RECEIVERSIIIF OF THE E.STATES OF LORD GLEN.
GALL.— In Master Murphy's office, Court of Chancery,
yesterday, in the case of Norris v. Glengall, an ap-
plication was made by the plaintiff for the appoint-
ment of a receiver. On the part of Mr. Norri., two
names were suggested, Mr. (J. Sausse and Mr. Man-
rice Colles. On behalf of Lord Glengall, Mr. It.
Pennefathcr, late Under Secretary, and brother-in-
law of his Lordship, was proposed. After much dis-
cussion, Master Murphy appointed Mr. I'ennefather
as receiver, directing that his recogniz inces should be
completed within six weeks; if not, Mr. Cones to be
appointed.
INQUEST ON THE LATE Mn. WALDRON.—On Tues-
day and Wednesday the investigation before the
coroner into the circumstances connected with the
death of the late Mr. Waldron, at Ashfort, in the
county Roscommon, was held. After the examination
of several witnesses, the jury returned the following
verdict :—" We find that Hubert Kelly Waldron,
Esq., came by his death from a pistol shot fired by
George Church, aided and assisted by Mr. Thomas
Peyton, coroner, Thomas Church, a man named
Thai)? Crawley, and others, whose names we do not
at present know. From the legal difficulties con-
nected with the transaction, we leave it to another
tribunal to decide how far the accused parties were
justified in so doing. We fully acquit the police of
any participation in this affair." Upon the verdict
being found, the coroner at once issued a warrant
against the principal, George Church, and it is ex-
pected he will issue warrants to-morrow against Mr.
Peyton and the others. -

NEW DANISH CONSTITUTION.
' We give below a translation of a decree, dated
January 28, in which King Frederick VIL declares
his intention of granting a new constitution to his
subjects. His Majesty seems determined to meet at
once the difficulties which disturbed the reign of his
predecessor, and to leave the disaffected—if any there
be—in his kingdom no shadow of an excuse for com-
plaint. It will be seen, on examination of the docu-
ment, that unless the Schleswig-Holstein party are of
an Hibernian turn of mind, they can hardly help
being delighted with the King's decree. Though the
inhabitants of those provinces are in a vast minority
as compared with the Danish population of the
kingdom, still the number of their representatives in the
Council of Delegates, to whom the plan of the con-
stitution will be submitted, precisely equals that of
the delegates from Denmark Proper. This circum-
stance alone ought to convince that portion of King
Frederick's dominions that no unfair advantage will
be taken by him as regards his German subjects ; but
that he is resolved to place the component parts of his
kingdom, whether Danes or Germans, on exactly the
same footing in the eyes of the Crown
" For the purpose of putting in execution the plans
projected by our beloved father Christian VIII., and
which we had ourselves advised, and in our desire
that this work shall co-operate in maintaining the
independence of the different parts of ,the kingdom,
as well as their union in a well-ordered whole, we
have resolved to take into consideration the introduc-
tion of such a constitution as will insure equally the
inalienable rights of our Crown, guarantee the rights
of our dear and faithful subjects in general, and secure
the interests and privileges of the inhabitants. For
these purposes we propose to establish Common States
for our kingdom of Denmark and our duchies of
Schleswig and Holstein, elected in equal number in
our kingdom and our duchies, to assemble regularly
at fixed periods, alternately in our kingdom and our
duchies. The rights which we intend attributing to
these states will consist in decisive votes for the
change of taxes and for the administering of
the finances, as well as passing laws touching
the consinon affairs of the kingdom and the
duchies We will also authorise the same
states to present propositions relating to objects
within their sphere of activity, immediately concerning
the common interests of the kingdom and the duchies
of our several provinces. By this constitution of the
states nothing is to be changed in the general ordi-
nances of the 28th of May, 1831, or the 15th of May,
1834, respecting the organization of the provincial
States in our kingdom of Denmark and our duchies
of Schleswig and Holstein, or in the present relations
of those duchies, or in those of our duchies of Hol-
stein and Lauenburg with the Germanic Confedera-
tion, or in the constitution of this latter duchy, or in
the organization of the Althing of our island of Ice-
land. In fine, the law of the constitution will pro-
tect equally the Danish and German languages in
those districts of Schleswig where the languages co-
exist. Before giving to the new constitution the
force of law, we shall submit it to int& lligent and ex-
perienced men enjoying the confidence of their coun
trymen. In order to give our dear subjects a proof
of our great confidence in them, we shall leave the
choice of the majority of these delegates to the
different categories of the deputies sitting in the
assembliei •)f the provincial States by right of elec
Lion, as well as to the clergy, prelates, and landed
nobility in the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig,
and to the consistories of the Universities of Copen-
hagen and Kiel.
" For this purpose, as far as regards our kingdom
of Denmark, the deputies of Copenhagen and of the
provincial towns, who are named members of our
faithful assembly of provincial States for the dioceses
of Zealand, Funen, Laaland, and Falster, shall choose
from amongst themselves three delegates; the depu-
ties of the great landowners, two; and the deputies
of the smaller landowners, two ; the deputies of the
provincial States of Northern Jutland for the towns,
two • of the great landowners, two ; those of the
small landed proprietors, two ; the bishops and clergy
of the said dioceses, and of Als and -Eroe' two; the
bishops and clergy of Northern Jutland and the
parishes of the duchy of Schleswig which belong in
ecclesiastical relation to North Jutland, two ; and the
University of Copenhagen, one.
" As to our duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, the
members of our faithful assembly of provincial States
of Schleswig belonging to the category of great
landed proprietors shall elect one delegate; the depu-
ties of the towns, two ; those of the smaller landed
proprietors, two ; and the same shall be the case for
their various classes in the duchy of Holstein,
except that the great landed proprietors shall elect
two delegates from their body. The great
body of the clergy in Schleswig and Holstein
shall also send two delegates, and the prelates
and landed nobility of those provinces, four.
" The elections for the choice of these delegates
will take place in March next, in various towns
which we shall name, as soon as each member of the
assemblies of the provincial States shall receive an
order by a royal rescript • commissioners, appointed
by us, presiding over the proceedings. 'When the
elections shall have terminated, and the results have
been made known to us, we will nominate, to be
added to the delegates, eight persons from our king-
dom of Denmark, four from the duchy of Schleswig,
and four from that of Holstein. The whole number
of delegates to be appointed is, therefore, 52, 26 for
Denmark and 26 for the duchies of Schleswig and
Holstein. Two months afterwards, at the latest,
these delegates shall assemble on a day fixed by us in
our palace of Copenhagen, under the presidency of
some of our highest functionaries, and shall commence
their labours, continuing them until we think fit to
cause them to cease. We reserve to ourselves,
however, independently of the special object
of their convocation, to submit to • their ex-
amination certain matters relative to legis-
lation and administration, which at a later
period shall be laid before the provincial States when
assembled this year; particularly the establishment
of a general militia, the regulation of the monetary
system, and the final dispositions touching the order
in which royal and private propositions shall be dis-
cussed in the provincial States. In the discussions
any member may employ, as he thinks fit, the two
languages of the country, and the minutes shall also
be drawn up in both tongues. The result of the
discussions shall afterwards be submitted to us, that
we may declare our royal will concerning them. H
we feel a lively joy in finishing the work commences
by our deceased father, our satisfaction is doubled
by the thought, that we are enabled to publish this
decree on the anniversary of the birth of King Fre-
derick VI. of glorious memory, and thus unite the
remembrance of the founder of the institution of the
provincial States to the undertaking which he pre-
pared by that institution.

NAPLES AND PA EIEIIO.

[P

CE SD.

Our last acmunts from Palermo were up to the
21st ult, and from Naples up to the 24th. We have
now received letters and journals from Palermo to
the 24th, and from Naples to the 29th ult. The fol-
lowing is a summary of this later intelligence :
After the first moment of tumult, the different
committees formed at Palermo by the insurgents, as
we have already described, felt the neccessity of
strengthening themselves by centralising their action.
This junta of the government formed itself into two
in,tead of four sections, one of defence, the other of
administration. In order to regularise and extend its
relations with the people, which till then had only
taken place by means of printed placards, it caused a
journal called The Citizen (II Cittedino) to be esta-
blished, and the first number appeared on the 22d
.January. The object of this journal, according to
an inscription placed at the head of each number, is
to '‘mention the most important facts connected with
Sicilian regeneration, to make known the determina-
tion of the representatives of the people, and to treat
on all political questions as to the system adapted to
Sicily."
Perceiving the impossibility of reducing the city
with the troops at their disposal, the authorities
again endeavoured to enter into negotiation with the
insurgents. For this purpose General de Sauget,
commandant of the troops from Naples, sent a
Sicilian captain to the junta on the 22d, with the
following propositions:-Ist. To conclude a suspen-
sion of hostilities; 2d. For the Junta to forward pro-
visions to the criminal prisoners confined under the
care of the royal troops; Bd. To send an envoy of the
Junta to Naples, to expose the demands of the people
to the King ; 4th. An offer of a decree of general
amnesty. With the exception of the second, all these
propositions were rejected with disdain; and the de-
cree of amnesty, communicated by the Junta to the
people, was publicly burned.
Numbers of placards were published from time to
time in order to excite the enthusiasm of the people
and strengthen its resolution. One of those which
excited the greatest interest, and produced the great-
est effect set forth a speech delivered in 1840 by king
Ferdinand I. before the Sicilian Parliament. In this
speech, the King stated that the necessity of provid-
ing for the defence of the kingdom, under the cir-
cumstances in which Europe was then placed, obliged
him to call on the Parliament for prompt and extra-
ordinary means of supplying deficiencies of the
Treasury. The cause, he said, which he defended,
and for which those means were required, interested
"his family, their holy religion, the privileges
of the different orders, and generally all the po-
litical institutions of the kingdom to which all were
sincerely attached from love to the country." "I
remind you," continued his Majesty " that these gifts
and these advantages were possessed by other nations
as distinguished as yours. They hare almost entirely
lost them by the want of public spirit and national
energy, so that it may be said that these advantages
are not to be found any where except in the two
most famous islands in the world, Great Britain and
our Sicily. Direct then your sacrifices to the pre-
servation of these valuable prerogatives, the precious
heritages which the Kings our predecessors left you,
and which, at the risk of all personal sacrifices and
dangers, you are obliged to preserve for your de-
scendants."

The attention of the Junta had specially to
be directed towards the supplying of Palermo
with provisions, and it appears that not only
WAS food not deficient, but it did not become
sensibly dearer. In the web of narrow and tor-
tuous streets of which Palermo is composed, an
innumerable crowd circulated incessantly. The
greatest part of the population was without arms ;
a certain number of persons, however, had guns, and
many swords and cutlasses. In some streets the
shops had re-opened, and a sort of tranquillity pre-
vailed. The tranquillity would have been perfect, if
the garrison had not amused itself from time to time
by sweeping with grape-shot the long street called
Toledo, which di►ides the city in two. On the 22d
the insurgents and the royal troops fought fiercely
near the Palace of Finance, but the great effort
made by the former on that day was, as we men-
tioned, in our last accounts, to obtain possession of
the convent of the Novizziato. Towards the evening
they succeeded in carrying that position, and in
making prisoners a considerable number of soldiers.
The people treated them well, and at times employed
them to point the seven or eight pieces of artillery
which it had been able to collect.

Letters coming direct from Palermo do not an-
nounce that the insurgents had made any further
progress. But we read in a letter of the 29th from
Naples that the intelligence had been received teat,
after a bloody struggle, they had succeeded in pos-
sessing themselves of the Bank arid the Royal Palace.
The battle lasted a whole day, and it was said had
led to the city being again bombarded. The Duke
de Majo had sought refuge in the camp of General
de Sauget ; General Yid had embarked, and had
arrived at Naples at the date of the last letters. It is
said that the insurgents found in the Bank 2,000,000
ducats (about 8,000,000 francs); and it is added
that the number of soldiers they had made
prisoners was very great. As always occurs in such
cases, the two parties addressed accusations and re-
criminations to each other. The insurgents reproached
the soldiers with having massacred Benedictine monks
without defence, and excused themselves for having
been guilty of cruelty towards the police agents who
had fallen into their hands. The enthusiasm of the
people had not declined. The lists of subscriptions
increased rapidly, money pouring in in all directions
for the reliet of the poor and wounded. The Jesuits
had subscribed for 1,200 f., and transformed one of
their houses into an hospital for the wounded. There
is no intelligence from other parts of Sicily ; but
letters from Messina of the 20th announce that every-
thing caused it to be feared that a bloody collision
would take place in that city.
As we have already said, the intelligence from
Naples had caused a profound impression. The first
concessions made by the King had not satisfied public
opinion, as they had appeared tardy and insufficient.
The people were, moreover, greatly surprised at not
seeing any change of Ministry under circumstances
so grave, and when public opinion was so manifestly
hostile to the Minister of Police. Clubs were organised
and those faces weres seen in Naples which never show
themselves except on the eve of great popular move-
ments. Every one was expecting a movement, and
the least rumours, some cries uttered by accident,
ceded a panic. The people seemed as it were to be
preparing themselves for an outbreak. In the mean-
while the Government seemed paralysed. Neverthe-
less, in compliance with the general wish, the King
had consented to separate himself from Monsignor
Cocle, his confessor, who retired to a convent at Be-
, nevento. In the evening of the 26th M. del Carretto,
Minister of Police, received an order of departure.
' Ile was conducted from the palace on board a steamer
prepared in advance. He was not allowed to take.
leave of his family. We perceive, by the Official
1 Gazette of Turin, that this ex-Minister had arrived at
Genoa on the 29th, on board the Neptune.
On the 25th ult the chiefs of the moderate liberals
were in communication with the chiefs of the move-
ment, and it was determined, before reeking any po-
pular demonstration, that they should wait to ascer-
tain the effect of the petitions to the King, praying
for a constitution, which were being signed in all
directions. But the chiefs were not able to check
the masses. On the 26th a great crowd, about thirty
thousand persons, assembled in Toledo-street, which
is the principal one of Naples. This mass shouted
" Long live the King! Long live the Constitution !"
The ricurious immediately assembled from all sides
and all the adjacent streets were encumbered. There-
upon /the military authorittes, believing the move-
ment serious, executed the orders given for a case
of riot. The red flag was hoisted at the fort of
Saint Elmo, and three guns were fired. The
fort of the CEut replied, and at this signal all the
trcops of the garrison issued forth, surrounded the
chateau, and went towards the street of Toledo. But
it was impossible to penetrate the compact crowd
which filled the gigantic street, continually shouting,
e Long live the King l Long live the Constitution ! "
The windows were crowded with people. The women
waved handkerchiefs of the Italian colours. Some
dragoons, having attempted to make a charge, fell
with their horses, but they were immediately raised
by the people. The young nobles and citizens em-
braced the Lazzaroni, and the civic guards fraternized
with the people. General Slatella having succeeded in
forcing his way on horseback into the midst of the crowd,
called on them to be orderly, and to cry " Long live the
king !" The people uttered the cry, and then called
upon the General to shout, " Long live the Constitu-
-1 tem !" The General did not comply with the re-
quest, but it is asserted that he answered " L'avrete "
—" You shall have it!" The crowd subsequently
gralually dispersed, and two hours after order be-
came re-established. After some hesitation, the King
accepted the resignation of all his Ministers, and
formed a new Cabinet. The decree, which is dated
c
the 27th, nominates the Duke de Serra a.priola
(Ambassador at Paris), President of the Council and
Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Prince Dentrice, Mi-
nister of Finance ; Don Gaetano Sc.ovasso„ll.linister
of Commerce and Public Instruction ; Prince
.de
Torella, Minister of Public. Works ; Don Cesido
Bonanni, Minister of
.Jus.tice. and.
.Ecclesiastical
Affairs ; Don Carlo Cianciulli, Minister of the

Court of Accounts. Prince deTorella, who is father
of one of the young men who were lately arrested for
litical motives, is highly esteemed, as is also Prince_
; M. Bonanni is a distinguished magistrate;
M. SZ-nvazzo, a Sicilian, is a very able man, Wit,
pos-
sesses onl)r indifferent health. It was said' that. Ilia M:4 s
Cianciullf, who is an able administrator, has thought
right not to accept the portfolio offered to him. All
these Ministers, who are of moderate progressist
opinions, agreed, it is said, in declaring to King
Ferdinand that under present circumstances it was
necessary to proclaim a constitution immediately.
This the King did by a decree published on the 29th
ult. The decree, of which we give a translation,
contains the bases of a pr(jected constitution, which
within ten days after is to be submitted to the royal
Hpyrooation. It will be observed that the new con-
stitution accords two Chambers, the inviolability of theßing, the responsibility of Ministers, the liberty'
of the press, arid a national guard. But it does not
allow liberty of conscience and worship in religious
matters.
The following is the decree :
" Naples, 29th January.
"Ferdinand 11., King of the Two Sicilies and of
Jerusalem, Duke of Parma and of Placentia, Krand
Hereditary Prince of Tuscany, &c. &c.,
" Having heard the general wish of our well.

in conformity with the present civilisation, we declare
that our will is to condescend to the desires which
have been manifested to us by giving a constitution,
and for that purpose we have cnarged our new M-
inister of State to present to our approbation, in a
period which must not exceed ten days, a project on
the following bases
The legislative power shall be exercised by us
-and by two Chambers, namely a Chamber of Peers

sovereigns and their families, as well as the honour
and interests of private individuals.
" In here notifying to the public our sovereign and
free resolution, we confide in the loyalty and good
sense of our people for the maintenance of the order
and respect due to the laws and constituted autho-
rities. (Signed) " FERDINAND.

In addition to what is given above from Palermo,
the following gleanings from the' Cittadin,o will be
read with interest :

" The people of Palermo," says that journal, " in
arms for a just cause, and strong in the success
which crowns their enterprise, might have extirpated
the Government even to the roots. They might have
followed the example of American independence, they
might have aspired to institutions radically demo-
cratic. They have not, however, done that, in order
not to place themselves iu opposition with the pro-
tenting nations, and not to exceed the limits of the
political rights of Europe. Thus the intentions of
the people are just and honest, and as such they can
maintain them in the face of the policy of all
nations."

The town of Palermo has been divided into eight
military quarters, in each of which there are a chief
and two sub-chiefs, who are charged to organise all
able men into companies, one portion of which are to

guns the double of those with swords. A quarter-
general was established, at which reinforcements
could be obtained. Recompenses in money and
honours were to be given to the men who distin-
guished themselves. The tricolour flag, surmounted
by an eagle, were to be confided to the bravest men
in each quarter, and at the quarter-general.
We have stated above that the junta was divided
into two sections—one of defence, the other of admi-
nistration. The section of defence consists of the Prince
• de Pantelleria, M. Jacona:i, M. Colons, M. La Masa, M.
Ilivona, Burgio• tiorita; M. Castiglia, and M.
Crispi, secretary. ar lie following gentlemen form the

M. Casein, M. Critics, Prince de Gramtnonte, 11.
Palizzolo, and M. Minnelli, see. ; M. Bentivegnu,
anti M. Farinella, vice sec. In the proclamations
publi,hed by the junta, the 113111 E'S of several of the
insurgents who have most distinguished themselves
by their bravery are given, accompanied with some-
what enthusiastic laudation. Particular mention is
made of a lady of distinction named .\laria Testa di
Lana, who had assumed male attire, taken the corn-
mand of a detachment, and fought for the country. The
Pretor of Palermo had caused all the depots of corn
to be publicly sold. Ile previously disposed of his
own corn at a moderate rate, and Baron 'rases. Mas-
trogiovanni had followed his example. The general
committee addressed an appeal to the clergy, to re-
open the churches, celebrate the usual offices of reli-
gion, and encourage the people to show their love for
the country. The Princess Scordia had offered to
attend on the wounded in the hospitals, and to dress
their wounds. The Duchesses de Monteleone and
Gualtieri had made similar offers, and it was not
doubted that all ladies of rank in the island would
imitate them.

To show the disinterestedness of the Sicilians, the
committee had published a letter from M. Fardella,
in which he modestly disclaimed the honour which
had been erroneously ascribed to him, of having been
one of the young men who composed the provisional
committee of the 12th. Ile could not, he said, con-
sent to receive any share in an honour which belonged
wholly to others; but he hoped by his own actions to
attain distinction, and he was ready to sacrifice his
life for his country. The following correspondence
between the Duke de .Majo and the general com-
mittee had been published for the information of the
people :

" TO THE PRETOR OP PALERMO.

" Most Excellent Marquis, I send to your Excel-
lency a distinguished officer, Major Ascensa Spada-
fora, who is charged to inform you of the events of
yesterday and the day before, in order that the
people may know how the troops have conducted
themselves towards the citizens, and rice versa. Be-
lieve me to feel towards you sentiments of esteem and
consideration.

" DUKE DE MAJO.

" Palermo, 23d January."
The reply was as follows :
" The general committee has read the note of your
Excellency, which Major Ascenso has remitted to
me. The committee charges me to inform you that,
when we shall have gloriously terminated our present
struggle, history will know what judgment to pass
on the conduct of both parties. Accept the assurance
of my most distinguished esteem.
" MARQUIS SPEDALOTTO,
" Preter of Palermo.

by causing their names to be inserted in the margin of
