Pour water hastily into a vessel with a narrow neck, little enters; pour gradually, and in small quantities, and the vessel is filled.-This illustrates the folly of teaching children too much at a time. If you wish to be happy, keep busy; idleuess is harder work than ploughing a good deal, There is more fun in swcatitlg an hour than there is in yawning a century. There is an essential manness in the wish to get the better of any one. The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself. In the tenth century, to eat out of the same plate, and drink out of the same cup, was considered a mark of gallantry, and the best possible understanding between a lady and a gentleman. Beauty of form does nut alone constitute beauty. Men love women who have rew or no persoal attractions. Such women, too, preserve the affections longer than pretty women-love that is hartl to grow is hard to die. Love that grows like a rnushroolll often savours like one, The following colloquy lately occurred at an eating-house in the States Now, waiter, what's to pay ? Waiter: Let me see. sir; what have you had, sir Diner: Three fish. Waiter Only brought up two, I think, sir, Diner: No, three; I had two mackerel, and one smelt. MISCONSTRUCTION.—There is no word or action but that may- be taken with twu hands; either with the right hand of charita- ble construction, or the sinister interpretation of malice and suspicion and all things so succeed as they are taken, To construe an evil action well, is but a pleasing and profitable deceit for myself but to misconstrue a good thing is a terrible wr0ng-to myself, the action and the author,-Bishop Hall.

TilE HUMANITY OF TUE MERay :\IONARCH.-Thp Duke would not Ipt the dragoons pursue and massacre (as Oldmixon calls them) Protestants. The Duke of Lauderdale's faction complained of this checking the dragoons. The same historian adds, that the Duke of York talked of Monmouth's expedition to Scotbnd as a courting the people there, anù their friends in England, by his sparing those who were left alive; and that Charles himself said to Monmouth, If I had been there, we would not havp had the trouble of prisoners." The Duke an- swered, 1 cannot kill men in cold blood, that's work only for butchers." The prisoners who promised to live peaceably were set at liberty the others, about 370, were transported to our plantations, but were all cast away at sea! The Duke of Lau- derdale's creatures pressed the keeping of the army some time in Scotland, with a design to have them cat it up; but the Duke of Monmouth sent home the militia and kept the troops under discipline, so that all the cuuntry was sensible he had pre- aerved them from ruin. The Duke asked the Kin;) to grant him an indemnity for what was passed, and liherty tù thecoveuanters to hold their meetings under the King's license but these softening measures fell with Monmouth, and rage and slaughter again reigned when the Duke or York obtained the government of Scotland. — Robert's Life of/he Duke of ¡Jf(N6moath,

However backward people may have been to commence saving, and however positive at first that nuthing can b.. saved, there has yet, we believe, been hardly any instance in which the cum- mencement of saving has been entered !II), that the person has not gone on adding to the fund, and making increased l'conomi- cal exertions; an-1 such, we are satisfied, will be the case in every instance, if persons will only make the tirst effort. Here we might stop, were it not that we fN.1 called upon b say something upon the important subject of the cclucatiulI ami training of your children, on rightly conducting which will depend not UIII., th.,ir welfare here, hat their happiness hereafter.* Commence early with your instruction. A mother is capable of teaching her child obedience, humility, cleanliness, and pro- priety, whilst it is yet almost an infant, and it is delightful to think that the first instructions can thus be communicated bv so tender auù natural a teacher. Remember that it is by com- hining affectionate tenderness with finnness in refusing what is improper, that yon secure your children's happiness: alld if they are l'arly trained to be docile and obedient, the future task will be comparatively easy. Education must, however, be always regarded but as the means to an end for all aClluirements are useless, unless they make us better ill our relations, as parents, children, husbands, wives, and unless they lead us to the practice uf that divine preeept of our religion, Thou shalt loye thy neighbour as th rs(' I f.' Let us Supp08e, then, that you have secured the benefits of a guorl eùucation for your children-that they have attended an infant, and afterwards an adult school-that they have been advanced ill the different branches of instruction, as far as is necessary for the pursuits in life to which they are destinetl- stiU, are you not called upon as parents tv take care of their moral tra;ning1 Is not something yet required of thuse tu whom an offspring has been given 1 Is there not danger, even after the best precepts have been imparted, that your children may risk. being corrupted by your own example ? If yuu suppose that your vices call be hidden from your children, you are greatly mistaken for the quickness of percep- tion in children enables them immediately to see through such deception. If, with the words Thou shalt not steal' in your mouth, you nevertheless overreach, or make use of anything not your own, or take undue advantage of others, you are practically teaching your chilùren to be dishonest. Can you expect them to have a hurror of drunkenness if they ever see vou drunk, or if tippling is talked of by you as an object 0:' graÚfication! If you encourage your child by promises to confess a fault, and afterwarùs punish him for it, do you not pradically discourage his telling the truth ? Or if you hold that nothing is to be told that can injure your own interests, and say Rememher not tù tell,' or You must not say so and so,' can you expect that your child will not lie whenever it suits his own purpose ? If you are passionate and intemperate in your language, overbear- ing or insolent, will not your children be infected by your example? And are you not crushing in the bud the truly Christian qualities of gentleness, forbearance, and charity ? It has been well said that. drunkenness expels reason, ùis- tempers the body, inflames the blood, impairs the memory, is a thief to the purse, a bpggar's compauion, a wife's woe, and children's sorrow.' You must abstain from this vice altogether if you wish tù train your children up to a proper fulfilment of their duties here, and to secure their eternal happiness hereafter. There is yet one other subject so closely interwoven with your worldly welfare, that, before concluding, we might slightly touch upon-we mean marriage. The necessity of consideration before engaging in so important a contract as that of marriage, is self-evident; and yet how many hasten to become united for life without at all considering the consequence! In declaring marriage honourable, it is most certain that Scripture does not countenance the wickedness and folly of entailing strife, sorrow, sickness, and distress upon ourselves and our offspring-on the contrary, it supposes the married state to be one of purity, affection, awl increased happine.88 in all the relations of life. llow common is it to 3ee two individuals marry, and brin" beings into the world, without the slightest provision for thei; support, and whose subsistence, from the very commencement of their union, depends wholly on resources which sickness and a thousand accidents might in an instant de:stroy! Such persons may shelter themselves under the plea. of trusting to Providence; but Providence has given us reason for the regula- tion of our conduct; and to neglect the aùmonitions of reason, is to set Providence at defiance. An(i.vi1l the Deity then work a miracle in our favour, to reward us for our folly ? h it a proper reliance on Providence to descend to the level of irra- tional beings, and ca8t our offspring upon the world with as little consideration about their future wellbeing as the ostrich shows when she drops her egg into the sand. andle,lVes it to be hatched by the sun ? It i3 very certain that he who becomes a fathn without any prospect uf keeping his children from the miseries of want and beggary, is guilty of a grievou3 sin and misdemeanour. ♦ AGRICULTURAL REPORT FúR JULY. The weather of this month, taken as a whole, hai been ex- tremely propitious for the wheat crop, in nearly every porti.1ll of the United Kingdom though, from the ab3ence of that quantity of moisture almost indispensably necessary for barley, oats, beans. and peas. we regret to state that spring corn in general has not progressed very satisfactorily. In the forward districts, as well as in some of the midlauJ and northern dis- tricts, the cutting of wheat has been commenced under favour- able auspices; yet. as might be expected, only a very small quantity has been secured. However, new wheat was on sale in some markets prior to the 25th. in, comparatively speaking, good condition. It would he somewhat premature for us to offer a decided opinion ag to the actual produce of this year's wheats but we may observe that, frum what we have seen, a full ave- rage crop is likely to be obtained in almost every county. So far, this is very gratifying; would that prices could induce us to offer the same remark. The influence of the new Corn-law — which we were told would have very little effect upon value-is now beginning to be severely felt, The immense quantities of foreign wheats lately pressing upon our markets have caused unusual heaviness to prevail in the demand for those of home produce, which, since the beginning of the present year, have fallen in Mark-lane not less than eighteen shillings per quarter. Where this downward tenùency is to stop we are at a loss to determine; but this we may say, that so long as our markets continue to be inundated with foreign produce, and should the weather prove fine for the ingathering of the crops, even lower prices, looking to the Important fact that most of our large millers have lately purchased immense quantities of United States and Canadian dour (which have sold at much lower prices than that of home-made), at extremely low figures, and thereby supplied their actual wants-may be looked forward to, As to the crop of barley, we conceive it will be barely an average one; and the same remarks may be applied to beans. Peas will, undoubtedly, be a short crop, though their quality may prove equal to that of former years. In all quarters the crop of hay-which is now nearly secured -has turned out exceedingly good, Our markets have, conse- quently, beoen well supplied with new meadow and clover, which have sold at low rates. Taken as a whole, the weather has been very favourable, bath for cutting and stacking. The stocks of old hay on most farms are large. From most quarters, the accounts which have come to hand relative to the potato crop are somewhat unfavourable. As was the case last season, they are, we COllceive ..reatly exaggerated; yet it is almost placed beyond a doubt. from the numerous tieids we have inspected, and the samples we have already seen, th3.t the disease is sprcadil1¡;, -Farmer's NEWEST LONDON AND PARIS FASHIONS FOR.

RlJs3C11 informed the house that the Secretary at War had communicated wilh the Commander-in-Chief wilh resppct 10 corporeal punishments ill the army. and that the Commander-in-Chief was now preparing measures, not to abolish such punishments, but to regulate the exercise of them lie hoped that those hon. gentlemen who had given notices of oiotion upon the suhjecI would postpone them until tbe pro- jected measure should bave beeu made known 10 Parliament. I In repiy to a questiou from Mr. Williams as to whether any change was to luke place in similar ptmisbments in the navy, Lord J. Russell uid he had not been as yet in communica- tion witb the naval allthorities upon the sl4bject, and was, therefore, unable to answer tbe question. On the order of the day fur going iuto committee of ways and means on the sugar duties, Mr. Spooner entered iuto an explanation of tbe reasons which influeuced hilo In supporting the proposition of the government. Sir 11. Inglis availed himself of the opportunily of thlOwing the responsibility, as respected the colonial interests as well as tbe higher interests of humanity, upon those who, in defiance alike of ODe and the other. had proposed, and were likely to carry, the present measure. Tbe house then went iuto committee, and The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved his resolutions. Mr. Barkly said the conduct of tbe Government seemed to imply that anything in future might be gained by agilation an,1 pODitlar clamour. Sir J. K. Ufiii said that tlw packet whidl would leave this day for the West indies would carry to those colonies the most gloomy intelligence. He was of opillion that the Go- vernment was guilty of IInpardonable baste in bringing for- ward tbe present measure, Mr. GOlllburn did not share in the gloomy presages indlllged in by the previolls speakers as likely to result from thh mea- sure. He was himself largply interested iu West ludia property, and he by no means de-poudcd. On the contrary, he \Vo,Jld relax no effJrts 10 improve the property as well as the conditiou of thase who were dependent opou him in the colony. After some conversation, in which Dr. Bowring, Mr. Borth- wick, and Mr, Hume took part, Lord J. Hussell expressed his gratification at the stale.lIcnt of ,\1r. Goulburn, and hoped bis example would be generally followed by the West Indian proprietors. Other scales of duties had been suggested by various hon. members, but he thought, after careful consideration, that those proposed hy the Government were the besl, aud be hoped they would receive the sallction of Parliament. The resolutions were then agreed 10, the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought lip on Monday, On thf, order for going inlo committee of s!lj);.>ly, 1\Ir.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT "TO ASSASSINATE LOUIS PHILIPPE.^—We regret having to record that another of those diabolical attempts which have too fre- quently disgraced the name of Frenchmen, and the history of France, was made 00 Wednesday evening week, on tbe life of His Majesty King Louis Philippe. On Wedul's- day eveoing week, at half-past Keven o'clock, as the King, Queen, and Royal Family preseated themselves on the balcony of the Tuilleries, during the performance of tbe cllncert whicb was taking place in celebration of the Three Glorious Days, two pistol-shots were fired at His Majesty. The villain, mixing in the crowd, suddenly drew from his breast a long pistol, 1tnd immediately fired at the King, but providentially without effect. The man had no time to elfect his escape, for no sooner wai the re- porl heard tbao be was immediately seized by tbe by- standers, and conveyed away in safe custody. The con- duct of the King 00 tbe occasion was admirable. With his proverbial quick perception he inlltantly distinguished the assassin, ami with energy pointed him out for seizure. The miscreant might have escaped otherwise, for nobody could persuade themselves that a shot had been med. The assassin is evidently an imbecile, and wouid have a good chance of escaping capital Plloishment on that ground, but for an insinuation which Government must in its own defence prove groundless by sending the wretched man to the scaffold. He could not have expected to succeed. He was as distant from the King as from the pathway on one sid" of Portland-place to the third story window of a house on the opposite side. His weapoa was, moreover, a merc toy-a pocket pistol of four or five inches in length. The King was for a moment very angry, but His Majesty's kind heart and excellent head may operate ill favour of the accused, whose fate is for the reason ahove given in the hands of Ministers. That the King felt indignant, and the Queen and Royal family alarmed is certaiu, but their appearance to-day, I am told was calm. Their Majesties left Eu this morning, and lhe Duke and Duchess of Auruale with perfect unconcern ao:1 the least posliible delay, by the Northern Railroad for Cautilly. Tile accounts pubiishetl by the ministerial papers are precisely confirmatory of the above, The only new fact is supplied by the Epoque, which gives the following aaecdole: The assassin, who resides at No. S, in the rue de Limoges, in the ;.larais, declared, in his first interrogatory, that he was not actuated by any motive of political or private vengeance. The de- sire of pulling an end to a miserable life, anti to be talked of, wasl he said, his o'lly motive. He declared, besides, that lie haJ fur a month past eotertalued the design that he executed on Wednesday, aud that, 00 the 30th ult., wùen he was guard over. the. colours, he was only prevented from accomplishing It by the consideration of the dishonour that might fall on the company of tbe Natiulul Guard to which he belon¡{ed. M. Guizot was overtaken at St. Germain by an estafeltel an- ooiJncing to him the new attempt upoo the King. He immetliately returned to Neuiily, where he was recPlVed by the King and Royal Family. At halt-past 12 o'clock he came back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The following eulogium on the King of the French was proba- bly in type at the moment his precious lite was eXJlosed to the seveuth attempt to assassinate him. It IS trom, the Journal des /Jébats Sixteptl years have passed since a legitimate revolution overthrew a throne w 1!I,ch had ceased to respect the laws. France is celebrating this immortal anniversary in tile midst of peace, order, public security, and liberty, attended with a degree ot prosperity bidlerto unknown. To whom does she owe these dearly- purchased blelisintTs She knows full well that she owes them above all to the King whom she has chosen hy her sovereign witi to that liberal and wise King who has known how to comprehend all the ideas of bis times; to that courageous King who has twenty times exposed his lile in stemming the torrent of new revolutions; to that devoted King who has always identified his own interests wllh those ot his country. She owes thew also to that great government party which, in the midst lit numerous vicissitudes, bas always beeu found at its station at cntical moments; to that party of moderate and enlightened men who have always held with temper and judgment an equal lJalaoce between order aud liberty, and bave thus ensured to the people the tranquil and entire possession ot the tns- fitations lor which tiiey fought.

SPAIN. Letters from Seville annonnced that the Captain-General left. on th" preceding uight for the pro- vince of Huelva, and that he was to establish his iiead- qTi''ers at C-»rro. On the 10th a battalion ot the garrison of Cadiz was ordered to marc!) immediately lor Huelva, and report staled at Seville that the force about to be sta- tioned on the Portuguese frontier would amount, to 30,0)0 men. General Villalonga, Captain-General of Galiicia, who had repaired to Oreose, was directed to cover the line from Guard a to Verin.

ITALY. — DEATH OF THE F.X-KING OF HOI.LAXD.— A letter from Legliorn,of the 25th alt., states:— Prince Ljuis Bonaparte (Count of Saint Leu), ex-King of Holhnrl, died thi" IIJllrning at ollr town. He was struck with apoplexy in the morning, after which he sunk into a sort of lethargy, and expired without a struggle in his sixty-eighth year. The Prince had lived of late years .in the retirement of private life, without taking any share in political intrigues. The only person present at the death of the ex-King of Holland was a young man whom he had educated, and who never left his side. A courier Was immediately despatched to Florence to the Prince de Montfort. Tho contents of his will are not known his fortune was but small. not exceeding two or three thousand pounds a year. The only living brother of Napoleon is now the Prince de Montfort, ex-King of Westphalia, who is in his sixty-second year. EFFECTS OF THE PAPAL AMNESTY. A Frankfort journal states that by the late amnesty of the Pope, no less than G,000 persons were enabled to return to their homes. At Rome alone about 900 persons were set at liberty. Letters from Rome of the 20th ultimo announce the nomination of Cardinal Gizzi as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and president of the administration. After the amnes'y this is the surest pledge that Pius IX. could give of the wise and paternal intentions that animate him. AMEH.ICA.-The Royal mail steamship Britannia arrived at Liverpool on Friday evening. The unusual duration of the voyage arose from the prevalence of heavy fogs during the run between Boston and Halifax and, consequently, from the latter port we have advices to the 20th ult., inclusive, being two days later than usual. Our advices from New York by this arrival extend to the 15th, and from Washington to the 14th ult., inclusive. The Tariff Bill had made little progress.—The intelli- gence received from the southern frontier states that no forward movement had yet been made by the American army. The Mexican forces were understood to be con- centrating near Monterey. Mejia was said to be in com- mand, but rumours are mentioned that Paredes was marching towards the frontiers with a considerable force, the treasury having been enriched by large contributions from the Mexican Churches, and from a private indivi- dual. These are, however, unauthenticated. Mean- while the expedition under Brigadier-General Kearney had left Fort Leavenworth en route against New Mexico. The force numbered 2,500 men. The California expedi- tion, preparing in New York, was almost rea-dy to leave. We have no further intelligence from Mexico. The re- volt of Guadalaxara is stated, however, to be part of a concerted and universal movement throughout the repub- lic. The plan" is stated, also, to have been prepared by Santa Anna himself; and reports were mentioned as prevailing in New York, that the ex-President had deter- mined to leave Havannah for Mexico about the 10th ult. -Our accounts from Canada are unimportant.

We apprehend no difficulty in collecting this amount, and we trust that those who wish to see the monument a fitting memurial to the undaunted valour and distinguished bravery of Picton, and also worthy of the country which gave him birth, will without delay further their subscrip- tions to either of the Carmarthen Banks, who have kindly consented to receive the same. Carmarthen Journal. A PLEA FOU THE HEDGEHOG, OWL, &C,— Somer- setshire agriculturist writes, The peas have this season been very much injured by slugs, which have of late been very numerous; they are of the kind which form le( 'l'lli9 the principal food of the hedgehog. This perfectly in- nocent and useful animal is still killed and hunted wherever it is met and, strange to say, the stupid and absurd charge against it, that it sucks cows, is stilt brought forward as an excuse for the cruelty practised It will be well for the fanner to consider whether it will be not worth his while to throw due protection over these useful animals, as well as the kestrel, hawk, and owl, killed as they are for the fancied injury they may inflict on a few young hares, and other young game i which placed against their useful services in destroying mice admits of no comparison. All these birds have of late years lessened in number, and the injury we receive from the mice has proportionably increased. The wheat and beans sown are not eaten but cariied away in heaps; this is the case with other corn and the peas this year planted have suffered from the same cause. I wish those employed in cultivation would investigate the useful purpose fulfilled by the inhabitants of the hedge, &c., as natural guardians of our crops, and then I think the wanton and useless destructions of them would cease." Lord John Russell has given £ 100 to the Cobden tes- 'im >nia!. of and taxes on Thursday :ssued notices. that hawkers, pedlars, and itinerant I eaters not having their name and address in italics all some conspicuous part of their bundle or pack, will, on detection, be liable to a fine of forty pounds.

THE IRON TRADE IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—Since last quarter-day prices have been fully sustained, and with increased prospects of an abundant trade for some time to come. Orders are still daily arriving faster than they can be executed, owing to the quantity required and the difficulty of keeping the men at work. The heat has again become intense, and it is impossible for the pudlers and others engaged at the furnaces to work the ordinary hours of labour. In addition to some further railway contracts thrown into the market, the merchants have lately received good foreign orders. Bar iron is in demand for some of the colonies, and shipments to a considerable extent are being made.—The copper trade is in a satisfactory state. SLEEP.—The Poet Young sa) s, "Sleep is great Nature's second course-the balm of hurt minds." Johnson says, "It is the parenthesis of human woe." Sleep being thus appreciated by mankind, how desirous ought we to be that all should tranquilly enjoy "sweet repose," the ge- neral obstruction to which is through an unhealthy action of the liver or other viscera. A little attention to the "young disease," by having recourse to a mild aperient, often produces the most salutary effect, and for such purpose Frampton's Pill of Health stands prominent in public opinion. REPORTED CHOLERA IN THE METROPOLIS.—Under this head there appeared in Friday's papers a letter which the Lord Mayorhad directed to be addressed to the Chief Clerk of the New River Company, suggesting the pro- priety of letting out water during the night, so as to tho- roughly flush and clear the several gullies, drains, &c. In weather like the present, and perhaps at all times, it is most desirable that the gullies and drains should be tho- roughly cleansed but the thing might have been quietly done without announcing, on the authority of Sir Peter Laurie, that cholera had made its appearance. The authority of competent medical men would have been more to the purpose indeed, it was the only authority upon which the Chief Magistrate should venture to make such an announcement, the effect of which must be to create much alarm and anxiety. That the English cho- lera, which always prevails more or less at this season of the year, is now prevailing, and in an aggravated form, we do not deny; but we are happy to add, that though aggravated, the cases are rare in which it has not yielded to the usual treatment, while as to Asiatic cholera, from all we can learn, there has been no case of so decided a character as to justify the assertion that this dreadful disease has really re-appeared among m. Meanwhile, it will be obviously prudent to adopt every necessary pre- emtion, as to ventilation, cleanliness, diet, &c., which will be sure to mitigate its severity should we be unfor- tunately visited by it. It will be seen by what passed in the House of Lords Friday night, that there is nothing in the above remarks which is not fully borne out by the facts of the case. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.—The landlady of the Barley Mow public-house, Spalding (a buxom widow of about 40), had been courted by a knight of the lap-stone for several weeks past, a resident of the Double-street, and it was expected the two affectionates were about to take each other for better or worse. On Tuesday last a brother of the groom elect, from a distant part of the kingdom, paid a visit to the Udy, with a view to give his opinion as to the choice of his brother, when he was so enchanted with the charms of the fair one, that he hesitated not to make proposals, and, being accepted, by four o'clock the same afternoon they started en route for Rutlandshire to have the marriage consummated to the no small chagrin of the cordwainer. — Lincolnshire Chronicle. THE CHURCH AND THE LABOURER.—A recent trait of good feeling among a class little understood, and often harshly condemned, deserves, we think, passing record at our hands. The Clenn-man at Kirton had a portion of his glebe this year in wheat. Whennearlyripea body of labourers working on a neighbouring farm sent him this message: We see, Sir, that your corn is nearly ready, and we are glad to see it looks well; but we don't hear who is to cut it. Now weshmtld like to cut it; and, if you'll give us leave, we will come down some evening, after hours and when the day's work is done, and reap it for you." Assent was readily given; and on two evenings—"after hours"—a band of ten or twelve labourers, true to their word, came down to the glebe, set to work with a will, and very speedily put the crop in sheaf.—Ipswich Journal. BEDFORDSHIRE.—CONVICTION OF A HATE-KEEPER FOR DEMANDING TOLL FROM A POLICE-OFFICER. — H. North, tollgate-keeper, was summoned by Mr. Young, superintendent of the Woburn division of Police, charged with unlawfully demanding and taking 4%.1, as toll from him, he being exempt utrier the provisions of the Act 3 and 4 Vic., c. 88, s. 1. The complainant stated that he was passing through Clipston toll-bar; he had an indi- vidual riding with bim the defendant demanded and took toll, notwithstanding he claimed his exemption. The defendant said he always understood that if the police had anybody riding with them, they were as liable to toll as other people otherwise they could drive whom they pleased about the country. The bench said that the vehicle was exempt from toll while on police service. It clearly was on police service, because it was carrying Mr. Young round his division, and it would be imprudent at all times for officers to be obliged to explain to tollgate- keepers the object they might have in view by saying who it was was riding with them. Captain Bonltbee, the chief constable, said a case had been submitted for the opinion of Mr. Sergeant Byles, who expressed him- self thus: "That where a chief constable rode in his carriage to the county town on police business and sent his carriage back with his two sisters in it, that it was exempt from toll, because it was used by him in the ser- vice of the police in goiug, and must necessarily return." The object sought in this instance was not the infliction of a penalty, but merely to set the matter at rest. The Bench ultimately convicted the defendant in the penalty of Is., and 17s. Gd. costs. The case seemed to excite a great deal of interest among toll-collectors, several of whom were present. THE BEST MANURE.—But there is a manure which, when properly managed, is of greater importance to the Irish farmer than any derived from a foreign and uncertain source—that is, farm-yard manure. Chemical examination teaches us, that in this we have ail the elements necessary to vegetable life; nature always producing offal enough to preserve her power of reproduction unimpaired, when her supplies are properly husbanded by man. By mixing the waste straw of the farm-yard with the excretions of ani- mals, we form a mixture containing all the materials which our crops can require for their development. In the de- composed stalks of plants we have silica, in a state capable of being taken up by corn and grasses, while the excre- ments of man contain a rich supply ot phosphates; and urine furnishes, by its decomposition, abundance of ammo- nia, and other valuable principles. A mixture so prepared will, by the economical farmer, be considered as superior to guaoo, for that substance does not contain all the ele- ments which plants require for their food. If you neglect the manure lying at your own doors, you are neglecting the true remedy provided by nature herself lor restoring the fertility of the soil; and when you are informed that, with every pound of ammonia which escapes from a m t- nure heap, OOlbs. of corn, and with every pound of urine which we allow to waste, lib. of wheat might be pro- duced, you will, I trust, be convinced that it is your interest to adopt some means for their preservation.—Hodge's Lecture on Agricultural Chemistry. MUNTZ'S YELLOW METAL, FOR SHEATHING SHIPS, &C.—JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL, JULY 25, 31.—The judicial committee assembled on Saturday, to hear further evidence with respect to Mr. Muntz's patent for copper sheathing, applicable to the bottom of ships. The sheathing is deemed to be vastly superior to any other hitherto made, particularly when shipa are in tropical climates, where vessels are so apt to be injured by barnacles. The shedhing in question is described as being proof against any such damage. Three witnesses only were examined to-day—viz.:—one of Mr. Muntz's sons, Mr. Staines, a clerk in the establishment, and Mr James, the accountant, of Birmingham, who was a wit- ness on behalf of Mr. John Attwood, M.P., as to the accuracy of that gentleman's accounts in the lon<>- con- tinued cause of Small v. Attwood." These witnesses were called to show that the accounts delivered in by Mr. Muntz, as regarded the profits which he had hitherto received from the patent, were accurately set forth. The inference intended to be drawn thence from was, that they were by no means sufficiently remunerating, con- sidering the vast expense to which he had been put, and the large outlay of capital required. These witnesses underwent a stringent cross-examination by the counsel for the parties on the other side, who opposed the appli- cation for an extension of the patent. In consequence of Lord Brougham having a pressing engagement which required him to be elsewhere, the judicial committee rose at half-past one by reason of which, a portion of the evidence that was intended to be laid before their lord- ships could not be produced -FRIDAY.—The commit- tee again assembled some witnesses were examined by Sir F. Thesiger, for Mr. Muntz and Mr. Schofield, of Birmingham, confirmed their testimony generally. Lord Brougnam gave judgment; he eulogised Mr. Muntz's ingenuity and skill in producing so greatly superior an article for the sheathing of ships, by the combination of metals (copper and zinc) which forms the subject of his patents; but their lordships, taking the amount of pro- tits since the patent, as £ 08,000, were bound to consider that sum sufficiently remunerative besides which, Mr. Muntz, from his high character and large connections, would have great advantages over any other parties who might be disposed to enter into the business. By this decision, of course, there is an end of the patent. < .f Lord Worsley, M.P., has declined to attend the grand dinner to be given to Lord George Bentinck, at Lynn. stating, as his reason, that "although he thought it his duty to vote against the bill to alt T the corn law, he should be very unwilling by attending the dinner to let it be supposed that .he belonged to the party of which his noble friend Lord George Bentinck is the leader." LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOUNG FE. MALES.—On Friday, the eleventh annual meeting of the supporters of this society, the object of which is ex- plained in its title, wa3 held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, Luke James Hansard, Msq., in the i-hair. After 1\11 address from the Chairman, in which he urged the necessity for legislative measures for tlie pro- tection of females, and without which the efforts of the society would prove almost useless, J, B. Talbot, Esq" the secretary, read the report. It stated that the receipts of the society amounted during the year, to £I,f)(jlj, and the expenditure iu the maintenance of fifty-three females, who had been rescued from a life ot' shame, aud the pun- ishment of seventy-five keepers of improper houses, to a sum less by £ 13. Since the establishment of the society, one hundred awl ninety-five improper houses had beeu suppressed, and nearly four hundred girls, under the age of fifteen, provided with respectable situations. Ii. F. Richardson, Esq., in moving the adoption of the Report, suggested, that when the occupiers of houses were in- dicted, the landlords, however hi'gh in society they might rank, should be included iu the indictment, i'he Report was adopted, after which it was resolved that an appli- cation should be made to his- lloyal Highness Prince Alh-rt to patronise the soeidy. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.
