PRUSSIA.

The magistrates of Berlin issued on the 4th inst.
the regulations for the approaching elections. There
are 270 polling places appointed in Berlin. The
National thus denounces the intrigues and manoeuvres
of the reactionary party—.
" The reactionary party, well informed of what was
intended before the 9th of November and sth of De-
cember, formed a firm phalanx, in connexion with the
landholders, patriotic and military unions, and sup-
ported by the bureaucracy. The land was, and is,
inoculated with reactionary publications, which are
disseminated through the medium of the district authori-
ties and their journals. Free-thinking local journals
are either bought up, or their printers punished, by
withdrawal of the usual assistance (by the publication of
local documents). Numerous facts are there to prove our
assertions. But this is not all. Another medium is
employed, and this is the denouncing of all liberal-minded
men who are suspected of being candidates, especially
all ex-Liberal representatives. This has occurred in
several places. But the reactionary party are not satis-
fied with this. They carry their machinations down to
the lower social grade. In summer when a day labourer ad-
dressed himself to a landlord for preference (engagement
for work), the invariable answer was, ' Address yourself
to your electors, to your representative.' At Michael-
mas all the electors were privided with labourers, and
as none of the great landlords would give the poor men
employment, thereupon arose the accusation against
labourers for refusing to work. In many instances, also,
landlords, on leasing new farms, made it a condition
that tenants should vote for candidates named by the
former."
The Prince of PRUSSIA is one of the candidates for
Berlin.

The supreme tribunal of Paderborn has declined
to undertake the trial of HERR TEMME (one of the
presidents of the supreme tribunal of Westphalia),
upon the ground that the Minister of Justice has not
the rigs t, according to law and the new constitution,
to transfer any case from a tribunal, the competency
of which was denied, to another which was not de-
clared competent by law.
A dreadful collision occurred on the 12th inst. on
the Silesian Railroad, between the Austrian and
Silesian trains. There was a great destruction of
life and property.
