Rot in S/zeep.-—Tlierot in sheep has been
cured by equal quantities of carbonate of
iron and common salt, well mixed. A dose
of from two to four drachins of the mixture
to be given in gruel, for three or four inorn-
ings in succession. It will bring the lloakes
away in great numbers. Mr Jones, chem-
ist, Elden-row, Dolgelly, has seen sheep
slaughtered, shortly after having taken the
above medicine, uliieh were nearly cured.
Purple or black spots in the skin mark the
rot; and when sheep he like a bare, on
their belly, it is a symtom of their being in-
fected with that disease.
That voracious reptile, the canke ' wrm,o
has proved very destrtietive to many orch-
ards the last summer, notwithstaiiding the
free application oftar. 1‘-lajor S. Ifrazier,
a skillful agriculturist of Duxhury, liiis in-
ventczl a compositioii which proves a more
effectual remedy against the canker worm
than anyotlier which has been before known.
It consists of soft soap, whale oil, and coin-
mori liquid varnish, in equal parts. This is
easily applied with a brush, and when repea-
ted occasionally as it becomes dr ', proves
very eli'eetual,anil is not like tar injurious to
trees. The same composition would proli-
ably serve as a protection against the ap-
ple-trce-borer, if supplied at tlte proper sea-

from the attack of the fly that deposits her
eggs in the bark near the root, froin which

Fatlcning Cattlr.-.—As many farmers de-
pend on the sale of fat cattle for the success-
ful prosecution of their business, it becomes
an iinportaut ‘question with them how the
greatest amount offat may be put upon an
animal at the least expense. Tliat many
erroneous opinions prevail upon the subject
is evideiit-from the fact, that while many
farmers raise and sell beef cattle, some to
afford it handsome profit, others ai'e obliged
to give it up as a bad business. It is gen-
erally admitted that nothing can he made by
fattening cattle on Indian corn; but the
market price does not compare with the ex-
pense of ‘feeding. There is no doubt that
pumpkins may be p:'ofi:able for fatieiiing—
.but more profitable to milch cows. Potatoes,
turnips, ruta baga, and niangel wurt'/.el, are
the roots on which the farmer should chiefly
depend for fattening beef, in order to render
the business at all profitable, and we believe
with a proper use of these, it may be made
the best part ofthe farmer’s business. Ruta
baga is, in our opinion, a more profitable
crop than either of the above mentioned;
yet we don':.twlietliei' a given quantity will go
as far in fattening beefas the same quantity
of potatoes. An animal put into the stall
and fed on potatoes, with hay and a little
salt, without any water, will perhaps fatten
as well as in any other way. They should
we are confident, have no water when fed on
potatoes, when confined to the stall or yard.
Vlfe put up a cow the 15th of November,
which had been milked until the 1st of Oc-
tober, and was in no more than common
store order. She was fed from three peeks
to a bushel a clay, kept clean and rubbed
often with a card. She was kept until she
had consumed thirty l)tlSl'lClS: of potatoes,
and did not leave the stall until led out by
the butcher. She was lightly tallowed, but
the beefwas ofthe first quality. \Vhen put
up she would not sell for $16, and when
killed was worth to the consumer :1-‘ill. ‘We
think the Long Joluz potatoes may be raised
in common seasons at an expense to the
fariner of not more than six cents per l.iush-
el—coiiseqiieiitly those fed to the above cow
did not cost the grower over $1 80; which
with hay and salt inight bring the cost of
feeding, aside from labor, to 3 orzil dollars.

It was resolved that measures
should be taken to convey this gratityiiig intelli-
oftlie tides and currents, the stubborn qual-
ity oftlie ice, and the rocky cliaracter of the
coast, the voyage was extremely perilous.—
Having experienced some almost miracu-
lous escapes from ship wreck, they ultimate-
ly succeeded in reaching the 70 deg. of lat.
in adirection nearly due south of FuryPoint,
where their course was arrested by an im-
penetrable barrier of ponderous ice. Ina
harbor which they found at this extreme
point they wintcred.
In January, 1830,they opened a commu-
nication with a tribe of natives,who had
nev r before held iiitercoi.irse with strangers.
Friendship was soon formed between them
and the tars, and the first winter, which was
not very severe, was spent very pleasantly.
Ilaviiig learned from the natives, that the
east sea was divided from the west by a
neck oflarid, the point was examined, and
all linpenf (feet-i<7i_g apassage in that direc-
tion cun:p/etcl_i/ cxtingilislicd. Commander
Ross (nchpew of Capt. Ross) who was sent
to survey the coast ofthe west sea, leading
to Cape Turnagain, succeeded in getting
within 150 miles of it, and left off with-
in a short distance of where Capt. Back ex-
pected Fish River to join the sca.—They
also determined that the land was conti-
guous to that which forms Repulse Bay.
During the autumn of 1S30,thc voyagers
waited in vain for the ice to desolvc, as it
had done the preceding year. They had
not, with great exertion, proceeded more
tlian four miles (retracing their course),
.when they were arrested, in a very dreiiry
position, by the approach of a winter uri-
paralleled in severity——the lowest temp:u'a-
ture being 92 degrees below the freezing
point. The summer proving no less rig-
orous for the season, little hope was enter-
tained ofa release, and a further progress
of fourteen milcs was all they could accom-
plish.
In October, IE‘-3!, the ship was laid up
in the harbour in which she at present lies
moored, and where the party endured the
rigors of another winter, not less severe
than thatofthe preceding year. Theii pro-
visions being consumed, they had now no
alternative but to abandon the vessel, and
proceed to the spot where the Fury’s pro-
visions still reiriaiu—a direct distance off200
miles, which was increased by one-half, in
consequence of the circuitous rout which
the ice obliged them to take. Tliev accor-
dingly left the Victory in May, 1832, and,
after a journey of uncommon labour and
hardship, reached Fury Beach in the month
ofJuly. During this journey, they had not
only to carry their provisions and sick, but
also, a supply of fuel ; for without melting
snow they could not procure even a drink of
water.
They repaired the Fury’s boats, and at-
tempted to escape; but it was September
before they reached Leopold’s Island,which
they have fully established to be the N. E.
point of America. Here they vainly waited

“Religion and the monarcliical form of
Government—thc first elements ofexislence
for Spain——sliall be respected, ‘protected and
maintained by ine,in all their force and puri-
ty. The Spanisli people have, in their in-
nate zeal for the faith and worship of their
forcfatliers, the most complete guarantee,
that no one can rule them without respect-
ing the most holy objects of their belief and
adoration. My heart delights in presiding
over a nation eminently catholic, in assu-
ring her, that the immaculate religion which
we profess, its tenents, temples and minis-
ters, shall be the first and most grateful care
of my government.
I will religiously inaiiitaiii the form and
fuiiclamentiil law of the tnoiiarcliy, without
admitting innovations which though flatter-
ing at first, are dangerous, and have been
but too intich tried for our misfortune. The
best form of government for a country is that
to wliicli it has been used.
Administrative refornis,tlie only ones that
immediately produce prospe 'ity and happi-
ness, and by \vliicli alone a nation is really
benefittcd, shall be the constant object of my
solicitude. I will make it my principal stu-
dy to lighten the public burdens, as far as
consistent with the security of the state ard
ilie wants of the service, to enforce the up-
right and speedy administration of justice;
to watch over the security of persons and
property and to promote all that tends to iii-
crease the public wealth.
For this great undertnking—t'ne accom-
plislimcut of the happiness ofSpaiu—l hope
for the utianiinous co-operation, the united
wills and efi'or:‘s, of the Spaniards. Tlicy
all are the sons of the country, equally in
tcrcsted in her welfare. I will not know of
past opinions; nor will I listen to present
slander or whispers. I do not admit as ser-
vices or merit, dark influence or manazuvres
or interested vaunts of fidelity or adherence.
Neitlier the name of the Queen nor mine
is the motto of partiality, but the tutelar ban-
ner of the nation; all my love, protection
and cares, belong to all the Spaiiiai'ds.”

coliiins which attacked the enemy in flank,
drove them from all their positioils. The
firing continued until night. The rebels
liaving retired to the position of Arieiro,
where all their artillery had been collected,
slieltercd themselves there, and the two ar-
mics bivoaacked in presence.
In one hour after, the rebels commenced
their retreat: and at day break, when we

On the morning ofthe lltli, the columns
of the enemy were found posted en masse
on the licights of Loures, supported by ar-
tillery. But no sooner had our forces pre-
scnted themselves in the attitutlc of attack,
than the enemy disappeared, and proceeded
to take a position on the road of Santo
Antonio dc Tojal.
At3 o’clock, P. M. the rebels, with three
squadrons of cavalry, attempted to attack
our right, but on approacliing our artillery
and cavalry, they desisterl from the attempt.
They then attempted to attack our left, but
were completely repulsed.
In these two days the enemy had more
than 1,000 men put liors du combat. Our
loss did not exceed 400 men, including a
few oflicers. '
On the 12th, the rebt-l:.=, who liiid retired
