to have the means of informing themselves cor-
rectly, that the Danes will peaceably evacuate the
Duoby of Sleswig as they did that of Holsteir.
But the cases are dissimilar. Over Holstein the
Germanic Diet has certain rights, and the friends of
Denmark recommended her not to oppose the
entrance of the troops which were professedly sent
for the purpose of Federal execution. But over
Sleswig the Germanic Diet has no Federal autho-
rity ; that Duchy forms no part of Germany; and
the manner in which the possession of Holstein
has been abused in the interests of a Pretender
makes it the duty of the King of Dasiesas
to stand firm for the defence of the na-
tional sovereignty. Nothing is more certain
than that the Danes will fight to the lest
to defend the soil of Sleswig. Thus, according to
all appearance, we are now about to become specta-
tors of a war in which overweening ambition and
patriotism will contend to the utmost. It is of course
just possible that the German Powers may dis-
play • prudence for which they hitherto have
not obtained due credit. Neither can have any real
interest in provoking a war which can hardly fail
to become European. But judging by the facts
as they are reported it is difficult to see how peace
can be preserved. And when once • political war
begins in Western Europe it is impossible to pre-
scribe limits to it, or to foretell what States will
be able to stand aloof from it.

REJECTION OF THE ULTIMA:FUN.

COPENHAGEN, J. 19.

It is believed that the government returned a
refusal yesterday to the ultimatum presented by the
Austrian and Prussian ambassadors.

The Berlingske Tidende announces that the state-
manta of foreign papers respecting negotiations
with Germany rest upon a dubious foundation. It
mentions especially the assertion of the Frankfort
Europe, that the government was inclined to ne-
gotiate upon various points of the constitution,
and declares it to be entirely false.

THE DANISH RIGSDAG.
COPENHAGEN. JAN. 19.

The draft of the address was read yesterday
in the Rigadag (the special assembly for the king-
dom). It says :—"The house has seen with sincere
satisfaction the determination on the part of the
King to maintain the liberty and independence of
Denmark in face of the demands of foreign powers
for the withdrawal of the November constitution.
The task your Majesty has inherited from your
predecessor—viz., to securefor the Danish kingdom
an independent position in the whole monarchy—
will be fraught with difficulties, and may cost
bloody sacrifices. But they will be willingly borne
by the people to preserve the inseparable union
between Sleewig and the kingdom. We desire that
the German and Danish speaking portions of
the population of Sleswig may enjoy
the liberty which we possess. That liberty
and the good understanding between the men
elected by the people form the strongest link be-
tween Sleewig and the kingdom and between the
country and the King."
In replying to an address presented to him by a
deputation from the town of Ralater, his Majesty
said :—" In the event of a war for the protection of
the independence of Denmark, if all forsake me,
I hope for the support of the Danish people."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(TROY Ova OWN

PARIS, MOSDAN

The Frace, confirming the news that the Arch-
duke Maximilian is coming to Paris in February, '
says that he will be received is Emperor of Mexico
and with all the honours due to that rank. If that I
be so, I can only say that it will be in contradic-
ton to the Emperor's letter to General Forey,
dated Fontainebleau, July 3, 1862, which said that
"the provisional government would submit to the
Mexican people the question of the political regime
to be definitively established;" in contradiction to
Drouyn de Lhuys' despatch to General
Bazaine, dated August li, 1863, in which
he said that the French government only
considered the vote of the assembly of the
notables as " a symptom of favourable augury, a
a first indication of the disposition of the country,"
and that the provisional government had the fur-
ther task of collecting the suffrages of their fellow-
citizens at large, so that " no doubt should bang
over the will of the country;' and in contradiction
to the Archduke Maximilian's speech to the Mexi-
can deputation on October 3, 1863, wherein he said
that, however flattering the offer of the throne was
to him, his acceptance must depend upon the
" result of the vote of the whole country." It
would now appear, however, that the clerical party,
whose tool the French Emperor has made himself in
the Mexican intervention, are in a hurry, and despite
of all the above smooth and distinct promises,
think it more convenient to instal their Emperor
first, and trust to the success of the French arms
to get him voted for afterwards. If the Archduke
conies here next month with the title of Emperor
of Mexico, every gamin of Paris will laugh at him.
Yon know that the address was drawn up by
the Duke de Moray, and that to his Russian lean-
ings the following paragraph, which has raised
serious objections, is to be attributed, " We should
regret to see our relations with that power become
cooler."

In order to take the wind out of the sails of an
amendment which might stand a chance of being
carried, the committee on the address has been de-
sired to re-word the passage in this way :
We trust that the spirit of eoeclliation which mistake
the two Sovereigns may messed in removing all obstacles
to good relations between the two powers.
It is stated that the governments of France and
England have agreed to establish a common system
of night signals at sea. Captain Richild Crivel,
commissioned by the Minister of Marine, has
gone to London to arrange the details of the mea-
, sure with the Lords of the Admiralty.

M. Ronher, in the course of his violent and
irrelevant attack upon the republicans of 1848,

taunting M. Glais Bizoiu and his friends with
having made promises which they could not per-
form, has provoked the resuscitation of an old ,
speech of his own. A newspaper of 1848, called
the Journal d'lssoire, giving an account of a meet- ,
ing of a republican club, contains the following :
Theeitisen Rouher mounted the tribune, and said that
although be was only a republican freshly converted (what
was then called of the (endemain), be was convinced that '
the new ideas alone were capable of conferring happiness
upon his country, and therefore he supported them heart
and goal. He was for the fullest and most unoonditioaal
liberty of public meeting ; he considered the clubs as the
organs of the people's will and its best instructors ; they
were indispensable institutions of the country. His motto
was, " Everything for the people and by the people?'
It is to be observed that if Citizen Rather, in
1848, did not call for the liberty of the press, which
now, as Minister of State, in 1863, he thinks
"essentially a bad thing," it was only because it
existed to the fullest extent and nobody dreamt of
challenging it.
The Bourse has been heavy, in consequence of a
fall of }in Console. Bente fell sc. for cash and
10c. for account, and Mobilier sfr. •
The crowd of subscribers to the loan is, I be-
lieve, in spite of the crowing of the government
journals, not quite so great as it was in 1860. But
of course as there is an advantage to be gained, it
will be covered many times over. That result,
which the flatterers of the empire will use in sup-
port of their dangerous argument that the resources
of France are "inexhaustible," will always follow
so long as people do not apprehend an immediate
national bankruptcy. Although it is understood
that M. Fould's object in reducing the minimum
subscription from 10fr. of Route to 6fr., was
to prevent capitalists from dabbling in the
small gain to be got through the medium of men
' of straw, he has not now put it low enough. It
is clear, from the aspect of the unwashed men and
women now besieging the Treasury, that most of
them are hirelings, and not bond fide subscribers.
The door assigned to subscribers above 6fr., and
therefore liable to reduction, is quite deserted.

ML DARZarRA lf.P., OR 00270 W OUL7 URI IN
THR WAIST IRMO.

In his address to his consti.nents at Bolton, last
Thursday, Mr. Barnes, who had been speaking of the pro-
spect& of a supply of cotton, avid -" I havebeen making so
experiment myself in this natter. I have been trying
what can be done, and I am now • grower of cotton in the
West 'tidies I do not wish to data= you too long, but if
it would be at all interesting to this audience, sod to you,
Mr, 1111211 be glad to tall you • little of what I have done.
(Loud cheers.) There anode or two points connected with
is which I am sure will be very intertwine, to the audience.
I entered upon this speculation, if 1 may so term it, in the
first instance, from the impression on my own mind that
cotton UM are not doing their duty. They have not done
their duty, because they have not endeavoured to obtain
option as the production of free labour, in opposition to slave
labour. I know of no person ever having made the
attempt ; and in conversing with others upon iSryound
ni the universal objection wee, it would not pay. said
'lf you go into it, you will lose your money,' that
i seemed to be the great obstacle in the way of obtaining
fres labour cotton. What this country wants is cotton as
the result of free labour. Ido not want to see • return to
slave labour. (Prolonged cheers.) It is true our supply
from Egypt is little better than slave-grown, and the large
increase from Peru is also gained by slave labour; but I
want to see • good supply of cotton coMaig from a great
number of places, and all these to be places where free
labour is used. Then I shall feel satisfied that our supply
of cotton testa upon • sound and solid basis. (Cheers.)
Feeling thus, and seeing that nothing was being date by
anybody. I felt anxious to keep my own conscience clear,
sod to do something to improve this condition of things,
by making en effort for the employment of free labour in
the production of cotton. I have done it. 1 bought pro-
perty in Jamaica, and employed a person who had been a
• ot there for twenty years as my agent to work out
the scheme for me, and I am glad to say he fully enters
into my views end feelings on this subject of slave labour.
He is most anxious to raise free labour in opposition to
slave labour, and Be believes, sal do, that free labour is
really cheaper than slave labour. (Hear, hear.) I believe
we can have better workmen under a system of free than
of slave labour, and we shall prove this. I bought the
property and commenced to work upon it, and the first
thing we had to do was to fence the land round, to clear
away the brushwood, to cut down the trees, and burn or
destroy them. The land was so thickly wooded that this
wee • work of great labour, and its preparation for the
need was necessarily epode work. When I understood
the great amount of Moue involved in commencing L cos-
hed it somewhat startled me, especially after hearing so
much of the unwillingness of the negroes to work. Now
we have been told again and again that the black nevem in
the West lodise won't work ; that they are such an idle set
they absolutely won't work ; that they will do nothing but
liebasking in the sun all day over, with their black faces
tamed towards the sun like lizards—(laughter)—that they
won't do anything, not even work for money. Now
this was a most serious objection, and we had to test
its troth. We bad to fence 240 scree of land ; and let
aayb The
walk over 200 scree of Lied, and see how much
it ia. e land bad also to be cleared of trees and rubbish,
so as to receive plants eight feet apart. What an im-
mense amount of labour ! We ozennonoed in December,
1862, and as soon as the people were told what we were
going to do, 32 men offered themselves the first week, during
the neat fortnight 50 more came, and so the number in-
creased until at one time, including men, women, and chil-
dren, we had Z3O persons employed, of those who were said
to be oil y fit to eat and sleep. (Laughter.) There is •
great deal said about work in the West lodise, and of the
black man's character, which is not deserved. They are a
maligned, a slandered, and a misrepresented class of people.
(Loud cheers.) They are always willing to work for those
who will pay them. (Hear, jiver.) The truth is they
hare some of the cotntuen sense which prevails among
working men here ; for when • man works for
another and he won't pay, then the man won't work
again. My agent started on the system of paying once a
week on one given day, and he always (mid in money.
Now, that is not the general rule. The general rule is to
pay when you can, and some cannot pay very often, and
thee sometimes they will miffs ' meal or malt,' as we
say, and not in money. But this is not conveoient for
the worker. Their they sometimes delay payment until it
becomes • question of how much is dna and then follows
a dispute. They come before the magistrates, and their
decisions are not always satisfactory to the workers, and
the result of all this is that the worker, in selftbsteoce.
won't work for those who will sot pay regularly and in
money. We have observed the rule of paying once a
' week, we have paid in money, we have paid regularly,
and we have always paid the sum stipulated ; and the
result has been such that the agent has bad to reject as
many as 100 offers of labourers in • week. Now I think
that is a moat gratifying circumstance to state respective g
these people. It for ever settles the question
about the black people not being willing to work.
(Cheers.) They are willing to work when paid,
and when paid regularly there is no lack of labour nor
of their willingness to work. They are quite as anxious to
obtain the things we have as ourselves. The young women
there are as fond of fine dresses as are the ladies here. I
have heard • story of a lady who had mimed • female ser-
vant to work in the house, and she was astonimbed to find
that the girl had brought half a dozen boxes with her. She
inquired their pumas, and the young woman said, ' These
are my dresaea,' and site took out dress after dress—a
printed dross, • silk dress, a white dress, and other sorts
more than I can mention. (Laughter.) She had • dif-
ferent draw for every day in the week. Fashion rules
amongst the people there as wall as in Bohm), and the
females are equally desirous of obtaining nice dresses, and
are quite will to work to find the meansfor obtaining
them. (Chime) The result of twelvemonths' labour has
been that we have been enabled to inclose, cultivate, and
plant 210 acres of cotton, and my agent has sent me some
of that cotton, and when my remarks areooucleded you will
have an opportunity of examining its quality, for I have
brought some samples here. (Loud and prolonged cheers.)
And now comes the question—will it pay ! Aye, there's
the rub ; will it pay ! (Laughter.) Yon know it will not
do to grow cotton upon benevolent priocipke ; it will not
do to grow cotton on generosity principles. It must be
grown upon commercial principles. Will it pay! Laugh-
ter.) Well, I cannot tell yet whether it will or not, bet I
will toll you next year, if I live ; but as far as I can
judge I believe I shall be perfectly satisfied about the pay.
If what my agent tel me is true, it will pay. (Loud
cheers.) From some faits that have been ram to me, I
am astonished that the West India Islands have bees all
these years growing sugar, when they bare land the best
in the world for growing cotton; and vet they have
never tried growing cotton since they gave it up before.
For I must tell you that 40 years ago cotton was grown
there, but the materna heavy protection duties, protecting
the West India sugar, raised it above the market value,
and to make sugar everybody plucked tip their cottou.
Then tame Richard Cobden and John Bright, inoculating
the country with their free trade principles; sugar came
down to its level ; and then they found making sugar did
not pay, and as a consequetice of that many estates have
been given up altogether. These estates for ten or a dozen
yearn back have been lying se wildernesses. This I
have purchased is one of these ; it once grew sugar, but
now grows cotton. I hope the result will to to show that
even with cotton at the ordinary price it will pay better
for growing cotton than it ever paid for growing sugar.
(Hear, hear, and cheers). But whether it pays or oot, if
it is only the means of leading other people to the West
Indies to row cotton, and they find it pays, then I shall
have succeeded. I hope these particulars will have been
received in the mine spirit they hive been given ; and in
' giving them I hope I have cleared those poor blacks from
the reproaches cast upon them, and shown that they are
• maligned and misrepresented people, and not desert-
ing the glanders heaped upon them. (Load applause.)
Speaking of cotton culture in the Southern States of Ame-
rica, Mr. Barnes said :—I regret that the South hes not e
Richard Cobden among them to show that they are labour-
ing tinder a delusion respecting slave labour being essential
to their existence. A greater mistake no men ever lived
under. Slave labour is more expensive than free labour. I
have it upon the testimony of one who lies been is the
midst of slavery, sad has employed slaves, and he tells me
they cannot get able-bodied slave labour at less than the oust
of a guinea per week each, whereas I have able-bodied black
mem working in Jamaica at is. 3d. per day—(cheers)—men
who can work as hard as any slave, and perform it a deal
more willingly. How in it possible that • man can fail in
growing an article by free labour at one shilling and three-
pence per day against smother mau whose labou costs him
• guinea per week. The South are under a dolomitic, and it
would be far better for them, both morally and financially,
better every way, to have abolished slave labour long ago,
and bleed their slaves as labourers, and paid them as tree
men are and ought to he paid. (Cheers). They have bare
acting under this &loam, are sow fighting for it, and ere
canted away with it. It is most pitiable to see this delu-
sion carry* them to Seatrabdea.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Sittings in Basco.—(Before the Lad Chief Justice Cock-
burn, and Justices Crompton, Blackburn, awl Mellor.)
THE NUM:CHET= ORA= JURY.
Before the sitting of the court the ceremony adopted
every term of calling and swearing is the Westminster grand
jury (though happily in the present times scarcely ever
celled on to act) took place before Mr. Justice Crompton,
the senior plains judge of the court.
His lordship, in charging them, adverted to the death of
that eminent and excellent judge (Mr. Judie, Wightman)
whose duty it bad been to charge them, observing that that
duty now devolved upon him. They were called together
in pursuance of a very ancient usage, and might have very
substantial duties to perform. In former times, as they
found from history when those sad and pauifnl state trial
were so frequent, it devolved upon the grand jury of this
court to assist on those occasions. That jury was the only
one that could send ite presentment direct to the Court of
Queen's Bench. His lordship stated that in consequence
of the altered state of things, happily for the better, there
was now no haziness before the grand jury ; but as it was
an institution that might be again reported to, it was found
necessary to call them together.
The grand jury then withdrew.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
CHO99 v. CROSS. THOYAS INITHVINIIIO.—JUDGMEN'T.
This was a probate cause which was heard last term, and
in which one of the attesting witnesess swore that notwith-
standing the words of the attestation clause, the will was
not only never executed by her sister, the testatrix, but
that her ester was, in fact, dead st the time.
Probate had been taken out in the Prerogative Court, and
it bad been acted on for the last twenty years. One of the
brother Cross, who had latterly returned borne from
abroad, had assigned his interest under the will to Mr.
Thomas, who was the party, therefore, that had set up the
will. The jury found that the instrument was valid, not-
withstanding the disclaimer of the attesting witnesses. A
new trial had therefore been moved.
Sir J. Wilde baying gone at great length into the very
extraordinary facts of the case. came to the conclusion
that the jury might have had good reason for their verdict
—at alevines he conk' not say that the verdict bad been
against the evidence. The rule had also bees moved on
affidavits. These stated in the first place that from entries
in the diary of J. B. Cron, he could not possibly have
been at Cheshunt during the pretended execution of
the will as had been sworn by the attesting witness.
It was also proposed to produce specimens of the teitatrix's
handwriting. No reason bad been shown why this evidence
might not have been produced at the trial ; and it was con-
trary to practice to allow the production of additional evi-
dence wader the circumstance' of this case. The rule for a
new trial must, therefore, be refused ; Mr. Thomas to have
his coats out of the estate ; and Mr. Alexander Cross, the
defendant, to have his from the plaintiff, J. B. Cross.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

CLERKEN WELL.
A/1114MT IT ♦ CHURCH BEADLE.

William Howell, of 8, Seymour-place. Upper Holloway.
beadle of St. Jobs's Church, Holloway, was charged before
lir. Barker with unlawfully assaulting and besting Mr.
Frederick Wilford, a distiller's warehouseman, of 113,51.
Jolts-street, Clerkenwell.
Kr. Ricketts, of Frederick-street, Gray's Inn-road, at-
tended for the oomplainant ; and Mr. Thomas Wakeling, of
Great Percy-street, Clerkenwell, for the defeeoe.
The complainant dated that about 9 o'clock on the
night of the 9th Met. he was in the Crown public-house,
Upper Holloway. The defendant was also there, but he
was in another compartment to which he was. The de-
fendant saw him and came round mid said " you axe the
that sent that letter." He said he did, on which the de-
fendant said, "Yon knock your bead off for two
pens." He (complainant) then went out into the street
followed by the defendant, who again made use of brutal
laaguage. and asked him if he wanted to fight. He was
answered in the negative, on which the defendant made a
strike at the complainant's face, but missed that and struck
the complainant's hat with such force as to smash the
crown. He had not given the defendant tue least proems-
Moe.
In answer to Mr. Wakeling, the complainant said he was
Kober, and did not call the defendant name*. He did
not flourish a stick and in doing so knock off his own bat.
His hat was not toothed by the defendant by his holding
up his hands to ward off a blow.
Mr. Ricketts—Has the defendant offered yon compels-
illtiou if you would forgive these prooeedings
Complainant—Yes, he said he would give me a 'sovereign
and my costa.
John Welford, • nephew, and Charlotte Warner, con-
firmed the evidence of the complainant, and in cross-ex-
amination said that it was the defendant and not the com-
plainant that made use of bad and disgusting language.
Hr. Barker thought it would be better, as the
parlise
were relatives, that they should settle the matter amicably,
rather than that he should be railed upon to give a deci-
sine.
Mr. Ricketts; said that his client would not agree to
aces terms. He had come here to have the cam decided,
and decided it must be.
Mr. Wakeling them addressed the magistrate on the part
of the defendant ; and, after remarking that he considered
the course suggested by the magistrate the proper cos, ridi-
culed the ides that the assaults were of a violent nature,
and said it was doubtful whether one was committed at all.
After the feeling that bad been imported into the case, be
trusted that the magistrate would mark his sense of it by
dismissing the ease. The defendant was a poor man, and,
although he was deputy beadle of St. John's Church, Hol-
loway, yet be had to work very hard, sad got his livelihood
by laundry work.
Hr. Barlow said then could be no doubt that an smelt
bad been committed, and that the defendant's conduct bad
been fir from proper. He considered the letter that bad
been sent by the complainant to the defendant a very tem-
perate one, and there was nothing in it to roam the de-
fendant to sot in the foolish manner he had. He then
ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 10s. and the mete, or
default to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for
seven days.
The fine and oasts were immediately paid.

wounding • female, named Charlotte Nicholas, in Denman-
street, Goblenequare.
The injured woman was unable to attend.
James Ignatius Muller, • young man, living at 5, queen's
Head-court, Great Windmill-street, deposed that on the
previous of ternoon, while standing in Great Windmill-street,
he saw a number of person, collected at the corner of Den-
man-street, and • sort of skirmish going on. He went up to
see the canoe. when he heard the prisoner say to • young
woman, •• 'This is your game. It has been going on for four
years and I have caught you at last." The prisoner then,
having an open raw in her hand struck the young woman
across the eyes with it, and afterwards on the right hand.
The young woman, who bled profusely from her wounds,
was then conveyed to the Charing-cross Hospital, and the
prisoner taken tato custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said he heard
nothing more from either of the females than he had stated.
and that they were both sober. He understood the young
woman's name was Nicholas.
Mickleborough, 307 A, said the prisoner made no reply to
the charge.
The pruner said she had found her husband with the
young woman several times.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was sorry the prisoner had taken
such a mode of settling the matter. He would remand her

The husband of the prisoner asked whether the magistrate
would accept bail for his wife.
Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to do so.
