SSStrv are I species of coward^ in reference to 



SSion can, we think, very easily be proved ; for if 



J^Sposayour colonies, by any supernatural agency, 



to biLccd as near the English coast as the Isleot 



Wi"ht\ Ireland, op. the continent of Europe, then the 



tide° of emigration would be very different 



Sat it is at present. Were such a change to take 



place during night, so that at sunrise our 



and fertile fields, with our inviting rivers, should mako 



their appearance from your shores, then how merrily 



would the tidings spread over your enraptured provinces, 



banishinir with departing night all the bugbears of a 



yird, 



We ve had one of the tme-i sea o is for hay-maklog

that bus been for many years, and hardly any bad hay has 

 be^n made, and the crop in general was good; From the time 

 that we began to carry, we never had a shower to stop us, in. 

 clearing off 150 acres ; but then the weather that was so very 

 fine for hay was against the Turnip crop; but tbey are in 

 appearance much better than usual, although at present the 

 is scarcely anv prospect of their feeing an average crop. Many of 

 to* first sowings were eaten by the fly ; and some of them, after 

 they hal on the rough leaf (a period when we thin* them aafe\ 

 were destroyed, or, at least, very much damaged, by slags. ; but 

 the i- tins seem to have given them n stimulus that has put a 

 op to any further attack ; and although they all look late, 



they are n / growing O. S.

banishing with departing mglit all the bugbears of a 

 colony Going put would then become fashionable m 

 everv sphere of life, even among old folks themselves, 

 to the annoyance of those of their children left behind. 

 Indeed a colonial estate would be in everybody's mouth, 

 silencing all complaints, so that the angry blast of j pro- 

 tection would then cease to blow, while rents would fall 

 to the tenant's liking. In short, the wind which 

 should blow your 3,000,000,000 of colonial acres so near 

 you would at the same time blow all the bad times from 

 vour doors for many a day to come. Now, what is the 

 difference between your colonies situated where they 

 are, and where we supposed them ! Obviously only a few 

 days' sailing, for which there is a superior climate, soil, 

 and everything else. Such, therefore, being the facts 

 of the case, the question resolves itself into this — that 

 if old maids and bachelors could jump from shore to 

 shore, as sheep do the ditch which intersects their walk, 

 then parties in early life would pair like the happy birds 

 in spring, and soon find their way into a colony to enjoy 

 the manifold blessings of overflowing plenty ; but other- 

 wise, if they are called upon to lose sight of terra fir ma, 

 then farewell to such a tide of prosperity, and welcome 

 all the embarrassments of which you are at present so 

 loudly complaining. Now, if this is not cowardice, it 

 is certainly something not less ignoble." 



After disposing of several objections to leaving a good 

 land, to enjoy a better, he thus divides his subject : 



* Consequently the grand question at issue resolves 

 itself Into the following four problems. 



• ; 1. To effect the emigration of the surplus popu- 

 lation of the two communities, into which you are 



divided. 



" 2. To settle the rural party, or to establish colonial 



agriculture and the other parent branches of industry. 



u 3. To settle the urban party, or to invest capital in 

 town lands, roads, railways, &c, in the most profitable 

 manner. 



" 4. To find capital to accomplish this great work, 

 or to effect the emigration and settlement of the surplus 

 labour and capital of your money branch of industry in 

 a colony." 



He first proceeds to * organise" what he terms " the 

 different members of a working system," commencing 

 with the investment of capital in colonial agriculture. 

 The article is not concluded, but is proposed " to be 

 continued"— indeed the writer has no more than intro- 

 duced his subject. 



There are eight other articles in the magazine all less 

 or more interesting to farmers. Indeed, to British 

 agriculturists the " Colonial Magazine " is more interest- 

 ing than to any other class, and therefore we will- 

 ingly recommend it to the attention of the readers 

 of the Agricultural Gazette.

Bread : Anon. The bitter flavour which is too apt to prey all in 



bread made from home-brewed ale, or lad ed from purchased 



table-beer, yeast, can be effectually obviated by washing the 

 ferment repeatedly with pure, very cold, water, sulT-nn< th 

 yeast to subside, and '.hen pouring off th- water atter every 

 subsidence till the washings cease to brin- away the bitter 

 flavour, After which the yeast is to be strained through a 

 quantity of good Wheat bran, such as a farmer obtains when I 

 he sends his own grist to the mill. This medium does not 

 only correct the alkaloid bitter of the ferment, but adds 

 fresh fermentive principle to it. Bu' a better mode of 

 working bread ia to use the genuine Grman yeast.. This 

 substance confers no bitterness, and the required proportion 

 for any batch of Hour is estimated at I avoirdupois ounce to 

 every piut and half of water, winch will ba used in making 

 up a dough of sufficient substanoe to admit of thorough 



kneading.

COVENT GARDEN Aug. 16. 



Peaches and Nectarines are *<till only sparingly supplied, 

 but Pines and Grapes are abundant, and the trade for the 

 latter two kinds of fruit is somewhat heavy. Cherries from walls 

 are exceedingly good. Ripe Apricots and Greengage Plums 

 are imported from the Continent in coniiderabli ;iantities. 

 West Indian Pines fetch from 2s. to 5s. each. Oranges and 

 Lemons are scarce. Nuts remain nearly the same as qu«>t. d 

 last week. Carrots, French Beans, and Peas are reoeived in 

 quantity. Potatoes are good in quality, and, a* yet, free 

 from disease. Lettuces and other aalading are tumcient 

 for the demand. Mushrooms are a trifle cheaper. Cut flowers 

 consist of Heaths, Pelargoniums, Mignouette, Heliotropes, 



cephanotis floribunda, Carnations, Pinks, Moss and Provins
