TUE GREAT SECRET OF TRADE.
Many houses make a mystery of their business, and one
"e. think they were in possession of some great secret, that none
9ttrillernseives must know. We see nothing in fair trading that re-
eB mystery—we understand no trade secrets—all we know our
tlj'eraers may know, for we desire to be candid. Everybody won-
-11:lhow„we can sell good articles so cheap. They can all understand
h" it is that people can sell cheap when the articles are bad. There
41'0 difficulty in comprehending how common things are sold at low
; but the wonder is how we can turn out Clothes of the best
4,l"tY. at the small prices we charge. We hesitate not to explain
041 Wed° it. First, we buy very large quantities of material, not
yat the first price, but often at considerably less than anybody
S.euld,siraply because we buy more largely than anybody else can.
to we have an immense number of first-rate hands, who are equal
it OY, in the trade in the quality of their work, and these are eon-
employed all the year round. Thirdly, we employ a number of
tolZast steady and talented cutters and fitters in the kingdom, and
IC`mtettel the work onrselvess upon the premises. But, after all, there
tVeeret—a something which enables us to sell a better and a
ieroarr article than anybody, and that is, we are content with
13415 Profits, that is the grand secret. We fear no competition in
k, 8111, Making, and selling. Our clothes
.are equal in quality,
%able'. and style to those for which most tenors charge more than
lON ?lee. The vast business we do renders our small profits far
gibliB,?,vantageous than other people's large ones, and with an es-
%a 'Zeal unrivalled in extent, in convenience, and in situation,

Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and olltitable
Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to pr ts portion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has bi ten so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result c.f guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual loss as of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and La isurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximatic.n to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable F tee Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can oril y be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has net. hitherto
been sufficiently acted .;n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return period testily to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably pa..] able,- as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is lasgely interested in this question, and will consult his 1 n terest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of .0 lassifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis f its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premi Jun as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter int 4, arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. o f the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Po 11 cies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Coax :puny upon

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 Finnis, 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 constructed, it could not
possibly be done in less than two months, without
great detriment to the public accommodation, by
drawing off a great number of vehicles from the daily
traffic.
Alderman WILSON thought two months was more
than necessary, and evidence was 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 r press would give publicity to this decision, in
order that the, proprietors might not be 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 Wimom did not cthink they were so
much to blame as the builders, and be would ad-
vise the proprietors to bargain with them, so as to
let the responsibility of illegal construction rest with
the latter.
convictions of is. and costs were then taken in
each case.

sufficient to warrant her _committal, and must be
discharged.
Henry Grainger alias Jonathan, was next brought
up on a remanded Charge of presenting an envelope,
on which we written, " With the Rev. W. Bowyer'e
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 Lord 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 a the Ist of May shall
take place in a manner correspoahling 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 cccasion 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 fi;l 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
of public have been ad-
dressed to us by all classespersons interested in
that vast national enterprise), because w e 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 defectiveunpopular in the
instructions promulgated a few anddays ago in the name
of the Royal Commission. It therefore,l with great
satisfaction that we now find lolrse ourselves authorised to
announce that the Queen has signified her Royal
pleasure that arrangements should be
emaldie to enabled
her Majesty to gratify a wish verpyre•eseeen
present
y expressed
on the part of the public to be at the cere-
mony by which her Majesty should nopen 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 bett. admitted to the in-
terior of the building at the of her Majesty's
visit. After this intintationitiinies needless to ad-
vert to the inconsistency manifestly involved in
.a
proposal for a State visit from vihich the public
should be excluded. The Statevisitsl of the Sove-
reign to Parliament, to the nation
the city of London, are occe theatres, or to
sionsupon which the
ancient splendour of the Court of England is happily
and significantly blended withone lc rejoicings of the
people ; and while everyrespectsofh and admires
the refinement and retirementer Majesty's
domestic life, there are times when theof Queen of
England appears with state at the headda loyal and
attached nation and meets with her accustomedof dig-
nity the acclamations of her subjects. h occa-
sions this opening of the great edifice insne Hyde-park
on the Ist May is unquestionably one. Raised as it
has been by the voluntary munificenceofprivate 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 activee and
s
intelligent coadjutor cf this stupendous work, which
owes perhaps its existence to the energetic influence
of the Court. Nor can it be forgotten that when
Europe still reeled under reeent calamities England
summoned the nations of 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 is 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 repre.s
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 ht 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 atterection, would give rise to confusion,
which must be disrespectful to her Majesty and in-
consistent with the purposes of the Exhibition itself.
Whatever rules may be laid down, much must still
depend on the good breeding and self-control of
those present, who will conduct themselves as be-
comes English men and women in the presence of
their Sovereign and surrounded by foreigners, who
have been in vited to give increased splendour to the
Exhibition, s whilst they are in one sense the guests of
this country.
We have never shared in the slightest degree the
political apps ehensions which have been very absurdly
connected wit hi the vast assemblage of visitors Lon-
don is about to receive. This metropolis has already
its full compit?ment of fugitives and desperate charac-
ters from every part of Europe, and those who may
visit the Exhi,Pition will belong, in an immense Ina-

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT..
SENTENCES.

The following is a correct list of the sentences pass ed
during the recent sittings of the Court:—
TRANSPORTITION.—For Life—W. G. Smythe, and J.
C. Wright.

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.
WANDSWORTH.
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 had 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' imprisonment. 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 21. 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 old offender, commencing her career
even antecedently
to the last prisoner, had not done

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 they 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 personages 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 Lowestoft, was performed in
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 to 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
notel 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 cress the peninsula
of Jutland, by the route which we ontrselves 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 all 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 his 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 generous liqueur,
the next step is inevitable. Buy one or two cases of
it he must, and no actuary's assistance will then be
required to calculate that, what with the cording on
of these precious packages at the beginning of every
stare, and the uncording of them at the end of it, the
probabilities are strong that, on the traveller's arrival
at Hjerting, all that he will see of Wednesday s
steamer will be the smoke from her funnel as she
speeds on her way across the German Ocean, rejoic-
ing in a cargo of black cattle, pickled.pork, and boxes
of Jutland salmon.
A route which may be traversed in three days, in
spite of natural impediments and imperfect arrange-
ments for travelling, offers even at present greater in-
ducements than those which Hamburgh o:r Ostend hold
out, the journey from London to Copenhagen via
Lowestoft and fljerting being not only shorter but
cheaper than either of the routes now taken. But
great improvements in the means of conveyance are
already matured, while others are under 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 open 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 Fredericia, in Jutland,
a town a little above the ferry at Snozhoe, to Copenha-
gen. It is calculated that the voyage will be performeu
in 14 hours, and this will reduce the journey 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 which 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 rix-dolkn;
per Danish tnile, which is equal to 4 7-10 English
miles. The expense. therefore, of construction amounted
to 11,0001. 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
iine 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
K.Ursoer. A line of railway through Funen and Jut-
land, following the route which our party travelled,
Las 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 engineering difficulties, the chief city in
the, island. But an iron road through Jutland' in-
yo,ves 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 proportion
of unprofitable and unimproveable land ; and I have
reason to believe that he derived his information
from excellent authority. Nevertheless, nothing
throughout our journey so forcibly arrested my atten-
tion, or has retained ao strong a hold upon my mind,
es the vast capacity for improvement of the district
through which we travelled ; and I was informed that
a large portion of Jutland exhibits the same features.
'Tie wastes of flying sand referred to by your
ur Special
Correspondent are not found in the district in ques-
tion ; but heath and bogs assert an almost absolute
dominion over it. The soil, however, I feel well
assured, would abundantly repay the labours of the
husbandman. A peaty loam, frequently intermixed
with limestone pebbles, extends itself, Fenerally at a
depth of about one foot, over a subsoil of gravel, in
which small granite boulders often turn up. The
perpetual succession of slopes, more or less abrupt,
indicates at a glance the ease with which the greater
portion of the land might be reclaimed ; and occa-
sional instances presented themselves on our route, in
which these natural facilities. had not been neglected.
The course adopted in. reclaiming the tracts in ellk.'s.•
tion from the waste,
. as I was informed by an
agriculturist. in Copenhagen, as follows :—A
large space of heath is. first cleared by setting it on
fire ; 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

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-
bliihed themselves in Eee,latel or Scotland are na-
tives of the peninsula. The Jutland farmers are an
active race, fond of gain, arid 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
like magic. Flourishing towns will spring up around
the railroad stations, and the brownness of heath and
moor will be succeeded by the yellow hues of ripening
harvests. That a line of railway will run through
Jutland in the course of a few years, I have not the
Tightest doubt. The Danish people are 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 means
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 I
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 Pfince, 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 cn board 63 bullocks, 80 pigs,
and 4 horses, and this vessel done 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 be 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
A gger 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
indirectly, to results of the greatest importance to the
two countries.

One great want, however, must be supplied as 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.
