ing Jan. 1st, of $1,555,076.53. The expenditures
of the present year, including the
above sum of $341,249,40 are estimated
at #2,100,000. The entire cost of the
work, when comp!e:ed, it is now calculated,
will reach the modest sum of 80.000,000,
being double the original estimates ; and i:
will bo fortunate if it is not found at last,
that a stil further sum is neresssury. A
committee of the Legislature, we perceive,
estimate the entire cost of the work at a out
812,000,000. So mu<-h fir **pure an I
wholesome water," for lite city of NewYork.
So enormously fallacious are mod of the
calculations made* in advance, of the cost
of such wo ks, that the public hive lost all
confidence in them. The Erie Canal wi.
dening is another example. It was estima
ted at the outset, that the entire cos' of die
widening would not exceed $12,0 )0,000.
It is not now admitted that double this
amount would be reouircd, and by the time
# * 1 #
it should be finished, most likely another
$12,000,000 would have to he ud led.
Fifty-four secioos of die Aqueduct, out
of97, are already finished, and several others
nearly so. The whole length of Aqueduct
arcaed comph te, is aliout 26 tn
About six and a half miles of \que luct remains
to be completed in Westchester
County, and seven and a half of Aqueduct
and pipe-work on the Island of N<'w York.
Whole k'lig h of die Aqueduct to tli? dis.
tributing rcservo:rat Murray H II (42nd
Street) will be about 40 miles. Tise whole
work is tinder contract lobe finished in 1814,
except that embracing the crossing at II rlaeni
River, which ill not be completed till
August 1843. Should tlie entire Aqu-'duc',
wiih this exoep ion, he finished by the close
of the year 1841, the Commissioners have
determined to erect a temporary conduit
pipe, of proper dimensions, for conveying
the water across said river, by which means
our citizens will have the ben fit of die
Aqueduct oneor two years sooner ihan they
would by waiting for the high bridge to b>?
completed. The height of .his bridge, from
its base at the bottom of the river, to the top
of the parapets, will he aboui 138 feet. lis
length, about 1420 f-et. There will be 16
piers as supporters to the brdge, viz. G in
tho river,(which is 620 feet wide at this
poio',) and 10 on the land. Those in the
river are to be 20 feet by 40 at tho base, an I
about 84 in height, to he spring of the nrch,
dimensions as they rise. The estimated
cost of the bridge n $443 432.

A Man Cloaked with Beef Steak.?
While Air. Owen Downey, an elderly man,
was taking his supper, at the hotel of Mr.
C'tristy, Wilmington, D I. on Saturday
evening last, he suddenly f II from his chait.
as was first supposed, vvi:h an applectir fit.
Medical aid was almost immediately procured,
but it was of no avail, as he expbed
in a few minutes. On exam.nation it was
found that a piece of beefsteak, about two
inches in leng h, of which he was eating,
had lodged in his throat, andehoak< d him

therefore, be it reco ded, that every candidate

That man should be honored. "Anion:!

to the cultivator, whether of the vino 01 the I

or trees, as the mulberry and all kinds of orchard i
troc9, with the best manner of planting them , t
furnishing suitable hints for the improvement of 1
the various soils, breeds of cattle, and other |
6tock, with the treatment of the diseases to i
which thy are li iblo, and the management of
bees ami silk worms.
Tiie edito will endeavor to illustrate the
importuct principles upon which the art and science
of agriculture is founded, and 'o intro

Of morn than one million of Planters and
Horticulturists in the Southern Stiles, scarcely
two < lit of a thousand have an opportunity of
consulting any agricultural works, and are I
wholly guided by casual observations upon the
ways of their neighbors and ancestors; tor *
they possess no means oflearning ihe almost 1
daily improvements that are making in their
own particular branch of culture; neither can J
'hey b? come acquainted with the improved
varieties in trees, frui'8, vines, flowers, grain
and plants, which are continually introduced
to our notice from every portion of the habitable
globe, nor wi'h the various improvements {
and new inventions in the implements of tillage.
The publicaiion shall contain a full
account of all tho^e that are likely to benefit 1
our part of the country, and increase intelli- '
gence, virtue, happiness and prosperity at '

into the charming "moss" or "monthly rose," t
with the best manner of harvesting and pre- a
serving their crops and produce. t
We shall by no mea..s overlook the great
Southern staples, Cotton and Rice, for upon '
these, little information can be obtained from (
Northern publications.
From? hi kind promises tendered by friends
to the undertaking, valuable original contribu J
ti->ns may be anticipated ; and other correspondents
arc respectfully so icited to coinmu- (
nicato any information that may be interesting
or benefit ial to oihers< relating to their mode j

Moras Multicaali?.
The subscriber has for sale
a large number of very superior
Morus Multicaulis cuttings,
warranted genuine. Owing
to the culture, soil and distance
allowed in planting, the
proportion of large cuttings
is believed to be greater than
in any other lot offered jfor
sale in the country.
The following facts will shew
the great superiority of large
cuttings over small. A little
more than an acre of the field
in which the trees stand was
| manured in the hill last spring,
) at the lime of planting, with
rough stable manure. The
j manure was covered but not
mixed with the soil, and the
cutting planted near it; the
smaller separate from the
larger. When the drought
of spring came on, the
manure absorbed the moisture
from the earth around
the cuttings, and although ^
they sprouted, Very few * '- >
came up?in some rows *
not one. The stand Was in
proportion to the size of the
cuttings. Of twenty-five about
and over an inch in diamej
tcr, planted together, twenty- *
three grew and made fine
trees, now standing in their
places ; whilst within a few
feet ol them are rows entirely
vacant, though planted
at the same time, in the
same way, and with cuttings
from the same stock, only
smaller. The buds on a few
of the large cuttings were injured
in sawing; the two
which failed were, doubltess
. of this number. Here is con-*
elusive proof that large cuttings
such as a (great proportion
of those now offered
for sale) will succeed to perfection,
in a bad season, and
with treatment that destroys
most or all of small and common
size.
The Price is two and a
half cents per foot or half a
? i
cent per Dud,
A credit till January 1841
will be allowed on sums
over $1G0, and till January
1842 on sums over $400;
thus allowing ample time to
make the money with a handsome
profit out of the cuttings.
Satisfactory security will
be required before the der
livery of the cuttings. . * V
Anyone may constitute Kim- * '
self an agent for the sale
lings; and will be allowed 5per %
cent on sales amounting in alt *
to StefiO nv ten ner e.rnf on
VV w ? ? I
sales amounting to $,1000.?
The commission to be paid
| when the money is paid for the
cuttings ; or it the agent pre,
fers, he may lake it in cuttings
r when payment is satisfactorily
secured. In this way active
young men may procure
i themselves a good supply of
J Multicaulis,without any other
! cost than a little trouble.
The cuttings may be removed
and planted at any
11 time before the 20th Feb. or
! later if the spring is late.
