tltri) itton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. FRANCE. The Moniteur F üblishes the following " communi cated " article:— " The protest of the Government inserted in the journals, on the occasion of a recent article in the Patrie, is likewise addressed to the article of the Constitutionnel of the 20th November. The French Government can not, in any manner, accept the responsibility of attacks directed against Governments the allies of the Republic." The article of the Patrie was against Russia ; that of the Constitutionnel against Prussia. Tne Constitutionnel has the following on the affairs of La Plata :—" Since the arrival of the Prony, which, as we have already announced, brought the GJvernment the new treaties concluded by Admiral Le Predour with Generals Roles and Olive, several journals have again discussed them. They are, doubtless, like ourselves, ignorant of the precise text of the treaties. Nevertheless, we do cot think we are wrong in saying that if all the modifi cations demanded by the Government have not been obtained, those which have been made render the acceptance and the ratification of these treaties perfectly posssible. In order to give more for e to their attacks, in the default of official docu me its, some organs of the Orposition press have pub liseed an inexact text, taken from the journals of Monte Video, and have grounded their remarks on erronegus information. Public opinion should not allow itself to be led away by a language dictated by passion, particularly on a question which so nearly concerns our commercial interests. The Govern ment has already sufficiently shown how jealous it is on the point of national honour, for every one to be persuaded that on this as well as on every other question it will know how to defend the dignity and the interests of the country. Since the day that fresh political complications arose on the banks.of La Plata, the face of things has completely changed; the French subjects who were established in the Uruguay have crossed the river and removed their establishments into the province of Buenos Ayres. According to the most certain information the number of those who are now in the Argentine Confederation amounts to nearly 25,000 ; on all the territory con quered by Oribe, the French population has attained the number of more than 2,000. There are, therefore, from 25,000 to 27,000 French subjects living under the laws of Roses and of Oribe. At Monte Video the French population does not exceed 2,500. To carry war into these countries would be to condemn to certain destruction the numerous Frenchmen esta blished in the Argentine provinces or on the Oriental territory subjected to Oribe. We are not of the number of those who wish for peace at any price, but when peace is compatible with national honour, and its conclusio❑ has for its object to secure the existence of important material interests, we shall always ad vise it. The Constitutionnel says :—" We were right in calling in doubt the exactitude of the intelligence, given some weeks back by certain journals, relative to the re-commencement of commercial relations be tween the island of Reunion and Madagascar. The rumour was no', however, absolutely devoid of foundation. It was founded on this fact, that M. de Lastelle, long established as a merchant in the coentry of the Ovas, had, for a certain sum of money, obtained from the Queen authorisation to sell, until December 31, the produce of his estab lishment. A certain number of traders and ship owners of our colony bad hastened to take advan tage of this authorisation, but the Governor of Re union M. Doret, put an end to their pr e p a r a ti ons , b y publishing a decree interdicting the introduction of goods corning from the ports of Madagascar occu pied by the Ovas. This measure was founded on this consideration—that such a market would be be neath the national dignity. The Governor's deci sion led to some dissatisfaction, but it is evident that, for the sake of a short intercourse of business, the future prospects of our relations with Madagas car ought not to be sacrificed. Since the last hosti lities, the French Government had not ceased to in vite the Queen of Madagascar to admit the incontes table right which we possess to carry on business with that island. To profit by the caprice which prompted tie Princess to accord to a simple indi vidual the position which was refused to the mass of the nation, would be an improper course for French commerce to pursue. France may consent not to exercise for the time being the sovereignty which she poesesses over Madagascar, but she is evidently boaLd to reserve her liberty of action, and not allow precedents to be established which may hercater be appealed to against her. In other respects, the letters which we receive from Relunion are satis factory." GERMAN Y. It has ben determined that the King of Prussir shall open the Parliament in person. A modification of the Cabin2t is dAily expected, as liaron Leaden h2rg h rcrused to sanction Manteuffel's policy, and one of the two must resign. Another complication of the Austro-Prussian ques• tion has arisen, which mly perhaps lead to unpleasant consequences. The Government of Brunswick has pro,test ed again. t ha march of Austrian troops through its dwniqions, and should Austria disregard the pro test and Brunswick appeal to Prussia the latter would be! round by treaty to interfere for the protection of Brunswick. It is rumoured in Berlin that Austria has offered fresh concessions. Sae proposes to delay the measures against Holstein and Hesse until the question' shall have been settled by the free con ferences. She also offers to dissolve the Diet, and to consent to a league of German states. The Cologne Gazette contains the following auto graph, and perhaps apocryphal, letter of the King of Prussia to General Radowita. It states that it has the document from a trustworthy source:- - " Sans-Souci, Nov. 5, Six o'clock Evening. " You have only just Nit me, my true and dearest friend, but I seize my pen to send after you a word of grief, of confidence, and of hope. I have signed jour dismissal from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, God knows it, with a heavy heart ; but as a faithful friend I have been forced to do still more. I praEed you before my assembled Council because you desired to b dismiss'd. This tells the whole tale, and describes my position more c'early than whole volumes could. I thank you with my whole heart fur your conduct as a kt iNister. It was a mast?rly and genial carry ing out of my thoughts and my will, and both my t Luogots sun my will sere strengthened and elevated uy your thoughts and your will, for we thought and Kilted alike. In spite of all our tribulations it was a fine time, a fine moment of my life, and I shall be thankful for it to the Lord (inivihomboth we believe and in;whom Ise buth hope) so long as I breathe. May our Lord God guide you, and in his grace soon again bring our paths together. May His peace guard you, encircle you, and inspirit you till we meet again. So much on parting from your true friend, " FREDERIC WILLIAM. To my Minister of State. G.nersi von Radowits." The Austrian army in Bohemia has been increased by large reinforcements from Croatia and from Hun gary. No change has taken place in the relative positions of the army in Hesse. The Prussian Zcitung has the following passage on Ole place in which tne free conferences between Austria and Prussia are to be held; there is at pre sent a difficulty in fixing it : " The Austrian Government, it is said, wishes the free conferences for the regulation of the affairs of Germany to be held in Vienna. Whether it has stated its views as merely a wish or a demand we do not know. Under ordinary circumstances the point would not be an essen tial one; in genrral, it is a matter of less consequence where measures are resolved on than what they are. But at present it is otherwise, and in our opinion the Government must decidedly reject this-proposal of the Cabinet at Vienna. " Prussia must in every rear ect claim a complete ecriality of ri g hts with Austria. Austria, accordin g to the constitution of the Confederation, was never the first power in Germany, in a sense that made Prussia the second. As little as among the fire great Powers of Europe, any one of them is recognized as the chief. Austria is one of the great Powers of Germany, Prussia the other—a position that may be stated reversely with out touching any legal point. The whole question is ose of co-ordination, and no one can prove that the Pre sidency of Austria is the former Diet of Frankfurt ever founded for her a legal preponderance. " Prussia has now given up the policy of the 26th of May (of the Union), which we always combated; but it cannot give way to any one proposition of Austria by which the preponderenoe of that state is conceded. If the conferences are to be really free, they can as little be held in Berlin as Vienna, and if the Cabinet on the Donau insists on the last condition, it is a proof that it is not in earnest in desiring an understanding with Prussia. As long as the two Governments are not :greed on the main questions Prussia must continue to 'TM, an not disar m till the conferences themselves have prod uqed a satisfactory result." Tha K pg of Bavaria has restored Colonel von der Tann, who has left the Holstein service, to his rank in the Bavarian army, with his former seniority. He has also appointed him his adjutant. Since the disaster at Frederichstadt Von der Tann's popularity in the Duchies sank considerably; and as the Bava rians are allied with the Austrians in the "Execu tion " .corps of the. Band, that wi.:l probably disarm the Hoisteiners. The colonel's re-appointment to a command in his own country is regarded very sus piciously. The Independance of Brussels says :—" We have fe w things to say to-day on the affairs of Germany, if j nut that we were right not to allow our conviction in the maintenance of peace to be shaken by the news which arrived yesterday from Berlin. A new letter from our correspondent states that an un derstanding between the two great German powers is nearer than is generally supposed. The difficulties will th en b e set aside , free con ferences will take place at Dresden instead of Vienna; the resolutions which will be taken will be submitted to the Diet, which will approve of them, but that will not prevent Prussia and her allies from approving of them separately, and from not consider ing the approbation of the Assembly of Frankfort as having a Dietal character. Thus it will be with other difficulties. They will be set aside, to the mutual satisfaction of the two Governments. As for the public emotion in Prussia, it is believed that it can be subdued. The Chambers are about to meet. In the meantime peace appears more than ever positive." We read in a letter from Frankfort of the 18th, published by the Cologne Gazette :—" The departure of the Prussian troops from the Grand Duchy of Baden is definitively decided on. To-morrow 10,000 men will arrive here, and take up their cantonments in the Duchy of Nassau. The 3d Regiment marches from this place to Giessen, and from thence on Wetzler or on Cassel, where eight battalions will be concentrated to-morrow evening, The Austrian troops which were expected at Hanau had not arrived this afternoon. Notwithstanding the charges which weigh on E'ectoral Hesse, the subscription in favour of the officers who have resigned still continues." The Constitutional Gazette, under date of Berlin, 17th, says :—" The Germanic Diet, after having dis used the reply which the Lieutenancy of the Duchies had made to its last note, has resolved not to again send M. Hammerstein to negotiate before carrying its intentions into execution. M. de Ham merstein will go to Hanover, whence he will enter Holstein with the Austrians. A report was current to-day that the police had prevented an attempt which was contemplated on the life of M. de Man teuffel. An individual has bee❑ arrested." We find the following, under date of Hanau, 18th, in the German Journal of Frankfort :—" The reiterated summonses made to the Superior Tribunal to enforce the use of stamps as a branch of the revenue not having led to any result, the Bavarian troops have just adopted coercive measures against the members of that body. This morning, by order of the military authority, 20 bailiffs were sent for an unlimited time into the house of the Director of the Tribunal, and from 15 to 20 men into that of each of the Coun cillors." A letter from Hamburgh of the 15th says that the Senate had received from the Prussian Government a request to mobilize the troops of Hamburgh. The Senate had refused.

DIFFERENT WAYS or DOING THE SAME THING.— " Pray excuse me," said a well-dressed young man to a young lady in the second tier of boxes at the theatre, " I wish to go up stairs and get some refreshment—don't l eave your seat." The sailor seated in the pit near his sweetheart, and disposed to do the same thing, arose and said —"Harkee, Poll, I'm going aloft to wet my whittle, don't fall overboard while I'm gone." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY _ EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1850. RIOT, ROBBERY, AND MURDER. LEEDS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—A fearful out rage by a hand of Irish immigrants has taken place in this borough, in the course of which a beer-shop was sacked, its inmates maltreated, two police• officers frightfully beaten, the arm of one br o k en , an d th e scull of the other fractured; and an inoffensive Eng lishtnan so injured that he expired in the General Infirmary at noon to-day. The names of the delin quents are John Haley, James Cratty, James Fallon, William Fallon, Michael Cantwell, Michael Marah, William Higgins, and a woman named Rourke. They have undergone two examinations before the borough magistrate., and now stand remanded until Saturday next. It appeared from the examinations that on Saturday night a body of men, armed with pokers, bludgeons, and other offensive weapons, It:arched to the Foresters' Arms, and finding it barred against them, broke the windows and did other da mage. They then proceeded in a body to Ball's beer. house, at the door of which stood a pony, and one of the ringleaders, named Hogan, who was armed with a heavy bludgeon, struck the poor animal upon the head and stunned it. Haley and Cratty, the one armed with a poker, the other with a stick, then forced their way into the house, and at once demolished all the china, glass, and other ar• tides in the lower rooms. They next raised a wild Irish cry, and in a minute stones and brickbats poured like a hail-storm through the bar-window, compelling the landlord and landlady to seek shelter in a corner of the room. Haley coolly drew out the money-till, and cleared it of its contents —some 141. or 151. Further damage was done to the premises ; then they retired, and met Policemen Storey and Musgrave, upon whom they made a furious onslaught. The officers were knocked down, were beaten, kicked, and jumped upon until they were to all appearance lifeless, and are lying in a dangerous state. About this time a man named James Rhodes, was passing along the street, in company with his son, a boy of ten or eleven years; three men stepped from the crowd ; one of them instantly flung a brick at Rhodes, which struck him upon the temple and knocked him to the ground insensible. He was conveyed to the infirmary, where he lay in a state cf unconsciousness until Monday evening, when he be came delirious, and continued in that state till noon to•day, when he expired from an extensive fracture along the base of the skull. Rhodes's son, and two or three other witnesses, swear positively to Higgins as the man who threw the brick that killed Rhodes. We believe a coroner's inquest will be held upon the body to-morrow.

THE DUKE AND THE STUDENTS. (From the Scotsman.) I sing a song of Atholl's Duke, Of Dukes the most imprudent, And how he quarrell'd in Glen-tilt, And tbrash'd each Cambridge student; That is, he would have thrash'd them well, And made them ne'er forget him, His will was good to do the deed— But then they wouldn't let him. These youths they travell'd down Glen-tilt, Not dreaming to annoy, sirs, And there they met a gentleman, Two ladies, and a boy, sirs; That is, I mean, they might have met A gentleman well•bred, sirs, And only this prevented them— They met the Duke instead, sirs. The Duke he stopped them on the real, And collar'd them quite tightly, And then, as there were ladies there, Address'd them most politely; That is, be would have been polite, 1 think, but was prevented— For that, you see, by Athall's brains has nut yet been invented. So, having caught them in the fact Of travelling down the Glen, sirs, He cali'd his gillies round about, And turn'd them back again, sirs; That is, he meant to turn them back, But then. what I'm a starter at, The students and the gillies too Walk'd right slap through it after that. So then they put the Duke in print, For a I men to remember, And now they make a fool of him, From July to December; That is, I mean, they laugh at him— Truth must be stuck to steady— They cannot make a fool of him, Because he's one already. Edinburgb, Nov. 11, 1850. FATAL, SOOTHING SYRUPS. Indisputable facts prove the extent to which this system is adopted. Walking about Manchester and Birmingham, advertisements of " Mothers' quietness," Siothing Syrup," arrest the attention at every turn. It is easy to perceive that the druggists are driving a good trade—that the quiet homes of the poor are reeking with narcotics. The report of the Board of Health furnishes some appalling facts on this head. In Preston, twenty-one druggists sold, within the space of ono week, no less a quantity than sixty-eight pounds cf narcotics, nearly all of which were for the use of children ; and the calculation of the quantity o f Godfrey's cordial sold i n Preston gave a weekly allowance of half an ounce to each family ! Ge nerally, Godfrey's cordial is mixed in the pro portion of one ounce and a half of pure laudanum to the quart, and the stronger it is the faster it is sold. It may be had at public-houses and general dealers', as well as at druggists; and on market-days the people from the surrounding neigbourhoods regu larly provide themselves with this " mother's com fort," as they purchase other household pro visions. About two thousand gallons of God frey's Cordial are sold in Manchester alone every year. Mr. P. C. Calvert, at a recent meeting at Man • chester, stated thit in one chemist's shop in Deans gate, two hundred and fifty gallons were sold in the course of a year, the same quantity in a shop, one hun dred gallons in another, the same quantity in a shop in Hulme, and twenty-five gallons each in two shops in Chorlton-on-Medlock. These nurses, to whom the children of the factory people are entrusted, are either laundresses or superannuated crones. The more they drug the children entrusted to them, the greater number they can undertake to manage. 'L'his consideration acts as a powerful inepntivo. to drug. That wholesale death is the result, is fully proved. Among the gentry in Preston, for instance, the average number of deaths of children under five years old was seventeen per cent.; among, tradesmen, about thirty-eight per cent.; and among operatives fifty-five per cent. Of every one hundred children born among the gentry, ninety-one reach their first year; eighty among the trading classes; and sixty-eight among the ope ratives. The vital statistics of Preston for six years' show that no less than three thousand and thirty-four children were swept away before they bad attained their fifth year, who, had they been the offspring of wealthy parents, would have survived that period of their childhood."—Dickens's Household Words. HITCHIN, HERTS.--A lecture was delivered at the Town-hall, on Wednesday evening last, by Mr. Courtenav, "On Periodical Literature." The lecturer commenced by stating, that it was a national question, because in this coun try newspapers first assumed character and importance; that its interest is general, as all admit its influence. He then traced it from its origin (the Roman Acta) through all its stages, to the present day; speaking in their order upon the first printed newspaper, the English lllercurie, by Queen Elizabeth's command; the Literary Gazettes (and why so called); the Mercuries of the Civil War, &c., &c. ; intro ducing likewise remarks upon the Spectator and Taller, the introduction of the Stamp Act, &c. ; and concluded with re marking that Queen Elizabeth originated newspapers, Queen Anne d, alt them their heaviest blow in imposing the Stamp Act, and that he hoped and believed that our gracious Queen Victoria would repair as much as possible the injury inflicted by her predecessors, by abolishing the impost. We were de. lighted to see such a goodly number present, and have no doubt that all retired much pleased with the masted man ner in which the subject had been handled. ( CO U 7t • Herald, Nov. 16. COLLECTION OF THE HOP DUTY. —On Monday, the day appointed for the collection of the unpaid moiety of the 14349 hop duty, an d f or th e remain i ng half of the duty of 1848, Mr. Browne, the collector, was in attendance at the George Hotel, Battle. The business was not particulary ac tive, though the amount paid on the 1849 duty was quite equal to the average of previous collections. Mr. Browne informed those Rho did not pay their 1848 duty that in all cases of non-payment he must fall back upon the bond given by the planters ; and in reply to questions from several par ties as to whether proceedings would not be stayed until her Majesty's answer to the Hurstgreen petition had been re ceived,he stated that he could not wait for that answer. At the close of the day most of the 1848 duty remained unpaid, and we hear that proceedings will be forthwith taken against the bondsmen by whom payment is guaranteed. ,Brighton Guardian. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. (FROM A CORRESPOIsDEN T ) HasinuaGn, Nov. 18.—Public suspense here is on the extreme stretch in relation to the mode and manner in, which the execution of the terms of the treaty between Denmark and Prussia, on behalf of the German Bund, shall eventually be carried into effect, and in the event of the Stattholders at Kiel re fusing to obey the summons which has been sent them, not only from Count THUN, the President of the Frankfort Baud, but now also supported by a similar demand, in confirmation thereof, by the Prussian Government very recently, to have their army disbanded by the 15th of December next. It is notoriously known, and such an act of non-com• pliance is very much applauded by the friends of the Holstein cause, that the insurgent Government of the Duchies have disavowed the power of the German Bund at Frankfurt, under the patronage of Austria, to make such a demand, assuming that Prussia alone had the right to send them any such orders, and to which they would pay any attention. It has, how ever, now happened that Prussia, from the powerful demonstration, made by the Austrian Government, in combination with that of Bavaria, to have an ulti mate end put to the present complicated effairs of Germany, and either to attain the fruits of a final peace throughout this extensive empire by force of arms, or by diplomatic arrangements, has thought better not to run the risk of an appeal to arms, but to endeavour to meet the demands of those powers, now forming the German Bund, in an amicable man ner. And hence we have within the last few days to record a notification from the Government of Prussia to the Stattholderschaft at Kid, to attend to the formal summons sent them to conform to the terms of a treaty for the pacification of the Duchies, which she had of her own accord, and upon her own responsibility, entered into with the Crown of Den mark on behalf of the said German Confederation, and which treaty has been, after a lengthy deliberation on part of the whole of the Sovereign States, rati fied by them. There remains, consequently, no fur ther excuse on the part of the Government of Kiel to refuse the summons sent them by Prussia, nor to expect any future assistance from this power to carry on their useless hostile operations, by which so many human lives have been sacrificed to their unjust pre tensions to deprive the King of DENMARK of the Duchy of Schleswig, to have in the end incorporated into the German Confederation, and the German Empire; for Prussia to take possession of ultimately, when it shall suit her aggressive policy to cause her warlike eagle to put its claws upon both Duchies in perpetuity, or else why has Prussia all along been acting so unaccountable a part, and why her repre sentative in London gives himself so infinite a deal of trouble to endeavour to persuade the British people that Schleswig belonged to Germany and not, to Scandanavia ? The policy of Prussia has been so evident in this instance, that otherwise she would have felt the shame of upholding such a state of useless bloodshed and waste of means in the unfortunate Duchies, which might have been employed in a better and a more upright and honourable cause long ago, and peace would have now been causing prosperity to the people, instead of ruin and misery. Germany has now had ample time and opportunity afforded her people, at least those devoted to the cause of Schleswig-Holstein, and sung and piped, and street-organed her patriotic national begging hymn quite enough (the " Meerumschlangen,") to keep the sympathies alive, and to raise the wind in support of those poor unfortunate victimized cripples of Idstedt, of the Messunde, and; Friedrichstadt. I say Ger many's patriots have had ample time allowed them by Prussia (and Prussian partizans among the mem bers of the •Bund) to have done all that they promised they would, and could have done, some months ago, and yet have left so unaccountably un fulfilled, in respect to the promises made to the Hol stein insurgents, to supply them in case of need, with men and money to carry on their military operations. The Germans may say what they please, as an excuse for this miserable and extremely shabby conduct to wards Schleswig-Holstein, in leaving their vaunted promises unfulfiled to the extent which has been needful for the Government to keep their army pro perly in the field. There have been some considerable sums, unquestionably, subscribed for the support of their favourite cause; but in proportion to the extent of the boasts and loud cries of liberty and justice, put forth through the medium of their one-sided press, in favour of Schleswig-Holstein among forty-one millions of Germans—individually, on almost all occasions, upholding to the skies the sacred cause in question— the amount which has been brought together, by hook and by crook, does, in reality, smell extremely of trumpery, or a "tea and turn out party." Why, our poor Chartist party in England have been known to have done more in two months in support of their own views, however they may have been thought in the wrong, than the whole of Ger many has been scraping together during six months and upwards, with the whole of the public press throughout it in their favour. Such is a fact, and no mistake, and yet Germans talk incessantly of liberty and justice for Schleswig-Holstein ! And what is now to be the result ? Why the patriotic army of the Duchies has been ordered to lay down their arms, or submit to a still worse degradation of having those arms forcibly taken from it by an indirect order from the Czar of Russia, using for his pur poses an Austrian army, one which has been employed during a period of two years in putting an end to all other attempts at reform at home and abroad—in Italy, Hungary, and Hesse Cassel ! It is, however, not liberty so much that the Germans comprehend in this question of Schleswig-Holstein as aggression against a neigh bouring power, whose welfare and prosperity, in a commercial point of view, they are anxious to trample upon, in order that they may obtain the greater bene fits for themselves ; for the Danish nation is truly free, enjoying all the liberty which the people desire, and consequently are anxious for peace and tranquil lity, in order to reap the fruit of good government. And as for the people of the Duchies who have an op portunity allowed them of speaking plainly their real sentiments, scarcely one among them who desires anything more than a return to the Danish rule in preference to that of a set of men who are employed for their own purposes in obtaining the future pos session of these splendid provinces for Germany, alias Prussia, as before hinted at. In the Duchy of Holstein nothing is now heard but complaints against the present unpromising state of things, and the con tinual demands for fresh sacrifices to carry on a war, and to support an army, which having promised so much hitherto, has performed so extremely little of what was expected from it, when under the command of the Prussian General WteessEN, it started on its valorous but unfortunate excursion to the Duchy of Schleswig, to annihilate at one single blow the Danish army sent to carry out the commands of its SOVERIGN, to support those who claimed the benefit of peace in lieu of anarchy and German uproarious misrule, which the Stadtholderate had introduced under the influence of Prussian sabres and bayonets, during a short period of its sway in that Duchy. Whereas at the present moment, in this Duchy of Schleswig, the people are not only not per • fectly satisfied with the Danish regulations, and the introduction of order and tranquillity, but are made to feel much less of the inconvenience of war than the usual miseries attendant upon such an awful evil in general inflicts upon a people under such circum stances as those now existing in that country. Even the Germans there, who were formerly misled by the representations of the party at Kiel, even to acts of the most flagrant malversations against their rightful SOVEREIGN, are beginning to see clearly that they have been led by the nose, and in consequence have withdrawn themselves from all f ur th er part i c i pat i on in the revolt ag a i ns t legitimate authority. The Danish army, consisting of an effective force of 35,000 men, without including the numerous sick from the effect of the typhus fever, which has been the usual consequence of a numerous body of men confined to limited and extremely close and damp quarters, is in a state of excellent discipline and high spirits ; ready at any moment to meet their boasting opponents wherever and whenever it may suit their intentions to come forward to attack them again On all sides their defences are well and sci entifically arranged, and every day they are making fresh additions to them in parts where the Holsteiners never dreamt of the like. On the other side the army of the Stadtholderate is in anything but a comfortable state, without sufficient officers to command their re giments effectively, and labouring under the pressure of a want of confidence in their general, which is, above all, so needful to insure success. Skirmishes are daily occurring along the lines of the respective forces; but- in most cases the Schleswig-Holstein troops have the worst of it, and in general lose a great many men in prisoners. A couple of days ago a party of between 70 and 80 men, and an officer, was surprised by the Dan es , a nd 42 men taken pri soners. The papers endeavour to conceal these mis haps as much as possible to their full extent, t but private accounts have given this fact too clearly o e concealed entirely. The press even attempts to deny the assertion made publicly in the Berlin papers, and republished in letters from Kiel, that the Government of Prussia had sent a demand to the Government of Kiel to have the army disbanded and reduced ; but there is no denying this fact, any more than that Hanover will not deny a passage through the country to an army of Austrians. The Prussian Government has caused the un fortunate Gefion frigate ultimately to be removed from the harbour of Eckernford, the scene of its dis aster on the sth of April last year, the effect of which has since been amply wiped off the score of Danish bravery by the battles of Idstedt an d t h e Mi ssunde a , w ell as Friedrichstadt. Thi s ressel has been demanded by the German Bund, and will possibly join the mud-lodged German fleet at Bremenhafen, at least so say the Germa n papers. T he Dan i sh Government having, therefore, now fully complied with all the points of the treaty of Berlin, may look forward with more justice to the permission to enter into Holstein with her army should circumstances fi.vuur such an operation, and the Holstein army re• fuse obedience to the Bund and Prussia, which it is said the authorities will persist in to the last. Great boasts are nla(le every day of what this army will be able to do in the winter season against the Danes should they only be allowed to advance over the frozen lakes and rivers for such purpose; and should they be disappointed in their sanguine ex of such an expedition, through frost and probable. snow, then they will have the consolation left them still of being able to say what they might have acc °ll " pushed had Germany not prevented them ultimately conquering the Danes. 111ost people positively believte pectations that the army in qn,stion only requires a hard fros 9 such as favoured the renowned expeditions of the Swedes in former times, to drive the Danes entirely be of the Duchies ; and not only this but to capture all th e islands belonging to this part of the Danish no; narchy ; and if they are told it is far easier to fig h , with sabres and biyonets, to rime and load, 10 spring, summer, and autumn, than in w inter time, they refer you to such former acts, o f which they are as capable as the Swedes of performing ! Of course, they suppose in making such extraordinary calcula quietly tions that their wee zel shall be at this time asleep beyond his entrenched Danneverke, and other points of defence, from such intrusive friendlyt visits. In one respect, it would almost be a "AV that they should suffer any disappointment in noakill " trial of their skill in winter, having signally been 1 1 °' presumption i t c r r em t s u um n ne a rp t , e t , iao o tni t d h g e o r e w s i sa autumne;o long that gaiti attempted st he nn in e h e o s e P r c i i f t ; lation often much further. way, and the spirit of specu- HEALTH OF LONDON .6 Or INGTHE (Published by authority of the Registrar-General.) 0, The mortality of London, which ruse, in its wee" sum, considerably above 900 at the end of October, xt when a sudden tall of temperature was exp eri e ence e nt , t has again declined, but only to a salad during the succeeding period, in which the therraoTe. s ter, as regards the mean value of its indicationF, bay nearly recovered its former position.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES Intelligence has been received ffom Hamburgh of the 19th. General Willisen had made another movement of his outposts, which, however, only ended in a skir mish, in which a few were killed and wounded on either side. The Statthalterschaft were firm in their determina tion to oppose any intervention of the Bund, and not a single Prussian, as our correspondent affirms, had left the Schleswig-Holstein army in obedience to the decree of the King of Prussia. The number of Prus sians serving in the insurgent army was calculated at between 4,000 and 5,000 men. The Gefion was still lying under a guard of Prussians in the port of Lubeck. The last dispatch of M. von. Radowitz to the Stathalterschaft, repeating the Prussian suggestion of a suspension of hostilities, has been published. He blames the Stathalterschaft for meeting the Prussian proposal by demanding terms other than those of a simple military truce, as the settlement of the political Farts of the question was in the power of the Confe deration only, not of Prussia. The Stathalterscbafc's reply is an assurance that they could go no further in the way of concession, and reminds Prussia that, as it denies the authority of the Frankfort Assembly, it is bound to resist any attempt of that body to interfere in the Duchies with a military force. ITAL Y. The Croce di Savoia of Turin, of the 17th, stops the press to mention a rumour, the truth of which however it does not guarantee, of the resignation of M. d'Azeglio, and the nomination of M. Collegno in bis stead as President of the Council. According to the same rumour, the Minister of Finance had de clared his intention to retire, and M. d'Azeglio had accepted the post of Ambassador at Paris. M. J. B. de Luschin, Aulic Councillor of the General Direction of Accounts, arrived at Milan on the 1 1 th. He is entrusted with the organization of the new system of keeping the state accounts in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The Giornale di Roma publishes an order of the day, d.ted the Bth, addressed by the new Minister of War, Prince Orsini, to ,the Roman army. In this document the Prince expresses his anxiety for the welfare of the country, and the most friendly senti ments towards the army. MADAGASCAR. By the French ship Industrie, arrived at Bourbon on the Bth September, it was reported that the con tract with M. de Lastelle was fully agreed upon. He is to have authority to export the produce of his establishments until the 31st of December, in consi deration of 15,000 dollars. In consequence of this arrangement, the Renaissance and Ariel loaded at Tamatave with bullocks fir Bourbon, and the Indus trie Kith rice and other objects. The Queen is, it is said, disposed to extend this privileg..: to the trade of the Mauritius and Bourbon in general, in consideration of a subsidy of 20,000 dollars from each of the colonies. This is a measure very materially affecting the interests of the colony of Natal, which has been for some years shipping bul locks for the Mauritius. The French ship Jeanne d'Arc, which brought mules from Nantes to the Mauritius, had sailed to Tamatave to load bullocks. The Nautilus and Xanthus have likewise been freighted to carry bullocks from Tamatave to the Mauritius. Notwithstanding these movements, the measure for opening the Madagascar trade is still in doubt, and on the 7th September the governor of Bourbon issued a proclamation declaring that the convention with M. de Lastelle for the re-opening of the trade with Madagascar not having been ratified produce from those points of the coast of Madagascar occupied by the Slovas, should not be received in that colony until further orders. BATS GO R. On Tuesday, the 19th instant, the Rev. John Phillips delivered a lecture on dissent from the Church, and Popery, in which the Pnseyitical doctrines professed by many of the clergy of the Church were reviewed with great learning, animation, and elcquence. After the lecture, the subject of the late Papal ordinances was touched upon, when the feeling of the meeting appeared to be:unanimous against petitioning, as being a course ieconsist , 'nt with Protestant pricpiples of te,leration, unless it should appear that the authority of the Quee❑ would be impugned. Though the night was ex ceedingly tempestuous the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, in which the meeting was held, was densely crowded with individuals of all denominations. Strong resolu tions were passed in favour of a free press, and pledging the meeting to render every support in their power to two local pipers, in the English and Welsh languages, which had always been distinguished by their honest and energetic advocacy of civil liberty and religious tolers.- lion, namely, the Carnarvon Herald and the Amserau. BROKEN GIRDER. Al 2 LONDON-BRIDGE. An argument against the exemption of the works of railway companies from the supervision of the official referees, has been afforded by the bridge belonging to the South-Eastern Railway, over Joiner-street, Tooley-street. One of the patent girders, it will be remembered, failed in October last, and the safety of the remaining girders being questioned, e3pecially under the circumstances in which, through the alter ation of the station, they will now be placed, Mr. Brunel and Sir John Rennie were appointed to in quire and report on the subject. The statement by Mr. Barlow; the company's engineer, that there were 120 tons weight on the girder when it broke, was questioned in our journal, and a doubt expressed whether the engineer could wisely test the remaining girders with half that weight. Last week the re maining girders were tested by placing carefully upon a certain defined space of the upper surface of the bridge, iron chairs of known weight. When 148 tons were upon the area the two girders broke. One, 42 feet 2 inches bearing, it is calculated, had upon it 67 tons 3 cwt.; the other 46 feet bearing 60 tons 12 cwt. In this experiment, it must be re membered, the load was applied uniformly all over the girder, and the road - construction, which is of considerable weight, was first removed. The outside girder, still remaining, has a bearing of 57 feet 3 inches, and is only of the same strength and con struction.—Builder. DEATH OF ME. G. WOMBWELL, THE MENAGERIST. —SINGULAR FANCY.—Tbe above well-known individuat died a few days since, but a short time after the melan choly death of his son. He left very singular directions with regard to his funeral, amongst which was chiefly not only that his coffin should be made without nails, but that it should be entirely formed of a portion of the timber of the Royal George, which he purchased about fourteen years ago and has kept ever since for that pur pose.
