The sudden announcement of the death of his Majesty FREDERICK VII., King of Defarnark , comes quite as a surprise to Europe. And the intelligence is all the more startling of its kind, S Leing that it spreads over Christendom at the very moment when the Congress proposed by the French E m P e• ror is under the consideration of all the chief Euro pean Sovereigns. While it is so, one of the number is abruptly snatched from life. The know ledge of even his Majesty's indisposition was scarcely known beyond his own couutry, certainly was un known beyond the Scandinavian regions. His death was consequently quite unlocked for. And, seeing that it occurs in the fifty-fifth year of his ago, it must be said to have happened prematurely. Erysipelas, resulting in fever and delirium, appears to have heen the cause of the monarch's rapid de mise. The span of the life thus completed dates from the birth of his Majesty, FREDERICK CHARLES CHRISTIAN, on t h e 6th of October, 1808, to his very recent death, at about half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, the 15th November, 1863. The l a t e King of DENMARK, the re f ore, was about half a NAPOLEON 111. younger than the Empe ror year They were both born in 1808, the Ring in O cto b er, tie Emperor in April. In the full vigour of his life, therefore,his Majesty, Ring FREDERICK has closed his career after a re ,gn of from fifteen to sixteen years. Born in th a same year as NAPOLEON 111., as we have just re tt larked, it should here be added that FREDE RIC K VII. assumed the reins of Government in Den t-1z in the very year in which the then Prince CIS NAPOLEON was called to power in France. ly that, whereas the Danish Monarch is younger the ,n the ruler of France by half a year, the former ha I been at the head of the Government of Den mf very nearly a whole year longer than NJ k OLEON 111. has been at the head of the Govern mi -int of France, King FREDERICK VII. succeeded 13 a father, King CHRISTIAN VIII., on the 20th of anuary, 1848. The Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON being ected President of the French Republic in that same r ear on the memorable 10th of December. With these differences, merely, of FREDERICK VII. of Ylenmark being younger by half a year as a man, od older by almost a year as a ruler, than NAPO ", EON career of the Danish King and the o treer of the French EMPEROR have been running, tr p to this time, nearly parallel, that is to say, at least, nearly contemporaneously. Three times within the last thirty-five years of his life, a life numbering altogether, as we have seen, less than five and fifty, three several times has the late King of DENMARK married. The first of these marriages took place on the Ist of November, 1828, when he espoused the Princess WILUELMINA MARIA, one of the daughters of King FREDERICK VI. of Denmark, the immediate predecessor of the father of the KING just now deceased. An unhappy marriage it turned out to be, as the world knew five years afterwards, when the royal pair were divorced. A second marriage was con tracted by his late MAJESTY in 1841, upon the 10th of June, when he took to wife, " for better, for worse," .the Princess CAROLINE CHARLOTTE MARIANNE, the daughter of GEORGE, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Again the result showed that he had done so " for worse" instead of " for better"—the royal couple being divorced in a little more than five years later on, namely, on the 30th of September, 1846. As if tired then of the ill-luck twice brought to him by means of a right-handed marriage, the late KING on the 7th of August, 1850, essayed what is known as a left handed or morganatic marriage—his third wife, (not, however, his Queen Consort), being LOUISA CHRISTINA, Countess DE DANNER, Coming to the throne at the beginning of the year of the last great revolutionary outbreak, it is no marvel, to bear in mind that FREDERICK VII. of Denmark had but a troubled time with his subjects in the earlier part of his reign. German Unity, a cause then agitat ing more or less the whole of the various States of the Confederation, then pressing more than once heavily, at moments all but overwhelmingly upon Denmark. Germany claimed then as she has done ever since, not merely the Duchy of Holstein : but with it the contiguous Duchy of Schleswig, the latter province nevertheless appertaining distinctly to the Danish Crown, and having no sort or kind of connection with the Geimanic Confederation. Germany, in point of fact—that being the core of the whole evil—having cast a covetous eye on the noble sea port of Kiel upoa the Baltic. Inasmuch was Germany resolved upon the acquisition of those Siamese Duchies of Schleswig-and-Holstein, to gether with, of course, that eagerly wished-for port of Kiel, that war was declared by Germany against Denmark, the Danish soil was invaded by a German army, and the Danes had to rise in arms, as they did, for the vindication of their rights at the point of the sword, led forward against the foe, with a knightly as well as with a kingly chivalry, by their newly-crowned sovereign, King FREDERICK VII, The result, as one of the most notable episodes of the great revolutionary outbreak, then extending more or less over all Europe, is still borne, of course, vividly in recollection. The German invaders were defeated and were compelled to retire before the patriotic determination of the Danish People and the Danish SOVEREIGN. Warlike movements then gave place to what has been winding on wearily ever since—a succession of tedious and apparently interminable diplomatic negotiations. A tempo rary estrangement between the KING and the people arose out of the Court scandals connected with the circumstances of FREDERICK Vll.'s last mar riage —his third marriage —one, as already remarked, of a left-handed or morganatic character—when the infatuated Monarch took to wife the public dancer, there and then created by him Countess DE DANNER, Happily, all things considered, no issue resulted from any one of the mar riages of King FREDERICK VII. A col lateral branch of the Royal house was called to the succession. The new Sovereign of DENMARK, his present Majesty King CHRISTIAN IX.—yester- day Prince of DENMARK, of the house of Schleswig Holstein Sonderburgh Gluckebargh—is, as we all know full well in this country, the father of 11.R.H. ALEXANDRA, Princess of Wales, and future Queen-Consort of England, and of hie Majesty GEORGE 1., the youthful King of the Hellenes. It has been wisely and fittingly determined that the good and great soldier whom England has lately lost shall not be left without a worthy memo rial. The length and importance of the public ser vices rendered by Lord CLYDE, the remarkable cha racter of the campaigns in which he was engaged, and the high cease of honour and daring ambition which accompanied his straightforward simplicity and unfeigned modesty, all entitle him to rank high among the notabilities of an age by no means defi cient in its military talent. Not less meritorious as an example, or rare as a qualification, was the un swerving fidelity with which Lord CLYDE devoted himself to the duties of his profession through the long years of inaction and obscurity. The reward of his assiduous attention came at last, and, from the high state of efficiency to which ho had brought his regiment, it was always ready for any emer rn?, and the soldiers were no less ready for im mediate action than the general. By the exercise of that Peculiar gift by which a naturally qualified commanderhis m en , L ord lists the sympathy and confidence of CLYDE had obtained such an ascen dancy ove r hi„ re acting up t er. W o his giment as to be able to ensure their all expectations in the moment of ng dae remember how on a memorable , o ccasion in the Crimea _e asked l eave t o mee t th e line, il and h t ene my's advance i n hoer was that on ly a s "thin am red ple l i no " withstood th e charge. i o f th e spirit Lord CLY DE y, infused into his men, and of their devotion , m to • ole heroic and unsiv2rving leader. The various eminent quali ties of this distinguished man were severally dwelt upon last week, at a meeting convened for the purpose of taking measures to erect a testi monial to his memory. At this assembly many men eminent in different walks of life came for ward to express their sense of the worth and ability of the lamented soldier. Foremost amongst these was the Commander-in-Chief, who, in remarking upon the universality of the desire to pay respect to Lord CLYDE, mentioned that her i N -AJESTY her self was the very first to express her wish that honour should be done to the illustrious soldier who had shown such devotion to her service. The noble duke then entered upon a summary of COLIN CAMPBELL'S career, tracing the fortunes of the young recruit, "born a soldier," tom the time when he entered the army, without any friends or supporters save his own good right arm, hi s h onest heart, and his noble bearing, up to the day when full of honours he was laid to rest-, i n the great Westminster Cathedral. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, as befitted his official position in this record, at tached as much importance to General CAMPBELL'S care of his regiment as to his rieeds of chivalrous courage. The young soldier who petitioned for permission to lead the forlorn hope as a reward for conduct which had attrac . ,v d the notice of his su periors, was the same vvls,c, us general of a division and commander-in chi...it of an army was careful of the life of every so2ler, and never expended an unnecessary force '6l - ,en men might be saved by careful strategy and planning. The Duke ot CAME RIDGE re'marked that it was supposed by many that an offic,er's only duties were in time of war, and that other matters were of no considerable im portance. Such, however, was a great mistake, for that it was the power of dealing efficiently with details while mastering the great principles of the profeesion, that constituted the good soldier. "It is well known," said the noble duke, " that when a man has got his regiment into such a state of efficiency as that in which the 98th was under Lord CLYDE, he will be sure to distinguish himself whenever an opportunity may arise." This has been the case with many eminent leaders, not the least of whom was HAVELOCK, whose atedfast well-doing through so many long years ot weary neglect and insignifi cance prepared him and his men so well for the arduous duties they were afterwards so success fully to accomplish. Earl DE GREY, in addressing the meeting, dwelt principally upon the services rendered by Lord CLYDE in India, not only in suppressing the mutiny, but in restoring order when the insurrection was at an end. Earl DE GREY men tioned that when Sir W. MANSFIELD, Lord CLYDE'S chief of the staff, was leaving Warsaw, where he held a diplomatic appointment at the time of the outbreak, Prince GORTSCHAKOFF said to him that he had no doubt the revolt would be put down by force, but that he thought the task of dealing with the population of the conquered provinces would be very difficult. It did not prove, however, too difficult for Lord CLYDE, on whom devolved a great part of the responsibility, and the honour and regard in which his name is held in India, no less than in his own country, is a sufficient proof that he knew how to sheathe the iron hand in the velvet glove. The Duke of ARGYLL, as chief of the CAMPBELL clan, and Sir CHARLES WooD, as Indian Secretary, were suitable speakers on this interesting occasion, and the stirring eloquence of the Earl of ELLENBOEOUGH reminded the meeting that what Lord CLIVE was at Plassy, Lord CLYDE was at Lucknow, and that honours paid to the heroic dead serve to animate the living. Military honours, said the noble earl , unlik» the distinctions won in other professions, are from the first undisputed realities. The great states man sees his claim to public gratitude fiercely con tested by opposing politicians, slid Lord ELL EN- BoRouGH might have carried the comparison a little further, to the philosophers, the authors, the artists, the discoverers, whose works enrich their age, but bring them, during life, but chequered reputation and limited reward. But with the soldir all is changed. " There can be no doubt as to the merit of the man who defended Bala klava during the winter of 1854, and protected the communications of the British army. There can be no doubt as to the services of the man who, in the face of such difficulties and dangers as those with which he had to contend, rescued the captives in the residency of Lucknow. Still less can there be any doubt as to the military combinations of the man who took possession of Lucknow." Death, as Lord ELLENBOROUGH ob served, has latterly been busy among our great men, and their places are hard to supply, but it will be especially difficult to replace the experi ence of the veteran soldier who, in the Peninsula, in America, in India, and the Crimea had learned the art of war. There are few left to bear him company, and of those old companions in arms their country may justly be proud. Lord STANLEY, in passing his encomium on the merits of Lord CLYDE, said he should wish the statue, which it was proposed to raise to his memory, should be erected beside those of NAPIER. and HAVELOCK—whose names are both associated with his own, and that the fourth place should be reserved for the honoured effigy of LAWRENCE. Such a suggestion deserves consideration, and the vacant posts of honour in our great central square would thus be worthily filled. Meantime we need not fear that the contributions will pour in fast and freely, and the honour due to the illustrious dead will be fully and promptly ren dered by his countrymen. Those who have been trying to persuade them selves that the King of PRUSSIA. intended to modify his arrangements, and to allow many deviations from the strictness of his rules and the arbitrary character of his propositions, will be grievously disappointed when they see the new " Press Law." It would seem as if the framers of it had gone out of their way as much as possible to render the pro visions of it as harsh and obnoxious as they could. In fact, its whole stye and tenour is such that its introduction to the new Parliament is most unsatisfactory and disheartening. It is throw ing down a defiance to those who are advo cates for freedom of discussion, while to those more immediately concerned it is both unwise and unjust. In the first place, a clause is introduced which is equivalent to sealing the doom of any paper. Any journal condemned twice in five year will be considered non-existing. Of course, by this simple process any paper which does not exactly suit the notions of the Government may be speedily sequestrated. It is all very fine to pat in fire years to look as if a long period of probation was permitted; but everyone knows that two days would really suffice for the death -warrant to be drawn up in. This alone stamps the whole affair with insecurity, and prevents any intelligent ob server from concurring with it. After this pro posal, there comes another still more harsh and equally significant. If a new journal is started that is at all supposed to have any connection with, or be a continuation of, the old one, it may be for bidden, without any law proceedings being taken. This is extreme, and of course the prohibition is ntroduced by those who do not want to give any opportunity to the accused to vindicate themselves. If the suspected ones were really in league or col litaion with the guilty party nothing could be easier than to prove it in a court of equity. But the present mods of working out the difficulty exhibits the strength and the weakness of the cause entirely. There is always danger of something wrong when any mystery prevails, and this arrangement is very ()emit. Indeed, there can be no doubt that, with the help of this provision, no new journals will be allowed to be started—at all events, none that are of a progressive tendency. One paragraph is so o as liable theseia o b f l the t worded that it would seem that all who are in any way connected with the carrying on of the paper are to be included fo r l e :s h e e t:: f f ' r i a u n g :r: enactments es .arel'rheealluy"lto be congratulated in one way for their success in manufacturing such e xtreme regulations. It would appear that every powbi 1 prOiTiSin. 11M tlisteaptmetnalties inflicted been considered in order that interruptions should interpose at every turn, and annoyances be inflicted on the unfortunate individuals who attempt to carry on the process of journalism. Thus, the " editor" is to be subjected to participation in every punish ment, whether he is taking an active part or not in the proceedings at the time the offence is com mitted, " even if prevented by absence or by other reasons from exercising his functions." This is a new reading of justice, and allowing, for the sake of argument, that there devices are put into practice, King WILLTAu and his Ministers will certainly have made Prussia famous by this striking and startling exposition of legal invention and legislative enactments. As if the previous regulations were nut strong enough t here is another paragraph which provides that journals are to be considered as offending if they even give a truthful report of the proceedings of the Chambers. Certainly there are not likely to be many discussions which will redound to the credit of the KING and his Cabinet. The new Chamber must be a poltroon set if they endorse such propo sals, and totally unworthy of their country and their position if they stultify them selves by agreeing to such proposals becoming the law of the land. Taking into consideration the various signs and tokens that have occurred, it seems a mockery to have had another election at all. Why insult the people by ignoring what their representatives desire, and insisting on proposals being carried out that are entirely opposite to the views and wishes of the general community. If this is part of a deep-laid scheme to appear as if all rea sonable attempts had been made to establish a con stitutional form of government, it will be a decided failure and a complete defeat. The adverse Cham ber will be dissolved, the indignant population silenced by the strong hand of the law against the exponents of popular wrongs and the vindicators of public rights, but even then there will arise obstacles that will seem insurmountable. Deep in the heart of the nation the feeling will be implanted, and woe will betide those who wilfully ignore or wantonly disregard the sentiment. It would be difficult to find a more irritating subject for contemplation than Prussia presents at this moment, for with a good chance of success and a grand prospect of improvement before them, her rulers have cast prudence to the winds, and entirely discarded patriotism in their suggestions and regulations. In times of difficulty and danger it is of no use to analyse events, or recapitulate troubles; the only way is to take each thing as it comes, and to meet every emergency with care, courage, and constancy. The deputies have a solemn task before them ; let them be true to their cause, and the day must eventually be their own. The new bill on the public press must be summarily re jected, or farewell to all integrity and independence of thought and action. Likewise these representa tives have the responsibility of redeeming their pledges to their constituents, and they must take a bold step in the matter, and with united voice pro claim that such tyranny cannot be tolerated, and that such innovations are not to be dreamt of. Theirs is a trying position, but if they remain true to their own earnest convictions they will be sure to be right, and if principalities and powers are arrayed against them, the might of justice and the majesty of truth are stronger and greater than even they. An anxious and expectant people will wait on their efforts and watch their deliberations, and the issues of this senatorial conflict are of un usual magnitude and import, for they are connected with events that may be the herald of regeneration or the forerunner of decadence to a kingdom that is ranked among the foremost in Christendom, and the question now in abeyance is whether the danger may be averted that threatens to obliterate its greatness, or if history must add another to the long list of failures and disappointments that darken the retrospect, and sully the brightness of her annals.

THE PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, Nov. 15. The opening of the National Assembly took place to-day by Prince Couza, who delivered a speech, making an energetic appeal for harmony between parties. It also announced that bills of a very liberal cha racter would be laid before the Assembly relative to electoral reform, the amelioration of the condi tion of the peasants, administrative decentralisation, railways end the Credit Foncier, and making public instruction compulsory. The Court-martial on Colonel Crawley. The court-martial on Colonel Crawley commences to morrow. The military authorities were quite prepared to enter on the inquiry on the day first named, but on Monday an application was made by the legal advisers of Colonel Crawley for further delay to enable them to complete the evidence for the defence. The matter was referred to the J udge-Advocate-General, who at once acceded to the re quest. The announcement was telegraphed in the course of the evening to the authorities at Aldershot; but so far as they are concerned, their chief duty being to provide the necessary accommodation for the court, and take charge of the witnesses, the inquiry could commence at any moment. In regard to the constitution of the court itself, we may stats that Colonel Palmer, of the 60th, who was named one of its members, has been seized with illness, and that his place has been supplied by Colonel Lodder of the 59th. The following is a complete list of the officers who are to compose the general court-martial:—President—Lieu tenant -General Sir George Augustus Wetherell, K.C.B. Members—Major-,General John Lawrenson, Major General David Russell, C. 8., Major-General Randal Rumley, Major- General Edward Cooper Hodge, C. 8., Colonel Robert Ward law, let Dragoons, Colonel Gloucester Gambier, C. 8., Royal Artillery, Colonel Hon. George Talbot Devereux, Royal Artillery, Colonel Thomas George Alexander Oates, 12th Lancers, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Sawyer, Gth Dragoon Guards, Lieutenant-Colonel Wm. Wynne Lodder, 59th Foot, Lieutenant-Colonel John Neptune Sargent, 3d Foot, Lieutenant-Colonel Seattle Gambier Jenyns, C. 8., 13th Hussars, Lieutenant• Cdlonel Hugh Maurice Jones, 73d Foot, Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Douglas Grey, 37th Foot. Officiating Judge-Advocate—Colonel James Kennard Pipon, unattached. Prosecutor—Colonel Sir Alfred Hors ford, K.C.B. The prisoner will be assisted in his defence by Mr. Vernon Harcourt. It is impossible to say to what length the trial may ex tend ; but if it were not for the cumbrous procedure of the Court, the questions and answers being all written, the issues before it might easily and expeditiously be deter mined. Divested of technicalities, the charges agaii,st Colonel Crawley resolve themselves into the following, as already stated in our columns :—First, that he, by undue severity to Sergeant-Major Lilley, when under close arrest, was guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle man; and, secondly, that in a❑ address made by him at the Mhow court-martial he accused Lieutenant and Ad jutant Fitzsimons or having of his own accord acted with that undue severity towards Sergeant-Major Lilley, he (Colonel Crawley) well knowing that the accusation was false, inasmuch as he himself had given express orders on the subject to Adjutant Fitzsimons, in the presence of many witnesses. These are the oharges into which the Court will have to inquire, and every effort, it is said, Ni ill be made strictly to limit it to those issues. The Rev, Charles Kingsley is about to publish " A History of England for Boys." Rather superfluous after Charles Dickens's " Child's History of England."

There are three steamers due at Liverpool this week with mails from the United States, viz, :—the Etna, from New York, on the 7th, will probably reach Queenstown on Wed nesday next, and the Damascus, from Quebec, on the 7th is also due at Londonderry on the same day. On Saturday next the Cunard steamer, Canada, with dates from .Boston to the Ilth, and Halifax to the 13th, is dux at Qtteous town. FRANCE. An extraordinary boar hunt took place three days since at Compiegne. As a part of the regiment of cuirassiers in garrison at that town were returning from a military promenade, a wild boar ran acros, the road just before them. One of the officers ataited in pursuit, and struck the animal several times with his sabre, but without effect, owing to its bristles and thick skin. The boar at last plunged into the Oise, and swam across. On the opposite bank the pursuit was taken up by a number of peasants, and the boar at la©t took refuge in the gardens adjoining the railway station, where it was shot by M. Bouillon, a coffee-house keeper. The carcase, weighing about 100 kilogrammes, was im mediately cut up and divided among the captprs.

By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 9th October, Hongkong to the 26th September, from Melbourne to the 25th September, from Sydney to the 21st Septem ber, from Brisbane to the 17th September, Adelaide to the 26th September, and from Auckland to the 31st, August, Dunedin to the 18th September, and Wellington to the 12th September. CHINA. We take the following summary of news from the Overland Friend of China, of the 26th of Sep tember :—" The past fortnight has showed a stag nation in political events. In Japan no active hostilities have taken place since the attack upon the town fort of Kagosirna, by Admiral Kuper, on the 15th ultimo. It has been sffirmed that the Japanese in this affair fired the first shot, but that was not until we had committed an act of hostility in seizing three steamers belonging to Satsuma, and lying with their cargoes in Kagosima, Bay. The English fleet, meautitne, is lying in Yokohama bay repairing. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. We take the Mowing summary of events since the last mail from the Melbourne Argus of the 26th of September—" No striking event has marked the month's history of the Maori rebellion in New Zea land. The first Information we received after the despatch of our last account was per her Majesty'B ship Eclipse, from Auckland, which vessel arrived for tha purpose of conveying to the seat of war a Sydney-built iron-clad gunboat, capable of carrying 300 men and stores, and of ascending shallow rivers. The news thus brought was, that up to that time no!hing of importance had occurred, General Cameron preferring to wait for reinforcements, as ho was ignorant of the whereabouts of the rebels, only 0010 bo d y o f v orta appeared in front. There had been only one brush with the Maories when, in consequence of intelligence received, Gen. Cameron and his staff embarked in the Avon and went up the Waikato river. Ou arriving at Meremere he found the Al aories had formed a strong redoubt on a spur of a hill commanding the river, with lines of rifle pits 200 yards long. Two Armstrong shells and rockets were fired, and immediately after wards the Maories opened fire with cannon. The steamer then dropped out of range. Tho next day a largo body of the military com menced the formation of a redoubt commanding a portion of the Maori works, but the native posi tion was very strong, and admirably chosen. At that time the Maories had abandoned the Iluana ranges, and great efforts were being made to induce the Aotea natives to join the insurgents, hut it was hoped the governor's intention to confiscate the rebels' lands would deter them. William Naylor still honourably maintained his allegiance to the Crown, and refused to permit his tribe to take up arms. At the commencement of the present month we learnt by the Claud Hamilton, also from Auck land, that matters were still in statu quo, the weather having been altogether too boisterous to permit of many operations. It was estimated that 2,000 Mao ries were at Merem,ere, and so skilfully entrenched, that they were not attackable with any chance of success till 2,000 soldiers were ready for the attack, besides 1,000 for posts. It is stated that the cupola ship could approach within 100 yards of the centre of the Maori position. A slight skirmish had taken place between 25 men of the 40th Regiment and a party of Maories at the latter end of August. The soldiers were out bush-felling in the neighbour hood of Drury, on the land adjoining the Great South-road, taking no covering party with them, and had piled up their arms, when a large party of natives made a dash across the road, seized on the piled arms, and immediately commenced firing on the working party. They killed two at the first discharge, when, being alarmed by an escort coming in sight, they decamped, bat not before they had taken the meat out of some pots containing the men's dinner, and partly stripped the dead. Capt. Cook, who was in command of the escort, had his sus picions first aroused by seeing a tall column of white smoke rising above the trees, and then shortly after wards hearing the firing hepushed on with his men, and came in time to fall in with the enemy crossing the road. Dashing into the bush after them, Cap tain Cook and the 40th, joined by a detachment of the 18th from the Razorback, under Ensign Haynes, endeavoured to regain possession of the arms, in which attempt, however, they were un successful, although they shot several and pre• vented the enemy carrying away two of his dead. One 18th man was wounded, although not severely. One of the Maories, a very tall man, received six shots before he dropped, and was at last despatched with a bayonet thrust. A detach ment of the 70th came up at the end of the engage ment, from the return Drury escort, but were too late to render any assistance, the enemy having made good his retreat. " The next news we receive will doubtless be of greater importance. Gen. Cameron had decided on attacking Meremere on the 13th inst., having established a cordon of troops round the Maories' position. About 2,000 troops were available for the attack, and it is not improbable a blow may be in flicted which will terminate the war. It is certain, however, that the perseverance and ingenuity of the rebels have been much underrated. They are hard pushed for powder, but somehow or another manage either to procure it or else manufacture a substitute. the latest instance of their cleverness was dis covered when a native woman offered a sovereign for a quantity of little brass eyelet-holes, such as ladies use in lacing. Inquiries were made, and it turned out that the Moaries required them for per- Qussion caps, hiving found that the top of a com mon lucifer match inserted in the centre of one of these eyelet-holes answered every purpose. The Projected European Congress. PARIS, Nov. 15. The Memorial Diplomatique of to-day, speaking of the reply of Russia to the Emperor Napoleon's invitation to a Congress, says : " It is only known, and that by telegraph, that Prince Gortschakoff,'on receiving from the French Charge d'Affaires at St. Petersburg the missive addressed to the Czar, replied that he would hasten to forward it to his Sovereign, who had not yet returned from the Crimea, where he had gone to visit the Empress. As soon as ho received instructions, the prince would make it his duty to communicate his Majesty's resolution. "The assent of Russia," continues the Memorial," can not be doubted. It even appears that at London a suspi cion momentarily prevailed that the idea of a Congress had only been entertained anew by Franco in consequence of a secret understanding with the Court of St. Petersburg, hence the hesitation of the English Ministers to pronounce immediately in its favour. The explanations exchanged on both sides have terminated by demonstrating the sincerity and loyalty of the French policy." The Memorial Diplonzatique states that after the council of English Ministers which took place on the 12th instant, Earl Russell authorised the British Ambassador at Paris to declare to the French Government ►hat Great Britain de. sired nothing better than to co-operate in the work undet , taken by Napoleon 111., of ensuring European order and consolidating the peace of the world, But, in order that the common efforts might be crowned with success, it ap peared indispensable to the Ministers of her Majesty Queen Victoria that the Cabinets of England and France should enter into a preliminary exchange of frank and cordial ex planations respecting the object of the imperial programme and the means of attaining it. The jilemorial Diplomatique further denies the rumour, published by the Augsburg (ia:cttc, of the resignation of Count Rechberg. _ . The Nation of this evening believes itself able to state that the Emperor's Government has not yet received any official communication relative to the reply of the Powers to the invitation to a Congress. Several Governments have, however, foreshadowed the nature of the reply they are about to give, but state that they will still allow some time to elapse before sending their official reply. The Nation also, says —" P=irate letters from St. Peters. burg state that the majority of the statesmen, the usual ad visers of the Emperor Alexander, favour the adhesion a priori to the Congress project; such adhesion being, how ever, made dependent upon a preliminary understanding upon the questions which might be raised and settled in the Congress. On the other hand, it is asserted that the invitation addressed by the Emperor Napoleon to the Pon tifical Court was accompanied by certain propositions, ac• cording to which the Emperor would reserve the presi dency of the Congress of the Pope, should his Holiness assent. "It is'even added, bat this requires confirmation,that the Emperor had requested from the Sovereigns a declaration tending to guarantee to the Pope his present possessions. " In the event of any Sovereigns refusing to enter into such an undertaking, the Emperor, it is said, would pass over them and hold a Congress composed of Sovereigns ad hering to his views. But then the decision taken would simply have the character of a manifestation. In such a Conference the bases of a sort of league might be esta blished comprising all the Sovereigns whose interests and principles might harmonise with those represented by the Emperor Napoleon." THE ACCIDENT TO THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER AFRICA.—A numerously attended meeting of the Council of the Liverpool Mercantile Marine Service Asso ciation was held on Saturday, for the purpose of taking into consideration certain steps to be adopted in relation to the decision of the Board of Trade to suspend the certificates f Captain Stone, of the Royal Mail steamer Africa, for six. months.

Their royal highnesses returned to Sandringham House in the evening. As above stated the gentlemen of the West Nor folk Hunt had the honour of welcoming their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales in the hunting field. The " meet" was fixed at Westacre High House, situate in a splendid hunting country' , at eleven o'clock. Their royal highnesses arrived at eleven o'clock, and looked remarkably well. 'l'b' prince graciously honoured Mr. A. Hammond by accepting his invitation to partake of refreshment. Shortly after eleven the " field," one of the largest seen with the 'Vest Norfolk, numbering at least 200 to 250 horsemen, departed for the sport of the day, which turned out to be very enjoyable. The prince rode well to til e hounds, and evinced a keen appreciation of the sport, as indeed did the princess, who, driving a Pa ir of greys, proceeded in the direction the fox h a l taken, and came up with the field at Narford Hall, where a slight check had occurred. Her royal highness, who was attended by the Countess of Morton, entered with evident gratification into the exciting pleasures of the chase, and alighted at Narford Hall, the seat of Mr. A. Fontaine. The hounds being again cast off, got into the right tract , and the Prince of Wales, with the worthy master of the hunt, Mr. H. Villebofs, were soon in hot pursuit, followed by the numerous field, which comprised the leading gentry of the district. The Prince and Princess were received with the greatest possible respect, whilst there was not the slightest attempt at anything like demonstration. The Crown Princess of Prussia.
