In that case the sale of grain will occasion a loss of minerals to each acre of the fa m of from 20 to 21 Ills. of potass and soda, and 26 to 30 lbs. of phosphoric acid, in the course of the rotation, or on an average 5 to 6 lbs. of potass and soda, and 61 to 7l lbs. of phosphoric acid per acre per annum. In the sale of animals there would be some additional loss of phosphoric acid, though if it consisted solely of feeding and not breeding stock, this would be less considcruhlc than in the case of grain. They have ascertained by experiment that the amouut of alka lies sent off m meat would be only about one-fourth that of the phosphoric acid. Practically, phosphoric acid is provided by the purchase of bones and other phosphatic manures. The question, then, is what external supply of the alkalies requires to be pro vided by external sources, and it seems that from 3 to 8 lbs. per acre per annum would be required to be drawn by decomposition from the stores of the native But in truth, such amounts of produce as above stated are not exported from the farm, unless under a system of purchased food for stock, or other sub , stances, as rapecake, &c., as manure for turnips; and by either of these means more of the alkalies would be brought upon the farm than could possibly be ex ported in the increased produce of corn and meat arising from their use. Thus wherever land is well .4Witinsted , the' -timiseis*-apcst the native soil for alkalies, by the sale of corn, will most likely be less than has been assumed; and it is not unlikely that in our actual practice the available alkalies of the soil will, from the two causes of import and disin tegration, accumulate rather than diminish. It is suggested that to keep up the fertility of a farm by imported manures alone, without stook, would be too expensive; and it is asked of practical I men, as a test of the mineral theory, " how it would be possible that the increased growth of wheat should be so limited, and that its cost should be so great as in experience it is found to be, if the only manure required were the mineral constituents found in its ashes?" And further, "how, on the idea, on the other hand, that the nitrogen supplied in our ma nures determines the produce of wheat, they [practi cal men] could account for the relative paces of wheat and ammonia, unless on the supposition that the expenditure and loss of the latter, during the growth of the plant, is a fact which fundamentally affects the production and cost of rain in practical agriculture ?"

The last supposition seems to be fallacious, since the sulphate of ammonia itself is found to be subject to an impor tant change when mixed with the soil; and it is found that the burning of clay, which Liebig recom mended to facilitate the absorption of ammonia from the atmosphere, nearly destroys its efficiency as an absorbent from solution. (T 4 be contiseed.) FRENCH TRADE AND TRzt)7SIT, AND FOREIGN RAILWAYS. M. Magne, the French Minister of Public Works, ek. has jurt resumed his functions, after his tour through various parts of Europe to examine the state of railway so communications. M. Magne made en interesting excur- 20 sion. Accompanied by M. t.:hatelus, chief of the railway division in the department of public works ;he visited Bel- 2 1 gium, Germany, Austria, and Italy, stopping at Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, Rome, Genoa, and Turin. The foreign gr. governments gave him everywhere a most cordial recep tion, afforded him every facility for his investigations, and II the Ministers of Public tVeisks of Prussia, the Roman States, I.! and Piedmont were polite enough to accompany hint them- " selves in some of his investigations. What the hon. minis- is ter has, above all, been able to convince himself e t . of, and what ho will no doubt detail to the 20 Assembly, is the persevering efforts of our neigh bour to place the ports of Ostend, Antwerp, Ham- .. 15 •narst, sad Stettin, In communication with the southern states of Germany, in order to unite all Italy with so' the Austrian provinces, and to draw to Trieste and Genoa the transit between England and India.. Whilst we are St. discussing and delaying others turn time to account, and S. obtain an advance on us. Foreign railways are at our very 2, doors, and we still deliberate. What, for instance, did the 12 : hon. minister see in Germany 1 liAilw ;IN s crossing each pa other iu every direction, from the North tea and the Baltic St. to the Adriatic ; from amburg and Cologne to Trieste ; from Konigsberg to the Lake of Constance, Switzerland, and Italy. He can say that he saw seven and thirty sore- 2 reignties, independent of each other, acting in accord for Is the construction of a complete railway system ; whilst we, so with that centralisation of which we are so proud, have not SO yet been able to agree on the execution of the most import- 01 , 1 tint line iu our territory. It is matter of notoriety that, for IA! a great part of Germany and for the circles of Prussia and bt. of Bantria,the shortest distance from the sea coast is the right ss line drawn from Havre, through Rouen, Paris, Metr, and SC Strasburg. It is the natural commercial course tor cen- 10 tral Europe. The Antwerp to Cologne line now disputes 01 -.„ that transit with us. The recent opening of the line which ; unites Hamburg and Stettin with the centre of Bavaria, ig and soon with the Lake of Constance, has produced a coin- st, petition which not less menaces our relations. Fortunately the Strasburg line is one of the most advanced of our nuns bee, and the works are being urged on most energetically. , Three sections of that line were opened during the pa..t se year; the line will bo open to Coosmerey in November; as the branch line of Metz will soon reach Forbach, and touch tr the Prussian frontier, and the port of Havre will be united to our frontiers of Alsace and Loraine in the first months ..„g l . of 1842, so that in that direction we shall arrive in time to ; preserve a transit which belongs to us in virtue of our es , geographical position. But the communication between 20 England and the Mediterranean and India are most ener- 18 getically disputed with us. We have often spoken of the LO efforts made by the Austrian government to unite the part a of Trieste to the German railways, and the gigantic labours lb which it has undertaken to cross the Julian Alps at n the passage of the Summering. M. Mamie and M. Chatclus 111 visited all these works, sometimes on toot, sometimes in a I. carriage, and were present at several of the trials between 10 the locomotives, of which an account has been published. ". If we are well informed, the hon. minister was above al' is` things struck with the immensity of the works at the pas- se sage of the Summering. Thirteen tunnels and twenty-five le viaducts, amongst which is that of Kalteurinne, of two Se stories, jk.l metres in height, and 222 metres in length, can r , give an idea of those great works. The tunnels are termi- so anted, and the works of art are advancing rapidly. Not so less than 13,000 workmen and 2,000 horses ore employed in 22 the works, and the engineers are in hopes of finishing the lb works at the beginning of 15d3. The Austrian govern ment is now having the definite surveys made fur the part ra' of the line between Laybach and Trieste, and is neglecting so nothing to promptly till up this unfinished portion. We ot.i hope that when M. Magne explains all this in the tribune, 15 the Assembly will see the necessity of at last coming to some 25 decision relative to the Lyons and Avignon lines. How can 111 -1 we consent to any new delays when Austria is making such ' , practise cfrerts to terminate the rivet line of Trieste ? _ Al- so ready the Assembly has departed from the system of rali• journment by deciding that bills fur the resumptiea d hei the works should ho placed on the order of the day. The coming discussion must cud is some useful result, if Frame is not to lose the transit from the East and India. no ""° Minister also found Italy much occupied with the construe. gg tiara of railways. Austria is busied about the execution of the line from Venice to Milan. A bridge of 222 arches, three kilometres (nearly two English milts) in length, cut 0 over the lagoons, jOhlfl Venice to the main land, and the tr 4 line is already open to Verona and Mautua. The govern ments of Modena, Parma, Tuscany, and the Roman States SO have recentlytreated with Austria fora network of railways to be connected with the line from Milan to Venice. In 26 fine, the means of execution of the long-projected line front Rome to Ancona are under consideration. lint no government is more occupied about railways than so that of Sardinia. The line from Turin to Genoa is finished U between Turin, Al:mantilla, Novi, and Arqueta, to the foot 121 of the Apennines. Works not less gigantic than those of the I'd, Somnienng are at this moment in course of execution fur the ", passage over the Apennines between Arqucta and Genoa. ry It is supposed that they will be terminated in 1853, and the 20 port of Genoa, like Trieste, will then be able to dispute with us the passage to India. M. Magne was received at a Se private audience by the King of Sarliuia. Everything leads to the belief that during this interview, which lasted r e nut less than an hour, the King spoke to M. Magne of the projects of his F overnment for the execution of the rail way to unite Turin to Lyons, across Savoy and Mount IO Cenis. It is said that an English company has already treated with the Sardinian government for the concession of the line between Turin and Sum, and that the negotiations opened for the concessii , of the hue from Modena to Chambery, and the French frontier, are far advanced. Neither of the two sections of the line uniting the Piedmontese line to the French rail ways presents any serious difficulties; but between Modena and Sum Mount Cenis must be got through by means of a tunnel 12 kilometres (7i English miles) in length. M. Mousse, the engineer-ir -chief of the Turin to Genoa line, has invented an emeriti's; machine, by means of which he will be able, he thinks, to execute this gigantic tunnel in five years. The hon. minister having returned to France by Mount Cenis and Savoy, went over the direction sur veyed by the Piedmontese engineers, and was able to judge for himself of the possibility of this magnificent under taking, destined to cross the highest chain of mountains in Europe; and we hope that, when the Assembly shall have decided definitively relative to the Lyons and Avignon lines, it will seriously take into consideration a line to unite France to Italy. It will then be possible to say that there are no longer any Alps, and that with better reason than ; the great king said formerly, there were no Pyrenees.— : Conatitutionnel. LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.

With only a very limited business offering, the share market to-day, in sympathy with the other branches of the security markets, wears a drooping appearance, and prices generally have assumed a lower range. Great Westerns, Lancashire and York shires, and Midlands show the chief decline, but the prices obtainable now are rather better than at an earlier period of the day, though not equal to those of yesterday. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. There has been a little more than the usual flue- ' tuation in the English stock market to•day, as I two cr three transactions of some amount have occurred. Consols opened at yesterday's quotation of 961 to 4, and, after being sold at 1 lower, at 96'4, quickly rallied to 97 for cash. This, however, was not main tained, and they are now quoted the same as yes terday, at 96 1 to 1 both for money and Tuesday next. The government broker purchased as usual, and to this operation the maintenance of the market is partially attributable. The business prices of the day arc officially stated as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, 961, 97, 964 ; ditto for account, 961, Exchequer Bills arc well supported at the advance of Is., with a better inquiry than has been expe rienetal for some time; and India Bonds are still looking up. Bargains are marked in bills of all classes at 445. and 475. prem., and in India Bonds, smaller sizes, at 345. prem. Business iu the foreign stocks is extremely limited. The only business for investment consists of a few transactions in Russian, and of the specu lative descriptions Mexican is the only one touched. A very grave view is syserally taken of ass wadi tion of the finances and administration of the republic, but the point to which the attention of the bond holders is naturally more anxiously directed is that of the payment of the next dividend, and vtay earnest discussions arc going on upon the subject. A decided opinion is generally expressed that the authorities here ought at once to place before the creditors of the republic a full definite statement of their position and pro spects in this respect, stating both the amount of the remittances at present available and the sources from which the next payment is to be made, as it is perfectly palpable that the amounts that have as yet come to hand are quite insufficient, being variously estimated as equivalent to pay a dividend of Ito 1 • per cent. The inactivity of tho committee is much canvassed, as it is urged they ought at once to take measures to set the minds of their constituents at rest by procuring them full information. Supposing that sufficient resources arc available, it is argued that the property of the bondholders is being needlessly depreciated by the prevalent doubts, and if the worst view of the case be the correct one, the supineness of the com mittee is not the less culpable, as parties are being daily " let into" purchases of the stock upon the understanding of a three per cent. dividend. being faithfully met, according to the new engagement so solemnly made. Business is marked to-day as follows: Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., 381. Mexican Bonds, for account, 27, 261, 27,1. Russian Bonds, Five per Cent., 1111, ; ditto Four and-a-Half per Cent., 1011, ; ditto for account, 1014. Spanish Passive Bonds, C.I. The railway traffic returns for the last week, most of which are now published, continue to show a very marked increase, as compared with last year, which extends to nearly every one of the chief lines. The Loudon and North Western return is 61,7491. against 48,120/.in the corresponding week of last year, being an increase of 13,6231; the London and South Western, 13,649/. against 11,0821. - increase, 3,967; the Great Western, 26,236!. against 17,7201.—increase, 8,516!.; the Midland, 25,321/. against 24,6981.—increase, 6231.; the York and North Midland, 9,563/. against 9,3l6l.—increase, 2471.; the Bristol and Exeter, 5,232/., against 4,9s2l.—increase, 280/. ; the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 15,703/., against 16,4041. — decrease, 8011.; the Great Northern, 12,8881., against 6,Bl2—increase, 6,076/. ; the Shrewsbury and Ches ter, 1,801/., against 1,6721.--increase, 1321. ; the North StatiOrdshire, 5,0291., against o,oBs!.—de crease, 361. We are glad to find that Colonel Facio has at "length adopted the plan ofissuingformsLisotiesegtle amount of the Mexican remittances received by him, though an account of the total sum available in London for this purpose is still a desideratum. It is to be hoped that full details on a point of so much importance to the bondholders will be regularly given. The notification we have received is as bellows : Colonel Facio begs to inform the holders of Mexican Bonds that the following suntb ,on account of dividends have been received by the Webt India steamer just arrived : dolls, c.

From the committee of Spanish American bond holders we have received the following communica tion: _ . Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, 8, Broad-street-buildings, Oct. 8, 1651. - - - Tho committee of Spanish American bondholders have received this morning a letter from Mr. Lord, at La Guayra, dated the 10th of September, stating that, just before the departure of the mail, a communication had reached him from Caracas, that the agreement entered upon with the executive power had at last obtained the sanction of the Council of State, and that he, Mr. ford, expected to be able to inform the committee by the next packet of his having received the official confirmation thereof. From another source we have learned that the committee have received a remittance from the Vene zuelan government, and that the payment of the dividends will be resumed. Efforts arc being made to arran"e the affairs of the Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire Bank, and though the business of the bank and branches has been suspended, hopes ale held out that, within a few days, it will bo resumed, applications being made in several quarters for assistance. Meanwhile, great alarm prevails in the South Wales iron district. Exchange at nuis on London not onl s p keeps up, but on Tuesday was marked higher. 'ihere is no change in bullion. Advices from the United States announce that the cotton crop will be shipped from 20 to 30 days earlier this year ; if so, the transmission of bullion will most probably be affected. The Express has, in its Irish correspondence, called attention to the notification issued in Ireland for emigration to Peru. The notification is perfectly authentic, and we long since published the proposals of the Peruvian government. Their object is to in crease the European population by encouraging the immigration of Irish and South Germans, and they have appropriated the necessary funds, while there is no likelihood of their withholding the promised grants of land. For some time past the Peruvian government have been punctual in performing their engagements, and they have no sinister object in adopting the present measure. The surplus popula tion of Ireland would in this immigration be put in a position to become consumers of English goods. It is to be observed that the same movement for Euro pean immigration is taking place among all the South Pacific states, and there is thus every prospect of a great extension of the English language on all the borders of that great ocean. . , Messrs. John Railton and Sons, of Manchester, have published a further circular on the operation of a presumed investment made on the 26th April,lB.so, of 7331. 16s. 3d., the cost of one share in each of 23 lines enumerated, embracing a paid-up capital of 96,000,0001. They say : Referring to our List circular of 3rd July, 1851,—and now that you will have seen all the directors' reports of the last half-year's transactions, connected with the 23 lines of railway, embracing an miguaranteed capital of 96,000,0001—we place before you below our weekly obser vation on the fluctuation of one share in each lino since the 26th April, 1850, then amounting to 7331. 16e. 3(1. On the 19th March, 18.51, a profit of 54k per cent. was attainable, being the highest point it reached. Since then it fell to 261 per cent., on the 16th September, 1851.

She pretended that she could plunge her-elf ut is ill into a magnetic trance, by merely applying to her nose a little bag containing, as she said, some rare substance, but which turned out to he bits of a common plant ; and when in the trance she professed to reveal the past, to state what was passing in distant places, to predict the future, and to cure all manner of diseases. She charged fifteen francs for a first consultation, and ten francs for every one following. ller remedies consisted of different species of waters, which she called eau du lthio, eau du Jourdain, eau de consulte, eau du Nre Antonio, and eau des Carmelites ; she had also, for grave cases, other remedies, called the pommude de Mela, the topiquc lndien, and the baurne de Harleim. Some of these things were common quack medicines; others were made from bran and other articles. The price the woman charged for her waters was five francs a bottle, and her balms and pommades were equally dear. She had is very extensive connexion, and was accustomed to make trips into the country, in the course of which she also made numerous dupes. Some of her patient,' had great faith in her. One of them, for example, a M. Jules, baker, Rue St. Honore, 175, declared that she was better than all the physicians in the world. She had, ho said, frequently cured him of headache and other indisposi tions by prescribing a cup of tea with a few drops of runs in it. This declaration made the auditory laugh, but M. Jules said he did not care for the laughing, and that ho was convinced that she was a wonderful physician. She had only charged him, he added, five francs tor each pre scription, though her regular fee was 10f. Another wit ness, named lilaise, wood-dealer, Quai do la Rupee, said that his house had once been bewitched—the doors refusing to open, the keys dancing about in all directions, the win dows refusing to close, &c., but that the accused by her exorcisms had set all right again. He bad had a pain in the back, fur which she prescribed him drugs and waters; ho had applied them to the part affected, and blisters had been produced; but admitted that he had found no relief. In two years he . hail paid her as much as 1,500 f. for her remedies. His mother-in-law, who had also con sulted her, had, however, paid much more (5,000 f.), but then she had had the advantage of having administered an invaluable remedy concocted by two friends of the prisoner—one the Hermit of Posey, the other the Arch bishop of Constantinople. Amongst the sums which his mother-in-law had paid the accused was one of 500 f. for in ducing the archbishop, by the exercise of a certain magic art he possessed, to obtain a tenant for an unoccupied house at Bourg-la.Reine. The accused, being interrogated by the president, pretended that all she had done was for the sake of suffermg humanity. She was condemned to 13 months' imprisonment and 315 f. fine. A man, named Mar tini, whom she had picked up in the street, was sentenced to six months imprisonment, for having aided her in 601110 of her frauds by pretending to be the Archbishop of Con stantinople, and by reciting prayers which she prescribed in serious cases. A druggist, named Busquet, was fined 200 f. for having supplied some of her prescriptions, and sold cer tain secret remedies at her order.—Gaiignani, April May" Jaw July" Amu.,
