LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 15, 1864.

It is a melancholy task to peruse the address
of the deputation of Schleswigers who waited upon
King CHRISTIAN, but it is not unsuitable to cast
a glance at the relative position of the respective
parties. The year which is about to close has
seen many changes in the affairs of Denmark and
her Duchies, but it is satisfactory to mark that
some ttibuto of respect has been paid to the KING,
and that his Majesty has replied to it in a fitting
strain. Such a display of good feeling and kindly
wishes was creditable to both sides, and no doubt
a pleasing recollection of this interchange of regrets
and sympathies will hereafter be a consolation for
both sides to look back upon. In simple and
yet emphatic language the Danish inhabitants of
Schleswig declared their opinions on the sad and
serious occurrences that have befallen them. They
begin with expressing their grief at the reception
of the KING'S farewell, and then go on to deplore
the calamitous circumstances which compel their
alienation frort the ancient rule. These words
ought to make all the authorities in Prussia and
Austria ashamed of thetnselves—or if that be im-
possible' it is to be hoped that they will regret
that they are given forth to the world, that other
nations may descant upon their sad significance
and solemn warning. g. " The force cf circumstances
s separated those who have been united for
centuries; brothers have been torn from brothers;
your Majesty's Crown has lost a
jewel,
the preservation of which has cost torrents
of blood." Surely this passage, in its comprehen-
siveness and clearness, exactly defines the state of
the case as it at present stands in regard to this
sed affair of the Dano-German war. Of course, the
d-putation was precluied from giving vent to those
feline which must have burned within them at
the wrongs and injuries to which they had been
exposed ; but sometimes the force of such senti.
meats are better expressed by silence. The world
knows who is respon3ib:e for the circumstances"
that have drawn down the calamity referred to,

rIONHERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

The probability that a stimulus will be given to trade
through the reduction effected yesterday in the rate of
discount has brought out an additional supply of bills.
The Money Market is now well supplied with capital, and
there appears to be little doubt that the commercial com-
munity will, as soon as the accounts for the whole
Year are completed, be induced to enter into larger
traaeactiens than recently. Of late business has been
circumscribed in consequence of the prudence generally
observed by all classes during the recent pressure and
stringency. The future course of affairs is now regarded
Ilith less anxiety, and as money becomes cheaper people
Will be more inclined to extend their connections.
At present the usual ac ive inquiry for accommodation,
together with the revenue payments, enab!e 6iscountere to
ash full rates for the assistance they grant, and 61 6 per
cent. are the general quotations fur the best bills of three
months' date.

The return issued from the Bank of England shows that
the establishment had undergone some very favourable
ellan,ges. Tho bullion and reserve of notes have been aug-
tented, while the discount business has been considerably
reduced. Subjoined are the particulars :

820,000. The discounts show an augmentation of
4784,000; the notes in circulation £180,000; and the

BLOUNT TEMPEST.
By the BEN,. J. C. M. BELLEW.
" ' Blount Tempest' is a remarkably clever novel, tho-
roughly original, a d independent of any fashion, school, or
class. The reader will acknowledge that no nobler lesson
was ever taught from pulpit or altar step than the author
teaches in this beautiful story. In the flowing ease of the
style, the richness of the language, the facility of the illus-
trative digressions, the reader is almost .ed away from re-
marking the variety of the incidents, and the ingenious com-
plications of the plot. There is much dignity and purity in
the sketches of female character. 'I he heroine, Mabel Massey,
is a charming creature "—Morning Post.

THAMES,

CAUTION TO RUFFIANS.—Edward Downey, a very
rough-looking fellow, aged 31, of No. 37, Devonshire-place,
St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr Partridge
charged with being drunk and disorderly inside the Blud
Posts publichouse, in the West India-road, Limehouse, and
refusing to leave when requested by Mr Charles R, Balls,
the landlord.

This was a proceeding under a recent Act of Parliament
relating to houses of public entertainment. The prisoner
entered the Blue Posts last evening, at half-past 5 o'clock
and demanded refreshment. Mr Balls refused to serve him
and told him he had been forbidden the house in conse-
quence of his (prisoner's) riotous conduct in the house. The
prisoner refused to leave the house, and made a great dis-
turbance. He abused Mr Balls, and made a great dis-
turbance. He was ordered to leave the house, and on his
refusal Cawse, a constable, was sent for, who took the pri.
Boner into custody. The prisoner was very turbulent, and
interrupted the business of the public house.
The prisoner said he had been at work in a corn vessel
yesterday, and did 50 quarters. He went with his work-
mates to the Blue Posts to settle their wages and accounts,
and after they had 7 or 8 pots of porter he wanted another
pot, and the landlord refused to serve him.

Mr Balls said he would not supply the prisoner with
any thing, drunk or sober, and that he was the terror of
the household. '

Mr Partridge said the landlord was quite justified in
what he had done. The proprietors of public houses and
their servants had no right, and were not bound to serve,
drunken and disorderly customers. Every person miscon-
ducting himself in a publichouse and not leaving when
requested, was liable to a fine. lie sentenced the prisoner
to pay a penalty of 40s or be iwprisoned 21days.
The prisoner was committed.

tion you speak of in October, 1862. Don't state it in general
terms, but tell the facts that you say occurred, and which
you are pleased to call attempts or overtures.
Miss Travers—l think it was in November, 1862, that
Mr Wilde wanted me to go into 'another part of the room
(after a pause), and I refused, and he thought to drag me,
and in dragging me he hurt me ; and when I prevented him
he said I had not faith and confidence in him, and that I
did nothing he told me.
The Chief Justice—Did he say anything on that occa-
sion F.—Ea said nothing.. The other occasion was in the
July following.
The Chief Justice—What was the other occasion 1)—I
was in an arm chair. He caught hold of my hand and forced
me back to sit down in it, and said ho would not let me go
until I said whether I !eyed him or not. Ho said that if I
said I loved him he would let me go ; and I answered,
"Yes, I love you very much; you will one day know how
much I love you." He turned round and looked at me and
said, "I was going to say you were very good, but you
finished it—you tacked a word there that makes me think
yeu meant ironically," or something to that effect. In
forcibg me into the chair he bruised my finger.
Sergeant Armstrong--There was no improper occurrence
between you then P—No.

The re-examination was understood to have been con-
cluded when the Court rose.

Du LINE Thursday Night.

To-day Miss Travers proved the receipt of the letter con •
taining the alleged libel. The plaintiff was not cross Sex-
amined, and this closed her case,
Sergeant Sullivan, for the defendant, insisted that whether
the plaintiff was justified in the imputation she had written
agai:st Sir Wm. Wilde was foreign to the issue involved,
and he would not suffer his client to enter upon any investi-
gation of the concocted charges. He dwelt upon the dis-
parity between the statements in the pamphlet and the viva
Voce evidence ; upon the fact that no alarm had been given ;
that the plaintiff had gone back to the same house and into
the same study wherein it was said the offence had been
perpetrated; and that she had solicited, demanded, and
accepted money subsequent to the alleged outrage. The
tine interpretation of Miss Travers's conduct and assertions
was that she was not accountable for her actions.
Lady Wilde was examined—She said that she had
offended the plaintiff by refusing to see her, and herrevenge
was the consequence. She thought that plaintiff's intention
was to set up the supposition of an intrigue. She (Lady
Wilde) did not believe that any such Mich intercourse had
ev. r taken place. She had written the letter which had
been called a libel in good faith.
The case is still proceeding.

WESTMINSTER.

DEXTEROUS ROBBERY FROM A CART.—John Mahain,
16, was charged with stealing a portmanteau, containing
boots and shoes, value £9, from a cart in Tachbrook-street,

Pimlico.

Mr Thomas Hooker, boot and shoe manufacturer, of 14,
Church-street, Bethnal-green, said that at 5 o'clock yester-
day evening he was at the shop of Mr Eastgate, boot
maker, 10, Upper Tachbrook-street, Pimlico, and left his
cart outside, containing samples of boots and a portmanteau.
He heard an alarm, and ascertained that a portmanteau had
been taken from his cart. Mr Eastgate and his shoprnan
went one way and witness drove another. Mr Eastgate
caught the prisoner and brought him to the station.

Mr Thomas Eastgate, 10, Upper Tackbrook..street, said
he heard an alarm, and proceeded down St. Leonard street.
He saw about GO yards in front of him prisoner and two
other men walking. Prisoner had a bundle on his shoulder,
and as witness approached he saw it was the portmanteau
which had beon stolen. Prisoner's companion spoke to
him, and he crossed over the road, and witness running up
collared him. The other had just before hollowed out, and
this caused prisoner to turn round. Seeing witness, he im.
rnediately dropped the bag between them and ran away.
Witness picked up the carpet-bag, and the shopman pur-
sued him, while he took the bag to a shop for safety. He
lost sight of prisoner, but as the shopman pursued him he
turned up the same street as he had run down, and witness
and his shopman caught him together. He said he knew
nothing about it, and said he would
,pay for a cab to the
station, where he was taken.

Constable Saunders, 99 B, proved being at the station at
the time, and that prisoner ref used his address,
Prisoner, who had a very gentlemanly demeanour about
him, said he did not wish to disgrace his parents, but now
gave his address as 40, Union-street, Huston Old Town.
He was remanded.

SUIT,
London, England, 1864-12-16

Court of Common Council,

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday in the
Council Chambers, tho Right Hon, the Lord Mayor pre-
siding.

THE COAL DUTIES DRAWBACK FUND.

Mr CHArLisr, the chairman of the Uity Lands Com-
mittee, said he wished to draw the attention of the Court to
a matter of some importance. and in doing so he should ask
permission to ask the Chamberlain a question. Mr Chaplin
was about to preface his question with some remarks in re-
ference to the coal duties ; but
The LORD MAYOR ruled that the rules of the Court
would not permit a speech that might provoke a discussion.
Mr LOWMAN TAYLOR thought, although he might agree
wi.h Mr Chaplin in the views he entertained, it would be
better to give a notice of motion upon the subject.
Mr CHAPLIN, however, preferred to put the question—
and asked the Chamberlain whether the Coal Duties Draw-
qack Fund, which was under the control of the Coal, Coro,
and Finance Committer, could be applied to any other
purposes than those in connection with the drawback fund.

Mr PARKER said the question was entirely a legal ques-
tion, and one which the Chamberlain could not and ought
not to answer,

Mr CuArmic said if the matter was to be shrouded in
so much mystery, he should think the funds were really
not used for their proper purposes.

Upon the suggestion of the LORD MAYOR, Mr CHAPLIN
gave the following notice of motion :—" That the chair-
man of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee do send to
the Chamberlain's office. before the next Court, a detailed
account, with the vouchers of expenditure and charges
made in the Coal Duties Drawback Fund for the years
1862-3-4, and in future no accounts be paid by the Cham-
berlain unless accompanied with proper warrants."

DENIER ARA.

The directors in their report announce that all
difficulties had been overcome, and that on the 31st
of August the railway was opened throughout
to Mahaica by his Excellency the Governor of
British Guinea, in the presence of the members of the
Court of Policy and many other influential residents
in the colony. The conditions upon which the
colonial mortgage was to be cancelled having, there.
fore, been fulfilled, the entire cost of the railway to
the present shareholders would not exceed the
£250,000 originally proposed as the capital of the
company. The traffic returns were highly satisfac-
tory, there had been a very marked increase in the
number of passengers, and it was expected that
when the crop was again in progress the receipts
for goods would also exhibit considerable improve.
ment. The balance en revenue account was £4,685,
out of which the directors proposed a payment of
£2,600, the preference dividend on capital applicable
to the old line, and of £1,689, a dividend at the rate
of 2i per cent per annum on the original stock,
leaving a balance of £395. The total expense of
the extension had rather exceeded the first esti-
mate, but the issue of the £5,000 reserved prefer-
ence stock would provide all the funds rcquired for
the undertaking, including the cost of the two new
locomotives. Prior to the opening of the extension
line the Government Coloniel Engineer reported
that he had inspected the remaining portion of the
Demerara Railway from the Clonbrook station to
the terminus at MuNuito.hall, and that it could be
used for traffic with perfect safety ; that the large
bridge across the Mahaica Canal did great credit to
the designer and the workmen who erected it ; and
that the permanent way was c'rx,pleted to within
a few yards of the Creek. The revenue account for
the half.year ending the 30th of Jura) showed that
£9,710 had been received, and £5,081 expended,
leaving a balance of £4,629.

WEST FLANDERS.

The directors state in their report that the re-
ceipts for the six months ending the 30th of June
last exceeded those for the corresponding period of
1863 by £2.611. The sum available for dividend
was £5,961, out of which the directors proposed to
declare a dividend of 4s. per share, leaving a balance
of £609. The definitive shares would very shortly
be ready, and by their issue the directors expected
to discover with accuracy how many shares might
have been issued in excess of the number autho-
riaed by statute. Mr. Hutt, the accountant, re-
ported that the number so issued might amount
possibly to 249. The directors had already pur-
chased and cancelled 101 shares, leaving 148 which
might possibly have to be purchased hereafter.
Those shares, with the sum of .£1,655 which still
remained to be arranged in the books, represented
the extreme limits of the company's possible liabi-
lities, to meet which the directors held 278 prefe-
rence shares, which they had not yet thought it
prudent to dispose of. The convention between the
West Flanders Company and the Societe de Tubize
had received the Royal assent, and would come
into operation on the Ist of January next. The
directors had received estimates for the construc-
tion of the proposed extension lines from Routers to
Ypres and from Poperinghe to Hazebrouck, which
had been duly referred to the company's engineer
to report upon. The capital account showed that
£599,093 had been expended. The traffic account
for the half-year ending the 30th of June showed
that £27,420 had been received, and £17,098 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £10,322.

receipts for the 28 weeks averaged £49 per mile per
