The embarkstion was, we saw, vigorously progressing to the sound of martial music, exuberant cheering, and not unfrequent cannon-ﬁre—-in enforcement, no doubt, of the orders signaled by the ﬂuttering buntin ofa screw two-dccker, bearing a rear- adniira ‘s ﬂag, By sun-down, we had dropped

‘ Because my dear sir, they hold by the Napoleonic maxim—qu'r'I faut aver son linge sale cliez sci’; a rule there is much to be said in favour of. Still, I prefer, on the whole, un- fettered, independent criticism, frequently savage and unjust as it may be towards indivi- duals.

DUNNING NOTICE.

The following “ Model” Dunnin Notice, is from the en of an American ‘ itor “ out West" Wi 1 our subscribers “read, mark and inwardly digest" its contents, and all to whom it will apply, will confer a favor on us by doing the thing that is ncedful.—Miri'micIu' Glcantr.

RUM Dsinsas’ Luann. —- The rum vdculers’ league in New York, which has been formed since the passage ofthe prohi- bitory law in that State, now numbers I4, 000 members, it is said, in New York city; a fact which it is not diﬂicult to credit, seeing that there are 7000 retail rum-shops in that city—and as all the employers in these, as well as the breweries, distilleries, importing and wholesale houses swell the roll oftlie league, the array is quite a formidable one. Each member pays an admission fee of$l0, which has created a fund of $140,000.

CAIIBAGIS roa Ccws.—-The editor oftlie ﬂgricullurul Gazelle (England) estimates one acre of cabbages to be worth three acres of turnips for cows. He recommends sowing seed in beds, either in autumn or spring, and transplanting toward the end of May, at the rate of 8000 plants to the acre. One pound of seed will produce about 2400 plants.

DOMIITIC Huii'rs.—The accomplished Lady Mary Wortley Montagus,who ﬁgured in the fashionable as well as the literary circles of her time, has said, that “ the most minute details of household economy he- come elegant and reﬁned, when they are ennobled by sentiment,” and they are truly snnobled when we attend them either from a sense of duty, or consideration for a pa- rent, or love to a husband. “ To furnish a room,” continues this lady, “ is no longer
