TWENTY YEARS GOVERNED BY AN INSANE
tNG.-According to the Berlin correspond
ence OF the Neao York Tribune the people of
Prussia have, for twenty years past been I'M
der the government of an insane nlan-Fred-
erick William Three. The writer supports
his assertions by variety of statements. He
says that the King had lucid intervals, which
were made use OF by the Queen to dissipate
all douots as TO the condition of his mind.
The following incidents are related:
There exists still an old custom at Pots
dam, according to which the fishermen once
in the year pay to the King an old feudal tri-
butte of fish. On that occasion. the Queen.
to prove to the men of the people the false
hood OF the Iumors then freely circulating as
to the state of the royal mind, dared to invite
the foremost OF these men to a fish dinner, to
be presided over by the King himself In
tact, the dinner went off pretty well, the
hlng mutter1ng some words learned by Tote,
smiling, and on the whole, behaving proper
ly. The Queen, anxious lest the scene so
we'll got up, should be spoiled FASTENED to
give tho guests the signal of departure, when
all at once the King rose, and in a laundering
voice demanded to be put in the frying pan.
The Arabian tale of the man converted into
1sh, became reality with him. In the
presence of the Queen of Portugal, who cell
ebra!ed her nuptials at Berlin, per proc,va,
the King was to have publicly assisted at the
church ceremonies. Everything was ready,
and ministers, aides-de- camp, courtiers, for
eign ambassadors, and the bride herself, were
waiting for him, when all at once, despite the
desperate efforts OF the Queen, he was over
taken by the hallucination of believing him
self the Bridegroom. Some queer remarks
he dropped as to his singular Destiny in be-
ing married again during the life time of his
first spouse, and as to the improperly of his
lthe bridegroom's) appearance in military
uniform, lett his exhibitors no chance but TO
counIermand the spectacle which had been
announced

The latest reports from Washington say that
the Cabinet has all deserted Buchanan for Doug
las, and that the Presiden. alone Of the Admin
istration adheres to his original opposition. One
letter writer says:
'Senator Hammond Of South Carolina has
united with other fire eaters in sustaining Doug.
las Buchanan thus stands between two fires.
The real ground of the present hostility of the
Administration is that a reconciliation was ar
ranged between Douglas and Buchanan after the
adjournment Of Congress, through the interven-
ton of Senator Gwin and others, which Buchan.
an alleges was violated by the bad faith of Mr..
Douglas"

dear to the hearts OF Americans that was not
upheld by the Republicans, yet they advise
Wings to vote so as TO strike down the men who

REMEMBER IT !-How often we have urged
our female readers to remember in case their
clothes take fire to at once lie down, and as
soon as can be, be covered with a rug blan-
ket or other WOODEN wrapper. Yet in nine
cases out of ten in such case the victim
runs, thus creating draft which gives the
flames fatal power. Last week at Var
mouth, Mrs. ]. p. Marshall had Just set a
fluid lamp on shelf when it exploded with
loud report and covered her with the blaz-
ing fluid. As usual she started to take fa-
tai run, but in striving for the door she trip
ped, aud fell PROSTATE; a wooden coat was
thrown over her, and the flames went out -
Had she succeeded in reaching the door ter
rlole death would have been the certain re-
suit. Remember to fall PROSTATE in such cas-
es, and cry Tor wooden covering !-Lo,OeU

est of all the abodes of those whose steps lead
down to hell; and it is made convenient to
dispose of a stripped man from the back door,
or allow one heated with strong drink to en-
ter and be plucked. Willis has kept class
of well dressed men about the hotels and
public places, to find and secure victims for
his house; and the man to be robbed enters
by the font door, but few know of his going
out Marks of blood in great quantity have
been found in the halls, passages and near the
cess pool, and so far the testimony of the
gill has been corroborated. The matter is
now undergoing an investigation. Great ex.

HORSES IN NEW YoRK.-They estimate the num-
Der of horses sold during the Spring season of 1858
in New York city, at fully twenty-five per cent less
than it has been in any of the last FIVE or six years
and scarcely half many have been sold this year
as were sold in the same time three years ago. In
one class of horses, the demand is constantly in
creasing. That is, for the saddle for men and wo-
men. There are ten saddle horses kept there now to
OneteR years agO,and good ones will meet with ready
sale at all times. The demand for good sing,e-bar
ness, driving horses, and roa listers generally.
whether double or single, is also very good, and
elegant match pairs will always find purchasers at
high prices. There are many horses valued at
$1,000 to $1,000 each The greatest falling off,
both in price and NUMBER sold this year is upon the
class of low priced work horses. Buyers for stages
and city railroads have paid about $125 upon the
average, against $l85 on the last year, and have
got horses worth Sl5 more making a difference of
S25 per head. There is not much demand for ship
ping trade to the South, and what there is seems
to be provided for mostly by the low priced small
horses from Canada. The average number of horses
kept on sale is estimated at a thousand head.
It is not much if any, over half that at the present
time.
