FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BOHEMIA, OCT. 20.—A
report, probably exaggerated, is generally spread here,
that a rising of the people had taken place at Limberg,
in which the soldiers of a regiment joined, and which
was so serious that it was necessary to employ cannon
to quell it.—Leipsig AllgemeineZeitung.

BERLIN, OCT. 2..:; -M. Von Grollman, President of
thr! Superior Privy' Tribunal, died here on the 21st of
this month, having nearly completed the hundredth, year
of his age.
HANOVER, OCT. 22.—His Majesty the King returned
this morning from Brunswick.

At the urgent desire of his physicians, his Royal
Highness, the Crown Prince left his summer residence
yesterday, and, as the Furstcnhof Palace, where he
usually resides, is under repair, he has taken apart.
ments in the Ernest Augustus hotel.

BERLIN, OCT. ‘2.-2.—Yesterday morning a Cabinet
messenger arrived at the hotel of the French Legation,
and since then nothing is talked of but the preserva-
tion of peace. Already, on the preceding day, an ex-
press has brought very pacific accounts, in consequence
of which some arrangements that had been previously
made have been revoked.

BERLIN, Oci. 2.6.—The King has given up his in-
tention of going this week to the Rhine, and has de-
ferred his visit till the spring. It is neither the ulti-
matum of M. Thiers, nor the daily increasing probabi-
lity of the preservation of peace, but the health of the
Queen alone which has caused the King to change his
resolution.

BERLIN, OCT. 2l.—Nearly five thousand persons of
all ranks were at the ball and supper, which his Ma-
jesty gave yesterday evening, to the deputies who came
to do homage, and to the city of Berlin. The company
entered first the splendidly illuminated Rittersaal, pre-
haps the most magnificent apartment that ever was
built, in which on one side was the throne, under a
canopy of purple ♦elvet, and the other side
covered with a costly display of gold and silver
plate,' and, what was a significent mark of distinc-
tion to the citizens received by the King, the
silver shieltd which they presented to him, as a memorial
of the late imposing ceremony, was by his Majesty's
commands fixed immediately over the throne. Never,
perhaps, did so simple a symbolic arrangement so
deep an impression on an assembly. The effect will be
received by the whole nation with the same enthusiasm;
we may say that it is an event of importance in the his.
tory of the world, that the King b.ds fixed to his throne
the shield presented to him by 'nis citizens. 'Who will
then dare to touch this ;'prone, and their shield

HENTY, NOW ON TRIAL FOR INCENDIA
RISNI.-A rumour having got circulation through some o.
our Contemporaries, that John Henty, now on trial before
the Court-martial at Sheerness, had, about four years
since, when carpenter on board the Sparrowhavvk, pushed
a midshipman overboard, for the purpose of gaining the
credit of saving him, which he did, by immediately plung-
ing after him, and supporting him until both were rescued,
As this rumour is calculated to prejudice the accused,
we feel it but an act of justice to state, that we are in-
formed by an officer who was on board the Sparrowhav k
about ten years since, that a midshipman fell accidentally
overboard at that time, and was saved by the carpenter,
whose name lie forgets ; and that so far from the least
suspicion being entertained that the midshipman had been
pushed into the water intentionally, his family presented
the carpenter with a considerable reward, and he was
