"NEW YORK, T tate —————— Snes Splritofrthe Age—Rallyads and Canals, In Progress and In Contemplation. The magnetic telegraph, acting as 8 spur to the | spirit of improvement, has given anew impetus to Americanenterprise, which manifests itselfin no | way more strikingly than by presenting a view | of magnificent projects for facilitating communi- cation between points of importance, far distant | from each other. Our business men—now | able to send acommunication to a correspon- | dent in Cincinnati, St. Louis, or Petershurg, and | receive an answer, in as short a time as if their billet went only to the next street, and returned— can no longer bear the idea of creeping with their merchandise through thousands and thou- sands of miles of rough sea, in order to gain ac- nent. It seems, somehow, unnatural to seek the islands of the North Pacific, or even the China Sea, by the long and wearisome way of the North and South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, whenaroute so much more direct lies westward, across our own territory and the Pacific Ocean. The increasing interest taken in the subject ofa great national railroad from the Atlantic States to the Pacific coast, the recent survey of the north- western passage, the many projects for railroads and canals across the Isthmus. of Tehuantepec, or Darien, are all phenomena showing the exis- tence of great schemes, which, though asyet in- cipient,will assuredly, at no very distant day, be consummated. Meanwhile, the vigor with which new railroad and canal enterprises are carried on, throughout the United States, is indicative of the national feeling, which cannot consent to be behind the most active in enter- prises affecting the great commercial arm. The various and varied interests of merchants, miners, manufacturers, agriculturists, and lumbermen, all combine to demand new ways of travel. They all want a railroad acrcsa Oregon; are all in favor of either a canal or railroad across the Isthmus; are anxious to see a ship-canal across the peninsula of Florida; are favorable to open ing a northern route to the Mississippi. But to notice these enterprises something more in detail—by connecting canals, the St. Lawrence is to be joined to Lake Champlain, and thus made serviceable as a great highway for the products of the fertile northwest, seeking an eastern market. The only canal necessary to be built, in order to accomplish this, will not be more than thirty miles long, and will cost only $500,000—an amount insignificant, when com- pared with the result to be gained; an important conjuction will be formed, and the initiatory step to a new class of enterprises be taken. Another and still more important movement is that which proposes to fill up the spaces at present intervening between the termini of various rail- roads which stretch, with but few intervals, from New York, the eastern, and other Atlantic States, far away towards tae northern valley of the Mis- siesippi. Substantial roads through the States of New York and Massachusetts, are already in the most active employment from the cities of New York and Boston, to the Niagara frontier. It is now proposed to build a road across the Canada paninsula, lying between the Niagara river on the east, and the Detroit and St. Clair rivers on the west. Other roads are proposed, to extend over our own territory, along the southern shores of Lake Erie; but the Canadian road would be more direct, requiring but 286 miles to connect Niagara and Detroit. At Detroit, the line isagain resumed over the lines already built across Michi- gan, and thus pushes westward till the produc- tive regions of the Northern M ippi ere reached. When all these undertakings are com- pleted, there will be almost a straight line of stores of Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, and low: ‘can be with great facility brought to our market A glance at a map is all that is necessary to see at once the great utility of this movement. ‘The railroads through the States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, now far advanced towards completion, will form another of these grand arteries, and will open new sources of profit and wealth. The investment in this and other railroads in the single State of Georgia, will amount to over $15,000,000. A line is also to be constructed (in all probability,) trom Mobile to Columbus, in Kentucky, 20 miles below the mouth of the Ohio river; and a twin enterprise, to this last one, proposes the building of still another line from St. Louis to Cincin- nati, via Vincennes, Indiana. And finally comes the proposed ship canal across Florida, which can be built for $500,000, and which would ena- ble vessels to avoid those dangerous keys and shoals which lie in euch profusion around the southern point of the Peninsula. ‘These are only the long lines of railroads and | the sheep raised in cold canals, of common interest, so to write, and do not teuch upon the extensive works which lie entirely within single States, like the Erie Railroad in our own State, the seve- ral roads in Pennsylvania, and the mavy projected ones in the New England States, which last have already $50,000,00® invested in | this kind of property. It will not do to call these projected schemes mere speculations, which will never be realized. They will be realized in full. Not only will these, but other great lines, not yet thought of, be built, as new, resourees are developed. Our more enterprising States already appear bound and cross-bound by these bands of iron. In seventeen y we have built five thousand miles of railroad, at an outlay of nearly one hundred and twenty- three millions of dollars, and have others com- menced, and in various stages of progress, to complete which will require thirty-five millions more ; and every year gives confidence to capi- talists, and renewed. vigor to enterprises of this kind. The trath is, that the interests of all classes are so immediately concerned, that the whole nation may be said to have their shoul- ders at the wheel, toaid forward these useful works, which, in their construction, furnish em- ployment to so many scientific men, artizans, and | laborers, and which, when completed, will so materially benefit the farmer and the merchant, by the speedy transportation of merchandize and agricultural products. Every new railroad isa sure developer of some new resource, by which individual and national prosperity is in- creased.

About 9 o’clock thia morning, a scow, hating on board twe new boilers for the steamer Baltic, ‘was driven from her berth near the ship yard, when, pitching the boilers into the creek, she moved rapidly onward with the current, coming in contact with reve- ral versels, but doing no very serious damage, with the exception of starting others to bear her company. The Steamer United States and schooners Agnes Barton aud Marthe Freme were carried out with the current, The steamer received little or no damage, and lies a short distance below Sandytown. She will be brought into port some time to-day probably. The Agnes Barton is anchored about half & mile from the pier, and we un- derstand has her bows and stern stove in. She is in- tured. The Martha Freme and the acow probably went below Black Rock, as they had not beon heard from uj to 12 o'olock. P.§—The Martha Kreme is at anobor three down the river, on the Canada side. - Origin of the Phrase “Going the Whole Hog” —Mahomet and Mr. Clay. It is generally supposed that this expression is an Americanism and of American origin. We be- lieve, however, that this is a mistak, and that, al- though the phrase has obtained greater currency in this country than in any other,owing to the dis. position ot our people to take up with expressive and sententious metaphorical expressions,the ori- gin of the saying in question isto be traced to Tur- key, and is derived from an article of the creed of Mahomet. It is well known that Mahomet copied largely from the Jews, and engrafted, as far ashe was able, and the times in which he lived would allow, many of their institutions into his own policy. Thus, among other things, he re- quired all his disciples to undergo circumcision. The fact is, Mahomet was halfa Jew. Now, he was very desirous to prohibit in hia new religious code the eating of pork, after the manner of the Jews; but this was indeed a difficult thing, as many of the people who followed him were very fond of pork and bacon. What did he do then ?| He showed consummate skill, both in attaining his own desired end, in making the prohibition, and yet in conciliating the lovers of pork, by giv- ing them a chance of indulging occasionally in a feast upon their favourite dish. The plan he hit upon was the following :—He prescribed it as a religious duty that every Mahometan should ab- stain from pork on pain of damnation, and at the same time said that there was, however, one | small clean part of the animal which might be eaten. He took care, however, not to mention what that part was; and the consequence is, that among the religious Turks, one eats one part, and another eats another—each one believing that the part he* eats is the permitted part; and so among them all; one eating one part and an- other another, they eat up, or go the whole hog. Mahomet showed ‘in this, his profound know- ledge of human nature ; for, by allowing the dainty gourmands among his flock to eat a little bit, and forbidding the rest, he united, at one and the same time, both prohibition and permis- sion; thus pleasing the bigots and pleas the gourmanda’ appetites. Hence the origin ot"the phrase “going the whole hog,” which is as much as to say, “if you take a lit- tle you might as well take all.” The melan- choly poet Cowper, the facetious author of “John Gilpin,” has made the Mahometan rule of faith more familiar to the world,and perhaps originated | the phrase here referred to, in that pretty little poem of his, beginning— “Thus saith the prophet of the Turk— Good Mussleman, abstain from pork,’’ ko. Now Mahomet is not the only statesman who has shown his art in leaving a little loop-hole where- by he may admit the very thing to be done which he pretends to say ought not to bedone. As Ma- homet said to his followers: ‘‘ Don’t eat pork; by no means touch it; if you do you are lost and tuined. But—yet—you may take a very litile bit”—so in the very same manner, the great statesman of Kentucky says to his followers : “Don’t touch Mexico—give up Mexico—if you hold Mexico it will rein you. But—yet—you may take San Francisco.” Now, we hold that it is just as good, honest, and proper to eat the whole hog, as to eat a little slice of it; and we maintain it is just as honest and proper to hold all Mexico, as to take a little bit In other words, of those who say “take it all,” and of those who say with Mr. Clay, “only take San Irancisco,” the former are unquestion- ably the most honest and most rational. Meeting of the Farmers’ Clab. Tvsspay, Jan. 4, 1848.—This being the first semi-monthly Loni dy the Club, a numerous and influential assemblage of the members, and several practical agriculturists. were called to order, on the appointment of R. L. Pell to the chair. Amongst the books presented to the insti- tute by the French.government, was one entitled the “Cours d’Agriculture,” of the Coun* Gaspane, published in Paris in 1847, on manures, in which the theory of Zethen Zule, who wrote early in the last century, was revived, the prin- ciple of which was, that the earth, reduced to fine particles, was the principal nourishment of plants; that the salts contributed to attenuate the articles, water to extend the parts, and air and heat to ak them a suitable activity ; but still the earth always remained the effective part, manure’ operating only to divide the molecules of the earth by fermentation. The natural infe- rence of Zethen Zule appears to be, that the more the particles of the earth are divided, and the more the interior powers are multiplied, the more the surface of the molecules is augmented, and so much the more will the earth be brought into contact with the plant, and thereby render- ed more fertile, leaving manure merely as a costly auxiliary, and, consequently, ascribing fertility to labor rather than manure. From another of the presentations to the insti- tute was read an extract from a work on the first discovery in Scotland of the value of High- land wool. When the product was taken from and barren moun- tains, it was asserted that sixty thousand yards were spun from one pound of wool, and when ma- nufactured into stockings, realised 30s. a_pair. Gloves of the same material were sold to Lady Mary Drummond, a member of the Duke of Perth’s family,at five guineas a pair. An article, also, on the breed of Arabian horses, was also jread, possessing no interest. A paper on Mr. Dutcher’s improvement in the construction of 4 plough, was read; the principol feature of which was, that the ‘sole of his plough, from heel to point, had an inch concave curvature, enabling the stem to dip. A communication was also read from Mr. Oakly, Clerk of the Superior Court, in which he copied an extract of a letter Norwich, England, complaining of the loose manner in which cheese, pork and provisions, generally, are shipped from the United States to European markets. The most olka tag por- tion of the proceedings of this day, was the ap- earance of Mr. Williamson, on his return from ‘ennessee, bearing with him several productions of the Southern soil, in exchange for specimens of Northern produce, which he undertook to in- troduce to the South; amongst the seeds he ex- | hibited to the Club, were those of the yam and sweet potato; upland rice, of 1 fine consistency, which grew in abundance 14,000 feet above the waters of Tennessee, producing 250 bushels to the acre; Moscow beans of the South, of supe- ing about 17 pounds, raised on high ground! by food in the uth for that species of poultry, that fattens them to the size of upwards of 30 | pounds; also specimens of Sea Island cotton, raised on the mountains of Tennessee,which last yaer produced 808 bales, and this year over 4,000. Alderman Hale moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Williamson, for his public spirit in thus recip- rovating the produce of the two extremes, and whereby their application to this country could be ted, rather than leave them to the careless or capricious management of the farmers, cmongst whom they were, on the spot, divided. The subject of the day, ‘the Agricul- tural School,” was then introduced, when a se- ries of printed reasons were read, showing | why aid should not be withheld by the Legisla- | tureto the American Institute, for the establish- ment of aa agricultural school and experimental farm, near tue city of New York. Several mem- bers recorded their conviction, not only of the necessity of such an institution, but of the local | advantages to be derived to the community in general, by the vicinity of New York being its | positton ; and after those present had signed the document, and other unimportant matters had been disposed of, the Club adjourned. ‘The spe- cimens from Tennessee, brought on by Mr. Wile liamson, and exhibited and distributed by him, were only asmall portion of those entrusted to his charge. ‘I'he larger bulk was destroyed by the receut explosion of a steamer on the Miseis- sippi, from which Mr. Williamson escaped with his life, and the portable packages of seeds in his possession. he had received from Mr. Sidney Hawes, of | rior size and flavor; an immense turnip, weigh- | feaeeeganis the turkey, or timothy, corn, the | P' 0 regretted the want of an agricultural college, | ‘The New Mall Contract-—Cunard [From the St, John’s, N. B., Courier.] ‘We have been favored with the perusal of a copy of the contract entered into on the Ist of July, 1846, between the lords commissioners o} the admiralty and Messrs. Cunard, Burns, and Melver, for the conveyance of her majesty’s reails between England and North America. The contractors are required to be provide from the Ist January, 1848, with eight good and efficient steam vessels, each to be supplied with engines of not less than four hundred horse power, and from the 3lst December, 1848, with nine such vessels, of such construction and strength as to be fit to carry guns of the largest calibre now used on board her majesty’s steam vessels of war, and to be equipped in the most efficient manner for the packet service. If required by the lords commissioners of the admiralty,the steamers are to call at Holyhead in the Irish Channel, for the purpose of receivi and delivering mails, and in case of stress o} weather or other unavoidable circumstance, the steamers should not be able to fetch, the River Mersey, the mails, with the officer in charge, may be landed at Bristol, Falmouth, Plymouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover, or Deal. In addition to the general penalty of £,30,000 | for non-performance of the agreements, the contractors are liable to a penalty of £100 for any delay or deviation on the voyage, without the sanction of the mail officer, who is to decide all discretionary questions as to the necessity of stopping to assist vessels in distress or to save human life. A penalty of £500 is also incurred in case of a delay of twelve hours after the ap- pointed time for leaving Liverpool, and also a rther sum of £500 for every successive period ot twelve hours which shall elapse until the de- parture of the steamer. The contractors to receive £85,000 per annum for the services between Liverpool and Halifax and Boston, and £60,000 per annum for those between Liverpool and New York, (either direct ‘or by way of Halifax)—making in all £145,000 per annum, to be paid quarterly. An additional allowance to be made to the contractors in case @ state ot war should occasion an increase in the rate of insurance or freight for coals, but not to exceed £40,000 per annum. The contract to continue for ten years from the first Saturday in January, 1848, and until determined by either party giving twelve months’ Notice after that period ; but. determinable by the contractors at any time after the first year, by a similar notice, on payment of £20,000 ; government to have thea the option of purchas- ing the vessels ata valuation.

European Markets—What Is to be done? The teeing techni ered just received from Eng- land, of a fall in the price of flour and other breadstuifs, ate moment when the necessities of England and Ire- Lief in tho money market, plainly indi- tes should @ivance; and, furthermo: the continued end iacreased depression in the English cotton market, (when that article had already been re- dused to its mininum,) eontrolling thereby the markets of Europe, prociaims to Americans, in terms the most con- olusive, that the time has come when their duty enjoins on them to pause and consider before embarking in auy farther es ped of these articles. Let us ask our- selves whether our necessities are so great for any arti- cles that Englaud can furnish, that we must needs sacri- fice individual interests and national prosperity in order to obteinthem? That the government of Great Bri- | tain is playing a deep financiering game in connection with the Rothschilds and Barings, is a truth so | t thet no one but an ignoramus can doubt it. Their government became frightened and ap- | palled at the severe pressure and panic occasion- | ed by the com, of such great amounts of bullion, | during the last’ year, to this and other countries, | for food, ke., and immediately set her plans in operation to produce a reaction, and a consequent return of the precious metals. How could she expect, by any natural means, to produce such a result, when she had just ex- erienced another failure of the potatoe crop, with bare- y an average crop of grain, which, without the potato crop, will only sustein her population for eight or nine months? Let any one calculate the vast amouat necesss: to pay for three or four months’ consumption of bread- stuffs for her thirty millions of population, and he will quickly see, that, beginning in November, with the bul- lion of the bank at but eight millions, the payments for food and cotton would, before the twelye months ex- pire.) are peu pa dollar from the ae of oe , ve other specie ta thet ‘country. Such would be the fate of Ei land, if business transactions were left to their ordinary course, and to attain their natural level ; and the resuit would be the annihilation of manufacturing superiority, and, as @ consequence, a great diminution in her com- merce and in the extent of her shipping. Results | so disastrous aod palling to the pride of Eog- | laud, have called into action the powers of the govera- ment itself to counteract the natural course of events: Combining their governmental control of the bank with the moneyed and financiering power of the Rothchild and Barings, they first produced s panic in the markets, forcing down prices so rapidly and fatally for the Ameriesn and Continental shippers, that millions of dollars of bills of exchange werg protested; and the very countries which were expecting immense returns for their produce, have thus been swindled out of fair pro- ceeds, and are compelled to ship specie to England to meet the payment of the dishonored bills of exchan, taat had been negotiated to third parti you to recur for a moment to the circumstanc: great influx of grain and flour to the ports of England was caused by a panic and consequent sudden rise in prices, which was generated by the British Ministry, in and out of Parliament; as tae speeches and circulars have made familiar to every one. Yes, astounding as it may appear, the past year has presented to the world the most singular anomaly of one Christian nation makiog use ef the whole power and patronage of her government, to defraud and prostrate the mercantile individuals of an- other country, and of that oas of which she claims to be the parent. Duped as Americans have been the past year, will they madly enter upon a similar career the succbeding one, when they perceive the high-handed game inoperation, which is sure to entrapthem! | trust not The important question, then, is this: — What is the amount of breadstutfs and of cottom at present held in England aud other psrts of Europe, on American ae- couat? ‘This is, doubtless, very large, and its withdrawal from sale would have an astounding effect upon prices. Let Americans, then, adopt this withdrawal at once, and not stop here, but also give orders for an immediate ai vance in ths prices at which these articles have be hitherto limited in London, Liverpool, and all other E: ropean ports. The eff course would be lect of such electrical, and would certainly prove the only effectual means of protecting American interests, and of ‘aly 2~ the unnatural, pernicious, and dishonest plaus of th ministerial combination toghich I have already refs: red. NASSAU, Fuvsuina, Deo, 29, 1847, Emigration, The influx of emigrants tcom Europe,through the past ear, has been immense—unparalleled in the aonals of he world. The tide set in with amazing rapidity early | im the spring, and continues unabated to the present | moment ; the great majority arriving in the most | fearful state of destitution and misery, havi: neither friends nor money. Starved at home, and | but famtshed or suffocated on ship-board, it is no cause | of astonishment that so many die at sea, or are placed in our hospitals on their arrival. It is, indeed, surprising | that any of them touch our shores alive. No one who has not witnessed them in theit misery in the old world, or their wretchedness in transit, can form the most dis- tant idea of their suffering. Their frames emaciated by | famine, and often by disease, ill provided with food and raiment for the hardships of a sea-voyage, huddled to- | gether in crowds, without regard to age or sex, in the | mntserable, filtby hold of a ship, dignified with the cap- | tivating names of ‘second oabia aud atecrage,” breath- | ing air impregnated with the most deadly poison—one | may consider it next to a miracle that #0 many escape with their lives.

The immense number ot thrown out of employment and rendered | borers | destitute by the mmeroial failure of England, can | find no relief save to North America, And there is no country un the sun which presents such an excellent field, nor is there a nation more anxious to | receive them in kindness and love, than the people of | the United States, | brethren in their distress, and have been and still are | willing to do their utmost for their relief, not for that | of the pampered ariatocracy, nor thore rotten ommer- | Cial establishments which ought to have crumbled to | pleces long ere now ; but those designated by an English | poet as “ their country’s pride”—the hard worked, ill | fed and poorly paid artisons and peasantry.
