VARIETIES, LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS ; 
Including Notices of Works in hand, Domestic and Foreign. 
R R. Salisbury has discovered that the 
I ‘# Phormium Tenax, or New Zealand 
Flax, grows in Ireland in the fullest luxuri- 
ance. It has been cultivated as an ornamental 
plant in the open ground, in the counties 
of Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Louth, Dub- 
lin, and Wicklow: it is perfectly hardy, 
having grown on one estate for thirty years 
successively, without being affected by frost, 
except once or twice triflingly on the tops 
of the leaves; and it is capable of being 
propagated by offsets from the roots, in a 
ratio sufficient to prove that it may be 
brought into cultivation on a large scale. 
A favourite pastime of the Negro Arabs 
in Nubia, and which is also known among 
the Arabs in Upper Egypt, is the Syredge, 
akind of draughts. It is played upon sandy 
ground, on which they trace with the fingers 
chequers of forty-nine squares. It is an in- 
tricate game, and requires great attention: 
the object is, to take all the antagonist’s 
pieces ; but the rules are very different from 
those of the Polish draught. The people 
are uneommonly fond of this game; two 
persons seldom sitting down together with- 
out immediately beginning to draw squares 
on the,sand. 
Monwment to Major Cartwright. —A meet- 
ing of the Committee for arranging the 
subscriptions for the erection of a public 
‘testimonial to the memory of the late 
Major Cartwright, was held at the house 
of P. Moore, Esq., M.P., on the 12th of 
March. It: appeared that- between £400 
and £500 might then be considered.as sub- 
scribed; from comparatively private sources ; 
and, when the contributions resulting from 
a public appeal shall have been added, the 
monint will be considerably increased. 
Another Mechanic’s Institution was open- 
ed on the 10th of March, for the convenience 
of the inhabitants of Spitalfields, Bethnal- 
Green, &e. The meeting was held in 
Gibraltar Chapel, Bethnal-Green Road, 
and was attended by about 700 mechanics. 
It would have been much more numerous 
had not the size of the building rendered it 
necessary to limit the issue of tickets. The 
business was opened by the Chairman, Mr. 
Gibson, and explained in a yery appropriate 
speech by Dr. Birkbeck, who we under- 
stand had been particularly requested to 
attend. Mr. Partington, of the London 
Institution, then delivered a lecture on the 
Mechanical Powers. A very handsome 
subscription has been made, principally 
among the silk-trade, in furtherance of the 
object of the Institution, and there seems 
every prospect of success. 
Mr. Fenner, Surgeon, of Aylesbury, hay- 
ing long experienced in his practice, as 
well as in his family, the deleterious effects 
of Bakers’ bread, has been, induced to 
adopt the habit of baking at home; he ob- 
serves that in cases of indigestion, although 
a very desirable object, it is*by no means 
easy to excite the regular peristaltic action- 
of the bowels by diet ; it is common in such 
cases to resort to purgatives; but their con- 
tinued use is highly objectionable; and this 
inconvenience, he asserts, may be obviated 
by the use of home-baked bread. Let the 
best and cleanest wheat be ground by an 
honest miller without being dressed at all 
(no bran is to be taken from it), made into 
bread and well baked; the first week any 
one tries this, who has been requiring me- 
dicine daily, he will find such benefit, that 
he
