THE NAVAL HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN
The Navy will rejoice on hearing that the history of their ex-
ploits, as related by Captain Brenton, an officer who has seen
fifty years' service, is now in course of publication in Weekly
Shilling Numbers, so that every tar may now possess the
" Naval History of Great Britain." This publication, so long
desired in such a form (the first number of which, price one
shilling, is published this day), is to be completed in twenty-
four numbers, with portraits of all the most distinguished offi-
cers in the service. It may be had, by order, of every book-
seller and newsman throughout the kingdom.
By reclaiming bogs, which is now found to be more
practicable and less expensive, than was at one time supposed,
much might be done. An intelligent improver in bog hus-
bandry, Mr. Reid, went over to Ireland for the purpose of in-
structing the people, and setting about works in that peculiar
branch of husbandry. Complete success attended his under-
taking, and a large tract of bog-land was brought into cultiva-
tion to the great advantage of the proprietor under his ma-
nagement. It might be well worth the consideration of Go-
vernment to see whether something could not be effected in
this way, under such an able and judicious practitioner. He
has made extensive improvements upon Chat Moss, near Man-
chester ; upon Rawcliffe Moss, near Garstany ; and others,
with an ample remuneration for the outlay. One which he
undertook belonging to Lord Stamford, near Ashton-under-
Line, paid at the rate of 7i per cent. It used formerly to be
considered necessary to cut away the top moss before a suffi-
ciently solid body of soil could be obtained to stand the pro-
ems of cultivation. The whole of his system is carried on
upon the top surface, and without any burning, which was a
necessary part of the old method. The drains are cut about
4 feet deep, and at the distance of about 10 yards apart. The
expense of culture is little more than that of any other land.
The principal expense is in the preparation. This requires to
be done by marl. It is now much facilitated by a moveable
railway. The cost of this may be something considerable at
first, about 500/. a mile ; but when once incurred there is an
end cf it, as the whole length is in short pieces about 12 fee
each, and may be easily moved by two persons in any direc-
t
tion wanted. The effect of cultivation may be viewed by any
one travelling along the Manchester and Liverpool railway.
Here, where a few years back there was nothing but raw moss
with heath upon it, may now be seen the finest crops of every
description, even of wheat, which requires the strongest soil.
The whole is done after the marling, which will serve for four-
teen years, with the aid of black manure from Manchester.
We cannot therefore doubt, when we see such beneficial re-
sults to be attained, but that thousands of acres might be re-
claimed in Ireland ; and work thus given to numbers of desti-
tute labourers, and that without any expense to the country.
If these were placed in a well ordered workhouse, or in
neighbouring cabins of their own, they would certainly defray
Ore expense of the establishment.—Colonel Rawstorne's View
of the State of Pauperism in Ireland.
At present, there are five of the eight coining-
' presses at work on the coinage of the new silver fourpences.
Each press is capable of coining seventy a minute, or on the
average about four thousand an hour ; so that, supposing them
to be at work ten hours each day, the daily produce of the five
would be equal to two hundred thousand, or one million two
hundred thousand a week.
ERROR OF THE PRESS.—When Madame Ves-
tris, Keeley, &c., were lately performing at Liverpool, 'Man-
chester, &c., the Operetta of The Welsh Girl was an-
nounced, the music in which, the bills stated, was adapted and
arranged by Mr. Phrry, the celebrated Welsh " Methodist,"
instead of " Melodist."
Father Geramb, ci-devant Baron de Geramb, who,
on his return from the Holy Land, had remained some time
at Lyons to superintend the publication of his interesting work,
" Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mount Sinai," left Lyons on
' the 14th instant to return to the monastery of La Trappe.—
