On such an occasion, Lord Ne son would look round with wild anxiety, and as all his otliccrs kept silence, he would say : "Vt'hat! none of you speak for him?

;ont that there are more lllttlllilllltr crops to be

raised than fifteen bushels of nuts or wheat to lllt‘ acre. Mr. Andrew's mode ofcullure seems I: ltuve

It was retentive of moisture, but free from standing water. product an annual crop ofvile moss, and about half a ton ofgood hay per acre. its previous culture was a slight mauuring, breaking up, and cultiva- ting with potatoes the previous year. Early in the succeeding spring llle preparation for the tur- nip crop began. First the rocks were broken, and all stones removed from the field. Next the land was well mauttted, and ploughed not less than twelve inches deep, and thoroughly ltnrrotv- ed. After two weeks it was again mounted. and ploughed half as deep as before, and liarrowcd. With intervals of a few days it was ploughctl and harrowcd twice more, and a small quantity of ma- nura burrowed into the surface. A‘. this stage of preparation, the soil lay in a soft, uniform bed. at least twelve inches deep. The change effected in its appearance was surprising. The yellow, cold, shallow and hard soil ofthe preceding year. had become ofa rich, dark color, warm, deep and light. Thronglt this bed furrows were drawn fifteen inches apart, into which were drilled a composi- tiort of the richest manure from the fattu, with ashes, lime and gypsum. The furrows were then turr. back over these drills with the plough, leaving th land in ridges, which were slightly raked off and nicely finished with the srden take. Through the tops of these ridges directly over the manure, a channel was made or t a seed, drawing along them the corner of a hoe with slight pressure. lnto this channel I e seeds were dropped by hand, halfa dozen in a place, with intervals of eighrluches. They were then cover- ed by drawing the back ofthe rake over them, and the lanting was done, the seed deposited with rcgu sr spaces of fifteen inches one way and eight the other, on rounded and slightl elevated ridges, planted in earth made rich for t eir germination, and having a bed of rich manure only an inch or two below them, into which the young rootlets, as soon as formed, might plunge and revel. a scan as the plants were large enough, they were thin- ned ottt by the removal of all but the best plants from each place, and csrefttlly heed by head, at intervals of a week, four times. when they basame too large to work among longer without injury to the cm . re was scarcely a vacant or small p ant in the field. They were very uniform in size; the tops covered all the ground, and formed a crop unrivalled for beauty. The variety ofturnip was the common long white. To show the facility with which turnips so cultivated may he gathered, I will add that they were all pulled and laid carefully in rows, with the tops all one way, by two passe, at the rate of more than

lt is doubtful if such a steamer could enter ottr harbour. and Halifax is therefore regarded as the most suitable tort for this now move in ocean navigation.

In a foreign per we find a history of the Holy Shrines, t e possession of which is said to be the chief cause of dispute between Russia and Turkey. From this account we learn that sanctuaries or cltttrcltes built on the site of the grcttt uiii-at-les of the Redemption were found by St. Helena and her son, Constantine the Great. 'l‘ltoy were destroyed by the Sovereign, of Persia in 614, re-established by the Emperor lluruelius an some years a tterwarda were M- ken possession of b the Kalil’ Omar, who per- initted the faithful to have access to them. They were aubisquently destroyed by Aniurath, and rt--established by llll mother Mary. a bris- tiau. in 1006. About the middle of the 14th cctttttr , Robert, King of Sicily, purchased from the Roldan of Egypt the Sanctuaries, and placed them under the gttardanship of tho Frau- ciscnu monks. In the beginning of the six- teenth centu the Holy hand was conquered by Selim. an the treat be een his succes- sor and Francis . p under the protection of the crown of France the Holy places, as well as the monks who cm.

In 1757 a "serious collision took place be- tween the Greeks and Iatius, in consequence of some Greek pil ims havin pillaged the Iatin convent of Ja Complaints were made to the Divan, and after some patient hearing of the matter, the Iatins were expelled from the Church of the Vir 'n, and that of Bethelem and the Hot Se hrs and other sanctuaries were pla an or guardianship of the Greek monks. From this time the latins gra- duallyslplst the prerogatives they had previously

seen .

A new cause of dissension arose in 1803. The Holy Sepulchre was partly consumed by fire. The Greeks claimed and obtained from the Ports the ri ht to rebuild the co la of the ehurch,and hav ng done so, they irned ad- ditional prerogatives; but their architect was accused of having intentionally destroyed the tombs of the kings of Jerusalata that had been preserved in the same church, and of having used the materials in the cons .0 e Since then disputes have been requent between the lntins and the Greeks, and even the _Armenians profited b dissensions and the oupidit of the mars, and purchased from e Porte the enjoi- mcnt of privileges that interfered with bo . To put an end to these troubles an understand- ing was ooute to by Innis XVIII, who acted on the ground of his being the “ hereditary pro- tector of the Catholics of the Fast,” and the Emperor Alexander,‘ who so as “ the sove- reign of the ter number of the followers of the Greek e arch,” to endeavour to obtain some arrangement from the Porte which, under the combined gun tee of wers, might put an end to the constant dis ates be- tween the Greeks and Iatins. might Inc the preroptives, and established a common enjoy- ment.

Ever 'thin relntin to the ro as of the Chrlstiitu arfits in China must ‘ling.-'s.sarlly pos- sess u deep interest for the English reader. It is now manifest that the struggle which is shaking that Empire to its centre is not more It contention for supremacy between one race of mankind and another, than a resolute endeavour to substitute the li ht and truth oft. hristianity for the dark and egradiug gloom of an l|ll(‘l- eut. but hideous, paganism. We are happy to say that the progress of the cause conti- nues to he as successful and wonderful as ever. By the last mail from China we learn tbata dotatohrueut of the “ patriot army” bad sod- denly made itself master of the great tradin port of Aruoy, and that the inhabitants lta received them rather as deliverers than captors. “ The capture of Auto '," says a correspondent, “ situated, as it is, 7 miles to the rearward of the nearest of the two grand armies of the in- surgents, together with the conduct of the in- habitants and local authorities on the occasion, has manifested the extended organisation of the rebel power and the hopelessness of tho Tartar cause ; and the orderly behaviour of the captors of Amoy immediately after the storming of the town. and the eivi ity of the rebels to tho l-Europeans, both, on that occasion and also at

snktn, have justitirrl the expectations now ur- nerally entertained, that the establishment of the Ming dynasty will terminate the vaxstious restric- tions to foreign trade and intercourse that have ltithcrto prevailed." It appears, indeed, that the people of Aluoy, including the tvltorffioolit.-s, and other classes etnployul at the port, hailed the insurgents as deliverers, and immediately rose on the. 'l‘artar authorities. and destroyed the Custom- house aml other publtc butdmgs, taking special precautions not to euduttger the houses amt pro party of the English and other forcigrtors. ltotlt

y water and by land the Maudsrins made a weak pretence of opposition, firing from the war-junlis at such a distance that they could do no possible harm, and defending the citadel with so little zeal that ten ntco killed or hurt by accidental explo- aions were all the casualties ofthe day. In return for their forbearance the lmperislists were allowed to escape, and, unless they are ofthe proscribed race, are probably by this time in the ranks of llte “ patriot array.“ 'l‘ltc very day after the cap lure of Annoy the shops were opened, business was resumed, foreigners were uumolested, and, indeed, more at liberty than before. It wail plain that the inhabitants had been fully prepared for their visitors, and only waited their arrival to throw offs painful yoltu
