DENMARK .I.ND THE DUCHIES.

Letters from Flu totburg mention that the delibera-
tions of the Notables have taken a very profitless
turn. The proposition of the president, Count Bilk-
Uralic, to adopt the government project as a whole
without discussion, has met with no favour from the
Datio-Sehleiswig delegates. These latter had, it
apptars, previously determined in their preliminary
ptivate etmsultations to separate those paragraph's
which relate to the institutions of the two duchies
from those which are common to the whole kingdom,
in order thereby to procure for the duchies an entire
political and administrative separation. Among the
Holstin deputies, too. there is a want of unanimity
on mveral points; and a complaint has been raised
that there -being 110 delegate from Lauenberg the in-
t( rests of that place arc nut likely to be attended to.
Hut all these difficulties stein to arise from a mistaken
notion of what the Assembly of Notables were in-
tended to ellixt. They were called together simply
as an attempt to reconcile the many adverse parties,
out may say states, under the ride of Denmark. It
is not particular acts to be done, so much as the
general relations of I/ enmesh and the Duchies to be
settled. that they have in view. And as one of the
piiewipul objects is to settle the relative position of
tichleswig with Denmark, on the ground of ancient
and chartered usages, the choice of delegates, of men
having the confidence of Schleswig, was determined
peatly by this consideration. This object unat-
tainetf other subordinate though importmt subjects
cannot, with any hope of success, be taken up.
For this reason I tolstein-Lauenberg was left
out of the Assembly of Notables. According to
this plan. the whole project ofthe government should
be in its f lumentul principles first adopted, im-
proved, and enlarged by the Notables, then submitted
to the judgment of the eonstituted authoriticsof the
kingdom and the duchies, and finally probably re-
ceive many additions and eonipletions from the several
chumbeis. The principle, however, the reconciling
principle, is what the notables have almost exclu-
steely to confine their attention to, if they would
fulfil their teal mission. The rest —all the details.
inu.t be left to time ; and a considerable time it vi ill
no doubt require to bring theta to practical maturity.
The Flyr,pasten, however, brings the report that Die
Dolitein Deputies have protested alptinst every mea-
sure which may tend to a separation between Hol-
stein and Schleswig.
A note, the Hamburg Nachrichten says, was received
on the 22nd at Copenhagen, from Russia, on the ,
succession question. Important despatches had been
brought also by Count Pi:chili' on the same subject, I
who hail returned front St. Petersburg. The Pro/s-
-r.:eh, h it/ow affirms that the heir to the throne of
Denmark pointed out by Russia is the eldest son of
Prince Chri•tiaii of Schleswig-holstein, Sonderburg-
Gluckshurg. and that this prince will be adopted by
the King of Denmark.
The licrlistsclac leafing denies that the Austrian
and Prussian notes to the court of Copenhagen con-
tained any demands, either categorical or condi-
tional, with respect to the full pardon and recall of
all the Schlesw lig emigrants. Mc notes contained,
that journal says, remarks about a suitable govern-
ment fur Holstein, but contains nothing about the
organization of the Holstein army, and is quite
silent on the connexion between Schleswig and
Denmark.
The English envoy, Colonel llodges' formerly a
member of the administration (Landesverwaltung)
in Flensburg, had arrived on the 23rd, with his
secretary, in that town. He had received sudden
orders from his government to betake himself
thither. His presence, others say, has caused a good
deal of sensation, and is the chief topic, there of

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The first shilling day at the Great Exhibit on
appears likely to stan•l alone in its comparatively thin at-
tendance of visitors, for each day since Monday the numbers
have steadily increased, and it is probable that the antici-
pated 60,000 a day will soon be reached. Working people
in large parties may now be seen inspecting the contents of
the building with as orderly and proper conduct as charac-
terised their five shilling predecessors. The
is still one of the first objects of attraction—a _
in thousands of cases, the only object in the whole place
that disappoints those who throng so eagerly to see it.
