they are willing to accede, and which may seem most
reasonable to all disinterested parties, will be made
acceptable to Prussia and Austria, unless they be
actually enforced by the stout resolution of the
❑eutral Powers. The Austro-Prussians, the Danes
think, will never consent to withdraw from all Jut-
land; they will not give up Fredericia, the bastions
of which they are actively demolishing; they will not
abandon Veils and the surrounding coantry, where
the Austrians have been for months strongly in-
trenching themselves, as if for a prolonged occupa-
tion.

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.

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. 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.
