We have now a more detailed account of the butchery at Duppel this day week, which the Ger man Powers poetponec' the Conference to perpe trate, and it is of a kind which must have satisfied even M. BISMARCK'S lust of useless bloodshed and gratuitous violence. Had the Conference met at the appointed time the Prussian troops would pro bably have held a few sandy hills the leas, and very nearly two thousand lives would have been saved. The Danes, it appears, held their posi tions to the last, having commenced their retreat across the bridge to Alsen only when all their works were in the enemy's hands. The German official papers speak contemptuously of what they call the obstinacy of the Danes. But free nations are accustomed to be obstinate in their resistance to the military despots who would enslave or destroy them ; and the Danes have earned the gratitude of every free people in Europe, of every small nationality in the world, by their heroic de fence of their national existence. It was evident to all within the works at Duppel, for days, if not weeks, before the final attack, that it would be impossible to hold the place much longer, and that it must almost inevitably fall be fore anything like a vigorous and continued as sault. Some days before the assault, our Corm• spondent, referring to the Duppel works, said : "If victory rewards his rather timid strategy, " Marshal WRANGEL will marvel at the trouble such " entrenchmenta have cost him. Without regular " fortifications or bomb proofs, the Danes hold on " desperately to a line of ruined forts connected "by low curtains." This was written of coarse before the terrific and most destructive bombard ment had taken place. What the condition of the works was after the cannonade on the morning of this day week, when the worn out Danish troop& mustered to their fearful vigil for the last time, may be sufficiently learnt in the statement of an eye-witness. " During the " night front Sunday to Monday the bombard " meat had been carried on with greater vehe " mence than had previously been known, and our " works—already little better than hears of " rubbish, and whose guns were mostly dis " mounted—were now in perfect ruins. Nut a " bridge could be raised, not a cannon was unin " jurod ; everything demonstrated that an a-sault " must succeed." Although anticipated by the Danes much earlier, the advance of the storming parties from the Prussian parallels did not take place until ten o'clock, and by tw•e've the struggle was over, the Danish army having retreated to Allen, and the whole of the D ppel works being in the hands of the Prussians, But the conflict, if comparatively short, appears to have been while it lasted, especially at some points, terribly severe. The Prussian attack commenced by a simultaneous assault in six columns on the six forte which con stituted the left wing of the Danish line. The cannonade against these forts had from the first been most continuous and most destructive, seve ral of them being directly exposed to the powerful Broager batteries, had sustained their severe flank ing fire for weeks before the assault. The assault ing parties had little difficulty in reaching the Danish works, the majority of the guns having been previously silenced, and the distance to be traversed between the parallels and the forts being at most only a few hundred paces. The majority of the forts were accordingly stormed in • few minutes, and then the hand •to-hand fighting within the works commenced. Here the inferiority of the Danes in point of numbers speedily told with disastrous effect. The Danish brigade con sisting of the 2nd and 22nd Regiments, which formed the first line on the left wing, was soon not only outflanked but isolated, the three forts to wards the centre having been captured before those on the extreme left, the retreat of the left wing, which had thus become inevitable, was, however, to a great extent, cut off, and after a desperate resistance what remained of the gallant brigade which held this part of the line was compelled to surrender. An heroic attempt was indeed made to rescue these devoted regiment', but the central forts had fallen so rapidly that the reserves could not be brought up until it was too lute. All that bravery, how ever, and determination could do was done. " The men nevertheless went furward with steady " courage under a violent fire ; they succeeded in " repulsing the enemy, and even in recovering a " portion of the works, but were ultimately corn " pulled to withdraw by the hail of bullets from " the storming parties, and the tire of the field " batteries planted upon the heights." The struggle at this p4int appears to have been a des perate one, these regiments having lost half their numbers in a fee.. minutes. According to the re port of a local journal favourable to the invaders, it was in fact a " horrible butchery." " The " Danish losses in killed were enormous ; in some "places ten and twelve corpses lay one across " another ; the ground was torn up, and great "pools of blood covered the surface." The Danish official account states that of these supporting re giments less than half fell in after the engagement. After this complete defeat of the left wing the right could not of course long be held, but for • time the defence in this quarter was more sue• cessful. The regiments not only held their ground after the retreat on the left, but kept open their c - immunicatious, and retired to the oc-du-pont in good order, though with considerable loss. But perhaps the most remarkable feature of the whole struggle is the gallant manner in which the t,P •de pout was held by its small garrison against the whole force of the advancing Prussians, backed by TIER EXPRESS, MONDAY • tremendous cannonade firm *shale** theylcad just taken. This consentmated fire dismounted the guns, raked the bridges, and est the lotto part of Sonderborg again in flames. But the garrison nevertheless held the position against successive storming parties of the enemy until the whole of the retreating party had reached Alien. Further resistance being then useless, the garrison also retreated to the fdte-du-posf, the bridges were disconnected, and the safety of the army secured. This must be considered an important achievement. With the Duppel guns silenced, the forts in ruins, and • general assault made by an enemy possessing an over superiority in men and material, the only marvel is that the whole Danish army was not captured or annihilated.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Titiens, who made her first appear ance of this season on the evening of Garibaldi's visit, appeared again in the same character, Luerezia Borgia, on Saturday. Oa the first night Multi.. Title°s was the heroine of the evening, the noble guest of the nation was the hero, and naturally engrafted the largest share of the attention and enthusiasm of the audience. But if the debt of homage to the great lyric artist was not duly paid on her first appearance it was only deferred, for her reception on Satunlay was as splendid as any she had ever received. It would be idle to describe or eulogise a performance so well known to the public. Her person►tion of the terrible Borgia is now grander than ever; a delineation of hate and vengeance, managed and relieved, but at the same time rendered more striking by its contrast with the utmost intensity of a mother's love, ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. .... Urn Ballo in Mam•lient was performed at Covent garden no Saturday evening to a full house, and with very great e ff ect. Madame Lagrua achieved anoth e r t r i um ph in the cheraeter of Amelia ' the erring and penitent, and met intereidant: herein,. Her acting was full of sensi bility and pathos, and her singing was that of a coosummate artist. Graziani, though his performance was not equal, io a dramatic point of view, to that of DelleSedie, by whom the part of Renato was Gras sustained in this coun try, sang very finely, and was well received. Mario's per pupation of the Duke was picturesque and noble. He sang, ton, with a tenderness and feeling all his own, though his voice did not always accomplish his intentions, and • law imperfect notes seemed to displease the ears of some con noisseurs in whose judgment an ''nt de poitrine" is the con summation of the vocal art. Mane. Battu looks and singe the part of Oscar, the court page, very prettily. The opera is beautifully mounted. The concluding scene of the masked hall is one of the most splendid spectacles to be seen on the stage.

The Prase of Vienna says :—" The news that the Prussian troops are about to occupy Jutland has caused as much astonishment in Vienna as in London and Paris. The motive put forward by Prussia namely, that of ob taining the means of indemnifying herself for the losses sustained by the German shipping— is not accepted here as an adequate one. It is considered here that a sufficient guarantee has been got by the complete occupation of Sleswig. It is said that Austria has made urgent representations against the occupation of Jutland, and it is to be feared that if Prussia goes too far, the Western Powers will interpose their veto. The strategic reasons for the occupation of Jutland having been removed by the taking of Duppel, it would be unwise, for a pecuniary motive, to bring about the intervention of France and England. As for us (says the Presse), we cannot back these representa tions of the cabinet of Vienna. We cannot find fault with Prussia for wishing to bold a sufficient guarantee to indemnify herself for the expenses of the war. It is not prudent to raise objections at Berlin against the occupation of Jutland, for it would make Prussia popular, and alienate from us the popular sympathy. ALGERIA. The disturbances in Algeria, although it is hoped they will not be serious, have been thought a sufficient reason for reinforcing the French army there. The 77th Regiment, which was under marching orders from Montpellier to the Chalons Camp, received a countermand on Friday, and has been sent by rail to Toulon, where it will em bark immediately. (azurra's TELEGRAMS.) THE RUSSIAN PLENIPOTENTIARY AT THE CONGRESS. BERLIN, Arm. Z.

In another similar case, an upholsterer named Lewens, of No. 36, Rue Se daine, was sentenced to six days' imprisonment. A day of reckoning fur these thiuge roust surely come. The Nation speaks to-night of a probable visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to the Court of the Tuileries, as a consequence of the renewal of the entente cordiale. I heard a rumour at the time of Lord Clarendon's visit that their royal high nesses would shortly he received at Fontainebleau, and thus realise a project on which the Empress had long set her heart. They are wanting to her collection of royal guests. It is stated by the Cuurrierde f Algtrie as a good symptom (iu reference to recent disturbances in Algeria) that the population iu the neighbourhood of Abd-el-Kader's old capital are altogether iu favour of the government.

The Union Company's Cape Royal Mail steam ship Itelnan, Captain William Stentt, has arrived at Plymouth with the month's homewarl mina Her dates are—left Table Bay, March 21 ; St. Helena, March 30 ; and Ascension, April 2 : The Governer, Sir Philip Wedeboese had visited the Bowie month and Fort Beaufort. His excellency's popularity ,in the eastern province was at the righL sl t a piteh ; wherever be went he wee received with entlstwiestie demonstrations of applause. The ggoovernor's projeoted measures in parliament were not eoaeiderd very satisfactory by the eastern provincial people, as he had dis- Meetly announced that he should not disturb the approach ing session with any discussions op projected chugss of an organic character in the constitution of the colony. o They bed thus, therefore, so hopes of the separation or federation of the provinces, or of the removal of the seed of government. Parliament was to meet et Graham's Town on April 27. Foremost eulogist the questioes to he agitated would be that of ways and means. and some lively damask= were looked forward to epee it, as while though additional taxa tion most be resorted to was admitted very geoerally, yet hardly two politicians could be got to scree together what the new impolite should be. The harvest throughout the colony had been • most prolific one, and the prices of all kinds of proclaim were lower than had been known for years. The unnsualkv heavy rides that had prevailed throughout the whole of the eastern districts during the month had caused severe floods, which had tended greatly to interrupt communication, and several fatal results bad occurred at the fords of the rivers, the greet want of bridges having been severely felt. There had been an average amount of business during the month, but trade was considered rather dull. Mousy was abundant. There had been several ahippiog casualties. The Roman brings home a series of 12 oil paintings of the Victoria Falls and a number of other sketches by the artist and traveller Baines.

The Confederate war steamer Alabama put, into Table Bay on March 20 for coals and other eupplies. The total number of ships captured and destroyed by the Alabama in the Indian seas had been seven, viz, the Amanda, Winged Racer, Contest, Martaban or Texan Ster, Sectors, Highlander, and Emma Jule ; bat Captain S--nmee reckoned the damage indirectly . doge to the Federal American commerce by his cruise in the Indian see as univalent to a sum of 5,000,000 dollars, as the presence of the Alabama hid caused such a panic that great numbers of the American Federal ships lay in Singapore and other harbours for more than three months, unable to get freight and afraid to venture oat to sea. The Alabama was ex pected to remain in Table Bay for three or four days. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY. APRIL $l5, DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI FOR CORN- WALL-(THIS DAY). SLOUGH. MONDAY MORNING. General Garibaldi took his departure this morn ing from Slough. The 9.16 express tel from Psddingtea ran through to this statim,where it Mopped to take up and mosey him to Cornwall, to the home of Woad hard. The station mu crowded with the tlige of Windsor, who greeted the genteel with hearty and prolonged cheers. The general, amompanied by the Dowager Duelers, the Duchess, sad the Duke of flulharbutd, left ClSldea soca after 8 o'clock, in a oscine sad four, followed in other car riages by Mr. Seely, ILP., Oolociel Chambers, and im mense mambos of the generes suite. They arrived at the Slough Seiko id good time for the train from Loathe, in which were Colonel Picard and Mr. Negretti, who, toge ther with the duke, will accompany the general to Ply mouth. Alters short stay the train moved slowly out of the statics, amidst the eatinstaidie cheers el the people. On Friday afternoon General Garibaldi planted in the grounds of the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, at Cliefden. a cork tree which bad bees promoted to her grace by the Duke of Richmond.

Yesterday, the Italian artists engaged at Windsor in in laying the roof of Cardinal Wolavy's chapel with glees mosaics, visited Garibaldi at Cliefden. The general had Nee them oa the previous day at Windsor, and personally invited them to cell upon him. Gen of them, it appears, served as a soldier under Garibaldi during the campaign which did so much for Italian unity. At the general's request, Menotti and Ricciottl Garibaldi left Cliefden early yesterday meanie( for London, and called on Captain and Mrs. Richardson, Sussex-gardens, for the purpose of thanking them for their kindness. The general will probably stop an hour or two at Wey mouth before leaving our shores, as he desires to pay a visit to the admiral of the Channel fleet for the purpose of seeing the iron-clads. The Duchess of Sutherland left Stafford House on Satur day afternoon, to join the Durham (Dowager) of Suther land's party at Clielden, near Maidenhead, to remain during the stay of General Garibaldi.

My Lord Duke.—At Mr. Seely's special request I sew Genera! Garibaldi, at Stafford-house, within a few hours of his departure from Loodon. The General declared himself se well as be bad ever been since he arrived in Englead, but on close inquiry admitted fatigue, both of body and bride. My impreedou was that he looked jaded Led worn. The fatigue Resonated with his receptions in Loadonnh readily have accounted for this; but there was so o ther reason equally urgent. Your grace will be sorry to learn that he has latterly suffered from boils, and he had two on his left forearm, one of which alone might have made another maniere up all his ordinary occupations for a time. I think it due to your grace, to Mr. Seely, and other who advised with the general regarding his intended provincial movements, that you should he made acquainted with this, and I hope that your grace will consider it as a proof that it was sot without good reason that I presumed to intrude my test opinion on a subject which wee so full of interest to even one.—l have the honour to be your grace's most obedient servant, " W.

A public meeting, convened by the Working Men's Reception Committee, was cannoned to be h.ld on Saturday evening on Primrose-hill, immediately after the conclusion of the proceedings connected with the Shake spears commemoratioo, for the purpose of "protesting spinet the manner io which General Garibaldi bad been honied away from England, and to demand farther explanations from the government as to the cause of hi hurried depar ture." At a few minutes before six o'clock, the committee, about seventy in number, came upon the ground, midst loud cheep, sod took up a position on the top of the bill. They were accompanied by Professor Beelei,jl: E. W. Sheen, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Edmund and several intlueotial members of the City eons nsittee. Mr. Bealee was voted to the chair, and at once took up a position on one of the wooden seats fixed on the top of the hill.

"Tun the fellows out at the gates."
