LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7.
Titz emaciated friends of pram, who propose to
°Urdu their great aim by the introdoetion of a system
of arbitrage, here met with very signal mama hi
their bold attempt to reconcile Datum sad Hol-
deicers. We must confess onisalme an credeloos
votaries of either pence party or magmas, mach m we
admire their enthusiasm and philanthropy. And on
first kerning the voleging of Messrs. STIIIIOII and
Bcraarrr to the beside camps upon the Eyder, we
deemed their pir-poes hopeless and Quixotic. The
countries and the asthorities visited by them
philanthropists did not, however, mein them
in any such light. The Holsteiners and Schleswigees
of all classes, from the shopkeeper to the prises,
from the professor to the soldier, from the man is
office to the man in the ranks, welcomed the proposal
of those who recommended a fair and nen-pohtical
arbitrage. An impartial tribunal wee all that was
asked for by the men of the duchies, and they were
ready to lay down their arms and abide by the decreer
of each a tribunal if their antagonists would make the

ISMS submission.
To do justice to the Danish ministers, who, as the
servants of an old court, and working in the harms
@fold diplomacy, might be supposed.more adverse to
the interference of mere philanthropist', they were as
polite and considerate as the Holateinem. IVe were
not , indeed a little amused by the noiveti of our
delegates, who hinted to the Danes that, by
accepting the arbitrage, they would be able
to develop their own fees institutions, without
the interference of fopign powers. However little
this may have entered into Doltish calculations, still pro-
posals and proposers were well received. And as
there is every likelihood of neither army of the
duchies being able to defeat and destroy the other,
and as there exist many great dangers and difficulties
is the way of any other powers interfering with en
armed force on either side, it is very possible that
Danes as well as I lolsteiners may, in the end, grasp
at the honourable and constitutional way (arbitrage
being laid down in their treaties), of terminating
their differences.
Hostilities, indeed, have not ceased. Generals at
the head of &mi.' suffer in chimney if they allow
them to lie idle; and hence, perhaps, the Holstein
general his matte an incursion north of the Elder,
taking Tonning and attacking Frederichstedt. Were
be successful in those operations, General WUXI-
1115N would have occupied a large part of Schleswig,
inhabited by the Prism, and most hostile to the
Dues ; and from this province operations might with
more facility be directed, as soon as the frost deprives
the Danes of the great advantage; which they derive
from their superior fleet. Should the Danes march a
force to repel the Schleswig I lolsteinere, General WIL-
LIIIIR would have obtained the advantege of compel-
ling them to quit their formidable entrenchments, and
of thus fighting them on more equal terms than ho has
been enabled to do since the battle of 'date&
What mikes all this effusion of blood more
lamentable is, that fighting will sot settle the dispute.
No momentary or casual superiority of the Dane* is
the field will ever enable them to establish a perma-
nent mastery over provinces filled with a German peps-
lotion and contiguous to balmy proper, connected
far more with Germany than with Denmark by trade
aad by inevitable relations, and not only this, but
connected with Germany by the solemn treaties
which divided Europe as it is, and catabliabed the
German confederation.
Not all the protocols in the world will Danify
Holstein. Not all the treaties and armies that could
be signed or act on foot would make Holstein con-
sider Copenhagen as its capital. Whatever is done
towards them by force will only endure as long as
the form lasts, and es soon as mrcumetences remove
it, the countries will fly asunder with a force of
natural disruption. So that the "integrity of
Denmark," as it is culled, which Russia and
France, and England have undertaken, not very
positively, it must be admitted, to establish, is one of
the many things that despotic courts are so apt to
undertake against nations, but which constitutional
governments Ault never lend themselves to.
The only chance for a strong and independent
country between tho Elbe and the Sound lies
in rendering the bonds which unite the different
aces and regions as loose and the institutions
as liberal as possible. Endowed with self-
government, free trade, and free institutions, Hol-
stein and Schleswig would be in so huts, and would
feel nq interest, to go over to the German body;
nay, they might be influential in preventing Heisteseg
from &birthing itself in any great political or imea-
simnel empire. Copenhagen, we repeat, is not the
natural, and scarcely the possible, metropolis of
toiletries so situated as Holstein and Lauenbourg.
Despotism and military violence, instead of helping
to become so, will, on the motrary, remove it farther
and farther from either greatness or influence. And
we firmly believe that the establishment of a Russian
piece, policy, and influence at Copenhagen mail
prove the utter ruin and destruction of the Dade
kingdom, and even name.
The only hope for Dec tank is the develops,* et
liberty, political, municipal, and commercial, in the
provinces of the Danish races; nod the allowarice of
local independence and development in the pre-
einem of German origin. This, joined M a
respect for laws, rights, and treaties, would
more unite the provinces on the Eyder to
Denmark than all the exploits of General Voss
KROGH. or all the severity of Danish adminisleitsres
even when aided by the absolutist Consal-Gessail
ROWEL
To a possible return towards such wise policy, the
English delegates of peen) have now opened the
door for Denmark. The Danes themselves could
not do better than accept it. Bet the character and
past conduct of the Xing of DINIKARY forbid us
to hope that be can have the good sense or good
feeling to accept fair arbitrament. A personal fee
el hatred towards the MIGCSIIII4IIIIIG
roes anxiety to sell his reentry and its Mare
uses to Russia, so completely blind the punt
King of DIIIIMANI, that his plum' influence will
evidently be thrown late tho scale of violence,
absolutism, and war. The bringing the we people
to treat of peace might be seep bat to deal with a
court, its superannuated prejudices, its pride, and its
piques, is a task, we fear, too difficult and intricate
foi saoh honest and staightforwarl negotiators as
Mama BIJILILITT and STCAGE.
With all these miseivings, wo nevertheless trod
they will persevere. The very spectacle of the cool
and rations) men of both countries being ready to
terminate the quarrel on fair grounds is alone a ma-
nifestation of gre tt imp-arum and isfinence, not only
in this but in all future quarrels. And the peace
party will bars gained power and respect, whatever
the result of their 'atm' endeavour.

WE made some Observations last week spa the ad-
vice giee 3to egrioalturiste by Sir JAMES G&A►BA to
depend mole on pasturing than on ploughing. Than
wbat was to be deprecated in a social and political
point of view, was, we are resavinced, still more erro-
neous in eoonomio respects. Indeed, the goal:silty
of farmers et the present moment ore more alarmed
by the price d stock than by that of the oars
market

Still we believe we mast look at home for wafts
regulating the price of fat meat, both in the live sad
dead minket:. 'fake for inataree Smithfield market,
ea the 23rd of September last, where there were
4,872 beams, 29,8 W sheep, 288 calves, sad 610 pigs.

Novi it will be seen by Agee wise "settee the market
reports that there is frequently, Meld *sully, a
good demand for beasts and sheep of the best qoall-
ties, while the Warier animals are not easily disposed
of. Take, foe &due& our owe market report for
last Friday, and we fled that " the aumber of beasts
wee large : however, for the beet descriptions there
was inquiry, at about the same rates as on Monday ;
but second-rate wee lower. There was a fair see-
rage supply of sheep; the trade was dell, bat the
choicest kind were net lower." And each is a fair
sample of market reports at this time, good things
selling well, but inferior being sold only through the
temptation offered by low price. It appears,
ever, from the Beard of Trade tables, that there has
been but little increase in the imports of live steak
during the punt year. In the eight months of
1848, as in the eight mouths of 1850, the number of
ones imported were 12,769 and 12,012; desires these
were 9,958 and 12,815. In lambs mid swine
there was the greatest increase, the latter made
up for by • decrease in the salted meat. And
from the returns it would seem that the actual
weight of meat imported in the form of lies stock has
decreased during the present year, the &arum of
numbers, where it has occurred, having been chiefly
in the young animal&
There is notbinz very alarming to oar agriculturiate
in these importations, nor do we believe they will at
any time become suffiaently large to redeem meat
below its runt rate, namely, from 41d. to 64. pee
lb. to the grazier, according to the quality of his animal;
but the British grazier must be aware that there is a
certain and constant supply of meat easing into our
maiket with which he will have to compete, and
which will, probably, prevent him true obtaining the
high prices of a few years ago. He must, therefore,
produce his meat at the lowest possible cost, and to
do so he must begin with a good animal and keep it
well in order to bring it to market in the shortest
time and at the lout possible expenditure of food.
This is just what our best breeders and feeders
of stock bane been endeavouring to do for some
years ; and whore stook is grazed in the house and so
fed chiefly on corn, cake, and other provender, the
prices of which have fallen in a ratio corresponding
with the fall in wheat and meat, grazing end feeding
bare not paid badly ; bat where grazing on pasture
land has been relied on either exclusively or for the
most part, there the farmer feels the low pries of
meat press him with mush severity. Foreign im-
portations have not, however,, so much to do with
this as the change which for years has been
going on in cur domestic husbandry. For-
Wierly the grazier on pitons had the field
Wesel, threshold great part of the year, and in
ear best grazing districts the expenses for Isboor
were so small, and the animals were brought out in a
tertian time at so little cost beyond their prime cost
and the rent of the land, that grazing was fur a long
time one of the most profitable branches of English
husbandry. Now, by means of house feeding and
van crops. the arable land farmer can bring out
better besets sad sheep at less out and in mesh
shorter time than the grase-grazier, and manages to
supply the market for nearly three Parte of the year
leaving to the grazier only three or four months In
the autumn with the chief command of the market.
All such pasture land which it is really profitable to
graze has now become so highly rented from the com-
petition fur it which has exived amongst farmers,
that the landlord gets all, and often more than all.
the value of its ycar's produce. There is no doubt
either that the corn-fed brute are brought to market
in a riper and better state than the grass-fed, and are
far less affected by the casualties of mum
At the present time, for instance, ell the summer
graziers, except those who happen to occupy the very
beet ruing land, find their stook only half fat, and es
they have no provision for carrying them cm through
the winter, they are obliged to part with them. At the
'mat cattle fair at Peterborough there were large num-
ber, of fine short-horn beasts, three and four years old,
whit* had been bought in last year by graziers, kept
through the winter in straw-yards, and graved on
puler* throughout the past summer, and were sold
for very little more, end in some oases for no more
than they cut this time last year. On the other
hand, at the same fair there were fins beads in my
good condition bought at prices so low that they
could not fail to pay handsomely for stall feeding,
though should the system prevail of keepiag them
through the winter in a stationary state, and thee turn-
ing them outto graze on the pastures next swains& it
is by no means improbable that should next summer
turn out vet, cold and wet, or Tory hot and dry, both
extremes being injurious to souse graders, these
bouts, apparently so well bought now, may make
little or no return fir the year's lase, um of capital,
rent of land, and so forth. Here it to plaid the fault
is in the system. The badness of a grazier, that ia
one who depends on pasture lands exclusively for fat.
toning cattle, bar for years past been growing worm
and worse, and that is a fact well kaown to agricul-
turist'. _

In the ooaree of the examination made by a corn.
mitts* of the House of Commons in 1818, as to " sgri-
cultural customs," Mr. Wit.Stuw, a farmer of North.
amptanshire, and a member of the council of the Royal
Agelsaltural Society, in his ev idesoe poiatedly adverted
to tido hit. He was asked whether the Warm in
Niethemptembire give the beasts bought in in the
autumn to grace the ensuing summer, oil-cake daring
the whiter ; to which he replied, "It is by no means
the general system, because they find if they give
take in the winter, there is so much grass incapable
of improving them in the summer that they keep
this poor in winter • in fact, the beasts are started to
is the land, instentiof the land made to suit the beasts
and sheep." And he afterwards added that the tar-
mere—meanie( occupiers of sable and mixed farms
—are the men who are cake, not the grasUrs ; the
latter often put oht their cattle to straw yard to be
kept through the winter, at from le. to la. Bd. per
head a week. It is not surpridag that stock time
kept cantot pay. In fact, they searoely ever get fat;
really fat on pastures, unless the land is very good
indeed, or the Esau remarkably productive of gram
And Mr. Su.tw also stated it as has opinion that me-
third of the pasture land in Northamptosehim ought
to be broken ap and converted into arable.
Here we have a eine to the origin of the complaints
of the gmriers, which Is, that their rough and rude
system is bring superseded by ser who proems
meat end corn pa the same farm, and who render the
production of the one not only directly proditabls, but
enberviint to the increase of their met crops. And
' amongst these there are various degrees of anecese,
dependint for tie most part on the amount of skill
L and attention applied to the management of Meek.
We hem entered into these particulars, partly to
allay certain 111-grounded fears generated by unOdi-
ful roarer, of cattle; partly to show the complete
erroneounem of th opinion given by. Sir JAMS
Gautax at the Oarlisla agricultural meeting.
