A BALLAD. (INSCRIBED TO LORD PALMERSTON ) In Spain there lived a noble chiof, Not unallied to fame He claimed a title to the Crown, And Carlos was his name. But his demands, or jnst or no, Is not for me to tel! F'.)o,ug!i, the Queen had long time tried Thiš Carlos to expel. And many a bloody tiilit was fought, Atirt much she strained the laws BUT all IK i- strength could not prevail, tle. still maintained his cause. In sad despair, at last, she cricù- lis vain to hope" success, "This rebel Prince b'1t spurns our rule, And fears our armies less. It An ambassage in haste we'J1 send To Britain's friendly land Our old ally"can nc'ir refuse "to lend a helping hantl." Then warlike stores of every kind Anon to Spain were sped. And twice ten thousand "ritish men Bv luckless Evans led. Alas! what man his fate can read? Xhe Don arotllüi his clan-- One half he killed, the rest he thrashed To England tack again. And then all England raised a cry, And none conid credit g,ain, Who told how conquered Britons had Been driven out of Spain." U For Briton's son in Spain." they said, Had ne'er in fight been foiled And jic'.cr from foreign land returned With British honour.s.oiled." Then Palmerston was*<<orely grieved, And sore his colleagues, too Say they, Since war will not succeed, We'll tr.y. what.fraud .can do." A chief chert t-as in Cards'' band W'b ofrr men Maroto caTi A cruel, bloody villain he, And treacherous withal. Says Patmerstbh, ''Let's sound this man, The means; rhrr'-baste', the end will still Be worth iti weight in gold." And many a midnight dirk was bared, And many a chieftain fell; And"ftVa'n'y midnight groan was heard, Bnt nOM the C'ahe coùld tell: The orphan's cry, the widow's tear, The monster stiH withstood. The mu 'd'rous hand was still upheld To take bis fin of blood. The fatal tragedy complete. The wretch iiis chief betrayed "fwas noble blood the traitor spilt, For honest faith 'twas paid.

Farewell, alas! if fame speak true, The charms of British story Thy sun has sunk—thy laurels dead Farewell all British glory

NEW PATENT. Charles Schaf hault, Cornhill, city of London, an improved method of smelting copper ore: Septem- ber ".)tli.-To overcome the reat difficulty of cal- cining, the copper ore is mixed with quick lime, as one would make mortar, and salt or chloride of sodium is introduced to prevent the development of smoke, as well as to facilitate the process of smelting. To five portions of copper ore, put two and a-half of quick lime, and one of salt. The mixture of copper ore, &c., is put into the trough, which conveys it to the heated surfaee of the smelting furnace, and to prevent the escape of noxious particles, the damper is pressed, and the draught doors are closed thus compelling the at- mospheric air to pass the chamber of the heated copper, and carry with it the noxious particle*, to mix with the steam and water under the furnace; the vapour then escapes through another passage, to be condensed. Sea sand with shells in it, or anthracite or stone- coal, should be thrown on the oria, Or slack, until it becomes sufficiently selicated, and allows the copper to sink. The mass of red-hot copper is then allowed to run into the water under the furnace, where it is washed.

STEAM-VESSEL ACCIDENTS. The following plan is recommended in the Re- port of the Commissioners on Steam Vessel Acci- dents," to prevent the occurrence of collisions A distinguishing sound should be provided on board steam-vessels, as an alarm, to notice their proximity to other vessels at night, on occasion-, but more particularly during fogs or thick weather, when lights can only be seen on a very near ap- proach. The want of such regulation is alluded to by several of our correspondents, and a means is also suggested for accomplishing the end. Sailing vessels are generally provided with some instru- ment for making a noise, to which resort is had when circumstances require it-viz., bells, horns, gongs, &c. A steam vessel carries with it an agent more powerful than any of these contrivances, and one which could not fail in notifying its approach, distinctively from every class of vessel, and from a much greater distance than bells, &c.-a circum- stance of no slight consequence, when the greater velocity of a steamer is considered. The steam- whistle in common use attached to locomotive en- gines, if applied to the boiler of a steam-vessel, would completely fulfil the desired end. All that is required is a small pipe opening into the steam- chest, and brought up on deck, with the whistle on the top of it, in a convenient position to be used when the commander may order -it. By simply turning the handle of a cock, a prolonged sound is produced, or a stioCessioc of sounds, on opening and shutting the cock at short intervals. The sound from the whistle of a locomotive engine has frequently been heard more than two miles. We have made particular inquiries as to the degree of sound producible with low-pressure,compared with bi;kh-pressure steam, and learn that this whistle ,;tlL may be constructed so as to be equally as effective with the one as with the other. WORCESTEK FESTIVAL.—The gathering of the choirs of Hereford, Gloucester, and Worcester took place at the latter place last week, being the 116th meeting. The Worcester Journal says:—Jt ili with sincere regret we have to state that notwithstanding the great exertions which were made to reuder the meeting attractive, the atteudauce in the early part of Ibe Festival was so thin, tlant the Stewards will in- cur the whole of their liabilities, and the Guarantee Fund will have to be drawn upon to a very consider. able extent. GEORGE THE THIRD when repairing his palace at Kew, one of the workmen was particularly no- ticed by his Majesty. One Monday morning the King went as usual to watch the progress of the work, and not seeing the man in his usual place, he,inquired the reason of his absence. He was at first answered evasively by the workman at last, however, they aqknowledged that not having been able to comptet.e a particular job on the Saturday mght, they had returned to finish it on the Sunday morning", which this man refusing to dp, he had been dismissed from the emptoyment. Send for him back immediately," said the King "the man who refuses to do his ordinary vvork-on the Lord's- day is the man for me." IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—Professor Graham at the meeting of the British Association, made an important practical suggestion, whih may be the means of saving many lives. Heobttfrved that the after damp, orcarbonic acid, left in the atmosphere of a mine after an explosion, is supposed to'occa- aion. ill maoynsranoes a greater loss of Itte than the explosion; at the same time it renders assist- ance impracticable. In many cases the oxygen of the air is not exhausted by the explosion, although from the presence of 5 to 10 per cent. of carbonic acid it is rendered irrespirable. The atmosphere will be rendered respirable by withdrawing car- bonic acid, and he suggested a method by which this might be effected. He found that a mixture of Slaked lime and pounded Glauber's salts in equal proportions, has a singular avidity for carbonic acid, and that air might be completely purified from that deleterious gas by inh-aling it through a cushion of not more than an inch in thickness, filled with that mixture, which could be done with- out difficulty. This lime filter would be an addi- tional source of security wherever the safety lamp is necessary, and it should be invariably employed bjr persons wfco descend into a mine to afford assist- ance to the sufferers.

BANK OF EGLAD. The half-yearly meetinirof the proprietors of Bank Stock was held on Thursday, the }9th instaut, for the purpose of declaring a dividend, and fbr the di»pat<?h of other business. SirJ. R. REID, Bart., >n the chair. The meeting was fully attended, and the proceed- ings were quite an anomaly in banking affairs^ fin- ilis discussion soon ran hito a warm and animated debate upon ecclesiastical matters, in: cbnsequence of a gentleman havinsr proposed a vote of Censure upon the board of directors for their coft flitet. ill voting the sum of £ 500 towards the building of churches without the sanction of the proprietary. For some time no one could be found to second it; hut when at length a gentleman came forward for rhai purpose, the question was met by an amnr1- ment declaratory 01 confidence in and approbation of 'he conduct Of the directors but, as this would have shown the real state of division of opinion amongst the court, a gentleman tvisely proposed that the previous question should be moved'. H >«•- eier, all was put an eud to by the seconder of tli ■ tirst motion requesting- the oiovrr to withdraw his proposal, to which he ultimately consented. During all this time I"n and angry ions were made for and against the church, and monetary mutters for the moment were wholly forgotten. Such a scene has seldom before oecuned in the bank parlour. T.he proposition of the governor, that the dividend for the hall-year should be 3i per cent., was unani- mously adopted, without much information being obtained or furnished respecting the affairs of the hank. It appears,however, that the prpsrnt divi. dend was not.only made up without any abstraction from the surplus capital, but that the sum of it64,000 had bleen added-to that fund, makiug an increase during the year IIf £86,000. The branch hanks, it was stated, continue to be a source of profit, and the governor declared that they had not been extended. It ,ilso appeared that no portion of the dead weight had been disposed of, the reason given for which -by the governor was that the offers had not been sufficiently satisfactory. The IWJOUllt of •' rest," on the 31st of August last, on the day on which the accounts of the bank were made up, was stated to be £ 2,862,885.

GRAND CONSERV ATI V E COM M EM ORATION. We so denominate the meeting at Cullompton on Thursday week, and with truth, since it was jjrand from its numbers,-its subjects, its certain effects, al)d the glorious triumph which it commemorated The rescue of the whole and beautiful county of Devonshire from the baneful influence of Whiggism (leser-ed so glorious a celebration j and the effect which so imposing a display of strength is lilcely to have in encouraging other counties, as well as in confirming and exteuding its own success, at the next general election, canno: be over-estimated. Tlie meeting was thus assembled with the view,' firstly, of celebrating the expulsion of the Beptilia from the county representation; and, secondly, to adopt those measures of united and energetic action at the ensuing registration, and in preparation of the expected general election, which it is confi- dently-anticipated will enable almost every borough in Devon to sweep the last remnants of VV|>ign.ery from the representation of this large and important county. For this purpose it was thought desirable to concentrate at one great meeting all the leading electors and Conservatives in the eastern portion of the county, and a great number accordingly re- paired to Cullompton from Exeter, Tiverton, lioni. ton. and Plymouth. independently of a large body of the electorsof the eastern districts both of North and South Devon. From tlie résults of tile inquiries which took place, it may be almost confident!y predicted that Lord Palmerston will in future have to yield his seat for Tiverton to that excellent Con- servative Mr Beere; that Honiton will no longer be neutralised, but in future will return two Con- servatives instead of one; that Exeter and Barn- staple are equally prepared to vindicate, the Constitution; and that even Plymouth, Devonport, and Totnes will use their utmost exertions to shake off their Whig fptters in the next sirtiggl# In order to complete all the ramifications of th:s spirited arrangement, a festival, to which Upwards of 1,000 electors of the western districts of the northern and southern divisions of the county have been invited, y-wtl^ take place on tlie ensuing day, at Lifton park, the seat of \Jr H. Arundel, who had issued invitations for this magnificent entertain- ment at his own expense, and thus set the Conser- vatives of the kingdom a splendid example of spirit and munificence.

TEA AND TEMPERANCE- We have read with great pleasure u short Trea- tise on Tea and its effects, moral and physical, by Dr. Sigmond it is an exceedingly interesting work, and although pointing out the good effects of moderation and rational admixture of the bleiisings which Pro- vidence has bestowed upon its, is as far from the advocacy of tee-totalism as common.sense is from stupidity and quackery. One passage from its pages, which, indeed, has already been fiequently quoted, will serve to show the spirit in which the work is written :— "The vicissitudes of human existence, qoinetimes in a state of the utmost simplicity, at others of un. bounded luxury, demand that aliment suitable to the general wants, as well as to each individual member, should be obtainpd that fermented li- quors, if injudiciously taken, produce diseased "itomachs and livers, cooulIlption, dropsy, madness. is universally acknowledged'; and the prudent-man who fears that he may be betrayed into a sfnszle ex- cess that may overpower his reason, is perfectly right in shunning the means of mischief. But good wine is a good uoriial a fine stomachic,ancl taken at itsproper season invigorates iniitd and body, and gives life an additional charm. There can be found no substi- tutes for the fermented liquors that can enable man to sustain the mental and bodily labour, which the artificial habits of society so constantly de- mand. Temperance and moderation are virtues essential to our happiness, but a total abstinence from the enjoyments which the bounteous hand of Nature has provided, is as unwise as it is ungrate- ful. If, on the one band, disease and sorrow at- tend the abuse of alcoholic liquors, innocent gaiety, additional strength and power of mind, and an increased capability of encountering the ever- varying agitation ot life, are amongst the many good results which spring from a well-regulated diet, and where the alcoholic preparations bear the just proportion and adaptation." We earnestly recommend a perusal of this valu- able little treatise.

The lows were about to'be landed, when an accident induced the captain to examine (lieiii, and it was found that the logs of wood were hollow, and were filled up witli tobacco and cigars, a plug being in. serted at each end of the Same Colour as the wood. Oue of the lo £ «-having become warped by the weather, the plag fell out and discovered the fraud intended on the revenue. OueEaruilling the re- mainder of the timber it was foundthat u large hole, abint six it)ch"ltty.tliameter,- had' been sc<ioped'oul in each, and filled vwithlcigktrsatid tol)gccoi The quantity of tobacco and cicars exceeds five tons, and the value is upwards of ^5,000. ACCIDENT BETTER THAN SKILL.-Sir Benjamin Brodie, who was a witness in a medical case recently tried in the Court of Common Pleas, said he only knew of one instance of recovery fronj dropsy, which was the CdWC öf a young- llld, who was thrown violently from her horse; the fall ruptured the sack, and she recovered. THE CORRESPONDENCE of non-commissioned of- ficers and privates of her Majesty's service is to be conveyed to arrd from I I)e East Indies by the over- land Mails, via Falmouth, on the mere payment of one penny each; lhe letters being single, and franked by the officer conil"atidiiig.-United Service Gazette. USE or THE STOMACH PUMP.—To the course of an inquest held recently Mr Wakly remarked upon the use of the IIlomach-puml) itl exttacting poi-uns generally, l.n reference to laudanum he said, since he had become coroner one or two circumstances had ocburred, which he conceived it would be a great -benefit to tbe medical profession and the public at large to be put in posst'ssion of. At an inquest tie held some time back at Chelsea, the surgeon stated tbat he used the StOilidell-Pilinp twice, and on dis- charging the water injected iuto the stomach not the slightest sint-if or indication that laudanum was taken was perceptible. Ou inserting the pump, lio A evvr, for the third time, he extracted nearly half a pint of thick mucus which was impregnated with opiuiti to an exteut sufficient to kitt the strongest horsp. It appeared to him (thp coroner) that the mucUiI must trntirely absorb tlie laudanum, aud that unless the tube ot the pump became inserted amongst the mucus it would be of to avail. A surgedn, who was present as a witness, said hu had had a similar case, where it was not uutil the third time-that he managed to extract the mucus from the stomach of a young woman, which colitained all -tlie laudanum she had taken. Ti,e coroner said he had merely mentioned the circuinslanoe, as it was lvighly es- sential the medical profession should be made acquainted with any fact which would have a tendency to preserve huinftu life. DISLOCATION OF THE JAW FROM YAWNIVG — By fat- the most singular case of this description we •ever heard of occurred in Ayr many years ago. A worrtan between 60 atfd 70 years of'age, named Gil- lespie, wbolived in Townhead, had been so addicted to yawning in church as to call dowli the reproof of the Rev. Dr. Datryrtiple upon her for (he habit. At last the failing cured itself, for the poor woman yawned her jaw out of juKif. The case was a very obdurate one, as the laie Dr. Bone, Dr. Whiteside, and indeed the whole faculty frho attended could not reduce the dislocation. The sin-gulueity of tile case lies. in the sequel. After living mostly on soft food, with her jaw dislocated, for a'lwef venionth, the woman again went to church and yawned 1Ir jaw back into its place The incident smacks -a good deal of the man who leaped into a quickset hedge and scratched out his eye" and then scratched them: in again» but tlie facts ot the case we have stated are beyond dispute.— Ayr sldvertiset. 1 DANGER* AND COURAGo.-An alarming incident, the result of which might have been the destruction of great part of Shrewsbury, lately took place. A great quantity of gunpowder was brought up the ,canal from Lancashire, "ud landed near the Gas Works. Whilst the wagon which was to convey the powder from the wharf was being loaded, a chimney in the neighbourhood took fire, and the burning soot falling on oue of the canvass wrappers in whi-et) barrets of gunpowder are usually enclosed, set it ou firej and it began bnrn fiercely. The workmen around immedialely ran all save onq brave feflow, the wagoner, who seeing the imminence of the difng-er^ coarage°u^ leaped on the pile o Ifuupowder 10re iheb'iiroii,>g,c^'nv*8* fre« the barrel,1 ,and throwing the barrel itself ipto the canal,.rescaed the town, or great part ot it, from becoming a heap of ruins, there being nearly a too of gunpowder on the wagon when the %VtaPPer-took 6re *•—Shrewsbury on Chronicle. A WORTHY CLERGYMAN of our acquaintance, one of the old school, of which few relics now re. main, used to relate the following with much glee. There wafe in his pdrish ohe C., by trade a carpenter, and iló less fbr shrewdness and wir. C. was hewing timber when theclergymau accosted him—"Mr C. y6u have become'qtfite famous for your ingenuity you have made aboost every thing else, pray can you make a devilV "Very easy, Mr. replied the other, scanning the parson carelessly, and raising hiaaxe; just put your foot on this rtick-you want the least altering of any man I know of." AKTIFICIAL IVORY.-Cei,ltli,. parties in Sheffield have Just ob*ainej) a patent for the making of a sub- stance so nearly resembling ivory, and so applicable to ill the purposes of t'-at valuable material, that if is ilmnst impossible io detect the difference. We have not ourselves seen the mock ivory, but we are tonl that, in one instance, a working culler bad a quantity of scales given out to hitn, consisting partly of the fictitious compound, and partly of ivory, and th, he used them in hafting his knifes, and returned It s work withnut discovering the difference.

COMICAL ATTEMPT AT Suicii)r.-kil English gentleman, who for gome reasons best known to i, a himself, had resolved to "shuffle off his mortal coil," and to take hi* last joiji-ney by water, en- gaged a hackney-coach a short time since, and gave the word "to Neuilly," to the driver. On reaching the village, and opening the door for bis fare, the coachman was sjrtick with unutterable consternation at.seeing tbe former, who during the drive had undressed, himself, rush from the vehicle in }>nris nufurulibut, a'nd make for the river at the top of his speed. John, without a moment's hesi- tation, followed, dashed aside his hat and great coat, jumped into the Seine nearly at the same mo- iiient as John Bull, and succeeded in dragging him tn t he blink, Fiirioiii; at this infritigement upon the liberty of the subject, the Englishman railed in the lno»t outrageous terms at his preserver, and ex- pressed his firm determination airain to seek a WA- tery grave. Finding it an extreme case, the-eoaeh- irran suddenly seized the woutd-be-suioide. bore him back in triumph to the hackney-cotiali, stowed him in a corner of the vehicle, and slamming the door to, mounted the box an,! drovc- liiin at full gallop to lii- hotel, here he was properly taken dare of.

THE DONCASTER CUP.—The cup of ihrs year is more than usuuliy valuable, the weight exceeding five hundred ounces. It i'm of the Etruscan form, three feet rokir inches high, havirtg two bas-reliefs on the hody, one representing hoi-ses at speed, and (he .other.:a group in repose. Tbis Matter is de- signed with the tntentton of exhibiting portraits of the old English' horse, the Arab, and tIte> racing horse, their progeny- On two large scroll handles a pair of grittins are placed, in allusion to the fact of their being the supporters of the coat of aftMS of the town of Doncaster.1 With the-exception of the Goodwood Shield, the present cup appears ,to be one of the richest prizes we have seen. "THERE'S A LANGUAGE TUA.T'S MtJTE,A gen tleinan one Sunday morning was attracted to waich a country girl, on the road from the village to the church, by observing that she looked hither and thither, this way and that upon the road, as, if she had lost her tbimbfe. The bells were "settling" for prayer, and there was no one visible on the road except the girl and the gentleman, who recognized in her the errand girl of a neighbouring farmer. What are you looking for, my girt asked the gentleman, as the damsel continued to pore along the dusty road. She answered, -irravely-Sir, I am looking to see if my master be gone to church. Now her master had a wooden leg.-Metropolit(tyl. LOVE OF IlovF.-I have at times tried to imagine the teelings of a man who is about to emigrate, folly convinced that he never again will look upon his native land-to my mind it brings thoughts-allied to death. I could fancy that I was going away to die-going to live somewhere until death oame-in some huge prison, with a gaol-like sky above it, and .an area that inigbt stretch hundreds of miles with a wide sea around it, on the margin ot which 1 should wander alone, sighing away my soul in wishes to regain my native latid. Everything would be strange to me, the 'andscape would call up no recollections; I should not have even a tree to call my friend, nor a flower which I could say was my own. Ah! after all, it is something to look upon the churchyard where those that we loved are at rest, to gaze upon their grave-q, and think over what we have gone through with them, and what we would now undergo to recall them from the dead. Reader, pardon these oflildish ttioig-I)t,; they forced themselves into- my mind, and I have recorded them; they seem to awaken my memory anew, and strip me of a score of years they have a foolish hold of my affections. But stirely it is a worthy passion to cherish; there seems something holy about the past; it M'freed from aHspttishness; we love it for its own sake; we sigh for it, because it can never again be recalled; even as a fond mother broods over the memory of some darling that is dead, us if she had but then discovered how much her heart loved it,Uille,s Rural Sketches. THE .MUSICAL Box.-A gentleman was travelling with his servant in the wilds of America, and having ventured, on one occasion, further than they ought to have done into a wood, they obsei ved several of the natives following them in a cautious manner, which alarmed them very. lIIuch, particularly when the Indians began to scream aud hoi loo.—What was to be done? The servant said, "give me your musical snuff-box, sir," — the gentleman did so; and the servant laid his hat upon the ground, and put the box into it after setting it goin, When the natives approached the hat tht-y suddenly halted, Razed, and listened for awhile, then started eff at lull speed, frightened out of their wits T he servant ran back and secured the magic life-preserver.— Cheltenham Looker-ait. ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE-—The following is given in the Gazette des Tribuneaux as a romance of real life, which has just occurredA My now •f'joyintf a splendid fortune marie a faux pas some 20 years ago, and had a son. To conceal her error from her family she placed the boy in the hospital of the lCnfans Trouves; and when she afterwards found herself in independent circumstances, Biin out, gave him an accomplished education, and secured him a fortune of 200,000f. She wished to see him married but fearing that at some future day reflections might be cast on his birth by the family of his wife, and at the same time wishing to repair her own fault by securing the, welfare and happiness of another victim to the weakness of hu- man nature, she made a confidant of the director of the hospital, and having selected a young woman equally distinguished for the qualities of her mind and the beauties of her person, took her from the asylum, divested her of her homely attire a,, all or- phan, dressed her as a bride, and gave her to her son as his wife." IMPORTANT TO AcinxCVLTVRISTS-it will be in the recollection of our readeis that a most terrific and destructive storfn -occurred at Chaddesley and the neighbourhood on the 14thof luiteltitt. The es- timated loss to the crops was naauy thousand pounds, the wheat and borley cropS being, as it was imagined totally destroyed,the stalks beinrf entirely broken and beaten into the earth It was the prevailingopin- ion of the oldest agriculturists, that it would be advisable to plough themupand sow turnips in their places, whilst some few prognosticated that the old st .Iks which had been broken off from the roots and driven into the earth by the hail, would re-produce a new crop. It wallulrimately agreed not to plough up the crops, and the result ought to be generally published for the information of the agricultural public. In the course of a week after the storm, the green blade put forth as though it was spring, and flourished-so rapidly that the owners began to che- rish hopes that although one crop had been destroyed a secoud would arise on its ruins scarcely inferior in quantity orquality. rrhse hopes havebeNI more than realized. In the barley crops, ere a month bad; elapsed, the ueWears put forth in increased numbers,, and we have now before us a sample of this tiecond crop. It is in every respect equal to that which never sustaiued any damage. The wheat crops present a somewhat unusual iippearancc. The stalks which were broken have shot forth eurs of wheat in greatly increased numbers. The fields present an appearance of two crops, the remains of the original* crop being now ready for the sickle, while the second is quite green, but most luttiriaiit.-YCi(Iderminster Messenger. i I I A METHOD has been recently restored to for the purpose of cutting tho weeds in the upper Witham dis-i trict of -sewers, which has proved of great ntility, and is deserving of being cxtehsivety ttdopted. H is this: —Several "scythe blades are ri vetted together in one -length, so aS to rMch across the river, tintf also to curve down towards the bed of it. The elasticity of the scythes, and their united length, naturally cause the curvature to take the properadaptation, and to fit the bed, but tliere are also some weights added, to assist in keeping the implement at a proper depth; besides which it is requisite to let the edge be always hori. zontal. A broad piece of iron is therefore rivetted at each extremity, at right angles, and to these ends ropes are attached. Three men on each side of the river draw the apparatus upwards agaiiot the shearerj thus meeting the weeds as they are bending down by the current. By proceeding thus, the weeds are cut closo totbo roots with complete certainty. Four miles a-day can be cut and cleared, but it is necessary to have four men on each side of the river to haul and relieveeaeh other, and eight men to follow with rakes, —Lincoln GaMetf.

SAVIVO GRAIN IN WET SEASONS.—The following letter, which appears in the Manchester Guardian, con- tains some valuable suggestions:—During this wet weather the grain is spoiling. The pfitll to-leave it in the field to dry and harden, after being bound in sheaves, is at the present season, exposing it to great injury; I feel confident, by the following plan, a good portion may-vet be saved. But first let me state, that it the grain be fit to cut and bind in sheaves, th-.it sa'me hour it midlife be carted to the ilotlieste;,(Il. and placed in any unoccupied sit. cow-house, stable, or barn, in the following manner': -place the sheaves on their sides, as in the common way of stacking, all the stnbbte ends being against the wall, the cars forming the other side of the heap A foot from this heap, make another pile, observing the same method of placing the slieaves, so that the ears form one side and the stubble etuis the other side. Being thus placed, the doors1 and windows left open, the air would be admitted, and, in my opinion, effectually dry it in a short tiure. It is most certain that by this means it may be-much better saved than by remaining in the field-to be drellched-by. the rain. To simplify what I "Itan- there is the thrashing-floor; by placing the stubble ends against one of the side walls, the ears then are towards the centre of the floor; in the same way place the stubble ends against the other side of tit* W--i'l thus the ears of both heaps are opposite each other, and a space of several feet between them. The back and front doors of the barn being opened, there is a thorough; drnft of air direct upon tho ears. To prevent the9e heaps from-falling against each other, place pieces of wood, extending from one ti(-;tp to the other this will answer the temporary purpose. I think that after remaining a week or two in this form, the whole may be safely stacked. But I stronly protest against larg<e ricks; they are formed in such solid masses; that the pram has no chance of hardening. Oir targe farms, for want of sufficient extent of buildings, this plan could only be adopted to a limited extent; but as there are many farms on which from one to fifteen acres are cultivated for grain, this plan may save the whole from being entirely spoiled." COURSING.—To such of our friends as keep grey- hounds we beg to offer a caution. On no account to use them for the purpose of coursing bares, under any circumstances, without having first obtained a game certificate. All persons so offending become imme- diately liable to a surcharge amounting to (foubiethe duty, and a recent act takes away from the lrtngis- trates the power of mitigating it. WHY IS A FOX-IIUNTEK A JUMRLK OF PARA- DOXFS? — Because he sets forth clean, though he conies out of a kennel, and returns home (lirty-lic cares not for cards, yet he strives to be always with the p,lck-he is anything but litigious, yet is fond of a certain suit and retains Scarlet.
