STATISTICS OF DENMARK.

The income of the Danish Monarchy for the year
ending March 31, 1863, was £1,841,499, to which
Denmark contributed 62 per cent., Holstein 21.64,
Schleswig 16.36 per cent. This income more than
covered the expenditure. One half of it was pro-
duced by customs and indirect taxes, and about two
thirds of the expenditure was for the public debt
and standing army. The army cost about £466,000,
the navy £212,000, The accounts of the current
financial year were, before the invasion, estimated
at the same rate.

The Danish army on its peace footing, to ba
doubled when on war footing, is fixed by law
at 22,900 men ; but of late years the number
has, for the sake of economy, been kept down to
12,000. The Danish navy consisted, in September,
1862, of 19 sailing vessels carrying 704 guns, and
28 steamers with 340 guns, besides a paddlewheel
steam flotilla of 50 gunboats with about 100 guns.
But all these steamers were not seaworthy. Th
navy was at that time served by about 2,000.
The population of the monarchy at the census of
1860 was in Denmark Proper, omitting the mall
figures, 1,600,000 ; in Schleswig, 409,000 ; in 11011
stein, 544,000 ;in Lauenburg, 50,000. In Denmark
Proper all bat 300,000 of the population is agricull
tural.

The whole male population of Denmark Proper
is only 793,000, and of Schleswig 204,000. Oi
these it appeared by the last census that in every
thousand 495 lived exclusively by agriculture, 228
by trade and commerce (but, with no coal, and,
little water power on the soil, there is not much
manufacture) ; 107 were day-labourers, 53 were
commercial men ; 29 sailore ; 20panpers; 16 minis-
ters or schoolmasters; 15 pensioners ; 13 domestic
servants, 11 or 12 civil servants of the State ; 9
officers in the army or navy ; 9 capitalists; 7 were
devoting themselves to literature or scionec ; 5 werq
nondescripts ; and one was in jail.

The Case of Alleged Poisoning in Cornwall;

HAYLE (Cot nwall), Saturday.

lho protracted inquiry into the charge against Mr,
Richard Oke Millett, a surgeon, residing at Penpol, was re-
sumed yesterday, for the purpose of having the result of thC,
analysis of the contents of the body of the deceased.
Mr. Cornish, the magistrates' clerk, read a lengthened
report from Dr. Alfred S. Taylor.
Dr. Taylor, in another elaborate report in reference to the
probablo cause of the death of the deceased, attributed hie
demise to an attack of serious apoplexy, to which he was
predisposed by the chronic hydrocephalus (water on the
brain) under which the deceased was labouring. Dr.
Taylor further said that the symptoms, as detailed to him,
the death under the circumstances as stated, and the result
of the postmortem examination, were not consistent wall
any form of poisoning within his knowledge.
The Chairman of the Bench (the Rev. Uriah Tc
addressing the accused, said—Mr. Millett, we are ext rerucly
sorry that we have been obliged to keep you so long in cus.
tody, but, sitting here as magistrates, we had no other alter..

Mr. Millet was warmly congratulated by numerous
friends, and was accompanied to his residence by
a largo
e
concourse of persons ; and the band of th H ayle Foundry

of music.

Baron Lehmann has returned to the Brunswick
Hotel, Je.myn-street, on big way to Vienna.
MR. MACPARREN'S NEW OPERA, founded 03
Goldsmith's " She Stoops to Conquer," is advertised to

Misboding rumours state that General Garibaldi
and the King of Italy, who are in perfect accord, are so
confident of the spread of war in the spring that a descent
on the coast of Dalmatia is already arranged, for which a
celebrated English volunteer, who has before served u-Ider
Gaiibaldi, has already received his commission.
MR. EDWARD DICEY left London last week for
Scbletmig ; and his correspondence :rora the scat of war
there will, doubtless, be expected with peculiar interest in
the columns of a London morring paper by those who
know his graphic power and his fair and candid spirit us a

letters from America in /I/aorta/an and the .Spectator, and

duces a fresh complication in the relations
between the Executive end the Legislativo
Powers. On the occasion of a bill for the re-orgai
nisation of the gendarmery, the Assembly decreed
by a simple amendment the institution of a Nationn I
Guard, the command and disposal of which it con-
ferred on itself cc a counterpoise to tho too absolute
devotedness of the regular army to the chief of
the State. This is considered a flagrant outrage
on the essential principlo of the separation of
rowers, and a manifest encroachment on the com,ti.,
tutional authority of the Prince.
