ee OOS MR. BENNETT'S LETTERS Lonvon, July 3, 1847. The principal topics at this moment are the prospecrof the crops—the condition of the mo- ney market—the approxchiag dissolution of Par- liament—the mighty contest between Grisi and Jenay Lind—the visit of the Queen to the far north of Scotland, and the marriage ofthe Duke of Wellington with Miss Burdett Coutts— he gteat hero and the greet heiress, just uniting on the edge of eternity. With respect to the most important question— the state of the crops—I find it almost impossi- ble to form aey accurate opinion, umongthe nany conflicting statements from all quarters. At pre- sent, the most general opinioa is that the crops will be good—tair—an averag There may be a failure of the potuto—but it cannot produce the deficiency of last year, because not so many have been planted. At all events, itis considered that with their best prospects, a large supply will be required in Europe from the United States. Every thing seems to confirm this opinion. Ihave been in London nearly ten days, and have been quite busy all the time. London is truly an extraordinary place—particularly in the fasbionuble season. The display of wealth and grandeur is as enorinous at the west end, as that of poverty and wretchedness in the dark lanes of the city, or in the central parts. Parliament js stillia session, and probably will continue so for a month to come. This body 1s engaged in patching up the sores and broken parts of an old and worn out constitution—for the venerable constitution of England is nothing but a vast ac- cumulation of the contradictory practices of a thousand years, devised for the purpose of ena- bling the nobility and their retainers to prey upon the labor and industry of the rest of the nation. Polities and political parties are in a dreadful state of confusion in this unequal land. All the old parties of whig, tory, liberal, repeal, and char- list or republican, are all in a state of utter con- fusion. There is no great question ogitating the nation. The potato rot has ruined all the politie cians of the day. The questions which oceupy the attention of Parliament are the smallest that can be talked about—the reform of towns—of the poor systems—of railroads, &c., &c. The pre- vent tendency of legislation is to centralize all sorts of small powers in the executive govern- ment—and this executive government is merely a coalition of the great nobles for the time being In the approaching elections, wll the old and stale topics of half a century will be raised.— Two new interests have began to show them” selves inthe present movements of party—the railway interest and the Jewish interest. Three Hebrews, of the highest rank and heaviest purses, are going to run for the House of Commons, and an opposition is getting up against them, on ac- count of their religion. It is believed, however, that the railways will have a prodigious prepon- derance in the next elections. Mr. Cobden, the soul of the lute League, has come on the carpet ugain—and he has directed public attention to the necessity of conducting the elections so as to secure the ground they have already got in the cause of fret trade. The political calm which pervades England | cannot lust long. New and important questions will spring up—and probably umong the first will be free trade in land, or the abolition of entails. When I was in Manchester I had an interview with a prominent member of the late League, and such, he tuld me, would be the next popular movement. { am persuaded that they are oa the eve of great chunges in the politics and society of England—it may be slow, or it may be rapid; but it will come to pass sooner or later. At pre- sent the Parliament and the politicians confine themselves to reforms on the mere outworks of society. Under the prestnt state of the electoral body, they never will be able to touch the great feudal monopolies in church and State. Another element—an important element—of society, which will engage my attention, is the state of the newspaper press, both in London and in the provinces. The daily newspaper press in London isa vast and powerful institu- tion. Its influence and activity are generally directed against the old institutions of society, and in favor of reform and change. I do not think that a free newspaper press and an heredi- tary nobility, or national church, can long exist quietly together in the same land. At this mo- ment, the London newspuper press is undergoing an internal revolution similar to that which begun in New York in 1835, and in Paris in 1836. A cheap daily press is springing up in London which will put out of existence some of the old established journals. I allude particu- larly to the recent establishment and remarka- ble success of the Daily News. This journal | was established more than a year ago, and is sold for three pence, while the old established papers still get five pence per copy. The conse- quence is, that the Daily News has already reached a circulation of over 20,000 per day, | being actually more than the circuiation of the Times; while the other duilyfpapers are declining | | daily. The Morning Chronicle has a circula- | tion of only 2500, or thereabouts, and is in the market. The Herald and Post are not over 8500 each. The cheap newspaper press of London is des- tined to achieve as great a victory as the like system has done in New York and Paris. But while newspaper literature is in the midst of a great end important revolution, that must ele- vate itto the highest condition of intelleetual power, the general literature of the day seems | to be sinking lower and lower all the time. In- | deed, the literature of England seems to have degenerated into mere gossip. Hardly a book is published that is worth reading, unless it be on some practical science, or some new vein of history. The United States are in the midst of | an age of dction—of enterprise—by which na- | tional character is formed and fashioned.— | | especially of those who could | N. ¥. Farmers’ Club ‘Theatricals.

Every Sabbuth a splendid concert of sa- cred music is performed there by Dodworth’s celebrated cornet band, composed of the most admired selections from the comporitions of Haydn, Rorsini, Weber and many others. This evening some twelve pieces, many of them of great beauty; among them Handel’s delight- ful balielujuh chorus—the prayer from the oratorio of Moses in Egypt—Handel’s hymn to the night, ke. ko, will bv performed, affording a treat to our citizens which they will surely partake of. ‘The price of admission, we believe, is only one shilling.

Aanicuntunar E won TO GREENPORT, BY T Memuexs or THE Farmers’ CLua, Amunican Ino urs —In compliance with a liberal invitation of the President and Directors of the L. 1. R. Road Company ubove sixty of the members of the Club, and a ovnsider. able addition of invited guests, started in two admirably appointed trains on Thursday last, for the purpose of as- certaining the capxbility of the soil of Long laland for objects of agriculture, aud making such areportas might direct public attention to the vast tracts of land, pow ip a general state of wilderness, The company cousisted of ull that have devoted their time and talents to tl tof practical husbandry. Three ofthe Trustees titute, several of the leading members of the Farmers’ Club. Gen. Chandler, Col Clarke, Messrs, Wakeman, Hyatt, Seba Smith, Prof, Tanele, and a host of other literary, commercial aud agricultural gentlemen, formed an array of intellectual power that seldom have met under similar circumstanors. ‘Che movements of the day were regulated by Mr. Williamson, civil engineer, whose attention in every respect justly merited the grati- tude of the company. From Jamaica to Riverhead, along the margin of the railroad, that portion of the Is- land is almost in a state of primitive sterility, including some 17,000 acres in the towns of North Hempstead sod Hempstead, generally considered unfit for cultivation, ‘fhis tract ix neld by the town asa common, the title to it being, as far as could learn, nover sufficiently proved, although contested in 1808, 1818 and 1821, by Samuel Denton and others, as heirs of the original’ patentees, (the Duteh patent of 1640). ‘This may supply one cause for this extensive prairie remaining in its primi- tive and uncultivated state, ‘The raiiroad through this plain to Hicksville, and from Hicksville to Farmingdale, with little or no cultivation — From Farmingdale to Riverhead, the opening of the railroad has encouraged @ few settlements with very considerable success, and no doubt by proper enterprise equal results would follow from the cultivation of the euormous amount of 280 square miles that form the contents of the wild regiou, while an abundant supply of excellent water can be oblained at depths from 12 wo 60 fevt. At the Suffolk station, the wells are 90 feet above tide water, and two miles north of this, are found the waters of the siissiqugue River, which flows through Smithtown atid empties into Long Isiund sound.

To uscer- tain by comparison and analysis, the properties of each soil, formed the principal object of this excursion, At Hempstead, the first digging was made, which was con- tinued through the whote of tbe line; at each place the trains were stopped and the venerable Mr. Alien employ- ed in raixiug tue soil, ll of which has been carefully preserved awaiting the report of the club. No portion of this 1hg route presented a more rich or prospering con- dition of crops, than those that were examined at Riverhead, where the crops of corn, potatoes, grass, ke., flourished’ with peculiar vigor, all being under an excellent system of agricultural management. Krom bence, the company passed through Mattituk, Culeho- que and Southold, to the bewutiful village of Greenport, where an eulerisimment, in every way suitable Lo the oraving necessities of the company, aud credita- bie to the well known taste of Mr. Fairgild, the pro- prietor of the Pecouie House, was prepared, und duly honored by over sixty, all aud each of whom did suite ble justice to his well provided table. As healthy wa- tering place, with every facility of rea bathing, tisuing, &e, Greenport stands unequalled; and the Peconic House, in every respect, is adapted to the wauta of fami- lies or individuals, under the auspices of the present manager. At eight in the evening, @ meeting of the Farmers’ Club was organized in the large hall of the ho- tel, to which as many of the neighboring farmers a8 could be collected, attended. General Chandler was ap- pointed President; Colonel Clarke and Mr. Ryder of Jamaica, Vice-Presidents, and Mr, Spooner, Seoretary. The general subject of agriculture, agricultural colleges, the farming properties of Loug Isiaud occupied the at- tention of the club, in which Dr, Underhul furnished | his views on the subject of manure, the properties of ewch, aud the upward movement they produce on soils and vegetables in the leaching. Colouel Spooner, from long experieuce , testified his conviction of the qualities of Long Island for agriculcure over any other section of the United states Mr. Gifford, of New York, pressed the necessity of afall inquiry into tl Tate against the cultivation of the tinuing in a state of these lands were proved capable of cultivation, pur- chasable at prices from three to ten dollars an'acre, they could not fail or attracting general attention, more wreby raise vegetables and fruit forthe New York market. Dr. Peck, of Ja- matca, gave his testimony to the value of the Long Is- land lands, and asserted that they bad lain waste from a variety of causes, for nearly two centuries since the first settlement, as well as from an obstinate and unconquer- able persuasion that they were inoapatle of cultivation, He nevertheless bad a hope that such an unfounded prejudice was subsiding, and boldly asserted his convic- tion that every acre could, eventually, from investiga tion, be profitably cultivated. Professor Mapes, Colonel Clarke, Mr, Dewey, aud others, spoke on various topics, when the club adjourned, voting uuenimously tho thanks of the New \ ork Farmers’ Club, to the President, Directors and Agents of the L. |. R.R.Co,and to the superintendent, Mr. ives, for the very gentlemanly man- ner in which they farnished and conducted # train tor their use, free from all charges, in making an agricultu- ral visit to Greenport, and the intermediate towns On Friday morning, the company returned in the trains, and stopping at Jamaica, orgauized another meeting of the Farmers’ Club, Gen. Chandler presiding, when, amongst other acts, they voted that ‘ the thanks of the ‘are especially duo to Mr. T. D. Wil- Mamson, civil engineer, for his uuremitted attention to the comfort und convenience of the club, during their journey to and from Greenport to vhecity of New York.’ ‘The company arrived ut one o'clock at Brooklyn, having Here, in England, it is an age of luxury, of twat- | S¢complisbed « great portion of the return trip'at the tle, of gossip—but there is no original spirit of | iterature such as has distinguished former ages in England. I believe that henceforth, the newspaper press will, both in England and in | France, develope a new and important character | in the intellectual movements of the age. | I have a great deal to say of theatricals and | theatrical personages, but have little time to | make along story. There are two Italian operas | here, rivals to each other. Jenny Lind and | Julia Grisi are the two heroines of the day. 1 | have heard both frequently, and they are both | great artists, but can hardly be called rivals— | tor their peculiar traits are altogether unlike. | Jenny Lind is by no means equal to Grisi in| such high tragic ré/es as “* Norma,” but they are | more on a footing of equality in other charac- ters. Jenny Lind is not beautiful, but extreme- ly interesting. Her voice is wonderful in power, compass, skill. It is more of # pure soprano than Grisi’s voice. The rivalry between these two great artists has filled both the opera houses during the present season, as full as they could be packed. Fanny Elssler has been here danc- ing, and has returned to Italy. She is about leaving the stage, and is going to marry a French count, and will henceforth, live in Patio as Me dame la Comtessa Somebody.

Tue Cuinese Juxx. —It is customary to speak of the Chinese as @ barbarous and unenlightened people, whose highest pleasure consists in smoking opium, and other- wise iadulging their auimal appetites. without aspiring to anything higher. In thisa great mistake has been committed, for on board the Chinese junk oan be seen specimens of portrait painting which are highly oredita- ble to their aruists, In the mechanic acts they have some queer notions, which cannot be reconciled to ours. Evidence of this is seen in the architecture of the craft itself, as well a# ia everything pertaining to her. She is decidedly sui grneris, and cannot be compared to any thing we have ever seen. Nothing equal to her can be seen this side of China. New Buttoin We perovive that in the vicinity 270 Madison street it is in contemplation to erect | new buildings, on the site lately occupied in thie quarter as # stone and coal yard, and which has remain- ed vacatt for some time. A building is in course ot erection at the opposite side, and betore the materials are drawn on the spot, it may not be out ot place, to re- commend to the partivs concerned, not to obstruct the sidewaiks or street by heaping an’ unnecessary pile of building myteriais on the public high We h had occasion to frequently comment upon this abuse. aod a friendly admonition at the start, we trust, will have th sired effect. There already too many wbuses in the shape of nuisance upon the streets, which must be placed upon the black catalogue against the Sircet Inspector und his subordinates, who allow filth and garbage to remain for weeks upon our public thorougufares, from which arises noxious effluvia, calculated to generate fever and dis- at this season of the year. Indeed the public rub- bish o seldom are seen in this and the neighboring streets, and all sortsof filth and garbage are allowed to remain there, which they are bound to remove. In other respects Madison street is being much impr ved.

C3 = AccrpestaL Dearn.—A coroner’s inquest was held in Stockport on the 18th of July inet., on the body of Martin Van Sickler. who came to his death on Friday last, under the followiug circumstances, He called on Dr. Joon H. Philip, a homopathic physician, for some pills for » pain in the side, ko, Dr Philip gave nim two vials of pills, one containing 24 the other 32 pills, with written directions to take one three times a day, and if itproduced any burning pain, then to take but half of one ata time. It seemeu from the testimony on the inquest, that Van Sickler's illness was feigned, and that there was au understanding between him and De Schermerhorn, of Stockport, that he should get the pills and take them, for the SS of ridiculing Dr. Philip and his medicine De Schermerhorn assured Van Sickler that he need not be afraid to take the waole lot, ge they would burt noone. Accordingly Van Sickler took the whole of the pills, under the advice of Dr. 8., and the result was his death about one o'clock the next morning. Dr. Philip testified that he was called on the night of the 16th, by Dr. Schermerhorn, who wished him im- mediately togo and see deceased. Dr. P. told himit was uselves if he had taken all the medicine he sent at onee, as it would produce death, ‘According to the testimony of De.

In lieu thereof the whole spring was, so far-as respects rain, highly sea- sonable, And when summer came, instead of a diminu- tion we have an increase of wet.

In to corn, the venerable gentleman above mentioned saya he has never seen & finer crop. And reully what we have observed in several counties convinces us that he is right. Of cotton, the general report is, (except where the grass has been esa yar ble.) that it is extrava- gantly flourishivg—fartoo much so, for the satisfaction of sagacious planters. “Too much weed and too few bolls,” even should there be no caterpillar. which every one confidently fears, it is not thought the yield of cot- ton will be large. But in regard to corn there can be no mistake—an abundant harvest seems certain. ‘The editor of the Baptist Telegraph and Florida Emi- grant learns that hundreds of acres in Benton county, Florida, will average of corn thirty bushels per acre.— We most heartily rejoice at the prospect of » grain crop in South Florida. We are convinced that nothing but @ want means of subsistence can prevent that sec- tion of our State from being rapidly populated.—T'alla- hassee Journal, 12th inst. From every quarter we hear the most encouraging re- rta of the state of the corncrop. There is no doubt ut that it will exceed that of any previous year in Flo- rida. In Duval, St. John’s, Columbia, and Alachua counties, it will be double that of the last year, and in Benton county, where the lust crop entirely failed, and the inhabitants were almost reduced to a etate of starva- tion, it is immen: The Sea Island cotton crop is now at a crisis, and we know not whether there will be none all, or whether it will be unusually good. The great fallen during the last six quantity of rain which has weeks, made the plant tender. Ifthe wet weather should suddenly cease, and we have a period of drought the fruit will inevitably fell the crop will be de} stroyed. On the contrary, if the weather becomes drier by degrees, and we have short alternations of wet and dry weather, the crop we understand will begreater than any previousone. The caterpillar fly has appeared, and ifwe have much more very wet weather, succeeded by Yery hot weather, the worm may be very destructive This is the state of the cotton crop in this county. but we are happy to hear that in the other counties of East Florida, it is not subject to similar contingencies. ‘The accounts from Marion, 8t.Joun’s, and Alachua, are in the highest degree encouraging.—Jacksonville News, 12th inst. ‘The Columbus (Miss) Democrat of,the 10th says, the yield of corn in that region will be greater than has ever been known before, ‘The cotton crop is backward, but promises to be an average one. ‘The grain throughout this and the adjacent countios, says the Madison (W. T.) Democrat, looks remarkably forward and tbrifty, as indeed does all other crops ex- cept corn, which has been materially injured, it not pearly destroyed by gophers, Of every description of plautlog save core, we shall, without doubt, have more than an average crop, and much of it Will be harvested in the course of the next two or three weeks.—Daily Wisconsin, A gentleman, well soquainted in East Tennessoe, in- forms us that he has never seen the crops in that eec- tion of the State, look 80 promising as they do now.— Nashville Union, isth inet. Awriter from West Bloomfield. New York, says he has travelled and observed attentively the ‘fields of Western New York. There are meay pieces of poor wheat, having suffered by an unfriendly winter. ‘There are ‘els many very good pieces, averaging on this score, would make the yield afuir one, But in addition to this, the straw is thin and thick alike, remarkably bright and clear, and the berry plump and unaffected by blight; and all fields have thickened up much within the last six weeks. So that all things cousidered, the yield will be as good ax the average in the New York wheat region for the Inst ten years, ‘The yield will bear comparison with the croukings on the subject, and therefore a famine need not be apprehended this year. ‘The dry westher has retarded the ont crop, and it does not promise a great return; while on the contrary barley is universally most abundant. Corn is also mag- nificent. This crop never looked more luxuriant. Potatoes have yet to establish their character, but nothing can be brought against their fair stand- ing thus far. Hay hes nothing farther to gain. In sone towns it has done budly, while in others, the swath is heavy and fragrant as’ the breath of a virgin With the straw of other crops well husbanded. there will bean abundance of fodder for all tho beasts of the field; and efter all the fears of the timid, there can be no lack of the substantials to keep man alive and kick- ing until about the middle of June next. Tn fuct, we hear hardly croak sinov the harvest has commenced. ‘The visions of scarcity are fast melting away, aud in their places are seen the realities of golden plenty. Wheat, Indian corn, rye, barley, outs, hay, and even the fickle crop of potatoes seem determined to give the lie to the groundless forebodings of the early fright- ened ‘prognosticntors of want; the too ready heralds of imuginary, frost blight, rust, fly, wevil, &e. The ery is now from ‘the farmers themselves. who are culling out right lustily for help to harvest thelr grain; and they are willing to give ton, twelve, and even fourteen sbil- lings per day for workmen, rather than want their rer- vices, ‘This all certainly looks like any thing but pros- pective scarcity.

A few gentle- men, five in all, among whom was Dr. J. F. Pendergrast, united in establishing aschool in the vicinity of Dr. Ps residence. In February last, Mr. W. W. Buchanan, of Pennsylvanta, was employed as a teacher ; and Dr. Pendergrast, having taken s dislike to him, not only re- fused to send his children to the school, but in every way attempted to injure Mr. B. in the estimation of those whore confidence he had won. At length, Mr. B, having submitted to tals treatmentas long as he thought suitable, addressed a letter of remonstrauce to the Doo- tor, and hereupon, as it seems, the Doctor declared that Mr. B, should never teach in the school-house again. ‘The neighbors of Dr. Pendergrast were still satisfied with Mr, B.’s teaching, and three of the five owners of the achool-: ouse employed him for another quarter ; one of the three being the husband of Dr. Pendergrast’s sis- ter. On the 14th of June Mr. Buchanan went to one of the owners of the school-house, who had the key, and re- quested him to go over with him and put him in peace- able possession of the house, in order to guard against « difficulty with Dr. Pendergrast. This gentleman, Col. Montgomery, complied with the request, and took bis daughter aong as # pupil. Soon after they reached the school house, in which some six or seven children were ‘assembled, while Mr. Buchanan was sitting on the step near the door, and Col Montgomery was’ sitting inside of the house ‘near the door, Dr. Pendergraat was seen sullying forth from his dwelling, with his three sone and 4 negro man, the negro carrying @ busket of rocks and the Doctor's double: barrelled gun, and when they reach- ed the school-house, the Dvotor saluted both sir. Bu- chanan and Col. Montgomery with the most offensive and insulting epithets he could muster into service, aud commanded them to lowve his house, accompanying the order by throwing rocks twice at Mr. Buchanan Col. Montgomery mildly replied to Dr. Pendergrast that be bad ax much privilege there as he had; upon whioh, one of the boys assaulted Col.
