Foresting described by Woodcuts Road-making whenever requisite Farm-Buildings Better modes of Husbandry Labourers Results of Experimental Faim-ITreatment of Poultry ing 'Agricultural Publications.

Part, (under the Editorship of Dr. Lindley,) the principle is to , nuike ita weekly record of every thing that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboricul ture, or Garden Botany, and such Natural History as -has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all Works on such subjects. — Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GARDENING OPERATIONS given in detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life; so that the Cottager,,with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a Greenhouse, and the Manager of Extensive Gardens, are alike informed of the routine of Operations which the varying seasons render neces sary. It moreover contains Reports of Horticultural Exhibi lions and Proceedings—Notices of Novelties and Improve ments—in fact, everything that -can tend to advance the Pro fession, benefit the condition of the Workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his Employer; Woodcuts are given whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illustration. Replies to Questions connected-with the object of the Paper are also furnished weekly. Lastly, that descriptiCin of Domestic and Political News is introduced which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range themselves under the banners of any Party ; their earnest endeavours are -to make THE GAR DENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE a full and comprehensive Record of Facts only —a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the Reader to -form his own opinions their object being the elucidation of .the laws of Nature, not of Man. The Reader it thus furnished, in addition to the peculiar features of the Jourral, with such information concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the necessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly Paper.

THE PAPAL STATES The Osservatore Romano of the 15th instant, states that the French court-martial at Rome, under the presi dency of Colonel Delamarne, has just tried five persons, accused of having, on the 3rd of December, wounded several French soldiers, so as to disable them for 20 days. Two of the prisoners have been condeinned to a year's imprisonment; the others have oeen acquitted. A correspondent of the Bilancia of Milan writes, that some agents of Mazzini have lately been landed at Fiumi cino, near Rome, by an English yacht, and that their first act has been to spread a revolutionary pamphlet, entitled " Rome and the Roman States," The number of galley slaves now at Terracina is so considerable, says a letter from Rome, that the covern merit has opened an enrolment for men to increase the body appointed to guard them. The Nizam's Territory of Hyderabad, some hundred thousands of square miles in extent, and centaining some ten millions of inhabitants, is nearly the last portion of the vast Mogul viceroyalty, known as the Deccan, which has not been completely absorbed into the English terri tory in India, but will be in a short time--the sooner the better. His dominions are wretchedly governed ; and he owes the East India Company money which he cannot pay. Tits NEW FRENCH MINISTRY.—The Times of yes terday says :—The ministers selected by the French pre sidea, or, rather, the men who have consented to stand by tie executive power in this crisis, are so little known to fame that we can augur nothing from the list of them, except that a man must have great courage or greater weakness to have joined this forlorn hope. They are known, ho ovever, as honourable men, conversant with public business, in the rank of our own chairmen of reve nue boards or under-secretaries, though comparatively strange to political warfare. Under the circumstances through which France has passed in the last 3 years, it is with such men that the traditions of government rest, and the reason the machine is not stopped or upset is that it still works by the same unseen hands. For practical pur poses, therefore, these ministers are very likely not much inferior to many that have preceded them, although of course the existence of such feeble and ephemeral admi nistrations is a virtual surrender of all the great objects oP _ _ _ _ _ policy and legislation that such a nation as France might pu - rsue and-accomplish Her Majzsty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the youthful Royal family, are expected to arrive at Mucking ham Palace on Monday next, to remain until after the meeting of parliament. Mr. David Bell, a retired Glasgow manufacturer and merchant. and formerly a member of the town council of that city, has announced himself a candidate for the re presentation of the Falkirk district of burghs. He states that he has always been a consistent supporter of parlia- mentary reform, public economy, ANECDOTE OF GEORGE STP.Pf Stowell, of 'Cliesbunt, late of Rotherhar d reduced taxation.

There was one dandy fellow, a very tine gentleman, called upon him and said he wanted to consult him in a matter of some importance. "Well," said Mr. Stephenson, " what is it about -?" " Well, I understand from Lord'So-and.so, I am to have the honour of a pre sentation to his majesty the king of the Belgians." " Very well," said-George,—;"And, Mr. Stephenson," continued the dandy, " Ilcnow you are a gentleman of very extensive experience, and I wish to consult you. What do you think is the most appropriate colour for gloves ?" " I tell you what;" said - George, "my mother gave me tt pair of gloves when was born ; and Hell you, moister, I donna mean to put any gloves on, and if the king of the Bel gians won't have George Stephenson with the gloves his mother gave him, clean washed, then good morning to the king of the Belgians." AFFRCTION AND CONFIDENCE. at? SINGING BIRDS.— possess the most singular attractions, exhibit the most romantic attachment. Not a movement of their master or mistress escapes their observation. They may be taught, easily tauzht, by affectionate care, to come out of the cage when called for, or to sit on the finger and sing when requested. A single movement of the bead, or expression of the eye, will accomplish this; whilst the reward -of -a bit of hard-boiled egg, or a morsel of loaf- sugar, will speedily cement an intimacy terminable only by death:: the attachment of birth •knows no other limit. I have verified this, times out of number. I have rarely found, during along experience of twenty-five years, any great,difficultvint on m aminga bird, or, o or, c i o n a d s e ioa ed a , an animal closely imalof any kind. Instinct, bordering on reason, unerringly teaches the lower order o r a w o h r who are dinar} , .familiarity, apart from all fear, which some birds i t :e a t n h i e n i their lesnteomdi discriminate Phis e i s w d h e o m 9 o r demonstrable s t t h r r l e friends,b y the and other animals exhibit when in the presence of their masters and mistresses, on whose 'finger I have known birds 'to sit and sing with the most perfect confidence. — William Kidd, in the Gardener' NATIONAL ADVANTAGES Of ItENCY. — The greatest and most momentous contest_ which have taken place among nations, have been in a great degree determined by the discovery or use, by one of the belligerents, of an expansive currency, to which the other was for a time a stranger. The most memorable strife in antiquity, that between Rome and Carthage, on which depended whether Europe or. Africa was to become the mistress of the civilised world, was in reality deter mined by a great extension of the circulating medium during the second Punic war; and that dreadful contest was less brought to a successful issue by the firmness of the senate or the arms of Scipio, than by the wisdom an decree which virtually, at the crisis of its fate, doubled the currency of the Roman republic. The Transatlantic revolution was brought to a successful issue the same way; and the independence of the United States is less to be ascribed to the imbecility of British counsels, or the wis dom of American generalship, than to the establishment of a paper currency, which sustained the efforts of the in sureent states when they had no other resources where with to maintain the contest. It was the assignats, as all the world knows, that set on foot those prodigious armies which, amidst the destruction of all private fortunes, enabled France, during the Reign of Terror, to repel the assault of all the European powers ; and the coalition which at last overturned the empire of Napoleon was sustained by a vast system of paper currency, issued in 1813 in Germany, which, guaranteed by the four Allied powers, passed as gold from the Atlantic Ocean to the wall of China, and arrayed the armies of Eu ro p e i n d ense and disciplined battalions on the banks of the Rhine. Of what incalculable importance it was may be judged of by the dreadful straits to which Wellington, for five previous year, had been reduced by its want. Great Britain emerged victorious from the strife, chiefly from the powerful influence of the same omnipotent ag, nt. Vain would have been the constancy of Pitt, the genius of Nelson, or the wisdom of Wellington, if the paper currency, established in 1797, had not given her people the sinews of war, and the means of illimitable industry, when the Continent was shut to her commerce, and the whole precious metals were drained away by the necessi ties of Continental warfare. Nor have the effects of the opposite system, pursued since the peace, been less stri king and momentous ; for the contraction of British cur rency to one-half of its former dimensions, by the bills of 1819 and 1844, has brought about the dreadful panics of 1825, 1837. and 1847, induced by the decline of prices and the sufferings it occasioned. The English revolution of 1832 transferred power in the British islands exclu sively to the inhabitants of towns, and spread such mi sery through the rural population, that three hundri , d thousand emigrants now annually leave the British islands for Transatlantic or Australian shores.—Blackwood. AN EXPANSIVE CUR- NAPOLEON'S STYLE AND DlCTlON. — Napoleon, when consul and emperor, seldom wrote, but he dictated much. It was difficult to follow him, and he often objected to any revision of what he had dictated. When a word bad es caped his amanuensis, and he was asked what it was, " Je ne rep&erai pas le mot. Reflechissez, rappelez-vouz du mot que j at dicte, et ecrivez-le, car pour moi je ne le repeterai pas." Talleyrand, -interested possibly in dis crediting any posthumous writings, was very earnest soon after the news of his death arrived in inculcating on me and others the persuasion that Napoleon never did and never could dictate. "Il disait, it ne dictait pas; on ne pouvait &rim sous sa dictde. Il ne savait ni dieter ni eerire." But excepting Talleyrand and Charles IV. of Spain, I never heard any man express a doubt of his powers of composition, or his habits of dictating. It was, indeed, difficult to follow, and vet mope di ffi cult to satisfy him in the discharge of that. office; but M. Big non and others inured themselves to his manner. In matters of importance he would look over and correct what had been written from his dictation, and would after wards repeat word for word the. sentences be had com posed and revised. His style was clear. " Soyez clair, tout le reste viendra," was a maxim of his: In matters of business he very justly ridiculed and defied that absurd canon of French criticism which forbids the recurrence of a word twice in the same sentence or even page. He had several volumes of his correspondence copied out and bound in folio. There:is some mystery attending the fate of those books. From them, however, the " lettres inedites" were published. M. de Talleyrand pretends that his copies sometimes varied, and that pur posely, from the originals, for according to him Nagoleon would not scruple, even in transcribing treaties, to sub stitute one word for another. The notes on the life of the Duke of Marlborough, which was printed at his expense, and by his desire, were, it is said, composed by him, and paragraphs of his writing. were occasionally in the newspaper. He wrote and printed when a young man, at Avignon, in 3 793 or 1794, a small political pam phlet, called " Dejeuner de trois Militaires," and I have already mentioned that he sent a manuscript history of Corsica, written before that period, to Able Raynal. But whatever were his own writings, his criticism on the works of others was generally just, and always striking and acute. Le Mercier read him a play on the subject of Peter the Cruel.. At. the moment of his fall, that dis comfited tyrant was made to say something like this : "De tout mon caste empire, it me reate un rocker." Napoleon observed, "It will never do. You mean to rouse us to indignation against the man, •and you put in his mouth a pathetic remark on the contrast between his former elevation and present ruin that cannot fail to excite the compassion of every well-regulated: mind." The remark was subtle, and, considering s u b sequen t even t s , curious and singular. It is possible, however, that this latter circumstance produced it, for the relater, though a worthy man, was a dratr atic author. In .reading, Napo leon leaned to scepticism and p 3 radox.; for' instance, he ridicUled as improbal le the rory of war's escape is the boat, and his speech to the boatmen,? rigid was much inclined to disparage the talents, and - more particularly the military skill of that eittraordinbry - man,"-Lora 11olleid's Poreiril /Wri;nteceiteeB. •• ".
