THE DANISH QUESTION.

Lord PAL NIERS roN appealed to Mr. B. Osborne not
to bring forward his motion respecting the Danish question
which stood for this (Friday) evening, on the ground that,
in the present pisitien of the negotiations, the discussion
would be very injurious to the public service.
Mr. B. OSBORNE at first declined to do so, and said

that he would leave the matter in the hands of the house
bat, after some remarks from Mr. Disraeli and Lord Pal
mer,ton, the hon. gentleman consented to withdraw his
motion.

The Warehousing. of Briish Spirits Bill was passed
through committee pro forma, and the remainder of the
business having been disposed of,
The house adjourned at ten minutes to two o'clock.

Benevolent Society of St, Patrick.

Yesterday being St. Patrick's Day, the Slat anniversary
festival of this society was celebrated at the Freemasons'
Tavern, Great Qaeen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, under the
presidency of Major-General Viscount Templetown, C.B.
The attendance was not so numerous as it was wont to be
in years gone by, and the enthusiasm which was awakened
during the evening was not of such a character as to lead to
the belief that the majority of the company were true sons
of the Hibernian soil. The shamrock was not so conspi-
cuous as is usual on this occasion, and the general feeling
of nationality did not display itself in those outbursts of
patriotism which are generally associated with gatherings
of the Knights of St. Patrick. The benevolent object of
the meeting, however, was never lost sight of, and when the
girls and boys who are receiving their education in the
schools made their appearance, according to custom, they
were greeted in a manner which showed that they were
surrounded by some of their bast friends. The guests at the
principal table included the Earl of Courtown, Sir H. H.
Bruce, Bart., M.P., General Down, Mr, Morgan John
O'Connell, Mr. Hamilton Geale, Mr. C. M‘Garel, Mr. W•
Newton, Mr. C. Latouche, Dr. O'Connor, &c. The chair-
man, in giving the toast of the evening, made an earnest
appeal to the company on behalf of the society, and a report
presented from the sub-committee, which showed that the
schools continue full to their utmost capacity, and, as in
former years, the 500 children they contain have been edu-
cated and clothed, and during the winter months provided
with a daily meal at the society's expense. This latter is
an additional boon which has only been conferred of late
years, and it is ono which has proved most beneficial to the
recipients, many of whom depend in great measure on the
meal they receive in these schools. In so large an est ib-
lishment, however, this measure necessarily involves a very
considerable increase in the expenditure of the charity;
but the sub -committee relied with confidence on the
liberality of their supporters, conscious as they were of the
endeavours which the society continued to make ro improve
the condition of the labouring Irish population of this city.
The subscriptions announced by the secretary, after due
h flour had been done to the toasts which bore more par-
ticularly upon the interests of the society, amounted to
about LGOO. _ _ _

Toe musical arrangements wore under the able direction
of Mr. Land, who had secured the assistance of several
members of the London Glee and Madrigal Union, repre-
sented by Miss Eylcs, Miss J, Wells, Mr, W. Cummings,
and Mr. Winn.
In the course of the evening the band of the Irish Volun-
teer Rifles performeu a variety of national airs under the
superintendence of Mr. Cowen, and the majority of the
songs sung by Mr. Land's corps of vocalists were either
Irish melodies or were based upon subject 4 suggested by
Irish traditions.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE BILL.

Mr, HANKEY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
with reference to his proposed insurance of lives in c mnec-
tion with the savings banks, to state what is the amount of
single premium proposed to be charged on the Insurance
of £lOO cn lives of the following ages, namely, 20, 30,
40, 50; and also the annual premium to be charged for
insurance of 1.00 on lives of the same ages ; and whether
he would lay upon the table of the house a paper giving the
above information ?

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER said this
was a question of great difficulty, but not impracticable,
and would require the assistance of eminent actuaries as
wall as those employed by Government.

AQUATICS.—(This Dap,)

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-
OARED MATCH.

PUTNEY, Friday Morning.

The railway brought down a number of people this
morning, anxious to learn the full influence of the
Oxonnians' rowing against the waternaen yesterday over
the money market, and to pick up any other scrap of in-
formation that might lead their conclusions to a successful
issue. The eff,et of the Oxonians' pulling yesterday was
marked and unmistakeable this morning, the betting being
6 and 7t04 on Oxford. The public were justified more
than they might have expected to be, for they saw both
crews under weigh again this morning, sometimes
rowing fast and sometimes rowing slow. The Can-
tabs particularly gave a lull opportunity for seeing what
they could do as they came from Symond's-yard down to
the acqeduct-bridge, and then round up to Hatiamersmi:h-
bridge, and severally pulling very smartly, and keeping nics
time. The Oxonians went ahead towards Hammersmith-
bridge at once, and son swung into their usual style of
rowing, keeping an uniform motion in the boat fore and aft.
Judging from close observation of their going off through-
out the week, we should think it probable that whatever
may be the result the Cantabs will take the lead at start-
ing to-morrow, when the result of the hard labours of both
parties will appear in their rowing,

PUTNEY, Thursday, Half-past Two r.M.

The trial between the watermen and the Oxford crew is
just over. It has astonished all beholders. The watermen
have been thoroughly well beaten. Ytsterday the Cam-
bridge certainly beat them after a very arduous struggle,
but there has been no such exertion to-day on the part of
the Oxford crew. They went right away from the water-
men after a few pulls, and then waiting for them, did the
same thing again and again. As the watermen may fairly
have been considered in better order to-day than they
were yesterday, people wondered, and the watermen them-
selves, who had thought Cambridge good, wondered also.
Betting directly went up to 7 to 4 on Oxford.

tion indeed, and the Lord Chancellor had very great doubts
as to whether this emit had any power to discharge a
person who was in custody under a Judge's order.
Mr. Sargood said that the Court of Common Pleas had
been applied to, and they thought tbis was the proper
court to apply to.
His Honour said that at all events the case could not be
argued to-day, and he thought the application ought to
come before the court on motion supported by affidavit, and
with four days' notice. He thought that in such casts the
rule ought to be strictly applied.
Mr. Sargood said that ha did not consider that in every
case an affilavit was neceesary.
His Honour said this was not an ordinary case, and re-
reared that the Lord Chancellor more than doubted whe•
ther this Court had power to interfere.

Mr. Sargool said he would be glad to take his Honour's
refusal on that point, and then they would go before the
Lord Chancellor and take hia opinion on that point.
His Honour said he would not deeide then, and he should
like the case to go before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, who
h.td made the original order. He asked what was the real
point of the investigation ?
Mr. Sargood said that it was to reduce the amount of
bail.

After some further discussion the case was adjourned
until Tuesday, when the application will be renewed before
Mr. Cumrnissioner Holroyd.
Mr. Lewis then applied that a sum of £1,228, which had
been in court a long time, should now oe applied to a dis,i-
dend, but the question was uttimately ordered to stand
over.

COLONIAL.

TEA, —At the public sales tull rates have be.n obtained
for fine qualities of cougous and greens; about 16,500 pack-
ages were ofru-ed, of which 8,000 were sold.
SUGAR.—Busitp ss has continued quiet, and prices have
not varied to any important extent. In the refined marxet
quotations have exhibited little or no change ot importance.
COFVEE.—The dealings in colonial have been to an ave-
rage extent, and both native and plantation Ceylon realised
former prices

RICE.—A fair inquiry for Rat India, but the high rates
demanded by holders has in some measure disturbed ope-
ras ions.

FRUlT.—Currants have been in fair demand, and for
raisins, figs, and other descriptions there has been a fair
inquiry at late prices.

The Pit Inundation at Chesterfield.

CHESTERFIELD, Thursday.

At four o'clock this morning the water had been
eo much reduced that a number of men were able to
enter the workings. They succeeded in rescuing
eight of the men. At noon they proceeded further
into the pit and rescued the remaining four. Beyond
a, little weakness from want of food the men and
boys appear to have suffered little from their incar-
ceration. One of the bays made his appearance at
the top of the pit this afternoon, and looked on as
thoush nothing had occurred.

THE ROYAL BABY is stated to have borne the
bilainess of the christening remarkably well ; bur
the natu- 11 curiosity of the populace to set eyes upon a
child who has been so much talked about, and whose name
and personal qualities have supplied the theme for so much
conversation, was doomed to disappointment, On the
morning of the ceremony the little Prince was quietly
smuggled from Marlborough House to Buckingham Palace,
and by the same conveyance—whatever that may have been
—was taken back again, greatly to the disgust of a very
large concourse which had assembled in St. James's Park
to behold him on his way. Those who have had the good
fortune to see Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward of
Wales, report of him that he is a charming baby, though a
trifle+ inclining to tiny,—The Court Chronicle.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our mirke's to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small. Both red and whirs) qualities met, how-
ever, a slow sale, at Monday's currency.
With foreign wheat, the market was but moderately sup-
plied, the transactions were, for the most part, of retail
character; nevertheless, prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in bat moderate request,
at late rates.

The supply of barley on the stands was moderately large.
Sales, generally speaking, progressed slowly, yet prices ruled
stationary.
Malt sold slowly, at late rates.

The supply of oats on sale was somewhat extensive. The
trade was dull for all qualities, and prices hed a downward
tendency.
For beans and peas the trade was in a sluggish state, at
fully the late decline in the currency.
Flour changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates.

Benevolent Society of St, Patrick,

Yesterday being St. Patrick's Day, the 81st anniversary
festival of this society was celebrated at the Freemasons'
Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, under the
presidency of Major-General Viscount Templetown, C.B.
The attendance was not so numerous as it was wont to be
in years gone by, and the enthusiasm which was awakened
during the evening was not of such a character as to lead to
the belief that the majority of the company were true sons
of the Hibernian soil. The shamrock was not so conspi-
cuous as is usual on this occasion, and the general feeling
of nationality did not display itself in those outbursts of
patriotism which are generally associated with gatherings
of the Knights of St. Patrick. The benevolent object of
the meeting, however, was never lost sight of, and when the
girls and boys who are receiving their education in the
schools made their appearance, according to custom, they
were greeted in a manner which showed that they were
surrounded by some of their best friends. The guests at the
principal table included the Earl of Courtown, Sir H. H.
Bruce, Bart., M.P., General Down, Mr, Morgan John
O'Connell, Mr. Hamilton Geale, Mr. C. M‘Garel, Mr. W.
Newton, Mr. C. Latouche, Dr. O'Connor, See. The chair-
man, in giving the toast of the evening, made an earnest
appeal to the company on behalf of the society, and a report
presented from the sub-committee, which showed that the
schools continue full to their utmost capacity, and, as in
former years, the 500 children they contain have been edu-
cated and clothed, and ,during the winter months provided
with a daily meal at the society's expense. This latter is
an additional boon which has only been conferred of late
years, and it is one which has proved most beneficial to the
recipients, many of whom depend in great measure on the
meal they receive in these schools. In eo large an estab-
lishment, however, this measure necessarily involves a very
considerable increase in the expenditure of the charity;
but the sub-committee relied with confidence on the
liberality of their supporters, conscious as they were of the
endeavours which the society continued to make to improve
the coadition of the labouring Inch population of this city.
The subscripti,ns announced by the secretary, after duo
honour had been done to the toasts which bore more par-
ticulerly upon the interests of the society, amounted to
about L6OO.

Tae musical arrangements were under the able direction
of Mr. Land, µ•h had secured the assistance of several
members of the L'radon ilea and Madrigal Union, repre-
sented by Miss Eyles, Miss J, Wells, Mr, W. Cummings,
and Mr. Winn.
In the course of the evening the band of the Irish Volun
teer Rifles performed a varieiy of national airs under the
sunerintendence of Mr. Cowen, and the majority of the
songs sung by Mr. Land's corps of v ,calists wore either
Irish melodies or were based ulion subjects suggested by
tradition',

The Pit Inundation at Chesterfield.

CHESTERFIELD, Thursday,

At four o'clock this morning the water had been
so much reduced that a number of men were able to
enter the workings. They succeeded in rescuing
eight of the men. At noon they proceeded further
into the pit and rescued the remaining four. Beyond
a little weakness from want of food the men and
boys appear to have suffered little from their incar-
ceration. One of the bays made his appearance at
the top of the pit this afternoon, and looked on as
though nothing bad occurred.

THE ROYAL BABY is stated to have borne the
business of the christening remarkably well ; but
the natural curiosity of the populace to set eyes upon a
child who has been so much talked about, and whose name
and personal qualities have supplit d the theme for so much
conversation, was doomed. to disappointment. On the
morning of the ceremony the little Prince was quietly
smuggled from Marlborough House to Buckingham Palace,
and by the same conveyance—whatever that may have been
—was taken back again, greatly to the disgust of a very
large concourse which had assembled in St. James's • t'ark
to behold him on his way. Those who have had the good
fortune to see Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward of
Wales, repoft of him that he is a charming baby, though a

LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1864.

The Government is certainly acquiring for itself
a most enviable character ! Abroad, it is treated
alternately with insult and with ridicule. At
home, as a rule, if a Liberal constituency is ap-
pealed to, it answers the appeal by returning a
Conservative. The Foreign Policy of the Cabinet
is a complete enigma. Its diplomatic interposition
is every where powerless in its results, and is,
besides that, everywhere regarded with jealousy
and suspicion. Parliamentary Reform, which the
Ministry was expressly formed to carry out, has,
by this very Ministry, been completely shelved for
the time being. What Ministers are in office for,
except it be selfishly to enjoy the sweets of
power, place, and patronage, together with all
the perquisites, pecuniary and otherwise,
appertaining to our administrators, is fairly
incomprehensible. They are not there as Reformers.
They care not twopence for Reform. Even Lord
RUSSELL, now that he had his blue ribbon and his

Earl's coronet, has stopped shedding tears for it.
Instead of that—now that he •as a K.O. and an
Earl—he tells us complacently to "Rest and be
thankful !" Ard, looking to his colleague, what
are some among the charming ministerial spectacles
presented to our observation ? Why, just for a
moment, let us enumerate a few of them. W© have
a Leader of the House of Commons—as proof of
what we are going here to say, we have only to look
to the proceedings in the House last evening—we
have a Leader of the House of Commons who
if he cannot exactly be said to "forget himseif," at
any rate so far forgets.his own privileges, responsi-
bilities, duties even, we may say, as Leader, that he
has to be reminded of them by the Leader of the
Opposition ! Insomuch that Mr. DISRAELI is actu-
ally constrained, as Leader of the Opposition, to
vindicate the privileges of the Leader of the present
Government. Lord PALMERSTON, thereupon, but

not until 'then, doing, at the instigation of Mr.
DISRAELI, what the noble lord (cow nearly, it is
true, eighty years of age, and therefore perhaps a
little oblivious), had said only a few minutes previ-
Dusty that he couldn't do. We have a Chancellor
of the Es:c:acqaer who can indulge by wholesale
and by retail in personalities so gross that, (is the

WARWICK SPRING MEETING.-THURSDAY.

A much larger attendance of the elite of the county and
fashionables from Leamington graced the course with their
presence to-day, the favourable change in the weather draw-
ing the ladies from their firesides, making the sombre-
looking Stand gay with fair faces and bright colours.
The Debdale Stakes, for bunters, was deemed a certainty
for Margery; but she could not stay, and had to succumb to
Bayonet, who was unfortunate in his race at Rugby, but
ran stoutly here. The Two .yr-old Stakes brought together
the largest field cf the day, 14 facing the, starter for this
event. Wonderful to relate they got away with considerably
less than the usual number of failures, and Vision rushing to
the fi,ent was never headed, and won with extreme ease, the
favourite, Jezebel, with Grappler and Jarik Ketch being the
only ones near her. The Great Warwickshire Handicap is
a race easily described, for Sweet Willie, taking the lead,
was never headed, and though the favourite looked well on
entering the straight, he died away at the stand, and Mr.
Saxon's horse went in a winner by a length. Damascus
followed suit in the next race for the Walton Handicap,
making all the running with ,U.her in attendance, who tried
to reach the leader at the distance, but failing was beaten
by half a length. The favourite, Tailor, was never in the
race, which, indeed, was reduced to a match between the
two above-named. There was a fine set-to between Bird-
finder and Liston for the £5O Plate, which was decided in
favour of the latter by a neck. The Hurdle Race, though
well coloured on the card, only brought four starters to the
post, but afforded good contest between Stanton and Marble
Hill, Lord Uxbridge's horse landing the stakes for his owner
by a neck.

It is proposed to construct this railway, with a
guaranteed capital of £1,000,000. The guarantee
is 7 per cent. from the National Government at
Buenos Ayres. The line is to ba constructed by
Messrs. Brassey, Wythes, and Wheelwright, who,

it appears, are to undertake its completion in every
respect for £5,400 per mile. It passes almost for its
entire length of 247 miles over a dead level, and its
working expenses are expected to be low. It is to
commence at the port of Rosario, on the river Plate;
and terminate at the city of Cordova, reputed to be
one of the most healthy in the world. In addition
to the 7 per cent. guarantee, the Government are
to make a free gift of land on each side of the line,
half of which will belong to the shareholders, the
other half being taken by the contractors.

The lastaccount of the death of an European King
was followed so rapidly and so startlingly by all
sorts of diplomatic complications, eventually even
by vier (thy war now in progress upon the soil of
Der/mark) that it is not without a qualm that the

mated the denalse of the Bavarian King MAximt-

previous day's telegram indicating the dangerous
malady by which the late monarch was known to
have been suddenly prostrated, the consternation
said by the telegram of Wednesday to have then
prevailed among the Bavarians, it should be
remembered at cnce, had no significance whatever.
