The Ministerial paper, the Dagbladet, of Copen
hagen, publishes the following :
" Various political foreign journals have circulated the
report that the heir presumptive of Denmark, his Royal
Highness Prince Christian, has recently visited Paris.
Others even attribute a special mission to the journey of :t
the Prince, stating that during his sojourn in Paris he had
an audience of the Emperor Napoleon 111., who made him
reassuring promises respecting Schleswig. These rumours
must arise from some error, of the origin of which we are et(
i gnorant, for his Royal Highness Prince Christian of Den- 2
mark has not visited Paris during the last year, so that sti
it is impossible he could have had an interview with the at'
Emperor."

The same journal announces the departure from et
Copenhagen of Baron d'Urgern-Sternberg, for et
nearly 15 years Russian envoy to the Court o"
Denmark, who is now appointed to Frankfort. He
is succeeded at Copenhagan by Baron Nicolai.
On Tuesday morning a sailor belonging to the
Royal Mail packet Trent fell from one of the masts on the
deck, a height of about 50 feet, and was killed. He has left
a wife and family.
The late King of Prussia seems to have been,

in many respects, a counterpart—though a refined one—of
our own James I. He had the same exalted notions of the
kingly power,--the same belief in the kingcraft as the first
of our Stuart sovereigns. True, that in place of Scotch
dogmatism and pragmatic self-conceit of the first James,
the chief characteristic of his mind was a kind of metaphy-
sical dreaminess. This only amounts to saying that he was
a German, in place of being a Scotch pedant. No doubt,
after all due allowance has been made for the different epochs
of history during which the two sovereigns lived, the Ger-
man was a man of more refined and cultivated intellect than
the Scotchman, and of a far purer moral life ; but in the
essentials of character they were the same. Had the Ger-
man been :Rector of the University at Bonn or Heidelberg,
and the Scotchnlan Provost of Aberdeen, the probability is
that each would have acquitted himself respectably enough
of his duty in life ; but, as kings, they were decided failures.
—Once a Week.
" Strange to say," observes the Bury and Norwich
Post, " Lord Brougham, the eldest living champion of the
negro, in declining to attend the Boston Convention' on
the anniversary of the death of Capt. Brown, states that the
decision, that as soon as a slave sets foot on English ground
he is flee,' is erroneously ascribed to English courts under
Lord Mansfield, and was really made by the judges in Scot-
land. The great case of the negro Somerset was brought
before Lord Mansfield, assisted by Judges Ashton, Willes,
and Ashurst, in 1772, and after three sittings the law was
dechired as above stated. The veteran lord's mistake is the
more singular, that in the Edinburgh Review for ISoB,with
which he was so nearly connected, we find this case referred
to, with the remark—' Amon the heroes and sages of Bri-
tish story we can think of few whom we should feel a greater
glow of honest pride in claiming as an ancestor, than the man
(Granville Sharp) to whom we owe the power of repeating
'With truth :
6 Slaves cannot breathe in England ; if their lungs
Receive Plir air, that moment they are free,' " ao.
