and If the chief wheatErowing districts
be selected, IL will be found that the pro-
portion Of nnfavoFable returns is quite as
large, Thus, five out,of six reports from
Lincolnshire, three ont Of five from Nor
folk and Suffolk, and all from the coun-
ties Of Oxford, Gloucsstsfshire, Willis,
Hunts, and Kent; are unfaVorable:" A
great deal of the wheat crop has rotted at
the root before the grain was mature, and
in many districts it has been blighted and
mildewed:. While wheat is TINS attacked
by the disease, and in many districts to q
large extent, the potato disease, which
commenced in ls45. continued with great
yirnlence for. the four subsequent years,
and gradually abated since 1850, has re-
appeared in an aggravated form, not only

Additional lines may also be constructed
in case Of necessity. The guarantee OF
the government does not commence until
the day when the line is in good working

public. Up to that time the. company
Sustains oil the expenses necessary for the
establishment Of the lines and the organ
