FORCING AND LIFTING PUMP.

TENliiS PUMP has advantages overary other
4 in use in several particulars. Its action
is such that the water is constantly rushing
forward il. the same direction, without re-
action in the cylinder, whether the piston
rod moves up Or down. by which a great
amount Of power is saved, and more water
plsScd through II cylinder Of the same Ca
plcity than by those whore the water is first
drawn into the cylinder, and then suddenly
reacted and forced out, difference db0Wt as
greet as TINT bet,ccca keeping a wdgon, heariiy
iDaded, in mOii0n mhen Sinrtcd, Gnd stopping 0Md
u.l,!t"g .a,,g 9od. 1t is more simple in its
arr tngolncnt. There are but hco ruires in
the Pump, both Of which are connected with
pistouS. which, together with the valves, may
be easily removed ard repaired by any one
who can turn Il screw or cut u piece of leather
to II given shape; thus il will be seen that We
have Il Double Acting Forcing and Lifting
Pump, with no more machinery or liability to
get out Of order than the Single Acting Lift
ing Pump. Another great advantage Of this
Pump is, that the piStouS arc always under
water, by its popularity Of action, ana no
air cah consequently pass them; it does not
depend on "A stuiiing box to form vacuum
either way for though one i used in the
forcing form i'll this Pump, the pressure is
always outward, and the air can be 10 pos
sunny ~ III, '"' - "'h i"ia' way '' 'o''
motions of the rod, whether the top Of the
cylinder is open or not, it is therefore a
superior Doublc-Acting Lifting as well as
Forcing Pump. All experience has shown
ihc great difficulty of Keeping either stulling
boxes or piStons, which are constantly wear
ing, 50 tight us to prevent the admission of
air, and it is well known that Il leak which
will not let out water enough to injurc the
action Of the Pump, will let in air enough
to destroy it. 1t may, therefore, be laid
down as Il fixed rule that all Pumps, lcpcn-
dent for their action on strtling boxes, or on
pistons or plungers exposed to the air, are,
from this very arrangement, liable to get out
Of order all Of these difficulties are entirely
removed from the one we now have the
pleasure of offering to the public. For sale

ss.ian0 Convention.
\VASUIVGTON 10 ,Junc. 10

WAsHINGToN 10 June, l0P p. Nj.
Mr.. EDiToR:--Thc committee appointed by
the convention of farmers which assembled
at Wilmington, Del. in April last, to collect
information in regard to the present and pro-
bablc supply of guano, met at Washington
Oh the 9th inst. in accordance with notice
from the Chairman, and called on the Prcsi-
dent Of the United States to obtain such in
formation As he was possessed of in regard
thereto. The President gave the committee
much valuable information as to the action of
the Government in the premises, all Of which
was submitted by the chairman to the meet
ing this day. After the acceptance of the
Report Il long debate occurred as TO the best
mode Of obtaining full supply Of guano at Il
fair plicc.
This debate was ended by the appointment
of a committee to wait on the President and
request him not to weary in we'll doing, but
TO use all honorable means to obtain a better
supply by treaty or by the purchase of one
of the Ciincha islands. During the debate
some Of the speakers Enthusiastically took the
side Of the Peruvian dealers.
Here our correspondent refers to letter
of Willoughby Ncwton's, which interesting
part Of his letter is unavoidably deferred till
next week
before INC convention ClOSCu d. l.. Earle
Esq, President of the Maryland Agricultural
Society moved that all farmers present should
give statement Of the present prospect OF
the growing crops in their respective states
and ncighborhoods, and many responded +,
giving most gloomy accounts.
1t is much TO bc regretted that the dele
gates from Cecil were not in attendance, as
business of much more importance to the
American farmer than all the bird dung in
Peru was neglected for the want Of one good
m0n to stick up for their tights. Amongst
that business neglected, first in Importance
was the subject Of the Agricultural Depart
mcnt: and then that Of applying for an APP
preparation of 500, 600 acres of land to each
state for the purposes of Agricultural Schools
Experimental Farms, and all Other matters
that would tend to benefit the condition of
farmers 1t is much to be regretted that
these two important measures were not
brought up. The Delaware members at least
if we may judge from their course in regard
to the Reciprocity Treaty would be in favor
Of the appropriation of the 500 900 acres.

FOREIGN News The steamer getty of
Baltimore" has arrived with English dates to
the 4th inst.
The news of Mr.. Champions dismissal had
not yet reached England but the London
press comment freely on the rumors Of the
probability. The London Times says it may
be expected; but considering how much Eng
land has borne, she may well allow this to
pass over with the rest; but that fortnight
after Mr.. Champion ceases to represent Eng
land at Washington Mr.. Dallas will no longer
exercise his functions at st. james But thee
will be a remarkable difference between the
two cases, Mr.. Dallas having been treated
with all respect, while Mr.. Champion will be
ordered to leave after having endured more
than any English representative III any for
cign court during the present century has
been called upon to submit to. The Times
rctracts its suggestion that we should avoid
all occasion of offence, and wthdraws all alb
stinence from anything which could by any
possibility aegravate this dispute. We must
undergo the indignity Of seeing our, Minister
dismissed from the diplomatic circle of Wash
inston for an offence supported by testimony
on which we should never dream of conyic-
ting the basest Of mankind.
