so near spontaneo IS yield, and none
yields so large profit. The hay-crop Of
the United States in 1850, was over 49,
100000 tons; that for 1856 he estimates
at 100000, which is worth sl5O, 900.

The grass crop which is used for pastur-

MAssAcHUsETTs-The election in this
State occurs on Tuesday next, Nov. 9th,
instead Of the second Monday as formerly,

ton. The canvass in the good old Com
monwealth is quite spirited, and the result
is by no means certain. Beach the DEM
ocratic candidate, will receive large vote
from the ssLiberal" or anti NJ aine-law in
terest, and the elections to the legislature
will be largely affected by the same cause.
Gardner, the presentincumbent, willlike-
wise receives considerable vote, but the
bad faith which he and his partizans have
shown in relation to the Republican move
ment, must inevitably ruin his chances.
Rockwell, the republican candidate, is
steadily gaining ground, and with anything
like fair show of the honest preferences
of the people, must receive handsome
plurality. The straight whig' party is
ofcourse in the field, and like the opera
tion of that interesting faction else where,
its energies are directed to the election of
the Pierce and rum candidate.

disregard Of the diplomatic and military
instructions Of Kossuth is really shameful.
The last programme Of the great Magyar,

Rollin, was disclosed in Their late prouun-
ciamento for an Italian Red Republican
revolution The disordered condition Of
Of the Kingdom Of King Bomba, says the
n. Y. Herald, offers the occasion and the
place for opening the ball-when PRESTO,

to the Bay Of Naples. The fact is, tha.
throughout the Russian war the military
experience and the political sagacity, the
plans, predictions and warnings of Kos,
sath, have been treated by England with
such marked contempt as would justify
him in denying to Palmerston any advice
or instructions, military or diplomatic from
this time to the end Of the chapter. What's
the use Of casting pearls before swine?

rentage, the slave plantation, treatment of
slaves, his escape from slavery, &c., twen-
ty-one months in Great Britain, extracts
from speeches, letters, &C., &c.
