tinued to gain on it to the maturity f lb crop,
and resulted i a gain n M par rent, ewer
thnmanurd porun. Which waa ascer
tained by gathering two row aiaMorrd, leas
ing twn, one manured and one uwmanured.
The cora wa measured in the ear only, and
ihe manured row not only metsured more,
but wa hetler hi appearance than that from
the nnmanersd rows.
By calculation it will be aaccruinrd that
the quantity of toA guano and pl .ster appli
ed te Ihe hill, wa bul the one eleventh pari nf
a gill, or one twenty second part of , gill of
eneh. Consequently there being t'iit hills,
(re hy three, in an acre, it will only require
about half a bushel of each guano and plaster
to an acre.
Clmtr. Of the above miiture we spread
five and a half hualtela en one acr of red clo
ser, which was equal Ui a peck each of guano
and plaster, and which resulted in a moat de
cided improvement of ihe crop. W regret
that w did nnt leave a portion tinmaniirrd
that we might have ascertained the (Inference
in the product. Judging from npriearaneea
however, we hare but little doubt that it wa

Mr. Bowles Tripp communicated an elab

on the condition of the working classes in Bris

and upwards nf 40,000 persona; 3,028 houses
were examined ; 656 familie occupied part
of a room l.nly, and 1.24 familie had each
only one room, ihe avrrart nnmber to a fam
ily being 3-J8 souls, thus herding together in
one lout ilea over 7.000 human beings. The
state uf the pr drains, ventilation and supply
of wnier. was generally very bad nr defective.
In I83SI a report upon ihe condition of ihe in

adds the following :
"In nn riiy of ihe Empire ha ihe progress
of vice lieeu so rapid, or ihe demoralization
of the labbring classes been so extensive, as
in Gfassgow. In 1808 five criminals took
their trial at the Spring Assizes: in spring
1828, 1 15 wers indicted, of whom nn Ins
lhan 75 were convicted. The majority of
:''se unhappy persons have received a rood
education and this remarkable increase nf crime
took phce at a limn when the diffusion of
instruction was more general than at any form
er period."
. Thi work of Alison wis written in 1840.
On'page 07, vol. II. , he says, -aerion crime
in Lanarkshire is now advancing at the rale of

words the crime doubles in ahum five-and-i-

in a tiate ol brutal nit xic ilion. It may te
well in tiate here that no one has such good
opportunities for ascertaining Ihe true mndi

he being sherifl of ihe county nf Lanark. I'
a a fact worth noticing in connexion with this
