The German Government have used without reserve the large powers con-s fen-ed by the Anti~Socialistic Law.â€" They are canying out its p1ovisions as relentless as the Prussian Government put in force the Falk Laws against ecclesiastical malcontents. In virtue of the new law the Prussian Ministry of State, with the approval of the Bande- crath, recently issued a proclamation to the efiect that persons who were sus- pected of being dangerous to the public safety might be o1de1ed by the police to quit Bellin, and that the carrying or selhng of arms in the capital, Charlotn tenbnlg, Potsdam, and a few other dis tricts, was forbidden. It was thought necessary to take precautions before the return of the Emperor to the capital ; and so something like a state of siege was proclaimed. The new ordinance soon bore fruits. Forty persons were ordered to quit the capital within four days. The expulsion of othem who were obnoxious to the police followed. Even deputies of the German Parlia- ment enjoyed no protection ; and Herr Hasselmann and Herr Fritzsche, two Socialist members of the Reichstag, re-. ceived orders to leave Berlin. There has been a perfect massacre of Socialist journals ; and the German police, in their trenchant way, have broken thro’ artifices of wh1ch much was heard in the tune of the Second Empire in France, and have not spared a journal because it changed its title without altering its principles. Socialist newspapers have not escaped annihilation because they assumed aliases. The official Rafe/iv sunzeige: has published several lists of prohibited publicationsâ€"Socialist song books a 1111 romances. rousing panegyrics of the Commune, inflammatory histories of the Pmsants' \Var, biographies of lussian Nihilists. stormy pamphlets and othe1 such political lile1atu1e.

No such hostility has been called forth by the energetic execution of the Anti-Socials ist Law. Force has not been met, as was predicted, by force. The victims make their protests, obey and depart. There is no distinct symptom in the Press or in the Prussian Parliament, which is now in session, of a general apprehension that constitutional rights, precious to the community, are being pilfered by the police. Noisy meetings and seditious journals and societies ‘ have disappeared. At one stride authm- ity enters the domain of license; and ‘ there is no protesting uproar. THE The return of the Emperor William to Berlin has been marked by some loyal manifestations , the Prussiuns, who are n cold people, being anxious to show for once that they heartily nbhor~ red the legissidsl attempts of Hodel and Nobiling. The Regency of the Crown Prince has now ceased, and the Emperor, whose health seems to be re- stored, will try to glide again into his old grooves of hard work and simple living. He can never again, however, lend the simple and easy life to which he was accustomed, for his Ministers naturally insist that he shall not court fresh dangers : and this compels him to submit to a number of restraints which must he most irritating to a prince who may he almost said to have lived always in public. The Emperor of Germany acceded to the throne so late in life that he has never cared to. bend himself to the slavery of Kingship, and he dislikes to have detectives about his mmon.

It stands at the corr- ner of Unter den Linden, within sight of the Arsenal. the University, and the Opera, and was built for Prince Willianr at the period of his marriage in 1829, when his income was not large. He has lived in it ever since when at Ber“ lin ; and all hints that his subjects would be willing to present him with a more Imperial-looking residence have fallen upon a deaf ear. Until NobiL ing’s attempt the Emperor could often be seen at odd moments during the day standing at one 01 the two windows of his study on the ground floor which overlooks the street. The passing of a regiment down the Limo Walk was sure to fetolr him to the window, and he would acknowledge the salutes of the officers with a friendly wave of the hand. Sometimes he would look into the street merely to watch the rain fall or to amuse himself with the ordinary sights of a crowded thoroughfare , and more than once the odd sight has been witnessed of a beggar appealing to his Majesty for a silver-groschen and being enjoined by the Imperial forefinger to “ move on.” Towards three o’clock a throng of wretched people with petitions used to assemble near the coaclrlrouse to the left of the portico, where the two sentries stand ; and if the Emperor had nothing better to do he Would have them summoned into the coachyard and receive their memorials with his own hands, putting to every once. kind~ ly but shrewd question or two as he did so. After this he used to go out for a drive, unattended generally, in a pair-horse open carriage ; and if ' the weather was fine he liked to alight and take a stroll through the. walks of Their- garten. He was always in uniform, with the cross of the Order of Merit at his neck, and he was strict in expecting that officers and soldiers should salute him ; but he never objected to being ad- dressed by any one who had anything to say, and he would frequently stop Some young suhaltern and walk about chatting with him for half an hour.â€" This was very different from the harsh rules which prevail in St. Petersburg. where any person addressing the Emâ€" peror in a public place is immediately collared by the police and conveyed to the lock~u_p. . Kaiser Wilhelm could allord to mix on familiar terms with his subjects lrecause he is one of those fir m-rrruidml men who know how to say “ No” bluntly, butwwithont rudeness, He evidently regards himself use. father to his people : his manners are paternal, and his sensaofjustice is so strong that he was always glad when he could help in remedying a grievance. The mad- men who tried. to take his life did 'u very bad piece of work so far as the German people are concerned ; for the unrestrained intercourse which used to subsist between the Emperor and sll classes of his subjects is now at an end. The guards at the Palace have been doubled ; every approach to the build- ing is watched by detectives, and peti~ tinners must no longer linger near the cowhyard door. LOUIS. (From our own Correspondent.) The Civic Elections are over and everybody seems satisfiedâ€"making ex- ceptions in favor of the defeated candi~ dates. The real centre of contest Was for the Mayoralty, and if we take the number of candidates as an indication of the interest manifested in Municipal matters, certainly we are well cared for. Those who were best acquainted with the City predicted J ames Beatty's elec- tion. How well this prediction has been fulfilled we are all aWard. His majority of 617 considering the num~ ber of aspirants is an enormous one and speaks well for Dr. Beatty’s popularity. Ald. Close made a yery good run, al» though not as good as was expected. considering the influences hehad in his favor. He may do hotter next time. Mr. Manning polled a good vote. Mr. Turner appeared so late in the field that no one expected him to succeed, but if he had announced himSelf as a candi- date a few weeks earlier he no doubt would have had a capital chance of succeeding. The City can ill afford at the present time to loose two such old and experienced men as Turner and Close. Mr. Brittou’s vote of 700 shews that he has a good many friends and under ordinary circumstances would have made a good fight. Mr.‘ \led~ calf‘s candidacy was looked upon as a huge joke. About half of the number 0! Aldermen elected are new men, so the Council Board wiil be considerably changed. The Consolidation Scheme was carried by a very large majority, and in future we may expect better streets at reduced prices. \Ve might mention in connection with the Mayor- alty that there is some talk of a protest being entered. 'l‘fio Assize Court opened on Tuesday, Chief J ustico Wilson presiding. The ~TORUN’1‘0. criminal calender is rather heavy, and embraces the following among other easesâ€"abduction, manslaughter, two cases of rape, administering drugs, and several minor cases. The Civil list is the usual length, which menus a good deal of work for the Chief Justice. In the Court of Chancery, in the case of the “ Attorney-General of Ontario Vs. O'Rielly," Vice-Chancellor Proudfoot over-ruled the demurrer tiled by the de- fendant, Andrew I". Mercer. This is an information fL'ed by the Attorney- Generul in the Court of Chancery, and praying that the defendants (three in number) be ejected, as the lands escheat ed to the crown. The defendant, Mer. cer, filed a demurrer for Want of Equity on the following grounds. (1) The Court of Chancery has no jurisdiction ; (2) The feudal doctrine of escheut was not imported into this Country by the Imperial Act of 1791; (3) and if it Was it does not apply to lands held in free and common sewage ; (4) The Attorney-General of Ontario is not the proper person to represent the Queen as the Ultimate Heir, and appropriate the monies to the uses of the Provinces. As this is the first case which has been before the Courts of this nature, the decision of the learned Vice~0hancellor was looked for with a good deal of anxiety. We understand the deteud~ ants intend to appeal from this decision and nobody knows when the end will The Local Legislature . was opened on Thursday, amid the booming of can- non, the pmncing of steeds, and the smell of gunpowder. Nothing was omitted that would in any way jeopar~ dice the British constitution, which ail loyal citizens hold so dear. The “ Speech from the Throne," as by courtesy it is calledeas read in an unusually inaudia his voice and in a painful manner. The mace was plawd on the table at the exact time as laid down in the Royal Instructions. The Speaker was in his chair sharp on time, and took off and put on his cocked hat in the manner prescribed by the most trustworthy writers on Ptll'llumelltttl'v practice and precedents; and the Sergeant-atâ€"Arms found greet difliculty and went through unusual contortions in trying to keep his sword from becoming entangled be-« tween his legs. Considering that the Session was opened in 4 such strict ac- cot-dance with constitutional usages it cannot fail to be an important one. Af- ter the Speech was read and the Lieu.. tenant-«Governor withdrew, the new members were int1-.ouuced The Ioppo~ sition held a meeting in the morning, and elected Mr. Meredith, of London, their leader. We understand that the vote was made unanimous. Mr. Mor- ris, of East Toronto, occupies the seat formerly occupied. by the Hon. “7m McDongall and next to Mr. Meredith, who of course occupies the seat vacated by Mr. Justice Cameron. On Friday, Mr. Richard Harcourt, the newly elect- ed member for Mouck, moved the Ada dress. Considering it a maiden efi'ort, it excelled both in ability and intelli‘ genes efl'orts of a similar nature by old»- er and more experienced men. Mr. M. Laws, of East Elgin, also a new mem~ her. seconded the Address, in a well worded speech. On the first paragraph Mr. Meredith made his first speech as the leader of the Opposition, and on rising was heartily cheered on both sides of the House. He maintained his re- putation as a speaker both as to ability and shrewdness. He seems, and in fact he is, the most popular man in the House, and is ccmparntively speaking a. young man. After a lew observations by the Hon. Mr. Mowut, the first para- graph wss adopted, and on the second being called, the Hon. Mr. Morris rose amid cheers to move an amendment. - Owing to the fact of his being a new member, although an old politician, all were eager to hear his remarks, and certainly none were disappointed. He heginsin the usual law tone of Voice and with evident care, and as he pro~ ceeds he Waxes eloquent. He avoids everything foreign and above all any thing which is in' the least degree per» sonal. He made a good impression and when Mr. Bethune spoke subsequently, he congratulated the House on having seemed his services, as it was necessary as long as the Legislature existed to keep up a high personnel. Mr. Meredith was congratulated and tributes were paid him as to his personal worth and intelligence by all the .memhers who spoke.
