VERY IMPORTANT INVENTION.
It has long been a question among teachers and amateurs
of music, as to the most suitable touch for a Piano Forte.
Some at this time contend for a light touch." while others,
with equal ability, advocate the heavy. This question is
now permanently settled. WISE &. BROTHER have in
vented a contrivance by which the same Inst rument may
be instantly set to any required touch, by the turning a
sinele screw. varying, if necessary 1 three hundred and six-itv-tive
difference's. The advantages of this are evident,
both to teachers and amateurs, as lessons may be practised
on the heavy, and exhibit edlon the lighter tnurh. to suit ex
actly any physical capacity which is agreeable to fact and
progressive lessons. The contrivance is simple, and may
be applied to any common Piano. We invite the mst
critical investigation Patent is about to be taken for the
improvement.

ftauiiUUUK IN KURDPR.
From the Charleston Courier
TheS cenes in Berlin. We have been
favored with the following extracts of a
letter, written by a joung student, a na
tive of Charleston, pursuing his studies in
Berlin, to his father in this city.
It will be seen that the writer was resid
ing in the immediate vicinity of the scene
of blood-shed and violence which took place
in Berlin, and was consequently a personal
observer of the tumult The letter is of a
late date, and gives a particular and clear
account of the whole affair. We can find
room only for the following extracts:
"Berlin, April 1, 1848.
' There has been, ever since the news
of the French Revolution, an inclination
here to follow their example. No open
disturbances took place until the 13th
March.. The next day proclamations were
posted on all the street corners, stating
that after blast? of the trumpet all those
who remained in the streets, would be ar
rested and punched with six month's im
prisonment, or labor. After seven o'clock
the streets were quieter than usual till
about nine o clock; a lietachment oi norse,
followed by one of the Princes on a beau
tiful white horse, passed under our
window at full gallop. Shortly after some
one brought the news that the people had
attacked the soldiers in the Leipsiger-st.,
with stones, sticks, &c, and that a regi
ment of cavalry and several companies of
infantry had been ordered to the spot. A
few minutes after we heard the trampling
of their horses' feet, and looking out the
window saw a thousand mounted lancers
pass before us, making oft, with the point
of their lances gleaming in the moon light
and with the black and white nags with
which every lance was adorned, a strange
and handsome appearance. The people
had raised up all the draw bridges across
the Spree, to prevent the passage of the
troops. At eleven o'clock, as in the even
ing, all was quiet The people were fired
upon by the soldiers, but, I believe, none
were killed. Next day the students held
a meeting, which ended in their determin
ing to arm themselves and take revenge
for the outrages which had been commit
ted; nothing else happened The next tlay
the King granted freedom of the press. It
seems that the people had assembled before
the Palace to thank him for his concessions,
but, unfortunately, their "vivat" was mis
taken for a bos" " by one of the officers,
who ordered his men to charge upon them
and disperse them this was done, and
many were wounded, anil, if I am not mis
taken, some killed! At two o'clock, a
little while afterwards, we saw a great
multitude of people coining over the platz,
many with arms in their hands, w hich they
had obtained by breaking open an arm store
in the house where our friend Hoftinan
lives. When they reached the Jerusalem
st. they cried out for barricade, and in an
instant the horses were cue loose trom a
wagon of wood which was passing by and
upset; they then destroyed the booths which
had been erected for "'the ensuing easter
fair which had just commenced that morn
ing. These were broken to pieces and
thrown into the barricades; by continual
addition it was in an hour's time increased
to tolerable strength. These barricades
were within a stone's throw of our windows
and we could see all their movements;
they next barricaded the, Ober and Nicder-wall-st.,
so that all access to the platz was
shut. Shortly after, a battalion of infantry
took possession of the barricade at the
Oberwalls st. ; they received, however, a
galling fire from behind the. baricadeand
returned it with equal fury. We could see
the balls as thev struck oft" the plaster from
the house opposite ms. 1 was looking out
of the window at a boy about sixteen years
old, who was brandishing his sabre and
defying them toadvance, when a ball struck
him in "the mouth and he fell and died with
out a groan. I saw several others fall be
hind the barricade, but I am confident that
the soldiers lost more, for after an hour's
hard fighting they retired. The fighting
had now commenced in every part of the
city, and you could hear the rattling of
small arms, mixed with the occasional re
port of cannon, in every direction. Nearly
every one at the barricade near us had ob
tained arms by breaking' in an arm store
in our house. Towards i fight the house
tops were all occupied ami the tiles torn
out and carried to convenient places for
hurling them dow n upon the soldiers. The
landlord of an eating house opposite us
made all his waiters go to work tearing
up stones and carrving them up into his
garret, and placed all his tables and other
furniture against the windows to form
shields to shoot from- J '"any places
people were torn from their houses and
cruellv massacred.-and others taken pri
soners". Thev stuck with their bayonets
through every place where a man could
hide himself. The people had sever
al pieces ofcannon and made awful havoc
among the soldiers. There isa society of
citizens here, who meet once a year tor
the purpose of having shooting matches
with rines. They are mostly good shots
and seldom iniss their man. They fought
on the side of the people and killed a great
number. About four o'clock in the morn
ing a regiment of foot ariived and took
possession of all the barricades. This they
however did with difficulty, as stones were
thrown from almost every house. I" the
Jerusalem street boiling pitch was poured
down upon them. It is lucky that the peo
ple who had stood upon the roof of our house
nau icu it, or we migui nave Dcen dragged
out and either murdered or taken prisoners.
The brutality of the soldiers exceeded all
belief; for instance, a tailor boy w as caught
carrying ammunition to the barricades, he
was taken to the Gendarmes Market and
brst his ears were cutoff, then his arm was
broken, and then he was beat on the had
with the butt ot a musket until he died.
At eight o'clock I went out and found the
streets impassable for the barricades, and
every now and then my foot would slip in
blood ; the houses were perfectly riddled,
and in some places large pieces were broken
oft by cannon balls. About elven o'clock, af
ter I had returned home, the sentinels at the
Oberwall-street called to arms, and a few
moments after saw an officer on horseback,
waving his handkerchief and followed by
the people, who were shouting at the top
of their voices; he was bearing orders from
the King for the military to retire. These
orders were received with great joy by the
soldiers, who had not had a whole night's rest
for a week, and had eaten nothing for ' 24
hours. In an hour's time there was not a sol
dier to be seen inBei lin. The King granted
them nearly every thing they asked ; one
of their petitions was the organization of a
citizens guard, and that very afternoon
ten thousand were armed at the Arsenal,
and in every nlace where we used f n
t - -
soldiers, we see armed citizens. In many
parts of the citv the neonle would not true
. j i 1 -
to the King's promisesand refused to take
down the barricades until they saw what
he promised accomplished, and in the
Alexander platz thev continued fiht ins
till two hours after peace was made: but
when they saw the citizens armed took
them all down."
