adopted the ballot. was used in all the provinces
of the United State where it was important to the
existence of the cou try.
It was adopted in Aus-
tralia, in Holland, in elgium ; it was a part of the
Spanish constitutio of 1812, and it existed in
France. It might b said that in some places it was
not the ballot alo that was in operation. Well,
he had nothinr, o say for anything but the ballot.
It had been h oken in upon in some places no doubt,
but that di not show that, it would not be useful
where it as respected. Except in England the
ballot was considereda part of every efficient repre-
sentative system, and he knew of no case in which
the ballot had once been introduced into a country
and abandoned. Observe the progress of this ques-
tion. When first this subject was discussed they
might have counted the members of Parliairent
who supported it on their ten fingers. What had
been the progress since? He did not mean to say
they carried a majority in the House of Common.
but the power had grown so great that
the result was that no liberal cabinet could be
formed without making the ballot an open ques-
tion. With respect to a Conservative Government
he could not speak so decidedly, although we • saw
that they now largely professed to be anxious to
conform to public opinion, and all that the masses
were demanding. Well, the ballot had reached
that point that a government, professing reform,
could not exist unless it admitted into its bosom the
opinions of those who advocated secret suffrage.
He referred to Lord J. Russell's experience, and
said that he recollected a good many years ago when
Lord I. Russell was a candidate for South. Devon,
and he found some of the " clodhoppers"—for they
were respectable yeomen if they agreed with you,
but if they disagreed they were " clodhoppers" of
course—were brought up by their landlords to vote,
and on that occasion his lordship said he was very
nearly converted to the ballot—(laughter)—it was
shocking to see how some of the landlords drove
the tenants to the poll, and a little reflection would
show Lord John Russell that what he saw in the
South of Devon occurred in other- places. He re-
ferred to the opinions of Grote, John S. Mill, and
Albany Fonblanque, the witty editor of the _Exa-
miner, and remarked that the advocacy of the ballot
was represented by the strong intellects of the
country. He referred to the ballot as being an
ancient institution, and to an opinion being preva-
lent that the loss of the ballot was one of the
causes of the fall of Roman liberty, and concluded
b y saying that he had only adduced a few reasons
in affirmation of the principle that the ballot was a
security for honest representation.
At the conclusion of Sir John Bowring's address
some discussion took place, after which the ques-
tion was put to the meeting and answered in the
affirmative.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING,
TUESDAY.

At the opening of the winter session of the
Exeter Discussion Society on last Thursday, the
president, Sir John Bowring, introduced the follow-
ing subject for discussion :—" Is the Ballot a Secu-
rity for Honest Representation ?"
Sir J. BOWRIN G said, meditating much, as hehad
been called on much to meditate, on the various
political, changes which hk.d been suggested for the
general improvement of our institutions, he had
come to the conclusion that there was nor e so im-
portant, none for which reasons so cogent and irre-
sistible could be urged, none which could derive so
much advantage from observation and experience
as that of the ballot—that instrument by which man
was protected in the honest exercise of that politi-
cal power which his country had confided to his
keeping. He had been long known as a radical re-
former, but by radicalism he would have them
understand that all that he ever meant was, that
true reform which went to the eradication of abuses;
a reform which would obtain the most efficient
government at the least possible charge. When this
question was first mooted by reformers (they were
then called extreme reformers), they were divided
into two sections ; there was first what was called
the physical force radicals, who thought that if by
agreement they could not carry their point they
were justified to have recourse to violence. He
abominated that creed. He felt assured that in a
free country like this, free discussion would triumph,
and that whatever case had sufficient . argument
to rest upon must ultimately overcome the ignor-
ance and hostility which was opposed to it. He
belonged to the other, the once small class, hon-
oured with the name of " Philosophical Radicals,"
and was connected with a periodical called the
Westminster Review, which at that time had no
small influence on the public mind. It was soon
seen that there was something to be said for radi-
calism, not merely by violent and intemperate per-
sons, but by many powerful, learned, influential,
honest, and virtuous Englishmen, who thought that
the radical changes to which he had referred were
needful for the salvation of the country. (Applause.)
Since that time radicalism had made much progress
everything that had been done wisely and well, had
been done in a radical spirit; that was, whenever
legislation had been wise and efficient, it had re-
moved the sources of public discontent, and had in-
troduced elements of public peace and satisfaction ;
and in the general tranquillity of the public mind,
and in the little disposition that now existed for in-
temperate discussion, he found results upon which
all of them, as friends of peace and progress, might
congratulate themselves. In regard to some of the
principles which had been put forward as radical
doctrines, he felt the difficulty of encountering some
of the arguments of their opponents. He wouldjake
the question of universal suffrage, and he ackuow-
ledged that it would be a most delightful state of
things—if it could be achieved—if every man could
be entrusted with an equal portion of political power;
but he could not feel that there was great strength
in the argument embodied in the question—" Will
you allow ignorance to control knowledge ? and un-
til the working classes are educated will you give
them a predominant power ?" Still, his answer was—
Educate people. Again, in respect of the re-distribse:
tion of seats, he felt that a great deal could be said
against the existing state of things, for it seemed most
unreasonable that a hundred men should have more
influence in certain localities than a hundred men
had in another; still the difficulty in redistribution
was this, that there was some advantage in small
constituencies having the representation. Again,
in regard to annual Parliaments, it was not desir-
able that men should be long entrusted with poli-
tical power, and it was desirable to have frequent
appeals to public opinion ; but it was fairly replied,
" By annual Parliaments you would get rid of ex •
perienced men just as they had learned the lesson
of Parliamentary duties' "—(hear, hear)—and, in-
deed, it took a man better than a twelvemonth to
learn the lesson. Therefore, while they alight re-
collect Franklin's opinion that no man should re-
main a representative longer than twelve months,
because it was desirable that his interest should be
made to lie amongst many, and not amongst the
ruling few—yet it might be assumed that such a
measure would probably result in crude legislation.
(Hear, hear.) But with respect to the ballot, he
never heard one argument that was not utterly
worthless as against the position that if society en-
trusted a man with the discharge of a certain duty,
all temptations should be removed from him that
would induce him to betray that trust, and that all
punishment should be averted that menaced him if
he discharged that trust honestly. Secret suffrage
was the machinery by which society provided that
honest votes should be deposited. It was nothing
beyond that. What were the arguments against
the ballot ? They were manifestly ridiculous. It
was said to be un-English. In the first place,
that was a ridiculous outbreak of national vanity,
of which any Englishman should be ashamed,
for Englishmen should not talk more of
English habits than he should talk of his own
virtues or excellencies, for they might be sure there
were many good habits which were not English,
and all were not good that were English. It was
once very English to burn witches, and it was now
somewhat English to beat wives. (Applause.) He
came now to the argument that the electoral
power was a trust for which the elector was re-
sponsible to the non-electors, and it was supposed
that the interest of the non-elector somewhat con-
trolled the elector ; but if they meant to let the
opinions of those persons influence the representa-
tion at all, let them have a vote. Be honest. Don't
gag them, but allow them full liberty of giving
their opinions. But the fact was that the non-
elector was as much interested in the protection of
the honest voter as was any one in the country.
There were two influences that acted on human
nature—one was hope, in the shape of bribery ;
and the other was terror, in the shape of menace.
Both of these influences were corrupting, and we
must take care that men were neither bribed nor
threatened into doing wrong. Well, the ballot was
the machinery by which bribery should be de-
stroyed and terrorism vanquished ; because, al-
though a candidate might purchase promises, they
might turn out to be worth nothing at all, and he
would not be likely to purchase in so bad a market.
As to the ballot being un-English, he showed that
the aristocracy used it to protect themselves in
their clubs ; that in the late management of the
great East India Empire, the aristocracy who held
the patronage disposed of the appointments by secret
votes ; that the officers who sat on courts-martial
gave their sentence by secret votes ; and the juries
in our civil and criminal courts gave their verdicts
while keeping secret their individual opinions,
which they were bound by oath not to divulge. But
if the subjects of those secret votings were import-
ant, how much more important were the concerns
of the legislation of this [great country—for we
made laws not for England alone, but for two hun-
dred millions of fellow-subjects, and how much
more necessary, therefore, was secret voting for the
protection of electors. (Applause.) At every elec-
tion the Queen's mandate went forth to the consti-
tuencies to make their free choice. " Free" with
open voting ! Free election where the candidate
went down with his purse in one hand to bribe and
corrupt, and with power in the other to frighten
and coerce ! What freedom was that ? It was
utter slavery. He appealed to the experience of
every hearer whether he had not known some honest
man who had in spite of all vindicated his own
opinion, and recorded his honest vote, and had suf-
fered for it. It was said, " Oh, a man ought not to
be ashamed of his opinion." Neither should he be,
nor should he be ashamed of martyrdom. But
would it not be better to have no martyrdom at all
—(applause)--to have no pile to which to drag the
victim ? (Applause.) He had heard of many a jest
used by the torturer towards the tortured, and of
many a witticism by the corrupter at the expense
of some poor wretch bribed or terrified into being
dishonest to his conscience, and giving a vote which
he abhorred. (Applause.) That state of things
ought not to be permitted. He was speaking fromexperience. He had gone through seven contes tas
elections, and could tell them of many instances
to
noeo
of corrupt feelings. Once a poor man

TILE REV. CANON SIOIVELI, ON GARIBALDI
AND ITALLAN.AFFAIRS.

The annual meeting of the Salford Operatives Protestant
Association was held on Monday evening at the Ilulme-
street schoolroom, and was very fully attended. The s,t,,cre-
. tary (Mr. Ford) read the annual report, which showed that
the numb?,r of tracts distributed in excess of the previous
year had been 15,000, and that the total number was 64,237.
The report expressed a hope that the wonderful events now
occurring in Italy might result to the uprooting of all error
and superstition.
The Rev. Canon STOWELL, who presided, directed atten-
tion to the state of Popery as he had recently seen it in
France. The priests were a crest-fallen class, who had lost
all their influence and felt that such was the-case. There
was not among Fre men that open brow and clear calm
eye that we saw amoilst Englishmen. Distrust and rest-
lessness reigned amongst them. Under all that was beau-
ful, sparkling, green, and fair, there was a deep volcano
of anarchy and revolution ; and while that most crafty
and mighty man who sat at the head of affairs amused the
people with display, be at the same time knit more closely
his net of steel around them, so that whilst the military
were true to him, all the mighty population were as com-
pletely in his hands as the greyhound in the leash, or the
sheep in the slaughter-house. He blamed not the Emperor
for this, so long as the Parisians preyed themselves unfit for
liberty; but he did blame him because he did not try to
raise them up by giving them a free Bible and Protestant
Christianity. (Cheers.) He would now say a word or two
on a subject which was most justly engrossing more atten •
tion than any other political or social question. He re-

ferred to the wondrous revolution going on in Italy. In that
beautiful country the soil has often been soaked with blood
in the struggles for liberty; and at last a glorious and noble
champion and patriot was found leading the people to free-
dom. He (the Rev. Canon Stowell) did not hesitate to say,
after reading the autobiography of Garibaldi, that he had
the profoundest respect for that great man. However
despots might denounce and hate Garibaldi's love
of liberty—however mach those who, would gloat over
Italy's debasement might hate his patriotism—however a
venal press might endeavour to blacken his character, or
Jesuits and their emissaries might try in every possible
way to circumvent and mislead him—however much he
might at times, perhaps, come a little under the influence
of extreme men, and be bordering upon peril—yet, " take
him for all in all," a nobler hero had not risen in these later
times. (Loud cheering.) Garibaldi was a man of truthful
and honest simplicity, of fearless bravery, and consummate
generalship; a man who could fight upon the waters and
upon the land ; one who feared not the face of man, but,
as his memoirs showed, who honoured and trusted God ; a
man whe longed to see his country free--and a poor ccun-
try, with freedom, was happier and more truly wealthy
than the most fertile country trodden by the foot of a
tyrant, and bound with the chains of despotism. (Cheers.)
Therefore his heart was with Garibaldi. (Cheers.) He might
and did deplore the horrors of war; -but Garibaldi abated
them as far as a man could. (Cheers.) He might deplore
all the ravages and devastation that followed in the track
of heaven's worse scourge and hell's darkest visitation,
bloody war; but his heart was with a man who was not
fighting for the lust of conquest under the banner of the
tyrant cr the anarchist—who was not seeking the bubble of
fame or the equal bubble of power—whe had no selfish aims
to gratify ambition, or to satiate cruelty, or to feed revenge ;
but who was fighting that his country might have fair play,
might breathe the free air of heaven—that the people might
worship God according to their conscience, and might no
longer be down-trodden and over-ridden by priestly power,
that whithering curse wherever it prevailed. (Cheers.)
Therefore he said, " Gad speed Garibaldi, and may he pros-
per." (Applause.) Garibaldi was surrounded by mighty
powers, and it remained with the God of nations whether
Italy should yet be free. There was poor, degraded, and
enslaved Austria, and also France,under the power and in the
grasp of that subtle man whose dark counsels no one could
penetrate, and it might be doubted what the issue yet
might be. All he could say was that if Louis Napoleon
robbed Italy of liberty, and took away with one hand the
boon which he professed to have given with the cthor, and
if Austria came down with all her myrmidons and tried to
crush the spirit of rising freedom—it would be might
against right, their triumph would be an inglorious one,
their trophies would be blood-stained, and the chains they
put on others they would deserve to wear themselves ; but
even though struggling with but a handful of men, ho had
such faith in the God of justice and truth, and in the
honesty and heroism of Garibaldi, as to believe that France
with her'myriads, and Austria with her myrmidons, would
find it no easy thing to stamp out the flames ofliberty in
Italy, and that Garibaldi and his freemen might perhaps
oven put to route and to shame France and Austria
combined. (Cheers.) Assuredly such a cause would have
the sympathy of this country. He did not think the

consisted of Moorcock, Killigrew, Optimist, Dulcibella,
Heiress, Plumper, Lady Trespass, Ben Webster, The Pro-
phet, Golden Pippin, and Sir William. Following these
came Stapleton, Viatka, Alderman, Newcastle, Cape Fly •
away, Comforter, Rising Sun, Ancient Briton, Feodorowna,
Maveurneen, Barabbas, and Glendinning. After going a
short distance Moorcock showed prominently in the van
with Killigrew in close attendance, Dulcibella, Heiress,
Lady Trespass, and Golden Pippin next in the order named.
In this order they came through the Ditch Gap, Dulci-
bella then rushing to the front " pulling double." Golden
Pippin compounded before reaching the Bushes, and Dulci-
bella went on with the lead, followed by Optimist, Moor-
cock, Heiress, Lady Trespass, and Killigrew, the above six
being far in advance of the ruck. Dulcibella, who was never
headed, winning in a common canter by ten lengths, a
length separating the second from the third, Moorcock was
fourth, well up, and Lady Trespass fifth. Ben Webster,
Cape Flyaway, Feodorowna, and Plumper were next in the
order named, Viatka, Starke, and The Prophet being the
last three. Stapleton broke down coming through Choke
Jade, and will never run again, and Ancient Briton pulled
up lame.

A cold threatening morning was succeeded by a clear
but windy afternoon. The morning trains from London
brought a great accession of visitors, and by an early hour
the vicinity of the betting rooms was thronged by specu-
lators and those anxious to ascertain the latest state of the
odds. The prices at the break-up, before going on to the
Heath, were much the same as on the preceding night.
At 6 to 1 Dulcibella was firm, 10 to 1 was taken about
Golden Pippin, and Heiress advanced point by point until
11 to 1 was taken ; at 100 to 6 Stapleton, Optimist, and
Mavourneen were also well supported.

The first race, The Whip, was set for 15 minutes past
twelve, and it resulted in a magnificent struggle between
Promised Land and Special License, the judge's verdiCt
being given in Mr. Merry's favour by a head, Starke, the
American candidate, being hopelessly beaten, and pulling
up some distance from home.
Dundee did not put in an appearance for the Clearwell,
and in his absence the yellow jacket was carried by his
stable companion, Folkestone, who was made the favourite,
and won very easily by two lengths.
For the Cesarewitch, 27 came to the post out of the 33
coloured on the card. The race admits of little comment,
for Dulcibella won all the way, and passed the post the
winner by ten lengths. She was originally the property of
Lord W. Powlett, who sold her for £4OO last spring, when
he purchased Promised Land and Traducer of Mr. Wil-
liam Day.

country should go to war ; but there was a moral influence
and sympathy which England might extend to struggling
Italy. (Cheers.) England was free herself, and should
wish to see others free. Her moral influence might yet
protect struggling Italy, and he trusted they might yet
see that country spiritually and politically free. (Cheers.)
They had recently seen that the Bible was publicly sold in
the streets of Naples. They might as well almost have
supposed, a short time ago, that the Protestant Bible would
be sold in tho very vestibule of the place of woe. (Laughter.)
And then what was to become of the poor old Pope ? It
was said that the Emperor of France had a berth ready
for him, and it was also said he was going to Jerusalem
and even to Ireland. His prayer for the Pope was, that ho
might himself become another man, and give up his pre-
tensions to the vicar and become the lowly servant and
minister of Christ. Ho exhorted the " Protestant watch-
men" before him not run away with a false notion. As the
Pope did not make Popery, but Popery made him so if he
were shut up in St. Helena, millions would still stick to the
system. The downfall of the temporal power of the Papacy
might shake, but it would not destroy Popery. He urged
them, therefore, to go on with their work. The false
prophet, Mahomet, was near his destruction, and he be-
lieved the false priest would not be long after him.
(Cheers.) Several other speeches having been delivered,
the meeting separated.

Mr. Ten Broeck, the American, followed his run of ill
luck by running second with Optimist, as he had done witn

Palace, The former young gentlen 'lan will most
probably turn out a very hardy soldie ;.he lay on
an ant-hill all night, with a stone fen his pillow,
and lent me his cloak besides. About St. 'v,
our ad-
en o'clock
we started for Santa Maria, and reache
vanced post, about a mile beyond a the extitnity of
the town, quite far e.l,,ugh ; but Nrsfield, fl En neck-
lace of red beads for a stock, and with a loog pole,
wanted to make a further march along the roc:e
in
the face of the enemy. As there was no firing
going on at the moment, we returned a short (lis-
ten ..!e and took up a position on a hill close by with
a tolerable view. Afterwards we called upon Gen.
Eber, a Hungarian, who occupied some most
splendid rooms in the town. I had known him
before as the correspondent of the Eines in the
Crimea. Whilst with him a woman came in to
ask pardon of Garibaldi for killing a brigand who
had attacked her house, robbed it, and carried her
off. Eber informed her that he was sure the ge-
neral would approve of her conduct, and she went
away comforted. What we had been told about
a battle being imminent turned out moonshine.
Garibaldi had suddenly left the town, and all was
peace for the day. We therefore returned to
Naples.
" Sept. 16, 17, 18.—Nothing of any importance
occurred either in the camp or at Naples, but on
the 19th it seemed generally understood that a
battle would take place, almost immediately,
close to Capua. We therefore started at two o'clock
( roughly speaking, the same party ), ar-
riving at Santa Maria about six a.m., and found
all the troops moving towards Capua—rather sorry-
looking I must say, half of them mere boys. But
little fellows of ten, eleven, twelve years, fight like
small demons, stride the guns, and fire them off with
as much coolness as old ',artillerymen. We got to
the first picket, a large archway at the extremity
of the town, barricaded by the trunks of trees and
bushes—here was the commencement of the road.
leading direct to Capua, about three miles off. As
the Neapolitans were occasionally firing down this
road, it was for each gentleman, more especially'
for the amateur, to make his own estimate of the
worth-while and of the value of military glory.
practically speaking ; in short, to consider what
line he chould take towards
,the besieged city,
whether to go straight along the road under fire
or to make a circumbendibus across the fields under
the shelter of the trees. Sarsfield, Ashley, and
Davidson went fast to the front, and so did James,
your humble correspondent close in their wake.
James and myself had not advanced far on the
road, when we were joined by one of the legation
—a very good-humoured and humorous gentleman,
much given to laughter. But his ardent mind,
when under pressure, being more bent on the honours
of diplomacy than OR the glories of war, its horrors
had no charm for him. Bright would have deified
him. A shot was fired from the fort—' There
goes a smasher for three or four military heroes,
at the smallest computation. Military glory is
a fine thing, but does not belong to my depart-
ment. May we not pay too high a price for it. Mr.
Smith ? Ha ! ha ! ha!' The diplomatist, in con-
tinuance—' They say none but the brave deserve
the fair, and so soldiers, who of course are all brave,
get an undue preference by the ladies over the civil
portion of the community; but, barring libel, in my
humble opinion, were a diplomatist allowed to carry
handsome epaulettes on his shoulders, the fair would
appreciate his merits more than those of the brave
man, soldier or not, without those ornaments.'
" Very near the road was a monastery, with a very
good view. We knocked at the gate. An old monk
opened it, and asked us in to breakfast, an offer
which we accepted. Though we could overlook most
of the ground neighbouring Capua, which was not
more than a mile off, we could not see the fort for
the trees close up to it. At this time the shot and
shell were flying about us in all directions, Her
Majesty's counsel, impatient of inaction and to be
in the fray, proposed to leave for a nearer station.
To this the diplomatist strongly objected. I confess
I agreed with the latter, my opinion that discretion
is tke better part of valour strengthening with ex-
perience, However, James started notwithstanding,
and placed myself by his side, the diplomatist a
little behind. We soon separated, however, the law-
yer arriving at the road before the other and my-
self. The great guns were sweeping all before
them at this time. James had, however, got into
a small carriage, with another person, trying to
to go forward—l suppose, intending to take the
place himself. I attempted to join the party, but
the fit was too tight, and as I fell back a grape-
shot went right through the foot-board be-
tween the two, and just in the place where I should
have been seated had I been admitted—a nearer
shave than that of Sir Roger de Coverley. The
bureaucrat and I thought it time to look for our-
selves, and to find shelter where we could. Though
there was a haystack not 1003•ards off, under which
we could have found almost immediate repose, never
did diplomat make such a dangerous circuit to get
out of danger—proving beyond dispute how great
a blunderer is panic. Shot after shot came rolling
along. This won't do at all,' said my companion.
What won't do ?" Pressing business demands my
attention at the legation, and I'm off to Naples by
the rail.' All the party was now separated, and I
returned by myself to the highway, the firing down
the road from the fort continuing very sharp, and
the wounded being carried into Santa Maria in
great numbers. All at once there was a cry that
the Neapolitan cavalry were coming, and we all ran
for it, some red-coats included—a regular panic.
I met an English officer coming up at the head of
about fifty of the most ragged fellows I ever be-
held. Come along with me,' said my friend, let
us drive those panic-mongers back.' What can I
do ?' I replied. I have left my revolver behind,
and have only this big stick.' ' Never mind, take
my revolver—l have a sword.' I accepted the re-
volver, but fortunately, most probably, for my life
or my limbs—whether for my glory or not I depone
not—my friend started off at such a rattling
pace at the head of his men that I was soon
distanced. I shouted after him, and he came
back. I returned him the lethal instrument,
thanking him for the loan; and his opinion of my
zeal and courage. In about twenty minutes ho
came back, having lost ten of his men—so much for
the discretion and short wind of your humble ser-
vant. Our hero returned with a whole skis, but I
think he had made up his mind, if necessary, to die
__
gloriously. Be good enough to tell them, if 'fail,
that you saw me going forward. Cheerfully, I
replied, ' and should I fall, don't you say that you
saw me going backward; I am but an amateur.

But to return to our personal narrative.
None of the
ce party had
set eyes on the Queen's
counsel sin the foot-board affair, so Captain
Davidson, Myself, and Billing, his servant, set
out in search of
him. We looked over the
ground where
we had last seen him—nowhere
to be found. We then went to the hospital, to
which ho might have
been carried. Not there
either. At last, it ast, being quite dark, we concluded
that he • h 'mg t have left for Naples, and we started
for that plat©. We had not gone three miles before
we were pulled up at an advanced post of the Gari-
baldians, when we were informed that we had mis-
taken the way, and were on the high road to Capua.
'Had we arrived there, what with the aid of our red
coats and other unmistakeable Garibaldian insignia,
we should most probably have been subjected to a
summary and inglorious death, and all the pains I
had taken to the contrary during the conflict would
of course have been lost. We returned forthwith to
Santa Maria, and obtained a pass from General
Eber for the Caserta road. On our arrival at
Naples we found her Majesty's counsel fast asleep
in bed.—l am, &c., "W. ADAMS SMITH."

THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—The accounts re-
ceived from all quarters tend to confirm the hope that, not-
withstanding theunusually severe season, the harvest 'fa be
more than an average one. A correspondent of the .Erening
Post, writing from the county of Wexford, give° s most
favourable account of the grain crap in that district, parti-
cularly of the barley. With regard to the potatoes the
account is less gratifying. He says, "All through the dis-
tricts in which I have lately passed the farmers are pretty
well satisfied—in many cases they say the produce is good,
although they have suffered severely by the loss of potatoes.
In the greater part of this barony of Forth the potato crop

almost a total failure, and the residue saved is not good in.
