CALLCOTT'S TIIREE ITCHES.—Sir Augustus
Callcott's celebrated picture of the Witches in Macbeth is
to be sold at Messrs. Christie and Manson's on the 19th
instant.

THE DANISH REGULAR ARMY, including all arms
and the garrisons at home and abroad, consists of 72,000
men, 15,000 horses, and about 120 guns. Allowing for
contingencies, the Danes might bring into the field an
army of 70,000 soldiers, backed by a reserve of 50,000 mi-
litia, &c.

MARSHAL 10I'MAHON AND THE CAMP OF CHALON&
—The Moniteur of yesterday gives prominence to
the following announcement :—" A foreign journal cites
among the number of symptoms which have alarmed some
minds the appointment of Marshal M'Mahon to com-
mand the camp of Chalons again in 1864. Assuredly all
the marshals are equally entitled to exorcise this important
command ; but they aro appointed to it by the choice of the
Emperor, and not by strict order of rotation. The nomina-
tion of Marehal M'Mahon is in no way irregular; therefore
as to the composition of the divisional staff placed upon his
orders it will be made according to the ordinary basis and
regulations."

A 111IL1TACY MAN AMID FINE SCENERY.—At
Pirna, and hither and thither in Saxon Switzerland, Fried-
rich certainly was. " Who ever saw such positions, your
Majesty ?" For Friedrich is always looking out, were it
even from the window of his carriage, and putting military
problems to himself in all manner of scenery, " What
would a man do, in that kind of ground, if attacking, if
attacked ? with that hill, that brook, that bit of bog r and
advises every officer to be continually doing the like. That
is the value of picturesque or other scenery to Friedrich,
and their effect on good Prussian officers and him.—
Carlyle's .11'etv Volume (11;) of his Life of Frederick the
Great, just, published.
