TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS. y| VEIE: presage of a delay.in the appearance of periodi.

cal publications, communicated in our last number, has, unfortunately, been confirmed; and, notwithstand+ ing its feadiness in every respect, the present work; in common with every other monthly magazine, iS published only on the nizth instead ofthe first instant. Of this cir- cumstance Suficient intelligence will have been already received through the Public Jvurnals, and that there is every reason to hope it will not again occur.

We have felt ourselves compelled to admit in the pre- Sent number, a paper more political in its tendericy than ought to bave place in a work evclusively devoted to rural affairs« From 80 valuable a correspondent, it was 1mp03- Sible that any thing after having oecüpied his attention Should be rejected. We trust, however, he will not again 50 compel us; nor any oötlier correspondent, in Consequence; desire us to deviate from a rule which must be inviolably prezerved in tbe AGRICULTURAL Magazine: that No PO- LITICAL SUBJECTS, although connected with Agrarian in- ferestsS CAN EVER BE DISCUSSED. It is to the Silent opera- tions of nature in the bosom of the carth, and not the dis- tractions of human policy upon its Surface, that we wish

to direct the peaceful attention of our readers; and we are:

Sure that the goodvess of our excellent correspondent, on be effect of the income tax,&c. on farmers, will be ex tended to the consideration of our present DecCesSary pro- hibition.

The Subject of a GLosSÄRY. of provincial terms,&c. in Agriculture, has long been a desideratum, and it affords us much pleasure to See that it now occupies the attention of two of our most able contributers. We Shall most gladlyreceive from them as early as possSible, any asSiStance to meet a necessary purpose, and will.be equally g BEAN to all our readers, for that local aid wlüch can only be ob-

tained from a variety of inhabitants in different provinces, through Such a. medium, as that wbich we have the Satis- faction to offer them. It will receive our immediate and

Prompt attentiou,

.
