INTERIOR OP AN IRISH CABIN.—In the winter time,
when the inclemency of the weather is so great as to
render it impossible for the inmates to endure the cold
with open door, and they are, consequently, obliged to
shut it, the interior is so full of smoke that you cannot

nut a large flame, to tell whether or not there were any
in the place. Then the floor, if floor it may be called,
of these wretched abodes, is well nigh as muddy as the
wall on the outside. The road, indeed, often has the
advantage of the cabin ; for in a frosty night, or when
the Weather has not been rainy fur some time, the road
is
adry ; but the Irish peasant's cabin' is perpetually in a
ddestate. The potatoes are all washed on the floor, is quantity of water, in this and other ways, which

interior of an Irish cabin, when it is thus no better than
a menagerie on a miniature scale—the poor peasant him
self being scarcely in a more favourable state than the
animals by which he is surrounded. The inmates ofe

anything worthy the name of bed on which to lay them-

BETTER ECTS FOR AGRICULTURISTS.—There

Wales

filet is gratifying, that the proprietors of this valuable,
tatablishment are carrying on the works with great spi-
rit, and that the high character of the make is obtaining
large orders. We understand that they have got " the
lion's share" in the contract for the London and Atmo-
spheric Railway.—Canibrian.
RADDINGTON CHURCH —ATTEMPTED BURNING.—
On Saturday afternoon, as the two beadles entered the
Parish church of Haddington, to remove.,tire,ceverings
from the seats for Sabbath, they discovered that the east-.
door was burnt to a considerable extent, and had fallen
from its lower hinges. A train of fire had been applied
to the door along the bottom, which, close to the ground,
had penetrated about half-way through the wood, while
around the lower hinge it had entirely consumed it. In
the inside, stones were found lying in the passage, which
bad been thrown through the panes of glass immediately
above the door, and lucifer matches were found about the
tert of the door, which led to the suspicion that the fire
had been wilful. The Provost, Procurator-Fiscal,
Sheriff, and other authorities, were active on Saturday
arid on Monday in taking the necessary steps to discover
the origin of the fire. Suspicion, as yet, attaches to no
Particular party.—Scotsman.
SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY,—CAPITAL.--MT. Charles
Bratton took out a certificate at the Castle, on Friday,
that all the capital of the South Devon Railway Coin-
Puny had been bona fide subscribed. Mr. Princeps, the
secretary, produced evidence of the fact, which must be
satisfactory to the county.— IVestern Times.
In addition to the numerous munificent donations
towards the establishment of baths and washhouses for
the poor, the East India Company have contributed
100/., and the Bishop of Winchester 501., towards this
Vzoellent undertaking.
