The success attained by the Credit Mobilier of Paris has recently led to the establishment of somewhat similar insti. ?tuiions i n L on d on, t h e i r i ntroduct i on meeting with marked success, as is evid ence d b y th e l arge dividends paid to their s increase + i ncrease d va l ue of t h e s h ares, suc h king from 100 to 200 per cent. on the amount paid. The fact th4t Scotland, notwithstanding the magnitude and rapid increase 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 similar principles to the Credit Mobilier of Paris, but em • braling a larger field for its operations. The progress of Scotland has been greater during late years ., than that a tt a i ne d b y any other country in the world. 4bta . istic a of shipbuilding on the Clyde alone, during the year 1863, show that 171 vessels, with an aggregate ton nage of 124,000 tons, were launched, 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 •ceedncl by the steamers, which reached the large number vi 10,555, having an aggregate tonnage of not less than 1,03.5,982 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 Lute of the most profitable in banking business. Tho directors have succeeded in completing arrange- Inuits for the purchase of the well-known, established, and profitable business of Messrs. D. Nathan and Co., of Cornhill, London, bullion and exchange bankers (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 nude entirely in 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 oldist 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— I. To receive money at call 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 make 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 other securities where their safety is 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 th e s hi pment o f s il ver to the East via Marseilles, which can be done at a considerable saving of expense and time. G. 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 affording the same facilities to the English, German, and Trench 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 cast coupons, and to realise or und er t a k e th e 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.

As they arc now at the end of all possible conces sion on their part, the D Ines, in the e - ::pactation of a total breakdown 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 bean 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 unkpendt ogiceer." It was the corpse of a short, thick-set man, about 40 years of age, with short thick hair, fall 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 tile military and civilians who arc 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. He may have arrived either direct from home, or from Fredericia on 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 head-quarters 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 love. Only the poor " unknown" lies still above ground unclaimed, unlionotired, 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 dean 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 underestimated the amount of contribution exacted by the Austro-Prus sians in the province of Jutland. The towns alone had been charged 050,000 Prussian thalers; but the country was made, besides, to pay 25thalers 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, awl the contribution amounts thus to 4,274,300 Prus sian thalers. The Austrians have compelled 2,000 inhabitants of Jutland to work at the demolition of the forts of Fredericia. STATE OF TRADE, ~~ 7 1 -g- , .

The excitament reported in this branch of our trade on Tuesday has nearly disappeared. Mayers 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 sell, 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 today; 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. Jemmy Grimshaw waited on Outpost to the half distance, where he came away and won easily by two lengths. The other two did not pass the post.

COPENHAGEN, May 10. General Wilater left Copenhagen on Saturday. It was said he was only going to Assens, in Funen ; but I have reason to believe that his further destination is Frederiokely - ,ven, in the north of Jutland, whither three regiments were to accom• parry or to follow him. General Wilater was, as 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 skid 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 Coi. Lundig. Gen. Wilster has now recovered from his wounds (his less fortu nate chief of the staff, Hoffmann, died the other day, after long suffering), and upon his effecting the junction of his troops with the division of llegermann-Li n d en krone it is ex p ecte d h e ma y achieve something worthy of his well-established renown. General Wilster is a comparatively young man — not, I should think, above 45 years old ; at any rate in the full enjoyment of all his faculties. It has been troops commanded by men promoted to the highest the ill-luck of Denmark in this war to have her 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 theory, no doubt, though practically the effect is deplorable. Woo 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 scarcely keep their countenance. Wilster and Lundig, Lessons, and Du Plat, and others who have done good work, had elso seen war, and it wa s upon t h ese an d upon sub a lt ern officers on the Staff, suc h as S t i ern h o l m , 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 departure of Wilster for Jutland is looked upon here as a good move, espe cially as he will find in comma nd of one of Linden krone's brigad es th at Col. Beck who a t th e h ea d o f the 10th (Copenhagen) Regiment strood his ground BO manfully against a largo force of Austrians at 0 verso on th e re t reat from the Dannewerke. What good th a t small Lindenkrone di v i s i on , even if raised by the reinforcements that are to be sent with Wilster to a force of 8,000 or 10,000 comba tants, may effect upon coming into collision with such masses of troops as the Austro-Pruesians can bring against it, I shall not undertake to discuss. One cannot help wondering at the pluck and energy of this little Denmark, who, after being worsted in defence of those strongholds on which her chief reli ance rested, does not even in these extremities shrink f ro m a prolonged conflict in the open field. There are, I am told, in those wilds of Northern Jutland, all along the line of the winding Lumfjorden, swa mps and morasses m o st propitious to the ma noeuvres of an extensive guerilla warfare. The question have no light troops of any kind ; o n an d although they Contend that their foot soldiery ar e all armed and trained to do duty as light infan try,Ban Danes, it still true,t Iq t u whether their men are of the proper bulk and build for bersaglieri work ; and, although it might be Possible to pick out individuals from the various corps in some manner answering the purpose, I doubt whether soldiers the vast ma jority of whom have hardly been three months under arms can be fitted for such complicate service as that of tiro lleurs and Zouaves on the spur of the moment. Events will solve all these questions if hostilities are to be carried on. This very day the Conference meet in London, and the result of their deliberation ought to be e ither an armistice or a breaking up of all further negotiation. As far as I can make out, ere build n o very so lid h opes on the Government h the results attainable by the well -meant endeavours of the mediating Powers. For their own part, they seem anxious f or a cessation of hostiliti es , an d are willing to meet t h e ir adversaries more than half way. I have been pos itively assur e d t h at the Copen hagen Cabinet is not only ready to g i ve up th e blockade of th e Baltic ports, but also to accede to the restitution of the captured vessels. O n the other hand, they deem themselves entitled to demand the complete evacuation o f Jutland, a n d t h e indemnifi cation of the commun i ties and individ ua l s w h o have bean either subjected to contribution s , or w h o have otherwise been despoil e d and plundered b y t h e Ger an arrangement wou ld l eave man invaders. Such p the AustrosPrussians in possession of the w h o l e Schleswig mainland, a nd fully satisfy th e d emands put forward by Marshel Wrangel at the o u tb rea k of the war. His intimation to General de Meza was that he, Wrangel, should be allowed to occupy and to administer Schleswig in the name of the allied Sovereigns. What t he Danes would no t g i ve of their own accord has been now taken from them by force of arms, and the parties have it n ow i n t h e i r power to treat on the basis originally proposed by the German Powers. I believe that, with a v i ew to dispute, the Dani s h Govern remove all subjects of ment would consent to the temporary abandonment of Als, Arroe, and other minor isles belonging to the duchy of Schleswig, 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 writing ; but, whatever the results of to day's sitting of the Plenipotentiaries may be, I thought it might at some future time, and in the event of the negotiation mis carrying, be of importance 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 the conditions to which k i ~/~~ <~~~'t--c~< CJs /-'z - METROPOLITAN BOARD OP won Alls. The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan ,Board of Works was held yesterday, at their oftioes, Spring- Gardens ; Mr. John Thwaites in the chair. The cash statement showed that the balances in the hands of the treasurer were, cn current accounts, £162,079 12s. Bd. ; on deposit accounts, x`63,300; and Government securities, £98,306 7s. 2d. ( • r , THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. Mr. Dalton brought up the report of the Thamee Em bankment committee, submitting the correspondence between the chairman of the board and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the subject of a Government guarantee for the re-payment of the loan for the Thames Embank ment works, north and south, and the new street to the Mansion House ; together with copy of Treasury minute on the arrangements for carrying out the proposition on certain terms. The report stated that the board could not raise money at less than 41 per cent , unless the Govern ment would guazantee the re-payment of the del, t, as they did with the main drainage scheme, in which case they could get the loan at 3 per cent. The chairman of the board represented to the Chancellor of the Exchequee those facts, and be recommended to the Lords of the , Treasury to give the guarantee provided the board would introduce into any bill for carrying out that object a power to charge the rates of the metropolis with any deficiency which might arise in the funds now appropriated by parlia ment to meet the eh age. The right lion. gentleman ale° suggested that the Government might advance the money out of the surplus moneys received from savings banks and post-office savings banks at a rate of interest of 31 per cent. The 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 re 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 £334,100 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. 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. It. Taylor and Parsons. Mr. Savage seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. THE FIRE•ESCAPE BRIGADE. • It was resolved that the board should take tho 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 hoard 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 108 from Margaret Forde, widow of John Ford; 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 tug 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 hal 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, 1803, it was elm 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 ho 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 fraud, as he should show they had never pk 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 assoft dation, 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 are 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 here 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• they got 18 months each.
