Mr. Joseph Whitworth, an engin j ecr of Manchester, (Eng) has recently patented a number of -improvements in .... . i i machinery applicable to agricultural and sanatory purposes,which are thus describ ed: With regard to the subject of the inven tion of improvements in machinery appli cable to agricultural and sanatory purpo ses, the patentee claims: pint The arrangement with machin ery with disc, annular, or sythe cutters, for the purpose of cutting or mowing corn, grass, or other crops, as described. Secondly The arrangement and con- hlruction of mechanical parts into a ma chine for cleansing the gutters or channels in streets, by means of a circular brush, with the system of levers necessary lor carrying and actuating the same, and ad justing its position to suit the work.

Kain is cash to a farmer. The foot of the owner is the best man ure for the land. Cut bushes lhat you wish to destroy in the summer, and with a sharp instrument they will bleed freely and die. Sow clover deep it secures it against the drought. Never plough in bad weather. or. when the ground is very wet. It is best to cut grain just before it is fully or dead ripe. When the straw im mediately below the grain is so dry that on twisting it no juice is pressed out, il should be cut, for then there is no further circulation of juices to the ear Every hour that it stands uncut after this stage, is attended with loss. Accounts should be kept detailing the axpGnses and produce of each field. When an implement is no longer want ed for the season, lay it carefully aside? but let it first be well cleaned. Obtain good seed, prepare your ground well, sow early and pay very little atten tion to the moon. Do not begin farming by building an expensive house, nor erecting a spacious barn till you have something to store in it. Avoid a low and damp site for a dwell ing house. Build sufficiently distant from your barn and' stock yard to avoid acci dent by fire. Keep notesof all remarkable occurren ces onyour farm. Recording even your errors will benefit vmi.

The moment a dry piece of wood-was placed in contact with thc heated, metal, combustion took place, M. Covlet and I then dipped our hands into vessels of the liquid metal, and passed our fingers several times backwards and forwards through a stream of metal flowing from the furnace, the heat from the radiation of the fused metal being at the same time almost endurable. We va ried these experiments for upwards oftwo hour; and Madame Covlct, who assisted at these expenments. permitted her child, a girl of nine years of age, , to dip her hand in a crucible of red hot metal with impunity. We experimented on the melted iron, both with our hands quite dry, and also when moistened with water, alcohol, and ether. The same results were obtained as with melted lead, and each s( us experienced a sensation of cold when employing sulphuric acid." Jl Perishable Monument. The citi zens of the United States are contributing means to build a National Monument to Washington, which is to perpetuate his name and fame, but it, is well for Wash ington that there is something more dura ble than monumental stone to record his greatness; for, according to Professor Johnson, the stone of w hich the monu ment is to be built is the poorest building material of use in the United States. It supports a crushing force of only about 2,000 lbs. to the square inch; while good marble will sustain at least 9,000. lbs. to the same It is not improbable that the monument, if carried to the projected uiigiii, wni iau io pieces oi us own weight. In addition, almost every squarej crowd lhat assembled there at that hour inch of the marble contains sulphuret oil excce, any thing witnewed in New York iron, which readily decomposes on expo- for a generation. There could not be un sure to the atmosphere, thus staining andder from UventV to thirty thousand per- destroying the parts in contact with it.! Professor J. states that the Patent Oifice building is already so much dilapidated ! by the decay.'pf the materials used in its, construction, that it. is considered by some of the occupants as unsafe, and buttresses are now; erecting to keep it from tum bling to the earth.

The idea of the driver whipping the crowd, and then of Jenny Lind so indeli calely thrusting herself forward and acting and talking as is represented, is simply absurd. The following extracts from the Her ald are probably in the main correct, though, there are one or two fiat touches in thc serenade description for which al lowances must be macle - HER TOICE AND HER MOVEMENT?. She goes on a visit to-morrow (Mon- day) to G. G. Howland's up the North river, and after remaining a few days there, she will proceed to the country residence of Mr. Barnum. She says her voice never was better, and if Mr. Bar- num can get a place she is ready to sing in ten days, instead of waiting till Ihe.lSth. the time agreed upon. We understand Air. Barnum will engage a suitable place, if he can find it, and will hot wait for the finishing of the Hall. The Castle Garden is spoken of, and probably is the place tlestinedto.be first enchanted with. her! song on this continent. Nothing is talk-! ed of in the city in any circle, since she arrived, hut Jenny Lind. GRAND SERENADE TO JENNY LIND At midnight, the New York Musical und Society, numbering some two nun , , . dred musicians, gave a grand serenade to Mademoiselle Lind. Geo. Loder's raag .r . . i i i i iii nificent band was selected, and wus led by himself. Some twenty companies of the New York firemen escorted the band and : societv to the Trvincr House, and the sons present, and the greatest excitement and enthusiasm prevailed when the sub ject of all this honor appeared at the win- jow 1 There wis a succession of vehement cheering for several minutes. Her fce could be seen very distinctly by the pto ple, from the bright lights immediately in front of the hall door. When the firemen succeeded in clearing a space for the band under the window at which she appeared, thc band struck upHail Columbia' fol lowed by "Yankee Doodle;'' and when she w is told they were the national airs of America she exclaimed, "How beauti ful how splendid!" and alternately laugh ed and wept. She waved her handker chief earnestly, and requested Mr. Bar num to call for an encore a request that was followed by tremendous cheering. The band then played "Hail Columbia" and "Yankie Doodle" again, when she expressed her admiration as rapturously a? before, and intimated that she would sing thc former during her slay in New York. She clapped her hands with the greatest enthusiasm. After playing several pieces, the band concluded with "God save the Queen " She then took her leave of the serenadcrs by waving her handkerchief rapidly for several minutes amidst the most raptur- ! ous applause we ever witnessed. She Mvas nuite nlainlv dressed and threw a . i .i i i crimson snawi over ner neau. RESPONSE BY JENNY LIND.

The New. York Tribune, of Monday afternoon S3ys: Mdle. Lind and her suite are still at the Irving House, and no lime has yet been fixed for her trip up the Hudson, She has produred the most agreeable in pression upon all around her, and this ia the more gratifying, inasmuch as it is not the customary adulation which is paid to ' 'personal regard.

The tables of rosewood, marble and papier mache richly inlaid with pearl. One of Boardman & Gray 'a Dolce Campana pianos is also in the a partmcnt. Her chamber is no less gor geously furnished, the beadstead being covered with a canopy of the finest lace, and the coverlid of the most splendid pur ple satin, beautifully embroidered, and with a lace border Mdle. Lind was sur prised at the richness and elegance, and seemed very curious to know whether every article had actually been manujac tured in this country'. The following is the prize song, writ ten by Bayard Taylor; which was sung amidst the greatest applause, and for which he received $200. It ia entitled "GREETING TO AMERICA. 99 I greet with a full heart,, the land of thO West, Whose banner of stars o'er a world U unrolled; Whose empire o'ershadows Atlantic' wide breast, And opensb the sunset its gateway of gold! The land of the mountain the land of the lake, And rivers that roll in magnificent tide. Where the souls of the mighty frota slumber awake, And hallow the soil for whose freedom they died!
