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 be
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. The
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 small
figures, 1,600,000 ; in Schleswig, 409,000 ; in Hol-
stein, 544,000 ;in Lauenburg, 50,000. In Denmark
Proper all but 300,000 of the population is agricul-
tural.

The whole mate population of Denmark Proper
is only 793,000, and of Schleswig 204,000. Of
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) ; 187 were day-labourers, 53 were
commercial men ; 29 sailore ; 20 paupers; 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 science; 6 were
nondescripts ; and one was in jail.

The Case of Alleged Poisoning in Cornwall.

HAYLE (Cornwall), Saturday.

lhe 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 the
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 anther elaborate report in reference to the
probable cause of the death of the deceased, attributed his
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 post• mortem examination, were not consistent with
any form of poisoning within his knowledge.
The Chairman of the Bench (the Rev. Uriah Tonkin),
addressing the accused, said—Mr. Millett, we are extremely
sorry that we have been obliged to keep you so long in cus-
tody, but, sitting here as magistrates, we had no other alter-
native. lam now very happy in having to say, Mr. Mul-
lett, as the organ of the Bench, that you are released from
all further custody ; and having investigated the case most
minutely, and, I am sure, most fairly, and with the stricteso
anxiety to do justice, we have no longer anything to d
with the matter but to say that we are extremely happy
that you are released from this charge.
Mr. Millet was warmly congratulated by numerous
friends, and was accompanied to his residence by a large
concourse of persons; and the band of the Hayle Foundry..
men, to which establishment he was surgeon, met in the
evening in front of his house and performed various pieces
of music.
