It is tound from experience in American prisons that convicts condemned for life frequently procure their dis- charge sooner than those who are sentenced for limited periods.

An experi- ment was recently made, and from the time the wheat was put in the mill to grind, until it was turned into well baked biscuit, 25 minutes only elapsed.

ADVERSE MAJORITIES.—ON the 12th of Jan., 1784, the new Ministry of Pitt was twice left in a minority, once of 39, the second time of 54. This not inducing tiiPin to resign, a series of motions was made to compel them to do so. It was never ventured, however, to stop the supplies. Between Jan. 12 and March 8, fourteen motions,, besides those which passed without a division, were carried against the Ministers with various, but on the whole, decreasing majorities, the last only by a majo- rity of one.

The Minister saw that the time was now come when a disolution was likely to tell in his favour, and it took place accordingly March 2.5. ^NIXNIXG A BET.—A dancer at the Grand Theatre, named Bourrachori, dining out last week with another actor and the chief mechanist of the theatre, proposed to ins companions to go to a scooting zallery, and practise pistol-firing.

THE HOUSE OF PERCEVAL.—The origin of the wealth 'and power of the Egmont branch of this great house, are to be "attributed to the following fortuitous circumstance: —Whilst the Court of Spain was meditating the Armada, an English ship susceeded in taking, from a Spanish vessel, letters from the Low Countries, which, by intima- tions from abroad, were known to contain the secret. Those letters being brought to Lofd Burleigh were laid by his Lordship before Queen Elizabeth in Council but the contents being in-cipher, the Lord Treasurer proposed that the papers should be entrusted to Richard Perceval, one of his protegees, who returned them the day after they were placed in his hands, to her Majesty in person, deciphorecl, translated, and fairly transcribed in Spanish. Latin, and English. This was the first certain intelli- gence of the Spanish design, and Perceval was admitted instantly into the Queen's favour, and from that moment his road to honour and fortune was open and unimpeded. AN ARISTOCRAT NATURE—The idle man is, in fact the only true aristocrat of nature—others work, he looks on. He walks about the world with his hands in his pockets, and sees other men doing their duties in that state of life unto which it has pleased God to call them. He smiles himself superior! Yet as idleness opens his heart, and disposes it to pity, and all other peaceful and contemplative virtues, he is sorry for them. If anything can anger him (which is difficult, seeing that it requires some exerl ion to put himself in a passion), but if anything can ruffle him, it is to see the offensive pride which those nuisances called active people take in their miserable avocations. To see how they will rise at six in the morning with impertinent alacrity, as if tire day could not dawn without their assistance! To see what courtiers and sycophants they are, regularly attending the sun's levee, and how they will brag of their familiarity with him, and say—" I was up with the sun this morning"— putting themselves on a par with that great luminiary, as it were, "hail fellow, well met!" between them. Then how envious and officious they are they take delight in entering the chamber of the idle man, who is harmlessly and virtuously asleep at noon day, and wake him from his calm slumbers with the noisy assurance, that they have being stirring since six o'clock Stirring what an employment foranything above the capacity of a spoon! But this barbarous custom of theirs.is but a slight inflic- tion compared with other malicious devices which they employ against the harmless objects of their hatred-the idle man.— The Keepsake.

Foreign Intelligence. SPA rz;L'eutenant-General Evans returned to Vit- toria on the 25th of December from Pampeluna and Logrono. The fine corps of Volunteers of Giupuscoa, or Cha- pelgorris, renowned for their activity in the field and their bravery, have been put under the immediate orders of Lieutenant-General Evans, who, according to the commander-in-chief's (General Cordova's) instructions, is going to give them a new organization. The strength of the corps (now about 800) will be increased to 1,000 men, and for active operations they will be attached by companies to nre arrrerem v/r will thus be able to keep their flanks and rear clear of the harrassing fire of small inimical parties, who usually gall troops in the mountain warfare in which we are pre- sently to be engaged. Besides this great advantage 11 cl which will be derived from the junction of that excellent light corps to the Legion, another favourable impression o is made by this proof of the most perfect harmony pre- vailing between the Spanish and British troops, and their generals and commanding-officers. The Lieutenant- General was received with loud cheers from the new battalion, which was reviewed and incorporated in the Legion on the 26th, whilst the Legion was parading on the high road. The Carlists continue to occupy with their principal forces, the line from Castillo de Gucbara to Mondragon, and the adjoining small towns. Head-quarters at Onate. They are badly off for provisions, clothing, and pay, and nothing has been heard respecting the offensive movement projected towards Arragon at Catalonia, though they have entertained the project for some time; on the contrary, the latest intelligence from those provinces is very favourable to the Queen's cause. BARCELONA, Jan. 5.—Since the retreat of the Nava- rese under Guergue, and the successes of Mina, the Carlist cause in Catalonia seemed to be almost extinct. The news of the massacre of a company of soldiers of the line at Brough, and of a small detachment of the National Guards at Esparaguerra by the Carlists, came the more unexpected and more provoking to the ears of the population of this city, as they were the acts of the band of Mosen Tristanis. These irritating tidings had been preceded by the similar one, that the Carlists, shut up by Mina in the convent of Nostra Senora del Ilort, had massacred their prisoners, to the number of thirty- three. The greatest excitement accordingly prevailed in Barcelona, and during the day of the 3d, the rumour and talk of the coflee-liouses were the necessity of making reprisals. On the 4th, the crowds collected before the theatre and before the palace. A deputation, with Col. Gironella, of the 6th battalion of the National Guard, at its head, went to demand of General Alvarez, who com- manded in the absence of Mina, the delivering up of the Carlists then in the prisons of the city. Alvarez tried to put thenVoff by promising to convene, on the next day, a tribunal composed of the ofiicers of the National Guard. The deputation declared itself dissa- tisfied with the reply, and said that the people would not wait for such useless formalities. In consequence, at six o'clock, they began to menace the citadel. A host of from twenty to thirty boys advanced with torches to set tire to the bridge which leads to the citadel; the people collected more and more numerous with stones an ] arms cf "M kinds, and the garrison showed signs of rir.g irPthfir fel:!¡n3s. Ladders were placcd to the walls of the citadel, and the people were soon the masters of them. The prisoners, to the number of more than a hundred, found there, were forthwith shot. Amongst these victims was an Italian, called Cavalli, colonel under Napoleon, who had been recently sent by Don Carlos to Paris and to Genoa, and who had been arrested in Madrid. During the horrible catastrophe, however, the city was illumitated, and the National Guard under arms, but neither taking part in or against the execution. Towards 10 o'clock, t!.e corpse of the Carlist chief, O'Donnei, was dragged through the streets and burned in the square before the theatre. Towards 11 o'clock the crowd had almost dispersed, when some wretches seized the remains of the half-consumed body of O'Donne!, and using them as a kind of banner, cried out" rle Altarazuna" a place towards the end of the promenade, where several prisoners were kept. The troop of ruffians soon grew in a more formidable crowd, to whose menaces the guard dare not refuse the surrender of sixteen prisoners .committed to their care. These six- teen were also immediately massacred. This morning, Tuesday the 5th, there was no longer any trace of these murders, except the marks of blood. There was a review of the National Guard, and the coffee-house politicians, in their heated temper, talked of the necessity of proclaiming anew the Constitution of 1812. IU TONNE, Jan. 9-—The fort of Fan Anter de Gue- taria, had Iven summoned to surrender, but the gallant Atalora gave a soldier's answer, thougii his garrison are very turbulent. The Carlists before San Sebastian have fired fiom their two cannons planted at Antigua upon the boats of the French vessels of war. San Sebastian has already re- ceived a reinforcement of tieD men, and 4,500 more are expected. Two thousand troops ought to suffice to dis- iodge the Carlists, and the British corps will probably effect this, unless Monteuegro receives an addition of forces. Two merchants of San Sebastian have been killed bv a bomb from the citadel. The ISarccloina letters, which reach to the 8th, show that former ones did not exaggerate the dangers of the frontiers, thougii fortunately these dangers were averted in a great measure by the courage of a British oificer. The stone of the Constitution of 1812 was, as we mentioned, erected on the PUlzu before the Palace of the Captain- General; and the National Guard, both infantry and c-ivalry, hastened to the spot and drew up—the cavalry with the intention of supporting the Governor, but a considerable portion of the infantry evidently inclining to the cause of the Constitution. At this critical moment, Senhor Gironella, commanding the 6th battalion of the National Guard, hastened to the presence of Alverez, the Captain-General per interim, and declared that resis- tance was useless, and that the only hope of averting a massacre was by proclaiming the Constitution of 1812. The C oannander of the cavalry of the National Guard, however, told a directly contrary story, calling Gironella at the same time a traitor and a liar. Go down yourself to the Flaza (continued the brave man), speak to the National Guards yourself, and you will find that it is only a small band of pertubators who are so desirous and clamorous for the Constitution. General Alvarez was in- spirited by this bold apostrophe, and prepared to go down to address the guards, sending first an officer to speak with Gironella's battalion, and announce the Ge- neral's intention to parley. in As Alvarez was going down, lie was met by Captain Sir Hyde Parker, commanding his Majesty's ship the Rodney, who instantly opposed any idea of parley. He said, that if the Constitution were proclaimed, that he would instantly quit the harbour with the naval force un" der his command but that if the Governor remained firm, lie would land 700 tnen instantly, and place them as his disposal. General Alvarez instantly adopted the advice of the English n-ival officer. Instead of going to address the National Guards, or parley with the more mutinous, tie gave orders to all who adhered to the government to come and draw up on his side. All the cavalry and two-thirds of the infantry obeyed instantly. Whilst the majority were thus passing under the order of the Go- vernor, he caused the torches, which were around the stone of the Constitution, to be put out, and the stone itself to be thrown down. The manoeuvre concluded, Alvarez advanced at the head of the cavalry of the 10th battalion of the National Guard, towards the mutinous bands, and ordering the infantry to point their guns and be ready to fire, he asked, "Who is now for the Constitu- tion ? No one answering, word was not given to fire, But the cavalry charged and dispersed the groups, which soon disappeared, so that by nine o'clock not a vestige remained of the disorder. On the 6th, the following day, the National Guard was reviewed by Alvarez on the Rambla. Proclamations were issued, and several arrests took place. Gironella and fifteen others wtrc transported on board the Rodney. The El Catalati paper is suppressed, and its editor, Xandero, pursued. The Russian Vice-consul is arrested, and the Sardinian is said to be in the same predicament. Mina arrived on the evening of the 6th, and published a proclamation, expressive of Is surprise and regret. UNITED STATES.—New York papers to the 24th ult. state that public meetings have been called in various districts of the city and by various companies. The mer- chants and the corporation have passed resolutions characterised by that active and liberal humanity which, instead of wasting itself in wordy condolence, holds out the hand of help. Nor is it in New York alone that this spirit has been manifested. Philadelphia has deeply sympathised and nobly contributed; and the General Congress has come forward on the first spur of the oc- casion with a promptitude that reflects the highest credit on its proceedings. A correspondent of I The New York Advertiser thus describes the proceeding of the Con- gress ;—" In the House, Mr. Chambreleng presented a bill, which was referred to a select committee, that all moneys due to the United States, by the sufferers, for duties, &c., prior to the 17th inst., be cancelled, by the debtors giving a note with surety for the sum, payable in three, four, or five years, as the Custom-house officers at New York may think expedient. Another section of the bill provides that the Secretary of the Treasury be in- structed to loan to the New York banks any amount of money now in the public Treasury, which is not wanted for the immediate use of the governmt'nt. Both resolu- tion received a second reading, and were ordered to be printed. As soon as may be, they are to receive the fur- ther attention of the house; you may be certain that both houses would do every thing that can be done, as the best and most anxious feeling pervades all parties in res- pect to the calamity." Another proposition which has b;'en made is still un- der the consideration of. government, as there are difficul- ties in the way of its adoption. The proposition is to remit the duties and all claims of the government upon the property 4estroyed. It is unnecessary to name the different towns within the union which have taken up the subject in the spirit of which l'halidelphia had set so noble an example, it is enough to say generally that the most praiseworthy exertions are going forward in every quarter. The following is given as a rough summary of the goods destroyed at the great New York fire :-20,000 chests of tea, 12,000 hags of coffcp, 3,000 boxes of Cuba sugar, 500 bags of saltpetre, 40,000 gallons of sperm oil, several thousand bags of pimento, a large quantity of brandy and indigo. Of dry goods, two or three large stocks of American manufacture were burned, but the destruction was chiefly of foreign fabrics, and, in propor- tion to the quantity in market, heaviest of all on French goods. One curious circumstance occurred at t,ie late fire at New York, which is another instance of the extraordinary fortune, vulgat, luck," that has attended the career of of that extraordinary man, Mr. Rothschild. The premises belonging to him, containing about 60,0001. worth of quicksilver, although nearly surrounded by premises that fell a prey to the flames, esctiped without any damage. Neither of the theatres in New York sutfered from the dreadful conflagation in that city, which will, however, be injurious to their interests for some time to come, from the extent of the mischief and the great number of persons whose property will be involved in the calamity. BRITISH AMERICA.—The 'St. John's (New Bruns- wick) Courier,' of the 5th day of December, contains the following on the subject of Timber Duties:— We are glad to find that the change recommended by a select committee in the House of Commons in the duties on timber has roused our fellow-colonists to a sense of their danger from the operation of such a mea- sure. The example set by our merchants has been fol- lowed in Frederiction, Miramichi, St. Andrew's, and the counties of Gloucester and Kent; in each of which places public meetings have been held, and petitions to the Im- perial Parliament prepared, setting forth the great loss which the colonies and the nation at large would sustain by a' reduction of the duties on wood favourable to fo- reigners." Letters from Miramichi, under date 1st Dec., state that the hopes that had been entertained that the strong easterly wind would break up the ice, aiid enable the ves- sels to quit that port, had been disappointed. Several schooners from Quebec, with flour, and others from the island, vmi -T-,rmluc(,, &c., were expected, and their pon-" arrival would be severely felt in a scarcity of articles of necessity. There were frozen in, together with several vessels from neighbouring colonial ports, the bark Diana of Hull, and the brig Margaret, of Bideford.

Law and Police Intelligence. THE LATE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—In the Court of King's Bench on Wednesday se'nnight, the Attorney- General moved for a rule to show cause why a rule in the nature of a quo warranto should not issue, calling upon Hobert Major and Medger to shew by what authority they exercised the office of Town Councillors for the borough of Poole. lIe felt it his duty to state, gross misconduct attached to the late Mayor of that bo- rough, in the election of Town Councillors on the 26th of December last, under the New Municipal Bill. Un- fortunately, in the first elections, there was no check up- on the conduct of the Mayor, but m the future elections that would not be the case. It appeared by the affidavits which he held in his hand, that the Mayor, having held his election under the new Act, returned the two gentle- men, whom he made the present application, as Town Councillors, who had not a suffcicnt number of votes to entitle them to be elected. Their Lordships were aware that by a clause in the Municipal Act the poll is conducted in the following manner. Th« voters hand in signed lists, containing the name of the candidate for whom they vote. These lists are received by the Mayor, who, alter having examined them, declares who has got the greatest numbers of vo!ps. The Act allows the inspection of the voting papers within the six months, but it was complied with by the Mayor in a very unsatis- factory and shuffling manner in the present case. It ap- peared that there were two lists put in, in the name of William Eyres, one of the v oters, although he swears that he only deposited one he had been induced some days previously to siSIl another voting paper, but that -*• one he had never made use of, and it had been put into the box without his uuthority. Iivshort, gross corruption appears to have prevailed, and it would be only necessary for him to put the Court in possession of the facts to en- title him to the rule prayed ibr. Under the new Muni- cipal Act the borough of Poole was divided into two wards—the north-west ward and the south-east ward, and the gentlemen against whom he moved we.e candidates for the office of Town Councillors in the latter ward. For that ward theie was 168 registered burgesses, of whom nine were ab-ent and did not vote, reducing the number of voters to 153 There were nine Councillors to be elected for each ward, and he held in his hand the affidavits of 84 of the 159 voters, and affidavits accounting for the votes of five others, making 89. According to his instructions, it appeared that two persons, named Salter and Conway, should have been returned, although Major and Medgar were returned by the Mayor. Of the 89 votes for which he (the Attorney-General) could account, Sal- ter had 88, aud Conway 87, Major 5, and Medgar 4. If these 89 votes were taken from the 159, there would remain only 70 unaccounted for, and supposing all these 70 voted for Major and Medgar, then 70 plus 4 and plus 6, would given Major 76, and Medgar 74. That was the utmost number which these two gentlemen could by possibility have, while his affidavits proved that Salter had 88, and Conway 87. There was thus an absolute demonstration of the fact, that the two persons who were not returned had a majority of at least ten votes over the two who were returned by the Mayor. Mr. Justice Lit- tledale Even if the five whose affidavits you have not yet got voted for Major and Medgar, they would not have the majority. The Attorney-General: They would not, my Lord. Court: You may take a rule.—Rule granted. CORPORATION OF BATII.—Lust week in the Rolls' Court, in the case 'the Solicitor-General v. the Corpora- tion of hath,' his honour said that this information was filed for the purpose of having a due administration of certain charity property granted to the corporation of Bath by a patent of King Edward the Sixth. The pro- C' was described as being 111 Bath and in the suburbs, corporation, out of the proceeds of the property, were to pay lot. per annum to a schoolmaster, and to relieve ten poor persons. By a decree of the Commis- sioners of Charitable Uses, the Corporation was directed to set out the metes and bounds of the charity-lands, and the sums which had been received as fines in the renewal of leases, under the penalty of 5,000/. That decree was never acted upon. The present information had since been filed, it having been ascertained that several large sums of money had been received by the corporation as fines, and which, it was alleged, they had appropriated to their own use. His Honour went through the circum- stances of the case, and upon the whole was of opinion that the following reference should be made. He directed a reference to the Master to ascertain what the charity- property originally consisted of, and as to what part of it was now forthcoming, and whether it would be advisable that any of the leases granted by the corporation should be set aside. He also directed a reference for a scheme for the management of the charity, the Master to have leave to state special circumstances. A PARISH PAUPER.—Mrs. Malpas, a very comfort- ably dressed old Scotchwoman, came before Mr. Conant, attended by her solicitor, to complain against her land- lord. After the charge was dispo. ed of and she was pre- paring to leave the office, Mr. Bryant, the overseer of St. James's, came forward and begged leave to ask her a few questions. Mr. Bryant told Mr. Conant that Mrs. Mal- pas had for many years received parish relief, and she was then in the receipt of 2s. 6d. per week from St. James's. Ile had recently heard that she was in posses- sion of considerable property, and therefore she was not a proper object for parish bounty. Mr. Bryant: Now, Mrs. Malpas, I want you to answer a few questions. How much money have you in the Bank of England ? Mrs. Malpas (affecting to misunderstand): Ay, there's penny o' siller in the Bank o' England but sure as deeth I'm 110 able to tell ye hoo muckle. Mi. Bryant You know very well what I said. How much have you there ? Mrs. Malpas Not a bawbee o' my ain. Mr. Bryant: Come, then, I'll put it this way; what interest do you receive yearly from the Bank ? Mrs. Malpas It's not worth speaking about It wadna do mair than find a boddy in sneeshiu. Mr. Bryant: How much is it ? Mrs. Malpas Three or four Pounds. Mr. Bryant: What is the amount of the annuity you receive from one of the priiieesses ? Mrs. Malpas: Annuity ah, it's no an annuity. It's just charity to a puirauld boddy. Mr. Conant: I think these questions hardly fair. We can do nothing now, as our jurisdiction is gone; and you are drawing 011 this woman to criminate herself. Mr. Bry- ant I pledge the parish to take no steps against Mrs. luarpas. I have csuibliiticd the fact of hew- 1-.vine- at 1 least 100/. in the Bank of England, and I am credibly informed she has an annuity from one of the princesses of 201. a-yeaal I shall stop her parish allowance, and lay the case before the Board.—The matter here ended. A DELFMMA.—At the Mansion House last week, an unfortunate female, of the lowest class, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having run away with a coat and waistcoat of a gentleman who was stated to be a brother of a Member of Parliament. The facts were rather odd, as was the complainant himself, who is an elderly, stout, sad-looking person, and who appeared in a coat and waistcoat which had evidently been made for a man of smaller dimensions. The scene was as fol- lows :—The complainant My Lord, I am the injured person in this business. I was last night in Bishopsgate- street, and I saw a good many poor devils about, who looked as if they wanted something to drink; so I slipped off my coat and waistcoat, and told this woman fo go to the next pawnbroker, and spout 'em for all she could get (laughter). Well, I waited at the comer of Petticoat-lane until I became so precious cold that I went to look after her, but I soon found that she had bolted. The Lord Mayor: Bolted! I suppose you mean she ran off with your coat and waistcoat ? Complainant: Just so, my Lord; it was a regular clean bolt. So I said to a woman that was with her when I gave her the cloathes. An't this a shame that I should be stripped, when I meant only what was right? but what did she do, but I hope I may be obliged to take tea, if she didn't bolt too (laughter). The Lord Mayor You seem to be very fond of that word bolt." Is it not rather strange language for a person in your station in life to use ? Complainant (not seeming to comprehend his Lordship): I assure you, my Lord, that both bolted like bricks; so I ran after them, and I called to the police, and the officers bolted after them like shot, and grabbled this one, and she can tell all about it (great laughter). A police- man stated that he saw the complainant come out of a gin-shop about half muzzy, but with his coat and waist- coat on. Five minutes afterwards witness saw him take off his coat and waistcoat and give them to a female, who turned the corner and disappeared. Witness had no idea that any thing unfair was contemplated, and did not inter- fere till the complainant told him that the coat and waistcoat had walked off to the pawnbroker's. The pri- soner had been in company with the woman who was said to have Lolted. The Lord Mayor (to the complain- ant) You can't say that this woman took your coat and waistcoat ? Complainant: She bolted as well as the other, that's what I know. If she wasn't down to the move, why did she bolt, I'd be glad to know ? Neither you nor I would bolt for nothing (laughter). The land- lord of the house where the complainant lodged said that the gentleman was a person of peculiar habits, whose pocket his brother had been obliged to restrain, tor two pints of beer would have the effect of pouring out 100 sovereigns in a minute amongst the distressed if the gen- tleman had that sum about him. Here the complainant shed tears, but the coat he had on was too tight about the back and shoulders that he could not put up one of his hands to wipe his eyes without throwing his other arm in a very awkward manner behind him. C, The waist- coat, too, was so tight, that he was obliged to leave un- buttoned the whole of the lower part of it. Added to this, was the eflect of two pints of porter which he had swallowed at his breakfast. The Lord Mayor: I am very sorry, Sir, that I can do you no service in the case, except it may be of service to you to advise you not to get into such company again. Complainant: What would you have me to do, my Lord, if I should be so un- fortunate ? The Lord Mayor: Do! why bolt, to be sure (laughter). Complainant (with energy): Bolt! You'r right, my Lord, I hope I may be smothered in tea if) don't bolt (great laughter). DOCTERING A Sow.—At the Shropshire Sessions, Thomas Crudington, a tailor, was indicted for maliciously killing a sow belonging to Thomas Rarratt, at Astley Ab- botts. The prosecutor's son stated that he saw the sow in prisoner's ground, and prisoner beating her violently with a large hedge-stake, six feet long; he asked prisoner to desist, but he continued to belabour the sow, and swore that he would serve them all alike. The prisoner and prosecutor's family has often quarrelled. The sow was far gone in farrow, she was put into the sty, and died in five days after. Cross-examined by Mr. Whatley. Pray, had not this poor lady been in a delicate state for some time ? Witness: What lady? Why, the old sow:— No; she was rather weakih, but she was never off her meat. Had she not been bled ?-No. What did you not cut her tail?—No, it's on now, but the doctor nicked the end off to revive her after the beating. Do you remember challenging the prisoner ? Yes, faith, for he made me pay 10s. 6d. for it. How many times has your sow been in prisoner's orchard ? Ah! I should like to know how many times his cow has been in our ground ? How often has any other of your pigs been in his orchard? Only one, and then broke its leg. W t.:l, you may go on The old sow died, the bell did toll —and the little pigs prayed for the old sow's soul" (loud laughter). Mr. Bather having called the next wit- ness, he made his appearance in a srr-ock-frock. Oh (said Mr. Whatley) lieie is the Surgeon Witness de- posed that he saw the patient, and though she was hurt about the lines gave her an aperient, which had no effect; male a post-mortem examination, and found crushes and brushes sufficient to cause death. Mr. Whatley Did you give her any emetic ? I gave her summut. What was it ? Ah if I tell, everybody will be as wise as myself (laughter). You must tell. Well, I dunna mind telling you by yourself. No, that won't do you must out with it. And out it did come at last, very reluctantly, and the great secret was a mixture of salts and liquorice Did you feel the lady's pulse ? Was she feverish ? Rather. Did she put out her tongue, or did you look at it ? To be sure I looked at it. Now is that the mostapproved way of treating a sick sow? Aye; but sows die in the family way, as well as other folks (laughter). Are you a bone-setter? Why, I set the leg of other pig, and made a good cure. Where did you study? Under feyther, 011 Shirlet Common (laughter). Where did you find the sow's kidney: Was it not in the ba-k-bone ? No; in her lines, where it ought to be. Mr. Whatley then submitted that the proof of malice required by the Act had not been sub- stantiated, and the Court being of the same opinion, the prisoner was discharged.

Farmers' and Gardeners' Chronicle. SPADE HUSBANDRY.—It is proved by the trial now giving to spade husbandry by the most respectable agriculturists in the neighbourhood of Eastbourne, that digging land is cheaper than ploughing it. They complied with tho petition of ten surplus labourers for this work at ÙS. per acre, which is fully equal to three times ploughing, which costs 30s. per acre. May we not therefore hope that future ar- rangements will be made by these and other agriculturists to continue the system of digging, which will occupv the surplus labourers, lessen the number of horses, the food of which may be given to oxen, stall fed, and produce manure, on the ample supply of which the success of all farming depends, as appears by the success of the Scotch farmers, who are enabled by this system to send fatted meat to the London markets by steam. For the first of stall feeding in Sussex, without quitting their shelter from tho end of April to the 1st of December, 1835, Mr. J. P. Gorringe has re- ceived a silver cup, value five guineas, and the same is to be given at the next Lewes show for the best pair of bul- locks which have been longest in stall, without being tied up or quitting their sl)elter.-Stissex Advertiser. To TURNIP GROWERS.—A turnip of the green topped kind was pulled a fortnight ago, from the lands of Mr. Whitfield, of Cantlop, Salop, measuring forty four inches in circumference, and weighing when cleared from leaves and soil 23 lbs. 0 DISEASES OF CATTLE.—Mr. P. Dowling has written a yery valuable treatise, which has been published by Martin Keene and Son, Dublin, 011 the parturition of the cow, and the extraction of the calf; and also on the diseases of cattle in general, with their most approved method of treat- ment," of which the Irish Farmer's and Gardener's Maga- zine' of the present month, a much better judge of such subject, than the Packet,' speaks as follows We have often thought it extraordinary how few practical men are to be found in the different parts of Ireland who are well acquainted with the diseases of cattle and their cure; al- though it cannot be doubted but skilful persons in an ex- tensive cattle country must necessarily have much practice; and we would suggest that some exertions were made by agricultural societies to encourage intelligent persons to embark as practitioners in this most useful avocation. We dmit, a Cow Leech, as thev are termed, may be procured in some populous places, but their knowledge seldom goes beyond simple cases, and when matters of difficultv occur, they are often more puzzled how to act than those who have required their advice and assistance. It is, therefore, with much pleasure we have to announce to our readers a woll- digested work on this subject, which not only gives valu- able information, founded on practical experience, but also the most minute directions for putting it into execution. The author observes in his Preface, that Tho present work claims the merit of being i-etilly practical. It is the result of a practice of sixty years, during forty of which the author's father was engaged thereat, and the author himself has had the experience of twenty years on the subject of which it treats; and be can further say, that in some of those years he was employed for no less than seven hun- dred cows.' After this declaration, which is corroborated by the contents of the volume before us, wo cannot hesi- tisto to recommentf tbw workrfor tkef clcor and nimple manner in which knnowledge is communicated, and for the valuable recipes which it contains. Indeed it may be justly ob- served, that no work of the sort has been hitherto published which had detailed the process and mode of operation in many intricate cases that are likely to occur in diseases and accidents to which cattle generally are subject. Mr. Dow- ling very judiciously treats each disease under three heads, viz.:—the symptoms, the cause, and the cure; and this is most satisfactory to his readers, for it too frequently bap- pens that disorders are mistaken and improper remedies applied, which prove fatal to the animal; therefore, to have a knowledge of the symptoms of the different diseases is the first knowledge necessary, in order to become a good Cow Doctor." THE MUSHROOM STONE.-It was sent to Mr. Thorbom, of Murth, from Calabra, in Sicily, with directions to give it a little water when it appeared dry. which was generally three or four times, a week ih dry weather; and, in the course of a fortnight after I received it, a couple of mush- rooms made their appearance, which grew to be very largo I think about nine inches in diameter. They were porous beneath, in place of gill,as in the common mushroom, con- sequently they appeared rather to be a species of Boletus than a species of Agaricus. However, they were of ex- cellent Havour, and the ship-captain who brought the stone home told me that it produced three mushrooms at sea, which, he said, were very fine. In three or four weeks after the two above-mentioned were gathered, three or four more came up, and so on, for the first year. The second year it was not quite so productive and, in 1833, my suc- cessor informed me that the mushroom stone was nearlv exhausted. I think eight or ten such stones would supply an ordinary family with mushrooms for two or three years. —Gardeners' Magazine. EVASION OF THE CORN LAWS.—The importation of French agricultural produce into the islands of Guernsey and Jersey is at length felt to be a hardship by the resident farmers, and excites their opposition. Its operation on our own corn market has been the importation into Eogland of large quantities of French corn, via Guernsey and Jersey, ,or the release from local consumption of that produced in the island, their hdme markets being supplied with the French grain. In either case it has led to a direct evasion of the English corn laws. The Guernsey and Jersey far- mers— principally the lzitter-liave now put forward a pro- ject for stopping the contined importation of French produce, as most injurious-to their interests, and as unne- cessary as far as the local consumption is concerned; which project, it appears, is resisted by the British residents, those whose food is somewhat cheapened by the present state of things, and whose commercial transactions would bo likely to be effected by any change. Public meetings are now holding at Jersey on the subject, and in a few days we shall be enabled to state to our readers the result of their deliberations.-Shipl)in(r Gazette. DESTRUCTION OP SPARROWS.—The farmers, and many otriers in ore country, tare great pstnsTWTTesrfoy the spar- rows; but, from the following extract from IJradley's Trea- tise on Husbandry and Gardening, it would not appear that they act judiciously by so doing :—" A pair of sparrows, during the time they have their young to feed, destroy on an average every week 8,360 caterpillars in an hour These birds also feed their young with butterflies and other winged insects, each of which, if not destroyed in this manner, would be the parents of hundreds of caterpillars and what those gentry would do in the gardens, &c., we need not tell. BEET-ROOT SuoAn.—A correspondent of the 'Times' says that the manufacture of the beet-root sugar has been pro- digiously extended in France since 1820; and that the process of manufacture has undergone so great an improve- ment that within the last five years the sugar made out of beet-root has become in every respect equal to that of Co- lonial origin, so as not to be at all distinguishable from Colonial sugar. It is expected that the produce for 1835, will amount to 40,000,000 kilogrames. The price of the article in the retail shops is one franc per pound. TRANSPLANTING TRIEES.-Tliis is the best time for trans. planting large trees on the curious and important plan re- cently introduced by Sir H. Stuart. Any tree, even from 25 to 30 feet high, may be transplanted in this way :—A hole is dug for its reception a vear before its removal. The tree is then dug under, and the roots are, with the utmost care, separated from the' earth until very nearly all have been loosened. A large engine is then carried to the tree, it is no moro than a long pole on an axle and wheels. The pole is lashed upright to the tree, it is then pulled to a ho- rizontal position over the axle, and of course the tree is dragged with it. A ball of earth is left close to the stem the roots and branches are tied up, and the tree is carried in a balanced position to its destination. The roots are then liberated, and the tree is let down into the pit, and with the utmost caution and precision, the roots, tier by tier, are embedded in the sand by experienced workmen, and so expeditiously are they incorporated with the soil, that there is no necessity for artificial props to support the tree. The expense of this removal averag-es from ten to thirteen shilling-s.

IW,I.& -r-L mm T S. LCNDON"—MONDAY, JAN. IS, 18:jS. Although there was a better supply of wheat, yet higher prices were again demanded at the opixing of the marktt this morning, which caused the millers to hold off at the early part of the (,ay, but the favourable accounts received from most of the country markets, soon brought forward many buyers, whrri consi-.li luhle business was transacted at an improvement of 18, to '2s. per quarter on the currency of this day se'nnight, with improved demand for all sorts. Choice chevalier barley com- manded over last Monday's prices, and was in fair request, but the middling and ordinary qualities were not so free sale, and tli • turn c heaper. IViait ot line quality met a fair sale at the rates of L-t week, other sorts were very dull. Beans were in goo demand at rather more money th in was obtained dur- ing the week. Peas met a slow demand, an,1 were cheaper. Ther.? was a fair sale for oats, and the choice lieavv corn fresh up this morning brought an advance of Is. per quarter on the quotations ot this day se'nnight. Fine Irish were also nearly as much dearer, but light samples and bulks out of condition were not higher. Bonded grain was held firmly at last week's currency.

The week's supply of flour and oatmeal ave. to a fair amount, but of other articles of the trade the imports are below the usual demands of our local miller. The recent advance in prices of wheat has rather cliccked the speculative demand of last week, nor have the millers bought wi-fi 10 nnvh freed;1* hut the limited amount of the supply has prevented any rc: acrion several parcels of fair Irish red wheat have, been re- tailed during the week at [i,. !W. to 5*. 1CW., and a little fine has reached G..3.

We have nothing to report in bonded wheat or floui", some inquiries have been made as to the former, but they hav c not led to business, At this morning's market the business in wheat was confined to the purchases of the town's millers, and these were only to a very limited amount, at about the rates of last Tuesday. The improvement noted in flour was fully sup- ported. There were very few oats at market, aud we must quote all descriptions Id. per 451bs. dearer.
