strongest and best salt, finely powdered, to each 

 pound, and so thoroughly mi.xed that every part 

 may be equally salt ; made into rolls, and then put 

 into a cask of pure strong brine, and for keeping 

 the rolls completely immersed in this liquid, there 

 should be a cover, suitable to the dimension of the 

 inside of the cask to be laid on the rolls, and sunk 

 beneath tlie surface of the brine by a weight, 

 which may be a block of wood, fastened to the 

 cover, that will sink only to a given depth. The 

 trine does not penetrate the butter so as to give 

 out any additional saltness. For clarifying the 

 brine it should occasionally be scalded, the scum 

 taken off, and more salt added if necessary. But- 

 ter made in May is observed to be best for keep- 

 ing. 



" If any ill flavour is apprehended from the cows 

 having eaten turnips, &c. the addition of an eighth 

 part of boiling water to the milk before it is pour- 

 ed into the dishes will effectually remove it. Or 

 a small bit of salt pctre, powdered and put into the 

 rnilk pan with the new milk, prevents the cream 

 and butter from being tainted, although the cows 

 be fed on the refuse leaves of cabbages and tur- 

 cips. 



" If new milk be kept as warm as it comes from 

 the' cow, no cream will rise on it ; but, when suf- 

 ficiently cooled, it separates from the rest and rises 

 to the top. In order to effect tliis to the best ad- 

 vantage, the new milk should be made as cool as 

 possible, and the cooler it is made, the more sud- 

 denly and effectually the cream will rise. The 

 cooler the cellars, therefore, in which milk is kept 

 the better. To set milk pans, made of tin, in beds 

 of salt, would, no doubt, lie useful when the cellar 

 is too warm ; and to set all milk vessels on a floor 

 which is constantly covered with cold spring water 

 is also an e.xcellent plan ; and when it can be done 

 ouglit never to be omitted. Wetting the floor will 

 answer." 



ders of society. Already several productions of 

 high promise are announced, and tlie first volume, 

 comprising Capt. Hall's interesting Voyage to 

 the Eastern Seas, is published. It is printed with 

 a neat' type, on excellent paper, consisting of up- 

 wards of 300 pages, and sold at three shillings, 

 about one fourteenth tlio original price of the work. 



Fait of Missotun^hi. — Accounts have been re- 

 ceived from Europe of the capture of Missolonghi 

 by the Turks, and the massacre of its garrison, 

 and population. A Paris article of April I'Jth 

 «tates in substance that the defenders of that im- 

 portant fortress, being reduced to 1400 men, and 

 allowed only 4 oz. of biscuit per day, saw on the 

 17th of February tlie storm gathering' wiiieh was to 

 swallow them up. From the l!.!th to the 21st of 

 the same month all the Christians celebrated their 

 obsequies. Tlie Bishop Joseph administered the 

 sacrament to them ; and the service for the dead 

 having been read, every one repaired to his post. 

 After the Turks had several times been beaten off, 

 on the 2d of March, in a third attack the barbari- 

 ans made themselves masters of the avenues lead- 

 ing to the fortress, and the destruction of the 

 Christians, who had only 4"27 able to fight, was 

 considered as inevitable. Yet no thought of sur- 

 render entered any body's mind, and no mouth pro- 

 nounced the word capitulation. On the Sth day of 

 March (20 of March, new style) the last hour of 

 the Christians sounded. At ten o'clock the Turks 

 had taken Missolonghi by storm. The Bisliop Jo- 

 seph had been burnt by a slow fire ; all the men 

 had been put to the sword ; and the number of 

 corpses of drowned women and children choked 

 up the Lagoons.

 the distinguisliing properties of the Canada-Horse ;

 of Literature, Science, and tlie Arts among those 

 classes that have hitherto been least instructed. —

 has undertaken to print in an economical form, so 

 as to be within the reach of the very poorest read- 

 ing classes, a series of works of merit, old as 

 well as original, and of such standard excellence 

 as to commaud the attention of tlie superior or-
