DIDTMARK.

A letter from Copenhagen states that SL Hail
has decided on rejecting the English propositions,
founding his refund on the fact that Slesnrig is a
Danish possession ; that the complaints on the sub-
ject of the oompulsory use of the Danish language
are unfounded, that the autonomy of that duchy
would be tantamount to the dissolution of Den-
mark, and, lastly, that the King has given to his
country the institutions which he thought useful.

KARL BLIND IN GERMANY.

The German journals relate that Karl Blind, the
democratic leader, having returned for a time to his native
country after thirteen years of exile, was enthusiastically
received everywhere. His return had been rendered pos-
sible through the general amnesty recently proclaimed in
Baden. Owing to the present political circumstances in
Prussia, he had to pass incognito through the dominions of
William I. Thence going to the south, he made the tour
round Germany, through Frankfort, Hesse, Baden, War.
temburg, Bavaria, Hanover, Hamburg, and so forth, holding
political consultations everywhere with friends and um.
eaten. At a large number of places he was ffited by great
assemblies, the most eminent men of the different popular
parties addressing him with speeches of welcome. At
Stuttgard, the members of the Second Chamber resident
there gave him a banquet, in which the most influential
leaders, together with men distinguished in science and
literature, took put. At Munich he was greeted by two
assemblies, the one consisting of the champions of the
Bavarian party of progress, the other of citizens, &vans,
students, artists, and workmen. The German 'journals
publish Karl Blind's speeches, which, characterized as they
are by an unusual boldness of tone, were received with
stormy applause. The papers add that one of his first
acts in Baden was to visit the graves of those political
friends who had fallen in battle, or bad been shot by
the courts-martial instituted, in 1849, by the then prince,
now King of Prussia.

Tits Tmzown or Switostr.—When General Ber-
nadotte wu rawelaimed King of Sweden the principle was
adopted that the male dereendanta of the new monarch
should alone be apt to reign, the females being excluded.
As the present King, Charles XV., has by his marriage
with Prince's Wilhelmina-Frederica of Holland only one
child, a daughter, the Princess Louise, the crown at the
King's death devolves to his brother Prince Oscar. A de-
puty of Calmar has now brought forward a proposition
which, letters from Stockholm state, meets with consider.
able support in the four deliberative Chamber', and having
for object to permit the Princess to emend the throne.
This is manifestly nojust towards Prince Oscar, but the
same letters dote that notwithstanding that drawback the
supporters and opponents of the proposition are about
equally balanced in the Chambers.
According to the United States Postmaster-
General's annual report the postal revenue this year is
9,012,549 dollars, and the expenditure 11,125,364 dollars.
In 1680 the revenue was 9,218,067 dollars. and the expen-
diture
14,874,772 dollars. It would thus appear that the
loss of revenue by the secession of the Confederate States
is only 205,518 dollars, while the saving of expenditure is
3,749,408 dollam Owing to the long distance the malls had
to travel in the Southera States and the comparative
paucity of the population there, the expenditure was
always much in exams of the revenue derived from those
states.

The Patric of this evening as arts that Prince
Count, notwithstanding the protests of the powers,

arms which have arrived in Moldavia for the
prince of that state. "This incident," says the
Patric," has created a sensation at Bucharest."

In to-day's sitting of the Upper Chamber of the

This address requested his Majesty to maintain
the legally existing commas isaWstioae of Den-
mark and Schleswig, as such a course offered a
means of binding closely together the different
parts of the kingdom, and affording them a gua-
rantee of constitutional liberty. The address fur-
ther recommended the government to settle the
affairs of Holstein, by fulfilling the obligations of
the King towards the Federal Diet, without, how-
ever, endangering the freedom of connexion
between the other parts of the kingdom.
His Majesty is informed that the Danish nation
applauds his intention of granting more liberty to
Schleswig as soon as the affairs of H olstein shall be
entirely settled, but that the nation also expects
that nothing should be done which might weaken
the connexion between the kingdom and Schleswig.
The address concludes with an assurance that
the Chamber will support the present and any other
ministry which shall energetically carry out the
above programme.

WATER-COLOUR PAINTERS' LANCASHIRE
RUMP FUND.

The New Society of Water-Colour Painters have
hit upon a most happy expedient for enabling a
large circle of artiste—a section of the community
rich for the most part rather in the gifts of Nature
than of Fortune—to join effectually in the general
help being rendered to the poor inifferers of the cotton
districts. Doubtless many an artist has felt the
keenest sympathy for these suffering workers at a
handicraft now felt to be as precarious under
the inevitable oonvulsions of the great world of
commerce aa his own gentle art, which ministers
only to the whims and tastes of luxury. But the
way to help has not been en easy to him as
to the man familiar with cheque-books
and the rich harvest of prosperous trade.
"Where there's a will there's a way, says the
practical old maxim, and. the water painters
prove their hearty good-will by putting it into the
practical shape of this exhibition ; they have shown

that by the time the collection is ready to be trans-
ported to theprovinees it will be very largedyineressed
by the fresh gaffs of the palmier*. Why, indeed, should
not the whole body of the profession take up the
plan and contribute, each artist after hiaewn sty/k,
to an art fund of this kind 7 Such an exhibition
would certainly be meet interesting, and meld
fail to benefit the relief fund largely.
The exhibition, whigh was first opened to the
public on Saturday, at the Gallery in. Bondetreet,
has been arranged by a committee of amateurs of
the arts, with the president of the Royal Academy
and two of the associate% the other artiste, bedeg
water-colour painters, Ma Fahey, the secretary of
the new society, Ind Mr. LOCI HagbeEthe vice-
president, undertaking the actual working out of
the plan. The scheme consists not merely In an
exhibition for the profit derivable froupentnence
fees, but of pictures, all of which are gifts; and to
be allotted amongst the subscribers of a guinea to
the fund. So that as long as new pictutertuar be

Sittings at Niel Prins after Term at GuildhalL —(Before

A strange occurrence took place in oonnezion with the
case of " Thewlis v. Mumford"—an action for seduction.
The jury retired and were locked up from 1 o'clock till 10 at
night through the obstinacy of one juryman, who would I
not yield his opinion to the other eleven. During their
deliberation several angry altercations took place between
them, in the course of which the obstinate man struck a
brother juryman, and afterwards hulled a chair at him.
At last the others, feeling so much annoyed and diaguit( d
at his conduct. set on him, and in the course of thescrimmage
got him against the door. The usher in charge, thinking
they were knocking for him, opened the door. and he fell on
his back with his head out ou the passage. At 10 o'clock they
were called into court, and it being found they were not
likely to agree they were discharged without giving

1110910 AND DANCING LIC/NDLS.

This being the day appoint.rd for hearing applications for
the renewal and granting of licenses for music and dancing
against which petitions iu opposition had been presented,
an unusually large number of magistrates of the county
were on the bench. Hyrax POWNAIIt Esq., the chairman,
presided.

REFUSAL or MR LICENSE TO TEE ADELAIDE GALLERY.
This was an application on the part of Agostino Gatti and
and Giacomo Moroio, successors to Carlo Gatti, of the late
If ungerford Music-hsll, for a music license to the Adelaide
(Wlery, Adelaide-street, Strand ; the application was op-
posed by the parish authorities on the ground of the large
number of parsons that congregated in the premises on the
Sunday, causing annoyance to the inhabitants going to
sod returning from the pariah church of St. Martin-in-the
Fields.

Nr. Sleigh appeared in support of the application ; Mr.
Metcalfe, for the parochial authorities.
Mr. Inspector Mackenzie and several other witnesses were
called to prove that very large numbers of persons con-
gregated on the premises consisting of persons of both sexes
of every grade, and amongst them were prostitutes.
Mr. Sleigh then addressed the bench in support of the ap-
plication, and referred to the manteer in which the liungerford-
hall had been conducted for the last four yeirs..the license
always being granted without any opposition. That Hall had
been pulled down fur the Charing-cross Railway. He con-
tended this was merely a transfer of that business to the
Adelaide Gallery, and in an eerue,t appeal called upon the
justices to mark their sense of the opposition, which he
characterised vs oppressive, by unanimously granting the
license.

On a division the license was refused by 11 to 4.
THE ALIIAMBRA.

This was an application on-the pert of Mr. Wm. Wilde,
jun., for a renewal of the license for music and dancing to
the Alhnmbra, Leiceeter•sgnare.
Mr. Sleigh supported the application; and Mr. Leßreton,
on the part of the parish authorities of St. Martin.in•the-
Fields, opposed.
The opposition was withdrawn, and the renewal of the
license granted on an undertaking that the place should not
be cmiverted into a casino.
REFUSAL o► Tee LTCESSE TO THE CTDER CELLARS.
Mr. Sleigh appeared in support of an application for a
music license fur the Cyder Cellars, the notorious Judge
and Jury Rooms, to John Hart.

The license for the sale ofspirits was refused 1:7 the
licensing magistrates, upon which the applicant obtained a
license from the Commissioners of the Excise under the act
of lttlq.

The bench unanimously refused the license.
The license to the El Demi.", in Leicesterequare, the
('oal Hole Tavern, strand, sod numerous other houses in
which reports had been made to the Commissioners of Excise,
were also refused.

week s import is 15,887 bales.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bnamroao, Ocr. 9.—There
is quietness prevailing in every branch of the worsted busi-
ness, but there is no change in prices, which continue very
firm, especially in yarns. Spinners, having operated freely
is wools some time ago. are at present purchasing very
sparingly. There has been more inquiry for pieces, hot it
has not resulted in much business'. Excepting • few par.
chases from stock b 3 foreign buyers and some orders placed
for America in yarn dyed second mourning*, little of auy
moment has been done. Manufacturers of plain goods show
greater indifference as to new orders, as they are generally
employed till Christmas, and a few makers of mohair glade,
lance, and fancies, are busy with old contracts, even beyond
that period. Prices are extremely firm. Alpaca lustre%
°edam makes, are about 2a, dearer. Mercantile reports
from Vienna represent business as very languid, with greet
pressure for money. and a few unimportant failures amongst
minor mercantile firma. These failures, we ars glad to
learn, will not in any way affect our merchants here.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrumum, Ocr. 9.—lace :
The demand for fancy laces for Leipaic fair still rotations',
and there is little alteration to report in any of the foreign
branches. Nets of all sorts meet, with slow sales in come.
queues of the unwillingness of purchasers to trade st the
present high prices. The silk trade and the demand for all
kinds of edgings to suit the present fashion is tolerably ani-
mated. The home market is uousually quiet, with a pro-
bability of remaining so throughout the present month.
Several houses report that the past week, independently of
the influence of the holidays, has been flat in all depart-
ments. No shipping trade has been done, sod the princi-
pal foreign markets are dull. Hosiery Trade in all
branches of the hosiery manufacture is quiet, with the ex-
ception of a few houses who have received orders for par-
ticular classes of good. Very little is doing in the shipping
and foreign demo-times, and the home trade is very Sat.-

The Revising Barrister, Mr. Edmond Beale., '
held his court yesterday, at the Windsor t.Lstle, Hammer.
south, fur the purpose of revising the lists of Chiswick,
Fulham. end Hammersmith.
Mr. W. Albert James and Mr. Henry James appeared fat
the Middlesex Reform Society ; Mr. T. Alley Junes repre-
sented the Conservative interest ; and a clerk from the office
of Mr. Henry Smith attended for the Conservative Regis-
tration Association.
James Wood, registered for cops bold property, Chiswick-
square. was objected to by the conservatives. He proved
his qualification, and complained that this was the third
time he had been summoned. There did not appear any
cause for the objection, and be we. awarded ss. costa.
In the Hammersmith list, William Snooks, registered for
property at Hammersmith, wu also objected to by the
conservatives, and he complained of being a second time
summoned, for apparently no reason.
Mr. Jones—Do you still reside as described, 2, Wells-
road, Hammersmith
_ .

Mr. Snooks—Yes, and I gave you the same answer last
year.
The voter was about to apply for costs, when Mr. Jones
banded him five shillings.
In the new claim list for the parish of Hammersmith the
claims had been made by the liberal party, and were all
objected to by the conservatives. Many of the claimants
attended and proved the possession of the plots of land pur-
chased of a land society, for which they had given 354 each,
but which, since the purchase, had greatly increased in
value ; in some instances houses bad been erected by the
claimants, and their claims were allowed by the Revising
Itu-risusr. to the other cases Mr. James complained of the
apathy of the parties, who, though entitled to the franchise,
would not send even a written communication, which, with
the evidence be had been at the trouble to procure, might
have secured them their votes.

The lista having been gum) through thecourt adjourned till
tomorrow (this day), when the Bevisiug Barrister will sit
at the Vestry-hall, Bethnal grew.

Hu Honour said the bankrupt had incurred debts without
reasonable expectation of being able to pty them, and the

houses, and formed part of the system known u the Hay-
market system ?

Inspector Draper replied that it did.
Mr. Knox said it would be real cruelty to all partite con-
woad to slacken efforts to put down the evil. He had
reason to think that what had been done had already had '
the effect of diminishing the nightly nuisance in the Hay-
market. He further considered he was justified in antici-
pating that within a few months a different condition of
things would be found to prevaiL It was not against what
the unfortunate women might consider their intereste that
these proceedings were mainly directed. It was against the
interests of those persons—the keepers of brothels and re-
freshment-home*, wLo embarked their money in the 1:4-
tabliibment of a system which drew together crowds of
thieves and prostitutes—thieves specially, for prostitution
wee the pretext—and who by this system mule the Hay-
market as insecure as the parka were a few years ago. Any
amount of loss which persons of the defendant's chow sus-
tained through convictions had oo sympathy from him. He
should inflict the penalty of 20!., as the present was the
third offence.
Mr. Pook wished for a case on the point of law relative
to the transfer of the license.

Mr. Koos would give It cheerfully. On the merits of
the case he bad not a shadow of a doubt that he was justi-
fied in coml.:tit:lg.

ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin states that the change of
ministry is due more to internal differences in the
cabinet than to the situation of the different perils,

dart' parties.

- .
The Paris Prase observes that " the popularity
of M. Retain' is great and deserved. The majority
who followed M. Ricasoli will certainly rally round
the new minister. What parliament sustains is
not a man but a policy, and the patriotism of M.
Ratazzi yields to that of no one. It was the in-
creasing difficulties wh lob M. Ricasoli encountered in
completing his ministry which decided him to resign.
The Patric professes to see in the advent of M.
Ratazzi the result of the declarations of K Bilault
concerning the affairs of Rome. Such an insinua-
tion cannot be well-founded. K Ratazzi will not
show himself less Italian than K Ricasoli, and,
like him, will maintain in its entirety the right of
Italy against the pretensions of the Holy See."
The same journal observes that the resignation of
K Ricasoli is nevertheless difficult to explain :

The support of the Chamblee and al the country was
certain. Succeeding Count °MOUT ►t ens cl the most criti-
cal moments of the Italiaa deliverance, be has known how
to preserve all the positing conquered * his illustrious
predecessor. No minister he. bad a more difficult situation ;
no one, aworedly, has demeaned himself with more firm-
sees sad dignity. The moment for brilliant boldnesam
was pest. M. Ricsaoli had to maintain the lain quo-1131 UR-
pitiful task—without eclat, though not without perils.
Nothing was omitted to irritate, to excite, and to
pro►oke the Italians. The European reaction, having Rome
for its bead-quarters, used in the work its money, its best
generals, and its staff of bishops, but all failed against the
rigorous moderation, the resolute patriotism, of the
Minister, of the Chamber, sod of the people. M. Wasson
has done all that he could do in honour to maintain the
French alliance—he has preserved it—be has pacified
Northern Italy—be has reorganised the kingdom—given •
vigorous impulse to all public works—and created unity.

The ticket offices at the Crystal Palace and at
Exeter Hall were opened simultaneously yesteriloy morning
foe the sale of tickets for the forthcoming Handel Festival.
Personal applications were attended to alteruately with
those received by post. The stream of applicants waiting
at one time at each place varied from 50 to 100 pumas.
Up to the time of closing the offices (5 o'clock) this stream
was continuous, sod it was estimated that at the time of
closiug the doors, tickets to the amount of between 7,0001.
and 8,0001. hail been taken up; this, on the first
day of issue, and nearly four mouths in advanoe,
augurs well for the pecuniary NUCCeSi of the festival. At
a late hour lad evening the committee issued a notification
requesting applicants from the country to abstain from
stipulating foe seats in particular blocks, as by so doing
delay occurred. As the seats generally would be greatly
I improved by the additional roof to the orchestra, it was
recommended that all applications by post should lame to
the committee the option of selecting the best seats remain-
ing undisposed of. Among the wilier applications for
tickets were to be fogad Leeds Dudley, Powis, Dynevor,
Overdone, lbantss Bninealeme, Baroness North, Lady

take meals with his father and mother-in-law, but his sister
was sometimes. They were locked up in a washhouse, and
were allowed a small' quantity of meat on Sundays, but on
other days they hod nothing but dry bread and a few
potatoes, but not enough.
Policeman 81 1' said he apprehended the prisoner on the
day before on a wartant, and on telling him the nature of the
clone he replied, Mewls a pretty mesa I'm in, for merely
correcting a boy. Had I let him run about the street he
would have been in a reformatory." He also mid Ithat
there were two others as bad as he, sad that be could nut
keep his tools from them.
The Reimer, in reply to the charge, said that before he
began to "correct " the boy hekiotoonnected with peg
of thieves who infested the neig w hood, but this the boy
denied.
Mr. Elliott observed that he could not trust himself to
spoil( of the conduct of the prisoner as Le felt., and should
therefore send him before another tribunal to be punished
as his serious offence deserved.
The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at
the ensuing Surrey Sessions.

THE COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN

ROBIRTSON.

The court-martial on Captain Robertson was
matiassd ea Satuniay, and Lieutenant Hinton], who was
called oa Friday, wee under examination for nearly the
whole of the day. He stated that though he three times
over refused to sign this " round robin" against the prisoner,
as the major of the regiment told him it was illegal, he did
ultimately gigs it, because the adjutant told him the
colonel wished bim to do so. He believed the
charges against the prisoner at that time, but be
had since had roman to disbelieve them. He ex-
plained that if Captain Robertson had been induced to re-
sign then he would have got the step, as he was first on the
list for purchase. His senior, however, was Adjutant
Huron, and we may add it was previously proved that
when the prisoner did resign the adjutant unexpectedly put
down his name for wahine, and the witness Rintoul was
consequently disappointed. Some farther evidence was
given about the inutility, except for purposes of insult, of
the prisoner riding with a backboard, and the court inti-
mated that after the defence was closed they would them-
selves summon Adjutant Herron to give evidence. The
court, at its rising yesterday, adjourned to Friday next, to
give the prosecutor time to flame his reply.
