THE CAPTURE OF ALSEN.

---
PRUSSIAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
BERLIN, Sunday.
The following official account of the capture o
Alsen appears in the Preussischer Staatsan:eiger o
this morning:--

Headquarters, July 1, 1864.
Upon receipt of an order from his Royal High-
ness Prince Frederick Charles to undertake a land-
ing upon the island of Alsen within the next few
days, Gen. Von Hot worth, at present commanding
the combined army corps(the 6th and 13:11 divisions)
occupying Sundewitt, determined, after completing
all his preparations the preceding night, to cross at
dawn on the 29th ult. The passage was to be
effected upon 160 boats and 32 pontoons by the
entire army corps at the Satrupholz, northward of
Sondberg.
The difficulties of this undertaking were very
considerable, and apparent even to an unpractised
eye. History contains few examples of the passage
of a river in front of the enemy. Here it was re-
quisite to cross an arm of the sea whose width,
depth, and rapid current prevented the erection of
a bridge, and whose hostile shores bristled with
numerous well armed batteries and entrenchments.
It was necessary to expose the troops to a foreign
element upon a number of slight boats not only
threatened by wind and weather, but by many
hostile war ships commanding the sea, the iron-clad
vessels in particular, capable of inflicting serious
losses. Even if the landiog of the first batta-
lions succeeded it was necessary to be prepared for
encountering a superior enemy, who long since
expecting this attack, would have had time enough
during the suspension of arms to re-organise his
troops and make every preparation for energetically
repulsing all attempts to land.
His Royal Highness Prince Frederick Charles,
surrounded by his staff, took up a position at half-
past one a.m. at the Alsen Sound, between the ruins
of Fort No. X. and the burnt farm of Steengard,
from which point the entire operations could be
observed.
The means of transport admitted of 3} battalions
being brought over at a time. Each detachment
embarked at four different points, and was landed
at as many different places upon the hostile coast,
opposite to the Fohlenkappel Wood.
Lieutenant General Von Mansten, to whose bold
energy the first execution of the expedition was
entrusted, had the Roder and Goben Brigades under
his command for the day. Tho Roder Brigade
(64th and 24th Regiments) and the Mandenburg
Jager battalion No. 3 had the advanced guard and
were first embarked. Generals Von Menstein and
Roder were 'in the foremost boats the first
detachment.
When the boats were about two hundred yards
distant from the hostile ehore be first shots of the
enemy's outposts ';fazed at them through the twi-
light. The force in the boats returned the are, and
replied, to the first hail of grape from the enemy's
batteries with a thundering hurrah.
Springing out of the boats wad wading through
the shallows, the brave Brandenbargers rapidly
gained the opposite bank, stormed the hostile bat-
teries, and drove the enemy back into the Fohlen-
kappel Wood, notwithstanding his desperate
attempts to hold his rile pits.
In the meautitne the enemy had thrown up fire-
balls,e
which, lighting up the entire shore, clearly
revealed th
7..russian attack.
-tie boats were rapidly rowed back to the
Schleswig shore. The pontooners of the 3d and
7th battalions at the seat of war had been specially
reinforced for the purpose of this undertaking by
three fresh companies from home (belonging to the
23, 4th, and sth battalions), and thm new arrivals
vied in devotion and endurance with their veteran
comrades.

day at the offices, 13, Norfo'k-strcet, Strand.
Mr Gitux;:etsEN, the Secretary, having read the adver-
tisenidnt convening the meeting,
The NontE CHAIRMAN (Viscount Ranelagh) read the
following report of the executive committee, which was
agreed to :

Favoured by the calmness of the sea the crossing
rapidly continued with comparatively trifling loss.
The numerous batt:e ships did not venture within
range of the Prussian batteries. The Rolf Krake,
which lay in the Augustenburg Fohrde with some
gunboats, and from that position had already fired
upon the troops first rowed across, stearLed to the
northern issue of the Alsen Sound, while the second
detachment of the Roder Brigade was crossing and
fired shell, without, so far as is known, occasioning
any important loss. Attacked by our strand bat.
teries and two rifled field batteries which unlim-
bered in her immediate vicinity, the ironclad steamed
along the whole line under continuous fire, end
apparently seriously damaged, down the Alsen
Fohrde; she is said to have returned subsequently
to escort the gunboats lying in the Augustenburg
Fohrde, after which she disappeared aitogther from
the scene.

The annexed returns show the satisfactory state of the
Society's business for the first three quarters of the finan-
cial year :

However unconsciously, this position was well
chosen, for after a while, and just when Mr Disraeli
was criticising some of his despatches, Lord Russell
came in and seated himself exactly in Cie sight-line
of the Speaker. At this time every nook and corner
of the house was full, and conspicuous in a front
seat below the bar was the Poet Laureate, sitting
in close contact with the Duke of Argyll; while

The last share number on the register by seniority is No.

was No. 20,661. The executive committee have the grati-
fication to report to the shareholders that the two allotments
of the Plough-lane, Battersea, estate, on the 6th of April
and the 22d of June, have been remarkably successful. The
board was induced to acquire this valuable building property
owing to the rapid sale and development of the York-road
estate, which was the society's first acquisition of land in
Battersea. The Plough-lane estate is a continuation of the
York-road, towards the Wandsworth-road, and the estate
is close to the Clapham Junction and Wandsworth stations,
and to the steamboat piers. The first portion of the Plough.
lane land, offered on the 6th of April, was entirely sold
prior to the second allotment on the 22d of June, and a very
large sale has already been effected. The contract for the
works on the entire estate is already signed, and no time
will be lost in completing the roads, the committee having
been enabled to secure for the estate increased facilities of
communication with the adjoining localities and railway
stations. Building operations have been commenced, and
the value of the land has been amply proved by the resale
by allottees, at premiums, of their plots. Increased house
accommodation in the vicinity of Battersea Park and the
central stations on the south side of the Thames is so much
in demand, that it may be expected mith ,:onfidence that
the Plough-lane estate will be more speedily covered with
houses than any property previously allotted by the Con-
servative Land Society. The works for the Bishop's Stort-
ford and Colchester estates are in progress. The roads in
the Renwick-road, Worcester, have just been completed.
Another allotment is fixed for Wednesday, July 20, when
the sale of the Avenue estate, Southampton, will be com-
menced; and on this occasion will be also offered to the
holders of rights of choice, and to the general public, a
handsome villa residence, "The Orangery," just erected on
the St. Margaret's estate, Isleworth and Twickenham;
villas and houses on the Round-hill-pack estate, Brighton,
commanding extensive views of the sea and country; two
villa residences at Enfield, close to the station ; four villas
on the Riley-road estate, Oxford ; and several houses in
occupation on the Kentish-town, Hackney, Old Ford,
Roman-road (North Bow), and Putney estates. The allot-
tees of the society will please to bear in mind that the last
day for sending in claims for the freehold franchise in the
counties is Wednesday, July 20 ; and on or before that day
the solicitor should be put in possession of the necessary
information, in order that they may be duly registered. In
the event of any objections being made, the purchasers of
land through the society's instrumentality must take spe-
cial care that the solicitor is supplied in time with the re-
quisite deeds and particulars, specfying at the same time
the most convenient polling districts in the county or coun-
ties in which their property is situated. If there be any
alterations in the qualifications, or any change of address,
the allottees should at once communicate with the society's
legal adviser, who will attend to their interests free of ex-
pense.

the latter impetuous attack of the
Roder Brigade speedily dislodged him from this

tists, notable amongst whom was the Duke of Cam-
bridge. Seldom if ever has a great member of
Parliament had so full and so attentive an audience
as Mr. Disraeli drew on this occasion ; and probably
there has seldom been a special party speech de-
livered under circumstances of less excitement, or
which elicited so few cheers. Every point which
was made was faithfully caught up by the Opposi-
tion; and, as many of that body were in the gallery
opposite to their leaders, their cheers reverberated
with a sound as if they came from the supporters
of the Government, producing an odd effect. But
in truth the incitement to burst out with spontaneity
was sparse, the humorous invitations to laughter
rare—the most pronounced being when Mr Disraeli,
reading what he designated a pathetic appeal from
the Government to France for aid and co-operation,
as it were put his voice into mourning and whined
out his words, concluding by a mock resort to his
handkerchief. No doubt when the moment of
peroration came, the right hon. gentleman exerted
himself vigorously, and went in for loud declama.
tion ; but there was effort in this, as there was all
through the speech, and more than an ordinary tone
of that coldness which seems constitutional in Mr.
Disraeli, and which he does not escape from except
when he flings responsibility to the winds, which
was probably by no means his intention on this
moment. During the first three-quarters of this
two hours and three-quarters' oration, Mr Glad-
stone, following a custom with him when Mr Dis-
raeli is speaking, lay back in his seat, with his eyes
closed, and seemed to court a slumber, sugges-
tive of contemptuous inconsideration of what his
opponent was saying, leaving to Mr. Layard to cull
out quotations produced from the Blue-book which
would have to be answered away. It was thus for
a time supposed that the Under. Secretary for Fo-
reign Affairs was to follow Mr. Disraeli ; but ere
long, despite of his pre-conceived intention, Mr.
Gladstone gave evidence that he was listening at-
tentively, composing assiduously, and even taking
furtive though copious notes. When his turn came
he sprang up with an alacrity which was encourag-
ing to those who preferred to listen to him, to the
restoration which others sought at the critical hour
of half-past seven ; for even the " mighty master"
of debate failed to keep all the assembly, which had
mustered so thickly in every possible spot that could
be occupied. Those who remained were well re-
warded by hearing a speech which, as it was step
by step an answer to that of Mr. Disraeli, was
necessarily an impromptu ; which combined argu-
ment, illustration, humour—more genuine humour
than Mr. Gladstone often developes—sarcasm, high
sentiment, and a boldness in defence which amounted
to indignant and honest defiance; while the closing
sentences rose to a height of eloquence which con-
trasted, with a happy effect, with the sterner and
more practical, but not therefore the less powerful
part of the speech, which was equal, and more, to
the reputation of the speaker. If a speech could
settle the political contest now going on, the debate
might have ended there. As it was, it brought out
cheers from many a lukewarm supporter of the
Government, and concentrated with a certain in-
voluntariness, the sympathies of every member—
save one, perhaps—who were gathered in the rear
and flank of Ministers. The intervention of Mr.

the pursuing troops upon the horse of an orderly.
The beloved leader was received with loud and
hearty cheers by the victorious Westphalians and
Bran denburgers.

The trophies of the day cannot yet be precisely
stated. It is stated, however, that the enemy, who
had at least 12 battalions of infantry, amounting to
10.000 and 12,000 men, upon Alen, has left up-
wards of 2,000 prisoners (among them one com-
mander of a regiment, and 30 to 40 other officers),
and over 50 cannon, several of them folly horsed
geld guns, with numbers of vehicles and war mates
rial, in the hands of the victors. His loss in killed
and wounded also exceeded ours.

THE DANISH ACCOUNT.
COPENHAGEN, July 1.
The official despatches of Gen. Steinman, narrat-
ing the loss of Alsen, have not yet been made pub-
lic. The following are the only official accounts
of the disaster that have transpired.

. -
The Ministry of War published the following
telegram from head quarters yesterday:—.

June 30, Noon,
Despatches of this morning, sent off at 8 45, an-
nounce that our troops had withdrawn fighting
from their position beyond Horup Haff. From
this point the enemy did not pursue them further,
whereupon the division retreated in good order to
Kekenis, so that our troops were beyond the Haff at
noon. At 1.30 this morning the enemy passed
Lysabbel towards Wibey, but at that time the
greater portion of our force had embarked.
The Marine Ministry has published the follow-
ing :

" Rolf Brake sustained a severe engagement,
yet without material damage. The steamer Hertha
and the gunboat Willemaes with two gun sloops,
got out of the Fohrde, in the Alsen Sand, but a gun
sloop and a gun yacht had to be blown up to avoid
their falling into the enemy's hands. The crews
were saved. The Hertha, the Willemaes, and the
two gun sloops landed 1,000 men of the Alsen
garrison at Faaborg, upon the south of Fuhnen.
despatch from Kekenis yesterday states that the
liner Frederick VI. and the depot ship Bellona had
also reached Fuhnen with troops.
The War Ministry publishes the following this
morning t--7
General Steinman arrived at Faaborg (Fuhnen)
at seven o'clock yesterday evening, He quitted
Osterbury upon Alsen at 2.20 p.m., at which time
the embarkation of the last of the troops and war
material had taken place.

Scene in the House of Commons Last Night.

The opening of the list; for the great parliamene
tary passage of arms was characterised by all the
material features which denote intense public inte-
rest, The purlieus of the House of Commons were
crowded, as might have been expected, and within
the walls of the privileged chamber the gathering
of members was early and the attendance large.
Ordinary arrangements were set at nought, and in
the gentlemanly scramble for seats the rank and file
on both sides found themselves in strange and re■
mote places, and were abundantly content they had
got any places at all. On this occasion the gallery
on the left hand of the Speaker was the most full,
the point of attraction this time being the front
Opposition bench. At exactly half-past four the
hero of the next three hours entered the house, and
was greeted with a very hearty cheer by his friends.
The first object on which Mr Disreeli's eye coula
have fallen was Mr Gladstone, looking remarkably
fresh, and decorated with a rose in his button-b&e.
In a short time Lard Palmerston entered, and the
peculiar parliamentary applause was loud and gene-
ral from behind and below the Ministerial benches.
The slight obstruction to the real business of the
evening having been disposed of, Mr Disraeli pre.
rented himself, and commenced in a remarkably
didactic tone; and for a period counting by more

Newdegate and Mr. Kinglake with their amend-
ments, and with cognate liveliness of speech, gave
room for repose to the nerves of the House, which
were not too severely shattered by the ezercitation
of General Peel, redeeming his promise that the
Government should hear from him some day on their
Danish policy. It is not to be denied that the gal-
lant general made some points which compensated
for the jorkness, not to say ruggedness of his style.
As to the Lord Advocate, he is never lively, though
gen:Tally argumentative; but on this occasion had
evidently consented to perform the useful, but not
very dignified, part of a stop-gap. With a four-
nights' debate before them, Ministers must be careful
of their special reserves. Lord Stanley, judging
from the cheers which ever and anon greeted him,
must have been epigrammatic; but his vocal defects
make it necessary for those at any distance from
him to take his points upon credit. In a struggle
between Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Osborne, and Mr. Cobden
for the adjournment of the debate, the latter was
successful, and an advantageous reopening of the
discussion will be thereby attained.—Telegraph.
