The second address of sympathy with Denmark is from Italy, a body of Italian citizens having specially united to con gratulate the Danes on their recent naval victory. " The heroic struggle unstained by Denmark with " inferior forces, and the manner in which, con " teary to every principle of civilization, she has " been attacked, have excited the sympathy of the " civilized nations of Europe, who admire the " valour and endurance of the brave Danes, and " cast shame upon our age for the dilatoriness by " which diplomacy opposes a contest so dispropor " tionate and yet so fierce. To-day the Danes have gained a victory over their oppressors. " The undersigned do not wish to allow this occa " sion to pass by without sending to brave Den " mark an address of sympathy, and a wish that " by fresh victories she may succeed in delivering " herself from their common enemy, and rouse " from their inaction those Great Powers whose " duty it is to maintain the independence and the " civilization of Europe." The address of the Netherlanders, as well as of the Italians, reflects rather in sorrow than in anger on the conduct of the neutral Powers, and especially of Eng land and Sweden, in not helping Den mark at the moment when help might have been effectually given. It is certainly very diffi cult for even the most ardent apologist of the Government to defend every step of the tortuous and undignified course it has taken on this ques tion. But if we cannot recall the past, the future, it may be urged, is still our own. If the crusade of arbitrary power is to be successful, we at least may wash our hands of all complicity with its sinister designs. If this lawless war of conquest is after all to be crowned by the dismemberment of the free State against which it was directed, we at least may be spared the ignominy of becoming the formal executioners of such an odious and fatal wiz DEPOTS.

THE unequal straggle the Danes have so nobly maintained against lawless but overwhelming violence will undoubtedly hereafter constitute a memorable chapter in the history of human freedom. When the excitement of distracting interests and the temporary confusion created by false issues have cleared away, the Austro- Prussian invasion of Denmark will appear in its true character, as an armed crusade against popular rights, national liberties, and the free con stitutional organization by which they are secured. It is more important, however, to note that this fundamental characteristic of the war, already sufficiently evident to those who have watched the struggle, is being rapidly recognised by all the world. The original pretexts of invasion have been, one after another, cynically repudiated even by their authors. The plea of relieving oppreased nationalities has deceived nobody except the Prussian Liberals, who might have been expected beat of all to understand its real value in the mouth of a political pirate and conspirator such as M. BISMARCK. Blinded by passion and preju dice, they have in an evil hour become the willing dupes and viztima of the very man who had scorn fully defied their power and trampled their con stitutional liberties under foot. The rest of the world would soon have interpreted most correctly M. BISMARCK'S sinister alacrity to draw the sword, apart from his frank declaration that the Liberal institutions of Denmark were the real ground of offence in the eyes of the German Powers, and that there never would be peace between Denmark and Germany until the Danish Monarch, by a coup d'Etat, or some equally decisive means, should assimilate the Government to that of his German neighbours—in • word, overturn the constitu tional system and become entirely despotic. This fundamental, more serious and permanent aspect of the struggle is one in which every nation worthy of the name has a direct interest, and already through the sure instinct of popular sym pathy it has been broadly recognised by every free people in Europe. Every such people can not but feel that the Danish cause is in the deepest and truest sense its own, that there is a " soli " darity " or community of interest between all free nations, and that this turbulent tumult of arbitrary power on the Danish State menaces the existence of freedom in every State not powerful enough to resist the combined attack of surround ing despots. We have already directed attention to the ardent addresses of sympathy which have been sent to the Danes from Switzerland, as well as to the efforts on their behalf made amongst that hardy and indomitable people. Yesterday our columns contained characteristic addresses of sympathy for the Danes from two other continental States, one the earliest and most strenuous champion of civil and religions liberty in continental Europe, the other the latest inheritor of the inestimable national blessings which genuine liberty confers. The first is from the Netherlands, the inhabitants of litretht having drawn up and sent through the Danish Miniater at the Hague a spirited and touching address to the Danish people. Holland is, we know, not now what it once was, but the address shows that the old spirit of freedom and love of independence still lives amongst the people. The citizens of Utrecht assure the Danes that although the Netherlands are no longer, as formerly, powerful enough to succour the oppressed with their fleets, they have not degenerated from the spirit that animated their ancestors, and like them are ready to pour forth money and blood in defending their liberties and independence against attack. This spirit has inspired them with the highest admiration for the valiant resistance which a small nation ha. displayed in making head with so much courage and self-denial against a vastly superior enemy. " We, a portion of the inhabitants of the Nether " lands, raise our voices to protest loudly against " the violence and the injustice which have been " exercised against Denmark by two powerful " nations, whose insolent pride, if not kept within " bounds, threatens to destroy the existence of " every small state. We rejoice, brave Danes, " to perceive that, notwithstanding your small " number., you have determined to defend your " independence and your free form of government "at any risk that you have a Prince who does " not desire to depart from the constitution to " which he has sworn, and who has proclaimed "loudly that he desires to be • free King over a " free people. Receive this address, which has " been voted by a great number of our country " men, as a homage rendered to the noble and " courageous conduct of which you have given " proof in an epoch so critical to your country." This is welcome language, worthy of the cordial sympathy that should exist between nations really independent and really free. While the Kingdom of the Netherlands is undoubtedly of late years of diminished importance in the system of European States, it may yet have once more an important part to play in helping to preserve the balance of power on the aide of liberty. And in any cue it ebe Court. BALMORLL, MAT 25. The Queen, with the Prineeea Leiningen, and Princes' Helena, went oat in the morning.

GORDON.-SMRAL ENGLISH OFFICERS PRD3O We have received advice. from Hong Hong to April 15. The Taeping rebellion is still the chief subject of interest in china. In the last overland summary the surrender of Li-yang and Kintang was announced. It appears that the statement that the latter city bad surrendered was premature. The garrison had expressed their intention and willing ness to surrender, but the imperialist forces who were to have kept Chang-chow-too in check and its garrison employed while Gordon operated against Kintang, fell back upon Woosib three days before Kintang was attacked. That city was therefore strongly reinforced from Chang-chow-foo very shortly before Colonel Gordon appeared in front of it. The rebel force thus thrown into a city which was about to have surrendered consisted of men from the Two Kwang (Kwang-tang and Kwangai), and are described as " the most hardened" of all the Taeping troops. The Overland China Mail thus records two de cided disasters in Colonel Gordon's campaign : After breeching the wells of Kintang on March 20, the disciplined force made three attempts to carry the place by amult, all of which failed owing to the determined nature of the resistance, which surpassed that formerly expe rienced at Taitem. Up to the moment of smutting no show of opposition was made, but when the smperialiste reached the crest of the breach the most desperate oppo sition was encountered, and Colonel Gordon received • wound in the leg which is not yet enfliciantly healed tamable him to walk about. Major Kirkham and Brown led the next two assaults respectively, and were both wounded, though not fatally, as the latest accounts prove. The weather coming on boisterous and rainy, Gordon desisted from the attack ; an attempt was made to surround his force during the night, but without success, and on the following day he retired to Li-yang, which he garrisoned strongly, and then marched north-eastward to operate against a rebel force which he learned was in the field be tween Kiang-yin, the Yang-tare, and Chance. This force is composed chiefly of men from the South of China, and belonging to the original rebel stock. Fifteen thousand of them are together and are hemmed is between the three points named, having proceeded from Chaarchow-foo when that city clewed to be menaced by the imperialists about sixteen days ago, and shortly before the repulse et Kintaog. The leaders of this force intended to take Klein-yin and Charm, as stated in • proclamation firmed by Fa Wang, alias "Cockeye," after which they proposed to move upon Soonbow and Shaoghae. Failing in this design, owing to Gordon's un expeeted appearance, this body of rebels tried to return to Chang-chow•foo, but found their retreat eat off. Gordon's men come upon them thirty li (ten miles) south of Kiang yin, and, for two days, about 300 imperible drove them about the country. The retreating rebel force numbered about 3,000; but, being badly armed, they made no attempt to Mod. Finding that the line of retreat was lir the direction of country already rescued from Taeping rule, Gordon changed his front and drove them upon Kiang-yin. Moving to his left flank, therefore, Gordon, with 1,000 infantry, me off the Taeping retreat in the *bite. tionable direction and bad the rebels again in his front on March 29. Being himself unable to leave his chop, he placed in command of the force two of his best of (Howard and Rhode). He trusted them from hating seen their oon dath against the rebels on the previous day, when 2,000 of the latter retreated before 300 of Gordon's contingent. He himself moved in his boat to the village the rebels were in, is order to give some assistance with the artillery. This was on the morning of the 30th. On reaching the village nothing was to be seen or heard of the infantry, and, after advancing to within 800 yards of the plain, Colonel Gordon retired. Oa reaching the imperial camp he found the greatest confusion prevailing. it appeared that the infantry had advanced without any reserve, sad with either flank entirely unprotected. Oa reaching • sort of breast-work they halted for an hour, when the rebels Game mood about them and they broke. The following casualties mark the repulse which then took place :—(apt. Gibbon, wounded and taken prisoner ; Captain Schinkoff, the same—einoe seen dead and cut open ; Lieutenant Pratt, seen to have been speared by the rebels, supposed to have been killed ; Lieutenants Polkson, Hughes, and Graves, and Captain Dowling, also wounded and made prisoners, besides from 150 to 200 men with their arms. Gordon, at the date of the last advices (April 4) was halting shoat 40 lite the north of Woosih. His wooed will require a few days' more in order to be well, after which he is likely to see his own plans properly carried out. The rebels are in a position from which it is next to impossible they ass move, and they must soon be short of provisions, Quieten is garrisoned by Carlow's foam of dis ciplined Chinese, smiths fall of K ia-shing, which, fortunately enough, had is the meantime bests takes by the imperial General Ching, will release a force for operative in the rear of the rebels, while assistance is expected frum Ting Kiro faa's army at Nankiog. Tho China Mail, which is a bitter opponent of the Taepings, says it is not likely that the lives of the prisoners have been spared ; the cruelties per petrated upon the villagers, and where neither age nor sex was respected, lead one to apprehend the wont. "In one village a girl was found dead with her hands tied behind her back, her breasts cut off, and her middle split up." So writes a correspon dent from the camp, and he adds that small chil. dren lay about in every direction with their throats cut. It seems that there is a force of from 30,000 to 40,000 of the original rebels still in the field. They are moetly men from the south of China. The chief rebel cities in the north are Nanking, which is partially blockaded ; Chew-yong ; Tungyan, Cluing-chow-too, which is still threatened ; and Kintang. In the south, since the fall of Hang chow, See-mun, and Raining, the principal places remaining in their hands are Cha-ching, Woo chow-fo, and Tungku. The imperialist occupation of Yih-sing and Li-tang cuts the communication between north and south, and renders the rebel cause rather precarious. In addition to this the Taepings in Colonel Gordon's neighbourhood are getting short of ammunition, since the supplies viL Fooshan have been intercepted. Hangchow wee taken on the 31st March by the Franco. Chinese contingent under General D'aigabelle. I. 411 Nltt :11 1 if the... C ite burghers who re- dully the most for- CHINA.

The Times believes that, so far from the Danes having consented to the arrangement announced by the continental telegrams, " it is very difficult to make them consent to anything at all, however moderate," and that if any power were to urge the surrender of part of Sleawig at the present moment the discussion would be put an end to at once by the representative of Denmark. Our contempo- rary therefore cannot believe that the business of the conference to-day will be of the nature ex pected, and fears that the plenipotentiaries must allay a good many suspicions and much animosity before they can bring the belligerents to a peaceful division, on reasonable principles, of a territory which they both claim. " The Germans have on their side military strength and the support of a majority of the population of the duchies ; they also derive a certain influence from the alleged hereditary rights of the Prince of Auguatenburg. They believe that they may do what they like with out fear of exciting more than the inactive indigna tion of England, and, having at heart no more re spect for nationality in Sleawig than in Poland or PIOIIABLIL lICNDAY.

(mod ova oivir coanzeroxolar.) PARIS, FRIDAY Evistso. This has been a glorious session for the deputies in the point of view of pay. In consequence of , the repeated prolongations, extending the ordinary constitutional duration of the session from three months to seven, every deputy will have received the handsome sum of 17,500 fr. According to rumours, which produced a bad effect at the Bourse and find an echo in the even ing papers, the prospects of the conference are less promising than they were thought to be yesterday. The Germans mean to make a great stand about Kiel and Rendsburg as Federal fortresses, and contend that if Hol stein and Southern Skew* are to become purely German territory, as the arrangement pro poses, neither England nor any power has a right to make conditions as to the use that may be made of any of the ports. Although the Pays gave it to be understood yesterday that France was agreed with England upon this point, some of the papers now affect to believe it impossible that Eng land's desire to maintain her preponderance in the Baltic and prevent Germany from having a navy, can be encouraged. The Nation goes so far as to say that this new question threatens to "'compro mise the efforts made by diplomacy to maintain peace."

BANQUET TO THE JUDGES. Last evening the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained her Majesty's judges at a banquet in the Egyptian-ball, Mansion-hones. There wee a very numerous party, and the Lord Mayor having given the usual loyal toasts, proposed "The Army and Navy and Volunteers." This toast was responded to by Sir John Burgoyne on the part of the army, by Admiral Robinson on the part of the navy, and by Mr. Alderman Rose on that of the volun. teen. The next toast wee that of "The House of Lords," coupled with the name of Lord Wensleydale, who in returning thanks expressed the high gratificatioo he felt at all times in obeying the summons of the Lord Mayor to be present at the banquet which the civic hoe. pliably provided for her Majesty's judges. Fifty years ago, as a humble bar ri ster. he had the honour to be the legal adviser to the City of London, and he had ever since that period entertained the highest respect for the institutions over which the Lord Mayor presided. The Lord Mayor next gave "The health of her Majesty's Judges," coupled with the name of Chief Justice Erie, who, be said, was warmly respected by all without the circle of the bench and the bar, and beloved by all within it. The Lord Chief Justice Erie, in sekoowledgiog the compliment, said he fully appreciated, in common with Lord Wensleydale, the high privilege conferred upon him and the profession to which he belonged in being invited tot partake of the municipal hospitality. There was no class in this conatry from whom the judges had more at tention, consideration, and valuable sesistanos, than from the corporation of the City of London, and he was fully persuaded that it was an institution deserving of ell the honour and renown which attached to it. As to the judges, they were well aware of their short•oomings, but they were else aware of the indulgent and considerate manner in which those short comings weretreated by the general community. The Lord Mayot then gave "The House of Commons, and the Lord Advocate," and the toast having been duly acknowledged,_ the Lord Justios Turner proposed " The health of the Lord Mayer," who briefly returned titian, and introduced the toast f " The Bar of England and the AttoroeLGi nsa iseraL" The Atto -Oeoeral expressed his 111C1CDOW and the Mayor proposed " the denims of the City of Loudon and Sir Robert Carden." This toast was warmly responded to, and was fol lowed by " The Sheriff' • of Loud= and Middlesex," coupled with the same of Mr. Sheriff Nimes and "The Stipendiary Magistrates, with Mr. Henry, of Rai Bow.strset Police-court." Sir Hamilton Seymour proposed the health of the Lady Marxism ; and the toast having been cordially responded to, the party separated. The musical arrange ments were wider the able and experienced direction of Mr. J. L. Hatton, who was assisted by Madame Weiss, Miss Poole (both admirable and favourite singers oe then nos sine), and Mr. Chaplin Henry. The bead of the Coldetreem Guards was in attendance under the direction of Mr. A. F. Godfrey. The position of toastmaster was filled by Mr. Harker. Mr. Morritt proposes to try his fortune again in opposition to the m►lvtax, and on the 24th of next math will move, "That in case of any modification of the iodi sed taxation of this counts 7 the excise on malt requires eonsideratios." The necessity for further bridge facilities for the increasing traffic of the City is every day more severely felt. " Some years back," rays the Tina, " negotiations were entered into far the purchase of Southwark-bridge, with the view of throwing it open, bat the price demanded 300,0001.—was thought too high.

The paeml public wen admitted to the hall at 2 o'clock, but our reporter was informed that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales paid • visit to the show at halt-put 12, and was conducted over the bedding by the directees. His royal highness exhibits several file dogs in different breeds, some of which obtained prises. The exhibition will not close until Wednesday next. There were • considerable number of vi hors yesterday, bat at no time was there the slightest crowding or inconvenience experienced. The larger dogs are chained in their kennel', which are erected down the whole length of the hall, the enclosures containing the spaniel' being pieced across it at the sad. During the whole of the morning the judges were occupied in going round the different compartments, and noting the dogs con sidered worthy of prizes. Until the judges had performed this duty, the names of the owners of the animals were Z t .n ee:e . t. The bull dogs and fancy pet dogs are in the the latter being • special attraction so the name roes ladies who visited the show in the cosine of the after. noon Altogether there are something over I,oou dogs of all some and description,, from the enormous St. Bernard and Newfoundland and the deep-mouthed English blood. hound to the tiniest little ICieg Charles's spaniel we ever saw. The number entered is considerably leas than last year, but the judges are of opinion that on the whole the show is much finer in quality, espe cia lly in sporting dogs and there are more packs of hounds exhibited that year. There is also an excellent show of toy dogs in cages, and of English sporting dogs, the first prize in pointers being taken by Mr. John Swan's Peter, aged three yam, certainly a very beautiful mime' of the clam. There are 34 greybouode, but they did not attract so much attention ae some other cisme& The show of pointers is especially fine, there being no less than 94 entries. There is no black. and-tan setter bitch exhibited which is con sidered worthy of the first prize, but Mr. Charles Fairclough's Bell, 4 years old, carries off the second prize. The retrimersomns out very strong, but the prizes had not been declared when we left, which was the ease with several other dowse. There was a really wonderful show of spaniel., Clambers, and amough them a very beautiful animal Fop, exhibited by Lord Berner", was much admired, as was Er. John Cole's bitch Hag. But after all it was the larger de scription of dogs, the Newfouodlands, bloodhounds, deer. hounds, mastiffs, and watchdogs of all kinds, which at. Started most attention sad criticism. There are 14 specimens of the English mastiff exhibited. We believe, however, that it was not coosideved by the judges that as a whole the present show of nisetiffs was above an average oue, although there were undoubtedly some specimeas of s very superior quality. Mote attention should be paid by brooders to breed ing doge with large head with fiat muzzle, the ears trued and pendnloua,aod the chest and loins broad, the mat being short. One or two of the dogs exhibited in this class really bad none of the best features of the breed. In several instances prohibitory prices from 1001. to 5001. were attached to the numbers. The first prize was carried off by Mr. Edger Han. bury'. Duchess, 3 years 2 mouths old ; Mr. T. 11. V. Lukey's Counter, bj years, obtained the second ; end the game gentleman s Governor, 3 years the third. These were all beautiful animals, and well worthy of the distioction whiuh they attained. The foreign maniffs were an extra ordinary lot of powerful doge, several of them being evi dently of a very formidable character. In this clan the first prize was carried off by Lion, • dog worthy of the name, the property of Captain J. A. Pedder. This enor. mous animal attracted the more attention from the fact that be is only sixteen months old. An Indian mastiff, Rabnee, belonging to his Royal Higbee= the Prince of Wales, earned off the second prize ; and Mr. C. Itocoaat's Liebman, the third. There are 19 'stria in Meant St. Bernard dogs, some of which, particularly • pair called Moak and Nun, belonging to Mr. Wyse Forquaud, are of great beauty, while in Newfound. leads the number of entries is about 30, by tar the best dog in the set being Cabot, aged 6 years, exhibited by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This appeared to be rea lly the only th ough-bred dog in the clam, and he had not • white hair upon him. The second prize is tar ried off by Mr. Stower's Rover, 3 years and 6 months old. and the third by Mr. Avery's Carlo, a very beautiful animaL Again, in foreign hounds, the Prince of Wales came off • victor, carrying off the first prize for a kangaroo greyhound dog. Miss Charlotte Carton's Bob, a Rundan retriever, pined the second prize. And now we corn* to a elms of dogs eminently beautiful, and the delineation of which het formed the subject of one of the masterpieces of Sir Edwin Leedseer—we mean the English bloodhound. Of this truly beautiful animal the exhibition was, we think, unique. Every animal exhibited is more or lees beautiful, the lUD prize being wort m h , i4l awarded to Mr. J. A. Gower's Druid, a magnificent an and the mooed to the Rev. C. Stratioa's Leath.
