BERLIN, JUNE 9.

I

Some alarm has been' excited among the poorer classes in Berlin,
by a report that the establishment called the iiddre&skates (the great-
est pawnbrokers' institution at Berlin,which warthe property of the
late Privy Counsellor Humbert) had got into difficulty. Besides
lending on pledges It also took money, for which it paid four per
cent. interest ; and the pourer classes were accustomed to deposit
their savings there, especially before the establishment of the Saving;
Bank. The report was, that it bad suspended the repayment of
the sums deposited. It is now understood, however, that the Di-
rectors have provided, means to satisfy the most urgent demands. As
this Institution was allowed by law to take eight per cent. and could
obtain as much money as it 'wanted at four per cent, such au event
as an embarrassment eras quite unexpected, and scarcely imaginable.
It is said, however, to have had great losses by discounting bad bills,
and by the depreciation of property on wnich it bad mortgages.
—lt Is scarcely to be imagined how the value of real property bas
been depredated in all the Prussian States. Thus the Reichard
L.tates, in the neighbourhood of Dantaic, which at no very distant!
' 'period here valued at 164,000 dollars, and on which the Crid
sq;:asfisr., salt is called, bad lest 90,000 dollars, were sold bye/make
for 32,0u0 dollars: that is, at less than a fifth part of essir sot.
ntated value.
The Bank for Savings established by the Magistrate, ofihis
cit.; seven years ago, prospers to a very remarkable mailer. Ac-
cording to the statement published yesterday by the blagistrates,
the number of peisons subscribing has increased in that period from
• 3'S to 14,135, and the avail deposits (Mtn 14,491 to 430,405
dollars. The amount of Use deposits at,the close of the first year
Vies 14,032 dollars, and at that of the seventh, is 69.5,420 dollars.

The French Papersof Wednesday and Thursday have
reazhed us. The Conricr Francais, of the former day,
contains an article from Corfu, dated May 27, nbich,
after stating that " the Geelcs tiiumpli on all sides,"
gives a vague account of an engagement by sea and
land on the 19th of May, in which the Tui ks are said
'to have been defeated. " Miaulis entered the port, and burnt the
vessels of the Vice. Admiral Topa Paella ; the army at the same
time attack and mete Cossacks, Asiatics. and Janizaries, and a
.double victory proclaims the triumph of the Cross."
Lewis from Trieste of the sth inst. give a similes, accounetof the
naval action, the result of which is stated to have been the burning
of the Egyptian fleet, and the liberation of Navarino. Accounts are
alter saidto have been received from Corfu, stating that Navarino
had bete saved front falling into the.bands of theTerks, by itimely
and successful battle.
These Papers contain ankles from Madrid, which amuse the
Spanish people with imaginary victories gainee by General Ota-
erne In Peru. The coasting trade of Spain continues to be seriously
interrupted by the activity of Colombian privateers. which make
prizes of almost every ship which ventures a league or two from
the land. An article from Milan, dated the 12th instant, states
that the residence of the Austrian troops in the Kingdom of Naples
was to continue, because it appeared impossible,' Wore the expira-
tion of the Military Convention existing between the•Coutts of

We yesterday announced the ratification by the Mexi-
can Government, of the Treaty of Commexce wi It this
country. It was carried by a large majority in the
Congress, though the letters do not state what the votes
were in number on this ques ion. Its having b:en car-
ried by a large majority is, however, a proof that the
apprehension entertained of the opposition of the pa jests,
and of the aristocratic class, had no solid founiation.
Among these classes, on account of their old preju-
dices in favour of the mother country, the measure
was far from being an acceptable one. They had the
address, it seems, to conceal this, and therefore, in
their opposition to it, took the popular view of its
being derogatory to the dignity of the Mexican Federa•
tion, and a recognition for commercial purposes only,
while that of their political independence, thciugh im-
plied in the other, was passed over without direct nt.rice.
—Our transatlantic brethren may be excused for a litt'e
inexperience in diplomacy, or they vould have scen
that the act of making the treaty was in itself an act rif
recognition more valuable and substantial than any de.
claration could convey. That the party were able to
do so little even with this aid, is a pro, f (.1 the insigni-
ficance into which it has fallen. The State of Mexico,
and that of the Federation generally, is represented as
perfectly tranquil. The exchange at Mexico had fur-
ther improved, being quoted at 46 to 47. The accoutre

ROYAL DEJBUIM I ZA FOURCUETTE, AT THE •
COTTAGE IN WINDSOR GREAT rAfir.

- - - -
His Meson's visit to Windsor, on Wednesday, was for the
sole purpose of giving final directions respecting the Intended
splendid fete, which will be given in a few days, Within' the
enclosure that surrounds the Cottage, upon a more extensive scale
than any entertainment since the Kum came to the Crown.
Between four and five hundred persons, including nearly all the
Princes, Princesses, and Nobility of the land, now in England,
are invited to the bliquet. The pleasures of the morning are to be
diversified. They will consist of aquatic excursions on Virginia
Water, in the new yacht, just launched; rides, in every variety of
vehicle, provided by his Meaner; temporary booths, erected in
the grounds, where fun rind drollery of every description will be
exhibited, all the public pet formers, especially vocal performers,
both native, Italian, and French, will occasionally entertain the
Royal guests, and the breakfast will consist of every delicacy which
our improved system of cookery, and the early produce of the
earth, in choice fruits, aided by our neighbours, can supply.- The
decorations, water excursions, fire-works, and arrangement of
the whole fete will be confided to Sir CHARLES Ixeso, Sir Wititau
Couneeve, and his MAJESTY himself. The fetes given-by the
Duke of Devossuzer, at Chiswick, first suggested to the KING
this magnificent entertainment. We hope the public will not be
rigorously excluded from the sight of this display of magnificence,

after taking a full view of the apartments, returned to Carlton Palace.
An interesting scene took place between two Royal
Brothers, at a Masonic dinner, given at the Thatched House
Tavern, on Friday sennight. The Duke of Sasses, in returning
thanks for his health having been drank by the company, alluded to
the Duke of Yost, who happened to be present, with so much
warmth, affection, and brotherly love, that the Noble Duke ab-
solutely shed tears. It is delightful to witness the extreme
cordiality that seems to subsist between the two Royal Dukes in
private, notwithstanding they are directly opposed to each other
on all great political questions. •

CONSISIOR•Y COURT-THIS DAY.
•
JONNSTOkIt V JONNSTONE.
This was t suit instituted by Captain Johnstone, against his wife,
for a divorce, by reason of adultery. From the evidence of Ad-
miral Toliemache, the father of the Lady, of Lard John Lenox,
and Lady Aldborongh, it appeared that Mn. Johnstone eloped and
went over to Paris, where she formed an intimacy with Lord
Brudenell, wkit whom she cohabited at that place, at Versailles,
and at several hotels In this country, passing in every instance as
Lady Drudeoell. About six months back our Readers may re.
member that an action of Cam. Con. was tried between the parties,
and damages to the amount of XICOO awarded against Lord
Brodenell.
Sir Cuetrrnmtra Roantsnu, after a review of the facts of the
case, concluded by pronouncing for the divorce as prayed.
