DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

A Copenhagen letter in the Spectateur bays :
The hostile attitude assumed by the Diets of the two
German Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg towards
Denmark has produced a remarkable impression on
public opinion in this capital. Nobody believes here in
the possibility of an amicable arrangement on the
Holstein question with the two great German powers.
More notes may doubtless be written, but the Govern-
ment of Copenhagen is decided, I am assured, on awaiting
with calm the decisions of the frankfort Diet, before

which the question will be definitely brought by Prussia
and Austria.

We learn by telegraph that the constitutional
committee cf the Swedish Diet has adopted by 18
votes to 5 the proposition emanating from the King,
to confide to the Prince Royal the regency of the
kingdom. The Storthing of Norway have unani-
mously authorised the Prince to exercise the func-
tions of Regent.

AUSTRIA.

Sir Hamilton Seymour has made a communica-

Bab el-Mandeb.

Baron Bruck is reported to intend issuing
treasury bonds to the amount of 150 millions of

PRUSSIA.

Letters from Berlin of the 23rd state that the
rumour in circulation relative to the French note in
favour of Denmark is without any foundation what-
ever. Prussia and Austria have determined for the
presetit not to carry the affair of the Duchies before
the Diet. These two powers have agreed to await
the representations of Holstein. Separate negotia-
tions with Denmark have been broken off.
The Temp. of that day announces that the Prince
of Prussia has received the order of the King to go
at once to Stuttgsrdt from Carlsrnhe, in order to do
honour to the Emperor Napoleon.

THE MEMBERS FOR NORWICH, VISCOUNT BURY,

A PARLIAMENTARY PAPER, containing the answer
of Sir John Bowring to the accusations brought
against him in reference to the Chinese question, has
been issued. Sir John Bowring justifies the bom-
bardment of Canton as *glows :

I repeat that whether the Arrow was entitled to protec•
tion or not, the Chinese had no jurisdiction. The expiry
of the lease did not make the lorcha a Chinese vessel. If,
then, the fact of the expiry of the licence, of the right of
the lorcha to its renewal, did in no respect concern the
Chinese, bat the British alone, my action was a necessity ;
at all even s as far as placing the question in the hands
of the naval authorities when I could obtain no
redress.

THE BIEHOP OF SIERRA LEONE was consecrated

CAPTAIN Garrom has issued his annual report upon
railways for 1856. The total amount of capital

Of this amount, 77,359,419/. have been raised by
loans, 57,057,1711. by preference shares, and
174,359,3041. by ordinary share capital. Among the
many items of interest given in the voluminous
report is the proportion per cent. which the receipts,
less working expenses, bear to total capital. We

BERHAMPORE.

The Government of Calcutta, taking a lesson from
Dinapore, resolved at last to disarm the native troops
at Berhampore. The following are the details,
which show that the step was not taken too soon :
Soon after our arrival at Berhampore on the Ist, our
troops, the 90th, landed about 800 strong. and together
with a party of the 35th Queen's, about 100 strong, pro-
ceeded to disarm the 63rd N.I. and 11th Irregular Cavalry.
We marched out some three miles in the rain over the
midan at double quick time. On nearing the sepoys'
lines the 90th deployed into three columns, one extending
well to the right so as to get into the rear of the lines;
the second so as to outflank them on the left; the third
and larger column extending so as to outflank them on
their right, or to meet them in front. This movement
exposed the two guns manned by the sailors. The .iumna
was lying in position to shell them. The sepoys, at the
first order given, piled their arms. The officers (native)
were allowed to keep their side arms. A company of the
90th disarmed the guards in and about the line, and the
35th disarmed the guards at the treasuries. The cavalry
showed strong symptoms of mutiny, and had it not been
for the imposing force before them, I feel fully persuad
they would have fought. Numbers of their pistols which
were picked up were loaded to the very muzzle, and some
even loaded on parade, so it is said. Many of them
began throwing away their belts, &c. &c., some doubled
up their swords, and threw them away; their mutinous
conduct was soon put an end to, however, by the flank
movement of a couple of companies of the 90th at the
double. It was too late for them to do much, and so they
submitted to the 90th, which inclosed them in the centre
of a three•sided square and marched them off to Berham•
pore, where the horses were confined in Hospital•squaro.
At this the troopers became infuriated, but they were soon
put down. They are a fine-looking set of men, as also
were the 63rd, and all their appointments were in excel-
lent order. The 63rd are nearly all Hindoos and Sikhs.
The cavalry are from about Delhi and Benarca, all Mils-
sulmans ; they have never agreed together, which I take
to be the cause of the safety of Berhampore.
Sunday, the 2nd, the bazaar was disarmed. A goodly
number of guns, pistols, and powder was found, all of
which was duly taker: care of.

We are now off to disarm the Ilhaugnlpore chaps. The
Nawab of Moorshedabad has, of his own accord, disarmed
all his followers.

London, England, 1857-09-26

Another writer from the camp tells us :
The other day C—, of the 2nd Fusiliers, with ltis
men, burst open the door of a house in which were a
lot of Fondles. C— was in front when the door
gave way, and down he fell into the house with it.
Lucky for him, as a Pandy blazed away at him from the
inside, but the ball went over his head. C— then
tried his revolver at the mutineer, but it would not go
off, so he ran him through with his sword. His men
then went iu and finished off the rest of the Fondles in
the house.

The remarkable deaths of the three commanders.
in-chief, one after the other, has raised suspicions
at Calcutta of foul play. A correspondent of the
Daily News writes :

Brigadier Wilson, of the Bengal Artillery, has been
appointed to the chief command at Delhi in the place
of General Barnard, who, like the commander•in•chief,
General Anson, died, as alleged, of cholera. General
Reed has also died of "cholera," but the Government
has taken no public notice of the fact. These three
deaths following each other so rapidly, have induced
people to read for cholera, poison; and if they have all
gone off from cholera, it is one of the most remarkable
coincidences I remember.
There may or may not be truth in the suspicion,
but the fact that cholera is in our camp is not denied.
"We are suffering a great deal more from cholera
than from the enemy's fire," writes an engineer officer
on 15th July :

In one regiment (the 81st Queen's) seven men died
in one day from it. It is now the rainy season, and
the men out on duty get wet, have to rewain in their
wet clothes for several inure, come home, and are carried
off in a few hours. An engineer officer named Walker died
a day or two ago in less than twentyfour hours after he
was taken ill. You will have heard that General Barnard
died of cholera on the sth inst.

As to the relative position of the rebels and our-
selves, this writer observes:—
As usual, when people are greatly excited, in the
dearth of information rumour supplies it place, and the
rumours from Delhi are of a very unpleasant kind. We
have heard a dozen times at least of its fall, and now it
is said it cannot possibly be taken until very large rein•
forcements are sent up—and there are none to send!
We hear that there are some 60,0(10 or 70,000 men in
arms in the city and its neighbourhood.

Noble Viscount at the head of her Majesty's
Government—certainly a formidable rival to
any comic celebrity—is taking a leaf out of the
performe►'s book. When the China policy
paid well it was his own policy, his own
peculiar pet question. /EH was an insolent
barbarian who had poisoned and assassinated
British subjects, and vengeance must be
prompt and signal. Now, however, that Cliina
has become a little passive, the Nobie Lord—
through his organs, of course—repudiates
all connection with the affair. "He
told us how it would be",-the war
could wait That headstrong. fighting Mr.
COBDEN declared there was an imperative ne-
cessity for vindicating the honour of the Bri-
tish Government in the Chinese wars. What
so silly? Lord PALMERSTON knew better. He
was not going to war instantaneously about
such a trifle as the Arrow. Oh dear no ; he
knew a great deal better than that.

The gentlemen who voted against Lord PAL-
MERSTON in the Chinese debate must expe-
rience strange sensations, we think, when they
read this language in the Government jour-
nals. They themselves must have clearly
been dreaming, and cannot even be tho-
roughly awake yet. For still they seem to
see before their eyes certain characters form-
ing certain words which express certain ideas
in the Times of March and February last,
wholly contradictory to what the Premier de-
clares he then said. It is a most extraGrdi-
nary hallucination. That is all we can say.
We ourselves cannot yet disabuse our minds
of the impression that Lord PALMERSTON was
for " a vigorous prosecution of hostilities ;"
but, nevertheless, we would not presume to
doubt that he " told us how it would be."

THE BELFAST RIOTS' COII3IISSION continues its
sittings. Mr. M'Laughlin, proprietor of the Ulster-
man, has been examined this week. He gave
evidence respecting the religious placards which had
been posted up in the town, and which, he said, were
calculated to exasperate the Roman Catholics.
Margaret Jane M'Ponnell, a Catholic, stated that as

913

she was going to her work on the 9th of September
she was assailed by a lot of Sandy-row people, who
flung stones at her, and cried out " Tear the Popish
entrails out of her ;" she complained to a local con-
stable, who took no heed of her complaint. The
Sandy-row people used to sing a song :

Up with the ladier,
And down with the rope,

Up v. ith King William, - -
And to hell with the Pope.
There are a number of other witnesses to be ex-
amined on the Catholic side. Four Protestant police-
men have been committed for trial.
THE Freeman's Journal, the leading Roman
Catholic journal in Ireland, has denounced in strong
terms the abominable attempt of a political sect to
arouse " a pro-sepoy murder and rapine spirit in
Ireland."

SOME RIOTS took place between the police and the
militiamen, in Limerick, last week. They threatened
to be severe at one period, but were eventually sup-
pressed.

Tha usual mails have arrived ; there is no in-
telligence of any importance beyond the announce-
ment that the treaty with New Granada, providing
only for the appointment of a commission for the
settlement of all claims against tnat Government,
was signed at Wivsliington on the 10th inst.

TILE SERMON PREACHED BY CARDINAL WISEMAN,
and which is the subject of a controversy between
the Cardinal end the Times, was delivered at Salford,
Sunday three weeks, and referred particularly to the
Indian mutiny and to the condition of our Roman
Catbolic subjects in India. The first he attributes
to the petty commercial crime of the cartridge con-
tractor, who for purposes of gain used a cheap
grease for the paper. Upon the condition of the
Reman Catholics in our army the cardinal related
the following anecdote of Sir Charles Napier
few years ago—the year before his death—l was in
the Exhibition in London, looking at a picture re-
presenting one of his battles, in which he was in the
very centre of danger, the most conspicuous object
amid the terrors of the fight. Standing close to it
was the hero of the piece, Si: Charles Napier him-
self. It was impossible to mistake him ; but he de-
sired to be introduced to me. I asked him a few
questions about the picture and its correctness, and
lie then took me by the arm and drew me aside—
there were several persons around us—and he said,
' Cardinal Wiseman, you Catholics are shamefully
treated in India. I have told them again and
again—I have told the Government there—that a
time was coming very soon when, to save our empire,
we should require to he united, combined forces of
all British subjects without distinction, and that it
was their duty to prevent any disunion or any
religious differences. I have spoken in vain ; they
will not listen to me; and they are keeping up a
system of disunion and separation instead of tuip.n.

PARIS, September 24th
The Emperor will reach Stuttgardt to-morrow. In
my next I am in hopes of being able to send you
eom 3 particulars of the interview between the two
Emperors.

I hear also from authentic sources that the
Emperors of France and Austria will have an
interview in October in one of the German
cities. The exact locality is not yet fixed, but
the interview is decided on. This news will open
a wile bald for speculations, and you may ex-
pe:t to shortly find the Germ an papers filled with
conjectures of all sorts.
I may as well here correct certain errors which
hive been circulated by an ordinary well informed
Bel.4ian paper. It is not true that Count Walewski
has addressed a note to the parties interested in the
Holstein-Denmark affair, and that such a note was
favourable to Danmark. The French Government
had never the intention of interfering in the dis-
puted question, aware that its solution depends
solely on the decision of the Diet.
It is not true that the Cardinal Antonelli has fallen
nt • disgrace, and that he has been requested to
resign. The cardinal continues to enjoy the full
confidence of the Pope, and there is not the least
chance of his being replaced in the high offize he
now fills.

It is not true that the Bey of Tunis has addressed
a note to the French Government, demanding to be
placed under its protection in his endeavour to throw
off the yoke of the Sultan. if the Bey of Tunis bad
ever the intention to free himself of his vassalage to
the Porte, which is much to be doubted, certain it is
he would not have applied to the Emperor for aid
and protection. Napoleon has laid it down as a
principle never to interfere in the organisation or
hierarchy of any State unless officially and openly
called on to act as an arbitrator.

The States General assembled on the 21st inst.
for the session of 1857 and 1858, and the proceed.

Majesty in person. His Majesty thanked the
Chamber for their cordial co-operation in the
formation and completion of the law relative to edu•
cation, and alluded hopefully to the prospects of
peace and prosperity.

PRIVATE LETTERS.

We have received several private letters by this
mail. The following is from a civil officer of high
rank in Calcutta, and is remarkable as showing the
state of feeling at Calcutta :
.

Calcutta, August 7th.

The dreadful state of affairs in India is such as to
appal tl e stoutest heart, and surely to make every
believer in God thankful for the humblest lot, when
he sees what troubles and sorrows may fall on those
who live in ease and plenty. I refer you to the
public papers for an account of our situation. They
can hardly exaggerate the present difficulties and
gloomy prospects with which we are afflicted.
There are few persons less subject than myself to
low spirits, but of late I have found it impossible to
sleep for more than two or three hours together, and
have risen before day to read the Word of God till
calm and peace were restored!
Benares, Sept. 24th.

The following will, if not already known, be in-
teresting to you and to your readers. It was re-
ceived by the last mail from Benares. It is very
satisfactory, inasmuch as it shows that Benares was
quite secure and had nothing to fear from the
Dinapore mutineers :
London, England, 1857-09-26

TUSCANY.

A letter from Florence, in the Corriere Mercantile
of Genoa, says :
Fears are entertained of new disturbances at Leghorn.
The garrison is constantly on the qei vine, as a rumour is
current that the 17th is fixed upon for a fresh attempt.
The number of persons that are to be tried amomai to
about seventy; they are nearly all confined in the citadel
of Pisa, but it is not known when the t►ial is to take place.
London, England, 1857-09-26

TURKEY.

The Snitan has nominated Omer Paella as Go-
vernor-General of Bagdad, a very lucrative post, the
revenues of which amount to 500,000 francs per
annum. His Excellency is charged with the duty of
establishing a line of steamers upon the Tigris and
the Lower Euphrates, and with the protection of
commerce against the Arabs.
The financial embarrassments of the Porte are
described as not likely to cease for some time, as, in
the present state of the money markets in Europe, a
loan is becoming more and more difficult.
The result of seventy elections in Moldavia are as
follows :—The clergy has chosen five unionists and
three deputies, whose opinions are dubious ; the
great landlords, 22 unionists, 2 anti-unionists, and 3
dubious ; the petty landowners, 9 unionists, 2 anti-
unionists, 3 dubious; the inhabitants of the towns,
10 unionists and I single anti-unionist. The divan
will consist of 20 members. Evan though the 20
elections, which are still to take place, should be
favourable to the anti-unionist party, the majority of
the divan will be, and remain, a unionist one. It is
said that the Porte, under tne pressure of events, has
come to the resolution of taking the initiative in the
question of the Principalities. It will propose to the
Courts represented at the Paris Conference that a
union in civil and criminal legislation and jurisdic-
tion be effected, that the two financial administra-
tions be fused into one, at least in the most important
branches, and that only one national army be or-
ganised for bath Principalities; but that the double
Hospodarate is to remain. This is authentic ; the
details of the project, which are to be embodied in
au elaborate memorial, now in progress, are, how-
ever, not yet publicly known.
London, England, 1857-09-26

character of his mind. Its discussion required
reference to principles, an appreciation of
original and constructive science, and qualities
of another kiwi than are found in merely
practical natures. Give Sir ROBERT PEEL a
fixed and positive system, and no statesman
could possibly wring froth it more practical
advantages, and bring out more skilfully all
its favourable points, lie was an admirab!o
administrator; he wets ent a great originator.
His temper of mind, his mental facult►es, and
his personal resources exhibited all the cha-
racteristics of a Parliamentary Mazarin, and
few of those which might have belonged to a
Parliamentary Richelieu. The brilliant
engineer who built the Eddystone Light-
house took his idea, as he has told the
world, from observing the stem of an cak tree,
and adopting its construction. Such a con-
ception, if Sir R. PEEL had been bred an
engineer, would never have sprung up in his
mind, which could understand anything by
the most difficult demonstration, but never
by the force of prescient genius could reach
to results previously unapprehended. The
lines of Torres Vedras were a most magnifi-
cent conception, and were enough to stamp
their projector with the fame of original
genius They showed rare anticipation of all
possible emergencies. If Sir R. PEEL had
been bred to military life, does any one sup-
pose that he ever could have thought before-
hand of the design of the Peninsula campaign,
or invented the lines of Torres Vedras?
We dwell on these considerations because
the Conservative party suffers even now from
the strategy, or, to speak more exactly, the
want of strategy, of the Conservative leaders
in 1830-1-2. Their mode of dealing with
" Catholic Emancipation " had placed them in
difficulties on " Reform " which they had not
anticipated. The rapidity with which they
struck the Protestant colours to O'CONNELL
and the Clam electors in 1829, while at the
same time they pertinaciously resisted every
moderate measure of Reform, was the worst
course that they could have adopted. Their
own Parliament did not follow them. They
were deserted on Sir HENRY PARNELL'S motion
fur Financial Reform.
But if the Tories were in difficulties about
Reform in 1830, it is very unsatisfactory to us
to know that the Whigs are in still greater diffi-
culties about Reform in 1858. There was a
certain agreement and distinct understanding
in 1832, to which the Whig Ministry was a
contracting party, which cannot be overlooked
in 1858. Lord PALMERSTON knows all about
it; so does Lord JOHN RUSSELL ; so do other
still living members of Lord GREY'S Cabinet.
On another occasion we shall have to allude
to that agreement, and we shall take care that
its binding force be maintained for the preser-
vation of the " Rights of Conservatives."

THE PRESS.

But, my lords, we are not only going to ask that
which we have no right to ask, but we are going
to ask to have a friend to join us in the enterprise—
one who has no interest in the matter, and we two
great powers together, without any reasonable
ground of quarrel with the Emperor of China—
(Hear, bear)—are to direct our united forces against
his empire, for the purpose of extorting from him
some advantages to our trade, which will put more
money into the hands of our merchants, but not a
farthing into the hands of the people. The blessings
of Providence cannot be upon a war directed to such
a purpose. It is impossible, too, not to see that
by this contemplated co-operation with France we
shall introduce new complications into a question
already sufficiently complicated, and place not
only the plan upon which war shall be conducted,

but the terms upon which peace shall be concluded,
beyond our own independent control. I confess,
ray lords, that these considerations till me with
alarm, and we ought to have a distinct answer from
the Government in reference to these objects.
(Hear, hear.)

For myself I feel satisfied that whatever may be
the opinion of the public at the next election—about
that I care little—l feel perfectly confident that it
is humanly impossible that the ultimate judgment
of the public should not maintain the independent
and honest vote of the majority of the House of

THE DISSOLUTION OF
PARLIAMENT.

In the House of Lords, on Friday, the 20th
instant, on the third reading of the Consolidated
Fund (Appropriation) Bill,

The EARL of ELLENBOROUGII rose and

said :

As the motion for the third reading of this bill
announces the approaching termination of the
session, I trust I may be allowed to offer a few words
to your lordships on the peculiar circumstances
which have led to its premature conclusion. I
believe the circumstances are these. The Governor
of Hong Kong having taken ample reparation for an
alleged offence, and the circumstances being such as
would have enabled him to come at once to a pacific
settlement with the Chinese authorities, thought fit
to make, at a time the most unpropitious, a new
demand, to which it was obviously impossible, under
the circumstances, that the Chinese authorities would
accede. Hence arose the war. That war has been
approved by her Majesty's Government ; and the
question having been submitted to the House of
Commons, that assembly, by a small majority,
thought fit to express their opinion that there were
not sufficient grounds for the measures adopted in
China and approved by her Majesty's Government.
Upon that the course adopted by the Government
was to advise the Queen to dissolve Parliament ; and
the members of the House of Commons are to
be sent to their constituents for judgment. At first

The title of Prince of Neufchatel will remain attached to
the Crown of Prussia. The benevolent institutions at
Neufchatel shall be maintained and guaranteed.
The revenues of the Royal domains shall continue to be
paid to the King for four years. The produce, which
amounts to abcut 100,000 f. a year. will serve to indemnify
the Royalists for the sacrifices and losses they have under-
gone.
His Majesty renounces the maintenance of the bour•
geoisies.
Switzerland will have to proclaim a general amnesty,
and the Royalists compromised since 1815 are not to be
molested on any grounds whatever.
On Tuesday the third conference was held to
receive and consider these propositions. The con-
ference met again on the ensuing day, when Dr.
Kern, the Swiss envoy, was admitted, and presented
counter propositions on the part of his Government.
From the nature of the discussion upon these pro-
positions the concluding conferences and the final
settlement of the question will be further delayed.
The Budget of 1858 has been presented and read.
It shows an excess of receipts over expend►ture to
the amount of 25,000,000 of francs.
M. de Rayneval, the French Minister at Rome, is
about to return to Paris on leave of absence.

The plan of a Ksbyle expedition has been arranged•
Marshal Randon leaves for Algeria next week.

TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The evacuation by the Austrians of the Principa-
lities is completed. General Marziani and his staff
quitted Bucharest on the 23rd for Giurgevo and
Vienna. Sixteen thousand Turkish troops are echel
loned on the frontier for the protection of Turkish
interests. Sir Henry Bulwar, G.C.8., the British
Commissioner, with the French, Sardinian, Austrian,
and Turkish Commissioners, are at Bucharest. In
Basily the Russian Commissioner was daily expected
from Vienna. Admiral Lyons, aid his squadron, up
to the 20th, remained in the Bosphorus.
The Kangaroo affair has resulted in numerous
arrests of Hungarian and Polish emigrants in the
service of the Porte—among others, in that of Baron
Stein. M. de Boutenieff, the Russian Ambassador,
has presented a formal complaint to the Porte, and a
special commission to sift the whole affair has in
consequence been appointed by the Sultan.
The intelligence from Tuabs, Circassia, up to the
26th, is to the effect that the entire population are
animated by the most enthusiastic determination to
maintain their independence. Mehenied Bey
(Bangya) was acknowledged commander•in-chief
at a solemn ceremony at Tuabs, attended by the
princes, nobles, and deputies from the Circassian
Diet.

All ELDERLY GENTLEMAN was knocked down by an
omnibus at Charing cross, run over, and killed on
the spot. The body was at once removed to
Charing-cross Hospital for identification.
SEVERAL FIRES have occurred in the metropolis
this week. At Temple bar a most severe conflagra
tion occurred on Monday night at an upholsterer's,
Messrs. Watkinson. Eight or nine contiguous
houses, in Ihanet and Palsgrave Places, were more
or less burned out, and a vast amount of pi operty
destroyed.

THE CLARENDON HOTEL carght fire in the roof on
Wednesday, and had a narrow escape of being burned
down. The accident is supposed to have been
caused by sparks from a burning chimney. The fire
brigade were soon on the spot, and the fire put out,
though not before great damage was done to the
roof, and much inconvenience suffered by the resi-
dents in the hotel.
