T II. ERAMBERT, April, 1S!. Agt. 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.

Singular Effecisof Attention. In the Edinburg Journal of Sciences, just published, we find a very interesting paper, by Dr. Hancock, on the motions that re sult merely from mixing a few drops of alcohol with a small vial of laurel oil. To exhibit this singular phenomenon, which seems to bear some analogy with the plane tary orbs, the drops of alcohol should be introduced at different intervals of time. A revolving or circular motion instantly commencesin the oil, carrying the alcoholic globules through. tions and repulsions which will last for many days. The round bodies which seem to move with perfect freedom through the fluid, turn in a small eccentric curve at each extremity of their course, passingeach other rapidly without touching.
