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 28:h of January last, the Cham-
ber, acknowledging it to be inadvisable, under the ex-
isting circumstances, to adopt the proposed address,
dec des 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 4ueen 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
RussrA, whose eventual rights to the succession in
different parts of the present monarchy interfered
with the establishment of a common law of succes-
sion for 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 bas met the approval of all the great
Powers. The choice of Prince CHRISTIAN 13 emi-
neatly 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-MEDJID 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 Medjdie
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
at l between
Alexandria and Damauhour had been
com-
menced, although but little has been donea.st This,
however, shows that the enterprise has not been
abandoned.
The Duke DE LEUCHTENBURG 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
CoWieder yeaterday at the Beard of Track.

CICIV.
THE NORTHAMPTON MEETING, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Siogular to relate, the present meeting at
Northampton seems very likely to pass away without
giving tho Ring the benefit of a few heavy showers of
rain, a circumstance that has not occurred, to my know-
ledge, fur the last seven or eight years. The course is
very hard, and very likely to give the tender-footed
ones a slight shaking. My accounts received up to
eleven o'clock this morning advise me that the following
will be the fields for to-morrow's races:—

Earl Spencer's Plate—The Prime Minister, Heart-
breaker, Thornhill, Forrester, Layburne, Serus, Colt by
Prince Caradoc, Lady Agnes (d), Timid Fawn, Free-
dom, Water Lily, Butterfly, filly by Ballinkeele out of
Dart, and gelding by Don John, darn by Priam.
Catalpa is as yet the only declared non-starter.
The Althorp Park Stakes—King David, Balloon,
Stone Plover (d), Nathan, colt by Assault, darn by
Lanercost, Postulant, Rumour, Sister to Iracundus,
Altitude, Glenavon, and perhaps one or two others of no
account whatever. Whalebone, Gossip, Molasses, and
Heliogabalus are on the missing list.
Northamptonshire Cup Stakes—Clothworker, Abdal-
lab, Milkboy (d), Brother to Willingham, Paddy Bird,
and Pancake. Chief Justice and Mark Tapley, I believe,
do not run.

Delapre Stakes—Black Doctor, Incurable, Trinket
(d), Edward of York, Paddy Bird (d), Hambletonian,
Loophole, and Tumbler...

Innkeeper.' Plate—Ballet Girl, Milkboy (d), Avia (d),
Foehabrs, and Passion colt.

My opinion on the Altborp Park Stakes I can render
more positive than before, by stating that there is little
doubt but that Nat on GLENAVON will catch tb© judges'
eye first, and that Altitude and the Assault colt will be
the nearest in attendance. . .

Not knowing whether CLOTIINVORKER is to be the
money horse for the Cup Stakes or not, in his absence I
must look to Pancake or Paddy Bird for tho winner;
and exi:ect to see Brother to Willingham close up.
The Innkeepers' Plate I consider a foregone ct.nicluzivu
in fivnur of PocrrenrAiS or BALLET GIRL; the former
for choice.

I am still of the opinion I expressed on Monday with
respect to Earl Spencer's Plato, preferring the PRIME
MINISTER, with all his weight, to the crack Dart filly or
Freedom; but as he has shown specimens of want of
heart on several occasions latterly, if ho should be des-
tined to be beaten, I fancy it will be by the Prince Ca-
radoc colt or Freedom, and that the foremost portion of
the rest will consist of Timid Fawn and the Dart filly.
The betting this morning is brisk, the principal busi-
ness being on to-day's events, which I need not record.
The prices on to-morrow's races rule as follow:—De-
lapre Stakes-2 to 1 agst Paddy Bird, 3 to 1 agst the
Black Doctor. Earl Spencer's Plate-3 to 1 agst Free-
dom, 5 to 1 agst Dart filly; 6 to 1 eget Layborne ; 6 to I
agst Prince Caradoc colt, 7 to 1 agst the Prime Minister,
7 to 1 agst Thornhill, 8 to 1 agst Heartbreaker, 8 to 1 agst
Timid Fawn, 10 to 1 agst Forester, 10 to 1 agst Butter-
fly, 50 to 1 agst Catalpa. Althorp Park Stakes-2 to 1
agst Glenavon, 3 to 1 and 5 to 2 taken freely; little or
nothing doing about any other; Humour and Assault
colt talked about, 10 to 1 would be taken about either;
10 to 1 offered agst the Fyfield couple. Cup Stakes-
-3 to 1 each apt Pancake and Brother to Willingham;
nothing else mentioned. Innkeepers' Plate-3 to 1
each agst Fochabero and Ballet Girl, taken freely; 5 to 1
any other.

Through the imperfect caligraphy of my "man of
business," a most ridiculous mistake occurred in yester-
day's note in reference to the Whittlebury Stakes, which
made out that Early Bird, who has been dead some time,
was a starter and backed at 10 to 1; it should have been
King David who is the starter in question, and who was
supported at 10 to 1 to a good bit of money.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, T UESDAY. —The Africa of the 10th
instant brings advises corroborating the Baltic's report
of a gain of c. to ic. per lb. to the sellers of cotton in
the New York and southern markets. But we have
also a statement that the latest telegraphic announce-
ment was that of a decline of ic. (from Bc. to 7ic. for
" Sliddling") had occurred on the Bth at New Orleans.
The receipts were heavy, viz. 130,867 bales in the
week against 78,148 in the corresponding week of
last year, and the total receipts 1,909,344 bales against
1,689,136 in 1851. Tho exports to Great Britain in the
last week were 70,734 bales against 46,167 in the same
week of 1851, the total exports 688,126 against 547,862;
sad the increase of the exports was likely to continue
for some weeks. Opinion was more decidedly in favour
of the larger estimates of the crop, say 2,800 000
bales at least. These acoounte, together with
a change in the direction of the wind which
must rapidly bring in large accumulations. of cotton
ez
balesl onin with n
the
es-
timated on the seas, and also taken r80,70n0 n
excess over last year of nearly
stock of Liverpool, have sensibly checked that
return of buoyancy which showed itself in our market
at the latter end of last week; again exhibiting our sen-
sitiveness to any alteration in the raw material, whether
proceeding from temporary or more permanent causes.
Buyers have become more chary and sellers leas indif-
ferent about business. The day's transactions have
therefore been comparatively small in yarns; and water
twist may be had at a decline of fully ed. per lb. in
most of its counts and forms. Mule yarns, being rela-
tively in hatter requo.t, arc not equally affected. The
quotations for goods are unchanged, as there continues
to be a pretty good, though somewhat diminished,
demand for various descriptions. However, the general
impression is, that no lasting decline in cotton will now
take place ; and that our own prices will only be tem-
porarily affected. We learn that at Blackburn the
weavers in some establishments have turned out on ac-
count of a dispute, not strictly in connexion with wages.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market has been
worse, if pos.ible, than it was last week. The needy
manufacturer has been obliged to force a sale by taking
lower prices, which has a tendency to make the wool
dealer more cautious in disposing of the raw material, as
he is generally the sufferer by such proceedings. Wool
has maintained its former price, but has been purchased
very sparingly.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is scarcely anything
doing in worsted goods, either in the piece hall or in the
warehouses; and it is difficult to effect sales, even at a
sacrifice. There is no change in yarn and wool, except
perhaps that the dulness is increasing.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--There has been rather
more business doing in the cloth hall and warehouses
to-day than last week; and judging from appearances,
confidence in the stability of the spring trade is gaining'
ground. Fancy trouserings and light descriptions of
vestinga have been called for to-day ; and a fair quantity
of broad superfine have met with sale. There has also
been rather more doing in the wool warehouses.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufacturers hays
been doing a little more business, but prices are unsa-
tisfactory. We are sorry to have to report another
failure of a silk manufacturer in this town, who stopped
payment yesterday. His liabilities are currently
stated to be 10,0001. The Macclesfield silk trade have
had established during the last three years a local board
of trade for the purpose of regulating the prices of
weaving, which consisted of twelve manufacturers and
twelve weavers; Mr. Samuel Higginbotham, solicitor,
as the chairman. On :Monday evening last it was
given up by the manufacturers, who have long treated
it with indifference. A meeting was called by cir-
culars to all manufacturers in the town, and
seven only attended; and it was unanimously agreed
not to meet the operatives. A strike is anticipated
in consequence. In the thrown silk market a moderate
business is doing, at prices which would not be at all
remunerative from present rates of raw material. Raw
Silk—The market is very firm, with an upward ten-
dency in China silk; the small quantity remaining in
the hand of importers is generally held for an advance on
current rates.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN RE HENRY BROOME.

The bankrupt was a victualler, of the Haymarket.
His accounts commerce March 31, 1847, with a capital
of 447/, and close October 18, 1851, with the following
figures :—Dr. : Unsecured ell ditors, 2,136/. ; creditors
holding securitirs, 1,178/, Cr, : Debtors estimated to
produce 50/. ; property iu tho hands of the secured cre-
ditors, 1,178/ ; debt owing by G. Farmer, 301. ; other
property, 51. 3s. Bd. The trade expenses are put down
at 2,394/. ; the personal expenses at 8771. ; the profits
at 2.9631,

Mr. LINKLATER, for the bankrupt, said the accounts
were satisfactory to the official assignees, although not
sueh:as could have been desired by the creditors.
The bankrupt passed his examination.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A TRINITY-HOUSE
PILOT.—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, ho
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 apartment, 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. Vov
was then called, and stated that they had lived upon the
most affectionate terms up to the 4th of A pril, 1846. when
her husband fell down the hold of a vessel in the London
Docks, and injured his spine. She was perfectly satisfied
with the treatment her husband received at Dr. Phillips's.

had been for some time supported by the charity of the

of Constable Geale, to whom, although cautioned against
„tying anything, he stated that it was he who strangled the
child. This statement he repeated when taken to the Tuckey-

jectured. A verdict of wilful murder was returned by the
jury. The prisoner, who appeared quite indifferent during the
course of the proceedings, was then removed to the city gaol.

EXECUTION OF A BANKEUPT.—At noun, on the
10th inst., just as the Exchange at Ilamburgh, crowded with
merchants, presented its business aspect, two drummers in
the civic uniform came up and roiled their drums for the
space of ten minutes,
causing a g!eat commotion both
within and out of the Bourse. While this was going on,
workmen were seen over the principal gateway of the build-
ing elevating a black board, on which was painted in white
letters the name of a merchant of the city who had lately
suspended payments and absconded with all his assets.
When the name had been fairly set up, a bell called the
