' 1 thassAnsir, Germany, Aug. 1, 18671, William, King •of _Prussia, had a grand reception in what was a little more than a year ago, as it had been for a long time, the capital • Of _the Ddchy of Nassau, but what 'is now, like fdrmerly, free Frankfort, Ham burg, and Hanover, a component part of United Germany. His Majesty is seventy 7 cone -years old, and is a fine specimen of a well-preserved gentle man. 1 Notwithstanding his white hair and whiskers, he. walked with a quick 'military air, and gracefully re sponded to the greetings of the crowd. He was dressed in the uniform of his own guard and 'wore an ordinary field cap, and seemed to be very much at his ease as he walked thro! the beautiful grounds of the Knrsaal or gambling-house of . Wiesbaden.— For here, as. at Baden-Baden, Hom burg,land Ems, the supporting insti tution of the place is a licensed " hell? to use a word which, howev er irreverent, cannot be called inap propriate., it was a strange sight— the lately walks and gardend filled witlwell-dressed people, -gathered to if not to welcome , their con i quero ; and the band' of the Prussian regi l ent quartered, here playing in hono Ad' the royal guest, and a few stepsfdistant the public gambling table; surrounded with men. and wo men, even more eager than those who ffered their tributes upon the guilt altars at Baden-Baden and Homburg. In the evening there was a brilliant ball in the Kursiud, and in ths open apace before that estab lishment such a display of fire-works as yelp can only see in Europe, where the rta,of the courts are specially paid perfect themselves in the wh ence ,of decorations. I wail told by a citiSen that all the expenses of the fele were paid by the gamblers—a fact that deserves credit ' when the hostility of 'the people to the project of annexation to Prussia, and the anxiety of the owners of these great establishmenni toretain the privilege of coining colossal fortunes by so sure process, , are considered. It is as natural that thepeople here should not he anxious to pay" for,costly hon ors to one they still think their op pressor, as that the gamblers should be ready to propitiate a monaa who is reported to be sternly. opposed to their . practices. Over' one htindred and-fifty thousand , dollars were paid to `the Grand Duke of Nassau for the .1 anneal franchise to despoil the visi tors-at Wieshaden, rind this exclu sive of voluntary subscriptions to the various institutions of the locali ty. A large and beautiful theatre, in the very centre, of the town, was built, out of their means for the pub lic use. It Will not be Ito easy matter for the old , King to break up system which his worked itself in to a usage, aid has succeeded in pol luting the whole body ,of _society r captivating the rich by its numerous, inventions for their enjoyment, and seducing the poor by paying their' taxes for imprtant local improve ments.

At Vies-, bedew where . I am now wridng, the attractions are even greater than at Homburg ; for here .there Is . quite a, city apart from. the K.uriasl, with other objects -of interest to the stu dent and traveller. Wirer' you are told that thirty-five, thoiliand persons visit Wiesbaden every year, you will see that many others besides the par ties interested in the gaming-houses Will protest against any c ha nge in what has become an agreelble chro nic habit. That Which pains the American observer is the con trast betvieen the Medi* and what may be styled,the luxurious classes. All around these resorts of the no bility, droves of women are seen at work in the fieldii---yoting women, with old faces . and, hard hands, and old women, bent almost double with toil and burden-bearing. AtiHom burg I saw many of these poti4b4es tures, and some of them looked as rough, and were, I fear, as rude, as the . peasant men. themselves. The _difference between teem and itheir gay European sisters at ti.e gaining- 1 tables was very great indeed ; but it was consoling to think. how both differed ficun the women of.the two extremes of. American society:; a An American lady at a gambling-table would be a sight as revolting 'as an American woman doing the field-work for the men—wheeling manure, un loading cars, following the plortgli, and :carrying loads upon the head and shoulders. Ther's\it of , King William to Wiesbade\ is his first 4 and many doubts • ; entertained how he would s • •:ived by the people, since the fortu% es or last year's war made him their ruler; added their fine territory to ha dominions, and de posed the Dirke of Nassau who con; tines to 'be greatly befoved,,, and who left his qhatean when he heard of the King's' intended visit, and is now quietly . awaiting the close of ,the ceremonies among his feierids in Frankfert. - Although' the king's welcome was not very loud or bois terous, it was quite ' respectful. ' A more significant feeling prevailed at Frankfort, the most' valuable,. yet 'what threatens to become the most troublesome, of his acquisitions. I spent part' of Sunday and Monday in that flourishing city, and founder' almost explosive ' hostility to' the Prussians. i Frankfort has enjoyed a long career of nearly uninterrupted liberty, even in the choice of the early .Emperore ; nrid,from the; time it was recognized- as a free city by the Congress of Vienna, has wielded a large influence in creating the democratic sentiment of Germany. The new monument to the great printer Gutenberg was peculiar ly : interesting, in view of the prevalent feeling that mourned the downfall of the sacred Iranchisea of the city. The central figure. in Gutenberg him self, with the original types n bis left hand. He is supported by Faust and Schleifer. On the frieze are the likenesses of thirteen celebrated prin ters, and in the niches underneath are the four towns , of Mayence, Frankfort. Venice, and Strasburg, in which the great art was first prac ticed. On - four separate pedestals are emblematic figures of Theology, Poetry, Natural,History, and Indus try, and below these are the heiids . of four animals, which serve as r a. 'ter-spouts 'for the fountains, 'retire.' seating the four quarters of the globe and the universal diffusion of ,knewl edge. ° As the ruleof the new PoWer is enforced with as much sternness • against free' - discussion and a free press as' that of its great rival, France, this splendid group might be taken either. as a satire or a re bnke. Hardly less suggestive is the statue ofiGoethe, whose varied gen ius and inspired strains have always been among the *memorials of out- , spoken Germany. Frankfort is a beautiful city, and beautifrillY situ ated. Its .braid streets, hdweier, have not been improved by the mod ern compoSition so ,delightful to man and horse in Paris , and some of the towns of Switzerland. They are II 'rough stone pavementi even to the walls of the houses, with very slight curbing. Tbe Frankfort people con' tend that all enterprise has been ar rested if not crushed by the Pres aians, and that many projected' provements have been abandoned in consequence of the loss of their an cient liberties. I visited the lovely gardens and heard the magnificent music, of the band of the 14th Prue sian Fuelleers, but it was, easy to see that the masses heard the sweet harmonies with unresponsive are. It is a little more than a year ago since they fell -under the sissy of Bing William, and when the , anni versary came • the ladies of Frank fort all appeared in mourning in.re cognition of the gloomy event. The young men of a c..rtain age lii3n3 all been Mustered into the Prussian, army, and three of the. best years of thins lives must be - given to the 'ser vice of a\roler they hate with indis: ambled scorn.

' Bd k the "delicacy of the German qua U. is of itiedfia guarantee against rrussb?.. taking the hostile initiative, and is 'so far, a source of strength to Lodis Napoleon, whose . p,ernsaiientiy can only be (Hen tnrbed by a successful assault from without or a sudden explosion from, 'within; and if the first is made aini-J cult by the difficulties of his rivals, , ha will.have more tune to piein . int• the second. One thing is very clear —Europe cannot 'afford to follow- the , g/Oricnug mon* of th e United . fitates, ad disband her armies. .The course . of the German King in. forbing 'his discontented imputation into the mil itary service is that alternatiVO.,of self-preservation which must biadop ted by all the- browned heads, ,upon one pretext or another ; and, thus it stands—that from Italy on the one, extreme. tiara' Ireland on the Other; tia Bavaria, which fears the ,Prtissian boa constrictor will hunger for new victims the moment he has,absorbed his recent conquests,to Great Britain, which organize her volunteers as a new element of-protection against side radicals and revolutions,.the con dition of Europe is that of an armed and watchful and most expensive peace. The gloomy people must bi fed and flattered to keep- them quiet or, ,they must be led against each oter to promote' , the - atabitief their je.tione rulers. There court in Europe, therefore, that dot(i3 not vibrate between expensiVe oni ihys to promote the lasting safety. 4f the sovereign, in military protections, and expensive outlays promote the temporary enjoyment of the people in such demonstrations as the 1110- _venal Exposition and the recentiiiii of tlle European Sovereigns in Paris royal journeys like, that of King lism,welecmes to the Sultan like ;hit in London, and even the vicious and fascinating' orgies of the Kursaalh themselves. But could anything prove more, clearly the- rottenef the whole system? Whenever etrh Zl hear of an American in Europe -who studies these indications, and ' yet, does not take comfort from the exapf and overwhelming opposite present ed in his own country (and there are Such to , be found), I , can make lowanee for the foreigner who ters himself if the aituatioh 'of Europe is glisomy, that cf the United States is worse. ' The fact is,nothing alarms the enemies of freedom in- Euiope half so much as eiir last Six years' experience in America ; and I have never yet found an exception ,to the 'rule that this example or ex perience is cherished as wdear and undying hope by , every civilized peo ple on earth. Had our experiment failed in the -victory of the rebellion, Human Progress would have been stayed for ages. Our success has given a resistlees impetus 'to every righteous and reforming agency.— 2 Kings may save themselves by die voting their people, but he 'is a shal low observer of the course of events who cannot see that the war in Amer- - ica has familiarized - all the world with liberty, and, that the next genu ine movement of the human race will not be a spasmodic revolution, bitt a sweeping and a thorough change. It may take a long time to consummate the inevitable cense quedce of our own grtat triumph, but as surely as thar\sovereigns must assist in enlightening their fellow-creatures or be ground' into dust between opposing systems; so surely will self-government prevail in the old as it does in the new hem isphere. ,HOREUBLE 'lto FICATION OF ME AIM BY vaiNESE r . _ Chinese are capnble:''of enditring, much for their religion ;is to be seep by.the long and toilsonie pilgrimages undertaken by many, as also: in the -. works of mortification t.l the flesh in which their zeal finds vent instead of in proselytism. .0n one occasion, witnessed in New Wang, 'a temple at .
