AG.RICULTU_k.E.

IMPORTATION OF GIVANO.---According to an official
document, there has been a large increase in the im-
portation of guano. In ten months ended the sth
November last year, it was 170,667 tons, and in the
same period ended the 31st October, this year, it was
235,723 tons.

CI7LTIVATION OF LAND.---At a recent agricultural
meeting, Lord Stanley mentioned that there are
77,000,000 of acres in the United Kingdom, of which
47,000,000 are cultivated well or badly, 15,000,000
cannot be cultivated, and are waste bynature,ls,ooo,ooo
may be cultivated, but have not been reclaimed—that
is to say, that of the entire soil of the country we cul-
tivate well or badly three-fifths. It is calculated that,
by supplying to the fullest extent the resources of
modern science, we might draw from the land three
times the present amount of the sustenance which it
yields. We feed say 20,000,000 persons with the pro-
duce of this country ; if the resources of the country
were fully developed, it would be in our power to feed
not 20,000,000, but 60,000,000. This states a most
important fact which ought to be always present to
our minds, and we should not cease our exertions till
the possibility of feeding 60,000,000 persons by the
growth of our own soil should have become a reality.

The charges made by the Health Committee; to the owners
of houses, for'making communicating drains; were brought
before the Council by Mr. -BRADLEY and Mr. Pwrolf ; but
from explanations made by the. MAYOR, the Towx-cmus,
and Mr. DovEs,, it appeared that the right of owners to drain
their own property was expressly reserved by the act of Par-
liament, and was not, to be Interfered with—that it was only
where the owners neglected, after notice, to drain, that the
Health Committee interfered; and that the questieri of charge
for work done by the committee, in reference to houses- not
otherwise drained, is, upon the whole, favourable- to the
owners.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

THE Morning Post of yesterday says :—We have received
the following from Vienna, Its accuracy may be relied on :
" VIENNA, Dec. 16.

" Count Esterhazy leaves to-day for St. Petersburg. It is
understood that he is the bearer of most important des-
patches, containing the propasals for a pacification, as finally
resolved on."

The Post says that the tenor of the contents of the Aus-
trian ultimatum is no secret. Annihilation of Russia's
maritime supremacy in the Black Sea by the exclusion of all
ships of war, by the dismantling of her fortresses on its coast,
and by the residence of consuls who certify that no purposes
but those of legitimate commerce are ever attempted to be
compassed, would free Turkey from all danger by sea, whilst
the utter renunciation of all rights of interference with the
Sultan's dominions or his subjects, together with the cession
of a portion of Bessarabia, comprising the mouth of the
Danube, would secure to the Porte the undoubted possession
of its European territorial rights. These conditions, when
confirmed by material guarantee, as well as by treaty, would
solve the Eastern question.

Other important terms, it is sure, are demanded, such as that
Bomarsund should not be rebuilt, but of these the Post does
not wish to say more than that all is exactly and finally laid
down.

There are but two answers possible, namely, a positive re-
fusal or a positive acceptance. No evasive answer, no condi-
tional acceptance, and no counter propositions will be received.
It will probably take Count Esterhazy about five or six days
to reach St. Petersburg, and, if we mayjudge by precedent, some
14 days will be allowed the Emperor to consider his resolution
and give his answer. If Russia can humble her pride, she
may say " Yes;" then immediately follows an armistice and
a settlement. If, however, she cannot entirely and at once ac-
cept the bitter consequences of her own ambition and fool-
ishness, then she must face the extraordinary force which will
be brought to bear against her in the next campaign, and
which, under Heaven, will certainly reduce her to a state of
which the terrible necessities will make her yield to our terms.
The cabinet of St. Petersburg may not, however, see matters
in this light.

will look clear when dressed ; pare and cut into pieces
the form of a brick, a sufficient quantity to weigh a
pound and a half; strew over them a pound of good
Lisbon sugar and several long strips of lemon-peel,
and cover them close in a bowl. Next day put the
apples piece by piece into a small preserving pan with
the sugar, &c., and two large spoonfuls of strong cider.
Simmer gently, and as the pieces of apple become clear
take them out. When cold, build a wall with them
on a small oval dish, and place the lemon-peel on the
top ;' pour the syrup into the middle. Serve cream to
eat with it. The peel of China orange cut very thin
does as well as a lemon.

STEWED PEARS.—Pare and halve or quarter large
pears, according to their size ; throw them into water
as the skin is taken off, before they are divided, to
prevent their turning black. Pack them round a
block-tin stewpan, and sprinkle as much sugar over
them as will make them pretty sweet, and add lemon-
peel, a clove or two, and, some allspice cracked; just
cover them with water, and put some of the red liquor
as below. Cover them close, and stew three or four
hours ; when tender, take them out, and pour the
liquor from them.

COLOURINGS TO STAIN JELLIES, ICES, AND CAKES
RED.—Boil fifteen grains of cochineal in the finest
powder, with a drachm and a half of cream of tartar,
in half a pint of water, very slowly, half an hour. Add
in boiling a bit of alum the size of a pea. Or, use
beet-root sliced, and some liquor poured over. For
white, use almonds finely powdered, with a little drop
of water ; or use cream. For yellow, yolks of eggs or
a bit of saffron steeped in the liquor and squeezed ;
likewise the flower of the crocus, which has no taste.

asked the defendant if she had any questions to ask.
Defendant : Oh, glory be to God, gentlemen, what am
I to ask her ; here am I, poor mother Davis, with no
one to befriend me. (Laughter.)—The defendant said
that about two years ago she was "jolly drunk," when
it was her misfortune to encounter the complainant,
and. " Oh, gentlemen," continued she, " did she not
give me a walloping neither ; I just guess she did, and
so I owed her one for her nob."—(Roars of laughter.)
Mr. Pilkington : Well, have you anything else to say?
Defendant : Say, yes, that I was lawfully married at
the old church, and although my old man gives me
more kicks than half-pence for getting " muzzy," and
sometimes " glorious," he never sends me on the streets
like that cattle there, I'm lawfully married, and bless
my stars, don't he let me know it.—(Continued merri-
ment, in which the bench joined.) The farce was put
an end to by the magistrates fining her 10s and 7s. 6d.

Then I'll go to Northleach and live in retirement ; a
country life is exceedingly pleasant ; nothing like rural
felicity. Here, policeman, take me down.— (Roars of
laughter.)—Gloucester Journal.

THE HUSBAND ABROAD.— The husband, when
travelling abroad with his wife and family, is very
little better than a superior servant. He has to
engage the rooms, examine the bills, bully the porters,
settle the accounts, pay the fares, and, at every fresh
halt, to count the children and boxes to see that they
are all right. He no sooner arrives at a place late at
night than he has to make arrangements for leaving
early the next morning. In short, his duties are to
look after everything, to run wherever he is told, to
fetch everything that is wanted, and to make himself
generally useful. He should be the last to go to bed,
and the first to rise ; always ready at a moment's call,
uniformly civil, and attentive ; he fills all the func-
tions of a courier without any of the pay or power, or
sweet authority and important dignity of one, much
less any of the smiles or roadside presents, the delicate
attentions and nice titbits, whioh generally made the
cushion of the courier such a soft and easy one to
travel upon. Like a courier, the husband is invested
with the money-bag, and has to get the money pro-
perly changed into the coin of the country he is pass-
ing 'through, and to see that there is as little loss as
possible upon each new exchange ; but, unlike a courier,
it is his proud prerogative to fill, the money-bag as
often as it is empty.---Punch's Pocket Book.

THE RUSSIANS ON THE NORTH SIDE.

The Times' correspondent, on the 24th of November, says:—
The Russians, having made good roads between their camps,
and having established themselves comfortably on the othr
side of the Tchernaya, seem resolved to give us an uneasy time
of it in Sebastopol, and never ceased firing to-day from one end
of the bay to the other.
I ventured to express an opinion,
almost immediately after the capture of the south side, that the
enemy's preparations intlicatedto the intention of wintering where
they lay. We have all been
a(civpai;one, not only in England,
but out here, to calculate on advantages to be gained by the
privations to which the enemy exposed, or by imagin-
ary wants to which they were likelY,inotr opinion, to be sub-
iiiteh all musitions
sub-
jected. But the Russian is well supplied
of war, and with the means of subsistence. ;

as will enable him to meet the allies in every

is not because St. Valdimir was converted in the Crimea that
Prince Gortschakoff holds Iltlackenzie's Farm and the plateau
of the Belbek and Tchernaya. But he knows that until he is
dislodged the allies are paralyzed, and that they can establish
no safe basis of operations against IkrichOlaieff or Cherson while
he is at Simpheropol, for it would be contrary to common
sense to leave such an army in their rear and flank. He
hopes, therefore, either to be able to hold the Crimea neat
campaign, or to be able to make such dispositions in the event
of a great defeat as will insure the safe retreat of his army by
Perekop and Tchongar, and perhaps by a third road, of the
existence of which across the Sivash there are very strong in-

AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

RPOOL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1855.

its cloudless skies, are all thrown together with
the careless prodigality of an enthusiastic yet con-
summate artist, and the result of the whole is a
series of tableaux of rare power and suggestive
beauty.
The skill of the descriptive artist and the zeal
of the evangelizing missionary are not by any
means the only claims to notice which are put
forth by Mr. Porter. He is scarcely less enthu-
siastic as an archaeologist, or less devoted as a
scholar ; and although in these latter points his
success may by some be considered equally great,
success on these matters, which are almost from
their very nature controversial, are less generally
understood, and by the multitude are looked on
in a great degree as " caviare," when compared
with a lively narrative, or contrasted with the
glowing picture of some scene instinct with life,
and richly coloured with the vivid hues of
Oriental manners.

Damascus, as is well known, is situated in a
beautiful plain on the east margin of the Eastern
Lebanon. The plain is watered by numerous
streams, which flow from the mountains eastward
into the Desert, where their surplus waters form a
lake or marsh, called Bahr-el-margi, or Lake of the
Meadows. This plain is so large, that its bound-
ing hills on the north and south are barely visible
from the opposite sides ; and the combination of
plain and city is striking and beautiful, from
whatever point the picture is surveyed. The
city of Damascus has long occupied a conspicuous
place on the page of Eastern history, and the
lustre of its beauty, together with its renown,
keep it still gratefully before the eye of the
learned, as its mercantile fame gives it interest in
the ranks of the commercial world. It forms a
central emporium to Indian and Persian traders,
and absorbs the carrying trade of a large portion
of the East. The silks and fruits of Damascus
are sent to all quarters of the East ; and its cut-
lery has acquired a fame which it would be diffi-
cult to destroy. Such a city and such a district,
with its long-drawn traditions stretching far into
the mists of hoar antiquity, and easily traceable
through a series of revolutions which connect it
with the present, under the treatment of even an
ordinary writer, could not have failed to form a
theme of interest, and might have constituted a
tale of wonder, as they have often done before.
In the hands of Mr. Porter they have been
invested with the charming vivacity of romance,
combined with the solid value of reality. To
him all is suggestive—all is full of meaning. He
details many scenes charming in the voluptuous
luxury of their accompaniments, and striking in
their intrinsic and rich beauty. Take as an
illustration of Mr. Porter's descriptive style, and
of the usually luxurious taste in which the rich
inhabitants of Damascus decorate their mansions,

CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE RUSSIAN GOVERN.
MENT.

The Paris pair Patrie says, that to the external difficul-
ties she has at present to contend with, Russia is about to
become a prey to internal dissensions of a most serious
character. Private information enables the Patrie to state
that a pest has broken out in the heart of the Empire to
overthrow the government of the Czar. Members of the
first families are, as usual, to be found among the conspira-
tors. The Patrie, not indicating the source from whence
this intelligence extraordinary is derived, says it should be re-
ceived with the greatest caution.

deception practised on her, that she could still
love on ? No, the idol she had once adored had
proved a hideous monster—her love had fled, and
her heart was breaking. Yet to the last she re-
fused to leave, him, with her English home, com-
fort, and a kind welcome offered her ; her sole
earthly desire to see him better prepared for the
eternity to which she was herself so rapidly hasten-
ing. And thus slie died and slept at last in
peace—another of the many examples of woman's
folly and of woman's constancy, and of severe
and bitter punishment for one fault. No sooner
was she dead than her prayers seemed answered.
Cadotte was inconsolable, and obtaining leave
from his employers for a week, he devoted it to
building a tomb over her grave. Here every
evening, it is said, he goes, and, moaning, prays
for her his cruelty has destroyed. From that
time he became an altered man. Shunning
society, as soon as his daily work was done, he
would retire to his hut; where he would read and
meditate half the night through. Thus, it is said,
he still occupies his time.
