Agricultural Lectures, Discussions, etc,, 
at 'STale College, oil a Grand. Scale, 
We are happy to announce the completion of the ar¬ 
rangements which have been in progress during many 
months past, for a grand agricultural gathering at Yale 
College, the coming Winter. It is proposed to have what 
may be termed a great agricultural “ protracted meeting” 
to last through the month of February, or longer—say 
about thirty working days. The exorcises are to consist 
of lectures by leading reliable mon, eminent in the differ¬ 
ent departments of agriculture, horticulture, stock raising, 
etc. About a hundred lectures are provided for, two to 
four a day, each lecture being followed during the day 
and evening by conversational exercises, questions to the 
lecturers, and discussions. Twenty gentlemen have been 
addressed, and have consented to take part in the exer¬ 
cises as lecturers and teachers, including Cassius M. Clay, 
and Frederick Roche, etc., on Cattle ; Dr. Gulliver, on 
Horses; C. L. Flint, and others, on the Dairy ; Dr. Asa 
Fitch, on Entomology; the Hon. M. P. Wilder, Dr. 
Grant, and Mr. Barry, on Fruits; Professor Porter, on 
Organic Chemistry ; Prof. S. W. Johnson, on Agricultural 
Chemistry ; Jno. Stanton Gould, on Grasses and Irriga¬ 
tion; Judge French, on Draining; Professor 13 ewer, on 
Commercial Plants (flax, hemp, tobacco, etc.) ; Geo. B. 
Emerson, on Forest Trees ; Dr. Comstock, on Fish Cul¬ 
ture ; Donald G. Mitchell (Ik Marvel,) on Rural Econo¬ 
my ; &c., &c. • 
The exercises are to take place in the old Medical Col¬ 
lege buildings, now being newly fitted up with large lec¬ 
ture-rooms, for the use of the Scientific Department of 
Yale College. The arrangements are under the auspices 
of the College. The w hole is to be free, except the nom¬ 
inal charge of say ten dollars, or less, to meet the neces¬ 
sary traveling expenses of lecturers, and other incidentals. 
The plan reflects great credit upon the originator, Prof. 
John A. Porter, (Professor of Organic Chemistry, at. Yale 
College,) who may be addressed at Nevv-Haven, Conn., 
for full particulars. The occasion will doubtless be one 
of great interest to cultivators generally, and call togeth¬ 
er a very large attendance Irom all parts of the country.

Circulation of the Agriculturist. 
The number of subscribers has constantly gone upward 
from the day we first obtained full proprietorship until the 
present time, so that it is now greater than ever before. 
Some interest has been manifested to know what is the 
bona fide circulation, and efforts have been made in some 
quarters to depreciate the amount. To set all queries 
and surmises at rest, we present the statement be¬ 
low which will not be questioned. To make out a fair 
show of tho past, we give the average for a whole year. 
The present circulation is, of course, much larger (80,000 
are to be printed of this November No.)

tians who wish to know what is doing in other communions 
than their own. 
One grand object of the New-York Observer is to promote

virtue, law, and order, a champion of truth and righteousness 
in the earth.
