DENMARK.

A letter from Copenhagen of the sth, in the Nord
of Brussels, says
" We are still labouring under the effects of the oora'
inercial crisis ; all atteetion is turned towards Hamburg,
for it is from that city that will come the saving or the
ruin of our commercial credit. All the palliatives which
have been hitherto adopted have been powerless to ward
off the danger. Old and good houses fail, others
are
tottering, and all are more or less threatened. The
supreme council or general diet of the country is con•
yoked for the 14th Jan. It is well known that most of
the deputies. have resigned their mandate for the
council general, where they do not intend to appe,sr,
The royal commissioner to the Diet of Holstein has PI"
informed the peblic that the eleetions for replacing Baron
de Scheele-Plessen, Barnn de Biome, Count Reventlesr,
and Count Reincke, who had resigned, will take pla"
on the sth Jan at Neumunster. The States of Lanett-
bourg have declared in a memorial to the Diet of Fram!li
fort that their two deputies to the supreme council will
not take any part in the deliberations of that body, s?
that the council of the monarchy will only represen!
the kingdom, properly so called. Nothing has ye!
transpired as to the resolutions adopted at the laSs
sitting of the Privy Council, and even the journals in
the confidence of certain ministers are, unusually silent
on the subject. A long visit with
the ex-minister
M. de Scheele lately made at court gives rise to a
supposition of a change in the ministry, and perhaps
is a sign of a change in tbe foreign and domestic polies,'
of Denmark."

LIVERPOOL, Dzo. 10.
A letter from Calcutta of the Ist of November
says
" The transport Champion of the Seas was passed
by the mail steamer which arrived yesterday be-

had upwards of 1,000 troops on board, and beloogg

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, —I beg leave to apply for space in your
columns to state a narrative with respect to a
company called San Fernando Mining Company,
of which I cannot now hear anything. I was in-
duced by an agent, a share and mining agent, to
invL st some hundreds of pounds in what was then
called this "promising concern," and in due course,
after parting with my money, received a sheet of
paper, imposing enough in appearance, printed full
of coupons for the receipt of dividends down to the
year 1861. I cut off two of these and received a
small sum—and since then I have heard never a
word about them.

It appears to me to be some stv-ng concern,
but I would hope there is some law to reach the
parties who have the management of it. There are
no doubt others in the same predicament as myself,
and as unity is strength, perhaps if we joined our
efforts, something might be made of this con-
cern, either in shape of a return, or an account
rendered of what has beoome of the monies.
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
DUPED.

DISSOLVING TIE WS OF FRANC!.

COUNT DE MORNY'S ADDRESS TO THE LEGISLATIVM

CORPS, OPENED FOR 1858.
" As the finest buildings are best viewed at a certain
distance, so at a distance from France one is best enabled
to judge how great is her position abroad.
" Consolation may be found, while afar off, in that
national sentiment of pride which every true Frenchman
carries in his heart. Paris is not touched by the dis-
asters which afflict so many other States : let us hope that
this crisis may be of short duration."

THE SAME, ARRANGED FOR MUSIC.
Ant—" How happy's the Soldier who lives on his pay."
Hew happy's the Exile who wanders all day,
And looks at his country from over the way ;
With eye-glass or spy-glass, or some such assistance,
He sees how delightful she looks " at a distance."
Cut off from his country he wanders apart,
With "the national pride of a Frenchm 4n at heart ;"
In her pomp and "position abroad " now he shares,
And, being kicked out, he has none of her cares.
Of commerce around him ho hears the loud crash,
And klbion the perfide all going to smash ;
While France, by the wit of De Moray detected,
Sits up like a lady—" as well as expected !"
" Affliction has touched many States with disaster,"
But when it comes Paris-ward bows to its master ;
And the Exile bows low, with far-off admiration,
Yet hopes th it all this "may be short of duration."
Then hail to the Distance, dissolving the view,
Or increasing effect, though a trifle too blue
At a distance the charm of some objects is dearer,
Which might disappear could we look at them nearer !

TEE NEXT INDIAN NEWS.

The Indian telegram, with news from Calcutta
up to Noy. 10, and from Bombay up to Nov. 17,
is overdue. It will contain nine days' later news
than that which we have just received. The latest
news we have had from Lucknow is up to October
21. The telegram now overdue will probably
bring down the news from that plaoe to the 31st of
October. As Lucknow can scarcely have been re,
lioved before the departure of the news now on its
way to England, we shall have to wait another forte
night to know the fate of Havelock, his troops, and
the women and children which he so heroically saved
from destruction. On Christmas-day another tele-
gram will be due, with news from Calcutta up to
Nov. 24, and from Lucknow up to the 15th of that
month.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PICKPOCKETS AT THE iAHOYER SQUARE Rooms.—
William Clark dias Mack was placed at the bar before
Mr. Bingham, charged with etealieg a silk purse con-
taining 11. 18s., the property of Mrs. Elizabeth Margaret
Bidgood, the lady of Mr. Henry Bidgood, No. 7,
Vigo-Areet.
The prosecutrix deposed that on the previous night,
about half-past ten o'clock, she was leaving the Hanover-
square Rooms in company with her niece and a gentle-
man named Kirtup, when she felt some one pulling at
her dress, and on putting her band into her pocket to
feel for her purse she found it was gone. She then
observed the prisoner, who was olose by her side, pushing
his way through the crowd, and suspecting him to be
the thief, she laid hold of his arm, and said, "You
have stolen my purse." He made no reply, and tried
to get away, when the gentleman who was with her
seized hold of him by the other arm. The prisoner then
threw down the purse, and said, " Here's your purse ;
now let me go." She picked up the purse, and found
its contents 11. 183. undisturbed. Mr. Kirtup then
called a constable, and the prisoner was given into
custody.
Mr. Kirtup, surgeon, No. 7, Vigo-street, corroborated
the evidence of Mrs. Bidgood,

Sergeant Evans, 2 0, proved apprehending the pri-
soner, and on searching him, saw him throw away a
leather purse, which witness picked up, and on examin-
ing it found it to contain Ss. 6 I. which was no doubt the
produce of a previous robbery."
The prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Lewis, his
solicitor, pleaded guilty and was committed for four
months to the House of Correction.

MARKET NEW2.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although only a limited supply of English wheat was on
offer in to-day's market, coastwise and by land-carriage, we
have to report a very dull inquiry for all kinds. Indeed,
so little business was transacted that the quotations were
almost nominal. To have effected a clearance, is to 2s per
quarter less money must have b3en taken by the factors.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, and in some
instances forced sales were effected at fully is per quarter
beneath Monday's currency.
Fine malting barley supported previous rates; but grind-
ing and distilling sorts were lower to purchase.
Malt sold slowly, at Monday's quotations.
We were well supplied with oats, in which only a mode-
rate business was transacted, at the late decline in value.
No change in beans or peas ; but American flour was 15
per barrel lower.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

For the time of year the show of beasts in to-day's mar-
ket was very moderate in number, and of middling quality.
Most breeds sold slowly, at Monday's currency. We were
but moderately supplied with sheep, which met a dull in-
quiry at late rates. The supply of calves was limited, and
the veal trade ruled brisk, at an improvement in the quo-
tations of 44 per Sibs. Pigs sold on former terms, but

ROBBERY TO THB A MOUNT OF 3,0001. —M r. Thompson,
corn-merchant, of Wakefield, was ribbed of 3,000/. in
notes
and other money, on the Manchester Corn Ex-
change, yesterday, about a quarter past one o'clock.
The money had been lying on the sample table, and both
Mr. Thompson and his son had seen it safe only a
few minutes before it was missed, Notice of the robbery
was given at the police-office, and Sergeant Shanley, a
smart officer of the detective force, after making some
inquiries, determined on proceeding to Liverpool by the
next train. It appears that he acted with tact, for be-
fore 4 o'clock a telegraphic message was received in
Manchester from the officer, stating that he had appre-
hended the thief and had him in custody at Warrington
Junction, half way to Liverpool, with the whole of the
money in his possession. The prisoner will be brought
before the Manchester magistrates for examination this
day.

In reply to a question from Mr. S. WARREN,
Sir G. GREY said that as soon as he received the
report of the Common Law Judicial Commission, he
sent a letter to the Lord Chief. Justice respecting the
proposed changd in the circuits. He thought it would
be better for the hon. and learned member to move for
the return of that letter and the answer. Some of the
proposed alterations must be made by Act of Parliament
and a bill for that purpose was being prepared.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

WESTMINSTER.

A THOROUGH STATE or AstztEosilENT.—Sarah New-
ton, a prostitute, was charged with being drunk, and
using obscene language in High-row, Knightsbridge.
A policeman stated that he was attracted last night to

the High-row by screams, and on going to the spot found
tie defendant lying on her back and without any ♦isible
cause Faye that of drunkenness, shrieking at the top of
her ♦oice. He repeatedly asked her to got up, when she
again made use of filthy expressions. With the assistance
of another constable he got her to the station.
The police said that she had been repeatedly charged
at this court as a disorderly prostitute, and was only
recently out of prison.
Mr. Arnold—l think I remember her ♦ery well.

(Addressing the accused)—Are you the person who,
after being committed time after time, I sent to prison
for want of sureties, who then wrote a number of
seemingly very penitential letters to me, promising
reformation, and induced me to liberate you.
Defendant—Yes ; I did write to your worship.
Mr. Arnold—.l our letters, coupled with the repre-
sentations of the chaplain, upon whom you also imposed,
induced me to release you, and the very next day you
were brought t this court charged with drunkenness,
and again committed. You then again wrote penitential
letters, and had your conduct been consistent with your
profession., it would have been advantsgeone to you,
and beneficial to society, instead of which you have pray
tised, both towards the chaplain and myself, the most
consummate hypocrisy. Your last letter, filled with
expressions of penitence, stated that if you were dis-
charged, you could at once leave London, abandon
your evil courses, and go to the country to your friends,
whom you said were willing to receive you.
Defendant (dropping her head)—I did say so. I have
an aunt in the country.
Mr. Armild—lnstead of going to ber, you are again
found about the streets, making use of the most dis•
gusting language.
Defendant Wag then remanded, with a view of dealing
out to her a commensurate punishment upon proper
legal process.
