THE CAPE MAIL.

The Union Company's steamer Cambrian with
the above mails arrived at Plymouth yesterday.
The Cambrian left Cape Town on the 22nd ult.,
calling at St. Helena on the Id and at Ascension
on the 6th inst. She brings 77 passengers and 141
military invalids and time•expired men, with 12
women and 16 children.

At the Cape great excitement was caused by the
issue of a notice that importers releasing goods
from bond must give an undertaking to pay any
additional duty which might be approved of by
parliament. Parliament had since passed an act
increasing the import duties by 25 per cent. The
♦alidity of these proceedings is called into question.

CONSERV:Ann: MEETING YESTERD4 T.

Yesterday at two o'clock a meeting of the Oppo-
mitten to weeder the policy of her Majesty's government
reference to the Dano-Clerresa questioe, wee held attire resi-
dence of the Marquis of Salisbury, in Arlin/too-street.
The meeting was held in the principal drawing-room, sad
was attended by KB members of the House of Com-
mons, the only per present being the Ear! of DIRST,
by wham the chair was compied. In kis imam-
deter vicinity were Mr. Dermal, General Peel, Lord Jobe
Manners, Mr. Walpole, and the principal members of the
opposition. These were also present several bon. gentle-
men connected with the independent Irish party who
occupy seats below the gangway.
The Earl of Denny knit addreered the meeting. He
commenced bin oteerratices by stating that doting the
last two or three semices evreral attacks had been made
in parliament upon the established church of this
ocuatry, but that, owing to the firm front that bad been
opposed to them, they had been dieoontiuned, and he
might say they were nowabeindosed. H. would sot, he said,
trouble them by referring to the 800 page, of papers
on the Denmark question which had been laid
before parliament, or with the 161 pages of protocols
and papers which had 13.1.1111 issued that morning,
bat would content himself with reviewing in a very few
warda the operas of proceeding which had been adopted by
the noble earl the Secretary for Yoreige Affairs (Earl Rus-
sell), and by the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's
government with regard to Denmark. Among the most
remarkable of the statements which had been made by hoe
Majesty's government to parliament during the discussions
which had taken place on the Danish question was that
in certain contiegeiscies Denmark would not be allowed
to ester upon the easiest with Germany aloe.. It ap
peered, however, that as 'natters programed the ground
was shifted, and it was dated that in the event of certain
coetiogeacise—the Federal execution for instance—adieu
might betaken. The easeutiee, however, did take place,
and east there was the invasion el Sleserig. It was the•
intimated that Frederickstadt was to be regarded as
• sacred spot. It was, however, Wpm poessmies of by
the German forces, and finally a parties of Jutland
also, yet nothing was does to induce Denmark to be-
lieve that the promises held est to her would be
realised. He would not attempt to my that Fueled
ought or ought not to have iaterfered by fares CI arms;
but what be did say was that her Majesty's govern.
meet having conveyed a hope to Deamart that in the
event of certain things coerring Eoglaad would stead by
her side, the natural inference was that Newark had been
misled by them repneentatiooe. and threats now had mesas
to complain that she forted herself deserted byithose by
whom she had been given reason to hope that she would re-
ceive material smistance. He did not mesa ft to be nada-
stood, or did be wish to Gamey, that his view was that En-
Iliad ought to interfere by force of arms ; but that bad not
bee, the tone taken ay her Majesty's government. TI •
noble Iced (Lord Palmerdce), in hie recent deakeation
in the Hones of Commoos, bad still maintained the sacs
tons as that which had led Denmark to believe that she
would receive support from England, that she would not be
allowed to stand alone in the struggle ; because, ha said,
that in the sera of Copenhagen being bombarded, or the
King ekes a prisoom of war, it might become necessary to
consider the matter, or to recommend a change of policy.
But from the experience of the past there was oo mach to
believe that the noble lord might sot, is view of these events
having actually takes place, allege that some fresh cootie-
pricy should yet seise before he meld set. He (the Earl of
Derby) eouteeded that this vacillating and inconsistent
policy was discreditable to the government, sad was
calculated to lower the country immeaeurably, to slat
it. renown, and lemon its Mamie in the eyes of Ea
rope. He was not himself blind to the ocieseqiienem
which must result to England if such We're:seat in the
affairs of Denmark should take place ; but it was to
be supposed that the government who conveyed the ides
that they were disposed to lend them military aid should
have considered the ccesequenom before they mad* sea a
declaration. Ia the part which be sod those who acted
with him thought they should take it was considered right
to deal with the Danish question by itself, and sot to mix
it up with the hales question, or with the sahappy inter-
necine strife which was now waging at the other side of the
Atlantic. The Danish question should be dealt with by
itself, end the reeolutios which he waa now about to submit
for the consideration of the nesting would simply be coe-
fined to ea expresses' of opinion upon the course of aou-
dad and the policy which had been pursued by her
Majesty's government, The government had appeared
desirous to leave it to the house to 'spree an
opiates, and they had endeavoured to impose the duty
of elicit* that opiaioa epos the opposition ; but he was
happy to any that neither his right has. friend (Mr. Disraeli)

resolution would carry with it a majority of the Renee

felt it to be their bounden duty to elicit the opinion of t 1• '
Howe of Comeau on the sate of the administration.

The noble earl then read to the meeting the resolution
which Mr. Disraeli suteennently gave notice of in the Homo
of Gnu:Dons. It was recaired with loud and repeated char.
leg by the meeting.

Mr. Kist next addressed the meeting. The bon. patio,
men said his feeling was that the raeolutioa abottld embody
an expression in favour of armed interference on behalf of
•
Denmark.

Thin observation was moved with marks of dimpproba-
tioo.

The Earl of Dram said he hoped that the boo. gentle-
man would have a full opportunity of expressing his
feeling upon the subject. The noble lord added, that be
mast respectfully differ from the hon. gentleman, became
if the suggestion he had made were adopted, and such
an expression as be had advocated were embodied in the
resointioa, the oppositioa, in the event of their coming
Into power, would be bound to wry on warlike operatioas
in favour of Denmark, and this they were not prepared to
bind then:weir, to.

An Nom Mann, representing a northern county, said
he believed that the feeling in his part of the country was
entirely in [roar of pesos. He reminded the westing shag
the constituencies of the country would narrowly watch the
conduct of their representatives. From ail he wee &We to
learn, he believed that, 'breves the country might think
of the policy of her Majesty's government in reference to
the language held by them towards Denmark, i► was
decidedly in favour of maintaining a restful attitude. He
apprehended, after the Angriest made in the Hors of
Commons by Lord Pabserston, that if a resolution such as
that now submitted to the meeting were curia against him
in the House, it would be regarded as • deincostrstice i•

-
[avow of war, and $o this hi (the boo. mambos) was mainly
oppcosd.

The Prirl of Drssy explained that in his opinion the rue.
lotion wee not drawn ao as to °clayey any such impression.
This statement was received with expressions of appro•
bation, and appeared to be acquiesced in generally by the
meeting._

LordHorar Lannoi said that ha was not about to
trouble the meeting at any length with opinions of his own,
mid had only to eapress hia point comarrence I. what
had (Allan from the °obi* Berl. He was anxious to know=
what day it was proposed to more the resolution.

The Earl of DERBT observed that as that duty would de.
voles upon his right bon. friend (Mr. Disraeli) be would
leave him to 'newer the gosstioa.
Mr. DMILAZLI said that his first intention was to give
notice of the motatia...thaierreaing for Thursday, sad as
Thursday to submit it to the home if that day should
prove cos vanes. to the goverment. On further ream-
." however, he thought that perhaps Thursday would
biitoo only a day. lie believed that Lord Palmerston was
prepared to give every facility for proceeding with the
debate, and under these circumstames be thought the aeon
judicious coarse would be to give motion that evening in the
House of Comma, and to move the mein...3 on Mon-
day evening.

Sir JOHN WLIAH said that he was adverse to an opposi-
too which would indulge in WIWI party views, but in the
rissolatice proposed by the amble earl he entirely concurred.
