require judicious management, neither to enderstork
them and so ;remit a growth of coarse gram, or to
stock them too hard so as to prevent that constant
growth of grass which the fatting sheep and oxen
nquire. I shall hereafter advert to some of the
details of management on these fertile derp
bads of Lincolnshire t in the meantime I will
take a short review of the history of this fen district,
for whictr. ns well as en sec sent of its present state, it
is one cf tl ? most interesting district, in the king-
dom. The greet level of the fees extends into the
unties of Oambridge, Lincoln, Huntingdon, North-
ampton, Nortalk, and Suffolk, and is bounded by the
high lands of each of these counties. It contains an
area of upwards of 680.000 acres, and is about 70
miles in knatls, varying in bread Ii from 40 to 20
miles. Through this fist country there are flowing
sir large rivers, with tkir respective tributaries,
namely, the Ouse, the Cans, the Nese, the Welland,
the Glen, and the Witham. These are the natural
ontleJ of the waters from the uplands, but could
never have lien saffi, brat to carry off any tattier-
dinery downfall of rain, so that their overflow must
have cowardly flooded the level. The chief arse,
however, of the inundation of the fens consited in the
accumul 'lion of eilth at the ..utfalls of the rivers into
the sea, and the flow of the tide which drove back the
fresh water. Far ages toe work of improvement is
this fen district has been going on, though occasionally
from neglect, or other esuses, tracts once greatly im-
proved have for a time resumed their original deso-
lation. The Romans were the earliest improvers
of tce fens, and one of their weeks, the
" long mosey,* is an inabankmeat made of gravel,
three tvrt thief and platy feet broad, which extends
from Denver in Norfolk to Peterborough, a Glencoe
of twenty-four miles. This now is covered with peat,
in some places to the depth of five feat, bat beneath
it their work is found as firm and substantial as ever.
Retard, in Licoolishire, containing 100,000 acres,
ins also reclaimed by the Romero. Daring the
Saxes peridd the religious houses, which were nume-
rous in II i 4 district, appear to have been the chief
Improver" Richard de Roles, chamberlain to the
Corrpernr, reclaimed a considerable portion of Deep-
in., Fin, by excluding the Welland with • "mighty
bank ;" and on that bank the town was erected.

Moreion, Bishop Lf Ely, in the reign of Henry the
&Tenth, made a cut from Peterborough to Oeyhire
and Wiehech, which was a work of great importance
both to drainage and natio' ion, being forty feat wide
and four deep. A f art of this cutting bears to this
day the name of " Moreton's Learn."
Down to the time of Charles the First all the im-
provements were local, aid consequently pompom-
tively unimportant; and it is obvious that no general
improvement of this tract 000ld take place except
under seat oompulerry powers as weld only be exer-
cised by the state or those acting under its delegated
authonty.
In 1808 the fret local act of parliament for draining
the fens was passed, under which 8,000 acres in the
Isle of Ely a ere drained, and the adventurers received
two-thirds of the land reclaimed as their reemopenee.
In 1830 Francis Earl of B dford, with 19 eiradven-
tarns, undertook to drain the great level, on condi-
tion of receiving 06,000, and great works of
drainage were acoomplished. During the Common-
wealth the work proceeded under the conduct of
William, first Duke of Bedford, the son of Earl
Francis, in conjunction with a new company of par-
ticipants. The well known Z. slander, Sir Cornelius
Vermuydsn, was engaged as the director of the
winks and, ander his stiperiatendecoe the level wee
partitioned sad laid out as it remains at this day. To
detail his namerene and ABM works would convey
little idea of the task be accomplished : to be appre-
ciated the country should be visited. The result of
these opera:Woe in the north and middle levels, the
tract I am dealing with, was that the
face of the country began to mese the
appearinee of fertility and agricultural prosperity

stated that is these two levels, in 1832, " about
41),,55l acres were sown with colsera, wheat, and
other winter grain, besides innumerable quantities of
sheep, cattle, and other stock, where never had beer
any holore." Deeper; Fee, that Imp tract between
Spa'c'ing and beeping, bounded on the south ease by
the Welland and on the north by the river Olen, was
drained by • company of adventurers in the reign of
Charles the Find. In th's reign also the Earl of Lind-
sey drained a narrow reach of fen land lying to the
north of Deopieg Fen, and containing 36,000 acres,
accepting ea his recompenee 24,000 acres; apparently
en exorbitant proportion, which perhaps accounts for
the WI that, after the earl and his participants had
enjoyed their lands for two years, " the third year,
in contentr of the orders of parliament, the country
peopls entered and destroyed the drains and build-
ings, as also the crops then ready to be reaped," so
that the land was reduced to its former wet sad un-
cultivated rate. Northward of this district Bee •
rich tract of 40,000 acres, extending front Wainfieet
to li)stnn to the river Witham and Tettershall, which
was also drained in the time of Charles 1. Here,
too, during the civil WIZ' the country people
levelled the inelosures, burnt the corn and houses,
killed many of the occupiers, and destroyed the drain-
age works, an the country was again inundated. But

wee passed, the impro:ement of the Les hes bees

dras it et wheat cultivation, is quits ou-
tdoing, an itommeral adoption and the improve-
meat from stion drainage have so condensed the
be land as to render paring and burning almost
obsolete. From swampy unfruitful plains the fens
have become one of the most fertile districts in the
kingdoms. The cost of claying the land is from 21. to
41. per acre, according to the depth from which the
clay has to be lifted.
The improvement effected by slaying the fee land
has been surprising. Many of the more soccepsfal
farmers in the districts adjoining the fens have be-
come the purchasers of fen land at the periods of
drsinsge when s me of the poorer owners were un-
able to bear the cost of improvement, and have thus
fen farms of their own, often obtained at a merely
nominal price. Near Ramsey and the clayland dis-
trict, in Huntingdonshire, I described in a former
letter, land has been purchased, after the execution
of general drainage works, for lees than 101. pm'
acre • sod, from claying and good cultivation
subre:quently, is now worth from 30s. to 40s. per acre
of annual rat. Hero are farms which, seventy years
ago, v ere held at 51. per acre, now worth 601. per
acre ; and there is a farm of 600 scree, bought about
twenty-five years since at 91., which might now be
sold at 361. per acre. The wheat stop Is the principal
one of the clayed fen land ; and by farming it
highly, using oil cake, boom, rape. cake, &c.,
the bat farmers obtain wheat in alternate
yenrs. An ordinary course of cropping with these
fen-farmers i—lst year, rape or calmed, fed off by
sheep; tad year, wheat; 3rd year, graos and clover,
once mown and then fed off; 4.11 year, wheat; iti•lt
year, wheat; Bth yrar, beans; and then, 7th year,
wheat *Rain. The green crop. and the beans are
invariably put in with manure of some kind or other.
Sometimes oats are alma after the coleseed instead of
wheat. Turnips do s$ succeed is the fens, bat large
crops of mangold warsid and carrots are grown.
Lorg-woalled sheep are generally fed on the ooleseed,
and it is wonderful how they thrive. On some of the
b-st farm, the wheat crops average six quarters per
acre, and single fields often produce as much as seven
and eight quarters to the acre. The great peril of
the fen farmer is the mildew, from which I fear so
much injury will be this year sustained on such land.
In Moray Lordship, part of the north level, the land
is remarkably well managed, and the farm steadier
are particularly neat and convenient. This lordship
contains about 17,000 acreP, and is wholly the pro
perty of the Doke of Bedford. It is worthy of note,
that much of the fen lend, which formerly was most
valuable pasture land, bee become, since the modern
improvements in fen drainage, too dry for pasture,
and consequently has been all converted into arable
culture.

Writing in 1799, of the lands is Beeping Fen,
Arthur Young says,—" Twenty years ago, the
lands sold for about 31. per acre ; some was
then let at 7s. and Bs. per acre, and a great
deal was in such a state that nobody would
rent; now it is it general worth 20e. per acre, and
sells at 2W per acre. Steam drainage and °laying
have now doubled the value of this land. The Deep-
leg Fen farmers manure for every acre of wheat they
sow, except after poleased. Here the rotation is, 1-t
coleend or partly roots; 2nd, what; 3rd, clover or
seeds ; 4th, what; 6th, oats, or, ocomionslly, been.
Occasionally, whsa it is desired to improve the laud,

oake for the purpose of obtaining manure.

of the farms. Pipe tiles are used only to a limited
extent, the old fashioned tile or slate being pre-
ferred. The land is slikey arable, a few pastern fields
only being kept in gross near the homesteads. Heni
it is difficult to my that there is any rotation, for the
land is so fertile that if it be kept clean and farmed
with ordinary judgment it is sure to produce good
crops. Perhaps, some kind of five field muse may

It was otherwise, however, with the shed near which the

RAILWAY MEETINGS.
SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM.
The half yearly meeting of the proprietors in this
nearrtshlsi erne held at the Lion Hotel, threwebury, yes-
terdsy ; the Hon. R. Cute, M.P., in the chair.
Mr. KNOX, the secretary, read the report and statement
of mounts which appeared in the Repress on the 4th
look
The attendance of shareholdeel was 11111613111, having to
view the feet that the place of holding the meeting was
Shrewsbury.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that the abseam of Ito chairman of the company was
unavoidable; It armee from circumstances of a private OR-
roam, and the attention which the hon. gentleman rid
always ain't to the interests of the company would, he
hoped, be a sofillaient apolo,iy for hie absence on this single
INWIWOB. Referring to the report, the hen. gentleman went
On toesy that It mast be a matter of coogratulation to all
that, nada all the difficulties in which this company had
been pieced, their rineeme had gradually increamd ; and so
cones W the Roar Valley line was opened to Birmingham,
he had no doubt but that their traffic would
M greatly increased, and that the line would
moos be profitably worked for the shareholders.
He regretted as mad as any one the differences which @e-
lated with the Leedom sad North Western Company; there
was no doubt that those differences were highly injurious to
this company, and far Ens part ho would take any tremble,
whatever it might be, to put an end to them ; tkie was the
=of Ns cdleagnes on the board of direction, and be
that before very long this very unseemly otiosto.t
would be pat an end to. I', show the spirit which actuated
the chairman in title matter, be called upon the secretary to
read a correspondence between Mr. Glyn the chairman of
the London end North• Western Company, and Mr. Gore,
the ehainnan of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, Irom
which it appeared that Mr. One propmed to Mr. Glyn to
refer the differences existing to arbitratioa. The director
of the London and North-Western Company declined, unless
the Shrewsbury and Birmingham gave up ea agreement re-
no the Shrewsbary and Linda, traffic (ries the Shrop-
shire Caton line from Wellington to StatArd), which the
Court of Cheacetry hal decided la favour of the Shrewsbury
end Birmingham Company. He (the elsairstan) thought it
tight that this correspondence should be read, bemuse it
showed that after all a good feeling misted, and ere long he
hoped some arrangement would be made by which all mat-
ters of disputa would be amicably settled. He concluded by
make.' the adoption of the report, which was seconded by
Mr. W. CILLPICB, of Birmingham.
Upon this a long and desultory dismission took place with
regard ban easement between the Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham and Shrewsbury and Chester Companies, for the
purpose of the mutual protection of their through Moine
from Liverpool to Wolverhampton. This agreement did not
allow either company to arrange with any other company
without both beicg cremating parties. II either party broke
the agreement, it entitled the seceding party to the right
of wing the other lee to prevent its creek being shut out.
Me. BIRD, Mr. ORACK, and other influential shareholders
contended that Ode agreement, wt ich had led to unpleasant
conseatesces, ought not to have been entered into without
the imessat of the skareholden.

.--...
The CHAIRMAN intimated that at the last half-yearly
to et thersompany the directors stated they had en-
tered Isle an agreement with the Shrewsbury and Cheater
Oswepany, sad that they proposed to make such an agreement
eat. The agreement was soon afterwards sealed.
ger ;lathes understood they were making the agreement
adder the saltation of the ahareholders. What the directors
had dose they had done coascientiuosly, and if they bed
failed to acoomplish all tint was reqitired by the proprietors
they meld tent help it.
Mr. THORNRYCROPT, of Wolverhampton (one of the
directors), believed that the agreement wee for the good of
the company. He bad been ansious to obtain an adjustment
of all difficulties, and for that purpose had had an interview,
along with a deputation from their company, with the Loo-
med North Weston' directors in London. He was most
desirous that a contest, in which the Birmingham and
Shrewsbury had had in their favour two decisions of
the VieeChancollor and one of the Lord Chaaeellor of
England, should be fulfilled. Those objects were at present
defeated. All the Birmingham and Shrewsbury Company
wanted was justice, and aitimately he entertained no doubt
that they should preveil.
After further discusser* the report of the directors was re-
ceived and adopted. •
Mr. OLIVER then moved the appointment of a depute.
lien t c infer with the director. of the London and N orth-
Western Company with a view to au amicable gcment
of the disputes between the two companies.
The motion of Mr. Oliver was &messed at considerable
length, was opposed by Mr. Alderman Gesell and Mr.
Akroyd, and ultimately withdrawn.
The retiring directors was ft-elected; and Mr. Akroyd,
of Stourbridge, was elected auditor in the stead of Mr.
Castles, to whom a vote of thanks was proposed by the
chairman.

On the motion of Mr. HAINES, of Brougham, a motion
was agreed to suggesting a traffic erring( meat with the
Chester and Birkenhead Company, similar to that existing
with the Shrewsbury sad Caee•.er Company.

El., Delineate, coalman of the board of directors, in the
chew.

16. J. B. BOLDBN, the Secretary, read the report.
The directors stated they had the satisfaction to report the
eontinued prosperity of the undertaking.
TA* usual statement of ICCollati was appended to the re-
port, and the direiron had great pleasure in announcing that
the net receipts during the half-year would admit of a divi.
deed after the rate of 5 per coat. per annum, besides carry-
ing forward a somewhat larger balance than lest heftiest.;
that dividend, therefore, the directors recommended on the
• occasion.

The statement of the traffic amount for the hall year end•
Mg July 31, 1860, showed the receipts, Inclusive of
3,2261 64., the amount of balance brought forrtud, to be

and adopted, and that a dividend of 6 par cent. per annum
be declared.

ton and auditor were re-elected, and thanks bating been
voted to the chairman, the proceedings terminated.

object of the prisoner was to get rid of her husband, in order
to marry a man named Curtis, who led her to the altar
within a month alter Harris's death. It is now said that
she was never married to Harris, and therefore could have
