Thank God, 1848 showed that tlm revolution has by no means yet fully taken pluce ! The ruling powers feel this, and they are changing their school system to meet the exigencies of the case. The real object of the Prussian common-school sys. tem is to teach the children and impress on their mind* that they must obey the king. Everything ■C made tu tend to this. man these Rurxthen have gone a little farther ; and, in 1830-31, the "father of his people" shut up here and there a lew dozen of (hem for sale keeping; quite ■ number are still undergoing the taming process. Except in these few extreme cases, the quantity of old musty Latin books (for the Christian, enlightened Uer inan, who looks down from his inaccessible height of learning, refinement and culture, through a Herschel telescope to see us poor ignorant Americans, goes back to Pagan, or at all events a very droll sort of a Christian Rome for his law books) which a would be jurist, for instance, must pore over, with all the years at the gymna. sium, and all the years at the University, and all the years of wailing lor advance, ment from listener up to some post which «hall give him $400 a year, and so enable him lo inarrv, if very lucky, say in his ihirtv fitih year—is sufficient lo make a mere machine, routine life, a second na lure. As 1848 showed, despotism has precious little to fear Irom these classes. It is just so with the host ol black coats. The gre-'.t questions are not, what are a man's daily walk .and conversation, but, can he pass examination in Luther and the modern apostles, who teach obedience lo the ruler and what are the man's political sentiments ? Frederick William IV. is the hesrl of ihe church j and woe to the unlucky candidate for a pulpit who does no; subscribe lo the creed given. And so a thousand influences are brought t? bear on such as can find, through money, entrance into the good schools and gymnesia, to make ;ht'm, if not attached to tlie pres. -iDnl system, at least indifferent, or fearful of change. It follows that there can be no danger in civing these classes a good education, (in everything except American history,) while the various provisions made for the assistance of poor and meritorious scholars, artists, devotees ol science, i.nd the like, blind all eyes lo any faults or defects in tho school system of Prussia. If any ot the middle classes, in spite of the influences brought to bear upon them, do indulge in liberal sentiments, or dispute ihe "jure divino" of kings,—why, -in a country where there is no habeas corpus act, and where every person charged with a nrime—und there is no greater one than being republican in sentiment and speech —is supposed auilty uutil he proves himself innocent; and of course must lie in jail, hail not being known nere,— it ia easy enough lo dispose of ihe disaflec'.ed. Ask the jailors all over the kingdom if it is no! so. Ask hundreds of the most respectable Germans in New York it this is not so. Still, it is in these classes, that the despots, thus far, seem to have had the least confidence. They are well taught, lor the world has no belter schools, out of a few cities in our country, than those in which tliey are educated ; and educated men will think, must reason, ask questions, and seek replies. The men who in 1848 demanded that their kings should at length keep tho promises broken lor thirty years, belonged lo these middle classes; und had they found uu Iocs but those above Ihem, they would have triumphed. But untuck ily, below them ia another class, which, in fact- though always and at all times utter ly ignored by- our German friends when they talk of the high, mighty and lifted up state of civilization in Germany, in comparison with poor, ignoraut, uneducated, unariislic, unphilosophical, money making America—forms a majority of the people of any one of those States. These are the dwellers in country villages, the tillers ol the land, and so forth—the peasantry. Between the king and aristocracy, and ihe peasant class—which is, in fact, the great supporter ot monaichy—the liberals were ground as between the upper and nether mill-none.

Ar tkt Pitt*tin Oauitt. BY SAMUEL I. PRIME. A day at Pompeii! A day with,thetdead past, and one to be remembered till the sea and earth give up their dead ! At breakfast table we found it couple of . English gentlemen who kad actually done D Vesuvius, llerculanpum, and Poiiipeii— 1 with much of Naples besides, in a single 1 day—the day before—and were now lea*- • ing the city. They confessed it was 1 " sharp practice," but said it could be don* D for they had tried the experiment. The English are as rapid night-seers as the Yankees ; and I have never heard of any 1 of my countrymen who have done more in a day of that business than these gen-1 tlemen achieved. As we had no intention ol running a race with them, wedetermin ed to take it leisurely. The drive along the shore through the sticets ol Naples is never without its incidents. The people eating their macca— roni, which looks like little snakes drop— Ja ping into their mouths; the women search-3 ing ihe heads of their children ; the don- 3 keys with all sorts of burdens, and led by ' ■ women or old men ; but more than allgfl r the cart with its load ot ten or twenty menM and women, silting and standing, holding! ; upon each other and Ihe cart wherever* 1 they can gel place for a loot, driven at a break neck pace, the entire freight in a gale of laugh, as if they were the happi- I est people in the world, We met a cart i in which a solitary laborer was riding 1 with his load ; 1iU wheel struck the oar. riage in which a man in military dress was riding with a lady, and gave it Mich a blow that the gentleman was thrown out upon the ground. He recovered himself, drew his sword, and rushed after the luckless carter, who took to his heels. 1 tho't we were to have an Italian murder on the spot. But the enraged soldier expended his wrath in beating him with the flat ot his sword, while the poor fellow put Up his lianas and implored mercy, warding on" the blows till the blood streamed from ihe wounds iu his arms. The lady came down from the csrriage and wiped off the dust from her soiled companion who was white with rhge, and appeared to havo suffered from hi* fall and his chase. Our wav wss along the shore to Porticiand Resina, by the side of the beautiful villas, and near to immense heaps of lava that are piled up in the midst ol houses. Wc have always supposed that Pompeii lies below the surface, and we must descend into gloomy streets where the light of day doea not penetrate. Instead of this, it was situated on high ground, and was buried by a shower of ashes and stones that were rained down upon it by the eruptiona of Vesuvius. When the discovery waa made a hundred years ago, the citv was disinterred by removing the superincumbent moss that had crushed the roofs of the buildings, and exposing the atreeU and squares, the temples, and foruma, and baths to the eye of heaven as broadly as the city we have just feft. Only about a fourth part of the town has yet been revealed, and little or no progress has recently been made in the work. We have come to the gate, foe the government guards it with vigilance, and must pay for admission. The doof i» thrown open, and we stand at once in th* " Street ot Tombs." It is a fitting en— tn n ;e to such a city as this, The wheelworn pavement ol huge stones is as firm as if laid yesterday. On each side of us are the monuments of men who had been buried and perhaps forgotten when the city itself was made a tomb. We read the inscriptions in Latin, and copied some of them. One ot them " N. Velasio Grate Vix Anno XII.," t-oarceiy in his twelfth year We entered the house of Dioroede. tn its portico of fourteen columns, was found the skeleton of a soldier who did not fly from his post when the storm came. We went down into the baseme.lt where the family, doubtless took refuge ; for 17 skeletons were discovered there, the moat of them females, as the bracelets and necklaces of gold would indicate. The ashea that settled on them becatie oaked, and we saw impiessions or casts that preaervo the forms, and even the texture of the dresa. One of these was against the wall, in a crouching posture—an image of terror, and a mournful monument the night of woe. i he ampcrae or jars for wine are still standing here, imbedded in the volcanic alluvium, which penetrated even these recesses. As ive came up from these saddening scenes, that imparted a sense of the real to;the place, | felt as if in a dead city oa the morning of the resurrection, for the few travellers like ourselves walk, ing among these desolations, appeared to have suddenly come to lifa in the midst of a mighty sepulchre. Along the melaneholy streets we wander, looking in at the shops where the counters on which business waa done are still standing j here is a bakery, as we learn from the ovens and the troughs in which the corn waa found : here an oil store ; here a tavern. In front of it ia a fountain; and here are the public baths. We enter the courts of one of ihcse houses, for they do not open at once from the street, but are built around an open D-quare.

SHEET-IRON, HARDWARES, HAY CUTTERS, For the poor people of the cities and the peasants of the villages, Ihn kind and pa. ternal regard ol the government is shown in the establishment of schools expressly for them. Here, in Berlin, we have :he "Armen Scliule," "Schools for the poor," in which induction is free. My neighbor has a little girl of eight years • she will not send this child to the "poor" school— that would not be respectable ; so she pays $10 a year that she may attend a public city school of a higher grade. Could she afford to pay a litiie more, then the same child might attend a different public school and be '.aught more. So you see the famous public schools of Prussia, so superior to all others, are Jree to such as can pay, in addition to their taxes ; and that different schools have their dillerent prices—so ilia: the shoemakei's daughter can be excluded from that public school where the "von" sends his. But, certainly, Prussia compels every parent to send his children to school. Yes, if the wood sawyer keeps his children from school to help him earn ihe means of buying the loaf of black biead and pound of hog's fat for butter, "which is often their only mean* of subsistence, the constable comes and carries them off. But no constable troubles the rich man's child. CIMTERN, AND WELL FUMPH, CAIII'BNTEHS? TOULS, tf-C , Cf.C., ekan-ri iirt \v»iiU'', li'ai PrfDliyt»'riiiii mon schools.

Stowe and Horace Mann, and visited with so much pleasure by many of the Americans who come here, are o|Den ; and in them no limits, tliut I know ol, are put to the variety and extent of their studies, beyond those arising fiom the impossiBili'y of studying everything. These schools, then, ore open to about half or two-thirds the population of suc'i a city as Berlin, (putting it very favorably) and posiDibly to a larger propor. ! tion of the inhabitants ol smaller cities— Cologne, Mugd.-burg, Cobleutz, Erlurl, Siettin. and so on. From these come the various ranks of advocates, from the lowest grade of listener (auscuitator) up to judges of supreme courts (speaking after the manner of home)—tho number being like the locusts of ihe Fast ; the lower grade officers of the army, grasshoppers in number ; all sorts of little officials,—comet- cometlike, small affairs in but with an astounding tail of title, and numerous as mosquito* in the western woods ; and teachers, aitists, physicians, priests, and all those classes with whom it would be an immovable stain to blacken their hands with their own shoe brush, or harden them with their own axe—they, in number, are like Modes' flies. These do not go to the common schools. Great numbers of them go to the Universities, and used to be— seldom now !—distinguished for their loud talk about freedom, the rights of man, and the like ; and in these great causes they labored manfully, by wearing outlandish hats, huge, ugly boots, and cultivating, as much as possible, huge beards. In the sacred cause of liberty, what heroio deeds have these people in times past not performed, upon paper, and upon barrels of boer f A few tiroes within the memory of Oh urc ti, Scha.nti.n. Pa To return to our portrait. Our friend toils on. She is not considered a " first class " writer, by the reading community ; lor it has not been said to them, by the despotic princes of literature, that she is one of nature's nobility. No "puff*" have boen hired for her by some wealthy an i judicious well-wisher; and ahe has not required of her employer more than a mere pit. tance for her daily services. But her earthly tasks will soon be ended. Her blue eyes are strangely bright ol late ; and her pale cheek is waxing strangely beautiful, with a bright crimson spot. She is passing away. May the Destroyer be slow in his work, that the teachings of her pure spirit may long be heard in the homes of the many who love her. God will take care of her children ; and, after a life of weariness, she will sleep well. As a poet she will be appreciated when she is dead—and "-Iter children will rise up and call her blessid' on earth; when her songs will be cliaunted in heaven- E. A. VV. II.
