Daus, the meet lafariated absolutists new

now insisted on. Eves en the popular effer-

DIMINARK and the hottest Dees of his court would
have shrunk, nay did shrink, from pro,. Atming Hol-
stein es en integral part of the Dasish empire. In-
deed. we might as well have regulated the succession
to Hanover by an English act of parliament or by an
order in council. Bat Rusk is sow iespaing her
own laws and views upon Germany. France, from
Pskov to Germany and sycophancy to Rusk,
ibises to with the latter power; and Ragland is
aeanssiled to lend its head to this most flagrant la-
'teethe, and thus inflict a never-to-be-forgotten wand
ruts honour, the independence, and the right, el
oats eat sot about to defend Prena is all its sets.
Prussia& troops ought never to have pawed the
Ryder. Bat it is undeniable that Procne did not
march to the defence of the Duchies, till the Danes had
without a shadow of right invaded them for the
avowed purpose of abrogating their liberties and de-
stroying their independence. When the Bing of
DENMARK in 1846 threatened the rights of the dallies,
the old German Diet interfer, and resolved
that they would defend Baskin as a part of
the cenbleratioo ; as well as the relations of Hol-
stein with Schleswig, as part of the
right of Holstein. It was upon this ground, this law,
as kid down by the old German Diet, and not from
any new or revolutionary principle, that Prussia
acted, when she marched to the occupation and de-
buts of the Duchies.

Now however, Prussia retreats even from the
pretensions of the old Diet. She abandons Schles-
wig, whilst the pretensions of the Powers, and of
their organs, embrace not only Schleswig, but Hol-
stein, and inmost on planting a Rossoobeolutiat compact
monarchy, on the ruins of the German confederation
and of its rights. More than this could scarcely be
attempted or demanded, am the result of a long and a
suoccessful war. And we may depend upon it, that
it will yyet require a long war, are sash a scheme be
ouarelidated and anomplished.
For this reason, if for no other, we would eschew it.
England should wash its hands of this Danish ques-
tion. The mate of things and of territories, which we
guaranteed in a treaty of the last century, has long
since past away. if a Danish monarchy is to be pre-
!served in power and independence, as the keeper of
the keys of the Baltic, its position must be alliance with
Germany, not is antagonism to it. But in order to this,
the first requirement is, the respect by the King of
DUMAILL of the rights and liberties of his German
provbxos.

PRINCE ALBERT obtained some little approbation,
not very long ago, for commencing a suit in the Court
of Coanoery. His Royal Highness, if there is any
thing in the threatening, of the Antes, is likely
soon to have something more to do with the
LORD CHANCELLOR. Parliament having scouted
the complaints of the malcontents who object to the
Exhibition of 1831, it btu; been resolved (so the Times
of yesterday informed us) to try what Lord Chancel-
lor WILDS may think upon the subject, and to move
for an injunction against the building in Hyde Park,
on the ground that it interferes with private rights
and interests. An interesting prominency will thus
be given to the earlier decisions by the new LORD
Ciuweemon, and no very pleasant life may his lord-
ship expect of it. It is clear from the tone and temper
of the 2Tmes that if his lordship does not at
once decide to plasm them, he will expose him-
self to every sort of animadversion and abuse.
The ease of "The rinses v. Prince Albert is re
the Exhibition of 18.51," is the cue on which
the Times intends to form its judgment of Lord
TRURO'S fitness for the woolsack. " Public attention,"
says the Times, significantly pointing to its leading
columns, "public attention will be keenly directed to
the course taken on this application by the new LORD
CHANCELLOR, who will have an opportunity of vindi-
cating the thorough independence of his character
almost as soon NI he takes his seat in court." It is
perf<ctly evident from this what the new LORD CHAN-
CRLLOR has to expect. The woolsack will be a bed
of thorns or a couch of roses, according to his judg-
ment. If no injunction is granted his lordship. may
make up his mind to descend to posterity as (in the
estimation of the Times) a most incompetent
Lord Chancellor. If, coetrary to reason, equity, and
justice, he puts his veto on the contemplated building,
then be will be a Solon (in the columns of the 7.mes)
as long as be continues to administer the law, and a
wreath of (Printing-holm-square) bays will encircle
his monument whenever he descends to the inevitable
tomb.

The Times in announcing, exclusively, the terrible
machinery of law which is to be put in operation
spinet Prince ALBERT and all the Royal Commis-
non, has left us one duty of some importance to
perform. It bu omitted to indicate the nature
of and the facts contained in the formidable affi-
davits which may be submitted to the
court. The new LORD CHANCELLOR, to whose
course upon this subject public attention will be
" keenly directed " (every morning at the hour of break-
fast), will doubtless have before him "the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth," whereon to
form his judgment of the merits of the application. In
such cue, the affidavits for the Times will explain to
the LORD CHANCELLOR the exact position of Hyde-
park-terrace, Kensington-road, or as the fashion of
the locality denominates it (" Road" smacking a trifle
of the commonalty), Hyde-park-tame', Keneiagton-
yore. The affidavits will also tell the CHANCELLOR
how there lives at N 0.4, in Hyde-park-terrace as afore-
said, ALEXANDER DOBIE, gent., one, &e., an estim-
able friend of oars, of whom we speak with most
sinoere respect, though he is solicitor to the Times!
The affidavits, no doubt, will tell Lord Tadao how
the editorial staff of our cotemporary get some of the
beet cookery possible upon Mr. Down's mahogany, to
say nothir g of that particular Madeira which ocossion-
ally lends so much zest and spirit to an article. The
ffid aavits will further relate how ALEXANDER Donis,
gent., &0., does not like dust, end bow he is very
tearful that daring thrawoenar 1861 the Kensington-road
(Gore, we beg his ), may not lay so well anger
the operation o the diurnal watering as it
is wont to do at present. It should further
be related, in the documents aforesaid, that ALEX-
ANDER DOME is accustomed to pay 3d. for hie ordi-
nary morning's expedition on the Putney omnibus,
from the aforesaid Kensington-road or Gore, to or
towards hie office in Lancaster-place, Strand ; and
how he understands that it is in the contemplation of
the 'bus proprietors to take advantage of the exhibi-
tion and raise the charge to 61., to the great detri-
ment of his, said ALEXANDER DOME'S, pocket. Fur-
ther, the affidavit may, go on to state that maid
ALEXANDER Dome knows an amiable and affectionate
lady in the immediate vicinity who, if present cacti-
