HAMBURGH MAIL.

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 31.—His Majesty has directed
the Central Commissariat to report whether everything
necessary is in readiness for our contingent to the army
of the German Confederation to take the field, in case
it should be suddenly ordered to march.
The amount of the revenue for 1839 is made up,
and will be speedily published, with the very satisfactory
account of a balance of above two millions of dollars
for this year. The Budget for 1841 is preparing, and
will probably be published in January.
HANOVER, DEC. 30.—The Prussian Colonel Van
Radowitz has had several audiences of the King. He
would already have left us, had not the King been pre-
vented by an indisposition, happily, however, slight, for
giving him a final audience. This indisposition, we
hear, is only a slight cold, which his Majesty caught
in one of his walks, which be daily takes, in fact, not-
withstanding the severe cold and the cutting east wind,
in his uniform coat, without a cloak. The Crown
Prince has recovered from his indisposition (which is
said to have been serious), and has already rode out
several times. As an instance of the spirit of Christian
piety which distinguishes our Royal Family, we may
mention that the Queen has surprised the Crown
Prince with a Christmas present, which has given him
great pleasure ; it is an ancient copy of the Bible, in
which the names of Luther and Melancthon are in
their own handwriting.
We hear that some English lawyers are now here,
who, in conjunction with some members of the Cabinet,
are making investigations and inquiries to ascertain
what part of the jewels of the English Crown which are
claimed by the King of Hanover is to belong to the
Hanoverian Crown. Some think that these lawyers
are sent as Commissioners by the English Government,
to endeavour to settle this difficult affair by a compro-
mise, but it seems more likely that they are engaged on
the part of the King to collect materials, and the de-
position of witnesses according to the usage of the Eng-
lish Courts of Justice for the lawsuit which the King
of Hanover intends to institute against Queen Victoria
on account of these jewels.

TRIAL FOR MURDER.—John Wilson was
put to the bar, at the High Court of Justiciary, Scotland,
on the 6th of January, charged with the murder of Eliza-
beth Croll, or Wilson, his mother, in having, on or about
the 20th of September, in a house, in or near HiMown of
Dundee, inflicted a wound on her forehead, and a contu-
ion on the top of her head, from which she died soon after.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The Jury retired about
twenty minutes, and returned with a verdict, fiading, with
one exception, the pannel guilty of culpable homicide.
We understand that the single Juryman who dissented
from the rest was for a verdict of murder. Mr. Milne
then stated that a number of certificates from respectable
individuals had been put into his hands in favour of the
prisoner's former good character. Lord Mackenzie pro-
posed a sentence of transportation for fourteen years, in
which Lord Moncrieff concurred; and after an impressive
address from Lord Meadowbank, Wilson was sentenced
accordingly.
