CAT riON TO AGRICULTURISTS.— 

 It being notoriouf that extensive adulterations of this

 U ANTONY GIBBS A*D SONS, AS THE

 Oootider it to be their duty to the Peruvian Government and 

 10 the Public again to recommend Farmers and ail others who 

 to* to be carefully on their jruard. 



The character of the parties from whom they purchase will 

 nf course be the best security, and in addition to particular 

 ait* ion to that point, ANTONY GIBBS and SONS think it 

 well to remind buyers that — 



1%e lowest wholesale price at which sound Peruvian 

 Quano has been sold by them daring the last two years 

 i$ SL os. per ton, less 2J per cent 



Any resales made by dealers at a lower price must therefore 

 either leave a loss to them, or the article musfbe adulterated.

MEETINGS FOR THE TWO FOLLOWING WEEKS. 

 Thuiii»4T, Oct. lf>— Agricultural Itnp.Soc. of I rrland. 

 Thumipay, — 23— Agricultural Itup.8oc.of Ireland. 



P 1 ' 1 fc«fc$ UBOttg nations—the friendship between 

 France and England, for example— which this Exl 

 In Lion has occasioned, has not brought us all a long 

 stage onwards on that journey which is to end in 

 universal peace. 



It is, however, to a more limited or sectional view 

 of this great subject that we would, if we had room, 

 at present guide our reader. We would inquire 

 what standing our agricultural exhibitors obtain 

 among the others in the Crystal Palace ; bow far they 

 have contributed their share to the contents of the 

 Great Museum ? whether agriculturists have rivalled 

 members of the other trades and occupations in that 

 disinterested, laborious, and alaiost self-sacrificin 

 energy, which is certainly the most extraordinary o 

 all the mai . exhibitions there displayed. The 



>wer to sucjfan enquiry is, we fear, humiliating 

 The machinery of our different manufactures is 

 exhibited with tolerably equal energy ; indeed, our 

 agricultural machine-makers have been educated 

 by the English Agricultural Society into such a 

 pitch of active competition, that the machinery of 

 the manufacture of food has been probably exhibited 

 on a larger scale than that of any other : but the 

 exhibition of the products of our different manufac- 

 turers is miserably uneven. Then are weollen 

 goods and linen goods, and silks and calicoes, abun- 

 dantly ; there is hardware in abundance and j rce- 

 lain, and many dozen other manufactures of lees 

 importai.ee are exhibited ; but the products of the 

 food manufacture— the most important of them all 

 —are hardly to be seen. The colonies in this 

 respect have beat the mother-country. It is not of 

 the quality but the quantity exhibited that we speak. 

 Australian Wheat may well be better than that 

 grown in England; we have not got the sunshine of 

 Australia, But that was not a reason why the pro- 

 ducts of our agriculture should not be shown ia 



at least enough to indicate their character 



The Industrial Exhibition has this day closed. 



For nearly half a year a series of illustrated 

 lectures, as it may well be called, has been main- 

 tained in constant and surpassing interest before an 

 audience such, for numbers and for composition — in 

 a buildincr. such for size and structure— as the 



world ha 



size and structure— as 

 never seen. Assemblages such as had 

 rarely met before, except for deadly fight, have joined 

 to receive the lesson of mutual regard and good 

 will. Nations which had hitherto considered one 

 another " natural enemies " have taken , their first 

 step in the nobler rivalry of industry, intelligence, 

 and skill ; and the philanthropy which dictated 

 the whole affair has itself received a mighty impulse, 

 without swallowing up the lesser sentiments of 

 patriotism in the separate sections of the human 



'/nantitu ; 

 and kind. 



On this, however, we must not enlarge at present. 

 Late, and even altogether past the time, as it may 



seem, we shall hereafter notice tn succession such 

 of the agricultural productions of Ibis and other 

 countries as have been shown ; name such speci- 

 mens as deserved particular attention, and do honour 

 to those individuals who have rescued the agricul- 

 tural body from the disgrace of having had no share 

 at all in the great event of the cum nt century. 



Ai.ro 



happy to inform our readers that 'Sir. 

 has caueht an idea. The hon. member 



caught an 

 for East Surrey has discovered a 

 agricultural difficulty, and if he can 

 own way, Wheat m - sink to 90*. without the 

 farmer knowing it. He would not have protection 



panacea 

 but have 



for 

 his 



received. 



CJ ses which 



had hitherto looked somewha 



suspiciously, it may be, and 



unkindly, on one 

 better : they have 



another, now know each other 

 een the common and the distinguishing excellencies 

 which each exhibit. The wealthy have done homage 

 in their hearts to the wondrous skill of the artificer : 

 the labourer has segn how much he can accomplish 

 when employed by the capital of the wealthy : the 

 landlord and his tenantry — the farmer and hi 

 labourers — the manufacturer and the mechanic — the 

 tradesman and his customers — all, for once, have 

 been united in the healthy sentiment of admiration 



of disinterestedness and skill : and all, without 

 exception, have united in grateful admiration of 

 those beside and on the throne, in whom the virtue 

 of this mighty exhibition has originated, and in 

 whom the truest sympathy with its design exists. —

 labours and the honours which each has given and J it in the shape of a 5*. duty, he, Mr. Ai >ck, would 



not u condescend to accept this paltry, trumpery 

 sum." u What man/' shouted the hon. gentleman 

 it Epsom the other day, " would be so base, and 

 shabby, and pitiful, as to accept such a thing, to 

 break through the magnificent principle of free trade.'* 

 '* Do you suppose I should be satisfied to have 

 this humbugging amount of 60i a-year on 400 acres 

 of land ? Not at all, not at all ; I should—/ w< 14 

 have a repeal of the malt-tax ; I say, I would ask 

 for liberty to do what I liked — to grow what I liked 

 on my own land — to grow r Flax, or Beet-root, or 

 Tobacco, as I pleas I myself — and do you think 

 ou should gag me and humbug me w h this non- 

 ense of a St. duty ? Do you think I am ass enough 

 to be humbugged by your 601. a-year ? (A laugh.) 

 No, I would do nothing of the sort afall. I would 

 have this, if 1 can, with your assistance, or rrifhout 

 your ast tance; I will have guano at o7. a-ton, and 

 I'll have liberty to make brandy <* s rit, or what 

 I pleased, of my Barley or my Beet-r t. Who is 

 going to tell me that we are to have free-trade, but 

 you shall not make spirit, or steep Barley, or prow 

 Tobacco ?" Away with your protection, away with 



your duties, your sliding scale, your re-distribution 

 of burthens, your evasion of local burthens ; give me 

 guano at 5/. a ton, and the British lion will defy the 

 world. Guano is the thing, and the only thing for 



our salvation. 



Bravo ! One cheer more for the honourable mem- 

 ber for East Surrey— who will have guano for no- 

 thing, and will do what he likes with his own. Surely 

 we must here have the real mysterious Pall Foskett; 

 at all events Mr. Ai -ck is resolved to Foskettise 

 the Peruvian Government if they won't sell guano 

 in England for the cost of freight and agency. But 

 why does he not call upon the Bank of England 

 to sell him a sovereign for 10*.? What right has the 

 Hank to insist upon 20*, for every one of their gold 

 tokens ? it would be a great relief to the agricultural 

 interest if the Bank would lower the price of ild 

 to (hem by one-half ; and it is a monstrous iniquity 

 that it won't. Such a rascally corporation deserves 



annihilation. 



We wonder that nobody should have asked the 



QuMH — say millions 

 thoroughly her Majesty has entered

seen 



into all tne pleasures oi ner subjects, sympa- 

 thised in all their labours,, enjoyed the witness of 

 their skill; and, " Long live Prince Albert," say 

 all who write for the advancement of the British 

 nation or the general progress of mankind : for, 

 surely, never yet was any single effort made so suc- 

 cessful for the good of both, as that of which his 

 Royal Highness occasioned the beginning, and this 

 day sees the end.
