BERLIN (PRUSSIA)? 1847. A travcW, in writing for liio Providence Jour- nal under date of Berlin, March 25, 1847, aa>>:? The tone of morality in Berlin, not only as respects outward honesty of conduct, nut in a deeper and more organic sense, is piiialily low. It lias not yet "<" ,v, ' r d from the aloei-tie alio, k of 1 lie epoch of Krcdcri, 1, the (.rent, antl all In ugh this city is the head and centre of the new Prus- sian Evangelical Church, that chinch is 100 much a creature of llie monarch and the government, to have a deep root ill the affection*, or a dec ided influence upon ihe character, eitlu r of the inha- bitants of Berlin, or of Prussia in general. With the intense inclination ot the Pru-siun theory ot governme nt, to Bring every thing into a system, into formulas, into organism, into automatical operations, Re ligion iisedf, the most spontaneous of all things, has born shaped, and presse d, and modelled, and organized, till it has lost the linea- ments of nature,and the warmth and elasticity ul life. Old religions partialities, the cherished cus- toms of the Lutheran, and the simple forms ol the (Jalvinislic worship, have been di-regardeel, and a rude hand lias cut litem all away, to form a new, prim, arbitrary, an I unnatural hgure, which labelled' The Prussian Evangelical l.'lturch, pos- sesses the external order, polish, and activity, and the internal lifclogsiiess, impotence, and inflexi- bility, of a steam-engir c. Perhaps I speak too unguardedly and ignurantly concerning the Prus- sian Church, l>ut I have been impressed, even in the course of a brief observation, ol the utter ft- talness of tiovernment interference in matters ol Religion. Even granting that the Prussian mon- arch entertains more truly evangelical views than the majority of his subjects, he has obtained no- thing in forcing these views upon them, hut their hatred, tin ir maledictions, and the extinguish- ment of all right religions sentiment. Religion cannot he made into a police system, or ceantpelleel to move with the precision of a regiment of in- fantry. W'[.. nit is left al me, it flourishes like a wild flower; hut when it is put under a glass case, it dies. The o'.l world has yet to burn from America, i t religion, what she is even now learning in jurisprudence, in commerce, and in politics. 1 would, however. I.y no means altn- bute the immorality of Berlin, either wholly T mostly, to the state of the eltureh, hut rather to local causes. It is not, in the first place, a rich city, and it is a struggle, even with the best ami the most fortunate classes to acquire and ninn- tain an independent livelihood. Beneath these, is a vast ami swarming mass of pauperism and misery; of people who not being able to obtain the requisite rum to pttrrhase the ciliz-ns'ip ol the city, are exposed to all 'he rigor ot the law . without enjoying the ben.tits of its benevolent institutions. If I should say that out of a popu- lation of over 400,(100, there were I 2.000 persons who have no roof to cover them, n<> lire to warm them, in a word, who have no definite lodging, but roam about the streets, sleeping in dark cor- ners, and eating whatever chance, benevolence, or a dishonest opportunity offers them, who can fail to see how broail a field is opened lor the most painful physical and moral ik'gr.i lotion! Yet this is true of the city of Berlin. Wjicn we add to this the lownessof wages, especially for females, being niuch lower than in Paris, nnu comparing with the miserable pittances of Eng- lish shirt-makers tailor worn n, and we avers, heie is an accumulated reason for depravity, an almost irresistible inducement to vice. With the young, where the conscientiot's sentiment i> uninst tid- ed, and the intellect untauj t to reflect and dis- criminate, an easy immorality urms far pr* 1 r- ob> to a groaning and starving viituo. Their choice is soon made. Even the others, not !e-s unreflecting, but not able to win luxury, still grasp at enjoy men'. V\ hen a poor street wan- derer, whether male or female, succeeds, in the course of the day, by carrying wood, by clearing the gutters, by selling faggots, etc., to collect a few he or she spends tin evening and night in a sublerrane. 11 beei-cellar, drinking acrid and intoxicating mixtures, singing rude songs, and inhaling an atmosphere of tobacco smoke, in which the lamps burn dim. 1 his is not halt their misery, and this is ail their happiness. ? But It us Ink at the somewhat superior classes, and their manner of life. Among ihse, where there is more bo lily comfort an I mental rase.it would be hoped that there was more so- cial order, and less moral del.as ment. Vet even here, that gnat source of jure happiness, that chief fosterer of all the virtues, with us, \iz: the domestic principle, the cheerful and sacred idea of HOME, its fireside, and rs innocent pleasures, is hardly know n, and almost wholly unappreciat- ed. It those in more easy circumstances possess homes, they are for their neces-ities, and nol f r their enjoyments; these lie abroad, in pubic places, in coffee-houses, in restaurants, in ball- rooms. Thus, even where there is less necessi- ty (if such an expression in a relative sense might be allowed) to vice, the temptations to it are not materially diminished. It is even worse for the mind to have no h me, than for the body. In tho very best classes of Berlin sri ty, (I do not speak now of the first nobility and royal- ty, for these form a serene peak, far above the init of plebian ambition,) in the families of I'Di- versity professors, of officers in the army, and of educated men of wealth, the most sup* rior t no of intellectual refinement prevails. ISo men are more thoroughly educa'od than Prussians of the higher class, and perhaps no ladies are more eminently accomplished than the ladies of Berlin j Without being pedantic, they are learned, with- out being vain. They are perfectly skilled in a ll those graces and arts which ornament life. They are fine houewivcs, as well as fine ladies. They have little false shame. They are not afraid to employ their hands, and their minds. Compari- sons are odious, and in the present case danger- ous, but to American ladies must he yielded the paltn of that incomparable and indefinable femi- nineness of sentiment and character, to which the females of no other nation, as a mass, can Jay equal claim. In my small observation of Euro- pean society, I have been struck with the promi- nence which Art assumes, as a t'.eme of general conversation. It la- cs the place, perhaps, of Fashion with us. A striking feature of Berlin society is the great number of military men to he met in its best circles. One cannot enter a saloon or drawing-room, without finding a considerable portion of the company glittering in the splen- dors of red-facings and gold-lace. Tins ns ur- cdly adds brilliancy, picturesqueness, and life to society, and Prussian officers are usually men of polished minds, line conversation, and elegant personal appearance. They are for the most part tall, blue-eyed, and light-haired, wi h slim waists, and otherwise slender proportions. Indeed, their figures are oflen so delicate, that I have thought it would corne severely up'n them to help haul a cannon out of a ditch, to rescue a fallen eagle, to scale a perpendicular precipice, or to lead a forlorn hope in the teeth of gim cannon and de- termined bayonets. If there beany foreign in- fluence in Berlin, giving a complexion to society and manners, it is decidedly English. export to Europe. A comparison ol ihe receipts and prices for several years past, will show the inert asing importance of this article. Sent. 1, to May 29, Receipts.

The receipts in 1810 would have been ful y as large, but, ns we rem nkd in our annual statement Ist September, 1810. the free shipment of so bulky an article was checked early in the si ason by high freights in the West, and later by low waters in the Upper Mississippi ami Missouri rivers. The rect ip sin 1840, consequently, did not exceed 30.980 bales; Icawr.g h. hind in the West probably not less th in 16,000 bales of that year's crop to come forward this season. Our re- ceipts tiier fore this year, will nt only include the last crop, which we con safely estimate at 15,000 baits, but to this must be added the 10 000 hales of the previous crop, which will make al- together upwards of 00,000 bales. This large increase, howevi r, cann t influence mati ri ill) prices, and produce a superabundant stock, when it is con*idcrtd that the consumption has increas- ed in a greater degree, and the imports from Rus- sia, the past year, amount to a mere trifle coin- pared to former > ears. The increase of this trade can be seen by the following table?Received in 1841 450 bales. ! 1844 39,062 bales. 194 1.211 44 I 195 4(.,274 44 1943 14,-"73 44 | 194b 30.9-0 44 Estimated receipts for ISI7 6",000 bales.

The crop of Hemp in Kentucky has been c.-ti mated at about l()<z 12,000 tons per annum; and the crop of Missouri and Illinois at 12.000a 15,000 t ns.

Hemp \u25a0 ?ln our annual review of the 2d Sep- tember, 1814, we called attention to the article of Hemp, and after having rioted the rapid increase in the production, which had hern extendid to the rich and productive soil of Mi-snuri and Illi- nois, we took occasion likewise to refer to the de- mand, which hud kept pace with the production. We then ventured a prediction, "that the day was not far distant w hen American Dcw-rutteri Hemp would not only supersede the use ol the Kussian in our own marine, hut successfully compete with it in the markets of Europe." This prediction lias already born verified. In the short space el two yenrs, wc find American Hemp to have al- most entirely superseded llussia Hemp, in the manufacture of sail-duek, ship-cord.ige, &c ; and that the supplies have hardly kept pace with the demand for our own home consumption, and for W EE K I- V c O II ,11 E IJ CIAL JOURNAL. j ly advanced, is perhaps the main ground of the somewhat renewed con tide nee now prevailing.

BERLIN (PRUSSIA)? 1847.

A travcW, in writing for liio Providence Jour-

nal under date of Berlin, March 25, 1847, aa>>:?

The tone of morality in Berlin, not only as

respects outward honesty of conduct, nut in adeeper and more organic sense, is piiialily low.

It lias not yet "<" ,v, ' r d from the aloei-tie alio, k

of 1lie epoch of Krcdcri, 1, the (.rent, antl all In ugh

this city is the head and centre of the new Prus-

sian Evangelical Church, that chinch is 100 much

a creature of llie monarch and the government,to have a deep root ill the affection*, or a dec idedinfluence upon ihe character, eitlu r of the inha-bitants of Berlin, or of Prussia in general. With

the intense inclination ot the Pru-siun theory otgovernme nt, to Bring every thing into a system,into formulas, into organism, into automaticaloperations, Re ligion iisedf, the most spontaneousof all things, has born shaped, and presse d, andmodelled, and organized, till it has lost the linea-ments of nature,and the warmth and elasticity ul

life. Old religions partialities, the cherished cus-toms of the Lutheran, and the simple forms ol

the (Jalvinislic worship, have been di-regardeel,

and a rude hand lias cut litem all away, to form anew, prim,arbitrary, an I unnatural hgure, which

labelled' The Prussian Evangelical l.'lturch, pos-

sesses the external order, polish, and activity, and

the internal lifclogsiiess, impotence, and inflexi-

bility, of a steam-engir c. Perhaps I speak too

unguardedly and ignurantly concerning the Prus-

sian Church, l>ut I have been impressed, even in

the course of a brief observation, ol the utter ft-talness of tiovernment interference in matters olReligion. Even granting that the Prussian mon-

misery; of people who not being able to obtain

the city, are exposed to all 'he rigor ot the law .without enjoying the ben.tits of its benevolentinstitutions. If I should say that out of a popu-

But It us Ink at the somewhat superiorclasses, and their manner of life. Among ihse,where there is more bo lily comfort an I mentalrase.it would be hoped that there was more so-

Vet evenhere, that gnat source of jure happiness, thatchief fosterer of all the virtues, with us, \iz: thedomestic principle, the cheerful and sacred ideaof HOME, its fireside, and rs innocent pleasures,is hardly know n, and almost wholly unappreciat-ed. It those in more easy circumstances possesshomes, they are for their neces-ities, and nol f rtheir enjoyments; these lie abroad, in pubicplaces, in coffee-houses, in restaurants, in ball-rooms. Thus, even where there is less necessi-ty (if such an expression in a relative sense might

be allowed) to vice, the temptations to it are notmaterially diminished. It is even worse for themind to have no h me, than for the body.

In tho very best classes of Berlin sri ty, (I

do not speak now of the first nobility and royal-ty, for these form a serene peak, far above the

init of plebian ambition,) in the families of I'Di-versity professors, of officers in the army, and ofeducated men of wealth, the most sup* rior t noof intellectual refinement prevails. ISo men aremore thoroughly educa'od than Prussians of thehigher class, and perhaps no ladies are moreeminently accomplished than the ladies of Berlin jWithout being pedantic, they are learned, with-out being vain. They are perfectly skilled in allthose graces and arts which ornament life. Theyare fine houewivcs, as well as fine ladies. Theyhave little false shame. They are not afraid to

employ their hands, and their minds. Compari-sons are odious, and in the present case danger-ous, but to American ladies must he yielded thepaltn of that incomparable and indefinable femi-nineness of sentiment and character, to which thefemales of no other nation, as a mass, can Jayequal claim. In my small observation of Euro-pean society, I have been struck with the promi-nence which Art assumes, as a t'.eme of generalconversation. It la- cs the place, perhaps, ofFashion with us. A striking feature of Berlinsociety is the great number of military men to hemet in its best circles. One cannot enter a saloonor drawing-room, without finding a considerableportion of the company glittering in the splen-dors of red-facings and gold-lace. Tins ns ur-cdly adds brilliancy, picturesqueness, and life tosociety, and Prussian officers are usually men ofpolished minds, line conversation, and elegantpersonal appearance. They are for the most parttall, blue-eyed, and light-haired, wi h slim waists,and otherwise slender proportions. Indeed, theirfigures are oflen so delicate, that I have thoughtit would corne severely up'n them to help haula cannon out of a ditch, to rescue a fallen eagle,to scale a perpendicular precipice, or to lead aforlorn hope in the teeth of gim cannon and de-termined bayonets.

would not only supersede the use ol the Kussianin our own marine, hut successfully compete with
