THE DANISH QUESTION.

The Dagbladet, which is the Danish Government
organ, after recapitulating the whole of this ques-
tion, proposes as a solution two alternatives :
" There are only two means by which this fa-
tiguing Holstein question can be settled. It has
been said that nobody ever could quite understand
it, and we believe the assertion is correct. Yet
there is something in this dispute which appears so
clear, so ostensible, that it is perfectly easy to
make it comprehensible to every one.
" Either Holstein must continue to depend upon
the Federal jurisdiction, and, in such case, it is
indispensable to break between it and the rest of
the monarchy every link of constitutional com-
munity, so that it may only be connected.with Den-
mark by a personal union as an independent Duchy;
" Holstein must continue to be an organic
member of the Danish Monarchy; and, in such
case, it must cease to be subject to the Federal
jurisdiction, which will be an interminable source
of future conflicts, because it will always find in its
action on Holstein the means of re-acting upon the
whole monarchy.
" One of these two solutions must finally be
adopted. If the jurisdiction of the Confederation
ceases in Holstein, we have no doubt that the King
will succeed in passing measures which will satisfy
all his subjects—Danes as well as Germans.
" On the other hand, if Holstein ceases to partici-
pate in the common constitution and representation
of the monarchy, we Danes and Schleswigers will
not fail to agree in perfect unison, in the same way
that the idea will certainly never en ter our head to
meddle with what the Confederation may deem
it advisable to make as regards the internal govern-
ment of Holstein ; provided we are allowed to work
in peace, without being interrupted in the develop-
ment of our liberal and progressive reforms, we will
willingly concede to the Confederation the re-
establishment of the feudal age in Holstein."

MID-I CENT.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the lx,)ndon Tavern, Sir J. W.
Lubbock in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared
The sun, was taken a 5 read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the proprietors on the fa-
vourable state of the company's affairs. They had
gone on with their dividend every time a little
more until they could now• pay 5 per cent. Con-
sidering the small time that had elapsed since
the completion and ope.aing of their line for traffic
they must consider the result satisfactory. _ _

Mr. W. A. WiLmNsoN seconded the motion for
the adoption of the report, and it was agreed to.
A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
for the past half-year, free of income-tax, was
declared.

Mr. HANKEY said he resitied on the line, and con-
sidered the traffic was suffering from want of
sufficient accommodation and facilities.

Mr. -WILKINSON thought there was nothing to
complain of in that respect. They could not expect
to have a larger number of trains on the line until
they had a larger population.
The CHAIRMAN said everything had been done

that could be done by the South-Eastern Company
to develope the traffic. Additional trains had
been put on, and it was found there was no busi-
ness for them. He believed a very amicable feeling
existed on the part of the officials of the company
towards them. The directors had also met them in
a very proper way.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

FRANCE.

The Nouvelliste of Rouen publishes a piece of
news which may serve as a comment on the pam-
phlet of Viscount de la Guerronniere. "At the
same time," it says, " that the new pamphlet ap-
peared, M. Thouvenel addressed to the French
diplomatic agents abroad a circular intended to ex-
plain the motives which have decided the French
Government to leave its troops at Rome. Accord-
ing to the terms of this circular, France will con-
tinue to keep garrison in the Pontifical States until
a Congress shall have determined on the reorgani-
sation of Italy."
A ,Toulon letter has the following :—" It now
appears certain that an expedition to Cochin-China
has been decided on, in order to settle all questions
in dispute in those distant countries. The whole
difficulty consists in the efficacy of the means to be
employed. Many practical men are in favour of
taking advantage of the north-east monsoon to land
the Chinese expeditionary corps at about 10 miles
from Hue, and carry that capital by a vigorous
coup-de-main, and thus make a short and decisive
campaign. Others, more prudent, propose a re-
stricted and permanent occupation of four military
points, forming a quadrilatere, within which taxes
could be collected and the troops supported at
the cost of the enemy until these latter should
make up their minds to treat. In the opinion
of those who are acquainted with Cochin-China,
this latter project would be a deplorable one, for
if it required less troops to be carried into execu-
i tion, it would not become less disadvantageous,

THAMES HAVEN DOCK.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Royal Exchange-
buildings, Mr. Lowden in the chair.
The secretary, Mr. Collier, read the report, which
stated that, in pursuance of the directions of the
last general meeting, the Board had introduced into
Parliament a bill to authorize the abandonment of
the undertaking and the dissolution of the company.
The expenditure during the half year amounted to
£255, leaving a balance of £24.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said, the directors had introduced a bill
into Parliament for the winding-up of the company.
It was, however, true that Lord Redesdale wanted
to know why they should not make a new call, and
continue the company. He (the chairman) saw no
reason why they should not wind up the company
and divide the proceeds. The sea wall had taken
most of their money, and they had repaired it to
save their property, but he had no doubt that they
would get something for their outlay on the wall
when their affairs were wound up.
In reply to a question, it was stated that Me
amount of Parliamentary. expenses would depend
upon an opposition to the bill, but he (the chair-
man) did not think it would be opposed.
The report having been adopted,
Mr. BURDEN moved and Mr. HYAMS seconded a
resolution, to the effect that in the opinion of the
meeting the directors had exercised a sound discre—
tion in not making any calls, and in proceeding with
the abandonment of the undertaking.

The resolution was agreed to unanimously, and
the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to
the chairman.

FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST
RIDING,

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Saturday at Preston. Mr. W. D. Whitehead
presided, and moved the adoption of the re-
port. The gross receipts on revenue account
for the past half year amounted to £3,025, showing
an increase of £339 over the corresponding half of
1859 The working expenses for the same period
were less by £153. After deducting the interest
on mortgages there was £1,174 available for the
payment of a dividend, which the directors re-
commended to be at ls. 9d. per share, free from
income tax. The report was adopted, and a divi-
dend in accordance therewith was declared, after
which the retiring directors and an auditor were
re-elected, and the proceedings closed with a
vote of thanks to the chairman.

The Barrossa, steam corvette, 21, guns,
horse power, power, which left Woolwich for Sheerness
the
nonexl: rdiadyayfo,
forwas the takenpurpose of testing
and capabilities at the measured mile. The Bar-
rosa is a new and handsome vessel, lately launched
to the Nlaplin
her Sands
machinery
at -Woolwich and built from plans designed by Sir
Baldwin Walker, late Controller of the Navy.
She is a sister ship to Her Majesty's ship Jason.
Her length between perpendiculars is 22b feet
6 inches, her beam 40 feet 6 inches, and her ton-
nage, 1,650. Her engines are built by Messrs. Watts
and Son, of the Soho Works, Birmingham. The
trial, which lasted several hours, was under the
superintendence of Mr. Hall, master of her Ma-
jesty's ship Fisgard, Woolwich, and Mr. Partridge,
Staff engineer at Woolwich Dockyard. The firm
of Messrs. Watts and Son was represented by Mr.
Langford. During the trial the vessel was tested
in every manner, and found to work exceedingly
well, and with very little vibration. She attained
,an average speed of 121.9 knots per hour, giving a
draught of water forward of 15ft., and aft 17; mean
revolutions, 66 ; pressure of steam, 20 ; indicating
horse-power, 800 ; nominal horse-power, 400. She
is propelled by one of Griffith's screw propellers,
the diameter of which is 16ft., and the pitch 24ft.
The trial was satisfactory in its results. The
Barrosa will be placed in the steam reserve at
Sheerness.
The completion of the dry dock at Pembroke is
being urged on night and day, relays of men re-
lieving each other every 12 hours ; when finished
it will be capable of accommodating the largest ship
in the British Navy. A gradual reduction of the
establishment both of skilled artisans and labourers
is to take place at Pembroke: The number of men
now employed is about 1,300. The sum of £60,000
is to be expended on the new fortifications in the
bays to the South and at Scoveston up to th© Ist of
August next.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Capt. E. Heathcote to the
Ajax, vice Capt. Boyd, deceased; Capt. Sir F. L.
M'Clintock to the Doris, vice Capt. Heathcote;
Capt. C. F. A. Shadwell, to the Aboukir, vice Capt.
Curry; E. S. Richards, midshipman, to the Aboukir;
P. Steil, chief engineer, to the Fisgard, for charge
of the machinery of the Bristol; H. Houghton,

THAMES.

A REGtrLAR GAOL-BIRD. - Mary Donnelly, alias
li.c=arney, alias Sullivan, a masculine-looking woman, about
40 years of age, of very strong passions, and whu has been
in the practice of using remarkably strong language,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a
piece of beef, value 25., from the shop of Mr. Smith,
butcher, of Carlisle-street, IN hitechapel.

The prisoner has been committed from this court about
100 times for assaults, drunkenness, and disorderly con-
duct; and although a premium was actually given to her
to keep out of prison by some philanthropists, and every
possible attempt has been made to reform her, she has
proved to be irreclaimable, and has lately taken to dis-
honest courses. Last night she took a piece of beef from
Mr. Smith's shop-board, and ran away with it. A poor
Irish lad named Patrick McCarthy gave immediate infor-
mation of the robbery, and joined Mr. Smith's shopman in
the pursuit that was made after the prisoner, who was over-
taken in Mill-yard, and the beef she had stolen was taken
from under her shawl. She walked back to Mr. Smith's
shop with a police constable, No. 80 11, and she then took
up some mutton chops and pelted the butcher's wife with
them. It was with difficulty she was prevented doing
further harm to the butcher and his wife.

Mr. Yaidlcy to the gaoler—She has been hero before,
Roche?

Roche—Very often, sir.

The prisoner kept up a running commentary upon the
evidence, and occasionally abused the witnesses. When
Nlr. Bowdler, the second clerk, had completed the deposi-
tions, and read them, she was asked if she was guilty or
not guilty, or would elect to be tried at the sessions. She
exclaimed, " Settle it hare any how, and don't give me much
for that small piece of beef."

Mr. Yardley—Are you guilty or not guilty ?
The prisoner—Guilty, to be sure.
Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour.

The prisoner abused the magistrate, the gaoler, and the
witnesses in the most horrible manner directly she heard
the sentence, and said she was so much accustomed to im
prisonment that she could do three months on her head.

-Greenroom gossip mentions that a new and
original play by Mr. Craver, in which Mr. Robson has a
principal part, is in preparation at the Olympic.
Some idea of the extensive popularity enjoyed
by Meyerbeer's last opera, " Dinorah," may be formed
from the fact, that it has been represented in no less than
66 towns, 41 of which are in Germany, 18 in France, apd
the remainder in various parts of Europe.

MB XWAN BONDHOLDERS.

The following is from the Committee of Mexican
Bondholders. It is calculated, from the evidence
it gives of the efforts of the foreign Powers in the
interest of the Pope to aid the cause of the crimi-
nals who have just been overthrown, to increase the
regret long felt by all friends of civilization and
commerce at the neglect of our Foreign-office to
give moral support to the constitutional cause.
The disunion in tbeUnited States, of course, greatly
increases the audacity of those who desire a return
of anarchy in Mexico, and if their wishes should be
crowned with even partial success, and murder and
rapine again sweep the Republic, much of the re-
sponsibility will, with good reason, be thrown upon
the British Government :
" The committee have received a letter, via the 'United
States, from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 18th ult.
Senor Juarez made his entry into the capital on the 11th
ult., and a few days later passports were sent to the Spanish
Ambassador, the Pope's Nuncio, and the Ministers of
Guatemala and Ecuador on the general charge of h&ving

THE ROBBERY AND SUPPOSED MURDER AT FAL-
mount.—The mate has not been murdered as feared. It
appeared that on leaving the vessel to go on board the
Vicata he could not reach ber, but went on board another
vessel in the Cross Channel, where he remained until Thurs-
day evening, when the gale moderated, and he was taken
on board his own schooner, up to which time he knew
nothing whatever of what had happened. The names given
by the two prisoners ate fictitious; one of them, who en-
tered his name as Brown, of Exeter, appears to be a deserter
from the Royal Marines. His name is Jenkin Jones, of
Llanddewi, Cardigan; the other man (Ellis) belongs to
London, or near thereto. Tho apprentice boy is progress-

plain the motives which have decided the French
Government to leave its troops at Rome. Accord-
ing to the terms of this circular, France will con-
tinue to keep garrison in the Pontifical States until
a Congress shall have determined on the reorgani-
sation of Italy."

A Toulon letter has the following :—" It now
appears certain that an expedition to Cochin-China
has been decided on, in order to settle all questions
in dispute in those distant countries. The whole
difficulty consists in the efficacy of the means to be
employed. Many practical men are in favour of
taking advantage of the north-east monsoon to land
the Chinese expeditionary corps at about 10 miles
from Hue, and carry that capital by a vigorous
coup-de main, and thus make a short and decisive
campaign. Others, more prudent, propose a re-
stricted and permanent occupation of four military
points, forming a quadrilatere, within which taxes
could bo collected and the troops supported at
the cost of the enemy until these latter should
make up their minds to treat. In the opinion
of those who are acquainted with Cochin-China,
this latter project would be a deplorable one, for
if it required leas troops to be carried into execu-
tion, it would not become less disadvantagem.

THE INDIAN ARMY.
Lord WYNFORD asked the noble lord opposite (Earl
De Grey), with reference to the recent changes in the orga-
nisation of the Indian army, whether officers, when they
received an appointment to the staff corps in India, would
proceed immediately to take up their position in the army,
so that promotion might go on rapidly from the regiments
from which they had been withdrawn ?
Earl DE GREY said that, without being in a position to
explain the whole of the arrangements contemplated, it had
been decided that, whereas under the system existing pre-
vious to the proposed changes, officers appointed to the staff
corps had been left on the roll of their regiments,
toe same course would be, for the present, adopted, and
such opportunity would not be considered to create regi-
mental vacancies.

FREIVCLI ACA DE3II OF SCIENCES.

At the last sitting Dr. Jobert de Lamballe gave
an account of a most singular surgical operation
peformed by him, in the case of a soldier named
Gustin, aged 21, who had been wounded at an ad-
vanced post before the Malakoff tower in the Crimea.
A ball had penetrated through his forehead, mak-
ing a clean circular opening of the sizo of about a
one-franc piece; the man thus struck fell down
from the parapet, a height of seven feet, and was
taken to the nearest ambulance in a state of insensi-
bility, which lasted 24 hours. Eight days after he
was shipped off to Constantinople, where he staid
four months in a military hospital. However,
being well provided, it would seem, with the
organ of combativeness, he asked and obtained
permission to return to the Crimea, although his
wound was in full suppuration. He subsequently
fought at Traktir, and afterwards returned to
France, where he continued in the army, but
without being employed in any active service on
account of the state of his health, his wound still
suppurating as before. At length, in February,
1857, he entered the Hotel Dieu and placed him-
self under the care of Dr. Jobert, who, upon ex-
amination, found that a ball was still lodged
inside his skull ; this, with a variety of pre-
cautions, was successfully extracted, and the man
is now perfectly recovered. The ball had re-
mained in for the space of twenty-two month !
M. Gaudry sent in a paper on the excavations exe-
cuted by him in Greece by order of the Academy.
Among the numerous kinds of fossils discovered
by him at Pikermi, there are the hones of a nonde-
script kind of nntclope, to which he has given the
name of Palaeotragus Rouenii. The animitl must
have been a large one, but M. Gaudry has found a
still larger species, exceeding in size any of those
preserved in the Museum of Paris, and to which he
proposes to give the name of Palaeoryx. There is
a second, but a much smaller species of the same
genus, which, on account of its small teeth, he calls
Palaeoryx and . Parvidens. M. Prost sent in his
usual half-yearly account of the terrestrial trepi-
dations experienced at Nice up to the 31st of De-
cember last. A very intense one on the 25th of
August coincided with an earthquake in Saxony ;
one on the 22d of September, with an earthquake
at Broussa, and a third on the 22d of October, with
an earthquake at Algiers. .

BOOTS OF A GOOD MORAL CHARACTER.—An
advertisement says :—" Wanted a female who has a know-
ledge of fitting boots of a good moral character."
London, England, 1861-02-19

lion was

£4,297,756
showing a decrease in the same time of X 4,297,756.
And we must remember that at the time of the crisis
of 1857 the Bank was reproached for not meeting a
drain of bullion by stronger measures in an earlier
stage. This is exactly what it is now doing. And
not only is the loss of bullion in the same period
greater now than in 1856, but it appears to be due
to a variety of far more steadily operating causes.
For at least the last 16 months there has been a
steady tendency to a rise in the value of money—
which is not due to one cause alone but many—
causes which may be described as an increase of
general trade in the face of a bad harvest, a large
war expenditure, political uneasiness both in
Europe and America, and a large outlay on public
works in the East. With all these considerations
before them, we are disposed to think that the Bank
directors have exercised no undue caution, though
there is no feature about the new Bank return to
give the smallest ground for panic.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not he the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—
