The interest which we feel in the pros

us TO notice and chronicle the early appear
anccs Of the fruits OF the planters diligence
and skill. When cotton blooms are for.

tho prospect they afford Of speedy and
abundant returns TO our industrious friends !;
this pleasure, however, being entirely SYM
pathetic, is moderate in degree, Ru, i,

b A LEAP FOR LlFE.-As the supervisor Of
inland revenue at Abcrydlhwilh, Mr. J.
Miller his nephew, and two profess onal
gentlemen, geologis;s, were last week
examining some strata Of rocks in the cliffs
between Aherydtwith and Llanr,hys,d,
they proceeded along a narrow ledge OF
projecting rock on the face Of the cliff,
about l29 feet above the level Of tho sea,
which providentially happened to be at full
flow. In passing round projecting angie,
which for ages has been frowncd upon all
below, the professor and revenue officer
had rounded the point, and the young man
was in the act of doing so when the rock
suddenly breaking from under his feet, hc
was whirled around with his face TO the
sea, and as he descended he seized with
one hand the ledge beneath his uncle's feet
while he extended the other hand to him;
and 1t was firmly claspcd by the revenue
officer, who held him suspended for full five
minutes, during which time he with gr..-,
difficulty maintained his position, there be.
ing but six inches TO stand upon.
At length a breathlcss paused. Wills,
Mr.: Miller gazcd on rugged projection oil
rock about ~ icet below them, on which
he concluded the unfortunate youth was
inevitably doomed TO be dashed. But the
uncle (who calls him san awful coward")
at length said, with all the camness imar-
Unable, "I'om there's but one way for il;
I'll save you or we will both perish to.
gether," and with firm voice, he COM
inanded the young man TO loose his hold OF
the rock which was mechanically o5cye,!,
with faint reply, ayes uncle. A, this
awful moment Mr.. Miller horizontally
sprang into the air, carrying the young
man with him, ond such was the force with
which he leapcd, that the check caused
them to throw several somcrsc,s over each
other as they descended linked together.
With the rapidlty OF a flash of lightning
they disappeared beneath the foaming
bilows, having cleared the craggy ledge
which projected more than six feet from,
The perpendicular OF the point over which
the youth was suspended TO the delight
of their companions who were momcnlariy
horror struck, they rose about twenty yards
apart, bnifetng the heavy swcls of the
flowing and returning waves: at length
they struck out for n rock that lay about
seventy yards in the sea, on which they
were seated and from which they gave
three hearty cheers. Their companions
attempted TO procure their rescue by OBJ
tanning boat, but owing to the breach in
the ledge found it impossible. and had to
proceed onward for more than three hours
before they were able to exlricate them
selves.

LIBELs BY THE BUsHEL.--MR. HENRY
(the Magistrate of Bow StreeO has lately
been advancing q new truth. so perfectly
astounding that we doubt il ho will get any
one to believe it.
Il He remarked, that @
''The Medical Students Of London were
the most disordery class with whom The
Police and tho Magistrates had to deal"
This cannot be the case: at least, not
police case. We always imagined that
there was no better. conducted class of
persons in the Metropolis than the Medical
students. We learn now, FIR the first
they are ever taken before Magistrate. III
our simplicity we thought that they
time, with the greatest surprise, that they
were so quiet, so wel-bchaved ut all public
places, that Police Office was the very
last place where they were likely to figure
in. MIR. Henry must be labouring under
mistake. He is probably confounding
the Medical Students with tho youthful
visitors. in this merry month Of May,
to Exeter Hall, two very different classes
Of persons. However, we hope, that the
Medical Students will not allow the above
imputation to hang over them. We trust
they viii Immediately hold n public
meeting, and spale no amount Of money,
noise, and ccr, in restoring their characters
to the high standard of spotlcss, unsuspectcd
purity popularity claimed for Cnsar's wife
and London Milk. And Medical Students
should be not only pure, but above
suspicion.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CHEss.-Wc stated sometime since that
Alr. Lowcnlal, noted Hungarian chess
player Of Cincinnati, is on his way to
London to take a hand in the great game Of
chess which is soon to come off there

In alinsion to this PLAYER the N. Orleans
Bee says: "Mr. Lowen,hal is a very great

Orleans, himself an enthusiastic amateur
Of the Eobc game of chess. Tho boy was
accustomed 10 look over the board while
his father was playing. AS soon as he had
