Mums was held on the subject of the preference given in the Exhibition to MORI% Joseph Rodgers and Sons; and the m tyor, with the Local Cornmi.sioner , , were requested to solicit an interview with the Royal Commissioners, to pro. test strongly against the arrangt mont, as unjust to the other exhibitors, and detrimental to the town. On the return of ;the deputation a meeting was held, at the Cutlers'-hall, to , receive their report.

They first saw Lord Grimily, who admitted that the privilege that had been given was a great mistake. but said that the arrange ment, had now proceeded so far, he did not see how they could he changed. Lord Granville's first proposal was that they would not remove Messrs. Rodgers and Sons, but they would give another place in the central avenue in which might be exhibited a selection of the Sheffield goods. The deputation repudiated that offer. Lord Grin ville said that attic all the trouble and expense Messrs. Rodgers and Song hail incurred he did not think the RovulCommissioners could make any change. The deputation then propo.ed to repay to Messrs. Rodgers • and Sons the expenses they had incurred, and that in the • place prepared for them they would exhibit a selection of , goods from Messrs. Rodgers and Sons and other manufac toren, (Cheers.) On this another consultation took place; ", but the result was, that the Commissioners were so far ' pledged that they could not give way. They afterwards saw Prince Albert, when they went to hear the result of the consultation among the Royal Commissioners. The Prince read over a number of names of hinrys to whom preferences hail been awanled, among whom was Mr. Job 'son Smith. The deputation objected to that, hut they were in the same dilemma there as in the case of Messrs. Rod gers and Sons, and they were °Minted to submit, as the time , was now too much advanced to permit of an altendion. The error was admitted, but it was too late to remedy it. 7.

Alderman DUNN added Etat Lord Granville, in expres- sin,/ his sorrow that this measure had been taken, hinted that in mitten of this kind the details must be managed by I suliordinates, and that the Royal Commissioners knew no thing of this MO till they received the remonstrauce from Sheffield. The Prince hinted, but not in the way , of com plaint, at the amount of labour and anxiety that the Exhi bition had cost him, and made a sort of appeal to the She!: field exhiiiitorr not to allow this circumstance to iuterfere with their contribution to the Exhibition. The Prince hinted also, but did not speak in the distinct terms used by Lord Granville, at his regret at what had oc curred. The deputation replied that they should deceive hi. Royal Highness very much if they did not say that the Sheffield exhibitors would feel very much ilisappouited with the result, and that they had a right to do -o ; but that they would not, especially after the desire expressed by his Royal Highness, fail to do their utmost to promote the success of the Exhibition. Among other things, they were sneeringly told by a member of the esecutive, that it Sha fie:fl did not like it, they could have put a London house in the plate. To this the deputation replied, that was a gra tuitous insult to Sheffield, for no London house could have 1.

The Prince and Lord Granville did not attempt to justify what had been done : but the Prince said he wa. instructed to say, that in the opinion of the conni,ioners they could not lio nnurably withdraw from what had been done. Read's patent bee-engine. Hayward, enwkerne, Somerset.—Flongh, with drilling machine attached. fur sowing all kinds of grain. Henry l.oeosk, Tiverton.—lough. Dr. Newington's hand dibble was pronounced a failure. Clumiller's liquid manure distributor, for grass lands. This appeared an admirable implement, and elicited warm praises from Cul. Chaloner, one of the committee. Fowler's patent draining apparatus: Fowler and Fry, Bristol.—A most ingeniousmachine,whicheutsthedrainand deposits tubular drains at the same time; it can lay three guar ters of a mile in length of pipes per day, with the labour of three men and three horses. It has been exhibited at the egri. cultural show at Exeter, 111111 will answer on perfectly level or hilly land• ; but will prove incapable of laying the pipes at a regular inclination, where the surface of the ground is at all undulating. This apparatus excited the greatest interest: during the day its operations were witnessed by several hundred persons. There were various ploughs and minor implements to which I have not alluded, but I be lieve I have not omitt, el any of importance. Mr. RORT. JACKSON adverted to the fact of London houses exhibiting Sheffield goods as their own manufac ture, and suggested that every person exhibiting as a manu flu turrr , hould be required to state whether the goods were hie own make. Alderman Di NN regretted that the goods were not to be priced at the option of the exhibitor, for he was tore the London houses dare not show their prim besides those i of Sheffield. The Sheffield manufacturers should set themselves right by a resolution to stamp no names but their own. Perhaps it might be a very invidious thine, if a Sheffield manufacturer saw a Sheffield article exhibited as the production of a London manufacturer, to complain. Mr. Overend and he were quite willing to bear the respon sibility, and where any distant manufacturer was exhibiting as his own an article that could be proved to be of Sheffield manufacture, they would be ready, on the evidence being furnished to them, to bring it before the Royal Commis sioners. He suggested that a committee should be appointed on this subject.

Tha committee appointed by the Bishop of London to take measures for aflisrding the numerous visitors of the I metropolis this year the opportunity of attending public ' worship amording to the ritual of the church of England, are proceeding in their inquiries and arrangements for that purpose. On Sunday, the 4th May, a sermon will be preached by his lordship at St. Paul's Cathedral, on the occasion of the opening of the Exhibition. The inw=hents of many parishes and ecclesiastical dis cte have Informed the committee that they will ba able to provide mass of public worship for any probable influx of drawn aorriated with the English language. They will el* additional facilities to strangers of attending the ordi nary services, and institute if necessary extra services in their churches, or open school-rooms, or hire buildings for divine worship. In some cases assistance towards meets Inc the expense will be required from the funds at the disposal of the committee. Offers of assistance have been received from 33 clergymen —either Frenchmen or Germans by birth, in English orders I —or Englishmen well acquainted with the languages al' the continent. It appears that in churches and consecrated chapels the liturgy can only by law be read in English ; but seven unconsecrated or proprietary chapels have already been placed at the disposal of the committee foe I extra services in foreign languages. Brompton chapel, Kensington, has been engaged for a French service, and St. Mary's, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, for German; the arrangements for other chapels have not yet been com pleted. As the attention of foreigners will be eapecially directed to our cathedral service, the authorities of St. Paul'a and Westminster Abbey have it in contemplation to provide, if possible, additional means or opportunities of attending public worship in those magnificent edifices during the Exhibition. To assist foreigners in following the services of the church, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge is printing editions of the Beak of Common Prayer with English and French, or English, French, and berrnan, in parallel I columns. Copies of these useful works will be widely ch.- ! culated by the committee. At the request of the committee the Titer and church , wardens of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields have agreed to open I St. Martin's church for a course of evening lecturer, to be delivered once a week during the Exhibition . by some of I our most eminent divines. The names of the preachers I and the subjects of the lectures will be announced as soon as they are determined. For the benefit of strangers a guide to places of public I worship will be printed, containing a list of all churches, chapels of ease, and proprietary chapels, with the hours of divine service in each. A number of tracts suitable to the approaching occas i on have been prepared by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and effective measures will be employed to circulate them, and to offer Bibles and prayer-books, both in Englieli and foreign languages, at a cheap rate. A con venient depository will be formed at Knightsbridge for that put I-se. To promote friendly intercourse with religious foreigners, it is proposed to hold e n weekly meeting and to open one or two reading rooms, in which foreixn pastors and other strangers, properly introduced, will have the opportunity of meeting the direr, and in which a register of addresses will be kept. A residing room has already been engaged in the paiish of St. Venire.. A special committee has been formed to make these arrangements. _ _ _ (PROM ORR OWN COURESPONDENT.) COPENHAGEN, APRIL 7. New routes and modes of intercommunication are ever a subject of interest, whether the end to be I attained be in Europe dr the other hemisphere. I Direct means of transit between the states of Eu rape may not, indeed, have the commercial impart aned which attaches to improved connexion with California, and Denmark is not El Dorado; but still if, by activity and enterprise, a renewed impulse can be given by means of a direct route to an important trade in Europe, the boon, independent of other con siderations, is worthy of acceptance and encourage ' ment. Thus it is with great pleasure that, having been invited by the promoters of a direct route between England and Denmark to join their first experimental trip, I can report to you most &your ably of its prospects, and sanguinely of its success. 'there are at present two routes to Iknmark—one rid Ostend, Cologne, Hanover, Hamburg, and Kiel ; , the other direct rid Hamburg front London. The 'objections to the first-named route are its length, the time it consumes, as well as the perpetual changes which it necessitates in crossing streams, arms of sea, I and other obstacles. The objections to the latter lay chiefly in the length of the sea passage, which averages 60 hours. Ihe new direct line of contmu- Mention between England and Denmark takes the passenger from London by the Eastern Counties Railway to Lowestoft in six hours, thence by steam direct to Hjerting, a port in Jutland, in 20 hours, and from that to Copenhagen by land in 30 hours at the utmost. These are the advan tages of the new line as regards passenger ft-riffle. With regard to other points it was impor tant for Denmark to have a direct communication by steam with England, not only as by its means she becomes in a manner independent of Hamburg, but she satisfies at the same time a national feeling which is that of aversion to everything German. Connnereially it is of importance for the cattle breeder of Jutland to have a direct market in, Smithfield, instead of being subjected to the middle- 1 man system prevailing at 'Lemberg, which not only deprives hint of part of his profits, but enhamees the price of his produce in London. The cattle trade of Jutland with England is not in embryo, it is an old established one, and it will now be undoubtedly in creased by the establishment of the direct route. Having said this much by way of preamble, let me describe the incidents of our journey out to Co penhagen, for which every facility hid been al forded us by the directors of the Great Northern Steam Company. Having made our way from Lon don leisurely to Lowestoft on Friday, the gstli of March, we found the splendid steamer, Prince, ly ing in the harbour ready to receive us. 'the l'rince had performed her voyage from Gravesend to Lowes toft in seven hours, taus giving promise of a speed which Was fully kept on her voyage out to 'Um -Bug. A few hours spent on Saturday in Lowe's:oft enabled us to appreciate the improvements of late so judiciously made in laying out pleasant summer residence's, and in improving the harbour. A new cattle shed of petty architeeSurej has already been built on a •mer along which a] tramway serves to communicate directly with the main line of railway It was not till 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Satur day the 29th that the pleasure party destined for Denmark assembled together on board the Prince, which got under weigh amid the cheers of wined*, undeterreal by the falling of a pelting shower. As 1 have already said, the l'rince kept her promise of speed. She hove in sight of the island of Sylt exactly 'Si hours after leaving Lowestoft; the distauce run in that time being not less than 300 marine miles. Sylt is a fine landmark for ships coining on the coast of I letimark ; the navigation there is pro verbially intricate, and it is one of the adtantages of iljerting, our destined port of arrival, that S . ylt an stds out boldly to mark the course that leads into its bay. It is advisable, however, always to make Sylt in time to make the run iii to Hjerting during day light. It was dark before we reached Silt, and we therefore anchored inside of the island ana in smooth', water for the night. In the morning. of Monday the Prince had passed the island of Fuuo, and auchored in the rear of Hjerting. The islands bordering on Jutland arc one of the curious features of Iteninark. They are of sand for mation, raised out of the sea by the drift front thu coast. The continuous planting of Nand rushes alone prevents the coast lines of the islands from changing with every wind. As it is there is generally solute change noticeable in the coast line every year. Fano Wand is inhabited by a population of übout 3,000, living in two large villages. The men are 'tailors, and the women perform all the household and agri cultural labour. half the year the men are absent on their expeditions, whilst the wo men toil at the land. In the winter the men sit smoking their pipes like Indian chiefs, whilst their wives use the flail and grind the corn. The Fanoans are, in fact, a race apart. They inter marry, and will allow no intercourse with the main __ _ _ land. The women are extremely handsome, and CARRIAGF. FOR Me ExIITRITION.

ENGLAND Ain!this country no postilion drives more than two i sa I horses, so the additional weight of a burly red coated DENMARK HOIi DI TWENTY l)anc was added to our already somewhat laden Iconveyance. Each of these portly persons had his whip and trumpet, and it might have been inferred that two lashes would be found more inciting to speed than one. It was not so, however. The front horses refused at times to go, being evidently unaccustomed to the position they occupied. and then they were only got forward by a sort of caressing shampooing from tho postilion. who gut down for the purpose of urging them oa ; ulti mately the beasts had to be unyoked altogether, and the vehicle proceeded with one pair of horses and one postilion. From Warde to Endrup, and through Estrup, few roads can be worse than that which we tra velled. At one moment threatened with an upset on one side, a deep rut would at o,we suc ceed the obstacle, and cause a corresponding jump to the other side of the road, and involuntary reminis cences of Dickens's travels in America ro , e in our mind as we slowly toiled through the heavy track which the Jutlanders were pleased to cull roads. The wind had fortunately very much lulled as tho evening came on, and darkness setting in saw us driving through Estrup farm, a long square of build ings most favourably situated for a strategic position, and remarkable for having been the scene of military operations in the first campaign between the Dance and llolsteincrs. The road passes right across tho farm, and its approach on one side was through o thick wood—the scene of many a skirmish between the tirailleurs on each side. Some lively pictures of the mode in which each party dodged behind trees and took advantage of every sinuosity of ground were presented to us in Copenhagen. The road through the forest, beyond the farm, was in the same state as it had been fat since the passage of the artillery of the Prussians, who had occupied Estrup. It was full of ruts and holes, all the way into Kolding, a dis tance of 16 English miles, which took four hours to drive. We were much interested on the way by the numerous barrows, or tumuli, which we could see in large numbers scattered through the country. The legends, or unwritten sagas of the olden times, ars still told of these funereal mounds ; and though many have been gathered and published, others, in far greater numbers, remain unchronicled, save in tho memory of the most venerable inhabitants. The searches made in these barrows have led to the form ation of a numerous collection of old Cymric arms and pots at Copenhagen, under the fosteilug cure of Professor Thomsen. Oyster shells, too, have been found in the tumuli, and lead to the knowledge that as an article of food these fish were well known by our ancestors. Superstitious ideas respecting the barrows are also very rife, and in many pluses the peasantry refuse to allow of their being opened, unless a spade left on the spot for three days untouched justifies the searcher in proceeding. It was about midnight that we entered Kulding, a gentle descent from the hills above it enabling tho elear,;-bancs to rattle on at a somewhat greater speed. Kidding consists entirely of one street—nut a straight one, but winding like a serpent, in an endless variety of house and cottage. Through thisstreet the &him wig-Holsteiners fought their way, driving back the 'Sines, who tired at them from the windows on each side. Threats of bombardment from the ikighbour ing hills had no small share in the surrender of tho town to the men of the Duchies. From Kolding to Snoghoi on the Little Belt was a short run which was performed in the that covered carriage that wo obtained. A boat took us across the Belt hi twenty minutes, the day dawning over the clear deep water, and the noise of the oars in the rowlocks alone break ing the stillness of the night. Mittellikt is the place of landing on the island of Fatten. We re sumed there our covered carriages, and the roads being swoil, well macadamises', and kept in order, wo reached without difficulty the town of Offisise in time for breakfiist. nihilist is a pretty open coun try, well cultivated, growing capital rye and burley; and its chief town, Odense, is a bustling plats., hay ing a garrison, a royal palace, and is spparently , I most thriving. From it to Nveborg, a drive of three • hours by the Danish post brought us to the border of the Great Belt. Nyeborg is a krt : it has a littlo harbour, in which we found a steamer ready to tuko us over to Korsor, on the other side of the Great Belt. The deck of this little steamer was covered with soldiers, going home on leave. Their blue uni forms, little caps, horses of every colour, passengers with their furred cloaks and heavy boots, altogether mode a pretty picture, albeit the sight was more pleasant thatiihe odour which arose from the horses, the bilge water of the steamer, and the various pipes of the soldiers, who lay in lazy groups about the deck. There is a dreadful clearness about the waters of these belts which creates osrvous Icd ings as to boats being able to float in so limpid a no dium. The depth being very great, and the hots tom dark, gave the water of the Great Belt a black appearance, which contrasted singularly us we ad vanced with the blue hills of Fuhnen, which loomed in the distance. Evening set in us our party left Korsor, and it was early morning before Ibieskild, • the St. Denis of Copenhagen, and burial-place of Danish kings, was reached. There the only railroad that Denmark boasts of commences its iron course, and getting into its minty carriages we reached Copenhagen on Wednesday morning. The time spent in the journey from Illerting to Copenhagen must not be taken as a criterion to regulate that in which it might ho done. '!'hero were many obstacles in the way, and the stoppages were unavoidably numerous ; die roads through Jut land were bad ; the course taken indirect. At Copen hagen we were assured by the chief ministerial authorities, that seeing the efforts made in England to promote a new route, roads properly macadamised and kept in order would be made under the direc tion of the government engineer through Jutland, direct from Hjerting to Kolding. The land is eminently favourable for making rbads. The bogs asd wastes are nowhere impassable or deep, and they possess a subsoil of gravel and limestuno that makes capital roads. The stations, which aro now too many miles apart, would be made closer to each other, and in fact every facility given to open up the route. A diligence will be established be tween hljerting and Kidding in May, which will bo fur preferable to the Danish mode of posting. Count Datmeskiolde, the Postmaster-General, re gretted that one impediment should exist ut present to postal communicution in the shape of a contract between the English post-officc and the Hamburg steam company, which precluded the possibility of obtaining the passage of mails direct from Englund. Hopes, though I believe them distant ones, arc enter. tained, however, that a change may bo effiseted for that portion of the mail service specially relating to Denmark. Batt even though this difficulty were not solved, there is no reason why the direct line of steamers from Lowestoft to Hjerting should not be eminently successful. As a means of direct transport for cattle, the line is already in use; Jut land, abounding with bullocks of the best breed, somewhat resembling the Durham, and which, though not fat enough fur the London market, might be made sufficiently so by a fortnight's good killing is Norfolk and Suffolk. Pork, too, is most abundant, , and from its cheapnesswould be welcome in the Loa. I don market. Such being the advantages of the route, it only remains for the Danish government to complete tho arrangements for bettering the roads, obtaining tho passage of the mails, and making a small quay at Iljertmg, and the direct line from London to Copen hagen will be in a fair way to become a favourite tbr commercial as well as pleasure traffic. I shall de scribe our stay at Copenhagen, and our return, in another letter, first premising, however, that doubt less the measures taken to ensure our quick return will enable me to give more favourable accounts as to the speed of our overland journey to Iljerting EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY —Yesterday, information was received by the metropolitan police that the Royal Ordnance Powder Dlilla at Waltham Abbey had been burglariously entered and plundered of a large amount of property. The thieves broke into tho cashier's office, and, forcing open the iron safe, they took front it 3201. in Bank of England notes, 196 sovereigns, and 18s. 2d. in slyer and copper. They also effected an entry into the storekeeper's room, from whence they took 121. Besides the cash, they took a quantity of powder, and got clear away with their booty. TUE LATE MR.
