At Edinburgh the experiment is made, in a mea-

given away to the farmers, free of all charge, so

,hat the profit to be derived from its sale at the stan-

dard price of guano is altogether lost. Even follow•

creased value in the produce, and consequent benefit
to the consumer; but there is no reason why the
utilisation of the metropolitan sewage should not
be made to answer both ends, and to lighten the
ratepayers of a little of their load. The mode of
application followed at Edinburgh is the same as
on Mr. LAWES'S grounds at Rugby, where the
sewage is Found in large quantities from open
csrriers over grass exclusively, as much as 20,000
tons per acre being applied annually by the Edin-
burgh arrangements, and 6,000 tons by Mr. LAWEB.
The other plan consists of moderate dressings,
applied by hose and jet to all descriptions
of crops, and this appears to be by far
the most satisfactory, as the excessive application of
sewage has been found by Mr SWIM to destroy the
finer grasses, and that the grass grown by means
of these large dressings is not good for milk, and
will not feed bullocks when used alone. On the
contrary, from the experiments made by the Earl
of ESSEX at Cashiobury, Mr MILES, M.P., near
Bristol, and Mr Alderman MECHI at Tiptree Hall,
it appears that the more moderate application of
sewage by hose and jet produces nothing but bens•
ficent results. The committee append to their re.
port a very valuable and interesting letter from
Baron LIEBIG on the matter, in which that great
master of practical chemistry explains very elearly
the action of sewage, and shows bow necessary it is
taguardagainst the mistakes which ignorance enight
commit. He shows how sewage, from its deficiency
in certai❑ constituents is apt, after greatly stimu-
lating the soil, to impoverish it, unless, like
stable manure, it contains all the elements neces-
sary to the soil. Sewage contains ammonia, po-
tash, and phosphoric acid, but the latter in much
smaller proportions, so that in a soil R hick is
rich in phosphoric acid sewage will have a good
effect, since the soil itself supplies what is want-
ting ; but "as in each successive crop a certain
quantity of phosphoric acid is abstracted, the
total quantity in the soil is, by continual appli-
cation of sewage, gradually diminishing every
year, and a time must arrive when the phospho-
ric acid is insufficient for further crops, and
sewage ceases to produce its former effects."
There are therefore two things to be done;
first, to make the fact clearly understood
that sewage, if used exclusively, will answer
only for the time, and secondly, that for each crop
the composition of sewage ought to be corrected
according to the nature of the soil; Baron LIEBIG
expresses himself most emphatically regarding the
benefit to be derived from the proper application of
sewage, and it is his earnest conviction of this that
makes him so anxious that no blunder in its employ-
ment should prejudice the former against its use.
The coarse recommended by the committee of the
Common Council is undoubtedly the proper one to
pursue, for the question is a national one, and should
be carried out in a thorough and comprehensive
manner, superior to all local rejudices or dlffi-zulties,
and this can only be done by the agency of a duly
qualified representative of metropolitan interests.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT,
TURIN, Nov. 12.

General Della Marmora addressed the Chamber
of Deputies to-day. He said he did not wish to
deliver a speech, but to make some declarations.
Before the Convention was concluded General Della
Marmora was opposed to it, fearing it would dis-
turb the already cemented union of the Italian pro-
vinces, and occasion the renewal of conflicts at
home. " This," he said, " I pointed out to M.
Drouyn de Duty s and the Emperor." The Minister
continued : .

" Oa returning to Italy I was led, contrary to
my intentions, to accept cffice under a difficult state
of things ; then, finding a treaty signed, I threw
aside ell apprehension, and prepared myself to
support it in concert with my colleagues. I observed,
contrary to my previous impressions, that there
was no real danger of discord, no risk of a renewal
of disturbances. I saw also that everybody in
Italy regarded the engagements of September as
serious, aed the sentiments manifested by Parlia-
ment ou the occasion of the recent exchange of de-
spatches with France prove the loyalty with which
the Convention is regarded. We have, therefore,
been able to say that the Ministry will have the
strength to execute the treaty—strength derived
from your union and the moral support of the coun-
try. The question of the transfer of the capital is
a delicate one for me, a Turinese. Turin militarily
cannot be the capital, but the public mind should
have been prepared for the news of its fall. I
regret the suspicion which has been cast upon the
views of France. I have been able to approech
the Emperor several times, and have found him
disposed ever since 1852 to occupy himself at some
time with Italian affairs. He permitted, notwith-
standing certain opposition, that Italian affairs
should be discussed at the Congress of Paris.
You remember Plombieres and the glorious Italian
war ? Tne King having had an interview with
the Emperor at Valleggia, the result was that the
former only accepted the preliminaries of the peace
of Villafranca as far as he himself was concerned.
Upon Ceunt Cavour's death the Emperor
generously recognised the Kingdom of Italy, thus
rendering possible its recognition by the other
Powers. In 1862 he sent his squadron to compli-
ment the King at Naples. Perhaps the Emperor
had once doubts, as some of us have had, of the
possibility of Italian unity, but now I am convinced
he thinks our unity irrevocable. We will not take
one step beckwards ; we will go forward prudently
And slowly, but without intermission, The Roman
question remains perfectly clear in all men's minds.
As regards the mode of solution, it is not undesirable
to have time before us. I have great confidence in
the Emperor, who has entirely devoted himself to
the Roman question. I believe also that he will
assist us for Venice; I speak as a private person.
Some solution may become possible with respect to
Venice. I believe the mind of the Emperor of
Austria may be brought to fresh resolutions with
this object.
General Della Marmora said, in conclusion :
"I renew the expression of my wish that you
should approve the treaty." (Great applause.)
Signor Musolino then spoke at great length
against the Convention, which he considered fatal.
He proposed to fortify Turin.

The New Austrian Loan,

VIENNA, Nov. 9.
The loan opened upon the 2d of May last, in the

expectation of obtaining a total of 70,000,000 fin.

sins in silver, not having been completely issued,
Herr von Plener, the Finance Minister, has now

published proposals for a loan of 25,000,000 florins
at 5 per cent. interest, repayable in five yearly in•

stalments, upon the following terms:—
" 1. The loan of 25 millions is opened by way of
public subscription, in which any private individual
may participate. The subscription will commence
upon the 14th of November, and be closed on the
21st of November, 1864, at eight o'clock p.m. The

result will be published at latest by the 23d of No,

vember. If the amount subscribed exceeds the 25

millions, a proportionate reduction will be made in

the largest subscriptions.
" 2. The loan is'issued at the price of 87 florins

for a subscription of 100 florins.
"3, The scrip to bear the name of the holder for sums
of 1,000, 500, and 100 fl., and will be furniehed with 13
coupons, payable on the Ist of June and the Ist De-
cember of every year, the first of which will fall
due June 1, 1865. _ _ _

" 4. The part-scrip may be used for the payment
of all taxes and public contributions not payable in
cash, at its full nominal value, 1. e., the Ist part
after the Ist December, 1866, the second after the
Ist December, 1867, the third after the Ist Decem-

her, 1868, the fourth after the Ist December,lB69
and the fifth after the Ist December, 1870, pro
vided the scrip does not exceed in value the sum to
be paid, and has not been due more than one year.
Coupons due may also be employed for these pay•
ments provided they have not been due more
than a year, and after deduction of income tax.
Interest:due attaching to the scrip will be reckoned
in the total of payment. Interest not yet due must
be made up at the Treasury by the holder.
"5. The repayment of the loan will be made ac-
cording to the full nominal value of the scrip at
the General National Debt Fund Office at Vienna,
or at branch offices established for the purpose in
the various territories belonging to the Crown, in
five equal annual payments, viz., 20 per cent. each
Ist June, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870, and 1871. Each
bond will therefore consist of five portions, each
amounting to one-fifth of the whole subscription.
Interest will be paid by the same fund as is charged
with the repayment of the capital.
" 6. The day each part-bond falls due for repay-
ment, that portion will cease be bear interest.
The coupons attached to each will show the amount
of interest chargeable.
"7. Every person desirous of participating in
the loan must give in an unatamped declaration, and
make a deposit of 10 per cent. upon the sum sub-
scribed for. No subscription will be accepted for
less than 100 florins. Every subscription above that
sum must be divisible by 100, without leaving a
remainder."
(Sections 8-10 refer to the funds into which
the instalments and the deposits are to be paid.)
" 11. The payments may be made in cash, in
coupons of the National Debt, payable within ten
days, or which have not been due more than a year
or in part mortgage bonds at nominal value. Bonds
of the loan of January 18th, 1861, due December
Ist, 1864, may Le employed at nominal value for
the payment to be made I)4c€mber 3, 1804.
" 12. Payments shall be made at the funds where
the subscription has been Effected, iu five equal
parts, at the following dates :-20 per cent , lie-.
cetuber 3, 1864; 20 per cent., January 3, 1865; 20
20 per cent., February 3,1865; 20 per cent., March
3, 1865; and 20 per cent., April 3, 1865,
" 13. Payments in advance will be entitled to
per cent. interest, reckoned from the actual day of
payment until the day when the payment should in
ordinary course have been made.
" When an instalment is not paid upon falling
due the deposit is forfeited to the Treasury, and
the subscriber ceases to have any share in the loan.
" 15. The date of the distribution of the bonds
will be published in due course.

RE-EXAMINATION OF TIIE ACCUSED.
On Saturday the prisoner, Ferdinand Edward Karl Kohl,
was brought up before John Gurney Fry, Esq•, and a fall
bench of magistrates, when several witnesses were called
whose examinations had been previously taken,either at the
inquest or at Stratford police-court.
Joseph Gurstcn identified the deceased's boots, whichwere
muddy up to the ankles.
Inspector Goode, of the Thames police, who, with a man
named Jones, found the murdered man's head in a rat-
hole, added that when he saw the place where the head was
buried it looked as if it had been pressed down with the feet

to make it look the same as the rest,
Henry Z ulch said he had identified deceased's head before
the coroner, and on the day he was missing prisoner came
to his house about twelve or half-past, and told him he had
been up to London with deceased and asked him to wait,
and when he came out of the sugar.house, where he went
for work, he was gone. Deceased slept at witness's house
after he left Mrs Warren's, but had his meals at Kohl's.
Henry Lres, the witness who saw the accused and de-
ceased walking together on the day he was missed,along the
river bank near where the body was found, in answer to a
question by the prisoner, said he was positive it was the
deceased man he saw walking with him, and not the pri-
soner's cousin " Bill."
Wm. Hudson. also corroborated Lee's evidence as to seeing
deceased and prisoner between 10 and a quarter past 10 on
Thursday, the 2cl inst., walking along the river wall between
the Oil V orks and where the body was found. They passed
him, deceased walking on the right side of the prisoner. He
knew them from seeing them twice in the marshes, where
he had been at work for the previous ten days. He particu-
larly noticed them, because he heard them speaking in a
language he did not understand.
Mary Ann Wade, a lodger in Kohl'shouse, proved see-
ing Kohl and deceased go out together about half past 9 on
the Thursday morning. Kohl came home by himself about
one, and his clothes being all mud she said to him, " Good
gracious, Charley, who're have 3on been to in the mud ?"
Me made no reply, but went into the yard and brushed it

off. The back of his coat, his elbows, and his trousers were
all in a mess with mud. He went out, and returned about
half-past three, when ho said he was going to Germany. Did
not observe any particular difference in Kohl's appearance
till the evening, when he looked pale, and his eyes sunk in
his head. When asked if he was going to Germany he said,
" Yes, and if John (deceased) was not home in two hours he
should break his boxes open." They had proposed to go
together, and Kohl's wife remarked, " If you wait two hours
you will be too late for the ship." She had Leen getting
ready to go all day. Was in the habit of lending Kohl her
chopper, and fetched it out of his kitchen on Friday morn-
ing, the 4th inst., and then she found that it had been
painted red at the upper end where the handle fits in.
The chopper was produced; it is a hammer and hatchet,
and a formidable weapon.
Eliza Whitmore said—l live at No 4, Hoy-street, and
on Thursday, the 8d inst., I saw the prisoner and the
young German go out together about half-past nine. Kohl
came home about one o'clock by himself.
The Chairman—Did you see him come in ?
Witness—No. I saw him brushing his coat in the garden,
He went out again shortly after one, and I went downstairs
and saw his wife, and said, " Kohl has missed John ; it is
very strange that should be, as you were all going to Ger-
many together," She said, " It is.", Kohl came ,in a little
before three, and I asked him if he had found John, and he
said no. I asked him if he meant .o go to Germany if John
did not come back, and I said I thought he meant to give
him the slip, because he had no money, but Kohl said, " 0
yes he hail, because I saw lOs in his hand this morning;
as we were going along he showed it to me." I asked him
again if he meant to go to Germany, and he said yes; and
if John is not back in two hours I will open his boxes." His
wife said if they waited so long the) would be too late.
Kohl took a small poker from the kitchen and went upstairs.
He said to some ono come up and see. Kohl's wife's cousin
went up, and when he (the prisoner) came down again he
said "John will never come back, as all his thinks are
gone." Kohl went out again, and did not come back again
till five o'clock, and he then looked very bad.
Mr Superintendent Howie said that he did not propose
to offer any further evidence at present, and would there-
fore ask for a remand.
The prisoner, who did not seem to understand one-half of
the proceedings, but who questioned the witnesses with
some degree of shrewdness, was then removed, the inquiry
having lasted upwards of four hours.
