A load of timber is 5 cubical feet, a ton 40 feet; confequently, a 74-gun fhip takes 2000 large timber trees, namely, trees of nearly two tons each. Mult we not feel a concern for the probable fituation of this country at fome future period? In our XXth Volume, p. 35, we gave M. Forfyth's Specification of the Ingredients forming his Compofition for curing Difeafes and Injuries in Trees; with his Directions for preparing the Trees, and laying on the Compofition. In a Poitfcript to the Third Edition of his "Treatife on the Culture and Management of Fruit-Trees," just published, Mr. Forfyth has the following paragraphs: "Iavail myfelf of this opportunity, to add a difcovery which I have recently made; and which, as being calculated to fave time and labour, may deferve attention. "Infead of paring away the bark, as had heretofore been the practice, and covering the ftem with the Compofilion, I now merely fcrape off the loofe bark, and apply a mixture of cow dung and urine only (made to the confiftence of a thick paint), with a painter's brush covering the ftem carefully over. This foftens the old fcabrous bark, which peels off during the fol lowing winter and spring, and is fuc ceeded by a fine fmooth new bark. "W. FORSYTH." This Poft fcript alfo contains the following letter on the subject of the Compofition: "To Mr. Forfyth, Royal Gardens, Kenfington. « SIR, "As you had the goodness lately to give us an opportunity of examining feveral trees in Kenfington Gardens, in the various ftages of renovation, or filling-up with new wood; and as reports have been circulated, tending to difcredit the efficacy of your procefs; we feel it an act of justice, not only to you, but to the Country, which is deeply interested in your difcoveries, thus publicly to declare, that the ftatements you have published on the fub. ject contain nothing more than the truth.
