Your meals should be regular and not more than

much weakened should not be interrupted For

STEAM NAVIGATION TO EUROPE

We published yesterday extracts from two letters
which render il almost certain that the projec. for
steam communication between Europe x America
by way of London, Vaenta in Ireland Halifax, and
New York, will be carried into effect early in tbe
next season. The distance from Vaenlia the most
westerly port in Europe, TO Halifax, Is about 24CO
miles. From London to Vaen,ia, by way Of Bs-
tol and Cork, is about $50 miles by way of Liver
pool and Dublin 500, and by the British Channel
700. From Halifax to Boston is 44o miles, ard TO
New York $50. The course from Halifax to New
York. through Boston, is almost in right lne and
is something nearer than the most direct course by
water. 1t is computed that the passage by steam
navigation from Valenia TO HALIFAX will not exceed
fourteen days, and il will probably be accomplished
in shorter time from London to Valents, by way
OF Bristol, little more than . days from HALIFAX
TO New York in three days, and from Halifax 10
Boston in two days making for the whole passage
oi $500 miles. from London to Boston, eighteen
days at most and for favorable passages sixteen
days. The passage TO New York, being 2lo miles
longer, will require one day more.

Caution to FarmerS.-On second day morning
the Goth inst our neighborhood was alarmed by a
report that the new barn Of VIM. Painter was on
hre--in a very short time number of persons COL
lected and discovered smoke issuing from NOV
exclusively filled with hay, part oi which had been
taken in while in damp state Immediately they
commenced cutting round the funuel or chimney
from which the steam slowly escaped, and after
having with extreme labor descended about sixteen
feet, through an almost sufucaling smoke and smell
they arrived on a small bed Of fire which continued
to expand in size until they reached within one foot
OF the floor, on which the hay rested, when it ap
peared nearly feet in diameter. BY the appca
ton OF water as fast as the hay was removed they
were enabled to keep it down, and thus succeeded
in saving the barn.
The loss OF hay consumed is thought to be seye-
raj tons, and il is more than probable that if il had
not been so opporunely discovered, very shor,
time would have blown it into blaze, as it had then
worked down so low as to get air from the bottom
and was fast making itself vent through the body
OF the hay.
