AGttTCULTURE, The following are extracts of Fetters that were sent to the Agricultural Society at Philadelphia. " Could we discover a method, not bnly to raise calves, but to Make good veal for the butcher without the use of new milk, it might induce our farmers to keep, their calves five or six weeks, at Which age the meat 'would be much better, and the skins much more valuable, particularly for boot legs, than when killed young. • "In order to make some discovery on this ,cub ject, I lately made the following experiment :—I had two calves nearly of the same' age and condi tion ' • the.one, 'from a fine young cow, was eon fined in a clean, airy stable, . and. had the cow turned in to him three times a day; from an ad, • joining field of good clover. The other, -at three. day s old, ~was taken from .the cow and confined in a jarkstable, well littered with clean straw; every two days, for the first week, he had as much •new • tu4lk as he could drink, three times a day, when it was changed to skimmed milk, having two or Three handfuls of fine Indian meal stirred into it. After suffering him to drink plentifully of this mix ture, he was every morning and evening crammed With bolusses, of the size of an hen's egg. One Week before the calf was killed the oil was omit ted, 'as it is reported to give the flesh of animals, fed.on linseed cake, a disagreeable taste. " The result of the experiment was, that the veal fed with the oil was one pound and a quarter `heavier than the other, and was rather superior to it in every other respect, not having the taste of the oil, of which I was apprehensive. At the same time that the oil is very nourishing, it tendS to keep the 'body open, 'which is of great advan- tare in the foteniag of animals. I have experi— e',Ped a very great advantage in the use of a small triantity of oil, in bringing stall4ed oxen rapiily to a condition fit for the knife." A most excellent method for preventing butter fro m becoming rank : The day before churning scald the cream in ! clean iron kettle, over a clear fire, taking care 11,a( it does not boil over. As soon as it begins to boil, or is fully, scalded, strain it, when the PlTticl't's of milk which tended to sour and change the butter, 'are separated and left behind. Put the vessel. into which it was strained into a tub of Water, in-a cellar, till next morning, when it will °e ready for churning, and become butter in lesi than a quarter of the time required in the com lhon method. will also become hard, with a Peculiar additional sweetness ; and w ill not cha nge , The labour in .this way .is less than the other, as the butter comes sooner, and saves much la. mour in working, out', the butter=rnilk. By this 1 4ethod good 'butter may . be, made in the hottest Ireather." ECONOMY IN BREA6: 7 -The . Rev, F.

Lord Kin it • . inalnediately uncovered INQUEST. An Inquest Was held yesterday by A. GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, at the King's 1ic;..1 public-house, in St. James's-street, o n th e b o dy o f William Bryent,. a - porter who used to attend at the White Horse Cellar; Piccadilly. Theinquest was summoned hi consequence of a report that the deceased came to his death by some blows which he received on Friday last, at the Coach and Horses public-house, in Dover-street, in a quarrel with John Sheregold, the waiter. at that house, in consequence of whiCh the waiter was committed until the Coroner's inquest. The first witness was Joseph Naylor, who stated, that he lived in George-street, Chelsea, and was a stage coachman. Witness said, on Friday last, between ten and eleven o'clock in the forenoon, he was sittting at the Coach and Horses public house, in Dover-street; J. Sheregnld was at the time cleaning the inside of the window. The de ceased was sitting on a bench near the wiiidow, with his head on the table, as if asleep; he was told. by the waiter,"if you want to sleep; go to lousybay;" meaning the dark part of the-room. Several words ensued between them; the waiter said,' if you give me any more of that - language I Will kick you ; deceased answered, I am as good a man as you. Sheregold, the waiter, said, if. you will not take the law we will try it. The deceased got up and put" himself in a. menacing attitude--4he waiter beat down his guard, and struck him two blows right and left. The deceased sat down on the same seat as before, and Sheregold finished clean ing nis windows. During the time he anitthe deceased conversed apparently in a friendly:man ner, ,the latter observing, " John, I did not think you would have struck me so hard." 'Witnes:i said the deceased was in a :muddled way ; he saw , no more of the transaction. Mr. Robert Heynes, apothecary,• residing in Arlington-street; said, on Monday morning, the 31st of August, he was sent for at I I o'cloak, to visit the deceased, at his house, No. 4, in Crown-sceptre -court, St. James's. He found him in a very high fever, attended with deli rium ; both his eyes, were black. He inquired the cause, and was told that it was in consequence of a quarrel. 'Witness was informed, that the de-. ceased was delirious on Saturday and Sunday. From the state a the deceased's pulse and. mind, he pronounced hiM in a dangerous state. It was his opinion, that there was an in flammation on the brain. In the evening of the same day the complaint increased. At two o'clock in the morning be found his patient dying.—ln his opinio.n the fever was brought on by the blows and intemperate living. Mr. George Fincher, Surgeon, of No. 16, St, Alban's-street, Pall-mall, was called 'at twelve o'clock yesterday, to examine the body of the de ceased.—lhis was - thirty hours aft2r his death. He said, / that the external mark was not near the eyes. There was no appearance, on raising the scalp, to. indicate that a blow had been re. ceived •in the part before specified. There was no water, or other effusion, _on the surface of the brain ; the covering of , the 'brain Was generally inflamed, without. any particular spot ; there was some addition to the covering of the brain, more than is common, arising from inflanitnation, which might have been in consequence of the deceased drinking profusely of spirituousliquors. The Wows would not have been sufficient to cause death in a person of regular habit.= There x , -as no appearance that the blows received were the existing cause of symptoms producing death, and not the immediate cause, John Perkins, residing in the Old Bailey, and driver to Mr. Tookes, and another man of the name of Johnson, corroborated the first 'Witness (Naylor's) evidence ;, adding, that John Sheregold was a very peaceable man, and always friendly to the deceased, who was of a very quarrelsome temper. The .Thry returned a verdict—That the deceased died a natural death from intemperate drinking, and not from blows received. The Inquest lasted three hours. On Monday evening a horse harnessed in . an empty cart, whilst standing before the door of the, King's Head public house, in - Broad-street, Ply mouth, took fright; and ran from thence up Lit tle Church-lane, when it came in contact with a brewer's dray and the wall, and was immediately secured by some • persons who were *near the af frighted animal ; but, we' are sorry to state, pre viously a dreadful accident happened to the driver, named Ellicott, who, in attempting to stop it, was thrown down, when the wheels passing over him, fractured his skull, broke - his leg, and otherwise so much bruised the unfortunate man, that his life is despaired of. On Tuesday morning Mr. GrOves, port gauger of the Excise Revenue, at Plythouth, was found_ dead in his bed, at his. lodgings in that town, whither he retired in perfect health at nn early hour the preceding night, and, it is supposed; from . the appearance of the body that he expired soon afterwards. He was, in the primeof life, and from his general gOod conduct as an officer, much re spected by all who knew him. A few days since a labmiring man was com mitted to the gaol of Haddington, charged with vending forged notes. He was detected in the act . of giving some of them in exchange for a watch he bad bought from a private in the East York Militia, who, she Wing the notes to a:ser jeant, he .at once discovered the fraud, and' in formed the Commanding Officer, who ordered them . to take him instantly before a Justice of the Peace.. It is said he' has confessed, and informed against one of the AberdeenshireMilitia, of whom, he says, he bought the notes. They are very ill executed. A few nights since some villains cut the pipes • from the engine - which supplies the keservoirs of the Grand Hotel, in Covent-garden,. with which they got clear off. , On Monday last a fire broke out about nine o'clock, at the Sun, in Cambridge, which threat ened the destruction ,of that respectable inn and .premises. ' It arose from the candle of a I:Ay's maid of a family setting tire to the c►u•tains of her room, which was not got under until the chief part of the bed and other furniture of the room was destroyed. • • .o.t - ttty, IdETgmPSCYdHbSIS. tile Sage of Sitnoi held this creed', If rightly we his doctrine read— The spirit never dies ; lint when expell'd one mass' of clay, Strait to another takes its way, And tilts through Nature flies. And pence, perchance, A.ACREON's soul Through many a diff 'rent shape might roll; Extinct his tnneful strain; At length, with ail his wonted fire, For BRITAIN he might strike the lyre In human form again.

The Naval Songs of this Author, will live as long as the British Navy; which we trust will be commensurate With the existence. of " the Great Globe itself.'-'• They have given a character of htMionr,. spirit, and 'feeling, to .our brave - Tars, which b&s. lenfierecl them interesting as well as rcpectable,. and having ,the 'recommendation - of his own .pleasipg music, those Songs will always beOoriolar among them. • No writer was ever so justly intitled to this designation; and here it, may be proper to extract a passage relative to him, which appears in the last ()gorier!/ Roden:, a terized by such taste, j udgment, and learning, t is valuable indeed. Speaking of the influence •of Poet: y, through the media& of music, iu ancient GreeCe,. the Re ' viewer says, " Even the wild descants of the rude Minstrels • of later times, have, in all forms, and most. especially when accompanied by music, affected; in a in irked and . permunent manner, the characters of Courts and even'of•Camps. 'We cannot but believe, therefore, that .similar effects would have been•produced by Poetry upon our own commonalty, if they had enjoyed similar advantages. Certainly, in the only case in which the yxperiment has been tried, we mean among our Sailors, the result haSheen.Tivtally bene f icial; and we should be wanting in 'justice if we did n , )t, add, highly creditable to the talentr, and feelings of the venerable bard, who so pa . triotically devoted his genius to their service." It may be . added, in corroboratimr of this liberal tribute to Mr. Dibdin, that it has been said.thztt his songs hate done more to Man the Navy that/ a thouvuld press-gangs, mid the is, per-. haps, not hyperbolical ; but his songs ha ve als o t en d e d to excite a spirit of loyalty and patriotism in our sbidiezA . whose valour he has 'often celebrated.' § Mr. Dibdin has reached his sixty-ninth year, and is dis abled. front all active • e:,:eetion by severe infirmity.

The. prisoner, in his de /fence, said,- that his master had taken a carriage load of luggage front Sir William - Cotterell's lodg ing, in Duke -street, St. James's ; that by some means this parcel had been forgotten ; and that by his master's directions, he was. taking it to 'a friend of his, in order that it Might he taken care . of until the owner could be found. The landlady of the house in Duke-street attended, and said, she knew the case belonged to Sir William, and knew it had been put into the coach, with other articles, but-could not otherwise account for its being in the possession of the prisoner. The LORD MAYOR wes of opinion,.that the pri soner had- just been caught in time ; but as there was 110 positive proof of felonious intention, -be directed that he should be discharged.— 'The dressing-case will remain' in the hands of the officer, until means are found for conveying it to the owner. A fine boy, about ten years of age, was brought up by one of the City Officers, who had found bins wandering about the streets the tidy before, making inquiries for the Red Lion, to which house he was directed - to find his parents i who,', he was told; loilged,there. Where the house was situated, or in what part of Lcndbn, or its su burhs, he could not tell ; all he could say was,: that he had been, passed up by the parish-officer:' of Hollywell, in North Wales, to look for "his pa rents, at the Red Lion, in London ; and after having walked all the way, be WRS as much at a loss to find them as when he first left Wales. — The Lord Mayor, said, the conduct of the parish officers of-Hollywell was highly reprehensible ; and on thc child refusing to go to the Marine So ciety, he directed that he should be properly clothed, being nearly ,naked, .and sent back to Wales. Richard, Richards was yesterday charged with stealing a gold seal, and key from the person of William Angel, on the preceding day, in Smith field., .'The complainant stated, that as he was standing, with others, in Smithfield, observing some waggons of wild beasts, which were unload-, in order to be exhibited. in BaitholOrn'tW Fair, he felt something touch Haim , and on - looking- down, he observed:the prisoner cut his Watch ribbOn ; to which,was attached a gold seal. and key, with * pair of scissars. iTe instantly collared him, when he threw away the scissars, and strenuously /pro fessed his innocence. Several persons, however; •having observed his Conduct, as As the com plainant, he was given into the cdstody of an of ficer ; and on .his way to the Compter,- he was seen to throw away.a paper sheath, which exactly fitted the scissars that he had been using.—He was fully committed for trial.

The prisoner was waiter Ht the. -house, and was at the same time cleaning the win; lows. The dec'eased's position' interrupted the prisoner's proceeding with cleaning the windows, and the prisoner, asked him to move away froui that place ; which the deceased not complying , with- immediately, a dispute arose between them, and the consequence was, the prisoner struck the deceised several times on his head and face, and knocked him down t'cice in the house. John Saunders, a helper at the Three King's yard Stables Piccadilly, said, he was at the pub:;ce house in Devf.r-street at the time the dispute arose between zits prisoner and the deeeased, and - saw the deceased leave the house without giving the prisoner any blows. " • Franklin, the landlord of •the RiSing Sun publiehouse, in Charles-street, , Long-acre, said, the deceased was a helper and porter at the 'Gloucester Coffe&-houSe, in Piccadilly', and he had • known him for 'some time.., .On Sunday he. came tolls house with his head tied up with a large handkerchief, and it aPpeared'tO hafe been . iierj. much injured. Both his' eyes were very black and much bruised: He talked a groat deal, and veey fast, but in such 'an incoherent manner as causede: him to suspect he was• out ol'his mind. In a short . time after this, he was extremely ill,,and died in a wdy that was considered 'Sudden. A - doctor - WO sent for, who•after'examining hint; gave it; as his • opinion, that the deceased's death was occasioned by some violent blows which he had received'.

TriAaenoltouox-STREET.--Eight disorderly per sons }sere brought before . the Sitting • Magi. , strate; charged with having committed depreda tions in the fields of Mr. Harper, between Mary , le-bone and Kilburn. It appeared in evidence, that incalculable injury has been at intervals sus tained by the complainant, in conseTience of per sons plucking the hay Ticks to three:sh beds, &c. and for even worse purposes. Tll6 Magistrate expressed his determination:to make an example of some person, and he consequently committed one of them of the name of Colsort,•who had been before him on a former occasion for pre tending to have ruptured a blood vessel, and to . carry on the imposition more effectually, he bad vi d Jf blood in his possession. SUADWELL.---43ernarniti Clifford vas yesterday brought up ,for exanai nation, charged with the wilful murder of Patrick Doyle., It appeared by the evidence of Wood, the head borough or constable at Poplar, that in going. hiss rounds in the neighbourhood on Wednesday, tlits 26th of AuguSt, at a quarter past ten at night, he fell in with the prisoner and deceased engaged in fighting. He thought proper only to separate therri; and they Waft away at that time. - The same evening he afterwards found that they had renewed the combat, when he made up to them a second time, when Clifford, by running away, ef fected his escape. On approaching the spot sthere they had been engaged, , he discovered Doyle, the deceased, leaning against a paling ; he xv.s then almost exhausted with the loss of blood, and he soon' after expired. Mr. the surgeon, who was called on to examine the body, deposed, that the deceased had one wound in his fate, near the eye, and another in his side, bet Ween two'of his - ribse a little below the left vertebre of the breast, the latter having Penetrated almost to the recesses ,of the heart, which, he had no, doubt, was the true cause by, which the deceased had came by' his death, and. that these wounds appeared to have beenintLetett by a sharp instrument somewhat larger .than a pen-knife.
