The concession of the Government for the construc-
tion of the Sceleswig Railroad by Mr. Peto has been
officially published. It gives the contractor an ex-
clusive right in the line for the conveyance of goods
and passengers for 100 ;ears from the date of the open-
ing of the road. During that period no other con-
cession will be granted for a line in the same direction,
uncler the condition that the road shall be completed
within three years. It will run from Flensberg, over
HUM= to Tonning.n, and from Husum to Rendsburg;
the tract from Flensburg to Tonningen to be com-
pleted first. Fadrelandet condemns severely the ad-
dress o. the Minister at War at the late banquet in
reference to the Danish army, as to the Holstein
troops it must have appeared an insult.

Sir HENRY BULWER, the British Ambassador at
Florence, is charged with a commission to Rome of
more importance tbgn the release of EDWARD MURRAY
from the prison of Ancona. Notwithstanding the
malaria he has gone to Rome to negotiate with the
Pontifical Court. A concordat for Ireland is stated
to be one of his otjects, and some means of over-
coming the religious difficulties at Present disturbing
that country. Great hopes are entertained of the
success of Sir HENRY, on account
.of his diplomatic
skill.
A letter from Florence of the 19th, in the Risorgi.
mento of Turin, states that the Royal Court is still
occupied with reading the documents relating to
GUERRAZZI's trial, so that the sittings are now with-
out interest. A rumour is current that GUERNAZZI
has addressed a letter to the GRAND DUKE, praying
his Highness to go spontaneously into court, and give
his testimony in favour of his ex-Minister.
In a letter dated the 18th, the Paris correspondent
of the Risorgimento of Turin states that Marshal
SOULT once complained to him that he had unac-
countably lost a voluminous correspondence he had
carried on with the late Duke of WELLINGTON, con-
taining very interesting historical facts. The corre-
spondent expresses a hope that the Marshal's heirs
may have found the letters alluded to, which would
throw much light upon the history of the Empire.

THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—Some parties \
have circulated a report that the Duke of Wellington has
left a sovereign to every soldier in the British army. A truer ,
statement, in cne sense, has never b,en made, as the late
gallant field-marshal has not only left a sovereign to every
soldier, but also to every sailor in the services, and to every
subject of Queen Victoria, as if it had not been for the suc-
cess of the Duke of Wellington and the army he commanded
at the battle of Waterloo, it is doubtful if this country could,
at the present day, boast of having a Sovereign of far greater
value than any golden sovereign ever coined. The admi-
rable tactics of his Grace also put down the movement of the
Chartists on the 10th of April, at a period when several of
the crowned heads of Europe were placed in great jeopardy
of having their sovereignty taken from them.
