=EI SPIRIT OF Til PUBLIC JOURNALS. --- Too mitch praise cannot be given to Mr. Peel for his Bill in respect of the recovering of Small Debts tbst part especially where, for a debt of 101., or under, the property, not the body, of the debtor, is to be seized. We venture to suggest this improve ment—that the execution of no process shall be valid, except it be served in the presence of thY creditor. 'We would have all creditors present upon the serving of a process; we would not have the ..;erving of it, as hi t h erto, l e f t w ith . a solicitor, wh o even hands it over to a s h er iff's officer, the solicitor himself not having any inclination for the °flirt of serving process fin. debt. In nine cases ont of ten, we believe that, if the creditor were present attic serving of the process, the poverty-stricken ttppear once of the debtor, and his wife and children (if he had any), would cause the c re di tor to f orego the pro fess . We are decidedly opposed to the system of credit at all; as we think that the taking a man's goods, in preference to his body, for debt, will be snore summary-, and stare a debtor fuller in the face, far as regards the consequences of getting into debt, so we thi n k t h at t hi s Bill o f Mr. Peel's will diminish the credit system ; and on these grounds principally we highly approve of it.—Morning licre2M, Chief Justice Best has again made strong ob ervations on the obscurity and prolixity of special pleadin g i n C ourts of Law,. His Lordship says, with great truth, that " the real point at issue is too frequently lost sight of, while a multiplicity of pleas and circumstances are introduced, which are entirely irrelevant to the main question." This is part of the craft and mystery of legal practice, which most seriously demands reformation. Special plead ing, as it is at present exercised, is indeed the dis grace of law, and the greatest hindrance of justice. Was it Fo originally ? By no means. The forms of pleading were in earlier times simple, clear, and concise. They were used for the purpose of giving the Court a perspicuous view of the question at issue, and for excluding tedious repetitions and extraneous ?natter. The Courts are themselves to blame for ever having allowed those plain and con cise forms to be departed from, and for having sanc tioned the introduction of the curious intricacy, and absurd fictions of modem pleading, which can have no other effect than to involve the real merits of the ease in verbal obscurity, thereby defeating the inten tions of justice, and loading the honest suitor with ad ditional vexation and expence. It is a remark able circumstance, that the very forms which were originally invented, with the view of facilit a ti ng t h e course of justice, have been convert ed into the means of obstructing and perverting the whole Administration of the Law. Reason sug gests that all judicial and legal forms should be of such a character as to give assistance to elucidate the merits of a case, and not to keep them out of view. But our modern special pleading is chiefly directed to overlay the real question at issue, by a mass of the veriest jargon that can be spread over volumes of expensive folios, to defeat justice, and heasease the profits of those who live by such abuse of.thc process of law. As the Courts are answer able for allowing this vicious practice to creep in, they have also the power of repressing it in a great measure, by causing irrelevant matter and unneces sary verbiage to be struck out of pleadings, and leaving the parties who adopt such a mode of elud ing the just claims of others to pay the costs. On several occasions Chief Justice Best has expressed from the bench his strong reprobation of the absurd fictions stuffed into declarations and pleas, which are abominable frauds upon justice and the pockets of the suitors--but a practice from which great gain is de rived, and censequently in the support of which many are interested, is not easily put down. It is no wonder that words and fictions should be multiplied n pleadings, seeing that the legal artificers who manufacture those things charge so much a page or folio, consisting of a certain number of words, and, of course, no word can come amiss to them which tends to swell their bill of casts. But unless all the Judges unite to discountenance such unworthy prac tice, the nuisance cannot be abated--or at least not considerably diminished. If one Judge holds that to be right and fair, which another considers to be degrading to the profession, there can be no real re formation. A special-pleading Judge is incapable, from long habit, of appreciating the value of admi nistering direct and substantial justice. He is more delighted with his own " astuteness" in " turning round" a suitor on a point offietion or form, than he would be by separating truth front the web of chicanery in which artful practitioners entangle it. The great end of law, we presume, is to administer justice—the object of modern special-pleading is to obstruct and defeat it. The latter substitutes forma for merits, and words for things. It introduces a blind attachment to technicalities, which extinguishes the sense of right and wrong. We see at present no effectual remedy for the evil, but that which it is in the power of the Legislature to apply.--Ibid. was, we Alan not say honestly contracted, but con-1 tracted by•a•Man who had a reasonable prospect of paying it, and for a necessary purpose; arid where they do find that it has not been so contracted, we thiiik the creditor o u g h t , at l east , to h ave hi s alter native of taking the petson or the goods. As to debts below 205., we confess we should like to see them placed, in respect of civilians, as they are in respect of soldiers. No soldier is liable for above a day's pay, and no labouring man ought. To allow the latter to run into debt at all is only generating in them a most mischievous habit, and the parties with Whom they deal are iiat supposed to be pos sessed of capital suilicient to warrant them in in curring the risk of such credits. There are many regulations in Scotland in respect of debts, which it would be a great advantage for England to possess. Their mode of recovering bill debts is peculiarly adapted to a commercial public such as London. A bill in that country requires only to he protested, and judgment may be obtained on It in forty-eight hours, and it distress may be levied in six days from the time of obtaining judgment. We much wish that Mr. Peel, if he could find leisure during the prorogation of Parliament, would devise some plan for facilitating the recovery of bill debts. This is a subject of very great importance, and one that well deserves all the consideration which the Right 11011. Secretary can give to it. There is no man in Eng land better qualified to consider it wisely and remedy it safely than he is.—New Times. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.

It is not easy, in a country so free as ours, and where property is so amply protected, to make law as cheap as in States where individual rights are less zealously guarded. The dearness of the law is, in fact, one of the disadvantages of the liberty of our Constitution, and the same freedom which makes it dear has also made it complex. But, although any thing like the cheap and expeditious justice of an absolute monarchy is unattainable in Great Bri tain, there is no reason why we should not use all the means in our power to abridge our forms of pro cess, and to lessen the amount of our fees. There is no part of our law which more requires investiga tion in those respects than the law of debtor and cre ditor, and though Mr. Peel's Bill, which he obtained leave to bring in on Thursday night, does not propose to effect much, yet, looking to it as the har binger of other and more comprehensive measures I 1 and well knowi ng f rom our experience of the past,'l that the Right Ho n . Secretary is as persevering a he is cautious, we hail it with great satisfaction.— Mr. Peel's present object is to extend the powers of the County Courts to all debts nudes 10/., instead of limiting them to d e b ts un d er W.— li e intends also to introduce certain new forms of process in respect of the Juries that are to decide on such debts : they are to consist a jo of ri fi ty ve ;au i in dividuals only , a nd are to decide by a m arrangement which will so much facilitate business,• that its advantages may well serve as a set-off to the chance of improper v erdicts. On judgm ent t h us obtained the goods of the debtor may be seized, but not his person. This is the principal innovation in the proposed law. We are not among the n um b er of those who can whine over the evils to which a debtor is exposed, without sparing a thought of sympathy to the creditor, who, in ninety-nine cases ...._ san a a T t i l es i an j o C h C r n i out of a hundred, is the most to be pitied of the two.

The Wattlesnahe, English corvette, in six (lays from Malta, brings us the news of the sailing of the Rue• sian men of war from that island to the Archipelago. Bedschid Paella arrived at Prevesa on the 26th. Immediately on his arrival he sent for the English Consul General, M. Mayer, and had a long con ference with him. A French schooner, which arrived at Prevesa on the 7th, brought letters from the Seraskier, to which M. Robert, French Vice-Consul at Prevcsa, asked for the answers on the day of the Seraskier's arrival. On the morning of the 1 lth, Redschid visited the fortifications and magazines in Prevesa, which is to be put in the best state of defence without delay. On the 12th the Seras kier left Prevesa to proceed to Arta ; large quantities of provisions are sent from Prevesa to Karvassara (the ancient Awbracia). The Greek Bishops who lately arrived at Arta, bringing the amnesty offered by the Porte, set out again on the 16th, to continue their journey to Greece. lONIAN ISLANDS, APRIL 27. We are informed, that though war between Russia and Turkey is inevitable, the conferences at Corfu between the Ambassadors of the three Allied Powers will certainly take place, and probably begin, about the end of next month. It is also said that conferences will again take place in Lon don, between Lord Dudley, Prince Polignac, and Prince Lieven, and that the future relations of Greece will he de termined in them. It is not impossible but that the three Powers, parties to the Treaty of London, may soon ap point Consuls to the Greek Government, though, as is generally affirmed, the Porte will retain the supremacy of Greece, by which the political situation of that country would resemble that of Moldavia and Wallachia. The squadrons of the three Powers, which will unite before Navarin, in order to enforce the blockade of the Morea against the Egyptians, may probably, under these circum stances, receive uniform instructions. Whether in the sequel, if the Russian army should advance towards Constantinople, and its operations be so far advanced that a communication can be opened with the Archipelago, or at least with the Sea of Alarrnora, Count Heyden will not attack the Dardanelles on that side, while a Russian fleet from the Black Sea appears before the Bosphorus, is as little known as the real intentions of the Viceroy of Egypt, with respect to the evacuation of the Morea, and his participation in the war between Russia and the Port. 3lahornet Ali, who knows better than any body the resources of the Porte, cannot deceive himself with respect to the issue of the contest, and must be sen sible of the dangers that threaten the Turkish Empire. It is, therefore, hardly to be supposed that after the un fortunate affair of Navarin, he will still have much incli nation to sacrifice himself for the Porte. NUKEMBURG, MAY 14. The Protestant magistrates and deputies to the munici pality of the city of Augsbnrgh, presented on the Bth of April an important petition to the Chambers, for the exe cution of Chap. IV. sec. 9, of the Constitution. This petition is equally important to the Catholics and Pro testants. By sec. 59 of the edict, relative to the municipalities of the year 1818, all the real property of the several religious communities in any town (or district) is to be managed by the local magistrates, without regard to the religion of the majority. By this means it happens that the property of Protestants is frequently administered by Catholics, and that of Catholics by Protestants. Now, sec. 9 of Chap. IV. of the Constitution, secures to the professors of every religion the management of their own property. The Pro testants of Augsburgh, therefore, petition, in order to reconcile these discordant enactments, that in places where their Magistrates have to manage the property of diferent religious parties, each shall he administered separately by Magistrates of the same religion, and that the Magistrates of the other shall have no vote in matters relative to it.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—The parish officers of Christchurch appeared upon summons before Sir PETER LAURIE to show cause why they refused to relieve a decayed tradesman of their parish. He was a tall, well-built old man, in a suit of well-brushed rusty black ; he wore a tight white stock (of the last century) round his neck ; his silvery hair was close cropp'd ; his Roman nose was tipp'd with ruby, and his manners were sprightly and debonair. " Sir," said he, addressing the Magistrate—" lam an humble suitor to your Worship against these gentlemen. I and my father before me have been resident within their parish sixty years ; during the whole of which time we have been contributing to their funds, paying scot and lot with regularity and punctuality ; and now that I am fallen to decay they refuse to relieve me, though all I want from them is a trifle to assist me in paying my rent." The principal parish-officer replied that they had relieved him with money; but they had come to a resolution not to relieve him again—except by admitting him into the poor-house; for, when money was given to him, he was too apt to spend it in drinking. " Aye, there it is l" said the decayed tradesman—" that is always the way whenever I apply to them—they always stop my mouth with drinking !" " And can you say, conscientiously, that you arc a sober man ?" demanded the Alderman. ... The decayed tradesman arched his eye-brows, shrugged his shoulders, spread out his hands, drew down the corners of his mouth, inclined his head a little to one side, and replied—" Your Worship is very close upon me ; really—l hardly knew what to say—really ! But this I will say, that I lost my wife two years ago last June, since which time I have performed all my household affairs my self, in my own person ; my dusting, scrubbing, washing and cooking—little enough of cooking, Heaven knows ! but such as it was I did it, duly and truly ; which I humbly submit I eculd not have done had I been a conspi cuously drunken man as these gentlemen seem to insinuate ; and I humbly submit also, that if they relieve none but the faultless, many will perish." " You had better attend the Board," said the Alder- man. " Lord bless you, my dear Sir !—there is no Board," replied the decayed tradesman ;—" there is scarcely any parish, for the New Post-office had swept the greater part away." The parish officers now told him that though there was no Board, there would be a Committee on the Friday evening in next week ; and if he would attend it they would take his case into consideration. In the meantime they were willing to relieve him. Accordingly, one of them handed a half-crown to the decayed tradesmen, which he received with a very equivo cal sort of bow, and was walking off, when Sir P. LAURIE stopping him by asking—" Now will you make an agree ment with me?"—" I must first know the nature of it, Sir PETER," replied the decayed tradesman, "really it is not prudent to make agreements without knowing the nature of them." " Then it is this—that you will not spend any part of that half-crown in gin?" said Sir PETER. Why, Sir PETER," replied the decayed tradesman, " since I have been waiting in this office, I have observed that you have a terrible antipathy to gin; perhaps your Worship would recommend brandy in preference ?" " No !" rejoined Sir PETER ; " nothing stronger than porter." " Porter !" exclaimed the decayed tradesman ; " de me, Sir PETER !—really—porter is a thing that " You bad better promise," whispered one of the, cars; and the deeayed one making a low bow to the bench, said—" Sir PETER, I promise ;" and so having said he walked away, looking at his half-crown as he went. Yesterday being the day fixed for resuming the inquiry whether a musician or a barrister was the father of an il legitimate .child, Mary Hall, the mother, and the parish officers of St. Michael-le-Querns, were in attendance on the one side, and Mr. Dally, the defendant's solicitor, and some of his witnesses, on the other. Mr. Dally said, that although his client felt conscious of innocence, and that an imposition was now practised on him, he was equally conscious of the difficulty he had to contend with in opposing it, through the vagueness of the law on this subject, and therefore he should not now resist the order. Perhaps, however, he should hereafter appeal to the Sessions. The pauper bad stated that his client had made her drunk, in order to take advantage of her ; but the witness, whom the girl stated to have accompanied her, denied this positively, and he regretted that when the accusation was sent forth to the world, the refutation was not also published. His client most positively denies that she was ever made intoxicated at his chambers, or that he ever was intimate with her there. If the witness (bars. 11.1‘...u..10y) had now beta luebent, she would have repeated her denial of the gill's statement. Sir PETER LAURIE had read the report alluded to, and he considered it accurate, as the reports from that quarter generally were. He asked the girl who gave her the wine which caused her intoxication ? She said Mrs. Berkeley and the defendant. Sir PETER. inquired whether she went to the chambers mare than once ? She answered that she visited them several times. Sir Prnn said that the statement of Mrs. Berkeley was perhaps, inconsistent with what the girl had sworn. Mrs. Berkeley bad spoken of what occurred on a different day to that pointed out by the girl. Mr. Daily said, however that might be, his client most positively denied the imputation of having made the girl drunk at his chambers. Mr. Alderman C. SMITH observed, that as it had not been proved that the intimacy had commenced at a later period, than by means of it the defendant inight be the father of the child, they must proceed to make the older; and after some consultation with Sir Peter Laurie, the de fendant was adjudged to be the father, and was ordered to pay above 51. for expenses of lying-in, &c., and ss. a-week so long as the child shall be chargeable. BOW-STREET.— William Smith and William Bull, the two men who were last week apprehended upon suspicion of being concerned in robbing the Hounslow post-office of several mail bags, containing general post-office letters, were yesterday to have nudergone a public examination at this offim. On the application, however, of Mr. Peacock, the post-office solicitor, the case was heard in private. Captain Dillon, a gentleman on half-pay in the army, came to the office, to state that on Thursday he sent a frock coat to his tailor, Mr. Keller, of Old Burlington-street, by a lad, to be altered. The lad was employed as errand-boy at the house where lie (the captain) lodged, in Villiers street, Strand. Ile also sent by the boy a letter for Mr. Keller, containing his directions as to the alteration which he required to be made. Instead of taking the coat and letter as directed, the lad said he was met by a man at the corner of Burlington-street, who asked him if he were not going to a tailor? The lad answered that he was, and said where he came frames. Upon . which the man said that he was aware of the circumstance, and was just going for the coat himself. lie then took it from the boy ; and having read the letter, said that he would attend to the Captain's directions. He then walked away, and of course was not afterwards seen. The Captain, deeming this tale impro bable, had the lad taken into custody. As nothing, however, appeared to criminate the boy in the eyes of the Magistrate, he was allowed to go at large, on the understanding, however, that he should appeal: on a future day, if called upon. UNION-HALL.—It is lamentable in the extreme, to witness th e number of juvenile offenders brought up to this office in the course of a month on charges of felony; in deed, scarcely a day passes that youthful delinquents are not apprehended for thefts committed on shopkeepers residing in this district, several of whom have been robbed by a gang of these young depredators, who are trained to the business, and so expert at breaking a shop-window, and afterwards robbing it, that it is with difficulty they are discovered. Yesterday, however, two of these young rogues, named Quin and Rogers, who had that morning committed a robbery, were brought up in custody, by Myers. a constable of Newington.—They were com mitted. Three boys, the eldest not eleven years of age, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing a miniature drawing from the shop of a picture dealer im Lambeth. Two out of the three of these young offenders were in cus tody a few days before on a charge of felony, and were well whipped at the rear of the office, at the request of their parents, previous to their discharge. The punishment they received, however, seemed to have had very little effect on them, for they had scarcely quitted the office when they were joined by another of their associates, with whom they proceeded to the complainant's shop-window, and having broken the glass, stole a miniature picture, with which they escaped. They subsequently offered the minia ture for sale for fourpence, and were taken into custody. Their parents attended, and stated, that they had tried every means in their power to correct the evil propensities of their children, but without effect. The prisoners were committed. An Aggregate Meeting of the Catholics took place on Tuesday, in Clarendon-street, Dublin, Lord Vis count Krwitx in the Chair, at which the Chairman pro posed a vote of Thanks to Sir FRANCIS BCRIJETT, and the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty. The meeting was very fully attended ; and, among others, an animated speech was delivered by Mr. O'Cosratt. • qt, Y ' 1~~ SPORTING INTELLIOENCE. EPSOM RACES. l 4 FRIbAY, MAY 23.—The Oaks, although of great im portance to the sporting world, does not possess so great an attraction to the public, as the Derby. The company, therefore, was not by any mean.; so numerous as on Thursday, nor was there that brilliant display of fashion which distinguished the Derby day ; the scene, however, was still very animated, and there were many of the no bility in attendance, including the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Grafton, Duke of Rutland, Marquis of Exeter, Marquis of Cleveland, Earls Jersey, Verulam, Sefton, Orford, Mountcharles, Southampton; Lords Nor- manby, G. Bentinek, Molyneux, Wilton, G. Cavendish, J. Fitzroy; Sir John Shelley, General Grosvenor, Colo nels Lyster, Russell, Udny, Studd ; Honourables W. Dun estnbe,:Stanley, and nsost of the other noblemen and gentle men mentioned in our last. In our account of Thursday's races we omitted to mention that the stewards' stand was oecupied by their Royal Highnesses, the Duke of Clarence, Prince Leopold, Duke of Cumberland, and Prince George, Lord Derby, Lord and Lady Wilton, Marquis London derry, Lords Nl oun t e h ar l es , an d G. Bentinck, Sirs F. Burdett and G. Hill, Colonel Moberly, General Gros venor, Hon. R. Grosvenor, Ex. The weather was favourable during the whole of the day, but the sport was not by any means so good as on Thursday, the Oaks and the other races being won easy. 45 37 , 1 38 ti 35 0 40 40 43 46 9 18 5 4t 42 50 - - .58 50 38 68 nr; 40 48 64, 42 i 8 42 18 40 4 5 38 'l 2 s. d. d. 00 DO THE DERBY. There is a singular coincidence in the running for this stakes on Thursday and the Doncaster St. Leger of last year. Mameluke, after winning the Derby, was sent to Doncaster to win the St.. Leger, which, from the style in which he won at Epsom, and the repeated trials made with him, was looked upon as certain ; he came out and ran second. By way of retaliation, the Yorkshire people sent up the Colonel, whose performances as a two-year old gave them good grounds for supposing that he would wrest the prize from the southern side of the Trent ; lait his attempt was attended with the same success as Maineluke's, although it must be confessed that he had a better chance for it, and ran an extraordinary good horse, for never before was the honour of the south so much endangered. Thus, from year to year, has the rivalship between Yorkshire and Newmarket been carried on, without either being able to obtain any decisive triumph. This remark is applicable only to the horses, for, in riding, both north and south have been beat on their own ground by jockies from the other country. As usual, both Derby and Oaks were car ried off by Newmarket horses, the Yorkshire being second for the first, and the west country in the other. The very superior manner in which the Colonel ran fully supports his previous performances, and shows that the betting men had formed a pretty accurate opinion of them : he cannet fail of becoming a great favourite for the St. Leger, notwith standing the extraordinary style in which Velocipede won at York. The three first horses (Cadland, the Colonel, and Zinganee) for the Derby, were also the first favourites in the odds, which impugns the old advice " always to bet against the favourite." One gentleman took 100 to 1 that there would be a dead heat for the Derby. The course was again kept with a precision that would have done credit to Ascot, and the public are highly in debted to Mr. Maherly for the spirit and liberality evinced by him in the discharge of the difficult duties pertaining to the office of steward. The neighbouring Magistrates gave every assistance, and the police exerted themselves with equal zeal and moderation. The only accident we saw yesterday happened to the Honourable Mr. Stanley, whose horse fell with him, without doing him any serious injury. Conolly, the jockey, whose accident we noticed yesterday, is much better : the injury is confined to a broken rib. About three o'clock the horses started for The Oaks Stakes of 50 sovereigns each, h. ft., for fillies, Bst. 41b. Seventy-eight subscribers. The distance and other conditions the same as for the Derby. Duke of Grafton's br.

Carendislee Ridicule filly 4 to 1 agst Sir John Shelley's Rosalia '7 to 1 apt Lord Jersey's Trampoline 25 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Turquoise The rest as before. In order to keep up the fashion, there were five tape starts, and much time was lost. At last they came away, Ruby in front, and making the running at a tremendous pace; Lestelle, Zoe, and Delta followed her very well, and the others in the rear. They rattled along at tip-top speed, and without much change among the above; they came half way between the distance, where Zoe was beat off and Turquoise took her place. The struggle then as sumed an interesting appearance between Ruby, Turquoise, Lestelle, and Delta. Turquoise soon got up to Ruby, and improved her pace, passed her, and won easy by two lengths Ridicule was beat early in the race ; Trampoline was done np before she reached Tottenham corner ; Rosalia dropped her running early, and the rest were expeditiously tailed off. The winner was rode by John Dav in that steady ju dicious style which we have often noticed. Ruby was rode by Wheatley, Zoe by Robinson, Rosalia by G. Edwards, Ridicule by Arnnll, Trampoline by 11. Edwards, Delta by S. Day, Zelinda by Pavia, Lestelle by Lear, Lisette by Goodison, Varnish by Dockery, Olympia by Curtis, Alad din by young Buckle, and Sarah by W. Scott. The value of the stakes to his Grace the Duke of Graf ton is 2,1501. The result was totally unlooked for, and is a floorer to the layers of odds.

The same report which is annually circulate p th s d in the towns and villages adjacent to Epsom, was re aced year, to its prejudice—viz., that it is nut capab le of nal'd i ing lodgings for the occasion, and that the charges were exorbitant. As this prevented many stopping there, we think it but justice to say, that there we re lodgings more than sufficient for the occasion, and at not h i gher charg es than the neighbouring places. THE FANCY. We here present our readers with a few fancy f rea k s of the fag end of yesterday. In the first place, Jem Savage and Kirkman, whose match has become nearly a standing one, announced that they would once more see lehr c h was the hest. In consequence the ringleaders tnade ;: more to a valley just over the hill. A place, as our " men of honor" say, " sufficiently retired for such a I - 11 -pose." After waiting there for the space of about a three- quarters of an hour, and depositing about ten quid in ti:. hands of the Collector-General, Stockman, the spectator had at '' ~:t 1 satisfaction of seeing the man at the scratch'. The liakfi was announced as 101. a-side. The seconds wee duly i t pointed, Dick Curtis kept time, and everybody kept the ring, which was thronged by a large portion of Adsra .s family, and properly adorned by reporters, who were tsot , however, the only note-takers. The men set-ts, their boasted taking qualities were concentrated in whio9 time, for that was all they did take except the purse. Afa r about twenty minutes catching-hold, hitting open-haniel and letting each other down comfortably, Savage bece s suddenly ill, apparently overcome by his prospect of vi' ning, and all the yells and laughter of the ring could o d bring him up more than once after it, in order probab i l to show his game, and he came up onl y to De instantly sent down. Time was called again ; stood up, and put his baVils up to his ears. Kirkman' seeing he did not come to Ole scratch, threw up his Or cond's hat, and walked off. The fancy followed his f_;, ample, cursing the prize ring, which nothing but OP deplorable humbug could ever deprOciate• SPRING'S TURN-UP WITO SAMPSON.

Sir John Sinclair resoleit ec 2 permission to lay before the Meeting a statement' of 0 ' objects he had in view, in wishing that public attentil should be more steadily directed than heretofore it 1 331 ' beeu, to the Culture and Uses of Potatoes; azd having produced specimens of Potatoe Meal and of the Ewints TNY tatoes, he proceeded shortly to explain how these tsrsosu ir stances were prepared, and to what purposes they we! l* . spectively applicable. POTATOE MEAL. In preparing potatoe meal, no material part of the WO is lost. The whole, after being merely scraped or peeled , is cut into very thin slices, .then carefully dried in ad kiln or stove, and afterwards ground into meal in a .cosse mon mill. The advantages of this process are— I. SECURITY FOR SUBSISTENCE.—As potatoes are very precarious crop, and cannot be preserved in their ns' tural state, beyond a few months after they are dug I any country in which they form the chief sustenance of th e. people must, according to the present system, be extremely liable to scarcity. But when dried and converted in t°. meal, potatoes may be preserved for a long period of tio and the abundant crop of one season may thus be made e`' compensate for the scanty produce of another. 2. INCREASE OF FOOD FROM THE SAME QUANTITY" Or LAND.—Where a family depends entirely on their potato e t garden for food, such dependence necessarily leads to g re3 waste. The potatoe is seldom ready for consumption l fore the month of October, and frequently it becomes utO for food before the month of June or JUIT. The familP however, being obliged to live on their potatoes through.; ou t the year, have no recourse but to consume one part the crop after it has lost much of its nutritious prepertlet and another part before it is thoroughly ripe. in way, prolsably, one-sixth of the whole crop is wasted. as the potatoes may be always converted into meal, 147131 ` in their greatest perfection, this waste may be p r eventtl and the same quantity of land will thus produce one -sii ', part more of wholesowne nourishment at all times ready i`r consumption. ,die 3. PREVENTION OF DISEASE.—The unwholesome ‘•' to which a population, dependent wholly on potatoes, obliged to have recourse during the months intervening r twcen the decay of the old crop, and the thkvough riper ing of the new, causes typhus and other diseases of a ros e infectious and fatal kind. But these diseases would great measure disappear, were the necessity for using -11) !, unwholesome food, which principally occasions them, .7 longer to exist. wh T en he co lo m w pa r r a ed te , a v t iti vh o ich ther po ar t t a i t c o les e m of ea h l can uman f b o e od sur ri l ve , w. from grain, appears from the following result of the Of periments made by General Dimn, in Dumfries-shire s t : ascertain their relative proportions :---Wheat, two an d ,' quarter ; Oatmeal, one and a half; Barley Meal, one 00 4 " a quarter ; Potatoe Meal, one per pound. POTA TOE FARINA. The! mode of extracting farina from the potatoei to separate by grating, straining and repeated washine the mealy from the coarse and fibrous part of the roof' The former, which contains the moat nourishing pesstior'' of the root, is then dried, and becomes exactly in sr pearances like wheaten flour. The fibrous part marl employed for making coarse bread or other useful purrs 's* The advantages of this process are— I. IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD MADE FROM INFES O "; WHEATEN Fr.ourt.—Flour produced from inferior soil' , exposed to unfavourable seasons, is deficient in that intr r i taut article, the gluten ; but, by a mixture of the jel l y the potatoe, bread as light in texture, and as nutritious quality, may be produced, as from flour of the finest qu a ; lity ; the gluten, in which inferior wheat is defective,lbe i* ' . supplied by the farina. 2. GREATER QUANTITY OF NOURISHMENT raorit .11° SAME EXTENT OF SOIL.—An acre of land, in polish' will produce shout 2700 lbs. weight of farina ; wpere.; an acre of land in wheat will not produce 155 0 lbs. w eigh , of flour. It is evident, therefore, that in proporeio ad farina is used instead of wheat in the composition of bre3_,' the country will become capable of supporting a gr esw ; population, and be rendered more independent of fi-treig nations for subsistence.
