DEMOLITION OF MANUFACTURES—EXTINC-
TION OF COMMERCE—EXTIRPATION OI
POPULOUS TOWNS, AND FINAL TRIUMPH
OF FEUDAL BARBARISM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sxn,—l beg to hand you the following choice ex-
tracts, if you please, for publication. The spirit of
the contents of either ought not to be lost. The co-
incidence and identity of expression is perfectly na-
tural; and, indeed, they tell their own tale too well
to need any explanation of their meaning from me.
They are brief; notwithstanding, however, they
speak volumes. I should have judged both extracts
to have been an emanation from the same guilty or
disordered brain:—
(From the Standard, London Tory Newspaper, May
22, 1844.)
" England would be as great and powerful; and all
useful Englishmen would be as rich as they are, tbough
one ruin should engulph all the manufacturing towns
(From the Northern Star, Chartist Newspaper_ A11.1)0
"Large cities are the curses of civilisation! God
made the country: man made the towns! Oh for some
Titus to pass the ploughshare over them! Oh for some
Cincinnatus to lead us back to nature and the plough!"
There, working men of London, of Birmingham,
of Manchester, of Leeds—of the whole United King-
dom—what think ye now of your boasted leader ?
If you know him not now, take him and hug him to
your bosoms until he has drained your heart's blood!
Never more complain.
I am, Sir, very respectfully,

MUMMY WHEAT.--A few weeks since, we had the
pleasure of visiting the grounds of Mr. Reid, nursery
and seedsrnan, Derry, and feel bound to add our tribute
of admiration to the tasteful manner in which they
are laid out. In his garden, among other curiosities
which attracted our attention, we saw a quantity of
Egyptian wheat in full car, and giving promise of an
abundant harvest, the seed of which was foune in the
folds of a mummy unrolled in 1840. For the benefit of
those unacquainted with the characteristics of this wheat,
we take the following very accurate description of its
peculiarities from our contemporary, the Derry Jour-
nal :—" The specimens of the Egyptian bear a much
larger and weightier ear than our common wheats,
and have a proportionably stronger stem or stalk.
The ear itself is fully six inches long, and is pro-
vided with long awns or beards, like barley; its breadth
taken diagonally, measures, in one direction, more
than an inch, and, in the other, about half an inch ;
it has, therefore, a somewhat quadrangular appearance
from the base till within one-third of whole length
from the top, from which, till its termination, it re-
sembles the ear of barley. But, in our opinion, its dis-
tinguishing peculiarity (which accounts for its grftt
breadth) consists in the disposition of the greatest por-
tion of the grain in earlets, or small ears, which lie so
compactly and close to the main ear, that their existence,
as separate ears, is detected only by manipulation. Tho
grain, in size, form, consistency, and colour is similar to
the produce f this country, and, from its being very
prolific, its cultivation will merit the attention of our
best agriculturists."—Northern'Whig.
A MExicAN HORSEMAN.—Few things can be more
complete for all weathers and all seasons, than the outfit
of a Mexican horseman. lie has everything that can
contribute to the comfort or necessity of the passing
hour, strapped to some part of his horse or his usual
equipments. First of all, he has his broad-brimmed,
steeple-crowned sombrero, covered with oil-skin ; next,
his short leathern jacket, fancifully embossed with plated
nails, like the old buff coats of the feudal freebooters ;
then, his leather trousers with rows of buttons at the
seam, preventing the chafing of the saddle, and his
leggings to protect his feet and ankles ; in front of
him are his armas de agua, a large skin cat in two
pa ts, the ends of which on one side are fastened
to tato saddle-bow ; the other two being tied behind
him so that his legs are entirely protected from rain;
before them, again are strapped his pistols, while passing
beneath his left leg, rests his trusty toledo. From the
peak in front hang his lasso, a long running noose, with
which he catches his horse in the morning; and behind
him is strapped his serape, or blanket-cloak, with a
slit in the middle, which he throws over his head when
it rains or is cold, and protects him from the weather as
by a perfect thatch. Thus mounted on his high-peaked
Spanish saddle, with stiff wooden stirrups, over which
are long ears of leather ; and his feet armed with the
huge Spanish spur, to which is attached a small ball of
finely-tempered steel, that strikes against the long rowels
at every tread of the man or beast, and rings like a
fairy bell, you have a complete picture of a Mexican
horseman, equipped at every point, and ready for the
road. If he has to fight, he has his weapons; if to feed,
he has his laden mule ; if it rains, he dons his serape and
artnis de agua, and rides secure from storm and wind;
and if he arrives at an Indian hut, after a long and toil-
some journey, and no bed is ready to receive him, he
spreads the skins on the earthen floor—his saddle is his
pillow, and his blanket a counterpane. lle is the com-
pendium of a perfect travelling household.—Mayer's
Mexico.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT. -On Saturday morning,
about half-past one o'clock, as Mr. William Blackwell,
the proprietor of the Coach and Horses Inn, on the
Great Western Road, near Isleworth-gate was driving
an omnibus, with which be had been to fetch a private
party from Astley's Theatre, through the town of Old
Brentford, when near the cage a collision took place be-
tween the omnibus and a cart which was on the wrong
sido of the road, by which Mr. Blackwell was thrown
with great violence from his seat, and fell to the ground
bead foremost. He was immediately picked up, bleed-
ing profusely from his head, and conveyed in the omnibus
to his residence, where he was promptly attended by
Mr. Cooper, of New Brentford, and other surgeons,
when, on examination, it was discovered that in addition
to most serious injuries on the head, one of his shoul-
ders was dislocated and his collar-bone broken. Fortu-
nately no other person was hurt, but the omnibus was
much damaged, and one of the horses was so injured
that it was found necessary to kill it. The cart be-
longed to Mr. Lodge, market gardener,. Feltbam, Mid-
dlesex, and the driver was asleep at the moment of the
accident.

REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA;

THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND HIS lIMPIRE IN 1844.

By
" One wbo has seen and describes."
" TOt ou tard tout se scalt."—Maintenon.

Vasa volumes proceed from the pen of one intimately conversant
with the subject, and an eye-witness to much that he describes.
They will lead the reader through startling disclosures regarding the
reign, acts, and character of the Emperor Nicholas—the nature of
his government—the secret police, or Russian inquisition—the op-
pression of the nobility—the more than West Indian slavery of the
„peasantry, and the unparalleled persecution of Roman Catholics,
United Greeks, and Jews. They will also be found to contain mi-
nute and ample details on the naval and military force of the Russlim
empire ; together with a full account of the general conspiracy of the
Russian Nobility against the Imperial Government.
