We have received the Berlin journals and our private correspondence of the 9ih instant.

She has, it is said, selected some morsels of Mendelssohn for the occasion. This concert takes place in one of the great apartments of the ministry of ecclesiastical affairs, and is only open to subscribers, of whom there are about 200. The composei, Julius Stern, is director. Lord Burghersh is expected to arrive this evening at the British legation, on a visit.
