The plates consist of a plan of the park, two views of the palace, six of 

 the gardens and grounds, and one of the church of Monza, an edifice com- 

 posed in a mixed style of Gothic and Grecian, but highly decorated and 

 picturesque. The engravings are by the painter's wife, and very well 

 executed ; an example of domestic cooperation and talent worthy of notice 

 and of imitation. The description of the park, though very short, is less 

 suitable to our purpose than that ; for which, as well as for the Pro- 

 menade, we have to thank Mr. Clare. (See Miscel. Intel., Vol. II. p. 459.)

The grapes ought not to be cut till they are perfectly ripe, and the 

 operation should be performed in a hot day, after the sun has exhaled from 

 the berries every particle of exterior moisture. Cut off the bunches with 

 scissors, and remove the damaged berries. Directions are given for treading 

 the grapes in tubs, and the signs indicated by which it may be known when 

 fermentation is completed. The wine is then directed to be put in casks 

 by means of pipes, so as to prevent it from coming in contact with the air; 

 and, in racking from one cask to another, the same pipes are to be used for 

 the same reason. Before bottling, see that the bottles are perfectly clean ; 

 and, to prevent every possible chance of their contaminating the liquor, 

 fumigate them with sulphur.

Journal d' Agriculture d'E'conomie Rurale et des Manufactures du Royaume 

 des Pays-Bas, Sfc. Brussels. 8vo., in Monthly Numbers. 



This work, which has appeared for twelve years, and has extended to 

 five volumes, is chiefly occupied with translations or extracts from contem- 

 porary publications. The Number for April last contains an original article 

 on the culture of tobacco, by Bailley Saint-Martin, inspector of tobacco 

 manufactures in France, and now resident at Uccle, in the neighbourhood 

 of Brussels ; which, since the passing of the late law for the culture of 

 tobacco in this country, may be of some interest to our readers. 



The tobacco is an annual plant, which requires a good deal of care. The 

 sort considered best worth cultivating in France and Flanders is the tongue- 

 leaved, or Virginian, Nicofearca Tabacum. 



The soil which best suits the tobacco is one of a marly, hot, and rather 

 moist nature. The sweepings of streets, and the ashes of alkaline plants,
