DISRAELI has framed a resolution on the Danish question in terms so broad, compreheu aive, and elastic, that it would be difficult for unpre judiced representatives of English feeling and opinion to record their votes against the sense and purport of the Address to the Crown which the leader of the Opposition intends to move on Mon day next. Four distinct propositions are enun ciated in this address. 1. Regret at the failure of the Conference ; 2. Regret at the failure of the avowed objects of the Conference ; 3. Regret that the great influence of this country is lowered in the councils of Europe ; 4. Regret that the securi ties of peace are thereby diminished. To express regret at the failure of the Confer ence is not to approve the assembling of a Confer ence without a basis, or with no firmer or more positive basis than " the restoration of peace in " Northern Europe." It is open to those who sympathize with Germany, as to those who sympa thize with Denmark, to regret that a Conference which met for the purpose of restoring peace, should have led to the resumption and extension of war. No member or supporter of the present Government will affect to deny that the avowed object of the Conference was to re store peace in the North of Europe, and that object has not been attained. Mr. DISRAELI'S third proposition is no doubt more susceptible of controversy. Has the just influence of England been lowered in the councils of Europe by the failure of these negotiations f We know not what considerations Mr. KINGLAKE'S amendment may adduce in behalf of Prussia and Austria, or of the German Diet, whose action these two greatmilitary Powers have superseded. But it will require no excessive ingenuity on the part of a ministerial advocate, or a German apologist, to maintain that the mere attempt to restore peace in the North of Europe on any terms acceptable to the belligerents deserved commendation rather than censure. On both sides of the House the majority are in favour of peace. We dismiss altogether as an outworn bugbear the assumption that * Tory Ministers or members are always hankering after war. Fifty years, or even a quarter of a century ago, such a theory was not perhaps unfounded ; but who believes at this time of day that men like Lord STANLEY, Sir Bt-LWER LYTTON, Mr. HENLEY, Sir JOHN PARINGTON, Lord DERBY himself, are eager to plunge their country into war, with all its enormous responsibilities and risk', for the sake of convincing the people of England that military genius is as rare on one aide of the Atlantic as on the other, and that contractors grow fat at the expense of their patriotism as easily in London as in Washington or New York? Her .MAJERTY'Ii Go vernment went into Conference, according to their own express and repeated declarations, to preserve the integrity and independence of Denmark. They have not only not succeeded in preserving that integrity and independence ; they have again and again, from point to point, counselled Denmark to give up her territory, and to renounce lier rights. At the very last meeting of the Plenipo tentiaries, it is true, Lord Ressztz gave utterance to a solemn vow in behalf of the principle of the independence and integrity of the Danish monarchy ; but vows of right, however solemn, are of little wotth when a flagrant wrong has been consummated and condoned. Has the great infjuence of England, then, been lowered by the result of this pompous and futile Conference ? That is the question for every Eng lishman at home or abroad, and for every well wisher to England, to ponder at this moment, and the Opposition is only taking a constitutional ad vantage in putting it. Whatever may be the vote of a moribund Parliament, the verdict of the country is pronounced already, and that verdict was anticipated, not so much by the derisive ejacu lations as by the eloquent silence of the House of Commons on Monday evening, when the PREMIER, after justifying the desertion of Denmark by that Power which of all others had counselled non resistance as a condition of support, insinuated the possibility of Parliament being suddenly called to gether during the recess to sa•cdan the Leh of the Channel Fleet for the preservation of King Cnaisruar, when his kingdom and the capitalof Denmark are no more. England, no doubt, can very well afford to be indifferent to the taunts of foreigners. Moderation is always a sure sign of strength. A giant may well be meeker than a stripling and more forbearing than a dwarf. But can England, the example and the surety of all free states and of all nation" aspiring to be free, suffer any statesman to declare in her name that, single-handed, she is powerless to defend the right wheresoever assailed, or to prevent the wrong by whomsoever committed ! Against all such search ings of the national conscience Ministers may urge the blessings of peace and the miseries of war. " We " have kept the peace." But Lord DERBY made • sound distinction on Monday evening between "im mediate" and "ultimate" peace. On such a question as this we write without respect for persons or for parties, and we accept good words even from the lips of political adversaries. That Polish question to which directly or indirectly may be traced all the questions that have since afflicted, and still threaten the happiness of Europe, was considered to be settled in the interests of peace, when the neutral Powers declined to arrest the perpetration of a monstrous crime. If it was but a begging of the question to boast of preserv ing peace when Poland was abandoned, is it less a fallacy now to boast of preserving the peace because Denmark is forsaken T If, indeed, the dignity and influence of England are to be measured by the convenience and safety of a ministry, why, then, perhaps it may be fair to take credit for preserving peace when a ministry is preserved. But if a great country is destined to 'arrive many successive ministries, it must look beyond their present comfort and convenience. No great nation that desires and deserves to live can rest and be thankful for the privileges of senility. It may be that her Ma.rcerv's present Ministers can defend their policy on stronger grounds than any which the protocols of the Con ference suggest, that they can plead difficulties in the accomplishment of their duty more delicate and more embarrassing than any which they are at liberty to disclose—embarrassments under which any other ministry must have succumbed. That is a way of meeting Mr. DISRAELI'S resolution which it concerns their discretion to adopt. At any rate it is no duty of an independent press to abstain from honest criticism, because criticism is easier than policy. Clle Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Just 28.

A Milan letter says :--" The King this morning honoured with his presence the national rifle-match. His Majesty arrived on the ground at 8 in the morning, and fired ten shots, three of which bit the white, and four the black disc. There was a great crowd round the King, and his sucesesful shots were loudly cheered.

DEATH OF THE VICAR or SCARDOROUGH.—The death took place on Monday of the Rev. J. W. 'Whiteside, LLD., vicar of Scarborough. At the time he was the guest of the Rev. T. H. Porter, D. D., at Tullyhogue, near Dan- gannon, county Tyrone. The intelligeoce of his death was telegraphed to Scarborough by Dr. Porter. The hut letter received from Dr. Whiteside was dated from Doomoyle on Thursday lest. He was then about leaving that place for Tullyhogne, after having enjoyed the society of several of his old college (floods. Dr. Whiteside was the brother of the Right Hoe. James Whiteside- He wee, we believe, a native of Dublin. He was • scholar of Trinity College, Dublin. He afterwards took the Segreesof B.A. awl M.A. et the same university, and more recently took that of D.C.L. The laiwnamed degree was also conferred upon him at Cambridge. He formerly held the living of Keswick, Cumberland, where he enjoyed the intimate acquaintance of Southey. He was afterwards vicar of • parish at Ripon, sod during the last 18 years he has been vicar of Scar borough. Dr. Whiteside was 58 years of age. Lord Hotham is the patron of the now vacant living. PILGRIMAGE or PROTESTANT MONKS.--On Mon day last the monks of this city (Norwich) made • pilgrimage to the celebrated well of Saint Waist.° at Bawburgb, whose waters are supposed to have wooderful properties, As this well has been the scene of many such pilgrimages, and is likely again to tie a spot of interest, it will be proper to state that it is situated io the little village of Bawburgb, or Haber, about four miles from Norwich, and a short die tame from Taverham. The well is about three feet in diameter and about the some in depth, situated in an orchard; it is lined with flint stones, and between these stones a most peculiar kind of moss is found, which, though black in appearance when gathered, soon turns to • beautiful green colour. The moss is supposed to possess curative properties of no ordinary kind, and many country people still believe that the water of the well is efficacious in many diseases. To this place the monks weeded their way in greed procession, as to the shrine of one of their thief saints. The "brethren," with the whole of their " regalia" hi • cab, left Norwich quietly until the city was left some distance behind them, and then, having robed themselves in gorgeous vestments, an acolyte bearing an immense brass cross, proceeded singing hymns to their destination. Before each village church prayers were said, and by the time they reached the village of Saber, their numbers bad isereesed to about seventy in- dividuals, and the procession had an imposing appearance. Beneath a gorgeous canopy Father Ignatius, who was clothed in a gold and white satin cope, and surrounded by the " brethren" of the order, bearing • great variety of banners, and followed by three little children, bearing the banner of the Guardia. Angel, proceeded to the holy well, where, with candles burning, censers swinging. and amid fumes of incense, the superior sang aloud, " We prelims thee, 0 God!" the audience falling on their faces to kiss the holy earth, after which they were all sprinkled with the water, singing "Sprinkle me, 0 Lord, and I shall be dean," ha The well was then inoessed. and • large number of candle' lighted, and, after a short lecture by the " Father," vespers were begun, and the seam was very imposing, and, doubtless, entertaining to the rusties. Tne senior concluded, • per. feet rush took place for the moss, and every scrap oas tore from the well. The procession then returned to Norwich. It is understood to be the intention of the monks to visit all the " saints' " relics in the county,—Bury rind Nortridt Pool, . ~' ~`, - LAIIiIST INTELLIGBNCTS. A NEW PROPOSITION. The Botschafter of Vienna enters very coolly into a consideration of what would take place in the event of King Christian IX. being replaced upon the throne of Denmark by the Prinoe of Augusten burg. Russia, it says, would push the claims of the Duke of Oldenburg; but it would be the duty of Germany, according to this journal, to favour the candidature of the former prince. OPENING OF THE DANISH P, THE SPEECH OF THE KING OF DENMARK. We have received the full text of the speech of the King of Denmark, read at the opening of the Itigaraad on Saturday, by the President of the CouneiL It was as follows : We, Christian LX., mead to the Rigaraad or. royal salutation. The critical situation of the country and the extraordinary expsesee which the war has already entailed, sod which its continuation may yet further re quire, have imposed upon us the necessity of convoking the Rigsrsad, in order that you may approve of the steps which our government bas taken, and that you may give your consent to the measures intended to create the resources which are indispensable. It is not we who have provoked war; our conscience tell' us that we have done all that was in our power to avoid it. We have been attacked by a superior enemy, under the pretext that we have not observed the airangerneats of 1861 and 1852. Before the commencement of hostilities our adver- arias refused to accept a conference to consult in • friendly way with the other sigaitariesof the London treaty, and it was not until they had seized the greater par t of the pen insula that they consented to its meeting, bat declaring even then that they did not regard themselves as bound by the transactions of 1851 and 1832. During the short time that our reign has lasted we have learnt by bitter experience how little the clearest rights now weigh in the political balance of Europe, and how a king std his people may he abandoned to themselves in the most unequal contest. Therefore it is that when England, sup ported by all the neutral powers which sat in the Conference of London, demanded of us to renounce altogether the por tion of territory belonging to the Danish monarchy situated to the south of the Schlei and Dannewerke, we resigned our selves to submission to a sacrifice which was so grievous to as. Thia sacrifice has not been aocepted by the German powers. We cannot sacrifice more. To the exhortations which have been 'made to us we have responded by a negative, in the firm conviction that our refusal I. that also of the Danish people. May God change the dispositions of the powers that hold the destiny of Europe in their hands ! May He at least grant that the sympathy of one amongst them be transformed into efficacious co-operation ! Hereupon we assure the Ripraad of our royal favour. CHRISTIAN B. (Countersigned) MosiuD. THE "CONFERENCE " AT KARLSBAD. The Debate of to-dey has a letter from Karlsbad, dated Friday last, in which we read : The Emperor of Amnia has not yet left his brother the King of Prussia. Every hoot. brings • new diplomatist and such rumours ! If M. de Rechberg talks for ►n instant with M. de Bismark, and leaves him smiling, Austria and Prairie are declarod to be agreed upon all points ; if M. de Werther exchanges, in passing, • rapid salute with the Duke de Gael:monk a certain coldness has arisen between the cabinet of Berlin and the rebind of the Tuileries; if Prince Windischgratz approaches • circle of generals and re mains in conversation with them, Asst::► is going to rein force the expeditionary army with • new corps ; if the Arch duke Ferdinand takes aside the Duke of Nassau, the eor-t of Vienna is attempting to rally the Germanic Con federation to its projects ; if King Frrienck Wit- Ham stops to talk with the Grand Duchess He lens of Russia, the two governments are seeking an alliance ; a•d if, perchance, the Emperor Francis Joseph joins the group, every imagination is on the wing ; the three northern courts ere eonsu'ting upon every question— the coalition is remade. Here we interpret everything—the smile, the look, the walk, the invitation which has been sent and that which has not been sent ; the conversation and the rencontre ; the dinner which the Emporor accepts. and the proposal which he offers. Even a cup of tea has its aignibration. RUSSIA. The Gazette de Moscow states that on the 4th of June a terrible fire destroyed all the wooden build ings that bad been constructed for the business of the great fair of Nijoi Novgorod. All the shops on the line of the Oka, a vent in length, all the theatres and shows, 30 restaurants, 50 public-houses or hotels, the public baths, and several workshops were destroyed. The Tartar mosque and three or four houses are all that were preserved from the fire. THE POPE AND HIS TROUBLES. The following is the text of the reply made by the Pope to the congratulatory address delivered by Cardinal 3lattei, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Pontiff's accession : The crown which the Lord has deigned to place on the bead of the most humble of his savants has become the object of the plots and artifices of the enemies of the Holy See. One part of those adversaries have never belonged to the church against which they wags an implacable war; another part, after having had the happiness of being born within its pale, have abandoned it to make commas C:0111 with the former. By both of them all means of attack are sioesidercd good —per secutions, vicileace, falsehoods, sad ralumnles. Like Abe°. lom at the gates of Jerusalem, they constantly repeat that if the crown, of which they wish to despoil the Vicar of Jesus Christ, stood on another head, justice would be better dispensed, the people would become freer and happier, and the golden age would again flourish for all. I seed not point oat the gross errors with which such reasoning abounds. Kay those who make use of them have t h e heart pierced not with the spear which went through that of Absolom, but by a ray of divine grace, which would make them aware of the iniquity of the'- actions, sad show them the abyss of the eternity which they approach, blind and deaf, without perceiving the brisk of it. And you who faithfully assist me either in the administration of the shred of state which has been left to me, or in the more difficult one of the nnivecill church, motions to amid me with your fidelity and year devotedoses. I do not arrogate to myself the gift of prophecy, bat although I do not see io the horizon any gleam of hope or any probability of human sesistaace, I nevertheless think I can affirm that our miter ing; our resignation, and our prayers will in the end merit for us from God those mercies which he is sometimes long in granting, but which he refuses to those who serve Him with fear and love.

Austria and Prussia intend to occupy the whole of Jutland, and to keep it es a pledge. They will collect the taxes in Jutland, and employ the proceeds to meet the military expenses. THE POLICY OF ENGLAND. PA aLS, Jung 29, lloiunNo. The Constitutionnel of this morning, in an article signed by M. Limayrac, points out the differenoe existing between the present resolution of Earl Russell and Lord Palmerston and their former policy, whereby passions were aroused which were to remain unsatisfied, and threats made which wore to be followed by no results. The Constitutionnel then says :—" Public opinion in Europe will hardly be able to understand these contradictions, and will find that they weaken the authority and influence of the English government, and that if the negotiations have failed, it was perhaps owing to the reason that these contradictions had been ,foreseen."

PARIS, r1:118DAY EVLWING. Lord Palmerston's pacific speech, of which we have only as yet a telegraphic summary, provokes many satirical remarks and sly hits from the even ing papers. The Patric says that the English prime minister plainly gives leave and license to the Austro-Prussians to conquer JutlaniL It con siders that England, Austria, and Prussia are now substantially agreed as to the fate of Denmark ; and it would have it supposed that France foresaw this agreement from the beginning, and for that reason refused to join in aiding Denmark. The Patric now boasts that the policy of the French government has "defeated English calcu lations !" French intervention would not have saved Denmark—so the Patric affirms—but it re joices to think that " French inaction leaves Eng land to contend with all the embarrassment of a conflict into which she sought to drag France." You see what kindly feelings some of your neigh bours here entertain towards you. The Temps sees a want of logical consequence in Lord Palmer ston's declaration that he will not interfere now, but would interfere in such a case as that of the King of Denmark being taken prisoner. It could understand that the integrity of the Danish monarchy might be considered a European question of sufficient importance to jus tify a great power in going to war for its maintenance. But if Denmark is to be sacrificed, it fails to see why England should interfere for the purely chivalrous purpose of protecting the Danish I monarch. After having abandoned the "prin cipal "it would be foolish to break the peace of Europe for the sake of the "accessary." The Opinion Nationale characterises the phrase pro nounced in the House of Commons "in case, for example, Copenhagen should be taken, or King Christian made prisoner," as "unheard of," and "as ridiculous as odious." The France, with less passion but equal scorn, says that Lord Palmer don's eases belli is extremely hypothetical, and that before it arises Denmark will have suffered "irreparable disasters in Jutland." It reads the Premier's speech as meaning simply that " England will not and cannot go to war." Sage reflections about the moderation of Napoleon 111. and the necessity for a general congress conclude the article of the France. The Bourse opened with great buoyancy upon the strength of the London parliamentary speeches, but it became comparatively weak for the close.

It will be remarked that the decree in this day's Moniteur, making several diplomatic changes, does not appoint a successor to the Marquis de Cedure, who is removed from the post of first secretary of embassy in London, to be minister plenipotentiary at Baden-Baden. It is thought that either M. Baude or M. de Mosbourg, now first secretary of embassy at Vienna, will be sent London. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIMIVIDAY, JUNI ta. 8 8-18- r., D. W. L Z.

Mr. Lancaster, the owner of the Deerhound ob- serves, in the course of a letter to the Daily .11' ? ews : " I come now to the more definite charges advanced by your correspondents, and these I will soon die. of. They maintain that my yacht was in the harbour of Cherbourg for the purpose of essistinL , the Alabama, and that her movements before at action prove that she attended her for the saw object. My impression is that the yacht was in Cherbourg to suit my convenience and pleasure, ail I am quite sure that when there I neither did, intended to do, anything to serve the Alabama. St steamed out on Sunday morning to see the engag e. ment, and the resolution to do so was the meit• of a family council whereat the questb,. 'to go out,' or not to go out,' was duly discussed, and the decision in the affirmative wa , carried by the juveniles rather against the wish 0i both myself and my wife. Had I contemplated taking any part in the movements of the Alabama Ido not think I should have been accompanied with my wife and several young children. One of your correspondents, however, says that he knows that the Deerboned did assist the Alabama, and if be does know this he knows more than I do. As to the movements of the Deerhound before the action, all the movements with which 1 was acquainted were for the objects of enjoying the summer morning, and getting a good and safe place from which to watch the engagement. Another of your correspondents declares that since the affair it has been discovered that the Deerhound was a consort of the Alabama, and on the night before had received many valuable articles for safe keeping from that vesseL This is simply untrue. Before the engagement neither I nor any of my family bad any knowledge of or communication with either Captain Semmes, any of his officers, or any of his crew. Since the fight I have inquired from my captain whether he or any of my crew had had any communication with the captain or Grew of the Alabama prior to meeting them on the Deerhound after the engagement, and his answer, given in the most emphatic manner, has been ' None whatever.' As to the deposit of chronometers and other valuable articles, the whole story is a myth. Nothing was brought from the Alabama to the Deerhound, and I never heard of the tale until I saw it in an extract from your own columns. After the fight was over, the drowning men picked up, and the Deerhound steaming away to Southampton, some of the officers who had been saved began to express their acknowledgments for my services, and my reply to them, which was addressed also to all who stood around, was :—• Gentlemen, you have no need to give me any special thank s. I should have done exactly the same for the other people if they had needed it.' This speech would have been a needless, and indeed an absurd piece of hypocrisy, if there had been any league or alliance between the Alabama and the Deerhound." FISII/203 BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.—A first attempt was made to fish by electric light • short time awe at Dunkirk. The light was supplied by • pile as Baosetis principle, composed of about 50 elements, and it suereeded tolerably well, but the employment of the pile was mamas:l with much ineouveniesee. It was then determined to repeat the attempt with • magneto-electric machine. The new experiments tried at Dunkirk and Ostend had • double object-1, to prove how the light pro. duosd by the machine would act coder water; and, 2, to discover the effect the light would produce on the fish. The lint object was completely accomplished, and it is now demoustrated that magneto-electric machines sad the light they produce are applicable to all submarine works. In fact, this light was constant at 180 feet under water, and it extended over • large wades& The insoldne, nevertheless, was plead at • distance of more than 300 feet from the regulator of the electric light. The glom sides of the lantern remaieed perfectly tranapeoent, sod the queotity of mat eossaused was less than if it were in the epee air. COLON ILL AILISTOCRAC V. —South Australia 18 looking up.
