Be JOIDI LINDLEY, P.H.D., F.R.8., Professor of Botany in University College, London. A New Edition : with Numerous Alterations and nearly Four Hundred Illustrations. This work was originally prepared, in haste, to mast a regulation of the University of London, by which it was required of all students, that, two years previously to proceeding to their first degree, they should be examined, among other subjects, In " Th e deereeters and differences of the principal natural classes and ordms of *an be =to the Flora of Europe, in the botanical WeeMee of De e." The To purpose of this regulation was to make rang men acquainted with the names and properties the vegetation that surrounds them ; so that, a ft er receiving what of is caned a liberal education, they might not be thrown upon the world, ignore= of the names, at least, of the commonest plena of their own emierg. In the opinion of the author, the messes wee indestehed to gab a real good, and to supply a wide gap in be mom Tebbe at a school, where it is moat desirable eat sem embed bblany aleski he introduced, if it be only to reline the to of the inn atlesetive studies to which yam( peretmome neeenselli eolgeeled. But it we oleo beperbst for the wee of tb ookelentiel There nety be a Moose of egbien is to the tibminge et menbag week tine apes the study of botan but then le ems Irleft eddy as to the imporbeeee Imowbß the rmbed the InW et whith ben Ate to mho maa or *bah Ins 1111111111 , sot at the puma deg a pees= at wry tof emit things, who den set regret that some portion of hie youth should not have been devoted to this kind of inquiry. The Dorseeshire gentleman who put himself to considerable trouble and no small expeme to carry a sack of Hornbeam seed from Florence to London, would have been saved the exertion had he known that the Hornbeam grew in abundance on his own estate; and it may be wifely asserted that every one of that celebrated court party which discovered a prodigy in the beautiful tree in Windsor Park, would have been glad if their early education had =tired them the mortifica tion of learning from Lord M. that the tree in question was only the Spanish Chestnut. Whatever the future intentions of a student of botany may be, it Is indispensable that the fir:A step to be taken should be that of gaining an acquaintance with the common plants of I , 'a own country. In the absence of that, be cannot make a single move in advance. Ile must first master the rudiment. of the science, and meter them correctly. This little took has been prepared for the purport of enabling him to do so. It contains all that it is necessary to know In coder to make a fair beginning, and it includes no more ;so that If nee should hew the patience to master the whole contents of the volatibe, he weld then be in a position to carry his inquiries onwards with ease. But it in not really necessary to become acquainted with all the plants hem mentioned. The reason why so many species are Int roduced, which are of nab importance, is to enable the teacher to obtain at least Ism part et them to illustrate his teaching. Local circumstances, sad ampadiay our uncertain seasons, will always render it difficult to procure even thing here mentioned; but no conceivable eircuntrtances can, in this country, offer impediments to the examination of a large part. In selecting the subjects with which the strident is to be made acquainted, acquainted, those have been generally charm which are within say man's reach ; and to render the acquisition of them more easy, the vulgar names are added. A very small sum of money will enable every schoolmaster to cultivate the whole in a garden, where they may be constantly at hand. In framing the technical characters of genera and species, all the more minute distinctions, the detection of which requires the aid of a microscope, have been intentionally disregarded: and attention lama especially tailed to those which are obvious enough to be observed by any one having a pocket lens. Which of the European natural orders regard se the " prin cipal," will be apparent, from the prominence given here to certain natural orders beyond others. The teacher is not, however, recom mended altogether to omit those which are stated to be comparatively unimportant. The wisest course will be to make the students thoroughly acquainted, In the first instance, with the natural orders which are marked from I. to LX XIII., and then to explain more briefly the difference of those to which no numbers are prefixed. In conclusion, the teacher is particularly recommended to take ease that, in addition to a small pen knife, each student is provided with a pocket lens of about a half-inch focus, and a few quires of paper ; the former to =in him in examining, and the latter in drying the flesh s pecimens of p la nt. dally brought before him. There is no method so certain as the latter, to accustom young persons to esti mate correctly the differences between one plant and another; and, it is presumed, no one will think of teaching Botany, without an ample supply of fresh specimens, which he may distribute among his elms, for the purpose of being examined and studied at leisure. Indeed, ft Is useless to study botany, unless this provision is made for the acquisition of those habits of oteervation which render natural history so peculiarly useful as a branch of mental training. When students do not enjoy the advantages of a competent teacher, their hest Man will le to put this book into the hands of an intelligent gardener, and to induce him to furnish them weekly with the plants that are named in it. At home they can compare the definitions which they may find with the plants th emselves, and this kind of practice is, oe all others, the most certain to lead to advan tageous results. None of the woodcuts employed in the first edition ve been introduced on this occasion. Experience shows that, for ha purposes of teaching, it is indispensable that as much accuracy as is attainable should be observed in preparing the illustrations. To the untrained eye, plants are too much alike in reality ; executed, or much dminished, woodcum increase this reeemblance, and consequently =ll,l more than instruct. The cuts now employed will, it is render it impossible that any mistake should be made by even the most inexperienced as to the plants to which they belong. The facilities, indeed, offered to artists by Mr. Palmer's Glypho graphic proems, or analogous modes of engraving, which have been chiefly employed on this occasion, leave little to desire on the score of areuracy.

THE CONGRESS. - - The present Congress promises to be a stormy one. In the debate on the Message, the President is called upon to state to the house what he designs in regard to the war—whether means to prosecute it with a view to the conquest and possession of the provinces of New Mexico, Chihuahua, Ceahuila, New Leon, Tamaulipas, and the Californias ; and should the Executive deem it expedient, he is called upon to make the communication to the house in secret session.

In south country qualities little wee done, millers gene rally holding off for the anticipated supplies, which, from the favourable change of the wind, must be close at hand. What business however occurred was hilly at • rise of 2s. to as. per qr., whilst foreign, at tbs same time, partook of a similar improvement. Flour was more saleable, and some quantity of households was takes" r , for Manchester, at 500. per Neck. Rye is much wanted. • Malting Barley must be quott-d 2s. dearer, 52a. having boa . made of Norfolk descriptions weighing 631ba. per bola Malt rather dearer.

Oats also point upward, and are in good demand. - - - DUBLIN, DEC. 29.—Our supplies this day were not large, yet our market was not animated. Barley was at 6d. per barrel reduction. Wheat sold slowly at M rte td d ay's prices ; but Oats fully sustained their value. Flour and Oatmeal are without change.

The estimated appropria tions for fortifications next year is 495,600 dollars. 3,434 Indians have been removed west of the Missis sippi_ since the last annual report. TREASURY REPORT.—The Secretary 'of the Trea sury has also issued his report, or budget. It is a very lengthy document. Financial matters are con sidered more cheering than expected. We glean the following abstract from the New York Weekly Herald: The revenue from customs for the year ending June 30, 1847, is estimated at 27,836,731 dole., which will be an excess on that received for the year ending June 30, 1846, of 1,123,064 doh. This estimate is made upon the tariff as it now stands, having no reference to the proposed duty upon tea and coffee. Should the estimate of receipts final customs, public lands, and other sources, for the yeag ending June 30, 1847, be realised, the aggregate lace's* or receipts into the treasury from these source* from. the issue of treasury notes, and added to the surplus cal hand on the Ist of July lut, the commencement of present fiscal year, will be 50,462,170,08 debt. The expen ditures for the same period, in the event of the war tinning and being prosecuted with vigour, are Intim at 55,241,212,09 doh., exhibiting a deficiency for the year 4,779,042,01 dots. The estimates of receipts and expendi tures for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1848, exhibit a deficiency of 18,560,828,52 doh. This estimate is also made upon the present tariff, and it will be seen that the loan or nineteen millions will be required to meet this deficiency; whatever surplus may be necessary, meat be raised fres * d=ev eri gn owa ied tea and Be , Lei Ammo W sr t of the Wipe Irri die Beceehe Treisein. duty of 25 per cent. upon tea and coffee would, it is esti mated, produce a revenue of two and a half million of dollars per annum. According to official returns, the aggregate value of tea and coffee imported into the United States, for the year end ing June 30. 1846, was 11,786,231 dole., a duty on which of 25 per cent., would yield a gross revenue of 2,946,557,75 dole. A falling off of about two millions, or about 17 per cant., in the aggregate value of both articles consumed, in consequence of the duty proposed, is estimated, which would reduce the revenue to two and a half mil lions of dollars from that source. The public debt of the United States on the Ist of December, 1816, including loans, treasury notes, ete , was 24,256,494,60 doh. Since the 4th of March, 1845, 1,680,605 doh. of the principal of the public debt have been? aid. The Se cretary says that the revenue from: a 4 tonal nder the tariff of 1842, for a year or two previous to: hey epeal of. hat act, had been gradually falling off, on account of then rohibiting character of the vemfic duties enforced. The value of mer chandise imported fbr the year ending June *3O, 1816, was larger than had been received for several years previous, and the decrease in the revenuer or that year was aneed by a fulling off in the importation of those descriptions of merchandise paying the higher rates of duty, and a larger importation of free goods, and those paying moderate rates of duty. At the date of these accounts the government were manifesting increased energy iu collecting means for prosecuting the war. Several merchant ships had been purchased for the public service, and Commo dore Stewart was to proceed in the Ohio, to take command of the Gulph squadron, with which he was to attack San Juan de Ulloa. Letters from the Havannab, received at New Orleans, had excited considerable fears, as it was announced that the At- Isntic would be immediately filled with privateers. 1 The new regiments were almost complete. The Fresisington Union states, that since the battles of May last, no less than three hundred thousand vo lunteers had proffered their services in the war. l Mr. Calhoun had been re-elected to the United States Senate, for a term of six years, from the 4th of March next, by the legislature of South Carolina. The Virginia Legislature assembled on the 7th inst. 1 The finances of the state, according to the message of the governor, were in a satisfactory state; the expul sion of all free persona of colour is recommended, and internal improvements, in point of railroads, to develop the riches of the great south-western valley of Vir ginia, are urged. The:Mexican war must not termi nate, " except by concessions of territory by the offending power." The freedom of commerce is maintained. The Mormon disturbances had been quieted. The Secretary of the Treasury had decided, that the operation of the new tariff commenced on the Ist ins t. The Bauthelitt mafl arrived at Washington ea the 11th. The steamer Neptune arrived at Tampico, Nov. 22, with four hundred and fifty regular troops, under command of Col. Gates. The steamer Sea arrived with more troops on the 23rd, when the town was im mediately handed over to the army. Fort Orondaga was garrisoned under the name of Fort Conner, and armed with two long 8 pounders. A battery of two 42 pounders carronades has been erected, and some field-pieces are mounted on the house-tops. Saltillo has been abandoned, and is understood to be now in possession of the advance guard of the army under General Worth. The population of the city of Mexico is said to be in a very insubordinate state. Santa Anna lately made an address to his troops, apparently to extract from them an invitation to reinstate himself at the head of the government. He was disappointed, however, at finding that his oration was received in profound silence, and immediately afterwards he started with all his cavalry on a secret expedition. Some think it was to cut off one of the divisions of our army, which he will not be likely to find. The most probable conjecture is, that he is gone to Mexico to control the action of the new Congress. The steamer Sea had run on shore near Tampico. A letter from Pensacola, December 7, to the Picayune, says that Captain Tatnall, with the steamer Spitfire, has gone up the river, sixty or seventy miles from Tampico, and taken possession of two towns, at one of which he captured ten large cannon, and a heavy quantity of ammunition which had been re ceived from Tampico, when the Mexicans retreated from that city. The two regiments which evacuated that place revolted when they got to San Luis Potosi, and were disbanded. They were opposed to Santa Anna. Great dissensions prevailed at San Luis Potosi. The army, about 16,000 strong, were, according to American accounts, in a state of starvation. Faction also reigned. The Indians have made slight attacks on detach ments of the American force, under Gen. Wool. It is stated that the celebrated Seminole chief, Wildcat, is now in Texas, at the head of 300 warriors. The government stores now at San Antonio are estimated to be sufficient to sustain General Wool's entire division of 3,000 men. Commodore Stockton has issued a proclamation declaring Upper and Lower California, by right of conquest, a territory of the United States. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. In the money market there bad been no material alteration. New Yone, Dec. 11.—Baganerrrm—Sineethe reception of half a month's Liter advice!, per Caledonia, prices, which were before falling, suffered a further reduction of 181 and 23 cents per barrel. On Monday there was a pretty fair business done, the sales amounting to about 25,000 barrels, principally for shipment, at S dolt!. for prime Michigan, Genesee, and Ohio, afloat, and 3 dots. for Genesee in store, deliverable at the option of the buyers. On Tuesday, about 6,000 bu rets were disposed of, at 5 doh. for Genesee, Michigan, and Ohio, and towards the end of the day we heard of came sales at lower prices. In southern there has not been much done, the sales during the week amounting only to about 5,000 barrels Howard-street for export at S dots. Gesnitetown and Brandywine are dull at S dole. 25 c. and some inferior descriptions at 4 dots. 87 1 c. a nd S dole. Rye-flnur is inactive at previous rates. For corn-meal there has been more inquiry, and we notice sales for 3.000 barrels Jersey at 3 dots. 621 e., ',ow ao. on private terms, and 1,000 do. Brandywine 3 dole. '75 C. cash, which is a reduction of 12 1 c. The market continues to be well supplied with all kinds. Yestenlay there was not much doing, the weather preventing all out-door transactions, and the market closed heavy at the previous rates. The grain market has been pretty brisk, and prices have not receded since the arrival of the Caledonia. The demand continues good, and the sales are about 10,000 bushels of Pennsylvania red at I dol.; 30,000 white Genesee at 1 dol. 14c. aid 1 dol. 15e. •, 3,000 Illinois, at Idol. ; and 10,000 fair to good Ohio, at 1 dol. 4c. to I dol. 10c. cash. There were also gains of 20,000 bushels Illinois and 15,000 Genesee on terms not made public. The decline in corn in England has not unfavourably affected the market here, there baring been but little export demand lately, and the sale!, made since the arrival of the Caledonia show no reduction in ririees—theyinclude 15,000 bushels new northern at 59c. to 60e. • 4400 old ditt 2,400 inferior southern, 621 e., weight ; and 2,090 western, on terms we did not learn. Corron.—The sales to-day are quite 2,500 bales, and have been effected at very full prices; a portion e the purchases for export, but the bulk were on speculation, and at rates rather beyond our out side quotations.

Since the foregoing was written, we have received, by the Caledonia, New York papers to the 16th, in clusive. The news from the seat of war is not important. The capture of Saltillo is confirmed. General Taylor had returned to Monterey. It was his intention to proceed, with the whole of his dis posable force, to Tampico, by a route leaving San Luis Potosi to the right. Arrived at Tampico, and having the necessary forces to carry out his future operations, an attack would be made on Vera Cruz, simultaneously by sea and land. The sudden disappearance of Santa Anna is con firmed. It is supposed that he has gone round the mountains to attack Saltillo, which was in possession of a small American force under Gen. Worth ; or he may have gone out to intercept Gen. Taylor's march from Monterey to Tampico, at which latter point the American forces are now being concentrated prepara tory to a combined land and naval attack upon the fort at Vera Cruz, and other movements. Santa Anna's store vessels were pursued up the Tampico river, sixty or seventy miles, and captured, with considerable ammunition and artillery. The Americans in Santa Fe were preparing an ex pedition to chastise two hostile ;tribes of Indians in that vicinity, and the people of Western Texas were 1Z there. frontier regiments, for protection ageing c = The relia ee ble intelligence from Mexico extends only to the 12th of November. A mail is daily expected rid Havannah. Reports of a contradictory nature have come to hand, representing great dissensions in Santa Anna's army, but much dependence cannot be placed upon them. Congress was to meet on the 7th or Bth of December, and the first business, it was thought, would be the appointment of commissioners o negociate a peace, in accordance with the peace p •opoution offered, m July or August last, by the President of the United States. _ _ _ We extract the following from the New York Herald. It furnishes the new plan of operations to be undertaken against Mexico: All the laudable efforts that have been made by our go vernment having failed to secure the object we wished, it now becomes necessary to change the plan of operations, and commence a system which will force from the enemy • peace that we shall dictate on our own terms, in the heart of his capital, if we cannot get it without going there. The government at Washington view the matter in the same light, and we now have the pleasure of laying before our readers the new plan of operations that will be imme diately commenced, and which we have obtained from a source that entiles it to confidence. Although it is not official, it is as authentic as it can be. Indeed there is scarcely a doubt of its correctness. The ob ject of this change in our tactics, is to capture the Cagle of San Juan de Ulloa by sea, the city of Vera Cruz by land, then march towards the city of Mexico, taking all the towns on the way, and finally attacking and capturing the veritable capital of the Montezuma, that we have all heard and read to much about. The preliminaries necessary to carry these arrangements into effect have, we learn, all been made by our government. Instead of General Taylor going to San Luis Potosi, as was first supposed would be the order of march, that gallant officer will go no farther in that direction than Saltillo, which; place he will fortify and hold. General Scott's first destination is probably Camargo, where he will complete some arrangements ; thence he will go to Tampico, where he will take command of the troops already there, and the seven thousand troops recently ordered into service by the Secretary of War, and who are directed to rendezvous at that place, which is to be the base of his operations. After making all his arrangements, Gen. Scott will then take up his line of march for Vera Cruz. General Taylor having invested and garrisoaed Saltillo, will, with the troops not in garrison under his command, and those probably under I command of General Wool, direct his steps towards the Gulf coast, and perhaps form a junction with General Scott. Of this, however, we are not sure. The two forces united, General Scott, with his force, will push on to Vera Cruz, and attack that city, while the squad ron in the Gulf, under Commodores Conner and Perry, or perchance Stewart, will simultaneously attack the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa. After taking these places, the combined armies will take up their line of march to the city of Mexico, capturing and garrisoning all the towns between the capital sad Vera Cruz. It will ke sessessey is all thew - Important movements, to keep one eye on Santa Anna. That I,eneral, is • shrewd, cunning officer, and if Saltillo be feebly garrisoned, he will bring the whole of his army down upon the place, to annihi late the troops stationed there. This, however, is an outline of the new plan of operations against the enemy. In addition to the regular army, and with the view of insuring success in his attack upon Vera Cniz and San Juan d'Ulloa, with as little los as pos sible to our forces, General Scott will also have under his command, a company of one hundred men, officered by Captain Huger, Lieut. Charles P. Stone, wind Lieut. Magner, who have been for some time past drilling in the howitzer and bomb exercise. The ordnance department at Fort Mon roe have been engaged for some time in preparing howitzers, batteries, bombs, rockets, &e., for the use of this force, which, when finished, will be sent to Tampico., subject to the order of General Scott. The squadron in the guiph to co-operate in this enter] - will consist of the following vessels : Tar omy OR ROMS SQUADRON. Guts. Onna. liigates..

The number of guns in the Gulf will then amount to 310, which we suppose will be amply sufficient to make the attack on San Juan de Ulloa successful. There will probably be no change made in the Pacific squadron until the arrival there of Com. Shubrick It will remain under the command of Commodore Stockton or Biddle, both now in the Pacific, and maintain a rigid block ade of all the ports on that side of Mexico, and retain possession of the territory captured by the skill and energy of Commodores Sloat and Stockton.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing on the 12th, says: "At a meeting of democratic senators, it was agreed to support Mr. Sevier for chairman of the committee of foreign relations. General Gass would have been nominated, but he is understood to have declined the post. Mr. Lewis will be made chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Dix is to be chairman of the com mittee on commerce in . place of Mr. Haywo'd, re signed. A strong . opposition to Mr. Bancroft's eon firmalon as minister to England is anticipated. It seems to be assumed, almost as a matter of course, that he would be rejected. It is said likewise that efforts:am making to defeat the nomination of Mr. Mason, as secretary of the navy. There is some con versation upon the rumoured retirement of Mr. Bu chanan from the state department, and his acceptance of the French mission. I suppose it is only talk. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the :harriers's Sus of Dec. 15.) The new tariff, under the act of July, 1846, having only gone into operation on the Ist of the present month, a sufficient time hits not elapsed to judge of its effect upon the revenue. It is believed by the administration that he receipts u,der it will equal, if not exceed, those under tbe act ot t 1842, which it supersedes. The demand for breadstuffs for exportation is still very great, and not only all the packet ships but every transient yawl that can be had are engaged In transporting our surplus agricultural products. The supply, as yet, is fully equal to the demand, but as some of the avenue+ from the interior to the sea-board are becoming closed for the winter, should the demand continue, a very considerable advance in prices may be calculated upon, particularly in Flour. The stock of Flour at New York market is about 350,000 barrels, against nearly doable that quantity at the close of river navigation last year, and searcely any arriving. The home consumption is about 10,000 barrels a week. As to the great Maple of Cotton, we cannot add much that is en cooraging to the reports carried out by the Acadia and Great Western. It Is estimated that the whole crop will tall short of the average about 400,000 bales. A killing' (mat, which occurred on the 19th November, has put an end to cotton growing for the season In the uplands of Georgia and South Carolina, and the latest estimates of the crop of 1816-47 are from 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 bales. It is difficult, in the face of daily arrivals and exports at different and distant points, to get at the exact figures ; the following are as accurate as the nature of the case will allow, em bracing statements made up at all the cotton depot in the United States : Stock on hand.
