The increase from 1864 to 1807 iwas, on an average, 3i per cent. annually, so !that population at the end of the present ; year may be expected to be 750,000 souls. ;Saxony is the only State in the North German I'Confederation (Prussia, of course, excepted) that poSsesses more inhabitants than Berlin. i Taking the population at about 750,000, and the space covered by the city a52i,511 Prussiaii ‘acres, we find 24 persons to each acre; in , Paris, which contains 30,428 of these acres, beach of them is occupied by 58 persons.

The Itumber of children attending school was i 03,383. i Of 100 males above 16 years of age 44.8 are •Inarried, and 45.4 per cent. of females. If we tOmpare - Vienna - , Parisi - London — and - Berlin V re shall find that for every 1,000 men above 20 leers of age, in Vienna, 476 are married ; in Oerlin 520 ; in Paris, 563, end in London, 661 ; if 1,000 females who have passed their 20th • 'firth-day, in Vienna, 408 are , married; 530 in ,l3erlin'. 31 in London, and 592 in Paris.

' the whole number 37 per cent. are ' work hen clerks or shopkeepers.' Ai3 to religious opinions, there are in Berhn 30,291 Protestants, 40,922 Roman Catholics, 7 ,565 Jews, and 1;223 professors of other forms fr belief. t!

According to the census of 1867 •‘,ler'e were 7,016 strangers, not permanently , ;.isident, in the city; and 4,492 inhabitants of 'eau were temporarily absent.

This result is all the more gratifying that, in the two first named States the strength of the opposing parties was so nearly balanced that neither dared to count certainly on victory. Yet in Ohio, with a State temperance ticket in the field, with local fusion tickets miming in Hamilton and Lucas counties, weakening the Republican strength, I n the face of 50,000 popular majority, against colored suffrage two years ago, and w ith the fifteenth atnellihnent to be acted upon by the new Legislature, constituting a qlear and distinct issue, a victory has been achieved of which Republicans,. not only in that State •but throughout tie., nation, tray well be proud.

They have no right to assume to lead us and direct our political des tinies. We are in advance of them. If we had continued longer to be followers we should still be bound hand and foot to-day. We would modestly suggest to them that they are banking too much upon Southern capital, and are not sufficiently self-reliant. More than that, they are revealing themselves as bung ling intermwtdlers. Their tactics failand ours succeed. Has the sequel to their military co operation and political aid and comfort given them a better right to think for us `than veto think for ourselves? F From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig ( Southern Demo . e nit), Oct. 13.1 t` Whatever may be the verdict of the nation concerning repudiation, certainly this is not the time to press this question, and, in the present state of the public mind„ there is no man living who can be successful for oflice in its advocacy. It is a serious matter to even think of destroying the nation's credit atone fell swoop, especially when all hands are struggling in a slough of national evils, such as now environ us. Mr. Pendleton, whether or not he was .really the advocate of this bold movement, nevertheless bore the taint—the Suspicion of his position was fastened upon bim, and it stuck to him to the last. The attitude of Northern Democracy. since the war has been too dogmatical, arbi trary_.land_unyielding.... It has -assumed -to - too much—more than Wean accomplish. Act ing upon this principle it attempted at the end of the war to guide the Southern Mind and to become the godfather ofSouthern7Dernociacy. Specific directions were given, so plain that a fool could not fail to comprehend them; as to how the :Southern people should do; what principles theTshould adopt in order to secure their rights. Had these dear,allies stuck taus when we were in trouble, and helped us fight , enr battles, their admimitibris and their- uti' sought advice might have been heeded. [From the Deiroit Poet Inepnblican),Oct.ls.) Altogether the. Republican victory in Ohio is a splendid one, and one likely to be produc tive of large results. It settles the irestios probably, of the ratification of the }Meant.); Amendment. It kills off finally the strongest and, most popular . Democratic leader in the West. It rebukes, and probably destroys, re pudiation in the West, and will tend to destroy it everywhere. The result in Pennsylvania has also (Ma Democratic aspirant for the PreSidency.

THE NEW DISTRICT ATTUNE MR.SIIEPPARDWITHDBAIWS GIBBONS IS APPOINTED PJtO. TEM . QUARTER SEssroxs-Trudge Ludlow.--This morning the new period of the term corn meneed, and a new panel of jurors appeared. Before the jurors were called District-At torney t3hoppard was in consultation with the . Judge in regard to withdrawing from the . r . mige — suggwitcd-,--in-th , Mr. ilagert as DistrietAttorney pro tem., 'but Mr. Hagert declining, Mr. Gibbons was sent for. . -1 ;When he appeared Mr. Sheppard rose and addressed the Court. mn.•BILEPt'AnD WITHDRAWS. - - Mr. Sheppard said your Honor pleases: On Saturday last the majority of the judges of this Court, acting upon certain views of the law and of the facts which were expressed in the. opinion, decided that the present incum bent of the office of District Attorney has not been legally and truly elected. There has been a certtorari taken, and I desire to avoid, and not, even to be the occasion of any un seemly discussion as to how far that Writ will operate as a eupersaleas, or as • to whether the, learned gentleman who is my contestant, or myself, is really entitled toadminister the . office in the meantime. Matters of that sort may affect seriously the interests of the Com monwealth and the administration of justice, and might hare a legal bearing upon the-causes to be tried iu this court. Has my wish to do everything in my power to prevent the public business being affected by such entanglements. Besides, it is not agreeable to be discharging official duty - before a tribunal which has de cided that the officer is not entitled to the posi tion. il have therefore come to the conclusion that under these circumstances it is due to the public; due to the court and its business; due, perhaps, to myself, if a personal consideration can he referred to here, that I should not prosecute the pleas of the Common wealth. While the Writ is pending I, there fore. with profound respect for the Court and all its memers : decline any longer to repre sent the Commonwealth while the case is awaiting the judgment of the appellate Court. The act of Assembly provides for such a contingency, and, as we are beginning a new period of this term,with a new jury,the change can be made at this time with less prejudice to the public- interests than upon a future oc casion. JUDGE LUDLOW'S RESPONSE Judge Ludlow said---f_ff course the District Attorney of the county lia.s a perfect right to adopt whatever steps he deems necessary in the present juncture of affairs. I entirely concur with him in the propriety of abstain ing from prosecuting. the pleas of the, Com- Monwealth, under the decision of the major ity of this court, from which it is known I dissented on Saturday last. It is proper for him to abstain from conducting the pleas of the Commonwealth until some disposition is made of the writ •of certiorari; which I understand is no* pending, and upon the records of the • office. I must, however, see to it that the public in terests do not sutler. There is a heavy crimi nal calendar, including a large number of homicide cases and a trial of special impor tance which was fixed for Wednesday of this week (Brooks case). It is therefore my duty, in the absence of the District Attorney of the county, under the-act of Assembly to appoint a District Attorney into tem. • The authority is derived from that act,and from that act alone; and in making this appointment I am governed by considerations which affect the public interests alone. If the gentleman to whom the certificate of election would be awarded is successful before the Supreme Court, he will be called upon to prosecute the pleas of the Commonwealth. If that jutl,r mem should in any way be disturbed, or re versed, the present District Attorney would be compelled to again take charge of the office. It, therefore, scents to me that the course pur sued by the District Attorney is proper, in that by no act of his shall the public in terests be injured; and I am sure that 'by no act of mine will such result be. reached. Seeing that one of these two gentle met be obliged to prosecute the pleas Of the county, there is no other course left forme but to aplioint the gentleman declared elected by the Court District Attorney pro tem. therefore direct the following order to be en tered: And now, October 18th, the District At torney declining further to prosecute the pleas of the Commonwealth, Charles Gibbons is ap pointed by the Court District Attorney pro ADDRESS DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHARLES OM= Mr. Gibbons, in reply, said : May it please your Hbnor—The determination of my friend, Mr. Sheppard, has been quite unexpected to myself. and I sincerely regret that he has felt it to be his duty to retire from his present position at this time. I had hoped he would have remained in his office until he had prose cuted some of the important causes which he has had in charge ' and that the Court and the community would have had the advantage of his professional industry and skill in these cases. So far as Mr. Sheppard and my self are concerned, I am sure that neither of us have regarded the recent contest as a per sonal matter. I know that I have not; but under the decision of the Court, and under the appointment just made by your Honor, nothing remains for me but to accept that ap- pointment. Your Honor may readily per ceive, however, that it would be impos sible for me to proceed. this morn ing with the trial at the causes that were fixed for this day. I am entirely unfamiliar with the evidence to be presented to the court .and jury in any of them: I shall; therefore, be obliged to ask your Honor for the indul gence of a day or two until I can make proper arrangements for conducting the business of the court under the appointment just made, I will ask you to give me until Wednesday or Thursday, whichever is most convenient. Judge Ludlow—Here is a ,case which will - require your attendanCei - on ANATednesday, and perhaps it would be better to adjourn the Court until that dity. Mr. Gibbons—That Will be agreeable to me. Tho.oath of office was then administered to Mr. Gibbons, and afterwards he was in con sultation with Mr. Sheppard in regard to the current business. The Court adjourned until Wednesday. drowsiness whioh used to overcome Washington Irving at table must have been a serious interference with his social enjoyment. He would go off so easily that, if conversing with him at the moment, you might go on with the conversation for a while after he had become totally unconscious; as did once Lord Aberdeen in his own house, to the consterna tion, doubtless, of the disciplined diplomats in Mr. Irving's neighborhood. Ills kindly lord ship, however, would not permit the well-be loved Geoffrey to be disturbed, so that he had his nap comfortably out. Sometimes, when he woke, he would take up the conversation around him where it had been broken off by his doze, although meanwhile it might have wandered into a very different subject; which of course would produce rather a comic eflbet, that no one would appreciate better than. him self. —Mrs. Abraham .Linebln is still at Frank fort, Germany, living in great retiviment and in very unpretending quarters. 8 sees but few persons, and those general.V American ladies whom she knew. during Mr. Lincoln's administration.

The said barioS were- cleared completely, and sentinels estab lished at all the street corners. Some indi viduals of the said Republican battalion for tified themselves in the workmen's restaurant of Santa Catalina, hut shortly afterward de- - stilled from their positions and retired to their hmises. Atii.3o the authorities, seeing. the unmis takable evidences of resistance to the edict, ordered the first alarm gun to be fired. On hear ing it great was the terror in all places in the city, especially in the Rainbia, which was full of the curious. All the peaceful citizens rushed to their houses and closed the doors and the shops i n such manner" that by the time the second cannon was tired from the Castle of Monjurch the people in the streets could be counted. The • churches were not opened at all in the afternoon, and the bells aid not ring. ' It is stated that at 8.30 on Saturday night commission of the Ayuntamiento presented themselves to the Captain-General, asking an extension of time for the delivery of the arms of those who bad fortified themselves iu the suburb. Sella Gaminde conceded it for the unprorogable space of live-quarters of au hour: are ignorant .of the motives from Which the barricades were nut abandoned,but, as our reinfers already know, the order for the attack was given at 9.30 in the Calle del Car men, which, the same as all the others occu pied by the Republicans, was completely oh.: scored; for either the lamps had not been lit at all, or they had been extinguished. The first barneade attacked was of paving stones ' in front of the Minimas at the corner Of the Calle de los Angeles. A discharge an swered the shots which its occupants directed to the troops, and it was carried by the bayo net. As the ,roots advanced, the resistance bec:une greater, It being necessary to employ artillery in the Calle de Poniente, which was found almost impassable, because at all the erussings of - the streets opening into it there was a barricade. While the troops in the Calle del Carmen advanced to the Capucainas,those of the Calie de - Ronda - attacked - the - Calle - de - Poniente in such a manner that the marks of the halls are still to be seen in the facade of the house in the Calle del Carmen, in rront of the Calle Poniente. The troops in the part of qap Pablo attacked the streets Hobado and Caderri: Through the first they arrived up to the Calle del Hospital, hut in the second they encountered great re sistance. There were some casualties on both sides. The troops of the Calle de Bobador got up to the passage of Bernadine, and at tacked the great barricade in front of the Church of the Carmelites, corner of Calle de is Iticra Baja. la the first attack the troops had to retire through the lively fire of nits de fciolcrs. for they had been jelsed by• those who had been dislodged from the ether barri cade. with the intention of preventing the u bin_ of the Convent of Capuchinas, where was tienucleti of the insurrection, 'I he commander of the attacking party then enter , d the artillery toabe placed in front, of the barricade, and it was nut long in opening a Way for the soldiers, who took the barricade and tl.ca penetrated through the Calle de In Riera Baja, while those who had attacked the harrictd, s of the Callus tiadurni, San Gero pima, and Cadena, debottehed thrOugh the latter to the Calle del _Hospital. The moon had then risen. They lirected .themselves to the Capu elihnis. Meanwhile, the troops who had taken the other barricades caine through. the Patro flora Alta and Unites del Carmen and Ponieute. To the rebels ensconced in the ex: convent there was no recourse but to surren der at discretion, which they did. Some of the litpublicans managed to escape by the streets eading to the Gusauche. By two in the moiling the troops dominated all the city, and we heard no more thing. At titybreak the, voice ran through the rest of the Population that the insurrection was completed, and a great number of the curious began to traverse the barrios which had been the theirre of events. There still lay in , the streets tae dead bodies of the Republicans and those of the troops; the 'former were ten or eleven. The troops are said to have had four killed aid five or six wounded.

MIIISEMEAMS. —There is a great deal of dispute among critics upon the question, Which. is the greatest of Mr. Edwin Booth's personations? some inclining to praise his "Iago" above all the' others, some "Shylock " Some "Rich elieu," others, andthe majority, his "Hamlet." We incline to give our verdict with these last. Mr. Booth has ,x physical fitness for that character which is peculiar and remarkable. It is his chief favorite. He has devoted to it more study and elaboration than to any other. His methods of declamation and action fit it more completely, •and he has con formed these to it •so closely that we can catch glimpses of "Hamlet" in almost every one of the other personations. Next to this we are inclined to rank his "Macbeth," which, although an essentially different character,yet by its quick and violent action affords to Mr. Booth an opportunity to use to the best ad vantage those unusual histrionic powers to which, more than to his skill as a reader, he owes his present fame. Here and there, throughout, his performance of "Macbeth" on Sattirday night, we could detect lapses into the manner of his ‘.‘llanilet," which seemed incongruous and offensive ; but generally the personation was in the hi"hest degree ar tistic and satisfactory. His performance immediately before the murder of "Duncan" and in the subsequent interview with his wife; his management of the episode in the banquet hall, and the final combat with "Macduff," where the ruined man, robbed of the courage that he had gained from the witches' prophecy, first shrinks back and refuses to tight, and. then, seized with the fury of desperation, hurls himself at his antagonist—:these are the best thing's in his personation, and we feel them to be the results of that inspiration which is giveaway to a great actor. In all of these scenes there are evidences of consider able improvement upon Mr. Booth's earlier efforts, and we are sure that his riper experience will produce even' bet ter things in • the great future which he is approaching. But there is one bit of stage business which he used to give in the scene after the murder, which always seemed to us excellent, but which is now omitted. While scarcely heeding the words of "Lady 'Macbeth - Mr. Booth formerly gazed in stupe • fled horror upon his blood-stained hands, and 'in a vacant, absent way rubbed them slowly one upon the other, as if to free themfrom the 'blood. The effect of this was to express ex actly the mental condition Of the murderer, and. to intensify the horror of the scene. Nothing has been , wined, but rather a 'great deal has been lost, by discarding this business. It was so impressive that the spectator wouln be likely to remember it forever in connection with the pass,age. It was observable during the performance on Saturday that the audience was very unen thusiastic, very rarely applauding, and then invariably after some violent acti on. The best play went by unappreciated. Audiences seem to like rant and tear and noise, for they al ways commend it, as opera-goers often do the merely boisterous etilirts of , singers. This must be somewhat disheartening to a good ac tor, who cannot possibly- tell whether his finer feats find any appreciation among his hearers. Miss Graleun's "Lady Maebeth" in deed, received more applause than Mr.. Booth's impersonation, although Miss Gra ham did not succeed in the part at all, excel lent as she is generally. . During the present week Mr. Booth will appear as follows : This evening in R ichclieo„- on Tuesday, in The ,Stranger and Don Curer De Bozao ;on Wednesday, Uthtllo ; Tharsday, Daialet.; all Friday, .11crehant of Venice and Don Casar • on Saturday afternoon, Don Great- and The Tavu,u of the ;! , 7iruo, and on Saturday night, Richard HT We venture to hope Mr. Booth will appear once during his engagenieut as "Sir Giles Overr each"—a character in which he excels. —On Saturday afternoon next the Gem:milt Orchestra, under the direction of Messrs.

He NON once traveling on horseback in the interior of Penn sylvania in company with two Methodist preachers. They discussed the points of dif ference in their respective sects, until they ar rived at the inn where they were to. put up for the night. At supper, Walu was seated between the two Methodists, and before them was placed a 'date containing two trout. Each of the circuit-riders placed hiS fork in a, fish and transferred it to his plate, after which , 4,— each shut his eyes and said an audible graccK4,. before meat. The Quaker availed himself ofielf . the opportunity to transfer both of the trouts: to to his own 'late, merely remarking, when the others opened their eyes, "Your , religion teaches me to pray, but mine teaches me both to ?retch, and prciyT Texts of Scripture have often been inscribed -, ^ upon coins.
