GERMAN PAPERS.

BEhNE, JAN. 22.—While some report that the students
in our University devote their attention to politics more
than to study, we learn, on the other band, that they have
resolved, by a great majority, to abolish duelling, and that
they have founded a General Association of Students for
the promotion of the objects of the University.
ArnErts, DEC. 29.—The winter has set in with extra-
ordinary severity ; the summits of Hymettus and all the
surrounding mountains are covered with snow. This sud-
den change has increased the distress there already pre-
vailed, the greater number of persons in Government offices
being still unprovided wit:: lodgings, and others find but
little protection in the ill-constructZl Athenian apartments.
It is also to be regretted, that there are only two inns at
Athens, one kept. by a Frenchman, and the ether by an
Italian, and that no German has yet set up a regulai inn.
The scarcity of artisans is very great, so that good work•
men, who should come with some little property and the
necessary tools, would certainly find their account. The
long-wished plan for the establishment of schools, Gymnas-
sia, and the University, have at length been submitted to
the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public Instruc-
tion, and has been approved of. It is founded on the Ger-
man plan, for which purpose the Minister had procured
the statutes of all the German Universities, &c.
Time will show whether the imitation is good.
King Otho enjoys most excellent health, and has
conferred orders on a great many persons. Among them
are the Ministers Von Lesuire and Rhizzos, and Admiral
Maulis ; among the Bavarians in public office,—Councillor
of State, Von Grandauer ; Privy Councillors, Von Kreuzer
and Von Klenze ; the Post-Master, Von Lippe ; the Mas-
ter of the Mint, Von Leprieur ; Aulic Councillor, Von
Thursch. Mr. Von Robell has entirely recovered from
an indisposition which at first excited some uneasiness.
Some very respectable persons have consented to take a
part in'the journals to be published in the German and
Greek languages. The Chevalier Prokesch Von Osten,
Ambassador of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, has
arrived here. That those who have to go out at night in
the city, which is full of rubbish and ruins, may not break
their necks, the Government has ordered a post to be set
up at the corner of every street, to which a board is fixed
with the name of the street, and alantern. Therehave lately
been robberies at night, which used to be rare. They are
ascribed to the very numerous Maltese of the labouring and
menial class now here. The gendarmes endeavour to seize
the authors of the robberies.

BERLIN, JAN. :U.—His Majesty the King has been
pleased to give new credentials to Councillor Bunsen, hi-
therto resident Minister at the Court of Rome, appointing
him Ambassador Extraordinary to the same Court.

WARSAW, JAN. 27.—The Municipal Council of this
city gives notice that the Polish noble youths who are to
be admitted into the Imperial Russian Corps of Cadets
must not be above twelve, nor under ten years of age.
Those who are already above twelve years old may be re-
ceived, as soon as they have completed theirsixteenth year,
into the Noble Regiment. The applications for admission,
which are to be presented to General Pankratieff, Military
Governor of Warsaw, must be accompanied with the ne-
cessary certificates of the noble descent of the youths, of
their baptism, and the state of their . health. Those ad-
mitted are to be sent to St. Petersburg at the expense of
their parents, or if they have no parents living, at their
own expense. _

LEG-HORN, JAN. the course of this month we
have had five Prussian ships here at once, and they were
the first Prussian ships that ever visited our port. This
induced M. Stiechling, the Prussian Consul, to communi-
cate the circumstance in a particular manner.. He invited
the Captains of the five ships to a spendid entertainment,
to be present at which, the Prussian Charge d'Affaires, M.
V. Schaffyolsch, came from Florence. Before dinner
Divine Service wa; performed in the Protestant Church,
where the crews of the ships were assembled, and the Rev.
M. Algower delivered an impressive discourse on the
occasion.—Frankfort Paper, Feb. 4.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'4.

The number of subscribers present yesterdaywas greater than for
many weeks past, but there was no corresponding increase of busi-
ness, nor did the few engagements entered into occasion any variation
of importance, a slight improvement in Pucelle, and a decline of
three or foie• points in Bee-in-a-Bonnet (such decline being evidently
only for the moment) comprehending all the changes. Some half-
dozen bets were made on the Oaks with about as little effect. We
add the prices at the close of the room:—

" Napoleon," said M. niers lately, " gave the
French a world to plunder." The month of August does
better—it gives France a world to ransom.—Charivari.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT BY FlRE.—Yesterday
afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, a young lady, named Har-
man, called on her brother, Mr. William Harman, of Prince's-
street, Hanover-square, painter, and was standing with her
back to the parlour fire, when her dress by some means caught
fire, and in an instant she was surrounded with flames. Every
effort was made to divest Miss Harman of her burning ap-
parel, but befare this could be accomplished she had sustained
the most frightful and extensive injury, particularly about her
arms, neck, and face. No hope can be indulged of her re-
covery.

ANOTHER /INCENDIARY FIRE AT ROTHER-
HITHE.—On Saturday last the premises of Mrs. Bennet,
directly opposite the Thames Tunnel, were found to be on
fire. About half-past I I o'clock a female servant of Mrs.
Bennet, who has lately been left a widow, went for some do-
mestic purpose into the back-washhouse, when she was surprised
to find various combustible articles in a state of ignition ;
among other things some tow, which had not been previously
on the premises ; and, had she not entered at that moment, in
another half hour the whole house would have been in flames.
At the present moment suspicion cannot attach to any parti-
cular person.

On Tuesday, as Mr. Boys, of Malmains, was hunt-
ing with the East Kent Harriers, he dismounted for the pur-
pose of leading his horse over a brook with a steep bank on
the opposite side, when the spirited animal accidentally leaped
on his master's left leg, and fractured both bones. Mr. Boys
was immediately taken to Mr. Nethersoles, of West-street,
where he received the kindest attention, and in an hour the
fractures were reduced by Mr. Ernmerion, of Sandwich. We
rejoice in being'enabled to state that Mr. Boys is doing well,
and that the gentlemen of the hunt are not likely to be deprived
of his valuable services beyond the season.
