EXTHAOIWINARY LAND SLIP, I And great Convulsion of the coast ofCulierhote roint, near Lyme llegis, Dorset. The recent season of Christmas has been marked on the neighbouring line of coast by a convulsion so remarkable, from the extent, magnitude and picturesque changes it has produced in the surface, and general configuration of a line of country, extending at 1t:8t a mile in length, by half a mile in breadth, (including the (alms of Dowlands and Great and Little bandon,) that I conceive some account of it cannot fail to be acceptable in your columns. Although this convubion can only be ascribed to the less dignified agency of the land-spring' constantly underminig the ,uh,rata yet in the grandeur of lie disturbance it has occasIOned, il far exceeds the ravages of the earthquakes of Cala- bria, ami almost rivals the vast volcanic fissures of the Val de Bove on the flanks of /Etna. j Convulsions of a similar nature have in former cen-I turies impressed on the whole liue of coast between Lyme and Axmouth, a character of wild and romantic piclure'que combinations of scenery scarcely rivalled iu any othr part of the British Coast. 1 he yU^ ndercltff i in the south of the Isle of Wighl, affords another ex- ample of the .imilar 6?,t, ?,,?iti.g Irom the agency of dlc same causes on rocks of Ihe same geological formation, and having a like position in relation 10 the line of coast; it may, however, be confidently asserted, that the I'ndercl'ff of South-eastern Devon, in the scale and picturesque effect of II. features, is far;uperior to that of the Isle of Wight. It will be necessary in order to give a clear idea of the causes which have produced these convulsions, to premise a few words as to the nature and distribution of the rock masses on which they have acted, 'lhe tract of downs ranging along the coast is here capped I by a stratum of chalk, this rests on series of beds of consolidated sandstone, alternating with seams of that variety of flint called Chert; beneath these more than one hundred feet of loose sand, locally (from an oh- vious etymology) termed fox mould; fit,, bed affords the principal cause of the disturbances in question, for it imbibes all the atmospherical water falling om the sur(Jce, and as it rests on retentive bed? of clay (be- longin to what i, clIed ,he lias formation) these walers are here held up and flow out in springs a long the margin of this deposit wherever it is exposed by the slope of the ground, as is necessarily the case all along the face of these downs where they break down to the sea; the prings thus issuing wash out with them a very sensible portion of the loose deposit of fux mould, through whieh they flow-and such an action is of course greatly aggravated by the inordinate continnance of wet ,e?t 1, in a season such as has lately prevailed. Thus considerable portions of I fox mould being gradually removed along the lines through which these subterranean springs have found: their course, the superstrata will remain completely undermined; and as an excessively wet season will by saturating the whole with moisture, increase the weight of the incumbent mass, at the same time that (as we have seen) it withdraws the support, it is easy to conceive that cracks will in process of time be formed, the undermined portions of I he superstrata will be precipitated into the hollows prepared beneath them. And further, as the adjactnt masses of rock, even where not thus completely undermined rest on a slippery basis of watery sand, the motion originally impressed by the falling in of an aClually undermined Iract, will readily be propagated to a considerable ex- tent in a lateral direction. These causes having acted through centuries, have produced a series of dislocations afrecling.1I tire sea. wanllace of the range of hills lining this part of the coast for an interval of more than a furlong fiom the sca-beach inland; the whole of this interval presents1 the wildest scene of ruin imaginable, crags, knolls, and moulds, confusedly hill leti" in a succession of broken terraces, separated by deep and wooded dingles, an inland range of chalk cliffs mantled by luxuriant scrcens of ash and rdm, whcrcvcr the declivity will allow a root to fix itself, forming the upper stage and general background of the scene, and extending to the very summit of I h hills. This general character pre- vails through the under-cliff., of Pinhay, Whitlands, Hnw5cdowtl. 1)0\\11;)0(15, an.1 Uendnn, the latter of which has been the principal scene of the convulsion, which in the last week has added new features of such magnitude and interest to those which previously marked this range of eoa«t. 1 proceed to my narrative On the morning of Tues- day the 24th, at about three o'clock a.m. the family of Mr. Chappie who occupies the farm of Dowlands, about half a mile from the commencement of the dis- turbances which ensued was alarmed by a violent crashing noi,e; but nothing farther was observed er.is!g-h l?it day. On the following nighl, however, ahoulthe same hour, some labourers of Mr. Chappie, the tenants of cottages built among the debris of the adjoining undercliff, hurried to the farm, with the in- formation that fissures were opening in the ground around, and the walls of their tenements rending, and sinking. Through the course of the following day (Chiistmas) a grealsuhsidence took place through the fields ranging above Bendon Undercliff, lorming a deep chasm, or ratfu r ravine, extending nearly three quar- ters of a mile in length, with a depth of from 100 to 150 feet, and a breadth exceeding 80 yards; between this and the former face of the Undercliff. extends a long strip, exhibiting fragments of turnip fields, and separated from Ihe irict to which they once beloii e I by the deep intervening gulf, of which the botto In 9 i. constituted hy fragmenls of the original surlace, thrown together in the wildest confusion of inclined terraces anil columtnr masses, intersected by deep fissures, so as 1o render the ground nearly impassable. lire in. sulated strip of fields also which has been mentioned i, greatly rent and shattered; the whole 01 the tract which has been subjected to these vivlenldisturhances must be estimated?u the most moderate computation as exceeding a mile in length, by 400 feet. The extent nf injury sustained by the adjoining farms, may be readdy ascertained by these data-which from the fear of exaggeration, I am, however, persuadid I have greatly understated. The whole of the adjoining t: n. dercliff between this new figure and the sea has been greatly affected by the lateral movements to which I have before alluded, the whole surface is COI rugated by new ridges and furrows an,1 traversed at every step by new fUsuies, and the whole line of sea cliff ha. completely changed the features it possessed a week ago, and been very generally moved bodily forward for many yards. A remarkable pyramidal crag oft'! Culelhole point, \I!I[(11 lately formed a distinguished land-mark, has sank from an height of 100 to 200 feet, and iiiia main cliff, before more than 50 feet dis- tant from the insulated is now brought almost close. This motion of the clif fhas produced a further effect, which may rank among the most striking phe- nomena of this catastrophe. lhe lateral pressure thus occasioned, has urged the neighbouiing strata extending beneath the shingle of the shore by their state of unnatural condensation, to burst upwards in a line parallel to the coast—thus an elevated ridge more than a mile in length, and rising more than 40 feel, covered by a confll;ocd assemblage of broken strata, and immense block, "f with sea-weed and corallines, and sc .ttered over with shells and star fish, and other productions of the deep, forms an ex- tended reef in front of the present range of cliffs;— this terminates at its eastern and western extremity in two deep basins of water. The western of these basins U encircled by the extreme arm of the new reef, in such a manner as nearly to resemble the Cobb at Lyme; which, however, it exceeds in size. The sin. gularity and picturesque effect of the new combina- tions produced by this remarkable convulsion must be sufficiently evident fronr. the abovedcscriptlon. without fatiguing your readers, and swelling a communication already too long by any vain attempt to delineate by the pen that which were a fitteriubject fui the pencil. -Eutet. and Plymouth (;a:etlf.

ORIGIN OF HOLYROOD MONASTERY. I The monastery of Holyrood was founded by David the First, of Scotland, A.T). 1120. and the following account is given from tradition, we suppose, tib the origin of its foundation TheKing, while huutingin the forest of Drummalcb, one of the royal forests which surrounded the rocks and bill. to the east of Edinburgh, on Rood-day (or exaltation of the cross), was attacked by a stag, and would in all probability have fallen a sacrifice to tbe enraged animal,—w hich overbore both him and his horse (as his attendants were left at a considerable distance behind); when lo! an arm, wreathed in a dark cloud, and displaying a cross of the most dBz- zling brilliancy, was interposed between them, and the affrighted animal fled in the greatest confusion.— This having put an end to the chase, the Monarch re- paired to the Castle of Edinburgh, when during the night, in a dream, he was advised, ns an act of grati- tude for his deliverance, to erect an abbey, or bouse for canons regular, upon the spot wherd this miracu- lous interposition had taken place. In obedience to this visionary command, the Mon- astery for canons regularly of the Auusllne order, a colony of whom he brought from an abbey of the same kind et St. Andrew's, and dedicated bis new esta- blishment to the honour of the same cross. The Ceo lestial relic being left in his possession, was enshrined in silver, and placed with great pomp and ceremony upon tho High Altar, where it remained for ages a source of comfort and riches to its numerous devotees, till the fatal battle of Durham, a.d. 1346—when its virtues appear to have deserted its possessors, as it there fell into the ban is ofthe English, and was long preserved by them with zealous veneration in the Ca. thedral Church of Durham. The texture of tbiscross was of such a nature, that none could tell of what malorials it was composed, and vi the lapse 01 ages it has hitherto eluded the search of the antiquarian. HMiGiS. I

UNITED STATES. I Titf, I'uf.sidcnt'a messagi:. I Tho President begins his speech with congratulat- ing his countrymen upon tho abundant harvest willi which l'roviùence has blessed the United States he states the sound and judicious principle upon which our own present corn-laws are avowedly founded, "that Twt/¡if1 call compensate (I. jwopfc for a dependence upon others for the bread they cat, and that the best source of that cheerful abundance is the industry of the agriculturist." The topic next in importance is the present situa- tion of the boundary question-R question, which, ?iLe the well-known case of tho Nabob 01 Arcot's debt, has already lasted upwards of twenty years, and will doubtless, under the keen appetite for jobs and commissions, peculiar to n whig government, lead to an appointment of three or four commissioners with a salary each of one thousand or one thousand two hundred pounds a-year, which will probably last for a further twenty years-so impossible is it to ngree upon theconterininouslineofdistrictsincluded with- in boundaries assigned by degrees of longitude and latitude, and where such lines must run amongst impenetrable forests and impassablo swamps.— Upon this point we have only to express our hearty satisfaction, that the language of the President is so wise and sober, that he is animated by a disposition so friendly towards the British government. It is impossible," he says, 41 that either of the two powers concerned can desire anything but what is just and equal; and 1 feel confident tbat tho government of her Britannic Majesty will take the same view of this difficult and complicated question with myself." The third point ot his speech is more particularly interesting, inasmuch as it relates to the present and recent condition of Canada. The President here con- gratulates bis countrymen that such a degree of tran- quillity has taken placo in Canada, as to justify the expectation that there will be no further border con- tentions between the British and American govern- ments. He expresses his satisfaction that the mis- guided sympathy of tho American borderers in what they deemed a popular calise has entirelypassetlaway, and has subsided into the rational conviction that the people of one state have no right to intermeddle with the internalatTairs of another. This feeling had aris- en in a generous but mistaken notion, that the contest was in favour of popular rights, and that the Cana- dians were engaged in an effort to improve their po- litical condition. Tills notion had become corrected by a more sober judgment of their own rights and du- ties as the friendly neighbours of an independent o- vernment. As all the other parts of the spepch relates princi- pally to the domestic concerns and peculiar foreign relations of the I oited States, we shall puss them over, and conhne ourse¡"e. to those points in which II)t) An)eric?)a become connected and compli- cated with those of our own government ?. mer- .b observing only in passing, that ?.tbi?g can he more prosperous than the state of the public reve- ""e.tbat no country in the wor!dappc.?a so lightly taxed as America, and that in no country are such of tills department, which is enriched by the delicIOUs sources of taxation so uniformly

TUE Pbesent POSITION 01" 1Hf. most Bsautifcl Group or Stars.A more glorious spectacle, or a more striking evidence of tbe power and wisdom ot God, than e clear winter nigbt presents os with in the heavens, can scarcely be conceived. On whichever side we turn, we meet with objects which solicit oui attention and claim our regard tor all is full of Him, and He is love." A highly interesting sssemblage ot stars in the west and outh-weit, at so early au hour at present as five o'clock, when it is imposingly- constituted by tbe far-stretching Swan, in the form ot a cross, having on the left, just above the Ea.^le, the mildly gleaming Dolphin, in the form of a diamond and on tbe right 01 the Lyre of Orpheus, easily dis- tinguished by two smull.,J.er triangles, wbicb rega, of* the first magnitude, so pleasingly forms with two smaller stars. About this time three years ago, this group was enriched by the presence of Venus. But we have now no evening star; for Jupiter and rnus, the planets tbat can be properly so called, are both ul them at present harbingers of the morn and as such continue to be beautifully conspicuous in tbe south- east until nearly eight o'clock, when the morning Is line and the sky quite clear. These western group, will be observed to be surpassed in grandeur, bril- liance, and beauty, by those favourites of scripture and tllØ classics, which successively arrive at a 1.1" hour to gild tbe glowing east with the lustre of their beams.

Use OF Chemistry I" AGRICl'LITRU Punsl'lr".ll land be unproductive, and a svstem of amelioratln it is to be attempted, the sure method of ohcainin II", object is by determining the cause ot it. slerlllty, which must necessarily depend upon some defect in the constitution oftbe soil, which may be easily dis- covered by chemical analysis. Some lands of good apparent texture are yet sterile in a high degree, an,t common observation, and common practice, atiord no means of ascertaining tbe cause, or of removing the effect. The application (of cbemical tests in such cases is obvious, for the soil must contain some noxious principle, which may be easily discovered, and pro bably easily destroyed. Are any of the salts of iron present ? they may be decomposed by lime, is there an excess of siliceous sand ? the system of improve- ment must depend on the application of clay and cal- careous matter. 13 there a defect ofcalcareous mat- ter! the remedy is obvious. Is an excess of vegeta- ble matter indicated? it may be removed by liming, paring, and burning. Is there a deficiency 01 vegeta- ble matter ? it is be supplied by manure. A question concerning the different kinds of limestone to be elll ployed in cultivation often occurs. To determine this fully in tbe common way of experience would demand a considerable time, perhaps some years, and trcds might be injurious to crops, but by simple chemic tl tests the nature of limestone is discovered in a few- minutes; and the fitness of its application, whethei as a manure for different soils, or as a cement, d,-r. mined. Peat earth, ofa certain consistence and com- position, is an excellent maijure but there me s.m, varieties of peats which contain so largo a quamiu of ferruginous matter as to be absolutely poisonous I., plants.

The days are perceptibly lengthening the sun, lid centre of animation, is more frequently seen, tod ,though we bave yet a dreary month or t« o to cont- ii.i against, every day hastens the approach of spring: and the mind, buoyant with hope, is carried forward in pleasing anticipation to that gladsome period In n tbeeartb shall awake from its Ion; slumber, and w to the enchantment of each lover of nature, every hl-rl. of the field and every tree of the forest shall be seen vieing with each other in eagerness te reclothe tl.fin- selves with their refreshing verdure. And meanwhile in the greenhouse mattersirl, d" improving. Many of the beautiful Cape i rioas enlivening with their showy blossoms the collecti. n of the skilful cultivator. Some of the most torw ar.i of the New Holland plants are likewise producing their neat and elegant flowers; as, for instance, ep > cris impressa, pimelea pinitolio, pultenoxa stncr" epacris grandifiora, grudia pinifolia, lechenaultia t, r mosa, Ike. And then the host of auxiliaries are now advancing rapidly to the assistance of this (tel),tt ment, which is enriched by the delicious fragrm. of the early mignionette, and enlivened by tI". presence of tho hyacinths. narcissus, tulips, Jun. quils, crocus, and snowdrops, which have been gei.tly urged into an early maturity. Nor would we over- look the chaste little Chinese primrose, whose deli- cate flowers are at all seasons welcome, but are ijuiv ofinvaluable worth. And last, though by no means least, that Queen of plants, the camellia japonicn. is now in many instances in great perfection. At thu period of tiorrorand dismay to all the gontle tribe wll,, patronise the teapot, it is no small comfort to refWt that we have succeeded in wringing from thrseoM whimsical, stubborn-headed, fantastical opium eater-, the Chinese, so many beautiful varieties of the peer- less camelia. Already the skilful gardener nnd the assiduous ama- teur are preparing for the amicable contest in w IlId, the lapse of a month or two will find them engaged. Already, it may be, they hare selected the plants, upon the excellence of which will depend the issue of the first trial. Already, as they gaze upon their favourite specimens with more thou a parent s pride, they behold, in imagination, the palmy crown of vic- tory descend upon their brow, and enjoy, by antici- pation, the warm congratulations of their friends, and the half envious grumblings of their dissppoioted com- petitors. TIIE GREENHOUSE AND CONSERVATORY. I Let the geraniums be frequently turned, so as to bring each side of the plant by turns to tbe light rid. may be done with ease when the plants are watered. and will cause the plants to be equal and handsonw in their growth. Any soft-wooded plants, as calceo- larias, mimulush, «\c., which have been preserved during tho winter In small pots, or which have re- mained in store-pots, may now be shifted into larbo pots, or removed to separate pots, as the case may be. Use for this purpose light rich mould; a good pro- portion of vegetable mould will be found very appro- priate.
