PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIAN CHINESE.—The over-
land Singapore Free Press has the following :—." The chief
event of a local nature which we have to notice this month
is the occurrence of a very extensive movement in the inte-
rior of our island against the converts to Christianity among
the Chinese pepper and gambier planters. A simultaneous
attack was made upon the bangsals or plantations of these
persons in all quarters of the island by their heathen compa-
triots, instigated, it is believed, by the secret societies, which
exert such a baneful influence over our Chinese population.
Upwards of 30 bangsals were plundered, and the unfort-
nate owners and their Coolies driven out. The police in the
interior was augmented, and warrants issued against a num-
ber of persons, but a very determined resistance was offered,
and the police were obliged several times to fire in self de-
fence, by which it is believed ten or a dozen of the Chinese
were killed. A party of military was sent out to strengthen
the police, but it was afterwards deemed advisable by the au-
thorities to suspend the further execution of the warrants, and
to recall part of the military. The Chinese are indisposed to
submit, saying they wish to be allowed to fight out their
quarrel with their Christian countrymen, and that the police
have no business to interfere in the matter. The utmost
give threaten
they can be brought to concede is, that if no further pro-
ceedings are taken in executing the warrants, they will not

be made by the police to apprehend any more of their body.
In most of the plantations all work has been suspended for
some time, and the effects of these lawless
proceedings are
likely to be most disastrous to all concerned. Several of the
parties first apprehendedwere tried at the Session of Oyer
and Termine ,r and being convicted were sentenced to trans-
portation to Bombay. This does not seem, however, to have
made much impression, as the Chinese appear to rely
on
their powers of combined • resistance to avert further measures
against them."

REPRESENTATION OF BOSTON.

BOSTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 18.—Two candidates for
the representation of this borough, rendered vacant
by the death of the Hon_ Captain Dudley Pelham,
are now fairly in the field, and the contest will be be-
tween a Protectionist on the one hand and a Liberal
on the other. Mr. Alderman D. W. Wire is the can-
didate on the Liberal side, and Mr. Freshfield, late
solicitor to the Bank of England, has arrived in the
town, and is soliciting the suffrages of the Protec-
tionist section of the constituency.
Last evening both candidates held meetings of
their friends, and are active in canvassing the electors.
The friends of Mr. Wire assembled at the Town
Hall, Alderman Noble presiding.
Mr. Councillor STEVENS said he had great pleasure
in introducing Mr. Wire to the meeting—not that an
introduction was necessary, for that gentleman had
on previous occasions fought the battle of the Liberal
party in the borough. Those battles had not hitherto
been successful, but there seemed to be little doubt
that on the present occasion Mr. Wire would be most
triumphantly elected.—(Cheers.) Since that gentle-
man last appeared on their hustings he had received a
high honour from his fellow-citizens, who had
elected him an alderman and magistrate of the first
city in the world. He felt convinced that the electors
of Boston would also appreciate the value of Mr.
Wire's services. He concluded by proposing a reso-
lution which affirmed that Alderman Wire was a fit
and proper person to represent the borough of Boston
in Parliament.

DENMARK AND ENGLAND.
(Continued from The Son of Monday.)
COPFNIIAGSN, APRIL s.—The fstigues of our
journey, lightened as they h ad been by tne kindness
of our curio news, by the general good humour of the
party, and by the civility of the people, forbade,
nevertheless, any very energetic exertion on Wednes-
day, the day of our arrival; so, after we had delivered
our dispatches at the Foreign Minister's residence,
we spent the day in a sort of philosophical but very
idle contemplation of the city, principally from the
windows of our hotel. Copenhagen does not (now)
justify Murray's description of it, for a more stately
city can scarcely be imagined. The streets wide and
long, filled with spacious and lofty houses of un-
spotted whiteness, and built with great regularity, re-
mind one somewhat of Bath, but that the ground is
level ; many of them all but equal, in breadth, to the
Irishman's test of street architecture—Sackville-
street, Dublin. But large squares break up their
continuous lines, and the eye rests on fine statues,
noble palaces, and splendid buildings devoted to the
arts, to amusement, to justice, or to the purposes of
religion in every quarter of the city. Copenhagen is
but a creation of the last century, and, after a little
time spent there, a large portion of it gives the idea
that it was built, all of a sudden, by some Danish
Grissell and Peto, according to contract. Sur-
rounded by a deep foss, by ramparts and intrench-
wilts, defended by formidable forts and batteries,
filled with the halls of kings, with churches, mu-
seums, and castles, it combines the appearance of a
new cut made by the Royal Commissioners through
some old London rookery with the air of an old
feudal town. The moat prohibits any considerable
extension. Seen under a bright cold sky, the
blanched fronts of the houses, the white walls of the
public edifices, the regularity of the streets, conveyed
an impression of cleanliness which could only be de-
stroyed when one happened to look down at his feet,
or ceased to keep guard over his nose. The paving
is of the style which may be called Titanic, and was
never intended for any foot garb less defensive than
a sabot or a caliga. The drainage is superficial,
that is, all the liquid refuse of the city runs, or
rather walks very leisurely, along grooves in
the pavement aforesaid, which are covered over
by board, in various stages of decomposition. In
summer the city must be worse than Berlin (which,
by the bye, it very much resembles in many re-
spects). In spring time, after rain, my own experi-
ence tells me it suggests forcible reminiscences of
the antique odours of Fleet-ditch. One thing which
soon strikes the stranger is the apparant want of
shops. But they are to be found by those who want
them. Nearly every trader carries on his business
very modestly in his front parlour, and makes a mo-
derate display of his stock in the ordinary window,
so that the illusory and enchanting department of
trade is quite gone. A Danish gentleman can walk
out with his wife without the least fear that he will
fall a victim to " a stupendous sacrifice," or be im-
molated on the altar of " an imperative necessity to
clear out in a week."
Moving through these streets is a quiet, soberly-
attired population. Bigger than most foreigners and
with great roundness of muscle and size of bone, your
Dane wants the dapper air of the Frenchman or the
solemnity of the Spaniard, while be is not so bearded
or so dirty as the German. But then he smokes
prodigiously, dresses moderately in the English
style, is addicted to jewellery in excess' arid has a
habit of plodding along straight in the middle of the
road with his bead down, which must be a matter of
considerable annoyance to the native cabman. He
is, however, amazingly polite. He not only takes
off his bat to every one he knows, but gives any
lady acquaintance the trouble of recognizing him
by bowing to her before she has made up her
mind whether the individual is known or not.
Another of his peculiarities is, that he always has a
dog. I should say more correctly there is always a
dog following him, for I have seen an animal which
seemed to be bound by the closest ties to a particular
gentleman placidly leave him at the corner of a
street, and set off on an independent walk by itself.
These dogs are, in fact, a feature of the place by
themselves. In number they can only be excelled by
the canine scavengers of Cairo or Constantinople, and
in mongreliness and ugliness by no place in the world
—not even by Tuani before the potato rot. They get
up little extemporary hunts through the squares, the
trail being generally the remnant of an old rat, car-
ried away by the foremost, and dash between your
legs from unexpected apertures in walls and houses,
so as to cause very unpleasant consequences to the
nervous or feeble sojourner. On seeking for an ex-
planation of their great abundance, I was informed
that they were kept to kill rats. But this is a mere
delusion. These dogs are far too wise to lose their
health by keeping late hours in pursuit of vermin. No,
they retire as soon as darkness sets in, and with darkness
out come the rats in the most perfect security. Such
rats I they are as big as kitterni, and their squeaking
under the wooden planks of the gutters as you walk
home is perfectly amazing. The celebrated dog
Billy would have died in a week of violent exercise
in any one street in Copenhagen, giving him his
usual allowance of murder. I must say that in the
matters of paving, dogs, rats, sewers, water, and
lights, Copenhagen is rather behind the rest of the
world. As to the lights, they are sparsely placed,
and as yet gas is not used. With a laudable eco-
nomy the oil• wicks are extinguished when the moon
shines, and the result is, that sometimes an envious
cloud leaves the whole city in Cimmerian darkness
for the rest of the night, in consequence of five
minutes' moonshine in the early part, as, once put
out, they are not again relumed. In the crowd you
meet many pale sorrow-stricken women in mourn-
ing, and now and then a poor soldier limps before
you, with recent bandages on his stump,
or hobbles along limpingly, with perhaps a
sabre cut across the face, or an empty coat sleeve
dangling from his shoulder; and then you remember
all the horrors the late war must have caused Den-
mark, when out of her small population 90,000 men
were under arms in the field. It can scarcely atone
for this sight to meet dashing Hussars, with their red
coats and sheepskin calpacks, heavy Dragoons in
light-blue and dark green, Jagers in smart frocks of
olive-green, decorated with stars and ribands, and
swaggering along in all the pride of having smelt
powder and done their duty. They are numerous
enough, indeed every third man is a soldier, but one
of these sad widows or orphans is an antidote to the
glories of these fine heroes scarcely less powerful than
that of the spectacle of their mutilated and mangled
comrades. This war has roused the national spirit of
Denmark; it has caused her to make a powerful
effort to shake off all connexion with Germany, or
dependence on her Germanic subjects, but it has cost
her 5,000,000/. of money, and it has left many a
home desolate for ever.
As the National Exhibition of Paintings, just
open for the season, the counterpart of our Royal
Academy Exhibition, was temptingly near, we could
not evade the duty of inspecting it. Art in England
must be at a very low ebb ; at least I do not remem-
ber any exhibition for many years which the critics
have not declared to be of " inferior merit," " a
great number of moderate productions," " few of
sterling merit or with pretensions to high art," &c.
That may be quite true, but I wish our Angelo Tit-
marshes could just take half an hour's stroll through
this display of Danish talent. The Danes have pro-
duced great sculptors. Their paintings are coloured
statuary when they treat animated subjects, and their
landscapes are as hard, crude, and clear as the
daguerreotype sketches in our shop windows. Out of
204 subjects contained at this exposition of the Kon-
gelige Akademie, there was not one historical picture
—not one piece of a higher order than imitations of
Dutch cabinet pictures, frigid landscapes, and stiff,
spiritless portraits. The late war had given its in-
spiration to some of the artists, and we saw some very
vigorous episodes on canvas. The " Episode of
Slaget ved Fredericia," by M. Simonson, is a vivid
representation of men in green and brown, stabbing,
shooting, and bayoneting each other, with a large
display of men in theatrical agonies, and, with " the
Battle of Idstedt," a piece of the same character, by
M. Sonne, is entitled to notice for a certain precise
force and cold reality. The landscapes are frightful.
Turner, in his wildest moments, never dashed gam-
boge and yellow ochre over his trees in a more
reckless manner than our Copenhagen Acade-
micians. Their skies are of unadulterated ultra-
marine, the perspective Gothic, and the taste
and selection of subjects, to my eyes,
decidedly bad. I would except from the general list
of portrait-painting mediocrity M. Baumann, who
has a fine manner and rich colour. The fruit sub-
jects, principally by Jensen and Ottesen, are far
superior to the rest of the exhibition. It was, how-
ever, interesting to see the decided and hearty way in
which the spectators criticised the paintings, and jus-
tice compels me to add, the national taste is so far
cultivated that the largest groups were round the best
efforts of exhibitors. Although the walls are only
whitewashed, the light was far better than can be
afforded in any public building here, and the rooms
were so extensive that every artist had fair play ;
and the rawest signboard daub of a green boat in a
sky-blue sea, with amber waves and verdigris trees,
had as good a chance as the best battle-piece of the
best artist. A dinner, a visit to the Casino, which I
must in propriety state to be a theatre for light
comedy and vaudevilles, finished the day, and it was
with no small anxiety the voyagers sought their beds
at an early hour, and there wrestled with the exten-
sive mattresses, which their English notions led them
to imagine should be under instead of over their per-
sons, until they gave up the contest as hopeless, End
inserted themselves between two layers of feathers,
wool, and padding, which, with the aid of a powerful
stove, soon satisfied them for the want of blankets.
Next day (Thursday) we had the honour of being
invited to an interview with Count Sponneck, the
Minister of Finance, whose connexion with the re-
cent negotiations has caused his name to be gene-

Mr. C. F. BARBER, in seconding the resolution,
remarked that in all the pursuits in which he had
been engaged, Alderman Wire had shown himself an
exemplary man of business. Such a man they
wanted as their representative.
Alderman WIRE then came forward 'and was re-
ceived with repeated rounds of applause. He said he
deeply regretted the circumstances under which he
appeared before the electors on that occasion. He
had, not very many months ago, contested the repre-
sentation of the borough with the Hon. Captain Pel-
ham, now deceased, and he would much rather have
met that lamented gentleman to have once more con-
tested the election with him than be present on that
occasion as a candidate for the suffrages of the elec-
tors. Most of the gentlemen who appeared before
him that day knew perfectly well the political prin-
ciples to which he was attached, for he bad boldly
and unreservedly declared them when be asked the
electors for their support at the general election in
1847, and again last year, when the contest was be-
tween himself and Captain Pelham. He was deeply
anxious to extend the franchise to those amongst the
community who deserved it, but who had been
so long deprived of it. The people would
would never be properly represented in the House
of Commons until that right was conceded to them.
Along with that extension of the franchise he thought
it highly necessary that the voter should have the
protection of the ballot.—(Hear, hear.) In many,
districts voters were intimidated and unduly influ-
enced, which would not be the case if the practice of
voting by ballot were encouraged. The gentleman
who has just announced himself as a candidate (Mr.
Freshfield) had declared himself favourable to a re-
turn to the principles of protection. He (Alderman
Wire) would never consent to the imposition of a tax
on the poor man's loaf, nor would he sanction any
scheme which would cause one part of the community
to be taxed for the benefit and aggrandizement of
another.—(Loud cheers.) While he thought that a
system of protection was injurious to the great body
of the people, he did not believe it was of any real
benefit to the farmer, or ever would be, even if he
could obtain it, which he held to be utterly impossible.'
That system bad never worked well, and it was in
the highest degree absurd to agitate for the destruc-
tion of that system of commercial policy which the
Legislature sanctioned in 1846, in obedience to the
popular will. He did not for a moment deny that the
agricultural interest had of late been in a state of very
great depression. It was well known that in the body
physical no member could suffer without the whole
body being affected by it. So it was in the body politic
—no interest could suffer without injuriously affecting
the other great interests of the community. He would
therefore relieve the farmer, not by returning to the
exploded theory of protection, but by equalising the
burdens on land, and removing every unjust and un-
necessary impost.—(Loud cheers, and some interrup-
tion.) The farmer would be obliged to do what the
manufacturer had already done, with so much advan-
tage to himself—he must improve his machinery,
apply the aids of science, and make his land more
productive.—(A. voice, " How can be do that ? he is
ruined already.") If the farmer adopted that course,
he would find in a short time, when the effects of the
present transition had passed away, that he would be-
come more prosperous, more happy, than he had ever
been under what was falsely called "protection to
agriculture."—(Loud cheers.) Under that baneful
system the cultivators of the soil had never prospered,
although efforts were now made to induce them to
believe that the free-trade system had been the cause
of all their trouble and distress. They had always,

at periods varying from seven to ten years, been
greatly distressed, and had been continually going to
ruin; but they had not been ruined yet, nor would
they be if they took the proper steps to avert such a
catastrophe. He was in favoar of an extended system
of education for the people, for the more economical
administration of law, and the abolition of all sine-
cures and unearned pensions. He was also an advo-
cate for direct taxation, in preference to the unjust
and injudicious system which at present prevailed.
Alderman Wain answered several questions put to
him by various persons in a manner satisfactory to the
meeting, and the resolution declaring him to be a fit
and proper person to represent the borough in Par-
liament was put by the Chairman and unanimously
adopted.
Mr. FRESHFIELD'S friends met him last evening at
the Peacock Hotel, when he declared pretty fully his
political views. He commenced by expressing the
deep regret he felt at the somewhat sudden death of
their late representative. He (Mr. Freshfield) came
before the constituency of Boston as a staunch and
unflinching advocate of British interests. The time
had gone by when an English representative could,
consistently with his duty to his fellow-countrymen,
attach himself to any party for mere party purposes.
—(Hear, hear.) There were at that moment national
objects to be attended to, which a simple desire for
the national welfare could alone secure. It would be
in the recollection of the electors that nearly two yesirs
ago he presented himself for the honour of represent•
ing their borough in the Commons House of Parlia-
ment. He was at that time encouraged, although
late in the field, by numerous promises of
kind support. On that occasion he appealed to the
electors as a Protectionist. He would not stop to
translate a phrase so widely understood, but would at
once declare that the opinions he then entertained
were the fruit of long experience and mature delibe-
ration.—(Loud. cheers.) Those opinions were adopted
by
him for
.no party purposes, and a further lapse of
time, in which a great shock had been given to one of
the great interests of the country, had strengthened
the convictions he then entertained. He believed that
to enable the British farmer to earn his bread was
both practicable and just.—(Loud cheers.) Neither
humanity, nor sound policy, nor common sense de-
manded that we should ruin any one class in the
country for the supposed benefit of the rest.—(Hear,
hear.) He was firmly impressed with the belief that
the prosperity of the great agricultural body in this
country—and with such the interests of the consti-
tuency of Boston were immediately connected—was
essential to the integrity and well-being of all
classes of the people.--(Hear, hear.) As a Protes-
tant, and a member of the Church of England, he
held himself bound not only to tolerate but to re-
spect the religious scruples of all classes of his
fellow-subjects. At the same time, since neither civil
nor religious liberty could exist for an hour with the
violation of established law, be must protest against
the unwarrantable presumption of a foreign priest,
.
who set the law of the country at defiance order
to deprive its people ultimately of their spiritual and
social independence.—(Loud cheers.) In reference
to financial matters, Mr. Freshfield said that, heavily
taxed as this country was, he regarded financial
economy and frugality as essential to the continuance
of our national prosperity and safety.. He would,
therefore, advocate every possible reduction of public
expenditure consistent with national security. To
that extent he would unhesitatingly say that he was
a thorough financial reformer.
After a long catechetical examination, which Mr.
Freshfield underwent with great good humour, the
meeting resolved that
he was a proper person to re-
present ',them, and accordingly promised him their
earnest support.
Mr. J. Rawson, the mayor of Boston, received the
writ for a new election at a late hour last evening,
and the election will take place on an early day in
the ensuing week.

TRADE AT ANCONA..—Galignani gives the follow-
ing account of the trade at this port:—" In 1850 the mer-
cantile vessels which cast anchor in the port of Ancona
amounted to 2,825, forming an aggregate of 111,262 tons
burden. The number of vessels that left the port was 2,686,
comprising 109,100 tons burden. The imports amounted to
13,376,939 f., and the exports of native produce to 4,960,085 f.
Foreign produce re-exported amounted to 4,6*7,356f. 7k e
nations which took a share in this commercial movement
were as follows :—England imported 6,755,880 f. worth of
goods ; Austria, 5,874,454 f. ; Greece, 666,960 f. ; Sicily,
501,624 f.; Sardinia, 253,572 f. ; and Belgium, 72,0001. The
exports were distributed as follows :—England, 2,413,756 f.;
Austria, 5,488,346 f. ; Sicily, 480,000 f.; Greece, 182,7361. ;
and Sardinia, 120,000 f."

TAR AND FEATRERS.—Tbe use of tar and feathers
in the punishment of crime is one of great antiquity.
Richard I , in his voyage to the Holy Land, ordained thus :
" If any one be convicted of theft, let his head be shaved,
like Champion's, let melted pitch be poared upon it, and
feathers shaken over it, that he may be known, and let
him be put ashore at the first laud to which the ship ap-
proaches."

rally known to us. In Denmark he has a high re-
putation as a financier. The Count expressed a great
interest in the route—inquired into the state of the
roads, and, finally, gave us au assurance, which from
Minister of Finance was vary valuable, that the
roads through Jutland should be improved. As we
retired we could not but feel how much happier we
were than a deputation of our fellow-citizens would
have been who had gone up to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for a little promise of disbursement or re-
pealing a tax. The simplicity, unostentatious frank-
ness, and openness of so high an officer had a smack
of Republicanism about it which was very striking
from some obvious contrasts. Then we visited a
glorious old palace, the Castle of Rosenborg, which
seems to have been built for the purpose of holding
all the curiosities that could he stowed away in its
splendid apartments. Hampton Court, Windsor—l
had almost said Versailles—can scarcely stand com-
parison with this Palace. It is full of wonders
of wealth, and of historic interest, and, with the ex-
ception of portraits and pictures, offers more objects
of decided worth to the notice of the visitor than
any public national entrepot of sights with which I
am acquainted. You can wield the swords of Charles
XII. of Sweden and of Gustavus Adolphus, see the
first set of china ever brought to Europe, quaff
imaginary healths out of the most delicate and beauti-
ful Venetian glass, or out of the giant horn of Olden-
burgh, in which Christian the I. pledged the health of
Charles the Bold in 1447, and which contains on its
sides a whole history of the life and manners of the
times, and speculate on the splendours, the follies, and
the extravagant vices of the ancient Kings of Denmark,
who have left behind them so many proofs of their
selfishness, profusion, and licentiousness. Among
these cetusta monuments are the horse-trappings pre-
sented by Christian IV. to his son in 1644, which
cost 1,000,000 f. The mode in which the col-
lection is arranged deserves the highest praise.
Each article is placed under the era to which it be-
longed, and the result is, that we can form a good
idea of the respective states of the arts, and of their
advance, during each reign. The collection of coins
can scarcely be excelled. There are 1,150 Grecian
and 21,000 Roman coins, and (shame to us !) there
is a complete and extensive series of the national
coinage, from the earliest periods. In the English
department I was pleased to see specimens of those
curious English coins, the late " florin," and the
" Victoria crown piece." We were nearly foot-
foundered before we emerged from the palace, and
the time which it required to see this collection left
nothing of the day for other purposes. The Theatre
Royal, and a tragedy of CEhlenschlager, in a tongue
unknown to us, but in substance rendered intelligible
by the ability of the actors, were all we could ma-
nage. As a matter on which we might take a hint,
I may mention that in the Danish theatres the light
during the performance is almost confined to the
stage, the audience being left in comparative dark-
ness. This must be rather severe on the actors, but
it secures the attention of the audience. If they
want to see anything they must look to the foot-
lights, and the light when it comes between the acts
is all the more grateful.—Times.

LOWESTOFT AND DENMARK CATTLE-

TRADE.

LOWESTOFT, FRlDAY.—Yesterday afternoon, at
half-past three o'clock, the Prince, mail steamer, Cap-
tain Hart, entered this harbour on her third return
voyage from Hjerting, on the Jutland coast, which
she left the previous day, shortly before one o'clock, thus
again making a splendid run within seven and twenty
hours. The Prince has now brought 136 cattle, 83
pigs, and 8 horses, all in excellent condition, making
a total importation within the present month of 217
cattle, 228 pigs, and 16 horses, together with a con-
siderable quantity of beef and pork in barrels, besides
cured meat. The Prince likewise brought dispatches
and letters from Copenhagen, which were forwarded
by the evening train, and would have been delivered
in London this morning. Already the establish-
ment of this route has caused the greatest ac-
tivity to prevail all through the cattle-breeding
districts of Holstein, Schleswig, Jutland, Funer,
Zealand, and even as far as the Swedish main
land. From the latter country numbers of the
inhabitants are preparing to reach the Exhibition
along the track described in The Sun of Monday,
whence it appears that the distance between the
Danish and the British capitals, including all stop-
pages, and the time necessary to ship the cattle at
Hjerting, may readily be traversed in little over 70
hours, 61i hours being the stipulated period in the
company's time bills for conveying the mail bags from
one metropolis to the other. Additional steamers will
be placed on the station early next month, and every
exertion will be made to accommodate the traffic
which is being developed much more promptly and
extensively than could have been anticipated from the
existing trade of an analogous nature carrying on bu-
t ween Hamburgh and London. The alacrity with
which the British Post-offi,e has availed itself of the
new route for the transmission of letters to the North
of Europe is most gratifying and commendable, con-
trasting so advantageously as it does with the old
routine at St. Martin's-le-Grand in matters of this
sort, where the pirtial adoption of the most obvious
improvements was only effected by incessant applica-
tion on the part of those concerned, and was then ge-
neralty encumbered with such restrictions that robbed
the concession of half its value.
