Mt. Cupias, Diss, -Sir, -Having been in the habit of tuing "your Constitution Balls" for horses, I find them to be an excellent medicine for horses at hard work, and Particularly for grease, cracked heels, surfeit, hide-bound atd loss of appetite. I tried them on a two year old thorough-bred colt, which is engaged in the Derby and Great St. Ledger, 1846, after trying a great many medi- cines, all of which failed, I succeeded with your Con- stitution Balls," in bringing him into prime condition, < afttr a very obstinate case of surfeit and hide-bound, he i. now fresh as a star, and as fine as a fawn. I wish to consult you, sir, respecting the Constitution Balls as regards giving them to yearlings making up for sale at Doncaster races, which I have been in the habit of doing every year five or six, which are fed to the high- Olt extremity from being two months old, I should feel obliged by you informing me the quantity to be given to each yearling, age from the 24th of January, to the 16th of April, 1844 you will therefore oblige me by dropping line by return of post, on this subject. You are quite at liberty to publish this for the good of the medicine, as I am confident there is nothing equal to tbe Constitution Ilorse Balls. I remain, yours respectfully, JOHN JESSOP.

They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps without cusingthe least pain, rendering the painful operation ot extracting quit? unnecessary. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. They also beg to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as Dractised bv most members ot the profession, to inspect their painless vet eliective system and in order that their improvements may be witliiii the rcach of the most economical, they will con- tune the same moderate charges.

WOM)FIIN-L CURE OF IHlEADFUL UI-CEROUS SORES IN THE FACE AND LEG, IX PKINCK EDWARD ISLAND. The Truth of tltis Statement was dilly attested before a Magistrate. TIIUGH MACDONALD, of Lot ?, in K-msc's L County, do hereby declare that a most wonder 1 preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment; and I furthermore de- clare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcerous Sores in my Face and Leg so severe was my complaint, that the greater part of my nose and the roof of my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three ulcers on it, and that I applied to several Medical gentlemen, who prescribed for me, but I found no relief. My strength was rapidly failing every day and the malady on the in- crease, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so much relief, and found the progress of the. disease was so much arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the field. The sores which were so disagree- able and repulsive to behold are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound to express my gratitude to the person by whose means I have thus been restored from the pitiable and miserable state I was in; and for the sake of humanity make known my case, that others similarly situated might be relieved. (Signed) HUGH MACDONALD. This declaration made before me, at Bay Fortune, the 3d day of September, 1845. JOSEPH COFFIX, Justice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, came personally under my observation and when he first ap- plied to me to get some of the Medicines, I thought his case utterly hopeless, and told him that his malady had got such hold that it was only throwing his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonishment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure. (Signed) WM.

At fast I tried your Ointment and Pills, when, strange to say, in less than two weeks the swelling and inflammation gradually subsided to such a degree that I was enabled to pursue my (laily avoca- tion, to the utter surprise and amazement of those who were acquainted with my ease, seeing that I was cured soquieklv.

"Unquestionably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulatcd for it is quite evident that there arc peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The Engravings that ac- company the work are clear and explanatory and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil conse- quences resulting from early indiscretions."—Magnet. "This work has the advantage over other treatises on the same subject, in being the production of a regularly educated and duty qualified member of the medical pro- fession, who has had very great experience in the treat- ment of a class of infirmities resulting from secret habits and excesses, which, for their treatment, the utmost secrecy, confidence, and skill, is so essentially requisite." -London Journal.

,RESOURCES AGAINST SCARCITY.…
RESOURCES AGAINST SCARCITY. I The following remarks appeared in the Timet of Wednesday last THE PREVAILING SCArCIl-T.-It is stated that the following document has received the approbation, if not of the highest personage of the realm, at least of a large number of the highest ranks in our nobility. A similar voluntary undertaking was very generally adopted under the patronage of Royalty, during the dearth which prevailed at the beginning of the present century. We the undersigned, deeply impressed with the distress which prevails among a great number of our fellow- countrymen in Great Britain and Ireland, from the want of necessary subsistence, and observing that the prices of food are rising, think it our duty to pledge ourselves to reduce in our families, as far as may be practicable, the consumption of bread and flour, and we invite the co- operation of all those who may concur with us in our estimate of the present emergency." In the same paper there is a letter addressed to the editor by Mr. Brownlow Layard, in which the writer adverts to the great amount of corn used in this country for horses merely kept for the purpose of pleasure, and suggests that the prices of provision for the poor might be much lessened by "putting those horses on short allowance of corn, or, indeed, giving them none, as, owing to the excellence of the last hay crops, the only inconvenience that could result would be a slight sacrifice of speed and appearance." Every practical suggestion for economisitig the na- tional stock of food at this afflicting crisis demands our most serious attention, and should be met by all men with a con-cientious determination to give it effect as far as possible. No' ;t is a Agstti "» fact that through. out Great Britain iret 1afi1t a quantity 'of Hour sufficient for the. supply of itmny thousands is every day destroyed, dissipated,, and lost utterly to human use. This is the inevitable result of using yeast in the composition of bread. A portion of the flour becomes deconipose&-in the process of fermentation, and passes off into the atmosphere in the shape of carbonic acid gas. As it escapes it puffs up the tenacious dough, and makes it spongy and light. This is the only end for which yeast is employed in bread-making but the same object can be effected quite as well by other chetuical processes, which do not occasion any loss of substance to the flour. Dr. Dundas Thompson has ascertained by experiments on a large scale that in a sack of flour there is a difference in favour of bread made without yeast to the amount of 30 pounds 13 ounces or, in round numbers, a sack of flour would produce 107 loaves of unfermented bread, and only 100 loaves of fermented bread of the same weight. Hence it appears that in the sack of flour by the common process of baking, 7 loaves or 65 per cent. of the flour are driven into the air and lost. If. then, the bakers throughout the kingdom would forget the use of yeast, and give us unleavened bread (ship biscuit, &c.,) or bread inflated without fermenta- tiun, the flour which now suffices for the day's, week's, or month's consumption of bread of 100 persons, would then be sufficient for the corresponding supply of one hundred and seven persons. Now, taking the popula- tion of England and Wales to be in round numbers six- teen millions, we have the following proportion :-100 107: 16,000,000: 17,120,000. That is to say, the quantity of flour which, made into bread is now con- sumed by the whole population of England and Wales might, without diminishing the present share of any individual, be made to feed in addition thereto no fewer than 1,120,000 persons.-Atlas.
NATIONAL EDUCATION.
NATIONAL EDUCATION. [From the Daily News.] A dictum of Lord Brougham s is now circulated in the clubs it is to the effect that" the people of England believe themselves anxious about education, and really are not so." The inference attempted to be drawn from this sage maxim is, that it would be a safe game to raise a cry against any fair or liberal scheme of edu- cation which might be proposed by the ministry, and thus overthrow the cabinet by an appeal to the passions of the interested and the prejudices of the ignorant. Whether such an inference was intended by his erratic lordship, we presume not to say, but we do know that the inference has been drawn, and that the feasibility of the projects it suggests has been very seriously canvassed. And we further know, that the decreasing minority, which advocated sectarian opposition to national education, have recently had fresh courage infused into their ranks by the whispered probability that Lord Brougham and Vaux will head them in their battle against the principles advocated by the Henry Brougham of olden time. We should deeply lament, but we should not too bitterly resent, sueh a phenomenon sincere grief does not always pass into anger. There is an old Spanish romance which tells of a Christian cavalier who, after having fought gallantly against the Saracens through a glerioug youth and manhood, became a renegade in his old age, and, field i with the Moorish chivalry agaiust his old companions in arms but when he appeared in the fight none of the Christian Knights would raise a weapon against him each contented himself with warding off his feeble blows, and then, saluting him with the lance according to the courteous customs of a tournament, passed on to seek an encounter with a Moorish champion. The lesson was efficacious what reproach, contumely, and reciprocation of injury would have failed to accomplish, was effected by forbearance and courtesy the renegade died a penitent. Leaving the anecdote to find its own anDlication. we retrret that the delav of a system of national e ducation menaces the country with the danger of a sectarian education. It is seriously proposed that the different religious denominations should have separate schools, as they have separate places of worship and the dissenting bodies point to the code of laws adopted by what is termed the National Society as a justification for adopting a similar course themselves. In our own day the true principle on which religious instruction should be combined with secular education, in any national system, has been briefly and admirably stated by the present Bishop of Exeter, in the me- morable words, "No RESTRICTION AND NO COMPUL- SION." To this principle no one, that we know of, has made any objection though too many have cavilled at every possible means by which it could be put into practice. I Where there is a will, there is a way." Wherever there is a will far the carrying into effect the great principle of religious freedom enunciated by the Bishop of Exeter, the way will be found easy and the means abundant; but wherever there are lurking plans for proselytism-wherever there are pharisaic principles of self sufficiency—wherever there is a feeling of bigotry and intolerance, which is, perhaps, not acknowledged even to one's-self, there will be found cavil, and objec- tion, and hair-splitting, and a perverse ingenuity in setting forth the most remote of possibilities as the probabilities that make the nearest approach to moral certainty. "Nature, said the Caliph Othman, when reproaching one of his lieutenants for turning back from the conquest of Khorassan-" nature never placed such high mountains and broad deserts in a warrior's path as reluctance finds there." The aphorism is one of universal application. We regret to find that the delay of a national system of education has led some persons to speculate on the possibility of a separate system, in which each denomination should establish and regulate its own schools. To such a plan there is this insuperable objection, that the principle of separate education involves that of separate social existence. If persons of different religious persuasions cannot be safely trusted together in school, so neither can they in office-in municipal council, at parochial board, or in ordinary market. The separate system is based on exclusiveness; it trains to controversy, and educates to strife instead of a generation brought up to spread peace and good-will to common humanity, and thereby to glorify a common God, we shall be drilling the soldiers of rival camps to fight the battle of sectarianism as fiercely as it was fought in the seventeenth century. There are enthusiasts in all parties who would not shrink from such a consummation, because overweening confidence leads them to anticipate the triumph of their own party. But we firmly believe that there is in all parties a preponderating majority of men of moderate and common sense, who fear that in such a struggle true religion would be the greatest loser, whoever may be the ultimate gainer. When rival theologians," says Quinet, rush into the arena, and call on Reason to preside as judge of the field, they should address her as the gladiators of old did the Roman Emperors Behold, those who are come to die before thee, salute thee."

LOllD LINCOLN ON NATIONAL EDUCATION.—The late government brought forward a measure on the subject in 1842 or 1843. It raised a great opposition, and had at least the beneficial result of giving a great impetus to voluntary exertion the Church of England raised more than £ 100,000. The dissenters also raised a considerable sum. But these are not efforts of a kind to be undertaken periodically. I doubt whe- ther in a lifetime many amongst us will again see two such large sums raised for similar objects. And what has been the result ? I firmly believe that the result of the expenditure of these two large sums of money has been only to make still more apparent the great defi- ciency that exists in the education of the people of this country. Great as these efforts have been, benevo- lent as were their objects, the effect has yet been but as a drop in the ocean Great good, no doubt, has been effected, but ten hundredfold more remains to be done. Do not suppose I underrate individual exertion, or that I should wish to see everything conducted, as in other countries, by the efforts of the government. Quite the reverse I believe there is scope for each. All I mean to nay i-, that I am convinced that individual exertion is not sufficient, and that the state must step in, in order to the suppression of crime, by the most legiti- mate. benignant and enlightened ('(1:11' that of emended education." •—Spee.-h
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.…
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Queen Victoria rises at seven o'clock; enters the nursery at eight, to indulge in a romp with her children, like many a fond mother; at nine the household as- sembles for prayers and after ten o'clock her Majesty prohibits breakfast being served to any one in the palace The Queen Dowager has given £ 1000 to the fund for the relief of the starving Irish and Highlanders. The Earl of Essex, in the Mark Lane Express, states that he has long considered leases as most necessary for both landlord and tenant, and has often declared his readiness to pay an outgoing tenant for all unexhausted improvements. During the past week Sir Robert Peel has directed that the wages of the labourers employed on his estates be augmented from twelve to fifteen shillings' per week. This generous step on the part of the right hon. baronet has, we believe, been taken in consequence of the pre- sent dearness and scarcity of food. The pledges for Mr. Bright at Manchester are between 6000 and 7000 therefore the honourable gentlemen's election is certain. Mr. Miall, who contested Southwark unsuccessfully, is to be a candidate at the general election for Edin- burgh, supported by the Anti-State-Church and Complete Suffrage party. Mr. Cobden has had a banquet given him at Genoa. Mr. Cobden, with his wife, is proceeding immediately to Leghorn and Rome. At the present time England possesses the sovereignty of forty col(mi4l government? On Saturday the eonstfttisney of Chester elected, witho" opposition, Hugh Lupus, Earl Grosvenor, to represent the boytiugh in Parliament, in the room of Lord Robert Grdsvenor, resigned.

A writer in the Chester Courant recommends the translation of a rich college from England into Wales. A Brahmin of high caste, was publicly baptized lately at Berhampore, by the Rev. T. Lessel, of the London mission. A distant relative, Mr. Windham, has left the Duchess of Sutherland, £50,000.-80 gilding refined gold. The Presse states that Lord Palmerston has secretly made offers for the purchase of Egypt after the death of Mehemet Ali There is to be an amateur performance in the Man- chester Theatre in aid of the soup-kitchens in that town. The monster chimney at Wigan, 400 feet high, has fallen across the canal; the accident was not unexpected. A private letter from Paris, dated the 19th instant, I states that it is there rumoured that his holiness is about to address an encyclical letter, calling on all the faithful in Europe to come to the assistance of Ireland.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. The Roman Catholic priests of Cracow have given up their revenues for six months, in order that they may be applied to the relief of the distressed which prevails among the people. Lieut. Colonel the Hon. Percy Evans Freke, of the Grenadier Guards, died at Rome on the 15th of January. We learn from Portsmouth that a brig called the Gipsy was wrecked on the Wolseners shoal on the 24th, loaded with provisions of various sorts for Ireland, from Hull, the cargo having been purchased by the sub- scribers to the fund raised iu that port for the relief of the Irish. About 40,000 men are now employed on the barrage of the Nile. The King of Prussia has conferred the decoration of the Black Eagle on Baron Alexandre de Humboldt. The personal property left by the late Sir C. Morgan of Tredegar, amounts to E 120,000. The building of the Protestant church at Alexandria, Egypt, is at a stand, through want of funds. Lord Howden has been appointed minister to Brazil.

A meeting has been held in Sheffield, to promote the establishment of an Athenaeum in conjunction with the Mechanic's Institute. Above £1000 was subscribed. A large portion of an extensive cotton-mill at Dean- field, near Meigle, has been destroyed by fire. The di- saster will throw one hundred and fifty people out of em- ployment. Mr. Charles Lushington has addressed the electors of Westminster, in the liberal interest, soliciting their sup- port as the successor of Mr. Leader. Mr. Majoribanks, it is said, will retire from the repre- sentation of the borough of Hythe, at the next general election, and Mr. Edward Drake Brockman, of the Paddock, Hythe, is already in the field soliciting the suffrages of the electors. The Birmingham papers mention a report that Mr. William P-eel, oe the part of the Protectionists, has de- termined to oppose his brother, Sir Robert Peel, at the next election and likewise, in the event of his doing so, that Captain Townsend will contest the seat with Captain A'Court (Nousrerrons.J A correspondent of the Daily Netos states that there still remains undispensed more than £10,000 of the fund raised under the authority of the Queen's Letter some years ago, and handed over to the Manufacturer's Relief Committee. The Nuremberg Correspondent says that, in conse- quence of the severe remarks made by foreign papers on the annexation of Cracow, the censorship has given or- ders that tlle TOIIO%Ying papers snail henceforth be stop- ped on the frontiers of Prussia :-The Steele, the Na- tional, the Reforme, and the Cha) ivai-i, French papers, and our excellent contemporary Punch, whose relations with foreign powers do not appear to be promising. The demand on the parochial rates of Liverpool, may be estimated by the fact that the number of Irish poor relieved by the parish officers on the 15th of au- uary, was 13,308 on the 16th, 11,503; on the 18th, 18,053; on the 19th, 19,182 on the 20th, 19,140 on the 21st, 22,640 on the 22nd, 24,330; on the 2,3nl, 22,574 on the 2.5tli, 22,065 and on the 26th, 25,529 making in the whole, from the 15th of January to the 26th, inclusive, 198,324 cases. A singular railway accidcnt to(,L- place a few days since at Orton, Westmoreland. The tail of a pointer og, j which was standing upon the railway, was cut off by a passing train. A quantity of new potatoes, in a perfectly sound state, arrived in London on Saturday, from Lisbon. An association has been formed in London for the I purpose of promoting the formation of libraries for,-tvie use of the workmen employed in the metropolitan ma. nufactories. On Monday, as the express train from Exeter, on the Great Western Railway, was passing a down train at Southall, the tire of the driving wheel flew off in pieces, and striking a second class carriage in the down train broke it to pieces, killing two men and wounding other persons. The annual crop of hay raised in the United States is 15,000,000 tons, of an average value of 1:25,000,000. An American mechanic has invented a brick-making machine which presses bricks by a cylinder, like a print- ing machine, and can turn out 40,000 bricks of the first quality in a day. Mr. Dyce Sombre has petitioned the Court of Chancery to increase his allowance. He says £ 60 per week will not suffice for his comfortable support. Dr. J. Murray, the chemist, deprecates the use of chalk with coals for fuel as highly dangerous, and likely, if adopted, to occasion many deaths, by evolving large quantities of carbonic acid gas. No less than three hundred vessels, laden with corn, were waiting in the Bosphorus, on the 26th ult., for a favourable wind, to take their departure for the Medi- terranean. A few days since, an auctioneer, of Chester, found a hidden treasure of sixty sovereigns and thirty-eight shil- [lings in silver, in some household furniture which had been entrusted to him for sale. The throne of Edward the Confessor, which is made of oak, is 800 years old and one of the oaken corona- tion chairs in Westminster Abbey has been the occupant of its present position 540 years. The name of Hudson's New Town has been given to the extensive factories in connection with the engine and carriage works of the Eastern Counties Hail way Company, near Stratford, Essex, and to the 300 houses and church, for the accommodation of the company's workmen. It is stated in Snowdon's Magistrates' Assistant and Police Officers' Guide," that the money annually given to mendicants cannot be less than jE 1,375,000, being one-third the total amount of poor rates; on an average each begging family obtains £ 55 per annum; and there are 25,000 English begging families, on an average containing six persons in each family. The total number of Ministers in the Weslevaii con- nexion is 1174. According to a writer in the Quarterly Review, out of 2,345 children in 15 ragged schools, 249 had never slept in beds. According to the Roman Catholic Directory there are in Great Britain 622 Catholic churches and chapels, 14 colleges, 8 monasteries, and 818 missionary priests. We learn from a Calcutta paper that a meeting was held on the 3rd ult. in the town hail of that city, to adopt proper measures to commemorate the talents, charities, and fine qualities of the late Baboo Dwarka- nath Tasjore, when it was resolved that a Dwarkanath Tagore Endowment be created, to procure for the native youths of India, at the University College of London, the benefit of European education, either general or pro- fessional. Letters from Rome of the 14th instant state that the Pope preached a sei-iiiori on the preceding day in the church of St. Andrea della Valle, which had produced the deepest emotion on the auditory.

In the Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday, the time for the surrender of Mr. Donald Maclean, M.P., as a bankrupt, was enlarged to the 27th of May, on account of his ill health. Mr. Maclean is still in Lucca. Numerous petitions, praying the Legislature to placft a restriction upon the indiscriminnte sale of prussic acid, arsenic, and other deadly poisons, the easy obtaiu- ment of which is the frequent cause of suicide and mur- der, are lying for signature in different parts of the metropolis. At a meeting of the magistracy of Liverpool on Wed- nesday a petition to Parliament was adopted, praying that measures might be taken to alleviate, and in future prevent, the burden now peculiarly cast upon Liverpool by the extensive immigration of Irish paupers. A discovery is stated to have been mlade at Charlot- tenburg, by which marble may be cast in moulds of any size, the marble being equal in quality to the purest Carrara marble. A salutary blow has been struck at duelling in Mississippi, by a case of enforcement of a law of the State, which requires that the survivor shall be respon- sible for the debts of the man he kills in a duel. The Corporation of London have bought the old Fleet Prison for £ 25,000. The tenders af private parties made for the purchase varied from £ Sf,000 to £ 18,000. The contributions in London for the Relief Gornmia. t tee amount to E87,300, and amongst the recent con- tributions is EI,000 from the Grocers' Company.

A letter from Liverpool, dated Tuesday evening, says, our import from America continues very great; one ship, the Rappahannock, has to day brought ten thousand barrels of flour, the largest quantity ever imported into Europe in one vessel. In addition to this she ha* brought 1,500 barrels of Indian meal, and other pro- visions. Another ship, the Republic, has brought 8,000 barrels of flour and 8,000 bushels of wheat another, the Cornelia, has 4,500 barrels of flour and another, the Empire, has 5,000 barrels of flour and 14,000 bushelis of wheat.

The John o'Groat Journal announces the death, at Isauld, of Henry Elder, at the advanced age of 104. He was never known to taste medicine in his life time. He took snuff freely, as well as an occasional dram of High- land whiskey, till a short time previous to his demise. His memory failed some years ago, except regarding things which happened more than half a century since, which-he would relate with great accuracy till a few days previous to his death. The walls of Nineveh were 100 feet high, and thick enough for three chariots abreast. Babylon was 60 miles within the walls, which were 76 feet thick, and 300 feet high.

SCOTLAND.—The distress in the Highlands is still most severe. In Dingwall some families are so destitute of fuel as to be obliged to eat their vegetables raw. while others, rather than be reduced to such straits, convert household furniture into firewood. In the midst of such details it is gratifying to record instances of generous beneficence. Mr. Matheson, of Acharny and Lewes, has not only undertaken the entire snpport of the poor on his extensive estates, but allows a steamer to be sent gratuitously with provisions to other portions of the Highlands. The Edinburgh subscrip- tions for the Highland destitution, amount to upwards of £20,000; those in Glasgow to about £ 10,000. On the subject of the destitution in the Islands of Scotland, Mr. Arthur Anderson, of London, has written to the head magistrate of Berwick to say that having observed that the application from the heritors of Zetland to the treasury for a grant to make roads had not been acceded to, he was prepared to make an outlay to the extent of E3,000, if required, in such a manner as will best stimulate the fishermen to active steady exertion (in the prosecution of the winter and spring fisheries particularly cud fishing), and secure to them the most liberal remu- neration that the market will afford for the produce of their labour." The city of Aberdeen has beeu threatened with disturbances, owing to the distress that is beginning to be felt there, elsewhere, from the high prices of food. A meeting of at least a thousand poor persons took place outside the town, which was preceded by gatherings of crowds in the streets, yelling and creating great alarm, not a little aggravated by the appearance of a black flag borne before them. A depu- tation, however, having been sent from the meeting to the Provost and magistrates, those authorities feelingly manifested so mnch sympathy with the case of the suffering people, and immediately adopted such conside- rate measures for their relief, that quiet was restored.

He then went out, and another son, a boy about ten years of age, in the absence of his mother, having taken down the gun and placed another cap upon it, on his mother's return said, '• Mother, I am going to pop the candle out," and immediately fired. The whole of the charge lodged in the body of his un- fortunate parent, just below the breast; she uttered one moan and died, leaving eight orphan children.— Somerset Cuwdy Gazette. How TO EMPLOY THE INSANE.—The ninth annual report of the Suffolk Lunatic Asylum, just published, says- We have been able this year, from the retention of the lands, and the addition of the farm and buildings, to carry out the employment of the patients to a much. greater extent than we have ever done before. We have found in these a source of untiring occupation to several who were almost unemployed. The cows which. were purchased in May last are very carefully tended by three patients, whose only ambition seems to be, to prove that their healthy condition and cleanly appearance i* their exclusive woi k. The cowherd, whose interests seem to be chiefly identified with them, was formerly one of our most dangerous men. He used to walk about the galleries in a sullen manner, with discomfort to him- self, and hazard, from quarrelling, to those about him. He is now early in the morning, and late in the evening, with these objects of his solicitude, and though still an incurabl e patient, is most decidedly a happy man. The employment of the year with the patients generally, was commenced by painting they finished very nicely all the bedsteads in the building, and as the weather was open and fine, they were constantly engaged both in inside and outside work till the month of March, when they began spade husbandry. There is now about six acres of arable or more properly, spade land the rest is pasturage, of about. 18 acres, which they also cultivate in all its necessary requirements. The quantity of land dug and cropped at this season was about four acres, which joined to the heavy work of levelling and planting the pit in the front of the house, fully occupied their time till the hay season, when they cut down about 18 acres of grass, and stacked ten tons of hay. It was a sight of no ordinary or common interest, to see thirty-six in. sane men at work with the most orderly regularity in the hayfield. In this labour there was profit, and our farming accounts not only present a respectable balance sheet, but show that we are in possession of (what is of no small moment in these theorising days) the energies and exertions of practical men." REPEAL BTLL.—At the last repeal meeting the chairman, Mr. Soiners, M.P., expressed a hope that "the prophecy which had been addressed by Dryden to the ancestor of the nobleman who presided on the previous Thursday would be fulfilled. He forgot the prophecy, but they all remembered it as well as he did SIR WALTER SCOTT AND HIS GRANDMOTHUK. — It was Sir Walter Scott, we believe, who was thus driven to extricate himself fi-oni a similar dileiiiiia, when, on being askpd how he accounted for some strange tale he had related, on no less authority than that of his owu grandmother, he was forced to reply, after some delibe- ration, "Aiblinsmygrandmitherwas an uwfl" leear." -Th.e Ingoldsby Legends.
