SECRETARY (pro tern.)—Mr. George Stephens. This Company is established for the purpose of extending to British Columbia and Vancouver Island principles of business that have long since been adopted in other colonies With very beneficial results both to the English capitalist and the local property holder. The Company will rais e mone y s on d e b entures on its own Credit, on terms prevalent in this market, and will apply the moneys so obtained to mortgage of real estate or other secu rities of a substantial and productive character in the two colonies, at the much higher rates procurable there. When it is mentioned that m British Columbia and Vancouver Island from 12 to 16 per cent. per annum is regarded as a fusourable ratePf-jutetest at whAleto b rrow money on un exceptionable seetnities, it wil at once be Sbeiirow consider able is the margin of profit that will arise to the Company under thi-4 head. Tne acquirement of property by purchase, to a limited ex tent, whether from the Government direct or from private owners, will also, in cases presenting' the prospect of advan tageous and early resale, have attention from the Company— It is considered that the Government of the two colonies may be induced, in consideration of the encouragement which the Company will have the opportunity of offering to immigra tion, to accord grants of land to the Company under regulated cond tions of settlement. The Company will also act as Agents in all matters of In vestment and Finance as between the home capitalist “nd the colonial property holder. The Company's business in the colonies will be conducted by specially se'ected managers. The securities selected will be subjected to the strictest examination both as to title and value. The debenture holder, under this course of business, will not only have the security of the subscribed capital, but also the entire assets of the Company. The prospects of the shareholders are best exemplified by the large returns on capital obtained by the shareholders of aituilar institutions. - The - effect an Co un mp ion an wy ith has taken powers whi c h w ill ena b le it to any other Company jects many of the Krilish Norn American col havin o g nkiies.n dred ob- The Board of the C ompanyconsists of gentlemen who have nies either applied the same p r i nc i ples of business to other solo , or who, from their connection with the North American possessions, will be regarded as authorities upon the subject ol Colonial securities. As fields fo r i nvestment British Columbia and Vancouver Island may be said to be unsurpassed in advantages. The , lise and progress of these colonies have been most rapid ; the Im ports into th e port of Victoria (Vancouver Isla,ncb alene nuring the six months ending June, 1863, were 1,861,513 do's., being an excess over those of the first half of the pre vious year of upwards of 160, ,, e0 dots. The value of property .I_l Vancouver island has more than doubled during the last ;three Years. The agricultural capacity of British Columbia IS now also fast attracting attention.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great ; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avave average value ; whil s t around the Coast there are extensive Fiseries, and an unlimit e d supp l y o f Sea weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of la nd - carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation ; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any productid from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite tear St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dook Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. aoht's, where the C our t s o f T ynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brcught by land-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas Peel, Castlet own , Ramsey, an d L axey t Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedieus, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the Mend in large numbers, above 100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the eslubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per manent place of residence. Rer Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much Care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic evia re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7.500 per annum. Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c and Mails l6O Working Expens es a t even 50 per Cent£l3lso . 6,,500 Leaving for Dividend ................ ZG,650 ---- Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy- charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can not, iu any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. Au eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount Paid upon shares. An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon_obtained from Bible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years. POrtn g o f Application for Shares may be the secretary, Sohoi.,, , ^ra, or Itrokere of the Company. --...,..._ 1 ,_,7___,4, -.-'= N°. 22,379. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1864.

This Company is ,formed for the purpose of carrying* out concessions for making and working Tramways in the King dom of Holland and adjacent statns. A concession for a rt ruble Tramway from the Hague to Scheveningue (the Brighton of Holland) has already been obtained on fay. ur able terms, and a contract has been concluded with respon sible English contractors, by which they undertake to pur chase the land, to make the lines, and provide all the rolling stock, horses, &c., for the sum of £lO,OOO. The remaining £lO,OOO will be required for a working o - pital. The works are in active progress, and will be completed and bronght into operation in the eeurse of the month of May next. The line will commence in the princiral square in the town of the Hague, and follow the ordinary route to Scheveningue returning by another route, vii, the Canal and Zoological Gardens, to the same station, being a total length of about seven English miles. Scheveningue, the only marine suburb In Holland, is re sorted oby large numbers of visitors, chiefly from Amster dam, Rotten/ am, Utrecht, and other towns. From minute information furnished by the town authori ties, the number of vehicles employed in this t:affic has been ascertained to make I tu.o. 0 journeys a year, each co.:veyirg on nil average six persons, and the total numb-r of visitors now enteringScheveningue in carriages and on foot amounts to about 4,' 00,0 0 a year; of these it may fairly be estimated that one-fourth will travel by the Tramway. In addition thereto, about 20,000 tons of fish, merchandise, and provisions are carried annually between the Hague and Scheveningue, 0 which it is assumed that one-halt at least will be carried by the Tramway. From existing sources of traffic an annual income of at least £20,00 may safely be calculat, d upon. Prom carefully prepared estimates of the cost of horse keep. wa -es, repairs, and every contingency, the general re sult is that a net dividend of not less than 15 per cent. on the proposed capital may fairly he relied upon. A large number of shares has already b en subscribed for in Holland, which furnishes a proof of the high estimation in which this undertak ng is held by the Dutch people. Ap plications for the remaining shares may be made to the Brokers, or to the secretary, at the Offices, 10, Cannon-street, but no application will be considered unless accompanied ty a deposit of £1 per share; should no allotment be made to the applicant, this sum will Ito returned in full. riIHE CITY OFFICES COMPANY (Limited).

While Exchange Banks mai Credit Institu'ions have been established to connect this country financially with almost every foreign market, and to give fact Pies for conveying to our shores every descrii tion of merchandi e, it is remarkable that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the monetary facilities are w;thdrawn. The bills drawn upon our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer chant's capital unaided, or by sales. 'I hu , , when tempo rarily there is an excess of any co umodity imported, its price is undu y deprr , sed, and s riou losses are incurre•'. Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad vances upon merchandise, having no organisation for exa mining the goods and correct y estimating their value. What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable.. - To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow ledge, the Warrant Banking Company is formed. The busi ness of the Company will mainly consist in making (Iv nces upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow fo r d eprec i at i on. These advan"es will be made in a ceptances by the Com p •ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re present mer handise readily convert ble, and b at the same time secured by the whole ca ha' of a powerful Company, the exact position of which will be patent to al', there can be no doubt that the whole Dis ount Market will be availablewhen it is desired by VI- holder to turn the bill into cish. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an Institution, while it will be of great service to merchants, and increase the stability of the entire class, will be an equal con venience to bankers and ctiscount firms, furnishing them with a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company will be invested, and, so far as practicable, remain invested in British and East Indian Government securities, and upon deposit at call, and it is proposed that the capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of at least .£200,000. The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of foreign impor a for the past year, which amounted (not to speak of home produce) to over £200,00,000. If we estimate the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as equal to three months' consumption, it would represent an amount of £50,000,000. Advances may also be made when deemed advisable noon Stocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con vertible. A re 'sonable proportion will always be maintained be tween the extent of business undertaken and the calied-up capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated, simply as a guarantee fund. Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Sze. &a The. Directors will not receive any remuneration until the Shareholders have been paid £5 per cent, by way of dividend on their paid-up capital. Atter payment of 5 per cent. the Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits. No promotion money will be paid for originating this un dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the necessary disbursements Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained. of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered un'ess a deposit of £1 per share has been preying -ly p id to the bankers of the Company. In the event of no a lotment being made the depositwill be returned without deduction, and should the number allotted be l'ss than the number applied for, the payment in excess will be applied towards the balance of the deposit. The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied by the Colonial Insurance Compsny, containing only 1,080 feet, sold to a well-known Banker for .£30,000, subject to a ground-rent of £6OO per annum, for 61 years, which, allow ing as in former calculations for purchase of freehold, and deducting the value of new buildings thereon, gives £37 per square foot. - The Leasehold Premises in Finch-lane, lately occupied by the London and Middlesex Bank, containing only 610 feet, realised £10,0; 0, and this subject to a ground-rent of £5,0 per annum, which, allowing ior purchase of freehold,' and deducting value of new building, gives about 430 per square foot. It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea lised, as they undoubtedly can be, on land costing £2O, £3 , and £37 per foot respectively, the prospects and probable profits of those acquired by this Company, costing only £9 per foot, will be evident at first sight ; if they were re-sold .at even the lowest of these three quotations, it would leave the City Offices Company (Limited) a very large profit on the cost. The Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting such of these premises as may be suitable, and erecting new buildings on the remainder, the whole to be let off as Offices suitable for Banks, large Companies. or Commercial and Professional Firms ; and from calculations made, based upon moderate rentals, a return of from 15 to 20 per cent. on the outlay may be fairly relied on. The Company will also from time to time acquire other properties, as the opportunities present themselves, for the purpose of re-sale or otherwise. By the issue of Debentu' es or otherwise, the paid-up Share Capital will be kept at the lowest possible point. It is believed that as an essentially Home Investment, one so secure, and at the same time so remunerative, is rarely brought to the notice of the public, being wholly free from the speculative character incidental to many joint-stock en terprises; the model on which the business operations will be conducted will be that of Gresham House Chambers, in Old Broad-street. City Bank Chambers, Threadneedle-street. and County Chambers, Lombard-street, the success of which is well known, the only difference being, that whilst those properties are in the hands of a few capitalists, the proper ties acquired by this Company will be distributed over a large body of Shareholders, which will thus put investors of mode rate means in the same position to reap the advantages of large returns on City property, which the magnitude of the amounts required has hitherto made itimpossible to any but very wealthy men to undertake. In the a , lot vent of Shares, a proportion will be reserved for applicants who are Shareholders in the Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), and the Credit Fonder (Limited) ; the remainder will be distributed among the general public. In the event of no allotment of Shares being made, the de posit will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment due on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares in the form annexed may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, at the Offi:.es of the Mercantile Credit Asso ciation (Limited), 21, Threadneedle-street; and the Credit Foncier (Limited), 80, Lombard-o treet ; also of the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, and Secretary.

STAMPED:....Sd. THE WAR IN DENIVIARII. (From the limes Spee;al Correspondent with the Danish Army.) DANISH HEADQUARTERS, SONDERBORG, March 9. We begin at last to see some symptoms of acti vity on the part of the Prussians, I was out to day on horseback, and stood at the outposts on the summit of the Avnbjerg, a hill rising on the left of the road, at about an English mile from the bastions at Dybbol. Up to the present moment the Danes are strongly posted on the Avnbjerg, and will certainly not give it up without con test. Standing close to the Danish pickets on the brow of this hill, I could distinctly see, across the waters of the Vemmingbund, all along the crest of the Broager peninsula, swarms of Prussians, busy throwing up the earth, apparently rearing trenches previous to placing their batteries in position. Great efforts are made by them at the same time to raise earthworks at Ragebol, on the right of the Danish position. They evidently aim at an attack on the two wings of the Danish line, well knowing that they could have no chance of success against the formidable centre. While, however, the Prussians are, after more than a month, only making ready for action, the Austrians in Jutland are doing their own share of the work with that same briskness and willingness whichthey displayed in their operations at the Dan newerk. We have somewhat more minute perti lars of the skirmishes before Fredericia, to which I alluded at the close of my last letter, and what we hear to-day is not calculated altogether to allay the fears which were yesterday entertained as to the safety of that Jutland stronghold. Fredericia lies at the mouth of that Sound which, winding inland between the coast of Jutland and that of the island of Funen, widens as it advances southward, and forms what is called the " Little Belt," a branch of the sea parting the island of Funen from the mainland of Schleswig and the Isle of Alsen. After entering inland at Fredericia, and winding from Erritso on the mainland on the right to Middlefart on the Funen side on the left, the Sound continues its meandering course between the lands till it reaches the little islet of Fanoe, where it throws a branch westward, forming an inlet which bears the name of Kolding-fiord, and which from its mouth near Fanoe up to the town itself of Kolding constitutes the boundary line between Jutland and Schleswig. The town of Fredericia, which was built for the express pur pose of guarding the entrance of the Little Belt, lies on the southern coast of a little peninsula, bathed, on this side, by the water of the Sound, on the east by the broad sea, and on the north by the Veile-fiord, and by a smaller inlet which is only a branch of it, and bears the name of Rands-fiord, or Little Strand. The town or fortress itself is built upon a point, in a fanlike or triangular shape, having a " kastel" or citadel at its apex on the sea, and for a base inland a long circular continuous line of ten bastions, built close upon one another. The two sides of the triangle on the sea are also partly walled, and strengthened by stout bastions. Immediately beyond the bastions, on the western side, the town has low grounds which can be inun dated for a considerable distance, and formed in 1849 a ditch which bore the name of Oversvo• melso. This ditch runs inland for above an English mile, considerably beyond the extent of the town, with which it lies as it were at a tangent, protecting it on the side of Erritso and Stourstrup. Besides the batteries at the Kastel at Fredericia, so situated as to give the place a full com mand of the Sound, the entrance to this narrow strait is also protected on the iFunen sides by two batteries at Strib, a point lying almost immediately to the south of the Kastel, right opposite to it, at less than an English mile's distance ; and further on, where the Sound becomes still narrower, and where it is crossed by a ferry between Middlefart and Snoghoi, by , a long row of batteries on the Middle fart or Funen side, so constructed as not only to guard the Strait, but also to sweep the lands across the ferry at Snoghoi. The Austrians hdd hitherto taken up their Posi tions at a considerable distance from Fredericia, and the Danes, with that carelessness which seems to be peculiar to them, and which has caused them some rather important losses in prisoners at Dybbol, had spread their outputs several miles outside the town at Gudso,on the south, close to the Kolding-fiord, and towards the Viola-fiord on the north, occupying thus the neck of the whole, peninsUla. The Austrians appeared in very large forces yesterday, diverting their attacks on Voile on the north, and on the west, through Bredstrup, and through a minor road, which from Havreballegaard converges in the same direction towards the villages of Stoustrup and Erritso. The Danes perceived from the outset that they had to deal with vastly superior forces, and they fell back in the best order, skirmishing even while they yielded ground. The Austrians pushed forward as far as Stoustrup and Erritso, and there established themselves at the distance of less than two English miles from Fredericia. The desultory fire at the outposts cost the Danes about 150 between dead and wounded ; among the latter Gen. Wilster, the Commander-in-Chief at Fredericia, Capt. Hoff man, the Chief of the Staff, and two officers of the Staff. A shell fell close to where the General stood, killed his horse, and stretched him on the ground with two wounds, and prostrated also Capt. Hoff man with a wound in the leg, which will neces sitate amputation, and may, it is feared, cost the brave officer his life. While the main force of the third Danish division were thus effecting their retreat, Capt. Taue, who was with his com pany posted at Gudso, receiving no timely intima tion of the movements of the enemy, tarried on the spot till, by the occupation of Stoutrup and Erritso, the Austrians had cut off his retreat. Aware at last of his critical position, he advanced on the high road in the direction of Snoghoi, whence he might hope to cross over to Middlefart, but was soon hem• med in and overpowered by the enemy, to whom, after a gallant resistance, he had to surrender with the whole of his company, about 200 men. It is thus that the Danes, without as yet having run the chances of a decisive encounter, have in this unfortunate war suffered losses which their in feriority of numbers renders almost irreparable. It is calculated that no less than 500 men were put hors de combat at Missunde, Bustrup, and the other combats at the Dannewerk ; about 1,000 were among the killed, wounded, or missing in the re treat, and no less than 500 or 600 more have either fallen or have been taken prisoners in the defence of Dybbol and Fred ericia. On the whole, the Danish army is certainly less strong by 2,000 com batants than it was at the opening of the war, when it Blustered no more than 30,000. No doubt, the losses of the Austrians and Prussians have been throughout fully as severe, but they can better afford it. Fresh masses of troops, with immense materiel, are coming up daily. The Germans, who have such good grounds to feel sure of victory, spare no pains to make that assurance doubly sure, and hop e b y redoubling their efforts to come twice as soon to the end of their enterprise. According to the latest intelligence from Jutl an d , it would seem that the Austrians, satisfied With their success, have again fallen back from the position they had taken up at Stoustrup and Erritso. Eve n the affair at Fredericia may be looked upon as a mere reconnaissance in force. MARCIE 10. The official papers at Copenhagen contain a de tailed account of the losses suffered by the various corps of the army from the Ist to the 22d of Feb ruary. From this it Wiil be seen that the statement contained in my yesterday's letter was rather below than above the mark. The losses above-mentioned amount, according to the official authorities, to 43 officers and two army surgeons, dead or wounded; and 1,930 rank and file dead, wounded or missing. Of course, these numbers only extend tv the 224 Director, Mr. F. Jonghmana. UNSWORTH and EUGENE will make their re-appear. tune This Evening. -Comedy, by Mr. T. Maelqgan, W. Randall, G. nntehenson G.

A, deputation from the London Trades Council waited yesterday by appointment on the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, at his official residence in Downing-street, with reference to the proposed Government Annuities Bill. The deputation consisted of Mr. Odgers, secretary of the Council; Mr. Applegarth, secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters ; and Mr. Coulson, secretary of the Bricklayers' Society. The deputation was accompanied by Thomas Hughes, Esq, Mr. HuGnEs having briefly introduced the deputation, Mr. ODGERS said himself and his colleagues attended there not so much to discuss the merits or demerits of the proposed Government Annuities Bill as to disabuse the mind of the right hon. gentleman as to there being any organised opposition to it on the part of the trade societies, Ho denied that trade societies as a body had been represented at the late meeting at Exeter-hall, and said they did not oppose the Annuities Bill. He also protested against the declara tion of the right hon, gentleman that they were bodies existing for the purpose of coercing their fellow-workmen. Although he believed a majority of the members of trade socities and of the working classes generally were in favour of the bill, it was opposed by a large section of them who had no confidence in the Government who had deceived them on the question of the franchise. This was a sore point with thousands of the working classes. _ Mr. ATPLEGAITU and Mr. COULSON made similar ob servations. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed the pleasure he felt at hearing the explanations and statements of the deputation. He had felt convinced from the first that the great majority of the working classes were favourable to the principles of the Annuities Bill. With regard to his remarks upon the Exeter-hall meeting, and the action of trade societies, they had been much curtailed in the news paper reports, and thus made to appear more harsh than they really were. He, however, had certainly been under the impression that trade societies were generally coercive bodies towards the minority, and had expressed himself to that effect. He was pleased to hear they were not so, at least to the extent he had supposed, and would take an early opportunity of stating his opinion in Parliament. He entirely conceded the right of the workmen to combine in a union in defence of their wages as the only means they had of defending themselves against the power of capital ; but at the same time he contended for the right of every man to sell his labour on what terms he chose. He thought the remarks of Mr. Odgers respecting the franchise perfectly justifiable. There was no doubt the Liberal party in the House of Commons had failed in their duty in this respect towards the working classes, to whom he thought the fran chise should be extended, and about which he should shortly have something to say in the house. He regretted that the class who had obtained their franchise through the efforts of the working classes should seem so little disposed to admit them to the same privilege. He then went on to explain and defend the Annuities Bill, and said it was an absurdity to say it was opposed to self-government. No man eras compelled to embrace its benefits; and if he did, he could do that for himself which now required a most cumbrous, expensive, and insecure machin er y t o per f orm. He was glad to hear the trade societies did not oppose the bill, which he believed, as it became better known, would be more appre ciated. The deputation, after some further remarks, then with drew, thanking the right hon. gentleman for his courtesy. M.

Prom the Ist of February to the 20th the British and foreign press were represented at the Danish headquarters by your own correspondent alone. I and two of the gentlemen belonging to the Copen hagen j.-Jurnals made up the whole of the reporters' staff at Schleswig, and all along the disastrous march from that place to this_ Since the last-named date correspondents have come in in great force, not only representatives of the London press, but also lively essayists and feuilletonists from Paris, men who come here wild with the expectation to see a fight, but who soon find it is themselves who have to fight with bad accommodation, worse fare, and the unconquerable weariness and unprofitabless of existence. Not a few are those who turn tail against such formidable antagonists, and quit Sonderborg only two or three days after their arrival. A man , must have no common luck if he finds as mu c h " a bed or a sofa at any of the hotels or private houses about town. And eten when a room is to be had twenty to one the hapless wight is driven out of it by noise and discomfort, and, above all things, by the all-pervading, all-smothering, abominable dirt. Some of these strangers, of a more adventurous, or, as they believed, more practical turn of mind, thought that ikey had hit on a capital expedient by repairing to liodes walls—i.e., taking up their quarters in some of the steamers, several of which are always moored alongside the wharves, as con venient for ail purposes of business in Sonderborg as any of the best houses in the centre of the town; but since it happened to one of them, on kis return from a jolly party late at night, to find that his abode had put up steam and was off hours before, taking away with her his dear bags and portman teaus, and leaving him to spend the night in the muddy streets as he best could, a steamer has been voted a very poor makeshift, and only to be valued on the principle which determined Dr. Johnson's preference for " the best thing in Scotland"—i.e., as a means of getting out of this. Were there no better chance of active warfare than we have had for the last month, or than we have at present, this distressingly dull place would wear out the most heroic powers of endurance, and I greatly doubt whether devotion to their duty on the part of the non-Danish press, or even the sense of patriotism on the part of the Danish, would give any of us patience to abide here another week. It is perfectly killing work, and the reading public we humbly suppose would be no gainers by our utter extinction. HEALTH OP THE METROPOLIS, (From tke Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The number of deaths in London in the week that ended on Saturday was 1,664, which is less by 100 than that of the previous week. The deaths under 20 years of age declined from 778 to 759 ; those at 20 and under 60 years decreased from 564 to 474 ; while the deaths at a more advanced age were of nearly the same amount in the two weeks. The average number of deaths for the tenth week of the years 1854.63 is, with a correction for in• crease of population, 1,449. The present return exhibits an excess of 215 over the number estimated for a week in the early part of March. The deaths from scarlatina were fewer than they had been in many previous weeks—they declined to 44; those from typhus to 53. Of 39 fatal cases of measles 5 occurred in the east sub-district of Isling. ton, 4iu Saffron-hill, Bin Green sub-district of Bethnal-green. Bronchitis numbered 280 deaths in the week, the corrected average being 169 ; plithisis, or consump tion, 192 deaths against 170. It will be observed that both these diseases, but particularly bronchitis, are fatal at the p7esent time. Pneumonia, which caused 100 deaths, is not more fatal than usual. An infant, aged 2 weeks, died from being bandaged too tightly. Four persons are returned as killed by street vehicles; two persons were run over and killed by locomotive engines --namely, one at Putney on the sth inst., and one on the Crystal Palace line on the 7th inst. A woman, aged GO years, died from want of nourishment and clothing on the 21st of February at 1, King's-head-court, Shoreditch ; another, aged 46, on the day following, from the same cause, at 6, Royston-street, Bethnal-green. On the 4th of March a child, aged 13 months, died in the House of Correction, Wandsworth, from "erysipelas arising from the want of proper nutrition." Ten nonagenarians died in the week; also a lady, who is registered as having died on the 7th of March, at the extraordinary age of 106 years, at her house in Lee-road. Last week the births of 1,013 boys and 949 girls --in all 1,962 children—were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854. 63 the average number (corrected) is 2,076. • The Registrar-Genneral has recently brought under the notice of the authorities of the great cities of Europe a plan for securing returns of diseases and of the weather simultaneous with those of Lon don. Vienna, which is the seat of one of the greatest medical schools of Europe, has already responded to his application, and he expects to receive from that city a regular series of returns, which cannot fail to afford interesting comparisons with those of London. Vienna is about to adopt many of the sanitary improvements which have proved efficacious in England; and Dr. Glatter, a most zealous officer of the City Council, will be able to measure their effects on the reigning disease and the rate of mor tality. The deaths in Vienna during the week that ended on Saturday, February 27, were 387—namely, 253 at home, and 134 in the hospitals ; 10 of typhus, 7 of smallpox, 3 of scarlatina, 7 of measles, none of whooping•cough, 6 of croup, 1 of diphtheria, 93 of cdnsumption, 34 of tubercular meningitis (called hydrocephalus often in the London returns), 50 if pulmonary inflammation, 23 of diarrhoea, 5 of dy. ssntery, 1 of accident; 5 woman died of childbirth to 6 in London, The mean temperature was 39 deg, in Vienna, and 33 deg. in London, At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, th e mean week was 29.252 in. w 29in. on t h e f i rst 2881. on M onday, heightfour Themd 3eyea days. daily ih b ye a rhroeemiagtelhti ding barometer was se the be e e tl 00 and rose to 30.06 in. on Saturday.

The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 84, complete saturation being represented by 100. The wind, which had been previously in the south west and north-east, blew on the last three days from a south-westerly point.
