      Public attention in the colony has beenlately directed id agriculture ,: the staple indtistry of all cpuittriesj especially new . countries | and nothitig appears wanting to _ a fn pdevelopment of the ample resotii-ces of the colony in this ajrection , but ; one . thing—freedom . The present land system stops the way ; and any settlement of this question , on such a basis as will induce : to extra agricultural exertions , and tempt populatipni seems remote . The Board of Agriculture are , however , displaying great activity / A motion has been carried to the effect that ; samples of soils should : be collected from difFerent parts of the country , and submitted for analysis by the government analytical chemist , and that the government geologist should re + port on their eharacteri & e ,, and that a sum of money , necessary to cover cost of samey should ; 1 } e furnished by the government > also , that pi ^ encouragement of agricultural experiments in differ & iit parts of

      as aide-de-camp and assistant secretary to the Duke of Wellington , with whom lie remained till lSl' 1 . lie was present duringthat busy and exciting period , at all the general actions , sieges , skirmishes , and other affairs ^ rincluding the battles of llusaco and Fuentes d'Onor , Ciudad : Rodrigp , Badajoz , Salainanc-h , Vittoria , the Pyrenees , San Sebastian , Orthez , etc . He was sent home from Vera Avitli despatches annbuncing the pnti-y into France , having been wounded in the chest -by a musket , ball ; He was aide-dercamp to the Prince of Orange during the campaign in the Netherlands ; and was present at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo . Many were the examples of brilliant valour shown by the lute Duke . In politics he may be described as a Liberal Conservative ; for although he opposed the repeal of the Corn Laws , he had previoxisly advocated Reform , arid at a later period supported Lord Melbourne ' s policy . To the turf , as a national institution , lit \ coinnuinicated the advantage of hanie and position ; increased its prestige , and added to its respectiibiiity ; a very necessary addition froiri time to time .

      Scientific Philosophy.? Nrvhe First Inst...

      SCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY . ? nrVHE first instalment of this extensive work is now before us . I As in its progress we shall have occasion to notice it iu detail , we shall , in this paper , give , some account of the g-eneral aim and scope of Mr . Spencer ' s system . The scheme , according to the plan before us , is divided into five parts . The nx . st is a sort oi prologue , Consisting of First Principles and these , again , are subdivided into— 1 st , the unknowable ; 2 dly , the laws of the knowable . One of the generalizatibns , classed under the latter head , Mr . Spencer tells , us , is that commonly knoAvn as the conservation of force ; another he considers may be gathered from

      one of his '' essays , " entitled " Progress , its law and cause ;" a third , from his ^ Transcendental Physiology" ( Essays ) ; and besides these , he says , there are several others . He is of opinion that , in logical ; prd 6 r , the application of these first principles to inorganic nature should follow the statement of the principles themselves , but he passes , this over in the elaboration of his plan , partly because , even without it , the scheme is too extensive as it is , and partly because the interpretation of organic nature after the proposed method is of more immediate importance . to t

      After the preliminary dissertations , therefore , we come ne nrstportion of the body of the work . This isto consist of the Principles ' . Of Biology , which will , extend to two volumes , each volume is to be ^^ divided into three parts , making six in all . —1 , the data of biology- ; 2 , the inductions of biology ; 3 , the evplution of life ; 4 , morpholog-ical development ; 5 , physiological development ; 6 , the laws of multiplication . The germs of the latter part ot this treatise will be found in various articles already published by Mr . Spencer : " The Laws of Organic ^ Forhi" ( Iredico-Chirilrgical Review , Jan . 1850 ) : " TransGendental Physiplogy" ( Essays ) ; . and " Theory of PppuMipn ^ ' ( Westminster Review ; April ; 1852 ) . 1 he second portion of the woylc will consist of tho prmciples of psychology , also extending ¦ ¦ ¦ ;¦ . ¦¦ . ¦ ¦¦ - ¦¦ -. ¦ . ¦ ¦ : ¦ . ¦ ¦ • *¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ T ^ i ¦¦ ¦ i • _ ' * . j-11 rill . ^» ¦ . i-. i » j ? + ' ei division allJhe / h
