Kennedy, Esq. COMBINATION or. CHARACTER—History shows that the reciprocal action and re-action of two natures, or two races, sometimes friends, often enemies, or rivals. The most ge— neral iiict in the history of our civilization is, the struggle between the East and the West, from the‘expedition of the Argonauts and the war of Troy, to the battle of Lepanto, and, the siege of Vienna by the Turks. In this great drama, it was not merely to shed rivers of blood, that Providence has dashed against each other Europeans and Asiatics, Greeks and Persians, Romans, Carthageniuns and Partbians, Saracens and Franks, Venetians, Turks, and Poles; blons have not been the only thing exchanged between Europe and the Orient. If you wish to know what the West has gained from contact with the East, even when they met sword in hand, look around you; most of the fruit trees which enrich your fields, the vine which gladdens the heart, the silk and cotton that adorn your houses and your per- sons, these are the spoils of your eastern wars. Sugar and coffee, the cultivation of which has changed the political balance of the world, were brought into Europe from the East, the one by yourselves, the other by the Arabs, when they made themselves masters of Spain. The mariner’s compass, which has given a new continent to civilization, and established the dominion of man over the before uncon— quered deep, was the gift of the East. Your arts and your sciences are of oriental kind; the secrets of Algebra were stolen from the Moors of Spain by a monk; your system of numeration, the basis of/all your financial improvements, bears the name of the Arabs; your chivalry was brought from Asia by the Crusaders. Christianity, the mother of Mo- dern Europe, would not have existed in the West, had not the Roman legion conquered J udea, which contained its germ; had not the Roman empire containe Alexandria, in which that germ could put forth, and had not the Rome of the Cursors been raised as a pedestaH‘or the successors of St. Peter, from which they might rule over the East and the West. Behold the Roman people. Its noble career was a continual succession of wars, followed by as many incorporations of the conquered, alliances and real marriages, which always give it new vigour. It begins with the double figure of Romulus and Remus; then fol- d the school of at inseam.

Dean SIR, I The improvement of Agriculture demands the attention of every person that wishes well to his country and desires the wel- fare of society. No person that has travelled through the Island but must be convinced (if he is an observing man,) that the progress of Agriculture is very much retarded by the farmers engaging in lumbering and ship-building during the winter, while they neglect their stock, or at least give them very bad attendance, the consequence of which is that Milch Cows are almost useless during the Summer. A great many of our for- mers complain of the length of the Winter; ut on viewing their fences ‘we would be inclined to‘think it as not long enough to enable them to provide themselves with fencing stud; and often for want, of a supply of firewood the fence poles are burnt in the Fall, leaving the fields exposed to be ruined by pigs and cattle in the Spring. But it is gratifying to observe that the pro- gress of Agriculture in many parts of the country is rapidly im- proving; still mucb remains to be done. I am inclined to think that if practical Agriculturists would lecture on the mos; appro- ved way of the management of a farm and the best mode of ploughing and raising hay, grain and vegetables, it would have a. good tendency; and I think the Committee ofthe Central Agri- cultural Society should endeavour to encourage the raising of Turnips, as I am persuaded no other crop will (if pains were taken to hoe them) be found so productive and useful to the farmer. I might mention that last year we raised 80 Busliels on one eighth of an acre, and in another field which Was manu- red from the hog-pen, the result was almost double; the ground was prepared by Fall ploughing, laying on the manure in the Spring, ploughing it down, letting it stand in this state for a few days, then harrowing it well, sowing the seed, covering it slightly with the barrow, then passing over it with a roller to give a smooth surface for hoeing. which should be otten attended to, to insure a. good crop, and it leaves the ground in good con- dition for a crop ofiwheat the ensuing year ; and was this sys- tem adopted I make no doubt but the Agriculture of the Colony would advance at a more rapid rate than it has hitherto done. i I remain, Sir, Your most ob’t Servant, JOHN M‘NEILL, Junior. Peter Macgowan, Esq. The Secretary requested and obtained the permission of the T Couconn, from Bofr seeing as how Peter proved his courage, and would stand up before any ofthem, when he had just been after facing a ghost. It is said, Peter was as good ,as his word, and kept his promise to his grandfather’s ghost, for he did bring back the skull, and did put it decently under the clay; where it's resting, for aught I know, to this very day. Some people, to be sure, were low the Romans and Sabines, then Rome and Alba, next Rome and the Latins, and next Rome and Carthage. It might be called a young Sultan, who carries offa captive at the point of the sword, and makes her his favourite until he grows tired ofhcr, or until he finds another more wor- thy or his love. It goes on in t with Greece, which becomes, caprice, but a favourite sultana. blow. of believing that Peter saw his grandfather’s ghost at all, and that it was only a drunkard’s boast; for it’s button thrue that Peter, though chapel-clerk, was a great drunkard and a great liar, to his dying day. But this is sartaiu, that a man for a wager brought away by night a skull from this abbey, and brought it back again ; in Conn‘aught.—-Slr.-'tchcs in Erri's and Tyrawly. CLIMATE or Texas—By thermometer calculations made throughout the season, from April to September, fora period of three years. the country, the mercury has been found to range front 63 degrees to 100 degrees; average beat, nine o’clock in the morning, 73 degrees; twelve o’clock, noon, 83 degrees; three o’clock, afternoon, 77 degrees.—Bot the raduation of the thermometer can convey no accurate idea of the climate of Texas to those who have never experienced its effects—From the same degree of heat which in New Orleans was overpowering and relaxing, Isulfered comparatively little-inconvenience, even in Houston, a town situated in a low-lying and rather ins’a— So steady, bracing and cooling was the breeze, that it not only mitigated the heat, but en- abled me' to take pedestrian exercise with safety in the open prairie at mid-day in the fervid month ofJune: and so potent was this affectionate and welcome wind, that I was obliged, when writing, to close the southern lubrious prairie. - window of my apartment, to prevent my books and pa- pers from being whirled 05' the table where they lay.
