You could not just say, "We owe all this to my honourable friend,' Mr. COBBETT." There were some things that you could not know, and that I will now tell my readers; namely, that, when I fed to America from the dungeons of CASTLEREAGH and SIDMOUTH, I had in my barns and stacks in Hampshire, the produce of rather more than seventy acres of wheat, raised in single rows at four feet apart; and that the produce was thirty-one loads of wheat, forty bushels to 'the load; that I left also fifty-two acres of transplanted Swedish turnips also in rows at four feet apart; and that, at this moment, my men have just sowed (I hope) twenty-five acres of wheat in the same manner. In short, I have no crop, and will have no crop, not cultivated in this manner. Just before the Parliament was prorogued, a gentleman asked me what books on agriculture he ought to have. I told him to get TULL'S HUSBANDRY, with my introduction, for that I myself knew nothing of the science of husbandry, until I read that book. He got it the next day; and, if he have read it carefully, though he was bred a lawyer, he is more fit for a farmer than any man that never read that book. Now, Mr. Benett, how very weak it is to refrain from doing justice, in a case where it is so manifestly due. There was not a man that heard you that did not know that a knowledge of this system was ascribable to me. You could not deprive me of any part of the honour attending the introduction of this system; but you could deprive yourself of that praise for manliness and impartiality and magnanimity, which From the LONDON GAZETTE, BANKRUPTS.

Jones PY POLICE.-The following subscription | Mr. Woodford has been made for Mr. WILLIAM DEAN, who drew up the petition, presented against Popay, by Mr. Cobbett, and who, without a hearing, was dismissed from the Police, by the Commissioners, RowAN and MAYNE, for having expressed his disapprobation of the brutal conduct of the police at Calthorpe-street, and for having expressed his approbation of the verdiet of the Calthorpe street jury. The subscription was begun at the dinner, given to Mr. Cobbett, at Walworth, by the petitioners; and it was intrusted to the hands of Mr. SWAIN, tailor in Fleet street, who, it will be long remembered by every friend of humanity and justice, to k such infinite pains to provide a legal defence for FURSEY, whose life was in imminent peril, and who, it will be remembered, was the man who first detected and denounced the Spy-Popay. Every one knows how great is the overstock of persons who have been educated for other things than mechanical labour. Mr. DEAN is one of those persons; and, as he has, in fact, been brought into great distress, along with his family, in consequence of the assistance which he has given in the demolishing of this horrible system, it is hoped that this subscription will be enlarged; and, with that hope, Mr. COBBETT has kindly offered to receive subscrip H.
