The Frankfort Journal states that the Prince Von Lich-
tenstein, who served in Spain under Don Carlos, is about to
proceed from Berlin to Syria, where he is to have a command
in the Turkish army.

The Queen was slightly indisposed on Sunday last, but we
are now happy to say that her Majesty is quite recovered.

Mr, DUKE OF ORLEANS.—Louis Philippe is fortunate in
his family. They are the finest that Europe has seen since
the memorable promenades of the sons and daughters of the
excellent George 111. on the terrace of Windsor—perhaps
the handsomest assemblage of youth and beauty from one
parentage ever known. The Duke of Orleans is now thirty :
he is tall, and though of a rather slight figure, well made and
graceful in his movements. His countenance is handsome.
He is also an accomplished person, speaks English and some
other languages with fluency, and is very well informed on
the general topics of the time. Without taking any part in
the politics of the legislature, and indeed scrupulously keep-
ing aloof from all opposition to the throne (a rare circum-
stance among heirs-apparent), he performs in some degree
the office of a viceroy—sometimes attending the armies,
sometimes making progresses througlf France, and on all oc-
casions ready to be present wherever either pihlic tumult or
the royal will demands the activity of an intelligent and
manly protector of the peace of the kingdom.—Blackwood.

EXTENSIVE COMBINATION IN THE NORTH ON GER-
MANY.—There exists in the north of Germany a society of
working masons, which is most completely and extensively
organised. The chiefs are renewed every month, and are in
correspondence with:e% ery town in Poland. At Dantzic all
those masons who refuse to enter into this society are way-
laid and beat with bludgeons; so also with those who refuse
to contribute to the current charges. If a mason has com-
plaints to prefer against his master, he addresses himself to
the society, whereupon a self-constituted tribunal assembles,
;..nd the complainant is usually successful. Two workmen
proceed to the residence of the party sentenced by the tri-
bunal, and summon him to pay from 10 to 20 crowns. If he
refuse, an anathema is issued against him, and no one will
afterwards work for him. Whole cities have been subjected
to an interdict when a misunderstanding has arisen between
the master-masons and their workmen ; and no German city,
however powerful, can escape from the effects of the anathema
when once it is pronounced. Thus the city of Hamburgh
has been forced to buy its exemption recently from the ope-
ration of an interdict for the sum of 500 crowns. One city
is judged by three other cities, whose condemnation involves
it in the necessity of paying damages. At the present mo-
ment some workmen who continued their labour at Ham-
burgh during the period of the interdict are obliged to pay
a fine of 15 crowns each man. The amount of these fines is
spent by the body of workmen forming the combination.
Berne was anathematized ; but the civic authorities imme-
diately took proceedings against all extern masons then resi-
dent in the city, and a general order has been issued for
their departure by a particular day. Hanover, Lubeck, and
Schwerin also pronounced the condemnation ofthese societies,
and energetic measures are everywhere being adopted to
combat them.----Leipsic Gazette.
