THE HAGUE, Barr. 19. The legislative session was opened to-day by the King. His Majesty in his speech from the throne said : —"The country and the colonies are in a pros perous state. A number of public works are con templated. " Bills for the abolition of local excise duties will be laid before you, together with other important financial propositions. The redemption of the debt will be continued. " A project fur the re-organisation of the customs tariff in the Dutch colonies of East India will also be laid before the Chamber." THE DANISH QUESTION. VIENNA. Swr.l9, Evzirmo. The Prase of to-day asserts that the Danish cabinet is willing to consent to the proposal that the claims of the Duchies on the public property of the kingdom should be satisfied with the payment by Denmark of a round sum, this arrangement to be preceded by one definitively settling the re spective allotment of the assets and liabilities of the country. The same paper says :—" Financial difficulties only delay the conclusion of peace. The negotia tions on the prolongation of the armistice, which has expired, are near their end. The demand of Denmark, that the troops of the allied armies in Jutland are not to be provisioned by Denmark, has been absolutely rejected by the German Powers." ITALY. TURIN, Sin. 19. The Turin journals discuss the question of the removal of the capital of Italy to Florence.

The monotony of the proceedings connected with the Prince's visit met with an agreeable interrup tion yesterday, when the royal party drove over from Fredensborg to the little chateau at Bernstorf, which I described to you a day or two ago. The change of quarters was to have been effected on Tuesday, but all the Prince's movements have been i regulated by the convenience of the moment, and the departure from Fredensborg was for a second time postponed. I fancy that this was due rather to the backward state of the preparations at Berns torf, for I walked out there ou Tuesday, and found the triumphal arch very little nearer com pletion than it had been on the day before. Danish workmen are not expeditious people, and the arch appeared to iuterest those who were employed upon it so that they had to stop every two or three minutes to contemplate the effect of each branch of evergreen that was fastened to the framework. It was very gratifying to see them take this pleasure in their work, but it re tarded the operations more or less. Yesterday, how ever, everything was in its place by an early hour in the afternoon, and crowds of people began to assemble to see the arrival. I was fairly astonished to see the extent of the crowd which had assembled by three or four o'clock. The arrival at Fredens borg had been accompanied with so little ceremonial that everyone here expected that the arrival at the L I still less important residence of Bernstorf would be totally devoid of ceremony, but as it happeted, an assemblage including, I should say, not less than two thousand persons was gathered about the little gateway when the King and Prince appeared. The weather was beautiful ; in fact the clouds have exhausted their strength during the past week, and fine weather has set in. In the bright sunshine, therefore, the sceue was gay and animated, more especially as the crowd consisted chiefly of women, and had consequently a less sombre appearance than that which belongs to one composed chiefly of men. At about half-past five the carriages came in sight, and the people began to cheer. The first, with a pair of horses, contain ing General 0:holm and General Knollys, drove on up the avenue without stopping ; but as the second carriage, drawn by four horses, and contain ing the King and Queen of Denmark and the Prince and Princess of Wales, came up to the triumphal arch it halted beneath the evergreens. The people cheered, the royal personages bowed, and general good humour prevailed. In turn the other carriages came up and halted in procession. That which followed the King contained the small unconscious heir to England's greatness, swaddled in blue garments and reposing tranquilly in his nunie's arms ; the women in the crowd were in tensely interested in the baby, and pressed eagerly round his carriage, giving vent to expressions of rapturous admiration iu the language of the country. In fact, as you will see directly, the baby carried off tke chief honours of the day. Next to his carriage came a mail phaeton and pair, driven by the Prince Royal of Denmark. Princess Dagmar was by his side, and • servant occupied the seat behind, For the moment the public attention was divided between the leading carriage and the baby, so that the young people in the mail phaeton were comparatively disregarded. Of course, for a Danish crowd, the visitors from England were objects of greater interest than Dig. mar said her brother ; but considering that the alliance between the Princess and the Czarewiteh is now a settled thing, I looked myself with • great deal of interest towards the sweet face of the young girl destined in the future to be Empress of Russia. It may be that a dozen years hence she will have grown used to playing a chief part in ceremonials that will immeasurably surpass the little (lemon stration of yesterday. Far removed from the quiet home of her childhood, and far from the busy cities of Western Europe, she will have to bear the ponderous burdens of Muscovite magnificence that must seem to her now, as she looks forward to them from her present position, as splendid as a Russian summer, but as terrible as a Russian winter. Great as is the change that has taken place in her eider sister's life, the change that she will have to bear will be even greater. I do not mean that the dignity of any position in the world can be greater than that of the position which the Princess of Wales will be called upon to oocupy, but she is lees completely cut off than her sister will be from the sympathy or support of her family. This, how ever, is not the time to speculate upon the future careerof the young girl whoplayed so inconspicuous a part in the proceedings of yesterday. It was round the carriage of the King that the little ceremonies of the day took place. No sooner had the carriage halted than agentle man in the curious costume worn by the pastors of the Lutheran church came up to its side, and deli vered an address. He did not read it, but spoke it with great volubility and an extraordinary vehe mence of gesticulation. It seemed, indeed, that he was preaching a sermon to the King and his guests, for his voice assumed that peculiar tone which voices used in a pulpit generally acquire. Luckily, how ever, the address was soon over, and the Prince, we will hope, was properly edified by the brief exhor tation he received. The clergyman had no sooner retired than a band struck up " The last rose of summer," though I confess myself wholly unable to make out the natural connexion between this popular melody and the Prince's arrival at Bernstorf. After a few bars, however, the band was silenced to allow • gentle man in plain clothes, who headed a deputation, to present another address to the Princess. This done, a hymn was sung by a chorus of male voices, and the carriages moved up the avenue. Much more freedom is allowed to a crowd in this country than could safely be accorded to any assemblage of people in England. The people, therefore, were permitted to close up after the carriages had passed, and follow them into the grounds, so that the open space in front of the house was speedily inundated. At first it did not appear that there was much entertainment to be got here, for after the carriages bad deposited their freight and driven away, there was nothing to be seen but the plain white front of the house and a serene footman in scarlet livery. There was no military display, as the only soldiers present were those belonging to • small guard of honour. In a few minutes, however, there was seen at one of the upper windows • lady in a black mantle, without a bonnet, who opened one leaf of the window and looked out. In a moment she was recognised as the Princess of Wales, and behind her was seen the Queen her mother, holding the baby. The crowd was delighted, and gave vent to renewed cries of pleasure, but still greater happi ness was in store for it. The King came forward and took the baby from the arms of the two ladies who held it between them. The crowd became enthu siastic. He dandled the baby up and down. The feelings of the crowd were becoming almost too intense. It was only possible to improve the situation in one way, but even this improvement was brought about, the Prince of Wales was induced to come forward to the little window where all these per formances took place, and he in his turn took the baby in his arms, with the natural awkwardness of an Englishman called upon to be theatrical in his 1 1 behaviour, and exhibited himself in the character of • father to the people below. With unruffled equanimity the baby permitted himself to be dandled up and down, and the crowd shrieked in ecstasy. At this early stage of his career the baby has shown a due appreciation of his position. Another baby might have cried, but be no doubt reflected that he was a baby to whom much was given ; from whom much was consequently expected ; and he conducted himself with a grave propriety of de ' meanour worthy of the occasion. The crowd dispersed after enjoying the gratifying spectacle I have described, and the members of the royal party were left to the quiet enjoyment of domestic peace. During their stay at Berostorf they will lead • simple family life, undisturbed by any ceremonials beyond those which may take place in Copenhagen. Here there is to be a con cert and a ball. The concert is to take place to morrow at the large Palace of Christiansborg, and there probably the ball will also be given on au early day next week, but the exact day is not yet fixed. To-day it is expected that the King and Prince will take a drive through the town, but not until late in the afternoon, so that as the poet for England closes at four, I shall not be able to give you any particulars of the visit to-day. This evening there will be a dinner at the embassy to Lord and Lady Spencer, who have come to stay in Copenhagen while the Prince is at Berustorf. In fact, the visit of the Priuce is gradually assuming a snore public character. At first it seemed that it was to receive no public acknowledgment, but by degrees it became obvious that there was no reason to fear the smallest demonstration of an unfavour able nature. Nothing could exceed the good humour of the populace at Elsinore and at Berns torf, and the crowd at kierusturf was composed in a great measure of Copeuliagen people. It is now anticipated that a very hearty reception will be accorded to the Prince when he enters the capital. The day of his departure for Stockholm is nut yet fixed, and it is still uncertain whether he will decide to go to Sweden after having apeut a week at Berustorf, returning here to spend one week more at Fredericsborg before returning to England, or whether he will complete the three weeks' stay in this country before making the Swedish tour. Had it been possible to carry out the original Russian plan he would have completed the Danish visit before going to Stockholm ; but under exist ing circumstances I think it most likely that the other arrangement will be carried out. The Osborne and the other ships have come here from Elsinore. The Osborne herself has been brought close up to the landing place, and it is most likely that the Prince and Princess will embark here in the middle of next week, and proceed at once to Stockholm, by way of Gotteuburg and the railway. As for the amuseuniuts with which they will be entertained at Berusterl, they will be altogether informal. There was a little family dance at Fredericsborg on 'Tuesday evening; and simple pleasures like this are of course relished more by royal people than by those who have to be content with simple pleasures altogether. In consequence of the arrival of the English ships in Copenhagen, and also, I suppose, because the presence in Denmark of the Prince of %dee has encouraged our countrymen to come here, there are great numbers of English people at present in the town. At the hotels you hear English spoken on every side, and at the places of public amuse ment it is the same. At the Tivoli Gardens, the other evening, I saw a party of liberty men from the Salamis enjoying themselves with the accus tomed ardour of English sailors on shore. They were tasting all the sports and pastimes of the place, and amongst other things took a ride in pain in the carriages of the Montagne Russo. It was amusing to watch the effect upon them of this ex traordinary amusement, and to hear their bewil- JULLIEN'S OONCERTS. Last night M.

TM aeries et womb now begun is es the same general plan as before. The pit mid stage of the theatre are con verted into an extensive promenade, in the midst of which the orchestra is erected. The whole pleas is tastefully decorated, and has a gsy and elegant appearance. The orchestra is the band of Her Majesty's Theatre, enlarged sad strengthened, sad keeled* all those winitinstrament performers whine excellence daring the opera season has been so mach remarked. The concert of last night was an agreeable mixture of the clerical and popular styles. It began with Weber's magoi ficent overture to Sensual's, the execution of which did bailout to the band and to M. Julian as their cooduetor. Beethoven's gnat Symphoey is C. subsequently played, was not only a treat of the highest order to the meteor, but the precision with which it was executed, sad the deli cacy with which all it. beauties of effect and exprusion were gives, made it evidently clear and intelligible to the whole audience.

Some of these were &grimes ; especially the air, "Ah form a lei," played by M. Crozier ou his =quake oboe ; and the famine anserontir, •' Libiamo, Ithaca," which, as performed on the renal and ophicleide by Mr. Nenserling, sad Mr. Massy, had the effect of a channleg vocal duet.

Mr. Buckstone opened his house to a crowded ►udience last night for the winter sossoo, sad repe►ted Leeffe's comic opera, The Castle of A ridaiusie, which be so successfully revived on the occasion of his benefit. The coat of char►cten remains the same; the very old-fashioned bat melodious music has fair justice done to it by M.T. We is , Madame Weiss, Miss Keeley, and others ; and Mr. &Wotan and Mr. Comptoo, as Sped° sad Pedzillo, have rarely ap peared in two more thoroughly amain characters. Several sovelties are, of course, in preparation, and prominent amongst these will be the app/arenas of an Italia° lady, whose training at the Chliou and Vaudeville theatres in Perla has been thoroughly French ; who has acted, we believe, in America, and who will sustain the part of the heroine in a version of Ales soder Dumas' most celebrated play, Mademoiselle de Belle Isle. The same of the now actress who is sesious, like Madame Judith and others, to tread is the successful steps of Mdll►. Stella Colas, is Mdlle. (or Signora) Beatrice Lticcbceina, and the version of the French play in which she will appear has been made by Mrs. Fr races Anne Kemble. Her first performance will be gives on Monday, October 3. DRURY LANE. Thenational theatre will open next Saturday with one of the most promising programmes pia forward since the memorable leseseship of Mr. Macready. The first pert of Henry IV. will be repeated on the opening night, with Mr. Phelps aa Sir John Falstaff, sad Mr. Crawl.* a g Hotspur.

Sts,—My attention has been called to the ac. count given by your correspondent in Bath of the pooped tap of the British Association in your journal of the 17th init., and in which my conduct on the occasion of the lamentable death of my dear frised, Captain Spike, bee miss represented as to have caused me great pain, and 1, there fore, hope that you will publish this explanation. Your oorraposident seems to blame me for speaking in a feeble tows of voice when I announced the mad catastrophe to the rosetieg, sod thinks that some 'mistime eulogy ae the deemed should then sad there hare bees pro soneeed. Now. the truth is that the fatal sews was cosamiusiosted to me a quarter of an hour only before the meet*, assembled, and I was so overpowered by the aback that I bad only time to draw up, with my treads in the committee-room, the meiotic* which expressed our Lear c hili:sorrow, sodas offer et condolence to the afflicted family of the deceased. When I addressed the assembly my emote* woe so peat that, in addition to the expression of my proloead sorrow, I said that I could not then speak coherently on so appalling a subject ; sodomy one pressat must have sees (the Bath paper, indeed, bus specially wilted it) that I felt too deeply to solarge apes the calamity, still less to be able to take that *malice to record all the merits of hum whom we had bet. Your correspoe• dent admits that be did not herr what I did say, but if he lied heard what fell from me, and could have known what I felt, I must believe that he would not have written what be did. Every one knows that I have been the warm eulogist and trend of Captain Spoke, and it was, therefore, very painful to me to see my conduct so described. Let me say, that when the fitting occasion shall arias, as at the neat mini. Tersely of the Royal Geographical Society, it will be my earnest eorleavour to reader every justice to the memory of the Anita', intrepid, and successful Si. phonic of the head waters of the Sile.—Lien, fir., RODERICK J.

A very high ssa was rolling at the time, and the boat had to contend with a heavy surf, but through the exertions of her gallant crew she got sucomatully into deep water. She was pulled atralght for the vessel, which she reached in 50 minutes from the time of being launched. Saturday Minis; been the regatta at Southport, some sailing boats from Fleetwood were on their way home ■nd made for the brig, and one of them neared her just before the lifeboat, but was unable to effect a communication with her.

Our advice* from the West Riding of Yorkshire on that day state : " The weather has been fine and breezy oe the whole, though showery at times." From the Ecet Riding of Yorkshire cm the same day, it was re marked : " Weather during the week has been favourable for harvest work • and a great portion of the crops in th is district is sow skely housed." From Northumberland at . the same date it was said : The weather since our last re port ham been very unfavourable for harvest operatioes, a good demi of rain haying fallen, eceampanied with high winds from the earth-west and south-west. To-lay is fine, wind south-west." From Licooleshire our advice* stated : " The whole of the harvest ha. been gathered in throughout these districts an nee ceedition." From Lanombire, on the same day, it was observed :" The wea th er is houseroom. wet, and cold, and the northern harvest progresses slowly." Wednesday was• doubtful day, bat the weather held thy until noon, when min set in, audit was very heavy for several hours. la Nottioglientshire, on that day, it was stated: '"flie weather has been open dudes the past few days, turnips and mural& stomach improved HI orneriness/ond there is also cousidersibly mate grass is the peataree." From Scotland, on that day, the account, were unfavourable from both the east and west coast, the weather bolos at ' tames very wet, and a cossiderable quantity of grain was re- r ported to be stall oat in the bells, seamed to the miss, cad . taking coosidemble injury. On Thursday the morning was fine sod aetruneal, but rain was (anthems& at 11 a.m., and it was very heavy at intervals after wards during the day. From Warwickshire no that day it was stated: •• Weather throughout the week has been showery, which, with previous rains, has had the effect of entirely changing the aspect of the eosin- try ; the pastures now present quite a spring-like appear mace." From the North Riding of Yorkshire: " The farmers were getting on very well on Tuesday with then • harvest., though there was part of the corn out in the neigh bourhood of Flamlnirough Heed ,• and they have some very good amps." la the East neighbourhood of linion, the farmers find, on. thrashing, that they have 5 to ' 6 qrs. of wheat per acre. Opposed to which, in the fort neer Ely. some have tidy ruched 2 qrs. per earn. Ow Saturday microbes it appeared that heavy rasa had fallen, mad we learned that it had come down in torrents during the past might for several hours, and in the day It was ocossiettally very wet, bat suany at iatervals. Prom the middle of the week to the end a greater fall of rake has taken place than for a long time past, sod yet from the thirsty state of the ground it is sheathed quickly, and there is scarcely any water yet ire the peed., but the ground will be moistened and made mare reedy for the plough, which may soon be at work. All articles likely to produce early spring feed hams Imes sows exteesively—rys, winter tares, trifulturn • and winter barley, with rapeseed. All these have coosiquently met a goad demand, and. with the remota rein, this is likely yet to ocetisue ; prices being much more remunerative to the farmers than that for wheel.
