LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Steamship _ Hecla, EETEEAT OF THE DANES TO FL2NSBDEG. New Toek, Feb. 24—The steamer Hecla has arrived from Liverpool with dates to r the loth inst. The reported retreat of the Banes to Flensburg is confirmed. They are ah o reported to have re treated from there to Duppel, after a severe en gagement. There is great discontent at Copenhagen. The Banish Commander-in-chief has been recalled. An unreliable report prevails of a revolution at Copenhagen. The British Court of Exchequer in Chambers has dismissed the appeal in the Alexandra case ior lack of jurisdiction. Livebpool, Monday, Feb. 9.—The sales of cot ton to-day have been 7,000 bales. The market has an upwMd tendency, but, prices are unchanged. The sales to speculators and exporters were 2,509 bales. ! 1 here is no report of the Manchester markets. Breadstuff's are quiet and steady. Provisions quiet, and steady. London, Feb. 9.—Consols for money 9Q&. [SECOND EESr ATCH. ] The Judges of the Exchequer in the Chambers, by a majority of one out ot seven, decided to dis miss the appeal in the Alexandra case, on the ground ot a want of jurisdiction. The case will therefore be carried to the House of Lords. The Parliamentary proceedings are unimp or. tant. Lord Palmerston said the Government had re monstrated with Austria and Prnssia on the pro clamation of the Buke of Angustenburg, and their action placing behleswig-Holstein under their pro tection. Prussia had adopted the disapproval of the i dvance in Schleswig, and ordered its stop page. Prussia had also positively declared that it would respect Denmark. The report that the Banes had retreated from Schleswig is fully confirmed. They evacuated the Bannerwerke and blew up the works at Mis suDde. The Germans followed them to Fleusburg, whence they also retreated towards Buppel. There had been several severe engagements with considerable losses on both sides. The Germane secured, great booty and a large number of guns and prisoners. According to* some authorities the Banish possession of Schles wig is probably ended, and the army will retreat to J utland. Others assert that a formidable stand will be made at Duppel wh*re the Banes, sup ported by their fleet, nmy assume a strong posi tion. There is great' excitement at Copenhagen under these retreats. . General De Meza, the Commander-in-Chief, and' his chief of staff, have been recalled. Atan extraordinary meeting of ihe Bigsrad, the President of the Council said that the King was not instrumental in the retreat. The proceedings of the Commander were inexplicable. ° Jiwas reported in Paris that a revolution had \ roken out in Copenhagen and that the Kiug had embarked for England and the King of Sweden was proclaimed. The statements are unreliable and unconfirmed. Active naval preparations are going on at Copenhagen. The English journals continue very anti-Ger man in tone. The conservatives hold Earl Bus sell responsible for the Banish reveres. Duke Fredcrick-hae been proclaimed at various places in Schleswig. The Paris Bourse closed flat. BentesGGf. 55c. An engagement occurred on theGlh nearldstedt, in which the Anstro-Prussian army was victo rious. In an engagement near Oversee and the streets of Flensburg, there were many killed and wounded.

Captain Borland arrived by a tugboat at ten o’clock.nnd report, the ship to be in four fathoms of water off Broad Cove, .lightly heeled dff- the mein deck at low water is two feet under on one side, and at high water Is seven leet under. Ho think, she will hold together if the weather is fair. The only way to get the cargo out is bv divert, and taking her into .hallow water by lift ing her. The weather is thick and foggy, Three mail bags were eared. It is thought bat few passengers are lost, except those in the swamped boat. Some of the firemen probably perished. The Bohemian was bnilt in 1659 and was a, 100 gross tons burden. On the British Register she is clsssed A Ko. ,1. From the statement of a passenger who came up In boat No. 5, I learn that he was standing on the deck at the time of the accident. The steamer patted'the buoy, and the passengers thought it waa the pilot-boat. Immediately after the steamer struck, the boats were got out'salelv with the exception of No. 2, which swamped. "No. 5 took aboard .11 she could hold, including .everal who jumped into the water to them. Being unable to find a landing place, she was rowed up the harbor, fche contained mostly cabin passengers, and some steerage passengers whose names I do not learn, with the exception of a Mr. Brown. The mails saved were from Glasgow to New York, from Glasgow to Cnlilornia, and one bag of papere for Boston. The press despatches were not saved. “ NAHBS or SOME Or THE LOST FASSENOSKB.

Thirty-one have not reported, and five are saved whose names are not on the list, probably being misspelled, and constituting a part of the above thirty one, thas leaving twenty-six to report. Some maybe at the Cape, too ill to come to the city, and some may be distributed about the city, in charitable hands. A force of men has been engaged this afternoon in stripping the wreck. They have recovered thirty.three mailbags, as follows: Ten for Mon treal, three for Hamilton,, six for Toronto, one for Quebec, one for Kingston, four for Portland, three for Chicago, one for Detroit, two for Boßton, and two for New York. The mails were all on deck, ready for delivery, and were washed about and overboard. The steamer lies in the same position as she did this morning. Onr citiaens have already raised for the sufferers over six hundred dollars, and have supplied them with all necessary articles of clothing. The steamship company have fed and housed the passengers, and will forward them to their destinations.

Apprehensions op an Invasion op If art hand. —A private letter received in this city from Hagerstown, Md., states that owing to he apprehensions of a rebel invasion early in the Spring, many of the fanners in that sec tion of the State are selling their farms and stocks preparatory to moving West. Wash ington connty is one of the largest and best wheat-growing counties in the State of Mary land, but since the breaking ont of the rebel lion the farmers have been such heavy losers by having their crops destroyed by the rebel army that many of them put ont an unusually small- crop of. wheat last Fall.—irosft.

So we brought out theshar mg tools and hot water. The sergeant sat down on some knapsacks, and- very soon I had him nicely lathered. I had finished each sid of his face, and caught hold of his nose to cu the beard off beneath it, when just as Iw» prepared to use the razor, whiff! bang! away went the hand and head Where thgy went I never knew.

I wasn’t laid up much, and when I went into camp again, the bow had many a laugh with me about it; but I never could get any of them to let me shave their laces. They thought it rather dangerous fun. About sis weeks after, I got my discharge, and am now on my way to Orleans county. Nam York Sun. A Southern Lotaiist. — W ehave mentioned the death of Hon.'John E. Bonligny,~a Union member of Congress from Louisiana—one of the few Southern men who adhered to the cause of the Union from the very; beginning, at the sacrifice of all his property and great numbers of his oldest and most devoted friends. He was a man of ability and of high char acter; and his action in this contest involved sacrifices and losses on his part which few of our Northern people can fully understand." He leaves his family unprovided for. His last efforts were to secure for them, at the hands of the Committee on Private T.nrut Claims in Congress, compensation for property taken by the Government for public uses. At the last Congress the was favorably con sidered by the same committee, and thero would seem to be special reasons of decided force why it should receive prompt attention from the present Congress. "We feel confident that the peculiar circumstances of the case will lead the committee to take as early action as possible upon it.—A. Y. Times. J A Joes which had a Sejuocs Tshhisaiios'. —Some silly young men think it is “a capital" joke” to publish the marriage of two parties who perhaps have no idea of uniting their future lives. Often this is “done for fun,” sometimes malrciohsly. Every newspaper is liable to be imposed upon in this way, in spite ofcall precaution. It is well for those who are thus disposed to perpetrate a senseless joke to know that the newspapers and the public have some protection in the law. A few days since a fraudulent marriage notice was sent to the Boston Journal and the Taunton Gazette. The matter was placed ,in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Thayer, of Taunton, for investigation* who traced the fraud to Samuel TV: Day, of Mansfield. Day was arraigned before the Police Court in Taunton oh Saturday, and pleaded guilty to the charge. The case was continued for two week?, at the request of the defendant, for sentence. This case should be a warning to others who are tempted by exuberant silliness to violate the law, as well as the personal rights of others. —Boston Journal. Silver anb Gold bt thb Tos.—SUTer quar ters and gold dollars hare so long been rare curiosities in the States east of the Rocky Mountains, that gold and silver by the ton has a very fabulous sound to the masses. Even nickel cents are hoarded, and shown to children as “pretty coins,” if new and bright. Not so with our “Silver State,” Nevada. - The Vir ginia Territorial Enterprise of January 23d, "says:—Yesterday morning Wells, Fargo & Co. shipped thirty-two bags of bullion from-their office in this city which weighed 2.343 pounds, valued at $61,977. For the past three days the shipments from this one office have averaged $40,000 per day. Knißn.—A Mr. Gregory, an engineer on the Reading Railroad, employed in running a “pusher,”was killed on the siding that leads to Steam Forge, on Saturday, by coming in collision with another engine, which happened to be on the same track unknown to him. He attempted to jump, and fell under the other engine, by which he had a leg cut off, and received other injuries from which he died; He was a resident ot Sixth street, in this city. —Reading Gazette. Tes 'Vxraxoo On. Trad*. —The Oil City Register, in its review of the oil trade for last week, says: “The market has been active for the past week, and a considerable amount has changed hands at prices slightly higher. Tho advance we consider mainly legitimate, and consequent upon the favorable news from Europe, and enhanced quotations in New York. The dally production of oil at present we esti mate at scarcely 4,000 barrels! There have been no new wells of consequence struck lately. The shipments from the wells to the • railroad have been considerable, during the past ten days, thus lessening the amount held in tanks along Oil Creek, which we estimated last week at from 35,000 to 40,000 barrels. We give as the ruling quotations, s4a4 50 at the wells, and ssas 25 per barrel, at this point. We heard of one sale on Tuesday, on the Ham. HcClintoek Farm, at $4 76 per barrel, but this was above the market price. The market closes firm with a decided upward tendency and a good demand.” Schoson-Gexeeal Haumoxb’s Case.—The eourt-martial of General Hammond is still pro gressing in Washington city. The evidence for the Government is nearly, concluded. There are between thirty and forty witnesses for the defence,among whom are the Secretary of War and Dr. Joseph R. Smith, Gen. Ham mond’s chief assistant, now Medical Director of the department in Arkansas. It will pro bably be three or four weeks before the exami nation concludes. . Cotton Plantations.— Owing to the ad vance in cotton, caused by the war, its cultiva tion has become so profitable that the now treasury agent in’Louisiana has raised tha regulated wages of the freedmen to $25 per month. narmmmaa
