FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 3d
SisioN was elected President for the ensuing month.
The Cologne Gazette says, M. DE GAGERN has
received from the Austrian Government the same
rejection of his propositions as that he met with from
the National Assembly. M. DE SCIIMERLING, who
has just arrived here, as Austrian Plenipotentiary,
has sent to the Ministry of the Empire a note which
contains the following passage :—" The Austrian
Government much regrets to see that the programme
which it presented at the opening of the Stares at
Kremsier has been so erroneously understood as that
it is asserted that the passage in it touching its rela-
tions with Germany indicated a withdrawal from a
confederation which has existed nearly a thousand
years, and that in consequence Austria had proposed
its exclusion from the raising up a new federal state,
and the negotiation of alliances by means of diplo-
macy." The dispatch concludes with a strong protest
against this interpretation, and, while acknowledging
the duties of Austria towards Germany, it vindi-
cates also the sacred rights of Austria consecrated by
history. •
In consequence of the receipt of this communica-
tion, M. KIRCHGESSNER excused himself from pre-
senting at present to the German Parliament the
answer to he given to the interpellations of the Aus-
trian Committee.

In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
4th the motion of M. WESENDONCK, to declare null
and void the dissolution of the Prussian Assembly,
and the Constitution granted by the Crown, was dis-
cussed. The proposition of the Commission, " that
the Assembly pass to the order of the day on the pro-
position of M. WESENDONCK," was rejected by 230
against 202. The order of the day motive by M.
WACHSMUTH was then lost by 241 against 167. The
result of the order of the day motive by M. SIMON
was not known.

The Gazette de Cologne says—" We are able to
deny authentically, the report that the King of WIR-
TEMBURG and the Duke of NASSAU have declared
their readiness to acknowledge the King of PRUSSIA
as Emperor of Germany."

LAMBETH.

On Saturday Edward, Stone, alias Ginger, alias
Hawn, alias Jepson, alias Chumley, one of the most
expert and successful pickpockets, and thieves in Eng-
land, and a notorious member of the " swell mob," was
placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for further exami
nation on two charges of housebreaking and robbery.

Mr. Charnock, the barrister, attended on behalf Of the
prisoner.
The present charge against the prisoner was that of
being concerned tsith two others, not Set in custody, in
entering the dwelling-house of a widow lady named
Tiuekin, in Leipsic-road, Camberwell, and stealing
therefrom a great ♦ariety of valuable property on the
morning of Saturday week; and the principal witness
against him was a little girl, who swore positively to his
being the person she saw jump from the window of the
presecutrix. This witness w.ls, however, unable to at-
tend through severe indisposition.

The prisoner was also suspected of being concerned
in a robbery at the house of a gentleman named Schroe-
der, which is also situated in the Lvipsic-road, on Christ-
mas night, when a quantity of property had also been
carried away, and a young woman identified the prisoner
as a person she had seen lurking about the neighbour-
hood both on Christmas evening and the morning be-
fore. The witness also swore positively to having seen
the prisoner stand at the gate of Mrs. Tinekin on the
night of the robbery.
Mr. Charnock called two witnesses, named Howes and
Bullock, a cab and omnibus proprietor, to prove an alibi,
as far as the rubbery At Mrs. 1 inekin's was concerned,
and these witnesses swore they Isere at the Elephant
and Castle tap from half-past seven until nine o'clock on
the Saturday, and that all that time the prisoner was
present. The distance from the house of the pro.ecu-
trix to the Elephant and Castle is about twelve minutes'
walk.
Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of police, was in
attendance with a long list of convictions against the
prisoner, who was again remanded.
THAMES.

On Saturday the court was crowded to excess with
Danish and German seamen to hear the examination of
the Danish masters and mariners charged with pulling
down the German flag from the Schleswig-Holstein
vessels in the West India Docks on Monday last, and
a good deal of national fe.eling was displayed.
Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, at the in-
stance of Drolenvaux and Co., a German house, of No.
14, Mark-lane, who have a great many vessels from
Schleswig-Holstein consigned to them. Mr. Gronsund,
of the firm of Litchfield and Co., ship and insurance
brokers, John-street, Minories, acted as the interpreter
and advocate for the Danes. Mr. Boman, from the
Danish Consul's office, was also present.
Captain Johann Christian Mtlff, master, and Peter
Mortenser, of the ship Fanny and Marie, and Klemens
Jorgen Larsen and Acon Elesson, seamen of the Betsy
and Susannah, were charged with riot and assault and
pulling down the Schleswig-1;19104a flags fOrlil the

MUSICAL EPITAPH.

An Italian vocalist named ➢lire, having lost her lover,
for whom she entertained a tender and most passionate
affection, caused to be inscribed on his mausoleum, as
u tribute of her grief, the following words in musical
notation:—

" La, 111 i, Re, La, Mi, La,"

which ray French readers will readily interpret.

ZINGARELLI ON ROSSINI.
The gran maestro upon one of his visits to the Con-
servatorio is rolated to have rather abruptly demanded
of the veteran director his opinion of his music.
" Signor!" replied Zingarelli, with the honest frankness
that formed so remarkable a trait of his disposition,
"your music may be pleasing at the theatre, but it
will never do for our Schools ! and I have therefore
considered it incumbent on me to forbid your scores
being placed in the hands of my pupils."

FRANKFORT.

A letter from Frankfort, of the Ist, says--" M. de
Gagern, Chief of the Cabinet of the Empire, has had
a conference with the Commissioners of the several
German Governments, on the subject of their con-
tingents in money. As to the first payment of the
fleet (1,500,000 florins), Austria declared that her
own fleet had always been employed in the Mediter-
ranean for the benefit of all Germany, and that this
fleet was worth a great deal more than the contin-
gents demanded. Austria added that she would pay
less than ever at this moment, her relations with Ger-
many not yet being regulated. Prussia had made
her first payment, and even those for several States
of the Zollverein ; but did not know whether the
same thing would be necessary a second time.
Bavaria said that she had done enough for the service
of the empire by placing her troops at its disposal,
and so far from being called to pay, she was entitled
to payment. With respect to the expenses occa-
sioned by the Imperial troops, Brunswick declared
that a little state ought to be allowed to profit by the
presence of the troops on its territory, and that it
would be unjust to make any Government, which had
maintained order in its own territories, as, for ex-
ample, Prussia and Hanover, pay a portion of the ex-
penses of sending Imperial troops to Baden, Thu-
ringen, kc. Prussia declared that she would pay her
own share of such expenses, subject, however, to a
subsequent arrangement. Bavaria demanded to be
recompensed for the concentration, at the demand of
the Empire, of troops on the Bier."

Madrid journals of the Ist instant have arrived.
In the Spanish Senate, on the 30th ult., some new
senators, among them Count DE MtRASOL and Lieut.-
Gen. O'DortNELL took their seats. The draft of the
address in answer to the QUEEN'S speech was pre-
sented by the committee, and was, as usual, almost
a mere repetition of the speech. In the Chamber of
Deputies, a very warm debate, in the course of
which there was some personal altercation between
M. GONZALES Bawd and the Minister of the In-
terior, took place on an amendment in the address
proposed by M. CiNERO, relative to the extraordinary
powers which had been conferred on the government
by the last legislature. Eventually the amendment
was rejected by 117 votes to 35. There was a ru-
mour at Madrid that the Cortes were to be adjourned
on the 17th, but, though it was not believed that the
session would last long, the report was considered
premature.

GOETHE AND CATALINI.

Almost entirely void of education and, strange to re-
late, even in her own art, Catalani compensated for its
want by the display of perhaps one of the mod lovely
voices with which Nature ever gifted any one. Her want
of literary attainments, and her consequent ignorance of
all that occurred in the republique des belles lettres, allied
to her vivacity in conversation and well-known proneness
to join in, at once produced a scene which I think I may
venture to call serio-comic. When invited to the Court
of Weimar, she was, at a dinner party, plaeed by the
side of Goethe as a mark of honour paid on the part of
her royal entertainer. Catalini knew nothing of the
great Poet-Philosopher, nor had, it is more than pro-
bable, ever heard his name; but, as she could not fail to
be struck by his noble countenance and majestic appear-
ance, independently:of the respectful attention which was
paid to him, she inquired of the gentleman who sat ether
other side who ho was. " The famous GOethe, Madame,"
was the reply. " Pray, sir, on what instrument does he
perform?" she next asked. "He is no musician Ma-
dame, he is the author of Werter'!!" " Oh! yea I re-
member now," returned Catalani, bowing her thanks, at
the same time turning to theyenerable poet and address-
ing him, " Oh, Monsieur! what an admirer I am of
Werter'!" A low bow expressed the acknowledgment
of so flattering a compliment. " I never," continiued
Catalani quite innocently, " I never read anything half
so laughable in all my life! What an admirable faros it
is, Monsieur!" " Madame!" exclaimed the thunderstruck
poet, looking aghast, " the Sorrows of Werter' afiiree?"
"Oh, yes! ha! ha! ha! never was anything so ex-
quisitely ridiculous," added Catalani, laughing immo-
derately as she enjoyed the mere remembrance. It sub-
sequently appeared that she had been conversing the
whole time about Werter, which had been performed at
one of the minor theatres of Paris, and in which all the
ultra-sentimentality (so opposite to French nation!l
character) of GOethe's work, had been anmercifurd
turned into ridicule. But her illustrious neighboWrhole
not get over his mortification and chagrin--
evening, and the fair singer's reputation at tile:
Weimar was terribly impaired by this unforW_
ertel"
play of her ignorance of the " Sorrows of hgo_i!rdtiofe.

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

The Wiener Zeitung says :—" The Turco-R ussian
army of occupation has now taken up its winter
quarters. The Turkish troops have gone into their
cantonments at the most important passage of the
Danube—namely, Galaez, Ibralia, and Granguwo,
independently of their quartering at Bucharest; the
Russian army is lodged along the military road .from
Bessarabia to Bucharest, having their main stations
at Leowa, Berlad, Forkshaw, Busen, and Brucha rest,
where the Dambowitza forms the line of derna rca-
tion between the two encampments. Besides this,
Jassy has a strong Russian garrison, and largo bodies
of the Russian army are lodged as far up as the
boundaries of Transylvania, in Moldavia as well as
in Wallachia.

Intelligence from Belgrade says that Prince CARA
GEORGEWITSCII and the Servian Senate, upon receiv-
ing the intelligence that the Emperor of AUSTRIA. had
recognised the Servian Worwode and re-estabalished
the Patriarchate, resolved to put an auxiliary force of
10,000 regulars and a subsidy of 20,000 ducats at the
disposal of the War wode. Authority has been }given
to the free troops to cross the Danube, and to jour the
Servians in Hungary. The Paella of BELGRADR has
sanctioned all these measures.

A report is in circulation that the Sultan has not
only authorised the Servians to hasten to the assist-
ance of the Servians in Austria, but has even invited
them energetically to support their neighbours and,
brethren.

him an address signed by inhabitants in the dif-
ferent quarters of Berlin, congratulating his
Majesty on the occasion of the new year. He re-
plied in nearly these terms Your presence
here inspires me with confidence for the fu-
ture. Clouds have glided between us, and it is that
circumstance which renders it so much more agree-
able to me to behold friendly visages around me in
such numbers. Particularly when you come here of
your own accord. All eyes are at present turned
towards Berlin. The rupture between the Prince
and the people, produced by an evil influence, can
only be repaired by love and union, in order that we
may advance with good results, in taking for our
device the cry of "Forward !" We will enter on that
path, which I trust the blessing of Heaven will
render successful !' The Prince of PRUSSIA con-
versed for some time with the deputation, and the

fellow-citizens his good wishes for the ensuing year."

STOCKHOLM, DEC. 23.---The Reform Club of

of the country, the reform of the constitution, and
the introduction of a general popular representative
system by a representative code of administrative

WHERE ARE THE POLICE ?

"Sir,—They
say we have a large and effective police
force in
London. Where are the ? They are never to
be found when wanted. To-day I walked behind
great sturdy filthy beast of a fellow from near
Leicester-square, a considerable distance along Picca-
dilly, and could not see a single police constable
to point the man out to. He was a disgrace to
humanity, and in a slate next to perfect nakedness,
and altogether the most disgusting object I ever saw in
a civilized city. What are the police about, that they
could permit such a naked wretch to traverse the streets
of London at two o'clock in the day, to the disgust end
horror of every female—numbers of whom I saw pus
him, and whose feelings I will not attempt to describe.
—I am, Sir, &C., A FRIEND TO DECENCY.---Jan. 3, 1849.

Sin,—l felt much astonished in perusing this epistle
in your paper. It is disgraceful in the extreme that
one enjoying all the comforts of life should so far
forget himself as to style a poor, miserable wretch,
who is in the last stage of penury and want, and
probably without a friend to succour and assist
" a great sturdy filthy beast of a fellow. ' It is the

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The Copenhagen journals announce that the
greater part of the garrison of that city is to quit the
capital, the care of which will be confided to the
urban militia, and that the soldiers, who had received
illimitable furloughs, have been ordered to rejoin their
regiments. The brigade of General HYE is going to
Alsen, the other troops will be concentrated on Fin-
land and Jutland. _

The Berlinger Zeitung says, that the Minister of
War intends to let the armaments keep pace with the.
diplomatic negotiations, so that at the expiration of
the armistice he may have an army of 78,000 men at
his command, not including the reserves.
The Fadrelandst asserts upon good authority that
in the instructions given to the Danish Plenipoten-
tiaries, charged with carrying on the negotiations for
peace at London, there is no mention whatever, either
of the incorporation of Schleswig with Denmark, or of
the partition of the Duchy, but merely an appeal to
the guarantee given by the Great Powers for the
perpetual possession of Schleswig.
The proclamation of the King of DENMARK appears
to have met with approval at Schleswig.
An address has been preaented to his MAJESTY,
signed by 1,200 of the Schleswig agricultural popu-
lation, containing the sentiments of the North Schles-
wig prishes. The essential points of agreement
in these declarations are that the so-called
representatives of the people, who are assum-
ing to themselves the right of a legislative body
be declared illegal ; that the war tax, and other taxes
imposed by the Provisional Government, be declared
null and void; that the officers appointed by the Pro-
visional Government be replaced by those previoualy
appointed by the KING, who gained the confidence of
the landed and other proprietors by the strict integrity
of their proceedings; that the gendarmes patrol,
which is now useless, and utterly repugnant to the
inhabitants, be withdrawn.
The brig of war St. Thomas, having on board the
Governor-General HANSEN, and the other Government
officers, had arrived at St. Croix. Several transports
had arrived there on the preceding day ; they took
on board the Spanish troops, and with the St. Thomas
sailed for Puerto Rico. Every thing was quiet. The
negroes were, on the whole, working diligently.

independently of their quartering at Bucharest; the
Russian army is lodged along the military road from
Bessarabia to Bucharest, having their main stations
at Leowa, Berlad, Forkshaw, Busen, and Bucharest,
where the Dambowitza forms the line of demarca-
tion between the two encampments. Besides this,
Jassy has a strong Russian garrison, and large bodies
of the Russian army are lodged as far up as the
boundaries of Transylvania, in ,Moldavia as well as
in Wallachia.

Intelligence from Belgrade says that Prince CARA
GEORGEWITSCH and the Servian Senate, upon receiv-
ing the intelligence that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had
recognised the Servian Worwode and re-established
the Patriarchate, resolved to put an auxiliary force of
10,000 regulars and a subsidy of 20,000 ducats at the
disposal of the War wode. Authority has been given
to the free troops to cross the Danube, and to join the
Servians in Hungary. The Pacha of BELGRADE has
sanctioned all these measures.

A report is in circulation that the Sultan has not
only authorised the Servians to hasten to the assist-
ance of the Servians in Austria, but has even invited
them energetically to support their neighbours and
brethren.

- _
Letters from Norway state that the cholera has
broken out at Bergen. On the 18th eleven persons
had sickened, and three died. A cholera hospital for
forty patients was immediately arranged. The
weather was very mild, and the thermometer 14.
The appearance of the cholera has excited very great
apprehension in the city. The first person attacked
was the wife of a smith. She died as they were
taking her to the infirmary. Immediately after, her
husband and children (one of whom died) were
seized with it.

Last week's imports of Wool into London amounted to
2 bales from Madras; 408 ditto from Odessa; 66 ditto from
Hamburgh; and 468 ditto from Algoa Bay. In the private

somewhat slackened; yet the late improvement in value is
well supported. The stocks in warehouse are small for the

birder Chuttur Singh, to join the main body of the
latter,
under Shere Singh, determined to attack the

DEBATE.

On the order of the day being read for the House
going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. OSBORNE said, whatever differences of opinion
might exist in the House as to those resolutions brought
forward by the Noble Lord, he (Mr. Osborne) thought
there could be no dispute that the case had been very
fairly put before the House by the Noble Lord; and that
divested of all rhetorical verbiage, the question
amounted to this—that the poor-law had entirely
broken down in the western districts of Ireland; and
the Noble Lord now called on the House to levy con-
tributions on the north and south of Ireland in
support of the poverty of the west. He
(Mr. Osborne) for one, protested that if ho
saw the Noble Lord and his colleagues entertained any
clear conception or any general knowledge of the great
difficulties with which they were surrounded—

ceptional amendment; but after the speech of the Noble
Lord and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he thought
nobody could resist the conviction that they were
not able to deal with the tremendous difficul-
ties with which the subject of Ireland was sur-
rounded. Ile could see no chance of their laying
down any permanent foundation for the establishment
of a better state of society in the western districts of
Ireland. This Bill could do nothing more than feed the
distemper, instead of attempting a cure, and it
became the House to pause before it entered upon a
course of policy which would nee communicate any per-
manent benefit to the western parts of Ireland, whilst it
would exhaust the southern and northern districts.

A fair average amount of business is doing in the finest
Hops of last year's growth at fully the late improvement in

dear. Old Hops are almost nominal. Sussex pockets, 21 4s
to 21 16s ; Weald of Kent dittc, 21 12s to 318 s; Mid and East

tons from Ostend ; 152 tons from Gravelines ; 173 tons from

1003 to 12ils ; ditto Cups, 90s to 100 s; ditto Whites, 70s to

REDUCTION IN THE ARMY.—We can state from
authority that no truth exists in the report which has
been going the round of the daily press to the effect that
an order has been issued to suspend the further dis-
charge of men from the several regiments mentioned in
the late Circular of the Adjutant-General.
THE CHAPLAIN GENERAL TO THE PORCES.—The
Rev. Robert Gleig, M.A., has received a medal with
three clasps for his services at St. Sebastian, the Neville,
and the Nive. The Rev. Gentleman attended her Ma-
jesty's first levee in his canonicals, with his decorations.
DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL Ross, C.8.--It will be
seen by our Naval Service Obituary that this gallant and
highly dis►inguised flag-officer expired yesterday at De-
vonport. There was not a man on the flag•list more
universally esteemed.
FLAG PROMOTIONS. —By the death of Vice-
Admiral Ross the following promotions take place:—
Vice-Admiral of the Blue the Honourable George
Elliot, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, to be
Vice-Admiral of the White; Rear-Admiral Archibald
Duff, to be Vice. Admiral of the Blue; Sir William
A. Montagu, K.C.H., to be Rear- Admiral of the Red;
C. J. Austen, to be Rear-Admiral of the White ; and
Captain Sir Andrew Pellet Green, K.C.H. (1814), to be
Rear-Admiral of the Blue. Captain William Bowen
Mends (1814), becomes senior on the List. An appoint-
ment of Naval Aide-de-Camp to the Queen also becomes
vacant.

A VETERAN SERGEANT.—Anthony Bennett, lately
discharged in the reduction of the London Recruiting,
District, has reckoned 51 years and 6 months' service in
the army, 40 of which as a Sergeant. He served in the
60th and 61st Regiments at Gibraltar, Cape of Good
Hope, Egypt, Malta, Italy, Sicily, and Portugal; he is
a native of Lincolnshire, is 73 years of age, and has been
awarded a pension of 3s. Id. per day.
BAREADOES.—The yellow fever is still raging amongst
the troops stationed at St. Ann's. 92 deaths had oc-
curred within the last five months, including women and
children.

SIR C. NAPIER'S SQUADRON.—By a private letter
from Gibraltar, we understand that the gallant Admiral•
had received his orders curtailing his cruise, and directing
him immediately to return to Spithead with the ships under
his command, sending the Powerful, 54, to Naples. On
arriving at Spithead, the St. Vincent and Sidon will go
into harbour, and be immediately paid off. It is re-
ported that Sir C. Napier will still continue in commis-
sion, and will shift his flag to the Superb.
GOVERNOR OF CHELSEA HQSPITAL.—WO state from
authority that General the Hon. Sir Edward Paget,
G.C.8., has not been again attacked with serious ill-
ness, but is in his usual state 01 health, and has been
so for a long time past.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL.-There are two out• pensions
of Greenwich Hospital to be given away. One a cap-
tain's pension, vacant by the appointment of Captain
Laugharne to the Greenwich Hospital establishment ;
and the other a lieutenant's out-pension, which fell in
hand on the death of retired Commander J. B. Connolly.
