PRUSSIA.

The magistrates and communal councillors of
Berlin having sent a congratulatory address to the
Prince Regent on the occuion of his birthday, his
royal highness, in his reply, need the following
words:

The more serious and palatal an the circumstaccas under
which my birthday this time returns, the more I feel the
value of the sentiments you express to me. I learn with
pleasure that you have watched with serious attention my
efforts for maintdoing the general peace, which, by its long
daratioe, bee entbled Prussia to develop her restores@ to
an incredtble extent; but I have read with still greeter
eatiefaction the amorance that Berlin will not hesitate to
ater:Bee her &west intentats for the baminees and wel-
fare of the country, should It be in the decrees of Prevideace
that the honour of the crown and of the state should one day
require it.

Letters from Hungary (says the Continental
Review) report a carious system of espionnage 'which has
lately been Introduced by the Austrian government. Almost
all the public schools have a large number of small an;aenefiers
or scholarships to bestow, and the poorer clam of pupils end
students are very eager in their occopetition for these small
soon, which range from 10e. to 21. per quarter. Of late
the c,mpetitore for them scholarships have been compelled
to supply to the judge* "authentic information respecting
the political end moral conduct of their parent'," more
sepedally daring end since the crisis of 1849. In spite of
there end oth. r precautions, the stain of Bunny is con-
sidered precarious. The country population, though moot
traequil, la disaffected, and should the Auatrian armies
esparienoe a reverse on the Ticino, their disaster will be the
signal fora rising on the Their.
A strange case of libel hu just been tried at
Munich. Herr Z order, the editor of a email piper called
the Volksbote, wee accused of having slandered a minister
of state, the Count Reigersterg. The libel wee a ntaMed in
en article on a recent election, and the words were .—" The
Herr Minister got twenty-four vote*, but ass more was
wanting." To the non-Havarlan mind the .etas has no
meaning whatever; but cn the trial the advocate fir the
crown reminded the court of the fact that certeie chase of
Bavarians are occasionally subjected to corporal pun;simient,
cud that twenty live is the number of prior! or stripe
which e7e jadicially awarded to the delinquent among his
Mak sty's liege.. The &Hasten to the penal number of
twenty-fire was the gravamen of the charge preferred ageing
, Her Zander. That gentleman made a humorous defence,
mid ebeatned a verdict.
