ERRONEOUS FORMS OF SPEECIL—Since you allow
your correspondents to correct such words as teetotal, I hope
you will allow me to call the attention of your agricultural
readers to the corruption in the word mangold, as they now
write it. The word is in German mangel wurzel, root of
scarcity. It is wrong to use even such a name as this, is
my opinion, while we have the English name beet, which
has the additional advantage of being derived from the bo-
tanical name Beta. But if a new name must be used, let
it, at any rate, be the pure German mangel, and not the
mongrel mangold. Indeed, those who spell the word in the
latter way, ought in common consistency to write reddishes,
sparrowgrass, and cowcumbere, for radishes, asparagus, and
cucumbers.—E. G. R. from Notes and Queries.
THE "BALL AT BRUSSELS," JUNE, 1815.-llts-
TORICAL PARALLEL OP Aram, 1605.—" The archduke

of Hertford) with all honour and state; but whitest they
were feasting and merry at Brunettes, Prince Maurice had
an enterprise upon Antwerp, so that Spinola, Velasco, Van
de Bergh, tßusquoy, with many commanders, were forced
to packs away speedily for the defence of the coautry."—

THE RECENT EARTHGVAXE.—Thc shock of tho
earthquake of the 2nd inst. was felt in the Isle of Wight.
A private letter, received in Southampton from St. Servals,
in France, states that the shock was most alarming there,
and that people remained up all night through fear. It
appears from the collected accounts, that the earthquake
was limited, at least so far as it was perceptible to the erases,

THE EMIGRANT SHIP COROMANDEL, whieh has
been lying at Spithead for sonic days, has sprung a leak
several times in smooth water, and it is probable that she
will be Ondemneal by the government emigration commis-
' sinners. She is a very old ship, having been many years
since in the East India tea trade. She is full of p .ssengers,
and has 11 very heavy mail on board. She was bound for
Van Diemen's Laud.
THE NEXT MAILS FOR THE PENINSULA and the
West Indies and Pacific will be made up on the morning of
the 18th instant, in consequence of the 17th faliing on a
