THE PRESS ON A PRINCE.

Our correspondent at Putbus has kindly sent us a copy
of the leading journal of that principality, the Putbusser
Pallmallische Zeitung. This paper, lately reduced to a
groschen, bases its fame not only on the accuracy of its
views and intelligence, but on the reproduction of public
opinion from all sources on matters of general interest.
A s an instance of the manner in which the journal is con-
,lucted, we will merely give a page of extracts on an event
that has caused recently much excitement throughout the

principality:—
" Yesterday (June 30) the Crown Prince attended the
three hundredth anniversary of the Society of Carvers
r.nd Gilders. On his health being drunk, his Highness
responded as follows :—` It has given me much pleasure to
be present at your meeting to-day. It has also given me
pleasure that you have drunk my health. The Carvers
and Gliders have always been loyal to the Sovereign. I
drink to their health. The memory of this day will be
carved and gilded on my heart for ever.'"
(From Die Zeit.)

"The speech of the Prince is eminently of a practical
character. It addresses itself to the plain common sense
of the people. To none could it be more acceptable-than
to the society to which it was delivered. Stripping the
subject of all surplusage, the Prince applied his mind to
what Mr. Gladstone calls the kernel of the question. In
the present state of the public mind his speech is calculated
to do much good."

(From Der Teigliche Telegraph.)

" Seldom has the invention of Franklin and Wheat-
stone, the philosophers of the two worlds, spread peace
and truth us last evening. Speeding over the air-cost
wires flew the words of the Prince—flew from the House
of Johann von Groschen to the southernmost part of the
State—full of hope and exuberant joy—of promise, of
brightness, and of faith. Happy the society that could
elicit such words—happy the Prince who could speak
them—proud the country the scene of such great things.'
(From Der drorgen Stern.)

" Royalty depends for continuance on its possessors.
Royalty without virtue is a symbol and a sham. With
virtue it may be productive of use to the Democracy.
The speech of the fortunate young man who seeks to rule
our land is likely to do him good. Amid the tinsel and
corruption of Courts he seeks to keep his mind unsullied
and, to the best of his lights, to do his duty."
(From Der Morgen PM.)

" The speech of the Prince last night was singularly
graceful and happy. His rhetoric is felicitous, and,united
with a prepossessing appearance, could not but produce a
cheering effect on his audience. Some of his sentences are
worthy the days of Von Grattan and Von Shell. What
could be Letter than his exordium?—` It has given me
much pleasure to be present at your meeting to-day r
Could more, or as much, be said in as few wore s? lie
spoke from the heart, and the people will appreciate the
effort."

(From Die Ttigliche 117adric1eten.)

" In addressing the Carvers and Gilders the Prince ex-
hibited a considerable knowledge of political economy.
This science, but little known to priLces, is perhaps the
corner-stone of monarchies. The Prince is evidently alive
to the merits of this society. Without the Giltiers it
would be impossible to the standard price of
gold. Professor Jevcns has calculated that Lot for the
consumption of gold iu the gilding trade the price of that
article would fall from £3 17e. 6d. to 12 Ss. Id. We
trust that after the thoughtful speech of the Prince some
reform may be introduced into our banking legislation."

(From Die Fahne.)

" While Messrs. Von Gladstone, Von Bright, and their
crew are caballing basely to upset the foundations of our
faith, it is pleasing to perceive how royalty ever asserts
its true greatness. With the Carvers and Gilders are
bound up our early associations, as well as the ground.
work of our aspirations. To the cultivation of these arts
we owe much that is ennobling. They refine our taste,
stimulate our understanding, and lead us to higher
things."

AND SEVERAL OF TEEm.—At the last State concert
was performed " Heaven preserve the Emperor with
Variaticns." Would not this do for the Irench National

Anthem ?

THE SEVERITY OF THE SUMMER.— The dog•days have
come—to find cautious people wrapped in fleecy hosiery,
and shivering over the fire. The weather has one canine
characteristic, not usually associated with the dog•days—
it is very biting.

UNGAINLISEOROUGICS BLUE Bore.—According to th 3
Telegraph, the Queen's breakfast has settled the chief
article of full dress for mornings—a blue dress coat, with
brass buttons. Dash our own if we put it on ! That's
final, and so the proud tailors may go marching away, and
invent something comelier. We can't help women wearing
whatever the things they call their minds are set upon,
but, disestablish it all, a man can refuse to be a Guy,
unless he have Leen christened by that noble name. A
black frock coat, and a flower, or no Buckingham break-
fasts for Mr. Punch—should not the Queen command
other garb. To please his Sovereign he would come in a
hop-sack, with a cabbage-leaf on his head ; but be listens
to no tailors, except Jeremy Taylor.
A TEERILLL \Timor.— My dear Whalley,—Have you
heard the dreadful news? It was made known to the
House just ere the witching hour of midnight, on last
Monday week : when, referring to a vote of further funds
for restoration of the crypt beneath St. Stephens—" Mr.
Guildford Onslow hoped the House would not refuse the
vote. A Catholic priest, a friend of his, had seen the
crypt, and thought it very beautiful. (Laughter)." At
this awful news the House is reported to have laughed!
Laughed? yes, "regardless of their fate, the little
lambkins play." But your fertile mind will grasp the
terrible significance of the disclosure which was made. A
Catholic priest has been exploring underneath St.
Stephens! When a visitor like this is admitted to a
House, ought not somebody to keep a sharpish look
out for the Fawkes?—Yours, in fear and trembling,
PUNCH.
