PUBLIC MEETINGS IN GERMANY. No slight surprise has been canned in Berlin by a measure which greatly restricts the right of public meetings in Berlin. and which it is believed, has Leen sucested by the recent anarchist outbursts in England, Belgium, and the United States. Hitherto the onl) restriction imposed upon the right of meeting was the statutory presence of a superior police iticer, with discretionary power to dissolve the assembly on its betrayal of the slightest aigu of disorder or sedition. The dissolution of public meetings in Berlin is of so frequent oocrirrenoo that no one ever thinks of inquiring for what particular reason they are sent about their bminem. The presidinE-lieutenant has only to rise up and declare that on the strength of such and such law I declare this assembly to be dissolved," and if those present do not at once stream forth illto the street without show of resistance, the room is at once entered cud cleared by an ever-ready posse of policemen armed with short swords. Hitherto, therefore., there was no great initial impediment in the way of a proposed meeting ; but now, profiting by a clause in the Socialist law, which undoubtedly empowers it to do so, the Prussian Government has decreed that, as fax as Berlin and several other places around are concerned, 48 hours' previous written notice of all intended meetings " oonvoked to discuss public affair. " mast be given to the police, who shall exercise their discretion as to whether the meetings may safely be hold or not. But this restriction shall not apply to regular parliamentary elections of any kind. This police measure, which has come upon the public with the torus of a surprise, is variously commented on by by the press, although the journals of all shades admit that from the formal point of view the Prussian Government is quite within its rights in sating as it has done. The Liberal press, with the „  National Zeining at its head, pronounces the measure to be discreditable, unnecessary, and inopportune. The Tinter correspondent in Berlin says The fast would seem to be thst the Government is growing more and more apprehensive as to the progress of that conflict between capital and labour which is now more or less epidemic in every civilised country under the sun, and that its present restriction of the right of public meeting is , mainly directed against the evils resalting from industrial strikes which have recently begun to multiply in Germany.
