GERMANY.

The Post- Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the 29th,
states that only one of the Prussian Plenipotentiaries
at the conference, M. MATHIS, has been recalled, and
that even this recall is not considered definitive. A
subscription had been opened at Frankfort in favour
of the Schleswig-Holsteiners, and had produced 4,000
florins.

The Berlin State Gazette, of the 29th, publishes
a note addressed by the Prussian Cabinet to the
Governments of the Germanic Confederation on
the subject of the treaty of peace with Den-
mark. After reciting the facts which preceded
this treaty, the note states that Prussia could not
advise the resumption of hostilities in a case in
which all Europe, with the exception of Germany,
was on the side of Denmark, and what would
probably lead to an armed European intervention.
The note then goes on to state that the treaty reserves
the rights of the Duchies, as far as they are under
the protection of the Germanic Confederation, but
that it is for the Duchies themselves to come to an
arrangement with Denmark on the subject.
It is stated, in a letter from Berlin of the 29th, that
negotiations have been entered into for the prolonga-
tion of the period fixed for the ratification of the treaty
of peace of the 2d July.
The Cologne Gazette states from Berlin that a
committee has been formed there, at the head of which
are several distinguished men of all parties, to pro-
vide the ,means of giving assistance to Schleswig-
Holstein.
A letter from Vienna, 25th inst., in the Debats
says :—" I have this morning received the informa-
tion that the fourth corps d'arm6e now cantoned in
Bohemia will shortly be disbanded. This will send
the fourth battalion of each regiment to their homes.
The Council of Ministers has also discussed the ques-
tion of granting an amnesty to 40 political prisoners,
Austrians by birth, and consequently more seriously
compromised than by the others. The amnesty, if it
be granted, will be proclaimed on the 18th August,
the anniversary of the birth of the EMPEROR. Other
acts of clemency will, it is positively stated, sig-
nalise this anniversary, when the raising of the state
of siege is also expected; that event, however, will be
preceded by a new decree on the press."
It is rumoured in Berlin that Russia has sent a
circular note to the different European Governments
declaring that the EMPEROR regards the present diffi-
culties as capable of no solution, but a recurrence to
the treaties of 1815, and announcing his intention, in
accordance with those treaties, to aid the King of
DENMARK in his endeavours to incorporate Schleswig
in the Danish monarchy.

SALARIES COMMITTEE.

Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the Chairman of "this
Committee why its report had not been printed yet ?
Mr. W. BATTEN said the report had been laid on the
table, but still he could not answer the question.
THE NATIONAL BALANCE SHEET.

Mr. CARDWELL wished to know if the Chancellor
of the Exchequer had any objection to lay his balance
sheet on the table.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had
none what-ver.
THE NATIONAL LAND SCHEME.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR wished to ask the Secretary of the
Treasury an important question. A man named Somer-
ville, who called himself " A Whistler at the Plough,"
and who had been discharged from the army for mis-
conduct, had recently published a circular, addressed to
the Manchester school, with reference to the land
scheme, in which he stated the enormous expense he had
been put to for the purpose of putting it down. The
only remuneration however he had received for all his
trouble was a sum of money which he received from the
Hon. Secretary to the Treasury for preparing a history
of the Land Scheme and the bank, for the pri-
vate use of the chairman of the committee
appointed to investigate the nature and origin
of the company. Now he wished to ask the Right lion.
Gentleman whether the money came from his own pocket
or from the secret service fund.

Sir G. HAY TER said although the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman bad given him no notice of the question, he
had a sufficient recollection of the circumstances to
enable him to answer. The Hon. and Learned Gentle-
man had attempted to throw discredit upon the person
to whom he refers, and whom he believed to be quite as
respectable as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman himself.
—(Cheers.) The man was never discharged from the
army, and although this had nothing to do with the
question, he maintained that Mr. Somerville purchased
his discharge from the army. It was true that he sup-
plied him with some information on the subject of the
Land Scheme, the collection of which cccupied more
time than he could afford to devote to the matter with-
out remuneration, and he certainly did remunerate him
for his trouble, not, however, as the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had insinuated out of the Secret Ser-
vice Fund, but out of his own purse.—(Cheers.)
Mr. liliME bore his testimony to Mr. Somerville's
good character, and that his conduct since he left the
army had been highly to his credit.—(Hear, hear.)

LAND TAX.

Mr. WODEHOUSE put a question to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to introduce any measure for the
purpose- of remedying the inequalities of the present
land tax, as regards that portion of the tax
which remains unredeemed, and which were particularly
adverted to by the Chairman of the Board of Inland
Revenue, Mr. John Wood, in his evidence before a
Committee of the House of Lords in 1846); or. for
amending the present state of the law with regard to ap-
peals from the Commissioners, by giving a right of
appeal to oue of the superior courts.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that when the land-tax was first imposed, it was
laid equally on all the property of the kingdom,
but by lapse of time it had necessarily operated very un-
equally. It was not, at present, the intention of the Go-
vernment to bring in any measure to remedy the inequality

THURSDAY EVENING,

a further advance.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--.The chief inquiries in our
Piece-hall, to-day, were for damasks and low lastings,
neither of which kind of goods is to be readily ob-
tained, p3rdy from the current prices not being re-
munerative, and partly from the difficulty of obtaining
warps for those descriptions. The yarn trade is very
active, at improving rases; but, as regards low welts,
the merchants seem desirous to realise their late pur-
chases before they give out new orders. There is not
very much doing in wool, as the spinners purchase
sparingly, and take the advantage of making their se-
lections from the large stocks in the markets.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter from Hamburgh of the 28th, in the in-
dependence of Brussels, says :—" Up to four o'clock
yesterday afternoon the Danish army had not crossed
the Eider, which separates Schleswig from Holstein.
This river is so rapid and deep that it can be navi-
gated by sea-going ships. The day after the battle
of the 25th General DE KROGH, commander-in-chief
of the Danish army, caused an armistice to be pro-
posed, in order that he might wait the receipt of the
.""" a "'ucio n.' Copenhagen relative 4- ,tie inva-
sion of Holstein by the victorious army. A negative
reply was returned by General DE WILLISEN.
Everything causes it to be supposed that the war
will very shortly be carried into that pro.
vince. The fortress of Rendsburg, which is situated
on the Eider, is completely armed, and stored for
eighteen months. It presents a formidable point
d appui and of defence. Men and materiel of all
kinds continue to flow into Holstein. The army may
be able again to resume the offensive, unless, by
means of combined attacks by sea and land the
Danish General should in a few days carry the war to
the very heart of Holstein. Amidst the general con-
fusion, and the alarm caused by the shock of the two
armies, on the 24th and 25th,
,the appearance of an
English fleet in the waters of Schleswig was an•
Pounced. At present it is known that it is a second
Russian fleet, from Cronstadt, which has arrived. I
think I can affirm that up to this day the Russian na-
val forces have not taken the least part in the com-
bat. This is important to state in consequence of
the new diplomatic attitude of France and England.
The Russian steamers and light vessels have only
been employed to convey a part of the Danish
army and war materiel into Schleswig. The
emotion caused in all northern Germany by the
disaster which has befallen the army of Holstein in-
creases every day. In Oldenburg and Brunswick, it
is with great difficulty that the troops and populations
can be prevented from marching to the assistance of
those they call their brothers of Holstein. Should
these popular demonstrations continue in the north,
they may compromise the peace of the interior. A
considerable number of the inhabitants of Hano-
ver, accompanied by a great number of soldiers,
unarmed, assembled yesterday, and after forming
committees of assistance, sent a deputation to the
KING, praying him in the name of the capital to send
a corps of the national troops to Holstein. The
KING, as a German Sovereign, expressed his sym-
pathies for Holstein, and said that it ought to con-
tinue, as before the revolution, to form part of the
Germanic Confederation. It is expected, from the
excitement which prevails, that similar popular de-
monstrations will be made in the Grand Duchies of
Mecklenburgh, and the northern provinces of Prussia,
and it will be difficult for the Governments to calm
them and neutralise the consequences."

Russian fleet, from Cronstadt, which has arrived. I
think I can affirm that up to this day the Russian na-
val forces have not taken the leas t part in the com-
bat. This is important to state in consequence of
the new diplomatic attitude of France and England.
The Russian steamers and light vessels have only
been employed to convey a p irt of the Danish
army and war materiel into Schleswig. The
emotion caused in all northern Germany by the
disaster which has befallen the army of Holstein in-
creases every day. In Oldenburg and Brunswick, it
is with great difficulty that the troops and populations
can be prevented from marching to the assistance of
those they call their brothers of Holstein. Should
these popular demonstrations continue in the north,
they may compromise the peace of the interior. A
considerable number of the inhabitants of Hano-
ver, accompanied by a great number of soldiers,
unarmed, assembled yesterday, and after forming
committees of assistance, sent n deputation to the
KING, praying him in the name of the capital to send
a corps of the national troops to Holstein. The
Km:, as a German Sovereign, expressed his sym-
pathies for Holstein, and said that it ought to con-
tinue, as before the revolution, to form part of the
Germanic Confederation. It is expected, from the
excitement which prevails, that s;'.milar popular de-
monstrations will be made in the Grand Duchies of
Mecklenburgh, and the northern provinces of Prussia,
and it will be difficult for the Governments to calm
them and neutralise the consequences."

MAGAZINE DAY
BLACK WOOD.

Fe ith&ut bei 'g particularly diversified in subject,
the contributions to the August number of Black
wood are sufficiently various to present attractions to
the habitual readers of the first of all the monthly
periodicals. Pursuing its old course as a staunch
Protectionist organ, Msga battles ;gain right gal-
Llntly against its sm,-, rn foes, "Free Trade and our
Cotton Manufactures." Even when our sympathies
are entirely in the oppo.-ite direction we cannot fail
to admire the ability, adroitness, and undaunted re-
solution with which the principal advocate of the
cause 'of the agriculturists argues for the restoration
of the abandoned system, and comes forward yet
once more to break a lance with the apostles of
the new political economy. A cursory paragraph
in a literary notice of a magazine, such
as our present notice of Blackwood, is scarcely the
fitting opportunity for an argument as comprehensive
and important as that entered upon in the opening
paper to this number for August. At this moment
we can do no more than refer the article in question
as one worthy of an attentive perusal, and yet as one
to our mind capable of a detailed refutation. "Court-
ship in the time of James the First," is a curiosity, in
many respects remarkable. It is well that the author
of the compilation sets forth at its very commence-
ment the assurance that his narrative is strictly au-
thentic, as otherwise the generality of readers might
very reasonably have fallen into the nation that
it was altogether fictitious. " Ledru Rollin on Eag-
land" is a deliciously sarcastic analysis of "La
Decadence d'Angleterre," a work as frivolous in its
philosophy as it is ungenerous in its whole character.
"A Family Feud," a translation from the German of
Godfrey Kinkel, affords a brilliant evidence of the
talent of that distinguished professor, whose abilities
have acquired him reputation without, as well as
within, the Bonn University. All lovers of art will
turn with pleasure to the chapter dedicated to
" Burnet's Landscape Painting in Oil," and all per-
sons interested in any way in the career of the late
Robert Plumer Ward, will derive gratification
from the :review of his memoirs here entitled
"Political and Literary Biography." To Lord
Brougham and Colonel Sibthorp, the lines headed
"The Temple of Folly," will sound agreeably,
and to scarcely any one else in the United Kingdom.
Two other criticisms, in addition to those already
particularised, remain unmentioned; one attractive to
all admirers of the adventurous, on "African Sport-
ing," the other on the "Baronial and Ecclesiastical
Antiquities of Scotland," presenting to all antiqua-
ries and architects a theme of scarcely resistible
fascination. Such are the contents of the Augus
number of Blackwood, a number interesting, if ii
cannot be strictly termed seasonable.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1850.

Thankfulness that the cholera has not revisited the
metropolis this summer should not be the only con-
sequence of our exemption from its devastating influ-
ences. A more sedulous attention to the necessities
of sanitary improvement should be the testimony of
our satisfaction. To act otherwise under the cir-
cumstances would be worse than culpable, it would
be folly and shortsightedness. Every year, immediately
after the prorogation of Parliament, taking advan-
tage of that lull which invariably succeeds the cessa-
tion of the toils of the Legislature, we endea-
vour to revive this most important subject to the re-
collection of the community. Our pertinacity
in so doing arises from a profound sense of
the chief responsibility devolving upon journalists, the
responsibility of perpetually directing public attention
to those topics out of the discussion of which may
come assurances of the popular advancement. Prac-
tically, of all such subjects there never has been one
more immediately calculated to secure benefit to the
population than that which is caniprised under the
title of the Sanitary Movement. In that movement
may be recognised even by the least discerning the
initial of a great change in the condition of the human
race. Heretofore so much regard had been had to the
spiritual and intellectual health of mankind as
almost entirely to exclude from consideration
the necessity of preserving in some systematic
manner the health of the physical part of humanity.
At least, whatever education was adventured upon in
respect to the multitude was restricted to the soul or
the intellect of our species, no regard being had to
that education of the body which is essential to the en-
joyment of existence, that education of the body which
is required moreover for the perfect development of
mind and morality. A glimmering notion of this truth
is conveyed in the old classic axiom about the mens
zana in corpore sano, 1 ut its clear and accurate recog-
nition was reserved, it would appear, for the present
generation. It is now felt that the sound
mini and the sound bo ly are so mutually dependent
on each other that their ssparate development is in a
great measure impracticable. True that many men
of genius, like ALEXANDER POPE, have preserved
their intellect in uncommon splendour through a life
little better, to use the expressive phrase of Dr.
JogyisoN, than "one long disease." True, again,'

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Wright took his benefit last evening, and, as
might have been expected, the house was a bumper;
in fact it was as full as the most adroit packing could
cram it, and many persons went away unable to se-
cure admittance. Tne performances were Paul Pry,
The Spitolfelds Weaver, Domestic Economy, and
My Precious Betsy, in all of which Wright appears,
and is himself! , every inch himself! He acted
judiciously in selecting The Spitalfelds Weaver
for his benefit. It was the first piece in which he
appeared before a London audience, and in which he
at once assumed the high position which he has ever
since held. The character of Simmonds is, more-
over, not that of a mere farceur—it is a bit of genuine
comedy, and we should like to see Mr. Wright
appear more frequently in pieces of this nature,
which are much more wo:thy of his high
talents than many in which he too often
appears. He was excel!ently supported. The Adelie
of Miss Emma Harding was a beautiful specimen of
genteel comedy of a very high order. Miss Harding
has made a vast advance in her professional career by
her very ladylike and artistical delineation of this
character. The other performances went off with
great éclat, and the applause and laughter were
throughout vociferous.

ITALY.

Some of the Piedmontese journals say that the
French Government is disposed to act as medi ,tor in
the differences which have arisen between the Sar-
dinian Government and Rome.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th states that
friendly relations have been completely re-established
between the Sardinian Government and the Argen-
tine Republic.
The Piedmontese Government has just ordered the
expulsion from its territory of two Lombard refugees,
M. Munro Macchi, a writer in the Italia, and M.
Bianchi Giovini, a writer in the Opinione.

THE INUNDATIONS IN BELGIUM.
The Brussels journals of Tuesday announce that
the waters had entirely ceased that morning in the
city and the greater part of the faubourgs, and that
the inhabitants were engaged in emptying their cel-
lars. It was on Saturday night at nine o'clock
that the inundation ceased to rise. It remained
stationary some time, and then began slowly to de-
cline. At midnight on Saturday the fall was 4
centimetres ; at ten o'clock on Sunday night
10 centimetres, and at seven o'clock on Monday
morning it was 1 metre 13 centimetres. During the
inundation the Bourgmestre caused cart loads of bread
and fresh water to be conveyed to the populations of
the submerged quarters. In the evenings the gas
lamps could not be lighted, and torches were at-
tached to the pillars. On Sunday the waters rushed
from the Canal de Charleroi down the Rue de Flaudre
with the rapidity of a torrent. The damage done is
very considerable, but, on the whole, it appears that
fewer lives have been lost than might have been ex,
petted. Subscriptions have been opened for the re-
lief of the sufferers, and in several streets boxes have
been placed to receive contributions. Large crowds
had begun to visit the places in which the ravages had
been greatest. _

Leers from Louvain, Hal, Vilvorde, Beverne,
Melsele, Calloo, Doel, Kieldricht, Namur, Mons,
Marbes-le. Chateau, and innumerable other towns
and villages, give painful accounts of the damage
done by the floods. In some places howes have bean
thrown down, in others bridges carried away, in
others trees uprooted, in all crops and .property to
an immense amount destro:, ed. All the letters, how-
ever, represent that the floods were retiring.

which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays

GERMAN 'Y.

According to the Cologne Gazette, the intention
which the thvarian and Wurternhurg Governments
had of forming a corps of observation on the Loser
Maine, or the Central Rhine, has been abandoned for
the present. _ _ _

A: letter from Frankfort of the 15th says—" The
Prussian Government, fearing that the Customs
Union between Belgium and France which is spoken
of may be effected, has resolved to make some con-
cession to Belgium, and to renew its treaty of com-
merce with that country."
A letter from Berlin, of the 17th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says—" Yesterday our Government received
the invitation of the Cabinet of Vienna to send a
Minister to the restricted Federal Council. It is
unnecessary to say that Prussia refuses to accept the
invitation. In yesterday's sitting of the provision;.)
College Of the Princes the question of a war between
Prussia and Austria was discussed. Yet, notwith-
standing all this, it is believed that all will terminate
amicably."
The German Gazette of Vienna, of the 18th, says
that the corps d'artn6-3 of "Vorarlberg has received
orders to leave for Holstein, under the command of
the Archduke Albert.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter from Copenhagen of the 12th inst. gives
some further account of the modification of the Danish
Ministry. The Count de Moltke, lately Minister of
Foreign Affairs, remains President of the Council, a
post which he has occupied since 1848. The port-
folio of Foreign Affairs passes into the hands of M,
Reedlz de Palsgaard, well known in diplomatic mat-
ters, who, conjointly with M. de Pechlin, Danish Mi-
nister at the Diet of Frankfort, concluded last month
the treaty of peace with Prussia. M. D'laminger is
appointed Minister of Marine ad interim, and Count
de Reventlow-Ci itninil has the ad interim portfolio of
the Interior and of Justice.

Letters from Hambnrgh state that the inaction of
the armies is generally attributed to the efforts of the
envoys of the foreigu powers, who, it is said, have
been sent into the two camps to prevent the renewal
of hostilities.

The Cologne Gazette states, on the authority of a
letter from Lubeck, that orders had been sent by the
Russian Government to Cronstadt to have all the
vessels of war in that port immediately fitted out, and
sent on the 15th to join the fleet off the coast of Den-
mark.

The Precse states that severe order: have been is-

prints of a Monarchical or Legitimist tendency.
During the Ivit week, it says, more than 20,000 par-
traits of the Count de Chambord have been seized and
talitn to the Prefecture. It adds that the z.,al of the
police agents has been carried so far as to seize prints
representing Charles X. and Louis XVIII.
