It remains to be seen whether the functionaries
who are thus invited to meet in the great work of
university reform, will frankly and wisely respond to
the appeal in that spirit of sincerity which is
demanded by the exigency of the times, an

committee was of course, at once on the alert, advising
CRAFTS to arm, and show that though a slave be could
sell his life as became' a man. But there war another
body on fort for his protection, whose counsels and
tactics was of a more pacific and constitutional cha-
racter, and it is to their proceedings that we invite
attention.
This body consisted of a number of gentlemen con-
sisted with the legal profession, who voluntarily
esestituted themselves into a committee for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether, by simply putting the
laws of the state in force, they could not make Boston
too hat for the lave-hunters. They first advised
Currs, who wee pureeing the trade of a saddler, to
remove his bed into his shop, and than convect

siielesen adore whom Caen§ would be brought, if

ministerial officer of the federal court, they at the
same time gave notice that, if he dared, in order to
arrest Currs, to break open the front door of
Cearrs's castle, he would be proceeded against ea
the ground that the process was of a cavil and
not of a criminal nature. Having thus dealt with
the federal officers, they next turned their attention to '
Messrs. KNIGHTS and Humus.
These worthy gentlemen were first apprised of the
snares which were being laid for them. by being
served with the first rare in an action for slander,
at the suit of Cures. They had scarcely found bail
for their appearance in this action, when they were
served with the primary process in another snit, for
the slander of Cesra's wife. In this case, as in the
other, they were obliged to find bail, which, after
some difficulty, they succeeded in doing, after whisk
they retired to their hotel, to meditate respecting their
position, and " sleep on it."

city with the suburb of Cambridge, and has a toil on

drove through without paying. They drove at the same
rapid pace through Cambridge, apprehending obstruc-
tion them also. It was evening me they returned to
Boston, and were proceeding to make themselves com-
fortable, when they were summated to answer next
day for "running the toll" on the Cambridge-bridr.
In a few minutes afterwards they were served with
another summer fa " furious driving" through the
streets of Cambridge. Such was the result of their
second day's sojourn in Boston, the object of their pur-
suit being

it is said, ontais the strewn exhortations to Prussia
to refrain from every measure that may lead to a war
with Austria.
Our Berlin correspondnt writes as follows
BERLIN, Nov. 24.
The Grand Duke of Baden has intimated, through
his representative at the College of Princes, that he
cannot enter into the offensive and defensive alliance
alby Prussia to replace the Erfurt carman-
ines Freesia abandons the Erfurt constitu-
tion, and the popular clauses it contains, Baden does
the earns. The sower delivered in the sitting of the
College of Primes oestarm the following passage :

The goverment of Baden has, therefore, with-
drawn entirely from the Union and the alliance which
was pronged by Prussia as a temporary substitute.
The College of Prime has demanded of Prussia
that the negotiations pending with Austria should be
laid before them ere they return au answer to the last
proposal of Preemie. Their demand has been Ten-
lately Termed. I soderstand that Beckman intends
to make the same derma in the Chambers during
ties debate on the address in answer to the speech
Sam the throne.
An Austrian despatch is reported to have arrived
yesterday or the day before, of even a more friendly
Illaracter than the last. lam told that it contains
the final sanction of Austria to the free conferences,
sad a half kind of promise that the dual executive
power in dm confederation will be conceded.

In Rum the Elector's counsellors are quarrelling
bitterly among themselves. Many of them have
demanded leave of absence, which the prince hes not
in any case granted. On one of these occasions •
sane took place between the Elector and
Haesenpflag. The Elector, in answer to his demand
fee leave, cried out, " Yon have deprived me of my
array, and now you would deprive me of mcouncil."
The Frankfort Journal of Nov. 24 says that on the
previous day the taunting words that are continually
pealing between the troops assumed a very threaten-
ing aspect. The Premien., who were encouraged by
the enthusiasm of the people, were with difficulty
held back from coming to open battle with the Ba-
varians and Austrians.
On the 23rd (says the same jocund) a part of the
long expected reserve of the 32nd Regiment of In-
fantry arrived at Camel.
The troops marched, with their binds playing na-
tional Prussian airs, through the illuminated streets.
On the 24th the other part of the reserve entered the
city, which makes the actual garrison to amount to
2,000 men.
It was stated at Frankfort on the 24th that the
envoys from Luxemburg and Limburg to the Frank-
fort Federal Aseembly,.kad been recalled by their
governments.
The official journal of Dresden says that intelli-
gence had been received from St. Petersburg to the
effect that the unravelment of political affairs in
Germany would be prefaced by the holding of • con•
gram et prince..
Count Than had proceeded secretly by night and
in great huts from Frankfort to Wilhemsbad and
Darmstadt.
The following notice has been published by the
Minister of Commerce os the Exchange at Stettin :
The Russian government has resolved on abolishing the
customs frontier fetwesa Ramis and Poland, and to Issue a
tariff sommon to both countries. This tariff, which will in
