And the bosom wildly heaved,

And thine eye grew dim and sad,

On the same liench with Sir Robert Peel is
(tit old peiitletnnn, whoso extreme elrvlinrea in
ilrcrs n fTiirtld a striking contrast to the personal
nppcr) ranee of the prim Premier. The individ
al referred to is over Ci yearsofnge. His face
is wrinkled, and of the color of the parchment
over which he lias pored for vo many years.
His eyes are lip-lit, and Inrrre, unci are deeply
set beneath a pair of light carved eyebrows.
Ilia nose is somewhat beak-like, and the month
stern, and obstinrtte in expression. But the
dress of the mail is more remarkable than the
weircr. An old rusty black cot envelopes his
chest, which in deep ind broad. Round his
neck is dinoy white neck-clnth. . His wnint
coat is shabby and bt-tween it and hia netlicr

which his shit! tumjtlrs nut; for he is susprn

now Recorder ol Bristol. A singular personoj.'e

learned in Ins profession. His absence of mind

lady much younger than himself. After the
ceremony had been concluded, he proceeded lo
his rhambr rs, in the Temple, and there an in
tricate cause so absorbed hi attention that he
flirirnt all about his bride and, according to his
old custom, went to bed in his bachelor apart
ments, as tiHinl. In the interim rrreat anxiety
was caused in the wedrlinfj circle, respertioi;
Sir Charles' whereabouts. Evening came, hut
no bridegroom, and il wns not until Intc in the
1 wninjj that some one, acquainted with his ee
centric habits, suprrested Unit he might be at his
chambers. Thither messengers were sent, who
knocked tip Sir Charles, who had actually hr
gotten that a bride awaited him at home. This
story litis been told, I believe, of some others;
but Sir Charles Wcthcroll was the mil Sininu
Pure. The part which this gentleman tiKik iu
the debates on Catholic Emancipation, will not
soon be forgotten. Nor will the great riots in
Rristol a few years since, be iinromc mbered by
those who w tnessed or heard nflhent, and with
which Sir Charles Wotherell was so intimately
connected.

would bo a Work of great difficulty to report
Shiel for his sentences are so involved, and
they are u'.tered with such amazing volubility,

j Some few years since, a ludicrous mistake oc-
curred, with respect to a report or one of Im
speeches, which greatly mortified Shiel, and 1
much amused the public, who were, by tho uc
cident, let into tho secret ef Shiel's furnichiii

prepared one uf hi most brilliant speeches for

delivery, and, having carefully committed it to
memory' he forwarded the manuscript to the
efTice of the Morning , for publication iu
the next day' journal, with the other speeches
of the expected debate. Contrary to all expec
tation, that particular part of the subject to be
di-cusfli.il which Mr. Shijl's speech boro refer
ence to, was not mooted, and consequently it
was not delivered. Owing to some mismanage
ment, notice was not taken of the omission at
the office of the journal, no reporter from which
allended, and the next morning the Morning
- had four mortal columns of a speech
printed, but which find never been delivered.
There were interpolated with il. ''Cheers''
"great cheering, from all parts of the house"
"hear bear's," and "prolonged applause," Sec.
&.C., which had a droll ett'ect enough ; and the
matter was not mended by a long eulogistic
"lender," fiom the Editor, who characterized
Mr. Shicl's speech as oris of the most brilliant
specimens of orti lory which hud ever been deli
vered within tho walls of St. Stephen's. All
lyotulon not only tittered, but burst into one
trrenl and general gufl'aw. Shiel never forgave
the care'fssncss but he ned rot have grieved
so much nlmut the exposure, for he is not tho on
ly one who reports his own speeches.
When I. was staying it Sh.mclian'a Hotel,
Watcil'onf, some year since, I had the pleasure
ot spending an evening with Mr. Shiel, who
wns quartering at the same house. His conver
sational powers were great, and bo nave quite a
series of short lively sketches of some nf his Irish
contemporaries. I must confess that, uter hear
ing what he said of O'Conncll, I was somewhat
surprised to read his speech in favor ol theA
Ifitalor, in Dublin, not lone since, bu', perhaps,
it is not so much to bo wondered at, when we
consider that he is a Ilirrister, and consequently
that it is his occasional vocation.

a hedge of limestone, forming a high cliff which
rises almost perpendicular from the river bank
to the height of about loO feet from the water's
edge. This cliff fronts partly on a small stream
named Bill Creek. The top nf the cavern is
about ten feet from the top of the cliff. In a
warm day a dark stream of bees may be con
stantly seen winding out Irom the cavern liko a
long dark wreath of smoke. This stream often
appears one or two feet in diameter near the
cliff' and gradually spreads out like a fan, grow
ing thinner and thinner at a distance from the
cavern, until it dirappears. .The number of bees
in this cavern must be incalculably great pro
bably greater than the number in a thousand or
ten thousand ordinary hives. The oldest set
tlers say that Ihe hivu was there when they firrt
arrived in the country ; and it is quite prubable
that it existed in the. same slate many years
previous to the settlement of the country. The
bees, il is said, never swarmed, and il is not
improbable that the hivo has continued for more
than a century fo increase year after year, in
the same ratio that other swarms increase. The
c&ve appears to extend hack many rods intotha
ledge, and probably has many lateral chambers.
The Bee, doubtless, occupy many of these la
teral chambers, and il is not improbable that
new swarms annually find new chambers to oc
cupy, and thus they are prevented from going
oft to a distance in search of hives. Sonic of
the neighboring settlers have repeatedly, by
blasting the rocks, opened a pasmge into some
of these chambers, and procured, by this means,
many hundred Ihs of honey. litt tho main de
positee are si.'itated too deep in the ledge to be
reached without great difficulty and perhaps
danger. A company was formed at Austria, a
few yonr since, for the purpose of exploring
the robin and removing the honey; but some
outward event prevented the accomplishment
or the undertaking. It was estimated that there
are many tons of bnney and wax in Ibis im
rnensr hive, and if its trf anres could be cr.tract
ed n-aililv, they would doubtless be found for
mom valuable than the contents of any silver
or 11 iW mine, that adventurers have been seek-

whose confidence in the gentleman who had it
printed for circulation, induced him to plant eo
vcral acres in the rame way last season:
To Farmkrs, At the end of August,
I planted in my garden thirty-two grains of
wheat, at six inches distance, an inch and a half
deep; tho seed was of first rate quality. Thin
seed produced this year thirty-two plants, ha
ving from 10 to 'JS stems and ears each; the s
vcroge number of ears wast 10 f ihe average
weight of each plant IJ ounce. An arm pf
land would Contain, at six inches distance, 14,-2-10
plant?, the produce 3 LOW oz., or nearly
19,CI;0 lbs;. 5'23 bttshe!.--, or 10 quarters per s
crc. The expense of dibbing would be moro
than saved by the diminished quantity of scel
required.
I do not mean lo state that such a rcsul t
would obla;n upon a lsrge scale ; but I think it
is worthy of a trial, when we know that the a
verage produce is only quarters per acre,
and lhat it is possible to grow FORTY ; it will
be allowed there is ample scopo for improve
ment. Try a breadth in your fields an inch ami
a half deep ; put one grain, and OA 12 only, in
each hole plant it at six or eight inches dis
tant be sure to plaut good seed get as much
produce as you can, but GO FOil FORTY
QUARTERS PER ACRE.
A Chnrcoal Road,
The process of mn king such a road is descri

cut twenty-four feet long, and piled up length
wise in the centre of the road about five feet
high, being nine fjet wide at the bottom and
two at the top, and then covered with straw and
earth in the manner of coalpits. The carlh re
quired to cover the pile, taken from either sidi
leaves two good-si?.cd ditches, and the timber,
although not split, is easily charred, and when

Cravnfa,
A correspondent of the New Haven Herald
writes thus sensibly nn this interesting theme :
"High, tight white cravats, such as arc worn
by clergymen, are said to have some agency in
producing bronchitis, which i3 ro common tj
gentlemen of that profession. They sweit the
throat, relax the capillaries, weaken the organ
. of speech, so .is to produce a greater wear tc
I those organs when in exercise, lead to fre-
I qucntly taking cold in the parts, and repn.'ss.
the circulation. Black silk cravats, when not
worn tightly, have none of these objection, in
deed the electrical nnd other properties of th"
fabric, or the color, or both, arc found to
greatly beneficial in diseases of the throat. Whv
then, not abandon a fashion which is besidr-s
extremely disfiguring and corpie like 1 True.

I Englishmen can bear such a thing, and tin-
French with their black skins, ami ths Ameri

fools ever to follow suit. Till the invention uf
whalebone and hair biiflners, there were un
reason for wearing cambric, foreilk or any dark
colored material cculd not be starched : ji:t
now there is no excuse for following tho le.vt
ot the English in a fashion in which we can on
