This Company has been formed for the purpose or carrying out and promoting certain Important undertakings within the Rebublh of New Granada, and has made arrangements for the purchase of some most valuable and extensive mineral districts in the provinces of Choco, Antioquia, and Barbacoas, containing gold, silver, plating, cinabar, and other products. The basis of the Company's operations is an agreement for the pur chase of a freehold property in the province of Choco, upwards of seventy miles in length, and varying in width from twenty to sixty miles, comprising au aroa of upwards of one and a half million of acres, upon whic. great number of surface mines aro stated to have been alre iscovered. The completi' this purchase is made dependent upo n the veri fication of the s laid before the Board, through the te.timony of approved ay. to be sent out on behalf of the Company, the vendor being • •d in the meantime to call for a payment of 5,0001., upon "ifactory security being lodged with the directors for its repaymen , 'in'case such reports should not be verified. The ba• lance of the purchase-money is to be paid in shares. A treaty is also in progress for a grant of equal importance In the province of Antioquia, full particulars of which are expected by the next mail. As soon as the report of the Company's agents shall have been received, it will be for the consideration of the Directors what mines shall be worked by this Company, and what porti.cns of the estate shall be granted to other parties. The territory of New Granada has long been known to abound in the precious metals, and an accumulation of recent testimony shows that it offers facilities for the conversion of its rich deposits superior to those which Mast either in California or in Australia. Santa Martha and Carthagena, the principal seaports, are within twenty-ilte days' sail of England; and the Directors will thus be enabled to reedyo. early and regular information; add to retain a *per' control oar the management of the Company's affairs, the *Vit of which is so severely felt in undertakings carried on in more distant regions. The gold deposits are stated to be much more regular and constant than in other gold fields, being found principally in rich veins of black sand and gravel. The Atrato, Magdalena, and other large rivers run through the whole tract of country in which the mines are situated, affording the advanta,re of water carriage —the most important stations being approachable by vessels of large burden. The projected Ship Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, through the territories of the Republic of New Granada, will greatly enhance the value of the surrounding property, besides securing the independence of that country by the combined support of all the great maritime powers. A convention for this purpose (commonly called the Bulwer treaty) was signed at Washington on 19th April, 1850, between Great Britain and the United States, and has since been ratified in London. A Concession has already been granted by the Government of New Granada for the construction of this canal on advantageous terms, and certain beneficial modifications are now under the consi deration of that Government. A careful survey and estimate of the expense of constructing the canal is in course of preparation, tinier the joint superintendence of the concessionnaires and the directors of this Company. To carry out a work so important to the interests cf the commer cial world, a new Company will be formed, and application will be made on its behalf for a charter of incorporation. The Directors of the New Granada Company, in consideration of the value of their co-operation, have made arrangements with the concessionnaires of the Canal for securing to their shareholders a moiety of all the ad vantages which may be derived from the concession, whether arising from the sale of that- concession, or from an optional pro rata participation by the individual shareholders of this Company in the shares of the Company which shall undertake the construction of the Canal. The promoters of this undertaking have consented to receive in full of all claims for their interest 6,000 paid-up shares, and one tenth of the net surplus profit Which may remain divisible in each year, after paying a dividend of ten per cent. to the shareholders. A working capital of 60,0001. is deemed sufficient for carrying on a very remunerative business, but in proportion as success attends the operations of the Company, and further working capital can be profitably employed, the shareholders for the time being will have the option of a pro rata allotment.

This Company having pure e fee-simple of eight sections, containing 653 acres of min • d and freehold land, at Scrath albyn, about 30 miles from A ,c, in South Australia, and within 39 miles of the Murray River, v ormed for the working of the valu able copper mines which have been opened out and partially worked there, but to render which extensively productive, more efficient ma chinery is required. Ten lodes have been proved, varying from 4,6, to 10 feet thick, at depths from 14 to 28 fathoms, and there is no reason to doust the Strathalbyn district is a continuation of the same favourable ground in which are the celebrated Burra Burnt and Kapunda Mines. The mineral riches of the South Australian district have never been surpassed in the history of mining enterprise, the Burra Burra Mine alone having produced in five years 734,1081. worth of copper • ore. The following is a copy of the report of Messrs. Johnson and Mat they : " The sample of copper ore from the Strathalbyn Mines, assayed for Messrs. Browne and Reed, contains 48 per cent. of pure copper.

The two months' sales and:profit to 20th Feb., 1852, are on the same scale ; besides the dividends, there has been paid out of the profits between 30,000/. and 40,000/. for engines, plant, &c. (including a new 80-inch engine lately, at a cost of about 4.0000, the balance of undivided profits carried to the next account is 2,0527. There are large reserves of ore, and the mine never looked better. The last five years' profit was 76,0327., or on the average 15,3867. per annum, or 2/. Bs. per share. The dividends are payable three times a year, and may be received in London. The next will be due in July. Only one share (1-128) has been sold since November, 1840, and no share would now be offered but that the decease of a proprietor requires the discharge of mortgage ill cumbrances on real .property ; a part of his interest is, in conse quence, to le disposed of, but the executor will Ftill retain a very large majority. A limited number of shares is therefore offered at a price to pay the purchaser, on the average of the last five years, about 18 per cent. per annum. Applications to be made to Mr. George Thomas, a t Winchester house, Old Broad-street, whe r e the last report can be seen , and from whom parties desiring to invest can obtain orders for the ins p ection of the Mine by their owu agents.

They can be had at all prices. Clark's Diamond Lamps are the best in the world for general use. Clark's Vertical Lamp excels and entirely super sedes the French Moderator Lamps. Clark's Pearl Candle Lamp surpasses all other Candle Lamps. All are invited to this unrivalled display. The lamps generally sold are extremely imperfect, and thereby a great public wrong exists. What is more gloomy than a bad light, and what more joyous than a good one ? ro ensure the only good Lamps, the public must purchase Clark's Lamps, and have none other. The unrivalled assortment is always on show at the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light Company, 447, Strand, and 1, Adelaide-street, West Strand. RICH &RD CLARK, Resident Manager.

Sir,—When Mr. Morison proclaimed that health depends upon the Purity of the blood, and that alone, he as it were emancipated the world from medical thrallom,and rendered the whole arcana of health and disease clear to the meanest capacity. From this one simple axiom has followed all the light which the new reformers in me dicine have derived. In this really consisted the great merit of the Hygeist. Most extensive experience, however, has proved that the medicine which he used (commonly known as Morison's Pills) was capable of purifying the blood ; in other words, of removing all ob struction to a perfect circulation, the result of which is restoration to health. EALTII DEPENDS UPON THE PURITY OF THE BLOOD Sir,—Upon this point everything turns, If health dos depend on the purity of the blood, there can be no doubt that the human body should, like a tree, be treated as a whole, and not piecemeal, like a riece of patchwork : therefore James Morison, the Hygeist, consi dered as the originator of this great principle is, I think, entitled to the monument which is ix contemplation. I remain, Slr, yours, A HYGEIST. • The immortal Harvey proclaimed, he circulation of the blood— James Morison, the Hygeist, proclaimed that health depends upon the purity of the blond ! Stfch are the merits of the parties. London, March 5, 1852. MEETING AT LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S.

WooLwicu 111,tasuw, MARCH 10.—The practice yesterday with this new arm was carried on from a rifle rest at 600 yards fur some time, end afterwards the whole of the non-commissioned officers advanced to within 250 yards of the target and commenced firing as if they had been a skirmishing party and continued firing until they had retired 800 yards from the target. The number of rounds fired during the day was three from the rest by each non commis • sinned officer, and ten by each when firing as a re tiring party, and the practice was excellent, a great number of the balls entering the target even at the long range of 800 yarde. The non-commissioned officers assembled again iu the marshes to-day, and the practice was carried on by file firing, first, at 200 yards range ; second,at 400 yards ; third at 600 yards, and last at 800 yards, each non-commissioned officer firing five rounds at each of the above ranges, or twenty rounds by each man to day. Several distinguished officers having expressed their intention of being present to witness the practice with the Minis rifle to-day, two 12• pounder howitzers from each of the three troops of Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Bell, and a 9-pounder field battery, consisting of three 9-pounder guns and one 24 pounder howitzer, arrived in the marshes at one o'clock, P.M., under the command of Colonel Ander son. The distinguished officers expected from town did not arrive, but there were present—Lieutenant- General Sir T. Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., commandant of the garrison; Lieutenant-General Sir H ew D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of Artillery ; Colonel Blanshard, C. 8., commandant of the Royal Engineers ; • Colonel Chalmer, Assista n t Di rec t or - General of Artillery ; Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H., Royal Horse Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Palliser, Lieutenant-Colonel Thorndike, Brigade Major Bring ham; Captain Riddell, Deputy Assistant Quarter master-General to the Royal Artillery; Brigade Major Walpole, Royal Engineers; Lieutenant- Colonel Alves, and a number of officers on the full and halfpay lists of her Majesty's land forces—there being upwards of one hundred officers present be longing to the various branches of the service, who all appeared greatly interested in witness ing the practice. At the conclusion of the firing of the Minierifle at 800 yards range, the six 12 -pounders of the troops of the Royal Horse Artillery were brought forward to a station at 850 yards range, and live spherical live shells fired from each of these howitzers. The practice was very good at that long range, and showed how destructive the Royal Horse Artillery could be with that description of arm which can be brought into the field with great rapidity with only four horses, and moved and fired by the gunner with equal facility as their light 6-pounders. The 9- pounder field battery was drawn up at 1,000 yards range, and fired spherical shells at that distance. The Royal Horse Artillery subsequently advanced, and took up a position at 300 yards distance from the tar get, and, five rounds were fired from each howitzer at that range with case-shot, which spread considerably with destructive effect. The 9 pounder field battery was brought forward to within 350 yards of the target, and fired a number of rounds of case sh of also with destructive effect. When the firing was discon tinued, shortly after four o'clock, Major Brownrigg, of the Grenadier Guards, instructed detachments of the Royal Artillery in making signals, or telegraphing intelligence to each other by a plain and simple mode always at hand to operate with. Twelve gunners, six carrying their chacos on the muzzles of their cars bines, and six carrying their great coats in the same way, were brought forward to a station at 750 yards from the mound. Three of the gunners their chacos on the top of their carabines, and three their great coati, were then marched to the mound and then took up a position upon the top of it, the three carrying their chacos in front, and the three carrying their great coats in the rear, each man se p ara ti ng about two steps from each other. The other six occupied similar positions at the distance of 750 yeards from the party on the mound. The telegraphic communica tions commenced by the three front rank gunners on the mound raising their carabines, surmounted by their chacos, at arm's length above their head, which was ex plained by Major Brownrigg, and responded to by the other three eimilarlyappointed raising their carabines, surmounted by their chacof, over their heads. A similar movement was made by the three gunners in the rear on the mound, with their great coat?. The chacos and great coats were subsequently raised two at a time, and one at a time, from right to left, evi dently forming a very comprehensive al2babet or understood signals of intelligence. The one party was then brought 100 yards nearer the other, where they went through a similar course of operations, and both parties soon comprehended the object in view, and responded to each other with great rapidity. It is supposed the experiments to-day will conclude the practice with the Minis rifle for the present at Wool wich, the firing of the non-commissioned officers to day, without reste, at 200, 400, 600, and 800 yards ranges, being all that could be wished, and a proof that they have acquired, under the instruction of Major Brownrigg, a though knowledge of the use of the new arm. NAVAL INTJELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANEAN. We have correspondence from Malta to the 2d inst. of some importance. It is already kno/n that the Indefa tigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.I-1., and the Encounter, 14, screw -corvette, Captain Gordon, had been ordered to Lisbon, and that the Phaeton, 50, Captain a Elliot, had been sent to Corfu to relieve the Indefatigable. The Encounter arrived at Malta February 27, from Tenedos, and was ordered to leave on the 9th inst. for England, not Lisbon, and it was reported at Malta that the Phae ton would likewise follow the Indefatigable to Lisbon. It was stated that Sir William Parker had received orders from the late Board of Admiralty to detach a couple of line-cf-battle ships from his fleet to Gibraltar and Lisbon, and that the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell, had been visaed to proceed immediately to Gibraltar, and the Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone, to Lisbon. It was also reported that the heaviest steam-frigate in the Mediterranean, the Terrible, would accompany tho Vengeance. Banshee, steam-packet, Lieut. Commander Hosken, arrived at Malta from Marseilles with the Overland India Mail, and brought the dispatches for Sir W. Parker under which he bas distributed his force.

Mr. Justice Torrens has been obliged to come to Dub lin from circuit, owing to severe illness. The venerable Judge presided at the Queen's County Assizes on Mon day, when be was but badly able to get through the business. His Lordship passed sentence of death, to be commuted to transportation for life, on Mr. Matthew Colgan, convicted of .administering poison to his wife, with intent to murder her. The poor woman died from the effects 131 it; but some doubts were raised on the trial as to whether he actually designed to destroy her life. John Fahey, who had been convicted of the murder of Judith JUDonnell,, was then placed at the bar, and after a feeling address his Lordship'ordered sentence of death to be recorded against him, to be commuted to transpor tation for life. THE MUNSTER EXHIBITION. Yesterday there was a meeting at the Mansion-house, convened by the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of pro moting the success of the proposed Munster Exhibition. Sir R. Kane, Mr. J. C. Deane, Mr. L. Foot, and other. gentlemen, addressed the meeting: It appears from the observations of the speakers, that the great majority of the Irish exhibitors in the Crystal Palace have agreed to send equally attractive articles to Cork on this occasion, and that other manufacturers and producers of farming stock, stimulated by the eicample and success of the " Great Exhibition," have promised to contribute. CONVICTION OF A MONK FOR BIBLE-DURNING. Brother John Bridgman, a monk of the order of St. Francis, was tried and convicted of a riot, at the Mayo assizes, on Saturday last, before Baron Lsfroy. In fact, the .offence of the monk was for scandalously barnieg Bible, and thereby creating a riot. The local paper thus gives the charge:— " John Syngian Bridgman, otherwise Jobn St. John, otherwise Brother Jehn, stood indicted for that he, not having the fear of God before his eyes, but contriving and intending to scandalise and vilify the true Protestant religion, as by law established within these realms, and to blaspheme the Holy Gospel of God an our Lord and Saviour Jesas Christ, did, on the-23d day of November, in the.fifteenth of the glen, at the parish ot I 'eves, unlavefully, wickedly, and blasphemously, i i • nee of divers liege subj, cts of our Queen, se sud • :PardY consuEne_hy. tiro _a copy ot, .the Huly -eta God, being the auth•Jised version thereof appo'3 o o4 tri be read in churches, . called the New Ttkvareect; and then and there, holding in his hand 3 said w Tes tament, wickedly and blasphemously, in the presence and hearing of divers liege subjects, then and there pro unlaced and spoke with a loud voice, and published of and concerning said Now Teatatnent, as aforesaid, these profane rind nicht blasphemous words—that is to say, that It' (meaning the New Testament) is not the Word of Gad, but the word of the Devil—and the De vil's Book—Luther's Bible—or your heretic Bible,' to the great dishonour of Almighty God, and in contempt of the Protestant religion, and to the ro at scan dal of the pr o f ess i on thereof, and against the peace," So. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Keogh, M.P. It will be seen by tho subjoined note of Baron Lofroy's charge, that this venerable judge took a merciful view of the charge against the prisoner, indeed, it may almost be said ho was his boat counsel:— The Learned JUDGE charged the jury. He said—l am anxious that this case should be confined within the limits required by the law, and shall state to you what that law is. It is for you to say whether those charges have been proved or not, and whether you are satisfied that he said be was not burning the Word of God but the word of the Devil, and whether the words were applied to the authorised version of the Holy Scriptures, and whether the burning of that book is consistent with the reverence duo to that ver sion of the Scriptures authorised by the law of the land. ,In this case be is indicted for burning the authorised version, but the offence is equally appli cable to any other version of the Scriptures, whether it be the Douay Bible or the Rhenish Testament, and the words used would be blasphemous against either version, as showing a want of reverence for the Scrip tures, because it is not the version of the Scriptures which will warrant the commission of such an offence. It is not because fallible men cannot agree upon a trans lation of a portion of the Scriptures that they are to be treated with this want of reverence—that because it is not a particular translation it shall be treated with such villification. Is it to be held that when the law of the land sanctions a certain version, and calls it the autho rised version, it is to be said that any man, be his opi nions what they may, shall pour contempt on it, and thus be guilty of a violation of the law? Is he to be at li berty to throw that book into the fire, and say that he shall vilify that book which the law has sanctioned? It has been said to you that this act must be done with in tent,et and on that the law is clear—every man is presumed to a to understand the consequences of his own acts. man can throw a book into the fire, whetherit be a Douay Bible or the authorised version. and if you be 'lieve that he did not intend any contempt, then you should acquit him; but if you believe that he d:d burn the book, and made use of the language, it will be your duty to find him guilty. The jury retired, and after about half-an-hour's deliberation returned a verdict of Guilty. In our naval intelligence yesterday we stated that her Majesty's steam-ship Dauntless lett Cork at one P.M. on Thursday, and arrived at Plymouth at half-past eight p.m. on Sunday, making the passage in about 80 hours. The Cork steam ship Company's steam-vessel Adler, Captain Tooker, lett Cork one hour after the Dauntless, passed her outside, and arrived at Plymouth at five PH. on Friday, making the passage in 27 hours. It appears that there is a positive order from the Admiralty that her Majesty's steamers shall use their steam power only on emergencies. There being no wind when the Dauntless left Queenstown, she steamed out of harbour, sailed across to within a few miles of Ply mouth, and then got up steam and went into Plymouth. SIR E.

But who the men are with whom your Lordship can and will act, none but yourself canknow. Olt course you will be prepared to-morrow to explain to the gen tlemen who assemble at your summons who your coed.. jutors are. It does not indeed appear that this will be an easy matter. For example, there is Lord Palmerston: even if a re conciliation b e t ween you an d hi m w ere probable or pos sible, he has so damsged himself with the country (I) that his alliance m i g h t do you more harm than good. Again, Lord Grey, rine of the ablest of yOur ex-colleagues, has so conducted himself in the Colonial-office, that many who admire his talents and have confidence in his prin ciples (!), would be most reluctant to see him there again. Aso oven these who would hen no spi‘o ion. so Earl Grey himself, demur to his gicreigliglosek Sir Charles Wood in his train. It is rather an awksesrd look-for ward for your Lordship, that, in seeking to re-construct a Government, you must b egin by shaking off some o f your already too few allies. Then with respect to the forming of nem connexions, some unfortunate peculiarities of temper displayed by your Lordship while in office, inspi re fetes of your suc cess in any such attempt. The manner in which you received the proposal of some of your loading consti tuents to associate Sir Robert Peel with you in the re presentation of the City has not been forgotten. The extent to which y ou allowed personal piques to influ ence you even in appointments to the bench is also awkwardly remembered. An irapresion has gone abroad that you are d e fi c i ent in that mag nanimity which is indispensable in the man who aspires Is collect around him a strong body of competent colleagues in office. These, however, as I have already said, are matters in which few, if any, can presum e to advise your Lordship. All that a disinterested third party eau do is to direct your attention to the difficulties that beset you, owing to the relations in which you actually stand to old allies, and your constitutional aversion to form new con nexions. With respect to the means by which the lost confidence of the ant liberal party is to b e regained, I have a better warr to .speak. Conversin g , e n se es e nd confidential know termsing what' men it ow all s, parties , I h ave opportun ities of and k .01.? it regards you. By the liberal party, of course, I mean the liberal section of public opinion. Under this designation I embrace the whole party of progress' from the admirers of the late Sir Robert Peel to the follovrers (if any survive) of Bentham. With many diversities of opinion and temper, this great body is unanimous on certain points. It is friendly to the diffusion of sound secular education; it is friendly to a liberal commercial policy; it is friendly to a pacific note-interventio n ~ I; r ° "o9; it is friendly to a revi sion of taxation, and to a revised appropriation of the national revenue; it is eager for law reform; it is hostile to undo centralisation of those functions of local govern ment which are best devolved upon local elective bodies.

In class 2at the Exhibition he f oun d an article which, though not an agricultural product, had a close connexion to agriculture: he referred to an ex traction of potash from sea water. Potash te „, salt peculiarly essential . t . o vegetable life,.and to the agricul turist this new source of supply was most important. It might be found on•investigation that our brine springs cpntained • sufficient: potash to' pay' for its extraction; but at pieeeni the shores of :the Mediterranean were the principle ..seat.. of the manufacture. It wan to an enlightened Renck- chemist• that the a ge t.. cultural- - world was indebted for this invention. In class •3 :• the — hyßid *heats were deserving of apenica attentiera.• t • The advantage of _crossing._ , wheatst had been already pointed put to the society, and they had been told that the process had not yet been carried out to any great extent. Great credit was due not only to .the botanist who had stated the theory, but to the farmer who had demonstrated the practicability of the process in the field: The question was being agitated amongst agriculturists whether Or not the manufacture of beet-root sugar could be car ried on beneficially in this country. The history of the - cultivation of " beet-root showed how readily science lent her aid in the various exigencies which from time to time arose. From the necessity of replacing an article proscribed by Napoleon had arisen what was now admitted on all hands to be a beneficial branch of industry. In a specimen at the Eihibition, which came from Valenciennes, every particle of the root was con verted into a mercantile commodity, by which the coat of Manufacture _was considerably reduced. How far the cultivation could be introduced into this country remained to be seen. Statistics might encourage atten-' tion to it. In Belgium in 1848 and 1849, the make of beet-root sugar was 4,300 tons; in 1850, 7,000 tons; in the past year, 14,000 tons. In the Zollverein, in 1848, the quantity made was 26.000 tons, end in 1851 it increased to 40,000 tons, the con sumpt i on of cane sugar diminishing i n near l y the same ratio. In Russia, about 85,000 tons were consumed annually, of which 35,000 were made from beet -root, and the manufacture was rapidly increasing. Austria consumed about 40,000 tons in 1848, of which 30,00 0 were made from beet root. The quantity of beet -root sugar, in 1850, was rather more than doubled. In France, according to the Moniteur Industriel, the manufacture in 1850 reached 60,000 tons, half the whole consumption; and on the Ist of December, 1861, the same paper stated that there were 322 manufactories in fall operation, which showed an increase of 23 on the number in the preceding year. These facts claimed the attention of agriculturists in this country; and it appeared to him that if they' established a cross between the heavy crop mangel- - wursel and the rich Silesian beet they would have all the elements of success. This led him to another pro- , cess—the preservation of vegetables. This process,: which it was most desirable to carry out in this country, consisted of two parts—the evaporation of the con stituent water, and, afterwards, compression, for the purpose ,of reducing 'the pulp to a state of: security against contact with the tames- • phere. The result was, that vegetables re mained uninjured for a considerable time. In class 4, a coutrail medal wasgiven to M. Gros for a particular de scription of wool. The peculiar quality of the wool was : the first result obtained . by the Exhibition. He subse quently turned his attention to the increase of the fieece and also of the meat, and other points in the animal. This was some six or eight years ago. The improve ments were now most satisfactory. In this country, ;where the consumption of mutton and of wool was so 'enormous, the relative value of the two had excited great attention amongst farmers At present the relative prices of the two articles were about equal ; hut circum- - stances connected with our wool-producing colonies 'render it probable that the supply, from them would not be so great as it had been, and in that case the farmer might find that he had been raanufacturtng.the wrong Teis censideratiou wight requ , riN modifies- tion of present uractic,. Again, l'lcs3rs. Brotherton ex hibited specimens of rapeseed oil, which they had p:e ply ed in large quar.titica annually for the lubrication of machinery. Tads oil was particula:ly adapted for locomo tive engines on account of .he ::;acute 01 lorcign ingre- • dients; and the inet that the North-Western I:9ilway Company alone consumed more than 40,000 gallons of oil annually, and wore offoring encouraging prices, might well secure the attention,of agriculturists to tho subject. Ho now camel° class 9 for agricultural implements. The first implement which he should notice was the reaping machine, which had excited so much interest in the teaming community. In _ this class there were two specitnens,two American and one English, though the latter was identical with one of tho otheri. Now, on this subject he was about to offer evidence against the award made to an American, and fur that purpose he must sketch the history of these machines. At the commencement of the present century he found a ma chine introduced •by Mr. Boyce, in which a short scythe, like knives, attached to a revolving contrivance; was thb principle by which the cutting was effected. After mentioning three or four succeeding inventions —.- - of the same character down to 1811, the lecturer proceeded to speak of an improved reaping machine invented by the late Mr. Smith, of Deanston, for which, after a saccessful trial, the Dalkeith Club awarded a premium to tho inventor. From that period, he seid, down to 1835, this machine was tested occasionally at different harvests, and received improvements. He himself saw it at work, cutting an acro and a quarter of h corn per hour. As to Mr. lit i Cormick's machine, a • de iporrtaeanptinignvention of all machines, he re- scription of it would be found in the MicLanies Maga zine in 1825.

Tbis question has a very wide bearing as regards those e improvedia uringclasses w h om t h e i nvent i on of w machinery mew di s l o d ge f- om char new andof the former occupations. How the work ng classes are to obtain the full benefits and advantages of the " labour saving" process, is a problem which we have not yet seen satisfactorily solved, but it is one that will press for solution with increasing urgency from day to day. One would naturally infer that the improvement of ma chinery, by which the drudgery and hard work of the world is performed, should give greater leisure, greater comforts, land improved facilities for culture of the higher powers of man's nature. The machine which liberates so much of mere human drudgery ought to be a great blessing; it ought to give to the working classes Yet been we find that it is the source of more time that they can call their own; more leisure for civilised self-culture, for domestic intercourse, for social and pp. e i a i r t seen o lle n a n i t do acti on. ; us a tl o d n if e v W e w ry e people—the invento rs and si f ii e ds a te r e,n t thin matter t m he att d e i r ten h s a s s ie n n o : .i t i nor t y called watchers of mach' going On much of the disquiet and u=nrest which pervade modern society.
