By adding to the quantity or making up the deficiency of the « iline matters in the > eed and soils . I would therefore recommend such experiments to "be repeated , carefully examining the quantity of inorganic matter in the > eed and soils , and observing whether , when nndressed . the germinating power appears to the dependent at all on the proportion of this matter . It is needless to add , that the composition and proportions of the steep or manure must be known and stated , and that all experiments or secret preparations of quark fertilizers are of no avail , and not worth the trouble of recording .

TIIE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM SIIUP . The first experimental trial of the engine o f the steam-ship Great Britain took place on Wednesday la » t , in Cumberland Basin . The screw made thirty six revolutions , at about half speed . Tie triaJ was perfectly satisfactory . Tlie Great Britain will leave the basin on the 11 th Lust . She will remain in King-road for a short time , whence she will make a few experimental trips ; after which she will proceed to the Thames . - A correspondent of the Moil gives the following description of this vessel : —So many and contradictory have been the accounts of this steam-ship , that 1 determined to see and to form an opinion upon her myself , before ibe final trial of this experiment , which , ii successful , will coninjence a new era in naval
architecture-Bnilt entirely o f iron , the contours presented to the eye are of the most exquisite grace—tine and beautifully ronnded in ler lines , with a gentle sheer , she sits upon the water like a racing gig , her _ immense length looking still greater from the absence of paddle-boxes , or anything to break the beautiful

curves of her mdes . She is the first vessel I have seen built entirely of iron , the plates forming her sides being rounded in over her timber heads ( for want of a better name I must call them so ) without bulwarks , hammock netting , or any defence but an iron railing . Nor has she the regiment of masts which the engravings represent her with—one large and heavily sparred foremast , and the low wide funnel , alone breaking the sheer of her vast flush deck . There is , when seen in dock , a trifling drawback to her general appearance , in one large hawse-hole directly amidships , breaking the line of her stern , and giving her , in some degree , the look of a man whose nose has been in the wars .
1 proceeded on deck . It is unfortunate that no guide is appointed to show the wonders of the enginerooms , for it was dreary to toil through the wilderness of polished iron , in one respect like the land of promise , for it literally was flowing with oil , with no kind soul to afford information : and if my dascription should be imperfect , or tlie dimensions incorrect , the first arises from want of comprehension , and the latter from the vague -information I was at the time able to procure . Directly across ( athwart the sailors call it ) the midship of the vessel , and occupying the greater part of that section , is a large wheel , eighteen feet six inches in diameter , and supported by a strong framing , and this is put in motion by a crank axis , passing fore and aft , and driven at each end by a pair of cylinders , making four in all . These are disposed in the form of ihe letter A , making their stroke obliquely inwards , and bv a parallel motion communicating directly with
the cranks . The air pumps are placed between the legs of the A , and it will be seen that a most compact form of engine is thus obtained . In the l > ottom of the hold , directly under the large wheel , is the main shaft , 130 feet in length and sixteen inches in diameter . This passes fore and aft , and out through a stuffing-box , in the run of the vessel , the end working in a bearing in the stern-post . Upon the shaft , directly under the large wheel , is a drum , six feet in diameter , and round this and the driving-wheel pass tliree endless chains , formed like the fusee chain of a watch , which are received into grooves corresponding with their links , both upon the wheel and tiie dram , and thus communicate the power , the propeller-shaft making about tliree revolutions for each stroke of the engines . nut-sjde the vessel , and nlxiut level with the load water line , but at present a foot or so out of the water , appears tiie propeller , formed with four vanes like the sails of a windmill , but broader in proportion , and onlv six feet in diaitieter .
Never , in appearance at least , w ; is a machine so inadequate t »> rts end as this ; but unquestionably in planning this , in regulating its velocity by the power applied , and the resistance to be overcome , the same science has been ' called into action that iirst sug-L'esti ' d the va > t ves > el . nnd lx > ldly easting aside all existing prejudices , devised new types for its mighty machinery . In thi * slight and hasty sketch 1 have not attempted any are-iiuu <> t her cabin accommodation , or the mere unlmlstery work of a passenger ship . In the first place . aU this i > . still ineomidete , and when finished may appear more convenient than it at present does ; nor did it possess , tu me at least , anv interest in n > iir 5 > ari ~<> n with tht * m ; u-bim-ry of this bold and vast experiment In which 1 venture to wish all the success which its dariiiL ' so well merits .

Loxnox Cokn Kxcha \( . e , j Mondw , Diif . lt . —The avrivsils of English wheat ) and barley were large during the past week , but of ; other articles the supplies coastwise were moderate . From Scotland only a few small parcels of barley J and two or three thousand quarters of oats arrived , but of the latter grain tlie reeeipts from Ireland were to a fair extent . From abroad tlie supply of barley Was very liberal , that of oats tolerably good , with a moderate quantity of wheat and flour , the latter Canadian . At this morning's market the show of wh ^ at by land carriage samples from the neighbouring counties was small ; there was likewise a falling oil' in the display of barlev and oats ; the quantity fresh up was unimportant , fieans and grey peas were , on the other hand , plentiful , and there were more white peas offering than of late . The sharp frost caused all ikinds of corn to come
to hand in improved condition , and the trade wjus consequently firm . English wheat met rather an active demand , and a clearance was effected without difficulty , at fully the currency of Monday last . Foreign free wheat did not jnove off very freely , its previous value was , however , well supported . Flour , though still somewhat dull of sale , was held with increased firmness . Notwithstanding the late very plentiful arrival of barley , fine malting qualities excited attention . Choice parcels were held at rather over former rates , whilst all other descriptions were quite as dear as on this day se ' nnight . In quotations of malt no change occurred . For oats a steady inquiry was experienced , and prices had rather an upyvard tendency . Beans jnioved off very tardily , and were Is . per ' qr . cheaper . Grey and maple peas were likewise a trifle easier to buy , and white no dearer . In bonded articles hothing of interest trans-

London Smithfield Mahket . —Monday . —A s the great Christmas market will beheld here on Monday next , no little curiosity was manifested by graziers and butchers to ascertain the quality of the stock exhibited for sale to-day , by way of a criterion to regulate their future transactions . But , with the exception of there being a few well-made-up Devons , Scots , and runts , amongst the bullock supply , a very srreat and almost unprecedented deficiency of quality
was apparent ; in fnct , at least a moiety of . it was less titan half fat . From the numerous attendance of butchers , and the near approach of Christmas , we were led to expect an improved demand , but such was not the case ; still , however , the primest beef w ; us in good request at fully last week ' s quotations—viz ., from 4 s . to 4 s . 4 d . per rflbs . ; but in all other kinds exceedingly little was doing , and , in some instances the rates had a downward tentizney . The imports of live stock froin , abroad , during the past week have l ) een again liberal ; they having amounted to J ( X > oxen and . cows , and 150 . sheep at Hull : and 'J 3 beasts , together with 103 sheep , into London—the whole being , from . Rotterdam bv steamers . The supply on show to-day
consisted of 44 oxen and cows , and 104 sheep . \\ ith respect to the quality of the former , we may observe , that it exhibited a slight improvement compared with previous importations ! while the latter were in excellent condition . The beasts found purchasers at from £ 16 to £ 1 < <> , and the sheep from 39 s . to 44 s . per head . We find that the foreign beasts are still in good favour amongst the butchers , while the sheep are somewhat eagerly sought after . The bullock droves from our northern grazing districts , consisted of about 1800 shorthorns . From Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , we received 360 Scots , &c . ; from the western and midland counties , 600 Herefords ,
runts , Devons , < fcc . ; from other parts of England , 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland , 200 honied and polled Scots ; and from Ireland , via Liverpool ) , 40 beasts—the remainder of the supply being derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis . The supplv of sheep was somewhat on the increase , and of fair average quality . Fine old Downs were in good request at full prices , but all other breeds were with difficulty disposed of at late rates . In calves , exceedingly little was doing at previous currencies . We hid on offer 144 pigs , by sea , from Ireland . All descriptions of pork were heavy , yet prices were supported .

Manchester Coitx Mark . kt , Saturday , Dec . 7 . — Rather a better demand has been experienced for all descriptions of Hour during the week , and although we cannot note any improvement in prices , the rates previously obtainable have been i ' uJJy supported . In oats and oatmeal a steady business has likewise been pacing , at the full currency of our last market-day . At our market this morning few transactions occurred in wheat , but no alteration-in value was observable . A moderate demand existed for flour , and the quotations of this day so'iiiiight were firmly maintained , ( t nts , liein ^ in scanty supply , commanded an advance of Id . - per 4-5 lbs . ; and oatmeal met a fair sale , at full y late rates . 15 eans were in limited request , and asraiu rather cheaper .

Throughout the week the trade has been inactive ; but , ' . with continued firmness on the part of holders of foreign , and the small imports of Irish new , prices of-wheat throughout the week have been maintained . Flour has experienced a very dull sale , and home manufacture must be quoted Is . per sack cheaper .

State of Irad ! :. —The intelligence of the complete closing of Hie Elbe by ice , which reached this town on Saturday , has put a sudden stop to purchases } of yarn tor Orel-many ; and the accounts from India not being considered favourable , the yarn market has become exceedingly dull , though , as yet , without any material change in prices . The market for manttiactured goods is also inactive , for which the season may sufficiently account . Yesterday there were some rather " extensive inquiries for 40-inch shirtings , at lower rates ; but , we believe , not much business done . — Manchester Guavdian , of Wednesdav .

Early Winter . —The mountains and even the upper valleys on the French frontier of Arragon are covered with snow , an event which has not taken place at so early a period for forty years . In tlie lower valleys rain has fallen almost incessantly for the last month . Wolves have come down in troops , and devoured an immense number of sheep , horned cattle , and horses ; and even the beavs , said to be in general so cowardly , have become bold and rapacious . A few days since the wolves devoured ninety sheep and several horses between the Eaux Chaudes and Gabas .

A work of his on Italy is also spoken of as forthcomingwhich , says the Ravtte de Paris , the poet " designs as his first political offering to the peerage . " Increase of Pavpkrs . — From the . returns prepared under the direction of the Poor Law Commissioners , it appears that the number of out-door paupers in f > s-l unions in England and Wales had increased during the past year . Thus the total . number of aged and infirm out-door paupers , partially or wholly disabled , relieved during the quarter ended Lady-day 1 . ^ 42 , was 271 , 7 « 1 > , being composed of . "> 0 , 740 men wholly unable to work , and 111 , 584 women and 31 . 1 If * men and 6 S J ,. ' 12 O females partially able to
work . In the Lady-day 184 ;) , the number of those wholly unable or only partially able to work had risen from 271 , 76 !! to 2 SS , 74 >' , showing 17 , 0 < Wi increase in one quarter alone ! Thus also has the amount levied and expended in England and Wales gradually increased , year by year , since L 838 . The amount levied in 18 . *? was # » , l ' s « , 'jS {) ; in ltSifti , . &Vil . > , ! i ; W ( an increase of between £ 400 , 000 and - £ . > 00 ,. 000 ); in 1840 , iti , ol 4 / i <> . > ( an increase again nearly equal * . as compared with the preceding year ); in 1841 , the amount levied for the purposes of the 1 'oor Law further increa . sed to £ f v' 3 . 51 , ^ ' 8 ; in 1842 , to Xtl . / VjU . sOO ; and in 184 ! $ , to the enormous sum of iLT .

For this tlie magistrate tined him £ 10 . —A few days since a ruffian brutally assaulted a poor woman after partaking ; of her hospitality under pretence of knowing her husband , then awav at sea , and in which assault he was assisted by his companion , who had shared what the poor woman ' s house afforded . In resisting their violence the poor woman broke her arm , and , the Wretch who caused this calamity was lined , £ 0 , or two months' imprisonment . rinci'MsTA . vfiAL KvrnENCE . —A woman , fifty-two years of age , the wife of a small farmer , named Henvoisin , residing at Eprevill , was tried on the 27 th ult . before the Court of Assizes of the Euro , for thp murder of her brother , Pierre Vautier . It appeared from the indictment and the evidence that the brother and the
sister had for nearly fifteen veal's liecn on Uad terms , in consequence-of- tlie amrer felt by the latter at her brother having a larger portion of the property left by the father thaii she thought- right , and that Vautier , in his just resentment against his sister , who was a woman of the" worst feelings , had made a will bequeathing hi * . property ( about lli . HOOf . ) to a friend . The mother , however , being attacked with . severe illness , and therefor * ' desirous of seeing Iut daughter , Vautier , who resided with his mother , consented to receive his sister , and at the death-bod of the parent a rccHiiciliation took place . Vautier having about the period of his mother ' s death broken his thigh , the sister remained at his house to nurse him ; and , aUhough her si'lfisu disposition was again shown Ijv her desiring to- , have the whole of the household furniture of the deceased , and a quarrel ensued , yet Vautier , a- * a proof that the reconciliation made bv the bedside of his mother was sincere on his
part , revoked the will which hi' had made 111 lavour of'bis friend , and executed another , in which he left . everything to his sister . This act of irenorosity Caused his death . The prisoner , anxious to get immediate jiossessiuu of the property , and taking advantage of his feeble state , entered his room at nisiht . and with a club beat out hi . s brains . Early on the following moruiug she went to a neighbour , and told him thai durimr the night some thieves had broken in , and after nihbius the house had murdered hov brother . The character of the woman , however , created suspicion , ' and the officers of justice had soon proof that the murder was committed by her . On the trial the evidence was such as not to admit of a doubt of her guilt ; hut the jury , to the surprise of the Court , di-i-l .-ircd that- fherc was no proof of the KKIldci"
having been coniiiuttcil with premeditation . She \ v ; is therefore only ' sentoiieed to imprisonment for life , with hard labour . A remarkable fact \ vs \ n revealed on the trial , showing that even the most caleuli ' . t ' nig criminals frequently conlmit great owiM ' ghts . The murderess had taken the invcautiun , after tlie 1 oiisunimation <> i ' the crime , to ; procc > ed to it neighbouring spring , and wash away the ' stains of blood from her hands and sonic of her clothing , but she had placed a bloody hand upon a latch on the inner side of a door which was locked , and the'Jkey of which was found in her possession . Her story of thieves having entered the house was contradicted by this fact , foi * they could not subsequently have locked a door of which they had not the key ; the marks of blood also were those of the left hand , and it was proved that the prisoner was left-handed . —Oali < jnanis Messenaer .
As AiiEiur-A-N Actress , Miss Cushman , celebrated in the highest walks of tlie drama , has arrived in England . Yankee Shooting . —I'll tell you of a peculiar cheap shot as I had with a single bullet . In at farmer Spovin ' s , 1 see a coop ready to go to Brocklyn , with seven and forty ducks in it . So I said to Spovin , " How mucli will you charge me for a single shot among that brood with a single bullet , whole , and not split : ' " "Two dollars , " said Spovin . "Done ! " says I , slick enough . Sol took a little bruised corn and strewed it along the trough , and out pops the seven and forty heads of the ducks . Then I lay down on the ground right away , and taking a perspective horizontal view of the whole regiment sideways , 1 wish I may be teetotally substaqiulated if 1 didn ' t cany oh ' the entire whole of the seven and forty heads .
The Intellectual Middle Class . —At a recent inquest Mr . Wakley stated , that not one-half of the jurors who attended inquests in the western district of Middlesex could write ; and that a short time since he held an inquest at which- * ten jurors out of the twelve could not sign their names . Earthquakes . —Letters from Italy state that the continued shocks of earthquake by which , for more than a year past , the city of Ragusa has been disturbed , have created so much alarm that it is in contemplation to evacuate the well-known place , and build a new Ragusa , on some bcttef protected spot of the Dalmatic shore .
