on to the camp of General Wysocki, is devoid of
any foundation.

M. Chojecki is not secretary to the prince, but

THE DANISH ROYAL THEATRE.

(From the Denmark.)

Of the three Scandinavian countries, Denmark hos the
most characteristic dramatic literature. Baron Ludvig
dolberg, 'who died in 1754, may be considered the real
founder of the Danish stage. He has given us a cyclus
of comedies, in which he has depicted the customs and
social stat,) of his time with so masterly a hand,
that as Oehlenschlaeger, our first tragic poet, says, we may
through his plays alone form a good idea of our social state
in his day.
Of actresses we must mention Mrs. Heiberg, our prima
donna, the above-named poet J. L. Heiberg's widow, who,
although now no longer young, has never been equalled,
either in merry or touching parts. Mrs, Phister, wife of
the actor of that name, is famed for sustaining her part to
perfection in Holberg's pieces, as chambermaid. We have
also Mrs. Sodring, Mrs. Hoist, and others. It connot be
said that we possess a national opera ; certainly we have
some compositions in which the national songs may
be heard, such as " Little Kirsten," by Hart-
man, and several compositions by Veyse and Gade ; but we
arc obliged to have recourse to much foreign music. Our
t tate for genuine music is well cultivated. Mozart's is
highly appreciated, and well performed. Our most ce/e
brated opera singer is P. Schram, who enjoys great re-
putation both as actor and singer; Leporelia, in " Don
Juan," may be considered his chief part. liansen
has a soft and melodious voice, with a peculiar
talent for ballads. Ferslev is a good bass, Steen-
berg, a middling tenor. We must mention the excellent
debutant Nyrop, who appeared last year and was very suc-
cessful ; it is his fine figure and great talent as an actor
which has given him his complete triumph, for his voice—
tenor—is nothing unusual. 01 late Docker has come for-
ward, and is a promising debutant. Mrs. Gerlach is our
prima donna, and we must mention Mrs. Liebe and Mrs.
Sahlgreen.

Our theatre possesses also a ballot, which has been created
by Bournonville, who at present is einployed in Sweden.
We have a good light to be proud of our bullet, which is
national, and in an artistic paint of view pre-eminent, for
no other country can produce its equal. But if this is to
continue, it will he necessary that Bournonville, its natural
supporter, should return, for it has been on the decline since
Carey took the management.

MR. GLAISHER'S SCIENTIFIC BALLOON ASCENTS
—The ascent which was contemplated yesterday
from the grounds of the Crystal Palace was postponed,
owing to the violence of the wind. Dr. Lee, the president
of the Astronomical Society, and chairman of the Meteorolo-
gical Committee, with Dir. Glaisher, Mr. Colwell, Mr.
Negretti, and other men of science concerned were on the
.round early. Towards noon the wind rose, and as it
reached a speed of 70 miles an hour, blowing from due west,
and would have taken the balloon in less than an hour over
the Nore, the ascent was put off. The balloon, however,
remains on the spot, and, if practicable, the ascent will
take place this day, as all the parties aro within reach of the
telegraph.
Owing to the continued severe illness of Mr.
Wilkie Collins, he is unable to take the chair, as announced,
at the annual dinner of the Theatrical Fund, and his place
will be supplied by Mr. Charles Dickens.
