The sudden announcement Majesty FREDERICK VII., Kin g of Denrnariif of the death of hiscomes quite as a surprise to Europe. And the intelligence • a is all the more startling of it s kind, Seen'," that it spreads over Christendom at the very mom ent when the Congress proposed by the French EnaPe 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 country, 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 preihaturely. Erysipelas, resulting in fever and delirium, appears to have been 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 the 6th of October, 1808, to his ver y recent death, at about h a l f-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, the 15th November, 1863. The late King of DENMARK, therefore, was about half a year younger than the Emperor NAPOLEON In. They were both born in 1808, the Xing in Oatober, April. In the full vigour the Emperor in of his life, therefore, his Majesty, Ki ng FREDERICK VII, h As closed his career after a reign of from fifteen to sixteen years. Born in tb ie ;same year as NAPOLEON 111., as we have just re marked, it should here be added that FREDE RI .CK VII. assumed the reins of Government in Den m ark. in the very year in which the then Prince Loin S NAPOLEON was called to power in France. Only that, whereas the Danish Monarch is younger than the ruler of France by half a year, the former has t , een at the head of the Government of Den marl: very nearly a whole year longer than NAF'OLEON 111. has been at the head of the Govern ment of France. King FREDERICK VII. succeeded his :lather, King CHRISTIAN VIII., on the 20th of Jan o.ary, 1848. The Prince Louis NAPOLEON being elec.;ed President of therrench Republic in that same year on the memorable 10th of December. With these differences, merely, of FREDERICK VII. of Den:mark being younger by half a year as a man, and older by almost a year as a ruler, than NAPO LEON lll.—the career of the Danish King and the caroer of the French EMPEROR have been running, up 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 WILHELMINA MARIA, one of the daughters of Kin g 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 1811, upon the 10th of June, when he took to wife, " for bettor, 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 Danmark 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 Germanic 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 upon 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 Glucksburgh--is, as we all know full well in this country, the father of H.R.H. ALEXANDRA, Princess of Wales, and future Queen-Consort of England, and of his 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 sense 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 t he high state of efficiency to which he had brought his regiment, it was always ready for any emer ene3r, and the soldiers were no less ready for im mediate • %then than the general. By the exercise v of that ..,_e_.ar gifttaln by which a naturally qualified commander e n lists the sympathy an d con fid en c e o f his men, 1 40 , 4 Over his regiment had obtained such an ascen dancygaireent as to be able to ens ure their acting up to hi s z u r etations in the moment of danger. We sit re oc casion in the crirne:ller how on a memorable ee asked l eave t o mee t th e ene my's advance in line, withstood the charg e . It 4 how that " thin red irit Lord C LYDE infa wa ti n only a sample of the e sp into his men, and of thei r devotion to the no, leader. The vari ous iv heroic and eminent quali utinessweorfvi guished 111 `th were severally at a meetin g dwelt upon last week, convened for this distin the purpose of taking measures to erect tt testi monial to his memory • assemb l y many men eminent in different walks of life came sense for- _ of t h e wo rth an d ability ward to express their of the lamented soldier. Foremost amongst these was the Commander-in-Chief, who, in remarking upon the universality of the desire to pay respect II 4 JE STY to Lord CLYDE, mentioned that her i . her self was the very first to express her w ish that honour should be done to the illustrious soldier who The noble had shown such devotion to h er s ervice. duke then ent ere d u p on a summar y of COLIN CAMPBELL'S career, tracing the fortunes of t he i Young recruit, "born a soldier," ft man tile time when he entered the army, without any friends or supporters save his own good right arm, his honest heart, and his noble bearing, up to the day when full of honours he was laid to rest in 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 deeds of chivalrous courage. The young soldier who petitioned for permission to lead the forlorn hope as a reward for conduct which had attracted the notice of his su periors, was the same who as general of a division and commander-in•chief of an army was careful of the life of every soldier, and never expended an unnecessary force when men might be saved by careful strategy and planning. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE remarked that it was supposed by many that an officer'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 profession, that constituted the good soldier. "It is well known," said the noble drake, " 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 stedfast well-doing through so many long years of 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. EarlDE 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 ELLENBOROUGH reminded the meeting that what Lord CLIVE was at PlassY7 Lord CLYDE was at Lucknow, and that honours paid to the heroic dead serve to animate the living. Military honours, said the noble earl' unlike 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, and 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 soldier 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 ELLENBOROUGII ob served, has latterly been busy among our great men, and their plat-s 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. Thdse 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 style 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 five 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 leegue or col lusion with the guilty party nothing could be easier than to prove it in a court of equity. But the present mode 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 occult. I n d ee d, th ere can b e no d ou b t that, with t a h l lo owed to o f b this t provision,arted— at all n o events, new ve nt s j , o u n r o n n a e l s t hwaitl are b a of a pr ogressive tendency. Ono paragraph is so wo rded that it are to b e w as ould li s a e b e le m t t o h t a h t e a p ll e vi na h l o tie a s in rei fi n ic a t n ed y wa y co nnected with t h e carry i ng on of the paper included pfoirlertshaetlinfringe e rs Olf these enactments are really to be congratulated in t of the s t a t u t es . The corn one way f or their success in manufacturing such extrem e regulations. It wou ld appear that every passible provision has 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 in to practice, King WILLIAM and his Ministers will certainly have made Prussia famous by this striking and startling exposition of legal invention and legislative enactments. Aa if the previous regulations were not strong enough there 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 bo 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 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 Jud ge - 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 stat 3 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. Me mbers--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, Ist Dragoons, Colonel Gloucester Gambier, C. 8., Royal Artillery, Colonel Hon.

Colonel Hugh Maurice Jones, 73d Foot, Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Douglas Grey, 37th Foot. Officiating Judge-Advocate—Colonel James Kennard Pipon, unattached. Prosecutor—Colonel Sir Alfred Here ford, E.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 q ues ti ons an d answers be i ng a ll wr itt e n, the issues before it might easily and expeditiously be deter mined. Divested of technicalities, the charges against 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 an 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 charges into which the Court will have to inquire, and every effort, it is said, will 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." THE NATIONAL SHAKSPERE COMMITTEE.—The Right Hon. Sir E.

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 tnd the Credit Foncier, and making public iustructiou compulscry. 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 across the road just before them. One of the officers started in pursuit, and struck the animal several times with his sabre, but without effect, owing to its bristles and thick shin. 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 last 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 captors.

In Japan no active hostilities have taken place since the attack upon tho town fort of Kagosirna, by Admiral Kuper, on the llith ultimo. It has been affirmed 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, meantime, is lying in Yokohama bay repairing. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. Wa take the 1 . -glowing summary of events sines the last mail from the Melbourne Argus of th© 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 despat c h o f our last account was per her Majesty' s . ship Eclip se , f rom Auckland, which veseelarrved for tha pu r p ose o f convey i ng to t h e sea t of war a carrying Sydney -built i ron - c l a d gun b oat , ca pable 300 men and s t ores , an d o f as cending shallow of rivers. The new s th us b roug h t was , thit occurred, to that time d, General nothing of importance hado ai re inforeements, as w Cameron preferring to he was ig nora nt of the waithe for whereabouts of the rebels, only a small body of w hom 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. On arriving at Meremere he found the M 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. The next day a large 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 Huana ranges, and great el - oms were being made to induce the Aotea natives to join the insurgents, but it was hoped the governor's intention to confiscate the rebels' lands would doter 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 Meremere, 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, but not before they had taken the meat outof 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 tha 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. file 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 ladtes uee in lacing. Inquiries were made, and it turned out that the Moaries required them for per cussion caps, Using 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 Diplomalique of to-day, speaking of the reply of Russia to the Emperor Napoleon's invitation to a Congress, eays " It is only known, and that by telegraph, that Prince Gortschakoffyon 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 he 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 France 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 Diplomatique 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 that Great Britain de_ sired nothing bettor than to co-operate in the work under 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 Memorial Diplomatique further denies the rumour, published by the Augsburg Oazette, 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 ears —" Private 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, but 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 TILE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER AFRICA.—A numerously attended meeting of the Council of the Liverpool Mercantile Marino Service Asso ciation was held on Saturday, for the purpose of taking into con4deration certain steps to be adopted in relation to the decision of the Board of Trade to suspend the certificate of Captain Stone, of the Royal Mail steamer Africa, for six months. Resolutions were adopted, strongly condemning the course pursued by the court of inquiry as unjust, and pointing out the necessity of having the cou rts of inquiryy reconstituted, with the view of bringing to trial byoa_Jrcis. of nautical men, all captains against whom cher Wednesday e s takes in navigation might be bro u g ht. n ag ex ai t n a s t publicthed io emcieeetiu of Messrsbengwill . held Baker in aLni.d%x O e H r a p a o r o r i l t , o theprot, w e s o t "nautical" asse ssors. ofa It animus bmeliiedxeevdu p was a good d ea l i r t p h o e o l d t e b c . s t i t o h n e r o u t these gentlemen. p a n l d a u r t artist a t the 1 R oy all , we Mr. W.

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. The 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 'West 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 the hounds, and evinced a keen appreciation of the sport, as indeed did the princess, who, driving a pair of greys, proceeded in the direction the fox had 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.
