A fine vein of iron-stone has recently 
been discovered in the Beam Woods adjoin- 
ing the city of Canterbury—some of it is 
beautifully impregnated with quartzerystals. 
In the opinion of practical men, it might 
be smelted with advantage.

SUSSEX, 
An interesting experiment is making at 
Linfield, respecting the instruction of the 
poor. Some benevolent individuals, con- 
ceiving that the labour of children might be 
made to pay for their education, have united, 
and built school-rooms at the above-named 
place, of sufficient capacity for 200 boys and 
200 girls. During’ one part of the day 
(from 9 to 12) the children are to be taught 
reading, writing, and arithmetic. In the 
other part ( from 2 to 5) the boys will be in- 
structed (in classes) in agricultural labour, 
when the weather permits, and in some of 
the most useful mechanical arts; while the 
irls will be employed in* needle-work, the 
duties of the household and dairy, making 
butter, netting, straw-platting, and every 
species of domestic industry that will con- 
tribute to make them valuable servants. _ 
The bones and-teeth of a gigantic species 
. of crocodile, together with bones of various 
species of animals of the order of Sauriens, 
or lizards, have recently been discovered at 
‘Cuckfield, in the stratum called green sand, 
which lies under the chalk in that county. 
One of these animals appears, fromits bones, 
to have been of a most enormous size; not 
less than sixty feet in length ; its-bulk and 
height were equal to those of the elephant. 
It belongs to a species hitherto undescribed. 
The form of the teeth indicate that it liyed 
upon vegetables ; the celebrated anatomist 
Baron Cuvier, who has seen specimens of 
these teeth, is decidedly of this opinion.

The collection of the grass of the crested 
dog’s-tail kind for making bonnets (says a 
late Bath chronicle) affords employment to a 
great number of children in the parish of

which is manufactured in this city, is equal 
in colour and durability, and much superior 
in texture, to the finest Leghorn.
