SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

JULY 31.—As might have been foreseen, great
difficulties have arisen in carrying out the articles of
the armistice. A line of demarcation is to be drawn
for the Prussian and Swedish troops, commencing
northward of Tardern, and extending south to
Frensburg. No difficulty has arisen respecting the
western position of the line, but in regard to the
eastern part the Danes are said to make the most
exorbitant demands, and to desire that the line, which
should be drawn due south from the Flensburg har-
bour should terminate at Cappeln, whereby the
whole of Angela would be to the north of the line of
demarcation.

The secret articles, which were from the first re-
ported to be appended to the Danish armistice, refer,
it appears, especially to those paragraphs which treat
of the giving up of the vessels taken on both sides, and
of an indemnity for those ,which have been destroyed.
Among these is a :secret article which stipulates in
positive terms that an indemnification shall be given
tor the large Danish ships which were destroyed in
the harbour of Eekernforde. There is no longer any
question that Hanover has given in its adhesion to the
armistice. The Hanoverian Minister of Finance
has inserted an article in the East Friesland Ga-
rPtie, which says—" We have to inform the mercan-
tile deputation that this Government has given in its
adhesion to the armistice concluded between Prussia
and Denmark, and that in consequence of the same,
the navigation will be carried on without let or
hinderance by our vessels."
corre-
spondent of the 31st of July says :—"
good authority We learn from
Hatcovaa, JULY 25.—The Hamburgh
issued by all those States which have nit given
that a Government note is about to be
in their adhesion to the armistice. The ground
of the protest against this independent act on the
part of Prussia Is founded on the Act of the Con-
federation,

A.ENRADE, JULY 28.—Yesterday afternoon the
Danes liberated the half squadron of Hessian Hussars,
three officers, and sixty subalterns and Hussars, and
about twenty Prussian and Bavarian privates, and
delivered them up to the German out-posts, on the
Duppluhurg; they had all been taken in the en-
gagement of Nowresnede.

THE DANISH BLOCKADE.
The Baltic Gazette contains the following intelli-
gence:—

" STETTIN, JULY 27.—The following notice is posted
at the Bourse:—' The undersigned Minister informs the
merchants of Stettin, in reply to the interrogation of the
19th of this month, that the agreement with Denmark
respecting the raising of the blockade of the Germtn
harbour involves the condition that the combined Prus•
sian and German military force shall occupy the position
designated by, Art. 111, of the convention of the armis-
tice of the 10th of this month.
" By reason of intelligence now received here, it is not
anticipated that any d fliculties will result in this respect.
In regsrd to the desire expressed for the immediate ad-
mission o! the vessels destined for Stettin, and which
have been lying for some time in England, Sweden, and
Denmark, and which are neutral and chiefly English ship;

reach Rinini. lie was at Turano on the 20th, and
at Castiglion Fiorentino on the 21st. GARIBALDI'S
wife, though in a far advanced state of pregnancy,
mounts a spirited horse with the greatest hardi-
hood. CICEROACCIIIO and his son and Father BASSI

The Journal of Rome, of the 231 ult., contains the
following :
" Yesterday being Sunday, the General Commander-
in-Chief, accompanied by the other Generals and officers
of the General Staff, attended mass at the Basilica of
Lateran, the metropolitan church of R ,me and of the
Catholic universe. The Very Reverend Chapter received
him with all the honours due to the representative of a
nation, who looks upon him with especial consideration.
The Chapter afterwards offered General Oudinot a col-
lation which he deigned to sicc pt. At this collation he
gave the following toast:—"To the health of the Hol,
Father. May the generous sentiments of our venerable
Pontiff never find an obstacle in their application. May
he live long, surrounded by the love of his subjects, as
he now is by our respect and devotedness! To the So-
vereign Pontiff! To Pius IX.!' These words excited
enthusiastic applause."
The Riforma of Lucca of the 26zh ult. publishes
the following answer of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY
to the address which the deputation of Lucca pre-
sented to him at Viareggio
:
"I receive with satisfaction and thankfulness the ex-
pression of the sentiments of devotion and fidelity of
the population of the city of Lucca, which has never been
behind the other cities of Tuscany in co-operating in the
restoration of constitutional monarchy. The wishes you
express to me are in harmony with mine, and I desire
nothing more than to see the moment soon arrive in
which they will be crowned, without missing the object
of our common efforts, namely, the interests of dignity,
of well.understood happiness, and of the real advantage
of our dear Tuscans!"

SONG TO MY READERS.
(From E:iza Cook's Journal.)
Here's a health to the many, the kind and the true,
Who have gallantly helped me along;
Ye have done what I warmly besought ye to do,
And replied to my hope and my song.
Though ye know and know well, what this spirit must
'Neath the laurels ye give me to wear,
Yet it surely becometh the breast to reveal
Its thanksgiving as well as the prayer.
Ye have frankly stood forth, ye have praised, ye have
cheered,
Ye have made me triumphantly vain;
For though sympathy's links had allied and endeared,
Ye seem now to have fastened the chain.
I had built my hope's creed on your word and your deed,
And the voyage my bark has achieved,
Shows how earnest and true were the trustworthy crew
And the compass in which I believed.
I can render ye nought but the plain-spoken truth,
That outpours in this ballad-line flow,
But ye welcomed such lines in my earliest youth,
And I know ye will list to them now.
Let then; say that till heaven takes back what it gave,
And I sleep 'neath the yew shadowed sod,
Not a wandering sound of my harp shall be found,
Save it breathes fur " the people" and God.
Let them tell that the Future shall better the Past,
That devotion will sweeten my labour,
That my working shall be, to st t human love free,
And make each one at peace with his neighbour.
Let them promise the utmost my power can yield
To shed light on the bosom and brow,
Let them proffer my thanks for the coveted field,
Where in time a fair vineyard may grow.
Ye have granted me all that I care to possess,
Ye have taken my " posy" to cherish,
Ye nurture its bloom in your wide "household room,"
And have proved you will not let it perish.
Then a health to the many, the kind and the true,
Who have gallantly helped me along,
But be sure that this heart must e'er fail to impart,
Its full measure of Gratitude's Song. •

MIDDLES.X SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE.)
James Bartlet, a slaughterman, was indicted for
stealing 45'bs. of fat, the property of J. N. Carpenter,
a carcase-butcher, at Cow-cross.

It appeared that the pris,mer (who received to-day a
most excellent character from an employment which he
had held for sixteen years, and who, haring been ad-
mitted to bail in a high amount upon this charge, has in
the meantime been employed by one of his securities)
was seen by a polic-man, about half-past six in the
morning in the last week of July, turning a wheelbarrow
out of the slaughter-house of the prosecutor. He
examined the contents of the barrow, and found that
they consisted of the fat in question, covered by a thin
coat of dung, sufficient to conceal it from view.

The defence put forward by the prisoner, for whom
Mr. Payne appeared, was. that he had been sent for the
fat by one Blake, a confidential servant of the prose-
cutor, who gave him the key.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in summing up, observed.
that notwithstanding the go.d character, it was not easy
to get over the suspicious character of the fact that the
valuable contents of the barrow were concealed under
the dung.
The yury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Judge,
giving him the b,nefit of his character, sentenced him
only to 14 days' imprisonment.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before THOMAS PIJCKLE, E=q., and a full Bench of

Magistrates.)

Daniel Kite, 16, was -indicted -tor breaking into the
dwelling•house of Alexander Rodie, at Farleigh, near
Croydon, and stealing therefrom a pie, two handkerchiefs,
and a plated watch-guard.
The prosecutor deposed that on the evening of the
11th ult. he went to see a friend at a little distance from
his home, leaving his house perfectly secure and well-
fastened; on his return at ten o'clock he found that a
shutter had been removei at the buck, and that some
person had enter' d the house. He then discovered that
the property mentioned in the indictment had bee n
stolen. Information was instantly given to the police,
and shortly afterwards the prisoner was apprehended.
A police constable of the P division said that he ex-
amined prosecutor's premises, and felt satisfied that
some young person had committed the robb=•ry. Ile
made inquiries and ascertained that the prisoner had
off red the watch-guard for sale at Croydon; consequently
he took him into custody.
In defence the prisoner said he found the things.
The jury found him guilty of stealing, and the Court
sentenced him to six months' hard labour at Guildford.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.
(THIS DAY.)
This morning a conamis,ion de lunatic° inquirendo was
opened at the Gray's Inn Coff,te-house, before Win-
slow, Esq., to inquire into the state of mind of Charles
Dean, aged 88, a gentleman of independent property,
late of Maiden Bridge, Enfield, and now a prisoner in
Whitecross-street Prison.
Mr. A‘bury, a surgeon at Enfield, stated that he had
known Mr. Dean for thirty years, and for the last twelve
months he considered his intellect very much impaired,
and he entertained a delusion that he was a poor man,
and had no property. On the 17th April he did not
know the witness, and he said he did not know what
property he had, and could not manage it. Witness
considered for the last twelve months that the mind was
failing, tut it was not till March or April that he came
to a positive conclusion that the unfortunate gentleman
was of unsound mind, from lobs of memory through old
age. lie saw him again iu June, when his opinion was
confirmed. The unfortunate gentleman was then in
prison, and thought he was in an hotel. Other evidence
was adduced, and the jury returned a verdict in accor-
dance therewith.
