that material and fa,tering re- action
has occurred in our commercial system

MIR. Wooler then rose. He said, bad
as was the system, he had neverexpected
TO behold such deliberate n,arshalling o
murder and havoc, bIoodshed and mas
sacre. They did not see the merci,ess
conduct OF any one individual but they
beheld conclavc of fiends assembled,
and celebrating how they ,ould let loose
murder and destruction with most effect.

The accounts from tie Continent are
very ominous. The Government of Prus-
STA seems to be aeiiatcd in no common
degree. A letter from WiShaden states.
that arrests, domiciliary visits, and Sc
questra'ions of papers, continue there,
aud excite general surprise. These appear
10 be carried on al the instance of the
Berlin police. Several ciergymen have
been taken mp. They are accused of
entertaining republican principles, and of
mingling politics with their religious
instructions.
