DECLARATION OF THE POLL.
The result of the poll for the East Surrey election was
officially announced yesterday by the High Sheriff,
G. H. smtoto E3q., in the Town-hall, Croydon. The
town was in a stets of excitement from an early hour,
bands of music rarading the streets, and the successful
party in the contest disposying various other manifesta-
tions of delight. This party, however, were doomed to
divide the applause with a company that made a mere
extensive and varied show of power. This was no other
than Cook's Elneettian establishment,; and shortly
before the arrival of the candidates the members
of this company, both male and female, and
including a couple of elephants, an ostrich, and
several other animels of " foreign production,' marched
in procession through the leading streets and thorough-
fares of the town. It was announced that the declara-
tion would take place at twelve o'clock, but punctuality
is unknown in Surrey, and it was considerably past that
time before the proceedings were commenced. The
doors of the hall, however, ware thrown open at twelve
o'clock, aad immediately afterwards the budding became
thronged almost to suCcation. The casting-up" of the
votes engaged the attention of the Sheriff for more
than an hour, and in the meanwhile the "free and in-
dependents" amused themselves with passing sarcastic
comments upon the conduct of two electors, one in the
body of the hall and the other on the platform, who had
deserted the Liberal for the Conservative side, and
polled for Antrobus and Cleasby. One of them, it
would seem, was a watchmaker, while the other was a
shoemaker, and the " free and independents" offered
them the alternative of being kicked out or singing a
comic song; but the Sheriff coming upon the scene at
this moment, neither alternative was enforced.
The HIGH SHERIFF presented himself to the electors
shortly before two o'clock, and said it was now his
duty to commence the last act in the political drama of
the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey.—(Hear,
hear.) He had to inform them that the gross state of
the poll *as as follows :
Thomas Alcock, Esq.... 2,508
Locke King, Elci. ... 2,500
E. Antrobus, jun., Esq. ... 2,064
A. Cieesby, Esq. ... 1,928
giving a majority for Mr. Alcock over Mr. Antrobus of
444 votes, and for Mr. Lecke King over llr. Antrobus,
of 436; and had therefore officially to declare that
Thomas Alcock, Esq. and Locke King, Esq., had both
been duly elected to servo as knights of the shire in the
next Parliament, for the Eastern Division of the county
of Surrey.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ALcocK said the contest had been fought vigo-
rously on both sides, and it had been fought on all hands
in a highly creditable manner.—(Hear, hear.) The
peace of the county had not been disturbed, nor had
any interrupt* taken place to trade, and he begged
heartily to thank the Liberal electors who placed him at
the head of the poll.—(Hear.) Being now the represen-
tative of the Eastern Division of the county, it would be
his daty and pleasure to listen to the wants of either
One side or the other, but more especially to attend
to the nation's interests.--(Cheers.) A closer race had
never been run for any Derby than this.—(A laugh.)
It had been a neck and neck affair from beginning to
end, and he hoped the Liberal electors would take care
that the victory they had obtained should not be tar-
nished,—(lleac, hear.) Let the non-electors follow the
example of their fellows in the West Riding of York-
shire, and became small freeholders, for the sake of the
Parliamentary franchise.—(Hear, hear.) By this means
they could add at least 5,000 votes to the ail
re-
gister, and as the purchase could be made
with a prospect of 30 per cent., he hoped and believed
his advice would be universally followed.—(Hear, hear.)
Law was now cheep, and some of that cheapness was
due to Lord Darby, and the conveyances which he was
recommending could be obtained at little expense.—
(Hear, hear.) Now let Lord Derby go in the same
direction with regard to the taxes upon the other neces-
saries of life, and the Noble Lord should have
his support.—(Hear, hear.) A man with 12e. a
week paid as much in taxes as the man
who had 3,0001. Consols in the Bank of England paid in
the shape of income-tax.—(Hear, hear.) For instance.
while the income-tax on that amount was 41. 73. 6d., his
ploughman with 123. a week paid in ho
shape of
indi-
rect taxes on his tea, So., 4/. 9s.—(Hear, hear.) Again
thankinc, them for the honour they had done him, he
assured them that they might always rely upon his
doing his duty, or he should expect to be paid off as he
deserved when he came before them again.—(Cheers.)
Mr. LOCKE KING said this was a glorious achievement
for free trade. The battle had been nobly fought, and
indeed nobly won, and his warmest thanks were due to
the committees who had managed the details of the
election.—(Hear.) It was a triumph for the electors of
East Surrey, because it would be remembered ect
that at
the nomination it was the electors, and not their prevhioeuis
Members, who were accused of having changed r
opinions.—(Hear , hear.) It was said at the time,
in fact, that East Surrey had been
misrepre-
sented in Parliament for the last five years,
bat the result of this election would satisfy the
country that the charge was without foundation.—
(Hear, hear.) He should go back to Parliament deter-
mined to oppose the present Government in every fair
and legitimate way.—(Hear, hear.) It was a Govern-
meat utterly destitute of principle, and if he could have
a treater day of pleasure than this it would be that in
which he
saw the Derby Government fall.—(Hear, hear.)
He should,however, continue to support the rights of
the Crown,
and while vindicating the principles of the
Constitution, he
should do all in his power to destroy
the abuses of the Established Church,—(Cheers.)

For the plaintiff, Mr. W. H. Adams and Mr. Sergeant

Miller.
This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The
defendant, it appeared, had originally denied the making of
the promise alleged in the declaration, but subsequently
withdrew
plea. This was, therefore, an execution of a
writ
inquiryissued by the Court of Exchequer to assess
the damages.
Mr. Sergeant Mita..F.n, in a long and effective speech, de-
tailed the various circumstances of this case, which are as fol-
low :The plaintiff, Fanny Bird, is now about 26 years of age,
and was brought up at Ockerton at her father's house,
which is 16 miles from Nottingham. Plaintiff's father
is a farmer renting 150 acres of land near Southwell,
and, besides the plaintiff, has two sons and a daughter.
At Ladyday, 1850, plaintiff's father took a small farm of 36
acres, and a water corn mill at Sherland-park for the plain-
tiff's brother, Richard John Davidson Bird, who was then
just about 22 years of age. By the express wish of her
parents the plaintiff went to keep her brother's house, he
being a bachelor. Plaintiff accordingly left Ockerton on the
Bth of April, 1850, and went to Shirland-park, having never
been from home before, except as a visitor. On the day of
her arrival she was introduced to Mr. George Bansall, the
defendant. He was residing at Shirland-park-lane, a dis-
tance of about 400 yards from her brother's house. He was
at this time within a month of the 20th year of his age—
plaintiff being then in her 21th year. An intimacy soon
sprang up between defendant and plaintiff, and he was in the
constant habit of visiting Miss Bird at her brother's house,
Mr. Bansall bringing books for the young lady to read, but
making no offer of marriage, or any declaration, till Miss
Bird had left her brother's house on a visit to a relative at
Nottingham in the September following, when plaintiff re-
ceived a letter, of which the following is a copy :
" Shirland-park, Sept. 29,1850.
"My dear Miss Bird—l told you on the night we list met
I should write to you. I now fulfil my promise. From the
first time I saw you I admired you, and admiration has
grown into love. You must have been aware of the atten-
tions I have paid to you of late ; and those attentions I wish,
if you will consent, to continue; or, in other words, to be-
come a suitor for your hand, and from which I hope you will
not withhold your consent? for if you do, I shall be one of
the most miserable of mortals ; and if you do consent I shall
be the happiest. Let me have your full opinion on the matter,
as I shall be uneasy until I hear from you.
" am, my
• dear Miss Bird, yours most devotedly,
" GEORGE BANSALL"
" N.B.—Direct for me, Mr. Buxton's, Shirland, near .
Al-
freton, Derbyshire.
"Let thou be mine, and every wish
Of mine would gratified be,
For all my hopes and all my joys
Are centred firm in thee."
To the foregoing, the young lady sent a very judicious let-
ter, declining if he required an answer so speedily. Plaintiff
met the defendant at Mansfield fair the following week, Mr.
in their gig.
Bansall went home with the young lady and her two brothers
On the same day defendant stayed tea at the
house of his charmer's brother, when the defendant asked
plaintiff why she had not answered his letter, which he had
not then apparently received. Plaintiff told defendant that
she had answered the letter, and upon recapitulating the
import of it, Mr. Bansall further pressed his suit, and the
same evening she consented to receive his addresses. He
was all this time under age. His father knew and approved
of the engagement. So did also the family of the young
lady. While the defendant was at home he was usually over
at his sweetheart's several times a day. His father and mo-
ther used also frequently to go to plaintiff's brother's house,
and their visits were returned. When the courtship had
gone on in this way for about six neonate, the defendant told
plaintiff that his father was going to take a farm for him,
and that they should soon be married, previous to entering
upon it. During the time of the courtship he used to send
poetry
lowing :
on slips of paper, such, for instance, as the fol-

"Art thou not dear unto my heart,
0, search that heart, and see, Fanny Bird,
And from my bosom tear the part
That beats not true to thee, Fanny Bird.
Yes, to this bosom thou art dear,
More dear than words can tell,
And if one fault be cherished there,
'Tis loving thee too well, Fanny Bird,
'Tis loving thee too well."
(Great laughter.) In the early part of the courtship, on the
2d of November, 1850, he made plaintiff a present of a small
book, " The Gift of Love and Friendship." On the inside of
the corner he wrote—
" The gift of one to whom she is most dear. November 2,
1850."

In the month of February, 1851, he (being within three
months of his majority), having succeeded in gaining the
affection and working upon the fancy and imagination of the
poor girl, seduced her under the promise of marriage. Find-
ing herself in the family way, she told defendant, where-
upon he replied, " You know the wedding-day is fixed,
and it will be on that day." It was then fixed for the
first Wednesday after the Ist of April. Plaintiff got the
wedding clothes all ready—the ring was purchased, when
about the last day of March the defendant came and put off
the event in consequence of his father not having got the
farm in which the young ,couple were to take up their
abode. He said it must be put off for a short time ; but he
still continued paying his visits as before, while she kept
anxiously and unremittingly asking him to fix the day.
Defendant asked plaintiff if her friends knew that she was
in the family way. Plaintiff said " No," and she durst not
let them know, upon which defendant proposed to get mar-
ried, and then go to Australia, and that it should be kept a
secret about her being in the family way. Plaintiff con-
sented, and defendant wrote to Liverpool concerning the
fares of passage, &c., and had two letters in reply. This,
however, was soon abandoned, and one day, in July, 1851,
when the plaintiff seemed in very low spirits, defendant
said to her, "We will be married on the 31st of this
month, and we shall keep it a secret, and not let them
know" (meaning plaintiff's friends). And at this time, in
order to assure her of the promise, he wrote in a blank leaf
of the Gift of Friendship and Love these words:—" Mrs.
F. Bansall's, Shirland-park Mill, Derbyshire, July 5, 1851."
Defendant, however, did not come near his ffianced on the
.;let as promised, and visibly began to cool in his attach-
ment. Plaintiff stayed at her brother's until October 9,
when she went home to her father's, where she was con-
fined on the 23d of a female child. Plaintiff applied to her
seducer, by letter, after the birth of the child, to know what
his intentions were ; but no reply came. When she went
to her brother's in 1850, she was a sprightly young girl, at-
tractive in her appearance, and well educated, boasting of not
a few intellectual as well as personal charms. When she
she avoided crossing the threshold of the door,
came back to her father, and for some time previous to that,
she was sad and melancholy; she did not face her father for
ysseen by none. Her distracted state of mind and

weeping broken made permanent impression
a
upon her health, and down an excellent constitution.
The two brothers of the young lady and her mother were
called as witnesses. The two former proved that the defen-

seemed a highly respectable person, and spoke with much

health and happiness. Miss. Bird had evidently been the

proved the handwriting ofseveral poetical effusions from Mr.
Bansall to his betrothed, among which was one written in
blank verse, of which we append a copy :
Fanny, I love thee still, my heart
Thrills to thy voice, I live for thee ;
Absence has not produced forgetfulness.

The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up, the
jnry retired. In a brief space they returned into court, and
assessed the damages at 800/,
The verdict seemed to give great satisfaction to the par-
ties present.

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY. •
On Saturday last a meecing of the shareholders of this
company- was held at the offices in Cornhill, Mr. 11. H. Lind-
say in the chair.
The report, which extended over forty pages, was chiefly
devoted to a statement of the matters in dispute between
the company and Sir James Brooke. On the subject of the
state of the company's affairs at Labuan, the report stated
that there could he no luestion as to the value of the mi-
neral deposit of coal, or of the ultimate success of the com-
pany's undertaking if conducted with ordinary prudence and
economy. From the Beach Level, which was the main
working, an amount of 200 tons of coal might be expected
as the month's winning with seven men at work, but as the
side workings become more perfect, the superintendent con-
fidently expected to win from 450 to 500 tons per month
from this level alone. The discontinuance of No. 2 Level
was recommended for the present. No. 3 Level was about
to be opened in an outcross of the coal at the height of from
45 to BO feet from the Beach Level. When these two levels
were in full operation, it was expected that the demand for
all purposes would be amply supplied. The railway from
No. 3 Level was progressing satisfactorily, and would be
opened in a month or six weeks. The coaling operations of
the company at Labuan to the end of February last, were as
follow :—Supplies to ships on the Labuan station, 2,769
tons; to Singapore, 4,127; to Hong-Kong, 330; stock on
hand, 1,440. The directors concluded an arrangement with
the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the supply, at
Singapore, of 400 tons per month, at the average price at
which English'coals were delivered to them at that port.
The directors deemed it probable that a considerable de-
mand would arise for the use of the Indian railways when
they came into successful operation. The American,
Spanish, and French authorities were in correspondence
with the agent of the company at Singapore respecting
the supply of Labuan coal for the steam vessels of their
respective Government's navigating the eastern seas. The
directors congratulated the shareholders on the ratification
by the Sultan of Borneo of the grant of the coal on the main
land, thus defeating the intrigues of Sir James Brooke to
wrest this inaportatit concession irom the company for the
advancement of his own commercial speculations. 'The
total number of nem employed by the company amounted to
232. The directors had received samples of cotton grown
at Labuan of the same class as those of the Sea
Island and Pernambuco, averaging 7d. per lb. The direc-
tors ordered an acre or two to be planted as an experiment.
The gross receipts for coal sold amounted to 8,4061. Ils. The
directors proposed in future to write off annually from the
revenue account at least 1,5001. in gradual liquidation of the
balances connected with the original formation of the com-
pany's establishments, and of those arrears which now ap-
peared at the debit of the account. The discovery of anti-
mony ore on the main land of Borneo was an event of con-
siderable importance, and the directors had taken steps to
re-open for the benefit of general commerce the trade in this
valuable staple which had hitherto been monopolised by Sir
James "Brooke. Mr. Motley, the company's superintendent,
had ascertained in the course of inquiries which he had made
with a view to the purpose of leasing the Bintula district,
that the native chiefs had received a letter from Mr. Cruik-
shank, Sir James Brooke's deputy at Sarawak, threatening
them with a visit of a British man-of-war in the event of
their allowing any European to work the antimony mines
in that country. Mr. Motley scarcely crediting that such
a document existed, offered a reward for its production.
This step, which Sir James Brooke represented as a conspi-
racy, the directors entirely approved of. The report then
proceeded to notice the legal proceedings instituted by Sir
James Brooke against the company, and adverted to the
" extraordinary spectacle offered to the public view by the
stepping forward of a colonial governor to invalidate, and, if
possible, to annul a charter granted by her Majesty, on the
pretence that it was obtained fraudulently." In answer to
this latter charge, the report set forth the memorial to the
Queen, in which the grounds on which the charter was ob-
tained were stated. The report then went on to rebut the
next assertion of Sir James Brooke, viz.: " That the
subsequent conditions, on the due performance whereof
the efficiency, stability, and success of the company de-
pended, have never been performed." In this statement
Sir James Brooke no doubt alluded to the question of the
certificate signed by the directors respecting the company's
capital recently decided in an adverse manner by the Court
of Queen's Bench, on technical grounds. By the terms of
the charter it was required that 50,000/. capital should be
paid up in money within a certain period. In consequence of
the unparalleled pressure on the money market, it was found
impossible to comply with this condition literally, and they
thereforecasethappliedr t

the
rights and property of the company might be considered as
capital. That the Board of Trade recognise this prin-
ciple was shown by a letter, addressed by the late legal
assistant of the board, Sir Stafford N. Northcote, in which
he says, " Whether we were right or wrong in allowing
the property to be reckoned as part of the paid-up capital,
we did it with our eyes open." The recent decision of the
Court of Queen's Bench did not necessarily lead to the
abrogation of the charter; and, if the Crown were even ad-
vised to revoke it, or to refuse to grant another charter (both
events, in the opinion of the directors, almost impossible),
the extension and valuable property of the company was
not comprised in the issue. The report next proceeded to
reply to the attempts of Sir James Brooke to depreciate the
mineral property of the company in Labuan and Borneo, and
gave several extracts from letters from Sir James Brooke
himself to Mr. Wise, one of the directors, from which it
appeared that he considered the cession of coal by the Sul-
tan to be of great value, and that a considerable revenue
might be derived from other sources, such as the
diamond mines and the monopoly of antimony and
opium. In one of his letters to Mr. Wise, dated August
31st, 1847, he says, " And, if you make your fortune, as you
expect, you may make me a present of a few thousand
pounds." In another letter, dated Singapore, March 14th,
1843, he says, " On my own part, the cession will be made
on easy terms, such as a moderate salary as governor, on
the same terms as any other governor, the employment of
the few persons who have followed my fortunes at fair sala-
ries, the purchase of whatever stock in trade may be on my
hands, and a present of a certain sum in the shares of the
company--which would make my success dependent in a
great measure on theirs. and enable me to reward the gentle-
men with me." In spite of Sir James Brooke's persevering
efforts to retard the progress of the company, the directors
were happy to state that only 175/. remained in arrear on
three calls, amounting to 30,000/, whilst no less than
20,5851. had been paid in advance on future calls—an evi-
dence of confidence on the part of the contributors which
could not but be satisfactory to the other shareholders. In
pcoanidcluthsieorne,otnh.,e directors stated that if any parties desired to
be relieved from their shares there were others ready to
ac-
cept an assignment of them and to return the full amount

The CiLtutmAx, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that it 'contained so full an exposition of their affairs
that it was scarcely necessary for him to add another word.
All that Idae directors wished and asked for was an open and
searchin,g inquiry into everything in dispute between them
and Sir James Brooke. They were now of necessity com-
pelled to conduct their defence upon narrow and technical
grou
r, .ids, whereas if her Majesty's Government granted a
ic inquiry, either by a Select Committee of the House of
ntmons, or in any other form, their first act would be to
produce all their accounts and correspondence from the for-
mation of the company up to the present date. They distinctly
denied every charge made by Sir James Brooke against the
company ; at the same time they offered him every facility
prove them. If he did so, let the Government plainly
state that the directors were no longer worthy of the public
confidence, but if the result of the investigation plainly
Preed V that they had acted throughout, not only as honour-
able; ~ straightforward men, but had shown discretion and
Jt.luglnent in the management of the company's affairs, in
Trc umstancss of great difficulty, then they claimed from her
Majesty's Government that protection from tyranny and in-
justice to which they were justly entitled, and which they
felt certain' -Would not be withheld. The company, had been
charged by Mr. 11. Drummond, in the House of Commons,
with fraud, in enforcing the truck system on their servants
in Labuan. It was a curious fact that the company never
heard a word of such a charge till it was publicly made by
Mr. Drummond on the authority of Sir James Brooke ; one
would have thought that some inquiry would have been
made of the directors to ascertain if such a charge were
really well-founded. That, however, was not done. The
moment the directors heard of this charge they sent Mr.
O'Reil Companyan who had been employed by the East
India in surveying the Tenasserim provinces, to
inquire into the fact, and to dismiss any one who had been
guilty of such conduct. After six days of the closest in-
vestigation, during which witnesses from every part of
the country were examined, and brought face to face, he
reported that there was not the shadow of foundation
for the charge. Such was the open, manly, English way
in which the company proceeded. Let him con-
trast the way in which the company proceeded with that
Pursued by Sir James Brooke. Sir James Brooke, finding
that the chae was denied, got the secret depositions of six
PLeeple, taken by Mr. Lowe, one of the magistrates of La-
han, stating that the truck system was practised by the
uCompany. This was a proceeding which most closely re-
sembled the Spanish Inquisition in the sixteenth century
than the practice of a British subject in the nineteenth.
(Hear, hear.) Having stated what took place with regard
to the truck system, what faith could they place in the testi-

theever charges made were, let them only be brought face

LORD PALMERSTON AND MANURE.
Great statesmen should every now and then be in-
duced or compelled to retire for a while from the public
service. The busy intellect cannot subside into slothfu:-
ness and inactiviey. It must occupy itself about some-
thing, and that something is generally of a useful nature.
There was poor Sir Robert Peel, for example; when the
doors of the Treasury were shut in his face, we do net find
him taking to French novels and cheroots, but to the im-
provement of agriculture. Subsoil ploughing and drain-
age became the serious occupations of his life. When a
man of such a stamp throws himself with all the energy
cf his character into terming, it is certain that his
example and his advice must be of great advantage to
the community. We may now geote Lord Palmer•
ston as another illustration of the same principle
—and by a strange coincidence the late Secretary for
Foreign Affairs is following close in the wake of the
late Premier. Sir Robert was ail for drainage, Lord
Palmerston is equally devoted to manures. The same
activity of mind which could extort golden compensation
for Don Pacifico from the ruins of the Parthenon—or
turn Europe topsy-turvy in the pursuit of ideal
kingdoms in Northern Italy—or rivet the suffer-
ing Rowcliffe to the rock amidst the jeers of the
Tiverton electors, has now taken a more practical turn.
The Noble Viscount is determined to relieve our great
towns from their dirt, and our small farmers from
their difficulties, by one and the same operation.
Well done, Lord Palmerston: Younger men might
take a leaf out of your book, with credit to them-
selves and advantage to the public. We have frequently
had occasion to take the ex-SEcretary to task tor his
perilous pastimes with the map of Europe; but his rest
ices activity has at length chosen a field of exertion in
which it can be productive of nothing but good. Let
him go on as he has begun, and we promise him our
warmest and steadiest support—at least in his move-
ment for manure. It was at a public dinner given on
Thursday last at Lewes—in the very heart of the
Protectionists—that the cheerful Viscount burst upon the
world in his new character. Lord Ducie had mentioned
in the course of a speech which he addressed to the as-
sembled agriculturists, that the want of manure was
felt so greatly by the farming community, and the
price of guano was so heavy, that the Royal Agricultu-
ral Society of Sussex had proposed a premium of 1,0001.,
and offered a gold medal, for the discovery of a manure
equal to guano, and capable of being sold at a mo-
derate price. Little did he calculate upon the promp-
titude in conception and action of one of his au-
dience. Fresh from his triumphs on the banks of the
Exo, and without any prospect of foreign excite-
rat nt until Parliament shull have assembled, the ex-
Foreign Secretary was there ready for medals, 1,0001.
Dotes, agricultural plaudits, or anything that might
promise sufficient excitement. Lord Ducie brought his
observations to a conclusion, and in half-a-dersn words
Lord Walsinghnm proposed prosperity to "agriculture,
manufactures, and commerce." " That's just what I
represent," thought Lord Palmerston, " so 'tis my turn
now." Accordingly, we find it recorded that Lord
Palmerston "rote " and delivered one of those atter-
dinner speeches which nobody but himself—out of
a novel—would have had the face to address or
the tact to make palatable to such an audience.
Ile told them a good deal about the magistrates of the
borough of Lewes and the Romans, and how that an•
cient township was closely connected with the conquerors
of the world at the time of their triumphs and their
splendour. It is, perhaps, astonishing that our lively
friend did not attribute the whole of Rome's prepon-
derance among the nations to its connexion with the an-
cient town of Lewes. At any rate the mention of the
Romans brought him to the public works executed by
that great people—
" Imperial wonders wrought by nations spoiled."
The quotation was, of course, suggestive of our own
railroads and the shareholders in such under-
takings, who, as Lord Palmerston hopes, are not
"spoiled," but largely benefited in a pecuniary sense
by the assistance they have afforded to these enter-
prises. "The Romans had no railroads; nor, now I
think of it, did they know much about chemistry;
which, by the bye, beings me to the subject of guano."
Such is the substance of the train of thought by which
Lord Palmerston arrived at the following view of our
own case, which appears to us, however humorously it
may have been delivered, to be more worthy of our
farmers' meditations than all the Protection balsam
which has been poured into their wounds from 1846
downwards; to the present time.
" Instead of sending to the other end of the world for
manure for our fields, we shall find something, if not
quite as good, within a few hundred yards of our dwel-
hugs. Now, gentlemen, I have heard a definition of
dirt. I have heard it said, that dirt is nothing but a thing
in a wrong place. Now the dirt of our towns precisely
corresponds with that definition. The dirt of our towns
ought to be upon our fields, and if there could be such a
reciprocal community of interest between the country
and the towns—that the country should purify the
towns, and the towns fertilise the country—l am much
disposed to think the British farmer would care less
than he does, though he might still care something,
about Peruvian guano."
Tho subject has generally been avoided because it
is supposed to be of a somewhat unsavoury na-
ture. This all comes of taking things by the wrong
end. The most delicate lady in the land will
trip daintily amidst the fruit and flower stalls of Co-
vent-garden, inhale lovingly the fragrance of the huge
strawberries, or handle the portentous stalks of aspara-
gus. " Shall we tell you, lady, what it is you hold in
your hand? We have not the face to speak it out; but
go to Carlton-gardens. Call upon Lord Palmerston, and
he will tell you all about it, and you will leave him not
disgusted, but amused." Well, well, results and not
processes are for susceptible minds; but pro-
cesses we must have in some shape or
another, or we are likely to have but a beggarly show of
results. Peruvian guano, it would seem, is out of the
question at its present exorbitant rate. Even Lord Pal-
merston has been unable to find a flaw in the title of the
Peruvians to those interesting rocks which have served
the birds of the Pacific as "cloak rooms" for centu-
ries past. They have a right to the fragrant commodity;
and, speaking as men of the world, we cannot blame
them for screwing out the best possible price for the
merchandize. There is but one way of obtaining it at a
cheaper rate, which would be by entering into com-
petition with the sharp-witted citizens of this South
American community, and pruviog to them that, un-
less they choose to dispose of their guano at a rea-
sonable rate, they may keep it to themselves. Now
we have it in our power to enter into such competi-
tion with the slightest possible delay. We call the
attention of the British farmer to the fact that if the
scheme answers—and the experiment has always suc-
ceeded whenever it has been tried—not only will he ob-
tain a cheap manure at home, but he will have guano at
much the same rate. "For an expenditure per acre,"
said Lord Palmerston the other day, " far less than
that which produces ono manuring of Peruvian guano,
you may establish permanent arrangements, by which,
bringing from the towns fertilising liquids, you would
improve your property, and a permanent improvement
would be made in the land at a far less expense than is
now required to produce a single crop." Such is the
plain and unexaggerated truth, and the farmers of
England, as we before said, would do well to abandon
all thoughts of protection, " shifting of burdens," or
" revision of our entire fiscal system," as the new
catchpenny cry is called, and endeavour, with all
the energy of men who see their interest very clearly
indicated, to obtain manure for the laud at a reasonable
rate. Even the Chancellor of the Exchequer tells them
there is nothing under heaven for it but to lower the
cost of production. We tell the English farmers, too,
what we have told them for the last seven years, that
they are the mere dupes and victims of these talking
gentry who go about from hustings to hustings, and
from farmers' club to farmers' club, promising them as-
sistance by a legislative thunderclap. The tbing is one
entire system of humbug—we want plain words—from
beginning to end. There is not one farmerr for all the
in
the em-
pire who will ever be a penny the richer
columns of talk which Lord Derby and his Chancellor
i
of the Exchequer pour forth
volu-
bility. A pound of guano, :bth such exceeding
ottle of liquid manure,
would be more to the purpose than it all put together,
