Although the Danish Plenipotentiaries are now
fully prepared to treat for peace on the basis of
the preliminaries which were signed here on the
Ist inst., it is not likely that the Conferences
will begin until the King of Prussia has taken
his departure. The territorial part of the clues•
tion may soon be settled, but the pecuniary
part of it can hardly fail to lead to prolonged
diecussiune, as the inhabitants of the Duchies
make claims on Denmark which cannot, under
present circumstances, be recognised. In the nee
gotiatioes f. or peace this country will be represented
by Count Rechberg and Baron von Bitzgelbtr.
Baron von Werther and Baron von Richthofen (the
Prussian Minister in Mecklenbnrg) will officiate for
Prussia, and M. von Quaade and Colonel K luffmann
for Denmark. Baron van Scheel-Pless(-n does not
figure here as the representativeof the Elbe Duchies,
bat it is understood that he has been reqnested by
Count Rechberg and M. von Bismark to let them
have the benefit of his opinions on certain matters
of importance to those couetriee. In some of the
North German papers, it has been said that the
Austrian corps d'armee is &bout to evacuate the
Duchies, but I can affirm that the imperial troops
will not be withdrawn anal peace has been con-
cluded. For economical reasons certain gaps in
the ranks of some of the regiments will not now
be filled up. The allied foices are gradually moving
from the north to the South of Schleswig, and they
are going so because they find it difficult to obtain
t:ne necessary supplies in districts which were laid
under contribution soon after the outbreak of the
war. The Prussian garrison in Altona has been re-
inforced, and two battalions of the Line, which were
in the island of Femern, have been removed to
Kiel. Although many soldiers and officers are now
on furlough, the strength of the Prussian corps in
Jutland and Schleswig is still great—in fact, much
greater than is necessary. In Germany it is cur-
rently reported that Austrian and Prussian forces
are about to take possession of the whole of Hol-
stein, but I believe this Government would not like
to see the Federal Corps of Execution elbowed out
of that Duchy.

Yesterday the Emperor of Austria, the King of
Prussia, Count Rechberg, and M. von Bismark
were long closeted together, and it is believed that
matters of high importance to Germany were dis-
cussed. A year ago the Emperor Francis Joseph
sought to reorganise the German Confederation,
with the assistance of the second and third rate
Siates, The attempt failed, because Prussia was at
variance with Austria, but there are indications
that the two peat Powers are now about to act in
concert at Frankfort. It is not probable that the
question of the formation of assemblies of princes
and delegates will be again mooted, as M. von
Bismark and Count Rechberg are no admirers
of Parliamentary institutions; but it is morally
certain that the military constitution of the German
Bund wilt be subjected to a radical reform. It is
said that the Prussian Minister President drew up
a plan of Federal reform while at Gasteie. It is
a positive fact that the reactionary party is
gaining ground here, but I am not inclined
to believe that there is any danger of a
coup dttat. The repeal of tha Constitution of the
4Lo ot March, 1849, was attended with such die-
estrous consequences that the Austrian Government
will hardly again have recoarse to such an extreme
measure. It is very possible that the Reicherath will
be dissolved if it should prove to be contumacious
during the next session, but the representative form
of Government cannot be entirely set aside, as no
f,reign capitalist will be willing to advance money
(o Austria if she should return to her old system.
It being generally felt that the influence ot the King
of Prussia and his Minister is pernicious, both of
them are unpopular here. In general the Viennese
are extremely demonstrative towards the guests of
their Sovereign, but they take very little notice
of King William 1., and none at all of M. von
Bismark. When his Majesty arrived at the rail-
road terminus he was faintly cheered, and the same
tning happens when he enters or leaves the Imperial
Palace at Schonbrunn, This is the first visit of
the Prussian Monarch to Vienna since his eccssioa
to the throne. Frederick William IV., the late
King, was here for the last time in the month of
July, 1857.

On the morning of Sunday, the 21st inst., the
King of Prussia and some of the members of his
suite attended Divine service in the Lutheran
Church in the Dorotheer those, The church being
small and the accommodation scanty, the elders of
the community hardly knew what to do with their
distinguished guests, but the King good-naturedly
helped them ot.t of their difficulties by desiring a
couple of his broad-shouldered adjutants to enter
his pew. In the evening a comedy was performed
in the theatre in Schonbrunn. and between the
second and third acts his Majesty held what is
here called a " circle." After the members of the
Diplomatic Corps and the dignitaries of the Court
had been presented to the King, his Majesty re•
turned to his box in the theatre, where he remained
until the performance was at an end. M. von 1318- I
mark wore the uniform of a major in the Prussian
Landwehr (militia), and M. yen Scheel-Pleseen
the uniform of a Danish chamberlain, with
the Dannenbrog Order. At eight o'clock in the
morning of yesterday the Emperor and the Icing
reviewed 16,000 or 17,000 men on the Schmelz,
and when the imposing military ceremony was at
an end their Majesties drove to the arsenal and
o the military riding school, in which the artil•
,ery went through sundry evolutions, some of
which appeared to afford great satisfaction to the
soldier-king, In the evening there was a grand
cavalcade to the Imperial chateau at Laxenburg,
and boating on the lake, which is in the grounds.
Her Majesty the Empress was not of the party,
lnd it must, therefore, be supposed that she was
afraid of exposure to the night air, which is almost
always damp at Laxenburg.

REPRESENTATION OP NORTH WARWICKSHIRE
We are pleased to hear that whenever a vacancy may occur
in This division of the county of Warwick, the Conservative

candidate will be William Devonport Bromley, Eq. Mr.
Bromley is a man who would do honour to any o nstitueney,
and he wilt in a short time take up his residence at his seat,
Baginton Hall, near this city. As Mr Bromley will receive
the united support of the Conservative party, there is no
doubt of hie, election.—Covait) y Standard.
ACCIDENT AT THE OSTEND STEEPLE-CHASE.—
steeple-chase took place at Ostend a few days back,
in presence of the iiing and Royal Family. A lad belong-
ing to Baron du Mesnil's stables, while riding a horse
named Siendmere, was thrown, and his foot remaining
entangled in the stirrup he was dragged along the ground
for a considerable distance and trampled on. When

taken up he gave little sign of life, and expired almost
immediately after.

END OF THE STRIKE AT THE GRAND SURREY

COMMERCIAL DOCKS,—ThiS affiir, which com-

menced on Monday week, is now at an end. It will be
recollected that the dock porters, sorters, and pilers, of the
Grand Surrey Docks, struck work and went in a body early
in the morning of that day to the Commercial Docks, and
compelled the men at the latter docks to strike also. This
threw nearly 1,000 men of employ, and as they principally
reside in the immediate neighbourhood of the docks the
tradesmen have suffered materially, although so short a
period has elapsed. On Wednesday about 30 gangs of the
men on strike entered the Commercial Docks, and begged
of the superintendent to be taken on, alleging that they had
been misled by the committee, and those who had taken a
lead in the affair. No terms were asked, and none were
offered, beyond the prices previously paid—viz., 6s 8d per
diem to deal porters, and 7s 8d per diem to pilers and sorters
—Which the dock companies expressed their determination
to maintain. On Thursday morning at six o'clock the bulk
of the men on strike presented themselves at the Commercial
Duck entrance, and made an application to the superinten-
dent (Mr Ross) to be taken on. They were at once put to
work. This circumstance being made known to the men of
the Grand Surrey Docks, they also made an application to
the superintendent of that dock (Mr M'Carmon), expressing
regret for their conduct, and before noon tho docks were
plied with men, and the usual busy scene presented itself.
And thus the strike, which has lasted only ten days, is
positively a' an end.

MANCHESTER.—A new bridge across the Irwe',l,
affording another means of communication between
Manchester and Salford, was opened to the public yesterday.
The cost has been defrayed, practically speaking, by the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, tut tee work
has been carried out by the authority and under the direc-
tion of the Saitord Corporation. There are now 10 bridges
used as public thoroughfares between the two boroughs.--

An Unknown Englishman Drowned at

Dieppe.

TO TUE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Yesterday morning the body of an English
tourist was found in the water at the entrances of
Dieppe harbour, and being myself arrested by bsd
weather, while en rouse home from the continent, I
thought it my duty to ascertain the particulars and
to request publicity for the following outline of
them :

I saw the body at the Morgue soon after it had
been stripped, and examined it very carefully. It
was that of a well formed, youngish, slender man,
about sft. 3io. or 4in. in height, about 30 years of
age, and of remarkably black hair and dark come
plexion ; hair short, small moustache, and very large
long pendent whiskers; teeth singularly fine, regu-
lar, and perfect. The clothes were nearly new, and
comprised a black cloth cap lined with black leather,
stamped in bold gilt letters, "Dennis and Co.,
Newcastle-on-Tyne;" it had a black glazed peak,
lined with green. An ordinary white shirt,
a merino under-shirt much worn ; necktie, a
strip of silk, 4jin. by 30in,, of a bright blue colour,
and marked with bold white cross-bars; vest of
white cotton stuff, with blue stripes and pearl but-
tons; speckled brown cloth shooting coat, with
earthenware buttons to match, and one outer and
back pocket in each flap and one inner breast
pocket; lining, alpaca in the body, cutton in the
sleeves; black cloth trousers of loose cut, with two
side seam pockets fastening with a button, buttons
of blackened metal, stamped "Stewart end Son,
Newcastle ;" no braces, yellow leather strap and
buckle; brown woollen socks, patent side-spring
boots. Upon the body wts found a common gold
Albert chain and key attached to a silver watch,
and carrying a ring with a copper winding key,
two old-fashioned gold keys, and an odd piece of
twisted gold wire coiled into a sort of ring. Watch
a three-quarter plate lever, numbered 26,398, no
name, stopped at 2.40 ; two finger rings, one with a
medium-sized carbuncle, and another a simple
chased guard ring. There was also a small courier
bag with strap, but this could not be opened
until the British Consul attended. There was a
remarkable old scar upon the upper aspect of
the left foot near the third and fourth
toes. The nose and forehead were much scratched
and bruised, probably from his having struggled
upon the stony bottom of the place where he was
found. All the circumstances negative any sag-
gestion of violence or robbery, and, speaking as a
physician, I have no doubt that death arose from
drowning. Cc.nsidering also the bositerous gale
then blowing, the time at which the watch had
stopped (2 40), the exposed position of the pier, and
its very low parapet, I cannot but think that he was
blown over or stumbled over into the water, during
the darkness of the night.
A gentleman informed me that he recognised the
body as that of a second.class English passenger by
the train which left Paris at 7 50 on Tuesday morn-
ing last, but I could learn nothing more about him.
Lest the bag should contain no clue to name or
family of this unfortunate tourist, and as such cases
ars buried without much ceremony or delay in
France, I directed a photograph to be taken at once,
and that it should be sent on to me. I shall be
happy to give further details to any one enclosing
a stamped and directed envelope, or to see any one
who wilt call upon me at 2, Spital-square, between
the home of 11 end 1 o'clock.
