more than another io unfitted for its inconvenient
and disastrous influence, it certainly appears that a
workhouse comes under the category.

The sympathies of the English public have of
late been very strongly excited on behalf of the
Danish people. Kindred in race and in character,
cherishing the same love for freedom and the same
resolution to maintain it at any hazards, we have
watched their conflict with the invaders with the
keenest interest. Whatever view individuals may
take of the vexed and entangled question of the
Schleswig-Holstein Duchies, it is impossible to avoid
Eympathising with a brave people in their resistance
to a hostile force advancing upon their rights. The
story of the campaign has, as yet, been short but
eventful. Is has resulted in much bloodshed and
suffering, if in nothing more, and the eager desire
so generally felt by ,Englishmen to lend some aid
has at length found the means of expression in at-
tempting to relieve the distress occasioned by the
encounter. In waiting for the production of the
long-promised correspondence Parliament has not
even ventured upon a decided declaration of indig-
nation or of sympathy. The public has ceased to
hope for the despatch of an English fleet, or even
the vigorous expression of the Cabinet's displeasure
Half-a-dozen English vessels appearing on the
scene would dispel a good many German illusions ;
but everything, so far as this country and its
rulers are concerned, is to take its own course.
Chafing under this ination, some earnest and warm-
hearted Englishmen hive devised a plan by which
they can at least diminish the sufferings inflicted
upon Denmark by this unjust and causeless war, if
they are prevented by the faineant policy of the
Whigs from arresting the infliction of those suffer-
ings. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE has addressed
a letter to the Times, announcing the formation of
a committee with a view to the transmission of aid
to the sick and wounded Danes. Many persons, as
the noble lord informs us, have stated their willing-
ness to contribute to such a scheme, and we have
little doubt that the subscriptions will flow in
largely and freely. Lord CLANRICARDE says that
the sufferings of the Danes, suddenly called upon
to protect their country against overwhelming num-
bers, must excite our compassion, whatever may be
our political opinions. In this we apprehend that
he is mistaken, since those who espouse the German

cause would be scarcely likely to subscribe for the
assistance of the Danish wounded. Happily this
point is likely to create little disturbance in the
present instance, since the public has been through-
out on the cause of the marine people—our old
allies, to whom we are so nearly bound by the late
happy Royal marriage. To the ordinary horrors
of battle are superadded the sufferings caused by
cold; and in spite of the hardihood of the people, it
Will be a severe trial to the health and fortitude of
the strongest to brave exposure during the bitter
nights of a northern winter. This trcuble, although
not remediable, can at least be mitigated in its
stern effects, and we mot doubt that English men
and women will seize this opportunity of showing
that national sympathy for the oppressed and ill-
used Danes which the supineness or timidity of
their Government hinders from more tangible and
active expresBien.

HUNGARIAN WINES.—The soil and climate of

tion. The superb Badacsony mountains encircle the ma-
jestie lake of Balaton, covering a surface of 125 square
miles ; the ari I and elevated region of Menes, or Vilagos,
shelters the rich vales of the Bgnat,—the holy Canaan of
llwagary ; the pyramidal mount of Tokaj, a chaotic
and perdurable landmark, dominates the borders of a
vast plain. It is like Vesuvius in form, and its existing
yet silent crater points irresistibly to the fact that it
was once a flame-consuming phenomenon. The tillage of
such a locality is both troublesome and expensive, the pro-
duco obtainable ever small ; but then in the latent fire of
this volcanic spot lives the peerless Imperial Tokay. The
territory exceeds fire miles in length, and covers upwards
of 60,000 acres, yielding on an average about 1,250,000
gallons of good ordinary wine; 375,000 gallons of fair or
superior, and 50,000 more of superfine wine ; the two latter
sorts only forming a medium of external commerce, and
finding their way into Germany, Poland, and Russia. In
France and England there are, perhaps, scarcely a hundred
bottles; the reason being that the former people fetch the
wine, which the French and English omit to do, 'whilst the
patient owners act negatively, and are content to wait till
buyers come to them,"—The Vins csnc i•6s "70,
