Mr Field seconded the resolution, which was agreed to unanimously.

DENMARK AND GERMANY.

Speech of the King of Denmark to his Chamber.

no

The following is the speech from the King of Denmark, which was read by the President of the Council at the last sitting of the Rigsraad on the 22nd: "We, Christian IX., by the Grace of God, &c. To the Rigsraad, our Royal greeting! When this assembly, which has to-day arrived at the end of its labours, met for the first time eight years ago, it was received with the hope that it would finish the arrangement announced in the royal rescript of 1852 for a collective representation of the common affairs of the monarchy. This hope would have been realised if the Germanic Confederation in its relations with Denmark had kept to the limits of its federal competency. The Rigsraad well knows that it was only with great reluctance, and under threats of a recourse to coercive measures, that the Danish Government has been brought by the Confederation to abolish the collective constitution for Holstein and Lauenburg. The Rigsraad is aware, moreover, of the steps taken at different times for the re-establishment of the constitutional union without being able to obtain the assent of the States of Holstein, required as an indispensable condition by the Confederation. The new charter voted by the Rigsraad, and sanctioned by us, under date of the 18th of November last, rests upon the same basis as the actual collective constitution. The separation of common matters from local matters is not subjected by this charter to any kind of modification; while it does not give to the Rigsraad any power in matters pertaining up till now to the peculiar authority of the special representations. It is true that it will not have the force of law except in the part of the Danish monarchy where the Germanic Confederation exercises no authority; but as it is our intention to grant to our German federal territories the same autonomy and the same liberty, the road will be thus laid open towards રી more intimate union by the agreement attained of the Rigsraad with the States of Holstein. To such an accord the new constitution will oppose obstacle whatever; and it is certainly only by a misunderstanding that certain Powers have believed that they saw in it motives for leaving undecided the question as to whether they would execute the engagements imposed by treaties contracted by them without any condition. Side by side with the exaggerated demands raised by the Germanic Confederation, tendencies have been manifested in Germany which would result in the dismemberment of the Danish monarchy. The authors of such subversive plans imagine they have found an efficacious instrument. We console ourselves with the hope that Europe will know how to maintain for the Danish monarchy the collective succession, the unaltered existence of which it has recognised as indispensable to the preservation of the general peace. Although we have given satisfaction to all federal resolutions concerning our territories connected with Germany, German troops are on the eve of invading, not only our duchy of Holstein, but even our duchy of Lauenburg, the contentment and fidelity of which have been testified to us by convincing proofs. In such a case it is impossible for us to recognise the legality of the federal execution; however, to avoid as much as is possible the outbreak of hostilities, we have deemed it right to withdraw our troops in order to concentrate our whole force of resistance on this side of the Eider, well convinced as we are that our brave and loyal people will unite in perfect harmony around their King, when the safety and liberty of the country are at stake. By these words we present to the members of our Rigsraad our parting salutation. We express to them our thanks and those of the country for their perseverance in their work, and the fidelity of their devotion, during the difficult years which have claimed their activity, as well as for the eagerness with which they have responded to the appeal of the country in its present situation, so full of imminent dangers. We pray God to have you in His keeping-you, together with ourselves and to watch over the safety of our dear people. Done at our residence at Christiansburg, Dec. 21, 1863. CHRISTIAN R." After the reading of the above message the members of the Rigsraad separated with shouts of "Long live the King!"

“The undersigned, President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the King of Denmark, has the honour to acknowledge the receipt, on the 15th inst., of the note whereby the President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Prussia has acquainted him with a Federal decree of December the 7th. and, in consequence of the so-called procedure of execution resolved by the said Federal decree, has requested the Government of the King to evacuate Holstein within seven days. Having without delay submitted this note to his most gracious Sovereign, the undersigned has been charged by his Majesty to call the attention of the Prussian Government to the following observations:

BERLIN, Dec. 31.-The Austrian and Prussian ministers will leave Copenhagen in a few days if the constitution of the 18th November is not rescinded by the end of the year. The Norddeutsche Zeitung of to-day says: "We learn that the adhesion at the Federal Diet of Austria and Prussia to the occupation of Slesvig has already elicited a protest from the English Government. England has stated to the German Government that in case German troops cross the Eider, she will be unable to refuse the assistance requested by Denmark."

DRESDEN, Dec. 31.-Prince Frederick of Augustenburg has informed the Federal Commissioners that he does not intend either to assume the government immediately, or to oppose the Federal resolutions of the 7th inst.

26.-A proclamation of the Federal Commissioners has been pub-
lished to-day, expressing itself in very decided terms against any pre-
mature measures on the part of the people, and especially against any
act anticipating the decision of the Federal Diet by proclaiming the
Prince of Augustenburg. The Federal Commissioners further pro-
nounce against any arbitrary removal of functionaries, and call upon
the people to strictly obey their previous proclamation. No objection
will be made to expressions of sympathy with the House of Augus-
tenburg. General Hacke has received official notification from the
chief of the Danish general staff that Rendsburg will be evacuated by
the Danes. According to private information received from Copen-
hagen, Mr Hall has declared to the Ministers of Austria and Prussia
that he no longer considers them as members of the Diplomatic Corps. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE DUKE OF

that the Scandinavian party has sent agents to Stockholm. The

The Cologne Gazette of Tuesday publishes a correspondence between the Pretender of Holstein and the Emperor Napoleon. The following letter is from the former:

justice of your Majesty some observations relative to the rights
which it is my duty to claim in the name of my house, and still
more so in the name of my country.

Assuredly the essential points of this grave question have not escaped the penetrating regard of your Majesty, but the spirit of party and the passions excited by interests foreign to the question of right have so tended to obscure this cause, so simple in itself, that your Majesty, I hope, will excuse the eagerness which in duces me to succinctly recall in this letter the bases on which, as it appears to me, the cause should be judged. Just in the sight of God, the cause which I am called on to defend certainly has not to dread the judgment of any impartial tribunal. It suffices that it should be investigated without prejudice.

All the sympathy which the unfortunate situation of my country might inspire may be dispensed with-a rigorously impartial examination of our rights and our troubles is all that we demand in the face of Heaven. And it is this rigorous but impartial examination-but free from all prejudice-that before all I venture to hope, with entire confidence, from your Majesty, from that spirit of high justice which you have so many times manifested in so magnanimous a manner.

Your Majesty will still design to sympathise with the sufferings, with the unjust oppression, which the inhabitants of Slesvig-Holstein have suffered because they have remained faithful to the traditions of their country and to the language and customs of their fathers. It is through me, from the success of my claims, that they expect the termination of their sufferings, and I venture to say that it is on this account, on account of these hopes, I cannot renounce the duty of seeking the re-establishment of the hereditary rights which have devolved upon me.

29.-Dr Monrad, up to the present Minister of Public Worship, has been intrusted with the formation of a new Ministry. A rumour is current here that England has proposed a conference of the seven Powers who signed the Treaty of London of 1852, at which the representative of the Federal Diet would also be present.

31.-The ministerial crisis has terminated. Bishop Monrad has been appointed President of the Council and Minister of Finance, and will act provisionally as Minister for Foreign Affairs.

For, even considering the matter from the point of view of the German Confederation, it must be admitted that any demand on the part of the Confederation with regard to the position which his Majesty should accord to Holstein in his capacity of Duke of Holstein, must be subordinate to a preceding acknowledgment of the King as Duke of Holstein and Lauenburg. Lastly, I must observe that the request addressed to the King's Government is not in conformity with the prescriptions laid down in the regulations for the procedure of execution, dated August 3, 1820 (Article 10), namely, in this important point, that it has not been made possible for the King's Government to avoid the execution by submission to any precise demands addressed to it. Far from this, the execution itself appears simply as the only object of the Federal resolution. His Majesty, my most gracious Sovereign, is under these circumstances unable to recognise the so-called execution resolved by the Confederation as a legitimate procedure founded in the Federal law, but intends, on the contrary, to reserve formally his sovereign and dynastic rights. His Majesty has, therefore, commanded the undersigned to protest by this present, and in the most solemn manner, against the unquestionable encroachment which has been announced to him, and reserves for himself to take such further resolutions as he may consider reconcileable with his rights and interests. The undersigned avails himself, &c.-(Signed.)-C. HALL."

The Emperor's reply is as follows:

My Cousin, I have read with great interest the letter which you have sent to me, and I hasten to reply to it. I know nothing more honourable than to be the representative of a cause which supports itself on the independence and the nationality of a people; and on this account you may rely on my sympathy, for I shall be always consistent in my conduct. If I have fought for Italian independence, if I have raised my voice for Polish nationality, I cannot have other sentiments in Germany, nor obey other principles. But the great Powers are united by the Convention of London, and their assembling can alone resolve without difficulties the question which interests you. I regret, then, very sincerely on this account, as on so many others, that England has refused to assist at the Congress which I proposed. It is unfortunate that the Diet was not consulted on the rights of a duchy forming part of the German Confederation; also Denmark may be in the wrong as regards Germany; but on one side I deplore that the Confederation believed itself obliged to intervene in Holstein before the question of succession was decided, for intervention, which can bring on very grave complications, does not decide this question, and if Denmark were oppressed by powerful neighbours, public opinion in France would incline towards her.

The King expressed his regret to the deputation from the Chamber of Deputies that the year 1863 had not afforded a favourable opportunity to accomplish the redemption of Italy. His Majesty considered that 1864 would bring about European complications not well defined, which might offer the wished-for opportunity. The country might reckon upon the King, as the King reckoned upon the country.

THE SULTAN AND THE CONGRESS. The Moniteur of Tuesday publishes the reply of the Sultan, whom it styles Emperor of the Ottomans, to the Congress proposition. The following is a translation: "I have received from the Marquis de Moustier the letter in which your Imperial Majesty refers to the present position of Europe, and to the necessity of assembling in Congress in order to concert and to adopt proper measures for settling the present and assuring the future. I cordially thank your Imperial Majesty for the sentiments of sincere friendship you have displayed towards me on this occasion, and I beg you to believe in the perfect reciprocity of my sentiments, as well as in my most ardent desire to prove to you the high value I attach to seeing strengthened the bonds of that secular friendship which so happily exists between the two empires. Sovereign of an empire the interests and prosperity of which depend, in great part, upon the maintenance of peace, I shall experience a genuine satisfaction in seeing it established upon a solid and durable foundation. As for my personal views upon the proposition of your Imperial Majesty, I refer you to the conversation I have had with your representative, and to the master, said that it took ten minutes to open the doors of a locked train, himself to the American ambassador, Mr Dayton, and expressed a hope and the public, therefore, would not consent to wait.

AT THE MARYLEBONE OFFICE, on Tuesday, a tall, powerful, welldressed man, named William Whitehead, aged thirty-six, and who gave the address Wexham Rectory, Buckinghamshire, gentleman, was THE MURDERER TOWNLEY.-"We have" says the Times, "authocharged with indecently assaulting Mrs Richardson in a carriage on the Great Western Railway, he being drunk at the time. Mrs Richard-rity to state that while the Judge before whom George Victor Townley was tried concurred in the verdict, he advised a further son said: When we stopped at Langley the prisoner and another man whom I see now at the back of the court got into the carriage where inquiry, in order to ascertain whether the prisoner was or not now we were. They were both very much intoxicated, and the man not in insane. This inquiry was in consequence undertaken, at the request custody was so drunk that he had to crawl into the carriage on his of the Secretary of State, by the Lunacy Commissioners. hands and knees. Directly the train started the prisoner waved his report, together with a certificate of the prisoners insanity, signed by three justices of the peace and two medical gentlemen, has made it stick about in a most threatening manner over our heads, and I was very much frightened. The gentleman who is now behind tried to necessary to order his immediate removal to a lunatic asylum, and stop him flourishing his stick, and the more he did so the more the under these circumstances the execution of his sentence has been respited during her Majesty's pleasure. prisoner called upon him to insult us. Prisoner caught hold of legs and pulled me down. I was terribly frightened. The prisoner's language was most indecent.-Fanny Richardson, sister-in-law to last witness, corroborated this.-B. Denning, guard to the train from Windsor, said: When I got to West Drayton the first witness came out of the carriage in which she had been, crying, and said that herself, her friend, and another lady, had been most grossly insulted by two men, and their conduct had been most infamous. They asked me to place them in another compartment. I did so. After this other passengers got into the train and we proceeded as far as Southall, where the train stopped. Here a gentleman got out, and said to me that himself and some females had been most grossly insulted and threatened by the prisoner and his friend. He gave me his card, and said there was then a lady in the carriage in hysterics. I carried the lady out, cleared the compartment of the other ladies, and locked the prisoner and his friend in till we got to Paddington, where both the prisoner and the friend of his who stands behind now were given into custody.-Inspector Mackerell: I was at the Paddington police-station when the prisoner and the man now in court were brought in. The prisoner was very drunk. He treated with the greatest contempt and insolence the prosecutrix and her friend, and the other lady.-Mr Knox, after severely commenting on the prisoner's conduct, remanded him for a week. A summons was afterwards taken out against his friend by the railway company for being drunk in one of the carriages.

NEW JAW-BONES.-The Abbeville jaw-bone, which raised such a storm a few months ago among geologists, has suddenly received an important reinforcement from a new quarter, MM. Gassigou, Martin, and Trutat having last week announced to the Academy of Sciences the discovery of two new fragments of human jaw-bones, discovered in the cavern of Bruniquel (Tarn-et-Garonne) under circumstances clearly pointing to the co-existence of man with some of the extinct species of carnivora, ruminants, and birds. The cavern lies in a mass of Jurassic limestone, and open towards the east at an altitude of about seven mètres above the level of the Aveyron. Its floor consists of several successive strata-viz., a stratum of stalagmite, 22 centimètres deep; a pudding-stone, interspersed with bones, to a depth of 150 centimètres; and several black argillaceous strata, to a depth of 120 centimètres, interspersed with a quantity of flint implements and weapons, bones of various quadrupeds and birds, and a quantity of round pebbles, comprising garnets, gneiss, quartz, syenite, serpentine, &c. Lines of charcoal separate some of these layers, and the bones of the ruminants bear marks of having been fractured for the purpose of getting at the marrow, or making them into instruments or weapons; the extremities alone are still perfect, and have enabled the above mentioned gentlemen to ascertain the species of Cervus elephas, Bos primigenius, Rhinoceros tichorrinus, and several birds, one of these being very large. But the reindeer is the animal which characterizes the age of the cavern of Bruniquel.

The Earl of CHARLEMONT died on Saturday, in his eighty-ninth year. He was one of the representative peers of Ireland and Lieutenant of the county of Tyrone, from a small town in which the title was taken. He had two sons and two daughters, all of whom he survived. His eldest son, William, Viscount Caulfield died in 1823; the second, William Francis, in 1807. Both the daughters died un married. The deceased peer's father has been called "the great Lord Charlemont," from the distinguished part he took as the aristocratic leader of the Volunteer movement in 1788, and from the ability with which he advocated the cause of Irish independence in the Irish Parliament. But his son and successor, though born in exciting times, had not his father's talents or energy, and although a steady Whig, who stood by his party firmly in the struggle for the Catholic emancipation and Parliamentary reform, he led a very quiet life, unostentatious, benevolent, and willing to lend his name and influence for the promotion of philanthropic and patriotic objects. For a long time he had been very little seen in public. He resided at his beautiful mansion near Clontarf in comparative seclusion from the world, the profound stillness that reigned over the place being seldom broken by visitors. Though thus for years superannuated, it is said that he was cheerful, humorous, and witty to the last, and by no means wanting in hospitality to his friends, or kindly interest in what was going on in the busy world around him. He will be succeeded in his titles and estates by his nephew, Colonel James Molyneux Caulfield, of Hockley, in the county of Armagh, of which he is lieutenant, and which he represented for some time in Parliament. He is married to the only child by his first marriage of Sir William Somerville, now Lord Athlumney.

VISCOUNTESS BOYLE died on Saturday, aged twenty-six. She had been confined a week previously with a son, but bad symptoms ensued, which resulted fatally. She was third daughter of the late Earl of Harewood, and married in 1858 Viscount Boyle, eldest son of the Earl and Countess of Shannon, by whom she leaves three infant

sons.

COLONEL SAMUEL WAYMOUTH, LATE 2ND LIFE GUARDS, died on Saturday, in Upper Grosvenor street, aged seventy. He served in the Peninsular with the 2nd Life Guards, from 1812, to 1814, and was present at the battle of Vittoria, investment of Pampeluna, and the battles of the Pyrenees. He also took part in the campaign of 1815, including Quatre Brae, covering the retreat of the following day, the 17th, and took part in the battle of Waterloo. He was severely wounded and taken prisoner when charging the French Cuirassiers at Waterloo. It belongs to M. Lartet's third paleontological period of the quarternary epoch. The existence of flint implements here would alone be sufficient to prove the existence of man in those distant ages; but this existence is placed beyond a doubt by the discovery of the two fragments of human jaw-bones, one of the right side and the other of the left, but belonging to different individuals. They are both in a bad state of preservation. Among the other fragments of bone there is the humerus of a bird, on which the body of a fish is roughly carved. This seems to have been an amulet or ornament. Ten witnesses were present at the finding of these relics. Hence it appears that three human jaw-bones, belonging to the same type (the brachycephalous one), date from three perfectly distinct periods-viz., that of Aurignac, found in company with the Ursus

OLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.-EXPERIENCE.-This question is often asked by sufferers from tumours, abscesses, and other alarming diseases, "What treatment of my malady is the safest and surest?" The unsolicited testimony of thousands point out Holloway's Ointment and Pills as the most reliable of all curative means. The drugs of which they are compounded are highly purifying, very strengthening, and altogether uninjurious. The Ointment, when applied to the affected part, counteracts al bad humours which are feeding the disease and poisoning the system. The Pills purify the entire frame, many malignant diseases which begin in a mild and curable form have been stopped in their suspicious course by these invaluable remedies, and many cancers have succumbed to them.

of some of the relief now afforded. A subscription to a
hospital is not only an act of benevolence, but the payment
of a debt, as the eminent skill of the physicians and
surgeons of the wealthy is due, in very large measure, to the
opportunities of thorough study which these institutions
have afforded.

fession generally, recommend Cocoa as being the most
healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
Homœopathy was first introduced into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of Cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach: the nut was
either supplied in its crude state or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice.

J. EPPS. of London, Homeopathic Chemist. was
induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this sub-
ject, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of ela-
borate machinery, in being the first to produce an article
PURE in its composition, and so refined by the perfect tri-
turation it receives in the process it passes through, as to be
most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use,

EP PS'S COCO A
is distinguished as an
INVIGORATING, GRATEFUL
BREAKFAST BEVERAGE,
possessing a most

DELICIOUS AROMA.

Dr Hassall, in his work on " Adulterations of Food," says:
"Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive princi
ples; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance
of the body." Again, "es a nutritive, cocoa stands very much
higher than either coffee or tea."

Directions: Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast
cup, filled up with boiling water or milk.
