Germany and Denmark,

A letter from Berlin, dated the 31st ult., gives
some details respecting the Treaty of Peace re•
cently signed between the German Powers and
Denmark. It says—
I am enabled to send you some details respecting the
document signed yesterday at Vienna between the Pleni-
potentiaries of Denmark on the one hand and those of Prus-
sia and Austria on the other. The Treaty of Peace consists
of 24 articles and some annexes.

The first article simply reproduces the corresponding
article of the peace preliminaries. The King of Denmark
cedes all his rights over Schleswig-Holstein and Lauen-
burg in favour of the King of Prussia and the Emperor of
Austria.

As an equivalent of the Jutland territory of Mogelhon.
dern, the island of Arorom, and the Jutland portions of the
islands of Foehr, Sylt, and Roemse, and which Den.
mark has ceded to the Duchies, a portion of Northern
Schleswig has been left to Denmark. The peninsula of
Stenderup, which is situate opposite Fionia, is comprised in
the Danish Schleswig.
Ia granting this compensation fur the Jutland enclaves—
a compensation which was eagerly desired by Denmark on
account of the strategical position of the ceded territory
the German Powers have wished to prove that the separa-
tion of Schleswig from tho Danish territory was not a first
stop towards the dismemberment of Denmark. On the other
hand, the Treaty of Peace does not contain any stipulation
of a nature to guarantee the language of the Danish popu,
latioa inhabiting German Schleswig.

The sixth article stipulates the nomination of a mixed
commission, consisting of the Prussian, Austtian, and
Danish Plenipotentiaries, charged to proceed to the loca-
lities, so as to settle the details of the new line of demar-
cation,

The seventh and following articles concern the settlement
of the financial affairs. The quota of the Danish debt which
falls upon the Duchies amounts to 29 millions of rix-thakrs
(82 millions and a half of francs). The mode of payment of
this sum by the Duchies to Denmark is settled in detail in
the Treaty of Peace.

Denmark is obliged to give up German trading vessels
and their cargoes, in so far as they have not yet been sold by
Denmark. In the latter case Denmark has to compensate
the owners.

There 1 to longer a Danish question, but there remains
the question of the Duchies.

In our Government circles the renunciation of the rights
of the King of Denmark over the Duchies, in the sense of
a cession of those Duchies to the two great German Powers
is interpreted to mean that the claimants of succession
to the Duchies must bring forward their claims before
Austria and Prussia. It has now to bo ascertained whether
the Vienna Cabinet shares the views of our Cabinet, which
is in flagrant oppcsition upon this subject with the secondary
German States,

Prince Gortschakoff has been hero since Thursday. He
dined yesterday at the palace. The Prince has already had
several interviews with NI de Bismark, to which, doubtless,
too much importance is attributed.

The reconstitution of the Zollverein will be followed by
important negotiations between the Zollverein on the one
hand, and Rustle, Switzerland, and Denmark on the other.
M. Delbruck one of the councillors of the Board of Trade,
who negotiated the Treaty of Commerce between Prussia
and France, will shortly leave for Paris, so as to come to
an understanding with the French Government respecting
the modifications to be made in the Treaty of the 2d of
August, 1862, which Prussia has promised to ask for in the
new Zollverein Treaties.

Letters from Holland report the stoppage of tho following
houses :—Mc esrs J. M, Posno and Son, diamond merchants,
with liabilities of about £200,000 ; Messrs Wythoff and Son,
sugar refiners; Mr J. G. Frenke, merchant; and Messre
Thelon and Co„ merchants, all of Amsterdam ; Messrs De
Bruyn Bros., of Rotterdam, merchants; and Messrs Van
Criffalin and Co., of Rhenen, also general merchants,
During the last few days there has been rathor more
animation in the markets for foreign and colonial produce.
Sugars have been in great demand, at an advance of 6d to
Is per cwt. Coffee also has been largely dealt in at full
rates, but the public sales of tea have proceeded slowly at
about previous values. The high rates demanded by holders
of rice has checked business in that article, while fruit and
spices have been in moderate request at about previous quo-
tations. Tallow has been in very limited favour, and prices
for both present and forward delivery have shown less
firmness.

TLIE ENGLISH BAR AND M., BERRYER.-At a
meeting of the benchers of the Middle Temple, held on
Wednesday evening in their Parliament Chamber, it was
resolved to place the magnificent hall of the society at the
disposal of the committee for conducting the entertainment
about to be offered to M. Berryer by the bar of England,
which will take place on Tuesday evening next. It is un-
derstood that the Attorney-General will occupy the chair
on the occasion.

THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, NOv.
4,—The North German Lloyd steamship Hansa, Captain
Van Sauten, from New York on the 22d, has arrived here.
She brings 102 passengers for Bremen, 38 for Southampton
and Havre, 600 dollars for Bremen, and 5,000 dollars for
France. The Hansa left New York on the 22d, and on the
27th sho spoke the American ship Progress, and on the 30th
the English bark Walton, of Liverpool. No tidings have
as yet been received of the overdue steamer Saxonia. It is
supposed that she has broken down, and, coming home
under canvas, has been delayed by the long•prevailing
easterly winds.

DEATH FROM PASSlON.—Yesterday afternoon a
man named Howard, living in Cable-street, Liverpool, was
discharged by his employer. Ho at once went into a furious
passion and assaulted his master. In consequence of this
ho was given into custody, but while being taken to the
police-station he fell down dead in tho street.

A MAORI MAIDEN AND HER ADMIRERS.—A word
or two before we close about Arriana, the object of
tie adoration. She is a remarkably pretty half. caste, the
offspring of an Englishman and a Maori woman, Her
mother died some years ago; and her father, ene of those
restless, unsettled beings so often to he met with in the
colonies, left her to the care of her Maori relations, and
started for Australia : nothing has been heard of him since.
When the war broke out she was living with a settler near
Awamutu ; the family was obliged to leave, and she was car-
tied off by the rebels. She says that this was done against
her will, and that while the fighting was going on at the pa she
was tied to another woman to prevent her from attempting
to escape. We suspect, however, that she was tied only by
the gentle cords of love, and that a Maori warrior had some •
thing to do with her presence there. When the pah was
evacuated she was hit by a bullet, which shattered her arm :
it would have gone hard with her in the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter which ensued had not some brave fellow stood over her
and defended her life. No less than ten men came forward to
claim the honour duo to his gallant deed ; but this was after
the report of her beauty had spread over the camp, and
such claimant doubtless imagined that he could establish a
lien over her heart. Nay, some weeks after the fight, an
enthusiastic militiaman travelled all the way from Raglan,
a distance of thirty miles, and demanded an interview with
the brigadier—he stated that ho was the preserver of
Arriana's life—ho could neither eat, nor drink, nor
sleep, f,r thinking of her—so he had made up his mind to
make her his wife. He had £5O in the saving's bank, which
sum he wished to devote to her education, so as to pre-
pare her for the duties of the married life. All that he de-
sired at present was an interview with the object of his
affections—Arriana would at once recognise him and rush
to his arms. There was only one alight difficulty— he
spoke no Maori, and she know no English—but love has
a language of its own—he had no doubt that they would
understand one another. The brigadier, amused at the fel-
low's earnestness, granted the desired interview, and allowed
the interpreter to be present to assist if the silent language
of lore should prove insufficient. The lover entered the
room with a bashful, sheepish air, and stared at Ariana, who
stared at him in return; but there was no recognition on
her part, no outburst of gushing gratitude, no rushing to
his arms. Oa the contrary; she turned to the interpreter,
and coolly asked what the man wanted; on learning which
she laughed heartily, and told him to go away, as she had
never seen him before, and would have nothing to say to him.
The ;poor man begged, beseeched, implored, and looked
unutterable things; Arriana only tittered and turned away
her head. Ever since that time he has continued to urge
his suit in letters, written by a half-caste amanuensis, but
the Maori maiden is still obdurate. The poor militiaman is
not the only man who has felt the power of her beauty, or
claimed to be her preserver—so importunate were some of
her admirers, that is guard had to be stationed at the hut
for her protection. She has now almost recovered from her
wound, and an asylum will be provided for her in an
orphan institution. We have still some hopes of the militia-
man ; perseverance often leads to success in love as in
everything else.—l'laser's Magazine for November.

A CHILD CARRIED OFF BY A CUTTLEFISIL—A
letter from Cuba contains an account of the carrying off of
a boy eight years old by a cuttlefish. Several children
coming upon the fish on the boach attacked it with sticks
and stones. So soon, however, as it had got to the water's
edge, it threw one ci its long arms upon the arm of the boy
'mitred to it, and to his and his playfellows' horror began
to drag him into the sea. The poor child struggled to get
loose and screamed agonisingly, and some of the larger
boys rushed to his aid, but too late—he body was almost
instantly dragged out of sight.

The Battle at Cedar Creek.

The following official despatches as to the battle
at Cedar Creek have arrived by the Inra :
" Cedar Creek, Oct. 19, 10 p.m.

"I have the honour to report that my army at
Cedar Creek was attacked this morning before day-
light, and my left was driven in confusion—with a
loss of 20 pieces of artillery. I hastened from Wine
chester, where I was on my way from Washington,
and found the army between Middletown and New.
town, having been driven back four miles. I here
took affairs in hand, and quickly united the corps,
and formed a compact line of battle, just in time to
repulse an attack of the enemy, which was hand..
wanly done at about 11 a.m. At 3 p.m., after some
changes of the cavalry from the left to the right
flank, I attacked the enemy with great vigour,
driving and routing him, and capturing, according
to the last report, 43 pieces of artillery, and very
many prisoners. Ido not yet know the number of
casualties or losses of the enemy. Waggon, trains,
ambulances, and caissons in large numbers are in
our possession. They also burnt soma of oar trains.
General Ramesur is a prisoner in our hands, se-
verely and, perhaps, mortally wounded. I have to
regret the loss of General Bidwell, killed ; and
General Wright is slightly wounded.
" Affairs at times looked badly, bat by the gal-
lantry of cur brave officers and men disaster has
been converted into a splendid victory. Dark-
ness again intervened to shut off greater results. I
now occupy Strasburg. As soon as obtained, I
will send you farther particulars.
" P. H. SHERIDAN, Major• General.
"Lieutenant General Grant, City Point.
Secretary Stanton telegraphs as follows :
" War Department, Washington, Oct. 20.

" Another great battle was fought yesterday at
Cedar Creek, threatening at first a great disaster, but
finally resulting in a victory for the Union. forces
under Sheridan more splendid than heretofore. The
battle was fought on the same day, the 19th of the
month, that witnessed Sheridan's victory in Sep-
tember. What the number were that were opposed
to Sheridan are not yet reported to the Department,
but the boldness, vigour, and success of the attack
strongly indicate a heavy reinforcement had been
sent to him from Richmond, with the expectation
of fulfilling Lcngstreet's boast to' smash op' Sherii
dan. Longstreet was known to be in the valley,
and had assumed the command of the army, and
confident hopes of an overwhelming disaster to the
Union army were boastfully expressed for several
days back by Confederate adherents in Washington
and Baltimore.

"E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War.
" To Mtj or• General Dix."
The following telegram, received this morning
(Oatober 21), at the War Department, Washington,
contains farther particulars of the battle at Cedar
Creek :
