IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

BY the brig William from Liverpool, the
Central Agricultural and Emigration Society
have received fresh importation of Neat
Cattle OF the celebrated Short Horn or Dur
ham Breed, and Of Rams OF the Dishlfy or
Improved Leicester Breed; the whole of
which will be sold on the 25th of next mouth.
These animals, notwithstanding they are
after sea voyage of thirty -one days, appear
to be in good condition and have very fine
appearance. The nett amount of the sales
is to be applyed to detraying the expense of
fresh importation.
These measures and exertiOns on the part
of the Central Board will, we conceive
he attended with the most beneficial effects,
not only as they regard the means of direct
ly improving the Breed ofStock, but also as re-
CARDS inducing among our Farmers habits of
carettllness in the management of their Cat
tie generally. 1t is believed by many that
the complaint heretofore made respecting our
present Stock both Of Neat Cattle and Sheep,
have arisen entirely from the Farmers own
carelessness with regard to their feeling and
shelter. We are we'll aware that there are
several experienced Farmers in Nova-Scotia
who, by their attention to the comfort and
cleanliness of their Cattle, have brought them
to high state of improvement without any
aid from the introduction of a foreign breed.
We do not mean to infer from this that an
improved Stock would not be an acquisition,
far from tive mean to say that this, with
a new mode of management which will ne
cessarily follow, will be productive of results
for the benefit of the Province, of which, if
the system be persevered in. we have at pre-
sent but little conception.
in ord In raaH apS
more particularly the comparative advanta-
ges of the Durham Breed, we shall give an
extract from a work lately published by a
gentleman of this city on this subject and
shall in our next, give another extract regar-
ding the new Breed of Sheep:-
"The principle feature in the character of
these cattle for which they are so celebrated,
is of their very easy attainment of proof, as
it is called, or disposition to make feed at ear
lier age, than any other breed, whatever;
this no doubt is aided by their placid and do
Gle tempers, which also renders them steady
and willing draught cattle; bulls, even, hav-
ing been by kind and gentle treatment, lear
ned to perform regular tasks, for miles with
out driver. With care, they will feed TO
great weight, after having performed much
labor, and when their beef is sailed down, is
said to retain its juices longer than any 9th
er: in consequence of which it has long been
preferred to pack for India and other coun-
tries where retention of goodness of quality
is an object. They are very good mixers,
considering their great inclination to fatten.
"The following authenticated examples
will best prove to what weight they attain, &
will serve as strong confirmation of the as
sertion, how very far beneath other cattle,
our present race is. A gentleman in York
shire, some time ago, killed an OK. five years
old-the weight was as follows, viz:

NEw-YoRK MORNING CHRONICLE. This
paper, has been suspended for the moment,
and the Editors have addressed circular to
thei- patrons, stating, that owing to variety
of embarrassments, caused by the frauds OF
others, they are unable to publish their paper
at present; but that arrangements are making
to ensure its future publication. We are sorry
that so interesting publication should have
been stopped, though we are not surprised that
il has failed Of success. We apprehend that
other causes than those assigned, have led to
its suspension. Be this however as it may, we
hope its publication will be resumed, and that
all interested will be abundantly rewarded for
their industry, perseverance, enterprize and
labour.

Tune" WhaH be King but Charlie"
Oh. proudly wave the stripes and stars,
And loud the drums are beating;
Shout victory ye sons Of Mars,
Our foes are fast retrcating.
Come let us be merry,
And tipple the sherry,
Come hasten, the moments are neeting;
Each fill his glass,
And toast his lass,
While our foes are fast retreating.
Come let US be merry,
And tpple the sherry,
And thus all our cares and our sorrows well
bury;
And-evcry soldier toast his lass
While our foes-are fast retrea.ng.
And should the foemcn dare return,
Wen give them such meeting;
They'll soon be fam again 10 run,
They'll fancy not our greeting.
Come let us be merry SC.

My lads, our hearts are beating;
Then love shall crown the sweets of peace,
Thus al oar joys completing.

has published IN the Washington Telegraph,
letter addressed 10 MI. Duf Green, in which
he complains most bitterly, th.t Mr.. Clay took
copy ofthe letter addressed TO him, by Gem
eral Jackson, IN which Mr.. Clay is accused of
corruption. AS the letter, like the writer of
1t, and its publisher, is UNIV or'hy of notice, we
shall suffer il 10 go for what i, is worth, and
leave IT TO be decided upon by the wisdom and
Justice Of the public. General Jackson's letter
was placed in Mr.. Clay's hands by Mr.. Bever-
ly, and he had an unquestionable right to take

ORIGINAL PoErRY.-We have recently
been favoured by correspondents with an un-
usual quantity of original poetry, the most OF
which, without intending 10 offer any disrepect
TO the writer's, we have thrown aside, and now
hold subject to the orders Of those, by whom
the etlilsions were communicated.
We are not disposed to set up our opinions
as infallblc, and we will not undertake to say,
that we are better judges of poetry than any
of our correspondents; but whilst we have to
take the responsibility of whatever appears in
our paper, We must reserve TO ourselves the
privilege of deciding what is proper, and what
is not proper, to publish. We should be very
much pleased if we could crafty the wishes
Of all who forward to us cffusions for publica-
ton; and we confess, that we are often pain
ed, because Of the utter impossbility of our
granting the wishes Of our friends, particular
ly ofthose, who are in the habit of writing poe
try. But it will not answer to publish all that
is sent us; and we now wish to have it under
stood, without further remark, that such eflu-
sions as are not published, Immediately after
their reception, are rejected
AS for poetry, there are but two kinds of it
that are worth rcading;-thc very good and
the very bad THE one to be admired, and the
other to be laughed at;-and as for your mid
ding poetry-who reads it, and what is il good
for' 1t is like diluted cordial, reduced to a
state Of absolute tameness-vap pi1, stale, "hat
and Improbable" These remarks not
intended to apply personally to any individual
and those who have favourcd us with their pro-
ductions, will not, Of course, take any excep-
tions The subject has led us on, and now
whilst we are about it, we will remark, TO a
friend who forwarded us an acrostic, that in
our opinion, the thing is very good; but it be-
ing an acrostc, and written on a name, which
however dear it may be TO every American has
become quite too common in poesy, we must
decline its publication. OF all things, just AL
la spare us from an acrostic. We would in
form another correspondent, who has often
honored us with his favors, that the publica-
ton Of his last production, would not do his
muse any credit, and certainly would not
please her, to whom it is addressed. We re-
spect his talents, have often published his pro-
ductions, and at his request, we now express
our opinion. and have to say TO him that his
last effort, has resulted in an entire fai'ure.-
lie will excuse our candour, and remember
that he asked for the expression Of our frank
and undisgused opinion.

on the first fire, Mr.. Clay's ball slightly wound
ed hr. Marshall in the body, when second
was had. and Mr.. Clay received deep flesh
wound in the thigh. A third fire was propos-

exhausted by the loss of blood, it was omitted,
and the partios'rcturned to their homes.
After this, the tongue Of MIR. Marshall was
comparatively silenced, though his hostility TO
Mr.. Clay remained unabated; nor is il proba-

most Of Of il, whilst we lament that il ever
