Turnip Culture Were American Farmers full' apprised of the value of the turnip crop in Europe, st is quite certain they would make greater exertions to give it a tnore general introduc tion into this country. Turnips - make iIir beef, milk, butter and cheese of England. 'The new pystem ofhusbaniliy" is based upon l lu- introduction fthe turnip culture, liriusii farmers have also learned that feed ing sheep upon the turnips in :he field, is a capital plan to improve the soil. Bui as the season is now at hand for sowing, a few practical hints will not be a miss. 1. The soil must be rich, loose and free from noxious weeds. Fresh land is the best, out cultivatedlfif Ids will answer if ihev nave the strength of soil. Tbe very best spot of ground for turnips is an old cow yard. If ihe land is not rich it must be tcade so. 2. The preparation oj soil .s an impor tant i:cm. Deep ploughing is indispensa. ble, as well as frequent ploughing before sou ing. It i a good system to bieak the land very early in the spring, and continue to plough it every two or three weeks nil June or; July. Bv .this means it will be freed from weeds, and rendered strong and mellow. 3. The time vf setting is a mal'er of cousiJersbic consequence. Some aged farmers say, "sow the 6th of Atgust; while others tell us o sow the 2oth oj" Ju ly, wet or dry ; but there is no doubt the date should depend very much upon con tingencies. It is a safe- plan to sow every two weeks or oftener, from the filsl of June to the last of August- I once heard a sue cessful old farmer say, "plant all kind of crops, and try all seasons, and you will be sure to hit the right crop and season." There is truth in it. About the last of July or first of August is generally the best time. 4. Mode of soicing. If the land is fresh, the sowing may be performed broad cast ; but care should be taken, that ihe plants should not grow loo close together. This, however, is the lazy mode of cultiva tion, end should not be recommended, un less the land and preparations are every tiling they should be, and the farmer ot gardener cannot have the requisite labor performed. The best plan is to throw mn lurrcws togetner uy me use of a light plough, and let the rows be two feei apari -then onen the ridges with a hoe smv the seeds and rake them in., 5. After Culture. In this department there are three very essential matters. 1st. Keep the land free from weeds and grass. 2d. Stir the soil frequently. 3d. Thin the plants 'to such a distance as will prevent the interference with each other growth' -" Q. Harvesting. 'Vhis need not he done before Noveii ber. Pull up the roots care. '.fully, haul them together, cut off the tops and tapioots;'raise il-e ground ?ix inches, and put them in! piles : of "fuun 10 w 20 bushels," roter-with earth ten inches, thick, ar.d all ill be safe lill spni.w.. -Ttiere.sre different mrdeV equally successful. - 4The lop may be profiiabiy , fed io catde and sheep.

A suosMniial testimonial probably not less than 8500,000 is to be raided by subscription and invested in a prinei-ly estate for him. Peel paid Inn a great compliment in his speech, resigning office, as the real author of the recent chan ges in the commercial policy of the countrv. Mr. Bright, his colleague in the Corn Law agitation, is to have a responsible place in the Government.and Mr. Wilson.Chairmati of the League, an appointment. Ilaydon, the Historical Painter, has com mitted suicide, in consequence of pecuniary embarrassments. Ho had previously writ ten to several eminent men for assistance, but received little.

He had long known him, and he had had reason to res pect him in an official capacity some fifteen or sixteen jeara ago. fle-waa certain that by every means in his (the American Minister's) power, he had contributed . to the present result.

Since ihe sailing of the "Medwav," tc 'counts have been received from Bombay to thoSOih of May, ihich contain nn news of striking interest. The principal point of intell iger.ee relates to the proceedings of the Lahore government, which, on the oc eaion of a 'slight dislurb mce, gavrtrong proola of its resolution to put down all at tempts at revolt. A Brittslr sentinel, in endeavoring to prevent a drove -of cattle from entering a street crowded with bag gage, wounded a cow in the nose. The cow being a sacred animal 'in the eyes of the Sikhs, a disturbance was caused; the shops and h uses eft ho t ighboring streets were closed, and :he superstitious zealots, getting on the tops oftho house?, threw stones and thcr missiles on the Bnt'ish offi cers and soldiers who sought to appease the tumult.. The Lahore authorities soon brought about tranquility, apologised to the Bri'ish residents and lo the officers, seized some of the ringleaders, and hanged one or two Brahmins on Ihe following day .

Wo denve oujqirfftMrnbe army in-a, great measure from the- Matamoros RcviU et the 8lh inst. The 7th Regiment . 'oT- In fantry left en tho.Gth' tor Camargo. Three companies by the way of the river, on the steamer B g Hatchie, the others taking up the line ot much by the way of Reynosn, bffih detachments were expected to arrive about the same time. Besides the Aid and the Big Hatchie the Troy, Cap!.- Wright, hnd.urrived a1 Mala moros, and the papers expected a general move before long. Verbal accounts repre sent that there are ten boats at Matamoros, and that the army is moving as fast d it is possible to despatch the troops up the ri ve r. The general health of tne army is repre sented as good a few cases of dysentery and camp fever alone occurring. The Louisiana Volunteers t celebrated ihe 4th of July with great spirit. Maj. Og den pronounced an address; Gon. Taylor levif-wed the Louisiana BrigiiuV : Captain Head's cpmpany gave a splendid dinner. Gen. Desha, Gens. Lamar and Burlesson, Col. Kinney, and others, were guests. Gen Taylor dropped in on the boys" thirty of them printers drank wine with them and passed on to others. Th fete was a truly patriotic one. We are truly sorr to have to record the following cusualty which occurred on the 4th. We copy the circumstances from the Reveille : As the steamer Aid was passing over the rope suspended across the river for the use of the ferry boats, the rebound of the rope on being cleared from the kneel of the boat was so great as to break off the large post to which it was atached on the east bank of the river, nnd whizh in 'its fill struck down Lieu Scully, of Cap . Kpene's company, of the Jackson Regimeu of Louisiana Yo'untcers, and Corporal J. J. Mervin, of Graham's company; East Ra-. pides Volunteers, of the s-me Regimpnt. who were on duty at the ferry. L'eut. Soui ly, although severely bruised on the felt arm aid abdomen, is doing well; but Cor poral Mervin fell tQ rise no more, being kil led instantly. . Mr. Mervin was a native of Dublin, a man cf education, and was teaching in Ra. pides and studying the law, when the war bioke out. He was buried with the honor of war in the Cathoic .bural ground of Matamoros. Further from the army. The .mail received by the New-Yock having been distributed, we are placed in 1 possession of our correspondence Jrom the army, a portion of which will be found be low. Everything indicates that Gen. Tay. lor will soon make, if he has net already made, a general movement towards Cam argo, and thence upon Monterey. Wo make the follow eg cxrract from a letter from Mr. Kendal!, dated July 5:h: McCullogh's Rangers are off imedinely after breakfast this is early in the day you must understand on another trip up the country, and 1 am hup rying myself to accompany them.- Tho steamer Aid is not yet, but is to leave im mediately, so I learn, with the detachment of the 4th LT. S Infantry destined for Cam argo. You shali . hear trom me from tho first point whence I can" send a letter in that direction. Of the Volunteers, the Andrew Jackson Regiment, Col. Marks, and Washington Regiment, Col. Walton, were the first to be sent forward towards Camargo,but tho papers of ihe 8th jnst.do not represent that tfiey had actually moved Gen He nderson, of Texas, ws recover, ing from a severe attack of illness, from which he had suff red. Col. L'vvts P. Cook had also been very ill, and it .was at onetimo reported that he was dead. He wi convalescent at last accouutsr. The "American Flag" -another namo for the "Republic, of Rio Grande" newspaper says that Gen.. Taj lor announced to the two regiments above named, on", the 4ia, that in a lew day s he wouid have boats to" transport them to Camargo, whence Vhe would put them directly in motion for Mon terey; and tfiat if he failed toaccomodato them with a fight with 'the Mexicans be fore the summer had passed "away, it ;': would not be his fauh.,, i, One lung', hud . and enthusiastic burst of applause testified ihe joy of the volunteers. V'. - " & "... - The following is from Ihe- American'.' Flag.;': " , ; We understand that there is a project on foot here to raise a body of men -fifty or more o go lo Chihuahua and search for an immense treasure which is said to been secreted previous to the destruction of a targe City, which was besieged by the lr diana many years ago and, all the inhabi tants M assacred with the except lorVof two. The'se two, it would secyo, made seVeral attempts to return and ge the treasure, but died before it w:is accomplished. The nines in neighborhood of where the trea sure was buried, are said to have been tho iicbest in the world snd huve never beeq workod since that lime From Chihuahua, via Mvnterey and Saltillo.We conversed last evening with a gentleman direct lrom Chihuahua, Mr.i Degrey, who says that he left that place a bout twenty seven day ago, in consequeixe' of he Mexican Custom House or river guard having se.zed tho goods which he was tiikiog fromSan Antonio to Chihuahua. He states that-he was3 arrested several tunes on the roulc but managed to obtain his release. Tho first intelligence he re-, ceived of the battles cf the 8n and 9 of May, was at Montclova, owiug-to the desert county through which he passed. At" Montclova he found the most perfect apathy' prevailing in regard to the war. Six hun dred men had volunteered at thai place for the Rio Grande, but he was informed that they mutinied and left to the number' of five hundred immediately after being ad vised of she results of the battles The same spirit seemed to prevail throughout the whole country over which he travelled lie. heard no opinion expressed favora bie to joining the arpay & carry ing on tho war. . Arista says he has had enough of the Mexican army, and intends remaining at his rancho. The remnants of the army ,3, or 400 strong, are at Liuares, in a roisfra-abie-condiiion. Canales was a few miles above Reyne.sa with 125 men. A passport was given to Mr. De Grey by Carrabajnl, under which he received oo molestation. Matamokas, Mexico, Juty 3, 1846. Independent of' the uews published in the Matamoros Revtlle of ibis morning, we have any quantity of. rumors from the in u rior of Mexico. A major uy of them are. probably entirely destitute of foundation, yet it may not be aniss to give them a place m print. One account has it that lierr jra is again at the head of the Govern- e
