Ir the Conference is after all to arrive at any result, the basis of • settlement must be agreed upon during the present week ; but as yet there has been no decision on this vital point. At yester day's sitting new proposals, or rather new adhe sions to proposals already made, were received, discussed, and eventually accepted, as so many proposals have been accepted on either aide before —ad refetendum. This time, however, it is the German plenipotentiaries alone who hesitate, and who feel it necessary to refer once more to their re spective Governments. The Danish Government, anxious not to stand in the way of any reasonable settlement, and willing loyally to assist the efforts of the neutral Powers, has, we believe, strained concession to the utmost possible limits, and vir tually consented to a heavy sacrifice of its own just claims in the interests of European peace. The Danish plenipotentiaries have contingently accepted a scheme which is substantially identical with the proposal already made by the mediat ing Powers. This proposal on being announced was very naturally regarded as • harsh one towards Denmark, its terms being, indeed, little better than those which the most successful war of conquest could have imposed. It destroys the integrity of the Danish monarchy, by taking away from it valuable provinces, and seriously endangers the independence of what is left. It deprives Denmark of the famous Eider line, which has been its frontier against Germany for a thousand years, and by thus cutting off Rendaburg and Kiel, takes away its chief fortress and most valuable harbour on the main land. The bare announcement of a proposal involving these sacrifices has pro duced • perfect storm of popular indignation at Copenhagen, and raised the war feeling once more to the highest pitch. Under these cir cumstances, the Danish Government has un doubtedly taken • step as courageous as it is conciliatory in deciding to accept the proposal of the neutral Powers, provided they will guarantee an equitable and final settlement of the question on that basis. No stronger proof, indeed, could well be given of the good faith in which the Copen hagen Cabinet has all along acted, and of its sincere desire to co-operate effectually with the mediating Powers in their efforts to secure a peace able solution of this long and disastrous dispute. After this we shall probably hear no more of the " obstinacy " of Denmark, the chief and easiest form of insult resorted to by some who, after the strongest professions of friendship and as surances of support, deserted the Danes in their hour of trial. Even the most unfriendly judge must acknowledge and respect the edort which the Danish Government has thus made in the inte rests of peace. The result is that all the neutral Powers, and one of the belligerents, are now virtually in accord as to the main terms of peace, and the responsibility of rejecting them, of frustrating the labours of the Conference, and in volving Europe once more in war, rests, there fore, exclusively with the German Powers. The neutral Powers will, however, hardly escape con demnation if they fail to effect an agreement by securing the adhesion to their own proposal of the belligerent whose interests it so largely favours. But however the Conference may end, Denmark will deserve well of Europe for having seconded so effectually the good offices of the mediating Powers, and consented to such heavy sacrifices in the interests of the general peace. Meanwhile, as it is still uncertain whether the proposed basis will be accepted by the German Powers, no positive decision has been arrived at with regard to the further suspension of hostilities. Denmark is, we believe, ready to prolong the truce for a fortnight at least, on the assurance that it will really be turned to practical account, or, in other words, if the basis of a settlement is ac• ospted. If the neutral Powers areable to guarantee the acceptance of this proposal as the basis of a more detailed discussion of pacific terms, there will be an obvious and satisfactory reason for ex tending the period of suspended hostilities. But if there is no reasonable prospect of this, if no such assurance can be given before the month •riginally agreed upon expires, the Danes feel that it would be not only useless, but injurious, to pro long the discussion. Their interest in such • case would lie in the prompt resumption of hostilities, and the Danish journals are accord ingly almost unanimous in demanding the resump tion of the blockade, and the energetic prosecu tion of the war, unless the basis of a settlement is at once agreed upon. In view of this contingency the Danish Government has just decided to con voke an extraordinary sitting of the Rigsraad. But as one of the belligerents is now in virtual agreement with the neutral Powers, it may be hoped that any further resort to force may be avoided. The decision rests with the German Powers, and it must be made within the present week, as the truce originally agreed upon expires on Saturday next. The numerous postponements and delays have fairly reached their term, and in one way or other the question must now be at once decided.

PitINCESM Mr. Vining has the merit, rare amongst actor ma•egers, of not thrusting himself too much before the public. He is evidently determined to make his theatre popular with those few pkygoing Loadouers who are now left in the metropolis. Tasked of making a drama "run " for► year or two by all the modern arta of bill sticking and touting for country visitors, be cheeps his programme at reasonable intervals. Lent night the Comedy of Errors was withdrawn, after a keg run for this house, sad its place was supplied with • three eat drama, of French origin, by Mr. A. R. Sloss, called Light and Shadow. The chief character in thin new play —a meet effective stage character—was not greedily seised by the manager, bat given to Mr. Dominick Murray—an actor who made his first appearance here on Whit Monday as an Irish and low comedian. The story of Light and Shadow is laid in • period well worked by French dramatist., and turns upon the well koolllllaneodow a the hunchback who pined • fortune by letting his hump as a writing desk daring the height of the Miasitaippi•srheme The piece was warmly received, and a call was raised for Mr. Slone cm Use fall of the curtain. Mr. Slone, we may slate, is the author of The Templar, which was prodoosd at this house by Mr. Charles Kean, sad of several oilier ori gioal works and adaptations. MUSIC. MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS. The concert of last night was for Herr Ernst. This great artist, as our musical readers are aware, boa been for several years disabled by the condition of his health from practising his art, He has latterly been seeking benefit from the water cure at Malvern, and is now in London, still in a state of extreme weakness, but it is hoped progressing towards recovery. The proposal of the director of these concerts to devote one of them to his advaotage was eagerly seconded by the most eminent performers now in London : Joachim, Wiesiewski, Balk, Ries, Webb, Piatti, SUM Reeves, and two accomplished vocalists, Madame kfeyer-Dustmano and Madame Lescheticka, seelonsly eostributed their talents ; and the result he. been • moat brilliant and sac credal concert, which derived • peculiar interest from the introduction of several of Ernst's instrumental and vocal compositions. Among these was a quartet for two violins, viola, and violonoella, which was played by Joachim, Ries, Webb, and Piatti, and created • great aeration. It is • work of the highest genies; original, imaginative, full of fresh and expressive melody, end re markable for the composer's complete command of all the resources of counterpoint. In form and construction, in the manner in which the various movements (more nu morons than in works of the older school) lead into each other, we observe traces of theetudy of the later works of Beethoven ; but the details are full of novelty, and it is evident that this is one of those deeply thought and felt works which will disclose new beauties every time it is heard. We need scarcely add that it met with an enthadastic recep tion, every movement being applauded to the echo, There was another composition of Errors, • Nature." for the piano alone, a charming little move ment, of a sweet and tranquil character, which Halle played with great delicacy and feeling. The other principal instrumestal pieces were, Heyde's delicious quer , tet in D, No. 45, which displayed to great advantage Wieniawski's pure tone and brilliant execution ; an andante of Romberg for the violoncello, played by Piatti ; Ernst'e famous " Eberle, " most exquisitely played—snag, we may say—by Joachim ; and " Pinner Fugitives" of Heller and Ernst, played on the piano and violoncello by Halle and Piatti. Mr. Sims Reeves rag a beautiful Omar song, Der Fischer," composed by Ernst, and Beethoven's famous trite of melodious, the "Liederkreis ;" and the two ladies we have mentioned wog several pieces which showed that they are artists of distinguished merit. ST. JAMIB's-HALL.—A concert will be given to sight at the above hall, for the benefit of the widow and family of the late Mr. Sam Cowell. The committee who bare exerted themselves to pt up this entertainnieet in clude a great number of popular miters, sad the programme is so full and varied, sad the prices are se moderate, that • full audience may be fairly expected.

DEATH OT Kit NATHANIEL NAWTHOENE.—This well-known American author expired maddeoly, at Ply. mouth, New Hampshire, on the 19th ult. He wee oo a visit io the country, whither he bad gone to recruit his health, and wan found dead is his bed. Deceased wen the mu of a travel captain, and was born at Salem, i o H asa choose; is 1804. iduoated at Bowdoin College, in Maine, he early commenced • career of literary effort. At Met be was onsucceasful, and in 1838, under the presi dency of Mr. Van Boma, he obtained a small post in the Customs at Boston. The he held for three yeas, losing it by a political cheap. He then joined with some others in what is called the Brook Farm scheme, • Utopian en deavour to found • "perfect 'tete of society." In 1846 he wss appointed surveyor of the port of Salem, but again moo lost the post by political change. In 1852 he was appointed by President Pierce to the consulship at Liner. pool. He resigned this position in 1887, and devoted much of his remaining years to European travel. Mr. Haw tboree's last work, the "Old Hom e , " which appeared last year, and la which the author criticised English society from an American point of view, it will be recollected, gave rise to much diacusaoe in the columns of the metropolitan A letter from Plymouth, written to • friend by en- Praidat Pierce, from the house when Mr. Hawthorne died, thus speaks of the demised :—" He lies upon his side, his poetise so perfectly natural and may, his eyes closed, that it is difficult to realise, while looking upon his noble face, that this is death. He must ham pared from natural slumber to that freer which there is no waking, without the slightest movement."

PARIS, MONDAY EVIDITAG. ,urt left the Tuileries for Fontainebleau Hitherto, when the &everta goat to one of his country palaces, it has been custom ary for the ministers to go down to him frequently in • body to sit with his Majesty in council ; but is Yeir the councils will be held in Paris, and the Emperor has made arrangements to come to the Tuileries from Fontainebleau twice a week. (heat curiosity is now felt upon the subject of La Pouimerais' petition to the Emperor for a par 'dos, a recours en grdte, as it is called, but which means of course, nothing more than a prayer for a commutation of the capital sentence. Tbe circum stances justly thought to militate against the pro lability of the efforts made on behalf of the pri soner being successful are the facts that the Em peror has declined to see either his wife or his father. He has gracted an interview to his counsel. K lAchaud, but that was almost a matter of course. A dinner by several partisans of the abolition of the punishment of death would have been given at Brabant's Restaurant on Sunday, but the meet * was prohibited by the police. That looks ominous for La Pommerais. Several members of the jury, according to some journals the majority, have petitioned in favour of the prisoner. The Prase affirms that the result of tLe Emperor's deci sion cannot be known till Wednesday. On the other hand a report reaches me from a good source that La Pommerais will probably be executed at 4 a.m. to-morrow. The reason for the suspension of the Progres de Lyons is that that journal in giving a biography of the Duke of Malakoff recounted the well-known story of his having deliberately smoked to death a whole Arab tribe in the caverns of Sabara. I well remember investigating this story some years ago, and it is fair to state that I came to the conclusion it was not true. I do not, however, on that account, approve of the severe measure adopted :towards the Progres for merely repeating • well accredited anecdote. The euphonious wording of the decree of suspension is that the journal "insulted the French army by making a false representation of a military event." It is im possible to write fair memoirs of any military man if authority is to Interfere in this way with private judgMent on historical facto. The journals warmly discuss the question whether M. Henan is really dismissed from his Hebrew pro fessorship or not. The France says be mud be taken to have resigned. But M. Henan contend s himself, that since be has not accepted the new place offered him by the Emperor, and since be has not been in terms dismissed, he remains legally in possession of his chair, and the DEW', Temps, and Opinion Nationale support this view of the case. The Gordian knot will probably be cut by autho rity before long. Prince Achille Murat (aged 18), the grandson of Prince Lucien Murat, of the imperial family, leaves Paris to-day for Algeria, to serve as a private soldier under the orders of the native general, Yusuf. A duel was fought at Thionville on Saturday between two officers of • lancer regiment ; one of them was mortally wounded. A medical congress will be holden at Lyons its September; it is to discuss scientific subjects only and not professional interests. The France says that the inhabitants of Kiel have petitioned the London Conference that Kiel may be declared a free and neutral port. The Bourse remains without variation or anima tion. THE TRIALS OF THE ARMSTRONG AND UHITWORTH GUNS. The experiments with shell of the two kinds— the Armstrong segment and the Boxer shrapnel, which consists of segments and bullets—were con tinued during the past week, commencing with Monday's firing. The general reunite of the trials with shell of the two descriptions will be sufficient to indicate what is likely to obtain the judgment in its favour, the details of the elects of each round on the targets having really very little, compara tively speaking, to do with the question of which system of artillery is to be preferred. As we have already anticipated, from observing the ediet.of.tise two kinds of shell, it has been found that the bullets go much further than the segments, and have greater penetrating power. That this should be the case is in accordance with the action of the two shells in the bursting. The bursting charge of the Armstrong segment shell is equally distributed throughout the cavity of the shell, and when ex ploded it scatters the segments in the direction of so many lines, which would represent the resultant between that of the propelling form of the gun's charge and that of the bursting charge. In the Boxer shell the bursting charge is at the rear of the shell, and the shell being made weaker at the front, the head is blown off at the moment of explosion, the body of the. shell generally retaining its integrity and passing on, while the bullets are projected and spread, and the seg ments are more widely scattered. This projectile, indeed, acts as has been described, like a flying howitzer ; it seems to have the important property of combining the good effect of the Armstrong segments with bullets and a heavy shot in the form of the containing iron case. In attacking batteries with casemate. the Armstrong segment, however, would no doubt be a most effective kind of shell. The testing for endurance has been carried on at the same time with the set of guns first employed lin the experiments, and by this time the guns have withstood successfully close upon 2,000 1 rounds (1,969). The new set of guns will be em ployed in carrying out the programme for ascertain ing the best gun for range and accuracy, which during the present week will, we understand, be in firing thirty rounds at each of the following eleva tions, viz., 15 deg., 20 deg., and 30 deg. The trials of the 70-pounders commenced on Thursday last ; the three guns, which correspond to their smaller relatives precisely except in size, weight, and calibre, were fired fifteen rounds at targets placed at 1,500 yards range. They were worked and laid entirely by artillerymen, and the hits obtained were for the Whitworth 5, the breech loader, 3 ; and the shunt gun, 0.

APPEALS. YI3,,VERSON V. TILVIZION. 'he arguments in this case were resumed by Mr. Solt, who proceeded to call attention to the cern:. pudenda between the appellant end the respondeot after they met in the Crimea. He, however, first referred to the evidence of General Straubenrie, with whom and his wife the respondent was staying in the caul, before Sebastopol, and which in effect went to show that the respondent came thither ostetsita to see the scene of the war, and the witness had co idea of there being any love affair between her and the appellant while he deposed to her propriety of conduct and dune. nour. Lady &ruthless's** evidence, which WAS next se. tarred to, showed that, at the request of the respondent, ten days after her arrival an invitation wu tent to the apt eilant, with whom witness was scquainted, and he dined at (.eneral Staautisosee's and visited the respondent several times there, sod was regarded as her suitor. On the f".9th March the re. spondent was cooducted to a steamer at Balaklava to de put for Constantinople. It was argued from this that the respondent had followed the appellant to the Crimea, s ad bad interviews with him, which, according to the !e.t.a, dent, had reference to a marriage contemplated to us e place at the close of the war. The learned counsel then turned so the commpondeou which followed these /sweats, and commerooed with a letter of the resmoden , , which began with the following passage :—" This tine last Saturday night, Carlo mm, wu our second stutter some. God grant the third be not far distant, and toe consummation of all. Wide most ecosatrie plienomenoo that oar destiny should bang by a steamboat: bid Igo to deep and dream it, that you watched over me far HI the grey dawn? I woks, and thought I saw yea: . The letter referred to metier difficulties, which she thought could be got over, and amongst other things she sa id , want to ask you, Carlo mio, in the name of the few short happy hours we have passed together, to make me the coaddeste of your thoughts, as you could were I sues heureuse to be sear enough to read your hi art. Then you appeared to be frank enough, and the delight of sympathy is to share everything. good or bad ; and as 1 know the length, depth, and breadth of your wicked. nem, sow you need have no fear of losing me good opiuioe." Again she said, " Our oorrespooden4 ought to have generated in you, as in me, esteem, affection, affectionate trust, aced consdenee, idetheed ethereal love, lOTA to live or die, from a little platonic at first, hut Enallv becoming the elixir par excellence of life. You might be in love with a Tut-kiss instead of a sparitiudised English. woman. I could easily comprehend that great *eternal attractions might have operated on your sense of the beau. tiled, to., and befog of an indaronsable temperament (which, to spite of your apparent coldness andetoiciern, I think TOR MUST be). you might take fire. But nature has sot endowed me with • single physical beauty calculated to excite such sediment. I have not a feature that will beer inspection —no eyes but when the soul speaks through them ; and no one would ever look at me a second time. were it not for the contents—not the casket itself. On this I rely, not only to gem (if I have • chaste, but to keep your affections. However, by this time, you have no doubt come to your more sober muses, and 1 must forgive you your medusa sad folly this ems, eye., a thou. sand times, if neceseary, but you must, you will eventually, become all my heart's desire. The strongest and most pro admit point of my character is the extreme tenacity of mimosa—and I may may the incapacity to relinquish an object once fairly sought. No obsteoledeunts—nosacrificampodsm e —no somas, however trivial, escape me, and straggle only animists my ORUIDAW When animated by a oar 4ea, I as win my way with anyone, and have, under these mecum. stances, made the most unpromising people do the most unlikely things ; bat it is seldom I get roused to this energy. —I am usually very quiet and harmless, and too yielding." This pasage was especially relied on to show that the re. epoodeot now fay understood the appellant's pus. pose, sod made up her mind not to give him up notwithstanding. In a subsequent letter she said, "I cannot mistake you any longer; you ware me of oldecles, but encourage me not to be daunted by them." Again, " You come to Galata, and renew viva rue what you have written. You came with the intention of binding me to your fate, and had I had • father or brother to have onsulted, I think he would have considered it so. I think he would have considered that you were bound in honour to me." It was urged, • from the tone and language of these and other paasagss, that although the respondent was aiming at marriage it wee yet quite mosisteet with the expressions that the appellant might think that they had reference to another coseelion, which was the only one he ow:dimple...id if any ! In another passage the respondent said, " I anent continue the siege much longer. Unless you raise it. I must either yield prisoner it discretion or run away ! What arc I Itodo ? Tell me. I think if you would tell me exactly what to do I could find courage and means to do it:" Again, "I conclude you will not entertain any of my plasa. I have soother which might gratify your wishes aad satisfy my conscience, bat I have not the courage to propose it. lo not keep me in this death etruggle—put an end to it at once." In another place she said "Reason has lost her sway ; all the self.discophini, all the philosophy, all the Uranium and teaching of my life are gone for nothing; I am • week, helpless woman, and God knows I have done my beet not to yield, neither have !forgotten Mark strength from whence slope it coma" Teen too, "Come and show me which way the ocenpase points sad I'll go, but above all don't keep me is suspense, don't, dear Carlo, pray don't. If before you arrive I feel that I eon do without you I leave word for you at the Post-office. Oh, it is wretchedly weak of me, bat I cannot help it now, so you meat be my friend." It was argued th st the latt e r phrase was one which would not be misunderstood, and that every ', use must apply to it their tiodenundies of such language. In • letter of July ; 1855, she wrote, "If we have freed out the secret which constitutes to us the ideal of hippie's' —Moloch is unpropitious, and refuses us the boon u a whols—can we not submit to circumstaome, sad take it ss • half. • Quaid on na pas os Woe aim.

The Kent, from Melbourne, 90 days out, arrived of here so-day. She landed 16 passenger end mails. She brings 31,632 oz. of gold. THE DUKE OF AUGUSTENBURG. A. letter from Berlin says :—" Since the chances of the Duke of Augustenburg have increased in a manner so surprising, Prussian diplomacy on the one side, and that cf Austria and the secondary states of Germany on the other, have displayed a singular activity in securing in advance the sympathies of the Duke of Slestrig-Holstein-Lauenburg. Upon this point there is neither truce nor pardon, and, though lees apparent in the eyes of Europe than the war against Denmark, this internal and diplomatic war is not lees passionate." The following remarks of the Botschafter of Vienna seem to confirm, so far as Austria is con cerned at least, the assertions of the foregoing letter. The Botschafter says :—" We understand that the Duke of Augustenburg is expected at Vienna. The duke knows that Austria has taken the initiative in his favour, and the tact which he has displayed in circumstances of difficulty shows that he will pay as much regard for the conquerors of Oberselk and of Oversee, and for the combatants of Heligoland, as for the vanquishers of Duppel. The duke's visit gives us much pleasure for another reason. It is a certain proof that the duke has not engaged in any military convention, or anything of the kind, with Prussia ; for he knows that that would secure him here a very cold reception. As it is, the duke may be certain of the most distin guished welcome, and we congratulate ourselves that things have taken such • turn that official sympathies are now directed towards Vienna—the I living symbol of the German came." 11 ~~ !•
