FARMER'S CALENDAR FOR MARCH.…
FARMER'S CALENDAR FOR MARCH. i During this month carrots and parsnips are generally sown on the light lands of Norfolk. These valuable crops would be much more extensively cultivated, if only some labour was prev iously bestowed in deepening the soil, by either the fork or the subsoil plough. This is a good time to top-dress wheat either soot, ashes, lime, or salt and lime. The farmer will find, in using soot, that its powerful effect is materially increased by adding to it from eight to ten bushels of salt. The mixture of these enrichers, at the rate of from ten to fifteen bushels of each per acre, trenched, or deeply ploughed in, is one of the most powerful of all manures for carrots. The nutritive matters of the carrot are very considerable, 1000 parts containing 98 of nutritive matter the same proportion of parsnips contain 99 parts, the Swedish turnips 64, the common turnip only 42 parts. The Flemish farmers sow carrots with their spring corn. It is a good practice to facilitate the ve- getation of the carrot-seed by steeping it in water, and still better to add to the steep 1 lb. of saltpetre to every six quarts of water. We feel convinced that the culti- vation of carrots on many soils might be very profitably extended. This is, generally speaking, the best month for the construction of land drains for the earth is drying, and the moist stains indicate the places where the springs rise, or the surface waters draw the most. The days too are now of such a length that the labourer can see to work from six till six o'clock. If any beans, peas, or winter vetches remain unsown, this is the latest period when the work can be success: fully accomplished. Oats, barley, flax, and hemp-seeds should be sown this month, and clover and other grass seeds with the spring corn, or amongst wheat. In all cases, we should ad vise the farmer to use a steep of some kind for the seed, a weak solution of saltpetre (or nitrate of soda for barley) or common salt and these may be rolled in lime to dry them sufficiently for the drill. For the smaller grass seeds, the solution should be weaker, and be dried with gypsum powder. These solutions, however, are too commonly made too strong, and the seeds steeped in them too long. On all those soils which are said to be 'tired of clover, or clover sick, we would earnestly recommend deeper ploughing, and the application of gypsum, at the rate of l1 to 2 cwts per acre with the seed it answers admi- rably on most soils, especially on those where the sul- phate of lime does not exist naturally. Many easy observations will indicate to the farmer the probable success of gypsum. If common coal or peat ashes, when spread oil his clover, or sainfoin, or lucerne, promotes their growth, then he may securely apply gypsum, for the ashes owe their chief enriching properties to the presence of gypsum, which is certainly the cheapest of all manures. Nitrate of soda may also be applied either as a steep for barley (for barley contains a small propor- tion of this salt) or it may be sown at the rate of 11 cwl. per acre, as soon as the spring corn nialies its ap- pearance above the ground. If saltpetre is used, 1 CIVt. per acre is suiffcient. Both these salts do best on light dry soils, such as sands, gravels, chalks, or light loams. Sow lucerne towards the end of the month. Pick off the stones from young seeds. You may now prepare your potato ground, and plant towards the end of this month. This root delights in fresh soils, such as old pastures or stack-yards. In Cheshire they carry, in the autumn, for a mile or two, and spread on their potato fields, the salt mud of the shores of the Mersey, at the rate of 20 or 30 cubic yards per acre. If you cannot get this or sea-weed s (dug in as fresh as possible), use ditch-scrapings, pond-mud, or weed-heaps, with which, a month previous to using it, mix a bushel of common salt (the refuse of bacon is excellent) with each cubic yard. We have found on the gravelly soils of Essex no dressing superior to this for potatoes. Plant hops. Alders are now cut. Water meadows may be fed the first time. This is a good period to destroy molest Top-dress young wheats. Urate, soot, malt-combs, lime, and salt and lime, are all powerful manures for this purpose. Look steadily to your ewes provide them warm, dry sheltering places; give them your best turnips or carrots, mangel wurzel, and hay regard also their cleanliness. The same remarks apply to all breeding animals-to cows and to mares. Pre- pare pork for summer use. Kill the bacon hogs before the weather gets warm. This and August are the best months for sows to, farrow. Attend to your poultry cleanse and lime-wash their houses; let their boxes be often replenished with hay or straw. Never set them with their own eggs for stock birds procure these from a distance. The advantages of an incessant change of stock is a secret little understood by housewives.

TRY EltE YOU DESPAIR. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. CURE OF ASTHMA. Extract of a Letter from Mr. Benj. Machie, a respectable Quaker, dated Creenayh, near Loughal, Ireland, dated Sel)te?iiber Iltli, 1848. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. RESPECTED FRIEND,—Thy excellent Pills have effec- tually cured me of an Asthma, which afflicted me for three years to such an extent, that I was obliged to walk my room at night for air, afraid of being suffocated if I went to bed by cough and phlegm. Besides taking the Pills, I rubbed plenty of thy Ointment into my chest night and morning. (Signed) BEXJAMIN MACKIE. Citre oj TvJ nhus Fever, when supposed to be at the Point of Death. A respectable female in the neighbourhood of Loug- hal, was attacked with Typhus Fever, and lay for five days without having tasted any description of food. bhe was given over by the Surgeon, and preparations were made for her demise. Mr. Benjamin Mackie, the Quaker, whose case is referred to above, heard of the circumstance, and knowing the immense benefit that he himself had derived from Holloway's Pills, recommended an imme- diate trial, and eight were given to her, and the same number was continued night and morning for three days, and in a very short time she was completely cured. .N.B.-Frorn advice just received, it appears that Col. Dear, who is with his Regiment in India, the lst Fusileers, cured himself of a very bad attack of Fever by these celebrated Pills. There is no doubt that any Fever, however malignant, may be cured by taking night and morning, copious doses of this fine medicine The patient should be induced to drink plentifully of warm linseed tea or barley water.

SIR,-My Shepherd for some time was afflicted with water on the chest, when I heard of it, I immediately advised him to try your Pills, which he did, and was per- fectly cured, and is now as well as ever he was in his life. As I myself received so astonishing a cure last year from your Pills and Ointment, it has ever since been my most earnest endeavour to make known their excellent qualities. (Signed) J. S. MuxDY. The Earl of Aldborough cured of a Liver and Stomach Complaint. Extract of a Letter from His Lordship, dnted Villa Messina, Leghorn, -1st Feb., 184o. To PROFESSOR HorxowAY. Siit.- V arious circumstances prevented the possibility of mythanking you before this time for your politeness in sending me your Pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of sending you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in mv Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect; nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish to have another box and a pot of the ointment, in case any of my family should ever require either. Your most obliged and obedient servant, (Signed) ALDBOROUGH. Cure of a Debilitated Constitution. Mr. Mate, a Storekeeper, of Gundagai, New South Wales, had been for some time in a most delicate state of health, his constitution was so debilitated that his death was shortly looked upon by himself and friends as cer- tain but as a forlorn hope, he was induced to try Hol- loway's Pills, which had an immediate and surprising effect upon his system, and the result was to restore him in a few weeks to perfect health and strength, to the surprise of all who knew him. lie considered his case so extraordinary that he, in gratitude, sent it for publi- cation, to the Sydney Morning Ilcrald, in which paper it appeared on the 2nd January, 1848. A few doses of the Pills will quickly rally the energies of both body and mind, when other medicines have failed.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. AN Additional and Important Evidence of the Salu- -k tary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMA- TIC PILLS, from Mr. Thomas Yate. ".5, Albion Road, Stoke Newington Green, 6th February, 1S47 SIR,—With much pleasure I acquaint you with the benefit that I have derived by taking Blair's Pills. On my journey five weeks since, while at Chepstow, I had distressing symptoms of an attack of Gout in one foot, and with the utmost difficulty reached Bristol. By this time the disease had so much increased that I could not place my foot on the floor, the swelling being ex- tensive and the pain excruciating. Having often heard of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I immediately sent to Messrs. Ferris and Score, Chemists, Bristol, for a box, which when I had taken, the pain had wholly sub- sided. I continued the pills until I had taken two-and- a-half boxes more, when to my gratification I was per- fectly restored to health, and able to resume my journey. "I respectfully assure you that I shall recommend this valuable medicine to the fullest extent in my power, and never when travelling shall I in future be without it. During my illness my residence was at Mrs. Slocombe's, Greyhound Inn, Broadmead, Bristol, whose family, if requisite, will confirm the facts I have stated. I forward my case to you for publication, that the afflicted may be assured of and obtain relief. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "THOMAS YATES, Traveller to Messrs. Day and Martin, 97, High Ilolborn, London." To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London. The efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills is now universally acknowledged, and for the class of diseases known as Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Scia- tica, Tic Doloreux, and all analogous complaints, com- plaintt, comment is unnecessary. The continued series of testimonials, of such indisputable authority as the above, renders this one the most popular medicine of the present age. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London.

jTHE WAR IN INDIA.
THE WAR IN INDIA. STORMING AND FALL OF MOOLTAN. INI)IA.-Ad,ices received in anticipation of the/Over- land Mail show that the town of Mooltan had been cap- tured by the British troops, although the citadel, at one angle of the town, still held out in possession of Mool- raj its speedy fall, however, seemed certain. It must soon have been made untenable under the fire of 150 pieces of artillery or, if this proved ineffectual, it was to have been mined. Operations began on the 27th December. The suburbs were carried by the bayonet, and the town captured by bombardment, breach, and Storm. That few were killed on our part, while there was great loss to the Sikhs and the complete possession of the town within a week speak fully as to the cha- racter of the operations. The tactics of the final as- sault do not appear to have materially differed from Gen. Whish's first plan, except that the Bombay force took the position previously occupied by Edwardes, Lake, and Cortland and on this occasion Edwardes merely manoeuvred with his troops to distract the enemy's at- tention. The town was surrounded on all sides, and attacked, in the first instance on the 27th Dec., without regular approaches, while an incessant cannonade of shot, shell, and rockets was kept up to damage the de- fences and to awe the besieged. The suburbs were at- tacked at two different points, where high mounds in the neighbourhood of massive buildings had afforded to the Sikhs strong positions. They were driven in and routed, our troops advancing in lines with the bayonet, and under a loss on our part of about 100 killed and wounded. Heavy batteries were then erected at those mounds, which were at about 300 yards' distance from the walls. The enemy's fire at this time is described to have been well and long sustained, but ultimately slackened, in consequence of several explosions of his service magazines, probably caused by our shells. Day- break of the 29th opened from the British lines with a heavy fire of musketry, and the simultaneous discharge of the mortar guns, after which the other heavy artillery and howitzers pushed to within 80 yards of the walls. The enemy's fire then nearly ceased, while our own continued incessant, and evidently with great effect. Our batteries then began to breach. Next day a large magazine exploded in the town under our fire, and a conflagration of grain stacks succeeded. All this, how- ever, did not appear to daunt the courage of the Sikhs, now in the close vicinity of the British troops, for the fire of their matchlocks increased and became more ef- fective. At length, after an incessant roar of cannon and rattle of musketry for about 50 hours, the close at- tack was commenced by the advance of two columns from the Bombay army, while the Bengal force moved forward on the other side. The gate selected for the attack of the Bengal force was, on the arri val of that column, found not to have been made practicable, and to present besides an open drop in front, with strong defences in the rear. But meanwhile the Bombay co- lum had successfully effected its entrance, and the first colours were planted in Mooltan by the sergeant-major of the Company's Fusileers. This occurred about three in the afternoon of the 2nd Jan. The Bengal column after having been obliged momentarily to retire, quickly followed in the step of their comrades, and the town appeared to have been ten minutes afterwards in our possession, although it was not until near sunset that all our troops had entered. Considerable bodies of the Sikhs were seen in the dusk emerging upon the plain in the direction, it is said, of Sirdarpore; but, although the cavalry did their best to scour the country through- out the night, little could be effected, except in the cap- ture of small parties, in consequence of thickly inter- secting mullahs, or watercourses. 14 guns, and 25 ele- phants, many horses, and a vast supply of grain were found in the town, and the other booty, in the nature of property, is said to be of considerable value.—From the Bombay Telegraph we give the following account of- THE EXPLOSION. I One of the grandest and most awful occurrences of the siege now took place-the blowing up of the princi- pal magazine in the Fort of Mooltan. The explosion is said to have been so terrific-and the general effect, from the fall of rubbish, boughs of trees, &c., so start- ling-that at first it was thought the place had been visitp.d by an earthquake. For a short time, the huge column of dust which was thrown up, some 200 yards in height, rendered the Fort and surrounding objects invisible there was consequently a brief pause in the firing but as soon as the smoke and dust cleared away the fire was resumed, as hotly as ever. The artillery- man who levelled the mortar that produced the explo- sion, was at once presented by General Whish with three gold mohurs, and an additional sum of five gold mohurs was also given to the company he belonged to. It is said some of the Moolraj's family, with many other persons, were hurled into the air' at the time the ma- gazine exploded also that the Dewan himself received a wound. This last report, however, does not seem to have been true. OWr guns were now directed to the supposed position of Moolraj's remaining magazines, but without avail, as no further explosions took place. It became evident that great devastation had been caused by our incessant fire as broken masses of masonry, heaps of brick work, and crumbling walls, could be seen by looking through a telescope, while the principal bastions appeared riddled by our 241b. shot." MOOLTAN, 3RD JAN. 3 P.m. Accordin-, to plan and intention, the City of Mooltan was taken by storm yesterday about half-past 3 p.m. Our troops, both European and Natives, Bengal and Bombay, behaved most gallantly, carrying everything before them at the point of the bayonet, under a most galling fire of mus- ketry and cannon from the Sikhs, who had ensconced themselves in the rear of the branches. Our loss, as far as yet ascertained-is comparatively small-far less than what was apprehended it would be that of the enemy is said to be immense, and the streets are re- ported to be literally choked with the killed the greater portion of these must have been destroyed by our shell, shrapnell, &c., that were thrown into the city from the commencement of the attack.—Correspondent of the Bombay Telegraph. PILLAGE. BANKERS' OFFER. Loot was abundant yesterday; horses, mules, and other cattle being the principal sort of plunder. This, however, has been put a stop to by the general, who has directed the imprisonment of any one seen pillaging. I heard have that certain Sowcars of the city came in a body to our officers, and offered three lacs of rupees if we would prevent the spoliation of their property. This, of course, would, under any circumstances, be guarded against. Mooltan Correspondent (Jan. 3) of Delhi. Gazette. INVASION OF SCINDE BY THE AFFGHANS. Bombay Telegraph and Courier Office, Jan. 19. Official information has been received of the advance against the Scinde frontier of 12,000 Affghans, with fourteen guns, under Dost Mahomed's nephew, and one of the Candah-ar chiefs. They are said to have already traversed the Khojuck Pass, and to be now marching on Shikarpore! We know not how they will get through the Bolan, which, at this time of the year, is covered with suow. An extra council sits to-day, doubtless to consider the necessity of fresh reinforce- ments being sent to Scinde.
I A MAN FROM CALIFORNIA.
I A MAN FROM CALIFORNIA. Marble was in Boston the other day, and strolling along the wharves, when he met with a tall, gaunt looking figure, whose sun-burnt countenance, and tat- tered parti-coloured garments, originally of the most outlandish fashion, had that picturesqueness about them derived only from long continued exposure to the at- mosphere, which fancy sketchers delight to present on canvass. Dan, who never permits the lack of an introduction to interfere when he desires to form an acquaintance, hailed the stranger-" Hallo! my friend where are you from ?" Jes' from Calerforney, stranger." Ah, indeed and you can tell us then whether it's all true about that gold somewhat anxiously inter- rogated Dan in reply. t. Trew as you live !-and a darned sight more-for no man out of Calerforney really does live." U Then why did you come back ?" "Back?—why to get my family. Fact is, stranger, a man there gets so powerful rich that he bpcomes covetous of himself-and ef he aint very kearful, will cut his own throat to rob himself.—The root of all evil, you know—there's a leetle too much of it, and I left for a while—partly on that account." Oh, you did eh ?" yes-arid between you and me—that's the only way a man can die in that blessed land." Healthy climate. I suppose ?" Healthy !-it aint anything else. Why, stranger, you can choose there any climate you like-hot or cold —and that without travellin' more than fifteen minutes. Jest think o' that the next cold mornin, when you git out o' bed. There's a mountain there—the Sawyer Navaday, they call it—with a valley on each side of it- the one hot and the t other cold. Weil git on top of that mountain with a doubie-barrelled gun, and you can without movrin', kill either summer or winter game, jest as you will." What! have you tried it ?" Tried it! often and should have done prtty well, but for oie thing." j' Well, what was that ?" I wanted a dog that would stand both climates The last dog I had fioze off his tail while pintin, on the summer side. He didn't get entirely out of the winter side, you see. frew as yon live f" Marble sloped.—Albiiny Argus, C.S.
\ MONTHLY MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL…
MONTHLY MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. The monthly meeting of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association was held in the Concert Hall on Wednes- day evening. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather the attendance was very large, and the proceedins, Ivh ich were full of hope and enthusiasm, lasted till a late hour. Mr. Charles Holland was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting in a vigorous speech, in which he attacked the defence of our ex- penditure recently put forth in the Economist. He should be curious to see whether any of our one hun- dred and seventy-five admirals would follow the ex- ample of General Sir W, Napier, and rush into print to attack their Tract on the Navy Estimates. He next referred to the injustice inflicted on the public by in- direct taxation. He should also like to know why this I country could not be governed equally cheap as the United States. The Secretary then read the Report; from which it appeared that the society is receiving daily accessions of members from all quarters, consisting of members of parliament, clergymen, learned professors, merchants, and tradesmen, of all grades and political opinions. No fewer than six auxiliary associations had been established in the metropolis. Societies had been also formed at those closely-guarded seats of learning, Ox- ford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen, where it was hardly thought possible their principles could gain admission so early. Branch associations also had been formed, or were in process of formation, at Paisley, Leith, Plymouth, Worcester, Norwich, Ipswich, Derby, Wrexham, Great Yarmouth, Cirencester, Bath, Rich- mond, in Yorkshire, the remote island of Orkney, and other localities. The fame and influence of the Asso- ciation had, however, not been confined to these islands, but had been wafted across the Atlantic, and found sym- pathy in our American Colonies. From Montreal and from New Brunswick it had been favoured with friendly communications and subscriptions. Mr. II. K. Claypole referred to the enormous cost that had been entailed on the country during the late wars, which at last had grown into the insupportable burden of the National Debt. He repelled the insinua- tion that they were desirous to repudiate the debt they were anxious to reduce it, and, if possible, to pay off the whole amount. Having largely described the evils of indirect taxation, he expressed his belief that an equitable system of direct taxation would benefit all classes of the community. Mr. Macrae directed the attention of the meeting to the encouragement which they had received from the reductions proposed by the Government, the irony of Disraeli, and the fright of Lord Brougham. But he held in his hand another and a very gratifying en- couragement which had been unexpectedly handed up to the gentlemen on the platform. It was an address, signed by 200 working men, and even by some of her Majesty's servants, and which heartily rejoiced in their prosperity. Mr. F. Boult, in a speech of great wit and humour, commented on the phillipic which had been hurled against them by the Morning Chronicle, and which, against them by the Jt/o?'?:?? G'/?-oK;c /e, and which, their representative, Mr. Cardwell. Whether that was the case or not, it was very evident that the public servants and their organs had been carefully studying the late Dean Swift's celebrated directions to servants in general. The dean said,—" When you have done I a fault, be always pert and insolent, and behave yourself as if you were the inj ured person." This will immediately put your master or lady off their mettle." Now, here was a case in which they began to look after their own national household, and they found it one scene of slovenliness and wanton waste from the garret to the cellar, and the stables, gardens, and woods and forests were no exception. They found, also, that the same messes cooked in the political kitchen were such as no Christian stomach could endure, and when they began to find fault, the servants turned round and asked what they meant by insulting gentlemen and men of honour. The government, though it resisted reform for fifty years, was never known to resist the de- mand for war for as many weeks as they staved off useful reforms for years. Mr. F. Finch pointed out the necessity of employing more extensive machinery to enlighten the public mind on the subject; they wanted to employ mission- aries to travel over the country, to form branches and associations in every town and village in the kingdom, and would proceed to do as soon as they should be ade- quately assisted by the public. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting broke up, delighted with the proceedings of the evening.

IMISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. The army estimates for 1S40-50 exhibit a decrease of £ 31S,621 compared with the charges of last year. The decrease in the number of men amounts to 11,081. The Brazilian mails are in future to be conveyed by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company from South- ampton or Liverpool, instead of by government sailing vessels from Falmouth. Hafiz Bey, an Egyptian admiral, is at present visiting Liverpool. It is said that Sir C. Napier has obtained a promise of compensation to the amount of £ 50,000 from the Emperor of Morocco, for the capture of the Two Sisters some months ago. A child, eighteen weeks old, belonging to a joiner at Lee Brook, was, a few days ago, suffocated while in the cradle, by another child, three years old, who was playing with it, dropping a screw into its mouth. f The Emperor of Russia has issued commands to all charitable and benevolent institutions in the empire, positively prohibiting them to augment their funds by means of masquerades and public amusements. Since the incorporation of Stockport, the sum of E4000 has been swallowed up in law charges, indepen- dent of other similar incidentals. The Lord Chancellor has decided, in the case of Warde v. Warde, to remove three children, a girl eleven years old, and two boys who are younger, from the custody of their father, because of his habitual and confessed pro- Bigaey, the only companion of his daughter being a female with whom he has lived in improper intimacy since his wife was compelled to leave his roof. The Dublin University Corporation are the owners of 230,000 acres of land in Ireland. No fewer than 182 deacons and 205 priests have been ordained for the Established Church in England, Wales, and Ireland, during the last Christmas season. Prince Waldemar of Prussia, died at Munstcr, on the 17th inst. in the arms of his father, Prince Wil- liam of Prussia, uncle of the present King, from the consequences of a fall received while hunting. He was 32 years of age. The prince was present at all the operations of the campaign against the Sikhs, under Lord Hardinge. Her Majesty's brig, Scout, of IS guns, struck on the 27th of November, on a rock in the river Min, China, and immediately fell over into deep water and sank. No lives were lost, and hopes were entertained of saving the vessel. The Admiralty has issued an order which deprives all dockyard labourers, (except storehouse labourers and those employed in roperies) of any pension for servitude. The unj ust part of this order is, that it is to take effect from the year 1833 so that the terms on which the present labourers are engaged, will be violated. The Loharree, an iron ship of 650 tons, capsized off the St. Katharine's Docks on Thursday, by a sudden gust of wind a heavy squall struck her starboard side, lifting her keel completely out of the water, and the captain, finding that she was going over, shouted to his men, "Now, my boys, you must jump for your lives but before they had time to do so the vessel went completely over on her larboard side, her mast- head coming in contact with a barge loaded with stone. She was thus prevented from sinking; and the crew saved themselves in the rigging. On Thursday last the daughters of a respectable tradesman residing in the neighbourhood of the pro- menade, Cheltenham, caused some charcoal to be lighted in an open pan, and placed it in a bedchamber for the purpose of airing it. Shortly after they went into this room to dress, but the fumes of the charcoal soon overcame them. They succeeded, however, in reaching the kitchen, where they fainted. Restoratives were used, and the young women recovered conscious- ness. They continued for some time in a weakly state. Let it onlv be made compulsory on landlords," suggests the Clare Journal, to resign their unoccupied land for a certain term to the poor law commissioners, and we predict that the present vast extent of waste, will become small by degrees, and beautifully less, until we shall behold every acre of it in occupation." The Galway Vindicator says It is generally thought that as the Habeas Corpus Act is to be con- tinued, Mr. Smith O'Brien and his fellow prisoners will be discharged during the year." —Rather an Irish sequitur. Mr. Sharman Crawford intends to resign the re- presentation of Rochdale at the close of the present parliament. The West Riding dinner to Mr. Cobden will take place at Wakefield, in Easter week. Of the 10,000 rank and file ordered for reduction fully 4000 will be disbanded in Ireland. The examination of Mr. Bartlett, of Epsom, on a charge of violating the person of Miss O'Grady, ter- minated on Thursday, when the magistrates said thev | had come to the conclusion (though not without great doubt remaining on their minds) that there was not enough in the evidence to raise that fair and probable presumption of the crime having been committed to induce them to send the case for trial. The prisoner was, therefore, discharged. The announcement was received with applause. Mr. Cobden has placed on the motion paper a notice that when. in the House of Commons, the order of the day is read for going into committee of supply, he will move, for reasons set forth in the notice, to reduce the annual expenditure, with all practicable speed, to an amount not exceeding the sum which, within the last fourteen years has been proved to be sufficient for the maintenance of the security, honour, and dignity of the nation." An excursion trip to Paris for the purpose of re- turning the visit of the French National Guards to London, has been organized. Several thousand persons are going, and in order to secure the necessary accom- modation and regularity, whole hotels will be hired at Paris, special trains on the railways in both countries engaged, and steam-boats chartered for the occasion. A gentleman is lingering without hope of recovery at Waltham Abbey, in consequence of having, while ex- perimenting with the electric light a few days ago, touched an incised wound on his hand with the conduc- j tor, a copper wire, and poisoned the flesh. Punch says that if the measure regarding insolvent M. P. 's passes, "nobody will be allowed to introduce a bill into the House of Commons who is unable to take up his own." On Wednesday evening, a fire broke out on the pre- mises of Messrs. Murray and Brown, engineers, &c., in Lydia Ann-street, Liverpool, by which the whole of the buildings and machinery were destroyed, the combusti- ble nature of the materials and the force of the wind baffling all the efforts of the fire-engines. The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss is estimated at be- tween £ 3,000 and £ 4,000. Both buildings and ma- chinery were fortunately insured. An important judgment was delivered in the Blooms- j bury County Court on Friday, in a proceeding instituted bv the Apothecaries's Company against Raphael Lewis Lobo, a foreigner, for practising as an apothecary with- out due qualification. The facts of his having so prac- tised, and the absence of any legal license being proved, the Court gave judgment against the defendant, who had made himself liable to heavy penalties. Upon Mr. Lobo undertaking not to repeat his offence until he had become properly qualified and paying the costs of the present, action, the amount of the penalty was forgone by the prosecutors. We have it upon authority on which we place great N l. P for Oxford Univer- reliance, that Mr. Gladstone, M.P. for Oxford Univer- sity, will, during the present session of Parliament, in- troduce a bill for the purpose of legalising the admission- of Scotch Episcopal ministers to English benefices.- Church and State Gazette. We hear that the command of the Indian army has been offered to Sir George Napier, but the state of that gallant oiffcer's health prevented his acceptance of the com rnand.- Globe. The new Governor, Sir Robert Gardiner, arrived on the Gth at Gibraltar with his family. The Bridgewater estates in Herts, Bucks, and Beds, producing about 1:40,000 per annum, by the demise of the late venerable countess, pass to strangers in blood, without paying one penny probate or legacy duty. Two members of the Academy of Medicine, Paris, MM. Malgaigne and Guerin, quarrelled lately about chloroform. A challenge was sent by one gentleman, and declined in these words by the other A pistol shot proves very little, and a sword-thrust nothing at all."—" Thus has chloroform," remarks the Lancet, that somniferous agent, been the means of rousing the ire of sober academicians." A gentleman in Liverpool has contrived a plan for opening and shutting gates by means of a spring, which gates by means of a sprii)g, I i i p h can be acted upon by the pressure of a horse's foot, ,.) the wheel of a carriage, thus obviating the necessity fur alighting. In the Surrey Sheriffs Court, last week, a Mr. An- drew, formerly a military surgeon in the East India Company's service, recovered £ÚOO damages against I Mr. King, secretary to the Statistical and Ethnological Societies, he having written two defamatory letters to General Briggs and General White, of the East India Company's service, denouncing the plaintiff as a swindler. Herr Labitzky, whose compositions in the chief capi- tals of Europe enjoy the most unbounded popularity, has determined on visiting London immediately. It is supposed he will bring the elite of his celebrated or- chestic from Carlsbad, where the reputation they have gained by performing his splendid waltzes, &c., is second to no instrumental performance in the world. St. Pe- tersburgh, Berlin, Vienna, and Prague, &c., have been delighted with their performance for seasons past, and we are sure that in London his success will be fully as great The amount that will be required for the service of the Far 1849-50 on account of the Post-office Packet Service is estimated at £ 748.296 against fS14,360 voted for the year 1848-49. This charge is no longer to be included amongst the navy estimates. There was an investiture of the Order of the Bath at Buckingham Palace on Saturday. Her Majesty in- vested Sir James Caldwell, with the insignia of a K.G.C. Mr. George Russell Clark, late Governor of Bombay, and Mr. Henry Light, late Governor of British Guiana, with those of a civil K.C.B., and Major General Archibald Galloway, Coionel Duncan M'Gregor and Col. Charles Rowan, were knighted, and received the ensigns of a K.C.B. Among the recent contributions to the National Society are donations of £100 from the Prince of Wales, £ 250 from the Queen Dowager, £ 250 from the Archbishop of Canterbury, and f200 from the Bishop of London. A London coroner's jury, a few day's since brought in a verdict in a case where a man had cut his throat of-" We find that the deceased died of temporary insanity, produced by the wound on the throat." The Coroner Do you mean that, or that the wound was inflicted bv himself in a state of insanity, and that it produced his death. Foreman: That is what we mean. The verdict was accordingly recorded in somewhat dif- ferert terms. A meeting in support of protection to agriculture was called at Reading. There were eight present. Of course nothing was done.—At a meeting held at Battle, in Sussex, last week, it was resolved to petition parliament against the hop and malt duties, and to join in agitation for financial reform. Mr Cobden was in anything but disfavour with the speakers, who spoke energetically on'the good policy of forgetting what is lost, and aiming at what is now attainable. The Sultan of Turkey has lately given permission to the Jews to build a synagogue, or, as they prefer to call it, a temple, on Mount Zion. Liverpool has the honour of having ten of her sons, either by birth or adoption, in the present Parliament, and all of them men of liberal views and great talent for business,—W. Brown, W. E. Gladstone, T. Thornely, W. Ewart, W. Jackson, Sir J. Warmsley, E. Cardwell, Sir T. B. Birch, L. Heyworth, and J. Saunders, jun. The Rev.

A banker's clerk, aged 19, has fled from Fife, Scot- land, after abstracting £ 350 from the bank safe. It is suspected that he and two other lads have had their imaginations so fired by what they had read about California, that they have set off for that new El Dorado. After much private inquiry, the Gosport magistrates have resolved that there are not sufficient grounds to proceed against the party said to have been implicated by the dying confession of Mary Ann Skinnard, as to the murder of her illegitimate children by their father. As an example of the rapid advance of New Zealand, it may be noticed that public omnibuses ply up and down the streets of Wellington.

So decided a start has the market taken that the principal houses in South Staffordshire have issued circulars announcing an advance of 20s. per ton.

THE FLEA AND BUTTERFLY" RATE.—Sunderland, to its honour, is one of the few towns by which a rate has been laid, under Mr. Ewart's bill, for the mainte- nance of a public museum. One learned and worthy member, however, of the town-council, when the Mu- seum Committee had presented a report on Tuesday, took objection to an item in the accounts, remarking that he could not see the advantages of imposing charges on the ratepayers for fleas and butterflies.'

IT'S A FACT."—Jenny Lind is to be married at last, not a mere press marriage-for she has been given away by nearly every editor in the kingdom but a real marriage, to be celebrated by wedding-cake, favours, and every possible happiness. The name of the future husband is to be a Mr. Harris, so that the long-talked- of myth—the original Mysterious Lady—the female Frankenstein that our dearly beloved and much libelled Mrs. Gamp created for her own future torment—will be proved to be no fable, but a real existent beautiful being. Who, in the name of all extravagance, could possibly have guessed that the Swedish Nightingale would eventually turn out to be Mrs. HarrisPunch. JF.NNY LIND'S MARRIAGE.—"F. M., the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. Harris, and will feel it the proudest moment of his life to give away the lovely bride,-Pit?iclj.
