Tuz German Powers persist in the insane course upon which they have entered, and ap pear to be only rendered more obstinate by the remonstrances which have been addressed to them. Prussia—whose policy, even more than the ambi tion of the minor German States, has determined the participation of Austria in a most unjust aggression—takes the lead in the military mea sures by which the common resolution of the two Powers is being carried into effect. The Prussian Field-Marshal WRANGEL, the veteran who tinder the late King suppressed constitutional Government in his own country and governed Berlin by martial law, formally demands the evacuation of Sleswig by the army of its Sovereign ; Prince FREDERICK Cusamits arrays the battle, and the Prince of PRUSSIA has just left Berlin to join the army. It appears that the hopes, slender as they were, that were built on the calmer statesmanship which we expect to find in association with high respon sibilities are to be disappointed. In fact, the King land Crown Prince of Perm/ have entered into this crusade against Denmark in a spirit of fan►ticism which defies all reason, and it is said astonishes even M. BISMARCK. It is understood that the control of the military measures paint Denmark is in the hands of Prussia, the Government of which really determines the extent to which the time for a compliance with German demands shall be curtailed by acts of war. Judging from the conduct of Prussiir, it Must be its desire to outrun all possible action on the part of the Danish Goveioment, and so to preclude any trans action which might take away the pretext for the invasion of Sleawig. The semiofficial journals of Prussia vehemently reiterate that the two Ger man Powers "will not absndon their just demands." But this is not now the question, nor has it been for these ten days. Whether the German demands be just or unjust, the King of DENMARK s ready, so far as in him lies, to concede them for the sake of peace, and to take the veoessati measures for securing the assent of the other Powers of the State to the withdrawal of the Constitution which was established by the joint and common act of the whole. The question for Prussia now, therefore, is not whether it will abandon or enforce its de mands, but whether it will acoept compliance with those demands iss the only manner which the constitutional relations of King CHRISTIAN to his people render possible. The Generals who sur round the King of Pitessis deride the idea of a King being under the necessity of consulting his Parliament as to the maintenance or abrogation of a constitution. It is beneath the dignity of a mo narch to settle such questions otherwise than by his sovereign will. A stroke of the pit 4 s sufficient to establish a constitution, and a stamp with the heel of • military jack-boot enough to annul it. The refusal of King Cnaurrisit to withdraw the Constitution in a violent manner and his offer to convoke the Rigsraad is, therefore, according to them, nothing more than a hypocritical device to gain time. It is very natural that these sentiments should prevail in the mess-rooms at Potsdam. They agree only too well with the history and ex perience of Prussia. But in the eyes of the public of really free countries the course taken by the King of DENMARK WißODly identify him more closely with the liberties of a gallant people. Whatever may be the purposes for which a wise Providence permits the House of HOH/C4ZOLLERN to reign over so much as a village, we all know that the Royal rights of King Custer's,' had their origin in the chef interests of the people of Den mrrk, from which they are inseparable. In refus ing to seize an illegal and arbitrary power even for the sake of appeasing • formidable enemy and saving his country from invasion, the' KING entitles himself to the sympathy of all free citizens. In authorising Marshal WRILWORL to address a summons of evacuation to General Mesa the German Powers have placed the peace of Europe at the mercy of a soldier, and the invasion of Slsswig will probably take place immediately. Whatever the immediate result of this measure, it is one which destroys the confidence of Europe in she fair and equitable character of Prussia, and the disastrous consequerces of that loss may be written deeply before long in the experience of her Princes. We understand that the judgment of the Judi cial Committee of the Privy Council in the eases of Mr. Wilson and Dr. Rowland Williams, will be delivered uu Monday next, Feb. 8.

His Majesty was continuously and enthusiastically cheered. The government has placed a steamer at the dis posal of the Prussian and Austrian ambassadors, by which they left last evening. Owing to the decided refusal of the Danish com mander-in-chief to evacuate Sleawig, intelligence of the outbreak of hostilities is hourly expected.

The French journals contrast the bellicose cha racter of the articles in the Morning Post and other London journals respecting Denmark with the cautiously-pacific tone iu which the subject of Poland has been treated. They intimate, at the same time, in a bantering way, that the more recent demonstration is but sound and fury, and really signifies a similar policy to that observed by us towards Poland. The Inapendanee Beige says that England, in proposing to the German Powers to grant the delay asked for by Denmark, suggested that if those powers would assent, the European cabinets might guarantee the fulfilment of the legitimate demands of Germany, or if Den mark refused to execute them she might be aban doned to her fate. But the Independence thinks that neither Austria, Prussia, nor France will care to accept any such suggestion. "Generally speaking," says the Independence, "no result is expected from the recent proceedings of England, and no one appears to fear that her threats will end in an armed intervention in favour of Denmark. People at Paris persist in believing that France will not let herself be enticed out of that reserve which she has hitherto prudently maintained, and which ebe preserves with the hope that the imperious pressu-e of cir cumstances, rendered more flagrant still by the English cabinet, will bring the latter to the idea of a congress. Thus, then, the agreement of the Powers in that which relates to the remonstrances made at Vienna and Berlin consists only in the simultaneousness of action of the courts ; the form, the sense, and the nature of that action establish a profound divergence of views and interests between each of the three Powers who have united their efforts to suspend the march of the Austro-Prussian army."

(no' orrs owl PARIS, SUVDAT EVRICESG; The France says that the King of Prussia has resolved to command the Prussian army of Sleswig-Holstein in person, and it considers this fact as explaining the reason why the King so obstinately refused to reduce his army when the Chamber called for the reduction. I observe, however, that the rumour of his assuming the command is contradicted by other journals. It was M. E. Picard, and not, an stated by mistake in Renter's telegram, M. Jules Fevre, who was designated by lot to form part of the deputa tion to present the address to the emperor. It is doubtful whether he will go. Ido not think he has a uniform, at least I know that during the six years of the last parliament none of the " five " thought it worth while to provide themselves with the government livery, because they were resolved not to frequent the Tuileries. It would, however, be very reasonable if, since the decrees of Novem ber, they were to take a different view of the matter. M. Theophile Gautier was among the persona arrested the other day, while the students were hooting Count Nieuwerkerke. He was released almost immediately, and indeed, according to most accounts, nobody was kept in custody very long. The count made a speech to the students in the court of the Louvre, said he had not asked to have anybody arrested, regretted the interference of the police, and would take care that those who were is the guardhouse should soon be set at liberty. He exhorted them to be patient of the new regulations, which were not infallible, and might very possibly be reconaidered. M. Auber, the illustrious composer, was seized with a giddiness yesterday and fell down, striking his forehead against a marble cbimneypieoe. Hap pily he sustained no serious injury, and so far re covered from the fit that he was able yesterday to do the honours of a dinner party invited to cele brate his 82nd birthday. M.

The Northern Railway Company announces that it will henceforth provide separate third class car riages for women who may desire such accommoda tion ; hitherto first and second class passengers only have been entitled to the privilege.

In the cellar of a building close to the barracks in Altona, and 01 lately in the occupation of the Danish military authorities, a large quantity of chests and barrels filled with gunpowder, leaden bullets, and but cartridges have just be en disco veiled and conveyed, for the sake of security, to the powder magazine outside the town. Field-Marshal von Wrangel has given official notice to the Federal Commissioners at Altona, and Lieutenant-General von Hake, the commander in-chief of the Federal troops in Holstein, that during the next few days Austrian and Prussian troops will march through Altona. In consequence of this, the Federal Commissioners have re-pub lished an ancient regulation--da...aig so far back as May 9,180 C —concerning the allowance to be made to householders in the case of extra ordinary marches of foreign troops through the duchy, according to which the re muneration is fixed at scbillings per man per day (equal to barely 4d. sterling), a sum by no means adequate to the increased value of everything during the sixty years that have since elapsed. Here at Hamburg the remuneration is a mark currency, or 16 schillings, being nearly four times as much, and even this is not a sufficient in ducement to the householders to come forward and volunteer to take in the marching regiments, whilst those who prefer to quarter them out have to pay as much as a Prussian dollar, or 3a. sterling. A long train of Austrian artillery, with about twenty-four beautifully bright brass rifled guns any a full park of ammunition and baggage waggons, 'arrived here to-day by a special train from Berlin, and immediately proceeded through this city to Altona, en route for Holstein, where the whole of the army corps, both of Prussians and Austrians, is being concentrated at and round Neumiinste; preparatory to their march into Sleawig. Some idea may be formed of the expectations entertained by the Prussians of the Immediate chances of a hostile conflict with the Danes, by the fact that a telegram was received on the 27th by the municipal authorities of Reudsburg from the "Ducal government" at Kiel, giving notice of a re quisition from the Field-Marshal Commander in-Chief of the Prussian army of occupa tion now on its march to Sleswig, to fit up immediately a military hospital for a thousand men. The order is given for the munici pality to furnish the buildings suitable for the pur pose, and fit them up with a thousand bedsteads and the needful furniture, but that the mattresses and bedding will be provided by the Prussian authorities.

In refusing the warrants they had only exercised the discretion which the act gave them. There was another proceeding, viz., by mandamus, for enforcing the payment of the money. All the court had to deride was if the magistrates had a sight to exercise their dis cretion. Mr. Lush, Q.C., with Mr. Poland, supported the role. What the justices called discretion was no other than ca price and a determination not to enforce the provisions of the act, because they thought the act, which referred to extra-parochial places, wu an unjust piece of legis lation. The defendant was the sole owner of the property in the place (having tenants), and was also • barrister and a magistrate. The including this plies in the union the magistrates considersi an unjust proceeding, and therefore they declined to issue their warrant. That was not the discretion which the act contemplated. A judicial functionary could not decline to give effect to the law from any private feeling or opinion against the policy of the law. The Lord Chief Junin said he did not wish in the slightest degree to impugn the doctrine that where a magistrate bad • discretionary power to do a thing, that court would not order him to do it if he exercised his discretion on the merits of the Cie% It was clear on the facts of this case that the magistrates bad not, is point of law, exercised a legal dis cretion. They had gone on the ground that it was unjust to bring this place within the union—or, in other words, that they considered the operation of the law unjust. That was not a matter for their consideration, and therefore the role mist be made absolute, with costs. The other learned judges concurred. Role absolute, with Coats. ATTER TUN BANCO SITTINGS.

Mr. Justine Willee mid that the action was founded upon a charter party, and was brought to recover a sum due for freight for carrying a cargo of coals from this country to Newell, in New Providenos. The defendant pleaded that by the misconduct of the master and crew, the coal was so damaged as to be worth lees than the frenbt when it arrived at the port of discharge. and that the charterer abandoned it to the shipowner. The question raised upon demurrer Inv whether a charterer whom cargo had been so damaged by the misconduct of the crew as to be worth less than the freight, though the cargo still remained in specie, could relieve himself from the payment of freight by abandoning the cargo to the shipowner. The court was of opinion that the plea was without warrant in authority or reason ' • and time would not have been taken for consideration had it not been said that there were certain foreign authorities which the court ought to follow, which warranted the plea. His lordship, after referring to • number of foreign authorities, said that the court bad come to conclusion that there was no sufficient authority for holding the plea to be good.

The Attorney-General contended that all pm sons employrd on railways were public officers whether they were engaged at weekly wages or not, and that, there fore, they came under schedule E. as well as those who were is the receipt of annual &arias. The court was now onsuimordy di opinion that engine-drivers, porters. fcc..

The result was that two boys were bon • but it was not until 1861 that Mr. Barlow petitiowed the Divorce Court for • separation from his wife.

Theo, wishing to live in true domestic felici*.y, he thought he could not do better than engage • tutor fur his two boys, and he accordingly engaged Mr. Birch, at a sa lary of 100 f., to take the charge and education of his chil dren. About three weeks after his engagement a vacancy occurred in the chaplaincy of the Slough Union, when Mr. Birch 'eked Mr. Taylor whether he had any objection to he putting up for the appointment. Mr. Taylor said certainly not, providing he did not neglect his duty to his two young pupils. The consequence was that Mr. Birch applied for and received the appointment in question, which he continued to bold during the wh o l e time that he was tutor in Mr. Taylor's employ. The result of this appointment was that in the performance of his clerical duties be very much neglected the care and education of the two boys, so mach so that in July. 1863, Mr. Taylor was compelled to ditmise him. Now, during the whole of the time that Mr. Birch was in his employ he was fully acquainted with the whole el the circumstances in Mr. Taylor's life relating to Mrs. Bar low, and it appeared that he made use of his knowledge upon the first possible occasion he could do so without doing him self ao injury, for it appeared that Mr. Taylor being in went of a tutor to fill the place of Mr. Birch, a Mr. Sharpe applied for the appointment, to whom the de. feadant on) hearing about it sent the following letter, which was addremed to the Rev.

This letter, although disguised. it would be proved, was in the hand writing of defendant. The prosecutor was then examined, and he detailed at length all the circumstances as stated by Mr. Hawkins in his opening sddrees.
