THIS DAY, Four o'Cloek. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Medway, Capt. Andrews, left Southampton yesterday afternoon with nails for the West India Islands and the Gulf of Mexico. She had on board quicksilver of the value of 9,3,501. ; specie, 8,5001. ; a general cargo ; and 35 pawiengers. - The Penineular and Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, Capt. Evans, is to leave this day for Malta and Alexandria. She takes the Southampton portion of the India and China mails, a valuable cargo, and 20 passengers. The last news from the River Plate brought Roses' annual message on opening the twenty-fourth session of the so- call ed "legislature," at Buenos Ayres. It expresses, as usual, a simulated anxiety to be relieved from the duties and responsibilities of command, which has been reiterated yearly since 1839, and then proceeds to congratulate the assembly on the position of their country, which has become so "elevated and glorious," that " its valour soars equally high with its truth and immortal celebrity." This is a fair sped- Men of Rosa style ; as for the document itself, the annexed quotations are all that can be of interest in this country.

I gave directions, therefore, to Mr. Little to be ready with tai the boats of the Iris at daylight the tillowing morning, Mimed W the Phlagethon cutters, and to proceed to attack tW noted aid, whims: he might be found.

Neither Mr. Brook* nor myself had intended to take any active part in the expedition, but the unlooked-for, and, I may add, extraordinary circumstance of the sudden snivel of 90 war praline, carrying 20 guns, and about 400 men, under their chiefs, inhabiting districts for 20 miles round, for the purpose of paying their respects to the English rajah, and to enure him of their anxiety for legitimate commerce, and their wish to be friends of England, entirely altered the position of affairs. Mr. Brooke with his accustomed decision, after a lengthened discussion with their chie ft ains, declared it to be bin belief that they were honest men, and that it would be very impolitic on our part to refuse the offer of their aid, and that he should wish to accompany them. Of course I sequined immediately, and it was arranged that we should go together in the gig, thus putting implicit confidence in their faith, whilst Lieutenant Little could always keep his forces compactly together, reedy to act on the tart semblance of treachery. At five a.m, on the 18th, the boats were in movement. At eight I crossed the bar in a beautiful new gig the admiral gave me, the principle Pangeran of our new allies showing the channel. Lieutenant Little's force came next, and about • quarter of a mile in the rear the large fleet of prahus. It was a picturesque :scene, boat a.'ter boat dashing through the surf with their gaudy flags and long streamers, and then shooting into the unruffled stream beyond, and taking up their assigned positions, which were well under command of my guns and rockets. Our force now commenced pulling up against a strong ebb, and after three good hours at the oars, the tint attempt to oppose our progress appeared in large rafts floating down, and soon afterwards the report of guns in the distance was heard. On pulling swiftly round • point to clear one of the rafts, the gig being then about 60 yards a-head of the main division, we come suddenly upon • long line of thick bamboo stakes fixed across the stream, with an immense boom attached to them, but which, owing to the &tribes, bad swung athwart. Facing these defences, only eighty yards distant, a fort had been meted, which, u soon as our hosts came into view, opened fire. Before the enemy could reload, I fell bask ripen the gun-boats, and ordered Mr. Little to give way mad nat them." He was soon followed by the barge MI MUM, and the action beanie genesal--shat, rockets, sad stay; bat owing to the slareigus of tide it was isa =butts' before my fleet lieutenant e tr t over the sheet diaries ; and when he finally ca the fort, he hod it had been armed with small swi vel guns only, which the defenders had managed to carry into the jangle. Ono of our native allies recognised Haelep Samoa and his Borman sub-officers in the battery. Having demolished the fort, and destroyed the magazines, 'munition, &c., we pushed on, without losing time ; and observing, as we passed *narrow creek, • prahu endeavouring to esespe, we dashed at her, and captured her, the crew, who escaped, leaving behind their spears krises, and sumpelans—i. e., quivers of poisoned arrows. The country was now extremely beautiful. The interior of the homes were extremely neat—mats, threshing and knitting machines, ordinary implements, and other fur niture, in capital order; and had it not been for the nume rous human skulls suspended from the ceiling in regular fes toons, with the thigh and arm bones occupying the inter vening spaces , sad other ornaments peculiar to the wildest chile of Dyaks, I should have fancied myself in a civilised land. At three P.M., on coming 'to • turn of the river, a '- ficent man.ion presented itself to our view, the verandah of which gave • frontage of 200 feet by 20 in breadth. It was close to the river, and partially concealed by cocoa-nut trees. One of these had been cut down, and of it a kind of ahattis was made, from behind which, as our boats advanced, a masked battery was opened. The guns were quickly silenced, and I was not long in jumping on terra firma, rifle in hand. The enemy were driven into the interior, carrying off their killed and wounded. The house was soon in flames ; and amongst the internal decorations consumed were fifty busman skulls, and as many packages of human bones, many of them evidently the latest gifts of the Dyak gentlemen to their lady loves; for you must know that no aristocratic youth dare venture to pay his addresses to the fair one unless he throws at a blushing maiden's eat a net full of skulls at the same time that he offer his hand and heart. At four, P.M., we bivouacked for the night, and early in the morning of the 17th, a deserter from Hadgi Semen swam across the river to our camp, and informed us that his chief bad retreated in despair to the houses at the head of the river. At early dawn, therefore, we were on his track, and in half an hour • cheer from the headmost boats signalised that the last refuge of the enemy was in sight. A few strokes more and our guns and rockets were in play, and after a vain endeavour of the resolute chief, by musketry and sunspots, to oppose our steely advance, he was compelled to abandon his fortress and retreat into the wilderness. Having burnt all the build ings of theft inhabitants who had taken an active part against us, we returned down the river, and were on board the ship by meet. Our loss was one seaman of the Iris killed, and four wounded; two of the Phlegsthon's, and eight of our native allies wounded. The native chiefs rendezvoused at the Phlegethon, where we entertained them till a late hour, each of them swearing to protest the persons and property of all shipwrecked or distressed Europeans who might be driven on their iron bound coast; and I really hope we have made • commence ment in the good work of rendering these seas secure for the peaceful neder. The wonderful effect of our Congreve roc kets gave them an idea of our power, whilst our uniform kindness to all the unpiratical tribes plainly bespoke our anxiety to be friendly with the good.

The potato.* which I have Weed ftwea nal the last six yam ban been free from doe prevailing &essay and surpase quality all patellae the eld amts. " The seal is need in the to followieg wooer : The berries dosed be gathered in Wawa, before the frost sets in, and he pmearved fa a dry place, where b fros i t Gonad that. mil Jem the egn*, Of reasia February. They e r e them to be broken or by the haat, and placed is a tab or other wed, where they most ramie six or eight days to ferment • little ; then water is to be thrown on them, and well stirred, in order to separate the pulp and husks from the seed, which should then be eea»wd and dried, and kept in a warm room until sown. " A. the potato is a native of • tropics] climate, it is Ms possible that it can form and produce perfect seed in the open air in our cold climate. It as therefore of the greatest Im portance that the berries should be perfectly - healthy, be gathered before the frost sets in, and be kept in a dry place, where frost cannot approach them, in order that they may ripen and perfect the seeds. If the berries are collected and preserved as I have directed, they will be as fair and fresh at the end of January or beginning of February as they were when gathered from the plant, and the seed as large again as that which was taken at once from the berries at autumn ; the latter is very light and imperfect , and only a very mull portion of it is capable of growing; imperfect seed only pro duces weak plants, and • weak plant bears but little fruit, and that is imperfect. " Formerly the great mistake was made of sowing unripe and imperfect potato seed : as • consequence it required three or four years before a tolerably large potato was ob tained. This was the cause which many persona from cultivating potatoes from seed; but this difficulty I have now, thank God, overcome. " At the end of March or beginning of April the potato seed should be sown in a hotbed, the grains being sown a quarter of an inch asunder. If there are no sashes to pot over the bed, it should be cowed at night and in cold wea ther by mats or board*, as the youeg pleats are very sensitive to frost. It is very important that the seed should be sown on a hot-bed made of horse-dung, mit sprouts with difficulty, and requires artificial heat to make it early productive in our climate. if the seed is SONE in a cold bed it remains until the middle of May before it ewes up, and the crop will be retarded and diminished; bat if it is sown as I have pointed oat, there will be fine large plants by the middle of May, which may be planted out is the field. Until the plants are put out, the soil in which they were sown mast be kept mo derately moist, and when they are put out they must be freely watered if the weather be dry. " If the potato plants have advanced so far by the middle or end of May as to have attained the height of four inches, they may be planted out in loose rich soil at about the same &wee from one another as potato.* are usually planted, and this is best done on a cloudy day or immediately after rain. It n of importance that they should be put down into the earth two inches lower than they stood in the seed bed ; this will cause them to form fresh roots, which produce the most numerous and best tubers. " If the plants have not produced tubers they may be left until they have attained a height of fire or six inches, and may be planted three inches deeper in the ground than they stood in the seed bed. They will thus produce more roues; but care must be taken that the young plants do not produce tubers while they remain in the seed bed, and they should ba often examined lest they should do so, medley will be very much weakened if allowed to form tubers before they are put out. " The earthing up of the potatoes raised from seed should be dam earl , and not too much; for it the plants are put out Is vrssthar which is not very unfavourable they soon begin to shoot up, and the entire soil is peon /tied try very i small fine fibres, which would be injured by a high or late ' earthing up, the productioa of tubers be delayed for a fort night or three weeks, and the produce diminished. I must remark that the potato plants thrive best in • rich sandy soil which has been deeply dug." The foregoing extracts contain two most important state ment; and if they should be confirmed by general ex perience, there is no estimating their importance. One is, that it is possible to raise an abundance of fully-grown potatoes from seed in one meson; and the other, that such potatoes will resist the general prevailing disease for six years at least. I bad an opportunity of testing the first preparation last summer, and can testify to its literal accuracy. I am promised a detailed amount of the result of the experiment, the institution of which I wit. nosed, but it will require many and varied trials before the second proposition san be considered as established; in the mean tame, it seems highly probable that Zander's statement is correct, and one would naturally expect that potatoes raised from seed, as he directs, would be more hardy and healthy than those raised in any other way. I had the pleasure of spending lest June at the baths of Rippoldrau, in the Black Forest, and my first informa tion was deried from M. °winger, the owner of the baths and of much surrounding property. He hand of the plan only on the preceding month, and lost no time in procuring and sowing some seed in a hotbed ,• it was *own on the 9th of May ; an the 9th of Jane the frame was removed, in order to harden the plants, and on the 19th of June some fifty or sixty, of about four in ches high, were planted out in my presence. I left on the 4th of July, and the plants were growing vigorously, and promising well; the angle leases of many were them larger than the plants thenisAves were fourteen days before, when they were planted out. M. ()onager hes promised to send me • detailed and accurate report of the result, and also some other interesting experiments on the cultivation of potatoes, which he has instituted. On the 12th of August I was at Brukenan, in Bavaria, and having heard that the gardener of Baron von Thungen (who resided at Zelda'', about five miles off) had raised po- tatoes from seed this year. I went to see them. The gar dener showed me several rows of fine proannieg potatoes, which he informed me he had raised from four potato apples in the manner pointed out by M. Zander, whose letter he had seen in a aewapeper. The seed was sown in March, in a hotbed, and' the plants were put out in May ; the soil was very dry and hard, as the season had been very hot and very little rain had fallen for two months; they had never been watered, nor had any particular care been taken of them, but I never saw finer-looking tops; they were fresh and full of eap,.while many in the neighbourhood were drooping and withering. The potato crop was late in that part of the country, and it was only within the last preceding three weeks that we bad new potatoes at the table d'hite at Kissengen. At my request the gardener examined one or two stools, and broke of • few of the potatoes under them, which he gave me. The ground was full of small tubers, which a few days' rain would swell into an extraordinary crop; each plant seemed to rest on • little heap of potatoes. The specimens he gave me were larger and finer than any we had hitherto had at the table d'hOte ; they were clean skinned and hard, though of coons not fully grown or ripe. I was quite convinced that M. Zander's statement as to the crop was correct I measured • few of the specimens; one NM 51 in. and by in. in circumference • three others mea sured 5 in. by 41 in. It is to be recollected the, this was on the 12th of August, and that these were by no means speci mens of what the crop would be when come to maturity.

ONE of the most glorious characteristics in English history is the fact, that in all the pitched battles of the olden time, between French and English, the English were the victors. The great glory of this superiority does not, to us, exist in the English having had the boldest hearts, the strongest muscles, or the happiest fortune. The cause of the English being al ways victors, lay in the circumstance that they did not depend merely upon their lords and knights, and men in armour, bat upon the humble English yeoman, the peasant with his cloth-yard arrow and his stout axe. It was the English yeomen who carried the day at Cressy and Agincourt, slaying and routing the foe, when the men-at-arms, and their steeds, stuck in the deep mire of the battle field. It may be asked, why the French nobles did not employ and arm their peasants as well u the English, arid put them in the front of action The answer is, that the French feudal lords feared to trust their peasantry with arms. Their tyranny was too great and too severe. The more equitable nature of oar Saxon laws permitted the English to trust acd arm their yeomen. Under French law, this durst not be done. Lord CARDIGAN resembles, in his opinions, the French feudal lord, who was beaten, made captive, and ransomed at Cressy and Poicticrs, because he de pended on his own coat of mail, and could not trust his serfs. Lord CARDIGAN objects to the new law os army enlistment, because it will send forth upon the country a number of men accustomed to the UFC of fire-arms. What a subject of fear ! Instruct some fifty thou sand of the millions of the English peasantry with the use of the musket, and Lord CADDIGAN's order is in danger ! Good lack ! what an opinion the gal lant peer must have of our constitution, and mode of government, as well as of the respect and solidity of the House of Peers. Education used to be opposed, because, it was said, the educated are froward and give trouble. This is now generally exploded for the contrary maxim, that the well-informed are the most peaceable. Lord CARDIGAN imagines that an old soldier, discharged after ten years' service, must retain an in veterate hatred of the aristocracy, and must, in short, have been made a very radical by hie officers' treatment. This is, very possibly, Lord CARDIGAN'S experience in his command of regiments, and we dare say he would make radicals of every man of them. But the military regime of CARDIGAN is, we trust, drawing to a close, and future colonels of regiments, who happen to be peers, will not shrink in alarm from the soldiers who have retired from their !cements, and who bring their knowledge of fire arms into the ranks of the population. what most in Mr. fox Matt Le's bill, is this very thing, at which Lord CARDIGAN shrinks in atiL iqw h, and a c customed to, ffri ht—.the inch7 .l l throughout the country of the a. number of those acquaints,, -ms Mr. FOX arms. And what we find faun. in this MAULS'S bill, is, that it does n o t d oe respect. With our immen s e co l on i es , w i t h . 4 what it may be for many years, with ourlimited army' estimates (may they continue limited), and our poor 100,000 men, in the midst of empires number ing each half a million of bayonets, our true force must be a defensive one. Their half-million of I bayonets do not preclude establishments of national guard, sedentary militia, with the training of citizen and peasant to arms. What are our 20,000 or 40,000 veterans, joined to about as many more troops of the line—even if all could be concentrated—against an invading army of 70,000 Frenchmen ? At present, military men admit, that we could scarcely put 12,000 men in line against an army of invader& Our reliance should be on a reserve or defensive force. The French create one by raising 100,000 recruits every year, and keeping the greater port of them not more than four years in service, by which means no soldier lose, his trade, or hie connexion, or his industrious habits. Our colonial possessions, no doubt, render this more difficult with ns. But, as Sir DE Lace EVANS clearly showed, this does not hold with respect to India, 'allele voluntary re-en listment or exchange almost aiwnys takes place. The remaining colonies arc neither au distant, nor do they contain so large a proportion of the army. Much has been said about the insufficiency of the boons now held out, to entice a better class of recruits into the army. We doubt, indeed, that the prospect of pension, after twenty Seam, will have mint effect upon the providence of a young recruit. Better pay for the present, even if e portior. was retained for future pension, and, above alt, more respectability attached to the lower grade. of the army, by opening access to the higher grades, and thus rendering the army one great profession t—these would have more effect in enticing a better class of men to enlist, than either short terms of enlistment, or remote pensions. These mesas are, however, not overlooked by the ! present propomers of army reform. Facilities and
