(ram ova owe CONIMPONTIIIFT,)
COPENHAGEN, Ocr. 16.
The King has not yet returned from his journey
through Jutland and Schleswig, and this excursion
has thus been longer than was expected. It was sup-
posed that Flerusbarg would bare been the term of
the journey; but it now appears that the King had
determined likewise to Nan the south-western
part of the duchy of Schleswig, the so-called Eider-
stedt, with the towns of Twining and (larding. It
was somewhat doubtful what reception his Majesty
would meet with in this district, which during tho
war of 1848 distinguished itself by the fanaticism
with which it adopted the insurrectionary cause, and
where those of the inhabitants whose sympathies
are with Germany ende.svour to carry it with
hand over that part of the population which
Danish. From the accounts hitherto received re-
garding this part of the King's journe7, it seems,
however, that he has been received in this portion of
his realm with the greatest affection and cordiality.
A correspondent of the BerlingsAe Tidende describes
in the following words the King's reception in
Toning :
" Tonning is swarming to-day with county
people, in their characteristic national costume. The
last time the King was here few of the inhabitants
were seen in the streets, and a strange spirit of me-
lancholy seemed to brood over the place. To-day it
is different. The Danish flag is waving on the
greater number of houses, and the King has been
received with enthusiastic cheers. The people ac-
knowledge that they have been in the wrong; and
the reception afforded him to-day is the best satisfac-
tion that could be given the King. In truth, the mild
and friendly manner in which his Majesty has greeted
the people here cannot but make the inhabitants of
Tanning feel that he has forgotten bygones, and
that his love, even for those among his subjects who
in a moment of aberration rose up against him is
greater than that of most princes for their people?'
The journey from Tonnuig to Harding presented
an equally unexpected spectacle. The inhabitants
of all the villages along the King's passage—men,
women, and children—assembled outside their
houses, and cheered and waved their hats when We
Majesty drove past. In Harding, as in Tinning, all
the houses were decorated with the Danish flag, the
very flag which in 1848 was treated with so much
ignominy, and was superseded by the German tri-
color. Tee whole population was out of doors, and
the inhabitants of the surrounding country also
thronged the streets. It is neither unimportant nor
uninteresting to observe these facts, for they are
strongly indicative of a change in the sentiments of
the German population in Schleswig.
The question relative to the constitution for the
whole monarchy, to which I alluded in my last, and
which was to be pin by Mr. Ploug to the ministry,
' has not yet been broached in the FeMething (second
chamber). It seems almost as if all parties were
equally averse to starting a subject which can only
lead to irritating debates and not to any Rractioal
results. Upon the whole, the Holstein affairs seem
in abeyance at this moment, and it is likely that for
I the present no decisive steps will be taken on either
aide, the more so as the King of Prune; who is un-
doubtedly one of the most important personages con-
, cerned in the matter, is in so precarious a state of
health. The accounts of his Prussian Majesty's state
aro read here with deep interest, for he is generally
, regarded here, I know not whether justly or tin-
, justly, as personally hostile to Denmark and to
, Danish institutions, and certainly, the relations be-
tween him and us have undergone a great change
since 1846, when Frederick William IV. paid a visit
to King Christian VIII., in Copenhagen, and was
received with great distinction not only by the Danish
' king but also by the Danish people, who then re-
garded him as a friend and ally. Three years later
• his troops, without any provocation on the side of
• Denmark, overran a great portion of the terri-
tones of the Danish state, and from that
• time to this, his mediation and interference
• have ever exercised a paralysing influence on the
• development of our political organisation. A change
, of government in Prussia would therefore cause
I general satisfaction here, for it is hoped that a new
government would lend to a new system ; and should
. even the new system be decidedly hostile to Den-
, mark, I believe that such open hostility would be
much preferred to the intriguing and irritating
• policy which Prussia has assumed towards Denmark
I since 1848.
The debates in the Diet have hitherto not been of
; much interest to foreigners. The ministry have sub-
; mined the bill for the abolition of guilds and for the
I introduction of freedom of trade and industry, bat,
• in order not to frighten the adherents of the old
I state of things, the government proposes that the
new law shall not come into force before 1862. The
first reading of the bill in the Folkething proved
, that, upon the whole, opinion is in its favour, and it
. is to be hoped that the debates upon it will be
brought to a close during the present session.

PRESENTATION SWORD TOR TIM DUKE OP CAM-
BIIIDGE.—Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton-street, has just
completed the sword which the City Corporation is about to
present to the Duke of Cambridge. In respect of workman-
ship and material it is one of the fittest weapons ever pre-
sented to a soldier. It le • state sword of strict regulation
pattern. The kilt is or teary, carved. The transverse part
le of gold, ornamented with wreathe of laurel and acorns, the
worm of diamonds, the leaves of emeralds. In the centre, a
sword and marshal's baton an crowed ou a red enamel
ground. On each side are oriental cabochon emeralds, with
which diamonds are alternated. The mounting of the entire
upper portion of the sword is very finely executed. The
blade,which is elaborately damaskeened, beam the following
inscription :—" The freedom of the City (together with this
sword) was presented to hi. Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of the British Array, by
tho Corporation of London, in testimony of their high net
-
mat ion of hie dieting-Welted character rod service.. A .D. 1857."
On the other Fide, together with other damaekeening,
the City arms aro engraved. Thu scabbard, of gold 2 ie
covered with earktimentr, both of eel and material. hoer
the top la a panel containing the crown end the prince's
cipher. a ' reversed, in diamonds, on a red enamel
ground, a combination which has a rich effect. In a panel
below the City arms ore wrought in clones, on a whits
enamel ground. The lower part of the ecabbard is mused
obliquely with labels, on which ore inscribed the words
‘• Cnmem," "Alma," Inkermann." " Sebutopol," and
beneath these to seen ohs wrathful head of the British lion.
The presentation is appointed to take place at Guildhall on
the 4th of November.
A RUN or MISFORTUNE.—The old adage, "Mitt
fortune aldose comes sine.," woe fully realised within the
last few days. Mr. J. Codling, farmer, of Lioeiugton. hod
the misfortune to lose his pocket-book in returning from
Caistor fair on Saturday lost. It contained notes to the vales
of 401. and • cheque value 20W. On Monday last one of his
servants was at plough with two valuable horses; they took
fright at something, and the boy being unable to control
them they ran away, and, most extraordinary, both
over a hedge into the road, with the plough after themi.eag
of the horses, which was a Way cor-014 colt, of the Yalu of
from 301. to 40f., id, and the othcr falling over it, broke its
back end died in a few minutes. This was a great favourite
with Mr. Odling, and wee highly, rallied. The young one
was much Nand by Um fall, end will most likely be of little
worth. frau the ask received on its knees, !co.—Mon./ea
Zwerry.
