Every farmer should subscribe for the Cultivator, and read it because a vast deal of manual labor is onnecessarily and completely lost and a great extent of soil remains in an un-cultivated condition, year after year; end benefits MO Hte a farthing merely for the want of the in-fcrmaUon, which an agricultural journal so abundantly imparts.

Horc. Six infants wcsrvsED by theis MOTHER. It appears, from a Gloucester paper, that a wo- 11 V. i vuci.lina mt Hilar. man named tancea i-iihch, dean-bill, in the Forest of Dean, being very ill, and probubly fearing to die with the undivuleed euilt ofmurder upon her conscience, i the Rev.

Heniv curate of Ruar- deun, that about twelve months since, she became the mother of a child by a man named Thomas Ynn. with whom she had been cohabitintr, fur oUnnt eiuhi or ten years i which child, after it hH livHt a few das. she destroyed by poisoninc it, after which she and Yapp burried it beneath the navement of the brew-house. The wretched added lhat she had been the moth er of five other children by the same man, un whom she had murdered at their Dirin, anu, wnn vr.i.' assistance, buried their bodies at sepa. rate spots, beneath the floor of the brew-honse, nii nor a barn adioinins: her These horrid confessions seemed, from their unexampled to be more like the ravings of delirium thaa truth; but, upon information bring given to the police, and a search being maae in me spots indicated, by the unnatural woman, the skeletons of her six murdered children were all found, and etamned truth upon a tale else too horrid lor beliel.

Ilnon this. Ybpd was taken into custody, and policeman, we believe, remained to take charge of the woman, who repeated the confession to her risier, and afterward to the policeman Fowler. The facts were intimated to J. Cook, and a warrant issued to summon a jury to hold an in quest. By this time, however, the woman Fran ip Bennett, had recovered in a measure the har dihood of her character, and on the inquest, which was held on Tuesday last, she positively denied ever having eiven birth to any children, except to two which she bore to her late husband, and whicn were alive now and she strongly persisted that she never made any communication such as that above stated, either to her sister, the police man Fowler, or the clereymnn, the Rev.

Mr. Formby. The latter frcntteuinn wm examined by tlanxuxl Ulhnyei and Be II ther admitted that the woman had made furtli disclosures and confessions to him, but as they were made to him in a spiritual capacity, he must decline to divulse them. After, without effect, endeavo ing to prevail upon Mr. Formby to state all that the woman had told him, and after una vailing remonstrances against the withholding of evidence, the Coroner left the point as it stood, and passed on to the examination of the sister of -j i ii- rances uenneu, wnoseevioence wan io mc riieci that on Saturday last, October 29, she was wilh her sister, who had been in a weak stale of health for some lime, and had been confined to her bed for about a week that before Mr.

Formby called, her sister made an alarm, and excluimed that she would have her dead children dug up, and buried in the church-yard. She said that, immediately after the children were born she held them under water till tliey were dead, and then she and Yapp hnr ed them. She added, that the last ol the six children was not served in this way, but lived for two or three da vs: that it was weakly, and she gave it some arsenic, and it died; that Yapp was very sorry when he found that this child wat dead, and said he would not have lost it for fifty pounds; and that they both together buried the child in the brew-house. At this staae of the proceedings it was thought advisable to adjourn the inquiry, in order to afford opportunity for further and more deliberate examination into the circumstances of this mysterious and very extraordinary affair, and the inquest was accordingly adjourned. Correspondence of the Tribune.

Baltimore, Tuesday, 8 P. M. A fire broke out yesterday morning about six o'clock, at the corner of Pratt street and Stable Alley, in the clothing store of Mr. William Male. The flames soon extended to the adjoining segar and tobacco manufactory of John B.

Moody, who occupied tbe upper part of the building as a dwelling. Before Mr. M. or his family could be alarmed the flames had spread to all the lower part of the house, and effectually cut off their retreat by tbe stairs. Mr.

M. thus found himself wilh his wife, six small children and several apprentice boys, confined in a room over a raging fire which threaten ed every moment to envelope them. The shrieks and cries, of the mother and children rose above the din occasioned bv the Firemen, and a ladder was readily got and placed to the window, up which mounted Mr. James Irwin, a member ofthe Union Fire Company, and succeeded in bearing off three ofthe children. He was followed in his work of mercy by Capt.

Briggs, of the schooner Direct, who carried off the remaining children, nd others then removed the mother and lather, the latter entirely overcome by the smoke which filled the room. The apprentice boys also made good their escape. The entire contents of Mr, Moody's store, together with all his furniture and apparel, were destroyed. From Mr. Moody's house the fire extended to the rear of Mr.

Hugh Boyle's warehouse. The loss will not be very serious. Mr. Male has insurance to the amount ofSOOO dollars in the Firemen's office on bis stock. Mr.

Moody's stock is insured for $3,500, and bis house for $2,500. Has also a policy or 00 on his fur-nitare. Mr. Gillett's stock of leas is covered by policies to the amount of Inasmuch as 1he teas were all removed, the damage it is sup posed, will be trifling. G.

roa paasiPrNT, i HEN11V CLAY, Of KENTUCKY. FROM WASHINGTON. December 12. In the House, the usual standing committees, and one on a National Foundry were announced. The resolution of Mr.

Adams to reciml the rule excluding Abolition Petitions, was laid on the table, ayes 106, nays 102. The President's Message was referred to the appropriate Committees. The portion referring to the Exchequer, after a short debate, was refer-red to the Committee on Ways and Means. In Senate, the usual standing committees were appointed, various resolutions presented, una no tices given of the introduction of bills.

There have been great changes in medicine since the time of Ilarpocratcs but the latrt snd mostjextrnordinary is that of M.

His patients sleep in wet sheets, with wet swatliings about their bodiisj nr nlunired into icv baths, nnd stand under streams of freezing water. They likewise drink it in quantities. The result is said to be to restore many to health who had been despaired cl.

Dr. Buchanan is causing quite a sensation in Vpw York, bv experiments in Neurolopy. These exhibit the brain in Us connexion with the ner vous system. Last night he lectured at the New York Lyceum, and a Mr. Foster was operatid upon, who exhibited nil the phenomena of pure.

nology, as particular organs were excited by Sir, Fowler, the phrenologist, who was present. A committee of very able gentlemen, has been unpointed to investigate the truth or fallacy of Neurology, and will probably soon report. We presume we shall shortly have physicians, also, who will attempt to practice upon the principles of the Germao Doctor. The latter has merely gone to the opposite extreme of Dr. Sangrado, who cured all diseases with hot water.

We of Brooklyn all recollect the old doctor who formerly had hundreds of patients in this city, when he profes-sed to cure by rain water. But the world is disposed to try new things, which in short time will become old.

Indeed, Public Opinion has been right apon the subject amongst us for many years.

Those who have fought duels have generally been violent and reckless men, who had no respect for the better and more general sentiment of the community, but vere disposed to subserve the notions of military and fashionable cliques. We are glad to observe that even at the South there is an evident feeling for the better on this subject. The following is from the presentment of the Grand Jury at New Orleans i Though duelling has been frequently touched upon by our predecessors, without success, for the last four years, the Grand Jury cannot but recom mend the passing of some law more lenient and more in consonance with our institutions. The law, as It is now, is too severe, and the public au thorities must be satisfied that, hardly, will ever a jury be found so firm and so unprejudiced as to enforce its penalties. The actual law is a perfect dead letter, and it becomes the duty of the Legislative power to determine whether it would not be more proper to abolish the present law and repress, by some proper enactment, this barbarous custom.

In the expectation, however, of seme other Legislative provision on this subject, the Grand Jury strongly recommends the prosecution and trial of every offender of the existing law, even were, in all cases the efforts of the Attcr-aey General to be fruitless. With proper legislation OA that score, the time might not be far when this State could get rid of a practice, absurd in it self, awful in its consequences, and to the sup pression of which the attention of the Government of everv civilized country is directed. Let the penalties be confined to a fine and imprisment, and to the support of the family of the deceased, and in case the relations of the deceased should not be in a situation to require said support, let the creditors have a right of action against the surviving party, nnd jurors will be bund to en force the law.

PuRtZZLEMENT OP Public Moneys. By an arrival from.

As they implicate individuals high in office nnd public estimation, we do not trust ourselves to re-nnrt them. We beg leave to remind our readers however, of our standing; prediction, that a fair examination into this sink of corruption, would disclose an extent orknavery almost unparalleled.

It hardlv be supposed that an institution could be used so long in corrupting the people, unless there was some corruption in its managers An investigation into its affnirs has always been sturdily resisted by those who Lave controlled its operations.

Mr. Richardson, of Hingham, is an sp-ple tree 200 years old. Twenty years ago it was hollow, and was supported by a mere shell, a rind not more than two inches in thickness. Mr. Richardson then had occasion to raise the ground for a way, to the height of five or six feet, with stone and gravel.

The stock of most farmers is improvable ud as it should be the aim of every one, to ira-! prove his stock of all kinds, and at the least possible expense to make it the most profitable, he can find in the Cultivator portraits of various animals, which in competition stand unrivaled and all the requisite knowing- to mUc bun in ma ters restive to the treatment of catties and particularly to sheep husbandry.

Wooawam, uumvaior, v. 68, who, speaking of agricultural journals, says, "could I have had the Cultivator, with the pre-ent light on the subject of farming, when I first commenced (eighteen years since,) I 'hink it would have beei more than $1,000 benefit to me. Also, to the testimony of that enthusiastic and devoted friend to agriculture, Commextatob, who, speaking of the value of your paper, says, your twostatis ical tobies, alone, would be a bargain at $2.00, could they not be obtained elsewhere.

From the earliest history of agriculture, until the present time, the implement most to be relied upon in tillage, because of its efficiency and universal applieation, is the common plow and in the Cultivator may be seen cuts and ecriptions of this, and other implements of great utility, such as the barrow, drill-barrow, cultivator, sVe. or which all may avail themselves, in the greatest degree of perfection. 7.

The Cultivator, wherever it circulates, is an agricultural lecturer; and by whomsoever it is perused, it scarcely fails to exert, in some degree, beneficial influence on them; and where its precepts are practiced, and strenuously adhered to the most unobserving mind would quickly remark the decided change that has been produced. 8. Each volume of the Cultivator is worth double the annual subscription to bind, snd to place in an agricultural library, as a volume to which reference may be made, in relation to the various sorts of husbandry i and in fact, to every thing appertaining to the affairs of the farm. It embodies a grand mass offsets, which in most cases, are the result of long experience it contains the improvements, which have been, and are now being made, in the cultivation of the soil; and, also, many in the mechanical department. It embodies the experience of many of the most scientific agriculturists of America which, alone, could not OmI to reader it valuable, useful an instructive to most classes of community.
