Gon. Talmadge warmly advocated the grafting of another society with it, which would diffuse incalculable advantages wherever its ope- rations extended Our limits will not permit us to trace to the full extent the remarks of the General, in his advecacy of the system recom- mended te the adoption of the State Legislature, nor Dr. Underhill’s judicious contrast between the health of those trained and educated in agricultural pursuits, with those;whose duties in unprofitable languages and sciences had exhausted their constitutions and diminished their days (of whom, 2 to 30 per cent fell victims to close and confined applicaption,) or, in a commercial peint of view, such encouragements would afford to a further ctlti- vation of the soil, and the consequent advancement of the public revenues. Nor do we, from the same cause, recapitulate the opinion of Mr. Close, that it is from the agriculturalist ranks our statesmen and senators and ge- nerals should be selected, but all united in showing that this was the time for prompt, imme: action, in obtaining the necessary grant. Mr. Stevens, in a speech of considerable interest, expressed the views of the State ural Society, at Albany, on the importance of |, its probable success,trom the increase of the members of both Houses to the which he wasa member, and, ina forcible manner, urged the Farmers’ Club to persevere in their appeal to the wisdom of the Legislature. Inthe State Agricultural So- cee f the Executive Committee have offered a premium of $300 for the best method of giving corn to nogs,and also for ascertaining the given quantity of corn necessary to pro- duce a given quantity of flesh to hogs, beef, and mutton ; an experiment that only could be properly ‘tested by the agricultural school. This gentleman’s remarks elicited much approbation, and deservedly. He firmly recom. mended schools to be scattered through the country ; but contended that, for the agricultural college, the vicinity of New York ; in its pro: room, the repository, and its reserved funds, that neigh- borhood was the most eligible position—the proper loca- lity. The meeting was protracted to a late hour, and, in consequence of the suspension of the regular business, a meeiing for Tuesday next was proposed and adopted ; revious to which, Mr. Meggs presented to each mem- r of the club present, and to the roy copy of a work from Mi rus Judson, of Judson’s Hotel, New York, entitled ‘‘ Hasty Pudding,” a poem, in three ‘cantos, written at Chombrey, in Savoy, January, 1798, by Joel Barton, Minister Plenipotentiary to France, with a memoir of Indian corn; compiled by D.

Several of the Commissioners of the Hudson River Railroad Company have egain appeared before the pub- lic, in the shspe of an advert ent in some of the Wall street papers, cautioning their fellow-citizens against being influenced or misled by attacks which have been made upon the features and merits of the river route.— | We have more confidence in the judgment and discerh- ment of our fellow-citizens, particularly of that closs likely to be applied to for subscription to the stock of this river road, to think for one moment that the caution alluded te isin any way necessary. Our citizens havo suffered too often to bs again drawn into doubtful invest. ments, with their oyes open. There are ianumerable in- stances, still fresh in the recollection of mary, where the estimates were {ull as flattering as those put forth by this company, and the reality nothing but ruin to those in- volved in them. We have only to refer to our stock list for evidence of the immense losses the original sub_ scribers to certain stocks have experienced. Stool which are there quoted at forty and fifty per cent, ha cost the original subscribers par ; and we cannot call to mind more than one or two railroads in the country the stocks of which have not becn seld many percent below par since their construction commenced. The Erie Railroad, which we have before mentioned, isa very striking illustration of this thing; and, with this fact before the public, we can hardly believe that another will be added to the list. Weare informed thet Mathew Morgan, Esq , Las already abandoned the river route, and we are induced to be- lieve that several of those who tako such a deep interest in that line, have other considerations than those directly connected with the road as a profitable investment. The absent associates alluded to, have given in their adher. ence toa more feasible route, and wetrust, now the question is agitated, that the citizens of this city will do- termine at once which of the two routes to Albany is the most feasible, and concentrate their capital and their energies upon it, that a speedy completion may be en- sured. We must have a railroad to Albany, and it is not right that the public mind should be distracted by the superior pretentions of one route over another any loxg- | er thon justice really requires.

It also appears that nearly outstanding on the Ist inst. Wo have as yet no accounts of any notes having been issued under the new act, but the absence of an official notice of proposals for a loan us to believe that they will be issued as rapidly ible, or ns fast as the wants of the government re quire, ‘Allthe government will require for the next yoar independent of the receipts from the usual sources according to the estimate of tho Secretary of the Trea- sury, will be ten millions of dollars, and it is very pro- bable that this amount will be raised in the same way, the first ten millions was, viz: ive millions by an issue of treasury notes, and five millions by a direct loan. ‘Tho recent rise in government stock was caused by the belief capitalists generally entertained, that the wants of the treasury would bo satisfied by an issue of treasury notes from time to time, instead of creating more stock. It was supposed thet the appearance of a large amount of these notes in the market, would make things easier, and upon this supposition prices advanced, andthe new United States sixes went above ber. An issue of proposals for a new Joan of ten millions, would not only depress the nominel and actual value of the government stock now on the market, but it isa matter ‘Ofmuch doubt whether the loan would be taken. It Gould ploce the treasury in @ very ombarrassiog posi- tion to failin such ‘a movement, and it is, therefore, vory importent that nothing of the kind should be attempted, without the best assurances that it would be successful. An issue of treasury notes for five millions of dollars, in sums of fifty dollars and upwards, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per snnum, would draw that amount of money from partios who have it now in de- positories, inno way connected with the commerce of the country, and would add so much to the evailable capital, and increase tho facilities of trade. An addition of five millions of dollars to th active currency of the Hiv: State of River. 9 feet. country, would relieve our money markets very mate- rinlly, and enable the Secretary of the Treasucy to make ‘a direct loan for the other five millions upon more fa yorable terms than he could under existing circum stances realize or expect.
