The War in Denmark.

(From the Times Special Correspondent lately st the Danish

Head-quarters.)
asiNonz, May 5.

Like Dresden or Munich, Copenhagen takes rank
a 3 an artistic capital. Oae man, great and good,
has left upon it the mark of his genius; a man who
could have created Scandinavian sculpture, but has
only petrified that of Greece and Italy. It has
museums, highly improving as schools, but dreary
as lounging places. It has theatres, too, with heavy
dramas and propriety ballets. Unable to endure it
at the end of a week, I took the steamer on Tuesday
afternoon for Holsingore (E►sinore). In spite of the
cruel, nipping, north-east wind, I enjoyed two hours
on the Sound. The spot has great interest even
after you have seen the Dardanelles and the Bose
phorus, Messina and Gibraltar. I felt more at home
in dead Elsinore than in living Copenhagen. Were
I the King of Denmark,l would have no other home
than Hamlet's old castle, of Kronberg Slot. I
visited it yesterday morning at the earliest hour,
when I had the place all to myself. The site is
unequalled in the North; the building itself is
attractive. It belongs to the Gothic style of the
latter part of the 16th century, and has much in
common with the Exchange and those two or three
palaces in Copenhagen which were probably an eye-
sore to Thorwalsden, but which still delight men
of more eclectic taste. Wero it a ruin, and had
it a green, bold hill for a background, it might
vie in picturesqueness with the turrets and halls of
dismantled Heidelberg. As it is, it stands out white
and glittering on its bold headland (its "ore," or
ear), a conspicuous object, visible for miles by land
and sea, the great landmark of the Sound; a solid
and not inelegant edifice of white stone, with leaden
spires and pinnac!ee, within a labyrinth of bastions
and batteries, of moats and casemates, which have
ceased to be formidable in war, and might be turned
into flower beds and groves, and become a perfect
paradise in times of peace. The castle is out of
town, adjoining the town, lording it over land and
sea, the sovereign of the strait, the very neet for a
sea-king.
Elsinore is dying, dead: the little town could
not survive the abolition of the Sound dues, on
which it throve for so long a time. It has two or
three heavy old churches, towering and lumbering,
giving a certain air of grandeur and stateliness to
the place ; it boasts a few consular establishments,
with lofty flagstaffs; its fish market is still renowned,
and the hotel is respectable. In " Hamlet," after all
is said, lies the spell that will for ever attach itself
to dear, declining Elsinore. It was by the steamer
Hamlet that I went up the Sound the other day;
it was by the Horatio that I came down this morn-
ing; and you may go to-morrow by the Ophelia.
They took me to a spot in the woods, an elevated
spot, where, embosomed in a grove of beech trees
200 years old, there stands a mound of earth, sur-
mounted by a dwarfish pillar, which, I was told,
marks the spot of Hamlet's grave. There may be
doubts es the last abode of the ",Prince of Den-
mark;" there can be none as to his home in the
Kronberg Castle. Had I been there by moonlight,
instead of in the glare of a clear frosty morning, I
should have been as sure of falling in with the
" old mole" burrowing the ground of the bastion as
the worthy Dane was who hewed at the apparition
with his partisan, and clove it in twain, making
no more impression on its ghostly substance than
he would have done upon vapour or gas. It
Shakspere spun " Hamlet" out of his brain,
then ho created the castle and the town and the
whole surrounding scenery, both land and sea.
You may as well disbelieve the evidence of your
own senses as question the reality of the action
which has made Elsinore for ever memorable.
Denman's "Denmark" may be a mere tissue of
myths, but "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" is your
true history. I lived the whole drama over again,
and was, for a whole hour, in the seventh heaven.
Presently, however, I fell from my dreamy altie
tude, and a new, a living interest spread over the
scene. ,

There is always something earnest, and almost
holy, about a nation's boundaries, especially if the
line is one of God's own drawing ; not an arbitrary
limit, traced by the hand of men, but a national
front lee, which may be politically trespassed upon,
but which cannot be materially effaced. You ex-
perience the feeling as you stand on an Alpine sum-
mit before a milestone bearing the name "France"
on the western side, and that of "Italy" on the
eastern. You are impressed with it as you walk
on the bridge at Bale, with the arrowy stream of
the Rhino rushing beneath your feet—a barrier
between the Gaul and the Teuton to the end of
time. Here, on either side of the Sound, two human
families, or rather two branches, twin branches of
a human family, stand looking at each other, across
this mere ditch of sea water, at barely two or three
miles' distance—as they stood looking at each other
for centuries. Seen
only a mile or two inland, the
towers and spires of Helsingore so blend themselves
with the houses and churches of Helsingford on the
other side that the optical illusion is complete, and
you fancy your eyes are
resting upon one and the
same town. Yet the two coasts are and have been
eternally divided, and the people on them have been
almost invariably estranged from one another ever
since their earliest settlement in these nothern re-
gions. This land which I tread is Denmark ; yonder,
across the water, all aloQg the Sound on my right,and
throughout that vast expanse of the Cattegat on my
left, lies Sweden. Danes and Swedes were originally
one people; Scandinavia seemed intended for one
the harsh
State ; language that grates on my ears
on this side is by no means unlike the dialect which,
no less harshly, Would greet me were I to land on
11
the opposite shore. But, with the exception of a
i
few rare instances n which union between the
countries was established by main force, the two
kindred races have never coalesced; the two
brothers have at all times been the worst of neigh-
time was
neigh-
bours. The when they seemed to live
only to inflict all possible harm upon each other;
and the day has "me' now, when one looks with
sterile sympathy, at least, if not with perfect in-
difference, on the downfall of the other. Sweden
has been but a lukewarm, useless friend to Den-
mark in her hour of need. She was lavish of her
held meetings, good wishes, she she voted money,
bat she lent no efficient aid whatever. The Swedish

present moment may almost be numbered on one's

Teutonic and Slavonic ambition will, in all proba-

either bank of this Teti Sound. Like the Polish,
the Italian, and so many other races, these brave
Northerners are threatened With subjection, if not
with destruction, less by the strength of their
neighbours than by division among g themselves.
We hear, indeed, in Copenhagen, as in Stock-
holm and Christiania, of a longing for unity—of
national aspirations; but such yearnings arc re-
stricted to a small party ; they are the dream of
a few intelligent, wenereus, but impracticable
enthusiasts. The unusual antipathies between the
lower classes are too deeply rooted, the present and
momentous interests of the leading men of the two
countries diverge too wldely• Like most other
statesmen, the men at the head of the Swedish
government live by the day—they take no heed

The election of a representative for Stockport in-
6tead of the late Mr. Kershaw, took place yester-
day at the Market Hall. About 1,000 people were
present.

The Mayor (Mr, John Eskrigge) presided as re-
turning officer.
Alderman ROBERT M'CLIIRE nominated, and
Alderman WILLIAMSON seconded, Mr. Edward W.
Watkin as a fit and proper person to represent the
borough of Stockport in Parliament.
There being no other candidate, the MAYOR called
for a show of hands, when Mr. Watkin was elected
unanimously.

Mr. WATKIN was received with loud cheering.
He thanked the electors for their confidence, and
promised to do all he could to represent fairly their
opinions, but supporting those measures which
would be for the good of all classes of the community:
After paying a tribute to the worth of their late
representative, he said there were two pieces of good
news which had been received that morning. One
was that Lord Palmerston was getting better, and
the other that there was more chance of peace
through the action of the Conference. (Applause.)
He was not one of those who were for peace at any
price, but he was one who would pay any and every
price, except the entire forfeiture of national honour,
to prevent the bloodshed and loss of life and spolia•
tion that accompanied war, whether successful or
the contrary. (Cheers.) We were pretty well bound
over in this country to keep the peace. We had a
national debt of £800,000,000, the interest of which
being nearly £25,000,000 cost nearly £1 a head in
taxation. Then we had a naval and military
expenditure of equal amount, which increased
the taxation to nearly £2 a head or £l2 for
each family. He hoped, therefore, our states-
men would hesitate before mingling in Euro-
pean quarrels which never brought good to this
country, but often prolonged the contest and had made
us to be regarded on the Continent as meddling
islanders, rather than a people who had a healthy
public opinion to be brought to bear upon sur-
rounding Statas. Now we were at peace, let us
strain every possible exertion to keep so. At the
same time there were occasions when the feelings
andfsentiments of the people might become so out-
raged that peace was impossible. He most ear-
nestly hoped and prayed that the Conference might
end in a fair and just decision with regard to Den-
mark, and a cessation of the outrages which during
the last few months had shocked the conscience of
the whole world. (Applause.) Denmark, after
all, with its 4,000,000 people, was an honest State,
with a free constitutional Government. In the
north of Europe there were Sweden, Denmark,
Holland, and Belgium, at which the line must be
drawn, for in the northern portion of Europe all
the large populations were practically under des-
potic or military Governments. In the south of
Europe there was certainly the gratifying spectacle
of the newly created and united kingdom of Italy,
where Parliamentary Government was now " upon
its trial," Therefore it was but natural to desire
that that form of government which made thick-
ing,' men, namely, self-government, should be pro.
mated, and he should grieve to think that consti-
tutional government was about to be weakened and

its area contracted Ly the destruction of Denmark.
(Cheers.) But, while rejoicing in the prospects, of
peace, and feeling proud of the freedom and great-
pees of our country, we should at ways remember
•hat the way to k.-.,ep England great w:,-; always to
he endeavouring to remedy political defects by in-
ixoducing into the machine cf the State tha most
modern inventions. (Hear, hear.) We had in
our constitution a great deal that was good and
something that was bad, and the bad was always
a canker that extended and increased, and
that must be removed. In this country there
were about 6,000,000 full grown men ; about the
same number of householders; and only 1,100,000
electors. He did not mean to say that it was neces-
sary-, in order to have a free country and preserve
individual liberty,there should be an enormous mass
of voters, but it was necessary that every class
should be fairly represented in that constituent body
which was really the foundation of legislation. We
might get on very well with a limited constituency,
but it so happened that the number of members
were not fairly proportioned to the number of con-
stituencies : 200,000 electors returned rather more
than one.•half of the members, and it was just possi-
ble that some dirty little borough in the south of
England under territorial influence, neutralised the
votes of the representatives of an important town
like Stockport. The scale was often turned by 30
or 40 electors; and with regard to many of these
small boroughs, under the system of unfair division
of the franchise, influence, bribery, and beer were
the three elements which returned members to Par-
liament. (Cheers end laughter.) Under these cir-
cumstances, many of those good measures which the
Reform Act might have given had been prevented,
and what we had now to direct our attention to was
an amendment of that reform. (Hear.) In 1859
Lord Derby's Government brought in a Reform
Bill, but although there were some good features
about it, it was not what might be called a good
one. The present Government came in on the
statement that the Tory Reform Bill was bad and
that they were going to give us a better. The Go-
vernment had not done so, and it would rest with
the electoral body to say whether at the next
general election (which might take place in a few
weeks or months) the question of an amendment
of the Reform Bill shall be that which will carry
a candidate on the hustings. Much of the re-
sult, it should be recollected, depended upon the
electors themselves. Parliament was pretty much
what the electors made it. If there was a con-
stituency of drunkards, there would not be many
teetotal members of Parliament, and if a constitu-
ency were composed entirely of members of the
Church of England, but few of the representatives
would be dissenters. If a constituent body
was earnest and liberal its representatives
would correspond, and those remedial measures
which were thought necessary could be obtained.
He therefore looked with the greatest anxiety upon
what the public opinion of the country might say
when these gentlemen who were denominated the
servants of the people were sent to the place whence
they came, and had to stand before their supporters
at a general election. When we were spending
nearly £70,000,000 a year in taxation, it was quite
time to look about and see whether by the prosecu-
tion of peace we could not obtain retrenchment, and
whether by retrenchment we might not reduce some
of those grievous burdens of taxation which were
felt so much among various classes of the community.
(Cheers.) It was only tha manufactures and
commerce of the country that could enable us to
bear it. Our imports and exports added together
had grown to the enormous amount of £460,000,000
sterling, and the difference of profit between what
we sent out and took in was more than i 100,000,000
and it was out of that we paid the greatest portion
of our taxation, and if the country ceased to be com-
mercial and manufacturing its glory would be de-
parted, and it would sink to the level of a second or
third rate power. When he heard persons passing
strictures on free trade, and when he found there
were still a few whose eyes were not yet opened to
the great results of allowing people to transact their
business where and how they pleased, he was com-
pelled to go back and compare the present period

PRICE ...... ...4d.
STAMPED.....Sd.

with the time when Richard Cobden first appeared
on the Stockport hustings. (Cheers.) Since then
our imports and exports had so increased, that
the profit had grown from 35 to 102 mil-
lions. The increase also of consumable commodi-
ties was astonishing, and the food had been ,
con-
sumed by what were termed the lower order of
society, who did not previously get enough. It wan
by such comparisons as those that people could esti-
mate the great and blessed results achieved by those
free trade measures. (Applause.) If there was one
thing in this country of which we had more reason
to be proud than another it was that glorious,
healthy, and manly public opinion whieb,whenevEr
it was aroused, could carry everything before it.
That opinion was founded upon the honesty, truth-
fulness, and love of fair play of the English people at
large. It was improved and strengthened and puri-
fied by teachings from the thousands of free pulpits
which distinguished and illustrated the religions
freedom of this land; it was nerved, guided, and in-
structed by a free press, and whenever it chose to
rouse itself in its might, there was no question of
difficulty it could not disentangle, no wrong it could
not redress. (Cheers.) It forced Catholic Emanci-
pation from the Duke of Wellington, it compelled
reform from the Parliament of borough-mongers, it
extracted free trade from the Protectionist Govern-
ment of Sir Robert Peel, and it had yet to make and
would make many changes beneficent and blessed,
which would increase the power and glory and
strength of this country. (Cheers.)
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the Mayor.

THE BREADALBANE PEERAGE.-CAMPBELL V. CAMPBELL.

The Prince Consort ironclad, 35 guns, 4,045 tons and
1,103 horse power of engines, Capt. G. 0. Willes, C. 8.,
arrived at Shithead yesterday afternoon, from Cowes
Roads, immediately following on her Majesty's departure
from Osborne for Windsor. She is ordered to take on
board supernumeraries and stores and sail again imme-
diately to join the Channel Fleet in the Downs.
Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, 2,345
tons, 600 horse power, Capt. the Prince of Leiningen,
K.C.8., will make an official trial of her machinery on
Thursday next, outside Portsmouth harbour, on the com-
pletion of repairs to her engines and the fitting of her new
boilers, preparatory to being handed over by the dockyard
authorities as ready for her Majesty's service.
The Salamis, 2 gun paddlewheel despatch vessel, of 835
tons, and 250 horse power of engines, Commander Sul tie,
will, according to private advices, sail from Sheerness for
" the North" on Thursday or Friday next. The Salamis is
a sister vessel to the Admiralty new yacht Enchantress,
possesses a high rate of speed, and would be most in-
valuable as a look-out vessel attached to the Channel Fleet
in the event of any collision with the Austro-Prussian fleet
in the Baltic.

The question in this appeal from the Court of Session is '
whether that Court was right in refusing to aepoint a judi-
cial factor, or receiver, to receive the rents and administer
the estates of the earldom of Breadalbane until it be ascer-
tained by the proceedings now pending who is the true heir
entitled to succeed to the estates and earldom. The points
immediately before the house were of a technical character,
and involved a great deal of dry legal argument. They
were, first, whether the Court of Session were or were not
bound in case of a disputed succession to appoint a receiver
of the rents where a prima facie case had been made out on
both sides; secondly, whether the appellant had made out a
prima facie case; and, thirdly, whether or not the respon-
dent was entitled, as heir apparent, to keep the possession
he alleged he had acquired during the proceedings at law.
The facts of the case as stated during the course of the
arguments were of considerable interest, bearing as they do
upon the succession to the earldom and to the estates at-
tached to the title, the value of the latter being more than
£50.000 per annum. These facts are as follow :—The second
Marquis and fifth Earl of Breadalbane died Nov. 8, 1862,
without issue, being at the time possessed under deeds of
entail of very large estates. On his death the title of mar-
quis became extinct, and two claimants appeared, each of
whom contended that he was the sixth Earl of Breadalbane,
and as such entitled to possession of the estates. The first
of these claimants, John Alexander Gavin Campbell,
alleged that he was the heir male of his great grandfather,
William of Glenfalloch,
.who was the substitute in the
deeds of entail under which the late marquis held the estates
and was related to that nobleman in a Scotch cousinship
of 10 removes. William of Glenfalloch died in 1791,
leaving seven sons-1, Colin, whose issue became extinct
in the person of John Breadalbane in 1812 ; 2, James,
who left one son, William John Lambe, the father of the
first claimant ; 3, Duncan, who died unmarried in 1810 ; 4,
Archibald, who died without leaving heir male in 1806; 5,
William, who died unmarried ice 1791 ; 6, John of Boreland,
who left a son Charles, the father of Lieut. Chas. William,
the second claimant; and 7, Alexander, whose issue, if any,
would not affect the present claims. The first claimant
therefore is the eldest in the euccession, and were his legi-
timacy unquestioned he would undoubtedly be the rightful
Earl and the owner of the estates. Charles Wm. Campbell,
the adverse claimant, now a lieutenant in the 19th Bengal
Cavalry, however, contends that John is illegitimate, on the
ground that his grandmother, Mrs Elizabeth Maria Blan-
chard, at the time she married his grandfather, Capt. Jas.
Campbell, in 1782, was a married woman, and that her hus-
band, one Christopher Ludlow, was then alive, and that
therefore, such second marriage being void, their sou Wil-
liam. the father of the claimant, was illegitimate. In order
to make out this case Lieut. Charles Campbell states that
he has discovered in the marriage registry of Chipping
Sudbury, in Glocestershire, the following entry :
" Christopher Ludlow, of ys parish, and Elizabeth Maria
Blandlard, of ye saute parish, were married in this church
by licence this fifth day of June, in the year one thousand
seven hundred and seventy-six, by me,
" R. Conn, Curate."
In the register of baptisms in the same parish is an entry
of the birth of a son Daniel, the issue of Christopher and
Eliza Ludlow, in 1777. Lieut. Campbell proposes to prove
that shortly after the birth of this child this Mrs Ludlow
eloped from her husband, whbZh event caused the latter so
much distress that he gave up his practice as a medical
man in Sudbury, and went to America, where he was for
some time garrison surgeon in New Yors. He returned to
this country some time in 1783, and died in January, 1784,
as proved by an obituary notice in the Bristoi newspaper
of Saturday, the 31st of January, 1784. In addition to this
evidence of his existence at that date, his will is produced,
dated June 24, 1784, which was proved in the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury, and probate granted in 1784. Captain
James Campbell, the grandfather of John, is stated to have
married a Mrs Eliza or Elizabeth Maria Blanchard, the
only evidence of such marriage being the following letter,
written in June,lBo7, by the lady, seeking pecuniary assist-
ance, to the War-office, after her alleged husband's death,
which occurred in October, 1806 :
" I am the widow of Captain James Campbell, late quar-
termaster in the Ist battalion of the Breadalbane Fencibles,
at the reduction of which he got a company in the Cam-
brian Rangers ; and when that regiment was reduced, from
ill health he was rendered unfit to enter again jn his Ma-
jesty's service, and on the 24th of October, 1806, my hus-
band died inselvent, and left me with three children with-
out the smallest means of support. I apply'd to the half-
pay agent respecting the widow's pension, and have made
oath before a magistrate, but as I unfortunately lost my
marriage lines in America I am enformed it cannot be pro-
cured. My husband was Insign and Lieutenant in the 40th
Regiment of Foot during the war with that country. At
the end of the year 1780 he came to England to recruit, and
in September, 1782, I was married to Mr Campbell in Edin-
burgh by Mr Macgregor, the Galic minister, who is also
dead, as is Insign William Willox, of the 40th, who was the
witness to our marriage, and the June following we went to
America in the fleet that took out the preliminary's of peace
25 years ago. The present Gallic minister have been wrote
to, and he says that he got no register from any of his pre-
decessors. I have administered at Doctors' Commons for
four months' pay due to my husband at his death, and I
have a power of attorney, which he sent from Gibraltar at
the time he was in the Cambrian Rangers. 1 beg, Sir, you
will excuse my being thus particular, as my motive is to ob-
viate any doubts of my being Mr Campbell's lawful wife."
The two Elizabeth Maria Blanchards being assumed to
be the same person, it is alleged that, even admitting that
the latter marriage took place as stated in the letter, her first
husband was alive at the time, and it was therefore void.
Under these circumstances, it was contended that John
Campbell, as the descendant of the invalid marriage, was
illegitimate, which would leave Lieutenant Charles Camp-
bell the eldest male heir in the succession and the rightful
successor to the title and estates. On the other hand, John
Campbell shows that for upwards of 50 years he and his
father have been in undisputed possession of the estate of
Glenfalloch in the character of the nearest heirs male of
William of Glenfalloch. He and his father have always
been recognized as legitimate by the family, and it is only
now, 80 years after the disputed marriage took place, that
any question as to its validity has been raised, In various
deeds of entail executed by members of the family the
respondent's father has been always named as entitled to
succeed before the appellant's father. The appellant has to
make out that the person who married Christopher Ludlow
was the same who married the respondent's grandfather,
and then that the respondent's father, whose legitihemraLcYudls-
questioned, was born before the death of Christop
his parents
low, otherwise the subsequent cohabitation of
for seven years would render him legitimate according to
the Scotch laws, even if no proof of a subsequent marriage
between them could be established.
The Lord Advocate (with whom was Mr. Rolf), for the
appellant, now contended that the interests of justice re-
quired that the subject in disputee. and regarding which
competition had arisen, should be preserved until the rights
of the contending parties were determined. In the present
case there was a disputed question of succession, and until
this point was determined there was no reason for preferring
one claimant over the other, and therefore it would be ex •
ceedingly unfair to afford one the immense advantage over
the other which the possession of an income of £50,000 per
annum would give him. It had always been the practice of
the Court of Session to appoint factors in such cases, and it
was especially necessary in this case, where neither party
had as yet obtained any possession of the estates. The ap-
pellant had established a prima facie case, which enabled
him to support his claim, and against which the respondent

The Highflyer, 21, screw corvette, 1,161 tons and 250
horse power, has got her topmasts on end, and lower and
topmast rigging in position, in progress of outfit for com-
mission. The Sharpshooter, 6, iron screw sloop, of 503
tons and 202 horse power, is in a similar stage of progress
for commission as the Highfiyer. Both vessels are being
brought forward for commission as rapidly as the existing
dockyard system will permit.
The Torch, 5, 428 tons, in No. 3 dock at Chatham, having
been surveyed by the dockyard officials, and a report of her
condition made to the Controller of the Navy, is ordered to
undergo a thorough repair, at an estimated cost of between
£7,000 and £B,OOO.
The iron troopship Himalaya, in Plymouth Sound, will
probably leave on Thursday next: It is said there that she
will proceed to the Mediterranean, and thence to the West
Indies.

Mr P. Thornton, late Assistant Master Shipwright at
Woolwich, who has been doing duty as acting master ship-
wright at Chatham since the retirement of Mr 0. W. Lang,
received his official appointment as master shipwright of
the dockyard. Mr Lang has been awarded a pension of
£455 per annum.
In accordance with the new regulations relating to super_
annuations in the Royal dockyards, recently laid down by
the Admiralty, upwards of 30 mechanics and artisans have
been superannuated from Chatham dockyard during the last
few days, or pensions varying in amount according to their
length of service.
About 20 hired ropemakers were discharged from Devon-
port dockyard on Saturday.
The following appointments and promotions were made
yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt A. F. R. De Horsey, to
the Wolverine—Commander 11. B. Woollcombe to the As-
surance—G. -Worth, midshipman, to the Wolverine—T. M.
