Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof fin, now resident in Newburyport, Mass, address ed to the Editors of the “ Casket,” and “ Saturday Evening Post.” Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel lent publication, the “ Casket,” I assure you, meets from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year, would be worth the trifling expense of the subscrip tion; those representing the Capitol, at Harrisburg, Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. arc hand somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work; in truth, I am free to 6ay, that there is not within the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so well calculated to cheer the oppressed and languid spirits as the “ Casketthe matter is diversified and useful—so much so, that there must always be found something to please the literary taste of every one, who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may think me oYer-eamcst in this matter, and that I am only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for the gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with sincerity—not doubting' but its subscribers will readily allow that ray remarks are just.—I am, gen tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERTS.

I asked him, on his examination, if he did not loan me a horse to assist me in moving, and reminded him of several circumstances that shewed his knowledge of my removal, all of which he most bitterly denied ; and I do pronounce him a perjured man, and caution the public to beware of iim.

ADVERTISEMENT. ses, like other plants, have their particular seasons of growth. There are several spe», cies which start with the first appearance of vegetation, and which blossom in April Ct May. Others start later, grow vigorously after the first have become stationary, and flower in succession, in June, July and Au gust. Others preserve their vigour /and growth until vegetation is checked by tho frost of A utumn. A pasture possessing thr>se different kinds, some of which are in vigor# duff growth every part of the grazing season must possess a manifest advantage over that which has only one or two kinds, which only shoot in surperfluous plenty in spring, in midsvimmer, or in autumn, independently of the consideration suggested by Mr. Our- f-l°. that the number of plants and the gross produc,t will be more than doubled: it affords luxuriant growth and abundance of nutri- cious feefljxcf all times, ft i* this property which gives a oeculiar value to old pastures. In great Britain,, they are esteemed a third more valuable for thc^daifvVthan pastures newly laid down: because contain many grasses, some of which ^luxuriate at every «eason of the year. sowing the many kinds of grasses which t%ey contain, a new pasture v ill attain the valuL of an old one, the second or third vear afteff' seeding. A better attention to our ind genous )srrasses, and the introduction of more - from -^road, would very much further the interest of American farming. 0*%^ MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS. Important fact in regard to grasses.—Any certain soil, says Curtis, will maintain a greater, and yield more nutricious pro duce, if cropped with only one or two spe cies. This is a curious and important fact, and which has been unnoticed in previous works on the subject, as well as neglected in practice. If an acre of good land is sown with three pecks of rye grass, and one peck of the clover or trefoil, 470 plants only will be maintained on the square foot of such land ; if a large quantity of these seeds are sown, whether of these two species or of any other two, the extra plants vegetated (which will certainly appear at first, if the seeds are good,) will decay in a short time, and leave blank places to be filled up with weeds or spurious grasses ; or in fact, plants of dif ferent species, supplied by the soil, manure, or neighbouring hedges. But if instead of two species of grasses, eight or twenty different sorts are sown on the same soil, that one alluded to, a thousand plants will be maintained on the same space, and the weight of produee in herbage, and in hay increased in proportion It has been remarked by farmers, that if oats and peas are sown together, eacli in sufficient quantities, for a crop, the product of each will be as great as if it had occupied the ground wholly. The only way in which I can account for this fact as also that quo ted above from Curtis, is upon the theory of Grisenthwaite,that different species of plants take up different quantities of food from the soil; and what is indispensable for the per fection of one, is not necessary to, or taken op by another; that each requires a specific or particular food T Cularly important to grass husbandry.. Gras-* In a’moderate sized pagiphtet which has been just published in London, entitled • Jl Complete View of Joint Stock Companies, there is presented a summary tiffhe modes, the means, and pretences, through which profit loving Englishmen, whether cheaters or cheatees, contrived to waste, and be wasted out of some dozen millions of good, solid money. It appears, if this account of the matter be true, that the years 1824 and 1825 gave rise to no less than 624 new mo ney making projects, requiring towards their completion the reasonable sum of rather more than 372 millions sterling, and this exclusive of many provincial, Scotch and Irish companies. Upon the above project ed capital, there was actually paid, not in cluding premiums, 17.600,000L ; which, at' the present price of the several stocks, ig worth in the market about 9,000,000/. ster ling. Mr. English, the compiler of these statements, has been for a long time familiar with the subject, and has had access to Use ful sources of information. Travelling in the Air.—This is a start ling idea to those quiet personages who pre-’ fer iep'a firma to any aerial elevation, but certain it is that some bolder Spirits are bent upon diverting from this earth all who travel either for pleasure or upon the hurried er rands of business. We have had occasion to notice several times heretofore, the work of Mr. Genet upon the’ upward forces of fluids, inf which the author presents a plan for navigating the atmosphere with a vessel combining the forms of fishes and birds, and which shall have a surplus levity of many, thousand pounds for the transportation of merchandise, passengers, and other freight. The time has passed by when the incredu lous could sneer at the suggestion of over coming by Scientific , aid those barriers which seemed prescribed by nature to hu man exertion and motion'. The successful application of steam navigation is alone suf ficient to give dignity and consequence to those suggestions of scientific meg which are the result of long study and reflection; and without expressing a conviction that the scheme proposed is practicable, we are inclined to treat it with respect, since it i» theorettcallif possible, bC the practical ob stacles what they may. Mr. Genfet, as appears from a: paper now . before us, proposes in connexion with Mr*. Eugene Robertson, well known' for his as censions ftom this city, and elsewheipj to ascertain by actual experiment the pra'ctica-„ Indeed this is amply re- j Uility of navigating the air by tfiiq^pr'* cognized in the rotation of crops. A suc cession of the same crops will inevitably deteriorate, unless the soil upon which they are sown is annually supplied with the spe cific food which they consume. We see this principle further illustrated in the alter nations of spines which are constantly tak ing place in our meadows and in our forests. In Gloucester, England, the sainfoin will abide in* the chalk soil# ten years ; after which the same ground will not grow sain foin again till ten other years have interVen- proposed, and to accomplish this a subscrip tion is to be opened to defray the expenses. Accompanying the subscription paper is the. report of a select^ corhmktee’ ((consisting of Messrs. S. L.' MitcWll, W. J. Macrieven, and J. Morton) of the New York Literary and Philosophical Society, to whom the me moir of Mrs Genet had been referred. In concluding thqir reporL these gentlemen le- mitrfc that “ There is nothing alarming, in' the opinion that rerostation. notwithstanding all that has been done, is still in its infancy;
