COPENHAGEN, Dec. 20. In to-day's sitting of the Upper Chamber of the Rigsdag an address to the King was proposed. This address requested his Majesty to maintain the legally existing commas isaWstioae of Den mark and Schleswig, as such a course offered a means of binding closely together the different parts of the kingdom, and affording them a gua rantee of constitutional liberty. The address fur ther recommended the government to settle the affairs of Holstein, by fulfilling the obligations of the King towards the Federal Diet, without, how ever, endangering the freedom of connexion between the other parts of the kingdom. His Majesty is informed that the Danish nation applauds his intention of granting more liberty to Schleswig as soon as the affairs of H olstein shall be entirely settled, but that the nation also expects that nothing should be done which might weaken the connexion between the kingdom and Schleswig. The address concludes with an assurance that the Chamber will support the present and any other ministry which shall energetically carry out the above programme.

DIDTMARK. A letter from Copenhagen states that SL Hail has decided on rejecting the English propositions, founding his refund on the fact that Slesnrig is a Danish possession ; that the complaints on the sub ject of the oompulsory use of the Danish language are unfounded, that the autonomy of that duchy would be tantamount to the dissolution of Den mark, and, lastly, that the King has given to his country the institutions which he thought useful. THE PACIFIC. By the last American mail we have news from the Pacific rid New York, of which the following is a summary. intelligence from Panama, under date of Nov. 27, says : Probably the severest gale ever experienced at Aspinwall was felt on Friday and Saturday, the 21st and 22nd inst. The gale commenced about midnight, and by daybreak the British brig Bolivar we. reported as a total wreck, having sous on the reef, and was soon followed by the Royal Mail Company's steamer Avon, also reported a wreck, the crew bevies escaped to the shore by ropes, after using all possible exertions to save the ship. 'The Ocean Queen carried away her paddle-box against the wharf, but finally succeeded in getting to sea. The United States Chip Bainbridge, at last accounts, was considered i 0 danger ; her Britannic Majeety's frigate Jason was lying off the port, but, owing to the heavy sea, could render no assistance. Since Saturday, the 22nd inst., no communication was bad with Colon until Monday night, I when a messenger crossed the isthmus, partly by the en ' gine sod by hand cars and canoes. He came over the track 13 miles in a canoe, fiodiog at some plum I() feet of water lon the track. As the triennia now abating the track will probably be clear to-rootirow. It is contemplated sending the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Callao, for the south coast, to sea to-day without the mails and pas- singers from Europe, now at Aspinwall, unless they can come over this morning . The Orizaba is in from Calif ornia. There are now in port four French, three United States, and one British ships of war. According to the very latest from Colon there are no hopes of saving the Royal Mail steamer Avon • it was expected she would be •total wreck. Slielma gone over on her side, and bad several lame Wes through her bull. She Lad on board a million dollies of San Francisco and Mexican treasure for Europe, which will probably be saved. Thesteamer Bogota, with mails from the Pacific coast for transmissioa to Europe rid Colon, arrived on the 21st. Her dates are : Valparaiso, Nov. 2nd ; Coquimbo, 3rd ; Caldera, 4th ; Cobija, 6th ; Arica, 7th; Islay, Bth ; Pisco, 10th ; Callao, 13th ; Nita, 16th ; Guayaquil, 17. In addi tion to mails and passengers, the Bogota brings 385,776 doh. epode for transmission to Southampton ; also 399 ,ales bark, 278 mesons bark, and 20 packages general merchandise. From Chili we learn that the late assessment on cotton, goods which chiefly affects the poorer classes, has hese the subject of very long and animated debates in the House of Representatives ; and it is probable that some memo of relief will soon be introduced. The evil is aggravatd . by the European cotton famine and the unusually highp ricss of all cotton stuffs at present, without any immediate pro speot.of sufficient supplies. It is feared that amicable relations between Chili and Bolivia may be interrupted ou account of outrages com mitted by the authorities of the Bolivian port of Lamar against Chilian citizens working the guano deposits of Mejil tones, within Chaim] territory, and the detention in gaol of the chief of the working party. Considerable excitement had preveiled in reference to the late expedition, supposed to have been encouraged by the late l'resident of Peru, General Castilla, with the object, it is suppoeed,Of invading the republic of Ecuador. The ground of complaint of the supposed invaders was that the Fred. dent of Ecuador and has commander-in-chief were plotting the annexation of that republic to France, and the object of the expedition was to reinstate General Urbina is the pre sidentship. The movement, however, if the object is cor rectly stated, has met with universal reprobation in Chili and the other republics on the coast. Accounts have been received of rich fields from the Co- piapo silver mines, which are all now giving good returns, and the ruiners at last are being remunerated for their sacri fices during the late period of unsuccessful exertions. By a new post-office regulation in Chili all letters arriving by the English steamers, also despatches from the British government and other governments to their ampule amid men-of-war, have now, without exception, to go to the post office on arrival, and must therefore suffer the usual delay and risk, if not expense, of peeping through the hands of native officials. Intelligence from Peru states that one of the most wel come results of the commencement of the labours of the new administration is the reduction of the army and navy to the extent of ten thousand men, who will now be free for agricultural and other purposes. The Chamber of Deputies has entered a suit against the Comerrio of Lima, because it had ventured to call for more economy in certain portions of the public expenditure. General Ecbenique arrived from Coquimbo on the 10th. At all the Peruvian porta where he touched he was warmly re ceived with every demonstration of respect and regard. On the steamer's arrival at Wlao, the general landed and pro- ceeded to Lima. The reception he experienced was such as was never before witnessed in that city—the pathways were one entire mass of Bowen. The general seemed highly affected at such demonstrations of regard after bis long exile from his native land. Rate of Exchange on London, 410. to 42d. per pound.

As she had S feet of water in her bold, the crew were taken off by one of the smacks, sad it is believed that she west down amtly afterwards. The prevalence of the wind from N.

The sew this morning is up to the marine drive, and the quays are flooded for several yards on both aides of the haven. Old seamen here predicted rough weather from the brilliant appearance of the Aurora Borealis on Sunday night. KING'S LYNN. SUNDAY. A severe gale has been blowing almost without intermission since Friday, but without doing any serious damage until this morning. The wind brought a heavy tide with it this morning, under the iaflusece of whisk an important sea wall or bank, which protects Mr. Beolinalea property in Torrington Marsh, has given way, sad mooed a large district reclaimed from the sea year by year for some years past to the ravages of the ocean. Not much land is at present under water, and efforts are being made to repair the broach before the return of the tide to-night but it is stated that the whole bank is to a very precarious state. One of the banks recently made by Maws. Foto in connexion with the Norfolk Estuary works, and known as the Wolverton bank, hes also given way. At Huostenton, the terminus of the New Lynn and Hasten ton Railway, the water has been quite over the fine cliff, NA the lime of railway, which runs clime to the 'ma along the coast, is now submerged between Ilunstentoa and Meacham, and the trains run only to Meacham. Some serious shipping casualties are feared along the omit. Yesterday a French vessel was on shore about ten miles below Lynn ; the mew were in the rigging, but it was hoped they would be taken off. RAMSGATE, SUNDAY Evmcnro. The gale which prevailed during Saturday night and this morning has been the cause of a coosidensble de struction of property on the coast in the vicinity of this town. The tide this morning was higher than it has been known for the last tweoty-five years, and the waves, like mountains of water, rolled in with temfic violence. The famous Bamsgate rode have not now their usual appearanoe—they are more like an immense wreck, being strewn with huge pieces of timber sad lumps of chalk of various dimensions. in the vici nity of the sands are the premises of Messrs. Strong and Barnes, boatwrighta, which consist of • large wooden struc ture, used as • workshop, and what is called the boat builder's yard, in frost of which was erected a strong woodea fencing. Although no so embankment, and some distance from where the tide usually approaches, the whole of the latter have been washed away ; one side of the building has been forced in. and the foundation, although solid chalk, has been completely undermined. A large wooden mar quee, used by visitors in the season, has also been partly destroyed. The coast-guard station had • very narrow es cape, and it is feared the men and their families will lave to turnout before the next high tide. Toe waves wenhed com pletely over the station, and the water fell down thechim nays so as to prevent fire* being kept by the occupants. Even the Kent Coast Railway Company have notescaped. For some time peat • tunnel has been in coursed construction through the cliff, the chalk from which has been brought out to form an embankment as a conti nuation of the line in the direction of the town. This embankment was about 100 feet in length, 50 in width, and from 15 to 20 feet high, but now the whole has been washed away. At about half-past four this morning the Ramsgate lifeboat went out to • vessel (belonging to Soath Shields) which was ashore on the Goodwin Sands. After much difficulty, the boat neared the vessel, and succeeded in saving the lives of four out of five of the crew. The fifth man was lost, having, we an informed, fallen into the sea in endeavouring to jump from the reseal to the lifeboat I But for the timely assistance of the lifeboat the whole of the crew must have been lost. The four who were saved were taken to Dover, and the lifeboat arrived home this ! afternoon at about 3 o'clock. As she entered the harbour, the brave crew were hailed with • hearty cheer from some hundreds of persons, who had assembled on the pier. The datiispe done in the harbour is not extensive. There are, however, several small craft sunk, and one or two brakes. SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIGHT. To-night a telegraphic message came down to the Tyne from Admiral Fitzroy, that dangerous winds might be expected, and the night stows warnings were hoisted. Coincident with the appear ance of the storm warnings, the wind, which had been blowing fresh all clay from the NH.W., got more round to the north and eastward, and came on to blow a fierce gale. There is a heavy sea on the bar, and the night is dark, with showers of sleet and snow. Two hours ago the alarm , was given that a laden schooner had run upon the Herd Sand, and the South Shields lifeboat was immediately launched and manned by the pilots. They ' pliantly pulled her out into the heart of the sea, and have just brought the crew of the stranded vessel ashore amid the cheers of the people. The vessel is the Isabella Grin. ley, with opals for Montrose. She left Sunderland ca Wed nesday last, and has been knocking about in the North Sea ever since. The storm seems to be increasing in violence, and the wind appears to be getting more round to the eastward. BOULOGNE, SCZiDAT, 10.15 P.M.

The New Society of Water-Colour Painters have hit upon a most happy expedient for enabling a large circle of artiste—a section of the community rich for the most part rather in the gifts of Nature than of Fortune—to join effectually in the general help being rendered to the poor inifferers of the cotton districts. Doubtless many an artist has felt the keenest sympathy for these suffering workers at a handicraft now felt to be as precarious under the inevitable oonvulsions of the great world of commerce aa his own gentle art, which ministers only to the whims and tastes of luxury. But the way to help has not been en easy to him as to the man familiar with cheque-books and the rich harvest of prosperous trade. "Where there's a will there's a way, says the practical old maxim, and. the wate r painters prove their hearty good-will by putting it into the practical shape of this exhibition ; they have shown . . moters ie the ant iota/ice, and ire 0/eject • that by the time the collection is ready to be trans ported to theprovinees it will be very largedyineressed by the fresh gaffs of the palmier*.

Colonel Yolland, the government inspector, had made a most careful examination of the *Catania, the points, and the mode of working the signals, and we hoped to have been able to announce a date on white the line would be mined for traffic. Colonel Follsod, however ham declined to grant the usual certificate ; and until this is obtained cannot be cooveyed upon the railway. The ream far holding the certificate is, we are informed, the imperfection of the mode of working the signals. This is a past upon which theta bee been considerable negotiation for I several weeks, and has beet repeatedly put forward se the ground of the numerous poraposements that have taken place. The signals are arranged to be worked from each eod of the tunnel. Considering, how ever, the number of trains which will be ran, and the short intervals between the times of starting them, and that there will never be fewer than three trains in the tunnel at ono time during the whale day, it is obvious that greet care is required in all matters relating to signals. The mode of working these signals, as arranged by Mr. Fowler, the engineer, is certainly a very ingenious one. but, if we are correctly informed. tear requite • very large amount of physical force on the part of the men entrusted with their wilting, and being exceedingly implicated, the commoicatioas are liable to get oat of order. Colonel Yollitod, with a view to the safety of the public, has with held his approval of this scheme, and will continue to do so until soother and more efficieutmode of working the signals has been provided. It is sow perfectly clear that the line cannot be opened far taa/Se by the let of January, as ma anticipated, and Ms not improbable that several weeks may yet elapse .before the naceatary arraagenienta are am pleted.—Obserree.
