The longest and finest streets which run into the lime-alley are the Friedrichs Street and the Wilhelms Street.
The Leipziger Street also belongs to the finest, but does not run into this promenade.
The Gens-d'arme Square is distinguished by the French and German churches, at least by their exterior,--by their high domes, columns, and porticoes.

The interiors are small and insignificant.

On this square stands also the royal theatre, a tasteful pile of great beauty, with many pillars, and statues of muses and deities.
I ascended the tower on which the telegraph works, on account of the view over the town and the flat neighbourhood.

A very civil official was polite enough to explain the signs of the telegraph to me, and to permit me to look at the other telegraphs through his telescope.
The Konigstadt, situated on the opposite shore of the Spree, not far from the royal palace, contains nothing remarkable.

Its chief street, the Konigsstrasse, is long, but narrow and dirty.
