Ilk. in boards, THE FARMER'S COMPANION; or, Complete System of Modern H usbandry; including the latest lot. provements and Discoveries in Theory and Practice. By R. W. DICKSON, M.D. Honorary Member of the Board of Agriculture. The leading feature by which this work is distinguished is a ml. nuteness of detail, which adapts it to the practical purposes of Agriculture. The whole scope of its contents has a constant and immediate connexion with the daily pursuits of the Farmer, the Implements of llusbandry he employs, the Modes of Agriculture lie adopts, and the System of Pasture avid Feeding he pi:rsuts. These multifarious topics are all arranged with simplicity and clearness; so that the work presents an ample, but distinct, display of every subject connected with the business of a Farm. It is illus. tested with upwards of one hundred Engravings, representing im. proved implements for farming, various breeds of cattle, sheep, &c. By means of close printing through a thousand pages, it contains a very valuable fund of information on every topic connected with agricultural affairs.

By BONINGTON MOI'BRAY. Esq. " Mr. Moubrey's little Book on the Breeding. Rearing, and Fattening all kinds of Domestic Poultry, wnd Pigs, is unques. tinnably the most Practical Work on the subject in our language. The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific derail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard—two or three pigs, with a breeei:•g sow, and a cow for cream, milk. butter, and cheese, in an English country house—appears indispensable ; and to point , fut how thew may he obtained at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Monhray's object. By adopting the plan of his Work, any family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets ; and the Farmer and Breeder may render it die source of considerable profir."—Farmer's Journal. •.* The Chapter on Brewing may be had separately, to com plete the former Editions, prim Is.

" In the compilation and arrangement of this work, the author has successfully attempted that practical combination of medical and surgical science, and their collateral branches, which hitherto has been dispersed in three separate and expensive works. In the New London Medical and Surgical Dictionary,' standard autho. rities arc quoted generally, and individually referred to. Much prac tical information in every department of medical science is ern. bodied : many new words, subjects, and things, are introduced, not to be found in any similar work extant ; and, being the latent publication of the kind, every advantage has been taken to given a decided preference in point of general professional utility and coo venience."—Hedical Journal.

LONDON, THURSDAY, M* 4, 1826. The result of the negotiations at St. Petersburgh is still uncertain. We learn from Odessa that General Y E it -2401.0W, who had been sent to quell the revolt among the tribes of Caucasus, has completely effected his pur pose, with a very trifling loss. The favourable accounts from Greece are confirmed by letters from Corfu, Zante, Trieste, Ancona, Leghorn, Florence, Venice, and Rome. Letters from Constantinople and Smyrna mention reports respect'.ig Commodore HA MILTON, similar to those mentioned in our extracts from the Male. Reports of fresh disturbances in Spain con tinue to be circulated in Paris.

Mr. Hamilton, it is said, has propcsed to the Cricks to form an assembly, composed of the members of the Provisional Govern. omens, of two Hydriines. two Spezziotes, two Missolonghiotes, and two Moreotes, to discuss the projects which he wes commissioned to lay before them from the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte. The Commodore brought the two Deputies from Hydra OR board his frigate to Napoli, and there, after the assembling of the Council, he asked of them an authentic act in writing, by which they should give the English Ambassador full powers to treat with the Porte about the interests of Greece. The answer of the Greek Deputies is not known. [From the Qmolidieunel FRANKFORT, APRIL 28. . _ (Private C,orrespondeace.) The Paris Journals pretend to know the result of Lord Wel lington's mission; it is probable nobody is acquainted with it, unless it be the English AI inistee in this city, who is very reserved. The Duke of Wellington and the Duke of Ragusa met a few days' journey from Frankfort. The Marshal, polite, like all the French, (these are the Noble Lord's words), ordered his carriage to stop, and alighted to do honour to his Grace, who, on his side, likewise alighted. and advanced to meet the Alarshal. The two adversaries of the A wiles had a pretty long conference, standing on the higii road. The Duke, on his arrival at Frankfort, spoke highly of the courtesy of the Marshal. At Alayence, the Prussian and Aus trian garrison stood five hours under arms, expecting the Noble Lewd ; but the latter, who was doubtless fatigued, did not notice this courtesy, but. buried in the corner of his chaise, left the drums beating, and continued his journey without stopping. The Q.ortidienac endeavours to shew the inconsistencies of the letters Irons Zante, &c., stating the victories of the Greeks, which, it says, all come from one source, viz. Trieste. The letters of the most recent date from Corfu of 9th April, mention neither the arrival of the Greek fleet, nor the mortal wound of Ibrahim. [From the Oracle of Brands.] If we may credit a private letter from Paris, 000 officers of the French army have tendered their resignations to the Minister of War since the lit of January this year—a fact which appears to have caused a considerable sensation.

Neither the Orservetkre Triestino, nor the Nuoro Oster rature riatrziano, make any mention down to the nth inst. of the late news from 111issolonghi. The follow ing is an extract from the former journal of the 18th : [From the Ors-rratore Triratino of the lflth April.) " Whilst various reports ate cite ulated, received as is pretended by a steam-boat coming from the port of Corfu, on its passage to Ancona, and which announce. with manifest exaggeration, that Ibrahim Pacha hal suffered reverses in his last engagements under the walls of Missoloophi, we learn, en the contrary, by authentic information which we have received from Corfu (fttli April) that the place is In imminent danger, and cannot be long befire it sur renders. On the other hand, it is true that an English ship of war, which arrived the same day at Corfu, and had conic from Malta, reports that she met at sea the G-,:ek fleet commanded by Maul's, and making sail towards Missolongtii. The news from the Mores becomes more and more deplorable. The most corn. pleteanarchr prevails there. Nobody wishes to obey, or to sub mit to a necessary or ler, while so many chiefs wish to command." Our readers are aware that the French Constitution gives the Sovereign the initiative power over all public measures, and that the only means by which the people or the Cham bers can bring any subject into discussion is by procuring petitions, on which the Chambers have a right to debate, and to order them to be sent for the consideration of the Ministers whose departments may be more immediately con nected with the matter in question. The right of petitioning is, therefore, by far the most important subject, in every point of view, which can be agitated in the French Cham ber of Deputies. It was discussed in the sitting of Satur day, the 29th April, in consequence of the presentation of 39 petitions, of which 32 referred to the right of primo geniture. The reporting committee objected to these, as being on a subject which was not before the Chamber, and proposed to send six others, which referred to the law of entails, to the committee on that law. M. CASTELBA3Ac maintained that such collective petitions were a dangerous, illegal, and unconstitutional method of influencing, or ra ther of usurping, power. The right of petition, when it abandoned the character of a private claim, seemed to say to the King, " Do not propose to us what does not vent to us to be good; do not use your initiative power ;" and to the Chambers," Do not deliberate upon the project which is presented to you in the name of the Crown ; reject it—we will not have it." Might not (he added) those who said to day, " we do not wish this," say to-morrow, " we do wish that ?" The Chamber of Peers, and the Monarch himself, might be d:stroyed in this way. What was said and written at the present day made him tremble for the consequences. What conclusion could be drawn from such a newspaper article as the following?—" If any power of the State showed itself disposed to favour these insolent pretensions, it would be the duty and the right of the citiz2ns to demand its dissolution." This must refer to the only power in the Constitution which could be dis solved. It had been said in the Chamber of Deputies that the right of petition was not a right, but a faculty exercised equally in all countries. He concluded by expressing his hope that the Chamber would reject these collective petitions, as it had done those in 1520. M. MEctits, complained that instead of advancing in their political education, they seemed to retrograde. The subject had been discussed for thirty years. The discus sion in 1791 was able and luminous, maintained by men of the greatest merit and consideration. From that epoch (observed the Deputy, amidst continual interruptions) we date the noblest victories of France in favour of liberty; to that period we owe the Charter."—" And the scaf fold of 93," exclaimed M. FORBIN D'IPSARTS." Si milar interruptions were frequently repeated. M. Me- CHIN proceeded to observe that a petition was, in li9l, defined to be " a demand respecting an object of general interest." Ile continued to eulogize the Revolutionists, and in particular CHAP E 1.1.1 Es and HAI:3IE7'Z ; he repelled the assertion that petitions infringed the royal initiative, insisted that those now under discussion were not to be considered collective, and concluded by voting that they should be referred to the Commission on the Law of Entails. M. ne ST. CHAMANS, who took such a part in the discussion of 'KO, repeated his former arguments against collective petitions. M. SEBASTIAN! spoke in favour of the petitions. The journals were accused, lie said, of provoking these petitions. Was it intended in this way to prelude a new attack on the liberty of the press? M. nE,GERES made some observations, and the House passed to the order of the day, which presented another petition of the same nature, from the law students of Paris. This was allowed not to be a collective petition, as the students formed a corporate body ; but some of the petitioners were objected to as not being of age. M. B. CoNsrsrcr contended that the Charter did not limit the right of petitioning, and argued that petitions should not be rejected on such grounds; but the Chamber again passed to the order of the day. Our accounts from the distressed districts continue to be of the most gratifying kind. All was tranquil at Man chester and the neighbouring townships, and we have seen a gentleman who left the former place at five o'clock on Tuesday evening, when he passed three troops of the Cheshire Yeomanry, returning home, their services being no farther necessary. In every point of view this fact is cheering, as it shows either that the disturbances had entirely subsided of themselves, and the people returned to a state of calmness and sound judgment, or that the prompt measures of Government, in drawing troops round the scenes of riot and devastation, had quelled the spirit of lawless violence and insubordination excited by the idle, the mis chievous, and the wicked. All the accounts which we have received confirm the statement made by Mr. PEEL at the City of London Tavern, on Tuesday, that even the great part of the manufacturers out of employment had I,orne their privations with infinite patience; and they add, that few or none of them had joined the rioters in the work of destruction ; but, on the contrary, that the mischief was begun, and most of it perpetrated, by a number of male factors let loose from the Assizes and various Quarter Sessions in the neighbourhood, who were joined by foolish women and idle boys. The Courier still goes on giving, in somewhat different language, the accounts of the riots which were so copiously detailed in our paper of Monday last. The Manchester Mercury of Tuesday says—" We have observed, with much regret, the grossly exaggerated man ner in which the disturbances in the manufacturing districts have been spoken of in some of the London and country papers. Amongst the most magnifying of the latter seems to be ow worthy contemporary of the Blackburn ,Ifail, who appears to have got up a fresh edition every few hours, down to Thursday night, for the purpose of setting afloat every idle rumour that he could hear of." The same paper says—" We understand that a large proportion of the power-loom factories, in this town and its itninediate neighbourhood, are already well provided with fire-arms and other formidable weapons of defence, furnished from the Government stores, at the request of the authorities here, who have strenuously urged the propriety of every owner of such establishments defending his property to the utmost. This recommendation has been accompanied with an assurance, that, in the mean time, every exertion shall be used to afford the earliest possible assistance of the civil and military power. Similar measures will it appears, be recommended from the highest military an . thority here, foradoption throughout the disturbed d;stricts." A private letter from Liverpool says—" A Meeting w as held on Tuesday, in the Town-hall, Liverpool, the Mayor in the Chair, to take into consideration the best mode of relief for the suffering weavers and manufacturers i n t h e counties of Lancaster and Chester. After the requisition was read, which was signed by a number of the moat re. spectable inhabitants, a series of resolutions were prop ose d from the Chair, and read by the Town Clerk. The Meet ing would have been unanimous in the adoption of the re. solutions, had not Mr. RUSHTON brought forward Name others, introducing the subject of the Corn Laws, & c ., but which, after a protracted discussion, were held to be inadmissible, as not at all appertaining to the object of the Meeting. A subscription was agreed upon." The alacrity with which the wealthier classes have corns forward in aid of the unemployed workmen in the manu. factoring districts deserves the highest priise. Every relief which individual humanity can give to their distress, will no doubt be extended to it; but any proposition to remora it by a vote of publie money, is a suggestion which Mini. eters act most wisely in not listening to. We are indeed surprised, in the present advanced state of political know. ledge, to find any Members seriously recommending such a measure. All that can be fairly expected from any Go. verommt is to fulfil, to the best of its means, the pnr. pose of its institution, which Is to preserve to all who live under it the practical enjoyment of their civil arid natural rights, and to secure to them the unmolested profits of their labour, industry, and ingenuity. This is the sphere of its duty, and beyond this sphere it can rarely venture with prudence or advantage. When distress, from want of food, spreads itself widely among the multitude, it is natural that in our embarrassments and distress we should cast our eyes on every side for relief; but we may rest assured that Government is not the power that we can-- either wisely or with effect—call upon to remove them. With great truth is it observed by BURK E, that "To provide for us in our necessities is not in the power of Government. It would be a vain presumption in Statesmen to think they can do it. The people maintain them, and not they the people." We would fain impress this truth earnestly on the minds of all at the present moment. In any great crisis of cals. mity, whether it occurs from the stagnation of trade, or a deficient harvest, or from any other cause, it is insane to expect that the Government can furnish money to the in digent, or deal out bread to the hungry. The immense suppliea required for such emergencies are utterly beyond its reach. If all perform their duty, much good may be effected in the way of benevolence ; but this Christian spirit must be as wide and as active as the sufferings which call For its exercise; and we trust it will be so; but as to cm:wet* the distress of a hungry population to disappear before the bounty of Government, it is idle in the extreme. It is to suppose that loaves so dispensed will multiply under some miraculous distribution. In a word, they 'either do not think at all, or they think to very little put. pose. who,—when our commerce is under a cloud,—would burden Ministers with the maintenance of the manufactu ring poor. Mr. ROBINSON would come to the bottom of the Exchequer very speedily, if ILei r wants were to be pen sioned upon it. No Budget of Way and Means that he could devise could bear up against it long. CITY, WEDNESDAY EYENINO. As the news from the manufacturing districts becomes more favourable—which we trust may be now fairly stated without ex. citing felse hopes—the attention of speculators is turned to the Corn Laws, and the measure that is pending in Parliament con. fleeted with them. As the further consideration of the question le postponed until to-morrow, Jobbers to-day were at • loss to know what course to pursue, and that circumstance prevented Buttes. tian ; Consols being almost all the morning at 77C. Buyer were afterwards found at f, and the closing quotation was 77i1. Is other English Securities, there vim little variation. The New Scrip was IA discount. The South American Securities were held lighter to-day, and were in some demand ; Colombian Bonds, 41. 404 ; Mexican Six per Cents. 611.2: Peruvian Bonds, 29 to 4 ; Russian Bonds wen 76 ; Old Spanish ditto, 71 ; and Greek, 141. The Colonial Market was in a very inactive state, and the Coto Exchange was almost without business, Dealers not knowing bow to act in consequence of the proposed alterations regarding Corn. The Illarket in Mark-lane was ctoaded to-day, but little or no business was reported up to a late hour. Towards the close of the market, several holders, alarmed at the depreciation which tome factors look for, offered wheat fat a reduction of 21. to 3a. per qr., and oats at nearly a similar decline, but it is to be observed then were few or no sellers that would accept of lower prices; we cannot, therefore, state any general reduction in our Corn market. The quantity of corn in granary in London is estimated at 140,000 qn. In the foreign grain there were no sales whatever, as the holden were asking a great advance on the former nominal prices. The following is an extract of a letter, dates! Feb. 7, 1826, from one of the Scots emigrants to Cdombia:— " The Planet arrived off La Guayra on the Std December, and next day I set out with forty of our settlers for Topa, a place about 12 miles distant ; and after a most fatiguing journey of nearly seven hours, over one of the worst roads I ever tsar, we arrived at our destination, where, unfortu nately, owing to some neglect at home, our habitations were not completed. We have, however, all got accom modated, as well as the second and third divisions of our crew. Topo is about 2,500 feet above the level of the in. The climate is delightful and the soil productive. In the course of a short time we shall have coffee, cotton, and indigo. Indian corn is already plenty, but we are far from a market." The I.i , erinnl ter perceive, has discovered that the present distrt ssed condition of the cotton manufac turers and their hands, is owing to the former having " combined to brat down the price of cotton in the Liver pool market." That Tenterden steeple was the cause of Goodwin Sands, is a completely logical inference com pared with this.—Licerpool Mercury. The Mancliestt r Mercury says—" In this town there is not, so far as we have been able to ascertain, any exception to the opinion that the disturbances which occurred from Thursday n;ght to Saturday afternoon were almost ex clusively the work of thieves. It may be true. that at the meeting which took place in St. George's Fields oa Thursday evening, some one or two speakers pointed out power-looms as the cause of the extreme lowness of their wages ; and we have no reason to doubt that there are in this town a number of weavers who pod ciliate in this opinion. But those by whom the outrages of Thursday evening were committed, did not, so far as can he ascertained, consist, in any degree, of such per. sons. Tiicy were not a mob; it would be almost an allure of turns to call them so—;Ley were a perfect rubble, cos' *fisting chiefly of mischievous boys, egged on by filisves , who were anxious to make a bustle that they might profit by it in their vocation. And they succeeded: so long S 6 people went up to the New Cross in crowds, their were hustled and robbed. (ht Sunday and yesterday there iv" no congregation thither ; and that part of the Sown, con"' quently, has been perfectly tranquil—as tranquil as every other part."
