BRITISH FARMER'S MAGAZINE.

A work wholly devoted to agricultural motters, and
which, we understand, is in great repute as an autho-
rity among the farmers. It is embellished with a so-so
engraving of a hack-horse, in the possession of a gen-
tleman named Carter, of Liverpool.

THE BRITISH FARMER'S ( Q UARTERLY)
MAGAZINE. No. XL.
CONDUCTED BY TUE REV. HENRY BERRY.

The observations on Breeding in this Number, as more
particularly applied to the EDF,-lish Hack, will prove highly
valuable to every one interested in the subject—and who is
not ? Mr. Berry, one of our first authorities, illustrates
his subject by a spirited portrait, engrav-sqd by T. Landseer,
of the sort of Horse which would be the probable result of
the Cross suggested, and which, though ninet.'•en years old,
has lately come off a three week's journey perfectly fresh
and hearty. The general contents of the Number are, as
usual, of vital interest to all connected with agricultural or
rural pursuits—we would instance " The Present Practice
of Farming in England;" " A Rapid Survey of the History
of Agriculture," "On Inflammatory Fever in Cattle,"
" On the Cause of the Inefficiency of Gypsum as a Manure
of Acid Soils," " On the Best Means of Promoting Agri-
cultural Prosperity," " On Agricultural Schools," "Que-
ries Concerning the Cultivation of Chat Moss," " On the
Food of Plants," " Implement for Milking Cows," and a
Second Series of the Practical Letters " On the Prospects
of Agricultural Settlers in Upper Canada."

THE BOTANICAL REGISTER;
Or, Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery.
BY DR. LINDLEY.
N0.,V11., for July.

Dr. Lindley, in the present Number of this elegant work,
continues his illustrations of the beautiful family of Orchi-
deous Plants, the cultivation of which is so ardently followed
by our Nobility. We are pleased to see also, that the
Crata2gus family will at length meet with arrangement.
So generally useful, as well as ornamental, as those varie-
ties of the thorn have become, with which we were ac-
quainted, and which prove so very inferior, in point of
flower, foliage, or fruit, to many of those presented to us
in the recent Numbers of this work, that
,we are astonished
this service has been left to the Doctor to perform : how-
ever, it could not be in better hands, "either in regard to
ability, or facilities. The following are likely io prove ge-
neral favourites. GODETIA vinosa (wine-stained Godetia),
a hardy annual, introduced by the Horticultural Society ;
and Inxs data (small-winged Iris), communicated by the
Hon. W. Fox Strangways, from the garden of the Dowager
Countess of Ilchester, at Abbotsbury, in Dorsetshire. It
requires no more protection in severe weather than a mat-
skreen will afford, and imparts a scent between that of the
Hyacinth and the Elder.

[The remainder of the Magazines will be given
to-morrow.]

A lamentable occurrence took place at a mine called
the Roylatch Mine, near, Butterton, in this cOunty, on Thurs.
day the 2d instant. The keeper of the toll-gi;:tu at Butter_
ton Moor, who is a miner, having on the day in que.stion re_
turned home, and nearly undressed himself to retire to rest,
said to his wife he thought there might be nobody at the mine
to draw up the two miners who also worked in the same mine,
and he vvonld go and draw them up. When he got there, be
found they were already out of the mine, and he said to them
he would sharpen his tools for the next morning's work; the.,
tried to dissuade him as the fire was nearly burnt out in the
smithy, and there was a barrel of gunpowder in it. He, how_
ever, went in, contrary to their advice; with a view of re_
kindling the fire in haste, he took some of the gunpowder in
his. hand, which he scattered on the floor across the smithy. As
soon as he threw it on the fire, the train which had been
formed by the scattered parts ignited, and communicated with
the barrel, which exploded, blew off the roof, and shattered the
building to pieces : the poor man's hair was burnt off his
head, and his face presents a frightful spectacle, not resem,
bling anything human ; he is still alive, and hopes are enter-
tained of his recovery. The other men were not much in.
