" Mr. Moubray's Book is unquestionably the most rraciical Work on the subject in our language. The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his Infor mation in pl.-in and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard,—two or three pigs, with a breeding sow, — and a cow for milk, cream, butter, and eheine,..-in an English country-house, appears indi spensable, and to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his Work, any Family may furnish their table with these luxuries at oae third ante price they are obliged to pay at the markets ; and the Farmer and Breeder may render it a mune of additional profit." —farmer's Journal. - rptiz ARABIAN VEGETABLE pgr t i ii i r tii- A. failing Remedy for Bilious and Liver to; H tual Costiveness, Flatulence, Loss of Appetite, Old dineis., and an eases of Detective Snugly in the Digestive Or gans.

LORD BYRON. We quote the following account, from an Ameri can paper, of the interview of certain Americans with Lord Byron, at Genoa : " Genoa, " 1 have been rambling about Italy for fourteep months, and know every road in it Letter than any one in America, and every greet or lane in Milan, Florence, Rome, Venice, &c. better than the street in Richmond; I am, however, I believe, about to quit it, I fear, for ever. I am here lingering oil the end. On the 16th we waived here : about two miles from town we overtook a Gentleman on horse back, attended by a servant ; I looked at his face, and instantly recognized him, from a portrait by an American painter, West, now at Florence, to be the most extraordinary man alive; a glance at his dis torted foot confirmed it—we rode on : part of our object in visiting Genoa had been to introduce oar- • selves to him. Accordingly, next day we wrote' a short and polite note, requesting leave to pay our re spects, to which we received one equally polite, re. questing us to call next day at two o'clock. We went; a servant stood ready to receive us, and we were shewn into a saloon, where we waited with beating hearts for about a minute, when he made his appear ance. He is about five feet six inches high—his body is small, and his tight leg shrunk, and about two inches silo. ter than the other—his head is beyond description fine. West's likeness is pretty good, but no other head I ever saw of him is in the least like him. His forehead is high, aid smaller at the top than below (the likenesses are vice versal.. His hair, which had formerly hung in beautiful brown ringlets, be ginning to turn grey, he being, as he told us, thirty rive years old. His eyes being a light blue and grey ; his nose straight, but a little turned up ; his teeth most beautiful; his head is perhaps too large for his body. Who is he? One of our company began a set apology, which he cut short by telling us it was use less, for that he was very glad to see us ; and 'then began to ask us questions, 50 ill a minute without waiting for an answer L's any, and if by chance it was made, he seemed impatient if it contained more than two words. He flew from one subject to another, and during about an hour and a half talked upon at least 200 subjects—sometimes with great humour, laughing very heartily: at length looking round, he asked with a quizzical leer which of us was from old Virginny? I bowed assent; then followed a ca techism, to which I occasionally edged in an an swer. Have you 'been in England? How long have you been in Italy ? Is Jefferson alive ? Is it true that your landlords ,are all Colonels and Jt:s - Do you know Washington Irving? He it decidedly the first English prose writer except Scott. Have you rend Bracebridge Hail? (I answered no). Well, if you choose, I'll lend it you? hereit iss Have you - any Ameticen books. to lend me I anevery desirous of reading the Spy. I intend to visit America as soon as I can arrange my affairs in Italy. Your morals •are much purer than those (.1 England (there I laugliesl—those of the higher classes of England have become very corrupt—(l smo thered my laugh,). Do youthink, if I was to live io America• they would ever make me a Judge of the Ten Pound Court? Ts it true that an Englishman is always insulted in travelling through America.? . We assured him not. He then told , us * more laughable stories of the ridi&slous biographies made of ham, especially by the French. - One of them represented him as a gloomy; miserable mortal, keeping the skull of his mistress as a drinking-cup. I told him that was pretty much the idea we had of him, as we con sidered him a sort of Vampire (he laughed heartily). He said Bracebridge Hall was beautifully written ; but as for the characters, they only exist in the brain of W. I. There are no old Englishmen, no yeomen. The English have lost everything good in their cha racter. Their morals are particutirly bad (here I thOught he really was quizzing us). In fine; he kept us for an hour and ti half constantly amused, and ilk- Missed us well satisfied with our interview. Llis manners are most charming and fascinating ; ;led it he is, as they say, a devil, he is certainly a merry one—nothing gloomy. His voice is low and me:, and at first sounds affected. No w who is it? Iliho is the man about whom I have written a whole lett er: , It is Childe Ibirold, Corsair, Don Juan...in plaia English, 'Lord Byron."
