THE HAsuE, DEc.B.—ln the sitting of the Second
Chamber, on the 6th, a Royal Message to the following
effect was delivered:—

" The great amount of the relief granted during the
last three years out of the funds for the encouragement
of agriculture, to the owners of cattle who have suffered
losses in consequence of the prevailing murrian,
make it necessary to take some measures in favour of
that fund.

" A project of low for the re-introduction of a tax on
horned cattle, horses, and sheep, accompanied ny an
explanatory memoir, is therefore presented to your as-
sembly."
His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Prussia ar-
rived here on the 7th from Berlin. Her Royal High-
ness Princess Marianna, his consort, went as far as
Alphen to meet him.
AMSTERDAM, DEC. 10.—We receive accounts from
all parts of the kingdom, of the festivities in honour of
the 47th anniversary of the birthday of his Royal High•
ness the Prince of Orange.
The tendency to a decline in Dutch Stock, which
commenced yesterday, has continued to day, chiefly in
consequence of the London prices of Saturday last.
The very sensible decline of the Commercial Company,
which left off yesterday at 169, and were sold to-day at
167, likewise affected the market. In Spanish stock
the market was still more unfavourable. To-day it ex-
perienced a further, not inconsiderable, fall. Ardoin's

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 3.—His Majesty King Frede-
rick VI., departed this life this morning at eight o'clock,
after three weeks' increasing decay of strength, though
without being confined to his bed. His Majesty was in
the seventy-second year of his age, and the thirty-second
of his reign.

At twelve o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Chris-
tian Frederick was proclaimed King, by the title oc
Christian VIII., Count Moltke, the Minister of State,
in the presence of the Princes and the other Ministers,
anti several high officers appearing in the balcony of his
Royal Highness' palace, Armalnberg, and there pro-
nouncing three times in a loud and distinct voice,
—" King Frederick VI. is dead ; long live King
Christian VIII.I" which was repeated each time hi
the Herald.

His Majesty then went into the balcony and satis.
&ed the assembled multitude. The troops were assem-
bled to take the oath at one o'clock.

Frederick V I. was born Jan. 28,1768, was declared co-
recent in 1784, and ascended the throne March 13,
1808. He was married on the 31st of July, 1790,
to his surviving consort, Marie Sophia, the daughter
of the late Landgrave Charles of Hesse Cassel.
Only two children of this marriage have survived him.
the Princesses Carolini and Wilhelmina, who arc both
married. The present King is a son of the Crown
Prince Frederick, who died in 1786. He married in
1815 the Princess Caroline Amelia of Holstein Augus-
tenburg, born in 1796.

The Prime Minister and Principal Officers of State
assembled in the Palace, and were confirmed in their
offices by his Majesty, who addressed them in a speech
in which he declared his resolution to govern in a pa-
ternal manner, but observed that every change in exist-
ing institutions required the most mature consideration.

We are enabled to give the most unqualified
contradiction to the following statement, which appeared
in the Cheltenham Chronicle, of Thursday last, that
" Mr. Jefferys resigned the office of Principal of the
Training School, Gloucester, because he was a Pu-
seyitc, and that to the fullest extent." The reason of
such resignation was neither more nor less than this,
that an eligible College Living came to Mr. Jeffery's
option, and he accepted it. 'We have no doubt our
