CULTIVATION OF TOBACCO.

From a report addressed to the Agricultural So-
ciety of Algiers, it appears that while in 1848 the
province of Algiers only produced 138,574 kilog. of
tobacco, it yielded 621,027 kilog. in 1852, and
3,751,214 kilog. in 1857, equivalent in value to
3,409,883. f. This immense increase in so important
a branch of trade has, therefore, in the course of 10
years, bettered the financial condition of the 'pro-
vince of Algiers alone by nearly 4,000,000 f. per
annum, a sum which remains in the country, and
is not liable suddenly to disappear like French or
,foreign capital, which takes alarm at the slightest
commercial difficulty, and withdraws from the
market, often creatin(r a, serious crisis. The culti-
vation of tobacco produces other advantages be-
sides ; it leads to the draining.of insalubrious and
unprofitable marshes, and it inspires the native
population with a desire to improve their condition.
A family enjoyinc, a good reputation easily find a
landed proprietor to entrust them with the cultiva-
tion of one or more hectares of good land, and to
provide them for six or eight months with every
necessary-of life. At the end of the season, this
land will have produced from 1,500 f. to 2,500 f. per
hectare ; the landlord receives his share, and the
family, after reimbursing his outlay, find them-
selves in possession of a surplus with which they
can rent land on their own account ; and thus, in
a few years, they may be in a condition to purchase
land for themselves, and become substantial agri-
culturists. There is, however, an insect. which at-
tacks the tobacco-plant, and will'somet imes destroy
the finest crops, which otherwise fear
nor frost, and are but slightly neither hail
affected by the
sirocco. This insect gnaws•
the
roots and stalks
histhe
ground two or
three times, and eventually to sustain a consider-
able loss in the quantity ultimately reaped.
Theie are different species of this insect, some of
which merely attack
the outside, while others
penetrate into the interior of the stalk. Up to the
present time every effort to
has been unavailing ; but the Prince Minister of
Algeria has recently received a letter from a person
who saffers to publish a secret of his for a sufficient
remuneration. His secret consists in steeping the
plant in a certain decoction before planting it.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING CASE.-BAIN V. LINCOLN.

In this case the plaintiff, as broker to Messrs. Robinson
and Flemming, merchants, sought to recover the sum of
14 7s. for breach of contract under the following circum-
stances :

Messrs. Robinson and Flemming had chartered a vessel,
of which defendant was captain. Defendant, however, took
up another charter, and plaintiff's principal had to pay a
higher rate of freight, and now sought to recover the da-
mages so sustained.
His Honour—You are no party to the charter party?
Plaintiff—No ; but lam agent to Mews. Robinson and
Co., who hold me responsible.
His Honour—You cannot sue. You have not signed the
charter party. Your principals are contractors, and they
having sustained the loss must sue.
Plaintiff—Then I must ask your Honour for commission
and charter stamp. That is always paid by the ship.
His Honour—Then you will be nonsuited as to the
breach of contract, and have a verdict for the commission.

pensary situated in h
Exeter-cange, and defendant is a fur
dealer, of Bridgewater-ate
The action was brought to recover the sum of £3 for
medical attendance and medicine supplied.
Defendant objected to plaintiff's recovering eught but the
drugs actually supplied, as he was not a member of the
College of Surgeons.
Plaintiff, with a broad and almost unintelligible Scotch
accent, said that he had practised before the Apothecaries'
Act came into operation. He commenced practice 40 years

ago.
His Honour—Then the act does not apply to plaintiff.

pensary and bled him.
His Honour—Bled him?
Plaintiff—Of course, for reaction. Why, I can also tell
you, my good friend, that if Sir Robert Peel had been bled
he would have been alive now.
His Honour—Well, then, then, you the =tie of Sir R.
Peel's death was his not being bled ?
Plaintiff—l do. Well, sir, I bound his arm up, and gave
him two pills and some ointment, and I visited him at his
own house, and then the shabby fellow" called ft another
professor.
His Honour—Well, I think you charge him enough for
bleeding, £1 ls. is a stiff price.
Plaintiff—Ah, I am looked up to very much. You should
see my book, " The Cause of Cholera." I'll send it to you.
His Honour (hastily)—Oh I no don't. (Laughter.)
What was the cause ?
Plaintiff (as though parting with a secret)—Impure air.
(Laughter.)
His Honour—Ah I Well, I've heard that the air in Rus-
sia is most pure and bracing, and cholera kills people there
by thousands.
Plaintiff (nonplused)—Ah I That may bo so, but you
should read my book.
Defendant thought this was a regular extortion. He
was carried into plaintiff's dispensary by the plaintiff
himself. He bled me, whether I liked it or not. Ho tied
my arm up with a piece of his wife's old dress, gave me
two pills and a box of ointment, and forcibly entered my
room, from which he was ordered by my son, and charges
me now D.

His Honour thought the plaintiff had stuck it on pretty
well ; but defendant must recollect that he was delivered
from two things—the carriage and the doctor. Under all
the circumstances plaintiff could only recover £1 ls.

and better nourishmbnt than its cost of lid. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay;, hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great improve-
ment in the digestive functions, the stamina and general
condition of horses enabling them to perform far more
labour without getting distressed. It imparts new vigour
to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out horses, and
it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle generally, and im-
proves the milk in cows, as it enables thein to extract the

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already
its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought so-ne
of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course or a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. AsTain we find at the late ae.rri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion aryl testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FOREIGN PROSTITUTES.—DEPUTATION TO THE MA.
GISTRATES FROM THE VESTRY.—In the course of tho
morning two or three foreign prostitutes wore brought up
before Mr. Bingham, charged with annoying gentlemen,
near the County Fire-office, Regent-street, and in the case
of one of them, Charlotte Lami, she was fined 10s., or ten
days. The constable stated that he saw her and a com-
panion seize a gentleman, one by each arm, and after leav-
ing him repeat the same conduct to another. He then said
he should take them into custody, when she made use of a
very disgusting expression.
Mr. J. Gamlin, of 26, Sherrard-street, saddler, confirmed
the constable's evidence.
As soon as the case was disposed of, a deputation from
the vestry of St. James's, consisting of Mr. Compton, of
Brewer-street ; Mr. Snow, of Sherrard-street ; Mr.
Gambier, of Sherrard-street; Mr. Wildsmith, of Sherrard-
street ; and Mr. Elkington, of Regent-street, waited on
Mr. Bingham, concerning the abominable nuisance of
foreign prostitutes and fellows who live on their prostitu-
tion, assembling about Sherrard-street and the County
Fire-office.
In the course of some remarks between Mr. Bingham
and the deputation, it was stated that although the nui-
sance was still very great, yet there had been a great im-
provement since the constables of the A division had done
duty there.
Mr. Elkington said he thought if a little more imprison-
ment, instead of fines, was inflicted, it would have a good
effect, as ho believed they care little for fines, having a fund
to meet them.

Mr. Bingham said the fact was, the feeling of the coun-
try was against imprisonment. It was the wish of himself
and colleague to keep the streets as decent as possible.
Mr. Elkington said he understood that one of the women
made £2B a week.

Mr. Bingham said, in whatever was done, caution must
be used, that the evil was not made worse.
After some conversation, the deputation thanked his
worship and withdrew,

BREACH OF THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT.—
At the Liverpool police-court, yesterday (Wednesday), John
De Mont, an unlicensed shipping master, was charged with
having shipped several of the crew of the Government emi-
gration ship Vocalist, bound for Port Natal. It was proved
that Do Mont procured "sailors," and shipped them on,
board emigrant ships, principally Australian. Three dif-
ferent charges were sustained, and a penalty of £2O in each
case was inflicted, or three months' imprisonment, wakiug
a total of £6O, or vino months' inaprisonment.

REMITTANCES FROM AUSTRALIA.

It is said that the last Australian mail, which
was delivered in Dublin on Sunday last, contained
the almost incredible number of
.1,400 registered
money letters transmitted by emigrants to relatives
and friends in the old country. Even without this
rate in aid, whatever it may amount to, money is
just now reported to be tolerably abundant among
farmers of the smallest class, notwithstanding the
comparatively high standard of agricultural wages
this year.
THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
The following are the latest reports received here
from Valentia :
" VALENTIA, Nov. 13.—The steam-tug Robert
Bruce arrived here on the 9th inst., at about 10
a.m. The day was beautifully fine, but nothing
was done tote cable. The Stag has been here
since the 26th ult., and finer weather could not be
than has prevailed since that time. Since the
10th instant the wind has been freshening, and

mostoWithout attributing to the parties concerned
any blame save for want of judgment it is ob-
vious to all observers here that much more could be
done. Nov. 12.—1 t is now blowing a stiff breeze at
S.E., which would render it rather difficult to pur-
sue underrunning the cable, although last year,
when Sir B. Bright was here, scores of miles of the
first cable were underrun in at least as rough wea-
ther. It is as gratifying as it is true that two or
three miles of the cable (Agamemnon's) underrun
from the Lough Kay entrance of the harbour appear
to the eye perfectly sound. From some cause or
other the Agamemnon, when near the Blasqucts
and approaching Valentia, paid out too much 'slack,'
which would tend to form coils, and hence perhaps
' kinks,' and a fault or faults in the cable there-
abouts would be probable. It is to be regretted that
the cable has not been for some 15 or 18 miles un-
derrun and tested (when it was so feasible as lately)
and the vexata qnestio so far determined. Possibly,
when the weather permits, more energetic measures
will be pursued. No director or person with execu-
tive authority (excepting those mentioned in my
last) has been hereon the part of the company since
the 'shore end' was sent from England. Messages
(if any) that might be coming from America must
remain unnoticed, as the Atlantic office is closed up
and the staff disbanded. Up to a certain point it is,
perhaps, not wonderful to expect that personswhen
left to their own resources in such an important
work, should act with over-caution. The attempt
to resuscitate a work of such world-wide import-
ance and interest would, however, demand the ut-
most energy and perseverance, and sympathy for
the spirited shareholders warrants the anxiety of
the public when they consider that favourable
opportunities Are not availed of."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FOREIGN PROSTITUTES.—DEPUTATION TO THE MA-
GISTRATES FROM THE VESTRY.—III the _course of the
morning two or three foreign prostitutes were brought up
before Mr. Bingham, charged with annoying gentlemen,
near the County Fire-office, Regent-street, and in the case
of one of them, Charlotte Lami, she was fined 10s., or ten
days. The constable stated that he saw her and a com-
panion seize a gentleman, one by each arm, and after leav-
ing him repeat the same conduct to another. He then said
he should take them into custody, when she made use of a
very disgusting exrression.
Mr. J. Gamlin, of 26, Sherrard-street, saddler, confirmed
the constable's evidence. _ _

As soon as the case was disposed of, a deputation from
the vestry of St. James's, consisting of Mr. Compton, of
Brewer-street ; Mr. Snow, of Sherrard-stroet ; Mr.
Gambier, of Sherrard-street ; Mr. Wildsmith, of Sherrard-
street ; and Mr. Elkington, of Regent-street, waited on
Mr. Bingham, concerning the abominable nuisance of
foreign prostitutes and fellows who live on their prostitu-
tion, assembling about Sherrard-street and the County
Fire-office. _ _ _

In the course of some remarks between Mr Bingham
and the deputation, it was stated that although the nui-
sance was still very great, yet there had been a great im-
provement since the constables of the A division had done
duty there.
Mr. Elkington said he thought if a little more imprison-
ment, instead of fines, was inflicted, it would have a good
effect, as he believed they care little for fines, having a fund
to meet them.

Mr. Bingham said the fact was, the feeling of the coun-
try was against imprisonment. It was the wish of himself
and colleague to keep the streets as decent as possible.
Mr. Elkington said he understood that one of the women
made £2B a week.

Mr. Bingham said, in whatever was done, caution must
be used, that the evil was not made worse.
After some conversation, the deputation thanked his
worship and withdrew.

BREACH OF THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT.—
At the Liverpool police-court, yesterday (Wednesday), John
De Mont, an unlicensed shipping master, was charged with
having shipped several of the crew of the Goveriiment emi-
gration ship Vocalist, bound for Port Natal. It was pruned
that De Mont procured "sailors," and shipped them on
board emigrant ships, principally Australian. Three dif-
ferent charges were sustained, and a penalty of £2O in each
caso was inflicted, or three months'imprisonment, making
a total of £6O, or nine mouths' imprisonment.

centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, kc.,
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the
asdocnudriian?
fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stares
of life, than, perhaps. any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious or having hazarded the health,
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
cure.

of a mediatorial priestly power. I cannot but ear-
nestly trust that the discussions on this subject
which have lately arisen, and even the improper
heat which has been excited, will be overruled by
God to make men more cautious how they trifle
with any of these dangerous weapons, by which
some of our clergy have been disposed of late vainly
to think that they might strengthen themselves
by borrowing from the armoury.of Rome." With.
regard to penal discipline, in case it should be re-
quired, his lordship said :.---" All I can distinctly in-
timate on this public occasion is, that if what I
deem a dangerous systematic invitation and admis-
sion of their people. to confession is endeavoured to
be maintained by any clergyman in this diocese, I
shall feel myself bound to watch his proceedings
very carefully, and shall hold him most deeply re-
sponsible for any evils that ensue; considering care-
fully, in each particular case, what power the law
gives me to correct what is amiss. One thing I
wish to add, that if I have abstained hitherto
from giving any church distinct directions on
this subject, it has been because I have re-
ceived no assurance that my directions are likely-
to be obeyed. Clergymen who seek to intro-
duce this bad system may indeed express a general
readiness to follow my advice as to modes in which
they will carry it into practice, thus endeavouring
to gain for it the aid of my authority. On such
terms lam not likely to give advice. What I do
advise and urge is, that they abstain altogether from
seeking to introduce among their people any sys-
tematic and habitual confession such as I have
described."

elections, of course, the result of the Ballot could
be pretty nearly anticipated.
Again, he notices the famous argument of Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, that the suffrage is a trust ; and it
seems rather to amuse him. lie says in America
they consider it to be a right ; and in the sense in
which it may be -called a public trust—that is, a
trust to fulfil one's duty as conscientiously as pos-
sible on behalf of the public—the whole question
is, how that public trust will be most conscien-
tiously discharged. " The trust is that he shall
exercise his best judgment, and give his voice, as
to the candidate or the measure ; it is not that his
landlord, or tyrant, or tempter, acting for his own
private gain, and having already independently
discharged his own quota of this great trust fund,
shall superadd to his real vote the sham vote of this
his trustee, and perhaps of a hundred others like
him."

Such are some of the principal facts and opinions
furnished us by an evidently very impartial and
intelligent observer of the Ballot, and of open
voting in the States of America. They are quite
original on the part of the writer ; for, as he ob-
serves, the objections alleged in this country are not
heard of there. Indeed, he observes, that were any
one to propose to a State convention to omit the Ballot
from their constitution, it would be looked upon as
a piece of waggery. Our readers may safely
enough dismiss from their minds as irrelevant all
the arguments against the Ballot drawn from
America. The unquestioned success there for the
purposes for which it is wanted, and the fact that
it is Free States which prefer it, Slave states which
dread it, are broad facts, which should tell their
own tale.
