THE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another
home to tho 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
han 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected 'rom
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in fire years. Here are brief details of a few
of the most recent cases:
F. stied iA, ft lien, mother dead, deserted by her father.
M. A. F., aged 3, homeles , both parents dead.
A. 8., aged 17, fallen, father dead, deserted by her mother
3. D., aged 15, fallen, mother dead.
). 8., aged 15, fallen, mother dead,
•
A 8., aced 16, fallen, both parents dead.
H. S., aged 14, homeless, de: erted by her parents
M. H.. aged 17, fallen, both parents dead.

The other evening when Mr. James, of the Post-
office, Newton, Hampshire, put his hand in the letter-box
to clear it, he found to his dismay a snake coil round h
arm, but fortunately it did him no injury. It is suppose
to have been dropped into the box by some malicious
person.

The Prussian Governor of Schleswig, Gen. von
Manteuffel, arrived here yesterday, and this morn-
ing gave audience to the resident officials. His Ex-
cellency made a lengthy speech, in which he detailed
to his hearers the maxims by which his administra-
tion would be guided. He said :
" You are now assembled, gentlemen, for the
first time since the Gastein Convention has come
into operation. I have stated in my proclamation
what would be the chief duties of the officials dur-
ing my administration under the authority of his
Majesty the King of Prussia—justice, public order,
promotion of the general welfare. In these, gentle-
men, everything is comprised belonging to a good
administration carried on in the interest of the coun-
try. Let each of you administer the office entrusted
to him in this sense. Activity, the most devoted
attention to duty, and silence upon official matters,
I assume in advance. I myself to-day afford you
an example that personal feelings must be subordi-
nated to official duties.
" My lord the King receives to-morrow in person
the homage of his duchy of Lauenburg. I have
worked eight years under the direct orders of his
Majesty—how happy should T. have been could I have
passed these solemn days in the vicinity of my
_ _

Royal master ! My military position summoned me
to then-frontier, for troops under my command are
stationed in Lauenburg. But it is necessary for the
interest of the country that we should make acquaint-
ance with each other as early as possible, and I

therefore begged his Majesty to dispense with my
presence at the homage ceremonial. It is an old
Prussian principle, that the interest of the individual
should be subordinated to that of the community.
By adhering thereto Prussia has grown strong ; as
its maintenance conduces to the welfare of the State,
so has it also promoted the prosperity of individuals.
Let us, therefore, hold fast to it still. We have also
the inducement to do so from another motive.

" The relations which prevail in the Duchies have
unfortunately rendered it necessary that one element

indispensable to their welfare has for a long time
been a dead letter—l mean the representation of
the country. So long as this is wanting, it is our
duty to replace it as fully as possible by redoubled
zeal in the exercise of our functions ; and believe me
it will be an elevating feeling for you all if the legal
representatives upon their assembly are able to ex-
press approval of your acts.
" Gentlemen, it is essential that you should learn
to know me, that you should exactly understand what
I wish and what I think. It is necessary for this

purpose that I should speak of myself. I am 56
years old, and spoke in public for the first time a
few days ago at Schleswig. I am, therefore, not
experienced as a speaker. Public speeches also
in the present day have quite a different bearing to
formerly. They pass by means of the Press, with
more or less accuracy, among the great public :
single sentences are given independently of their
connexion, and are often criticised, according to the
leaning of the journals in quite a different sense to
that in which they were uttered. Hitherto I have
not been well treated by the Press of the Duchies.
I might better escape inaccurate interpretations of

what I say if I drew up my speeches with greater
care, and then read them. But you would not in
that case receive my veritable meaning, and I wish
you to know my innermost thoughts. I overcome
my difficulty of speech, and am also not afraid of
the Press ; for when the nation once knows and has
confidence in me, the Press in its desire for truth
and justice will convey my meaning to the nation,
and judge fairly what I say.
"I said recently in Schleswig that the intim4te
connexion of the Duchies is the idea animating all
minds. As far back as 1849-1np.,..,-- -4- 2,T ,-tne
rran-c-nonczt, enaracter of the Schleswig-
ilolsteiners, and to respect the perseverance and
consistency with which they held fast to what they
have recognised to be their right, as they are jus-
tified in doing by a past of centuries. But in the
confusion of the times they have sought the attain-
ment of this great object in each trying to enforce
his personal opinion, in the formation of associations
which excited the people, so that during the pursuit
of politics the promotion of the moral and material
welfare of the country was pushed into the back-
ground. This is not the right way. The prosperity
of the country suffers, and the object is not at-
tained. Believe me, first of all, tranquillity must
be restored to the national pulse. It is our task
to fulfil our immediate duties, and this course will

lead indirectly to the welfare of the country, and
directly to the attainment of the grand object. En-
trust yourselves confidingly to my direction ; my
heart and my head belong to the country.
" But I have said that I will be quite frank with
you, and I touch first of all upon a subject now
causing excitement. This is the question of officials.
Since I have been in office, many things have been
told me about persons now placed in new positions.
One is said 10 years ago to have entertained this
opinion, another that ; this man has been employed
in the Danish Ministry, that man cherishes revolu-
tionary opinions ; this functionary took the oath to
the King of Denmark, that official served him to the
last moment. Is then everybody who has kept an
oath of allegiance until released therefrom by his
Sovereign to be considered for ever incapable of
employment in the new State ? That, gentlemen,
would lead in the second half of the 19th century to
proscription lists and partisan government. God
forbid that I should ever lend myself to such a sys-
te

;m. Mere statements have been -made to me re-
specting the parsons in question, private opinions
have been expressed concerning them, but positive
facts seriously implicating any person have not been
laid before me. But, gentlemen, does not all this
imply distrust of me ? You have seen from the offi-
cial gazette that I have abstained from undertaking
the details of government, and have entrusted them
to the most competent hands, known to me as such
for a series of years. I haNT done this to keep my head
clear for the guiding principles according to which the
administration is to be carried on, and in order to
learn the true wishes of the population, to which
never Sovereign has attached, or does attach, more
value than my King and master. I have adopted
this course lastly, to leave myself the time to super-
vise the officials, and convince myself whether they
execute their functions in the interest of the country
and administer them according to the ideas of go-
vernment I have set forth. God has given me sharp
eyes and energy, and you have nothing to appre-
hend upon this point.
" Two other points specially affect the north of
Schleswig. A monster demonstration recently took
place by a journey of 2,000 inhabitants of that duchy
to Copenhagen. Mention was there made of a wish
to again become subjects of Denmark, and of the
cession of the territory to that country. I said before
that I respect loyalty; but after the King of Den-
mark surrendered Schleswig and Holstein by treaty
of peace to my King and the Emperor of Austria,
allegiance to that Sovereign is no longer due in this
country. Whoever entertains a thought of surrender-
ingthese duchies to Denmark sins against Schleswig-
Holstein, and is, in a certain degree, guilty of high
treason. The soldiers of my King conquered Duppel
and Alsen with their blood ; they are now erecting
fortifications in those places, from which they will
hold the country as far as Konigsau, and I will
cover every seven feet of land with my body before
they are surrendered. The second point upon which
I desire to speak is concerning the mixed population
of North Schleswig.
" In many cases the German and Danish inhabi-
tants axe inimical to each other. Icome from a coun-
try where Albert the Bear laid .the foundation of
the German nation, and whence the eagle has borne
to it as far as the sea coast. I cannot think other-
wise than in this spirit. But the Brandenburg-
Prussian State would not have attained its present
greatness and power had it 'not acted with justice

To recapitulate. Gentlemen, the utmost at-
tention to duty, all the greater because we must en-
deavour for the present to replace the absent repre-
sentation of the country ; adherence to the intimate
connexion of the Duchies, whose separation is not
decreed by the Gastein Convention; abandonment of
political party intrigue, and support of the existing
governmental power ; relinquishment of the appre-
hension that any official could renounce this and
pursue separate political interests ; entire repudia-
tion of the possibility that a foot of ground will be
given up ; and the union of both nationalities in the
idea of a common fatherland. Lay to heart what I
have said. I remind the clergy of the words of the
Bible, that authority is of God, and obedience
towards it one of God's commands. I remind the
judges that it is for them to do right according to
the laws without respect of persons. __urgently beg
each of you to &vote himself entirely to the duties
of his calling. And, in conclusion, I ask you from
the bottom of my heart to support me in my func-
tions, for without your assistance, and without the
confidence and assent of the people I know I can
effect nothing. Adhere to me, and I have confident
hope thatby common action we shall reachthe goal."
