Tiie new Prewssische Zeitung states that the dif•
ferences respecting the boundary lines between the
Duchies of Holstein and Schleswig are likely to be
referred to arbitration to some Government not con•
corned in the question, and that the selection will be
from the three Governments of Naples, Portugal, and
Spain.
The Cologne Gazette has been fined 50 thalers for
publishing one of Elibu Burritt'a " Olive Leaves"
against " Military Pomp." It was ruled to come
within the statute against " turning the measures of
the Government into contempt." The same " Leaf"
has been published at Berlin, and even at Vienna,
without notice.

THE BOROUGH Or MARYLEBONE AND THE CITY
or WESTMINSTER. —We are requested to state that not only is
the borough of Marylebone about to take the initiative in
the shape of a demonstration in favour of Lord Palmerston.
but that the citizens of Westminster, of the Liberal party,
indignant at the unfair treatment which they conceive the
late Foreign Secretary has received, are about to get up a
requisition to the Noble Viscount to stand for that ancient
city at the next election. With regard to the borough of
Marylebone, communications are about to be forwarded to
Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., asking
their advice as to the best mode of proceeding, and requesting
their attendance when the demonstration takes place. The
feeling seems very general in favour of Lord Palmerston.—

LORD PALMERSTON AND LORD GRANVILLE.—One
of those coincidences in which curious people are prone to
indulge is to be found in the mottoes attached to the coat of
arms of the families of Lord Palmerston and Lord Granville
The device of the ex-Secretary for Foreign Affairs is "Flecti
non Frangi," while that of the Foreign Secretary is "Frangas,
non Flestes.' The similarity in sound, and opposition in
sense, of those two mottoes of the respective noble houses to
which our late and present Foreign Secretaries belong, will
strike at once the curious in such matter, when it is con-
sidered how these devices were selected long ago by the found-
ers of those families, when the present events could scarcely
have presented themselves to their imagination. The inge-
nious will further amuse themselves by making the applica-
tion to the case of the accomplished nobleman, who may have
" bent" to rise again, but who may not yet be " broken."—

AN ILLICIT STILL DISCOVERED EY A FIRE.—On
Saturday a fire broke out at No. 6, Duke-street, Rosemary-
lane. The premises ware let out in tenements, and the back
room on the ground floor was used as an illicit distillery.
Whilst the parties were engaged in their clandestine business
the still boiled over, and the floor of the rosin was covered
with a sheet of fire. The lodgers up stairs had great diffi-
culty in saving their lives. The brigade engine from Well-
close-square promptly attended, and the flames were at length
subdued, but not until considerable damage was done to the
premises and their contents. During the confusion which
prevailed at the commencement:ot the fire;the parties who had
thus been defrauding the revenue managed to get clear off.
THE RAWMARSH COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—A sub-
scription has been commenced by the Rev. Mr. Mahon, in-
cumbent of Rawmarsh, in aid of the widows and orphans of
the men who perished by the explosion on Saturday week,
when 50 lives were lost. Dlessrs. Charlesworth, the lessees
of the colliery, have given 2501., and Mr. J. C. D. Charles-
worth 501. There is, perhaps, no district of similar extent
in any portion of the kingdom which has been the scene of
such frequent disasters and involving so great a sacrifice of
life as the tract of country comprised within a circuit of five
miles of Rawmarsh. To go back only ten years, we find
that during this comparatively short period five accidents

sacrificed. In July, 1841, fur instance, 50 lives were lost at
