If they would untite in suspending those appropria tions that would bear suspension for a year, they could get their prnportion of ihis $9,300,000. And if they did not unite. they would lo;e all. He contended that this road might be suspended for a year withou? any material injury, except per haps to a few individuals. And msiuht the Ilarbor.bill, the Fortifiezition bill, atnd other bills; nod lie said considering the state of the Treasury, and the e:nbarrassed condi tol of things it many se-:tins. they ought to be suspended fhr lte present; and even Ietlemtien who supportecd them might.with greht propriety, vote for such a course un der presenit circumstances. He warned gen tlemen who were identified with the for (ties of the present Admiirjistration to be ware how they voted large appropriations. Their opponents would in inany instances eagerly go for heavy appropriation,i evn if it left the Treasury perfectly destilitte; and they would denounce you for yotir in beclity, ind treat you %tih contempt for the very embarrassments they had aided to brimg upon you. Mr. P. said the true strength of the Administrrttion at present was t real refornt and retrenchint, and their weakness was in heavy zisimrsements and ant embarrassed Treasury. Thos%e nho lookett (or ste ss in tlie present administra tion ought to withhold appropriation:s this year, at least except on those measures ah solutely necessary. Let thei make no calls fornew Treasury totes-britig the ex pentitures within the income. Upon this poiunt Mr. P, said he was glad to hear the chairman of the Chetnittee of Ways and means explaim that he (lid not intend to ask for any niore Treaisury notes than wereau thorized by the law of October last- that lie only desired to'i'e-issue those which had been reseived into the Treasury. For in stance $4,000,000 had been received.

I shall, of couirse, leave it en t irely to your discretion. wvhether the scrap! SI forward yotu, lhe worthy otf publlication c1 t not. There aire nmany useful planits, which - are easy (if cultivation, anid which wottl y .dd greatly to the health, variety anid econ - omny of the table, if they wvere more eener e ally initroduced into our gardens. Amoni ni the great variety of edlible vegetables, thos a w hich cnn be rendered available for w"into e use, are of the first importance, as that clas e is comnartati-vcl smallt and vegetahle searee in the winter season. Many of these are neglected, for wat of knowlevce how to raise, poreserve and prepare them or use. Celery i.' a plant as easily raised as cabbage, and ns ensily preserved, and may be used as an excellent sailad through the w-ljole winter; yet how few are there who raise it, or at all know its grmd qualities? Some years ago, I becenme theoretically ne (juninted with tile character and culture of this plant; but such were the seeming dif dertake its culture. Alore subsequently, I made the attempt, and succeeded very well im raising it, bul lost all mny labor by not knowing how to preserve it. I adopted Cmthers ptan of placing two boards in a roo-like position on the top of a ridge; but when I cattle to trke my plants they were all rotten. This failore canu%ed me to aban don raising that plant for several years; but being fImid of the veSetable, I aunin nf tempted its cultaire, and look the most sim ple plan for its preservation, In'd -ucceeded to mny entire satistnction. Since then. I raise it every year, and have it onl the table every day through the whole winter. I will now proe:cl to give a detail of my mode of raisimg it. I sonetic seed in' a warm situation oi tile first of April-a few seed will suilice, as I00 lilsts will make it pletily for a common 1;,iimilv. In fie latter part of June, or first lav of July, the plants iust be set tilt; let the trench lie prepnred as follows; for 100 plaits, dig a trench 50 fbt int legth, and tenl ine. s deep-lie width of the spade is anlicient. In this trench put itwo inches of well rotted ma nure, or rich vegetable mold. into which set the plaiitsu 1mibes apart, and imimedi ately after setitiX, waier them. If tIII plants are covered by hyiig boards length wse over the treitch, for t wo of 1hree davs and watered eacli day. it will treatly faeil iate their srikingm root, etid insure their growth. As lie plants grow, gradualIVlly fill Iup the trenchti. atiid cnmi e tio earth ihem up every two weeks lil 1i*il, takiig care not tio cover the top bud. By tiulS earthing up a ridge ol --ome two feet or 18 inches will be raised at the emil of tle seaso nhout the tune of securing cabbage, celery m ust also be secuired. I always choose a titme when the ground is wet, aod begin at one end of the ridge, and clear away the earth, dig them carefitily ip by the roots, with as nuclh dirt ms will adhere to them, and pack them.away in the cellar, placingthom in a %V%%out any fmr:her attention ; aid i re at all times handy for ise. If any admirers of this plmit should be so unforttnate as not to have a cellar. I presume if the plam- should be taken pll) as diseribed. and packed in the same inautier, they might be successively preserved by coverimg with dirt,-in the satne way that farmers cover their potatoes or turnips. A most valuable invention is said to have Ieeti iade by a laborin- man in E.igland, ol a steam engmie possessiing great power and occtipymng a very imitied space. In time description furtished by the Albany Daily Advertiser, we think we find much to recommend this ew engite,, particularly in cases where slince is of great importance. It is also said to be very cheap in construe tion, while tile principle Onk which it acts is peeliarly simople. The steim is ndmitted through a hole in a hollow circular belt, (attached to a wall,) upon whiclih it revolves and it works by at diagonal ation against atn upright piton, beimg forced otit of the pressure by a diago nal plate whicb divides the interior into two portions. 'rite rotary action is beatiti fully managed by meaas of a perfectly sphirical stemn-light jioint, at the end of a fixed inclined aria, towards which jitint the upper and lower surlile of the interior part of the cylinder are made to slope, after the forn of the exterior of atn hour glass. Up on these the diagonnm perorms its revolu tione, -uchl movement etiting permitted thro' an openig. (from the eirunference to the centre,) e<ptmt in wvidth to the thickness of the befojre nmned ttprightt piston, up anud dotwmn the sides of whlichl it ctontitlnally works. TIo thle centrte of the bott om of' the cylinmder is fixed a shaft, havimng attnehed to it a wheel which conu tnicaites the tootin1 that tmay lbe r'e<pired-nd t his is till the mna chinecry iof whtich it consists.

Is thecro any thing in the popular notion of a rise amnd fall-a tide-once in seven years? Are there any authenticated facts or observations indicating such a tide? It strikes us that the phenomenon is a curious one, and worth in'vestinatiog.
