POLITICAL ARRESTS IN PRUSSIA.—" Although
the Prussian Government is, certainly, as the officer who
travelled with meirom VervisTx.admitted, remarkably just
and equal in all matters of civil justice, a circumstance
which Dr. Steven mentioned to me, shows how unscrupu-
lously and summarily are all matters that savour of politics
dealt with. Dr. Steven, to familiarize himself with speak-
ing German, engaged a professor in the town to read that
language with him for an hour each day in the week ; on
the first, second, and third days the professor was punc-
tual in his attendance ; on the fourth and fifth he appeared
not ; on the sixth, Dr. Steven, thinking that the professor
was unwell, called at his residence, when he was told that
the police had arrested him two days before, and had sent
him off (the landlady said in irons) to Berlin, on suspicion
of his being a member of the Secret Society—a supposed
confederacy of men, chiefly literary, who, it is presumed,
have in view the complete revolution of Germany. I was
told
.of many such arrests ; but in Prussia, these matters
are very quietly managed, and create little of the general
sensation which a similar circumstance would excite in
France and England."—My Note Book.

Two or three years ago, a young woman of the
commune of Onnaig, near Valenciennes, was married to a
fine handsome fellow who called himself Servais Joseph
Demat. All. the necessary certificates were produced in
due form, and the bridegroom was attended to the altar
by a person whom he represented to be his father, and who,
on the occasion, delivered a most affecting address to the
new married couple. The wedding was gay, and the ma-
trimonial horizon shone cheerfully for several months, but,
after this, the husband suddenly disappeared without atty
known cause. After waiting some time in painful expecta-
tion, inquiries were set on foot, which terminated in the dis-
covery that the fugitive had gone into Belgium, that he
was a discharged convict, that the person who bad repre-
sented his father was an impostor also of equally bad cha-
racter, and from the testimony of the real father, who has
been found, the false husband was not Servais Joseph, but
Paul Demat, another of his sons, who had assumed the
name of his brother, and thus committed bigamy, as he had
another wife previously married, who is still living, and by
whom he has two children. Upon these facts being proved
before the Tribunal at Valenciennes, the second marriage
his been annulled.
