DENMARK.

By the Electric Telegraph Company's express, free,
Hull, we have received the following :
" By the Victoria steamer, Capt. Dickenson, which
arrived' at Hull yesterday from Hamburg, we beta
received the subjoined intelligence :
"HAMBURG, March 31.—A Prussian courier pas*
through this town on the 28th, bearing a letter front
the King of Prussia to the King of Denmark, replied.
ing him that fromthe time of Christian 1., in the Ht.
teenth century, the successive sovereigns of Denmark
have recognised the ancient stipulation that lid.
stein and Sleswig never should be separated,
upbraiding him for his present intention of
so separating them without . their consent and
against their will, and declaring that he 'beak

Government passed through with despatches far

tingents."
" Denmark has taken possession of the island of
Alsen, situate between the Little Belt and the coast
Sleswick, and of which duchy it is a portion.
" Ks EL, MARCH 29.—The whole country is in aft,
and every exertion has been made, and is still being
made, to put this town in good condition for defence.
Advocate Clansen has returned from his minion to
Berlin. Ten thousand Prussian troops are on the
advance from Berlin and Magdeburg to render as
assistance, should the Dane land a soldier in Sleswidt
or Holstein."
" RENDSBCTRG, MARCH 29.—The troops are in con.
tinual motion for the north of Sleswick. The Danish
war steamer, Heels, made her appearance in Fleuno
burg bay, but the Student gave her so effective a iiro
lute from our heavy guns that she almost immediately
rounded and shortly afterwards disappeared. The
whole population of Ottofer and Fleuvsburg and the
surrounding districts are arming themselves. None
hut British vessels can get chartered for the Belt cc
Baltic."

POLAN D.

The news from Warsaw in the German papers is to
the 26th ult. There had been as yet no outbreak, bat
that fears were entertained of the possibility at it
popular manifestation was evident from the despotic
orders of the authorities. The journals are not
allowed to publish any but court news from Prusis
and Austria, and there was, consequently, the greatest
absence of reliable intelligence. All tire-arms were
ordered to be delivered up, meetings of every kind
were forbidden, &c.
The military government of Warsaw had issued the
following proclamation
By command of his Highness the Staatholderof the king.
dom, I hereby call upon the citizens ol Warsaw, and com-
mand that all, except those civil and miliary officers whom
in active service, to deliver to the police bureau at this plum
any firearms which may be in their possession, within 24
hours alter the publication of this ordinance. Whoever
convicted of concealing any such weapon shall be subiect to a
court-martial. The guns delivered to the polies shall be far-
nished with sealed tickets, stating the name of the owners,
who shall receive a certificate of the delivery of the emulated
weapon.—Aide-de-camp General GOILTSCHAti.OVF.
By command of the military Governor-General, the
superintendent of the police, General Ahamowitsch,
has made known that every person who goes into
the streets after eleven o'clock at night shall carry a
lighted lantern, an obligation from which the military
alone are exempted. Whoever transgresses this order
shall be arrested by the police.

HIGHWAYS BILL.

Sir G. GREY, in moving the second reading of this bill,
said he had made some alteration in it which would remove
an objection that was made to it on the first reading.
Mr. HENLEY hoped a distant day would he fixed for the
committee, in order that the bill might be well considered by
the country.
Mr. FREWEN thought that • better bill might be framed
if the matter were referred to • select committee. The
duties of the district surveyors to be created by this bill,
would be as well discharged by the county magistrates.
Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY said the power of borrowing
money on mortgage of the rates was • dangerous power.
Sir G. GREY said the bill contained such a power; but
under the rroper regulations.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE strongly objected to the clause which
gave the power of apportioning rates amongst several
parishes.
Alter • few worth from Mr. BANXES, the bill was read a
sr cond time.

POLICE.-YE9TERDAY.

WORSHIP-STREET. CNARTIST INTIMIDATION.
Hugh Doho-ty was charged with having made use of tria
lent and threatening language, with a view of inciting an
assemblage of nieces persona to attack the police.—Sergeant
Teakle, of the II division, stated that he was passing trough
Brick-lane, Spits Melds, shortly before noon on the preced-
ing day, when he observed a crowd, consisting of at least 200
persons, assembled round the shop of a tradesman named
(hove, who called out to the witness, and in great alarm re-
quested protection from the violence of the mob, who had
threatened to burn down hie house under the erroneous im-
pression that he was a special constable, and that he had
given evidence against some of the prisoners implicated in
the recent chartist disturbances in that neighbourhood. After
cautioning them as to the serious consequences that must re-
sult from inch lawless proceedings, he ordered them to dies
peese, but as they doggedly refused to do so he obtained the
assistance of several other constables' on whose appearance
the prisoner instantly raised a cry of" Down with the police
and specials," and wu proceeding to address some observa-
tions to the mob about "the glorious cause they were en-
gaged in," when he was stopped short by the witness, who
seized him by the collar and hurried hiss off to
the station-house. The rest of the rabble, however,
continued prowling about to the extreme terror of the neip-
bourhood for several hours, and their number at one time
amounted to at least 600 of the lowest characters in the dis-
trict.—When called upon for his defence, the prisoaer, in a
whining tone, which contrasted rather ludicrously with the
lofty mock heroic he had indulted in overnight, begged the
magistrate to deal mercifully with him as be had acted under
the influence of intoxiestion.—Mr. Arno:d said that it was
necessary to impress upon such characters u the prisoner
that the law was sufficiency strong to afford ample protec-
tion to those whom. duty it was to preserve public order, and

moos on the detallicif a measure, u to the principle of
which they are agreed—betrays a lingering desire on
the part of each to turn the present balance of parties
to their own profit. Each bent upon establishing a
character for superior tact and knowledge at the ex-
pense of the other, is willing to endanger the prin-
ciple they affect to have at heart in their contest.
The Putties are ready to throw out the ministerial
measure, that they may come in and carry one essen-
tially the same ; the ministers will yield nothing to
the Peelites, lest the public should award the greater
share of confidence to the latter. Both are thinking
more of their own interests and reputation than of the
repeal of the navigation laws, although aware that
the House of Lords is ready to take advantage of
their discord to prevent the repeal. The liberals will
not pardon such self-seeking, for they have the success
of the measure at heart. 'I he protectionists will not
thank them for reprieve thus granted to the navigation
laws, for they cannot rid themselves of the foreboding
that it i after all, but a reprieve. The whole nation
want men who will legislate for its benefit, not
gamesters who will attack or defend sham measures,
in order to gain majorities and establish a claim to
place.

THE ASSEMBLY AT FRANKFORT.
AN AUSTRIAN M
ARMY ASSEMBLED TO
ENTER LOBARDY.
_ _ .

----
FRANKFORT.—The assembly of deputies ap-
pointed to make arrangements for convoking a Ger-
man parliament was constituted on the 31st of
March. The Senate had taken measures for the
preservation of the peace and the protection of the
deputies. Proclamations, calling upon the citizens to
co-operate in maintaining order and pacifying the
peasantry within the territory of the city by promises
of constitutional reform, were issued. The troops of
the line and the town guard were kept in readiness.
Guards were stationed on the various lines of rail-
way at Mayence, Mannheim, Darmstadt, &c., to
prevent armed parties or individuals from approach-
ing Frankfort. As early as the 29th preparations
for the reception of tke deputies began to be made;
the houses were adorned with flags, draperies, &c.
By mid-day of the 30th about 300 deputies had
arrived, 700 being the number expected. Tickets for
the public, to the number of 2,000, were issued and
disposed of in the course of a few hours. Dr. Eisen-
burg, M. Gagern, and M. Struve, were enthusiasti-
cally welcomed: a torch procession was got up in
honour of the last-mentioned statesman. A prelimi-
nary meeting was held in the Weidenbiuich on the
evening of the 29th, at which the advocates of a
republic and those of a constitutional monarchy are
said to have maintained their respective tenets with
considerable heat.
At the Pint public meeting of the deputies on the
31st of March N. Mittermaier was chosen president ;
Messrs. Dahlman,ltzstein, Jordan, and Robert
Blum, vice-presidents. The secretaries are, Messrs.
Bauer (Bamberg), Schwarzenberg (CamelW
),
gong Muller Muller (Dusseldorf), Georges Varrentrapp
(Frankfort-on-the-Main), Kierulf (Rostock), Blank-
enhorn (MuUheim), Briegleb (Cobourg), and Simon
(Breslau). The meeting declared itself competent to
make arrangements for convening a constituent as-
sembly, resolved to recognise the duchies of Sleswig

police not deeming it prudent to use their fire arms. A
troop or Dragoon', with Sir C.O'Donnell and Mr. Tabuteau,
R M., assisted the police. Four boys were made prisoners for
atone throwing; and I must say that the forbearing conduct
of the police and military, both officers and men, cannot be
lauded too highly. The force in camp was augmented to-
day by the arrival of 240 marines.

to be present at the regatta which was about to take place at
that port. The Custom-house authorities, it is said, sus-
pected that Mr. Cuthbert would be likely to tranship some
of the were, of the Melissa on board his yacht, and sent no
tice to the tide-offerers at Belfast to keep a look-out for him.
Accordingly, when La Belle Anglesea reached her destina-
tion, she was starched, and 15 lbs. of &gars, and 9 bottles of
wine, were found on board, which Mr. Cuthbvrt at once
admitted he had removed from the stores of the Melissa, on
her !mange down the Cljde. The articles were forthwith
seized, and the owner of the yacht was transferred to gaol,
where he mu-t remain, unless the penalty of 1001. be paid.
The yacht wee also seized, and will be sold • she is said to be
worth about 2001. On the return of the Melissa to Scotland
the master will be liable to a penalty of 1001. for violation of
hia bond.

CAPITULATION OF MILAN

The following appeared in the Daily News of this
morning :
A despatch from our Paris coricapondent, received
by electric telegraph from 1/over, and dated Paris,
yesterday evening, states that, according to the last
accounts arrived from Italy, Char'ea Albert had eva-
cuated Lombardy at the head of 13,000 men, and that
Milan had capitulated.

ITALY.

We have received our correspondence from Naples
to the sth. The elections are taking place in the
provinces, and forty-one deputies are to be returned
from places which previously had sent no representa-
tives to the chambers. Naples itself continues tran-
quil, although the military preparations would appear
to indicate some apprehensions of a popular move-
meat. From an active recruiting that is taking
I place for the army, it is surmised that the king in-
tends to recommence hostilities in Sicily, but this
question is likely soon to be set at rest, as the Ron.
W. Temple, the ambassador, had arrived with the
ultimatum of the British government. A French
steamer, arrived from Sicily on the 3rd, brought news
that affairs remained in the same state in that island.
The Neapolitan Five per Cents. were at 83t.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the Bth, under
date of Venice the 2nd, states that the Solon, French
war steamer had arrived, and that the commandant
had had an interview with Admiral Albini, command-
ing the Sardinian squadron off Venice. It was re-
ported that he had come to protest, in the name of the
French government, against the presence of the Sar-
dinian fleet in the seas of Venice, as a violation of the
armistice. A few hours after an English war steamer
arrived, and, going alongside the admiral's ship, the
captain had an interview with the admiral, also pro-
teeting,in the name of the English government, on the
same grounds. The Solon had come from Naples, and
the English steamer from Trieste.

Private letters from Rome, of the 4th, announce as

were contradicted generally by the different witnesses, that

the indictment must fail to the ground, the act of parliament

of Not Guilty.

SERIOUS VIOLENCE TO A PRISONER.—The Mayor

against a policeman, named Smith, who, it appeared, struck
• drunken prisoner, named Heath, with a fire-shovel, and
fractured his jaw. The mat or said the magistrates exceed-
ingly regretted the occurrence. They were of opinion that
the policeman Smith, in the exercise of his duty, had used
unnecessary violence. The prisoner Heath would be at-
tended by a surgeon, at the expense of the magistrates, and
the policeman Smith would be suspended, and his case
brought before the watch committee at the next meeting.
The decision of the bench elicited an unmistakeable expres-
sion of approval from • number of persons assembled in the
gallery of the court.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Filar o'Clock.
EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

The following news from Paris, up to yesterday at
noon, received by electric telegraph, appeared in the
Daily News this morning:—
The debates on Saturday on Italy, and the recent
news from Naples, are the topics of discussion in all
circles. The apology for Austria, delivered by M.
Guizot, is the subject of indignant reprobation from
all parties, save the immediate adherents of the
cabinet.
The Three per Cents., at the Passage de L'Opera,
were offered on Sunday night at 74 65, demanded at
74 60.

There are no advices from southern Italy more re-
cent than those already given. Letters from Lom-
bardy of the 26th represent the reign of terror to
prevail there. It was the purpose of Radetaki to
expatriate 600 leading citizens of Milan; this was
opposed by the viceroy, and not executed. All clubs
and societies in Milan were closed by the police, even
including charitable institutions. The consumption of
tobacco diminished by nearly a million cigars per
month. Theatres were deserted, no balls, uo soirees,
society was paralysed, subscriptions were opened in
all the chief towns in favour of the wounded in the
late massacre.

The Madrid mails of the 25th have arrived. Eipar-
tero had written to the senate declaring his intention
of leaving for Lognano ; he was, however, still con-
fined to his bed by influenza. His name was first
included among the invited to the royal fetes, but
was struck out on Queen Christina declaring
that, if he were invited, she would not be present. It
is certain that, out of this affair, a serious fetid had
arisen. No progresistas were invited to the grand ball
of the 23rd.
Accounts from Catalonia continue to report Carl ist
movements, notwithstanding Gen. Pavia's declaration
that the insurrection was suppressed.

JEWISH DISABILITIES.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the city of West-
minster, for the purpose of petitioning parliament to remove
the remaining Jewish disabilities, was held yesterday at the
Hanover-square Rooms; Mr. Smedley, the high-bailiff, in
the chair. Letters were intimated fr-m the following noble-
men and gentlemen, excusing themselves from attendance,
for various reasons, but all expre,sing their concurrence:--
Messrs. Thompson, M.P., C. P. Grenfell, M.P., J. Wilson,
M.P., Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P., Messrs. E. Divett, M.P.,
J. Matheson, M.P., Lord D. C. Stuart, M.l'., Right Hon.
Fox Haute, H.P., Mr. G. Moffatt, M.P., Lord Marcus Hill,
M.P., Sir E. Colebrooke, M.P. Myers. E. Hutt, M.P.,

M.P., J. L. Ricardo,'
M.P., E. De Vear, M P., B. flames,
Esq T. B. Macaulay, and Dr. Lankester. The High
Bailiff having opened the proceedings,
J. MACGREGOR, Esq. M.P., moved the first resolution:
That considering the existence of relies,us restrictions on the
exercise and enjoyment of civil rights and privileges to be at variance
with justice and couri policy, and contrary to the presentspirit and
practice ca the constitution, and that the Jewish people, being subject
to all burdens ,nd °big:Atone unleting :objects of this kingdom, lure
always shown tbenuelves wiWag to discharge their duties as "Wren:,
and loyally and peaceably to yield obedieJoe to the laws and statutes
of the ream, this meeting fires Ito best suppart to bet Majesty's
staters in their planate of removing from the statute.book the re-
'paining civil ili,tunues of the Jews, an obnoxious remnant of ages
of Intolerant legislation.
The hon. member expatiated upon the injustice and im-
policy of longer continuing any dicabilities upon a class of
men so inoffensive and so industrious as the Jews, and
pointed out the beneficial effect which the measure contem-
plated by the government would have upon the condition of
the Jews in other ocesntries—in Germany, in the Austrian
dominions, &c., where the Jews, far more numerous than
they were here, at present laboured under many political
and civil disabilities. In Holland, Belgium, France, where
the Jews had been admitted to exactly the same rights and
privileges with the rest of the community, no effects injuri-
ous to the established religion of the state had been /ape.
rienced. He vindicated the character of the Jews from the
imputation of dishonesty and over-inching, so generally
attributed to it, and declared his conviction, derived from
long experience, that the Jews in their dealings were to the
full as honest and fair dealing as any other commercial men.
He mentioned the fact that the prosperity of the Rothschilds
