PRESIDENT AND REPLY OF THE KING. -
CC )PENEAGEN, Jan. 15.
Yesterday the King gave a banquet to the Rigs..
rad. The President of the Lower House, in pro-
posing a toast to the King, said—" The Danes have
determined upon remaining a free end independent
people. The army will willingly undertake the
hardships of a campaign, because they know they
would be fighting for the rights of their King
and their fellow-countrymen. The people confide
in the King, became convinced that he will respect
the laws of the land. They also share the joy of
the Royal family on the accouchement of Princess
Alexandra."

The King replied as follows :—" The Danish
Rigsraad will, as in former times, protect the rights
of the people. I solemnly promise ever to uphold
the liberty and independence of Denmark, and to
protect the rights of the Crown."

His Majesty's speech was received with great
applause,

of curing a cough or cold ; they are good alike for the young

proving the voice, the preacher, statesman, singer, and actor
have long patronised them.

" Sir,—lhave much p Leasure in recommending y our lozenges
to those who may be distressed with hoarseness. They have
afforded me relief on several occasions when scarcely able to
sing from the effects of catarrh. I think they would be very
useful to clergymen, barristers, and public orators.

As MAD AS A HATTER.—Although an inquiry
respecting this simile appeared in Notes and Queries
as far back as June, 1560, it hits not hitherto elicited a
reply. The phrase has now again come up in that amusing
volume, Captain Gronow's "Recollections and Anecdotes:"

—" On the subject of politics, my dear Alvanley, he is-as
mad as a hatter." One is at a loss to understand why a
hatter should be made the type of insanity rather than a
tailor or a shoemaker•—but may not the phrase in question
be thus explained ? The French compare an incapable or
weak-minded person to an oyster—" lie reasons like an
oyster" (huitre). I would suggest, therefore, that through
similarity of sound, the French huitre may, in the case
before us, have given occasion to the English " hatter."
From " it raisoune comma une hultre" may have come
Out " As mad•as a hatter,,,.

are a purely vmetable preparation, and may be taken
A any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their floe tonic,

blish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the BEET FAMILY

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER:

THE FRAUDULENT AND DECEPTIVE USE Or EMINENT
NAMES KNOWN IN TRADE.-Mr. Lewis, senior (of Ely-
place), came into the court to request process to be issued
under the following circumstances :
Mr. Lewis said that this was the first application under
an act of Parliament of last session, and which did not
come into operation until the Ist inst. It was most im-
portant for the interests of manufacture and for the protec-
tion of the public against fraud. In this instance the com-
plaining parties were Messrs. Collard and Collard, the emi-
nent pianoforte makers, whose name had been fraudulently
and deceptively used. An advertisement had proclaimed
" that a very fine instrument of the Messrs. Collard,
manufactured expressly for a professional lady, at a large
cost, with all the last and greatest improvements, was to
be disposed of by a widow lady, who was driven by pecu-
niary distress to dispose of it for £25." This was a perfect
fraud, for although to the casual observer the instrument
would appear to be from Collard and Collard, it was not.
Their names were largely inscribed upon it, but above it
in an obscure place, unseen without the removal of some-
thing, was some sentences or names, with the addition of
" from," and then followed Messrs Collard and Collard.
Under the new Act of Parliament it was an offsnce to sell,
utter, or expose for sale, or for any purpose of trade or
manufacture, any chattels or articles, make any forged or
counterfeit trademark, or with the trademark of any other
person, applied, or used falsely, or wrongfully. and the
penalty was equal to the value of the article, and a sum not
exceeding £5. The Messrs. Collard had instructed him
to proceed in this matter, so prejudical to their reputation,
and gladly availed themselves of the statutes passed for the
protection of the bona fide manufacturers.

Mr. Selfe inquired whether Mr. Lewis bad proof that the
offence had been committed since the 31st of December,
1863 ?

Mr. Lewis replied that he had, and said ho should, with
a view of bringing the offender to punishment, proceed
under two different sections of the aot.
The summonses were granted.

better than cure; be, therefore, prepared during the wet and
wintry season with a supply of KEATING'S COUGH
LOZENGES, which possess the virtue of averting, as well as
of curing a cough or cold; they are good alike for the young
or for the aged—they soothe bronchial irritation ; and for im-
proving the voice, the preacher, statesman, singer, and actor
have long patronised them
" St. Paul's Cathedral, 30th November, 1R49.
" Sir,—l have much pleasure in recommending y our lozenges
to those who may be distressed with hoarseness. They have
afforded me relief on several occasions when scarcely able to
sing from the effects of catarrh. I think they would be very
useful to clergymen, barristers, and public orators.
"I am, Sir, yours faithfully,
