The FARMING PART (under the Editorship. of a Practical Farmer) treats. of— The Practice of Agriculture. Results of Experimental, Farming. Foresting. Agricultural Science. Growth and Rotation a Crops. Road-making. Animal. and Vegetable Physiology. Management at Stock.. Farm-buildings.. Improvements in Implements,described Veterinary Science. Labourers. ' by. Woodcuts whenever requisite . Drainage.

Reports are regularly given of the English., Scotch, and Irish Agricultural Societies and Farmers' Clubs, London Market Prices of Corn, Hay, Cattle, Seeds, Hops, Potatoes, A 001, Coal, Timber,,Bark, 8. - c. and the Weekly Averages. An Edition is also published Every.Motday in time for post,,containiagAhe Mark-lane and Cattle-Markets. As regards the GARDENING PART (muter the Editorship of Dr. Lindley), the principle is to make it a Weekly Record of every thing that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricultnreor 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 cf GARDENING OPERATIONS, given in detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life; so that the Cottager, with:a few roods 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 necessary. It moreover contains Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings—Notices of Novelties and Improvements—in fact, everything that can tend to advance the Profession, benefit the condition of the Workman, or, conduce to the pleasure of his Employer. Woodcuts are given whenever 1 thotnatter treated of }:equires.that mode of Illustration, _ REPLIES TO QUE S TIDNS connected with the object of the Paper are also furnished weekly. Lastly, that description 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 GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETfE a full and OM. prehensive Record of Facts only —a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving . the reader to form his own opinions;, their object bei n g the elucidation of the laws of Nature, not of Man. The reader is thus furnished, in addition to the peculiar features of the Journal, with such information concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the necessity of his providing himself With any other Weekly Paper. A Prospectus, with List of Contributors, may be had on application; or by letter, at the Office, 5, Upper Wellington-street, Covent-Garden, London. From Returnaissued by the Government, it appears that the average weekly number of Stamps supplied to the GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND.

In order the more effectually to show ai itn o j would invite onr readers, to compare this 'clause p as , law as laid down by Sergeant Marshall in th e me 03 ,105, already quoted from. that learned authority. „.„,",,a - Way putable clause says—' Every policy issued by the Con,' Of be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of shall be conclusive evidence of the validity of the Sergeant Marshall, speaking of the clause ordinarily' or. policies, says, "It is quite immaterial for what antrF a e r ' t ed „ what view it Lit warrant] is wade ; but being once innnd e a oe policy, it becomes a binding condition on the assure' , '000d; he can show that it has been complied with, he st able eat benefit from the policy." In other word s , indispa.: a arPA when once. issued, declares that, delude?, all precede!' ay ra w, are held to have been finally settled, whereas an ord a i n :po. B )llu declares on the face of it that the Directors retain tm v - e AC a !pili, r keep all these questions open to dispute, until they 0, 8 . 01„, paid the amount of the policy to the executors. Ag s 'intr e g",4 putable clause says, "It shall not be lawful for the C f t delay payment of the money assured, on the ground oall,at, mistake, or omission, however important, made by . 0 1, of the person or persons effecting such insu r a n ce." of ,Val Marshall, on the other hand, says, "'The very meaMof t oti;toP, ranty is to preclude all question whether it has been, s s . j ' a s complied with or not. Whether the thing warranteu,'' a ensve or not, whether the breach of it proceeded frown train. , is tlwaaV r o mit-information, or any other cause, the consequene e 4 sp .o a —i.e, the policy is void." In the next place, the ',or, r , clause says that, "on the contrary, the amount so s - a ,ca r ,r e e „ be paid at the time stipulated by the policy, as if 0° ,.; 3 1 mistake, or omission, had been made or discovered• tr act.4l , o geant Marshall says, "The warranty makes the 0 11 0 cO.frpt# thetical ; tliat is, it shall be binding if th e war rant 1 t o‘ell s, r, with.

Can anything be more conclusive than thlaaaPieri the superiority of the Indisputable Policy? The ~oliqarai, Policy settles all precedent questions—ad ordinary by 1 1 07 . ,b them all unsettled.
