FROM THE ST. LOUIS ENQUIRER.

We are informed that William c.
Carr has lately brought to his farm adj
joining St. Louis, some of the best Eng
iish blooded cattle that could be obtain
ed in Kentucky. The farmers of Mis-
souri, and lovers of fine cattle in general,
have now an opportunity of supplying
themselves with few head of this ne
cessary and most valuable race of do
mestic animals. When in Kentucky
this last summer Mr.. Carr being much
delighted with the astonishing degree to
which the breed OF cattle had been i'm
proved there, by many ofthe most spirit
ed and enlightened farmers, resolved not
only to supply himself with some of this
description of live stock, but also to
bring on few to sell. We are assured
their blood is equal to any in Kentucky,
and some of them perhaps as good as
could be obtained even in England
their sire and dams being imported di-
rectly from there. They are now to be
seen at Mr.. Carr's where every person
DESTROYS of examining them is invited TO
call and Judge for themselves.
While, therefore, we have no hesita-
ton in saying that this attempt to intro
dnce the improved breed of cattle in
Missouri, ought to be encouraged and
supported by every friend of agriculture,
we would also beg leave to call the at
tention Of that class of people to another
subject, intimately connected with the
best interests of the state, we allude to
the institution of agricultural societies,
associations of this nature have been
deemed worthy the attention and patron
age of the most distinguished men in
America-their utility must we think be
manifest to every one. They are now
fourishing in most ofthe states, and con-
sidercd by every rejecting mind as init
mately connected with the subject of do
nestle manufactures and every branch
of rural econemy.-We therefore hope
ere long to see the public spirit Of our
fellow citizens manifesting itself in this
useful and laudable manner as it daily is
in many others.
IMPROVEMENT ofSt Louis.-Notwith-
standing the dullness of the times, it APP
pears from statement handed into this
office by respectable mechanic, that
there has been put up in this place dur
ing the last season 8 front brick houses,
stone and % of wood, besides several
others contracted for which will proba-
bly, be finished before Christmas.

Missouri Legislature.-The commit
mittee of conference appointed to de-
signate the spot for the temporary seat
of government could not agree, and was
accordingly dissolved; yesterday the bill
was quashed in the house of representa-
.tives; committee of three, viz -
Messrs. Smith, MsGirk, (of Howard)
and Waters, (of New Madrid) were ap-
pointed to draft and report one in its
stead, so there appears but little hopes
yet Of the question being speedily at an
end. There is bill before the house to
be entitled san act establishing circuit
and county courts. This bill has &C.
cupied large portion of the last week
and is still before the house-therc is
also bill before the house to establish
state bank, to be under the control of the
legislaturs-anothcr to stop the circu-
lation Of individual notes commonly call
