Tux reports which reach us daily from Sonder borg tell orly too plainly what must at no distant date be the result of the Prussian operations before DilppeL These are not days, if ever there were such, when the combination of valour and fortitude in a just cause is sufficient to ensure success ; and it is easy to see that if the conflict continues the over-matched Danes must before long lose the position they have hitherto so worthily defended. From the time that Marshal WRANGEL began to press the siege of Duppel in regular form the end has been seen to be inevitable, although its date is still uncertain. The German trenches are creeping slowly and surely towards the forts and redoubts on Duppel Hill amid a storm of shot which the Daniah gunners vainly direct upon the advancing foe. The superior numbers and mili tary resources of the Prussians, joined to the ordinary advantage of the attack over the defence, are telling upon the Danish position. Our Special Correspondent, writing from the scene of the con flict, remarks :—" Extreme fatigue begins to " weaken the gallant army of Denmark. Officers " and men have been without rest for many days. " They are still resolved upon fighting to the last, "if so ordered. But Europe must not expect " too much." Let it be remembered that for two months fifteen thousand Danes, 'W armed as compared with the Germans, have held their ground by mere bravery against five times that number of the enemy. During that time they have done such wonders as are only accomplished by men who feel that they are fighting for country and home : but, as before at the Dannewirke, they are exhausted by fatigue and fairly overborne. Their artillery is not sufficiently powerful to silence the formidable rifle guns of the Prussian, and they themselves are not strong enough to sally out and destroy the breaching batteries of the enemy. Alt that is left for them is quietly to receive the mur derous fire of their assailants until the latter shall attempt to storm their works, and thus possibly restore to valour once more, and for a moment, that decisive superiority which the progress of the mili tary art tends more and more to give to science and material resources. We were told early in the week that the besiegers had opened fire from their third parallel : it is now stated that on Wednesday night four companies of Prussian infantry drove the Danish outposts behind their works, within a hundred yards of which the besiegers enteenched themselves. It is thus rev plain that the critical moment will not be much longer delayed. It is agreed on all hands that the attempt to storm Dtippel will cause ages of blood to flow. The Danish army, though small, defends a lip, not more than a mile and a quarter long ; but that Marshal WRANGEL will lavish life in the endeavour to take the position is certain to be expected. Hitherto l•`s army baa not shone by conspicuous valour, his greatest advantages having been due to the supe riority of his artillery. The credit of Prussia in Europe, the pretersions of Prussia in Germany, and the status which the Prussian Government seeks to give to the military class in society and in the State, are all at stake in this conflict. The Prussian battalions will therefore be hurled with relentless impetuosity against the redoubt& at DuppeL But it does not follow that the men will share the ardour of their commander, or take ac count of the necessities and enter into the feelings of their Government. When the critical moment comes, and the Prussian storming columns have to advance, unaided by the artillery which has hitherto been so effective, the Danes will no doubt give as good an account of them as they did on Easter Monday. Still we cannot be sure of the result. While, however, the contest is still impending, we may ask once more why it should take place I We know how the armistice, which must be one of the first works of the Conference, has been averted. The Conference was to have been opened last Tuesday. The Danish Plenipotentiaries have been waiting here • week. England and France were ready, but the Austrians and Prunians de manded delay. In deference to German require ments, we had given up, and made the Danes give up also, the negotiations of 1851-52 as the basis of the Conference. We thus left it open to any of the parties to recommend a departure from the Treaty of London, deny the rights of King Ctimarratr, and advocate the pretenaions of Prince Fiurnr.lucs of Avorsreserso. It might have been supposed that, after this,A ustria and Prussia would have been prepared at once to take their places in the Con ference. Bat excuses were made ;it was said that the Federal Diet had not had time to consider the communication by which it had been invited to send a representative to the Conference. There was, of course, nothing real in this pretence. The Conference might have been held at first with or without the Plenipotentiary of the Diet. The Protocol would have been left open to late corners, and the first business at the Conference was a TUE EXP. factures —B. Roberts and W. W. W. raellsounas. Buse; susgeons—T. auburn, J.

SATURDAY EVENING, AP: matter which the belligereek might have settled, with the moistens* of Fiume and England as mediators, without the comet ot the Dist. The objection to the day named originated with the Prussian Government, and was founded on its desire to obtain for Marshal WRAiraiL another week in which to prosecute his bloody work, and snatch if possible a little much-needed renown. The German demands were conceded by our Government as usual, and the meeting of the Conference wee postponed from the 12th to the 20th instant. That the delay was not neoes sary is further shown by what has taken place at Frankfort. The day before yesterday the Federal Diet met, and agreed to send a representative to the Conference, and appointed Baron Bauer its plenipotentiary at that assembly. Thus all the Powers have nominated their Ministers to the Conference, all barriers in the form of terms of admission, or basis of negotiations have been I thrown down, and nothing but the delay obtained on false pretences by Austria and Prursia hinders the conclusion of an armistice. Now, however, that affairs have reached this point, the Prussians have no excuse which will avail in the Court of European opinion for carrying on the war another minute, and every man, whether Dane or German, who may fall by Marshal WRANGEL% orders will be the victim of a fell murderous intent. We simply markthis fast for future use in dealing with the Prussian Government, being of course, aware that in showing how flagrantly M. BISMARCK is outraging the moral sense of mankind, we old, heighten the triumphs in which he and his master delight, and innocent of the folly of supposing either of them accessible to the voice of reason and justice when it speaks in tones leas authoritative than those of rifled cannon. THE PRESENTATION OF ADDRESSES TO GENERAL GARIBALDL It is to be hoped that no attempt will be made to read, ►t the tame of oreeentatioo, the addresses which are to be presented to General Garibaldi at the Crystal Palace ow Monday, but that they will be " taken an reed." Supposing that each sadism occupies five minutes only, yet intimation has been received of a number sufficient to de tain the general until nearly midnight if the deputations should be indiscreet enough to seek to read them.

The approaching opening of the conference gives increased activity to the besieging army. The Prussians are said to fear an armistice, and they are consequently most anions to carry the place before they are stopped in their operations. They have placed in battery 42 pieces of cannon in the second parallel, and are extending their works with great energy. At Berlin great preparations are being made. Marshal Wrangel has received fresh orders and reinforcements. The 21st Brigade of the Prussian army, composed of the 16th and 20th Regiments, are to leave immediately for Diippel, and others have been placed on a war footing. A letter from Copenhagen in the National Gazette of Berlin states that the Danish infantry is to be again increased by 6,500 men from the enrol ment of those whom the drawing had exempted in 1857 and 1858. Those men, all of whom are from 30 to 35 years of age, are to join their corps as soon as possible. In consequence of this resolution four new schools of drill have been formed : one at Copenhagen, for 3,000 men ; another at Odense., for 1,200 ; a third at Nyborg, for 700 ; and a fourth at the Castle of Kronborg, near Elsinore, for the same number. The Danebrog iron-clad is to accompany the line-of-battle ship Frederic VI. into the German Ocean. Those two vessels are intended to combat the Austrian squadron which left Lisbon about a fortnight sum. The Frederic VI. carries 84 guns and sails remarkably well, but she is not iron clad. The Danebrog is the most formidable vessel in the Danish navy ; she carries two 140-pounder Arm strong guns and 10 60-pounder rifled cannon. (RIVIIDeII TZLIGILAM.) THE SIEGE OF DIIPPEL. COPENHAGEN, Aram 15, 3.15 P.m. Last night the bombardment of the Thippel works and our positions on the Island of Alien was weaker, but it was continued with great vigour at daybreak. Our loss was inconsiderable. The enemy has again set fire to some farms on the Island of Alsen. THE MEXICAN DEBT. PARIS, Arm 16. _ _ The lifoltileur of this morning publishes a decree of the Emperor Maximilian, creating a committee at Paris, deputed to form • great book of the foreign public debt of Mexico. Rela tive to the Mexican loan of 200 million francs, 6,600,000 fr. in Six per Cent. Rente will be in scribed in this book to the credit of tho French government, who will give in exchange a receipt for 66 millions francs applicable to the diplomatic convention of the 10th April. Another decree of the Emperor of Mexico orders that twenty half-yearly coupons, dae to the Mexican bondholders, are to be consolidated into new three per cent stock, at an issuing price of 60 stock for each 1001. coupons. The Constittilionnet of this morning publishes the following telegram : BERLIN, APRIL 15. Two war steamers, with transports, flying the English flag, have entered the bay of Hoerupp, Island of Aleen. THE BANK OF BURMA. BT. PITERSBURG, Arita 16. The Bank of Russia has lowered itsrste of dis count on three-months' bills of exchange on St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Riga, to 5 per cent., and on six-months' bills and advances on goods and securities to 5i per cent. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (molt cm& cora ooaszeromorr.) PARIS, FRIDAY ETKIIIIIG. In the Corps Legislatif yesterday, K Picard supported the amendment for reducing the annual contingent of recruits from 100,000 to 80,000. The bill for 100,000 men was voted by a majority of 243 against 15. M. Thiers voted with the majo rity ; K Berryer was absent. Here is the list of the minority :—MM. Carnot, Darimon, Dorian, Jules Fevre, Garnier-Pagbs, Glais-Bizoin, Hdoon, Le Vicomte Lanjuinais, Magnin, Marie, Le Due de Marmier, 011ivier, Pelletan, Picard, and Jules Simon. There were considerable oscillations at the Bourse to-day. The rise during the week led to heavy sales to realise profits. The Bears attempt to trade upon the monetary situation, which they say is bad, especially in England, for the Bank of France returns are better than were expected ; but as Consols come without change, these suggestions do little to counteract the movement here, which is decidedly upwards. Rente, however, after being quoted at 66fr. 80c., closed at 66fr. 60c., the lowest price of the day, with a fall of 10c. Mobilier fluctuated between 1,187 fr. and 1,1641 r., closing at 1,1831 r. 75c., with a rise of Gfr. 25c. Railway shares remain very steady. Some outside business has already been done in the Mexican loan at a premium. When the Spahis were about to leave Paris, the Emperor, wishing to give personally a proof of his good feeling, informed them that fifty places would be at their disposal in the Imperial Guard. Forty of the Algerians selected the Zouaves, a preference which may be readily conceived ; almost all the others requested to enter the cavalry. One alone decided on forming part of the Grenadiers of the Guard, and he will doubtless be the tint Mussul man that has ever mounted a bear-skin cap. " Au idea is in contemplation," says the Diritto of Turin, "to open a subscription in Italy, to have • full length portrait of Garibaldi painted, to send as • present to England. A committee which has been appointed ha• ap plied to one of the first Italian artiste to nedsrtake the work. At the bead of the committee are MM. Cattanem Ferrari, and iforaini, deputies ; Garr's', Nimess% Bar isal, Gtirolt, &a" THE LATIVIS WINKING VIRGIN.—The Comets dells MareAt of Aomori states that • few evenings sec the parish priest of Matelica, near Macerate, while giving the beealictio to the people assembled in the church, suddenly exclaimed, " A miracle!" and pointed to th e pi c t ure of the Madonna, the eyes of which appeared to roll. The people saw and believed, the news spread. and crowds hastened to the church to witneu the miracle, when the district judge arrived with a police form sad took for cible possession of the picture. trpoo examination it was found that solder's web covered the eye' sod that the Mu slim was produced by the draught roused by the lighted candles, which made the web move. The popular*, however mow outrageous, • scuttle mooed, and the uPtels of the National Onaid, in endesvouriug to quell the tumult, re ceived • blow on his heed with • bludgeoe. In consequence of this, the priest sad several of the rioters ware arrested sad are now under trial. TRIALS OF THE ARMSTRONG AND WHITWORTH GUNS. ' The trials, which have been continued during the week, have been confined entirely to ascertaining the range and accuracy of the three field guns ex perimented with from the first, at elevations from 2 to 6 degrees, and have resulted generally in main taining the same relative position of the guns. The three guns have now fired 336 rounds ; they have been cleaned, examined, and an impression in gotta percha taken of their bores, and, we believe, without the least sign of a flaw or injury of any kind as yet. They are, however, doomed to ultimate destruction, as it is part of the pro gramme to continue firing them until they are all rendered unserviceable. This, indeed, forms a part of the trials, which is looked forward to with the greatest cariosity, as it will go far to settle the vexed question of coils versus steel cast and hammered. This event will probably not come off for at least a fortnight. On Monday the strong stockades are to be fired at from 900 yards, and on Tuesday the guns are to undergo the ordeal of rapid firing. LORD ROBERT MONTAGU AND THE MALT TAX AGITATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EMIRS. Bra,—ln the debate on the malt tax question, last night, Lord Robert Moulage is reported to have said, " They all knew how the agitatiou had been got up. It had been got op in London by those whose business it was to get up agitations, sad who were well skilled in the science, for • science it wee." On public ponds and in justice to the Central Anti-Malt Tax Association, of which I am the secretary, I trust you will allow me to give that statement a public ooetradietion. As I am the only person in Lou lon connected in any way whatever with the association which has organised the present opposition to the malt tax, I am in a position to give the noble lord's assertion a most positive denial. The agitation originated in a public meeting of ten►nt farmers in Maidstone 12 months ago, before I had anything to do with it, and has spontaneously extended to upwards of 30 counties; and personally allow me to say that I did not go to the agitation—the agitation came to me. Lord Robert has been fans to face with his constituents on this question, very mans of whom take a deep and earnest interest in it, sod have liberally contributed their money towards it. Censure has been thrown oo the malt tin repealan for the mode adopted of taking the opinion of the house last night. For that my usociatiou is in no way responsible, as our desire has always been to take the non of the Hone of Commons upon an abstract resolution prior to the budget, a mode of procedure which has been so successful in several instances ; but a private meeting of some 80 members of parliament determined otherwise. Lord Robert Montagu having bad the power and the will to make a statement where it could on be &amend, I trust to your sense of fair play to give this denial a place in your valuable oolumas.— I am, Ac., A.

From 10 o'clock in the morning n t h] 2 o'clock in the afternoon vast numbers of people flocked tu th e Lewes-kedge and Victoria stations of the Crystal Palace Railway, and the scene dozing a considerable part of that time was that presented on the ace. sloe of popular fetes at Sydeoham so for se ambers went ; but the visitors were of the ch. who parades the higher-priced and more select days.

Hartwell., Potter, Cromer, Davis, Odgers, and Applegarth, of the Working Yen's Committee, left Stafford Hones in Mr. Plymsoll's private carriages on a ►fait to the brewery of Mmes. Barclay sad Perkins, at Bankaide. The general on his arrival was reoeived by the member, of the firm and conducted over the whole of the ex. tenrive premises, the various processes of the art and mystery of brewing being explaieed to him by Mr. Perkins, who speaks Italian fluently. The general appeared delighted and astonished at the rut extent of the works and the machi• nary. After inspecting the warehouses and cellars, the general proceeded to the stables, which are of vast extent, and where several hundred horses are accommodated. A magnificent horse named Baby, standing upwards of li hands high, was much admired by the primal, sad at the request of the master of the stables, and amidst the chews of the stablemen, of whom there are 30, be re-christened the animal " Garibaldi," by which name it will henceforth be knows. The general was then conducted to one of the large warehouse, which had been tastefully fitted up for the occasion, and around the floor and galleries of which the whole of the workmen were arranged, and in the centre was a large hogshead, on the top of which stood several tankards of " Barclay's stout." The cheering of the men on the entry of the general was of the mat enthusiastic description, and again and again repeated. A tankard of stout having been heeded to the general, he drank to the healths of the workmen present He said he was a working-man himself—be had worked hard for freedom. (Loud cheers.) He was pleased and happy teems amongst unties men. (Cheers.) Mr. Plymsall then proposed the health of Garibaldi, which was drunk with deafening cheers. The general then walked round the yards of the establishment, which were filled with the wives and children of the workmen, and bad some diffi. oulty in getting aloe; from the pressure of the females to obtain the gratification of aliaking big hand. The general, however, accommodated all who could get near him, at the same time speaking several kind words to the children. After a stay of about an hour, the general and his attendants left, having thanked the members of the firm for the courtesy shown to him. The visit being a private one, few except those con sulted with the establishment being swan of the intended honour, there were not many perAoos assembled about the brewery on his arrival. He bad not been there long, how ever, before the new, flew round the neighbourhood, and on his leaving several thousand persons hoed the streets ado: east, by whom be was enthustutically received. There were a few police-constables only on duty, under the orders of Mr. Superintendent Branford, and Inspector Heed, of the 11 division. The general returned to Stafford House at 10 o'clock, where several deputations were awaiting him. He left again shortly after 12 o'clock for t►e Crystal Palace.

This despatch was written with the purpose of explaining to the governor of the Cape the altered relation of the State to the church in the eoloniee mused by the de cision of the Privy Council in the case of Long v. the Bishop of Capetown." The upshot of the despatch. which was written early in February, as that colonial synods should revise their past acts, and expunge from them everything that seems to assert a coercive jurisdiction. The Duke of New castle seems to intimate that synods are legal if they ex prosily recognise the fact that they have no authority over those who disclaim their jurisdiction, and he thinks this defect may be remedied by the bishops refusing to confer holy orders on an declining to acknowledge th e authority of the synod.
