DENMARK.

"The identical notes sent by Prussia and Austria
to Copenhagen," says theNord, "are far from being
favourable to Danish pretensions. The two Ger-
man powers do not consider as sufficient the con-
cessions of Denmark, which besides have already
been rejected by the States of Holstein. Those con-
cessions, having only a provisional character, can-
not, it is said, offer the elements of a definitive solu-
tion of the difference. The cabinets of Vienna and
Berlin remind Denmark of the arrangements to
which she consented in 1851 and 1862, but which
she appears to have completely forgotten. On the
whole the reply leaves the question in absolutely
the same state. In Denmark this result appears
to have been foreseen, and preparations are being
made to support the conflict which is considered in-
evitable, especially as the Danish people and the
Chambers appear not only to support the ministry,
but even to exercise pressure on it,iu order to make
resistance as inflexible and energetic as possible."

RUSSIA.

A correspondent of the Nord, of to-day, writing
from St. Petersburg, refers to an important ques-
tion now being agitated in Russia. It relates to
the recall of soldiers now on unlimited leave to their
several standards, in order to have ready, at the
period of the promulgation of the abolition of
serfdom, a force for preserving order and pre-
venting complications. The objection urged
against this measure is the enormous expense it
will entail. " Whatever course is taken," says the
Nord, " the Russian government does not intend
to delay the publication of the great act so im-
patiently expected, and the imperial manifesto,
which will announce this social revolution, will
appear definitively on the 3rd of March, two weeks
later, that is, than the period originally fixed."

ST. PETERSBURG, JAIL 2.

UNDUE SPEED ON RAILWAYS.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH, having called attention to
the report of an inquest at which it had been stated by a
government inspector that forty miles an hour war the
highest speed compatible with ealetv, begged to ask the
government whether they would propose any measurefor the
purpose of obviating the danger to the lives of her Majesty's
subjects, which arose from travelling too feat on railways,
and from furious driving in the public streets!
Earl GRAN VILLE slid that as no notice had been given
him of the question he was not prepared to answer it on the
present occasion.

PARIS. Jiro 9.
The Moniteur of to-day publishes a letter ad-
dressed by the Emperor to the Minister of Marine,
in reference to the engagement of labourers on the
African coast for the French colonies. The Em-
pwor announces that he has signed a treaty with
England which authorises the French government
to engage labourers in India for the French colo-
nies. He says :—" We shall find in India and
in the French possessions in Africa as many free
labourers as we require." He consequently orders
the Minister to take measures for prohibiting the
introduction of negroes into the French colonies
after July, 1862, the date of the execution of
the treaty with England.
The Moniker also says :—" The Emperor has
been received with the greatest enthusiasm by the
peasantry of the country surrounding Vichy. His
Majesty makes excursions daily in the environs of
Vichy."

THE WINE DUTIES.

TO TIP IDITOR OP THIB lIPRZOIL
Bra,—You inserted a few days since a letter
signed "H. R. Williams," in which the writer congratulated
the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the considerably in-
creased consumption of French wine since the reduction of
the duty in January. The figures wore correct and the
facts indubitable, but he did not tell all the truth. The
only document which I have at hand, and which specifies
the quantity d sash wine cleared and the different rates of
dutT, is the Board of Trade returns for the three months
aiding the Slat of Mara. This explains why the French
wine powers object to the aleobolie teat. Of the 6118,965
Cilcleared only 330,937 were of low strength enough to
acTletad at the Is. duty, the rest paying L. 9d., 2a. 53.,
and b. lid. respectively.
Referring to the lame returns quoted above it ',peers.
that of the 3,422,000 gallons of wine consumed during the
first quarter of the year. only 330,937 gallons waa French,
at the Is. duty. Mr. Cobden, therefore, if any vale. bto
be attached to the coneemione made by France is favour of

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BRADroRD, MAT "-.—There
has been little doing in wool during the last few de) s. The
American news is no doubt the cause of this, and it is
checking business in every department. Prices, neverthe-
less, are tolerably finn, and no actual redoetion can be
quoted, but spinner's cannot he induced to risk nutritive,
with the great uncertainty that at presentesicts. Wool,at the
Foment high prices, is not an article for prudent speculation.
The price of wool in the country as high as in this market.
The worsted yarn market is decidedly flat. A. great dad
of yarn has been sold within the last few weeks, but the
present aspect of affairs in America appears to have almost
put an end to business in this department. The Russian
orders, which bane been given out, have hitherto been for
the lower qualities ; the buyers for the higher counte do
not operate. Prices remain unaltered. Spinners have
lately cleared out accumulatiens, and more then the
raw material is firmer. The American news influences the
piece market very prejudicially, and there is little or nothing
doing for that quarter. There is rather more doing be the
home homes ; but the shimmy for the Ountineut are doing
very little. At any rate there is a much better feeling with
regard to continental proved', which are said to be much
better and reassuring to those engaged in the trade. Opera-
tions are likely to be speedily resumed for that quarter.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Glom ous OWN

PARIS, THURSDAY EMIT/HA

The Temps, while confirming the news of the
Porte having proposed that a garrison of 1,000 or
1,500 French troops shall be left at Beyrout
until the reorganisation of Syria is completed, says
that the cabinet of London still insists upon the
entire evacuation of the province by June 5, the
date fixed upon at the last conference.
Letters from Constantinople received in Paris
this morning contain the extraordinary statement
that the Porte has authorised England to occupy
St. Jean d'Acre, in given circumstances. If this
news should be believed in France it will create
much excitement. The same letters state, what is
lees improbable, that Sir Henry Bulwer has under-
I taken to provide funds for the despatch of a divi-
['ion of Turkish troops to Syria.
A letter from Frankfort of April 30 states that,
in pursuance of a compromise between the German
Diet and the King of Italy, M. de Barrel will con-
tinue to reside at Frankfort, with his old title of
Piedmontese minister, until the cabinet of Turin
shall formally notify to the Diet the resolutions
voted by the Italian parliament, and then the ques-
tion of the recognition of the kingdom of Italy will
be debated and definitively settled.
The Bourse opened with great firmness. The
Emperor of Austria's speech was well received,
although it is to be observed that, amidst all his
fair professions, he concedes nothing to the Hun-
garians beyond his letters patent of February 28;
and it is certain that Hungary is not contented
with these. Another element in favour of the rise
was the announcement in the Mottiteur that the
commercial treaty with Belgium was signed. The
Rents fluctuated between the quotations of
89fr. 30c. and 69fr. Sc., and closed (with a fall of
Sc.) at 69fr. bc. for cash, and at yesterday's price,
69fr. 15c., for account. Mobilier fell 21r. 50c.
The Eastern Railway rose Ilfr. 25c., and the
other lines were from lfr. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. higher.
Bank of France rose 30fr.
Madame Mirka writes to the Dail that the state-
ment of the Advocate-General at a recent trial, that
her husband had only been kept in secret custody
(au secret) for a week, is incorrect. He has, in
fact, been kept au secret (er two different periods—
March 4to 8, and again from March 12 to 23. She
feels it difficult to say whether he may not be au
secret still, for only three days since his agent
was unable to obtain access to him, and his brother
and sisters recently received a permission good for
one visit only. Madame Mirka states that she her-
self is only allowed to visit her husband three times
a week, and that, during the two months and a
half that he has been in prison, she has never once
seen him except in the presence of a gaoler.
