food, she supplied her with it for three days, charging
her ls. a day, and which she paid for afterwards by

October 6. A FRESH MAN

LORD C. BUSSOLL ON AGRICULTURAL
STATISTICS.

At the annual meeting of the Bedfordshire Agricultv-
ral Society, held on Friday last, at Woburn Abbey, the
seat of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, Lord Charles
Russell, in the course of his speech, made the following
observations :—The subject of agricultural statistics was
r.ther a vexed question. He had upon previous occa-
sions ventured, in an off-hand kind of manner, to pro-
nounce himself favourable to their collection. Of course
no one can for a moment doubt the importance of infor-
mation of all kinds to farmers. I have no hesitation in
raying that that which I covet most for myself and my
is information. But, on the other hand, if there

is one thing more than another at which my nature re-
volts it is the horrors of the inquisition. Now, there is
a very old saying, that truth lies at the bottom of the
well. This is an abstract truth, but the fact is that
troth lies in the middle of it. It is just the attainment
of that golden medium which would be so desirable in
th collectiox of agricultural statistics. Why, how
important they must be. It was only yesterday,. when
riling over this estate, I heard a conversation which
had arisen between some farmers as to the probable cost
of cattle during this autumn, and everything relating to
this point turned upon the nature of the turnip crop ;
but the very best-informed gentleman present did not
seem to know whether the crop was good or bid through.
out England, and therefore they had not sufficient data
upon which to form their opinion. If, then, it was de-
sirable in such a case to obtain information to enable
them to lay in their autumnal stock, how much more
important was it to have correct information with re-
vue; to corn, the great staple of the country which pro-
duces the food of man. I have said that the whole of
the difficulty of this question arises in its solution, and
I want to know who is so fitted to come to an accurate
solutt-n as the farmers themselves. At present, as it ap-
pears to me, the question is somewhat equivocally dealt
with. Ono scarcely knows the opinion of the agricultu-
ral world upon the subject. Some are for, some against
it ; but no one appears very much in earnest about it, for
no ono lays his shoulder to the wheel to collect the
general opinion. If agriculturists were really in earnest,
and really desirous to cast off the certain stigma under
which they will labour as long as people are under the
impression that they want to keep back something, they
would collect the opinions of all persons interested in
the question, and then, either through their representa-
tives in Parliament, or by means of a deputation to the
Home Secretary, make known their view and wishes to
the Government of the country. (Hear, hear.) I say
this, because I am anxious that the agriculturists should,
as a body, stand ai well in the social scale as it is pos-
sible for them to do. They stand at the present moment
almost as high as any body of men can, and no human
being has a right to complain of them, or to throw at
them the charge that they profess what they do not
practise ; and if some are a little dissatisfied, and sneer
at the agriculturists, while at the same time they expose
their own ignorance, it is owing to the fact that the far-
mers have opposed the collection of agricultural statistics.
Let them, then, put their shoulders to the wheel and
remove tLat stigma, and then they will occupy as high
a pisition as any industrialC community in the universe.

NEW BONAPARTIST PROJECT.—The sudden determi-
nation expressed by the French Emperor to remain ah-
s_mt from Paris until the first week in December has
given ri=e to much gossiping rumour, which, no 6 having
been contradicted, is taking root in the publidmind.
'rho r,ason for the measure, accredited by the romantic
portion of the community, is that,
in consequence of the
still delicate health of the Empress, it would be wise to
avoid the Tuileries until after the vapours which arise
from the Seine in the month of November shall have been
dispelled by the first frost,'. It is, however, certain that
Versailles has struck the fancy of the Empiess, who from
the very first has expressed a repugnance to inhabiting the
Tuileries, and whose aversion to the place has increased to a
greater degree than eversince the bir,h of the Prince Impe-
rial. The publiCity of the gardeesof thepalace, the im-
possibility of enjoying private exercise with the nurse,
and the rride of power cause this fancy for a winter
establishment at Versailles. Should the •prospect be
realised, the whole of the buildings round the palace
would be restored to their former uses. The foreign am-
bassadors would have their alleted hotels, and the diffe-
rent ministbres their bureaux—in short, the dead city
would be restored to life again. The plan forms part of
the system which has long occupied the mind of the Bo'
p,lir, and is connected with his scheme of the future
decent ralisation of France. Ever since Louis Napoleon's
accession to the throne, he has entertained the idea of
punishing Paris by reducing it to the simple part ofd:
leader GI the fine arts, literature, and. science, and
ied
priving it of its political position. The sensation caused
