either include all parts of the same, or which constitute the
basis of individual parts, shall be proceeded with in the
spirit of maintaining and improving the legally existing re-
lations. As, therefore, the undermentioned maintenance of
our monarchy in its whole territorial extent will, with the
aid of the European great powers, be secured for the future,
in like manner the annexation between the different parts of
the monarchy shall be maintained and consolidated into a
well-regulated whole pro tems, by means of an administration
of the general affairs through general authorities, and subse-
quently through a general constitution for the administration
of common affairs, to the introduction whereof we will take
the necessary steps as soon as possible.
"In future, therefore, the affairs of all parts of the mo-
narchy which were formerly administered by the department
for foreign affairs and the quartermaster-general shall be
administered by the general aide-de-camp for the military
and naval service, by the General Commissariat College, by
the finance deputation, by the director of the national debt
and the sinking funds, and the general post direction, or shall
be submitted to our royal inspection in like manner as for-
merly.
" The business appertaining to the first and second sec-
tions of the Court of Exchequer, so far as these relate to
taxes, duties, the revenue and exchequer, and all matters
appertaining to duties and colonial affairs, and which were
formerly under the board of Customs and the Commercial
Chamber (all which matters, in so far as they belong to the
Kingdom of Denmark, have already been confided to the
standing Ministry), shall be administered;by the Ministers for
Foreign Affairs, of War, of Marine, and Finance, according
to existing regulations in suchwise that the sphere of opera-
tion of these Ministers shall, as was formerly the case with
section
h oh
the above-named board, which were placed immediately
beneath us, extend to all parts of our monarchy. The sphere
of operation assigned to the Ministers for the kingdom of
Denmark—viz., the Department of Justice, the Home De-
partment, and the Department for Ecclesiastical and Scho-
lastic business, remains unchanged.

Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenburg, and
Exchequer, the General Board of Customs, and the third

department, which
has been assigned to the Minister
of Marine, and the consular department, which has been con-
fided to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, as well as the bu-
siness

vernment), shallin
fo r
future be administered, according to the
standing rules,e
in so far as they the Ministry for the;duchies of Schleswig,
aertain to this duchy, and by the Ministers
for the duchy of Holstein and Lauenburg, in so far as they
appertain to these two duchies, independently of which all
matters common to the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein
relative to non-political establishments and institutions—
viz., the university at Kiel, the order of knighthood, the
Schleswig-Holstein Canal, the insurance companies, the
penal institutions, the deaf and dumb asylum, and the
lunatic, asylum shall be administered in colleague by the
Minister for the Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg. One
whole Ministry shall have their permanent and exclusive
seat in the Royal capital and residentiary city of Copenhagen.
"Our whole Ministry constitutes our Privy Council, in
which we intend in future to take the presidency, and in
whose sittings our well-beloved uncle, his Royal Highness
the Hereditary Prince, will take part as heretofore. In re-
gard to the sphere of business and the order of our Privy
Counil, the standing rules shall remain in force till further
notice. The minutes shall be taken by our Secretary of
State.

We may also guess, from the strange and un-
called for allusion of the Honourable Baronet
who moved the Address, to two questions
of vital importance, and on which the voice of public
opinion has been very clearly and unquivocally ex-
pressed, that no changes will be made in the manner
of recording the suffrage, or in the duration of Par-
liament. We should be sorry to consider that the
gratuitous and wanton attack upon two points so
strongly insisted upon, by those through whose
exertions Lord JOAN RUSSELL has been placed in
his present position, could be supposed to have
emanated from, or been sanctioned by, any Cabinet
Minister. But, although we may not charge Lord
JOHN RUSSELL with participating in the " utter
abhorrence" of " the ballot " expressed by Sir
RICHARD BULKELEY, we may easily conceive that
the Honourable Baronet would never have
taken so great a liberty unless he had been
apprised that " the ballot" formed no portion of the
new Bill. The speeches of the mover and seconder
of the Address may be regarded as bearing a semi-
official character. They are independent Members
giving in their adhesion to the Ministerial policy, and
before doing so very significant hints are usually
given respecting the chief features of the contem-
plated measures referred to in the Royal Speech.
It may, therefore, be inferred that the new Bill will
be restricted to an extension of the suffrage, and,
perhaps, if former pledges be not totally disregarded,
to the abolition of the property qualification of Mem-
bers; but that there will be no real attempt to make a
more equitable distribution of electoral power, and that
" the ballot," and any alteration in the period for which
Members of the House of Commons are returned, will
be altogether ignored. It requires, then, no extraor-
dinary power of vaticination to foretel that if Lord
Jonri RUSSELL do not make good use of the inter-
vening time, and take more enlarged and comprehen-
oive views of the necessities of his position, he will
not retrieve his ancient reputation, but, on the con-
trary, will materially increase the dissatisfaction which
some of his recent proceedings have excited, and
which now generally prevails, and which is rapidly
extending throughout the country.

Several interesting particulars will be found re-
corded this evening among the details of our
foreign intelligence. To at least three of them we
would more especially direct public attention. From
the latest accounts received front the Peninsula, it
will be perceived that another of those detestable
outrages has taken place in Madrid, which are cal-
culated to invest even the most depraved royalty
with the popular sympathies arising from a brutal
attempt at assassination. Under any circumstances
a crime of this kind is certain, among all right-
thinking persons, to excite feelings of the most utter
abhorrence. No matter whether the sovereign who
is assailed be the most execrable of despots or
the most unscrupulous and unprincipled of intriguers,
the indignation felt by the beholder is at all times
genuine, if not unanimous. It was thus that the
Romans found flowers scattered pityingly, if not
lovingly, over the tomb of NExto—monster of infamy
though he war, and dyed as he was, even in his detested
grave, with the indelible guilt of matricide. It
was thus that the very men who most reviled his late
Majesty King Louis PHILIPPE heard with sen-
timents only of the deepest regret of the re-
peated attacks made upon his life by ruffians like
Amman's or FIESCHL Unfortunately, moreover,
the dagger or pistol of the desperado may be raised
against monarchs of all descriptions. Those of the
most pacific and benevolent character, as well as
those who devastate a foreign land with the flaming
sword of a conqueror, are liable, as history too often
assures us, to the peril of these repeated attempts at
assassination : it was in this manner that the
Emperor NAPOLEON was assailed in the Aus-
trian Palace of Schcenbrunn, and that Queen
VICTORIA has been more than once shot at in
the midst of her people and in the heart of
her metropolis. The late murderous assault upon the
Queen of SPAIN, however, has exceeded in brutality
almost any that has hitherto transpired, the miscreant
having fired at her most Catholic MAJESTY on the
occasion of her going to be churched, and when her
whole constitution must necessarily have been weak-
ened from the effects of her recent confinement.
Wounded, as she appears to have been, it is to
be feared that the result may be more melancholy
than is anticipated. Whatever the consequences
of the crime, there cannot but be one feeling
among all those who hear of the atrocity, a
feeling of sincere and earnest commiseration.
Another circumstance to which we would call the
notice of the community, as to one of no little im-
portance affecting the tranquillity of Christendom, is
the issuing of the proclamation in reference to the
duchy of Schleswig by his Majesty the King of
DENMARK. Tne result of the publication of that
important document it is to be hoped may, at length,
be the pacific settlement of a question which has
hitherto threatened to be interminable, leading
at some moments to bloodshed and at others to any-
thing but pacific negotiations. The third particular
to which we would make allusion is the appearance
of the new electoral laws of the French Republic in
the columns of the Moniteur. From that remarkable
and liberal group of arrangements regulating the
forthcoming election of the legislative representatives
of the French people it will be seen that the votes are
to be given under the cover. of—THE BALLOT AND
UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ! Greater political freedom
than this no nation could enjoy : and, as in the case
of the recent election of the PRESIDENT, the ap-
proaching election of the legislators of the democracy
must be the expression of the real wishes of the
multitude. In facts of this description we recognise
the most estimable assurance of the progress of en-
lightenment throughout Christendom. It were well
for England if (instead of deriding as the victims of
tyranny the very people who alone in Europe have
secured to themselves the popular rights of the Ballot
and of Universal Suffrage) her inhabitants
directed their energies and their political
aspirations more immediately to their own ad-
vantage. We should then probably have a somewhat
better chance of a Reform Bill really beneficial to
the population than is now before us at present in
the paltry measure promised :to the nation by the
leader of the existing Government. A wiser divi-
sion of the electoral districts, a more wholesome dis-
franchisement of the most corrupt boroughs now
sending Members to the Imperial Parliament, and a
syllable of explanation, at least, in reference to the
great question of the Ballot, might then revive the
hopes of the more liberal section of the community
in the cause of our progressive advancement.
Information as to the necessities of our internal
position as a nation, and as to our external relations
with foreign countries, should not only be sedulously
collected by the public journalist, but from time to
time, we conceive, that the two things should by him
be contrasted and compared—so that some more ac-
curate notion than would be otherwise attainable
might be arrived at as to the progress of events in our
generation, Advisable upon all occasions and at
every available opportunity, this course should, we
conceive, be the more scrupulously followed up
at the commencement of the Parliamentary session,
and when men's minds are more peculiarly alive to
the importance of such observations. Therefore it is
that, while lamenting the melancholy occurrence
which has just transpired at Madrid, we are rejoiced
at being enabled to comment thus favourably on the
latest accounts received from Paris and from Copen-
hagen—the accounts from the capital of France
yielding sureties to the world that the citizens of the
Republic are not altogether crushed under the heel of
despotism, and the accounts from the capital of Den-
mark holding out fair promise, at least in one direc-
tion, that the chances of war are diminishing on the
European continent.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American and 500
Surat were taken for export, and 500 American on spe-
culation. The market closed tamely with prices a shade
in favour of buyers. The sales comprised 6,000 Ame-
rican, 500 Egyptian at 54d. to 6d., 1,000 Surat at 3d.
to 4d., and 150 Sea Island at Is. 2d. to is. 7id. per lb.,
Railway shares were flat.
The cultivation of cotton in Trans-Caucasia is ca-
pable, it is said, of great extension, and the staple would
obtain a ready market in Russia. In the year 1830
Russia imported and consumed 250,000 poods, but in
1850 used 1,000,000 poods. At Kiow the cotton pro-
duced is not inferior to that of Egypt, and can be deli-
vered at Moscow upon terms to compete with the former.
The sixth part of the land that is fit for the growth of
cotton would, if cultivated, supply the entire consump-
tion of Russia.

There are Australian accounts of November 11, which
read excellently as regards gold prospects. The pre-
cious metal was arriving constantly at Sydney. A
feature in these accounts is highly satisfactory, viz., that
the grain harvest was abundant, and that the labourers
were returning to harvesting. The wool also was
coming to market in better condition than had been ex-
pected.
At Amsterdam, on the 233, Dutch Two-and-a-Half

"As no doubt can possibly obtain as to our firm resolve to
keep inviolate to the determination of the Danish funda-
mental law—
" We will likewise, in a constitutional manner, assign to
the Provincial States for our duchy of Schleswig, as well as
to the Provincial States for the duchy of Holstein, such a
development -that each of these duchies shall have a standing
representative, with executive power as to those matters
which have hitherto belonged to the sphere of their delibera-
tive Provincial States.
" For the attainment of this object we will, therefore,
draw up projects of law for each of the said two Duchies,
and have them submitted to the debates of their Provincial
States, in conformity with sec. 8 of the general law of the
28th ;May, 1831, and of the concluding resolution of the
ordonnances of the 15th May, 1834.
" The projeet of law which will to this end be prepared
for the Duchy of Schleswig, shall particularly comprise the
necessary regulations for guarding and securing the perfectly
equal right and powerful protection of the Danish and Ger-
man nationalities in these duchies.
" The suspension of the operations of the Schleswig-
Holstein-Lauenburg chief court of appeal is returned in
regard to the duchy of Schleswig. In order that the com-
petency of this high tribunal may be limited to the duchies
of Holstein and Lauenburg a project of law will be submitted
to the consideration of the first meeting of the Assembly
of the Provincial States. The Provincial States for the
duchy of Schleswig and the Provincial States for the duchy
of Holstein shall be convoked as soon as possible after the
expiration of the present electoral period, terminating this
year after the election of the deputies shall have first taken
place. The election in those districts of the duchy of Schles-
wig which are in a state of siege shall not take place there
until after the raising of the siege. The yidl vote' which
belongs by inheritance to his Highness the Duke of Schles-
wig-Holstein Sonderberg-Angustenburg, in the Schleswig-
Holstein Provincial States Assembly, falls there. The free
and unconditional use of the Danish and German language
in the assemblies of the provincial state of the duchy of
Schleswig will be accorded to the Assembly, on its very
first meeting, the requisite measures thereunto will be taken
by us.
" So soon as our seignorial right shall be entirely re-
established in our Duchy of Holstein, this duchy shall be
governed according to legally existing laws, and which shall
only be altered in a constitutional mauner, in order to intro-
duce a general system of customs for the whole monarchy.
The necessary measures will be immediately taken for raising
the customs line on the Eider. The state of siege which
exists in some districts of the Duchy of Schleswig shall be
raised there, and the patent for the amnesty for this duchy,
executed on the 10th of May, 1851, shall be subject to a
comprehensive revision. Those persons who shall sub-
sequently be still further excluded from the amnesty
shall likewise not be permitted to take up their
abode in any other part of our monarchy ; while those per-
, who shall not be excluded from the
shall be permitted to return freely and uncondi-
tionally into the Duchy of Schleswig.
In regard to our Duchy of Luxemburg, we will make
,esotny,the other hand
pgaorannbnslicly known oar royal resolution after previous consti-
tutional negotiation with our faithful order of knights and
gentlemen.
our position as members of the Germanic Confedera-
tion Holstein and Luxemburg remains
f
unaltered.r
We confidently expect that our loving and faithful
subjects in all parts of our Monarchy will recognise in the
proceedings a fresh proof of our paternal care, which em-
braces all with equal love; and we trust that by the help of
oDuchies of
the
the Almighty we may be able to secure to the lands united
under our sceptre a happy future.

Foreign Securities have been moderately dealt in.
Spanish Bonds are lower owing to the attempted
assassins' ion of the Queen, further information
upon which is anxiously looked for in the City.
Extreme disgust is everywhere manifested at such
cowardly attacks up a Sovereign, not personally disliked
or arbitrary. Mexican Bonds have been 32 to 32i,
being rather firmer. The voting of the Indemnity
money was under the consideration:of the United States
Legislature, and the :only opposition to its being ar-
ranged, through some large English mercantile house,
Messrs. Baring, for example, arose rfrom General
Green, a partner in a firm at New York, that, no doubt,
would be glad of the contract. The repeated state-
ment about Caravagal requires no notice, as
his defeat has already been admitted ; and he is
certain again to be worsted if he re.appears on the scene
of his former disgrace. No one doubts that his efforts are
directed to a purely selfish end, having their origin
in the suppression of smuggling, by which he and
others profited. Grenada Stock is at 17, and the
Deferred have dropped to 6 and 51. Eqaador are quiet
at 4. Venezuela Bonds are at 36. Spanish Five per
Cents. are worth only 22:1 to 23. The Deferred are 17i

with the exchange at 25 30. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are at 58e, and Russian Fives have
touched 114.

The public curiosity, with respect to the long-
promised Reform Bill of 18.52, will speedily be set at
rest. Not only have we the reference thereto in her
MAJESTY'S Speech, but :we find that it has received
precedence over all other Government measures, and
that, on Monday nex, Lord' JOHN 1113.•5ELL will ask
leave to introduce a Bill " to extend the right of
voting for Members of Parliament, and to amend the
laws relating to the representation of the people."
So far, there can be no just cause of complaint of the
Ministerial proceeding with respect to the proposed
ez"sion of the principles of the modern charter of
the national liberties. There are other indications,
however,
which are e
tit by no means of so satisfactory

main-
tained intact. Such, at least, is the only
conclusion that can be deduced from the
fact of a separate measure for St. Albans. And if
so, the new Bill necessarily fails in one of the most
essential requisites, and cannot prove acceptable to
genuine and true-hearted Reformers.
If there be no disfranchisement of the rotten bo-
roughs, we cannot hope to see the right of represen-
tation conferred on many large towns and populous
districts, which are fairly and justly entitled to the
privilege. We can scarcely look for—we shall not
say an equalivition of the electoral districts, or any-
thing approximating thereto—but even a more Equit-
able distribution of electoral power. We shall
behold a small and insignificant minority making
laws for the majority, and the representative of less
than one-sixth of the number, and far less than one-
sal of the property of the country, able to out-vote
and disregard the opinions of those chosen by the

Mem-
bers for South Devon, will of ler himself to the electors of

otherwise, Mr. Lopes will make the fourth candidate. This

METROPOLITAN RIFLE (3x,uns.—A body of influen-
tial gentlemen at the West-en d have, for the last few days,
been busily engaged in formi nt; an association, having for
its object the establishment of rifle clubs in the various
districts of London. A nut ne rous meeting was held, on
Thursday evening last, at the Thatched House Tavern, St.
James's, when various resolu;io ns were carried, and a com-
mittee formed for the purpose o,' developing its plans. We
understand that it is the inten.til in of the committee to raise
subscriptions for the purpose of procuring rifles for the use
of such members as may be unal ,le or indisposed to purchase
them. Among the first subscrir Lions received for carrying
out this object was one of 5L ii om Mrs. Alfred Tennyson
and another of the same amour 4 from the Poet Lamest e
himself.

PRIVATE LETTER-BOXES.—The Postmaster-Ge-
neral has ordered that for the future no person resident
within the free delivery of any tc .wn shall be allowed t, se id
daily to the post-office for his h )tters unless he has either
ortyate boz or private bag, for i fhich he must pay fee 4.
