THE MURDER AT BONN.

The indefpendanos Beige says " The assassination
of Ott, the Frenchman, at Bonn, in a quarrel be-
tween soldiers and civilians, which attracted so
much attention a few months since, and even occa-
sioned diplomatic proceedings, has at last led to a
result favourable to the demands of public opi-
nion. Count Eulenburg, nephew of the Rome
Secretary in Prussia, one of the military suspected
of having given the victim the fatal blow to which
i he succumbed, has been sentenced by the court-mar-
tial which tried him to nine months' detention in a
fortress. This is not much when the punishment is
Flared with the gravity of the offence, but it is a
deal when the position of the accused, has
family relations, the immunities which speci theal ri-
bunals are only too much dieposed to grant,
privileges of the military in Prussia, and certain
facts of the case which may be considered so many
extenuating circumstances, are taken into account."

ENGLISH SIGHTS AND GERMAN SPECTACLIC—A
German proverb tolls us that "we see whet we have era
to see." A German divine of the ultrunontsne school has
been visiting England, and seen what no Englishman ever
saw, es. or.:—" If next we cast a scrutinising glance on
the social degeneracy of the protestant church in biglud,
we are struck with astonishment at the upect of the
whimsical forms which it presents. How often does one
see the dear little children of Mr. —, the pastor of souls,
climb up into the pulpit, and throw down from thence to
their comrades below scram; of paper while their father
quietly and composedly rude • written sermon. During
this time, madame, his wife, sitting on the steps of the
pulpit, impatiently awaits the end of the discourse,so
tedious and devoid of unction. The sermon finished, the
toucher, his wife, and children pass to a room called the
sacristy, and begin, after the winner of shopkeeper', to
haggle over the price of the ecclesiastical functions with
the congregation. The wife endeavours to soften the hearts
of the faithful by a picture of the sad position of bee do-
mestic affairs, which is only too clearly attested by the
mumble attire of the childree."
