Extract of a private letter from Berlin, dated Feb. II :
A shocking affair 'occurred here on Thursday even-
ing, which is the universal talk of Berlin. Ooe of the
best performers 111 the theatre, alit r he had performed,
received a billet similar to what lw had hebire received,
tel him to ntake haste home, for there he would see
something that-would surprise him : this time he took
the sarong, andshaisteited home, running all the way;
but his servant, who always attends him with his cloak,
walked home. lii corning up states he rang the bell;
the wet horse opened the door—she had [teen attending
his wife, also an actress, awl hail been confined some
weeks, but was then up, and could take au airing in the
garden. On opening the door, the nurse said, What
is that in the collier r meaning die landing place. He
• went up to him, and said, i Ohl oh I is it you ? 1 have
found you out at last,' and gave hint a few boxes on the
ear; and threw hint down. Mr. Stich, the pet former,
Petit him down, beating him ; he, however, recovered
himself, :Hid taking a dirk out of his mantle, thrust it
into :Ur. Stich's groin. This person was no other than
Count IS—, a young 111311 about 4I years of age, and 311
officer. After Ire had so struck Mr. Slid), he j‘imped
down the whole flight of siair, and as he was going out
of the street door, a servant C3IIIC 111/ 011 hearing the noise,
and wanted to seize him, lon only grasped at the man-
tle; he was, however, might by others in the street,
and secured ;in his mantle was a loaded pistol. tie was
disguised as a gentleman, with false whiskers and 111113
tachios ; he was taken to the commandant, who asked

him why he had the dirk and pistol about hint He an-
swered very proudly, " What would the world think
if they heard that the erandson 31. P— B— should he
owl-treated, and suffered is go with impunity ?" Then
he was asked for what purpose he was there. lie said
he mould answer that in the proper nine and place.—
Mr. Stich is not expected to live. B— has paid his ad-
dress,s to Mrs. Stich for this year past, who is a very
handsome woman' 28 years of :We."
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-00 Thursday morning
last, Mr. Thus. Nlulus, of Pludyer-street, Westminster,
accompanied by Miss Ann Logan, his niece, and Miss
Patterson, bis cousin, took a boat at Westminster-bridge
to go to Battersea on a visit to a friend : he rowed the
boat up, and they waited dinner at the friend's house,
when Miss Logan took a fancy to a little dog, which
being-observed, it was made a present of to her. They
departed with it on their return home at five o'clock -.-
At Chelsea-reach the pug fell over-board ; Miss Logan
endeavoured to pulls into the boat, when unfortunately
she over-reached herself, and falling over board herself,
immediately sunk ; Mr. Molus being an excellent swim-
mer, instantly pulled otf his coat and plunged after her;
it was in the middle of the current, and she was in-
stantly swept away; he at length discovered her a con-
siderable•distancevif, but before he could reach her she
sunk again to beseetuno more alive. A bargeman at
some distance off was the only person who bad witnessed
the accident, but he could render no assistance, and Mr.
Molus bi-ing very much exhausted, was obliged to return
to the bolt to Miss Patterson, who remained in the
most frantic and disconso!ate state
MATCH TO EXETER AND BACK...—.Mr. Vivian, an

- - -
officer in the army, completed his task of performing 65
miles a day on foot front London to Exeter and back on
Sunday morning. The pedestrian was toaccomphsh the
tii miles a du!, and as much over us he liked. He
reached the village of Down, near Andover, at eivht
o'clock on the ewening of the first day, and started again
at twilre o'clock. The pedestrian travelled to Salisbury
before breakfast, nearly twenty miles on the second day.
took a repast six miles from hilatidiord, and coy. red his
ground at [lie second day within two miles of Brolport.
Ott the third (lay, the pedestrian touched on Exeter at
five ()clock in the afternoon, and did his 65 miles at

nine o'clock at night. The lourth day he was a little
amiss, but recovered, and reached Itisthird day's destiiia•
tont near Coombe. Binet. The pedestrian started at le
oil Friday night, and reached Shrubs Hill, on the Bag.
shot roads leaving himself 23 miles to do. in eight horns,
on the last day. Mr. Vivian won the match with great
difficulty, and had twenty minutes to spare. It was for

200 sovereiatis.
Oil &nod ly last, the following extraordinary fraud
was practised at the Foley-hill public house, near Alai-
denhead. A wayfaring traveller arrived, and remained

some time, taking refreshment. After a short time,
another matt made his appearance, but there was no
recognition between them. A farmer of the neighbour-
hood snout vier rode up upon a smart pony. Ooe of the
travellers became in love with it, and otiered fur it a si.
note and his watch. The oiler was at length accepted,
and the 1116111 look posse-sign of his pone. Some little
time after the f inner became suspicious Of the genuine.
ness of the note, and posted away to Maidenhead, to
ascertain if at were good. In the intetim the pUrelljlef
of the pony rode away. The cheat was soon discovered;
the 'towards a forgery. Upon the farmer's return, the
tarveller who remained at the public house, compas-
summing his misfortune, offered to pursue and bring
back the rogue if he could be provided with a horse.
The landlord at length brought out his own steed, and
the reclrt sser of injuries was mounted. The chase must
hate been somewhat lid:tins, fur f that lime to the
