a testimonial to Mr. Mathew, and also to state the siler,4
which it could be carried out. The design which 11°.%-,

about twelve feet. Although one-third over life Erlio,

JOLLY CHEER.--A cotemporary, in high indignatrll.°'o
gives the following as an account of the daily ra sir
supplied to the individuals fortunate enough to get tbd,
criminal heads under the shelter of the Portsea prison 0-5.
—" Breakfast : 12 ounces of bread and 1 pint of e°%p:
dinner : 6 ounces of bread, 1 lb. of potatoes, 1 pint of 0:9
and 51 ounces of meat, weighed after cooking; suPPe,third
ounces of bread, 1 pint of gruel, or 1 pint of tea, if in `,,,rs
class; third class men are allowed 3 ounces of bread, 1,
ounces of chee,e, and half a pint of porter extra on Stind;'o;
fourth class men are all to have baked or roasted bee
mutton four times a week, with a pudding made of 3 °°,111;
of flour, 1 ounce of suet, and 2 ounces of milk, vi`; of
spoonful of molasses over it on Thursdays." The lo",
these gentleman convicts will be rather envied by 0713.% s
poor man struggling from hour to hour in supporpsro
large family. Many an industrious tradesman has t°;110
up with a dietary much beneath that provided at the PatioS
expense for these criminals. It is really high time
alit
punishment was made punishment, and prisons ,r,,-oad•
such. There is a vast deal of mock philanthropyay- of
and we have not met with a more singular manifestationtio
it than the above list of the good things provided for

The Russian Government has just granted extenl49o
privileges to a company established by M. Cholleriage
others, for preserving and exporting, on a great scale,ra of
quantities of meat and vegetables produced on the P.1°111; of
the Dnieper. In that vast grazing country the n 'tali
oxen and sheep has in certain seasons been aholt to
thrown away, on account of the difficulty of bringingosa•
any market, and the absence of any means for its Presp-asig
tion. A number of capitalists in St. Petersburg and fake
have lately taken up the plan devised by M. Chollet, t°
tart
a profitable use of the enormous amount of alinle"bio
substances which Southern Russia would supply, and /lb it it)
might go far to relieve the distress and anxiety nosy -oy,
France about the increasing scarcity of food. A e°l3lP-tbil
having a capital of 12,000,000 f. has been formed f°,.`ggisli
purpose, and has already contracted to supply the
government, as its first customer, with 10,000,000 11.0,
