SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE.—In the st
opinion of most people 'who look upon the scene from a n'
distance, the great noise made of late by the American people g
anent the right of search, has arisen from a desire to per- St,
petuate the slave trade. Their own laws, equally with those St,
of Great Britain, condemn the traffic as piracy, and hold Sl
those engaged in it to be worthy of death. But their attempts
to put an end to it have been a sham; the force they have
maintained upon the coast of Africa is altogetherinsuf-
ficient, and their denial of the right of visit has had the ef-
fect of allowing the trade to be carried on with comparative
impunity. By a telegraphic despatch from Washington, we St,
are glad to see that President Buchanan is about to disprove '
the charge made against his country. It is said that the
British Government has complained of the inefficiency of the St
American squadron upon the African Coast, and that mea-
sures are to be taken to strengthen it immediately. By this
proceeding the American Government will give evidence
of its wish to put an end to the abominable traffic which
some of its own citizens seek to justify. The visit of a
British officer to one of their merchantmen has occasionally
roused the fury of these fire-eating Southrons ; but in our
opinion they will find much greater cause for that feeling
in the fact mentioned in the Washington despatch—that no
less than 25 slave-vessels have recently left the African
coast under the protection of the stars and stripes. In the
course which Mr. Buchanan has taken he will doubtless
meet with the bitter opposition of the slave power. If he
had to deal with a body of men who respected the laws of
morality more than those of a barbarous and unprincipled
" honour," the mere fact that a treaty exists by which the
United States are bound to do their utmost to supprass this
traffic in human beings would be a sufficient answer to
their objections; they would seek a repeal of the engage-
ment rather than an evasion of their obligations. But so
that they gain their ends they care little by what means.--

STEAM PLOUGHING AT IPSWICH.—An interesting
trial took place at the meeting of the Suffolk Agricultural
Society at Ipswich, on Friday, of the steam ploughing appa-
ratus of Mr. J. Fowler, and of the steam cultivator of Mr.
Smith, of Woolston. The engine exhibited by Mr. Fowler
was constructed by Messrs. Ransomes and Sims, of Ipswich,
and is about to be shown at the great meeting of the Royal
Agricultural Society at Warwick. The price of the whole
apparatus (including engine) has now been reduced to £670,
and the work done was certainly very effective, the plough,
Which comprises three shares, turning over the soil in a
pid, regular, and satisfactory manner. The cultivating
aPParatus of Mr. Smith can be set in action by an
ordinary portable agricultural engine, which can be after-
wards applied to other purposes, and the cost of the
cultivator, steel ropes, windless, &C., is about £2lO. The
principled. upon which Mr. Smith proceeds is not that of
or mary Ploughing, but of " smashing up" the soil laterally
and longitudinaaltly so as to expose it to the action of the
elements, and
the same time render weeds easy of re-
moval instead of merely covering them up as in ploughing.
Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, bale brought out Mr. Smith's
apparatus. The subject
siLlif
rrmT.
Allena prominentp, topic of after.ed
dinner discussion, and
many discourageme ana
his opinion that,
sdifficultiesexpressed
been overcome, the %time had at last arrived when the
steam plough had become avail able on farms of large ex-
tent, especially in autumnal cultivation, as it would enable
a large amount of work to be done expeditiously which
could not otherwise be executed without a great number
of horses, whose treading on the soil would, to some ex-
tent, counteract the effect of the tillage.
REMARKABLE PHENOMENA DURING THE STORM.
—A correspondent, writing from Lymington, Hants, says
that during the storm on Saturday, which commenced there
at seven r'clock in the evening, "The heavens were dis-
eharginc, a perfect deluge of ice-bolts —wedges of ice in
every shape and size ; they exceeded three inches round,
and some picked up were as big as oranges some
all Over the some as small
as pullets' eggs. I saw them in white heaps
lawns ; they melted away like snow. In falling they broke
all the windows to the north-west. The windows in every
direction for miles were broken, causing damage and waste
inconceivable ; 170 panes were broken in one dwelling. By
half-past ten p.m. all was calm and still as possible."
