'the first objection made by Mr. VENA B LES, who appeared for Lord Devon and others, through whose land the proposed railway is to pass, was, that the title of the Bill was incorrect, being entered on the sth of February as the " Dartmouth, Brixham, and Exeter Railway," and on the 6th .fFebruary it was changed to the " Dartmouth, Bixham, Torbay, and Exeter Railway." The replication was that the title of the ptition was a!s) incor uct, as tly.: petitioners did not denominate the line in their petition by either of the above titles., and that therefore they c3ttld not be heard. _ _ The en.inuiam said that this point was never raised be fore, and he would see the Speaker respecting it. On his re turn he informed the petitioners that it WA3 the opinion of the Speaker that the Corumittee might proceed with the con sideration of the allegations against the line, arid they pro ceeded accordingly. _ A number of allegations - were then gone into of little moment, and the further consideration of the case was post pmed till twelve o'clock on Tuesday, to which time the Committee adjourned, it being a quarter past Sub-Committee No. 6.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Their Lordships met to-day at Five o'clock. REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from the southern division of the county of Devcn, praying that all duties on the importation of corn be totally and im mediately repealed. He would state that the petition emanated from a meeting called on behalf of protection, most numerothly and respectably attended, but which agreed to the present petition by a large majority. THE DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Lord KINNAIRD presented four petitions in favour of this railway. Messengers from the House of Commons brought up thelDirect London and Portsmouth, the London and York, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway Bills, which the House of Commons had pa.sa - ..d, and pray. ing their Lordships' concurrence. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Rath farnham, in the county of Dublin, against the 8.11 for protection to life in Ireland, at present before their Lord ships' House. The petition was couched in very strong language, and contained some very forcible epithets, but he believed there was nothing in it which prevented its acceptance by their Lordships. The Noble Lord was pro ceeding to point out objections to some of the clauses of the Bill as it now stood, when he was interrupted by a Noble Lord who suggested tkat it would be better to reserve his remarks till the third reading was moved. He accordingly gave way to the Earl of ST. GERMANS, who moved the third reading of the IRISH PACIFICATION BILL. Lord CAMPBELL wished to cull their .Lordships' attention to the 11th clause of this Bill, which he con ceived to be rather an anomalous one, and one which he hoped to tee corrected before it went down to the House of Commons. That clause in its present shape was a most arbitrary one, because it provided that if any spi rituous or malt liquors should be found to have been " sold or consumed " in any house or cabin, the parties therein assembled were liable to a charge of misde meanour without one word about " suspicious circum stances," so that if two or three persons assembled in a house upon a social occasion, and drank a glass of beer or- a glass of gin, they would b.: liable to a charge of misdemeanour upon no other grounds whatever; for the words were not accompanied by tle other qualifying words, " under suspicious circumstances." In the Bill there was a slight exception in favour of travellers. The eleventh clause was most striegent and highly dangerous in its effects. Suppose that in a village within a proscribed district parties wished to provide themselves with provisions ; groceries, perhaps, or other necessaries. Now, if the grocer happened to have spirituous liquors in his house, and tht.t he bevl persons at his table drinking, or that he presented his cus tomtrs with a glass of spirits, that person was liable by this clause to be transported. If a messenger went to the doctor's, and it should turn out, as no doubt it would in a country district, that the doctor kept an apothecary's shop, that, under the clause, would be a place of public resort, and the messenger would be liable to transportation. He hoped their Lordships would not send this clause down with the others. Then there was another clause equally objectionable. The Earl ST. GERMANS hoped his Noble and Learned Friend would take one clause at a time. Lord CAMPBELL—No doubt it would be far more convenient to do so. The Earl ST. GERMANS was sure that his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack had not shown any objection to consider the alterations suggested by his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Campbell). There were a class of houses commonly called shebeen houses, and the owners of which were not bound to receive tra vellers ; but rather than have any risks run, he had no objection to the proposed amendment. Lord CAMPBELL said that, in his opinion, the amendment of the Noble Earl would not answer the purpose, as it was very hard to say what houses, in some instances, were houses (f public resort ; for instance, it might be said that grocers and apothecaries' shops were places of public resort within the meaning of the Bill. The Marquis of WESTMEATH :aid, that any person acquainted with Ireland must know that a strong party was raised against tha selling of groceries and spirits in the same house in Ireland, and that it might be hard to know how to distinguish in such cases. TheILORD CHANCELLOR said, it might be hard to prove the ssle of spirits in a house, but it was easy to know when it n as notwithstanding. Earl DEVON said that the Noble Lerd opposite (Lord Campbell) seemed to have great sympathy for the class of persons likely to be affected by the Bill, but he wished to ask the Noble Lord if he entertained any sympathy for the unfortunate labourer and tenant, who were the marked objects of assassination ?—(Hear.) The Marquis of WESTMEATH would wish that the Noble Lord (Lord Campbell) would fancy himself in the mountains of Spain for fire minutes, surrounded by banditti, and calling out for the protection of the Habeas Corpus Act.—(Laughter.) He (the Marquis of Westmeath) was of opinion that be would require some other and better panacea for whole bones.—(Rene wed laughter.) The clause was then agreed to. The Bill was then read a third time and passu3. PROTECTION AGAINST RAILWAY COMPANIES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Mr. Hibble, of Greenlaw, near Paisley, Rent rewsbire, which contained allegations against, two railway companies, which, if true, struck at the privileges of that House in a material degree. The petition had rt ference to the Glasgow, Paisley, and Gretnock, and the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway . Companies, which had a joint line, and it was respecting this that the complaint was made. The petitioner said that when the measure was before Parliament the plats showed that it was the intention of the projectors to take the line through the lawn in front of his residence. At considerable expnse he came to London to oppose the pr‘ject, and it was eventually arranged that a protective clause should be introduced into the Bill in favour of the petitioner. He went horne under this ar rangement, but judge his surprise to notice that when the Bill was issued the protecting clause was struck out. It was in regard to this that the petition was now !pre ferred. A more gross and scandalous fraud on the Par liament And that House he (Load Brougham) neyer knew, and they were bound to make inquiries, and adopt such steps as would prevent such malpractices. Another charge was, that the parties had made use of totally different plans to those which they bad produced when the Bill was passed. The Bill was passed in 1837 ; but, however long ago it might be, if it could be proved that parties had been guilty of such a gross breach of faith, or such a gross deception on the Howe, it was the duty of their Lordshirs to inquire into it.. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of the Earl of DALIIOUSIE, this Bill was read a first time. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a . quarter to Four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Lord HENRY BENTINCK, who was introduced by the Earl of March and Major Beresibrd, took the oaths and his seat for North Nottinghamshire. The Noble Lord was cheered on his entrutce from the protectionist side of the House. SECOND READINGS.

WANT OF ACCOMMODATION ON THE LON DON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from a number of Noble Lords, complaining of the gross want of accommodation afforded to the public for the conveyance of coals and goods on the London and Birmingham Railway, and praying to be heard by counsel against all the extension lines proposed by that Company. The lion. Member gave notice that on a future day he should move that this petition be reft rred to every group which contained any project or scheme promoted or supported by the London and Birmingham Company. _ _ _ Tice SPEAKER interrupted the Hon. Member by saying that the petition must lie on the table. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. Colonel SIBTIIOII l' presented a petition from a Mr. Russell against this railway. BATH ,WATER-WORKS BILL. On the motion of Lord DUNCAN, this Bill was read a second time. WEIR DOCK AND RAILWAY. This Bill was oiderel to be read a second time on Monday. SOUTHWARK IMPROVEMENT BILL. This Bill was read a second time. DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY EX, TENSION. This Bill was read a second time. STAFFORD AND PETERBOROUGH UNION RAILWAY. Captain PECHELL moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr, MUNDY opposed the motion. The line was proposed to go from Stafford to Pete► borough, but it did not go within fif..y miles of Peterborouga, or within twelve miles of Stafford. It was a line that had been got up entirely for speculation at the time when the railway mania was at its height.—(Hear, hoar.) There was no necessity whatever for the line, and it was wholly unsupportt d even by those most likely to be le ne fited by it. He would, therefore, move that it be read that day tix months. Mr. GISBORNE expressed kis concurrence in the sentiments which had fallen from the Hon. Membor who had last addressed the House; in his opinion this railway would never be made, and if the House were divided he should not vote in favour of the Bill. Capt. PECHELL observed that he considered that this was not exactly the time for a discussion on the merits of the Bill, but he asked how was it possible those merits could be fairly tested except in a Com mittee of the House ? Mr. I'ACItE thought it would only be wasting the time of the House, and sanctioning the expenditure of a considerable sum of money to no good purpose, if the House were to pass the Bill. Mr. H. BERKELEY requested his Hon. Friend to withdraw the amendment, as it had not been usual during the present session to propose such an amendment. Mr. MUNDY—I certainly shall not withdraw my amendment. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the original motion 6O Againstit 40 Majority for _the motion —2o LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. Mr. S. O'Burcx and Mr. MASTER lAN presented peti tions in favour of this Bill. DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. W. ELIAS this Bill was read a second time. GUILDFORD AND CHICHESTER EXTENSION of Spain, with regard to matters relating to England and Spain. But the Noble Earl at the same time stated that it was not intended, either directly or indirectly, to prevent the slave trade. Now, he (Lord J. Russell) wished to know whether it was intended to admit the productions Gf Cuba ? Sir R. PEEL—Her Majesty's Government do not contemplate the introduction of sugar from Cuba into the ports of this country. FAMINE IN IRELAND• Mr. GEORGE P. SCROPE wished to know whether it was the intention of Government ite: undertake the immense responsibility of alleviating the present calamity in Ireland at an early day. It was absolutely neccsAtry that the wants of that country should be suppiled without . delay. But it seemed to him that the responsibility of relieving the people of Ireland during the present season of dis tress sbou d be undertaken by the local authorities. the Boards of Guardian, and the landlords of that coutry. He thought that the resporktb.lity had been nue isely thrown upon the Government, and iud(ed, he conceived the course to le pursued ought to 132 the same as that followed in England. Now, in England—(Murmurs and interruption)--.-he thought he must say a few words on this subject, fur he believed that a great responsibility had been thrown upon the Government a hich they ought not to bear; and he believed that some provision ought to be made to meet the coming scarcity in Ire land. There was no doubt but that distress was immi. nent on a great pottion •of the population of Ire land. Now, in England, the board of guardians had the power to gi.e relief out •of doors. Such, however, was not the case in Ireland. There the board of guardians could only afford relief to the poor by re• ceiving them in the workhouses. Ilere the ease was dif ferent. Relief might be a (ministered either in doors or out of doors—then the evil was increased by the fact that the workhouses were only cap 11 . 3 1 . e of receiving one per cent. of the pauper popul a tion of this country. lie was most anxious to make a speech upon the meter, but some provision ought to be made fcr the emergency that might arise, and he was desiroui that the RAILWAY. Mr. GISBORNE presented a petition from the land owners on the line against this project of the South Western Railway Company. EXTENSION OF 'IHI CARLISLE RAILWAY. Mr. WARD presented a petition against this line. NORTH KENT RAILWAY. Colonel LOWTHER presented a petition from the clergy, gentry, and magistrates of Canterbury, in favour (as we understood) of this railw a y. MALTA, Mr. HUME gave notice that OR Thurs lay, March 19, he should call the attention of the House to the late in terference by the Governor of Malta with the religious ceremonies of the inhabitants of that island ; and that he would move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, l raying tEat copies of the orders thereto be laid on tLe table. On the same day he should move 'or :or e :eturni respecting the post office STATE OF IRELAND. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that on the 26th March he should more that the House d.) rosolve i7self into Couunittee of the whole House, for the purpose of considering an address to her Majesty on the subject of the state of Irelurid. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. • It was then resolved that the House at its rising should adjourn until Monday nest. On the motion that the orders of the day should be read, Captain PECHELL observed, that there was a Bill before the House for the pay ment and enrolment of the Chelsea pensioners. Now he would wish that the Bill were postdoaed until a return of the Chelsea pensioners was made, and the number and names of the places where they were paid. Mr. CARDWELL objected tp such a course as most unreasonable. An lion. MEMBER. wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government at what period the sugar question would be brought under the attention of the Ilouse.—(Hear, hear.) Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was impossible for him to name a day when he would• bring forward that question. So far as commercial measures were con cerned, it certainly should have precedence. Ile would be most anxious that it should be brought under the no• tice of the House at the earliest period. He proposed that the reduced duties should not come into operation until the .sth of July next. THE BETTER PROTECTION OP LIFE (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to inquire from the Right Hon. Baronet whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to follow a certain precedent which had been established in 1773. In diet year the Coercion Bill was introduced into the House of Lords, and was brought down to the time of C et - mons, and be was authorised, he believed, by the majority of the Irish Members of the House to ask whether the precedent then este bli,hed could be followed out in this case. The precedent was this ; as soon as the Bill was brought down to the House of Commons, Lord North, then at the head of her Majesty's Government, moved that the Bill be printed, and appointed a day, after the printing of the Bill, for its firet read ing ; and as the present is a very important case, he was very anxious to know whether that prece dent would be followed in this instance. He wished to know when the Coercion Bill now before the House of Lords would be presented, and have a day fixed for its first reading. It was very desirable that the House should be pot into possession of copies of that Bi 1 before any discussion took place upon it. Sir R. PEEL said that there Wes a very material dif ference between the Bill to which the Hoe. and Learned Mem!) , r had referred, as baring passed in the time of Lord North, and that which was now befme the House of Lords. The firs'-mentioned Bill was a coercion Bill, but that which was now before the ir Lordships was a Bill for the better protection of life in Ireland. At the same time he must admit that precedent which the Noble and Learned Member referred was established in the year 1773. (Hear, hear.) Lord North moved when the Bill was brought to the Hous that it should be printed, and the first reading of it post poned. He (S r Rob;la Peel) was desirous that the pre sent Bill should b e p rocee d e d w i t h w i t hout delay, but still as the preced en t h a d b een esta b'i s h e d, he had no objec tions against moving that the Bill, when it reached that House, sho u ld b e pr i nte d , an d t h at a f u ture day be up panted for t a ki ng i t i nto consideration. CUBA SUGAR. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that, as a qwstion had already been asked about the sugar duties, he should wish to ask the Government another question. It had been stated by L n.l Abinger that the Earl of Aberdeen was about to make some proposition to the Government COMMONS' SUMMARY. The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock. Several Railway Bills were read a second time and ordered to be committed. LorO HENRY BENTINCK took the oaths and his seat for North Nottingham. Several Railway Bills were read a third time and passed.: The Grand Trunk, or Stafford and Peterborough Railway Bill was read a second time; after a division by a majority of 20. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice of his intention on Thurs* day, the 26th of March, to move that the House on that day; do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House for the purpose of considering the state of Ireland. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question 'from an Hon... Member, said it was impossible for him to say on what day he should bring forward the reductiGn of the sugar duties. It was his intention, however, to do so as soon as the corn importation measure was disposed of. . In answer to a question from Mr. O'CoNNErr., Sir IL PEEL said it was the intention of the Government, immediately upon the Irish Protection of Life and Property Bill coming into the House, to move that it be printed, and taken into con sideration on an early day. The South Sea Company Bill was read a third time and passed, and the motion of the CILLNCELLOn of the ExcuEquEn Sir J. GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill to afford temporary provision for parties affected with fever in Ireland. Mr.WAKLEr —That the best. course to stop the disease that was now raging in Ireland was to provide the people withfood. After some observations from Mr. Cor.qtrnotLN, Captain OSBORNE, Lord G. BENTINCE, Mr. Hums; Mr. O'CONNELL, Sir J. GRAHAM said that nothing had been lost sight of by the Government to alleviate, as far as possible, the distress and misery that was existing in Ireland. (LEFT SITTING ) CAPTAiN JOHNSTON, OF THE SHIP TORY. (Abridged from the John 0' Groat Journal.) Captain George Johnston is the son of a worthy man named William who lived in the parish of Dunnet, county of Caithness, and was for many years, and until his death, an elder in the church of Dunnet. He Was first married to Margaret Swanson, the mother of Captain Johnston, a respectable woman. She died soon after the birth of George. There were three brothers an four sisters of the family. The father again married the widow of a George Smith, at one time mate of a Thurso vessel. This woman, who is also mentioned as a decent, respectable inuividual, had a family of her own. A 3 the subject of this sketch grew up, he became quite unmanageable, offering every insult to her whom he ought to have obeyed and respected. He was conse quently put out to herd what is termed " The Town's Cattle." The custom:is, that the herd takes his food and bed in each house daily, in rotation. In this way he had a new master every day, and if any of them crossed him he had his revenge in came way or other. On his half yearly term of herding lacing over, he was again taken home and put to the parish school, where he continued for a short period. When there he was still the terror of his companions. He was taken from school and again put to herding. Having occasion to meet many neighbouring herds he used to beat them soundly, and many anecdotes are told of him, all proving his fighting propensities. Johmtun was for a while post-boy between Thurso and Mey, and in this capacity he manifested the same im petuous temper, and great daring. From this employ ment he betook himself to sea, and served his apprentice ship on board the " George Sinclair," of Wielc. Having disputed with the other appr, ilexes, he administered to each asevere drubbing, and forthwith left the vessel, with. out completing lis term of servitude. Johnston acted as fisherman one season at Wick—lie again went on board ship. It is reported of him that when sailing out of London, he had seen published, a challenge and bets on a celebrated prizefighter, whom he took up, and won the fight, by which he is said to have pocketed a little money. For a short period he resided in Edinburgh with a sister, who was married there, and at this time he put himself to school and studied navigation, &c. He afterwards went to Liverpool, and sailed out o f that port for a time as mate, and subsequently as captain. Capt. Johnston married, in Orkney, a cousin of his own, named Mary Johnston, whose father belin c ,ssed to Dun net. It is said of him that, when in good humour, he was kind to the men under him, and hospitable to his countrymen who visited Liverpool He was fond of show and pompJus appearance. When at Hong-Kong, it is reported of him that he emphiyed some of the natives there to carry him shoulder high, in all the pomp of an eastern monarch. Johnston is in his With year, but he -looks older. He has had several children, but only one daughter is alive. His father died ten or twelve years ago, but his step-mother is still alive and resides in Dunnet. He has a brother living in Castletown. His wife has been residing in London since his arrival from China. He is rather under the middle size, so far as height is concerned, but is stoutly built, and large boned. Sinclair, the carpenter on board the Tory, is a native of Wick, and a saber trust-worthy lad. He has bean about two years with Johnston. To his exertions, as much as to any other, are the owners in debted for the safe arrival of their ship and valuable cargo. The greater part of their crew were shipped at Hung-Kong, and are described by those wh o h a d an op portunity of knowing something of their several histo ries as the " sweepings of all nations.". NEW MODE OF PROPELLING STEAMERS. A great improvement in the mode of propelling of steam vessels has recently been introduced to the notice of the seientif c, and others engaged in steam navigation, by Mr. Peter B. McQuie, a merchant at Liverpool. The arrangements of their improvements are simply these:—Underneath the steam engine and within the vessel, a flit ciicular iron case is fixed horizontally below the water line, itdo which the sea water flows uninter ruptedly through a hole at the centre of the under side, by means of - a conduit or pipe extend ing towards the bow; and is, in fact, the bottom of the vessel perforated with apertures to admit the water fr. ely. The upper surface forms the floor of the fore-hold, raised a little higher than the keelson. From the periphery of the iron case a pipe convejs the water to each side of the vessel, where a •nezzle or beset pipe discharges the water ()abide of the vessel above the wear line. Inside the iron case a fan wheel is suspended by a vertical shaft passing through it, on which cranks are formed ; on these the piston rods of the cylinders act direct with their connect ing rods. By this arrangenieet the whole power of the steam-engine ie employed to re volve the fan wheel, which carrying round the water in the iron case, it presses by centrifugal force towards the periphery, from whence it is discharged by the nozzles. When the steam engine is put in motion the discharge of water from each of these nozzles is si multaneous, and the seamen on deck have the entire con trol of the vessel without interfering with the steam engine, which never requires to be stopped or reversed under any distress or sudden emergency ; in place of which the vessel is stopped or impelled back wards by pointing the nozzles downward, or towards the bow, which can he done in a few seconds by means of a chain and wheel (similar to a rudder wheel) on deck acting directly over the nozzles. When these nozzles are pointed in opposite directions, that is, to the bow and stern, the vessel turns round as on a pivot, and is rendered in this way inde pendent of her helm. Besides these advantages there are many others equally important ; in the first place a greater speed is attained with the same power than by the paddle-wheel or screw. Sail may be carried to any extent cernbined with or wast i ng the steam power, as. the hull is free. from all outward obstructions to impede her sailing prop: vies, and no action of wind or sea produces any reaction on the engine ; _therefore, no vibratory motion is communicated t a the vessel, and th e power of prcpulsion is very slightly diminished by the immersion of one or both nozzles in the water.,-New castle Guardian. THE LATE FALL OF THE BONDING WAREHOUSE AT LIVERPOOL.—On Monday, the adjou rne d i nques t on P eter Laney, who was killed by the falling of Mr. Tipping's warehouse, in Moor-street, on the 31st of January, was brought to a conclusion. In addition to the evidence, the profess;onal testimony of several surveyors, who had ex amined the ruins, was given. They were all of opinion that the accident resulted from hidden causes, - the principal, of Which was the rottenness 9f the ends of the beams in the eastern and western walls, which could not be perceived when the building stood, but which is now apparent. Evidence was given that the warehouse was not overloaded at the time of the accident ; and the jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death from unforeseen causes," accompanied with a suggestion that a surveyor should be appointed to snpect warehouses, especially old ones. CHATHAM SAVINGS' BANK.—At the thirtieth annual meeting of the managers of this institution, it appeared by the report, that notwithstanding the reduced rate of interest allowed to depositors, there had been deposited in the last year nearly 22,900/., made bv. 3.900 separate deposits; and that in the same period 23,000/. had been withdrawn from the bank in principal and interest. THE BEAN. (From the kverness Courier.) The late disease in the potato seems not only to have placed the agricultural, but the political, world in a quan dary; an►d politicians have been quite as much puzzled, and as unsuccessful, in finding a substitute for Sir Ro bert Peel, as we agriculturists have been in finding a substitute for the potato—and probably for the very same reason—natnely, that none of our indigenous plants seem to have scope enough in them to fill the place. Whether we may ultimately be more suc cessful than our friends the politicians, time will try ; for my part, I have not much hope of the event, from this very good reason, that although we have had a little back-sliding in the potato, caused by our own *stupidity, its life and character as a specks remains unimpaired. Indeed, we have. no single in stance, even in tradition, of a plant being lost to the world that was found to be worth the care and trouble of keeping. Then why should we despair of the potato ? My object, however, is not so much to recommend a substitute as an assistant ; fur it mast be confessed that potatoes of themselves, even of the znealiest kind, are but watery and weak when we come to dig ditches or trench land upon them ; and, besides, it seems almost an anomaly in nature that the life of a warm• blooded animal should depend upon a single plant. We have no instance of it in nature, except among the grubs and caterpillars ; and it is sickening to think that so many of our fellow creatures are reduced to such a condition. The great defect in the potato, a.; food for a hard. working man, is the undue proportion of carbonaceous, as compared with the ezotised matter it contains, which plainly points it out as an article of•diet that should never be eaten alone, when it can ha helped. This law is, indeed, very strictly kept by all who cm aff,:rd it. But what comes of the thousands of our fellow-creatures who have to begin and end their days on pota toes ?—it is worse than " making bricks without straw." This is a very serious consideration, and an evil not easily rernelied as society is at present constituted. For every one that is born with a knife and fork—even a steel fork—there are probably, three born without them ; end as cultivation increases, the proportion betwt en animal and farinaceous ftod will further decrease, as the vegetative life which can be produced from an acre of potatoes is so very great when compared with an acre of land under beef or mutton. The natural economy of things in infant states of society, where wild and tame animals bear a large proportion to arable cultivation, is to run into the ex treme of animal food ; while, in the advanced stages, in purely agricultural countries (where alone dense populations can subzilt), the opposite or starchy extreme is also as naturally adopted. That this state is already realised to a painful extent in a large section of Great Britain and Ireland is acknowledged on all hands ; but how to remedy the blander is not easy to perceive. The readiness and cheapness with which vegalble food, sufficient to keep the vital stark glimmering in its socket, can be raised, as compared with animal food, is so great, that we despair of the bulk of our fellow crea tures being ever again able to clutch the knife and fork. In this state of matters it behoves us all to cast about to see if there is nothing which can be substituted for flesh and blood in the manufacture of this very necessary in gredient in our food— this raw material of the thews and sinews of animal life. The great distinction between animal and vegetable food seems to be the relative proportions of carbon and nitrogen they respectively contain. The great bulk of vegetables are comparatively scanty in nitrogen, while some (as, for instance, the potato) is so destitute of this principle, that, even- when compqred with the dry car bon, it only amounts to about half a cent. ; while, on the other hand, some plants (as the leguminous, or bean trib: ) rival beef or mutton in the amount of azotised matter they contain. The natural inference to be draw n from this is so plain that it scarcely r, quires pointing out. In the potato we have a substance so deficient in the proper ingredients ' of the blood, that, of itself, it is barely enough to support human life ; while in the bean we have all the principal ingredients of the blood, almost in a stag of purity, but which, nevertheless, is not perfectly suited to the human constitution ; there is a want of that very ingredient which the potato contains in excess, namely, carbon, and without which the heat of the human frame could not be maintained. Now, se: ing that by the constitution of things we cannot all get meat to our potatoes, how would it do to mix these two sub stances, seemingly created to supply the wants of each other ? The process is simple, and the result certain ; as by doing so, we have at once an amalgam suited to all the wants of the human , constitution, and at an expense which need not deter any one who can afford to eat at all. But this will be more vividly seen by reference to the following table, made up from the mien recent, and believed to be - the most correct analysis of these substances. For the sake of simplicity, and en account of carbon and nitrogen being reckoned the principal in gredients necessary in building up animal structures, I omit the others : c"!arbon. Nitrogen. Produce of 1 acre, say 25 bnahel3 of beans. „ 1 acre, say 1321bs of beet 66 19 „ 1 acre, say 6 tons of po tatoes . . It will thus be seen that an acre of land in beans not only produces four times as much of these grand ingredients in the animal organism, carbon and nitrogen, as an ware under beef, but the relative proportions are so near to that of beef that they may safety be set down as errors in analysis or calculations. What waste, then, must it be to gather up cur nitrogen through the aid of sheep and cattle, while it can be so cheaply and handily done by a crop of beans? Again, in reference to' the above table, we see that the nitrogen in beans is something about the same ratio as in the flesh of animalq, and as we know from instinct and experience that flash requires something in the shape of carbon to saturate the excess of nitrogen, so as to make it agreeable and wholesome to the human constitution, we have another beautiful provision of the All .bountiful Preserver, in the beans—given us, no doubt, as " kitchen" for the rather watery and starch individual, the potato. The excess of nitrogen in the bean is pro bably something about what will make up for the want of nitrogen in the potato, after you deduct the share of the potatoes usually allotted to the pig, and take in the "drop" of butter-milk—that is, under these deductions and additions, an acre of beans should saturate an acre of potatoes, or vice versa. None of our physiologizts enter very minutely into the question as to the proper mixture of carbon and ni trogen in human food. Liebig, that prince of physiolo gists, in one instance states as follows:—"Fifteen pounds of flesh contain not more carbon than four pounds of starch; and while the savage, with one animal and an equal quantity of starch, could maintain life and health fur a certain number of days, he would be compelled, if confined to flesh, in order to procure the carbon necessary fur respiration, to consume five such animals," Liebig, in this paragraph, seems to infer that weight for weight in flesh and starch is the proper mixture. Now, this bears me out in a remarkable manner ; as, granting that flesh andt beans are almost identical in their two prin cipal elements (which no chemist doubts), the gross weight of an acre of beans, say of 25 bushels, is 103001h5., which exactly covers the starch, sugar, &c., in an acre of potatoes carrying six tons—(see Profes sor Johnston's tables.) We now come to another class of facts, which, on the present generation, strike harder and sink deeper, than the symbolic figures, atomic weights, and calphuric acid facts of the chemists. Who has ever rode a bean fed horse for any distance but has been cl.armed with his firmness under him, and ale life, spirit, and endurance on a journey ? Who but sans admired the springy step, the restlessnes and impa tience to get on, evinced in every muscle of his bedy ? this is always in contradistinction to a grass or potato i•ed horse, as a general rule--for, no doubt, there are horses as well as human beings that even beans will net put life in. Again, who has ever compared a piece of "dean-fcd with a piece of potato •fed bacon ? The one is .ike. cutting up a sponge filled with train oil, while ',he other is like slicing down lancewood or hickory. .L'he very butcher who " sticks" your pig will tell jou whether beans has been an ingredient in its good. Marshall, a writer on rural economy, mentions that the bean, where not fraudulently mixed (a very sio is fraud we should think) with baker's bread, is principally given to horses, pigs, and other domestic animals, in the midland counties of England, on account of the spirit and sleekne33 it imparts to them. In regard to pigs he states, that when fed on beans the meat be comes so hard that it makes but ordinary pork, but very good bacon. Now these are qualities which, although partaken of by the lower animals, few will be disposed to cavil at in man. In fact, these qualities sit very grace fully on every grade of animated nature, and we should like vastly to see a portion of them imparted to the peasantry of the sister kingdom—as certainly the appear ance of a ship-load of Irish reapers, newly landed on our shores, gives one an idea of anything but "de, kaess." The hardness also, in bean-fed pork, is the very think we went. It is the loose fibrous texture of potato-fed meat, whether in the horse, the pig, or the human being, that is undesirable. Natute gives certain animals sharper instincts than others, and wherever very special.citcumstances require th:se extraordinary instincts, they are really wanting. The pigeon is one of the swiftest and most enduring of winged animals, at least among the graminivcra, and pro bably no lining thing, bulk for bulk, expends so much force throughout the day. His flight, whether fur food or play, is always at the top of his " bent." There is no dallying in the case of the pigeon; he flies always as if fur a wager. Now, every one knows the great predilection pigeons have for ie leguminous or azotised crops, and the long and meteor-like flights they will take for this their favourite food. We recollect once in our youth sowing peas in the grey of a March morning, and before the first sheet v as emptied we heard a whistling in the air, and, on turning round, observed a fkek of blue pij,;eons doubling up their wings for their breakfast at the end of the ridge where we had started. How they got notice of the sowing is a mystery, but one thing is certain, there was not a pigeon-cote within twenty miles that could have supplied such a sample; neither I re coll.ct even havi.ig seen pigeons traversing that district of country, except at the time of sowity , the peas, or on the pea stubbles in autumn. At such time let the fariner go as early as he likes to his beau or pea field, the pigeons will be there before him. The use and cultivation of the bean is szid to have originated in Egypt. The higher classes of the Egyp tians had a prejudice against the plant, which affords pretty strong presumptive proof that they would give it to their servants and slaves ; and when we think of the canals, the aqueduct:, the sepulchres, and those most im mortal of mortal things, the parymids of ancient Egypt, it certainly does give one an extraordinary idea of the herculean influence of the bean. But it is not altogether from its nutritive qualities and the singular adaptation of its constituent principles for coalescing with those of the potato, so as to make one beauteous and harmonious whole, that I would so , • 3/1 strongly recommend its cultivation and use. This Pi is admirably adapted for small tennant and lotto ietuo tivation, and it is these that principally reed it• b e seed is, required at first, the fodder is equal to the i li a ryegrass hay, and the plant is of itself of ~,a pliable temperament, that yon may hand feed it i , o 4 April ti te fros ses in at te fal of the ear. bloom an ll d h nol to t the t last, and h thus l y secure an es.tra cr whereas with the oat, the barley, and other re i grasses, you are nearly precluded from this rewil%g care and watchfulness, as the head and car of be,/ grasses is formed before the stalk or leaves r each is inches above the ground, and no future ca re a s i c ,:e tivation will increase the number of " pickles" , ' ears. , But I know small tenants will say—Oh ! bec.ns"% t r not grow with us ; we never saw beans but ou the str•i o r lands of the "big farmers." This is ver y trite generally see the best beans on strong stiff soils' simple fact of beans always growirg best 00 th i ese d e ep soils, when well and often ploughed and hee' hic s shows us that it was not the stiffness of the soil ", - ila a j t a() congenial to the bean, but the ingredients whici', o . hr soils generally contain, the prit c'pal of whic h i . g- s lieved to be the alkalies. Those w ho live near tP e . ,,,, e ,f side have been carrying alkaline matter, in the shslify sea-ware, on their backs to their lands fur the lu' l igo e years, while at the same ti me th e y have lac e ll : . „;;re' ously cultivating th e p o t a t o , a pl a nt in i i ts th ;re clients, and consequently its food, notorious , Y t or verse of the bean. From these and other stances they are undoubtedly in a better sailing the bean than an y oilier class ; and as er that the " biz farmers," the manufacturers , a n chants, chants, and those who ar e " un d er Governmen' e c - thiC the beef and mutton from th em , it is themset v- ,60 especially require the bean. I would say to th' 2l l',; lu not talk about not liking bean b rose bean brc' su ' fc act 3 a single bannock you are probably swa llowinf" 55,-„ ti e real food as in a whole put-full of potatoes.
