JEWS IN PRUSSIA.  Count de Lowenjelm, the Swedish Ambassador at Vienna, says a letter from that, city, May 11, has definitively quitted his post, having been recalled at his own request. The same letter states that Akif Effendi, the new Ottoman Ambassador, is accompanied by a Dervish, who attracts much attention by his original habits. A letter from Berlin, May 9, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that the heads of almost all the Israelite communities in Prussia, having presented addresses to the King, praying him not to allow the Bill to be made law, which separates them from the other inhabitants of the kingdom, giving them particular political corporations, and granting them, in consequence, certain privileges, and exempting them from military service, they have received a letter from M. De ROchow, the Prussian Minister of the Intarior, dated May 5, and in which, in the name of the King, the Minister says :—" It is the intention of his Majesty to take measures, by means of which the restrictions pressing upon Jews shall be taken off. Those measures shall secure their interests on the same basis as those of Christians, and shall give them greater independence and influence with regard to their own affairs, byestablishing corporations, and by offerino• a wider opportunity of employing their talents and their capacities in their own favour, as well as in favour of the Christians amongst whom they live. But his Majesty considers it to be necessary that the realisation of these prerogatives should be accompanied by the conditions which form the basis of a Christian State, 2..nd according to which it is not admissable for Jews to exercise the duties of magistrates over Christians, and he possessed of privileges which might compromise the interests of the Christian community. As to the suppression of military duties now imposed upon Jews, this Measure cannot do them any injury, since it leaves • them at full liberty to enter the service as volunteers. But, under all circumstances, the Jews ought to wait for the result of the deliberations ordered on this subject, and to be convinced that all the reforms necessary for the amelioration of their situation, and compatible with the general interest, shall be accorded them."  At the sitting on the- 18th instant of the Court of Assizes for the Lor-et-Cher, a woman was convicted of the murder of her husband, Sylvian Leloup, of Mouthon-sur• Bievre. They had for several years lived upon bad terms, and frequently had desperate quarrels ending in blows, in which the husband from weakness, caused by having had one of his arms broken, always got the worst. On April 23th one of these domestic feuds arose, and with ,such violence that the whole neighbourhood was alarmed, and assembled round the house of strife; but no one darecrenter, though some of them described the blows as sounding like those of a butcher felling an ox. At length all was silent, and then they called in the garde champetre and the Mayor, who made their way in and found Leloup lying in a pool of blond on the floor, in the last agonies of death. His wife confessed her crime, but attributed the provocation to Leloup, sah s she said quarrelled with her because she opposed his going out in the night., and beat her with a wooden prong. She then in het rage took an iron bar from the tire-place, and did the deed. The Mayor, who was examined with the other witnesses, stated the facts which had come to his kn ,wledge, but at the same titre, in all respects, except as to he: quarrels with her husband, gave the prisoner an excellent character for her charitable ann kind disposition, adding that she was the only person of the place who would undertake the nursing of a patient dismissed from the hospital as incurable. She was found guilty with extenuatino, circumstances, and condemned to be imprisoned with hard labour for ten years. Rio DE
