SWEDEN.

STOCKHOLM. Jas.
_l4, Simon.

In the Diet to-day a proposal was laid before the
deputies from the government, entailing a complete
parliamentary reform.
It is intended that the Swedish parliament shall
henceforth consist of two chambers, the first
elected by the provincial assemblies, persons
only being eligible who are possessed of a consider-
able income ; the second by popular election,
with a low standard of qualification for the elec-
toral franc:bias. By the adoption of this measure
popular liberty and conservative intereste would
he equally balanoed.
The proposition was very favourably received.

THE RECENT tRO•FR FROM THE HOWIE OF

Jots Lawler. • labotti;r, waseitarged before Mr. Barker
with tempering with John Eaton, • silversmith, to effect
the escape of John Eaton from the House of Correction,
Coldhath-fields.

From the evidence it appeared that on the 11th of De-
umber last the prisoner Lawler wee sentenced to 14
days' imprisonment in default of paying a fine of 20c, for
being drunk end creatiog a disturbance. On the same day
• man of the name of Estee was sentenced to 21 days' im-
prisonment with hard labour without the option of paying a
fins, for an assault on the police. Whilst the prisoners
were in the cell at the back of the court waiting for removal
to the House of Correction, the prisoner Lawler agreed
to take 11. and answer the name of Eaton. This was
paid him, and when they got to the prison Eaton answered
to the name of Lawler, at ones paid the 205., and left.
Lawler, who said his name was Eaton, was detained, and
when it was discovered the trick that had been played he
still persisted that his name was Eaton. When the term
of imprieoament for which Eaton was sentenced bad as-
pired, Lawler was discharged, and as he was leaving the
prison be was apprehended on this charge. An attempt
wu made to apprehend the man Eaton, but as he could not
at first be found, the matter, so far as he was cocooned,
has been allowed to rest, and the police have relinquished
their erode to take him.

The prisoner. in defenoe, said he had made • had bar.
pin, but that be could not help, and he could do all the
imprisonment be should be sentenced to. He was pleased
that the man Eaton was not to be labia, for he did not
think it would be quite right that he should pay his money
and also get into trouble for dole( so.
Mr. Barker, in committing the prisoner for trial, said
that great are ought to be taken at the prision to prevent
• repetition of such an affair, for if not the most dangerous
thieves who were sentenoed to • lengthened term of im-
prisonment would be enabled to escape with impunity.

The concerts of this choir have gradually risen
to be one of the best and most popular musical entertain-
ments. The choir has been entirely formed by Mr. Leslie,
who has shown u much judgment in disoomaing and
selecting eteellent voices, as he has skill in teaching and
training them till he has brought them to a degree of pro-
ficiency surpassed by very few of the choral bodies whom it
has been our fortune to hear.

The 6r4 cormert of this season was given last evening at

days she started again, and the next place she
put into was Perniunbure, where she was to a

insurance was for a year from the 22nd August, 1860, and

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE

1 CONFEDERATE STATES.
‘We find the following bitter attack uponlEng-
in the Richmond Whig of Deo. 29:

,The grovelling and cold-blooded selfishness of the British
Ministry toward the Confederate States is fast engendering
toward that country a bitterness of feeling in this that
cannot fail to tell upon the future relations of the two
governments, and still more materially upon the basins:es
intercourse of their people. If we credit appearances, nine-
tenths of the British people are with us and for us, an
equal or greater proportion of the press, and a large minority,
if not a majority, of the ministry. Yet, so passive is their
sympathy, that they permit, almost without remonstrance,
those two old painted mummies, Russell and Palmerston,
to place the British nation in an attitude toward us heart-
lamely and cruelly unjust. There can be no doubt that thaw
who direct the policy of England secretly rejoice in the fact
that the late United States are arrayed against each other
in bitter strife, literally threatening the complete annihila-
tion of each other, thus relieving her of a powerful rival of
whom she lived in continual dresd.

As the Missiseippian says, they desire the restoration of
the Union less than any other event, and feeling that that
remit is impossible they do not wish to see the independence
of the Confederate States established until the people both
North and South are prostrated in strength, bankrupted
in finance, and disgraced as a free people. With ► hypo-
critical profession of anxiety that the war may man, they
have pursued the very course calculated to inflame and
prolong the contest. They have patted the southerner
es the shoulder saying "Bravo ! my gallant young lad, we
admire your courage," insidiously from time to time en•
counging our people to persevere, and recognition would
noon come. At the same time they heap abuse upon the
North, taunting her with her inability to whip the Southern
gamecock, only for the purpose of exasperating that see.
ton. They have acted the part of a brutal bystander,
losing no opportunity to intensify the hot contest raging
between two alienated brothers. They have a purpose to
gain in this savage and perfidious policy, and the wicked-
ness of the Northern people in waging an unholy war upon
the liberties of the South enables them to carry it out.
The Confederate States needed no encouragement to sti-
mulate them to the assertion and the maintenance of their
rights. They acted alone upon their own judgment and
convictions of duty ; but we cannot help revolting at the
inhuman demonstrations of the government of England.
London, England, 1863-01-15

We have beeen undeceived in regard to it. We judge the
English ministry rightly now ; and, next to the abominable
North, we have right to hate them more than any other
government upon earth. If it were possible that the old
United Stater, could be restored—an event for ever beyond
the pale of possibility—the English government would find
• wholesome and intense hatred for them both North and
South, which wee only *gunned by that which their bru-
tality inspired in the tenure of our grandfathers.
sThe fact is remarkable that Napoleon, to whose people
we are not connected by the ties of a common language
and kindred, and whose interest in the cessation of hostili-
ties in America is not one-third as great as that of the
English, should offer terms of mediation in the spirit of
humanity, the object of which was to gain an armistice,
in order that the effusion of blood might be stayed, and
the parties in the strife might settle honourably their diffi-
culties, and that the humane offer should be coldly rejec.
ted by England, whom we have celled oar mother. Even
Eau* from whom we bad no right to expect anything,
and who had nothing to gain, could not treat with iodif-
tempos an offer which common humanity so strongly re-
commended. The failure of the mediation scheme, if,
indeed, it turns out to be a failure, is attributable entirely
to the heartless selfishness and base fears and short-righted
polity of England, our mother.
The Confederate States will remember England in the
future. There was a time when she could have made fast
friends of us, but that time, we believe, is going by for ever.
We look upon her present government es little less corrupt
than that of the North. The conduct of her ministers in
our affairs has been characterised by sordid lust and base
teen. A threat from Seward will silence Earl Rued' more
effectually than the wails of the suffering poor of his
country. Treachery being the predominant characteristic
of both the Yankee and the English premiers, we are not
surprised that there is • mutual hostility to the South, and
perhaps a tacit underst►ndiog to despoil us of the products
of our country. Seward is by far the shrewder knave of
the two, sod his voice seems to be as potent with
Earl Bissell as it is in the cabinet at Washington. Cer-
tain it is that he has dictated, in the most supercilious
terms, the course which he wished England to pantie since
the establishment of the blockade and the recognition of
the Confederates as belligerents. Up to the consummation

of the latter event, the wily Yankee fox had not put hie
thumb upon the old English premier. Since then, how-
ever, the conduct of England has been dictated by Seward.
London, England, 1863-12-01

GREECE AND THE lONIAN MANDE.

We regret to bear that the Greek government
are still inexorable touching the cession of Corfu
with its fortifications intact, and that bL Triooupi
continues to decline to sign the treaty of annexation,
except on conditions which the pledge we are
understood to have given to the Austrian Govern-
ment for the demolition of the fortress renders it
impossible for us to accede to. We know not
what is the value of the declaration ascribed to IL
Tricoupi, that Greece can dispense with the lonian
Islands: while we should now find it very inconve-
nient to retain them ; but we trust that the good
were of the Greek Government may prevent their
representative from abandoning the negotiation
which he came to this country to complete.

GERMANY AND DENMARK.

Some of the beet informed continental journals
are of opinion that the grave character of the act
of the Germanic diet, in excluding Denmark, is
ranch lightened by the renewed adhesion of Austria
and Prussia to the Treaty of London, as neither
the diet nor the smaller states of Germany can act
without those two powers. The Prase of Vienna
now treats the subject in an altered tone, insisting
that strict non-intervention between the King of
Denmark and the Duchies should be observed,
alike by Germany and by other powers.
That the Duchies can of themselves separate from
the Danish crown no one seems to imagine ; for all
the towns and villages are at this moment filled
with Danish troops, and two iron-clad vessels are
ready foe emergencies at Hid. The recent act of
Austria and Prussia, however, does not exclude the
possibility of their taking part in Federal execution,
supposing certain conditions to be refused by King
Christian, and this is where the danger for the
moment appears to rest.
A letter from Berlin, in the Vienna Presee,
says :—" Yesterday (the 24th) M. de Bismarck
declared to Count Reventlow that Prussia would
recognise the King of Denmark as the Duke of
Schleswig-Holstein—that Austria was tending in
the same direction—that Prussia could not wait

any longer, it being neoawary to act rapidly, and
that she would, if necessary, take charge of the
Duke of Augustenburg, and put it out of his
power to do any mischief."

The Baltic Gazette announces that the house of
Meir and Co., of Bremen, have purchased for the
Prussian government the two steam-rams which
were built at Glasgow for the Confederates, and
which had been stopped by the English govern-
ment. The price was a million thalers. " The
news," says the Gazette, " has been received with
much satisfaction, for, with these two steamers,
there would be no moron to fear that the Danes
could blockade the German coasts,"

THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT AND THE

CONGRESS.

The Journal de Gradoe professes to give a correct I
account of certain negotiations which preceded the !
refusal of England to enter the congress. Accord- ;
ing to this story, the Emperor Napoleon, seeing
the "suspicions " of England, communicated
secretly with the King of the Belgians, who, in
accordance with the imperial wish, drew up a
programme, and sent it to the cabinets of London
and Vienna. The Austrian reply was all friend-
liness, but intimated that the feeling of
England should be first ascertained. Simul-
taneously with his communication with Aus-
tria King Leopold addressed himself to the
English premier, who, according to this Swiss chro-
nicler. entertained favourably his Majesty's propo-
sitions. But, on their being communicated to the
cabinet, Earl Russell opposed them resolutely, and
declared that, with or without a programme, such
a congress was impracticable ; and, as the noble
earl would not be a party to any such deception to
Europe, he was prepared to offer his resignation to
her Majests The Geneva journal proceeds to
relate that this resignation was accepted, and that
the premier addressed himself to Lord Clarendon.

The latter did not &nasally reply in the negative, bat
surrounded his acceptance with such reserves that Lord
Palmerston felt that on the lint difficulty Lord Clarendoe
would abandon him—that, like Lord Rummell, he bad so
confidence in the congress, and that there was every risk of
the position being unnecessarily &implicated. Cowman:illy.
it is resolved to maintain the :Wu quo, and this is why Lord
Palmerston returned to Lord Russell, whose retirement,
moreover, would have brought about a very grave minis.
aerial crisis, sham several of his oolleagues would have fol-
lowed him. It was in the cabinet council of Monday that
Lord Palmerston declared himself to be of Lord Russell's
apisios ; end therefore it was that the journals of Leedom
were able to deny the fact announced by the spatator al
the previous Ilatarday. As to the oourt of Vienna, the re-
edeti re England wee sent to it by telegraph ; and it has
been since probable that Austria, before mitering the com-
pass—if she egress logo—would surround her adhesion with
✓eserves which would reader her presence useless. It is
doubtless to these negotiations that the Belgian blondestr
alluded when it said in a late number :—" The venerable
King of the Belgium has played, aid continues to play,
with wisdom end moderation, and with an object mod.
neatly conciliatory, the role of inspirer and conciliator."
The Memorial Diploniatique says :—" Out of the
twenty sovereigns and Free Towns to which the
,letter of invitation to the congress was addressed,
nine sovereigns—the Pope, the Queen of Spain,
the King of the Belgians, and the Kings of Sweden,
Portugal, Italy, and Denmark, the Sultan, and the
King of the Chveke—have formally promised to
appear in Paris in person."

LOSS OF SIXLIyES.

A shocking accidenttook place early yester-
day owning in the Thrybergh-ball Colliery, at Kiln.
Karst, about four miles beyond Meriberougb, on the Mid-
land line. The accident was muted by the overturning of
the " chair" in which a number of the men were descent'
to work. The day hands, numbering about 240, meembled
at the pit's mouth at the usual hour, half-past 5, and the
underground steward and his deputies made their usual
examination of the mine. Everything appeared to be in
proper order, mid the men commenced to descend I. parties
of half-mclozen at a time. When about 1:93 of them had
been seat down a party of six men and youths, named re-
spectively Joseph Cooper, Andrew Batty, Errs Maw, /sue
Ashmae. James Bailey, and Reuben Cousins, got into the
chair. It was suspended from the sides by no less thou tit
chains, meeting upon a hook in the centre, which was attached
to the strong winding rope. The steward, Hr. Bailey, ma
superintending the deeoent of the men into the mine, and
be maw that the men mentioned above were all properly placed
before the chair was allowed to descend. 14e watched it
dimmed, and while doing so he was startled be a loud sod
horrid cry coming from out of the shaft. Instantly be
gave • signal to the eugineman, who was at his post, and
the engine was stopped. The persons on the pit book then
listened, but there was no further noise, and they soon
found by the state of the rope that the cage was " stark"
in the shaft. The steward and others went immediately
down the other shaft (the colliery has two), and on arriving
at the pit bottom they found the mat who had
the unfortunate party standing round the mutilated corpses
of the men. As far as could be gathered from the state
of the shaft, the moo had proceeded about 140 yards ia
safety, when the cage in which they were standing in
fancied security suddenly tipped on one tied, and they win
all precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, sot 101 than
150 yards below the spot from which they fell. One of the
men (Cooper) tell across one of the timber "stays" that
brace the sides of the shaft. His body was cut in two, One
half remaining on the stay, and the other falling to the bot-
tom. His head was also severed. The others were ea
mangled as to be almost unrecognisable, and it was found
neeemary to provide boxes to carry away their remains.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE
FLORIDA.

PARIS, Barr. le.
The Moniker of this morning says " Tbe
steamer Florida is not a privateer, as was believed.
She forms part of the military marine of the Con-
federate States, and her officers are furnished with
regular commissions. The Florida has all the
character of an ordinary vessel of war."

The languages employed by the speakers at the
Statiatical Congress, just held at Berlin, were German,
French, and English. There were present Englishmen and
Americana who understood neither French nor German ;
Freedmen who knew not a word of English or German ;
and Italians who could only understand French and Cer-
am, although in proportion few who knew nothing of
Preach or German.

The Monileur has a highly flattering article on
Mr. Charles Mathews, comparing that aeootoplished actor
to** best comedians of France ; and this is the nc plus

is;e7sTedWithmuclssurpri;e the letter la your
impression of to-day from the solicitors of a imposed Anglo-
Austrian Bask.

The embryo project above alluded to is, so far as we know,
simply a scheme submitted for the consideration of the
Austrian government, and should it be approved of it may
some day ripen into a concession, however meagre may be
its privileges.
On the other hand, the Imperial Royal Privileged Union
Bank of Austria, so named by the Austrian government, baa
obtained its concession for 90 years, and has come before the
public in a prospectus every statement of which we are
preamed to substantiate.
We cannot think that Masan. Birchiun, Dalrymple,
Drake, and Ward are justified in making use of the name of
the finance ministry as they have dope. They quote a tele-
gram, omitting the signature. as sent from the finance
ministry, thus leading the public to infer that it came from
the Minister of Finance, X. von Fleoer. We do not believe'
that M. von Planer has so far compromised himself as to
seed a telegram to be used—as we fear the telegram in 1
question has been need—for the purpose, if possible, of de-
hating an undertaking already sanctioned by his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor of Anstria.—We am, he.,
