We see nothing in fair trading that re , Ntdres mystery—we understand no trade secrets—all we know our t e it estomers may know, for we desire to be candid. Everybody won t how_we can sell good articles so cheap. They can all understand irr it is that people can sell cheap when the articles are bad. There go_ difficulty in comprehending how common things are sold at low ; but the wonder is how we can turn out Clothes of the best inuty at the small prices we charge. We hesitate not to explain ,',!" we do it. First, we buy very large quantities of material, not at the first price, but often at considerably less than anybody 1 1 -7eeuld, simply because we buy more largely than anybody else can. z.. te We have an immense number of first-rate hands, who are equal S4 I :9Y in the trade in the quality of their work, and these are con employed all the year round. Thirdly, we employ a number of I,l,"sreest steady and talented cutters and fitters in the kingdom, and hi! . eilntend the work ourselvess upon the tosspremise. But, after all, there 6 4 ,, secret—a something which enables us ell a better and a ti7alfer article than anybody, and that is, we are content with b tv e i n n Profits, that is the grand secret. We fear no competition . in 4444', r naking, and selling. Our clothes . are equal in quality, Al..and style to those for which most tahors charge more than lee r , e Price. The vast business we do renders our small profits far t,b,, a dvantageous than other people's large ones, and . with an.es itn,4thraent unrivalled In extent, in convenience, and in situation, ansieeforeover with capital that will always command the best le s in the market at the most favourable prices, we can chal eqe the whole trading community to produce goods at the price IThO Ol the quality which we are selling hour l y .

The officers of the Rattler steam-sloop invited their Commander, Arthur Cumming, to dinner at the Ship Hotel, Woolwich, on the evening of the day on which she was paid off, as a parting tribute of the many plea sant days they had spent together on board the vessel. The Lords of the Admiralty have highly approved of the returns made by Commander Arthur Cumming dur ing his service on the coast of Africa, as they have proved creditable to all on board. Their Lordships have also made a special memorandum of the correctness and neatness of the pay books, and have ordered Mr. Robert Collins, clerk of (1848), to be entered as a super numerary on board the flag-ship at Woolwich, and granted him six weeks' leave of absence. 150/. was of fered for the chimpanzee brought over in the Rattler the night before it died of asthma, owing to the bold it had caught on its arrival in England. [PRICE SD. prise among its inhabitants that Jutland stands at present so much in the back-ground. Five out of every six of the Danish merchants who have esta blished themselves in England or Scotland are na tives of the peninsula. The Jutland farmers are an active race, fond of gain, and of thrifty habits; but as the internal commerce of that part of Denmark is carried on almost wholly through the medium of barter, there is but little inducement for greater ex ertions than are required to insure enough, and a little to spare. A railroad through Jutland to Hjerting, and its certain consequences—speedy com munication with, and remunerating markets in England—will change the aspect of the peninsula slightest like magic. Flouri s hi n g t owns w ill spring up around the railroad stati ons , an d th e b rownness o f heath and moor will be suc cee d e d by the yellow hues of ripening arvests. dub That t. a The lin D e ofa Danish Jutland in th e course o f a f ew years, I h ave no t th e peoplelway will are run to through too intelli gent to ignore the immense benefits of railway com munication. Education is universal. Every man, woman, and child (above a certain age) in Denmark is able at least to read, write, and keep accounts. The people at large enjoy also an unusual share of poli tical power, for every man of full age, and untainted by crime, has a right to vote in the election of mem bers of the Second Chamber. As the project of a railroad through Jutland is prodigiously popular there, and will be of great advantage to the other parts of Denmark, by completing the direct line of communication with England, the works will pro bably be undertaken as soon as the condition of the public finances will admit, at the expense of the State, if in the interval a private company does not come forward and obtain a concession of the line. I have dwelt at some length on the present meanr of communication between England and Denmark, and the prospect just opened of obtaining in a short time still greater facilities for international intercourse, on account of the great importance to both countries of a route at once rapid and direct. Denmark is now, and must for many years yet to come remain, an agricultural country. Half the population, according to the figures given by your Special Correspondent, are tillers of the ground. The only manufacture which is carried on to any extent is that of iron ; and both the iron and the coal which are used come ex clusively from England, for the coal found in Den mark is unfit for smelting purposes, being of that kind which is called the newest formation. The ability of Denmark to purchase a larger amount of our manufactured fabrics than she has hitherto taken must, of. course, be measured by our capacity to con sume the corn and the cattle which she can spare—a capacity which, owing to the pressure of a rapidly increasing population, only finds a limit in the means of supply. The quantity of cattle shipped from Den mark of late years has been very considerable ; and 1 was informed by Dr. Poulsen, to whose authority I have already referred, that in 1850 no less than 12,500 cattle were sent to London from Hjerting and Tonning alone. Now that a regular line of com munication is established between Hjerting and Lowestoft, a great increase in the supplies of provisions may be expected to follow. The Prince, on her first return voyage, carried out 60 bulloks and 179 pigs, besides 750 cwts. of pickled pork. On her second return voyage she had on board 63 bullocks, 80 pigs, and 4 horses, and this vessel alone will probably bring to Lowestoft during the season from 1,800 to 2,000 head of cattle. A Danish merchant, who was one of our fellow-passengers, told me that _he had entered into a contract to ship from Hjerting at the end of this month a full cargo of cattle by a steamer belong ing to the General Steam Navigation Company ; and I know that a steam-boat, to be called the Jutland, is now building on the account of the Danish Govern ment, and is intended to convey cattle between the Agger Channel, high up on the north-western coast of the peninsula, and London. Lowestoft, however, would, I should think, be selected as the port of de barkation. Altogether, the attempt of the Northern Steam Packet Company to establish a direct commu nication with Denmark cannot fail to lead, directly or hdugoinse to rally. DEATH OF LORD LANGDALE. Scarcely a month has elapsed since the lat e M a ster of the R o ll s took his final leave of the court and the bar over which h e h ad so long pres id e d , and already we are called upon t o record the melancholy close of a life which had been exh austed in the severest labours of the judi cialefor the b ene fi t of his health. The over-exer service. Lord .Langdale expired on Good Friday, at T prolonged attendance in the Court of Chan ranh produced a de gree of exhaust i on f rom w hi c h e og was T unb r idge-wells, well; whither he had repaired about a fort i night faculties, which had re mained unimpaired to the last moment o f hi s j u dicial duty, collapsed under that repose w hi c h came too l a te. A paralytic stroke followed, and th oug h h opes h a d a t one time been entertained that change of scene an d com plete rest would revive his Lordship's vital 4n ie u yta r i of adg unable powers " the silver chord was already loosened, and the bow l was broken at the fountain." Henry Bickersteth, Lord Langdale, was born on t he 18th of June, 1783, in the county of Westmoreland, where his father belonged to the class of the small landed gentry of the north of England. He had conse quently not yet completed his 68th year. Originilly destined for the medical profession, in which he had al.. ready completed his studies with success, he visited the Continent with the family of the late Earl o f Orford; and it was by th e a d v i ce o f t h ose di scern ing fr iends that he was induced to embark on the more ambitions career in which his remarkable talents already promised him no ordinary success. He entered Caius College, Cam bridge, where he took his degree as Senior Wrangler in 1808. Three years afterwards he was called to the bar by the Society of the Inner Temple, and he engaged at once in the arduous duties of his profession. Throughout the whole course of his life Lord Lang• dale was ardently devoted to the cause of liberal opinions, and although he figured but little at any time in the arena of party politics, no man pursued with greater enthusiasm the work of reform, or brought a more subtle intellect to bear upon the great probleras of social and legal improvement. His speculative-opinions upon these topics brought him into close and habitual contact with that relarkable set of men who, about a quarter of a century ago, looked up to Mr. Bentham as their sage and lawgiver; and although the philosopher of Queen-square, Westminster, was hardly destined to witness the prac tical application of his Sybilline labours, no small por tion of the reforms we have since accomplished 'in ou t. laws, our administration, and the Constitution itself, may be traced to that class of thinkers who claimed to be his disciples, and amongst whom Lord Langdale oc cupied a distinguished place. Assiduous in his devotion to his professional duties, Mr. Bickersteth rose to great eminence in the Equity Courts, to which he confined his practice; and perhaps at tile period of his career to which we are now advert ing a higher estimate was formed of his powers than his judicial performances subsequently warranted. Indeed it may be said that his personal reputation stood even higher than his forensic weight and celebrity amongst the party which had at that time recently been sum moned to the councils of the empire. Probably it was with a view to the services Mr. Bickersteth was expected to render in the cause of law reform, and possibly in Dart to supply the loss which had recently been sus tained by the rupture of the Whig Cabinet with Lord Brougham, that the equity counsel was suddenly ap.. pointed on the 19th of January, 1836, to succeed Lord Cottenham as Master of the Rolls, and was at the same time called to the House of Peers. By an unusual ex ception to th© course of high legal preferment in this country, his Lordship had thus risen to one of the most honourable and important posts in his profession without having mingled in active political life, and without having either sate in the House of Commons or held the office of a legal adviser to the Crown. But a few months had elapsed aiter his accession to the Mastership of the Rolls when Lord Langdale deli vered in the House of Lords his remarkable speech on the administration of justice in the Court of Chancery, and on the appellate jurisdiction of their Lordships' House. To the opinions expressed in that speech, and in favour of the division of the duties of the Great Seal, Lord Langdale constantly adhered; but when the occa sion arrived at which it might have been possible for him with more robust health and greater energy to carry these plans into execution, his time of action was already verging to its close. Upon the resignation of Lord Cottenham last year, the Great Seal was more than once tendered to Lord Langdale by the head of the present Administration; but though he consented to act as First Commissioner, and actually sate for a short time in the Lord Chancellor's Court and in the House of Lords in that capacity, the intense application to which the state of the Court of Chancery had condemned him forbade any further stretch of his powers, and he longed only for that repose which the expiration of 15 years' uninterrupted judicial service entitled him to claim, though not to enjoy. As a judge the reputation of Lord Langdale has at times fallen somewhat below what was expected of him in the earlier years of his professional life. He wanted that boldness of judgment and self-guiding energy which has enabled our greatest lawyers to apply and even to frame the results of scientific analysis with instinctive indirectly, to results of the greatest importance to the two countries. One great want, however, must be supplied ,Ita,soon as possible. There is no pier at Hjerting, and it takes two days to drag on board a cargo of cattle, which, if that accommodation were at hand, might be shipped in as many hours. Surveys have been made by a practical English engineer, whose report to me was that an excellent pier might be built for 1,4001. When this is done, Hjerting will command the greatest cattle traffic of any of the seaports on the Western coast of Denmark. The passenger traffic it must soon entirely monopolize, but ladies cannot be ex pected to select the new route until some better means of landing be found than a ricketty fraam and the back of a Danish fisherman. A good-sized punt, and a sloping stage on wheels, will be much better adapted to tranquillize the apprehensions of our fair countrywomen, whose love of the beautiful and the picturesque may lead them to explore the " fresh fields and pastures new" of Scandinavia. felicity and precision. But he was unsurpassed in the lucid and methodical exposition of the facts with which he had to deal. His elaborate and cautious dissection of every case before him led him by a safe though slow process to the discovery of truth; and the subtlety of his logical powers enabled him to unravel with indefa tigable accuracy the most intricate chain of reasoning. His labours as a reformer of the Court of Chancery fell infinitely short of his intentions and his desires, though even these ho powerfully and systematically contributed to the new rules for the removal of delays, the reduction of costs, and the abolition of needless formalities. But the philoso phical lawyer was baffled by the duties and obliga tions of the active judge. No man ever sate in that court who was more anxious to reform its abuses, and the last disappointment of his life was the production by Lord John Russell of the miserable Chancery Bill of the present session. personal not inferior to that which it conferred u p on himself, for Lord Langdale brought to his office a p di nit y he was a man earnestly devoted to truth and justice— the suspicion of a job or the by loftiest motives of acti on .

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office arm—Moderato and equitable Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Corapanias have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted (m, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may Justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be ce m nt. ade of into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. The hearing of the informations against several omnibus proprietors, for using omnibuses not truly constructed to carry the number of passengers they purported to be constructed to hold, was resumed be fore Alderman Wilson, Alderman Ficuis, and Alder man Lawrence. The court was very much crowded, and the case being one of public importance, and one in which the omnibus proprietors, omnibus builders, &c., were very much interested, a great number of that body was present in court during the proceedings. Mr. Lewis attended for the proprietors of the Pad dington and Metropolitan Association. Alderman WILSON asked how long a time it would take to make all the alterations required ? Mr. Lewis said, as there were quite 99 out of every 100 that were illegally corotructed, it could not possibly be done in less than two months, without great detriment to the Oublie, J accommodation, by drawing off a great numb l ar . 9 4 ?Alleles from the daily traffic. , Alderman WILsoN thought4llo months was more than necessary, and evidence waif then put in to show that every omnibus took from six to seven hours to alter, and that they could not all be remodelled in less time, as these alterations -could only be effected between twelve o'clock at night and six or seven o'clock in the morning. Alderman WILSON said he would give them two months, and begged to caution the proprietors that he would send round inspectors on that day two months to measure every omnibus, and if he found any smaller than the Waterloo vehicles at the end of that time, the penalty of 101. should be most rigidly enforced in every instance, and he hoped that the press would give publicity to this decision, in order that the proprietors might not he able to plead ignorance of the statute, or the present proceedings and result, when the time should come for the inflic tion of the 101. Mr. Lewis undertook, on behalf of the proprietors of 800 omnibuses, plying to and from London in short stages, that their vehicles should be altered within the time, and the progress made in the altera tions reported to the magistrates every week, to show that the proprietors had no wish to evade the law. Alderman WILsoN did not ; think they were so much to blame as the builders, and he would ad vise the proprietors to bargain with them, so as to let the responsibility of illegal construction rest with the latter. Convictions of ls. and costs were then taken in each case. • BOW-STREET. Two young men, named James Kelly and William Carter, were charged with breaking into the dwell ing-house of Mr. Henry Paine; 234, Strand, tailor, and stealing property therefrom. The prosecutor stated, that his house was closed in the usual manner on the night of the 7th of April, but at five o'clock in the morning, he was alarmed by his servant, who told him that the house had been broken into. On going down stairs he discovered that the greater part of his stock goods had been cleared off, and the remaining portion scattered about the place. It was evident that the entrance had been effected through the back kitchen window, the grating of which had been torn from the brickwork. He considered that the thieves had been disturbed during their plunder, as a coat, trousers, and several other articles of clothing, with' a chisel, &c., were found in the passages, as if left in the hurry of escape ; these, and a pair of shoes, being the pro perty of the men. Some of the prosecutor's goods, which had been pawned by the two prisoners, were produced in court and identified ; and Mr. JARDINE committed them for trial. WANDS WORTH. Mary White, alias Wood, a little demure -looking woman, dressed in black, was, together with a mas culine woman named Maria Stuart, brought before Mr. Paynter on a remanded charge of imposing on a number of ladies resident at Clapham, Balham-hill, and Tooting. . William Horsford, the chief officer of the Mendi city Society, was now sworn, and recognised both prisoners as old offenders. White had gone by the names of Smith, Jones, Wilson, Grant, Thompson, and other aliases, and she bad lived with three or four notorious begging-letter writers. She had got no young child ; she had only two sons, one was married and the other transported. In 1837 she was going about imposing on the charitable, and living with a man since transported - whether he was her husband he could not say. In June, 1837, the pri soner imposed on the Earl of Harrington, but was discharged by Mr. Dyer, at Marlborough•street. In July, 1837, she was committed from the same office for obtaining 2/. from Sir Francis Lawley, Bart., by Mr. Chambers. In January, 1838, she was com mitted for three months by the Lord Mayor, and in April, 1839, was tried at Newgate by the Recorder, and sentenced to three months' impri so nment. In August, 1842, she was committed for three months by Mr. Ballantine, and. in April, 1843, for three months by Mr. Trail ; in July, 1843, discharged by Mr. Hardwick ; in February, 1845, committed by Mr. Hall for a month ; 1845 tried at Newgate and acquitted; March, 1846, committed by the Lord Mayor for 14 days; August, 1846, by Mr. Maltby, for three months ' • December, 1846, discharged by the Lord Mayor, May, 1849, committed by Mr. Ingram for three months ; July, 1850, committed by Mr. Hall for three months. Among the offences she had committed was using a forged certificate of a patient's death in the London Hospital ; also a blank convict certificate, which had been obtained from the transport-office, and afterwards filled up with Mr. Capper's signature as the generous donor of 2/. The prisoner had, in London only, been apprehended 15 times and convicted 13. The prisoner White, who turned her face to the wall during the reading of her catalogue of offences, made no defence. Mr. PAYNTER said, this case showed the extent to which the charitable feeling of the benevolent had been abused. But the remedy was entirely in the hands of those who wished to be truly charitable and to effectually stop this system of plunder, so destruc tive to the really poor. What they should do was never to give without applying to the Mendicity Society—a very excellent institution, which did much good—and to other sources. We did not do our duty by satisfying our conscience in giving at the moment, and it might be as well to mention that by a law in former times it was an offence to give alms without making inquiry, and he hoped that by these cases being brought before the public it might put an end to this harmful system of charity. The prisoner White, to whom it was useless to say anything, would be committed for three months with hard la bour. The other prisoner, although it appeared she had been an o ld o ff en d e r, commencing her career even antecedently to the last prisoner, had not done sufficient to warrant her committal, and must be discharged. Henry Grainger , alias Jonathan, was next brought up on a remanded harge of presenting an envelope, on which was written, " With the Rev. W. Bowyer's compliments," and containing a petition, at the house of Mrs. Rickson, of Clapham, on the Bth inst. The Rev. W. H. Wentworth Bowyer, rector of Clapham, proved that he knew nothing of the prisoner, and it was not his handwriting. Evidence was given of the prisoner and an old man being seen together in the tap of a public-house writing; and the potboy overhearing the old man say to the prisoner, " Oh, the old woman is good for a shilling." Horsford proved the prisoner had been committed by the Lard Mayor for a month, and by the Hon. Mr. Norton, at Lambeth, for eight months. Mr. PAY TER committed the prisoner also for three months, with hard labour. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Her Majesty the Queen, with that consideration for the wishes of her loyal subjects which has ever distinguished her reign, has consented that the State opening of the Exhibition on the Ist of May shall take place in a manner corresponding with the popu lar character of the occasion. All who have pur- chased season tickets will be admitted, and although some precautions will be taken that the building may not be unduly crowded, there is space enough within the vast area to accommodate, without the slightest inconvenience, such an assemblage as, perhaps, never was collected under one roof before. It is calculated that the ceremony of inauguration can be witnessed by 15,000 people, and that will probably be the limit to which the privilege we announce will be confined. For the concession thus made to the loyal and affec tionate wishes of the people the public have in a great measure to thank Lord Granville and the Executive Committee, whO duly and urgently, yet respectfully, represented the unpopularity of a State opening from which even exhibitors, after all their efforts and sacri fices, would have been excluded. We shall not at• tempt to anticipate the splendour and attractiveness of a pageant taking place under such auspices, in such a building, and witnessed by such an assemblage. If properly managed, as we have no doubt it will be, the world has probably never witnessed a grander or more imposing spectacle. Whichever way the occasion is viewed, the materials for effect which it developes impress themselves on the mind. An unprecedented homage to human industry will be combined with a manifestation of loyalty to the throne under circumstances at once novel and affect- ing. Her Majesty will have an opportunity of judg ing how little her person and authority have to fear from the encouragement of the peaceful arts all over the world. Those sinister prognostications of evil which we have lately heard uttered will be dispelled, and a remarkable illustration will be given of the truth that anarchy and industry are incompatible terms. With reference to the programme of the open ing nothing is yet settled, but no time will now be lost in making the necessary preparations, and it is to be hoped that every means will be adopted which the construction of the building and the objects it con tains present for rendering the ceremony as imposing as possible ; and we would again repeat a suggestion made by us some time ago—that from the large and powerful organs which have been erected music appropriate to the solemnity of the occasion should swell out and fill the vast area. By the arrange- ment at present contemplated, her Majesty will open the building at ten o'clock, proceeding from Hyde park-corner along Rotten-row, and entering at the eastern end, while the admission for spectators entitled to be present will be at the south end of the transept. It would be premature as yet to insist upon the necessity which exists that all who are admitted into the Crystal Palace on this interesting occasion should preserve the strictest order, and obey implicitly the rules which shall be laid down for that purpose. We cannot, however, omit this opportunity for point ing out the reasons which had very nearly deprived the public of all share in a ceremonial to which they had looked forward with feelings of very natural and excusable curiosity. Whenever the Queen appears in public people, who from their appearance and man ners ought to know better, flock around and almost mob her. Nor is it the male sex alone, but ladies also are found guilty of this impertinence; and it has been ascertained by experience that the policeman's truncheon, though effective as it is in a street row under ordinary circumstances, is powerless against the wearer of a satin dress or any other form of feminine finery. Ordinary assemblages of commonplace people can be kept in order, but crowds of gentlefolk, it is said, cannot ; and it was this difficulty that Lord Granville and the Executive Committee had to combat in their happily successful efforts to impart to the promised pageant a popular character. (From the Times.) We have not recurred to the subject of her Ma jesty's State visit to the Great Exhibition (although great numbers of remonstrances against the scheme, which was announced to the public have been ad- dressed to us by all classes of persons interested in that vast national enterprise), because we felt assured that her Majesty's gracious desire to give the utmost effect and dignity to one of the most remarkable oc currences of her reign would remove and amend whatever had seemed defective and unpopular in the instructions promulgated a few days ago in the name of the Royal Commission. It is, therefore, with great satisfaction that we now find ourselves authorised to announce that the Queen has signified her Royal pleasure that arrangements should be made to enable her Majesty to gratify a wish very generally expressed on the part of the public to be present at the cere mony by which her Majesty , should open the Exhi bition ; and that a meeting of the Royal Commission has been summoned to consider the programme of this ceremony, and the regulations under which the holders of season tickets will be admitted to the in terior of the building at the time of her Majesty's visit. After this intimation it is needless to ad vert to the inconsistency manifestly involved in a proposed for a State visit from which the public should be excluded. The State visits of the Sove reign to Parliament, to the national theatres, or to the city of London, are occazions upon which the ancient splendour of the Court of England is happily and significantly blended with the rejoicings of the people ; and while every one respects and admires the refinement and retirement of her Majesty's domestic life, there are times when the Queen of England appears with state at the head of a loyal and attached nation and meets with her accustomed dig nity the acclamations of her subjects. Of such occa sions this opening of the great edifice in Hyde-park on the Ist May is unquestionably one. Raised as it has been by the voluntary munificence of private in dividuals under the authority of a Royal Commission, the country and the world know that Prince Albert has been not only the zealous patron, but the active and intelligent coadjutor of this stupendous work, which owes perhaps its existence to the energetic influence of the Court. Nor can it ba forgotten that when Europe still reeled under reeent calamities England summoned the nations cf the earth to her festival of industry and peace. The part of Queen Victoria in the inauguration of such an edifice is more than an act of formal sovereignty; for her Majesty will dedicate the Crystal Palace, in which her Consort has shown the strongest interest, to those principles of universal peace and commercial freedom which are the chief glories of her reign ; and the cultivated feelings which this enterprise i 3 calculated to encourage and to ex press—the union of all classes in this nation, the goodwill of England to foreign countries, and the progress of the arts in taste and utility—could in no age have had a more appropriate patroness and reprea sentative than they find in the Queen. But as the Court is prepared to take part with the people in the august ceremony of the let May, it is not less essential that all the persons who may have qualified themselves for admission to the interior of the building should remember that they, too, have a part to perform beyond the mere gratification of their curiosity and their:enthusiasm. It is the earnest desire of the Royal Commissioners to frame such re gulations as may most effectually conduce to her Majesty's convenience and to the general satisfaction of the public ; and we trust that whatever those regulations are, they will be decorously and good humouredly obeyed. It is obvious that the promiscuous and continued admission of many thousands of visitors during the presence of the Court, or the unrestricted circulation of so large a mass of persons within the building towards one centre of attraction, would give rise to confusion, which must be disrespectful to her Majesty and in consistent with the purposes cf the Exhibition itself. Whatever rules may ba laid down, much mu s t still depend on the good Iseeeding and self-control of those present, who will conduct themselves as bes comes English men and women in the presence of their Sovereign and surrounded by foreigners, who have been invited to give increased splendour to the Exhibition, es hilst they are in one sense the guests of this country. We have never , shared in the slightest degree the political apprehensions which have been very absurdly connected with the vast assemblage of visitors Lon don is about to receive. This metropolis has already its full complement of fugitives and desperate charac ters from every part of Europe, and those who may visit the Exhibition will belong, in an immense ma jority, to the cause of order and peace, We do not, therefore, believe that alarm was ever entertained in any quarter for the certain and absolute safety of her Majesty, in whatsoever manner or in whatever place she may think fit to take a part in the amusements or the pursuits of her people. Such inventions are grossly absurd and unfounded. But the move ments and emotions of great crowds and multi tudes have always , something solemn and exciting about them, , even when'ttheY are directed to the most harmless and agreeable- objects ; and under such cir cumstances the comfort and personal ease of the Sove reign, and that Sovereign a lady surrounded by her children, require every precaution which can be taken to secure them. It would be intolerable if the Queen herself were the only person in the land ex cluded from the Exhibition by the vulgar curiosity of the public; and it is not improbable that in the course of the next few weeks this country will re ceive the visits of other illustrious personage; no less entitled by their rank to the respect and deference of those who meet them. We hope that in every in stance the visitors to the Exhibition, of whatsoever class or rank, will bear in mind that its success de pends in great measure on the propriety of those who frequent it, both towards the high and the low. The Royal Commissioners have set an admirable example in disarming the spirit of emulation whenever it threatened to rise into national jealousy between the exhibitors: and it is surprising with what union and good feeling this complicated work has been carried on. Now comes the part of the public ; and we are confident that they will feel that our nAtional charac ter for hospitality, good sense, and politeness is quite as liable to be canvassed by the world on such an occa sion as our manufactures, our works of art, and our machines. DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH DENMARK. (From the Chronicle.) Although the return journey between Copenhagen and London, which was briefly described in my letter of the 10th inst. from Lo wes t o ft, was per f orme d i n eighteen hours less than the time which was taken up by the outward trip, I have no doubt that the transit between the two capitals may be accomplished, even under existing circumstances, more speedily than was the case with my fellow-travellers and myself in our second attempt at an express through Denmark. As has been already hinted, the party was rather too large for pioneering service, and their appurtenances were somewhat unwieldy. But a person really de sirous of proceeding from London Ito Copenhagen with all the expedition which the present means of conveyance will afford, might easily leave London at five p.m. on Saturday, by the Eastern Counties Railway, and find himself comfortably installed in his hotel at Copenhagen about the same hour on Tuesday afternoon. He will reach Hjerting, from Lowestoft, early on Monday morning, and twelve 'hours will give ample room and verge enough to cro sa the peninsula of Jutland, by the route which we ourselves took at Snozhoe. In twenty-two hours more, at the outside —which would allow for longer delays on the road than is necessary, or should, indeed, be tolerated— he will be in Copenhagen. But a person who under takes such a journey must gird up his loins a little, and retrench an superfluity of baggage,. He need not confine himself to a shirt-collar and a tooth brush; but let him not affect hat-boxes, nor triumph in English portmanteaus of solid leather, lest biz joy be con verted into mourning. And if, after having achieved his conquest over time and space, he would return as speedily as he came, let him be innocent of the know ledge of cherry brandy during his stay in Copen hagen. Should he once taste that ge a erous liqueur, the next step is inevitable. Buy one at two cases of it he must, and no actuary's assistance will then be required to calculate that, what with tie cording on of these precious packages at the beginning of every triaveller's arrival at Hjerting, all that he will see of Wednesday's s p t r a o g b e a , b a il n i d tie t s he ar u e n s c t o ro rd n i g n g tb o a f t, t o h n em t at the end of it, the steamer will be the smoke from her funnel as she s n p g e e i d n s n o n e a h r e g r od rej bo oi x c e - s of Jutland salmon. way of b l a a c c r k o s c s a t t t l h e e , pickled Ger aupoOrcke,aann, A route which may be traversed in fr,hree days, in spite of natural impediments and imp srfect arrange ments for travelling, offers even at pres wet greater in ducements than those which Hamburgh or Ostend hold out, the journey from London to Copenhagen via Lowestoft and alerting being not only shorter but cheaper than either of the routes no w taken. But great improvements in the means of coolveyance are already matured, while others are uncle r the anxious consideration of the Danish Government. In the be ginning of May a diligence is to be: started from Hjerting, a great advance on the opera basket wag gons, in which our party shivered through Jutland. I was informed, also, by Dr. Poulsen, a member of the Second Chamber, who has devoted much time and at tention to the details of the whole subject, that in the summer a steamer is to run from Frederia, in Jutland, a town a little above the ferry at Snozhots ' to Copenha gen. It is calculated that the voyage will be performeu in 14 hours, and this will reduce the jorerney between London and Copenhagen to two days and a half. In the mean time a new and direct road is to be constructed at the cost of the Government between Kolding and Hjerting, and endeavours will be made to con tinue the works on the line of railway vshich has been surveyed between Roeskilde and Korsoer. At present there is some little difficulty about funds ; for the heroic efforts which the Danes made to preserve their national independence in the late struggle were ac companied by corresponding sacrifices. That portion of the railway which is already open, namely, between Roeskilde and Copenhagen cost 500,C00 rim-dollars per Danish mile, which is equal to 4 7-10 English miles. The expense, therefore, of construction amounted to 11,000/. a mile English, which appears a large sum when it is borne in mind that the steepest gradient throughout the line is as 1 to 250. The Hamburgh and Kiel Railway cost just half of what has been expended on the line between Roeskilde and Copenhagen. The latter pays to its proprietors a dividend of only 2 per cent. ; and as a natural consequence :in Denmark, where capital commands a good rate of interest, the shares have fallen to 50 per cent. discount, and some backwardness is manifested in taking up the shares for the 101 miles (Danish) which will continue the line to the Great Belt. I cannot persuade myself, however, that this reluctance will be long-lived. The sum required to carry the Zealand line through to Korsoer is not more than 4,500,000 rix-dollars, or 500,0001. sterling ; and the national importance of the work, as well as the commercial advantages which must follow its completion, are so obvious, that every true Dane will be anxious to promote such an undertaking as rapidly as possible. The present dividend of two per cent. depends upon the returns received from merely local traffic, but there is every reason to expect that this will be augmented to four or five per cent. upon the completion of the line to Korsoer. A line of railway through Funen and Jut land, following the route which our party travelled, has also been projected; but no surveys have yet been made, and doubts have been expressed in com petent quarters whether the Funen line would at present pay, as the expense of carrying it by Odense would be too great to reimburse the shareholders for their outlay, and profit would be out of the question from the traffic on a line which should avoid, on ac count of en g ineering difficulties, the chief city in the island. But an iron road through Jutland in volves no obstacles which may not be surmounted by a moderate expenditure of money, and is the one thing needed to develope the natural resources of the Peninsula. Your Special Correspondent on the agriculture of Denmark has stated, in speak ing of the comparative fertility of the vari ous provinces or districts of the kingdom, that Jutland contains the greatest p ro p ortion of unprofitable and unimproveable land ; and I have reason ave reason to believe that he derived his information from excellent authority. Neverthel throughout our journey so forcibly arrested ss, m ynoatten tion, or has retained so strong a hold upon ent omy mind, the district e as the vast capacity for imp and through which we travelled was informed that ; a large portion of Jutland to by your Special exhibitsa the same features. The wastes of flying sand referred Correspondent are not found in the district in ques tion ; but heath and bogs assert an almostfeel absolute dominion over it. Th e soil, however, well E qutly intermixed assured, would abunda ntl y repay the labours of the husbandman. A pe at y loam,r f with limestone pebb les, extends itself, en generally at a depth of about one foot, often turn up. Th e perpetual over a subsoil of gravel, is which m successiongrait e boulders of slopes, more or less abrupt, s indicates at a g lance the ease with which the g reater small portion of the land might be reclaimed ; and occa sional instances presented themselves on our route, in which these natural facilities had not been neg l ec t e d . Th e c ourse adopted in reclaiming the tracts in ques tion from the waste, is, as I was informed by an in telligent agriculturist in Copenhagen, as follows large s pace of heath is first cleared ,by setti ng it on fi re; after a short time natural grasses spring up, which are fed down for two or three years by sheep or cattle ; and the land is then broken up with the plough, and gravel is mixed with the surface soil. Very good crops, I understand, reward this process, and the only reason—but a sufficient one— why it has not hither to been more extensively pursued is the want of a matket. It is not from the lack of industry or enter- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Commander Frederick E. Forbes, promoted on paying off the Bonetta, has been appointed to study at the Royal Naval College. Lieut. J.

THE TURKISH SQUADRON AT PORTSMOUTH.--The Turkish frigate Mirate Zafre, Captain Mehemet Bey, and brig Sara Bahri, were towed out of Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday by the Echo steam-tug, and anchored at Spithead. The frigate, when off the Spit Buoy, fired a salute of 17 guns in compliment to the flag of Admiral Sir Bladeu Cape!, which the Victory returned. It is nut certain on which day they sail for Constantinople. The second captain of the Mirate Zafre has succeeded to the command of the brig, vacant by the death of Captain Bey, her cenaraander. With respect to these inte resting foreigners, we may here observe, that during the six months they have been with us, both officers and men have been much on shore; that their conduct has, on all occasions, been marked with the utmost decorum; no quarreling nor dispute has occurred; a more quiet, orderly, inoffensive, unpresuming people Are never have seen. They have not mixed much with the inhabitants of Portsmouth, but this has been owing to their general —we may say, their entire ignorance of the English language, and their not finding any persons speaking the Turkish language, which has rendered any general intercourse impossible. They have not expended much money on shore, excepting some outlay for warm cloth ing and shoes to enable them to stand the cold of the n . winter season. They have been tolerab l y healthy, caned we understand, have not suffered more thantheasgpra. rality of the inhabitants from the influenza that e h nerally veiled so long in this locality. The men a! small, very cleanly in their persons , sober, q uiet and well disposed, and if during their visit the y mai not have made many friends, we can vouch with safety that they have not made an enemy. After the conclusion of the trial of the steam-frigate Penelope, Captain Lyster, on Thursday, a party of arti ficers from Portsmouth yard were sent on board her at Spithead, to rectify the defect in her capstan. This was accomplished by the party working all night. The difficulty she experienced in getting a back turn with her engines was said to proceed from the new machi nery working stiffly , a?.el not from a n y d e f ect. On Sa turday evening Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel, Kaalß,, went out in the Sprightly steamer, and paid a visit to Commodore Bruce. He remained on board the Penelope an hour and upwards, returning into harbour about six o'clock. The crews of the Penelope and her tender, the Teazer, were all on board at sunset on Sa turday, and both vessels sailed early on Sunday morning for the coast of Africa. Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain M`Dougall, has re turned to Queenstown, from cruising in the chops of the Channel for the relief of the windbound. Avon, steam-tender, Mr. Veitch in charge, left Queens town, on her return to Devonport, on Thursday. Apollo, troop ship, Commander Rawstornc arrived at Malta fro m C or f u , on h er way to the West Indies, on the llth instant. Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, is to have new fore and main yards, which will be fished—i. e., strengthened in the slings, in the same manner as those recently furnished to the Prince Regent. Her present yards will be returned to the dockyard. It is now said she will go to Spithead on the Ist of May, where she will further fill up, if not complete, her complement. Another lieut enant h as b een appointed to her — viz ., Mr. A. Bathurst. _ . Simoom, iron screw-ship, has discharged her ballast, and has been brought into the steam basin at Poi tsrnoutb, preparatory to being taken into dock to be converted to a troop steamer. Poursmourn, SIINDAY.—La Bello Alliance, hired freight-ship, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Corfu, with part of the 36th Regiment on board. The Lady Flora freight-ship arrived to-day from the sarntt place, also with troops. The Athol troop-ship arrived at Sierra Leone from Plymouth on the 20th ult. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Harris, was taken out of dock ull utaunt on Friday.

EDITED BY ELIOT WARSURTON EsQ 2 Vols. Th e memoirs offer a good subject, we ll t r e a t e d," e and indeed almost ' a necessary ad dition to the library of every English gentleman. The book is a necessity to all who, unable to devote a life-long study to the subject, wish to know the truth of 0112 of the most inte resting centuries of our history—that century which refined a great nation from the grossness and profligacy of the Stuart age to the refinement and the comparative purity that 7ilded with merited honour the clsi clays of George the Good and his Queen. The memoirs ng of Horace Walpole and his Contemporaries" nearly completes the chain of mixed personal, political, and literary history, commencing with "Evelyn" and Pepys," carried forward by "Snit's Jour nals and Correspondence," and ending almost iour own day with the histories of Dlr. Macaulay and Lord Mahon. Besides its historical value, which is very considerable, it cannot be estimated too highly as a book of mere amusement. —Standard. The antiquities and othsr interesting curiosities of the East India House are now open to the public every Fri day instead of Saturday, as heretofore. This alteration has been made in the hole of accommodating a more intellectual class than some of the former visitors, and the result is con. falderal satisfactory.--Observer.
