"I think 1 near a little . bird , who sings ' i _JThepeople by " "" 1 by will be the Stronger . " Bsrox . It-is now _tsometlme since we addressed . our readers on Foreign _MSurs . The multiplicity of home ques--dons which require to be weekly canvassed leaves us no room in our usual editorial department for the discussion of foreign questions . Yet events are of daily occurrence in other nations which are not onlv interesting from-their nature , bnt most of them o f vital importance to the general interests of the human race , in -which interests the people of this great -nation must necessarily have a large share . On the
European continent , in nearly everv nation , questions are being agitated , ov events are continually transpiring which deserve the serious consideration of the people of this country . For instance , thc anti-Anglican war feeling so industriously fomented in France—with the strength , hopes , and designs of the Republican party , are matters which must concern the people of England . The destinies of Spain , ¦ where liberty first betrayed by _Esrabtebo , and then strangled by the bloody hand of Narvaez , the _. tool of Christixa and Lous _Piimrra _, must be an object of solicitude to all good democrats . Jfor can-the hearings of lovely fallen Italt , va _* itlling _vuiderthchnivesof her priestly and kingly executioners _, be _resai-ded without emotion bv the advocates
of liberty in this island . The important struggle now going on in Switzerland , and the threatened intervention of foreign governments in the affairs of the . Cantons , are subjects demanding thc solemn conaderation of the English people . " The moral warfare for political and religious freedom in Germany ; the demand for . democratic reibrai in Sweden ; tiie fate of new-born Greece ; the ambitious designs of Russia and the coming day of awakening for . Poland , and the vengeance she will claim . ; are all subjects vvliich should he clearl y understood by the people of this countiy , so that when the propaganda of jDcmocraey again marches over Europe—and march it wiU—Englishmen may be prepared to play their part in the war against kings " and tvrants of every
description . " And on the American continent the subjects to be found are not few , which may be profitably discussed . Anti-Rentism , -Agrarianism , and Abolitionism , arc all questions , the facts Of -whieh thousands are too little acquainted with ; while the Texas ' and Oregon questions , daily . becoming more complicated , and -threatening serious results to this countiy , should by _dl . means be made plain and easy of comprehension . Haters of fraud and tyranny , we will expose and assail with relentless hostility the crimes of the enemies of man's rights tliroughout the world . From the iniscreant of _JfuscovTi © the _lesserdevil of Buenos
Ayres , all persecutors of their fellovr-creatures shall be . held up to the scorn and hatred ofthe world : while from Italy to Spain , li-om Poland to Gircassia , the cause of liberty shall have ouv hearty support . Too long have the nations been divided ; too long has brotherhood been but a word , and _fi-aternify a nction ; too long have profitmongers , priests , and kings kept the people of Europe in that bondage , which only allowed them the liberty of loosened wild beasts—the liberty to tear each other ' s throats . " We would , therefore , fain do something towards making _= t least the people of England , whom OUT _"WOldS may Teach , believers ha , and _practisera of tiie sublime principle of Pake— - ¦ ' " * ¦"
" The world is my country ! To do good my religion 1 " Our _r-aders will infer from the' above what we mean to do . A word as to the mode of doing it . Our mode , our one mode , will be the enunciation of the ruth . Possibly we may open up questions and advance sentiments which may alarm the prejudices of those who have not yet dared tothihkfbr themselves but . even if so , we do not despair that the cause of truth and right Will advance nevertheless . Wc shall he happy when our observations please all who may honour ns with their attention but as we shall write rather to inform than to please , we shall act on the advicQ of _Dn Foe , " neither to give nor to take quarter : " bnt
"Seize on the truth -whereverfound , " an _3 proclaim it fearless of consequences . "With this fexowlium we commence with our first subject—• THE HOLT COAT AT TREVES—IHE SEW REFOBMATIO . V . One of the most remarkable attempts ininodern times to revive the Papal power overthe minds of its votaries , was furnished by the exhibition , lately , at Treves , in . Germaivy , of _agawnent which the * _eshibitorswith daring ef & bnterypretendedwas the seamless Testure _WOlll by Jesus Cubist , and for the possession of wliich , we _. are told , ihe soldiers cast lots
at his crucifixion . The priests declare thatthe coat works miracles ; and thousands of the ignorant and deluded people , having faith in the fraud , have been making pilgrimages from great distances to worship at its shrine . Our introductory remarks to the articles "" "intended to appear under the head of " Foreign Movements" having extended to a length not or iginally , intended , we aro necessitated to confine ourselves for this week to thc following extract from an article iu _Ainswortlt ' s 2 fagazine for February , reserving comment for a future occasion : —
Thasreat event of iheRoraaa _& _ithoEcworl-l , intlieycar ibat has just passed , was the exhibition at Treves of the holiest relic of which the repertory of Borne can boast . To counteract , if _possible , the influence of those opinions in Germany , which are so decidedly opposed to the doctrines of the Romish Church , and to ajd the cause which the Jesuits are everywhere so diligently _la-booring to sustain , it was resolved to have recourse " to the hold expedient of eadeavo-aring to impress the multitude by me veiy means , which were employed to hold it in thrall before thelight of the lleformation shone upon the darkened world . No part of Europe could have Deen hetter selected for such an experiment than thc city of Trevesthe capital , in fact , if not in name , of a district , whose entire population are blindly submissive to the will of the
clergy , and whose credulity and superstition are equal to any demand that may be made upon them . The _cathedral of Treves had moreover enjoyed , for full fifteen hundred years , the reputation of Queen of the Cisalpine churches , and spite of her diminished splendour , contained within her bosom votaries as ardent and as willing io _propagate the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith as in the palmiest days of her history . The relic whicli she possessed was looked upon as the most precious object of religious adoration—miraculous properties of the highest order were ascribed to i _^ and every facility existed for aiming it to account . ' * * It was one of those " -non-Ins *' - towards the end of Septcinher , ' _ when the heavy fogs which cover the Moselle , and all the adjacent valleys , at that season of the year , a * e but the precursors of brilliant days , tliat I proceeded on my pilgrimage . * * Our course lay along the left bank of the Moselle ; and about an hour after passing the Romas monument at led , we came in sight of the towers-and spires of Treves ,
and , crossing the bridge , wluch is stall supported on its Roman foundations , we entered the city . "Weadranced OUt Slowly ; a long _proethsion , headed hy priests , with Banners floating and choristers chanting , issuing at that moment from the city gates to repair to one , of the many sanctified spots that abound in the environs of Treves . Xor , when these ha"d passed , was oik progress much quicker , owing to fhe crowds assemhleu in the streets , and the obstructions offered hy the . double line of booths set out with the memorials of the Holy Tunic , of every size and form . Some were paiuted on silk and satin , richly bordered _witli gold and enmson , —others , ti humbler pretensions , were only lithographs qr wood- ' c-uts , —aud others again aspired to the honours of line engraving- some were stamped oh linen for haridker-i chiefs ; others were formed in wax ; mid medals of silver or plated war _<^ bearing the image of the sacred robe , ' glittered on every stall and in every shop window . These -medals were the universal ornament of men , women , and
_fKldrtfli they were worn suspended from the neck by a narrow , light-Wue riband . On the obverse was the robe _shrrounded by rays , and"tliis legend in German ; "The holy coat of our Saviour , Treves , 1841 . - " - Ori the reverse an image of the Virgin , standing ou a globe , trampling down the serpent , with the rays of light issumg from her hands . The legends ran thus : " Mary * conceived without sin ; pray for us . In thee we tahe cur _renigc . " The date on this side was 1830 . Is we ? ot nearer the centre of the city , the plot seemed to thicken ; and combining this appearance with all we _htd heard , we began to fear that we should have some difficulty in finding : house-room . The large market * . place , and every avenue leadiugto it , appeared like one large fair ; here was a stall groaning beneath the
weight of sausages , rye bread , aud cookt _* d provisions of aU lands ; beside it another , piled , with . ripe fruitpeaches , grapes , and sunny aprieots ; then came others filled with toys and trinkets , combs , brushes , _lopkingglasses , books , beads , ancifises , dolls for children , smart _netklaees for grown-up girls , and rosaries for those ol fflaturcrage . _Eveothing that could pleas e the taste * _munstc-r _' to tlic physical necessities of the . country customer wash ere spread out . But it was in the Freihof- ' - flKcgxa _spacein front of the cath edr _^ -th _at tie most CUiiousscene _awaiiidus . Here were _assemhledm tar * long lines tiie queues of tbe processions _wlnckfrova daylight 10 _-Alri ght streamed witliout intermission mto the bniia- mg . They were all admitted through _^ e right-. hand door , before which was a wooden earner , wmen - " as «> ccasionally loweredhv the gcns _^ _Tama , who _regulated the movements ofthe processions , in-order to
_-preheat _Twinanj from entering at once . .

dral with a patience that appeared inexhaustible . It , was already the sixth wee ' s oi the processions ; and we ane assured that no less than thirteen miraculous cures had been effected . But the convalesceuts were singularly modest—they invariably disappeared from Treves as soon as , the healing process was completed—doubtless , in order to spread the fame of the Hol y Tunic abroad and make room for others . The appearance of the interior of the . building was , to say the least of it , extremely imposing . On either side of the central aisle were the richly sculptured tombs of the former electors of '¦ Treves above them waved the inauy-eolouied'banners of the . city guides- and in the , midst , moving with slow pace , came the tiironging Multitude between the bavricrs erected for the purpose . At the foot of the _lait flight of
steps , the two living streaniK united , aiid depositing there the first oblations , ascended in single file to pass before the shrine . The relic was contained in a large , upright cruciform glass-case , and iras hung up with the' sleeves extended , before a ground of white silk , being supported by . a thin pole which ran across . Rich cords and tassels of crimson and gold depended from a- canopy of gorgeous drapery , which surmounted the case ; aud in fi _* ont of it was a square platform , piled high with the offerings of the pious , - _-tlie produce of each day ' s ceremony . Seated with their faces'towards the relic , hut leaving " a space "before it for the procession to pass , appeared the Bishop of . Treves , the coadjutor of the Archbishop of Cologne , and several other prelates , arrayed in their pontifical robes * , aiid on each side of the altar stood a priest , receiving the various objects which the people brought for consecration by eontact -with the Holy Tunic . These were hastily thrust into the apertures at the bottom of the ease , and then
returned to _thje owners nioycnnant , of course , an additional piece of moiicy . Almost every one brought something to he blessed— ring ? , -medals , crucifixes , rosaries , books , prints , and images ofthe Virgin , and the officiating priests had tlieir hands quite full . " A few : words-Will be necessary to describe tlic colour aud texture of the relic . It is of a dark reddish brown hue , resembling , as an' old writer says , who saw it a long time ago , " unprepared cinnabar . " At a little distance it has a wrinkled' appearance , like cracked leather ; hut , eiamined closely , one- sees tbat it is evidently a garment Woven from some fine substance , perhaps , a peculiar kind " of flax . It is ' very thick , and hangs iu many stiff folds , and has an air of great antiquity ; how old can only be revealed by the monk who first suggested its existence;— -in all probability , in the niuth century , when , after the moral darKness which succeeded Hie death of _Chai-Jenjagne _, the great traffic in relics first had birth .
Next week we shall give the celebrated letter of Joilv Roxge , Oatholic priest , exposing and denouncing this " pious fraud ; " together _wita some particulars of the New Reformation of which this , modern _liuiHEn is the originator . __ -

The farms selected as models , are—First . That of the Willingdon school , live acres in extent , conducted by ( 3 . Cruttenden . Second . The Eastde-m school , also five acres , near Bcacliy Head , conducted by John Harris .
Third . That of Jesse Piper , consisting of four acres , at Cruttenden . Fourth . Tliat , of John DumbreU , a farm of six acres , at Jevington , near Beachy Head . Fifth . An industrial school farm at Slaithwaite , near Huddersfield . Sixth and Seventh . Two small model farms at the same place , occupied on the estate , of the Earl of "Dartmouth , by Charles Yarley and John Bam ford .

The weather has been of so stormy a character , attended with frost and snow , that general farm labonrhas been out of question . I got the tare seed ready a fortnight ago , but as yet there has not been an opportunity to sow any of it . " Cow-Feedixg . —WiUingdon School . Cows fed with clover , hay , and turnips . DumhreU ' s . One cow fed in the stall with -mangel wurzel , earrots , and straw . One cow and heifer fed with tiirnips , carrots , and straw .
NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS . Oats . —[ Seed sown in Sussex seven bushels ,, in Yorkshire six bushels , to the acre . ] Sow oats early ; for early sowing gives weight to the grain , while late sowing gives weight of straw- Choose your seed from a poorer soil , adopting the variety to your soil adopting the variety to your soil and climate , but let the seed be good and heavy , and _froin'the fens if possible . The Eastbourne field-gardeners sow Jrom the _lieginning to the end of March , in drills , at six inches distance , using about three bushels of mould manure to the rod . In the north , oats arc always _SOWll broadcast , _cumononly on fresh broken tip _pastuTC land , witliout manure . On-fresh broken up peaty moorland , a dressing of quick lime adds greatly to the produce . ¦ - ¦¦¦ ¦ •'
Stekp foe Seed Oats . —Take 24 lbs . of common salt ; dissolve it in twelve pails full of-water ; steep six bushels of seed in thc solution tor twelve hours ; remove thc seed , let it drain-for one hour ; it will easily divide , and sow , broadcast , on one acre . This method has long been pratised by an-individual , and lias yielded , according to his estimate , ' - an addition to his crop of one pack of meal per acre , and he states that the corn ripens ten days earlier than usual . Spiusg Wheat . —[ Seed sown , three bushels , value 21 s . —Dihbled , one bushel , value 7 s . per acre . —Expense of dibbling , 14 s . —Sowing in seed , 14 s . —besides horse and man's labour . Actual experi * nent . j Dibble , drill , or sow spring wheat : but after reading . 'the motto , I think , certaiulv , you will dibble . In general / a moderate liming on cither winter or spring wheat answers wellwhere it is not the custom to manure the- crop .
, In dibbling , steep yonr seed in urine ; use a little quick lime , ' and plenty of rape dust to make it part . Let yonr rows be six inches apart ; strike four holes at a time , six inches distance , three inches deep . Place as near as you can guess three seeds is each hole . Cover up immediately , and tread the seed in as you go on . If your wheat crop follow potatoes or turnipCa good liming in most , cases would be well , * aud in all cases a dressing of home made or domestic mano would be beneficial to your , com ; or-about 1 * ewt . to the acre of natural guano , well pounded , aiid intimately mixed , passing it through a -sieve repeated ! v , with moist ash charcoal , burnt clay compost , or coal a 3 hes ; or drill with the seed about six or eight bushels of rape dust per acre . The spnngsown wheat is manured at _Eastlwume with nve bushels of mould manure tothe rod .
Beaxs —[ Seed dibbled , two and a half to three bushels per acrej—Do hot delay how to dibble in _yrarbeans . Beans ought , to be sown in February , As this crop follows com that lias been well manured , no manure will be required .

dressing , except in rainy weather , and when the plant is in a state of active " growth . There were many advantages attending the use . of guano , not the least of which ., were , its portability , _jand its ¦ powers of retaining its properties for many years , if kept dry and excluded from the * ., ah * . It was > much xskeaper now than on its introduction into tins countiy , and next year the supply would . be sueh as to reduce ' its price to half of that charged lastyear . : He knew that no less than COO ships liad left Liverpool alone in the present year to get guano , - and . they would' bring back . at least 60 , 000 tons . Three years ago , the price was £ 15 per ton , last year it was - £ 10 , and this year it has been £ 1 or £ 8 , The Professor repeated his strongest recommendation of guano . If he : possessed 500 or
1000 acres in the neighbourhood , he would himself send for . a ship load , and land it at Axmouth harbour . - He would store it in : his coach-house , or cellars , if they were dry—for it would . keep extremely well . in a di _* y place—and Sell it even in half-crown worths to-the farmers for experiments , and hewas ( quite sure that the result of these _experimentswould induce them all to come the Mowing year and expend many pounds on this precious manure . Some . of the guano sold in this country was adulterated by art : and some by nature , but a little precaution on the . part ofthe buyer would prevent his being imposed upon . «< . He had only to put a teaspoonful into a tumblerfull of
warm water and to wash and rinse it , whirling . it round briskly , when the sand ( if . any were mixed with it ) might be detected at the bottom . He would particularly caution thein against applying guano in dry weather , because during afew weeks exposure on the _sui-faee most of its fertilizing properties would be _evar _porate'd . Farmers often lose their labour from , dis _? regarding the time and circumstances proper for applying guano , and instead of blaming themselves , found fault with the manure . ¦ If the Weather were dry , the wiser course would be ,. instead of wasting the guano , to keep it for another . ye . tr . — -Dr . Buckland ' s speech at ihe Meeting of the East Devon aud-Dorset Agricultural Society .
t . CcwivATios . —the great-object of-all" cultivation is to introduce into plants those substances which are adapted to thc food of . man . Iii tlieir natural state they receive , from the -air aid ' the' soil , ' merely food enough for their own support , the elements wi quired to form the blood of man are contained in them in very small quantities . - ' it must always be borne in mind by the farmer , that cultivated crops are in a state as much unlike that intended by nature as the stall-fed ox , which has been made to attain an enormous development of fat by excessive supplies of the most-nutritious food , or unlike the cow which is obliged to seek its " nourishment Over an extensive range of scantv mountain pasture ' . Transplanted by
man Ironi 'their native soil , and' collected , for his convenience , around Ins "dwelling ; there has been produced by art a forced and unnatural development of all their parts , but especially of their seeds , and to maintain this forced development the utmost care of the fanner is required ; for should he trust his fields to _! nature , his . crops would again return to their natural'state , or perhaps entirely disappear . It is well known thatthe produce of an acre of the wild potato in- Chili , its native ' -country , would scarcely suffice for the daily ' consumption of ah Irish family " ; yet the wild plant and the cultivated are equally exposed to the influence of the atmosphere ; the difference in then * value as food must therefore depend entirely upon the amount of nourishment supplied by the soil .

Fraukhn will have the command ; and we are informed that the -Erebus and Terror will be provided with the most approved Archimedian screw propellers . Fossil . Remaiss _, —Crommi . — -TlW late high tides have partly uncovered the lignite _beda . along the base of the cliffs , and among the fossil remains of that stratum have been found a fine specimen of the lower jaw of a rhinoceros , with the seven molar teeth , iri' good preservation together with molars of the elephant , hippopotamus , and beaver . One of those rare implements the celt , supposed to have ' been in use among the aboriginal Britons , has also been found Oil the "beach ! They are all in the collection of Mr .
Simons , at the Bath-house . —Cambridge Advertiser . "Waterproof Ajimunitiox . —The Washington correspondent ofthe New York Journal ofCommerce _hilS the following , under date the 31 st ' ultimo ' : —" ' In the house Mr . Tibhatts , by unamimbns consent , submitted a joint resolution that the law of ' 1808 , appropriating annually 200 , 000 dollars fin * aiming and equipping the militia of the . United States and territories , be so modified that one-fourth of the amount shall be applied to the purchase of Colt ' s waterproof ammunition . The resolution was read twice , and ' referred to thc committee of the whole on the state of the Union . A highly favourable report from army , navy .
and militia olficers accompanied the bill , setting forth that Colt ' s cartridges can be preserved any length of time without deterioration of the powder ; that no fire is left in the gun , after a discharge , to cause premature explosion ' on reloading ; that the time required for " sponging , pricking , and tending vent ( being one-third ofthe whole time required in loading a gun ) is saved ; that the cartridges arc spark and waterproof ; and that troops using them can march in storms of rain , can ford rivers without risk to their ammunition , and bring on an action under circumstances where cartridges of common construction would be destroyed .
. Electric' Ciocks . —The following extract of a letter from Mr . Finlaisori , of Lougliton ' HaU , appears in the Polytechnic Review . _*— "Sir . Bain has succeeded to admiration in working electric clocks by the currents of the earth . On the 28 th of August he set np a . small clock in my drawing-room , the pendulum of-whicli is in the hall and both instruments in a voltaic circuit as foil ; ws : —On the N . E . side of my house two zinc plates , a foot square , are sunk in a hole , and suspended to a wire : this is passed through the house , to the pendulum first , aud then
the clock . On the . S . E . side of the house , at a distance of about 40 yards , a hole was dug four feet deep , and two sacks of common coke burned in it ; among the coke another wire was secured , and passed in at the _drawlng-rooBt window , and joined to the former wire at the clock Thc ball ofthe pendulum weighs nine pounds , but it was moved energetically , and has ever since continued to do so with the self-same energy . The time is to perfection , and the cost . of the motive -power was only 7 s . Cd .

" Progress " of Steam Power . —A new machine for thc purpose of superseding manual . labour in lithographic printing b y steam power , 'has lately been patented , and brought into considerable operation in England . Hitherto the printer , after inking ; the drawing , was himself obliged to drag the stone through the press ; and this expenditure of valuable 4 inie greatly increased the ' costliness of the process .- -The new invention relieves the pressman from this labour , and by accelerating the process will render lithographic prints much cheaper than they have hitherto been . The impressions , too , are sure te be -uniform , and as the higher pressure afforded by _thesteampvesaptrmvls the use of undamped paper _and ' a _hettey quality of ink , thus preventing the distortions resulting from the unequal stretchings of the damp -paper , they will- be much superior to those produced by the mere manual process . ... v ..:. • ¦

A comihuhieation was made by Sir James Grahani tothe police commissioners ; o'h * 'Saturday , and Captain Hay-, the _assistairt commissioner , on that day inspected the SpafieMs burial "round , aeeompanied by Mr . Watt , the _cli-ifrnian , Mi ; . Clarke , the secretary , and several other respectable householders . - The stench arising from . decomposed human bodies was declared by Captain Hay to be insufferable , and the committee were , directed to forward such infoiTOatior i as ' they
could collect ( reduced into writing ) for thc guidance of Sir James Graham .. A meeting of the committee took place on Sunday , and _examinations . wcre taken and-forwarded to the Home Office . A meeting of the parish officere has likewise been held at the workhouse in Coppice-row , and Mr . " Wakeling _, the ' vestry clerk , has , it is stated , opened a correspondence with the- Secretary of State on the subject . The : manner in whicli this extraordinary and revolting :- work of demolition was-first discovered , is this : —Reuben Rooni , - a grave-digger at the burial-ground , had a child interred sometime since , and upon his discharge he insisted on removing the body ,- , asserting that he well knew after he loft that the coffin would be burnt , the body and limbs severed , and deposited elsewhere ' . Police constables Henry Webb , G 106 , . and-Martin , 144 ; were called-in to prevent lloom opening the grave , which he took the two
upon officers to an . outhouse , where they saw the lids of several coffins consuming overafierce fire ,-and pieces of " hunian ; flesh" ( to use the -officers ' - own words ) wore ' attached to the coffins ' the size Of their hands . The written examinations sent to Sir James Graham are . seven in number ; -The statements are revolting in the extreme , andalmosfexeeedbelief ; yet it is right thatthe public , " as well as the Home Secretary ; should . be aware of wh' atgoes dnat _sueh _^ laces . _-We-subjoin two . of these ' » even '; _tepesitions * : _^ -fieuben _^ Room examined : Was m the ; employ of Mr .

" The coffins were taken away and burnt , with pieces of decomposed flesh adhering thereto . I have taken up half a ton of wood out of one grave , because I had to take Out two tiers of coffins , some of which were
quite fresh , aiid we used to cut them up for struts , used for shoring up the graves .

The corpse was quite fresh . — AVilliam Penny , inspector of the G- division : In December , 1 S 43 , a petition- was presented to the magistrates at Clerkenwell Police Court , signed by about' \~ , 0 inhabitants . The magistrate gave me the petition and desired mc to see to it . 'I did so , and went immediately to a one-story erection in the burial ground called a " bone-house" where I found a large fire un the floor and in tlvegvate . The fire * consisted of coffin-boards of full-grown people and children broken up ;' some were quite sound with pieces of black ' -cloth- and handles and plates , and pieces of shrouds were flying about . Tho smell . was . indescribable ; ' I have visited the ground many times since , and have found it in the same state . Have repeated experience in my nightly rounds " of the horrible stench from the bur ial ground . —Great excitement continues to prevail throughout thc parish , audit is understood tliat an inquiry will be forthwith instituted .

As the whole of the above importations were brought forward and disposed of on Friday last , not a single head was ' exhibited-to-day . This falling off . in the receipts of foreign _beasta and sheep must be chiefly attributed to the stringent regulations in Holland to prevent the spreading of the epidemic , W'llioh IS raging with fearful violence amongst live stock in that country .

The bullock droves from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex and Cambridgeshire comprised 2200 Scots and homebreds ; while from the northern counties wo received only 200 shorthorns : from the western and midland districts , 200 of various breeds ; from other parts of England , 300 of various breeds ; and from Scotland ¦
100 homed and polled Scots . Ihe -number ot sheep was somewhat less than last week , yet it was siifncicntly . large .
