of Funen. Not having brought to when summoned,
she was fired at, and it is said two shots struck her.
She was taken into Bogense.
Persons who were at Fredericia yesterday say
that they there saw the Dunes busily engaged in
armies their batteries near Middlefahrt. Informa-
tion from a very reliable source has reached me to
the effect that the whole effective force cf
infantry does not exceed 22,000 men, There may
be more on paper, bat considerable deductions must
be made for the hospitals. To the above number
we must add cavalry, artillery, engineers, &e., but
the total would still bo considerably under 30,000
men. With these Funen must be garrisoned—and
the whole of them would not be too many to resist
an attack on the scale on which the allies would
make it—and some provision must be made for
Copenhagen, where it is believed, at least by the
Germans, that the Government cannot safely dis-
pense with the presence of a respectable armed force.
It is difficult to suppose that any large body can
have been left in North Jutland, exposed to the al-
most certainty of fresh disaster and diminution.

I see that the Danish papers talk of some extra-
ordinarily long bridges, put together in a creek on
the Sundewitt side of Alsen Sund, and which, after
the first Prussians had been landed from boats on
the morning of the 29th ult., were suddenly shot, so
to speak, across the Sound, propelled, it would seem,
by a couple of locomotives (of what nature is not
stated), and that so the channel was in a moment
bridged, and thousands of Prussians poured over,
rendering resistance utterly hopeless on the part of
the outnumbered Danes. Oat of the Arabian Nights
anything so marvellous was never heard of, Consi-
dering that the narrowest:part of the Sound is seve-
ral hundred yards broad(except in the neighbourhood
of Sonderborg, where it is not pretended that the
crossing took place) it must have been a most strik-
ing spectacle to see this bridge, a quarter of a mile
or more in length, suddenly thrusting its nose, like
the snout of some giant alligator, out of an opening
in the bank, darting straight across and stopping
only when run to ground against the Alsen shore.
The myth appeals pleasingly to the imagination,
and I regret to dissipate it by assuring you again
that the passage was effected entirely by boats pro-
pelled by oars. No supernatural means are requi-
site to effect the surprise of such drowsy watchers
as the Danes, on that and other occasions, suffi-
ciently showed themselves to be.

Won by a neck ; three lengths between second and third;
a bad fourth. The two last did not pass the post.
