Just published , and may be had iree of charge , a small pamphlet on Homoeopathy , by J . Silk Buckingham , Esq . MAW 8 ON' 8 HOMOEOPATHIC COCOA . —The Cocoa-nut , o * nib . contains a very large proportion of nutritive matter , consisting of a farinaceous substance , and of a rich and pleasan t oil . This oil is esteemed on account of its being leas liable than any other oil to rancidity . Homoeopathic phyaiciana are united in their recommendation of cocoa as a beverage ; and the testimonials from other sources are numerous and of the highest character . It was so highly oateemed by Linnaeus , tho chief of Naturalists , that ho named it Theobroma— " Food for the Gods . " Dr . Parelra Bays , " It is a very nourishing beverage , devoid of the ill properties possessed by both tea and coffee . " Dr . Epps , the popular lecturer on Physiology , saya : — " Mothers , while suckling , should never take Coffee ; they should suckle on Cocoa . I have the testimony of mothers who have so suckled , and they state that they found , with Cocoa without Beor , they produced quite sufficient milk , and tho children suckled with such diet were in better health than those suckled on a previous occasion , when Beer , and Coffee , and . Tea formed the liquid part of their diet . " The Bame author adds : — " Cocoa is tho best of all flavoured drinks . It is highly nutritious . " Dr . Hooper says : — " This food ia admirably calculated for the sick , and to those who are in health it is a luxury . " Many persons have been turned against tho use ot Cocoa aud Chocolate from having tried the many , and very generally iaferlor article vended at the grocers' shops undor that name . The preparation here offered by JOHN MAWSON contains all tho nutritious properties of the nut without pny objectjonablo admixture . It is , therefore , recommended aa ' an agreeablo and wholoaomo aubstitutc for Coffee , to which it ia certainly much superior , as it Ib also to tho Coooaa sold as " Soluble Cocoa , " Flake Cocoa , "&o .

      I may be allowed , asan old correspondent , to express an opinion as to its general , and by consequence its individual , tendency with , reference inore particularly to " Agricultural Associations . " That such , and indeed every association which has for its object the general good , is , and ought to be " based upon religious principles , " I had not , until reading ^ Mr . Yates s letter , the slightest shadow of a ddubt ^ and I quite agree with that gentleman ' s observation , that without such a basis , " all morality is valueless . " Mr . Y / ates , with great justice also , complains of the pausity and poverty of resistance to the temptations of " drunkenness and Sabbathbreaking , " manifested by those whose chief toil is

      that of procuring theit bread by the sweat of their brow . But let us hope that there are many exceptions , and thatthere are those over whomcome those quiet , unobtrusive moments given to reflection and penitence , and which may be , and undoubtedly are , often experienced in the ploughed field , by many a poor , hard-working labourer , or , in the crowded mart , by many a deserving artisan , as also , in those temples made by hands , wherein we too often - find the modern Pharisee , ¦ « ' thanking-God that he is not as other men are , " and holding himself up as a pattern to such of those who , as disciples of the honest Publican , content themselves by adopting his form of supplication , which was made up of the petition— " God be merciful to me a sinner . "

      But as example is before precept , I would simply recommend that those amongst our "farminycenturions " should see that'the * ' soldiers under" each division be *' trained in the way wherein they ought to go" and if found to be wilfully negligent of their duties as Christians , to withdraw both patronage and support . Then would religion ' s precept keep pace with religion's example , then would the form of godliness" in many cases be the forerunner of the . «« ¦ spirit" thereof ; and in all probability *• use would become'' their ?* second nature , " and they , like David of old , would be *• glad , when exhorted , to go -up to the house of the Lord ;" then would every country village become a Bethel , wherein would be found a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob ; " His Sabbaths would be hallowed /' and they would be a " sign" ^ between Him and them , that He was the-Lord their God .

      Lynn Regis , December 26 , 1851 . Sib , — The above rich morceau appeared lately in the Lynn Advertiser , —& paper in the " Protectionist " interest , and entitled to all consideration , —first , as the recognized mouthpiece of 'that particumr section of the West Norfolk agriculturists ; and , secondly , as occupying the proud position of " flunkey" to the whole parsondom of the district . Scarcely a week elapses but we find in the columns of this same paper some such a paragraph as the following : — " John Stiles , day-labourer , appeared on Wednesday before the Reverend so-and-so , charged with trespassing upon the lands of ( a brother magistrate ) in pursuit of game . Committed to "Walsingham Bridewell for three months' hard labour . "

      Here we have the minister of God sitting as a minister of justice to decide between the poor helpless poacher and the friend with whom he dined yesterday . And after this the reverend gentleman is surprised to find that John Stiles won ' t come to church ; that he won't join with him in prayer that his " trespasses may be forgiven him , even as he forgives the trespasses of others . John ' s intellect , it is true , is not of the higheet order , but he has sense enough to see that " the parson " is no friend to him ; he knows , from bitter experience , that , with " the parson , " forgiveness of trespasses sometimes means three months' hard labour in Bridewell , and he , therefore , determines to

      have as little to do with him as possible . His enmity to the man extends to the religion of which he is the unworthy minister . John is but a child in philosophy , and , to his mind , "the parson" is inseparably connected with the Christianity he talks about . The result is just what might be expected , he concludes the one to be as great a humbug as the other . He is now , we may presume , fully ripe to be dragooned to church under the hightpressure system of the rector of Flordon , and would , no doubt , make a very humble-minded Christian when he had lost all sense of his manhood . A word might be said upon the hypocrisy involved

      in * the assumption , whether forced or otherwise , ot the " form of godliness , " without the " spirit" thereof ; but this letter having already exceeded my original intention , I will not now enter upon that subject . In conclusion , I offer no apology ; considering the oppressed as the natural clients of the Leader , I conceive none to be necessary . I will merely observe that a remonstrance addressed to the editor . of the paper in question has been contemptuously disregarded , and that not one among the olergyjhias found it in the course of his duty to stand forward and disavow the proposition contained in that letter . Permit mo to remain , Sir , Yours very faithfully , A Layman .
