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
neutral Powers. The Austro-Pruesians, 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 Veile and the surrounding country, where
the Austrians have been for months strongly in-
trenching themselves, as if for a prolonged oceupa-
Lion.

The latter made play in the centre of the course, at-

Lady di Vergy, well up. They ran thus to the distance,
where Lady di Vergy took up the running, and Overture
closed with her, and, after being ridden home, the favourite

Sister to Gillie made play, after two false starts, followed
at an interval of two lengths by Lovelace, Quiz going on
third, the Valleda colt, Milford, Swift, and Teesdale on
the far side being next, whilst Gomera, St. Eulalie, and
William the Fourth came on nearly in a line on the left.
At the distance Sister to Gillie dropped away, and Swift in
the centre, Lovelace on the left, and the Valleda colt on the
right came on together, and to these three the race was left,
and Swift maintaining the front position to the end won by
half a length; a length separated the second and third;
Teesdale was a good fourth, and Sister to Gillio and Quiz,
close together, finished four lengths in rear of Teesdale.

As they are now at the end of all possible conces-
sion on their part, the Danes, in the expectation 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 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' io 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 unkjeendt officeer." 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 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
as 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
ant 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 flue 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

Betting-5 to 4on Practitioner, 2to 1 agst Fiction col
5 to 1 agst Vision.
The latter made play, followed by Practitioner and Hand-
maid side by side to the distance, where Practitioner took
a slight lead, and upon the Fiction colt dropping back,
Vision came up, and was only beaten by a head ; two
lengths separated the second and third.
The winner was purchased by Lord Westmoreland for

Betting-9 to 4on Bradamante, 4to 1 agst Belle of the
Vale, 7 to 1 agst Ibex, 10 to 1 agst Outpost.
Ibex and Belle of the Vale jumped away slightly in front
of Bradamante, Outpost being several lengths in the rear.
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.

Mr J. B. Starky's Vera Cruz, Sst 61b (Cowley) 4
The jockeys having been ordered to the post (without
cantering in front of the Stand) by Mr. Manning, they
were du'y started, but before the judge took his station in
the box, the Katie Stewart colt passed the post first, Dr.
Swishtail coming in second, the Homily filly third, and Vera
Cruz last. Afterwards the horses were ordered to tun again,
the original bets standing, and the quartette again went to
the post. The betting prior to the non. start was 6 to 4 each
against the Katie Stewart colt and Dr. Swishtail, and in
the final race 5 to 1 was laid on the Katie Stewart filly, who
made all the running and won easily by two lengths; a
similar distance separated the second and third ; Vera Cruz
was beaten off.
The winner was bought by Mr W. W. Baker for 150

Sea King made play, followed alternately by Tippler and

and Tippler made a race with Sea King, whom, however,
he never reached, and the Dake's horse coming away op-
posite the enclosure won by six lengths. Claxton walked

the grave without the tears of some ono akin to it
by blood or love. Only the poor " unknown" lies
still ab3ve 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 cord, 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 tiditsgs of its
irreparable bereavement.

I find that I had greatly under.estin2ated the
amount of contribution exacted by the Austro-Prus-
slang in the province of Jutland. The towns alone
nad 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 4,274,300 Prus-
sian thalers.

The Austrians have compelled 2,000 inhabitants
of Jutland to work at the demolition of th© forts of
Fredericis.

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. The excitement reported in this branch of our
trade on Tuesday has nearly disappeared. Buyers
of India goods have been unwilling all along to fel.
lew 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
irange
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 to.day ; but spinners are asking the full
rates of Tuesday.
STOKE•IIPON-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.

Tilt made play till opposite the enclosure, where Ford-
ham came with a rush, and won, after a find race, by a
head, three lengths separated the second and third,

HENRY DUNBAR.—The publishers state that the
whole of the first edition of this new novel, by the
author
te of '`Lady Andley's Secret," has been completely
aus
on the first day of publication ; and that a second
exhausted
edition is in the press, and will be ready on Monday next.
Admirers of Miss Braddon's prolific pen have much cause to
rejoice in her popularity, the growth of which is now made
more manifest than ever by the simultaneous issue of her
writings in the French, German, and English languages.
It is understood that Mr. Mudie and the leading library
companies have taken unprecedentedly large numbers of
,6 Henry Dunbar," the public inquiry for early copies of
which has had no parallel amongst recent works of fiction.

METROPOLITAN BOARD 0 17011 EV It.
The ordinary weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Bail S
of Works was held yesterday, at their offices, 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, £63,300; and on
Government securities, £98,306 75. 2d.
THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.
Mr, Dalton brought up the report of the Thames Em-
bankment committee, submitting the correspondence
between the chairman of the hoard and the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, on the subject of a Government guarantee
for the re-payment of the loan for the Thames Embank-
mentu'ork
arrangements'
and south, y

the
ow proposition
street to theon
on Mansion House ;
fortogether with copy of Treasury- minute
t he
certain terms. The report stated that the board could not
raise money at less than 41 per cent., unless the Govern.
meat would guarantee the re-payment of the debt, as they
did with the main drainage scheme,
in which case they
could get the loan at 34 per cent. The chairman of the
board represented to the Chancellor of the Exche qu,r
those facts, and he recommended to the T ords of the
Treasury to give the guarantee provided the board would
introduce into any bill for carrying out that object a Lower
to charge the rates the rnetrepe;is with any deficiency
which might arise in the funds new appropriated by parlia-
ment to meet the ch trge. The right hon. gentleman also
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 34 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 £334,103 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.

( 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. 11. 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 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 lOs 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. Oa 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
tbem that it was a fradulent account, as it only repre-
sented
about half of the members. Under the act govern-
gig 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 policing
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-
ledgerl that these societies were a swindle upin the public,
and that he knew them to be so. In July, 18t33, it was den
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 chat 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 pt id the money over to the trustees. Mr. Lawrence
admitted there was no dispute about the money, but

entitledt to it from the ease-
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 Gth, 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, INlonk says that they will not got a copper frora
him,"

Mr, Monk—No, not anything from me, for I am not
iable

Mr. Hutchinson—This is a parallel case to that which
the Treasury took up against three persons before, When
they got 18 months each.
The further hearing was then adjourned for a fortnight
