DENMARK.
COPENHAGEN, 11 Ascii 24.

Fifty-five of the principal inhabitants of this
city, belonging to all classes of society, have invited
the inhabitants to a public meeting, to be held on
Saturday next, at the Casino, in order to disown; the
political affairs of the country, and to adopt resolu-
tions.

In the course of an hour after this invitation had
been published, the whole of the 2,200 seats in the
ball where the meeting is to be held were engaged.

The town and station of Agra, which have just
been visited by Earl Elgin, straggle for miles south of the
Samna, on which stand the fort and the immortal Taj
Mahal. Oa the plain, and on the very spot when ()seethed
and the Delhi column were surprised by the rebels and beat

PRUSSIA.

The Nord of to-day says :—" We are able to
deny the statement that a Russian corps d'arni‘e
had entered the Prussian territory. The Prussian
ambassador asked for particulars on the sub-
ject from his government and has received a reply
that the news was incorrect. We can guarantee
the authenticity of these statements."

AUSTRIA.

PRINCE METTERN IC H'S MISSION.

We find in the semi-official journal of Vienna,
the Prase, the following interesting article :

Rumours of all kinds, and some of them very interest-
ing, are being circulated in diplomatic circles respecting
the report which Prince Metternich made on his arrival
at Vienna upon the situation at Paris. First, they tell us
that Prince Metternich spoke of the desire which 'the
Emperor of the French and kf . Dronyn de Lbuys have ex.
pressed in the most lively and seductive terms for a *loser
alliance between Austria and France. Everything invites
to this—not only the Polish question, but the Italian and,
especially, the Roman question,which can only be regulated
in a definitive way by an understanding between Austria and
France. The latter hopes that in pining Austria
she will also gain England, and that then would be
found a truly stable basis for the maintenance of European
peace. There ought to be no anxiety at Vienna upon the
Polish question ; however it may be settled, Austria can
lose nothing. If matters arrive at the point that the
Allied Powers must take into (*moderation the re-

eonstitutiou of a Polish kingdom independent of
Rule, France will so arrange that Austria can ex-
change Galicia against the Danubian Principalities.
Sorb are the sort of things which are related in ooenexion
with the departure of oar ambassador from Paris; and if
they are trim the astonishment which they cause may be
imagined. It is added that when Prime Metternich had
been received with Count de Hochberg by the Emperor
and had finished his story, a reply was given
to him to the effect that Austria would be
ready to accede in principle to the prootiedinse of
the Western Powers from the moment that those powers
are agreed as to those proceedings. "We do not see," it
was said to M. Metternich, " what puttees would be
served by identical proceedings of Austria and
the Western Powers in the Polish imeetior. if there
were not behind her an army to force Russia
to consent to the demands. We can well understand
war which is made to obtain something, to conquer a pro-
vince as Franca did in IW, against Austria, but the latter
could not be asked to make war to lose a province."

The Vienna journals state that the Austrian
ambassador at St. Petersburg, Count de Thun, is
about shortly to leave that capital, and that
Austria will be represented only by a simple charge
d'affaires ; but it is denied that this fact has any
serious character.

BOW-STREET.

Gerrard Entating, riOtitioTaboii 18 years of age, who
gave his address 20. New-street, Ooventirarden, and said he
was a tailor, via charged with stabbing his brother, Edwin
Erecting, a boy of about 12.
The complainant deposed—l am a bootroaker, and live
with my father, Gerrard Resisting, at 20, New-street. The
prisoner dote not live with tie, though he has given that
addicts. On Saturday he came to our house sod asked for
something to eat. We did not choose to give it to him, and
he made arow. With the help of a constable we got him
away. About an hour alter he came back and got in
through the window. We bad a quarrel and he stabbed
me with a knife. (A pocket-knife was here produced by the
constable.) Tbat is the knife. It went through my clothes
and cut me in the side.

Hargraves, 167 F, took the priaoner in custody. The
surgeon at the hospital said the wound was not serious,
though it would have been so but that the rib stopped the
knife and prevented it from penetrating deeper.
The prisoner, who said be was so excited he hardly knew
what he wu doing, was remanded for further examination.
London, England, 1863-03-24

The mob conducted themselves in the same disorderly
manner as at Ashton and Dukinfield. They attacked
the shop of Mr. William Gress, in Market-street, and
having obtained an entrance, Mr. Green, seeing that
resistance was perfectly useless, gave them whatever
they clamoured for. At this time—two o'clock—
there were only five policemen in the town. They hastened
to the shop and succeeded io closing the doors, locking five
men in the shop. The mob paused on without attempting a
rescue, but there is little doubt that the men would have
been set at liberty had it been helmsman known that any
were confioed. Sixty special constables were at once sworn
in, and thus escorted the police proceeded to Mr. Green's
shoo shortly after four o'clock, and secured the men who
were locked in. Lathe meantime the mob had gone into Ne w-
ton-street, where they entered Mr. 51. Bradley's shop, and
carried away a quantity of provisions of various kinds ;
also a large number of cigars. The five men who were ap-
prehended in Mr. Green's 'hop were brought before a bench
of magistrates, of which Mr. John Bidebottom was the
chairman, at the police station. They were charged with
rioting and felony. None of the prisoners are natives of
Hyde, and only one of the number is an Irishman. Mr.
Green was examined, and he stated that the
mob, of which the prisoners formed a portion,
had taken from his shop 150 loaves, 10 hams,
and a quantity of other articles and provisions.
Mr. Little, the deputy chief constable, gave evidence to
connect the prisoners with the riotous proceedings that had
taken place at Dukiofield. The prisoners, who offered no
defence, were committed to the assizes. Three other men,
two of whom were Irishmen, were next charged with riotous
behsviourand assaulting the police. Evidence was adduced to
show that the prisoners were among the crowd when atones
were thrown at the police while the other men were being
taken to the police station, and that each of them threw
atones. Mr. Little said that be did not wub to pros the
charge against these men if they would undertake to
return to their homes, and guarantee that they would
not again mix with the mob. The Rev. J. Hill, Roman
catholic priest, spoke in favourable terms of the ge-
neral good conduct of two of the prisoners, and stated
that it was his intention, during the remainder of the
treeing, to use his influence among those in the streets,
had prevail upon them to keep order. The Chairmen
said if the prisoners would give the required promise,
they would be discharged. The prisoners eagerly accepted
Mr. Little's terms, and they were discharged. While the
prisoners were under examination, memos were sent to
the neighbouring towns, asking for more police, and about
seven o'clock nineteen constables arrived, all of whom,
together with the five already mentioned, were armed
with cutlasses. The streets were crowded, but on the whole
the mob were quiet. It was sot thought necessary to read
the Riot AM, or to seek seeilteSee from the military.

John Rose, 31, deecribed as a musician, was indicted for
stealing a purse and the sum of IL. 4d., the property and
monies of William Sentence, from the person of Carelise

Prime of Wake.
The jury found the prisoner
Lockyer, the officer of the Mouse of Correction, Coldbath-
Gelds, said the prisoner was a ticket-of-leave man, his last
sentence being penal servitude for 3 years, which term it
meant was unexpired. Before that he had been convicted,
and was well known as • thief.
Mr. Payne, in passing sentence, said there was only one
way to deal with such people as the prisoner ; and in the
interest of the public, as the prisoner haditalready been sen-
tenced to penal servitude and liberated before the expiration
of that sentence with a ticket of keys, it was hie duty to par
upon hint au exemplary sentence, which was that he be kept
in panel servitude for the space of ten years.
Rdward Smith, 23, was indicted for stealing a piece of
bacon, value 50., the property of John Maywood, a chand-
ler's shop keeper.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It was then proved that the prisoner was convicted of
burglary at the Central Crimioal Court in 1839, and see-
toured to be kept in penal servitude for four yeers, and that
he was liberated with a ticket of leave. There had been
several previous convictions against him.
Mr. Payne, after remarking that this was another cue of
a prisoner being liberated with a ticket of leave before the
expiration of the former sentence, ordered the prisoner to be
kept in penal servitude for 10 years.

THE FOREIGN OCCUPATION OF ROME.

The Opinion Nationale, alluding to the rumour
i put forth by the Nation of a possible evacuation
1 of Rome by the French troops, says :—" Every-
one knows with what joy we should see the French
government withdraw its protaction from a regime
which on every occasion signalises itself by hatred
of all the principles of modern society, and by its
hostility to all progress, not only political but
economical and industrial. Only yesterday the
court of Rome authorised Prince Torlonia to de-
molish a village on condition of paying 200,000 fr.
to the St. Peter's pence fund. Thus while France
dears forests and drains marshes, the caprice of a
grand seigneur in the Roman states, aided by
priestly cupidity, breaks up a population of thirty
families. We should indeed be delighted to learn
that such deeds could no longer be done under the
protection of the French flag. But we do not see
what benefit the Romans would derive from getting
a Spanish garrison instead of • French one. On
the contrary, we think they would be losers ; for
we are free to admit that the French troops, and
particularly their chief, General de Montebello,
have behaved admirably."

INQUEBT.-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon, at half-raft 12 o'clock, Mr. John
Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, resumed an inquiry
(after aa adjournment of two months), at the Sutton Arms
tavern, Carthusian-street, Charterboumosquare, Goswell-
streetrcad, respecting the death of Mr. Richard
Pearce, aged 40 years, who died from wetting
on the morning of the 25th of February. last.
The circumstances have already been detailed ia this

journal under the head of Worship-irtreet Pelieo-court,
where a female named Elizabeth Hartly appeared several
times before the magistrate u being concerned in the
violence inflicted upon the de:eased, who bud been drinking
in the vicinity of the Hiagaland-rdad, Shoreditch, with
several swellmobsmem,

The Coroner, in summing up, said he could not call upon
the jury to meet again. He therefore would direct their
attention to the chief portion of the testimonv,which prwed
that the deceased died from the violence inflicted on hie
person, and it was manifest that the men who attacked the
deceased were the companions or confederates of the female.
Some one, therefore, was culpable in the matter. The
female was at the present time in custody, and one of the
men who was no doubt connected with the cue was also
undergoing imprisonment. There was no doubt that the
ends of justice bad been frustrated, as there had been no
conviction or reward offered in ocionerioo with the cue.
The jury returned a verdict " That Mr. Richard Pianos
died from violence on the throat, indicted by some person
or ppeerrssooose unknown, who were guilty of wilful murder for
maliciously killing and slaying the said gentleman."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ELECTORAL INDEPENDENCE IN
PRUSSIA.

M. de Salderu, of Mesiersdort (Lus►ce),
Lately published an electoral circular, com-
mencing as follows :—" His Majesty our very
gracious King and master has ordered that
the Prussian elections shall take place on
the 20th, and has declared that the election
will not be free unless it falls upon persons who
will vote in the sense of his Majesty and his
ministers. The deputies chosen from our district
have voted against the will of his Majesty the
King and his minister's ; their re-election
will therefore be against the wish of his
Majesty the K;ig and his ministers." M. de
Saldern goes on to declare that he will dismiss all
the workmen employed on his domains who vote
against the King; that be will give notice to all the
tenants who take the same course, and that he will
have no further business relations with the trades-
men and artisans who vote for the opposition. In
spite of these threats the result of the election was
the nomination of 15 opposition electors out of 18
of the second degree. Amongst the three others
I figured M. de Saldern, who elected himself, because
he was the only primary voter of his class.

CLIJIIEN WELL.

Am Wenn, an elderly woman, was charged with steel-
lag a roll of flannel from the shop of Yrs. Jervir, ell sad
Italian warehouse, 111, Rentieh-to en-road.
Mr. Ricketts, of Frederickotreet, Gray's-inn.road,
attended for the pragmatical, and said that although the
property was not of much value, yet it was necessary that
the law should be whirred, as tradesmen suffered a great
deal from petty depredation/ of this sort. If the prismer
did not plead guilty he should ask the magistrate to send
the case to the sessions, and not to deal with it as one of
unlawful pommion.
From the evidence it appeared that polimeonetable
Ballard, of the 8 division, was on duty in Camden-
town, and maw the prisoner carrying "meeting con-
cealed under her cloak. Suspecting from her manner that
all was not right, he stopped her, and found she bad a roll
of home flannel in her possession. She accounted for its
possession by Mat= that she had purchased it, but she
could not tell where the shop was or what she paid for it.
He took her to the police-station, and she then pee a false
name and address. From ioquirim he had made ha had
ascertained that the flannel wee sale in the prociecutrix's
shop about twenty minutes before he stopped her.
The =met pleaded guilty, and hoped that the =em-
irate would deal himself with bar on account of her age.
She was a respeetable woman, and lived upon some property
eke let, and alio on some money arising from the fonds.
She had moved in mspectable society, and she could not
account for her giving way to an act of dishonesty. It
was her first offence, and in throwing herself upon the
mercy of the court she felt confident that she would not do
an in vain.

—lb.; magistrate said he considered this a very bad
cue, for It was plain, from the pristine?, own statement,
that it was not poverty or hunger that bad driven her to
commit an act of felony. He should take into con-
sideration the fact that the police knew notbiag against
her previous to the commission of this offence, and
should deal with her u if this was her first offence. He
hoped that the punishment he was about to infilet--vis.,
imprisonment with bard labour in the House of Correction
for two calendar months—world be a warning to her never
again to commit a disboaset act.

THE TORTURE OP JEWS IN BARBARY.

A correspondent furnishes to the Jewish Chronicle
• translation of a letter from Tangiers, giving the de-
tails of outrages perpetrated in Morocco on Jews, in on-
motion with the death of a Spaniels collector, who was sup•
posed to have been poisoned. The following is ae extract
front the letter :—"There are rumours to-&y in sal sad
here that it is not certain that the collector died from the

The journal contain no more provoking articles
against England, and the probability is that they
have been ordered to repress their zeal for the
moment.

The Bourse, after opening at lower prices than
yesterday, improved considerably late in the day,
and this notwithstanding a rumour that the publica-
tion of M. Fould's financial' report, which some ex-
pected to see in the Moaiteur to-day, is put off; in
order that the projected loan may be increased
from 300 to 600 millions. Rents rose 20c. for
cub and 25c. for account, closing at 66fr. 85c. and
66fr. 90c. ; Mobilier rose 10fr. Railways generally
have not recovered from yesterday's fall, but
Southern rose 12fr. 50c.

A return just published of French exports and
imports during the first ten months of the three
years 1861, 1862, and 1863, gives the following

These figures completely falsify the predictions
of the French protectionists that free trade was to
ruin French manufacturers.

The contradictions of the falsehoods sown broad-
cast by the official press, about the eagerness of the
minor sovereigns to attend the congress, are begin-
ning. The ()pinion of Turin says there is no
truth in the news that the King of Italy was going
to Paris.

The trial of Lieutenant Fleury, of the Volti-
geurs of the Imperial Guard, for the murder of a
washerwoman with whom he had an adulterous
liaison, came on to-day before the Permanent Court
Martial of Paris. The facts of the case were shortly
stated some months ago, at the time of the lieu-
tenant's arrest. It appears from the statement of
the prosecution that Lieutenant Fleury, being
quartered in the barracks of the Rue de Pepiniere,
made the acquaintance of a Madame Petit, who,
with her husband, kept a waaherwoman's shop in
the Rue de Rocher, hard by. Lieutenant Fleury,
not content with seeing his mistress secretly, was
in the habit of going to the washing roans
in full uniform, and having breakfast parties with
Madame Petit, her husband, and the laundry
The latter always called him "baby." One day
Madame Petit was suspected by him of having
another lover, and in consequence he laid wait for
her at the door, fired a pistol at her point blank,
and, the ball not taking effect, stabbed her dead
with a poignard. He then ran away, but imme-
diately gave himself np to a sergent de villa, and
confessed the murder. The eloquent M. Laohaud
is counsel for the prisoner, who is a cousin of the
well-known General Fleury, the Emperor's aide-
de-camp.

POLAND.

The buildings of the Hospital of the Children of
Jesus, a charitable institution supported by volun-
tary contributions, have been seized at Warsaw by
the government, all the inmates turned out, and the
rooms converted into offices for the employs of the
postal department, whose former offices have been
converted into barracks. The council of the hospital
having protested against this summary measure, all
its members, including their president, M. Pent-
kowski, a high official in the department of the
commission for home affairs, have been arrested.
The rigours of the government are now directed
against capitalists. Mrs. Daszkowska has been
arrested because 200,000 zlotys in cash were found
in.her house, which was, of course, confiscated for
the use of the Russian authorities.
