Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The Anglo Chinese iron ram Tien-tsin, Commander
Nicolas, being the third vessel belonging to the expedi-
tionary fleet, under Commodore Sherard Osborn, C. 8.,
which hes returned to England, is ordered to be taken into
the outer basin is Woolwich dockyard this morning, to re •
turn stores. The crew have been granted leave of absence
to visit their friends. Before their departure Commander
Nicolas presented a gold pipe and chain (contributed by the
ship's company) to Richard Thomsett, chief boatswain's
mate, in testimony of his exemplary conduct during the
commission. Commodore Dunlop, senior officer at Wool.
with, and superintendent of the port, after mustering the
crew and inspecting the chip throughout, congratulated
Commander Nicolas on their cleanly and orderly condition.
Her arrival has been consPerably delayed by the collection
of barnacles and seaweed over her bottom, and which mate-
rially affected her rate of speed.
The iron cased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, Capt.
George 0. Willis, C. 8., having filled up with coal and pro-
visions, left Plymouth on Saturday for Portland, taking
seamen for the Channel squadron.
The iron screw steam transport Adventure, 2, Capt. C.
L. Waddilove, was appointed to leave Plymouth Sound on
Saturday for Dover, to embark troops for China.
The screw steam gun vessel Espoir, 5, Commander S.
Douglas, frem Sierra Leone Feb. 4, Gone, Feb, 20, Cape
Verd Islands Match 6, and the Western Islands April 4,
arrived on Saturday morning in Plymouth Sound. When
she left the station the Rattlesnake was at Sierra Leone, the
Zebra at Cape Coast, the Speep well, the Snake, and the
Pandora in the Bights, and the Investigator was at
Lagos. The Espoir spoke on April 11, in lat, 48 24 N,
long. 15 40 W, the brig Eaglet steering west; 14th, lat.
49 39 N, long. 11 17 W, the bark Juno, outward bound,
and lat. 49 32 N, long. 11 40 W, a large steamer steering
west. Off Fayal she encountered a heavy gale from the
eastward, but sustained no damage. The Espoir was com-
missioned at Devonport by Commander S. Douglas Aug.
21, 1860, and left England on September 27. On the
coast she was first engaged up the River Gambia in
settling native disputes. She then conveyed a portion
of the troops wrecked in the Perseverance from Navy
Island to Sierra Leone. During the passag; fever broke
out, and on arrival three. fourths of the ship's company
were on the sick list; she therefore proceeded to the
Bananas to recruit. On the 19th of November, 1860,
Gallinas River, she captured a Spanish brig, and
subsequently, near Ascension, the bark Clara Windsor, with
750 slaves. The Espoir was occupied until July, 1861, in
suppressing the slave trade. She was then engaged in
escorting the Sunbeam up the Niger to Onitsha. and while
performing this duty she fired at and burnt the village of
Kpetema, and had two men killed in the action. She
then cruised on the North coast until May, 1862, when she
was ordered to the south, where she captured, July the
22d, off Corigo, the bark Traviata ; in October, 1861, the
Dutch bark Jane or Fleet Eagle; in November, 1862, the
Portuguese launch E, with £1,200 for the purchase of
slaves; and in August, 1883, the brig Haidee, with 590
slaves. For the remainder of the commission she was em-
ployed in visiting the forts on the coast with Major Clarke,
R.E., who has come home a passenger in her. During her
commission she has lost Lieut. Stephenson and Mr. Teppett,
gunner, by fever, and Mr, Hersee, assistant engineer, by
consumption ; including the above she has lost 11 by death.
The total amount of her prize money will amount to XlO,OOO.
The Espoir will to-day discharge powder and ammunition,
and after inspection will proceed from the Sound into
Hamoaze to be dismantled. Her crew will be paid off at
Devonport.
The following appointments and promotions were made
on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. John Campion
Wells has been promoted to the rank of Commander; and
Mr. William Werayss Anderson, second-master, to the rank
of Lieut. ; Thomas E. Butters, assist.-engineer, to the Asia,
as supernumerary ; and John Franklin, assist,-engineer, to
the Victory for the Sprightly.

PR1CE.........4d.
STAMPED,....Sd.

Address from the Danish to the Swiss People•

We have received with a lively emotion your sympathetic
address, and we have been profoudly touched by your
wishes for the success of our arms. .

•
Thanks to the bond of a common interest which unites
the small free nations of Europe, you divine intuitively that
which the powerful of this world seem bent on not compre-
hending.
You have felt that the Prussians and Austrians, who are
invading our country, are not the champions of right and
liberty. It is certainly not for the saka of succouring an
oppressed nationality that Prussia hurls against us her
Poles, that Austria floods our plains with her Croats, Hun-
garians, and Italians. Our enemies pretend to set free the
German subjects of the King. whilst they send against us an
army composed of soldiery belonging to countries held by
force under an odious yoke.
Is this not a mockery ?

Not a single German people enjoys the liberty which we
have offered the Holsteiners. As for Schleswig, it is a
Danish country intimately bound up with our destiny by
identity of race ; its history confirms it. The Germans
have tried to establish themselves as masters ; but the ma-
jority of the inhabitants have preserved the Danish lan-
guage, customs, and traditions. The reciprocal relations of
those of its inhabitants who speak different languages have
been regulated by laws of such perfect equity that neither
Prussia nor Austria would ever dare to treat in the same
manner their non-German subjects.

For a long time already have the German thrones been
shaken by the revolution which undermines them, It was
necessary to give them greater stability by opening an out •
let for the passions of the people. Germany wanted reforms;
instead, there has been offeredit the conquest of fertile pro.
vinces with ports spacious enough for harbouring those
fleets which are to realise the insane aspirations of Ger-
many for universal dominion.
And what a master• stroke it would be if, at the same time,
our free constitution, which for so many reasons is a thorn
in the eyes of the tyrants, both small and great, of Germany
could be overthrown.

These are the motives which have brought £40,000,000
of Germans to take up arms against 2,000,000 of Danes.
The Danish monarchy is to be dismembered and to become
the vassal of Prussia—of that Prussia which, together with
her ally, not long ago consecrated by solemn treaties the in-
tegrity of the Danish monarchy,
You behold the Holy Alliance at work and can judge its
acts.

Our enemies proclaim that they will respect the laws of
the country and the rights of the different nationalities;
how is that promise kept ? Not only the authority of the
King is set aside, the national colours and rcyal emblems
trodden under foot; but on all aides the magistrates, the
clergy, and even the humble village schoolmasters aro
driven away, and fanatical Germans appointed in their place.
In the churches, schools, administration, courts of justice

—in short, everywhere the German language is enforced.
It is hoped in this wise to make short work of the obstinate
Danish nationality and to Germanise the country. Not
satisfied with waging a furious war with the living, the
dead are not even respected, and the monuments erected
over their tombs are destroyed.

Germans ought to blush with shame at hearing the re-
probation of Europe.
Men of Switzerland, we cannot expect from you any
direct assistance against these savage invaders of our
country; but we have been nevertheless glad to receive
your fraternal wishes. Your hearty words have come to us
a breath of your free mountain air; you have reminded us
of the heroic struggles of your ancestors. The memory of
those glorious deeds will sustain us in our trials.
We still cling to the hope that the chivalrous nations of
the West will stretch out to us their powerful hands, and
remember the treaties which guaranteed to Denmark for
ever, and against whomsoever, the ancient Danish province
of Schleswig. The dismemberment of oppressed but never
subdued Poland weighs heavily on the roiitical conscience
of Europe; it cannot possibly endure a repetition of that
crime.

We have the firm conviction that Providence will not let
the Danish nation perish. But if justice, right, and honour
ate to succumb, abandoned by all, isolated in our deter-
mined resistance we will offer to the world the spectacle of
a people which sacrifices for its independence the last drop
of its blood.

And now, Swiss brothers, may our fraternal greetings
reach you beyond the intervening ranks of our aggressors.

Miserable Death and Extraordinary Dis-
posal of a Newly-born Child,
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Henry Raflhs Walthew, the
deputy-coroner for Middlesex, held an adjourned inquiry
at the Three Compasses Tavern, Anchor-street, Brick-lane,
Bethnal-green, respecting the death of Elizabeth Mary
Bacey, aged 27 years, who died under the following circum-
stances :
The evidence went to prove that the deceased was a book-
folder, and had worked in one of the City warehouses. She
was a single woman, •and (mined about 108. weekly. She
had been living at 22, Anchor-street, Bethnal-green, and
had slept nightly in a small compartment partitioned off in
the corner of a turner's shop. She was in the habit of
leaving the place early in the morning, and returning late
in the evening, and paid no rent, She had one illegitimate
child, which was out at nurse, and on Thursday, the 7th
instant, the deceased was not about as usual, when the aunt
called her, but not receiving an answer she opened the door
of the place, and found the deceased lying upon a box ap •
patently dead. Dr. Roper, of High-street, Shoreditch,
was called, who promptly attended and pronounced life
extinct. The place was in a wretched condition, and was
swarming with vermin, which covered the body and the
clothing, There were also indications showing that the de-
ceased had recently been confined of a child, but although
every search was made nothing could be discovered of the
body.
Mr. Barrows, the coroner's officer and beadle, said that
he had searched every part of the house, and had even
ransacked the cellar, but ho could not discover the missing
body. lie believed the child had bean dropped in some bye
place.
Dr. Roper said that when he was called to see the deceased
the body was nearly cold, and deceased must have been
dead some hours. There were traces of a recent confine-
ment. The immediate cause of death was inflammation of
the lungs, brought on, no doubt, through exposure to the
weather shortly after her delivery. The body was covered
with vermin and somewhat emaciated.
The officer of the Court, Mr. Burrows, said the place
where deceased died was not larger than a cupboard, and
was in a most filthy condition. He had been in communica-
tion with the police of the district, but nothing could be
gleaned to lead to the discovery of the body of the missing
child.

A police constable stated that a newly-born child had been
found in the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, which
might probably be the offspring of the deceased.
The jury ultimately returned a verdict to the effect that
" the deceased died from congestion of the lungs, brought
on by exposure to the weather."

Attempted Murder in Bath,

BATH, Saturday.

This morning the usual quiet of this city was disturbed
by a desperate attempt on the part of a porter, named
Henry Bishop, to murder his wife in the street by shooting
at her, For some time past, owing, it is said, to the violent
conduct of his wife, Bishop has not lived with her; in fact,
nearly the whole of their marriage life, extending over only
about 12 months, has been exceedingly unhappy. On one
occasion the woman summoned her husband for an assault,
but that was arranged, and she subsequently went into
Wiltshire, and throwing herself upon the parish was the
cause of his being apprehended for neglecting to support
her. Although they did not live together, Bishop was re-
peatedly annoyed and dogged by his wife, who followed him
about, as usual, both on Thursday and Friday night. After
going home on Friday night he loaded a small pocket pis-
tol, which he put in his pocket. Shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning his wife met him in Cheap-street, and, renewing
her importunity, he pulled the pistol from his pocket, and
deliberately shot her. The charge took effect in the face of
the wenlan, who was taken to the hospital, and in all there
were about seventeen shot wounds ; one of her eyes was
much injured, but the case is not expert .e.l to prove fatal,
A large nutuber of people congregated through hearing the
report of the pistol and the shrielrs of the woman, but the
prisoner, as soon as he committed the act, ran to the Central
Police Station, and gave himself up to the police, Baying,
"I've been and shot my wife in Cheap-street, and (produc-
ing a pistol) this is what I did it with." He was taken
before the magistrates, who remande.d him for a week.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.---Dangerous
Illecsses.—The most marked success has so often attended
trials of these pills that no invalid should despair of obtain-
ing at least some alleviation, it not the thorough cure, of
his malady, from their purifying and strengthening ,vir-
tues. Here is the language of one who speaks conscien-
tiously from vast experience of past suffering—" Before I
took your pills I knew no moment's ease for years , my
stomach, head, and nerves kept me in continual misery ;
my appetite was gone, and digestion most infirm, both in
mind and body, I felt completely shattered. Now, I re-
joice to eay, all this is changed ; I can eat, digest, sleep,
and walk, as well as most men more robust than myself."
