GERMAN PAPERS.

Music', APRIL 30.—The Government JoUrnal of to-day
announces that his Majesty the King has been pleased to ap-
point Charles Von Abel to be Minister of the Interior.
BERLIN, MARCH 23.—The following is the letter of his
Excellency Von Rochow to several citizens of Elburg, re-
specting the Address to the seven Gottingen Professors :
" In reply to your communication of the last month, in the
which you have sent me the address to the Counsellor and
Professor Albrecht, signed by several citizens of Elburg,
hereby inform you that it has filled me with surprise and dis-
pleasure. If I will allow that it was only scruples of
conscience that induced Professor Albrecht to consider the
oath proposed to him to be such as he could not take, I am as
far from finding the judgment on the conduct of his Majesty
the King of Hanover expressed in the declaration of Albrecht
and his Gottingen colleagues to be thereby justified or even
excused, that I look upon it as a piece of presumption, equally
inconsiderate and blameable, and even punishable according to
the laws of this kingdom. The subscribers of the address have
rendered themselves justly liable to the same censure, by
approving and commending that declaration, thus making its
principles their own. It becomes the subject to pay due
obedience to his King and Sovereign, in executing the
commands given him, and to satisfy his mind with the respon-
sibility which the power appointed by God takes on itself, and
it does not become him to estimate the actions of the hand of
the State by the standard of his narrow views, and arrogantly
presume to give a public judgment on their legality. I must,
therefore, call it a very lamentable error if the subscribers of
the address have thought they perceived in the conduct of the
Gottingen Professors a defence of legal order, a resistance to
arbitrary authority, whereas they ought to have looked on it
as an unbecoming opposition, a presumptuous meddling. You
have, however, been guilty of a still more deplorable error,
Vs hen you fancy that such sentiments and notions are shared by
all good citizens; this, thank God, is so far from being the
case, that lam convinced the great majority will seriously
disapprove of your proceedings and regret that the
error of these unauthorised authors of the address
should have cast a suspicion on the goad and patriotic inha-
bitants of the town of Elburg. I leave it to you to commu-
nicate this to the subscribers of the address.
( Signed) " V. Rocnow,
" Minister of the Interior and Police."
" To M. Ivan Rieseu, Merchant at Elburg.

The subscriptions for the sufferers by the inundation, continue

requested to state, that the new work, entitled " A Voyao,'e

COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.—Saturday morning
workmen commenced the erection of scaffolding immediately
between the roof of the central arcade, for the purpose of in-
troducing glazed skylights on each side of the slants from the
centre of the ceiling, which will obviate the inconvenience of
the gloom in bad weather. The alteration has been long
needed, and will, when finished, be a decided improvement.
The expense is exclusively borne by his Grace the Duke of
Bedford.

GLASGOW POST-OFFICE.—In addition to our
former announcements, we have only to state, that the inquiry
by the public prosecutor is still going on : it would be unfair,
therefore, to say more at present, than that one of the clerks
has been committed to prison.--Scots Times.
BOY STOLEN.—Some weeks ago a young lad was
enticed away from his home in Goole, by some sweeps. Since
then he has been roaming about the country with them, until
last week, when he was taken up at Selby by the constable,
who immediately caused him to be conveyed to his disconso-
late parents. —Hull Observer.
On Sunday a large quantity of furze, on the Ne-
thermoor farm, the property of W. H. F. Talbot, Esq., of
Lacock Abbey, was discovered to be in flames, and previous
to sufficient assistance being rendered, about four acres were
destroyed. It is believed the fire was the act of an incendiary.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKRT, APRIL 6.—There
has been more business doing in sugars this week, at moderate
prices, comparatively : but all the transactions indicate exces-
sive caution on the part of the buyers, and an apprehension
that, the more limited their purchases, the less chance of doing
wrong. Much profit seems out of the question, and there is no
desire to incur a loss by buying too freely.—Bristol illereury
Monday afternoon an inquest was held before T.
Stirling, Esq., Coroner, and a highly respectable jury, at the
Waterman's Arms, Old Brentford, on view of the body of Mr.
Joseph Fox, aged sixty-four years, a gentleman of property,
who terminated his existence in the following fearfully deter-
mined manner:—Mr. James Hatton, of Albany House, Al-
bany-place, Old Brentford, deposed that the deceased, who
was a single man, and retired from business, had resided at
witness's house some years. For some time he had been in a
low, nervous, desponding state, but no fears were entertained
that he would lay violent hands on himself. On Saturday
evening, about a quarter-past eight o'clock, within five mi-
nutes after witness had left deceased's room, which was on
the first floor, he heard a noise as if some person had fallen
on the floor, and, on running up stairs to ascertain the cause,
he was horror-struck at finding the deceased weltering in
blood. Witness immediately sent for Dr. Cooper, but before
his arrival deceased had expired. Witness was not aware of
any cause for the deceased's despondency. The jury then
proceeded to view.the body, which was lying on a bed in the
deceased's sleeping-room, It presented a most frightful ap-
pearance, the head being nearly severed from the body. There
were also several dreadful gashes on the deceased's arms and
legs, which were frightfully scored, the deceased having cut
at the arteries, with the position of which he was evidently
well acquainted. On their return they found a verdict of—
Temporary Deracgement."
