On the fourth page will he found some agricultural matter, and among it an interesting account of Mr. Webster's farm. The Great Western from England since our last, brought out the official annunciation of the ratification by Great Britain of the new treaty between that country and this. We this morning saw a most beautiful calf?the most beautiful, we think, which ever walked "Chcraw 11:11." Ho is a calf left by the fine Durham cow which Col. Marshall lost last sum. mcr. We regret to learn from the Colonel that he intends to send all his fine cattle to his plantation in Alabama. We yesterday saw a fine thorough bred Devon lmll of Majot McIver's which, being about to break up his stock of cattle in this neighborhood, he offers for sale very low. Any planter who wishes to cross his cattle with this beautiful breed has here an opportunity of doing so at little cost, and without risk. We have received from Col Marshall a load of hi? Indian corn forage, and upon examination find it a superior article. It is well known from the experiments made in manufacturing sugar from corn stalks, that the saccharine material of the stalk is spent in the formation and maturing of the grain ; and the sugar manufacturer therefore finds it necessary to pluck off the cars befote the grain is formed. But on b"oadejft corn 110 cars form. and, therefore the sugar formed in the stalk remains in it. It is therefore much better as food for cat. tie than top fodder, which is valuable only for the blades. The stalks of the parcel sent us by Col. Marshall arc small and soft, and taste much more like sugar cam? than cornstalk. It must prove crraleful as well as nutritious food for cattle. Wine Almanac.?We have received a copy of this publication from (.'apt. Vandcrford, who has a supply of it for s.dc at his store. It is a neatly printer J pamphlet of G2 pages into which is condensed much useful matter, that it cost the publisher-much labor to collect. Among the conten's are four distinct calenders and solar calculations,?one for each of the following places, Boston, New York, Baltimore, and Charleston; a table of the population of the several .States and several cities of the Union; a statement of the votes for President in Id Id, and for Governor in 1812, in the several counties of all the States in which these elections are m ide by popular vote ; a biographical sketch of Ilcnry Clay; essays on the differences between the present political partics, on the protection of domestic industry, &c., 44 with numerous other articles too tedious to mention." Our Whig readers would find it a valuable almanac, and Democrats who wish to preserve a statement of the Presidential vote of IS 10, for future reference, might find it worth more than the price. Cuf.raw, Nov. 10th, IS 12. Dear Sir,?Having understood that letters had been received here stating that a quarter per cent, more was charged for insurance by the Utilitv, we beg you to publish the following extract of a Lttcr from the largest Cotton House in the citv ol Charleston to a mercantile firm in this place.

FROM A LONDON TAPER Or TIIE 2?TII OF LAST MONTH. The tariff is working. We have in Birmingham American hams, equal in every respect to the best English, at 5per pound; and excellent pork at Id. The prices of fresh meat cannot iong stand under such a competition. In the south of Scotland we see that the best beef, which not very Iong ago was 8t/., has fallen to 5?7., and mutton and lamb to Id. and 5d.~-Birmingham Journal. The graziers of North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire arc already suffering grcat'y from the importation of cattle into Hull from Germany and Holland, and it is feared that parties who have been in the habit of selling their stock at Barton and Hedon markets will find Peel's tariff an indication of no ordinary character, as Hull is in more constant communication with the exporting countries than any other port in England. Tiie im[H>rtation may never be sufficiently extensive to affect the country at large, but farmers in the immediate neighborhood of seaports or markets that have supplied them, must lose much of their value in con sequence of the competition tliey will have to con. tend with.?Slandfurd Mercury. Apples arc selling at Loughborough at 2d. per peck ; the very best arc ii. They are so plentiful that the growers give them to the pigs. Guide to American Agriculturists.?The operation of the British tariff having opened an extensive market for American produce, we offer a f '\v rem irks and suggestions, which will be fmmd of the highest possible value, if attended to by American agriculturists: Pork.?Tlvc American is naturally too fat ami soft. In the United States and Canada it i> used as a relish ; fish and vegetables arc made palatable by its use ; but in England it i* used as a meat; hence it requires to be lean and firm, yet tender and plump; but even with these disqualifications the American might, at low prices, be gradually introduced if, in cutting and packing, the mode rnstomnrv in Ireland ??nrl Ilnmhurcr were adoDted. ! i w " ; ? -v?? ? s ? r i This is to cut the animal into four pound pieces, ; excluding the knuckles, head, and offal, whereby | each barrel of two hundred pounds will contain J fifty pieces. The barrels should have iron hoops in addition to the wooden en each bilge or end. Lard.?The American hitherto sent to Eng. land is not only soft, but not well tried out, and jhasa grainy appearance; whereas that made in { Europe, especially the finer sorts in bladders, has a fine, smooth, equal texture. The flavor of the j American is generally, ltowever, rich and sweet, t | Lt should be sent in bladders of the better sorts. Bl'Tter.?The great bulk of this article is so badly made that it has been unable to stand the passage, and generally proved mere grease. The original error appears to be in not working out the buttermilk and properly salting it when made.? Some of the butter in the United States, especially that produced on the western prairies, is of the j most delicious flavor when new, but much of it will spoil even its transit to the sea coast. A partial remedy for original careless manufacture is pickling the butter in strong tight casks, as is the case with meat; this never appears to be done in America, but would save much of the produce of the dairy. Cheese, like butter, is very carelessly made in America. When arriving fresh in England, in the autumn and winter, it is much approved of J for immediate use; but to keep it in bond, for future demand or for export, is sure destruction to the greater proportion of what is received ; for the latter purpose, especially, it is by no means lufficicntly pressed or salted. A manifest improvement, however, is evident from year to year. Bacon.?What has appeared from the United Une f.mlt r\f tlm tnn miioll fitf OldlCS I1US illC iauii vi liiu jrui u | tw>/ imwvm (W?| jnd is besides excessively salt, probably owing to its long delay in pickle before reaching the smokehouses at the Atlantic ports.?European. The New York Union, conducted byJudge Ncah was established for the avowed purpose of sustaining the administration of President Tyler, and is one of the ablest administration papers in the coun: try. On the subject of candidates for the Presidency it speaks as billows : 'Politicians of course will infer that the ; return of General Cass is preparatory to ' his being presented by his fiiends as a , candidate for the Presidency. His ability and integrity are undoubted : but General Cass will find the entire ground occupied by candidates, each having available capital, and quite ready to take the field, if indeed they may not be considered asoccuJ'ying their several stations already.? Among the Democratic candidates ire find President Tyler, Mr. Cnlhoun, Mr. Von Purer), Col. Johnson, and Mr. Buchanan spoken of, to which Gen. Cass rnav be added." i * Candidates for (he Presidency arc not easily made up. Great preparatory training and interest are required even to bring a man into the field with any prospect of success. Look at those who have interest anri friends, and see how they stand at this time. President Tyler with n strong party of the people with hitn, al1 ready in ofiiec, and considered a safe and | discreet man, and nothing to ho gained by changing him at this crisis fur any other.

NEW AND USEFUL INVENTION, Among the interesting improvements j exhibited at the Fair of the American In- ! stiiute, in New York, is a telegraph for' conveying information from the chambers of hotels to the office or bar. Its con- | struction and oncralion are exlremelv I | ~ i? 7 - ? # - : ! simple. Its nction is always certain ami . accurate. Bv means of this invention the occupant of any room in a hotel in which this system is used, can convey in- J . i t formation of his wants to the person in 'he office in as short a time as he could ring a common hell, and can keep the barkeeper constantly informed whether he is in j or out. The inventor is Samuel Frew I Fsq. of Alleghany county. Pa. The Secretary of the Massachusetts I j Horticultural Society, in his speech at the ! | late anniversary, said : " We are told that {( in some places in Prussia the children are i * truined up in such habits of honesty, that! * gooseberries, and plums,and cherries, and j other fruits may hang in luscious clusters | within their reach the whole season, and \ ( ripen by the sidewalks within arm's length j of every child, and yet never be touched ! hy a purloining hand." }, ; THE EARTHQUAKE AT CAPE HAYTIEM. | A from Cane Havtien. with I ' " I J ' II which the editor of the Nantucket Inqut-j J rer has been favoured, confirms nil the f j particulars of the wreck and devastation made by the recent dreadful earthquake. There is not, says the writer, literally 1 speaking, a whole tenantable house left in the place, and of the 9000 or 12 0 10 inhabitants, not less than three-fourths; are beneath the ruins. Here and there a room is occupied in the old town, but inost of the survivors live in a little valley culled ( Pessette, running parallel to the town, in j huts having neither floors nor windows, 1 and most of them inferior to the worst out- j houses on our farms. Of suffering, how. j ever, except among the sick, there is little; as vegetable food, the chief absolute necessary of life, is cheap and abundant,? that is, it may be had for the gathering. Some 200 or 300 couples, it is added, were married during the panic, and it is mentioned as somewhat remarkable, that the intense fear also created intense thirst. An Unique Boxing Mitch.?An English paper states that two of the divers engaged in breaking up tho wreck of the Royal George, qu irrelled and fought at the bottom of the sea, a few weeks since, for the honor of slinging up a large timber to the surfuce, the quantity got by each diver being carefully measured and registered in the j book of operations. In the scuttle, one 01 mem, j | who was being hauled up, kicked the other on J the head with his leadcn-solcd shoe, breaking the j lens of his diving helmet, so that the water rush. ! ed in upon him, but was kept in check by the | air from the pump on deck, which saved him from being drowned. He was, however, nearly ex- j hausted when pulled up from the bottom, so that i it was necessary to send him to the hospita', where he was recovered in a few days. The oth- I cr diver, who was unconscious of the severe in- j jury he had inflicted upon his competitor until they both came up, was very much grieved. A boxing duello, twelve fathoms down under the surface of the sea, is perhaps unparalleled in the history of mankind. 31 ORE WONDERFUL INVENTIONS.
