GUANO.—There has been msiderable increase in the
demand for African, and a further improvement has taken
place in prices ; extensive parcels have been disposed of
on the spot and to arrive at £5 10s. to £6 10s., and noth-
ing is to be purchased now under £5 15s. per ton. The
consumption is likely to be greater than ever, on account
of the low rates that prevail, and this being the best kind
of manure the farmers can use, it will be the cause of
further bringing a large quantity of poor land into cultiva-
tion.—London New Price Current.

Mr. WINTERBOTTOM.—On Friday afternoon, at six
o'clock, the prisoner was brought up in custody at the
Court-house, before Mr. Alderman Baker and P. A.
Marsland, Esq. Mr. Bnshe, solicitor, of London, ap-
peared on behalf ofiV a
r. Ford,bil
bill
fobri bill-broker,
which
hLondon,
who, it appears, holds
discounted for Mr. Winterbottorn shortly before he left
England. No charge was gone into, but after some con-
ference between the parties, the prisoner was remanded
till Monday. This, we understand, is done with a view
to give time for Mr. Wititerbottom's friends to come
forward in his behalf, several of whom, it is said, are
making active exertions for that purpose.—Mrs. Isher-
wood, of Marple, and her daughters, and Capt. Jackson,
late of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, are
should the charge be
summoned to appear as witnesses,
gone into.
iiONFt DUST ON PASTURE LAND.—There is, perhaps,
no county in England where the pasture lands (particular
the poorer soils) have been so much improved during the
last ten or twelve years as in Cheshire ; and this princi-
pally by the application of what is termed bone dust.
This extraordinary manure has a peculiar effect upon the
poor clay land pastures ; for, on the application of boiled
bones, a sudden change takes place in the appearance of
the fields, and instead of the carnation-leaved or pink
grass, which so much abounds on this kind of land, a
luxuriant herbage presents itself, consisting of red and
white clover, trefoil, and other grasses, of which the cattle
arc so fond that they eat up almost everything before
them ; even thistles and rushes are very much eaten off
by the stock after the pastures •have been bone dusted.—
Mr. Palin on Cheshire farming,in the Engli.th Agricul-
tural Srciety's Journal.

THE PATENT METALUC CAPSULES.—We had an op.
portunity afforded us on Tuesday of witnessing the inge-
nious process c-f manufacture of this very useful article,
for which the public are indebted to Messrs. Betts, the
patentees. It appears that the adoption, by these gen-
tlemen,
of the clever contrivance of the Metallic Capsules
was s3lelv the result of a determination to protect their
brandy from fraudulent imitations, and from the damag-
ing effects of eva:nration. It had been in use butavery
short time, however, before other merchants and trades
men were desirous of availing themselves of the applica-
tion of the invention, which desire rapidly extended itself
to persons whose goods issued from the mhnufactory in
bottles, jars, &c. ; as for instance, pickles, preserves,
chemicals, as well as wines and spitits. This has already
led to the manufacture of the article upon a large scale,
the machinery of which is said to have cost the patentees

to fit the neck of a bottle of any size, as a cap' to thecork
which it completely covers. It fastened to the bottle'
in a manner that defies any in •
genuity or power to remove
it without destroying it, hence its security against fraud;
"while the contents of the bottle, hearing the capsule, are
hermetically protected from atmospheric influence. The
cork is also perfectly protected from the ravages of insects
or other causes of decay. Thus is the metallic capsule
alike protective against the unerring operations of nature
and the erring designs of art. The machinery by which
the article is turned out is very cleverly contfived; the
whole manufacture—even to the extent of imprinting.
