SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

COPENHAGEN, FEB. 10.—The declaration of Lord
Palmerston, respecting the intervention of England in
the Schleswig-Holstein question, is not considered by
any means satisfactory by some of the leading jour-
nals. iThe Berlin en Zeitung says :—" It is very evi-
dent, from every expression used by the Minister,
that England has no especial regard to the belligerent
powers, but that its objects is the maintenance of
peace and the prevention of a general war."
In the sitting of the Diet on the 10th, M. Schiern
asked the Ministers " whether they, as Ministers, con-
sidered themselves subject to the general order of
business ? " The Minister of the Interior replied
that, "conformably with the opening speech of the
King, the Ministers were justified in always giving
their opinion ; that, on the whole, they considered
themselves bound by the general order of business ;
but that, since they were not Members of the As-
sembly, they could not be called to order by the
President, provided, of course, that they did not give
offence to any Member."
The third reading of the Wehr duties law took
place in the sitting to-day, and was passed by a ma-
jority of 104 against 9.
On Monday the Minister ; had promised to make
some communications relative to the fundamental law
of the state.

CHRISTIANIA, FEB. 6.—The Director of the Fi-
nance and Toll Department has published a detailed
report respecting the new Norwegian loan of
1,500,000 specie, which is to be made abroad by
Burgomaster Brettyille, and the Consul-General, M.
Faze. The Borsenhalte states that this loan has been
concluded in London, with the house of Hambro and
Co.—Haniburgh papers, Feb. 13.

BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKRT, FEB. 16. The raw
sugar-market continues without life, and the transac-
tions of the week are extremely limited; if the impor-
ters, however, were disposed to give way in price, it is
probable that a large business may be done. In refined
goods there is no alteration; the demand is still dull.—

THE GALLANT PRINCE OF ORANGE.—The mili-
tary reader is aware that there is a wide distinction be-
tween a gal-lent and gal-/ant man. The anecdote we
are about to relate exhibits his Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange in the latter light. It seems his Royal
Highness,called lately at Apsley House to pay his respects
to the Duke. On his entrance be saw a veteran porter
of the ducal household who had served at Waterloo with
the King of Holland, the Prince's tither. He also saw
that the porter had young wife, whom, until an ex-
planation was offered, he supposed was the porter's
daughter. Struck with the beauty—we mean with the
claims of the old soldier on royal consideration—the
Prince drew a gold watch from his pocket and in the
most graceful manner acknowledged the veteran's ser-
vices by giving the watch to his wife.—United Service
