DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

IMPORTANT FROM SCHLESWIG.

The Cologne Gazette has a telegraphic despatch,
dated Altana, Sept. 9, stating that on theprevioss day
an action bad taken place along the whole line of the
outposts. The fighting was more especially live),
about the left wing of the Schleswig-Holstein army.
This, consisting of the 9th and 11th infantry battalion,
and the lst cavalry battalion, was at first forced to fall
beak upon &ideate* ; after which, reinforcements
having arrived, the Danes were thrown into disorder
by them, and passed back to the Treene. Fifty-
eight prisoners were brought into Rendsburg, while
nice wagohs of the wounded of the first cavalry bat-
talion a'rived at Heide.

The centre of thl3ohlearrig-Holstein army has

CUSTOMS DUTIES ).N..III3INMARK AND TEE

DUCHIES.

We have already stated that oa the 25th ult. an
interim law was promulgated in Copenhagen aasimi-
latirg the rates of duties on imported goods in the
Danish provinces and Schleswig, and entrusting their
colic ction to one common customs department. The
law intimates that the same assimilation is hereafter
to be extended to Holstein. The duties on imports
in the duelling have hitherto been extremely moderate,
those in Denmark Proper exorbitantly high, and im-
posed for protective purposes. In the new tariff,
which is to be common to the German and Danish
the old Danish rate, of duty are in some
faaaaaw lowered, but even then they are kept much
higher than those which have hitherto obtained in the
chaise. The following table shows the difference
between the Danish duties (new and old) and the
Getman duties.

NVORSHIP.STREET.

ALLEGED ROBBERY fig MEANS OF ChLoitoYoßM.--i
Etisahetta Snsith was charted with stealing a ails•er watc►,
gold ring, aid nearly the whole of his perscnal elothiNt.
hem Mr. F. H. Jewitt, of Lime-street, City, and Westbana,
in Essex.
Sergeant Kelly, of the Il division, stated that shortly
before 8 o'clock on Friday morning, the prosecutor was
brought in a c►b by one of Isis friends to the station-house iu
Leenumetreet, where he entered into a statement to the
edict that, while passing tnrough Whitechapol-road or. the
preceding evening he was suddenly jostled against by a corpu-
lent middle aged woman, who raniuly moved a hauelkere
chief over his mouth, end he was immediately seized by a
settling of stupor, which was succeeded shortly afterwards by
to•al Insensibility. He remained wholly unconscious of
everything that ensued afterwards until the following morn-
ing, when he peril recevere d his senses, and found him-
self stretched upon a wretched bed, at a low lodging-house,
in Torawl-street, Seitalfields, completely stripped of nest.)
the whole of his clothing, and that Lie watch, Mg,
and a considerable sum in loose silver hed ale
disappeared. As soon as he became sensible of
his situation he raised a loud outcry, which at-
tracted the attention of a young man named Saunders, who
lodged in the upper part of the house, rind with whcse as-,
sistance he was conveyed in s cab to the residence of the
friend who accompanied him to the station-house. On re-
ceiving the above information witness at once repaired to
the house in Thrawl-street, and on scarchis g the apartn•ert
in which the robbery had beet committed, he discovered the
hat and boots of the prosecutor concealed unit( r the bid, and
having ascertained that the room had been for some gme
past in the joint occupation of the prisoner and a woman
named Higans, both of whom had absconded, he proceeded
in search of them, and shortly afterwards succeeded in ap-
prehending the latter, but the prisoner eluded pursuit until
• the preceding evening. The sergeant added, that irvu
enquiries he had made that morning, he ha ascertained
that the prosecutor was still connncd at home under the care
of a surgeon from the effects of the treatment to which Le
had been subjected, and that he was unable at present •o
, attend and give evidence in 'option of the charge.
The prisoner denied all patticipation in the robbery, and
j was ordered to be remanded.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN.-MEETING OF THE
PEACE SOCIETY.

103, Westboura►tsersee, bleuday Eraaing, Jas. 14.
MT DM Sfa,—Another outrage is to be offered
to the moral sense of the civilised world. It is raid
that a Russian loan is to be raised in the City of
London. The Cossack hordes have fulfilled their
mission in Hungary : witness her wasted fields, her
smoking villages, and her scaffold■ flowing with the
blood of her noblest patriots; and now the savage
instruments of all this devastation and slaughter are
clamorous for their wages.
Englishmen—aye, the capitalists of London—are,
it seems, to furnish the blood-money! If so, for the
credit of the age and the character of our Christian
country, let an indignant protest be heard in reproba-
tion of this unholy and infamous transaction. The
Peace Congress Committee, to whom was entrusted
the carrying out of the reso:ution. passed at Paris,
condemnatory of these loans, will, I hope, call a public
meeting in the City, at which I will most gladly
attend. Let it be at the earliest possible moment—
Friday or Saturday, at the latest.
And believe me, faithfully yours,
RICHD. COBDEN.

Rev. Henry Richard, Secretary,
Peace Congress Committee.
[An official ratement of Hits amount, terms, and
conditioLs of this loan will we found under the head of

WEST INDIES.

JAMAICA, Dec. 4.

I think matters are a little improving here—at
least least the price of coffee is on the rise ; but then we
have thrown nearly all tho coffee up, some entire
properties having been abandoned. But the state of
actual destitution in which we have all been is not
half b,beved or understood in England. One bad
iffect of the long drought has been that it tempted
many to steal; and now that the necessity, so to
speak, of stealing to prevent starving has ceased, the
habit with many continues nevertheless. In all
moral things the negroes are going back, and as they
become poorer, gradually lapse into their original
state of barbarism. One instance will suffice to show
the desperate state of depression into which this
island has fallen :

There is a property containing 8,000 acres, twenty
miles from the coast, to which a moat costly road has
been made. It grows sugar, coffee, ginger, and every
produce we him, posstsers a beau:Mil climate, has
dwellings, out-houses, work.. tank., az.d ponds on it,
and this can bo bough: fat 4001. lam not mire that
3001. down would not secure it. Toere's a chance for
a small company to see what they can do. The
ON ner has from time to time laid out 20,0001. in loads,
woik, and buildings. I hope to give a better account
tf things in my next. FATHOM.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

RENEWAL OF OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS.
Our sews from the Duchies shows that off.nsive
loperations were commenced by the Sohleswig•Hol-
steinere on the 12th, and continued without any
definitive result on the 13th inst.

On the 12th inst., s ys a Hamburgh letter of
September 13, the entire Holstein army advanced,l
and made an attack on the whole Danish hue. The
fabling, as at Idstrdt, was very fierce, especially at
Eckernforde, which was taken and retaken twice
during the day ; and then remaining in the bands ofl
the Holete lucre, who establiehed their heaSequarters
there in the afternoon. The town had then suffered
severely, the Danish ships of war stationed in the
harbour fired broadside; until the Holeteiners, having
brought up some heavy guns to the coast, compelled
'hem to leave. The wounded were sent to
Kiel, and filled fourteen earrieges. At pre-
Rent it rannot be ascertained whether any Russian
weals took part in the attack on Eckernforde; certainly
la number of then were present during the engage.
ment. Toe Danish camp, strongly entrenched before
E kernforde, was taken after three assaults] by the
Hoisteiners, and afterwards destroyed by fire. It is
said that the Friedrichstadt was likewise burnt. The
strong Danish trenches at Denmark were carried by
the bayonet, sad the carnage must have bean fright-
ful. At daybreak on the morning of the 13th the
battle was renewed with redoubled Airy. General
Willisen matched on Waren& to force the Schlei.
He was attacked by the Danes in the forest of Camel,
and driven bask. He withdrew behind Eadurraforde.
The Holstein army surrendered Eckernfords on the
18th, and resumed its position of the 12th.
A letter in the Hamburg Borsenhalle, of the 13th,
says that the Danes were too strong at Missundet_and
that in the engagement there the Schleswig-Hol-
stainers had 129 dead and wounded—amongst them
6 officers. They male 80 Danish prisoners, of whom
82 had bees meet to Gluckstad%

A letter from Hiel, of Sept. 12, says : " The Jager
corps left here yesterday. Major Deli% of the artil-
lery, a member of the Assembly, was summoned last
night to head-quarters. The Assembly has to-day
nominated a committee to report on the negotiations
of the Staathalterechsft with German governments; bat
decked to entertain, at the present moment, several
propositions on the interior administration of the
duchy.

THE WOMAN UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH

IN NEWOATE.

A cue is now before the public that muffed at
the Sessions House, Old Bailey; on Friday lest, which
demand. SOW interposition on the part of the friends
of humanity. A woman is sentenced to be hanged,
not on a fact, bat on an opinion. Ann Merritt was
charged with having poisoned her hatband by ad-
ministering to him arsenic. The wretched woman
admits buying the poison, and taking from it the
label marked with the word " poison," and most
tbougittlessly placing it in the only cupboard they
pomessed, screwed up in a piece of paper, in which
same cupboard, screwed opal' similar pieces of paper,
were powders of soda and acids bought by the ounce,
and not in doses, to form effervescing draughts, in the
frequent use of which her husband indulged. Her

the admission of the public to the sittings, as the
government only intends to give two tickets to each
member, so that the eight elected members could only
have sixteen persons present to bear the debate out
of a population of 120,000. Seats for reporters for
the press the liberal government refuse!, as it has a
horrid terror of anything being done publicly. This
point has to be discussed, as also a proposition of the
governor to send strangers out, upon a motion by any
member, without assigning a cause. This was
proposed for the purpose of excluding any
newspaper reporter who may, chance to get
a ticket. During a trifling debate, Mr. Lushington,
the chief secretary to government, in a haughty and
imperative manner, when speaking about the admis-
sion of reporters, said :—" There is not a national
paper in Malts ; they all belong to a party." During
the debate, Mr. Lushington said, " It is the will of
the government." The Rev. M. Amato said, " The
word will is too imperative, and not parliamentary."
Mr. More O'Ferrall will find that he has got sharp
tools to work with, and must be careful he does not
cut himself.
The governor sent home by the Ripon a statistical
account of the Italian passengers who arrived in Malta,
in 1848 and 1849, so that he may be enabled to show
to parliament that the island was swarming with
strangers. This I suppose he has done fearing a
stormy debate in the ensuing parliament, upon the
refugee question. I ant sorry to say that Malta is not
now swarming with Italians. They spent a con-
siderable sum here, and not one of the hundreds who
arrivtd was ever taken up by the police or figured
before the court.

IRELAND.

Dristur, Jaw. 22.
Some interesting proceedings took place yesterday
evening at the Royal Dublin Society, on the occasion
of distributing premiums to the pupils in the School
of Arts. The Lord-Lieutenant attended and distri-
buted the premiums, addressing on the occasion
some important observations to the distinguished
assembly of artists and scientific men present. This
was the last occasion on which the old school of the
Royal Dublin Society was to appear as a distinct
body, its functions having been transferred to the
School of Design, established under the auspices of
the present Irish government, in connexion with the
Dublin Society. His Excellency, in the coarse of his
observations, paid some marked compliments to Irish
genius, and dwelt at some length on the valuable re-
sults to be anticipated from the new Schools of Design
in this conutry.

THE INTERVENTION Olt RUSSIA IN THE

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

TO Tll EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS.

Bta,—The Russian manifesto, dated the 19-31
July, 1848, which preceded by abaut two months the
occupation of Wallachia, fcrmally enunciates these
two principles.
1. That the occupation was to be temporary, and
would cease upon the simple request of the Polite so
soon as order should have been re-established in the
principalities. (" From the moment that legal order
shall have been re-established, or that the Porte shall
have acquired a sufficient guarani° • of the interior re-
, pose of the two provinces, our troops shall be with-
drawn from them."—Circular of Ct. Nessolrode, dated
19-31 of July.)
2. That the organic laws of the provinces required re-
' Aim and that modifications of them might be found
areessexT. (" It is possible that the administrative
regime of the principalities may be susceptible of im-
provement, and that it is even necessary to modify it
in more than one point."—lbid.)
How has Russia fulfilled these engagements? What
reforms, what improvements, has Russia introduced
into the internal regime of the principalities?
On the 30th of Sept., 1818, General Luders, who
for acme weeks previously had occupied Moldavia.
passed the frontier of Wallachia at the head of the
Russian advance-guard. Four months had elapsed
when the month of February came round. At that
period there remained not the slightest trace of the
revolution which had motived in the eyes of Europe
the entry of Russian troops into the Wellachian terri-
varies. Legal order, such as Russia nuderstands,'
was then, and is now, entirely re-established
that is to say, all those who took say
part in the recent events have been imp
Boned or exiled, while the whole country, scourged '
with war contributions and compelled to feed and
house 50,000 Cossacks, has been entirely ruined
(Turkey maintaiLed its army at its own ex-
pense). There has not been even a question of
reform. It is true &commission has been named, but
it is for judging militarily all those individuals who
are suspected or hostility to Russia.

MURK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter, dated Hamburg, Oct. 2. stake that the
last expresithad brought intelligence that the cannon-
ade was recommenced by the Schlesirig•Holatein ar-
tillery before Friedrichatadt at 3 o'clock on the
morning of the let, and was continued with vigour
until 10. At that hour a Bag of trues was sent out
of the besieged city to Col. Von der Tann, with an
offer to evacuate the city and retire northward. The
colonel offered to allow them to depart, but not till
after surrender of their arms and artillery. Another
account states that he would allow their departure
only as prisoners to Rendaburg. Be this as it may,
the tiring recommenced at one p.m., and the Danish
suns tea bly replied to the cannon of the besiegers,
it is conjectured, on account of failure of ammunition.
Oa the evening of the 30th, the party of Holateioers
which had taken Tooting and Oading on the pre-
vious dayiwithdrew, and recrossed the Eider, brit ging
with them a considerable number of muskets and

some ammunition, which had been found there. The
object of this temporary expedition appears to hays
been to command the north-west of k'riedriobstadt,
and prevent the repair of the enemy's works on that
side. On the withdrawal of the Holsteiners, a num-
ber of Danes from Hamm re-occupied the two villages.
The surrounding of Friedricbstadt, spoken of two days
ago, thus appears to have been only a temporary
event. The Hoisteiners again crossed the Eider on
the Ist, and took both Tonning and Garding. A
strong reeesnoitring party was sent out on the let,l
which advanced as far as Jagel without finding the
enemy. We expect to hear by every post of an
attempt on the part of General Von Krogh, the Danish
commander, to raise the siege of Friedrichstadt.
Unless speedy help arrive, the garrison is inevitably
lost to the Danes; bat it appears impossible that
their general can permit 3,000 men to fall without an
attempt to save them. Ammunition and troops are
continually arriving on the scene of war from Rends-
berg. Its said that General Willisen has taken up
a strong position near Hallingetedt, in order to kW-
cep: all soccour which Von lirogh_may send or lead
from behind the Dannewerke. We have no accounts
from his head-quarters, but persons who arrived from
Rendabarg by the morning train state that, on the
afternoon of the let, a strong cannonade was heard as
if from the north of Friedrichatadh General Willisen
has with him all the disposable troops, and the gar-
rison of Rendsborg is therefore very small.

'pm them, while shipmate to Great Britain are sub.
jeot to a dity of 12,000 Ms per pipe, still cmitinnest
to the &earnest of British, shipping, the British mea
chant, and the fair trader. It is certainly an abuse
that rainless& stop to be put to.

it, by declaring that as governor he did not feel him-
self authorised in carrying out any such resolution.
Another meeting of the board of loan commission-
era had taken place, at which it is said his excel-
lency and the great body of the commislioners again
disagreed as to the expediency of carrying oat cer-

the want of many clauses in the act, guaranteeing
the commissioners from any injurious cuns,queoce3
