THOMAS and HOWARD continue to supply the Loss of Teeth without springs or wires upon their new system oT SELF-ADHESION, which has procured them such uni- versal approbation, and is recommended by numerous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most ingenious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, rendering the operation of extracting quite unnecessary. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk from the Use to ,ca?on?el or other causes. They also beg to invite those not hklng to undergo any painful opelation, as practised by most members of the profession, to inspect t eir painless yet I'llective s'stem; and in order that their improvements may within*the r?ach of the most economical, they will con- t ,me the <ame moderate charges. Messrs. THOMAS and HOWARD, gttrgeota Deit- t ts, 64, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London. At h-tme from ten tiufour. Those interested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others, to be entirely and scru- pulously correct.

TURNER'S TESTIMONIAL. SIR,-I do not hesitate to express my conviction, that YOUR PATENT BRANDY is fully as free from every- thing injurious to health, AND CONTAINS AS PURE A SPIRIT AS THE BEST VARIETIES OF FOREIGN BRANDY. I remain, Sir, your most obedient Servant, EDWARD TURNER, Professor of Chemistry in the University of London. /i?s?\ ??PATE?NT?J ?iT?<?/  THIS IS THE ONLY BRANDY IN ENGLAND PROTECTED BY THE PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES THUS EMBOSSED WITH THE ADDRESS OF THE FIRM. BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY may be obtained, in the Capsuled Bottles, at 3s.6d. by way ofsample,& at 18s. per Gallon in bulk, of the most respectable Wine and Spirit Merchants, in every locality. The Distillery, 7, Smith- field Bars, London, is the only Establishment of J. T. BETTS, Jun. and Co. ROWLAND'S ODONTO, OR, PEARL DENTIFRICE. Patronised by Her Majesty The Queen," and the Royal Family of Great Britain, as well as the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe. THE importance of possessing A FINE SET OF JL TEETH is universally acknowledged by all who attach the due value to Personal Advantages and the blessings of health. A regular, firm and pearly row of teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while the in- dispensable agencies which they fulfil in respect to the functions of health demand our utmost care and atten- tion in their preservation. Disorders of the Teeth, however slightly regarded, are inevitably attended with evils which affect the whole system. Whatever renders mastication painful or im- perfect, not only lessens our relish and enjoyment of food, but also prevents that perfect comminution and mixture of it with the saliva which is indispensable to perfect digestion, and hence arise an endless train of diseases of the stomach, while at the same time the body is deprived of its wonted nourishment, and the whole system languishes in a state of discomfort and disease. Perhaps among all the disagreeable consequences that follow fast the decay of the teeth—an impure breath must be the most mortifying to its possessor, as it is the most generally offensive in society. The Decay of the Teeth arises from various causes; but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, indeed, is prin- cipally to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which has happily terminated by the most felicitous dis- covery ever given to the world for the Preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz.— ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE. A White Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the Choicest and most Recherche Ingredients of the Oriental Herbal; the leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the highest possible degree. It extir- pates all tartarous adhesions to the Teeth, and ensures a Pearl-like Whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its Anti-Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence; they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of perfect soundness, while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication; the Breath also, from the salubrious and disinfecting quali- of the Odonto attains a sweetness and fragrance truly grateful to its possessor. It speedily removes those ravages which children sus- tain in their Teeth, owing to improper use of sweet and acid articles, which imperceptibly destroy them. The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves, that its efficacy in preserving and embellishing the Teeth, far surpasses any thing of the kind ever offered to the Public. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic purifier of the Breath, Teeth, & Gums ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has now for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is universally held Price 2s. 9d. per box.

ALL MAY BE CURED I THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Extract of a Letter from the Earl of Aldborough, dated Villa Messina, ueghorn, 21st Feb 1845. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my thanking 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 my 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. A wonderful Cure of Dropsy of Five Years' standing. Copy ofaLetter from Mr. Thomas Taylor, Chemist, Stockton Durham, 17th April, 1845. TO PROFBSSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,—I think it my duty to inform you that Mrs. Clough, wife of Mr. John Cloiigh, a respectable farmer of Acklam, within four miles of this place, had been suffering from Dropsy for five years, and had had the best medical advice without receiving any relief. Hearing of your Pills and Ointment, she used them with such surprising benefit that, in fact, she has now given them up being so well, and quite able to attend to her house- hold duties as formerly, which she never expected to do again. I had almost forgotten to state that she was given up by the Faculty as incurable. When she used to get up in the morning it was impossible to discover a feature in her face, being in such a fearful state. This cure is entirely by the use of your medicines. I am, Sir, yours, &c. &c., (Signed) THOMAS TAYLOR. A Cure of Indigestion and Constipation of the Bowels. Copy of a Letter from G. R. Wvthen Baxter, Esq., Author of the Book of the Bastiles," &-c. &c. The Brynn, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, North Wales, March 3rd, 1845. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,-I consider it my duty to inform you that your Pills, a few boxes of which I purchased at Mr. Moore s, Druggist, of Newtown, have cured me of constant indi- gestion and constipation of the bowels, which application to literary pursuits had long entailed upon me. I should strongly recommend Authors, and studiously-disposed persons generally, to use your valuable Pills. You have my permission to publish this note, If you wish to do so.

David Williams, Resident Wesleyan Minister at Beaumaris, Island or Anglesea, North Wales, January 14th, 1815. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sin,—The Pills which I requested you to send me were for a poor man of the name of Hugh Davis, who before he took them, was almost tenable to icalk for the loant of breath! and had only taken them a few days when he appeared quite another man his breath is now easy and natural, and he is increasing daily in strength.

CAUTION.-All Persons advertising Succedaneum J for Stopping decayed teeth, fraudulently attempt to imitate Mr. Clarke's original Succedaneum; and if any Succedaneum than Mr. Clarke's be purchased, it will be discovered useless. Mr. Clarke can say, without the slightest exaggeration, that he has sold 3,000 bottles of Succedaneum within 16 months; & 2,800 individuals have been able to use it successfully; and most of the other pur- chasers have been to Mr.Clarke, at his residence, 61, Lower Grosvenor-Street, London, to have their teeth stopped, without any further charge than the original cost of the Succedaneum, price 5s.

Patronised by Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, His Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the principal Nobility. Mr. CLARKE'S SUCCBDANEUM for Stopping Decayed Teeth is far superior to anything ever used before, as it is placed in the tooth without any pressure or pain, be- comes as hard as the enamel immediately after applica- tion, and remains firm in the tooth for life; not only rendering extraction unnecessary, but also making them again useful for mastication. All persons can use Mr. CLARKE'S Succedaneum themselves with ease, as full directions are enclosed (price os.) and sold by all res- pectable medicine-vendors in town and country, and can be sent by post on receiving a Post-office order.—Pre- pared only by Mr. Clarke, Surgeon-dentist, 61, Grosvenor treet, Bond Street, (removed from 53, Harley-Street, Cavendish-Square. ) LOSS OF TEETH.

We regard the work before us, The SILENT FRIEND, as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over bv the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable imprpssion on our mmds, that wo not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscietion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."— Age and Argus. "The Authors ofTHB SILKNTFRIEND seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The per- spicuous style in which this book is written, and the va- luable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—ERA.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK. Mr. La'Mert, being a rcguLtrly educated member of the ML" 'dicalprofe.?sioii,an g possessed of the hihest qualifications, is a strong inducement alone to recommend his work to the perusal of all who feel interested in such matters, for it is a subject of as much importance to tlitf moralist as to the me- dical practitioner; and it really is surprising to see that nothing worthy of notice is to be found on a matter so im- portant in the various writings of standard authors. This cir- cumstaiie, app ars remarkable and unaccountable, when ex- perience has s hown that local weaknesses and imperfections, either hereditary or acquire I, constitute the great majority, perhaps nine-tenths of the causes of nervousness, mental imbecility, and constitutional weakness. We must confess we are astonished at the extent of human suffering, anxiety, and misery which is pourtrayed in this work, as emanating from peculiar causes, which are not less ruinous, because they are not supposed to exist. Unfortunately, there is a false de- licacy and a false refinement in the present age, which rather seeks to glo<s over immorality than to combat and subdue it. We can only say, that every one who reads this extra- ordinary work will be gratified and enlightened by its peru- sal."—HALL.WAY DKLI.. Unquestionably this is the most extraordinary and skilful work 01 the kind ever written. it breathes, throughout, a high tone of moral feeling, and ought to be extensively cir- culated: for it is quite evident that there are 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 author has taken up the subject in a masterly and perspicuous style; and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of mature age, from the various evil consequences resulting from such indicn.tion,M AG IT.

AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION MEETINGS.…
AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION MEETINGS. WARWICK.—A special meeting of the members of the Warwickshire Agricultural Protection Society, and the "Friends of Native Industry," was held on Mon- day week, to adopt measures suitable to the exigencies of the agricultural interest, to avert the consequences of the excitement caused by the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League. From 600 to 700 persons were present. The Earl of Aylesford in the chair. COLCHESTER.—On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the landholders, farmers, and others, resident in the eastern division of the county of Essex, convened by the Essex Agricultural Protection Society, took place at the Cups Inn, High-street, Colchester, for the purpose of opposing the abolition of the corn-laws and other restrictive duties." WORCESTER.—On Saturday a meeting of the mem- bers of the Worcestershire Protection Society took place for the purpose of taking into consideration the present prospects of the agricultural interest. Resolu- tions in support of the corn-laws were unanimously adopted. EAST LOTHIAN. -On Friday a general meeting of the County Agricultural Society was held in Haddington, which is one of the principal market towns in Scotland for the disposal of grain, for the purpose of adopting the best measures for maintaining adequate protection to the agriculture of the countj? and.of resisting the undue attempts now making Qt  e abolition of all pro- tective duties on agricult ure. ? solutions in further- ance of that object were caftfted by acclamation. BUllY ST. EDMUNDS.—A meeting was held at the Guildhall, Bury St. Edmunds, on Friday, convened by the mayor (Mr. J. Deck), in compliance with a requi- sition signed by 60 inhabitants, nearly all protectionists. A resolution was proposed in support of protection, which was met by an amendment in favour of a repeal of the corn-laws, and the amendment was carried by a large majority. NORTHAMTONSIIIRE ASSOCIATION FOR THE PRO- TECTION OF BRITISH AGRICULTURE AND NATIVE INDUSTRY.—The annual dinner of this association took place on Tuesday week, at Northampton, and was one of the most important and interesting demonstrations that has taken place in that county for many years. The great room of the George Inn, which is capable of accommodating upwards of 500 persons, was densely crowded, and additional tables were provided in some of the smaller rooms, the number who attended exceeding 600. In the course of the evening several eloquent speeches were delivered in advocacy of the continuance of protection to agriculture. CHICHESTER.-On Wednesday week, the second of a series of agricultural meetings in favour of protection," to be held in the county of Sussex, took place in the Corn Exchange, at which nearly 2,000 persons were present, but the great majority of them were agricul- tural labourers who were influenced to attend. The Hon. and Rev. L. V. Harcourt presided, and, in open- ing the proceedings, condemned the Anti-Corn-law League and the course pursued by its members, as un- constitutional, anti-national, and most injurious to the best interests of the working people of this country, whether agricultural or manufacturing labourers, the ob j ect bein,, object being to reduce wages for the profit of masters. The meeting was also addressed by the Duke of Rich- mond, Lord W. Lennox, Captain Pilkington, and others, who evinced the most violent feeling of opposition to Sir R Peel the Duke of Richmond accusing him of treachery, and Lord W. Lennox applying to him the term "political scoundrel." At the close, a copy of the Times was burned, under the sanction, as it seems, of the duke. There were a great many free-traders in in the crowd, who ridiculed many of the sayings of the protectionists. The usual resolutions were adopted. AYLESBURY.—The annual general meeting of the Roy- al Bucks Agricultural Association took place on Wed- nesday week, at the George Inn, Aylesbury. The at- tendance of tenant farmers and land-holders of the county was very considerable, the meeting being pre- sided over by his Grace the Duke of Buckingham. The Duke, in addressing the meeting, denounced the policy attributed to Sir R. Peel, who, he said, would be acting in the very teeth of those who placed him in power, if he attempted to deprive the agriculturists of the protection they enjoyed. Resolutions were passed for presenting petitions to Parliament. ST. ALHAN'S.—A general meeting of the Herts Agri- cultural Protection Society was held here on Wednes- day week, the Earl of Salisbury in the chair, supported by Lord Dacre, the Earl of Essex, the Hon. G. D. Ryder, M. P., Sir Minto Farquhar, Bart., Sir A. J. Dalrymple, Bart., and others of the influential landed aristocracy. Resolutions were passed strongly depre- cating any change in the corn-laws. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—An important -meeting of the members of the Nottinghamshire Agricultural Protec- tion Society took place at the Town-hall, Newark. In the course of the proceedings, letters were read from the members for the borough of Newark, who are both members of the Cabinet—Mr. Gladstone excusing his attendance on the score of other difficulties, but Lord Lincoln plainly telling them that, as a Minister of the Crown, he was precluded by a sense of public duty from attending. A memorial to the several members of Parliament connected with the county, in support of the corn-laws, was unanimously adopted.
FREE-TRADE MEETINGS.
FREE-TRADE MEETINGS. ISLINGTON.—A crowded meeting of the friends of free trade was held on Monday night, at the British School-room, Denmark-terrace, Islington; Peter Mar- tineau, Esq., in the chair. A resolution was unani- mously carried to the effect That this meeting views with the utmost satisfaction the efforts of the Anti- Corn-law League to recover the counties from the mis- representation of the monopolists, by the enfranchise- ment of free-traders and pledges itself to a cordial co- operation therewith." CARNARVON.-A large meeting was held here last week, at which great enthusiasm was displayed in fa- vour of a free trade in corn, and resolutions in favour of that object were carried by acclamation. LAMBETH.—On Tuesday week, a meeting of the electors of Lambeth took place at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of taking measures to pe- tition Parliament for the total repeal of the corn-laws. The large room of the Horns was completely filled. Among the gentlemen on the platform we observed Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. T. D'Eyncourt, M.P., Mr. Moifat, M.P., &c. &c. Mr. Richard Pope took the chair, and in opening the business of the meeting, observed that he appeared before them as what the world called a Con- servative, but he could not help taking a part in the Anti-Corn-law struggle, considering the question to be whether this country was or was not to be starved. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. D'Eyncourt, M.P., and others; and resolu- tions were unanimously adopted pledging the meeting to support the Government which should propose the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. BERION VSEY. On Wednesday a public meeting of rate-payers and inhabitants generally was held in the church of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, to petition her Majesty to issue an order in council for opening the ports for the free admission of all kinds of grain, and also to summon the Parliament forthwith to meet and pass an act for repealing the corn-laws. LEWES.—On Thursday, a public meeting was held at Lewes, for the purpose of promoting the qualification and registration movement of the League. The meet- ing was held in the theatre of the Mechanics' Institu- tion, and was attended by about 300 persons, princi- pally electors of the borough. BRIGHTON.—A meeting of electors for the purpose of promoting the return of free-trade representatives to Parliament, was held at the Town-hall, Brighton, on Wednesday evening week. The meeting, notwithstand- ing that the evening was wet and stormy, was most numerously attended, there being upwards of 800 per- sons present. It was resolved, that a requisition, signed by the inhabitants of the borough, be presented to the high-constable, to call a meeting to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the entire repeal of the corn and provision laws.

THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AT ROME.—The Augs- bwgh Gazette slates, from Rome, December 17, that at the farewell visit paid on that day by the Emperor of Russia to the Pope, his Holiness presented to his Impe- rial Majesty all the papers and documents that he had received for several years past relative to the religious persecutions and vexations to which the Russian Catholics have been subjected. The Emperor is said to have promised a rigid and impartial inquiry, and re- dress in all cases which shall be found to require it. The same account states, that whilst the Emperor Nicholas was at Rome, in one of his walks, a Polish lady threw herself at his feet, and implored the recall of her son, who had been exiled to Siberia. Her prayer was granted. POISONING IN CHINA.—A letter from M. Rondot, one of the commercial delegates, to M. Lagrene, dated Canton, the oth of September, contains the following :— Arsenic is known here in all its shapes. It is used in agriculture.for killing the worm which destroys the young shoots of the rice plants. The Celestial Empire has also its Brinvilliers. Four days ago, on the beach of Canton, near the Tehoukiang, a Chinese girl, between 18 and 20 years of age, was executed for poisoning with arsenic her father and her mother and sister-in-law. This unfortunate creature was literally dissected alive. They began by cutting off her breasts then, in succession, her nose, her eyelids, her ears, and so on the other parts of her body." MEXICAN SALUTE.—The Mexicans salute their new- born infants in this manner:—"Child, thou ait come into the world to softer endure, and hold thy peace. )
VARIETIES OF BRITISH CATTLE.
VARIETIES OF BRITISH CATTLE. We subjoin a short notice of the different breeds of cattle, from the pen of Professor Low, which will give a sort of idea of the different kinds of stock in the coun- try. Its brevity necessarily prevents any comprehensive description of their different properties, but still enough may be learned from it to induce further inquiry 1. The wild or white forest breed derived from a race which formerly inhabited, in a state of liberty, the woods of the country. Remains of this remarkable race have been preserved for ages in the parks of opulent indi- viduals, where the animals, herding and breeding ex- clusively one with another, retain the habits of their wild condition. In other cases thev have been reared in a state of domestication, when they assume the habits and essential characters of the common varieties. 2. The Zetland breed, of Scandinavian origin, inha- biting the remote islands of that name, and spreading over the Orkneys. These cattle are of diminutive size, but fatten readily, and are valued by theeoosumers. The females excel the cattle of the Highlands in the faculty of yielding milk. 3. The breeds of the Highlands of Scotland, spreading over the primary mountainous tracts of North Britain. These cattle are of a small size, covered thickly with hair, hardy, and suited to a country of heaths and mountains. The finest, usually termed the West High- land breed, are^rodnced in the countries on the western coasts, and pertain islands of the Hebrides, the smallest in the central Highlands, and the largest towards the eastern or border- ing on, the plains. These hardy .cattle are reared in vast numbers on the natural herbage of the mountainous country where they have been indigenous from time immemorial, and whence they are transferred at a suitable age, to be fattened in the lower country. 4. The Welsh breeds, somewhat exceeding in size the West Highland breed, and, like it, suited to a country of hills and natural herbage. They have dark or orange- yellow skins, and are mostly of a black colour. The finest are reared in the county of Pembroke, in the dis- trict of Castle-Martin. 5. The Kerry breed, naturalised in the mountains of Kerry, but spread over all parts of Ireland. The cattle of this breed are of small size, and of various colours, with tapering horns. They subsist on scanty food, and the females, yielding milk abundantly, are valued by the poorer inhabitants for the dairy. 6. The polled Angus breed, allied, in its essential characters, to the cattle of the mountains, but increased in size by being naturalised in a country of richer herbage, where artificial food can be supplied. This breed has dark s kins, and is destitute of horns. It has been greatly improved by the care of the breeders and is reared over a considerable tract of country. 7. The polled Aberdeenshire breed, of a mixed origin, and reared in the lower parts of the county of Aberdeen. 8. The Galloway breed, inhabiting a tract of grey- wacke hills in the south-west of Scotland the cattle of which are greatly valued for their hardiness, their adap- tation to the purposes of the grazier, and the quality of their beef. They are carried in great numbers to the pastures of England, chiefly of Norfolk, whence they are transferred to the London and other markets. They have deep bodies, dark skins, and are destitute of horns. 9. The polled Suffolk breed, cultivated for -an un- known period in Suffolk and the adjoining districts. The individuals are of medium size, with defective horns but the cows are admirable for the quantity of milk which they yield. The breed is losing ground con- tinually from want of care of the breeders, and the effects of crossing. 10. The polled Irish breed, of large size, and well- suited to the dairy, but much scattered, and merging in the breed with which it is crossed. 11. The Falkland breed of Fifeshire, apparently derived from Holland, inheriting the milking pro- perties of the Dutch races, but now nearly extinct in the pure state. 12. The Alderney breed, reared in the Norman islands of the Channel, of small size and ungainly form, with short crumpled horns, of delicate constitution, and requiring a temperate climate, but yielding a rich and finely-coloured milk. This breed is regularly imported into England, where it is kept for the luxury of the counties of the chalk. 13. The Ayrshire breed, derived from the county of Ayr, but widely spread over the dairy districts of Scot- land, and extending in considerable numbers to Ireland. This is the most numerous breed, cultivated exclusively for the dairy, in the British islands. The animals arc of medium size, and of various colours, with short horns. They are capable of subsisting on ordinary pas- tures, and yield a large quantity of milk in proportion to their size and the food consumed. 14. The Devon breed, naturalized in the higher parts of Devonshire, on the Bristol Channel, but spreading through the lower country. These cattle have orange- yellow skins, fine tapering horns, and are of a deep red colour. They are of a light and graceful form, agile, and suited for active labour. They fatten with sufficient facility on good pastures and in a temperate climate; but they are inferior in hardiness, and the power of subsisting on scanty herbage, to the mountain cattle of Scotland and Wales. They increase in bulk when naturalised in a lower country, so that the breed of South Devon differs in size and aspect from that of the higher lands. The females are small, and deficient in the power of yielding milk, though the milk which they afford is well-coloured and rich in cream. 15. The Sussex breed, a variety of the Devon and inheriting its properties, but of large size, and less delicate form. This breed is now undergoing great improvement, but is little sought for, for the purposes of grazing, beyond the district in which it is reared. 16. The Glamorgan breed, proper to the county of that name, common to the high and low grounds, but only brought to perfection in the Vale of Glamorgan. This breed possesses valuable qualities, and combines both the properties of milking and fattening; but the numbers of the improved variety are limited and circum- scribed in their diffusion by other breeds more generally cultivated. 17. The Herefordshire breed, greatly valued for its fattening properties, and extensively diffused, for the purpose of grazing, in the west of England. It has a remote affinity with the Devon breed, and the cows inherit the defect of the latter in being small and im- perfectly suited to the dairy. 18. The Long-horned breed, from time immemorial spread over Ireland and the western counties of Eng- land, still occupying a great tract of country, both in the mountains and plains, and varying in size with the fertility, natural or acquired, of the districts in which it has been naturalised. It was on the basis of this widely-spread race that Bakewell reared the beautiful breed of Dishlev, which spread over the midland coun- ties and extended its influence by crossing the older and coarser varieties. The long-horned breed is now giving rapid place to others better suited to the purposes of the breeder, the grazier, and the consumer. 19.-The Teeswater Short-horned or Durham breed, derived immediately from the district of the Tees, and perfected by Charles and Robert Colling, in the county of Durham. This breed is believed to possess a better combination of properties than any of the larger cattle yet produced in the British islands, is every where extending its limits, and superseding the pre-existing breeds, or modifying their characters by intermixture.

A PRIZE PEASANT SHOW.—The custom of stuffing cattle to an unnatural degree, is, we are told, desirable, for the purpose of improving the character of stock, and we should be very glad to see the experiment tried of improving the characters of peasants and agricultural labourers by feeding them. We should very much like to have an annual show of prize poor got up in the numerous districts where the friends of the working man" are so very busy in cramming cattle with all kinds of herbaceous luxuries. If a good quantity of fat stock is a sign of their owner being a good farmer, surely a good quantity of plump, portly-looking labourers would be a testimonial to the goodness of their employer. We fear, however, there is no chance for any experi- ment being made which would involve the necessity of generous dieting. There is a much greater probability of a competition between the Norfolk and Buckland principles, by a show of rival peasants, fed respectively on peas, starch, mangle-wurzel, or the celebrated pro- moter of warmth lately introduced to the notice of the poor in the shape of curry powder. We can fancy what a capital catalogue could be made up from the materials of such an exhibiticn. No. 1. A short-legged Norfolk labourer. Fed on boiling water and curry powder. Walked 30 miles to the exhibition. Bred in the Nor- wich workhouse. 1st prize.—No. 2. A Hampshire labourer. Supported entirely on starch. Brought in a cab halfa mile to the exhibition, by Dr. Buckland. 2nd prize. -N o. 3. An old bankrupt thimble-rig proprietor, who since the abolition of gambling at races, has been living entirely- on his remaining stock of peas, with a slice of mangle-wurzel twice a week, and a little starch on Sundays, 3rd prize. We think that in order to make the rivalry complete the union workhouses should be allowed to send in a limited number of paupers for competition.—Punch. LIKEWISE AND ALSO.—Mr. J. once objected to the competency of a witness, alleging that he was non COIll- pos. The court granted leave to test the matter. Can you tell me, my friend, the difference between likewise and also?" May be as ou I can," replied the witness. Go on, sir; let us hear." "Well you see az 'ou Colonel P. is a lawyer." Very well," said the coun- sel. And you is a lawyer also." Very well." Colonel P. is likcioise a gentleman." Very well." But you is not likewise." The lawyer was dumb.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. On the New Year's Day, the Queen, Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice proceeded to the riding school in the morning, to be present at the distribution of the royal charity to the poor of the borough. Her Majesty was attended by viscountess Jocelyn and the two maids of honour. There were also present, Lady Peel, Lady Graham, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Hon. Miss Lyttelton, Lady Fanny Howard, Lord W. Russell, Mr. G. E. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, Colonel Bowles, the Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay, Sir G. and Lady Cowper, Colonel Berkeley Drummond, and also the clergy and the magistrates of the town. The royal party having arrrived, the distribution of provisions and clothing took place. The provisions, of the value of £ 150, consisted of bread, meat, potatoes, pudding, and with coals, were distributed to 486 families from the two parishes in the borough of Windsor, viz., the parish of St. John, and of the Holy Trinity. The clothing was of the value of EIOO, consisting of blankets, red cloaks, calico, and flannel, and was distributed to 228 families, selected in a similar manner from the same parishes. Seven hundred and fourteen families thus participated in the royal bounty, receiving the value of £ 250. Lord Lyttelton has addressed a circular to his tenants cautioning them against disposing of their corn at inju- rious prices, and offering such accomodation as may be necessary to enable them to hold their stocks. Sir William Somerville, Bart. M.P. a few days ago, ascertained the amount of debt due by the pcor debtors in Droghcda jail, paid it in full, and thvir conferred, a welcome benefit 011 creditor and debtor. The iron masters are very firm in their determination to maintain present rates, and to advance them in the spring. Some idea of the immense amount of employment afforded (by railway business) to attornies' clerks and writers, and the demand for them, may be formed from the fact, that during the last fourteen days a provincial attorney had in his employ in London 113 writers, some of whom he had to fee very highly and so eagerly were they sought after, that if he chanced to turn his back ten minutes, he was sure to find several of his clerks bribed to go elsewhere.—Morning Chronicle. The Marine Society has sent nearly nine hundred boys to sea during the year 1845, and we hope the public will liberally support the institution. The sub- jects of its bounty are the most distressed and desolate of our fellow creatures. Such are relieved from all the evils of poverty, hunger, cold, and nakedness, and trained up to be useful to the commerce of the country as British seamen. Great preparations tren-ialiing for the solemnization to be observed in the city of Trent on the 15th instant, in celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the famous council held there. Representations having lately been made to the watch committee of the Chester town Council, respecting the large quantities of gunpowder kept within the city, they have given peremptory orders to their officers to seize all above the legal quantity, and to apply to the magistrates when necessary for search warrants to examine suspected premises. The Mining Journal states that the lead mines in the Mendip hills, Somerset, are progressing most satisfac- torily. The Mendip hills have not been worked until recently for several centuries. A fine steam frigate of war called The Fury" was launched at Sheerness on Tuesday. She is upwards of 1,000 tons burthen, and her engines are to be of 500 horse power. Dr. Polli, of Milan, known to the medical world by his researches on the blood, has just communicated to the Scientific Congress at Naples a proceeding to render salt water drinkable by means of electricity. -.I.[edical Times. The ambassador from the Emperor of Morocco to the King of the French arrived at Orleans on Saturday, and on the following morning (Sunday) at ten o'clock, was conveyed to Paris by special engine—a specimen of civilisation which must have struck him with admiration. It is stated in a letter from Turin that the Emperor of Russia will pay another visit to Palermo previous to his return to St. Petersburgh. The Empress will, it is said, remain at Palermo till the end of February, and thence proceed to Naples. The emperor of Russia was expected at Vienna on the 2Sth or 29th ult. His Majesty was to lodge at the Hotel of his Minister, Count Medem, and was not to stop more than two days in that capital, being extremely anxious to return to St. Petersburgh. A letter from Naples, of the date of the 1st instant, says Potatoes are now shipping here for Ireland, ILl, also wheat for England, in considerable quantities. Selkirkshire is vacant; Mr. Pringle having resigned". the representation, on being appointed keeper of the register of Sasines. Mr. Eiiott Lockhart, of Borth- register of Sasines. r. wickbrae, has offered himself to the electors, merely mentioning that he is a Conservative." A letter frem Venice informs us that the Duchess de Berry had a narrow escape from death, whilst at Padau with her daughter the Princess of Lucca, from inhaling the fumes of charcoal that had been incautiously used to warm their chamber, The King of Denmark's frequent indispositions give much uneasiness to his people. The apopletic seizures, though slight, to which he is known to have been of late years subject, justify but too well those alarms which neither the season of the year, the age, nor the habits of the Sovereign tend to allay. The Madrid Gazette publishes a report of the capture of 48 smugglers, and a considerable quantity of foreign goods, during the first week of December. The Viceroy of Egypt is about to found at Cairo a school of the fine arts. His chief object in creat- ing this institution is, it is said, to disseminate amongst his subjects a taste for the study of all things relating to Egyptian architecture. It is reported that M. Gernaud, a French architect, is to be placed at the head of this institution. A correspondent of the Times has gleaned from Mr. Spackman's Railway Interest of the United Kingdom," the fact that Moorgate-street, London, has given out 83 prospectuses of railways, the capital for the completion of which requires the enormous sum of £ 90,175,000. A blockade of the ports and coast of the provinces of Buenos Ayres was established on the 24th of September, by the vessels of the British and French squadrons. Correspondence from Trebisonde, dated the 30th ult., states that the redoubtable Schamyl was waiting with impatience the arrival of the frost, to enable him to cross the rivers and attack the Russian forts. On Friday a little girl, at Manchester, while cutting an apple, fell on the knife, the point of which entered her body and killed her. Tivo brothers, one aged 20, and the other 18, resi- ding in the Rue de Soubise, at Dunkirk, quarrelled on Sunday in playing cards, and in a moment of passion the younger seized a knife, and stabbed the elder so violently that he expired the next day.
