Extract from Dr. Miliars Review of Eighteenth Century. 4It ia worthv of remark that newspa-
! pers have almost entirely changed their
torm and character within the period milder review. For a long time after they were first adopted as a mediuciof ccn.Unication to the public, they mre confined, j in general, to the mere statement of facts. jBu they have gradually assumed an of
fice more extensive, and risen to a Ciore important station in society. Thsy have become the vehicles of discussion in ohich the principles of government, the inter-
ests of nations, the spirit and tendency c
public measures, and the public and private characters of individuals are all arraigned, tried and decided. Instead therefore, of being considered now, as they once were, of small moment in socie ty, they have become immense political engines, closely connected vrith the welfare of the state, and deeply involving both its peace and prosperity." 'Our own country in particular, and especially for the last 12 or 15 years, has exhibited a spectacle i ever before dis played among mcn,ad even yet without a parallel on earth. It is the spectacle,
not ot the p ametl and the weaimy omy but of the iireat body of the people: even a 1 arze portion of that class of the commu nity which is destined to daily labour, having free and constant access to publicprints receiving regular information of
even occurrence, attending to the course of : .olilira! aflYns, discussing public ti.eas-
ores, and having thus presented to them '-onstant excitements to the acquisition ot k -owlidoc, and continual means oi obtain
ing it.
i The genernl effects of this unprecedent ! miltipli alion diffusion of public prints ! form a subject of most interesting at d ! complex calculation. When well coodtic-

From the Xitional Intelligencer of March 14. A final disposition, we learn, was made yesterday, in the supreme court, of the various questions arising under state insol vent laws, which have been so repeatedly argued, and so long uuder advisement. The result, is. that where the contract is
made subsequent to the law, and is made
between citizens of the state where me law exists, a discharge under such law,
is a valed detence: 6o also.it maae wim the cilizen of another state, if such citizen
shall choose to sue, and the causa proceed to judgment in the courts of the state where the law exists. But if the contract
be made between a citizen of the state where the law exists and the citizen ofan..iliAr ctfn the nn rt v claiming under the
contract may sue in hi-Jconstitutional forum
the courts oi the UniifU oiaies, anu charge under a state insolvent law will not bar the action. As to contracts csade before the passage of such laws, our read t re nrp aware that thev are not held sub-
icct to the operation of those laws, even
between citizens oi ine same Biaie. HnnTiniTLTIIRAL ITEr.!S.
Erom Loudon's Gardener's llaazine, for 1023. Selected from the American Faroer. Packing and preserving seeds. Uu Curator Aoilbrson, of the Chelsea bctsniq u,.a ho rprpived about a yesrago,
lint un, vj , - . rfrom the East Indies, 24 ceeds or nuts, of lve of them were
carefully wrapped up in rjaper, not one of which germinated; aud twelve of them oere bedded in powdered charcoal, every one of which grew freely. Louden eays ugar will not preserve the Germinating nricciple of seeds, as has been often stated. Charcoal, or carbco, .is tiaily develo
ping new properties subservient to tho benefit cf man. It has beeocss ir.-ispenc ble to most of the arts; it arrets putref;i tion in vegetable and animal matter; it pa riSes air and water; it constitutes our fuel, and a materia food for plants; and it pre g?rves the germinating principle in ee Cz in their passage through tropical climates.J 11. Pronvelle, of Versailles, finds that certain beautiful varieties cf tho rose Iocs their improved colors and return to their primitive state, xi hen kept on th?ir own roots. He, therefore, grafts them cn stocksof wild rose; which besides placing the flowers at an agreeable height from the ground, retains their variety in perfection. The French wild rose grows to the height of from 6 to 12 feet; end the finer varieties, budded at different heights, exhibit a diversified and beautiful appearance. Two goosebery bushes are described i3 the Horticultural Transactions; the bran ches of one, atthe seat of the late Sir Jocepb Banks, extended 12 yards in cirruo ference, and produced seven:! pecks of fruit annually. It is manured vnth soap suds and the draining of the dung hill. Another is trained to a building; measures fifty three feet from one extremity to the other, and produces annually fn n C to 5 pecks of fruit. Our summf r- are too warm to caltivata the gooseberry to high perfe. lu . ; besides, we are sorely afflicted with the mildew, which often covers the fruit when half and two thirds grown. T.Iy gooseberries have not been free frem this malady until last 6ummer. In the autumn preceeding, they were manuied with stable dung, during winUr urine was poured about their roots. Those thus dressed were free fiom mildew J ROLLING OK SEEDS. I;i all the system of Farmit g and Gar' denxng there is not a more useful toed than the ROLLER. Most of the compbiiota
we un itc ot seecs noi gr 'K.isowhiij their I" i ir-g rolled O. 1 ry, Spii g O ion, and indeed almost every other Ui.d of seeds, will iwl egetate, except t'C ground is rolled after the seed is sown, or except a heavy rain falls, which a swets the same purpose. Whet, there is no roller on the primises, the following may answer as a substitute: After the seed issown,and the ground well raked, take a broad hoard or hoards, of the length of the bed lay them fiat on the ground, beginning at one edge of the bed, walk tht wh le length of the board; this will press the soil on the seeds: then shift the board till you have tUu- gone over the whole bed and in dry weather cover your seed beds for forty eight hmirs with bords laid flat on the soiL. and the seeds will corns up almost immediately; -.. . i it
and if no boards are at hand treao in mo seed with your feet, or strike on the 1 eds with the blade of your spada or shovel. Signs of the times. We ere far from being disposed to draw, from facts which arc kuown,any inferences which they do not warrant. Still less bail we state as a f-ct any thing which we do not psr?oi:a!i7 know. We wish to be distinctly understood as giving no authority of oun to what rumor says, when we state it as aconxnoa report; that a regular weekly Caucus waa held, during the last cession, and particularly during the latter part of it, composed f Memhprs of the Opposition, ct which
some ons of tho number presided and cr.othor acted as secretary ; that, when tho formally organized, public questions wero there discussed, with reference to thir political expediency, and their bearing oa the Presidential lection; and that regular vni wpre taken, the whole body -con
sidering itself bound by the dechicr cf the major part of it. V7e ibsll net pro
tend to narr.e the place ot reeling, mucu less the number or names cf these who at
tended. It is raid, however, that r.J ibeto
particulars are susceptible of proof. Nevertheless, if f.Ir Centca, T-lr. Dif en:cn,
r.lr. Rowan, crany other of te rcrpectable gentlemen nbo belcsg to the party, will give his word cf honor that co such mMtiris wero held et anv time during
the cesricru cr for any purpose, we chaU vrith heartfelt pleasure ccntradict tin whc!3 story, cJ vindicate the .Cppcsilicp , from co cross a calumny as. if fclse, tbb
