It almost invariably so happens, when a great Parliamentary battle is coming off, that there quietly appears some day a Perfectly unobtrusive little result paragraph among t he notic es of mot i on, upon t h e of which the fate of an Administration is de pendent.

At this somewhat critical juncture in Party History, when the contest for power so long impending has become at length very imminent, one is apt to turn with jealous regard to our examination from day to day and from week to wr-ek of the various little notices of motion, out of the discussion of which a certain momentous Divi- Sion might arise, one of those Divisions upon the announcemen t Of the issue of which the going out at.tl the coming in of a Government would depend. Last evening, in the House of Commons, precisely one of these indications of a comin g tempest was recog nisable, as it appears to us, just dimly emerging above the politi ca l horizou—a portent, gs the phrase is, no bigger than a man's hand—but one that, like so many a storm-cloud, may pcssibly, beforo we have become well aware of the change, completely overshadow us, Yesterday, then, almost immediately after the meeting of the House, as tho first among the notices of motion appeared the following : "DENMARK. "Lord RODKRT CECIL—I be to give notice that on Friday next I intend to call attention to some of the papers recently laid on the table of the house with reference to the Danish question, and to move tor certain papers and parts of despatches omitted therefrom- Apparently a trivial motion—that is to a superfi cial observer. A mere intimation of an intention to move for certain papers and parts of despatches omitted from the Danish correspondence already laid upon the table of the House. A small matter, surely, some one think ; yet one upon which the whole question, as to the Foreign policy of the Government as at present constituted, is really dependent. Unless something or other in the chapter of accidents should arise to lead to an additional postponement of a discussion that must, sooner or later, be commenced in genuine earnest—out of that no►ice of motion by the noble lord, the member for Stamford, the whole matter of debate ought to come. A new turn in the diplomatic negotiations still dawdling and maundering on—an unlooked-for despatch from the seat of war in the north of Europe—the mere proximity just now of the Easter holidays threaten ing either to shorten inconveniently any discussion now adventured upon, or to interrupt the debate by the unseemly hiatus of the recess—anyone out of a variety of such circumstances or of such considera tions may, it is quite true, pluck the sting out of that notice of motion yesterday brought under the ob servation of the House by Lord ROBERT CECIL, second son of the second Marquis of SALISBURY, M.P. for the borough of Stamford, and possibly— it might perhaps be said, but that he has his crotchets, and don't in the least like leading strings, probably—•uember without a seat in the Cabinet of the next Cmservative Administration. For such as it is, there is the motion. And out of that motio❑ there might readily enough come the Debate and the Division. Whether these will come from it, is another question altogether. There, at any rate, is the opportunity. if Ministers, for example, upon the plea of the urgent necessity yet awhile for some reticence upor. diplomatic matters, in re gard to a subject of European import still actually, if not actively, in negotiation—if Ministers, we say, upon this plea, a plea that unquestionably does admit, to a very considerable extent, of justification, were distinctly to oppose the motion, while the Opposition, perhaps, as distinctly determined to support it—out wou d cime the whole long pent-up tornado, the whole furious hurricane of debate from opposite directions ! Then, indeed, would come the Tug of War and, in the end—after the discussion had fairly exhausted itself—then would come the supreme turning point upon whose extreme edge would rest, in momentary oscil lation, the balance of the Division. Would ? Will !—if Ministers, that is to say, do not con trive to evade the difficulty by again blinking it through the dodging device of a yet further and further postponerilent. Lord ROBERT CECIL'S motion is down for Friday evening. Unless it is shirked by Ministers or set aside by some unexpected casualty, something ought to come of it. It ought at least to open up for the House of Commons the long delayed opportunity by which an end might at length be put to this obscuring and muddling np of the whole policy, both home and foreign, but more particularly of the foreign policy, by the pseudo-Liberal Government. A. Go vernment that—itshould now beremembered—came in upon one dodge, and may yet (consistent with itaelf to the last) endeavour to evade destruction by another. A Government that rose to power upon Lord JOHN RussELL's Resolutions, and that threatens now to sink from it because Earl RUSSELL has no resolution whatever. There are few questions more irritating than the manner in which the prize -money is distributed to the army and navy, Lord CHELMSFORD very pro• perly called attention to the Kertch and Yenikale prize -money, which certainly bids fair to be long cited as a specimen of unfair proceeding even amidst so much that is faulty and unsatisfactory. There seems a fate about this Kertch distribution. For some reason or another the Government have sat their faces from the beginning against this well-merited claim, and inch by inch they have fought every step of the way in the struggles that have been made to recover for the captors their well-earned, hard fought-for possession. For some time objections were raised against the recognition of the claim ; and as Lord CHELMSFORD explained last night, great wrong was done in rot permitting the injured parties to vindicate their cause in the Admiralty Court. Some absurd legal technicality was put forward, and thus the only chance of re dress was shut out from them. However, in this instance, as in many similar ones, the voice of pub lic opinion, and the debates in both Houses of the Legislature, obtained that justice which a recusant Government refused to grant the soldiers of the country. The sum granted was thus voted, " for the officers and men employed in the expedition to Kertch and Yenikale." Here another anomaly took place, and the Admiralty hastened to undo as much as possible what good had been effected. They had permission to decide upon any doubtful ques tion as to the distribution, whereupon they founded the right and arrogated to themselves the power to settle the whole of the distribution. As might be expected in consequence of this, more injustice was perpetrated, and many deserving individuals de prived of their just remuneration. Lord CIIELMS. FORD was at great pains to explain the exact nature of the injuries inflicted, and the losses sustained, in consequence of the interference of the Admiralty. Lord LYONS, instead of receiving two-thirds, only got half, and thus lost £437, while the remaining moiety was divided away. Sir IL STEWART, who should have received one-third, and three other admirals—Who were never in the expedition at all —for Admiral BOXER was at Balaclava, Admiral STOPF ORD at Malta, and Sir FREDERIC GREY at Constantinople. Was ever anything more prepos terous or inimical to the bast interests of the ser vice? This was a parliamentary grant accorded to the men who took part in a special expedition, and the Board of Admiralty took upon themselves the task of distribution as if it had bt en an ordinary a ffair of prize money. Such grost , injustice and extre nao incon s i stency oug h t not to pass over with out noti ce , and the country CIIELM D for thus SFOR ak u the case, and making it c l ear to the ting p , uonr i n s ebted to Lord chief e i rcum , tancee in by stating the a mbiguities and ora • that the question Plain terms evoid of legal lial oaystifl li catior e proposed h()laid b e d ecid ed b y an im partial tribunal. The Duke of SOMERSET of course declared that all had be 3n done in a right and fitting manner 'but descquently he agreed to consult the law offl cers of the Crown. This is, at all events, something g l 'hied, and it is hoped that the result of the i nv' , stigtions and inquiri es now a b out to be set ce ► "foot wi a ll be that the just claims of the captors et' be taken i n t o consid eration, and the proper ren eel aeration awarded to them. Nothing can be more eVmental to the public service than the mode of procedure adopted in these cases of prize money, There is always some mismanagement prevailing with regard to them, and eternally the voice of complaint issues from the ranks of those who have fought hard, and deserve better treatment from their country, than to have their requital, due to the spoils of many a bloody day, begrudged by the unwilling and cap tious officials who mismanage afftirs at home. If the Government keep the claimants so long out of their prize money, they ought to give interest for it according to all the rules and regulations of monetary transactions. The secret is that the di': tribution is purposely delayed until the latest possible period, in hopes that some may die off, and the relations be too timid or ignorant to assert their rights. If this dilatory course is persisted in much longer, the effect will be that parties engaged in these expeditions will cease to preserve property at all ; soldiers and sailors will be tempted to plunder, and thus possess themselves by private means of the booty which honour, truth, and justice cannot obtain for them in a public form. Amid all the abuses and corruptions of the service this evil arrangement of prize-money stands forth most prominent. It is a disastrous state of affairs, which militates against the spirit of confidence that should prevail among all employed in the service of the country, and more especially those who are engaged in the active branches of it. It is high time that Parliament took up this question in all its details, and settled definitively the rules and regulations to be observed in apportioning the various sums of prize -money, and also should fix a period within which they must be handed over to their recipients. I❑ the event of the non-fulfilment of this under taking, the claimants should have the power of ap pealing against the authorities, without having to wait for their sanction to do so. Until some such stringent measures be adopted, it is idle to expect that any satisfactory solution will be arrived at, or justice rendered to those who so specially require it. The due recognition of the claims of those who fight for their country by sea and land has at all times engaged the attention of those who rightly appreciate the necessity of the case. It is not to be tolerated that in these days a country like England should be unmindful of the services or indifferent to the claims of those who sacrifice themselves for the interests of the community. As might have been anticipated, the report of the joint committee was accepted without a dissentient voice last evening in the lioue of Lords. Lord GRANVILLE, in his brief address on the subject, very clearly and succinctly summed up the prin cipal features of the report, and the grounds upon which the committee based their opinions. Of the twenty-seven bills which threatened to invade the metropolis no less than one-third are set aside, leaving, however, eighteen still upon the list. But though even the lesser number appears somewhat formidable, supposing them all to obtain the sanc tion of the Lower House, there is no longer cause for anxiety and alarm on the subject. The schemes still suffered to go forward are of a comparatively harmless nature, many of them being merely exten sions of lines already i❑ active existence, and others having the principal part of their operations in those suburban districts, where there is more room and thinner population, and consequently altera tions and demolitions create less disturbance and do ES9 mischief. On the other hand the rejected schemes were all fnr traversing the busy cent►es of London life. They were to make the vast highway from Oxford -•street to the City, and from Pimlico eastwards, the subjects of an extensive experiment, to concentrate their forces amid the bustle and business of Charing-cross, and to bring Father Thames himself into subjection by flinging over him no less than four bridges. The committee, according to Lord GRANVILLE, divided the railways into three classes, the first being the schemes which are only improvements of existing undertakings ; the second those which contribute to the formation of the Inner Circuit, recommended last year; and the third, including those plans which should not be pursued at all, at least this year. With regard to the rejection of those schemes which would have formed part of the Outer Circuit, Lord GRANVILLE observed that the committee were still of opinion that such a circuit was desirable; but, from the evidence brought before them during their investi gation, they are inclined to think that such an object can be obtained more easily and less objec tionably than by their means. By connecting the existing railways on the eastern side of the metro• polis with one another the circle will be virtually complete, without additional lines, and this end would be easily attained by using the long unem ployed Thames Tunnel as a means of communication between the Great Eastern and Blackwell lines on the Middlesex side, and the South-Eastern on the Surrey side of the Thames, We should hope that these Companies might come to some 'satisfac tory arrangement among themselves, by which such a plan could be carried into effect without delay, thus obviating the necessity of adding to the ❑umber of metropolitan railways— addition no more advantageous to them than to the public. To the two lines suffered to proceed in their endeavours to cut through the metropolis, there will be little opposition. They are both northward; and while the one deals with an open and quiet neigh bourhood, the other promises to atone for disturb ing a busy part of Londo❑ by providing a new street in a locality where a good and direct thoroughfare is very much needed. It will be some compensation for the inevitable interference with the Hampstead and Tottenham-Court Roads if, by it, we gain clean, respectable highroad through St. Giles's. A new road from Oxford-street to Charing-Cross in the direction of St. Martin's-lane will be a boon which may make the residents north east of Oxford-circus forgive a good deal of annoy ance, and the company have done well in combining the two proposals. This scheme was one among many for uniting the Northern lines with Charing cross station, so that by its means a good deal will he ;done for uniting the traffic north and south. What more requires to be done for this purpose can be easily done another year. At all events it is better and wiser to leave the matter in abeyance until the practical working of the new schemes has bee❑ fully and fairly tried, and experience comes in to assist the judg ment. In projects of this nature so many conflict ing interests have to be weighed, and so many rival claims considered, that caution and prudence are the most necessary constituents of any extensive alteration. Oa the whose, the repty.-t of the com mittee is highly satisfactory, and though subsequent inquiry and criticism may sec cause to modify some of the details, ouo great object of its appointment is attained—the public uneasiness has been allayed, at the game time that a due regard has been had to the interests of railway communication. It is now definitely arranged that the Easter Monday Volunteer Review will take place on Farley-heath. Colonel 1 1 .1 . 111urdo wer t down to Guildford yesterday morning, accompanied by Lord Truro and Colonel Buxton, and examined the ground for several hours; and we believe expressed himself highly satisfied with the capa bilities of the heath itself for a review, and with the pro posed arrangements of the two railway companies. There is every reason to expect that abundant provision will be made for On refreshment of the volunteers and of the rpec tatere. TUE SUN, LOi\DON, TUESDAY EVL.NIIIG I MARCH 8, 1864.

Two officers and 20 Danish soldiers landed yes• terday at the village of Heiligenhafen in Holstein, it is supposed for the purpose of reconnoitring. GALICIA AND ITALY, VIENNA, MARCH G. Advices from report the prevalence of agitation in that province. Notwithstanding the proclamation of the Beige, the placards of the National Polish Government, have been affixed in the streets of Lemberg. Pi ime Slpieba has fled to Galatz. The Government formally denies the reports attributing to it aggressive intentions against Italy. Large numbers of troops are being concentrated in the Tyrol and the provinces of Austria adjacent to Italy, it is declared, for defensive purposes. Ara.- duke Leopold will inspect the fortifications of the Tyrol, and the Quadrilateral at an early date. Orders have been sent to Trieste to fit out the frigate Novara, which will be placed at the dis position of the Archduke Maximilian. THE SUEZ CANAL COMPANY. PARIS, AlARcit 8.

Limay rac, considers the assertions of the English journals respecting the re-establishment of the Holy Alliance to be at least exaggerated. The writer dwells upon the diversity of interests between Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and con. tinues :—" We do not say that this alliance does not or will not exist; but we refuse to believe in its existence on the terms and conditions denounced by the English press." Before' judging of the triple alliance, M. Limayrac wishes to know if it really exists, and upon what conditions.

(Per the Chinz,) NEW Yoe? r, Feb. 24. No important events ore reported from the army of the Potomac. General Meade had left for the front. He has had long consultations with the President and military authorities at Washington. He will proceed at once, it is said, to reorgauisa his army. Rebel geurillas are becoming more daring and numerous, and keep the outposts on the alert. It is rumoured that General Lee is preparing to advance against General Meade, with a view of driving him back to the defences of Washington, or forcing a battle upon the old Bull Run ground. It is said that the Richmond authorities demand this movement to be made, in order to relieve the despondency existing at the rebel capital. Rebel deserters state that so great is the scarcity of forage within General Lee's lines that Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry has been disbanded until grass time, in the middle of March. A Knoxville despatch of Feb. 21 states that Longstreet has broken up winter quarters, and that his army has appeared in force upon Strawberry Plains. They have completed a pontoon bridge, over which two brigades had already crossed. It is said that Longstreet has been heavily reinforced with artillery by General Bucknor. A despatch from Chattanooga, Feb. 21, states that the rebels are now blockading the Tennessee river against steamers for Chattanooga. General John Morgan's force is reported t o h ave crosse d th e Tennessee. The situation of Johnston's army was unknown. that the rebels, supposed t o b e Roddy ' s force, had Official information fro m attempted to cross th e T ennessee river at three General Dodge states different points, bu; were driven back. The Nashville correspondent of the New Fork World states positively that the rebels had cut off communication between Knoxville and Cumberland Gap. Southern papers furnish information concerning the progress of General Sherman's expedition, An official despatch to the Confederate War Depart ment states that General Sherman's forces arrived on the 18th inst. at Quit man, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, o ne h undred and forty miles from from Vicksbu rg , w ith out opposition. The Richmond Examiner says that Mobile will not be taken with out a desperate battle. Sherman's force is estimated at from 25,000 to 35,000 men, and his advance is pronounced to b e t he boldest of the war. He destroys the rail roa d and bridges in his rear, and evidently meditates no step backwards. A Cairo despatch states that when General Sher man passed through Jackson, Mississippi, the rebels fled so pr ec i p i tately that a number of pon toons and two pi eces of artillery were captured by the Federals. G eneral Sherman ' s progress was at the rate of fourt een miles per day for ten days ; his troops moving i n li ght marching order, and relying entirely upon th e country they passed through for supplies. It was believed that be would appear before the defences of Mobile by the 25th of February, and, as be had no siege guns w i t h hi m , it is thought that he would attack the city s imultaneously with a naval attack by Farragut. Mobile papers state that the Mayor had issued a ploclarnation, exhorting no n-combatants to leave the city, as an attack from the Federals was daily expected. Admiral Ferragut's fleet was lying in the Sound on the 19th, riding out heavy weather. Richmond papers contain the following MOBILE, Feb. 15th, Meridian was evacuat e d yesterday. The Go , vernment prope r t y was saved. Sh erman ' s f orces, about 35,000 stron g, are advancing in close order, with General S. 1) . Lee ' s cavalry h arass i ng their flanks and Picki ng up stragglers. C ap t a i n A da i r, of g General Forrest's staff, has arrived, and reports that General Forrest was at Oxford on the 9th. He was confrontin g a co ; umn of Fe d era l i n f antry of 6,000 advanci ng f rom Memphis via H unando, and twelve regiments of cavalry advancing via Collins ville. The reported battle near 13ran ion, and Sher man's capture of 12,000 prisoners, proves to be a canard. Advices from North Carolina otAte that the Federals wore making successful raids in the neighbourhood of Newborn, capturing guerillas, horses, cattle, &c., and destroying rebel property. Confederate accounts from Charleston to the 13th state that the Federals had withdrawn from John son's Island, and were engaged on Morris Island in repairing the damage done by the Confederate fire to their batteries. There had been no further shelling of the city. It is believed that Gen, Beauregard has detached a large portion of his command to oppose the advance of the Federals in Florida. A battle in the neighbourhood of Tellahasen, Florida, is ex pected—the opposing armies being about equal in strength. Thus far 57 out of the 109 Union officers who escaped from Richmond have reached . the Federal lines in safety; 25 are reported to have been recap tured by the rebels, leaving 27 yet to be heard from. The new Italian iron clad frigate Re d'ltalia returned yesterday from a very successful trial trip. She made 13 knots per hour, and be hayed very well in a heavy sea. Sue is pronounced seaworthy in every respect. The proceedings in Congress for the past three days have been unimportant. The rumour of a meditated naval demonstration by the rebels against San Francisco, as announced by Senator Conness, of California, is believed to be without founda tion. Tha _Richmond Examines• of the 20th February says—The following despatch was received at the War Department last night : " MOBILE, Feb. 19, 2 p.m. " Farragut has not renewed his attack on Grant's Pass. His fleet lies off the pass in the Sound. The weather is too bad for action. Sher man's corps is not advancing down the Mobile and Ohio road. No landing has yet been reported in the direction of Pascagould. "D. H. MAWRY, Major-General. "General S. Cooper, &c." An official despatch Was also received in the course of the day, which reduces the enemy's demonstra tion at Quitman to a very important affair. Former despatches overrated the enemy's force. General Mawry reported yesterday that he had made a close roconnaisance of the enemy's force at that point (which is about 100 miles from Mobile), and that it did not number more than a thousand men.

PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, HADERSLEBEN, MARCH 3. South Schleswig has a good deal changed its op peArance since I last wrote you thence towards the middle of February. The snow is gone, the railway is open, the troops who then crowded its towns and villages have moved northwards. The difference is great to the traveller both as regards locomotion and accommodation. The passage of troops from Germany into the Duchies seems almost to have ceased except in compaiatively small bodies, chiefly detachments going to join their regiments. Ot stores for the supply of the very large Austro-Prus sian army now in Schley wig vast quantities conti nually pass, filling trains of prodigious length. Judging from appearances, little or nothing in the way of food is now to be found upon the spot, and everything has to be sent from the south, even hay for the horses. One has been accustomed to hear of Holstein and Schleswig as rich and productive pro vinces, but the latter at least has soon been drained, to all appearance, of its provisions both for man and beast. Flensburg, a fortnight ago so thronged, is now but slenderly garrisoned; but still the hotels are fa, the war bringing thither persons of various descriptions, some connected with the supply of the army, others more curious travellers from other parts of the duchy. Here you are reduced to horse carriages, and make but moderate way along heavy roads. The snow, which at Hamburg and in Hol- stein had totally disappeared on Monday and Tues• day, and in South Schleswig lay only in streaks and patches on the north side of banks and in places sheltered from the sun, increased in quantity as I approached Apenrade, a poor town, situated in the innermost corner of one of those deep bays or inlets frequent on the coast of this peninsula. The night was so dark that it was with difficulty we had avoided collisions with the numerous vehicles met or passed on the road, and as an arrival at Ha dersleben in the middle of the night would have been tantamount to passing the remainder of it in the carriage, I resolved to put up at Apenrade—at the Stadt Hamburg, of course, the prosperous city on the Elbe enjoying the distinction of giving its name to the principal hotel in every Schleswig and Holstein town I as yet have visited. I had been for tunate enough to become acquainted in the railway carriage with an amiable Austrian officer, who, having left the service, is making the campaign en amateur, in company with his former regiment, and who had gone back to Hamburg for a day or two, chiefly, as it appeared to me, to obtain a few thousand cigars for the solace of his comrades. Besides his pleasant companionship his uniform was the best possible passport, and his acquaintance with the road and the ways of the country most valuable. The inn keepers in Schleswig have been so spoilt of late by unusual custom that the first sign they make when a traveller enters their gates is a doubtful shake of the head, as if there were little hope of accom modation. In the morning came an early start from Apenrade over a hard-frozen road, our driver in the Danish livery—a red cloak with yellow collar. There was plenty of snow now; not in large quanti ties on the level surfaces, but filling the ditches, and in large drifts against the banks and in the hollows, and soon flakes began to fall. "At Hadersleben it always snows," remarked my fellow traveller ; and since my arrival it certainly always has snowed, although but slightly. It does not look as if the end of winter was at hand in this bleak region, but fortunately the troops are now all under roofs, except some of those on outpost duty. Hadersleben is crowded. I know not how meny men are here, but the number must be very considerable, and all the villages and hamlets and farmhouses around the town seem thronged with them. This being pre sent the head-quarters both of the Commander-in- Chief, Marshal Wrangel, and of General Gablenz, who commands the Austrian corps &armee, there are, of course, a great many officers here, and the difficulty of procuring even the humblest accommo dation amounts almost to an impossibility. The Austrian and Prussian head-quarters are nearly op posite to each other at the two principal inns, and I first sought hospitality at the house where a black and yellow banner waves over the door, and which is known by the signs of the Raven. But the Raven, in the person of au obliging landlady, who spoke English (it is surprising what numbers of persons in Schleswig, even not in the seaport towns or of the higher classes, are acquainted with our lan guage) could only croak its regrets that not even a nook, a cupboard, a cellar, or a bed under a table, was at my disposal. At every inn and publichouse, and at many private houses where I made inquiries, the answer was the same. One or two other travellers, who had also arrived that morning, de• termined to return to Apenrade, and I was thinking of hiring the carriage that had brought me, with the view of using it as a dormitory and dwelling place during my stay at Hadersleben, when the kindness of a countryman relieved me from my em barrassment and procured me comfortable quarters. As regards the military operations of the cam paign, they seem to be, for the moment, somewhat at a standstill. Probably, the proposed Conference has something to do with this, but other causes may also be assigned. It is agreed on all hands that the Danish fortified position at Duppel and Alsen can be taken only by a heavy sacrifice of life or by regu lar and tedious siege operations. It can hardy be Leemed surprising if Governments and Generals he sitate to adopt the former plan, and to lose thousands of good soldiers for the sa ti s f action of driving the Danes from their earthworks and getting possession of a petty island. On the other hand, if trenches are to be opened and a bombardment proceeded te, the necessary materiala are not yet at hand in suffi met quantity, A 9 regards what is likely to occur, this is unquestionably a worse place than Bz?rlin for obtaining information ; one hears 50 different opinions, and " shaves" in abundance fly about ; but if anything positive as to what will next be done be really known, it is only to the chiefs, and they of course keep their counsel. Viewing the state of affairs by the light of common reason, it appears certain that, if the Conference be not decidedly ac cepted by all parties invited, and accepted speedily, the war must go on. If the Danes will not give up Duppel and Alsen it is manifest that the Austro. Prussian army cannot remain here doing nothing bat eating its rations and amusing itself with out post skirmishes while an enemy is firmly posted on its flank. The war, now virtually suspended, will be resumed, and probably prolonged until a season when it will be more likely to extend itself to other countries than it is at the present moment. The conflict, now localised, may become European iu -- r - - spring. It is difficult to believe that Danmark has any thing to gain - by obstinately refusing the Conference. By this time she must surely bo convinced that nobody is disposed to take up arms to reinstate her in Schleswig upon the old looting —even with the withdrawal of the 18th November Constitution. She can no longer hops for the terms she might easily have obtained before the war commenced. A personal union is the best she can now expect, and if she were wise she would at once accept it as the basis of an arrangement, and proceed to a Con ference on that understanding. A glance at the map of North Schleswig shows that the present headquarters of the allies are at a great distance from the only place where there is any :present likelihood of fighting taking place. From hero to Gravenstein, where Prince Frederick Charles has his quarters, it is fully 30 miles, and thence to Duppel it is four or five miles more. Hadersleben, however, is a central and natural po sition, considering that the Danes are in J utland, and the Prussians as far north as Folding, where they have been fortifying themselves, and imme diately outside of which their advanced posts are. It has been reported here these last two or three days that the head-quarters would soon go back to Flensburg, and this seems not unlikely especially if Duppel is to be attacked, as they would there be much nearer to the scene of operations. Their re- moval would not necessarily; imply considerable changes in the present distribution of the army. Hadersleben is about 16 miles from Bolding. Some small outpost affairs have lately occurred in front of the latter place, and there is a report of a detach malt of Prussian Hussars having been taken prisoners by the Danish Dragoons— whom the people hero tell me are very good cavalry ; but in the absence of great events numerous rumaurs of small ones circulate, many of them with little or no foundation. The capture of 260 Danish prisoners in the affair of the 22d of February is stated to have been the consequence of an imprudent sortie. Prince Charles of Prussia is at present at his son's headquarters at Gravenettein. It was reported that he was coming to take the command of the army, from which Marshal Wrangel was said to be about to withdraw, but this report is hitherto unconfirmed. It excites general surprise that the Marshal, who is nearly, if not quite, eighty years of age, has borne the fatigues of the campaign, the exposure and severe cold, so well as he has done. He is never in a carriage, but goes through the whole of it on horseback. The troops, bJth Prussian and Austrian, so far as I have as yet had opportunity of observing, are in excellent spirits and good condition, and 1 am assured that, with the exception of some cases of skin diseases—the consequence, probably, in great measure, of the total impossibility there has been for the soldiers to keep themselves clean in bivouacs, and in a season when every drop of water is con verted into ice—the army is extremely healthy. The severity of the cold may have caused a good deal of discomfort, and even of pain and cases of frost-bite, especially among the unfortunate Wounded at Oversee, but it cannot be said to have been in salubrious. At about the same season of the year the Spaniards in Morocco had little cold but much rain, and the cholera raged among them. Deci dedly Scandinavia is in some respects more favour able than Africa to winter campaigning. The subjoined communications have passed be tween the Commander-in. Chief a the Austro- Prussian and Danish armies with respect to the occupation of Kolding " Headquarters of the Royal Danish Army, Camp in Jutland, Feb. 29. Your Excellency,—By direction of my Government I have the honour to call your Excellency's attention to the fact that Folding, now occupied and burdened with re quisitions by the Prussian and Austrian troops, as well as villages and country districts to the north of that town, lie within the frontiers of Jutland. I request your Excellency to be so good as to honour me with an ansWer, in proof that, in conformity with my instructions, I have made this com munication to you. I seize this opportunity of assuring your Excellency of the high consideration, &c., VON lIEGERMANN-LINDENCRON, Lieutenant- Genet al. To his Excellency Field-Marshal Baron Von Wrangel, commanding the Royal Prussian and Imperial Austrian troops, &c. Reply. Headquarters, liadersleben, March 2. In reply to your Excellency's honoured letter of the 29th of February, T beg to say that the town of Kolding, and some neighbouring villages south of the Kolding-Au, have been occupied for the present by the advanced posts of this army to cover the troops now in occupation of North Schleswig. For the supply of rations, in conformity with regulations, to the troops quartered on Jutland territory, requisitions are sent to the Hardesvoigt of Ko!ding, to whom it is left at liberty to decide on the manner in which he shall impose the requisitions among the parishes of Jutland. Should your Excellency desire to see the inhabitants of Jutland relic ,red from these burdens, which also is my the capture of German merchant vessels on the open sea must immediately be discontinued on the side of Denmark. While leaving it to you to make a report to this effect to the Danish Government, I have the honour, &C,, VON WRANGEL, General Field-Marshal. To his Excellency Lieutenant-Gener a l Von Hegermann Lindencron, &e. I am confirmed in my belief that the attempted Conference has had to do with the slackening of preparations for prosecuting the campaign by an attack on Dappel ; but I think you will find that if in a very few days something has not been arranged by the diplomatists the cannon will again begin to speak. Ttie field-batteries, rifled on the Prussian system, have been found so Efficient that some persons think it possible they might be em ployed against the Danish works in preference to siege artillery. Without bombarding the place, a heavy fire might be opened, so as to knock about the earthworks a little, and the assault then risked. T. It must cost many lives, but omelettes are not made without egg breaking, and whatever may be the opinion as to the necessity of beginning this war i❑ the first instance, the Austro-Prussians cannot be expected to discontinue it at the point to which it has come ii Denmark persists in rejecting the paci icator3- attempts of the other great Powers. Count de Clermont Tonnerre, who was Aide-de- Camp to Marshal St. Arnaud at the Alma, and who is now military attache to the French Embassy at Berlin, has arrived in Hadersleben, and has gone over to Kolding to-day with Gen. von Falkenstein, Chief of the Prussian Staff. It is understood that he will remain at the Prussian headquarters. ECORATIONS FOR THE SULTAN'S NEW PALACE. A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels says—" The Sultan is now saving executed in Paris, by the most eminent sculptors, 24 animals—lions, tigers, elks, horses, and bulls—destined to ornament the hardens of the splendid palace which is being built at the Sweet Waters One of the most highly esteemed French merchants at Con. stantinople has been charged with this delicate mission. I yesterday visited the sculpture studios and saw four lions and two tigers complete. The artists engaged are MM. Rouillard, Esler, Labruyere, Daumas, and Isidore Bon. heur. DI. Rouillard is charged with the direction of the whole order ; M. Daumas executes two horses, and M. Bon heur two bulls. All the animals will be of natural size ; 14 of them will be cast in bronze and afterwards undergo a bath of gilding, and 10 will be in Carara marble. There is a particularity attached to the production of the elk. Only one animal of the kind exists in France ; it belongs to Baron de Rothschild, and it has been therefore necessary to apply to the illustrious banker for permission to visit it. That was graciously granted, and MM. Rouillard and Esler arc about to proceed to the Chateau of Ferrieres, where the elk is kept in an enclosed park." THE RAIL IN CEYLON.—The first locomotive engine was landed last month at Ceylon from the ship Pal merston. It was landed on a bamboo raft, and was to be drawn to the railway station by a team of three elephants. „..ceykm ,--„,•i - ; - yif ~ _ ez - Ilullri -- 4,1111111ba HER MAJESTY.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. -4 — Lord Byron's magnificent choral tragedy of " Manfred" was revived last night to the intens e gratification of a very crowded audience. g r. Pneips, of course, resumed his impersonation of the Count, and, as it appeared to us, with more 0 9 ! his usual effect. His feeling seemed deeper, p ie pathetic touches more tender, and his deelamatiO as fine as ever. The whole play, indeed, was l id ' mirably executed. The singing witches were charrl i ' ingly enunciated by Miss Poole, Miss Cicely NO t ; and Mr. Swift. Miss Atkinson's fine recitation a" statuesque personation of Clotho added much to the effect, as did Mr. Rlyner's judicious performan ce of the Chamois ,Hunter. Previous to the tragedy W e had another revival, that of a farce originally Wr it ; ten for Miss P oo l e , w hil e s h e was very young, a l during the tim e s h e was a pup i l of the late g if t ed musician who had the direction of the lyric de • partment at the two national theatres in the days of the lamented Madame Malibran, ' 71% Mr. J.
