HOLSTEIN.

PRANHPORT-ON-THE•YAINE, Nov. 28.

The Danish government has made to the Federal
Diet, through the medium of its representative at
Frankfort, the following proposal for settling the
dillieulties of the Holstein question:

A committee, one half of the members of which is
to be appointed by the General Council of State of
Denmark, and the other half by the Diet of the Duchy
of Holstein, is to be assembled at Copenhagen. This
committee is to propose the modifications which are
to be made in the constitution of Holstein. The
proposed modifications are to be submitted to the
direct examination of the Diet of Holstein before the
Danish government is to decide definitively on the
subject of the proposals of the committee. The Diet
of Holstein would in that cue have a consultative
vote on the project of the proposed reforms of its
oonstitation. It is said that Prussia is not quite
satisfied with this proposal of Denmark, and claims
the full acceptance of all the reclamation, of Holstein,
Lida's* that the Dietof Holstein is not to have icon.
sultative but a deliberative and definitive vote. As it
is likely that the Court of Copenhagen will not agree
to this demand of Prussia, it is said that the whole
question of the German Duchies will be submitted to
the approaching Congress.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(rime ova owic coutzsporamm)
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The much-heralded pamphlet, " Napoleon 111. et
Vltalie," made its appearance this morning, and its
leading features are by this time the principal theme
of political conversation in every country io Europe.
My own opinion, after having carefully read the
sixty-four pages of its contents, is that the manifesto
amounts to a declaration of war against Austria.
As to the authority of the pamphlet, it would be
affectation to palter with the universally-received fact
that it is written by M. de la Guerronnidre, at the
dictation of the Emperor. It is undoubtedly a very
able production.
At the Bourse the pamphlet was the one absorb-
ing subject of conversation. Almost every other
man you saw there was to be seen reading it. Evan
the huissiers and porters of the establishment had it
in their hands. Its effect upon the feverish market
was disastrous. The Rente, notwithstanding the
immense fall of yesterday, was utterly without
buoyancy until just the clue, when there was a
slight reaction from the lowest point of the day.
The Rente fell 50c, for cash and 6.5 c. for account,
closing at 66fr. 90c. and 66fr. Bk. Mobilier fell
17fr. 60c. The Orleans railway fell 17fr. 60c., and
the other lines from 6c. to 10c.

mediately, at the request of the Avon's captain, to

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

The following is a translation of the message of
Ms Excellency the Lord High Commissioner of the
lonian Islands to the Legislative Assembly :

Mr. President and GoutleiTaen,—Her Majesty the protect-
ing sovereign, hating recently thought fit to despatch a com-
missioner to the lonian Islands to examine into their politi•
col and administrative system, was pleased to lay her com-
mands upon me to undertake this office and to lay before her
Msjesty the results.
I found it my duly humbly to submit rc,oromendations to
her 3lsjeety on the subject which her Majesty had instructed
me to examine.

Her Majesty has decided that a prompt readjustment of
the lonian constitution would beet give effect to her Nuevo-
,' nt intention, and would conduoe to the wellbeing of the
lonian people, for the older •ud the newer puts of that
constitution, belonging to difforent systems, sod not pre-
senting provisions of a nature to establish harmony between
them, are more or lees in conflict with one another, so
that the existing guarantees, w►ether for popular rights
on the one hand, or for the moral influence and vigorous
salon of the lonian government on the other, world admit
of improvement.
Her Majesty has thought fit to in'rost me with the powers
and office of Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands
for this occasion.

Fora purples so grave, and from its own natuee oo urgent,
the assembly has been summoned to meet earlier thin multi
in an extraordinary /anion.
At the moment of its gathering together I lom nu time in
informing the assembly that it is my intention, on the
embed day that shell be found convenseM, to boy before it
In a speech the principal matters which have appeared to her
Majesty to require attention, with a view to the Increase of
the bleesings of good government in these islands.
I hove the honour to be, Mr. President awl gentlemen,
Your most obedient and bumble servant,
W. E. GLADSTONE.
By command of his Exe 311ancy,

in the Ecclesiastical Conn for • divoroe in menu et Otero,
the grounds then alleged by her being cruelty u well as
adultery. The roes caused conaiderable sensation at the
time, sod after a peotracted basting, the adultery wee con-
sidered proud, and a sentenoe of divans passed. Mrs.
Ciocids object in aisle beinginglorward her wrongs is to

offer. over the old divorce in menet et thou.
The ease having been mentioned by Dr. Phillimoro,
Bir C. Cromwell expressed the peat doubt be felt so to
whether he had power again to revive a suit which had
already been diumed of. To entertain this cause would
be swum ague, and the petitioner would on her part rue no
risk ; to even if be were to decide that adultery had not been
proved, Mrs. Ciocci would still retain ber divorce a mew et
thorn. Of courts he did not at this slope refuse to hear the

the point would be fully mused at the bar before be wee

RIPLEY V. LORDEN-A 41:11T YIBLID.

Tbis was an action to recover the pries of • machine
for cutting "picker waste." The question wee whether the
machine was Bt for the purpose for which it was roads. The
jury, at the trial before Mr. Justice Crowder, found for the
plaintiff for 201. The gumption now was whether there should
be a new trial upon the ground that the verdict was against
the evidence.
Mr. Justice Crowder said the jury was told that this
machine was to be made for the purpose of compounding ell
sorts of unpleasant things to make gelatine, for which he
believed there was no foundation, and they seemed to have
decided against the defendant mainly on account of that
statement. He bad made a note at the time that be thought
the verdict was against the evidence.
The Lord Chief Justice, after hearing counsel for the
plaintiff, said the court agreed with Mr. Justice Crowder that
the:verdkt was unastisfactory, and that there must be a new
trial.
Rule absolute fur a new trial.
