Mr CARDWELL said he did not think it was necessary
at so late a period of the evening to go into such matters.
(Cheers and laughter.)

The resolution was then agreed to.
COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL,

On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill,
Sir W. JOLLIFFE appealed to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer not to press forward so unpopular a bill until
more time had been allowed for the consideration of its pro-
visions. He moved the adjournment of the debate.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
house had concurred in the principle of the bill ; so he
hoped that the house would not concur in the motion.
Mr NE WDEGATE said that great dissatisfaction existed
in the country as to the nature and objects of the bill with
reference to the exemption of the large towns, and on those
grounds he should support the motion, so as to give an
opportunity for further discussion.

After some explanations from Mr HARVEY LEWIS in
explanation of his reasons for withdrawing his amendment
for exempting large towns,
Mr KNIGHT supported the motion.
The house divided, with the following result—
Ayes
Noes

Majority
Sir W. JOLLIFFE expressed his regret that the right
hon, gentleman should persevere at so late an hour of the
morning (one o'clock).
Mr HENNESSY moved that the house do now adjourn.
Mr NE WDEGATE urged the right hon. gentleman not
to persevere.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER yielded to
the suggestion of Mr Newdegate, and put the third reading
for Thursday next,

DENMARK,

(From Inc limes' Special Correspondent.)

ELSINORE, June 9.
Yesterday the King opened the new railway line
which has just been completed between Copenhagen
and Elsinore. The distance as the crow flies is not
much more than 20 English miles. They have
made the railway more than one-third longer by
going round to Fredericksborg and Fredensborg, so
that the fastest trains will not get over the ground
in less than two hours, which is just the time em-
ployed by the steamers plying from port to port.
Speed of locomotion and the time gained by it are,
however, no objects with these gout Danes, and they
think little of the loss of an hour in a line of first-
rate European importance. This line is to join the
Swedish railways at Helsingborg, across the Sound,
the train being carried over the three miles of water
by one of those ferries on the American plan, con-
structed for that purpose. It will thus become the
direct means of communication between Stockholm
and Copenhagen; further, by following the line
from Copenhagen toKorsor, from Korsor by another
ferry to Nyeborg by rail to Middletart, from Middle-
fart by ferry to Snoghoi, in Jutland, and thence all
across Schleswig and Holstein to Hamburg, this
will travel over Zealand, Funen, and across the
Oresund and the Great and the Little Belts, convey-
ing passengers in the same carriage from the two
Northern capitals to the great German free city and
the rest of the world.
We were all assembled at the terminus (alampen-
borg station) in Copenhagen at half-past 11. The
King was there, the Queen, the Crown Prince, the
Princess Dagmar, and about 200 persons, Cabinet
Ministers, civil, military, and naval officers, cour-
tiers, railway directors, and other citizens; most of
the people in uniform ; almost all with stars and
crosses, cordons and keys, a goodly display of the
world's vanities, all glittering in the sun of one of
what the English people culled " Queen's-days,"
the weather being as propitious to the movements
of Royalty in Denmark as it is proverbially in
England,
The district travelled over by this short line may
be called the garden of Zealand ; it is a blessed land,
equally good to live end to look upon. Four or five
of the greatest Royal parks stretch in sight of the
line to the right and left—Char:etten-lund, Dyr-
have, Hovelte, &c. ; sweeps of the richest meadow-
land and masses of the thickest forest verdure swell
about far and wherever the eye turns_ It is Eng-
lish landscape in its happiest mood, with the addi-
tional peculiarity of broad sheets of water here and
there; the mirror ever ready wherever there is
beauty to rejoice in its reflection.
At most of the stations the train stopped, as I
said; here the local authorities stepped up to the
King's carriage as it slackened speed; there the
King himself and his suite and all of us alighted,
and there was interchange of obeisances, congratu-
tions, and good wishes. The whole population of
the neighbourhood, as a matter of course, crowded
together at these halting-places—a well-dressed,
good-looking, wellebehaving Danish multitude,
The King stepped down not merely in front of
them, but among them—into them,—the King and
the Queen, and the Crown Prince—a rather tall,
handsome young gentleman, in the uniform of a
field-officer of the infantry of the line—and that
lovely Princess Dagmar, so young and modest and
ingenuous, looking evidently happy with the gaiety
and the novelty of the scene, as were also her
parents, for the receptio❑ they met with every-
where was so hearty and genuine as to dispel even
the cloud of care so habitually set on the noble
brow of the Queen. Truly this a good-looking
family, and I am sure the impression they made
yesterday upon thousands of their subjects, to
whom their faces were as yet unfamiliar, was that
no kingly race ever better became their station
than this "newly-arrived" house, who seem to
take so little of the greatness of Royalty upon
themselves. Not the King only, but the Queen,
the Prince, and oven the young Princess mixed
singly with the crowd, and had a word to say to all
who were not too shy to approach them. No won-
der the arrival and departure of the train were the
signals for the loudest shouts of the delighted assem-
blage. At Fredericksborg, especially, the scene was
extremely animated ; dense throngs of ladies, in the
gayest attire, filled up all open spaces and spread
widely over the avenues, their handkerchiefs way-
iog in the air beautifully contrasting with the
variety of their rainbow dresses and pink parasols.
They looked like an animated Dannebrog—all red
and white. Those dear national colours, floating
above the buildings, absorbed all other hues dis-
played by the motley multitude.

An affecting scene awaited us as we burst in sight
of the Sound just upon nearing Elsinore. The train
came to a standstill on an elevated position near
the shore, and drawn up in a line before us wesaw
about a dozen of the men of-war of the Baltic fleet,
,
from every one of which the cannon
the road gave its thunder
g
of welcome to the king. On the land side, along

trumpets, rather more in tune than the bugler of
the land troops, struck up the noble strain "Kong
Christian stod ved hoien Mast"—a strain that went
tarough the nerves of most bystanders, and thrilled
them with some of those emotions which come upon
