[Late advices from Christiania on the sub- ject of the dissolution show that the Norwegian people, in a referendum vole taken on 13th ult. pronounced in lavour of a separation.with Sweden with remarkable though not unexpect. ed unanimity. Of 450,000 vaları, 320,000 cast ballots. While the full result was not known lor some hours, up to midnight returns showed that about one person in three thousand voted against the distolution. The difference between the total number of voters and the number of votes cast was attributable to ab- santees, such as sailors abroad and others who were out of the country at the time. There were scenes of the greatest enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of women who did not have the right of franchise signed petitions in the streets indorsing the dissolution. In Christiania and other cities the total population turned out, everyone wearing long streamers of the nation- al colours, and pictures of Premier Michelsen. One of the niembrs of the Cabinent said, that evening: The result surpasses the most sanguine expectations. The next official steps will be taken after the thorthing meetson August 218, when the result of the plebiscite will be communicated to Sweden through the Swedish Cabinet and the Riksdag.
