leading journalists are the leaders in society, in
fashion, at the theatre, and great spectators on
the bourse. During the last winter, Girardin,
the editor of the Presse, was blowing up Lord
Normandy and defending Guizot, and also APP
peared on almost every evening at the soirtes of
the latter. He was pointed out to me on one OF
these occasions. Madame de Girardin, who
writes frequently the teiieton, for her husbands

name of Delphine Gay, used, at the same time, to
be praisng the British minister, and visiting the
embassy on all the nights of the soirfes, with the

have the materials to give long and curious
history of the Partisan press, in all its details,
extending to many columns, but have only time
to give short and brief sketches of its general
features, in addition to what have formerly
written. The leading journals of Paris, and OF
France, are only five or six, those have already
named, but there are journals of every shade OF
opinion, with circulatons from 200 per week to
1900 or 1000 per day. In Paris the number OF all
kinds is nearly 3O-in the departments the num-
Der is over 300 of all kinds. The great majority
of them are political, and favorable to the present
dynasty. To establish anew journal any where,
requires the consent of the government, and the
deposit of large sum of money, as guarantee
for the payment of fines that may be inflicted by
judgments on its violations of law. This creates
great difficulty in the establishment OF new
journals out of the city OF Paris-and even In
Paris the difficulties are great. During the last
ten years vast number OF new journals nave
been attempted in Paris, many OF them by the
members of the cabinet, yet the most OF them
fell through for want of patronage. The lively
community of Paris will not read or patronize
newspaper that does not criticise their own gov
eminent with independence, or make war on
England and other foreign rivals. The mere
government organs have as little circulation
among the people of France, as the like have in
the United States.
HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION While the great
er part of the citizens of New York are delvlng
and digging from the end Of one year to- that OF
the other, insensible to every thing but the pur-
suit of wealth--a few gentlemen are exertlng
themselves to elevate them, and direct their
minds to the study and admiration Of natures
most beautiful works. We allude to the Ameri-
can Agricultural Associations body of men
who have made agriculture and its kindred sci
ences their study for a number of years past,
and devoted their attention to its advance
ment
| This society has been established only short
time but its fruits can be traced in every nursery
and flower garden in this part of the country. BY
offering premiums, and holding out other in
ducements to florists, nurserymen, and garden
ers, these useful and honorable classes of society
have competed with each other in raising and
| improving the rarest and most beautiful Of ma
lures productions. Any one who recollects the
nasty fruits and vegetables which were exhibited
for sale in our market few years since, can, at
a glance perceive the difference between them
and what are now offered for sale. The largest
and best fl 4vored strawberries, cucumbers, rasp-
berries, cherries, sc. &c., can now be had at
even less price than was few years ago
charged for the poorest qualities. Private enter
prize has no doubt done great deal to effect this
wonderful change for the better, but large
| portion of the credit is due to the Agricultural
Association, and other institutions, having the
same object and purpose in view as it has. The
| same influences which have effected these good
results in this part of the country, are5at work
| all over the United States, and will no doubt ef-
feet as much substantial good for the inhabit-
ants as the agricultural societies of Scotland ef-
fected for the people of that country.
We perceive that the American Agricultural
Society will exhibit collection of the best
flowers, fruits, and vegetables that have been
raised in this vicinity this year, at the Lyceum
Building, Broadway, this day. From what we
know of this society, we feel convinced that
their exhibition will be well worth visiting; and
we can safely say in advance, that such of our
ladies as will visit it, will be highly gratifed and
amused.
Boston, Philadel pha, and other cities, have
their horticultural and agricultural societies, the
effects of which are of the most favorable char
acter and why should not the metropolis have
one too, more especially there is greater room
for its exercise than either of the other places
