GUANO.—There has been considerable 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. WlNTERnorrom.—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. Bushe, solicitor, of London, ap-
peared on behalf of Mr. Ford, bill-broker, of London,
who, it appears. holds a bill for £3,000 which he had
discounted for Mr. Winterbottom shortly before he left
England. No charge was gone into, but after come con-
ference between the parties, the prisoner wac remanded
till Monday. This, we understand, is done with a view
to give time for Mr. Winterbottom'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,

EONE 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 sodden change takes place in the appearance of
the fields, and instead of the carnation-!Waved 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
are 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 English Agricul-
tural Sreiety's Journal.

—THE PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES.—We had an op-
portunity afforded us on Tuesday of witnessing the inge-
nious process of 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 solely the result of a determination to protect their
brandy from fraudulent imitations, and from the damag-
ing effects of evaporation. It had been in use but a very
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 manufactory in
bottles, jars, &c. ; as for instance, pickles, preserves,
well as wines and spirits. This has already
chemicals, ' a s
manufacture of the article upon a large scale,
the machinery of which is said to have cost the patentees
some thousands of pounds, The great advantage of the
capsules in ell cases such as we have named is beyond
question. It is manufactured of the celebrated
ttin, whichthe
neckis peculiarly t
lfereoef from
any oxidation,iize,asa and is Banea
toththeebmcooatrtdkleto
e,
which it completely covers. It is fastened capo
in a manner that defies any ingenuity or power to remove
it without destroying it, hence its security against fraud;
'while the contents of the bottle, bearing 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 made is turned out is very cleverly contrived ; the
whole manufacture—even to the extent of imprinting
the name or device on the top—is accomplished by it, in a
continuous series of operations, without the aid of human
inte,r‘ ention ; and upwards of twenty thousand capsules
a-day are thus produced in a perfect gate to be placed on
the bottles. It is well the manufacture is so expeditious,
for there cannot be a doubt of the article soon becoming
one of.gencral indispensable utility.—Shippiqi Gazette
