ALFRED. He was also engaged to attend the establishment of the QUEEN during the Royal visit to Germany. In consequence of these flattering proofs of success OTT gave an entertainment to his friends, and after supper he and some of the party were walking along the streets, when they unfortunately encountered a party of students. Some dispute arose, and the consequence was a scuffle, in which the students appeared to have lost all sense of propriety, and the conduct of a soldier in uniform who was with them was outrageous in the extreme. The former struck violent blows with loaded bludgeons which knocked down the companions of the Frenchman, while the soldier himself drew his sabre and attacked Orr. In consequence of this murderous charge the poor man died two days after from locked-jaw in frightful agony. No possible extenuation can be urged on behalf of such an action. It would have been cowardly enough for a party of twenty to attack three, but for one of their body to commit a savage assault upon an unoffending individual is base act beyond comprehension. The Prussian cadet who has thus gained an unenviable notoriety is Count EULENBERG, the nephew of the Prussian Minister of the Interior. It has come to something, indeed, if the Prussian aristocracy are to be permitted thus to give proof of their nobility. They will soon emulate the notions of the Spanish hidalgo, who, upon encountering some obstacle, exclaimed, " This comes of walking upon the earth." A more scandalous and barefaced attack could not have been made, for the Frenchman was not armed with any weapon, and had not even a stick in his possession. If anything could increase the indignation which is naturally experienced at the recital of this transaction, it must be the manner in which the Prussian authorities have taken up the matter. They did not even place the offender under arrest until some time after, and, worse still, it is thought probable that no punishment will be dealt to the perpetrator of this crime. Perhaps the authorities of Berlin may reckon without their host, however. The notion of this freak of aristocratic anger is not a subject of the land whose monarch rules by divine right, and whose nobles are privileged to take any human life if it pleases them so to do. He is a Frenchman, the subject of the Emperor NAPOLEON, and his Imperial Majesty is not likely to brook such an insult to himself and injury to his subject very tamely. The QUEEN has also been greatly concerned in this matter, and is supposed to be taking some steps to obtain redress. The Prussians evidently think that they may act with impunity ; but when we recollect bow they imprisoned and illtreated an English subject for simply striking an impertinent railway official with his fist, it seems intolerable that a young Count should be tacitly encouraged in his vagaries when he cuts down an unoffending man, who is a subject of the French EMPEROR and a servant in the employ of the Queen of

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.  (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)  THE INSURRECTION IN JAMAICA. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 16. The insurrection in Jamaica seems to be a premature outbreak, resulting from the arrest of one of the conspirators who was to figure in the general rising of natives on next Christmas-day. A number of men, some of influence, had been travelling the country for some time, addressing meetings on the subject of negro wrongs, telling them they were oppressed and ground down by taxes. This excited the people, and they determined to seize the land from all the landowners, white and coloured ; and, after killing all the males and children, to share the lands and women among themselves. A lading man of the party was wanted for some crime, and,  on an attempt being made to arrest him, he raised a revolt in his .district, fortunately for the people of Jamaica, prematurely. Had the natives risen all over the island at Christmas, the whites and better class of coloured people would have all probably been murdered.  The volunteers and troops fought well, and by vigorous measures put down the rebellion. Upwards of 200 rebels have been shot or executed. Some accounts give 400 as the number of rebels executed. Some most barbarous murders were perpetrated by the rebels, they having in the remote and rude districts almost gone back to their savage state. Many of the bodies of their victims in the interior were terribly mutilated.  Paul Bogle, the leader of the rebel party, was captured on Oct. 24, and brought in by the Maroons, a reward of $2,000 having been offered for his head, dead or alive. He was tried by court-martial on the day the steamer sailed, and he, being known as their leader, will without doubt be executed. Gordon, the instigator of the rising, was tried and condemned to death on the 21st and hanged on the 23d.  Several arrests had been made in Kingston.  The disaffection, from the latest and most reliable accounts, has only been prevented from spreading, but the rebellion in great measure subdued. The majority of rioters, including most of the ringleaders, have been killed or taken, and peace and good order was expected to reign throughout the island by next packet.  Five hundred troops had arrived from Barbadocs, and gone into the disturbed districts. The Aurora and Galatea left Dominica for Jamaica on the 25th inst. All was quiet at Kingston when the mail left.  The following is an extract from a despatch a General Nelson :  " Head-quarters, Mount Bay, Oct. 24. " The great rebel, Paul Bogle, has been captured by the Maroons, under command of Colonel Fyfe. His trial will forthwith begin. There is not a chance of his escaping the punishment he so well deserves. At 6 p.m., Moses Bogle (brother of Paul Bogle), George Craddock (secretary to Paul Bogle), and J. M'Laren (occasional secretary), and Barron, called Captain-General, a notorious rebel, were hanged. Paul Bogle's son-in-law, and the man who first entered Mr. Fare's house, await execution. Colonel Fyfe reports that he has captured a number of the rebels armed with cutlasses, but no time to give names."

THAMES.  A FEMALE SAVAGE.—Esther Wallace, a woman of colour, with an infant in her arms, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting John Fenge, a police constable, 405 K. Yesterday evening the prisoner waited on Mr. Joseph Giffell, a shopkeeper, of 7, Willington-place, St. Georgein-the-East, and complained that one of his children had beaten a child of hers. He expressed his doubts of the truth of her statement, and said his children had been at home for some time. She then called him a liar, and abused him in a most violent manner. She caused a mob of disorderly persons to assemble, threatened Mr. Geffell, and used the most foul language. Fenge, a police constable, passed and told her to go about her business, and not stand where she was making a noise. The prisoner directly made a furious attack upon him, and attempted to score his face with her nails. Failing in this, she struck him a violent blow on the eye, and he declared he could not see out of it for ten minutes afterwards. A scuffle took place, and she threw the policeman, and kicked him about the head and body. Her violence was irresistible, she remained mistress of the field, and stood over the prostrate body of the constable until four others came from the station, and, after a severe conflict with her, carried her to the station-house. She then said she would have his life on the first opportunity. Timothy Cox, police-sergeant, No. 95 K, stated that the prisoner was the most unruly woman in the district, and that she had been in custody several times. She was once sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour for biting his thumb. The prisoner's defence was a fierce denunciation of Mr. Geffell and the police. Mr. Paget—What is the prisoner's husband ?  Cox—A very respectable and industrious man ho is. The husband got into the witness box and vindicated his wife. He said he was a corn porter, and that his wife had been ill used, which was not true.  Mr. Paget fined the prisoner £5, and in default of payment one month's imprisonment.  The prisoner threw her child to her mother, and said she would do murder when she came out of prison. Explanation.—Mr. Wright, a 'licensed victualler, made an explanation relating to the story of a man named Thomas Marshall, better known as Yorkey, who stated yesterday (Thursday) that he was removed from the house of Mr. Wright, the Five Bells, Three Colt-street, Limehouse, on Wednesday night by a police-constable, and severely ill-used. Mr. Paget granted a summons against the constable. Mr. Wright said that Marshall was found in a shed behind his house on Wednesday night, and he called in a police-constable, No. 91 K, who removed the intruder. Some time afterwards Marshall met with another constable, with whom he quarelled and by whom it was alleged he was most severely maltreated. The affray occurred a long distance from the Five Bells, and some time after Marshall was taken out of the house. Ile (Mr. Wright) had not been a party to the ill-usage of any man in the Five Bells or elsewhere.
