DENMARK,

The Ministry have successfully passed through
the Parliamentary crisis, the Opposition in the Diet
having concluded not to pass the address of non-con-
fidence, in consequence of the explanations made by
the Ministry with regard to the great dangers of a
change of Ministry under the present critical and
unsettled relations of the country. Both Chambers
have set aside the address and adopted, on the 16th
inst., by large majorities, the following resolution :
" Resolved, that though entertaining apprehensions
with regard to the carrying out of the principles of the
Royal manifesto of the 28th of January last, the Chem-
ber, acknowledging it to be inadvisable, under the ex-
isting circumstances, to adopt the proposed address,
decides to proceed with the discussion of the order of
the day."
The Diet having thus decided not to resist the
policy proclaimed in the Royal manifesto of the 28th
of January, all the obstacles which have hitherto
been in the way of the definitive settlement of the
Danish question, both with respect to the constitu-
tional organization of the country and the arrange-
ment of the succession, may be regarded as removed.
With respect to the succession, the choice of an
English Prince—one of Queen VICTORIA'S younger
sons—has lately been proposed by some of the Danish
papers. The choice of a successor to the Danish
Crown cannot, however, be regarded as any longer
open. The House of Hesse and the Emperor of
RusslA, whose eventual rights to the succession in
different parts of the present monarchy interfered
with the establishment of a common law of succes-
sion tor the whole country, have renounced all their
claims and pretensions expressly and solely in favour
of Prince CHRISTIAN of Holstein-Glucksburg as suc-
cessor to the sovereignty over the whole monarchy;
and this choice has met the approval of all the great
Powers. The choice of Prince CHRISTIAN is emi-
nently a " Danish " choice, and perhaps the only one
that could be made as satisfactory both to Denmark and
to all the great Powers. The choice of any Prince be-
longing to one of the reigning families among the
great Powers would be certain to meet with the op-
position of the rest of those Powers.
The prorogation of the Danish Diet is expected to
take place on the 20th inst. The Diet will meet
again in October.

EGYPT.
Intelligence has been received from Alexandria to
the 7th instant.
Nothing has been decided relative to the Turco-
Egyptian question. It appears certain that the last
letter of ABBAS PACHA has irritated the SULTAN,
and that ABDUL-MEDEID sent it back to the Grand
Visir with an annotation in the margin, to the effect
that "he could not, he ought not, and he would not
consent to give up the point relative to the Tanzimat."
It is, in consequence, supposed that the next letter to
the VICEROY will be of a menacing character, and
will order him absolutely to obey the decision of the
Porte. The representations of Sir S. CANNING are
not looked on as serious. The other legations abstain
altogether. The VICEROY has just returned to Cairo,
from his excursion to Upper Egypt, and it was not
yet known what effect the last news from Constanti-
nople had on him.
On the 29th February four Pachas had arrived at
Alexandria from Constantinople, in the Mectidie
steamer. It was said that they were proceeding- to
Mecca, and that they were charged to land a letter
to the VICEROY on their way. They at once set out
for Cairo.
The works on the section of the railway between
Alexandria and Damauhour had been at t last com-
menced, although but little has been
however, shows that the done. This,
enterprise has not been
abandoned.
The Duke DE LEUCHTENBURck. was expected at
Alexandria on the 7th March, and was immediately
to embark in the French steamer, the Osiris for
Marseilles.

The American Minister had an interview with Lord
Colchester yesterday at the Board of Trade.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A TRINITY-HOUSE
PlLOT.—Yesterday morning a commission of lunacy was
opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Green Man
Hotel, Bethnal-green, to inquire into the state of mind of
Thomas Charles Voy, a Trinity House pilot, late of Com-
mercial-road, and now an inmate of Dr. Phillips's Lunatic
Asylum, Bethnal-green. Mr. Voy, on entering the room,
said, in answer to " Good morning," by the Commissioner,
" Don't be too fast ; I'll see." The Commissioner—Aye,
slow and sure. Mr. Voy—No; I was born before I was
sure. The unfortunate man. who appeared to be in robust
health, of the middle age, walked round the room, repeating,
" I was born before I was sure. I am God Almighty."
And, recognising his father in the corner of the room, be
approached him, and seizing him by the hand, exclaimed
violently, " This is God Almighty, the father of his son, who
I am ;" and then, going round the apartmeat, he said to the
Commissioner, " You are the man of Ephraim, and you
(turning to a juror) are Samson; I have fought for him—l
am a patient God," &c. Dr. Phillips and Dr. Courtney
said they had no doubt of Mr. Voy's insanity. Mrs. Voy
was then called, and stated that they had lived upon the

MURDER OF A CHILD HT ITS FATHER. —An inquest
the body of a child four years
was held on Wednesday upon
old, named Catherine Sviiney. The inquest was held in the
South Main-street. It appeared from the evidence that the
deceased was the child of a man named Edward Swiney, who
lived in Simmon's-lane, and, having been out of employment,
had been for some time supported by the charity of the So-
ciety of St. Vincent de Paul. On Tuesday, while Swiney's
wife was out of the house, it appeared that he strangled the
a skein of black thread tightly round here
child by tying
The child was found lying dead in the cradle with

near Patrick's-bridge. He was then given into the custody
of Constable Geale, to whom, although cautioned against
saying anything, he stated that it was he who strangled the
child. This statement he repeated when taken to the Tac.key-
street guard house. The motive of the deed cannot be con-
'ectured. A verdit of wilful murder was returned by the
4
jury. The prisoner, who appeared quite indifferent during the
course of the proceedings, was then removed to the city gaol.
