Tvespay, Feb. 3—The Club assembled yester- day, the first Tuesday of the month. Amongst other matters to discuss, was the subject of the “ Culture and manufacture of flax and hemp,” which was adjourned from the last meeting, in order to afford members an opportunity of considering the valuable information conveyed by Mr. Billings, from Missouri, both on the probable success of the adoption of his machinery, for a cheap and expedi- | tious system of saving and preparing the articles, as on the nature and qualifications of the soil best adapted for the cultivation of these staples of agri- cultural enterprise and industry. The Chair was | filled by Col. Clarke, of Brooklyn, and the attend- ance included many strangers, who were interested in the expected revelations. Extracts were read trom Professor Playfair’s lectures in Ireland, deliv- ered before the Historical Society of Dublin, on the subject of the disease in the potato. The professor formed one of the committee of enquiry, appointed by the Britisn Sarerpmenty into the cause aud probable temedy of the blight; but the result has proved as un- satisfactory to the peer himself, as to the public; and a reiteration of those precautions that have been universally recommended by the practical experience of the American farmers, forms the chief topic of his lectures. Some extracts, relative to the early history of the horse, were read from the works of Professor Lowe, of Edinburgh, which were ingenious, from the fact of tl ecological statistics he furnishes of the rise i of this noble animal, from the days of Ju- waar down to the present period, including the s of Edward 2d and 3d, Elizabeth, and Henry the Sth, who, by the way, imposed the penalty of keeping od mai: jing & certain number of bi horses upon es whose wives wore velvet bonnets.

A member wished to be intormed as to the progres to the Legislature. on the subject o: bouuties on the growth of silk, and stated, that on Wednesday, at No. 19 Stanton st.,‘between the hours of % and 2o%clock, a filatory would be exhibited, oprnto visit Th 3 the latter the Institu gular subject was then introduced, “The Cul- ture and Manufacture of Flaxand Hemp.” A member objected to the culture of these articles, as not affording any reasonable compensation to the farmers, if cvnduc- ted on the present expensive system ;—he thought, how- ver, that under the effects of the machinery adopted and invented by Mr. Billings of Missouri, the particular advantages of which were described in the last report, the plan might be successful. Extracts were read from apamphiet published some time since by Mr. Clay, who is an extensive sower of hemp in his own district— Kentucky—and where, in conjupction with lowa, Ten- nessee, Missouri, &c., upwards of forty-five million of are raised annually, which pays the farmers wheat or corn.

On Monday afternoon, the Police office was densely crowded by persons, among whom there ap ed to be considerable excitement, in consequence of un at- tempt made to convict a young map, named William Ful- ton, of being a hous: destitute wanderer. The defendant i the vicinity of the Fultoa Ferry, and has sorved as barkeeperin several of the public ‘houses thereabout, The complainant was Mr. Michael Edwards, the keeper of atavern in Fulton street, who testified that Fulton had not pursued any re- gular employmont for three or tour years past; and several times, about #ix months since, had applied to him for assistance which was accordiugly rendered. Mr. Con- klin Carll, livery stable keeper, testified to similar effect, and also that Fulton was an idle person, without visible means of support. Mr. George Van Brunt stated that the defendant boarded pow at his hotel, and had former- ly been engaged inthe bekery business, but that now he followed gumbiing for a living.

There i nothing in the testimony to warrant Fuiton’s committal as a vagrant, he was discharged, It leaked out during tho examina: tion that Fulton had on the previous day been subpona- ed to appear before the Grand Jury to-day to give testi- charge of having, on the 15th of December last, the apartments of Miss Craft, in broken open a trunk, contents, consisting of dre value of $6: ntered No.2 pted to , Jewelry, &e., of Miss Cuarra mapeeed that the trunk containing her dresses, jewelry, kc., was forced open with a chisel, and its contents completely overhauled, and that some articles of jewelry were taken out of the trunk, but were subsequently found by a member of the family. Mr. Crarrs deposed, that he found the prisoner and an accomplice, in the apartment of his neice, when he took him into custody, but that his accomplice escaped. It was then discovered that the trunk had been broken open. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, but the court deferred sentence for a few days. Trial for Petit Larceny.—A colored lad, named Henry Smith, was then placed on trial, for stealing a quantity of clothing from Mary Matthews, No. 178 Hutison street, iu the month of December last. The stolen property raced to the possession of the accused—the jury accordingly found nim guilty, and the court, on account ty be youth, (being under 16) sent him to the House of efuge w Court of Common Pleas.

We have received by her, the Aurora de Matan- 2as, El Diarw Redactor, and the Diario de la Ma- rina, to the 18th ult. There is nothing particularly new in the papers, but the annexed letter from our correspondent is important :— Matanzas, Jan. 18, 1846, vba) ered by this be a magnon of the sailing from this port of the American brig Joseph, to inform you about the critical state of this country at the present time. ‘The despotism and atrocious depredations of the Spa- nish government, bave arrived at the highest degree of wiqary. Theenlistment fora mil ) the suppression of ugreat number of advocates, the extinction of the University of this island, the introduction of new and enormous taxes—have excited, at last, the public indig- nation, and the opinion of the natives is almost pro- nounced. ‘The news about the proposed purchase of this island by the government of the United States,"bas reached us with an incredible pleasure,and has been echoed with shouts of joy and enthusiasm in every quarter, and by every Creole heart. ‘An agent of the government of the Union, with tho help of our brethren, the Anglo-Americans, might be speogs fe attain the object of the purchase, without mil- lions being necessary to it. The nati are disposed to the co-operation, by all means,on that purpose, and we hey the organ of the opinion of the greatest number of em. Arrairs in La Piata.—The Defensor de la In- depencia Americana, printed under Oribe’s govern- meat, contains, under date of the 27th of October, the following remarks :— “For 88 days to-day, the naval forces of England and France, stationed in the River Plata, commanded by the Admirals Inglefield and Laine, are blockading, by orders of the rs Ouseley and Deffendis, and as- sisted by the Italian pirate Garribaldi, the ports of the Oriental {Republic, and are hostilizing ‘the same by all the means in their power—without its government or inhabitants having given those nations th of complaint,,or pretext for h it rou t. And whet ironically, messengers of peace, obtained, until now, by their blockade and piratical attacks upon our coast, but to prejudice the commerce that the North Americans, Brazilians, Speniards, Portuguese, Sar ans, and other nations carried on with us, Rn ng rts their own, and to convince us how vain their to impose laws upon bil and to exhibit the m: in return for the out shed, the destruction the conciliators appear, sffords to thousands of Frerch subjects residing on our territory, y spective agents, the most effective in their persons, property, and ind .

Meanwhile, 85 days of blockade have pass- ed—many months, perhaps yeuis wore, may pass, and what willbe the result but the totel ruin of the com. merce of the River Platte, the lasting hatred of the Eng- ling and French name by the native population, snd a late and sterile disappointment ? protection Missouat Convention.—The representatives of the people of this State, elected for the pur; of for @ new constitution, to be submitted to the people for their ratification, completed their labors on the 14th of January last, and submitted to the people a new constitution.

The ci olved but a very simple ques- in one of the Fulton ferry bo tion, and if the jury would turn their minds to that ues. tion, and throw aside all such evidence and remarks of counsel aedid not bear on it, their duty would be plain and simple. The plaintia’s claim was for goods left with defendants for sale, which were destroyed by the fire that happened in July last. The destruction of the goods were not disputed, and the only point the jury bad to dispose of was,was there a special contract to insure? If not,was there any obligation independant of that, on the that there was a contract, or if there was not, and the de fendants were obliged to insure, the plaintiff must reco- ver; if not, they must His honor said there were two agreements between the parties: the first was mado by Tempost, the broker, and the second by Bradbury, the witness; the first was superseded by th nd, and the jury was to throw that out of the cas far as it went to explain the agreeme: Bradbury, the clerk of , and. one of defendants. The agreement, as stated by Bradbury,was that the defendants were to take the goods at six two thirds per cent; there was no denial of th o of defendants; the onl: rence between them is, wheth- er Bradbury, at the time, included the insurance in the contract, and whether the defendants agreed to insure hed a right mer came in contact with a curious and crazy craft, which we subsequently: ‘ascertained to be the Garland, belonging to Messrs.

It appears from what we can glean at present, that a young man of respectable connexions, residing in Philadelphia, brought on to this city a young and fescinating girl of sbout eighteen years of age, who had been seduced, and also was en- ciente by this man, and for relief, she was placed in this house of horror and death, to pass through the treatment practiced by this wicked wom: The accouchement of this unfortunate girl was too maturity, however, and her treatment was therefore abandoned, for fear of &n exposure; consequently in two or three days after, this poor creature was delivered of a beautifal livin, child. This circumstance being rathor novel, and tend- ing to injure the reputation of the landlady, therefore a method was adopted to remove this innocent babe {rom its mother; the girl was persuaded to place the child out to nurse; a nurse wat it to her room, who took the child when only three a old, under pretence of nur- Neither the babe nor the nurse hi been seen a, dock, or burnt, as it is the practice to do in many of these dens.
