Accounts from Berlin of the 4th state that some
apprehensions were entertained for the tranquillity of
the capital, in consequence of the profound sensation
occasioned by the prorogation of the Chambers. The
Prince of PRUSSIA has expressed to the KING his dis-
approval of the arrangement of Olmutz.
Accounts from Vienna of the 2d state that it had
been arranged at Olmutz that Austria and Prussia
should each reduce their armaments one-third.
Accounts from Cassel of the 4th state that the
Bavarian troops were advancing on Hersfeld, and that
the Prussian troops had advanced from Cassel to meet
them ; a collision was hourly expected. It was said
at Frankfort that a general attack was preparing by
the Bavarian General on the Prussian positions.

ALEXANDER POPE has seldom been more bril-
liantly honoured in regard to his resplendent genius
than he was on Thursday evening. Upon that occa-
sion an Earl was the celebrant of a Poet—a Minister of
State disdained not to offer the homage of admiration
to an Author, by delivering a lecture upon his literary
compositions, before the members of a Mechanics'
Institute. The intelligent population of Leeds, who
were fortunate enough to be present during the dis-
course pronounced by Lord CARLISLE on the writings
of the bard of Twickenham, must have derived an
exquisite satisfaction from the circumstance, as may
be imagined by those who glance through the report,
given elsewhere in our impression of this evening.
From that report, however inadequate, in many re-
spects, it may be conjectured with what eclectic
taste the noble lecturer entered upon the examination
of the great poet—one of the greatest among the
many geniuses adorning our English literature—
ranked by Lord CARLISLE as coining immediately
after—Sl:UWE, that intellectual microcosm of the
universe—MILTON, whose harp was like the lyre
struck by some seraphic minstreI....SPENSEJL, the de-
bonair and idyllic enthusiast of nature, who rendered
himself the undisputed master of Allegory—
and DRYDEN, the most robust and vigorous
of the poetic throng, whose verses seem
bound together by the palpitating fibres of his sensi-
bility, and whose voice resounds, as in the matchless
ode of ST. CECILIA, with all the passion of TYRTCEUSI THE ACCOMMODATION OF VISITORS
and all the suavity of THEOCRITUS. After these in- TO THE EXHIBITION OF 1851;
