TO THE EDITOR OT THE Exritras.

Sts,—As an agriculturist of long experience,
venture to give the public my humble opinion of the malt
tax, which is simply the—remove the entire duty from
malt, but place a duty on ale—a partial remission of the
malt tax would not act satisfactorily. The expense in-
curred in collecting the tax according to the pmpose.l plan
of tb• Chancellor°, the Exchequer, would only be slightly,
if at all, diminished, and • greater scope would be given
for cheating and fraud. A peeper and judicious tax on ale
would materially assist the resources of the revenue, and
would act as a preventive against its improper use. I
would most certainly not recommend • reduotion in its
price. The wages of a hard working man are such as to
admit of his taking • pint of ale per day, at the cost of 34.,
and • man with due regiud and consideration for his family
would not go beyond the expenditure of this sum. I am
truly ac.rry to say that such is the predisposition of many
to tipple, in th• working.classee, that in the event of ale
being reduced in price to Id. per pint, the lame sum would
be expended, making a coesonaptioe of three pinta instead
of one ; the result, in most recipients, would be intoxica-
tion, and possibly an unhappy quarrel with his wife and his
poor unodending children ; and I would ask in what stale
of fitness would that mass be ors the following day for
doing a full sad honest day's work for his employer? I
clearly we the great and essential good a total abolition of
the malt tax well produce in waterloo with placing •
duty 01 ale. A certain amount of taxation we are com-
pelled to have, and much caution is required in the removal
of • tax from one article so that it may not have to be no-
on another, which might be more oppressive and
to the community at large.—l

GUILDHALL.

- -
John Alexander Gsllneore was summoned before Mr.
Alderman Finals by Mr. Keefe, • bill discounter, of 31,
Brewer street, Golden-squ►re, for that he did, on the 12th
of August last, comma wilful and corrupt purjury in • cer-
tain affidavit, made before J. Laney, • commissioner to
administer oaths in the courts of common law, in • cease
then pending iu the Court of Common Pleas, wherein Mr.
Gilltnore was defendant and Mr. Keefe the plaintiff.

Mr. Montague Williams was eouusel for the defendant.
Evidence was gone into clearly showing that the coin.
plalnant was applied to by a Mr. Babbitt to discount a bill
drawn by him dated London, Tani May, 1864, purporting to
be accepted by the defendant for the amount of 231. Bab-
bitt was examined, and acknowledged hi. signature, sod
also swore to seeing the defendant sign the acceptance ; he
also said that be asked the complainant to advance him
151. or 164 upon it, which was at once done. The bill, on
arriving at maturity, was disbunoured, and an action
brought against Kahhitt sod Gillmore to recover the
amount. On the 12th of August Gillmore made an affidavit
to the effect that he bad never signed soy accepteace
for 231., or any other amount. This formed the charge
of perjury. During the bearing Mr. Montague Williams
put Mr. Keefe under a severe cross-examination on certain
subiects which were readily explained, but which were quite
irrelevant to theme, and for which Mr. Keefe indignantly
censured him. Mr. M. William said be acted according to
his instructions. Mr. Keefe said that was denied by the
defendant, and he did not think that Mr. William bad
exercised a proper feeling in introducing improper matter
which was foreign to the OMB.
Yr. Williams then arces-examioed the witness Babbitt,
sod elicited that when he saw the defendant sins his name
it was signed on blank paper, and afterwards 611 ed in by
him (witness).
Mr. Martin—The affidavit says, "I never accepted a bill
for TA, or for any other amount," and from the evidesee
&tin by the last witness he has clearly not accepted a bill,
as he dried his Dame to a blank piece of paper.
Mr. Alderman Finnis toog this view of the care and dis-
missed the summons, as he couaidersd it was not a me for
that court.

Mr Keefe said he should then take it to soother, r the
are should out rest there.

We have this afternoon received the following
from the Admiralty :
"By telegram from Paris we hear that the

been forced by 16 vessels of war after three days'

RUSSIAN POLICY.

The Emperor Alexander arrived on Wednesday
at Potsdam, in company with the Grand Duke of
Weimar. The royal pair will accompany King
William and the court of Prussia to the grand
hunts at Letzlingeu, after which the Russian sove-
reign will set out to-morrow for hiy dominions.
He has not time, therefore, to preside at the
meeting of all the diplomatic agents of Russia,
which, according to a statement originating
at Paris, has been summoned at Berlin
to receive uniform instructions as to the new
direction which the Russian government intends to
give to its foreign policy. The Invalicle Ruse,
however, declares again, in a form which appears
authorised, that Russia has no motive for entering
into new alliances, and that she wishes to reserve
to herself entire liberty of action.

THE PEACE WITH DENMARK.

(aarrsa's IMPRESS. )
BERLIN, Nov. 1.
The following are further details of the contents
of the peace treaty :

It is quite untrue that the German powers have
diminished by 500,000 theism the quota imposed upon
Denmark, as compensation for the sum she is forced
to pay in lieu of the captured ships. It has been stated
that the Duchies would be charged with the payment of
pensions to all employia who have been dismissed
from their poste by the provisional government. This
statement is incorrect. Pensions have been ',signed only
to inch functionaries as shall be able to prove their right,
before the Sleswig-Holstein tribunals. All who have been
' removed for not having previously studied two years at Kiel
University, or for having failed in their duties, will not re-
ceive pensions. The Danish government is bound to return
to the town of Flensburg the Museum of Northern Antiqui-
ties, which has been carried away to Copenhagen.
Such archive' and other document, as Danish functionaries
have taken with them beyond the frontier of the Duchies
are to be restored to the towns to which they belong.
During a certain period after the exchange of the ratifica-
tions the inhabitant, of the Dacbies who may wish to re-
move into the Danish portion of Sleswig, and rice rerri,
shall be freed from all exit and entry taxes, and from all
customs duties upon their effects. The treaty, lastly, con-
tains a clause according to which no inhabitant of the
Duchies or Danish Sleswig is to be prosecuted for his acts
duriog the war.

Herr von Ablefeld, whom the Duke of Augusten_
burg sent here upon a mission some time ago, has
again put in an appearance. He is charged with
the care of the duke's interests at the Prussian
court. The chances of the Grand Duke of Olden-
burg to the succession in the Duchies have latterly
so greatly diminished that sonic amusement is felt
at the announcement that the Emperor Alexander
has declared himself ready to exert his influence
with the Grand Duke to cause him to renounce his
claims provided Prussia and Austria will accept the
conditions laid down by the Czar.

" My dear Sir,—The time has come for us to put into
the army every able-bodied negro man as a soldier.
This should be done immediately. Congress should, at
the coming season, take action on this most in.portant
question. The negro knows that he cannot escape con-
scription if be goes to the enemy. He must play en
important part in the war. He caused the fight, and
he will have his portion of the burden to bear.
We have learned from dear•bought experienoe that
megrims can be taught to fight, and that all who
leave us are made to fight against us. I would free all able
to bear arms, and put them into the field at once. They will
make much better soldier' with us than against us, and
swell the now depleted ranks of our armies. I beg you to
give this your earnest attention. With assurances of my
friendly regards and very high esteem, I remain, very re.
spectfully, your obedient servant,

•
This was a prosecution at the metope° of the Ex,iit
keeping an illicit still, and it came before the court
appeal from the Staffordshire Quarter Sessions• 11,
cipal question was whether a previous conviction
as a bar to the prosecution. The matter was argu,
ago as May last, and the court took time to c0u,..: .
decision.

The Bolicitor.f;enerel now stated he wu inetru:t, I t.,
ask for the judgment of the court.
The Lord Chief Baron—The court ere not entirely
upon the subject.
. . . .

The SolicitZr.General said he recollected there Ira. .
rently some difference of opinion amongst their lordst.ips.
The Lord Chief Baron—There was some bolt
minds of the court as to whether, after what had
the crown would ask for judgment.
The Solicitor.tieneral said the crown desired tL^;

the beet judges of what their duty to the public io
case prescribes, and after the intimation which has ju,t eon
made, the judgment of the court will be pronounced at r
earliest convenience. _
_

Mr. Baron Bramwell— I never bad any doubt of
propriety of the crown asking for judgment.
The Lord Chief Baron—The transaction itirolv 1 t'
violation of two different clauses of an act of •.i,
one of which was more stringent and severe that, ti.s
other. The crown bad already prosecuted under th,. n. 11r
section and obtained jndgmsut, and I think the dt.fet,lsid.
bad suffered in consequence, and there was
• notion that, though perfectly legal, it was not t..e ~rdi.
nary course to prosecute under two different sections fur ti.e
same transaction. But you have better means of ; I.l.crg
what course should be pursued in this case, and we at-
to give the judgment which the law requires. Cad,te.t..fly,
however, there is something in the more than popular
notioo that a man ought not to be punished twiuc 1.4 ...L.
stantially the same offence.
Mr. Baron Bramwell—That is a notion which I don't
sympathise with on the present occasion.

Great excitement was oocasioned yesterday after-

Large cootracts to erect new immoralist offices have

THE BIOTA AT COPENHAGEN.

Mr. PEAOOCKE asked the Finn Lord of the Tresswy if
there vas any truth in the rumour that serious riots had
arises at Copenhagen is opposition to the present sovereign
of Dearoark.

Viscount PALMERSTON—I have seen the statements in
the papers of to-day reporting very serious occurrences a
Copenhagen. We bare not only no sexmats bearing ad
those statements, but our latest advioee—sad they are very
late—entirely contradict them. It is quite true that when
the news reached Copenhagen of the retreat of the
Danish army from the Dannewerke, great dissatisfaction
was felt end expressed by the peopleof that city. Everybody
knows that it is busman nature—we haws seen, end may
again see examples of it before lass—(near,
that those " onion live at home at ease" are ever ready to
condemn the conduct of naval end military commanders,
who in the performance of their duties amidst great dangers
and pressing difficulties are called upon anddeely, and with
very little time for consideration, to take a decision upon
questions involving the safety of those under their com-
mand and the interviste and honour of their country. It is
pot for us to pronounce an opinion as to the minter,
grounds which led to the retirement of the Dania army
from the Dannewerke ; but the event did produce a great
sensation in Copenhagen, and there were riots in the streets.,
but order was soon restored by the police and the military.
We have therefore so roues whatever to believe that than
results which are stated in the papers I. have happened
'dually took plaes. (Hair, hear.)

[AN AND THE DANISH
PEOPLE.

KING

The Prance says :—" Advioes from Copenhagen
inform us that the Danish element will not on any
consideration approve the concessions which the
King is said to be disposed to make. Public opinion
looks upon Christian IX. with positive suspicion,
and, in some sort, forces the hand of govern-
ment and compels it to prolong resistance. The
Danish army with the new recruits, may, it is said,
be brought up to the effective of 60,000."

POLAND.

The Moscow News has the following :
. . •

Spring is fast approaching, and with that season the
revolutionists are about to make fresh arrangements for
ematinning the struggle. Those preparations have been
even already commenced, not only in Galicia and at Cracow,
but under the eyes of the military chief of the district of
Warsaw, and within twelve miles of that capital. Bands
are being formed at the very gates of Warsaw, and the
revolutionists go so far as to entice &avian soldiers into
their each.

THB DANISH QITNITION.

Mr. DISRAELI—In reference to the answer just given
by the noble lord, I beg to inquire tirst, whether what was
sailed a despatch the other night—a document which the
hones found very ambiguous, and which was treated with
derision by the noble lord the Foreign Secretary—is the
led and only evidence whichthe goverment poseseass of the
intention of the Austrian and Prussian governments to up-
hold the treaty of 1852. I wall also Mks the liberty of re-
minding the noble lend that he omitted to answer the
second question I put to him.
Lord PALMERSTON—This despatch to which the right
boa. gentleman ratan is the last official communication, but
I consider that It is complete is rapid to the ad oowledg-
meet of the treaty, said the maintenance of On integrity
of the Danish naoaareby. I was going to say that I had us-
intentionally omitted to answer the last question put to me
by the right hon. gentleman. We have certainly no guaran-
tee on the part of Austria and ?nods that they will eva-
cuate Slidrig whoa the meditation is revoked ; but we have
this assurance in our own minds, that they are two powers
who must think that their character for good faith is of
some value. The pencil, and the only ground, on which
they have entered Sleswig, and occupied it as a materiel
guarantee. was to obtain the revocation of the meditation
of November, as (sr se relates to Sheds ; sad I therefore
°dad help inferring that w►en that demand shall have
been complied with they are bound ia honour and good faith
to give up that oompetioe. (Hem, hear.)

LATEST 1/iTELLIGENCE.

THE EX-ICING OF NAPLES.

It is stated by the indipendance Beige that the
Austrian Ambassador at Rome has had an inter
view with King Francis IL, and has strongly urged
the latter to quit Rome provisionally. "This con-
firms," says the Belgian journal, " a statement
made by another of our correspondents, that France
would act through Vienna in inducing King Francis
to give up his residence at Rome. If in this matter
Austria has acted in this sense, it is because, with-
out denying the principles of her traditional policy,
she knows how to accommodate it to circumstances.

She will also have had particularly at heart the
object of taking from France the pretext of the
more energetic attitude which, it is said, the latter
power is ready to assume towards the court of
Rome."

A fortnight ago the prisoner entered the shop of Mr.
William George Washbourne, a ginger beer maker, at 15
minutes before nine in the morning, and west round the
counter. He was seen by Mr. Washbounies brother who
was in a parlour behind the shop, which he immediately
entered. The prisoner immediately said, "I want a Wl-
pennyworth of sherbet, if you please, sir." Mr. Washbowl*.
took the prisoner alongside the tin which he opened, and
missed from it Id. in half-pence. The prisoner took that
sum from his pocket, and he had a halfpenny besides in his
heed. Mr. Wuhbourne said he would give him into
custody. The boy then made a determined resistance, and
tried to escape. He was secured, and after the first exami-
nation be was remanded far a week. Owing to • mistake as
to the date the witnesses were not in attendance on the day
appointed for the second hearing, and the prisoner was dis-
charged. He was again captured by Police-sergeant Dods-
worth of the A division, who rid the prisoner had been
greatly neglected, him father cohabiting with • prostitute,
and his mother In a workhouse. The boy had been three
times in custody for robbing tills, and once convicted.
Mr. Paget convicted the prisoner as a juvenile offender,
and sentenced him to three months imprisonment and hard
labour.
