" The war of Denmark (says the Independance of
Brussels) does not appear to be near its termination.
Our correspondent at Hamburgh writes that the
Danish Government, upheld by public opinion, per-
sists in its first conditions, and will carry on the war
rather than make any concession. General RYE ap-
pears to have made some lately successful movements,
which have placed the troops of the empire in rather
a difficult position. These partial advantages can
only more and more confirm the Danish Government
in its resolution."

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived.
The Chamber of Deputies on the 23d appointed a
committee to examine the pioject for a new tariff.
The Heraldo remarks that the time of realising this
tariff reform is particularly apropos, inasmuch as re-
lations with England being suspended, no one can
accuse the Government of yielding to foreign influ-
ence in propssing the new tariff law.
The fact is, the commerce of Spain has been so
completely smothered by protection, that the adoption
of free trade has become a matter of necessity.

BRUTAL CASE OF AIURDER.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIGHT.--Considerable ex-
citement w:s created. here this morning. in consequence
of a man of the name of Holloway, a labourer, having
been brought before the borough magistrates, charged
with causing the death of his son, a boy shout ten years
of age; by inflicting a number of ricunds on the head
and bo:ly of the poor li:t:e fellow with a leather strap,
on the end of which a buckle was attached. From the
evidynce it appeared that the deceased child had been
order,d by the prisoner not to leave his home during
the day, bm bad done so ; and on the prisoner's
coming home at night, somewhat in liquor, he fol-
lowed the deceased child into his bed-room, and beat
him with the strap in a most unmerciful manner. After
a short interval he repeated the chastisement, and at
this time inflicted a fatal blow on the head. The pri-
soner then brought the child down stairs, and applied
50me water to his facP, but life was quite extinct. The
body and head of the deceased rnsented a most shocking
appearance, and evidennd the brutal flogging he had
received from his unnatural parent. The whole of the
evidonee haying been gone through, the-prisoner was
remanded until. Thursday next. The coroner's inquisi-
tion took place this evening, but was adjourned until
Thursday, for the purpose of allowing time for a post
mot tcm examination of the body.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 13i per nsille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
laid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.49; and the exchange at Paris on London at ion
being 25.47 k, it follows that gold is 006 per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hawburgh the price of gold is 4391 per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i 1. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.121; and the
exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being
13.11 it follows that gold is 0.28 per cent, dearer in
llarnburgh than in London. The course of exchange at
New York on London is 1081 per cent., and the par of
exchange between England and America being 109 23-40

o
: ati excellent dinner at the Lcndon Tavern, given
"Itnernorate its anniversary; Lord Robert Grosvenor Presided • elm . and In a very feeling manner advocated the
Claims of the charity, which, he said, had now been in
:miax_istenc for nearly 100 years, and had during that period
nistered relief to more than 400,000 poor married
"len. The past year presented an increase of 231
,e.ases, and it was clear that the usefulness of the institu-
tion had not yet reached its limit, though the births at
which it assisted now
exceededexcee one in every two hours.
The Noble Chairman upon the ben( fits which the
charity conferred in attending destitute women at their
own homes, and in training for that purpose a large
number of midwives, whose services, under ordinary
circumstaces, were more acceptable and beneficial to
the poorer classes than those of sur,eoas. He concluded
by enforcing the claims of distress generally upon the
2):rnpathies of the wealthy, and by pointing out the
advantage as well as the propriety of attending to the
of of those whom Providence has left exposed to the
!visitations of poverty and sickness. A number of appro.
i)ruiate toasts were proposed, and duly responded to
ring the
evening, among hich the services of the
medical and other officers connected with the charity

NATIONAL AIRS.
Dihdin (the Bibliographer) when cn a visit to M.
Brce (printer to the King of France), at Valaise, was
struck by the inscription of " God save the King" upon
the walls of the workshop, and commended it heartily
with all the loyal enthusiasm of a John Bull. "
Vrai-
mcnt, Monsieur," exclaimed an intelligent looking com-
positor, " if you would only honour us by singing the air
to which these words are set, we should all be infinitely
obliged to you." Mr. Dibdin amused at the request, re-
plied, " With all my heart, but I must frankly inform
you, that as I am neither a vecal nor instrumental per-
former I shall sing it more with heart and intention than
with voice or skill." "No matter! let us hear only a
portion of it." " They all gathered round in a circle,"
writes Mr. Dibdin, " while I got through two stanzas as
hastily and as efficiently as I was able. The usual
Charmant !—tres jolie,' rewarded my exertions, while
I could scarcely retrain from laughter even in the midst
of the impressively laboured cadenzas of the tune. It
was now my turn to require a favour—' Sing me your
favourite air of Robert et Arlette.' Most willingly,
Monsieur !' replied the afore mentioned intelligent-look-
ing compositor, Tenez un petit moment, je vous chercher
mon violon, ca va inieux! On his return the ballad was
chauntcd in full chorus. The tune was both agreeable
and lively, and upon the whole it was difficult to say
which seemed to be the better pleased with the respec
tive national airs."

The Plaintiffs are wholesale stationers, and sought to
recover the sum of 61. 13s. 2d. for goods supplied. The
defendant pleaded that ho was net indebted. The facts
were these, the defendant had joined a person named
Noble in business, and goods were supplied. The busi-
ness was carried on in the name of Noble, and plaintiffs
did not at first know that defendant was the person who
found the money, but on ascertaining he received a
share of the profits, they brought the action against him
alone; andi no plea had been made in abatement, in con-
sequence, of Noble not being joined in the action.
The Learned SECONDARY held that if the defendant
was a partner, he was of course legally bound, although
he was termed as sleeping or dormant partner.

CORELLI

Was performint, some of his compositions before a select
party, who had been invited by his patroa•Cardinal for
the express purpose of hearing the renowned musician.
This party consisted of some of the most distinguished
patricians of Rome, and Corelli observing, while playing
the most beautiful movement of one of his sonatas, that
the Cardinal was engaged in earnest conversation with
them, suddenly ceased and quietly laid down his instru-
ment. This unexpected cessation surprising his patron,
the latter inquired if a string were broken, to which
Corelli, with an honest opinion of the respect due to his
music, replied firmly yet respectfully, " No, your
Eminence, I was only fearful I interrupted matters of
importance!" With a consciousness that genius could
never display itself advantageously unless properly esti
mated, the Cardinal bore this gentle rebuke in a manner
worthy of admiration, and immediately broke off the
conversation to listen attentively while Corelli performed
the whole sonata over again.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.
Frederick the Great was an ardent admirer of music,
and a profound worshipper of the genius of the Great
Fuguist, whom he had invited to visit him at Potsdam.
Of this invitation Bach did not immediately avail him-
self, but one evening, just when the King had taken his
flute In hand for the purpose, as was his custom, of join-
ing in the practice of orchestral music, he received the
agreeable news that the learned musician had arrived.
He rose immediately. " Gentlemen," said he, " old
Bich is come, I will see him at once, even in his travel-
ling dress." Bach was at this time sixty-two years of
age (1747). He died three years afterwards, leaving a
name behind him that the World—forgetful, selfish as it
is—will not willingly let die.
SOUNDS IMITATED BY LANGUAGE.
The cry of the cuckoo has been peculiarly and feli-
citously imitated in the language of different nations by
the witnes with which they distinguish that bird. For
instance, the Greeks call it Ko-,txu; in the Latin it is
denominated cuculus, which in the Italian is modified
into cucolo. In the German it is called kukuk, which, as
well as the French coucoa, the English cuckoo, and the
Greek which I have before given, is singularly illustra-
tive of the bird's notes. In the Selavonic, however, it is
called /./Actliza, in the Polish kukulka, and in the Russian
kukutka. But these latter languages possess several
canes for the bird, the former fukoviza, the latter
kukuvlsca. The Danes and Swedes call it goeck, which
is ill-expressive aryl very unielicitons.

FRANKFORT.

The German Journal of Frankfort of the 26th
says:—" To-day the Archduke John received a cate-
gorical note, calling upon him to resign his authority
into the hands of Prussia, on the ground that Prussia
no longer recognized the Central Government. Some
citizens of Frankfort, learning that the Archduke
John intended to make his resignation, have signed a
petition, entreating him to retain the Central Govern-
ment until the dangers of the country shall have
passed away."

HUNGARY, POLAND, and RUSSIA.
BRESLAU, Mar 24.—The stay of the Emperor of
Austria was very brief at Warsaw. His Majesty,
who arrived there on the 22d, took his departure on
the 23d, and arrived at Mystowitz by a special train
this morning, at four o'clock, and soon alter conti-
nued his journey by Cassel and Odelburg. The
Commandant, ad interim, at Silesia, was at
Mystowitz to receive his Majesty. The sup-
position that the Emperor Nicholas would
accompany the young Emperor to Vienna, has,
therefore, not been realised. We learn from another
source that the corps of Russian Generals has pro-
nounced against the intervention of Russia in Hun-
gary, and has advised the Emperor to act merely on
the defensive in regard to the Hungarian in-
surrection. Notwithstanding this, the inter-
ventien took place by the express orders

is not ignorant of this circumstance, and it is supposed
that this is the reason why he remains close to his
army.
This Hungarian campaign will be attended with
groat expense to Russia. This is clearly proved by
the fact that an army of 175,000 men have entered
or are entering the country.

AUDITING OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTS.

Mr. WYLD inquired whether the Government in-
tended to take any measures for ensuring a better
auditing of railway accounts. By the 9th Victoria,
chap. 16, it was decreed that fourteen clear days were
to be allowed for the notice for the auditing of the ac-
counts. but in thecase of the Eastern Counties he had good
reason to believe that the auditing had not taken place
until after the fourteenth day. The report stated then
that although the accounts had been audited, it was ne-
cessary to call in a professional accountant to investigate
them. What then he wished to know was, whe-
ther there was any intention on the part of the overn•
ment to take mcv.ures fur the hotter regulation of rail-
way affairs.
Mr. LABOUCIIERE said that the House was aware
that during the la,t session h.! had introduced a measuie
which had for its objet the b. tter government of railway
affairs, but the House, as h thought most unfortunately,
had taken a different view from himself of the na-
ture of railway interests, and had rejected his Bill. But
the Reno was also probably aware that a Committee of
the House of Lords had for some time been sitting for
the consideration of this subject, and ho fully expected
tr: would emanate from them to ensure a
prod of railway accounts. Should that
not cYata
a bicenshould certainly feel it, his chitty to
brimto ensure that object.
