THE LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 33 1850.

Denmark and the Germanic Confederation may
be now regarded as virtually brought to a conclusion,
through the instrumentality of the chief of the Great
Powers of Christendom. According to the dccision
of the important document already reverted to as
having been signed last evening, under the supervi-
sion of Viscount PALMERSTON, the conflicting
claims of the Duchies have been reconciled,
and the integrity of the dominions subject
to the sway of the Danish Monarchy boldly and de-
finitively indicated. That integrity, it will be re-
membered by our readers, we have repeatedly shown
to be jeopardised by the infamous egressions of Prus-
sia and her political accomplices in the Confederation,
our arguments on this head having been reiterated
during upwards of the thirty months last past succes-
ively. Throughout that period we have vigilantly
watched the movements of the opposing armies as
they have oscillated between the northern and southern
boundaries of Jutland, maintaining, ►meanwhile, an un-
interrupted scrutiny of the course pursued by the
antagonistic diplomatists. Be it observed, moreover,
to the honour of our Liberal contemporaries, scarcely
a journal amongst the metropolitan or provincial press
has failed to advocate the cause of justice, identified,
as it was, with the rights of Denmark, or to contemn
the unrighteous proceedings of the Berlin Govern-
ment and of the other Cabinets implicated with the
Schleswig-Holstein insurgents. None, in fact, of the
Liberal journalists of England have sympathised
with the lawless assailants of an ancient and
independent sovereignty like Denmark, except
such as have been bitten with the phobia
of the arbitration movement, and whose judg-
ments have consequently been distorted by prejudice.
For ourselves, we have preserved throughout a scru-
pulous regard to the logic of facts, those facts being
furnished by the pages of history and by the usages
recognized from an almost immemorial antiquity.
Foremost among those facts is the circumstance that
the southern boundary of the peninsular dominion
of Denmark has for centuries, from the'sitys of the
CSAARS downwards, been that river Eyder, -which
the Prussian soldiers have dared to cross in their
most flagitious movement of aggression, and over
which they are now being driven hack ignominiously
by the terrors of Danish patriotism. The existence,
during so many bygone ages up to the present pe-
riod, of the distinct line of demarcation between the
Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein—between the
Scandinavian Duchy of Schleswig and the Germanic
Duchy of Holstein, a line of demarcation indicating
at once the boundary of the Danish territories and of
the territories of the Confederation—we have illustrated
.(so often as to have rendered the quotation hack-
neyed) by the motto inscribed on the oldest maps of
Europe, " Eydera Germani terminus imperii." At
that river we have shown that the dominion of Ger-
many has ceased. From the Eyder northwards, we
have seen that the Jutland peninsula has always ap-
pertained to the Danish sovereignty. We have re-
cognized the fact proclaimed by the voice of history,
that Schleswig itself has for many long centuries
been not an appendage of Denmark, but an
integral portion of its dominions. Knowing these
things, our judgment has revolted from anything like
respect for the conduct of the Prussian Government
in aiding and abetting the insurgents of the Duchy
of Holstein in striving to effect their association with
their Scandinavian neighbours. The adventure has
glared upon us from first to last in its full atrocity as
a mendacious endeavour to commence the dismember-
ment of the Danish dominions.

A very simple comparison will tend to illus-
trate more clearly than any more serious argu-
ment the gross injustice and crass stupidity of
hose proceeding; on the part of the Confederation.
The conduct of Prussia and its associatQs, in joining
with Holstein in its effort to unite itself with
Schleswig, and thereby to rend that Duchy from the
dominions of the King of DENMARK, is as
monstrous and unjustifiable as if France were to con-
spire with the Channel Islands in an endeavour to
seize the Isle of Wight, and thereby to violate the
integrity of the dominions of Great Britain. Jersey,
Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark belong to England
after the same fashion that Holstein belongs to Den-
mark.. Schleswig at the same time is as completely
an integral portion of Denmark as the Isle of Wight
is an integral portion of England. Consequently,
when the Ilolsteiners are struggling to wrest Schles-
wig from its intimate union with Denmark, aided in
that struggle by the military force of the -German
Confederation, it is as shameless and detestable a
violation of all justice as if the inhabitants of the
Channel Islands were struggling to %rest the Isle of
Wight from its intimate union with Englund, aided
in that struggle by the military force of the French
Republic.
Recognising thus clearly the goodness of the claims
of Denmark, we exult in the present approximation
of its difficulties to a satisfactory settlement, partly
through the valour of its patriotic soldiers, partly
through the adroitness of the European Plenipoten-
tiaries, almost simultaneously by the signing of the
protocol in London and the gaining of the victory at
Idstedt. Should no unforeseen calamity arise as an
obstruction, the Schleswig-Holstein question will
very soon be resolved into a permanent reconciliation
of the belligerents; while England, Russia, France,
and Sweden will stand pledged to maintain the inte-
grity of the Danish sovereignty.

"If the law supposes that," said Mr. BUMBLE,
squeezing his hat emphatically in both hands, " the
law is a ass—a idiot. If that is the eye of the law,
the law is a bachelor, and the worst I wish the law
is, that his eye may be opened by experience—by
experience." Mr. BUMBLE was right, the law is in
many respects " a ass—a idiot,"_ and in none is
its deficiency more painfully apparent than in the
law of husband and wife. A case was decided on
Tuesday in the House of Lords, on appeal from the
Court of Session in Scotland, that affords the most
powerful illustration of its gross absurdity, and tempts
us to wish, with the "parochial functionary," that so
far as the question of legal cruelty be concerned
"the eye of the law may be opened by experience
—by experience."

The case was one in which the husband appealed
against the decree of the Scotch Court which pro-
nounced that his wife was entitled to a separation
a mensii et thoro, and to a suitable alimony. This
judgment was founded on a course of conduct on the
part of the appellant to his unfortunate wife, which,
in whatever light it might be regarded by " the eye
of the law," could only appear to -" the eye of reason
and common sense " as being infinitely more painful
and heartrending to the respondent than
such a degree of " personal violence," or
" threat of personal violence,", as would
undoubtedly constitute an act or acts cf " legal
cruelty" sufficient to warrant a partial divorce from
bed and board, and to afford the deeply• injured lady
a perfect right to withdraw herself from under the
roof where she had been treated with such gross con-
tumely,by the ,jean, who at the altar of GOD had
vowed " to love and cherish her until death did them
part."

Without entering into the statements contained
in " the..summons of separation," or the evidence by

where her friends and relation' '
els her to remain
s were forbidden to
come—where he treated her, to use his
own words,
with " an involuntary avoidance and.eold "
nese —where
he was aware that " she neither was nor could be '
happy." He would refuse his absent to a formal
separation, although he acknowledged " that they
were as much separated as if she were living under
the roof of her parents"—that they had " separate
apartments, separate feelings, and (he might add)
Under such circumstances there
separate interests."
could surely be no difficulty in assenting to his own
proposition that such a separation was "far more dis-
creditable than if distance were added." Ile would
keep her under his own roof, arid forbid her to reside,
we will not say where she might have a prospect of
happiness, for of that there could be but little pro-
bability under any possible circumstances, but where
her misery might be in some degree alleviated—
where other friends might in some degree compensate i
for the cold-blooded negligence of one who should 1
, be " all the world to her," and where she might be
spared the " scorn, contempt, or pity" of her very
`servants, some of which feelings must be excited at

witnessing the continued indignities, indignities most
galli:Jg to the heart of a high-minded and sensitive
fe ale.

There was no charge against the unfortunate lady
of misconduct on her part to justify such conduct.
It did not proceed from any c:iuses arising atter the
indissoluble knot had been tied. The appellant him-
self, within a few months after the marriage, stated, in
a letter to his father-in-law, " that there exists now,
as at all previous times, an involuntary avoidance and
coldness, I cannot deny—everything she does is so
distasteful to me that I almost imperceptibly shrink
from those attentions that may be expected from me;"
and in a subsequent part of the same communication
he declared that her family " were witnesses to the
same cold avoidance before his marriage which then
characterised his conduct, and which was so plainly
and so broadly indicated to ELIZABETH (the respon-
dent) herself, that she must have possessed more than
ordinary resolution to encounter that which evi-
dently lay in her path."

Under such circumstances, it appears by no means
extraordinary that the deeply injured lady should
have felt herself compelled to quit her husband's
house, after enduring such avoidance and cold-
ness for near eight calendar months, that
thus partially abandoned by her husband, she
should hava sought the protection of her parent.
What alternative then remained ? She could scarcely
be expected to linger out her years in hopeless misery,
receiving with grateful humility the food that was
doled out to her at the scene of her unspeakable
wretchedness. Stripes and bitter reproaches would
be preferable to the mental agony she endured. In
one case some faint hope of amendment might be en-
tertained. She might indulge the fond expectation of
regaining the affections of her husband by her
patient and unrepining suffering; she might
occasionally have some intervals of relief, but, as
it was, the torture of mind was incessant. There
was nothing, not a single moment of felicity,
to break the monotony of her miserable existence.
We.do not charge the appellant with being actuated
solely by a desire to cause her vexation and annoy-
ance, but, in our opinion, the most r.fined cruelty
could not devise a course better calculated to attain
that end

If, then, she were justified in leaving her husband, it
followed, as a matter of course, that be was bound to
provide her with the means of existence which should
be proportioned to his own pecuniary resources. This
is in accordance with the entire course of judicial
decisions. .91 person who had given her credit for
necessaries would be entitled to recover
the amount from her husband, and it ap-
pears almost a necessary consequence that,
if he be bound to discharge her debts, he should,
in like manner, be bound to afford her the means of
livelihood, without forcing her to contract such lia-
bilities. The House of Lords has, however, decided
otherwise. It has reversed the decree of the Court of
Session in Scotland, and thus virtually decided that,
provided a man does not commit or threaten a per-
sonal assault, or use gross and infamous language to-
wards his wife, he may render her life miserable, and
breakher heart according to law with impunity.
We do not allude to this extremely painful case for
the purpose of hurting the feelings of the parties con•
cerned, whose names we have studiously abstained
from repeating, or 'of impeaching the judgment of
Lord BROUGHAM and his fellow Peers. We fear that
the latter is but too well founded, that it is in ac-
cordance with the recognised law of the land. But
we do so for the purpose of demanding an alteration
of that law, of insisting upon some reasonable pro-
tection fur injured females. Tae case is undoubtedly
of a very singular character, and there is a legal
maxim that " hard cases make bad precedents."
The Roman law had no punishment fur parricide, be-
cause it was not supposed that such a crime was
within the bounds of possibility. But, as it now
appears that there may be conduct sufficient to drive
a wife from her home without what is termed " legal
cruelty" being resorted to, we repeat that a legal re-
medy should be provided. There is now a precedent
in the judgment of the highest tribunal in the
land, that must be respected, and overrule the de-
cisions of inferior courts in all similar cases. The
law may be considered as settled thereby, and, until
that law be changed, we fvel ourselves warranted in
adopting the language of the ex•beadle, and calling it
" a ass—a idiot ;" and we believe the community
in general will join with us in praying that " its eye
may be opened by experience—by experience."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They all, in accordance with the provisions of what
the Journal des Debats calls " the Law of hatred,"
bear a stamp.
The speculators and share-jobbers are much
alarmed by the unexpected success of the motion of
AI...COLFAVEU on the Nantes and Bourdeaux Rail way
Bill. When this Bill came on for discussion, ill.
COLFAVRU, who was one of the insurgents of June,
1848, who had been amnestied by the PRESIDENT,
moved that before proceeding further with the mea-
sure the Assembly should have laid before it a com-
plete list of the shareholders, in order to ascertain
who among its members were personally interested
in the matter. The ultra-Legitimatists joined the
Socialists in support of this proposition, which was
carried by a majority of 256 to 241.
The Prince DE CANINO, ex-President of the Roman
Republic, occupied the tribune of his cousin the
PRESIDENT of the French Republic at the Xational
Assembly on Thursday, to the great horror of " the
faithful," who call out for a Roman expedition in the
interior.

The Univers, as usual, brings out a new batch of
miracles.
We read,in the Bulletin de Paris—

" The President of the Republic has decided on visit-
ing the departments of the east and south-east ofFrance.
Lie 'will go to Strasbourg, Lyons, and the intermediate
towns, but it is nut yet decided whether. he will visit
Marseilles. The President will commence his journey
on the 15th inst." •

It is said that a Legitimatist plot has been dis-
covered, the object of which was to depose the Pan-
SIDENT, disperse the Assembly, and proclaim General
CHANGARNIER. Dictator until the return of HENRI V.

The press law seems to " plague its inventors"
much after the fashion of the electoral law. The
first journal that has been killed by the stamp duty
is the Narbonnais, one of the most violent of the
organs of the reactionary party in the south of
France.

The section of the Paris and Strasburg Railway
between Chalons and Vitry is to be opened in a few
days.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

There WAS a firm arid steady market for Cotton at
Liverpo,4 le•sterOay, the sales being estimated at 10,000
bales.—The Share Market was flat.

The changes in the position of the Bank of England
during the we.,lc, ending the 27th ultimo, are not ma-
terial. There would seem to be better employment for
money, as the notes out with the public represent a
larger suw. The bullion likewise has been trenched
upon, and there was a reduction of private deposits.
The balance to the credit of the Treasury is again in
the ascendant, and we may conclude that the influence
of the quarterly payments is over. It may appear
somewhat contradictory that the sum of the other
securities should be smaller, but the refunding of
loans, after the transfer books re-open, is customary.
Compared with the previous week, the particular changes
are as follows:

The dealings in foreign bills of exchange were, yes-
terday afternoon, to a moderate extent. The state of
credit in all the principal continental cities has very
sensibly improved within the last two or three months ;
and, should tranquillity be preserved, and the Govern-
ments evince an unequivocal desire to legislate more
in accordance with the times, mercantile enterprise and
financial confidence would attain a far higher position.
The doubt, however, still lurks in the mind, not alone of
thinking men, but of the great bulk of the population,
whether the concessions will be on anything like a corn•
prehensive basis, or whether even reaction may not be
the plainer feature. In France the restoration to a better
state of things has this year been wonderful, taking the
former and lengthened prostration into account ; and
the recovery speaks volumes for the resources of
the country, as well as the elastic and hope-
ful temperament of its inhabitants. The Bank
of France, according to the proposal of the
Government, is to resume specie payments, which
indeed, with the immense amount in its possession, and
the limited demand for bullion, it may safely do. We
doubt if there would be the least anxiety testified to
draw out the precious metals in exchange for notes. In
the German cities money is as abundant as here, but a
new disturbing element may be the Danish war, should
it be prolonged, or lead to political complications. Of
Italy we cannot speak so favourably ; credit is stronger,
certainly, but the revival is slow. Belgium, although,
like England, it has suffered partially from the late revo.
lutions, has maintained its position well, and progresses
less visibly with the favourable reaction of countries that
were more prostrated. Holland is in a similar care,
and of the Peninsular countries we can say but little, so
restricted has their trade become through their unwise
fiscal system. There will be a drawback, it is feared, this
season to the prosperity of some of the continental
states, from the reported deficient grain crops. Bills
dated 90 days were purchased yesterday afternoon at
25 57f to 62f ou Paris; at 13 10i to 11 on Hamburgh;
at 25 57i to 60 on Antwerp; and at 11 52 to 53 on
Trieste.

In the Estimates for Civil Services during the current
3 ear, we ai e glad to observe that the sum or 30,000/. is
proposed to be voted for affording rolirf to a certain ex-
tent to the depositors in the late Cuffe-street Savings%
bank in Dublin.

The exports of the precious mc tals from London dur-
ing the week to Thursday last were 125,000 ounces of
silver, chiefly to Belgium, and 4,135 ounces of gold.
The trade and navigation returns fir the month and
six months ending the 6th July are out this morning.
The exports stand for the following amounts:-
1849 1850.
Month ... .£5,323,466 ... 5,750,556
Six months 26,515,439 ... 31,778,504
This gives an increase of 427,0901. on the month, and
of 5,263,0651. on the six months, and arises upon all the
principal staples.
The imports of the month, to July 5, show a remark
able decrease in Coffee, but an increase, generally, in
Grain, Rum, Sze. Tea, Sugar, Tallow, Spices, and pro-
visions have been imported in smaller quantities than
last year, taking the month to July 5, and compared
with the like date in 1849.

The number of vessels employed in the foreign trade
has increased during the month from 483,938 to 505,880
tons, and outwards from the United Kingdom from
428,333 to 527,771 tons.

In Mining Shares this week business has not been
very activd, though good shares continue in request.
Business has been done in the following :—Among
other mines, East Wheal Rose, South Tolgus, Miry

t iNIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.

SUPPLY.
On the motion for bringing up the report of the Com-
mittee of Supply,
Mr. HUT pursuant to notice, called the attention of
the House to the publication and distribution of the his-
torical work called " Illonumenta Hi3torica Britannica,"
the price of which he contended should be reduced to the

Mr. C. LEWIS hoped that the reduction of price from
five guineas to two would be sufficient to make the work
accesiible to the public, and if not he trusted that the
subject would be taken into consideration by the Go-
vernment.

Af.er a few observations from Colonel Sibthorp, Mr.
Bernal, and Mr. a Thompson, the subject dropped.
Mr. HUTT gave notice that he would next session
call the attention of the House to the same subject.
The report of the Committee of Supply was then
brought up, and agreed to.
WAYS AND MEANS.
On bringing up the report of the Committee on Ways
and Mt an*,
Mr. FIUME informed the House that if he should live
till text session he would religiously attend to the esti-
mate, and refuse all votes that were proposed after
twelve o'clock at night. He should decline sitting in
any Committee, in order that he might be in his place
every night to watch closely the financial proceedings of
the Government, and he therefore took the opportunity
of giving them notice to be prepared in future with early
and accurate accounts. He advised them to reconsider
their estimates and eta the votes down to the lowest
figure, or they would find in him a rigorous and uncom-
promising opponent, but one always ready to agree to
those supplies which the wants of the public service
absolutely required.
Mr. BROTIIERTON said it was his intention also to
turn over a new leaf, as he found that when he gave the
Government an inch they took an ell, and he should pro-
pose the first thing next session, that the Speaker do
leave the chair every night at 12 o'clock, believing that
that course would induce Hon. Members who were fond
of speaking to economise time, and pay more attention
to the real business of the house.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex-
plained that the House had got in its possession already
both a detailed account and a summary of the whole ac-
counts.

Mr. COBDEN thought that many of those works
which had been begun in times of psnic should be
abandoned and discontinued as soon as possible. A sum
of 513,000/. was asked for to complete the harbour of
refuge and other works at Alderney, a sum which would
buy that island twice over.
Mr. HENLEY suggested that there should be a pro-
vision for the inspection of those works from time to
time.

The subject then dropped.
Tho report was then agreed to.
The Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill was read a third
time and passed..
The Fees (Court of Common Pleas, No. 2) Bill was
also read a third time and passed.
The National Gallery (Edinburgh) Bill passed
timiugh Committee.
The Spitalfields and Shorditch New Street Bill was
rt ad a second time.
The House then adjourned at Two o'clock.

HYDROrnomA.----A most distressing case of hydro-
phobia has recently occurred in Glasgow. The victim was
a young man employed by the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway Company, who was bitten about two months ago
by a terrier dog, while in the act of removing it from one of
t',,e carriages. The wound wasso slight that the poor fellow
paid no attention to it at the time, although desired by one
of the managers of the railway to consult a surgeon. Since
it healed, however, the idea haunted his mind that hydro-
phobia would be the result of the accident. About eight
days ago he complained of a numbness in his arm, which
increased until the feeling became painful ; but this was re-
moved temporarily by friction with a linament. On Friday
last the patient conplainel of a dryness in the throat, and
an inability to swallow fluids, when the family medical at-
tendant was called in, and he was put under treatment. Be
was censidered somewhat easier on Saturday night, but on
Sabbath mornirg he became much worse, and in the course
of the day the paroxysms incre,:sed in violence so much that
the efforts et three min were necessary to hold the poor suf-
ferer in bed. At half-past seven on `6unuay night death re-
lieveath.e unfortunate man from his agony.
