HAMBURGH.

The Ramburgh Borsenhallo of the 9th says—" The
Elbe is now firmly frozen over as far as Schuld, and
can be safely passed everywhere on foot; but sledges
crossing to Twielenfleth are obliged to make a detour
through the Suder Elbe. This morning several pas-
sengers' carriages and other light vehicles arrived
here from Harburg by the ice-bridge. The cold was
last night 13 deg., and at noon 10 deg."

THE BEWCASTLE MURDER•

VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY, AND ►SUICIDE
or ONE OF THE ACCUSED.—We copy the following
from the Carlisle Journal of yesterday :—The jury,
after consulting together, returned a verdict of Wilful
Murder against Joseph Hogg, John Nichol, and An
drew Turnbull, by strangulation with deceased o
neckerchief.

SUICIDE OF ANDREW TURNBULL IN
officers of the gaol were thrown into great conster•
nation on Thursday morning when the cells .wets
opened by discovering that Andrew Turnbull had
committed suicide during the night by hanging
himself. No change in his appearance had been
observed by Mr. Orridge, the governor of the gaol,
since his .re-committal on Monday after the inquest,
and no suspicion was entertained that he contern:
plated self- destruction. He ate his supper as usil"
on Wednesday night, and bade the under-keeper
good night when he locked the cell. On entering it
in the morning Turnbull was found suspended by his
towel from one of the bars of his window grating,
quite dead and cold, his shoes being about six inches
trom the ground. Some writing of an important
nature in reference to the murder was discovered
on the wall, but the purport of it has not been allowed
to transpire.
According to the second edition of the same journal,
aninquest was held yesterday on the body of Turn'
bull, when the jury found the following verdict
" That Andrew Turnbull had committed suicide, but
that there was no evidence to show his state of win('
at the time he committed the act."

CABINET COUNCIL THIS DAY.—The Cabinet Minis.
ters again assembled in Council (the fourth duriag
the present week) this afternoon, at one o'clock, at tile
Foreign-office. There were present Lord John Bile'
sell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount,Paluterr'
ton, Earl Grey, the Right Hon. Fox Mauls (Sere
tary at War), Lord Campbell, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the Earl of Minto, the Earl of CarliLle'
Sir Francis T. Baring, and Sir John Hobhouse.
Fox Maule, the new Cabinet Minister, took his orbs
at the Council table for the second time. All r
Ministers will remain in town until the week aft
next, when most of them will proceed to their lc
specti%e teats. The Secretary of State will real
in town.
Yesterday the Marquis of Lansdowne was e lectreea,
a Governor of the Charter-house. The Governors ,P-of
sent on the occasion were—Earl Howe, the Esr'Aoo,
Devon, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Le"

and the Master.

ePe‘T‘eGhelleenfBrt a serious time, after sad
and startling events, I behold you once more assembled
around me. I bave had to stiffer the sad experience—I,
whose greatest pride for a long series of years was in
the steadfast feeling of my people for order and the
laws, have had to witness outbreak and rebellion against
the constitution of the land, and my capital a prey to all
the horrors of ti sanguinwry insurrection. It was put
down by the devoted affection and valour of my troops,
and of the Prussian troops that came to their assistance.
To them the country is indebted for preservation against
greater evils. But those events have made deep and last-
ing wounds upon my heart. My love towards my people
has, however, remained unaltered, and I have
not relaxed in my efforts for their happiness and welfare.
Although the banner of German unity was desecrated
by those who attempted to make it a shield for their
criminal projects, I nevertheless regarded it as the duty
of my Government nut to let it sink in the dust. I,
therefore, did not hesitate to join a union of the German
Gevernments which promisrd to the German nation a
common constitution in responding to the demands of
the present times.
" My energies will in future be devoted towards that
end. But I shall only regard my mission fulfilled when
I shall have received a guarantee that right, the respect
for which can alone assure duration to the new work, has
not been infringed upon; that our German fatherland
a ill go forth united and strong, not lacerated and weak
from its new conformation; and that our beloved
Saxony hold that place which is its due in a Ger-
man, and not in any other empire, for the sacrifices
which, at this price, it is so willing to make.
" Our relations with foreign powers remain undis-
turbed. _ _

" The war in Schleswig, in which another portion of
my troops gave snch striking proofs of valour, has been
stayed by Ln armistice; let us hope that it will soon be
terminated by an honourable peace.
"Our internal affairs will demand your serious atten•
Lion. In so far as they were only provisionally agreed
by the Legislature of last year, they stand in need of
final determination. The necessary laws will be lame-

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The promotions for.the hard service in Sir J Ames
Ross's expedition have not yet been made, but It is
expected that they will be promulgated next week—
on Monday, perhaps. As the promotions area for
special service, the Treasury Board have to be con- "
sulted on the matter, and this fact may in acme
measure account ►or the delay that has taken Once.
We trust that there is no squabbling about shillings
atd sixpences with reference to the well•deser ved
advancement of those who have encountered_ the
privations and dangers of such a dreary and perilous
expedition as that on which the officers of the Entl;er-
prise and Investigator have been employed, but that
the Government, on behalf of the country, will dis,
tribute with a liberal hand their acknowledgmemts
and rewards amongst all classes of officers and men
engeged.
We are sorry to hear that Captain Sir James Ross
is seriously indisposed at his residence, Pall-mall.
We also regret that Rear•Adiniral Superintendent
Prescott, C. 8., of Portsmouth Dockyard, has been
suffering from illness during the past week.

SAXONY.

The Saxon Chambers were opened on the 26th
inst. by the KING in person. The following was the
speech from the throne .

Gentlemen, Deputies --In a serious time, after sad
and startling events, I behold you once more assembled
around me. I have hadof

lhe the sade

I,
whose greatest pride
for order
a prey the
and
laws,th haveestead had to witnessfastfeeling outbreak and rebellion against
the constitution of the land, and myall
capitalthe horrors of a sanguinary insurrection. It was toas put
down by the devoted affection and valour of my troops,
and of the Prussian troops that came to their assistance.
To them the country is indebted for preservation against
greater evils. But those events have made deep and last-
ing wounds upon my heart. My love towards my people
has, however, remained unaltered, and I have
not relaxed in my efforts for their happiness and welfare.
Although the banner of German unity was desecrated
by those who attempted to make its a shield for their
criminal projects, I nevertheless regrded it as the duty
of my Government not to let it sink in the dust. I,
therefore, did not hesitate to join a union of the German
Governments which promised to the German nation a
common constitution in responding to the demands of
the present times.
" My energies will in future be devoted towards that
end. But I shall only regard my mission fulfilled when
I shall have received a guarantee that right, the respect
for which can alone assure duration to the row work, has
not been infringed upon; that our German fatherland
will go forth united and strong, not lacerated and weak
from its new conformation; and that our beloved
Saxony will hold that place which is its due in a Ger•
man, and not in any other empire, for the sacrifices
which, at this price, it is so willing to make.
" Our relations with foreign powers remain undis-
turbed.
" The war in Schleswig, in which another portion of
my troops gave sneh striking proofs of valour, has been
stayed by an armistice; let us hope that it will soon be
terminated by an ho: ourable peace.
"Oar internal afflirs will demand your serious atten-
tion. In so far as they were only provisionally agreed
by the Legislature of last sear, they stand in need of
final determination, The necessary laws will be imme-

SUN

LONDON

MAGAZINE DAY.

BLACK WOOD.

, I Although two serials continue to form the promi-
nent features in Maa, we cannot but feel the ab-
sence in such a ruminative month as December of
King Christopher. "My Peninsular Medal," in its
current instalment, closes somewhat abruptly, and
with a ghastly intimation on the part of a gravedigger,
which seems rather incongruous with the usually rol-
licking style of the writer. " The Green Hand " is
most pertinaciously continued, and with somewhat an
improved tone, though we are more and more con-
vinced each month that the second title is an egregious
misnomer. " The Vision of Sudden Death," a kind
of sequel to " The English Mail Coach," certainly
evinces greater power and coherence ; these contribu-
tions are, with some show of justice, attributed to
Thomas De Quincey, the renowned Opium Eater.
Besides an article relating to " Spain under Narvaez
and Christina" (eminently deserving a pe-
rusal), there are two political contribu-
tions in Blackwood for December, one at
the commencement, the other at the conclusion—the
latter ingeniously rather than ingenuously describing
" Free Trade at its Zenith," the former an excellent
and intelligent paper on the " National Debt and 'the
Stock-Exchange." Without being particularly at-
tractive or enthralling, the various articles in the
current number are clear in their peculiar way, and
when we say that they are each worthy of insertion
in this eminent periodical we have pronounced their
happiest eulogium. At the same time we most cer-
tainly regret the nonappearance of " Christopher
under Canvass," with the sententious remarks of
Buller, Seward, and their other jovial companions.
We yearn for the anti-prandial dialogues and post-
prandial discussions, which have latterly tended to
illustrate the subtler phases of the genius of Shaks-
pere, and to destroy the sinister colossus of Atheism.
