The Daghladet of to-day, in its review of the

further than to offer to rvnounoe, as far as regards
the badget for the present year, the application of
the royal ordinance of Sept. 26, 1859, which fixed
the share of Holstein in the expenses of the whole
monarchy. From this concession it would follow
that for the current year the Danish government
would content itself with the contribution of a
smaller share by Holstein, in the hope, however,
that affairs might enter upon a more satisfactory
phasis next year."

are called, lead to Albert-street, which is quite
the central region of all this change. The King Ed-

FATAL soar ACCIDENT IN PLYMOUTH

POUND.

An accident of a very melancholy nature occurred
on Monday afternoon. The day had been unusually squally,
and the sudden gusts of wind from the south-east rendered
it exceedingly dangerous for small boats to navigate the
Bound. One boat, while sailing under the Hoe, was caps
sized, and two of her occupants were drowned. It hp
pears that a party of three pm +one, named Ellen
Baker, Elizabeth Baker, bee con .in, and Tryphewa
Brown, were desirous of proceeding from Cosside to the
Leda steamer, which was to leave Millbay Pier for
Portsmouth at 6 p.m. Ellen Baker, a little mrl,
had come front Portsmouth a fortnight ago to mat
her grandmother, residing at Coxside, and was about to
return borne by the Leda. The three took a boat at the
Creek, in Sutton Pool, named Little John, the property
of Mr. Baker, which was under the charge of two
young men, named Thomas Luke and William Hill.
All went well until the bait was under the Hee,
when a sudden gust of wind caused the sail to jibe
and upset the boat, and all five persons Were thrown
into the water. The little girl, Ellen Baker, and Tryphenia
Brown, immediately sank and did not rise agent. Hill,
who sworn towards the chore, was picked up, and Eliza.
beth Baker caught bold of Luke's legs, and by the help of
her crinoline the two were enabled to keep shove water,
until James Cooper Fool and Joseph Symons, caulkers of
her Majesty's dockyani, tame alongside ;ma picked them
up. They were taken to the Millisiy.pier, and thence to
the Pier Hotel, where restoratives were promptly admini-
stered. He &ti amistance was at once scot for, and Dr.
Retail, ou arriving found that the persons who had so
narrowly escaped were sufficiently recovered to be pro'
nounoed out of danger. In the evening they were cos-
veyed to their homes. Ford and Symons immediately
went out in search of the others, and towed the boat
some distance, when she sank. Every effort was made to
reoover the bodies of those who had pedalled, but up to
Monday night without sumer. The young woman,
Brown, was under au engagement to be married within s
few days.

obtained that the jurisdiction of the Court of Probate did
attend to the said will, had not only been unable, through
the connivance of the local authorities, to recover the pro-
perty of the testator, but had even been prohibited from
leaving Lima, though it had been certified by proper medical
authority that his detention in that climate was likely to
prove fatal to hiss.
Lord PALMERSTON said that Captain Carvell bad ar-
rived in Lima M Feliniary last, and applied for execution
of the will of his father-in-law, Mr. Winder, and on his ar-
rival found the natural son of his father-in-law in possession
of certain bonds which constituted the property of that
person. Captain Carvell applied to the Peruvian govern-
ment to attach the bonds, but in the meantime young
Winder absconded, and Mrs. Winder, the widow of Captain
Carvell's father-in-law, mum forward to dispute the will.
The Peruvian government called on Captain Carvell to re-
remain in Peru, and either himself or by authorisation to prose-
cute his claim. He denied the competency of the government
to adjudicate on the case and applied to Mr.Jornitigham,
the consul. That gentleman applied to the Peruvian govern-
meat to release Captain Carvell from the necessity formaying,
and the government bad refused. The case was a compli-

OXFORD.

The election of a "fit and proper person" to
supply the vacancy occasioned in the representation of the
city of Oxford by the appointment of Mr. Cardwell, the late
Secretary for Ireland, to the post of Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster. took place yesterday, in the yard ad-
joining the Town-hall. As it was known that the re-election
of the right hon. gentleman would be unopposed, the pro-
ceedings were divested of the interest which usually attaches
to an election, awl the attendance was not so numerous as
it has been upon other occasions.
At 12 o'clock the Mayor (Mr. Sadler), accompanied by the
Town Clerk, Mr. Cardwell, and several of the principal sup-
porters of the right bon. gentleman, appeared upon a bal.
cony overlooking the Town-hall-yard, and the prdheedings
at once commenced. . .

•The customary formularies having been gone through, anti
the mayor having claimed a patient hearing for all persons,
Mr. PIKE, one of the city magistrates, proposed the re-
election of Mr. Cardwell. . . .

Mr. Joe►rH CASTLE seconded the nomination.
No other candidate being proposed, Mr. Cardwell wee
declared duly elected.
Mr. CAituwau. then came forward amid loud cheers to
address the electors. He said—Gentlemen, all that now

ITALY.

The Austrians have suddenly evacuated the
portion of Mantuan territory lying on the riglt
bank of the Po. It appears that this move, which
has no strategical importance, has been decided on
in order, it asserts, to prevent desertion, rendered
peculiarly easy by the vicinity of the frontier.
A Turin letter of the 27th says :

The bureaux of the Chamber have unanimously rejected
the bill introduced by the Minister of War for granting
10,000 fr. • year as • national recompense to General
Cialdini. To pass such a bill, it was considered, would
be setting • bad precedent; besides, it would have
had the effect of perpetuating • reminiscence of civil war
which cannot be too soon forgotten. Another argument
against the bill wee drawn from the example of Garibaldi,
who remains as poor as ever after the conquest of • king-
dom. General de lamarmora, whose interpellations and
the result they obtained you already know, this morning
sent to the King his renignation of the command of the
caps d'armfe of the Mincio, in face of the Austrians, the
most difficult and most important military position in the
country.

The Unita Italian of Genoa states that although
General de Lamarmora has offered his resigna-
tion, it is by no means probable that King Victor
Emmanuel will accept it.

NAPLES, MAace 29, 6.30 ?At.

An unimportant demonstraiiou has been made
by about 400 persons styling themselves Garibal-

These persons were dispersed by the authorities
with great moderation.
The republican newspapers are raising unjust
accusations against the government.
General Rocca has published an otder to the
effect that no person may wear the Garibaldian red
flannel shirt without being able to prove that he
has belonged to the Garibaldian volunteers.
Yesterday the police confiscated some five-grani
pieces bearing the effigy of Francis 11., which had
been sent from Rome.

THE REVENUE

Tag Customs for the quarter show en increase of
nearly 230,0001., arising chiefly on corn, rum,
brandy, and wine, and also on the new stamp
charges. The increase in the items mentioned
amounts to 400,0001., but it is reduced to 230,000/.
by a falling off in other items, chiefly tea, tobacco,
and wood.

On the quarter there is an increase of about
350,000 f. in the Emirs, arising from the ac-
celerated payment of the malt credits. The
increase would have been greater but for a loss
upon spirits, owing to large quantities having been
removed from bond in the corresponding quarter
of last year in anticipation of the increased duty.
Under the bead of stamps there is an increase
of 50,0001., arising from the new duties imposed
last session.

In the land and assessed taxes there in no
variation.

There is a decrease on the quarter in the income
t►s of asarly 2,000,000 i. ; but it arises from the
change in the mode of collection.
The Post-office shows a small decreewe on the
quarter.

A Lisbon journal states that the parish priest of
a place called Lavre is arrested on a charge of in-
fanticide. Haying seduced a girl, who became
while living with him the mother of a boy, he
baptised the child as soon as it was born, and im-
mediately afterwards strangled it—thus affording
an extraordinary instance of the compatibility of
sincere religious belief with the settled determina-
tion to commit the most ferocious crimes. It is
well known that in the Roman States there used
to be professional assassins who would kill • man
for 10 solidi, provided they were permitted to give
him time to say • prayer ; but if required expressly
to kill him without a moment's notice, the strain
upon their conscience was such that they required
double the money.

I believe that about two months ago a despatch
was addressed to our consulate by the home Iso-

trade marks by foreign manufacturers. This evil
prevails to a great extent in Lisbon, and much to
the detriment of our Sheffield and Birmingham
manufacturers. The Germans are the chief offenders,
and some firms make no scruple of putting any
English maker's name upon goods. T. take one
small case out of many. There are the needles of
"James Holyoake," which are imitated to such
an extent that more of them are made in Germany
than in England ; and many more instances can
be quoted to prove how necessary it is for some-
thing official to be done in the matter.
