The electoral reports from Prussia show a decided increase in

the strength of the Liberal party. A few more Conservatives have been returned in places ruled by the officials ; but Berlin has sent up none but Liberals. Herr von Vincke, leader of the Moderates, has been rejected as too Conservative, and Herr Jacobi, who in 1848 told the late King that " that it was the misfortune of monarchs never to listen to the truth," is among those returned. The new Chamber will be a shade more determined than the last, -and the Feudalists expect that the Bing will be driven to abolish the Constitution and proclaim himself absolute. Poor man, he does not want to give any cruel orders ; but the situation of a serjeant- major whose men will not "stand at ease" by order is not enviable.
