NO. 5285. MORNING EDITION----WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, Our German Correspondence, Srutaarp, October 30, 1848. The “ Stamp Law”—Resumption of the Sessions’ of the “* Landstand,” (Legislature) of Wurtem- berg—A New Miracle—Doings of the National Convention—Affarrs im Vienna—-News of Hecker’s Arrival in New York, §c. To what extent we are to be benefited by the acts of the National Parliament, may be inferred by the paseage of a new law, or rather the revival of an old one, by the *‘ Landstand” of Wurtem. berg, relative to the press. You will recollect in what decisive, plain, and emphatic terms the * perfect and unlimted freedom of the press” was Empire, (Reich) can be united or connected with a foreign, (1. e. a ‘not German,’) state.” Sec 3 ordains that, ‘when any German country, or state, has the same sovereign, or government, with a foreign state, the relation of the two states. shall be settled according to the principles of personal union.” (What is meant by “ personal union,” Iam ata loss to explain, not knowing myself.) The firet of the above paragraphs passed the convention by a majority of 340 to 76; the latter was passed by 316 to 96 votes. I give you a brief review of the news from Vienna which has reached us during the last week. Oct. 19--The retreat of the Hungarians to their own terntory 1s confirmed. It 1s rumored, that the Hungarians were negotiating with his majesty, the Emperor, at Allmuetz; and that his guarantied to the German nation by the Parlia- ment, not more than about two months ago. As near as I can remember the precise words of the act, it runs'thus:— The perfect liberty of com™ municating his thoughts, ideas, and opinions, either vetbaily, by means of writing, signs, or through ‘the press; 18 guarantied and secured to every German citizen and subject, and neither tax, security, nor censorship shall in any way be suffered to interfere with the pertect and most un- limited freedom ot the press.” The law goes on to enumerate every possible manner in which this fiberty may be attacked or anaulled, and to forbid every one of them as distnelly as possible, so that no ‘one would have dreamed of being able to evade its provisions. In spite of this law, and di- rectly in opposition to it, the cabinet of Wurtem- berg have published a decree, according to which every periodical ‘‘dealing in politics” is subject to the imposition of a stamp tax, amounting to 30 kranzards, (about 20 cents,) a year for each sub- scriber, making, 1n some instances, the sixth part of the subscription price! The effect of this law is more deplorable and more dangerous than even the old eystem of censorship was, by which every article was suppressed that in the least opposed the government or its functionaries, for it entirely abolishes all the minor papers in the whole king- dom, and leaves one eervile, creeping organ of the Mimstry, the “Scherabische Merkur,” in undis; puted possession of the whole field. Butitis not only for the future that this tax is to be paid by the propri- etors ot political papers; no, the “liberal” and “high-minded” cabinet intends to collect this tax for the period of 15 years previous to its enforce- ment! Jt is very evident what ie meant by this un- heard of proceeding on the part of the government. In Stutgard, there appear two journals, which may be said to be the Teading organs of the parties, the Sch. Merkur alluded to, and the Beobachter ; the former, the semi-official organ of the cabinet, the latter, the mainte paper of the democratic, or, as it is called by the conservatives, the plebean party. The Merkur is {ed and fattened by all sorts of official patronage, so that its proprietor has be- come one of the nchest men in the eountry, and finds himself very comfortable in the enjoy- ment of his office; while the Beobachter, lett to himeelf, and being, perhaps, the best edited in Germany, is continually at warfare with the former, and takesthe liberty of oceasionally say- ing bitter truths to the members of the cabinet, as well as other high functionaries whom the Merkur isin duty bound to defend. The revival of the stamp law was thus hit upon (by suggestion of the Merkur itself!) to get rid of this troublesome pa- per; for if the obachter be made to pay, the above tax for the last fitteen years, it 18 utterly impossible that it exist any longer. The price of papers is so Jow in this country, that any farther 1mposition of atax inevitably causes the ruin of all, save the official organ, the Merkur, which will, in this event, etand alone, and be without competition.— The fect has refused to repeal this law, on the ground of ‘financial difficulties !” | Beautiful fruite of the revolution! Most responsible minis- ters! Unheard of liberty of the press! Last Thursday (the 24th) the legislature met, afterats recess of three weeks, The whole of last week was spent in Cebating the propriety of abol- ishing the laws in relation to the chase. resolved, that “every man have the right to hunt upon his-own property,” (including, probably, the right to-catch rats and mice in his own house, and fleas in his bed.) As_nidiculous as this so- leman concession of a legislative body may appear to some of the -backwoodsmen of the United States, it 1s nevertheless a great relief to all of our peasants and farmers, who have heretofore been much treubled and sustained serious dam- age by the game, which they were forbidden, on in of ten years’ incarceration, to kill or hunt! ‘he right of chase was an exclusive privilege of the eyes the King and his favorites. An illus- trative anecdote was told me some time ago, by a farmer, who had very cunningly evaded the law an regard to the above. He set numerous traps for the hares and rabbits that had done much in- qury to his young trees and shrubbery, taking very Tit le care to conceal his proceedings. The officer appointed to guard the game, soon discovered it, went to his house, and asked him if it was true that he was in the habit of catching hares. The peasant admitted it. Whereupon the officer re- ported him to the proper authority ; he wasseized and tried ; but after again acknowledging that he had often caught rabbits and hares, he proved that he had never killed any, but only gave them a smart switehing, to warn them not to intrude upon his Premises again! Of course, he was dismissed ; ten being no law to prevent the switching of ares. In to-day’s session of the legislature, the discus- sion of the above law 1s continued. It 1s made the pretence for many attacks upon the nobility; and questions, principles, and matters, are debated, in utter defiance of all alt deel rules, which have no more to do with the chase, than the American Congress with oysters and turtle-soups. The days of miracles are not yet over. We have had one here lately, that shames the celebrated “Coat of Trier” out of countenance. At Weissenau, in the Oberamt (county) Ravensburg, a girl of about 20 years of age, came to the priest of that place, and contessed that she was infested with a bad spirit, probably Beelzebub himself. Her father, as she stated, had bartered away her soul to the devil; on the way to a certain chapel, where he intend- ed to to deliver her to the orphan asylum, he made an incision in her finger, and signed the contract with her own blood. Since that time, the devil exerted infimite power over her ; was continually plaguing and torturing her; but, also, occasionally saved her life, in preventing her trom drowning, when she had jumped into the river, &c. The priest took pity onthe poor creature, prayed for and with her day and night, and soon succeeded in so far subduing the devil, that he ceased cursing and blaspheming. At last, the poor girl is so terrified. that she writhes and groans in her agony, ani attempts to um out of the window. {fn this emergency, ibe Joly Virgin appeared to the un- happy victim, (whether in the presence of the priest or not, [could not ascertain,) and pointed outthe means by which she might be perfectly saved. She related to her, that about 32 years ago, her father had stolen a valuable crucifix, a Madonna, and a birchen rod, from the chureh at Mergentheim, buried them in the Eglinoger Heath, and that as Jong as these articles were not dug 1) and brought to the convent of Einsiedel, the devi would continue to have power over her. | Accord- ingly, the priest sallied out, and after various cere- monies, produced the articles in the presence of, at least, 1,400 persons, who had come to Leta the miracle. The girl immediately swoonéd away, the priest examined the crucifix, the rod, nd Madonna, and lo! they were in as perfect a ate of preservation as if they had been buried but aday previously. From that moment, the girl was radically healed. It is to be wished and hoped that this diabolical business be more care- fully examined, and the real devil ascertained. leanwhile, th Parliament continues. mm its slow and tedious pace, in the discussion of the German constitution. ‘The eritical position of Austria, the difficulty, whether Austria is to be admitted into the confederacy as a whole and un- divided monarchy, or whether Gallicia, Hungary, &c., all foreign nauons, and having nothing in common with the Germans except being subject. to the same Emperor with the German part of Austria, be excluded, presents a knotty port for e solution of our imbecile statesmen. This 18 the first obstacle in the way of the great ‘‘anion,” so much talked of, and so very improbable. If Austria be not taken into the conlederacy, with all ite foreign elements, as a counterbalance of the ambitious Prussia, it 0 be feared, that the lat- er State will & fuch an ascendancy in our counsels, that Pruseig will not become German, but Germany Prussiag. Besides, it is very un- certain whether Austria can be reconciled to a representation based exclusively upon its German ion. Piussia and Austria are, the Athens and Lecedemcnia of the German Confederacy; and as the contention for the uscendency of these two repubiice, in the ancient Grecian Contfedera- ston, proved the ruin of the whole nation, so they threaten to prove an unconquerable barrier to the realization of the German union. _ In the sessions of the 27th October, the 2d sec- tien of the constitution was pagsed, in the fol- Jowing words: “Sec, 2, No partol the German majesty promised to treat them leniently, on con- dition of unconditional eurrender and obedience to his crders. Minister Hornbart! was heard to be at Gmurden, The Reichstag negotiated with Auersperg; he declared, that he intended to re- main in defensive position, and await the orders of the Emperor. The ambassadors, Welcker and Mosle, from the National Parliament at Frankfort, had igeued an address to the population of Vienna, dated Patsan, 19th October. 20th October.--Vi- enna is in a perfect state of siege; the communi- cation is suspended, provisions are getting scarce, and aid is not expected {rom any quarter. Sull, the inhabitants are as brave and anxious for the fight as ever. A proclamation from the aanparOr, demanding,the dissolution of the academic legion and suspension of all public journals, caused great excitement and indignation. Deputation after de- putation is sent from the Rennie to the Empe- ror. The northern railroad is abolished by the troops, to prevent the arrival of succors to the Vi- ennoise, and the communication with the north is thus completely cut ofi, The ambassadors of the National Parliament sent to the Emperer at Ol- muetz. A regiment of Upper Austnans, ordered againet Vienna, declared to be willing to fight for, but not against the inhabitants. Gen. Hammer- stein 18 reported to have invaded Hungary, with 10,000 roya) troops from Gallicia. 21st October.-~ In the provinces, espectally in the Steiermark and Kaeruthen, the uproar increases. The ravages of the Mey have caused great commotions at Bru- enn. The members of the Reichstag are decreas- ing daily, so that it is very difficult to obtain a quorum for the transaction of business. A new election has been ordered for all distiicts whose reprecentatives left the Reichstag out of fear or from principle. The emperor grows more severe in his terms. A deputy fiom the city council was sent away, without bad permitted to treat with him. His preclamation of the 19th was referred to as his ultimatum. 22d October.---Prince Windischgraetz proclaimed the city to be im a state of siege, and martial law. The Reichstag declared this pro- clamation to be illegal and unconstitutional. An en et ‘was expected; the alarm bells were tolled, and everybody prepared for battle. In one of the additions (Nussdorf) an action did take place, arising trom the desertion of some soldiers, who were fired upon by Auersperg’s men. Onthe 23d and 24th the city was in uncommon excite- ment; on the morning of the 24th the conflict began. After a short cannonade, the royal troops took the Taber bridge. and advanced into the Leo- oldstadt. No further news of the termimation as reached us here. The inhabitants ot Vienna are brave, and resolved to die or conquer; if they are subdued, Vienna will have ceased to be a German city. Murper or Joun Huegnes.—On Sunday night last, John Hughes, a colored maa, and for seve- ral years past porter at the Tioga County House, in this vijl 8 stabbed in the side and neck with a dirk knife, by Carll, mulatto, on the corner of Ithaca and Mai , the latter wound severing the carotid artery, and causing his immediate deat ‘The circumstances, as appeared from the Defore the coroner's inques Mond: stantially as follows : U: ed from the colored church with a couple of colored girls living at the Tioga County House.

Logan tes- tified that he witnessed the whole affair—that he was within ten feet of the parties from the time they left the County Heue until John received his mortal wound, and that the latter gave no blow, er menacing gesture, or threat of any kind; and it is conceded on all bands that he was a man of good dirporition, and entirely inoffensive. if there had been ony, previous misunderstanding between him and Carll, it did not eppear on the examination before the inquest. ‘We could not look upon the case in any other light than that pf wilful and premeditated mi der, and such was the verdict of the coroner’s jury, after sn full and careful invee of the facts of the case.

The dedicatory prayer wa’ offered by the Rev. Dr. Peck, after which the Rev: Dr. Dowling, delivered an address. He spoke of the quiet resting of the dead, and made a beautitul guotation from Kirk White.

And the children of Heth answered—in the choice of our repulchres bury thy dead—none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre. And Abraham stood up and showed himeelf to the cbildren of Heth, and he ccmmuned with them, saying—If it be your mind that I should bury my dead, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar, that be may give me the cave of Macpelah, that is by the end of his field, for as much money as it is worth, he shall give it me for @ possession of a burying ‘place.

With such a pill, and on such ccasion, we trust the house will be crowded in every: part, Broapway Turatre.—The bills for this theatre, last night, announced two pieces of Irish pecutiarities, Rory O’More,” and the “Irish Tutor;” and no exer- tion on the part of the managers, was omitted to place them on the stage with appropriate effect, embracing in allthe characters the talented stock company of the establishment, and presenting, im the scenery, an adaptation that reflects much credit upon the enter- prising proprietor, We presume that these pieces, which formed the fondamental basis of the dramatic reputation of one whose talents cannot be eclipsed and will ever be cherished inthe memory of those who sympathize in his unhappy and premature fate, were designed to introduce to the public another can- didate for the crown that fell from the head of the not-to-be-imitated and ever-to-be-lamented Power. ‘When he ceased to breathe the language, and perform the character, in purity, of the Irishman, in all “kis glory,” inall bis dignity, all imitations are vain, the public are disheartened with them—and, with one or two exceptions, the spirit has fled with him who pos- rested it, Mr. Macarthy falls far short of what ap- pears tous the representative of “Rory O’More,” or O°’Toole.”” He possesses # fund of natural humor, which he exercises “ad libitum,” and with some tact ; but his provincialisms are intolerable, and his brogue broad, even to excess. Of his musical pretensions, the public are the best critics. It is fruitless for ma- nagers to expect or actors to bope for success, unless they can realize something more than a caricature of the honest, unsophisticated Irishman ; and we re- joice to find that a respite to such s course is inferred ixcm the ever gratifying announcement that Mr, Mur. doch will appear this evening, in the character of “Kichelieu,” in which, we believe, he is no counter- Site parely, original, and as porely. American, He stands on bis own merits, and by them lets himeelf be weighed In the balance of popdlar estimation. Nationat Tueatne.—From pit to gallery, this house was perfectly crammed last evening, by » most respect- able audience, and from the way in which the shouts of laughter pealed forth, we ebould say there was not a tingle individual of them but was thoroughly pleased with the evening’s entertainments, Yankee Hill was in his best vein, and as Return Strong, in the farce o “Cut and Come Again,” which was played firet, he was mort inimitable. He certainly cam personate the down-easter with ae much raciness and humor as any actor we ever saw; he gives his words the true Yankee twang; and when he says s good thing, bis jovial face seems radiant with the fam. We must net omit no- ticing Mrs. Chapman’s very excellent personation of the Yankce housewife; her part was but a short one, still, ber dress, her actions, and tone of voice, were the Yankee all over. Mra. Chapman bas become a great fa- yorite at the National, and is a very excellent and use- fulactress. “New York as It Ie,” the farce of the “Yankee: Pedlar,” aud the burlesque of the “Lady of the Lions” formed the rest of the entertainments. We need not say that they all went off with great éclat— as everything that is undertaken at the National is ne Well. To-night, the drama of the “Green Mountain Boy,” “New York as It-ls,” and “New No- tions,” will form the bill. first and last pieces, Great preparations are making | for Thankegiving day. Bunion’s Turatre.—Last evening. the entertain- ments at this elegant place of amusement were set | apert for the benefit of that clever actress, Mrs. | Brougham, anda well filled houre was the result. The performances commenced with the amusing piece called “Cuttle’s Capture,” in which Mr. Burton, as usual, brought down enthusiastic applaure, in his in- imitable conception of the old sailor. Mrs. Brougham as Suran Nipper, was greatly applauded, and Mrs, | Vernon, as Mrs, MeStinger, was excellent. Mr, Ray- mond, as Toots, was received as om former nights, with considerable approbation. The next piece was a thetch, called ‘Counterfeit Preeentments,” which pared off exceedingiy well, After which, was Played the “Irish Engagement.” Tim aiferty, Ir. | Brovgham, kept t udience in one continued roar | of laughter. ‘The evening’s entertainments concluded with an abeurdity,,called “Thomas remiah in Amuica, or Life in the New World.” James Hall | Trollope Dickens Fuller Green, on a tour of observa- tion, making @ Look on America, was taken by Mr. Burton; and certainly Mr. B. was at heme, keeping the delighted audience on the laugh the whole time. ‘The otber parts were very good, and the hit at the | distinguished foreigners was well appreciated. This evening, the much admired and talented actress, | Mise Chapman,takes ber benefit, on which oceasion be performed the “Old English Gentleman,” “Ma- tical Arrivair,” and “ Beauty and the Beast.”— From this attractive bill, together with the well de dmerit ct the fair actress, we sincerely hope the thie talented young lady will rally up their friends, aud give her a substantial token ‘of their ap- probation, by filling the house to overflowing. | Pawenwacue —Guxo'n’s Fourth Concent.—This | fine band of musicinas gave, last evening,an -acellent cntaitainment, which was attenged by ® numerous ond fashionable atdience. It is with great pleaeure that we tee the tarte for music thus invading our city, | and we are sure thes it will be, one day or other, agreat | benefit to the com=wpity.

Dr. Stewart, one of our experienced eye ns, examined theman and pronounced him tobeinsane. Yesterday morning the keeper of the prison, on opening the cell doors, told the deceased to get -up, as he saw him lying in bed; he amewered the keeper, and said he would, when thortly after, on returning ‘again to his cell, he saw the deceased eetting up on his bunk with his pan- taloons in bis hands, apparently in the act of gatos them on, but he did mot proceed. He spoke to him, and receiving no reply. he entered the cell and took hold of him. and them found him to be quite dead. The mort singular circumstance is, the natural posi- tion of the deceased when found. He appeared to be alive, in the act of putting on his pantalcons, in which position he must have died ins‘aatly without a struggle. It is supposed to have been by diseace of the heart. The inquest willbe held this day.

AnoTner Guirse aT Lirk, AS REFLECTED IN THE Cask or Mepora Wenster.—We published yerterday, s somewhat romantic account of the adven- tures of one Medora Webster, as she is called, and ap- pended @ very affectionate letter from a Mississippi cotton planter, !n which he offered his heart, hand and cotton tothe adorable Medors, in case she would ac- cept his offer of marriage. In the same article it was stated that Medora has not been seen or heard of since a day or two subeequent to the trial of Mrs, Mead, for her abduction. As we have accidentally learned some additional facts in relation to the singular prosecu- tions with which Medora is cennected, w them delow, as an illustration of “life” ina phase not ge- nerally visible to the public. Maria Webster, as she was christened, or Maria Medo.a Lincoln Webster, as she calle herself is & very pretty and Intelligent girl, who was born in Montyill fe, inthe year 1526. Her parents now reside at Thomaston in that State. They being poor, Maria, or Medora as she calls herself, at the age ‘of ceventeen or eighteon, left home, came t© Maseachuretts, and was engaged in various cotton fnc- tories, She came to Boston from Lowell, and went to Lowell from Springfield. Shortly after her arrival here, the prosecution against Mrs. Mead was commenced, and at the same time another indictment, charging Mr. Ellis, a constable, and Mrs Mead, with attempting to hire her to leave the city and not testify in the first cage, was found. The story she told, aad on which the grand jury founded their action, wasa rehearsal of such wrongs, and such a detail of virtue struggling with vice, that the grand jurors, in their indignation, pit their ‘lips, pulled out their handkerchiefs, wiped away a struggling tear or two, and voted the bills.— ‘When the firet indictment was tried, the same affecting story as told the grand jury, was told upon the stand; the court rocm was as still'as if Mr. Choate had been addreesing the jury on murder case, and some of the b’hoys behind the bar clenched their fists, shook thoir bunches of fives at Mrs. Mead, and would probably have vented their wrath upon her orally, if in no other manner, had they not feared arrest for con- tempt. Of courte it was necessary to break down ber testimony in order to clear the defendant, avd sundry witnesses testified that she wass notorious liar; that she had been turned away from her boarding house at Springfield im consequence of bad conduct; that she was a prostitute, a thief, ke. Thore who had screwed their imagivation up to the highest point, now put on their hats, gave Medora a look of contempt, aud left, the interest of the scene having pasted, Interest in the affair would have ceased bere, but that the indict- ment sgaivet Mr. Fils had not yet been tried, and it was necervary to prepare the evidence, pro and con, in this case.

Mr. Ellis thinks they were all written bere, and sent to the points where they are postmarked, for purposes deegton. What we have en with regard to this singular af- fair, bas been done in order to illustrate @ ecene or two in life underthe surface; and what we have stated arematters that have been testified to in Court, or would have ben sworn to, had theindictments against Mr. Ellis and Mrs, Mead been tried. Mr. Ellisexplains his connection with Medora’s case very satisfactorily. He taye Mrs, Mead solicited him to get her out of her houre, the having become disgusted with Medora’s bad conduct. He says that the only time he ever saw her before he was indicted, was on @ certain occasion, when he cffered to arsist ber to go to her home in Maine, ond that was at her own request.
