BAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE NORWEGIAN GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. Some account of this interesting ceremony has al ready appeared in the public journals ; but theannT particulars will be read with gratificatio n, as indicative o we of the development of Norwegia n resources under skill, and through the instrumentality of English enterprise and capital : CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 15s—We were very much grati fied the other day by the arrival of Mr. Robt. Stephen son, M.P., Mr. Samuel M. Peto, M.P., and Mr. Geo. P. Bidder, with a party of friends, for the purpose of inaugurating the Norgewian Trunk Railway, which, in accordance with the contract with the Norw e g ian Go vernment, was to be formally delivered over to thedirec tors on the Ist inst. This line is 42 miles in its extreme length, connecting the capital with the Mjosen Lake ; which again, by means of steamers , at present belon g in g to the contractors, has brought the most populous and favoured districts in connection with the coast, from which they have hitherto, in consequence of the diffi culty of internal communication, been in a measure excluded. The country through which the line passes is, is, a a y s o those acquainted with the physical features f may welt suppose, exceedingly picturesque; e rg s ew long pression which first strikes the traveller on the broken and mountainous characterofthe n coun try is the impracticability of constructing rail way ; and the utmost skill and ingenuity of the engineer have been called into requisition in order to overcome the difficulties which meet him at every ad vance, while the curves and gradients they have been compelled to adopt prove that these were not few. After leaving the main station at Christiania, and crossing the • Agers river, by means of a w rought:iron girder bridge, the rise to a distance of 11 mileis 1 in 40, and the des cent at Strommeir, the first chief station we arrive at, is lin 60. Here we cross the Nid river by means of a similar wrought-iron bridge, and shortly after begin to rise to the picturesque station under Frognor Church ; after this the gradients and curves are but slight until you reach the next station at Dahl, situated in the sequestered valley of Rig. Between this station and Christiania the road passes through some extensive rock cuttings of granite and primitive slate, and over some of the most extraordinary timber viaducts ever applied to railway construction, varying frhm 60 to 70 feet in height, and from 400 to 800 feet in length ; they look light and elegant, and exceedingly picturesque, though of immense strength. From Dahl to Eidsvold the engineers experienced unusual difficulties, not only from the nature of the ground, but the configuration of the surface. The line, immediately after leaving the Dahl station, enters a series of narrow-winding valleys, with barely breadth enough for the streams which traverse their base to worm their way through ; the curves are consequently sharp, and within the short distance of seven English miles no less than 18 bridges have to be crossed, as likewise through two short tunnels. On emerging from the second, the Wormen river (the out let of the Mjosen Lake) is seen, and immediately beyond is the Eidsvold station, the northern terminus of the line, which stands on the quay, so that the steamers lie alongside. There are seven intermediate stations, all built in the Swiss cottage style—remarkable for the impression of neatness and comfort they convey. The opening of the line was to have taken place on the 31st, but, owing to some preliminary arrangements which had to be completed with the Government, it was de ferred to the day following. All the Ministers and high officials of the Government, together with the judges, heads of the department, members of the Storthing, &c., were invited to be present at the ceremony. About 300 consequently assembled at the station at Christiania, which is of the old Hanseatic style, and which had been decorated for the occasion, to witness the departure of the train. All the stations had been more or less adorned, and as the train flew by the company were greeted by the most enthusiastic cheers. At Eidsvold a cold collation had been provided, of which the company partook, and after walking about the beautiful environs for a couple of hours, they returned at four o'clock to Christiania, and were again greeted by crowds of specta tors. At five o'clock the company assembled at the Free masons' Hall, and about 300 sat down to a handsome dinner, which had been provided by the contractors. S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., presided ' • supported on his right by the councillor of st a t e , M. Vogt, the Minister of Finance ; and on his Left by M. B erg , th e P res id en t of the Lagtbing. Among the company were the Minis ter' of Marine, Minister of the Interior, Minister of War, the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Hesselberg, Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., the eminent engineer; Mr. Bidder ; her Majesty's consul-general ; the mem bers of the Storthing, and the chief notabilities of the town, as well as several English gentlemen, who had come over for the occasion. The gallery was crowded with ladies. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast, that of " His Majesty the King," alluded to the great interest his Majesty had evinced, and the support he bad so powerfully afforded to *this great national undertaking. The MINISTER OF JUSTICE next proposed " The Health of her Britannic Majesty Queen Victoria," and paid the most eulogistic encomiums to England and the British. Mr. PETO then gave " The Government of Nor way and the Storthing," accompanied on each occasion with a brief and appropriate speech. The PRESIDENT of the SToRTHING proposed Mr. Ste. pheneen, a gentleman whose fame had extended beyond Europe ; who had won his laurels—not in a campaign, where they are generally won, though often with but little prosperity to mankind—but by using his excellent knowledge and eminent talents so effectively that distant places are brought near to each other, the beneficent avocations of peace are promoted, national prosperity is augmented, and a hitherto unknown life in ninny re spects is created. It was Mr. Stephenson whose counsel and skilful direction had been most instrumental in form ine the first railway in that country—an undertaking with which we may, with good reason, unite the most certain expectations of an advancement of many mate rial interests. Mr. STEPHENSON responded by proposing " Success to the Norwegian Trunk Railway." It was quite un necessary for him to expatiate on the benefits which such a great work was calculated to confer upon all classes of society. The experience which they bad already had from the partial use of the railway for the last few months must have convinced the most sceptical that it could not fail to stimulate the enterprise of an already enterprising people, to extend their commercial inter course with other countries, and, above all, to increase the comforts of the Norwegian people. It was in this latter respect that the influence of railways was so re markable ; the benefits they conferred were act limited to any particular class of society, for they were benefits that every one experienced. The future historian in writing the history of our times will feel himself called upon to study with as much care the influences of rail ways upon the social condition of man as he has hitherto done the influences of the most extensive war among nations. He would, however, proceed to a point on which he knew they were all anxious ; he alluded to an impression in the minds of many that the railway works were not in a complete state, and that the terms of the contract had not been complied with. As umpire be tween the English and Norwegian interests, he had carefully examined and considered the state of the works throughout, and he now expressed his decided opinion that the contract had been complied with. There were, doubtless, many minor works, especially some connected with the different stations, which could not strictly be said to be complete, but he rid not consider these at all necessary for the substantial compliance with the con tract. He, therefore, publicly and emphatically declared his opinion, that the Government ought to have no hesitation in accepting the railway and works as fit and safe for public use. Mr. PETO, in reply to the toast of "The Contractors, Messrs. Peto, Ricardo, and Brassey," which was pro posed by the Minister of Marine, trusted they would for give his offering to them his thanks fur its reception, and for their kindness in accepting the hospitality he had so much pleasure in offering. He wished to take this oppoetunity of saying that he feared from what lie had heard that some misapprehension existed in the pub lic mind as to the position and relation of the contrac tors to the shareholders, in connection with the event of the day. He had been told that some parties felt strongly that the Government should not have had the line transferred under Mr. Stephenson's award until every iota of work was perfect. Now, if this was so, Why did the Government so properly stipulate for five years to try every ti work on the line, and to add thereto from time traffic had reaZsed what might be required, until the Mr. Stephenson had a certain limit ? He stated that as declared that the line was in every respect fit for operli peeing, equal to any railway that had ever been opene n d g asto safety ar. utility, still the the worlda ntractors felt fulfillin bound las honest of it, to carry out the s cogntra eleme li nts in every part e one naliberal spirit, and the Norwegian public: and shareholdersl e would find they had not misplaced their confidence, then referred to the control commissioners, who on all ons, while strictly carrying out their duty, fulfilled in a cour. 10,000 been only teous and candid spirit. The traffi c opened to Eidsvold but a month, yet passen gers had been conveyed, and a gross reteuryrn naturally about 3,0001. It was supposed, and so, that considerable prejudices would have 13)(resiei:d countered from a class who for ages had 1 almost a vested right in the transit power of the district through which the line traversed. What was the result? Why, that that very class had used the railway more than any other, and instead of competing with the line, at no time had the prices been higher, or had merchants experi enced greater difficulties in procuring horses as since the railway had been opened for traffic. These were facts that strikingly proved the utility of railway communi cation, and which made the merchant and the public independent of those climatic casualties they were so frequently exposed to. He felt sure that if he lived he should see Norway soon become an exporting country. Its soil was fruitful, and, when cultivated, not only would each property supply the wants of its possessor, but leave a surplus for sale to foreign States. Though the winter of Norway was cold, yet that very severity gave the soil a preparedness unknown to southern climes, and when its lakes became connected by railways • gse peeislucts could be shipped with facility and profit. •Ucook att anada—equally cold, and yet what products Were brougheleom it ? Look at Denmark —exporting aanually 1,000; 00 quarters of corn and 40,000 head of • cattle., And Wh t y not Nor ? He had seen since he bad in that way country root crops e qua l to any h e had seen ill E egland,jand crops of potatoes more abundant than any he hha'ever seen. Then why should not Nor waysepoq largely ? He felt sure she would eventually, and when it was calculated that the cost of locomotive 'traction did: ntit exceed, for the supply of power, morn than 9d. to each train per English mile, they would 74" TILE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY-ETENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1854. appreciate how large an agent in projects and develop ment railways were. The Minister of the Interior, Mr. BRETTIVILLE, said that it had already been remarked how fortunate they were that Mr. Robt. Stephenson, a man whose talents are so renowned through Europe, took so lively an inte rest in constructing a railway in their country, and how fortunate they were to meet with honourable men, who, having the means of providing the capital, were inclined to extend their business even to that remote country. It was no less their good fortune that the man who was chosen to manage the execution of this great enterprise was a man who possessed extraordinary ability and ac knowledged experience. It was needless to say that gentleman was Mr. Bidder, and in proposing his health he had to thank him on the part of himself and country men for the interest he had evinced in bringing the en terprise to so successful an issue. Mr. BIDDER, in return, took the opportunity to pro pose "The Commissioners of Control," whose kindness, combined with perspicacity, exactitude, and decision where it was required, he fully praised. He admitted that there had been, indeed, a difference of opinion between hiih and them—a difference of opinion being unavoida ble between men of independent ideas ; but the earnest ness and decision with which they had maintained their opinion had only contributed to increase his respect for them. It had been said that the railway was not yet complete ; he granted it, inasmuch as a railway can never be complete so long as the traffic was actively de veloping itself ; under these circumstances he sincerely trusted the Norwegian Trunk Railway may be con tinually requiring increase of accommodation to meet increasing demands—to meet augmenting revenue. He could not wish anything better than that the railway could never be said to be complete. Several other toasts were given and responded to, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

( From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) FURTHER DECREASE OF CHOLERA, The cholera is slowly retreating from London ; but it destroyed last week 1,284 lives, and 19 persons died from the allied disease, diarrhcea. The deaths from all causes in the three weeks ending Sept. 23 have been 3,413, 2,836, and 2,504, including the 2,050, 1,549, and 1,284 deaths from cholera. The deaths by cholera in the ten weeks of this eruption have been 8,953 ; the eruption of 1849 broke out earlier, and by the same date nearly had destroyed 12,664 of the inhabitants of London. The Board of Health fights under the same disadvan tages in London as a war minister would if he could only oppose the invasion of an active enemy by the force which every parish and public company would vote and consent to bring into the field ; yet we may hope, now that the local machinery is, under due supervision, set in motion, and judicious precautions are issued, to see the mortality decline at an accelerated rate.

Last week the births of 833 boys and 795 girls, in all 1,628 children, were registered in London. In the nine corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average number was 1,331. At the Royal observatory, Greenwich, the mean read ing of the barometer in the week was 29 . 972 in. The barometer increased from 29.68 in. at the beginning of the week to 30.01 in. by noon on the 18th ; decreased to 29.80 in. by noon on the 20th; increased, with very slight exceptions, to 30.32 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 22d ; decreased to 30.12 in. by the morning of the 23d, and continued at this reading throughout the day.

PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 26.—Two distinct sets of proceed ings have been instituted to-day into the circumstances of the alleged death of a female from ill-treatment from officers belonging to her Majesty's screw frigate Daunt less, and which had taken place on board that vessel's hulk, the Victorious, lying off the dockyard, A report of the proceedings at the inquest on the cause of death of this young female, Matilda Jane Lodge, aged 22, was inserted in The Sun on Monday ; the ver dict being, it will bo remembered, to the the effect that death had been mainly accelerated by the ill-treatment alleged. _ Al 9 o'clock this morning a court of inquiry was opened on board the Dauntless's hulk, the Victorious, the members of the court being Captain R. S. Robinson, Colossus ; Captain J. C. D. Hay, Victory ; and Cap tain Crispin, Victoria and Albert. Previous to the court opening, Captain Ryder, the captain of the Dauntless, mustered all the officers, and read them a severe lesson in reference to the conduct complained of. He also, we are informed, placed Lieutenant Frederick Knight, R.M., the officer with whom the deceased had been on board, under arrest. The court has sat the whole (lay, but, of course, nothing has yet transpired'as to whether a court-martial will result from it or not. It is regarded as more than probable. Civil proceedings were also instituted at the Borough Police Court to-day, before a bench of magistrates, the Mayor (G. C. Stigant, Esq.,) presiding. After a private and preliminary consideration of the subject, Mr. Henry Ford, solicitor, of Portsea, said he ap- peared for the prosecution, in reference to the death of Matilda Jane Lodge, which had occurred from ill-treat ment received on board the hulk to the Dauntless steam frigate. He asked the bench to grant an adjournment of the hearing, to allow of the necessary evidence being got together. Mr. James Hoskins, solicitor, of Gosport, said he ap• peared on behalf of the officers of the Dauntless, who had been requested by the Mayor to attend that court. Lieu tenant Seymour, Lieutenant Jervis, and Lieutenant Knight were present, in conformity with that request ; and other of the officers would have been present but that they were in attendance at a Court of Inquiry on board the ship. He (Mr. Hoskins) wished to know whether they were there as accused persons or as witnesses, or whether a portion were to be accused and the remainder to be witnesses against them. Mr. Ford - said at the present stage of the proceedings he could not say whether they were all, or one, or any •to be accused ; neither could he yet state.for what pur pose their presence would be required on any future oc casion. He would, however, by Friday next be prepared to take seine decided course in reference to the question. Mr. Hoskins's promise that the officers whose names had been mixed up with the subject would attend on Friday would be all that the prosecution would require. ➢Tr. Hoskins declined to give any promise on such a footing. If he were told that such and such of his clients were to have an accusation brought against them he would promise that they should attend ; and he would do the same if they were required as witnesses. After some further conversation, _ _ _ Mr. W. Leggett, superintendent of the Portsmouth borough police, deposed that he had charge of the pro secution in this case, and he said a postponement of it was necessary for securing the attendance of material witnesses, and which he believed he should be able to secure by Friday next. The case was then postponed till Friday. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.— The annual meeting of this association was held at Da ventry on Thursday last, and it was, we believe, in .all respects the most successful meeting the society has ever had. The showyard was full of excellent stock and poultry, the ploughing-field presented an animated scene, and the attendance was unprecedented for numbers. The offering of prizes for poultry is a novel feature, but, judging from the amount of competition and the excel-• lence of the birds shown, the committee will have no cause to regret its introduction. The dinner was held at the \Yheatsheaf Hotel. No room in the hotel being large enough for the purpose, a spacious pavilion was erected in the hotel yard. No trifling. addition was made to the cuisine by the liberality of Sir Charles Knightley, who generously sent three bucks to the din ner, and sent his own cook to dress the venison. Mr. Knightley, too, who had journeyed from the Highlands the day.before, brought with him a handsome donation of grouse, black game, and ptarmigan. Mr. Knighttey further contributed to the pleasure of the meeting by providing a company of professional singers from Lon don, who added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Upwards of 200 persons dined, Mr. Knightley, M.P., as president of the association, presiding, and the vice president, Sir Charles Ishato, occupying the vice-chair. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. To-day we have only to echo the report from Tat tersall's yesterday, viz. :—" A remarkably thin atten dance, and business extremely dull." Many causes which need not he mentioned here have contributed to bring this about. The principal one, how ever, this week is the fact of all the leading speculators having left for Newmarket, and the betting was almost exclusively confined to the events to be decided at that place.

RETFORD, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. - The Conservative Land Society has just made its first purchase in the Midland Counties, at West Rettord, close to the cele brated Cold Well. The estate is contiguous to the Great Northern Railway station, and near the junction sta tion of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, and commands extensive views of the Ganiston and Ashham woods and hills, and of the mausoleum of the Newcastle family in the wooded rennet of Markham Clinton. The river Idle bounds the estate. The tower and steeple of West Retford Church and the ancient castellated tower of the Parish Church of Retford being also included in the prospect. The edifice of the Cold Well spring, from the waters of which hot and cold baths will shortly be opened, is now in course of erec tion. ' TUNBRIDGE WELLS.—The Conservative Land Society has acquired a second property in this popular locality, close to the Woodbury Park estate, which was bought for the members some time since. This is the nineteenth purchase of laud for distribution amongst the share holders. MORE PROTECTION SOCIETY _HUMBUG. The daily organ of the Licensed Victuallers' Protec tion Society having at last broken its silence in reference to the existing dissensions among the publicans, we na turally looked for some defence of the past conduct of the committee of that body in promoting the passing of the Tiew Sunday Beer Bill. No such thing, however, is attempted ; but the present aim of the Morning Adver tiser appears to be, to divert attention from the injuries which the Protection Society Committee have inflicted upon the members of their own trade, and upon the pub lic, by falsely representing that there exists some ma tured Parliamentary scheme to be brought forward next Session for throwing open the trade to all who may choose to embark in it. Thus the Morning A dvertiser says— " From a variety of communications which have reached us we are gratified to learn that the country will go hand-in-hand with the licensed vicutallers in resisting any attempt which may be made next Session to do away with the licensing system, and to throw the trade open to all persons who choose to embark in it. Such a measure, if carried, would not only be fraught with ruin to the great majority of those now engaged in the trade, but it would be attended with moral and social con sequences which all would have to deplore. This isno mere opinion. It is a statement based on the existence of recog nised facts. It is proved from the existence of the past, and °lir observations of the present. A free trade in spiri tuous and other liquors has existed for some time in • Scotlend And what h as b een th e resu l t ? Wh y, t h at in large towns, Glasgow especially, there are some streets in which every third or fourth shop or cellar is appropriated to the sale of intoxicating drinks. It is unnecessary to say that the very fact of the existence of these innumerable receptacles for persons addicted to habits of inebriety implies another fact, namely—that they aro more or less largely patronised. The latter fact necessarily involves the prevalence of intem perance. To throw open the trade, therefore, would be an act synonymous with offering a premium for inebriety. Were the trade thrown open we should im mediately have a perfect swarm of public-houses in the metropolis, and in all parts of the country ; and, in order to obtain customers, every expedient would be resorted to which human ingenuity could suggest." Now, upon reading this alarming statement, we can imagine the kind of profuse cold sweat which must have come over many a comfortable and well-to-do publican at this threatened wholesale destruction of his tradeand property, and the dismal dreams of poverty and the workhouse which must afterwards have disturbed his night's repose. We can fancy that this alarming article must have cost a considerable consumption of brandy-and -water by Boniface himself, and mixed rather stiffishly, to comfort his nerves under the prospect of complete ruin which is here announced. We can, however, assure our nume rous friends, the publicans, that not the slightest ground exists for any apprehension as to their trade being thrown open by Parliament ; no such scheme, plan, or proposition is before the public, or has been recommended to Parliament. The statement of the Morning Advertiser is a perversion of the truth, only put out to cover the disgrace of the Protection Society Committee. Before proceeding, however, to say what has been proposed to Parliament, we must really plainly state that if the writer in the Morning Advertiser had seen the report from the Parliamentary committee on public-houses, he must have known that his statement was without foundation ; and if he had not read that report, then he was incompetent to write upon the subject to which his article refers. Let us, then, explain as plainly, and in as few words as possible, the scheme recommended by the Parliamentary comn3itteefor amending the present system of licensing public-houses. This scheme is contained in certain regulations adopted by the committee to which we refer, but as our purpose is to be intelligible, we avoid the order and language of the propositions, so that we may give the pith and purport of them. In the first place, then, it is proposed that the licenses of all existing public-houses and beer-shops should continue to be obtained exactly as they are at present, and at the existing rates of payment. With re spect to the licensing of new public-houses, it is proposed to make the granting of licenses compulsory on the magis trates, on compliance with certain conditions. In the first place every applicant for a new license must be a person of good character, and must himself give bond, and find two sureties to be bound with him for the due observance of the law, and the conditions upon which the license shall be granted. Secondly, the distinction existing between beer-shop and publicans' licenses in all new houses is to be abolished, and one uniform license only to be granted. No intoxicating drinks are to be sold without a license. The annual payment to be made for all new licenses is to be according to the following scale :—ln rural parishes and small towns, the lowest amount to be paid for a license is 61. ; in towns or parishes above 5,000 and under 10,000 it is to be 81. ; and to be increased 21. for every 5,000 inhabitants, but in no case to exceed 301. Now the practical operation of this increased charge for licenses will be this.—That in the metropolis, and in large towns such as Machester, Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham, &c., no new house can be opened for the sale even of beer without an expense of 301. annually. Beyond that, also, sureties are to be given for good behaviour. Let us now ask the Morn ing Advertiser and the Protection Society, whether this is such an alarming scheme for throwing their trade open as to justify the wild warnings and mis-statements con tained in the article Ncith which we have commenced this notice. On the contrary, are we not justified, on behalf of the public, in denouncing this scheme as one exactly adapted to increase the power of the great brewers, and to establish a giant monopoly such as exists in no other branch of trade.—Dispatelie A TRAVELLER'S ILTIP.RESSIO.N6 OF SEBASTOPOL. _ M. Kohl, who visited the Crimea about ten years ago, and whose "Travels in Russia" and other works are fhvourahly known to English readers, thus describes the fortifications and harbour of Sebastopol at that period : "No traces of the past are to be found about Sebas topol ; everything is smart, fresh, and bran new. The view of the city from a distance is very fine—its hand some buildings and churches rising as if directly out of the sea, whose waves, after roaring and dashing with out, find shelter within the walls and in spacious basins. These tranquil and secure harbours reflect the busy movements of 40,000 or 50,000 people in perpetual motion on land and water. It is absurd to find in our (the German) statistical tables Sebastopol rated as pos sessing only 5,000 inhabitants, whilst there are never less than 10,000 ; and there have now been for some time no less than 30,000 troops encamped round the city to work at the - fortifications, without counting the crews of the numerous ships of war constantly sta tioned here. The effect of all this warlike animation and bustle was greatly heightened to us by the contrast with the silence of the Tartar villages, ernbosorned in fruit trees, through which we had passed in approach ing it, while the immediate environs of the town are entirely destitute of trees, and as bald as the p a t e o f a Mussulman. A few days before our arrival the Russian fleet had returned from the Caucasus, and it exhibited many traces of the contests in which it had been en gaged with the tempests and the Circassians. The greater part of the best of the fortifications of Sebas topol date only from the reign of the present Emperor. The materials have been furnished by the soft limestone found in the neighbourhood, which a good deal resembles the shell limestone used in the building of Odessa. It is of so yielding a texture that balls would remain sticking in it as in sand. It would, however, be so much the more vulnerable to the attacks of time, as may be judged from the houses of Odessa, which are already falling to decay. For the present of course everything in Sebastopol is straight and in order, and it would afford a secure place of refuge for the Russian ships should they ever be driven by English gunpowder from the Dardanelles. One of the officers of the fleet had the kind ness to take me in his handsome yawl to see what was, perhaps, one of the most remarkable things in Sebasto pol, the marvellous docks now building for the navy. Nature has indeed freely contributed to this giant work, by preparing a long, straight, deep bay, protected on all sides. Nevertheless there yet remained enough to be done. The stone chiefly used in the construction of these docks is a beautiful, almost snow-white, limestone, in immense blocks, than which nothing can look better as long as they are new. Here and there a few blocks of granite may be seen." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH.

The increase to the supply of barley was but little. Some malsters are about to commence steeping, so that a further advance of is and 2s per qr. had to be paid to the grower.
