DENMARK AND THE CONFERENCE.
COPENHAGEN, JUNE 1, 11 A.M.

The Dagbladet of to-day expresses itself violently
against England's proposal at the Conference for
the division of Schleswig, and demands that the
Government should meet it with a decided resist-

ante.
The organ of the Conservative party likewise
prefers war to the acceptance of this proposal.

FRANCE.

PARIS, JUNE 2.

M. Durny, Minister of Public Instruction, has
presented a report to the Emperor, pointing out
the abnormal position occupied by M. Renan, who
by a measure of public order has been incapacitated
for the last two years from fulfilling the duties of
his Professorship at the College of France,
The Minister says :—" It is as contrary to the
good administration of the public funds as to the
dignity of a distinguished scholar, that he should
be compelled to submit to the anomaly of receiving
salary without fulfilling his functions. Not being
able to restore M. Renan to the chair which
he occupied on a single occasion, it is expedient
to loyally terminate the present abnormal state of
things by appointing M. Renan to other functions."
In consequence of M. Duruy's report, an impe•
rial decree has been issued, appointing M. Ronan
Assistant Curator of the Imperial Library.

The ceremony of the consecration of Notre.. Dame
took place yesterday as announced. Mgr. Darboy,
Archbishop of Paris, went to the church on the pre.
vious day, and prepared the different sacred vessels
to be used on the occasion. The ceremony com-
menced at seven in the morning with closed doors ;
it was long, and in strict conformity with the decrees
of the congregation of Rites of May, 1835, and July,
1845. The doors, the walls, and the altars were
all blessed by the consecrating prelate, and the
sign of the cross made on them with water and oil.
One of the most characteristic parts of the cere-
monial, and which represents the alliance of the
Church of Asia with the Latin Caureb, is that in
which the prelate, mitred and croziered, and
commencing by the left side of the building,
writes diagonally on the fbor with the end of
his crozier all the letters of the Greek alphabet,
and then, beginning by the opposite corner, writer
those of the Latin. It was only at half-past
nine that the doors Were opened to the public,
who had assembled in great numbers waiting
for admission. The psalms prescribed by the
ritual were then sung. Mgr. Darboy was assisted
by Mgr. Ravient, Bishop of Troyes, and Mgr.
Lecomtier, Bishop of Montpellier. The other pre-
lates present were Mgr. Trioche, Archbishop of Ba-
bylon, and the Bishop of 111eaus, Pamiers, Bois,
Orleans, Adras, Bourbon, Sure, Chartres, Parium,

and Niacy. Mgr. RaviLe: celebrated the mass
performed after the consecration. Mr. Hamille
Director of Public Worship, was present to repre+
sent the minister of that department, and Coun
de Montalembert, M. Thayer, senator, and M. Cor-
nadet, Councillor of State, as members of the Counci
of Wardenship for the cathedral.

"We have reason to know," says the Patnie,
" that prlor to the last sitting of the Conference the
Danish Government made known to the Powers its
determination to re-establish the blockade at the
expiration of the delay fined for t'..23 suspension of
arms."

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No alteration has been made this morning in the
minimum rate of discount by the directors of the
Bank of England at their weekly meeting. Ir had
been
very generally expected that a reduction of
nee per cent. would have been made in consequence
°f the increasing reserves of gold at the establish-
ment, and also the loss of discount business sus-
tained by the authorities through the great couces-
°tens made in toe open market for the negotiation
of commercial bills. That the idea was not ill-
l_eneded by the mercantile community may be in-
ferred from the circumstance that yesterday first-
°lase paper was negotiated as low as 6, yper cent.
The rate now in the open market is 61 per cent.
