The Successful Results of the last half-century have proved beyond question that ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL possesses peculiarly nearishing powers in the growth, restora tion, and improvement of the Hum in Hair, and is now universally ackno vledged to be the Cheapest, and superior to all other prepa• a tions for the Hair.

Rome to Naples, hut must of necessity 1), come part of the rest trunk line of Italy from Milan, Venice, and Verona o Naples, old of which the portion connecting Verona, Mantua, Pistoja, Flor rice, and Sienna is already completed. This twofold character of the Railway from Rome to Frascati. as tea I line and common trunk, is analogous to that of the Railway , om Paris to Saint Germain, of which the Rouen, Havre, Western, , e 1 Cherbourg lines are tributaries. Independently of the e advantages, the line from Rome to Frascati sure of a very large local tragic. CONDITIONS OF TIIE CONCESSION. The concession of the Railway from Rome to Frascati has been - ranted by decrees of the rontifical Government. The duration of the concession is 99 years. The Company has the power to continue to itome and Frascati line as far as the Neapolitan frontier. The authorised tariffs are as follows : For First-class passengers •• ••• • • • 0.13 c. per kilometre.* „ Second-class .•..• • • • 0.10 lt Third-class •. •• • ... 0.06 „ Goods, per ton „ . 0.40 It High as these tariffs appeal', they are little more than one-half the existing charges for conveyance. TRAFFIC. The directors have, by careful observation, ascertained the prob able amount of the traffic between Rome and Frascati, as well for lassengers as for provisions and other merchandise. These observations have been made at various times and at dif rerent points on the line, in order to secure correctness in the results; tnd they show a daily movem nt of 7,060 passengers (5,320 on foot, ind 1,743 in vehicles), and 745 waggons load . d with agricultural pro- lace for the supply of Rome, conzaining. at an average of 500 iilo 4rammes each, a total weight of about 372,500 kilogrammes or about 372 tons English. . . . Nor is there anything surprising in this amount of traffic Rome, h its permanent population of 180,000 souls, and its floating but egular population of 40,(r0 foreigners, possesses neither granaries, ;ardens, fields, nor vineyards, to supply its dai'y consumption. No o aces of retreat or amusement on its numerous holidays or fetes, at t less distance than about 12 miles (20 kilometres) from its walls ; no places, in fact, nearer than Monterotondo, Nemi, Ariccia, Castel londolfo (the summer residence of the Pope), Albano, Gensano, Ma- ino, Civita-Lavinia, Villerri, &e., all in the neighbourhood of Fras cati. The whole of this traffic of passengers and goods, including the laily supplies of provisions for Rome, and the conveyance of visitors to the a' , ove-named places, may fairly be expected to pass over the railway from the day of its opening, to be subsequently and largely augmented when the transit to Naples shall be added, Taking the actual traffic as a b Isis. without doabling (as is usual) t' e number of passengers, without reckoning on the increase of traffic which time will as certainly bring; admitting even a con ,:oerable reduction of the estimate already made, adopting as the General tariff that of the third-class passengers only, and reducing by 50 per cent, the goods tariff, we arrive at the following results : Francs. 5,000 passengers a day (instead of 7,060) at six centimes (third class tariff) over 20 kilometres (12 miles) . • • '2,190,000 200 tons of goods a day (instead of 372 tons) at 16 centimes, over 20 kilometres (the legal charge is 40c.) Total 2,423,600 Deduct 50 per cEnt. for working expenses 1,211,800 Net 1,211,800 Or more than 15 per cent. on a capital f eight millions of francs. FINANCIAL CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY.

The shares bear an interest of the per cent. until the completion of the works. Tie in. crest and dividends will be payable half-yearly at Rome, Pais, and T,,,lndon. The annual general meetings of the shareholders will take place in to cour• e of the month of April. It will be seen from the foregoing that this railway is brought be fore the public under circumstances of a novel and unusually favour able character. st.

Hence it has come that every great national agitation we have witnessed has introduced a new class of members—more or less numerous, to the Legislature; every popular deluge (to borrow a figure of speech from Prince Metternich and Lord Maidstone) has deposited a new stratum of legis lators in Parliament. The struggle of Catholic Emanci pation gave us the Sheila and the O'Connella. The strug gle for Parliamentary reform gave us the Attwonds, Scholefields,Brothertons, and Hommans. The Anti-Corn- Law agitation gave us the Cobdens, Brights, Kerabaws, and Browns. The movement for Administrative Reform will in its turn train new members for the Legislature, and supply them with an opportunity of winning that public confidence which can alone open for Them the doors of the [louse of Commons. We do not merely look forward to this as inevitable ; we regard it as most desirable. The talent available in the House of Commons which was developed in the leaders of the Catholic Emancipation and Reform Bill struggles, was simply that of preserving harmonious action among their fellow-agitators—a talent of immense use in the deliberations of any popular assem bly, but which may be possessed in a high degree by men destitute of almost every quality of a legislator. The Anti-Corn-law agitation taught its leaders, in addition to this tact of management, lessons in the theory of corn mercial policy, but left them imperfectly acquainted with much that the legislator requires to know. The Admi nistrative reform movement will be an experimental school of practical statesmanship. To take a lead in it a man must necessarily make himself acquainted with the organisation and mode of working of our executive government. Too many of those who have been " pitchforked" into Parliament by former agitations, have shown thnt it is one thing to be a successful agitator and another to be a useful legislator. Their utility in the House of Commons has, in a great mea sure, been restricted to the bringing the sentiments of .that body somewhat more into harmony with those of the people than they were before. But men trained in the Administrative Reform movement will acquire habits and knowledge calculated to inspire them with confi dence in their ability to take part in the executive councils of the State. The oligarchy will not be able to say of them that they are unwilling to accept of office, "r that they are deititute of the acquirements which fit men to discharge its duties. The Administrative Re form movement will educate " the right men for the right places." APPLICATION FOR MARES. To the Directors nflhe Rome and Frascati Railway Company.

TVAR MOVEMENTS IN THE PACIFIC. The Polynesian of March 24 says : " The combined English and French squadron is ex pected at the islands in the months of April or May, and we understand, from rumour, that another attack is to be made upon Petropaulovski as soon as the place can be safely approached after the breaking up of the ice. We also hear that the squadron will be increased by the addition of a line-of-battle-ship, a steam-frigate, and a smaller vessel or two on the part of the English, with a similar addition to the French division, the par- ticuiars of which we have not heard stated. Honolulu is a convenient port at which to rendezvous before going north, and we have been informed that it has been ap pointed such by the Commander-in-Chief." The line-of-battle-ship is the Monarch, 84, Captain Pats, to take the flag of Rear-Admiral Brt.ce, and is, by this time, on the station. Accounts from San Francisco, dated Aprill6, state ,hat— "Pique, 36, - Captain Sir F. Nicolson, Dart., left San Francisco April 4. Her destination was kept secret, it being supposed that the captain had sealed orders re ceived from the admiral by the mail which had arrived a week previously. It was given out that the Pique was merely going to practise her guns outside the bay. She had " provisioned " for six months just before sailing. One conjecture is that she may have proceeded to the north to look out for the Russian frigate Aurora (44 guns), which is supposed to have left, or to be about leaving, Petropaulovski, where she wintered ; and an other conjecture is that the Pique has gone to the Sandwich Islands to join the combined English and French squadrons. " Some apprehension is felt here, chiefly by the French, which the English do not participate in, that two Russian armed vessels belonging to the Russian American Company, which have laid hi this port for some months, are about to sail on a privateering cruise, for which they would seem to have been for some little time back preparing. One of these vessels, the Ka t schatka, is a fine fleet ship of about 650 tons, carrying 10 guns, of which two are large ones ; she has laid here for over four months ; she lost her crew by deserth n, but has lately been busy completing a new crew, and is now ready to proceed to sea at any moment. She fas no cargo. Considering the risks she was bold enough to run in getting down from Sitka, with several French and English men of war on the coast, of whom some were in the harbour of San Francisco when she arrived here, it is generally believed that her captain has the spirit and audacity to attempt the capture of a prize, now that be is relieved from the presence of all the men of war on the station. The other vessel, the Nicholas the Firs', has been here for two months. She is a ship of much the same character as the Kamtschatka, but is quite unprepared to go to sea. Nothir g could be easier for the Kamtschatka than to pick up an English or French merchantman on this coast, and run down with her prize to Sitka. It is possible, however, that the captain of the Pique, apprehending such an attempt, may he still hovering on the outside the harbour, on purpose to tempt the Russian vessel to sally out, and it is known that the Pique was heard practising her guns in the offing three days after she left port." From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the Dido, 18, Captain Moorhead, C.D., had arrived at Honolulu from Callao, where she had left the admiral waiting for the arrival of his flag-ship from England.

SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Timis of this day. ) In the complaints which have resulted in a cry for Administrative Reform one of the most prominent was levelled against what was termed the " routine" per vading our system of administration. Recently, how ever, it has been remarked in Parliament, as if in de precation of this protest, that routine in some form or ether is absolutely indispensable to the proper conduct of all establishments, whether public or private, and in some sense this assertion is unquestionably true. All our commercial and manufacturing establishments are carried on from day to day by a system of regulations which undeniably represents a species of routine, and those are usually the best managed where this rou tine is most punctually observed. Common sense, as well as the practice of business, teaches us that there should be a place for everything, and that every thing should be in its place ; that labour is best performed when divided, that every servant should concentrate his attention on his own department, ind that it is only by a strict adherence to established regulations that the work of a lerge concern can be got through. Even "forms" are adopted in private as well as public offices, and observed with great precision. An insurance-office supplies a p r i nte d form to be filled up by a person wishing to insure ; trading or speculative com panies furnish forms of requisition to applicants f)r shares ; banks use particular kinds of checkbooks ; nor is anything more common in our commercial establish ments than for a customer to he passed from one depart ment to another until his business is completed. All this however, is nothing more or less than routine, and why, then, should a practice which is not only innocent and beneficial in one case be so seriously detrimental in ano ther ? This questi in we will attempt to explain. In the first place, the routine pervading the various departments of our public administration was exagge rated in charaster. It was carried 4 uniftreessaril y into the minutice of business, and allowed to affect the most Ine;gnificanti matters. Forms and requisitions were not merely employed, but were refined upon and multiplied to boot. If it were necessary or expedient that a par ticular application should be made in writing, it could hardly have been requisite that it should be made on paper of a particular kind, or that the signature of the applicant should be precisely in a particular place, and not an inch too high or too low. In the next place, the importance attached to these observances was allowed to outweigh that of the objects for which the obsery ances themselves had been established. There appears to have been DO distribution of that discretionary authority by which the forms of the service might be overruled for the good of the service. The officers of a department seem to have been trained not so much to see that the purposes of their department were somehow or other properly answered as to see that the traditions of the department itself were carefully maintained. The routine, too, was not only rigorous but inflexible, and was not modified, even in deference to obvious demand. We are told that the "forms" of the several departments had been much simplified, and were not, generally speaking, either cumbrous or complicated overmuch. The fact is, however, that they had been adapted to times of peace, when economy was of more consequence than despatch, when there was no strain or tension to try them, and when checks and counterchecks, if they effected little good, at all events did little mis chief. When this state of things was succeeded by war, and when the object was not merely to keep an accurate collection of vouchers, but to insure that everything should come to hand 3,000 miles off exactly when it was wanted, the system broke down, because it had not been calculated for any such, trials. But the great and essential difference between the two cases to which we have referred—between the routine of a public office and that of a private business —consists in the fact that the Government could not, for the purpose in question, be cons'dered as one estab lishment, and that consequently the forms of one depart ment were not properly accommodated to the forms of another. In a private establishment there is one bead or one source of authority, there are certain definite purposes kept is view, and to the accomplishment of these purposes all observances are adapted. Routine is preserved as long as it conduses to its proper end, and no longer. It is changed, modified, infringed, or aboli shed without scruple or delay, according as circum stances require, and the conductors of the establishment can always take care that the routine of each department shall coincide with the action of the rest. Where, how ever, departments are virtually independent of each other, and each preserves a routine of its own, it is clear that the work of the whole machine may be impeded, though themo don of particular wheels may be punctiliously secured. The routine, in short, of a private establishment is nothing but the observance of a system which is found from day to day to answer the object of the whole concern ; the routine of Government offices is the action of a strict code of rules, special in their application, often unne cessarily minute, and not admitting of accommodation to the real exigencies of public businesa. From theseremisrks it is airy tededceisi.twei ! r threw conclitsions. Of course, nobody could argue that Go vernment departments, any more than those of pr i vate tc e hi s sa t i a to b np l , i u s rb h ei m gi cu e I n ba t ur s si , ti yi s ; h e s o ssy n d itieo b mu e i d c o o br n ,e d i u nni c a t f e na d ac gt, wi e dr t o l u l w o t nt t he order, r ot , hpseraseye s accessories would be absurd ; but the system itself should not be exalted above its objects, nor should it be invested with any such sanctity as to impede the adoption of reforms the moment they are required. Routine, -in short, is valuable only as the means to an end. It should be to clerks what di ill is to soldiers. It should show the readiest, the easiest, the surest, and most compendious method of doing a thing, arid, just as new macceuvres are adopted in military science, so new regulations, or, in other words, a new routine, should be introduced whenever circumstances render it desirable. If the work of any department is thoroughly well done the rules of that de partment must be good, and it signifies little whether they go by the name of routine or any other ; but, if they are so devised or enforced as to obstruct the work itself, there is an end of all argument for their continu ance. Routine, in the sense of regularity, exactness, and systematic order, is good ; iu the sense of rigid rules, attaching paramount importance to forms, it is bad. It should be our instrument, not our master ;it should facilitate our operations instead of restricting them. (Prom the Daily News of this day.) Some of the devices resorted to for the purpose of throwing discredit on the Administrative Reform move ment are amusing enough. One of the newest is, with a grave face, to call upon those who take part in it to explain what they mean by Administrative Reform. The best way to answer such querists would be to tell them, as Dr. Johnson once told a putter of similar silly questions—" Sir, lam bound to find you arguments, but not understanding." Ministers at least, it is pretty clear, have a tolerably accurate conception of what is meant by Administrative Reform, Sir %Vin. Moles worth, for example, so far from affecting not to know what it means, candidly told his Southwark constituents that its necessity would become apparent if Mr. Disrael's motion were carried. And Admiral Berkeley, without waiting for any such conviming argument as a vote of censure of the House • f Commons, tells hisconsti tuents—" I am quite alive to the necessity of reforming, or rather eradicating, these evils"—i.e, the defects of the administrative departments of goverment. True, the gallant admiral says Oat he regrets " io much exag4era tion and so many false statements should have been made within and without the walls of Parliament on such subjects ;" but it has been the practiceof confessing de linquents to extenuate their offences as much as possible ever since the days of the frail spinster who pleaded guilty to the charge of having , had a child, b u t a dd e d that it was " a very little one. ' Another of the devices alluded to is to insinuate, or boldlp assert, that the movement is entirely factitious— got up by a few ambitious men who seat to raise an agitation that may carry them into Parliament. This imputation may be disproved very easily , let a ny man take in his hand a list of the chief promotes of the Lon- don Administrative Reform Association—tie body which has as yet taken the most prominent part in the move ment—and go into the City and ascertain their charac ter, position, and relations. Ile will find that the great majority of them are men to whom ministers might with the utmost safety offer place, secure that their ta , tes, ' and the immense interests which demand their constant attention, would debar them from accepting it. We may add that we learn, from a source as to the reliabi lity of which there can be no doubt, that it is a standing rule of the Association, that no person can have seat or voice in the business committee who is a member of Par liament, or who aspires to become one, although the co-operation and fellowship of no men, or class of men, are rejected. This "self-denying ordinance' appears to us judicious; not because we have any inistrtst of a man merely because he devotes himself to public business as a profession, but because it will relieve the members of the committee from a world of solicitation, which might be brought to bear with some hopes of slccess upon politicians, but which would obviously be throw n away upon men who are' determined to stick to their indus trial pur.uits. But, for our own part, so far from thinking it any objection to the organised movement to obtain Admi nistrative Reform that it is likely to be joined by some who look to it as a means of introducing them- F elves to a public career, we hope that it may secure the services of many such. The public cannot divine in stinctively who the men are that are capable of serving them well and effectively. The man who astires to be come a legislator or administrator must embrace such opportunities as offer to show the public that he pos sesses knowledge, talents, intrepedity, and firmness. It will be bette r f or t h e country to se l ect i ts servants from among those wh o h ave won t h e i r spurs b y legitimate agitation, than t o t a k e unknown men upon trust be cause they are recommende d by some infl uent i al patron. Agitation necessarily trains public men. A young man joins in some movement of the day, without any other intention than to forward it. He is found to possess a talent for impassive speaking, or for sooth ing asperities among those with whom he co-operates, and a great part of th e b us i ness i s th rown upon his shoulders. The character of the professional politi cian is thus developed in him, and his time is so oceu. pied that he is withdrawn from his former pursuits. H e has nothing for it hub to follow out the care er upon - - THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT. In reply to a question put in the House of Commons, it has been stated that the first object at the Camp of Aldershott would be to teach the troops to act together in large bodies, but that, concurrently with this special training, instruction would be given to them of such a kind as to promote their general efficiency in all other respects. We have more than once alluded to the im portance of the experiment which is now about to be tried, and we recur to the subject because we are con vinced that the general system of training pursued at Aldershott may exert an incalculable influence on the character of the British army. There can be no doubt that what has been specified above as the primary object of this military instruction is one of great consequence. It must needs tend to the confi• dence and ability of troops in the field to observe how regiments are formed into brigades and bri gades into divisions, how cavalry can be supported by infantry, and both by artillery, and how the action of large masses of men can be so concerted as to produce the greatest effect. Nevertheless, although ma noeuvres illustrating such principles of military science may be highly serviceable, we do not conceive it is on this point that our soldiers are most in need of instruction. As a matter of fact, it has not been found that our troops were difficult to handle, or that they evinced any par ticular incompetency or awkwardness when massed to gether in unusual numbers. Their behaviour at the Alma could hardly have been more admirable if they had been drilled in bodies of 20,000 together for months previously. It is quite true, as has been often said that what is wanted is that a given number of regiments should be convertible into an effective army, but this requirement points, we think, to soreethiug above and beyond any extension of the exercise of the individual soldier. The principal defects in our military onganisa tion were discovered, not in any inaptitude of the troops for extended manoeuvres, but in the inexperience of officers, and, above all, in the insufficiency of those particular departments of an army through the agency of which the fighting men are maintained in a fit condi tion for service. We wanted a good Staff, a good Trans port Corps, and better arrangements in the Commissa riat and Medical Departments. We had few officers who had been accustomed to the management of brigades or divisions ; our regiments, except at one or two stations, had usually been isolated from others, and the oafs made on the Commissariat in the colonies, where the chief experience of these officers was acquired, were not of a kind to convey much instruction in the duties arising out European etampaign. — /Wghert; there was nohe of that machinery which makes an army effective and keeps ft so. We bad excellent soldiers and admirable regiments ; but as our arrangements had been mostly con fi ned to the regi mental scale, it was found, when some 25,000 In e■ came to be massed together and landed on an enemy's terri tory, that we had no system properly organised for keep ing these men well fed, well clothed, well lodged, and well tended in case of sickness or hurt. It was here we were so much in arrear of our brave Allies. The French had not only soldiers, but all those accessories by which soldiers become an army—such as good waggon trains, good medical appliances, and good Staff officers, to make the whole work tog e th er . It i s precisely in these respects, as it seems to us, that we should endeavour to turn the camp at Aldershott to good account. At Aldershott we ought to have an army—that is to say, not merely an assembly of regiments, hut a collec tion of troops of all arms , an d i n numbers sufficient to compose a considerable force. An opportunity would then be given of introducing and exercising all those other branches of the service on which the efficiency of the fight ing portion of the army so much depends. Commissariat officers may observe what it is to provide necessaries for several thousand men ; medical officers and purveyors may gain similar knowledge in their own departments; while regimental officers in like manner may acquire the experience of brigadiers. All the special duties created by the presence of an army in the field may thus be dis cerned and learnt with no inconsiderable degree .of pre cision, and practice of a character never before obtainable will be within the reach of officers and men. As regards, however, the soldiers themselves, we are convinced that the species of instruction most serviceable to them will be that which is addressed to improving their facilities of resource and increasing their individual self-reliance. We do not think it can b 3 fairly said that our troops in the Crimea owed much of their suffering to deficiencies in this respect, for, under the circum stances in which they were placed, it would have been impossible for any men, however dexterous or ingenious, to supply themselves with necessaries, or effect much towards the amelioration of their condition. Neverthe less, it seems to be established by a pretty general con currence of opinions that the training of the British soldier is confined too exclusively to the immediate objects of his drill, and that he is habituated by the operation of our military system to look to others in matters where he might often look to himself. He is taught to march, to move accordi ng t o ru l e, and to use his arms ; he ac quires a firm c arr i age, great precision of movement, and invincible steadiness ; but with these acquisitions his dis cipline ends. He is not taught to '•do for himself" in any way ; on the contrary, he is accustomed to find everything done for him. He cannot build himself a hut, or extemporise a fireplace, or mend his own clothes cleverly. He cannot make the most of his relations, or turn a short issue of provisions to the best account. He has no knowledge of carpentry, cookery, or any of those common arts by which a little is made to go a good way. None of these things are taught in his drill, and the con sequence is, that though the intelligence and resources of Englishmen in other situations of life are notorious, our soldiers are in these matters behind those of other countries. The rank and file of our regiment found everything done for them under the regimental system, and when this system broke down, upon being applied to the wants of an army, there was no inherent resource in the individual soldier by which the failure could be partially compensated. We trust, therefore, that in addition to that practice in field manoeuvres which will, of course, be obtained at Aldershott, some steps may be taken to turn to account the capabilities of the men themselves. They must ne cessarily have a consideralle amount of leisure, and this leisure could hardly be better employed than in the acqui sition of knowledge which would be useful to them, not only as soldie r s, but as c i t i zens too. Our Militiamen, in particular, whose ter ms o f service are so limited,' might gain instructi on w hi c h m i ght be of infinite value to them when they returned to their families. How willing they are to learn may have been seen already from the promptitude and earnestness with which they have attended all kinds of classes established for their improvement ; nor is it likely that any occupations tending to break the monotony of a camp life would be considered as otherwise than agreeable. These are the points on which we think that our system of military training would admit of beneficial extension. Of course, the first object of such discipline is to make good soldiers, but there is no reason why in making good soldiers we should not do something more, especially when the soldier.himself would bo all the better for the process,—Tistes. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW FROM RUSSIA AND PRIM SIA.—A return to the House of Lords has been printed, showing the quantity of hemp, flax, and tallow received into this country from Russia and Prussia, between the let January and the 27th April, in the years 1853, 1854, and 1855. The quantity of hemp undressed. in the first four months of 1853, from Russia, was 12,329 cwt., and from Pru ss i a 227 cw t. I n th e fi r st four months of 1854 there were 1,814 from Russia, and 323 from Prussia ; and in the first four months of the present year 846, of which 804 cwt. were prize, and from Prussia 42,745. Of flax, from Russia, the quantities in the same years l‘e e respectively 40,301 and 11,710 cwt. in the present yesr. The quantity of tallow received was 32,404 cwt. from Russia in 1853 ; in 1854, 27,672 ; and 13,144 in 1855 ; and from Prussia, in 1854,fthe quantity was 3,694 ; and this year (the first four months, as in the several bp Amos), 144,035. rP R icE SD. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS IN EYGLAND, - The reports of the Poor-Law Inspectors on the ex tended experiment made last year for collecting agricul tural statistics in England have just been printed, and present rather discouragitig results as regards the pro bable efficiency of the methods thus far adopted, but show that all difficulties would most likely vanish if a coherent system wera introduced based upon a Legis lative enactment, and provided for with the liberality warranted by the importance of the object. The first attempt at collecting these statistics took place in Nor folk and Hampshire in 1853, and with sufficient success to induce a repetition of the plan on a " considerably extended scale ' last year. For this the sum ♦oted was only 4,0001., and, as the inquiry was carried on in 11 counties, a niggardly rate of remuneration seems to have been adopted, which has contributed, with other causes, to its partial failure. Among the impedi ments, the fact that a large number of the agricul turists refuse to make returns under a voluntary system, which gives no certinty that if they comply with the request their neighbours will also do so, appears to have been the most prominent ; but the unfitness of the machinery of the boards of guardians was evidently a serious drawback. On the whole the statements and cur respondencs, furnished by this document tend to esta blish the conviction that, if Vie Government had attached interest to the measure equal to that which has long prevailed respecting it among all the intelligent classes of tile country, and bad proceeded to the task in a spirited instead of a peddling way, the system might have been in successful working at this moment, so as to convey the assurance that, by the first fortnight of next August, the momentous question of the results of the approaching harvest would be entirely removed from the range of wild and speculative conjecture. As to the nature of the steps, if any, which may be in progri—s towards that end at the present moment,. eery little seems to be known, but a heilvy re sponsitility will have been incurred for whatever neglect may have taken place at a juncture so critical. The counties select, d last year were Hants, Wilts, Leicester, Norfolk, Suff . nk, Berks, Worcester, Brecknock, Salop, Denbigh, and the West Ridi n g of York. I n these the sPhedn'es required to be filled up amounted altogether to 118,287. Li 93,117 cases the occupier complied, but 17,042 were filled up by enumerators from such infor- mation aq they could get, and in 8,128 no information whatever was obtained. An approach to statistical ac curacy was therefore rendered impracticable. A general summary has, however, been framed in such way as the materials would admit, and by estimating the other counties to produce acre for acre in proportion to those included in the present inquiry, the 37,324,915 acres in England and Wales may be supposed to have been em ployed as follows : Acres. 3,807,846 2,667,776 1,302,782 73,731 698,188 218,551 2,267,200 177,26:3 12,633 193,287 10,153 18,97 G 1,079 97,334 895,960 Wheat Barley Oats Rye Beans and peas Vetches Turnips .

TAITERSA.LL'B.—TUESDAY, _ TUB SEMING , DAY. Tuesday has. told its own tale, and dispelled the doubts which were entertained as to the nature of the settling. The — business of paying and receiving progressed smoothly, and was brought to a satisfactory termination. The two cases of default which have been most talked about will, in all probability, be very shortly arranged on terms alike honourable to the debtors and their cre ditor'. From that section of the Ring generally deno minated " little men." several absentees were, as usual, reported. The winners on the Derby are principally "gentlemen sportsmen"—properly so called—and a large body of the public who placed the strongest confidence in the prowess of Wild Dayrell, the integrity of his owner, and the honesty of the trainer and the jockey. It is said that Mr. Popham backed his horse at 66 to 1 for 150/ .) and allowed many of his friends to " stand in ;" his win nings in bets are therAfore inconsiderable. Mr. Davis lost 20,0001. on the race ; had Kingstown won he would have gamed 40,0001. Part of his losses were recovered on the Oaks, the balance in his favour on that event being to the extent of 5,000/. In the course of the afternoon several bets were laid at the following prices : UNION CUP (MANCHESTER). 4to 1 agst Orinoco (taken) 4to 1 agst Early Bird (taken) sto 1 agst Pumicestone (taken) ASCOT STAKES. sto 1 agst Vandal (taken) 5 to 1 aget Mortimer (taken and offered) 8 to 1 agst Hospodar (10 to 1 also laid) 10 to 1 agst Hungerford (taken) 12 to 1 agst Mishap (taken) ASCOT CUP. sto 2 agst Rataplan (taken) 7 to 2 agst Fandango (4 to 1 taken to upwards of 3001.) 4to 1 agst Tumbler (taken) THE DERBY. 20 to 1 agst Dramatist (taken) 25 to 1 agst Fazzoletto (taken) 25 to 1 agst Polmoodie (taken) 25 to 1 agat Boardingschool Miss colt (taken) 25 to 1 agst Fly-by-Night (taken) 30 to 1 agst Result (taken to 2001.)

THE NORTH OF ENGLAND v. THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND. This match was resumed yesterday at Lord's, where there was a large gathering of spectators. There was some bt-autiful and effective batting on the part of Parr, on behalf of the North, and by John Lillywhite for the South. Fit this they were called up to the Pavilion, and presented with a new ball as a mark of honour. At the close of Monday's play the South had lost 7 wickets for 88 runs. This amount yesterday they in creased to 144. Adams added 9 more to his previous score of 5, and John Lillywhite was not disposed of until he had placed the figures 43 upon the score. Mr. Drake obtained 21. At the termination of this hand the South were 41 runs ahead. The North in due time entered upon their second hands, and yielded 111, to wards which total Parr contributed no fewer than 53. Tinley made an offering of 19. The South were not able to accumulate more than 52 in their second innings. Of these Caffyn gave 11, and Adams (not out) 10. It has not often been that more brilliant play has been shown. Wisden was in fine bowling, and as for Clarke he was scarcely touchable in the second innings. The South, although they were the headmost side by 41 on the first innings, ultimately lost the match by 18 runs, the gross totals being 214 and 196.

The pliant: opposition with i theofstsaonmde oingvl%,. property tendered it neces•Ary to Parliament. The object of the hill was to authorise the widening of the line from the Minories to Bow, and to purchase property on the south side of the line. Ti e SolVitor read the bends of the bill, from which it apneare'l the company was authorised to raise 100,000/. in shares, and 23,000/. on loan. A long discu.l , •ion ensued, in the course of which the necessity of the proposed widening of the line was ex_ Waked. They expected a large increase of traffic from Southend and other places ; and at presert there w V r 8 trains per day on th e ra il way, which required another line of rails to insure safety. They were much indehted to thAr superintendent for the able way i n which he managed the traffic and avoided accidents. A resol u ti on approving of the bill was adopted ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. • ROYSTON AND HITCHIN.

To alter the title of a property was, in his opinion, a very respon sible affair. He thought it an unwise operation, but it appeared his friend Sir R.

He should feel it be hin f is duty to vote against it unles s th e majority should The ‘ilicitor read the beads of the bill f or enabling the Grcett northern Railway Companyto rais e a f urther sum of money, and for converting, within two years, the fixed rental paid to the Ropten and Fitchin Company into annuities of the Great Northern Company. The annui ties wonld he represented by a guartnteed stock, rank ing next after the debenture stock of the company. Sir 1t CARDEN, in moving a resolution approving of the bill,'explained that the measure had emanated from him, and if it were carried out it would have the effect of raising the value of their stock at least 10 per cent., and would be one of the best securities in England. Mr. CRADDOCK seconded the motion. On the motion being put, there appeared eight in favour of it. and six against it ; but in course of taking the poll on the question some of the shareholders changed their vilws, and voted for the bill, which had the effect of recoriline a majority of stock in favou r of the bill. The CHAIRMAN, seeing the majority in favour of it, withdrew his opposition to the measure, and declared the motion carried. Mr. PulE, seconded by Mr. MILLS, proposed a reso lutio❑ to the effect that the change would not be desir able, unbss the present expenses of management were saved thireby. The resolution was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceed ings. SOUTHIWESTERN. THE PARLIAMENTARY CASE. We hear that persons high in authority and position have had an interview with certain M.P.s who took an active part on the bill, the result of which has been to convince,them that the committee on the bill had acted not only unjustly towards the South-\Vtstern share holder:, but had encouraged an illegal act in the pledge which neither directors nor shareholders could legally give. It is, therefore, contemplated by the dissentients to memorialise theffouse of Lords against the clause* i n the prcseiat hill, which, if it be thrown out, it is intended to preseo next year without the clauses, and they believe it will pass in that shape.—Herapath's Railway Journal.

Last 1,187 deaths were registered. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1345-54, ' the average number was 951, which, if raised by a tenth • part for increase of population, becomes 1,046. It ap pears that 141 persons died last week more than would have died accordimt to the ordinary rate of mortality in the fourth week of May. The class of zymotic diseases shows a disposition to in crease. The weekly numbers referred to it lately run thus : 214, 210, 220, and (last week) 245. These 246 cases are distributed under particular heads as follows : • small-pox 29, measles 16, scarlatina 52, hooping-cough 52, croup 12, thrush 3, diarrhoea 15, dysentery 5, influenza 1, remittent fever 4, typhus 43, metria (puerperal fever) 1, rheumatic fever 1, erysipelas 8, syphilis 3, and noma 1. Scarlatina, which averaged 40 in some previous weeks, - rose to 52. Three deaths were registered from this dis ease in each of the following sub-districts :—St. Paul, Hammersmith ; Saffron-hill, West London (South) ; and Poplar. Seventeen, or nearly a half, of the deaths caused by other fever, occurred in the east districts. Phthisis is much more fatal than any other special disease ; it num bered 170 cases last week, about 30 more than the usual number in corresponding weeks. Last week the births of 855 boys and 767 eiris, in all 1,622 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,399. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.701 in. The mean temperature was 55.4 degs., which is 0.9 degs. above the average of the samo week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was 8 dogs, below the average on Mon day, and continued below it on the two following -days, rose 10 dogs. above the average on Saturday.
