Kettle, Gough, Tildesley, and a large num ber of the memb&s and friends of the Institute. REFRIES and SONS' TABLE GLASS, Cut and Engraved. of the choicest designs. Mr. Tildesfey (the honorary secretary) read let ters from Sir R. Peel, M.P., the Duke of Cleve land, Lord Lyttelton, Lord Stanley, M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., and other gentlemen, regretting their inability to be present. Mr. VILLIERS, who was received with loud cheers, after expressing his gratification at the position which had been assigned to him in the proceedings of the day, said—Fortunately the tone of addresses on these occasions is rather one of con gratulation than of argument, and we have not to bring forward any new project upon which we have to depend • for your faith in our system ; nor have we to announce any failure in respect to which we have to appeal to you for our relief. (Cheers.) We are rather here announcing a great success— a suc cess which has been taken as the basis of extended operations with a view further to carry forward the original purposes of our project. (Cheers.) In fact, what is called the' literary institute of Willenhall— the old institute—by increased connections and ex tension of business, feels bound to enlarge its pre mises and extend its business. It is matter of no toriety that this district has in a most marvellous manner progressed in its material wealth. There has been a development of manufacturing industry and commercial activity that can hardly be paralleled in any other place in the country. (Cheers.) When that arises suddenly in any district those arrange ments are not easily provided that are now deemed essential to our first-rate and most civilised com munities.ose the projectors of the sta fe rt r e t d h t aurP h t lproject. Th e y d es i re d ol& institute I t was to facilitate the intercourse between classes that informationthgive to the working and knowledge c o l o a n s s l d o s n o e t a s o i tehr eaccess t m o meet—to —and to found a convenient place for their reading the usual organs of information. (Cheers.) Fortu nately, the prosperity of this district continued to increase, and from the success which attended the institute as then established it became the more necessary to enlarge its arrangements ; and it is for that purpose that this structure has been erected, and that we are now assembled to celebrate its com pletion. (Cheers. When we look at the character of the building—when we consider that it has been • supported by voluntary contributi ons — an d w h en when we also consider its purpose, it is impossible to say that it is not most creditable to those gentle men who have been its promoters, and also reflects the greatest credit on the town. (Cheers.) This in stitution owes its origin to benevolent and public spirited men, whose names I shall always associate with it. I have had the nominal honour of being its president from its first establishment, and I feel proud of that honour. I always thought that the institution would be a benefit to the town, and I believe that institutes of this character may be ren dered successful, and may by becoming the nucleus of operations for the diffusion of knowledge be ren dered extremely useful to the working classes, and may become important aids in the great educational movement which is now fortunately spreading over the country. (Cheers.) I have no doubt of the success of those institutes, or of the continuing success of the spread of education generally. The circumstances of the country are most favourable to that success. We are in a state of I may say almost unparalleled continuous prosperity, and we must not disguise from ourselves the fact that this is a most important element in the result of any effort that may be made to instruct and educate the work ing classes, because their physical condition must be their first consideration. It is that on which we the object of these institutions ought to confer upon the poor all the advantages which they failed to obtain in their youth. (Cheers.) If I understand the purposes of those institutions, it is to offer to the working man that more easy access to infor mation and knowledge which may be beneficial to them, and that without making any great sacrifice, (Cheers.) I feel that the schools and the provi sion of the State can do little more than provide REFRIES and SONS' DINNER, DESSERT, and Tea Ware, of the newest patterns.

These institutions provide means for employing the leisure hours of the working. man wisely for himself and beneficially for the community. (Cheers.) I know there are per sons who question the advantages of these institu tions, because they say the instruction given is above that which is necessary for the working man, that the opportunity is not given the working man to profit by them, that the working men generally have not supported them, and that they have failed.

If this institution had been placed in Willenhall at the time to which I have referred, and books, and maps, and philoso phical instruments had been provided, I believe you would have found the building and the stores of knowledge where you had placed them, but you would not have traced the steps of the working man. They have not considered the capacities of the work ing man. They regarded him almost as a philoso pher requiring only books and instruments. But if these institutes wish to do the good they profess—if they wish to employ the working man's leisurehours, and afford him all the information he is capable of Jr EE T H.- IMPROVED MECHANICAL DENTIS raY.—Professional abilities and great artistic skill have been most successfully combined in the production of ARTIFICIAL T Et upon a new principle.

(Cheers.) One argument used against these institutes is that the people have not sufficient leisure to come to the lectures or the library—that they are exhausted by - _ physical toil in the course of the day, and require diversion and relaxation and not the trouble and force of study. An answer to that objection seems to be afforded by the working men themselves. A man must be unfortunate at this period of the world if he has not half his life to himself.

That exhibition was opened by Earl Russell and closed by Mr. Gladstone, and the prizes were base all our expectations of elevating their charac ter and spreading information among them. The working man must be at ease in his physical well being before you can successfully appeal to his mind. (Hear, hear.) I think this district itself offers you the assurance that this must be so, and as an illustration I may remind you of what were my impressions when I was first acquainted with it exactly 30 years ago this month. (Hear, hear.) When I first visited Willenhall, I came for the pur pose, first, of asking and afterwards of acknow ledging the honour and favour which I have ever since enjoyed. I was pleased with the simplicity of character and opinion of the people, but it did strike me that in its moral aspect it was somewhat rough. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) I was told that if I wished to commu distributed by Lord Shaftesbury. itself created a great sensation. The exhibition The example is about to be followed in other parts of London, and I have seen an intimation that one is to be formed in the midland counties, containing the productions of working men in their leisure hours. (Cheers.) That is the practical answer to those who say the people have no leisure to amuse themselves, or to employ their time beneficially. (Hear, hear.) It seems to me that if the people have time to employ their leisure in evil, they have also leisure to employ it well. - - How the people employed their leisure in this and neighbouring counties in past times, there are sufficient records to show. If they have time to witness brutal sports and degrading practices, surely they must have time to employ for more ele vated and beneficial purposes—(cheers)--and more especially when a universal feeling prevails that that ought to be the manner in which they should employ their time, in contrast to the manner in which it was spent in former times, when there was too much en couragement for the degraded mode of life followed by the working man. (Hear, hear.) I say, then, that these institutes ought to succeed—(cheers)—if they consider what the circumstances of the people are, because we learn, from all those who have ob nicate with the people I had better do so in the open air, and if I wished a convenient place from which to address them, they would bring me a cart of somewhat primitive structure. (Laughter.) But, certainly, nothing was less passing through their minds than the subject of education or what we are now met to discourse upon, and if anybody at that time had talked of erecting an institute, it would have been thought that he had ill-selected his subject. At that time there was only one day school in the whole place. If you had searched the thousand houses of which it might have consisted, you could not have discovered in any one week more than 50 copies of the public journals or periodicals of any kind. You may yourself judge of the con trast between that and the present time, _ when no less than a thousand copies of the public journals enter the town weekly. (Cheers.) But I must say that at that time complaints were made that trade was bad, and not only that trade was bad, but that it was so not by the visitation of Heaven, but rather by the meddling of man. (Hear, hear.) That was the state of mind in which I found the people of this district at that time, and such was the back ward state of education. I don't know that it differed much from other parts of the country, for there were certain things which dis to spread it among h ear tened and discouraged the friends of educa tthinenpeaonpdlet.hnoseeweffheoct of a desired years' schooling was soon dissipated by a few years of want. (Hear.) I am not going to refer to history or to politics. I will only say that the curtain has fallen upon that period, and that I hope we shall never see the like of it again. (Hear, hear.) It is our better fortune to stand here at this time and to contemplate a scene of a very different character, and I think that those who have striven to benefit the working man and spread learning among the working classes, must rejoice at the position which the subject occu pies at the present moment. (Cheers.) The ques tion of education seems almost to supersede every other. People of every condition seem to be awakened to their responsibility of striving to bene fit their humbler brethren in this respect. Parlia ment votes annually £BOO,OOO a year for educa tional purposes, and an equal amount is derived from other sources. (Hear, hear.) All the mis chievous delusions about the danger of over-educat ing the poor have been dissipated, and experience, too, of the most recent kind seems to point to the information of the working man as offering the very best assurance for the safety of property and of our institutions. (Cheers.) The only question that seems to be in doubt is as to the form and quality of the education that shall be provided for the poor, and I am not disposed to differ with those who say that there must be a limit to the provision made by the State for school purposes. But my particular rea son for referring to the state of public feeling and the general position of the question of education, so far as it is provided for the poor, is to draw your attention to the very great advantage it gives to institutes like this in fulfilling their purposes and intentions. (Hear.) If it is considered that the poor cannot afford the time to obtain instruction, surely C/~ („ • • 4 , - 4 4e. °OJT • • ) p it el ~1 —lllll.ll‘ l i t - , Ato 2 ' fr # * fte d 41.1 . kiVi , , 0 •1 tf.A.V • IIL -Z •••••• - eg •-• . 5 0 fee „mai; e. 4 ,3•- DIE C e.ukkiN g 16° 'onorc• 4 g 5- served the character of working men, that owing to the humanising influences to which they have been subject of late, there has been a very great change, and there is a great desire for intellectual improve ment and recreation. They are ready to avail them selves of it whenever it is offered to them. (Cheers.) Why, then, should some provision not be made ? Why should our institutions be merely philoso phical cabinets ? Why should not arrangements be made to suit the peculiar circumstances of the poor? lam glad to find that in this institute pro vision is made for concerts, lectures, as well as general reading and the perusal of the daily papers. All of these are rational and im proving modes of occupying a man's time. I under stand that whenever a good concert takes place, the working man is ready to divert himself, if the charge is within his means. I understand also that even in the agricultural villages there are readings, at the low price of a penny, from some of our best English authors, and that the rooms are crowded. (Hear, hear.) I understand also from one of the lecturers who is in the habit of visiting large towns that the rooms are always crowded when the lecture is suited to their tastes. Surely all these things might be brought within the sphere of the operations of such an institute as this. I feel so much confidence in the judgment and energy of those who have promoted and carried the institute to a successful issue that I am quite sure they will have observed in what re spect other institutes have failed, and in what way they can carry out their objects with most effect, and I am sure that in the course of a short time we shall find the working classes within this district as sociating more closely with the institute for the pur pose of pleasure, recreation, and instruction. (Cheers.) If I might be allowed to make a reference to one want in your arrangements, it would be that I do not see any intention of connecting this insti tute with the school of design. Now, that is really a most important matter for the manufacturing classes throughout the country. (Hear.) An inquiry lately took place in the House of Commons as to the effect of these Schools of Design which have been in operation during the last 20 years. They cer tainly have notbeen well managed, andhave not had all the success that was hoped for, but on reading the evidence I was astonished at finding what ad vantages have been derived from them—first, by the students themselves, and then by the manufac turers, and the influence which they have on our trade with foreign countries. (Hear, hear.) Opi nions have been expressed in the House of Com mons that nothing could be more important to the manufacturing interests of the country than to cultivate the art of design, and to improve the style of the artizan in that respect. The com mittee in their report state that the impression which they have received from the evidence is that Schools of Art have contributed largely to the improvement of the taste of the country of late years, and that great national advantages have been derived from them—(cheers) --that schools of design had recently been reconstituted. There is a central department. It is supposed that the schools will be conducted with greater advantages than heretofore. It enables institutions like this to put themselves in relation with it, and by paying a small sum they will have the advantage of models and various other things in connexion with art. We must not forget the importance of this advantage. We are, gene rally speaking, equal to the producers of most coun tries ; but if there is one respect which we pay to others it is with regard to taste and design ; and although we have now the advantage of free trade, we must not forget that we must take free trade with all its consequences. We have derived many benefits from it, but we never shrunk from the ex pectation of an active competition with the foreigner, and it is in this particular respect that the artizan in England, in competition with foreign artizan their carefully trained. (Hear, hear.) Certainly, productions are superior to ours in many Certainly, their Their goods must come in like any other ; and the ,e / c 2/ PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. artizan of this country must consider to what disad vantages he will be exposed if he is unable to com pete with the foreigner. We have not only removed all obstructions to trade with regard to this country, but with regard to our colonies. I think if a school of design could be connected with this institute it would confer as great a benefit on the town as any other benefit which it proposes to confer. (Cheers.) This matter is considered one of much importance in many other towns. In the town of Halifax there is a mechanics' institute. It has been con nected with the School of Design in London, and there are 500 members of the institute who are re gular students in the School of Design. (Hear.) There is no reason why the same course should not be pursued here, and I may remark that more evi dence in favour of the School of Design came from Staffordshire than from any other county. (Cheers.) It is perhaps presumptuous in me to , suggest to our friends a proceeding of this kind, for it is ungenerous to press a willing horse to death. I leave the matter to their own responsibility and the generosity of their friends. The promoters of the institute have done great service. They deserve the support of the town and the thanks of the county, and they have by establishing the institute afforded another evidence of the constant moral progress of our towns, a cir cumstance not to be overlooked with the increasing growth of our material greatness. (Cheers.) When I look round, I cannot help congratulating the work ing man upon the presence of gentlemen holding the highest position in the county—gentlemen enter taining different political opinions —who are assem bled to do honour to the institute which has for its object the spread of information and the elevation of the character of the working classes. (Cheers.) I believe it is now my duty to announce that this in stitute is now opened, and to express my hearty de sire that it may achieve all the success which it-de serves. (The right hon. gentleman then resumed his seat amid loud cheers.) Mr. M. Gibson and his Constituents. 'Tuesday Night. To-night Mr. Milner Gibson, President of the Board of Trade, has addressed a crowded and enthusiastic meeting of his constituents in the Town-hall. The entrance of the right hon. member with the mayor, Dr. Galt, Mr. Hugh Mason, and others was signalled by loud cheering. After being introduced by the mayor amid renewed cheering, Mr. GIBSON said, —Although we had removed a great number of protective duties, and made important fiscal re forms, which must be of immense benefit to the country, we could not have the full advantage of a free-trade policy unless reciprocity on the part of foreign nations was to a great extent realised. Setting aside from our present con sideration the United States, we found at Brazil, Cuba, and other colonies and dependencies that our tariff of duties on the raw produce from those countries was much more op pressive than the duties which they imposed on manufac tures coming from England, and therefore it was reciprocity from our side that was required, and not from theirs ; but if we looked ajc Europe, with the exception of Holland, Turkey, and Switzerland, the liberality was all on our side, and we had a right to expect from the various coun tries of Europe that before long those erroneous views which had hitherto guided their policy would be changed, and that we should have a more general adoption of free trade principles. (Hear.) He considered that for such pro gress as had, in this respect, taken place, and might yet be achieved, we should be mainly indebted to Mr. Cobden— (cheers)—who, breaking down the prohibitive system in France, had taken the first step to breaking down the pro hibitive system of Europe. (Cheers.) France had already concluded contracts, which would ripen into treaties, with Turkey, Belgium, Italy, the Zoliverein, Switzerland, Sweden, and Holland; and into an equal share of the mu tual advantages of these treaties England either had been or would be admitted by treaties simultaneously concluded. We must give time to countries to overcome the interested opposition which naturally existed against .the admission of free competition with their produce and manufactures ; and also bear in mind that the excessive military expendi ture of the various countries of Europe had been one of the main obstacles in the way of dealing boldly with their tariff of duties. France, urged forward by the success of her new commercial policy, was at the present moment engaged in considering a most important subject—namely, a great re laxation of her navigation laws ; and if effected, this might be of as great advantage to the commerce and industry of this country as the previous reduction in the French tariff of import duties. (Hear, hear.) Referring to complaints that the Foreign-office and the Board of Trade had not between them been so active as they might have been, he defended Foreign-office and the Board of Trade from the charge, as he thought, inconsiderately made of not being sufficiently active in promoting the adoption of a free-trade policy by foreign nations, and said he was sure the Government had seized every promising opportunity of urging freedom of industry and a reduction of duties in countries where they had representatives. He said that, in compliance with the recommendations of a parliamentary committee which sat last session to inquire into the relations between the Board of Trade and the Foreign-office, the latter had created a department to be called " The Commercial Division," which would carry on all the correspondence on commer cial matters with her Majesty's missions abroad, with the representatives of foreign Powers in England, with the Board of Trade, and other departments of her Majesty's Go vernment, and with commercial associations, and private individuals at home and abroad ; but the creation of this new division had made no alteration in the character of the relations heretofore subsisting between the Foreign-office and the Board of Trade. He hoped this new machinery, by causing commercial matters to be attended to with the utmost promptitude, might give satisfaction to the commercial community. Speaking next to the anti-malt tax agitation, as one carried on mainly by gentlemen con nected with the Conservative party, he said he quite agreed with a noble lord who spoke at a recent meeting on the subject in the opinion that the question of the loss of revenue which would be occasioned by a repeal of the tax was the Chancellor of the Exchequer's business, and he also thought that when gentlemen on the one hand supported a very large expenditure they must, on the other hand, pro vide the Chancellor of the Exchequer with the ways and • means of meeting it. (Cheers.) A friend of his who spoke at this malt tax meeting had said that the reduction of taxes on coffee, sugar, tea, and some other articles of that kind was never complained of, and he maintained the malt tax repealers were entitled to an equality of justice. ~Now, admitting this claim, how would the matter stand ? He had taken the trouble to write down what proportion the malt tax bore to the tea, coffee, and sugar duties. He found that on tea, taking the retail price at 38. per lb., the duty as it existed at present of is. per lb. amounted to 33i per cent. Taking coffee at the retail price of ls. 4d. per lb., and paying a duty of 3d. per lb., it gave a percentage of duty on the price of 19 per cent. Taking brown sugar he found by a like calculation that the duty upon it was 22 per cent. ; but if he came to malt and allowed that a quart of porter was worth 4d. he found that the percentage of duty upon the price was only 12i per cent. (Laughter and cheers.) Passing on to the Schleswig-Holstein question, he said he thought every elector in that constituency would have seen cause to rejoice that this country was not drawn into the struggle, and he contended that if Denmark had ever expected material aid from us against her gigantic opponents it was not owing to any promises held out by the Government, but to the mode in which the question was dis cussed in newspapers a.nd public places. Noticing the features of the Schleswig-Holstein debate in Parliament, he said the majority for Government in the House of Commons was reduced from 65 to 18 by the votes of the Irish Roman Ca tholic members, and he maintained that such a combina tion as was then effected between the high Ultramontane Catholics and the high Conservative Protestants of this country was not one that ever could, or ever ought to govern England, or which ever could promote the cause of civil and religious liberty. The Catholics themselves had nothing to gain from such an alliance, for it was not to the Conservative party that they owed their emancipation, they that they were likely to be indebted for measures whichhelahnyd would value in reference to religious ascendancy and ndewotheecrelmesaiattsetrsica. ecclesiastical court of f g a o p f pe lt a r l: that in these days it would be considered t and that it would savoured of a kind of Holy Inquisilittioani; d intellectual acti put an end to all freedom of tboug b.

Yesterday, at 3 o'clock, a special meeting of the Common Council was convened by the Lord Mayor at Guildhall for the purpose of hearing a communication which he had re ceived from Baron Liebig, the eminent agricultural chemist, - and President of the Royal Academy of Science at Munich, on the subject of the utilisation of the sewage of the metro polis. There was a large attendance of the members of the Council, though they had been hastily summoned to meet. The Town Clerk (Mr. Woodthorpe) proceeded to read the letter of Baron Liebeg, which was dated Munich, Jan. 19, and addressed to the Lord Mayor. "In compliance (the writer said) with a request on the part of the corpora tion he had the honour to send his lordship his views on the utilisation of the sewage of the metropolis. After a pro found and admirable investigation of the sanitary, engi neering, and agricultural questions connected with the sewage, the select committee of the House of Commons, under the presidency of Lord Robert Montagu, came to the conclu sion that it was not only possible to utilise sewage, but that by its application to agricultural purposes, if properly con ducted, great benefits might be derived from its use both by the country at large and the towns which furnished it. An attentive observation of what had been written and spoken on this question led him (Baron Liebig) to believe that the . greater number of persons in England, even the more en lightened, looked upon sewage as a nuisance ; they thought it ought to be got rid of by any means, and the more quickly the better. It was to those who entertained such opinions that he should chiefly address his remarks, and if his en deavours to convince them of the money value of the com modity should be successful, and thus prevent over-hasty stops being taken, the task he had set himself would be ful filled. Those questions, therefore, which had been eluci dated already by the report of the select committee of the House of Commons he should leave untouched, and should confine himself wholly to endeavour to put in their proper light before the farmers, the inhabitants of towns, and the Legislature those facts and principles which ought to be taken as guides in any estimate of the worth and import ance of sewage. With regard to his computation of its value, his Lordship would have the goodness to accept the numbers here given for neither more nor less than they were intended—as a starting point, namely, for certain calculations in order to reduce to a more tangible form the result of his inquiries. These figures were not put forth as absolutely correct; indeed, in the present state of matters no person in the world was able to state them with perfect accuracy. Whoever was conversant with the history of agriculture would know that in the latter half of the last century practice found a means by the cul tivation of clover and other fodder forlputting an end to the three-fold system, and for beginning a new one of rotation of crops. The result was an increase in the agricultural produce, which hitherto had been regularly diminishing. The pith of the new system adopted was combined in the following aphorism The more fodder the more flesh, the more flesh the more manure, the more manure the more grain.' At that time no one had any correct idea of the cause of the fertility of the soil or the effect of manure, nor did it then occur to anybody that the fertility of the closer fields would ever have an end. The whole system of farm ing was based on the production of farmyard manure by means of fields of fodder. That a cloverfield could not form an exception to general laws, but must be subjected to the same conditions as a cornfield, was clear enough ; and a time must therefore come when manuring would be as much a necessity for one as for the other in order to main tain its productiveness. For the cornfields stable manure was indispensable, but for the clover and other fodder fields none was to be had. Years passed, and certain strange pe culiarities manifested themselves in these fodder fields ; in. many clover fields the plants died away ; turnips, too, would not thrive any more as they had done. The very expression, ' clover sickness,' showed that the cause was not supposed to lie in exhaustion of the soil, as in the case of cornfields, but was thought to arise from the field being ailing. At the High School of Farming at Hohenheim it had become . a dogma that the producibleness of a farm could be last ingly maintained by the proper rotation of crops without a, supply of manure from without. In an analysis of the Hohenheim farming he had the opportunity of showing last year that in the period of 1852-60 the quantity of farmyard manure was a third (550) tons more, and the quantity of corn and rapeseed crops one-fourth to one-third less than in 1832-40. PI actice itself was compelled to avow that its sys tem had no foundation ; the more grain' did not correspond with 'the more manure.' Such were the final results of high farming and stable dung alone ; in one district the crops of fodder, in others the corn harvests, diminished Towards the end of last century practice found in gypsum and latbr in bone-dust, a means by which the decrease in the yield of the fodder and the corn fields might be arrested and the former productivity of the soil be restored. Then came superphosphate of lime and Peruvian guano into use, and many farmers were convinced that it would be difficult to maintain the produce of flesh and corn at its present height without the application of guano. What a crop was to come from when the supply of guano had ceased never occupied their thoughts, for farmers were generally not in clined to think of the evils of the morrow ; with them 'Sufficient for the day was the evil thereof.' Now, however, they knew the cause of the efficacy of phosphate and Peruvian guano. They knew with certainty that the cause of fertility lay in certain constituents of the soil, which served for the formation of the body of the plants, of the roots, of th• leaves and fruit ; that the quantity of these in the ground was very limited ; and that man, with all his art and skill, was unable to get fruit from a field when such con stituents were wanting. These, as long as they were in the ground, were called ' alimentary matters,' but out of it manures.' Both names signified the same thing. It was now clear that in theproducts which the farmer brought to market he sold a part of the active agents of his fields, and that, accordingly the harvests must gradually grow less in the same ratio as the condition for its production decreased. The effect of phosphates (bone-dust) and of guano was to restore to the soil two conditions of fertility—phosphoric acid and nitrogen, which it had lost by centuries of cultiva tion and removal. The produce of the field diminished with the decrease of these stores, but which on being aug mented again put the field into its former state. Reason told them that a natural phenomenon could not return with constancy if the causes of it were fluctuating, and that a field could not constantly yield crops if the conditions of their growth constantly decreased. There was, per haps, no land where the truth of this simple law of nature was so patent as in England. The British farmer had been enabled to win from his fields crops surpassing those which had ever been gained from a like superficies ; not, however, because he was more skilful and diligent than the husbandman of other lands, but because he acted more in harmony with the law on which production depended. In no country as in England was the farmer so ready to give a part of his profits for the purchase of manures; nowhere was he mare convinced that without their addition it would be impossible to preserve for a continuance the present high produce of his fields. But, considering the means by which they were obtained, the high crops wer e not signs of a lasting store of their conditions in the fields, but symptoms of exhaustion. The Briti sh farmer _ considered an outlay for manure not as a doubtfulexpengoodid ture, but rather as an investment of capita l which bore the menu interest. What distinguished the farmer fromustomed to cal culate was that the former was not so material which was y gu w id h ed at b cu e la be te u a g s b t t h ati e latter . eTdhaecmeuazutefia;ttutreeinr es, he ee bad efehorosehrniknas:ltecahinedhe right. axwt ,ach 0 w ev The er while the farmer he intended to work up with his machines, in the choice of fitting manurescalled experience.

Upto this time many farmers were stiff of opinion that stable dung, phosphate, and Peruvian were sufficient to maintain their fields in a state of unable to estimate the worthof sewage. g uano fertility. That might be true for certain fields and for a certa in number of years, but the supply of Peruvian guano must soon have an end, and an analysis of bones and guano ashes showed that in onv there was no potash, that in the stable dung, other only traces o f it were to be found—an ingredient which wimapsoartleaenitnandisdpemnosastbeleffifeeirentbte maintenance h formed and an of the corn and fodder crops. Sewage was especially rich in ammonia and potash, which latter failed in the manures sold by the trade, and when it was employed then only was the system of culture a rational oneN At this stage of the reading of Baron Liebig's communi cation, the town-clerk, when he had not read more than a third of it, was interrupted by Deputy SNELLING moving that the report in its entirety be remitted to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, to whom the subject of the utili sation of sewage had been referred for consideration, in order to its being printed and circulated among the mem . bers of the Common Council. The motion was at once adopted, and the Court ad.. I journed. THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADES.—The withdrawal of the discharge note has not yet led to a resumption of work by the men.
