A deputation from the Metropolitan Sewage Manure
Company had an interview with the Earl of Lincoln, at
the office of Woods and Forests, on Friday last, and met
with a most favourable reception. This company is
formed to preserve the manure of towns, and render it
available for the purposes of agriculture. Mr. John
Martin, the celebrated painter, is the projector.
A NEW MOTIVE POWER.—A Mr. Talbot has taken
out a patent for a new power, based on the condensation
of carbonic acid gas. By chemical means and great
pressure, the carbonic acid is brought down to a tempera-
ture below the freezing point. Heat is then applied,
when its expansive power, Mr. Talbot avers, exceeds
that of steam, while the great weight of the furnace,
&c., is dispensed with. Time will show.

and awe

The following facts may serve to show the unreasona-
bleness of !he present corn and potato panic :—ln Sep-
tember, 1841, when Sir Robert Peel took office, the Ga-
zette average price of wheat was seventy-two shillings and
twopence per quarter.—ln February, 1832, when be in.
troduced the present corn-law, the Gazette average price
of wheat was sixty-one shillings and four pence.—ln Oc-
tober, 1845, the average price of wheat was fifty-six shil-
lings and twopence-
THE DRUNKARD'S END.—On Friday morning week,
John Bennington, a drunken shoemaker, was found dead
in Walmgate, Bradford, near his own lodgings. On ex-
amination it was found that deceased's shirt collar was
very tight round his neck, so much so that the surgeon
could with difficulty insert his fingers. The jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had been
accidentally strangled, he being at the time in a state-of
intoxication.
TRAGICAL AFFAIR AT HADLEIGH.—On Thursday
morning early the quietude of this town was disturbed by
the report that Mr. John Jaynes, a schoolmaster, had
destroyed himself by firing a bullet through his head.
The tragical occurrence was found too true. The
wretched person, against whom it appears a charge of the
most revolting description existed, had, while in the cus-
tody of the officer, gone into the privy in his garden, and,
having a pistol concealed somewhere on the premises,
shot himself dead on the spot as he stepped over the
threshold.
