Tho success attained by the Cr&lit Mobilier of Paris has recently led to the establishment of somewhat similar insti. tations in London, their introduction meeting with marked saccess, as is evidenced by the large dividends paid to their share,holdera,and increased value of the shares, such increase being &nun 100 to 200 per cent. on the amount paid. The fact that Scotland, notwithstandi ng th e magn it u d e and rapid in crease of her commerce, has no institution of the kind contemplated, has suggested to the projectors of the present company the formation of an institution founded on strutter principles to the Craft Mobilier of Paris, but em brazing a larger field far its operations. The progress of Scotland has been greater during late years than that attained by any other country in the world. Zttuletier i of shipbuilding on the Clyde alone, during the year 1863, show that 171 vessels, with an aggreg a t e ton nage of 121,00 0 tons, were launshed, ' while 3,148 sailing ships, with an aggregate tonnage of 350,956 tons entered the river in the same year; but this number has been ex ceeded by the steamers, which reached the large number of 10,5:3,3, heving an aggregate tonnage of not less than 1,03;,982 tons. One of the great advantages of this establishment will be that Scotch houses can negotiate their foreign bills through the medium of this establishment, this department being one of the most profitable in banking business. The directors have succeeded in completing arrange talents for the purchase of the well-known, established, and profitable business of Messrs. D. Nathan and 'Co., of Cornhill, London, bullion and exchange hankers (who take a large responsibility in the company), upon such terms and conditions as will be satisfactory to the shareholders, the paymentof the purchase money being made entirely is shares of the company. Arrangements have also been made for the transfer, upon equally favour able terms, of the business of N. Monteaux et File, Palais Royal, Paris, bullion and exchange bankers, long known as the oldest and most extensive establishment of the kind in France, and now carried on by Victor Monteaux, their successor, who will retain a considerable share interest in the company. The contracts for the transfers of the above list lie at the office of the solicitors for inspection. These arrangements will constitute a nucleus, and enable the directors at once to commence operations, as they enter upon a valuable connection of many years' standing, and embracing a very large number of foreign correspondents. The objects proposed to be effected by the company are 1. To receive money at ca)l or on deposit for fixed terms, and the ordinary business of bankers. 2. To grant temporary or permanent loans on approved public securities or private undertakings of undoubted merit and known solidity. 3. To mako advances on merchandise and dock and other warrants, on title deeds of property in possession or rever sion for any temporary purpose, on contracts for carrying out or the finishing of works, or any othe r secur iti es where their safety i s unquestionable and the benefit to the com pany sufficiently advantageous. 4. The purchase and sale of the precious metals in all their forms. The company will be enabled by its facilities and connexions, to import and export bullion, and to deal in foreign coins and bank notes on an extensive scale. 5. By means of the Paris branch it is proposed to un dertake the shipment of silver to the East via Marseilles, which can be done at a considerable saving of expense and time. 6. The business transacted by the issue of small bills and letters of credit for the convenience of travellers and emi grants is incredible. Remittances from America to Ireland alone amount to several millions sterling per annum. By aTording the same facilities to the English, German, and French population of America it is confidently anticipated that most profitable business can be done. 7. To negotiate approved foreign or inland bills, to trans mit funds in specie and in bills or otherwise, to any foreign State, and to arrange purchases or sales of any British or foreign securities at home or abroad. 8. To cash coupons, and to realise or undertake the management of the dividends on loan or other securities. Application for shares to be made to the secretary, at the temporary offices of the company or the brokers.

(From the Times Special Correspondent lately at the Danish Head-quarters.) 10. General 'Mister left CCoOpPenEhNangAeGnENon, May 10. It was said he was only going to Assens, in Funen ; but I have reason to belivve that his further destination is Frederickshaven, in the north of Jutland, whither three regiments were to accom. pany or to follow him. General Waster was, Ojit you may remember, in command at Frederickstadt, on the Eider, at the outbreak of the war in Schles wig, and when the abandonment of the Dannewerke was resolved upon he withdrew his garrison from the stronghold which was committed to his care, and effected his retreat with a skiil and in an order that was highly commended at the time. Subse. quently Wilster was sent to Fredericia, in Jutland, and had the supreme management of that fortress till, on the first attack of the Austrians, he was wounded, together with Major Hoffmann, the chief, and two other officers of his staff, and had to resign his command to Col. Lundig. Gen. Wilster has now recovered from his wounds (his less fortu nate chief of the staff, HOffM9nn, died the other day, after long suffering), and upon his effecting the junction of his troops with the division of Hegermann-Lindenkrone it is expected he may achieve something worthy of his well-established renown. A General Wilster is a comparatively young man— not, I should think, above 45 years old ; at any rate in the fall enjoyment of all his faculties. It has been the ill-luck of Denmark in this war to have her troops commanded by men promoted to the highest ranks by mere right of seniority, men who talked in their proclamations of " unsheathing a sword which had hung on their side for 50 years, forget ting that the innocent weapon had done little more for half a century than rattle and clatter on the pa lace stairs at the King's levees, or lie in the corner of a room at the War-office. But here, in Denmark, we had worthy gentlemen who won, perhaps, their epaulettes and girt on their swords at the Peace of 1814 , who, in all probability did good duty in a subordinate capacity at the head of a company or a battalion during the wild desultory war of 1849, and who, after rusting like old blades in their scab bards, have emerged at the head of their country's forces, and have assumed the general direction of a campaign merely on the strength of their having outlived their comrades and superiors. The evil is in the system, and the system is fair and honest in heery, no doubt, though practically the effect is deplorable. We have had here for the last three months generalissimo: - , whom it would have delighted poor Thackeray to describe—padded and painted septuagenarians, but who seldom showed them , selves to their soldiers, and before whose counterfeit ' juvenility their soldiers could scarcsly keep their countenance. Wilster and Lundig, Lessons, and Du Plat, and others who have done good work, had also seen war, and it was upon these and upon subaltern officers on the Staff, such as Eijernholm, Rosen, Sec,, that the real conduct of the campaign eventually devolved. It is high time now, if the war is to pro ceed, that the true leaders should stand forth in the foremost rank, and the dep a rture of Wilster for Jutland is look e d upon hero as a good move , espe cially as he will fi n d in command of one o f Linden krone's brigad es t h at Col. Beck who at t h e h ea d of the 10th (Cop en h agen) Regimentth sat eaar d e t his o b g e r ground so o manfully if raised by thageainBta large verso on the retreat from the D annewerke. What good that small Lindenkrone division, even force of Austrians at reinforcements . with Wilster to forceandooo enecomba tants,rgy may effect(' upon coming into collision with mallpoasnmgand morasses souncehcmananssoetshoeflptvirroops as the Austro-Prussians can bring against it, onderin of m 8 a ' t °C) the r pluck 1 0' of this little Denmark, who, I shall not undertake to discuss. defence of those strongholds on which her chief reli ance rested, does not even in these extremities shrink t t o h ld e , inline after being worsted in from a prolonged conflict in the open field. There se a wi r l e a ,those wild s of Northern Jutland, of th e w i n ding Lumfjorden, l fromt hnu t hgoehf it w various corps moat propitious to the ma nsuvres of an ext e • nstve guerilla warfare. The D an es, it is true, have no light troops of any kind ; an d although they co n t end that the i r f oot so ldi ery are all armed and trained t o d o d u ty as light infan try, still I q ues tion whether their mea are of the pro p e r bulk and build f or b ersag li er i wor k ; an d, might be pos s ibl e to p i c k ou t i n di v id ua l s in some manner answering t h e purpose, I doubt wheth er so ldiers the vast ma jorityhom have h ar dl y b een t h ree mon th s under arms can be fitted for such complicate service as that moment. of fir ailleurs and Z onaves on th e s p ur o f th e E ve nts will solve all these questions if hostilities are to be carried on. Thi s very day the Conference meet in London , and the r esult of their deliberation ought to be either an armistice or a breaking up of all further negotiation. As far as I can make out, m m ea o n re t endeavours than half. the Government here build no very solid hopes on able . beydtvheerswareilele of the mediating Powers. For their own part, they the results attain seem anxious for a cessation of hostilities, and are willing to meet their assured way. I have been positively that the Copen hagen Cabinet is not only ready to give up the blockade of the Baltic ports, but also to accede to the restitution of the captured vessels. On the other hand, they deem themselves entitled to demand the Jutland, and th e complete evacuation of indemnifi cation of the communities and individuals who have been either subjected to contributions, or who have otherwise been despoiled and plundered by the Ger man invaders. Such an arrangement would leave the Austro-Prussians in possession of the whole Schleswig mainland, and fully satisfy the demands put forward by Marshal Wrangel at the outbreak of the war. His intimation to General de Meal was that he, Wrangel, should be allowed to occupy and to administer Schleswig in the namo of the allied Sovereigns. What the Danes would rot give of their own accord has been now taken from them by force of arms, and the parties have it now in their power to treat on the basis originally proposed by the German Powers. I believe that, with a v i ew to remove all subjects of dispute, the Danish Govern ment would consent to the temporary abandonment of Als, Arroe, and other minor isles belonging to the duchy of S c h lesw i g , into the enemy's hands. All these matters are, I have no doubt, being de bated in London, in the bosom of the Conference, at the moment I am wr iting ; but, whatever the results of to day's Eittirg of the Plenipotentiaries may be, I thought is might at some future time, and in the event of the negotiation mis carrying, b e of importaace that the world should know what I firmly believe is the disposition of mind of the Danish Ministers at this moment. There is no hope in their hearts that tho conditions to which As they are now at the end of all possible conces sion on their part, the Danes, in the expectation of a total breakdow❑ of the Conference, are preparing to carry on hostilities to desperation, both by land and sea. Although they have been deplorably late about it, they have now been brought, on hard bought experience, to acknowledge the immense ad vantage of the superior artillery of the Prussians, and are confident that they would soon be able to meet their foe with more equal weapons. That they will have sufficient strength to hold the Little Belt and its narrow sound at Middlefart seems a general conviction here. Were even Wilster and Linden krone to be driven from the extreme point of North Jutland, the Danes think Funen and Zealand could never be involved in the fate of their Cimbrian mainland. A curious and affecting episode I have yet to re cord connected with the sad catastrophe of Dybbol. Among the dead bodies which I saw stretched out on the floor of Ulkebol Church during the last days of my sojourn in Alsen was that of one on the breast of whose coat was pinned a label, with the words, "En unkicendt officeer." It was the corpse of a short, thick-set man, about 40 years of age, with short thick hair, full dark beard, with strong and somewhat harsh features, composed to the sleeplike calmness of death, with his arms stretched along his sides, and the fists tightly closed. That corpse had been for a day in the hands of the Prussians, lost in the crowd of the dead and wounded; it had been rowed across, and had lain for two days in Ulkebol Church, and it still went by the name of the " unknown officer." It was then conveyed to Augustenburg in an open coffin; it has been left exposed in the vestry of the church there, as if in a kind of Morgue, and has been seen by nearly all the military and civilians who are still tarrying on the spot, and the photo graph of the body and of its coffin is now published in the Illustreite Zeitung, in the faint hope that the perfect likeness may lead to its eventual identifica tion. There ought now to be little chance of it. The man was probably a Swede or Bornholmer, one of the several officers who used to drop in upon us as volunteers at the various stages of the cam paign. Ho may have arrived either direct from home, or from Fredericia oil the very eve of the last attack upon Dybbol ; he may have ventured out across the bridges on his first arrival, without either reporting himself at headquarters or attach ing himself to any corps, and had thus none of his superiors or subalterns, no comrade or friend, to re cognise him. His rank itself could not be ascer tained, as the shoulder straps, the only distinction in a Danish uniform, had been torn from his coat ; but the fine cloth allowed no doubt as to his being an officer. Hard was the fate of the un known dead. The most touching obsequies, the most signal honours have been paid both in Copenhagen and all over the kingdom to the remains of officers and privates fallen in this patriotic war. The body of each man has been faithfully consigned to the pious cares of those who had a right to claim it. Hardly one was lowered in the grave without the tears of some one akin to it by blood or loco. Only the poor " unknown" lies still agave ground unclaimed, unhonoured, unwept ; and, perhaps, far away in some distant home in Dalecarlia, in Gothland, far away on the shores of some Swedish bay or Norwegian fiord, some deso late home is plunged into all the pangs of expecta tion, and uncertainty, and may have long to wait before it is reached by the undoubted tidings of its irreparable bereavement. I find that I had greatly under•estiniated the amount of contribution exacted by the Austro.Prus sians in the province of Jutland. The towns alone had been charged 650,000 Prussian thalers ; but the country was made, besides, to pay 25 thalers per the tonde hartkorn (a measure of land, the extent of which 1 cannot at this moment ascertain), There are in Jutland 170,942 of such measures, and the contribution amounts thus to 4,274,390 Prus sian thalers. The Austrians have compelled 2,000 inhabitant ,q of Jutland to work at the demolition of the forts of Fredericia. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, May 13.—The Liverpool cotton market was much quieter yesterday, with easier prices, and, though it had recovered steadiness this morning, the sudden change has not been without some effect here, more especially on the cloth mar ket. Tho excitement reported in this branch of our trade on Tuesday has nearly disappeared. Buyers of India goods have been unwilling all along to fol. low the upward course of the cotton and yarn mar kets, and their operations have been very small. Where purchases have been made sellers have ob tained some advance on the old rates, but nothing like the rates generally demanded. Still, as the stocks of cloth are generally rather light, manufacturers show a good deal of firmness, and being disinclined to take orders at the rates offered by shippers the business effected has been very limited. Cloths suitable for the home trade have gone off rather better, and, though the quantities taken have not been large, sellers report better success in obtaining the ad vanced rates they are demanding. Printing cloths of good quality have been in demand, and fair prices have been obtainable. In shipping yarns we have had a strong market for all kinds, and especially for those made from long-stapled cotton. Some of the spinners of this class of yarns have declined to Bell, while others are asking a considerable advance on the rates of this day week. In the common range of yarns, made from Surat cotton, there is not much change in price, and only a limited business. For home trade yarns, the market has been quiet but firm. Manufacturers having previously supplied their wants have not shown much disposition to purchase tosday ; but spinners are asking the full rates of Tuesday. STOKE , UPON.TRENT, 14th.—The announcement of the suspension of hostilities between the Belli• gerents in Denmark has led to a slightly improved tone in the iron trade of the North Staffordshire district, and a hope is entertained that in the event of the money market becoming easier the demand for iron will very perceptibly increase. All the' works appear to be making full time, or nearly so, and the demand for plates stands at a good average. The earthenware trade continues flourishing, the exports for April to the Federal States alone ex ceeding those of the corresponding month of last year by several thousand crates.

After going half a mile, Belle of the Vale ran on the wrong side of a post, which left Ibex with a clear lead, which he maintained till within three-quarters of a mile from home, where Bradamante took up the running, and was joined by Outpost.

The motion was agreed to unanimously. DIVISION OF THE LAMBETH DISTRICT. Mr. Robert Taylor moved that it be referred to the build ing act and general purposes committee to consider the pro priety of dividing the districts now under charge of Messrs. J. R. Taylor and Parsons. Mr. Savage seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. THE FIRE•ESCAFE BRIGADE. It was resolved that the board should take the escape brigade under their charge in connection with the fire brigade, and recommending that the necessary provision be made in the bill to be introduced into Parliament in relation thereto. The board then adjourned. The Royal Victoria Friendly Society Again, Mr John Lawrence, of the Triangle, Hackney, and Mr. John Monk, of Leslie-street, Mile-end-road, were charged before Mr. Cooke, at Worship -street Police-court, the former on re-examination, for that they being, one the managing secretary and treasurer, and the other being secretary, treasurer, and trustee, of the Royal Victoria Friendly Sick and Assurance Society, did unlawfully with hold the sum of £lB 10s from Margaret Forde, widow of John Forde, that being the amount for which her husband had insured his life in the said society. Mr Bury Hutchinson, as before, appeared for the widow, and Mr Nind, from Mr Abbott's offices, for the first. named defendant. Mr Hutchinson now said that since the last examination he had put himself into communication with Mr Tidd Pratt's office, and found that though an application had been made to dissolve the Royal Victoria Society, its affairs had been found in so unsatisfactory a state that the application had been refused. This society, therefore, which had been stated to have been dissolved, and to have merged into another similar association subsequently established, called the Prince of Wales, was, in fact, still in existence, and both defendants liable for the claimant's demand. On the 31st of January, 1863, Mr Monk was appointed a trustee , and Messrs, Sadler and Hitchcock trustees also, and a very curious fact in connection with Mr Monk was, that an audited account or balance sheet of the affairs of the society having been furnished on its behalf, Mr Monk went down to Mr Tidd Pratt's office, and there told them that it was a fradulent account, as it only repro - sented about half of the members. Under the act govern lug such cases, where trustees had not received any money on behalf of the society, they might not be liable, but those persons who had received the money on behalf of the asso ciation were to be held to be trustees as far as the purposes of the society were concerned. Now, he should be able to show that Mr Monk had received money for the purposes of the society, and that though he had not given new policies on the Prince of Wales Society being started, he had given out fresh cards which professed to be for the latter society, but he contended that, the Victoria being now found to be a still existent association, he and the other defendant were liable to the complainant for its funds. It was clear to him that the defendants had been concerned i n a conspiracy, for Mr. Lawrence, when here on the last occasion, had acknow ledged that these societies were a swindle upon the public, and that he knew them to be so. In July, 1533, it was cloa that the society was utterly insolvent, Mr. Monk claiming to be entitled to a large balance in his favour, and he con tended that the society being so carried on, while there were no funds in existence, rendered the persons conducting it manifestly guilty of a conspiracy. The case was not now so properly before the court as it should be, in consequence of the poverty of the claimant, ;but he could prove here after that this society had been deceiving from 3,000 to 5,000 of these poor people, and that whatever money Mr. Monk had got hold of he had kept for his own private pur poses, and that Mr. Lawrence had done :the same. Mr. Lawrence repudiated having anything to do with the so ciety, and referred him to Mr. Monk as the person answer able, while there were no arbitrators to settle this claim, as they said the society was no longer in existence. Messrs. Monk and Lawrence had received money on behalf of the society, on their own showing, each, as it appeared, having received about £6OO from the members, and that he consi dered amounted to a f rau d , as h e s h ou ld show they had never pl id the money over to the trustees. Mr. Lawrence admitted there was no dispute about the money, but whether the woman was not entitled to it from the asso ciation, and he said she was not. Other evidence having been given, Mr. Cooke said—l have not the least doubt you can re cover from the trustees. I have no doubt that Monk and the other trustees are liable—are responsible for the whole claim, and that all in office at the time of this woman's husband's death aro responsible. The statement made is that the society did not pretend to dissolve till the 21st of November, and the woman's husband died on the 6th, when there was a full force of officers of the society subsisting. I shall dismiss the adjourned Summons against Mr. Lawrence, adjourn the other for a fortnight, and you (Mr. Hutchinson) can in the meantime consider what course you will pursue. Mr. Hutchinson—A person in a much higher position than myself may then take it up, for these poor people have not money to do so. The defendant hero said something, and Mr, Hutchinson said—" Mr. Monk says that they will not get a copper from him." Mr, Monk—No, not anything from me, for I am not liable. Mr. Hutchinson—This is a parallel case to that which ho Treasury took up against three persons before, what hey got 18 months each. The further hearing was then adjourned for a fortnight Vacancies, Promotions, and Appointments in the Civil Service, C. F.

Mr, Dalton brought up the report of the Thames Em bankment committee, submitting the corres:)endence between the chairman of the hoard and the Chance:4'or of the Exchequer, on the subject of a Government guars mtee for the re-payment of the loan for the Thames Emhttnk rnent works, north and south, and the new street to the Mansion House ; together with copy of Treasury mthu3;el on the arrangements for carrying out the proposition. on certain terms. The report, stated that the hoard could. pet raise money at less than per cent., uule:3s TR - meat would guatantme the te-payment of the de'.-t, as they did with the main drainage scheme, in which case th , '!3` could get the loan at 31 per cent. The chairman of the board represented to the Chg.nc , llor of the Exchcquer• those facts, and ho recommended to the Lords of tto Treasury to give the, gr.arentee provide:l the board would introduce into any bill tar carrying out that object, a cower to charge the rarer of the metropolis with any which might arise in the funds 110 w appropriated by pu'iia meet to meet the charge. The right hon. g , .mtletuar k also suggested that the Government might advance the money' out of the surplus moneys received from savings bank and post-office savings banks at a rate of interest of al- per cent. Tho Lords Commissioners of the Treasury had intimated their concurrence in the suggestions made to them by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. By this arrangement they would be able to obtain the money ro quired for the execution of the embankment works and the new street on much more reasonable terms than they could have hoped to negotiate a loan in the money market, and that a saving to the public to the extent of £18,600 per annum, or £334,103 in the whole, would be effected in the payment of interest. The committee recommended that the arrangement proposed by the Treasury be ap proved, and that the solicitor of the board be placed in com munication with the Crown solicitor in reference to the bill to be introduced into Parliament for giving.-effect to the same.
