a PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE
"a CULTURE OF SILK, adapted to
the Climate and Soil of the United States.
BY +. G. CoMsTOCK, Secretary of the Hart
ford County Silk Society, and Editor of
the Silk Culturist. illustrated by Engra-
wings.
The interest in all parts of the United
States in the Culture and Manufacture of
silk, manifested by the constant calls for
information on the subject, has induced
the publisher TO have prepared a plain
Practical Treatise on the Cultivation of the
Mulberry and Rearing Silk Worms, adap-
ted 10 the Soil and Climate of this country
and to the wants of plain practical men.
The Practical Culturist in this country
needs directory adapted TO the Soil on
which he plants his trees, and the Climate
in which he rears his worms, without ref
erence to Soils and Climates less congenial
TO their growth. 1t has been therefore the
object of the author TO makea treatise
strictly practical, emitting nothing of inn
poi lance and adding nothing of useless
or eXtraneous character.
As making the raw material into Sew
ing Silk and Twist is very praftable TO
the Silk grower, all necessary information
for that purpose will be given.
-..s work is IN Press and will soon he
published in a duodecimo of about 100
pages, in handsome bnding-price so
cents. A par of the edition will be put
up in elastic covers TO be forwarded by
mail.
Editors of Newspapers who will give
the above three insertions, with this notice,
and forward their paper with the adver-
tiscment marked, shall he entitled to a
copy of the work, to be forwarded TO their
order.

The upper parts of the spars, the hammock rails, and tho small Iron. grfis which were mounted on the vessels decks, were covered with white frost.

IHc natufe of comets.--It appears from 1 an extfa to the Algemeine Zeiatling, Octo- Der 27, that an occultation of the la.e comet over small but very bright star ii tlie constellation of the Lynx, wGs obsery- ed at the observatory of Milan on the 7lh of that month. The star was visible not only through the comets tail, bdt also through it's body and very nucleus. This therefore, Is q recent corroboraton Of tho fact, which has been inferred from several previous observations of cometary occulias tion, that comets are entirely composed of an immense collection of very diffused light, probably Illuminating very gaseous or humid yapor, similar to the atmospiief of planet, and not possessng any condens sed or opaque nucleus whatever. Whether by crossing the planetary orbits, and by inc powerful action of the solar rays as they periodically sweep by the sun, they may not eventually become dim and opaque and uI- timatelv be surrounded with hard crust like that of this world, would be subject of interesting conjecture, not altogether un- susceptible of argument. Professor Play fair has made 1t appear almost certain that the crust of this earth is not more than twen. ty miles thick, while its whole concayily ia surrounded by an ocean of fire, and it's in ternal area is filled with light. Ne ara much inclined to adopt the theory that comets are young worlds in an embryo state. which will gradually become circumscrib- ed Ill their orbits until they are added to tho regular bodies of the solar system and have an appointed circuit upon it's boundaries.

of the first day are highly favorable to a

may be thrown into market. Several of
the purchases yesterday were resold before
leaving the ground at handsome advance.
