The strong interest which the nation has been accustomed to take in the domestic happiness of the Royal Family, and the especial and increasing :;i - orit AU her Royal Ifighness the frineeta c. WALLS has won for herself, assures us that the joy with which the happy event announced this morning has tilled the Royal Circle will be shared by the whole people. The incidents of the delivery were in harmony with the event. It is satisfactory to know that the PrtiNcns was not called to pass through a protracted and painful crisis. Her ROYAL HIGHNESS was sharing the amusement of her husband on the ice at Virginia Water for several hours yesterday, and only re ... turned to Frogmore with her ladies a few hours before she became a mother. The best wishes of . the nation will attend the PRINCESS during her temporary seclusion. Wm! all sober statesmen the absorbing pies tion of the hour is, How can the peace of Europe be preserved ? For the sake of that 'paramount interest the chief Powers of Europe have made great sacrifices, and imposed severe restraints upon themselves during the past year. To avert a great war they have permitted in Poland the execution of an atrocious policy, which will ever remain a blot on the nineteenth century, and I which it Wf4 certainly in their power to arrest. The fear of war has led us to decline a proposal based on great and generous ideas—to convoke a Congress for devising the means of satisfying the aspirations of peoples. But after all the endeavours of statesmen we seem no nearer the end than ever. We no longer discuss the possibilities of war, but anxiously inquire how it is to be avoided. All the solicitude which the Great Powers have shown for the preservation of peace seems only to have inflamed the presumption of States and peoples whose position imposes on them a minimum of responsibility. It appears to be generally believed at Dresden, Carlaruhe, and Gotha that since so much has been tolerated, so much forborne for the sake of peace, any aggression may be attempted, because none will be resented. If there are left in Germany any persons of influence capable of calm deliberation, we may remind them that much as the leading Powers desire peace it does not rest with them to guarantee its continuance. They will do all they can to prevent war, but if the Germans, intoxicated with national vanity, and trusting to their numbers, are bent on carrying out the work of aggression which they have began in Denmark, then of a certainty we are on the eve of • great European war. For in struggling for national ex istence Denmark will not want allies. The two great German Powers should know very well what must be the consequences of any attempt to dismember a European State on the principles of the National Vere in. To either of them the application of those principles would be fatal. And they would be applied. Bureaucrats with despotic instincts may dream of directing the tide of revolutionary passions, but as surely as they evoke those passions they will be their first victims. This is plain to all impartial observers. The King of PRUSSIA is the last monarch in Europe who should permit his Minis ters to stimulate popular passions. Yet it appears this is what some of them are doing. The Minister of War, General Von RooN, occu pies a position which should teach him prudence. Nevertheless, in the midst of the present crisis, only a week ago to-day, he permitted himself to write to some persona at Halle, in a letter which be gave them permission to publish :—" It is no " longer doubtful for me that a part of the army " and navy will probably have to make at an " early day a winter campaign, which will per haps be bloody." Further on he says : " Prussia, such is my conviction, is on the " threshold of grand decisions. It is not only • " local straggle for a special object, but the whole " political future of Prussia, which is in question." These words cast a lurid light over the pro.. spode of the opening year. They acquire significance from their close resemblance to the words spoken by M. DE BISMAkeil several months ago, in which be said that Prussia THE EXP=M,' SATI7RDiT 4 E'VEOiie, JANUA had reason to be dissatiafied with her international situation, and that she must work out her destiny by fin and steel. It is true that M. DE BISMARCK said this when it would have been almost impos- ' sible is Prue& te get up a war, and his words were pealed over as the mere indiscretion of an uneasy politician striving for importance. But does M. DE Buniszcs agree now with General VON RODE I Does he sanction the appeals made in his letter? And if so, how can he reconcile them with the peaceful professions made diplomatically in the name of the Prussian Government t We fear that moat dangerous illusions prevail at Berlin. Prussia is not the Rhine Power most skilful in acquiring territory at the expense of its neigh bours. Prussia has not the art of manipulating the forces of "the Revolution." Prussia risks more than any other European State in a war of ambition such as General Vow BOON forebodes. Even now it may not be too late to return to the old principles of established govern ments—respect for treaties, and the indepen dence of States. But certainly in no other way can the peace of Europe be preserved. The first shot fired in Schleswig will be the signal for a general scramble of kings and peoples ; and who will undertake to lead Prussia through such a crisis ? BIRTH OF A PRINCE.

The persons arrested on the charge of conspiracy to antaaainate the Emperor are not, it appears, all Italians. There is a Belgian among them. The police had been on the watch for several days past, but delayed arresting until more information could 'be obtained. The arrests took place in the Rue Sourdiere, not far from the Boulevard des Italians ; and the report goes that an attempt was to have been made at the Opera Comique or in the Theatre of the Porte St. Martin. As the Emperor goes publicly to the Bois de Boulogne to enjoy skating, and is consequently exposed, the Prefect of Police very properly judged it was not safe to wait any longer. It is said that papers of some importance, as well as Orsini shells, have been found with the prisoners, one of whom was formerly in the Garibaldian corps. The authorities were actively engaged in taking down the declarations of the prisoners, who are con fined at Mazes. AMERICA.

Mobile despatches state that the two white regi ments sent down to Fort Jackson had not recovered the fort, and fighting continued on the 25th. Wheeler's cavalry are operating through Northern Georgia and Eastern Tennessee. Guerillas have appeared on the Arkansas shore of the Mississippi, opposite Memphis. Several Confederate officers and soldiers are re ported to have arrived at Newborn and accepted President Lincoln's amnesty. The Confederates have returned 300 prisoners, in exchange for a similar number sent to City Point by General Butler, but refuse further exchanges until their laws regarding coloured troops are acknowledged. They refuse further negotiations with Lieneral Butler on the ground that he is an outlaw. Admiral Lisseffski has visited General Butler at Fort Monroe. Advices from New Orleans report that mutual courtesies continue between the Federal com manders in Brownsville and the Mexican general commanding in Matamoros. The Free State men have held a convention in New Orleans, in which negroes were admitted to seats, and the convention was opened by a prayer from a coloured preacher. Two of the Chesapeake pirates have been arrested at St. John's, New Brunswick, and brought for examination before a police magistrate.

The Times assumes that within a very brief space of time the possession of Schleswig will be decided by arms. The Germans, being very superior in numbers, will desire to push on and take the Danes before they are able to make good the line of de fence between the town of Schleswig and the Treene, on which the latter now rely for enabling them to keep the Federal troops from over running the country. The Danish army is, how ever, active and well disciplined, and "will doubt less not be driven from Schleswig without such a resistance as befits men whose cherished na tional rights have been invaded." With a view of assisting our diplomacy, and for the protection of British interests, it is not unlikely that the Channel fleet, which was ordered home a few days since, may show itself in German waters. " From the first," says the Times, " our government has taken a leading part in its efforts to arrange this vexatious affair amicably, and it is owing to British counsels that the Danes have abandoned important positions and sacrificed the greater part of the country which is the subject of dispute. Nor can we doubt that the sympathy of the English people is generally with the Danes in the quarrel which has been forced upon them, inasmuch as it is here evident that the revolu tionary impulse has come from without, and is owing to the desire of Germany to despoil a small state, after haring so long shown an undignified acquiescence in the domination of large ones. But, as there is a great difference between sympathy and interference, we are bound to weigh well the consequences of any act which would entangle us in the war which Denmark may have to wage against the German Powers. To the prudence of the government, therefore, we must commit the conduct of affairs at this im portant crisis, and we have no doubt that parlia ment, shortly to meet, will sanction any step which Lord Palmerston and the cabinet may feel bound to take for the sake of preserving peace and for maintaining the honour and dignity of the nation." The Army and Nary Gatette of to-day observes that, as regards land troops, the Danes are little more, numerically, than a Macedonian phalanx, compared with the immense army of the confedera tion ; but, as a maritime power, the Danes are infinitely superior to their aggressors, and could inflict the most serious damage on the German northern ports. The Garman feet is a myth. Is is true that Austria has no despicable fleet in the Mediterranean, with hend•quarters et Pala ; but, all things considered, it is not likely that a single Austrian vaned will leave those blue waters, overmatched already by the fleet of the Bing of Italy. According to the latest official data, the Danish steam fleet consists of 31 'easels, mounting 402 guns. Of thee@ one is a ship of the line, carrying 64 guns ; the remainder are frigates and oorvettes, of which four are iron-plated and carry rifled cannon. The sailing fleet in clude, two ships of the line and ten other vessels, carrying a road of 427 guns. If we add to this some 50 gunboats, we find that Denmark has a fleet at her command of 93 "fuels of war, carrying 92: , tag% The event" of the tart war pf3t6 that the Dann Ira no mean foes even by lami. They held their ground in 1348 and 1849, and drove back the invading airman. The respective positions of the troops in the duchies are these: The Saxons and Hanoverians, amounting together to about 12,000 men, occupy the frontier of Schleswig ; the Austrians are in the south west of Holstein, but I just within tho frontiers of the duchy, not far from the Elbe; the Prussians have not yet entered Holstein ; they occupy the approaches from Lubeck. The Danes are concentrated between Schleswig and Fre- I derichstadt ; they occupy a very strong line of defence, formed of a range of hills, the flanks of which are covered by inundated plains. The Danish army is estimated at nearly 60,000 men, resolute and well commanded. Their position is protected by field work., and will be difficult to force. (112417. A'S TZLEGRLYS.) FRANCE.

PARIS, FIIDAT EVZNING. The ball given by their Majesties at the Tuile ries the night before last was exceedingly brilliant. As is usual on such occasions, a diplomatic recep tion took place in the Salle du Tame before the imperial party entered the rooms appropriated to dancing. The heads of embassies were ranged in the order of their seniority, with the exception of the Papal Nuncio, who always takes precedence. After Mgr. Chigi came Lord and Lady Cowley for England ; the Prince and Princess de Metternich for Austria ; Mehemed Djemil ' Pasha for Turkey ; Baron and Baroness de Budberg for Russia; Count de Goltz for Prussia ; and K de Isturitz for Spain ; then the 3finisters- Plenipotentiary, and after them the charges d'Affaires. A number of presentations took place, and then their Majesties entered the rooms thrown open to the general company. The Emperor wore the uniform of a general officer, and the Empress a white dress embroidered with gold, and having on the head a coronet of magnificent diamonds, to which was attached a white veil falling on the shoulders behind. Dancing commenced immediately after their Majesties' entrance and continued to 3 o'clock in the morning. In the case of the railway accident, it seems that the engine of the Brussels train, which had been thrown by the shock on the top of the carriages of the train standing at the station at Pierrefitte, was afterwards overturned. The whole station near the scene of the accident was the next day still covered with the shattered remains of the carriages. The engine driver and the stoker had time to jump off, and so escaped uninjured. An investigation is now going on, by mesas of putting a train is motion, to ascer tain whether, as the night was clear, the steam es caping from a locomotive could be so intense as to impede a view of the signals, for it is only inch a circumstance that could have caused such a deplor able accident. One of the trains was bringing Elf Court. OSBORNE. J. 8. The Queen walked out yesterday morning with Primer Helena. Earl Granville had the honour of dining with the Queen and Royal Family.

DM the Prince of Wales left Frogniore Lodge at a quarter. past eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in an open carriage and pair, with several gentlemen of his suite, and arrived at Virginia Water shortly before twelve o'clock ; her Royal Highness the Princess of Wele• followed in a close carriage, accompanied by bar ladies in attendance. Their royal higbneeses immediately proceeded to the lake, where they were met on the ice by about forty ladies and gentlemen, many of the gentlemen belonging to the Loudon Skating Club. Two sides were chose' for the game of hockey ; those on the Prince's side were distinguished by a white ribbon'on the left arm. The game was kept up with great animation until two o'clock, when the Prince and his datioguisbed 1 1 company repaired to the Fishing Temple, where they partook of a 42mptuoas luncheon ; afterwards they re , tamed to the lake and resumed the game of hockey, which they kept up till a quarter to five o'clock, when the Prince left for Frogman. His royal highbrow proved biz, melt • but-rate skater and player, being es active with his hockey stick as he was on his skatee. The Princess of Wales, who is au ezreUent skater, seemed mach io. tareekd in ;the game, and was occasionally driven about in a sledge. The Princess left Virginia Water at four o'clock. Independent of the royal visitors and suite there were upwards of SOO people present, including a large number ,of ladies, who displayed much AM and elegance in the performance of several difficult figurer. This exciting mese was much enlivened by the performances of the band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), who were comfortably seated round a large charcoal fire on the banks of the lake, near to the Fishier; Temple.

INSTALLATION OF DEAN STANLEY. (THIS DAY.) The installation of Dr. Stanley as Dean of West miastra took ghee this morning at the 10 o'clock service at Westminster Abbey, in the presence of a congregation of about 1,000 persons, besides the clergy and chorister.. The rumours of intended opposition from Canon Wordr worth proved, of Genres, without foundation, the reverend gentleanan being Omit altogether from the service. The cathedral clergy present were the sub-dean, Lord John Tlaynne, Canoga Jennings, Careton, and Evan Heron, the Rev. Precentor Haden, and the Revs. S. Flood Jones and Raeford, both of whom assisted in the service. • Dtuin g the earlier portion of the service the new dew was ab sent, awaiting in the precincts of the cathedral the summons for the ceremony of installation. At the conclusion of the Snit Leeson, the precentor, quitting his stall, retired to the Jerusalem Chamber, whence he conducted Dr. Stanley into the church. Just inside the precentor delivered the royal man date to the sub-dealt , who after examining it, handed it to the chapter cleat, Mr. Bedford, by whom it was read aloud. The, precentor then placed the New Testament in the heads of Dr. Stanley, who took the oaths and made the declara tions required ; immediately after which the sub-desa con ducted the dean to his stall, and while the latter was taking his seat the former gave utterance to • formal decimal address to him in Latin. . . The cereneoey of installation leaving thus been completed, the service was proceeded with, commencing, where it was resumed, with the To Deem. Before the Collect for the Day came the following suf frages, or petitions, i• addition to the usual ones, especially appropriate to the emersion : Priest-0 Lord, sive thy servant Arthur Penrhye Shmley, dean of this collegiate church. A.—And grant unto him that he may over trust in Thee. . . Priest—Be unto him a tower of strength against the face of his enemies. Pries t—G ive onto him the joy of Thy riving health. A.—And strengthen him with Thy principal Spirit. This was succeeded by the following special prayer for the new dean :—" Almighty God, by whose gracious pro vidence, Arthur Peurhyn Stanley, Doctor in Divinity, is appointed Dean of this Collegiate Church, give unto him be (clown of Thy grace, that those things which he bath promised and his duty requires he may faithfully per form, to the praise and glory of Thy name and the enlarge. meat of Thy church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.' , This was followed by the usual prayers down to the close of the service. The anthem foe the °melon wee " How lovely are the measeugers that preach the gospel of pesos," the music being that of Meadelasolin. no entire service, including the memony of installation, occupied just an hour. A chapter was afterwards held, at which the Dean melded. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF ELY. It is with deep regret we have to announce that the venerable and venerated Thomas Tattoo, Bishop of Ely, departed this life as Thursday erasing. at his residence is Dover.street, London. His lordship's age was, we believe, about 84. He was a native of Yorkshire; and on coming up to the University he entered at Queens' College, where he kept nine Terms, and afterwards migrated to St. Catharines College, of which he subse quently became a Fellow on his graduating as Senior Wrangler, sod First Smith's Primrose, in the year 1805. le 1822 be was appointed LUOISIII3 Professor of Mathe matics, and in 1827 he became the Regius Professor of Divinity.

In 1835 he issued a valuable work, entitled "Thoughts on the Admission of Persons, without regard to their Religious Opinions, to certain Degrees in the Universities of England. Having suffered much from ill-health, his lordship has led a very retired life for several years. and has interfered very little either in political or ecclesiastical affairs.

EXECUTION OF THE EX-POLICEMAN LUEt CHAELSII.-(TOTS DAY.) To-day, at noon, the ex-policeman Luke Charlt,, who war eentenced to death at the recent Livorno mixes for the murder of his wife, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at Kirkdale Gaol, in the presence of a very large amocoures of spectators. The prisoner, previous to 1854, we. a member of the Irish police force stationed at Heath, near Emo, County Wicklow. In the Okristansa of that year he married the unfortunate d,. ceased, but they did not live together. In Ireland the police an amenable to military and very rigid discipline, and, as they live in barracks, they a l , not allowed to marry without leave ; and it unfortunately happened that Charles did not obtain permission when 1., made the deceased his wife. He lived in barracks, she re. mainiog with her friends. After Charles had been married two or three years he formed the acquaintance at Eiuo 4 . girl named Ellen Font, to whom he proposed marriage, and Fotd thinking him a single men accepted him. The prl,or, did not fax any time for marrying Ford, telling her he would do sou soon as be could procure a situation in some polke force in England. The prisoner left Ireland in 1861, and o_ the 2nd of April in that year he called at the honor of a sister of his wife's, named Julia Dunn, who lived at Pendleton. He remained for some time Pendleton, and after reporting himself to the police autho rities at Preston he was sent to Bury, where his wife joined him in lodgings at the house of Mrs. Porritt, a widow, Mrs. Porritt had a &righter, Amelia Farrar, and on the evening of the 13th February both Farrar and her mother law Charles and his wife going (though not together) in the direction of Busy station, whence trains left for Manchester, Mrs. Charles told Mrs. Porritt that she was going to Pendleton to us her sister Dunn, and that she would return about nine o'clock the same evening. Shedid not return, but the prisoner returned to Mrs. Porritt'a, and when asked what had become of his wife he gave a variety of evasive and noontide:tory re plies, which excited suspicion and uneasiness. At one time ton stated that she was in county Wicklow, at another in Lao;,. lin, and no on. On the rooming of the 14th. the body of a woman was found in the canal near Pendleton. but ac it was not identified at the time it was buried. This body. however, was that of Mrs. Charles, though the discovery did not take place until August last. In the meentimel'harles had been over to Ireland, and bad seen Ellen Ford, and though he could not obtain the priest's sanction to their mar riage, he induced Ford to come over with him to England, and after staying with him (though notes his wile) for a short time in Bury, she afterwards went to the north of England to stay with' a sister until the arrangements for her marriage with Charles could be completed. But the anxieties and suspicions which had never ceased :a haunt Julia Dunn as to her sister's fate prompted her to seek counsel and aid from the polio, authorities; and the malt was that the body found in the canal on the 14th of February was clearly proved to be that of Mrs. Charles, and, by a chain of circumstantial evidence which the jury could not resist, the guilt of murdering his wife wee brought bane to her husband, who war accordingly at the recent swim condemned to death. A telegram from Liverpool informs us that about 13,m) penance were present at the execution. The wretched MAD died firmly, and made no confession. On appealing at the drop his face was very pale, and his eyes were closed. The crowd were quiet. SPEZCHES OP MR. PORNS!, M.P., AND MR. MANS); M.P. THE DANISH DIFFICULTY. Mr. Forster, the member for Bradford, made his annual opeech to hie constituents last night. The boo. gentleman gave a fresh exposition of hie well-kaown views on the American war ; he denounced the destruction of Kagoeima ; and coming to the Schleswig-Holstola question, he urged a policy of nonintervention. He believed tout no government would remain in power • week that engaged in a unless and absurd intervention then. It could not for • moment be thought that they who felt the interests of England were too precious to go to wax with Austria to save Hungary or Yantis, or with Russia for Poland, should go to war to make Schleswig or Holstein submit to Denmark. (Applause.) Mr. Mouser also addressed a meeting of his constituents in Salford last night. The bon. gentleman spoke chiefly on questions of foreign policy. He did not believe that the American union could be reestablished ; he sympathised with the Poles, but was of opinion that they were unequal to the contest upon which they had entered; and with regard to the quarrel' between Denmark sad Germany, he !could not see that it was the duty of England to interfere either on one side or the other, unless, indeed, on the outbreak of • war, fresh complications ran. dewed • policy of nonintervention on oar pert impossible. All that we and our coadjutors had done was to recognise the title of the premet King of Denmark to be also Duke of the Duchies; they bad not guaranteed to maintain that title, and they AM under no obligation whatever to sand him by military means. If throe obscure provinces preferred to be ruled by petty princes of their own, though he thought petty princes wens peat aninnakirtead of uniting their fathers with their brave and hardy neighbours, and so constituting a powerful and respectable monarchy, that was their affair. He aertainlythought they would do better if they would join Denmark. Unfortunately that question was complicated with the whole question of German independence, and it seemed that all the people of Germany were to • man on the side of the Holsteiners, and against the King of Denmark. The difficulty we had to encounter was that the great Ger man powers might find themselves impelled by public opinion into • war for the protection of the independence of Salamis and Holstein, and that those peat powers being so engaged might drag tie ether powers into the wanted. (Cheers sad a votes, " How '!") He would tell them. They bad heard that it was a favourite object of French policy to advance the frontier of Francs to the Rhine. If it was not for that old and cherished policy of France, which this un fortunate complication seemed to offer an opportunity of carrying into effect, England might be contact to regard with indifference the quarrels of the two *beam provinces. There was the danger we bad to encounter, sad it was against it that the skill and caution of our rulers had to protect as. Austria and Prussia, as representing the great German people, might be forced into war ; and other novels having views of ambition might make it • pretext foe break ing the pane of Europe, and so involving as in that queer tire. (Hear, bear. "Then is no reason for involving u•") He agreed with that remark ; and if we were involved, we should expect those who involved us to give a satisfactory proof dint war was inevitable.
