TWO WEEKS LATER NEWS.
DENMARK AND THE DUTcHrEs.
One account from headquarters re-
presents that a slight engagement
had taken place on the Sth. 1t was
a mere affair of outposts. though at
first it was supposed the whole Dam
ish line was in motion. The attack
on the part of the Danes was preci-
pitated on account of an explosion
Of the laboratory Of the artillery OF
Gen. Wilson, by which there was
great loss of life and property-9l
persons, killed by the explosion, have
been buried, and 35 wounded, some
severely, and Ii put down as missing.
Many bodies were so mangled that
they could not be identified. Twen-
tv-two cadets of the military school
are among the killed. Scarcely a
house in the town has entirely es-
caped the conclusion. The effect
of the catastrophe on the public mind
has been very depressing. About
noon on Thursday, the day on which
the explosion took place, the Danish
General advanced large bodies OF
men to the very verge Of the right
wing OF the Schleswig Holstein posi-
ton. The latter retreated to the
main body, behind the bridge, and a
sharp struggle ensned, which gradu-
ally extended itself along the right
wing. TO the eastward, as far as Da-
venstedt. 1t lasted for some hours.
The Danes outnumbered the Schles-
wig Hoisteiners, but the latter ad
vanced upon the Danes with fixed
bayonets, and, with loud hurrahs,
drove them from their shelter. The
Danes fled in such a hurry that they
left behind their killed and wounded,
which is with them a most unusual
circumstance.
From Copenhagen it is stated the
King OF Denmark, amid all the broil
and trouble, has been pursuing his
usual amours and dissipations, and
that a denouement has been made oi
his clandestine marriage with live
ly and fascinating young dressmaker
Of that city.

SIT has afforded me great satisfac.
ton to give nv attention 10 the acts
which have passed for the improve.
ment of the merchants naval service.
It is, trust, calculated 10 promote
the welfare OF every class connected
with this essential branch of the
national interests. The acts for the
gradual discontinuance OF interments
within the limits of the metropolis is
in conformance with those enliSht-
ened views which have for their OBJ
ject the improvement Of the public
health. | look for the most benefi-
cial consequences from the measure
which has been framed with a view
TO give nv people in Ireland a fair
participation in our representative
system. The Improvement in the
revenue, and the large reductions
which have been made in various
branches OF expenditure, have ten
ded TO add to our financial condition,
stability and security
81 am encouraged TO hope that
the treaty between Germany and
Denmark, which has been concluded
at Berlin under my mediation, may
lead, at no distant period, to the re-
storation Of peace in the north Of
Europe.
81 continue TO maintain the most
friendly relations with the foreign
powers"
Commenting upon the business OF
the session just closed, the London
times says:
"The ministerial management Of
the Legislature has not been very
sagacious, very systematic, or very
business like. The reasons for this
may be traced, in a considerable de-
gree, to the second rate qualifications
of the cabinet. But these reasons
do not supply the whole truth. The
whig ministers are not ministers Sc
lected by the Commons, but forced
into Office by circumstances. Not
desire, but disaster, gave them place.
In any case they would not have
been good governors. They have
not the intellect TO command respect,
nor a policy 20 insist on attention.
But because the House Of Commons
were not their constituents, they had
to follow the House, for the House
would not follow them"
Among the more important bills
introduced by the ministry which
have falIen through, is the Jewish
