The Florida had also captured the transpt )rt steamer Electric Spark, a fast vessel of 800 toat c burthen, carrying a valuable cargo of assorted g oods, and bound for New Orleans. It was thought that the vessel would be run over to Nassau to sell the cargo, and that she would then be fitted out as a privare,or. Several Federal gunboats have gone in pursuit of the Florida. The Electric Spark carried a large mail and also an official despatch bag, all of which fell into the heads of Captain Morris of the Florida. It is feared that the capture of the official bag will result in important disclosures of the Federal plan of operations in Louirsiana and Arkansas. KINAHAN'S LL WHISKY v. COGNAC, BRANDY.

On the evening of the Bth inst. the Confederates attacked the works held by Turner's division on the left of the Federal centre. They were repulsed by artillery. At latest ac counts both armies were vigorously strengthening their position. A rumour was circulated yestor. terday which, however, could be traced to no re liable source, to the effect that Grant had captured Petersburg and 5,000 prisoners. The Confederate demonstration in Maryland, at first regarded as a mere foraging raid, having now assumed the grander proportions of an invasion, seriously threatening the national capital, absorbs the public attention.

This Company is established for The purpose of purchasing Lne property and continuing, the business f the well known Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls, so o successfully con flatted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for aeveral years pa-t. The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the public, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or tin -tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative undertaking, and one which, with the additional means at the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still 2 nore so. An agreement has been entered into for the purchase of the Whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together With the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on 'terms highly a d van t ageous to the Company, and in order to Show his confidence in its future success, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for some years the manager. It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel accommodation, which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. '1 here is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both establishments, which is capable of considerable extension. It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics, the returns which may be expected from the present under taking, hut the certified accounts for the last three years show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the whole amount of capital, wh.ch it is contemplated eventually to call up, The Lresent average attendance at the Oxford and Canter bury Music Halls is about 60, 0 00 a mcnth, and the proposed extension of busin ess will doubtless render the profits of the undertakinr , still more remunerative than ever. One- haleof the capita has been already applied for, and applications for the remainder should be made to the bankers of the Company, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ; if no allotment be made t he deposit will be returned. Prost ectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Oxford and the Canterbury, at the Brokers, and at the Temporary Offic s of the Company. COBBETT and CO..

Walter Stewart, of her Majesty's screw corvette Encounter, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from Madras and St, Helena, with the left wing of the 74th Highlanders on board and detachments of time-expired men and invalids from various regiments serving in the Madras Presidency. The Hornet sailed from Madras on the Bth of March and from St. Helena on the Ist of June. The troops on board consist of the left wing 74th High landers—Capts. W. S. Thackeray, C. H. Thompson, and W.

Tie invalids could have been transferred from the ship when at Spithead to Netley, but it was under stood that the terms of the charter party provided only for the disembarkation of the men at Gravesend. The owner of the Hornet stands by those terms, and the Horse Guards authorities must therefore submit and provide railway transport for the men from Gravesend to Netley. The Bacchante, screw frigate, 39 guns, Capt. Donald M. L. Mackenzie, arrived at Spithead on Thursday, about 2 p.m. from the Pacific. She sailed from Valparaiso on the evening of the 14th of April, with a f re i g h t o f 125 , 000d 0 1 5. on board for Rio Janeiro. At V a l para i so were h er M a je s t y 's ships Leander, bearing the bro a d pennant o f C ommo d ore Harvey, and Alert, Commander Majendie—light southerly winds and calms were experienced after leaving Valparaiso until the 26th. The vessel made very little progress, hav ing at that date only reached lat. 36.57 S. ; long. 84.24 W. Beyond this point strong northerly and westerly winds were fallen in with and continued until Cape Horn was rounded on the afternoon of the sth May. The Falkland Islands were passed on the 9th May, fre s h westerly winds prevail ing. On the 10th May the ship was under doul l e-ree f e d topsails and courses, going nine knots, when the main yard was carried away at the slings. On the 14th it had been repaired and sent up again, but on the same day the star board cutter was carried away in a heavy roll A the sea. From the 16th of May to the 22d the wind was 'ery light. On the 22d of May there was a calm, and steam was got up in two boilers. At noon on the 26th the vessel :whored in the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, and found at anchor there her Majesty's ships Egmont, Curlew, Stromboli, nod Industry. Two deaths occurred on the voyage from Valpsraiso to Rio —Henry Harris, private Royal Marine Light - Lnfantry, re ceived from her Majesty's ship Nereus, and Vim. Harford, gunner of the Royal Marine Artillery, servins on board the ship. The Bacchante having discharged ha freight and received on board naval invalids from her .3lajesty's ships on the station, sailed from Rio anchorage for England on the Ist of June, under steam with two boilers in use, escort ing the British ship Sophy out to sea umil 20 miles S.S.E, of the bay. Then the Sophy, in obedience to a signal from the Bacchante, cast off the warps of ber towing tug, and stood out to sea under her canvas, a Federal man of war steamer being reported at the same time to be in eight and in pursuit. The Bacchants crossed the equator on the 15th June, in long. 30 W., and :he Tropic of Cancer on the 26th June in long. 42.35 W. Vice Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., embarked on boarc the Fire Queen steam yacht, Staff Commander Paul, or Saturday, and proceeding out to Spithead inspected the sacchante, The vessel atter her inspection weighed anclor and steamed into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle and pay out of commission. The Royal Sovereige, 5, iron-cased turreteship, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., was officially inspected in Ports mouth harbour, on commission, by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., Neval Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth. She will go cut of Portsmouth harbour this morn ing, and, according t pre-existing arrangementa, proceed to off Osborne, where her Majesty's has announced her in tention of paying a visit to the ship. On Tuesday, most probably, the Royal. Sovereign will anchor in St. Helen's roads, preparatory to commencing her trial cruise. A field•day of peculiar interest took place on Friday, at Woolwich, in which the regular troops in garrison and the Kentish Volunteers were combined. About 25,000 or 30,000 spectators were calculated to have been present. By a most judicious arrangement the flagstaff was traneterred from the eastern to the western side of the common. The space at the rear, being well sheltered with trees, was appointed by Gan. Warde as the reserved position for private carriages and persons admitted by tickets of reserve. Tho corps of Volunteers from different parts of the country commenced forming in the Royal Arsenal soon after one o'clock. The whole of the interior of the common and barrack-field were kept clear of spectators, and the roads leading thence were t p.m. The proceedings com:neuccd a t 3 o'clock o t n 2 o th 'cl ea o r e r k ivalof Viscount Sydney, lore-lieut. of the county, who was received on the ground by Major-Gen. Warde, C.B.,commanded the garrison, attended by his Per sonal staff, There werealso present Col. lel'elurdo, Inspector udson2S Br i l g e d n i t R Vis count Volunteers; Lieut.-Col. Thorold Brigadier and A.D.C. Lieut. Hardinge, Lieut.-Col. Sir E. Campbell, Assist.-Inspector of V o l unteers; Lieut. - Col. Anderson, Lieut.-Col. Ellis, Lieut.-C o l. P arkyn, an d ot h er mounted officers. Those to who m h a d been awarded the prize won otint ll ,th Dent at the Volunteer contest at Gravesend having been ranged in front of the General and Staff, Viscount Sydney addressed them, and informed them that he was glad to find there was no diminution in their numbers. They had been compli mace, he said, by General Hay, and their firing had been good. He had formerly delivered the prizes himself, but on this occasion he had asked Lady Sydney to perform that part. Tho names were then called over, and each oue re ceived his prize. The recipients then took their places in their various battalions, The General and attendant offi cers shortly afterwards proceeded to the front, and ware re ceived with a general salute after which he inspected the troops, who were ranged in the following order :—The Royal Horse Artillery, in command of Col. E. Price, C. 8., B Brigade, on the right of and at right angles to the lines; the Royal Marine Light Infantry, in command of Lieut.- Marriott, on the right of the line in quarter-distance column, right in front, with their right resting en the left of the Royal Horse Artiller Y—the different corps of Volun teers in a line of contiguous quarter-distance columns on the left of the Royal Marines, the Ist brigade consisting of the Ist administrative battalion, Blackheath-2d ditto, Penshurst-3,1 ditto, Maidstone-4th and sth Canterbury and Cranbrooke, in command of Lieut. Col. Thorold—and the 2d brigade comprising the 26th Royal Arsenal (two battalions), Woolwich, Ist a dministrative brigade Graves end, and 10th and 14th Arsenal and Dockyard brigades of i n command of T Artillery,—.eut. Col. Hardinge. Four field batteries, in command of Colonel J. H. Smyth, C. 8., formed on the left of the infantry at right angles, and two 40-pounder batteries, in com mand of Lieut. Col. Austen, in line in the rear. The ground was well kept by a detach ment at the Royal Artillery, in command of Col. the Hon. G. T. Devereux, LUL A ') and Capt. Webb, Royal Marines, assisted by a large body of the local and metropolitan police in charge o f Inspector T. —invell, and under the spe cial superintendence of Mr M —allalieu. The weather was very fi n e during the rev iew, and the w h o l e went off with out accident of any kind. Shortly before four o'clock the troops commenced marching past in quick time, the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries in open columns of batteries at half interval, and the infantry in open co lumn of companie s. The bands of Volunteer corps marched past at the Lead of their corps, but did not play. The bands of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines formed up in front of the flagstaff' and played during the marching past. After marching Past the force divided into two corps, and carried out the attack and defence of an in trenched camp. The attacking force force formed on the top of the common under cover of the heavy batteries. The defending body, supposed to be in position in front of their intrenchnaents, were drawn up in front of the Ha-ha sepa. rating the common from the barrack field. Soon after 4 o'clock a rocket was fired to announce the commencement of the attack. Operations im medi ately commenced by the defenders shelling the enenlY'a Position on the hill. The heavy guns were discharged in reply, on which the de fenders advanced, supported by Horse Artillery and co vered by skirmishers. In the meantime the enemy de ployed, throwing out skirmishers to check the advance. The defenders having advanced, deployed, skirmishers worn re called on both sides, and a heavy fire opened from both lines. The defenders retired slowly, Covered by skirmishers, the enemy advancing supported by field artillery. A stand was then made at the Ha-ha, over which the defenders re tired, throwing bridges across to do so. The enemy still advanced, but was laying d o wn bridges for himself (the de fenders having removed t heirs and retired into their in trenehments) and was mct by a heavy fire from the works, which prevented an assault and compelled him to retire. The defenders pursued. The troops t h en formed on the original ground, advanced in line and b ro k e o ff i n di v i s i ons from the field about half-pas t 6 . The marching past of the various corps of volunteers. and many of their movements, were highly applauded. It was remarked during the mul tiplicity of artillery and infantry manoeuvres commanded throughout by Major-General Warde, the newly-appointed commander of the garrison, that although an officer of the Royal Horse Artillery his experience perfectly qualified him for the command of the infantry, the movements of which ho directed with equal facility and judgment. After the review the General entertained a numerous party of guests at the Royal Artillery moss, including Viscount Sydney, Viscount Hardinge, and the officers commanding, Sir Shafto Adair, and many others. The following appointments and promotions were made The report of the directors of this company states that the amout of capital raised to the 30th of tune, 1863, is £12,094,099. The amount of capital expended during the half-year is £389,082. The opening of new branches and the approaching requirements for the South London lines have necessitated an increase in the plant; the directors are making the necessary preparations, as the successful working of the railway depends chiefly on the pos session of an adequate stock of engines and vehicles. The high price of money has checked applications for de benture stock; still a further sum of £24,023 has been issued during the past half year. The gross revenue has been £466,301, showing an increase 0fg3,486 over the cor responding half•year. The traffic is still subject to the natural effect of the large redaction of fares and rates made the Ist of August, 1863, but the expectations of the directors have already to some extent been realised, as the traffic is con tinually increasing, and there is no cause to doubt that the returns after the Ist August next will contrast favourably. The total traffic receipts for the half year ending June 30, amounted to £151,454 against £445,610 for the correspond ing half of 1863, showing an increase of £5,844. The total working expenses and renewals amounted to £220,273 or 48! per cent, against £224,394 or 50 1-3 d per cent. for the corresponding period, showing a decrease of £4,121 in the expenditure, although there was an increase in the mileage of 201,104 miles run by the trains. The renewals for the past half year amounted to £7,507, and the corresponding half of last year to £9,258. The cost of working per train mile was 2s Gid against 2s 111 d in the corresponding half of 1863. The lines promoted by the South Eastern Railway Company affecting the interests of this company were with drawn, satisfactory arrangements made with that company as regards the traffic from Tunbridge-wells to Eastbourne, and all questions at variance adjusted—the directors believe this will prevent any future collision, and thus strengthen the friendly relations of the two companies. The directors have succeeded in obtaining powers for a direct access to the suburban lines from Peckham across the Dulwich Col lege estate. These powers will enable the company so com pletely to accommodate the whole of their district that it is hoped further important extensions may not be required for some time. The branch lines to Bognor and to Seaford were opened for public traffic on the Ist cf June. The opening of the South London line will be somewhat retarded by the widening of the Greenwich viaduct; but the works will be pushed on willa rapidity. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account is £122,603, out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of 21 per cent. for the half year, leaving a balante of £428. COCKERMOUTH, KESWICK, AND PENRITH, The directors of this company had made arrangements for opening the line on the let of August, but the Government inspector required heavier " chairs" to be laid at the ends of the rails than those used. The inspector was commu nicated with, and a reply has been received, stating that although he will insist on heavier chairs being substituted, yet, if all else Is satisfactory, he will be willing to sanction the opening of the line for passenger traffic.gt appears the directors have ordered the heavier chairs, and will substi tute them gradually, so that the opening of the line will not, it is expected, be delayed beyond the middle of August.

The report of the directors states that the claims of the contractors for extras have been settled by a satisfactory arrangement,which not only liquidated the claims originally put forward, but which precludes any further demands of a similar nature. The contractors continue to assure the directors that a considerable saving on the time stipulated by their contract will probably be effected. The directors state that a call of £4 per share will be payable at the end of August next, and that a further and final call of £4 per share will be necessary before the end of the year. T he re port of Mr. J. Brunlees, engineer-in-chief, states that dur ing the past six months the progress of the work has, on the whole, been satisfactory. The first section of 13 miles is practically finished. On the second section 37 miles in length, the first lift on the incline is so far completed that the stationary engine is at work, and generally on the other three lifts the works are so far advanced that the rails will be laid' on the top of the Serra in September next, and it is expected that all the stationary engines will be erected and atjwork early next year. The Serra viaduct will still take some nine or ten months for erection, but this does not delay the general progress, as a temporary road has been laid past it, over which the permanent way materials can be hauled. From the top of the Serra to San Paulo the work will be completed during the present dry season, after which the ballasting and rail-laying will be proceeded with. On the third section, 33 miles in length, rapid progress has been made with the earthworks generally, and it is expected that in three or four months they would be completed; The ma terial in the tunnel and summit cutting continues of an un favourable nature, and consequently the progress is but slow. Labour is abundant, and the weather has been very favourable. The capital account shows an expenditure of £1,767,493, leaving a balance of £104,873- A Portrait of Shakspere—By Himself. (A Card sold at the Dramatic College Fete.) A sweeter or more loveable creature Framed in the prodigality of Nature The spacious World cannot contain again. His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, That Nature might stand up and say, To all the WORLD, this was a man I He was ever gracious, had a tear for pity. And a hand open as day for melting charity His bounty was as boundless as the sea, His lova as deep ; the more he gave the more He had, for he was infinite. Hear him but reason in divinity, And all-admiring with an inward wish You would desire to see him made a prelate. Hear him debate on commonwealth affairs, You'd say it bath been all in all hi study hear List his discourse on war , a nd y shall A fearful battle rendered you in music. • Turn him to any cause of policy, The Gordian knot of it he will Unloose Familiar as his garter. And when he speaks of love The air, a chartered libertine, is still, And the mute wonder lurketh in men's ears To steal his sweet and honied sentences. Our poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Did glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodied;forth The forms of things unknown, our poet's pen Turned them to shapes, and gave to airy nothing A local habitation and a name, Found tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in atones, and good in everthing. A THEATRICAL " ASIDE."—A difficulty between an actor and his manager gave rise to an odd scene the other night at the Theatre des Arts, at Rouen, During the performance of "Nos Alliees," M. Delacroix, who was plaing the chief role, suddenly paused in his part and said —" Gentlemen, —Allow me to interrupt myself an instant, and tell you something. I have just been dismissed by M. Briet. Now, I depend on my engagament for my bread, and as I have not deserved this treatment I appeal to you. The director has in this case looked more to himself than the public. This will never do.

A desperate battle ensued, lasting from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., when the Federals, after suffering severely in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and losing most of their artillery, were forced to retreat in disorder. Among the prisoners taken by the Confederates was General Tyler. General Wallace retreated to Baltimore. His force was about 10,000 men, while the Confederates are believed to have numbered at least 25,000. After defeating Gene• ral Wallace, the Confederates seem to have been divided into several bodies, and to have immediately moved for the destruction of the railroad communi cations of Washington and Baltimore, their com bined operations being thought to indicate an at tack upon the latter city, where the greatest excite ment prevailed. The streets were barricaded, business suspended, and no one was permitted to enter or leave the city without a military pass. The Confederates, although continually menacing the city, did not attack it, but directed their atten tion to its railroad and telegraph communications. On the afternoon of the 10th, Governor Brad ford's residence, four miles from Baltimore, was burned by a squad of cavalry. The inmates were permitted to escape, and were informed that the house was destroyed in retaliation for the destruc tion of Governor Letcher's house at Lexington by General Hunter. On the evening of the 10th the Confederates appeared in large force at Elliott's Mills, 16 miles from the city, and, after having destroyed the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad to that point, commenced to destroy bridges on the Northern Railroad con necting Baltimore with Harrisburg, Penn. The extent of damage sustained by this road is not known, but is believed to be serious. The Balti more, Wilmington, and Philadelphia Railroad was next attacked. Some accounts represent that the bridges over Bush River and Gunpowder Creck were destroyed, but a Philadelphia despatch states that these structures were successfully defended by Federal gunboats. The damage to other parts of the road is known to be great, Oa the morning of the 11th a passenger train was captured by the Confederates at Magnolia Sta tion on the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad, and a number of soldiers and officers, among the latter Major-General Franklin, were made pri- soners. While detached squads of the Confederates were operating in the vicinity of Baltimore, their main force were concentrated and advanced towards Washington, on the Rockville road. A Philadelphia despatch states that yesterday (12th) a force of at least 15,000 had appeared before the northern defences of Washington, and that fighting was in progress miles from the city. The absence of official intelligence and the inter ruption of railroad and telegraphic communication between Washington and Baltimore and the north, naturally result in the circulation of exciting and contradictory rumours. The capture of Washington even is reported; bat this, although by no means impossible, is highly improbable, as the defences of Washington on the north, although not very formid able, are still of sufficient strength to hold an enemy in check for a long time, and these defences are known to be sufficiently garrisoned. As to the actual strength of the Confederates in Maryland, no definite idea can be formed from the report thus far received. It is said, however, that 38,000 men with 140 pieces of artillery has passed through Frederick, under command of General A. P. Hill, and were moving rapidly to effect a junction with the forces under Earley. If this report be correct the entire invading force must number considerably more than 40,000 men. It is also reported that the commands of Sigel and Sulli van had effected a junction, and that Hunter's advance had occupied Martinsburg on the evening of the 11th. It was rumoured that Gen. Morgan, with a force of 6,000 Confederate mounted infantry, was following Hunter's column. It is not definitely known whether any of Gene. ral Grant's troops have been sent North from the James River, but it is rumoured that the entire 18th army corps, under General Smith, reached Baltimore on the 11th. Great apprehensions exist in some quarters for the safety of the capital, while in others the fullest confidence in its security is entertained, and the Confederate invasion is regarded as affording Gene ral Grant an excellent opportunity to avail himself of the reduced force of the enemy in his front, and capture Petersburg, The Governor of New Jersey has called upon citizens of that state to volunteer for 30 days' ser. vivo to protect the national capital. The 84th regiment of New York Militia left yesterday for Washington, and several other regi. ments are under orders to start for the same point, but the Militia manifest a decided objection to leave the State. Major Gunther, of New York City, has protested against the troops being re moved from the city, asserting his belief that their departure would be a signal for the repetition of the riots of last year. It is therefore expected that the troops sent will be from other portions of the State. the Governor of Pennsylvania has earnestly appealed to the neople to volunteer for short ser v ice Philadelphians for not and rather reproaches the Iphians displaying more alacrity in responding to his first call. There is no further reliable news fr om General Sherman's army. A Memphis despatch, h owever, states that the Federais were preparing for an immediate advance against Atlanta. Advices from the south-west report all quiet at Little Rock and Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas. The rest of the State, however, W4S overrun by Confederate guerrillas.

BRITISH FISHERIES.—The return of the herring fishery of 1863 shows a total of 654,816 barrels cured, 276,880 branded, and 407,761 exported. The num bers aro considerably less than in 1862, which was an ex traordinary year, but it cannot be said that the fishing of 1863 was a short one. The experiment of fishing for her rings upon the ocean coasts in winter was repeated, and extended, with success. The returns of the cod and ling fishery show an increase in the quantity cured dried, which was 129,725 cwt, and also in the total quantity exported, which rose to 53,736 cwt. The little:success experienced at Rockall in 1862 prevented vessels being fitted out last sea son to fish there; and further experience has shown that the high anticipations formed of Rockall for the fishing of cod and ling were illusory, and that its exposed position and other disadvantages will prevent its ever becoming the valuable fishing bank which at one time it was expected t o be. In the year 1833 13,191 boats, manned by 43,358 fishermen and boys, were employed in the herring and cod and ling fisheries, and the estimated value of the boats, nets, and lines was £545,724—an increase in boats and their value as compared with the previous year, but a decrease of 150 in the number of hands. Boats and nets are improv ing, and fishermen are becoming more thrifty and a better conducted clues of mtn. DR. SILVE6TEIt'S PL4,11 FOR RECOVERY OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.—Pace the patient on a flat surface, face upinost, the shoulders being supported by a cushion or any article of dress at hand. Draw forward the patient's tongue, and fix it by passing an elastic band or piece of string over the tongue and under the chin. Then the operator, who places himself at the patient's head, grasps the arms just above the elbows, and draws them gently and steadily upwards above the head, where they are to be kept for two seconds. The cheat being thus expanded air (` nature abhors a vacuum') rushes into the lungs. The patient's arms are next to be turned down, and pressed for two seconds against the sides of the chest. Air is thereby pressed out of the lungs, and, by repeating this process about fifteen times in a minute, natural breathing may re turn. On that happy sign appearing, heat and stimulants to the circulation are to be applied.—Cha2nbers's Journal. SIR HUGH ROSE'S PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.— Still speculating on the probable successor of Sir Hugh * Rose as Commander-in Chief in India, the Indian journals now speak with great confidence of Sir Sydney Cotton as the man.

BEES AND THE HONEY HARVEST.---A " Bee master" writes to the Tinges—" I have ten stock. hives. I never destroy pr kill mybees. I look on the system of the sulphur match as barbarous and unprofitable. I leave each family on an average not less than 251 b of honey for their winter stores, and the surplus only I take away. Should any hive swarm, which I • can generally pre vent, and the remaining stock be therefore deficient pro vision for the winter, I feed them in the course of the early spring with barley-sugar. This and other little attentions endear the bee-master to his bees, as they are very susceptible of gratitude and have long memories. A hive is very like a church—when, in May, it increases rapidly in numbers and the temperature rises inside, you either increase their accommodation in area or in height, or you will have a secession. Should a secession take place, bees set an example ecclesiastics might copy. The new church never falls out with the old one. Side by side they work in perfect harmony, bglieving there is plenty of food for both. The only incidental mischief maker is the wasp ; whether he be prelate or presbyter I cannot say, but I know well he is a thief and intruder, and after a fight the bees, who in this matter are rigid with her royal ladies, who never turTandestthsoi metni:uroylnabygsaiial backs non-intrusionists, eject, maim, or kill him—and ho de serves it.

This season I shall have nearly 2001 b weight of surplus honey, and yet leave in each hive more than enough to last the producers till April, 1865. Why should not cottagers cultivate bees?
