"The result of the poll for the East Surrey election was officially announced yesterday by the High Sheriff, G. R. Smith, Esq., in the Town-hall, Croydon. The town was in a state of excitement from an early hour, bands of music parading the streets, and the successful party in the contest displaying various other manifesta tions of delight. This party, however, were doomed to divide the applau se w i t h a company th at ' made a more extensive and varied show of power. This was no other than Cook's Equest?ian evableihment; and shortly before the arrival of the candidates the members of this company, both male and female, and including a couple of eleph an t s , an ostrich, and several. other animals of " foreign production," marched in precession 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 wiknown in Surrey, and it was considerably past that ti, are before the proceedings were comme n ce d . The Mors of the hail, however, ware thrown open at twelve o'clock, and immediately afterwards the building became thronged almost to suffocation. The " casting-up" of the 'vote s engaged the attention of the Sheriff for more *has an hour, and in the meanwhile the "free and in dependents" amused themselves with passing sarcastic t,ehements upon the conduct of two electors , one in t he forty of the hall and the other on the platform, who had `if'serted 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 Lie!, the alternative of being kicked out or singing a Com is song; but the Sheriff coming upon the scene at this moment, neither alternative was enforced. The than SHERIFF presented himself to the electors a'nortly before two o'clock, and said it was now his duty to commence the last aat in the political drama of the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey.—(Hear, hew.) He had to inform them that the gross state of the poll was as follows : Thomas Alcock, Esq.... 2,508 Lock., King, Esq. ... ... 2,500 E. Antrobus, jun., Esq. . ... 2,064 A. Cleasby, 1,928 .2ivihr; a majority for 11r. Aleock over Mr. Antrobua o) 444 ',rotes, and for Mr. Locke King over Mr. Antrobus, ref 436 ; and had therefore officially to declare that Thomas Alcock, Esq. and Locke King, Eiq., had both been duly elect e d to serve as knights of the shire in the next Parliament, for the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey.—(Cheers.) ALcocx said the contest had been fought vigo rously on both sides, and it had been fought oa all hands in a highly creditable manner.—(Elear, hear.) The Peace Of the county had not been disturbed, nor had aay ireerruptidin taken place to trade, and ha begged 4 elter, t) thank the Liberal elector s who pl a c e d him at the need of the poll.—(llear.) Being now the represen tar:ive of the Eastern Division of the county, it world be hj.s duty and pleasoses to listen to the wants of either 'nue aide 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 %neck and neck affair from beginni ng to end, and he ) a oped the Lib era l e l ectors would take car e that the vie ' tory they had obtained s h ou l d not betar niahed.—(l ear , h ear .) Let the non -el ectors follow the example of their fellows in the West Riding of York shire, v.nd become small freeholders, for the sake of the Parlie.mentary franchise.—(Hear, hear.) By this means they could add at least 5,000 votes to the re iii!r,er, and as the purchase ceuld be made sre'ith a prospect of 30 per cent., he hoped and believed 7:tis advice would be universally followed.—(gear, hear.) Law was now cheap, and some of that cheapness was due to Lord Derby, 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 4ipou the other neces saries of life, and the Noble Lord should have his surnort.—(Hear, hear.) A man with 12s. a week pa id as much in taxes as th e man who bad 5,000/. Consols in the Bank of England paid i n the shape of income-tax.—(Hear, hear.) For instance. vitae th e inc M me-tax on that amoaht was 4L 7s. 6d., hi s Itiloughman with 12i. a week paid in the shaper.) a of gai indi rect taxes on his tea, &c•,&c•, 41 . 95.—(Hear, hea thanking them for the hono ur the y had done him, h e assured them that they might always rely upon hi s doing his duty or be should exp ect to be paid o ff as he deserved when ' he came before th em a g ain.—(Cheers.) m 1-4 'ciEE KING said this was a glorious achievement or free trade. The battle bad been nobly fough t, e and dh indeed nobly won, and his warmes t thanks were to toe committees who had managed the d etails of t h e f electinn.--/, Hear.) It was a triumph for the electors o .East Surrey, because it would - b e rememberwd that at the norn'avion it was the electors, and not their previous Membe re, who were accused of having change d their ?Pit l ;.ons.—(Hear hear.) It was said at the time , is tact, that Ellin. Surrey had been misrepre ribed in Parliament for the last five y ears, hue the result of this election would satisfy the c _7antry that the c h arge was without foundation. -- t.dear ' bear) He sh ou ld go b ac k to P ar li a ment deter 'midned to oppose the present Government in every fair an - legitim ate way,—(Hear, hear.) It was a Govern aent t itter' destitute of principle, and if he could have day of pleasure than this it would be that in winch he saw the Derby Government fall.—(Hear, hear.) shonla, s howeverw. sentihue to supp ort the r i g h ts of ::le vindicating th e pr i nciples of the the Lion ion an h d a the ab use , ,; tt,ia 8h ul.l, de , all in his newer t o d es troy stablished Church —(Cheers.)

Neitteer Mr. Antrobus nor Mr. Cleasby, the defeated :candid ales, were present. "The Prince President arrived at Chalons at one o'clock. He leaves this town to-day at three-quarters past one.

" The Prefect of the Meuse to the Minister of the In terior and General Police. " The Prince President has just entered the town in the midst of the population that crowded from every paint of the department.

" The Director-General to the Minister of General Police. " 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 cortige accompanied him to the hotel ot 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, and who saluted the Prince with a rdent acclamations. The troops of the garrison and the National Guard are under arms; preparations are making for a brilliant illumination. We are leaving the town in the midst ot a considerable crowd e xpressing by their shouts the most lively sympathies for the Prince." 66 BAR -LEDUC, JULY 17, 4.40. " The Prefect of the Meuse to the Minister of the Interior. " The Pri nce h a s just left t he station; the acclama tions which had hailed him on his arrival accompanied him_ at his d e p ar t ur e.

"We are entering Strasburg with magnificent ' SHERIFFS' Cf )U RT, Nottingham, July 16 • BIRD V. BANSALL t At the conclusion of t he assize cases in the Crown Court morning, the Under Sheriff , Mr.. Brewster, proceeded with a jury to execute a writ of inquiry in this case. For the plaintiff, Sir. W. H. Adams and Mr. Sergeant Miller. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The p i s p s e u a e re d b , had the originallyC a lleged in the declaration, but Subsequently w ithd r ew his plea. This was, therefore, an execution of a the promise writ nodfa inquiry rto denied the making of f Exchequer to assess the damages. Mr. Sergeant MILLER, in a long and effective speech, de tailed the various circumstances of this case, which 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, wh i c h 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 Sberland-park for the plain tiff's brother, Richard John Davidson Bird, who was then just about 22 years of age. By 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 4eo 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 h er 2 4th 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 hat met I should write to you. I now fulfil my promise. From the 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 uneasy until I hear from you. " I am, my dear Miss Bird, yours most devotedly, • " N.B.—Direct f or m GEORGZ BANSALL." freton, Derbyshire. e, Mr. Buxton's, Shirland, near Al . . "Let thou be mine, and every wish Of mine wouldgratified be, For all my hopes and all. my joys Are centred firm in thee." To the foregoing, the young lady sent a very judicious let ter, declining if he required arfanswer so speedily. Plaintiff met the defendant at Mansfield fair the following week, Mr. Bansall went home with the young lady and her two brothers in their gi g . 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. So did also the family of the young lady. While the defendant was at home he was usually over at his sweetheart's several times a far. 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 month', 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 Bend poetry on slips• of paper, such, for instance, as the fol lowing : " 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 te thee, Fanny Bird. Yes, to this bosom thou art dear, More dear than words can tell, And if one fault be cherished there, 'Tis loting 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), hating 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 read the ring was' purchased, when about the last d ay of March the defendant came and put off the event in contequence 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 affianced on the 31st 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 lette r, after the b ir t h of the child, to know wh a t his intentions were; but no reply came. When she went to her brothers in 1850, she was a sp r i g htl y youn g girl, iat tractiven her appearance, and well e d ucate d, b oasti ng of not a few intell ec tual as 'well es personal charms. When she came b ac k to her father, and for some time previous to that,she was sad and melancholy;. she did not face her father for w h o le days; s he avoided crossi ng th e thresho ld o f t h e door, seen by none. Her distracted state of mind and her a wasud midnight vigils in her b e d room, w h ere she rema ined weeping day and night, had ma d e a permanent impression u pon her healthand broken do wn a n exce ll ent cons titution. The twp brot. ' . _ era a the'bun g lady and her mo ther were called wi tnesses. The two former proved that the defen dant as bad f r equently told thenythat all his father's property, , w orth from 6 000/. to' - ' 8,0004, was - enta il e d upon him ; and, further, that his aunt Bland would leave him alegacy of e vidence of the m o th er was• very a ffecting. he 500/.

He believed that when they met next year, they might with perfect. safety mike a pro rata dividend. Mr. Gleditanes WM re-elected audit.ir. - On Saturday last a meeting of the shareholders of this company was had at the offices in Cornhill, Mr. K. H. Lind say in the phair. The report, which extended over forty pages, was chiefly devoted to a statem nt of toe ma tors In .iispute 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 be no question 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 mein 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 10 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, 930; 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 th e i r respective Governments 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 important concession from' the company for the advancement of his own commercial speculations. The total number of men 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 8,406/. lls. 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 'perforinance 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 therefore applied to the Board of Trade, that, as in the case of other chartered companies, 'the transfer value of the rights and Property of the company might be considered as capital. That the Board of Trade recognise this prin. c.ple 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 t,f 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, alniost impossible), the extension and valuable property of the company was not comprised inthe issue. The report next proceeded to reply to the attempts of Sir James Brooke to depreciate the mineral property.ef 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 on e ' o f hi s l e tt er i t o M r . Wise, dated August 31st, 1847, he save, " 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 persons who have followed my fortunes at fair sala ries, the purchase of whatever stock in trade may be on my hands, aad 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 SEABORNE MAILS. fraatthene. 3 Genentl Poet - onto. h tlle t r th il e s maroorningeent,i, ~..------ 7-----7 j Y me 'lb- When made tap la j From what When General Post - officer port dig- due.

The busy intellect cannot subside into slothfu!- ness and inactivity. It must occupy itself about some thing, and that something is generally of a useful nature. There was poor Sir Robert Peal, for example; when the doors of the Treasury were shut in his face, we do not 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 of his character into farming, it is certain that his example and his advice must be of great advantage to the community. We may now quote 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 all 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 for his perilous pastimes with the map of. Europe; but his rest less 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 st Lewes—in the very heart of the Protectionists—that the cheerful Viscount burst upon the world in his new character. Lord Dtiaie 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 Exe, and 'without any prospect of foreign eleite went until Parliament shall have assembled, the ex- Foreign Secretary was there ready for medals, 1,0001. notes, agricultural plaudits, or anything that might' promise sufficient excitement. Lord Dame brought his observations to a conclusion, and in half-a-dozen words Lord Walsingham 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 "rose " and delivered one of those after 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. He 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, brings 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 Appears toms, however -humorously it may have been 'delivered, to be - more worthy of our all the wounds Pro from Protection balsam f w a h rm ic e h r h s' as i ff e b d ee it n a.ti p o o n u s tha redin n tn their 1846 downwarde, to the preient 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 dwelt lings. Now, gentlemen, I have heard a definition of dirt. I have heard it amid, that dirt is nothing but a thing in a wrong plaCe. N ow the dirt of our towns precisely corresponds with that definiti on . Th e dirt of our t owns ought to be upoii . .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 fertiliie 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." The subject has generally been avoided because it is supposed to be of a somewhat Unsavoury na ture. This sill 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 portentou s 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 ueon 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 fur susceptible minds; but pro cesses we must have i n some shape or results. Peruvian another, or w e are l i k ely to h ave but a begg ar ly s h ow of guano, n i t. would sip,. is out of th e 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 centup ries past. They h ave 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 merchaudize. There is but one way of obtaining it at a cheaper rate, which 'would be by enter i ng into coin petition with •the s harp-witted citizens of this South, American community, and proving. to them that, un less th ey choose to 'di s pose of th e i r guano at a rea sonable rate, they ma y keep it to themselves. Now, we have it in 'our power to enter into- such competi tion with the slightest possible delay. We call the attention of the• British farmer to the fact that if the scheme answerand the 'experiment has always suc ceeded whenever it has been tried—not only will ho ob tain a chep,p manure at home, but he will have guano at much the samoiate. "For an eXpenditure per acre," said Lord, Palmerston the other day, " far less than that which produces one manuring of Peruvian guano, you may establiih permanent arrangements, by which, bringing from the towns fertilising liquids, you would improve your property, and a perinanent 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 uneiaggerated 'truth, — and the farmers of Englind,,as we before said, would do well to abandon all thoughts of protection, " shiftin g o f b urdens, " or revision of our entire fisc a l system," as the new eatchpenpy cis is called, theirand endeavour, t d e e r a e v s our, with the energy of men who see veryclearlyall in indicated, to obtain manure for the land 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 y e ars, that they are the mere dupes and victims of these talking n gentry who go about from hustings tc! from farmers' club to farmers' clu6, .promising b The thin t g e is one sistanee by a ltuislative thenderelttp pi in words—from entire system of humbug—wewent plain farmer in the em beginning to end. There is not hustings,maasel_ b and his Chancellor pin who will ever be a columns of talk.which Ldrt l " with such. exceeding of the Exchequer pour forth peluaeryPthe richer fur all the manure, Volu bility. A pound purpose than it all put together, would be more to the of g uano, a bottle of liquid Times. The CHAIRMAN', 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 the directors wished and asked for was an open and searching inquiry into everything in dispute between them and Sir James Brooke. They were . now of necessity com pelled to conduct. their defence upon narrow and 'technical grounds, whereas if her Majesty's Government granted a public inquiry, either by a Select Cemmitteeof the House of Commons, or in any other ferm, 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 J'a'mes Brooke against t h e company; at the 'same - time they offered him every facility to prove them. If he did•so, let the Government plainly state that - the directors'_ were no longer worthy of the. public\ confidences, but if the - result .of the investigation plainly proved that th ey had acted throughout, not only as honour able straightf o rward men, - but had shown discretion • and judgment in the. management of the company's affairs, in Taeumstancss of great difficulty, then they claimed.from her Al j est y's.Goverement that protection from tyranny. and in justice to which . they were Justly eotitled,.and which they felt certain would not be withheld. The company bad been ch ih arged t_ frau b i r Mr. H. Drummond, in the House of Commons, w , in enforcing the 'truck system on their servants in L _ abuan. It'W as a cur i ou S 'f ac t th a t the company never heard a w or d of such a charge t ill it was pu blicly made by al-r • Drummond-on the authority of Sir James Brooke ; one would have th ought tha t • some inquiry ' would have been made of the directors to ascertain if such a charge were really well-founded. .That, however, was not done. The moment the directors heard of this charge they sent Mr. y Reilly,la gentleman who had been employed b y the Ea st India Company in surveying the Tenasserim . provinces. to inquire into the fact, and to dismiss any one who had been guilty of su c h conduct . After sii - 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 forthe -5_ ; euarge. • Such was• the op en, manl y , En g lish wa y 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 charge was denied, got t he secret de p bsitions of six P e ople, taken by Mr. Lowe, one ,of the magistrates of La bllast stating that the truck system was practised by th e Co mpany. This was a proceeding which most closely re serabled the Spanish Inquisition inthe - sixteenth century , thann the practice of a British subject in the ninete en th . — 'ear, hear.)

Several gentlemen connected with the Electric TelegraPb Company of Ireland (originally called the Irish Submarine Company) yesterday proceeded from Donaghadee Harbour, on board one of the Belfast steam tug boats, accompanied by another vessel, to lay down the electric submarine cable be' tween Donaghadee and Portpatrick.
