THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE DUCHIES.
BERLIN, On. 19.

The semi-official Proving of Corrapon'dess of to-
day, in an article upon the Danish question, says :
" After the conclusion of peace it will be necessary,
provisionally, to organise the government of the
duchies. Preliminarily, the administration will
be conducted by Austria and Prussia. The suc-
cession question will also have to be decided, and
for that purpose Prussia and Austria, with the ap-
proval of the Federal Diet, will convoke an assem-
bly of legal advisers. The statement that a pre-
ference has been shown on the part of Prussia to
the claims of one of the two Princes is either
founded upon mere conjecture or upon a policy
the tendency of which is foreign to that of Prussia.
The legal decision having been gives and properly
considered, as well as the general interests of Ger-
many, a final resolution on the subject will be
pseud."

CLERKESWELL.

Abraliam Handfurd, a man about 40 years of age, who
ducnbed himself u a labourer, having no home, was
charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt, at the instance of the au-
thorities of the parish of St. Pancras, with deserting his
wife, Martha }landlord, aged 33, and four children, Abra-
ham, aged i ; Wilham, 5 ; Martha, 3; and Elmabeth, 2 ;
whereby they bad become chargeable to the parish of
St. Pancras. _

From the evidence of Mr. Clunie, one of the assistant
relieving overseers, it appeared that the defendant's wile
and children were admitted to the workhouse on the 22.4
of October last, in a very destitute state. A warrant was
then obtained for the apprehension of the defendant, but it
could not be executed until that morning, as the de-
fendant kept out of the way. When be was apprehended by
John Hartley, one if the pariah constables, he was in full
work at Holloway, and when told the charge against. him he
said it was all right, he knew all about it, and would go
quietly. Although the defendant had been in the neigh-
bourhood of the workhouse, he had never once beeu near to
inquire after his wife and children.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—To what expense has the parish been
put by keeping the defendant's wife and children?
Mr. Chime replied that the coat of keeping, clothing, and
sending the children to school up to the pressat time was
1121. 19s. lid. From what he had ascertained there was not
the slightest chance of the defendant refunding the pariah
one farthing.
The wife of the defendant,• hard working-looking woman,
said that her husband deserted her in June, leaving the
family and herself in the greatest distress. She did what
eke could to keep herself out of the workhouse, but was at
last, from sheer necessity, compelled to go into the work-
house with her family.
Mr. D'Eyneourt— How did your husband behave to you
previous to his deserting you and the family ?
The wife said be was a very cruel husband, and bad
twice brought home • most loathsome but nameless disease.
He was in the frequent habit of going out with other
women, and neglecting her and her family. He bad had a
good business, but that be lost through his dissipated ways.
The defendant, a fat, hearty-looking fellow, said he left
his wife because she was always " sagging" him. lie bad
on several ocaisione had to sleep in the stable. to get out of
her way. His wife gave him leave to go away from her.
ALugh.)
The wits denied that she knew he was going to leave her.
Mr. D'Eyscourt sentenced the prisoner to one month's
imprisonment with Mud labour in the House of Correction,
and told him if he came again he would be sent for the full
period.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Ann Mararthy, in the service of Mr. Robert Lemon, of
the Crown Tavern, 3 and 4, Craobourn-passage, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with robbing her employer of some
spirits.
From the evidence of Mr. George Lemon, son of the pro-
secutor, it appeared that that morniog, about 7 o'clock,
while lying on the sofa in the bar parlour, where be had
placed himself for the purpose of watching the bar, in con-
sequence of money being missed from the till even morn-
ing, be heard the window of the room open, sod on looking
up saw the prisoner. She instantly retreated on perceiving
him, but ou going to her bedroom shortly after with a con.
stable, two bottles of spirits taken from the bar were found
In the prisoner's dress pockets, and on being taxed with
taking them she admitted doing so.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor (Mr. Robert
Lemon) said the prisoner bad only been in hie employ about

had been in his service. - - - - -

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE."

The Carlsruhe Gazette, the semi-official organ of
the government of Baden, publishes an article in
opposition to the English project of a Danish con-
ference. The journal in question does not admit
that this assembly should include only the Powers
which have engaged to maintain the treaty of the
Bth May, 1862, all of which, it says, are in
fact the enemies of Germany in the ques-
tion. Those Powers are not mediators, whose
counsels can be listened to, to prevent a san-
guinary conflict, so long as they shall not have
declared that their work of 1852 requires to be re-
vised or abrogated, and that Denmark undertook
engagements which she must fulfil to render the
treaty valid. That has, however, not taken place.
The Gautte is of opinion that the question would
appear under a totally different form if England
had proposed to discuss it in a European congress,
in which were assembled the different parties con-
cerned, as well as the States whose opinion is not
yet engaged, which latter might perform the part
of mediators. The Gazette therefore considers the
Diet right to reply to the English proposal by a
refusal.

THE DUKE OF AUOUSTENBERG IN
HOLSTEIN.

Some of the German powers appear to think
that the attitude of the pretender, the Duke of
Au,gnstenberg, will tend to thwart their own pro-
jects. The Vienna Gm. f. publishes, under the
form of correspondence from Dresder, a complete
indictment against the prince. It accuses him of
having tried to disturb, in a territory of the con-
federation, the state of possession guaranteed by
Article 20 of the final agreement, and of erecting for
a private individual a personal government, which has
not received federal sanction. Moreover—and this
is the offence which at Vienna will be pardoned the
least—he is reproached with speaking in the name
of legitimacy and of nationality, whilst lie relies ou
the agitating committee established at Frankfort
by the Abegeorduetentag, and is eager to obtain
the intercession of a foreign sovereign in au affair
which Germany wishes to settle en fainille.

lu Holstein the federal commissioners seek to
regain the authority which bad escaped them. A
telegram published by the Praise:of ,Vienua says
that they have received new instructions enjoining
them to tolerate no act of government ou the part
of the pretender, and no demonstrations which
wauld tent to anticipate the future decisions of
the Diet.

PARIS, JAN. 6.

The Coutituttonnel of this morning in an article
signed by M. Limayrac, upon the Dano-Germanic
question, refers to the proposition of a restricted
congress made by England, and says :—" France
will offer no impediments or obstacles to the plan,
but every day shows its iueflicaciousitesq, and proves
the practical utility of the European congress pro-
posed by the Emperor."

FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE ICE.

A Bridgwater oorrespondent writes that a fatal accident
hu happened at Bighbridge, in which three boys were
drowned while enjoying themselves on the ice, which broke
and let them into the water. .

On Sunday afternoon a young woman, accompanied by a
friend, ventured on the canal in the neighbourhood of
Devizes. The ice at once gave way, ►nd the young woman
was immersed, the endeavours of her friend to rescue her
being unsuccessfuL Three other pennos were also im-
mersed in attempting to save the drowning young woman
and her companion. Happily, however, all nee were
rescued, but it was some time before the young woman could
be sufficiently restored to justify her removal from a neigh-
bouring house to her own home.

Tun WEATHER AND THE PARKS.—Yesterday
may be considered to have been the commencement of the
skating season. The members of the Skating Club early in
the forenoon pitched their tents in front of the broad water
in the Regent s-park, and the ornamental water in Kensiorp.
ton-gardens, in both of which places the ice was firm and in
good condition, nod the number of skaters very consider-
able, while the banks were lined with a large concourse of
spectators. Amongst the skaters were several ladies, whose
evolutions were performed in the most graceful and pleasing
manner. Although the Serpentine was frosen over its whole
surface the ice was not of sufficient thicker:es to bear any
weight, much to the disappointment of the many thoussads
who visited Hyde-park in the course of the day. In St.
James's-park the ice was much firmer than on Monday, but
still far from safe. About one o'clock in the day, at which
time several hundreds were on the ice, about a dozen
persons were suddenly immersed while standiog in a group
watching the skaters. With great difficulty, owing to the
rotten condition of the ice, they were got safely out by the
Mame°. From this hoar until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at
least 50 persona fell through the ice into the water, but all
with the exception of two were got out within a few mi-
nutes. Two young men, who with great foolhardiness bad
ventured on to the centre of the ice, just below the bridge,
where it was marked dangerous. suddenly fell through into
five feet water. They cried loudly for help and the icemen
speedily arrived at the spot. It was, however, at leant
half an hour before they could be released from their peril-
ous position, when they were taken in an exhausted Mate to
the Humane Society's tent, where they received every at-
tention, but it was some time before they were recovered
sufficiently to proceed to their homes. The waters in the
Victoria-park, and at Clapham-common, were also largely
patronised by visitors. The barometer in Hyde-park stood
two degrees below freezing point yesterday afternoon, with
indications of falling still lower.

THE PREPARATIONS IN DENMARK.

A Stockholm letter says:

Warlike preparations continue here. Some few days
ago the King named a special committee, composed of three
naval officers, for the purpose of applying all recent im-
provements to the artillery of the Swedish navy. In
Norway, the war department has ordered that the vacancies
among the noncommissioned officers shall be filled up as
moon as possible, sou to be ready for any eventuality. The
Swedish government has purchased lead to the amount of
141,300 rixdollars (lfr. 40c. each) ; war stores for nearly
30,000 rixdollars, tents for 140,41,03 2i:dollars, 8,000 breech-
loading muskets for 320,000 rixdollars, revolvers for artil-
lerymen, to the amount of 40,000 ri: doll s, &c. The war
department has also mounted, within the last few days, a
number of cannon of large calibre on the Waxbolm Fort,
which defends the entrance to the port of Stockholm.

The Thigh!mkt, one of the most important of the
Copenhagen journal!, employs in its last number
the most warlike language, testifying the extreme
excitement which prevails in the public mind in
that city :
Denmark (it says) will support the war with all the
energy and perseverance in her power. We are well aware
that for our country and for our people it is a war to the
death. But rather than willingly yield a shred of our ter-
ritory to disgraceful threats, we will fight to the last for
the maintenance of our rights. If victory is not on our
aide, we shall at least perish with glory.

THE PROSPECTS OF LIBERTY IN FRANCE.

The bidipendatice Beige says :—" Our Paris cor-
respondent, who had spoken of the direction which
the imperial government hid resolved to impress
upon the public mind and upon public affairs in
regard to home questions, reverts to-day to what he
said yesterday, and adds that the government in-
tends to postpone all political reforms until the
promised material reforms have had time to make
their effects felt. This resolution is to be announced
to the chambers by the ministers, and to the public
by the semi-official press. There will be some diffi-
culty in making the nation welcome with patience
a postponement which delays for several years the
accomplishment of the hopes it has cherished, and
above all in making it share the conviction that these
long delays are salutary and indispensable. How-
ever this may be, we may conclude from these
statements that, unless accidents occur which upset
all calculations, we shall not see for a long time
any change in the personnel of the government, or
any modification in the present regime."
The following are the remarks of the correspon-
dent of the Independance Beige, to which reference
is made above :
I revert to what I wrote yesterday upon the direction
that the Imperial goverment is resolved to impress taps
the public rebid and upon public affairs is home ques-
tions. I revert to it both because the information I
repeated is well founded, and because I omitted to
*bow one of the consequences which must naturally result.
Every fresh concession of a purely political kind is neces-
sarily to be postponed. No reform is this sense must be
counted epos before a certain period of years—that is to
or, before the present Corps Ligislatif has accomplished at
least two-thirds of its legal term. 'co change of impor-
tance in the present rigime con therefore take plaos, it is
calculated, before the year 1867. This date will doubtless
appear very distant but if the nation can be filled with
the certaiaty that the promises upon which it has a right
to reckon will be realised towards the period Indicated, it
will wait without overmuch in:Tensor:it. The difficulty
will consist in finding the meows of inculcating
this conviction upon the country. This is pre-
cisely what at an opportune moment the seen-official
organs of our press will attempt after the Minister of Stets
ban indicated in the chambers the path of the future.
Thus, noises one of LIMO unexpected events occur which
upset the most firmly established plane, it may be accepted
from this time forward that, during the course of two, or
perhaps three fortlicemin maims, we shall see so modie.

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.-CHAMBER
OPERAS.

The little chamber operas produced last season
by Mr. German Reed, to take the place for a time of the
Reed and Parry entertainment, were so successful, not
merely as a stopgap, but as a permanent attraction, that
Mr. Reed has been encouraged to repeat the experiment.
Lest night two new productions of this character were given
for the first time with the meet perfect emcees - -one as
adaptation of Zit touch= pas la Reins, called The Sleeping
@CM, with music' by Mr. Balls ; the other a alight and
=ming sketch of French peasant life, called Too many
Coal, with music adapted from M. Offenbach, by Mr.
German Reed. Mies Poole and Mr. R. Wilkinson are still
members of the little and effective opera company required
to de to to such pieem, and they are now ably assisted
by Mies D'Fate Finlayson, Mr. Whiffle, and Mr. I. A. Shaw.
The whole entertainment, which has the merit of not
being too long, appeared to give the greatest matistaction to
a crowded nudism.

BOOTH WARS.

Mr. Janes Hays, tioliCelsti foedOf the George puhlie.
house, Gravel-lane, Southwark, and treasurer to the St.
Saviour's Lodge of the Blanchester Unity of Odd Fellow,
held at that house, surrendered to his to:egoism= for
Goal examination charged with wilfully misapplying the
sum of 551. 13s. to his own use, belonging to the society,
and refusing and neglecting to refund s same when de-
manded.
James Bailey, the secretary of the I , aid that about
six years ago the defendant became the landlord of the
George public-house, and was elected treasurer. It was his
duty to receive all cash paid in by the members every lodge
night. and pay all sick members and other demands made
upon him by cheque, signed by the weaklier; caner. Up
to October last his amouete were correct, and about
that time he became a bankrupt, and resigned his
office. As soon as he received his final discharge, and car-
ried on his business as before, be was again elected as trea-
surer, which position he held until July last, when be left
the public-house, and was deficient in the sum of 531. 135.,
which he ref used end bad neglected to pay, having misapplied
those funds to his own use. Witness pradnoed the books
of the lodge, chewing the defendant's signature* for the re-
ceipt of that amount, sad the deficiency now in dispute.
In cross-examination by Mr. Edwin wile= said that
during his bankruptcy the defendant paid the sick members
their money.
Mr. Woch7elt observed that if such was the cue he was
defrauding his creditors.
William Davis, of 14, Wellingtoe-street, Blackfriarotead,
said that he was one of the trustees to the lodge. He
knew the defendant.

For the defeue, Mr. Edwin said hie client had bees
ruined by the Chatham end Dover Railway, which peened
at the rear of the public-house, lied bad removed about 200
home', which for slimy yam bad bees iehabited by the
families of men working in the adjsceot factories. Among
' the huildiacs cleared away wan that of Menem. Watkins,
the bookbinders, who generally employed 500 workweek,
and we. the chief support of Vs* defesdent's house. Hie
client had been very mitortunate sines his bankruptcy, and
bad been afflicted with • serious illness which had ren-
dered him lame. He was willing to repay the mossy if
time wee gives to him, and never had any intestine to de-
fraud the society.
Mr. Woolrych observed that it looked very much likes
fraud. He obtained all this money alter his bankruptcy,
and converted it to his own use, well knowing that be ought
to have gent it seared for the society. He ordered him to
pay the 554 13.., or ore mouth'. imprisonment.
I Mr. Edwin asked if he would give defendant • tittle tiros
to get the mosey.
Mr. Woolrych replied certainly not—not one marmot, ea
he had had plenty of time already. He must pay the
561. 1.3 e., or go to prison for one month, which he °moldered
• very mad sentence for rosappropriating so large • sum of
massy Weapon to them poor people.

A previous application for release bad been refused until

and complained that the bankrupt had settled as action
for IV. without his knowledge. He wished for an

DISTURBANCES IN SYRIA.
. OONESTANTINOPLE, Anwar 24.
_

Disturbances have again broken out in the dis-
rict of Pays; in Syria. D4el4 Bey, son of the
Caimacan of the district, Mostik Pacha, who was
recently arrested by order of the government, hex
declared himself in armed revolt. Baia followers
consist of some two thousand mountaineers, well
armed and mounted. Their refuge is in an almost
inaceseible spot in a gulf on the sea, at about four
hours' distance from the commercial port
of Alexandretta, and has been rendered notorious
as the scene of the assassination of Mr.
Coffin, the American missionary. This rebellious
lair commands the roads from Marasch to Alexan-
dretta (Scandaroon) and from Adana to Aleppo.
These routes are now quite unsafe, and the com-
merce from the interior, which comes down to the
sea at Alexandretta, the port of Aleppo,
is vexatiously impeded. Mr. Skene, the
British Consul-General at Aleppo, travelling
the other day from Aleppo to Alexandretta,
to embark there on his leave of absence, had two
valuable horses stolen from his escort, although
protected by a strong force. These brigands are
not wanting in boldness. Even the town of
Alexandretta itself, where there is probably never
less than 4,000 bales of merchandise waiting for
shipment or conveyance into theinterior, is not free
from their marauding incursions. Aband of 30 horse-
men appeared in the town bat week and attacked
the premises of M. Derivaux, the local agent of
the Russian Steam Navigation Company, but as M.
Derivaux rapidly collected his people, and the other
European residents hurried to the rescue, the
assailing party were driven off. Since then Sureya
Pacha, the governor of Aleppo, has, so to speak,
garrisoned the town with 50 soldiers.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Sim 1
The Constitutionnel of this morning contains an
article signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, reviewing
the language used by MM. Rouher, Rouland, and
Behic, at the opening of the councils general.
The writer says :—"ln view of these manifesta-
tions of the ideas of the government who can
deny to the empire the spirit of progress and
initiative. In the restricted sphere of a depart-
ment, as in the wider sphere of state, we find the
imperial policy animated by the desire of most
completely and surely developing principles in
which we discover the same thought of giving to
France all the benefits of progress and saving her
from all excesses of revolution."

PRUSSIAN AND AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE.
BERLIN, SM. 1.

The semi-official Prorinziat Correspntdenz of to-
day, in an article on the visit of the King of
Prussia to Vienna, says :
" The Austrian and Prussian sovereigns are desi-
rous of maintaining true friendship towards each
other as allies, being convinced that not only their
own States but the whole of Germany will thereby
be benefited, while on the one hand Austria will
have no cause to regard with jealousy the increase
of power obtained by Prussia through her future
relations with Sleswig-Holstein ; on the other hand
it will require no effort for Prussia to support Aus-
tria iu the fulfilment of her mission as a German
power in the south and south-east of Europe."
The writer concludes by observing that the set-
tlement of the future commercial relations between
Austria and Prussia cannot be supposed to depend
upon the fulfilment of certain political conditions.

Hrs. J. Sullivan, mother of the deceased, deposed that

named William Willman, came about the place to keep her
company. But though deceased was very fond of him the
family forbade him the house, as he never would give any

Yesterday Was a beautiful day the continua-

net on the Surreylreued, Keeniagton-oval, including
many of the fair sex. Soon after 12 o'clock, the One Leg
side commemied the play by taking their second innings,
which they finished for 138, leasing the One Arm 120 to
get to wig. Time did not permit of the game being played
out, and the Ow Arm left off with 112, with one wicket to
fall, the game being left drawn. During the play the fan
and laughter crested was great, but the veterans seemed as
much to enjoy it as the spectators, especially when one
broke his leg (a wooden ono), and had to be home off the
field on the beck of one of his opponents. The children
of the Licensed Victuallers' School again attended the
ground with their bend.

The bankrupt was ilesWibedsOrilildmay-park, out ofa,
lsbinese, formerly a partner in the firm of Del Morgan,
and Co., Russia brokers, of Old Broad-street. This was
the sitting for examination and discharge. The bankrupt
owes 13,21ett., for which security is held for 2.650 i. The debts
are those of the firm with which be had been commuted,
and are most of them of old standing being contracted in
Ic:i7 and ls:V. The bud debts due to the firm were re-
turned at no less than ::3,7•271., nearly all contracted be-
tween 155,1 and . . . _

Mr. Aldridge appeared for the official &salines, and Mr.
Lawrence for the bankrupt.
The bankrupt examined, deposed that the partnership
was dissolved in 1)7. Both his partners had failed. One
creditor had a judgment against the firm for 3,0001., and
held property of 2.000'. The deficiency was caused by a fall
in the markets. He had only come to the court now, after
the lapse of several years, bemuse his friends objected
to seeing his name in the list of bankrupts. He
bad done no business for some years. In 1854 be brought
5.000'. into the concerti 1,4004 was his own ; the remainder
was given him as capital. His partners entered into large
speculations as brokers, but being let down by their prin-
cipals the resu!t was their failure. The partnership was
dissolved by deed, his ptrtners undertaking to wind up the
concern. He owed no debts on his own account. Since leaving
the partnership he had been supported by his friends. He
had no separate credit of any kind, nor any separate pro-
perty.
Alter some formal amendments in the balance-sheet, ths
order was granted.

military force of her own of any kind whatever.
The volunteers, her only nominal force, cannot be
got together for drill in the country, owing to the
thinners of the population, and when drawn from
the population of the towns they are allowed to be
of little military value. These people, as I hear it
said on all hands, "do not understand" the neces-
sity of a standing army. As a farming and
money-making people they are peaceful in their
tendencies and objects ; and if our government
will let them alone they will be peaceful in their
demeanour also, and continue to trade quietly with
neighbours who only wish to trade quietly with
them. G. 8.

havisg been raised on the part of the wood hone against
Land of the West (who came in first for thin race), on the
ground of his being incorrectly nominated, both as to
name and age, It appears, on investigation, that not
only was no age mestroned ia the original nomination (as
laid down in Rale 14), but further, that the bone was im-
properly described, both in the Racing Calendar and on the
cards of the day, as " Lord of the West, 4 yrs old," in
lieu of " Laod of the West, 3 fn old," thereby tending to
mislead, nod to invite the objection. In aeoordamie with
