The answer must depend upon a great many circumstances, such a? the facilities of procuring food, and the conveniences of preparing it cost of labor, and tuic,: of the article in the market as also the propensity of the breed to lav on fa!.

Can a person who has to purchase a pig and the materials for fit'ruing him. make it more proflta' le than to pur-di-sp in the market at 0 c'.s. per pound? If he is a careful and saving man; he probably ran do it. A writer in the number of the Cultivator for Mav, ISrh?. makes the following statement: He purchased two pigs Dec. 23d, 1 SH 1 gave for them &( 50 they weighed 310 pounds, and were right months old. They were put in'o a w arm pen, nr.d fed regularly, with six quarts per (lav, (in three feed) of rye or corn meal, until the next ( )otolrr. The feed was then increased to nine quarts per day, until the 7th of December, when they were killed, being about twenty months old. and weighing 1138. They were fed on grain 3-10 days, and drank the refused milk of two cows, and bad a few weeds from the garden. He goes 011 to state that "if we allow one third offal in dressing, thev gained in live weight a fraction under three lbs. and a half per day, and cost each day about 10 cents.

''keep the rEorLs dack:' When Appius Claudioits I. end th? murmurings of the Komari citizens against his unjust measures, he cried out in his perplex itiy, "Keep the People back.'" I or a while, Iu3 commands were effectual. ami the swelling tide temporarily staved. rf indignation was but the efforts to smother the kindling spirit ol resistance were vain and fruitless and in a little while, the unworthy Decemvir was hurled from his throne to a prison. A modern ruler may see something in the la'.e movements of tb.c People, to remind him of this sudden subversion of fancied strength and security. He has had frequent cause menially to exclaim: "Keep the People back!" Hut "still they come." From "Maine to Georgia, "the rebellious spirit of the "democracy of numbers" has been manifested. From the wilds of Arkansas to the green mountains of Vermont, the thrilling voice of regenerated millions has been borne on the passing breeze. Neither the promises of gold, nor the mandates of a stern chieftain, have bpen sufficient to "keep the People back." They have rushed to the rescue of a violated Constitution they have gathered in their strength, and sundered the shackles cf a stupefying idolatry. Witness tb.c work of regeneration: In Maine, a State begirt with customhouses, and overrun with Government stipendiaries, a majority of 10,000 for die administration has been overcome, and the Whigs have triumphed by 500 majority. Ifiode I "land, small as ne is. has mvtsterd 1.000 for the cause of sound nritii.i plrs. and stands forth among the brave and the free. In Xeic Jersey, the slumbering spirit of the itevnlutiou has been lP-e.niniated. and the sons of the Jersey blues have proved themselves worthy of their sires. They, too, have furnished a thousand "good men and true," over and above the number necessary to prostrate thecohoits of power. (onnedlru! has given symptoms that when the country is really in danger, her people will rather in their strength, and aid the good work. Maryland is steady in the cause of the Constitution, and w ill not faultcr. Pcrtnufremia has given unequivocal signs that the seeds of regeneration are quickening, and that good fruit wii! be ripened for the general harvest. Last year the Van Hurcn majority in the Legislature was 38, now it is but 12. Xnrh C nroliaa, that once slumbered in the consciousness of her power, a id was overrun hv the enemy, has awakened, and given tokens that she will not be caught rapping. Georgia hrls maintained her integrity, and elected a Whig Governor; twice proving, when the qnc'stion was fairly . testetl, that she can'ft tf'tol herself under the banners of Mr. Van Huretl. j r imrs?ee, the home of truly gallant spirits, has renounced a base idolatry, and ( in spite of Gen. Jackson's influence and dictation, has given a majority of 20,000 for the Whig ticket. Ohio. whose sov r dgnty is now misrepresented in the Senate, has overcome all the difficulties of an unprincipled system of "Gerrymandering." She now has n Whig Governor and Legislature, and a true Whig majority in the Lower House of Congress, and counts at least 10,000 majarilv against the "spoilers." Indiana, a short lime since, wis- on the side of power by a majority of 3,000 she now counts 17,000 for the good cause. k'rnhirl-rt ha added 'irv evidences of j

R. Frigate Independence. Cronstadt, August 12, 1837. 5 On the morning of July 28th, in the .-, . r r p. , , . . iVju i 01 r in ami, we ueacneu a u iruauiuu" . ,. . . ' ' . " i us, anil sireicu ng across uie uircctiou in ... h ,. , . which we were standing, a long, and reg- " b ular line of sail I hey provcU to lie a Russian Fleet of thirteen vessels, eight of them being ships of the Line. I hey presented one of the most imposing sights I have ever witnessed on the ocean. A moderate breeze gradually drew us near each other, in an easy and dignified manner, becoming both the noble fleet and the stranger it welcomed to these waters. At a proper distance, we made our howto the Russian Flag, by a salute of thirteen guns, which was immediately returned fron? '.bo weather shin, a fine three dettke-r, bearing the Admiral's Flag. Upon making my way to the deck, early the next morning, I found our ship in the condition ofa'manof war en'.eringa port All the sea officers and crew at their respective stations, the lead-man in the chains an nouncing in measured notes ihe depth of water, after each cast of the lead; the idlers (surgeon, purser, captain of marines, chaplain, ect.) from the most advantageous position they could obtain, making their observations and rpmarks upon the new objects and scenes before them. In a short time we were anchored off Cronstadt, in the middle of numerous and elegant Russian men of war, of all sizes, from schdoner3 up lo threc-deck-ets. Our anchor had but little more than reached its bed, and the litter scarcely cleared up when a handsome, man-of-war-looking and richly ornamented steamboat drew near to our ship, and a larg2 barge with many officers in it, left her and pu! iee. to us. 1 ne ne.rgc wag siccreu ny a person wearing a v. hite cap and crimson band. After all the olliccrs had reached our deck, where they were received by ihe Commodore, and asked into trie cabin. the individual who had steered the barge came on board and sauntered about the ship alone. I regarded him with at tention, and will describe to you his ap pearance. His frame was over six ect 111 heigtit erect, powerful, and well proportioned; a somewhat full, regular featured and agree able face, with a lively, keen blue eye. the whole having an expression of calm, cool determination and active energy, particularly about the slight compressed 'mouth, which was over-hung bv a white moustache. His dress fitted hint well, and was composed of an olive frock coat, destitute of ornament other than a small red cord round the cuffs atul edges, light blue pantaloons, with a similar red cord down the seams, and the snow-white crimson-banded cap above mentioned. Instead of following the officer lo the more showy and pulor-liko parts of the ship, be crossed his hands behind him.nd walked forward among the men. examin ing them niinti-.ely; as he returned to the quarter deck, he stopped to look at the marine guard and taking a musket from one of them, he closely inspected it, opening the lock, drawing the ramrod, etc. Then noticing one of the ladders which led lo the lower decks and apaitments. he unceremoniously and quickiy slept down it. ruid proceeded thus to every pari of the ship. You will wonder why I have been thisminute in deseribingthis individual until I tell you he was the EwruRop. Nicholas. Autocrat oT all th-j Iiussi is; the unlimited ruler of sixty millions of beings, with every head, from that of the slave to the nobleman, at his disposal; commander of art artny numbering more than half a million of men, and Patriarch of the Greek or National Church in all, the most pow erful niotiarrh in the world. To see him is to read the rapid marches of his nation, not long ago in a state of barbarism, and now rivalling all others in elegance and improvement. That nothing mav be lost, he is himself a practical man a sailor, and an engineer. If any thing worthy of adoption exists in our ship, it has been noticed, and will belong to ihe n.tssian Ns.vy. but fram the appearance of his ships, I am inclined tr think he is as well able to teach ss fit to learn.

The temptations to visit ike splendors of Peterhoff, prevailed against scruple's of conscience, and inclination justified itself by the pleaofa seldom occurring opportunity, and the maxim of, "In Rome," fcc W.

We have received a letter from Madison county III., under the date of October 20t.Ii , which relates some curious fact in regard tof certain Van Ditren editors of that State. I: appears that Seth T. Sawyer, of Alton, was employed not long ago as a public printer in lliinios, and that he agreed with the V. B. authorities of the State 'o do a certain job. By the contract he was to buy the materials as low as he could in Cincinnati and then to do the printing charging to the Slate the purchase price and the cost of freight togeth er with a specified percentage for his own labor. In due time he made his statement and rendered his account to the Slate Auditor for payment. The account was paid and filed away in the Auditor's office at Vandalia Sawyer, all the while com plaining bitterly of the small amount he was receiving. After a short time, however, the Auditory began to reflect upon the amount of the bill, and thought it was much larger than had usup.lly been paid, and on examination, it proved so. Thereupon he wrote immediately to the gentleman in Cincinnati, from whom the materials had been purchased by Sawyer, and requested them to forward a correct bill of ihe amount. The bill was accordingly forwarded to the Auditor, who on cornparing it with the bill furnished, by Sawyer and purporting to have been wiitten by the same individuals, found that thi two did not rgree either in band writing or the amount the amount of the one differing 1,200 from that of the other. Sawyer was instantly charged with swindling; and as there ws no room for denial or equivocation; he acknowledged the fact and confessed judgement for 1,200. Execution came out aeninu hia properly, but the Sheriff relurned "no property found;" and when the A lton Court sat a few dm 5 agr at Vandalia, the Grand Jury found against him a bill for forgery, a crime punishable with a few years imprisionmeui in the Alton House of Correction.
