An °Meer of the °enures, recently' atti?`ed from
t. Helena, has addressed a letter to the Editor of
be ihnnitshire Thlegraph, from Which the following is
a extract:—

" The Dispatches brought by this ship from Sir
rumors Lows must have discovered to oar Governs
sent something like a new era in the life of BONA-
Apr's. When Sir HUDSON took the command at
se bland, Sot:Amore gave himcell many aira ; one
us—he, refused. so see any vi•siters; Another—he
would not take, any out-door exercise. It would
:spear, that, as he could not obtain the smallest-ee-
l:ration of Vie regulations ustablished for his safety,
h, hereby intended to render them practically inope-
!live. Pursuing this course, the want of exercise in
de open air became a pnwerlul auxiliary to his pee-
tubed state of mind, in rapping, the foundation of
hi health ; so that now his body discovers strong
synptoms of weakness and emaciation, and his niind
ofsullen despair. lie dues nothing whit regularity
slat depends upon himself ; he will dine, in the
coarse of a w:ek, at almost, every hour of the day
and night—from twelve at noon until midnight.—
I+ is necessitated, the moment he rises in the morn-
ing, to go into a warm bath, and there stay until he
foals his sluggish functions invigorated —the failt.re
of which would quickly threaten his life. Trie:e
new, cheerless, and unsocial matinees, as may be
easily imagined, have produced in Lis followers
something like a distaste for the company of a ba-
nished Emperor. LAS CASES has indl.ed plainly mani-
fested a detection. It is suspected that he is Flaying
the game of a genuine Frenchman of the Bonapartean
school. Soon after Boataeattre arrived there,
Cases commenced, as is known, employment in col-
lecting materials for writirg the lite of his master ;
and that he might, in his work, represent every cir-
cumstance in the most imposing light, and give pro-
per colouring to his imputed faults, tinder the sem-
blance of a high-wrought feeling of honour for his
historical lame, he wrerg from Bowteartreertn
what was the secret spring,of all the principal actions
of his devious and active life. Bonne/tare, it is said
by all, never nnbosomed himself so freely to any
person before. This great mass of document LAS
CA3ES took away with him to the Cape of Gond
Hope, from whence he hopes, in a few months, to
come to EnglasJ, and publish the work. fie for-
merly resided several years in England, and kept an
academy. Hi is a clever, artful man; his son, mho
has accompanied him, is likewise remarkably Shrewd
and intelligent. As he was embarking from Sc.
Helena, General BERTRAND came down to him from
Longwood, with a message from.Bonaraare, de-
manding the sum of £6OOO, which BERTRAND raid
lie had promised the Emperor, as they still call him.
LAS CASES remonstrated, saying it was all the money
lie had in the world ; but he at length complied.—
There is a.mystery in this circumstance which time
Must elucidate. Bonarawrs is so fully persuaded of
the impossibility of his ever making his escape from
St. Helena, that he has been heard in gusts of pas-
sion to express himself to this effect to BstrnANA.—
Three of his domestics came to England in this ship,
on their way to France; one of *them was his prin-
cipal velet : they left him on account of his dimi-
nished allowance rendering economy

him from that place"to St. Helena, the question was
asked of BONAPARTE and his Suite of what rank he
was ? that he might be • suitably treated ; but the
reply was—' lie is a poor devil of a fellow ; if it will
do him any good, call him Captain, but be has no
more right to it than this servant—turning to one of
BONAPARTE'S domestics. It appears that PONI•

. AGRICULTURE—Me following letter, addressed
by the Earl of AufiesciaLs, to the Norfolk Farmers,
is of so much impisrtance to agriculturalists in gene:.
ral, that we feel much pleasure in offering it to the
Public,.through the medium of our Paper :

'" GeNVaaeleir—Havlng made some experiments relating to
the pi:obability of a good crop next harvest, to be grown Irani
black barley used' for seed, I think it cannot be uninteresting
to you to be acquainted with the result.. Oa Saturday the 18;h
of January, I planted two hundred kernels of three different
sanspks of Barley, In separate mrs, 61/ed with mould, taken
from a turnip field (the turnips of which bad been fed off by
sheep), which came In course for barley. The kernels were
'not picked, but taken as they came to hand. The pots were
' placed to a hot bed—No. 1, was a sample of brgilit Barley, ra-
ther high coloured, having been got
„tip dry, but partially wetted
upon the stack, before it was thatched. 'I his Barley was sold
fat Marling market on the 21st of January at ttes. 6d. per coomb
....No. 2 was a sample of black Barley. of the quality of the black
barley generally, this year sold at line market on the 24th of
January, at I2s. per coomb—No. S was a sample art Wick barley,
which had been still more exposed to the rata thsu N 0.2. lam
not aware that any part was grown barley. On the eighth day
from the sowing (tatusday the 25th 01 January) I examined the
pots, and found that of two hundred kernels sown in pot No. s.
one hundred and three kernels appeared in a state of vegetation :
of two hundred kernels sown in put No. 2, one kernel appeared
In a state of vegetation ; and of two hundred kernels sown In
pot No. S. two kernel, aypeared in a state of vegetation. On
the 15th day from the sowiug (oat Saturday the Ist of February)
.1 again examined the pots,-and Sound that of two hundred her
nets sown in pot No. s , one hundred and ninety seven kernels ap.
peered in a state of vegetation ; of two huodred kernels sown
in pot No. it, thirty kernels appeared in a state of vegetation ;
and of two hundred kernels sown in pot No. 3, eighteen kernels
appeared in a state of vegetation. The few plants which
sh -.wed themselies in Nos. 11 and S, came up very irregularly,
• and looked unhealthy, so, much so, that it was the opinion in.
those who-examined them.with me, that had not particular care
been taken, anA,.1114 she barley been exposed to too much rain
or. druagbf, searctly io.inany, would. have vegetated. Oa the.
twenty second day trpiii 1.4 airstrips loci Saturday. the irk of

that of two hundred kernels sown in pot No. I, one hundred and'
ninety-seven keen* weaned in a state of vegetation; of two
hundred kernels eqwes w pr Ns. 2, this-trite kernels appeared
in a state of vegetation ; and of two hundred kernels sown in
pot No. S; nineteen kernels appeared in a state of vegetation.—
I hope this Statement may sane as a caution to such of you (and
Understand the number is very considerable) who are disposed
to trust to the black Barley for Seed; or at test that yous at-
tention 'holy be drawl's to a subject' of so much importance to
our County. It is in the power of every one of you to- prose the
