COPENHAGEN, DEC. 7.
The Dagbladet of to-day announces the arrival of
the King at Kolding last evening.

The same paper asserts that several thousand in •
habitants of Schleswig wanted to proceed thither
to render homage to the King. This was forbidden
by the authorities, and several arrests had in conse.
quince taken place.

FRANCE.

PARIS, DEC. 7.

The Court of Correctional Appeal delivered
judgment to-day in the case of the thirteen deputies
accused of holding illegal meetings.

It confirmed the sentence pronounced by the
Tribunal of First Instance.

A letter from Modena, in the Union, has the sub-
joined :—" An ingenious expedient was imagined
hero by the Municipal Council to obtain the means
of paying by anticipation the land tax for 1865.
An extraordinary impost of 23f. per head was
levied on all the cattle brought to market. The
measure was no doubt excellent, for the country
people would have furnished the funds, and the
city would have received six per cent. discount,
while the landowners in return would have to
pay an interest of the same amount. Unfortu-
nately for the council an unforeseen result has oc-
curred—the markets remain deserted, as neither
peasants nor cattle were to bo seen. That extra-
ordinary contribution had therefore to be aban-
doned. How will the Municipal Council now keep
its engagements with M. Sella ? That is the ques.
Lion. Many other towns are or soon will be in the
same situation as Modena. What will then
happen ? A Turin journal announces with an air
of triumph that the Treasury has already received
more than 600,000 f. This is something indeed ;
but 124,000,000 f, are required before the 15th!"
BOURSE, Dec. 6.—Tne market has not been
very animated but firm, and Threes, for the Ac•
count, have slightly improved, being now at 65f 95c.
Mobilier also shows an advance, and is now quoted
at 992 f 50c. R iilway Market quiet, but with pre-

MEDALS FOR SAVING LIFE FROM
—Mr Lewis, the secretary of the National Lif°ls°-si

which that society has promptly voted to Mr L. nYrfeef
chief officer of Coast Guard, Tynemouth, "in testimoo/

This is ono of the most chaste medals that has ever
brought under our notice. The beautiful obverse, which of
been executed by L. C. Wyon, Esq., represents the 1-o,j
Queen Victoria, her Mejesty's locks gracefully waving o{
gathered in a knot behind, from which issues a Wrea-t
oak clustering over the forehead. This life-like peftr%ol
the Queen, in high relief, conveys a truly pleasing 4,,
faithful likeness of her Majesty as at that period °f 001
combining dignity of aspect and benevolence of new" ;0
is represented by Mr Wyon with the most exquisite
delicacy, and beauty of workmanship, The reserve, re.,,,V

of the sailors are steadying the boat; the other, stooYl
draws in the shipwrecked sailor, whose figure is giseßs,°,lol

the finest taste to arrange it, and a command of the gii.4l

shadowed out to himself. But there is another pleafita

MURDER NEAR ABERDEEN.—A shockil3gt. 00

tiOIdiUZIICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
,L dgeided and favourable change has come over
.1"e aspect of monetary affairs. Where stringency
before prevailed, there reigns now comparative
easiness. This alteration has been due to the ces.
Bition in the shipments of gold and silver to the
Continent, and the knowledge that some large con-
elginents for this country are on their way from
America. The discount houses have therefore at
once evinced a laudable readiness to afford the com-
,ll"cial public monetary facilities directly they be.
'laved that less uncertainty regarding the future
existed. First class bills have therefore been nego.
!late(' to-day at 61 I per cent., showing within 24
hours a reduction of about f, per cent. in favour of
trade.

The report of the Crystal Palace Company,
Just issued, shows ka balance in favour of re-
venue of £52,550 98. 4d. After payment of all
Preferable charges there remains at the credit of the
general revenue account the sum of £20,812 ss. 3d.
available for division among the proprietors of
Ordinary capital. Out of this account the directors
Ileuultnend the payment of a dividend of 2 per
c!nt. (2s. per share), which will leave a balance of
4 108 15s. 3d to be carried forward.
There were no bullion operations of importance
EA the Bank yesterday.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was a slight tendency to advance, bills being
Iu less demand.

At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the African
Steamship Company, the report stated that, after
Paying all charges, there remained a balance to the
credit of revenue account of £4,731 13i 9d, out of
Which the directors recommended the payment of
the usual dividend of 8s per share, free of income
tax, for the half•year ending 31st October last. This
Payment would absorb £4,403 4s and leave £328
94 91 to be carried forward to next half-year's
account.

The same causes which have led to the easier
condition of the Money Market have likewise
affected the quotations at the Stock Exchange. A
*al and buoyant tone was everywhere apparent
during the earlier hours, and a rise of / per cent.
lees was recorded in the English Funds. Some
few sales to realise profits have, however, left
Prices where they stood at the improvement of last
evening. Consols, less the dividend, were 891 for
„,lccney, and 891 for the January account. The New
