To the official statement of the Manager of the South 4astern Railway Company's Telegraph that their profit from t he transmission of commercial messages alone during the past Year was 5 per cent., while all their railway messages, which from some stations amounted to 20,000 messages per annum, were 'eat free. 2. To the returns of various Telegraph Companies in America, which pay, upon an average, dividends of from 8 to 10 per cent. Der annum. 3. To the returns of the Prussian Telegraphs, which show a net Drefit en commercial messages alone of 5 per cent. for the very trat year after their construction, while all official and Government intelligence is sent without charge, the Telegraphs in that kingdom being in the hands of Government. 4. To the Statement of Accounts laid before the Right Hon. the 411 h' Council about six weets ago by the old Telegraph Company, Which la the only one in full operation in this country at the present Company The se accoun t s s h ow th a t, i nc l u di ng b on uses paid by that during the past three years (amounting to the very large ',um of nearly 100,0001.), i n a dditi on t o th e ordinary dividends, the C ompany have evidently cleared little short of 20 per cent. per rrlum, and that, too, upon an enormous cost for telegraphs. The tish Company will be able to construct their apparatus at little there than one-half the cost of that at present in operation. Their arrangements in Liverpool, ,Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and other important towns, are rapidly advancing. and they hope Very shortly to commence laying down their wires on various main- Pink lines of railway, and thus to connect at first the most impor teat towns in the kingdom by means of their Telegraphs.

It is impossible to deny that the effect of free trade is to e d uce the the price of everything, to lessen the profits on all kinds of deal pr;lnd manufacturing, much to the Wary of all those who made no v i l'aion for the change, and greatly to the advantage of all those mth. e anticipated the fall, by adopting the system of buying largely at e markets, and contenting themselves with small profits. • 17 3. E. MOSES and SON have conducted their immense Clothing Outfitting Establishments upon this system for some years, e l L tr in, g with the public the savings which their i mmense ca pit a l I,C%cs them to effect in their purchases, and conte n ti ng th emse l ves k t tl l Uniform but exceedingly small profits, by which system the best i i ll !Ica in every department:of dress reach the public at a pri c e w hi c h 11 instances scarcely equals the amount a purchaser would gt W. pay for the material. The fact is, the price of cloth, which VJ R Z C L l Tuttlufactory is worth 15/.. may become 201. in tbe wholesale - . o ase, 25/. in the retail, and be sold at the rate ef 35/. before it )4 4 0 %nes the tailor, who has still to get his living profit. Messrs. E. th.," )} :'S and SON arrest the price at the maker's, buy even cheaper the the first price by taking large quantities, and baying cash, and T l l ' e ctic have the benefit of their savings. s a „, e system adopted by E. MOSES and SON has always been the un their goods are marked with the lowest price that can be a n l'en+ and this is never varied. Whether a ladies' cloak be 20s. or 4 ,7 4 , the one is as well worth the price charged as the other ; the ti elUan's coat at 50s. is as cheap at that price as the one is at and it is not too much to assert the lower priced articles are far both in material and workmanship, than can be procured 1 4 -- Z/lere. or than any one would believe until inspected, while the ir t t e l ; Priced artides for ladles, gentlemen, and children eqnal the t r . e est that can be had at any cost, of the so-called fashionable cfnen, for Messrs.

MURDER OF A WIFE BYHER HUSBAND GLOUCESTER, SATURDAY NI aerr.—Another crime of this nature, now unfortunately of too frequent occurrence in this part of the kingdom, has just been perpetrated within a few yards of our city. ' • The unhappy woman was a delicate young creature, only in her 23d year, named Esther Curtis, and the mother of her first child, about fifteen months old. She had lately been subjected to much ill-usage at the hands of her husband, a labourer, named EdmunCurtis, of Victoria-street, in this city. About seven o'clock this morning she left her home, and went direct to' the White Lion beer-shop, a, few yards distant, to confer with her husband on some matter of do mestic import. Having exhibited considerable churlish re luctance to comply with her request of a minute's conver sation, Curtis at length complied. They had scarcely -left the house, however, before the landlady, Mrs. Wilkes, was greatly alarmed by hearing the most piercing screams, pro ceeding from the garden by the site of the White Lion. Mrs. Wilkes immediately ran out, but only to return as speedily and shriek for assistance herself, im ploring- a stout young fellow, named William Kirk land, " for God sake to came out, for Curtis was mur dering his wife !" Kirkland complied ; and on running into the garden ,he found that Curtis with his left hand had seized his wife by the collar of her dregs and was forcing down her bead on the other side of an iron fencing erected to part a garden from a pathway running pars lel. Holding her in this position, with the pit of her abdomen resting upon the top rail, with Lis right fist lie was beating her in the most ferocious manner about the region of the lungs. With a view to separate him from the already senseless victim of his savage ferocity, Kirkland seized him by the collar of bit coat from behind,• but so insatiable was his brutal appetite that, retaining his hold of the unhappy woman, the brawny arm of Kirkland brought them simul taneously, to the ground. Here, moreover, great difficulty was experienced in releasing the motionless woman from his grasp; and Kirkland could scarcely prevent a repeti tion of the assault while they were upon the ground. Ad ditional assistance having, however, by this .time arrived, Curtis was forced to release his hold ; and, the necessary restraint of several neighbours, having- been applied, he - was" prevented from repeating 4i4 violence ' whilee - brandY and other restorivives were being applied by Mrs. Wilkes and others to his wife, with the hope of producing re• ani mation. Every attempt which kindness and ingenuity could suggest was made with this view, but without success; already the livid hue of death had spread over the unhappy woman's mutilated features.

Having been released from constraint, Curtis, with brutal composure had gone again into the tap-roem, and was calmly proceeding to refill his pipe with tobacco, when he was told that he had better send for a surgeon, for his wife was dying. "'Let her die and be d-, and a d-- good job too," was his brutal reply; and without further care he again sat himself down to his cups perfectly sober. In the mean time the medical assistance of Mr. Alfred Clarke, surgeon, had been procured for the woman. Mr. Clarke only arrived in time to see the woman breathe her lAst. In less than half an hour after she had entered the White Lion she was a mutilated corpse, a victim of the murderous ferocity of her husband. The body presents marks of violence round the left eye ; the immediate region of the hit temple is also discoloured by a blow, and already (10 o'clock) the body is fast assuming general discolonration. Curtis is now in custody, awaiting the result of a coroner's inquisition, to be held on Monday. Tin MILITARY.—We are pleased to find that a communication was yesterday made in the watch committee by the mayor, that the gallant general in the command of this district had issued a garrison order, that the soldiers on leaving their quarters to recreate themselves among the citi zens; shall not carry thick and heavy walking sticks, Seve ral cases have occurred, when soldiers have become inebriated, and an affray taken place with the police and soldiers, the former have been most seriously injured by the latter when in the possession of such weapons. Upon a repre sentation of such conduct by his worship the mayor, to the General in command of this district, a prompt order was issued that the soldiers should be restricted to the carrying of small canes, if they were disposed to have them.-- Plymouth Journal. Tim MANCHESTER BOILER Exmosiosr.—The in quest in this case was resumed on Saturday afternoon. John Hartley, of Ancoats, Manchester, the maker of the boiler, was examined, and stated that the price of it was 16s. per cwt., the end plates to be Al thick, and the others 5-16. It was of Thoineycroft iron, the next best to Low Moor iron. He saw the boiler working short of water ten days before the explosion, and named the fact to the engineer and to Mr. Williamson. The engineer said it was owing to a leakage; and it was agreed that the water should be let off that night and the leakage repaired, but subsequently it was deter mined to work it a short time longer, and before any repairs were done the explosion occurred. He thought the boiler would stand a pressure of 8 )Ib3. to the inch, and that the explosion was ,caused by want of water. Christopher Ray gave evi • deuce that on the 25th of March he found the boiler without water, and told Egerton of it. The safety-valve also was extra weighted to , the extent of Gibs. per square inch. D ,,_ Yid Reid, a sawyer, who was helping Egerton about the water engine at the time of the explosion, deposed to cir cumstances which plainly s%owed that there wa s no the in the boiler, and that Egerton knew it , for hetriad safety valve ; and only a blue flame or heat came out. Mr. Fairbairn, C.E., was next examined. I.le stated that, under all the circumstances, he had not the least doubt that on se e part of the engineer there had been great ignorance, reck lessness, and hue !motion, a , surning that he had as knowledge of the state of the boiler. The safety valve was of improper construction, as it might fasten by oxydation. The boiler was fed by a self-acting feeder, but it was too defective. The turning of the fly-wheel to start the engine which had been spoken of, if it were but for a revolution and a half, would cause a rush of water into the boiler upon the reit hot metal, a quantity of highly elastic steam would be generated, and the pressure become greater than the resisting power of the plates. He conceived that there Wa s a sufficiency of indi cating a pparatus about the boiler, b u t t h at the engineer had grossly neglected to attend to it. Higgins, the man who set the boiler, was called Ca, but as ho was not in attendance the inquest was again adjourned to compel his attendance, and will be resumed on Wednesday. OATH OF ABJURATION (Jaws) BILL.—The fol lowing is a copy of the Bill brought in by Lord John Russell to regulate the mode of administering the oath of abjuration to persons professing th e J ew i s h re li g i o n :—" Wh ereas h er Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion are by law capable of being elected to serve as Members of the House of Commons, and of holding divers offices in respect of which they are or may be required to take the oath of abjuration; and it is expedient to direct in what manner that oath should in all cases be administered to persons professing the said religion ; be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that whenever any one of her Majesty% subjects professing the Jewish religion shall present himself to take the said oath of abjuration the words, Upon the true faith of a Christian ' shall be omitted out of the said oath in administering the same to such person ; and the taking of the said oath by such person professing the Jewish religion, without the words aforesaid, in like manner as Jews are admitted to be sworn to give evidence in courts of justice, shall be deemed to be a sufficient taking of the oath of abjuration." POISONIVO NEAR WIPMECtI —The proceedings in this case before the Wisbech Isle magistrates, which had been adjourned from the 22d ult. to the 24th, and then to the 29th, were closed on Saturday. After a mass of evi dence had been taken the prisoner was asked what she had to state, and cautioned in the usual manner. She replied, " I think it very hard that this should be laid upon me, for I am as innocent as a new-born babe. I hope the gentlemen will consider this, and set me at liberty. Pin sure I'm inno nocent." The magistrates, however. felt it their duty to commit the prisoner for trial on the charge of pois on i ng her mistress by putting arsenic in her pudding.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ars —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of gaess than calculation. _ _ _ It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an aporoximatiou to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Claasillea don and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Of will, by a constant anal , sio of its own experience, from time to tirre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this - view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fluty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pronerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock Insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clawse.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication During the past yearno claims have arisen from deaths in BlNland. and but two in Ireland—one Mr 500 t and the other for 2nOL:zinaking together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. • - - The number of liVes assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 30. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. its. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. Ild. _ Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., bat 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in Prance, Monsieur do I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Offlcers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects. • ONE PAYMENT FOR THE WHOLE OF LIFE. rirliE RAILWAY ASSURANCE COMPANY, for granting Assurances upon Payment of a Single Premium, against Lose of Lite or other Personal Injury arising from Railway Accidents.

' SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Yesterday'S racing on the Heath elicited one or two strange facts ; one was, that Saterley, 6 yrs, 9st 51b, A. F., shduld beat Pitsford, 4 yrs, B s t 41b, f or the ' Craven Stakes, .the latter being run to a head by Little Jack, same age and weight; the redoubtable mud traveller, King Charming, at Est 61b, being fourth; the colt by Dromedary, dam by Mu latto, 3 yrs, 6st 61b, being absolutely last. The running for this stake is worth remembering. In the race for the Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 soya each, &c., Cariboo, 4 yrs, Bst 111 b, won cleverly from Reindeer, 3 yrs, Gat 71b, Merry Peal, 3 yrs, 7st 71b, and five others, including Cranbury, 4 yrs, Bst Ilb, Longinus, 4 yrs, Bst 71b, and Trinket, 3 yrs, 6st 71b. This, of course, annihilates Trinket's chance for the Column Stakes to-morrow,aud elevates Merry Peai's and Ariosto's ; according to this running Ariosto ought to win the Column, and Merry Peal be second, or third at the outside. The D. M. 50. sow. Stakes, iris won in a common canter from Coticula, who could not go the pace; this mare, as I pre dicted yesterday, will be, in fact has already become, a great pet for the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks Stakes; she is a fine mareof great size, power, and speed, and may, perchance, become a second Csnezou. — *Midas only just won the R. M. Sweepstakes from Oleander, by a neck, after cutting out all the work and swerving in the bottom; the time-1 min. 54 secs. —was not particularly crack either; he has not improved in the slightest degree on his two-year-old form, and will be of no use whattver for the 2,000 Guineas and Derby! In to-day's races, Hernandez and . Ariosto must win easily, or farewell to their Derby chances. Latest betting on the Column and Port up to noon this day:—Column Stakes, 5 to 4 on Ariosto; 3 to 1 agst Pay ment ; 5 to 1 agst Merry Peal.

Merry Peal and Cariboo then joined company, and the latter, heading his horses a few strides from home, won cleverly by a length, Merry Peal a very good third, Trinket an indifferent fourth, and the others beaten off, Run in 1 min. 49 secs: Sweepstakes of 50 sous. each, h ft. for three years old fillies, Bst 71b, those got by stallions, or out of mares that never Ur& a winner allowed 31b, if both bib.

Run in 1 min. 54 sec. The above return renders it almost unnecessary to add that the sport was as meagre as it was unimportant, and but an indifferent opening of the Newmarket season. The wea ther was fine, but cold enough to render winter clothing in dispensable, the attendance thin, and speculation dull.

PUFFING AND PUSHING. Puffing and Pushing, though orthographically similar, bear no resemblance whatever in practical meaning. Where one is warrant able and honourable, the other is unwarrantable and dishonourable. The prevalence of puffing has been very justly deprecated by the public, and has called down the anathemas of an indignant press. The etymology of the word " puffing" is familiar to everybody; and a child is aware that its meaning is neither more nor less than a "bubble fall of emptiness." The "speciousness" and apparent fea sibility of puffing have thrown a gauze over many disreputable prac tices ; and thousands have thus been deceived and injured to a se rious extent. The validity of such a system in business is, however, soon tested, and its depth easily sounded. A trial is sufficient to lay bare its superficial character; and as a discerning public have no particular inclination for deceptions and double-dealings, the dishonourable practices are abandoned, and their promoters left to their deserts. In an age of advertising like the present, it behoves the public to use the utmost discrimination, and to weigh well the many assertions put forth, in order to ascertain which is the mere gilt and which is the solid metal. That "all is not gold which glitters" is proverbial, and this axiom is particularly applicable to those false representations and artful blandishments in trade, the prevalence of which call so loudly for public reprobation. A system of pushing (which is simply a practice of public appeal) can suffer nothing by cossmarieon with that already considered. The test which proves the hollowness of the one—ls equally effective in demonstrating the solidity of the other. A trial will expose the ephemeral character of the former and the durability of the latter. Pushing in trade is but publishing : while puffing, on the other hand, is emphatically profession without practice—promise without performance. The public having applied the gauge to Hyam and Company's sys tem, have acknowledged a unanimous acquiescence in its favour, and have evinced this in a manner not to be mistaken. The advertisements of L. Hyam and Co. are merely a programme —a libretto of what is actually performed at the proprietors' esta blishments; and the present Spring Stock is a further substantiation of this assertion. Such a stock is unquestionably the most superior which Hyam and Co. have had the honour of preparing daring the quarter of a century which has elapsed since their commencement. If novelty, elegance, and durability of material, originality of de sign, grace, neatness, and adjustment of fit, and firmness and beauty of workmanship, are recommendations in the tailoring trade, then, indeed, do Hymn and Co. appear before the public in a favourable light. The grand Bazaar, during which there will be a convention of countries—a congregation of kindred—has influenced all art—all in dustry ; and by am and Co. have failed not to embrace the favour able opportunities thus afforded. The proprietors have made the most of the markets, and have im proved their purchases by engaging as their employ es the first-class artistes and the best workmen which liberal emolument could pro cure. This is a plain and unernbelliehed statement of facts : and Hyam and Co. feel assured that their reputed accuracy will secure them an audience of a candid and discerning public.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill positively vacates the super intendentship of the Deptford Dockyard, on proraotion. Captain Milne, one of th; Lords of the Admiralty, will not succeed him, as reported ; but it is believed that the appoint. ment will be conferred on one of the most popular captains in the navy— an officer who is a C. 8., was formerly at the Admiralty, and has recently paid off one of the happiest ship's companies that ever sailed under the royal pendant. Arollo, S. troop-sloop, Commander Rawstorne, with the 92d Regiment, arrived at Corfu.on the 27th March, after a favourable passage of 18 dap, from Cork; but in consequence of a case of meaalei, and another of small-pox, the ship had been put in quarantine'for a week, much to the annoyance of the troops. Diligence store transport, Mitchell master, arrived at De vonport from Woolwich on Friday, took in some stores on .Saturday, and sailed on Sunday morning for Bermuda. - Magicienne new steam-sloop, at Devonport, having had her ballast re-stowed, was again taken out to sea on Thurs day, in charge of Mr.. Brown, master-attendant, and returned on Friday aftenoon. She is said to have answered much better, carrying her sails and standing up more stiffly, &c. ; but it must be recollected that it was in an easy breeze and smooth water. Rh adarn an th us " steam-transport, Master-Commander Belam, had 'her defects made good, was paid advance on Saturday; and sailed from Devonport in the evening for the Cape. Duck lighter, Savage, master, arrived at Devonport with stores from Woolwich on Saturday. WOOLWICII, Amu, 7.—The Rattler, 6, screw steam-sloop, of 200-horse ,power, Compander Arthur Cumming, arrivectat Iftiolwitela, - at two o'clock, frbm the Coast of Africa, and is to be paid off at this port. having been in commission since the 12th of February, 1849. Lieutenant Leckie, with - a part of the crew of the Penelope steam-frigate, arrived at Woolwich on Friday last to navi gate the Teazer steam-vessel to Portsmouth. She will- then accompany the Penelope to the coast of Africa, and serve as a tender to that vessel. The Teazer is now barque-rigged, her former commander, Lieutenant Selwyn, having suggested the alteration •from two to three masts to render her a better sailer when her steam is not used. The Birkenhead steam troop-ship, Master-Commander Robert Salmond, will leave Woolwich, with four companies of Royal artillery on board, on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning for Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada. The baggage of the comrianies arrived at the dockyard this afternoon, and the companies are to embark on Wednesday.

FRACAS BETWEEN MR. SERGEANT WILRINS AND BARON PLATT.-0.1 Saturday the monotony of the' Nisi Pries Court at the assizes was enlivened by a little legal fencing between the Learned Judge and the leading* barrister. Daring the trial of the cause " mistead v. Wilde," Mr. Sar geant Wilkins put a question rather sharply to a witness called by him on behalf of the plaintiff, when Mr. Baron Platt reminded the Learned Sergeant that he was examining his own witness. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" I admit, my Lord, it is my own witness, but we all well know that very frequently our own witnesses are not favourable witnesses." Mr. Baron Platt—" That is not ' the mode •in which witnesses ought to be treated, because they are to be protected as well as yourselves." Mr. Sergeant Wilkias—" Good God ! What have I said to call for protection ?" Mr. Baron Platt —" The manlier of addressing the witness is not such a manner as a witness ought to . be addressed in." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins — "I am sure the witness himself did not so feel it. I have been spoken to by others above me with ten times less courtesy." Mr. Baron Platt—" I Fops you will have no more." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" Eight or ten times these assizes I have been spoken to in this way. lam not to be schooled and rated." Mr. Baron Platt--" You are not to be schooled and rated, but when you are irregular in your man ner or conduct I shall interfere." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins— " I submit to your Lordship that I was not irregular either in manner or conduct." Mr. Baron Platt—"Of that lam the best judge." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" You are a j udge." Mr. Baton Platt—" And I shall not forget how to act as a udge." Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—" And I s hall not for g et that lam a barrister and a man." Subsequently, on the re-examination, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins inquired of the wit ness whether he thought he (Mr. W.) haddniod not.—Liner pool treated him with proper courtesy, to which he replied be pool Albion. CURIOUS POTATOES..---WS are favoured by Col lector. Campbell, of the Inland Revenue here, with half-a dozen specimens of a most curious description of potato, which, as far as our information enables us to judge. seems to be a new variety—new at least in this locality. They bear some resemblance to the kidney kind, but grow so long and twist into such extraordinary shapes as to prove themselves a different race from kidney. They taper away at the ends, and form a very close resemblance to a snake, the head, eyes, and mouth being remarkably well developed. Two of the spe-imens before us are twisted like a snake coiled up and sleeping, the head resting up the tail. All that we can learn of the history of the potatoes is, that they were ob tained from a person in the neighbourhood of Elgin ; but whether they were gro wn b y him or obtained from abroad we have no means of learning. A sin g l e spec i men got last year by Mr. Cogan, officer of the revenue here, was planted, and produced at the rate of seventeen-fold, all sound and good.— Inverness Courier.
