mart Of Europe, and yet late author IS Of O.
ninion. that their tillage land in general does
not produce more than one third OF what IL IS
capable They are not subject either 70 the
excessive heavy rains, or hot dry weatner
that we are; absolutely requiring with US,
= greater depth Of cultivation TO counteract the
bad effects of the climate on the soil and yet
their ploughing is deeper than ours; and the
probability with me is, that this remains to be
one material point in which they nave yet to
simorove. am told that about London and
other places where land is very dear, their
gardeners find their account in once at least,
stirring their ground from two and a half to
three eet deep.
| shall conclude these remarks, with OBJ
serving, that although think deep culture a
matter Of the first importance In TINS Climate,
vet there are ottSr subjects which ought to
engage our attention more closely than the
appearance of our country indicates they have
hitherto done Among these are an economl-
cal choice and consumption OF crops, tor the
support and fattening OF live stock, and me
thods for the saving of timber With respect
to the first, it is certain, that one half the la
bour, generally appropriated to the purpose,
is amply sufficient; or what is the same thing,
the same ground and labour may be made to
support and fatten double the number. 1t Is
also demonstrate, that half the quantity Of
woodland generally thought necessary for fuel
fences, &c will, with proper management, be
sufficient; this will also be saving of labour
in nearly the same proportion. But as have
already exceeded the limits at first contemplat
ed, and very probably have written more than
some who have the most need will be willing
to peruse, shall at present spare myself the

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

The editors of the New-York Gazette
have received by the ship Orbit, Captain
Bool, London and Liverpool papers to the
goth of August, inclusive, and have ex.
tracted such articles as are worthy of notice.
No event of moment however had occur
red, since the date of our former advices
The king was still alive and apparently no
worse than he had been for the two preoed-
ing weeks-Sir Joseph Yorke, with his
squadron, had returned to Portsmouth.
The ship Mentor, Capt. Bernard, arrived
at Liverpool on the 3oth of August, in 23
days from New-York. This vesselt took out
the Presidents Proclamation calling Con
gress but as we have no prints subsequent
TO her arrival, we can form no idea of the
impression which the great and weighty"
ntlmation oil the President made in Eng
land.
Amongst the passengers in the Orbit is
an intelligent gentlemen, who has been
travelling tor two years on the continent.

TIE COMET

The COMET
Now apparent has excited a good d.,
curiosity aud vast many wise Con-. q
lures. Some suppose it a prognos,;c -
War, others that it causes he n,...
warm weather, &c. &c. Hsppi,v ~
ever, 1t has not produced as great an a
larm as one which appeared about cen
fury ago did among the populace of Lon.
don, some account of which we renuh
lish from London paper.
In the year 1912. Mr.. Winston ha,;,.
calculated the return of Comet, vh;rS
was TO make its appearance on Weduesa.,.
the 14th of October, at minutes past $ u
the morning, gave notice to the public ar
cordingly, with this terrifying addition
that total dissolution of the world by fire.
was to take place on the Friday followino
The reputation Mr.. Winston had lo,s
maintained in England, both as diy;os
and philosopher, left little or no doub,
with the populace of the truth Of his predic.
ton. Several ludicrous events now tool
place. A number of persons in and abo,.
London seized all the barges and hoats
they could lay hands on in the Thames. We.
~ nationally concluding, that when the con.
h3gration took place, there would be the
most safety on the water. A gentleman
who had neglected family prayer for bette,
than FIVE years, informed his wife, that il
was his determination to resume that lauda.
bic practice the same evening; but his wife
having engaged ball at her house, persua.
ded her husband to put it off till they saw
whether the Comet appeared or not. The
South Sea stock imme diately fell TO FIVE per
cent, and the India to 1 and the captain
OF Dutch ship threw all his powder into
the river, that the ship might not be
endangered.
The next morning, however, the Comet
appeared according to the prediction, and
the belief was universal, that the day ef
Judgement was at hand. About this time
1913 clergYmen were ferried over to Lam.
beth, It was said, to petition that short
prayer might be penned and ordered, there
being none In the church service on the oc-
casion. Three maids of honour burnt
their collections of novels and plays, and
sent to booksellers to buy each of them
Bible, and Bishop Tayloi's HOLY Living
aud Dying. The runnpon the Bank was
soiprodiglous, that all hands were employ.
ed from morning till night in discountins
notes, and handing out specie. On Thurs.
day, considerably more than 1000 kept
mstresses were legally married in the face
OF several congregations. And to crown
the whole farce, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Is
sued orders to all the fire officers in Lon.
don, requiring them ''to keep good look
out, and have particular eye upon the
Bank of England"

under the orders of Admiral Sir c. Cotton,
who will hoist his hsg on board the Malta

wants rigging to complete her for service.
The crew of the San Josef are to be turned
over to her.
Another large fleet by which strong rein.

The following is translation Of letter
from Paris; the intelligence contained in
which, if it be true, possesses considerable
interest:-
If il be interesting to you, my friend, I
must inform YOU, that the business of our
concave has taken very favorable turn,
that 1t ia said the holy Pope will come here
to swear allegiance to his sovereign; thar
the sffairs in Spain are III very good train.
Marshal Macdonald informs me, thar he
expects to be 10 possession of Flgueras by
the latter end Of this month. There is per
haps, cloud rising from the north, but
which will soon be disspated by the thunder
of our cannon"
We shall only observe upon the above,
that if the Pope does really swear allegiance
to Bonaparte, (Which we must yet, however,
venture to doubt) tits impossible to conceive
how the Roman Catholics of countries at
war with France can, consistently with the
duty they owe their own sovereigns, pay a
ny respect to his holiness.
From other letters we learn, that three
priests have been sent to prison (their rank
or station in the Church is not mentioned
