THE DANISH POSITION.

The island of Alsen," says the Army and Nary
Gaz:tte of to-day, " is only separated from the Sloe-
wig shore by the ferry ; but the Danish gunboats
can cover the flanks of the portion of the army
which has retreated there, and it remains to be
seen whether the Federal troops will insist on con-
sidering Alsen a portion of the guarantee they intend
to retain till matters are settled to their satisfaction.
As far as we can ascertain there are 16,000 Danish
infantry in Alsen—the greater part of their army,
consisting of the rest of the infantry, their cavalry,
and guns, perhaps, having retreated into Jutland,
with the view of operating on the flanks of the
enemy, and of securing the communications with
Funen. The sound of Alma is about 150 yards broad,
and the works, very strong by nature, which may be
considered as a tite-de-pond, are armed with heavy
guns, and cross their fire with that of the works on
the island at points in front of the line of defence
which must be occupied by any offensive force.
Duppel is, therefore, a position of exceeding strength,
and will, no doubt, be obstinately defended by the
troops of King Christian, who has been at Solider-
burg, close at hand, visiting the defences, and has
been encouraged by the attitude of his army, and by
their courage and fortitude. In the various engage-
ments which took place after the evacuation of the
Dannewerk, the Danes have fought with a spirit and
devotion worthy of their race ; but it would not be
justtodeny the vigour with which the pursuit was
conducted bytheFederals,and the gallantry they dis-
played in several of the severe engagements which
marked the course of operations for the expulsion of
the Danes from Sleawig. Austrian and Prussian
reinforcements are pouring in northwards, as if
Federal execution meant the extermination of the
Danish people and the occupation of the Danish
islands. They will find that Alsen and Funen, how-
ever, are not quite so accessible as Holstein and
Slanrig. Jutland they tan invade if they like, and
much good may it do them ; but so flagrant a demon-
stration would not be exactly in harmony with the
declarations of their governments."

THE LAW COURTS.

Mr. M. SMITH asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether it was the intention of the government to introduce
in the present session any measure for building new courts
of justice hi the metropolis, or for improving the state of
the existing courts.
Mr. S OWI'Elt said it was intended to introduce a bill
for the concentration of the courts of law and equity on •
site to be purchased betimes Carey-street and the Slimed, in
accordance with the recommendation of the royal commis-
sioners.

THE FLOWEKY LAND PIRATES.

Sir G. BOWYER eked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether the government intended to
take any stew, by application to the Court of Queen's
Beach or otherwies, to prevent the execution of seven men
simultaneously at 2\ ewers'
Sir G. GREY raid that a few days molls had received a
letter from the Under Sheriff, written by desire of the
shistiffe of London and Middlesex, requesting him to order
some of the prisoners to be sent to different parte through.
out the country for execution, in order that their fate might
make• greater impression upon the seafaring population.
The Under Sheriff went on to suggest that if he (Sir
G Grey) had no power to direct this to be dose,
application should be made to the Court of Queen's Bench.
He (Sir G. Grey) had no authority to give say directions on
the subject ; and the Court of Queen's Bench hod only once
interpo-od in such a matter, and that was in a cue of dis-
puted jurisdiction. He did not see any reason to depart
from the usual course. (Hear, hear.)

FRANCE AND DENMARK.

If we may believe a letter from Berlin to the
dagsburg Gazette, Franoe has thrown off the reserve
which she so long maintained relative to the affairs
of the North. The Minister of Franoe is said to
have presented to M. de Bismark, on the 7th of
February, a despatch in which his government
describes the demonstrations in Bleinvig in favour
of the Duke of Augustenburg LI very grave facts,
and indeed as a ground for serious oomplaints.
It is even declared that France would not tolerate
territorial changes which it may perhaps be de-
sired to effect separately. The correspondent adds
that M. de Bismark has replied that in future
demonstrations of this kind, which could not be
foreseen, will not be repeated.

THE RATE fl AID.

Lord DENMAN peeninted a petition from the guardians
of the Bakewell Union against the renewal of the Rate in
Aid Act in that district. The guardians complained that
they should be included in the levy, sine they derived so
special benefit from the existence of the Glossop union,
which was at a great distance from them. He also said
that the rate in aid was intended for the assistance of per-
sons who were paupers, and that until resort bad been had
to the borrowing powers, this union should not be burdened
with a contribution towards those who were able to help
themselves.
Earl GRANVILLE said it would be within their lord-
ships' recollection that no part of Derbyshire was included
in the bill when first proposed by the government, but it
was owing to the feeling of the House of Commons that the
change was made. The rate was not quite a penny in the
pound, and therefore he thought the grievance was not very
great. Although he could not give the noble lord a distinct
Promise, very probably no all would be made for swam
year. . .

Their lordships then adjourned at twenty minutes past

Commodore Sir William Wiseman, Bart, the senior
officer of her Majesty's ships and vessels on
the Australian station, detailing the proceedings of
the gunboat Pioneer off Rangariri, and the expe-
dition to the Thames, together with later proceed-
ings, the last despatch being dated December 4 :
I■ consideration of the distinguished conduct of the
officers and seamen, as detailed in the above despatches,
the following naval promotions, dated this day, have taken
place :
To be Captain—Commander Richard Charles Mayne.

favourably toted:—Captain Francis William Sullivan,
who has already been promoted for distiagaished ser-

THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

The Royal Mail steamship Seine, Captain Re-
vett, with the above mats, arrived at Southamp-
ton yesterday. She brings 109 passengers, includ-
ing Major-General Newton and Commanders Wat-
son and Wells, R.N. ; also 37 distressed British
seamen and nine naval invalids. The Seine brings
2,278,708 dols. in specie.
The general news brought by this mail is not
important. In Chili the late catastrophe still
occupied public attention to the exclusion of
over other subject. An act of the Senate has
been passed that henceforth there are to be no illu-
minations of churches and splendid night services,
and that measures be carried out in all the
churches as to proper construction and sufficient
number of doors. Another result of this calamity
is the organisation of a fire brigade for Santiago,
and much enthusiasm has been displayed in
this matter. 2,100 corpses, extracted from the
" Companis" have been registered at the burial
ground ; besides these, a number of single
limbs and pieces of bodies have been found, and not
a few sufferers died afterwards from the effect of
burns and other wounds, so that about 2,300 alto-
gether may be estimated to have perished. On the
31st December a similar calamity had nearly be-
fallen the worshippers in the San Isidro Church.
One of the numerous candles on the altar came in
contact with a pot of artificial flowers, and although
the fire was immediately extinguished there was
such a great confusion, rushing to the doors, falling
and crying, that the service had to be closed for the
night.

Sir G. GREY said the attention of the Lord Chamberlain
had been very carefully directed to the subject. In Fe-
bruary last be addressed a written letter to the managers of
theatres ; and in comings's°, of the recent Lamentable ac-
cident at the Pavilion Theatre, he called a meet.ng of the
managers at his °dice, where the matter was very fully
goal into. After careful inquiry the Lord Chamberlain was
satisfied that at would be inexpedient to attempt to enforce
by act of parliament any particular measures. He had
embodied his views in a memorandum which he had nut
to the manager.. and to which he had appended a serise of
regulations. If the hoe. member would move for the
papers he would see exactly how the matter stood.

ITALY.

TURIN, JDJI 22.

The Opinions of to-day, correcting the report pub-
lished in the Monitaur of the 18th inst., of a speech
made in the Chamber of Deputies, states that the
bill authorising the government to raise a loan of
200 millions francs on the guarantee of the national
estates was not brought in by the government, but
by a member of the Left.

This inaccuracy might give rise to the supposi-
tion that the Italian government was under the
necessity of raising a loan, which is not the case.
The same journal gives assurances that the re-
ports referring to the Italian expedition to Tunis
are unfounded. Nothing has as yet been decided.
Nevertheless, if the situation of the Italian colony
rendered it necessary, the expedition would be
limited to the occupation of certain points, in order
to protect European interests, and persons under
a political character.

LAST ELIAIGENCE.
THE APTlllgelil NG RESIIMPTIOIIi OF
HOSTILITIES.

The German papers profess to regard with much
equanimity the possibility of a war with England.
Mast of them advise their government to instal
the Duke of Auguetenburg immediately, and regu-
late the limits of the new state hereafter.
The National Gazette of Berlin, while admitting
that the maritime trade of Germany would have to
suffer from the English blockade, endeavours to
prove that England, notwithstanding her fleets,
could not prevent Germany from proclaiming the
independence of Sleswig-Holstein, nor of defending
Jutland against the disembarkation of an Anglo-
Danish corps. The Berlin journal besides observes
that England by blockading the German ports
would cause a sensible damage to her own trade.
According to the Press of Vienna, Earl Russell,
in a confidential interview with the German pleni-
potentiaries, did not conceal from them that he was
unable to see how England could abstain from
taking an active part in the war if it recommenced.
"The English government," said the noble earl, ac-
cording to the Vienna journal, " has sufficiently
proved the high value it attaches to the maintenance
of peace. By its proposition of arbitration it has
made a new attempt at conciliation, but the duty of
maintaining intact the honour and power of the
country imposes limits to its pacific tendencies, and
if its last project fail it will become impossible,
seeing the state of public opinion, to preserve neu-
trality."

taken on the present occasion.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Madame Lagrua, whose suet:useful dem t in Norma
has been duly recorded by ourselves and our contempora-
ries, achieved another triumph at Saturday in La Favorite.
The same great qualities which she bad displayed in Norma
shone with equal lustre in Lsonors. She escheated the
audience by the beauty of her singing, and melted
them to tears by the truth, nature, and pathos
of her acting. She was admirably supported by
Mario, who smog the music (the most beautiful that Dad-
setti ever wrote) with incomparable beauty and feeling.
In the character of the prelate, who hurls the thunders of
the church with such terrible force on the heads of the
Slog and his hapless mistress, Signor Attri produced a
powerful effect ; and the part of the King was sung and
acted, with his usual success, by Grathosi.
