By the use of his " Spanish Meal" any quantity of birds can be raised. The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on my system daring the last ten years proves its utility ; ihe loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which attack game) the birds have been and always are free from. This is attributable to their robust constitution and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show their beautiful plumage with hardness and close:~ of feather to the greatest advantage ; they cannot be sur passed. The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the Zoological Society's Gardens, Loudon, and his Imperial Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. G3rmains, are fed with my food.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pi,inful operation, and will support and preserve teeth chat are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

The wording of the document must leave the impression on Vie mind of the reader that this is what was intended, and it is neither mot. nor less than chat might have been exp2cti:d from the political capacity of its announced author. We can gather nothing from the press of what the dele gates will do ; and so ignorant were the electors of what their leaders had decided upon—if they are not yet awaiting circumstances—that none are publicly pledged to the support of any candidate, and almost the only restriction was in the few cases they were directed on no account to vote for PENDLETON. We have given at length, and thus .commented on the platform cf the Chief Justice, because we be lieve it to be drawn up by himself, and to be there fore a document of great importance which cannot fail whether adopted in part, in whole, or appa rently left unnoticed by the Convention, to have its influence on the delegates ; and the closer we look into it the better we like it. Every indication shows that the party must drop " dead issues," and make a great advance. At present they are almost without a platform, and although they may be truly represented in the article on Democracy in last Saturday's Spectator—if so they ought to drop the name of Conservative which rather belongs to their opponents, and take up their proper desig nation of Radical. If they would not merely adopt CHASE'S platform, but show their intention of work ing on it when they come into power, there would soon be a grand resuscitation of Democracy, and living and enduring principles would be substitutel .for " dead and obsolete issues."

The delegates to the Democratic National Con vention will this day organise ; and conjecture and suspense will soon be at an end. Neither the nomi nees nor the platform are as yet mo-e than vaguely conjectured. Never was a great party so completely at fault—never was a rats -run wherein the public were less able to select a favourite. PENDLETON is unfound on Finance--CHASE is a Republican and unsound on suffrage—HoßATto SEYMOUR will not stand—indeel h is said that he dare not, having been warned by his physicians against subjecting his mind to the furious excitement of a Presidential campaign. If Mr. SEY3IOUR could and would stand he best answers the Democratic requirements. ANDREW JOHNSON is talked of ! but in a recent interview with CHASE lying rumour tells us he ex pressed himself as favouring the nomination of the Chief Justice, and desirous of aiding it with the means at his disposal. Generals HANCOCK, M'CLEL LAN, SHERMAN, and THOMAS; Admiral FARRAGUT ; Messrs. HENDRICKS, HOFFMAN, and hundreds of others are suggested ; but CHASE, whether he has a chance or not, is still the man most talked of. Many of the leading Democratic journals have pro nounced against him ; and the World, on the 15th June, opposed him on the ground that he regarded Negro Suffrage as a blessing instead of as an atro cious though perhaps inevitable blunder. The platform of the Chief Justice has been given in an authoritative manner by the Spring field Republican, and it is said to have been drawn up by Mr. CHASE infuse] f .* The first plank is thoroughly well put in, and shows a master hand. We would like fully to understand what the word Democratic, as it there stands, is intended to mean. No .Republican denies that Universal Suffrage is ayecognised Democratic prin ciple, to be qualified only by known unfitness, say, from vice or dense ignorance. Indeed we may go further, and maintain that it is an acknowledged principle among all that suffrage should b. 3 universal, wherever mankind is qualified to exercise it. To state, then, that it is a recognized Democratic prin ciple, of which each State must define the limita tions, is not to say much ; and although it looks liberal in scope, and broad and general in applica tion, it might be adopted by any clique of Old World Tories. All the people of the United States might stand on the rest of the platform, with the exception of the " War-horses," whose extreme Re publicanism enters the confines of despotism. If the Convention accepts the platform, and nomi nates the Chief Justice, it will go to the country with a good man and a good cry. No one can doubt what Mr. CHASE means by " fulfilling na tional obligations honestly and exactly." Old Green backs is committed to advocate the payment of the National Deht in gold, and, as far as the bond holders are concerned, the best President they could have would be SALMON CIIASE. No special privilege should be allowed to any classes of individual corporations. If such are permitted they may as well establish an oligarchy at once. Were certain cliques in the United States granted powers enabling them to mulct their fellow citizens no Atneric.tn could discuss with scorn the cmdition of society in the old country, w hi c h permits the social distinctions. of a titled class. SMITE' is not injured by JOHNNY RUSSELL being called a "lord," but SMITH is injured if JOHNNY RUSSELL levies a tax upon him for his Lordship's own benefit. What the special privileges are to which the Chief Justice alludes, we can Only guess at. The holders of the United States Debt are not an individual corpora tion, and as he himself fixed the terms whicU gua ranteed interest payable in gold to the lenders, he cannot class the observance of the National Con tract as a " special privilege." But what about the manufacturers ? Can the iron-masters of Pennsyl vania be called " individual corporations," and be said to enjoy " a special privilege" in the protection of their industry ? It looks uncommonly like the gauntlet of Free Trade. We believe that the best card of the Democrats next to the Northern prejudice against the negro is the open advo cacy of Free Trade. if CHASE'S platform means the obliteration of every vestige in the South of the civil war except the individual ruin wrought, the blood spilt, and the hatred en gendered, which cannot be obliterated by any legis ltahtieon—i of the Civil Service, betterf it means the payment of the the National Debt in gold, the inauguration of free trade, and the most ea rn Eat endeavours of the inthe Su Government so to harmonise the white and black may live together in races each, with the guarantee of freedom and equality peace, and find o theti that position they that nature intends for before thelaw—then, we say, that if itbe the platform this day erected in New York it is a solid and en during structure, and the flag unfurled is one under which all shades of Americans, both as to opinion Universal suffrage is a recognised Democratic prin ciple, the application of which is to be left in the several States under the Constitution of the United States to the States themselves. Universal amnesty and the complete removal of the late rebellion, is not only a wise and just measure of public policy, but is essentially necessary to the beneficial administration of the Government in the States recently involved in civil war with the United States, and to the full and satisfactory re-establishment of the practi cal relations of those States with the other States of the American Union. No military Government in any State of the Union, in time of puce, is compatible with the prin ciples of civil liberty established by the Constitution, nor can the trial of private citizens by military commissions be tolerated by a people jealous of their freedom and deserv ing to be free. Taxes should be reduced, as far as prac ticable, collected impartially and with strict economy, and so apportioned as to bear upon property rather than upon labour, while all national obligations should be honestly and exactly fulfilled, and no special privilege should be allowed to any classes of individual corporations.

COOPER, Sec. 85 Queen-street, Cheapside. PONTIFICAL BULL OF CONVOCATI6N. ROME, July 1. The publication of the Pontifical bull convoking an (Ecumenical Council of the Bishops of the Catholic. Church on the Bth December, 1869 (festi val of the Immaculate Conception), took place yes terday morning, in the atrium of the Vatican Basilica. The College of Apostolic Protonotaries, accompanied by a Pontifical chamberlain and the Apostolic messengers, were present at this cere mony. One of the protouotaries ascended a pulpit erected near the great gate of the Basilica, his colleagues sitting within, and after a fanfare of trumpets read aloud the Pontifical bull of convoca tion, two copies of which were afterwards affixed by the messengers to the columns of the principal entrance. The same ceremony attended the publi cation of the bull at the Lateran Church, the Liberian Basilica, the Palace of the Curia Lino cenziana, the Apostolic Chancery, and the Campo di 1 icri. The text of the Pontifical Bull is as follows : "Pius, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of Gad for future Memory. " The only begotten Sari of the Eternal Father, out of the great love which He bore unto us, de scended from His celestial throne, in order to redeem in the fulness of time, the whole human race from the yoke of sin and from bondage to Satan and the darkness of terror into which, by the fault of their first parent, they had long since miserably fallen ; and He, not declining from the paternal glory, was born of the Immaculate and Most Holy Virgin Mary, and manifested His doctrine and the rule of life brought from Heaven, attesting it with so many excellent works and giving Himself up as an offering for us and as a victim to God in the odour of sanctity ; and, having vanquished death, He, before ascending into Heaven to sit upon the right hand of the Father, sent His Apostles into the world to preach the Gospel to every creature, and gave to them the power of ruling the Church pur chased by His own blood, and thus constituted what is the column and firmament ef truth ; and, enriched by celestial treasures, shows the certain path of salvation and the light of true doctrine to all people. In order, then, that the govern ment of the Church should be ever maintained in a right and well ordered course, and that the who!e Christian world should uphold one sole faith, doctrine, charity, and communion, He promised His aid unto the end of time, and chose Peter, whom He had declared to be Prince of the Apos les, His Vicar on earth and head, foundation, and centre of the Church, so that, invested with this rank and honour, and with amplitude of chief and full autho rity, power, and jurisdiction, he should feed the sheep and lambs, confirm the brethren, rule the universal Church, and be the gate-keeper of Heaven, and arbiter to bind and to loose ; ~the effect of his judgment remaining unaltered in Heaven. (S. Leo, Serra. 11.) " And that the unity and integrity of the Church and government might remain perpetually immut able, therefore the Roman Pontiffs, successors of St. Peter, sitting in this same Roman chair of Peter, inherit, and possess in full vigour the very same supreme authority, jurisdiction, and primacy of Peter over the whole Church. " Hence the Roman Pontiffs, using their pastoral care and authority over the whole flock of the Lord divinely intrusted to them by Christ Himself in the person of the Blessed Peter, have spared no fatigue in making every possible provision in order that, from the rising to the setting sun, all people and all nations should have knowledge of the evan gelical doctrine, and by walking in the way of truth and justice attain eternal life. - "It is known to all with what unwearying care the Roman Pontiffs have sought to preserve the de posit of the faith, the discipline of the clergy, and their holy and learned teachings, and the sanctity and dignity of matrimony, and to promote and ex tend the education of the youth of both sexes, to foster the religion and piety of the people and vir tuous manners, to defend justice, and to assure the tranquillity, order, prosperity, and rights of civil society. Nor have the Pontiffs ornittel, when they deemed it useful, especially in times of great per turbation and calamity for our most holy religion and civil society, to convoke general councils, to the end that, by consulting with all the bishops of the Catholic world, whom the Holy Ghost has ap pointed to rule the Lord's Church, they might, by their united strength, providentially and wisely or dain all those things that would chiefly serve to de fine the dogmas of the faith, dispel errors already propagated, or that might thenceforward be propa gated, illustrate and elucidate doctrine, uphold and reform ecclesiastical discipline, and correct the cor rupt manners of peoples. " It is already known and manifest to all how horrible a tempest now agitates the Church, and what grievous ills afflict civil society. The Catholic Church, her salutary doctrine, her venerated power, and the supreme authority of this Apostolic See, are opposed and set at naught by the bitter enemies of God and man. All sacred things are contemned, ecclesiastical property is plundered, bishops and honoured men attached to the Divine ministry, and men distinguished for their Catholic sentiments, are troubled in every way, and religious families suppressed. Impious books of every kind, pestilent journals, and multitudinous and most pernicious sects are spread abroad on all sides. The educa tion of the unhappy young is nearly everywhere withdrawn from the clergy, and, what is worse, is in many places confided to masters of impiety and error. " Thus, to our poignant grief, and that of all good men, and with mischief to souls that can never be sufficiently deplored, impiety and corruption of manners have everywhere propagated themselves ; and there prevails an unbridled license and a contagion of depraved opiniono, of all kinds, and of all vices and immoralities, and so great a violation of Divine and human laws, that not only our most holy religion, but human society also, is thereby miserably disturbed and afflicted. In the heavy accumulation of calamities whereby our heart is thus oppressed, the supreme postal charge con fided to us requires that we should ever increas ingly exert our strength to repair the ruin of the Id. STAMIL'i , A) 51. Church, to hc,l the soul 3 of the Lorl's flock, awl o repel the a'saults and fatal attempts of those who striv...! to uproot fro:u their foundvion, if that were pos , ibl, both the Church arid civil socie`y. A.nd tru!y, by the help of God, from the commence- luent of our PontificAte, we, conscious of our solemn obligation, lave never ceased to raise our voice in our c:msiitoral allocations and Apostolic letters, and to defend constantly by owery effort the CAUSC of God and Illsly Church, confided onto us by the Lord Christ, to uphold the rights of Clis Apostolic See, and of justice and truth, and to unmask the inz , idious devices of its enemies, to condemn errors and false doctrines, to prescribe impious sects, awl to watch over and provide for the salvation of all the Lord's flock. And following the practice of our illustrious predecessors, we have deemel it opportune to assemble a general council, which we have already long desired, of all our venerable brethren, the bishops of the whole Catholic world, who are now called to take part in our solicitude. These our venerable brethren, prompted by the warmest love for the Catholic Church, and remarkable for eminent piety and for reverence towards us and this Apostolic See, and anxious also for the salva tion of souls, and excellent in wisdom, in doctrine, and erudition, and greatly lamenting with us the grierous condition.of sacred and profane things, they will hold nothing more precious than to com municate to us their judgment, and to confer with us in order to provide saluttay remedies for so many calamities. " All these things have to be most carefully examined and regulated in this (Ecumenical Coun cil, more particularly with regard to - all -that in these evil times concerns the greater glory of God, the integrity of the faith, the respect for Divine worship, and the eternal salvation of men, the discipline of the orders of the clergy, and their solid and salutary training, the observance of eccle siastical laws, the amelioration of manners, the education of Christian youth, and the peace and concord of all. And further, the Council must seek by anxious study that by the help of God all ills may be removed from civil society, that erring wanderers may be led back into the right way of truth, and that vice and error may be eliminated, our august religion and her salutary doctrine may everywhere be quickened by fresh life, and may still further extend their influence, and thus piety, honesty, probity, justice, cha rity, and all the Christian virtues, may gather strength and flourish to the great benefit of human society. None can ever deny that the strength of the Catholic Church and her doctrine does not z.lohe regard the eternal sa'vation of men, but is essential also to the temporal welfare of peoples, and to their real prosperity, order, and tranquillity, and even to the progress and solidity of hum in science, as the annals of sacred and profane history clearly prove by a series of splendid facts and still constantly de monstrates. And since Christ the L' so greatly consoles and comforts us with those words, " For when two or three are gathered together in my name there I sin in the midst of them,"* we cannot doubt that, in the abuldauce of his divine mercy, Ile would vouchsafe to be present at this council, in which we shall be able to establish those things that in any way r. gard the welfare of his Holy Church. " Therefore, after most fervent prayer offered up day and night in the humility of our heart to God the Father of light, we have judged it to be expe dient that this council should be assembled. For this cause, strong in the authority of God the Father Almighty, the Son, and the Ifuly Ghost, and of the lloly Apostles, Peter and Paul, which authority we represent on earth, we, with the council and consent of our venerable brethren the qardinals of the Iloly Roman Church, by these present letters announce, convoke, and ordain the sacred ( - I:caine.nic,l and General Coanc . l to be holden in that our City of Rome in the coming year, 1869, in the Vatican I.l.i ? iiica, commencing upon the Bth of December, sacred to the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, and to be prose cuted and con_lucted to its termination by the help of God, to his glory, and to the salvation of all Christian peoples. "We therefore desire and command that our venerable brethren, the patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, as also our beloved sons, the abbots, and all others who, by right or privilege, are entitled to sit in general councils and to manifest their opinion s to the same, should from all parts repair to this. (Ecumenical Council, convoked by us and to this effect we invite, exhort, and adoaonish them both in virtue of the oath they have taken to us and this lloly See, and of holy ol)edience, and under the penalties by law or custom decreed against those who fail to appear at the councils. We rigorously ordain and prescribe that they shall be bound to attend this sacred council unless with held by some just impediment,* which, however, must in all cases be proved to the Synod by the in termediary of legitimate proxies. " We cherish the hope that God, in whose hands are the hearts of men, showing himself favourable to our desire, may grant that, by his ineffable mercy and grace, all the supreme princes and go vernors, more especially Catholic, of all nations, growing daily more conscious of the immense bene fits which human society derives from the Catholic Church, and knowing that the Church is the most stable foundation of empires and kingdoms, not only will not impede our venerable brethren the bishops and others from attending this council, but will rather aid and favour this object, and co-operate zealously, as becomes Catholic princes, in all that may result to the greater glory of God arid the benefit of this council. "To the end that these our letters and the things therein contained may come to the know ledge of all whom it may concern, and that no person may be able to plead ignorance of the same, and as, possibly, they might not securely reach all those to whom they may be per. sonally addressed, we desire and command that the present letters be read publicly and audibly by the messengers of our Curia or some public notary in Lateran, Vatican, and Liberian Basilicas. After having been read, they shall be affixed to the doors of the said churches. the gates of the Apostolic Chancery, in the usual place in the Campo di Fiori, and in other public places, where they will remain for some time, for the information of all. When the originals shall be removed they will be replaced by copies in the same places. In view of such lec tures, publication, and exhibition, we ordain that., two mouths from the date of publication and post ing of our letters, all and each of those whom they may concern will be bound thereby equally as if they had been read and communicated to them per sonally. We further order and decree that copies of these letters, written or signed by a public notary, and bearing the seal of some ecclesiastical dignitary, may be accepted as perfectly authentic. "No man will be at liberty to oppose or rashly contravene this our indiction, announcement, con vocation, statute, decree, command, precept, and invitation. And if any shall presume to attempt this, let him know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God, and of his blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.

L 44S (Here follow the signatures of the Cardinals.) The following description has been given by Lieutenant Prideaux, of the spoils now exhibiting at the South Ken sington Museum :—" The blue silk embroidered robe was intended by Theodore as • a present to her Majesty ;o accompany the embassy he desired to send to England. In Abyssinia it is called a burnoos,' and s only worn by ladies of the highest rank when on the nareb. The silver slippers were also intended to be pre- Panted to her Majesty. The damask silk tube was made ately by order of Theodore, and worn by him on the Bth tlpril only, when he received the captives who descended 'rom Magdala to Salamgc , by his orders. It was then .:robably put on for effect, as he wished much to sncourage his soldiers that morning. The crimson velvet ;rown was made by Theodore's orders at the time of his ,oronation at Axum. It was net worn by him for several years before his death. The red cloth cap is simply a Turkish tarboosb,' covered with silver gilt filagree work. It was never worn by Theodore, to my knowledge. The large seal bearing the inscription in Amharic,' Theodorus, King of the Kings of Ethiopia,' and a similar one in Arabic, was that used by him on all his letters. The two small silver seals were probably the property of the Metropolitan. One, the larger, bears an inscription in atic and Arabic, and is about 200 years old. the smaller is of recent manufacture, not more than ten years, and bears an Arabic inscription." THEODORE'S HOUSEHOLD AND PRIVATE LIFE. An interesting letter has been published in a contem- porary from Dr. Blanc, from which we make a few axtracts :—" Theodore was more bigoted than religious. Above all things he was superstitious, and that to a degree incredible in a man in other respects so superior to his countrymen. He had always with him several astro• lovers, whom he consulted on all important occasions— especially before undertaking any expedition and whose influence over him was unbounded. He hated the priests, despised them for their ignorance, spurned their doctrines, laughed at the marvellous stories some Df their books contain, but still never marched without tent church, a host of priests, defteras, and deacons, and never passed near a church without kissing its threshold. Though he could read and write, he never conde scended to correspond personally with anyone, but was. always accompanied by several secretaries, to whom he would dictate his letters ; and. so wonderful was his memory that he would indite an answer to letters re ceived months, nay years, before, or dilate on subjects Ind events that had occurred at a far remote period. When he made any lengthened stay at a place he had huts erected by his soldiers for himself and people, and the whole was surrounded by a double line of fences. Though not wanting in bravery, he never left anything to ehance. At night the hillock on which he dwelt was corn• oletely surrounded by musketeers, and he never slept with out having his pistols under his pillow and several loaded guns by his side. He had a great fear of poison, taking no food that had not been prepared by the queen or het ronp/acant, and even then she and several attendants had to taste it first. He made, however, an exception in our favour one day that he visited Mr. Rassam at Gaffat. To thew how much he respected and trusted the English, he accepted some brandy ; allowing no one to taste it before him, he unhesitatingly swallowed the whole draught. Theodore was always an early riser ; indeed, he nilulged in sleep but very little. Sometimes at two o'clock, at the latest before four, he would issue from his tent and give judgment on any case brought before him. Of late his temper was such that litigants kept out of his way ; he nevertheless retained his former habits, and would be seen long before daylight sitting luite alone on a stone, in deep meditation or in silent prayer. He was also very abstemious in his food, and never indulged in excesses of the table. He rarely pal tick of more than one meal a day, which was composed of sujera—the pancake loaves made •,f the small seed of the teff—and red pepper during fast days ; of writ, a kind of curry made of fish, fowl, or mutton, on ordinary occasions. On feast days he generally gave large dinners to his officers, and some times to the whole army. Unfortunately for Theodore, he had for several years before his death greatly taken to drink. Up to three or four o'clock he attended to the business of the day ; and till then was generally sober ; but after his afternoon siesta he was invariably more or less intoxicated. In his dress he was generally very simple, wearing only the ordinary shama (white cotton cloth, with a red border, woven in • the country), native-made trousers, and a European white shirt ;to shoes, no covering to the head. His rathez Long hair—for an Abyssinian—was divided in three large plaits, and allowed to fall on his neck in three plaited tails. Of late he had greatly neglected his hair ; 'or months it had not been plaited ; and to show the grief he felt on account of the badness' of his people, he wouldnot allow it to be besmeared with the heavy coating of butter in which Abyssinians delight. On one occasion he apolo gised to us for the simplicity of his dress. During the lifetime of We first wife, and for some time afterwards, Theodore not only led a. most exemplary life, but forbade the officals of his household and the chiefs more imme liately atou:ld him to live in concubinage. One day in the beginning of 1860 Theodore perceived in a church s handsome young girl silently praying to her patron, the Virgin Mary. Struck with her beauty and modesty, he made inquiries about her, and was informed that she was the only daughter of Deja,tch Oubi6, the Prince of Tigre, his former rival, whom he had dethroned, and who was then his prisoner. He asked for her hand, and met with a polite refusal. The young girl desired to retire to a convent, and devote herself to the service of God. Theodore was not a man to be easily thwarted in his desires. He proposed to Oubie that he would set him at liberty, only retain. ing him in his camp as his guest,' should the prince pre vail on his daughter to accept his hand. At last Woizero Tournish (` you are my sister') sacrificed herself for her old - ather's welfare, and accepted the hand of a man whom she could not love. This union was unfortunate. Theodore, to his great disappointment, did not find in his second wife the fervent affection, the almost blind devotion, of the dead companion of his youth. Woizero Tournishwas proud ; she always looked on her husband as a parvenu,' and took no trouble to hide from him her want of regard and affection. In the afternoon, Theodore, as it had been his former habit, tired and weary, would retire for rest in the queen's tent., But he found no warm welcome there. His wife's looksi were cold and full of pride ; and she even went so far a, to receive him without the common courtesy due to her king: One day when he came in she pretended not to perceive him, did not rise, and remained silent to his polite inquiries as to her health and welfare. She was holding in her hand a book of psalms, and when Theodore asked her why she did not answer him, she calmly replied, without lifting up her eyes from the book she held, Because I am conversing with a greater and better man than you, the pious King David. Theodore sent her to Magdala, together with her new-born son, Alamayou (` I have seen the world') and took as his favourite a widowed lady from Gedjow, named Woizero Tamagno (a rather coarse, lascivious-looking person, the mother of five children by her former husband), who soon obtained such an ascendancy over hismindthat he publicly proclaimed that he had divorced and discarded Tournish, and that Tam agno should in future be considered by all as the queen.' `Il n'y a que le premier pas qui coute. Soon Woizero Tamagno had numerous rivals ; but she was a woman of tact. Far from complaining, she rather encouraged Theo dore in his debauchery, and instead of being displeased she would always receive him with a smile. One day she said to her fickle lord, who felt rather astonished at her forbearance, Why should Ihe jealous? I know you love but me ; what is it if you stoop now and then to pick up some flowers to beautify them by your breat 11 r Both queens and Alamayou accompanied the English army in its march back. Woizero Tamango left with feelings of gratitude for the kindness and attention she had received at the hands of the English commander in-chief, as soon as she could with safety return to her native land, Gedjow. But poor Tourmish died at Aikullet; freedom and liberty were not to be her lot. Her child, Alamayou, the son of Theodore and grandchild of Oubi6, has now reached the English shore, an orphan, an exile, but not uncared for." An establishment in Dublin is busily engaged in purchasing and shipping to Italy, by order of the Govern ment of that country, horses for breeding purposes. This week a number of first-class hunters and steeple-chasing mares were consigned to their destination. DISCOVERY. OF GOLD IN AFRlCA.—Goldfields Lave been discovered in South Africa. News comes by the Roman that " diggers" had arrived at Shoostrong, the Matjen's head kraal, whose country is rich in goldfields, and had made terms with that chief for the privilege of digging. Ma[jen bad received the party in a friendly manner and pointed out the treasure ; he also expressed himself anxious to be taken under British pro tectian. Lions were plentiful in the country, and caution with regard to them was found necessary. THE WANT OF RAIN IN IRELAND.—The want of rain is beginning to be seriously spoken of in Ireland. In consequence of the continued drought the hay harvest is extremely light (though of the best quality), and the supply of milk and butter is necessari'y curtailed, owing to the distress which cattle endure . from want of sufficient mois ture. The Freeman's Journai says that since the summer of 1798 such a season has not been known. "We hax e had no winter, and March was only equalled in its genial character by April an 1 May, in which we had nearly all sunshine and no showers." ' • * St. Matthew, chap. xviii. ver. 20.
