" Our first consideration was the manure. It is as true with relation to our smaller concerns as to a greater, that the more manure, the more green crops ; the more green crops, the more stock ; the more stock, the more manure.' There are two tanks, well flagged and cemented, well closed, so that not a drop can ooze out. One is connected with the house, and the other with the cottage and cow-house, receiving all their drainage of every kind. A barrel on wheels stands at the back door to receive all the slops, soap-suds, cabbage water, &c., and this liquid manure is wheeled away, and applied where it is wanted. There is a compost pit at the back of the kitchen garden; and a compost heap behind some young trees at the bottom of the field. What with the clippings; and 'weedings, and sweepings, and no thing being wasted, the pit being kept clean, and the cow=house swept out twice a day, we have abundance of manure (without buying any whatever), which ac counts for the abundance of our crops thus far. One instance of Any servant's passion for economy amused me so much that-it seems worth telling you. Early one morning, returning from my walk, I looked in -upon the pig, just when hie breakfast was approach ing. in another direction. I said to Robert, ' I think . piggy rooks very well, only that he wants a washing.' -‘ Mks, ma'am,' said Robert, 'that will be to-morrow. To-morrow,is svahing day, and the suds will wash tee pi; first, and then be as good, and better, for minute'; and thee th? soap serves three times over.' " Qur availahle ground is of pasture, 3 roods, 28 perches ; and of tilled ground, 1 rood, 15 perches. ;There are besides, About 26 perches of grass in the little plarktveion, orchard, and slope, which yield some fresh grass when mowed in summer. I shall turn up a little more ground this : spring' 'in order to provide completely for the maintenance of two cows, though I cannot encroach much more upon the grass, tin account of tjaa viewa from the win dows. But for this we should ,give our cows no grass, or Ley, which are the mast expensive kinds of food. Our soil is good; neither very rich nor veyy.light ; laying at varying depths upon lime stone. Aluch of our newly-dug portion was full of atones. Oar neighbours advised us to cover them up again, bum we judged differently. I thought we might ae well make drains of the new pathways we must have, so, by deep digging, we obtained drains, and the large stones were thus disposed of. Some inure were carted out to mend the roads, and when thy s'ervitit was in despair at there being yet more, it occurred to bin to dig out good earth from corners Of the plantatioe, and supply its place with stone, He aotually dug pits breast deep for the purpose. "His digging for crops was not less than two spits deep, dug straight down, and the whole was richly manured. The ground being ready, our method is this :--s - "In August we sow cabbage seed, and by the end of September we begin to set out the young plants, about 400 pei - vieek, fur 'six weeks, to secure a suc cession. 'We set them in rows, the plants being eleven inches apart, and the rows a yard apart. In March • and April • we, sow swedes and beets in alternate : rows, between the rows of cabbages. the tinke wo begin to cut the cabbages, trie turnips and beets are pest the danger of the. fly, and - may be thinned--the removal of the cabbages letting in air and sunshine. We also keep a portion of ground for Belgian carrots, which afford excellent cow food. We succeeded less with these this year than with our other crops, from their not being sufficiently thinned. But we had 25 stone of them, and four or five carrots per day were very acceptable to the cows. By the end of March the cows can get a bite in the pasture, and the moorings of grates in the orchard, &to, ere brought to them fresh. While the pasture is shut up for hay the cabbages begin to ripen. They weigh from 41bs. to 121h5., andeech cow eats about 18 par day. This is their fJod from June to November, with such grazing as they get after our hay-makiug, and a handful or two per day of Indian meal, scalded and given with their grass. The pasture having been well manured in the winter and wonderfully retrieved by good care, yielded more than a ton and a half of the finest hay. This year, I think, I shall try for a second crop, as we have abundance, of manure. But last year I had half the pasture hurdled off, and the cows let out for some time every fine day to graze, the one-half' for one fortnight, and the other the next. By the time the grass and cabbages were done, we bad laid in less than we hope to produce this year, but a fair amount of crops—for the cows one and a half ton of hay, 25 stone of Belgian carrots, and at least 10 cwt. of Sweden and beet. "" We laid out too much of our ground for house hold vegetables, having bad a surplus after the fol lowing supply :—Fine green peas—from the 12th of line till, the middle of September —peas, lettuces, radishes, spinach, turnips, and carrots, and onions, enough for the whole winter—five or six stone of early potatoes, vegetable marrow, a few cueumbers, abundance of cauliflowers, broccoli, and cabbages, and plenty of rhubarb and gooSeberries. A strawberry bed is laid out, too, and we 'are ,te e have plenty of apple ,and pear* arid cherries, and damsons, here aftr. We used epongh green vegetables for a fafuily ,et, five perspns for the whole summer and ttTha average yielded' the cows is about ten quarts peledey. each—is e, about four pounds of butter per lette-k.e e' '.he skimmed' mrik is eagerly bought, being as. rood as I used to buy for new milk. The butter milk improves our bread 'and 'daces very much, and the pig has what we do not use. The cows give Six teen quarts per trays Thr - sat3e - ti'ine after calving, and are d t", ry ,e about thre . innrtiV3 betbie. 'One' co* calved in Ostober, and we sold the calf (a Cdweealf) for a guinea at the end of a fortnight.' The same cow is to olteis aK t airk September:*si,the other in £day, and thue a continued ,supply ofnnilk is ,provided Tor. We kill two pigs; in a year, and selling half each time, get our hams end so much bacon as we want for little or nothing: What we have to buy is three barrels of Indian meal in a year (at an average of 16s. each), some of which we use ourselves for puddings and cakes, and which goes far towards feeding the fowls; a few trusses of wheat straw after harvest (when it is cheapest) to chop and mix with the cows' boiled turnip food in'winter, a few pennyworths of grain per week, and two, or three loads of turnips after Midsummer, and perhaps a little (hut a very little) hay. As I con sider that the cows maintain the man, this expenditure is ,ell that I have to make in return for our large supply of vegetables, pork, bacon, and hams, eggs, and a few fowls, our gardening, and the keeping of the whole ground in high order, and, moreover, throegh tbe,geod nature of my excellent servant, our window-cleaning and coal-shifting. T'ee cow-house is, as I said, swept out (into the entrance of the tank) twice a day ; and it is white - washed twicea year. Thecows are rubbed down daily, aed kept almost as sleek as horses. Both are now in much liner condition than when they came. They were lather restless for a few weeks, after first coming from the fell ; hut they seem now perfectly happy, and when out in the field they return to the stable of their own accord to avoid rains, heat, or fli es . Their food in winter is each a stone of turnips thr ee times a day; the turnips being shred, and boiled with chopped wheat-straw, a little hay, a handful of salt, and 'a double handful of Indian mesl, or somewhat more ! : of derail. 2.hey may have, besides, to amuse themselves with, a few raw turnips and two or three handfuls of hay per day." DEATH FROM A BATHING MACHlNE.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Carter, the coroner, at the Green Dragon, Belvidere -read. Lambeth, on the body of Benjamin Chambe lain, aged two years and a half. who was killed in s most singular and distressing manner. Mrs. Oldfield, wife of Mr. Thomas Albion Oldtield, of 7, Thornhill -road, Islington, stated that the deceased was her nephew, and lived with his parents at 36, Belvidere-road, Lambeth. On Friday week they were all at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, where they en gaged a machine for a bathe. After they had been in the water, the deceased was standing on one of the steps when the machine went on, and he was thrown on his head against a beam. The next day there was a contused wound on it, which was poulticed at Brighton, but, on reaching London on Tuesday, he was much worse, and Mr. Miskin, of the York road, surgeon, was called in and attended him to his death on Thursday, which, in his opinion was caused from inflamma tion of the brain, arising from the blow on the back of the head. The coroner and jury expressed a hope that the press would notice this case, in order that the owners of machines for - bathing might be more cautions for the future. Verdict, " Accidental death." SwitidlisiG AT CAMBERWELL FAIR. —Yesterday afternoon two females, sisters, of the name of Chalker, re siding at lb, Beaufoy-terrace, Walworth, were swinging in one of those dangerous machines called. high-flyers, at Cam berwell fair, when at the moment it had attained its greatest - . Yoh/city, they suddenly rose in their seats and were pitet ed -•-ftut,•flying over the heads of the people a distance of twenty -They -were picked sip • inseuaible, and taken to: the bath having sustained fractured skulls and otket'itiw' • - Juries, from which it is impossible that they can recover. v a INDIA. (From the Englishman of July 2.) The following is an extract of a letter from Patna, which gives some additional particulars of the affair on board the Berharnpooter : " Narian Singh, Golab Singh, and others of our op. ponents in the late Seikh campaign, with other Seikh prisoners (dacoits, &c.), in all thirty-nine muscular and powerful people, of whom two were women, were embarked at Allababad on board the flit Kaleegunga, in tow of the steamer Berhampooter ; their guard was composed of -two old and infirm Naiks, eight gaol guards, and eight teeka burkundazeal " The prisoners were shackled hands and feet, and were secured to the larboard side of the cargo boat by long chains running through . their shackles, both ends being fattened to the vessel. " The vessel started from Allababad on the 18th, and arrived at Dinahpore on Saturday, the 22d inst.; having coaled and teken in a large supply of wood, the voyage downwards was resumed at noon. "At 'about ball-past five o'clock that afternoon a portion of the prisoners, as usual, were removed from the chair), for the purpose of performing their ablu tions, &c., when, no doubt according to a preconcerted arrangement (for the prisoners had, during the day, made inquiries, regarding the width, &c , of the hill stream, called the Gunduck, which empties itself at the bank immediately opposite to Patna), a shrill whistle was heard to proceed from Narain Singh, and in a moment the other prisoners cast off the long chain, and seized the loaded muskets belonging to the guard, which were piled on the hatches of the Flat. "On the extraordinary noise of the rattling of chains reaching the ears of the commander (Mr. Stout), of the cargo boat, who was seated forward in the performance of his special duty, he went aft, and was immediately assailed by the prisoners ; he de fended himself from injury, and returned forward to alarm the folks on board the steamer by a cry of munity. The commander and officers of the steamer, accompanied by the passengers, went on board the flat ;-4 they were likewise attacked, and as they had merely a sword and a few sticks, with which they could do nothing in the way of defence from loaded muskets, they prudently retreated to the steamer in search of arniA and 'ammunition. Arms where found,-some sans locks, others sans flints, &e.! In this predicament, and since the unshackled prisoners hall commence to shoe a` "every White face . (their avowed objet: was to kill the Feringees, not the classies), which they found stealing a glance at them, and as there was. every probability that when the , prisoners were free_froartileirjrons they would board the steamer, a capstan consultation was held, and it was determined to run the vessel ashore. " Having thus secured the vessel, all who had es ceped the flying ballets by the intervention of the large pile of fire wood in the after part of the steamer, commenced their escape to the shore, but not without a few vollies of balls being sent at them ; fortunately they did no harm. The officer of the,steamer, I be lieve by name Mr. Chew, , had a very narrow escape for his life. He unfortunately got stuck in the mud, from which he could not extricate himself, in this position, offering a steady pot shot to the musketeers, the first bullet passed too close to his ears to be plea sant. To add to his unpleasant sensations hp observed the same villain taking another deliberate aim at his head, but the flint was stubborn, a third attempt was made, and the powder flashed in the pan ; he imme diately afterwards was rescued by one of his classies hauling his legs out of the mud. Had it not been for this providential aid his name would have found a place among the domestic occurrences.' " The commander of the steamer, and one or two others, lost no time in proceeding to Patna, and re porting the occurrences to the civil authorities, while the others were obliged to wander about the country nearly all night, fearing the prisoners would make an endeavour to seize and murder them. " The Seikhs in the mean time continued their murderous work ; they killed one naik (whom they shot and bayoneted--;-he was a marked man), and two gaol guards, and wounded two others, and three of the crew ; during the first skirmish with the corn mender of the flat and some of the guards, two of the prisoners were mortally wounded; their bodies, before their, spirits were out of them, were thrown by their party into..the *river " They next boarded the steamer, and seized a poor sergeant's wife (a passenger from Dinahpore), and desired her at the peril of her life to discover to them where the treasu re was stowed (there are thirty one boxes of Honourabl e John's money on board). of course, pleaded her ignorance of it ; but they were determined t o fi nd money, she T e finding tendered to them her all, about 100 Rs., of which Narain Singh very considerately returned to her 2 R s ., for her landing expenses at Calcutta, and expressed his regret, under the circumstances, at his inability t o be more generous. Her life and honour, moreover, Were protected by Narain Singh from the diabolical intentions of the other Seilchs. They visited the cabins, broke ope n a l m i ra h s an d b ox es, and took from them about 100 rupees more. A f oray was made on the flat for the Government treasure, which they unfor tunately did not succeed in finding. " &cape being their great object, they turned their attention to working the steamer. A cook, and then a classy was pressed to fire up the boilers, and take the vessel across the river ; the former pleaded his inability to perform this task, but offered to cook up any dish they required ; the classy got Off with a kick, it was fortunate he was not turned into fuel. The Sailchs then put their hands to work, and fed the stoves, but as Ihe vessel disregarded the heat, they gave up the task as a bad job. " T.hey..then turned their- attention to other means of escape; a 421,100 iispatotredio ther-thetti they had received at his hands. They had his best wishes for the welfare of the society ; and they must excuse him for the indifferent manner in which he expressed himself in English.—(Cheers.) What he could not say was much better than what he had ex pressed.—(Great applause.) On the call of Mr. BENEDICT, three hearty cheers were giverefoloMadlle. Lind, and the music was then resumed. This, scene' waslffe more interesting; because wholly unexpeCted, and - ho'one seemed to enter more &tinily into it thaw Jenny Lind herself. The inalineti iw which the tickets for these concerts have beeia forced up to an extravagant • premium- has formed the subject of general conversation and public dicussion. It 13 stated, in a local journal of repute tiob; that PiOprietiors or the Philliarmohic Hall (of course subscribers also), having a rightof pre-emption of the tickets, took their whole nunpb'er' and, by thhs narrowing tbe keneral market, were able to sell them at a very heavy premium, pocketing the surplus. We cannot believe this. The merchants of Liverpool are an active and clever class of men, with a keen eye to business ; but they have also of late made pretensions to be patron's of art. They boast, with justice, of having distanced Lond on it se lf, i n h av i ng erecte d it grand hall for music, where you can both see and hear. They also claim credit for having given music, as an art, a permanent and a recognised position in this great metropolis of commerce. Now men with such high aims would never descend to practices so low and so unworthy of their own character. They would not let the money-changers into the temple; they would not, for the sake of their gain, deprive hundreds of their fellow-townsmen, not wealthy enough to pay_ luxury prices, of an enjoyment professedly secured for them. No; these gentlemen have been maligned by local prejudice and If they have " jobbed " in tickets, as is universally stated in Liverpool, it has been fora nobler and more worthy object. They do not, we are convinced;•mean to pay for their proprie tary shares out of the profits thus wrested from their right destination. The Hall fund being heavily in debt, Jenny Lind consented to sing that she might help to fill the void. She did not come to sing for the profit of individual proprietors, but for the release of the whole body from debt. The gentlemen through whose agency the tickets have been forced up feel all this. They would not be guilty of personal mean ness ; yet they would desire to keep mere outsiders from pocketing unjust gains. If any of the proprie tors have pocketed the sums charged to them, we are assured that it is only with the noble and honourable intention of handing the money to the Hall fund (to which it rightfully belongs) as soon as the concerts are over. JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE.—On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held at the Bee Hive public-house, Horwich, by Mr. Rutter, county coroner, on the body of Israel West head, aged twenty years, a labourer, who died on the 7th inst., iu consequence of being stabbed in the breast with the prongs of a hayfork, on the 7th of July last. The deceased and two men, named Richard Barlow and John Snape, went, on the night in question. to a pond on the farm of Mr. John Fletcher, Horwich, to take his fish with a net. Mr. Fletcher, being alarmed by the barking of his dog, went out, and saw the three meu attempting to take the fish.

Taylor and Bright's Circular etates:—We have bad another week of fine weather, and harvest may now be considered general in this district. The reports of the wheat crop are certainly unfavourable, but until the result of thrashing is known with more certainty, buyers act with great caution, and continue to supply themselves merely from hand to mouth. At to-day's market we had a moderate supply of wheat from our farmers, who insisted on the full terms of last week; but Mill4rVbeing buyers only at Is decline, little business was done. ' There was rather more inquiry for foreign wheat, With a few transactions. There is a fair arrival of barley, and the article is rather easier to buy. The same remark applies to oats. The reports of the bean crop continue•untavourable, but still do not attract specu latous, Arid we note no alteration in the article. Pas are a ready sale at our full quotations.

FLAYED ALlve.—A statement was copied into the newspapers some time ago, that a man belonging to a party bound for California, having declared that he would shoot the first Indian that he met, deliberately shot a squaw, and being taken by a party of Indians was skinned alive. The report was subsequently contradicted. Notwithstanding this, the Bangor Mercury says that a letter has been received from one of the party to which the man belonged, which was a company bound to California overland, giving the details of his crime and punishment in the manner stated. Soon after this cold-blooded murder of the squaw, the party, about 20 in number, was surrounded by 300 Indians, and threatened with instant death unless they disclosed the perpetrator of the atrocious deed. After consulting together, they deter mined to point out the murderer, who was at once sized by the Indians, bound to a stake, and his skin peeled from him, even to his toes. The operation lasted two hours, and the victim survived two hours after it. The company, among whom was his own brother, were compelled to form a ring round the stake, and witness the terrible torment of the :wretched man. Four or five of the party, and among them the one who called down upon himself such a terrible punish ment, went from Troy, in the state of Maine.—Portland Argue. 4 1 [ADVERTISEMENT.]—The most popular Medicine for the Cure of Indigestion, Stomach and Liver Complaints, are Holloway's Pills.—Captain Smith, residing at Poplar, who had resided the greater part of his life at sea, and a consider able portion of that time in warm climates, suffered dreadfully from a liver complaint and indigestion, and often to such 'an extent that he thought it was impossible for him to recover. He followed the advice of medical men both at home and abroad, but without benefit ; he then commenced with Hol loway's Pills, and soon experienced so much relief that he per severed in taking them for a fdw weeks, when he found his health perfectly restored.
