FROM BRAZIL.-We learn by the Mary Ann.
Capt. Coggeshall, which left Paraiba on the ID
Jan. that the Emperor of Brazil had issued pro-
cIamation stating that he had been obliged to re-
sort to the unpleasant method Of impressng men
into his service, in consequence of being threatened
by three armies opposed to him, and calling upon
his subjects to take up arms in support of the pre-
sent government BY short arrival from the
South, information received that .Monterideo
an possession Of the Patriots and that several
other provinces north of the La Plata had sent
deputies % Buenos Ayres, and had been acknowl
edged as independent states. The Brazilian Consul
at Buenos Ayres had demanded his passports and
proceeded for Rio Janeiro.
The northern provinces OF Brazil continued qui
Ell, but in a wretched state, and the order for
pressing the peasants and free blacks into the army,
would probably excite much discomfort,

lbsBANDaY.-lt seems not generally
appeheuded, or, if unprecedented, not
acid upon, that husbandry, or farming,
like the mechanic arts, ia order 10 be
mot profitable TO those engaged in il,
shoild be divided and sub-divided into
IFS Iistinct and separate branches. The
blacksmith 10 his anvil, The cobler 10 bis
las, the carpenter TO his addice, and So
onp Of the other branches of mechanical
lalprs; no one thinks Of carrying on all
th@e at one and the same time. But
tho farmer appears not 10 appreciate
Tho advantages of combining bis labors to
am one branch of husbandry, the con
veging of effort and attention 10 one
pont; and yet this is, in fact, as mpor-
tan in husbandry as in mechanism. And
il slowing TO this mistaken policy, no
DOUBT, in great measure, that The art
of iusbandry has advanced so slowly,
andlhe profit so small 10 comparison 10
the labor. A moments reflection will
shoV this the natural result. BY having
the attention divided among all The var-
Gus branches, no one becomes particu-
larl skilled in either, and hence no
braIch becomes particularly profitable.
BY keeping few cove for dairyug, a
fewswine, a few sheep, fattening few
bee'es, raising little grain a little fax,
&c. tie attention ard resources Of
common farmer are go divided, lkat the
whole yield but discouraeing result !;
where's, BY confoing his attentions TO
either 'ne of these, or taking only such
as bear the nearest afinity and assist one
the oaer, he may hope to become an
adept III hat particular branch, and re-
alize spending profit. Aud in Sc
iecUng the particular branch he will
pursue, the husbandman should not
rashly adopt that which a chance
speculation may at the moment cry up
as the most profitable but should, in the
frs; place, consider for what his farm is
more particularly adapted, and what his
resources will enable him TO have mos,
perfectly at command +; and then steadi
" and perseveringly pursue it. As the
cobler TO his last, so let the dairyman
stick 10 his cows, the grazier TO his
beeves, the wool grower 20 bis tlocks,
through all the ups and do1cns of specu-
Iaton, and there is little apprehension
that either in the end have caase to
complain that he gets no profit in his la
Dor, or is not sharer in the general
property.

Case Of a Lady born blind, acho re-
ceire9 sight IN her forty-sevenh gear.

Case of Lady born blind, who re-
ceired sight IN her torty-seuenth gear.
In the Philosophical Transauions
which have just been published, there is
an interesting case recorded Of a lady,
who had been born blind, receiving her
sight after she had entered on her 47th
year. When about 6 months old she
was placed under Partisan occuist, who
performed an operation on both her eyes
with view TO afford her sight. The
operation proved unsuccessful, the right
eye was attacked with inflammation and
completely destroyed, and in the left ;he
vision was not restored. The lady con-
tinucd in this situation I'LL after she bad
reached her forty-siXth year, when she
applied to Mr.. Wardrop. This gentle
man found the right eye-ball collapsed,
but the left possessing lis natural giobu-
lar form, with transparent cornea, but
obliterated pupil. The lady could dis
tipguish very dark from very light
room, but was not able in the latter case
to perceive the situation of the window
from which the light came. From this
circumstance, Mr.. Wardrop conceived
that the re tina was 10 Fl, state for receiv-
ing the impression Ofhght, ii'the obstruc-
ton to its admission into the eye was re-
moved, and consequently determined on
The performance Of an operation with
this view. On the Goth OF January he
operated on this lady, after which she
could perceive more light, although she
was unable TO distinguish either forms oil
colours. The result oil the first aitemp
justified the favourable views entertained
Of the state Of the retina, and the proprl
ETY. of a second operation was determn
