DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 2.—The result of nearly all
the elections throughout the kingdom are now
known, and everywhere the Ministerial candidates
have been beaten. Even in Aalborg, considered
the great stronghold of Ministerial influence, the
Liberal candidate, Professor Hansen, was elected
by a large majority. In the island of Fuhnen,
where, from the number of royal estates and aris-
tocratic landed proprietors, court influence is gene-
rally prevalent, the Baron von Blixen-Finecke (son-
in-law of the Landgrave of Hesse) was left in a
finicking minority. At Horsens the triumphal re-
turn of M. Futein, the proposer in the late Diet
of the impeachment of Ministers, was celebrated by
a numerously attended public dinner, followed by
a fackelzug, or nocturnal procession through the
streets, each person carrying a lighted torch, and
which is considered a very great distinction, and
only takes place in cases of great public excitement,
as a demonstration of popular feeling.

THE BALTIC FLEET.
KIEL, HOLSTEIN, Dec. 3.—A telegraphic message

Hope, C.B. ; the Cressy, 80, Captain R. L. War-
ren ; and te Euryalus, 50, Captain Ramsay.
The Bulldog paddle-steamer, Captain W. H. Hall,
was signalled to get up steam with all possible de-
spatch, and to proceed to Nyborg for three
pilots to navigate the squadron through the
Great Belt. The requisite preparations were made
for proceeding to sea, sails were bent, and the ships
untnoored. They leave Kiel bay this afternoon, or
at daylight to-morrow morning. On arriving home
it is probable they will be despatched to the Crimea
with troops.
The Magicienne steam-frigate, Capt. T. Fisher,
was despatched on the Ist inst. to Elsinore for live
bullocks and vegetables. The Driver paddle steam-
sloop, Commander the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, ar-
rived yesterday at noon from a cruise off Dantzic
and Memel. She was ordered to complete without
delay her full supply of fuel, and be ready for sea
forthwith.
The St. Jean d'Acre and Princess Royal, which
sailed hence on the 25th ult., met with very tem-
pestuous weather, and were compelled to put back
to Wingo Sound, which they left again on the
29th ult.
A court-martial, arising from the following_ cir-
cumstances, was held yesterday on board the Royal
George, 120, Captain Codrington :
Some few days since, whon on shore, Lieutenant-
Colonel Nolloth, Royal Marines, of the Blenheim,
on meeting Captain Codrington, did not pay him
that respect to which, as a Post-Captain of 183 G,
that officer considered himself entitled. Captain
Codrington requested Lieutenant-Colonel Nolloth
to state his reasons for not according the courtesy
due to one his superior in rank. The Lieutenant-
Colonel's explanation not being satisfactory to
Captain Codrington, he reported the circumstance
to the Commander-in-Chief, who ordered the Marine
officer to be placed under arrest. Lieut.-Colonel
Nolloth, feeling hinisalf aggrieved, requested that
the matter should be referred to the decision of
the usual tribunal, and in accordance with that
desire a court-martial was ordered to take place
yesterday on board the Royal George. The Court
was composed of the following, officers :—Rear-Ad-
miral Chads; C. 8., president ; Captain James Hope,
C.B. ; Captain R. L. Warren, Captain G. T. Gordon,
Captain R. G. Hewlett, Captain W. Ramsay, and
Captain George Ramsay, Captain Codrington being
the prosecutor.
Evidence in support of the charge having been
submitted, the Court, having heard what the pri,

seller had to offer in his defence, after some deli-
beration, decided the charge to be proven, and ad-
judged Lieutenant-Colonel NoHoth to be :.lightly
admonished.

The Imporieuse, 50, Captain R. Watson, with
the squadron under his orders, is hourly exrected
here. In the course of the preSent week the ie-
maining ships will have taken their departure for
England.
