Dear Sir In compliance win your request to give
my experience with the use Of Flour of Raw Bone,
I have 10 say that used it only on Melons and Tur-
nips and am satisfied that il increased the yield Of
both these crops 10 more than double what theywould
have been without the use Of your Bone Dust. Th
Melons were very fine, and the Turnips are the
largest and finest have ever seen.

tilizer in use for all crops and intend 10 use it lib
orally on my Wheat this fall snd OH my Corn, Cot
ton, &c, next
Hoping you may have abundant success in your
aludabe enterprise am
Very Respectfully,

London, Oct. 25, 1S69.-Nearly all the
metropolitan papers to-day have obituary
notices of the late Earl Derby.
The London Times" in its obituary
article on the late Lord Derby, says =
No one can be a statesman without a
statesmanlike temperament. With this
the Earl of Derby was never endowed.
He was too impuIsivc to resist the temp
tation Of making sallies on enemies both
in and out of season. His sneer at the
italian struggle will be remembered as a
proof of his reckIessness in speaking on
foreign affairs. The Duke of Wellington
bequeathed 10 him his influence in The
House of Lords, but the bequest could
not be executed. The mantle of the
Dukes soldierlike virtues had not des-
cended on his successor. Great as was
his ascendancy among the Conservative
peers he never gained the confidence of
his countrymen.
The London "Tele graph" points to the
fact that Lord Derby employed his latest
breath in public to declaim, with all the
soIemnity of an old man fading from the
world, against a measure of justice and
necessity like the Irish Church bill, and
addssthat this shows how much the age
and the country had gone beyond him.
The London "Standard" predicts that
while the present generation lives Lord
Derby will be remembered throughout
his own province not only as an orator,
scholar and statesman, of whom Lancashire
may we'll be proud but as a magnate,
who in the direct trial, took his place as
leader in the work Of relief and charity,
as the rich man who cared for the sorrows
of the poor and as the great man who re-
spected the pride of the lowIy ; not as
the Premier Of England, but as a kindly
neighbor, generous friend and Christian
gentleman.
The London News speaks of him as
follows:
Lord Derby was not a great statesman,
but he was a great political personality.
He will hold a place in the history of
England not for what he did, still less for
what he failed to do, but for what he
was. He was the last of the barons-the
latest, not the least. He was a perfect
example of the properly aristocratic po-
~litician, with the faults and the virtues,
the dignity and the fidelity of his order.
When he seemed TO desert principle he
did so under the influences of strongly
felt if enormously interpreted obligations
to his sovereign and his political comrades.

Constantinople, Oct. %, 1669.-The
Sultan will embark on the 18th of No

Havana, Oct. 25, 1869.-The decree of
the Constituent Cortes establishing un-
restricted liberty of religion in the colonies
of Cuba and Porto Rico was to day pro-
muIgatcd in this island and has gone into
effect as the law of the land. The docu-
ment is exceedingly liberal in its terms.
1t declares that Spain cannot remain re-
moved from the general movement of
Europe and the world, and adds that this
consideration is the more powerful for
the Antilles, because they lie near o con-
tinent where liberty of religion is recog-
nized by law.
One clause of the decree provides that
no person shall be prevented from holding
Office under the government by reason of
his religious belief.
The decree is received with general sa-
tisfaction by the populace.
As there is now no obstacle, it is pro-
bable that a Protestant church will soon
be established in this city.
Captain General De Rodas is reducing
the number of officials in the government
