Several heavy pieces of ordnance have been dismounted, and much of the upper part of the entrenchment. from No. 1 to No. 6 has been shot away. The Ditppel windmill, which served the Danes both as a powder magazine and observatory, has been destroyed. The Prussian troops in Jutland bave advanced northwards. They drove the Danes out of Horsens after a short engagement, and nine- . quently advanced by way of Hansted. HAMBURG, Anin.l2. The Borsenhalle of to-day publishes the follow ing telegram :—" Flensburg, April 11.—The fire from the Drippel bastions was to-day very feeble. Three of them were quite ailent. The Danes are preparing to evacuate their entrenchments." THE CONFERENCE. BERLIN, An= 12.

MIRAMAR, Alain 12. The health of the Emperor Maximilian is rapidly improving. The Empress received the corporation of Trieste and some foreign deputations today. Their Majesties will probably embark on Thursday next. GREECK. TIIREsi, Aram 12. News received here from Athena announoes that the Ministry had tendered, but subsequently with drawn, their resignation. Disturbances had taken place between the Catholics and Greeks in Syra, but they were not of a political character. One company of a regiment Lad mutinied at Patna. THE OVERLAND MAIL By the arrival of the Overland Mail, we have advices from Calcutta to March 8 ; Madras,, March 16 ; Hong Kong, March 1 ; Singapore, Match 8 ; Sydney, Feb. 20 ; Melbourne, Feb. 24 ; Adelaide, Feb. 25 ; Brisbane, Feb. 18 ; Auckland, Feb. 9 ; Dunedin, Feb. 16, kc. The city of Kia-shing-fa ban surrendered to the Imperialists in China. The siege of Hangchau is progressing favourably ; six or seven stockades are in the bands of the Franco-Chinese force, and the city ix likely to fall soon. The Moil says that the English officers in the Franco- Chinese contingent have been dismissed owing to an ebullition of ill-temper on the part of General d'Aigabelle's second in com mand, and that the troops have expressed disgust at the event. The Japanese embassy arrived at Hong Kong on the last day of February. It consists of three ministers, six first-class officers, ten second-class officers, and sixteen serrants—in all thirty-five. It is the intention of the embassy, who are accompa nied by Mr. Blakeman, of the French legation, to visit Paris, London, and the various capitals of countries which have treaties with Japan, for the purpose of explaining the present state of affitire, and likewise to endeavour to arrive at some arrangement about foreigners quitting Yokohama. The entire expenses of the embassy are borne by the Tycoon's government. A rumour was current in Hong Kong that the ambassadors were men of low extraction put for ward under false pretences. From Melbourne we learn that the third and last session of the Victoria parliament began on the 26th of January. The usual ceremonies were con ducted by his Excellency Sir Charles Darling. The vice-regal speech embraced the ministerial pro gramme, and gave promise of an abundance of measures of utility. Foremost ►mongst them was a new land bill, framed with the view of " encou raging agricultural and pastoral enterprise." Also, a aeries of measures for the better management of thegold fields, the administration of justice thereon, the settlement of the difficult question of mining on private property, and a comprehensive scheme of water supply for the gold-fields, as well as the agri cultural and pastoral lands. Of the other mea sure*, the more important were bills to amend the lionising laws, the insolvency laws, fur the estab lishment of juvenile reformatories, and the legali sation of trading companies, with limited liability. On an early day afterwards the treasurer, Mr. Verdon, explained the financial condition of the colony to the close of 1863. Contrary to general expectation, there is no deficit. It was anticipated that the final closing of aooounts would leave about 30,0001. to the credit of the colony. The Amu+ says :—" An energetic protest by the government against even the continuance of trans portation to Western Australia goes home by the present mail. South Australia has made an equally determined display of the sentiments of the people of that colony on this subject ; and there can be no doubt that the other Australian colonies will send home independent remonstrances of the same pur port. There is not the slightest change in public feeling on the subject, and not the smallest pos sibility of anything less than the absolute emotion of transportation to Australia satisfying the people of Australis." The transportation question had excited much attention in Adelaide. Opposition to the revival of transportation is very strong, and public meetings on the subject were to be held throughout the colony. The war in New Zealand proceeds. The natives are concentrated in an extensive and elaborately fortified work at Piko-Piko. General Cameron has placed troops all around the works, which, at the latest dates, were being shelled. The difficulty of providing supplies of food for • large force was great, the transport service being performed under enormous disadvantages. The General's intention is to starve the enemy into submission. If defeated las Piko-Piko it is improbable that the Maories I would longer protract the war. 1 % it t • ,) I 111, 1 . 6 it I; q i , r ~,~ °,~~ } ~: •, f EE i I ,r'
