H AVEIIF()RDWEST TOWN COUNCIL. Tii" Quaiterly Meeting of thp Town Council was held on Vliniday last. Present—The Mayor; Aldermen J. LI. Morgan and O. E. Davies; Councillors J. Harvey, Win. Walters, James Owen. J. Marychurch, J.Jenkins, Alfred J. G. Harries, F. Lemons, and Henry Phillips. At eleven o'clock a mescaje was received from the stating I ha* he was engaged (at the Shirehall) for probably half an hour, and requesting the Council to proceed with the business at one?. Dr..Morgan, the senior alderman, was called to the chair, hilt lie declined to take ir,an¡\, during his temporary absence from til? room. Mr. A'deimen Owen was called to the chair. Mr. Henry Davies, acting town clerk, said be was desired to apnlogise for the absence of Mr. James Summers through i"d ispos irion. Th- Chairman said he was sorry to say Mr. Rees was also ab-ent from the same cnuse. THE QUARTER'S BILLS. The Treasurer presented his account for the quarter, and the bills were ordered to be forthwith paid, witii the excep- tion of the gas account for C-1 7s 2d, which was ordered to hi> examined into, and some ol the bills for printuig were summarily r¡>duCfd. Tl.e Mayor, having now arrived, took the chair. GRAMMAR SCHOOL PR USE NT AT ION. Mr. Jenkins proposed that Henry Joseph Stevens, twelve years of age, son of Mr. Steeens, inland revenus officcr, be nomitiaced to the Grammar School. V.\WE!S CHARITY. Dr. Morgan proposed that Mr. William Thomas, carpenter Shut Street, be appointed a recipient of Vawer's Charity, or as it is commonly a black coat," in he ul :ce of the late Mr. T. R 'bbin. He observed that );1r. Thomas was libont eighty two years of age, and was formerly a Militia- man. having served as such in Ireland during tho last war. Mr. Walters seconded the mot inn. Mr. Harvey, Mr. James Owen, Mr. O. E. Davies, Mr. M aryrhurch. and Mr. H. Phillips, mentioned the names of Mr. Mark Griffiths. Mr. Bev ins, sen., John Thomas, Geo. Evans, and other parties, whom they bad intended to pro- pese, but the feeling of the Council was so evidently shown in favour of Mr. Thomas, that they did not propose the respective candidates, and Mr. Thomas was unanimously elected. The Mayor observed that if the public had supported the corporation, they would have been able to have given a money to upwards of thirty instead of being obliged to re- strict them to eight or nine. In consequence of the public not giving that support the money was expended on people who did not want it, and some twenty people who might benefit by it were deprived of the means. THE RACE COURSE. The Mayor said the next business would be to hear the report 01 the Committee appointed to consider the question of enclosing the Race Course, and he called on the Clerk to r»ad it. The Clerk read the report, which was written as a case to be presented to the Waste Land Inclosure Commissioners. Statement of the Mavor, Aldermen, and Burgesses 01 the Borough of the Town and County of Haverfordwest, in relation to their Race Course and Area thereof, now in waste. An Act of Parliament was passed in the second year of | Queen Victoria, and which received the Royal Assent un Ibe 27th July, 183S. for dividing, allotting, and enclosing common and waste lauds, called Portfield, otherwise Poorfield, in the county of the town of Haverfordwest, ot the extent of 5ï5 acres, the soil and freehold of which were ili, n claimed by the Mayor, Aldermen, "nd Burgesses of Haverfordwest, on the one hand, and the Freemen of the siid bo ough on the other hand, and the said Freemen like- wise cl dined the pasturage of and the right to depasture their cattle on the said lands. By that act power was given to the Comlllis,ioner appointed by it to determine the rights of the several claimants, and to allot to each pirty entitled, such portions, as he might, on investigation, find they were respectively entitled to, after setting apart allotments for roads, for gravel toads, for sale to defray expenses, and for rei reation. The enactment for the latter purpose is as follows "And lIe it further enactpd, that the said Commissioner shall, and be is hereby required to set out and allot to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgessfs of the said borough so much and such parts of the said cornmollllf,d waste lands as include the present llace Course and th» Area within the Course, being eighiy-eight acres, or thereabouts, for aplr.ee 01 recreation and exercise for the neighbouring population, at their free will and pleasme, and slid. allotment shall be holden by and vested in the said Mayor, AMermen, and B'.ugesses, for the purp aforesaid for ever thereafter, and may be depastured by sheep, but by sheep only, at all times 01 tile year, except at such times as races shall be hdd upon tile said race course and that the profits arising from such pasture be divided among the parties to whom allotments shall he under or by virtue of this Act, in proportion to the value at the tim" ot allotment of the Umds allotted to them respectively." It is afterwards pnact, d- "That the Common and Lands, thereby directed to be divided and niloter!, shall be inclosed, hedged, di ched, draimd, and fenced, by such persons, within such time, and in such manner as the said Commissioner shall in and hy his award order and direct, and the hedges, ditches, drains, and fences, which shall he made pursuant to ihesaid award, shall at all times thereafter be maintained and kept III repair, and cleansed by such perS'H1S as the s iti Com- missioner shall by his award order and direct so that, neverlhe'ess, tils expence3 of fencing and draining the land to lie allotted for recreation and excercise as aforesaid, pur- suant ro the power hereinbefore cmtamed. shall be defrayed by and out ol the moneys to be raised bv viruieof this Act." On the fourth day of January, 1840, the Commissioner made his award, which was (hen final, bv which lie deter- mined that the Freemen of the borough of Haverlordwest for the tim" being were entitled to ti e sfde aod exclusive right 01 feeding and depasturing cattle on the said Common and Waste Lands, and that the Mayor, Aldeimen, and Burgesses of the borough were entitled to the g. il and free- hold thereof, subject to such right of feeding or depasturing as aforesaid, and allotted and awarded to the said Mayor, Aldermen, anil Burgesses, two lots of land containing res- pectively 4fia. Or. 12p. and 35a. 2r, 3.5p. in full compensation for their right t,) the soil of the said waste lands. And alter awarding allotments for road; gravel, and watering places, and directing by whom the several fences were to be kept in repair, the Commissionerawarded— "That the Fences enclosing the Race Course and the Area of tf:" said Race Course shall, from and after comple- tion thereof, be for ever maintained and supported by and at the expense of she Mayor, Aldermen, an I Burgesses, and their successors as trustee for the purposes aforesaid." The award afterwards contains the following clatise- And I do hereby set and allor and award to the s^id Mayor, -A lilci men, a-id Burgesses of the borongh of Haver- fordwest. so much and such parts of the Common and Waste LWllI, as included the present Rare Course, anil the Art- within the Course, and containing by admeasure- ment eighty-five acres, two roods, and ti ve perches, or there- abouts, be the same more or less, and bounded by lands soi l bv me to in Rees and Henry T.isker on or towards the north, by the said public highway, numb, red 58 011 the said map hereto annexed, and hy lands sold bv uie to the said Henry Ta-ker on or towards the south anit west, and hy lands sold hy me to Edwaui Fisher, and by an allotment hereby made by me to the said Mayor. Aldermen, and Bur. gesses on or towards the east, or of whatever quantity the same may consist, or however otherwise the san.e may he hounded. The said Race Course and the Area within the Course to be lor a place of recreation and exercise for tne neighbouring population at their free will and pleasure, such last mrnriom d ::f!0'0I(,111 Iwing- virtue of the twerny-(i(t:i section of ihe said'Pot tfield Inclovire Act, to be holden by and vested in the said Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses for toe purposes aforesaid for ever hereafter, and to be depastured I". s i-ep, but by only, at all time., 01 the year except ar such -juii's as public races shall be held upon the said Race Course, and the prcfits arising from such pasture to be divided among the parties to whom allotments are made under the said Pom field Inclostire Act, in proportion to the value at the time of allotment of the said lands allotted to them respectively." Aod afterwards the clause awarding the residue of the said lands, containing 2j1 acres, to the Trustees of the Freemen of the said borough for the benefit of such Free- meo and their successors for ever. The Racecourse and the are- thereof were fenced at first by the Commissioner, an-1 it will be seen, by what is before «et forth, that he directed t at the same iencej, should be a'terwards kept in repair by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, as frll" ees thereof. But he did not drain or i" any way improve ihe land-, of the R icecourse and the area, and the same for the most part are miry, unfit for recreating upon as IV", intended, and contemplated by the Act, and by OIPOM of swan py and uncultivited condition, are unfit for the depasturing only of sheep, the animal only tha' by the Act was allowed t,) be depastured thereon, and are c frequently in their present stale of little or no vdue eitfier did he by his award order or direct the lands to be drained, and th expenses thereof defrayed, as he might b.ve done, od of the monies raised by virtue of the Act, A iout 40s a year is all that can be now realised lor the ..i2hry five acres, whereas if the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, had power even for the limited teim of twenty, one years, either to let the lauds comprising the area <>f the Course (the course itself ni ght be left for Races, although there have been none had there for several years last p st) to tenants who would covenant to drain and by cultivation to bring them into good pasturage, or to effect those im- provements themselves with the monies that might he brought to produce some £ !ii) or £ 6i) per annum or, as they are in the immediate neighbourhood of the town of Haveifordive»t, they niighr, after proper draining and cul- tiViition, be laid out as a park to recreate on, and might witoHl pioduce by the depasturing of theep, a moderate "A M '°r ,t" PiU,'es entitled rhneto. But as the Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses, have no funds that they can ega ly apply for the purpose, and as the Portfield Inclosnre 'k,t r ? ct resti iicts the use o| tfi<■ course and area (now utterly use- es^ nr ihat purpose) to the depasturing ot sheep, no person PV-r,t.,n Posses'ilnn of the poiver or the means of Comini8 i ImproVemei"- It lias been thought that the 118 forVhe'H' Act °*89 Victoria, chapter power to e-lv"C "ff'T was:ps. might possibly have the t' aT H e/ l", » n V" dtslr '("e object Or it not r 'i rider to one of their Acts mi»ht obtain ZTJ™ i,rI'mRnt,f,"r'h't purpose, without incur g er olT !fPenS^"SU", lV at'rUm "Pon procuring a local Ac ol Parliament Apr that exclusive purnose. The Mavor Aldermen, and Burgesses of Hnverlord west, therefore bee to lay this statement before the said Commissioners, and to request their advice and assistance in the maltrr. They send with this statement a copy ot the Portfield Inclosnre Act and of the mass of the Common. The award is vol, ruinous, but a copy of it shall likewise be forwarded if re- piired; but it is conceived that the extracts given in this • tatement will suffice for the purpose intended. Itisap- ireheruied .hat the consent of the requisite number of Free- nen might be obtained to the contemplated improvement. Mr. James Owen said he had been appointed one of the committee, but had not attended either of their meetings, which was his osvn fault, but be should certainly oppose dint part whIch proposed to lei the ground for a lease •! t-ven;y-one years, bt cause be felt sure il it was so let at a rental of £ 60 a year, it would not at il.e end oF that lime be again thrown ep<-n to the public. He would by no means ne h party to deprive the public of such a poriion of their rights. I he Mayor said Mr J.\mes O'vcn was out of order, as the question was not then before the board. Mr Harvey moved that the report be received and idopied, though he was not at all sanguine of the success o! t-s lecomnie'iddtion. The Council had appointed a com- mittee t* consider antl report on the question, with a view to "s being inclosed, and tiiev surelv did not mean to turn roiHid now and sny it should not ne inclosed, because if so thev might as well at, once discharge their committee. I, aj not for them to say w hat w ould be lone at ihe expira- ii m ol toe lease, ,-u most of them would be run out by thai time. He w.,s sure the committee had no intention of lit,. jeivipg ihe public of their right, and he regretted Mr Rec* vas i,ot then i resent, as that g'htl-man woii'd have iieen ^b'e mot t tudy to explain what i* is prc-pt/ttt?. Mr O- E. Davies seconded the motion, and said lie thought, after the trouble which had been bestowed on the subject hy Mr Rees and Mr Goode, it would be very un gracious in their absence, to throw the question aside. The Mayor said he had received a note from Mr Goode informing liim that that gentleman was called out of town and therefore was unable to attend the meeting of the Counr il. Mr Owen repeated the objecti -n he h;d before urged, in which he was supported by Mr G. Harries. Dr. Morgan also objected to the deprivation of the public of their right to tile ground and he was convinced that i! £ C>0 a year v.as realised by its rental it would never be given up again to the public. Mr Marvcluirch said in order (o make the lam 1 a ViilaWt for a park it must be drained, and to get that done effec- tually it mns' be let on lease. '1 hey wanted also to raise money from the land t,) meet the exp nsp st converting it t'tFrwardttntoapark. He did not think it would be ne- cessary to let the whole on a lease for "21 years, hut thev might divide it into arts and let them separately on lease. for seven years, S3 that only these s- parate parts should b^- inclosed it a time. He thought, howev.-r, they coahl !In: 1'('t on witl] I he subj,'ct in:: he ,d,sl'IJce of '1 r H c"S and :\11- Gonde, and he would therefore more that the question be adjourned till those gentlemen were present. Mr Welters seconded this motion, which was carried unanimously. THE MILITIA AND THE CORN MARKET. The Mayor said he had be-n anrdied fo for the use of the Corn Market hy the Militia. HP had given permission provisionally, and he expressed his willingness to continue to do so. with ihe sanction of the Council. It witsagrpuf the Militia might have the use of the Corn Market subject to the direction of the Mayor. THE FINANCE REPORT. Mr Harvey said, as one ol the Finance Committee, he was prepared to go into the Finance Report, but, as nt their last meeting it was thought desirable ilia report should be printed and perused by the members of the Council, he did not know if they would go into it, as it was very long and d'edttferent portions ought to be gone into seriatim. The Clerk said he had enquired Iheexpenseof Mr Divies who said it would be X4 tor 5f)O copies, and as the Council had stipu'itel the expense should not exceed X5, he had directed Mr Davies ¡n go on, and he expected it would be ready in two or three days. It was then agreed the Council should adjourn to the J2th of March. After the adjournment of the Conncil the members pre- sent resolved themselves into the Water Committee. Mr flarvpy s*id in consequence of the dispute between the Wa'er Committee and Perrott's Trustees it had been resolved they should go into an examination of thp subject, hut as he thought it was not a question for public discussion be would move that the same gentleman who bad formed t}¡p Finance Committee of the Council should he appointed to examine into the water question, namely—Messrs. Harvey, Walters, Goode, Beynon, and O. E. Davies. After an unsuccessful attempt to induce Dr Morgan to join the above named gentleman, the Committee was agreed to, and the meeting broke tip. [The following cam? to hand too late last week.] CARDIGAN.—This town was enlivened on the first instant hy great rejoicings in commemoration 01 the marriage o' R. D. Jenk;ns, E-q., of the Priory, with Miss Elizabeth Lewis, of Bryndovey, near Aberdovey, Merionethshire, which took place on that day. The town was decorated with flags -in,, banners, in the principal thoroughfares, the vessels in the river were gaily dressed in the various streamers; and at the time the clock of Saint Mary's Church struck eight, the bells commenced ringing meriilv, and enntinu-d to do so during the remainder of the day. A considerable number ot the inhabitants had, unknown to Mr. Jenkins, subscribed to obtain a supply of fireworks from London, and a band of musicians was also engaged by them for the oc- casion the band paraded the different streets playing lively airs, ami adding greatly to the merriment of clie "ceii". Several cannons were also obtained and placed in charge of competent persons, formerly artillery men, under whose care they were tired at intervals, for some hours, without the I slightest injurious result. Sofre captains of ships in the river joined in the mimic bombardment, and contributed to the general hilarity by firing cannon in their possession. If) the evening an immense bonfire was lighted in thecentre of Cardigan Common, and there the fireworks were put off, lo the satisfaction of hundreds of spectators, rn-iny of the fireworks exhibited being of a very superior description, The festivities 01 the day were only terminated by the ap- proach of night. CARDIGAN.—The death of Pryse Loveden, Esq., the late i Member for this Borough, lias created a great sensation and agitation here, and numerous reports are current as to can- didates for the vacant seat; but at present nothing is suf- ficientiy definite to be publicly asserted. The names of several gentlemen are confidently mentioned. The bells ot Saint Mary's Church tolled the whole of the day appointed for th" interment of the remains of the deceased gentleman, and many of the shops were closed. CARDIGAN BOROUGH SESSIONS—At a Petty Sessions for this B noiiub, held 011 the (jth instant, before the Mayor. William G. George, gsq., and Thomas Edwards, E-q. Borough Magistrate, a well known offender, named Ann James, was charged with stealing a flannel petticoat, the property of S irab Mathias. The ptismier was apprehended at Aberayron, by P. S. Nicholas Davies, in consequence of information which he received, and he found the stolen pro- perty in her possession. The evidence to prove the robbery was considered conclusive, and the prisoner was committed for trial at the next assizes.— Mary James, of The Quay, Cargi !an, was nuxt charged with stealing some coal, the property of Mr. Divid Rowlands, coal merchant. Nume- rous robberies of coal have, for some rime past, been com- mitted at the Wharfs on Cardigan Quay. The prisoner was apprehended ahout half prist four o'c nek in the !I11J!II¡ng by P. C. Ihonns Williams, with a quantity of roal in her possession, which he saw her take bo n a wharf in the oc- cupHtiou of Mr. Rowlands, m nhioh place the prisoner had no Wusiness to go. The evidence t support the charge was satisfactory, and the prisoner wm: coaoiiitted for trial at the next assizes, the witnesses in both cases being bound over to prosecute. LOWER.

THE MOST POPULAR PLANT IN THE WORLD.—To- bacco, though not tool for man and beast, is ihe most extensively used of all vegetable productions, and next to extensively used of all vegetable productions, and next to salt the most generally consumed of nil productions what- ever, nnimal, vegetable, or mineral, on the face of the globe. In one form or other, but most commonly in that ol j stnokp, it is partaken "hy saint, (by savage und by sage." There is no climate, from the equator to the pole, in which it is not u-fd; theie is no nation that has declined adopting it, Europeans, except in the extreme East, are allowed to be the most moderate consumers, inconsequence of its being with them generally an article of import and of heavy taxa- tion; while ;hi-ir form of civilization agrees to refuse the luxury to the gentler sex. And, among Europeans, our own nation figures as one of the lowest in proportion to the population yet the official returns prove that the annual consumption here is 011 the average 16-80 ounces, or con- siderably more than a pounll weight to every mail, woman, and child, throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Moreover this consumption is greatly 011 the increase. Between the years 1821 and the increase was at the rate of about one ounce per head; during the next ten years it was somewhat less than an ounce; but from IS 11 to 1851, it was three ounces, making tin inert ase of 44 per cent, In proportion ta the population within the last 30 years. In Denmark, exclusive of :he Duchies, the average consumption in 18,;1, was nearly sevenly ounces per head. But this is nothing to what is used in warm countries. where tobacco is grown with facility, and free front taxation. If the population of the earth be taken at 1,00;) millions, and the consumption reckoned as equal to that of the kingdom of Denmark, or 70oz. per bend, the produce of the wlnde world will amount to near.y two millions of tons (1,!)53,125) a year. Seventy ounces a head. I <d course, t;ir exceeds the average consumption ot Europe, in most of tie c uin ries ol which tobacco, as belore stated, is heavily taxed. It is ceriain. however, on the other hand, that it fdls fur .short of the consumption of Asia, con'amirg the majority o: munkin I, where women and children smoke weil as men, and where the article is moreover untaxed. The vdue of the quantity thus reckoned at *2d a pound, amounts 10 above £ 0 sterling. Mornim/ Chrumcln. PKUFECT FREEDOM FROM COUGHS in ten minutes alter lI°t' is illsurt'd toy Or.

Sm DE LACY EVANS'S ''SKRJE I.NT."—It is remarked, saysa daily contemporary, thatamonjj the recent promotions of serjeants the name of the young soldier specially men- tioned by Sir De Licy Evans iu his despatch, lor bis steadi- ness and bravery on the 2,5th of October, does not appear. Serjeant Sullivan ha? been seven years in the 3:ith Regiment, and it is some proof of his high charnekr that for six of these yeirs lie has worn a Serjeant's stripes. II e bore tlte colours of the 30th at the Alma. On the 25tii ol October he oarticulai ly distinguished himself, and received the high honour of being named by his General in the report sent in to Lord Raglan. He has never missed a day's duty in the trenches, and he was with his regiment in the heat of Inker- man. Sur, ly it must be by some oversight th it this brave soldier, who is in every way eligible lor'a commission, has hern overlooked ? GENERAL SIR DE LACY EVANS.—On Saturday night a me.-ting of tht non-ccirimissioned officers and privates who were attached to the British Auxiliary Legion, that foiighr under Sir Lacy Evans in the Spanish war, assembled at the Ship Tavern, Wardo'ir-street, Soho, for the purpose of ex- pressing iheir almiration ot ihe secvices recently rendered by the gallant general in tha Cr.m-a, ntid their regret that be was una!)! through ill-health, to carry out the~ -doriaus triumphs that he had attained -at Alma, Balaklava, a7d In- kerman and to adopt an address tor presentation to him.

WHAT IS TO BKC IMS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.—It WOULD I lie seat of a iree city as it was once propo-ed to IL. 1'a' city has II), many ul van- tages belonging to it to be placed 1:1 such hands as m ist govern in that case. Constantinople is a place ot a very si' gul <r nature; netuly all military men agree in saying that hy Vf*ry little ex itioo it might be made almo-ti nnregn ible. Military men also say that ii is a place from whence attacks upon the' nation not too far distant from it could be made wiih the greatest advantage to (he assailants; whilst, Irom its situation, it could be only attacked with the greatest. disadvantage to the enemy. Constantinople. In fact, is the natural capital of an imm-nse district, within the limits of which exist all that is necessary for the material formation of a naval force f >r war or conmere- of ail" conceivable magnitude. Primeval forests furnish timber; mines furnish minerals, including copper, to any extent. There is 0:1 the very margin of ths sea—something under r. hundred miles trolll the city a coal mine known to be of many miles in extent, and of which the quality of the coal equals that of ailsend in Durham.^ The sod is so generally good that agricultural produce is in the highest degree easy to be obtained and at a low cost, and it is with other numerous valuable articles spre<d over Europe—Could it be lor the interest of Europe to disturb such a state of things, and re place it by one of constant change and war.? No. Witl, reintion to the Russian we cannot well doubt that he will cease to purs ie the^ attornment of the immense advantages that would attend him were he to become the master of the Turkish territories. We have to c .mbat for oar oivn interest -we have to sdow that England and France united are not to be defeated by tha Russians. Such a treaty as has been ilt onc" the object of the fittieswonid be a clefe,it. 1 hear with sorrow ot the intentions to ameliorate the state of the Turks by interventions of allies. Strangers are necessarily ignorant ot the real stale of other countries. They do mis- chief when they mean to do good; they are, perhaps with- out meaning it, guilty of pseudo philanthropy. Let the 1 urks be ItU entirely to themselves for the management of their own concerns if they attack those we are bound to defend, it will lequiie but a word from us to remedy such an evil. —Lord P'p/sol¡fi!ls Opinions respecting Peacc. PRUSIAN FtHR-ARMs.-Astandingcommittpeha-tbeen appointed in Berlin under the presidency of the Ptince of Prussia, for th? examination and testing of all improvements in fire-arms and projective implements of war, and all mat- ter9 connected therewith—whether foreign or indigeneons. it is to this important branch of the service that the War Department pays constant and deserved attention, under the direct eye of the King; und it A ill be seen, if ever the Prussian army should take the fieid.that her line battalions and field batteries will be equal, it th.y do not surpass. on the aggregate, those of all other armies, as regards arma- ment and field Equipment. The gradual introduction of 12-pounder instead of o pognuer foot batteries is deter- mined upon. At present, however, only four out of the twelve field batteries (ninety-six guns), attached to each corps d'armee, are of the former calible. The remainder consist of one heavy howitzer, three light horse, and lour heavy six-pounder foot companies. The nine corp 'd'armee furnish 864 field-pieces, the whole of which are now man- ned, horsed, and ready for work. The proportion of field- pieces to bayonets and^ sabres, as the effective army now stands on paper (say 135,000 men), is therefore enormous, being more than six per 1.000. Supposing reserves and urst-class Land webr to be called out, and the arlllv placed on its normal war fooling of 344,060, including garrisons- or s iy 3 )0,000 bayonet# and sabres for field work —the proportion would not fall far short of three guns per 1,000 at starting, and would exceed that number after a few weeks" campaigning had thinned the ranks. TilE FRENCH MORTARS.—A letter received in Paris from the French camp before Sebastopol has the following — Until the general chorus commences, one of our batteries, mounting ieii executes a solo, whkli cannot be well relished by the Russians, win on an average, receive 600 bombs per day, each mortar firing about sixty rounds. These projectiles have done considerable il jury in Sebas- j topol. The fire of that battery is also directed against the Garden Batteries, and h <s dismounted ten or twelve of the enemy's guns. The Rus<ian¡" however, have hitherto /'vg"n!ady repaired their ilie We have, besides, upwards of fifty mortals, and as many heavy guns, ready to open fire. RMVOI/J* OF THE ZOUAVES,—The reports of a mutiny among the Zouaves in the brought to Paris by tht! London joiirnals. have created a very painful sensation, i The st ry is ««» dount greatly exaggerated, but it is not j altogether without foundation. The notion of 400 men j havitig been sent 111 iions to Toulon is scouted as absurd, i General Canrobert would certainl}1 not find such a number! ol fetters in the whole French cunp.

PRINCE MENSCIIIKOFF'S BUTTON.—A very laughable iffair has juit happened, says tiie Post correspondent 111 tin- camp. An English officer, now a prisoner in Si bastopol, had a letter sent him Irom a young lady in England, to the effect that she hoped, when he took ,\fen.,chiko{f prisoner hat be would send her a button from his coat, for her to keep as a relic." The letter was yesterday forwarded by a i ,g of truce into Seha-uopol, wilh other letters for prisoners now in the ftuemy's hands. I'Iiis let,r fell <olf's own hands, ol course to be read ere delivered- Uj, coming 10 the above passage, he immediately cut a button rom bis co .t, and sent it out under a ti g 01 truce, to be conveyed to the lady, with a remark to the 11):¡owin; effect: — That he bad no idea yet of being taken piisonei; tun rattier than di-appoirit young lady of so simple a request, b would f'jlfii b r wish himself before (bat lime armed,"

The situation of an Englid, Prime Minister presents many_ anomalies. The office itself is not recognised py the Constitution—its powers 'ire i!l-<b*fined, and their extent depends more on the character of the hoi ler than on either law or tradition. According to received ideas, every metn- h-r of the Cabinet in a greater degree, every member ot Hie Ministry in a less degree, is responsible for the acts ol the df.,Iil," wi, whole. Only in dediuir wi;h a'tairs purely ilepattmental —and not in the important of these—ran this rule admit of relaxation. Tile budgets of Mr Gladstone, the India Bill of Sir Charles Wood, the Reform Bibs and Education Bills of Lord John Russell h-ive severally reflected cr,it or ciis- credit on the colleagues of thn-p Ministers. To judge, (he. wllit policy is likely to be pursued, we must bmk to the constitution of the Governm nt as a whole. Now ,yho are | the Ministers? With the exception ol Lord punuin; e. a very worthy Whig peer of third.ra:e abilities, supposed i to have retired from politics in 1852, and ivho now fids the j post of Minister of W;ir, we hive the Aberdeen Cabinet jover again. Nay, even the posts are not changed. Mr Gladstone remains to starve our troop's. Lord Clarendon tii conduct our diplotn ey, Sir James Graham to deliver hilarious speeches at Reform Club dinners, and to send line-of battle ships to the capture of forts near which nothing larger than a gun-boat can float. T-vo Ministers only are made scapegoats for the rest, nor have pains been spar»d to show the undiminished confidence which their more fortunate colleagues places in these. It is, we believe, solely the pr idence or the pride ol Lord Aberdeen which has precluded him from accepting a seat at the Council- board. The ex-Premier, condemned by the House of Com- mons, afraid to defend himself in the Lord*, execrated by the public, receives the highest honorary distinction which the Crown can bestow, and is earnestly pressed not so let such a trifle as a pai liameritarv censure stand in t!le w iy of his continuance in power. The Duke 01 Newcastle, that model martyr to taction, waits quieily until the return of Lord Dalhousie, when his unmerited sufferings are to be rewarded by the Vicerovalty of India. Does this look like the inauguration of anew era in politics? "Wait," say til" Misnisterialists, till you have seen our measures." Well, we do w lit hilt meantiine.we Judge the measures by the men. The late Cabinet, among its oiher peculiari- ties, was eminently departmental. The individual opinion, of its members were as marked as their dislike of the indi- vidual opinions of their colleagues. 'The Home office snubbed the'Treasury the Treasury retorted; the Admi- ralty attacked the Horse Guards; the Piesident of the Council qllHrpJled with the War-office the Finance Minister made his own bobby, from ivbicb he has not yet dismounted the President of the Board of Control carrie I an Indi« Bill which his secretary went about openly ridi c 11 ling the Home Secretary, wrote, on an average, two letters 11 we k, and passed his abundant leisure iï qu'zzing the Prime Minister the Prime M aster con- tinued to mu ter prophecies of peace, while his col leagues, amidst the cheers of Parliament, were vnuntin" the anticipated capture of S bistopol, and the humiliation ol Russia. It is too mueli to ask us 10 presuppose tile fusion of these discordant elements into a homogeneous executive merely because the idlest of all possible Home Secret tries has become the most promising of till possible IV-miers. As regards Lord Palmerst-m's colleagues, their position is not • asy to comprehend. It is folly, and worse than folic, to treat the conduct of the war as a matter for which Lord Aberdeen and ihe Duke of Newcastle are alone responsible. Either that conduct was approved hy the rest of the l ite Cibinet. or it was n it. It' not they hail, as honest men, no alternative except to resign —a step which Lord John Russell alone had the manliness to take, too Ive. Hit was so approved, the war must either he conducted on ihe same primipies >s hitherto —in which case the country will ratify and rep. at the vote n| Pailiament; or. by submitting to a pre. tied reversal ot their policy, Mr Gladstone and his friends will acknowledge tiie j i-u.-e of 1 he ct nsure passed upon them, and eonsequ"nt(y iheir own imwoi lhiness of a if )wt-r.

WO T-;GLII I Sly to the Palmerston Cabinet, first, do not vainly vt-nipt to serve two mid rs. No man can serve both German Princes and the English people. Their objects are so totally diverse. The German despo;s hereditary, 110: elected despots, and the E tiglish electors, are in perfect antagonism. Pliancy to the wishes of German Courts, however disguised the management, is detected at once hy our native common sense, and all England loathes it. P;tliierst,)ri desert l,is otiii,ioii of ii(it I)eitig the Minister of Austria, we tlléIV add of Saxe Coburg —but of England," he would excite even more indignation than Aberdeen. In /s case the nation would regard tlieuuelves escheated. He would clone his davs with that most de- graded of characters in the eyes of Englishman—a tunicoit for Court favour. The country will look fur quite an un German policy. No mercy whatever tor Russia, end not t-nueg for the State which diSTers as I ttle from it ji> policy ,3 i,,i iiiiiiie iio lo!iger (le(-Ii,,i:,g tti.- ,i(I ,f fit, bi-ave ij,es no more hesitation to avow ihat a Iree Poland is an essential 1'1 1111 hn1\ourah: peace; no further parleying with Austria, but a demand for deeds as well as Protocols alld Notes. Such a contrast to late proceedings would alone be worthy of what Engiand expects from Lord Palm-r^um. Next in the more immediately pressing matter;—let the press have io record something done, and dntie promptly. Let it be seen that we have a Cromwell at the War-office! who can write as ot old I am willing to show you the forms of respect, but I mean ro h iv« this business done." Let the first official who tur.s away business sent bun because "it is riot in his department lie forthwith cashiered; whoever does not get r/twe" what is ordered of him, let him be told that hi. dep-rtment is the streets, and not any branch of a War-office. Let every proved incompetent man, and there must be many such, be walked off at or.ee, and without compensation—let him think it, indeed, a favour that he is not the subject ot a Coroner's verdict. It is, however as- tonishing what one strong will would sonn effect. The great body of understrappers would be converted into new men in 48 hours. Patriotic tradesmen would be received with bows and inquiries, and thankful acceptance of their offers of service, as soon as as it wns known that instant dismissal was the penalty 01 official superciliousness and laziness. But, above all, let Lord Palmerston and Lord Panmure beware of covering aristocralical blunders and in- competency. Nothing can save their order in England from nit r prostration but the knife. Boards of nephews-, hrother..ill-iå\V, and the like, must be thoroughly weeded. Men of business heads and habits must come in. England has them ill ahundance. An honest Government has ample means to find arid test them, and it must do if. [Ministers have now a week to themselves for work. Let them do it and in another week or fortnight, die Crimea, and Vienna, and Berlin also, will begin to feel the difference, and the Press will have to commend, not to forbear.—S/ut. —

(o Xt p. r acre. I saw by a certain ex- pression 01 countenance, that be doubted the beriefi's of | deep drainage in strong soils; but he said, S.ppfhl> v.-e try one field. Well, we did try one field, the drains poured forth their volumes of water after rain, the surface was dty and easy to work, and the crop succt eded where it had before failed; ibis led to the drainage of other fields, and then came it covered yard or ifie sirre Th" result appeip s already—1 property more valuable to the landlord, and more marketable—more r munerative to the tenant — arj l certainly more useful to the country at large. The neighbouring farmers watched the operation, which I believe was not without its influence on their proceedings and sentiments. The farm was a small one of thirty.two acre-; I had previously removed a five-acre n.ood. and sixtv great oak pollards. The covered yard, with leed'ing plant's and conveniences, cost £ 105, with slated roof Former It- it was farmed at a loss-now it will be profitable. Therein I something very distressing in seeing men full of hope t.kiog | unimproved farms, and plunging into destruction; thee are I, tll,- o,ls oil (iii,ir ii ith a "Ah. j--aor fellow, a.few year> on that na,ty soil uiil settle him.' 1 m.ay be asked why I attach so much import- ance 10 drainage. Why you may as well ask me why 1 attach so much importance to '-iidilation, vitalor monetary. Stagnated water, or stagnated air, are as ruinous to the idanVs as tln-y would be to our own vitality. Fix a cork 111 the drainage hole of your flower-por, and you wii] soon have a practical illustration of my meaning. The sallow and bili lis plant (like many turnip crops I know of on ondrained land) will show by their expression what is denied to them in speech. This h riot the occasion to enter into a subterranean examination of gravity, capillary attraction, aeration, or filtration, much less of all those affectionate or repulsive interchanges, that turn air, water, and t'artttixtotnild for man and beast; but be assured circulation is vitality—stagnation death and ruin. It has been often .asked of me by townsmen, why so few farmets become bankrupt?" .and tiiey are apt to infer from this thai it is a very profitable occupation. 'The latv does not pte- vent it, because th.! mere purchas and sale of sheen in the market constitutes him a trader. Let me explain it; there are certain thin;rs of value in "very farm which you cannot seize, and which will defy the powers of the most alert sheriff's order. He cannot tarry off the hoeings, ploughing* and dril.ings, v getating seed's, juvenile seeds, juvenile plants, incorporated manures, and a seme of o-her invisible things that constitute '• a valuation," and which .seldom amounts to less than two years' rent, or two pounds per acre — Very often much more. Farming is in England too much of a ready-money bti-i- ness. You walk into 3 market and settle with the ready cash. But supposing jou have a complaisant banker, there is no concealing the declining stare of your exchequer; you cauiO hide stacks in drawer or make "dummy bullocks alld sOt'ep; tI!l're IS h.lrd!ya humpkin in th.. villa. who cannot take your exact financial measure.

No! the poor declining firmer has 110 chance n*' making a pocket," or obtaining a bankrupt's j allowance during the winding u;> of bis affairs. The whole i thing is simple and winds itself up—the unfortunate comes- mil penny less, i?!id to fake a bailiff's place at fifteen to twenty shillings a week. I have been painfully reminded of the unproiftableness "f hrining, by the innumerable i applications I have received for employment, from men who | bad (armed largely and deserved a better fate. I recently asked a valuer bow many farmers failed and lost their capital —whether more than fifty Ollt of one hundred did n'vi do so ? and he admitted ihat it was so. I may be asked I 111,At it w;is ,o. I ma why is turning so unprofitable. I reply because it is unim- j proved, or because there is no 'ablation br improvements.

LTME AS A FERTILIZER; Liine in n powdered condition is applied as a manure to lands that are redu?ed in the tsxture by the process of following, a 1 a preparation for green crops/or foi^aututrina! wheats, as it affords ills best opportunity of using both j the substances in contact and the period of the year a) so atrords the most leisure and convenience of procuring the lime and using it affeetualiy. The most general"and | best-informed opinions ascribe to lime the power of two j agencies in the soil, or the chemical and the mechanical. | The first says that lime, being a homogeneous body, will exercise a chemical action on all substances in contact, i for all bodies of simple constituents have an aptitude) to enter into combination, and the result will depend on the strength of the respective factions; that lime eserts an influence 011 fibrous vegetable matter, and forms with it a compost partly soluble iu water, and by this kind of; operation converts inert matter into a nutritious form j and that, in passing from the caustic to a mild state, it prepares soluble out of insoluble matter; and that ill a mild state it acts merely as an earthy ingredient that it corrodes animal and vegetable substances, renders some matters insoluble, acts us an antiseptic, and arrests equally the vinous and putrid fermentations, operates (injuriously on fresh substances, but is very efficacious in producing nutriment from decayed materials. By attracting carbonic acid gas, it supplies that element as fond to growing plants, as quick lime attracts five times its weight of aeriform matter, and thus forms a regular communication between the air and the plains, Bllt it may deprive the plants of the carbonic acid gas, and retard vegetation, as it attracts to itself that aeriform body. The most enlightened practicn) men, of the best experience suppose lime to act t'san alterative in rendering stiff'soils .ess adhesive, breaking the firm texture, and changing them into a state^more porous to the roots of plants, and more conducive to vegetable life and also as a stimulant, by exerting an influence on btlier substances in the soil, by converting them more readily it:to food, or by quicken- ing their acnon. The use of lime has hitherto received no assistances from physical or chem ical theory and the fanner yet applies it by custom and tashion, without any definite rule. The analysis of soils and limestoues has j not impai ted any cert lintv of proceeding either in the quantity or ihe mode of application, as the extremes of fertilliiy and barrenness have been shown by the compo- nent p u ts of fertile soils that have been examined. The action of thsminera] remains in doubt, both in the mode andamountoftheeffiaccy. An opinion may be hazarded, and is confirmed by a very strong IInalog-icnl prohability, that the benefit which lime confers on the land arises from the caloric, or the cause of heat which emanates from the lime, and which raises the tempera ure of the ground to a degree that is very favourable to vegetable life. No arguments are required (o show, nor any demon- stration to prove, the value of temperature for the support of every kind of organised life; experience has fully proved the value of paring and burning to consist in the temperature given to ihe soil by the flames of the burning; and the ashes have done little or no good when laid on pared ground where 110 burning had been performed, The benefit lasts till the temperature sinks by cooling, and then vanishes and the period of duration is long or short according to the power of the soil in imbibing and retaining the caloric, or cause of heat. It is well known that the value of lands has a large dependence on this property of the alluvial stratum—J. D., in the Mark Lane Express.

The order of the jli location Committee may be recalled, and then the authority of the council or vestry is to cease. There is an interpretation clause as to the meaning of the expression "borough" and "vestry." IMPORTANT 70 RELIEVING OFFICERS. —In this country the law has provided that no man shall starve but the neglect of officials in performing their duty, or sometimes their ignorance of that duty, it is to be feared that many poor, helpless, and wandering creatures suffer extreme distress. A relieving-ofticer is bound by law to relieve in kind, or to provide lodgings lor deslitute wandering poor. In the absence or of a reli< vmg officer, the overseer can, and is bound by law to administer temporaly relief. It the workhouse is distant or night coming on, an order for the house will not be considered by IlIw as tem- porary relief from the relieving officer to the pauper. Sir Robert Carden, nr the Mansion-house, last week, fined a relieving officcr 20s for neglecting fo relieve a poor creature in urgent distress. It is well for those concerned, relievit,g officers as well as paupers, lo be well acquainted with the law 011 this subject.
