He also so peculiarly marked the cup board door that he could tell whether any one went to it, and he watched it day by day, but without effect for some time. The prisoner was errand boy in prosecutor's service, and it was hls duty to go into the place on Fridays to clean it. He did so last Friday, and while in the room went to the cupboard and took some cigars, but not any of those marked. This morning he went there again to clean, and prosecutor saw him take a handful cigars, seized him, and found some upon him. The -magistrate opened one of the cigars and found the name curiously inserted. Prisoner said nothing in reply to the charge. lie was remanded till Tuesday. THAMES. CUTTING AND WOUNDING —Herman Menus, a German, skin-dresser, aged 38, of o. 11, Lambeth-street, White chap el, was brought Mr Partridge charged with cutting and wounding Timothy Bryan, an List' labourer, of No. 16, Lambeth-street - . The prosecuior did not appear, and it was stated that he either did no' care about the Wound as a serious one inflicted upon linr. or that he had been compensated by the prisoner's cauntrymen. The Germans have been in the practice of keeping prosecutors and witnesses out of the way on occasions like the present. It appeared from the evidence of a mike constable of the H diviedon, that he was called to a disturbance in Lambeth street last night, and found a young man named Timothy Bryan lying in the gutter and bleeding profusely from a wound under the left ear. He raised Bryan from the ground and asked him who had wounded him, to which he replied that he was having a row with another man, and that the prisoner, who was present, went into his own house, brought out a knife, and cut him down the cheek. Mr John Cowley, surgeon, of 11, High-street, White chapel, said he was called upon to attend the wounded man in the Leman-street station-house last night. There was a wound on the left cheek by the side of the ear, an inch and a half long. Considerable force was used. The prosecutor was very bad, and had a fit in the station-house, which 'asted some time. The prisoner in defence said that be was coming home from his work and a lot of boys fell on him near his own door, and the one he was supposed to have wounded struck him two blows on the face, and followed him to his own house, No. 11, Lambeth-street. He had two cans in his hand, and Bryan was about to strike him again when he raised one of the cans and struck him with it. He used no knife whatever. The policeman, on being recalled, said the person struck was a lad of 19 or 20. Mr Partridge said these cutting and wounding cases had become so alarmingly common that the investigation must be continued, and the prosecutor and other witnesses sum moped. He remanded the prisoner, and issued the necessary summonses for the attendance of Bryan and the others. Serious Charge of Fraud. At the Mansion House, yesterday, Edward Russel Daunt, described as of 2, Hercules-passage, was brought up in the custody of Detective -sergeant Haydon, before the Lord Mayor, having been apprehended upon a warrant signed by Mr Alderman Waterlow, charging him with having unlawfully and by false pretences obtained fr )m Lieut.- Colonel Alexander Strange a cheque for £229 12s Bd, with intent to defraud, Mr Humphreys appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr Sleigh, barrister, instructed by Mr Holmes, appeared for the prisoner. Mr llumphreys, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, said the prosecutor in this case was Lieut.-Colonel Strange, a retired officer of the Indian army. In 1862 he was desirous of investing some money he had then in his possession, and in consequence of the prisoner's adver tisement, he employed him as his stockbroker, and since that time there had been several transactions between them. Ile told the prisoner that he was no speculator, _ . and did not want to dabble with his money. Lieutenan ..._ ..... _ Strange, however, did not know much of commercial pur suits, but gave himself up to the advice of the prisoner, and the result was that he was a loser to a very cone derable amount. The charge arose upon a cheque which the prisoner obtained by fraud. On the 15th of June last year, the prosecutor instructed the prisoner to pur chase for him Greek stock to the amount of £25,000, and he received from the prisoner the purchase note, which with ,the commission amounted to about .0,000. The prisoner it appeared had purchased £25,000 in Greek stock, but not at the price mentioned in the purchase note, namely 39k. Lieut.-Colonel Strange was not able at the time to take up the purchase, and left some Ottoman Bank shares in the defendant's hands. The prices fell, and he instructed the prisoner to sell and purchase every fortnight until the 21th November, 1863, when he instructed the prisoner to sell the whole, and received from him a sale note which purported to show that £25,000 in Greek stock had been sold at a loss of about £2,200. The accounts were delivered to the prosecutor every fortnight for his inspection, and as far as he could see they were all right. On the 24'h of May, IS6I, the Ottoman Bank shares having rie en, Lieutanant-Colonel Strange determined to close his account entirely with respect to the G:cek stock, for which he had been paying interest to the prisoner for the deficiency, and instructed him to sell his shares in the Ottoman Bank. This, according to the calculation of the prosecutor, would leave him a margin, and he directed the prisoner to purchase some shares in the Egyptian Corn. mercial and Trading Society, and received from him what appeared to be the purchase note of those shares. The Egyptian Trading Company's transfers were net in the pro • secutor's hands, he thinking they were safe in the hands of the prisoner, left them with him. From something that was communicated to him respecting the prisoner, he ap plied to him for the transfers, and got from him 200 out of 350, and subsequently received the remainder. They all seemed to have been purchased at different periods, some of them on the 24th May, the date of the purchase note, and some as late as the 15th September in the present year, so that in point of fact the purchase note was fictitious. In addition to that, it had been ascertained that instead of the Greek stock being sold and bought every fortnight, as he had been instructed, they were all sold at one date inJune, 1863, so that the purchase notes, on each of which the de fendant had charged his commission, were entirely fictitious, and the prisoner had defrauded Lieut.-Colonel Strange of a sum amounting altogether to no less than £3,500. - - The information upon which the warrant was granted was then read over, and was as follows : A'exander Strange, of 41, Brompton-crescent, said—l am a lieutenant-colonel in the Indian army. In the early part of 1862 I employed one Ed. R. Daunt, now of 2, Hercules passage, as my stock broker, and he has bought and sold stocks and shares for me from that time to nearly the pre sent. On the 31st May last a settlement of our transac tions took place between us, on which I paid him a cheque for £229 12s. Bd., the balance apparently due to him, which cheque has been returned to me as paid by my bankers. The settlement comprised a purchase of 320 shares in the Egyptian Commercial and Ti ading Company (Limited), which by the statement rendered by the defendant he pur ported to have purchased on the 24th May last at £3 2a. Gd. per share, and £2 paid, the total to my debit being £1,6t8 12s. Gd. I have since obtained from Daunt several transfers for 320 shares, and find that the transfers do not relate to any purchaFes of the like shares on the 24th May, but on vari , ,us dates in July, August, and September. I find also that the price at which the shares were purchased by the defendant is less by about £ 4OO t han the amount he debited to me for them in his account. I should not have parted with my cheque for £229 12s. Bi. if I had not believed that the 320 shares had been purchased as represented on the 24th May, and at the time debited to me by him in his account. Upon this the case was remanded at the requet of Mr Sleigh, the Lord Mayor declining to admit the prisoner to bail. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, AIONMOUTII RACES —THURSDAY.

Mr Laing, ex Finance Minister of India, delivered a lecture in the Free Church of Wick on Friday evening, upon the "Trade and Finance of the British Empire." Provost Louttit, who occupied the chair, briefly introduced the lecturer to the meeting. Mr LAING commenced his lecture by stating that he did not wish to touch upon party politics, as he was never him self a keen party man ; but there were two cardinal prin ciples which he had held since he entered upon political life —viz , Free-trade and Non-intervention. Upon the im portance of free trade he did not think it necessary for him to enter, as all parties were now agreed that it was the great means of promoting the material wealth and prosperity of the mass of the nation. Non-intervention, however, re quired explanation and support. National sympathy almost invariably went with the weak against the strong; and th ) masses of the people reasoned by the heart instead of by the head. They were like the schoolboy who was alt ays ready to fight with his fists for the weak side, or for his own district or parish. The policy of a great nation, however, should be manlike—not boyish. They should be guided by sense, and not by sympathy, and should never go to war unless a clear sense of duty obliged them to resort to the swcrd. He did not mean to lay down any absolute theory oil the subject, for absolute theories were not always the safest things ; and if mathematicians could not calculate the movements of three bodies unless by an approximation, it was not to be expected that any absolute theory could be formed for the regulation of arrangements so complicated as the policy of nations. To do the right thing at the right time, and put the right man in the right place, were worth to a statesman all the theories in the world. Non-intervention, he was glad to say, is now the policy of this great nation. Europe has on two occasions recently been brought to the brink of war by fol lowing the antiquated policy of " meddle and muddle" which has so long characterised the Foreign Offices; but war has been prevented by the peoples of England and France, who iu this matter, he could safely say, had shown themselves tc be wiser than their respective Governments. When diplomatists were penning notes and bringing the country to the brink of war, we were all convinced of the absurdity of going to war with sixty millions of Russians for a commercial King of Poland, or with forty five millions of Germans to settle the question whether the Danish or the German language shall be taught in the schools of Schleswig or Holstein. He tid not believe the Government were altogether to blame, as they were perhaps forced by circumstances into the line of action which they pursued—but he gave them credit for having decided rightly upon three most important questions—not to go to war for Poland or Denmark, nor to interfere in the civil war in America. If those great questions could occur again, he believed that the Government would not only come to the same decision, but would do so without hesita tion, whether that Government were Liberal or Conserva tive; and the consequences of their hesitation manifested upon two of these occasions should prove a lesson and a warning to all politicians to make non-intervention a car • dinal rule of British policy. Mr Laing, after paying a warm tribute to the memory of Sir It. Peel, to whose policy in public affairs, he said, Britain was mainly indebted for the high position which she occupies among the nations of the earth, proceeded to the consi leration of the trade of the country. The imports and exports, he said, amounted in 1863 to £141,000,000 ; while 10 years before that period it was only £268,000,C03 ; and 10 years before that again, £150,000,000 ; showing an average yearly increase for the 20 years of £15,000,000. Ho then quoted a long array of figures showing how this immense sum was made up et £240,000,000 of imports and £195,000,000 of exports, enumerating the different articles and their value. He then proceeded to analyse this trade, and stated—first, that cur own possessions were our best customers, giving us one third of our imports, and taking one-half of our exports, India, which was first on the list, gave us 50 millions, and took 20, and he believed the current year would far exceed these amounts. Australia sent us 7 millions, and took 13. Our North American colonies sent us eight millions, and we gave them five in return. This was sufficient, he thought, to refute the shallow theory that we should abandon our colonial possessions as useless encumbrances. Notwith standing the fact that there was no forced monopol), and that they were left to sell their goods in the dearest market and buy in the cheapest, the tendency of the trade was al ways towards the mother country. On turning to the foreign trade of the country, Mr Laing said that it was gratifying for him to state that France stood at the head of our foreign oustomers. It was gratifying to him personally, because he had taken a humble part under Mr Gladstone in negotiating the French treaty, and it was further gratifying to him as a friend of peace to find so firm an alliance existing between the two most powerful nations in Europe. The average imports and exports from and to France previous to the existence of the treaty was only 24 millions, while for the last three years it reached 42 millions. Our trade with the United States, which previous to the present insane and suicidal war reached 60 millions, has now decreased to 40 millions. Our trade with Egypt ten years ago amounted to only 4} millions, whip it is now 20 millions. Mr Laing then proceeded to the financial part of his address. The national debt of France, he said, had in ten years decreased £150,000,000, while Austiia and Italy had increased £68,000,030. Spain was its wits' end to make both ends meet, while Turkey was knocking at the door of every bankr in Europe ready to accept anything from anybody who was able to lend them on any terms. The United States have made the di , covery that they are the biggest people in creation, and they seem therefore to have come to the conclusion that they should have the biggest national debt. In this they have been pretty successful, for in three years they have managed to accumulate something like £300,000,00. Now it may be asked, how has this rate of expenditure been arrived at ? The answer is—Bella horrific° bella. Curing the last ten years there had been an extra expenditure of £300,000,000 sterling incurred by two great European wars, and £300,000,000 more by minor wars and an armed peace; and if this is added the American butchers' bill, we have an expenditure on war in ten years of little short of £1,000,000 000. How far this was necessary he would not attempt to say ; but owing to wars and rumours of wars, there had been puffed away in these ten years something like £1,000,000,000 in gunpowder, Enfield rifles, and plated ships; and Governments had got into that track that they must choose between disarming and national bankruptcy. Great Britain has not altogether escaped in this matter. Her expenditure has increased consider ably, which has been caused by the increase in her army and navy establishments ; but when contrasted with other States, her finances were in a highly favourable condition. We were able annually for the past few years to reduce the taxes, and yet make both ends meet. These results, which were so gratifying in themselves, were brought about partly by the general prosperity of the country, partly by the stimulus given to trade by the gold dis coveries, and lasi though not least, by the Free-trade measures heralded by Mr Cobden, inaugurated by Sir Be Peel, and carried out by Mr Gladstone. The lecturer then proceeded to point out the sources f. om which the income of the country was derived, which he characterised as a simple and equitable mode of raising the revenue. The upper and middle classes, he said, took upon themselves 20 yearst hadx e tt ta ag a o te t hh h e, e burden of the income tax in order to equalise h .ranrdewinard a thusthraeihseienngdthttemcoeendeivteiornioef thethe massesfeelihg they 5 t u e3 t ,ho i e o o n o s volun teers, contrastuthn e °w i the t Let h any x aes a nre n edv d i set i r rhn i e g eigg h i hon t v. e e ur e eH l tn i h n ece g e during tuahnefcohiry woi loiesathehdtde which tribes reign etehes ra t d a w w cs aie h a osn esuses2 enormous a r B progressa go , and whichhe wi the h ate nation o c e of the world, and concluded by drawing a glowing picture ur k of the increasing prosperity of the British Empire.

He had no fear himself so long as the national spirit remained intact, but that the star of England would still remain in the ascendant, and if it ever decayed it would be from in ward and not from outward attack. The lecturer was fre quently applauded in the course of remarks by a large and attentive audience. Daring the last few days there has been very little business transacted in the market for Foreign and Colonial Produce. Tea has declined about ld per lb„ while sugar and coffee have barely sustained former quotations. In rice there have been a few transactions reported at steady prices, while the tallow market has continued inactive without any material change to report in values for either present or former delivery.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES.—Augustine Wm. Beauclerk Butler, was brought up on remand, charged with obtaining £2O by false pretences. The prosecutor, it will be recollected, deposited £2O with the prisoner, as security, on his taking the service of clerk to the prisoner, he representing himself to be a clergyman and secretary to the Calvery Mission. The prosecutor said he had been entirely deceived, and that as be could not get back his £2O he had given the prisoner into custoly. Mr Vaughan asked it There was any evidence to prove the falsi y of the prisoner's representations. Police Sergeant Di uscovich, 36 A, said—l took the pri soner into custody on the Irith, at the corner f Vige-street. I told him v; ho I was, and the nature of the charge. He said, "Very well, I'll go kith you, but I can't see that Mr Wharton has any cause to com pl a i n ." Since the last exa mination I made inquiri e s, and I find there a r e several p er sons whom he has victi m i se d. Mr Vaughan—ll ive you made any inquiries ab o u t his being a c!ergymart Witness—l have searched the Clergy List, and I cannot dad such a name as Beauclerk Butler. Mr Vaughan—Could you find such a place as the Jeru salem University or the Calvery Mission ? Witness—No, sir, I could not. The circular I produce relative to it was given to me by a gentleman now in court. Prisoner—That is an old one, of three years' date. Mr Vaughan—Did you find out the residence of the prisoner ? Witness—Yes, sir; No. 7, Belgrave-street, South. I also discovered that he had been living at 5, Great College • street, Westminster, and also at No. 90, Gloucester - street, Queen's-square, from which he went away £5O in debt. I have obtained the returns I now produce from the pri soner's " office." The letters were here opened by Mr Burnaby, the chief clerk, and read. One was from a clergyman of the Church of England to subscribe to the Jerusalem Mission, and the others were principally from young men offering their services as clerk and under secretaries. Mr Vaughan—Do you wish to ask the witness any ques tions ? Prisoner —No, sir, as I most likely shall have to appear elsewhere, I shall reserve my defence. Edward Wildair, clerk to Mr Beresford, of 2, Pump court, Temple, said—About the middle of July the prisoner came and asked if we had a room to lot, as he waned one for the office of the Jerusalem College. He told me he was a clergyman of the Church of England. Prisoner—That I distinctly deny. I never said such a thing. Witness continued—He took possession of the room a few days after (about the 23d Ju'y), and the only furniture it contained was a table, the circulars, and some ink. His name was painted up on the 29th of July. Inspector Mitchell, of the City Police, here said—The witness Wharton is a friend of mine, and I went with him to Mr. Lee's chambers, at Lincoln's Inn—the place ap pointed by the prisoner for the payment of the £2o—and there I saw a gentleman whom, however, now I don't believe to have been Mr. Lee; and from the manner in which the prisoner acted on that occasion, I was so entirely deceived, that I advised my friend to accept the situation, which he did. The agreement was then signed, and the prisoner took the two £lO-notes from out of nay hand and gave them to the gentleman present, and told him to place them to the account of the Jerusalem College. Mr Vaughan—That does not carry the case any further, and therefore it need not be added to the depositions. Are there any other cases ? The police-sergeant said he had a number of persons present who had been deceived by the prisoner. A gentleman said he had let the prisoner a house on the representation that he was secretary to the Bishop of Lon don. After he had occupied it for some tim e h e wen t awa y, leaving the rent unpai d. Various tradesmen at the time supplied him with articles on the belief that he was the per son he had said, but had never been paid for their goods. Mr Vaughan—This is matter far a civil tribunal, Have you anything else, A foreigner said he had entrusted the prisoner with a quantity of valuable cameos for disposal, on his represent ing himself to be the secretary of Jerusalem College, but he had never received the money for those he had dis posed of. Mr Vaughan—That also may stand aside as a debt. The ollowing additional charge was entered into : Mr. Thomas Williams, of Church-row, Stoke Newington, said—l am a managing clerk to Messrs Wright and Bolder, 15, London-street, Fenchurch• street. In 1854, the prisoner was engaged as an office-boy by our firm, at a eatery of Bs. per week. He remained there about four years. On the Ist of March, 1831, I met him in the Temple, and he then told me he was under secretary to the Bishop of London, special messenger to Cardinal Wiseman, and he then handed me his card. He asked me to lend him £3 10s. He toll me he had married a lady of fortune, the daughter of Colonel Phillips. That Colonel Phillips was an attendant . on her Majesty at l3uckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. P.isoner—l em perfectly astonished at your representa tions and your attendance hero. Witness—No doubt you are, He further told me that his wife had presented him with a living at Normanby in Yorkshire; that he frequently had to attend to his duty there, and that he was then looking out for a curate. I believed his representations and lent him various sums amounting in all to £l5. Mr Vaughan—Was it upon the representations that he made that you lent him the money f Witness—Decidedly. 1 believed all he told me, and I felt glad that such a fortunate change had taken place in his affairs. I wrote to him repeateely for the money I had lent him, but I only got 10s. back. Prisoner—l shall not ask any questions at present. Sergeant Druscovich said—l have made inquiries at the secretary's office of the Bishop of London —Messrs Bruder and Dunning, Parliament-street—and the prisoner is alto gether unknown there. This evidence completed that case, Mr Rosaspim, tailor, 11, Harrington-street, Pimlico, said about May 30 the prisoner represented himself to be a clergyman of the Church of England —that he belonged to the East-end division, and was one of the Bishop of London's men. He ordered a loose coat —the one he is at present wearing —such an one that he could throw off after attending to the poor people in the alleys and courts. I supplied him with the coat mainly on the supposition that the representations made by the prisoner were true. I have never been paid for the article. Mr Vaughan—That will make out three cases against the prisoner. Have you anything to say before I commit you for trial on these charges? Prisoner—No, sir; I reserve my defence. I shall be able satisfactorily to prove the inaccuracy of the charges against me at my trial, and until that time I shall say nothing. Mr Vaughan — Before I close the ca se I may as well in form you that letters have been recceiYed from Messrs. Foster, of Oxford, asking for certain information relative to you, and the handwriting of the letters or dering the articles exac tly corresponds with yours, and information to that effect will be forwarded to them. The prisoner was then fully comraitted to take his trial I on three charges. MARLBOROUGII STREET. FOBBING LICENSED VICTUALLERS. —John Williams, who refused his address, and described himself as a stable. man, and in whose possession was found a handicap-book and betting-book, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing at the Crown luncheon-bar, 356, Oxford-street, four pewter measures, the property of Mr Jackson, and one pewter measure, the property of Mr William Smee, of the Marlborough Inn, Blenheim-street, Oxford. street, Mr Jackson said about 9 o'clock that morning the pri soner came into his house and called for a glass of ale, and then took up a newspaper to read. Shortly after the pri soner walked into his yard, where his 1 othouse was situated. The barmaid strongly believing the prisoner was the same man—thongh not wearing the same kind of hat—that had paid them a visit last week, and after whose disappearance r o l f bo t r h o e u five measures were missed, spoke to him, and on the pri soner being about to leave he seized him, and finding some measures in his pockets took him at once to the Marl borough-mews Station, and charged him with robbing him. The prisoner was then searched, and five measures, pressed Inn, Blenheim - street, together, so as to enable him to get them into his pockets, g v h alue of 3s, as his were found in his possession. Some of the measures belonged to him (Mr Jackson), and were of the value of 14s. property. said that Edward Rowlett, 145 C, on searching the pri soner he found in his pockets four measures , and in his hat stre l e r t, W ide m niifi S e i d eg o ' ne ofratehaesuMrea, a fifth. Mr Tyrwhitt said the Prisoner seemed to be so great a thief on this occasion that he thought he must be known before. He should therefore remand him for a week, to give the police an opportunity of making inquiries. 'WESTMINSTER, RoCbLeErtvEl\RlealliOnDgE OF DETECTING A. R , a youth between 13 and 14 years of age, was placed at the ba r charged with. stealing nine cigars. Mr. Heath, of 25, St. George B. place, Knightsbridge, hatter, said that ho had recently lost a great quantity of and improve in flavour, choice cigars which h e had .purchased for his own private enjoyment. He had the cigars in June last, and in order that hpeer ps persons t an h e,s e e y di n might he g i ms h t employment n ge at cupboard nce and d to ry u ' llich his cl er ks and other bad occasional access, The cigar s were in boxes , s ome containing about a hundred each, others a few less according to their size. About 10 days since he thought he would try one of the cigars, and went to the cupboard to get it, when to his surprise he found one box empty, two others with only one each left in, and a fourth box with but a few. As prosecutor h a d many persons about him, he did not know who to suspect, and the better to ascertain who was the real culprit, he resorted to the following expedient. Ho wrote his name on small pieces of paper, which he twisted up very tight, and he.ving made a whole in the leaf at the end of the The Great Fire in Gresham-street, City. SECOND EDITIO RECOVERY OF SALVAGE.-LATEST PARTI- SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. UULARS. Some thirty men have been employed for the last twenty— four hours in exploring the ruins in order to find goods.. ' Mr Raclmall, who is superintending the clearance of the, ' building, has, in conjunction with Head-Engineer Purdue, employed two experienced firemen, late of the brigade, and. about fifty tons weight of carpets have been taken out of: the premises belonging to Messrs. Tapling and Cc. The' bulk of this salvage has been removed to Tt.ylor's depository, but the most burnt portions are piled up in the basement of Messrs. Tapling's premises. It is the opinion of the sur— veyors that these packages can be cut up in pieces, and will realise a cJwider,,blo sum by auction, to carpet-bag manu facturers. An immense quantity of blankets has been got out, some burned at the edges aul some through the folds, but they may be cat IQ end siWU into good pieces. The Turkey carpets already rescued will, it is expocted, fetch. a large sum. As yet none of the silks and hab:rdashery goods have been got at, bat they must be greatly deterio rated iu va'ue These, as fast as they can be recovered, will be remo - ed •0 be dried and packed in lots. A very ex, iti ig scene took place at the back of Messrs. Tapling's p m ies, in which two firemen nearly perished. Engineers I ur ue and Izard, who had just emerged from Elaberdashei e Hall, were attacking the flames issuing from one window, when they suddenly rushed through another, and the men becoming fairly surrounded with flames, and no other chance of escape presenting itself than by jumping through them, tho men alighted upon the floor below, a distance of at least 18ft. now they escaped without serious personal injury appears a perfect miracle, fur just as their feet reached the next floor the roof fell.

The Vienna Conferences. A letter from Dresden, dated Sept. 19, says :—Those statesmen who undertook to put the screw upon Denmark at Vienna begin to find out that thcy have on hand a far more arduous task than they anticipated. By bringing the vanquished little Northern Puwer to sign the preliminaries of peace, they merely took the horse to the water. " A chlid," says the proverb, '' can achieve that much, but it is more than many men can do to get him to drink." Loud complaints arise throughout Germany that " Denmari is untractable." They have taken her to the wood, where it was understood she was to make ready for execution ; they show her one tree after another, but the stubborn thing will not point out the one on which she may cons ent to be hanged. From the very earliest outbreak of the war Denmark we, knew that the German Powers had her at their discretion unless Providence raised some mighty ally to her support. She fought against odds, she treated on unequal terms; so long as sho could, she hoped against hope. She gave in at last, when she saw herself forsaken ; but it takes a good deal to kill hops in the heart of man ; it takes even more to guard against its revival. It was only in obedience to the stern law of necessity that Denmark was brought to sign these preliminaries; her hand, but not her will consented. She will not abide by that compact upon the least chance of a removal of the pressure. The very exorbitance of the terms imposed, the unfair interpretation put upon these prelimi nary articles, she fancies, ought to rouse heaven and earth to her rescue. If she can only gain time, she flatters her self something is sure to turn up. A worse fate than is now impending can hardly befall her on any emergency. IV hen all is lost, what more can be taken from her ? She has signed away tho Duchies; Jutland is being drained to its last drop of blood. Suppose she never again puts pen to paper, what then ? The Duchies cannot twice be lost, nor can Jutland be bled over and over again. The at mistice must needs be indefinitely prolonged; a renewal et hostili ties is also absurdly out of the question. Should even the question be again referred to the arbitrament of arms, war would now have to be carried on upon that element on which she is as yet unconquered. The Germane, in fact, only grumbled at the bare possibility of matters continuing in their present state of uncertainty until spring, when their commerce would once more be exposed to the attacks of the Danish cruisers. They are, therefore, loudly calling upon Denmark to " come down and execute herso:f." But the greater their haste the stronger her determination to gain as much as she can by delay. She ekes out the half-quar ter of an hour that she has been allowed to prepare for her fate, and, in the meanwhile, she inquires in a voice of anguish fur " any one that may be coming." The King of Denmark, it begins now to be found out, gave up more at the Vienna preliminaries than a King has a right to part with at the present day. The Danes of North-Schleswig are men, and they object to be handed from one owner to another like sheep. There is ono prin• ciple in the modern theory of nationality which cannot be set aside. Every people, large and small, has a most samed right to be heard, whenever any change is to occur about its destinies. Granted, that whatever is is for the best, and let the question of race or language never become the pre text for war or revolution—whether the Alsatians be French or Germans—whether Posen should belong to Prussia or Poland—it would be to little purpose to inquire. Those people acquiesce in their present lot, and quiefe non movere is the best of policies. Upon that ground, nothing could have been more unwise than to stir the question of na tionality in Schleswig-Holstein, so long as the inhabitants of that territory lived peacefully under the Danish sway. The Germans, however, have invoked the national prin ciple in behalf of their Schleswig-Holstein brethren, and as, upon the invasion of the Duchies, a part of the population have raised their voice for separation from Denmark, the latter Power has been compelled to resign its sovereign rights upon them. Ent even admitting that emancipation from Denmark was, indeed, the settled wish of the majo rity of the German population of the Duchies, admitting that Germany had a right to elicit that wish by a hostile invasion, and that the result of military occupation has been to establish the principle of nationality on the clearest basis, in the most legal way, and to its full extent in the revolutionized districts —it is difficult to see on what ground the Germans can insist upon trampling on the national rights of the North -Schleswig Danes, or on what ground these latter can be severed from their brethren of Jutland, Fuen, and Zealand against their own inclination, and simply because their King has been driven by overwhelm ing force to dispose of them as he had not the slightest shade of a right to do. The cession of 200,000 people may be in conformity with the old notions about the sacred rights of Sovereigns ; may be consistent with the law of conquest; but certainly it is not in union with that principle of nationality upon which the Germans have hitherto pretended to act. It is upon this ground that the people of North Schleswig are now petitioning, when they would be fully entitled to protest, against that article in the preliminaries to peace which aims at denationalising them. What power had the King to sign away their birthright ? On what plea would the Germans claim them ? Simply because they are a small fleck, and cannot hold their own against two colossal Powers. But who ever limited the size and num bers within which a people may claim the mastery over its destinies ? If '200,000 human beings are, in spite of all their protests, to be treated like mere cattle, simply because they have not the strength of 30,000,000 or 40,000,000, why should the German Schleswigers, who do not far outnum• ber the Danish Schleswigers, have their rights not only acknowledged, but even vindicated and enforced, before they had given them utterance ? Decidedly the Germans will fiai it diffi fit to apply two weights and two measnres in Schleswig Holstein. " Who aro these men," they say, "who presume to appear before the King at Copenhagen as representatives of their fellow citizens? Where do they come from? Who sent them? Whence did they receive their powers to act as a deputa tion ? How came such a mere handful of men to speak in the name of 200,00) people ? It is well, indeed, that the Germans should put such questions. When Denmark tuled over her own lands as far as the Elbe, and the Duchies, to all appearance, enjoyed the greatest peace and prt sperity, wile were the men who set up as representatives of the Schleswig-Holsteiners ; who trumpeted forth the grievances of an oppressed nationality ; who called upon the whole of Vaterland to rescue an en slaved German tribe from the galling Danish yoke? How were deputations got up at Schleswig or Flensburg ? Whence did the patriots who came to do homage to the Prince of Augustenburg, in their countrymen's name, re ceive their mission ? Alas I it is difficult, in the quietest times, by the fairest means, to get at the real wishes of a people ; but it is always too easy for a few irresponsible ad venturers, for a few unprincipled demagogues, to identify therazolvea with the inert mass, and to pretend to speak in its name. The argument, surely, cuts both ways. The real fact is that a fair, constitutional appeal to the Schles wig liolsteinets was never made before or after the war. The occupation of the Austro-l't ussians renders such en experiment utterly impossible at the present Limo. Those deputies who have appeared before the King of Denmark have shown a civil courage which few of their fellow citizens will have a chance to imitate, since the military au thorities at Apenrade have signified to the inhabitants, by an order dated the 17th inst., that "they will allow no peti tions to be laid out for signature in districts that are still subject to martial law." So long as there is any one in Enrope who has an inte rest in upholding the principle of popular s uffrage, the Danish Schleswigers have atight to be heard, and.the.leing of Denmark has a chance of being countenanced .us hish,r,eh fusel to ratify that first article of the prelunt.nartes w ,c tines of which he evidently exceeded his powers.
