The legislature of this state, at its session ot 182'J, parsed an act 4? to pro mote agnculture and family domestic, manufactures in ihis state:" 'u* > h? tran section of which a Board ol Agriculture was incorporated, with means to acc??tn plish certain specifv objects, among these objects, one is the annual publicu liuu ot a volume on subjects of agricul ture and rural economy; fifteen bundled copies of which aro to be printed at the expense of the state, and gratuitously distributed amon^ the (armcis of North Caioliua through the agency ot the county agricultui al sccidics. The board of agriculture, at its meet ing* last winter, appointed a committee loi ihc purpose of carrying into effect this liberal act <>{ the legislature; the du nes ot that committee are presciihed in the following extract from the 4i regu lations" ol the board: .irttel' 6. The committee of selec tion and publication shall select liou> the ?rch<v?.s of the board, and from such other soui ccs as they may think proper, t ne materials lor a volume on agticul ?u?al *?ubje?ts; * i?ich shall be published under the direction ol said committee , aci urding to the intention of the 6m sec - tion ?>f tite act of incorporation; and, when 10 published, shall be distributed, under t. lie dire< tion of the board, amoi.g the goo d people ol North-Carolina by means of the county societies. 1'he committee thus appointed and instructed, ai e desirous ot entering on tne discnarge of tne duties assigned, to them.

C We have inadc room, to day, for some highly interesting state papers of the Hutish government, the latest ol which is in c fleet a niamltsto ol the views en tertained by the British government on the question between Spain and her late South American colonies. The subject is of great importai.ee, and the ground taken by the liriiish government, how ever mildly occupied, is broad and firm. ! That government will not permit any at tempt, on the part ol Spain, to regulate a commerce over which she can have no rightful control, nor will it peimit a fo reign force to be employed by Spain to rcco qucr colonies whom she has not 1 been able to keep under bet dominion. These are the principles upon which it I has been supposed the 13 itish govern ment would act; but this is the first offi cial assertion ot them, that we have ?ecn. A distinction, howevar, is yet maintain ed by t??e ilritish government ? a dis tinction of lorm, ana not of substance, between the commercial and the politi cal independence of the southern govern ments. i'he first of these relations being recognized, the second would seem to follow of coursc- j\ut. Intel. We omitted, the other day, specially to advert to the fact, that the bill, which had passed both houses ot congress, au thorizing certain surveys and estimates, lor roads and canals, having received the signature ot the president, has become a law. This act is one by which ihe pre sent session of com'te?s will be remem bered. The amount of < xpendit ure, di rectly involved in it, is incced ? trail, not greater prohahiy, tlian the actual cost of the time en. ployed by cotujre**. in the discussion til it. The principle of it, however, is important, it being thi first distinct. and well understooo legislative i ccngnit ion of the light of ihc g<ncial government ?o ..pprop-iate umi ey to wards objects 01 internal improvement. Our ftl'.nds, the edltots ol the lCiqui icr, a lew da\s ago, very seriously in vt.keil the inttrpi sitton of the ptesiderv, to aveit the evil consequences ol this measure, For ourselve s, seeing nothing to (car but much to hope, from this tie nefi> e nt measure, wc take' the liberty to i ongtatulate our r ader? on its suc cess. If it ht constuutiotal, and wise withal, and we have no doubt it is both, to survey our coasts, our rivers, walls, U' . it cannot be very pernicious t?? the public interest, to endeavor to ap pi ox i matt t .ic points of the inter tor, now inoie widely sepai ated than ii oce .n? intervened. The Norfolk Herald contains the re port ol the medical commission which was dispatched to Thompson's Isl.ind, under the order s of commodore ltogcis, in October last, to inquire into th?- cau ses ol the unhealthiness of that place. From the report of the physicians it would seem that the causes to which are ascribed the unhealthincss of the spot are not susceptible of removal, and that every year, it nusi, as a natural consequence, be visited (in a ?r< ater or less degree, according to the weather) during the summer and fall seasons* with the malignant fever w hich last y?.ar proved so latal. Nevertheless it is con ceived that the place pos-e>st k so many advantages lor na* a I purposes, iliat it would not be a<!vis.ti:lc to abandon it entirely; though certainly it would be pi ii 'ent to krep as small a force as would hanly suffice lor the pit. to- i i oil of the public pi opet ty, during the suk ly months ? composed if prai ticaule of persons inuied to a tropical climate.
