FEBRUARY 3, 1852.

on the same day rejected by 95 votes to 45 the order
of the day proposed by the Left for the revision of the
Constitution. It also rejected by 77 votes to 57
the motion for declaring that public functionaries
should not be allowed to sit in the Chambers
without the authorisation of the Chambers.
The motion for fixing the duration of
each legislature at six years, having them
convoked only every two years, and having the
Budget voted for two years at a time, was likewise
rejected. Another motion, which had been presented
for suppressing the indemnity of Members of the
Second Chamber, was withdrawn by its author, the
Minister of the Interior having declared it in-
opportune.
A letter from Berlin states that the expectations
which for some time past have been entertained of a
Ministerial crisis, are at an end. Still it is considered
probable that M. DE WESTPHALEN, Minister of the
Interior, may shortly have to retire, on account of ill-
health.
The Hanoverian Chambers were prorogued on the
29th ult. to a period not fixed. The reason assigned
was the necessity of preparing measures to be sub-
mitted to it.
The Indepenflance of Brussels says that it has
learned from Vienna, under date of the 29th ult.,
that orders have been sent to withdraw the Austrain
corps of observation from Holstein, but that a regi-
ment continues to occupy Hamburgh.
The Cologne Gazette asserts that the prohibition
to export arms and ammunition from Austria has
been removed.

The Customs Congress at Vienna, which is con•
firming its deliberations, has adopted with some
slight modifications the propositions made by Austria.
It has now to examine reports on several minor mat-
ters made by some of its members.
The Bank of Vienna has just published its ac-
counts for the year 1851. It was by means
of the great efforts made by this Bunk that the
Austrain Government was able to support in
1848 and 1849 the wars of Italy and Hungary. The
specie had in a great measure disappeared, and the
notes were rendered obligatory. This forced cur-
rency still exists, and the notes lose from 15 to 20 per
cent. against specie. The following are the principal
items of the returns just made as compared with those
of 1850. _ _

It will be seen that the specie has increased 10 mil-
lions, that the circulation of notes has diminished
39 millions, the Sate debentures 23 millions, and
the advances to the State have diminished 30 millions.
These results, obtained in a single year, are consi-
dered satisfactory. The Bank of Vienna, which had
branch establishments at Buda and Prague, has just
formed similar establishments at Gorz and Agram.

DENMARK.
The following statement relative to the crisis in
Copenhagen is inserted in the Hamburgh papers :
" The re-organization of the Danish Monarchy is de-
termined as follows:—There is to be a Ministry common
to the kingdom and to the duchies of which the King is
President; two princes of the blood are to take part in
it—viz., the Hereditary Prince Ferdinand and Prince
Christian of Glucksberg. The Ministry will be com-
posed as follows:—Von Bluhme, Foreign Affairs; Count
Sponneck, Commerce and Finance; General Hansen,
War; Rear-Admiral Zsrthmann, Navy; and Schole,
Religious Affairs. Messrs. Bary and Claussen are
to be Special Ministers for the Home Department
and Justice for Denmark; Count Cbas. Moltke, Special
Minister for Schleswig, and Count Reventlow Criminal,
for Holstein. It is reported that Rear-Admiral Zarth-
mann has refused the portfolio offered to him, and that
it will probably be filled by Mr. Steen Bille. The chief
point is the nomination of Count Charles Moltke, as
Minister of Schleswig. It is said that personally the
King had much difficulty in consenting to the urgent
representations of the Getman powers, especially on the
subject of the appointment of Count Charles Moltke,
which invtives the dismissal of Generals Von Barden-
/tell and Von Villisch. Count M.ensduiff Pouilly will
resign his post of commissioner in the duchies,
having been appointed Austrian Ambassador at the
Court of St. Prtersburgh. The report, which has gone
the round of the papers, that an Austrirn brigade will
be stationed at Hamburgh on the evacuation of the
duchies, is unfounded, as such a measure would be
contrary to the existing treaties, and would be an in-
fringement upon the right enjoyed by Hamburgh in
virtue of its being a free city, and the less likely to
take place in consequence of its amicable relations with
Austria.

The Borsenhalle states that the new British
Minister fur Forf•ign Affairs has notified privately
to the Danish Cab►net the great importance of the
immediate settlement of the Danish and Schleswig-
Holstein question, because England, in conse-
quence of the attitude assumed by the PRESIDENT of
the French Republic, no longer stands in the same
position as heretofore in regard to the Continental
powers.

Margaret Tennant, aged 38, who was convicted last
session of haviug cut and wounded an old man who had
seduced her, was this morning brought up before the
Recorder and sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
The Learned Gentleman in passing sentence
that since the last session he had had an opportunity remarked
inquiring into the prisoner's character and past mode of
lite, and be bad reason to suppose that she had received
great provocation from the man upon whom she com-
mitted the injury. At first it
of transportation
thought necessary to
inflict the severe punishment o
but it appeared she was not e trantsp ion upon
ioorttattoall
senseuh of
e
shame, and he should simply pas a nominal sentence
upon her, iu the hope that aomethit g could be done to
restore her once more to society.—The prisoner was in
tears while the sentence was being passed.

PIEW COURT.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning
trying Mint eases, now:, of which were of cufficient public
interest to justity a report.

IMPORTATION OF ORAN GEB.—Applicatioo having
been made to the revenue authorities by an eminent import-
ing firm, comp alining of the mode in which the duty had
been assessed by the officers on a cargo of oranges, and re-
questing that in order to give satisfaction to the trade and
prevent the disputes between them and the officers, they
should be allowed the benefit of the under-measurements
being placed against the over-measurements, it had been ar-
ranged that, in all future cases in which the packages are of
the same import mark and description, an average of this
nature be ascertained, provided the excessive difference in
either of the dimensions does not exceed one inch, but that
on such as are more than one inch, the high rate of duty is
to be charged, and the proper officers have received directions
to report; the effect of this regulation at the expiration of
three months, or sooner if necessary.
A Swedish merchant London, Herr Kleman,
has proposed to the Swedish Government to open a weekly
communication between Lowestoft and Gottenburg, touching
at some ~Norwegiau harbour. The vessels are to be large
steamers. It is supposed that this of will be accepted, in
which case this route will be kept open about ten months out
of the twelve,
