IT The following extract of a letter from New York is not without interest. "Affairs in the city are as usual. The same continued and continual current of people flows through the streets in all directions. The same apple venders stand wrapped in their scanty cloaks at the corners, shivering in the cold March wind. The same little and great beggars, day after day present their claims upon the charity of the passers by, and the Newsboys dog you at every step. A new plan has been started for the amelioration-of the condition of these last, and within a fortnight a lodging room has been fitted up with berths and and good bedding for them in the upper story of the Sun Buildings on Nassau Street, Arrangements are made for teaching them, and to deliver lectures to them. A reading room and library, and room for the Superintendent are connected with the lodging room, it is a philanthropic movement. The charge for lodging is six and ono fourth cents a night. That gives them the use of tlje reading room, library, and a wash bowl sonp and water. It is well patronized, and must prove of great service to them. Industrial schools as they term them, have been started in different parts of the city by charitable and benevolent ladies, the design of which is to teach the female poor children to read &c., and also plain scwingr In Brooklyn there is one, where they not only teach them, but give them a good dinner. These schools meet twice a week. I do not know how many of them there are in the city, but (here arc several, and great good is resulting from them."

SENATORIAL BIVPERS.—The N^vtfor Jkrttld hits off those Senators who are in the habit of dodging all important questions that come up for actiort, by absenting themselves from their seats. It calls them "dippers," in allusion to the little cunning wild duck of that name which dodges the flash of gun by diving under water and then popping up again after the dischnrge, as bold as ever. The Herald says that "no 'dipper' will ever get nominated for President."

We doubt the wisdom of the Herald's prediction, for it is these very "dippers" that the easy people, year after year, permit themselves to be fooled by. Just before an election they are the bravest, most patriotic, self-denying and straight-for-ward fellows alive but afterwards, when stern duty takes aim at them—pop and we see nothing but a slight rippling of water! This is the age of cmph&kws politicians. "Dippers" are found, not only on the great ocean of politics, but swarm on all the little creeks and njiid-puddles that empty thereinto.

They are compelled to make them very secure, te preserve them from the severe winter. Large numbers of the buffalo freeze or starve to death in winter, in the snow banks which for months are found in drifts of from five to ten feet in depth, and numbers of them are drowned in crossing the Missouri river in large herds, by crowding upon one another."

1,13TTF.U FKOIU SWEDEN.'

Rev. Mr. UNONIOUS has received a letter from Sweden, of which the following is nn extract: J2?j 1L at $VS STOCKHOLM, Feb. 28, 1854, «"I

The Emperor of Russia has recognizcd the neutrality of Denmark, but protested against that of Sweden, although the State documents in both instances were drawn up precise alike. He has, it is said, sent some menacing notes to the Swedish government, which latter in return, has declared that it will abide by it its first determination, which is a strict neutrality. It is said also, that the Emperor of Russia demands Gottland of Sweden. Couriers arrive from St. Petersburg frequently. Several regiments have been ordered by ^FC!^ Government to Gottland others to Grislehann. All the provincial governors in SSveden, who have been in Stockholm during the sitting of the Diet, have been ordered homa to their respective seats, also the colonels and many officers to their regiments. Large armaments, both naval and military, aro in preparation, and the Representatives have consented to vote 3,000,000 rix dollars banco toward the defence of the country. Every thing looks warlike, stilly some speak of peace. All provisions, &cM are rising, and we look anxiously to the future. But during all this, we are working strongly in the Diet for internal improvemnts and the suppression of the manufacture of whisky.

P. S.—Since the above was written, we have received news that the Emperor Nicholas has had a fit of apoplexy, which is declared not to be dangerous, but which has obliged him to take to his bed.

NEW COSSCLAR APPOINTMENTS. The President has made the following nominations to the Senate: Robert L. Longheard, of Penn., at Dublin, Ireland Wm. L. Winans. at St. Petersburg, Russia and Augustus W. Scharit, of Missouri, at Falmouth, England.

's tr It is proposed to ettt a canal from Lake Michigan to the Illinois river, throwing such & volume of water into that stream as to render it narigable at all seasons.

(ttrlt has cost the General Government the snog saaii of $664,000 to experiment with Captain Hunter's sub-marine wheel. The result attained is that the wheel it of no value.

0^7" Some months ago when the Sen ate began to act upon the appointments of the President, made daring the recess of Congress, Geo Sanders, Consul to London, was summarily rejected by that body.— The reason of his rejection was, no doubt, the caustic, not to say saucy manner in which when editor of the Democratic Heview, be treated Gen. Cass and other "old fogies" of tljat variegted party. But confirmations and rejections are done up in secret session, and of course the whys and wherefores do not always come to light. The ostensible reasons given however, in explanation of Sander's rejection, are that while conducting the Review he attacked the wife of a distinguished politician, and that since he has been in office in London, he has been a regular correspondent of the New York Herald, communicating matters relating to his office to that sheet instead of corresponding directly with the Government at Washington. Sanders has written a letter-missive directed to nobody in particular, but "To my countrymen at home and abroad," reviewing the action of the Senate and io allusTflta to this com-

icy of sending everything to Washington and nothing to the people. I felt it to be my duty, as consul, to constantly report such facts to the people as I might think important t? their interests. And in these days of oceaii steai7?flrs and telegraphic wires, nothing is of consequence unless promptly published. No one cares to pore over a diplomatic correspondence, if it be even but a few months old. Secret diplomacy is fast dying out here, and I hope it will not receive vitality in America."

Sanders has got a spring in his back bone as stiff as that of a new jack-knife, and whoever attempts to shut him up must look out for cut fingers!

We know of no man, just now, more likely to seize fast hold of the affections of Young America than this same Sanders, and it will be no strange thing if he is found some future day thundering at the gates of power in Washington Democracy has such a deep sympathy for the obscure and the oppressed!

CORN CTDJLXURE.

Plough your ground just before you want to plant, and harrow well. Mark outwith stakes and a sled with three runners. The driver standing direetly over the middle runner, can beep the stake in range with some object se lected before sLarting, and thus strike "bee lines." The distance of the runners apart must be regulated bv the latitude and the strength of the land. The ground being laid out in peifectly straight rows plant immediataly. Wnen the corn is up so that the rows can be distinct-

ly seen, take fh the field a common size plough and a good, tractable norse. The plough must not be cr.o of those things callca in modern

phraseology, "corn ploughs" but a good, sub stantial plough which will turn a furrow well and which is also pretty wide on the bottom Plough from the hill, and plough close. Some farmers who plough from the hill, are content to plough a little furrow eight or ten inches from the row, going back plough so'near the center as to fcnrn part of this furrow back again. Tills will not do the plough must run close as possible without ploughing up the corn it does the corn much good, letting the sun in around the toots and warming the ground. If there is danger of undermining the hill too much, the land-side may be turned up a little, so as to make the furrow a little shallow on that side, but be sure that your shire is-sharp, so that it slips over nothing, and your plough bright so that it turns the furrow well. Plough it thi.s way, and then in a few days cross it just the satne. If it is well done there will not be more than from six to eight inches square left in the hill, all the rest of the land is iresh. It may now be hoed, but it must be hoed from the hill, and all the weeds cleaned out. Then plough to the hills as is usually done the two last times, being sure to have the furrows not only meet but lap a little, and by that time ths corn will bo large enough to shade the ground. By ploughing these four times, (twice in a row each time,) allowing proper intervals for the quack to just get a start, then meeting it and turning It under again, it will, at the end of the season, be almost as effectually killed as by the summerfollowing. The only difference is is, there will, sometimes be a little left in the hill but I have seen the grass quite subdued by puruing this course two or three years.

This is the cheapest and only good way to tend corn. A few years ago, a brother of the writer, had been using the cultivator in a pieee of corn, which was quite full with a wild morning glory. He had cultivated a number of rows when my father came on a visit to him, and of course went to see his corn. He stronglyprotcsted against the use of the cuttivator, and urged my brother^a-i^trKt«»ce tfag ptOW7 "fmrpoge ofsnowing him the difference in the efficiency of the two implements. The trial was made nnd the result was very decidedly for the plow. The next day a little rain fell, and soon the cultivated rows were hardly to be distinguished from those which had nothing done to them, while the ploughed rows were clear and fresh for along time. This is not all. I do not place reliance on a single isolated fact, but having had frequent opportunities of comparing, I have uniformly found the result the same.

If your readers will look at page 259 of the Patent Office Report for 185ST-3, he will see how an able Ohio farmer raises corn.

StRicnstNE.—The Columbus (0.) Democrat says that distillers employ strichnine in the manufacture of whiskey. It is a recent discovery that this deadly drug increases the yield of whiskey per bushel of corn. In some places this poison is used to such an extent that hogs die in great numbers from drinking the still slop.— And we may add, says the Baltimore Clipper, that it is known that this deadly poison is used in other liquors beside whiskey. A few months ago some "pure Cognac Brandy" was analyzed in Washington and was found to contain stiichnine.

JAMES RAYMOND the well known manager of circuses and menageries, died at Carmel. Putnam county New York., on the 23d inst. He originated the business about thirty years ago, and imported the first elephant ever shown in the United States. .Among his property, which is valued at $1,500,000, are the Broadway theatre and Washington Hotel, in the city of New York.

A GOOD SPBCULATION. —The Boston Traveler says that owing to the very meagre supply of Russia hemp in that market* and the small amount coming forward, prices have greatly advanced. It learns that a leading house in that city, some time since, purchased in Russia about $25 000 worth, which will soon arrive at that port, for which they have been offered $100,000, leaving them a profit of nearly seventy-five thousand dollars.

Poe-try.—We received, a few days ago, a quasi rythmatical communication from somebody in Greencastle, whose Pe gasus wants shoeing, "bad." We do not wish to chill the budding ambition of the writer, but must advise him to practice more in private, before he attempts to charm the public car with his minstrelsy.

tCT A Prohibitory Liquor Law has passed both branches of the New York Legislature* and is now in the hands of the Governor, who, it is thought, will sign it.— According to its provisions, it is to take effect on the first of December next. It forbids the sale of intoxicating liquors, except by persons specially licensed to retail them for mechanical or medicinal purposes, and a sale for any other purpose, or by any other person, is punishable by forfeiture of the liquor, and a fine of $25 for the first offense, $50 for the second, and for the third offense $100 fine, and imprisonment for not less than thirty days, nor more than six months. It provides also for the search of premises where, under the oath of one or more persons, liquor may be alleged to be sold.—Slate Jour.

TALL AND HEAW.—In the town of Norwich, in this State, says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, lives a family consisting of a father, mother, four sons and daughter, which for the weight and heigh* of the members we consider most remarkable. The father and sons average 6 feet 11^- inches, are well formed, and not at all inclined to corpulency. The father is 76 years of age and weighs 204 lbs the moth er is 68 years old and weighs 201 lbs. the oldest son is 47 and weighs 238 lbs. the second son is 44 and weighs 257 lbs. the third son is 40 and weighs 236 lbs. the fourth son is 28 and weighs 225 lbs. the daughter is 26 and weighs 203 lbs. A son who died at the age of 20 weighed 200 lbs. Including this one, the aggregate weight of the family is 1764 lbs and the average weight is 220£ lbs. We think Norwich may safely challenge the State to produce as long and as heavy a family as this.

The Chicago Tribune, of a Tate date, says: "We learn from the Cincinnati Times that Mr. Christy, agent of the Colonization Society, has been offered a group of slaves, in one of the Southern States, valued at $ 15,000. The owner cannot emancipte them where he lives, and must remove them to some other State to effect his purpose. 1

In view of the uncertainties attending execution of wills, in reference to slave property and the liability of his slaves being scattered after his death, be thus closes his appeal to Mr. Christy: 'I abhor the thought of their being sold after my death. My reason for wishing to emancipate now is, I don't wish the devil to get my soul, and the lawyers my money.'"

O* The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer says, that W. H. Walthall, a well-known merchant of that city, has been detected in forgeries to the amount of several thousand dollars, and has gone to parts unknown.

D" It is rumored that Mr. Spence, oar Minister to Turkey, will be recalled in consequence of using language offensive to Russia, in his address to the Saltan.— Doabted.

COCBT.—The Common Pleas Court commenced its spring term yes|erday, and adjoornedto next Monday. $

ET There a rumor that the Spanish Government will demand the recall of our minister at Madrid.

Io pick a quarrel out of any Thing! Cutting evidently bad the best ol thepquarrel At the start, but let himself^dowa before he got through, by professing that he had a different object in referringTthe bill to the Committee of the Whole than was attributed to him by all parties at the time.

As to Breckenridge, the haughty, insolent, overseerish manner which characterized him during the debate, was to be expected, considering the oause he was pleading, and the way he was brought up.. At this present writing it is uncertain whether there has been any fighting or not. The reports are contradictory.— At last accounts the parties were out of sight, somewhere.

D" There will be plenty of gossip for a few days about the almost duel between Cutting and Breckenridge. The quarrel between these two honoraMe democrats had its origin in Mr. Cutting's agency in putting to rest the Nebraska bill, by referring it to the Committee of the Whole, an act for which the friends of that bill will never forgive him, but will probably persecute him to the end. We have read the debate which occurred between these two men, and see nothing in the language of either, that a man of sense, and even a 'gentleman,* in the Southern acceptation of the term could not easily get over without dishonor, if he had three grains of ingenuity or any love of peace. But perhaps it was deemed necessary by some that the offence should be expiated in a vi carious way and in such a case it is easy *'»J \i

NEW-HAMPSHIRE.—The New York Tribune of the 28th ult., says: "The Concord (N. II.) Statesman has returns of all but two Representatives elected, which stand —Whigs and Free Soilers, 157 Regulars, J50 which the two to come in will probably make 152. We believe the hide pendent Democrat (Free Soil) claims but (too majority over the Regulars. The run is close, and the two members from Goffstown arc contested. At least a dozen members elect were choscn by one majority, and not less than thirty by 1, 2, 3 or 4. To the Senate eight Regulars are chosen to two whigs, and there arc two Districts in which there is no choice— vacancies to be filled when the Legislature

meets. The total vote for Governor will stand very nearly—Baker, 30,000 Bell, 17,300 Perkins, 11,300, Baker's majority 1,400." s-

Scary. The Philadelphia American has a correspondent who writes some loud letters from Washington One of his latest, contains the following conjecture, "fully established," we presume, by Gen. a 4 "It is now fully established that nn offensive and defensive alliance has been formed against the United States for the protection of Spanish interests in Cuba.— The great naval armaments of the three Powers are to be used as well against u« as against Russia. Tne next object of ihc Anti-American alliance is the protection of Mexico. Santa Anna has received assurance that if he finds it expedient at this time, to sell, for a very large sum of money, an entirely worthless strip of territory on the Northern frontier, he shall be compensated by the addition of British Honduras on the South, a far more valuable and important province to Mexico. For this sacrifices Great Britain will receive ftidemnity in the shape of an arrangement for the ultimate payment of the debt to her subjects by Mexico and perhaps will eventually receive a portion of the money payable by the United States under the Gadsden treaty."

FIVE MEN DROWNED.-—The Kvnnsville Journal says: "We learn by a man from Green river, that on Monday night, the 27th ult.. "five men were drowned at the dam, up Green river. The current was v§ry swift, much swifter than usual even at a high stage of the river, when these men undertook to bring down a raft logs. Just before reaching the dam, the raft caught in the brush, and was broken up. The logs with the men on them, went over tlie dam, and they have not since been seen. There were two brothers named Smith, and three brothers named Harris."

You WONT RAISE AQATN?—"You"wont raise again will you," said a pale and cheaply dressed woman yesterday to her milk man, as he was reaching in his long handled dipper into his big can—you wont raise again, will you 1 The depressed voice of the poor woman arrested attention and we stopped to hear the an swer.

THE WIBLTF EIIBOPE The London correspondent of the New Tork|2t6un*gives the following summary of th4 condition of Europe, on the sailing of the Africa. It is dated March 10th:

The Queen has gone to review the Baltic fleet at Spitfield, which is to weiffh anchor to-morrow for the sound. Sir Charles Napier, who takes command, has been feasted at the "Reform C|ub," and'hwhannounced that if when be gets to the Baltic,

pot been declared, he is to der

clare ii. He probably will hate 6o do ft| for Lord John, as well as "Lord A berdfelri, siVfe not willing to declare war thoy are yet intent on negotiating, even after so many diplS* malic failures. As to the auxiliary arnytt it will not be in Turkey before the end*)!" April. The 'French forcfe sails on Apfir 18th. The Czar has, therefore, sufficient time to concentrate his forces in the Principalities, and to strike such a blovjr as may restore his prestige lost at- Oltenitza and Tshetate. This necessary for the^rl^ sumption of negotiations, because, after a victory, he would no longer decline to troat on the famous terms agreed toikt Vienna'.-* But how to achieve such a signal victory? The first plan was to storm Ivalafat, the capture of which would have been followed up by a Servian outbreak.

But, as Gen. Schilders reported to the? Czar, the entrenched camp is so strongly fortified as not To jjivo any chance for th®i success of a storming party. According^ ly, the concentrated Russian troops are beginning to be withdrawn from Lessee VYallachia, and are directed towards Ka^ hirash and Oltenitaa. A largo force:is likewise assembled at Braila. The plan of the Russians is now evidently to cross the Danube at several places, and in case they succeed in establishing themselves on the elevated right bank of the Danube, to occupy the rolling plain between the river' and the Balkan, which cannot be easily defended. The Turks, in ease they can-* not prevent the crossing of the Danube, would soon fall back, upon the fortified^ places of the mountain ranges, and there the war would begin in earnest. But t5* doubt whether all the reinforcements of^ Russia, nnd all the war-like genius o(' GorchekofF and Scliilders, will prove ablei* to achieve such a Result within the critical^ six weeks which must elapse before the(* arrival of the Anglo-French auxiliaries.—H I doubt, therefore, lhat the Pacific schemeai5 of the English Ministry enn be carried*.^

Admiral Dundas yet lingers at the Bos-** phorus—he belongs probably to the PeaccJ* Society—while the Russian fleet has been seen off Suchtim Kaleh. You are already aware that the Black Sen is alwaysnaviga-J ble for the Russians, when Admiral Dun-^ das pleads stress of weather fdr remain-* itig iu the placid waters of the Sea af Mar-* mora.

The conduct of Austria and Russiap gives great anxiety to the Ministry,

spite of all the declarations of Lord Clar-. endon and of all the threats of the Lon-t, don l1imes, Austria and Prussia remain^ wavering. It was rumored here vestcr-^ day that an Austrian manifesto jvith pro-| Russian tendencies has already been drawnj up at Vienna, and might be published to^ day. So much is sure, that Austria is in-( creasing her army. A bankrupt Statc^ sending 100.000 soldiers to the frontier,, where 00,000 are already stationed I It* is not strange that under such circum-j stances gold should command a premium, of thirty-seven per cent, at Vienna.

We hear nothing more of the Greek insurrection of which we had previously such exaggerated accounts. The Queen of Greece—an Oldenburg princess, and' therefore a relation of the Czar—favors^ the movement, but the smiles of a Queen arc not always sufficient to keep up an in-', surrection. The Queen of Spain contin-$ ues to banish Generals, and to imprison' the editors of obnoxious pnpers she is in* despair that she cannot imprison the edi-f tors of the English papers, who comment^ strongly on her licentiousness and profli-* gacy. But the outbreak of Saragossa has* not found an echo in Spain. The rem-* nants of the regiment of Cordova havei arrived in France, and officers and men. have been offered a chance to enter tbei foreign Legion. Napoleon has sympathy' with Spanish rioters, while lie insists upon' the removal of refugees from Piedmont, and desires a greater stringency toward the nresa of the Intalian constitutional kingdom. The difficulties between Switzerland and Austria have not yet been settled, and the alarm of King Bomba of Naples increases daily. He cannot doubt^ that a Muratls conspiracy is extending over his country, and he does not dare to attack and destroy it openly, as a great portion of the army belongs to it.— We may soon hear of outbreaks and rev-

PISTOL SHOOTING EXTRAORDTKAIIR.^ The New York Picayune of the 13th ult., says a most remarkable /bat at pistol shooting, occurred lately in that city.—( John Travis of the Pistol Gallery, in Common street, opposite the Clay Hotel, •snuffed a candle' twelve times successively at twelve paces. A bet of five hundred dollars was made that he could not do it but some friends backed him that he could, and sure enough he'brought them out.'— The agreement was that any shot touching the stem of the candle should be counted as 'no shot.' The shooter made thirteen shots—one touching the stem. The twelve that snuffed the candle could have
