lisp quarter. The highest price of the best Essex and
Wheat in London being 625. per quarter, the differencag
26a. 91 per quarter dearer in London than in Paris, or 76 Pit
cent. and the same money which in London buys but eigef
bushels of Wheat, is in Paris the value of fourteen bushel°
the finest quality. , in
FLOUR.—The highest price of flour of the "first mark ith
Paris is 46 francs per 159 kilogrammes, corresponding 11;ii
295. per English sack of 2301b5. The highest price 01
best " town made" flour in London is 525. per sack, bb°‘ll
fine Flour to be 235. per sack dearer in London than , 0

TRAINING.—Amateur jockeyship being an 41.1
every day becoming more fashionable, and gentlemen iock!.
a class of equestrians more obnoxious to gratify than ;he P
f, ssionals, the following somewhat curious fact, derived frb,
an authority that can be relied on, may be of service at to
present season :—Some years ago a lad at Newmarket vio
almost starved, in order, in conjunction with very severe s"es r
to reduce him so that he might be able to ride a match of 'lto
poi tAnee at a particular weight. He was put into the s°l
at 9in the morning upon which the race was to be runt To
again at 10, and was found to have gained SO ounces in Welgil
in the course of an hour, having only tasted half a glast,,
wine in the interval. To those who know nothing of ell
mistry this will appear fabulous; nevertheless it Is very eagiii
accounted for. The effect of the wine would be to stimuli
the action of the nervous system, and invite nature, exhatls
by abstinence, to open the absorbent pores of the whole
in order to suck in some nourishment from the air. In °ale
of the narratives of shipwrecks and other casualties at sea ky
recorded instances of persons who have existed for estra hip
dinary periods upon incredibly small quantities of wine, r
preservation being attributed to the effect produced in Abe c
of the groom-boy at Newcastle. In training, the safest jegio,
dient that can be introduced into the stomach is soda-wse
a potulent more favourable to the vacuum than any fluid h
torero discovered.—Sporting Magazine for May.

PREPARATION FOR DEATH.—It is bad tn.— id
the time when we are expecting our last moment to prep io
ourselves for death. When an event happens, the titer Ar
make preparation for it is passed. Life only is the timet
preparation. There is a sort of sacrilegious piety; the tr,
pretended Christians who sin incessantly, hate their neighb°,oh
deceive, calumniate, bear malice, pass their time in pie,tifft,
and then, to expiate their follies boast of their faith in Yrs ei
frequent churches, omit no ceremony, and, at the hour of
repose themselves on the merits of the Saviour, or on sheave ;
tercession of saints. Another class of people are the bri:ttl!
they jest on the subject of death, treating it as an affair et Iliad
moment. They strive so to benumb their feelings, t° boa'
themselves, as neither to think nor look thereon, till it,bej
prises them ; then, when it appears terrible, inevitable,
abandon themselves to dark despair. Whence comes tbictl
Their minds are in error. They have lost sight of the °
and purpose of their life. They have found in shams„
only contradiction, and, in the world, an inexplicable
