There is no doubt but that he viii do
that which is correct and proper, whether
the Tories like it or not. In my opinion,

country happy one. He has ordered a
Government house to be built here imme-
diately; the castle that was burnt few
years ago at QueBec to be built up; and
the volunteers Of last winter to be paid.
He yesterday visited grand military spec.
tacle-a sham battle. The horse artillery,
the 7th hussars, Montreal and Lachine
cavalry, LIST royals, list highlanders, and
gath regiment, were engaged. II was a
beautiful sight. The countess and family
preceded his excellency, under guard Of
horse; and the Governor was escorted by
his staff, General Clitherton and Admiral
Paget. He has given purse of a thou
sand dollars, to be run for at our races on
the Goth, 2lst and 23d of August. The
Governor will be present, and there will
no doubt be grand military review that
week. The races at Quebec will be equal

an explosion inevitably ensues.

English steamers have float attached to

From the Boston Transcript. LIFE or AN ENGLISH NOBLEMAN.


 Brecclesby HaH in Lincolnshire, Aug. 1857.
 Thus far up the eastern coast again. Here propose to give you some illus.ra- tons or a nobleman's life. am now stay ing, by invitation. a day or two, al one of the seats of the Earl of Marlborough. He is not here himself, and have chosen this season because my especial objcc, was the observing certain operations on the estate. Some of them l touched upon at Holkam, and as there are several of your readers who are not enthusiastically interested in agriculture, I shall spare them the resi- Suffice it that his Lordship owns about TO- 900 acres of land lying here nearly ID one body, besides fragments detached. Mucn of this, which is very valuable, is redeemed from bog and swamp.
 The coast, like Holland, opposite. is low, and like that, also, industry has made one of the finest countries in ihe world. See the result in the revenue. The earl is an extremely liberal landlord. His tenants flourish and get rich, from age to age, al- most like their master. know one ot them who is worth his half a million of dol- lars. Yet they pay him believe. not less than S26O, 900 per annum--the rent varying from $3 10 S5 the acre, on an average oi farms. The whole may be said to Dc un- der cultivation. What is called poor land. produces its four quarters and sack. or 30 bushels of wheat; and what is called good, a quarter or TWO more.
 The secret is partly in the earl's own character. He has strong practical bias of mind, takes a minute, constant interest tn the details of the whole estate, and has done a vast deal towards bringing il to it's present condition. It was in the situation of Pres ident of an agricultural society that l first met him at inc dinner on ibe Isle of Wicbt, and was then astonished at the knowledge he showed in his successive of hand speech es (which were lectures rather) on hedges, stocks of all sorts, and in fact every dcscrip- ton of an English farmers business which came up for notice.
 Doubtless he could take one of his farms and manage il as we'll as any farmer in Worcester can kis. and great deal better than he could manage one here. As t is, not being much here, he reserves only a few thousand acres aboat the Hall, antl large part of this is kept cmparked. One may ride IS miles in the various winding roads upon this ground, always al tlie edge ot the clean greensward. and shaded by lusty old trees, or, if yOu choose going ahead, yo1 may 20 thirty miles over his lOrdsh'P 'ano in a right linc-the la:m houses nnd cot-' Ntages which you pass. mostly concealed

From the Poaghkeepsie Telegraph. A NEW YEAR.

Let every farmer commence with ite new-year in keeping an account ot his bu- Siness. Let him set down every cent he receives and what for; also every cent he pays out. to whom paid and for what pur- pose. Let him also make a memorandum of his method of farming so much groOmd planted, and so much grain sown state the quality and kind of land, the quantity and kind of grain; and then at harvest put down the results, with such comments as the facts suggest. This course, though very simple, and prompted by the soundest wisdom, will require some little attention and persevc- renee at the commencement, but it will soon become agreeable, and the retrospect it will enable the farmer to take at the end of the year will be satisfactory and pleas ant.. It will besides accustom him to close thinking, and make him in every respec, better business man. ..
 If a farmer has been careless of his inl- plemcnts, and thereby left them exposed to the weather, or lying or standing where last used, he should at once collect them to- gelher, and resolve now at the commence ment of the new year that on his farm the axiom should be carried out, of A place for every thing, and every thing in its place. ..a
 If there is single school house in the district of any farmer, now vacant, it should at once be filled by the employment of a competent instructor, and the collection of every child of suitable age in the district within its walls. And then every. farmer should make it part of his duty once a month to visit the school, and sec how the teacher and scholars get on-encourage the one in his tolls, and animate the other in the requirement fknowledge-supply ev- cry book the moment it is needed-and act as if he felt that education makes the man.
 Each farmer should resolve from this time forward to adopt every improvement in the art of husbandry-to test by experi- ment such things as in his judgment appear reasonable, and which are declared bv oth- CTS to be improvements, sohen the expert mcnt can De made with0Mt 0ny material so- cri6ee of time, money or labor. And he should talk over these matters with his sons and hired men, thereby putting them to the test of argument and discussion.
 He shonld take at least one we'll con- ducted weekly paper published in his conn- tv, which bestows some attention upon ag- ricnllurc, and if his means will warrant, should extend his subscription to those journals devoted exclusively to his calling.
 And he should resolve that with coun- try as sparse of population as ours, with soil as rich and fruitful, and people as en- terprising, that so far as his excrtions can aid, it shall not be said, that from densely populated Europe the grain must be i'm ported ,o furnish the 'stalf of life to his fellow citizens. f.
 We throw out these few thoughts, and venture to say that the farmer who carries them into practice for inc year, will, under the smiles which kind Providence lavish- es upon the objects of its creation, find him- self at the close of it wiser and n richer man.

FOR THE ENQUIRER. BESSY, THE TWIN-SISTER.

 She was joyous, laughing maid, In blushing girlhood's charms array'd, -,. When first we met. No eastern bower ; Nor sunny land could boast flower That would compare in loveliness With her, and her twin-sster Bess. Together they grew, side by side, Their mothers joy, their fathers pride, From tiny sporting baby days, Together shared each others plays, Together slept, together rose, Nor Siam's twins were join'd more close. Bessy, from Bess, no one could tell, But then they said, "'twas just as we'll, For they in body were the same, @ . As were they both iRsheart and name." And cruel almost seem'd the fate That ever would them separate. Who did two roses ever view, Alone upon the stalk they grew, So very like-so fresh and fair, -.4. That could pluck one, and not the pair2 And thus it seemd none could have heart These pretty rose-twins e'er to part? thA Bessy and I've met once more; But ah,! change had her come o'er- Her cheeks were blanch'd, her eyes were wild, And she who once so sweetly smird, Now madly rav'd, and tore her hair, Or with clasp'd hands imag'd despair. A fever rag'd-and Bess so fair, For Bessy's love. death would not spare, But at her hurl'd his fatal dart, And tore these lovely twins apart And Bessy could n't, though oft she'd say. "Yes, Bess, I'll come to thee today As tender plant, rear'd in climes warm. Cannot endure the tempest storm, But torn, and delug'd by its frown, The stalks are left-their beauty gone So had Bess' death dear Bessy changd. And she, alas! was now derang'd. ....s :.
