' (Fr• m Villa (ratios, of April 4, 1846.) " The waters shall fun from the sea, and the brooks of defence shall be dried up."—Liaish. • When one e asts MO.'S eyes over the Isthmus of Suez. one is tempted to reproach nature, which has protracted the Red -a, between Asia and Africa for 500 leag,u. P. • ith a deficiency of force to c.•nduct 30 leagues further up to the Mediterranean. Why, one is prompted to in quire. do we permit an isthmus of barren sands tra versed by the camel, that monotous " ship of the desert," to the other than a maritime strait, pl• ughed like the Bosphorus or the Derdanelles by innumerable vessels with streams of a thousand colours? The undertaking of the Suez Canal is one of those performances in which the princip'e of association wil l have to perform the priseip a l part. It is at the sam e time one of tt o , e which promi ses future teen the greatest. enjoyments, and tends to aw a ken in the present the brightest aspirations. Th e intercommunication of the Red Sea and Mediterranean is a work of harmony and union of western and easter n c i v ilisation ; that is to P''ace ; for it tends to the int imate say, of the two great dtvieons of human existence. 'this, moreover, is no new tendency. From time im memorial the idea of a canal communication across the Isthmus has subsisted iii the wield. Never has man lost sight of. this crowning work—steadily, faithful to the conviction that it was destined for him at some future day to repair the prerneditat• d oversight of nature, and make a maritime wedding between the Red Sea and Mediterranean. The Pharoahs, those Titans of ancient times, who erected the gigantic pyramids—dug lakes of a doze n leagues in circuit, and converted granite mountains into monolithic temples, found, it is probable, the junction of the two seas a trivial opeiestinne---7.11-y- s eseali , d the reect of the junction or the rPoiiii-40. or eat4. , :t.:13 inane)) of- the 'Nile . by' eof the - Wady Tdinilat, ur vale of Geshen ; and by the Bitter Lakes, whidi were then contiguous to the Arabic Gulf. An ancient tradition records that Meneliiiis, ftor the siege of Troy, traversed the Isthmus of Suez in ord• r to visit Ethiopia. He rodotu, info! ms us that Darius completed the canal whi h led from the Pelusiac branch to the Bitter Lakes, and which had been commenced by the successors of Cambyses. When, at a later period, the satels had filled up or greatly obrructed, the Pelusiac branch, as well as a. por tion of the Bitter Lakes, it was foued necessary to dig or clear the canal of ;he Nile from the Wady Tomilat to one of the havigable branches of the river. This was the system of communication which existed in the times of Strabo and the Ptolemies. In the time of the Fatimite Caliphs, there was scarcely any other communication between Suez and Cairo but through the interior of Egypt, by means of' the Canal of r,ajan, which traversed the Wady Tomilat, and which thus united Cairo with the Bitter Lakes. This latter system was limited to the mere advantage of Egyptian commerce. A railroad from Cairo might be advanta geously substituted for it. It is sufficiently notorious that Napoleon, at the time of the French e xpi ditien to Egypt, devoted his ambitious mind to the great enterprise of cutting through the Isth mus. Accordinc to the project of the French engineers attached to that expedition, it was proposed to fill the Bitter Lakes with water from the Nile, taken at its height in Cairo, and conducted through the valley of Tomilat. It was also proposed to clear the ancient Canal of Suez to the Bitter Lakes (thirteen miles arid a half in length), and feed it with water from the R. d Sea. In conformity with this plan, the communication would have traversed Egypt and the Delta, as in the times of the Ptolemies. But the chief engineer, La Pere. who headed the commission of numerous anti distinguished engineers (including Fevre, St. Genie, Chabrol, Devil ' hers, Duchenoy. &c.), proposed to combine with this scheme the additional project of a canal proceeding due north frointhe northern extremity of the Bitter Lakes, and tertntrating on tt e Mediterranean at Tineh, near the ancient seaport city of Pelusium. For this purpose he took an elaborate and complete survey, recording in the most masterly tranher all the levels of his projected line, and the soundings required for the two seaports at either extremity, which is preserved among the official archives of the French Government. It may be briefly remarked ttlat this important appendix to the project would, if carried out as intended at the time of Napo leon's expedition, have effected a direct and permanent union between the Red Sea and Mediterranean. During his sojourn in Egypt, however` Napoleon did no more than revive an ineffaceable idea and aspiration immemorially handed down from age to t•ge. But it was the destiny of that great genius to contend with men rather than with nature, and it was not given to the last of the now happily extinct race of conquerors to con quer the obstacles which the Isthmus of Suez opposes, uniting the Mediterranean, where he first saw the hefts with the ocean which witness , d his dying moments. Peace has now reigned undisturbed for thirty years among the governing- powers of the world. Modern civilisation, which has been charged by some ascetic spirits with irreligious tendencies, wily be said at this moment to be accomplishing one of the most religious achievements. It is everywhere crest'ng new and humanising mede s of rapid communication by means of railways and canals. Innumerable steam-vessels plough all the seas of the globe. India and ('hina are open to Europeans, and Japan will, on the first occasion, yield to the resistless sway of the great civilising movement. Already'has the ancient route from India by the Red Sea been fully established, as f ar as c oncerns the transit of costly wares, letters, and passengers. The passage from Bombay to London has b een re d u ced to an average et 30 days ; and the desert f rom S ue z to Cairo, in default. of a railway', exhibits a tolerably goo.' road, regularly traver-ed by omnibuses, and accommodated with stations and hotels. All things seem, therefore, to prepare the way for the immediate solution of an i m po rta nt problem. namely, the viability (viabilit e ) of our globe. The undertak i ng of the canal of Suez wo u ld augme nt the value ofthese great European railways which terminate at Trieste. or abut on the Msditerranuan. The bankers and capitalists who have supported or constructed those railways, are vitally interested in a free communication between the two seas. That communicatthn constitutes in reality the in ispensable completion of the entire chain of European riti.ways. It will supply the last link and final rivet to the system. What system of communication should be adopted ? What is the best mode of execution and of maragement Afn r mature delibera,tien, our opinion is decided that the 'communication should be direct, and maritime. The medium by which the Red Sea and the Mediterranean should be united must be an artificial Bosphorus. It must be by art arm of the sea pr. jected across it, that the istionue must be pierced. Cr. ated by human agency, the Suez Bo phorus will have the manifest advantage over the Bosphee us of Constantinople, viz, that of being governable by locks. The Ittd Sea is thirty- two feet highees e as is well known, than the Mediterranean ; four locks would be amply ufficient for the difference of level. At the north and south extremities of this great mari time canal two seaports are indispensable'. The harbour of Suez must be deepened, and the roadsteads secured by breakwaters. At old Pelusiutu (Tineh), on the Me diterranean, a harbour should be constructed with jetties. Such is the principal work of communication. An idea of it may be readily formed by throwing a glance over any good topographical chart of the Isthmus. To this m-iin work, two ttecessor3, but equally reef s sary, undertakings rnu-t be added; one a canal of Nile waver, the other a railway from Cairo to Suez. 'The last, however, may be ciismessed in a few words. Though necessary. it may b transient, and it may be abandoned or surrend: red to the Pacha, as soon as it has accom plished its main purpose—namely, of facilitating the labours and accelerating the completion of the canal. Provisions, water, tools, and workmen mey be conveyed by it from Cairo to the scene of operations In thre e hours, and the rails, which are partially reude, may h. laid down in six months. The second accessory undertaking is a fresh water canal. This app• ars to the nuttier an indispensable sup plement to the maritimecanal. It will permit the plantation of the shores of this artificial Bosphorus, rendering them as picturesque as those of t he B e zentine Bos ph o rus. The starting point of the freshwater canal being above the barrage which the Pacha is now constructing, there will be en "ceiling water I.

COPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM COURTNEY, Esq. To Mr. THOMAS Paotrr, 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Heats, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of coy bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours 1 found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest Inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your tills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your l'ills. Make what use you please of iny report.—', ours truly aril respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.

THE USES OF LIQUID MANURE A few days since Mr. Moore, the secretary to the Me tr.politan Sewerage Manure Company, in compliance with the request of several influential agriculturists, de livered a lecture on the application and advantatf.rs of liquid manure, to a meeting of agriculturists, at the atitution, at Staines. The lecturer stated that the capabilities of the agri cultural interest were not at present more than half de veloped in accordance with the present state of science ; that in consequence of the deficiency of scientific know• ledge, and inattention on the part of the practical agri culturists of the kingdom, fully one-half of the raw ma terial available for the manufacture of food was lost, and that the annual present money value of that loss is equal to the annual profit on the foreign commercial and manufacturing. trade of the kingdom. As a practical farmer, who had during the last twenty-five years brought to bear on agriculture the science of the day, be was compelled to admit that during twenty years of that period he had been sustaining that pro portion of loss on the farm which he cultivated, and it was only by accident that he was convinced of his error. The loss referred to is sustained by the general neglect of the liquid manure made on the farm, and also by al lowing the solid manure to ferment and decompose to so great an extent before it is used that the principal part of the most valuable portion of it (being volatile) has been dissipated. The soil also, by improved cultivation, is capable of bearing a considerable increase of crop. He was glad to be able to admit that ninny of the farms in this neighbourhood were in a high state of cultivation in proportion to the depth to which they were cultivatted; but he was convinced that if land was improved to the depth of twelve 'or sixteen inches instead of six or eight inches, such land would not only be less susceptible of the vicissitudes of the weather, but would yield crops approaching to doable in amount; the roots of the plants could obtain fond at a greater depth, instead of being forced to contend with each other fur food near the our face in a limited sphere. But the first step in this im provement is that admirable system of thorough drain ing and sub-soil ploughing introduced by Mr. Smith. of Deanston, and which is absolutely ne cessary for all soils that are so adhesive as not to absorb all the rain water as it falls upon them. Some years back Sir J. Graham published an account of an experiment made by him on this principle; he let a field of very inferior land to a tenant at ss. per acre, who complained that it was not worth the rent, as scarcely any animal would eat the grass that grew upon it, which induced the land lord to take it into his own hand, and try the effect of Mr. Smith's method of improvement. It was accordingly thoroughly drained, and sub soil ploughed and annum(' for green crop, after which it was sown with a corn crop and grass seed; after the crop of corn was re moved, it being then under clover, it was valued and let to a tenant on a twenty-one years' lease, at a guinea per acre. If his memory was correct, it was stated that the proceeds of the green crop and corn crop covered the whole of the expense s incurred in the improvement. After the land had been treated as recom amended by Mr. Smith, it was necessary to give it "an increased quantity of manure. It might be asked, whence is the additional quantity of manure to be obtained ? In reply, he not only sua gespie!aexapri:tmi,teynied, htrt farmers the eoff art necessity nb ,u,itg t o a) b f l saving sooursho ol solicited the tetdo liquid trte m een a t n io u ,fn r e ample a to o; thee e n formedtwenty-five utmost for e m x i t the i et , supply ample purpose b f y t t e h i er of m transmittingwants. a n s steam eo thean im f so,fwt which i e eh m metropolis p e o n l a i s b l i e n ttehe,t,he Company country of ttoo dis tribute spewage e a E nd " r p e e it in the fields for the farmers at so low a price as it would cost them to cart it from their farm-yards and distribute it in the fields. It is intet.di-d to lay the main pipe along the main road through Ilatnmersmith, Brentford, and ilounalow, and branch mains on to Chen sey, Staines, and Colnbrook, from which service-pipes will be laid at about half-mile distances into the lands theh a house pur. pipe can be attached where the manure will be re q uired ; taps will he in the service-pipes at c h er ed tai b n y d . i t s h ta e c nce o s m , p to an a y n , y s men pose % f . o c h pose of distributing the liquid manure f ac ility and economy h in the respective fields as may be req uired. of this mode of tran smission and distribution enables the it s the Company to supp l y it on such low terms. Some persons have ima g ined that i solid part of this manu re that is the most valuable, but this idea is inconsistent with correct prin ciple and practical resalts. A reference to a very simple fact, with which we are all conversant, will sufficiently illustrate this principle ; we all know the great __ow do they profi ciency of the ladies in the ma kin g of tea — h proceed ? They pour water upon the solid vegetable that they put into the teapot ; in the course of a few minutes they pour out the exhilirating beverage as clear (but coloured) as the purest_ water. When they are sa tisfied in having thus exhausted all the virtue of the tea. s hut becomes of the RO:id matter ? We all know that it is thrown away as useless. Similar treatment is adopte , with the liquid manure of Edinburgh ; small cesspool are made along the main course, in which the soli matter is allowed to fall as deposit befote the liquid ' put over the land, and this solid deposit, when occe sionally cleared out, is disposed of as of very liti, value. One of the very great advantages in the applies , tion of liquid manure is, thatit is just in the vAty state ready to be taken up as food by the vegetable kingdom. as it is well known their no vegetal - •1, . I;ke up soli , ' manure before it is dissolved. The I,eti.ter - then re• ferred to several other advantages attendant upon the application of manure in a - liquid state.—Agricultural Advocate. I T a._ N 7 APRIL VICTORIES OF THE ENGLISH IN (Frow La Presse.) " A campaign of less than two months has conducted the British army to the gates of Lahore. Sir fi. liar Binge rules in the holy city. The cannons of Mombay and the Tower of London, and the enthu:ittsvc appliow• of the house of CommonA, have hailed the metwrable victory of Aliwal, the Waterloo t f me East IA es, t t Sir H. 11. loglis exclaim, who does not hesitAte to place Ge-neral,Sir Cough on a par with Nlarihn. , tl,ll and Nelson. This parade of pattegyrici sufficiently attests the importance attached by our ntighbuurs t , ) the new conquest ; it i 3 at the snor e time the highest glerification of the heroism displayed by the vanquihed. Five successive battles, fought with an unparalleled bold ness and obstinacy, have swallowed up the moiety of an army of 70,000 men, delnuately struggling fix the de fence of their territories ! But who can ees'st the fortune of England? The kingdom of Runjeet Singh will' so, in be added as a British provinee to defunct einpites . of Tippoo Saib, of Timour, of Serarljie; and of Iltilltar. The Seilths, like the Mahrattes and the Moguls, will only live, at some future period, in vs collection. Let us hasten, then, to rescue the name A this valiant nation before it is eff.sced from the map; let us render a last homage to this expiring nationality, which reflects, as it gradually expires, so glorious a lustre. Its history is worthy of mention ; it is distinguished by a special cha racter of independence in the midst of the uniform sub jection of the Asiatic tribes. Its history testifies how •ar the influence of institutions can reg,neraee mankind. It shows that a race like the Hinilees, winch seems eternally condemned to vegetate in slavery, may, if it is delivered from the brutal:zeig yoke of a barbarous reli gion, and from the petrity lug division of cables, recon stitute a progressive society, and live the life of nations." La Presse then gives a long and elaborate history of the Punjaub, which it is net at present our purpose to quote. nor is it necessary to do so, and resumes his re marks as follows " The pe sent Maharajah of the Seikhs. Dhoule p Singh, is a child of ten ee ars'Olake. The Seikli army, formidable by its foree and its discipline, Has the real power which ruled the Puiiiiub, and the English nave rendered this fact very clear by their fury in rnassecre inn. for a space of two hours, the fugitives in the river, and by exacting, after - the victory, the disbanding of the Seikh troops. It is not doubtful, if we judge from the decision and skilfulness of its movements, that the Seikh army was directed by European officers ; but the mire pidity of which they have given such proofs belongs to themselves. After the death ce old litinj et singe, the animosity of the inhabitants of the Punjaub broke out against the English in a thousand disorders. Thus, the recent Governments of belie have not ceased to tnein tam on the left bark of the Sutlej, at Loodianuh and at Ferozepore, of wi.ich they are masters, a corps o , observation for the surveillance of the Seikhs, acid to interfere immediately circionstawcss had attained the necessary degree of maturity. A bridge of boats pre pared by the English and various other significant mea sures having warned the Seikhs of the imminence of an invasion, th. y decided upon preventing it. Their army crossed. the Sutlej resolutely attacker! the English camp, and feught for three whole days the bloodiest and best disputed battle that the English have encountered since they set foot iu In,iia. It is this aggression which has served as a pretext for Sir Henry Ilardinge to justify the invasion of the Punjaub. England has not always such good reasons to give, and we must be satisfied with her—at all events for the care which she takes to have appearances in her favour. " We have shown the progress that these conquerors have made in fifteen years. It was in 1831 that Sir Alexander Burnes first unfurled the British fl eg on the Indus. On beholding it, a chief exclaimed—` It is all over with Snide now that the English know the river that leads thither.' He was right. The disasters of Affehanistati did not repel this devout lug ambition, they only rendered it more circumspect. "The conquest of the Punjaub is the most important event in India' history Fillet- the fell of the empire of Mysi.re; it is the complement of the gigantic work coin menced by Clive just a century ago, and followed up by Hastings, Wellesley. and their successors with such per severing skill. England, Mistress of the Ganges awl the Indus, reaches the natural limits of her empire from east to west. On the north, the Himalayas scarcely re- . - - wrain by their barrier of 8,000 mires this covetous ge , nius, always ready to overflow its boundaries. If however, the pelicy of Eegl:lnd be carried on in confor mity with wise principles, ,she will not go beyond; and this seems to be the gist of Sir Robert Peel's words in concluding his spetch to the House of Commons with the expression of a hope that henceforth peace will no more be disturbed in India; which, probably, means that England for some - time hence will not seek a quarrel with anybody. . • The extraordinary enthusiasm excited in London by the success of Sir 11. Hai (tinge testifies how well the advantages of his new conquest are comprehended inihis own country. It is not for vain glory that so re• fleeting a nation is moved to this de4ree ; and a simple apergu will suffice to render it apparent. " 4Vready in 1843 a solemn act incorp irated the Sinde territory with the Company's puss, scions, after the Emirs had been crushed in two tiloedy battles. Cer tsin grievances, of a futile character. served as the pre text for this war. Besides the 1110 of Ellenborough wanted a success to avenge the dcf. at in the defiles of Caubul, and to prepare for the invasion of the Punjaub, the only military read leading to Affghanistan. annexation of Sinde gave the English all the Lower Indus ; and the conquest of the Punjaub puts them in possession of the rest of the river. From Attuck, - at the foot of the mountains of Caubul, to the sea, the Indus is navigable for an extent of 500 leagues. " At present trade is carried on there by flat-bottomed boats of 50 tons ; in a little while the river will be ascended by steamers. scattering on both banks the pro duce of lilasgow, Birmingham, and Manchester, and re ceiving in exchange precious stuffs, the rich and wondrous works manufactured by the ingenious in h•tbitants of those districts. Tette. in. Sinde, supplies the adjoining countries with figured calicoes and nous lins, and clothes the Bayadervs in their scarfs, woven in gold.

From the earliest periOd of Christianity this day has been observed n% a solemn fast in raemory of' the cruci fixion of our Saviour. Its apps-llation Good is of no very r. mote origin, and 'appears to be peculiar to the English Church. Our Saxon forefather: , called it Long Friday, from the length of the offices and fastinffs on t his (lay; but its ancient title, and th•tt by which it is known in the Western Church, is Holy Friday. OLD AND PoPULAII COST(Ims. We are ant aware that in Hull, or the district nr rroi- derness, there aro any customs peculiar to Good Friday. it was formerly the custom of English monarchs on this day to hallow with great solemnity certain rings, the touching of which was believed to prevent cramp and fil ing sicknes , . This usage took its rise in the mys terious virtue of a ring which had been given by Ed v.Ard the Confessor to a poor person who had asked :alms of him, for the hi,e he tore to St. John the Evaty,:elist ; and which, having found its way to .hrum kiii, a rds' h t hay. " fin * 'St:- .Edward bv- some pilgrims returning from Palestine. It was kept for centuries in Westmi: - .ster Abbey with much venera tion ; the Sovereigns of England were thought to be able to impart itg virtue to ether rings, and there was a peculiar service for• their consecration. These were called "cramp-rings," and presented and received with an implicit faith in their sanatory power. Andrew Boorde, in his Breviary of Health, 4t0.. 1557. speaking of the cramp, observes :--•" The King's Majesty bath a great help in this ►natter in hallowing cramp rings, and so given without money or petition." Lord Bernitrs, the translator of Fr,\issart, when Ambassador to the Emporia. (Narks V., w,iting to Cardinal Wolsey, on " the 21st June., 1518," s "If your Grace re member me with some cramp-rings, we shall do a thing much looked for, and I trust to bestow them well with God's grace," &c. In Suff. , lk, the use of cramp rings is not entirely abandoned. Instanc€'s occur where nine young men of a parish each subset (be a crooked six pence to be moulded into a ring for young woman affl,cted with fits. In connexion with the cramp, and one of its supposed remedies, we will present our readers with the following cilium "f r on-'s toot when asleep,' in use in the Blue•coat school, when Coleridge was a little boy there, a , )(1 ever slice its foundatiAn in the reign of Edward VI. It runs thus : "Foo , ! foot! foot! is fast asleep! Thumb! thumb! thumb! in spittle we steep; Crosses three we make to ease us, Two for the thieves, and one for Christ Jesus." The same charm served fur a cramp in the leg, wit's :his substitution:— " The devil is tying a knot in my leg! Mark, Luke, and John, unloose it I beg! Crosses three," &c. " And really," says the poet just mentioned, " upon get ting out of bed, when the cramp most frequently occur red, pressing the sole of the foot upon the cold floor, and then repeating this charm with the acts configurative thereupon prescribed, I can safely affirm that Ido not remember an instance in which the cramp did not go away in a few seconds." Eggs and apples were anciently connected with Good Friday. A writer, in 1579, refers to the custom of " creeping to the cross with eggs and apples." One William Rath., in 1570, says. " that on this day the Roman Catholics offered unto Christ eggs and bacon, to be in favour till Easter-day was past." A French writer in 1679, observes, " that he has known people who pre serve all such eggs as are laid on Good Friday, which they think are good to extinguish fires in which they may be thrown." He adds, that some imagine that three loaves baked on the same day, and put into a heap of corn, will prevent its Ist ing devoured by rats, mice, weevils, or worms." In England but one sort of eatable "remains in association" with the day, na:nely hot cross buns. These are smal cakes, slightly sweetened and spiced, sometimes of s round shape, and sometimes long and tapering at both ends, but assay marked on the top with an indentation in the form of a cross. "In Lon don," says a writer before quoted, " as well us in altno-t every other considerable town in England, the first sound heard in the ioorning of Good Friday is the cry of • lint erns~ buns !' uttered by great numbers of pe.iple of an humble order, who pseudo the atreets with baskets con raining a plentiful stock of the article, wripped up in flannel and linen to keep it warm. The cry, which is rather musical. is sit icily— ' Hot cross buns — One a penny, buns—two a penny, buns. One a penny, two a penny—hot cross buns Hucksters of all kinds, and many pers&ns who attempt no traffic at any other time, enter into the business of supplying buns en Good Friday morning. They make a stir in the streets which lasts tillmibureli time, and it is resumed in the afternoon." Sixty years ago pastry•cooka vied with each ether for excellence in making het cress buns; and there were two b ikers' shops at Chelsea so eels brated for this manu facture, that crowds of customers thronged benea h the flat-roofed wooden portico or piazza which ex tended along the front •of each, during the whole of the day. Several hundreds of square black tins, each containing dozens of hot buns, were disposed of in every hour, from a little of er six in the morning till after the same period in the even ing. Cross buns reseintle, in some respects, the con secreted loaves, bestowed by the Western Church on those who, from any i mp,dirnent, cannot receive the Holy Eucharist. These are made from the dough from whence the Host itself is taken, marked with the cross, given by the priest to the people after mass, just previousiy to the departure of the congregation, an. are kissed before they are eaten. It is remarkable, that the loaves of the Greeks were signed with a cross from the earliest periods, and that such were off,red to the gods, under name which in the accusative case is boun. Two loaves with an impression of the cross, within which were four other lines, were found in Herculaneum. In the houses of some ignorant persons, a Good Friday bun is pre served " for luck ;" and sometimes there hangs from the ceiling a hard biscuit-like cake of open cross-work, baked on Good Friday, to remain there until displaced on the next Good Friday by a similar one. This is deemed a preservative against fire. A correspondent of the " Every Day Book" stated that on Good Friday, in the neighbourhood of West Derby, a custom prevails which is called " paste-egg ing." Parties of the juvenile peasantry disguise them selves in the most fantastic habiliments—such as clothes turned inside out, with masks, veils, Ste., and betake themselves (in number of about four to a dozen of both sexes) to the different farm- houses, and solicit contribu tions towards the " festivsl" of Eater Sunday. These gifts are generally eggs and oatmeal cakes. One of the party usually carries a basket for the eggs, another for the cakes, and a third is the bearer of a small box for .ecuniary contributions. They generally cheer their benefactors with some animated songs, and seldom fail to return homeward with a plentiful supply of their "paste-egg," and no trivial aid in money. With these materials a feast is got up on Easter Sunday evening at the village ale-house. In the midland districts of Ireland it is a common practice on Good Friday, with the lower orders, to pre vent their children, even those at the breast., from having any sustenance from twelve on the previous night to twelve on the night of Friday ; and it is common to see along the roads, between the different market towns, n fi ti ), r d e , r a s n o d f i w n o t m he e i n with their r worst t lir garments. ia dishevelled, this All b is in com memoration • memoration of Christ's passion. RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES. An old lalok, containing the cerem7nies observed by the English monarchs, direct,: the usher to lay a carpet on Good Friday, for the King " to creep to the cross upon;" and a proclamation of the 30th Henry VIII. enjoins on this day, " it shall be declared how creeping to the cross signitieth an humbling of yourself to Christ, before the cross, and the kissing of it a memory of our redemption, made upon the cross." The " setting up ' of the Easter sepulchres on Good Friday appears to have been a general practice in Eng land. In ads was placed the host with a crucifix, or the host alone, which was watched, according to the Sarum rite, from Good Friday till early in the morning of Easter day. Perhaps the most curious "sepulchre," of which we have an account was that at St. Mary 4ed cliffe's Church, Bristol, 1471. It is described as " well gilt with fine gold," end comprising amang its -deco rations "an image of God Almighty rising out of the same sepulchre, with all th , r ordinance that belongeth thereto—that is to say, a lathe made of timber and ironwork thereto. Item— Heaven made of timber and stain,- d cloths. Item—lL ll made of timber and iron work thereto, with devils the number of thirteen.

The Good Friday ceremonies we have described were neglected in the Church of England after the Reforma tion. As late, however, as the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the rcllowing charge occurs in the churchwarden's "Ac compts of the parish of St. Abingdon:—"Paid to the bcllman for meat, drink, and coals, watchng the sepulchre•, 19d." The anniversary of the erucifrxion is now observed in this country, in most places, by the suspension of all husinese, the closing of *hops, and a solemn service in the churches. many of which are hung' with black, and every ornatrent is removed from their altars. Some members of the English church abstain, on this sacred fast, from any kind of animal food, even from cream to tea ; such: we are informed by Boswell was the custom of Dr. Johnson, Divine service is well attended, and it is consi6red prOper to appear at church in " sad-coloured" clothes.

Yesterday morning it was very generally repotted that an accident, which had proved fatal to the lives of several individuals, had occurred at St. Mary's liuriak ground, hotter known as the Workhouse Cemetery,; situated in Cambridge -street. Thu facts of the ease do not warrant any such exaggeration, but we regret to say that •ono man has lost his life. It appears that two, men, inmates of the workhouse, named James Kay and John Platt, were engaged in forming a grave at the above cemetery. In consequence of the rain which fell en Sunday and Monday, the ground was in a very wet and slippery state, so much so, that the joists or beams for the purpose of supporting the earth on each side bad become loosened. One of the men named Jame& Kay, about 55 years of age, descended for the purpose of tightening them by means of screws ; he was repeatedly cautioned by his companion on the top to t,)ie care that they did not give way, Shortly afterwards, or about twenty minutes past nine, and while the trnfortunate man was on the ladder for the purpose of awending, the beams, stays, earth, &e., suddenly fell in, completely burying the poor fellow underneath, and exposing to view a quantity of coffins, bones, &c., on each side to the depth of several feet. John Platt very narrowly escaped the same fate, fortunately clinging to the top of a door placed at one of the sides. Means were instantly resorted to for the purpose of rescuing the unfortunate man ; butit was until half-past twelve o'clock that they succe ed ed in rea h e e hi h og ad him faile w n. he c n lin h a e in wag a s to fo th lifi e d la in l d t e h r e . w i n t e 1 ispos i t i on t e a a n d. inci T u h e e st b w od il y i b w e a sherled u grave iatendi was about twenty- o ne Upon e l d e it s t s o to-morrowtt h s e ayhe workho u se, ws ,r s h q e feet deep. almost ready for filling, and, when full, would have contained sixty bodies, the coffins beir.g placed. side by ride ! The unfortunate man who has thus prema turely been deprived of life was, we arse informed, a native of Tarbock, in Cheshire, and very Tiiet, harmlisas, and industrious. lie was well known to many con nected with the timber trade, having been employed fer a number of years as a carter in this town. lie had only . been an inmate of the workhouse for three months. having immediately previous been employed at the' t. Martin's Cemetery. the disgraceful manner in which the dead are, huddled together in this cemetery cabs loudly for some legislative interference, to prevent au ch improper practices being continued in large towns. The effluvium arising from the opened graves was quite a n noying. Surely it cannot be generally known th at sixty bodies are " cribbed, cabin'd, and confined" in ix ae grave, about 7 feet by 4, and some 24 'Tea deep, nee' s alinity creating disease, poisoning the atmosphere, a Lid sickening all who may go near.
