This Company has been ra — nOe.l7 as its name Implies, for the purpose of &Nutrias the business of Cramer, Wood, and Co.. the well-known Music Publishers in itegentatreet. This business has for halt a century been in the highest re pute, not only in En land, but throughout the whole of Swope. It still maintains its prestige, and is largely increasing each )ear. The property comprises the valuable musical copyrights of the firm, embracing the largest collection of music extant. The stock of pianofortes and other tannest Instruments for sale and hire—one of the most extensive in the metrepolls—la, and has for a long time been, highly remunerative. A conditional agreement has been entered Into with Mr. Wood. the only surviving partner and present proprietor. for the transfer to the Company, as from the El at of December last, of the entire business (tree Dom all liabilities', in perfect working order, including the whole stock in trade, and the leases of the commanding premiere, 1110, 101, te7, and Mk ltegent-dreet. ay, Coadutt-nzset. and US, Kingstreet. at a price the Directors be lieve to he reasonable and advantageous to the Company.

He hu Moo agreed to accept a large proportion of the purchase money In paid-up shares. In the interests of the sharehslders it has been thought desir able to keep the present proprietor Identified with the business, and arrangements han been made with him wh.ch will secure his services in the capulty of General Manager for a period of at least three years. During this time, and for the brother period of two yes" Mr. Wood undertakes to guarantee—in any manner required by the Direeton to make the Itharelioblers secure--the payment of a minimum dividend of £lO per tent per annum upon the cspital.

To-day the gates of the Agricultural-hall were thrown open to the admirers of noble horse flesh, the throng being all the greater in con sequence of the recent interesting discussion in the House of Commons on that nationally important subject, and the promise of General Peel that the British public would soon have an opportunity of satisfying themselves that their breed of horses was not deciar.mg, by the inspection of some of the finest hones that had ever been got together. The present show, which owes its existence mainly to the exertions of Hr. Sidney, the secretary to the Agricultural-hall Company, is, we believe, the first great exhibition of horses that we have bad in the metropolis. Horses, it is true, formed part of the Battersea show, but there were only ten racing stallions exhibited, whereas in Islington there are forty, including some of the moet famous names on the turf. The arrangements are of the best possible description, the boxes being wide, clean, and airy, and the various appliances required by the groom sup plied in the greatest abundance. In the centre is the ride, which to-day presented a most attractive spectacle, as in it tie horses were paced up and down for the inspection of the judges, who held their court openly in the face of the public. When we say that amongst the judges are the Earl of Portsmouth, Captain J. White, Mr. William Wylliams (Billy), who se lected Voltigeur as a yearling, Colonel W. Cotton, and Captain Williams, the public will be satisfied not only as to the fairness but the critical accuracy of the awards. First iu attraction iu the show will most probably be the noble racing stallions, forty in number, each of them bearing a distin guished name in the history of the turf. Carac tacus arrived late last evening, and was at once jealously boarded up against all profane peepers, as became a hone of his prowess and dignity. Carbieeer came early, and was also honoured with a hoarding, but the remainder were placed in open boxes, and seemed to enjoy their luxurious quarters exceedingly. Great Eastern is a perfect giant, and then there are Amsterdam and The Radii, and Sir Peter Laurie and Neville, and other noble horses well known on the turf, and any one of which would alone be an attractive exhibition. To the general eye they will all seem equally perfect and beau tiful, whilst the most critical will admit that out of England such a troop of horses could not be got together anywhere in the world. Next to the racing stallions in beauty, and offering means for a most instructive and suggestive comparison, are the Barbs and Arabs about which we have all heard so much, but of which so few have any personal knowledge. Here is the genuine "Steed of the Desert," the property of Major Rawlinson, and with a pedigree dating back to the days of Ishmael This horse is a small bay, looking nothing beside one of our first-rate English horses, but, like an Indian shawl, he is said to be much better and more valuable than be looks. The public will see him pace up and down the side today, as well es -Great Eastern, and Caractacus, and Carbineer, and will ludg3 for themselves as to whether a little discount is not to be taken off Eastern hyperbole in the description of these wondrous steeds of the desert. There is another, a flea-bitten grey, which is truly a bone of rare symmetry, but here again are we irresistibly led to endorse General Peel's verdict, namely, that the English horse takes precedence of all the horses in the world, barbs and prophets included. Then there are ninety beau tifal ponies of all sizes : some famous for their action, some for their diniiuutivenens, some for their birthplace. A little white Exmoor mare will no doubt be a great favourite with the ladies, and there is • bay horse scarcely ten bands high who is more riotous and kicks up a greater uproar than the largest charger or racer iu the show. Amongst the 69 hunters there are some remarkable horses, " equal to any weight over any country," and here Admiral llnus's favourable opinion of the Irish hunters receives full confirmation, there being an Irish horse exhibited which, whether as a weight carrier or a charger, surpasses anything of the class in the show. The rest of the exhibition consists of cobs and hacks, of which there are about sixty, and which will well repay inspection. There are no cart horses, and but few coach horses, Ole entries of thoroughbreds being so numerous as to leave little room for any but the moretistinguiahed members of the equine aristocracy. Great interest is taken in the show in the highest circles, and his Im perial Majesty the EmPeror of the French has sent over an officer of is household to inspect and report on the state of English horse flesh. Even yesterday the hall was visited by numbers of noblemen and gentlemen cocnected with the sport ing world, and all expressed the greatest satisfac tion with the arrangements. • RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PAHLIA NEUT.—AdditionaI evidence wee yesterday adduced in favour of the Greet Eastern Railway Company's proposed new nulways and cestralOity statics. Mr. Hawkehaw, C R., wee examined, and expressed an opinion that the proposed in creased facilities for the traffic of the company were amen- Ually required in coosequeure more particularly of the increased traffic on the Cambridge section of their system. It bad been urged that the extra •CCOOIIIIOIIM.IOO required might be adequately supplied by the doubling of the North London line between Hackney std their City terroions in Liverpoolatreet ; but be (Yr. Hairkshaw) was of opinion that the London and North Western and North Loodoo would requa all that accommodation for themselves. The Great Samara communicated with three concuss, bed ex pended twenty milliou; and had 000atructed 600 miles of railway, and were entitled for the accommodation of their traffic to have these additional rail ways and an independent terminus in London. Mr. Wilkinson then addressed the committee against the bill for the inhabitants of St. Leonard'o, Sboreditcb, sod the committee adjourosd. The Earl of Lucas was under examination all day, relative to the general and financial position of the Midland Great Western of Ireland railway, of which he is the chairman. In Mr. Maaaey'e committee the bills considered and passed included the Holston and Penryn Railway, Albeit Bridge, and approaches • Furness Gas, Ardromaa Harbour, Wandsworth Brid g e, New Brighton Pier, and Fleeterad Docks. Mr. Calvert, Q.C., opened the cage of the Hera Bey and Resolver Fishery Bill, previously pared is the Lords, in a committee of which Mr. Fainck is chairman. The object of the bill is to enclose a large extent of foreehore now open to fisher. ma and the public between Herne Bav and she Reculvers, and to reclaim and cultivate it for tishieg purposes. Com. mender Banal, director of the Thames Conservancy Mt. board, Mr. Frank Bucklaml, the piseiculturiet, were en amioed in favour of the bin by Mr. Rodwell sod Mr. Francis ; and against it, foe the free dredger+ sad fishermen, by Mr. Merewrinier, Sr T.

THE WAR IN DENMARK. _ , . APEs'RADE, Jun 28. Two Large Danish ships of war have been severely handled by the Prussian batteries at this port. Within five minutes one of them received ten shots in her broadside, while the other lost her foremast. HOLDING, JUNE 29. The coast is kept in • constant state of alarm by Danish gunboats. FLENSBURG. Jun 29, 9 e.m. The construction of the pontoon bridges to Aleen was commenced at 2 a.m. today, whereupon the Prussian and Danish batteries opened fire. Witiiin one hour the construction of the pontoons was com pleted, and at 4 a.m. the first Prussian soldiers landed on the island. The Prussians immediately advanced, the Danes retreating after stabborniy_ , contesting each position. At 2 p.m. Ile Pre mien' had already reached Vollerup and Ulkebull. Eye witnesses state that Prince Frederick Charles crossed at Sonderborg, while the passage of the main body was effected at Sandberg. The 64th and 24th infantry were among the regiments which crossed the Sound. The Prussian loss during the passage was 100 men. Some street fighting took place in Sonderborg, in which the Prussian loss was small. 1,000 Danish prisoners, including many officers, were brought into Fleus-1 burg this evening. THE PLANS OF AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. BEB.LLV, Juxi 30. The Ministerial Prorinzial Corresponde nz of to day says :—" At Carlsbad Austria and Prussia have come to decisive arrangements respecting the imme diate objects of the campaign, and have agreed to the necessary steps for the ultimate solution of the question of the duchies. The government and taxa tion of Jutland will be taken in band by Prussia and Austria. Preparation, will be made for crossing into Fuhnen. Sleawig-Holstein is to be placed under the common administration of commissioners appointed by the German Powers. Iu the succes• sion question, which has become doubtful, Prussia will wisely consult her own interests and those of Germany." SAXONY AND THE DANISH QUESTION. DRESDEN, Jan 30. At the sitting of the Upper Chamber to-day the motion of Chamberlain von Zehmen came on for discussion. The Chamber decided unanimously upon request ing the government to use its influence with the Federal Diet to induce that body to take part in the continuation of the war, and to settle the question of right to the succession in the Duchies as speedily as possible. Herr von Falkenstein, the Minister for Public Education," stated that instructions in this sense had already been forwarded to the Saxon repre sentative at the Diet. He declared further, that the active participation of the Diet in the war, and the recognition of the Duke of Anguatenburg, appeared certain. PERSIA. TRIESTE, Jour 30.

By the arrival of the above mails we have received advices from Madras to May 28 ; Calcutta, May 22 ; 'Singapore, May 21 ; Hong Kong, May 13 ; Shaughae, May & INDIA. ,The Governor•Generril eon use at Illienla,tin end all fiat MOANS! • he lately paid a visit to the Lawrence Asylum at • Kussowlie, with the state of which he appears to be well pleased. The I odiwpapers report his excelleuars I intention to leave Simla fur the capital in October, and to hold Durban at Meerut, Agra, Futteghur, and Cawnpore during his downward progress. There is no thing new or striking from Atlghanis tan, where the Angier and his brothers appear to be still threatening each other. Great satisfaction was expressed in the barber at Cabool when the Ameer's envoy to the British authorities at Pesha wur returned thence with a highly favourable report of the conlial reception that he had met with. Excepting the matter of the Bootan (says the Madras Atheneum) external affairs are almost un , provocative of remark, and we have but little to say about it, since nothing is known, save by a !rumour, of what Sir John Lawrence's intentions may be. The more we hear of the transaction which led us into a collision with that barbarous 111111 people the stronger becomes our conviction ' that it was a great mistake to send the mission to them at all, and we strongly suspect that those !charged with it by no means conducted themselves with that courtesy and prudence which should have I ruled their conduct, but were indeed themselves mainly responsible fur the illtreatnient which they • lexpenenced. CHINA. THE REPULSE OF _GORLION AT CHARG- CHOWFuo. The chief and almost only topic of political interest in China continues to be the Teepuig war, the operations at Chang-chow-foo occupying the most prominent place in public attention. Chang chow-foo is a city on the Grand Canal, and lies on the route between liangehow and Nanking, being not very far from the latter city. Next to Nanking, it is the most important city in the possession of the Tau/pings ; it is, indeed, considered more important, strategically speaking, than Nanking itself. It still holds out, and the attempts to ' assault it hitherto made by General Gordon and the Futae of Soochow have failed. Chung, the oom mander-in-chief of the Tamping, commands the place, and resists with much energy. Gordon, at latest advice., was pushing on regular engineering operations, and it is declared that the 'garrison must soon surrender. The Chinn Mail of ' the 13th May says, indeed, that something decisive would probably be done in a fortnight, as Upwards of a hundred thousand men are encamped about Chang-chow-foe, the place closely invested, every !gate guarded, so that d the city be not taken by assault, the garrison must eventually surrender for waist of food. It adds : " With the fall of Chang ! chow-foo the Taeping rebellion will be crushed, as Nankin is invested by Tsang Kwo-fan's forces and will soon be starved out. Otherplacces in rebel poe mission are of minor importance, and only one or two in number. We are not, therefore, surnised • to hear that Colonel Gordon intends to retire from the Imperial army after the fall of this city, dis banding, at the same time, the little force that has accompanied him through so many victories." It is stated that Sir IF. Bruce Will soon retuni to England, and that Sir Harry Parkas will sot for him in his abseuoe. There is no Pewit of importance from Japan. The Straits Times of Singapore says, in its impres sion of May 21: The fortnight has bees elderly howbeit is • eciansorsid Pout d view, as basis, dervelepod soesethisig approached to a cries. &ace the &pantry of last steamer, one Chimes averebast bee failed with Wittier anottaling to 730,000 dole., and sewed others bane gives way for assailer meant& Failures to • soweiderabile sunset had takaa phiee darts. the past two =oath% bat eves sethosted together, they weeny equalled those of the lest week.
