An olaborato and instructing article upon the approaching comet, has appeared in the Edinburgh Roview, from which it would seem that two comets are expected to puss the earth's orbit the progant year, which bear the names of the astronomers who first calou- Intad the: poriod of their return. _ The first is called Encke's comet, whose poriod round the gun dis 1200 days, It appeared in 1825, 18- 20 and 1882, and its roturn is expoctod «bout thig timo. - It is considered by our author as a Wm“ revolving in our system betweon the orbits of Jupiter and Meveury, 'The other is tormed Ealley's comet, Its revolution is computed at 75 years. It ap- poared in 1631, 1607, 1082, and 1758. It is oxposted to be visible in Europe in the lat- tor partof August or beginuing of September; «that (s,\ to quote the writer. \rather more than two months before its arrival at that oint whore it will bo nenrest the sun. Its situation also will be favorable to the splen- dor of itsappoarance, It will most probable bo distinguished by the naked ays, like a star of the first magnitude, but with a duller light than that of a planot, and surrounded with a pale nabolosity, which will slightly its W aplandow. On tho nightof the third of Octo- hor, about midnight, it will appear in the cast, at an olovation of about thirty degrees; and will be n little above a ling joining the bright sin, called Castor, with the star called a in the Croat Bear Botwoon that hour and ~ sunrtso, it will ascond the firmament, and will cross the meridian near the zenith of London ubout sunrise. On tho night of tho 7th, the comet wilt approach the wall known. constel- lation of Ursa Major; and betwen that and this it sall pass through the seven con- [ spicuous stars of that cqnttellution. In our latitude, this constellation [known by the common names of the pointers, waggon wheels, &c.] never sets, and consequently the comet may be looked for at any hour of the night. But the time most favorable for its appearance will be on the 7th, before th» morning twilight; on the Oth, at any time in. the absencé of twilight, when it will pass du- ring the night from the north-west to the north-cast, its altitude not, however, exceed- ing thirty-five degrees; and on the 11th, af- ter the close of the evening twilight, when it will be seen approaching the constellation of the Crown, in a direction a little north of west, and at an altitude of about thirty de- green. \Towards the end of November the comet will plunge among the rays of the sun, and disappear, and will not issue from them on the other side until the end of December.- On its departure from the sun, it is doubtful whether it will be visible at all; but, under any circumstances, it cannot remain long appa- rout.\ Tho orbit of Halley's comet is a very ol- long oval, the nearest point of which to the sun is about half the curth's distance, or fifty millions of miles, and its extreme remote point $85,000,000 of miles. At its nearest oint to the sun, the heat and light of that uminary will be four times the heat and light at the earth, and at the greatest distance they will bo about twelve hundred times less. If the envth were transported to the more re- mote extremity of the comet's orbit, every li- uid substance would become Solid by congé- lation: and it is extremely probable that at- mospheric air and other permanent gases might become liquids,. If the earth was, on [ the othor hand, transferred to the neare.t ex- tremity of the comet's orbit, all the liquids upon it would be converted into vapor, would formy permanent gases, and would cither by their mixture constitute atmospheric air, or would arrange themselves in a strata, one a~ bove the other, according to their specific gravities, All the loss refractory solids would be fused; and would form in the cavi- ties of the nucleus oceans of liquid metal- Such are the conjectures of philosophers. Comets, in former times, were supposed to portend direful evils, as earthquokes, pesti- ence, war, famine, &c. Science has dis- pelled such fears, and it has been demonstra- ted from the past, that comets have not hith- erto produced any sensible influence on the earth. They aro supposed to be mostly mass- es of vapor, totally divested of all concrete or solid matter: both Sir William and Sir John Herschell, as well as other astronomers, having, on account of their translucency, dis- covered stars and constellations through their heads or centres.

AK AL. Frém the Cultivator, ON SEEDING. Of all the practices constituting good hus- bandry, none are more replete with benefi- cial effects, and which better repay the outlay than that of seeding. It has become an es- tablished practice with good farmers, to seed tice that should be adopted by all. It is high time that the practices and opinions of our ancestors-those which derogate from our best interests I mean-should give place to more modern and more rational views. That thore has been a great advancement in the science of agriculture will be conceded to by all; then why do we cling so strenuously to ancient practices when those of more modern dato aro infinitely superior. I rejoice in the improvement that has al- ready been made. Agriculture has become the theme of the day. The most enlighten- ed of our citizens are embarking in its pur- suits, which give assurance of its being ulti- mately established upon a basis concomitant with its morits. Then it behooves us-to fol- low those practices. most clearly demonstra- ted to be beneficial-and believing seeding to be lone of these, I proceed briefly to detail its utility. The practice of seeding is too much neg- lected by many of our farmers, a practice, which, could they be induced to adopt, I am confident in believing would not be relin- quished. The natural grasses yield less of quantity and nutriment than either clover or timothy and some others of more recent in- troduction. Double the quantity of pasture may be obtained from a given piece of ground well seeded, than it would otherwise afford; and for mowing there will be a still greater differonce. Independent of this, its fertilizing proper- ties to the soil must be considered. A good sod preserves the soil from the too great in- fluence of the sun, renders it porous, and consequently pervious to atmospheric nour- ishmont; hence we observe that meadows newly laid down almost invariably bear the | greatost burden, Whereas grounds not seeded, by being too much exposed, soon become of so compact & nature as to render them in a degree im- peryious to either heat or moisture, without which they cannot be capable of the least productivencss. Autumn we consider the most proper time for sowing timothy; and the spring for clover, e have generally made it a practice to sow our timothy immediately after the last har- rowing in of the wheat, having a person to follow each harrow; which leaves not a pare ticle of ground without seed, and never have porceived the wheat to have been injured in consequence, The timo for sowing clover must depend altogothor on the season whethor early or backward,. We have oftener sown too ear- ly than too late, and I am inclined to believe that others have fallen into the same error. - frequently with clover and timothy, a prac- | i _ In myroginion, it should not be sown until | P. the ground begins to dry and becomes set- thid, when it will be observed there are innu- merable small crevices produced by the con- traction of the earth, which will receive the seeds, and which the first rains will close, thereby producing immediate vegetation.

The object of ridging, in tillage husband ry, is cither 1st, to render the soil more fria- ble, by exposing a greater surface to the sun; or 2, to render it more dry, by increasing the facilities for the surface waters to pass free- ly of. The climates where ridging is most practised, arc, those which are cold and hu- mid; the soils which are most benefitted are stiff clays, or those of a more porous quality, which repose upon a tenacious subsoil, and have a level, or but a gently inclined surface. Where the slope is sufficient to carry off the surplus water, or the subsoil porous enough, to give it a free passage below the roots of plants, ridging, in our climate, is rather pre- judicial than otherwise; because it causes a waste of land, by multiplying water-furrows, and augments the injuries of a dry season. Ridging and un Jer draining are designed for the same ond, viz., to free the roots of culti- vated plants from the habitual presence of water, always prejudicial to their health and product. In former times the first of these modes was generally resorted to; but in the improved system of husbandry under-drain- ing has obtained a decided preference. In some of the tenacious soils of Gloucester- shire, England, where. the surface is level, Marshal tells us, that ridges have existed, time out of mind, so high, that two men standing in adjoining water-furrows are una- ble to see each other across the intervening ridge. In Scotland, on the other hand, at the present day, parallel under-drains are often made, at the distance of 20 or 80 feet, in large tracts of moist or stiff lands, posses- sing a level surface, and ample remunera- tion is found for the outlay in the improve- ment which ensues. These drains are now principally made with draining tiles, which are laid about two feet from the surface, and in parallel lines of twenty feet are found to preserve in high tillable order the most cold and tenacious soils. We are having some tiles made for our use, and shall, at a proper opportunity apprize our readers of the ex- pense and advantages of this mode of under draining. \Stagnant water,\ says Loudon, \may be considered to' be injurious to all the useful classes of plants, by obstructing perspiration and intro-susception, and thus diseasing their roots and submerged parts. face soil is properly constituted, and rests on a subsoil moderately porous, both will hold water by capillary attraction, and what is not so retained will sink into the interior strata by its gravity; but where the subsoil is re- tentive it will resist, or not admit with suffi- cient rapidity the percolation of water to the strata below, which, accumulating in the sur- face soil, till its proportion becomes excessive as a,component part, not only carries off the attractive matter [the food of plants] but dis- cases the plants. Hence the origin of sur- face draining, that is, laying lands in. ridges or beds, or intersecting it with small open gutters.\ It will be perceived from the preceding view of the subject, that the propriety or im- propriety of ridging will depend upon a vari- ety of circumstances which are liable to vary in every district, and upon almost every farm. No general yule will apply. A practice that might be beneficial in a flat humid district of New York, migh be prejudicial in an undula- ting warm district in Pennsylvania or Vir- ginia. Yet as there are a great many farms that are essentially benefitted by the prac- tice, we will suggest some considerations that may be beneficial, at least to the novice in husbandry. 1. Ridges should be laid withithe slope of the field, that the waters may pass of freely; and if hollows or hills intervene, cross drains should be cut, after the field is ridged, from the low places, to carry off the water, in the direction to which the surface inclines. 2. The breadth of the ridge must depend upon circumstances, and may vary from two to thirty feet. 'The flatter the surface, and the more tenacious the soil, the narrower should the ridges be laid. 'The manner of forming them of different breadths, and of different inclination of surface, will be found amply described and illustrated in the fifth No. of our present volume. It is well to rc- mark, to those who admire and imitate Brit- ish husbandry, that ridging is not so essen- tial here as in Great Britain-from the cir- cumstance of our climate being warmer and less humid. It is a common practice in Britain to drill turnips, particularly Swedes, upon ridges. Here we think they do best drilled upon a level surface, pre-supposing, however, that they are to be grown upon soils adapted to their culture, which are light and porous. * 8. Head lands are indispensable to good work where a field is to be laid in ridges, and trenches should be made through these, at least upon the lower border of the field, to carry off the water from the middle furrows. Circuit Court and Court of Oyer and Ter- miner.-This court opened on Monday the 14th inst. the Hon. James Vanderpoel presi- ding. - The civil calendar presented an array of thirty causes, among which were a num- ber of much interest and importance. - 'The nature of the causes and the crowd of suitors thronged the court-house, gave token of a long session. - But the Judge fell upon the calender with his usual driving business hab- its, and by Tuesday noon he had disposed of all the causes except two or three of the most important ones. 'These not being ready at the word, the jury were discharged-the Court adjourned-and before the astounded lawyers had time to gather up the seattered rolls of parchment and fold up their briefs, the Judge was off for Albany, leaving the crowd gazing after him as though he had been a passing phantom. - In future we advise parties to be ready, for they may be assured Time and Judge Vanderpoel wait for no man.-Caits- kill Recorder.

To the former they can only re- iterate the assurance so often conveyed, that as the Mirnon has now succeeded in preserving their good will through the arduous period of its infancy and its youth, so in maturity it will endeavor still to de- serve the applause: which its earliest efforts receiv- ed. ,, Toithe latter they would observe that no ex- pense will be spared and no exertions relaxed to render it at least as attractive and popular as any of its contemporaries. The experience of past years will give confidence to those who have watched our career; while the volume that will.soon close will be an earnest of that which is to come, to our more recent friends, so that the reputation already secured to our publication may be maintained and enhanced. To both we beg leave to declare, that in the OR- NAMENTAL EMBELLISHMENTS of the Mir- ror, the best native talent has been engaged; and many painters have received commissions from us for the execution of national subjects and national scenery; and that engravers of the first merit have been secured to render these. works fitting iustra- tions of our numbers. However beautiful may have been the preceding works of art which have orna- mented our pages, and however loud and frequent has been the applause which has greeted their pub- lication, we have no slight satisfaction in being en- abled to state, that those in preparation surpass any thing of the kind eger known in the United States. In the course of the volume FOUR QUARTO STEEL EMBELLISHNENTS, designed, painted and engraved by the most eminent artists in the country, will be published, together with numer- ous wood engravings, illustrative of curious and interesting scenes, incidents and antiquities, with about fifty pieces of French, Spanish, German- Italian and British MUSIC, arranged for the piano, forte, Harp, Guitar, &c. The same taste which has presided over our MU- SICAL SELECTIONS, 'will superintend those hereafter to appear, and the principles which guide us in the department will be as they have hitherto been, novelty and excellence, the beauty of the po- etry, and the melody of the accompaniment. . On these grounds we commend our forth coming volume to the notice and approbation of.our coun trymen, - CONDITIONS. The Mirror is published every Saturday at the corner of Nassau and Ann streets. It is elegantly printed in thesuper-royal quarto form, on fine paper with brevier, minion and nonparie} type.

Impressed with a confidence in the entire soundness of the princi- ples upon which our present National and State Governments are administered; thatin theory and ~ practice, their respective executive branches are going on in the fulfilment of the primitive designe of their founders-accomplishing and securing all the blessings we may be allowed to nntigipiie from the best and ablest administrations of our public affairs-the DEMOCRAT will be found - zealously co-operating with them. - Deeming the leading measures that have continued to charac- ~. terise the administration of our venerable Chiéf . Magistrate, as tending to public good-looking back upon the benefits that have flowed from thein and forward toithe results that may reasonably be anticipated; in view of the whole manner in which the high trust reposed in him has been discharg- ed-there is no sufficient reason to hesitate, in yielding to ANDREW JACKSON, during his continuance in office, our unqualified support.-- The Républican party of the Union; in anticipz» \tion that age, and a constitution impaired by a long life of arduous public service, will forbid his consenting to become a candidate for a third term, have, through a legitimately constituted organ- the Baitimore Convention-with a unanimity and singleness of purpose almost unparalleled-nam- ed as his suecessor,the Hon. MARTIN VAN BU- REN, of this state. Approving of this selection, we shall cheerfully endeavor to contribute to his election. 'The character, 'public services, and po- litical history of the man, aside from the source from which he derives his nomination, furnish an ample guarantee, that in his administration we may anticipate a steady and firm adherence to the _ principles, and a consummation of the leading measures of his immediate predecessor. In a country like ours, blessed with a fertility of soil almost unparalleled, where Agriculture must form the basis of human industry and enter- prise-all that will- contribute to the develope= ment of its varied resources-the combined ra- sults of wise and practical experiment-new me- thods and inventions-all that will lighten the toil or add to the profits of the husbandman, are strictly within the province of a public journal- a portion of tlie -public benefit of which it may, and should be productive. Mechanités and Man- factures, next'in importance, and blended as they are, with prosperous Agriculturgihave a just claire. upon thie labors of the conductors of a public jour- nal-a claim, which in this instance, will not be disregarded. - At a period when Education; Sci. ence, and Literature are commanding\ increased: , attention, in which they form so large a portion: .of the spirit of the times, duty and inclination. will concur in prompting a ready and willing ac- quiescence, in whatever will contribute to the' advancement and usefulness. In short, it will be 'the steady aim of the gonductors of the Demo- crat, to adapt it to the varied tastes and interests: of its patrons-to make it the early medium of current news-to the reading and business public, an acquisition which will merit a liberal and per- manent patronage.
