London, July 28,
We copy the following article from a
French paper, entitled The Journal
of the Prefecture of the North:—
" The Princess Matilda, daughter
of the unfortunate Princess of ScliWart
aettherg, who in 1811 fell a victim to
her paternal love at a fire which broke
out in a ball room at Paris, was at the
age of twelve months attacked by a
violent fever, which so entirely under
mined her constitution that she was
unable to walk until she attained the
age of five years, and then it was at
tended w ith much difficulty to herself.
A short time afterwards she was afflict
ed with abscess on her right hip. From
the age of nine years she could no long
er walk ; she was carried about bv |ier
attendants. She was taken to .Vice,
in lialy ; the most skilful physicians
of Parlaand Vienna were consulted,and
they all agreed that her case, was in
curable. M. Dubors attended her du
ring three years, and gave his opinion
that the I‘nncem Jlntibta might, live,
but she neve would he able to walk.
For two years her relations placed her
w ith a physician of \V urt/burg. It was
not with any idea of curing her, but
hoping that he might be able to in
vent some instrument by which she
would at least he enabled to move her
self. Thus, while ail hopes of curing
her were at an end, the following let
ter was received, written by her gov
erness, who witnessed the whole of the
transactions which she relates:
“ 1 am going to inform you of the
miraculous cure of the Princess Matli*
da. It is not a physician, hut Gwl on
ly, through the agency of a religious
man, who has worked this miracle.
Yesterday morning we quite unex
pectedly received a visit from Prince
Ah xuDrier of ilohcnloe.who is a priest ;
be demanded of Matilda ifsheueliev
ed that find could cure her? upo.i her
reply, he c lUsed a peasant, who was
in the neighborhood, to come to her,
the latter put some Questions to Ma il
da touchiug her malady and assured
her that if she firmly believed that God
Cvtuld render her able to walk she would
be cured instantly. She replied ihatshe
was convinced (iod could cure her. lip*
on this the man commenced “ prayer
iu the German language, the Prince
unit myseJ' being pr»sr>./. When he
finished lus prayer he said to her, tj you
ktiteve nsr hi a.-t r unm you are re
covered. Matilda, without hesitation,
got up from her bed, and walked all a
found the chamber ; and returned
thunks to God for this signal act of mer
cy. From the moment of her cure the
towns people crowded to behold her.
Tins event Iras created a very great
Sensation. This morning we went to
chapel together. Ma ilda walked down
the stairs with only giving me her
hand. She entered lire chapel with
out the least assistance. I here were
many persons assembled there to have
a sight other. \\ e have had a grand
dinnerparty; after which she walked
in u-e garden a long time. We do no
thing else but weep tor joy.

PLANTS.
“ Plants being possessed of no lo
comotive powers, fan grow only in
places where they are supplied with
food ; and (he soil is necessary to
their existence, both as affording
them nourishment, and enabling tin nt
to fix themselves in such a manner
a* to obey those mechanical laws by
which their radicles are kept hclow
the surface, and tbeir leaves exposed
to the free atmosphere. As the sys
tem of routs, branches and leaves are
very different in d.ft'erent vegetables,
Bother flourish most in different soils;
the plants that have bulbous root ;
cod the plants possessing only short j
fibrous r-.dicles demund a firmer soil
than such as have tap routs, or ex
tensive lateral roots.” dayy.
SOILS.
“ Some soils are much more heat
ed by the ra»s of the son, all other
circumstances living equal, linn nth
ers ; and soils brought to the same
degree of he.it, cool iu different times,
i. e. some cool much faster th .u oth
ers.
41 This property Ins been very lit
tle attended to in a pliilosi.phical
point of view- ; yet it is of the high
est imporuuce in agriculture. In
general soils that consist principally
of a stiff while clay are difficultly
heated ; and b rug usually very moist,
they retain their heat only for a short
time.” —Vliallcs are similar in one
respect, that they arc ditfuriiltly heat
ed, but being drier they retain their
h.-al longer, less being consumed in
causing the evuporutiuu uftheir mots
lure.
44 A black soil containing much
soft vegetable matter, is most healed
by the sun and air ; an<l the coloured
soils, and the soils containing much
carbonaceous miller or ferruginous
matter, exposed under cqu 1 eirriim
stancos in mio acquire a much high
er temperature .than pale colored
soils.
•* When soils are perfectly dry,
those that most readily become heat
ed by the solar rays likewise cool
most rapidly ; but 1 have ascertain
ed by experiment, tlrat the darkest
c lor. d dry soil, (that which contains
uhiiadauee of animal or vegetrbie
matter: substances which most fa
cilitate the diminution of temp ra
ture,) when heated to the same de
gree, provided it be within the com
mon limits of the effect of the solar
heat, will cool more slowly than n
wet pale soil, entirely composed of
earthly nia'ter.
44 1 found that a rich black mould,
which contained neurly t-4 of vege
table mailer bad its temper ure in
creased in an bo"r from 03 deg. to
88 deg by exposure to the sunshine ;
whilst a chalk soil was heated only
to f»U tleg. under the same cir um
stance*. Lint the mould removed in
to the shade, w here the temparature
was 02 deg. lost, in half an hour, 13
deg.; where.is the chalk, under the
same cii cuiiistaiices, had lust onlr 4
deg.
44 Deep ploughing may be a very
profitable p nciiee in a rich thick
soil ; and iu a fertile shallow soil,
situated upon a coM clay or sandy
subsoil, it may be extremely prejudi
cial.
*• In instances where successive
generations of vegetables have grown
upon a sod, uuless part of their pro
duce hat been earned »ft' fiv in.n, or
consumed try animals, the vegetable
matter increases m such u proportion
that the soil approaches to a peat
in its nature ; and if iu a situation
where it eau receive water from a
high district, it becomes spongy, aud
p. i located with that fluid, and is gra
dually rendered ineap lde of sup
porting the nobler classes of vegeta

Snow and ice are bad coudnetors of
