend to affairs. Yet further delays are to take place, because " a favourable moment" must .be waited for to cajole the tenacious Sove reign into a signature of his abdication ! A grati fying illustration, truly, of l'Etat, c'est ! Here we have one side ofthe necessities of monarchi cal rule. Another not less remarkable feature in it is, the fraternal attitude which continues even now to be manifested by the King and the Prince towards each other. Those acquainted with the state of things at the Court of Berlin know full well that the two brothers have through life been distin guished rather for their undisguised ani mos it y t o each other than for any amiable feelings of relation ship they have exhibited. The origin of their mu tual hate is simply jealousy and ambition. In age almost equal, in absolutistic temper the Same, in lust of poiver of like disposition, the one has been ever striving to keep the other away from thereins of Government. The natural consequence of this was, that the ambition of the man who was thus held back daily grew in proportion to his inability of gratifying it. No wonder a deep estrangement ensued, the reigning King ever fearing a palace coup d'etat on the part of his relation, to which fe the suspicious, doings of the latter have sometimes lent a colour. With such jealousies waxin; stronger year by year, it was not at all probable, according to monarchical sentiments, that a reconciliation would take place between the two brothers, even when of th em was almost in the grasp of ' death. And, indeed, we are informed that the fact of the King's life being in danger has only added to the iuten-ity of the feud, Frederick William IV. frantically re fusing to see the relative he knows to be EL) im patient for the crown he wears. The truth is, the exhausted Sovereign, in his excited stare, seems to dread the approach of his brother as that of some fiend about to snatch the dearly-prized diadem from his brow. It appears as though he appre hended that, if he granted an interview, sonde dark deed might be perpetrated, such as Russian palaces have often witnessed. Neither a reconciliation has, therefore, taken place between King and Prince, nor have they ever seen each other since the prostration of the health of the former. Al though other persons have been admitted to the sick chamber of the Monarch after his partial re cevery, the door has remained closed against the expectant brother ! This is one of the many ple s ing incidents with which the course of thspetic dynasties is diversified. The sacred ties of conseu guinity are among them generally to be found the most potent cause for mutual hatred and suspicion. Another recent incident, worthy of note, is the manner in which the Prince of Prussia behaved when called upon by the Ministers to assume for a time the conduct of affairs until the King's health should be re - established. The Prince, as our readers are aware, refused to comply with this request. The motives be urged on this occasion are memorable enough, for they exhibit his absolutist character -in the clearest light pos sible. Treating with studied contempt the re quest of the Ministers, be declared to them that they had no right to call upon him to assume the administration of the kingdom, but that he, in his Royal pleasure, would decide when the fitting moment for such a course on his part should arrive. "He neither wanted," said lie, "any invitation from the servants of the Crown, nor from any other body in the kingdom"---raean ing, by this latter allusion, the Chambers, who, ac cording to the Constitution, are to appoint a Re gency in case of the King being i ncapac i tated from conducting tho affairs of the country. " The only thing necessary is," said the Prince, " a declaration of his Majesty's physicians to the effect that heis in capable of continuing to reign. As'soon as this declaration shall be given, I intend assuming the Regency, by virtue of my Sovereign prerogative. But should such medical opinion be withheld, I will set myself to work to obtain the King' s signa ture for my appointment as Regent. Ministerial invitations, cr other Constitutional forms, are not required !". 'Phis brusque tone fully characterses the Prince, and confirms the sketch we have formerb drawn of Ins career. It now only requires to be fiBoli W O O ther he will succe d, in ‘c a favourable moment," to overcome both the 'personal antipathies of his 6rother and the tenacity with which the latter ,diegs to the purple.
