The Fairy Entertainment, entitled

PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F.•Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly reczietered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of •' The Ghost in

the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when "Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'ocil of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

PROSPECTUS.
While Exchange Banks and Credit insiitu'ions have been
established to connect this country financially with almost
every foreign market, and to give fact Pies for conveying to
our shores every descrii tion of merchandi it is remarkable
that as soon as the operation of importing is performed the
monetary facilities are withdrawn. The bills drawn upon
our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer-
chant's capital unaided, or by sales. Thiu, when tempo-
rari'y there is an excess of any commodity imported, its
price is undu y depressed, and s rion losses are incurre
Ordinary bankers and discount houses dislike making ad-
vances upon merchandise, having no organisation for exa-
mining the goods and correct y estimating their value.
What they want are good bills, drawn on those who, know-
ing the value, have accepted for a fair advance. Division of
labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and
profitable.

To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow-
ledge, the Warrant Banking Company is formed. The bu,i-
ness of the Company will mainly consist in making a dv 'aces
upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by
dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly
inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a
proper margin to allow for depreciation.
These advances will be made in a ceptances by the Cora-
p'ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re-
eresent mer-handise readily convert ble, and ba at the same
time secured by the whole ea- ita' cf a powerful Company, the
exact position of which will be patent to al', there can be no
doubt that the whole Dis ount Market will be available when
it is desired by the holder to turn the bill into cash.
It will' be readily apparent that the existence of such an
institution, while it will be of great service to merchant., ani
increase the stability of the entre class, will be an equal con-
venience to bankers and die COUllt firms, f urn ishing them with
a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due
payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors
undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company
will be invested, and, sofar as practicable; remain invested in
British and East Indian Government securities, and paid
up at call, aucl it is propoSed that the capital thus paid
up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of
at least £200,10.
The field which exists for such an undertaking will ly3 at
once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of
foreign impor s for the past year. which amounted (not to
speak of home produce) to over £200,(00,000. If we estimate
the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as
equal to three months' consumption, it would represent an
amount of £10,000,000.
Advances may also be made when deemed advisable unon
stoess and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con-
vertible.
A. re .aonable proportion will always be maintained be-
tween the extent of business undertaken ar.d the cal' ed-up
capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased
to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated,
simply as a guarantee fund.
Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool,
Manchester, Glasgow, Sze. dm
Tee Directors will not rec,ive any roman erafinn until the
shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend
on their paid-up capital. Atter payment of t per cent. the
Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits.
No promotion money will be paid for originating this un-
dertaking. The preliminary exptnses will be confined to the
necessary disbursements
Prospectuses end forms of Application for shares may be
obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, and at the tem-
porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares
will be considered un'ess a deposit of .£1 per share has been
previon ly p id to the bankers of the Company.
In the event of no a lotment being made the deposit will be
returned without deduction, and should the number allotted
be 1 'es than the number applied for, tbe payment in excess
will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.

AYE'S WORSDELL'S PlLLS.—These Pills
are a purely vegetable preparation, and may be taken
at any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their fine tonic,

accumulations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels,
strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood. Unlike many
remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or esta-
blish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the BEST FAMILY

THE WAR IN DE NiaARK,

(From the limes Special Correspondent With the Danish
Army.)

DANISH HEADQUARTERS, SONDERBORG,
March 9.
We begin at last to see some symptoms of acti-
vity on the part of the Prussians, I was out to-
day on horseback, and stood at the outposts on the
summit of the Avnbjerg, a hill rising on the left
of Vie road, at about en English mile from the
bastions at Dybbol. Up to the present moment
the Danes are strongly posted on the Avnbjerg,
and will certainly not give it up without con-
test. Standing close to the Danish pickets on the
brow of this hill, I could distinctly see, across the
waters of the Vemmingbund, all along the crest of
the Broager peninsula, swarms of Prussians, .busy
throwing up the earth, apparently rearing trenches
previous to placing their batteries in position. Great
efforts are made by them at the same time to raise
earthworks at Ragebol, on the right of the Danish
position. They evidently aim at an attack on the
two wings of the Danish line, well knowing that
they could have no chance of success against the
formidable centre.
While, however, the Prussians are, after more
than a month, only making ready for action, the
Austrians in Jutland are doing their own share of
the work with that same briskness and willingness
vrhich:they displayed in their operations at the Dan-
newerk. We have somewhat more minute parti-
lars of the skirmishes before Fredericia, to which I
alluded at the close of my last letter, and what we
hear to-day is not calculated altogether to allay the
fears which were yesterday entertained as to the
safety of that Jutland stronghold.
Frcdericia lies at the mouth of that Sound which,
winding inland between the coast of Jutland and
that of the island of Funen, widens as it advances
southward, and forms what is called the " Little
Belt," a branch of the sea parting the island of
Funen from the mainland of Schleswig and the Isle
of Alsen, After entering inland at Fredericia,
and winding from Erritso on the mainland on the
right to Middlefart on the Funen side on the lefl

the Sound continues its meandering course between
the lands till it reaches the little islet of Fanoe,
where it throws a branch westward, forming an
inlet which bears the name of Kolding-fiord, and
which from its mouth near Fanoe up to the town
itself of Kolding constitutes the boundary line
between Jutland and Schleswig. The town of
Fredericia, which was built for the express pur-
pose of guarding the entrance of the Little Belt,
lies on the southern coast of a little peninsula,
bathed, on this side, by the water of the Sound, on
the east by the broad sea, and on the north by the
Voile-fiord, and by a smaller inlet which is only a
branch of it, and bears the name of Rands-fiord,
or Little Strand. The town or fortress itself is
built upon a point, in a fanlike or triangular shape,
having a " kastel" or citadel at its apex on the sea,
and for a base inland a long circular continuous
line of ten bastions, built close upon one another.
The two sides of the triangle on the sea are also
partly walled, and strengthened by stout bastions_
Immediately beyond the bastions, on the western
side, the town has low grounds which can be inun.
dated for a considerable distance, and formed in
1849 a ditch which bore the name of 0 versvo•
melso. This ditch runs inland for above an English
mile, considerably beyond the extent of the town,
with which it lies as it were at a tangent, protecting
it on the side of Erritso and Stourstrup.
Besides the batteries at the Kastel at Fredericia,
so situated as to give the place a full com-
mand of the Sound, the entrance to this narrow
strait is also protected on the !Fanen side by two
batteries at Strib, a point lying almost immediately
to the south of the Kastel, right opposite to it, at

less than an English mile's distance; and further
on, where the Sound becomes still narrower, and
where it is crossed by a ferry between M iddlefart an d
Snoghoi, by a long row of batteries on the Middle-
fart or Funen side, so constructed as not only to
guard the Strait, but also to sweep the lands across
the ferry at Snoghoi.
The Austrians had hitherto taken up their posi-

tions at a considerable distance from Fredericia, and
the Danes, with that carelessness which seems to be
peculiar to them, and which has caused them some
rather important losses in prisoners at Dybbol, had
spread their outposts several miles outside the town
at Gadso,on the south, close to the Kolding-fiord, and
towards the Viele-fiord on the north, occupying thus
the neck of the whole peninsula. The Austrians
appeared in very large forces yesterday, diverting
their attacks on Veile on the north, and on the west,
through Bredstrup, and through a minor road,
which from Havreballegaard converges in the same
direction towards the villages of Stoustrup and
Erritso. The Panes perceived from the outset that
'they had to deal with vastly superior forces, and
they fell back in the best order, skirmishing even
while they yielded ground. The Austrians pushed

forward as far as Stoustrup and Erritso, and there
established themselves at the distance of less than

two Englieh miles from Fredericia. The desultory

fire at the outposts cost the Danes about 150 between

dead.and wounded ; among the latter Gen.Wilster,

the Commander-in-Chief at Fredericia, Capt. Hoff-
man, the Chief of the Staff, and two officers of the

Staff. A shell fell close to where the General stood,

killed his horse, and stretched him on the ground
with two wounds, and prostrated also Capt. Hoff•
man with a wound in the leg, which will Lteces-

sitate amputation, and may, it is feared, cost the
brave officer his life. While the main force of
the third Danish division were thus effecting

their retreat, Capt. Tone, who was with his com:

pany posted at Gudso, receiving no timely intima-
tion of the movements of the enemy, tarried on the

spot till, by the occupation of Stoutrup and Erritso,

the Austrians had cut off his retreat. Aware at last

of his critical position, he advanced on the high
road in the direction of Snoghoi, whence he might
hope to cross over to Middlefart, but was soon hem.

med in and overpowered by the enemy, to whom,
after a gallant resistance, he had to surrender with
the whole of his company, about 200 men.

It is thus that the Danes, without as yet having
run the chances of a decisive encounter, have in

this unfortunate war suffered losses which their in-

feriority of numbers renders almost irreparable. It
is calculated that no less than 500 men were put

hors de combat at Missundo, Bustrup, and the other
combats at the Dannewerk ; about 1,000 were
among the killed, wounded, or missing in the re-

treat, and no less than 500 or 600 more have

either fallen or have been taken prisoners in the
defence of Dybbol and Fred ericia. On the whole, the
Danish army is certainly less strong by 2,000 com-
batants than it was at the opening of the war, when
it mustered no more than 30,000. No doubt, the
losses of the Austrians and Prussians have been

throughout fully as severe, but they can better afford
it. Fresh masses of troops, with immense materiel,
are coming up daily. The Germans, who have such
good grounds to feel sure of victory, spare no pains
to make that assurance doubly sure, and hope by
redoubling their efforts to come twice as soon to the

end of their enterprise.
According to the latest intelligence from Jutland,
it would seem that the Austrians, satisfied with their
success, have again fallen back from the position
they had taken up at Stouetrup and Erritao. Even
the affair at Fredericia may be looked upon as a
mere reconnaissance in force.

l'ilAncli 10.
The official papers at Cvenhagen contain a de-
tailed account of the losses suffered by the various
corps of the army from the Ist to the 22d of Feb-
ruary. From this it will be seen that the statement
contained in my yesterday's letter was rather below
than above the mark. The losses above-mentioned
amonnt, Recording to the official authorities, to 43
officers and two army surgeons, dead or wounded ;
and 1,930 rank and file dead, wounded or missing.
Of =roe, these numbers only extend to the 224

of last month, the deg somewhat

but the vile trick the Prussians have of firing as
men out on picket duty seldom fails to add at least
four or five daily to the list of casualties. Several
outpost encounters in Jutland, and the late recon-
naissance by the Austrians, must have caused to the
Danes a k'es of at least 400 men, half of them

prisoners.
From the Ist of February to the 20th the British
and foreign press were represented at the Danish
headquartere by your own correspondent alone. I
and two of the gentlemen belonging to the Copen-
hagen journals made up the whole cf :he reporters'
stuff
,at Schleswig, and all along the disastrous
march from that place to this. Since the last-named
date correspondents have come in in great force, not

who come here wild with the expectation to see a
fight, but who soon find it is themselves who have
to fight with bad accommodation, worse fare, and
the unconquerable weariness and unprofitahless of
existence. Not a few are those who turn tail against
such formidable antagonists, and quit Sonderborg
only two or three days after their arrival. A man
must have no common luck if he finds as much as a
bed or a sofa at any of the hotels or private houses
about town. And even when a room is to be had
twenty to one the hapless Wight is driven out of it
by noise and discomfort, and, above all things, by
the all-pervading, all-smothering, abominable dirt.
Some of these strangers, of a more adventurous, or,
as they believed, more practical turn of mind,
thought that they had hit on a capital expedient by
repairing to wooden walls—i.e., taking up their
quarters in some of the steamers, several of which
are always moored alongside the wharves, as con-
venient for all purposes of business in Sonderborg
as any of the best houses in the centre of the town ;
but since it happened to one of them, on his return
from a jolly party late at night, to,find that his
abode had put up steam and was off hours before,
taking away with her his dear bags and portman-
teaus, and leaving him to spend the night in the
muddy streets as he best could, a steamer has been
voted a very poor makeshift, and only to be valued
on the principle which determined Dr. Johnson's
preference for "the best thing in Scotland"—i.e., as
a means of getting out of this.

, Were there no better chance of active warfare
than wo have had for the last month, or than we
have at present, this distressingly dull place would
wear out the most heroic powers of endurance, and
I greatly doubt whether devotion to their duty on
the part of the non-Danish press, or even the sense
of patriotism on the part of the Danish, would give
any of us patience to abide here another week. It
is perfectly killing work, and the reading public we
humbly suppose would be no gainers by our utter
extinction,

HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The number of deaths in• London in the week

that ended on Saturday was 1,664, which is less by
100 than that of the previous week. The deaths
under 20 years of age declined from 778 to 759 ;
those at 20 and under 60 years decreased from 561

to 474 ; while the deaths at a more advanced age
were of nearly the same amount in the two weeks.
The average number of deaths for the tenth week
of the years 1854.63 is, with a correction for in•
crease of population, 1,449. The present return
exhibits an excess of 215 over the number estimated
for a week in the early part of March.

The deaths from scarlatina were fewer then they
had been in many previeus weeks—they declined to
44; those from typhus to 53. Of 39 fatal cases of
measles 5 occurred in the east sub-district of Isling-
ton, 4 in Saffron-hill, 8 in Green sub-district of
Bethnal-green.

Bronchitis numbered 280 deaths in the week, the
corrected average being 169 ; phtbisis, or consump-
tion, 192 deaths against 170. It will be observed

that both these diseases, but particularly bronchitis,
aro fatal et the present time. Pneumonia, which
caused 100 deaths, is not more fatal than usual.
An infant, aged 2 weeks, died from bring bandaged
too tightly.

Four persons are returned as killed by street
vehicles; two persons were run over and killed by
locomotive engines—namely, one at Putney on the
sth inst., and one on the Crystal Palace line on the
7th inst.

A woman, aged 60 years, died from want of
nourishment and clothing on the 21st of February
at 1, King's-head-court, Shoreditch ; another, aged
46, on the day following, from the same cause, at ,
6, Royston-street, Bethnal-green. On the 4th of
March a child, aged 13 months, died in the House
of Correction, Wandsworth, from "erysipelas
arising from the want of proper nutrition."
Ten nonagenarians died in the week; also a lady,
who is registered as having died on the 7th of
March, at the extraordinary age of 106 years, at
her house in Lee-road.

Last week the births of 1,013 boys and 949 girls
—in all 1,962 children—were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854-
63 the average number (corrected) is 2,076.
The Registrar-Genneral has recently brought
under the notice of the authorities of the great cities
of Europe a plan for securing returns of diseases
and of the weather simultaneous with those of Lon-
don. Vienna, which is the seat of one of the greatest
medical schools of Europe, has already responded to
his application, and he expects to receive from that
city a regular series of returns, which cannot
fail to afford interesting comparisons with those of
London. Vienna is about to adopt many of the
sanitary improvements which have proved efficacious
in England; and Dr. Glatter, a most zealous officer
of the City Council, will be able to measure their
effects on the reigning disease and the rate of mor-
tality.

The deaths in Vienna during the week that ended
on Saturday, February 27, were 387—namely, 253
at home, and 134 in the hospitals ; 10 of typhus, 7
of smallpox, 3 of scarlatina, 7 of measles, none of
whooping-cough, 6 of croup, 1 of diphtheria, 93 of
consumption, 34 of tubercular meningitis (called
hydrocephalus often in the London returns), 60 of
pulmonary inflammation, 23 of diarrhcea, 5 of dy..
ssntery, 1 of accident; 5 woman died of childbirth
to 6 in London. The mean temperature was 39 deg.,
in Vienna, and 33 deg. in London.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenw:ch, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.252 in.
The mean daily height was below 29in. on the first
four
days.
The reading fell to 28.81. on Monday,
and roseo 30.06 in. on Saturday. The mean tem-
perature of the air in the week was 41.5 deg., which
a
is P 3 deg. above the average of the same week in
43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean
daily temperature was 6 deg. above the average on
Monday, and as much below it on Wednesday. The
highest day temperature was 53.6 deg. on Sunday.
The lowest night temperature occurred on Thursday,
and was 27'9 deg. The range of temperature in the
week was therefore 25.7 deg. The mean daily range
was 12'4 deg. The difference between the mean
dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.7
deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was
84, complete saturation being represented by 100.
The wind, which had been previously in thesouth-
west and north-east, blew on the last three days
from a south-westerly point. Rain fell to the amount
of 1.51 in., of which as much as 0 62in.. including
melted snow, fell on Wednesday. The mean of the
Ighighest temperatures of the water of the Thames
was 43.7 deg.; that of the lowest was 4.6 de.
