ROTTEN ROW, as the " Sight of Sights" in all
London,—From early morn till dewy eve the Row
has a certain complement of visitors, for during certain
hours of the day it is most thronged, and its frequenters feel
it de rtgueur to be seen there. These hours used to be is
the evening, an anteprandial proraenade from half-past five
until seven, but some of the leaders of fashion felt that these
hours were not sufficiently exclusive—that people from the
City, horrible vulgarians engaged in the debasing pursuits
of commerce, law, literature, or even trade, might come be-
tween the wind and their nobility, enjoying themselves after
the day's labours were at end. This was too terrific, and
must at once be rectified; so the exclusives changed the
fashionable time to the two hours preceding lunch, between 12
and two, when all the low persons engaged in getting their
daily bread would be confined to their counting-houses,
law courts, chambers, desks, or counters, as the case might
be; and this rule still continues. So thoroughly has it
carried its intention that all the visitors at the "swell time"
might now be denizens of the Castle of Indolence. They
aro all drones, amcng whom the presence of a working bee
is never to be found. There you may see the best types of
that great creature tho British " swell "—tall, stalwart,
strong-limbed, fair-haired, blue-eyed, soft-bearded, not par-
ticularly bright, but covering his natural pleasantness with
an absurd mask of insouciance. There aro lovely girls, and
plain girls who almost approach to prettiness on horseback,
so well are their ffpares set off by the trim habit, their faces
by the neat chimney-pot hat and Lecoming
Search the world through, and you will find nothing like
these English Amazons, so healthy, yet so delicately formed,
fearless, yet entirely modest, so bright and fresh and happy
in her one healthful and natural recreation in the entire

round of the season's amusements. Hero they come in
broad cavalcades, some eight or ten strong; escorted by hus-
bands and lovers, brothers and friends, the fresh summer air
blowing out of them all the heat and dust and gaseous at-
mosphere of hot nights' crammed opera or crowded ballroom,
and bringing back for the nonce the roses into their cheeks
and the light into their eyes—such roses and such light as
fade only too quickly under the lite they are leading, and are
only renewed by a long course of continual quiet and fresh
air. Ah, Mosso° I my foreign friend, these young English
ladies constitute our crowning triumph over your Bois!
You acknowledge it, I know. Often have I seen you wag
your little beard and grind your teeth in an ecstacy of de-
lighted animation as the cavalcade whirled by you! the
cavalcade in such close-fitting dark-blue habits as none but
Poole yet have accomplished, and in the coquetry of those
chimney-pots and half-veils, which beat the wide-awakes
(once tried, but proved failures) into tits 1 Sometimes a niong
these cavalcades aro to be seen children on ponies—pretty
little girls with their Shetland's leading-rein in charge of
some steady old family groom ; boys, knickerbockerod and
gaitered, galloping along by the side of papa's far- stepping
hunter—all riding fearlessly, and thoroughly at home in
their saddles, as only, in Europe at least, we English people
are.—London Society.

THE I)ANIsH-GERMAN WAR.—ELSINORE, April
22.—A full-rigged ship, prize to the Dines, passed

The Gesina Dorothea

intended breaking of the blockade, has been released to-
day, and proceeds to Meinel. The Henrietta, from New-
castle for Dantsic, has sailed for Memel, Danteic having
April been declared blockaded, Amsterdam, 23. —I ntelli-
genes from Stettin of the 21st, received there per telegraph

mans, from Liverpool for Stettin, would be released, with

April 25.—1 n a telegram from Copenhagen it is stated
