the expense of taking the statue down, but would not be i
responsible for its being placed in any other
situation. They did not think that any other
situation would suit the statue unless it were s
of the same elevation and mass as the present arch, and
further they were of opinion that no better or more
eligible site than the present one could be found. The
expense of a sufficiently elevated pedestal for the statue
would be such as, the Sub-Committee were not prepared
to take upon themselves, and were the Government to
pay the expense it would in all probability lead
to a contentious discussion about taking the public
money to which they would not be a party.
The Committee were of opinion that the duties of the
Sub-Committee were terminated by the taking down of.
the statue ; they believed that then the statue would be
seized by Government, and that the subscribers would
be left to make the best terms with them that they could.
That was the statement he was requested to make to
their Lerdships' House.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he was
not officially acquainted with what had passed between
the Sub-Committee and the Lords Commbsioners of the
Woods and Forests, and he had no reison to doubt that
the statement in the letter read by his Noble Friend was
correct, but when the Sub-Committee in that letter alluded
to this statue being the subject of a contentious discus-
sion, which it would be advisable to avoid, he (Lord
Lansdowre) felt himself bound to state that he was
not aware of any contention that had arisen on this
work of art, unless it were indeed a laudable con-
tention as to who should do the greatest honour
to the Duke of Wellington by placing the statue in a
situation which, while conspicuous enough, would also
be conformable to the dictates of public taste, in con-
formity with the wishes of both Howes of Parliament,
and the country.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that he fully
agreed in what had fallen from the Noble Marquis, all
he desired to impress upon the House was, that the
sub-committee could do no mere than remove the statue
from the top of the arch, and that there their duty

certain papers, moved for, from the Commissariat De-
partment in Ireland. These papers were brought
down to the latest period. In a few days he
should lay upon the table a report from the Board of

in Ireland.

CONCILIATION HALL.
Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of their Lord-
ships to a circular which had lately emanated from Con-
ciliation Hall, calling upon the people of Ireland (and
he (Lord Brougham) had no doubt that its request
would be urged by the priesthood from the altar) the
necessity, the absolute necessity, of raising what was
called the minimum subscription to the repeal
rent. Now he (Lord Brougham) hoped that mea-
sures would be taken to prevent any portion
of the millions of money which was received from Eng-
land and Scotland, he tru,ted that means would be taken
to prevent one farthing of that money getting its way
into the coffers of Concili•stion llall,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said there could be
no two opinions upon that subject. He had not, how-
ever; seen the circular referrf d to by the Noble Lord.

(LEFT SPEAKING.) - the wide and interesting field of chemical reading and
research, and.nowhere in the course of my application
to it had my attention been so much interested as by the
well ascertained proofs of the extraordinary influence of
electricity, in reference to the economy both of
animal and vegetable life ; and in turning my thoughts
—and who has not done so ?—to the probable cause
of the blight in the potato crop of the two last years,
I was irresistibly led to the conclusion which the re-
sult of Dr. Swan's experiment has. gone, in my opinion,
a considerable way to verify. Under these circum-
stances it will not seem strange that upon the appear-
ance of bis letter I was strongly impressed with the im-
portance of the result of his experiment, and which was
rendered the more interesting from its peculiar cir-
cumstance that the result aimed at, the application of
electricity as a substitute for manure, was not that which
was fortunately realised—namely, the preservation of
the root or tuber. I had in consequence a few hundred
copies of the letter printed, and distributed pretty freely
among the landed proprietors and agriculturists of the
adjacent counties, and I had the gratification to find my
communication' very promptly responded to by several
highly respectable and influential persons.. I was,
amongst others, favoured with a letter from Sir
Gerald Aylmer, who, as many of your readers
cannot fail to be aware, is a very extensive landed
proprietor in the adjacent county of Kildare, and a scien-
tific practical agriculturist. In the letter Sir Gerald
states, and I have his permission to mention the circum-
stance upon his authority, that he had long previously
arrived' at the conclusion that the potato blight of the
last and preceding year was attributeble to the effect
of electricity ; that under this impression he had,
in the spring of last year, had a ridge of the
usual description planted close along side of a wooden
paling, the upright slabs or pieces of which were
bound together at the top by an iron hoop for its
entire length, and which he reasonably assumed would
act as a conauctor. In this ridge, when dug out, there
was not a single unsound potato, although his crops in
all other places suffered in the same way as those of
his neighbours. From the Messrs. Rsits,_ of Rath-
moyle, in the same county, who are admittedly the most
extensive growers of the potato in this country, their
crop of last year having been, as I am aware, little
short of 150 acres, I had a similar communication,
stating that their t xperierce and observation had quite
led them to agree in the opinion that electrical agency
was the immediate cause of the late blight of the
potato, and that they had determined to try the effect
of conductors placed over their crop of this year ; and
in several other communications from highly respect-
able persons, I found a general concurrence in similar
opinions.
Under these circumstances I deemed it only right to
. apply to Dr. Swan, and to request that he would enable
me to afford to parties who, in their replies to my previous
communication, had made inquiry as to various matters
of detail, such information or advice as his previous ex-
perience might enable him to offer. His reply appears
to me to contain a number of suggestions, the manifest
importance of which will, I trust, appear to you a suffi-
cient excuse for my request that it may also be given to
the public through the medium of your columns. It is
as follows:

THE FOREIGN EXCHANGES.

It appears to us, on a re-consideration of the circum-
stances bearing upon the rate of exchange between Eng-
land and foreign countiies, that we did not, on Saturday
last, give sufficient prominence to the tact, that very
large amounts of English property are at all times
lying in the various commercial emporiums of the
world ; and that the tendency to an adverse rate of ex-
change may be, to some extent, counteracted by.realising
a portion of this property and remitting the proceeds. In
judging of the probable consequences of excessive impor-
tations of food, or other commodities, at any particular
periodsmen aro rather too ready to assume that the
commerce of the country is conducted almost entirely upon
the plan of drawing bills at once against exports of
Merchandise to other countries at the time of shipment,
and remitting these bills ,at once to the country on
which they are drawn. If that practice was as general
in England as in the United States, we might always
place the exports and imports of any given year against
each other, and pretty safely take for granted, that the
oalance of excess on either side must be paid or received
it: coin or bullion.
But English commerce is not generally conducted on
the plan to Which we have alluded. Owing to the com-
parative abundance of capital in this country, the trade,
both of import and export, with many very important
markets, is carried on entirely with English funds. The
merchant buys manufactures, sends them abroad, and
waits until they are sold, when he invests the proceeds in
produce, and imports it into this country, without having
drawn or negotiated any bill of exchange in Conaexion
with thert;. The imports ofone year, consequently, may,
and generally do, rspresent, and ought to be compared
with, the exports not of that, but of some preceding
year ; and, having been paid for in advance by this
country, their excess at any particular period cannot
exercise any influence upon the rate of exchange.
From the mode in which the trade to the East Indies
and China is carried orr, there will probably be at all
.imes an amount of British property lying to the eastward
of the Cape of Gs sod Hope, equal to not less than the whole
amount of British exports to those countries for eighteen
months or two years. The same remark will apply to
the West Indies, British and foreign, Brazil, and the
whole cf South America, with other markets of consi-
derable extent and importance. Whatever excess in
imports from three countries may have recently arisen,
we may look upon it rather as the natural result of the
'arge exports of the year 1845, than as a cause of pro-
cable derangement to the foreign exchanges.
Again, if our exports have recently declined in value,
al.o have the prices of some very important articles
of produce, in w hick returns are ordinarily received.
This is particularly the case in India and China.
Teas, which, last year, were selling at thirty
taels a picul, could be bought at the date of the last
I,dvices from Canton, for twenty taels ; and silk, which
tad commanded 500 dollars it bale, was selling at 400.
At Calcutta, indigo—although the crop was smaller by
30,000 maunds than that of the previous year—was
soiling at 135 rupees per mound, instead of 175; and
sugar et nine rupees instead of eleven. These prices
wilt make a considerable difference in the amount of
the purchases, on British account, in India and
China ; and although, for the reasons above men
tioned, that fact has no direct bearing upon the
notes of exchange, it has an indirect operation upon
them of some importance. The smaller the amount
required to purchase the necessary supplies of pro-
duce for England, the larger will be the fund
applicable to purchase on account of other nations.
very large portion of the Indian and Chinese
produce exported to the United States is now paid for
by means of English manufactures ; and it seems highly
probable, under existing circumstances, that a much
larger portion, not only of that, but of all the tropical
produce consumed in the Units(' States, will for the
Future be purchased through the intervention of British
capitalist:, ssel with funds obtained by the sale of

"College, Donegal, bth March, 1847.
" Dear Sir,—Accept my thanks for your letters, as
well as for the trouble you have taken with mine of the
6th ,to the Council of the Royal Dublin Society.
" The privations and sufferings I have witnessed in the
discharge of my duties as a dispensary physician for the
last three months, have made me must anxious, if pos-
sible, to fix the attention of scientific gentlemen on
this momentous subject, as nothing can be more cer-
tain than that an electric state of the atmosphere,
whatever may be the peculiar phase of that electricity,
is the cause of the potato blight. Indeed, its pro-
tection by metallic tractors, as in my experiment, though
badly adjusted to accomplish that end, places this
beyond a doubt. On this principle the various forms of
decay in the potato can be satisfactorily explained. The
total destruction in the ground, its decay after being
taken up and stored away apparently sound, its well as
the rotting of the seed in the ground, are attributable to
he injury sustained from this active agent by the vital
prineipl, of the tuber prior to its detachment from the
pare stem. •
" In my letter to the Royal Dublin Society; I merely
gave a statement of the result of an experiment, conclu-
.ive as to this, but instituted, as you are aware, for a very
different purpose. I declined, however, giving and
iirections fur the protection of the growing crop, think-
ing the matter would be taken up by persons more cora•
eetent than I am, but acquiescing in the wish conveyed
co me by your letter that lshould do so, I beg with great
,leference to suggest—
"First—That uncut potatoes, when the bud first ap-
peared, should alone be used for seed ; for when the
vital energy of the potato is affected, which it may be,
without evidencing by any external mark the existence
of disease, it will be unable to recover the shock of so
large a wound as is made by cutting the seed, or to re-
produce a bud when broken.
" Secondly—The seed should be brought covered to
the ground, and earthed up the .moment it is dropped,
that it may be as little exposed to atmospheric agencies
as possible ;• and
" Thirdly,—Before the stem rises to the surface, poles,
twelve feet high, and ten yards apart, should be erected,
with a strong three-pronged wire (copper if you wish),
the prongs projecting eighteen inches Irom the top, bent
outwards for that length, and the principal wire con-
veyed from them down the pole into the ground. It is
not material that they should be placed in line with the
magnetic meridian, as- Mr. Cooper, who has honoured
nay letter with his notice, seem* to think the horizontal
wire unnecessary, but he approves of, and recommends,
this plan, and his opinion is of the utmost importance,
as no gentleman stands higher in the scientific world.
This will be sufficient to divert the electric matter from
the plant in any state of the atmosphere, however highly
charged.
"The whole subject opens a wide field for investiga-
tion, as there is every reason to believe that electricity
performs a more important part in the vegetable eco-
nomy than is generally supposed. I have little doubt,
however, from, the notice taken of the trifling hints I
have given, by gentlemen of the first scientific attain-
. meats, that the question, as far at least as relates to the
potato blight, will, ere January next, be thoroughly
investigated. _ _

DEATH BY FALLING FROM. A TREE.—An inquest
was held on. Tuesday, before Mr. Carter, at Balham-hill,
Surrey, on the body of a boy ten years of age, the son of
Charles Searle, Esq., who, on Thursday morning last, fell
tram a tree in the school play-ground at Balham, and re-
ceived a concussion of the brain, of which he died the next
day. Verdict, "Accidental death." . .
THE GANG OF CORN STEALERS IN KENT.—At the
Rochester Quarter Sessions, held on Saturday, before James
Espinasse, Esq., Recorder, Mathew Burgess and Charles
Smith, two of the men implicated in the extensive robberies
which have been recently committed in various parts of the
Western Division of Kent, were brought to trial, together
with Robert Jenkins, charged with being an accessory aftet
the fact. The trial occupied the greater part of the day.
Mr. Rose and Mr. Russell appeared for the prosecution; Mr.
Addison defended the prisoner Smith and Burgess, and Mr.
T. Hills attended on behalf of the prisoner Jenkins. Barns
and, granaries around the neighbourhood of Rochester had re-
cently been robbed to a considerable extent, access to which
had been obtained by means of skeleton keys, 24 of which
were found in the possession of. one of the prisoners, and an
inquiry being set on fcot, it was found that small quantities
of corn had at various times been sold to Stephen Charlton,
a corn factor, at Strond, by William Gilbert, who has ab-
sconded. The case was clearly proved against the prisoners
Smith and Burgess, and they were sentenced to seven years'
transportation. Jenkins, through whose instrumentality the
principal offender, Gilbert, has for the present escaped, was
sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.
A letter from Galatz, of the 14th ult.. says—" From
want of ships, only a small portion of the corn collected
here at the end of the last year has beec embarked, and con-
squeal), the magazines of all the ports of the Danumbe are
still quite full. The quantity now at Galatz, Glurgewo, Ibrail
Siston, and other places cannot be estimated at less than
2.000,000 hectolitres, of which 1,100,000 are wheat, 500,000
maize, 300,000 barley, and 100,000 rye. The corn of the
last harvest in Moldavia is expected to reach, early in May
next, this port, Thrall and Giurgewo, and the quantities will
be altogether 2,976,000 hectolitres, comprising. all kinds.
Adding to these quantities the 2,000,000 hectolitres alredy
arrived at the ports, it will be seen that western Europe,
will find here the means of supplying herself from the ports of
the Danube after the next harvest with nearly 5,600,000
hectolitres of corn. The Danube is at this time covered with
ice, and more than 100 vessels ready laden are detair,ed, but
at the first opportunity, which car.not be now long in
c"iing, they will take their departure for their respective
destinations."-

The universally admitted importance of the subject is
the only excuse I can offer for so large a trespass upon
your space ; but I cannot conclude without urging
upon public attention tbe vast valiie of Dr. Swan's sug-
gestion, that no potato should be used for seed until it
should have been first ascertained that ir still contains
the principle of vegetable life, and should, for the pur-
pose, be so placed as to cause, at least, the appearance
of a bud. Had proper attention been paid in this respect,
it seems scarcely possible that so large an exent of the
seed planted in the autumn of last year should now be
rotten in the ground and totally lost.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR LOUGII•
110mq:ult.—An accident, attended with loss of life, occurred
on Tuesday night, between Loughborough and Kegwortb, on
the Midland R„ilway. It appears that when the down train,
leaving, Loughborough at ten o' lock, arrived at Derby, a
communication witS telegraphed to Loughborough, stating
that something—the driver thought a sheep—had been run
o'er,, sq,n after the train had left Loughborough.. Some
men were according)}' sent down to clear-the line, when about
three-quarters of a mile off they found the body of a soldier
lying across the rails with his head err shed, both legs severed,
and the body dreadfully mangled. In addition to the pas-
senger train, a luggage or mineral train, consisting of 5G or
60 waggons, appeared to have gone over him. The body
was taken to the Loughborough station, where' a coroner's
jury will sit upon his remains. The unfortunate man was a
private of the 4th Dragoon Guards stationed at Loughborough,
named Thomas Buhnan. He was 26 years of age, and. had
by.en in the regiment about six years.

(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
Bartholomew Gale and William Reid were indicted for
entering the dwelling-house of George Lane, at Corscombe,
and stealing money.
Mr. }looks was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Ed-
'wards defended the prisoners.
It appeared that the prosecutor kept a turnpike-gate at
Tollerdown. On the night of the 18th of February, 1846, he
was awoke by a cry of "Gate." He got up, and went down
stairs, and opened the door, when two men laid hold of him,
and two others went into the house. They told him if he
did not bide quiet they would have his head off. The prose-
cutor's wife came to them, and they knocked her down, and
said they would have her life if she did not tell them where
the money was. She told them the money was gone, but
there was some in the window. One of the men held her
down while the other took a lantern from his pocket and
went up stairs. The man who held her down had.a hand-
kerchief over part of his face, and the other part was black-
ened. She had a black eye. They took away 1/. Os. lOid.
The prisoners lived in adjoining parishes, about six or seven
miles froni Tollerdown-gate. Gale was seen in company
with Reid about nine o'clock that night, and they were heard
talking together as to the best mode of disguising them-
selves to go to Tollerdown-gate and get some money; and
the husband of one of the witnesses told them it would be a
good way to tie a handkerchief round the face and wear a
cap, and he gave them a bit of rag, and told them to black
-it against the back of the fire. Gale blacked the rag and
put it in his pocket, and her husband gave him a cap be-
longing to one of his own children, and Gale put the cap on ;
the husband then took a lantern, and they all left the house—
her husband, the two prisoners, and John iteid, the brother
of the prisoner Reid. This witness stated that she after-
wards heard William Reid give an account of the robbery,
which corresponded with the account given by the prosecu-
tor and his wife. Her husband told her that while he was
holding the prosecutor he told him that this was a shocking
thing, and they must soon meet before the judgment-seat of
Christ. Her husband bad been transported 12 months ago.
Gale was apprehended at Dorchester, and Reid near Brid-
port in October last.
Mr. EDWARDS addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
soners, and urged upon them that they could not place any
credit in the story told by the woman.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both pri-
soners, and they were sentenced to be transported for 14
years.
Thomas Saunders, William Larcombe, and William Lar-
combs the younger, were indicted for burglariously breaking
and: entering the dwelling-house of Edward Legg, at
Beaminster, and stealing therefrom divers articles, and
Maria Saunders and Ann Saunders were indicted for receiv-
ing the same.
Mr. Slade was counsel for the prosecution.
The house of the prosecutor was found to have been broken
into on the morning of the Bth of January, and some boots,
bags, a quantity of flour, silver spoons, and many other arti-
cles were missing. Some persons had entered by the window,
and six panes of glass were broken, and one of the cross-bars
had been removed. Thomas Saunders and William Larcombe
the younger were seen together on the road going towards
Mr. Legg's, about twelve o'clock that night, and about five
miles from their own residence. A search was made that
morning in the house of Thomas Saunders, and a great many
of the stolen articles were found in the bedroom. The two
female prisoners, who were his wife and•daughter, were in the
house. While the search was being made Thomas Saunders
got out of the upstairs window. He was immediately taken,
and then he asked if the constable bad got Will Larcombe
all right. William Larcombe, the younger, on Ore same
day, took some of the articles to an ironmonger at Crew-
kerne, and sold them. The prisoners all lived at Master-
ton. 'On the morning of the 9th of January some earth
near Larcombe's house was observed to have been fresh
moved. The spot was searched, and several of the stolen
articles were found buried. Maria Saunders was apprehended
on the 9th of January. Four silver spoons which had been
stolen were found upon her. Ono of the constables said lie
had worn one of the stolen handkerchiefs in the hope that it
might be identified. The judge told him he was a very
foolish man. Ann Saunders worked at a mill at Mosterton.
Sonic of the stolen meat was found where she worked,
wrapped up in an apron. 'Ann Saunders admitted that she
had taken the meat to the place where it was found.
The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case to the jury,
observed that there was no case against the elder Larcombe,
and he thought it would have been as well if he had not been
sent there. As to Ann Saunders, the law considered the
wife acted under the control of her husband, and therefore
she was entitled to an acquittal.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Thomas
Saunders, William Larcombe, the younger, and Maria Saun-
ders, and Acquitted the other prisoners. They recommended
Maria Saunders to mercy. A former conviction was proved
against William Larcombe, the younger.
The Learned JUDGE sentenced Thomas Saunders and Wil-
liam Larcombe, the younger, to be transported for seven
years, and Maria Saunders to be imprisoned and kept to hard
abour fur two months.
There were no less than 11 witnesses to prove this case.

This was an action brought by Captain Hyder, formerly of
the 10th Dragoons, against Mr. Alfred Dixon, the son of the
proptietor,of the well• known horse repository in Barbican, to
recover the value of a race• horse, known by the name of
" The Devil among the Tailors," sold to him by the defendant,
and warranted sound.
Mr. Mautague Chambers and Mr. Bovell were for the
plaintiff. and Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bramwell fur the de-
fendant. •
It appeared that "The Devil among the Tailors" had been
run by Mr. Dixon at Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury, and
Chat ham races in the autumn of last year, and was very
successful, being the winner on several occasions, and at one
of the meetings he ran as many as five heats. At Chatham
races he was again successful, and, according to the evidence
of one of all witnesses, he bore the character of being a very
good "country plater," and upon this occasion he was
claimed by a person named Messer, according to the terms
theyace, for 801. ; butiMr. Dixon was unwilling to sell him,
and ultimately gave Messer 201. not to press his claim. Capt.
Hyder, who had been steward at one of the races where the
horse had run, and was aware of his capabilities. afterwards
entered into a negotiation with Mr. Dixon for the purchase
of the horse; and it was at length arranged that he should
give 11C/. for him, and a cheque for that amount upon
Messes.. Cox -and Greenwood was given to the defendant,
but it was arranged that the transaction should not be con-
sidered completed until the horse was delivered safely at
Brown's training stables in Lewes, and then-the cheque was
paid. The horse was taken to Awes in due course, and
when the cheque was presented for payment, the clerk
who cashed it, it appeared, took upon himself to require
the defendant to state on the receipt he gave upon that
occasion that the horse was warranted sound. This, it
seemed, took place on the 15th of September, the original
bargain for the sale having been concluded on the 10th ; and
this interval formed a material point in the present inquiry.
It seemed that the horse arrived at Lewes on the 12th of
September, and it was very soon perceived that he was very
ill, and it was found necessary to call in the assistance of
a veterinary surgeon; but the remedies be prescribed
were of no avail, for the horse went on lingering
and wasting until the 21st, and then died, and on his being
opened it was found that his kidneys were very much dis-
eased, and this disease was the cause of his death. The
veterinary surgeon who had been called in stated his opinion
to be that the disorder existed for a fortnight or three weeks
before the death of the horse took place, and consequently
that the animal must have been unsound at the time the
warranty was given ; but it was admitted in cross-examina-
tion that horses were frequently attacked witk inflammation
and other maladies very suddenly, which would cause their
death in a few hours, and that it was very improbable if the
horse had been suffering from this fatal disease in the kidneys
at the•time he was sold by the defendant, that he could have
Jun five severe heats at the Chatham races, and have won
the race.

Mr. Sergeant SREE, on behalf of the defendant, com-
plained that by the proceeding of the banker's clerk he
was made answerable for a supposed warranty of the 15th
of September, when, if one hail really been given at any
time, it must have been on the 10th, when the horse was
sold, and when, even according to the evidence of the plain-
tiff's own witnesses, he might have been perfectly sound.
He then went on to say that according to his instructions
the horse was, in point of fact, perfectly sound when he was
delivered, according to the instructions of theoplaintiff, to,
the trainer at Lewes, and that the malady must have come
on suddenly, either from the change of stable or some other
cause, and that, therefore, the defendant was not liable for a
breach of warranty.
The groom who took the horse from Chatham to Lewes
was examined, and he proved that the horse appeared quite
we'.l during the journey between the two places, and that on
the following morning, after his arrival at Lewes, he cantered
him for an hour upon the downs, and did not oberve any-
thing the matter with him.
Some other witnesses were also examined in support of the
statement made by the Learned Sergeant.
