We would invite the attention of our farming readers to the communication in this paper on the subject of Lime. The article is from one of the best farmers in the county. Mr. Dimock; As there is much enqui ry as to the best mode of applying lime upon lands, allow me to give my experi ence to your farming readers.

If much vegeta- ii , . .r We matter be present, I use the latter, it , . , 1 . mi I . not, the former quantity. The best way to apply it, is to turn it under with green r 1 crops or in compost with mud. 'itli mtlfl Tj illustrate the action of lime on land, I will state a case of which I have some practical knowledge. Some thirty years 317ft T Ii-oaa rvi a rnoaoccnl rtf a form o cmnll r , , . i rp, part of which was worn out ridge.

As 'twas too far from my stables to manure from that source, I finally turned it out as Worthless, with the consolation that if I obtained but little, I had expended but kittle labor upon it; for it was too poor to grow grass and generally loo soft or too hard to plough. Several years after urds I enclosed it again, and derived a fctriall increase of crop the first two or three years; but it soon went down to its frmer state of sterlily. I then applied ne or two cords of mud, in its natural &la,e, per acre, which,owing to its sour ':ndition, gave' no increase of the succeed ,ngcrop. The next year, however, the produced a good crop of grass and eecls, which I turned under in a green sle,with 25 bushels of Time per acre, anl obtained the following year between fee and four barrels of corn, an in C:seof 100 per cent. I found, more- ' I over, that the lime had acted on the sub soil, rendering it less tenacious and less difficult to disintegrate; and it doubtless changed the chemical properties of the iron This was two years ago. The last year I allowed another crop of grass and weeds to grow upon it, which 1 turned under while green, and the past spring I broke it with surface and subsoil ploughs to the depth of. twelve inches, adding a compost of salt, lime and mud intermixed With one tenth its bulk of stable manure, at the rate of two cords per acre. The present crop is . most satisfactory on those parts where there is some soil eight barrels, and on clay hills, of which it is in part composed, from fourto five barrels of corn per acre will probably be obtain ed. And the land is in good heart, light and pulverent, and can be ploughed with facility in dry or wet weather. I treated a few acres of the same kind similarly last year with the same results. i Lime and manure should never be ap plied at the same time, or there will be a great loss of ammonia.

Spirit of Turpentine a Cure for Poison. If any person should be stung by a bee or other insect, rub some spirits of turpentine on the place, and the pain will nearly cease in one minute. It is said the pain arising from the bite of a copper head snakemay be arrested in a few minutesfby the continued application of this article, and from my own knowl edge of its effects in other cases, I Jiavn't the least doubt of it. The effect of pois ons is to contract the blood vessels and prevent a free circulation; the natural consequence is pain and inflamation im- mediately. Spirits of turpentine, by their Bishops of the British Church cause them penetrating and expanding qualities, soon selves to be fatly paid is now going on in overcome the difficulty.

Mr. and Mrs. Estlin, of Bris tol, and a lady friend, Mr. and Mrs. Hich ard Webb, of Dublin, and a son and daughter, Mr. McDonnell, (a most influ ential member of the Executive Commit tee of the National Reform Association) these ladies and gentlemen, together with myself, met at Mr. Thompson's house, and in company with Mrs. Thompson, M iss Thompson, and M iss A melia Thomp son, thc Crafts and Brown proceeded thence to the Exhibition. J He says the Queen and Prince Albert and a large concourseof aristocracy were present, and no doubt greatly delighted with the show of the amalgamation par ty, which made its grand entree in the following streak of white and streak of black order: Mr. McDonnell escorted Miss Crafi and Mrs. Thompson;. Miss Thompson at her own request, took the arm of Wm. Wells Brown, whose companion she se lected to be for the day; Wm: Craft Walk ed with Miss Amelia Thompson and my self." Thus happily and beautifully paired oflT, IwctMi six and seven hours. I he Misses Thompson and Mr. McDonnell are bless ed with strong olfactories, and no mistake. Just think of it!

No j sooner had our goods landed, than the j British press commenced running them I down, with no justifiable grounds what-rjn ever for so doing; and to cap tne climax, a miserable attempt is made to insult, mock and deride the Americans who are there as their invited guests! Such con-; duct is infamous, and fixes a stain upon the English people, which they will not easily wipe off. From the Fayetteville Carolinian: British Bishops. Corruption in the Church. An overhauling of the way the j ' ' ' ..V i England. It began in tlie House of Com mons, on a motion of Lord Blandford to I provide for the spiritual destitution of thc people by founding new bishoprics and the average income of the 5,230 curates employed in the kingdom was $395 each, the bishops had from $30,000 to $95,000. In order in some measure to remedy this, a law Ind been passed limiting the lowest bishop's revenue to $22,500 and the highest, that of the Archbishop of Can terbury to S5,000. But this law had been grossly evaded, and the funds which ought to have gone to the minor clergy had been taken from them. The facts ought to he exactly ascertained. Hereupon Sir B: Hall made a speech in which he handled the reverend prelates without reserve. They had all got a great dral more money than the law al lowed them. The Bishop of St. David's was to have 22.500 a year; but in seven ears he had pocketed $6,325 more than the sum. The Bishop of Norwitch was to have the same, but in seven years he had got $-35,355 too much. The three Bishops of Oxford, Rochester and Salis bury had cribbed $140,000 more than their proper revenues. The Bishop of London, in 14 years, had taken $3SG,205 io which he had no good right; and in thc same time the Bishop of Winchester had outrun his just income $225,S50, and the Bishop of Durham $39S,290 If oth er people were to do such things it would be called robbery. , So too in some minor offices of the church. In the dio- cess of Ely there were five clergymen, gauU an(, baUerv wiln iatent tQ km and whom he named, receiving together $55 the rest for ordinary assault and batteries,' 715 a year, who did no duty at all, and inciting To riot breaches of the peace, in one more receiving 516,950. who did du toxication, &C tv only as it suited his convenience. - In this way Sir B.

Row dyism is increasing-? all over the city, ;.ook at the numerous gambling houses, brothels, grogshops, and other hot beds of vice. What is to be done? What can be done?

Journal rf Commerce, Correspondence oj the Baltimore Pa triot. Philadelphia Monday, P. M. A Western drover a heavy operator in cattle--was arrested on Friday last for passing a counterfeit $10 note of the State Bank of Ohio, upon the keeper of a stand, in payment of a watch. Four other notes of the same character, on different branches of the State Bank, were found in his possession, with about $90 in good money, on various banks in the West. Another counterfeit note of the same kind was recovered, which he had passed on a tailor in Market street. The accused has heretofore sustained an unblemished rep utation. Our city is flooded with these and other counterfeits. To show that our police do not enjoy much relaxation even during the hot weather, I will mention that in the last 48 hours no less than 113 arrests have been made; one of which was for stabbing; one for bigamy, one for attempted rape, two for passing counterfeit money, one for suspected infanticide, one for vending lottery policies, four for riot, three for fel- , onies. two for misdemeanors, one for as- They were near neighbors, and a feud ha(, existed belween their for . $on)e time. 0 the day of the fala, occur,- rence their wives met and were inter changing abusive words, when McObllum happening to come up, made a violent as- ,earned (ie ,icu,arS) he armed himsef wUh a anJ for . sault on tne wile ot uewin As soon as of .
