GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, Aix. 28.—1 t was to be foreseen that
,the occurrence
on the 3d of August would furnish foreign Journals with mat-
ter for all kinds of remarks upon their origin and extent, and
that the truth would appear in many various shapes. But fo-
reign Journals have gone further, and stated as facts circum-
stances of which nobody has thought. Thus we lately read
in one Journal that "barricades were erected in Berlin in those
days." Those who like ourselves know the origin of the events,
and the class of persons who took part in them, can only smile
at such a fable ; but we cannot help wondering that foreign
Journals, usually well informed, such as the Temps for instance,
very gravely repeat all these stories. That Journal, in its
number of the 19th of August, takes occasion from the arrival
of Baron Alexander Von Humbold to say a word on these
events, "as connected with the political situation of Prussia."
The statements in this article are so evidently false, and so at
variance with each other, that they require no refutation. We
will only add the following remarks. The persons arrested on
the 3d and 4th were, with few exceptions, of the lowest class,
and if there is anything- to be regretted it is that the Magis-
trates bad not had these vagabonds placed in safe
custody before. The Cabinet order printed on the 26th,
chews that the King was perfectly aware of this and we know
from good authority, that when a deputation of the magistrates
and others requested an audience of his Majesty, to offer a
justification of the city, he replied, that " it was unnecessary ;
he knew very well who had been active on this occasion."
The natural attachment of the Prussian to the King and the
Royal Family was perhaps never more decidedly expressed
than at that moment, and those who witnessed the lamentable
scenes in the capital had an opportunity of convincing them-
selves how unanimous were the expressions of indignation at
the desecration of the 3d of August, a day which is' a festival
for all Prussians. It is indeed easier, and perhaps more con-
venient, to represent such a riot as connected with the general
sentiments of the people ; and it is not unlikely that there
were some who would readily have taken advantage of it to
give such a statement a degree of truth. Happily the senti-
ments of such are known and appreciated. Their endeavours
will be baffled by the general spirit of obedience to the law,
which has hitherto been administered in Prussia only to main-
tain freedom and equality, such as is the blessing of a well and
wisely-governed monarchy. .
The festival called the Stralau Fischzug, on the 24th of
August, was favoured by the finest weather, to the great satis-
faction of the multitudes of the lower classes in particular, who
enjoy this annual holiday. The villages of Stralau and Trep-
tow, and the broad Spree covered with boats, made a very
animated and picturesque scene. Dancing, music, illumina-
tions, fireworks, and various popular sports, both in the city
and in the vilages, amused the people till a late hour.—

Now that the protracted Session of Parliament is at
length virtually at an end, Members of both Houses are post-
ing off into the country with all possible celerity. It is sup-
posed that by Saturday there will scarcely be a solitary franker
to be found at any of the Clubs.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.--The new comedy went
off with great applause on Tuesday and the house was very
well attended. The Duchess of Buccleuch and party occu-
pied the King's box, in which they were joined by the Duke
of Wellington.
DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL.---The following is
an extract of a letter received by a gentleman in Liverpool,
from John Potter, Esq.,—dated Manchester, 7th September :
" In reply to your letter of yesterday, I beg to inform you,
that in consequence of the proceedings in the House of Lords,
Mr. O'Connell's visit to Manchester is postponed until Thurs-
day, the 10th instant—on that day a public dinner will be given
to him at Hayward's Hotel."

A novel method of destroying caterpillars in the
turnip fields has been practised with success this season in the
parish of Veryan. Corn was thinly strewed about the fields,
and hens, chickens, and ducks, afterwards turned into it.
which in their search after the corn, completdy picked up t)-,
caterpillars also.

NEW STEAM-ENGINE.--It is said the Re•tr, w.
Morris, Minister of Dean-row Chapel, Wilmslow, in Cheshire,
has invented a new steam-engine, the cost of erect' ing which
will be less than a tenth part, and the expense of ' working it
will be less than one-thousandth part, of that of 4 steam-en-
gine of equal power.

IVIAIDSTONE.—AII is activity in hop- picking in
this neighbourhood. The quantity already wr..4, ghed hardly
presents a fair criterion of the general crop, hie.; w e hear, from
more quarters than one, that, although the crJp I, ooks well on
the poles, yet that the hops are found so light the :t the dryers
have much difficulty in getting weight into the pockets and
bags. In our next we shall be able to give a a iore decided
report as to the crop. The hop-picking in Ticeh urst and the
adjoining parishes has become general, and this hops come
down quite to the planters' expectation. The dvip. is estimated
at 24it,4;04-4(oidstone Gazette.
