DENMARK.

A Berlin journal, of the 13th, states that the ne-
gotiations between Prussia and Denmark, for the
suppression of the Sound duties, has been broken off.
Tha Copenhagen journals continue to assert that the
Government of the United States has sent a strong
note to the Danish Ministry, demanding the sup-
pression of those duties.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Copenhagen, 12th :—" The Ministry is in great
embarrassment. The Northern Powers continue
very obstinate in their pretensions. Reliance
is still placed on England ; but the Flyveposten
announces that it results from a report made by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a secret sitting of the
Landthing, that England is not better disposed than
Prussia, Austria, and Russia. The secret sittings of
the Landthiog have been closed, as well as those of
the Volksthing, by the declaration of the Government
that it will immediately present a programme. M. de
BcKlesco has arrived with important dispatches for
the Russian ambassador; his mission will probably
not be more agreeable than the contents of the last
note of Lord Palmerston, spoken of by the Flyve-
posten."

The varied state or condition of the climate in this
country affecting es it does the general health of the
inhabitants, particularly the invalid classes of society,
is a subject that has not received that scientific in-
vestigation which so important a matter may be
supposed to require ; indeed, little or nothing has
hitherto been done towards ascertaining specifi-
cally the causes of such variations. Elevation, foliage,
or Contiguity to the sea, together with such local shields
that protect from the northern or easterly winds,
were deemed quite sufficient for the estimate of
v±tern,atoe; whilst a little refleiition must convince any
one how very superficial such a knowledge of climate
