SEEDS ADULTERATION DILL

On the order of the day,
Mr. WELBY moved the second reading of this bill, and
said that it had received the support not only of the gene-
ral public, but also that of the most respi-ctable members
of the seed trade. The adulteration of scocls affected the
small farmer in a much greater degree than the large pro-
prietor of I.tnd, for the latter, as a rule, could
always buy from a large dealer, whlst the former
was in most cases dependent for his supply upon the small
dealer in his own neighbourood. The Lon. gentleman
quoted statistics to prove the alarming amount of adul-
teration in this business, and affirmed that six or eight
manufacturies existed for the express purpose of tam-
pering with and adulterating seeds. The average
amount of adulteratien amounted to 33 per cent. The bill
which he had brought forward would, he thought, con-
siderably check the progress of adulteration, while a pro-
viso in the second clause would prevent any injury being
done to legitimate operation or to trade.

Mr. COLLINS hoped the bill would be allowed to pass
the second readiug, but considering the small amount of
information possessed upon this subject, ha proposed that
it should then be referred to a select catumitee In many
cases, too, adulterations took place, not to deceive the pur-
chaser, but to equalise the standard of seeds and for other
purposes.

Race Glasses, byVoigtl.inder, are now ao longer the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, au opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some
instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the bust French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23e, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge
their taste iu the possession of a veritable Voigtlander at
comparatively trilling cost. It is suparllitous to say the
quality is as ever matchless.
