Germany and Denmark,

A letter from Berlin, dated the 31st ult., gives
some details respecting the Treaty of Peace re•
cently signed between the German Powers and
Denmark. It says—
I am enabled to send you some details respecting the
document signed yesterday at Vienna between the Pleni-
potentiaries of Denmark on the one hand and those of Prus..
sia and Austria on the other. The Treaty of Peace consists
of 24 articles and some annexes.

The first article simply reproduces the corresponding
article of the peace preliminaries. The King of Denmark
cedes all his rights over Schleswig-Holstein and Lauen-
burg in favour of :he King of Prussia and the Emperor of
Austria.

As an equivalent of the Jutland territory of Mogelhon.
darn, the island of Amrom, and the Jutland portions of the
islands of Foehr, Sylt, and Roemse, and which Den.
mark has ceded to the Duchies, a portion of Northam
Schleswig has been left to Denmark. The peninsula of
Stenderup, which is situate opposite Fionia, is comprised in
the Danish Schleswig.
In granting this compensation for the Jutland enclaves—
a compensation which was eagerly desired by Denmark on
account of the strategical position of the ceded territory—
the German Powers have wished to prove that the separa-
tion of Schleswig from the Danish territory was not a first
step towards the dismemberment of Denmark. On the other
hand, the Treaty of Peace does not contain any stipulation
of a nature to guarantee the language of the Danish popu-
latioa inhabiting German Schleswig.
The sixth article stipulates the nomination of a mixed
commission, consisting of the Prussian, Austrian, and
Danish Plenipotentiaries, charged to proceed to the loca-
lities, so as to settlo the details of the new line of demar-
cation.

The seventh and following articles concorn the settlement
of the financial affairs. The quota of the Danish debt which
falls upon the Duchies amounts to 29 millions of rix-thalers
(62 millions and a half of francs). The mode of payment of
this sum by the Duchies to Denmark is settled in detail in
the Treaty of Peace.

Denmark is obliged to give up German trading veseels
and their cargoes, in so far as they have not yet been sold by
Denmark. In the latter case Denmark has to compensate
the owners.

There is no longer a Danish question, but there remains
the question of the Duchies.

In our Government circles the renunciation of the rights
of the King of Denmark over the Duchies, in the sense of
a cession of those Duchies to the two great German Powers.
is interpreted to mean that the claimants of succession
to the Dnohies must bring forward their claims before
Austria and Prussia. It has now to be ascertained whether
the Vienna Cabinet shares the views of our Cabinet, which
is in flagrant opposition upon this sulject with the secondary
German States,

Prince Gortechakoff has been here since Thursday. He
dined yesterday at the palace. The Prince has already had
several interviews with M. de Bismark, to which, doubtless,
too much importance is attributed.

The reconstitution of the ZAlverein will be followed by
important negotiations between the Lillverein on the one
hand, and Russia, Swifzerland, and Denmark on the other.

M. Delbruck one of the councillors of the Board of Trade,
who negotiated the Treaty of Commerce between Prussia
and France, will shortly leave for Paris, so es to come to
an understanding with the French Government respecting
the modifications to be made in the Treaty of the 2d of
August, 1862, which Prussia has promised to ask for in the
new Zollvercin Treaties.

Letters from Holland report the stoppage of the following
houses :—Messrs J. M. Porno and Son, diamond merchants,
with liabilities of about £200,000 ; Messrs Wythoff and Son,
sugar refiners ; Mr J. G. Franke, merchant ; and Messrs
Tholen and Co„ merchants, all of Amsterdam ; Messrs De
Bruyn Bros., of Rotterdam, merchants; and ➢Messrs Van
Criffalin and Co., of Rhenen, also general merchants,
During the last few days there has been rather more
animation in the markets for foreign and colonial produce.
Sugars have been in great demand, at an advance of 6d to
is per cwt. Ccffeo also has been largely dealt in at full
rates, but the public sales of tea have krooeeded slowly at
about previous values. The high rates demanded by holders
of rice has checked business in that artiee, while fruit and
spices have been in moderate request at about previous quo.
tations. Tallow has been in very limited favour, and prices
for both present and forward delivery have shown less
firmness.

THE ENGLISH BAR AND M. BERRYER.—At
meeting of the benehers of the Middle Temple, held on
Wednesday evening in their Parliament Chamber, it was
resolved to place the magnificent hall of the society at the
disposal of the committee for conducting the entertainment
about to be offered to M. 13.3rryer by the bar of England,
which will take place on Tuesday evening next. It is un-
derstood that the Attorney-General will occupy the chair
on the occasion.

THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTIIAMPTON, Nov.
4.—The North German Lloyd steamship Hansa, Captain
Van Sauton, from New York on the 22d, has arrived here.
She brings 102 passengers for Bremen, 38 for Southampton
and Havre, 500 dollars for Bremen, and 5,000 dollars for
France. The Hansa left New York on the 22d, and on the
27th she spoke the American ship Progress, and on the 30th
the English bark Walton, of Liverpool. No tidings have
as yet been received of the overdue steamer Saxonia. It is
supposed that she has broken down, and, coming home
under canvas, has been delayed by the long-prevailing
easterly winds.

DEATH FROM PASSlON.—Yesterday afternoon a
man named Howard, living in Cable-street, Liverpool, was
discharged by his employer. Ile at once went into a furious
passion and assaulted his master. In consequence of this
he was given into custody, but while being taken to the
police-station he fell down dead in the street.
A MAORI MAIDEN AND HER ADMIRERS.—A word
or two before we close about Arriana, the object of
his adoration. She is a remarkably pretty half caste, the
offspring of an Englishman and a Maori woman, Her
mother died some years ago ; and her father, one of those
restless, unsettled beings so often to he met with in the
colonies, left her to the care of her Maori relations, and
started for Australia : nothing has been heard of him since.
When the war broke out she was living with a settler near
Awamuta ; the f imily was obliged to leave, and she was car-
ried off by the rebels. She says that this was done against
her will, and that while the fighting was going on at the pa she
was tied to another woman to prevent her from attempting
to escape. We suspect, however, that she was tied only by
the gentle cords of love, and that a Maori warrior had some
thing to do with her presence there. When the pah was
evacuated she was hit by a bullet, which shattered her arm :
it would have gone hard with her in the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter which ensued had not some brave fellow stood over her
and defended her life. No less than ten men came forward to
claim the honour due to his gallant deed ; but this was after
the report of her beauty had spread over the camp, and
such claimant doubtless imagined that ho could establish a
lien over her heart. Nay, some weeks after the fight, an
enthusiastic militiaman travelled all the way from Raglan
a distance of thirty miles, and demanded an interview with
the brigadier—he stated that he was the preserver c,f
Arriana's life—he could neither eat, nor drink, nor
sleep, for thinking of her—so he had made up his mind to
make her his wife. He had £5O in the saving's bank, which
sum he wished to devote to her education, so as to pre-
pare her for the duties of the married life. All that he de-
sired at present was an interview with the object of his
affections—Arriana would at once recognise him and rush
to his arms. There was only one slight difficulty— he
spoke no Maori, and she knew no English—but love has
a language of its own—he had no doubt that they would
understand one another. The brigadier, amused at the fel-
low's earnestness, granted the desired interview, and allowed
the interpreter to be present to assist if the silent language
of love should prove insufficient. The lover entered the
room with a bashful, sheepish air, and stared at Ariana, who
stared at him in return; but there was no recognition on
her part, no outburst of gushing gratitude, no rushing to
his arms. On the contrary; she turned to the interpreter,
and coolly asked what the man wanted ; on learning which
she laughed heartily, and told him to go away, as she had
never seen him before, and would have nothing to say to him.
The :poor man begged, beseeched, implored, and looked
unutterable things; Arriana only tittered and turned away
her head, Ever since that time he has continued to urge
his suit in letters, written by a half-caste amanuensis, but
the Maori maiden is still obdurate. The poor militiaman is
not the only man who has felt the power of her beauty, or
claimed to be her preserver—so importunate were some of
her admirers, that a guard had to be stationed at the hut
for her protection. She has now almost recovered from her
wound, and an asylum will be provided for her in an
orphan institution. We have still some hopes of the militia-
man ; perseverance often leads to success in love as in
everything else.—Fraser'a Magazine for November.
A CHILD CARRIED OFF BY A CUTTLEFISIL—A
letter from Cuba contains an account of the carrying off of
a boy eight years old by a cuttlefish. Several children
coming upon the fish on the beach attacked it with sticks
and stones. So soon, however, as it had got to the water's
edge, it threw one of its long arms upon the arm of the boy
nearest to it, and to his and his playfellows' horror began
to drag him into the sca. The poor child struggled to get
loose and screamed agonisingly, and some of the larger
boys rushed to his aid, but too late—he body .vas almost
instantly dragged out of sight.
