CITY, QUARTER TO THREW:
1, • t
There was a. quiet but steady Market for Cotton tit' ' 1
Liverpool yesterday, with a moderate business doing. • I-51',4-V.
Compared with Friday's rates prices of American were'' i
id. dearer. Other kinds are unchanged, and the market ;:. closed firmly. The sales were estimated at 4,500 bales,
including 3,000 to 4,000 American at 30. to 6d., 800
Egyptian at 6d. to 7d., 200 Surat at 31-d. to 4itd., and
150 Sea Islands at 9d. to la. id. per lb. The Share
'Market was dull.
The announcement made in Parliament last evening
by Lord Palmerston is regarded as being verysatisfactery
but it is undeniable that the Danish question excites
almost as much interest in the City us that of Italy, and
the possibility of a renewal of the war when the armis-
tice expires on the 26th instant is naturally regarded
with solicitude. As, however, it is tolerably certain that
England will not actively interfere, and that Germany,
both by land and sea, is prepared to make a formidable
stand, there can be very little chance of successful re-
sistance by Denmark, unless aided, as it is supposed she
will be by other powers. We have this day opportunely
to hand a translation from a German memoir upon the
subject, bearing the title of " Who is to Blame for the
War ? " According to the statement made, King Fre-
derick VII., on the 28th January, 1848, announced that
a constitution should be granted to his subjects in
general, and that, as far as regarded the Duchies, it
should leave unaltered the connexion existing between
Schleswig and Holstein. To this loyal intention, however,
a strong opposition was raised by M. Lehmann and his
party, who contended that Holstein ought to receive 4
separate constitution of its own, and Schleswig one in
common with Denmark. The Duchies, on 'their part,
were alarmed at the probability of their independence
being sacrificed to Danish interests, and after the
French revolution broke out great preparations were
unostentatiously made at Copenhagen to coerce the
Duchies, if necessary, as it was presumed they would bo
unable to obtain any assistance from the German
Confederation, then, apparently, in process of dissolution.
It was at this juncture that the States representatives
of the two Duchies resolved on meeting at Rendsburg
to consider of the best course to be pursued, and a depu-
tation was formed, to proceed to Copenhagen with a
petition to the King, praying for the union of the States
Assemblies of the two Duchies; that the project for a
Constitution should be laid before the said Assemblies,
and that permission should be given for the admission' of
Schleswig into the Germanic Confederation. This in-
creased the storm in Denmark—a change of Ministry
was the result; the Duchies echoed the angry
feeling, and formed a Provisional Government.
It is not as the writer of the memoir af-
firms, for the admission of Schleswig into the
confederacy that Russia and Germany- have taken
up arms, but only for the rights of Holstein, to re-
' main indissolubly united to Schleswig. " If," says
the author, " the indissoluble union between Schles-
wig and Holstein, and their mutual rights, can be
regulated and guaranteed without the admission of
Schleswig into the confederacy, neither Germany nor
Schleswig-Holstein will insist on this admission.
It cannot be too often repeated, that Den-
mark was the aggressive party, that it desired the
conquest of Schleswig, its separation from Holstein, and
incorporation with itself, and that Germany took up
arms for the sole purpose of preventing this, and conse-
quently only carried ou a defensive war."
The Congress of Brussels, it is stated, is about to be
dissolved, and the negotiations are to be renewed in
London.

There are Cape of Gocd Hope advices of the 10th
January. The colony at that date was both quiet and
prosperous.
The Funds have been agitated again by the foreign.
news, and the " fag end" of the Bull account has its
effect. The Italian news is certainly regarded as unsatis-
factory, but there is nothing so definite as to justify a
confident opinion of the result. Consols hare been
