LITERARY CURIOSITY : ORIGINAL.--The
following truly Persian compliment to English beauty, is
a literal version of an imitation of the odes of Hafiz
written by Mirza Slyyid Ali Shiraz :
" Give, 0 give, you rosy boy, the charming cup of British
wine I
It delights, it warms, the fainting heart.
My heart is subdued, it is wasted by the lovely idols;
Especially by that idol who is of English birth.
They (the English) are all sugar-lipp'd, and speak words
of sugar.candy.
You would say that the very dust of London produces
honey."
—Literary Gazette.

SPADE HUSBANDRY.---The allotment
system, on the estates of P. B. Thompson, Esq., M.P.,
of Estrick Park, is now in full operation. Every labourer
and bumble mechanic in the parishes of &trick, Deighton,
Riccall, Kexby, and Wheldrake, are provided with one
rood of land, independent of garden or orchard, at the
same rent precisely as is paid by the farmers, and the
happiest results are experienced. The truly industrious,
with their families, may be constantly seen busy upon their
allotments, and those of habits less fixed are found to culti-
vate theirs with profit, satisfaction, and content. Indeed,
the tenants of this kind in the parish of Wheldrake, have
lately thought fit to sign a paper, expressive of their grati
tude to Mr. Thompson for the introduction of this system ;
and the parishioners of Wheldrake in general assure Mr.
Thompson, that the accommodation which it affords to
these humble labourers has gone far towards preventing a
recurrence of the real poverty and distress which had pre-
viously existed there. The rents are paid half-yearly, arid
each tenant has a printed copy given to him of the rules
by which he holds the land, and which is to be cultivated
by manual labour alone, with the strictest regard to ho-
nesty, morality, and good neighbourhood.

TAPTEI?SALL'S.
'esterday Lord Chesterfield', A'ei;s was again hacked
at 40 to I, without making any advance. All the others
stand at the prices last quoted. Mr. Walker's Cotillon
was backed for the Oaks at 7 to 1 to a small amount ;
no others mentioned. For the St. Leg, r9to I was of-
fered agst Warlaby Baylock, and offers to take 11 to 1.

10 to I agst Mr. Hesseltine's Warlaby Baylock
II to 1 agst Mr. Watt's Bubastes (taken)
15 to 1 agst Mr. Yates's Bentley
20 to 1 agst Mr. Walker's Cotillon
The Derby and Oaks quotations, which are stated to
`le "taken freely," puzzle the sp'culators at Hyde Park
Corn:A., and are really " too gooa" to be received without
some caution.
