     Bhutan—A farmer who should think to 
     
     grow profitable crops without a generous appli- 
     
     cation ofmanure to his soil, would be as unWIse 
     
     as a person who should calculate to live in ease 
     
     and luxury all his days without money—Manure 
     
     is the capital ofthe liiisbzrndman, which deposn- 
     
     ed in the Earth Bank will yield a high rate of 
     
     interest. The supply ordinarilyvobtaiued from 
     
     the stable, however well husbanded, is quite too 
     
     small. A good farmer has throughout the year 
     
     taken care to collect muck, turf, vegetable sub- 
     
     stances, lime, ashes, &c., and made a compost 
     
     of them, either in heaps by themselves, or what 
     
     is better, by mixing them with his stable and hog 
     
     manures. The removing of manure to the field 
     
     should be delayed till just as you are about to 
     
     plough and turn it under. If carried out some 
     
     days before, it loses by evaporation, or is wash- 
     
     ed away by the rains to fertilize some other per- 
     
     son’s land. New manure is the strongest, and 
     
     should be buried pretty deep. Old manure is 
     
     best for the garden, and as a deposit in corn 
     
     hills. This gives the young plants a start, in 
     
     ,time' to command the benefits ofthe new manure 
     
     ploughed in, which in due season becomes suffi- 
     
     ciently decomposed to supply the proper food. 
     
    
   
   
    
     DISGRACEFUL txs’mxcs or‘ SUPERSTITION.-— 
     
     The citrate ofTaltique was an intelligent man 
     
     \vithal, and full of information and anecdote. 
     
     His illustrations of the Indian character were 
     
     highly interesting, and his remarks on the pro- 
     
     pensity ofthat people to idolatry, both sensible 
     
     and amusing. With reference to. this subject. 
     
     he related to us the following, among other anec- 
     
     dotes. One of his predecessnrs in the curacy 
     
     had detected his parishioners in the adoration of 
     
     a god of their own. This was no other than an 
     
     old Indian, whom they had dressed up in a par- 
     
     ticular way, and installed in a but, where they 
     
     went to worship him, offering him the fruits of 
     
     their industry as a tribute, and performing in his 
     
     presence. certain religious rites, according to 
     
     their ancient practice. His godship, who had no 
     
     manner of work to do, and was regaled with all 
     
     the good things that the village afforded, found 
     
     this a sufficiently pleasant mode oflife’, and wil- 
     
     lingly sustained the character he had been made 
     
     to assume. But such impious proceedings the 
     
     curate was determined not to suffer. He reinon- 
     
     strated with his flock, and admonished them 
     
     both in public and private, but all to no purp0se: 
     
     he was listened to by no one; he threatened, 
     
     and was threatened in turn. He now adopted 
     
     another course, and affecting to approve the con- 
     
     duct of his parishioners, liumoured them in the 
     
     mad whim they had been seized with. It was at 
     
     that time ofthe year called Passion Week, when 
     
     certain ceremonies are performed in commemo-’ 
     
     ration of the sufferings of our Saviour on the 
     
     cross. The curate proposed that the passion 
     
     and death of Christ should be represented by the 
     
     Indian deity in person ; that he should have a 
     
     crown of thorns put on his head, and be whipped 
     
     and crucified. “ After he is dead and buried,”

     TRE Baas—As we do not recollect any other 
     
     instance of a British colour'be'rng captured on 
     
     the field during the 'war,,we shall explain under 
     
     what circumstances this battalion was surprised. 
     
     It formed part of General Halkett’s brigade ofthe 
     
     3d, but had been attached to support General 
     
     Pack’s brigade of the 5th division. Perceivnig 
     
     that the cuirassiers were about to charge, Pack 
     
     ordered the 69th to form square; but thema- 
     
     noeuvre was scarcely completed when the Prince 
     
     of Orange rode up, and directed the battalion to 
     
     reform line; before this could be effected, the 
     
     cuirassiers were amongst its moving diVisions, 
     
     and in a few minutes out down near 200 men ; 
     
     the rest of the regiment foutid refuge in the 
     
     squares of the 42d and 92d Highlanders. The 
     
     intrepidity shown on this occasion by a volunteer 
     
     named .Clark, merits notice :.this young soldier, 
     
     although bleeding from many wounds, was seen 
     
     contending successfully against several of_the 
     
     French troops after the route :of his battalion. 
     
     His heroic conduct was rewarded with a com- 
     
     mission in the 42d regiment. One of his wounds 
     
     —of which he had 23, as was certified by Dr. 
     
     James Bartlet, who dressed him—cost him the 
     
     use. of an arm.

     Mrs. Catherine Bruce, the last of the Royal 
     
     house, died in l79l, at a very advanced age: 
     
     only a short time before her death Burns called 
     
     upon her, and, though she was almost speechless 
     
     from paralysis, she entertained him nobly, and 
     
     conferred the honor of knighthood on him With 
     
     the Bruce’s two-handed sword, saying she had a 
     
     better right to grant the title than “ some people.” 
     
     After dinner, the first toastshe gave, was “ Awa’ 
     
     uncos!” that is, away with the strangers, which 
     
     shewed her Jacobite feelings to the house of Ha-

     ABDLITION or CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Ewan'r, on Thursday, moved a resolution, 
     
     “That it is expedient that the punishment of 
     
     death be abolished.” He contended that expe- 
     
     rience of the effects of initigating’sevevre punish- 
     
     ments ought to induce the Legislature to aflirm 
     
     his resolution. By reference to criminal statis- 
     
     tics, Mr. Ewart proved, that‘fmitigation of 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     said the curate, “ he, of course, will rise again, 
     
     and then we will all believe in him.” The In- 
     
     dians were delighted with the idea, and, in their 
     
     simplicity, determined to proceed according to 
     
     the suggestions of their pastor. The old Indian 
     
     was brought forth, and, nolcns volcns, was deco- 
     
     rated with the thorny crown ; he then received 
     
     an awful flagellatiou, and, finally, in spite of his 
     
     entreaties to be exempted from so great and un- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' merited a distinction, was actually crucified. As 
     
    
   
   
    
     soon as the poor Indian was fairly dead,'they took 
     
     him down, and carried him to the village church, 
     
     where, having laid him out, they watched him, 
     
     and waited with intense interest for the third day, 
     
     when he was to return to life. But before that 
     
     day arrived, the body exhibited sticli symptoms 
     
     of dissolution, and began to be so ofi'cnsive, that 
     
     the Indians already entertained doubts of the le- 
     
     gitimacy of their god. They held out, however, 
     
     till the expiration of the third, when finding that 
     
     there was to be no resurrection, they dragged 
     
     the body out ofthe church and threw iton a dung- 
     
     hill. From that time forward they submitted 
     
     with exemplary docility to the directions oftheir 
     
     spiritual guide—glIontgomery’s Journey to Gua-

     The prospect of peiiury in age is so gloomy 
     
     and terrifying, that every man who looks before 
     
     him must resolve to avoid it; and it must be 
     
     avoided generally by the science of sparing. 
     
     ,For, though in every age there are some, who 
     
     by bold adventures, or by favourable accidents, 
     
     rise suddenly to riches, yet it is dangerous to 
     
     indulge “apes of such rare events; and the bulk 
     
     of mankind ,must owe their affluence to small 
     
     and gradual profits, below which their expenses 
     
     must be resolutely reduced.

     world. That jacket ofjacke‘ts, which is said to 
     
     cost the Prince £l00 in wear and tear every 
     
     time it is put on, has already impressed the Eng- 
     
     lish public with the extent of his possessions;

     crime; that punishment was more certain, and 
     
     the proportion of convictions ". to" committals 
     
     greater, since executions had become rare. In a 
     
     given period previous to the abolition of the 
     
     punishment of death for many ofl‘énces, the exe- 
     
     cutions were85; during a similar period after 
     
     the mitigation of punishments, the executions 
     
     were 25, while convictions had increased from 
     
     1,536 to 1,783. The punishment was mitigated, 
     
     but impunity for crime was diminished. He 
     
     referred to France, Belgium, Bo‘mbay when Sir 
     
     James Macintosh was Judge of the Supreme 
     
     Court, and to Delhi under thejgovernrnent of 
     
     Sir Charles Metcalfe, for evidence that the dimi- 
     
     nution of capital punishments in Europe, and 
     
     their entire abolition in the parts of India referrer] 
     
     to, had produced decrease of crime. Murder 
     
     was virtually the only crime now punished in 
     
     England with death. But the person who corn- 
     
     mitted murder either acted from? calculation or 
     
     sudden impulse: if he acted frcim calculation, 
     
     the fear of death did not restrain him; if from 
     
     impulse, be overlooked the cons'equences of his 
     
     deed: in either case the punishment was unavail- 
     
     iiig. ~ Public opinion, he contended,‘was against 
     
     executions even for murder; but at all events, it 
     
     was the duty ofthe Legislature to humanize the 
     
     people. It was mostiinpor'tant to impress upon 
     
     a people the inviolability of human life. He 
     
     called upon the House to assent to his proposi- 
     
     tion, and to resign the awful attribute of dispen- 
     
     sing with humau life into the hands of God who 
     
     ave it. ' - 
     
    

    
     Mr. liawn’s seconded the motion. ' 
     
    

    
     Lord JouN RUSSELL repected Mr. Ewart’s 
     
     motives, and admired the ability his speech dis- 
     
     played; but he objected to the course he took. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     They ought to proceed by bill, if at all. It would 
     
     lbe unwise to place on theirjoumils a. resolution 
     
     iwhich might be appealed tolwith great popular 
     
     jeffect, but which would not make an alteration 
     
     in the law, or authorize the Judges to infringe 
     
     it. He disagreed with portions bf Mr. Ewart’s 
     
     argument. A principal 'reason for abolishing 
     
     death for horse stealing, larceny in a dwelling- 
     
     house, and crimes of that description, was the 
     
     reluctance of juries to subject offenders to pu- 
     
     nishments disproportioned to ' their crimes: but 
     
     no such feelings prevailed in cases of murder. 
     
     Popular sympathy was not excited for a murderer; 
     
     he believed that few thought that Greenacre’s 
     
     life ought to have been spared. That, however, 
     
     was an atrocious case, and Lord John certainly 
     
     ivished that there could be a distinction drawn 
     
     between murders of the worst kind and those 
     
     which approached more nearly to manslaughter. 
     
     As to Mr. Ewart’s argument,from the fact that ii 
     
     murderer acted from calculation or impulse, 
     
     the same might be said of all other crimes. 
     
     Though an enemy to capital punishments, and 
     
     rejoicing in the good effects of mitigating them 
     
     already experienced, Lord John was not prepa- 
     
     red to go so far as Mr. Ewart. He thought there

     the proceeding ought to be by bill and 110‘ byt'?‘ 
     
     solution, and he should move an amendmen 0 
     
     that effect. He was opposed. to the punishment 
     
     of death, not because he believed it contrary to 
     
     the law of God, (an opinion held by a. constde- 
     
     rable body of persons in_ this country.) bl“ 
     
     because capital punishment for murder did q‘ot 
     
     prevent the offence; and he saw. no reasons 05 
     
     any punishment, but prevention of crime-an 
     
     the reformation of the ofi'ender. It waspainful 
     
     to behold the readiness with which juries con- 
     
     victed men of atrocious crimes upon imperfect 
     
     evidence; and it was a fact. lately stated .by 
     
     Baron Gurney, that the facility of comiction 
     
     was in proportion to the atrocity of the ofl'ence. 
     
     But this remark did not apply to casegwhere 
     
     the punishment was death. Then, the judges, 
     
     knowing the fallaciousness of human testimony, 
     
     used all their astuteness io suggest reasons to in 
     
     jury for acquitting prisoners. Why l—because 
     
     the law shut the door against further inquiry, 
     
     and time was not allowed to remedy the conse- 
     
     quences of false‘ testimony. Witnesses gave 
     
     their evidence with reluctance, and juries were 
     
     slow .to convict. . Certainty of punishment was 
     
     essential; but so long as human life was at stake, 
     
     the ordinary feelings of humanity would operate 
     
     with juries, and make them slow to inflict an 
     
     irretrievable punishment; This must ever be 
     
     the case; for he would ask any man, in the 
     
     House—he would ask any man of honour and 
     
     feelings of religion—whether if he were sitting as 
     
     a juror, and were asked to pronounce sentence 
     
     upon his honour, and according to those feelings 
     
     of religion, he would not require more stringent 
     
     and complete evidence where the life ofa tellow 
     
     creature was at stake than when transportation 
     
     ' He asked, then, whether, 
     
     on this question of the certainty of‘ punishment, 
     
     he had not demonstrated that capital punish- 
     
     ment was not er- necessitate from the nature of 
     
     man less certain than any other, and whether so 
     
     long as death was a punishment, judges would 
     
     not exercise a commendable astuteness and rack 
     
     their minds to discover some flaw on which to 
     
     recommend an acquittal to the jury, with a view 
     
     of providing against the possibility of error and 
     
     mistake. Being. then, not less anxious for the 
     
     prevention of crime than for the- protection of 
     
     innocence, he begged to move as an amendment 
     
     to Mr. Ewart's motion " for leave to bring in a 
     
     bill for the abolition of capital punishments.” 
     
     Mr. Ewnn'r’s resolution was by leave with- 
     
     drawn, and Dr. Lushington’s motion read from 
     
     the chair. 
     
     Mr. GOULBURN noticed an inconsistency in 
     
     Dr. Lushington’s argument. He had told the 
     
     House that in proportion to the atrocity of the 
     
     offence was the readines to convict, yet be main- 
     
     tained that juries Were unwilling to convict 
     
     murderers. Mr. Goulburn thought Lord John 
     
     nuns.” tool: the eight view of the subjoef_ and 
     
     the public opinion was not adverse to punishing 
     
     murder with death. By equalizing the penalty 
     
     for housebreaking and for murder, you hold out 
     
     a strong temptation to add the crime of murder 
     
     'to housebreaking, by which the. only witness 
     
     might be removed. 
     
     Mr. Hobhouse, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Brotherton, 
     
     and Mr. O’Connell argued against the punish- 
     
     ment of death under any circumstances. Mr. 
     
     Plumptre, Mr. Fitzroy, and Sir Robert Ingles 
     
     took the other side. 
     
     The House, on a division, refused leave to. 
     
     bring in a bill, by a majority of 161 to 90, 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     EXTRACTS FROM ENGLISH PAPERS. 
     
     Desertian of Soldiers from the Army in 
     
     Cannrla.——We have, of late, noticed in the 
     
     Canada papers several instances of the desertion 
     
     of soldiers from our Provinces into the United 
     
     States. The subject was alluded to in the House 
     
     of Commons, in the Committee ofSupply on the 
     
     Army Estimates. On that occasion, Mr. Mac- 
     
     aulay, Secretary at War, spoke as follows :— 
     
     The next vote to which he had to call the at- 
     
     tention of the‘Committee, was £10,000 for the 
     
     formation of a veteran battalion in Canada, 
     
     where desertions had occurred to an extent un- 
     
     known elsewhere. About six years ago, an in- 
     
     quiry had been made, and it was found—there 
     
     being there at that time, 2500 rank and file— 
     
     that desertions had taken place to the number of 
     
     663, while, during the same period, the deser- 
     
     tions from the whole British army had been only 
     
     3240. 
     
    

    
     Those desertions in Canada had not been con- 
     
     fined to bad and disreputable characters: non- 
     
     commissioned officers and men of respectability 
     
     and good conduct had deserted. Nor was this 
     
     system of desertion to be ascribed to distress— 
     
     for_many had gone away, leaving behind them 
     
     their necessaries and arrears of pay. Why deser- 
     
     tion should take place more frequently in North 
     
     America than in any other part of the empire, it 
     
     was not difficult to explain. . 
     
    

    
     In Britain, the situation of the soldier was 
     
     as comfortable, he might say (more so, than that 
     
     ofthe labourers—to which class, generally, the 
     
     soldier belonged. In many of the Colonies, phy- 
     
     sical difficulties opposed themselves to flight. 
     
     When in Malta, the soldiers were surrounded by 
     
     sea; when at the Cape, .they could only escape 
     
     from their quarters to fly to the haunts of sava- 
     
     ges; and as to India, he could imagine no situa- 
     
     tion more miserable than that of adeserter in that 
     
     country—wandering amidst its vast regions, 
     
     amongst a people of a strange race and colour, 
     
    
   
   
    
     and his footsteps pursued by the power of the 
     
    

    
     British law. - ‘ 
     
     But, with respect to the American Colonies, 
     
    

    
     the case was widely different. There the faci- 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     . lities of escape tothe United States were many, 
     
     and_the temptations strong. ‘ The soil wu'flour-

     our soldiers from Canada. I I 
     
     Several plans had been proposed fix . 
     
     this evil. It had been proposed, and but - , 4 
     
     wisely, that Canada should bctbc last i -  
     
     rotation to which the troops on Coloni. 
     
     should besent. There would that b. . " 
     
     number of men with additional and good 
     
     duct pay, and those higher adyuncos I l. 
     
     to keep the men faithful to their colours, , 
     
     It had also been thought, that adv 
     
     would arise, and the temptations to whi‘c‘fi I 
     
     adverted be counteracted, if the Co. 
     
     were to hold out, to the troops in Can-dc, ' g 
     
     of military retirement, which shouldn’t. “,

     Such had been the opinion of hill...» ,. 
     
     friend the late Secretary at War, luff; 
     
     Seaton ; and he (Mr.'Macnulay)‘ had ’r‘y '  
     
     believe that opinion was generally only" I. 
     
     amongst those who passessed their“! in I i ‘ 
     
     tion on the subject. ‘ ' g -  y 
     
     The precise details of the plan had noton . .‘ ’ 
     
     made out, and much correspondence must to ‘ 
     
     place before it could be produced ; but as its,“ 
     
     not improbable, that, before the House again 
     
     sembled, some Regiments would be rcmovgd 
     
     from Canada, it would be desirable that -..v ‘ 
     
     men of good character should be induced  
     
     main there. On these grounds, he was-indncodv-v ', 
     
     to ask the House for the additional grant of £10,~ ,
