We have received the August number Of this perioli-
cal, and give the following notice of its contents, from the
y. Y. Courier:
PnHdDis MONTHLY for August i yet n better number
than any Of it, predecessors. IL i but the eighth issued.
and already the Magazine begins to assume its distinctive
tone and to present 70 its readers with a well balanced va
riety OF papers upon topics of permanent or temporary
interest The task Of establishing an original monthly
magazine OF a high order is no slight One,-though some
persons seem to think it sO,-aHd this, the fist successful
attempt IN America, Is a cause of congratulatOn to az
lovers OF the best literature. In the present numbera pa.
per upon the Crystal Palacc, one on Academies and Uni
yersities, and one on the GOthic Style ia the Fine Art,
supply well and amply the demands OF the more serious
class OF readers the Curiosities of Puritan History furnish
matter for an article at once Amusing and instructive A;

descriptions of a country of enchanting piciuresqueness

articles Of merit and interest; among them one on VII

HrGHLY INPoRTASr.-On Tuesday morning last we had
the pleasure OF receiving = visit from General Richardson,
the canvassing Agent of the Virginia agricultural Socie
l. We were very avoably impressed with this gentle.
mans intelligence aud zeal in the cause in which he is en-.
gagged, and confirmed in the opinion which we had formed
from the testimony of others, that il would hardly have
been possible to find one better fitted to discharge The
peculiar duties entrusted 10 him. lie has already visited
a large portion OF the state, and has ascertained That Vir-
ginia has materials foe getting up a cattle show that will
compare ~iavOrably with any similar exhibition ever held
in the United States. Generally speaking, his success has
been very encouraging, with mechanics, manufacturers.
aud merchants, a well as with farmers We arc truly
sorry to add that he las not succeeded thus far in this
county as well a. he had anticipated. His experience in
the large and wealthy county OF ~Fnuquicr, has too much
rcscmbled our own when we have endeayorcd to rouse the
people from the-to us-unaccOuutable apathy which e1-
lists on the subject Of Agricultural associations.
Still, however, we do not despair. We cannot, we will
not believe that a people 80 intelligent and so able to give
their assistance, will refuse TO come toward and cooperate
in one Of the noblest enterprises ever presented to the con
sideration OF the public, In any state Or country.-Pieh
mont Wig, Tdy 3Oh.

Paris lest Bcnaparte should adopt one of those sud-

peace. He has been very restless on account Of the
dilatory proceedings of the English Ministry-and
very much dissatisfied at the aggressive movements
of Russia. Count NeSselrode's note declaring that
the Danubian occupation was induced by the advance
of the English and French fleets, and would not be
rclinquished until those fleets retire from the .Egean

COFFEE

Since our last report there is hut little doing in the Codee trade.

that Of the same period for many years past. The want of ami.

There Is very little demand from the trade, except for the bet.
ter descriptions Of Rio, OF which, notwithstanding the large stock,
the proportion. - small.
The ellssidcStono OF quality in Rio, A. determined by some Of the
invoices Of late importation, must he far below the standard Of
former good crop seasons Mostof the CaTgoes arriving n made
up Of grades little suited 90 the Baltimore market.
In regard to the accumulation Of stocks, IL IS remarkable that tn I,
imports this year do not vary materially from the average receipts
OF 1851 aud lS52 combined.
by reference 70 the business Of same periods, we hnd the sales Of
Coffee for the months Of May, June and Juy, amounted la the az.
gregate to lG2ODO, or $1,000 bag per month Of each year. whsrs.
as Tor the last three months, the entire sales have not exceeded
$1,000 bags, or 5000 per month. II We suppose the trade TO have
taken the average Of iS5l-52, the stock on hand would be about
5000 bags.
At present the jobbers have little or no stock. TheIargesth hold.

:g-The Freeman's journal lCatholiel pnblished

~ The Frceman's Journal Catholic published
in New York, says, that " distinguished American
Senator has just become a convert to the Roman Cath
Ollie faith" and was received in the Catholic Church
on the Feast OF Visitation duly p by his Emincncc
Cardinal Fransoni, Project Of the Propaganda"
No name is mentioned, and conjecture is busy as
to who the man can be. Senator Douglas is the only
American Senator known to be abroad, and the New
York papers suppose that he is the person and that
looking always to the main chance, he concluded that
he could make more votes by one pilgrimage to Rome
than by twenty clectioncering campaigns at home
This is an improvement on Calcb's idea, that we are

bound. Every body will be compelled to vote for
him for the Presidency now.
