DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG

HOLSTEIN.

The Borsenhalle, of the 13th, contains the follow-
ing :—A letter from Rendsburg of April 12 says:
.• A Prussian deputation to the King of Denmark
experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining access
to that sovereign, passage having in the first instance
been refused them by the Danish advanced guard.
Orders however were eventually obtained for thek
admittance, when the King replied, that as regarded
Holstein, the Prussian troops might adopt what
course they pleased, but that if they entered the
duchy of Schleswig he would instantly declare war
against Prussia. His Majesty was probably unaware
that at that time the Prussian auxiliaries were in
occupation of a portion of the duchy of Schleswig.

MALTA APRIL 3.

A soldier of the 97th, named O'Connor, who was
committed by the magistrates for trod, at the criminal court,
for wounding two persons during the riot and attack upon
the main guard;on'the 24th of February, h is been tried and
acquitted. The man was proved to be a most exemplary
character, and in the receipt of an extra penny .a day in con
sequence. Ile had, however, had 28 days' imprisonment
among felons for doing his duty. Capt.Colville, of O'Connor's
company, paid for his defence.
On Sunday, the 2nd, about two P.m., a soldier of the 97th,
by name John Fitzgerald, who was on sentry outside Porta
Reale gate, was grmsly insulted by a Cales.e man. The
sentry warned him off; he refused to go ; and struck the
soldier with a piece of rope, and knocked off his shako. The
sentry, being thus ',wailed on hie post, made use of his mus-
ket, and stabbed his opponent in three places. The man was
taken to the hospital. The soldier was relieved from gu
claimed by the civil power, and taken off to prison.
I should sot be surpri.ed to hear of some sin ckirg outlireak
between the lower orders and the 97th. The Maltese are
irritated a*. haying been proved iu the wrong in the late riot
on the parade, and the 97th are continually meeting a ith
abuse and insult wherever they go. The following day, the
lird, the soldier was brought before the sitting magistrates,
on a charge of stabbing Giuseppe Cilia with a bayonet.
Ater au investigation of the cane, the ankh ir Fitzgerald
was delivered up to the captain of his company, who became
bail for his appearance when called for.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY:

THE CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION,—ADDRESS TO
THE Qt./res.—Saturday, at a vet; fully attended meeting
of the vestry of Sc. Marylebone, the Rev. Dr. Spry in the
slime,
Sir J. HAMILTON laid before the vestry a communication
which had been ad"ressed by the Secretary of State to Li. ut.-
General Sit James Bathurst and himself with reference to,
and in approval of, the exertions of the special constables of
tilarylebone, and stated, in continuation, that Sir James
Bathurst had taken steps for circulating some thousands of
these letters to those who were sworn in, and to whose exer-
tions the peace of the maropolis on Monday last was so
much indebted.
Mr. NIcHoLAT moved "That the thanks of this vestry
are due, and are hereby given, to Sir James Hamilton, Bart.,
to Sir Walter Stirling, Bart., and to Charles Elliott, Esq.,
members of this board, who as magistrates exerted them-
selves so efficiently for the preservation of the public peace
on Monday lest."--Mr. liaise:, seconded the resolution,
which was carried nem. con.—Sir J. Hamilton, Sir W. Stir-
ling, and Mr. C. Elliott, severally returned 'hanks, express-
ing their readiness en all such occasions to act again as
they had done on Monday.
Mr. STAN Pomo thought the time had now arrived when
some notice should be taken of the very excellent and ener•
getic measures taken to provide for the peace of the metro-
polis by her Majesty's government. [A cry of " No, no,"
burst from every past of the vestry.) He (Mr. Stanford)
was perfectly astonished to hear such a response from a body
which he believed to be the advocates of loyalty and order.
(Oh, oh.) At all events he had prenared a resolution, and it
he stood alone he would bring it before the vestry. (Oh,
oh, and confusion.) 11. c begged to Mote the following :
" That this vestry cannot but exoress their warm approval
of the wise and energetic means taken by her Majesty's go-
vernment fur the preservation of order on Monday last, and
beg to congratulate her Majesty's government on the happy
result of their very judicious, and at the same time tem-
perate arrangements." (Loud expressions of dissent.)—The
motion, not finding a seconder, tell to the ground.
Mr. JOHN WILLIAM'S, said, had Mr. Stanford's
motion been confined to an address to the sovereign, he
would have supported it. The scene they had witnessed last
Monday was sufficient to convince any one that there was
pervading ell classes the highest esteem for the sovereign
who now happily reigned over this kingdom. (Cheers.) He
contended that last Monday exhibited but one feeling, and
that was a fe. ling of 1 yalty and attachment to the throne,
and to the institutions of the country. (Hear, hear.) In
order to prove that •.he vestry of Marylebone participated is
that feeling, hr would move " That a dutiful address be
presented to her Mejeoty the Queen, assuring her Majesty
that the loyal determination displayed by the metropohs on
Monday last will ever be exhibited by every class of the in-
habitants of this parish, on all occasions where the dignity of
her Majesty's crown or the tranquillity of the country may
be assailed."—Mr. J. Betz seconded the resolution.
Mr. SODEN thought that if the vestry passed such a resolu-
tion it would stamp the preecediugs of last Monday as an at-
tempt to dethrone the Queen, and to subvert all the institu-
tion+ of the country—au u'stimptien which he ut•erly ieliti-
oiuted and denied.
Mr. STEVENS must express hie astonishment at the decla-
rations of Mr. Soden. He feared ho could not have read in
the newspapers the speeches of Mr. Washerwoman Culfay—
(laughter)--and the other anarchists, who declared that
they were even prepared to go the length of committing
murder.—After some 119CuRIliOn, during which more abuse
was given to the chartists by Sir W. Stirling,
Mr. J. Wittliens, M.P., with great warmrh, said : I rise
to order. I beg to call the hon. baronet to order. I will not
sit clown quietly and hear the chartists as a body, and the
working men of England, ,f which that body is composed,
held up to scorn a. thieves, rocuts, and asses-1 .s. I belong
myself to the worisitig elawes, and I have the pleasure of
being known to, and to know myself, thousands of chartists,
who, I will undertake to ray, are as loyal to the sovereign as
the hon. baronet. I agree with same of the points of the
charter myself, and I will defy him to say that lam not as
loyal as he is.
Sir J. HAMILTON—I beg to suggest to my hon. friend
Sir Walter Stirling, that he should withdraw the exressions
he has made use of towards any body of men. (Lopud cries
of hear.)
Sir W. STIRLING could do tin such thing, as his convic-
tion was th ,t the chartists who caused the excited state of
the metropolis en Monday last were accessories before the
fact to ns-assinatidn, murder, and robbery. (Oh, oh ;
~rider, order; and great contusion.) Ile believed they
had no legitimate object in view, no real grievances to
redress ,• but it was a plan to upset government and all peace
and order, that they might have no government at all, and
that they might make the consternation their proceed-
ings crested the opportunity for robbery, plunder, and
recesses of the very worst description. (The coufusion here
became so general that no more of Sir Walter Stuling's
observations could be heard.)
Mr. J. Wittetue, M.P., in reply said, ea one of the work-
ing etemes he was well aware that neither he nor the class to
which he belonged had or could expect to have any sym-
pathy from the aristocracy. If he wanted any proof he
need only refer to the gagging bill of the government, upon
which he had divided against the government on every divi-
sion during the previous night. He again repelled the un-
just attack which had been made by Sir Walter Stirling on
the chartists as a body, and he could assure him acd the
vestry that there were thousands of chartists who were ac-
tuated by the strongest feelings of loyalty. He hoped the
question would pass unanimously.—The rev. Chairman here
put the motion, and although there were several members
who did not hold up their hands in its favour, none voted
against it, and it was declared to be carried unanimously.

ANOTHER MEETING OF LIBERAL MEMBERS OF TILE
!lovas or COMMONS took place en Saturday, when Mr.
Hume was requested and agreed to give notice of motion for
an early day atter Easter—That he will bring under the con-
sideration of the House of Commons the present stste of the
representation of the people.
BREAD-STREET WARD.--011 Saturday a wardatote
was held at Cordwainers'-ball for the purpose of electingg, an
' alderman, in the room of William Hughes Hughes, Esq.,
who had resigned in consequence of his bag residence
I abroad throuan ilnra, Mr. William Lawrence, builder,
mai elected unanimously.

ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND.—The anniversary
of this excellent charity was celebrated on Saturday by a
dine-r at the Freemasons' Tavern. The chair was taken
by Henry T. Hope, Bsq., M.P., who, in proposing the
health of the Queen, announced, amidst loud cheers, the
annual royal donation of 100 guineas. The toast of the
evening, Prosperity to the Artists' Benevolent Fund,"
was prefaced by the chairman in a speech in which he urged
the claims of the institution to the sympathies and support
of the community at large. It was but an act of justice to
those men who had devoted their talents and their time to
pursuits which tended to enrich their country, and who pro-
duced works which afforded pleasure and gratification to
others, that the wealthier portion of the public should come
forward to relieve them front the cares and necessities to
which the failure of health or the other accidents of life
exposed them. The toast was responded to by Mr. folly.
Mr. Cabbell, M.P., propeeed the health of the chairmon,
whom be eulogise.' as a member of a family that ought to be
dear to Briti,h artists, for devoting a considerable portion of
that wealth which they acquired in the honourable pursuit
of commerce, to the patronage and encouragement of Bri-
tish art. The subscriptions and donations amounted to 3081.
MURDER IN WESTMINSTER.—Yeaterday morning,
about one o'clock, a murder was committed in Regent: street,
Westmiinter, on the person of a female about 22 years of
age, named Maria Haywood. The person charted as the
murderer is a man named Thomp4on, about 26 years of
age, a brewer, in the employ or Mr. rhyme, of the Horse-
fei ry-road. At the hour above stated police constaqe
Wnght observed the accused and the deceased in converse-
ti m, and from the tone of their voices they appeared to be
quarrelling. A short time after, on repassing the spot,
the female was alone, lying on the pavement, end
blood flowing profusely. She was conveyed isto
the shop of Mr. Pearce, • surgeon, who found
• wound in the right breast two-inches and a half
in depth. Every effort was adopted to stop the liremorrhase,
but she expired shortly after entering the surgery. The
body wee then conveyed to the workhouse in Great Smith-
street. Search was immediately made after Thompon,
and in a short time he was apprehended at hie father's house,
in the neighbourhood of Regent-street. He was in bed,
and when the policeman entered he feigned to be &Bleed.
It is said he acknowledged that he had in-
dicted the blow, and a large clasp knife stained
with blood Was found in his waistcoat pocket. Some
weeks since the accused and deceased took apartments in
Dacre.street, Westminster, as man and wife, and until
within the last three weeks appeared to live happily.
Daring the last three weeks the landlady of the house says
that Titomps in appeared rather jealous of her conduct to-
wards a soldier. On Saturday night Thompson and the
deceased had been driLking together in a public-house at
the end of llacre-street with some friends, and were not
then observed to he bad friends. The murder was commit.
ted within only half-a-dozen yards A the spot where the
late Mr. Bellehambers lost his life.
INQUEST, SATURDAY.—SUPPOSED CHILD Mull-
DER.—By Mr. W. Carter, at the King's Arms, Camberwell,
on the body of a female child,which was found in the Surrey
canal. A lad named Wengrove stated that on Wednesday
last, about dinner time, he was passing along the banks of
the Surrey Canal, near he bridge, when he observed a bun-
dle floating on the water. lie had a dog with him, which he
sent in, and the animal swam with it to the shore. He could
then see the head of a child is it, and hying alarmed, called
to a woman, who opened it, and discovered it conrained the
body of • child, which was taken to the above house. The
jury returned a verdict " that the child was found dead, but
thew had no evidence to show whether it was born alive or
not."

DUPLITI, APRIL 15.
THE TRIALS FOR SEDITION.
This being the first day of term, and also the day
of initiatory proceedings against Messrs. S. O'Brien,
Mitchell, and Meagher, the hall and court were unu-
sually crowded. A large number of the idle congre-
gated in the outside court and in the hall, who
were not suffered to pass the temporary barrier, which
was strongly guarded by police. Of that force a very
large body was present, not only in the hall, but in
all the avenues leading to the courts, while some com-
panies of infantry were stationed in I lome's hotel, on
the opposite side of the river. It was thought a de-
monstration would take place before the rooms of the
confederation, and accompany the accused to the Four
Courts; but all was quiet in that locality;
and Messrs. O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher found
their way to the Queen's Bench without any popular
manifestation, and quietly surrendered in discharge of
their bail.
Messrs. Mitchell and Meagher sat together in the
side bar, while Mr. O'Brien took up a position beneath
the crown solicitor, and els ut the leisure hours in
reading the Nation. All were of course eyed with
much curiosity, and various comments passed on the
observed of all observers. At twelve o'clock Judge
Crampton, the senior judge, entered the court, and
the city grand jury having been sworn, with Sir
Edward Burrough as foreman, the charge was
opened. It was not very long, but sharp and
pointed to the oftence perhaps a little too rhe-
torical. But of this you will judge, as I append
a report. The jury retired, and returned at
a quarter to three o'clock, when Sir Edward 13urrough
handed in the bills "found" against Mr. Mitchell.
After having been formally arraigned, the Attorney-
General rose and stated that the traverser would have
four days to plead, and was entitled to a copy of the
indictment, which was accordingly handed to him by
the Clerk of the Crown. Mr. Mitchell received the
portentous document in silence.
The grand jury were then handed the bills against
Messrs. O'Brien and Meagher. The foreman asked a
postponement until Monday ; but the Attorney-
General interposed, and observed that the day was
arly, and no time should be unnecessarily lost. The
jury withdrew, and retu-ned again at half-past
four with the bills found against the remaining tra-
versere. The same proceedings then took place as in
the case of Mr. Mitchell, and the court rose. All the
traversers appeared by their solicitors, but each will
conduct his own defence. In any legal difficulties
which might arise they will have the advice of
Messrs. Holmes, O'llagan, and O'Loughlin.
The four-day rule does not include this day or to-
morrow (Sunday), so that it will not expire until
Thursday, and as the court will be up on that day
until after the Easter holidays, the rule runs until the
following Wednesday.
After leaving the court the traversers were received
outside with a shout of welcome, and proceeded toge-
►her to D'Otier-street. The trial which will take place
in the after-sittings of this term, will not be a trial at
bar, but an ordinary trial conducted by Chief-justice
Blackburn. The crown might have made special
application to the court for a trial at bar, but not being
considered of sufficient. importance, the usual course
will be adhered to.
Snow of Mr. O'Brien's Meal friends arc cngagcd in
searching over the state and other less remarkable
trials, to supply him with materials for his address to
the jury. The chief object is to ascertain where ac-
quittals have taken place, with language as strong
and apparently seditious as Mr. O'Brien had used.

There was a meeting in Sligo, on Wednesday, of
the friends of Mr. Somers, to prosecute the petition
against Mr. Towneley. About 2001. wag subscribed, of
which one half was contributed by au alderman of
the town.
Within the last fortnight the trustees of the Cork
Savings Bank have sold out 45,0001., to meet with-
drawn deposits. The defalc dions in Tralec arc stated
by the Southern Reporter to amount to 30,0001.,
which most be an exaggeration. The real deficiency
is supposed to be about 10,0001.
The constabulary continue to pour in declarations
of their perfect loyalty to the authorities and of con-
travention to the rumour of a contrary nature. De-
clarations from the portions of the force stationed in
Carlow county, Queen's county. and Longford county,
are contained in the loyal journals of those districts
respectively to-day. The latter declaration, it is
added, bears the signature of every man in the force
in that county.
Taking advantage of the tranquillity which happily
reigns throughout Tipperary, evictions are commenc-
ing there. The Vindicator, local journal, gives to-
day an account of 46 on one property.

CHARGE OF MR. JUSTICE CRAMPTON. 1
Mr. Justice Crampton, after referring to the usual topics I
on the duties they were assembled to discharge, said he bad
been informed that on the part of the crown it was their '
1
inUntion to prefer bills of indictment against certain parties,
wbo were charged with seditious practice., tending to the
disturbance of the public peace. The term sedition was a
comprehensive term, and seemed to include all those
attempts to disturb the public peace which came short of
high treason, but the natural tendency of which was
to incite insurrection and rebellion in the country. In
the earliest period of the law sedition was held to
be allied to high treason, because it always tended
towards it, and was punishable by the law as a felony. At
present sedition was a misdemeanor, punishable oaly by
fine and imprisonment. But it was a high misdemeanor,
because its tendency was to bring the administration of jus-
tice and the sovereign authority of the law into contempt—
to excite dissension amongst the people, and bring tumult
and civil war, and rebellion upon the country, with all their
evil consequences; in short, it was a species of civil mu-
tiny by raising discontent and disaffection amongst the
people. There could be no indictment in the abstract
against sedition, except as • mi lemeanor committed by
speaking or wnting ; _ end the, codaideration of the jury
should be confined to the writings and speeches with which
the parties were charged, and although theA y were
they were calculated to produce sedition. seditiouspecch

or a seditious press might raise up thousands of the people
to combine far the destruction of the commonwealth. It was
well known that liberty was always the pretext with which
the week mad the ignorant were deluded, and by which they
were made to believe they were slaves to a foreign power, and
by which they were taught to believe that they ought to sup-
press the power under which they lived. In no part of the
world did liberty exist to the same extent as under the abet.
Mr of the British monarchy, and in no pert of the world
would writings or speeches such as were laid in those indict-
ments be tolerated except in this country, where the liberty
of speech and of action was the right of every subject in the
United Kingdom. But that liberty of speech and of action
was regulated by la., and had its necessary limits. In
our free country the press was free—every tongue was
free—every man was free to speak end to write as he pleased;
but he was responsible fir what he wrote and spoke, end he
should not use the liberty which the laws afforded him, in
making it a cloak for treason and rebellion. lie should not
disturb the public peace, nor invade the constitution, which
was the protector of his own person and property, and the
persons and properties of the public, end if he did so he was
a traitor to the laws, and should abide the consequences.
Political libels and speeches firmed the sedition to which he
alluded. Whilst political writings and speeches were con-
fined within lawful limits they Wit re not only justifiable but
entitled to respect and praise. A man might, by discussion, I
induce the adoption of measures by the Queen's ministers
which would be beneficial to the state, provided be did so
quietly and peaceably, without imputing corruption to them
who are in charge et the government of the country. A man
might comment upon the proceedings of the House of Com-
mons, the courts iii justice, and the administration of the law;
he might do so in a free cou"try fairly and boldly, as long
LS he did not transgress the bounds of free discussion ; and
even in that respect—even though be should resort to
intemperate language—the law would not hold him
account .ble fur every sentence be might use in the warmth
of debate, when he might be tarried beyond the
limits of discretion by a pregnant whit ct and the flood of his
own eloquence ; but if he passed the limits, if he trespassed
the broad bounds of law, then it was that sedition became
manifest, and that was literally the matter the jury had to
consider. Thus, from the whole scope end tenor of them
speeches and writines which were labd in the indictm, tat,
it it appeared t at the object and ten ency was to alienate the
feelings and affections of the people from the laws end the
Queen—to teach them to believe that they were oppressed
by those laws and government—to bring the admi-
nistration of justice into disrepute, and to stir up the
people to contend against the law and the constitu-
tion by force of arms, contrary to that law—to tamper
with the fidelity of the Queen's otfieers—to invoke foreign
aid against the state—to encourage the disaffected to the
practice of arms for the purpose of inciting to civil war
against the government—to excite tumult by large assem-
blages of the people—all end every speech tending to these
things was clearly seditious, and all such writings were
clearly seditious writings—they came witidn the category
of sedition, end although they did not amount to high trea-
son, they were elm, ly allied to it. He hal stated enough
to describe generally the character of the crimes detailed
in the bills of indictment which would be submitted
fit their consideration. He knew there were some who
disapproved of all prosecutions, especially of state prose-
cutions -some who exhibited a morbid tendency towards
sympathy with offenders of the clans he had de-
scribed, and without consulting fir the public safety,
or their own safety, there were some people to be found
who looked with a favourable eye upset off. nders on public
grounds. But for his part he owned he could not so
those things as those philanthropic persons saw them.—
He looked upon high treason to he the highest mime that
could be committed sipiinst the law, end he viewed seditious
words and seditious speeches caletieted to excite the multi-
tude to insurrection and rebellion, to be closely allied to the
crime of high treason. The motives of the persons using
those seditious writings and speeches might not be treason—
it might be from a love of low popularity they were induced
to use them et the expense of degradation, or from a mis-
chievous propensity and restlessness of mind but whatever
the motives were by which the parties were actuated, they
wete dangerous to the peace of the country—they were et
variance with the Gospel of truth. lie knew that such
practices had not received any countenance from the
great constitutional law), n at former days—from the
Hales, the Holm, and the Manaflelds, nor from the Downes,
the Blushes, and the 'inflow; of our own time—end if ever
there was a time when the application of such incentises to
disorder were dangi runs, that time was the present, when
popular commotion unpirellelled is the history of the world,
hail swept the governments of several countries in Europe
from their insecure foundation. He did not entertain any
apprehension about the security of the institutions of this
country, ha-ed as they are upon the British constitution,
and protected by British valour—under those glorious in-
stitutions there were abundant guarantees fur our safety.—
After referring to the nature of the evidence by which they
would be guided in the considersti•n of the bills about to be
sent up to them, and the nature of their jurisdiction so com-
pared weha petty jury, the learned judge concluded by say-
ing that the determination of the guilt or innocence of t e
parties rested with the grand jury in the first instance, and
if they were satisfied that the writings and the speeches
charged in the indictment were written and spoken by the
parties charged, with the views and motives imputed to
them, were libellous and sedition. in character, they would
find true bills; but if not satisfied in that respect, they
should ignore them.

CONFIDENCE Ix Louu CLAKENDON.—Addresses from
important bodies, having influence undoubted in their lo-
calities, continue to pour into the Castle. The grand jury of
Cork have not inaptly closed their labours by a combined
and unanimous declaration in lavour of law and order. And
an important address from the presbyterian clergy of the
synod of Antrim has been torwsr.led to his excellency.

IMPORTANT MEETING IN BELFAST, IN
SUPPORT OF TUE GOVERNMENT.
This day, a meeting, called by the mayor of Belfast, was
held in the Court-house, in accordance with a requisition,
signed by a large number of the magistrates, bankers, mer-
chants, &c., of the town. The objects of the meeting, as set
forth in the requisition, were :
First,—To declare the public abhorrence of the wicked and rebel-
lions spirit so baldly mantle/gel in the capital and certain ;tango( the
south of Ireland, and at the same tune copraesa confidence in the wis-
dom, energy, and power of the executive to suppress the seditious
movements now in ',roger..
Secondly,—To express our unabated attachment to the throne of
these realms and the Icglolative union of Great ttritain and Irchuul.
Thirdly,—To lager our united rem-ices to his excollenty the lord-
Aeutenant, in any way which may tend to uphold order an -I pro-
mote pea* and good-will among all chow-. of her majesty's subjects.
The Courthouse was crowded, and large numbers of in-
fluential gentlemen, anxious to be present, were unable to
find room. Liberals and tories were alike eager to press for-
ward for the purpose of testifying their attachment to the
throne and constitution, their determination o support the
integrity of the empire, and their abhorrence of the seditious
and rebellious teachings of the disaffected party in Dublin
anti elsewhere. The leading bankers, merchants, manu-
facturers, and professional men of both parties came forward
w.th determined enthusiasm on this occasion.
Resolutions in the spirit of the requisition were passed
unanimously, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon
the lord-lieutenant with an address.—. Northern of
