DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 5.
I have already informed you telegraphically of
the appointment of a committee of the Volksthing
to examine the late ministers previous to bringing
in a formal act of impeachment. That committee is
composed of the five-and-twenty members most
inimical to the former cabinet, aod with Bishop
Monrad as President. The princial charge against
them was for having illegally, and without the con-
sent of the chambers, exceeded the budget and ar-
bitrarily spent money not voted by the Diet.
Yesterday the whole of the Volksthing was con-
vened for the purpose of hearing the report of the
committee, and when this was done it was agreed
to impeach the late ministers, and make them re-
sponsible for having exceeded the disbursements
fixed by themselves (the Volksthing) in the budget ;
and the financial committee of the Volksthing was
ordered to extract those sums on which the charge
was to be founded. _ _ _

To-day the plenary committee held a sitting, and
after long discussion, in which the conduct of the
late ministers was defended only by Whither and
Colonel Tscherning, it was decided by a large majo-
rity (the whole house against seven votes) to refuse
to recognise the whole of the sums thus arbitrarily
spent by the Ministers of War and Marine, with a
few trifling exceptions, as well as those paid for the
expenses of the Diet and tho purchase of the Post-
office steamers. ThelDeputy Herr Hage was ordered
to bring up the report.
A further proposal of impeachment was not made,
and the steps to be eventually taken will be left to
the decision of the Volksthing when the report is
brought up.
Although we have had a thaw for several days,
these is no alteration in the state of the ice, The

MARSEILLES, March I2.—The death of the Em-
peror Nicholas has caused no relaxation here in
the expedition of troops and military stores to the
East. On the contrary, there never was more
activity displayed in that respect than at the pre•
sent moment. The authorities here have received
instructions to prepare for the reception of
50,000 men and 8,000 horses, which are to be
shipped here and at Toulon for the Crimea. Every
effort is being made to provide lodgings for them,
without billeting them on the inhabitants. The
sick and wounded, which arrive here in vast num-
bers every week by the steam-packets from Con-
stantinople, are forwarded as quickly as possible to
their respective homes. The mail packet which
sailed yesterday for Corsica was crowded with
invalids, natives of that island. The Zouaves are
despatched to Algeria, with which arrangement
they appear not to be dissatisfied. The frost-bitten
are carefully attended in the military hospital, and
300 beds are -kept vacant in the civil hospital in
case of necessity. The barrack of the Corderie has
likewise been fitted up for the reception of mili-
tary invalids.
The port of the Joliette is again crowded with
steamers and transports chartered by Government
for the conveyance of troops. The British
steamers, the City of Mancitestor, the Glasgow,
and the French steamers, la France, Bresil, and
Byzantin are capable of receiving 4,000 men and a
number of horses. The Anaelican clipper Ocean
Herald is expected to transport 400 horses. A
number of the artillery and engineers of the Im-
perial Guard are waiting for embarkation, but the
hurricane which has prevailed here for the last
three days has retarded their. departure ; in fact,
the cold is more severe at present than at any pe-
riod during the winter. _

There appears to be no longer any doubt alt to
the Emperor's departure for the East. A letter
has been received here by the family of an officer
serving in the steam corvette-of-war Primoguet, at
present in Toulon, announcing that the captain has
received orders to accompany the Imperial yacht,
Reine Hort6nse, to Marseilles to receive the Em
peror and a portion of the Imperial Guard by the
20th inst.

Letters from the French before Sebastopol, and
those received by the families of officers, natives of
Marseilles, are confined to domestic matters, strict
orders having been issued by General Canrobert to
all officers to refrain from writing on military sub-
jects. One of the writers who had au opportu-
nity of visiting the Allied camps,. among other
facts, states that the French army is composed of
60,000 men capable of bearing arms, and the
British 8,000.
A letter from Toulon, dated this morning, an-
nounces the arrival there of the steam-frigate
Orenoque from Constantinople. The following
troops are expected at Toulon to be embarked for
tilt Crimea. The division of General Herbillon,
consisting of 7,100 men and 800 horses, and a di-
vision of the Imperial Guard composed of 7,500
men and 1,300 horses.

Telegraphic advices considered favourable to the
prospects of peace have reached the City from
Vienna. Prince Gorts3hakoff, who has at length
received his powers in duo form, had signed a
public document, recognising generally the princi-
ples which are to serve as the bases of negotiations,
and which it will be the business of the Plenipo-
tentiaries to define and apply. Other private ad-
vices concur with the above, stating that the nego-
tiations are proceeding satisfactorily.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received Cape papers to the 29th of
January inclusive—a month later than those pre-
viously received. The news now to hand is im-
portant, inasmuch as it conveys the gratifying in-
telligence that the frontier was again tranquil, and
that all immediate apprehensions of an outbreak
were .at an end. The tactics, however, of the
Kafiri were difficult to comprehend ;.,and though
every appearance of war had vanished, the colonists
were on the alert., and were preparing themselves
against all future contingencies.

CONVICTION OF MISS DOTIDET.—Miss Doudet was
convicted on Monday, before the Tribunal of Correctional

ARRIVAL OF LORD CARLISLE.—DUBLIN, Tuesday
Morning.—The Earl of Carlisle arrived at Kingstown at
12 o'clock last night, by the Prince Arthur, from Holy-
head. His Excellency was received on landing by three
of the directors of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway,
and conducted to the special train which was in waiting
to convey him to Dublin. Upon arriving at Westland
row, the earl took his seat in one of Lord St. Germans's
carriages, and proceeded to the Viceregal lodge. Mr.
Horsman, the new Chief Secretary, was prevented from
accompanying his Excellency by the pressure of public
business ; but it is expected that he will arrive this day,
in time to perform the duties of his office at the investi-
ture of the Lord-Lieutenant. ,

CITY or LONDON THEATRE.—This well-conducted es-
.tablishment has made a most extraordinary hit by the
production of a novel and instructive drama, entitled
Money and Misery. The effects are powerful in the
extreme. The delicate daughter of a noble lord is driven,
with her infant child, from the roof of her cruel parent
to wander on a desolate heath amidst a fearful snow
storm, where she and the child perish. Years after the
spirit of the mother appears to the repentant father.
The supernatural appearance of the mother and child is
admirably managed. Description would fall short of
the -excellence of this heart-stirring drama. It was
written by the late Mr. John Wilkins, and may be
ranked among his best productions. The theatre is
nightly crowded to witness it ; and, although it has
run six weeks, the attraction is unabated. We strongly
advise a visit to this theatre.

AN ILL-GOTTEN HOARD.--Yesterday several prosecu-
tions were prefrred before Mr. Serjeant Adams, at the
Middlesex Sessions, by the parish authorities of St.
Luke, Old-street, against keepers of disorderly houses,
in Hatfield-street. The parties charged were John
Newton, 43 ; Eliza Hopkins, 43 ; Harriet Young, 60 ;
and Sarah Gordon, 53. The two first-named pri-
soners lived together as man and wife, and kept
the house, No. 2, Hatfield-street, described as a
brothel of the worst description. The prisoners
Young and Gordon kept the house, No. 3, adjoining,
which was also proved to be an establishment of a most
infamous kind. The principal persons concerned in
it was one Ann 'Robinson, now in Newgate on a like
charge. When the two prisoners, who acted as servants
to Robinson, were arrested, and the house searched, two
watcher, some clothes, and Bank Stock certificates to the
amount of 1,0651., in the name of Ann Robinson. were
taken possession of by the police. The Assistant-Judge
sentenced Hopkins, Newton, and Young each to six
months' hard labour, and Gordon to throe months, she
having been a sort of servant under Young.

THE IRON TRADIC.—Since our last notice the prices of
iron have considerably declined, and a downward ten-
dency still prevails, notwithstanding the general demand
has shown symptoms of some slight improvement, and
much less. despondency marks the accounts from our
