The Hughes' Printing Telegraph.

The Hughes'Printing Telegraph requires but one
electrical wave for each letter which has to be trans-
mitted, whereas Morse's printer, Wheatstone's '
needle, Rain's chemical, and the dial, or step-by-
step letter-printing telegraphic instrument, depend
either upon the number and duration of different
signals to produce the letter intended, or upon a
certain number of signals, each requiring an electric
wave to produce only one letter. For the Morse an
average of four waves is required for each letter,
and the dial requires seven. The chief mechanical
feature of this machine is the causing the almost
mathematically synchronous and continuous revolu-
tion of two type-wheels, one at the transmitting
the other at the distant receiving or recording sta-
tion, and causing any little difference that may acci-
dentally occur to be corrected by the machine itself ;
first, at the commencement of work ; secondly, on
the printing of each letter as a message proceeds ;
so that when any given letter—for instance, A—is
lowermost at one station, it is also lowermost at the
other. By simple mechanical arrangements a cur-
rent can be transmitted when any required letter at
the sending station is in this position. This current
instantly, by detaching an armature, allows a ham-
mer to strike a slip of paper egainst the correspond-
ing letter of the type-wheel at the receiving station,
and so prints the letter without stopping the type-
wheel. It will be observed that exact synchronism
between the two type-wheels is absolutely neces-
sary. Approximate synchronism is obtained by the
adjustment of two vibrating springs in unison ; and
perfect synchronism is obtained by a small correc-
tion, produced, as each letter is printed, by the very
act of printing. The type-wheel is then either
hastened or retarded a little, as may be required, to
bring the letter truly opposite the printing
pad. The
test of this is, simply repeating the same signal
(suppose that of the repeat) several times at equal
intervals. Tho means by which the machine cor-
rects itself at each letter, or at the commencement
of work, is by means of a correcting cam—a solid
wedge, pushed down into a bimilar hu:low wedge—
one on the driving part, the other on the arbour of
the Wheel. The paper to be printed on is coiled on
a reel, and is drawn forward by the machine, and
pressed up against the letter to be printed by the
electric wave that brings the required letter or num-
ber to its place at the under side of the revolving
wheel. The mechanical motions are produced by
the force of a weight as it descends acting upon a
train of wheels; a small bell rings when this weight
is nearly run down, and the assistant winds it up
by simply pressing his foot on a treadle. There are
28 keys, like the keys of a piano, each correspond-
ing to a letter or mark, as, say, a lull stop, or to a
number, at pleasure. These admit of 5G variations,
so that the possibility of varying signals is nearly
unlimited. When one of the keys corresponding to
a letter is depressed, this brings a detent in contact
with a pin corresponding to that letter on the cir-
cumference of the uniformly revolving type-wheel,
stops it, and at the same time sends an electric wave
to the distant station, which, by an elects o-magnet
detaching,' a stmiisr detent, stops the mime letter for
the instant, and by a revolving C5lll brought up
presses the paper against the type, the impression
of which is thus taken at the distant: station ; the
1 rising of the detent by the key rising to its pines
simultaneously stops the electric current, and each
iwheel again starts into motion at the nine letter,
as they had each been stopped exactly at the same
Iletter, and so letter after letter is printed nearly as
fast as the keys of a pianoforte can be moved.
It was also pointed out that the instrument might
be used as a chromescope ; and tables showing its
application to the measurement of retardetiou in
eebrneriee cables were contained in the report-

An interesting letter from Biarritz, published in
Galignani, is devoted to a description of the amuse-
ments of the Prince Imperial at this fashionable
watering place.
The Imperial residence, it is stated, stands on an
eminence on the tourist's right as he enters the town
from Bayonne. A deep hollow sctiarates the grounds
from the buildings of Biarritz, so that they are en-
tirely isolated from the bustle of the watering-place.
The villa is a large oblong building, apparently
containing considerable accommodation, and sur-
rounded with lawns laid cut in the English fashion.
The lawn from the villa on the town side slopes
clown somewhat abruptly to the beach, having,
however, at the bottom a wide piece of sward, which.
is shut out from public access by a ha-ha, defended
by a strong wooden railing all round, to prevent
accidents. Outside is an extensive green, at present
somewhat injured in colour by dust and light sand,
on which the fashionable world of Biarritz congre-
gate each afternoon to listen to the band of the regi-
ment quartered close by, to show off a collection of
costumes unrivalled for expensive eccentricity and
extravagance of colour, and most of all to have the
satisfaction of often being very nearly in the com-
pany of the Empress and the Prince Imperial. In
fact, the piece of sward of which I spoke above is
the very spot on which the young Prince comes each
afternoon to take healthy exercise with young com-
panions of his own age, or rather somewhat older,
for the majority seem to be from about eight to
thirteen. When I walked down yeeterday after-
noon about five to the place where the band was
playing, tbc ground outside was thronged with
fashionables walking ago It or seated, wElst inside
were to be seen a considerable number of children,
of both sexes, amusing themselves according to
their phantasy. In the midst of the boys was the
young Prince, and as I remained for some time
close to the scene, I was able to form a tolerably ac-
curate judgment of his health, strength, and general
bearing. I should mention that a bridge is thrown
over the water at one point, and there two guar-
dians were posted to admit every child without
exception, provided he or she seemed by dress and
appearance to belong to the more respectable classes
of society. In fact, the latitude thus given is a first
step toward imparting a popular character to the
young Prince's education, and admirably calculated
to give him self-reliance, and to accustom him to
form a judgment for himself. The girls were in-
finitely more numerous than the boys, and, like the
latter, ranged in age from eight to thirteen. The
ostensible motive of the aggregation in both cases
was youthful exercise, but the girls in almost every
case seemed more fitly attired for a Ma tinCe clan-
sante. Nothing could exceed the extravagance of
their dress, and as to play—in the frank, genial, and
honest meaning of that delightful word—it was
utterly out of the question. And so, the young ladies
—I dare not designate them children—assembled
apart, a little way up the grounds, but during the
whole time I was there scarcely indulged in a single
rue, so afraid they appeared to spoil or tumble their
fine clothes. With the boys, the case was different,
although they, too, were overdressed. The ne plus
ultra of a boy's habiliment I have always heard to
be such an attire as permits him themost complete
command of all his movements, without bearing too
much the mark of any casual tumble or accident, at
the same time that it sets off the youthful person in
the prevailing mode. But of all the gay and joyful
company there collected, no one's dress came up to
the definition just given so completely as that of the
youthful Prince. He wore a dark-coloured suit of
light material (alpaca, it struck me), short jacket
and Basque trousers, something like what we call
in England knickerbockers, with dark stockings,
striped with violet crossways, and neat light uncle-
boots—a black and white straw hat with black
band, the ends flying behind, completed his attire.
He played with evident zest, and I never saw a
child of his ego have more command of his limbs.
He is a particularly swift runner, and from the ease
of his movements ho gave me the idea of regular
discipline by dancing or gymnastics. He is a far
better-looking boy than anyone would suppose from
his portraits, which convey the idea of heaviness
in the upper part of the face, whereas the real cha-
racteristic of his look is open frankness and light-
' heartedness. He certainly appears a particularly
happy child, full of life, and eager for a game. Ho
has a fine blue eye and white regular teeth, gleam-
ing out brightly when he smiles, which was rather
frequently when any incident of the play struck
his fancy. The boys were engaged in some-
thing like prison-bars, and the young Prince took
his part fairly and readily with the rest. I saw no
favour from the others because of his elevated sta-
tion ; all passed as may be constantly seen among
the children of any educational establishment. A
chair was placed a little apart for the Prince, in
case he might like to rest, and he repaired to it
occasionally, but so likewise did other boys; and I
several times saw two of them on it together. Once
the chair tumbled over as the Prince laid hold of it,
and he very unconcernedly seated himself on the
back part as it rested on the ground, and after-
wards raised his body a little in the air by strength
of arm, the hands resting on the seat. There was,
in fact, a visible superabundance of animal spirits
which tried various devices to throw itself off. The
whole time I stood there I saw no interference
whatever with the Prince—all was the happy and
unrestricted amusement of boyhood. I did not per-
ceive the Empress, but some lady of the Court was
seated in the grounds a little way distant, near a
rustic bridge, and seemed to be the point of attrac-
tion to the girls. There was no other grown per.
son inside the enclosure, and only one gentleman
passed through across the bridge during the time
I remained. My time being up, I withdrew, car-
rying with me the idea, when thinking of the young
Prince, of a fine healthy, frank, intelligent boy, of
whom any parent might be proud, whatever his
rank in life.

SUBTERRANEOUS RIVERS, like the one traversed
by Sinbad the Sailor in the " Arabian Nights' En-
tertainments."—Rivers, sometimes those of considerable
size, are often seen suddenly disappearing by plunging into
the bowels of the earth, then suddenly reappearing a little
further on, and filling anew their bed which they had left
dry. Frequent examples of these geological peculiarities aro
met with in Spain, in Asiatic Turkey, in Northern Africa,
and in Greece. In these countries a considerable number
of rivers is found whose exterior flow exists only during the
rainy season, whilst they have a subterraneous flow which
is permanent. Hence that denomination of Rio Seco, or
dry river so common in the hydrography of Spain, and that
of Oued-Beba-El-Ma, which in Arab expresses the same
idea. These dry rivers, or rivers without water, present,
for the most part, the aspect of sandy paths; but if we dig
into the sand to a greater or less depth we find water which
proceeds from the subterraneous flow that never ceases.
It is this permanence of the subterraneous flow which dis-
tinguishes these rivers from ordinary torrents. The banks
of the Ries Secos, or Oueds aro for the most part indicated
by lines of verdure formed mainly by tamarisks and rose
laurels, agreeably contrasting with the aridity, sometimes
very great, of the countries which the rivers traverse. The
total absorption of rivers which the earth again dashes forth
after they have flowed for some time under its surface, offers
sometimes an imposing spectacle. The Perte du Rhone,
between Geneva and Lyons, is an example. In other in-
stances, on the contrary, the rivers skulk out of sight awk-
e molly and prosaically like a timid and clownish man try.
hollows of
ing to find his way through a half-opened door. The Meuse,
i
in the upper part of its course, illustrates this. Finally, it
occasionally happens that current, like a graceful young
girl playing at hide-and-seek, vanishes into the holl
a lovely landscape, then beunds forth again from the midst
of thickets of verdure. This is what takes place with the
Guadiana near the village of Villa Robia in Andalusia,
called in the locality Los Ojos rte Guadiana--the Eyes of
Guad ian a .

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 1863.

Daring the autumnal recess our Representative
men are, many
of them, frequently to be ob-
served availing themselves of all kinds of op-
portunities upon which to address the general
multitude upon a great variety of subjects. A
very
few days more, and the venerable ex-
Chancellor Lord BROUGHAM, now in his eighty-
sixth year, will be inaugurating at Edinburgh
the annual meeting of the Social Science Associa-
tion, as its President. It was but very recently
that the great reorganiser of our modern system
of ordnance, that happily-named Sir WILLIAM
ARMSTRONG, was in the same capacity doing the
very like, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by the British
Association. Fortunately for ourselves, hero in
England, no such incident could by any possibility
occur amongst us as the one which recently im •
parted so profound and peculiar, and even, it might
be said, so pathetic an interest to the mere oratori-
cal proceedings in connection with the late re-
markable gathering from all parts of Europe, in
the old Flemish city of Malines. There, for the
first time, after the lapse of many years, of absolute
silence so far as the public were concerned, the
Count DE MONTALEMBERT had the strings of his
eloquent tongue loosened for a while—by what
miraculous process P—by the simple circumstance
of his breathing a free-er atmosphere ! An incident
like that, we repeat, could not by any possibility
have occurred amongst us, here in England, under
the beneficent institutions of our constitutional
Government. It is not simply that here, according
to the magnificent hyperbole of CURRAN, the chain
falls from the slave directly his foot touches this
soil hallowed to freedom. It is not merely
that the gross material indications of arbitrary
rule are swept out of the view of every free
born Englishman. It is—that absolute freedom
of speech, no less than of persons, is assured unre-
servedly to each and all of the inhabitants of the
United Kingdom. A citizen of the British Empire,
the COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT need not during
all these last dozen years and more of his pure and
noble career, have been stricken dumb, as it were,
have had all his rare and lofty gifts of oratory hushed,
and hidden away, under the evil influence of a re-
pressive and arbitrary system of Government.
Hardly any more striking illustration of the
extraordinary contrast observable in this one
particular, namely, in regard to the liberty of
speech allowed upon the opposite sides of
the British Channel, could have thrust
itself upon the recognition of every thoughtful
observer, than that presented to view upon a corn-
parison of the reception accorded, in their respective
countries, to the two principal personages but lately
the cynosure of the four thousand souls then
listening to their utterances, in turn, before
the great Congress at Malines. The recep-
tion, always liberal and generous, accorded
here at every available opportunity, in Pro-
testant England, to Cardinal WesemeN I. The
'denial of any reception at all, in his capacity as a
public speaker, there in Catholic France, to the
Count do MONTALEMBERT! The contrast here
presented to view is, in truth, something very re-
markable. It is one as honourable to the generous
spirit of the English people, as it is diametrically
the reverse in regard to our friends across the
Channel. 'Unless it be altogether a farce in regard
to the elective franchise, yonder in France,
under the shadow of the ballot—and the
results of the elections in ell the various arron-
disements in Paris would certainly appear to indi-
cate by the simple fact cf their unanimity in sig-
nalizing the rejection of the whole crowd of the
imperial candidates, that it is not a farce altogether
—unless it be a farce to talk about the freedom of
Toting at least in the French provinces under cover
of the Ballot urn, the discredit attaching to the
circumstance of the Count DE MONTALEM-
BEAT'S rejection by the; electors of Doubs
e
must b 3 shared pretty equally between those
electors themselves and the agents of the Etar.Ettoß's
Government. While, by reason of their
total
lack in France of freedom in speaking, in writ-
ieg, and printing, almost, it would seem (if we may
judge by the conduct of the electors at Doubs a few
g and in
in thinkin
months back), feeling—while
by reason of all this, th
•-0 Count DE AIWNTALEM-
BERT is constrained, in orclzr to utter the thoughts
that are burnicg within him, in his very heart, in
his very soul, to make a jrnrney from Paris to
Aralines, so that he may there speak, ie Catholic
Belgium, it is true, but under a Protestant Soya-
reign—here, in this Protestant England of ours,
Cardinal -WISEMAN is magnanimously allowed
perfect freedom of speech whensoever he Este.
His reception by the general public upon every
occasion on which he has cared to appear before
them as an orator, or lecturer, being characterised,
moreover, by a noble toleration—a toleration
evidenced by the respectful cordiality with which
at these times he is invariably welcomed. As
scarlet is said to have some sort of
strange, maddening influence upon a Bull; it

might have been conjectured by some of the more
cynical depreciators of our national character that
upon JOHN BULL the full-blown scarlet of a Cardi-
nal must needs have an influence, in every conceiv-
able degree as maddening. The more fact, however,
of Cardinal IVisEmaN's lecturing from time to time,
coupled with the fact of his welcome by us English
people 'whensoever he does lecture, must long since
have gone far to dissipate every sinister gibe of
this kind as so much idle extravagance. Mean-
while, it must be allowed, in regard to Cardinal
WisEmAN himself, that he also has individually a
fall right to his fair share in halving this perfectly
reciprocated toleration. A Prince of the vast
Hierarchical system, having its centre at Rome—
head himself of a hierarchy the establishment of
which in this country thirteen years ago was
opposed by all the powers of the State both within
and without the walls of Parliament—he has,
nevertheless, personally held his ground since
then so manfully and judiciously that he has won
his way long ago to our respectful consideration,
as a race of freemen, as his fellow-country-men and
fellow-citizens. And it is thus in a great measure,
as it appears to us, because, besides being a Cardi-
nal, and therefore a Foreign Prince, a man of letters
and a man of science, an orator and a philologist—
in a word, as the Times calls him this morning,
simply but emphatically, one ofthemen of the
an
day"—he is also unaffectedly andessentially
Englishman.

mon things, and the speeches deliver
Agricultural banquets are by no medeaantsthuonmcoamre-
seldom very remarkable. The address of Lorde onaNeueasl,
however, delivered on the occasion of the
show of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agri-
cultural Society, forms an exemption to the ordinary
discourses. In gives in clear and graphic language
a sketch of the astonishing progress which has
taken place in our agricultural science in the last
thirty or forty years. That short space of time has
witnessed a total revolution in the whole system of
modern farming. If our grandfathers, said Lord
NAAS, were to rise from their graves they could
hardly believe what they saw. In the last century,
he added, the three great essentials of successful
agriculture have all been, so to say, discovered, or
rather the importance and urgency of their adop-
tion have been fully recognised. These three essen-
tials are draining, deep ploughing, and artificial
manure, not one of which was practised a hundred
years ago. Since that time the improvements in
the different breeds of cattle has been as rapid and
as striking as the increased value of the soil; and
the most valuable breed we have—the short-horned
Durham—has been called into existence within
that time. Still more remarkable is the change in
the weapons used by the farmer to subdue nature
to his needs. Thirty years ago the farmer, as Lord
NAAS reminded his hearers, thought no other ina•
plement necessary for the cultivation of his land
than the common plough. Since then improvement
has followed improvement, invention has followed
invention, until almost every kind of farm work
can now be done by machinery better, cheaper, and
more quickly than by hand. At first there existed,
as we all know, a strong prejudice against their
use, though the farmers are not on that account
more deserving of censure than the townsmen. The
objection to the introduction of these artificial
workmen was common in all classes. In every
trade there were serious obstacles to en-
counter, much prejudice and bitter oppo.
sition to overcome, before machinery was
got fairly to work. In the case of the farmers the
objection continued perhaps longer, being still in
force when handlooms were discarded and spinning
jennies no longer recognisable in their new forms.
The prejudice, like all other prejudices, has been
unable to hold its ground against the march of en-
lightenment and progress, and accordingly the
number and variety of agricultural machines used
in this country have gone on increasing until they
have reached the result displayed by the statistics
quoted by Lord NAAS. It was found that at the
late exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society at
Worcester there was a considerable increase in the
number of entries at a similar show at Canterbury
three years before, the number in the one case being
3,947, and in the other 5,839. The Great Exhibi-
tion, too, displayed the same evidences of progress
in this department. "In 1852 six firms turned out
270 steam-engines for agricultural purposes ; and
in 1861 the sense firms sold 898, which was an in-
crease of 330 per cent. In 1861 two firms that had
no standing as plough-makers in 1852 sent out
9,309 ploughs. Four firms that had no existence
in 1851 as makers of cultivators, made and sold
1,199 of these implements in 1861. Three firms
who manufactured 333 corn-drills in 1852, raised
the number in 1861 to 703. Four firms who in
1858 sold only 32 reaping machines, in 1861 sold
1,715. In 1852 six firms sent out 327 thrashing
machines; in 1861 they sold 1,084. The horse-
rakes rose in the same period from 611 to 1,739,
from five firms; the haymakers of two firms, from
50 to 721 ; the chaff-cutters by three firms, from
1,004 in 1855 to 4,805 in 1861 ; and five firms
which in 1852 turned out 64 corn-bruisers,
increased the number in 1861 to 2,680," &c.
The fact of this large and increasing number of
various machines being now in use in England
proves how very much the use of machinery has
superseded hand-labour. Lord NAAS alluded to
one important reason for the prejudice at one time
so generally felt against its use, namely, the notion
that the use of machinery would do away with a
great deal of manual labour, and consequently be
the means of occasioning serious distress among
the honest and industrious poor. This idea has
now been proved to be fallacious. As many per-
sons are now employed in agricultural pursuits as
at any other time ; and, moreover, it has been
proved that the increased expenditure required by
the use of machinery has resulted in the increase of
production, and, consequently, in the number of
persons employed. All these arguments were
clearly and ably set forward by Lord NAAS, who
forcibly showed that, although in some instances
individuals might suffer, the great body of the
working classes could not fail to profit by any
process that augments the prosperity of the
particular industry in which they are engaged.
While discoursing on the condition of the labour-
ing classes, Lord NAAS could hardly fail to touch
upon the topic that has lately been brought promi-
nently before the attention of the public. The
state of the homes of our working men and their
families has often been discussed, though little
change for the better has, we fear, resulted from
such discussions. It is, theeefore, very desirable
that speakers in the position of Lord Nees should
Insist on the importance of the subject, and point
oat to landlords and employers that „hat is their
duty ie;also their interest. "Your labourer," said
Lord Nees, " is the most valuable and most delicate
machine on
your farm. Ills weakness is your
loss,
his strength is your gain. You will find,
even
in a
money point of view, that you will
get much more valuable work out of your labourer
if he is well cared and provided for—well lodged
and clothed, comfortable, contented, and happy."
The noble lord did not, of course, fail to put the
question on higher grounds, to obs_rve that on
the reflection of the common needs of humanity,
the feelings and necessities incidental alike topeer

and peasant, on the sense of what is due to public
health, morality, and decency, " what at first ap-
peared a matter of economy and money, becomes
a matter of duty—a duty of the very highest
order." From whatever motive, it is to be hoped
that landlords will speedily do something to remedy
this crying evil, the responsibility of whose con •
tinuance cannot be lifted from their shoulders.
Lord NAAS suggested that the surplus derived
from the bountiful harvest of this year of plenty
could in no way be better employed than in im-
proving the dwellings of the labourer. We must
hope that his remarks will have weight with the
company he addressed. The claims of agricul-
ture were ably represented by his Lordship, and
the interest with which his address will be read
by non-professional readers, affords a sufficient
evidence that the noble old art of farming has
advanced out of the dull routine work of the past
century into the higher area of science and know-
ledge.

The King of GREECE has started on his journey
under favourable auspices. His departure was cele.
brated with great pomp, and, altogether, everyone
seemed to conspire to do him honour. All the
Ministers of State, Foreign Ministers, municipal
authorities, and civil and military functionaries,
were present at his embarkation. Ho was cheered
by great crowds of people, and the streets were
decorated with the Greek and Danish flags. The
Chief President of the city of Copenhagen addressed
farewell speeches to King GEORGE, to which the
new Sovereign responded in a suitable manner, ex-
pressing his best wishes for the welfareand pro-
speritywas of Denmark. Thus, King GEORGE
started on his journey with good prospects before
him, leaving favourable impressions behind him,
It is to be hoped that the same flattering auguries
will attend him in his new empire, and that his
opening reign will fulfil the expectations that have
been formed of him. In his visits to the three
great capitals he will have opportunity of judging
for himself concerning the state of things and the
mode of procedure in carrying on theaffairs of great
countries\ These mighty nations may afford him at
the same time encouragement, warning, and
example. From each he may derive benefit and
deduce experience. In St. Petersburg he may
mark many strange and unwarrantable transac-
tions, but on the whole he will find progress pre-
dominating. The spirit of improvement has pene-
trated to the city of the Cossacks, and already the
signs of the times are apparent in the changes that
are taking place and the decrees that save been
issued. King GEORGE may well draw a moral
from this revolution in the settled despotism that
prevailed there until lately, and when he reaches
his own kingdom endeavour to inaugurate, as far as
possible, the modern style of government in lieu of
the old worn-out type of absolutism. It may be
all promise and profession on the part of the
Government of St. Petersburg, but still the occur-
rence of these alterations in such an empire
testify to their necessity, and speak volumes for the
feelings that have brought them about. In France
the young KING will be struck with the intelli-
gence and activity of the people. There liberty is
more an " idea " than a reality, but still its image
is cherished with an ardent zeal and worshipped
with a deep devotion. Without any marked or
visible alteration in outward affairs,a striking poli-
tical movement is taking place ; there are many un-
deniable proofs of the sentiment of the nation being
associated with progress, and the genius of the
people has identified itself with the nation, In
England the Grecian Monarch must be specially
impressed with the benefit and blessings of liberal
iustitutions. He will witness a great nation that
apparently is quiescent, but that is nevertheless
ever on the watch to guard its lights and secure its
advantages. All these things must have an in-
fluence on the young possessor of royal honours.
That he may profit by his tour of inspection is to
be earnestly desired, and if he reaches the sphere
of his own authority, having derived instruction
from divers quarters and gained enlightenment in
several ways, he will not begin his arduous career
with such obstacles in the road to success as some
may at first imagine. He will, at least, have the
merit of deserving to prosper if he does not do so.
It will be his only chance to adopt at once some
decisive course of action, "No time like the time
present" must be his motto, for it will be tenfold
more difficult to make any change farther on when
men's minds may not be prone to receive new
notions, but may be tempted to fall back into the
old routine and denounce progress impossible, and
an improvement unsuitable to the time and occasion.
The arrangements with regard to the Danish suc-
cession seem to be Neu satisfactorily settled. King
GEORGE has agreed to take the last place in the order
of succession. By this means it is most probable
that all parties were satisfied, both in Greece and in
Denmark. The Greeks will feel that their new
monarch has entirely associated himself with his
subjects, and made them and their concerns the
chief object of his interests, and the centre of his
plans. The Danes will also be glad to know that
their Prince has net altogether forsaken
thtehmat.
While the good wishes and kindly feelings
accompanied King GEORGE from his own country
are realised, it is to be trusted that his mild expres-
sions regarding the welfare of Denmark may be
also exancees. The recent intelligence from Frank-
fort does not bode any good in the affair of Holstein.
On the contrary, Austria has assumed a menacing
attitude, and seems resolved to try the force of
threats, and the arguments that are associated with
a hostile attitude. It is said that no attention has
been paid to the representations which the other
Powers, especially England, have made in reference
to that vexed question. " Austria has declared that
Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent

inn,
and that Denmark, not Ger-

it, and A.ustrie, may yet find that meddling in this
matter may cost her too dear. The King of DEN-
MARK must hold his own with a determined spirit,
and make a firm stand against the encroachments

selves a right that they have not. These German
wiseacres must not expect that they are to have it
all their own way, and they had better use dis-
cretion and retire in time from the persistent course
which they have of late adopted, and so gain the
respect of those nations which now regard their
policy to Denmark with distrust and suspicion.

Lennox, M.P., in which his Majesty thanks the noble lord
for the kind sympathy he expressed for the sufferings of
the prisoners and of the Neapolitan people, in his speech in
the House of Commons on the Bth May last. King Francis
11. is well aware that Lord Henry Lennox is not a partisan
of his dynasty, but that consideration, far from stopping
him, has, on the contrary, more strongly urged him to
render justice to the part so worthily fulfilled by __
the noble
lord, and to express to him his gratitude and his admiration
for the courage which he displayed in making known the
whole truth to the English Parliament and people."
