were Wormy, I told him they would have been
less so in case he had limed his ground. He
said, that last year (1702) he limed one part of
his ground, &c Mr Heron, of
Norfolk, assures me, that they dung their turnip
land as much as may be. . . . I had dis-
course with Mr. Pawlet, of Leicestershire, who
deals in' great quantities of turnips ; it was Au-
gust the 7th, 1699. . . . . Mr. Cooper,
of Berkshire, • sowed four acres to turnips last
summer -(Anno 1699), &c. Being in company
with Mr. Gouch, a Norfolk gentleman, we dis-
coursed about the turnip, husbandry of Norfolk."
So much for the cock and bull story of learning
the turnip husbandry in Hanover. The Reviewer
must have confounded turnips with rats. The
Reviewer attaches immense importance to some
cavils, respecting the manner iii which the doc-
trine of rent has been expounded, by what he
calls the Hebrew-Caledonian School. Our li-
mits will not allow us, at present, to enter on
this part of his subject. His views respecting
rent and prices are vague and erroneous in the
extreme. He does not seem to be aware of the
grand distinction bettveen the employment of
capital in the cultivation of a given soil and in
man ufactures—that the former is limited, for
every additional investment of capital, on a defi-
nite extent of soil, does not produce the same
return; whereas manufactnring improvement is
indefinite; and so long as produce can be ob-
Atained in exchange for manufactures elsewhere,
the wealth of the country may continue increas-
ing. . . I-lis notion as to manufactures being
the surplus Of - the agricultural produce of the
country, converted, is true only under a system
of restriction. But we shall resume the sub-
ject.—Morning Chronicle.
The subscription to the Monument of the
late Premier proceeds in such a manner as to ful-
fil the utmost expectations of its most sanguine
advocates The sums, indeed, which many noble
and honourable individuals have contributed,
Were their example followed up by a tithe of the
4dinirers Of Mr. Canning's genius and principles,
would be sufficient to raise a monument, j)efore
which the erection of former days to the memory
of departed greatness would shrink into littleness.
While anxious that the funds egllected should

be correspondent to the high deserts of the de-
ceased, and that the tomb, or pillar, may be such
as will do honour to the Subscribers—to the Me-
tropolis—and to the Empire—we are still more
anxious that they should be derived from the
nation at large. If it were possible to collect
them within a reasonable time, we would prefer
individual subscriptions of a crown to a guinea,
or one guinea to ten. At this moment the noble-
men and gentlemen who signed the invitation to
the public are under certain difficulties; which
must necessarily impede their progress, and until
a general Meeting shall have been held, these
difficulties cannot be removed. They have
no recognised status —they can come to no
fixed resolution nor, indeed, have they any
power to act, --;except in their individual ea-
pacities.- There is another circumstance which
operates as an obstacle few or none of
them are in town. They are scattered over va-
rious parts of the empire at a distance from each
other, which renders mutual communications
sometimes-difficult and in all cases tardy. When
the public meeting shall have been held, which
will be the case at the earliest possible moment
that prudence will admit, certain rules will be
laid down, a regular Committee formed, and steps
for procuring the support of the most distant
quarters of the country, will be effectually taken.
We are happy, indeed to hear, that in various
parts of the Empire numbers have, praiwio motu,
come forward. When the Committee shall have
been constituted. we should recommend that
those individuals should he called on to form

local Committees, for the purpose of aiding the
great object. The Corporations of the great
towns, when the matter is brought properly under
their notice, will, e most proud to show their
sense of departed genius 'and worth, and the
Corporation of the greatest, the most enlightened,
and, with all its faults, the worthiest city in the
world—the City of London—waits but the call,
to stand forward in honourable pre-eminence.—
We look, therefore, to the period when that call
can be legitimately given, not with anxiety, for
we feel none, but certainly with some slight de-
gree of impatience.—New Times.

We consider it a matter of no common charity
to bring our readers now and then acquainted
with the lucubrations of the Old Man of Ken-

sington, for so few now-a-days read what he
pens, that even his good things, when he happens
to have any, drop dead-born ; they are printed,
not published. • This week he is more than
ordinarily rich, and we need not wonder at his
tropes and his vapouring, when we look to the
great occasion. There is, it seems, to be another
Election at Preston. Mr. Stanley has, he says,
got an office under Government, and must vacate
his seat, and Mr. Cobbett must of course fill it.
There is no hope for poor Mr, Stanley. The
cunning rogue, however, lets out one truth which
is not quite so well calculated to promote his
canvass as tirades against the tax-gatherers. He
has no subscription this time, and he will spend
none of his own money. We fear, with his
ragged regiment-at Preston, he will find it to be
"no more pipe no more dance." He ought to
have been more prudent, and to have given a few
promises at least—it would cost him no trouble
to break them. He will not, he says, accept of
any office under Government when he enters
Parliament; he is determined on that. So Mr.
•

Stanley; if he accept of the Under Secretaryship,
has no chance of getting his rival, William, for a
colleague. He is, however, not quite so re-
solved against money. He may be induced to
touch that " in the way of bare, payment of ex-
Fences for loss of time that might be due to him
for services actually and personally rendered to
ad tilethe country." Of a truth, the paulo-post-future
member knows what he is about. By the by,
the poor old man calculates on but one
outpon
Nelnrt.e 'opponent
in his canvass at Preston, but he reckonstrt
, n
with-
out his hOst. is settled that a candidate on
the
gentlemanOppositionwho
s o interest shall
ingeniouslyals foundo a
Canning to be an Atheist has been selected for
that purpose ; and if we are not misinformed, one
half of Cohbett's electors are, in case of a 'poll,
already pledged to support him. Cobbett tells
us, that in 1806 Mr. Wyndham wanted to make
him-an Under Secretary of State, and that, had
he might have been a
he accepted office then,
lord by this time ! Mercy on us ! What a set
of story tellers there are in this world I Why,
the whole town of Kensington, and Knights-
bridge, to boot, not omitting Chelsea, know that
Cobbett turned a Radical in 1806, because Lord
Sidmouth would not make him an exciseman.—
