The ministry have tendered their resignation, which has been accepted by the King. Ramis and England continue to exercise a pres sure upon Denmark. Both powers represent that Prussia insists upon the abolition of the November constitution, in default of which she will withdraw from the London protocol of 1862, whereby war might ensue. England and Russia have also declared that they would not in such a case amist Denmark. The King wished to obtain the sanction of the Rigsraad to a suspension of the constitution, and to assemble that body for the purpose. The ministers thereupon declared that they could not assume the responsibility of such a step, and would rather accept war even should Europe leave Denmark isolated. Several members of the Right have been asked by the King to form a ministry, but have all de dined. T HE CONSOLIDATED DISCOUNT COMPANY oLhnited`.

At the last monthly meeting of the Manchester Geological Society (Mr. Andrew Knowles, the president, in the chair), Mr. Plant, the curator of the Peel Park Museum, made • communication respecting the three important coal fields recently discovered in one of the southern provinces of Brazil. He had received, he said, the infer• motion from his brother, Mr. Senior Nathaniel Plant, who had been making geological explorations in different carte of the empire sines 1852. Works treating of South America had generally remarked the absence of coal deposits, especially in BraziL A rumour was circulated in 1859 that • gentleman visiting the southern part of that country had observed coal on the surface, sad the report was quoted in an article in the Quarter•!,e Ramiro, and in one of Mr. E. Hull's well•koown works. In 1882 Kr. S. N. Plant proceeded to the district indicated, on the southern border, god which lay partly in Brazil asd partly in the republic adjoining. It embraced the rivers Jaguar*, Ceodiota, and Grande do Sal ; the two latter being tributaries to the former. These streams drained the whole coal-field, end Tan into oar of the coast lakes, by which the Atlantic was entered. It might, therefore, be said that there was a natural carriage way from the Atlantic to the very heart of the coal field. In some places the coal beds were 65 feet thick. To the north of the chief bed there existed two smaller bed., one of which was in the province of Rio Grande do Sal, and was said to be very valuable. The fields were in one line of deposit, and appeared to be oolitic. This was the first instance of coal having been found is Brasil, with its 3,000,000 of square miles. It was • most valuable discovery for the Brazilian government, who annually imported 250,000 tons of coals, at 50s. per ton, from Great Britain. If the government were now wise mough to open the fields, they could be supplied at 18s. par toe, and could also form depots for the supply of all our ocean going steamers to India and Australia, as the fields wens 180 square miles in area—The President : Have you been informed whether it is hard or gas coall—Mr. Plant said the coal generally was am good as that taken from any British mires. It had been tried for steam purposes with admirable success. It did not answer so well for ordinary burning, being bituminous. It bad been tried for gas, except in Rio de Janeiro, and the engineer there report ed that it answered very welL —Mr. JAMS Heywood : Some Eoxlish house in Rio has the monopoly of the gas, and I should think it would be greatly to their interest to set cheap eoal.—Mr. E. Hull said be had always felt that the magnificent country of Brazil must promo coal. There would be no difficulty is getting capitalista to undertake snob ► splendid enterprise. If Mr. Plant would commanni oath his discovery to the Geological Society of Lemke, great public interest would no doubt be awakened.—A vote of thanks was unanimously gives to Hr. Plant for hie oom municatioe, and also foe the photographic views •ed map by which it was illustrated.—ln acknowledging this ocietpli. men t Mr. Plant said the society might rely upon his facts, as they had been taken from the report his brother had presented to the Brazilias government.—The usual vote of thanks to the President terminated the proceedings.

The session of the Rigsraad was closed yesterday by the President of the Council of Ministers, Herr Hall, who delivered the King's speech, in which he protests against the Federal execution in Holstein and Laueuburg, but adds that to prevent for the present the useless effusion of blood the Danish troops have orders to retire before the advance of the German troops, and evacuate Holstein, but to take up their position on the Schleswig side of the Eyder. After reading the speech from the throne Herr Hall declared the session closed ; the assembly then g ave three times three for the Kin g. Neither General Fleury nor Lord Wodehouse has as yet been able to do much in the way of persuading the King to retract the constitution of November, and preparations for war are being actively made on a large scale for this country, in the full expectation of immediate hostilities. Sir A. Paget and M. Dotexac had audiences of his Majesty yesterday, after which a council of ministers was held, at which the King presided. Several more officers have been replaeed by more youthful men i among them are Colonel F. C. von Blucher, who is placed on half-pay, with the rank of major-general • Colonel Staggemeier, hitherto commandant of Aleen ; Colonel W. Hindenburg, Colonel J. C. Lemmich, Colonel W. Rodenburg, Major Baron Wedel-Wedelaborg, and others retire from the army with a pension. On the departure of General Fleury the King conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog, and the Knight's Cross of the same order to Captaia de Ferbere, the general's aide-de camp. The royal government of Holstein has issued the following warning, dated Men, Dec. 16, and signed by Count F. von Moltke : In several German newspapers there is en announcement from Gotha inviting the public to subscribe to a voluntary loan for Schleswiglfolatein, by taking notes issued by the Coburg-Gotha Credit Company at Coburg in sums of 5, 10, and 20 dollars, payable to the bearer. As there cap be no question that the proceeds of this loan, if any, will be made use of for purposes hostile to the government of his Majesty the King. bis Majesty's subjects are hereby warned against taking any part or in. terest io the said loan. The police authorities in this duchy are hweby ordered to keep a vigilaat watch on these notes, if put in circa's tioo, to seine sad confiscate them, and nod in a report to the governmeat. A report is in circulation that Admiral Steen- Bille has resigned his post as Naval Minister. Though the report is repeated by the Dagbladtt, it nevertheless requires confirmation. THE EXECUTION IN HOLSTEIN. (nom on OWN comsrommorr.) HAMBURG, Dzc. 23. This generally peaceable city has put on quite a warlike appearance since Sunday, when the van of the Austrian army corps marched in and has un dertaken the occupation of the city, by which we are secured from the blessing of having the Prince of Augustenburg and his government provisionally within our walls. The Austrian troops arrived at Marburg on Sunday morning in eight separate extra trains by railroad from Magdeburg and Prague, marching across the island of Wilhelms burg on foot, and then carried across the Elbe by the steam-ferry, five hundred at a time. The first part that marched into this city was the 30th regiment of infantry, 2,100 men strong, under the command of Colonel Baron von Avel6. These were followed by the 18th Battalion of Jagers, 1,080 men ; then the 34th Regi ment of Infantry, 2,100 men • a foot battery of 8 guns, a company of 254 men of the engineers, betides train, ammunition, sanitary company, medical staff, &c., the whole under the command of Brigade-Major-General Count von Gontlrecourt, who bas taken up his headquarters at the Waterloo Hotel, his head guardhouse being established at the so-called Milleru Thor, the gate leading out to Altona. Silo; then fresh arrivals of troops have been taking place every day, and to-day the Hanoverian Brigade, under the command of General Gilmer, has crossed the Elbe, and just marched in. They will pass the night here and cuter Holstein to morrow, the Danish soldiers having received orders to retreat before them in a quiet and friendly manner. In the meantime there is no lack of per sons willing to increase the excitement by spreading false and alarming reports. Thus it was report ed last evening that in Altona a revolution had broken out and the Prince of Augustenburg been pro claimed Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. The Austrian bugles and drums immediately sounded, and it was astonishing to see how quickly they turned out and repaired to their respective alarm places. Au officer of the Hamburg police, having first gone out to Altona to see if there was any truth in the report, re turned with the intelligence that everything was perfectly quiet, but that, strange to say, a similar rumour was prevalent in Altona that a revolution bad broken out in Hamburg.

AdclitionaL] LITERATURE. Revolutions in 'lnglis' History. By ROBUST VAUGHAN, D.D. VoL & Longman. 186& This volume, which brings the work on English revolutions to a close, is divided into three books, the 12th treating of ames and Charles 1., the next of the Commonwealth, the Protectorate, and the Republic, and the 14th of the Restoration and the last of our revolutions, in 168& To these is added a supplementary book, which gives a rapid sketch of the national progress from that period to the present. If it was thought desirable to subjoin such an appendix toe work which_ _properly ends with the accession of William and Ham it might, perhaps, have been better to make the sketch more full and complete. It is written too much in the manner of the lecture room, and it therefore weakens the impression of the more solid work to which it is added. The author is a moderate liberal as a politician, and a dissenter, and he has made the last portion of his work the vehicle for the expression of his personal views upon a great variety of subjects —upon art, science, commerce and litera ture, convocation, dissent, social morals, arid the constitution. The earlier portions of the volume fully sustain the author's reputation as a writer of ability, care, and a judging:Mt. 1141,,has...origentlYa a ,s., sr amttichn, affirms, considerable independent res the proper sources of English history. He is, generally speaking, candid in the treatment of as rasters with which be has no sympathy, although perhaps too ready to apologies for the mistakes and failings of those whom he admires. He aims at the originality rather of independent thought than of novelty, and finds, as we might naturally expect, " that the great judgments of history concerning the men and events of past times are not to be ma terially disturbed, except in a few very ram in stances." In this quiet way the author enten his protest against certain late endeavours to rewrite histories in senses contrary to received opinion, but he takes sides strongly with the more liberal modern historians in the defence of men like Raleigh, Eliot, and others, who were the victims of arbitrary power, but whose memory our writers have not always vindicated. Dr. Vaughan has often 000asion to amend liume's judg ments., especially with regard to the Stuart period. In commenting, for example, upon the sneer of that historian upon Eliot's being accounted "a martyr to the liberties of England" because he died while in confinement, the imprisonment having hastened, as the author believes, if it was not the cause of his i l death, Dr. Vaughan remarks : Such is the spirit in whish our history is written, and our peat men are disposed of, by an author who has been allowed to iatlusoes English ideas in regard to English hir tory beyond any other man through nearly a century past. The censure is not undeserved, though it applies more to the expressions of his own opinion on the part of David Hume than to his statements of facts. There is no mistaking what the senti ments were with which he wrote, but the facts which he records were often at va riance with them. He sometimes furnishes ample material for au opinion the oontrary of his own. It is thus curious to remark hew dif ferently the two writers relate the same events. Hume was the apologist of the Stuart kings. Dr. Vaughan sympathises with the patriots and pu ritans who were their opponents. But the historian bad to deal witb the entire series of events ; and as he does this in general with tolerable complete ness, so far as the knowledge of his time extended, he will continue to be read until a better history shall have been composed. The simple lecturer on history selects his own facts, and therefore leaves a one-sided impression. Sensible readers will, for the most pact, decide that the aut:ior is justified in his amendments of the Scot tish writer, but they will feel also that this method of partial writing of history—of writing it with the simple purpose of illustrating certain comments upon it—is extremely liable to become partisan, whichever side it takes. The real subject of this volume is the Great Rebellion—what led to it, and what followed from it ; and the author's design has been to represent the leading events and characters of that period as they appear from what we may call the rebel point of view. He strenuously defends the Independents, assuming everywhere that they were in the right when even he does not say so. Of the Presby terians he has little favourable to say when they stood victorious over the king, but at issue with the growing power of Cromwell's party. Dr. Vaughan thinks better of them before the war than after it. Of Cromwell he takes substantially the same view with Mr. Thomas Carlyle, though he never quotes that author, and only refers to him in a note to the following erect : It is dna to myseU to state that the estimate I have formed of tbe &erecter and career of Cromwell is strictly my own, and was published io substance as mine long before Mr. Carlyle bad written on this subject, and when the notions of that gifted writer concerning the leaden in the Long Parliament and in the English commonwealth were not what they now are. - - - No person would have thought the worse of the author if he had made a more liberal acknowledg ment of an obligation which all future historians must owe to the laborious research of Mr. Carlyle, and to his powerful defence of Cromwell, by the publication of his letters and speeches. The character of the great hero of the Rebellion is pro bably safe by this time, notwithstanding its studious depreciation by David Hume. To this more sober and even admiring judgment of a great, though for a long time a misrepresented, man, Mr. Carlyle has very largely contributed ; but it is a fact sufficiently well know n that the hero never needed apology with the body to which the present author belongs. They welcomed, in the Scottish critic, opinions with regard to the great Protector which had been handed down fur generations from their own Independent ancestors. Dr. Vaughan ex presser these views in the passage to which is appended the note above referred to. When Cromwell spoke, as he sometimes did, of not having sought the position which he filled, he no doubt spoke what was substantially true. Every signal service be had rendered opened the way before him to something higher. The siaccessivin proofs of his transcendent capacity were the steps which, without any effort on his part, mist have rain. d him by degree. to some such place as was at length assigned to him. By every step, moreover, in his spontaneous career, be became more committed to the popular cause, an d mate bound, by the law of self -presenra tioo, to uphold that cause. Such a man, once entered on such a course, could not I.sk back. It would have been eelf-destruotion to have done so. The more he did, the more powerful be needed to become if his advanced ground was to be rah ground. Ambition might have disposed him to look thus higher and higher still • but smart from all selfishness is that form, circumstance s made it imperative that his history should be of that complexioo ; and the in stincts of his nature must have prompted him to adjust himself to those circumstances. No English sovereign has governed England more con stitutionally, none au liberally as Cromwell would have governed it, had the men of his generation been more men of his owe order. In his mind we see the England sot of merely of his own day, but of a day still to come. He was a MAO of his owe age sufficiently to be its leader. But be was sufficiently is advance of hi age to have to bear the penalty commonly awaiting men who become offenders in that form. It was in his heart to have governed justly, humanely, magnaoimonsly. But the men about him were wanting in the large thought, and in the large-heartedoem, without which it was not possible that bin policy should be realised. With the character of Cromwell recovered to some thing like a fair appreciation, and at the same time the principles of the King's opponents set fairly in the line of sober judgment above the vilifications of factious abuse, future history may become free to judge more accurately the policy of the several partite in our great civil war. The philosophic his torian will then, in all probability, find more to censure in the Protector's career than Dr. Vaughan Las been able to discover, and as much to blame in the Independents as be upbraids in their opponents. But there is one striking fact which he does not ap pear to have noticed, that Cromwell's experience of parliaments was in some degree a repetition of [TWOPENCE what had occurred before to the King, that be dealt with them in the same arbitrary manner, and governed at last without them, when be could not bring them under control. How could he have ruled constitutionally, as it is asserted he would gladly have done, while be held his place by the sole right of the sword, and as the chief of • party which was in the minority everywhere throughout the country 1 It is idle to speculate upon what Cromwell would have done had he been born in the purple, or as to the probable excellence of his government if he had not had a distracted and divided nation over which to rule. And it has been already too much the habit of certain authors to describe the events of history as moving on by some fatalist law, irrespective of the human will, as though this or th at was to be, and we have nothing more to say than that we admire or dislike it. History will judge of the rebel Protector as of one who did much to create the chaos which even him self could not afterwards reduce to order, and it will have yet to solve the question as to what were the really defective points in the revolutionary policy of his party among the rest which made possible the long scandal of the Restoration. The best portions of this volume, the most in teresting, and the most carefully written, are the earliest. The author enters into considerable detail in his treatment of the causes which pro duced-thrifty* We, while over to Wes already occupied by the genius and labours /L E I - Macaulay he treads with hastier step. He very properly connects the reign of James I. with that of his son, and shows how much in the character and rule of both monarchs contributed to bring about the revolution in the development of which the execution of Charles I. was but an early inci dent. Whatever may be thought of the political aims and deeds of the reforming parties, there can be in these days no question as to the hopeless struggle of the Stuart Kings against the rising spirit of their time. They contended for rights which had become obsolete, and they fought their battles in a weak, irritating, and treacherous manner, which gave every advantage to their oppo nents. James quarrelled with his parliaments for six years, and then for ten more tried to rule without them, for the parliament of 1614 was ' allowed to do nothing since it would not do what the King required. In 1621 the quarrel was renewed in a graver form than before ; and when a few years afterwards Charles came to the throne, the contort began again, growing more ominous and more full of bitterness as it proceeded. There were four years of constitutional conflict with the new King's Rau mptions of arbitrary prerogative, and then followed the eleven years of the sowing of seeds of bitterness which should spring up when the fitting time had come. At last, in 1640, the Long Par liament began, which Charles was compelled to summon by the pressure of necessities which his weak and reckless government had created. Dr. Vaughan has well pointed out that the extravagant follies of their reigns was the salvation of those English liberties whicb the Stuart Kings laboured to destroy. The first James wasted money upon his favourites and in court amusements. His son made himself dependent upon the parliaments which he hated, by entering into foolish wars. In both these reigns the royal expenditure was made for the most part for purposes with which the nation had no sympathy. Charles H. spent money upon his pleasures. His French pension rendered him for a time independent of parliaments, but this could not continue long, and the country became weary of the arbitrary measures of his later years. ' These prepared the way for the resistance to his brother, as the nation had been led on before to the revolts against his father's rule, by the arbitrary follies of James I. Even so early as in the reign of Elizabeth, the two houses had begun to assert their cobettentleati rigturti a way that boded ill for the peaceful government of her successors, if these rights were to become the subject of serious attack. But James I. was too much of a pedant, and too obstinate in his self-will to perceive how much the times had changed, and how resolved the nation was upon the assertion of its liberties. But the King wee not to be convinced. Resistance to his will was always regarded as factious—as the perpetration of wrong, and of wrong verging upon treason sad impiety. He would gladly have substituted an imperial despotism, based on the civil law, in the place of the system of liberty based on the English constitution. Had he poseresed the power, be was fully satisfied that the right to do so was in separable from his office. At the same time. in the intellec tual sad is the moral character of the King, there wee almost everything that could teed to give to such Fenton sloes the appearanceof a grotesque absurdity. In this reign royalty became an object of con- I tempt with the people, and an offence to their more sober principles. T hey were tried in another manner by the different character of James's suc cessor. Fear and mistrust of royalty became now the prevailing sentiments. Ica nearly all respects Charles proved a true representative of the house of Stuart—arbitrary, obeisant, meiacere, re veagefuL Great indeed was the disomdanee between the spirit of the sovereign and the spirit of the nation he was called upon to govern. On the side of the King we see • limited intellect, of artificial culture. coupled with a cold sad suspicious temper, and with a dreamy and mystical worship of kingly and ptiestly power. On the side of the nation, we sae, is the maiz, fixed prtaciples, the clear bead, and • stout heart, bent upon upholding the estional liberty sad honour. So long as sovereign and subject shall be by sash tendencies, there can be little agreement rt er w:se ld them. Charles was, on the whole, the best of his tawny knows to this country, bat the dangerous elements is his ebsasotee were of • grave description, and not to be eradicated. Both these monarchs had forced into combination the two chief parties which constituted the body of the nation, the patriots and the Puritans. These parties acted together throughout the early portion of the struggle, and indeed were often represented in the rune persons. Dr. Vaughan's estimate of both, at this first period of the conflict, is judicious, and accords probably with what will henceforth be the accepted judgment of all candid historians. The facts mentioned in the following passage have been before stated, but the author has wall de scribed them, and they ought to receive prominent attention. The reader must sot forget that the Puritans naderJamee and Charles were in a position differing considerably from that of the modern nonconformist. They were of the natiocal church, both ministers and laity. There was much in the existing ecclesiastical system which they would have reformed. But their parish church."' were their religious home. They had been baptised within those walls. There they had bees married. There they had buried their dead. There they expected, is their turn, to sleep their own long sleep. Their ministers were all university oleo. Their laity embraced persons of all rank". In that age puritan and orthodox were terms denoting partite who differed from each other is thought sod sympathies, but who were of the same wend status. The fact that Eoglish puritanism em braced mot ally the strong feeling of the middle sod the lower chmes. but much of the intelligence and culture of the climes above them, contributed to make it the power it became is oerhistary. . . . . . . . . Dr. Vaughan is to be congratulated on having brought to a successful close what has plainly been to him a labour of love. His long familiarity with the subjects upon which he has written has rendered the work alike interesting and valuable, t one which the student of history will always consult with advantage, while it may be commended to ordinary readers for its clear representation of facts and for its agreeable style.
