stances of maturity, this truth becomes more ap- 

 parent, and renders the cultivation of the soil more 

 an object of public patronage. Institutions for 

 promoting it, grow up, supported by the public 

 purse : and to what objects can it be dedicated 

 with greater propriety ? Among the means which 

 have been employed to this end, none have been at- 

 tended with greater success than the establishment 

 of Boards, composed of proper characters, charged 

 with collecting and diffusing information ; and en- 

 bled by premiums and small pecuniary aids, to 

 encourage and assist a spirit of discovery and im- 

 provement. This species of establishment contri- 

 butes doubly to the increase of improvement, by 

 drawing to a common centre the results, every 

 where, of individual skill and observation, and 

 spreading them over the nation. Experience ac- 

 cordingly has shown, that they are very cheap in- 

 struments of immense national benefit." 



There are some attractions to the exhibition at 

 Brighton on the 16th inst. of a peculiar and power- 

 ful nature. The season has been bountiful, the 

 premiums of the Society liberal, and we may an- 

 ticipate a rich intellectual repast in the Address of 

 the Hon. Edward Everett, whose reputation as 

 an Orator, and a man of erudition, give us a guar- 

 anty of excellence of the highest order. If the 

 above-named inducements and many others which 

 might be enumerated, should fail to make the Brigh- 

 ton Show all that the most sanguine could antici- 

 pate, we shall fear that the best interests of the 

 good old "Bay" State are beginning to be nullified, 

 in consequence of the supineness of those to whom 

 Providence has entrusted the custody of her weal 

 and welfare — the guardianship of her public as 

 well as her private prosperity.

ITEMS OF INTELLIGENCE. 



Improved Corn. Dr. Oliver Fiske, of this town, has 

 left with us a specimen of Corn of a kind which he has 

 raised for three years past, and which appears worthy of 

 the attention of our farmers, generally. It has now been 

 fully ripe for near a month, and being thus early, it is 

 not only safe from the frost, but, in consequence of fil- 

 ling out and ripening in the warmer part of the season, 

 is more likely to be sound and heavy than that which 

 ripens later. The kernel and ear are about the size of 

 the common corn, and Dr. Fiske thinks it will yield as 

 large a crop as any corn he ever raised. — Worcester Spy, 



Lire Stock. The Memphis Advocate of the 4th inst. 

 states that on the 1st the steamboat Lady Franklin pass- 

 ed that place with a cargo of fifteen thousand chick- 

 ens, and an almost unprecedented number of other live 

 stock, bound for the New Orleans market. 



The Hon. Daniel Webster has accepted an invitation 

 fivnn. the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, to deliver in 

 that city an Address before that body, in the last week 

 of November next. 



The Season. It is a subject of some curiosity to note 

 the difference in the season in different latitudes. The 

 Quebec Gazette of Sept. 16, mentions that for four or 

 six days the weather had been cold, with frosts almost 

 every night. This had prevented some of the crops from 

 ripening. With the exception of oats, however, the 

 crops of grain were then under the sickle ! — Worcester 

 Spy.

LINN^EAN BOTANIC GARDEN AND 

 NURSERIES. 



Flushing, near New York. 

 WILLIAM PRINCE & SONS announce to 



the public that, f rom ,ne immense extent of their establishment, 

 they are enabled to furnish such trees of the various kinds, as 

 cannot fail to give satisfaction, by their superior size, vigor, 

 &c., — and their Nurseries at present contain more than a mil- 

 lion of trees and plants in the most thrifty state. Among these 

 are above 50,000 pear trees, of 3 and 4 years' growth from the 

 graft, comprising the most choke new Flemish and other va- 

 rieties of modern origin. Their new catalogues with the re- 

 duced prices, will be forwarded to every applicant^ and are as 

 follow : — 



No. 1. Fruit and hardy Ornamental Trees, Shrubs and 

 Plants, pp. 93. 



2. Bulbous and Tuberous rooted Plants and Dahlias, &c. 

 pp. 24. 



3. Greenhouse Trees, Shrubs and Plants, pp. 44. 



4. American Indigenous Trees, Shrubs and Plants, pp. 50. 



5. A catalogue of Vegetable, Field, and Flower seeds. 



To the Proprietors of Nurseries, and to those who may wish 

 to establish new Nurseries, they will furnish all articles desired, 

 at a liberal discount and a convenient credit ; and in all other 

 cases where large quantities are wanted, a reasonable abate- 

 ment will be made. They will also supply all venders of seeds, 

 and those who wish to engage in that business, with every va- 

 riety of Vegetable, Field and' Flower seeds, at very low rates. 

 These seeds possess the advantage of being raised under their 

 own observation, or when imported, of being tested to their sat- 

 isfaction, and their accuracy and vitality are expressly guaran- 

 teed. Many new and choice kinds will be found in the cata- 

 logue, which have never before been offered to the public. The 

 collection of Bulbous flower roots and Dahlias is particularly 

 rich and extensive, and of the latter, they have a specimen bed 

 covering an acre of ground, and comprising 600 varieties now 

 in full splendor. Bulbous roots and Dahlias are easily trans- 

 ported, and can be vended in a dry state, in seed Stores, &c. 

 and an establishment for the sale of these articles ought to ex- 

 ist in every town in the Union. It will be readily perceived, 

 that the great number of trees, &c, always in the Nurseries, en- 

 ables the proprietors to make superior selections, and secureslo 

 all applicants this particular advantage. 



As it is deemed unnecessary to continue any Agencv at 

 Boston, it is requested that all orders be sent direct per Mail, 

 and the utmost attention will be paid to forwarding them 

 agreeably to order. oe<!^*
