Hobucultuhe.-—The Mildness Of The Weathe...
Hobucultuhe .- —The mildness of the weather is the more surpriang after the severe frost of Detenter . The winter is wearing rapidly away , and although we may reasonably expect some sharp frosts during the latter part of this month and the month of _February , there is not much reason to fear a frost of j 0 Dg duration . To _tiie gardener there is but one _drawback in this kind of weather , vvhich is the excessive dampness which accompanies it , and-which causes him every time he enters his greenhouse to _aeh for the lengthened days and the drying winds of _jjarch and April . There is , however , but one remedv , an 3 that is to persevere in warming the flues occasionally , taking care at the same time to open some 0 f the sashes , and also to ventilate freelv whenever
lie weather bnghtensup alittle . All kinds of groundwork may be carried on with advantage while the _weather continues open . Continue steadily the pruning ofthe small fruits , and also tiie espalier and _wafi trees , the mild weather affordins- a favourable opportunity for all such work . The Greetdtouse . —Thc TOttn _£ seedling calceolarias may be re-potted ; those _Vhich were potted in October into small sixty pots _jpay now be transferred to large sixty pots ) and those plants wliich have been kept iu store pots , fire or six in a pot , may be potted singly into small sixty note , care being taken , in separating the plants , to injure the roots as little as possible . " These plants , when potted , may be set on a shelf near thc glass j a a cool greenhouse , or , better still , in a
warm conservatory ; where , however , they will receive plenty of air in fine weather . The old plants ¦ _si'l also be the better for a shift about this time , especially if they can he set in a very gentle heat for a ireek or two . Those plants which were properly treated in autumn , that is , turned out of their pots , aw mould shaken from them , and returned to pots of a much smaller size , will now require nothing furiher than to have the crock removed , and to be shifted into a largcr-siied pot . Thc exact size of the pot must depend of course on the strength of thc plant ; but those plants which have remained during thc winter in the pots in which they bloomed last year , should have the mould shaken from the roots , and be
potted at present intorathcr small-sized pots . Ill all cases let the grcatestattcntion be paid to the thorough drainage ofthe pots , especially when pots of a large size are used . For these plants a good compost may be formed of one-third leaf mould , one-third fresh -tarry maiden loam , and one-third well-rotted cowdun !' , with a small quantity 0 f _^ J t _^ _j _fl , e whole be thoroughly well chopped and mixed together , and used without being sifted , and if our directions are attained to , this lovely flower will be grown to a good degree of excellence . Tiie Eitchen-garden . —The treat mildness of the weather is a temptation to sow a snail bed of early frame , or short-top radish ; the bed should bewarm , sheltered , and sloped to the sun a few lettuce seeds may be sown with the radish .
Flobisis' F «) webs . —At this time of the year Auriculas require aU the air possible , and , in fact , ihe directions given during the past weeks must be scrupulously followed . _Carnations . —With regard to these plants , attend to directions given during the few previous weeks , and keep them free from decaying leaves and weeds , which are now beginning to jtart . Rauuneuleses . —The amateur , if ho has not got sufficient for his bed , should now lose no time in felting-in what he wants . Fine and new dark owers are much wanted ; the attention of those who raise seedlings having of late years been directed more especially to spots and edged flowers . Hahdy Fkuii asp KrrcHEX Gardes . —Planting ,
pruning , and nailing should be proceeded with . If vines on walls have not been already pruned the operation should not he further delayed . Trees intended to be grafted In tiie ensuing spring ought to be now cut back almost to the place where the scion is intended to be placed . In pruning , if a prolongation in the direction of any branch is required , cut immediately above tiie most eligible bud for producing a leader . Generally , in trees sufficiently vigorous , three buds next the section break into shoots , in consequence of other channels being cut off . Give a slight earthing up to peas and beans . A sowing of early horn-carrots maybe made on a warm border , protection being afforded in case of frost .
The _^' BBSEnr . —Shdter _voungevergreens ; there is more danger to be apprehended from frosts in spring ihan in the depth of winter . Transplant two seedlings ; shorten their tap-roots before transplanting , but preserve carefiiDy thc fibrous ones . Prepare ground for sowing forest-tree seeds . Proceed with planting new groups , and improving old ones in parks , as recommended last week : young , vigorous trees in parks show that the spirit of improvement is _jmieeeding , and give the scene a healthy aspect . Lush Feeze . —In the Irish Furze fhe thorns are very much less rigid and more slender than in the well-known English species ; indeed so soft that the hand may be passed np a shoot of it without suffering any injnry , which certainly could not be done
with either thc Ules europams or U . nanus . The Irish Furze ( Ulex strktus ) has been sometimes cultivated as fodder , and possesses the same highly nutritive properties which are found in the U . _curipseus , - without requiring much , if any crashing . It is A native of Ireland , where lb was first noticed in the Marquis of _Londonderry ' s park , in thc county of Down , in about the year 1 S 15 , and it is said also to occur in a few other places to the north of that county . Its habits of growth are very different from those of our other species , not having their spreading habit , but the brandies all growing in an upright manner , and close to eaeh other , so as often to form a table-like surface at the top . Loudon informs us I" Eucve . of Trees and Shrubs , " 2021 that sheep and
cattle are very fond of it , and eat its branches without mjurimj their mouths . It profas a mild and nioki climate , and would probably succeed in most parts of the kingdom . I have never seen it cultivated for fodder , but have known very excellent hedges formed of it , particularly in Jersey , where it has its shoots cut off for the use of the cows , without injurVaj :, hutratherimprovhgthefence . It is scarcely ncccsEray to add , that it can only be used as a fence when ? sheep and cattle have not access to it . As the plant . seldom flowers , it is difficult to obtain seed , and it must be increased by cuttings , which strike easily . Some botanists have doubted the claims of the U . Etrietusto be considered as a distinct species , but they hare not agreed amongst themselves to wliich of our speck-sit ou _^ _ht- to be referred ; and I concur most r ally with Dr . Lindley in believing it to be really distinct from both of them . This is not the place for a discussion of technical _Iwtauical characteristics ,
and I must therefore refer those who may take any interest in that part of ihe subject , to Dr . Lindlev's " Synopsis of tiie British Flora , " 2 d ed ., p . 322 , to mv paper in the " Annals of Jfat . Hist ., " vol . v ., p . 300 ; or to my "Manual of Brit . Bot ., " p . 69 , where they will be found . _Numerous seedlings were raised from this plant by Mr . Cameron , the excellent curator ofthe Birmingham Botanical Garden , all of which are exactly like their parent . It is not for me to enter npon the consideration of the agricultural value of furze , since I am not a practical _agriculturalist but _onlya _hotanist ; hnt as many writers seem to consider even common Furze must be well deserving of cultivation as fodder , notwithstanding tie necessity of crushing it before it can be used , it does seem to me that the Irish furze must be well deserving of a trial , from its much more succulent Character , and tiie weakness of its thorns , which are so slight as to have led to the idea , that it is without any . —Charles C . Babington .
VnAuiT of Seeds . —This season I have had my attention turned to some plants growing upon soils that have been recently hroughtto the surface ofthe earth , but had formerly lain Ion _^ in a dormant state . It is common in this part of tiie country , when old clay pastures are broken up , to have a crop of charlock ; and the finer tiie surface of the soil is broken , the more abundant are the plants . In a pasture field , Which lately was furrowed and drained , a plentiful crop ofthe common dock appeared upon the top of tiie drains , . after they were filled in . This season a piece of ground was broken up , that had been for ages in a wild state , producing little else than furze ; the soil was composed principally of decomposed basalt—since tiie furze was cleared , and the soil
cisturbed , a most luxuriant crop of mountain groundsel has appeared . In another place the same year , where a deep ditch was cut through peat , plants of htfens tripartita lave appeared , and I could not discover any plant of it growing upon what might he called the old surface . The Rev . Mr . "White makes the following observations : — " The naked part ofthe Hanger , at _Selbourne _, " says ie , "is now covered _™ _> thistles of various lands . The seeds of these thistles may have lain probably under the thick Shade of the beech trees for many years , but could art vegetate till tiie sun and air were admitted _, "hen the old beech trees were cleared away , the naked ground in a year or two became covered with ? _tewberry plantsthe seed of which must have lain
, _fcthe ground an age at least . One of the slidders , w trenches , down the middle of the Hanger , close f amed over with lofty beeches , near a century old , _^ _sUH called Strawberry slidder , though no straw-J * j rrtt s have grown there in the memory of man . " _^ t sort of fruit did once , no doubt , abound there , _*™ lwuT again , when the obstruction is removed . " -E _* -paps something new might _oe' added to the flora of _5 _ntam . if attention was paid to the various plants _?«^ Pring np when earth is disturbed and brought _« the -surface ; and perhaps a better opportunity 5 f 7 r occurred than at present for observing these
j * - ™© , when so much cutting for railways and _drain" S of land is geing on . — Peter Mackenzie Stirling . _-Jjj- _on-L _Yfisjj , _Misr _^ iE . —The instructed look j ?™ amazem ent _, when , on the borders ofthe Roman _^ _I-agna , thev see whole hills of dung , _thelong-Jo _Z _" * _^ refuse from the stables of the post _5 _^* » <* when , _onfte rjrealring up of the winter's _^ _*™ _-v see the yearly collections from the _farmuteraji _^ d away on tiie ice of the Wohja ; almost _TFe "Z _f Iea hang the times of the Augean stables . o _oidabv * _dream fllat _aaything half- so harharous a _^ isit _^ l _^^ ty happenamong ourselves ; and yet as the _» . _™ _l-farm m _Nortiramberland may show TO the _^^ ter accumulations emptied purposely watte of abrook , that the -waters may carry

them ofi ; est m \ o some neighbouring hollow , where W _^ leartin the way , and have been permitted to collect forentiregenerations . Such palpable waste 13 seldom seen , indeed , in the lower country , where _intercourses greater , and where knowledge and public opinion spread more-widely , and exercise a more immediate influence ; and yet the no less serious waste ot the kquid from our farm-yards is still too widelv prevalent , even in our better cultivated districts , and among- our more improving and intelligent farmers > V Jtnin tlio last few weeks wj have walked over thc farms
of the first practical farmer of the Tvneside , and ofthe most celebrated breeder in Yorkshire , and yet , from the fold-yard ofthe one , the liquid was eonducted by a drain into the nearest ditch , and from the cow-houses of the other , into a shallow open pond , where it stood reeking and fermenting beneath a blazing sun ! What merit , as a farmer , can that man claim , who , though he annually lays five tons of guano , or bones , or rape-dust , upon his farm , vet allows what is _CQual to tenor twenty tons of the same to run to waste from his farm-yard in the form of liquid manure . —Edinburgh Rcviewl
Son . ash SmjsoiL . —When we wish io estimate the value of a soil , an important clement to consider is , its thickness . In trenching a field , at first sight the thickness of the vegetable soil mav be determined from the humus it contains , as it is darker coloured than the soil wliich underlies it . Its thickness is variable , from one inch upwards . In America _, where m some districts the soil has never been worked , it is many feet deep . The deeper it is the better for culture , for it suffers less from heats and cold . Thc subsoil is the bed underneath that just described . In mountainous countries it is frequently of the same constitution as the rock on wliich it reposes . It is occasionally only a few inches thick more generally some feet deep , and on level ground , still more . On the north side of Dublin the subsoil is
in some places five or six yards deep . On hilly grounds the soil and subsoil aie ofthe same chemical composition as that ofthe rock below ; but in extensive levels the subsoil may be widely different from thc surface ; in this case the subsoil has the constitution of the rock below , while the surface may have been formed by a deposit from a body of water which conveyed its earthy matters from a distance ; in this case of alluvial deposit forming the soil , it may possess very different and even opposite properties from thc subsoil . Such is the case in many of the limestone districts of Ireland ; the rock below being ofthe mountain limestone type , while the surface will only contain between 1 and 3 per cent , of carbonate of lime . Where theupper and subsoil differ thus in composition , the latter may be used as a manure to the formerto
, supply any deficiencies . Generally speaking , argillaceous soils are more adapted for dry climates , and sandy soils for wet ones . There is no doubt that a sandy soil is fruitful in proportion to the amount of rain and its frequency . Kiewan has stated that where the fall of rain is twenty-six inches yearly , the constitution of a fertile soil would be silica fiftysix _^ alumina fourteen , and thirty of calcareous matterm 100 p arts ; and if the fall of rain be more the quantity of silica should be greater . ; if the rain be less the proportion of clay should be higher . This occurs in Ireland , where the average fall of rain is above thirty inches , according to & . Kane ' s computation , tiiirty-six ; and the proportion of silica found in most soils is increased in a corresponding
_ratux L ould a constant supply of water be obtained , by rain or irrigation , the question ofthe constitution of a soil loses its importance . The edges of rivers and streams are always fertile , no matter what the composition may be . The less elevated or the less inclined a sandy soil is , the more fertile will it be . The contrary holds good with argillaceous soils . It is easy , theoretically , to . point out thc deficiency of a soil and recommend the remedy ; but in practice it may not be so , to apply it conveniently or at any reasonable expense . In such cases those plants must be chosen which are most adapted , for such circumstances ; hence the farmer should know both the qualities and defects of his land , by a careful examination , for otherwise he can form no estimate of the land , or the capital necessary to keep it in cultivation .

Masufacture Of Irish Peat Kto Fuel.—The ...
Masufacture of Irish Peat kto Fuel . —The only point , says the London Atlas , on which all opinions on Ireland are heartily agreed is , that its first and greatest want , the sine qua non , the thing needful for the employment of its population—the improvement of its resources , and the increase of its wealth and its happiness , iu capital—theintroduction or the creation of capital ; that there is in that country thc richestfiehlfor the profitable employment of capital , could it be procured or set in motion , not only does no one attempt to deny , but every witness yet called to give evidence in a legislative inquiry on the subject , is loud and unanimous in asserting . MUions of fertile acres , yet uncleared , ' bnt-which require only to be opened up by roads or canals , to
repay five-fold the expense of their cultivation ; vast and mcasurelegs bogs , which experiment has already proved to repay their complete draining and cultivation by their first crops during their first three years aloiie , leaving the land at the value of 30 s . per acre , which was before altogether valueless . Rivers , which only want a shallow to be here and there deepened , or a pier built , to become , as it were , the magical means of drawing forth the almost unlimited resources of districts now poor and barbarous , solely because cut off from all means of connection with markets with civilization . Vast alluvial tracts , periodically submerged , which might , at a veiy inconsiderable expense , be converted into lauds of the veiy highest productive power in the country ;
these , and many other latent resources , are proved to exist throughout Ireland on the most unquestionable authority . We have it in evidence that m one district £ 170 , 000 expended during seven years , produced in a few years a permanent annual revenue to the government equal to the whole amount of that expenditure . In another , £ 60 , 000 expended in public works during seven years , where the increase ofthe government revenue in customs and excise duties , in tiie district , soon amounted to £ 50 , 000 per annum ; and this , in each case , attributable mainly to the increased facility of communication by which whole districts have been render ed available for productive purposes , and a miserable pauper population converted into a productive class of
consumers . The unquestionable character of the statements which disclose these startling facts went to prove that in any given term of seven years , on such lands , the annual increase of the revenue would be equal tothe whole sum expended , if judiciously and carefully devoted to opening new sources of internal industry , among wliich the increasing facilities for the profitable interchange of produce stand the foremost . In this produce are pointedly classed more particularly coal , turf , and manure of any description . The whole amount of this produce , which must be presumed to bear the proportion of at least fifteen to one , in annual value to the revenue collected upon it , may fairly be considered in the light of a new creation , called Into existence on these
spots , in the short space of a . very few hours , by the judicious outlay ot a comparatively insignificant capital . This were indeed putting out the talent where it quickly became ten . Thc inventor ofthe valuable coal which forms the subject of our present consideration , conceiving that peat contained in itself the elements of a substantial and actual coal fuel , requiring but a suitable process to separate it from its superfluous matter , devised the following organisation ofthe means to effect his purpose —He takes peat as it commonly presents itself to us , and mixing it in the state in which it is dug with a sufficient quantity of water to reduce it to the consistency of a moderately thick mud , the liquified mass is retained in the requisite consistency , and kept in continual agitation by revolving beaters set in motion by simple mechanical arrangements , and working within the vessel in which the mixture of peat and water is made . A portion of the sides of the containing
vessel are formed of an open material , as wire gauze , which permits the lighter portions of the fluid mass to pass off , leaving behind it the grosser and undissolved portions , fie finds that this lighter portion ofthe mass holds in solution that part ot the composition ofthe peat which forms the essence , and having collected this in large quantities , by conducting the process of mixing ofthe crude peat with water on an extensive scale , and with a continuous supply of the constituent materials , he exposes it in a collected state in shallowpools , to evaporation in the open air . The solid matter thus obtained turns out to be an actual coal of great density and powerful heating properly ; its quality in its relation to other coal is that of a more dense and inflammable or combustible anthracite . Such is the simple operation by which this beautiful production is wrought , and which , taking quality and cost of production together , bids fair to rival bituminous coal , and to confer a widespread and beneficial influence . —Railway Gazette .
Chemistry ej Common Schools . —Why not introduce thestudy of chemistry in all our common schools , at least the rudiments of chemistry , and especially the meaning of chemical terms ? "Why should not a boy , a farmer ' s boy , be taught the meaning of oxygen and hydrogen , as well as that of the word water ? _"ffhen he is now told by the papers or books he reads , that water ( themeaningof _whichteriuhe understands very well ) is composed of certain proportions eaeh of oxygen and hvdrogen ( terms he knows nothing about ) , he is at a loss . His education has left hun with the idea that water is a simple element , as the ancients _though it was ; and he also complains of the
use of these hard words , when the fact is , they are no harder than any other words to learn or to steak ; but they are new to him , and thence he thinks them hard . All farmers should understand the rudiments of chemistry at least , and as much moreasthcy can command ; no one can be a good farmerwithout this knowledge , except by __ accident . It is in vain for writers on the subject to try to use language that can he understood hy those who have not learned the meaning of chemical terms , the -word oxygen , for example , has no common term that would be understood more readily , by such people ; neither has hydrogen , nitrogen , carbon , <& e . _& ee _whatalistTfebstermakesin defining these terms
Masufacture Of Irish Peat Kto Fuel.—The ...
Oxygen— m chemistry , oxygen or oxygen gas , > is an element'or substance so -named * : from lteproperty . _' -of generating acids ; it is the respirable part of air , or -the basis of it ; it is called tho acidifying principle and the principle or support of combustion . " _i 'Hydrogen—m chemistry , a gas which constitutes one ot the elements of water . " " Nitrogen—the clement of nitre ; that which produces nitre ; that clement or component part of the air which is called azote . " " Carbon—pure charcoal ; a simple body , black , brittle , light , and inodorous . " Now , what information will one who does not understand the rudiments of chemistry , derive from these definitions ? None whatever . But if chemistry were made a part of common education , all these terms would convey a
meaning to the reader of them as readily as those do of water , atmospheric air , and charcoal . It is not supposed that the science at large could be taught in common schools ; for if it could , there would be no necessity for high schools . All that is intended by these remarks is to recommend that the meaning of all chemical terms should be there taught . For example , tlio school teacher should teach the scholars the meaning ofthe word water thus : — "Water , a compound fluid , the elements of which aroby weight , eight parts oxygen , and one part hydrogen ; by measure , one part oxygen and two parts hvdrogen . Oxygen and hydrogen are gases ; they are both colourless , having neither taste nor smell . Oxygen gas is heavier than atmospheric air , and it forms a portion ofthe air itself . It is essential to animal life aud combustion . Hydrogen gas is the lightest of all gases , and hence is used in filling balloons ; being about sixteen times lighter than oxygen . " Now , if
such instruction was given in schools , there would be no complaint ofthe use by writers of hard names _, hard words , die . ; and farmers would know just as well what was meant by the words calcareous earth _, gypseous earth , die ., as they now do of thc meaning of marl , plaster of Paris , « fec . I can see no more reason in restricting tho education of boys to the commonplace words of our language , in our common schools , than I do in confining them in their farming operations to the old common-place routine of practice . Their education should lie such as to fit tlicm for the profession they are to follow , let that be what it may . Chemistry aud botany areas essential elements of an agricultural education , as any others whatever . But how few are there amongst us who know even the meaning of the most common terms of either science ? —S . in The Cultivator , Albany , U . S . America .
_Freuch Academy of Sciences . —Sittihg ot _Jajt . 13 . —A communication was made ofthe discovery of a comet at Berlin , on the 28 th ult ., by M . Darest . It was seen also at Hamburgh on the 3 rd inst ., but not in Paris until the night of the 10 th . According to the observations of Messrs . Taye , Mauvais , Laugier , Goiijon , and Bouvard , of the Observatory of Paris , this comet has a striking analogy with that of 1 * 793 , discovered by Pemy . It differs , however , so much in some respects that itis not possible , without further observations , to declare positively that it is the same . A letter was read from M . Maclean , ofthe Cape of Good Hope , announcing that he had seen there , in October last , thc comet discovered by M . Mauvais , and which was no longer visible in our atmosphere . The following curious letter was received iromawoodcutter , named Terebolf , o £ Brionne , in the Eure : — ' * Since it appeal's to be the lashion to make the academy acquainted with everything at all
extraordinary that is witnessed for the first time , a poor woodcutter may be permitted to communicate an observation , which has certainly been made also by several of my comrades , but which I have some reason to believe will be entirely new for messieurs Ies academiciens . I have remarked that whenever a flock of sheep passed near the place where we were occupied in stripping the oaks of their bark for tan , it was absolutely impossible for two or three hours , and by the means which we usually employ , to strip off the bark of a diameter of more than three-or four centimetres . My comrades attribute this strange fact , which I remarked for the first time more than five years ago , to the volatile sweating ofthe sheep , which has theproperty of coagidatinginstantaneously the sap near the bark , and to prevent its free circulation for two or three hours . " After the reading of the letter , M . Flourens said that the details contained in it were not sufficient to enable- the academy to pronounce any opinion on the fact .
Consumption . —This is generally connected with the sanguine temperament , and it is thc cause , producing this temperament , which we have to consider , especially Li relation to phthisis . Consumption is only one particular indication and result of a general condition ofthe system , which exists in connexion with the sanguine temperament , aud such general condition may be expressed by the termscrofulous diathesis . This diathesis , we apprehend , results from the non-sufficient fixation of carbon in the tissues of the body ; the organization is unequally balanced between its fluid constituents and its solid parts ; and this may result , either from a too active excretion of carbon , or from diminished nutrition . We constantly see the same thing occurring in the vegetable kingdom : for example , deprive a young plant of the opportunity of fixing carbon ; b y withdrawing i _) from that power ( light ) on which its fixation of that element depends , it will not only
cease to nx carbon , but it will contmue to excrete it , and the result is , a weak and watery stem , which will yield to , and fade under , the . slightest prejudicial cause ; but take the same plant , nourish it with nutritive material , expose it to the light , give it the opportunity of fixing abundance of carbon in its tissues , and the same causes which , _ivndcr the first circumstances , would have rapidly induced its destruction , will , under these more favourable conditions , produce no effect upon it . As with the plant , so it is with the strumous individual ; nutritious matter , administered in thc shape of food , will not contribute to his strenght _, so long as the causes which prevent its deposition as solid animal structure continue , or as long as those , which contribute to its rapid elimination from the body ' remain . Like thc plant , such individual will also be _particulary susceptible of , and influenced by , atmospherical changes . —Medical Times .

CORNWALL . Penzaxce . —How oft , within the last four years , have I heard the wail of disappointment uttered by Democrats in this county at thc neglect exhibited towards us by the leaders of the agitation . No doubt it may be said , that if means were at command , Cornwall would not have been neglected ,- if my recollection selves me right , thc present Executive have been more shackledfor want of funds than any . of their predecessors ; but still this county has received more Demoeratical instruction from the present than all the other Executives put together . In December , 1843 , Thomas Clark came amongst us , and by his labour rallied many around the banner of Chartism . In tin ' s town , at his _hVstlecture , we mini berecl
eight , at his second wc increased to fifteen . Struggle wc did arduously , our numbers still augmenting . Prior to Mr . Doyle ' s visit we had twenty-three in the society , but when that simplifier of Democracy commenced his duties amongst us , he set us to think on municipal affairs , as well as other matters , the result of whicli has been made apparent , more than once , in the columns of _thenar . He removed an enormous amount of prejudice , and rallied men around us , of whose _« xertions , in the spreading our beloved principles , we now feel proud . But to crown all , Mr . M'Grath commenced his toil in this county , by lccturingon the evening of thc 13 th inst . in Mr . O'Brien ' s long room , to a densely-crowded audience , whose
admiration of his lecture was marked on every countenance . The chairwas ably filled by Miv Jas . Murray Sawle , of Falmouth . The result is cheering—seven took out cards . We now number about fifty uncompromising Chartists—nien who fear not the frowns ofthe haughty aristocrat , nor-yet the dastardly threats of the body-grinding employer . —Correspondent . —P . S . As centralization is the order ofthe day , why not try it in our movement ? If the Convention be held in London , it will be a great boon to the Democrats of the west . We have resolved that Cornwall shall be represented this time ; but If the delegates meet at Leeds , the expenses will press more heavily on us than if they met in London .
EDINBURGH . The Council of the Edinburgh Chartists met in their Hall , foot of _Carrubbcr ' _B-close , on Saturday night ; and--having . taken . -,. into consideration the _nstice from the Executive Council in last week's Star , came to the resolution of-holding a special meeting of all their members , for the purpose of considering the particulars therein recommended . NORTHAMPTON . New Locality . —The members ofthe new locality met on Monday evening last . There was a very large attendance of members . A resolution was come to to enter into a subscription for Mrs . Ellis . The addr ess of the Executive came under discussion : and it was agreed that the collectors should submit the questions asked by the Executive , to the members , on Sunday next , and report the same at . the next meeting .
IPSWICH . The Land . —It is not often you hear anything from the movement party in this dark part of the country , the reason being obvious—wc hare no organisation to create an impression upon the public mind in favour of democratic principles . This arises from the apathy of the people in general , and their total disregard to their own interests . It is not at all pleasant for a man in this part ofthe country to take a prominent part in the agitation for the people's welfare , he is sure to incur the hatred of the master class by so doing ; the end being loss of work , and consequent privation and starvation as a reward for patriotism .. Although you hear nothing from us , we are silent observers of the progress thc people ' s Question is making . We can yet give tyranny a
blow , when its hydra-head shows ltscli , as instanced ¦ in the case of the doings of a farmer at Levenham , ( towards some poor gleaners , which you published in 'the Star . Your account I got reinserted in the Suffolk Whronicle , and it created a , great sensation , flic fellow tried to palliate the crime by paying expenses . A pretty way of settling such an atrocious affair . The land ! the land !! that ' s the question which is marching , onwards . "Allotments , " " allotments , " is the cry ; aye , and the . landlords ave advocating it | in opposition to the stubbornness and grasping selnshjness ofthe farmers , who are , as a body , the greatest ; tyrants and monopolising rascals that the labourers jliave to contend against . It is , however , consoling to find that where the labourers have partially got a ' ] " bit of land to till , " great benefits have been the iresult .
BRADFORD . Lecture . —On Sunday evening a lecture was delivered in Butterworth' Buildings , on behalf of Mrs . Ellis , and a collection made at the conclusion : hooks have also been sent to the various localities , to give an opportunity to the out-townships to contribute their mite for . the support of the Exile ' s family . A committee of observation was . . appointed to watch the movementsof . the . Whigs , in their attempts to obtain a charter of incorporation for the borough .
MANCHESTER . Chartist Sunday School—On Sunday the quarterly examination ofthe children took place , and- * as highly satisfactory . . There are now about 700 scholars ; the great difficulty to contend with , is want ] of teachers . : Lecture by Mr . O'Connor . —Great Meeting at Carpenters Hail ;—On Sunday evening this spacious _haUwas crowded to excess , to hear an address by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . Mr . Thomas Rankin was called to Ihe chair , and delivered a brief but appropriate address . Mr . O'Connor , who was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of affection , followed , delivering one of his usual excellent addresses ; his subject being on tliis occasion Trades
Unions , and the state ot affairs in Ireland . He concluded by administering some caustic medicine to the humbugs and shoy-hoys , and sat down amidst prolonged cheering . The meeting _walfefterwards addressed by Dr . M'Douall , Wm . DixWand Mr . John West ; after which Mr . Liney moved "That the thanks of this meeting are due , and hereby given , to Feargus O'Connor , Esq :, Dr . M'Douall , Mr . Wm . Dixon , and Mr . John West , for the able addresses they have delivered this evening . " The re ?';'" 'Oion being seconded , was carried by acclamation . Mr . West briefly acknowledged the compliment . Mr . Dixon . moved , and Mr . West seconded , a vote of thanks to thechairman , which was agreed to . Thus ended one of the must numerous and enthusiastic meetings held ill Manchester for some time oast .
PENZANCE . Leoiube . —Mr . M'Grath delivered a lecture to a goodly number on Sunday evening , which gave great satisfaction . On Monday evening he addressed an overflowing house : W . J . Guscott in the chair . In the course of his address he laid bare the several boasted acts of Whiggery . Throughout the whole of his lecture , which lasted over two hours , a breathless silence existed , unless when his truly conclusive inferences drew forth a burst of applause . Eighteen _S # H , _^ ' * aken _- 'Some of our lads accompanied Mr . M'Grath to St . Ives , where he had to lecture . We have resolved to hold a meeting every Sunday evening at eight o ' clock . The meeting for enrolling of members is held every Monday evening at seven o _' clockj at O'Brien ' s _^ Temperance' Hotel : we also meet on / fhursday evening at seven o ' clock , for readng , writing , arithmetic , mathematics , politics , & e .
BIRMINGHAM . Lectors . —On Tuesday evening last , the usual weekly meeting was held in the Democratic Chapel , Thorp-street . Mr . Lahgton occupied the chair , and commenced the proceedings by introducing Mr . James Saunders , who delivered a highly interesting and instructive lecture on " The right of the working class to the elective franchise . " Mr . Saunders ' s mode of dealing with the question was plain and simple , but hot a wit the less useful on that account . SHAKBPEmuN Locality . —This . locality has lately obtained a commodious room , situated in
Pikestreet , which was opened on Sunday last , by a lecture from Mr .- Balrstow , on "The incompatibility of class-legislation with national morality and proaperity . " The room was filled with an attentive audience , who appeared highly satisfied with the lecturer ' s arguments and reasonings . A number of members were enrolled after the lecture . The accounts were r _^ c an _f au ( " t € 1- ! > _and P undivided satisfaction . A Sunday adult and children ' s school has been opened- by . this : locality , and has already ' received considerable support .

. London Coun Exchange, Monday, Jan. 20....
. London Coun Exchange , Monday , Jan . 20 . —Tho arrivals of English wheat were large during the past week , but with this exception a material falling off is shown in the supplies of grain coastwise . The receipts of oats from Ireland , though still rather liberal , were also much below the arrival from thence the week immediately preceding . From abroad the supplies censisted of a few hundred quarters of wheat and oats , and a moderate quantity of flour . At this morning ' s market there was a " small show of wheat by land-carriage samples from Essex aiid Suffolk , and only about an average quantity from Kent . " . Of barley , the arrivals were hot large , nor were there many oats fresh up either coastwise or from Ireland Beans and peas were in fair supply , particularly the first named article . The extremely wet weather lately experienced caused most of the wheat'to come to hand in soft condition ; the best dry parcels were cleared off early at fully previous prices , but
afterwards the demand became dull , and for ihe ordinary runs last Monday ' s terms were . barely maintained . The transactions in free foreign wheat were on a restricted scale ; holders were , however , very firm , and needy buyers had to pay quite as much money as on this day week . In quotations of flour and malt no change occurred ; both articles were difficult of disposal . The demand for barley was languid in the extreme , and increased anxiety to realise being displayed , purchasers succeeded in obtaining the turn in their favour . Oats were held with much firmness Irish met with more attention than either English or Scotch , but prices of all sorts were fully supported . There was a fair inquiry for beans , and new , as well as old , sold at quite former rates . Peas moved off rather slowly , but former terms were well maintained . In bonded grain there was nothing doing . Cloverseed was extremely dull of sale , and prices must at present be regarded as nominal . Canary seed declined Is . to 2 s . per qr . In other articles no alteration .

York Corn Market , Jan . 18 . —We continue tohave liberal supplies of grain . In the best samples of wheat and barley a fair extent of business has been done , at last week's rates , but secondary sorts are almost neglected . Oats the turn . lower . Beans in good demand , and few offering . LivEBrooL Corj- Market , Tuesday , Jan . 21 . —• Wheat met a very limited demand this morning , and little or no change , can be noted in prices generally ; we quote the best Irish new red at 7 s , which was obtained for very choice quality , but good runs were offered at Cs 8 d to Cs lOd per 70 lbs . Oats sold slowly at our previous quotations , 3 s 2 d per 45 lbs ., an extreme rate . Flour and oatmeal were dull of side , without alteration as to price .

_Newoabtle-upom-Ttne Corn Market , Saturday , January 18 . —The weather stillkeeps extremely opeD , with a damp atmosphere ; and , as a natural consequence , tho condition of all grain is more or lew affected , hence the trade continues in a dull state ; we arc , however ,, _fiuUy impressed with the conviction that markets have seen their lowest for the present _,, and that a steady , improvement from henceforth may be looked for . At our market this morning we had a large show of wheat from the country , and from ih $ coast the arrivals are also liberal : notwithstanding which , however , dry samples were taken off at fully last week's prices ; out , to make progress in the illconditioned qualities—and of such the great bulk now offering from our _icrrowei-s _consists—it was necessary
to submit to , rather lower rates to effect a clearance . Choice Boutli-country qualities were held with _increased firmness—49 s . per quarter having been re peatedly refused for well-selected red , wei _g hing C 3 ilb . to . 64 lb . per bushel ; whilst other descriptions were luovo aakable by making a _glight concussion to our buyers . In foreign _thetransactions were unimportant ; still , full rates were realized . In bonded nothing stirring . With flour we have been again freely supplied ; and , the _dealera' having purchased freely of late , the trade upon the whole has ruled slow throughout the week ; and , in partial instances , where ves
sels required clearing , rather lower prices were accepted : to-day , however , somewhat more firmness was shown , wliich induces us to look forward to a better sale being experienced next week . In rye little stirring . For barley the demand has proved limited ,. and upon all descriptions we must note a decline of fully Is . per quarter ; 35 s . being now an extreme quotation for extra Chevalier , ' weighing 55 lb . per bushel . Malt without change ? Iu beans little passing ; but boiling peas are more inquired after , and incline higher . We had a less supply of oats from the country , for which a ready Bale was experienced at last week's prices . ' . '" . ' ;
' ,. Manchester Cork Market , Saturday , Jan . 18 . — The late large arrival from Ireland is followed up by a very moderate import thenee ; but there is a largesupplv to "Wakefield . The trade during the week has exhibited considerable firmness ; and , though there has been nothing approaching to briskness , late prices have been well supported . This observation applies generally to the principal markets . The business doing at our Exchange this morning callB for no particular observations . Wheat fully maintains late prices . Floar moves slowly , but former rates are steadily adhered to , and realised upon sales made ; and , of all other articles , it «« iy be observed that they meet a moderate sale at _tlie'quotations of our last . ... ; ,- _,-. _-x .. ,
Liverpooi . Cattle Market , Monday , Jan . 20 . — The supply of cattle at market to-day . has been much the Bame as last week . Beef , 5 * d . to Gd . per lb ; mutton a shade higher , say from Old . to _CJd . perlb . > v _Leeos Corn Market , Tuesday , Jan . 21 . —Our supplies are again large , and little impiovemen it yet perceptible in the condition of wheat . Although late prices aro pretty well maintained , we have only a slow sale for tine dry wheat to-day , while all wanting condition is a good deal neglected . The barley trade continues very dull , and only really select descriptions support last week ' s prices . There is no variation in oats , beans , shelling , or other articles .
