SIMPLE CURE FOR sTAMMERING

Mr. Wakefield, at an inquest held lately,
in England, stated that few days back the
summoning officer told him it would be use
less to call one witness, a lad, because he
suffered so excessively that he could hardly
articulate the shortest sentence in half an
hour. Mr.. Wakefield, however had him call
ed, and telling him that, as shot could not he
discharged from gun without powder or
air, so words could not come from the mouth
unless the lungs had their powder, viz: air.
He told the hoy TO InhaIc air. or draw in his

Mr.. Wakefield asked him

band, whom il had been reported she had al
so murdered. But on Friday morning, the
2:}d inst. as her end rapidly approached, she
added a cOdicll To her first confession, or rath-

that she had given her first husband a dose OF
arsenic. which, although he did not die imme-

the execution thatthe scene was awful. Not

FRrE TRADE.-The announcement of the
quantity of WI heat TO be obtained from the
ports of the Baltic and the Mediterranean,
at low prices. for the English market. is i'm
porfant to our Western friends. We trust
they will soon be convinced that free trade,
as far as they are concerned. is all humbug.
The opening of the ports in England. so far
from being beneficial TO them. gives the ad-
vantages 10 the Europen ports and they
must lose the market they have through
Canada. If they know what is for their
own interest, they will become as ardent sup
porters of protective tariff, as any of the
manufacturers of The Eastern states; for
they will now find the home market their only
reliance, for disposing Of their produce at
prices. This result has been
long loieseen and fo-etold, and many facts
and statistics have been published TO prove
the prediction; but some people are wilfully
blind, and sacrifice national, and frequently
personal interests, to the promotion of pol
iiical partizans. A bold and steady support
of the Tariff. as 1t is, is the only Safeguard Of
the agriculturist and manufacturer. The in
terests Of these two classes are intimately

half the diamonds produced by the
mine of Sincura /; and depreciation
in their value must ensue.
"BraziI, which previously furnished
the diamonds of commerce, did not
produce, of them, before the discovery
of this mine, more than twelve or fif-
teen pounds, avoirdupois, per year ;
and these cost so much, in their search.
as to give them high value, even in
the rough state. Thus far, only dia-
'monds of small size have been found at
Sincura.
THE region of the mine Of Sincura
presents the spectacle of an independ-
emf colony, in the bosom of the mother
country. Thus far, the government
has taken 40 measures to either direct
or control this new development Of in
dustry, which promises to become so
abundant a source Of riches to the
province of Bahia and it will, per-
haps, find it expedient to sanction the
regulations which the inhabitants have
established, for their own protection,
in the prosecution Of their explorations
of the Sincura mine-which already
embraces superfce Of more than thir-
ty leagues.

D' Many years ago a joint stock
company was formed for the purpose
of establishing a London daily journal.
That journal was named sthe Times"
On its first appearance it was small,
dingy looking sheet; but as it possess
sed talents which forced it into notice,
it soon attracted public attention, and
gradually increased in size, power and
influence. The property is al the
present time, divided into twcntv-fodr
shares, of which sixteen belong TO Mr..
John Walter. The political opinions
of the journal are directed by the ma
jority Of votes on the par, Of the share
holders and thus, as Mr.. Walter pos.
sesscs two-thirds Of the entire property,
his voice alone controls the bias of the
journal.
The /" Times" is Of course excellent
property. II is said that Mr.. Walter
gave his daughter, as her wedding por-
ton, the profits of the first column Of
advertisements in the first page Of the
journal-a splendid fortune. 1t never
grants credit TO any one, and is, in
every sense Of the phrase, a ready
money concern. Every notice Of d
death or marriage is charged-thc
simplest announcement not being ins
serted for less than seven shillings and
sxpence, nearly two dollars. The
value of the /" Times" in a purely
commercial point of view, is .e3l2 900
each share being worth .el3,0O0.--
The annual profit of the Times" is
about 945,000, of which Mr.. Walter
receives, as his portion, e30.000--a
very pretty little income.--- London
