The PRESS IN DENMARK.--A correspondent at
Copenhagen writes to the Debuis, that when three
months ago, the King Of Prussia was about to come
ashore from the steamer which brought him into the
port spark from the chimney of the vessel set fire
to the royal standard of Prussia hosted on the boat
in which the King was, and entirely consumed the
flag From this insignificant accident, the Copen-
hagen journal, the Fadrsnslandei, (he Country
published article predicting the fall Of the abso
lutte monarchy of Prussia, and INDUCING in light re-
Elections upon the religious and political opinions Of
King Frederick William. The Danish government,
seeing in this article an insult upon his Majesty of
Prussia, prosecuted the editor, M. Gjoedward, who
was sentenced to imprisonment for six months, and
to pay fine of 1000 rix-dollars banco (about
5,000f) and all the costs; and further nerdcted him
for five years from publishing any writing what
ever, without its being previously submitted to the
censorship of the police This severe judgment was,
on appeal, confirmed by the Supreme Court Of the
kingdom. M. Gjoedward being unable or unwil
ling to pay the fine and costs, amounting together
to ., $50 rx-doars, (about 6,900f, the government
issued an execution, and having seized his library,
ordered it TO be sold by auction the I'd instant.
The first lot put up was translation into the
Danish language of Marines de Larochefoucatid
worth l6 schillings (90centimes) but before any
one could bid for 1t, person in the room cried out,
81 will give 5000 rix-dollars, q ,500f y" and mme-
diately threw over to the auconeer the full amount
in bank notes. The little volume was handed over
to the purchaser, and the fine and costs being thus
more than satisfied the sale was stopped, amidst
the general applause of the company. The per-
former of this act Of generosity was merchant OF
Copenhagen, named Falkenbjerg, who was mme-
diately afterwards unanimously elected member
of the society for the freedom of the press and had
his diploma sent to him in a siver-gilt box.

expel the invaders from California.
If they cannot succeed in this, they will take to

think these soldiers are sent by Mexico at the in

Americans are settling in the CALIFORNIA; too fast,

position has been manifested TO sell. The upward
movement has, consequently, continued, and a,
some Of the principal markets materially enhanced
terms have been paid for wheat.
BY our Scotch advices, we learn that harvest ope-
rations, which had been interrupted BY the heavy
rains that fell between the 18th and 22d, had again
been actively resumed twill, nevertheless, require
some weeks of dry weather to get in what Is YET
abroad. The lively reports from the south had
caused sellers of wheat TO demand materially en-
HANGED terms. At Edinburgh the article rose IS
per Or, and at Glasgow the rise amounted to IS ID
per boil, being equal to SIS per ar. Much anxiety
was felt there to ascertain in how far the potato crop
had been injured by the disease so prevalent In Eng
land; but as nothing very positive is stated on the
subject, we are inclined to think the mischief is not
SO great in that part of the kingdom.
From Ireland the complaints in regard TO this mat
ter are, however, becoming general; even along the
west coast where the crop was previously stated to
have escaped injury, the root has, it is stated,
been discovered TO have been attacked. In the
southern parts Of the island the bulk Of the grain
had, we are informed, been got in and even in the
north, the fields were fast being cleared. On the
whole, we are disposed to think that the harvest
will turn out better in Ireland than on this side ofthe
channel. The rise in the English markets had
had the effect Of causing advance in the value OF
both wheat end oats.

LATE AND INTERESTING FROM CALIFORNIA.
We have the pleasure Of laying before our read
ers the annexed letter from an American resident OF
California, giving more Ineligible view than we
have elsewhere SEEM of the late in that
country, and containing information as to its condi
ton and prospects, which is both recent and trust
worthy. No attempt had yet been made to re-es-
tabish the Mexican authority there, though an ex-
petition with this object was said to be fitting out
at Acapulco. Preparations were making by the
Californians to give it a proper reception. But we
will not anticipate the contents of the letter.
