DESMAII.K.—A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen
announces that the Oersted Cabinet has disappeared before
the most formidable declaration of public opinion ever
known in Denmark. The constituencies have returned
four of the opposition members to one Ministerialist. The
King has sent for General Krogh.

AusnirA.—Until after its ratification, on the 15th of
the present month, it is not likely that any portion
pf the
treaty between Austria and the Western Powers will
transpire. Meanwhile, politicians are pretty generally
agreed as to its tone. The Austrian Gazette states, from
Vienna, that the• Austrian troops arriving from the south
are to be encamped near Tulu, on the Danube, not far
from Vienna. These troops will be augmented by other
corps, and will form, an army of 50,000 men with 200
pieces of cannon.

Pnussie.—The Berlin journals publish the despatch
which M. de Manteuffel addressed on the 15th ult. to the
Prussian Ambassador at Vienna. In this despatch the

Yussian

;overnment expressed its intention not to de-
mand from Russia any coueessions beyond the four points
of guarantee. A telegraphic despatch from Berlin states
that the new treaty between Austria and the Western
Powers had been sent there, and that at a council held on
the 6th, by the King and- his Ministers, the adhesion of
Prussia to the treaty was determined on. We learn also
from Berlin that Lord Westmoreland arrived there from
Vienna, by express, on the 4th, and had immediately a
long conference with Lord Bloomfield. It was said by
the Berlin gossips that Lord• Bloomfield would find it
necessary to come to England, tnconfer with Ministers at
home on the new aspect of the Eastern question.

RIISSIA.-A letter from Warsaw, of November 29th,
would seem to show that the Emperor of Russia is not
neglecting any means to augment his forces against the
allied armies in the East. The writer says :—" All the
intelligence that arrives from the different parts of Poland
seems to prove that as many troops as possible are being
despatched to the Crimea. Some time back the reserve
corps of Moscow, commanded by General Tcheodatieff,
were marched towards the south. General Osten-Sacken
is to arrive in the Crimea in the course of a few days, and
the void• made in Bessarabia by the departure of the troops
from that province will be filled up by troops from the
second corps of infantry and the reserves. The second
corps of infantry will be replaced in, Poland by the
remainder of the first corps, who hitherto had remained in
Courland and Livonia, and who are already on their way.
General Siewens, who is in command of that corps, has
arrived here with his staff. The effective force of the
Russian army in the Crimea does not amount to more
than 80,000 men, in spite of the arrival of the corps of
Dannenberg, and taking into account the. losses of the
sth." The Neva was entirely frozen over at St. Petersburg
on the 25th ult. All the works in the forts situate at its
mouth, on the sea-side, and those constructing on the
islands in front of that capital, had been suspended on
account of the winter. Letters state that between Kowno
and Warsaw sledges are now used, and that in•the neigh-
bourhood of Kalisch and Leuzcio the ground-is covered
with snow.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA

By the Britiskand North American Royal Mail steam-
ship Asia, Captain Lott, which arrived on Sunday fore-
noon, we have intelligence from New York to the-29th ult.
She also brought 91 passengers, and $286,000 specie.

The Baltic had arrived at New York on the 26th ult.

The Canada had proceeded up to Boston with-a portion
of the passengers rescued from the Ocean, the vessel with
which she had been in collision. The Canada received no
other damage but the loss of her jibboom, ands a slight
injury to the copper of her bow. According to, Captain
Stone's statement, the collision occurred through the
Ocean having crossed,the bows of Abe Canada when close
to her. Every attention was shown to the sufferers by the
officers and surgeon of the Canada. It was not known
how many passengers were on board the Ocean.. She had
become a wreck, but an effort will be made to recover her
machinery and safe.

It had Leen decided in effect that the New Haven Rail-
way Company are responsible for the stock over-issued by
Schuyler, and that the fraudulent stock was just as
valuable as the genuine stock.

The teller of the National Bank of New York had, while
intoxicated, confessed to a defalcation in his accounts of
$70,000.

The papers are full of rumours as to the forthcoming
President's Message. The Herald says of it :.—" The
President's Message, which is already completed, into be
kept back till the last moment, for fear some warlike
intelligence should be received before next Monday week,
which would render it necessary to change its tone in
speaking of our foreign relations. The Message, as com-
pleted, it is understood, is rather quiet."
The Washington correspondent of the Tribune says:—
" I learn from a reliable soqrce that the Administration
contemplate a naval demonstration in the ports of Dutch
India, to open a way for American diplomacy in, that
obstinately bigoted country. A demand will first be made
at the principal seapdrt town for the payment of the one
hundred thousand dollars due to Captain Gibson, and
upon a refusal to pay, the town will be bombarded. But
it is not expected that this will be necessary ; the autho-
rities will pay at once under protest, and then the nego-
tiations will be transferred to Washington : just what the
President desires. The President has no authority to
declare war technically, but he can resort to such methods
as this to enforce demands. After the settlement of the
affair in question, the Government intends then to send
out to Java a overnment agent uniting consular to
diplomatic powers, to compel this people, after the fashion
of Japan, to forsake her exclusive system for a more en-
lightened one."

Three Know-Nothings had been elected by the city of
Charleston to the legislature. The election of a State
senator for New Orleans resulted in.the Democratic nomi-
nee being beaten by the independent candidate.
A New York paper, alluding to the depression which
prevails in various trades and professions, says, " We find
on inquiry that the keepers of the crowded, eating and
drinking houses in the lower part of our city confess to a
reduction of at least one-half in their business. At one of
them, where an average of $l,OOO is usually received every
day, the clerk remarked that a large part of its business
consisted of its dealings with merchants and drummers,
who, taking their customers to dine, in prosperous times,
spent four or five dollars-a-piece; but that now the receipts
from such customers do not average more than four or five
shillings. Real estate has depreciated on an average from
thirty to fifty per cent. It was only the, other day that we
noticed the sale of a handsome freestone house, on fore-
closure of mortgage, for $12,000, which, not a year ago,
was considered cheap at $20,000, a depreciation of 40 per
cent."

A man had been arrested in New York for throwing
vitriol on people's dresses. He became deluded with the
idea that he could diminish prostitution by destroying
the clothes of unfortunate women. From one step he
proceeded to another, until it bectme a passion to destroy
every dress upon which he could throw his destructive
material.

In the Canadian Legislature the Feudal Tenure Abolition.
Bill had been read for the third time. .The Inspector-
General's tariff resolutions were adopted without im.-
portant change, except as regards sugars, for which the
following rates are to be charged : Refined, $2 50c. ; bas-
tard, $1 65c. ; and raw, $1 35c. per cwt.

Advices from. Texas state that Governor Pease had
determined to issue proposals for another contract for the
building of the Pacifie Railroad. _

The Legislature of South Carolina met on the 27th ult.
In his message the Governor suggested a modification of
the law relating to free persons of colour arriving at
Southern seaports. In reference, it is supposed, to the
Cuban question, he said " that the general Government
should avoid the appearance of grasping at any portion of
foreign territory." The commercial distress of that State
is stated to be greater than has been known since 1837.

At Port-au-Prince, on the 9th November, logwood and
coffee were scarce, owing to the rains. Some important
alterations were about to be made in the tariff.

A company of negroes at Havana, who clubbed together
and purchased a lottery ticket, had drawn a $lOO,OOO
prize. . , .

Some cotton mills at Claremont (N. H.) had been de-

stroyed by fire,

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

Ngw YORK, Nov

MONEY

—There was no abatement in the money
pressure, and business generally conitnued on a limited
scale. The difficulty of negotiating loans was very
great, even at the rate of 11 to 2 per cent. per month
for prime signatures. The city banks are still con-
tracting, notwithstanding which the draw of stecie
continued. The decrease in the loans was $492,269 ; the
loss of specie $600,549; and the reduction of deposits
$1,846,808. The continued currency troubles at the west
added materially to the general distrust engendered by
causes. The most encouraging feature for the future of
the money market was the decline noted to-day in ster-

ling exch'ange; with a very unsettled market, bills on
London being done at 1094 to 1094 premium. Conti-
nental exchange had not varied, but closed flat; namely,
_ _

Paris, &c., 5.16 f to 5.124 f, sixty days, and 5.084 f to 5.071 f,
short sight; Hamburg, 361 to 361; Frankfort, 411 to 411;
and Thalers, 731 to 74. The amount of specie in the
sub-treasury at the close of business yesterday was
$6,568,108 33c.

-CoTioN.—The demand has been rather more attractive
during the past few days, but at lower prices, and, in
order to realise, holders have been forced to yield a con-
cession of -ic. to lc., which has led to increased business,
principally for export. Sales for the three days are esti-
mated at 4,000 bales, and for the past week about 10,000,
