THE WAR IN DENMARK. (RON 003 MC= FREDERICIA, Milos 17, 12.16 Noolt.—An alarm is sounding. The firing lute commenced, and Fredericia is in great excite ment. The Prussians are said to be in immense force, and bent on mischief. After some cannonading from both sides, and a brisk engagement between the opposing sharp shooters, the enemy has retreated out of range. Danish loss very trifling, although their outposts stood firm for two hours against superior numbers. It was a splendid sight; the weatbercalm and bright, the whole neighbourhood bathed in sunshine, which lighted up each battery and parapet, making them look almost like our Grand Stand at Epsom. Thousands of spectators crowded every point whence the Prusaians could be seen ; men and boys, soldiers and townspeople, rushed to the ramparts and gazed eagerly forth. With songs and cheers that might have been heard by their distant enemies, the troops march swiftly into position ; everything was ready, and we waited to know what the Prussians would venture to attempt. Little of the battle could be discerned with the naked eye, but through my telescope there was visible a terribly vivid picture of all that hap pened. Here lay the Danish pickets, crouching behind such •wantyshelter as the bare plain afforded. An officer far in front makes some signal, and the first line jumping up, runs boldly forward. The supports also advance. A few white puffs of smoke break out among the skirmishers. Then a whole volley. They turn and come rapidly back to their former ground, followed slowly by that gallant officer, who stops to light a cigar. Up to this moment we might have been wit nessing a review ; indeed the Brighton Downs have seen more smoke and heard a louder noise. But now came creeping forward another line of crackling rifles, and it gave a thrill of ir.terest to see Prussian helmets glancing in whole battalions just beyond that last gentle hillock. Can they be aware of the enemy's proximity !—those Danish skirmishers I mean, lying so placidly under a ruined wall. Yes, for there goes a poor fellow rolling over, badly wounded, too, and they carry him tenderly away to the rear. A tall German captain appears above the hillock. ! he is knocked down by this Dane, who leans his musket coolly upon the wall! No, the shot has struck a young soldier close be hind the captain, and still this last remains erect. Now the Prussians falter—hurra ! our brave skirmishers advance once more. That tall captain waves his sword, and the enemy retires for se veral minutes. Such a quiet view of a real battle was fearfully impressive. As in Sir Walter Scott's great fiction, where the Jewish maiden watches by Ivanhoe's sick bed, it was worse to look on and report the fight than to share in its dangers. I shut up my glass, and turned away from too strong an excitement. But presently another larger puff of smoke, a screaming rush across the plain, and the Prussian artillery opens tire. Now an answering roar from Fredericia, as our guns in the camp reply to this somewhat unexpected discharge. Shell after shell is sent by the enemy, and they burst all about the outworks, luckily doing no harm. Of course the ramparts are speedily deserted by spectators in general, and those who wish still to remain get behind some parapet, or crouch low in a favouring bastion. Having discovered the range of their field guns, and found General Sunding ready for them, the Prussians withdrew in perfect order. Thus ended the most panoramic engagement it is possible to suppose. INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re eeived advice; from Bombay to Feb. 29, and from Calcutta to Feb. 20. Sir John Lawrence has been suffering from in disposition. His Excellency has placed himself under the treatment of Dr. Tonnerre, a huticeo rabbit. His Excellency gave his first public ball on the 15th of February, to which no natives of India were invited. This exclusion had given great offence to the native community. The Bombay Cia:ette thus refers to this occurrence : One of the earliest acts of Sir John Lawrence as Viceroy and Governor•Geaeral has been to put a stop to the one aided 'social intercourse which has hitherto existed in India between Europeans and natives, by ernittiog to invite any native gentlemen to the first bal: given by him in Calcutta. It appears that the leaders of the native community of Calcutta lately offered a direct insult to the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal by sending prostitutes to the .kgricaltural Exhibi tion on a day set apart for the reception of waive ladies there by the most distinguished Englishwomen of the pre milsecy. This alone was enough to provoke the indignation of even the most tolerant of Englishmen ; but, without this, one who knows so touch of India and Indian ways of thinking as Mir John Lawrence is of .vane cognisant of the opinions which the people of this as of all other Oriental countries have on the subject of dancing, and mast there fore have been glad of the opportunity of letting all India undentand that henceforth natives who, in spite of their loud profealions of faith in the excellence of western ideas about society, are ashamed to bring their own wives sod daughters to public assemblies, will be kept at a distance instead of being courted by the English community. His Ex.,:elieney Sir Hugh Rose is stated to have tendered his resignation, and it is added that his resignation has been accepted. Other statements, consequent on this, are made ; that Sir Robert Napier, K.C.8., is to succeed to the Command-in- Chief of the Indian army : and that his seat in the Imperial Council will be filled by Colonel Elliot. Sir Hugh Rose has issued an order providing that In future the hospitals of European soldiers shall be attended by European nurses instead of native sys.hs. The nurses are to be chosen from among the soldiers' wives of good character in each regiment, who, while finding useful occupation for themselves, will be able to do much towards al leviating the unhappy lot of the invalid European soldiers. The Akboond of Swat has directed all his people to arm, as he fears an attack from us in the spring. He is said to be fortifying the Mullakund Pass. The cotton crop of Western India will, it is feared, be short this year. Much more than the ordinary extent of ground has been taken into cul tivation. but the yield per acre will, it is thought, be small, the crops in Guzerat especially having been blighted by the severe frost of an unusually cold winter, or spoiled by unseasonable rains. Mr. Maine has introduced in the Viceroy's Legislative Council a bill providing that no Indian labourer shall emigrate without the approval of the magistrate of his district. An important decision has been given in the Small Calm Court of Bombay, recognising the exemption of native princes from liability to the jurisdiction of British courts, even when they are residing in British territory. A turf club of Western India has been formed in Bombay. Nam (Nom Am Jf ustem.

Yetablished 1841 —4Adeemsi THI: MAORI CHIEFS IN ENG] r Some of our readers may remember a party of New Zealanders who appeared publicly in London on several occasions last year. Tbey wereoriginally 14 in number, all nativesof the province of Auckland, and were either chiefs of subdivisions of tribes or allied 'to chiefs. They were of the Ngapuhi, which is one of the highest caste, and has always been faithful to the British crown. Soon after their arrival here, in May last, they were presented to the Queen, who became sponsor to the child of one of them. They were also received by the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and others. Circumstances have made it necessary that the facts relating to their visit to this country should be laid before the public, and this has been done by Mr. T. C. Sneyd Kynnersley, police magistrate of Birmingham, in a letter to the Daily Post. Mr. Kynneraley writes : In February, 1863, they, with five others (on of whom Sae permanently left the party), were induced by Mr. Jim kins to accompany him to Englaod, "to see the wonderful things of England, which are past description, and to tell the English people all about New Zealand." Mr. Jenkins was an utter stranger to them, belga a tradesman at Nelson, in the southern island, at leant four hundred miles dint- tent from Auckland. He speaks the Maori leaguers, and has been employed as interpnter by the local government of Nelson in their transactions with the very few natives who inhabit that province. lam afraid his assumed title of "Interpreter to the Government of New Zealand" must be reduced to these modest limita. The number of natives in the whole southern island does not exceed two thousand, and I am assured that there are not more than 300 or 4(8) in the neighbourhood of Nelson. He hes brought with him absolutely no credentials, or letters of introduction, or evidence of any descripticio, that he is even what he represents himself to be, or that his project was sanctioned by the Governor (Sir George Grey), or Bishop Selwyn, or any one of the clergy, English or native, or, in fact, by any individual whatever, in or out of authority. The party, consisting of the above fourteen natives, Mr. Jenkins, and Moen. Brent, Lightbanii. and Lloyd (his amociates in the adventure), sailed from Auckland in February, 1863. Before starting an agreement was drawn up, by which the natives bound themselves to Mesas. Jenkins and Co. (in the deed called "The Company') for twelve months from their arrival in England, which period might be shortened or prolonged at the pleasure of „ the Company." All their expenses were to be paid. They were to travel about from place to place is England, and attend public meetings, at which lectures would be delivered, and money was to be received at the doors. This was to be *aid in a bank. and oe their return divided between the parties, titraixths to be paid to the company (to reimburse them for expenses incurred), end one-sixt h to the natives. (I may mention here that this was afterwards one cease of quarrel ; the natives having understood that the grass profits were to be divided, whereas the deed, which they say the► did not understand, speaks of net moats only). They arrived in London in May. Every one Insoles that in the summer they were presented to her Majesty, who became sponsor to the child of Yocum and his wife, two of the party. They Wooded public meetings, and for some time fared sump tuously at the Grommet HoteL A ver► strong feeling was at this time entertained by the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and others that the undertaking must re sult in failure, and that a prolonged stay in England would be both morally end physically injurious to the people, and measures were takers to amid them hack with credit and comfort to their own country. According to the statement of the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Shaftesbury, both of whose lettere I have before me, this offer was refused by Mr. Jenkins. The public meetinp ware thereforsoontinued They went to Bristol, Exeter, Glowed/a, its, and arrived in Birmingham in October. We need not go over the whole story of the failure of the scheme. Mr. Kynnersley says that dissatisfaction and discontent prevailed among the Mammies. The public meetings at which they were expected to appear in mats once worn by the natives, but long since disused, became intolerably distaste ful to many of them. Disputes arose about money matters. Three of the party left Mr. Jenkins, and joined a troupe of performers at the Alhambra. The lectures, moreover, became less and less productive. The funds of the adventurers were exhausted, and as the cold weather came on they suffered severely ; they became dispirited, gloomy, and miserable. Some of them were suffering from illness, and all sensibly felt the extreme cold of the winter about the time of Christmas. Under these circumstance, the intervention of friends became necessary. Mr. Kynnersley writes : The men and women had considerable pecuniary claims upon Mr. Jenkins under the agreement made ia London, and be was under contract to convey them back to their owe country : but they were willing to give up these claims to purchase their emancipation, and att4e some delay a formal deed was prepared and executed, whereby all agreements were cancelled and mutual releases given from all engagements. This deed was executed by the nine indi viduals above mentioned, vv.., Boatman, Whereto" Pars tens, Hind and his weds Tele. Iforomans, Harkin, Kihi ringhi, and Julia. Powers and his wife were sent home by her Majesty at her own private expense. Takerei and Ha piniana remain with Mr. Jenkins. Four of the nine have left Birmingham for London this morning ; four others will follow very shortly. One is, as I have said, is St. Barth*. losnew's Hospital. I trust they will all nil for New Zealand in less than a month. The realisation of this hope will depend, we be have, on the extent to which the public is ready to co-operate in the work. It is pretty clear now that these Maories never ought to have been brought to England, but a regard for our credit requires that they should now be sent back as noon as possible. Lord Shaftesbury has signified his readiness to re-organise the committee which was formed in the last summer, and promote a sub scription for sending them out in comfort. A committee has been formed also in Birmingham for the same purpose, of which James Lloyd, Esq., has kindly consented, to be the treasurer. Whatever is contributed will expedite the return and promote the comfort of these nine Maories. It is not nec.ssary to say more, ..re may hope. TAR OXFORD DECLARATION.—We understand that about 9,000 adhesions bare now been given to Use Declaration. Among the most recent is that of the Rev. E. AurioL A well-informed correspondent informs us that the publication of Mr. ilaurice's letters, and of the meat legal opinion, bits excite] ao extraordinary amount of indig nation, and, far from deterring subscnbers, has added many names to the lot. Already the Declaration moat be regarded as a decided success, and we trust that scruples about pre cise terms in which it u worded, or jealousy of the COMM sity in which it originated, will not witLbold nay considera ble number of the orthodox clergy from availing themselves of this opportunity publicly to testify against the attempt t o set aside tbe mods, end deny the authority of God's Word written.—Berord. Canal:lf RAT CS. —The following ban ibill has been 'rued at Broseley:—' Cruel Distraint for Church-rates by the Brceeley Churchwardens, William Nicholas, Eq. and Humphrey Charlton. leat. On Thursday last a distraint was made on the goods of James Clarks, • poor labouriag man with a wife and seven children. a bedridden mother, $3 years of age, an imbecile sister 43 p ears of age, Outte) last receiving parish relief. The amount of church-rate was la. 41., for which sad costs,' the above-umed church wardens have coined to be taken the following articles:- 1 clock, oak chest, oak cupboard, 2 tables, 7 chairs, tee tray, looking-glass, smoothing iron, and straw mattress, thereby ` emptying the poor man's house,' and causing some of the children to he on the dur the following night.— Brawler, March 12." _ , MURDER AT A 0•11 Tom.—Yesterday afternoon Dr. Laokaster resumed en adjourned inquest at the Elephant end Castle, King's-road, Cam len-town, os the body of a woman unknown, discovered floating in the Regent's Casa on the morning of the Itith of March with Ip.r skull frac. tared in such a manner as to leave oo doubt that she had been cruelly murdered. Dr. Sa u l, senior sur geon o f St . I Pancras Infirmary, stated that the cause of death was the fracture of the skull, and he believed the fracture to have been produced by a blow from behind. From the *widest* it appeared that when the deceased was found in the water her clothes appeased to have been tore off ; she had neither gown, bonnet, nor shawl, and her appearance indicated that she had been engaged in a fearful struggle. A woman named Ann Nailer had been missing since the 20th of Feb.miry from White Lion-street, and the body of the do. ceased bad been exhumed, but was too much decomposed to be identified. Ann Poultee's mother having stated that her daughter bad her ears pierced for ver-rioge, Dr. Saul, who was present at the exhnination, examined the ears minutely, but could detect no signs of their having been pierced. Inspector F ,in answer to a question. having stated that every eadeavour bad been made by the police to get the body identified. but without effect, the coroner re marked be hoped the press would give publicity to the ap pearance of deceased, as well as the description of her clothes, which might probably give some clue to bar iden tity. The description of the deceased is :—Height, Mt. Sin.; hair, dark brown, plain is front and plaited behiad round face, and apparently about 30 years of age. The only articles of clothing on her were a rough gray woollen jacket, the back being much torn ; a red stuff handkerchief round the neck ; ribbed woollen mittens, of a chocolate colour, on each arm ; gray and white atockiup, striped Usuriously ; boots, with elastic sides, much worn ' • one cotton garter. marked at one end " T. R.." and the figure "2," with red cotton ; plain white drawers and plain chemise ; old stays, with braes clasp in front and laced behind, and a bit of crimson or pink riband round the stays. The Coroner said, with a view of @cabling the police to make every further possible inquiry, be proposed further to adjourn the inquest till that day three weeks, the 11th of April and it was adjourned accordingly.

ROYAL ABTILLIRY.--SialOUß ROBBERY or Go nnurilarr Ncerr.—Cassidenibto excitement prevailed at Woolwich this day, from the foot that • very serious and deep laid system of fraud has been discovered to have been carried on for a long time by two non commissioned odious of Royal Artillery engaged in the recruiting service, both of whom have hitherto been highly respected at this gar rison and town, sod one of the offenders, who has absconded, being the owner of eight houses in this locality, sod pos sessed of other property. By direction of the Secretary-at- Wails military court of inquiry to investigate the came was this day at the Royal Artillery Barracks, and so/5- eathas already transpired to prove that a large amount of government mooey has been misappropriated. The de linquents are Sergeant James Sanoders and Sergeant-Ka* Russell, of the depot brigade, both having been for years engaged in the recruiting service, and it was • portion of their dirty to see recruits who had pared medical examination properly attested and sworn into the service before the sitting magistn at Woolwich Police-court. On this being completed, sad the attestation paper signed by the magistrate and an officer, of the regiment, the sergeant enlisting a recruit is entitled to native lie. 6d. It transpired that for • considerable period the sergeants named have by means of filling up the printed attestation papers with the names of fictitious recruits, and atteching the signature of one of the police magistrates to the documents, drawn large sums of money, the whole extent of the robbery not being yet fully ascertained. This afternoon Caption Gilmore and Paymaster& Piers, of the depot brigade, attended at the police-court with • bundle of attestation papem, which purported to be thine of recruits who had been sworn in before Mr. Maude end signed by that magistrate, bat on inspection Mr. Trail, who was on the bench, at once declared that the alleged signature of Mr. Mande was • forgery, which was corroborated by the usher of the ocurt. The officers then stated that sergeant Swindells, who had houses and other property in Woolwich, had absconded, but, in reply to questions, the magistrate said that the autho rities, at the preset stage of the proceedings, had no lien upon such property. It appears that in numerous cases the delinquents had not only received lbs. tied. for enlisting "sham" recruits, but had charged and drawn eight days pay for such nonentities. Sergeant-Major Russell is now in custody, to be tried by court-martial. Mr. William Broaclfoot has bun appointed a lieutenant in the Royal Naval Rowe. HAYMARKET. Sheriden's comedy of the School for Scandal was played at this - theatre last night, and will be performed spin to-night "by particular desire." The house wee arowded in every part, and every point in this brilliant play wee heartily enjoyed and loudly applauded. The cut, though it would bear improvement here and there, wee, on the whole, more perfect than any that could be obtained at any other theatre. Sir Peter Teazle was represented by Mr. Chippendale, Sir Benjamin Backbite by Mr. Backstass, Charles Surface by Mr. Puree, Joseph Surface by Mr. Howe, and Crabtree by Mr. Compton, In the spirit of genuine comedy : the rest of the characters were respect ably portrayed. The faros of Lend Me Fine SAiiinpa , it which Mr. Backstops is unequalled for riotous, overdowing humane, forms an agreeable addition to the comedy. ADELPHI. Mr. Webster made his re-appearance at this theatre last night is • temporary revival of the Dead Heart, and sustained his well-known character of Robert Landry with =impaired vigour. The house was well attended, and the artistic merits of the performauce seemed to be fully appreciated. The cast of the piece has not been much altered. Mr. Toole, Mr. Billington, Mr. Stuart, Mr. Paul Bedford, and Miss Woolgar play their original!cbarac• tens, and Mr. Arthur Stirling represents the Abbe in the place of Mr. David Fisher. CRYSTAL PALAU& To afford extra facilities for the arrival of visitors on Friday. the doors of the Paws will be opened at nine o'clock in the morning, and additional trains with run throughout the day by the London, Brighton, and South Carat system, from London-bridge, Victoria, and Kensing ton, as well as from stations on the North London line, and other great lines running into Kensington sod Clap ham Junction stets:me. The train service by the London, Chatham, sad Dover Metropolitan system from Victoria and Elephant and Castle, with intermediate stations at Camberwell, Brixton, Herne Hill, &c., will also work to the station at Bydesham Hill, a few hundred yards distant from the front ,eutranos to the Peace. Special trains will also run s train many of the main lines, those from the Chatham and Dover running into their new station at l'enp, slow to the garden entrance to the Palace. As this latter company ,propose brining pas sengers from Chatham and Rochester at the same price, third class lL 6d. including admission, as that charged from London-bridge, it is likely that • very large num ber will arrive from this source. Additional advantages will also be offered by the opening of the Charing-crass line, which will convey pamengers from - roes to the Brighton Company's station at Ild ha o z illaidge. This route will no doubt be extmaively patronised. Performances en the Great Handel Festival °rpm and by the band of the Coldstream Guards, will commence early is the day. The comsat will take place is the Handel Orchestra at half-pest three. The exeontants, besides a full chorus, compnae the band of the company, military beside, &c., and will be wider the directaon of Mr. Manes.

It is expected that the concert will terminate at belt-peat five, and to afford ample opportunity for the visitors to leave leisurely, the Palace will be brilliantly lighted up in the evening. The Victoria Cross Gallery will be on view. Extra Miles will be opened at the various entrances to the Palace. An addi nowt excursion exit will be opened at the foot of the South Tower for pemeopme by the excursion trains on the Loudon, Brighton and South Coast, the South Eastern, and Northern Railways. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. —MONDAY,. Members began to drop in somewhat early in the after • noon, and beton three o'clock there was a tolerable mutat. No tame was lost, and several produced their Warwick „ accounts," upon which the double operatic° of mai and receiving warn at once commenced, a few fag-ends of Liver pool being still waiting for adjustable'. The betting on the Northamptooshire Stakes promoted several features of interest, first and foremost being the fire opened upon Lioness, which was kept up without intermission until 50 to 1 (taken and offered) was the concluding note about the " tang Erie" favourite. Blithtield, who bad also for • length of time divided the honour of first favourite with Kr. Merry', mare, was the next " knocked out" one, 33 to 1 having been laid at Me finish.

On Sunday night be was sit ting in the coffee-room, when the prisoner and another man same in, sat down is the same compartment with him, but on the other side of the table, and had some coffee and some bresdend-butter, for which the primmer paid. While they were partaking of these refreshments witoess fell asleep, but was awakened be " a noise like a click." He then per ceived that his watch was gone, and said so. The prisoner's companion then went out hastily, and the prisoner said, " I will take my oath I have not got your watch." Wit mer said, "No, but your mate has. A policeman was sent, who took prisoner in charge. James Drake, the keeper of the coffee-shop, add, when the prosecutor called out that his watch was stolen , the prisocees companion jumped up and ran out, the prisoner " kindly" making way for him to pass.

He also said that he knew the other man had got the watch before he left the shop. He was then given in custody. The prisoner said he did not say that he knew the man had the watch ; nor did he know it, in fact.

He had taken too much to drink, and had foolishly got into company with the man mentioned, who was wholly unknown to him. The prisoner's muter, a builder, who had employed him for sight years, gave him an exceedingly good character, and confirmed his statement about the wages he earned during the week. Mr. Vaughan said that after hearing so good a character of the primmer he could only regret to see him placed in such a position.

Mr. Wonky& mid that he had examined the spot, and if the barge had been moored where the witness had sworn to, he was of opinion that it clearly wee an obstruction. That was corroborated by the majority of the witnesses, and he must say that no class of watermen had any right to let off any part de public Plying Itiror to dm injury of the other, and the public. Under all the circumstance he should 6ne the defendant 10a. and Os. 6d. costa. The money was immediately paid.
