Dr. Ryan delivered his second lecture on the che mical properties of the elementary bodies entering into the composition of plants and soils, before the members of the Royal Agricultural Society, at the theatre of the Polytechnic Institution, on last evening. In the preceding lecture he confined himself to an illustration of the elements of the organic parts of plants, and on the present occasion' he pro ceeded to describe the constituents of the inorganic bodies 4 in earths and vegetables, such as phosphorus, sulphur, -iorine, silica, &C. Phosphorus is found extensively in various kinds of socks, as well as in plants and animals, The remains of bones, after being burned, consist of phos phate of lime, which is composed of phosphoric acid and lime. The lime may be got rid of by adding sulphuric acid, for which it • hies a stronger affinity than tor the phosphoric acid, and the latter is thus collected separately. The phosphoric acid being composed of phosphorus and oxen, the addition of a little carbon, with which the oxygen will at once unite, leaves the phosphorus pure. The decomposition of rockt communicates the phosphorus to the soil ; from thence it is taken up by plants, conveyed by them to animals, and on their destruction returns again to the earth. Chlorine is another of these elementary bodies. Combined with sodium it forms common table salt, and united with lime it is extensively . used in bleaching and also in clt.tring the atmosphere from infectous vapours. The washerwomen of the metropolis have unfortunately found eut its value latterly in cleansing linen, as when employed in large quantities it is injurious to the texture of cloths. It is for this reason that manufacturers insert at the ends of their fabrics some red threads, such as may be often seen at the tops of cotton stockings, in order to ascertain whether they are too much bleached, as in such case the red appears faded. Silicon is the base of silica which is its oxide. It forms in various combinations silicate of sods, silicate of lime sili cate of potassium, &c., all of which enter into the composi tion of soils. Silica is found in sand and flint, and is the principal ingredient in glass. It is the substance of the thin glass or varnish which forms the outer surface of a wheat stalk, and by the strength which the it imparts, enables the straw to support the ght ear. Sulphur is also found in soils and plants. It is the origin of the disagreeable odour of assafcetida, of garlick, and various other vegetables. It combines with oxygen in the proportion of one part of sulphur to two parts of oxygen to form sulphurous acid, the smell of which is that of an ignited lucifer-match, and also in the proportion of one part sulphur and three parts oxygen in sulphuric acid or oil of vitriol. Gypsum is sulphuric acid and lime. There are also various metallic elements in plants and soils. They are potassium, a metal lighter than water, and which burns with a rose coloured flame. It enters largely into the composition of plants, and is obtained from potash, or the ashes of burnt wood: sodium is another - of these metals, and may be known from the preceding by urning with an oranr flame; it is found in the ashes of sea weeds, and eitters into the composition of sails in the various forms of nitrate of soda cabonate of soda, sulphate of sods., phosphate of soda, 'itc. r A third metal is calcium, which is the base of lime. Marble, lime stone, chalk, coral, shells, and various other bodies are all carbonates of lime. Water else contains in solution large quantities of this substance. Carbonate of li limeme contains s even parts of carbonic acid t o nine parts of , and in this form is not soluble in water ; but with the addition of two more parts of the acid it becomes bi-carbonate of lime, and is then soluble in water, and can be taken up by vegetables; iron is also present in its oxides in ail soils and plants; ailsinsinurn and magnesium likewise enter into various salts found in most soils. Magnesium liestone cotains fm twenty-five to forty-two per cent. of carbonate of n magne r si o a, from which Epsom salts is procused by the application of sulphuric acid. This has given rise to the remark that if Westminster Abbey, which is built of this rock, were co vered with water and sulphuric acid, it would be changed into Epsom &alto. Dr. Ryan concluded by remarking that his object in these lectures was not to enter into the effects of these elementary bodies in agriculture, but merely to enable the members of the society to com prehend more easily than they otherwise might do the works on agricultural chemistry which, no doubt, ninny of them were in the habit of studying.

Barley sells slowly at lower rates. Oats unaltered, with a fair retail demand. Some prime new Beans realised 18a. per 1961 b. Peas rather more enquired for.

Best Wheat barely supper ed last week's prices; middling and inferior samples was from s'. to 10s per load cheaper. Barley showed a tendency to fall in price; malting samples Is. per quarter; grinding and other sam ples, 2s. lower. Oats also were offered at Is. per quarter less money. Beans, Peas, and Tares nominally the same as last week. LIMERICK, DEC. 9.-We had scarcely any Wheat at market to-day, not more than forty or fifty eags, and price must be quoted merely nominal in consequence, although so high as 2s. Id. per stone was paid. Some pre pared parcels have been purchased at 40a. per barrel by millers, for immediate use. Oats in limited supply, and quickly taken at 15d. and upwards. Of Barley there is but little at market, price 15d. to 16d per stone. Weather fine and open ; cold, but no tendency to frost ; wind, N.N.W. WATERFORD, DEC. 9.-With but moderate sup plies of grain since Saturday, prices of all description of corn have had an upward tendency. Wheat must he noted dearer by 3d. to 641. ; Barley, by 3d. ; Oats, by 3d. to 6.1. per boll. Flour commands a ready sale at an advance of fal. per sack. Indian Corn has again risen Is. to 2s. per boll., and goes largely into consumption at this improvement in prices. EDINBURGH, DEC. 9.-At this morning's market we were well supplied with all sorts of corn from the growers ; the quality generally was much improved by the sharp (rata we have experienced lately. Choice samples of Wheat met a slow demand at about former prices, while to effect a clearance of middling and inferior parcels a decline of Is. per quarter had to be submitted to. A moderate business I was done in English and foreii:_n, but the rates of this day week were barely supported. Barley was difficult of sale, without yielding the turn in favour of buyers. There was a brisk demand for the large supply of Oats, at an advance of 6d. per quarter. White Peas an better request at late rates. No change in Beans. DUNBAR, DEC. 8.-There was a large supply of all kinds of grain, especially of Oats, in our market to-day. Sales were more easily effected than last dry. Prices for Wheat are better, but other kinds remain much the same. Wheat, weighing Whs. brought 6 51 . and pricen to 60s. Barley, weighing 50116.., brought 655., and prices to 28s. Oats, weighing 4211 b., brought 32. 50s. and prices rice to 27.. Beans and Peas, weighing 6511 b., brought and pto 475. GLASGOW, Dr.e. 2.-We have this week to report small supplies of Wheat and Barley coastwise, via G forrangmer, e mouth. From abroad 850 quarters et the and 2,150 of the latter have constituted 'the arrivals; and those from Ireland have been comprised in about 1,500 quarters Oats. Of Flour 2,560 barrels have berms re!. ceived from Canada. There has been little-passing in Wheat , since the date of our last circular, and priced have not varied. Flour has met • moderate demand at oaf iewrious quota tions. The few parcels of milling Oats efferiag have Mind r eady buyers at former rates. The marke t havin g become bare of Barley, the advance last quoted was ermlynaaported. Several orders for Barley, Flour, and Indian Corn h av e come to hand from Ireland ; but of the latter arti cle there is none here at present. At this day's market the chief business done was on Irish acessint. A parcel of Odessa hard Wheat was bought for shsp meat to Limerick at 28s per boll. The local demand was not active, but very full prices were required for both Wh toeat and Flour. Fine milling Oats being scarce, sold at 6d. ls. advance ; but in the value of light descriptions there was no alteration. For the little Barley otferiner. 6d. to Is. per boll over last week's prices was obtained, and some orders from Ireland could not be executed.

Bal a t ehhrt4thrtha We oonsider a t Orion head an ste d e f r o , re b !l lgi u on arte n n g t t h o of the latter a perfect model. Class I. is an sasemblage of very good oxen, but free from the restrictions imposed on Magill., consequently of less merit in attaining to the excel lence they exhibit. The prize ox in this class, is a beautiful Hereford steer, bred by Mr. T. Roberts, and fed by Mr. W. Trinder. Class 111., restricted as to weight and also food, is of a very superior character. We very much admire H.R.H. Prince Albert's ox, which takes the first prize in this class; sad in our jud gment displays more symmetrical beauty than the one in Clam 11., already alluded to. Both were bred by Mr. T. Roberts. of Iviagton, Bury. Classes IV. and V. offer nothing remarkable, the quality of them see however very good ; but Class VI. possesses great in terest. It is formed this year for the first tune, in compliance with the request of some members of the club, urged at the committee meeting in 1845. It is instituted for oxen of the Scotch, Welsh, and Irish (Kerry) breed. On this occasion it comprises 6 Highland, 3 Aberdeenshire, I Angus, I old Scotch, and 1 Durham and Scotch ox. Only one prize is given, which was taken by Mr. John Rob, of Think, for I a most splendid animal. Although our space is limited, we cannot refrain from pressing on the committee the n et encouraging this class by giving two prizes. Thi= oxen are a beautiful breed, especially the West Highlanders, and well adapted to the requirements of the public. Classes VII. VIII., and IX are for fattened cows, in which we found little to interest ; the greater part are however very -goal, but some see mother unseemly. In the extra stock are some fine specimens. We especially noticed a beautiful little Highland Soot and Durham heifer. the property of B.R.H. Prune Albert, and two West Highlanders, belonging to Mews. Carmichael; also a very handsome Hereford ox, ex cluded from Class V., being above the restricted weight. epee will not allow of our entering further into detail, lbw whisk we refer our readers to the already published statement. The beautiful Hereford breed decidedly takes the lead this year. The Devons may be ranked second. The short horns we think quite in the back ground. The Scotch, as we have already said, are a very interesting clan. We are exceedingly pleased with the sheep. Amongst the downs, the prizes are mostly taken by Mr. Samuel Webb, of Brahaham. There are only three classes of this description of stock. Two first prizes of 201., with silver medals, and one gold medal, also one silver medal for extra stock are awarded to Mr. Webb. The prize in the other class, of 101. and a silver medal, are awarded to Mr. Goodlake. In the extra stock we observed a beautiful sheep, bred by Mr. C. Tomaon, of Sundon, being a cross of Down and Gloucester. We commend this cross to the notice of breeders. The long wools are very much improved ; they are priacipally Leices ter. The first prize of 201. and silver and gold medals is awarded to Mr. Painter, of Burley-on-the-Hill, for three very superior Leicesters, bred from rams hired of Mr. R. Smith, of Burley-on•the-Hill, who has attained deserved celebrity as a breeder. The pigs are, as usual, pro digious masses of fat. The collection in this department maintains its usual character. The implement department is mach extended this year, and well furnished with many novelties. We are sorry in closing this statement to say that the trade for the cattle seems hitherto to have been bail, pro bably occasioned by the state of the weather, which has, however, improved this morning. The only sales made yesterday of animals which have lobtained prizes or commendation, were the following:— In Class Vl.—Mr. John Rob's 4 years' old Highland oz, which obtained the prize of 101., was purchased by Mr. Clayton, of Great Marlborough-street. In Clam VII.—Mr. W. Trinder's 3 years and 10 months' old short.horned heifer, bred by Mr. George Hewer, of Ear lira on , Gloucestershire, which obtained t he first p rize of 201,, and a silver medal to the breeder, was bought by Mr. Collingwood, of Abingdon. His Royal Highness Prince Albert's two years and eleven months' old Highland Scot and Dotham heifer in this class, bred by Mr. Milne., of Downham Norfolk, was purch as ed by Mr. T. Cowell, Brook-street, Hyde-park-gardens. In Class VIII.—Sr George Phillips' 5 years and 7 months old improved short-homed cow, bred by himself, which ob tained the second prize of 101., was sold to Mr. Smith, of Lower Marsh, Lambeth. In Class IX.—Mr. John Booth's 9 years and 10 months' old short-horned cow, bred by himself, which obtained the first prize of 1.51., with a gold medal, as the best cow, and a silver medal to the breeder, was purchased by Mr. Lawrence, of Rugby. The animal has had five calves. Mr. John Hall's 12 years and 4 months' short-horned cow, bred by the late E rl Spencer, which obtained the second prize of 51., was bought by Mr. Righton, of Reading. This animal has had eight calves. In extra stock, his Royal Highness Prince Albert's High land Scot and Durham heifer bred by Mr. Wines, of Down ham, Norfolk, which obtained a silver medal in this division, was purchased by Mr. King, of Brighton. The sales of sheep and pigs were very . few. Mr-John Painter's pen of Leicester wethers, which in the long wool class obtained the first prize of 201., as well as a gold and sil ver medal, were bought by Mr. Budge, of Lambeth-walk. ROMSEY FAT CATTLE Sliow, DEC. 10.— The Christmas show took place this day, although there were not so many Oxen and Sheep as some were led to believe, yet those brought were of the best quality, and in the finest con- Sheep' fat Oxens and Heifers, and the pens of Wether and Ewes of the pure South Down, were much admired ; the Calves were excessively fat ; and the Pigs fed to suffocation, yet they found many admirers. The day though cloudy was tolerably tine for the season of the year, which induced many to go and view the mo' titers of fat and repletion. Nearly all were disposed of at great prices, several of the Oxen making between 401. to 501. each ridin , and the Sh gion eep from 31. 10. to 51., rainy butchers pg th having a prize animal, or more in their 'hope at Christmas. The Swedish turnips were very fine, though not so large as those of lavt year. The dinner took place at the White Hart Inn, which was fairly attended, the worthy host catering in his usual sty le of excellence. OVERLAND ROUTE.--WC understand that Lieut. Waghorn left Dover last night, in order to superintend the transmission of the next Tneste express. He was accompa nied by Mr. Austin, the civil engineer, and assistants, who are to be employed upon some surveys through Naples and , I the Papal States. COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half -past Two.—Without any variation of prices t o notice, the funds have a heav y appearance. The habi tual dealers and speculators seem at a loss for a basis on which to found operations, whether for a fall or rise. The nearing approach of the payment of one of the two largest dividends in the year, when so considerable en amount of money must he thrown into circulation, no small portion of which, as usual, may seek inv. stment in the funds, and so help to maintain or to raise prices, acts naturally to deter patties who might be disposed otherwise t o operate on the calculatio n of a depress ion.
