THE BASHFUL JUROR.

A SCENE IN THE BEVERLEY COURT HOUSE.—A
laughable seene occurred in the Sessions Court, at Be
verley, on Wednesday list. A man hal been charged
with stealing an axe, abd, the chairman having summed
up, the jury "laid their wise heads together," and,
from the earnest and energetic [winner in which their
consultations were continued, it seemed quite evident that
there was some knotty point in the case, which would
not very speedily be settled. The foreman appear d
particularly resqlute and vehement. After some consi-
derable time had elapsed,
The Chairman said,—Gentlemen, if you have an)
doubts in your mind respecting the verdict you should
give, the better course would be for you to retire to a
room, whore you can confer together more conveniently
than in open Court.
Here the jury, after a moment's conference, sat down.

Clerk of the Peace--Have you considered your ver•
diet, gentlemen ? Do you find the prisoner, John
Garton, guilty or not guilty ?
No reply was made to this question, for the foreman,
despite the angry glances of his eleven brethren, reso-
lutely - buried his tare in his hands, and maintained a
dogged silence.
The Chairman—Have you come to a decision, gen-
tlemen? A juror—Ens, zur: we be all o't same moind.
The Chairman—Then why does not your foreman
return the verdict? Is he ill? Juror—Naay, zur; be
be nean ill—nobbut stunt loike.—(Laught, r.)
The Chairman—lf you have co.ne to a verdict, prey
let us have it.

Hera the nearest neighbours of the obstinate foreman
vigorously sho.,k him, saying, " Spe) k up, man, speyk
up!" amidst the loud laughter of thy Court.
Foreman•—Neay, neay, lads, it's o'na use; I'se not
goin' to say a word about it to all them gentlefolks. I'►e
no orator.—(Loud laughter.) _

The Chairman—What is your verdict? A juror—
Not ;uilty, Sir.
The Chairman—The verdict must be delivered b)
your foreman.

Foreman (with a desperate effort)—Weel, if I mun
say it, we're all o' one moind that he isn't guilty —noc
)ou've gotten it.—(Renewed laughter, avid which tilt
ck•rk recorded the verdict, and the prisoner was dis•
charged.)—Hull Packet.

ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF AM-
MONIACO MAGNESIAN PHOSPHATE AS
MANURE. BY M. BOUSSINGAULT.

Ammoninco-magnesian phosphate contains the ele•
ments which appear to be the most necessary for till-
development of plants ; it also possesses one of the pro
perties belonging to gypsum, viz , a very slight degree of
solubility.

On the Ist of May last the author put a quantity of
arable earth into stone vessels, capable of containing
about nine square feet. These vessels %Et% divided inta
two series ; sixteen grammes of ammoniaeo-inAgnesian
phosphates were added v. the earth contained in each of
the first series, and in all the vessels a quantity of maize
or -Indian corn, which had already germinated, was
planted.' All the vessels were placed out in the open
air, and watered with an equal quantity of water when
requisite.
During the first fifteen days after raising above the
ground, all the plants presented the same appearance
end vigour ; it W&L'4 only after the twenty-fifth day that
a difference was perceived, and which was subsequently
continued. _ _ _

vV
On the 25th of July the sprouts of the first series,
which had been treated % ith the phosphate, were twit e
as high and three times as quick as those which had ris.n
from the unprepared earth.
On the 25th of August these proportions were differ-
ent ; the blade of the first being half as long again, and
twice as thick, as the second.
All the blades were in ear at the same time ; those
which had been treated with the double salt bore three
ears, two perfect and one imperfect ; and the others only
one perfect and one imperfect ear. Tof
he grainthe
first weighed more than that of the second, in the pro-
portion of two and a quarter to one.

TIM. COST OF 11 ASI3 i„1.4• —lt is said that five hundred
millions of dollars are spent annually in the United States
for such articles of dress
as are subject to the fluctuations of
fashion. 01 this stun it is comptved that 16,000,000 are
spent for hats, probably about 20,000,000 for caps and bon-
vets, and for other article of dress not leas than 00,000,000.

COPPER MINES IN SOUTH
AUSTRALIA.
(From the Adelaide Observer, October 4.)
The commencement of operations at our great
northerp mines is attended with circumstances almost,
,f not idtogether new, iii the history of mining.
Coniecutively with the departure of the fir,t psrty
men engagsd on " owners' account," sixteen drays
nave been sent up to bring away the first lot (thirty-
two tons) of the copper ore ;, and, judging from what
has been seen, examined, and performed, we shall, in
vil probability, have to record, that the value of these
first dray-loads, raised by a few hands, within the first
seven days, will amount to 7001.—a very pretty begin-
'log. But were the English market price offered to
the Mining. Association, we understand they would
guarantee to deliver a thousand tons in four mouths,
and allow a liberal deduction for freight and charges.
Indeed it is difficult to speak prospectively of these
'nines in measured terms, more especially as they are far
exceeding the most sanguine predictions of the first di -
,overers and exploiers ; and as we have no wish to
herish any undue expectations, we shall. von the
~resent occasion, as in tnture when we chronicle the
issios.d success of these unftertAings, limit ourselves,
as much as possible, to actual facts and occurrences, but
it would be unjust to the respective owners of the
northern and southern divisions of the property, now so
ouch the subject of discussi-n, did we omit to notice the
,ligh promise, now more than ever 017,1-dud, of the re•
numerative employment for the capital eaibsrked in the
Barra Creek Survey."
The productive operations institutes by the northern
proprietary, upon their moiety of the twenty thou,and
Ler. s, have already so far removed from their investment
everything of a speculative character, that scrip, is
.thangin,g hands at 50 per cent. premium, and we verily
believe the most cautions matter of fact curmudgeon in
he colony (if there be such) would fain screw out the
price of a share at a handsome premium, if offered him
iy a needy holder, constrained to realise.
Little beyond exploration of the surface, and satisfac-
wry examinations of specimens of copper ore, having been
yet carried out by the proprietors of the southern moiety,
we are only enabled to say that the first favourable
mprt. salons have been abundantly confirmed ; and in all
probability the mineral riches will rival those already so
ibvious in the adjoining property. At all litVefttS, a
competentsi authority has estimated its value at\so,ooo/,
or are all the energies of the " copper mining" colo-
nists likely to be expended upon the great mineral sur-
vey in the north. A requisition has been lodged with
the proper authorities for the survey of several square
miles of mineral land, abounding with copper, in the
listrict of Mount Barker ; and such is the general im-
-iresdon as to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient trans-
port for our superabundant metalliferous wealth in its
virefined state that the proposed erection of smelting fur-
naces will be carried out at no distant day, under circum-
stances which offer inereased encouragement the more
they are subjected to inquiry and examination.
We are heartily glad to learn that it is intended to
gratify the citizens with a sight of several loads of -
coined treasure—not because " seeing is believing,"--
not to tempt them to make inviting communications to their
friends in Britain or upon the continent of Europe (for
both at home and abroad they will be able to judge for
Lhemselves) ; but that those who have borne the burden
and heat of the day in establishing our highly successful
•olony, may derive encouragement as w,ll as gratifies-
:ion from a sight of the native capital which seems
destined to infuse life and energy into all our collatoral
undertakings, whether agricultural, pastoral, or mercan-
tile ; and to stimulate into powerful and salutary cxer-
iise the inventive faculties and productive industry of
whieh this province has already furnished so many
bright examples.
When it was asserted of the colony, some years ago,
and before its capabilities were apparent to everybody's
comprehension, that it abounded " with all the elements
of wealth and prosperity," it was asked, alternately, by
the desponding and the credulous, " Where are the pre-
tended dements ?" If it were possible that such a
question could be propounded now a-days, the attached
colonist might point to some of the countless flocks and
herds which bedeck our verdant and nutritive postu-
rages ; to the "smiling" corn-fields, which have re-
moved all lack of bread, and rendered our garners in-
sufficient—to our fruitful vine3Pards, orchards, and gar-
dens— to the tens of thousands of unencumbered act-,
which invite. the labours of the husbandman-- d'a

METALLURGIC IND'cfSTRY OF
AUSTRIA.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The mineral resources of Austria are but very little
known in this country, although the Austrian empire is
very rich in minerals of every description. The greater
portion of the metal, the fossil fuel, salt, earth, or clay,
"or the manufacture of porcelain and the other potteries,
pyrites, nickel ore, cobalt, grenates, &c., form, by their
union, an extensive list of minerals, rarely to be found in
my other country, The following is an official return of •
the principal metals produced in 1845, namely:—
Iron and cast metal lb. 306,000,000
Lead and lead productions 16,000,000
Copper
Zinc
Antimony 770,000
Mercury 370,000
Productions from cobalt and nickel 240,000
Tin 190,000
Silver 56,000
Gold
Austria .also possesses very extensive coal beds, but
the working of them has not yet been carried to any ex-
tent, although there is a great abundance of wood, and
At low prices. At the last exposition about fifty of the
exhibitors sent to Vienna numerous supplies of coal,
anthracite, and lignite. The production of coal in
Austria during the last few years is estimated at 600,000
tons, which will, no doubt, rapidly increase. It is well
known that in Austria the working of mines of every
description is a prerogative of the state, which soma-
limes, under particular circumstances, cedes its regal
right to private individuals. All the provinces of the
Austrian monarchy, with the exception of the provinces
Venice, along the coast, and Dalmatia, are productive
.f iron, and we can divide into three large zones the
countries which furnish this metal. The most im-,
nortant of these for iron, as for the quality of its metal-
lurgic productions, is Styria, as it furnishes annually
336,000 cwts. of iron. According to the statistical
returns of the iron industry in Austria, it appears that
in
plBi
r4O. 1 there were 226
ilidugpi oi

furnacesem32. at
for iron and steel, with 1,1155 fires, and 1,538 hammers
or anvils, 15 puddling forges, w:th !et puddling ovens,
38 flattening apparatuses, and 32 reheating ovens, 40
flattening machines, with 112 pairs of cylinders, 94
reheating ovens, 9 steel melting ovens, and 31 mechanical
establishments. The produce was as follows:—Rough
metal (roheisen), 2,192,540 Austrian cwts.; cast metal,
364,130; iron in bars, 1,375,659—0 f which 182,452 were
flattened iron ; tin, 11,056; iron plates, 111,644; and
steel, 208,379. In 1843 the production of cast metal
was 2,351,280 cwts.; and moulded metal, 369.342 cwts.
l'he total production of cast iron, or metal, is estimated
at 14,000,000 florins (2s. 3d. sterling); and the whole
produce of the iron industry is stated at 32,000,000
florins. Although the production of iron in Austria
presents each year a considerable increase, it is far from
being in proportion, according to the abundance of iron
ore of excellent quality, which is found in nearly every
proviece of the empire.
The admission of iron into Austria, like many other
products, is only permitted under a special permission ;
therefore, the imports of it in 1841 amounted only to the
value of 400,000 florins. The value of productions
exported was 4,500,000 florins. The cilia trade of iron
in Austria is carried on with the states of the Zullverein,
notwithstanding the steels of Styria ; its scythes and
.igricultural instruments are sought for in every part of
the globe, and would no doubt cost many most active
transactions, if the Custom-house system of Au.tria did
not throw an obstacle in the way. The manufacture of
.cythes and sickles is one of the most remarkable and
ancient industries of Austria. Styria, the classical land
of scythes, has for a long time supplied nearly all the
markets of the world ; and, although the fabrications: o!
them has greatly progressed in other countries, parti-
cularly cularly in France, Prussia, and Russia, the. rod
tthes of different
ing is the number made.-3,965,000 scythes
knives, or shares for
them in Austria has met at all dimmisseh d PThe follow-
sizes, 1,159,000 sickles, and 83.000, implements
being
oo 000 florins. There are no
83,226 cwts. ; value 2,2
, in which scythes are made,
cutting straw—the weight of these
less than 175 establishments,
without including those of Hungary. Each establish-
ment can only make a limited number of them—must
only
the first of which serves to purify
the iron and steel the second for forging the scythe by
_
et generally by
a hydraulic
have four ti
‘ large
wheel anvil, which is worked
t • the third to work it by the small hammer, to
make the ridge, and mounting it ; and the last one for
riving it the temper required. A single establishment
can by law only make fifty tons of scythes per annum,
each ton containing from 1,000 to 1,800 different pieces,
according to their size. They, however, can double this
quantity, by having two bt igades, or change of workmen,
and by adopting in their work more methodical ord,r.
They attach a great importance
.to executing the work in
each shop in the same manner, and by the same work-
men. The Austrians complain very much of the menu
hummers of Prussia, who make inferior scythes, and
adopt the best marks of Styria, causing a great injury tek.
. that part of the country.
The above will show the progress making in minim
industry in that rich country, which promises, in 4 f 0.7
years, to be a most presperous resource.

Mr. W. S. O'Brien—Bill to amend the laws relating

Mr. W. S. O'Brien—That with a view to diminish the

in Ireland, it is expedient that, in the case of Irish
way B lis, all sw.li inquiries as are now conducted in
knelon by Committees of both Houses of Parliament,
should. after the termination of the present session, take
pla,e. in Ireland.
Col met Sibth cep—Return of the documents upon
which tile First Lord of the Treasury founded his official
statement, on the 14th of February, 1845, of the amount
of the revenue anticipated by him on the sth day of
April, 1846.
Mr. W. S. O'Brien-1. That it appears from the re-
cords of this House, that several royal commissions have
from time to time been constituted under the advice of
successive Ministries, and that many Select Committees
have been appointed by this House, for the purpose
of inquiring into various subjects connected with
the interests of Ireland, with a view to the iniprove-
merit of that country. that such Commissions and
c„minittees have laid before Parliament a great
nand*, of sugge,tions, des gned to improve the • ni-
dinon of the Irish people, which have never been carried
intoeffect. That amongst the most recent instances which
may be alduced in support of this assertion, it appears
that a royal commission appointed for the purpose of
inquiring into the state of the law and practice in respect
to the occupation of land in Ireland laid before Parlia-
ment early in the year 1845 nearly fifty specific recom-
mendations, the adoption of which has not yet been pro-
posed to this House by the Government which nominated
that commission. 4. That to institute solemn inquiries
without any intention of realising useful results from
them, is not only a waste of public money, but is a dei-
lasive mockery, cherishing hope only to disappoint it ;
which is calculated to excite just indignation on the part
of the people of Ireland ; and that it is, therefore, the
duty of Government to submit to the consideration of
Parliament, with the authority and influence which
Government alone can command, such useful measures
as may have been recommended by the corn-
missioe.s which they have appointed. 5. Th 4
the present Administration has voluntarily crip-
pled its power of effecting useful legislation
for Ireland, by advising her Majesty to fill the offices of
ChiefSecreetry, Attorney. General, and Solicitor General
for Ireland with individuals who, not possessing the con-
fidence of any constituency in the United Kingdom, are
excl,eled from Parliament. 6. That, under these cir-
cumstances, it is expedient that this House should ap-
point a Committee, for the purpose of considering which
of the measures relating to Ireland, recommended by
such commissions and Committees, may be beneficially
made the subject of legislation during the present ses-
sion; and that the assistance of the public officers of the
several departments should be afforded in framing and
giving effect to such measures.
Mr. Fitagerald—List of the names of persons returned
by the several collectors of barony cess in the county of
Tipperary to serve as petty jurors, and forwarded to the
magistrates for revision. Also, the names returned by
the magistrates after revision, to the sheriff, and the
names to the persons summoned by the sheriff to act as
jurors in the county of Tipperary for the Spring and
Summer Assizes of 1845 and the Spring Assizes of 1846,
in th" same order as sent in by the collectors of barony
s,'ss and by the magistrates.
