GERMANY.

Oar letters from Berlin represent that the truant
journey of the King to Warsaw, so unlooked for, so
contrary to the known wishes of the Minister Pre-
sident, so prejudicial to the independent neutrality
hitherto observed by the Prussian cabinet, had made
a profound and unpleasant impression on the public
mind. The royal truant appears to have taken ad-
♦antage of AI. Manteuffel's momentary absence from
the capital to gratify his penchant for the so-
ciety of the Imperial Absolutist, and the
Berliners fear that the weak King may return
to them confirmed in his most erroneous sad imprac-

doable notions of government. It is a well-tisecr-
taintd fact that the Czar had been most pressing in
his invitations to his royal brother-in-law, and that
the effectual message carried by Count Munster ar-
rived at Berlin only on the morning of the day on
which his Majesty set off. The Berlin newspapers speak
with great caution of the King's journey, yet plainly
betray a wish to discuss it in its suspected bearings.

To credit a correspondent of the 0,1,01, it- Gazette, I
orders have been delivered to the conductor,: of the
Prussian nes-spspers, restraining their liberty of
writing with reference to the Russo-Tto ki.sh
question.
The Lithographic Correspnn de n re, of Berlin states that
a courier was sent fro:n Olmutz to Constantinople,
with despatches for Boron Bruck, Austrian inter-
nuncio, enabling him to lay a new Russian proposi-
tion before the Porte. This was nothing more than
an offer that, if the Porte would sign the Vienna note,
Russia would assent to a declaration that the gene-
, ral sovereign rights of the Sultan were not dimi-
niched thereby.

RUSSIA.

-•-

A letter from Bt. Petersburg, of the Vith ult., an-
nounces that a recent ukase of the Czar has pro-
hibited young men under 21 from leaving the Rus-
sian dominions under any pretext whatever. With
respect to other persons desirous of travelling in
foreign countries, new rules have been made.
Another ukase prescribes severe penalties with a
view to check the fires which are now breaking out
in various points of the empire, and devastating the
provinces.

THE CHOLERA.

Moen the Weird of Health.)
LONDON.

One case of cholera occurred on the sth instant
in Hanover-street, Itotherhithe. The patient, a poor
man, was found lying in straw on the damp floor of
a miserable shed of a house, surrounded with filth,
and admitting the rain in through the tiling. He
had suffered from neglected diarrheca for two or
three days previously. Hanover-street suffered
most severely in 1849. A man was received the day
before yesterday from the street into the Bermondsey
Workhouse, in which two or three wards have been
prepared for the reception of necessitous cholera
cases. Yesterday he was iu en improved state.
The Board of Guardians have appointed three me-
dical officers to act as sanitary inspectors of their
respective districts, and are prepared vigorously to
enforce to the utmost of their power all measures for
the protection of the health of the inhabitants.

THE CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCHEQUER EXPECTED
AT Mascussraa.—A meeting of the Corporation of Man-
chester is specially convened to consider the propriety of
presenting an address to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone

public bodies are also contemplating similar proceedings.
Mr. Gladstone will arrive on Monday, when he will be
received by Mr. J. C. Harter, whose guest the right hon.
gentleman will be. On Tuesday a visit to the leading
manufactories is contemplated, with probably a kok upon
'Change. On Wednesday the great proceeding of the

ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY AT SHEFFIELD.—
On Thursday morning it was discovered that the shop
of Mr. Robert Naylor, pawnbroker, Fargate, had been
broken into, and robbed of about a score silver watches and
three silver watch-guards. Thi• act of plunder, committed
within three weeks of the burglary at the Chop of Mr.
Cohin, in High street, whence were stolen gold watches and
jewellery worth 3001., has created quite a panic among
tradesmen dealing in that description of property, especially
as the burglars remain undiscovered.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday after-
noon an accident of an exceedingly painful nature occurred
near the Pontefract station of the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway. It appears that a Mr. Edward Rogerson,
farmer, at Avercroft, a little uesr at band, expected
some sheep at the Pontefract station, and accordingly sent
his man to bring them home. The train in which were the
sheep having come up to the station, had to make a retro-
grade movement, in order to shunt off the trucks contain-
ing the sheep. Raving done this, it was returning, when
the man sent to look after the sheep attempted to cross the
line full before the rapidly approaching engine. No looser
had he placed his foot on the rails than the buffers of the
engine caught him, knocked him down, and the whole
train passed over his body, dragging it to a distance of
twenty or thirty yards, and mutilating it in a most shock-
ing manner. The poor fellow was instantly taken up, but
life bad fled, the head being literally severed from the
body.
