AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, SAN. 21.
The Austrian troops destined for service in Schles
wig commenced their march yesterday.

It is believed that the Austrian and Prussian
Ambassadors quitted Copenhagen at the same time.
The official Ministerial explanation in the Con-
ference of the Finance Committee of the policy pur-
sued by the Great German Powers relative to
Schleswig, appears to have been so far satisfactory
that the conflict apprehended between the Govern-
ment and the Lower House is not to be expected.
A strong intermediate party having been formed,
the credit demanded by the Government is not
likely to be refused.
The documents laid by Count Rechberg befor e
the Finance Committee of the Lower House, in-
cluded the Protocols of the Federal Diet, the in-
structions of the diet to the Federal Commissioners
in Holstein, and an authentic copy of the stipula-
tions of the treaties of 1851 and 1852.
Count Rechberg further stated that the cc-opera-

tion of Austria with Prussia was based upon formal
State treaties, and in the Schleswig-Holstein
question specially upon a military convention.

HAYMAKING CASE.

In this case the Solicitor-General had obtained a rule to
stow cause why the conviction of the magistrates of Leigh
in relation to the celebrated case of haymaking on a Sunday
should not be quashed, on the ground that a farmer did not
come within the statute of Charles 11. relating to the ob-
servance of the Sabbath.

Mr. Mellish, Q.C., with Mr. Bayley now showed cause
against the rule, and in support of the conviction. They
contended that a farmer, and the persons labouring under
him, came within the meaning of the statute, which pro-
hibi ed any tradesman, artificer and labourer, or any other
person from pursuing their ordinary calling on the Sunday•
The Solicitor-General having been briefly heard in reply,
The Court was unanimous in their opinion that the con-
viction ougbt to be quashed, arid that a fanner did not
come within the meaning of the statute, or any person pur-
suing such occupation under him.
Conviction quashed.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
THE MOSELY GREEN COAL AND COKE COMPANY.
This was a meeting for considering a proof of debt pre-
sented by Mr. Hancock, a stockbroker, for a sum of £4,000,
monies advanced for and on account of the company; and
for which he held four bills of exchange signed by two of
the directors, and sealed with the seal of the company.
The case was adjourned till to-day, Mr. Hampton, solidi.
tor, and a shareholder, having challenged the validity of
the notes, and he also contended that Mr. Hancock's name
ought to be put on the list of contributions for £251.
Mr. J. Tucker (Greville, Tucker, and Co.), for the official
liquidator, said the accounts had been investigated, and
there did not appear any ground for opposing the proof. A
further adjournment, however, was ordered that the ques-
tion as to shares might be argued at the same time.
A petition was opened by Mr, Sorrell, of Mark .lane,
against William Collyer, of Oakley-street, Lambeth, smith
and tool manufacturer. The bankrupt surrendered and
received protection.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JAN. 21, 1864.

It is hardly to be credited that truth can really
be at the heart of the rumour now afloat to the
effect that Denmark, at the eleventh hour, has so far
conceded as to have volunteered a pacific proposi
lion. Hardly, we repeat, is this amazing report seri-
tusly to be credited. Dire though would be the
calamity of war to any kingdom, direr still to it
would be the loss of its honour. " Ali is lost," said
one of the most chivalrous of European Sovereigns
upon the morrow of a disastrous defeat, "All
53 lost—saving Honour." The very reason for
Xing CirmsTratc's occupancy of the throne of Den-
mark is the belief among the Danes that he, at
least, among the princely race he represents, might
he implicitly confided in as the Champion, the Un-
flinching and indomitable Champion of the dis-
puted rights of Denmark in respect to the won-
derfully difficult and complicated problem in
regard to the twin Duchies of Schleswig
and Holstein. It appears to US a thing in-
credible, therefore, that at the
very first
Critical juncture in reference to that matter of
King CHRISTIAN, or 11 Schleswig-Holstein,
ato.&;:ad.
should evince any disposition Vhaterer
His yielding now would be most flagrantly yielding
to open intimidation. It is a thing, therefore, we be
Have, hardly to be thought of—we will not say as
a probability, but even as a possibility. The na-
tional pride of the D:!.nes for that matter is not to be
thus lightly outraged. But beyond that the
pride:of tke whole of the great Scandinavian races

,
may 09described as intimately involved or impli-
cated in the solutioa of the problem, the dispute in
regard to which has just now brought Danmark,
on the ono hand, Germany on the other, if notes yet,
into opon collision—at any rate, face to face with
each other, arms in hand! The rumour, however,
is so ugly in its way, that we turn, with a profound
solicitude for the honour, not only of a King, but of
a Nation, to the very latest tidings flashed to us
by telegraph, to the very latest tidings calculated
in any manner to throw light upon the more im•
minent probabilities, Strictly in accordance with
nil that was previously known in respect to the
feelings cherished in this matter by the Danish
Parliament and the Danish Administration is the
intimation transmitted, under date last evening,
from Copenhagen, to the effect that in the debate

IN RE 11. DAVIS.

This bankrupt was a woollen and bilk agent, and this
was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The
principal, almost the whole of the liabilities, were on accom-
modation bills for Monk and Co., cotton, woollen, and silk
spinner, at Huddersfield, who failed some time since for a
large amount.
Mr. Bazley, for the bankrupt, said the bill had been ac-
cepted for his employers, Monk and Co., who were sup-
posed to be the most extensive and opulent spinners in the
West of England, but they failed, and left the bankrupt
with the liabilities, but the bill holders would not be severe
sufferers, as the estato of Monk and Co. would pay a large
dividend.
His Honour said that the Court must mark its sense of
such a flagrant fraud of all such commercial property.
Mr. Bazley said that the bankrupt was continually re•
ceiving goods from Monk and Co.
His Honour said the mischief of such conduct was
apparent, and the world was deceived. The order of dis-
charge must be suspended for six months, but with pro-
tection.

money able to be spent there arc always excuses rising up
from one of the services or the other, and demands are made
for increased expenditure which it is exceedingly difficult for
the Chancellor of the Exchequer—than whom I assure you
there is no roan more inclined for economy—to resist.
During the last few years there has been a considerable re-
duction of expenditure. My belief is that your expenditure
may be reduced below what it is at present without impair-
ing the value of your establishments—(cheers)—and I
think if her Majesty's present Government are permitted
much longer to carry on public affairs, in all probability
there will be reductions following that course of reduction
which has taken place during the last two years. And
now, gentlemen, if there aro any questions which you may
wish to address to me, I shall be most happy to answer them.
I perhaps could better discharge my duty to my constituents
by putting the matter before them in that light than, per-
haps, I could by commencing to dilate upon some subject in
which they cannot take a particular interest. (The right
hon. gentleman, after repeating the expression of his readi-
ness to answer any inquiries from his constituents, sat
down amidst hearty cheering.)
A hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr. Gibson, and a
similar compliment to the Mayor closed the proceedings.

BEDFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at
the Euston Station, to consider the propriety of raising ad-
ditional capital, and of making application to Parliament
for that purpose—Mr. Whitbread in the chair.
Mr. W. LONG, the secretary, having read the notice con-
vening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN stated that in the first instance it would
be necessary to have an amicable arrangement with the
London and North Western Company as to the terms upon
which the additional capital should be raised ; and as no
meeting of the London and North Western directors had
been held for that purpose, he proposed that the present
meeting be adjourned for a fortnight, by which time he
hoped some reasonable terms would be agreed upon. He
then moved that the meeting be adjourned to the 3d of
February next.
The motion was adopted, and the meeting adjourned ac-
cordingly.

KINGSBRIDGE.

An influential weeting was held at the Town-hall, Kings-
bridge (South Devon) on Tuesday, the Earl of Devon in
the chair, to adopt measures with reference to a proposed
railway from the South Devon Railway to that town.

Mr. SHORTLAND moved a resolution to the effect that,
in the opinion of the meeting, it was highly desirable that
the advantages of railway communication should be afforded
to the town of Kingsbridge.
Mr. W. R. 11,11ERT, in seconding the resolution, said he
should take shares to the amount of L5OO.
The motion was carried.

Mr. W. B. FORTESCUE moved a resolution approving the
proposed railway to connect Kingsbridge with the South
Brent station of the South Devon Railway, stating that
it deserved the support of the district, as being the shortest
and most feasible route.
➢ir. N. FITTS seconded the resolution, which was carried.
A committee was then appointed, and upwards of £6,000
in shares was subscribed in the room.

of Buckfastleigh, and its neighbourhood; and, on the
motion of Mr. J. Symons, seconded by Mr. li.ierman, a re-
solution was passed pledging the meeting to support the
proposed line.

This bankrupt was described as of Osborne-road, Bow,
manager of a rope manufactory.
Mr. Reed anneariaa fnr orpditors,
bankrupt as to the disposal of his pi opcL ty, and also as
to his means at the present time, and he said that he re-
ceived a salary of £2OO, and had a house to live in—he
could not set aside half or one-third for his creditors, but
offered £3O.
Mr. Sorrell, Mark-lane, examined the bankrupt, to explain
the circumstances under which the goods were taken by a
creditor, and submitted that there was no ground for sup-
posing the bankrupt had kept back any property, and he
was quite willing to set aside any reasonable amount for
the benefit of his creditors.
His Honour ordered the discharge—the bankrupt to set
aside £5O a year till the debts (L 262) were paid.

The first debate on the address in the Volksthing

the constitution of the 18th November is a pledge
of the independence of Denmark.
The Flyvepotten of to. day says :—" In the reply
of the Government to the Austrian and Prussian
ultimatums, it should be distinctly declared, that
Denmark will not tolerate the occupation of Schles-
wig by these Powers, but that she would repel by
force of arms such an hostile act as a decided
breach of international law." The weather has be-
come milder, the thermometer now being at frecz •

IN RE CAVE.

This bankrupt was described as of Osborne-road, Bow,
manager of a rope manufactory.
Mr. Reed appeared for creditors, and questioned the
bankrupt as to the disposal of his property, and also as
to his means at the present time, and he said that he re-
ceived a salary of £2OO, and had a house to live in—he
could not set aside half or one-third for his creditors, but
offered £3O.
Mr. Sorrell, Mark-lane, examined the bankrupt, to explain
the circumstances under which the goods were taken by a
creditor, and submitted that there was no ground for sup-
posing the bankrupt had kept back any property, and he
was quite willing to set aside any reasonable amount for
the benefit of his creditors.
His Honour ordered the discharge—the bankrupt to set
hide £5O a year till the debts (L 262) were paid.

`AYE'S WORSDELL'S PlLLS.—These Pills
are a purely vegetable preparation, and may be taken
.t any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their fine tonic,
aromatic, and aperient properties, they remo e all oppressive
accumulations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels,
strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood. Unlike many
remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or esta-
blish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the "BEST FAMILY
MEDICINE.

mitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con-

pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption
its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or

THACKERAYANA.

MR. THACKERAY'S POSTHUMOUS WORK, which was a
modern one, was not intended to ba a regular three volume
novel, but merely a brisk, stirring story, occupying the
usual space in about eight numbers of the Cornhill, and
concluding within these limits. It is said that matter for
about four numbers was written ere the mighty hand grow
cold in death, so that something more is left to us than
a mere fragment; also that among Thackeray's papers
there is much which will hear publication, many hitherto
unpublished trifles of a very early date, which will be read
with deep interest, as well as matter of more recent com-
position.

HIS FEAT OF PENMANSHIP,—The late Mr. Thaekeray
was an accomplished penman, and used to pride himself on
the neatness and dexterity with which he could cram the
greatest possible number of words into the smallest possible
space. A few weeks before his death he was present at
the usual Saturday dinner, at which the contributors to
Puna are accustomed to meet and arrange the programme
for the next week's number. The conversation turning
upon Mr. Thackeray's skill in this way, he was challenged
to give an illustration, whereupon he produced a four-
and having marked the circle of the coin
penny-piece,
with a pen on a piece of paper, he drew in the centre a
crown, and filled up the remaining space with the Lord's
Prayer, which he transcribed without a single contraction
except in the case of the word " which," spelling it " wh."
Singular to relate, too, the pen used was an ordinary goon-
quill which happened to be in the room,

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, JAN. 21.
The Austrian troops destined for service in Schles
wig commenced their march yesterday.

Ic is believed that the Austrian and Prussian
Ambassadors quitted Copenhagen at the same time.
The official Ministerial explanation in the Con-
ference of the Finance Committee of the policy pur-
sued by the Great German Powers relative to
Schleswig, appears to have been so far satisfactory
that the conflict apprehended between the Govern-
ment and the Lower House is not to be expected.
A ntrons intermediate party having been formed,
the credit demanded by the Government is not
likely to be refused.
The documents laid by Count Rechberg befor e
the Finance Committee of the Lower House, in-
cluded the Protocols of the Federal Diet, the in-
structions of the diet to the Federal Commissioners
in Holstein, and an authentic copy of the stipula-
tions of the treaties of 1851 and 1852.
Count Rechberg further stated that the cc-opera-

tion of Austria with Prussia was based upon formal
State treaties, and in the Schleswig-Holstein
question specially upon a military convention.

following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-

most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
