THE DANISH FORCES IN SCHLESWIG.

The principal military force of Denmark, num•
boring 16,000 men, is concentrated in the city of

them.

fended by five 84-pounder cannon.
Colossal palisades and extensive barracks are
being erected at the dam of the Dannewerk.,

The class of soldiers at the age of 35 years has

Minister of the Treasury. A part of the library was

FRANCE.
THE ARRESTED CONSPIRATORS.
PARIS, SAM 10.
From documents taken from the four. Italians it
appears that Mazzini was the originator and director
of the plot, and that he had paid the men's ex-
penses. They had formerly belonged to the Papal
Brigade, and were, it is stated, sought out and
engaged by Mazzini at Lugano, with the object of
assassinating the Emperor. Groeco was the chief
of the party. Trabucco, who has been convicted in
London and Paris for robbery and swindling, had,
in a letter addressed to Mazzini, solicited the rank
of Lieutenant under Groeco. Mazzini appears to
have have replied favourably to this request, from
a letter which he addressed to Trabucco, found at
Grotto's lodgings. Groeco had received from Maz •
zini a sum of 4,000 francs.
It is asserted that all the prisoners have made
disclosures.

The Sear says :—" The friends of Mazzini will,
no doubt, be able to refute the outrageous charge
which appears to be circulated against him. It is
utterly incredible." _

THE JAPANESE DlFFlCULTY.—lntelligence has
been received that after long discussions, extending
other three days, the agents of Prince Satsuma have agreed
to make immediate payment of the indemnity, and have
promised in writing not to relax in active search for the
murderers of Mr. Richardson, and to subject them when
discovred, to capital punishment, in presence of one or more
British officers.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.—We are assured
that, notwithstanding that the duke is happily restored to
health, his grace meditates retiring from the Ministry.
MR. ARTHUR SKETCHLEY, whose name has
figured so frequently in benefits during the last few months,
is about to produce an original entertainment, in which our
old friend "Dirs. Brown" will appear before the public under
a new aspect.

-- -
THE NATIONAL SHAKSPEARE COMMITTEE has
been joined during the last few days by the Mayor of
Arundel, Colonel De Eaths, Robert Broadwater, Esq., J.
G. Fitch, Esq. (Government Inspector of Schools), Peter
Le Neve Foster, Esq., Alfred Mellon, Esq., E. A. Sothem,
Esq., and John Tallis, Esq.
ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The Opera
di Camera " Jessy Lea," by Messrs. Oxenford and
Macfarren, will, after a limited number of representations,
give place to Mr. and Mrs. German Reed's new Egyptian
Entertainment, written by Shirley Brooks, and in which
Mr. John Parry is announced to appear. The great suc-
cess, however, of the opera, which is one of Mr. Macfarren'a
freshest and most melodious compositions, has suggested a
return to the Gallery (after a tour which will be immedi•
ately commenced) on these mornings which are not devoted
to the forthcoming novelty. Report speaks highly of Mr.
Shirley Brooks' work. The design of the piece we hear is
novel, and the situations are highly humorous and effective.
The scenery has been painted by Mr. William Telbin.
ALL THE FOOTMEN AT OSBORNE have changed
their sombre suits to scarlet liveries. The pages and dressers
in immediate attendance on the Queen continue to wear
black. _ _

THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.—The hatehment
which had remained over the principal entrance to Holy-
rood Palace since the death of the late Prince Consort,
two years ago, was taken down on Friday week.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.—Commandant Colonel Gas-
coigne, C. 8., has forwarded £2 2s to the Royal
National Lifeboat Institution, as a contribution for the
current year from the Plymouth Division of Royal Marines
(Light Infantry). Thus it occasionally happens that soldiers
and others connected with military officers show great in-
terest in providing for the safety of the sailor. Within the
past two or three weeks Robert Whitworth, Esq., of Man-
chester, a member of the firm of the celebrated inventor of
the Whitworth gun, has collected between £2OO and £3OO
to purchase a new lifeboat to be stationed at Bridlington.
THE GRENADIERS no longer do duty at the
gates of the British Museum. the National Gallery, and
other public buildings of a like description, the guardian-
ship of which is now in the hands of the civil authorities
and police.

—The Conservative Land Society has just acquired two
new estates, the one at the increasing malting town of
Bishop Stortford, 32 miles from London by the Great
Eastern; and the other in Plough-lane, Battersea. cloee to
the branches of the "all round the town railway" lines and
Wandsworth station on the South Western, and within a
short distance of Battersea-park and the new Chelsea
bridge. The society has now 50 estates in 20 counties,
nearly half a million of money having been expended in
land purchases and public works, such as roads, ornamental
gardens, sites for churches, &O.
THE ACCOUCHEMENT OF THE PRINCESS OF
WALES.—A. correspondent signing himself " A
Lover of Historical Dates and Facts," says, it is a curious
fact, and one well worthy of notice, that her Royal High-
ness the Princess of Wales was confined the very day after
the anniversary of the birth of the late lament ,d Princess
Charlotte of Wales, the only child of the last Prince and
Princess of Wales, afterwards George IV. and Queen Care-
line—the said Princess Charlotte of Wales having been
born on Thursday, Jan. 7, 1796, just 63 years ago.
Dr. Stanley was installed as Dean of Westminster,
on Saturday. Canon Wordsworth, who issued a protest
some time ago against some of Dr. Stanley's theological
"views," was not present at the installation, and the new
Dean was allowed to take quiet possession of his office.
