We are certainly thus presented with some of the
most remarkable developments OF the present age.
What gives them greatly increased interest," is the
fact that they are connected IN some degree with
both the great political parties. In consequence of
his propagation of infidelity, under the friendly
shade OF political influence, it is making greater
progress IN this country this time than it ever did
In any country in Europe. 1t was by similar SUBJ
servency of politics to infidety or of infidelty TO
politics, that gave TO the indels of France such over
whelmng power in the French revolution. The
French inidels thus gained and kept the balance of
power, and used it in such way as to destroy all
religion, and organise infidelity and immortality IN
the most open and undisgused manner Here, sim
gulariy enough, lnhdey ispursuing the same course
of political action which adopted so successfully in
France previous to the revolution. II associates
with aboiionism-with democracy -withwhiggism
with themoral' reformer-with fanatlcism IN reli-
gion-wiih fanaticsm in politics--wlth ultralsm in
eyerything-seizing in fact, every salient point
in society, il is fast acquiring degree of strength
Of which few dream. In all this nwardmovement
the mainstsy ofthe philosophy has been the New
York Tribune, which has attained more importance
than any other journal in the whig party in conse
quence of its being the official organ of political
clique, welding the power Of the State in Albany
Tor several years past.
AGRICULTURAL ScIRNcE.-There are now two
periodicals in this city devoted to the advancement
of agricultural science. One is conducted by John
5. skinner, the other by Redwood Fisher. This
increase in this department of our periodical litera
ure, indicts the growing taste for agricultural pur
suits amongst intelligent men, and no doubt if prop
erly conducted, these works will be of essential SER
vice. Mr. Skinner is well known as formerly con-
nected with agricultural pursuits at Baltimore, and
Redwood Fisher formerly from Pennsylvania, has
been connected with industrial pursuits for many
years in this city. Mr.. Skinner is good deal of
a twadder in agricultural affairs, and Mr.. Fisher is
OF the same thing in commercial and
affairs. Both, however, OCCASION

WORKING OF THE NEW POSTAGE LAw.-The
following statement exhibits the number of letters
carried by the United States Express mail from New
York to Boston, one way only, for twelve trips pre-
ceding, and since the first of July, when the new
postage law went into operation. This includes only
those carried by one agent, and is probably about
one-half.

This gives increase of l4sl letters, amounting
to $47 37i in favor of the law over the old for
the time, and number of trips. The diff
ference from Boston is not so great.
ANOTHER New PAPER is shortly to be started by
Childs,i Samm and Edward Sanford. 1t will be
powerful antagonist to the Neics, and may be re-
garded the first attempt to establish sub-organ
the plan of the Union. Slamm has been lately
appointed 'despatch agent in this cty-a snug sine
cure, yielding about $500 year, and is thus re-
tanned by the administration. He and his associ-
ates have collected, it is said, capital of SS50OO
which will keep them afioat for few months. This
new paper will go either for Mr.. Polk or in case of
his refusal to stand again, for his candidate, Mr.
Walker. Thus the democracy will be divided into
two cliques, like the wings.
