LiTNST IifTELLIGENCE.

afTISAL BY AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA OF
THE DANISH OFFER.

We regret to lawn that intelligence has been re-
ceived by her Majesty's government that Austria
and Prussia refuse to suspend or delay the lints/
of their troops into Bleswig.
The Morning Post observes :
The dangle of an armed collision in thus rapidly
approaching, and the Eyrie: at once monies the ,m-
-parka., which, on similar °cession% was attributed to
the Ruth and the Ticino. It is said that by the
terms of the Austro-Prinnian milliner convention, the
allied troops are to find thesamives on the fron-
tier of illystrig on the 6th February, and it is mimed
that it will be at least some days later before the
panne of the river is attempted. Before that Mel step
is taken there is still time for negotiation, and it is
difficult to bring ourselves to believe that the two
powers will be so mad as to brave the opinion of
Europe when the enewmuenswi of moll • proceeding
most be obvionss On the meeting of parliament,
opinion will be freely =premed, and we may venture • safe
prophecy when we Witt that the feeling of this country
will be found to be entirely with Denmark. The prime
minister, at the close of last session, emphatically warned
the Germans that if they pursued the course on which they
appeared intent they would not have to reckon with the
Dines alone ; and • declaration will be expected from go-
vernment, on the opening of the pigment 168601), that Eng.
land will not stand neuter if hostilities are begun.

The Isidependanea Beige of yesterday says that
the views of England and France in this matter are
identical only in respect to their opinion upon the
policy of the cabinets of Berlin and Vienna, and
the proceedings which have resulted therefrom.
Both disapprove of the interference by arms of
those two States ; but, while England re-
mains faithful to the principle of the in-
tegrity of the Danish monarchy as fixed by
the protocol of London, France in the ques-
tion of succession to the Duchy of Holstein
recognises in an absolute way the competency
of the Diet and the lawfulness of the wishes of the
people ; in a word, she shows herself more favour-
able than unfavourable to the pretensions of the
Duke of Augustenburg, limited to the frontiers of
the Eyder, and only opposes those pretensions as
applied to Sleswig. Russia, the independanee
says, is diametrically opposed to the claims of the
pretender, and concurs with the cabinets of Eng-
land and France in reference to the conduct of the
two great Powers.

" &r,—The meeting d parliament having ben Iliad fat
Thursday, the 4th of February, I have the hewer to in-
form you that public bushman of kowtows will be
brought forward. I beg leave to express sly hope that it
may be eoesiateet with your °mycelium to attend at the
House of Commons at the opening of the eassim.—l haws
the honor• to be, air, your obedient and faithful earnet.

regarded the payment of 25,0004 to lfr. Wilkinson with dis-
like, bat rubseqnset emporiums had led him to think that
it was a good isogon for the company, and that the mums
followed was a wise and prudent one. The whole amount
had bees written off on account of the exceptiosal large
profit made by the sale of Mares, and that would, in his
opinion, conduce to the permanent prosperity of the con-
cern. Is every rasped the eempaay was gong on prudently
and wall, and with the support of the shareholden the
board would, no doubt, be enabled to present dill more

Mr. W. 0. Bum:, (Deputy-Chairman) esoonded the re-
solution.
In reply to a question, the °SALINAS said the dividend
on the old shard, at the isle of 5 per cent per annum, would
be 3s. 4d. per share, and on the new shares nearly 6d. per
