DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 20.—The Ministry having
stolen a march upon the Upper House, by so sud-
denly and unexpectedly summoning the deputa-
tion of the Lower House 'to an audience of the
King, whereby there has not been time for the Lands-
thing to join in the same, this Chamber, in this
morning's sitting, pronounced itself in favour of the
address, instead of adopting its words. When
Chamberlain Krabbe's motion for an address (his
sketch being that adopted by the Folk-thing) came
on for discussion, Count Knuth, the magnate land.
holder and former Foreign Minister, moved that
the House pass to the order of the day, adopting
the following resolution :

"The Upper House, which shares the sentiments and
unites in the ♦iews adopted in the address carried in the
Folk-thing, but which does not find it advisable to pre-
sent an address to the King, with this declaration passes
to the order of the day."
This was carried by the prodigious majority of
41 to 2 (Bardenflath and Leaninich). So much for
the public opinion of this country, as expressed in
its legal organs.
The King has informed the deputation of the
Commons' House that he will give them an answer
to their address at some future period, through
their Speaker. Every one interprets this to mean
that he will retain his Cabinet, and play a high
card for whole-state Absolutism.

When the Parliament opened, its members were
not invited to the palace, as is usual ; and now the
deputation, after a long and wearisome drive of 20
English miles (from Copenhagen to Frederiksborg),
were not offered the least refresment.
Rumours of a dissolution continue.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Maule.)
Mr. Clarkson applied to the Court to postpone the
trial of the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, a Roman Catholic priest,
for having solemnised a marriage in an illegal manner
and contrary to the provisions of the Dissenters' Mar-
riage Act, to the next session, on the ground that the
bill had only been found on the previous day, and, as
the question was likely to involve important points of
law, there had not been sufficient time to prepare the
defence.

Mr. Bodkin opposed the application, which was
ordered to stand over until affidavits were laid before the
Court stating the grounds on which the postponement

was opposed.

Joseph Farrell, the bank clerk, indicted for defrauding
the Bank of England of a large sum of money lay means
of forged dividend warrants, pleaded guilty to one of the
indictments which charged him with embezzlement.
Sentence was postponed.
The Rev. Hugh Pollard Willoughby was indicted for
feloniously shooting at Mr. Hardinge Stanley Gifford,
the barrister, with intent to murder him.
Mr. M‘Murdo, the surgeon of Newgate, and Dr.
Forbes Winslow, were examined as to the sanity of the
prisoner.

The Jury returned a ♦erdict of ~ Nut guilty," •n the
ground of insanity."
