in the trial of Waldeck From everywhere ad- |
dresses, congratulaiing the latter on his liberation
are sent in. Another great triumph has likewise
been gained by the acquttal of the deputy Jacoby,
at konigsberg, who has been tried oa the charge
of high treason, for his having taken part
in the deliberations OF the late National Assem-
bly,, when that body had removed from
Frankfort to Stutgard. The accusation against
Jacoby was principally founded on the speeches
he had held in that assembly, and on the pro-
clamatlon TO the German nation issued by the
latter and signed by hun, In which all the govern
ments OF Germany which refused 10 carry out tn,
resolutions of the assembly, had been declired
guilty Of treason against the people. The lnlus
tice, however, that he alone, though one OF the
principal leaders of the democratic party should
be made responsible for the acts OF the National
Assembly and for speeches he had made IN his ca
pacIiy as member of the same, could no, fail to
cause the Jury 10 return the verdict OF not guilty.
His acquittal is regarded another defeat of the
government similar TO that II has sustained in the
trial of Waldeck.
According 10 accounts received to-day from
Frankfort, the Austrian and Prussian commission
ers have arrived al that city, and the Archiuke
John is about TO resign the central power INTO their
hands.
The usual Christmas exhibitions a, Menz's and
krolrs saloon, and other fashionable establish.
ments Of this capital, have again been opened this
wear. and show a fine display of taste, with that
mixture Of fun, farce and humor, which Is the
principal characteristic Of Christmas entertain
menis a grand puppet show, IN which all the
political characters of the day represented, and
whole scenes from real life copied, has been OPEN
ed at the Hotel de Prusse, and has been placed
under the direction OF The principal wits of Berlin.
The author OF the famous piece "BerlIn at Night"
which has now been gwen for the hundred and
fhcih ume NJ the hOingStddfer theatre, and still
attracts full houses whenever It is repeated has
composed new comedy or farce called "Berlln
and China" 20 be acted al the theatre in the He-
tel de Prussie, which IS daily crowded to
excess. Every manner Of satire and caricature
10 udcule the political characters and movements
Of the dav, are made Use of, whilst neither the
minlsiTy, the chambers, the constitution, the Ger
man unity, nor anything else; Is spared. The
scene OF action Is Frequently laid in China for the
purpose al eiiectirg more striking contrast IN
mixing Mp the politics Of that Interesting country
with The German politics. j. has been an observa-
ton frequently made on this occasion. that though
the riddles end mysteries Of The Chinese world
may be said To be somewhat unintellIgbe, they
are nothing compared with those which Germany
presents az thus moment; and that as regards
the question oi successful Capitalization, that
empire may be said TO have equally the adj
vantage over the latter. What is German
unity If compared with Chinese unity. which has
e1ls,ed for several thousand yesrsl Besides this
farce, IN which the sublime add the ridiculous are
happily blended thsre are likewise other repre-
sentaiicns given, containing equally important
HATS and lessons with regard 10 German politics.
The events, since the re establishment OF the old
regime the time Of the so.called passive resist
ance, when General Won Wrange entered the
capital al the head OF the troops, and the Berlin
citizens delivered up their arms, are all recapitu-
lated and 1t Is found, that, though the same sys-
TEN has been earned on ever since, matters have
become worse instead Of better Passive resist
ance has, at last, become complete passlveness,
which is showed even in the exercise of the right
OF voting by the liberals, and has ended with the
retirement Of the whole liberal party from the
scene Of political life. Satire ~ the only manner
Of resistance now thought of, or still practsed.
In addition TO the Christmas theatre at the Hotel
de Pussie, several others have been opened at diff.
e. la : tlxe,y nd
krol's on a smaller footing. The magnificent sa-
looms at The latter establishment have been fitted
out and decorated in beautiful siyle-the former
representing a Moorish palace and garden, IN the
fashion of the Alhambra in Spain. KrolI's hall
has been Transformed INTO an allegoncal picture Of
The universe, in which the four elements form four
different groups, INTO which the whole room Is d.
vlded, representing the empires OF the EARTH fire,
air, and water. The idea has been conceived and
executed by an eminent ARTIST Of this capital and
the Gnangemest a the different allcgorical scene
lies Is made with great taste. The establishment
Is every evening thronged by the gay world of this
capital.
