If we add to this the play at nine theatres, any number of nightly concerts and exhibitions, and an unceasing Found of public dinneré and sappers, it will be seen that there is no lack of amusement ia the metropolis during the sober season of Lent. Preparations for celebrating the King's seventieth birthday, which takes place on the 22d inst., are already Ddeing made, and the festivities on that occasion will be on a more extensive scale than usual.

Prince Frederick Charles received in a spscia! audience the Italian Chargé d’Affaires, Count Puliga, who in the ‘absence of the ambassador delivered to bim im the name of King Victor Emanuel a royal letterand the insignia of ‘the St. Annunciata Order.

Baron Von Loé, Prussian Military Agent, attached to the Embassy in Paris, has been recalled and appointed to the command of a regiment of bussarsat the city of Bonn. His successor is Major Vou der Burg, of the staff of the Second army corps, who will not depart for his new post until after the King’s birthday. The Prince Royal has returned from Stettin, having presided there at a review of the troops and the consecration of colors that have been presented to several regiiftents engaged in the last war. The list of Hanoverian officers who have entered tho Prussian army ts published officially and contains tho ‘mames of not less than four hundred sad twonty: ‘five, of whom thirty-one have been attached te the garrison of thiscity. Many of them belonging to the frat aris- tocratic families of the country, they will be a most welcome adddition te the Prussian army, the nobility of the old provinces being uuable to furnish a sufficiont number of officers for the increased military establish- ments, and it being of course quite out of the question to admit persons who have’not the magical profix of “Von” to thelr games, though in every other respect— education, breeding and talent, they may be infinitely superior to the hidalgos of Pomerania or the Mark. By way of curiosity I. may meation that recently two ser. vant maids were tried by the police court in the city of Hanover for the awfal crime of imitating a cuckoo within the bearing of Prussian ‘soldiers, and that tho verdict, admitting extenuating circamstances, mulcted one with eight and the other with four thalers fine, which, reckoning the wages of these “‘helpa’’ at twenty- four (balers per annum, for this is about tho average of a female servant's wages in Germany, is certainty 9 very severe penalty.

A American Pofltical Literature. One of the latest contributions to Amertean political literature is a votume published by Harper & Brothers, and entitled “Speeches and Addresses Delivered in the Congress of the United States and’ on several Public Occasions," by Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland. These ‘speeches have an exceptional value agiilastrating the history of the times and recording the signal services rendered by the Maryland orator and patriot tothe Union, and particularly to the cause of emancipation. Unlike many of the fanatics of what hestyled ‘she school of Wendell B@Mtips,"" the inte Mr. Davis was fred by a zeal according to knowledge. He was free from the Charge he brought against his colleagues when he said, “Gentlemen logisiate without a knowledge of the coun- try or of the people they are: legislating for.” in one of his Congressional speeches be thus addressed the Speaker:—“Bir, I am a Marylander, not a Northern fanatic. My father was.a slavehoider; I was myself for years a slaveholder. I have lived nearly all my life tompe¥ of her people. I have inia; I know the temper of her people; I know the relations of the white and biack Populations in those States, and I am going to state some facts to the House nearer home than those cited by the dreamers.” It was om facta, not fancies, on what he called “the great politice-economic argument,’’ not on maudlin sentimentalism, that he based his opposition to slavery. He early ‘proved his consistency and his sincerity by emancipating, at considerable personal sacrifice, -hie own slaves, Impracticable as mere partisans held him to be when he preferred bis own convictions to ordinary party restraints, he was thoroughly praotical ia defending the ctaim to the suffrage which Union negroes had in his opinion earned on the battle fleld:—*On many” ‘a bloody battle fleld they have proven that they are men, ot beasts, Will anybody om this subject venture to moot the small, paltry question that hitherto has divided Tiinois, and wearied the people of other States, touching the votiag of a handful of negroes Jost in the midst of whito millions? Is that the way to state a grave national question? or is it wise in these gentlemen of the aboti- tion schools to be always talking of justice and humanity to tho negro? as if justice or humanity ever determined any great question in the world, or as if it were the rights of the negro, mot our safety, which is at stako, It is not a question of justice, but of political dynam cs. Tt 18 a question of power, not of right—a question of salvation, not of morals, The alternatives are before ua of a friendly republican government or a hostile oligarchy atthe South.” As to the entire question of the nogrons in the United States, his advice was:—‘Now deal with tbe problem under the conditions which exist. The folly of our ancestors and the wisdom of the Almighty, in its inscrutavle purposes, having allowed them to come here, they have a right to remain here, and they will remain here to the latest syllable of recordedtime, And whe:her they become our equals or our superiors, whether they blend or remain a distinct people, your posterity will know; for their eyes will behold them as ours do now ‘Those are things which we cannot control, make, laws cannot unmake them, them our equals, then they will work out the problem which he has sent them to work out; and if God has stamped upon them an ineradicable inferiority, you can- hite or black, or add a cubit to their stature. Let us leave auch questions for the gentlemen of the echool of Wendell Philltps to talk. of; but 1 oarn- estly pray gentlemen in high positions, in view of the excited and feverish state of the pablic mind, in dealing with this delicate topic of the welfare of millions of whites and blacks, not to add, to the inherent dificulties of the problem prajudices drawn from tancies, not facts, which we. may never be called upon to deal with, and which can only exasperate the very feeling which we Ought to aliay, and instigate the very collision we, all deprecae.’” In the slow but sure revolution of public sentiment, which is toevitable throughout the South, as | consequence ofthe absolute destruction of slavery, we shall not be surpfised to find the wisest of the ex-sleve- holders foremoat, as the late Mr. Davis was, in dealing more intéiligently with all the questions arising out of tho changed relations of tle freedmen, in securieg their confidence and promoting their interests, than “ North- ern fanatics’? of any school whatever.
