E We have received the April number of the Edinburgh Review from the publishers, Leonard Scott & Co.,, 59 Gold St., New York. The first ar ticle, :" FEMALE INDUsTRY,'' gives sketch of the labors and employments of females in Great Britain from the days of King Alfred, when the surplus women and girls of England were sold into Slavery in Ireland, down to the present time, when, under the Factory system of labor, they are scarcy less than slaves. Many excellent suggestions are made by the writer for the improvement of the condition of females dependent on labor for support. The other articles in this number of this valuable Quar- terly we have had no time to examine but from their titles we judge that they of great inter- est. The Reviews of ' Barth's Discoveries in Afri- ca and {" The West Indies as they were and are, . are topics which at the present time occupying much public attention.

To the Agricultural Editor Of the Detroit Tribune.
In THE Cars, Sept. l, 1859.
SIR,-I send you another sample Of
Cat Mountain Wheat, grown by Mr..
p. B. Gage, of Dowagiac, Cass Co.
He received parcel of. this variety
from the Patent Office late in 1856.
The paper contained only about half a
gill. He prepared some ground imme-
diately and sowed the same day he re-
ceived it. This is sample of the
third crop harvested from thatseed. He
has seven bushels and half, weighing
sixty-three and half pounds to the
bushel. He sowed it for the last two
years about the fifth or sixth of Sep
TENDER. It was too late on the first
year, and did not get sufficiently well
rooted to stand the winter.
The Cat Mountain ripens the same
time as Soule's wheat. Mr.. Gage COM
menoed cutting both kinds on the same
day. He measured the ground this
grew ON, and found the yield to be at
the rate of twenty bushels per acre.
He is well pleased with it, and con
'siders il better yield than the Blue
Stem, or Soule's, and less liable 20 be
attacked by insects than these varie-
ties. Mr.. G. says that this wheat
is hybrid between the bald and
bearded varieties it has short beard
about half an inch in length.
/ think this sample is plumper and
evener than the one which sent you
of the same variety, grown by Mr.. ].
w. Hamilton, of Battle Greek, al
though that was very good, but Mr..
Hamilton had sac papers from the Pat
ent Office at the same time, 1850 that
Mr.. Gage received but one, Mr.. II. had
thirty-one bushels and half this har-
vest, while to be equal to Mr.. Cages
yield, he should have forty-fve. Mr.. G.
beats him in produce at the rate of two
bushels and eight quarts per paper.
think it must be good yielder to in
crease from alf gill to seven bushels
in three sowings. Suppose you would
ask some of your agricultural friends
how long it-would take at that rate to
multiply this seed SO that there would
be sufficient quantity of, it to SOW Sll
the available land on the Continent of
America? The name (Cat Noun tain, J
was given by the President of the Ag-
ricultural Bureau, at.W ashington, from
H7place in Virginia, where the seed
WAS brought by the Patent Office for
distribution. it seems to be very nice
clean white Wheat. | viii bring You
2 large sample when I 60 to Detroit.
.zoH Mr.. Gage expects to take bushel
of the Cat Mountain to the United
States Fair at Chicago, and intends to
bring it home again and sow it. r He
has not any to sell. u =
Remain, Yours &c.
