Wernorr auguring ill from the fact—fact never theless it is—that the only member of the ABER 'MEN Cabinet who as yet has mentioned the subject of Colonial Reform is Sir WILLIAM NItiLESWORTIL Of our vast tranamarinc empire neither Lord ABER DEEN in the programme of his policy made in the House of Lords, nor Lord Jolts Ressett in the renewal of his profession of Liberal opinions in the City, uttered one word. Equally silent in their addresses to their constituents are Sir James GRAHAM, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, Lord PALMER groN, and Sir CHARLES WOOD. The new Colo nial Secretary, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, cannot of wave, speak ; and what peculiar fitness he has he Colonial Administration of a higher and better character than has of late been gradually alienating the colonies from the mother country, time alone can show. Mr. GLADSTONE, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, will have enough to do in that office; and though of all Ministers who have pre sided over the colonies, Lord Jous RUSSELL gave the most satisfaction, what between tho House of Com mons, which he has to lead, and the Foreign-office, which he now administers, small must be the influence Lord Joilv can exercise over Colonial Reform. In a Cabinet thus composed and situated, the public will naturally look very much to Sir WILLIAM Mol.Eswunru, in his unlaborious office, for security against any continuance of that bureaucratic system of mismanagement,—a part of which, it appears, "HENRY GEORGE, Earl GREY," is abort to justify and defend at length in " 2 vols. Svo." The first subject which Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH will have to see is attended to by his col leagues is the great question of the Canada Clergy Reserves, on which, in opposition, he had moved for papers, just delivered, and given notice of a motion,—with, it is understood, the hearty eoncurrence of Lord Joys RUSSELL. This question is, all things considered, a happy one, whereon to test the Colonial policy of the new Cabinet, for it involves the principle of self-govern ment; and it is that principle, the denial, or frustra tion, or imperfect application of which, lies at the bottom of all Colonial grievances. We have given, and wisely given, to Canada, a constitution as free in all other particulars as our own ; we have given to it a parliamentary system of administration ; we have given to it responsible government ; we have yielded to its just demand the settlement of its own Civil List; we have conceded to it the management and control of its waste lauds; in short, Canada is now governed on all subjects but one by the freely expressed will of its own inhabitants—and that one is exactly the subject on which, of all others, free men will not submit to external dictation—Re ligion, and the maintenance of public worship. On that alone the Imperial Parliament has, un wisely, -interfered and legislated for the people of Canada—his appropriated no less than one-seventh of the waste lands of the upper province to the support of the Churches of England and of Scotland, which are not the Churches of Canada, but merely voluntary religious communities there ; —and by this appropriation, has at once violated the soundest of all constitutional principles, and im pinged on the tenderest of all human feelings. And the question is, whether the ABERDEEN Cabinet will adopt the policy of the RUssELL Administration, and repeal the monstrous statute passed in 1840, or will persevere in the unrighteous determination of the DKRBY Government to defend that act as the last relic of religious intolerance. The facts of the case lie in a nutshelL In 1793, the Quebec Act reserved one-seventh of the waste lands of Canada " for the support and maintenance of a ProleWast Clergy." tinder this description, the Clergy of the English Communion in the pro vince, and the Church of England at home, set up the extravagant claim to have the entire benefit of this reservation ; on the ground that they alone were Protestant Clergy ;" though from the time of the Reformation down to 1840 there is no single statute of the realm in which the Clergy of the Church of England were so described. In giving the re-united province of Canada a Consti tution in 1840, it was deemed advisable to settle this question of the Clergy Reserves, which had always been a great source of discontent; and Lord MEL BOURNE, with that rare good and solid simplicity which distinguished him, contended that the words in the Quebec Act were chosen to embrace every de nomination of orthodox Protestant Christians. The Bishops scanted this just interpretation; claimed the whole for their Church; and Mr. GLADSTONE and the then blatant Conservative Government re-echoed their claim. The Bishop of EXETER induced the House of Lords to take the unusual course of con sulting the Judges, in the hope of getting from them a legal opinion in favour of Church of England monopoly. He was, however, disappointed ; the Judges included the Church of Scotland in the words " Protestant Clergy;" and on this basis the Act of 1840 was passed. After providingfor exist ing incumbencies, it gave two-thirdsof a certain amount of the surplus to the Church of England, and one third to the Church' of Scotland ;—enabling, however, the Governor, with the advice of his Esseutive Coun cil, to apply any residue (of which there has never been any), " for the puposes of public worship and religious instruction in Canada." To this statute there are two objections—the one on the constitutional principle, that it withdraws a question of their internal affairs from the Parliament of the Canadian people; the other on the ecclesiastical principle, that it endows and renders dominant in Canada two religious communities, whilst by a Cana dian statute it is declared and enacted that all religious persuasions are there on a level. The details of the act, nobody, not even Sir JOHN PAKINOTON, defends. On its third reading, Lord JOHN Itrasett expressly said, " that the arrange ment made was not all he could wish, but that it was better than leaving the question unsettled." Subsequently the great bulk of the Canadian Pres byterians haying seceded from the Established March, and adhered to the Free Church of Scot land, the provision of the act in their favour is for all practical purposes inoperative; and the only Church really benefited is again the Church of England. Under these circumstances, session after session the Canadian Parliament have addressed the Crown for the repeal of the imperial statute. Lord GREY advised the QUEEN to promote their desire, and promised to bring in a bill for its repeal, ex pressly laying down the principle see his despatch to Lord ELGIN of the 27th January, 1831 —that the question whether the exist ing arrangement "is to be maintained and al tered, is one so exclusively affecting the people of Canada, that its decision ought not be withdrawn from the Provincial Legislature, to which it properly belongs, to regulate all matters concerning the do mestic interest of the province." With the DERBY Cabinet came a change of policy. They refused to refer any such question as this to the Parliament, to which it legitimately and conclusively belonged. They spoke of" the sacred object of the fund," talked of "accidental majorities," took council of the bigot at home; and all they would do was to "entertain any proposal" for the modification of the Act of 1840, which might be made to them. To this un happy determination Mr. HINCKES, on the part of the Canadian government, replied: I em bound by a sense of duty to her Majesty to express toter confidential advisers that it is with the most serious alarm that I bass read the concluding portion of your de spatch.

TO JOSEPH HOME, Slll,—The tax which is officially designated as the " income and property tax" has received a double title which is illusory and inconsistent. The princi ple of a tax proportional to income is opposed to the principle of a tax proportional to property, and it is not easy to imagine how the two incongruous pried plea can be combined so as to constitute one uniform tax. In the present case, however, no attempt has been made (except in name) at such combination; the word "property" having been improperly intro- duced into the title of the act, and the existin g t ax being levied on and made proportional to income alone, without regard to the value of the property whence the income is derived. On the justice of the present tax opinions and interests are greatly divided, but the question in dispute resolves itself into this—whether the tax which is nuw im- -- ---. Gladstone . • 443 Pereeval Minority for Gladstone 49 HALF FAST FOUR O'CLOCK. G4dlltoße 462 Pereeval Majority for Gladstone 5l PITS O'CLOCI. Close of fourth day's poll. Gladstone 468 ..- Perseval properly called the " income and property tax," ought to be levied on income alone, or on property alone? All those who complain of the injustice of the tax propose_ as a remedy the institution of a pure " property tax." There is probably no principle of taxation of such universal application as this—that every man ought to contribute to the wants of the state iu proportion to the value of his property, or that the sum paid for protection ought to be proportional to the value of the article protected. The truth of this main prin ciple of taxation is so obvious to every understanding, that it has never been impugned. It being established that taxation ought to be proportional to property, the principle would be capable of extension to income if all awes of property yielded the same rate of income, for in that ease, if the rate of tax levied on income were fixed, the rate of tax on prop( rty would also be fixed. But since property, according as it is invested in land, houses, or trade, yields very different rates of income, a fixed rate of tax on income would represent vari able rates of tax on property. For example, if, as is near the truth, capital in land yields 3 per cent. in come, capital in houses 6 per cent. income, and capi tal in trade 12 per cent. income (being the propor tions of I, 2, and 4), a fixed rate of tax on all income without regard to its source would represent variable rates of tax on capital, in land, houses, and trade, in the proportion of the numbers 1,2, and 4 respec tively. That is to say, the effect of a general tax proportional to income is to make the owner of trading capital pay four times as much as he would have to pay on the same amount of capital inve ted in land. If it were detrimental to adopt the principle of a - - property tax in lieu of the existing income tax, little or no additional trouble in asseasing and collecting the tax would he occasioned by the change, for the tax might still be regulated by the income, after making allowance in each of the three classes of pro =for the relation which property or capital to income in that class. For example, since income secured on land or the funds is worth twice as many years' purchase, or represents twice as much capital, as an equal income secured on houses, the rate of tax on the former income must be double the rate of tax on the latter income, in order that the rate of tax on capital in both cases may be the same. Similarly, the rate of tax on income from houses must be double the rate of tax on income from trading u plift'. If the tax on income from land or funds were fixed at one shilling in the pound, the corresponding tax on income from houses would be 6d. in the pound, and the tax on trading income would be 3d. in the pound—the rate of tax on a given amount of property or capital being the same in the three cases. The upholders of the existing inequitable income tax trust chiefly for defence to the fallacious statement that incomes, from whatever source de rived, are all alike, and consist entirely of profits. They do not take notice of the fact, that all incomes, except those arising from land or the government funds, contain a large proportion of capital returned, or reserved, or subject to risk more or less. On re flection, it will be easily seen, that on an average fora period of years, all classes of capital must yield the same rate of profit, although they yield very different rates of income. For if any class of capital were found to yield a greater rate of absolute or secure profit than was yielded by other classes of capital, there would be immediately established a current of capital towards the favoured class, which current would continue until the rate of profit was uniform throughout all classes. It is only when the capital is insecure that the nominal rate of profit or income exceeds the absolute ordinary rate of profit or in terest yielded by well secured capitaL Profit is se condary to the security of capital ; profit does not commence until provision is made for the security of the capital whence it is derived. If the rate of income from any class of property exceeds the rate of profit derived from permanent or per fectly secured property, it may be assumed with cer tainty that such class of property is insecure, and that the measure of its insecurity is the excess of this rate of income over the ordinary rate of interest on well-secured capital. This excess is capital returned or reserved, or for the risk, which must be deducted from income before profit eau be atrived at. If the rent from houses be six per cent. on the ca pital or selling price, whilst the rent from land is three per cent., the rate of profit is not greater in one case than in the other, although the rates of in come are as two to one. The excess of three per cent. from house property is for capital returned, and capital reserved, and for risk (probably in equal pro portions, say 1 per cent. each). The portion of the income representing returned capital forms the fund whence the buildings are kept in repair and rebuilt when worn out, and also for the risk of rents not being paid, &c. The portion of income representing reserved capital forms an assurance fund, to provide against losses from depreciation, defective manage ment, and want of tenants. Property embarked in trade must yield an annual income of 12 per cent. in order to be equally remune rative with property in land yielding an income (which is all profit) of 3 per cent, per annum. The difference, being 9 per cent., is the market rate of as surance of capital embarked in trade. The excess of 9 per cent. received by the trader is the index and measure of the insecurity of his capital. The trader will withdraw his capital if he fails to receive the market rate of insurance of his capital, in addition to the market rate of interest on secured capital. As there are no assurance companies which will guaran tee his capital against the casualties of trade, he is obliged to keep in his own hands the capital so con tained in his income, and reserve it to meet the risk of losses in future years. The degree of risk to which capital embarked in trade is exposed, does not differ materially from the degree of risk to which capital is exposed when em barked in ships. A merchant who risks his capita on the sea is allowed to deduct from his gross profits the sums paid for marine insurance. The same mer chant ought equally to be allowed to deduct from his gross profits the annual premium requisite to inure his capital against other risks of trade which, in the aggregate, are equal to the risks of capital embarked at sea. It will be interesting to compare the effect of an income tax with that of a property tax on the three classes of capitalists into which the British popula tion is divided. For the purpose of comparison, it may be assumed, that professional men belong to the class of trading capitalists (their capital being repre sented by expenses incurred in education and profes sional training), and that their incomes are on an equality with traders incomes, and worth as many years purchase. Let it also be assumed as before, Majority for Gladstone 66 Amongst the supporters of Mr. Gladstone to-day were— The Ven. B. Harrison, M.A., Ch.

THE DECLARATION. The declaration of the poll took place yesterday at 12 o'clock at th 3 Town-hall. After casting up the poll books the following were found to be the correct numbers : Sir Alexander Cockburn l,lOO Hr. Heinle Cochrane and the Mayor, Joseph Lankester, En., pronounced Sir Alexander Cockburn duly cleated. Neither Mr. Cochrane nor an y l of his friends were present at the declaration of the On the election of Sir Alexander that gentleman arose and addressed the electors, thanking them for the distin guished honour they had conferred on him in electing him to parliament by such an overwhelming majority. Sir Alexander also stated that even if it wet° possible that he could be unseated on the petition now pending against him, he was certain that the House of Commons would never suffer Mr. Bailie Cochrane to succeed him, on ac count of the comparatively small number of voters who polled for that gentleman. Mr. Cochrane has issued ea address, congratulating him self and his friends on the large number of votes he ob tained without any effort on his part. DUMFRIES, JAN. 5. Sir William Jardine issued an address 'this morn ing, in which he says he does not intend to oppose Lord Aberdeen, and then proceeds to attack hie ministry on re ligious grounds. Lord Drumlanrig spoke to a large public meeting this afternoon, and cut up his opponent's address with consider able effect. Sir William also addressed a meeting to-day, at which a number of influential gentlemen were present. It transpired at this meeting that Mr. Hope Johnstone, who retired from the representation of the county in 1847, had been asked to stand on the present occasion, but de clined on the ground of his friendship for Lord Aberdeen. It was also stated that the Duke of Buccleuch, when con sulted, bad stated his intention of supporting Lord Aber deen's government. Both parties are now actively en gagekand a keen canvass is going on, but the return of ann I Lord Druml gis regarded as tolerably certain. FEARFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—Loss OF FOUR Lir/Ea.—Early on Monday morning a fearful explosion took place at the Leasing Thorn Colliery, in the neighbour hood of Bishop Auckland, the property of Nicholas Wood, E.g., and partner, by which three men and • boy have loot their lives. From the particulars that have been gathered it would appear that the men were sent into the pit on Sunday night, or early on Monday morning, to make it ready for work, and were ordered to take a lamp, instead of which it is said they took a candle, which was the cause of the explosion. lied it taken place at a later hour in the morning, when the men had all got into the workings, the loss of life would have been fearful. Oa Wednesday morn ing another man loot his life at the Black Boy, the adjoin ing colliery, by the fall of a stone. On Wednesday an inquiry i was opened by the coroner for South Durham into the cause ' of the deaths in Leasing Thorn Colliery. Ample time will be given to the government inopt ctur, M itthi.is Dunn, Esq., to survey the pit. TUE QUEEN V. Du. NEWMAN.—The rule for a new trial in this cikhrated cause will he argued in the en suing term. It quids the last but ...tie in the list of new trials—No. 20 in the cause paper. It is understood that the expenses attendant the proceedings of this affair will amount to about 10,0001. The present Attorney-General is for Dr. Newman. ti t :and can be of what measures will _candies to tisi peace and welfare of the province, her eases severs meat will, I trust, perceive that the les which I apprehend is at lead deserving of the mint grave consideration. I cannot have the slightest iloalbe that the members of her Majesty's government see actuated by She most earnest desire to promote the bast interests of Canada, and that, if they could be brought to believe that I blew given a faithful account of the state of public opinion there, they would be disposed to yield their own wishes for the sake of the peace of the colony. I am quite ready to ae knowledge the high respectability of the petitioners against the repeal of the Clergy Reservis Act. The bishops, clergy, and an influential portion of the laity of the church of England, the clergy and a portion of the laity of the church of Scotland. are doubtless in foresr of the present settle ment, which, indeed, confers on the church of Scotland an income wholly beyond its requirements in Canada ; while the majority of the Presbyterian population neither receive any share of the endowment, nor desire to participate in it. While, however, I admit the respectability of the peti tioners, I think that I am justified in affirming that they do not represent anything like a majority of the population of Canada ; indeed, the vet,. fact that they on all occasions endeavour to accomplish their wishes by appealing, not to their own representatives in parliament, but to the imperial parliament, is conclusive proof that they are themselves conscious that their views are not in accordance with public opinion in Canada. And in September last the newly-elected Parlia ment adopted and confirmed these views, and agreed on another Address, informing her MAJESTY "that Ithe refusal on the part of the Imperial Parliament to comply with the just demand of the representatives of the Canadian people on a matter exclusively affecting their own interests, will be viewed as a vio lation of their constitutional rights, and will lead to deep and wide-spread dissatisfaction among your MAJESTY'S Canadian subjects." Such is the position of the subject as inherited by the ABERDEEN Cabinet ; and though that Ca binet contains a member to whom the details of the Act of 1840 were objectionable, in the thir teen years that have elapsed Mr. GLADSTONE has shown some willingness to learn. He will now either have to adopt the constitutional views of Sir WILLIAM MOLESWOBTH and Lord JOHN RUSSELL on this question, or to separate, at this early stage of their connexion, from his colleagues. For re-settled the Canada Clergy Reserves question must imme diately be; and for their re-settlement there is but one way—that pointed out by Earl GREY. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Moniteur says: Count de Hatsfeldt, Minister of Prussia; M. de Hubner, Minister of Austria ; and M. Rumpff, resident Minister of the Free and Hanse towns, have received theit new letters of credence, aria will shortly be admitted to present them to the Emperor. 'I he convention between Frani' and Belgium con eluded on the 9th inst., is promnlated in the Muni gene. This convention, yon will remember, adjourns the exchange of the ratifications of the literary and commercial treaty of 22nd August last until a new oemosercial treaty shall be negotiated; and it enacts that until then the commercial treaty of 13th Decem ber, 1845, shall be in force, subject to a modification in favour of French salt imported into Belgium. By another decree it is declared that the import duties on coal and unwrought cast iron shall be modified as follows : Front and after the 15th the duty on coal imported by land by a line drawn front the sea up to Halluin, on the Belgian frontier exclu sively, shall be 50c. the 100 kilogrammes; by the river Meuse and the department of the Moselle 10c., and by all other points of the frontier 15c.; and that the duty on unwrought cast iron in pigs weighing 15 kilogrammes or upwards, imported front the adjacent countries by the frontier from Blancmis seron inclusively to Mont Geneve exclusively, shall be 4fr. the 100 kilogrammes, and by all other points 7fr. It having been found in practice that the standing regulations with regard to monies paid into the pub lie creamery are incompatible with the due exercise of the Itreperer!s prerogative of pardon with respect to Sue is upon the press an Imperial decree enacts that the fines to be paid by newspapers condemned tor any offence, within three days after the definitive judgment, shall henceforth be paid into the Casio des Consignations at Paris, or one of its branches in ties country, and shall remain there for three months at the disposal of the treasury ; after which, in the event of there being no appeal in Cessation, and no o, they are to be paid over by the see des idioms to the Beceveur de rEnregistrement. L..:7urlon, whose exploits have made so much immistion in the western world, was some time since well known in fashionable circles in Paris, where he cut a brilliant figure. He is a high-spirited adven turous young man, of about five and thirty. Having damaged his fortune by fast living, he went out to California upon speculation. It is said that he is a natural son of a prince of the house of Bourbon, and that many years since he received a large sum of money for changing a single letter of his name. A letter from Bourbon rArchamboult says: Our ancient chateau, the cradle of the Bourbon freakily, and a fine specimen of feudal architecture, has just been sold. The Viscount des Rays is the purchaser. It is announced that the first court ball of the sea -1 son will be given at the Tuileries on the 12th, and that it will be followed by a succession of fetes in the course of the winter, to which it is intended to in vite a very large number of people. The Emperor will go to bunt at Compiegne on the 15th, but it is expected that he will return to Paris without sleep. iqthere. I ma. Michel Chevalier has frightened the protec tionists by claiming Napoleon I. as a free trader. To • single quotation from a reported converartion at at. Helena, they oppose the whole tenor of his public lib, in which it is certain that little can be found to support M. Chevalier's view. Admitting that the continental blockade was a war measure naiad England, the Emperor had shown no dispositions pre viously to act upon free-trade principles. He male ained many prohibitions for the avowed purpose et protectiog native industry, and although the duties he levied upon many raw materials were lower than those now existing, he habitually relied upon tan& to regulate trade, and it never seemed to occur to him that trade might best regulate itself. He com monly spoke of political economists as ideologues whom he hated, and he suppressed a work by the most enlightened commercial writer of his time, U. Jean Baptiste Say : The Conslittaionnel sad the Biecle have both articles to-day addressed to IL Mi chel Chevalier. The first of those journals repasts some of the protectionist arguments of M. Troploog's report, and is shocked at the presumption which esa venture to contradict so great a senator. The repels !lean organ, representing as it does the opinions of a I very large section of the commercial classes, is ma nifestly not prepared to go very fast is the direction of liberty of commerce. The Biecle declines to enter into the question at pre sent, and merely alludes to it as an excuse to pro test, with somewhat unwonted boldness, against the despotic policy of the government generally. It taunts M. Chevalier with inconsistency in advocating liberty of trade alone, while as a councillor of state he supports the principle of " authority" an now un derstood and acted upon. It argues that liberties all belong to one family, and that those who think it is an attribute of the Emperor's wisdom to regulate the interchange of ideas cannot complain if he alone should regulate the interchange of bales of goods. Free trade triumphed in England. Do you think it would have triumphed in Russia ? If Cobden had been born upon the banks of the Neva instead of those of the Thames, he would usureilly at the present moment have been meditating upon the advantages of his system, amidst the snows of Siberia. To conquer liberty by persuasion you must first of all possess he liberty to persuade. In England it happened one day that a single man initiated an idea. This idea was unknown to the country, despised by power,—no matter. This man said to himself one morning, Thought in a free country is the power of powers. The people who surround me yet deny the emancipation of commerce. Well, with the sacred arm of the free word, I, a single manufacturer, will emerge from the depths of my otocurity, I will teach my cowrie- Sou to the country, and impose it upon power. The prime minister of England repulses my principle. I will fore* him to take it up, he shall apply it himself, and in ap plying it he shall gather the largest sum of glory that ever crowned the forehead of a statesman of the nine teenth century.' And what Cobden said,he accomplished in the face of day. And what was it that enable hint to r oeet this miracle? One thing only, liberty. Liberty of the , press, liberty of association, liberty of meeting together—in a *eel, the whole family, thrice sainted here below, of liberty. Take away from Cobden a single liberty and his reform would have gone with him to the tomb. We will mit now discuss till merits ut this reform. Is this system of free trade, adapted in Eng land, equally applicable to an other countries ? This with as is a MI reed que-tinn, and one that in our journal has tikes been debated with talent and conviction. The Sleds thinks that free trade may perhaps be an ultimate object for Frame, but that the lowering of the tariff should be gradua , , moderate, and in proportion to the prosperity and progress et industry. SWITZERLAND. The local newspapers of the Cantons teem with paragraphs illustrating the earnestness with which the Swiss have entered into the business of providing their country with railroads. The meeting of depu ties of St. Gall and the Orisons passed a resolution declaring the line from Rorschach, through the valley of the Rhine to Char, and from Sargans to Rapperswyl, as well as the branch line to Glarus, worthy of the support of the State, and that the con ''traction of the railroad should be began simul taneously from Rorschach and RapperawyL The town of Solute has taken 100 shares in the central railway. The citizens of Glarus have been convoked in the Volkamote to consider the granting of a con cession in that canton. A line is projected along the left bank of the lake of Zurich. An English com pany has brought out n line from Wyl by Wangi, and Frauenfeld to Schaffhausen, for which the sauc tion of the government of Thurgau has been ob tained. A citizen of Menden, in Freiburg has discovered a new coal field at Emibiene. The Nouvelliate Vaudois says that the federal coun cil has approved of a provisional treaty with France relating to the telegraphic lines. SPAIN. We have received the Madrid journals of the let The Madrid Gazette publishes a royal decree sus rending the adjudication of the railroad from Madrid to Miranda del Ebro, by Valladolid and Burgos. The decree states that the government requires time to prepare the conditions of the contract, and that when the period for the adjudication shall have been fixed, there will be a delay of at least four months allowed, and the (*editions will be published in foreign coun tries in order that persons abroad who may wish to tender may have full time to examine the conditions and form their estimate of the probable results. ITALY. The Venice Gazette of the 3lst ult. publishes mayoral sentences pronounced by court martial for opposition to the military authorities, and the illicit detention of arms. For the former offence one man has been condemned to forty strokes of the bastinado, and another to three months' arrest in irons with bread and water twice a week ; for the latter, two men, who had been found in possession of weapons, stated in the sentence to be unfit for use, have been condemned to two months' arrest in irons. A correspondent of the Debate states that Francisco and Rosa Madiai are in daily exetation of their pardon. The Grand Duke has ordered them to be kindly treated in their prison until their liberation, for which they will be indebted to the active inter ference of the King of Prussia. It would have been more satisfactory to have learned that the unfortunate pair had good grounds for their expectation. The grand-dueal promise is coming to be worth very little indeed. GERMANY. VIENNA, Tlitrasawr. Baron Prokeech Osten is appointed minister pleni potentiary and president of the Germanic confede ration. DENMARK. The Augsburg Gazette states that the Duke d'Ati gustenburg has concluded a treaty with the Danish government for the sale of his estates in the Duchy of Schleswick to the crown of Denmark. lie will receive 350,000 thalers in cash, and 3,00 0 , 000 thalers in bonds.
