PRUSSIA.

The other day the Crown Princess of Prussia had a narrow escape. Travelling with her hus' band, by an extra train, near Frankfort, their carriage was smashed in. Happily no one was seriously hurt.

A Berlin letter in the Rhine Gazette thns describes the feeling exoited in the Prussian army by the recent murder at Bonn. " Satisfaction his demanded," exclaim the officers, " from whom, and for whom ? Is it to bo expected that an eminent member of the society, which forms an estate in tho Government, should be dragged before the judges for a cook I • That would be a bad example, and the more so if thpre is a desire to prevent foreigners from interfering in the administration of. Justice in Prussia. It would be an attack on the honor of tho nobles, and an encouragement to the' prido of the middle classes, And must lead to the most serious dangers for the tranquillity and the safoty of the country." The officers naturally conclude in declaring that the Foreign Powers have in nowise the, intention to interfere in this " obscure affair," and that no ambassador has given himself tho trouble to speak to M. von Bismarck about such a bagatelle. . The official account at lost, and apparently reluctantly, given out by the Prussian authorities concerning the murder of M, Ott, is that Count Eulonburg and other students was attacked, and a scuffle ensued, ■ when Count Eulenburg >felt for his sword, found it gone, and then laid about him with the scabbard. It is also stated that the medical evidence is to the effeot, that the wound on M. Ott's head, was inflioted by a blunt instrument. This is the first official version of the .affair that has been vouchsafed us.
