THE QUEEN OF PRCSSIA.

The School of Industry, established at Berlin for
the children rot the poor. has received from Her
Mai-sty the Queen of Prussia, a present of 100
Frederic-d'ors, accompanied with the following
Letter, addressed to Mr. Provost Hanstein, SuFer-
intendant of t►at Institution : . . .

4. Sir, the character of humanity and iseneficence wh,"li dis-
tinguished the it,hatattants of Berlin, was never more rttikingiy
displayed than in the enablisnmelit of • school dminied fur
the maintenance and education of poor children. it is to you
they are id.ebtad for the idea, soil I am deeply impressed with
the proofs of esteem, confidence, and lure, which I has. re-
Cenci. TI4 founders of this useful estaidehment, to whirls
they have given my name, hare placed it under my everial
protection. I :Accept with joy lid; two-fold mark of cootidente,
sod 1 aulesciibe, 011 my own account, for the maintenance of
few children, whom 1 tumid yam, Sir, to hate the good he'd
to recommend to toe. _ _ .
'• ' •

respect to the sum of 100 Frederle-rors, which I
send you. I design it to contribute Sowards defraying the first
expenses of the Institution. The war, which has brought so
many calamities upon the nation. of which It is my glory to
be the mother,-has likewise matured many useful ideas. and
sown the seeds o the gieatest benches; let us unite our en-
deavours to make them peeper, and then we may hope, that,
what:ver loss we may have sustained in power and riches, will
be abundantly compansitcd by au increase of virtues. You,
Mr poorest, have done with honour all that lay in your power
to attain tint end ; your worthy collea2ties have emulated Four
emit, and thus you have elevated and kept tip the spirit of the
inhabitants of Betio, in the midst of our disasters, to that pitch
of u..bleness and dignity befitting misfortune. Thus the ties
which unite the nahon to tts rulers have become ees-r, and
our joy at meeting spin, after our mutual and ardent longing
for that event, will be so much the more pure and lively.
•s Your veryaffectionate, LOUISA."

.AMITSEMBATS OF BONAPARTE.

TONT A INDLEAU. OCT. V.

His Imperial Majesty, accompanied by a great
number of his Court, went lately to enjoy the plea-
sure of duck-hunting, upon a pond in the vicinity
of the little town of Moret, in the department of
Seine and Marne. Twelve little boats were pre.
pared for the Emperor and his companions. The
boats were manoeuvred by marines of his guard,
and mariners of the place. The hunt continued
two hours ; His Majesty killed several ducks fly-
ing. The inhabitants assembled with music, to
express their joy at his presence.
His. Majesty, on the 22d, shot a hare, a fox, and
a pheasant, in the Little Park, in the ci.;urse of an
hour and a half.
The Comedians of the Theatre of the Empress
entertained him in the evening, with La Maws ds
!wider and Les ilieochets. comed.es of M. Picard.
Fontainbleau was all alive on Wednesday with
the Court, and the amusements it has brought with
it. The last repr:sentarion, to which a great many
of the inhabitants of this city were invited, was Ilse
Venettans, a tragedy of M. Arnault. Next day His
Majesty chased the stag. The day was very fine.
He was accompanied ►y the king of Westphalia.
Their Royal a: d Imperial Majesties appear to be
highly pleased with Funtainbleau. *their depar-
ture from this place, it is said, is put off until the
Ist of December.

• Letters from Nancy, r.t the 20th Odober, state,
that in the present year there have been killed, in the
first Forest Distria, tet male wolves, 93 females,
4$ young wolves, and 937 other mischievous beasts.
On the night between the 9:h and 10th of last
month. the cannon announced the escape from Ver-
dun of sin English prisoners. Some of them were
soon after re-taken.
Popei,lessocter IV. of the illustrious house of
Frescos. who went from Rome to Naples, for the
sake of his health, died there in 1254. He was in-
terred-in the chapel of St. Laurence, and thence
removed to the cathedral, where a monument was
crated for him. This monument requiring some
urgent repairs, is was found necessary to open the
receptacle last September, and the state in which
the remains of the Pontiff were found, after a period
of 553 years, was as follows: the body was sound
and entire; the head, the hands, and the legs, were
separated from the trunk, and the former wanted
only two teeth. He was dressed, accordmp to the
pradice of the times, in a chasuble of snuff-coloured
silk, richly embroidered in several parts. Atter the
lapse of Live centuries and a half, the silk stilt re-
tains its original lustre. The other garment., which
appear to have been a tunic and a dalmatick, are
destroyed; his silk gloves, embroidered with gold
at the wrist, are in perted preservation.
The Comet observed by K gnu, in 1607. was
on the night between the sth and 6th Od•iber in
that year, nearly in the same place as the present
Comet. The only difference is, it was about a de-
gree nearer the A and the H of the serpent.
The Pali; Journals have recently mentioned two
examples of longevity, very remarkable both on
account of the age and the names of the persons.
Out is a lady. whose name is la 7 US, f Total .
who is 109 years oil ; and the nano a man. who,
notwithstanding he has arrived at the age of 1 I%
years, still retains the name of Prioeset Spri.g)•
and has no other symptom of the age of winter than
deafness.
C aset. xt, • the celebrated Neapolitan astronomer,
accounts, ine manner pettedly new, for the eatra-
ordinary heat, of the past summer, which continued
so intense throughout the whole mo..th of Sep-
tember. He ascribes it to the extreme purity of
the face of the sun, which this year was turned
toward the earth. For near two months he ob-
served none of the spots which are commonly per-
ceived in it. Hence M. C*lll L I COllCludes, that
the sun's rays having been emitted in greater ahun-
dance and with less interruption, produced t' at v ()-
lent degree of heat, which. though it scorched the
fields, nevet theless increased their fertility •
