The Prussian Galernmed is getting savage under its Parlia- mentary
defeats. Dr. Jacoby, Radical member of the Chamber, and personally obnoxious to the King, has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment, for having advised his constituents not to pay taxes till the Constitution was respected—an offence once com- mitted by Lord Derby. Dr. Frenzel, another member, has also been sentenced to two months' imprisonment, for having spoken dis- respectfully of the King. Prosecutions like these show temper and excite it, but while a Sovereign out of temper is apt to look' and be silly, a people out of temper is almost invariably dangerous. Ridicule is not the sensation which a crowd in a rage excites.
