unfortunately burned down; the fire raged very fearfully for
hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of
'AY premises and stock were consumed.
".The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, In conse-
quence of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it and melting with
e heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the
!ate, which great y added to the intensity of the heat; it rein tined
in that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it
was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all
Uninjured.

tion,

" Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the
prem:ses of Mr. Walker. Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
great amount of heat your safe resisted, and still more surprised
(when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
it) that it was not enti sly destroyed.
" Behig anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analrns, find much sulphuret, co that it must have
been greatly acted 110011,by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
were perfectly uninjured.

necessary for every one who has books and accounts of any value.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
hureh, Honorary Member of.the London Hospital Medical Society,

The eesential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret Succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
Thee utherhae l'or a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
enmities, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
aith in their pretensions.

The Kentish Gazette says :—Picking has commenced
in some few grounds in the neighbourhood of Canterbury,
and in all cases the produce has been short of expecta-
tion. In our next, as the operations of the picking will
have become more general, we shall be able to give a
more correct idea as to the growth. From the locality
of Maidstone similar accounts are received. In every
instance where picking has commenced, the hops come
down very light and "uncommon brown." In some
grounds picking has been suspended, the crop not
being sufficiently ripe. From some districts in West
Kent the crop falls very short from a half to a third,
the planters wondering what has become of the hops.
If it were not melancholy, it would be laughable,
says a correspondent from West Farleigh, to find ten
cwt. per acre dwindled down to three cwt. The quality
is mouldy and bad, and very few samples will be clean
and good. If the duty, says the same report, was fairly
set before
as the hops come down. The picking will soon be over.
picking at 60,0001., we cannot call it 40,0001.
It will be expensive to the planter, and not remunera-
tive to the picker. There are several large growers in
the parish of Marden, of from 40 to 50 acres, who will
not grow a ton on 40 acres of land, and those gardensare
the best farmed. This parish will not average A cwt.
per acre ; they are getting very full of the red mould,
and by the time they are picked will not be larger than
a pea. The duty since picking has commenced has
somewhat receded, and betting is generally against
60,000/.

SYRIANS CONTRIBUTING TO SEND TES GOSPEL TO
CHINA.—The congregations at Beirut are reported as at-
tentive and serious to a degree that makes it a pleasant
and hopeful work to preach to them. One thousand
piastres have been sent by them, to aid in furnishing the
million of New Testaments for China. Dr. Smith, at
the close of the year, had reached the 22d verse of the
18th chapter of the Acts in translating the New Testa-
ment. The church at Hasbeiya has passed through
many trials the past year, owing to the anarchy pre-
vailing"this stronghold of outlaws," Mount Lebanon

bers ; but harmony again prevails among themselves,
