With so spirited an owner as Mr. Rogers, and so skilful a skipper as Barr, it may be put down as a fact that the new 46-footer will be sailed for all that is to her.

We should be gird to know that the letter addressed to us on the above subject last week received the attention it deserved. We quite agree with "Merchant," that some paited action ought to be taken to try and persuade the. Chinese to use manare. It is quite as much for their own interest as for curs. We cannot force them, it is true, but we can advise them, and, at least, point out the benefit they would derive, if they would only follow our advice. Our own small Individual efforts, like those of the firm holding a stack of manure, met with no success; but Chinese prejudices to other ways have been overcome by the perseverance of Europeans, and we see DG TEASON why this should not be mastered.

They have takes all the nourishment out of the soll, and there is nothing left for them to thrive on. "Merchant makes the very pertinent remark that it is strange that a people, whose farmers and market gardeners have long discovered and apprehure, the beneficial results of the use of manure, should expect tea to flourish in soil that is never renovated. We can quite understand that natural manure could not be procured in the tea districts in sufficient,quantity, and it is probable that the growers have never yet heard of chemical fertilizers or guano, No doubt, it was

this latter consideration that prompted "Mer chant" to suggest that they should be en- lightened by body of Europeans, whose words would carry weight, such as the Chamber of Commerce. "Merchant" does not propose that any coercion should be used; he merely suggests that the leading hong men should be invited to talk the matter" over with`ur seriously. Let them know how the trade may ret be saved. If they decline to move in the matter, it cannot be helped; but we shall, at any rate, have the satisfaction of knowing that we have done something, instead of nothing,
