Klnfract of a let ter from a gentleman now in (i England, to his fraud in Virginia, dated ' V Hulkium, 1 Oth July, 1824. L As you are a renowned firmer, 1 thought j it m ist classical to give you a few lines (rum V ♦ In; celebrated domain ol Mr. Coke, the ; great agriculturist and opulent commoner,j especially as I find paper, pen, Ink, wax, f &c. on the table, to which 1 am sh iwn ( in my lodging ro >n. Here you have every t tlung at your elbow, and need no further! waiting on. fhc house is on a scale of j t which you liavc no idea : In his manners r Mr 0. is quite plain ; he is very coinmuni-j cative, and m ist profusely hospitable. II p is a true whig, and lias always been on the i American side in our controversies with!t England, for which we ought to like him. j t have learned in Norfolk, that our mode I of trying live hedges has never been fair.'; They are (he great ornament of England, and i are well worth a further experiment; tho’ I I doulit if our unlearned pigs would nut j I penetrate them eveiyu Norfolk. Tie thnni'n should he planted m double rows, each i plant being ab ml four inches from its neigh- i bor, thus, —they sh mid be protected 1 wh m young by smae other* enclosure— i sli mid be trimmed every year on the sides, so as to make them shoot upwards, and to ( make them dense. Moreover, the seeds i should he sown in a nursery, an I the young't plants removed when you wish them. i I'lic sheep and turnips are the great mat- | ter here. I find the turnips are subject to ( many accidents from the lly, as with us. ( Toey pul Uiem in drills--! saw some ves-'h terday with four or five small leaves. Tin* hi produce ol sheep is ama/.iog—l mean the;, yield in money. Mr. C die has lately sold 1 ! sheen, fifteen month* old, thus— tl ece, I Os.; 1 , meat, in London, 37*.. equal to JJI. 175.1, sterling. .Mr. Coke's metho 10l cultivating l ,! turnips is worth one trial. 1 never saw u;, in Virginia. Tne ground is nicely prepared in drills, the s eds are sown very tliick in i drill to all iw lor the ravages of the II y, and j still have-plants enough, lie assure* me \ lie ha* never failed since he adopted this method. Here wheat, barley, and almost [. every thing, is drilled. Labor is too dearjii wi i u* fir that, but we might drill turnips.l,• I'iiey make no use ol piaster of paris in | t E'igland, as numire. Hut,(he quantity of, stable manure they put on the ground is ! <> auu/.ing. I never saw, except on asp,ragu* ,| beds, any thing like it, • 1 it is'j unpleasant to ride neai* a uewfv ploughed field, from the smell of the stable yard. 1 ~ have seen ground bone als ) used as manure * Near Lincoln it is much esteemed, but in Norfolk less, Ihe land in England is evei v n where nearly level, except a few barren hills. ( There is more laud wide 1 was by nature bar ren thin I supposed, but then they have lime, chalk, &c. every where, and grass'll seems to grow kindly even on the poorest. } v Here you hardly see any fruit which is' c not cspnliered on the wall. They think they I; have the finest in the world. It is large and fair undoubtedly, but certainly as far as I have seen, has less flavor than ours. We , had at table yesterday, at llolkham, a musk meloti, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, and * cherries: the grapes fresh from the hot-'; house, beautiful purpl ■ ones, but not equali in tlav or to those we have eaten at Mr. The strawberries were enormous, beyond j any thing, but not so sweet as ours. Mr. Coke is greatly enamored of his He- ' voushirc cattle. He says the oxen are far 1 superior—the milk, the bitter, the meal,'! and every tiling better. They are uniform- ‘ 1 v of one color, somewhat of a reddish bay,|< with long horns ; not very large, but round ami well formed, and ate the handsomest ‘ cattle 1 have ever seen. He i* forsaking his old stock of sheep, which was > did fit. He!) now has what he calls the improved Down/ which he thinks every way superior. Hatl| 1 have seen no mutton better than our own,l certainly none si good as the Alleghany.I The bee I is generally better than ours, and; instead of eating it half raw as vou hear, it' is cooked most admirably. The climate is cool beyond what 1 had I supposed. Vou see most people travelliii" > l iu cl mk* in June and July, and you always! find two blmkets on yom bed ; one of which, and soiuelim-s the other is uece— iry. V , I terday we had a fire. It rains almost every day, generally light showers. The wheat and barley „f (( Pkham are throughout as good as the best 1 ver Nl w but that i* not the case elsewhere. Toe wheat is ofteu very foul, sometimes irregulai in Its growth, but generally looks vigorous— it is now in flower, but no idea can lie formed of the crop, Mr. C. says that it is not sc uncertain a crop with him, as it is generally represented to be in England. —tiO©— Sentences from Jeremy Tailor. Drunkeness calls off the watchmen from their towers ; and then fallow all the evils that can proceed from a loose heart, an united tongue, a dissolute spirit, and an un guarded, unlimited will. li you covet learning you must have lei sure and a retired life ; if to be a politician, (you must go abroad and get experience, and do all business and keep all company, and jhave ;io leisure at all. Ifyou will be rich, you must be frugal ; Ifyou will be popular, you must be bountiful ; if a philosopher, you must despise riches. There are many accidents which are es teemed great calamities ; and yet we have reason enough to bear them and unconcern edly ; for they neither touch our bodies nor our souls ; our health and our virtue remain entire, our life aim our reputation. It may be I am slighted or 1 have received ill lan guage ; but my head aches not for it, nei ther hath it broke my tliigh, nor taken away my virtue, unless I lose mv charity or my patience, Enquire therefore, alwavs,wheth er you are really the worse for wiiat lias hap pened . An old English divine praises “ those few good people, who have no other plot in then religion than to serve God mid save their souls ” Holy intention is to the actions of a man that which (he soul L to the ' ody, or the root to the tree, or the base to the pillar.

I propound this to the roissid n r ition of all Christian people, that they be not nice and curious, fond and indulgent to themselves in taking accounts of their personal conven iences—and the cons npience "ill be that the poor will more plentifully be relieved,i themselves will be more able to do it, and (lie duty will be less changeable. It cann it be denied but, in the expenses of all liberal; and gi eat personages, many things might be spared; some superfluous servant-, some idle meetings, some unnecessary & impru-| dent feats, s one garments too cosily, same unnecess iry I iw-siiiis, some vain journey h ; and when we are lemnVd to such needless expenses, if we shall decent! ti moderation I and lay aside the surplusage, we shall fiml; it with nine profit loot* laid nut upon tne poor members ol Christ, firm upon our own! vanity.

J FUOM POULSO.n’s AMERICAN DAILY ADV. 0 A French work was published, a few y years ago, under the title of “ Dictionnairi Etymologiques des noms propres et surnoms iGrecs et Remains ; par F. Noel, Inspec iteur General de I’lnstruction publi(|ue, el , Membre de I’Athenee de Lyons.” s Amongst other curious and amusing mat u ter, it contained a chapter upon supersti tion, with some details on what the learned are pleased to call the science of Onomato mancy, the origin of w hich is attributed to Hn ich. This boasted science is nothing 1 more than a mode of divining or ascertain- I ing the destiny or fortune of any individu al, by the letters of which his, or her, name, may be composed. Pythagoras, vve are in ’ formed, had recourse to this method, when he constructed his wheel of fortune, upon which the letters, divided into 12 parts, . corresponded with the twelve signs of the .Zodiac. It is known that Pythagoras and Jhis followers, were partial to great names — , every letter, said they , had its particular nu , metical value—a proper estimate of which, (opens futurity to our view, and they accord | ingly held-that we might discover or pre dict the of a man’s life, l»y calculat ing the indicated by the letters id' his namel 'lie whose letters, when su li med up, produced the greatest numoer, must prove the most successful, whether in , a battle, a gaming match, a lawsuit, or ai |, love aflTiir. ) J This is the principle :—Take the letters!

Under such circumstan- Ices, tne French General must hive inevita jbly been beaten, even by Mr. Wilber’force !

Telescope, not indeed from the pen o g the Editor, but receiving his unqualified ap - probation. Savannah will answer fur hersel —we are sure Augusta and her Banks neve made an effort against the village of Ham i, burg. If this infant establishment has ex 1 pei ienced difficulties, let them be traced ti ■ the proper source, and not attributed to ai I envy and illiberally in this city, which has . no existence in fact.

It is so in this in sjstance. The troubles of Hamburg are of . her own making, ami Augusta as little in | terfered in the production of them, as she , did in the failure of the Bank in that place • —which was caused, as all persons now be lieVe, by an entire inability, from first to 1 last, to meet its engagements.

Stocks amt Hudson have ar rived in this city, and with Mr. Halt will this place in a few davs for Savannah, where being joined by Judge Davis, the Committee will proceed to the peiformance 1 of the important duties assigned to them. Congress is busily engaged in disposing °f tbe superabundant funds of the Treasury. I lie Bill for extending (he Cumberland Road with a grant of gl 50,000 for that pur pose, has been ordered to be engrossed for a third Reading, and the Bill for the Relief of the Niagara Sufterers has passed the House of Ui‘| resentatives. There are several other projects upon ihe carpet, and the prod igals have a fine opportunity of indulging their thirst lor liberal appropriations. We hope the Georgia militia claims will not be disregarded, and that the nation will be just as well as generous.

The Mails. —A Circular, of which the _ following is a copy, has been addressed by the Post Master General to the contractors for carrying the Mails of the United States. Post Office Department, 1 5th Jan. 1825. The Postmaster General has observed, ks with great regret, that the exertions of some m contractors, on important mail routes, have not equalled his expectation, or the expecta e tion of the public. 5, This is the season, w hen to avoid failures, the utmost exertions, of all concerned in the transportation of the mail, are necessary. No obstacles, which human exertions can If overcome, shall excuse a failure. Any want r of energy, in this respect, will first be noti . ced by the highest pecuniary penalty, and, fur a second failure, the contract will be forfeited. u There will be no departure from this rule, u Os this, those most interested may be fully s assured. On all roads which become so deep as to I render the rapid progress of stages impracti- II cable, contractors are requested to place the > mail in covered sulkies, or in other jjfiiicles | better suited for the purpose, andulh this (manner to continue the transportSSmn of it, iuntil the roads will admit of stag*. What ' | ever may be the condition ojjj»fhe route, no ; |trip should be lost. >j Ihe sudden rise of water courses may stop the passage of the njail; bad roads can jnot cause even the ladure ol a trip, if the proper means be aj.plied with the necessary ‘ energy. There are many roads where a sta^e, : with six or eight passengers and a large quantity of baggage, cannot travel live or six miles an hour; but there is no mail stage road in the Union on which the mail cannot 1 he conveyed in a suikey or cart, as rapidly as the contract requires. If two horses to a cart do not give sufficient force, four should be, applied. The transportation of the mail must not be made a secondary object—those who con sider it in this light, will very soon beat liberty to bestow their undivided attention to the conveyan. e of passengers. Washington, January 20. INDIAN TREATIES. On the 18th inst. the President, by and jwith tin; advice and consent of the Senate ratified two Treaties, one with the low.ty, * a.ul the other with the Sac ami Fox nations ot Indians, both ol which were concluded on !lhe 4th of August last, by the Head Chiefs ,ol those nations, and Commissioners on the part of the United Slates.

The A s mall tiact ol land lying between die rivers j Desmom and (lie Mississippi, and the sec- : tion of the above line between tin Mississip pi and the Desmoin, is reserved for the use ~ jj of the halt breed belonging to the Sac. and 'w Fox nations, they holding it, however, by I the same title, and in the same manner, that other Indian titles are held. * None of these tribes arc permitted to set- jU tie or hunt upon any part, of the ceded land, £ 'after the Ist of January, 1826, without spe- J Jcial permission from the Superintendent of T Indian Affairs. la lieu of the land ceded by these Trea ties, the United States have agreed to pay i the loways five hundred dollars, and the same sum annually for ten veais. The Sacs and Foxes are to receive one thousand dollars, and an annuity of live hundred dul- < , lars for ten years.
