The result of the poll for the East Surrey election was officially announced yesterday by the High Sheriff, G . H . s m toto E3q., in the Town-hall, Croydon. The town was in a stets of excitement from an early hour, bands of music r arading the streets, and the successful party in the contest disposying various other manifesta tions of delight. This party, however, were doomed to divide the applause with a company that made a mere extensive and varied show of power. This was no other than Cook's Elneettian establishment,; and shortly before the arrival of the candidates the members of this company, both male and female, and including a couple of elephants, an ostrich, and several other animels of " foreign production,' marched in procession through the leading streets and thorough fares of the town. It was announced that the declara tion would take place at twelve o'clock, but punctuality is unknown in Surrey, and it was considerably past that time before the proceedings were commenced. The doors of the hall, however, ware thrown open at twelve o'clock, aad immediately afterwards the budding became thronged almost to suCcation. The casting-up" of the votes engaged the attention of the Sheriff for more than an hour, and in the meanwhile the "free and in dependents" amused themselves with passing sarcastic comments upon the conduct of two electors, one in the body of the hall and the other on the platform, who had deserted the Liberal for the Conservative side, and polled for Antrobus and Cleasby. One of them, it would seem, was a watchmaker, while the other was a shoemaker, and the " free and independents" offered them the alternative of being kicked out or singing a comic song; but the Sheriff coming upon the scene at this moment, neither alternative was enforced. The HIGH SHERIFF presented himself to the electors shortly before two o'clock, and said it was now his duty to commence the last act in the political drama of the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey.—(Hear, hear.) He had to inform them that the gross state of the poll *as as follows : Thomas Alcock, Esq.... 2,508 Locke King, Elci. ... 2,500 E. Antrobus, jun., Esq. ... 2,064 A. Cieesby, Esq. ... 1,928 giving a majority for Mr. Alcock over Mr. Antrobus of 444 votes, and for Mr. Lecke King over llr. Antrobus, of 436; and had therefore officially to declare that Thomas Alcock, Esq. and Locke King, Esq., had both been duly elected to servo as knights of the shire in the next Parliament, for the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey.—(Cheers.) Mr. ALcocK said the contest had been fought vigo rously on both sides, and it had been fought on all hands in a highly creditable manner.—(Hear, hear.) The peace of the county had not been disturbed, nor had any interrupt* taken place to trade, and he begged heartily to thank the Liberal electors who placed him at the head of the poll.—(Hear.) Being now the represen tative of the Eastern Division of the county, it would be his daty and pleasure to listen to the wants of either One side or the other, but more especially to attend to the nation's interests.--(Cheers.) A closer race had never been run for any Derby than this.—(A laugh.) It had been a neck and neck affair from beginning to end, and he hoped the Liberal electors would take care that the victory they had obtained should not be tar nished,—(lleac, hear.) Let the non-electors follow the example of their fellows in the West Riding of York shire, and became small freeholders, for the sake of the Parliamentary franchise.—(Hear, hear.) B y this means they could add at least 5,000 vote s t o the ail re gister, and as the purchase could be made with a prospect of 30 per cent., he hoped and believed his advice would be universally followed.—(H ear, h ear.) Law was now cheep, and some of that cheapness was due to Lord Darby, and the conveyances which he was recommending could be obtained at little expense.— (Hear, hear.) Now let Lord Derby go in the same direction with regard to the taxes up on t h e other neces saries of life, and the Noble Lord s h ou ld have his support.—(Hear, hear.) A man with 12 e. a week pa id a s much in taxes as the man who had 3,0001. Consols in the Bank of England paid in the shape of income-tax.—(Hear, hear.) For instance. while the income-tax on that amount was 41. 7 3 . 6d., his ploughman with 123. a week paid in ho shape o f indi rect taxes on his tea, So., 4/. 9s.—(Hear, hear.) Again thankinc , them for the honour they had done him, h e assured them that they mi g ht always rely upon his doing his duty, or he should expect to be paid off as he deserved when he came before them again.—(Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE KING said this was a glorious achievem en t for free trade. The battle had been nobly fought, and indeed nobly won, and his warmest thanks were due to the committees who had manage d the details of the election.—(Hear.) It was a triumph fo r the electors of East Surrey, becaus e it w ould be remembered ect that at the nomination it was the electors, and n ot their prevhioeuis Members, who were accused of having changed r opinions. —(Hear , hear.) It was said at the time, in fact, that East Surrey had been misrepre sented in Parliament for the last five years, bat the result of this election would satisfy the country that the charge was without foundation. — (Hear, hear.) He should go back to Parliament deter mined to oppose the present Government in every fair and legitimate way.—(Hear, hear.) It was a Govern meat utterly destitute of principle, and if he could have a treater day of pleasure than this it would be that in which he saw the Derby Gov ernmen t f a ll.—(H ear , hear.) He should,however, continue to su pp o rt the rights of the Crown, and while vindicatin g th e pr i nc i p l es o f the Constitution, he should do all in his power to destroy the abuses of the Established Church,—(Cheers.) a vobethotent Mr. ALcac x seconded, moved, and Mr. r hanks to the High Sheriff, which ...,OCKE KING was carried by acclamation, th a e nd eo t m he pli g meeGnz S the ilE Ri p rEoF having briefly acknowledged eeedings closed.

" The passage of the Prince is proceeding in the midst of manifestations of the most lively and the most sincere enthusiasm. On his arrival at Bar-le-Dac he was com plimented by the Mayor. The Prince entered his car riage, and a great part of the cortege accompanied him to the hotel of the Prefecture, where he dined. The entire population went out to meet him; all the houses were arrayed in the national colours; and the windows were crowded with ladies, elegantly dressed, sod who saluted the Prince with ardent acclamations.

EANSALL, with a jury to execute a writ of inquiry i n thi s case. this A t na t h o e r o n o g n , c l t u h s e i o n u o n f d e t r h e s h a e s rs c zt a i s r e . sCourt eeded For the plaintiff, Mr. W. H. Ad ams an d M r . S ergean t B i e the w s t e C r, , r p w r n o c Miller. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant, it appeared, had originally denied the making of the promise alleged in the declaration, but subsequently withdrew plea. This was, therefore, an execution of a writ inquiryissued by the C ourt of Exchequer to assess the damages. Mr. Sergeant Mita..F.n, in a lon g and effective speech, de tailed the various circumstances of thi s case, wh i ch are as fol low :The plaintiff, Fanny Bird, is now about 26 years of age, and was brought up at Ockerton at her father's house, which is 16 miles from Nottingham. Plaintiff's father is a farmer renting 150 acres of land near Southwell, and, besides the plaintiff, has two sons and a daughter. At Ladyday, 1850, plaintiff's father took a small farm of 36 acres, and a water corn mill at Sherland-park for the plain tiff's brother, Richard John Davidson Bird, who was then just about 22 years of age. B y the express wish of her parents the plaintiff went to keep her brother's house, he being a bachelor. Plaintiff accordingly left Ockerton on the Bth of April, 1850, and went to Shirland-park, having never been from home before, except as a visitor. On the day of her arrival she was introduced to Mr. George Bansall, the defendant. He was residing at Shirland-park-lane, a dis tance of about 400 yards from her brother's house. He was at this time within a month of the 20th year of his age— plaintiff being then in her 21th year. An intimacy soon sprang up between defendant and plaintiff, and he was in the constant habit of visiting Miss Bird at her brother's house, Mr. Bansall bringing books for the young lady to read, but making no offer of marriage, or any declaration, till Miss Bird had left her brother's house on a visit to a relative at Nottingham in the September following, when plaintiff re ceived a letter, of which the following is a copy : " Shirland-park, Sept. 29,1850. "My dear Miss Bird—l told you on the night we list met I should write to you. I now f u lfil my prom i se. F rom th e first time I saw you I admired you, and admiration has grown into love. You must have been aware of the atten tions I have paid to you of late ; and those attentions I wish, if you will consent, to continue; or, in other words, to be come a suitor for your hand, and from which I hope you will not withhold your consent? for if you do, I shall be one of the most miserable of mortals ; and if you do consent I shall be the happiest. Let me have your full opinion on the matter, as I shall be u neasy until I h ear f rom you . " am, my • dear Miss Bird, yours most devotedly, " GEORGE BANSALL" " N.B.—Di rect for me, Mr. Buxton's, Shirland, near . Al freton, Derbyshire. "Let thou be mine, and every wish Of mine would gratifi e d b e , For all m y h opes and all my joys Are centred firm in thee." To the foregoing, th e you n g lady sent a very judicious let ter, declinin g if h e required an answer so speedily. Plaintiff met the def en d ant at Mansfield fair the following week, Mr. in their gi g . Bansall we n t h ome with the young lady and her two brothers On the same day defendant stayed tea at the house of his charmer's brother, when the defendant asked plaintiff why she had not answered his letter, which he had not then apparently received. Plaintiff told defendant that she had answered the letter, and upon recapitulating the import of it, Mr. Bansall further pressed his suit, and the same evening she consented to receive his addresses. He was all this time under age. His father knew and approved of the engagement. S o did a l so th e f am il y of the young lady. While the defendant was at home he was usually over at his sweetheart's several times a day. His father and mo ther used also frequently to go to plaintiff's brother's house, and their visits were returned. When the courtship had gone on in this way for about six neonate, the defendant told plaintiff that his father was going to take a farm for him, and that they should soon be married, previous to entering upon it. During the time of the courtship he used to send poetry lowing : on slips of paper, such, for instance, as the fol- "Art thou not dear unto my heart, 0, search that heart, and see, Fanny Bird, And from my bosom tear the part That beats not true to thee, Fanny Bird. Yes, to this bosom thou art dear, More dear than words can tell, And if one fault be cherished there, 'Tis loving thee too well, Fanny Bird, 'Tis loving thee too well." (Great laughter.) In the early part of the courtship, on the 2d of November, 1850, he made plaintiff a present of a small book, " The Gift of Love and Friendship." On the inside of the corner he wrote— " The gift of one to whom she is most dear. November 2, 1850." In the month of February, 1851, he (being within three months of his majority), having succeeded in gaining the affection and working upon the fancy and imagination of the poor girl, seduced her under the promise of marriage. Find ing herself in the family way, she told defendant, where upon he replied, " You know the wedding-day is fixed, and it will be on that day." It was then fixed for the first Wednesday after the Ist of April. Plaintiff got the wedding clothes all ready—the ring was purchased, when about the last day of March the defendant came and put off the event in consequence of his father not having got the farm in which the young ,couple were to take up their abode. He said it must be put off for a short time ; but he still continued paying his visits as before, while she kept anxiously and unremittingly asking him to fix the day. Defendant asked plaintiff if her friends knew that she was in the family way. Plaintiff said " No," and she durst not let them know, upon which defendant proposed to get mar ried, and then go to Australia, and that it should be kept a secret about her being in the family way. Plaintiff con sented, and defendant wrote to Liverpool concerning the fares of passage, &c., and had two letters in reply. This, however, was soon abandoned, and one day, in July, 1851, when the plaintiff seemed in very low spirits, defendant said to her, "We will be married on the 31st of this month, and we shall keep it a secret, and not let them know" (meaning plaintiff's friends). And at this time, in order to assure her of the promise, he wrote in a blank leaf of the Gift of Friendship and Love these words:—" Mrs. F. Bansall's, Shirland-park Mill, Derbyshire, July 5, 1851." Defendant, however, did not come near his ffianced on the .;let as promised, and visibly began to cool in his attach ment. Plaintiff stayed at her brother's until October 9, when she went home to her father's, where she was con fined on the 23d of a female child. Plaintiff applied to her seducer, by letter, after the birth of the child, to know what his intentions were ; but no reply came. When she went to her brother's in 1850, she was a sprightly young girl, at tractive in her appearance, and well educated, boasting of not a few intellectual as well as personal charms. When she she avoided crossing the threshold of the door, came back to her father, and for some time previous to that, she was sad and melancholy ; she did not face her father for y s s een by none. Her distracted state of mind and midnight in her bedroom, where she remained night, weeping broken made permanent impression a upon her health, and down an excellent constitution. The two brothers of the young lady and her mother were called as witnesses. The two former proved that the defen hanerd whole w d as a d a y defen dant bad frequently told them that all his father's property, worth from 6,0001. to 8 ,0004, was entailed upon him ; and, and had further, that his aunt Bland would leave him a legacy of 5001. The evidence of the mother was very affecting. She seemed a highly respectable person, and spoke with much feeling of the change which had taken place in her daughter's health and happiness. Miss. Bird had evidently been the li g ht of was lively the household. " whil e she was with us," said the o ld lady, "she and cheerful, and she seemed to ma ke US all SO happy.. One of the plaintiff's brothers proved the handwriting ofseveral poetical effusions from Mr. Bansall to his betrothed, among which was one written in blank verse, of which we append a copy : Fanny, I love thee still, my heart Thrills to thy voice, I live for thee ; Absence has not produced forgetfulness. No, I cherish a never-ceasing remembrance. I entertain a pure and ardent affection for you, Though in silence an engagement is the obstacle T o a confession ; but I will not despair, but live in hope. Oh, forget me not. lam your captive.

I desir ball e a ll not c return hange mof affecti e on. . Time s I remain for ever your devot e d a d orer. " The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up, the jnry retired. In a brief space th e y re t urne d i n t o court, and assesse d the damages at 800/, Th e verdict seemed to give grea t sat i s f ac ti on t o the par ties present. EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY. • On Saturday last a meecing of the shareholders of this company- was held at the offices in Cornhill, Mr. 11. H. Lind say in the chair. The report, which extended over forty pages, was chiefly devoted to a statement of the matters in dispute between the company and Sir James Brooke. On the subject of the state of the company's affairs at Labuan, the report stated that there could he no luestion as to the value of the mi neral deposit of coal, or of the ultimate success of the com pany's undertaking if conducted with ordinary prudence and economy. From the Beach Level, which was the main working, an amount of 200 tons of coal might be expected as the month's winning with seven men at work, but as the side workings become more perfect, the superintendent con fidently expected to win from 450 to 500 tons per month from this level alone. The discontinuance of No. 2 Level was recommended for the present. No. 3 Level was about to be opened in an outcross of the coal at the height of from 45 to BO feet from the Beach Level. When these two levels were in full operation, it was expected that the demand for all purposes would be amply supplied. The railway from No. 3 Level was progressing satisfactorily, and would be opened in a month or six weeks. The coaling operations of the company at Labuan to the end of February last, were as follow :—Supplies to ships on the Labuan station, 2,769 tons; to Singapore, 4,127; to Hong -Kong, 330; stock on hand, 1,440. The directors concluded an arrangement with the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the supply, at Singapore, of 400 tons per month, at the average price at which English'coals were delivered to them at that port. The directors deemed it probable that a considerable de mand would arise for the use of the Indian railways when they came into successful operation. The American, Spanish, and French authorities were in correspondence with the agent of the company at Singapore respecting the supply of Labuan coal for the steam vessels of their respective Government's navigating the eastern seas. The directors congratulated the shareholders on the ratification by the Sultan of Borneo of the grant of the coal on the main land, thus defeating the intrigues of Sir James Brooke to wrest this inaportatit concession irom the company for the advancement of his own commercial speculations. 'The total number of nem employed by the company amounted to 232. The directors had received samples of cotton grown at Labuan of the same class as those of the Sea Island and Pernambuco, averaging 7d. per lb. The direc tors ordered an acre or two to be planted as an experiment. The gross receipts for coal sold amounted to 8,4061. Ils. The directors proposed in future to write off annually from the revenue account at least 1,5001. in gradual liquidation of the balances connected with the original formation of the com pany's establishments, and of those arrears which now ap peared at the debit of the account. The discovery of anti mony ore on the main land of Borneo was an event of con siderable importance, and the directors had taken steps to re-open for the benefit of general commerce the trade in this valuable staple which had hitherto been monopolised by Sir James "Brooke. Mr. Motley, the company's superintendent, had ascertained in the course of inquiries which he had made with a view to the purpose of leasing the Bintula district, that the native chiefs had received a letter from Mr. Cruik shank, Sir James Brooke's deputy at Sarawak, threatening them with a visit of a British man-of-war in the event of their allowing any European to work the antimony mines in that country. Mr. Motley scarcely crediting that such a document existed, offered a reward for its production. This step, which Sir James Brooke represented as a conspi racy, the directors entirely approved of. The report then proceeded to notice the legal proceedings instituted by Sir James Brooke against the company, and adverted to the " extraordinary spectacle offered to the public view by the stepping forward of a colonial governor to invalidate, and, if possible, to annul a charter granted by her Majesty, on the pretence that it was obtained fraudulently." In answer to this latter charge, the report set forth the memorial to the Queen, in which the grounds on which the charter was ob tained were stated. The report then went on to rebut the next assertion of Sir James Brooke, viz.: " That the subsequent conditions, on the due performance whereof the efficiency, stability, and success of the company de pended, have never been performed." In this statement Sir James Brooke no doubt alluded to the question of the certificate signed by the directors respecting the company's capital recently decided in an adverse manner by the Court of Queen's Bench, on technical grounds. By the terms of the charter it was required that 50,000/. capital should be paid up in money within a certain period. In consequence of the unparalleled pressure on the money market, it was found impossible to comply with this condition literally, and they thereforecas eth applied r t e t r o ed th c e om ß p o a ad n r ies o , f th l e 'ra t d ra e, ns t fe b r at v , al a u s e ient. the rights and property of the company might be considered as capital. That the Board of Trade recognise this prin ciple was shown by a letter, addressed by the late legal assistant of the board, Sir Stafford N. Northcote, in which he says, " Whether we were right or wrong in allowing the property to be reckoned as part of the paid-up capital, we did it with our eyes open." The recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench did not necessarily lead to the abrogation of the charter; and, if the Crown were even ad vised to revoke it, or to refuse to grant another charter (both events, in the opinion of the directors, almost impossible), the extension and valuable property of the company was not comprised in the issue. The report next proceeded to reply to the attempts of Sir James Brooke to depreciate the mineral property of the company in Labuan and Borneo, and gave several extracts from letters from Sir James Brooke himself to Mr. Wise, one of the directors, from which it appeared that he considered the cession of coal by the Sul tan to be of great value, and that a considerable revenue might be derived from other sources, such as the diamond mines and the monopoly of antimony and opium. In one of his letters to Mr. Wise, dated August 31st, 1847, he says, " And, if you make your fortune, as you expect, you may make me a present of a few thousand pounds." In another letter, dated Singapore, March 14th, 1843, he says, " On my own part, the cession will be made on easy terms, such as a moderate salary as governor, on the same terms as any other governor, the employment of the few pers ons who have followed my fortunes at fair sala ries, the purchase of whatever stock in trade may be on my hands, and a present of a certain sum in the shares of the company--which would make my success dependent in a great measure on theirs. and enable me to reward the gentle men with me." In spite of Sir James Brooke's persevering efforts to retard the progress of the company, the directors were happy to state that only 175/. remained in arrear on three calls, amounting to 30,000/, whilst no less than 20,5851. had been paid in advance on future calls—an evi dence of confidence on the part of the contributors which could not but be satisfactory to the other shareholders. In p co a n id clu th si e o r n e , o t n h ., e directors stated th a t if any part i es desired to be relieved from their shares there were ot h ers rea d y to ac cept an assi gnment o f t h em and to return the full amount The CiLtutmAx, in moving the adoption of the report, said that it 'contained so full an exposition of their affairs that it was scarcely necessary for him to add another word. All that Idae directors wished and asked for was an open and searchin,g inquiry into everything i n d i spute between them and Sir James Brooke. They wer e now of necess i ty com pelled to conduct their defence upon narrow an d tec h n i ca l grou r, .ids, whereas if her Majesty's G overnment grante d a ic inquiry, either by a Select Co mm i ttee of t h e H ouse o f ntmons, or in any other form, their first act would be to produce all their accounts and correspondence from the for mation of the company up to the present date. They distinctly denied every charge made by Sir James Brooke against the co m p a ny ; at the same time they offered hi m ever y facility prove them. If he did so, let the Government plainly state that the directors were no longer worthy of the public confi dence, but if the result of the inv es ti ga tion plainly Preed V that they had acted through ou t , not only as honour able; ~ straightforward men, but had sh own di sc retion and Jt.luglnent in th e m anagement of th e company ' s a ffairs, in Trc um stancss of great difficulty, then they claimed from her Majesty's Government that protection from tyranny and in justice to which they were justly entitled, and which they felt certain' - Would not be withheld. The company , had been charged by Mr. 11. Drummond, in the H ou se of Commons, with fraud, in enforcing the truck system on their servants in Labuan. It was a curious fact that the company never heard a word of such a charge till it was publicly made by Mr. Drummond on the authority of Sir James Brooke ; one would have thought that some inquiry would have been made of the directors to ascertain if such a charge were really w ell-founded. That, however, was not done. The moment the directors heard of this charge they sent Mr. O'Reil Companyan who had been employed by the East India in surveying the Tenasserim provinces, to inquire into the fact, and to dismiss any one who had been guilty of such conduct. After six days of the closest in vestigation, during which witnesses from every part of the country were examined, and brought face to face, he reported that there was not the shadow of foundation for the charge. Such was the open, manly, English way in which the company proceeded. Let him con trast the way in which the company proceeded with that Pursued by Sir James Brooke. Sir James Brooke, finding that the chae was denied, got the secret depositions o f s i x P L eeple, taken by Mr. Lowe , one o f the ma g istr ates of La han, stating that the truck system was practised by the uC ompany. This was a proceeding which most closely re sembled the Spanish Inquisition in the sixteenth century than the practice of a British subject in the nineteenth. (H ear, hear.) Having stated what took place with regard to the truck system, what faith could they place in the testi 171°nY of Sir James Brooke upon other points?

Great statesmen should every now and then be in duced or compelled to retire for a while from the public service. The busy intellect cannot subside into slothfu:- ness and inactiviey. It must occupy itself about some thing, and that something is generally of a useful nature. There was poor Sir Robert Peel, for example; when the doors of the Treasury were shut in his face, we do net find him taking to French novels and cheroots, but to the im provement of agriculture. Subsoil ploughing and drain age became the serious occupations of his life. When a man of such a stamp throws himself with all the energy cf his character into terming, it is certain that his example and his advice must be of great advantage to the community. We may now geote Lord Palmer• ston as another illustration of the same principle —and by a strange coincidence the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs is following close in the wake of the late Premier. Sir Robert was ail for drainage, Lord Palmerston is equally devoted to manures. The same activity of mind which could extort golden compensation for Don Pacifico from the ruins of the Parthenon—or turn Europe topsy-turvy in the pursuit of ideal kingdoms in Northern Italy—or rivet the suffer ing Rowcliffe to the rock amidst the jeers of the Tiverton electors, has now taken a more practical turn. The Noble Viscount is determined to relieve our great towns from their dirt, and our small farmers from their difficulties, by one and the same operation. Well done, Lord Palmerston: Younger men might take a leaf out of your book, with credit to them selves and advantage to the public. We have frequently had occasion to take the ex-SEcretary to task tor his perilous pastimes with the map of Europe; but his rest ices activity has at length chosen a field of exertion in which it can be productive of nothing but good. Let him go on as he has begun, and we promise him our warmest and steadiest support—at least in his move ment for manure. It was at a public dinner given on Thursday last at Lewes—in the very heart of the Protectionists—that the cheerful Viscount burst upon the world in his new character. Lord Ducie had mentioned in the course of a speech which he addressed to the as sembled agriculturists, that the want of manure was felt so greatly by the farming community, and the price of guano was so heavy, that the Royal Agricultu ral Society of Sussex had proposed a premium of 1,0001., and offered a gold medal, for the discovery of a manure equal to guano, and capable of being sold at a mo derate price. Little did he calculate upon the promp titude in conception and action of one of his au dience. Fresh from his triumphs on the banks of the Exo, and without any prospect of foreign excite rat nt until Parliament shull have assembled, the ex- Foreign Secretary was there ready for medals, 1,0001. Dotes, agricultural plaudits, or anything that might promise sufficient excitement. Lord Ducie brought his observations to a conclusion, and in half-a-dersn words Lord Walsinghnm proposed prosperity to "agriculture, manufactures, and commerce." " That's just what I represent," thought Lord Palmerston, " so 'tis my turn now." Accordingly, we find it recorded that Lord Palmerston "rote " and delivered one of those atter dinner speeches which nobody but himself—out of a novel—would have had the face to address or the tact to make palatable to such an audience. Ile told them a good deal about the magistrates of the borough of Lewes and the Romans, and how that an• cient township was closely connected with the conquerors of the world at the time of their triumphs and their splendour. It is, perhaps, astonishing that our lively friend did not attribute the whole of Rome's prepon derance among the nations to its connexion with the an cient town of Lewes. At any rate the mention of the Romans brought him to the public works executed by that great people— " Imperial wonders wrought by nations spoiled." The quotation was, of course, suggestive of our own railroads and the shareholders in such under takings, who, as Lord Palmerston hopes, are not "spoiled," but largely benefited in a pecuniary sense by the assistance they have afforded to these enter prises. "The Romans had no railroads; nor, now I think of it, did they know much about chemistry; which, by the bye, beings me to the subject of guano." Such is the substance of the train of thought by which Lord Palmerston arrived at the following view of our own case, which app ears to us, however humorously it may have been delivered, to be more worthy of our farmers' meditations than all the Protection balsam which has been poured into their wounds from 1846 downwards; to the present time. " Instead of sending to the other end of the world for manure for our fields, we shall find something, if not quite as good, within a few hundred yards of our dwel hugs. Now, gentlemen, I have heard a definition of dirt. I have heard it said, that dirt is nothing but a thing in a wrong place. Now the dirt of our towns precisely corresponds with that definition. The dirt of our towns ought to be upon our fields, and if there could be such a reciprocal community of interest between the country and the towns—that the country should purify the towns, and the towns fertilise the country—l am much disposed to think the British farmer would care less than he does, though he might still care something, about Peruvian guano." Tho subject has generally been avoided because it is supposed to be of a somewhat unsavoury na ture. This all comes of taking things by the wrong end. The most delicate lady in the land will trip daintily amidst the fruit and flower stalls of Co vent-garden, inhale lovingly the fragrance of the huge strawberries, or handle the portentous stalks of aspara gus. " Shall we tell you, lady, what it is you hold in your hand? We have not the face to speak it out; but go to Carlton-gardens. Call upon Lord Palmerston, and he will tell you all about it, and you will leave him not disgusted, but amused." Well, well, results and not processes are for susceptible minds; but pro cesses we must have in some shape or another, or we are likely to have but a beggarly show of results. P eruv i an guano, it would seem, is out of the question at its present exorbitant rate. Even Lord Pal merston has been unable to find a flaw in the title of the Peruvians to those interesting rocks which have served the birds of the Pacific as "cloak rooms" for centu ries past. They have a right to the fragrant commodity; and, speaking as men of the world, we cannot blame them for screwing out the best possible price for the merchandize. There is but one way of obtaining it at a cheaper rate, which would be by entering into com petition with the sharp-witted citizens of this South American community, and pruviog to them that, un less they choose to dispose of their guano at a rea sonable rate, they may keep it to themselves. Now we have it i n our po wer to enter into suc h competi tion with the slightest possible delay. We call the attention of the British farmer to the fact that if the scheme answers—and the experiment has always suc ceeded whenever it has been tried—not only will he ob tain a cheap manure at home, but he will have guano at much the same rate. "For an expenditure per acre," said Lord Palmerston the other day, " far less than that which produces ono manuring of Peruvian guano, you may establish permanent arrangements, by which, bringing from the towns fertilising liquids, you would improve your property, and a permanent improvement would be made in the land at a far less expense than is now required to produce a single crop." Such is the plain and unexaggerated truth, and the farmers of England, as we before said, would do well to abandon all thoughts of protection, " shifting of burdens," or " revision of our entire fiscal system," as the new catchpenny cry is called, and endeavour, with all the energy of men who see their interest very clearly indicated, to obtain manure for the laud at a reasonable rate. Even the Chancellor of the Exchequer tells them there is nothing under heaven for it but to lower the cost of production. We tell the English farmers, too, what we have told them for the last seven years, that they are the m ere d upes and victims of these talking gentry who go about from hustings to hustings, and from farmers' club to farmers' club, p ro mising them as sistance by a l eg i slative thunderclap. The tbing is one entire system of humbug —we wa nt plain words—from beginni ng to en d . There is not one farmerr for all the in the em pire who will ever b e a penny the richer columns of talk which Lord Derby and his Chancellor i of the Exchequer pour forth volu bility. A pound of guano, :bth such exceeding ottle of liquid manure, would be more to the purpos e than it all put together, Times.
