COD LIVER OIL. A Natural remedy and certain cure for Gout, Rheu- matism, and Scrofula, Diseased Joints, Lumbago, Skin Diseases, Spinal and Glandular Affections, Scrofula Ulcers, Swelled Legs, and all Internal Diseases, arising from an impure state of the Bloorl, or fr.un Dome stic Accidents as Sprains, Bruises, Wounds, Scatd-, Bums, Chilblains, Chapped Hands, &c. &c. The following Testimonials, with authenticated cases of extraordinary cure, are from the highest and most respectable authority — coo LIVln Oil. in cases of GOUT & RHEUMATISM. The diseases in which the Cod Liver Oil is attended with the most extraordinary results are the Gout and Rheumatism. It is rather a curious fact, anC: one that fully establishes the truth of what we have already stated, that some years ago, Cod Liver Oil was introduced into Manchester, by a cehfbratsd German practitioner, then on a visit to Dr. Kay, Physician to the Manchester Infirm: -.who was the first medical man who prescribed this remedy ;• the cure of Gout and Rheumatism, in this country. Mr. L-.rby, House-Surgeou and Apothecary to the same institution, gave 'he following account of an ex- traordinary cure :—A 'voman, who laboured under the most excruciating rheumatism, being advised to rub her joints with the oil, after a few weeks was restored to the use of her limbs aad was cured." Encouraged by this extraordinary cure, Dr. ( Kay continued to prescribe it for other patients in similar case- and with the same succ ss. Dr. Bardsley, also, when treating of chronic rheumatism observes,' In instances, when every other means have failed Cod Liver Oil has operated in a manner so decidedly benefi- cial as to excite astonishment," The circumstances under which this specific remedy is found most advantageous, are the following:—1st. In the chronic rheumatism o: elderly persons, when the muscles aud tendons tave become rigid, and the joints nearly flexible, in consequence of the disease having bern brought on by exces- sive labour, hard fare, dampness, and cold. 2nd. In women whose constitutions have been worn out by repeated rheumatic attacks, especially in the decline of life; & patients who were Unable either to preserve the body in an erect position, or sup- port its weight on the lower extremities, have recovered en. tirety by rubbiug the oil 011 the affected parts. Dlt. HliKFIELD'S OPINION, WITH CASES OF CURtf. Another celebrated Physician, Ur. IJrefield, found the oil of the greatesi benefit in cases where the Gout or Khcumatism appear to have seized upon the whole system, and when, as the result of long suffering, the body is wasted, the process of nutrition very low, there is want of sleep, loss of vital powers, languid expression of the countenance, contraction of the mus- cles, &c. &c.; and mentions the following case of Mrs. .1\1earman,30 years old, wlôo had bei-n confined to her bed or room, and only in the warm summer months experienced a slight alleviation of her stifferihgs :—Nearly the whole body Was attacked, but principally the inferior extremities, back, aa<i shoulders. Walking was entiiely prevented by the unsup- BMfcruide pains, stiffness and swelling of the joints. This pa- tiem ws wasted, of a bleachy whiteness, and had lost all hope of relief, though originally of a strong and robust constitutioo, The use (if the Oil daily, was soon followedby a beneficial I ttah, and after some time she was restored to a tolerable stat-e of health. This person, after this, was three years from the time he first saw her, perfectly healthy, well nourished Moonwog, and of robust appearance. COD LIVEll OIL IN OLD AGE& RIGID MUSCLES. Men and women advanced in years, whose fibres may be •apposed to have acquired a degree of rigidity, find surprising effects from the use of this remedy. Some who have been CrippJes for maOy years, and not able to move from their seats have, after a few weeks use of it, been able to go with the assistance of a stick and by a long continuance have enjoyed the pleasing >atisfaction of being restored to the natural use of *heir limbs, which for a long time before had been a burthen to them. Dr. Percival, of the Manchester Infirmary, says: I have had the fullest evidence of the successful use of Cod '.¡vcr Oil, and have contrasted, by experiment, its value with ■other remedies these trials always terminate in favour of the 40il and patients who were under other treatment, by confer- ring with their felloe-sufferers, were so sensible of making a slower progress towards recovery, as to require a change of one 'eiueiiy for the other. The above is only a small portion of an immense number of Testimonials that have already been received in support of the Extraordinary properties of this truly wonderful N ATUlt A L «KA1EDY. Prospectuses containing additional evidence of the value of tod l,i vpr Oil in other diseases, with general remarks on its ^ataiial and commercial history, its Physical and Chemical Action on the Human Economy, &c. j also I Pa-riicular directions for its proper application, will be sent to .any -address on the receipt of two postage stamps.

PROFESSIONAL MALPRACTICES.
PROFESSIONAL MALPRACTICES. CONFESSIONS OF A SHAll LAWTER. We are indebted to Mr. Rankin, of Bristol, for a remarkable correspondence, which forms the most complete exposure yet published of the manner in which so many Sham Lawyers thrive by the help and countenance of Real Lawyers, who are regardless hot? thus they disgrace themselves and their profession. It was elicited in this manner In the Law Times of Oct. 18 was an advertisement of a Practice for Sale. Mr. Rankin applied for parti- culars, and received the followiag reply, which we copy verbatim, with all its sins agaiast grammar and orthography:— Narberth, Pembrokeshire, Oct. 22.18.5. SIRt—I duty received your letter, through the hands of the editor of the Law Times, this morning; in answer to which, I beg to state the whole facts before you in rela. tion to the practice which is to be disposed of. This office is conducted by myself, although nut having obtained my certificate; bat (same tinte) an attorney in London, who is highly respectable, does all the business in the superior courts, and another in, this county does the whole in the county court, and, also holds briefs at quarter sessions and county court If you should think proper to come, to an arrangement as to the purchase of the practice, no doubt you will be highly pleased, and I wilt do the utmost iti fyjjwt te± render you all assistances «md I hare no hesitation in saying that the practice is of the first rate—only requires hard working to attend to all eounty business. Any further communication you might have, you will be pleased to write to me. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, C. W. COOK. Edward Rankin, Esq. Solicitor, 13, John-at. Bristol. P.S.-I refer you to Mr. John Williams, post-master and merchant of this town. Anxious to fathom this outrageous proceeding, and, if possible, to discover who was the attorney who had thus lent his name, Mr. Rankin wrote again, and received the following more elaborate reply:- SIR,- Your8 of the 24th inst. came to hand, requiring particulars. On or about two years ago I was a great favourite of Mr. Cozens, an attorney at, Haverfordwest. I used to recommend all my friends to him to obtain, pro- fessional assistance, and was the means qf gaining him some good business. Hating a heavy cause about that time to be tried in the case of Foley v. Griffiths, my friend Cozen and myself had some words, he being a very irri- tated man. I was determined to having nothing further to do with him, therefore we quit acquaintance. I was resolved by taking the huisness into my own hands; and, rather than to have any thing to do with the attorney in this neighbourhood, I determined to communicate with a gentleman in London, and ever since matters gets on very well and on a rapid inctease. Having lately pur- chased a lease of a farm about three miles from town, it is my intention of going to live at this farm and if any gentlemen wisbing to treat with me for this buisnese, I could attend daily at the offlee, as it would be highly be- neficial to my health; and besides, no gentleman, let him be ever so clever in his profession, would be likely to carry on the buisness without my assistance. For instance, he in the first place would be an entire stranger, and, 2ndly, my counextion.with all the farmers, far and near, would require my presence at the office and at the diffe- rent fairs untill such gentleman would come acquainted with the town and country. I am not a certificate at- torney, as you will petceive above as to my statement, but the London attorneys give. me the same pribilege as if I had been. As to the raw profits between the London attorney and myself, I believe it will yield from 500 to 600 this year, but I cannot say exactly to the mark. Now, supposing a gentleman would come to my terms, the attorney in London would have nothing to do with present actions, as I have only to pay him expenses out of pocket, and the different actions now pending for the next Assizes are numerous; in fact, there is more buis- ness done at this office in the common law than the whole offices together in town. The practice, I assure you, is permanent, and I have no doubt by saying that you would greatly increase the practice by being a resident attorney. and if I was admitted, I could easily double it at this moment; instead of which, I am continually with my hands in my pocket paying advocates at the County Court Quarter Sessions, and as there is no barrister practising in the above courts. Conveyancing is frequently done here and well paid for. I believe I have answered all the requisitic points, and you will find them to be true. There is no gentleman in this town that knows my buisness better than Mr. Wil- liams, postmaster of this town, he is an extensive mer- chant, as well •» all his buiaaeas is done at this office, and if you should require any more information I beg to refer you to Mr. Williams. I am, Sir, yours obediently, C. W. COOK. P.S. I expect 300/. that is upon condition of placing all actions that are now pending into your hands, and whatever you and myself can agree weekly, I shall defer that question to you and myself, and at any time my conduct and acting would not give you satisfaction, I would quit without a days's notice. (1 further send you the communication between the debuty sheriff and myself, merely to shew you how the buisness is left entirely into my hand, which you will have the kindness to return.) As there are so many applications your earliest attention is required. Edward Kaukin, Esa. Solicitor. Rriatal. It is manifest that a sham lawyer, like Mr. Cook, could not have conducted such a business as he re- presents his to be, save under cover of the name of a certificated attorney. That name it cannot be diffi- cult to identify. The members of the profession in the neighbourhood are in duty bound to institute inquiries, and bring the matter before the judges, who doubtless would exercise their authority with vigour, and at once strike from the rolls of the profession a man who has thus disgraced and dishonoured it. The Metropolitan and Provincial LaID Association would, we think, readily undertake the task of prose- cution, if the attorneys in the neighbourhood would supply the needful evidence. We call upon them, on behalf of the entire profession, to spare no labour to effect so desirable an end. As for Mr. Cook, we shall place his letters, con- fessing to illegal practices, in the hands of the Asso- ciation, to dial with them as the committee may see fit; and sure we are, that if properly assisted, they will add one more to the many services which have already entitled them to the gratitude and unanimous support of the profession.—Law Times.
ION LEASES, CORN RENTS, &c.…
ON LEASES, CORN RENTS, &c. AND ON DRAINING AND REPAIRS OF IMAD8 BEING DONE BY LANDLORDS. 1. Z«MM.—Hefore a person can reasonably expect a lease, he must show cause why it should be granted, and this cause must be beneficial to the lessor to be a reasonable cause. 2. If the person applying for the lease were to exchange circumstances with the person applied to, would he grant a lease (and so for a considerable period put the control and disposal of his eatate in a great degree out pC his power), with. out a beneficial cousideration, that is, a consideration beyond that ordinarily expected and reserved on-an annual letting ? 3. Stich consideration may be given either by an increased rent payable from the commencement of the lease beyond the value of the land at the time of letting, estimated on the mean value of it for the term demised, on the supposition that cer- tain improvements wilt be effected by the tem*nt, the landlord at the expiration of the term (having received the full iqean value in the interim), allowing for improvements effected solely by the tenant such sum as any remaining unexhausted are worth on a fair computation; or it may be given, as is more ordinarily the case, by the tenant taking the land at iu present worth in its unimproved state, and deriving exclusive- ly the whole benefit of improvements during the term, the benefit remaining unexhausted at the expiration of the term being given up to the landlord as the fair consideration for granting it. 4 In building leases this is exemplified where the jwwent value of the land is charged as a ground rent,and at the end of the lease the house remains for the landlord without the improvement arising from the building having then to be, bought by the lessor. 5. It is absurd to suppose that any one woald grant a leaSe -without deriving thenceforth, or in prospect at the expiration of the lease, some advantage to -himself beyond what be would derive from an annual letting of land, and whoever in-I stils into the farmers' minds that they are to expect leases at' the present value of the land, and at the expiration of them; to be paid for all unexhausted improvement*, M 80 true friend of theirs, but the reverse, raising hopes and expectations which common sense may tell them will never be realised. 6. The tength of the term should depend on the improve- ments covenanted to be effected by the tenant. 7. Landlords having only a life interest in their estates may still grant leases for a term of years, provided they should to long live, and in case of their dying before the end of the term, the tenant may be protected by covenants on the land- lord's part to reimburse him for such loss as may happen in consequence. f 8. Bad landlords are far more uncommon than bad tenants. 9. Landlords' characters, with respect to the treatment of their tenants, are thoroughly discussed and knOwn to and by all the farmers in their neighbourhood. 10. Tenants' characters are not so known to the neighbour- ing landlords. 11. Landlord intiost to their tenants that which they can. not deprive them of, nor cheat them about in any. way,«. e. their land. H. Tenants have it in their power to cheat their landlords of their rents, and to leave the land worse than they found it. la. The present laws are notoriously in favour of the tenant' in estimating damages, and with a penniless tenant it is better to submit to the first loss, as the old proverb has it, instead of incurring further loss by seeking legal redress; so that every wey the tenant may be said to have the advantage over the landlord on these points. 14. Land is ordinarily said to be worth 30 yd&rsp parcbMe this, when it lets for 30s. per acre, is £46, the value of the landlord's capital. I 15. This land is farmed by a tenant whose capital is, say tO per aere at the utmost. 16. It is an old saying that land ought to produce three rents, one for expenses, one-for the landlord, and one for the tenant. 17 P"nciP'e the landlord, as stated above, would get £ 3 6j. 8d. per cent, interest, from which the 6s. 8d. must be deducted fnr repairs, leaving clear aC3 per cent.; the tenant roeanwbHe clearing £ 15 per cent., which 30*. would be on ftO as above that iI, he would get five times as much as the landlord in proportion to their respective capital. 18. Anything laid out by the tenant in permanent improve- ments be., ought to be able to regain from increased produce arising t herefrom .together with a fair rate of interest for the capital required to effect these improvements; but having had a term grante*! sufficients* enable him to regain principal and interest h« has no right io expect that the landlord should pay him.hu^capital a second time. 19. Ten per cent, is probably a fair r*t* of interest on money so Mid out by tenants, and a sufficient inducement to B investment of their extra capital in improvements. For *•« of proper accounts, it seems difficult at present to My bow long it would take for such improvements to repay prmctpaLand with any degree :of accuracy. 2t *'1* thon t by many person* that land which really neeas draiDmg wilT repay principal and interest as above in three yean crops, whether this berrue'or not, it is evident that af draining becdau* better understood* and tiles or pipes chetper, and at the satne time equally efitosai as the old ex- pensi ve method, if not more 800 a shorter-period than the one .00 re<l^|'e< whatever that msy tiroly bc« will.suffice. el: vows Jfesfr.rhis ia li more difficult question, particu- e: Mf «raas, half arable, or nearly so. 23..When farmers, if ever they do, Ml take the trouble to book their expenses and profits like mercantile men, data will be furnished on which to calculate with some degree of accuracy the relative bearings of prices, crops, seasons, and the expense* of different modes of culture and feeding stqck Set., on their profits. 24. At present, for want of keeping proper accounts, farmers in general do not know, as mercantile men do, the cheapest mode of raising their productions. 25. A landlord ought not to suffer for the ignorauce of his tenant. 20. A day's difference in sowing, reaping, tnewiug, or cart- ing home grain or hsy. may, and often does, make a great difference to the value of the crop, but as these are all at the discretion of the tenant alone. if he err in judgment, want of diligence, or foresight. H is unfair to expect in abatement of rent. For example in tMt, m many places < Barley was a. short crop, while on tbeot her side ofthe hedge, it was as good as ever known; the one tenant having sown early, the other late; and the same with turnips. Those who bad good crops realised, in conaequence, beyond an ordinary profit, whilst Icbole who had bad ones Suffered si loss ot dimicuuion of the ordinary profit. 27. When a manufacturer rents his manufactory he pays a fixed rent for it" and. takes bis chance for his speculations being profitable or otherwise, with which his landlord has nothing to do, nor as to the market price of his manufacturea, be they higher or lower .than when the premises were let; all which, risks are properly taketa by theienant. [' 98, If a manufacturer thinks he can make more by altering and improving the buildings, he asks and obtains a term of years at the present value of the buildings but at tbe end of the term he sets up no claim to "be paid for unexhausted im- provements, which would be absurd, having had ample time to repay himself principal and intereet, wateM his fancied im- provements did not answer, and in this case common sense he no one to blame but hiutself, and he would never dream of seeking iro n his landlord a reimbursement of money wasted in idle speculations. 29. The fluctuation in the price of grain, &c., may arise from various causes. High prices may arise either from scarcity, or from the people being futty suiployed,in general at good wages, and so more able to ba, bread, meat. &c or one pmduction may rise in value from tbe failure of aoiuV other, as It present, th> price of grain being enhauced by tbe failure of the Potato crop. In cither of the latter case* it is evident that the grower of Wheat; for- instance, must gain beyond an average profit; but in the former case it is probable that he may not realis: an average profit, so that the price of grain* alone can never be a just criterion of rent. Still it a.nd an average of years must be, in a ereat degree the basis of rent. As I remarked in a former communication which appeared in. your (JQøtU a short time ago, the Scotch meet this difficulty by making one half of the rent to depend on tbe VUIM of tbe land, calculating on average prices of, say seven years up to the time of letting, and the other half to wary according to the average price of grain in the past year, computing as nearly as may be to the time of paying the rent, and fixing a maximum and minimum with reference to the fixed reserved rent, or rather to the price, of grain on wh<ch the fixed rent was based.. 30. A considerable portion of the produce of every farm is consumed by the tenanr, his family, his labourers, his stock etc., and so far as this portion is concerned, including the value of the dwelling-house as a residence, it makes no monetary difference to him whether, in the market, its value be much or little. This, added to the foregoing reasons, scams to put the equity of releavinC the rent iu part fixed beyond a diubt. the fluctuation of the remainder being probablv as near an approach to am equitable adjustment as the pieseut scan.yiuofr.n.tioa on agricultural statistics will admit of. Farmers in estimating their prv>fiu are apt to overlook • v if* dpu(lMf-house( bread, meat, be«r, poultry, I «IIK, butter, cheese, baco*, are farnUited to them by the farm, which otherwise tbey would have had to buy or pay rent for these items ought to go to the credit of the farm a. regards all the family, except the labourers and the dairy maid, and when the latter is not altogether eipployed in the dairy. her keep and wages should be divided between the household and farming expenses, in proportion to which occupied most of her time. 32. It may seem frivolous to enter into these minuti*, but it is the want of this particularity in apportioaing expenses, that causes farmers not to know where their expenses lie, nor whence their profits arue, and I am glad to see that the Royal Agricultural Society of Rngland has turned its attention to this point, and offered a prize for the best method of keeuiae farmina accounts. r 6 33. On Draining and Repairs of Roads—It has, of Ute. been frequently argued, that landlords ought to do these, in- stead of the tenants. With regard to the latter they may be said to do it in the most essential point of view already, i. e pay for it, because, in calculating the worth of a fart t let or to take, this n considered, and the rent fixed lower in con- sequence, m every instance, it being well known that, before taking a farm, every one inquires what rates, tithes, and tMe..re to be paid by him, and gives less rent that lie other- wise would; in consideration of having to pay these, !to that, in fact, these are all now borne by the landlord, nud it must be evident to any impartial and unprejudiced observer, that it is better for both parties that this custom should rrrnaiu be- cause a tenant being always on the spot, and having caru "VIO horses, Ac., can effcct repairs of roads at far less cost than a landlord, particularly when the latter it non-residem, or doea not keep cans, horses, or bot, whieh is frequently una- voidably the case; besides which, when the tenant dis the repairs, he is aatur&My more careful to avoid emu tig up roads in wet seasons &c.; ..ad with regard to the former, it is well enough, by way of guarding against want of skill, capital, or spirit in the tenant, for the Iandlord to reserve the power of draining, and charging a remunerating interest, by which I JDean ODe that will be equal to the ordinary iaterest f' m°ney, and such addition M will refund the principal by 'he time the benefit is exhausted, and the operation required to be done over again: for example, suppose draining to last thirty years, and then to want renewing, I should say .even per cent. would be a fair charge foi interest on the capital ex. pended in it by the landlord, as he would be a loser by taking less, and this would probably leave a considerable benefit to the tenant, which, bowever, he would have no plaim to, and which therefore, would be equal to an abatement of rent, as, jn strict justice, the landlord could not be expected to lay out bu money for the tenant's benefit solely, without any beneficial consideration, and it is evident that none woald arise to the former, unless be got something more than the ordinary rate of interest in addition to a return of his principal as above and I may here remark that I have before stated ten per cent. in addition to the return of his capital to be a fair inducement for a tenant to drain, whereas tbe above is only about four per cent. to the landlord, the remainder being for repayment for the principal; but as disputes or questions may arise respecting the times when the landlord may choose to enter on the work, or the cost of its. execution, both of which may generally be tløoe better, chfpef and more to his own convenience, by the tenant, if he possess the skill and capital he ought to possess, I I am inclined to think that this is also better left to the tenant and a proper term granted him in tbe land to eaable him to reimburse himself, as suggested in the foregoing remarks. As, you have inserted several articles on tenants' rights, wherein the writers .have quite overlooked landlord's rights, I have endeavoured to hold the balance Dt"re eveuly between the partiese-Corrapandent of the Gardener j Chronicle. r A HINT ON RAILWAY BUSINESS.

On the other hand, a broker imay come to the room with aa order to bay or aell at a pnee which many parties out of doors would gladly ac- eept, but the first intimation they have of the matter is the quMMton of tbe list after business is over. Besides these reasons which tie <m the Wry surface of the case, there are many others of a more serious nature, which need not here k •Pfc,fied» M they will readily »«ggest themselves to most who have been in the habit of dealing with brokers. It is £ • neceMarjr JtO do more than allude to this part of the subject, as every man's own experience will supply sufficient illnstration.

It may be asked why this equitable and above-board mode of doing business has not been already introduced into this country ? For this neelect the public have only to thank their own supineness. The question, however, has been already agitated in more qaar- ters than one, and we have reason to know that measures are now in progress, which will probably result in our own city taking the lead in introducing a better state of thines.— Bdin. burgh Advertiser. 6 RETURN OF RAILWAY DEPOSITS.

A conscientious discharge of our duty, however, com- pels us to speak the truth, and to lay the case in all its naked- ness before the public. Where honor fails to control the actions of a committee, they may procrastinate from one ses- sion to another, for, unfortunately, there is nothing in the lAW, notwithstanding the meddling and amending it has received at Inr.H » «0ve"?m1en.t> compel a provisional committee lkelr constUaeDts- rhe statute does not K ACT OF PARLIAMENT has been obtained.

A bill in Chancery would compel a full and clear account of all receipts and expenditure to be given, which, although more expensive than it ought to be, would be a mere trifle to a united body of shareholders deter- mined on a reckoning with managers who might delay fulfil- ling their trust. One by one, one and all of the committee may be thus brought up and examined, and their property confiscated and it would be strange indeed if any scheme might not thus be made to realise 20s, in the pound to its subscribers. There need be little fear, however, of any such proceeding taking place. Men of property are generally men of honour—or men at least who have some reputation to lose -and they well know the cheapest and the best way to escape exposure is to be honest. It is their interest to be so. There may. therefore, be much delay, causiug heart-burnings and ill-will, which had much better be avoided, but there will be few, if any, ultimate defalcations. This is taking matters at their worst. But there is a better and brighter side to the ptcture. The period for application to parliament once fairly over, we doubt not to witness cordial explanations and meet- ings of promoters and subscribers—of candid avowals on the one part, and unhesitating reliance on the other. By its mode of proceeding parliament will make its hands quite sufficiently full of business this session with the schemes already adver- tised for its investigation, and any greater number would have but added to the expense, and increased the risk of all To those deferred till next year there is, therefore, awarded abun. dant time to mature their plans, and obtain increase ot sup- port from the localities through which the respective projects pass. That independent course of action which has hitherto kept us from pandering to the success of individual schemes prevents us saying more—our duty to our readers has pre- vented us saying less.—Bradshaiv's Railway Gazette.

BEER.-The celebrated Professor Liebig says that wine, spirits, and beer, are necessary principles for the impor- tant process of respiration and it would seem that the stomachs of all mankind, teetotallers included, wilt secrete those articles from the food which is eaten. We see frequently interesting evidence of this fact in the case of a horse, after a feed of corn, resuming his journey with readiness and energy, although quite knocked up and out of breath a few minutes before. The simple fact is, that the horse converts the corn into beer, which facilitates his powers of respiration, and gives him fresh vivacity. If any man is resolved to carry out total abstinence strictly, he must refuse every sort of vegetable food, even bread itself; for all such diet contains more or less alcohol. In the Geographical Society's Journal (vol. ii. p. 286), it is recorded that during a severe winter on the west coast of Africa, the crew of the jEltta suffered so much from scurvy that the least scratch had a tendency to become a dangerous wound. Captain Belcher states, that 11 fish diet was found to aggravate the complaint; and it is worthy of remark, that when our ships used to suffer so much from scurvy, stock fish was a portion of their allowance. The only thing which appeared materially to check the disease was beer made of the essence of malt and hops; and I feel satisfied that a general issue of this on the coast of Africa would be very salutary, and have the effect especially of keeping up the constitutions of men subjected to heavy labour in boats.Quarterly Journal of Agriculture. CBOWDIKG OF GBA-V. YARDS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. -One can scarcely credit that any person can be so igno- rant or so unprincipled, as to assert that the Public Health suffers no injury from the existence of places from which immense volumes of these poisonous gases are constantly in process of evolution, and that, too, in localities where the compactness and the immense number of the living population must alone tend considerably to diminish the quantity of the pabulum vitoe, the element indispensable for existence—the oxygen of the atmosphere. In large towns, and among a compact population, where the daily expenditure of nervous and muscular energy of the ma- jority of its inhabitants is so constant and so excessive— where with the professional, the literary man, the artisan, and the various classes of a most industrious and hardly- worked community, the toe of the night (more especially in crowded busy neighbourhoods) treads on the heel of the morrow, and the toil of the day is scarcely permitted to be forgotten in the repose of the night-how important is it to themselves, their relations or dependents, and the society of which they are units, that during the period when their power of resistance against malarious influence 1* weakened by sleep, the atmosphere they are insensibly breathing should be in as pure a condition, or, in other words, as free from mechanical admixture, as possible! Mow important is it, I repeat, that present legislation should retrieve the errors of the past'. A superior edu- cation, and pecuniary means, enable the higher classes of society to looate themselves beyond the reach (at least. they think so) of malarious influence. The principle is a selfish one-the practice even more than doubtful. May they be warned in time! They have never, as yet, roused themselves from their dangerous dreaming, until the shadows, generally dimly outlined in the distance, have stridden as the destroying angel over their own tbresholds.-Interment and Disinterment; by G.
