SAXONY AND SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The Paris papers publish the latest despatches
exchanged between Mr. Murray, the English
Minister in Dresden, and Baron von Beast, the
Saxon President of the Council, upon the Schleswig-
Holstein question
MR. MURRAY TO BARON VON BEUST.
Dresden, Jan. 5, 1864.

I have the honour to inform your Excellency that I
have just received a despatch from Earl Russell, in which
he communicates to me the views of her Britannic
Majesty's Government on the position of affairs in
the duchy of Holstein. Her Majesty's Government be-
lieves that the most serious consequences might arise if
the Federal troops should invade Schleswig before the
Powers who signed the Treaty of London have been able
to express their opinion on this matter. In the opinion of
the English Government not only the resolution of the
Federal Diet, but also justice, has been violated by the con-
duct of the Gorman troops in Holstein.
" Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg must be made
mutually responsible. Although I did not receive instruc-
tions to communicate the contents of this despatch to your
Excellency, I nevertheless consider myself bound to do so,
for if the Saxon Government feels inclined to take into
account the advice of the Government of her Britannic
Majesty in an affair which is of the highest importance for
all Europe, there is no time to lose, as the progress of affairs
in the Duchies is of such a nature that all the steps taken
by the English Government to preserve peace between the
German Confederation and Denmark might possibly be
frustrated by the events of a single day.
" Receive, &c., " CH. A. MURRAY."

BARON VON BEUST'S REPLY.
" I have just received the note with which you have this
day favoured me, and hasten to reply to the same. You
acquaint me therein with tho material contents of a despatch
of Earl Russell, while adding that you have not received
instructions to communicate it to me. 1 regret that you
should, nevertheless, have thought fit to bring it to my
knowledge, for you will recognise the necessity in which I
find myself to point out those passages the offensive lan-
guage of which is only equalled by the levity (legerete) of
the assertions, which even do not hesitate to assail the
honour of our flag.
"You observe that, in the opinion of the English Go-
vernment, the conduct of the German troops has not only
violated the resolution of the Federal Diet, but also justice,
and that Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg must be made
mutually responsible.' This is the first time that I have
heard the conduct of our troops in Holstein characterised
in this manner. I might be tempted to require of you to
bring forward facts in support of so daring an assertion. If
I abstain from so doing it is because the conduct of the
Federal troops in a country belonging to the Confederation,
in whioh they are placed in consequence of a resolution of
the Federal Diet, is a subject which in no degree whatever
concerns a foreign Government. To desire to make the
Governments of Baden and of Wurtemberg responsible,
who have not even sent forces thither, is one proof more
of ignorance of the affairs taking place in Germany. You
acquaint me, finally, that if the troops of the Federa-
tion should invade Schleswig before the Powers who have
signed the Treaty of London should have been able to ex-
press their opinion upon this matter, the most serious con-
sequences might result therefrom.
"You are aware that the Federal Diet is upon the point
of coming to a decision upon the propositions which have
been laid before it in respect to the duchy of Schleswig.
" The warning which the Government of her Majesty of
Great Britain wishes to extend to us is well calculated to
attract the attention of the King. His Majesty will not
abstain from its most serious examination. You will per-
mit me however, to point out to you that no more efficacious
means than the threat of force can be employed to cause a
Government zealous for its honour and dignity to brave with
calmness the consequences of a decision dictated by a feel
ing of duty.—Receive, eco.,

" VON BEIIST."

WRECK ON THE GOODWIN SANDS,

RAMSGATE, Saturday.

This afternoon the crew of the schooner Cluny (Beane,
master) were landed here, the vessel having been wrecked
on the Goodwin Sands. The Cluny was off and from
Hartlepool, bound to Dieppe, with a cargo of over 300 tons
of coals. She sailed on the 30th December, at six a,m., a
fresh breeze blowing from the north and the water high
Nothing particular occurred till this morning, when, at
half-past six, the vessel struck on the Goodwin Sands,
sprang a leak, and made water fast. Signals were made
for assistance, and at about half-past seven the lugger
Morning Star, of Ramsgate, went alongside, when the
captain engaged to bring out the anchor, get the vessel
off the sands, and take her into the nearest port, the
amount agreed upon for services, if this were accom-
plished, being £240. In consequence of the heavy sea on,
and the wind increasing, this was rendered impossible.
Both pumps were kept at work until one o'clock, but still
the vessel gradually filled, and at that time the water was
up to the cabin deck. All hope of saving her was now
despaired of, and the captain and crew resolved to abandon
her.
The signals of distress were observed here, and soon after
the life boat was being towed out by the steam tug Aid,
which arrived at the schooner shortly after ten, and laid by

to render assistance if it was required.
Upon resolving to abandon the vessel, five of the crew
entered the lifeboat, and the captain and mate the lugger,
in which they were safely landed hero at four o'clock. On
landing the men were received by Mr. Whitmore, the hon.
agent of the Shipwrecked Mariner's Association, who pro-
vided them with refreshments, and afterwards forwarded
them to London by train.
The crew succeeded in saving some of their things.

THE FORM OF PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING FOR
THE PRINCESS OF WALES'S SAFE DELIVERY OF A
PRINCE, used at morning and evening service, after the
General Thanksgiving, in all churches and chapels in Eng-
land and Wales, and in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed,
yesterday, the 17th day of January:—" Almighty and most
merciful God, by whose gracious gift mankind is increased,
we humbly thank Thee for that Thou hast vouchsafed to
deliver Thy servant the Princess of Wales from the perils
of childbirth, that Thou haat made her a joyful mother, and
granted her the blessings of a son. May Thy watchful eye
and fatherly hand still be over her ; support and comfort
her iw the hours of weakness, and day by day renew her
strength, that so she may arise and go forth to praise Thee
in Thy church, and serve Thee in all good works to the
glory of Thy holy name. Defend the infant Prince from
every danger that may happen to the body. and from all
evil that may assault and hurt the soul. Enrich him with
all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus, and as years advance
may he increase in grace, in wisdom, and all Christian
virtues. Look down, we pray Thee, with the favour that
Thou bearest unto Thy people upon the Royal parents :
fill them!with all heavenly benediction, that they may faith-
fully live and walk according to Thy will in this life pre-
sent, and may be partakers of Thine everlasting glory in
the life to come. Implant in the hearts of Thy people a
deep sense of this, and of Thy manifold mercies to us as a
church and nation, and give us grace to show forth our
thankfulness by dutiful affection to our Sovereign, by
brotherly love one towards another, and by constant obedi-
ence to Thy commandments : so that, passing through this
life in Thy faith and fear, we may attain to Thy heavenly
kingdom, through the merits and mediation of Thy blessed
Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
The Imperial Court of 'Toulouse has just decided
the case of Father Lacordaire's will. The deceased,
who was a Dominican friar, and Director of the School of
Soreze, had, in his last testament drawn up immediately
before his death, instituted Father Mourey, of the same
order, his universal legatee. A brother of the deceased at-
tacked the will as illegal, first because brother Mourey hav-
ing been Father Lacordaire's confessor could not inherit,
and next because the property was in reality intended for
the religious order of which both were members, which was
contrary to law. The Tribunal of Castres annulled the will
on the first ground, and Father Mourey appealed against
the decision. The case was then taken before the Imperial
Court of Toulouse, which has confirmed the judgment of
the first judges.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn
Crompton, and Mellor.)
IN THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY.

Mr. M. Chambers had obtained a rule calling upon an
attorney of this court to show cause why he should not be
struck off the rolls for malpractices, and the rule having
been set down in the preemptory paper for argument, it
was called on this morning.
Mr. Griffiths, on the part of the attorney, applied for
postponement, as his client had been compelled to go to
Brussels, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., felt he could not safely
argue the case without the presence and assistance of the
said attorney. Mr. M. Chambers had been informed of the
application, and did not object.
The Lord Chief Justice said the case had been placed in
the peremptory papers and ought not to be postponed with •
out good cause.
Mr. Chambers said it struck him from the nature of the
case and the allegations made in the affidavits that it must
go before the Master, as it would be necessary in order to
prove the allegations, to produce the Subpcena Book and
Precipes of the Court of Exchequer.
Mr. Griffiths objected to that, as he was of opinion that
the matter could be argued before the court on ‘.he affi.
davits. The books could be produced by the officer.
The Lord Chief Justice said it was a most extraordinary
case. Application was made to strike an attorney off the
rolls. The case is put down in the peremptory paper, ard
the attorney chooses to go away on other professional busi-
ness, leaving the rule to take its chance. If the case was
postponed a day must be fixed, as it could not be allowed to
stand over.
After some discussion, the Court ordered the case to be
postponed till Monday next peremptorily.
IN THE MATTER 03 BRYANT AND 700 TE.
Mr. Prideaux appeared to show cause against a rule ob-
tained by Mr. Keene to remit back a special case to the
arbitrator on the ground that he had not sufficiently set
the matter forward to prove the usage. The action was
brought by a parishioner of Horton, Bucks, against the
rector, Mr. Foote, for the refusal to marry him, and the
question arose whether there was a custom that the rector
should receive 10s. and the clerk 3s. for every marriage, it
having been stated in some instances 13s. 6d. had been paid,
The difference of the sum received, it was contended,
invalidated the custom. The cause was tried, the jury
could not agree, and ultimately the matter was referred to
arbitration, and with the decision of the arbitrator fault was
found.
After some discussion the Court said the rule had better
be made absolute, to remit the case back to the arbitrator.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
SIX SPECIAL JURIXEN FINED £lO-IMPORTANT NOTICE.
Considerable dissatisfaction has been recently expressed
in consequence of the easy manner in which special jury-
men who have been fined at this court have obtained a
remission of the fine upon making subsequently general or
particular excuses. Those gentlemen who do serve com-
plain of this, and to-day when a special jury was called only
eight answered.
His Lordship ordered the others to be called seriatum,
and he fined each absentee £lO, notifying that the amount
would not be remitted, and the case was tried with only
eight special jurymen.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
BOOKING OFFICES AND RAILWAY COMPANIES--WOODROW

V. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover for damage to a parcel.
Mr. Ashley, of Charles-square, Hoxton, objected to the
jurisdiction of this court, as the chief office of the Great
Eastern Railway Company was in Shoreditch.
Plaintiff stated that the parcel was delivered to a booking
office in Fleet-street, and he called the keeper of the office,
who produced a board headed " Great Eastern Railway
Company."
It was farther stated that the company's carts called at
the office and collected all parcels, whereupon his Honour
said that as the company did business in the City he must
hold this court to have jurisdiction.
Mr. Ashley—lf that is your Honour's decision I must
submit, but I shall call upon the plaintiff to prove the
damage.
Plaintiff could do this, and the case was adjourned for
evidence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE PROSTITUTE NUISANCE IN HYDE PABX.—Several
wretched looking women, who nightly frequent Hyde Park
for the purposes of prostitution, and whose oonduct is much
complained of by persons having to cross the park on an
evening, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt withdisorderly
conduct in the park.
Lloyd and Dauncey, two constables of the A division,
proved seeing the women molest and annoy gentlemen
crossing the park on Saturday and yesterday evening, and
they then took them into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the officers said they had
known some of the women as frequenters of the park for
two or three years.
One of the women said that what the constable had stated
was too true, and that she did go into the park to get a
living, but if she could get work she would net.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed some of the prisoners:for 14 days
and others for seven says.
One of the women seemed very happy at the result, as
she left the court singing.
