THE CULTIVATOR. 
August, 
the second volume is before us. It commences with the 
republication of Stephen’s Book of the Farm, an 
elaborate work, originally published in Scotland, and 
which has been highly commended in that country and 
England. The republication will be continued till the 
work is finished. The Journal department will be 
conducted as heretofore. We invite the attention of 
the public to this work. $5 per year. 
American Journal of Science and Art. —The 
July number of this capital work is received. Among 
the contents, which are varied and valuable, we have 
read with interest the articles on the Ethnography and 
Archaeology of the American Aborigines, by S. G. 
Morton; on the Evidence of Fossil Footprints of a 
Quadruped allied to the Cheirotherium, in the Coal 
Strata of Pennsylvania, by Cha?. Lyell, Esq.; on the 
Physical Structure of Plants, by Dr. D. P. Gardner; 
Facts relating to the Great Lakes, by Prof. C. Dewey, 
&c. We have also been interested by a communication 
on the Zeuglodon Remains of Alabama, by S. B. Buck- 
ley. As it had been conclusively proved that the 
bones of the Zeuglodon, which Mr. Koch exhibited in 
New-York and elsewhere, under the name of Hydrar- 
chos, belonged to different individuals, some might be 
induced to doubt whether the skeleton of the Zeuglo¬ 
don which Mr. Buckley obtained in Alabama, now in 
possession of Prof. Emmons of this city, really belonged 
to one animal. Mr. Buckley’s communication is di¬ 
rected chiefly to this point, in reference to which he 
fives a detailed and authentic account of the manner in 
which this skeleton was procured, clearly proving that 
all the bones belonged to one individual. The Journal 
is published by Messrs. Silliman & Dana, at Nevv- 
Ilaven, on the first day of every second month—$5 per 
year. 
Doctor Lardner’s Lectures. —We have received 
the Fourteenth Number, which completes the series, 
and contains the title-pages, indexes, &c., for both 
volumes. The publishers state that the complete series 
are now printed in two large octavo volumes, and neatly 
and substantially" bound in muslin and sold at $4.50. 
We do not know how so much valuable knowledge can 
be purchased in any other way at so cheap a rate. Pub¬ 
lished by Greely & McElrath, Tribune Buildings, 
New-York. 
The Son of Temperance and Rechabite. —This 
is a work just commenced in this city, devoted to the 
promotion of temperance under the auspices of the Or¬ 
ders of the Sons of Temperance and Rechabites The 
first number makes a very pretty appearance, forming a 
magazine of forty pages octavo. It is to be issued 
monthly, at $1 per year. Edited by J. Stanley Smith, 
(late editor of the Albany Citizen,) and published by 
John Tanner. As an instrument of good, we wish 
the work success. 
FOREIGN. 
We have, by the Cambria, our English and Scotch 
papers to the 1st of July. The new Corn and Tariff! 
bills passed the House of Lords, and became a law on 
the 25th of June. Shortly after this event, Sir Robert 
Peel tendered his resignation to the Queen, which was 
accepted. Lord John Russell has been appointed in 
his place, and has formed a cabinet, which have as¬ 
sumed the duties of the government. The prospect is 
highly flattering for an early and abundant harvest. 
The season had been uncommonly warm, with timely 
rains, and all crops have flourished well. There is, as 
yet, little or no complaint of the potato disease either 
in Great Britain or Ireland. Flour and grain is abun¬ 
dant in the English markets, and was being rapidly re¬ 
leased from bond, under the nominal duty of four shil¬ 
lings per quarter. Cotton had slightly advanced in 
price. American provisions were plenty in the princi¬ 
pal ports. 
A paper of later date, received by the Great Britain, 
speaks of the decline in prices of breadstuffs as follows: 
“ We noticed in our last the immense quantities of flour 
and wheat which had been released from bond when the 
new act came into operation. Flour, in consequence, 
has declined to the extent of 6s. a barrel, and wheat 
nearly 10s. a quarter. Every one anticipated a serious 
reduction, but the fall has fully equalled the worst ap¬ 
prehensions of importers. Every day brings vessels 
from Canada and the U. States, laden with flour, which 
has been shipped in anticipation of better prices, the 
fall of which, on the eve of a prolific harvest, will 
prove quite as injurious to the British farmer as to the 
American exporter.”
