THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 24, 1848.

In the evening the arming of the citizens com-
menced, and the city was illaminated.
On the morning of the 20th a large crowd as-
sembled before the palace of the Prince of Prumia,
theratening to demolish it ; but the words" Property
of the people—national property" being written in
large character, on the walls, the demolition did not
take place. The houses of other unpopular indivi-
duals were attacked, but no damage of any moment
done. _

At noon on the 20th a large assembly of stadenta
took place in the chief lecture room of the university,
for the purpose of arming. After the close of the
meeting, Count Schwerin, the new minis er of public
worship, addressed them. The news that the
Ministry of Justice had been given to Herr liornemann,
and the Ministry of Finance to Herr Camphausen,
who had been called from Cologne for that purpose,
was received with great joy.
A deputation of Poles waited on. the King, on the
evening of the 19th, to petition for the liberation
of the Polish prisoners lately tried—the result of
the petition was the openin? of the prisons at Moabit,
at 1 o'clock on the 20th. I'he prisoners were all set
free, and they went in triumph to the palace, accom-
panied by a great crowd shouting and otherwise ex-
pressing their joy. The horses were taken from the
carriage in which Mieroslawski was, and it was drawn
in triumph by the crowd to the palace, and thence to
the university; the King coming out to witness the
sight on the balcony. Mieroslaweki stood in the
earriag.,, which was open, holding a black, red, and
gold nag in his hand, and crowds from the windows
and in the streets greeted him with waving of hand-
kerchiefs.

In various parts of the city bowls are placed, into
which numerous donations are put by the passengers
for the widows and orphans of those who tell on the
lath and lath of March.

The Freiman States Gazette sae: "The orphans
and widows of the heroes who fell on the 18th and

19th of March, and many who are severely wounded
and incapacitated from work, are in the greatest dis-
tress. It is a sacred duty to aid them in this time of
need, and will, we are sure, be gladly fulfilled by
their fellow-citizens."

A letter from Aix la Chapelle, dated March 21st,
says, the night has passed over quietly, and there has
been no further breach of the peace since order was
restored by the military, who acted with the greatest
forbearance. It is confidently expected that similar
scenes will not be repeated there.
