Danish Despatches. modification a general statement that it was believed all the demands of the Diet respecting the consti• tional affairs of Holstein would thereby be fulfilled, and especially in such a manner that no disposal could in any way be made of the revenues of the Duchy without the consent of the Estates. Your excellency is aware, from my previous despatch, of the distinction drawn by Herr von Bismark be tween the Federal and international portions of the Dana-German question. I know, upon good authority, t hat he has laid down the following more definite and more extensive difference. In charac terising the Dano-German dispute three main points must always be kept distinctly apart :-1. The question of the Holstein special constitution, which is a purely internal Federal matter; 2. The Schleswig question, which is a purely international matter ; and 3. The question of the position of Holstein in the constitutional organisation of the German monarchy. This last is a question of mixed character, but Herr von Bismark is disposed to regard it as international. "It is naturally the interest of the English Ams bassador at this Court in every way to keep the field open for the activity his Government is about to dis play ; but your excellency knows, as well as I, that he is as well affected towards the King's Govern ment as he is loyal ; and I think therefore all ad• vice coming from him at least deserves the most mature examination. In addition to this, I know he has good sources of information, and he tells me that, according to the statements of Herr von Bis mark to him, ho has the best hope that, provided the King's Government shows great foresight and great moderation, the matter may now perhaps be better arranged than we have hitherto reason to ex• oect. According to his: confidential statement to me, Herr von Bismarck recently said, Let the Holstein question only be settled, and there is no longer any risk. If the Danish Government gives Holstein what the Diet demands, execution is im possible ; and as for the second part of the matter, assuredly nobody will go to war for that.' " I must beg your excellency, out of regard for Herr von Bismarck and Sir A. Buchanan, to regard, this despatch as entirely confidential, so that the statements therein can neither be traced directly nor indirectly to one or the other,—l have the hon our, &c. (Signed) "G.

"At the sitting of the Federal Diet to-day the President informed the Assembly that he had re ceived two fresh despatches from Sir Alex. Malet for communication to the Diet, and at the same time caused lithographed copies to be distributed among the members. Upon the motion of the President the despatches were referred to the united committees. "Freiherr von der Pfordten hereupon brought in the report, with which your excellency is already acquainted, upon Earl Russell's despatch of the 2 9 t h ult. He observed in the introduction that three points required to he taken into consideration-1. The summons to stay the execution, to which reply had already been given by reference to the united committees. 2. The well-meaning intentions of England, on account of which the committees had drawn up the plain reasons for their positions in so mild a form. 3. The mediation proposal, which, the matter in hand being a purely Federal question, was entirely unacceptable. "The President proposed that the votes should immediately be taken. Herr von Scherff requested delay to obtain instructions. Baron Kubeck and Herr von der Pfordten opposed this, the latter in especial endeavouring to demonstrate that imme diate voting would in no way infringe the rights of Denmark; the queation under discussion was of un authorised interference of a foreign Power in a Federal matter. The right, the dignity, and the in terests of the Diet required its instantaneous rejec tion. Herr von Scherff '9 motion being put to the vote, all the other ambassadors voted against it. The vote upon the proposition of the committee was therefore immediately proceeded with. The propo sition was agreed to by all, except Denmark and the Netherlands. The representatives of Hanover and Baden offered a few unimportant remarks by the latter declaring himself for the rejection of the Eng lish intervention, although opposed to the execu tion, but all the other members simply voted in the affirmative. Herr von Scherff hereupon made the following declaration in the name of the King's Government ; "As the interim Ambassador has been unable to cbtain the instructions of his Government respect ing the propositions of the united committees, he is obliged to abstain from voting, and reserves the right of making a farther declaration.' "He also abstained from voting on behalf of the Setherlands. "The other subjects treated by the Diet had no connection with the constitutional question in Holstein. "According to the statements of Herr von Scherff the frame of mind of all the ambassadors to the Diet is very warlike. Federal execution a tout prix is demanded. Herr von der Pfordten in especial was vehement at a private interview in passionate out breaks against Denmark. He spoke of England's proceedings in contemptuous terms ; said that he only desired war, and even advocated sending the Austrian fleet into the Baltic. The Prussian Am bassador, who is said to be instructed not to hurry on the matter, allows himself to be carried away by his personal sympathy and the general opi nion.—l have the honour to be, &c., " H. ROSENKRANTZ." DESPATCH FROM THE DANISH AMBASSADOR IN BERLIN. (Confidential.) " Oct. 23, 1863. " Your Excellency,—l have received to-day from the King's Embassy at Frankfort-on-the-Maine a printed copy of the report of the united committees to the Federal D:et upon Earl Russell's despatch of the 29th ult. to Sir A, Malet, "This document will probably be in your excel lency's hands to-morrow, and 1 doubt not that the impression it will produce will be the same as that received by me, viz., it is a proof, to use the mildest term, of the fruitlessness of all the influence, from whatever side, brought to bear upon the Diet to avoid execution. " Meantime, I hope your excellency will approve my not having taken any steps with regard to this report towards the Prussian Minister President. The latter will require no impulse from me to per ceive how greatly the remarks of the committee de viate from his, and it is of importance to me, in the light in which I regard his peculiar position in the matter, sedulously to avoid everything which might show distrust of his statements or his power. On the other hand, the circumstance that the report bears upon the proposal for a reply to a step undertaken by England gave me an opportunity of immediately drawing the attention of the Britannic Ambassador to what I, at least, regard as its insuf ficient contents. I not only pointed out the differ ence existing between the report and the statements of Herr von Bismarck with regard to the distinction to be drawn between the Federal and international portion of the Dano-German dispute, but I laid especial stress upon the high degree in which the view of the King's Government was jus tified by the true character of the announced Federal execution, and the invasion of the international dis played in the report. I showed further how the publication of this document at the present time must necessarily place great obstacles in the way of all efforts for the maintenance of peace, and of any inclination of the King's Government to do what lay in its power for the success of these attempts. " Sir Andrew Buchanan admitted that the report left much to be desired, but, nevertheless, did not think he could perceive in it the deviation I found it to present from the statements of Herr von Ns• maroh,:and the assurance he had repeatedly given me that the matter was in tho best possible train. Herr von Bismarck was sincere in his endeavours to find a peaceful issue, but he had to contend in this respect with many and great difficulties, and these were not lessened by the general knowledge of the position which he had always formerly taken up with relation to the Holstein question. The report as now drawn up had been rendered by the exec. tions of the Prussian Government a very different thing to what it was in the original draft ; and it was now the beginning of a retreat the continuation of which it could not be in the interest of the King's Government to obstruct. Sir Andrew Buchanan begged me to communicate this view to your Ex. cellency. He considered it, further, of the highest importance that the King's Government should allow itself to be influenced by the present incident in the reply now to be delivered at Frankfort, and also directed my attention to the fact that the Diet, while confining its rejection of mediation to inter vention in the constitutional relations of Holstein and Lauenburg, left open the door for mediation in the entire question in dispute. Ono of the condi tions of such a mediation, as he pointed out to me it was self..evident, must be stay of executior. " Your excellency is probably acquainted with the last despatch of Earl Russell to Sir A. Malet. In this despatch it is stated that her Britannic Ma jesty's Government will modify the patent of March 30, in accordance with the resolutions of the Diet of March 8, 1860, so that its conditions, equally with the decrees of the resolution©, should only be provisional, I have cause to believe that such a modi , fication of the patent would greatly contribute to wards averting the execution ; bat according to the counsel I have received from influential and well informed quarters I believe further it would not be advisable to repeat the statement that the King's Government bad already given Holstein all that the Diet demanded by the patent of March 30, as this would not facilitate the desired spirit of concession. I am of opinion it would be more useful and more effectual if the King's Govern moat confines :itself to adding to th decleretion of DESPATCH FROM THE DANISII AMBASSADOR IN BERLIN. " Oct. 24, 1863. " Your Ex . cellency,—The telegram I have had the honour to forward to your excellency to-day is not the result of a conversation between Herr von Bismarck and myself. I have the information it contains from another source, and it therefore, per haps, leaves something to be desired in respect to clearness. The contents of my despatch, however, are the result of a combination of the information received from the abovenamed source, with the state ments of Herr von Bismarck, as generally repro duced in my despatch of the 21st ult. " I take the meaning to be that in addition to the admission of perfect competence for the future laid down by the patent of 30th March, and the offer to make the whole further contents of the patent the subject of negotiation, so that these contents shall be only provisional, satisfaction of all other complaints of the Diet, in so tar as they relate to acts of the Government prior to the patent of March 30, will be demanded by these acts being submitted to the Estates. Whether it be neces sary to go farther hack than the declaration of July 31, 1861, I cannot say. The statements of Herr von Bisnac,rk to me appear to point to such an intention, but I do not think it can be neces sary, even from the point of view of the Federal "During my last stay at Copenho g,en I had the honour to pointout verbally toyourexcellencywhere in, according to my opinion, lay the danger of an exe cution, and at the came time state whet might follow as the result of that measure, regarded from another This latter might, perhnlw, under certain circumstances, outweigh that danger. But con siderations thereupon based appear to me to give place to the possibility of entirely avoiding execu tion ; and provided this could be done without re voking the patent of March 30, so that it should still remain among the archives, probably no sacri fice compatible with the dignity of the King's Go vernment would be too great. This is more especi. ally the case, as I must assume there are European Governments which desire a war as well as several German Governments, and that there is at least one among those Governments which would hardly be upon our side.—l have the honour. &c. " G. QUAADE," DESPATCH TO THE DANISH AMBASSADOR AT BERLIN " Copenhagen, Oct. 26, 1863. Sir—Enclosed I forward:you the declaration the King's Minister at Frankfort has received orders to make to the Diet. In this document I have shown in the most striking manner the distinction be tween the Federal side and the international side of the question. The Federal side is that in sups port of which the Diet cites the stipulations of the Federal acts, and the Federal character of which springs from the fact that an execution undertaken in Holstein would prove a sufficient means of carry ing out the decrees of the Diet. The international side is that which seeks support in transactions outside the Federal acts, such as those of 18M-52, and the international character of which is shown by the absolute impossibility for the Diet to avail itself of the occupation of Holstein to carry its de crees into execution itself. The King's Government is quite ready to fulfil those demands of the Diet which appertain to the first category. You will see that, in conformity with your advice, we have enopAced as a gen era l thesis the principles that the hols tein Estates shall be admitted to exercise en tire legislative power upon the part of Holstein ie common affairs. In speak. lag of the patent of the 30th March we have said that in our opinieti it has sufficiently established the same principle, and that, if the secondary stipule tions•of that act do not fully satisfy the wishes of the Diet upon the subject, we are disposed to modify them in agreement with the Diet, and in conse quence of this disposition of the Danish Govern. meat we have used the expression provisional,' of which somuch has been made. "As regards the demands of the Diet coming under the second abovementioned category, media. tion alone would avert the danger of war if the Diet does not think it can lend itself to a direct agree ment with us. You will remark that I have avoided using the word war' in the declaration, although it must be evident that such an eventuality is in my mind. " I send you at the same time an extract of a de spatch from the Charge d'Affaires of the King at Frankfort, containing the opinion of M. Scherff— who certainly cannot be denied the quality of an impartial judge in the matter—upon the exaspera tion which appears to prevail in the committee, and by which unfortunately the reporter appears to be especially carried away. I believe that these enclosures will not be without interest for you in your conversations with Sir Andrew Buchanan. It seems that Earl Russell had addressed a third despatch to Sir Alexander Malet, and., according to information I have received, it appears that Earl Russell has exactly laid down himself the distinc tion I have drawn in our declaration. He reeog ui,,es exclusive Federal competence in all things which concern the autonomy of Holstein, but be claims an international character for the other parte of the question. " I have this moment received your despatch No. 20, explaining your telegram of the day before yes terday. I thank you for your readiness in sending me information of this fresh demand, but I do not perceive to what disposition prior to the patent of the 30th March allnsiou is made. Is the reference perhaps to the normal budget of the 28th February, 1856? In any case, however, we must now await the effect our declaration will produce. (Signed) " C. HALL." Trial of ILK's Turret Barn V, corpiou. . a, 1 4K 4 ! fs4ll Jaceaeet e 44V On Tuesday the first of the celebrated stem tlitegiir;7atver--eee dr^,,a4e4 built by Messrs Laird Brothers, of Bit ketthead, a preliminary, or engineers', trial tr; :p. Since vessel has been banded over by C imernmeat to Al ii Messrs. Laird, all that has been donut has been to put the vessel in the graving dock, ail rape her bot tom, and clean down the paint-w0r.71 and machi nery, which had become much deteri orated by ten months' exposure to the weather in tl ie river. Be sides the builders, there were on boat .d Mr Dinnen, Admiralty inspector of machinery ; Mr Hobbs, in spector st•*pwr: whr , -uperinte nding, the con struction of tee .aad frigate .Agincourt, by Messrs. Laird ; and a few ot'ao.r gentlemen, amongst them one or two naval of ricers. The ves sel, which was originally christened El Tousson, has had her name changed to the Scorpion since her addition to the Royal Navy list. The Scorpion is 224 ft in length on the water line, including the oft ram, 44-ft beam, and tuft deep, measurement 1,890 tons. Her sides are plated with 4in. iron plates, backed with 10in. of teak, and behind this the ordinary iron skin. The Scorpion has engines. of nominally 350 horse power, the cylinders being laid horizontally, and fitted with double pistola roads. The diameter of the cylinders is 56in. each, with 3ft length of strobe. The Scorpion is rigged as a three master schooner, and will carry a large spread of canvas, being fit to cruise anywhere. In the trial on Tuesday there were about 200 tone of coal on board, and the vessel drew 13ft forward and 14ft 9in aft. 1n consequence of the newn ess of the machinery and danger of dirt having got int o the bearings while the vessel was lying unfinished the Scorpion steamed easy down the river against the flood tide. The Rock Lighthouse was passed at 10,30 a.m„ and, going down the Queen's Chan. nel, the north-west light ship was reached at 11.15, a distance of 14 nautical miles, in an hour and a quarter. Afterwards the engines were put to a, higher speed, and with 201 b pressure of steam, an d the engines making 69 revolutions per minute, t'ae run between the Victoria Channel, Fairway buoy, and the Queen's Channel Bell buoy, a measured distance slightly short of one nautical mile, was run in 4 min.4o sec, or nearly equal to 12.237 knots an hour, a speed much beyond what was exTected when the vessels were designed. Two subsequent runs were made when the ebb tide got stronger. The first oect. k .-d 5 25 sec., the second 4 mins. 58 sec., mean time 5 min. 111 sec., or 11 6-10th knots per hour. The machinery worked with great smoothness, and not the ordinary vibration from the screw,which is 14ft diameter, with 3 blades. The vessel cruised about outside the banks for some time, and the facility with which she answered her helm was remarkable, the half circle being made at full speed in a little over two minutes. With six, men at the wheel, the vessel going at full speed, the complete circle to port was made in 4 min. 10 secs., to starboard in 4 mins. 45 secs., the vessel turning in apparently twice her own length. The vessel is steered with a wheel aft, and in action with a wheel placed between decks amidslaips, and protected by the plated sides of the vessel. There are two turrets, 24ft. in outer diameter, covered with blin. plates, and 14in. teak. Each turret will carry two 12 ton guns, or 300-pounders, trained alongside of each other, and served by the men from outside the lower part of the turrets between decks. Within th© turrets there will only be three men to each gun. The turrets revolve on wheels, the mile chinery being worked by four winches acting 011 a toothed rim. The facility with which the turrets were turned in either direction was admired by all who witnessed the operation. There :is a difference in Capt. Coles's principle of revolving these turrets and that adopted on the American monitors, be lieved to be greatly in favour of the former, the revolving machinery being all in the under pact of the turret, and protected from an enemy's fire. With armament and stores on boar& the Scorpion will probably draw nearly a foot mor e water than on Tuesday, but as the screw will be more immersed the speed will scarcely be effected. The armament of the Scorpion, it is expected, will 'be sent down to Birkenhead to be fitted on board, alter which an official tri,l trip will take place, and Ow capabilities of the vessel to stand lire satisfactorily In a month or six weeks the second ram, the \Vyvern will be ready for trial. It is satisfactory to know that the Eag!ish navy alone possesses such a class of vessel as Mitt —fit for dither harbour work or eceau cruising, and • having such a rate of steed at a emparative ex.pcn pethiiture of power. The limous Anteriokat monk tors are not so fast by several knots, and they are only coast vessels.— zoianehester Courier. Prisons and Prisoners. The average number of prisoners in the county and borough prisons of England and Wales in the year ending last Michaelmas was 18,806 (nearly 1,000 of them however only in custody for debt or for military offences), and the average number of convicts in convict prisons was 8,055. These persons came from a criminal and suspected class estimated at above 150,000, and every one of them while is prison costs the country between £2O and DO a year. They require a prison staff of no less than 3,654 officers in the convict prisons—one to every . six prisoners on an average— and one to every eight in the county and borough gaols, Excluding from the reckoning the debtors and military prisoners, 129,527 persons were in the county and borough prisons of England and Wales in some part of the year, those who were in gaol more than once in the year being counted each time. The prison records give but a meagre description of this army of bad subjects. Oi the 95,000 men, above 50,000 are vaguely styled labourers, and 6,000 more of no occupation ; but others are more distinctly designated-23,219 are classed as mechanics or skilled work men-4,322 factory workers-4,598 soldiers and sailors -2,53S shopkeepers and dealers-1,532 shopmen and clerks -251 in professional employments-1,164 domestic servants. Of the 34,487 females, 16,500 aro described as of no occu pation-9,176 charwomen, needle women, and labourers -3,46S domestic servants-2,596 factory workers-1,162 shopkeepers and dealers-68 shopwomen—S72 skilled work ers. Fifteen in every 100 of these were natives of Ireland, and yet in the p o pulation generally only three in 100 are natives of Ireland. Women, it will be observed, are not very much more than a third of the men in number—but that women, when criminal, are worse than men seems to be indicated by the fact that 42 in every 100 of the women in gaof in the year had been in prison before, but only 32 in 100 of the men. 1,173 of the men, but no less than 2,773 of the women, had been in prison above ten times before. 8,459 of the prisoners of the year—more than six in every 100—were under 16 years of age ; and doubtless many of the older criminals commenced their career of crime in childhood. But the proportion of prisoners under 16 con tinues to decrease, yielding to the efforts made to reform the younger offenders, in 1856 there were 12 per cent of the whole number, in 1860 8 per cent, in 1863 6.5 per cent. The ignorance of the class of the population from which the mass of these prisoners came is shown by the return relating to instruction ; 35 in every 101—more than one in three—could not read or write, and GO more only imper fectly, leaving only five in 100 able to read or write well. But in convict prisons, where the more skilled criminals are to be found, the proportion who come in entirely ignorant of reading and writing is much smaller, and very few leave a convict prison without having been instructed. A curious return has been compiled with care relating to the 512 con victs in custody in Pentonville Prison at the end of 1863; 370 of them, nearly three-fourths, were single men, but 65 of the number living in concubinage. Of their previous moral and religious status we learn that 302, three in five, were sober men, and 42 of the rest only occasionally drunken. More than half were attendants at public wor ship ; 109, one in five, regulars attendants. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A LADY.—On Tuesday forenoon a melancholy accident occurred to Mrs. Elizabeth Winlaw, wife of the Rev. William Winlaw, of St Mary's Church, Preston, Lancashire, by which that lady was instantaneously deprived of life. Mr and Mrs Winlaw came to Berwick on a visit a for tnight ago, and were resid ing with Mr Winlaw's father, a bouturake in Iligh-street. On Tuesday the Rev. Mr Winlaw left the house to go to bathe at the Greenses Shore, and a short time afterwards Mrs Winlaw, accompanied by her sister-iu-law, Miss Jane Winlaw, proceeded to the Magdalen Fields to meet him. They proceeded to a headland near the Greenses harbour, from which a footpath leads to the shore, and they were proceeding down the bank, when Mrs Winlaw lost her footing and fell over the cliff, failing heavily upon the reeks beneath. her companion raised en alarm, sad Mr 1:- P. Todd, dancing-master, and Mr John Brown, his, son in-law, being close at hand, proceeded to the spot, bat found that the unfortunate lady was dead. Dr. Cahill was also speedily on the spot, but of course his services were of no avail. Mrs Winlaw had fallen upon her back, her head striking the rocks, and death was instantaneous. Informa tion was at once conveyed to her husband, who was bath ing within a few hundred yards of the scene of the unfortu nate occurrence. A cab was procured, and the body was conveyed to the house of her father-in-law, win re it awaits an inquest, which will be held upon it. The melancholy occurrence caused great gloom in the town, Mr Winlaw's family being well known and highly respected in the town and distriet.-15COVitan.
