THE USES OF LIQUID MANURE.
A few days since Mr. Moore, the secretary to the Me-
tropolitan Sewerage Manure Company, in compliance
with the request of several influential agriculturists, de-
livered a lecture on the application and advantages of
liquid manure, to a meeting of agriculturists, at the in-
stitution, at Staines.
The lecturer stated that the capabilities of the agri-
cultural interest were not at present more than half de-
veloped in accordance with the present state of science ;
that in consequence of the deficiency of scientific know-
ledge, and inattention on the part of the practical agri-
culturists of the kingdom, fully one-half of the raw ma-
terial available for the manufacture of food was lost, and
that the annual present money value of that loss is equal
to the annual profit on the foreign commercial and
manufacturing trade of the kingdom. As a practical
farmer, who had during the last twenty-five years
brought to bear on agriculture the science of the
day, he was compelled to admit that during twenty
years of that period he had been sustaining that pro-
portion of loss on the farm which he cultivated, and it
was only by accident that he was convinced of his error.
The loss referred to is sustained by the general neglect
of the liquid manure made on the farm, and also by al-
lowing the solid manure to ferment and decompose to so
,great an extent before it is used that the principal part
of the most valuable portion of it (being volatile) has
been dissipated. The soil also, by improved cultivation,
is capable of bearing a considerable increase of crop. He
was glad to be able to admit that many of the farms in
this neighbourhood were in a high state of cultivation in
proportion to the depth to which they -were cultivated;
but he was convinced that if land was improved to the
depth of twelve or sixteen inches instead of six or eight
inches, such land would not only be less susceptible of
the vicissitudes of the weather, but would yield crops
approaching to double in amount; the roots of the plants
could obtain food at a greater depth, instead of being
forced to contend with each other for food near the sur-
face in a limited sphere. But the first step in this im-
provement is that admirable system of thorough drain-
ing and sub-soil ploughing introduced by Mr. Smith,
of Deanston, and which is absolutely necessary for all
soils that are so adhesive as not to absorb all the rain
water as .it falls upon them. Some years back Sir J.
Graham published an account of an experiment made
by him on this principle; he let a field of very inferior
land to a tenant at ss. per acre, who complained that it
was not worth the rent, as scarcely any animal would
eat the grass that grew upon it, which induced the land-
lord to take it into his own hand, and try the effect of
Mr. Smith's method of improvement. It was accordingly
thoroughly drained, and sub soil ploughed and manured
for green crop, after which it was sown with a corn
crop and grass seed; after the crop of corn was re-
moved, it being then under clover, it was valued and let
to a tenant on a twenty-one years' lease, at a guinea per
acre. If his memory was correct, it was stated that the
proceeds of the green crop and corn crop covered the
whole of the expenses incurred in the improvement.
After the land had been treated as recom-
mended by Mr. Smith, it was necessary to
give it an increased quantity of manure. It
might be asked, whence is the additional quantity of
manure to be obtained ? In reply, he not only sug-
gested the necessity of saving the liquid manure made
upon the farm, but also solicited the attention of the
farmers of the neighbourhood to a source of supply
ample to the utmost extent of their wants. A Com-
pany has been formed for the purpose of transmitting the
sewage manure of the metropolis into the country to the
extent of twenty-five miles, by the means of steam
power and pip* which will enable the Company to dis-
tribute it in the fields for the farmers at so low a price •
as it would cost them to cart it from their farm-yards
and distribute it in the fields. It is intended to lay the
main pipe along the main road through Hammersmith,
Brentford, and Hounslow, and branch mains on to Chert-
sey, Staines, and Colebrook, from which service-pipes
will be laid at about half-mile distances into the lands
where the manure will be required ; taps will be in the
service-pipes at certain distances, to any of which a hose
pipe can be attached by the Company's men for the pur-
pose of distributing the liquid manure in the respective
fields as may be required. The facility and economy
of this mode of transmission and distribution enables
the Company to supply it on such low terms.
Some persons have imagined that it is the
solid part of this manure that is the most
valuable, but this idea is inconsistent with correct prin-
ciple and practical results. A reference to a very simple
fact, with which we are all conversant, will sufficiently
illustrate this principle ; we all know the great profi-
ciency of the ladies in the making of tea—how do they
proceed ? They pour water upon the solid vegetable
that they put into the teapot ; in the course of a few
minutes they pour out the exhilirating beverage as clear
(but coloured) as the purest water. When they are sa-
tisfied in having thus exhausted all the virtue of the tea,
what becomes of the solid matter ? We all know that it
is thrown away as useless. Similar treatment is adopted
with the liquid manure of Edinburgh ; small cesspools
are made along the main course, in which the solid
matter is allowed to fall as deposit befot e the liquid is
put over the land, and this solid deposit, when occa-
sionally cleared out, is disposed of as of very little
value. One of the very great advantages in the applica-
tion of liquid manure is, thatit is just in the very state
ready to be taken up as food by the vegetable kingdom,
as it is well known that no vegetable can take up solid
manure before it is dissolved. The lecturer then re-
ferred to several other advantages attendant upon the
application of manure in a liquid state. Agricultural

BRADFORD MARKET, VIIURSDAY.—The demand for
all kinds of combing wool is unprecedentedly slack, but
p • rices continue firm. There is a fair demand for cloth-
ing wools. The spinners are very cautious in their
business operations, and are only running as many frames
as will supply their orders. For the season, we hardly
ever remember such a slackness in trade. Prices are
ruinously low compared with the price of wool. There
was a good attendance of lookers on in the piece mar-
ket, but comparatively few pieces are changing hands.
The manufacturers are merely producing goods to sup-
ply orders or deficiencies in their small stocks. There
is no change in price.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—In the latter
part of Tuesday there was more disposition to do busi-
ness in cloth than has been shown for many weeks past;
and parties refusing to purchase on the terms offering in
the early part of the day, were willing buyers before the
close of the market. This feeling both yesterday and
to day has been on the increase, and in a few cases a
slight advance has been obtained, though it is by no
means general, but the market closes rather buoyant
than otherwise. Yarns for the East are tolerably ready
sale, and fully as dear. Altogether it may be said that
the market is decidedly in an improving state.
LEICESTER.—Trade is in the same dull state as last
reported. No improvement is likely to take place until
after Easter. Wools anti Yarns Are flat, without alte-

THE SUEZ CANAL.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE MEDITER.
RANEAN AND RED SEA.
(From L'llluitration, of April 4, 1846;)

" The waters shall fail from the sea, and the brooks
of defence shall be dried up."—lsaiah.
When one casts one's eyes over the Isthmus of Suez,
one is tempted to reproach nature, which has protracted
the Red Sea, between Asia and Africa for 500 leagues,
ith a deficiency of force to conduct 30 leagues further
up to the Mediterranean. Why, one is prompted to in.
quire, do we permit an isthmus of barren sands tra-
versed by the came!, that monotous "ship of the desert,"
to the other than a maritime strait, ploughed like the
Bosphorus or the Dardanelles by innumerable vessels
with streams of a thousand colours?
The undertaking of the Suez Canal is one of those
performances in which the principle of association will
have to perform the principal part. It is at the same
time one of those which promises future men the greatest
enjoyments, and tends to awaken in the present
the brightest aspirations. The intercommunication
of the Red Sea and Mediterranean is a work of
harmony and peace ; for it tends to the intimate
union of western and eastern civilisation ; that is to
say, of the two great divisions of human existence.
This, moreover, is no new tendency. From time im-
memorial the idea of a canal communication across the
Isthmus has subsisted in the world. Never has man lost
sight of this crowning work—steadily, faithful to the
conviction that it was destined for him at some future
day to repair the premeditated oversight of nature, and
make a maritime wedding between the Red Sea and
Mediterranean.
The Pharoahs, those Titans of ancient times, who
erected the gigantic pyramids—dug lakes of a dozen
leagues in circuit, and converted granite mountains into
monolithic temples, found, it is probable, the junction of
the two seas a trivial operation. They realised the
project of the junction of the Pelusiac or eastern branch
of the Nile by the medium of the Wady Tomilat, or
vale of Geshen ; and by the Bitter Lakes, which were
then contiguous to the Arabic Gulf. An ancient
tradition records that Menelefis, after the siege of Troy,
traversed the Isthmus of Suez in order to visit Ethiopia.
Ilerodotus informs us that Darius completed the canal
which led from the Pelusiac branch to the Bitter Lakes,
and which had been commenced by the successors of
Cambyses. _

When, at a later period, the sands. had filled up or

dig por-
tion a or r-
clear the canal of the Nile from the Wady Tomilat to one
of the navigable branches of the river. This was the
system of communication which existed in the times of
Strabo and the Ptolemies.
In the time of the Fatimite Caliphs, there was scarcely
any other communication between Suez and Cairo but
through the interior of Egypt, by means of the Canal of
ejan, which traversed the Wady Tomilat, and which
thus united Cairo with the Bitter Lakes. This latter
system was limited to the mere advantage of Egyptian
commerce. A railroad from Cairo might be advanta-
geously substituted for it.
It is sufficiently notorious that Napoleon, at the time
of the French expedition to Egypt, devoted bis ambitious
mind to the great enterprise of cutting through the Isth-
mus. According to the project of the French engineers
attached to that expedition, it was proposed to fill the
Bitter Lakes with water from the Nile, taken at its
height in Cairo, and conducted through the valley of
Tomilat. It was also proposed to clear the ancient
Canal of Suez to the Bitter Lakes (thirteen miles and a
half in length), and feed it with water from the Red Sea.
In conformity with this plan, the communication would
have traversed Egypt and the Delta, as in the times of
the Ptolemies. But the chief engineer, La Pere, who
headed the commission of numerous and distinguished
engineers (including Fevre, St. Genis, Chabrol, Devil-
Tiers, Duchenoy, &c.), proposed to combine with this
scheme the additional project of a canal proceeding due
north from the northern extremity of the Bitter Lakes,
and terminating on fr.e Mediterranean at Tineh, near
the ancient seaport city of Pelusium. For this purpose
he took an elaborate and complete survey, recording in
the most masterly manner all the levels of his projected
line, and the soundings required for the two seaports at
either extremity, which is preserved among the official
archives of the French Government. It may be briefly
remarked that this important appendix to the project
would, if carried out as intended at the time of Napo-
leon's expedition, have effected a direct and permanent
union between the Red Sea and Mediterranean.

During his sojourn in Egypt, however, Napoleon did
no more than revive an ineffaceable idea and aspiration
immemorially handed down from age to age. But it was
the destiny of that great genius to contend with men
rather than with nature, and it was net given to the last
of the now happily extinct race of conquerors to con-
quer the obstacles which the Isthmus of Suez opposes,
uniting the Mediterranean, where he first saw the light,
with the ocean which witnessed his dying moments.
Peace has now reigned undisturbed for thirty years
among the governing powers of the world. Modern
civilisation, which bus been charged by some ascetic
spirits with irreligious tendencies, may be said at this
moment to be accomplishing one of the most religious
achievements. It is everywhere creating new and
humanising modes of rapid communication•by means of
railways and canals. Innumerable steam-vessels plough
all the seas of the globe. India and China are open to
Europeans, and Japan will, on the first occasion, yield to
the resistless sway of the great civilising movement.
Already has the ancient route from India by the Red Sea
been fully established, as far as concerns the transit of
costly wares, letters, and passengers. The passage from
Bombay to London has been reduced to au average of
30 days ' • and the desert from Suez to Cairo, in default
of a railway, exhibits a tolerably good road, regularly
traversed by omnibuses, and accommodated with stations
and hotels.

All things seem, therefore, to prepare the way for the
immediate solution of an important problem, namely,
the viability (viabilite) of our globe. The undertaking
of the canal of Suez would augment the value of those
great European railways which terminate at Trieste, or
abut on the Mediterranean. The bankers and capitalists
who have supported or constructed those railways, are
vitally interested in a free communication between the
two seas. That communication constitutes in reality the
in-.ispensable completion of the entire chain of European
railways. It will supply the last link and final rivet to
the system.

What system of communication should be adopted ?
What is the best mode of execution and of management?
After mature deliberation, our opinion is decided that
the communication should be direct, and maritime. The
medium by which the Red Sea and the Mediterranean
should be united must be an artificial Bosphorus. It
must be by an arm of the sea projected across it, that
the isthmus must be pierced. Created by human agency,
the Suez Bosphorus will have the manifest advantage
over the Bosphorus of Constantinople, viz., that of being
governable by locks. The Red Sea is thirty-two feet
higher, as is well known, than the Mediterranean ; four
locks would be amply sufficient for the difference of level.
At the north and south extremities of this great marl-
time canal two seaports are indispensable. The harbour
of Suez must be deepened, and the roadsteads secured
by breakwaters. At old Pelusium (Tineh), on the Me-
diterranean, a harbour should be constructed with jetties.
Such is the principal work of communication. An
idea of it may be readily formed by throwing a glance
over any good topographical chart of the Isthmus.
To this main work, two accessory, but equally neces-
sary, undertakings must be added; one a canal of Nile
water, the other a railway from Cairo to Suez. The
last, however, may be dismissed in a few words. Though
necessary, it may be transient, and it may be abandoned
or surrendered to the Pacha, as soon as it has accom-
plished its main purpose—namely, of facilitating the
labours and accelerating the completion of the canal.
Provisions, water, tools, and Workmen may be conveyed
by it from Cairo to the scene of operations in three
hours, and the rails, which are pirtially
laid down in six months. ready, may be

The second accessory undertaking is a fresh water
canal. This appears to the author an indispensable sup-
plement to the maritime canal. It will permit the plantation
of the shores of this artificial Bosphorus, rendering them
as picturesque as those of the Byzantine Bosphorus. The
starting point of the fresh water canal being above the
barrage which the Pacha is now constructing, there will
be an unfailing water level quite adequate to the protrac-
ments, and the
protrac-
tion of the two rivulets—one to the north as far a Pula-
siurn, the other on the south to Suez, where fresh water
at present is totally deficient. Then will a short period
nurse up on the two banks of the maritime canal and of
the Bitter Lakes a broad girdle of vegetation, luxuriant
