Zitt ' ( 4, .L.W ma cs '4ll LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 23, 1864. The very serious doubts still entertained as to the accuracy of the telegraphic rumours prevalent yesterday, to the effect that the Prussians had, upon second thought 2, evacuated Jutland, sink into abso lute insignificance as affording matter for public solicitude, when compared with thelar more serious doubts reawakened in the House of Commons last evening by a scrambled discussion, and an ill-con sidered division, as to the general character of the Foreign Policy of her MAJESTY'S present Govern ment. The division, precipitated by the impetuosity of the hen. member for Lisheard, was one brought about by one of his not unfrequent spur-of-the moment propositions. Indignant, in common with what we believe will soon enough manifest itself to be a very considerable majority of the House of Commons, thoroughly indignant with the course pursued by_ her MAJESTY'S Ministers, in keeping both Parliament and the country as much as possible in the dark as to the nature cf certain vitally important diplomatic negotiations, Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE jumps to the conciusion at once that the beat remedy that can possibly be applied is to surprise the House into a vote of want of confidence. Actuated by this suddenly conceived design, he enticevours to realize it by moving— without any previous notice whatever having seen given by him bcforchand--daring the tmexp2cted and regretted alyxnee, moreover, through indispo. sition of the noble lord at the Head of the Govern- meat—that instead of going last evening into com mittee of eupply, the consideration of the naval estimates should be postponed for three weeks, that is, until Easter. And, this—in order to enable ail the premised papers in regard to th© war Ulf raging in the north of Europe, between Den mark and the two leading powers of Germany, to be in the band 3 of members before those said members should be called upon to vote estimates reducing the naval force of England for the year by five thousand men and boys. As to the angry feel ing of the House of Commons with regard to the Administration, because of the reticence of the Cabinet in the matter of its Foreign Policy, there cannot be any doubt whatever about that. It is a feeling that has been growing and intensifying ever since Parliament met at the commencement of the Session. And the angry feeling, here re ferred to, is not by any means confined to the Con servative mejority of the House ranged in formid able array upon the benches of the Opposition. The motion brought forward last night as the first needlessly blurted out expression of that angry feeling, emanated, as already intimated, by no means from the side of the Opposition. It was abruptly proposed by ono of the former col leagues (in a subordinate position, of course) of the noble lord at the head of the Government and his brother Ministers. It was another indication of the rash gallantry by which the member for Liskeard has been so often before now carried away, ever since the date when, with the " wild shriek of Liberty," he escaped from the thraldom incident to his position as Secretary of the Board of Admiralty. So far from the division of last night being due in any way whatever to, what used formerly to be so often designated, a factious Opposition, the leader of the Opposition deprecated the notion of it altogether. Mr. DISRAELI, indeed, while deprecating it, went so far even as to say— " It appears to me of the utmost importance that theme should be fair notice of the intention of the House, and that a verdict should not be taken with out it, especially in the absence of the head of the Government." If the division list, moreover, be glanced at, it will be seen that the right hon. gen tleman refrained from voted at all. Only one of his colleagues, only one of the ex-Ministers of the Crown, Lord JOHN MANNERS, voted in the minority. Whereas in the majority will be found among the members of the Cabinet and their supporters Con servative statesmen as eminent as Mr. HENLEY and Mr. WALPOLE. The voting in that majority (as became them), because the motion was really and truly informal, because it was precipitately brought forward on the spur of she moment, and would have borne all the appearance of a tricky surprise of the Government, and that, too, upon an occasion when the veteran Premier was unable to attend the House, by:reason of a passing indisposition. The re jection of Mr. OSBORNE'S motion, therefore, by way of amendment, cannot but be matter for very general satisfaction. Sooner or later—probably sooner than later— the very doubtful Foreign Policy of Her MAJESTY'S Ministers will be brought, with all due decorum, deliberation, and formality, under discussion in the House of Commons. The estimate formed of that Foreign Policy by a large majority of the House of Commons is by this time, we may pretty con fidently assert, sufficiently notorious.. Numerically small though the minority upon last night's divi sion, that comparatively trifling minority is N ery large, indeed, in its significance. In it, among that less than fifty members, were independent Liberals like Mr. OSBORNE and Mr. ROEBUCK, the former, the originator of the motion of amendment, -s here before recalled to recollection, having been himself once upon a time one of the subordinate members of the Government. The conduct of Ministers towards the House. of Commons in the matter of its foreign policy, could not possibly have been reprobated in stronger language than it was last evening. In the matter of the Danish papers the House, according to Mr. Disnaut's strong way of expressing ityesterday, had been nothing less than "scurvily treated." In another portion of his remarks he said, in scornful reference to the noble earl, the Foreign Secretary, "I congratulate the noble lord in establishing a name that bears terror to no coun try but his own." Perhaps, because of the galling character of these poignant thrusts of ridicule— otherwise we cannot but think most ungenerously and disingenuously under the actual circumstances of the case—the crgan of the Prime Minister this morning, when commenting upon the motion of the hon. member for Liskeard, observes, " The Leader of the Opposition, notwithstanding his habitual readiness to join in any proceeding calcu lated to embarrass the Government, counselled the withdrawal of an amendment of which no notice was given, and on which the opinion of the House, if obtained by a division, would be entirely value less." Surely the unfairest taunt that could possibly have been uttered under the circumstances. Here was the Leader of the Opposition doing, as is indeed acknowledged, the very thing the Govern ment and its supporters would most desiderate, and while referring to the fact of his so doing it, the organ of the Premier goes out of its way to taunt him with being habitually ready to join in any proceedings calculated to embarrass the Government ! Never has any Ministry, we take it, had so easy a time of it, as this present Ministry has had during its tenure of office—so easy a time of it we mean in the way of immunity from party attacks from the side of the Opposition. The "'readiness to embarrass the Go vernment" with which Mr. DISRAELI is taunted by the Morning Post, as the organ of Lord PALMERSTON, can hardly be said to be borne out by the facts recorded in the past history of that noble Lord's still existing, or Second Adminis tration. There is every indication, however, that an entirety new leaf is to be turned over in that Particular by Mr. DISRAELI as a great party leader, at the head of one of the most thoroughly well•dis ciplined and formidable Oppositions the House of Commons has seen confronting any Government. At length the last act in the tragedy is over, and the unwonted scene which took place in the Old Bailey yesterday morning has closed the career of those unhappy men who have so justly paid the forfeit of their crimes with their lives. Not for many a long year has London witnessed such an execution, and, as was reasonably anticipated, the crowd that hurried to witness the spectacle was of surpassing number. Men and women hurried from all parts of the metropolis eager to gratify their morbid curiosity, and so strong was this feel ing that the usuld extravagant sums are stated to have been paid for a seat in the neighbouring windows. It is estimated that the number of per sons present could not have been less than from 30,000 to 40,000, yet, thanks to the extraordinary precautions which had been taken to prevent acci dents, there was no serious disaster. From Ludgate hill to Susithfitld, and from Newgate to Snow-hill, t h e dense throngs extended, many of NI horn, despite the intense severity of the weather, had been in the streets all night. It is a strange and lamentable thing that so appalling a sight should possess such a fascination over many minds, and the great event of yesterday morning was certai n t y not allowed to pass without spectators. For the men themselves there was from the first no hope. Their crime was so cold-blceded, so savage and relentless in its character, that there were few found to plead for lenity on their beltalf. had mercy been s'lown to them it would indeed have been cruel injustice to our men at see. There Are few cries 3 which it is THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1F64. more necessary to put down with a strong hand than murder on the high seas, since nowh2re is the victim more d , lfericelesEl, no where aro the opportunities offered to the criminal so great. Two cf the wretched men who received sentence of death were, however, fortunate enough to obtain a commutation of their punishment. SANTOS and MARSALINO have been respited from death, thanks to the exertions made on their behalf by Mr. BEARD, the solicitor for the defence, assisted by the Spanish Consul, the grounds on which the appeal was made for them appearing just and reasonable. The difference of character and disposition was strongly marked at the last trying hour, two of the prisoners shrinking, as they well might do, from the awful ordeal before them, while another attempted by a reckless and jaunty air to manifest his complete indifference. It was a painful and tragic spectacle, and one which we trust it may be long before we again witness in this metropolis; but so long as we retain the punish ment of death in our criminal code, so long should it be inflicted without hesitation in retribution for all such deliberate and brutal crimes. Those who shrink from the notion of such a wholesale execu tion should remember that if one of these men had committed one murder there would have been no remonstrance as to his death, and assuredly the crime was not lessened but enhanced by conspiracy being added to it. It was no doubt a solemn sight to see five guilty wretches despatched into another world, " with all their imperfections on their head ;" but it was a still more awful thing to send men, secure in fancied safety, hurredly and savagely without a moment's preparation into the presence of their great Judge. Justice is a virtue which states must regard before the softer claims of merry, for assuredly the trembling of the balance will lead to results more cruel and disastrous than the observance of most Dztconic laws. The inquiry which was held on Friday by Dr. LANKESTER, concerning the death of a child in Clerkenwell Workhouse, seems to call for especial attention, alike from its sad particulars and from the bad effects which will be produced on others, through the unwholesome practice which has been recorded. The father of the child had written to Dr. LANKESTER on the subj;ct, and gave his evi deLce in a moderate manner. The details of the case are very distressing. The parents with two children became inmates of the house some time past, and it appears that the sleeping accommoda tion was very insufficient. The children were placed in a ward in which a child had the whooping cough. This was a most reprehensible proceeding, and it was surprising that such a careless and in considerate practice should be allowed in a place where the spread of sickness is so rapid, and where disease is at all times so prevalent. To add to the confusion the mother of the children had to be taken from them, as she caught fever ; but that ought to have rendered them more careful, instead of leaving the deceased, ten months old, to take his chance. Not only have these two children died, but others have fallen victims to the very un- wholesome place in which they were confined. The evidence of the surgeon seems in itself a sufficient proof of the faulty arrangements of the establish- ment. lie admits :that the room in question was occupied by 5 adults and 13 infants. The apart- ment was not large enough for so many occupants, a►nd, added to the oppression of the atmosphere, the fact of a child with a disease being allowed to remain with other chilaren is enough to account for any subsequent disaster. It seems almost unao countab!e that the medical officer did not represent the exprema impropriety of the affAir to the proper authorities, and that these did not at once order a change, and LlT_ct some remedial alteration. If all HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 22. THE DANISH PAPERS. the children in the ward had died, it would not have been at all surprising; and even if a disease had not existed, they went the way to superinduce one with their very deleterious arrangements. Dr. LANKESTER stated that the amount of air which each inmate of the ward had was only 250 cubic feet, and that the minimum he allowed was 500 cubic feet for each member of a family in the parish of which he was medical officer of health. Now that so efficient a judge has stated his opinion, it is to be hoped that the authorities in this and other public places will pay more attention to the im portant point of ventilation, and especially in re spect to sleeping rooms take care that all possible arrangements may be made for the health and com fort of the occupants. How bitterly must the parents regret that they ever entered the work house. The same affliction might have befallen them elsewhere, but still the poignance of grief is doubled by the idea that bad management aggravated the evil, and doubtless accelerated, if it did not occasion, the calamity. The feelings of individuals in a case of this sort is not the primary question. The matter rests on a broader basis, and there is something very faulty in the sanitary arrangements of a place where the medical officer is compelled to give his opinion that children were placed in a locality where they were likely to suffer from a contagious disease. A more absurd custom can hardly be supposed, and there is no cause to be surprised at the pernicious effects which it has wrought. It is not likely that with a little forethought and consideration some temporary ar rangement might not have been made, which would have at all events prevented the child attacked by disease from being placed with others in an unaf fected state. The results of this culpable negligence have made the affair public, and it is to be hoped that all concerned will benefit by the sad occurrence. Yet there are many other persons who are placed in positions of trust, who are equally to blame, if they escape censure from some of the sufferers and their friends not bringing their case forward. Let these take heed and reflect that their fault is as great, and their want of thought and want of heart will one day produce sad effects if they do not take heed in time, and amend so grievous an error as negligence in sanitary arrangements. It is a cruel thing to neglect the health of those whose very existence depends on their keeping their strength unimpaired, and it is the solemn duty, and the sacred charge of those who regulate the establishments where the lower orders are col lected in very large numbers, to do all that possibly lies in their power to render the atmosphere they breathe as free from infection as that enjoyed by their:wealthier brethren. Instead of this proper pre caution and wise care prevailing, we too often find that peop!e are ready to huddle the poor together, place them in damp and unwholesome localities, as if they ought to be glad to get anything like a shel ter, and were made of different clay to the rest of their species. The sooner such ignorance bccernes enlightened the betterfor all concerned. The poor have much to contend against, but there can be no need for them to be exposed to evils whic‘i en tail suffering, disease, and bereavements, and add more burdens to their already overtasked strength. One of the first considera.liens of the thinking mind and feeling heart should be to adopt all measures that are calculated to secure the pos session of health, and this sovereign blessing of humanity can never be retained where inattention prevails concLrning the observnnco of its primary laws. Overcrowding is at all times to lie avoided, as its effects are moat pernicious, but if one place mor3 than another is unfitted for its inconvenient and disastrous influence, it certainly appears that a workhouse comes under the category. LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] The sympathies of the English public have of late been very strongly excited on behalf of the Danish people. Kindred in race and in character, cherishing the same love for feeedom and the same resolution to maintain it at any hezirds, we have watched their conflict with the invaders with the keenest interest. Whatever view individuals may take of the vexed and entangled question of the Schleswig-Holstein Duchies, it is impossible to avoid sympathising with a brave people in their resistance to a hostile force advancing upon their rights. The story of the campaign has, as yet, been short but eventful. It has resulted in much bloodshed and suffering, if in nothing more, and the eager desire so generally felt by Englishmen to lend some aid has at length found the means of expression in at tempting to relieve the distress occasioned by the encounter. In waiting for the production of the long-promised correspondence Parliament has not even ventured upon a decided declaration of indig nation or of sympathy. The public has ceased co hope for the despatch of an English fleet, or even the vigorous expression of the Cabinet's displeasure Half-a-dozen English vessels appearing on the scene would dispel a good many German illusions ; but everything, so far as this country and its rulers are concerned, is to take ita own course. Chafing under this inaction, some earnest and warm hearted Englishmen have devised a plan by which they can at least diminish the sufferings inflicted upon Danmark by this unjust and causeless war, if they are prevented by the fainéant policy of the Whigs from arresting the infliction of those suffer ings. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE has addressed a letter to the Times, announcing the formation of a committee with a view to the transmission of aid to the sick and wounded Danes. Many persons, as the noble lord informs us, have stated their willing ness to contribute to such a scheme, and we have little doubt that the subscriptions will flow in largely and freely. Lord CLANRICARDE says that the sufferings of the Danes, suddenly called upon to protect their country against overwhelming num bers, must excite our compassion, whatever may be our political opinions. In this we apprehend that he is mistaken, since those who (spouse the German cause would be scarcely likely to subscribe for the assistance of the Danish wounded. Happily this point is likely to create little disturbance in the present instance, since the public has been through out on the cause of the marine people —our old allies, to whom we are so nearly bound by the late happy Royal marriage. To the ordinary horrors of battle are superadded the sufferings caused by cold; and in spite of the hardihood of the people, it will be a severe trial to the health and fortitude of the strongest to brave exposure during the bitter nights of a northern winter. This trouble, although not remediable, can at least be mitigated in its stern effects, and we cannot doubt that English men and women will seize this opportunity of showing that national sympathy for the oppressed and ill used Danes which the supineness or timidity of their Government hinders from more tangible and active expression.

H is comedy, "The Min of the World," earned for him the dis tinction of a membership of the Royal Academy of Madrid. HUNGARIAN WINES.—The soil and climate of Hungary are admirably suited to a successful cul tivation of the grape. Nothing can exceed the grandeur and beauty of its nountains, crowned with sheltering woods and vines of exuberant vegetation. Wherever is seen a lofty hill, there ?ill be found a carefully-tended planta tion. The superb Badscsony mountains encircle the ma jestic lake of Ba'aton, covering a surface of 125 square miles; the aril ned elevated region of Menes, or Vilagos, shelters the rich tales of the Banat,—the holy Canaan of Hungary ; the pyramidal mount of Tokaj, a chaotic and perdurable hndenark, dominates the borders of a vast plain. It is like Vesuvius in form, and its existing yet silent crater points irresistibly to the fact that it was once a fume-consuming phenomenon. The tillage of Euch a leeway isboth troublesome and expensive, the pro duce obtainable ever small ; but then in the latent fire of this volcanic spot lives the peerless Imperial Tokay. The territory exceeds ive miles in length, and covers upwards of 60,000 acres, yielding on an average about 1,250,000 gallons of good ordinary wine ; 375,000 gallons of fair or superior, and 50,030 more of superfine wine ; the two latter sorts only forrairg a medium of external commerce, and finding their wayinto G3rruany, Poland, and Russia.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE, DRURY LANE THEATRE. DEFEAT OF THE PRUSSIANS, SONDERBURG, FEB. 22 (4 41 p.m.) The Prussians this morning, at 7 o'clock, drove Ja the Danish outposts and occupied the village of D appal. They were dislodged by a cannonade from the bastions. "THE DIAN OF THE WORLD." The action lasted four hours. Two Danish regiments were engaged. Two hundred men ate dead and wounded, with many officers. The Prussians left many dead and wounded on the field. The Danish army is in high spirits. SPAIN. NEW CAPTAIN-GENERAL FOR SAN DOMINGO. MADRID, FEB. 22, Evening. General Gondara bas been appointed Captain- General of San Mmingo and Commander-in-Chief of the army there, in place of Gen. Vargas. Steamer and a Prussian Battery. Mr. PhQlps appeared last night as Sir Pertinax Macsycophant, in Macklin's comedy of " The Man of the World," and again showed how completely be has made himself master of the difficulties that encompass the embodiment of the character. Happily the time is passed when a bitter animo sity existed in the minds of the British population residing south of the Tweed against those located on the North; and had it not been that Macklin's comedy presented one strongly marked character, in which George Frederick Cooke and Charles Young in years gone by, and Mr. Phelps at a later period, had so greatly distinguished themselves, it would have been long consigned to oblivion. To those, however, who have not witnessed the Sir Pertinax of Mr. Phelps, an opportunity is pre sented, and of this we aro certain, there can Le but one opinion regarding his representation of the part. It is one of the most complete and wonder ful conceptions ever represented on the stage, and it cannot be witnessed without producing the highest delight in all true lovers of good and legiti mate comedy. The revelation, by Sir Pertinax, of his early life to his son Charles—how he rose from a poor, friendless, ill-paid clerk to the millionaire, the M.P., the friend of the Minister, and the patron of three boroughs returning six members to the Parliament House, is a perfect triumph of histrionic skill, and draws forth, as it unquestionable deserves, the loudest applause. The comedy is, in the other parts, well supported, and the artiste next en titled to high praise is Miss Atkinson, who, as Lady Randolphe Lumbercourt, the spoiled pet of a northern grandmamma, acted with a spirit that was quite refreshing. Mr. G. Melville's Egerton was a very good performance, and the Lord Lumbercourt of Mr. Barrett was also deserving of high commen dation. • Th e entertainments concluded with the gorgeous and still highly attractive pantomime of " Sindbad the Sailor," which from present appear ances, did the arrangements of the management permit, would maintain its paitioa in tho bill for months and months yet to come. _ _ A very clever contrivance has been adapted here 'or the prevention of accidents from fire from con- Act with the "fl3ats." The lights aro now all fenced off. The burners are enclosed in wire globes; and while all apprehension for the suture is entirely removed, the protection is not the least obstruction of a good view of the stage. It is to bo hoped that other managers will practically follow the example of Messrs. Falconer and Chatterton, in preference to resting satisfied with merely expressing their con dolence or sympathy after an accident has, occurred. Engagement Between a Dalthh Iron-clad The following details of the engagement between a Danish iron-clad steamer and a Prussian battery at Alsnoer, on the 18th inst., have been received:— " The Danish iron-plated steamer Rolf Krake came in eight this morning at nine o'clock, when the rifled gnns (12 -pounders) belonging to the 2d Magdeburg Battery were hastily placed in position to receive the vessel. The fire was opened by half a battery of these guns at Holnis, and was kept up quickly. The vessel did not deign to reply, but stationed herself opposite the other half battery at Alsnoer, and opened fire. Their intention was to first silence the battery and then to destroy the pontoon bridge at Ekensund, by the construction of which the Duppel defences were liable to be attacked in flank. It was a moment of intense expectation as the armour-plated monster stationed herself at a distance of 1,500 paces, and opened fire from three heavy guns. The battery at Holnis could do nothing with the vessel; and if her plates could withstand the fire of the Alsnoer battery, the pontoon bridge was given up as lost. Whilst the artillery officers were discussing the distance, a 64- pounder came over the battery from the vessel, and the distance was estimated at 1,500 yards. The first gun from the battery proved that the vessel was only 1,400 yards Gff, and as soon as the elevation of the guns was properly adjusted their fire became ex ceedingly accurate, but the vessel replied with great precision from her revolving turret, and with the mortars from her after deck. Her balls also flew over the battery, and caused much injury in the village and the facings of the fortifications, besides lodging in the roof of the magazine, demolishing the residence of the captain of artillery, and knock ing to pieces several pontoons which were placed in the rear of the village. The firing lasted for an hour and a half, but was slowly maintained towards the close by the battery, which, however, at length poured in a well aimed volley. The ironclad seemed to feel the effect of this, for she seemed to ride deeper in the water, her firing was inaccurate, and at last, after receiving, as it was supposed, 40 balls, she slowly steamed away into the open sea past Holnis, whence she was fired at by the other battery, and did not reply. It was thought that she had sustained much damage in the after part; and as the men were seen to be at work at the pumps, it was clear that there was a considerable leak. As soon as she was without range of the land battery she lay to, apparently to remair damages." Another account states that the ironclad was the Esbern-Snare. THE Inisrt NATIONAL GALLEY, recently opened, .consists of a picture gallery on the upper floor, and a sculpture gallery beneath it, each about 200 feet long. Of the pictures in the former 71 have been obtained by purchase, 31 on loan from the trustees of the London Gal lery, and 25 have been presented. An oil colour portrait of Lady Morgan, and the Taylor collection of water-colour drawings, 103 in number, have been bequeathed. A collec tion of castes from the antique forms an important feature in this gallery. It has been obtained by private subscrip tions and donations. The cost defrayed by Parliamentary grants bas been £21,000, to which £5,000 has been added by the Dargan Committee. A portrait of Mr. Dargan, by Mr. Catterson Smith, has been placed in it, MR.

SIIAKSPERE'S PERSONALTTY.—We hear that an English poet, of some reputation, whose name will doubt- less be mentioned in due time, is engaged on an article for the Qua,. lerly Review, to be published in April, on the " Personality of Shakspere," apropos, we believe, of the numerous works published on this subject of late years by Lord Campbell, Miss Bacon, Mr. Thorns, and others.

THE PRESERVATION OF PICTURES.—The two numbers of the Art Tourna% for the present year contain excellent articles, by Mr. Pyne, on the preservation of pic tures painted in oil colours, principally in reference to var nishing and on preventing cracks. He urges the general propriety of varnishing pictures, but is not much in favour of covering with glass. It is not, he contends, a preserver of the beauty of tha picture, although it may be of its ma terial, from accidents, for newly-painted works suffer cones derabls for the want of free accsss of the air. AUTOGRAPHS AND POSTAGE STAMPS.—Collectors of postige stamps are now supplied with four separate pub lications issued for their sole use. Gatherers of autographs are about to be similarly catered for in the Autographic Merror, the first number of which was published last Satur • day.

The Cabinet of Vienna has issued the following circular despatch to its diplomatic agents at the courts of the various Federal princes : " VIENNA, Feb. 13. " At its sitting of the 11th inst., the Federal Die resolved to vote within 14 days upon the proposi tions sent in by a committee bearing upon the Lon don treaty of May, 1852. Simultaneously with these proposals, a separate vote of Austria and Prussia had been submitted to the high Federal Governments, which deduces from the rightful and actual position of afflirs the irrefutable conclusion that, as it is admitted the London treaty is not bind ing upon the German Diet, the majority of the committee has nat had any occasion to make of the mere denial of this treaty a separate portion of the examination of the succession question with which it was entrusted, and to request of the Federal Diet a vote by which nothing whatever would be gained towards deciding the disputed question. " If the vote which the majority of the commit- tee, notwithstanding our repeated earnest represen tions, desires of the Federal Assembly appeared to us simply as a superfluous but innocuous matter, or if our apprehensions were limited to such vote having in reality no further meaning than a demon stration against the two great German Powers, we should be satisfied with having already explained our difference of opinion in the abovementioned se parate vow. We could in any case, if the resolu tions proposed by the committee were really taken, perfectly secure our own position ty the declara tion that absolutely no alteration would thereby be made in the position of affairs. " But the four proposals of the majority, even if entirely ineffective as regards the question of right, might upon that account very easily produce in the political sphere the effects of an intentional chal lenge, and without all cause as without all use, to a certain extent force from the non-German Powers decisive counter-declarations in favour of the Lon don treaty. It cannot require demonstration that after the outbreak of hostilities in Sleswig, the re sponsibility for a proceeding must be doubly grave by which the tension already existing in the rela tions between the great Powers should be volun tarily increased without any reason in the nature of the subject. " This consideration has determined us to express through you to the Government to whom you have the honour to be accredited, the especial wish that it will not give its assent to the propositions of the majority of the committee, but will pronounce itself upon the entire succession question entrusted to the committee for examination. This course may be considered the leas objectionable, as the second por tion of the report drawn up by the represtntativo of Bavaria to the Diet has been already presented in its entirety, and it is only requisite to read the final proposals to be convinced that they nowhere presuppose a separate expression of opinion as to the ineffectiveness of the London treaty, can ba accepted or declined without any such expression. "Although we, for our parts, maintain that the portion of the question resting upon Federal right is led back to its true point of issue by the Anstro *Prussian separate vote, we remark finally that even a Government not fully concurring in the individual deductions of that vote would not be prevented from voting against the separation of the final conclusion into one negative and one positive half, as has been already done by the ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg of the Federal Diet. " Your Excellency will not fail to communicate this present note to the G)vernment.— Accept, &C.,. " BECIIBERG." BRIGHTON ELECTION, TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
