IT is important at the present crisis, and indeed essential to any satisfactory solution of the diffi culty, that the demand of the German Powers on Denmark should be looked at broadly in the light of reason and justice, and its real bearing and ob vious issues examined according to the principles of common equity and common sense. Hitherto there has been on all aides an immense amount of prolix and unprofitable discussion as to the precise interpretation of certain phrases in the friendly end informal correspondence which took place between Denmark and Germany twelve years ago. But however these verbal ques tions may be decided, the broad fact remains, that at that period the German Powers regarded the restoration of the Provincial Estates of Sleswig, and the enlargement of their powers, as a complete and satisfactory fulfilment of the royal promise not to incorporate the Duchy with the Kingdom. So far from a common Constitution having been then regarded as any violation or infringement of this pledge, it is notorious that in the very docu ment containing this engagement with regard to Sleswig, the King pledged himself to promulgate such a Constitution as soon as possible. The Royal Proclamation of January the 28th, 1852, con tained in outline the scheme of a common Con stitution or central legislative organ for the entire monarchy, and this scheme was accepted by the German Powers and the Diet as perfectly legiti mate and satisfactory. They recognised the power of Providing such a Constitution as one of tin essential rights of a sovereign State, and the Diet accepted the proposed scheme, so far as its compe tence extended, as being " in conformity with the "laws and rights of the Confederation." The Danish Government accordingly matured and pro mulgated it, in accordance with the terms cf the Royal promise. This Constitution established • central organ or general legislative assembly for the whole monarchy, bored upon the equal repre sentation of all its parts, according to the rat f population and taxation. No sooner, however, bad this Constitution come into operation than the Diet demanded its abrogation, so far as the German Duchies were concerned, on the ground that all its provisions had not been submitted to the decision of the Provincial Estates. The Danish Government protested against the legality of this demand, and pointed out the im practicability of meeting the requirement on which it was founded. The Estates of Holstein, on being appealed to, confirmed this representation of the Danish Government by de nouncing every scheme of a common constitu tion as incompatible with the definitive rights of the German Duchies. Eventually, under a Crest of Federal execution, the Constitution was with drawn so far as Holstein and Lauenburg were concerned. It still, however, remained in force be yond the limits of Federal territory, being este blished as a constitutional law in Sleswig and Denmark Proper. At this point the Diet inter fered again, demanding that there should be no legislation in common affairs before the Danish Government had come to • decision with regard to the future position of the German Duchies in the monarchy. Under these circnnistences, the only course that remained for the Danish Government was to bestow complete provincial autonomy on Holstein and Lauenburg, and provide for the effective working of the common Constitution in the Danish portions of the monarchy. This latter object is precisely what was secured by the Novem ber Constitution. It seems clear, therefore, that if the comma • Constitution conflicts in any way with the royal promise, this is due not to the action of, the Danish Government, but to the action of the German Powers and the Diet. The Danish Go- vernment having done its utmost to fulfil its en gagements to the letter, appears to have been per sistently thwarted at every step by the paralysing action of the Diet. It is essential that the de mand now made by the German Powers should be looked at broadly in the light of these facts, m order that its real character and bearing may be clearly understood. It is especially incumbent on statesmen who are concerned for the preservation not only of the peace, but of the public rights of Europe as a system of independent States, to look through all superficial pleas and pretexts to the real grounds and actual issues of such a require ment The demand now made by the German Powers denies to Denmark the right of uniting the purely Danish portions of the monarchy in • central representative assembly for legis lation in common affairs, and if successful would inevitably destroy all possibility of united action, or indeed of any legislative action at all, on behalf of common n►tional objects. Now it scarcely need be said that the liberty of securing such united action is for Denmark not only a fun damental right, but a paramount political neces sity, absolutely essential to her existence as an independent State. There are a number of ques tions, such as the administration of the finanoss, the army and navy, the tariffs of the country, the foreign-office, which are of necessity common to the Danish portions of the monarchy, and which in a constitutional country can only, therefore, be pro perly decided by • common legislative assembly. The persistent intervention of the Diet in questions U111ii111111..... 4 THE UMW affecting the German Duchies has piralyeed ail effective constitutional action la shit purely Danish portions of the monarchy for nearly @even years past. Measures of financial reform, including tariff changes designed to stimulate the cionuneros and develop the resources of the country, have keg sines been prepared, and only await the settlement of the dispute with the Diet to be sub mitted to the common Assembly and adopted as law. At length the time for the revised political action of the Danish State appeared to have arrived. The German Duchies being virtually abandoned to the Confederation, it was possible to resume political and legislative action for the Danish portions of the monarchy. At this point the German Powers step in, and demand that the political and legislative paralysis of the last few years shall be made the chronic and permanent condition of the Danish State. Stripped of all diagnies this demand amounts to a claim on the part of the German Powers to break up the Danish monarchy ; and it is hardly surprising, therefore, that the Danes should resolve on mistime, and be prepared to entertain very extreme alternatives before quietly surrendering their territorial in tegrity and political independence. trio Court.

THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. SERIOUS STATE OF THE MONEY MARKET. We have received advioes from Madras dated Dec. 28, and from Calcutta dated Dec. 22.

The oontinus;d denial of a mini- Miy gold rummy, in spite of the provision for it in Mr. Lies Act, and Sir Charles Wood's refusal to allow the Ogee presidency banks facilities for extending the paper comeney all over India, and utilising the treasury balances wording to Lord Owning 's arrangement, have added in tensity to the crisis which would have been considerably billgated by these means. The present difficulty is the enenit sot of speculation but of too sudden prosperity. It b enrreocy and not credit that is wording. While the Lien import trade has been, so far as merchandise is waserned, almost stationary daring the pest few years, the export trade has increased nearly twenty mil lions in value in the one official year ending Nay lest. This is chiefly due to the price of cotton, which has been tripled, and in Nome oases has ries. four fold. So far from paying for Indian, as has been hitherto does in the case of American cotton, in her own mannfactares, England has now to pay in hard cash, the greater portion of which reaches the note, who Meld it or eeavert it into ornaments, and thus practically, ter ever, withdraw it from the circulation of the world. Calcutta bas been drained to help Bombay, and now it is in a worse condition than the sister city.

Government has goal no farther in efforts to ease the market than to &wept payment for its opium in its own securities. The crisis we do not believe to be yet at its wont. Six months bed bills of exchange are umlaute at two shillings and threepeoce per rupee. The Madras Atheneum says : We regret to date that we are under the neceesity of drawing a very gloomy picture of the current pecuniary condition of Madras, and, indeed, of the other two presidencies likewise, through whose mistakes and embarrassments a severe monetary pressure has been brought to bear upon our merchants and trading clams, and lees directly upon every elms of the public. The Madras Bank his been absolutely obliged to suspend its ad venom on government paper, and we may my generally, that accommodation cannot be anywhere obtained, even on the best securities. Matters were make soon& a fort night back, but have sines grown much darker, and worse thiogs yet may happen before effectual aid arrives, as relief can only gradually reach us. Meanwhile business of all kinds his experienced a sad check, and heavy amides have been made by the holders of government paper, in order to suable them to meet their liabilities. In Calcutta the went of money is still man urgently felt. The Calcutta University examinations of can didates for entrance and the " little-go" have been held. The numbers continue to increase every year. No less than 1,307 went up for the en trance and 272 for the first examination in arts. Of the former 43 were Mahomedana and 75 Christians, and of the latter 5 were 16Laho medans and 7 Christians, the rest being Hin doos. Of the former 59 were examined in Latin, 20 in Banacrit, 7 in Persian, 114 in Urdu, 6 Hindse, 12 in Oorya, and the rest in Bengali ; of the latter, 6 were examined in Latin, 7 in &merit, 1 in Persian, 13 in Urdu, and the rest in Banta The results will be declared at the end of t h e month. There will be 60 candidates for the degree of Bachelor of ./..rts and 6 for that of Master of Arts. The number of candidates for entranoe has steadily risen from 244 in the first examination, in 1857, to 1,307. The increase in the "little-go" candidates is from 183, in 1861, to 272; and in the B.A. examination, from 13, in 1858, to 60.

The Overhand China Mail (Hong Kong, Dee. 15) *aliments upon the dismissal from the Chinese service of Mr. H. N. Lay, who, for several years back, has filled the post of Inspector-General of Customs : The muse of this dinnimal (says the Mina Mail) L understood to be that Mr. Lay's demands upon tM Chinese government were not only preposterous themselves, bat somewhat arropatly urged. Ou this head, however, we have no particulars, but must refer inquirers to the des patches sent to her Majesty's government by Oeptain Osborn a fortnight ago. Mr. Lay's &mimed is not regretted, either by the customs employes, or by the foreign mercaatale community of China. His StICONNOT, Mr. R. esters adios with t►e general good wishes and of the whole aseresetile body. We shall not kimoeforth hear of say gourds between the merchant' and the customs. The germ of this affair has been the paadron which arrived in Chins some time age under the command of Captain Shined (Moro. The come which Captain Osborn should probably have pursued, was to bees reported himself, as his arrival at the Tweeze river, to the Ooveraor•Osawal of the Two Kiang, and to have given him delivery of the fleet. Mr. Lay, however is reported to have demanded the' direct recognition by Prises Kong of Captais Osborn, and to have declined delivering over the vessels to any local provincial officer. Teen liwo.fan, to whom the Chinese government desired the vessels to be given, is ► man of great note, and rules over not less than 20,000,000 of people, besides penman( most extensive influence in the Chinese empire. Yr. Ley, of all men, was to have been expected to bare avoided the mistake of ignoring this mandarin ; and people here are surprised that he should have persevered throughout in the name course of action. We have nothing to add to what we stated a fortnight ago. The Rest is 'till reported as being about to sail for England ; and the whole affair premiss. to he one of the most disgraceful matters with which the British name has ever been mixed up. Hang-Chow, it was thought, would moon fall, and, failing other means, " the imperialists will be able to starve the rebels out of Nanking. Between surrender and death, the Soochow army will, no doubt, cease to exist." With regard to Major Gordon and the rebels, we have to report that Soochow has fallen. Gordon attacked the city, at 8 a.m., on the sth of Decem ber, and entered the place on the same morning. Dissension had broken out amongst the rebels, and a party of them, desirous of surrendering the city, cut the Mo Wang's head of." Rumour says that 30,000 wanted to surrender, and that 2,000 had remained true to the cause ; and, moreover, that of the latter number some still hold out in the different parts of the city.

"The British foroes in Japan," says the China Mail, "ue evidently waiting for support, and are not likely to with draw from the country until something has been done much more decisive than the affair at Ka gosima." RUSSIA. The Nord of to-day says :—" Our correspondent at St. Petersburg informs us that at last a decisive step has been taken in judicial reform. The new organisation is submitted to the consideration of the Council of the Empire. There is every reason to hope that in a few months will be accomplished that reform which is so impatiently expected, and of which our correspondent thus describes the im mediate reignite The arbitrary executive will be at an end ; no one can be deprived of liberty, nor condemned to any punishment whatsoever, with out a verdict or a legal decree.'

GERMANY AND DENMARK. The following letter, dated from the Rider, gives the German reasons for pushiog ou military mea sures against Denmark : "The military commanders here make no secret that, from purely military reasons, they object to the Danish demand for six weeks' delay. To grant it would be to put off hostilities till the middle of March, when the frost would be over, and the Danes could make use of the fleet. Besides, the Danes, if resolved to resist, might greatly strengthen them selves and their defence by that time. The Bigaraad has on several occasions been called together in a few days ; and no one can tell why it was dis missed. The A.nstro-Prusaian commanders made their demand on the 19th, and have adjourned hostilities till the Ist of February. That gives ten or eleven full days, quite enough, they allege, at least for calling the Rigsraad, and making a com promise." Tax Arrsair A. --Surawroas, Dec. 22, 1863.

Prince Napo leon and the Princess Clotbilde were in the seats reserved for the imperial family. Among the senators present was Marshal Forey, the late com mander-in-chief of the expedition which K Thiers was about to criticise. The first ilawyer of France, Procureur-Glenecal Dupin, sat by the aide of Marshal Forty. M. Thiers, of whose speech I can on this occa sion give but a very short and imperfect outline, began by saying that he would not discuss this or that amendment, but treat of the question of Mexico generally. Having a great deal to say on this im portant subject he had been anxious to speak early in the debate lest at a later moment the attention of the chamber should be exhausted. He was not without hope that after hearing him they would forgive him for having thus pressed himself upon their notice. As to the different amendments of which they had the choice, he would prefer that one which might bethought to lay the truth at the foot of the throne in the most deferential and respectful way. If they had only to pass judgment upon facts gone by, he would be very happy to imitate the conduct of those merchant. who write off unlucky affairs to profit and loss in order that they might think no more about them. But merchants only acted thus with regard to affairs which involved no further sacrifices. Un fortunately this could not be said of Mexico. They bad heard that the expedition mat twelve millions of franca per month, and months rolled away very rapidly. They were operating in a country 3,000 leagues off, and which required a voyage of fifteen days to reach. They had in that country 40,000 soldiers and 8,000 sailors ; and what was the object of th►t great and costly force? They were informed that in a very few days the prince destined to reign over Mexico would pass through Paris to embark for Vera Cruz. They had therefore undertaken this distant ex pedition for the purpose of founding a great empire in the new world. He had, perhaps, been brought up in narrow ideas, but he must confess that such an enterprise in the present state of the world, and without any useful purpose, that he could see, utterly confounded his reason. After a passing observation engaging the chamber to imitate the example of England, which patiently suffers every subject whatever to be discussed, he said he pm, posed to inquire by what series of ideas France had been led from the first act of protection of its citi- sans established in Mexico, to that most considerable enterprise of founding a monarchy in that country.

Was there any reason able hope of success; and if perchanoe they did succeed, what good would they get by it t M. Thiers then described the great difference between North and South America in respect of relations with Europe. In the north Europe found an immense trade, and, in general, perfect security, though of late, owing to the civil war and demo cratic roughness, there might have been some slight ground for complaint. But in South America, with the exception of the Brazils, there was nothing but anarchy. When the southern popula tions of America separated from the European countries which had colonised them and held them in subjection, they, like the North, proclaimed republican government. But the inhabitants of South America were turbulent and idle, and their republics did not succeed. Thew states were always in difficulties, ever borrowing and never paying. In consequence of continual agitation, the towns, the villages, and highways were insecure. Robbery was frequent and murder not uncommon. The police was good for nothing, and justice weak. The custom with these states when they broke treaties had been hitherto to follow the English system, viz., to punish them severely when they could be got at by sea, but otherwise to wink a good deal at their delinquencies. It might perhaps be said that such a mode of dealing with them was not very haughty, but national honour itself must brook a check in the face of physical impos sibilities. As illustrations of his meaning M. Thiers cited the case of some Riff outrages which Prussia A DREADFUL SUICIDE. -•---. 124QUINT.—(Turs DAY.)

Well, French ships bad gone to Buenos Ayres and Monte video and demanded severe repression, but, not being able to obtain it, they put np, by way of 1 satisfaction, with a treaty which was not so advantageous as might have been wished. Later, an insult in Mexico had been punished by a vigor ous coup de main by Admiral Baudin. But as for equitable and discriminating repression in these countries it could only be obtained by a good un derstanding with the governments. M. Thies then explained the present situation in Mexico, observing that the country was divided into two grea t parties—the conservatives, called by their adversaries cleriosls and reactionista ; and the liberals, sidled by their adversaries anarchists and revolutionists. In the conservative party there were many great families of the old regime who wished to make Mexico a second Brazils- The Brazils instead going for a republic bad stopped at constitutional monarchy—a word not in favour, but he could not help speaking his own language.
