DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

A letter from Copenhagen, of the 23d, says—
" Yesterday the steamer arrived, having on board the
Deputies of Hogtein. An immense crowd, whose
intentions were not friendly, went to meet them,
but the students protected them and escorted them
to the English Hotel, which was surrounded by
thousands of persons. The deputation having been
informed that the KING would not receive them, ex-
pressed a desire to leave, whereupon the people hur-
ried to the port to prevent the departure of the
steamer. They then went to the post-office, where they
were told that the vessel should not leave, on which
they filled the air with vivats, and returned to the
hotel. They talked of arresting the Deputies, but
the Consul of England appeared, and pledged his life
that they should not be injured. He invited the stu-
dents to accompany them to his hotel, and they are
now under the protection of the English flag. The
list of the new Ministry was well received by the
people, and vivats were uttered for the KING. The
night was very agitated. The students, in uniform,
watched over the safety of the Deputies. This morn-
ing the town is calmer, and many workmen have re-
sumed their labour. The steamer will leave about
twelve o'clock. The Skirner will be employed to
convey troops."
The King of PRUSSIA has addressed the following
letter, dated the 24th, to the Duke of AUCISTEN.

negplsytate of the Duchies of SchlesiNig
self the protector of the German cause in the day of
danger, not to usurp the right of others, but, according
to my strength, to maintain at home and abroad the ex-
isting order of things. Among these rights I count that
of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, established in
the following propositions, which do not encroach on
the rights of the kingdom of Denmark:-1, that the
duchies are independent states; 2, that they are states
firmly united together; 3, that the masculine race reigns
in the duchies. I explained myself in this sense in the
Diet, and in this state of things I am ready, regard
being had to the resolution of the Diet of tho 17th of
December, 1836, to protect the Duchies of Schleswig
and Holstein against any attack or encroachment. I
hope, however, that the nationality of the duchies is not
seriously threatened; but, in the contrary case, I am
convinced that my allies of the Germanic Confederation
will hasten with me to protect it. Accept, &c.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him i In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

PAINTING WITHOUT- SMELL ; a fact ac-
complished by the use of the newly discovered SWEET OIL
of TURPENTINE, instead of the deadly abomination called oil or
spirits of turpentine. Paint mixed with it is free from smell, is im.
proved in brilliancy of colour, and the baneful properties of the lead
being neutralized, does not emit those noxious exhalations which

have hitherto been so universally associated with painting. By this
really valuable discovery house painting is now converted into a sa-
nitary operation, that may be effected at any season of the year,
being productive of health and comfort, without causing the slightest
derangement to the domestic economy.

FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
12th the Ministry was asked what measures had been
taken to protect the eastern portion of the frontiers of
the empire against the dangers caused by the as-
sembling of Russian forces on the frontier ; and
whether the Ambassador of the Central Govern-
ment in Italy had received orders to protest against
the extortions and other cruelties committed by
Marshal RADETZIEY. The replies were post
poned. The rest of the sitting was devoted to
the articles of the Constitution. An attempt
was made by the Left to deprive the Upper Chamber
of an absolute vote, by rendering a repeated ♦ote of
the Lower House sufficient to impart to a Bill the
force of law, notwithstanding its rejection by the
former. This motion was rejected. The budgets
and all money Bills are to be treated as in England,
the Upper House being required to pass or reject
them in the aggregate. The debate was adjourned
on the question of the right of veto to be accorded to
the head of the Central Government.

accordingly that prisoner left the dock.
The other two prisoners pleaded Not Guilty.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose and stated the
case to the jury. He said, that when he reminded them
of the serious nature of the charge against the prisoners;
namely,that it was a charge of murder, putting in jeopardy
the lives of the two prisoners at the bar, he felt quite

AUSTRIA.

An insurrection of peasants has broken out in
Beckownia, beaded by KOBELITZKA, who had been
returned as one of the peasant Deputies to the Diet.
Great excesses have been committed by the insur-
gents.
All intercourse for couriers and travellers through
Hungary is intercepted. The Hungarians are said to
have stopped all the mails, and destroyed the letters
of the last month; and travellers have now to
perform a difficult journey through Hermanstadt,
thence to Orsova, and across the Danube to Semlin,
thence to Agram and Vienna, the only post route
now open to the principalities.
VIENNA, PEC. 'O.—The Wiener Zeitung an-
nounces that Felnwitz, the inhabitants of which have
always manifested great hostility to the Imperial
standard, has been reduced to ashes.
ALEXANDER VON LESZEMSRY, lately a lieutenant in
the Austrian service, who was condemned to death by
a sentence of the court-martial, has had his sentence
commuted into twelve years' confinement with hard
labour, at the fortifications. This young man had been
guilty of joining in the recent insurrection. A simi-
lar sentence has been passed upon the manager of a
ribbon manufactory for a similar offence.
The Wiener Zeitung of this day likewise contains a
notice that all persons who shall be guilty of making
inflammatory speeches (which has been of frequent
occurrence within the last few days, especially in low
public-houses) shall be brought before court-martial
and punished with the utmost rigour, whether they
be natives or foreigners.
Events have taken place at Vienna within the last
few days which may not be spoken of openly. An
officer was killed by a gunshot, :which was fired
from the window of a house in Josephstadt. The
same evening one of the patrols was likewise fired at.
Attempts of this nature are, unhappily, not rare, and
we may readily conceive that under such circum-
stances it is not probable that the city will soon be
relieved from the state of siege. BACH and STADION
continue to desire it, and are endeavouring to effect
it, for as matters now stand all freedom of action is
paralyzed.

ANT EXTRA CHARGE

By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch de,otlen to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses, and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
xposure.

Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
FOUR NEWSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The Columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
" PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORMS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice, It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will alWays receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.

A beautiful New Type has- been east, on which the DISPATCH

ill next year be prided. •
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
paid to them for the current number.
An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every
Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning
Mails, so that persons residing in towns 250 miles from London may
receive it the same evening.
An-EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, containing news direct from Paris,
and ether parts of the Continent, np to eight o'clock on Saturday
Evening . .

To prevent disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr.
RICHARD WOOD, 139, Fleet-street; London, to whom Post-oillee
Orders may be made payable, or to any of the Newsvenders, in town
and country.

JENNY LIND AT EXETER

ALL

A performance of Mendelssohn's oratoria of Elijah
took place at Exeter Hall last night, for the benefit of
the foundation of the Mendelssohn's musical scholarships,
and on this occasion Jenny Lind appeared and sang for
the first time in English. She astonished everybody by
the purity and clearness of her English elocution, and
gave quite a new character and effect to several of the
finest passages in the oratorio. Her most splendid
effort was the scene in which the Widow implores the
prophet to save the life of her child—a scene which
brought her dran,atie as well as her vocal powers into
action. The burst of joy with which she exclaimed,
.‘ The soul of my son reviveth!" must have struck to the
very heart of every one in the hall. The fine air
which opens the second part, " Hear ye, Israel," was
magnificently sung. The audience had till then re-
strained their desire to applaud, but this air produced a
burst of enthusiasm quite irrepressible; and, the ice
being broken, everything that Jenny Lin sang was ve-
hemently encored. This, in particular, was the case
with the exquiste unaccompanied trio for female voices,
" Lift thine eyes to the mountains," and the equally
beautiful quartet, " Holy, holy, holy is God the Lord.
The performance of the whole part has added fresh
laurels to the wreath of this transcendent singer. In
the choral and orchestral departments the performance
was magnificent.

FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
12th the Ministry was asked what measures had been
taken to protect the eastern portion of the frontiers of
the empire against the dangers caused by the as-
sembling of Russian forces on the frontier ; and
whether the Ambassador of the Central Govern-
ment in Italy had received orders to protest against
the extortions and other cruelties committed by
Marshal RADETZICY. The replies were post
poned. The rest of the sitting was devoted to
the articles of the Constitution. An attempt
was made by the Left to deprive the Upper Chamber
of an absolute vote, by rendering a repeated vote of
the Lower House sufficient to impart to a Bill the
force of law, notwithstanding its rejection by the
former. This motion was rejected. The budgets
and all money Bills are to be treated as in England,
the Upper House being required to pass or reject
them in the aggregate. The debate was adjourned
on the question of the right of veto to be accorded to
the head of the Central Government.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
The Government has issued a notification of the
change to take place in the Ministerial departments
of Justice and Finance. The department of Justice
under BARDENFLETH is subdivided into three branches,
each under its respective superintendent. The de-
partment of Finance is subdivided into five branches,
viz.:— 1. Central Control of Finance (again sub-
divided into eight departments). 2. Tolls, Quaran-
tine, Sound and River dues. 3. Post-office and
Transport-office. 4. Central Control of the Colonies;
and c). The Audit-office and geral revision of the Fi-
nancial department.
In the sitting of the National Assembly on the
9th, the e proposal was submitted to the Minister of
Religion and Public Instruction, that the Episcopal
sees should be abrogated, and the funds applied to
public education. The Minister replied that it was
utterly impossible to introduce any Bill of that nature
before the settlement of the fundamental law: it
would strike at the very root of existing institutions,
and be subversive of all legal order. lie would ob-
tain the views of the Church on the subject.

AUSTRIA.

An insurrection of peasants has broken out in
Beckownia, beaded by KOBBLITZLA, who had been
returned as one of the peasant Deputies to the Diet.
Great excesses have been committed by the insur-
gents.
All intercourse for couriers and travellers through
Hungary is intercepted. The Hungarians are said to
have stopped all the mails, and destroyed the letters
of the last month ; and travellers have now to
perform a difficult journey through Hermanstadt,
thence to Orsova, and across the Danube to Semlin,
thence to Agram and Vienna, the only post route
now open to the principalities.
VIENNA, DEC. 10.—The Wiener Zeitung an-
nounces that Felnwitz, the inhabitants of which have
always manifested great hostility to the Imperial
standard, has been reduced to ashes.
ALEXANDER VON LESZENISKT, lately a lieutenant in
the Austrian service, who was condemned to death by
a sentence of the court-martial, has had his sentence
commuted into twelve years' confinement with hard
labour, at the fortifications. This young:man had been
guilty of joining in the recent insurrection. A simi-
lar sentence has been passed upon the manager of a
ribbon manufactory for a similar offence.
The Wiener Zeitung of this day likewise contains a
notice that all persons who shall be guilty of making
t hi n speechesthe l a (whichB t
few
days,has bee
sepne
af frequent
o)
shall be brought before court-martial
cuj inflammatory
mircr-mehnaoctuoesreswy
and punished with the utmost rigour, whether they
be natives or foreigners.
Events have taken place at Vienna within the last
few days which may not be spoken of openly. An
a gunshot, twhich was fired
forffiomcerthwe was
iknidlloewd by
of a house in Josephstadt. The
same evening one of the patrols was likewise fired at.
Attempts of this nature are, unhappily, not rare, and
we may readily conceive that under such circum-
stances it is not probable that the city will !men be
relieved from the state of siege. BACH and STADION
continue to desire it, and are endeavouring to effect
it, for as matters now stand all freedom or action is
paraty zea.

TO Till LADIII.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this eppor-
tensity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoee, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than
T ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to-the virtues of Mr. (l.'s
flegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an lla. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasare in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In moat cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair oil children's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--see
naraphlet of testimonials.

TERlLlTY.—Whatever is unproductive is with-
L-7 out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that
which " yields ne fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned
far the same reason that caused the barren fig-tree to be cursed.
This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth
famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the
ear of these of the human race who remain childless in a community
which must altogether fail, without continual additions. Not only
do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures,
but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation
to the 'wifeless bosons—brings no return for the childless home.
It is a remarkable fact that the unproductiveness of soil and
species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are
the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring as
unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of
minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value
by being toe early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some
soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others
are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the
want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana-
logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he
springs. Man is toe often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine-
ral., such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early,
and avertasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in
feet his fame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can
render a naturally vital constitntion unproductive through ignorance
of his °realization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy
cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been
recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul-
ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from
stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now
removable through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten
the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been
produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove
sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS

FRANCE.

[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of
last night]:—
The:French Government appears determined to put
an end to the ultra-democratic and Socialist clubs,
whose existence is incompatible with good order or
public tranquillity, for we find that the Club of Cha-
ranne, the Club of the Grosse Tete, and the Club of
the Acacias, in the Rue Saint Antoine, have been
closed by virtue of an ordinance issued from the coun-
cil chamber.

Letters from Tarbes announce that the patato dis.
ease has appeared in the worst form in the department
of the Upper Pyrenees.

ITZERLAND.

Letters from Berne of the 15th, in the Allgemeine
Zeitung of Augsburg, announce the following elec-
tions to the National Council :—For Berne, MM.
Ochaebbein (thrice), Neuhaus (twice), Karlen, Junk,
-Schneider, Vogel, Kohler, Stockmar, and Pequignot ;
for Basle, Dr. Matt; for the Grisons, Latour and

Suter Bron, Vittel, Grivaz, and Meysire, all candi-
dates of the Patriotic ♦ssociation in Vaud, and Radi-
cals, according to the Federal Gazette. General
Dufour has often publicly declared that it is impos-
sible for him to accept an election to the National
Council.
