negotiated by the principal powers cf Europe, and
was founded on a desire to establish equitable relations
between Denmark and the Germania • Confederation.
The law of succession admitted females to the throne of
Denmark, but it was limited to males in the duchy of Hol-
stein. It was, however, arranged that the King of Denmark
should have the power of nominating a successor to the
throne of the duchy. In reference to the historical portion
of the subject he drew the attention of the house to the fact
that the Linke of Augustenburg had his property confiscated
and disposed of his political right for a pecuniary con-
sideration, and therefore, as far as he was concerned,
he had no ground of complaint. The treaty
to which he referred was calculated to promote
the peace of Europe, and would no doubt have Effected that
object if all the parties to it had been animated by a spirit
of justice. Having referred to the mixed German and Den-
mark element in the population of the Duchies, and the
occupation of the Duchies by the Federal troops
of Germany, he said that the course adopted
by the German Powers was an admission that
the Kings of Denmark was Duke of Holstein. The
objeet of this country was merely to effect an amicable
arrangement between the belligerent parties, and in pro-
posing the Conference they were actuated merely by that
object, (Hear, hear.) Having gone in detail into:the
different facts connected with the proceedings of
the Conference, the noble lord said that under the
circumstances, notwithstanding the sympathy that might
be felt for Denmark, it was not deemed advisable to recom-
mend her Majesty to go to war on behalf of that kingdom,
and he mentioned that the King of Denmark declined any
arbitration on the part of this country. The
real question at issue was the possession of the
duchy of Schleswig, and not the independence of
Denmark. If the latter were threatened he would not say
that this country would not feel itself called on to interfere.
(Hear, hear.)

Mr, DISRAELI expressed himself dissatisfied with the
statement of the noble lord, and said he would take an early
opportunity of taking the opinion of the house on the foreign
policy of the Government.

A STORY OF LORD BROUGHAM.—Once upon a
time, in the palmy days of Brougham, Russell, and
Whiggery, her Majesty's Ministers visited the brewery,
and ate a rumpsteak luncheon in one of the great vats.
This feat accomplished, the representative Whigs and big.
wigs made an inspection of the brewery, and at every step
of their progress Lord Brougham acted as expounder,
demonstrator, and spokesman, so that it soon became a
question with his friends whether Truman, Hanbury,
Buxton, and Company had not been suddenly rolled into
one and compressed within his lordship's mighty
cranium, for he actually appeared to know more about
the place, the machinery, the chemistry, and even the trade,
than the practical heads of the several departments. Hare
they encountered a force pump, used for raising water, or
no matter for what purpose. His lordship at once explained
the peculiarities of the engine, its capacity and capability;
talked about it, in fact, just like an experienced engineer.
So it was whichever way they turned, till they came to the
mashing vats, and there it was expected he would break
down. But no ; he knew all about the chemistry of worts,
explained off hand the effects of temperature and fer-
mentation on the flavour of ales, the influence of
soils and seasons on the qualities of malt and hops,
and thence on the values of the brewing.; and, is
fact, illuminated Mr. Booth, the then brewer to the
firm, and one of the soundest operative chemists of the day.
Then among the merry party there ran a buss to this
effect, " Wait till Brougham gets among the horses—he
knows nothing &bout horses ; we shall have the laugh of
him there." Yes, catch a weasel asleep, or a Scotch philo-
sopher daest or gold; and then tell it in Oath and else-
where. Brougham knew as much about the horses as the
master of the stables ; could select instanter those that were
strongest, those that were weakest, those purest bred, and
those of corrupt lineage; and thereupon the party gave
up all hope of disdovering his weak point, and allowed king
to partioips.te in the convivialities of the occasion without
further torture.--Iltiberd's Gardening Magasine.
OBSOLETE PUNISDAIENTS.—Our old chroniclers
speak very familiarly of " pillorising, carting,
riding, whipping," and these course forms of punishment
seem to have been impartially administered. In 1560, Mr.
Church and his man were set on the pillory at Westminster

(the master was a justice of the peace), for wrong-doing in
his office and for slandering the Privy Council. Soon
after, a skinner of Southwark underwent the like
ordeal, with a paper over his head Containing
his indictment, whence it appeared that he had long
and divers im-
md eocreailvepdractthicees.p public icis6b3y,
as owe tohms aayni n
tghat kept the Rosa
Tavern at St. Katherine's Tower, for having raw and
cooked meat in her house in Lent, appeared in the pillory.
while four women who partook of the forbidden meats, were
set in the stocks all night. Women convicted of being in-
curable scolds were paraded through the streets seated on
ass or horse hack, with their faces to the tail, and wearing
a sort of gag or btidle in their mouths, so contrived
that when they attempted to speak it would severely
lacerate the tongue of the eul'aer. For yet more
culpable incontinence, the miserable creature was ex-
posed in some public thoroughfare holding a lighted
taper, her fact bare and an accusatory label on her head.
While she implored mercy for her tranagreseions. We doubt
whether the moral effect of such exhibitions was at all satis-
factory. Te eat flesh in Lent without a dispensation was
held to be a very serious clime. In pursuance of a procla-
mation by the Queen and Council, March Ist, 1559, no
eemight expose flash to be eaten in Lent, or
at any
of tablesneyothe rtimeforbidden by the Church. Nor ware any
butchers allowed to slaughter animals for food during the
same period, under penalty of a heavy fine, or to stand on
the pillory for 6 hours, and euffer imprisonment for 10 days.
