KONIGSBERG. JAN. 6.—lt appears that the murderer
of the venerable Bishop of Ereniland got into the palace,
with which he was well acquainted, in the evening,
when the Prelate had sent all his servants to church.
He appears to have gone direct to the Bishop's sitting
room, and to have cleft his skull with a billhook, so
that he died instantly. He then broke open the cup-
board in which the money was kept. At that moment
the housekeeper came in, and the murderer, though
disguised and wearing a mask, thought it necessary, for
his security, to murder her ; he, accordingly, gave her
a severe wound in the face, and fled. The servants
returning from church, found the two bodies, and imme-
diately gave the alarm. The physicians found the
housekeeper still living, but unable to speak, and without
hopes of recovery.
BERLIN, JAN. 9.—Public opinion soon designated
one Rudolph Kuknappl, as the murderer of the
Bishop. He is 26 or 27 years of age, of the Roman
Catholic religion. He has several brothers and sisters.
He was educated by the Bishop, who, intending him for
a clergyman, placed him in the seminary. Being dis-
missed for bad conduct he was taken by the Bishop as
a servant, but was dismissed for theft, and bound to a
tailor, but he would not work, and led a vaga-
bond life, repeatedly threatened the Bishop and
the Canons, and declared he would act fire
to the residences of several Canons. For this he
was put in prison, which increased his rancour towards
the Bishop. He lately demanded of the Bishop 400
dollars, threatening him with the worst consequences if
he refused, He was seen near the Bishop's residence
between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening, and in search-
ing him to-day much of the property belonging to the
Bishop was found. He was arrested, but instantly denied
the charge. His parents, with whom he lived, and his
sisters, are likewise arrested.—Prussian State Gazette,
Jan. 11.

HallovEn, JAN. B.—Our military armaments have
been carried on more actively than ever, especially as
regards the cavalry, which is said to be complete, and
ready to march. The infantry is also placed on the
war establishment, and orders are given to be in readi-
ness to march ; but in general, few people believe in
a war.

1-lAnovca, JAN.5.—The King has wholly recovered,
and appeared in public some days ago ; but to-day has
had a slight relapse. On New Year's Eve there was a
brilliant drawing-room, and afterwards a concert. The
superior Corporations sent their written congratulations
on the new year to his Majesty.—Hamburgh llorsen-

A TAll.olt.—Some snarling cynic has said, it
takes nine tailors to make a man ; it is a sweeping cen-
sure that should be blotted from the page of calumny ; we
aav in contradistinction, that it will take the brains of nine
ordinary men, to make one highly-gifted tailor ; take
nine bundled and ninety nine ordinary mcn, arid try and
make every ninth man a tailor, the experiment would fail,
take our word for it. " l'oeta".—no—" Sartor nascitur,
