LORD PALMERSTON'S VISIT TO T.
—EEDs.—This
went is likely to be made much of in the West Riding of
rorkshire. The first object of the koble lord's visit Was to
)reside at the annual soiree of the Leeds Mechanics' Insti-
ate and Liters Society, which will be held in the Town-
[all, Leeds ry
on Thursday
evening next, the 25th inst. • but
the afternoon
of that day, before the soiree takes place,
united deputation from the Chambers of Commerce
11 Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Hull, and
3atley is to have an interview in Leeds with his lord-
;hip in reference to reform in the Bankruptcy Laws.
Friday the noble lord -is to be presented with an
ddress from the Mayor and. Corporation. The presenta-
len is to be made in the Town-hall, to which admittance is
0 be by tickets. The mayor, magistrates, and town council
lave the distribution of the tickets, 1,800 in number. On
he same day (Friday) his Lordship is to preside at the an-
411al meeting of the Leeds Ragged School Society. On the
Saturday or Monday following the Yorkshire farm tenants
If the noble lord will entertain him at dinner at Fairburn,

ton, is expected to arrive in Leeds on Wednesday, the 24th
kst_, anal will become the guest of Mr. W. Beckett, at
kirk/stall..grange.
THE DAROMET MASSACRE.—The following is an
'atract from a letter dated :—" Cape Coast Castle, Gold
oast, September 16.—The atrocities at Dahomey have far
I.ceeded the report of which you are aware. Thousands
lave been sacrificed. Latterly came a steamer on that coast
end shipped off 1,500 slaves. A man-of-war, being on the
loot, saw the vessel, but suspected nothing of her design.
We hear that English people and other Europeans have
seen imprisoned there—most probably from refusing to wit-
less the human sacrifice, or take part in the rites of diabo-
ical superstition. Pray, let this be known in the proper
laarter."

We Ile not rival Germany in either the extent of
kr forests or the docility of our pigs. We do not train our
Wine to understand the horn or obey the whip ; but there
kre forest ranges still in England whore acorns and beech-
ktast are plentiful, and where racy pork is bred, as good as
Qtly in Westphalia or Ohio. I am unpoetical enough to
klieve that the very best pork is that reared on meal and
ilk as the staple food ; but I own to a feeling of gratifica-
-1 ton when my boys come home with a basketful of beech-
illAts for the pig, or the village children offer acorns for sale.
