ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE PRUSSIANS
AND THE DANES.

SONDERBURG, MARCH 17, 10 P.M,
N severe engagement took place yesterday along
the whole line of the Duppel forts.
Early in the morning the Danes reconnoitred the
Prussian right wing.
Liter in the day large masses of Prussians
attacked the Danish centre and right wing, and at
the same time a violent fire was opened upon the
left wing from the Broager batteries. One en-
trenchment alone received 250 projectiles. The
Danish works took an active part in the engage.
ment, which lasted until the evening.
The hardest fighting occurred near Avembjerg
and the village of Duppel ; the latter being held
by the Prussians. Several villages were burnt.
The Broager batteries did only slight damage to
the Danish works, all of which are still fit for

service.
The Danish loss was not inconsiderable, while
that of the Prussians was probably greater, as
many shells burst in the midst of their columns.
Four regiments were engaged in the action.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF DIIPPEL,
COPENHAGEN, MARCH 17, 9 r.m.

A report of the Commander-in• Chief to the
Minister of War, published here to-day, states that
the batteries of the enemy stationed at Broager
opened fire yesterday at 10 a.m. on the Duppel en-
trenchments. The bombardment lasted till 3 p.m.
The enemy fired altogether 500 shots. We replied
occasionally in all 35 times. Our firing seemed to
be successful, as two of the enemy's batteries were
silenced for some time. Our materiel has not been
injured, but our losses in men were not inconsider-
able, owing to an unfortunate explosion. We have
2 officers killed and 49 wounded, 16 privates killed
and 119 wounded. A large force of the enemy's
infantry, with 2 guns, was hurled against our right
wing. They attacked Rsgebol, but speedily with-
drew.

The same report says :—" On Monday night 600
Prussians, covered by two batteries planted on the
Holstein coast, passed over in fishing boats to the
island of Femeren, where they captured the gar-
rison, consisting of 90 men. An iron transport ship
was abandoned, .bnt was retaken from the enemy,
by our gunboats on Tuesday. The commandant at
Fredericia reports that the enemy appraached the
fortress yesterday at various points, probably to
reconnoitre our positions. Our foremost works
were fired upon by the enemy's artillery.

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE,
(This Day.)

The never-ceasing wheel of time has brought round
another University Boat Race, and we believe there never
has been one that has created more excitement than the
present, nor in which there has been either a greater
amount of money speculated, or the odds have
more fluctuated. The love of the English for aquatic
sports in this our seagirt isle is a striking trait in their
character, and the penchant has been fostered by the esta-
blishment and wide increase of rowing clubs amongst the
people of every position and denomination.

r 'When the University race first commenced, rowing at
the Universities was in its infancy compared with its present
maturity; it was not then as it is now. It was considered
enough to bring them into competition now and then, but
not yearly. There was a gap of seven years between the
first and second matches, and three more before they again
entered the lists, and a corresponding time afterwards, but
for the last 10 years it has been annual. Its attractions
were at first insignificant, but the most cursory reference
to the contests of later years must show the interest and
importance that have gradually grown with its growth and
strengthened with its strength. To not only the old
University men ani the public at large is this peculiarly a
matter of excitement and interest, but it is anticipated with
mingled feelings of anxiety and pleasure by the crews
themselves—notwithstanding the severe training and
enormous self-denial to which they are subjected, and
talked of with pride and admiration in after life, to the
latest period, by its heroes.
In the revolutions of time there have been exactly 20
contests between the sister universities, In the first 9 of
these, extending over a period of 20 years from 1829. to
1849, Cambridge won 7, but latterly fortune has smiled upon
their opponents, and in the last 11 years, including the three
last, Oxford has achieved 8 victories to 3 of Cambridge ; so
it will be seen that the present race was to determine out of
the whole which was the winner, and the anxiety which
has been manifested during the past week, and the larg e
attendance at Putney, conclusively attest the interes t
which was taken in the result.

The following were the gentlemen composing the
crews :

THE SUEZ CANAL.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether the Sultan had authorised the Pacha of
Eg3 pt to submit the questions at issue relative to the Suez
Canal to the arbitration of the Emperor of the French ; and
whether, among such questions considered to be at issue,
the requirement of the supply of forced labour for the exe-
cution of the works of the canal was presumed to be in-
cluded ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that all he knew on the
subject was derived from the lloniteur, which announced
that the Emperor, with the consent of the Facha of Egypt,
had agreed to arbitrate on the matter.

SCUTCH MILLS.

Mr. BENTINCK asked the Secretary for the Home
Department, whether Scutch mills came within the defini-
tion of a " factory ;" whether the law officers of the
Crown have given any opinion on that point; and, if so,
whether that opinion supports the conclusion at which the
factory inspectors have arrived on that point ?
_ .

Sir G. GREY said that the opinion of the law officers
was that these mills did not come within the definition of a
factory.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Sir E. GROGAN asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies whether the Hadson's Bay Company had
any ownership in the soil or any right, except that of taking
wild animals, to the district of country lying between Lake
Superior and British Columbia, comprising the only prairie
and some of the most fertile land in British America ; and,
if the company had no right, whether the said district
should not be opened fors ttlement under the Crown, and
thus invite the emigrants who now leave this country for
the United States to settle in our own colony ?
Mr. C. FORTE SCUE said that the Hudson Company
claimed territorial right over the district alluded to, which
had been twice assented to by the law officers under two
Governments. As these claims were considered valid 200
years, under these circumstances it was not right to
raise an issue on them. He denied that the tide of
emigration was checked by the Hudson Company, but by
other obstacles which he trm ted would eventually be re-
moved.

AMERICA.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE referred to the case
of the men found on board the Kersage, and recalled to
their lordships' recollection the circumstances under which
six men had enlisted on board of her to serve in the
United States navy, and their recent trial for
having committed the offence. He contrasted the
decision come to by the learned judge who disposed of the
case, when the prisoners had pleaded guilty, with the course
parsued by a judge in United States courts in disposing of
an analogous case when he sentenced the man to two years'
imprisonment and a fine of 100 dole. He concluded by asking
for copies of the information laid against the men, and
whether the noble earl had any further explanation on the
subject.
Earl RUSSELL said he had nothing further to state
en the subject. The papers relative to the matter had been
submitted to Parliament ; the men had been prosecuted and
Government had done everything they could to prevent a
recurrence of the matter. Her Majesty's proclamation on
the subject of enlisting in a foreign service had been made
as public as possible.
Lord CHELMSFORD suggested that copies of the de-
positions should be produced as well as the informations.
This was agreed to, and
Their Lordships adjourned until Tuesday, the sth of
April,

HOUSE OP COMMONS—Last Evening.
