he afterwards propagated his own. About
1850, Mr.. Blackwell fold his iheep, by
private contract, at not more than two OF
three guineas each. Some time afterA
wards, he began to let fome of his rams,
and for few. feafons received only fiji
teen fhillings and a guinea piece Tor
them; but as the fame of his breed ex-
tended itfelf, he advanced his prices, and
by the year 1870, was enabled to let Tome
of his rams for the feafon for twenty-five
guineas. After that time, the prices and
credit his flock progressively increaied;
till at laG, Jingle rams have been let tor
the feafon, at the enormous price OF four
hundred guineas! tits well known fact,
that one ram only produced in one feaion,
the fun of eight hundred guineas, indie

Their iheep Of equal weight and value.
Mr.. Blackwell improved his black horfes
by an attention to the form which is belt
adapted to ufe. His Rallions have been
let for the fearon, for upwards of one hum
dred guineas. Many anecdotes are re-
lated of his humanity towards the vari-
Gus orders of animals. He continually
deprecated the atrocious barbarities prac-
tiled by the butchers and drovers thew
ing, by examples on his own farm, the
mott pleaing inhances of docility of the
animals under his care. This eXtraordi-
nary man, more delerving, in our opini-
on, of the civic wreath than the warrior or
ftatefman, died Oct. 1, 1875, on the
fpot where he firR drew breath.

We have frequently expreaed our diff

guage of the admirers of this dete1table
tyrant and we are happy to find our OPT
mon fan6tioned by Mr.. Bowles, from
whole lat publication we take the follow
ing extract.
:" Who, then, will dare to proftitute the
name Of Greatness, by uniting it with
that of Bonaparte Monltrum nulla vir-
tute redemptum of whom no one trait of
generoGty is recorded who has, in no
one inAance, ufed fuccefs with modera-
ton the balenefs of Whole actions infi-
nitely exceeds the lplendour Of his victo-
ries who is fill more diltinguiihed by
craft, perhdy, cruelty, and oppreflion,
than by military achievements who, be-
lides having ihewn himielf, on various
occafions, as prodigal of human blood as
Robeipierre, is in other reipe6ts an OBJ
jea of fill greater detehation to every
virtuous and confederate mind, than even
that unfeeling monfer who crowded in
to Jingle expedition, treacherouily UNI
dertook againa country, enjoying,
without fuipicion of danger, profound
peace, and Whole government was in per-
fec amity with France, more bafencts &
atrocity than can be found in the life of any
other man who commenced that expedi-
lion with openly blalpheming his God, adj
iured the Savior of the world, renounc-
ing the faith which he had till then pro-
fened, and, to facilitate the fucceis ofhis
enterprise, hypocritically affirming there
ligion of the people whom he came to en-
fave who then unnece1farily anaulted a
defencelefs place, which he might have
obtained by luminous, and that he might
ftrke "a " falutary" terror, wantonly and
unfortunately mal1acred men, women,
and children at the breal ;who, after cau-
fng, by the orde-s which he iiiued, the
French Admiral to lofe his life with his
feet, illuminated his memory by attribu-
ting his difaRer to his own fault; who, at
Acre, fuddenly and treacherouly afiault-
ed the place, when, by propofng cef-
fation Of arms for the purpofe Of burying
the dead, he hoped he had put the garri-
Ton off its guard who, having in vain at
tempted to aiIaAinate, traduced Sir Sid
ney Smith, by falrely and nralicioully
charging him with intentionally expofne
his prifoners to the infection Of the plague
and, finally, who bafely deierted his own
army, and fecretly ftole away to France

On the Breeding of Cattle.

The mott fuccefsful experimental far
mer and cattle breeder ever known in En-
gland, was Mr.. Robert Blackwell, of
Diihley, in Leicefterlhire. Having re-
marked that domeaic animals in general
produce others poAefing qualities nearly
iimilar to their own, he conceived he had
only to rsle6t from all the mott valuable
breeds fuch as promiied to return the
greateft poiGble emolument to the breeder,
and that he ihould then be able, by care
full attention to progreflive improvements,
to produce race of iheep, horfes, horn

SHOCKING MURDER 4!

A letter from Bordeaux, dated the
goth ult. inherited in the lat Paris Papers
contains the following account Of horri-
bic crime, perpetrated a few days before
in the neighbourhood of Blaye:
A farmer had fold fone cattle to a per-
fon of that vicinity, at certain credit.
On the day of payment, not being able to
go himfelf, he refolvedto fend his daugh-
ter for the money. The latter had To-
yer, to whom ihe communicated the ob-
ie6 of her journey; and it may be natu-
rally fuppofed, that ihe invited him and
that he promiled to accompany her. But
1carcely had he received this proof of his
miltrefs's confidence when the mifcreant
thought of robbing her of the fun fhe
was going to procure. He communicated
this dehgn to three accomplices, who
were of courfe to ihare in the booty. Ha-
wing all four difguiled their drefs, and
blackened their faces, they proceeded to
lay in wait for the girl, who, difappoint-
ed of her lovers company had performed
the journey alone, and was now return
ing, after fucceeding in her milton.
From one of thofe fecret prefentiments,
which fometimes anticipate misfortune,
fhe had the precaution to conceal all the
money in her bonet, except twelve livres.
The robbers topped her and demanded
the money fhe had been to receive. She
anfwered ihe got no more than twelve Ii
vers, which ihe offered to give them.
fearching herr and finding no more than
two Gx-livre pieces in her pockets, they
permitted her to continue her Journey.
Scarcely had ihe left them, when the low
er recollecting himfelf, pretended that
they had not iearched her Efficiently, and
aliured them that they had been deceived
by her. The three accomplices took the
direct road, while he himfelf taking cir
cult, and walhing his face in brook in
his way, pretended that he had come to
meet her.
The moment fhe faw him, fhe thought
herGelf in fafety, and Immediately told
him what had happened, and the ftrata-
gem fhe had employed. This converfa-
ton took place near flh pond. A ihot
was heard land two fportlmen were feen at
a little ditance in purfuit of a hare. Fear
ing that he ihould be disappointed of his
prey, the wretch afIaGinated his miRrefs,
cut off her head, which he fuddenly
wrapped up in his handkerchief, and
throwing the body into the water, took to
flight: thinking that the hare had been
wounded, the fportfmen haftened into ths
fame direction ; traces of blood led them
to thicket, behind which the murderer
had concealed himfelf. His terror, ant
the appearance of the handkerchief, which
was covered with blood, induced them tc
think that he had feized the hare. They
tore it from him but what mutt have
been their horror, on finding that it con
tanned the bleeding head Of young fe
male. They inAantly apprehended thu
ahafin, and conducted him to the gaol o
Bordeaux. We have not yet heart
what has become OF his accomplices.
