GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, DEC. 3.—The Hungarian Diet, the dissolution
of which has ko often been announced as close at hand, will
probably not be closed till some time in January, that is if
all the projects of law under discusssion have by that time
received the Royal sanction. Meantime his Majesty has
been pleased to send several resolutions to Presburg, the
most important of which is perhaps that which grants the
incorporation of the countries of Thrassna, Szolnok, and
Zuraud, as well as of the district of Kowar, with the King-
dom of Hungary. It is well known that the incorporation
of these districts has been spoken of for years in the Hun-
garian Diets, but the applications made to the Emperor
were not acceded to. This -wish is now granted, and the
Hungarians have received a new proof of the Imperial favour
which has been received at Presburg with unexampled
enthusiasm.
HUNGARY, Dcc. I.—The Archduke Palatine arrived
at Presburg yesterday with his whole family. After the
close of the Diet, which is to be on the 28th, he will go
again to - his residence in Oren. From Sirmia, the
&nue, the County of lieu, and part of Transylvania,
we have the most lamentable accounts of the early setting
in of the winter. All these countries appeared, on the 16th
of. November, to be removed to the latitude of. Siberia.
The vineyards are covered with snow, and the greater part
of the autumnal produce is frozen on the ground. Since
then fine weather has returned, and yesterday the. bridge
over the Danube was replaced. - • •
BUCHAREST, Nov. 20.—The winter has set in here for
about -a week with extraordinary severity, ..The whole.
country, nod, unhappit,v, the vineyards and fields of maize,

with their whole produce, which was late in coming to ma-
turity, are covered with snow several feet deep and frozen
in. so that all hope of saving even a part must he given up.
We receive similar complaints from Bulgaria, Servia, and
Transylvania, of the great quantities of snow bywhich the
roads are rendered impassable. IVaggen,s with goods from
the Leipsic fair are stopped by the way.

PRUSSIA, DEC. 6.—The speech of the Emperor Ni-
cholas to the Municipality of Warsaw continues, in the
absence of 'important events, to be a subject of general
conversation. Some persons affirm that the Prussian Go-
vernment intends to institute an enquiry, in order to learn
who it was that took the trouble of putting the words of the
Emperor into writing, and to make a formal document of
them for the benefit of the Journals. It is considered as a
violation of the intimate connection of Poland with Russia,
and it is thought contrary to propriety that the reprimand
which the Emperor thought it necessary to give, should be
brought without permission, before the forum of public opi-
nions. For say they, if the Emperor had desired that, the
Warsaw Oficial Journal would have been the first to notice
?peech, and certainly have given it complete, and ac-
cordl.7g
to its real tenor ; but now it appears, as if out of
considera.4
to? to the Poles, whose praises he did not pro-
nounce, he 11:'.d desired to avoid this, and not to have
a kind of fainik-
affoir brought before the whole world.
In this case an
act of indiscretion has certainly
been committed. At Warsaw, M. Durand is named as
the person who communicat:,.'d the Emperor's speech to the
jourral ; and organs of the Fren'^-h press seem to participate
in this opinion, or at least try to g,•ye currency to it. Yet
it seems rather improbable that M. o.,zraud, with the di-
plomatic character he holds in Poland, a.'zd with the poli-
tical statements he has hitherto expressed, should have
acted in a manner so contrary to his own feelings. M. Du-
rand is well known to be no friend to the Poles. At the
time of the insurrection he inclined to the side of Russia,
and we remember how he was spoken of in the French
Chamber of Deputies, and how the Government was re-
proached for having an agent at Warsaw who did not at-
tend to the interest of 'the Poles, and felt no -sympathy
for them. M. Durand has since been constantly treated
with distinction by the Russian Government. It is there-
fore thought very unlikely that K. Durand should all at
once have changed his way of thinkL'ig and of acting, as he
was still in the same position as before ; and it became
him least of all, to give publicity to a matter which
was not probably intended to be a secret, but yet
needed the permission of the Em error to be
made the subject of public discussion. For without
such permission, and without the Emperor's having first
seen how his expressions were represented in writLa,g, it is
felt to be neither honourable nor decorous for an agimt to
make use
.of his diplomatic character to meddle in the con-
cerns of others, and contribute to excite fermentation in
people's minds. Those who think thus do not seem to be
la the wrong ; and it must be confessed that if I\l:Durand
had acted with inconsiderate precipitation on this occasion,
he would nilleed be deserving of blame, but that nothing
would be left for him but openly to declare that he sent to
the Journal de: Debats the Emperor's speech, which it
published, and to take the whole responsibility on himself,
that others may not be suspected and brought into trouble,
which he has no reason to fear, but which, if he is silent,
may, in consequence of the investigation which is said to be
ordered, involve many members of the Municipality of
Warsaw.

BELGRADE, DEC. 2.—Prince Milosch arrived at Pascha-
rewatz on the 28th November, in the afternoon, where he
was received by his family, and numerous deputations sent
to congratulate him, from all parts of Servia. The Prince,
however, did not let the deputations wait on him in form,
but told them they might for the present return to their
homes, as he should shortly have to call them together
on affairs of great importance.

BARBAROUS ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—OI)
Saturday afternoon, while a labouring man of the name of
I.;:omas Gray was on his return from Airdrie to this
city, where his family resides, he was made up to by
a fdow dressed in a mole-skin jacket and trousers, who
walked along with him upwards of three miles. On coming
near Toll,:ross the miscreant struck Gray with a large blud-
knocked him down, broke one of
geon which carried,
his legs, and severely injured the other. He then rifled
his pockets, and abstracted half-a-crown; but missed a one-
pound note the poor man was taking home to his family,
and which he had for,!.unately secreted in his watch-pocket.
Gray was yesterday mo,-ning brought to the Infirmary in a
very bad state. No trace of the villain has yet been got,
but we sincerely trust that he will be discovered, and
brought to justice.—Edinburh Courant.
ECCENTRICITY EXTRAORDINARY.—The late
Mr. Boys, whose property became the subject of discussion
in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Friday last, was con-
nected in business with the late . Mr. Thwaytes, the exten-
sive grocer its Fencliurch-street. He Issas SO passionately
fond of the fair sex that, in order to continua in their recol-
lection after his death, he requested that when he ceased
to exist, his bones. should be vitrified, and his flesh manu-
factured into essential salts, an,d be given to his female
friends. He wrote to Dr. Campbell a letter on this sub-
ject in December, 1831, in which he stated :—" Are yi,u
now disposed (without busking) to accomplish my wish
when my breath or spirit shall have ceased to animate my
carcase, to perform the operation of vitrifying my bones, •
and sublimating the rest, thereby cheating the devil of
his due, according to the ideas or some devotees among
Christians? And, that I may not offend the delicate olfac-
tory nerves of my female friends with a mess of putridity,
if it be possible, let me rather fill a few little bottles of es-
sential salts therefsom, and revive their drooping spirits. It
may be irksome to you to superintend the business, but, per-
haps, you have knowledge of some rising genius or geniuses
who may be glad of a subject without paying for it. Let
them clash, and cut, and divide, as best please 'em." In his
';ill, which was dated in June last, he stated," Eliza Morgan
knows that thirty years ago I agreed with Dr. Hector
CaaNbell that he should have my carcase, Car chemical and
anatom.'qal experiments to be by him performed upon it, if
he could svail on her to give it to him. Doubting her
compli„„ce, %yin trouble my hcad no more about it. The
world may thin:: this to be from a spirit of singularity or
whim in me ; be -,lLat as it may. I have always had a
had rather be given away, with
mortal aversion to fune,',ll pomp and expense, and therefore
for the purpose of dissection
trust she will avoid it, ants'
the sum a funeral would cost:,
and chemical experiments."
MURDER OF A SOLDIER.---,Alderrnan Lamprey
held an inquest on Wednesday, in Stc-vexs Hospital, on
the body of the private soldier of the 7th Dragoon Guards,
named Henry, who was brutally and savagely- beaten by a
mob at a public-house in Echlin-street, off Sfs. James's-
street. The poor fellow's helmet was deeply indenied, and
a fracture in his skull corresponding thereto ; his sabre
was taken from him, with which he was severely cut across
the forehead and face. The verdict was " Wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown." The remains
of the unhappy man were yesterday interred with military
honours. Six of the officers of Lis regiment attended his
funeral.--Dublin Evening Mail:
For some time past it had been know, that undef a
man's dress a young English woman acted as factotum to
the partisans of Don Carlos, who have sought a refuge in
England. The telegraph, it is said, had even apprised the
Government of her departure from London to Bayonne.
She was expected in the latter town, when, on Sunday even-
ing, M. Kassime, Central Commissary, succeeded in cap-
turing the female agent, who, under the name of Jonas
Thomas Stralet, had taken up her residence, as a traveller,
at an hotel, on the day before. A quantity Of papers have
been seized and delivered into the hands of the Procureur
du Itoi.—lndicateur de Bordeaux.

Dr.. Stephenson, who was recently lost in the
Nero convict-ship, was carried from his cot (having been
previously indisposed) to the boat, which was swamped by
the rush of the iumale convicts. It was his last voyage,
and would have completed his hid period of twenty years'
service. What adds to the melancholy consequences of
this disaster, is the fact of his having been engaged to a
young lady, to whom he would have been married on his
return. It was his intention to have married previous to
his departure, and to have taken his wife with him ; but
the rules of the service not permitting this he postponed
the eveut, and. thus providentially his intended bride escaped
a watery grave,
