The following extract from the Weiner Zeilunirb will
serve to throw some light upon the intentions of three
of the continental powers in regard to Germany :
" If a reform of the German Confederation in the
sense of the more reasonable demands of the age should
take place under the auspices of Austria it would re-
quire a re-organization of European policy, having for
its basis the political alliance of Austria, Russia, and
Prussia, which is adapted to the necessities of the times
(zeitgerniiis). It would then become the question
whether the battle against the revolution should be re-
gularly fought cut, or whether it should effectually be
pnt a stop to by radically extirpating the revolutionary
el:ments of nlidern public '

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
In Schleswig-Holstein the country in the neigh-
bourhood of Husum is entirely flooded, and in some
places the water has risen above the chausse between
that town and Tonning. It is stated that in case a
long and hard frost sets in the Danes will not attempt
to defend Friedrichstadt in its present shattered con•
dition if the HoMeiners attack it. They have a
strong position to the north-west at Husum, and to
the Holsteiners the possosion of Friedrichstadt alone
would be of little military advantage. The Wehr
Zeitung, the organ of the Prussian army, severely
condemns the continual skirmishes and outpost actions
carried on as a systcra by the Holstein troops, as they
cause a totally useless loss of life and destruction of
property.

" That Commander Thomas A. B. Spratt is to com-
mission the Porcupine, and proceed to the Greek
Islands, in order to complete the survey commenced
by the officers of the Volage, left uncompleted by
them." This statement is at least premature; for no
vessel will be commissioned for the Mediterranean
Surveying Service within the next three months.
THE ADMIRALTY DOVER PACKETS.—These vessels
have had to encounter the very heavy weather of the
past week in reduced numbers, for the Princess Alice
has been at Woolwich for above five months, under
repair, and the Garland has been found so defective
that she has been detained from returning to Dover.
The Vivid is in a defective state ; and the Undine,
with her new engineer, is not quite up to the mark.
In fact, had the gale continued for a couple of days
longer, the Admiralty would have been compelled to
hire vessels to keep up the mail communication. The
real expense of this service does not appear at Dover.
THE " PLUMPER" SCREW SLOOP.—Such has been
the excellent and superior sailing qualities of the 12 -
gun auxiliary screw-sloop Plumper, in the West
Indies, now ordered to the Brazils, reported by the
Earl of Dundonald, Commander-in-Chief in the West
Indies, that the Admiralty have sent the report to all
the dockyards.
BEHRING'S STRAITS SERVICE.—We understand
that the Amphitrite, 25, commissioned at Ports-
mouth by Captain Frederick, is to proceed to the
Pacific station, taking out as large a supply of stores
and provisions as she can stow, for supplying the
Arctic ships now engaged in searching for Franklin.
COMMODORE MARTIN'S SQUADRON.—Letters from
the squadron state that the Prince Regent, 90, Com-
modore Martin, is to come home in command of
Commander Feed, to be paid off. This is not correct;
the Prince Regent is to remain at Lisbon, and neces-
sary stores have been sent out by the Phaeton for the
repair of the defects of that ship on the station. The
Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, is the only ship of the
western squadron coming home, and she is ordered to
Portsmouth to be refitted.
MILITARY EMPLOYED AT THE INDUSTRIAL EXHI-
BITION FOR 1851.—A number of the most intelligent
and well-conducted non-commissioned officers and
privates of the Royal Sappers and Miners are being
employed as clerks, under the Committee for the
Exhibition of 1851, a just tribute to the worth of this
most distinguished corps. The selections have been
made partly from the companies at Chatham, and in
part from Woolwioh, the head-quarters of the corps.
SINDE PRIZE MONEY TO BE REFUNDED.—The
Court of Directors having decided that the over-paid
shares shall be refunded, the President of the Council
in India has directed that the several sums so over-
paid in the Meanee and Hyderabad portions of the
Sinde prize money, shall be recovered in six monthly
instalments, commencing from the first issue of pay,
officers returning to Europe being required to make
good the amount previous to their embarkation.
NORTH BRITAIN COMMAND.—Major-General Rid-
dell, K.H., commanding the troops in North Britain,
has issued an order to the effect that all future guard
mounting parades will be in folded coats instead of
knapsacks, except on Thursdays, when the men are
to be in heavy marching order. The Major General
has also recommended to the men the practice of
wearing vests with the coatee and shell jacket, which
are not padded, in order to prevent the straps bearing
too much upon the chest.
NEW PATTERN COAT FOR THE INFANTRY.—His
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has sent two
red frock coats to the Board of General Officers, as
patterns for officers and men.
RETIREMENT FROM THE GUARDS.—We understand
that Colonel Lascelles, commanding the Grenadier
Guards, is about to retire from the service, by the
sale of his commission. His first commission is
dated the 10th of September, 1812 ; was promoted
Lieutenant and Captain, June, 1814; Captain and
Lieutenant Colonel, February, 1828 ; Colonel,
November, 1841 ; Major and Colonel, July, 1843 ;
and succeeded as Lieutenant. Colonel of the Regi-
ment, in April, 1849. Colonel Lascelles served with
the Guards in the Peninsula in 1813 and 1814, and
has received the war medal with two clasps, for the
battles of the Nivelle and the Nive. He was also at
the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo.
ADMIRALTY AGENTS TO THE CAPE MAIL PACKETS.
—The Admiralty have appointed a commander
(Commander Wolrige) as the agent to the first Cape
Mail Packet, instead of a lieutenant, as in all other
Mail steam -packets ; and we understand that in these
packets their Lordships have determined to appoint
all commanders, in order that they may have an op•
portunity afforded them, in the voyages to the Cape
of Good Hope in those screw vessels, of making them-
selves thoroughly acquainted with that principle of
propulsion which there is not the slightest doubt
will in a few years be applied to every ship of war in
the navy.
THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.—Vice-Admiral Sir
William Parker's fleet was at Barcelona on the 6th
instant, and was to leave that port for Malta on
the 10th.

Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., his
friends will be glad to hear, has perfectly recovered
from the complaint (water on the chest), which at
this time of life (above 80) it was expected would
have been fatal. The water has all been absorbed,
and this highly gallant and most distinguished vete-
ran is much batter in health, as from his great age
could possibly be supposed.
CAPE OF GOOD lioPE.—We gave, on authority of a
daily paper, last week, the arrival of Commodore
Wyvill in the Castor, 36, at Simon's Bay, Oct. 6.
We have reason to believe that this is incorrect, for
we have letters from the Castor at Mauritius, Sep-
tember 28th.

SPORT IN THE HIGHLANDS.

Among the thousands of productions from nature
and art that will be gathered together in the great
Glass Palace next spring, there will, in all probabi-
lity, be collections of stuffed birds and animals. Stags'
heads would make a sporting studio for those learned
in the architecture of antlers; and of these a goodly
array from the Highlhand forests could have been
selected from the trophies of the past season. As
usual at the end of the shooting season, we subjoin
some notices of the sport. The general returns of
grousa will not compare with that of several past
years, but we have seldom had better accounts from
the corries.
In Mart Forest the Duke of Leeds and his party
shot 93 stags, 40 hinds, and 15 roe-deer. At Ard-
verikie, Lord Henry B.ntinek shot 49 stags ; and at
G lenavou the same nobleman shot 22 in a fortnight.
His friends had 16 in the same time. On the Inver-
broom.,
moors and corries, A. K. George, Esq.,
bagged 270 brace of grouse, 7 stags, and 5 hinds ;

WAKEFIELD, DEC. 20.—The arrivaN are good of
wheat and barley, and for the former article the demand
is slow and prices easier; samples out of condition and
of coarse quality much neglec:cd, and sold at irregular
prices. No change in the value of barley, and the de-
mand confined to the best qualities. Oats and shelling
rather cheaper. Beans no change.
