DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The following is General Von der Horst's fare-
well address to the relics of the Holstein army :-
1 Having done all that, as a Commander-in-Chief, it
will my duty to do, having redeemed my pledge to re-
main for the interest of order and discipline till the last
minute, and in common Riih yon, my comrades, to drink
the bitter cup to the dregs, I now abandon the service.
Soldiers, as well as those who have been dismissed as
those who remain, yott have submitted to what was ine-
vitable, with calm and manly resignation ; the hardest
fate that can befall the brave soldier yon have borne as
becomes you with quiet dignity, and displayed the best
discipline under the most difficult circumstances till the
last moment. You have thus proved to the world the
excellent spirit by which the army was animated. Re-
clive for it, through me, the thanks of the country, but
at the same time the heartfelt farewell of your Com-
mander. Preserve a friendly remembrance of me. I
hope this especially from thoselat whose head I fought
at Obetatolk during the bloody day at Idstedt. Much
as you may suffer, bear your fate with undepressed
courage, and do not cease to hope. The consciousness
of having faithfully discharged your duty will alleviate
and brignten the present. May trust in God strengthen
you in the hope of a more fortunate future. Farewell all.
" Your late Commander,
• " Baron VON DER HORST.

MINING IN TELLIGEN CE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There have again this week been some fluctuations in
the value of dividend shares, but they are generally of
the upward character, and considerable eagerness has
been exhibited to possess certain shares, in consequence
of greet imprevements in the respectivelodes. We have
also to notice that the accounts from both the eastern
district (including Devon) and the western portions of
Cornwall are gratifying, as showing the advantages et-
tending the continuous application of capital and mining
skill, where the ground is of an unquestionably conge-
nial character for the production of ores, thus encourag-
ing to unlimited perseverance. It is useless, we fear, to
remark on the new schemes continuing to be absorbed
by the influence of the Stock Exchange, at ten times
beyond their real value, including the heavy premiums
obtained but a cure for such evils must come sooner or
later, when expectant dividends will probably be an-
swered by demands for additional capital.
In the Metal Market, a fall of 4/. per ton has taken
place in English tin, and a consequent decline in foreign,
with very little business.-Lead has a good consump-
tive demand.-Copper very brisk, end steady in price.-
In tin plates, the quantity offering for sale being large,
and principally in second hands, prices are easier; the
demand, however, continues extensive.
The returns of the sales of copper ore by public ticket-
ing in Cornwall for three months, ending 31st March,
shows the amount to be 36,860 tons of ore, producing
2,897 toss of fine copper, and with an average price of
51. 4s. 4e.. on a produce of 7•859 par cent., realising the
sum of 192,274/. 11s. 4d., being, a decrease both on the
previous querler and on the corresponding one of 1850.
The wales at Swansea also show a considerable decrease
on the previous quarter; they amounted to 8,893 tons,
and, at an average price of 121. 7a. ld. per ton, realised
109,9461. 12s. 61., being a decrease of 245 tons, and
4,158/. 153. in mon.3y.
Among the arrivals at Swansea have been 2,070 tons
of copper ore from Cuba; 120 tons of copper ore, 217
of regales, and 69 tons manufactured (cake) copper,
frown Valparaiso.
The Roughtengill Lead Mine (Cumberland) has de-
livered to the smelting-works 58 tons 4 cwts. of ore.
Wheal Golden Consols sold, on the 26th March, 75
tons of silver-lead ores, at 131. ss. per ton, realising
9931. 15s.
The Foxdale Mines (Isle of Man) sold 90 tons of lead
ore, at 121. 13s.
The Lisburne Mines sold at Aberystwitb, on the 31st
March, 100 tons of lead ore, at 12/. Os. 6d. (1,2021. lOs.),
and 80 tons, at 11/. Bs. (9121); total, 2,114/. 10s.
Rhoswyddol Mine sold 6 tons of silver-lead ore, at
40/. Ss. per ton.
Dyfnwm sold 16 tons of silver-lead ore, at 10/. 18s.
6d. per ton.
Cairnsmoro sold 40 tons of silver-lead ore, at 111. 3s.
6d. per ton.
A great improvement has taken place in Exmoor
Wheal Eliza.
From. the Alport Mines some indications of improve.
ment are reported in two or three of the works of trial
-a sink on the New Year's Gift Vein, the 8 fie. level
on the Milking-place vein, and the 5 fm. level on Amos
Cross vein. About CO tons of lead ore have been
sampled.
In Camborne Consols we learn there is an improve-
ment in the 10 fin. level east and 20 fm. level west, in
Mr. Pendarves' ground.
At the Callington Mines the rise in the back of the
70 fan level, on Kelly Bray's lode, will turn outs tons of
copper ore per fin.
Mr. Percival Johnson having had a large stone from
the discovery in the 84 fm. level at Groat Polgooth, re-
ports:-" I consider the whole, rough as it is, would give
about 15 to 20 per cent. of white tin, which is good
enough, and a more congenial matrix for tin I have
seldo,m seen. The tin in the stone also appears a very
superior quality for mine tin. I congratulate those in-
terested."
An adunce in the price of Alfred Consols within the
last few days from 16} to 171 10s. and 181. buyers, at
Hull and elsewhere, has caused sellers to be shy-price
now asking is 19/., owing to the cheering prospects
they already hays in the 80 fm. level. This advance
has bad the effect of sending on West Alfred from 201.
' to 2301., the price now named by the seller. Higher
figures are asked for Tremaynes.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette of this day.)
CHANGE OF QUARTERS.—The following Regiments
are under orders to change quarters in the course of the
present spring:-4th from Plymouth to Weedon; 21st
from Glasgow to Newcastle; 23d from Plymouth to
Preston; 33d from N wcastle to Edinburgh; 46th from
14.
Hull to Preston; 4 from Weedon to Portsmouth
77th from Newport to lymouth; 79th depot from Ber-
wick to Scotland; 82d from Portsmouth to Newport;
88th depot from Bury to Canterbury; 93d from Edin-
burgh to Glasgow; 85th from Preston to Hull.
AUSTRIAN OFFICERS IN ENGLAND.—Certain officers
of this army were presented at the last levee by the
Austrian Minister, who had been ordered by their Go-
vernment to inquire into the interior economy of the
British army, as regards barracks, rations, and other
matters, with the view of ascertaining to what extent
their own system is susceptible of improvement. The
officers have received every assistance from the military
authorities in this eoantry.
MILITARY FINANCIAL REronets.—A committee, cam-
posed of military, naval, and commissariat officers, is
sitting at the Treasury, for the revision of naval and
military establishments abroad. They have already
reported on Malta, and it seems much improvement is
likely to result from their labours, ngt only in pecu-
niary saving, but in improving the condition of the
soldier, fresh meat being proposed to be supplied more
frequently than formerly, in discontinuing stores of
salt meat, and prospective reduction of civilians now
employed, including some of the commissariat officers
and clerks.
The death of Major Gen. Sir Dudley Hill leaves vacant
one of the Divisional Commands of the Indian Army.
These are among the best Staff offices in the rift of the
Commander-in-Chief, the salary being about 4,0001. a-
year, and the tour lasting for four years. The duty is of
a nature to require the services of active officers, of whom,
thanks to the delayed brevet, there are not too many now
available.
VACANT BEGIIIENTS.—There are now at the disposal
of the Commander-in-Chief three Regiments—the 37th,
vacant by the death of Sir Alexander Duff; the 50th, by
the death of Sir Dudley Hill; and the 77th, by the death
of Sir John Macleod.
Captain Tulloch will leave England on the 12th inst.,
for Canada, for the purpose of becoming superintendent
of the pensioners resident in North America. The Com-
mander-in-Chief has declined to promote him to a
majority, but has no objection to local rank being con-
ferred upon him.
tillE CO3I3IAND AT THE WINDWARD ISLANDS.—Ma-
jor-General Wood, C.B , proceeds by the packet of the
17th instant to Barbadoes, to assume the command of the
troops iu the Windward and Leeward Islands. Captain
G. Black, half-pay kLtired Staff Corps, is to be retained
in his present appointment as military secretary; and it
is rumoured that Captain Deshon, of the 48th, will pro-
ceed with him as aide-de-camp.
STAFF.—Captain Deshon, 48th Regiment, and Cap-
_ _

tain Fox Made Ramsay, 56th Regiment, have been ap-
pointed Ai&s-de-C,lmp to Lieutenant General Wood,
the Commander-in• Chief of the Windward and Leeward
Islands.
The Lieutenant General Commanding the Forces in
Ireland has bee❑ pleased to approve of the County of
Mayo, in the Dublin District, being added to the Lime-
rick District.

THE CANTEEN AT TUE HORSE GUARDS.—We an-
nouncQd a short time since that the Canteen at the
Horse Guards had been abolished, and the rooms appro-
priated for the use of the recruiting department. We
now ad that the field officers of the Foot Guards, who

had a vested interest in the letting of the building, are
to receive a compensation of 31.21. for the ensuing year,
for the loss sterained on account of rent.

In recording the promotion of Dr. Babington to the
rank of surgeon in the Royal Navy, we had hoped also
to have had the pleasure of announcing the advance-
ment to the same rank of Dr. J. Brown, who at forty-
eight hours' notice left her Majesty's ship Victory, at
Portsmouth, and embarked for Jamaica, where since his
arrival he has been most indefatigable in his attention
to cholera and other patients. Moreover, Dr. Brows
has been acting surgeon of several of her Majesty's ships
in the West Indies for a period exceeding live years.
