THE 14,1‘110BE5TEE CO2 STABEIART AND POLICE.—
The whole amount of the constabulary, up to yestarriab waa
12,000 spends, of whom about 600 are under drill as a
volunteer municipal guard, and have already. msde such
progress in their training as to form a very efficient body of
men ; and in addition to these the police has been increased
to an effectivo force of sa, trained to military exercise, and
a body of pensionen has been called up and urganised, and
are stationed at the Regent-road barracks. About 200 of
the police are armed with cutlasses, and another large body
with pikes or halberds. There is every appearance of com-
plete quiet in Manchester at present, and the meetings o
chartists within the last few days have been Ina frequent.

report of the Associated Meeting of Trades for the Organi-
sation of Labour, at hlanchester, that a petition had been
Mrdssed to the legittature, and that it was to be entrusted
to r. Bright for presentat ion. It ham sinco been for warded,
ar.d the hon. member has returned an answer, in which he
says :

WARWICKSHIRE.
EXECETION VoltslVitrifilt.—.l he man Davies, who
was convicted at the last assizes for the murder of his wife,
at Birmingham, and upon whose behalf exertions have been
made to obtain a reprieve, was executed on Friday, at
Warwick. The grounds up in which the Secretary of State
was implored to grant a reprieve were those of insanity and
extreme provocation upon the part of the victim of hie fury.
Sir George Grey intimated that he had r:terreil the memorial
to Mr. Justice Mauls, by whom the man was condemned,
and his lorefehip had replied that he had no reason to recom-
mend any mitigation of the sentence. As %suet, in eases of
public execution. the immediate neighbourhood of the
scaffolel was crowded by parties anxious to view the revolt-
ing spectacle; and, amongst other incidents of the occasion,
it was noticed that people in the crowd were seen holding up
their children to enable tinin to witness the death of a fellow-
creature! The execution, says the reporter, was fixed or
eleven o'clock, hut the under-sheriff, Mr. Whateley, did not
arrive in town WI past that hour ; some delay aecessarily
ensued. Some few minutes to twelve, the prisoner and offi-
cers of the prison ascended the drop, and the guilty man
quickly paid the penalty of his offence.
KENT.
DOTER REFEGE lIARBOtR. The works of this
national undertaking have now been commenced in good
earliest. During the last few months vessels have arrived
with a large quantity of stone, while the preliminaries for
a commencement have be en actively prosecuted ; and last
week the foundatian stone of the breakwater was laid, and
considerable progress is now making in its extersion sea
ward. The very low tides lately have greatly tended to faci-
litate operations in the removal of the sunken apron at the
old harbour mouth. By the removal of this apron, and a
little other deepening, steam packets will be enabled to lease
the harbour at all but dead low water.
DORSETSUIRE.
VISIT TO A MODEL FARM.—ThE attention of the
Wilts Agricultural Society having been called to the speech
of the Rev. A. Huxtable, delivered at Sturminster, and a
deputation having been appointed to visit his farm., and re-
port upon the management, &c., and more particularly to
inquiet into the detail of the extraordinary successes of Mr.
in the grazing of sheep. the gentlemen forming that de-
putation have revved the result of a visit made to the
model farm. Mr. Iluxtalile occupies two farm', one called
the West Farm. the other the Hill Farm. We (say the
deputation) first visited the former, which we will proceed to
describe. The extent of this term is 100 acres, the greater
portion of which is a heavy loam upon a yellow clay 'ahead,
a part of which has been converted from pasture into arable
land by Mr H. It has been all thoreuehly drained. At
the time of our visit there were about 3S head of cattle, of
which 18 were milch co as, and the remainder young stock ;
and four horses, but no sheep, they having been removed to
the Hill Farm the day previous. The dairy of the West
Farm consists of 18 cont. which are kept on bare boards,
under sheds of a very temporary construction ; the boards
are grooved, and on an incline, to give a run to their manure.
The solid part of the latter drops into a gutter. and be swept
out twice a day, and conveyed to a shed. The urine runs
into a general tank. 'I he tood of the cows consisted of cut
straw and swedes, with the exception of those which had
calved, Which were getting two pounds of linseed compound
in addition per diem. The deputation being most anxious
to 1 ,arn what constituted the great " pig secret" ceacerning
which Mr. 11. spoke so much at Sturminster, were surprison
ed
to discover that the grazing pies were partly feeding
boiled swedes and barley meal, and some on barley meal
alone. They were making considerable progress ; but the
deputation could not draw any inference as to the compara-
tive value of the barley meal alone, and the barley meal and
swedes, as the pigs were of such different characters. Nor
could they obtain front the bailiff any accurate account of
the quantity of barley weal they were eating per day. The
store pigs were kept on the refuse of mangold wurzel in
great profusion, and were lying in sheds, with plenty of litter.
The wheat generally looked well, with the exception of a
piece at the West Farm, where it was put in after Ica'',
rye grass, the sward of which hail not been properly turned
in, and many of the furrows still unbroken. The clover and
Italian rye gray on both farms looked well. Mr. H.'s sys-
tem of management of manure seems to consist in the en-
deavour to render all the solid portion fit for drilling with
his roots, and the liquid is conveyed to a general tank, and
then, by means of a force-pumm is driven through wooden
pipes laid in the ground, so that it can be thrown over any
part of the farm. At regular distances of about one hundred
smile, upright nozzles are inserted into these piper, and to
them is attached a hose, which allows the liquid to be
showered over the crowed. Occasionally the liquid is poured
:rum the heee urn muck hears, which are laid at c nvenient
places. Of the application of this liquid portion of the
manure the deputauon think that great credit is due to Mr.
H. for the experiment about to be made, which they treat
may prove satisfactory in its practical working, but consider
the expense too heavy fer the tenant-farmer to incur, andiY
applicable to certain situations. With respect to the
former process of rendering the solid manure drillable, the
deputation Leliere that, although practicable, the result is
not equivalent to the expense incurred in its management,
inasmuch as the manure :s of the weakest possible character,
as far as the valuable ingredients of phosphate of lime,
potash, soda, and nitrogen in the form of gluten, are con-
cerned, nearly the entire quantity of these substances being
absorbed in the production cf milk. If the beasts were fat.
toning, or oven being kept in stock order, without milking,l
the result would certainly ha more advantageous. They
believe that, alter the expense of mixing with ashes, turning
and general peep tratinn, and taking into consideration the
bulk of carnage, guano at its present price, and the other
artificial manatee, would be more beneficial and econo-
mical in their appiication.
