Though men and women drag the small liar- TIOW after them, their hoes resemble a bill for digging up the roots of trees. A small plough, with the aid Of their strong little shelties, would execute this task of tillage far better, and with much greater expedition ; but, instead of bring thus usefully employed, they arc suffered to run al most wild on the bills, being used only to ride upon to church in the summer, or to carry a little sea-wear in pan niers ; they are capable, however, of enduring a great deal of fatigue ; they are strong, docile, and sun-fuouwl ; and, though a man of ordinary strength can lift a sticky from the ground, yet this little creature is able to carry double. Srveral of the proprietor s have cumnieneed making some slight improvements in agriculture round their dwellings; they have sown a few turnips, about as much in quantity . as will serve • mile), cow or two during, the winter. Am y person would have supposed that the Ministers of the se vere! parishes, whet have been educated, us they have been, hi tie. different College:: in sentient', and seen the benefits Arising from agriculture, would have set an example to the lower clas,; instead of which, with the exception-of one or two, when you visit the parsonage you generally sec the garden of the Mule:aril, a good crop of pest being the only article that they MCI to desirous of raising. The 11ev. Mr. J. Tut nhull, Minister of Tingwall, is the only M iniater that has furnished an example to Ina pariah of industrious cultivation and of improved agricultural management in the rotation crops: both hie method and his implements of husbandry are superior: but the tenantry are very poor, and unable to proeure either such iinpkments, or such weds as would suit their soil ; such articles as ploughs and ens are wholly beyond their means of purchase. Turnips, carrots, onions, and the different kinds of cabbage, pease, cede- sett, &e.; all these are vegetables which, from the moisture of the climate, thrive most luxuriantly. I dis tributed a considerable quantity of melts among several of the people., but they were at a loss what todo with them, having never seen tl e.n before. They are anxious enough to better both their own condition and the condition of the soil ; but their ignorance keeps them poor, and their po verty, in its turn, keeps then, ignorant. lt would, indeed, be a most patriotic and praiseworthy undertaking to raise a subscription to purchase seeds and instruments of hus bandry, which being placer) under the charge and care of the Presbytery, to be distributed by the Minister of the pariah to such industrious and skilful persons as had a man for agricultural improvement, the result would, in a few years, change the face of the country, and add Meal eilably to the comforts of the inhabitants. 'file commons should likewise bediviikel, and what belongs to the Crown should be either sold, or let on long leases. Commissioners should be appointed to look into this. The horses, cattle, and sheep, which they nllow to ram ble, and breed promiscuously, are degenerating every day. A well made Highland or Danish horse, and a well bred Highland bull, woule,improve the breed very considerably. Mr. AN liens osi, at Collivire, has an improved breed of Adder' on the island of Lien A, (ruin the cross of the Norwegian horse; they are very handsome anal strong; the sheep are a species of the Spanish breed which were left on tine Wand at the wreck of the Spanish Armada. In Shetland the sheep are very line wooled, but from an utter want of attention to cross-breeding their hair is getting lank and wiry. You may still, however, final here and there a very fine wooled sheep. A litt!^ attention to the introduction of s good stock would bring them to great perfection. The Shetland hills are uncommonly well adapted for rein deer, the rein alter mom growing in great abundance ; these would Adel to their stock of useful ani mals, and u the snow seldom lies beyond a day or two, and is of no depth, they would find a constant supply of good food. The rattle and sheep cannot eat die muss, but during the winter descend to the sea shore, and feed upon the sea weed at low water. It is curious to remark how instinctively for this purpose they attend to the ebbing and flowing of the tide ; with this fold they get :ineffably lean ; it requires the more nourishing subsistence which they procure in summer, to keep them alive during the winter. liy November or Hallowinass they are in piety good condition, especially the four-year-old oxen. This, euereover, is the time of the year when the lower orders marry, it being their feasting season, and Curate who hides his bow and arrows all tl-e rest of du: year, now les els them at all hearts.

Sia,—A curious instance of iii, ert of misrepresenta tion appears in the Times of this 1!:ty, respecting the pro ceedings of a Meeting of the Cr. ilitorn of the late Ranking Ileuse in Demers-strict. At that meeting it was acknow ledged that the publication:; iu yoar paper, and particularly a communication si,runtf " V.." in the Press of the Lith ult. had been of essential service to the creditors, in obtaining the restitution of two sums of money, amounting to 9000/. drawn ant by Miss Alarsli and a re lative of Mr. Stracey, on the day after the arrest of Mr. Fauntleroy. The acknowlt dgmtitt was openly and fully made, an your due, and the name of vour paper dis tinctly statist.

A statement had issued fiom the perm whirl', if trite, exposed great delinquencies, but of which I no notice would have been taken, only for the Committee:" The fart was, that the publications in the British Press were specifically mentioned, your paper having been the only one which has thrown any light on the mysterious transactions' of the house after the arrest of Mr. Fauntleroy. A person, like me, unversed in the disingenuous arts of some of the daily journals would have considered this paltry trick enough to satisfy the ill-euncealrd jealousy of the Times newspaper. For my own part, I confess, I smiled with contempt at the fraud practised by the Times to deprive you of the grateful acknowledgments of the creditors, and should not have called your attention to the circialastance, hot for the additional injustice done to you in that journal of to day. There, under pretence of guarding the unreflecting part of the community front being duped by false state ments, the proceedings of the Meeting are still further misrepresented, in order that, in contradicting the misre presentation, discredit may, if possible, be thrown on the statements really made at the Meeting. A correspondent of the Times, who signs himself " A Creditor," advises the editor to "apprise the public, that if the lion. Secretary, Mr. Solicitor Knight, said that he or the Committee had recovered, or had been the means of recovering, directly or indirectly, one alining to the estate, lie rattd what is wholly untrue." Now, Sir, the statement actually made was, that in consequence of the publications which had ismort from the British Press office (not ji,mi the loess generally, as it is reported in the Times), the two sums, amounting to 9,000/., had been recovered to time estate. Your publicatioos were shown to time parties whose conduct they impeached, and then the money was replaced. Common justice seems to require, that while the Tires contradicts its own miarepre :nta lions, it should not be suff:red to insinuate, that what was really stated was " wholly untrue." It is undeniable, that 9,etroL have been replaced for the benefit of the cre ditors, and that they owe that addition to the bankrupts estate to your publications.

The effect represented to have been produced by the Reverend I hilinary's sermon was rot as stated in that paper; and indeed the whole paragraph is so at' variance with the known truth, that I should not have considi red it necessary to have noticed it, except as I feel it a duty to remove the least dt.iibt on such a subject from the minds of his surviving relatives and friends : and to them it is sufficient to say, that far from being iu the state repre sented, Mr. Fatintleroy had been Run Its firs. uppre liensi tttt cool, calm, and resigned; but latterly, through the religious comfortatlirrdcd hint by Mr. Spring and Mr. Baker, lie was, 1 may say, su absorbed in the anticipation of en ruby, that it is scarcely possible to be conceived, ex cept by those who were present.

The devastations lately caused by the overflow of the rivers in t:ertitany, tuad.issrticularly the Gravel Duchy of !laden, the 11. ssian provinces on the Rhine, Bavaria, and tViirtctiburir, have compelled thousands of poor sufferers to appt al for relict, in their almost indestribable distress, to the charitable British nation. Through whole districts the waters have swept off every description of property, and all their little fltritaing, stock. At this period of the year, the ,severity of the weather, much more intense there than in England, adds to their misery, and a more pitiable ease was hardly ever laid before th at nation, whose benevolence has never hi therto been called upon in vain. By far the greater part of these unfortunate people have numerous fannlies, and arc at this moment in want of every necessary of life.

TIIEOBALD WOLFE TONE. A writer in the last number of the New Monthly Ma-. gozine, gives the following sketch of the lattcr days of this adventurous partisan :-- • " Ile accompanies! the French expedition to Ireland. The fleet was dispersed in a gale, and returned to Prance without dr cting its object. The vessel in which he sailed was among those that were driven into, and wind.hound for some days in Bantry Bay. Two pars after (in the autumn of MS) another armament, destined for the North of Ireland, sailed from Brest; and the principal part of it was captured by Admiral Warren's squadron off Lough- • lewdly. Tone, under the mistaken impression that his French commission would sate lien, refused to escape. He bore the name of Smith Tone, with the rank of tAef-de trigmle' in the French service; and fur some tisde paused unnoticed among the other prisoners. After they were landed, le'rel Cavan, the commanding ofF.cer in that part of Ireland, invited the prisoners of a certain rank to break fast. On the way Tone was recognised by, or, according to another account, had die impudence to make himself known to, an old acquaintance. that chanced to be on the spot. Lord Cryan was speedily apprised that Wolfe Tone was sitting et his table. The latter was accordingly made to pass into au adjoining room, where , his identity being ascertained, he was formally placed under close arrest on a charge of high treason, and sooti after put in irons. This laver indignity i.e appears to hare felt most acutely. Al luding to it upon his trial, he says, ' After a combat nobly sustained, and - which would lave inspired a sentiment of interest in a generous enemy, to the eternal shame el those who gave the order, I base been dragged hither in chains.' The friends of Lord Cavell asserted that this extreme se retity was provoked by Tone'a outrageous ekoortment, when lie found that he was nct to have the privileges of prisoner of vrar. It may have been so ; but the ordinary' character of the man 'cloney contradicts the supposition. He was sent 011 to Dublin on hera:back, and guaided by an escort of dragoons. A gentleman, the ii in Ireland, who saw him pass through one of the northern towns, remem bers two strong impressions which Tone's appearance made:—tie at, its extreme singularity from his foreign uni form, and still more from his incapacity (encumbered with irons as lie was) of sitting with tolerable ease In his saddle ; and, secondly, the admirable 'serenity of countenance with which be byre his fate. Among the groups of females that thronged the windows, his eye caught the features of a ' young lady whom he had not seen for many years. He in stantly recognised her, and carelessly observed, ' There is my old friend Miss Bermford, 1 see : how well she looks !' " Upon his arrival in Dt.blin lie was hr tight up for trial before a Court-martial, convicted, and sentenced to die it► cight•and-forty hours. His adtlretis to the Court—a dying declaration rather than a :tfettee--was manly aud elo quent. llis only concern was to die with dignity : the only favour he ask. d was to be indulged ` in a r•.ddier's priviloge, of being %het by a tile of grenadiers.' This btiog rzfusetl, he resolved to die by his own hand. _ _ "There is a tragic singularity of interest in what fol lowed. The only point that Tone had urged in the way of telly: e, was his commiseion in the French service ; and this the Court could not listen to. But it subsequently appeared that as far as Mat trial was concerned, he bad n valid legal defence, of which he hal been unaware. His execution was fixed for one o'clock on the 12th of November. Ott the evening of the 11th, his father, then in Dublin, was induced to tale the opinion of Counsel on the legality of his trial and conviction. The opinion given was, that the whole proceedings were illegal, for want of jurisdic tion in a Court-martial to try the offence ; and Mr. Tens (the father) was advised to prepare an affidavit of the circumstances, and to move the King's Bench, at the sit ting of the Court the following mornmg, to have the body of his son brought up by a writ of Habra, corpus. This was accordingly done ; but no intimation of the intended proceeding was itit.de to the prisoner. The Court a: once admitted the case to lie cue demanding its in stant interference ; and. while the writ was prepar - log, despatched the tilteritf to the barracks of Dublin to prevent the execution. The scene upon this occasion, as awfully dramatic as any of Sir Walter Scott's, it:detailed, but scantily, in !low.. Ws State Trials. The Sheriff speedily returned from the bartaskis, and announced that the Rothe rities there reload to obey the order of the Court. This was followed by an intimation, that the writ of flatcar Corpus, winch had been male out and served by the father, had tern equally disregarded. Such was the period. that the general impression now was that the prisoner would be led out to execution in defiance of the Court and the Law.° 'ilia apprehension was legible in the countenance of Lord Kilwarden, the Chief Justice ; a man who, in the worst of times, preserved a religious respect for the laws. A witness of the scene, describing its Oita upon him, observed, that ' his a_atation was magnificent: The notorious indiffl mice of some of -his contemporaries to legal observances, when blood was to be shed, suggested a phrase which would otherwise' savour of Irish exagzers tion. The Sheriff' was again despatched to the barracks. with directions to take the prisoner into his custody ; and further, to apprehend the Prevotimarshal and Major Sandy., who had so presumptuously disobeyed the former order cf the Court. The Sherif was refused admittance to the barracks. Ile was, however, given to understatat there (and this was the lino announcement of the fact that W'olfe Tone had the night before attempted his life, by cutting his throat with a penknife, and was in such a attention, that his removal would occasion instant death. It is by no means improbable that this latter circumstance may have operated fully as notch as the injunction of the Court of Kings Bench to prevent his execution. Hedied a few days after of his wound. The last words tee wiled of him are kis reply to the surgeon, who, upon t:amining 07.41 wound, observed that though dangerous, it might not prove fatal, the carotid artery baying earaped incision—' I ant sorry to fled that I have bevo so had an anatomist.' " In perusing these extracts from Wolfe Tone's bio graphy, some elnea a of our readers cannot tail to have been struck by the ardent terms in which his wife is one - dotted, and will be naturally desircos to know what became of her and her infant family after the catastrophe just nar rated. We have been enabled to subjoin a few particulars on this head. After the death of her husband, she settled in France, where a pension was assigned her by the Go vernment of that country. She resided in Frarce until the fall of Napoleon, greatly . regar.led and admired by all who knew her. Iler conversation was in a high degree animated and eloquent. She never men - mut-A at her destiny, but sustained it with that cheerful elevation of mind which springs from an early and unabated sympathy a ,:la important objects. Her tirmures of character may be col lected from a single instatice. The anecdote is also two honourable to a man whom it was once considered a na tional duty to dishonour, to be suppreved. A large arrear of leer pension, her oily means of support, being unpaid, and all her cflicial appeications and rentoestratices on the subject treated with to glect, she determined upon applying in persoa to the Knipe-leer for minas. With this view,she pre ceded al tie to the Forest of St. Germain, at au hour whet she knew that he was to ',ass through it. As soon as the Royal equipage appeatol, sl:e placed herself in the tridere ' of the read, an .l compelling the postilions to draw up, ad- VAllettt to the carriage sad told her story. Napoleon :to ' sooner discovered who she was, than he treated her with the most marked kindness and respect. He promised th-t his hoet erre, upon his etrived in Paris, should be to order the hist:nit payment of her arrears ; and he kept ifs worth lie further delayed for a considerable time, to be elinee minutely into the sitaation of herself and her family, and e lateen:el, that in -owe, whenever she hail any clijee: to attain for herself or then), she would not hesitate to ma's,: him aoprainted with her s. She was too self-denying and proud to use this privilege as otless would have do.it Thefew layettes that she afterwards solicited wore Ju l e atety granted.
