THE COMMERCIAL CRISIS IN BRITAIN.

The English commercial crisis, whose premon-
itory symptoms were long ago chronicled in our
columns, is a fact now loudly proclaimed By the
highest authorities in this matter-the annual cir
culars issued from the British Chambers of Com
merce, and the leading commercial firms of the
kingdom, along with extensive bankruptcies, mills
running short time, and siinted export tables,
which .pesk to the same effect. According to
the latest official accounts relating to trade and
pavis siion," the declared value of enumerated
articles of export in the month ending Dec. 5,
was:
s5 ls'a; 4l ic's, s 5siti
Decrease in les4........ -6t.2 LES. g3
One cannot be astoDi.hed AZ the enieavor OF the
profe ssionsl free traders Of Crest Britain to show
that the present crisis, instead OF flowing from
the natural working Of the modern English sys-
TEN, and being altogether akin to the crises ex.
perienced at periodic Il intervals almost since the
end of the 18th century, must, on the contrary,
proceed from accidental and exceptional circum.
stances. According b the tenets Of their school,
commercial crises were out of the question after
the corn laws were abrogsted, aud free-trader
principles adopted by the British Legislature.
Now they not only have high prices OF corn with
an abundant harvest, but also commercial crisis.
California and Australia added 10 the markets OF
the world and pouring forth their golden streams,
with electric telegrsphs Transforming the whole
of Europe in one single Stock Exchange. and with
railways and steamers eentuplicatiDg the means
of Communication and Of exchange. If their
psnAees had TO be put to the test, they could not
have expected to do it under circumstances more
favorable than those which sgnalire the period
from lsi9 TO l'5i in the history Of trade and
commerce.
They have failed to realize their promises, and
naturally enough the war is now to be made the
scape goat Of free trade, just as the revolution
in ls4s was. They cannot deny, however, that
TO certain extent the Oriental complication has
delayed the revulsion, BY acting n check on

when their advance alone should have secured
the necessary supplies and sufficient orders for
future purchases. Thus II happened that the in
ports in the months Of July, August, September
ard October, 1854, reached but 1000 ara.
sgainst 2.l32, 600 qrs. in the corresponding
months of 1853. Besides, il can hardly be DOUBT
ed that consequent upon the repeal of the earn
laws such large tracts of arabic land were trans
formed into pasture in Britain, 50 to axe even sn
sbund ant harvest, under the new regime, relative
ly defective. Consequently, to quote circu-
lar Of the Hull Chamber OF Commerce, the
United Kingdom commences the year 1855

er and a good milch COW. Another farmer in
forms us that he knew of two cows being
worked as regularly as oxen, and work hard
too, from the time they were calves, till they
were SIX or seven years old, and they were Of
large size and very handsome. He understood
that they gave good mess OF milk when well
kept
Persons having opportunities of observing
the action of these animals, when subjected to
labor on the road, have been surprised by the
singular docility and mildness they evinced.
and the alacrty with which they obeyed the
commands, and even the motion of the driver.
On the small farms in Massachusetts,, and
especially near the cities, where the making
OF milk is the principle object, it is importan,
to dispense with oxen. A horse or two we
must have to go to market, meeting, or mill,
and with horse and two or four cows. all the
work of such farms may be conveniently per.
formed. These suggestions may seem to
some as of little value, but there certainly can
be no aiaarm in consideration of the subject.

This was his only epitaph. The wild cold
waves of that northern sea were splashing his

cloud which death hangs over life's pathway.
He had lifted the veil which hides TO mortal
eyes the future, where the shadows lie. He
had at last been buried in the Lethe of Forget

acutting Wheat Early.n

Under this heading we have seen an
article going the rounds of the papers for
several years, advising farmers to cut their
wheat as soon as the grain is 'out of the
milk" or just when in ''the doughy state. p
We have known several farmers practice
on this advice, and were manifestly losers
thereby, as might have been expected,
although it is probable that it made whittier
flour than if suffered to remain until dead
ripe before cutting.
On the other hand, many farmers are
in the habit of letting their wheat become
too ripe before they commence harvesting
and thereby lose considerable by shelling,
and by damage to the color Of the grain.
AS soon as the upper part of the straw
turns yellow, and the grain is too hard to
be easily crushed between the finger and
thumb, it is fit to be cut.
If the crop is attacked with rust, as is
often the case, just at ripening, it is adj
visable to cut it Immediately, or as soon
as the grain is past the milky state. The
same is true when badly affected with the
midge worm or "yellow weevil. ~ OHIO

Time to Cut Hay,

MEssRs. BATEHAM & HARRIS Il no.
ticed in the last number of the Caltuator
a Short Chapter on Hay, recommending
the cutting of hay green, &c. / beg to
present the views of quite q numerous
intelligent and experienced class offarmers.
They say that it stands to reason that a
ripe thing is more wholesome and better
than a green one. That hay cut after it
has gone out of blossom, just as the tops
begin to turn slightly yellow, (before it
gets dead ripe and as dry as stick, of
course,) is more nutritious, sweeter and
every way better, than hay cut green.
They know it because they have tried it
to their satisfaction. Where the two
kinds are put in stack in the same field,
horses show their preference by eating
that first. Hay cut as above stated can
be cnred in much less time than the green
hay, and the quicker hay can be cut and
put into the barn in good order the bet

New Mode of Fencing.

lie procured stakes of a suitable wood,
FIVE feet in length aud stepped the lower
portion of them in solution of blue
vitriol, one pound to forty of water-this
renders them almost indestructible by the
natural process of decay--he then drives
the stakes into the ground at a distance
of eight inches apart, bringing the tops
into straight line, and mailing upon them
a narrow strip of board, using one nail
for each stick. Among the advantages
of the fence thus made, apart from its
cheapness, it is said that "cattle and sheep

The Destruction Of Russia.


Rev. DIR. Cumming recently delivered
lecture in London, in which he predicted
the destruction of Russia He quoted
freely from the 3sth chapter of Ezekiel,
and endeavored to identify the names in
that chapter as the names of nations des-
tined to play momentous part in the
last days. The names of the nations
therein given that were to form themselves
into confederacy in the last times, were
Cog, Magog, Meshech, Tnbai, Gomar,
Togannah and Tarshish.
He referred to the first map of the an
cient world, in Bagster's Polyglot Bible,
as very fair picture of the distribution
of these races. EIc showd the descen-
dants Of Cog and Magog as inhabiting
the east and northeast of the EuXine, on
the Don, the Dnieper, and the Caucasus.
Josephus says: "The Scythians were call
ed Magog by the Greeks" Caucasus is
Gog-chasan, .. e. Gog's fort. Meshech
is settled amid the Moshie Mountains,
east of the Black Sea- The river Araxes
is Rosh in Arabic, and the people on its
Oduh HClC ulSU CdilCO Ieooh W oS
the Russian Tubal was the origin of
Tobolsk; Meshech the source of Muscovy.
1t is the Prince of Rosh, Meshech and
Tubal who is to head the last confederacy.
Conner first settled in Asia Minor, spread
into the Crimea, formerly Cimmera-a
word originating in Conner, then extended
into Germany, or Gomerland. These are
to be united in pre-occupying Palestine,
now portion of the Sultan's dominions,
and preventing the predicted return of
the Jews. ,,...5
From the express prediction of Ezekiel,
xxxviii, he gathered that this confederacy,
of which the Prince of Rosh, Tubal and
Meshech was the leader 4. e. the Car,
had now began it career. From one part
of the chapter he gathered it would be
arrested in its course for little by quiet,
supposed by US to be peace; but only
to accumulate again as gigantic avail
anche driven by irresistible force towards
Palestine. Q Conner or Germany, would
unite with Russia, and swell its bulk and
add to its impetus. But he showed, after
Chamberlain, that 'Tarshish and its lions,
described as commercial warlike nation,
having ships and wealth, and traffic with
the East, which was to oppose and meet
the Prince of Rosh with great power,
was in all probability, the type and sym.
Dol of Great Britain"
The lecturer quoted from Bishops Lowtt
and Horsley, and showed that these grea,
divines concurred in this. From all these
and many other grounds, he came to the
conclusion that Russia would sooner Of
later possess the Mediterranean, seize
Palestine, and on its plains, in the Ian
guage of the prophet, finally perish amid
the judgments of Heaven.
