TA4 advantages and disadvant togts of fattening cattU and sheep , at lent to the extent frequently practised at present, are points that have of late attracted much

public attention. But any con trovers? on that subject can only arise irom want 01 proper uis crimination. Fat meat is un questionably more nourishing than lean, though to digest this oily matter, there nre required, on account of its difficult solubility,a good bile, much saliva, and ast'oog stomach; consequently none, excepting those who are in the most vigorous state of health, or who are employed in hard la. bor, can properly digest it. Though fat meat, however, is un fit for general consumption, yet experiments in the art offatening animals, are likely to promote useful discoveries, and though in the course of trying a number of experiments, mors and excesses may be committed, yet on the whole, advantage may be derived from the knowledge thus lo be obtained. As the bone also gains tiut tittle in thefatting animal, and the other offal becomes proportionnbJy less, as I he nnimal be comes more far, the public ha? not stiitnined much loss by mcr fitted nnimals. To kill even hog till they are thoroughly fat, is exceeding bud economy. An ox or cow, though the little flesh it has may be of good quality, yet presents, when lean, little but skin nod bone, nnd if ilaughtered in ihtt state would neither indemnify the owner for the expense of breeding and maintaining it, nor benefit the public. A coarse nnd heavy flcshrd ox, which would require a very long time, and much good food to fatten, wny be slaughtered with most advantages while rather lean. It is not, however, so much the extent of fat, at the want of a sufficient quantity of lean flesh, of which theconsumer complains; for it cannot be doubted, that the lean flesh of a fat animal is auperior in quality, and contains uiurc uuuriiumcm, mna any old er meat. Handling well. The graziers and butchers in various parts of "the kingdom have recourse to the hand, and the feeling of the akin, or cellular rnembrance, for as certaining a disposition to fatten; anil since Uakewell directed the public attention so muchtobreeding that practice has become mote generally known. Handling cannot easily be defined, nnd ran only be learnt by experience. The skin and fleshof cattle, when handled, should feel soft to the touch, somewhat resembling that of a mole, but with a little more resistance to the finger. A soft and mellow skin must be more pliable, and more easily stretched out, to receive any extraordinary quantity of fat nnd muscle, than a thick or tough one. The rigid-skinned animal must therefore always be the most difficult to fatten. In a good sheep, the skin is not only soft and mellow, but in some degree elastic. Neither cattle nor sheep can be reckoned good, whatever their shapes may be, unless they are first rate handlers. The improved short horned breed, besides their mellowness of skin, are likewise distinguished by softness and silkiness of hair. Too great a length, however, ought not to be aimed at, since it is not easy, in that case, to preserve a due proportion in the appearance of the animal, without which it cannot be considered perfect. Lightness of offal. An animal solely bred for the shambles, should have as little offal, or parts of inferior value, as possible, consistently with the health of the nnimal, and consequently greater proportion of meat ap plicableasfood for man, This, therefore, the skilful farmer will also keep in vievr in selecting his species of stock.

From the Liverpool correspondence !

. of the Albany Advertiser. Liverpool, September 26. A most alarming and diabolical occurrence took place in the Post Office of this town on the evening, of Saturday last, the 24th instant, which will doubtless excite considerable attention throughout the country. The facts are these a package of letters were put into the letter box, shortly before it closed on the evening in question, addressed to various official persons in Matanzas, Cuba, and the Havana. On stamping these letters, as is customary in such cases. they were found to be loaded with detonated powder, mixed with fragments of copper nails and brass poiuts. Th explosion was so lerrimc as to Winter sev - eril panes of glass iu the Post

Office, and knock down one of "Y "IS mistress, who proceedthe clerks.-But the Pour laborer l1 incontinently to inflict corpor-

who stamped them fe ired worst he had his arms cruelly shatter -

ed, has lost one of his eyes, and ! bt,c u,,t'' be howled with pain is in so dangerous a state that he i l was supposed that the punishis hardly likely to recover. Of i ,ncnt would cure him for ever of

course theperpetrator of this cold blooded act of infamy comnur - ed to w hi h nssnsiii.ition bv the strt I iisdf is manly and strstit - frw:rd intended the compound for tiie destruction of the parties .. to whom the letters were addressed. No clue h s yet been found to the detection of the villain, but

hopea are entertained that he!seirul his skin. The iron will be discovered. The letters ! bad entered into his soul. He

which exploded Mere shattered into a thouau'J pieces, as also a great number rf other Inters, in eluding hankers cheques, and nwuuuic commuuicaiiong. i ne postmaster assured me that, from his inspection of the handwriting, he thought the letters loaded with the powder were not written in England, bat merely sent here to be posted to their destination. .... I.. - . . r-i .flystcrjoii. Mr. Geo. V. Britten, a merchant of New Washington in this county, left h'n resilience we are informed on the 2d inst., with the intention of going to Lonirville lo purchase goods. He did not return at the time he was expected, and a messenger was des patched to Louisville in search of him. It was found upon enquiry that he had left his horse in Jeffersonville and proceeded to Louisville selected his goods and directed them to be packed but did not pay for them ; came back to Jeffersonviile on Thursday evening, and returned immediately to Louisville, since which he has not been heard uf. He had about him a considerable amount of money, and n check on the New Albany Bank for five hundred dollars, which was presented nt the counter of the bank, by an individual whose appearance excited suspicion, and payment was refused. This circumstance connected with the fact that no information could be had of him, either in Louisville or in Jeffersonviile where he left his horse, forces upon his friends the melancholy conclusion that he has been robbed and murdered. There is about Louisville a band of robbers whose acts of daring viflinny nre not excelled in any ennntry. We have never thought that the authorities of that city were sufficiently vigilent in fereting out and detecting those vil lians. A fear more such cases asthisofMr. Britton is supposed to be, will arouse the indignation of the community, and force upon the city such regulations as will give safety to the lives of those who visit it. lndianaian4 Suicide oj a Dog. The United States Gazette of Yesterday has a story about a dos of a sunerior intelligence, and untimely death, the ubststice of which- rs as follows: The dog in question was a opcrb fellow in form and out-

ward attraction as he was taut- )

able and intelligent. He had en d eared himself to his master, and, by dint of long suffering and devotion to his mistress, who was no lover of his kind. His master resided near the Norristown and Philadelphia Rail Road. Gaesar comfortable and, at his ease, attached to the family that gave him a home, and guarded them with the fidelity of his species. He was a dog of some fire and deviltry, and liked an occasional frolic, albeit his general deportment was staid, sober, and an example to his race. One day he was eying the poultry in the yard, and the mounting devil in his heart prompted him to make a dash among them. He yield j to the tempter, pounced upon 1 ,r: '"'ess iuwis ana auiea one ,,,rght. The deed was witness- !,! punishment on the murderer. was belabored with a broom j ,,,e aut of killing chickens. So '11 ;IJ nut it did more. From l'at moment, Caesar was nn .! ; lered dog. The pangs of his !sl"r't w"e grcatef than the nansrs i r I , ... a , ol.

A few days f,f,er 'ds disgrace he walked to i lhe rfd road, about the time when lhe train was want to pass by. A few minutes elapsed, and the icars came tluinderini on.

By the arrival of the brig lyanough, Snowi from Mad eira, whence she sailed on the 25th September, we learn that accounts had been received their form Libson, which stated that the Constitution of 1020, which was similar to that of Spainof 1RI2,had been proclaim ed on the llth beptember in Libsou, and had been accepted by the Queen. That besides it had been received and rublished in Madeira. Circumstantial and positive as this account seems to be, we confess we cannot give it full credit, as by the last arrival from England , we learned that a similar story had been current in London-and if we recollect right, that it came from Madein-which was subsequently found to be untrue.
