DENMARK,

(From the Times Special Correspondent,)
COPENHAGEN, June 21.
Yesterday was a day of great anxiety for Copena
hagen, a day which might have turned out more
fatal for Denmark than either the abandonment of
the Dannewerk or the fall of Dybbol.
You are aware that on Wednesday last the
Danish Minister at the Court of St. Petersburg,
Baron Otto von Plessen, a Holsteiner, and the
brother of one of the great leaders of the Holstein
Ritterschaft in the present antiaDanish movement ,
arrived somewhat unexpectedly at Copenhagen,
and was said to be the bearer of a Russian de-
spatch, intimating the Czar's resolution to
take up the cause of Denmark, and to oppose
any measure that could be adopted by the
London Conference in opposition to the Treaty of
1852 and to the integrity of the Danish Monarchy.
The Russian note was afterwards said to have
reached Copenhagen, not from St. Petersburg,
but from London, and to bear the signature not of
Prince Gortschakoff, but of Baron Brunnow. From
whatever channel it may have been transmitted,
this important document, it was said, was laid by
the King before the Council of Ministers on the
following day, Thursday. It is added that
the King advised that a favourable ear should
be given to the Russian proposal; that the Minis-
ters, more or less unanimously, declared that
a personal union of the Duchies with the Danish
provinces, by submitting Schleswig as well as Hol-
stein to the Protectorate of the German Confes
deracy, would strike a deathblow to the real in-
dependence of Denmark ; that it would establish
in the country a dualism which would render any
Government a sheer impossibility; but that, were
it even practicable or advisable, such a step would
be so unpopular with the Danes that no Mir'
could be found willing to append his narr
treaty. For their own part, the to the
pree:„l Afi„latcn,
declared that upon the King entertaining such
'de-
signs they could not remain i office for a moment.
The King dismissed b'as Ministers for that day,
adjourning the discueaton to the ensuing Monday
(yesterday). Yeaierday, at 11 a.m., Bishop Moored
saw his Majesty, and again signified his own and his
colleagues' determination to resign sooner than
even enter into any deliberation as to the Russian
note. The resignation of the Ministers was ac-
cepted, and the King meditated the formation of
a new Cabinet, of which the following gentle-
men were to be the chief members :—Count
Sponnek, who was to be recalled from Greece ;
M. Bluhme, who was for some time at the head of
the Government, and who is looked upon as the
leader of the Conservative party ; and Baron von
Plessen, the Danish Minister at St. Petersburg,
bearer of the Russian despatch. At 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, however, the King recalled M. Mon-
red, and announced that he had changed his mind,
and was ready to reject the Russian proposal.
Such were the rumours that were circulated yes-
terday about Copenhagen, and which, in the main,
found their utterance in a most minute and circum.
stantial narrative in the Dagblad, the organ of the
Eider-Dane, or ultra-national party. Both that
paper and the Fadreland, the journal of the Scandi-
navian sympathisers, commented in no measured
terms upon the news thus brought to light, and made
the most violent appeal to the most popularpassions.
In the evening the Berlanske Tidende, the semi-
official paper of the Government, flatly denied the
whole transaction and stigmatised it as a gross fa Sri.
cation. There had never been a word said a gout the
retirement of the Ministers, no diss'ant whatever
between the King and his Council no scheme of a
personal union, no Russian no :e to that effect.
The friends of the Dagb!zd and Fadre/anddo not
give up the point. They assert that What they
stated was the st,ictest truth; that the scheme
was really entertained by the Court in opposition
to the Cabinet, and that it was only abandoned
when tte King became aware of the danger to which
his *resolution could not fail to give rise. Had
aot the Berlinske Tidende to clearly signified that
the Ministerial crisis had passed, nothing, they say,
would have prevented Copenhagen from becoming
the scene of a revolutionary outbreak last evening.
The Danes are apt to lose all temper on the mere
mention of a " Copenhagen mob;" but they aver
that, had the King persevered in his course, the
whole nation would have risen like one man. As it
was, they congratulate themselves that the mere
threat brought the King to his senses, and that in
this instance " Le peuple a vaincu son Roi."
To an impartial and unconcerned stranger all
this is inexpressibly painful. In the first place, it
is evident that, no matter who the liar may be, an
abominable lie was yesterday spoken and written in
Denmark; and it is hard for any one who hap made
himself a voucher for the veracity as well as many
other moral qualities of the Danish people, to have
to acknowledge that under the influence of strong
political animosity the Danes are as apt to prevari-
cate as their neighbours.
In the second place, it is not without regret that
one can see even a party of the Danish people ex-
press so unfavourable an opinion of their Sovereign.
I can ce.ndidly state that many upright and sound-
mitrled persons here do the fullest justice to the
private virtues of the King and the Royal family;
that they firmly believe his Majesty to be strongly
influenced by the best wishes for the welfare of his
country, and deem him utterly incapable of acting
otherwise than in the way that Ile deems most
conducive to its real inte:,eats. That the
r,ed King most of the
King is a thoronghly Danes at the present r.aoment firmly hold. But were
it otherwise, coui.d' the worst faults be imputed to
him, the Dares ought to be strongly impressed with
the of that saying—" Que Dieu nous en-
"7,..1 de bons rois, car, quand on les a, it faut les
garder tels galls sont." It is the great curse of
nations when they withdraw from a contest in
which they have unskilfully or unsuccessfully
fought, to aggravate the calamities of a foreign war
by the excesses of a civil strife. I was and am still
disposed to hope for better things from Denmark.
"To conquer one's King" is always a poor boast
for the most violent parties. The safety of the
Danish monarchy can only rest on the most perfect
and cordial accord between the throne and the
people.
In the third place, admitting for a moment that
Russia had actually proposed to save Denmark by
a scheme of a personal union, and that the King had
really entertained such a proposal, it may be lawful
to question whether his Majesty thereby may not
have contemplated doing the very best that can,
under circumstances, be contrived for the welfare of
Denmark. The London Conference will soon come
to the end of its labours, and within four or five
days the Dano-German question may have to be
once more deferred to the arbitrament of the sword.
All that the Conference had been able to achieve
for Denmark was a vague project by which about
two-thirds of its territory were to be ceded to the
foreign aggressor. Even the scheme for a parti-
tion 9f Schleswig foundered against the difficulties
to trace a line of demarcation which might prove
satisfactory to either party. Had even the line
been fixed in obedience to the wishes of the Danish
Plenipotentiaries, had even such a line secured
for Denmark the Schlei, the Dannewerke, the
Treene, and the Eider, it is impossible not to see
that such an arrangement would have accomplished
the political, financial, commercial, and naval ruin
of this kingdom. The Danes, the Eider Danes at
least, were only anxious about their nationality,
but although a man lives not by bread alone, he
lives by bread to a great extent, aed the construe.

will not say with the whole or part of Schleswig,
Holstein—they ought to think twice
andbut eventisr with
thrice about it, and it is natural that such an
arrangement should cause serious apprehensions to
foreign Powers.

The Danes hold now a very firm belief that they
showed great wisdom in accepting the proposed par-
tition cf Schleswig, because they were sure that no
rational line of frontier would ever satisfy the Ger-
mans : that the latter would tb,us place them•
selves altogether in the wrong, and that the
mediating Powers, especially England, would
be bound to enter the field in the Danes' behalf
upon the inevitable outbreak or new

That on the 26th inst. England and Denmark will
be seen fighting side by aide is a matter about which
the Eider Danes profess to entertain no doubt
whatever.

I may have my own opinion about that matter,
and shall certainly not peculate as to what might
turn out for the benefit of the Danes, were they in
the end to succeed in involving all Europe in their
quarrel with their German neighbours; but of a
certainty, if their hones were again to be disap-
pointed, and if they were once more to find them-
selves alone in the struggle, they may have oc-
casion to regret that the alleged proposal of
Russia for a personal union should be allowed
to fall to the ground, or that the King, if
really so disposed, had it not in his power
to carry on a negotiation on such terms. The
safety of Denmark, since 1848, has been rested
upon the chances of a thorough conquest of Hol-
stein. The Danes thought they could only repel
the tide of invading Germanism by so nationalising
Schleswig that the latter Duchy might be used to
hold the former in check and under subjection.
Without Holstein it is hardly possible to hold
Schleswig ; and without the latter, Denmark hers
self, we are told, can hardly stand. It remains
to be seen whether both territories can be saved
for Denmark, either upon the terms of a good
understanding and alliance with Germany, or in
sheer despite and defiance of Germany. I bel;
either combination may be attempted w .-eve
either by introducing the whole success,

Society for the Encouragement of Arts,
Manufactures, and Commerce.

The annual meeting of this society took place yesterday,
at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of presenting prises to
the successful candidates in the several departments of en-
terprise indicated by the comprehensive title of the society.
Three o'clock was the time appointed for commencing the
proceedings, but as it was announced that hie Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales, president of the society, would
take the chair, the largest room at Willie's was filled an
hour before the specified time.
Among those on the platform we observed the Archbishop
of York, the Marquis of Salisbury, Sir F. Crossley, Bart.,
ALP., Sir J. Paxton, M.P., Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Sir C.
W. Dilke, Bart., Admiral Belcher, Lieut-General Knollys,
and Mr Wm, Hawes, one of the vice-presidents of the
society.
At three o'clock precisely the Prince of Wales, with the
punctuality so characteristic of the reigning family, ap-
peared on the platform, and was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers, which his Royal Highness gratefully acknowledged.
The Prince having taken the chair,
Mr HAWES said it devolved on him, by virtue of the office
he held as chairman of the council, to state the object of the
meeting, which was honoured by the presence of his Royal
Highness and so large a number of the members of the so-
defy, For about 100 years the society had endeavoured to
remunerate by medals and other tokens of honour those who
had endeavoured to advance science,:arts, and commerce.
The study of the polite arta had been encouraged among the
higher classes of society ; and iee the performance of that
agreeable duty, other societieLe having
stepped in, this to ociety
was now devoting its et
..cention to the promotion of the same
objects among tb other classes. The society had endea-
ducts
voured to re•
*e -mote commerce by collecting all kinds of pro-
A_
_tom various quarters of the globe. In arts, science,
rd
manufactures distinguished individuals would receive
prizes which would do credit to themselves and the country,
He would now ask the Archbishop of York to introduce
those who had during the past year taken prizes in the edu-
cational department.
The Archbishop of YORK said there were 1,100 candidates
last year, and as the competition was open to all corners the
greater honour was due to the successful candidates. Much
of the success of the society was due to the fostering care
and unvarying interest taken in it by the late Prince Con-
sort. (Cheers.) He had given a prize to the person who
for the last three years bad taken the largest number of
first class certificates.
About 34 young gentlemen were then introduced to the
Prince of Wales, and received prizes from him for profi-
ciency, respectively, in arithmetic, book-keeping, algebra,
chemistry, mensuration, geometry, animal physiology, conic
sections, practical mechanics, magnetism, electricity, astro-
nomy, botany, agriculture, miningand metallurgy, domestic
economy, geography, English history, logic and mental
science, English literature, French, German, freehand
drawing, geometrical drawing and music.
The Prince Consort's prize of 25 guines for having, in
the present and three preceding years, obtained the largest
number of first class certificates was awarded to Mr. J.
Allan. His successful studies comprise logic, English
history, English literature, arithmetic, book-keeping, geo-
graphy, magnetian, electricity, domestic economy, and eni-
mal physiology, and in each he took a first class certificate.
The Marquis of SALISBURY then introduced John Birch,
Eeq., architect, wlo was presented with £25 and the society's
silver medal, for :he best design for a labourer's cottage.
There were 107 ccmpetitors for this prize.
The Swiney Prize, consisting of a silver cup of the value
of £lOO, with gold coin in it to the same amount, awarded
every fifth year, pursuant to the will of the late Dr Swiney,
to the author of the best published treatise on jurisprudence,
was awarded tc Henry Sumner Maine, LL.D. (late pro-
fessor of civil law in the University of Cambridge, and now
member of the Legislative Council of India), for his work
on Ancient Law. The prize, owing to Mr Maine's absence,
was presented to his brother.
The winners of the Art Workmanship Prizes were next
presented. They were 21in number, and their performances
ranged over a great variety of ornamental work, modelling
in metals, repousse work, carving in ivory, chasing, paint-
ing, &e. They were presented by Sir F. Crossley, M.P.
The society's medal for the discovery of and bringing
under the notice of the Society of Arts, the first imported
a substitute for gutta percha, was presented to Wm. Walker,
Eeq., Colonial Secretary of British Guiana, who was intro-
duced by Mr H. Marsh ; and Sir Wm. Holmes, of British
specimens of the balata, a gum from the Sapota MulleH, as
Guiana, received a similar reward for the introduction into

the commerce of this country of the balata as a substitute
for gutta percha.

Mr HAWES said they had now to present the Albert gold
medal to a gentleman who had done more to promote arts,
manufactures, and commerce than any man of the present
day. The medal he had to place in the hands of his Royal
Highness would commemorate not only the great services
rendered to the public by the gentleman to whom it would
be presented, bnt the benefits conferred on the society by the
patronage of the Prince Consort. It was a gold medal
executed by Mr Wyon, and the first prize of the kind. He
was happy to state that it would be given to Sir Rowland
Hill, the author of postal reform. (Cheers.) His system
combined three things—penny postage, prepayment, and the
charge by weight. It Was a great social and political reform,
of which he had the undivided honour. The number of
letters conveyed by post before his system was 75,000,000,
now it was 700,000,000. The weight of letters had increased
from 700 tons to 5,000 tons, and the number of books sent
by post had increased from 5,000 to 12,000,000 annually.
The number of letters passing through the post-office in
Manchester alone exceeded that of the whole empire of Rus-
sia. (Cheers.) 34 British colonies, and 45 foreign states
had adopted Sir R. Hill's system, and he (Mr Hawes) be-
lieved that that system would be a great instrument in
uniting the nations of the earth in the bonds of friendship.
(Hear, hear.)
Sir R. Hill then came forward, and
The Prince of WALES, in the most gracious manner, said
he had great pleasure in presenting this prize to so distin-
guished a person, The Queen's portrait, which the society
also intended to present to Sir Rowland Hill, was not yet
completed, but when finished it would be sent to him.
Sir R. HILL said be wished to express his thanks for the
high honour conferred on him by the award of the society's
medal. Under any circumstances this would confer a high
distinction, and demand grateful recognition; but that dis-
tinction was increased by the consideration that the medal
awarded was the first that had been presented by his Royal
Highness. This medal was precious to him elf (Sir H. Hill)
and would be treasured by his family, and in their name as
well as his own he begged to tender to his Royal Highness
and the council of the society his most respectful and heart-
felt thanks. (Cheers.)
Lord H. LENNox having briefly proposed a vote of thank s
to the Prince of Wales for occupying
the chair,
His ROYAL HIGHNESS, who was loudly applauded on
rising, said—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, it would be
unbecoming in me, after what has fallen from my noble
friend, not to say a fcw words in the way of thanking you.
When asked to accept the office of President of this society
I felt a difficulty, knowing that I should be an unworthy
successor of one whose greet object was to encourage arts,
manufactures, and commerce. It feel it, however, my duty
to do my best, and I shall fie' great gratification in being
present on any occasion where my presence can ;in any way
contribute to the advantage of the public. (Loud cheers )
I do not think it necessary to say more than wish prosperity
to the society. (Cheers.)
The proceedings then terminated, and the Prince was
loudly cheered as he retired.

A slight delay occurred at the post in consequence of the

Immediately the flag was lowered Damascus and Erythia
slipped their horses and came on with a commanding lead of
the Colonist colt and Hawkshaw into the bottom, where the
two favourites were left to finish the race. Damascus, who
always had the best of it, won in a canter by a length; a

Siberia to insure a pace rushed to the front and came on
with a slight lead, followed on the lower side by Sydmon-
ton and Cordelia, the favourite lying in the centre, with
Tennyson, Kcoaig, Shrapnell, and Aline on the upper
ground. They retained their position to the distance, where
the two leaders gave way, and the running was taken up by
Tennyson, who, however, was headed in a few strides by
Gardevisure, followed as they neared the enclosure by
Koenig,. From this point the race was reduced to the three,
the favourite having slightly the best of it to the stewards'
stand, where Fordham made his effort, but failed to got up,
and was beaten, after a fine finish, by a head, Koenig defeat-
ing Tennyson by four lengths for second—Cordelia was
fourth, and Shrapnell fifth. The others, who were pulling

federate, lying in the centre, made running, with Soap-
stone, Dolphin, and Lady Clifden on his right, and Creole
and Tyke lying up. As they descended the hill into the
bottom, Lady Clifden appeared to have somewhat the
best of it; but on reaching the distance she was headed
by Soapstone, who made his effort at the Stand, but was
baaten after a show of a fight by half a length; Lady Clif-
den finished a bad third. The others were beaten off some
distance,

post Joco was pulled back, and the favourite was indulged
with the command, which he retained to the enclosure,
where Joco came out and won a fine race by a head. Wel-
beck defeated Tippler by three lengths for second place, and
Trumps was beaten off.
