TH Vol. X., Mo. 10*?Whole Ho. M78. Meeting of the Hew York Formers' Clol A meeting was held yesterday of this Asflocialii in the rooms of the American Institute. Atnonj those present, were General Tallmadge, Color Clarke, Dr. Stevenson, Dr. Gardiner, Msssrs. Sli man, Brown, Boawell, Meigs, and a great mat others, who either took a part in, or came to w ne?s the proceedings, which were of a very use! and interesting kind Gen. Tallmadge was culled to the Chair, ui Mr. Meigs, who acted as Secretary, proceeded read a paper on grafting, which was submitted the club by Mr. Brown. This highly usef brancn was treated of at great length, and co: tained a particular, yet condensed treatise on gral tug. The diHerent modes were Bpecitied and cor pared; those most suiftble for different time places, and species of trees ; a correct specificatit of the mode of successfully performing and seci ring the operation, with a variety of illustrations i various kinds. When the paper laid been read, a vote of than! was passednrm con. to the writer, for which tli Chairinun said should be esteemed a valuable com munication. The Chairman then said that th meeting was open for any gentleman to make wha ever observations, on the subject before themgrafling?and to throw out any new or valuabl suggestions, which might occur to him thereor lie said that at these meetings they did not follov the plan of speaking. Finding that they could a tain their purpose as well by means ofcoiiversalior lie, theretore, hoped, that all would willingl join, and let them have collectively, the benel of their individual experience. A very interesting conversation then took place, an several gentlemen performed the process of grafting i the different modes, as chip, stock, slip, bud grafting, So l)r. Stevenson recommended the use of India Rubber as compost, instead of that generally used It was found t answer all the purposes, and was not disagreeable to liar die like the others. Re then submitted to the meeting a ingenious but useful plan of cutting the splice or join with such precision and uniformity that an exact tit si cured the jnuction of the surface of tbo inner hark, matter of first rate importance to the surety of the pn cess. Mr. Carter then performed a newlv-discovere method of bud grattiog, which he said rarely or nev? fails; it was called ''scallop budding." Mr. Itoswell reli tod to the meeting a manner of grulting practised by hint und Illustrated it particularly; the comport used in thi case was compounded of 1 lb. of; tar, J lb. of beeswax, an 3 o/.. tallow. It was objected by one of the gentleme that this was an inconvenient plan; that the compost rt tjuircd to be kept warm previous to its application to th joint engrafted; and that there was a surety in avoidin too great a degree of heat, us it was detrimental to th juice of the bark. Dr. Stevenson next drew the attentio ot the meeting to the subject of grafting the walnut. H said that a ere at improvement could be made by due attei tion to the matter. The Spanish chesnut had been trie in uns country, niu nardly un instance of over one in lift living through the severe winter waa known; yet b; grading them on walnut stocks, they could be easily a< climated. Mr. Bos well thought that if the need wor planted good Iruit could be procured. Or. Htevenso said that he had ascertained from experiment, that howet er inconceivable it was that a tree should produce fnti differing from that from which the seed came, it waa tru in this case, if the chesnut seed were selected with a due care, the fruit from the young tree would be found t possess' qualities of flavor, appearance, &c., and to t much degenerated. A very interesting question wi here started by Mr. Gardner. He called their attention t the assertion made by some good and credible authoritic that many?even as .many as 'iU, different species of fra. might be engrafted and flourish on the same stock. Fa his part, he did not see its perpetuity. Nevertheless it ha been spoken of by Colamella, Theophratus, and even b Pliny, the younger, who was considered a credible at thority, on matters relating to Natural History. Thl topic excited much interest and a minute was made of il likely for the purpose ol future investigation. The Chairmsn then rose to address tne Club. He sai there was a topic ol what he considered great importanc to which he begged their attention, because it was nc only of interest to them, but to ths State and th? natio at large. He said from all he could learn that there ws ground tor apprehension that a deterioration in qualitj us well as a diminution of quantity was observable in th wheat crop in this State ; and that the evil was a grnwin one, not the less for its not being recognized or knowr It pr.ivo 1 that the soil was deteriorated. He would us ail illustration lVI??n ? 1 "* 1 " ? ??-? ?- loin iuj dick 10 me earl periods of agriculture in thia country, and when th aoil might be said to be in a virgin state, they foun that prndwee of an tcar vtvn hi. wheal, ?> ?<? too high an average, but m least Ihey all cor , euricd in saying that it was great beyond what It i now in the same places. Much benefit might be derive fiom a systematic enquiry,and he would thiuk itadvisabl to open a correspondence with local societies, end ohtui information from them as to their mode ot culture, to pr< cure camples of the wheat, also of the soil; and such oth? particulars as might furnish correct data for suggesting remedy. He wished jt to be understood that his remark were intended more to promote enquiry, than assertions c what was known to be true ; he would, however, ventur to say that the average production of the river counties c this State would not he more than ten or twelv bushels per acre, and they had reason to fear tha the average crop ot the whole Stats would not be mor than fifteen bushels an acre. Agricultural chemistr; demonstrates that what is taken of!'from the strength ani vigour of the soil in tho production of its crop will b< about one^wentieth of its aggregate fertility. ItnAove that if they were unjust to the soil, and return nothing o that abstracted, they could not expect it to be for everge nerous ; and in this they ha l n solution of why the croj was not equal now to what It was twenty years ago. I was well known to the Virginia planters what the reaul of this system was A diminution of one-seventh wai observable in the wheat crop there, and the populatioi lelt it so much that they wete emigrating to the newe: soil* of the west from their worn out fields; and the sami truth warns us that we are following in the footsteps o the old States, and that if we do not alter our plan, oui inhabitants will be obliged in time to emigrate too. Ii the face of this truth, that one-twentioth of tho fcrtilitj of the soil is annually taken from it by cropping, whe would say that manure was not requisite, they were unjus to themselves and the soil both, if they did notenquiri how far they might restore to it its richness, and he foi the interest of agriculturers and farmers to manure th? soil. Kvery city, town and manufactory were great re crpticle* for what might enrich the soil, and teemed wit! what might ha made a profitable source for the farmer.? The Soda works, tijs works, ashes, salts, and every filtl and ofl'il. if .judiciously used, would superabundantly supply all the loss of the soil; and I hope,'gentlemen, wil not Hcctisedtne of talking politics, if 1 allude to dirt pile< in the street, for no eartlily object but the generation o Opthaimia and other diseases, instead of being sent to th< country, where it would be of use, and on its way givi employment to the people who want it He was inform ed thnt the owner of a Potash manufactory, near the hem of I.ake Champlain, caused tho remains to bu thrown int< the bake, whilst not one of our agriculturists eontlirinni Nought to benefit by the productive qualities it contained lie wli much pleauid the benefit derived from the discus nion on Horticulture, and be was certain that the estah lishment ol" a regular correspondence with branch aocie tics would do much good, and impart lessons of wisdom lie made the remark without any allusion to details, t( draw from others their information. Dr. Sxrvissott wn? called on to make a few remarks lie said that the fact, however strange, was not entirrlj new to him. A few days ago. when at Albany, he was in formed by a gentleman that the rich western lands almu Cayuga, which formerly pro lured thirty bushels, did no now produce more than twenty per acre The system ii this State wss the same as that of Virginia, when the peo pie were reduced to poverty, which must lie the case here This waa n matter of great importance. There were twi mode* of living?one was on the interest of capital?thi other on prodnctire industry, aad farmers should alteni to this ; they should asceitain whether their capital wai not infringed on by n system ofagricnllure which injiirac their land. The system in Knglaud keeps the land vith out deterioration atid was perfectly attainable here Tin people here have the choice of emigrating or doing this There is no other alternative. It was for them to make en quiry and suggest areme?!y. du great cities like this, mer, of science abound, and coma into collision the one with the other, and thus maka discoveries they could not mak? alone. Scientific or practical men cannot of themselvai rr.nHe discoveries ; it requires tin m to work together.? It" therefore thought that a coricspondence with the dif ferenl counties would enable them to ascertain the pro UUCtiv ene.s of the soil now ami at former periods, anil se >eral other things of imjiortance to know. Dr. UiRiutkn said, however alarming the grcnt diminu tion from thirty to twelve husiiels per acre was,thers w h still an evil not mentioned which was concomitant with the present system By the deterioration ol lands stimulus was given to occupy (rosli and more productivi soil, and thereby ? competition created which waa rtiinoui to the occupiers of the firmer. Kvery year the K.rie Ca ?U l.iought down nn enormous quantity of wheat to this market from new lands, and pulled down the price.

Q?Did you not 1 ! consent that you and your wife should go to the Doctor's? A?No, sir, I did not. U?Why did you go in'o his scr- \ 1 vice?

Q? 1 When did you begin to pray i'or her I A?When I saw ' ber in danger. Q?How long did you pray for her before ' ' you saw anything dangerous ? A?I prayed for her from 1 ; the first time i thought her conduct improper. The witness was cross examined at great length by Mr. ' Whitiku, and finished by stating that he believed his wife 1 to be as good a woman as ever lived; and did not care if she slept five months with the Doctor, if she would only come bacu and Jive with him and their child. There were three or four other witnesses examined, but their testimony only went to corroborate the testimony of 1 the previous witnesses, except that two of them swore that Mrs. Osborne slept at the Doctor's after her husband bad taken hoard at Mis. Dawson's. After which the plaintifl rested. Mr. Sroo-xp.ii opened the defence in a long speech tluv purport of which was that the suit was instituted, not exactly to divorce the plaintiff anil his wife, but to get a di . vorce between him and ber fortune, and to accomplish this object au innocent and a virtuous woman was to be sacrificed. After Mr. SmoNMi had concluded, the court adjourned to Tuesday morning. 1'rs.sn.vr, IGth yiprff"?''florAs'iV 'farter.?This case, ! reported in yesterday's Herald, was resumed, when council addressed the jury on part of the plaintiff. It was an action to recover the price of 8 casks of varnish, on sale effected by truck. The case turned on a point of fact, as to the quality of the article sold. It was shown for plaintifT that the sample produced at the time of effecting tlic sale was of u different quality from that furnished. The defence relied on was, that the article, bona fide, was delivered according to contract, am] that the article of varnish varied in price according to quality. The jury 1 will render a sealed verdict Wednesday (this) morning. Before Chiet Justice Jones. CantUi ri.

The amendment * wae, to submit the sale ol the public works to the 0 people at the next annual election, and it was moved by Col. Koumlort, the chairman ol the * committee of ways and means, lor the very pur- u pose ot securing the passage ot the tax bill, which t, is connected with the bill lor the sale of the public works. Instead of weakening this bill, as the p brokers ail(l speculators have reuresi-nleil f?rtli?ir li own porsoiiul advantage, it strengthens it iimiieanumbly, as nil the voles that have Deen had u[>on " it since has demonstrated. There is a clear ma- {J jority of front twelve to fifteen in favor of the hilt; p and there is not the least doubt of its passage, notwithstanding the panic which has been attempted h to be got up by the brokers. The public works of a Pennsylvania will be sold, and a lax of three mills 1 on the dollar will he levied, and this will place our good old commonwealth on the high ground that she once occupied.

The Chamber n, a cut into committee, ou the :24th ultimo, to take into con liberation the massage, it appears that this disgusting Lseu.e, made its iirsl np;ieaiunco in the year 1824, una j, but, since then, seven persons have died of it, after having languished lrom three lo six yeais.in the most deplorable 'J slate One of these iitrsons, who hail retm d to u woods n :ubin, through a hole in which he wus fed, died, it was thought, in a state of mental insanity, ltiit every one win (l apprehensive of the contagion, which, in some cuses, it ^ ww believed, had been curried by the overseer of the poor, whose duty it was to provide these poor Wretches o| with tho Joo/t necessary to sustain existence, and for which thuv retained their natnriil nnruatitnil It is alleged thut mich is the contagious nuti re ol this ma- |jJ lady,that persons have been infected by reposing in the ? ante beds with those who had it, und tiiut a young man |8 who had assisted ut the luntral ol one who had died ot it, , sad on whose clothing some of the mutter htul dropped, contracted the disease und died ot it. Also, that in the county of Gloucester, there have been ulxrut twelve persons attacked by this disease, and nearly the same num- o ber on the other side of the boundary between that county hi and Northumberland. It is believed that there are other ai cases which aro concealed, because the moment it is if known that any one is sci/.ed w ith that disease, he is uni- cl versally shunned and banished society. Among the cases in enumerated, is that of a female who was thipwn-cked hi at Caraquet, on her road to Quebec, und returned to Chat- s< ham, wnero the disease developed itself in her person, and tl communicated to two inmateB of the tamily in which she c. resided, and to a child which visited the house, of whom tl the wholu throe died. It appears that the uulady is incuruble, and invariably terminates in death. The leading of the documents which accompanied the message, ex \ cited the warm sympathy of the Chamber for the (inform- t) late aull'eicrs. firs. Thomson und Kurle, expressed their (l opinions thut the disease was not leprosy.
