GOLD THE PRESERVER or BEAUTY.—A very interesting
experiment was mentioned by Baron Larrey, the favourite
surgeon- of Napoleon, in one of the late sittings of the French
Academy of Sciences. During the campaign in Egypt, this
celebrated surgeon .had observed that when the inhabitants
of the
,country, of the higher class, were labouring under
confluant smallpox, which, there unmodified by vaccination,
when it does not kill, leaves dreadful marks; 'the' leeches of
the country. .applied gold leaf over' the whole surface of the
body where the pustules had appeared,. M. Legrand, a
French physician, on the suggestion of Baron Larrey,- em-
ployed this preservation in the case..of.a beautiful and young
English lady of rank labouring under one of the worst forms
of this scourge. A coating of gold leaf, in the state in which.
it is employed for gilding, was applied to the face by the me---
dium of a little gum to make it adhere. The young lady
recovered from the disease without marks, except on the
extremities and the central portions of the body..whtre the:
gold leaf had not been applied.

EAST KENT.—The accounts of the forthcoming crops of-
corn in this district generally represent them to be most fa-••
vourable. Wheat, although not so thick on the ground as in_
some years', promises an abundant yield. We baye seen but
very few pieces which have been injured by the late winds anti
rain, and as rarely have we met with c.rry stout or deticienecy.
in the ear ; the quality may therefore be expected tole good,:
and the yield may, with - safety, be estimated rather to
exceed an average growth. Bar:ey is almost invariably good ;
it is generally ripening gradually, 'although we have heard a
a few complaints of a too rapid change, and in some instari:i
ces, of its being lodged. -The procluee will, in all probability,
be much beyond an average. Beans promise very favoura-
bly—the straw is higher than usual, and with few exektitions
looks healthy---but as the pods are not so thick upciriiq stalk
as we have sometimes, witnessed, we do not thilik`thilito-
duce will exceed that of last year.. Peas, partieulariy-.,the
large greys, are exceedingly good. Some of the late Imps
have been injured 14 aolpitin, bet n;:t to any extensi,the
yield will certainly exeee:t car usull prodece. atplre not
generally so good as' -the other' crops, fh tp
e straW4iirk' tti*t'=
veral districts, very slight, but i, e think there will be but
little reason to complain, and that the produce will be found
nearly, if not quite, to reach an average growth. We con-
sider the stock of ld corn in this dittriet tg be more nearly
exhausted than is usual at this period of thd year.—Kentish
