PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, SUNDAY RVIXINO.
The toreit-light procession of university students,
which took place last night through the streets of
Berlin, in honour of the Prince and Princess
Frederick William, was a magnificent sight. More
than a thousand youths were there singing patriotic
songs, and a committee of their number was very
graciously received by the royal couple at the palace.
The procession was followed by a grand nocturnal
fits amongst the students. Toasts were given to the
Ring, to the Prince of Prussia, to the young married
pair, and to German unity. A collection made on
behalf of the dismissed functionaries of Schleswig-
Holstein produced a considerable sum,

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

" The reports of the members of the international
commission of Bucharest," says a Vienna letter in
the Cologne Gonnts, " are looked for with consider-
able anxiety. It is affirmed that the French com-
missioner has proposed a constitutional form of go-
vernment, and that Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia ap-
prove of his views. On the contrary, Austria and
the Porte are of opinion that the constitutional form
should not be insisted on. England is said to admit
the French views, but with some modifications.

Opinions differ likewise on the point of hereditary
right for the prince at the head of the government.
Persons who are well informed think that in the end
a hospodar for life will be decided on."

PARIS, MONDAY EVININO.
The French journals do not contain a line of co m-
ment upon M. de Moray's report upon the mea-
sures of public safety, and in the absence of any as-
sistance from those who ought to be the legitimate
exponents of public opinion, it is not easy to ascer-
tain what is generally thought of it in this country.
The Moniteur states that the reading of the report
was frequently interrupted by vehement marks of
approbation, and therefore we have official grounds
for assuming that the idea of creating large catego-
ries of citizens in every department who may be
transported for life not only without trial, but
without so much as the allegation against them of
any specific offence, is highly popular with the re-
presentatives of the people. The rules and regula-
tions of the present French legislature are a multi.
ignorata, and by no means ab omnibus querencle ; in
fact, the public is in a state of utter forgetfulness and
indifference with respect to them. But it may not be
uninteresting for the historical student to
be reminded that among the many inge-
nious devices for emasculating the Corps
Legialatif was one which prohibited the mem-
ben from making any demonstrations either of
approbation or disapprobation. The violation of
this rule in favour of a government project is now
officially sanctioned by the Moniteur; but if when
M. Emilfi Olivier makes his speech against the
measure next Thursday any deputies should cheer
him, Count de Morny will sternly call them to
order. " Two weights and two measures" is now
a recognised doctrine. There is a curious discrepancy
between the late article in the Moniteur attributed to
an exalted pen, and M. de Moray's report. The first
says that the repressive measures were long ago
conceived in the mind of the Emperor, and were
neither " inspired nor aggravated" by the crime
of the 14th of January. The President of
the Corps Legislatif, on the contrary, rounds
the opening sentence of his exordium by
asserting that the measures were " born
and drawn up" (sees et elabories) under the influ-
ence of that event. Shakspeare was no caricaturist
when he represented courtiers as ready to swear
that a thing was at once like a whale or a weasel ;
and of course the right thing is to take both these
statements to be strictly accurate.
It is worthy of remark, that Lord Palmenton's
answer to Mr. Stirling is not noticed by the
Moniteur, and is (by order) mutilated in all the
other journals. The explanation given by the
English minister of the affair of the legacy to
Cant Won, was never heard of in France. The
(mermen belief was that the legacy had been paid
by the present government. At all events the
government prefers that the French people should
continue under that impression, than that " aberra-
tion of mind" should be associated with the name
of a Napoleon.
M. Pietri, the prefect of police, has suddenly gone
to Marseilles.

M. Jules Martinet, the late editor of the Ordre,
whose sad ease I mentioned a few days since, has
died at the Charenton Lunatic Asylum. A subscrip-
tion will be opened for his aged mother.
Notwithstanding the announcement of the ex-

peoted reduction in the interest of Treasury Bondi,
and a rise of in Consols, the Boone—with the ex-
ception of a few moments of animation—was heavy.
The Rent. fell 10c. for account, closing at 69fr. 70e.
For cash there was a rise of 10c., the lad quotation
being 69fr. 76c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. The Northern
Railway rose 2fr. 50c., but the other lines were from
lfr. 250. to 2fr. 50c. lower.

A RAILWAY TEAM STOPPED BY BRIGANDS.—
We read in the Onsrrier d' Italia Between acme and
Ft•sesd is a railway about nine miles long. A considerable
number of persons went the other day to a fete at Frascati,
the ladies being dressed in their richest garments, and wear-
ing their costliest jewellery. This was all known to the
brigands. Accordingly, they seized the officers who occu-
pied the intermediate elation in the midst of the de-
serted country, and proceeded to hotel the red flag, es •
signal to stop. The engineer, fearing something was en the
line, brought the engine to a dead stand, when the robbers
instantly laid hold of the travellers and coolly plundered
them, doing them, however, no other injury. Up to this
time we had fancied that railways would put an end to this
sort of adventure; but the foregoing stroke, performed
at the very gates of Rome, shows that we were too
sanguine. Instead of robbing some ten or a dozen passengers
in a diligence, the brigands now take a hundred in one haul,
Of coarse the more productive this peculiar branch of industry
becomes in the Roman States, the greater will be the num-
bers of those who follow it."

GENERAL WALKER AND THE UNITED STATES'
ADMUMITRATION. The American filibuster, General
Walker, has delivered a speech at Mobile. United States, In
which be states that previous to his late expedition to NM"-

Ual Moods, who had called apes hint on his behalliatattat •

as he was president of the United States-that he sym-
pathised entirely with his prooeedintra, and would protect
him agsinat intserurion from the Engllah men-of-war, men
at thehazard of war with Great Britain. Be asserts that he
subsequently received from members of Mr. Bachanan's ca-
binet, similar sainzekoes ; end that special pains were taken by
the administration to induce him to rely upon the active sym-
pathy and effective aid of the government. Gan. Walker bar-
char asserts that, after the president had changed his senti-
ments and decided to oppose his expedition to Nicaragua, •
member of the cabinet urged him to proceed to Maxim sad
endeavour to embroil that country in a war with Bpala,
which might end In the transfer of Cuba, first to Menlo.
and then to the United States. General Walker proteins
to have been shocked at the immorality of such a proposition
—though he ingenuously acknowledges that his principal
objection to it rests upon the fact that, is the event of suc-
cess, Cuba would have became • free state.

EDOEI TEM CAMERON.

At the sitting of the court chic morning,
Sir F. Meager mid in the coarse of the night scowl had
been made for various papers which were alluded to yester-
day, and, as ;he was extremely anxious to produce everything
which could sweet the defence, his learned Mends were at
liberty to have the use of everything which they had dis-
covered.

Mr. Paddlers was then spin called, sad in reply to Mr.
Atherton stated that in August or September, 1864, tha
directors advertised for a new manager.
Mr. Serjeant Shee said he wished to go into a little more
detail with the minutes. He desired to show that in March,
1864, Mr. WOregor retired, and Mr. Welton became
governor.

_
Lard Campbell—That has been stated over and over again
by Hr. Faddism. I moat sincerely desire to &mist you aster
as I ma, but this is not the time for a speech.
Mr. Berjesat Shes—l know your lordship wishes to do
justice to all the defendants u well as to the promoters. No
person knows that better than I do, but it is my duty to take
airs that justice is done.

Lord Campbell—lf any piece of evidence in these minutes
has berm overlooked, let it be supplied now, but it is unneces-
sary to repeat what is in evidence, and appears in my notes,
and what all the jury recollect.
Ilr. Berjeant Shoe mid he wanted to show when Mr.
Lockhart Mare Valliant, the brother-In-kw of Alderman
Kennedy became a director; also to let the jury know every-
thing which took Owe at the board respecting the Walsh
mines sitar that data

tW F. Theeiger sad so far es the history of the Welsh
mince wee concerned, his learned friend was entitled to
have everything in chronologies' order, but the matter to
which he now adverted ought to be elicited in cross-ezezeine-
tion.

Mr. Serjoant Shee—l ask your lordship to allow me to
read all the minute@ with respect to the Welsh mines after
Mr. L. Valliant became a director.
Lord Campbell—As all the minutes must be oonaidered to
be given in svidenoe, you may draw the attention of the jury
to any part that has not been reed.
Mr. rjimaat Sher—That is exactly whet I wish to do,
and I am afraid if I do not read them now I shall not have
another opportunity of bringing them in detail before the
jui7. It appears from a minute that Mr. Lockhart M.
Valliant became a director on the 28th March, 19.54. (The
learned counsel sod his junior, Mr. D. Keene, then read the
minutes.) Mr. fiedesat Sites observed that Mr. Archibald
Sperm, whose name was mentioned among those present at
the board mmeeeetionaggsewas another brother-in-law of Mr.
Alderman Keemedy.
The witness, in answer to Mr. James, said the =mem
reported to the board on the 19th of September, 1863, thst
his expectations of the large revenue to be derived from the
mines were by no means abated ; that he no longer limited
his opinion to 10,000!., but thought that with aufllcient ca-
pital and good management they would produce doublo that
amount.

Lord Campbell--After the works were abandoned he m-
imed to have the highest opinion of them.
Mr. James—Not after they were abandoned.
Leal Campbell said hopod they might bid adieu to the
Welsh mines.

Mr. Atherioa—We wish to bring down their history to
