Upon the advantages of cultivating po- tatoea in eomnarifon with that of wheat, we make the following extract from an article written bv Dr. Ives. ** In a good feafon an acre of fin*table land, well cultivated, will produce 400 huflick of potatoes.—In Wood bridge, a town adjoi»"ng New Haven, a crop of 600 bufhcls of potatoes has been obtained from 4 fmgle acn. A bulhel of potatoes weighs 56 lbs. Multiply 400, the num- Ucr of btilfiels* by 56, the weight of a Angle btifhel, gives 22,40c, the number of pound* of potatoes produced upon one acre. Thirty bumelt of wheat arc confidcred a good crop as the produce of one acr^ of land. About five fixths of wheat may be confhlercd as nutritious matter. Sir Humphrey Davy obferves, that one- fourth of th- weight of potatoes, at leaft, may be confide cd as nutritions matter. One-fourth of 22.400. the product of an acre of ground, cultivated with potatoes, is 5.<5jo. The whole weight of a crop of wheat calculated at 50 bulhels to the acre, and at 60 pounds to the bulhel, gives 1800. Deducting one-fix th from the wheat as matter not nutritious, and the weight is reduced to icoo. The nutritious matter of the crop of potatoes to that of wheat, is as 5,600 to i,eoo, •«ra^ 56 to 15. The ftarch might be obtained by a very tlmplc machine, recommended by Pa'- mcntiiT ; a"d, in neafons when potatoes arc abundant, the potatoes might be conver. ted to ftarch, and the llarch prefcrved for any length of time, and uled as a fub- Ititutc for wkcatenflotu- I'hc *• ?chine alluded to is a cylinder of wood about llnee feet long and lis inche> 111 diimieler, covered with fllect tin. pun- thed nutWOru, lo as to form a coarle grater, and turned by a ci nk. This tylindci 'n placed in a box of boards wllofe fides fl »pe a little inwards upon the principle of a hopper, and a tub OS watei is placed beneath The potatoeM are Uwowii mto thi. box, and as the crank i« turned they arc crufhed. and the ftarch or fctnla lublults to the bottom of the water.

Kingflont Feb. \Jlt i8iy, 6 Peam Bfartiicovir% Edinburgh Magazine. Remark* on the Periodical Criti¬ cism of England—continued. Mr. Gilford it a mighty bigot, both in religion and politics. I fear that this is almoft neccflary in one who is brought up in the mid'l of a country fo rent and tor¬ tured by the fpirit of feet a» England. We Germans have no idea of the extreme to which thefe freemen cairy their animo. fitics. They a»e, alier all, agreed upon molt matters of any fc-rjous moment, fo lliat 1 he whole of their contentions turn on ihipgv which we fhou'd confider z* quite unworthy of much attenrion. The Quar¬ terly Iteview is a work of high talent, ?nd the political opinions • f itn conductor- arc, 1 think, in peneral fuch as y< u and I ap¬ prove. I'nt every thing is Itrained 10 a point of big"try. which ha* a mighty ten¬ dency *■ to make the better appear the worfer reafon." They drferve well of their country, and of Europe, for the tone of decided oppofition which they always maintained towards the ambitious fth'mea of the common enemy of Chiiftendom. But furely the effcet of their truly Er-g- lifh fpecnlations in regard to him and his project0, would not have been at ail les¬ sened, had they learned to treat his per¬ sonal character with a iltle more candour. Napoleon was a wicked and unprincipled monarch ; but who is fo Mind as m-t to fee that mere wickednefs, and extraordi¬ nary luck, could never poflthly have ele¬ vated the fon of an ohfeure gentleman of Ajaccio to the elevation which this prince of adventurers attained in the centre ol ci¬ vilized Europe ? Nations yet to come will look back to li'shiltory. as to f-me grand and fupern-'tural romance. The fiery en¬ ergy of hi'» youthful career, and the magni¬ ficent pmgrcf»of his irrefiltible ambition, have inverted his character with the rryfte- u'ous grandeur ot fomc heavenly appari¬ tion ; and when all the lefler tumults, and lefier men of our age. shall hate paiTed a- way into the darknef* of oblivion, hii'ory will ftill inferibe one mighty =ra with the majeftic name of Napoleon. It is very likely thai fome of the e'ever and farcaftic wits of Athens thought and fpoke of Al¬ exander as a madman ar.d a fool. So prr- hnpt might the ImlftjrH: 61 Ine Romad porticos think and fpeakol Ju'iui in Gaul. But the world ha» grown wifer fince thofe day:, and it is an infult up »n common un- derflanding to tell London in the nine¬ teenth century, that Bonaparte is an ordi—' nary man. Now, ahove all thi"gs. that the danger is gone by. is it not extremely offenfive to hear Eiig'ifhmcn railing againft a fallen enemy, infidiing one who fcem» to have been raifed up by the finger of I rovi- dence, to (land for ever in the frontispiece of fame, as the fymhol of fallen ambition and ill-directed genius ? We have fnffered more from Napoleon than ever Englifhmen did ; we have fecn our plains fattened with the blood of our heroes; we have fcen cur menarchs infulted, and our fancluaries outraged ; but fca'cely, even in the very moment of our mod hoftile fury, did we ever fpeak of our enemy in fuch tcrm9 of exaggerated and infulting rancour, as this kjrave Journal perpelually pours forth up¬ on the captive of St. Helena. There is fomething dignified and faered in human genius, even although it be misapplied. Ihc reverence which we feel for it is an inffinct of nature, and cannot be laid afide without a fin. He who is infenfible to its irfluence, has committed factilege againft his own fpirit, and degraded himfelf from the height of his original elevaiion. It is clear, that they who think Napoleon a •nan of a fecondary clafs, do not belong to the rirft order thrmfelves. The optics of a Lilliputian cannot take in the dimen- fions of a gwnt. I may venture, before I difmifs Mr. Giflbid. to n.itice juft one other of his bi¬ gotries,—it is one which to German eaie rnuit, I think, aupear itill more extraordi¬ nary. Hi* prejudice againft Napoleon is founded in juflice, and we can pardon his transferring fome portion of a legitimate avcrfion riom the ambitious fchemc* to the pcrfonal character of the conqueror. But no apology can be offered for the indifcri- minaiiug hatred he feems to feel towards a whole nation of his fellow-countrymen.— the Scots. The Tweed, to be furc, flows between England and Scotland, but in go¬ vernment, conilitution, law*,—and above all, in literature,—ihcfe two rival coun¬ tries have long fince become entirely unit¬ ed. To revive the feelings of thofe old warlike day-, which have been immortaliz¬ ed by a fciies of poets, not in the world of politics, but in that of letters, is an idea worthy only of an old woman on the Bor¬ der. The literature of Great Britain fo-ms a whole of exquiu*e variety, and among modern nation*, of unrivalled excellence. It lias been reared by the hi>nds of Eng- lifh, Scots, and Iriih ; and to dillurb the union of their labours is in vain. Whac fliould we think of an Auftrian, who (hould be inftnfible to all the merits of Saxon li- tcra^uig > and yet the Auftrian and ti -xon are brethren only in one refp-'ct, while in uo point whatcv. r, that I know of, has the Englilhman different intereft1; from the Scotsman. It is a (Hame that the go-'d fetife of the Knglifli fltou'd have been fo long infiilted by Inch -nitVr.iblc tralh, as the :.buie 01 Scots univcTij'.ietf, Scot* rcli- gi- «. and Scots learning, in the Quarterly ' KevirW It i: '■o wonder lliat li.cnouh- ^ eru wiSBarc iomctiuies tcrupud to iculwte
