DETETIC COCOA.

LTOMCEOPATIIIIC PATIENTS, DYSPEPTICS,
I_ and Persons of Delicate Constitutions are strongly re-
commended to use TAYLOR BROTHERS' DIETETIC CO-
COA, as being very superior to any preparation of the Cocoa
Nut hitherto introduced. This article is manufactured on a
peculiar principle, by which the oily portions of the nut are
neutralized, at the same time its flavour, purity, and nutritious
properties are maintained. It is an essential article of diet for
those under Homoeopathic Treatment, agrees with the most
delicate digestive organs, is agreeable and soothing to the ner-
vous system, and proves at the same time both invigorating
and refreshing.

TAYLOR BROTHERS' original SOLUBLE COCOA (only one-
third the price of Coffee), the consumption of which article
exceeds ONE MILLION POUNDS per annum—a fact which
has induced many parties to manufacture spurious imitations,
which, although somewhat resembling the appearance, are
totally devoid of the essential and peculiar properties of the
original and only genuine article. To guard against these
counterfeits, TAYLOR BROTHERS recommend the purchase
of their article in packets only which hear their name, with
directions for use. Sold by all Grocers-and Tea-dealers.
PURE MUSTARD.

Those who would procure this article truly GENUINE, are
invited to make trial of TAYLOR BROTHERS' EXTRA
STRONG MUSTARD, which is carefully prepared from the
choicest Brown Seed, of special growth, and is confidently re-
commended as possessing a PURITY and PIQUANCY of flavour
hitherto unknown. This Mustard being packed in TINFOIL,
is warranted to retain its original strength and flavour for any
reasonable length of time. Sold in lib., alb., and ill). packets,
bearing their name, by most respectable Grocers, Tea-dealers„

CAPTURE OF A SLAVER—SIX HUNDRED NEGROES
DROWNED.—Letters have been received from her Ma-
jesty's corvette Tweed, 18, Commander Lord Francis
Russell, dated Monte Video, August 2, where she had
arrived on the previous day from Pernambuco. On her
voyage she had taken a slave vessel of 100 tons burden,
with a cargo of 600 negroes on board, all of whom and
the crew, with the exception of five, horribly perished,
the captain of her having run her ashore on being chased
by the corvette. The Tweed was to sail on the 14th for
Buenos Ayres.

EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY WITH LORD RODEN.—
Two large meetings were held last week, in Dublin and
Belfast, to express sympathy with the dismissed Orange
magistrates. The meeting in Dublin was held at the
Leitrim Hotel on Wednesday, Viscount Lorton in the
chair. The principal speakers were the Earls of Ennis-
killen and Mayo, Lords Downes, Castlemaine, and Dun-
sany, and Mr. G. A. Hamilton, M.P., Colonel Bruen
M.P., Mr. Bunbury, M.P., Mr. J. Napier, M.P., &c.'
Letters were read at the meeting, cordially approving of
the object of it, from the Earl of Clancarty, Lord Bernard,
the Earl of Glengall, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl
of Charleville, Lord O'Neill, Lord Crofton, the Hon. So-
merset Maxwell, Sir A. Brooke, M.P., Colonel Taylor,
M.P., Sir W. Verner, M.P., Mr. Bateson, M.P., Capt.
Archdale, M.P., Sir E. Hayes, M.P., Mr. A. Boyd, Mr.
Humphreys, &c. The resolutions passed expressed re-
gard and respect for Lord Roden, and condemnation of
government. It was also resolved to send an address to
Lord Roden, and to prepare a petition to parliament, ask-
ing for inquiry into the cause of his dismissal, for both of
which purposes a committee was appointed. The Belfast
meeting was held on Tuesday last, and was a meeting of
the Ulster Protestant Association, the Marquis of Down-
shire taking the chair, and a great number of the magis-
tracy and gentry of the neighbourhood being present.
The principal speakers were Mr. Blackwood Price, Colo-
nel Ward, and the Dean of Ardagh, on whose motion
resolutions in vindication of the Earl of Roden and Messrs.
Beers were adopted. The Dean of Ardagh, in the course
of an eloquent speech, condemnatory of the government,
took occasion to say that the Popish system of education
had been established in Ireland, and an inquisition more
hideous than that at Rome set up. (" Shame, shame !")
He had proof that no clergyman in Ireland can receive
promotion from government unless he denounced. the
Protestant character of his religion. (Renewed cries of
" Shame !") In former years, when he was chaplain to
the lord-lieutenant, his recommendations for preferments
in his own neighbourhood used to be attended to ; but he
had lately recommended a clergyman for a preferment
little better than a curacy, and on the rev. gentleman at-
tending at the Castle, one of the servants of the head in-
quisitor came out with his (the clergyman's) papers, and
asked him was he friendly to the National Board of Edu-
cation ? On his replying in the negative, he was told
there was nothing for him at the Castle. (" Shame !")
All the speakers condemned the executive for favouring

LOLA MONTES AGAIN.—The Assemblee Nationale
gives another letter from its correspondent at Barcelona
respecting Lola Montes. It is dated the 20th, and i 3 as
follows :—" My previsions are realized ; the husband of
Lola Montes. forty-eight hours after his departure, wrote
to her from Mataro, imploring pardon. He besought her
to allow him to return to her feet. He terminated his
epistle thus If you have ever to complain of me show
me this letter, and it Rill be your talisman.' Mrs. Heald
set out next day by the railway, and some hours after
brought back Mr. Heald. According to what he states,
be declares that others persuaded him to depart, but
scarcely had he been separated from his wife when he
desired to return ; three times he attempted to escape on
the road, but too good a watch was kept over him. At
last, when he arrived at Mataro, he refused to go any
further, and then wrote her the letter alluded to above.

How THE TIMES GETS ITS INFORMATION.—Apropos
of the Times I just mentioned : the elaborate pains
taken by this journal to represent trade as improving in
Paris is intended as a flattery to President Bonaparte and
his government. It is for the same reason that the
honest thunderer represents every matter in the Bona-
partist and governmental point de vue, and calumniates
every man and every party that is opposed thereto. It
is a mistake, however, to suppose, as is done in England,
that direct pecuniary means are employed by the French
government to secure the support or forbearance of the
Times; the Times takes it out in early information.
" Let me know what is passing before any other journal,
and I'm for you !" is what the Times always says. It
said so to Guizot, then to Lamartine, then to Cavaignac,
then to Louis Bonaparte. No doubt it has said the same
thing at Vienna and at Naples; and it was by the same
means that it got its information from the French at
Rome. This is advantageous to the Times, but it does
not benefit the public.—Paris Correspondent of the
Britannia.

THE FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST.—A good family me-
dicine chest, with a prudent use, has saved many a life ;
and yet we think the idea might be improved upon and
reduced to a more simple form. Take some good com-
pound, such as Cockle's Antibilious Pills, and we find
that the desired end may be obtained without scales and
weights or little mysterious compartments and enchanted
bottles with chrystal stoppers. Others might be used ;
but COCKLE'S PILLS, as tested by many thousands of
persons, and found to answer their purpose so well, may
be set down as the best."—Observer.

COLUMN.

At this season of the year, it is usual with amateurs to
dig up the flower borders and apply a dressing of manure,
and we are very frequently asked the question, " What
can I do to make flowers grow in my garden ?" The
complaint is, that notwithstanding plenty of manure has
been applied, nothing seems to thrive. The reason is,
that flower gardens generally want draining tiles more
than manure. Strange to say, this most important ope-
ration is rarely thought of in connection with the flower
garden, where a cold heavy clayey soil is often thought
good enough for plants of the most delicate character ;
and yet surprise is manifested if any of them die under
such treatment.

Now the only chance of doing any good with plants
from a warmer climate than our own, is to insure as small
an amount of coldness in the soil as possible. This is
effected by good drainage, which most certainly raises the
terrestrial temperature very considerably, and at the same
time gets rid of unnecessary moisture. Dry soil is not so
good a conductor of heat as that which is wet ; the water
in which is a rapid conductor, by means of which terres-
trial heat is given off, and, of course, this happens most
at the season of the year when warmth about the roots
cannot be well spared.
We would therefore advise that all flower gardens
should be thoroughly drained, either by regular drains or
by a quantity of broken stone or building rubbish being
placed at some depth below the surface. The former
plan is not within the means of a great number of flo-
rists; but the latter is easy of accomplishment, and is
generally sufficiently effectual. This kind of drainage
should be at least eighteen inches thick, and three feet
from the surface. Having secured good drainage, the
next point is to improve the quality of the soil; for
flowering plants we before said strong manure is not
required ; but well decomposed leafmould is very bene-
ficial, which is not a rich manure, as some persons erro-
neously imagine. But as this cannot be obtained, the
exhaustion of the soil must be made up by manure
which is thoroughly decomposed.

PAPERS ON AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY.

NO. VI

In our last, we considered the nature and qualities of
humus ; but we forgot to mention a very important
function which that substance performs. It is this :
humus has a great affinity for oxygen, which it con-
stantly attracts in large quantities, until it is quite decom-
posed, and the result is solid humic acid and large
volumes of carbonic acid, which are evolved during the
process of decomposition : this, in its turn, furnishes the
vital air of the plants, amongst which it is formed, and
the roots of the plant, like its leaves, draw in large
quantities of carbonic acid gas, the carbon of which is
assimilated by the organs of the plant, and the oxygen
emitted, probably by the stomates of the leaves.
As this process of decomposition of vegetable matter
and formation of humic acid is chiefly below the surface,
the utility of stirring the soil around the roots of growing
plants will be readily seen, because the operation can
only proceed when atmospheric air is freely admitted.
If manure could be so buried in the soil that the air
could not act upon it, no decomposition and none of the
chemical changes we have indicated would take place, and
no benefit would be derived; but once admit that uni-
versal destroyer and revivifier to have access, and the
inert manure would be rapidly decomposed, and taken
up by myriads of rootlets, whose little spongioles, or
absorbent extremities, act like sponges, sucking up nutri-
ment for the sustenance of vegetation.
This opinion is at variance with that of Chevandier,
Mulder, and others, whose authority we hold in high
esteem ; but it is supported by Liebeg, Buchner, Lukas,
and other eminent chemists. One experiment which,
we think, confirms it, has often been tried, and that is
the cultivation of small plants in powdered charcoal,
which had been previously submitted to a red heat. Of
course, no humus was present in this or in the distilled
water used to keep it moist ; nevertheless, the plants
grew and throve, the charcoal rather gained than lost in
weight, and no other means of nourishment could have
existed than the carbonic acid gas, which charcoal has a
remarkable facility for extracting from the atmosphere.
We said that the result was rather a gain than a loss of
the charcoal, for, upon examination of some charcoal in
which plants had long been growing, Buchner found a
brown substance similar to humus. This we consider to
have been generated by the dying away of portions of the
roots, and their gradual conversion to humic acid, which,
we believe, would have been abundantly formed had the
experiment been longer carried out—thus showing a
wonderful system of agents and re-agents in the labora-
tory of nature. Charcoal is often upheld as a valuable
manure, but this is a mistake, as shown by the above-
mentioned experiments ; for, if it were such, it would be
assimilated in some form or other. The truth is, char-
coal has a remarkable property of absorbing water and
carbonic acid gas, both of which are essential to vegetable
life, and, combined, are capable of sustaining most of the
vegetable functions.

As a record of all that is new in plants or fruit, this is
a most useful little work, and is, from its cheapness,
within the range of every person. Some of the new
hybrid perpetual roses are well described, and the proper-
ties of show pinks laid down. This little book is a nzul-
tum in parvo of horticultural news.
