POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.—Tl’le Governor of Canada has laid before the Legislature of that Province the follow-

ing important despatch, which he has recently received from the Secretary for the Colonies:—

“ Downing Street, 3d Aug., 1843. “Sir——Having on my assumption ofthe seals of this Do- parttiient, found in my office a Report drawn up by the Corti- missioners appointed by the late Lord Sydeiiliam, to enquire into Ito system Oll which the Post Office in British North

America va .coiiducted; l addressed myself at an early aperio‘tl‘, tolfieia‘o‘, , iiSideration of this document, but the com«

As _to the food, we will add, that fattiua animals should have in wmter, grain, or roots, or oil-cake:3 Beefcannot be made on hay alone. In Great Britain, where they boast of their beef, turnips are generally employed; in the United States, the coarse grains are mostly used: As our turnip-cul- ture progresses, and progress we are confident it will, we shall be able to make cheaper, ifnot better beef. Assuminv that 600 bushels of Swedish turnips will grow upon an nor; of ground that willproduce thirty-five bushels ofcorn and that SIX bushels of the Swedes will fatten as much ab one bushel ofcorn, it will be seen that one acre in rttta baga will go about as farin makingbeef as three acres in corn, with

the further advantage, that the latter will cost four times as much labor in its culture as the former. Now we give an instance; in another. column, of the Swede yielding more than 1500 bushels to the acre, and the Opinion of an intelli- gent feeder, that two bushels are worth as much, for feeding, as one bushel of corp. The iiiangold wurtzel, the carrot and the parsnip, may be all raised in field culture, at about the same expense per acre as corn ; and they will ‘give as greats yield, and afford as much nutritnent as the ruta baga. The potato, whose culture we are all acquainted with, should be made to yield 300 bushels per acre, arid these afford a far more profitable feed than grain. A littl- lock-will consume from 100 to 140le. of rule bags in a day; but if fiill fed with this or other roots they will consume but

It will be seen, on referring to our first .page, that Capt. Swabey has published a disclaimer ofthe imputation upon his conduct, made by Mr. Maclean, in his address to the Court on the Lith case on the 2d inst. It is due also to Mr. Hutchinson, the Jailer, to state, that being in Court when the remarks with reference to liiinselfwere made, he made a public and positive denial of the truth of the assertion ; and took the first opportunity after the court rose, to demand oer. Mac— lean the name of the author of the aspersion. This the latter having refused to give, it must rest, conequently, upon his own authority.

lay communicating to you the course proposed to be taken on such of'tliem as we have been able to decide upon.

“ We have determined, in the first place, to substitute the system of weight for that ofenclosures, in the mode ofcliarg- ing the internal letters circulating in British North America; and secondly, to abolish the Newspaper privilege of the se-» veral Deputy Post Masters General, imposing oti the public it;stead,ia charge on Newspapers, ofone half'penny for each 5 act.

“Tliirdly, it is intended that the Colonial Legislative pro- ceedings shall circulate at the rate of one penny for four ounces, limiting the weight ofsuch proceedings sent by post, in ordinary cases, to sixteen ounces, but reserving power to the Governor, or Lieutenant Governor ofeacli Colony, to give a special direction to the Deputy Post Masters of the ,Colony, to send any particular Legislative proceedings through the Post, at the usual rate ofoiie penny for ‘four emcee, although the documents to be sent shall exceed the established limit ofIG ounces. Fourtth we propose to an. thorise the reduction of the internal rates on the correspom dance of British North America, conveyed either direct by Packet or priVate ship, or by way of the United States, to *and from this couiitry,to the uniform rate oftwo pence the

j hall'ouuce, the charge being progressive with the weight.”

F'A'r'ramno CATTLE.-Tl’le following judicious remarks

on this important subject we recommend to the atten-l

tive perusal of our Agricultural readers:—

At a Meeting of the Governors of the Academy, held on Friday se’nnight, Mr. Alex. Brown, oné'ofthe late Masters, was,weare glad to learn, provisionallyappointed tothe Second Mastership in that institution, in the room of Mr. Frederic Gore, who has accepted the Mastership ofn‘Graminar School in Upper Canada.

It always nfi'ords us pleasure to record any instance of liberality on the part of the Proprietors, to meet the desires of the deserving and industrious tenant. “7e are informed that David Stewart, Esq., of London, has given his Agents here instructions and power to remit to such tenants as they may think deserving of such favour, all back rents tip to November, 1840. We understand that that gentleman’s Agents have consequently cancelled the Rents dtie by seve- ral ofthe tenants, on condition oftheir paying their rents re- gularly in future. We are also much pleased to see that that gentleman has also agreed to take payment in Grain, salted Beef and Butter, which we think will ensure him the payment of his dues more regularly in future, for it‘ is im- possible for tenants, in remote settlements particularly, to make payi‘nent'oftheir rents in Casli.—Gaz.

DEPR'EDA'I‘IONSr—On Monday night last, some person or persons broke open the stable door of W. Lord, Esq., Mer- chant, oftbis town, and took therefrom a box belonging to his servant-man, containing wearing apparel, Bl. sterling, and a gold .ring. The box, with the clothes iii it, was [bund next morning in an adjoining yard; but the money and the ring

A certain quantity of food is required to prevent their growing leaii ; all beyond this it is the design ofthe feeder to have tiiaiiuliictni'ed into meat and tallow; or as Bakewell was wotit to say, converted lllIO money. It is all important, on the score of profit, that this process of convert- ing herbage and other animal food itito money should be managed as expeditiously as a well judged economy will permit. Upon this, as upon every other branch of'hiisbaiid- t'y, we may profit from the experience of others, if we are not too conceited and fastidious it] our own opinions. Young says, that “ then form without an idea oftlio necessi- ty of knowing what others have done before them; and it is very righttliat thousands of pounds should be lost, by feeding beasts 111 open sheds, by men who think they can learn nothing beyond the practice ofold women, their grand- mothers; while the board ofagriculture has annually brought to light practices unknown to the some men, who cannot see any use in such publications.”

As to the relative advantages iii the economy of feed, of having fatteiied cattle tied up, we have the declaration of Mr. Ellinau, well known as a distinguished li’erdsmaii, “ that nine oxen, fed loose in a yard, have, by eating as well as destroy- ing, consumed as iiiticli as 12 when tied up.” Although much may be said iii favor of keeping cows and store cattle in covered sheds, instead ofclose stables, there is no doubt but fattening beasts thrive best when constantly confined iii a warm stable, when proper attention to cleanliness is ob- served. We abstract the following rules, regarding the itin- migement of stall feeding cattle from the 12th No. of British Husbandi I

~ ‘ ‘ shelter front the weather, with a certain degree of warmth;

that is to say—if in open tramtiiels, the sheds should be broad, the rooflow, and the floor covered with an abundance ofdry litter. We are, however, decidedly of opinion, that close stalls will further the objects more promptly ; though We do not coincide with the idea that it will be promoted by too much heat, and we should therefore recommend a ino- derate degree of healthth ventilation. In these stalls litter is, indeed, very frequently dispensed with,—or else sand or any rubbish is substituted for straw, biit there can be no .(l’oubt that the animals enjoy the comfort ofa dry bed as well as their master, and the more they seek repose in it the better.‘ -

“The next is strict regularity in the administration of food—both as regards the stated quantity and the time of lupplying it. The periods may be afterwards altered. The 40x is a quiet animal, and those which are fed in the house

Quantity be not furnished, they become restleSs; but if the time and quantity be strictly adhered to, they remain tran- quil until the next period arrives. If no disturbance takes ,place, they then generally lie down and ruminate, and no-

- . tilting will be found more to forward the process of flitting

.than this perfect quietude; wherefore should the stalls be .not only well bedded, but light should be very much ex-

" .cluded, the doors should be closed, all outward annoyances,

as far as possible, prevented—and, in short, every means

i should be employed to promote complete rest, ease and con- ' tentment.

“Some persons serve it out as often as five times in a

day; but the most prudent, and, we think, the better prac-

tice, is to give it as oon as possible after daylight, at noon, Andsometime before sun-set; which enables the animals to fill their bellies, and to have time sufficient for that quiet 'di- gestion which is interrupted by too frequent feeding. 1n .'_ stating that the quantity should be moderate, we however al- tslude merely to the not allowing the animal to have so much use will cloy him: he ought to have as much as he can fairly .,_, 0h with a relish, but the moment he begins to toss it about, '. “,Wlll bethen evident that the keenness of his appetite is r. o. _, and it should be instantly removed,

GRATITUDE or A Nnono Kine—The captain ofa Portuguese schooner was lately captured on the coast. and taken before an Asliautee chief, as one who had aided in kidnapping one of the chief‘s wives. a beautiful white Ali'ican girl. from the mountains The caplniii acknowledged liisguilt. but desired the cliicftn exu- mine a signet-ring, which lie (the captain) worn. It was inscri- lbed with these Words, “ Iii reiiieiiibratice of ‘Hollowtiv’s Oint-'

inent and Pills.’ " It appears, that two years before, 'tbe chief had been afflicted with bad logs, and that the captain had sent him a fuw'pnli uftlie Ointment, and litilfa dozen boxes of“Hul- luway’s Pills," and that the alterative and tonic qualities of the latter, as a powerful auxiliary to the former inalchless ungiient, had complt-tcly restored him. The signal-ring and a hundred miiit-esofgold dust were sent to the captain at the time. And now the cliicfgave him a full pardon, cxliorting him to quit the infamous slave traffic. Let us add, that from positive experience, we can pronounce the, above preparations as true specifics, in gout, rheumatism. caticer,scrofiila, and all other maladies.
