This Company has been teemed for the purpose of purchasing • the freehold known es Queen Anne's Ship Yard, and the valuable bushier now canted on by private capitalists therein ; of carrying on ship bulking In iron and wood, and of mechanical engineering in all Its branches. The ship-tatilding yard pemesses • frontage to the ma of up wards of 1,2b0 feet, In whirls there will be capacity for laying down 10 ship, taking an average of 00 feet in width for molt ship. As at present candituted, the establishment comprises a first-class stone-bent dry d ck, MO feet by 52 feet, In perfect working ccmditints, with steassomine, clicularmw asiz.sollat shops, hmtver dada NW, and balltHaga with slips, quays, snd other necessary appliamer, ala good repair. On the premises there is a capital Ilse kiln, four excellent dwelling-homes, suitable for the manager and employes of the company, six cot tages foe foremen, ; a good supply of fresh waist, and an abundance of lime and building stone.

The branch station of the South Devon Railway Company is situated in the immediate vicinity, and H.M. Dockyard, Devoopork Is within an easy distance.

THE QUEEN OF DENMARK AND PRINCESS DAGMAR. (fax • COWSPONDIIIT COPENHAGEN, Aran, 20. The persons assembled at the railway station, outside the western gate of Copenhagen, on the evening of April 18, were witnesses of a scene of deep and painful interest. Telegrams had been received from Nice stating that the Grand Duke Nicolas, betrothed to the Princess Dog ma; was in a hopeless state (though a somewhat more favourable telegram has since arrived), and that he had expressed a wish to see the Princess before his death. The Queen, the Crown Prince, and Princess Dagmar, on the receipt of this sad in telligence, at once determined to start for Nice. The King, taking with him his two younger children, Princess Thyme, an intelligent and well-educated little girl, in her 12th year, who speaks English fluently, and Prince Waldemar, a fine spirited boy, who is some years younger, determined upon accompany them sailer as Korsor, the port from which they were to embark for Lubeck. A number of persons were assembled at the railway station to witness the sad and unusual spectacle, and to testify by their pre sence that respectful sympathy which, though powerless to prevent, must always soothe and soften the sorrows to which Numanity is heir. There was something singularly sad and touching in the occasion by which they were called together. A young and interesting person, beloved anti respected by all classes of her countrymen, and not least on *mount d the unostentatious exercise of those sterling qualities which are eommouly believed to have rendered her a source of great comfort to her family in the midst of the sorrows which war en tailed on them and their country, was just about to start upon a journey, sadly different from that on which, until recently, it had been supposed that she would ere long leave her father's capital. She was about to traverse Europe hastily to seek the house of mourning, not a bridal home. Within that home a prince lay dying, with whom it had been thought that she would, one day, share the throne and crown of All the Russian. Rumen nature would not be human nature if it were not stirred on such an occasion as this. The Danes may have their faults, like the people of other countries, but the qualities of the heart are good. Those who live among them become acquainted with many acts of sympathy and unobtrusive kindness which never meet the public eye. They were not likely to be wanting in their tribute of sympathy on the eve of so sad a journey. The persons assembled at the station manifested that sympathy by their presence. Many, perhaps, who staid away were influenced by feelings not less sympathetic. Among those present at the railway station were, Tillisch, President of the Coun cil ; David, Minister of Finance, and chief spokesman for the government in all the aseembliell ; and Breestrup, Miuuster of Justice and Public Worship, who was summoned from Berlin as a successor to Keltzen. The Rus sian Minister, Baron Nicholay, and many of his colleagues, were also present, with several of the persons attached to the court, and some of the higher civil and military officials. The King and ' the Queen, and the Crown Prince, Princesses Dagmar and Thyra, with little Prince Waldemar, arrived at the railway station at about a quarter past seven. They almost immediately entered the royal carriage, and very shortly afterwards the train took its departure. The Queen and Princess Dagmar are said to have been deeply moved, and indeed the whole scene was solemn and affecting. The Queen, the Crown Prince and Princess Dagmar are attended on their journey by General Oxholw, the Grand Marshal of the Court, and from Korsor to Lubeck by Captain Irminger. The King and the two much difficulty in securing the acquiescence, either silent or expressed, of most of the States in the operation of the decree. Wherever the Federal armies have been, the slaves have either fled, or have secured their freedom. In other places they have become so "demoralized" as to be worthless to their owners. Two hundred thousand of them are now in the Federal army, and hundreds are en listing every week in Richmond. That grand up rising of the slaves for their owners, which Confede rate prophets in England predicted, in which the mums, to use Mr. Lindsay's language, were to " follow their young masters to the field," has never taken place. The movement was made too late, and failed, for reasons that were always obvious. The negroes, not being mere beasts of the field, nor yet idiots, would not enlist ; their owners would not make them, and I believe the total result of this awful measure, which was to shake the North to its foundation and deluge the continent with blood, was the recruiting of 200 men and boys at Richmond, of whom 80 bad been hospital nurses, and were forced into the service ; they all escaped during the evacuation. ♦s regards the institution of slavery itself, Mr. Lincoln of course has no power to touch it. Its existence, however, apart from the slaves, is scarcely worth discussion, and I have little doubt that within the next year or two, when the smoke of the battle-field has cleared away, and the landholders in the slave States have seen free labour in actual operation, the constitutional amendment abolishing it will be adopted by the requisite majority of the States. I do not mean to insinuate, by any means, that all difficulties in the way of satisfactory reunion are actually over, and that the coming summer is to be given up to rejoicing. 1 have little doubt that attempts to protract the resistance may be made here and there ; that guerillas may have to be hunted down by Federal cavalry ; that Kirby Smith may attempt to hold out in Louisiana, and Magruder in Texas. But these things will be but the swell after the storm.. No tempest so tierce as that which has been sweeping over the Southern States during the last four years is ever followed by instantaneous calm. But that we shall witness within a few weeks the total abandonment in every quarter of all attempt at armed resistance, I have no doubt whatever. The troubles which the Union has still to encounter will not be met on the battle-field, but in Congress and at the polls, and that troubles are in store for it no careful observer can avoid seeing. They will pass off, but not without struggles that will try the political machine sorely. The North is so rejoiced over the conclusion of the war, is so totally wanting, as it has always been, in all feeling of rancour and vindictiveness which its enemies have never wearied in ascribing to it, is now so ready to fall upon the neck of the South and weep, so eager for the giving, and hugging, and singing the doxology with its late enemies, and contains so many people who have always been in secret sympathy with the Confederates, that there is some fear that in coming together again it may fail to exact the necessary guarantees for its own peace and security, that it may bete° hasty in dis banding its armies, and may fail to take the pre cautions necessary to secure the rights of the ne groes whom it has emancipated. The protection which the latter will obtain from the State laws at the South, or even in the Federal courts after the withdrawal of the Federal forces, will, I think, be very small. They will still be ill-treated, mur dered, robbed of their wages, cheated in various ways, and white juries will deny them all remedy. This will probably stimulate the republican party at the North into fresh activity, and drive them into an agitation (for which, indeed, they are alreadypreparing) for the extension of the franchise to the freedmen. This is, however, a matter of exclusively State jurisdiction, over which the Fede ral Congress has no authority, and the object of the abolitionists can therefore only be accomplished by an amendment to the constitution. In pressing for this they would doubtless be supported by a vigorous outcry from the negroes themselves, while the Southern whites would be supported in resis ti ng it by their old allies, the Northern democrats. Nobody who considers this question with reference to all its consequenees, probable and possible, can help seeing in it the materials for a political contest I which may rival the anti-slavery struggle in bitter ness and intensity. And if I am not greatly mistaken it is likely to be complicated by a vigorous attempt on the part of the South, the democratic party, and a portion of the Western republicans, to secure a revision of the tariff in the interest of free trade. The South will assuredly soon grow restive under the enormous weight of taxation imposed to pay the expenses of defeating them, and will endeavour to secure a tariff which will meet the public ex penses without benefiting the manufacturers of the younger children returned on the following morning, the 19th inst., to Copenhagen. A telegram, received on the same day, gives a somewhat more favourable account of the Grand Duke, but those who must be well informed appear to feel that the case is hope less. A telegram from Nice, of the 17th of April, states that after the Grand Duke had suffered for ten days from pains in the head, congestion of the brain ensued. The symptoms afterwards became more favourable, but it is added that the last sacraments had been administered to the Grand Duke in accordance with the wishes of his mother, the Empress. The Queen of Denmark, the Crown Prince, and Princess Dagmar left Lubeck at 5 o'clock on the 19th inst., intending to proceed by Lauenburg and Luneburg on their journey to Nice. The deep sympathy of the public will go with them on their mournful journey.

NEW YORK, LIMII. U. It was evident from the moment that the occu patiou of Burkeaville by Sheridan had cut off Lee's retreat towards Danville that his case was hopeless. He was forced to push on towards Lynchburg, with his men deserting in great numbers, his supply of food and ammunition short, and without the means of renewing it, with the Federal cavalry in his front, flank, and rear, preying incessantly on his already scanty baggage train, and with the prospect of having to turn and engage a superior force every twenty miles. Even had be succeeded, under such circumstances, in reaching Lynchburg, he would have been no better off than before. He would have found Hancock already there ; the passage down the valley to Knoxaville barred by a portion of Sher man's forcer, and the remorseless Grant and insa tiable and eager Sheridan still pressing behind him. So that the only question he had to decide on Friday 'sat, when he received Grant's summons, was not whether he would lay down his arms, but whether he would lay them down there and then, or a few miles further on, after the slaughter of a few hundred more of his weary and war-worn men. I thought it most likely, as you may remember, that he would struggle ou, and that the surrender would occur at Lynchburg, unless, indeed, which seemed by no means unlikely, desertion, and casu alties, and captures should so thin his ranks, that he would have nothing left him to surrender by the time be got there. But the engagement at Jettes ville on Thursday, and the gradual closing up of Grant's troops, seems to have convinced him that he had uo alternative, and be has accordingly given up the contest. And when we consider that be is the only able leader the Confederates have left, and that his army is the only one which has been able from first to last to keep the field against the enemy with unbroken front, and has been composed from the outset of the !owe? of the Confederate population, it is fair to conclude that with its destruc tion the war is virtually at an end. It is not probable that Johnston will attempt to hold out very long after be receives the news of Lee's over throw, even if his men could be induced to follow him. He will, of course, see that any prolonga tion of the struggle under present circumstances would be simply a useless, and therefore guilty prolongation of bloodshed. He has no place to re tire to, no depots of supplies to draw from, no arsenals to rely on for ammunition, no money to pay his men with, nor manufactures to clothe them, and he has three powerful armies on his track. Moreover, the fate of the Confederacy has been so long linked with that of Lee's army in the eyes of the Southern public, that there can be little doubt that the news that that army has ceased to exist will cause most of Johnston's men to give up the game and go home, no matter what his opinions or wishes may be. As to the prospect of a long period of guerilla warfare, I have, as you know, always scouted the idea that the guerillas would keep the field after the regular armies had disappeared. lam of the same opinion still. I venture to predict that before Christmas next there will not be a trace of them left, except in the persons of a few common robbers, in any State east of the Mississippi ; and more than this, that those of them who do not go home voluntarily and iu despair will be compelled to do so by the action of the State authorities. Already, since the fall of Richmond, and before Lee's surrender, a large portion of Mosby's band in Virginia, the most enterprising body of partisans in the Confederacy, have given up the businees and gone back to their farms. I know that these are not the opinions generally held on this point by the friends of the Confederacy in London, but I take it for granted that the English public has by this time been cured of all disposition to heed what they say. There is every reason to believe that you will now witness the dissolution of the Confederacy in the mode which I mentioned last winter as that in which it was moat likely to take place. You may remember that I argued strongly against the notion which was current during the conference at Hampton Roads between Mr. Lincoln and the Confederate Commissioners, that peace would ever come from any formal negotiations between the Federal and Confederate governments. I maintained that the end would come only when the Confederacy had ceased to have any organised force able to keep the field, that the government of Mr. Davis would then perish of inanition for want of a treasury, a capital, an army, or any other means of executing its mandates, and that when this happened the separate States, find ing themselves face to face with the enemy, would separately provide for their own safety,
