THE KING OF DENMARK AND THE DUCUIES. The following proclamation from the joint Govern , ment of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein :was in serted in the weekly paper of Itzehoe, on t he 30th of December, 1848 : " MEN OF ..Z.CIIL ESWIG -HOLSTEIN. " When on the 22d of October, a. c. , through the Commissioners of the German Central Power and his Majesty the King of Denmark, we were solemnly in stalled in the joint govern ment, we then hoped an d be lieved that our endeavour s to appease the excited passions e cr eated by the war would responded to by our neighbours, the Danes, with the same disposition, and thereby facilitate t he con clusion of a pea ce answering to the true welfare of both parties. 66 Alas, in this hope we have been disappoint " In evident contra diction witht he determination of the convention of the armistice, the isles of Alsen a ./Erros have been perseveringly withheld by nd th e Danish Government from our administration. In the orders of the ,joint Government W hi ch were issued for the preservation of tranquillity and order in the country, a pretext was found, not alone to accuse the joint Government of a hostile intention towards Denmark, but by the recta of •the Danish representative an amicable understanding vesei interrupted ; therefore the interpretation of the several points in the convention of the armistice, which are of multifarious signification, was rendered impossible, or at least aggravated. " With the view to obviate the difficulties which must then follow, the intervention of the German Central Power was sought, when we discovered, with deep re gret, the steps taken by the Danes to avoid the sti pulatioss in the convention of the armistice; though they were, nevertheless, desirous of all the advantages of the suspension of arms.

MART, NEAR EXETER.—The name of a man in custody on a charge of having been concerned in she murder of Mrs. Grace Holman, at the above village, is Henry Woods; be was a labourer, and lately resided at Moreton, a hamlet about twelve miles from Exeter, and six from the scene of the murder. His apprehension was effected in consequence of some mysterious expression, in reference to the awful .tragedy, which fell from him a few days since: His confession, as already stated, implicates two other parties, the one a labourer, named James Landvick, ana the other a man who has since enlisted into the 85th regiment. Woods states that they all entered the house by means of a fir pole, reared against the win dows of the deceased's bed-room, after having made several ineffectual attempts to gain admission by other means; that, as soon as they entered, the deceased jumped up in bed and began to cry out, when the soldier threw himself upon her, and throttled her. Woods says he called out, "Don't murder her," on which the soldier replied, "If you don't hold your tongue, I'll murder you." Woods adds, that the old woman died very hard, and struggled much, the horrid deed being at length ac complished by piling the bedding and a large box upon her, and pressing them down until life was extinct. Woods has conducted the officer to a spot where he says the silver spoons were buried, but the mould had been upturned, and the spoil had vanished, if it had ever been there. The principal, who, at the time of the murder was a shoemaker, living at Crediton, afterwards enlisted in the 85th regiment, and was attested at the Exeter Guildhall. He has since been apprehended, and arrived in that city on Tuesday last. PRICE OF WHISKY.—The Cork distillers reduced the price of this article 3d. per gallon on Friday last. The present price is 6s. per gallon, 25 over proof.—Cork Examiner.

One of the most numerous and highly influential meet ings of the iron and coal masters of this district, which has been held for a long time past, took place to-day at the Town Ball, in this borough. The meeting was not only numerous and respectable, but highly gratifying in, its results. The utmost firmness prevailed, and the ac counts given by all parties of the improved condition of the trade were exceedingly gratifying. It was reported that many excellent orders had arrived by the last two packets from America, and these, coupled with the fact, that our home stocks have become nearly exhausted, led to a determination not to seek orders at present prices. The engagements entered into during the past quarter will occupy the furnaces two months, and the masters are not dispossd to accept of fresh orders unless at an advance. It is now well known that the present rates, 61. 108. for bar, and 31. 19s. f,r pig iron, are not remu nerative, and nothing but necessity, caused by the recent destructive competition of the Welch and Scotch markets, could have led to such low prices. We have, however, reached the lowest point, and the prospects for the new year are cheering. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the week ending: Jan. 6, 1849:—Coaching traffic, 759/.

Henry Soloraons, of Ilolborn-tail, auctioneer, Mr. W. G. White, ofiteman's-row, Shoreditch, printer, and I . lr. John Kneller, of No. 3, Eagle-street, City-road, cabinet nicker, were summoned before Aldermen Law rence and Farebrother (who happened to drop in), fur having on the 4th of January unlawfully, wickedly, and maliciously written and published, and caused and pro cured to be printed and published, a false, scandalous, and malicious libel, in the form of a handbill, containing matters and allegations that the complainant, Mr. George Roacliffe, was about st lling goods the property of a mock auctioneer, which libel was a great damage to the character of Mr. Rowciiffe. Mr. Buchanan, of Walbrook, appeared (in the absence of Mr. BalLntine, the barrister) to conduct the case, and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, defLnded Solomons, White, and Kneller. Mr. George Rowcliffe, auctioneer, of No. 20, Moor gate-street, said that he was the sole ccupi.-r of the htus„ and used the lower part as sale-rooms, and let.the rest of the 11,41,e out as offices. He bought the lease of the premises trom a Mr. liedgrave, who used to carry on the same business, when in partnership with a person named Dlullics. It was after the dissolution of partner ship that he made the purchase; previous to that he used to hire the rooms, and goods were sold under Mr. lledgtave's mime until within the last week, when his name was removed from the door. On the 4th of Janu ary he observed two men near his door distributing hills which rf ferred to him. Alderman LAWRENCE wished to see one of them, when a copy was handed up, and ran thus:— " MOCK AUCTION. "20, Moorgate-street. " The public are respectfully cautioned against pur chasing articles at the above establishment without pre viously examining them with the greatest scrutiny. The numerous sales that are announced to take place from time to time, though advertised as being genuine and unreserved, on the contrary consist of furniture and other goods made and put up expressly for the occasion, being in most cases the property of a mock auctioneer. " The fact of the proprietor's name being different to that of the auctioneer is at once so suspicious, that it is hoped all persons will be deterred from making any purchases without first being satisfied as to the genu ineness of the sale. " A FRIEND OF THE PUBLIC, AND AN OPPONENT OF SHAM AUCTIONS." Mr. Alderman LAwas:NcE—HoW do you make this refer to you? Mr. Buchanan observed that it did, so far as the number of the house being mentioned. Alderman LAWRENCE-But at this time Mr. Red grave's name was on the door, and the bills only having the address of 20, bloorgate-street, how can the pro secutor swear that it was meant for himself? Mr. Bu chanan said he would be able to show, by the evidence he had to produce that he was the person intended to be Mr. Rowcliffe then proceeded with his evidence, and added that on the sth of January he went to the printer (White), and asked him if he had printed the bills; he replied in the affirmative, and said that Kneller gave the order for them, and Solomons paid the deposit. He (the prosecutor) had received a letter on the subject, and several persons had threatened him. The two men who distributed bill 3 about the door of the complainant swore they could not identify Mr. Sob mons as the person from whom they got them. Mr. Rowchtfe was recalled, and cross examined by Mr. Lewis, when he said that the articles were always advertised in the name of Redgrave, who had no license. He declined answering the question of whose property was generally put up for sale, and said that he carried on the business for the last four month; in the same name. Alderman FAREBROTHER--When he brings such a cLarge as this agairbt the defendants, I think, for the sake of his own character, he ought to answer the ques tion; but, as he does not, the non answer must be taken, and all parties may come to whatever conclusion they like. Mr. Roweliffe said that only a part of the property for sale was his own. Mr. Lewis—Will you say that the greater part was rot sent to your rooms by brokers for sale? Mr. Row retuse to say that property was only sent by brokers. Alderman LAWRENCE—Then you have never adver tised in your name, or removed that of Mr. Redgrave from the door? Mr. Rnw•clifle—l have not; but my name has been under the auctioneer's desk. Mr. Lewis—And, as a matter of course, the public would imagine they were purchasing from Mr. Red grave? Mr. llowcliffe,—They might think so. Alderman FAREBROTHER said, — he recollected that some person of the same name as complainant (he did not say it was he, for it might be somebody who as sumed it) advertised a carriage and a pair of horses, the property of a Chevalier Somebody, to be sold in Love lane, Stockwell, This brought a crowd of people, who rang his bell, and were very importunate to see his horses. It afterwards turned out that the Chevalier only resided in lodgings in a freehold house adjoining, instead of being the owner of the property advertised for sale, and that he could scarcely procure the means of buying a dinner; he thought that was decidedly a mock auction, and such sales were continually being carried on under a distress or judgment, whereas in some cases the fact was that the sale and seizure were alleged to be in different counties, which showed the statement to be false. Mr. Buchanan said he bad other witnesses, and called a person named Moore, but he not answering, and that being all the evidence as against Solomons and White, who was included in the first charge, to save time, Aldermen LAWRENCE and FAREBROTHER came to the decision that the charge had not been established, for there was the fact of a person acting in the capacity of an auctioneer under a different name, and, therefore, as the handbill only alluded to the house, and Mr. Red grave's name was on the door, the natural supposition, in the absence of other evidence, would be that it was applicable to the last party, namely, Mr. Redgrave. They had, therefore, come to the conclusion that the summons with respect fo White and Solomons should be dismissed. Mr. Buchanan said, as Mr. Moore had arrived, he would proceed against Kneller and White. Alderman LAWRENCE said he could not do so against White, as the summons bad already been dismissed, he having been included with Solomons. Mr. Buchanan then called John Moore, a broker and picture-dealer, who said— I know Rowcliffe and Kneller. The latter belongs to a society of which I am a member, and one night he said that he had had some words with Rowcliffe, and would serve him out, at the same time showing me a bill with out a printer's name. I afterwards saw similar bills dis tributed in the vicinity of the complainant's house by two men. _ _ _ _ ... . Alderman LAWRENCE—Have you the bill or proof which the defendant showed you. Witness—l have not. Alderman FAREBROTBER—I think, if you go further into the case, the complainant will only prove that his is really a mock auction. Mr. Lewis (to the witness)—You know what mock auctions are? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—Did Mr. Rowcliffe sell any other than his own property ? Witness—l don't think he did. Mr. Lewis—Have you not seen articles several times put up for sale? Witness—l have. Mr. Lewis—And have you not offered yourself to act as a commission agent for gentlemen in the room? Wit ness—l have so, but never took a commission from Mr. Redgrave. Mr. Lewis—Have you not heard that the Times news • paper refused to take his advertisements? Witness— I did hear so from Mr. Rowcliffe; but I can't say that that is the reason he advertises under the name of Red grave, although I have seen advertisements in the papers since he informed me of the fact. He had heard that it was in consequence of a gentleman connected with the Times having made a purchase that the advertisements were refused. I'roscutor—l think that the course that has been pur sued is not right. I have not fair play. Mr. Lewis—Nor have the public. Mr. Rowcliffe said his enemy was Mr. Solomons, and the origin of the libelous bid was that Mr Selomons obtained leave to sell at the Hall of Commerce, and Mr. Moxhay finding the sales were trumpery refused to let him have the use of the room any longer, and gave it up to him (complainant). Mr. Sulomons took umbrage at this, and hence the annoyance. Alderman FAREBROTIIER asked if Mr. Buchanan thought there was any use in proceeding further in the charge of libel, as there was no evidence to prove that it was intended for the complainant, as the witness Moore had produced no copy of the bill he saw. Mr. Rowcliffe (with great warmth)—No, there is no use in proceeding further, as the case was prejudged be fore it was heard. Alderman FAREBROTHER—The public don't find a respectable person using another name, a nd t h at person having no license. Alderman LAWRENCE—We have not been prejudiced. We do not sit here to decide whether yours is a mock auction or not. We only have to decide according to the evidence whether this is a libellous publication, and whether it relates to you. We are of opinion that it does not, and therefore the summons is dismissed. SOUTH WARK. Elizabeth Salter, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing a gold watch, gold guard-chain, and four sovereigns and a half, from Mr. Wade, a merchant. The complainant stated, that on returning home the previous night, in walking along the Waterloo-road, he met the prisoner, and was induced to accompany her to a house in Jane-street, Cornwall road. He had not been long there when he missed the articles enumerated above, and also the money, and upon the discovery he accused the prisoner of robbing him. She, however, denied the charge, upon which he attempted to get out of the room, but she being a powerful woman prevented him, and when he found that he could not get down stairs, fearful of personal violence being resorted to by those in the house, he commenced smashing the win dows to give an alarm. He broke three or tour squares of glass, and the prisoner finding that he was determined upon e:etting out of the place then unlocked the door, and he descended to the bottom of the staircase. Wh en h e got there be was met by a man and woman, who upbraided him for breaking the windows, and when he informed them that he had been robbed they paid. no regard to what he said, and the former seized him, and a scuffle ensued; whereupon a policeman came up, and the man and woman gave him in charge for smashing the win dows. When they arrived at the station-house he (com plainant described the circumstances of the robbery, and the prisoner was taken into custody. He added that he was not sober at the time, but sufficiently so to be enabled to recollect all that had occurred. The landlady of the house said the complainant brought a " lady " there on the previous night, and that soon after they had arrived be began to smash the windows, and that was the reason she made the charge in the first instance against him ; she did not know anything about the robbery except what the com plainant said about it. 1849: It here Ftf o :' 'I" Tr:r`' " C• °tit i„iter court, upon which the Magistrate oesired hurt t, afruo forward. He was a rough, stout built man, and when called upon to state why he had used violence towards the complainant in ejecting him from the house, and who and what he was, his answers were, that he happened to be passing, and having a slight acquainianee with th, landlady of the house, and bearing the windows ha. been wilful') broken by the . complaii ant, he cr , rtirnl3 do. interfere to see that he did no further carnage, and was attacked by him, and in self defence thrust him out of the house. The policeman said that when he came up to the door he saw the complainant and the% man just examined scuffling together in the pasbege of the house, and that the latter and also the landlady charged him with break ing the windows; the complainant at the station-house dfscrib.d that he had been robbed of his gold wzveti, gu.rd-chain, and 41. 10.,. in the house. lit• (the p. lict-mari) returned and searched the ht use, but only found 65., concealed betwtea the bed end mattress p the room where the complainant and the prisoner bail been. The man above alluded to was then asked his name, and he said it was Samuel Pudney; that he was builder, and lived at No. 100, High Heiburn. In reply to the magistrate, he at first said that he had but ; slight acquaintance with the landlady of the house, but, upon being pressed, he admitted that he had slept in her house. Mr. COTTINGHAN—When the complainant mentioned to you that he had been robbed, why did you fall upon him, and thrust him out of the plae« ? Pudi,ey—l did it for the protection of the women, under the supposition that the complainant would have used personal violence towards them; that was my only motive for acting as I did. _ Mr. COTTINGHAM—But when the complainant in formed you that he had been robbed to the extent he alleged, instead of rendering him any assistance, ycu thought proper to give him in charge for breaking the windoK s, which was a comparatively trivial offence to that which had been committed upon him. Besides, added the magistrate, you have given such an unsatis factory account of yourself and your whole conduct on the night in question that I now deem it incumbent upon me to place you in custody. Pudney was then placed at the bar with the other pri soner, who, in her defence, said the complainant was not robbed in the house; that she lodged there, and that, if a robbery had been committed, the property would have been found there, for a strict examination had taken place. _ _ _ In answer to Mr. Cottingham, the policeman said the examination of the house took place after the parties had been at the station house. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he should investigate tht case to the bottom, as a very serious robtitry at tended with violence had been committed on the com plainant, and for that purpose he •hould remand the pri ak.ner until Monday nt but would accept of bail fur Pudney's appearance in his own recognizance of 401. and two sureties of 201. each.

RESTORATION OF ELY CATHEDRAL.—It gives us much pleasure to report progress on the subject of tl-e dt.cor.ttive restorations which are rapidly transforming into a" thing ot beauty" the magnificent edifice which constitutes the chief glory of our inland isle. The fol -I.)wieg facts will be highly sa , isfactory to our readers :--• he glass for the bishop's lessees' window is now in the north iriforium, and will be fixed in the eighth transept as soon as the repairs are completed. The incumbents of livings in the patronage and diocese of the Bishop of Ely have opened a subscription for a window in the south transept; and the incumbents of livings in his Lordship's patren , ,ge, but, not in. the diocese, have undertaken the fourth Norman window. The glass for both is or dered of M. Gerente, so that all the Norman windows in the eighth transept will be his work. The funds are not yet sufficient to pay tor the glass,.but it is to be hoped that those gentlemen who have not yet ex' pressed their intention ot subscribing will come forward. Mr. Warrington, the artist, has promised a window in the south aisle. The Rev. Chancellor Sparke has also premised a window, and there are subscriptions for visitors' window and an ordination window. There are also reports of other subscriptions. The gentleman to whom we are indebted for communicating these facts says that if a few energetic friends would form committee, and undertake the work, another large lan tern window might be filled by the Masters of Arts. A. very small sum—not more than 11., or even 10s.—would be quite sufficient to .procure lauds for the purpose. There would than be only one window left, which might be filled by the noblemen or doctors ; and then this splendid part of the magnificent catiledral would be complete. We have only to add that the Dean of Ely's and Mr. Cooke's windows for the south-west transept are being prepared by Mr. Wailes, to whom the cathedral is indebted for the glass in the south aisle, containing the history of St. Bede. Mr. Wailes has been again to the • Continent, expressly for the purpose of examining the glass of the 13th century. We hope that a mere hint is sufficient to provoke toe laudable co-operation, and even to create considerable rivalry and emulation in contributing to this work.-- Cambridge and Ely Advertiser. [ADVERTISEMENT.)—A Bruised Foot Cured, and Amputation of the Toes prevented by Holloway's oint ment and Pills.—Mr. Oliver Smith Jenkins, of Falkirk. when superintending the erection of a railway bridge had his toot severely bruised by the falling of a heavy stone. Apprehending that serious consequences would result from it, he consulted some of the most eminent surgeons in Edinburgh, who informed him that to effect a cure two of his toes must be amputated ' • refusing to submit to this he returned to Falkirk, an d commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and, miraculous as it may appear, these invaluable medicines healed his foot, and in three weeks he was enabled to resume his employment.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. A RECKLESS DRUNKARD.—A man named Alex' ander Anderson was brought up at the Borough Court on Saturday, on the charge of not maintaining his child. It appeared that he was a plasterer, and able to g i g work. A few weeks since his wife l a y d angerous ly ► and instead of attending to her wants, he went hone night after night in a beastly state of intoxication. Oil two or three occasions he drank all the brandy which the hospital doctor had sent for his wife, while she was in a dying state. She died shortly afterwards; but this made no impression upon him, and be even went so ter as to abuse his brother for attending to the poor woman and her infant. At her death the child was thrown upon the charity of the neighbours, the inhuman father no t caring in the least h,r i t, b ut cont i nuing i n a state constant intoxication as before. The neighbours di" much for the infant; but on Wednesday last it died, in atl probability through want of care and nourishmen t, anti the relieving officer of the district had to bury it. 'I charge against the prisoner was, therefore, for re: fusing to maintain the child a bile living, and to bury 1t when dead. Anderson begged of th e mag i str ates to le l him go and he would amend his conduct, and repay the 16s. which the officer had advanced on behslf of his child. He was summarily convicled to hard labour for one mouth.—Manchester Guardian. THE WEATtna.—The severe frost which corn' menctli at the beginning of last week relented on Sun' day evening. On Friday morning the surface of tbi 9 portion of the island was covered with snow, which con• tinned to fall occasionally till Saturday evening. 00 Sunday it was two inches in depth. Monday brought a thaw, and a heavy and continuous rain, which rapialy melted the snow; and yesterday the earth, emerging from its temporary covering, and illuminated by a bril liant sun, had quite a vernal appearance. The breeze was so fresh that we looked for snowdrops and crocuses among the grass; but we fear that there is yet a winter to intervene before spring appears.—Cambridge Adv.
