A Treatise on Meteorological Instruments, explanatory of their Scientific Principles, Method f Construc tion, and Practical Utility. By NsosErri and ZA.raaa. London : Published by the same Firm. The great utility of this volume will be manifest if we ClUMailer how important a thorough know ledge of meteorological instruments must be to those who make the conditions of the atmosphere their study. Them instruments are the weather indi cators upon which the meteorologist must rely in forming those general averages of data from which he deduces the laws of storm 4, vapours, and other aerial phenomena. Row essential such knowledge is in a national point of view may be inferred from the heavy losses suffered annually by our shipping from sudden tempests catching vessels unprepared. If we are to look forward to anything like an ascer tained system of practical rules deduced from the science of meteorology, it will assuredly depend upon the perfection of the instruments employed in that science. Messrs. Nearetti and Zambia have in this little volume made • noble contribution to the general knowledge on the subject. Rising above the mere trading spirit, they here publish the secrets of that eminence which they have ob tained in that department of scientific manufacture. The structure and peculiar properties of their in struments are fully explained both by letter-press and engravings, the right method of using them made known, and a great deal of excellent counsel, founded upon long experience, given to those who use them. To all who study meteorology, whether for their own private satisfaction or for the public advantage, this little neat and cheap volume is indispensable. It forms also a very interesting landmark of the present state of the science, as well as a point of departure for future discoveries and improvements. TERCENTENARY OF THE BIRTH OF SHAKESPEARE.

This must no longer exist. The example of recent years proves the possibility of conciliating what has long appeared irreconcileable. Really fecund progress is the fruit of experience. Its advance will not be hastened by systematic and unjust attacks, but by the intimate union of the government with a majority inspired by ratriotism and unseduced by vain popularity. Let as await from agreement and from time such ameliorations as are possible. Do not let the delusive hope of a chimerical future unceasingly compromise the pre sent good which we have at heart to consolidate together. Let us each remain in our right sphere —you, gentlemen, enlightening and controlling the progress of the government ; I taking the initiative in all that may promote the greatness and pros perity of Prince." PASSAGE OF THE EIDER BY THE AUSTRIAN AND PRUSSIAN ARMIES. COMMENCEMENT OF WAR. The following telegram was forwarded yesterday to the Foreign-office : "intelligence has been received from Hamburg, dated Feb. 1, saying that the Prussian fortes have crossed the Eider into Sleswig, in the direction of Gottorp and Eckenforde. The Austrian forces have entered the Kronenwerk at Rendsburg, and the Danes have retired from it, after a slight skirmish between the outposts." (aura's rziraimui.) RP241)13817R4, F. 1.

The Danes have withdrawn behind the line of the Sorge, after having blown up the bridge over the Sorge and destroyed the railway. Field-Marshal Wrangel and the Crown Prince of Prussia are at a little distance to the north of Rendsburg. Large masses of troops continue to press on north wards. ROYAL RELATIONSHIPS AND FOREIGN POLITICS. Mr. Bright, in his recent speech at Birmingham, referred to the complications in foreign politics which arose from our royal marriages. Without prejudging the question how far the action of our government w.th reference to foreign states is, or can be, influetued by the family ties of the sovereign, we may point out some of those connexions, some of which are less known than others. ATTACK UPON THE KRONENWERK, AND ITS EVACUATION BY THE DANE& REND:WNW, Fru. 1, 7.30 a.m. Two Austrian regiments (the regiments of Hesse and the regiment of the King of the Belgians) have just crossed the railway bridge to attack the Kronenwerk. After a few shots had been exchanged the Danes retreated. No one was wounded. The main body of the troops advanced through the evacuated Kronenwerk. Field• Marshal Wrangel and the Royal Princes have already passed. An engagement is expected to-day. The weather is splendid. The Prince of Wales, u everyone knows, is mar ried to the daighter of the King of Denmark, one of the parties to this German contest. His eldest. sister, the Princess Royal, is married to the Prince Royal of Prams, one of the parties opposed to the King of Denmark. His second sister, the Princess Alice, is married to the Prince Louis of Hesse- Darmstadt, whose mother is a Princess of Prussia, and whose brother is an officer in the Prussian army. . . . . . Time are direct relationships ; but there are others scarcely less so with which the public are not so well acquainted. Prince Frederick of Augustenburg—the Duke of Augustenburg as be is generally called here— although that title properly belongs to his father, is a very close connexion of our royal family, and is much better known to the Court than to the people of these realms. It will be remembered that when the mother of Queen Vic toria mauled his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent she was a widow. She was first married, in the year 1803, to the Prince Erich Charles of Leiniugen, who died 4th July, 1814. By this marriage the Duchess of Kent had que son, born 1804, cud one daughter, born 1807, who were con sequently half brother and half sister of the Queen. the Queen's half-brother, Charles, Prince of Leiningen, died 1836, and was succeeded by his sou, Prince Ernest of Leiningen, nephew of the Queen, who is a captain in the Royal Navy of Great Britain. ENTRY OF THE PRUSSIANS INTO ICKENFORDE. KIEL. 1 , 13. 1. The Prussians entered Eckenforde at noon to day, the Danish troops retiring on their approach. The Danish ships lying off Eckenforde, after ex changing some cannon shots with the Prussians, sailed away. The Prussian and Austrian ministers, on their return from Copenhagen, passed through this city, haring travelled rid Eckenforde. It is said that Duke Frederick of Augustenburg has been proclaimed at Kekenforde and Bettor[. Prince Charles of Prussia goes forward with the army. ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE PRUSSIANS AND THE DANISH SHIPS. ALTONA, FEB. 1, Eructs°. To-day, at noon, an engagement took place between the Prussian artillery and two Danish screw steamers, off Eckenforde. The town was taken by the Prussians. The ships ultimately left the harbour. Count Baudissin, with other landed proprietors and inhabitants, have proclaimed Duke Frederick in Gettorf. The half sister of the Queen, the Princess Anne Feodorovua of Leiningea, married in 1828 Ernest Prince of Hohenlobe-Langenburg. He died in 1860, leaving a widow and five children, the latter nephews and nieces of the Queen. Of these children, the third son, Prince Victor of Holienlobe, who took the name of "Count de Oleichen " on his marriage with a daughter of Admiral Sir George Seymour, is a captain in our Royal Navy. His next sister, the Princess Adelaide Victoria of Hohenlobe (born 1836), married in 1856 "Frede rick Christian Augustus, Prince Hereditary of Sleswig - Holstein - Sonderbourg - Augustenburg," the Pretender to the sovereignty tithe imaginary state of Sleswig-Holstein, who Is by his marriage the Queen's nephew. Besides these relationships of our royal family with the contending parties there are others leas immediate. The King Leopold of Belgium is the Queen's uncle. His eldest son and heir, the Duke de Brabant, is married to an Archduchess of Austria, and his daughter, the Princess Charlotte, is married to the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, brother of the Emperor of Austria, another party to the contest. Besides these oonnexions the Duchess of Cambridge. who was a Princess of Hesse Cassel, is an aunt of the Queen of Denmark, who was also • Princess of Hesse Cassel. THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN OCCUPATION OF SLESWIG. PROTEST OF SWEDEN. VIENNA, Fri. 1. _ _ _ Sweden has protested at Vienna and Berlin against the decision of the two great German power to occupy Slaving. THE AUSTRIAN REICHSRATH. VIENNA, Fm. I. To-day, in the sitting of the Lower House of the Reicherath, the sum of al millions florins was voted for the Austrian proportion of the expenses of Federal execution in Holstein, instead of the 10 millions demanded by the government. The resolution brought forward by the Opposition a short time back was rejected by 103 against 59 votes. This resolution censured tbecoursepursued by the government, and stated that Austria has no interest in Sleswig-Holstein, and that her action should be subordinate to the policy of the Federal Diet.

The blockade runner Isabel has arrived at Ha vannah from Mobile with 480 bales of cotton. The l i tnfeA vi tg44era tro t ; Grey 12s Jacket has been cap-, atitioaL Further diplomatic oorrespondenoe has been laid before Congress. In April last Me. Seward requested Mr. Adams to informillarl Russell that the negotiation of &Confe derate loan brings to an end all concessions made by the Federal government for mitigating the rigour of the blockade in regard to the shipping of cotton or tobacco ; nor will the Federal government respect the •title of any person, whether a citizen of the United States or a subject of a foreign power, to cotton or merchandise, when such title is derived through insurgent authority or agents hostile to the United States. Such proceedings as a negotiation of this loan have °onto to be regarded by the people and the government in America as tending to complicate the relations of both countries in such a manner as to render it difficult, if not impossible, to maintain and preserve friendship between both countries. In July, Mr. Seward, referring to the Alexandra decision, writes Mr. Adams that if British law must be left without amendment, and be construed by the government in accordance with the rulings of the Chief Baron, there will be left for the United States no alternative but to protect themselves and commerce against armed cruisers proceeding from British ports as against the naval officers of the public enemy ; they will also claim and insist upou indemnities for injuries committed by such expeditions. If the Federal naval force is not sufficient for the emergency, the United States must employ a private armed force afforded by the mercantile marine. As the piratical vessels are received in British ports to obtain supplies and land prisoners, can it be an occasion for surprise or complaint that if this condition of things receives the deliberate sanc tion of the British government, the Federal navy will receive instructions to pursue those enemies into the ports which thus, in violation of the law of nations and the obligations of neutrality, become the harbours for pirates 1 The President perceives the risks such a naval conflict will bring to commerce and even the peace of both countries, bnt be is obliged to consider that in the case sup posed the destruction of American commerce will probably amount to a naval war waged by a portion of the British nation against the government and people of America, a war tolerated, though not declared or ►vowed by the British Government. If through the employment of such means of national defence such partial war shall become a general one between both nations, the President thinks the responsibility of that result will not fall on the United States. It is not the President's purpose to resort to the measures of defence re ferred to unless they shall be rendered necessary by the final decision of the British government that it cannot and will not interfere to restrain the hostilities now apprehended. Tuis is not written in a spirit of demonstration, as it is well understood that the British government is the last in the world to yield to vehemence that which cannot be con-' ceded in equity or justice, so on the other band it should be understood that the United States, if they could ever be presumptuous, are sufficiently chastened by civil war to seek peace and friendship with all nations through any ounoession compatible with the interests of the national life and honour. In April last Earl Russell requests Mr. Adams not to repeat complaints about British subjects entering the Confederate service, unless he can prove that all British subjects in the Federal service have been discharged, and orders given not to enlist more. In September Earl Ruswl> t in a letter to Mr. Adams, disclaims all responsibility of the British government in regard to the proceeding! of the Alabama or any other Confederate cruiser, and trusts that Mr. Adams will not again be in structed to put forward claims which the British government cannot admit to be founded on grounds of law or justice.

THE GERMAN INTERVENTION IN HOIATEDT. (nom ocrs OWN azgroznmer.) HAMBURG, JAL 30. Field-Marshal Von Wrangel, commander-in chief of the Prussian and Austrian allied armies, accompanied by Prince Albrecht, junior, of Prussia, and the whole of his staff and numerous suite, loft this city yesterday at an earlyhour for Altoua, from whence they proceeded immediately by special train to Neumanster, where the armies will be concen trated previous to their advance into Slesviig. His Royal Highnesathe Crown Prince of Prowls is expected to arrive here to-morrow morning, lib VOWS for MersheiolfeseasseepreYisesagefielefu, he being for the present attached to the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, with which he will remain, unless circumstances render it needful for him to take the personal command of a reserve division, of which he is appointed general. This division con sists of four new regiments of Prussian Grenadier Guards, who have been mobilised, ani will begin to arrive here to-morrow in sixteen special trains from Berlin. This corps will pass through Ham burg, and be stationed in Holstein, in the imme diate rear of the advanced division of the army, ready to support them in cute of need. Yesterday, two Austrian regiments of infantry, with a park of artillery and baggage train, 4:c., ar rived here by railroad, and after resting for the night, continued their march this morning. This column consisted of 3,600 men. To-morrow the last division of the active army will arrive, and when the Prussian Guards have passed, an Austrian reserve corps of 16,600 men is announced. They will also come by special trains rid Berlin, and peas a night in this city, proceeding the next morning. Among the Austrian regiments that have pealed through was the Regiment No. 27, celled " King of the Belgians," which was so severely cut up at the battle of Solferino, where they lost 800 men. Another of the regiments is No. 14, " Duke of Hesse," that bore the brunt of the day at the bridge of Magenta, and lost 500 of its nu.nber there. • The troops of the allied armies now wear as a mutual mark of recognition a white band round the left arm. That of the officers is made of glazed leather, and that of the privates of white linen. From Copenhagen we learn that the Danish screw frigate Niels Joel has left the Sound to cruize for Prussian and Austrian homeward bound vessels coming up Channel. For this purpose, it is added, her complement of hands is unusually large, so as to be able to furnish prize crews to put on board the vessels they hope to take. The thaw having now continued for ten days, the ice in the Elbe has broken up, and yesterday four screw steamers arrived here foreign. The first that forced her way through the ice was the Cams, from West Hartlepool. THE ENTHUSIASM OF THE DANISH TROOPS. The Dagbiad of the 27th ult. says : - The German papers spread statements that a large portion at oar soldiers murmur at having to fight for a sense "they do not understead." The Holsteiners still assembled node the Danish flag are said to be treated as primers, the Slemigses to be desertiag in large bodies across the Eider. and the Jotienders to be demanding leave to rotors bases ; the Fuses and &eland troops alone am reported to feel sothoseern for the war.

The Turks bland Standard has dates from the city of St. Domingo of Dec. 14, and Puerto Plata of Dec. 26. The capture of Amu% by the Spaniards is confirmed, but the Standard states that although it has cost two months' fighting and many lives, as a possession it is of no great value to the Spaniards. A team of 80 mules laden with ammunition for Santana's army was captured on Dec. 9 by the Do minican& Twelve hundred Spaniards left St. Domingo city Dec. 9 to capture St. Christobel, but were harassed terribly by the Dominican guerillas, and on reaching a defile at the river Jaina were driven back helterskelter to the city, toeing some 200 in killed and wounded. The Dominicans still hold St Christobel, thus preventing all land com munications with places held by the Spaniards. Some 200 Spaniards, 300 tides, 40,000 rounds of car tridge, and a fieldpiece, had been captured by the Dominicans at Gabsooa, Santana's army supply depot. The Spaniards are strengthening the ford &Mims of St. Domingo by two redoubts. San tana is near &again°, and has lately been rein forced by 1,600 am, but tbsre are more than 1110 sick is his camp. lie is unable to move his army forward. His position is critical, and it was feared the Dominicans might indict a fatal blow on him. Two native regiments have been ordered to be formed in St. Domingo, A severe battle took place Dec. 20 at Puerto Plata, in which the Spanish were &tested, with a loss of 150 out of 600 men. The Standard, in a remind of the situation of affairs, says :—" The WOW Spain withdraws from this dishonourable and unprofitable contest the better. The Spaniards are only masters of the ground they stand on, and the distriot through which they fight their way one day is occupied by - the Docninioans the mak The Spaniards will Sod instead of vanquishing Om Domenteaus, they will only acquire a cemetery."
