AT LONDON BRIDGE. Tart lair —St.,entad, 34,8 Annum*. In. Os. ibedeanew—Morning, lb. 23sa Afterros, 1646 a. LONDON, NONDA r, APRIL 14. iT is difficult to discover the utility of repeating on the 11th of April the stlf-same pualiameatary piece which wan played just two months previous. There was then some novelty, name interest, some illusion. Now there was nothing of the kind, either in the pertiongs s or the parts. 'f he protection ists then mustered 267; mulisters,26l. Whereat. on Friday night the protectionists numbered 249, and ministers 263, a diminution about equal nn both aides. The' more moderate of the Irish maleontents reflect' to too further in the erunade against free trade. Still not a few' mischief-makers, who are by ao mums furl/ n, swelled the tore vote. moist onufissi that the result is neither encou raging to minister., uor in it calrulate(l to give froth confidence to fret trade. It displays the protectionist phalanx as kept firm and compact by the pro-pert of power, and as not unlikely to obtain it, should they, IPA Lard Nottumis filing', be able to coinplete by their ultra-prettentuntisni that void in their ranks which premetiortism has left. The remaining Imiliouuvn , of the s ession will no doubt be turned to thin 'tarpon:. lord STAN t.r:v neither wants to grasp power nor to dissolve at ilrthlitto Iles views are tunnel to the gnat electoral struggle ; and, to make the financial and papal debate contribute to the in terests of party in that struggle, will henctfiwth be the mile idea of leading men in parliament. It is assminhiug with what wondrous politeness the itultlie, and all classes of it, are treated in such an epoch.

THE rejection of Mr. FERRAND at Aylesbury is at all events a recognition by a majority of its electors of the value of good manners, propriety of language, and gentlemanly canduct and habits in their repre sentative. For, irrespectively of his political opinions, Mr. FEKRAND it, on the ground of intemperance of thought. words, and acts, wholly unfitted to represent any constituency in which the ordinary influences of education, responsibility, intelligence, and respecta bility, produce their natural effects on political senti ments. Strong, and even irreconcilcable, as are our dff ferenci of opinion on many important questions, and actively as those differences ace brought to bear on legislation, they are nevertheless quite compatible with the interchange of mutual re spect with the exercise of charity as to motives, with the predominance of goodwill, friendship, and esteem, in public and in private affairs, with good nature, good feeling, and good manners. We may fight our political battles rudely and roughly ; give hard knocks, and use strong language occasiona ll y exaggerate the importance of our own success, and depreciate the merits of our adversaries; but as "one touch of nature makes the whole world kin," so in the midst of all these political struggles and contests there is a great deal of kindliness, a strong under current of justice, a real belief that, whilst we ourselves are not altogether the angels we profess, neither are our opponents quite the demons we some times describe them to be. In all England there is but one flagrant exception to this state of things; and this is Mr. FERRAND. In his mind seem to meet, to rage and to overflow all the bud passions that can afflict a politician ; there "envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness," riot in furious disorder; he never meets a man in public controversy who rube does not malign, asperse, anti blackguard: his ingenuity is ever at work to discover bad motives to detract and to libel. No matter whether it be a body of Lancashire manu facturers or a Prime Minister, whenever they do not , agree with Mr. FERItAND, they are denounced by , him a+ all that is vile, abominable, greedy, rapacious, . and cruel. Dissent from hint, and von are a con spirator, a rogue, a liar, a villain, a traitor, and any thing worse that his foul tongue can lay hold of. Differ from him, and you can base nu honest convictions, no proper motives, no morality, no honour. According to him, the Poor-Law Board is a hug" conspiracy against the relief of pauperism : Lam ashire a great conspirace to enslave Ahica and , ruin English agriculture'; and every liberal in the empire is thinking of nothing but putting him clout'. Ile is a sort of Malay running a muck, careless of , whose bowels he thrusts his knife into—a political • Just look nt him at Aylesbury. Ms opponent them was the leady ror the Chaneers . bar—a man who had refused an Equity judir , hip—a learned lawyer—a mild, acromplished gentleman a person given to precision and accuracy of statement—who, to place such matters on their lowest footing, could not aft:wil to make himself 1 liticaii ridiculous. Well. no sootier did Mr. lirrtir.u. reach Aylesbury, than outpour* d this roan-r a budget of false hoods. all aiming at the depmeiation of Mr. Ili:- personal honour. lie was a mt-re venal itolitician, ready to sell himself to any party. Ile was a tory at Shaftesbury. a At lag at Syli sbury ; he had sought the assistance of the tory whipper-in to stand fur Shoreham; in short, Mr. IlEritrit. was assailed with all the scandalous gossip that Mr. FEItItAXn cooed pick up, and every wool of it was untrio, for at sioirkAory Mr. WM; Lit. supported Sir 1:i ua.yrr triumphs ; at Shoreham he was pressed to come forward as a liberal of that stamp, and nt Aylim.hury he appeared in that elutruett r. Hut, had he been an angel, he could not have escaped Mr. FEttlt Ws malice. The rejection of such a man at Aykshrory is there ram in itself, and irrespeetiyely of politics, a contri bution to good sense anti "rood manners, fur which all gentlemen ought to b thankful. The return of Mr. Itcrum.i. is however matter of ronterutolution for other n amots than that it excludes Mr. Ft to t.mmin from the I louse of Commons. In the first plum. Mr. l'ntt:ANi. went to Aylembory, he told the ebston , " at the call of the hailer of his party, to fight the great and mighty battle of protection ;' ' and he means of Mr. Mt mfr. he has las n defeated in die contest. Now. Aylesbury is what is called an 44;1-Wafturel honing . h ; a Lime part of its tsar-film in,. are farmers the halt-sawn of the town are greatly tkpendent on agricultural custom: and, nt the moment of the "light," a motion of importance to a i rrieulture was depending in the House of Commons. Yet not toile is u protectionist candidate defeated; but, during the nomination, one of the leading thnnerm announced his adherence to for trade, whilst another. Mr. Ilotlarrox, was there. as usual at Ash-,bury, defending its interests. Th.. result of the election is therefore unfavourable to any mtnrn to protection: the leaders of the party sent Mr. MAUI %ND there to light that battle; and they awl be and it have been defeated. At a junc f its the ]cement. n, as Mr. GLADSTONE reminds us, Lord - ST NE' has placed a return to proteetbai as the leading feature of his policy, this result of an appeal. even to Aylesbury. is napoilant. In the next place. the contest ups ars to have been uncontaminated with those praetiees for which .131 e-bury has hitherto been notorious. If Mr. Fiat- R %ND maid. after the election. have raised the least /1111110.111 us to the islements of Mr. Brotald.'s sue- I , ecsis he would, we may be Pure, have given to the slightest grounds the worst of words. lint nothing of Ow sort fell.from him; he " left the town for his seat in Yorkshire" without venturing to hint or in sinuate that Mr. Bromm. owed his seat to corrup tion. bribery, or treating. We have a right, there fore. to ai•isunw that the liherul cause was not so dis graced on this occasion, and that the free-trade triumph at Aylesbury is the honest expres si• .11 or ,ketoral purity. Let us, therefore. hope that purity may prove as infectious as impurity w. 0.; and that, through Mr. liamtEl.r.. A ‘ \ I,,bury, may le-acquire the character it hail preciously so seriously damaged. Rut it is not merely the vote which the result of this election gives to free trade that is so valuable; the member in and through whom that vote is ac quired greatly increases its value. The adherence of Mr. ItErtimo. to free trade and enlightened political views generally, is only another proof that protection is nieeted by almost every man of logical. and culti vated, and sell'-dependent mind in the kingdom; that free trade is not a party cry, but a deep. 'lamest. individual conviction of men com petent to come to a right conclusion: and that iffiservatioo, retlei•tion. and study, are only confirm ' ing the adherence and devotion of the learning, the • intelligence. and the indepentlyinc of the country to • the polity. On the one hand, all the ability of the • realm is enlisted in its support and detYnee; on the other is a great party, so ftwble intelltytually, that r its chi' f could not form a ministry out of its ranks, I when he had an opportunity of advancing in office a - return to protection. A few Mulish. angry. and vin -1 dietive Insh members may for a while damage and endang v the came of free trade by their votes; but - the intelligeut mind of Great Britain is made up.

FRANCE. PARIS. Rhicansr. The Conalitutionnel explains the ma j ority which rejected M. St. lleure's motion for extinguishing the ministry. About thirty Legitimists rallied to the old -party which supported the President list January in his sparred with Changarnier, and this gave the new ministry a majority of .52. About 60 members, however, stayed away; amongst these were Thiers, Changarnier, Ilufaure, Itemusat, lierryer, uud La martin° ; thus showing that the President has by no means fully satisfied the majority by the choice that he has made. On the other hand, by Moli, De Broglie, and Odillon Barrot are to be founeamong 4 those who gave their votes in favour of the ministry. It is not yet distinctly known how long Thiers and Dufaure will regard passively the operations of the new cabinet. Probably they will suspend active opposition until June, when a motion fur the revision may be brought forward. The touchstone of the cabinet is legality. The first symptom of an attempt to attack the constitution will . be the commencement of their difficulties. . The advanced members of the tirrs-parti, as Victor Lefr.ine and Barthelemy St. Hilaire, the moderate left, represented by Lanioriciere and Cavaignac, and the whole Mountain en ,nuue, and many of the pointu legitimists. as Leo de Laborde, juintd in the cote of censure. _ _ . There are only two of the ministers who are new to office, M. de . Chasseloup-Lanbat and M. de Cron neiltes. The former was councillor of state under Louis Philippe, and the latter secretary at the minis try of justice under the restoration. The ministry of instruction seems to have become the inheritance of the leOtimists, and M. de Cron seiltcs will no doubt continue to administer that de partment in the same pious spirit as his prulecessors, MM. de Fallow: and de Darren. One hears continually alleged against M. Leon Faucher that lw is untipathic and unconciliating ; as if these were serious defects in a minister, whose opinions were just, whose principles were wise, and whose intentions were honest. In how M. Faucher possetiscs the latter resplisites for office will be very shortly seen. In the meantime it is general% be lieved that he is fur revision at all hazards and the strict maintenance of the electoral law of May. But the socialist papers are r erfectly furious, and all but menace insurrection. This violent opposition front the organs of the Mountain is that feature in the reception of the. new ministry, which augurs best for their duration in office; for as long as there are threatening storms in the democratic quarter the I majority will be glad to support any ctibiuet tluit will face them with energy. M. Vuisst, ex-. Minister of the Interior, M. de Ger ming, ex Minister of Finance, and M. Schencider, ex-Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, have been promoted from the rank of officers to that of com manders of the order of the Legion of Honour. M. de Rover, ex-Minister of JuAice, has been appointed 1 a member . of the order. . . M. thrund, ex Minister of Public Instruction. is to resume his place us member of the Permanent Sec tion of the Superior Council of that department. The 'sedimentary meeting of the Item des Pyra nudes yesterday renewed its monthly bureau. M. de Itroglie was unanimously eketed president, in the room of M. Lion Faucher, since become minister. The sitting of the Assembly presented no feature of interest. M. Leon Faucher announced that he wished tar the adjournment of the motions of Pascal, Dupnit, and Baze, relative to the street sale of news papers, in order to study the question, which the freshly-installed ministry had not yet had time to do. The Strasbourg a n d Sarrebourg railway isexpected to be opened on the Ist of June. The committee on the budget was yesterdav called on to give its opinion on the fortifications of the road stead and port of Cherbourg. It . expressed its ad viets as to the urgency of continentals:: the works of defence of the roadstead and the fortification of the breakwater, hot stated that, from tie , present state of the finanees, the notification of the Insole should be for the present postpned. The report of the com mittee on the hill demanding a credit to continue these works has 6111 presented. The minister of war, with the approbation of the President of the Republic, has nominated a commis sion of eight members, under lthe presidency of Gen. Oudinot de Reggio, nir exam ring in all their de tails the questions relative to the conveyance by railway of troops, horses, and all descriptions of war maVrerf. In his report on tie, subject to the President, the minister dwells on the vast change which railways will effect in war, both for attack and defence, and he points out the necessity of the country being fully prepared to make the best use of them in the event of an emergeney. The mem• bers of the commission are military officers, and gen tlemen connected with railways, aud with the rail— way department of public works. the Ntottottuin, with the exception of 20 members, is about to emigrate into the provinces during the Easter recess. The 20 members who will remain will constitute themselves into a committee of proro gation during the above period. SUNDAY EVENIVG, The .11mitear contains decrirrs --- iiiiixTiaiingM.

The appointment of Admiral Vaillant to replace Admiral Itruat, as Commander on the West India station, is as° officially announced. M. Lacrosse is the government candidate for the post of vice-president of the Assembly, vacated by Leon Faucher. The conoadttce fur the better observance of the Sablrath nodpe days has presented to the Assembly a project of law, of which the following is the sub shame : The public works of the state, and all works contracted for with the state ' skill be suspended on Sundays andfl'fc days. They may, however, be continued, in case of urgency, by order of the prefects or mayors. All works on the public highways or roads executed by private persons arc also to be swqwnibid, except in ease of urgency. All contracts for hiring and all regulations interlering with the liberty of the work men to suspend work WI Sundays and/ e 'days are void, This erudition is applicable to workmen belonging to all the sects recognised by the state, for the day of religions rest of each sect. This provision does not, 'however, extend to works of urgency or nee, ssity, nor to callings which re quire, from their nature, a daily and continuous labour, and which will be indicated by a regulation of the public administration. On Sundays and Pc days a autfiricnt time will be afforded to soldiers and sailors, except in eases of UTIVaICy on service, for the performance of their religious duties. tinned statement had appeared, we find the following article inserted on his behalf in the Gozwita di Boma of the 19th Feb., 1846 : Monsignor Nicholas Wiseman, Bishop . of Melipotamus lit partibus, one of the eight apostolic mars of England, desires it to be known that, whilst he is occupied with the duties of his sacred ministry, he takes no part whatever in the direction or compilation of the weekly journal the Tab/et, compiled by a catholic, and to which some persona h a ve supposed him to be a contributor. The above-named monsignor, moreover, certifies that he is very far from fol lowing the exaggeratsd maxims of such a journalist. Whether Cardinal Wiseman would consider the arguments of the Tablet " exaggerated maxims" at the present moment it is useless to inquire. Perhaps his Eminence would reply, with the poet Monti, "Cambiano i saggi a seconds de' casi r for pensieri." An arrival of some importance is expected hers just now, it being currently reported that the Grand IDukc of Tuscany intends to pay a visit to Pio Nouo one of these days, in order to bee whether he cannot induce his Holiness to be more pliant in the affair of the railway from Siena to Rome than Cardinal An tonelli has shown himself to the Tuscan minister, Baldasseroni. It is so clearly demonstrated, how ever, that the papal states would suffer greatly in a commercial point of view from the realization , of that line to the exclusion of all other lines in the I state, that it is to be hoped that not even the paternal and filial embraces of the two sovereigns will lead to such a result, especially as it is shrewdly supposed that the Tuscan government is only being made al cat's paw of in the negotiation, and that Austrian in terest and advantage are behind the scenes, ready to develop themselves the moment the plant is put into execution. I have, by-the-bye, a word or two more to say touching the conduct of the Austrians in An cona. In the first place, the affair of the collision is in Oahe qua: the British consul finding himself in the disagreeable predicament of having paid the damage money to the Austrians, with only a very slippery credit in return from the impel authorities. That the pilot was in some measure to blame, and, therefore, ought to be held responsible for the damage done to the Plarnix, appears from the fact, that the master of the Albert, Captain Care. lodged a' complaint with Mr. Moore, charging the pilot with carelessness and negligence; but the pilot replies with a counter-charge of negligence against the Austrian connnander, I'latthy, for not having dis played a light un board pus vessel, and accuses him also of having omitted a legal survey of the mischief' done after the collision, which step was repudiated by the Austrian consul as insulting, and without pre cUlent in the case of a ship of war. Monsignor Amici is expected to return from Home shortly, and the dispute will then probably be arranged. Another occurrence in Ancona will serve to demonstrate the tender mercies of Austrian rule, and will be hardly credited in England, where judicial proceedings are public and equitable. Exactly a week ago, that is, on the 28th of last month, the stick was remitted to, that favourite instrument of Austrian eloquence, in the prisons of Santa Palagia, as o mode of extracting evidence, thus reviving, in fact, the atrocious middle age system of judicial torture. The bastinadoing operation took place. at five ocloek in the afternoon, on the persons of two countrymen, against whom, for three months previously, the papal police had' been compiling a series of accusations, with out ever being able to bring forward ally satisfactory proof of their guilt. The judges not being able to come to any conclusion, for 'want of evidenee, the papal coinmissury ordered the accused individuals to lie handed over to the military tribunal, and, aceurtling to its direc tions, the prisoners, instead of being set at liberty for want of evidence, were subjected to the judicial torture of the hastinado, in the presence of a judge and notary, who were ready to take down any depo sitions which tlTe said bastinado might produce. 0110 prisoner underwent eighteen blows, and the other five (fifteen none being. reserved for the following day), protesting their innocence all the time. A second sitting of this singular kind of court was to take place on the 29th, at the saute hour, when several other prisoners, amongst whom a young woman of twenty years old, accused of being the lover of one of the amused parties, were to be well beaten, in order to make them famish the required evidence, whether true or false. This brutal affair had created such a feeling of horror in Ancona that the British consul had been entreated to inter pose his pest offices with the Austrian general and the President of the 'tribunal, to induce them to con duet their proceedings in a rather more legal form, but up to an hour before the time fixed for the basti nadoing (to which period my account reaches) he hail limn unable to etteet anything in favour of the prisoners. Some audacious scoundrels richly deserve the stick here tiir infesting the neighlwurhood of the ruins and attacking ally solitary kreigner whom they may find sketching or untiquarianising in sequesteird spots. Three of these ruffians assaulted the Hey. Mr. Currie in a latie behind the Colosseum, between the churches of St. Nero Achille() and St. Stefano Rotondo, two mornings ago, robbing him of u valuable gold watch and chain, and as many of the Pope's lace rated notes us he happened to have about him. This took place at 11 o'clock in the morning, and is the second time that an Englishman has been assaulted in daylight near the Colosseum within the last few weeks, the first case being that of Colonel Smith. the proprietor of a beautiful villa on the Palatine Hill, who was first begged of by a man, and then attacked for having offered him only two baioechi (one penny). The scoundrel diseharged a great stone at the colonel's head, which might have killed him had it struck him flail in the forehead in stead of grazing his temple us it did. SPAIN. MADRID, APRIL R. The elections for the new Cortes will take place on the 10th May, and the chamber be convoked on the 2nd of June. The result is expected to be favourable to ministers.

Gonzales Bravo and the Duke of Rivas are talked of as likely to succeed to that post. ITALY. GERMANY.

The Hermann 's passage has been lengthened, on account of her having, unfortunately, to tow all up the Ch: 4 a dismasted and damaged schooner, the Hope, of Yarmouth, bound from Liverpool to Holland, with salt. The Hope was tacking across the Channel on the wind, when the Hermann was coming up. The ships being nearly together, the' schooner appeared to be going about, and the Her mann kept her course, when the schooner suddenly filled away again, and came foul of the steamer, and was dismasted, and her hull seriously damaged. The crew of the schooner were immediately , got on board the Ile.mann, and every attention paid to them and their ship was taken in tow, and brought into Cowes. Although the fault of Cie accident rests entirely with the schooner, the American Ocean Steam Navigation Company have very liberally resolved to be at the expense of repairing the damage.

TRANRPORTATION.—THE I.:CKYIELD BCWILARS.— On Wednesday 13 elate:its sentenced to transportation, in cluding the seven I:el:8,1d burglars, were removed from the Lewes prison to the House of Correction, l'reston, Lan cashire, by order of the Secretary of State, there to undergo 18 months' coidinemeut in separate cells. This, we under stand (nut authority, is, by recent government arrange ments, to form th , first stage in every sentence of transpor tation. The second stags is labour upon pu'ilic works in some convict establishment, which is to continue until the fir-t half al. the sentence is expired (transportation for life being rek.in, d2A 21 years.) The last stage is transporta tion iloedf, wla n the convict is sent abroad to undergo the rem.eininx half of his sentence, under circumstances vary ing according to his behaviour iu the previous stages. Were it generally LTIOWO that tninaportation is to be carried out in this manner, beginning with a long period of separate confinement, the sentence would not be so lightly thought of as it sometimes is. The 17ekfi,ld burglars, we are in formed, are quite of this mind now, as it regards them selves. We are able, however, anal thankful to add that during this solitary stew.

ENGLAND AND DENMARK. (Ikondi War.) (neon OUR ORX COItHESPONDT:Cf.) The spirit of the Danes is essentially anti-German; and everything that smacks of Germany is odious; therefore it was that the Schleswig-}holstein war was popular. The return of the Danish grenadiers from the seat of war to Copenhagen was celebrated by s grand festival which lasted a fortnight. The most spacious hall of the royal palace in Copenhagen was titled up at the expense of the town, and every day in succession for a fortnight saw 1,500 guests assent bled to celebrate the victories of Denmark. Yet in the midst of all this sensible men doubt the speedy settlement of the question of Schleswig Holstein. They doubt that Holstein can ever return to Danish alleiumal under circumstances as thvourable as ex-. isted previous to the breaking out of the war. The most that will have been Realist by strife which has lasted three years, and cost 30,000,000 doll. to the Danish nation is the closer annexation of Schleswig to Denmark. But even that can only be maintained by ensuring to Schleswig such liberal institutions us will enable) it freely to maintain those relations with Holstein which render the duchies really inselswable, and which, in fact, Denmark could nut if she would pre vent. It is an anomaly, indeed, in the position of Denmatic, that she should be obliged, for the sake of her existence, to preserve so German an element as the duchies, yet without a hope of infusing into them that anti-German feeling which characterises so strongly the purely Danish portion of the kingdom. But, though it is impossible to foresee the tanned° fate of the Danish provine,a, labouring as they do under the disadvantages of a complicated succession, it is important to note that, beside thu democratic and aristocratic parties which exist iu every state, there is in Denmark a Scandinavian party, anxious to establish a nationality opposed alike to German and to Russian tendencies. The great obstacle to Scandinavian unity is the jealousyof Sweden. That jealousy is, it seems, much diminished, and were it to la , completely overvome. the results could not but he advantageous to the balance of power in Europe. So at least think those men who have studied the question here. But it must be ad mitted that a glance at the present stato of parties leaves but little hope that tho many difficulties in the way of the settlement of Danish atlliirs can speedily be smoothed down. Meanwhile the King of Denmark is ispular, the people not unhappy, and the endeavoms of mer chants as well as ministers to Invoine indep.ndent of Germany may already be reckoned as premonitory symptoms of what will sltimately be the fate of r/eninark. _ . ..... The expensci of the lute war have much im paired the present vigour of the government. 'l'llo only railway in the country iK that front Itoeskiklo to Copenhagen, a distance of lti English miles; and although the works surveyed tin• the completion of the line to Korsor. on the Great Belt, are in pro gress, the want of funds is so severely tilt, that man• years may elapse before they arc brom;ht to rt termination. The line already laid down has cost upwards of 10,000/. a mile, and that, too, in a level country in which the heaviest gradient is one in 'no. this seems to be a heavy charge; but we were assured that the works could not be made at a cheaper rate, and this great expense is another cause which mili tates against the completion of the line. At present the 10 miles at work are run at the slow pate of an hour. Such is the slow progress of railways ill Den mark. The government in the meanwhile is doing all in its power to reduce its expenditure; largo numbers of soldiers are daily s. at home. 'the house hold is reduced to its smallest ligutr, and many of the royal palaces are being sold otf in order to avoid the necessity of keeping thou up. A trip from Copenlee.,ssi to Elsinore took us througlitwo nt theso royal residences that are übout to pies into other lauds, viz., Friedensburg, about 2'2 miles frout Co. penhul„wn ; and Nlarienhast. at Elsinore. Alarientust is a desolate place in April, but mast beautiful when its trees, garden, and statues aro decked in summer's garb. Situated ott n ffielivity sloping to the sea, the little cluttean looks out upon the clear waters of the Sound, glistening Ns ith sharp reflections in the Mall light, and bounded on tho horizon by the pleasant hills of the Swedish coast. On taw side the stronghold of Cronborg, which de fends the passage of the Sound, rears its Elizaleethaa towers, whilst ill the distance behind glisten the white hawses of Helmsborg in Sweden, crowned by an ancient tower frowning in dark tones on the sur rounding country. The itmumerable shipping that stud the waters increase the Omni of a Linelseapo unsurpassed in the beauty of its hues, the variety of its componeut parts, and the brilliancy of its colours. Turning for an instant from this pleasing picture, a diffisent one presents itself. In a shady nook away front the sea. the eye rests on a pleasant grovo of trees. There, in a sequestered spit. near a brawling limpid stream. staid; the tomb of Ilandet. 'Ti,, a little mound of earth. un the top of which stands a small obelisk. This obelisk, formed of stones neatly superposed. resembles a section of a cone. No inscription breaks the mystery of the place, and tho mind wanders undisturbed in Shakspearian dreams, and such reveries as moss and lichens can create.. 'The ghost of the Prince of ttttt ark has never frightened the peaceful habitants Mariodust. and to this may be ascribed the unbelief of Elsinore gos sips, that Daudet ever lived in aught but the imagination of our best known dramatist. The Cronborg of Elsinore is supposed to defend the passage of the Sound. Its butteries, now for the most part unmanned, are raised above one soother in tiers, simulating those of a man-of-war. But this distance to the Sweden side of the Sound is three miles, and though perhaps one ship might not bo able to pass undamaged, it seems possible for a squadron to me through with many chances of escape. The Castle of Cronborg is a splendid build ing of Elizabethan style and solid stone—a strong hold of sufficient strength. It is a vast quadrangle standing in the midst of waters, which are its de fence and ornament. In ono of the stone-walled chambers in the basement was once immured a scion of our royal house, the unfortunate Caroline Matilda of England. Cold and cheerless was the stay which she made in these dungeon-like apartments. A rusty stove, emblazoned with the royal urns, is now the only furniture that connects the place with such ideas of comfort as Englishmen bring front home. But many a year has passed since a ray of heat has warmed the wretched walls of this state prison, and it was with a chill alike on mind and body that we left the place which for a time enclosed a princess in whose fault there was so mueh to excuses and to pity. Besides the Cronborg there is little either grander beautiful in the buildings of Elsinore. The streets 1 are narrow mud ill-paved as usual—frequented, too, for the most part by-sailors of all nations, whose drunken brawls at times disturb the sleep of the more peace able inhabitants. A little harbour giving shelter front the powerful stream of the Sound, and a capital collection of birds gathered together by the assiduous care of Mr. Shack Steenberg, arc the only sights of Elsinore. Friedensborg is but a few miles from Elsinore, and has been rarely used except as a hunting rendezvous by the royal family. Nothing can be more beautiful than the park and the avenue leading up to this vast hunting lodge. In the glades of greenwood lie hid many a deer, and many are the silent nooks enclosed in verdure where moss-decked statues rear their solitary forms, and where such love scenes us Wat teau was wont to paint might not =appropriately be laid. A curious collection of old pictures fills the numerous rooms of Friedensburg, none of them of such importance as to warrant special notico or comment. Friederithshorg is the royal residence of the kings of' Denmark, built by Christian IV., it is said, after the designs of Inigo Jones; it is a splendid specimen. of Elizabethan architecture, and well worthy tho fame of that celebrated architect. Wander where you may through its numberless apartments, you sco nought but portraits of deceased kings, queens, and their relations, devoid indeed of pictorial merit, but I gaining some importance from their being genuine likenesses. It is not of these reminiscences of Friederichsborg, however, that I should first speak, but rather of the kind hospitality with which we were received there. The King who was then residing in the palace, honoured us withal' interview, i tutuirmg with interest into the incidents of our jousiev, stating leis belief that the disagree:abilities we had ;offend in the shape of bad roads in Jutland would soon be remedied, and concluding by expressing his deep sense of gratitude
