The War in Denmark.

(From the Times Special Correspondent lately at the Danish
Bead-quarters.)
ELSINORE, May 5.

Like Dresden or Munich, Copenhagen takes rank
ai an artistic capital. Oae man, great end good,
has left upon it the mark of his genius; a man who
could have created Scandinavian sculpture, but has
only petrified that of Greece and Italy. It has
museums, highly improving as schools, but dreary
as lounging places. It has theatres, too, with heavy
dramas and propriety billets. Unable to endure it
at the end of a week, I took the steamer on Tuesday
afternoon for Helsingore (Elsinore). In spite of the
cruel, nipping, north-east wind, I enjoyed two hours
on the Sound. The spot has great interest even
after you have seen the Dardanel,es and the Boa-
phorus, Messina and Gibraltar. I felt more at home
in dead Elsinore than in living Copenhagen. Were
I the King of Denmark,l would have no other home
than Hamlet's old castle, of Kronberg Slot. I
visited it yesterday morning at the earliest hour,
when I had the place all to myself. The site is
unequalled in the North; the building itself is
attractive. It belongs to the Gothic style of the
latter part of the 16th century, and has much in
common with the Exuharge and those two or three
palaces in Copenhagen which were probably an eye-
sore to Thorwalsden, but which still delight men
of more eclectic taste. Were it a ruin, and had
it a green, bold bill for a -background, it might
vie in picturesqueness with the turrets and halls of
disnaantled Heidelberg. As it is, it stands out white
and glittering on its bold headland (its "ore," or
ear), a conspicuous object, visible for miles by land
and sea, the great landmark of the Sound; a solid
and not inelegant edifice of white stone, with leaden j
spires and pinnac!ea, within a labyrinth of bastions
and batteries, of moats and casemates, which have
ceased to be formidable in war, and might be turned
into flower beds and groves, and become a perfect
paradise in times of peace. The castle is out of
town, adjoining the town, lording it over land and
sea, the sovereign of the strait, the very nest for a
sea-king.
Elsinore is dying, dead : the little town could
not survive the abolition of the Sound dues, on
which it throve for so long a time. It has two or
three heavy old churches, towering and lumbering,
giving a certain air of grandeur and stateliness to
the place ; it boasts a few consular establishments,
with lofty flagstaffs; its fish market is still renowned,
and the hotel is respectable. In " Hamlet," after all
is said, lies the spell that will for ever attach itself
to dear, declining Elsinore,' It was by the steamer
Hamlet that I went up the Sound the other day;
it was by the Horatio that I came down this morn-
ing; and you may go tomorrow by the 'aphelia.
They took me to a spot in the woods, an elevated
spot, where, embosomed in a grove of beech trees
200 years old, there stands a mound of earth, sur-
mounted by a dwarfish pillar, which, I was told,
marks the spot of Hamlet's grave. There may be
doubts as the last abode of the ",Prince of Den-
mark ;" there can be none as to his home in the
Kronberg Castle. Had I been there by moonlight,
instead of in the glare of a clear fros,;: morning, I
should have been as sure of falling avf 'la the
" old mole" burrowing the ground of the bastion
the worthy Dane was who hewed at the apparition
with his partisan, and clove it in twain, making
no more impression on its ghostly substance than
he would have done upon vapour or gas. If
Shakspere spun " Hamlet" out of hie brain,
then he created the castle and the town and the
whole surrounding scenery, both land and sea. •
You map as well disbelieve the evideca of you!
own senses as question the ni,lity of the action
which has made Rsintiro for ever intTnorable.
Denman's "Denmark" may be a mere tieetio of
myths, but "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" is your
true history. I lived the whole drama over again,
and was, for a whole hour, in the seventh heaven.
Presently, however, I fell from my drsarny altis
tude, and a new, a living interest spread over the
scene.

complete,
eternally divided, and the people ott them have been
almost invariably estranged from one another ever
since their earliest settlement in these nothern re-
gions. This land which I tread is Denmark ; yonder,
across the water, all Moog the Sound on my right, and
throughout that vast expanse of the Cattegat on my
left, lies Sweden. Danes and Swedes were originally
one people; Scandinavia seemed intended for one
State; the harsh language that grates on my ears
on this side is by no means unlike the dialect which,
no less harshly, would greet me were I to land on
the opposite shore. But, with the exception of a
few rare instances in Which
union between the
countries was established by main force, the two
kindred races have never coalesced; the two
brothers have at all times been the worst of neigh-
bours. The time IVa3 When they seemed to live
only to inflict all possible harm upon each other ;
and the day ha eottie) now, when one looks with
sterile sympathy, at least, 4
ndt with perfect in-
difference, on the downfall of the other. Sweden
has been but a Itikewarm, useless friend to Den•
mark in her hour of need. She Was lavish of her
good wishesf the held meetings, she voted money,
but she lent no efficient aid Whatever: The Swedish
and Norwegian volunteers in the Danish army at this
present moment may almost be numbered on one's
fingers' ends. Both at thia iennture and in 1849 the
performance of Sweden fell miserably short of her
magnificent promises. Yet, in the fate of nenmark
that of Sweden is undoubtedly, lisviever remotely
involved. The waning Scandinavian race is placed'
between two millstones, which have been for cen-
turies grinding it to (Viet, Denmark is hardly
more seriously threatened by German taratity than

Teutonic and Slavonic aintitinn will, in all proba-
bility, never rest till they come face to face on
either bank of this very Sound. Like the Polish,
the Italian, and so many other races, these brave
Northerners are threatened with subjection, if not
with destruction, less by the strength of their
neighbours than by division among themselves.
We hear, indeed, in Copenhagen, as in Stock-
holm and Christiania, of a longing for unity—of
national aspirations; but such yearnings are re-
stricted to a email party; they are the dream of
a few intelligent, generous, but impracticable
enthtisiasts. The unusual antipathies between the
lower classes are too deeply rooted, the present and
momentous interests of the leading men of the two
countries diverge too widely. Like most other
statesmen, the men at the head of the Swedish
Government live by the day—they take no heed
of the morrow; they labour under no apprehension
of evils as yet looming in the distance. It has been
said that King Charles takes the Danish cause
strongly to heart; that Norway especially is ready
to rise en masse in support of what was only half a

The election of a representative for Stockport in-
stead of the late Mr. Kershaw, took place yester-
day at the Market Hall. About 1,000 people were
present.

The Mayor (Mr, John Eskrigge) presided as re
turning officer.

Alderman ROBERT M'CLURE nominated, and
Alderman WILLIAMSON seconded, Mr. Edward W.
Watkin as a fit and proper person to represent the
borough of Stockport in Parliament.
There being no other candidate, the MAYOR called
for a show of hands, when Mr. Watkin was elected
unanimously.

Mr. WATKIN was received with' loud cheering.
He thanked the electors for their confidence, and
promised to do all he could to represent fairly their
opinions, but supporting those measures which
would be for the good of all classes of the community,
After paying a tribute to the worth of their late
representative, he said there were two pieces of good
news which had been received that morning. One
was that Lord Palmerston was getting better, and
the other that there was more chance of peace
through the action of the Conference. (Applause.)
He was not one of those who were for peace at any
price, but he was one who would pay any and every
price, except the entire forfeiture of national honour,
to prevent the bloodshed and loss of life and spolia-
tion that accompanied war, whether successful or
the contrary. (Cheers.) We were pretty well bound
over in this country to keep the peace. We had a
national debt of £800,000,000, the interest of which
being nearly £25,000,000 cost nearly a head in
taxation. Then we had a naval and military
expenditure of equal amount, which increased
the taxation to nearly £2 a head or £l2 for
each family. He hoped, therefore, our states-
men would hesitate before mingling in Euro-
pean quarrels which never brought good to this
country, but often prolonged the contest and had made
us to be regarded on the Continent as meddliug
islanders, rather than a people who had a healthy
public opinion to be brought to bear upon sur-
rounding Statas. Now we were at peace, let us
strain every possible exertion to keep so. At the
same time there were occasions when the feelings
and:sentiments of the people might become so out-
raged that peace was impossible. He most ear-
neatly hoped and prayed that the Conference might
end in a fair and just decision with regard to Den-
mark, and a cessation of the outrages which during
the last few months had shocked the conscience of
the whole world. (Applause.) Denmark, after
all, with its 4,000,000 people, was an honest State,
with a free constitutional Government. In the
north of Europe there were Sweden, Denmark,
Holland, and Belgium, at which the line must be
dzawn, for in the northern portion of Europe all
the larga Topulations were practically under des-
potic or military Governments. In the south of
Europe there was Certainly the gratifying spectacle
of the newly created end united kingdom of Italy,
Government was now uper:

its trhl." Therefore it was but natural to desire
that that firm of government which made think-
ing men, namely, self-government, should be pro-
moted, and he should grieve to think that consti-
tntiPnalzevornment was about to be weakened and
its area contracted by the destruction of Denmark.
(Cheers.l But, while rejoicing in the prospects of

modern inventions. (Hear, hear., We had in
rrood and
our constitution a great deal that was b
something that was bad, and the bad was at., -

a canker that extended and increased, anti
that must be removed. In this country there
were about 6,000,000 full grown men ; about the
same number of householders; and only 1,100,000
electors. He did not mean to say that it was neces-
sary, in order to have a free country and preserve
individual liberty,there should be an enormous mass
of voters, but it was necessary that every class
should be fiirly represented in that constituent body
which was really the foundation of legislation. We
might get on very well with a limited constituency,
but it 50 happened that the number of members
were not fairly proportioned to the number of con-
stituencies : 200,000 electors returned rather more
than one-half of the members, and it was just possi-
ble that some dirty little borough in the south of
England under territorial influence, neutralised the
votes of the representatives of an important town
like Stockport. The scale was often turned by 30
or 40 electors; and with regard to many of these
small boroughs, under the system of unfair division
of the franchise, influence, bribery, and beer were
the three elements which returned members to Par-
liament. (Cheers end laughter.) Under these cir-
cumstances, many of those good measures which the
Reform Aot might have given had been prevented,
and what we had now to direct our attention to was
an amendment of that reform. (Hear.) In 1859
Lord Derby's Government brought in a Reform
Bill, but although there were some good features
about it, it was not what might be called a good
one. The present Government came in on the
statement that the Tory Reform Bill was bad and
that they were going to give us a better. The Go-
vernment had not done so, and it would rest with
the electoral body to say whether at the next
general election (which might take place in a few
weeks of months) the question of an amendment
of the Reform Dili shall be that which will carry
a candidate on the hustings. Much of the re-
sult, it should be recollected, depended upon the
electors themselves? Parliament was pretty much
what the electore made it. If there was a con-
stituency of drunkards, there would not be many
teetotal members of Parliamentf and if a constitu-
ency were composed entirely of members Pf the
Church of England, but few of the representatives
would be dissenters. If a constituent body
was earnest and liberal its representatives
would correspond, and those remedial measures
which were thought necessary could be obtained.
He therefore looked with the greatest anxiety upon
what the public opinion of the country might say
when these gentlemen who were denominated the
servants of the people were sent to the place whence
they came, and had to stand before their supporters
at a general election. When we were spending
nearly £70,000,000 a year in taxation, it was quite
time to look about and see whether by the prosecu-
tion of peace we could not obtain retrenchment, and
whether by retrenchment we might not reduce some
of those grievous burdens of taxation which were
felt so much among various classes of the community.
(Cheers.) It was only the manufactures and
commerce of the country that could enable us to
bear it. Our imports and exports added together
had grown to the enormous amount of £460,000,000
sterling, and the difference of profit between what
we sent out and took in was more than £100,000,000
and it was out of that we paid the greatest portion
of our taxation, and if the country ceased to be com-
mercial and manufacturing its glory would be de-
parted, and it would sink to the level of a second or
third rate power. When he heard persons passing
strictures on free trade, and when he found there
were still a few whose eyes were not yet opened to
the great results of allowing people to transact their
business where and how they pleased, he was com-
pelled to go back and compare the present period
