DEATH OF THE ICINO OF DENMARK.

We regret to announce the death of his Msjesty
Frederick VII., King of Ilenmark, which took place at
the Palace of Glockabarg on Sunday afternoon, in the
s.'ith year of his age. His death was unexpected.
Toward+ the end of the week symptoms of erysipelas
manifested themeelves in the face ,• which, on linday,
mainlined • serious appearance, fever and delirium
having set in. In the course of the evening the disease
appeared to yield to medical treatment, and the King
obtained • little sleep. On Saturday, however, at
increased again, lipreading over the whole face, and
aceompanied with delirium. He did rant again rally,
but died abosl half-past two o'clock Sunday afternoon.

A telegram from Vienna announce, that the Courts
of Vienna, Berlin, and London, have agreed to the
propmal of a Congress on condition that it is confined
to the consideration of queltions at prevent pending,
and that only those States concerned in the entire execu-
tion of the programme are to sit in the Congress. The
authority on which this statement rests is not given.
it is, however, in acconlanoe with the impression
preceding in Park, where it is thought that Russia will
adopt a similar course.
The Danish Government has made • further come"-
Rion, through their representative in the Federal Diet,
in order to arrange Dm Holstein question. The conces-
sion is the grant to the Holstein Estates of the
additional right of voting the normal budget.
A short telegram brought from St. John's by the
Ilibernia confirms the impremion that the Confederates
had not boon dislodged from Lookout Mountain, for
advice; from Chattanooga on the 3rd meet. state that
from that elevated position they were shelling Hooker'.
forme in Look-out Valley. The &drifts from Charleston
o the lit represent the bonibardment of the Federal'
a. incemant, hut the result appears to be but trilling.
1:o1d was at 41 prem. at New York on the Gth.
Another illustration of the way in which friendly
cocietim got up professedly for the helmet of the poor
are managed 1170 brought to light on Saturday. A young
man Wag brought before • magistrate charged with
embezzling the funds ho collected for the Royal Victoria
Friendly Society, and wea committed for trial. In the
counte of the examination it appeared that there are
several curb mcietiea, which like the Royal Victoria,
allow their collectors 25 per cent. on their weekly
beaides • salary of Gs, a-week, and that
this society, though profeming in one prospectus to have
an &mitred fund of £lO,OOO, and in another of £2,500
only, had in point of fact neither the one nor the other,
their only bankers being the Puedoffice savings banks.
An application of • rather not.edial nature was made
to the sitting magistrete ut Clerkenwell on Saturday.
At • meeting of the shareholdero of the Strand Mush.,
Hall tit short time ago, a Mr. Hall, who was Crown
collector of taxes, aeted as one of the scrutineer., and
he mixed the proxies trndeniil for the directors, alleging
that they were illegal, es being unstamped. The Board
of Inland Rem nue wie applied to, but they denied all
reaponeibility for Mr. Hall's doings; and now the dime-
tors applied for a summons against Hall, to compel
him to deliver up the proxies. The ma irate granted
the applization.
A boiler explogion took place on Friday afternoon
the well-known chemical works of St. Hello', Glasgow,
the property of the If eNsr. Ternent. The cosies was
not ascertained ; the first intimation the workmen on
the premises had of the accident was the noise of the
explosion. Seven nice were injured, of whom two died
in the i-ourse of that evening, and but faint hopes were
entertained of two others.

In a collection for the Wesleyan Missionary Society
at Liverpool on Friday, upwards of L'7,000 was colleeted
in a congregation of about 110 persons.
The loyal Mint has just oomuienced • heavy coinage
of gold, which will occupy all the retources of that
establishment up to February. 18111.
TRUIEDY. •On Saturday night, between
• right and nine o'clock, a man called a cab at the Great
Eastern Railway station, London, and got into it with
a wenian and two girls. They hail not gone far till he
!stopped the cab, and desired the cabman to bring a pint
of ale, which the cabman handed in, and it was drank
by the inmates of the cab. On ranching Holborn-
bill the inihwus atopped again, the man got out, pro-
fessed to have an appointment, but paid the fare for
the others, and desired the cabman to drive them to
Westboume-grove. On opening the door to let then,
out the cabman was hotrifiell to find that the
ft•males whom lie hail seen enter the cab
in lull hinlth, were all lying dead at the button, of the
rah. The men is suppmed to have poisoned then, by
tnisiii•• prussic acid in their drink to. late hour
Monday night no clue hail been obtained to the identity
of the woman xml two children, nor is there any trace
of the whereabouts of thr suspected murderer. The
Government have °trend a reward of 1:100 for the ap-
prehension of the •uppmed assaasin. The imillest was
/Wirt OH Monday, out it was clearly elicited that the
victims hail been poisoned with tirumic acid. A man
answering every description of the supposed murderer
was apprehended on Tuoaday eveninz. On his
arriving at the police-station, E. J. Langley
of the detective polies of Scotland-yard, waa
dispatched to obtain medical assistance, the man's
retching having become more violent on the road,
The vomiting continuing to increase, he raid he thought
be was dying. And asked to lie down. This was cwt.
plied with, and the medical gentlemen then questioned
Iniu as to what he had taken. He replied, "I think it
was something in the glom which was not spirits." He
Afterwards pmtintiesl, "1 know what my wife died
of now; it's prussic acid, and it was in the house."
Again referring to his wife, said that her uncle had
given them 1:50; which enabled him to live without
drawing his salary, and he had not touched it for the
last eighteen months. Just previous to his death he
seemed to sleep and suddenly awake, when he said
"1 have had the most beautiful dreams—l want to
write—l am dying, and before I die I want to write."
Writing materials boric' been sutplied, he was
just able to write as follows, but could not sign it
" Mr. Jno. Cullock,—Psy to my wife the money due to
me, namely, ELM, due the 17th of September lad, and
the remainder due to me." He then said, "My ein•
player owes me In months' salary; we've had • good ,
niany rows about that. and I wish to leave it to my
children, if they are alive." Shortly after this he died.
On Friday Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey, hal an
Inquest at the Hose and Thistle Tavern, Londonderry-
road, Camberwell, on the body of the wretched man
Samuel Wm. Hunt. Evidence having been adduced at
great length, the Coroner summed op, stating that there
could be very little doubt that he died from poison ad-
ministered by himself. If they believed the evidence of
the two cabmen, it was dear that the woman and
children were poisoned by prawns) acid. The question
they had to consider was whether the deceased destroyed
the lives of the others while in • state of mind that
enabled him to know what he was doing, and that he
was ,teing prong, and also whether he took poison
himself, and, if so, whether he took it while labouring
under • fit of insanity, or whether he took it to Avoid the
punishment which he anticipated for theawful crime he
had committed. The law was clear upon Um point that
if he took ',Moon to avoid the con•equencesW his crime
they would return • verdict of fele; de. se. The room
was then cleared, sad alter a lengthened invertitgation,
the jury sgree.l to a verdict by • majority of 13 out of
That verdict Will fel., de se. The coroner then
Placed in the hands of his officer the burial order, at
the same time stating that a coffin was to be obtained
1111 quickly as poesible, and the body to be burled by
torchlight, in some convenient burial-place in the
parish, between the hours of nine and twelve o'clock at
night.
