This Company has been teemed for the purpose of purchasing
• the freehold known es Queen Anne's Ship Yard, and
the valuable bushier now canted on by private
capitalists therein ; of carrying on ship bulking In iron and
wood, and of mechanical engineering in all Its branches.
The ship-tatilding yard pemesses • frontage to the ma of up-
wards of 1,2b0 feet, In whirls there will be capacity for laying
down 10 ship, taking an average of 00 feet in width for molt
ship. As at present candituted, the establishment comprises a
first-class stone-bent dry d ck, MO feet by 52 feet, In perfect
working ccmditints, with steassomine, clicularmw asiz.sollat
shops, hmtver dada NW, and balltHaga with slips, quays, snd
other necessary appliamer, ala good repair. On the premises
there is a capital Ilse kiln, four excellent dwelling-homes,
suitable for the manager and employes of the company, six cot-
tages foe foremen, ; a good supply of fresh waist, and an
abundance of lime and building stone.
It ts proposed to lengthen the prevent dry dock 50 feet, to con-
struct two additional dry decks, and one large floating dock, to
be divided by caissons, also additional frontage quays, and to
extend the appliances generally with the view to the construc-
tion and repair of iron and wooden ship, the manufacturing of
marine tend other engines, armour and other plate, angle Iron,
and every description of Iron work.
For thefpurposes of the Company the position of the premises
is not to be surpassed: they are in close proximity to Sutton
Harbour forming the sea-board of Catmintr anchors" and are
completely sheltered, first by the Plymouth Breakwater, and
next by the peninsula of Mount Batten, us addition to which the
approaches to the remises are completely commanded by the
guns of lb.
citadel. The branch station of the South Devon
Railway Company is situated in the immediate vicinity, and
H.M. Dockyard, Devoopork Is within an easy distance.
This Company will oiler unusual facilities for carrying on the
proposed business, In comequesce of both labourand the freight
of iron, coal, and timber being extremely low, added to which
math expense will be saved, as the materials will be delivered on
the quays of the Company free of all dues and charges.
At present there are no Iron ship building weeks at Plymouth,
and much inconvenience and expense often results to shipowners
In consequence of vessels outward bound having to put back to
London for repair.
The Directors consider It unnecessary to allude to the other
advantages posemeed by this Company, further than to state
that there Is a great and growing demand for such a aorta so they
propose to carry on.

by simply electing members to the Federal Con-

any negotiation or stipulation whatever. And this,
I am persuaded, is what you will now see.
Mr. Davie is a fugitive. Thome is not a town

federacy which the Federal arm does not now reach,
and there is no government, nor even the simula-
crum of a government left him. The Treasury is
broken up, and, in fact, bad abandoned its func-
tions before the fall of Richmond. It had no funds,

no credit, and no means of collecting taxes. A
forced loan had been made just before the emus-
_

tion, by which two or three millions of dollars in
specie were extracted from the Richmond banks ;
but this is not more than enough to secure a safe
retreat for the revolutionary leaders in foreign
countries. Confederate bonds were left in Rich-

THE QUEEN OF DENMARK AND
PRINCESS DAGMAR.

(fax • COWSPONDIIIT
COPENHAGEN, Aran, 20.

The persons assembled at the railway station,
outside the western gate of Copenhagen, on the
evening of April 18, were witnesses of a scene
of deep and painful interest. Telegrams had
been received from Nice stating that the Grand
Duke Nicolas, betrothed to the Princess Dog-
ma; was in a hopeless state (though a somewhat
more favourable telegram has since arrived), and
that he had expressed a wish to see the Princess
before his death. The Queen, the Crown Prince,
and Princess Dagmar, on the receipt of this sad in-
telligence, at once determined to start for
Nice. The King, taking with him his
two younger children, Princess Thyme, an
intelligent and well-educated little girl, in
her 12th year, who speaks English fluently, and
Prince Waldemar, a fine spirited boy, who is some
years younger, determined upon accompany them
sailer as Korsor, the port from which they were to
embark for Lubeck. A number of persons were
assembled at the railway station to witness the sad
and unusual spectacle, and to testify by their pre-
sence that respectful sympathy which, though
powerless to prevent, must always soothe and
soften the sorrows to which Numanity is heir. There
was something singularly sad and touching in the
occasion by which they were called together. A
young and interesting person, beloved anti respected
by all classes of her countrymen, and not least on
*mount d the unostentatious exercise of those
sterling qualities which are eommouly believed to
have rendered her a source of great comfort to her
family in the midst of the sorrows which war en-
tailed on them and their country, was just about
to start upon a journey, sadly different from that
on which, until recently, it had been supposed that
she would ere long leave her father's capital. She
was about to traverse Europe hastily to seek the
house of mourning, not a bridal home. Within
that home a prince lay dying, with whom it had
been thought that she would, one day, share the
throne and crown of All the Russian. Rumen
nature would not be human nature if it were not
stirred on such an occasion as this. The Danes may
have their faults, like the people of other countries,
but the qualities of the heart are good. Those who
live among them become acquainted with many acts
of sympathy and unobtrusive kindness which never
meet the public eye. They were not likely to be
wanting in their tribute of sympathy on the eve of
so sad a journey.
The persons assembled at the station manifested
that sympathy by their presence. Many, perhaps,
who staid away were influenced by feelings not less
sympathetic. Among those present at the railway
station were, Tillisch, President of the Coun-
cil ; David, Minister of Finance, and chief
spokesman for the government in all the
aseembliell ; and Breestrup, Miuuster of Justice and
Public Worship, who was summoned from
Berlin as a successor to Keltzen. The Rus-
sian Minister, Baron Nicholay, and many of
his colleagues, were also present, with several of the
persons attached to the court, and some of the
higher civil and military officials. The King and
' the Queen, and the Crown Prince, Princesses
Dagmar and Thyra, with little Prince Waldemar,
arrived at the railway station at about a quarter
past seven. They almost immediately entered the
royal carriage, and very shortly afterwards
the train took its departure. The Queen and
Princess Dagmar are said to have been
deeply moved, and indeed the whole scene
was solemn and affecting. The Queen, the
Crown Prince and Princess Dagmar are attended
on their journey by General Oxholw, the Grand
Marshal of the Court, and from Korsor to Lubeck
by Captain Irminger. The King and the two

much difficulty in securing the acquiescence, either
silent or expressed, of most of the States in the
operation of the decree. Wherever the Federal
armies have been, the slaves have either fled, or
have secured their freedom. In other places they
have become so "demoralized" as to be worthless
to their owners. Two hundred thousand of them
are now in the Federal army, and hundreds are en-
listing every week in Richmond. That grand up-
rising of the slaves for their owners, which Confede-
rate prophets in England predicted, in which the
mums, to use Mr. Lindsay's language, were to
" follow their young masters to the field," has
never taken place. The movement was made too
late, and failed, for reasons that were always
obvious. The negroes, not being mere beasts of
the field, nor yet idiots, would not enlist ; their
owners would not make them, and I believe
the total result of this awful measure, which was
to shake the North to its foundation and deluge
the continent with blood, was the recruiting of 200
men and boys at Richmond, of whom 80 bad been
hospital nurses, and were forced into the service ;
they all escaped during the evacuation. ♦s regards
the institution of slavery itself, Mr. Lincoln of course
has no power to touch it. Its existence, however,
apart from the slaves, is scarcely worth discussion,
and I have little doubt that within the next year
or two, when the smoke of the battle-field has
cleared away, and the landholders in the slave
States have seen free labour in actual operation,
the constitutional amendment abolishing it will be
adopted by the requisite majority of the States.
I do not mean to insinuate, by any means, that
all difficulties in the way of satisfactory reunion
are actually over, and that the coming summer is
to be given up to rejoicing. 1 have little doubt
that attempts to protract the resistance may be made
here and there ; that guerillas may have to be hunted
down by Federal cavalry ; that Kirby Smith may
attempt to hold out in Louisiana, and Magruder in
Texas. But these things will be but the swell after
the storm.. No tempest so tierce as that which has
been sweeping over the Southern States during the
last four years is ever followed by instantaneous
calm. But that we shall witness within a few
weeks the total abandonment in every quarter of
all attempt at armed resistance, I have no doubt
whatever. The troubles which the Union has still
to encounter will not be met on the battle-field, but
in Congress and at the polls, and that troubles are
in store for it no careful observer can avoid seeing.
They will pass off, but not without struggles that
will try the political machine sorely. The North is
so rejoiced over the conclusion of the war, is so
totally wanting, as it has always been, in all
feeling of rancour and vindictiveness which its
enemies have never wearied in ascribing to it, is now
so ready to fall upon the neck of the South and
weep, so eager for the giving, and hugging, and
singing the doxology with its late enemies, and
contains so many people who have always been in
secret sympathy with the Confederates, that there
is some fear that in coming together again it may
fail to exact the necessary guarantees for its own
peace and security, that it may bete° hasty in dis-
banding its armies, and may fail to take the pre-
cautions necessary to secure the rights of the ne-
groes whom it has emancipated. The protection
which the latter will obtain from the State laws at
the South, or even in the Federal courts after the
withdrawal of the Federal forces, will, I think, be
very small. They will still be ill-treated, mur-
dered, robbed of their wages, cheated in various
ways, and white juries will deny them all remedy.
This will probably stimulate the republican party at
the North into fresh activity, and drive them into
an agitation (for which, indeed, they are
alreadypreparing) for the extension of the franchise
to the freedmen. This is, however, a matter of
exclusively State jurisdiction, over which the Fede-
ral Congress has no authority, and the object of
the abolitionists can therefore only be accomplished
by an amendment to the constitution. In pressing
for this they would doubtless be supported by a
vigorous outcry from the negroes themselves, while
the Southern whites would be supported in resisting
it by their old allies, the Northern democrats.
Nobody who considers this question with reference
to all its consequenees, probable and possible, can
help seeing in it the materials for a political contest I
which may rival the anti-slavery struggle in bitter-
ness and intensity. And if I am not greatly mistaken
it is likely to be complicated by a vigorous attempt
on the part of the South, the democratic party, and
a portion of the Western republicans, to secure a
revision of the tariff in the interest of free trade.
The South will assuredly soon grow restive under
the enormous weight of taxation imposed to pay
the expenses of defeating them, and will endeavour
to secure a tariff which will meet the public ex-
penses without benefiting the manufacturers of the

younger children returned on the following morning,
the 19th inst., to Copenhagen. A telegram, received
on the same day, gives a somewhat more favourable
account of the Grand Duke, but those who must be
well informed appear to feel that the case is hope-
less. A telegram from Nice, of the 17th of
April, states that after the Grand Duke had
suffered for ten days from pains in the
head, congestion of the brain ensued. The
symptoms afterwards became more favourable,
but it is added that the last sacraments had been
administered to the Grand Duke in accordance
with the wishes of his mother, the Empress. The
Queen of Denmark, the Crown Prince, and Princess
Dagmar left Lubeck at 5 o'clock on the 19th inst.,
intending to proceed by Lauenburg and Luneburg
on their journey to Nice. The deep sympathy
of the public will go with them on their mournful
journey.

The Independence Beige says :—" The presence
in Rome of au ex-minister of the Ring of Italy,
Signor Vegezzi, continues to occupy the attention
of the political world. It is certain now that this
statesman is entrusted with an official mission con-
nected with the episcopal sees vacant in Italy. We
may add that his departure for Rome has been
occasioned by an autograph letter from the Pope to
Victor Emmanuel, iu which the Sovereign Pon-
tiff displays an ardent desire to see all the Italian
dioceses filled up in a regular manner."
The demi? National says :—" The preen gene-
rally has accorded little importance to the mission
which Signor Vegezzi, an ex-minister of Italian
government, has gone to fulfil in Rome. It was
supposed that this diplomatic attempt would, like
every reasonable proposition presented to the Holy
See, result in the well known non postumus.
Various circumstances, the importance of which
ought not to be exaggerated, seem to indicate that
this time the Court of Rome will be more tractable.
