THE herb Coltsfoot has long been distinguished for its' excellent properties in the cure of Coughs and other Pulmo. naty Complaints; and this Essence has. in the course of a lung practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus It affords great i elle in AstliMatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands. relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels: Thus It will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals Rawness and Soreness of the Chest.

The convivial meetings and the heated rooms consequent upon them, are the sources of many diseases in this month. Warns clothing, temperance, and regular hours, are, therefore, essential. Management of a Garden and Orchard. Sbould the weather be open, sow another row or two of Chad. too pees, and of masagoo, or early long-pod beans. Continue all practicable means of protection. This season of the yeat, however is more suited to thought and reflection, than to the action of the owner via small garden : let him, therefore, resolve on his plans ofuryear's operations; learn to prefer th e vegetables most se and most suitable to his soil and situation, and make all ne ccesuy mutations accordingly. 111 _Jggnagessent of a Farm. Throat; must be kept constantly at work this month, that the wattle may be fed with straw chaff. Use the worst straw first ; every change of straw should be for the better. Wheat straw makes the worst fodder: oats comes nest ; barley the best. - Do not he without a threshing machine, if you east afford it. Pigs should be well littered; they make the bat manure on the WM. In the management of store swine, oats are preferable to barley.— Young pigs require warm meat to make them grow. Keep the hedgers and ditchers close to work this month, that they may be ready for other business in the spring. Sheep that have been reared and constantly fed on chalk hills, are free front the rot as long as they continue In that situation. Sheep may be cured of the rot by management or medicine. Winter them in straw yards, where they have sheds to keep them dry. The disease of the rot is similar to dropsy; to 3 much abundance of water. An eminent farmer recommends the following method of cure :—Fast the rotten sheep one night; then take one table spoooful of oil of turpentine and two ditto of soft water cold, mix it thin, and give the mixture to each sheep at one dose. Then keep the *keep on dry food three or four days : at the end of that tint, repeat the dose, and continue them on dry food about nine days longer. At the end of that time they may be permitted to join the flock. Plants. Towards the en (I of the month, the miueltoe is in request, along with other evergreens, to decorate churches and private houses. The singularity of the growth and form of the misseltor brought it into repute among the Druids, for the purposes of mystical super stition, and its use has thence been continued many centuries after wards—so difficult it is to eradicate any thing of this sort from the minds of the people when once it is fairly rooted. It was long thought to be impossible to propagate this plant. In the natural state, the seeds are said to be dropped by the missel thrush, which feeds on the berries. Lately, however, it has been successfully propagated, by causing the bruised berries, which are very viscid, to adhere to the bark of such fruit trees as have been found most congenial to their growth. Upon the bark of these the seeds readily germinate, and take root. Some trees, such ss the oak, the beech, and the hornbeam, still tenaciously retain their leaves, probably because the life of the twigs on which they grow is not sufficiently vigorous to throw them of after their brown colour indicates that they are dead. Insects. The December moth (Digester pepuli) now makes its appear ance. It is remarkable that, in several other species of moths which appear in the perfect awe in the winter months, the female is not furnished, u the male is, with wings—though considering the habits of female insects, thia is not to be so much wondered at, for Nature leaves it to the instinct of the males to find them out ; and, while they remain motionless, stationary, or nearly so, the males are pursuing their Bight in every direction, continually on the wings and seldom alighting. Besides the moth just men tioned, one or two others now make their appearance ; and, in open weather, the common goat (Wes pipieru,) and several of its congeners, may be observed en the windows of rooms, or dancing under the shade of trees. - Birds. Few naturalists of any note now believe in the submersion of swallows under water during the winter, a drcuntstance not long ago confided in by naturalists of the highest name, such as Danes Barrington, Klein. and even Llamas himself, who talked of their assembling on reeds, and on the banks of rivers, and ringing their swallow song before they dived. But, were this so, our fishermen could not fail to drag some of them from their biding-places with their nets, a thing which has never been known to happen. Inde pendent of this, their physiological structure renders it impossible for them to exist for many minutes under water, and it is contrary to all analogy in the class of birds; for not even the sea-fowl. which live constantly in the water, are able to remain any time submetged. To put an end at once to the controversy. our Eu ropean swallows have been repeatedly seen crossing the Mediterra nean, towards Africa, at their autumnal departure, and hf. Adan son, who was too good a naturalist to be easily deceived, found them daring the winter in Senegal. • USEFUL REMARKS. Of all poverty that of the mind is the most deplorable.

The awful sentence of the law was carried into effectat squarer past 11 this forenoon, on the persons of Allick Brown, David Car michael, Thompson Brown, and George Norman, slaves in the pos session of Mrs. Isabella Graham (of colour,) for the murder of her husband, Wm. Graham (of colour,) in June, 1827. The criminals approached and ascended the gallows in the most firm and collected manner, after which they requested permission to address their fellow slaves, that they might advise them not to follow their example. They reiterated a confession of their guilt, which they had made the preceding day, and declared that they had not of themselves any intention of committing murder, but bad been induced by Mrs. Graham, Miss R. Ohlson, and Robert Ducat, to murder Mr. Graham. Allick Brown said that Mrs Graham first told them to do it, or otherwise the negroes would be sold fur debts of Mr. Graham, and they would lose their houses and grounds. lie replied, he could not do it ; he did not r lard his losses, be would And " fire and water" every where. the slaves were repeatedly urged ; and on the night of the murder, Hubert Ducat, Amon tell o'clock, went to their bosses and called them up, and said they must kill Mr. Graham. Thus urged, they executed the horrid decd. The criminals asked for the Gutter Head tastily, and fur !wee Johnson (the Crown witness,) and for John Wray, and said they ought to have attended, and they (the criminals) might prove to them that, though they bad brought them to the gallows, they fist. gave them • they said they died in peace and goodwill with every body. They repeatedly spoke to their wives and children and others, and recommended them to live well, to take care of one another, and to avoid bad advice, and not to do as they had done. Allick Brows called a woman by name, and desired her to convey his remembrance to the Gutter Head family, and tell them he for gave them.; he uttered a most affecting prayer. I be of rats also prayed, and they all evinced a fortitude and resignation surpas-ing what I could have imagined it possible for people to do sti.stirmi is - their terrible situations, with ropes about their necks, ready to be launched into eternity. The Rev. Mr. Griffiths attended, and prayed with them in a manner that sensibly touched the A-clings of all present. The struggles of the dying sufferers were soon ended ; in three mi nutes they all appeared dead. Mr. Griffiths was most assidious The murder was planned by all the family at Gutter Head, ex cept . Harriet Maori (she is the mother of Robert and Mitch Ducat.) The criminals and other slaves were repeatedly tried by the family to be induced to murder Graham, but they would no+. That on one occasion Mrs. Graham wcnr to Buff Ray, leavind word to have her husband dispatched ; and that when she returned, and found it was not done. she was very angry. On the day or the night of the murder Mr.. Grahtun had his bedstead taken down, and Iris sheets seta to the river, ordering at the same time a shake down, (I. e. a pallet) lobe made in the ball (which has a dirt floor) for him that night. She went to Buff Bay in the evening, leaving directions to bare bins killed—his place of sleeping was changed to the hall, that the murd might have more room ts, get round him ; that, about ten o'clock at night, Robert Duct went to the negroes' houses, and called them up, when they pro ceeded to the Etickra-house ; Elizabeth Ohlson gave them plenty of rum to drink, before they could make up their minds to do the horrid died. They went into Graham's apartment, and seized him; he jumped up, and cried out very loudly, " Murder ! mur der !" They were frightened, and about to egoist, when Ducat looked on and said, " if you don't finish the work now, he will pity the devil with you sat." Thy then grasped him, and :nor tiered him, as related by Isaac Johnson, whose testimony they cm - robor.rted, except as to the use of a cord. Mick Brown said he had no cord; he strangled Graham with his hands. Robert Ducat and Elisabeth °Mum, and two slaves, named John Brown and John Wray, looked on. Ahick Ducat walked up and down the piazza adjoining. They declared no reward was promised them, and none given. They said all the slaves of Gutter Head knew of the murder. The other criminals said George Norman ought not to be exe cuted, as he only looked on, and did not assist in the murder, though be did in the conveyance of the body to the river. They asked why the Gutter. Head family were out taken up to be banged as well as they, and said ft was because they were poor slaves. They said they would have confessed before. but that Robert Ducat spoke to them at night through the grating of the gaol, and told them they must not tell any thing, and he would get them free from trouble. He gave them some cigars. Thus has been brought to light, and partly to justice, one of the most atrocious murders that stains the Anita, of the Island—a wife instigating her slaves to the murder of her husband land for the mercenary coodderation of securing her property from sale for the payment of his debts. Let us earnestly hope that justice will, ere long, overtake those who are infinitely more guilty than the unfortunate slaves who have suffered. 6 It is really surprising, that while so many persons were ac quainted with the murder, upwards of three years transpired be fore its discovery. Much error exists as to the manner in which this discovery was made. The facts are these :—One of the Gutter Head slaves, named Jane Williams, a Creole, spoke of it to some of bee friends, and said sbe believed her sickness of late was occasioned by her concealment of the murder. This reached the ears of Mr. &erne, of Ref Bay; and he, on or about the 15th of July, made an affidavit of the circumstances before his Honour the Costae, who therefore issued his warrant to apprehend her and her husband, William Robertson. On examination thty mentioned the names of the murderers ; they were apprehended on the 17th, when Isaac Johnson confessed it unhesitatingly. George Norman and Thompson Brown also confessed it. AUick Brown and David Carmichael persisted in denying it till the day before their execution. With this knowledge of the confession by three of the murder ers it was matter of great astonishment to every one that &Ira. Graham" employed Counsellor 'Maas on behalf of the criminals, and made the insidious attempt of proving, by perjured witnesses, an alibi in favour of Thompson Brown and David Carmichael. She went to Kingston after the condemnation attic criminals, but I have not learnt whether she made any application to his Excellency the Governor for their pardon. It is thought she did. I send you the Inquest on Graham. In the face of evidence, then thought respectable, the Jury could not bring in any other verdict than they did. —Royal Gazette, Oct. 3. LISBON, November 28. PRIVATR CORI OF Tilt The Agent of the British Government who came to this country on the removal of the late Consul-General was at first received with so much attention by the satellites of Miguel I. who promised every thing he required, that he, in his delight, imparted to his instructors in England his sati.factory feelings. He was instantly to gain every object for which the former Consul bad struggled in vain; and he that broached to the Miguelite Minister another scheme of the Cabinet which had sent him, and that was to form a Treaty with Miguel, which was to be the bond of union between British freedom and Portuguese slavery—the ratification of Mignel's usurpation, and a fool's cap and bells to amuse John Bull. The Miguelites, who are u deceptive in their machinations as any of the'Continental diplomatists, heard and accepted with rapture the project, and contibued for more than a month to wheedle him with promises, until be at length (Saracens' that all the former promises given within the first week were nothing more than idle air. Mr. Noble's property in Oporto was still sequestrated ; Mrs. Storey was and is still in prison there. Duped and vexed, he this day week went to the Viscount San tarem, Nliguel's Minister for Foreign Affairs, and told him that, relying upon that Minister's word and honour, he had written to London and Oporto that the British claimants for Iliguel's mercy were to be soon satisfied, and that now, finding himself mistaken, he would en i!e such a despatch to London as would de stroy fur ever all Miguel's hopes of recognition. The poor lift e Viscount. terrified at the formidable threat, could first promise o. - thing ; but he soon followed the threatener to Ms home, and Fu• the long-prepared, and, oo a former occasion, exhibited documents in a train for going to Oporto. The brow of the British agent r lased, and he of coarse continues to arrange the Treaty. Of tie multi from Oporto nothing is as yet known.

The navigation of those rivers is said to be an earnest object of the King of Spain's wishes, fur he hopes by this means to gain Portugal• to himself. Some of the -politicians are busy in imagining what titles will, be bestowed upon the Earl of Aberdeen and his agent for their aiding and abetting Miguel's usurpation, but as yet thvy.have not decided upcn the appropriate ones. . Mli,uel went on Tuesday last over the Tagus.to Mentijo, from whence be was to proceed to Pinheiro, near jAlcacer du Sal, to shoot wild boars, &c. ' lie was accompanied fiy 27 of the horse police ; 50 Cavalry of Reit. 1 ; and 90 of Infantry Re s t. No. 1. The' Royalists were dissatisfied with this "'wild-goose chase," which costs all the numey that could be gathered, sod among other sums, that of £20,000, which the new contrictut• for soap and tobacco gave last week for obtaining a, catension of one year to their first arrangement—that is, of the year 18S4. The Treasury, In its miserable state,"has Paid away bills accepted by those contractors, due in 18.
