He had been dead some hours ; and, by his position, which a glimmer of the reviving fire enabled me to ascertain, his last sigh had been breathed in the unconscious face of that victim of intemperate excess. Even in death, previously to which reason, 1 concluded, had returned to him, he had not ceased to love her, and to look over her sad frailty; for his arm, now cold and nerveless, was thrown over her insensible form.

The very ornaments with which they adorn them, gods and goddesses, dolphins, shells, &c., interfere with the effect of the beautiful element itself ; and though of course, there is no comparison between the graceful forms of the basin of the Acqua Paolu, Trevi, &c., and height of nearly sixty feet, and falling back in a cataract. is a finer thing in itself than a whole Olympus of carved stone divinities. From this fine fountain, by the side of which one enjoys a noble view of Rome, we went to St. Peter's ; and here I was only astonished at finding how 1, or any nth which they are conclusion that the ther direction.

THE NEEDLE.—HOW often have I blessed my needle for rescuing me from the temptations which assail the other sex. Bright and innocent little implement, whether plied over tasteful luxuries, or gaining the poor pittance of a day, thou art equally the friend of her whose visions tend to wander amid the regions of higher abstractions, and of her whose thoughts are pinned down to the tread mill of thy minute progress. Quiet rescuer from clubs and midnight revels, amid the minor blessings of woman's lot thou shalt not be forgotten.! Still come, and let thy fairy wand shine on her; still lend an ambitious joy to the play-things of the girl; still move unconsciously un der the glittering smile of the maiden planning thy trium phant results ; still beguile the mother whose thought roves to her boy on the distant ocean, or the daughter watching by the sick bed of one who has heretofore toiled for her; still soothe the long dreary moments of faithful love ; and though a tear sometimes falls on thy shining point, it shall not gather the rust of despair, since employ ment is thy dower.—Mrs. Gilmer's Recollections of a Southern Matron. MIXED COMMISSIONCOURTS OF SIERRA LEONE. — The Mixed Commission Courts form a conspicuous feature in the history of the colony of Sierra Leone, from the cir cumstance of its being by their fiat that thousands of negroes have obtained their freedom. They are termed mixed, from those nations with which England has treaties for the abolition of the slave trade having a right to send commissioners to judge in their respective cases. This right, however, has seldom been claimed, except in a few late instances by Spain and Brazil. But it requires little penetration to perceive that they came, not for abolition, but to preserve vessels engaged in the illegal traffic. Spain is not to be trusted ; and the Brazilian flag, like charity, "covereth a multitude of sins." The expiration of the Brazilian treaty has already given• a powerful impetus to the trade, and the harbour of Sierra Leone has become swarmed with vessels bearing that flag. This treaty does not, like that with Spain, allow the condemned vessel to be cut up; by it, they must be sold, hence, the same vessels have been known to come in for adjudication seve ral times under a new name, as per example sharp- .tine, within the year in which she was con demned as a slaver, was purchased by a German house in the colony, freighted, and sent to Hamburgh, and in a few months returned as a prize under a new name, proving that she must have made a voyage to Brazil, or elsewhere, and was again sold to a slave-dealer. She was then a second time purchased by the same house for £6OO, and no doubt will make her appearance a third time for adju dication. The "Atala" is another instance. This vessel was purchased by a Mr. Machado, a Brazilian merchant in the colony, and fitted out for a voyage to the Leeward coast, but in a few months put back as a prize as the "Ecuador."—Simmonds's Colonial Magazine. TAKING A TUCK OUT.—I declare it really wasn't pru dent to trust that Emma to do a thing, and even that little lamb of a Kitty of mine was scarcely safe with a stupid, like her, in the house. For I recollect once, I had been thinking the simpleton had a great deal of spare time on her hands, and might jpst as well do a little needlework, as sit twiddling her finga and thumb on an evening, so •I told her that my little poppet cf a Kitty was growing so fast that all her things were getting too short for her, and she really wanted a tuck out in her best frock, and would certainly look all the better for it, so I would thank her to attend to it that night, and let it be done before she went to bed. In the evening, I was in the parlour, boil ing down some quince pips to make a nice fixature for my hair, and all the while I could heat that sweet little che rub of mine down stairs crying; so I said to myself what the dickens can that idiot be doing with the child in the kitchen at this time of night, when it ought to have been undressed and in bed a good hour ago ? Off I trotted to see what precious bit of stupidity my lady was at now. When I reached the kitchen I thought I should have fainted, for there sat Emma, with my little angel on her knee, dressed out in its best frock, and with its dear little innocent face daubed all over with treacle, just as if it had been tarred. " 'What on earth have you been doing with the child, Emma ?" I exclaimed. " I thought as you said it was to have a tuck out in its best frock, ma'am," she )lied, " it could have nothing nicer than plenty of bread !lend then to my horror I learnt from her, I her I fancied the child would look all the better for having a tuck out in it's best frock, bless and save us, if the stupid oaf didn't imagine that I wished it to have a grandfeast in its Sunday clothes ! "Oh ! you stupid, studid thing !" I said, and what business have you to go giving the darling all that mess, when the doc tor has ordered me to let it have nothing but slops ?" " Nothing but slops, mum !" she exclaimed, with her mouth wide open with astonishment. " Yes, you stupid, nothing but slops," I answered ; " don't you even know what slops are now ?" "In course I do, mum, —augh !—oh, la !" she replied ; and from the way in which she turned up her nose, and the wry and treacle face she made, I could easily see that she fancied that the dear babe was to be fed with the grouts of the tea-cups, or whatever else might be in the slop-basin, when the breakfast things came down.—The Greatest Plague of Life. - - CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM .—Altogether, the most in teresting case of somnambulism on record, is that of a young ecclesiastic, the narrative of which, from the im- mediate communication of an Archbishop of Bordeaux, is given under the head of somnambulism in the French En cyclopaedia. This young ecclesiastic, when the archbishop was at the same seminary, used to rise every night, and write out either sermons or pieces of music. To study his condition, the archbishop betook himself several nights to the chamber of the young man, where he made the fol lowing observations. The young man used to rise, to take paper, and to write. Before he wrote music he would take a stick and rule the lines with it. He wrote the notes, together with the words corresponding with them, with perfect correctness. Or, when he had written the words too wide, he altered them. The notes that were to be black, he filled in after he had completed the whole. After completing a sermon, he read it aloud from begin ning to end. If any passage displeased him, he erased it, and wrote the amended passage correctly over the other ; on one occasion he had to substitute the word "adorable" for " divin but he did not omit to alter the preceding " ce" into " cet," by adding the letter " t" with exact precision to the word first written. To ascertain whether he used his eyes, the archbishop interpOsed a sheet of pasteboard between the writing and his face. He took not the least notice, but went on writing as before. The limitation of his perceptions to what - he was thinking about was very curious. A bit of aniseed cake, that he had sought for, he eat approvingly ; but when, on another occasion, a piece of the same cake was put in his mouth, he spit it out without observation. The following instance of the dependence of his perceptions upon, or rather their subordination to, his preconceived ideas is truly wonder ful. It is to be observed that he always knew when his pen had ink in it. Likewise, if they adroitly changed his . - papers, when he was writing, he knew it, if the sheet sub stituted was of different size from the former, and he ap peared embarassed in that case. But if the fresh sheet of paper, which was substituted for that written on, was ex actly of the same size with the former, he appeared not to be aware of the change. And he would continue to read off his composition from the blank sheet of paper, as fluently as when the manuscript itself lay before him ; nay, more, he would continue his corrections, and intro duce the amended passage, writing it upon exactly the place on the blank sheet which it would have occupied on the written page.—Blackwood's Magazine. CANADIAN DISCOMFORTS.—The accommodations for for the "beast" were usually good, but those proyic the "man" were not always of the most tern R kind The beds were sometimes good, but much Oftener bad, while the meals, except in the city and some tew of the towns through which I passed, were the least inviting that could have been placed before a hungry traveller. Let the reader imagine to himself —sour, home-made bread— tea which resembles, in flavour, a decoction of hay, and sweetened with what 1 never could endure, the maple sugar of the country—a rasher of bacon or ham exceed ingly salt, and oftener rancid than sweet, and as thick as a beef-steak ought to be, but never is in this country— potatoes infamously cooked—eggs fried and overdone in grease-- a saucer or two filled with preserved apples, em browned in the same eternal maple sugar—a few other fruits, such as raspberries, currants, &c., spoiled in the same manner—a couple of large plates of potted butter, with huge particles of salt oozing from them like drops of hoar frost from a damp wall—cheese resembling hard prepared bees' wax, and tasteless and tough as leather — let the stranger, I repeat, imagine this galimatias of eat ables, (he must not forget to add huge slices not of crisp, but saddened toast) and he will know what sort of a break fast or supper he may expect to find in Canada, should he induced to travel through it. Sometimes a fowl d to what they pertinaciously insist upon calling if you partake of it after one o'clock in the ever be day, but which you, having only breakfasted, may incline to regard as your dinner ; and this, if plainly roasted, is passable enough, but I confess that I never saw a piece of beef (for they have no joints) or mutton, or veal, placed on one of those "country inn" tables that was not smothered in grease, and altogether most uninviting in appearance Eight Years in Canada, Fire, A WORD ABOUT THE PAUPERS OF THE ETERNAL CITY.—The quality of everything I looked at was very in different, the prices enormous; and the shopkeepers, with an audacity and dishonesty inconceivable to a stranger, invariably take half the original price they demand for ng.

He proclaims himself and army as the friends of all peaceable Mexicans, and determined to protect them in all their civil and religious rights New York, April 301 k To-day being packet-day the markets have been'very quiet, and transactions too small to characterise the market, or en able us to fix quotations with much definiteness.

AN AMERICAN CLERGYMAN'S OPINION OF THREE LIVERPOOL CLERGYMEN.—When I entered St. Jude's it was completely filled with a most attentive congrega tion. With difficulty I made my way through the crowded aisle to the pew where I had a seat secured. Mr. M`Neile was himself reading the morning prayer. Such finished and impressive reading I had never heard before. But when he entered upon his sermon, I was even more amazed. His subject was the offering of Christian sacrifices. In his exhibition of it he was so discriminating, evangelical, clear, and intelligible, that, while a child might comprehend him, the most instructed Christian could not fail to beedified and informed. Were there no attractions of manner, his subject and mode of discussing it, so intellectual, spiritual, and adorned, would have made him the first of preachers. In this aspect of his preaching he is much like our revered friend Bishop M'llvaine, of whom I was often reminded as I listened to Mr. M`Neile. The whole congregation seemed intent upon the subject which was before them. Every one was searching the Scriptures as he referred to them, to see if these things were so. Even the people who filled the aisles were all holding little Bibles in their hands in the same employment. But great as was this attraction of matter and subject, that of manner was not less. His voice, action, and power of eloquence, certainly transcend all that I had ever heard before. Tall, dignified, elegant in form, with a full head of hair, nearly white, graceful and commanding in figure, with an unusual compass and variety of voice under perfect command, he must have taken the very highest stand as an orator in any walk of public life. As a preacher, combining the unrivalled ex cellencies of subject, mind, and manner, I should not hesitate to say this is the very highest standard of preach ing among men. Nothing can surpass it. And yet I hardly express to you my own feelings or judgment in this high commendation. The Lord's Supper was cele brated after the sermon ; and, as Mr. .M`Neile was alone, I went into the vestry-room to offer him assistance. He had had a previous communion at eight o'clock in the morning, and yet there were probably from four to five hundred communicants present. It was a very solemn and impressive occasion, and reminded me more strongly of similar occasions in my own church than any which I have elsewhere witnessed. In the evening I assisted Mr. M`Neile in the service, and heard another admirable ser mon on the use of the law. I shall never forget the solemn and impressive prayer with which this faithful man commended the work before us, and my unworthy self, to God, in the vestry-room, before we went into the church. There is no trifling about him or any of his duties. All is serious, affectionate, and faithful. In preaching, he is whollyf extemporaneous. He holds a little pocket Bible in his hand, and from this he speaks with the wonderful power which I have attempted to de scribe. This evening a crowded congregation hung upon the words which fel from his lips. Perfect stillness reined throughout the church. Surely, I thought, God is in this place. Oh, that I might catch something of this living fire, and gain improvement from the privileges of this day ! I had still other occasions to hear Mr. M`Neile, and was only confirmed in the opinion which I had formed of his power and influence as a preacher of the gospel. My private acquaintance with him, , in per ... . soma visits, still deepened the impressions which I had received of his character from his public labours. Ano ther most interesting man in Liverpool is the Rev. James Haldane Stewart. We have long known him by his wri tings and his efforts to revive the influence of true piety in the church. His personal appearance and conversation are most consistent with the beautiful and simple piety of his writings. He is a tall and venerable man, perhaps seventy years old, quite bald, with his scattered white hair giving the aspect of great age, his countenance and manners the very model of meekness and love; in all his conversation deeply spiritual and instructive, proving a most edifying companion to all who are able to appreciate the excellence of his character and the evangelical purit' of his religious sentiments.

Several others were dread fully burnt, but escaped in a boat. The crew were Americans, bound to Leith. The accident was caused by a candle falling on some dry oakum while drawing some rum. THE CROPS.—AII the provincial papers speak in high terms of the growing crops. The following are speci mens :—ln the Fylde the corn looks well, and kitchen gardens are flourishing. In Shropshire " the appearance of the wheat and barley crops is indicative of a profuse harvest." In Kent " the beautiful warm showers have put a new face on the country, and all the crops pro mise abundance. The early potatoes look healthy." So much foreign grain has been stored at Perth this winter, that granary room is hardly to be had, and im porters are re-shipping to other ports partly from want of the necessary accomodation. Glasgow is similarly situated, and some who had sent cargoes thither, and found no sale, are intending to re-ship them to the Baltic, where prices are fifty per cent higher than when originally put on board. A CONTRAST.—In November, 1834, the price of a bushel of flour in this city was 6s. 6d. ;—on Monday, May 17, 1847, it was seventeen shillings ! Very shortly, we regret to add, the price will probably range between 20s. and 30s. per bushel.—As a proof of the laudable de sire in Hereford to economise in the smallest things, we may notice that we have seen handbills affixed to the walls, not with paste, but skewers.—Hereford Journal. The London Dock Company has lately opened another stack of warehouses with vaults beneath, at the western end of the docks, nearest to the city. They have been built at a cost of about £BO,OOO, and combine light, space, and convenience of all kinds for the transaction of busi ness. The arches of the vaults are supported by iron columns, and have a light and roomy appearance, whilst they are so far from the water side as to be effectually free from' damp. FOREIGN CORN.—The number of vessels which arrived at the port of London during the past week from ports in Europe, laden with grain, was 95, the cargoes of which were mainly wheat and oats, and were from the following European States, viz. Holland, Denmark, Prussia, France (Marselles), Sweden, Hanover, Oldenburgh. Malta, Mecklenburgh. and some others, the principal of which, however, were from the Hanoverian dominions, Denmark, and Prussia. . . THE INDIAN WAR.—A package has arrived in the East India Docks directed to Lord Hardinge, the Governor- General of India, containing a bedstead and hangings, and also a quantity of Indian armour, the former of which is a present to His Excellency from the Maharajah Dhu leep Sing, and the latter has been taken in the late en gagement with the Sikhs; the whole of which will be de livered for or on account of his lordship, by the special di rections of the Treasury, duty free. THE , SHIPMENT OP GOLD.—The quantity of gold taken out on Wednesday by the American steamer was £190,000, but it was not taken from the bank, but had been received from Paris by an eminent continental banking firm here, to be shipped on French account—no doubt as the most profitable remittance which they are able to make in pay ment of the corn, &c. which they are receiving in such large quanties from the United States. It is understood, also, that the bullion in the bank is daily augmenting, and that it cannot now be much below £lo,ooo,ooo.—Morning Chronicle. ANOTHER SPECIMEN OF ONE-SIDED CONSCIENTIOUS ness.—In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Mr. Wil liams opposed the adoption of the Report of the Commit tee of Supply, on the ground that the amount voted for the expenses of the Ecclesiastical Commission (X 3,450), being for the benefit of the church, ought not to be paid out of the public purse. The hon. member forgot to state, that this sum became due owing to the state interfering with the revenues of the church. But Mr. Brotherton reminded him, that if the public were thus paying £3,000 for the Ecclesiastical Commission, the churchpaidX36,ooo for registering births, deaths, and marriages, a measure adopted for the benefit of dissenters? Nevertheless, eight members voted with Mr. Williams. DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT LEEDS.—SEVEN LIVES LOST.—Yesterday morning week, a terrific explo sion of fire-damp occurred at a colliery belonging to Messrs. Harding and Co., New Hall, Beeston, about two miles from Leeds, by which seven individuals have lost their lives, and another has received injuries from which he is not expected to recover. The explosion took place about nine o'clock. The miners in the course of their labours broke into an old pit, from which the con fined and inflammable gas issued, and this communica- staiitaneous explosion. Six of the unfortunate -persons who were at work in the pit were killed on the spot, and two others were got out alive and conveyed to the Leeds Infirmary, one of whom has since died. DEATH OF A BOY FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—On Saturday week, a boy named John Hall, aged nine years and five months, was amusing himself with other boys in front of the office of Messrs. Ridley and Thompson, spi rit merchants, Newcastle, but causing some annoyance to those in the office, they were ordered away. Unfortu- nately, as an inducement to, them to go away, a glass of rum was given to each of them, when they deP . arted. The deceased, however, returned again, and asking for some more drink, a bottle containing rum was given to him by a traveller for the firm, and the boy applying the bottle to his mouth, drank nearly the whole of the contents. After leaving the office he was overcome with the liquor and fell down, and was taken up quite insensible, con veyed home, and put to bed, where lie died on Monday, without having spoken in the interval. A verdict of manslaughter has been returned against the traveller. A WEALTHY PAUPER•—On the 19th instant, a labour ing man named John Jarmy, and his wife, were admitted as in-door paupers at the Wangford union-house at Ship- rate apartments to exchange their - own clothing for that of the union, attended by the usual officials. The matron, who was present with the woman, observing that her pockets were very heavy, asked what they contained, to which she replied, " Only a few rags" ' • but this not sa tisfying Mrs. Hammond, she examined the contents, and 2 45., consisting silver • i knowledged deposits in the Norwich Savings Bank to the amount of £l6O, making a total of £292 4s. ! There were found , also nine silver tea-spoons, a table-spoon, HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The attractions of Jenny Lind continue undiminished, or rather to increase. Thin speaks the Morning Post of Wednesday thereon, and of her general characteristics !—" The day before yesterday, before the office doors were opened, a crowd had assem hw fi,nrirs n - A_ A au. iu Lumr CLIUTL to get nrst served they broke the glass door. Not only from all parts of the country, but from the continent, persons are constantly arriving to witness the performances of the great vocalist ; nor can they accomplish the object of their journey at once, so difficult is it to obtain a seat of any kind. The sensation the fair Swede excites is in no wise extraordinary when we reflect that she has all the sweetness of Sontag, with far more vocal power, and all the dramatic energy of the great Malibran, with the advantages over the latter that she never exaggerates feeling, and that her voice, insteau of being a beautiful contralto forced into an unequal so prano, is throughout even, round, clear, and bell-toned." 1 1 Mr. Coban ing well known in Liverpool, the following paragraph from the Times, London paper, will be perused with interest by many of his friends :—This entertainment attracted an overflowing audience last night to the Hanover Rooms. The concert-giver is a pianist of the modern school, unit ing considerable mechanical pretensions with a style and taste peculiarly his own. He played several phantasias of his composition, the most remarkable of which was a pot pourri called The Greek Revolution, an essay combining the fragmentary plan of the ancient Battle of Prague with executive difficulties that Rotzwara never dreamed of. Mr. Cohan was quite at home in these pieces, and was re warded by liberal applause. lie further distinguished himself by a very able performance of one of Beethoven's violin sonatas, in which he enjoyed the valuable co-oper ation of Mr. Blagrove ; and also in the exposition of an adagio and scherzo from a MS. sonata composed by him- self, and written with a better purpose than - the faiitasais of which we have spoken. A vaaiety of vocal pieces sus tained by the talents of Misses Birch, Dolby, and Rans ford, Messrs. Hart, and John Parry, completed the ;pro gramme, which appeared to give general satisfaction." CONTINUED DISTURBANCES IN SOMERSETSHIRE:— )od riots, which originated at May 25, 1847. CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION.—The Directors the South-Eastern Steam-ship Company intend to ru g one of their splendid vessels between Folkstone and St. Valery. The object in view appears to be the saving of forty miles by diligence from Boulogne to Abbeville, the port of St. Valery being only twelve miles from the Abbeville railway station, and the distance by sea from Folkstone to St. Valery, about fifty miles ; thus Paris would be reached in less time than either by Brighton and. Dieppe or Folkstone and Boulogne. EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH3.—On Sunday last the wife of a poor labouring man, named Godfrey Butterworth, of Wike Common, was delivered of three fine girls. The names selected were Faith, Hope, and Charity, and they were the same day duly registered by Robert Broughton, registrar for the district. The children are all doing well. On the 12th February, 1846, the same woman had twins (two fine boys), which were called Joseph and Benjamin ; so that in little more than 15 months she has brought her husband five children, all of them born alive, but the two , boys afterwards died.—Leeds paper. NARROW E SCAPE OF THE ST. VINCENT.—This perfect 120 gun ship left Portsmouth harbour at eleven o'clock on Saturday, for Spithead. She was taken in tow by the Centaur steam-frigate ; and when off Blockhouse beach, one of the hawsers broke, and left the St. Vincent nearly unmanageable, but by promptly letting go an anchor she was saved from getting on shore, although it was thought she did touch the ground. The officers of the dockyard and pilots did not deem it prudent, with the wind S.W., and a critical point of the tide, to run the risk of taking her out ; she was anchored ahead of the Victory, and soon after warped in safety to her former berth. If she had hung for a very short time, the most disastrous conse quences must have ensued, as the ebb tide soon began to make with great force ; and as she was between Point Beach and Blockhouse when she touched, she must, from her great size and draught of water, have turned over on her side, and been damaged for ever. It is reported that the tides will not admit of her going out of harbour for a fortnight. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—THE SOOTY JENNY LIND !--"" The Quarry Walk, Shrewsbury, has been crowded- every night during the past week to listen to the sweet and brilliant strains of the spirit of Jenny Lind, which it is reported pours forth most eloquent music from the yew tree at the skirt of the plantation under the residence of Mr. Badger, on Kingsland, opposite the Quarry Centre Walk. We (Shropshire Conservative) regret, howeve.ro to state, that the lovers of nature's music have met with a sore disappointment, as last night, about a qua r t er pa st eleven o'clock, when nearly 800 persons were present drinking the luscious strains from the immortal warbler, a cough was heard, and something, in colour approaching his Satanic majesty, seen to move ; when lo ! a little sweep was brought forth with a Whitechapel Birdcatcher'S whi-tle in his tiny fist, with which instrument he had been for several evenings beguiling the proud SalopianS from their convivial parties, and beds. This has given a quietus to a contemplated " Nightingale Club," which was in the course of formation by the Choral Society. THE GUN CoTToN.—As all conjecture as to the nature of this immensely powerful agent has now been set at rest by the publicity of the specification of the patent, any official facts with reference to its actual utility must prove of interest. A course of experiments, to test its relative strength with the very best Ordnance gunpowder, have just taken place at the Holyhead Mountain, Anglesea; the Holland Slate Quarries, Penrhyn ; and the result shows that the saving by the use of the gun cotton is at least 30 per cent. ; added to which is the great advantage, that the miners, by its means, are enabled to obtain the most enormous blocks, and this with little or no waste. In an official report which appears in the Mining Jour nal of Saturday week, it appears that a " huge mass of 60 tons weight was gently pushed from its firmly bound bed by the explosion of only eight ounces of cotton, and that no splintering of the slate took place, which greatly as tonished the workmen." To obtain blocks of slater alone, of such immense size, will in itself effect a vast amount of good; that material being in great and in creasing demand, even at its present price, for articles of building, of furniture and works of luxury and the arts. USEFUL RECIPES.—The following are recipes and in struction which are at the present time extensively used, and with great advantage and economy, in the town and neighbourhood of Carlisle, and were furnished by Mr. J- D. Carr of that town :—Plain .boiled hominy, or ,l n diaa corn shelled : Tie one pound of crushed hominy in a cloth, allowing plenty of room to swell, and boil three hours. This pudding may be eaten with su g ar and melted butter or treacle sauce. One pound of hominy will make e pudding sufficient, as a meal, for five or six persons, at a cost of not more than 2d., when Indian corn is selling from 565. to 60s. per quarter.—Hominy milk : Soak half a pound of crushed hominy in water twelve hours, and then boil it in milk over a slow fire two hours. It must be about the consistence of rice milk when brought to table.—Rice hominy pudding : Mix the hominy, which,_ has been previously boiled, either in milk or water, with eggs, a little sugar and nutmeg, a little suet, and with or without currants and raisins, as preferred. Tie up in g basin, and boil two hours. It is excellent either boiled or baked.—To prepare hominy as a vegetable, boil whet hominy in plenty of water four hoUrs, and strain its through a culander for the table. This is a beautify looking dish, and forms an excellent substitute for potty toes. Equal parts of Indian and English flour make ex' cellent household bread and cakes. RAGGED SCHOOL UNION.—On Tuesday a very mune rously attended meeting of the above society was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, when Lord Ashley took the chair. Amongst the number on the platform were the Bishop of Norwich, Lord Kinnear, the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., the Right H on , F ox M au le, the Hon . and Rev.. Baptist Noel, and a num b er o f clerg ymen. The noble Lord briefly, but very 1 paay.+; cally, addressed the meet— ing.em The report stated.that there were 16 schools opal I daily, morning and afterno on , 33 opon on t h e Sabbse* is used in the pit caused an almost in- mornmorning-^r* -- -,ri _5, afternoon, and evening ; .44 buildings c o, " r e l :t g schools of both sexes, which are situated in the log and most wretched localities of London.

A special fund had been established lor school of industry or juvenile refuge, in one of the 111( P o wretched and low localities in Westminster, to whicli lady in the first instance subscribed £2OO, and sub se i quently £3OO, with a view under the latter donation c ' receiving 50 girls. A legacy of £2OO had been- bequeath ed by Mr. Strut Avery, of the University Club. The reP° was adopted. The financial statement showed the re. t— -g ceipts to be for the past, year £824 6s. 10d., leaving . balance of £172 18s. 11d.
