CLUB RULE IN MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN.

The People's Gazette of Berlin contains the fol-
lowing details from a correspondent respecting the kind of
rale which obtains in klecklenburg-Schwerin :—" Mr.
N—, who has already acquired some notoriety by beating
his servant maid so severely that she had to be sent to
hospital, has written to the physician of the hospital of
Rostock, where one of his workmen lies ill, to may that he
wee ready to pay for the cost of his ' provender.' He has
already taken steps for properly carrying oat the law of the
stick by making his schoolmaster take the oath of a juge
crinstruction and his watchmen that of a polies agent. A
prison for the special use of the ' happy workmen on the
estate bas been built in the castle." The writer states that
it is the custom on several estates for the peasants to take
off their hats when passing by the castles, and to keep their
heads uncovered till they have passed, although no member
of the family should be seen about.

A letter from Stargard (Pomerania), in the Revue
d Gazette Husicak, says : " Among the papers of a recently
damaged inhabitant of this place have been discovered 23
manuscripts of Mozart. Among them are a sort of comedy
called ' Apollo and Hyaci nth. set to music by W. Mozart,
May 13, 1766; a' symphony for two violins, two violon.
cellos, two hautbois, two horns, and three basses. by
Mozart ; Vienna and Olmutz, 1767 ;* a ' concerto for piano
and orchestra, dedicated to the Emperor Leopold, Vienna,
1784,' and several symphonies composed at Sa/zburg.'•
THE Kix° or Savutta.—A letter from Munich
states that King Louis, a short time since met with as es A.
dent which might have cost trim his life. During his last stay
at the Chateau of Barg, near the Lake of Sternberg, be mode
several excursions on horseback in the neighbourhood. On
descending a rather steep road his Majesty wished to put
on his great coat, and, in order to avoid calling on any of
hie atteedante to assist 'aim, pot the bridle in his mouth.
The animal, being suddenly startled by some noise, dropped
his bead so violently as to pull the bridle from the King's
month, who was pulled over the heard of the horse and fell
heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the road was very
seedy, and his Majesty escaped with only a slight wound on
his right cheek.

THE BRARMIN'S RETMEN.-IKshiptitram Roo-
param, the Bombay Brahmin, brought an action for libel
against some of his fellows who, on his return from Eng-
land, addressed him ass petit, i.e.. a sinful man. He has
failed in the action, which is chiefly remarkable for the
opinions a:premed by the native magistrate, himself a
Hindoo, who tried the case. In the obaerratioos he
made this officer stated that the step Yabiputrem
took wee certain to create persecution. "He should
bars been prepared for it, and should not have submitted to
the disgusting ceremonies which he performed. His en-
lightened mind moat have been shocked at the performance
of the ceremonies he underwent. He should have declined
to perform these ceremonies on the broad ground that his
visit to Europe was not inconsistent with the Vedic reli-
gion. If his caste fellows did sot re-admit him into ths
caste, he should not have oared a straw for it." Barely the
schoolmaster is abroad.—Friend ofj /edict..
THE FEDERAL NATIONAL pzer.—An American
has measured and weighed the Federal tuitional debt, which
is 4,000,000,000 dollars. Estimated in silver dollars, he says
that if they were placed edge to edge they would stretch
nearly 90,000 miles. Their weight would be 125,000 tone,
which would load 62,500 railway trucks, the aggregate
length of which would be 355 milts—Paeans &sr.
