FIRE AT SOUTII.END FARM; HAMPSTEAD.—Yes-
terday forenoon, shortly before eleven o'clock, a fire broke
out in the premises of Mr. J. Prickett, cow-keeper and
dairyman,
known as the South- end Farm, situate in Bond-
street, Hampstead. The fire originated in the cow-houses,
a range of premises nearly 100 feet long, and owing to the
great quantity of straw and hay in the place, the
spread with more than usual rapidity, so that at one pen°.
the dwelling-house was placed in imminent danger.

INGENIOUS INVENTION --AUSTRIAN
RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
Sir,—Perceiving the above in the different newspapers, I
consider it right to inform you that three years ago I sub-
mitted the principle of placing a looking-glass on the engine,
to be illuminated by different coloured lamps, supplied the
railway guards for such purpose, and that I submitted my
suggestion to a civil engineer (Mr. Francis Whishaw, of
Adelphi, London), with the view of testing the same as
worth a patent, but that gentleman (who is connected with
the Society of Arts, and would have submitted it to them on
my behalf) found, from information, that the railway people
in England would not allow anything to be placed on the
engine.

What English railways objected to, Austrian railways
have adopted, and I merely wish to show that, so far as I
know, it is the invention of an Englishman,
and that it is
three years old.-_I am, Sir, yours most respectfully,
ROBERT TOPHABG
P.S. The Society of Arts were offering a premium at the
time for a good principle to prevent accidents, and give
speedy communication between guard and driver.

EXPERIMENTS ON ANCI101?S.
SIIEERNES:,, JULY 18.—Conceiving that a description of
the getir to be used at the second seris of trials, which will
commence on Friday next, on the b,,;acli, may be interest-
ing to the nautical world, we nowlirrnish a brief ate:ten-ten:,
thereof.

The anchors will be cast in a depth of water of about two
fathoms, and placed parallel to each other, at a distance of
18 feet apart, and be hove up to the beach by the followlog
mode :—A pendant unites the two purchases in one, with a
block on the bight, through which the pendant reeves, thus
forming a traveller, one end of the pendant being made fast
to one of the purchases, the other end to the other purchase
—the pendant rendering through the block on the bight
according to the resistance of either purchase placed on the
anchors.

The pendant ropes are of 8 inches and 20 fathoms, and the
single block to each is of 26 inches. _

The small purchase leads from the block on the pendant
to an anchor secured in the ground in the centre, between
the two large purchases (close to the capstan), the fall of
which, traversing through a leading block, is then hove
round the capstan. The blocks composing the purchase are
two double ones of 18 inches each, and one single leading one
of 16 inches, 113 fathoms of 5-inch rope being used for falls.
A very excellent drawing of the anchors and gear has been
made- by Mr. G. Peary, of the dockyard.

SUCCESSFUL RESULTS or TUE APPLICATION OF
ELECTRICITY Tux WHALE FISHERY.—We alluded,
several Weeks since, to certain experiments by Mr. E. A.
Heineken, of Bremen, to test the applicability of electricity
as a means of facilitating the capture of whales. Mr.
Heineken, who is now in the United States, has recently
received intelligence from Bremen which is of much interest,
relating to the success of this invention, as practically
tested on board the Bremen whale-ship Averick Heineken,
Captain Georken. The Averick Heineken left the river
Weser last July, for the Pacific Ocean, having on board
thereeirotation machines of various sizes, in order to ascertain

they disappeared on our approaching them; while at all
other times the weather was too boisterous to permit us to
lower our boats. Thus we had but one chance to try the
experiment upon a whale, which was made with the four-
magnet machine. The whale, upon being struck, made one
dash onward, then turned on his side, and was rendered
perfectly powerless. Although I have, as yet, not been
fortunate enough to test the invention in more instances,
I have the fullest confidence in the same, and doubt not to
be able to report the most astonishing
results on my return
from the Arctic seas, where I am now bound."
ASCENT OF MR. COXWELL.—On Monday evening
this celebrated nronaut ascended in company with two gen-
tlemen from the Royal Grecian, City-road. The continental
fame connected with Mr. Coxwell and his balloon Sylph
drew together a large assemblage of spectators, who wer
delighted with the huge and handsome machine that had bee
engaged in such adventurous enterprises abroad. Mr. Cox-
well, on rising, took at first a north. easterly direction, bat on
attaining a greater elevation, the balloon fell into a southerly
current. The aeronaut having promised to descend as near
as possible to his residence, the wind being in that direction,
alighted accordingly in Edmonton marshes.
FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT —A most melan-
choly accident, and which has been attended with fatal con-
sequeces, occurred on Saturday evening to an engine-driver
named Stanley, at Gobowen, about 18 miles from Shrews-
bury; on the Shrewsbury and Chester line. The unfortunate
man had got off the engine at a siding, and was examining
the machinery to see that it was in proper working order
and pot overheated, and at the same time the stoker was en-
gaged in filling the boiler with water, when most unfortu-
nately three or four waggons which were moving down on
an inclined plane towards the engine were allowed to pro-
ceed too rapidly by the person who had the charge of them,
and who, it is supposed, did not apply the brake as vigo-
rously as he ought to have done. The consequence was that
the waggons dashed with great velocity against the engine
which Stanley was engaged in examining, and the unfor-
tunate man's arm was caught in the machinery, and he was
thrown down and the engine went over him, tearing his arm
out of the socket and mangling him otherwise in a most
frightful way. As may be supposed, life was immediately
destioyed. The inquest was held upon the body yesterday,
when the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

CLOSING OF Bow Council FOR REPAIRS.—On
Sunday the ancient church of St. Mary-le.Bow, Cheap side,
which was built by Sir Christopher Wren, was closed for the
purpose of undergoing extensive internal repairs. This
church unites the parishes of St. Mary-le-Bow, St. Pancras,
Soper-lane, and Allhallows, Honey-lane, and on these three
parishes has just been levied a rate of Bd. in the pound to
meet the expenses of the repairs.
THE HULL MURDER.—FURTHER DISCLOSURES
—The grand jury, at York, on Friday, ignored the indict-
ment against Snape and Smith, accused of the garrotte mur-
der at Hull. Mr. Justice Wightman then fixed Wednesday
(to-morrow) for the trial of the prisoners upon the coroner's
commitment. In the meantime, and while the grand jury
at York were deliberating upon the evidence then before
them, the police in hull were acquiring and combining a
chain of evidence which may go much further towards the
conviction of the guilty parties. A. £5-note, which it is
stated the murdered man had in his pocket, was, about a
fortnight ago, returned in the usual course of business to one
of the Hull banks; and after an indefatigable inquiry, it was
traced back to a tradesman in Humber-street. Yesterday
the man who changed this note, through the porter of the
Shakspeare Hotel, was apprehended and privately exa
and the
at the police court, and he will probably appear Weednnesday as a material witness in the case. Two women have
also been apprehended, one a paramour of Sri a,

signs of general good health, and the same attention to the
interests of the children to which the examiner had averted
on former occasions, appeared to be continued. Their

roads were numerous yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron,
which gave evidence of a desire to accompany the man-of-
war squadron, if a breeze favoured the intention. There
were some beautiful specimens of amateur sailing craft about
the station ; among them Mr. Weld's late cutter (merged
into a fine schooner), the Alarm, altered to the lines of the
America, and made to resemble her not a little in hull; the
Duke of Rutlaad's schooner Revolution, Lord Godolphin's
schooner Coquette, also the Snake, Mr. A. Hill's Orestes,
Mr. Gee's Gloriana, and Mr. Smith's Leda. These fine ves-
sels, moored in close proximity to the naval squadron, formed
as animated a marine group as any artist could picture.
At about seven o'clock all the vessels had steam up, with
the exception of the Royal yachts, which lighted their fires
last. The entire force was under the orders of Lord Adol-
phus Fitzclarence, who, being the senior officer present, was
the commodore of the Royal squadron.
At S o'clock the Victoria and Albert made the signal to
the squadron to " dress'ship," herself hoisting masthead en-
signs. As if by magic,• the whole of the ships forming the

On the Royal yacht " opening" West Cowes Castle, the
Marquis of Anglesey (at present residing there) fired a
royal salute, which the Royal Yacht Squadron battery at
the Club-house took up, the front of the club being gaily
dressed in yacht pennants. On passing the castle, the men
(who had continued aloft all this time stretched out upon the
yards of the men-of-war) were piped down, and the colours
for dressing ship were taken in. At this point the royal
yacht was fully a mile and a half ahead of the squadron,

induced Mr. Pepper, the lecturer on chemistry,
his audience some large lumps of gold from the Austroawe
Tian colonies, in order to promote the wish to emigrate
amongst those who could not succeed in their own
country. These lumps were kindly lent by Messrs.
Hunt and Roskill, who have again enabled Mr. Pepper
to exhibit some very large pieces of the precious metal
from Australia. The present lecture, as may be ima-
gined, was one of the highest practical interest, being
" On the Australian Gold Districts, and on the means of
discriminating Gold from all other Metals and Minerals."
The lecturer commenced by detailing the chief filets
connected with the geology of gold-seeking, and gave
various useful hints from specimens, rocks, &c., which
would enable the emigrant to make a right selection of
a plot which might yield gold, and prevent a waste of
labour on barren and unprofitable spots. The various
apparatus required for washing and preparing the drift,
such as cradles, mining tools, and a very good and
simple machine, washing a ton of earth, tan, clay, or
gravel, per diem, to be worked by boys or a man; also
an Australian tent, of very great convenience and ex-
ceedingly low price, were exhibited, and excited great
interest among the audience. Mr. Pepper then alluded
to the simple tests which would enable persons unac-
quainted with chemistry to detect gold from all other
impositions, as the •4 kirunim 'gem worthies" have al-
ready issued gold-brass nuggets so nicely made and
weighted that many persons had been deceived. These
tests were specific gravity; mechanical properties, such
as maileability, gold being ensily beaten out on the
anvil, whilst copper or iron pyrites would break into
small pieces on account of their brittleness. They also
yielded a smell of sulphur when thrown in powder on a
red hot shovel, whilst gold did not produce any odour.
To distinguish brass nuggets or filings, a few simple
materials only were required, via, some acids, tinfoil,
and iron nails—the acids, aqua fortis, and spirits of
salts, being used as the solvent of the metal under exa-
mination. A solution of the tinfoil in spirits of salts
yielded a purple colour (the famous purple of Canias)
with gold only; and the solution of iron in sulphuric,
acid precipitated the precious metal as a brown powder.
These effects would enable the emigrant to make the
distinction in a very expeditious manner, the only appa-
ratus required being three four-ounce bottles and a
pThe lecturer, in conclusion, observed that
full information
on the subject could be obtained in the
large laboratory of the institution, where classes met
daily to learn the art of assaying and taxing gold and
silver ores.

THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET
QUESTION.
On all sides there is an outcry against the formation
of the Metropolitan Cattle Market in Copenhagen-fields,
as we expected there would be as soon as the determi-
nation became known. Without meaning any disre-
spect, we must say that the Home Secretary of State
has not done his duty in the matter. Under any
ordinary Act of Parliament notices would probably
have been required, which would have brought the
intention prominently before the public, and would have
enabled those who were interested to object in time. In
the present case the public were supposed to be protected
as to the selection of a fitting site by requiring in
Act that it should bo approved of by one of her tb

ENDEAVOUR TO RAISE THE DUCHESS ON KENT
STEAMEIL—During the week, and up to Saturday, the most
strenuous efforts have been made, under the superintendence
of Mr. Green, the engineer, to float this vessel, which, it will
be recollected, was run down off Northfleet some fortnight
since, by coming in collision with the Ravensbourue, Antwsepe
steamer. So far the only progress made has been that

DECLARATION OF THE POLL.
"The result of the poll for the East Surrey election was
officially announced yesterday by the High Sheriff,
G. R. Smith, Esq., in the Town-hall, Croydon. The
town was in a state of excitement from an early hour,
bands of music parading the streets, and the successful
party in the contest displaying various other manifesta-
tions of delight. This party, however, were doomed to
divide the applause with a company that' made a more
extensive and varied show of power. This was no other
than Cook's Equest?ian evableihment; 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 animals of " foreign production," marched
in precession 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 wiknown in Surrey, and it was considerably past that
ti, are before the proceedings were commenced. The
Mors of the hail, however, ware thrown open at twelve
o'clock, and immediately afterwards the building became
thronged almost to suffocation. The " casting-up" of the
'votes engaged the attention of the Sheriff for more
*has an hour, and in the meanwhile the "free and in-
dependents" amused themselves with passing sarcastic
t,ehements upon the conduct of two electors, one in the
forty of the hall and the other on the platform, who had
`if'serted 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
Lie!, the alternative of being kicked out or singing a
Com is song; but the Sheriff coming upon the scene at
this moment, neither alternative was enforced.
The than SHERIFF presented himself to the electors
a'nortly before two o'clock, and said it was now his
duty to commence the last aat in the political drama of
the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey.—(Hear,
hew.) He had to inform them that the gross state of
the poll was as follows :
Thomas Alcock, Esq.... 2,508
Lock., King, Esq. ... ... 2,500
E. Antrobus, jun., Esq. . ... 2,064
A. Cleasby, 1,928
.2ivihr; a majority for 11r. Aleock over Mr. Antrobua o)
444 ',rotes, and for Mr. Locke King over Mr. Antrobus,
ref 436; and had therefore officially to declare that
Thomas Alcock, Esq. and Locke King, Eiq., had both
been duly elected to serve as knights of the shire in the
next Parliament, for the Eastern Division of the county
of Surrey.—(Cheers.)
ALcocx said the contest had been fought vigo-
rously on both sides, and it had been fought oa all hands
in a highly creditable manner.—(Elear, hear.) The
Peace Of the county had not been disturbed, nor had
aay ireerruptidin taken place to trade, and ha begged
4elter, t) thank the Liberal electors who placed him at
the need of the poll.—(llear.) Being now the represen-
tar:ive of the Eastern Division of the county, it world be
hj.s duty and pleasoses to listen to the wants of either
'nue aide 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 %neck and neck affair from beginning to
end, and he )aoped the Liberal electors would take care
that the vie'tory they had obtained should not betar
niahed.—(lear, hear.) Let the non-electors follow the
example of their fellows in the West Riding of York-
shire, v.nd become small freeholders, for the sake of the
Parlie.mentary franchise.—(Hear, hear.) By this means
they could add at least 5,000 votes to the re-
iii!r,er, and as the purchase ceuld be made
sre'ith a prospect of 30 per cent., he hoped and believed
7:tis advice would be universally followed.—(gear, hear.)
Law was now cheap, and some of that cheapness was
due to Lord Derby, 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 4ipou the other neces-
saries of life, and the Noble Lord should have
his surnort.—(Hear, hear.) A man with 12s. a
week paid as much in taxes as the man
who bad 5,000/. Consols in the Bank of England paid in
the shape of income-tax.—(Hear, hear.) For instance.
vitae the inc Mme-tax on that amoaht was 4L 7s. 6d., his

On Wednesday evening, the 231 ult., at Metropolitan

Alboni gave her first concert in the Unitedr
in that concert we promised the lovers of musical art thas.
t
they would have one of the rarest treats they ever en-
joyed. The event has realized our most sarguine expecta-
tions. It was a truly delightful entergiinment—a glorious
feast of music for the audience, and for the artist a brilliant
trittraph without being marred by a single drawback. No
'words of ours can convey to the mind of the reader the
i:"eione quality of the voice of Alboni—to be understood
must b 0 heard. It is one of those things that can only

SHERIFFS' Cf )U RT, Nottingham, July 16
• BIRD V. BANSALL
t
At the conclusion of the assize cases in the Crown Court
morning, the Under Sheriff, Mr.. Brewster, proceeded
with a jury to execute a writ of inquiry in this case.
For the plaintiff, Sir. W. H. Adams and Mr. Sergeant
Miller.
This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The
pi
spseuaere d
b, had
the originallyC
alleged in the declaration, but Subsequently
withdrew his plea. This was, therefore, an execution of a
the promise
writ
nodfa
inquiry rto denied the making of
f Exchequer to assess
the damages.
Mr. Sergeant MILLER, 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 Sberland-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 4eo 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 24th 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 hat 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.
" I am, my dear Miss Bird, yours most devotedly,

" N.B.—Direct for m GEORGZ BANSALL."
freton, Derbyshire. e, Mr. Buxton's, Shirland, near Al-
. .
"Let thou be mine, and every wish
Of mine wouldgratified 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 arfanswer so speedily. Plaintiff
met the defendant at Mansfield fair the following week, Mr.
Bansall went home with the young lady and her two brothers
in their
gig. 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 far. 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 month', 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 Bend
poetry on slips• of paper, such, for instance, as the fol-
lowing :
" 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 te thee, Fanny Bird.
Yes, to this bosom thou art dear,
More dear than words can tell,
And if one fault be cherished there,
'Tis loting 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), hating 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 read the ring was' purchased, when
about the last day of March the defendant came and put off
the event in contequence 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 affianced on the
31st 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 brothers in 1850, she was a sprightly young girl,
iat-
tractiven
her appearance, and well educated, boasting of not
a few intellectual as 'well es personal charms. When she
came back to her father, and for some time previous to that,she was sad and melancholy;. she did not face her father for
whole days;
she avoided crossing the threshold of the door,
seen by none. Her distracted state of mind and
her

-
On Saturday last a meeting of the shareholders of this
company was had at the offices in Cornhill, Mr. K. H. Lind-
say in the phair.
The report, which extended over forty pages, was chiefly
devoted to a statem nt of toe ma tors In .iispute 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 be no question 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 mein
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 10 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, 930; 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 Governments 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 important concession from' the company for the
advancement of his own commercial speculations. The
total number of men 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 8,406/. lls. 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 'perforinance 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
therefore applied to the Board of Trade, that, as in the
case of other chartered companies, 'the transfer value of the
rights and Property of the company might be considered as
capital. That the Board of Trade recognise this prin.
c.ple 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 t,f 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, alniost impossible),
the extension and valuable property of the company was
not comprised inthe issue. The report next proceeded to
reply to the attempts of Sir James Brooke to depreciate the
mineral property.ef 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 letteri to Mr. Wise, dated August
31st, 1847, he save, " 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, aad 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

dence of confidence on the part of 'the contributors which
could not but be satisfactory to the other shareholders. In
conclusion, the 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

Great stetesineu sh,eild every owe cud then be in-
duced or compelled to retire for a while from the public
service. The busy intellect cannot subside into slothfu!-
ness and inactivity. It must occupy itself about some-
thing, and that something is generally of a useful nature.
There was poor Sir Robert Peal, for example; when the
doors of the Treasury were shut in his face, we do not 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
of his character into farming, it is certain that his
example and his advice must be of great advantage to
the community. We may now quote 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 all 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 for his
perilous pastimes with the map of. Europe; but his rest
less 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 st Lewes—in the very heart of the
Protectionists—that the cheerful Viscount burst upon the
world in his new character. Lord Dtiaie 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
Exe, and 'without any prospect of foreign eleite-
went until Parliament shall have assembled, the ex-
Foreign Secretary was there ready for medals, 1,0001.
notes, agricultural plaudits, or anything that might'
promise sufficient excitement. Lord Dame brought his
observations to a conclusion, and in half-a-dozen words
Lord Walsingham 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 "rose " and delivered one of those after-
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.
He 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, brings 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 toms, however -humorously it

" 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 dwelt
lings. Now, gentlemen, I have heard a definition of
dirt. I have heard it amid, 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 upoii..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 fertiliie 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."
The subject has generally been avoided because it
is supposed to be of a somewhat Unsavoury na-
ture. This sill 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 ueon 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 fur susceptible minds; but pro-
cesses we must have in some shape or
results. Peruvian
another, or we are likely to have but a beggarly show of
guano, n it. would sip,. 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 centup
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
merchaudize. There is but one way of obtaining it at a
cheaper rate, which 'would be by entering into coin-
petition with •the sharp-witted citizens of this South,
American community, and proving. 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 answerand the 'experiment has always suc-
ceeded whenever it has been tried—not only will ho ob-
tain a chep,p manure at home, but he will have guano at
much the samoiate. "For an eXpenditure per acre,"
said Lord, Palmerston the other day, " far less than
that which produces one manuring of Peruvian guano,
you may establiih permanent arrangements, by which,
bringing from the towns fertilising liquids, you would
improve your property, and a perinanent 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 uneiaggerated 'truth,—and the farmers of
Englind,,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
eatchpenpy cis is called,

The CHAIRMAN', 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 the directors wished and asked for was an open and
searching 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
grounds, whereas if her Majesty's Government granted a
public inquiry, either by a Select Cemmitteeof the House of
Commons, or in any other ferm, 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 J'a'mes Brooke against the
company; at the 'same- time they offered him every facility
to prove them. If he did•so, let the Government plainly
state that-the directors'_ were no longer worthy of the. public\
confidences, but if the -result .of the investigation plainly
proved that they had acted throughout, not only as honour-
able straightforward men, - but had shown discretion • and
judgment in the. management of the company's affairs, in
Taeumstancss of great difficulty, then they claimed.from her
Al jesty's.Goverement that protection from tyranny. and in-
justice to which. they were Justly eotitled,.and which they
felt certain would not be withheld. The company bad been

heard a word of such a charge till it was publicly made by
al-r • 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.
y Reilly,la gentleman who had been employed by the East
India Company in surveying the Tenasserim . provinces. to
inquire into the fact, and to dismiss any one who had been
guilty of such conduct. After sii-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

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 charge was denied, got the secret depbsitions of six
People, taken by Mr. Lowe, one
,of the magistrates of La-

Company.
This was a proceeding which most closely re-
