Diiooki.vn Fksriks. Yesterday an injunction from Ihe Court uf Chancery was served on the Company in posses, sion of Fulton Ferry, requiring them' lo surrender lo a new Company called (lie I'ninn Company, Ihe right and possess on of the ferry, with the harves and slips, floats, Ac. Ac, The rit, il seems, did not include the boali on tho Fulton Ferry, and the company iustanlly removed the four boats heretofore used. The new company brought the boats from the South Ferry, it Atlantic street, and obtained other boats, whereby the passenger al the ferry wero only interrupted for a short time. The men on the boats, clerks, collectors, all retain their places for the present.

Commuters at cither (lie Fultoti or Atlantic Ferry, can cms. at both by ono ticket, and both Ferries aro now tolerably accommodated with boats, although of thcn lrt) supply. Mucl' and diffcrcnca exist, between theso two companies, and we regret to say, that many citizens have taken sides warmly with one or the other Liriv. tili.n 3 whatever concerns accommodation on the Ferries, and ratri of loll Wo wish, most ardently, they were equal, ly sensitiyo to tho usurpations of tho city of New York, in taking a high rent for these Ferries, and using llirir in. flnence in the Legislature in keeping up a high rate of ferriage During the last thirty years no attempt has ever been made to obtain our rights in this matte As soon as our leading citizens will lay aside their 'mall bickerings, and pull together on the right end of the rope, Brooklyn will obtain her Ferry rights, and relievo us some portion of our taxes.

The Company ho aro now ejected from Ihe Ferry is composed of long Islanders, who a few years ago asociat. cd together to purchase tho short lease of Messrs. Leavitt and Butler. They subscribed the purchase money fur the sake of a good ferry, agreeing to require no more than 7 per cent interest, whatever might be the profits. It was antic paled that the same Company could renew the lease with the Corporation of New York, and continue their fund on the same conditions; but the Corporation thought proper to unite the Fulton At Atlantic street Ferr.es in one lease to one Company, and the existing Company thought proper lo refuo the terms.

The New Company was. therefore formed. Thero are some perplexing questions now at issue be. tween the two Companies. The old Company, with great justice, require payment at some convenient period, of their capital, invested In tho aforesaid disinterested manner, lur the common good.

The new Company offer tock st par in their Company, but the old proprietors arc fearful that the united ferric, will not prove profitable, and that they may not receive a good dividend, and ask to be paid off at par. Thi. is declined by the new Company, and the stock has consequently fallen. These differences aro much to be regretted, because un pleasant feelings exist between those who should be cor. dially united for one common object.

Wc aliall continue to write and publish on theso subjects, freely at ve think and shall lake the liberty to slier our opinions as often a we may find occasion There are (as we believe) good reason why the two ferric should be united and also, in duo time, all the Brooklyn femes. Each ferry should be kept np according to its claims, and not to lie too burdensome to the general fund. The economy of constructing the boats and trans, furring them from one to Ihe other the aid in lunrs of ice, or other interruptions the general commutation and ticket system, and the uniform rate of loll, are all con.id. cratinn. of importance.

We are for Brooklyn A whole of Brooklyn and would not willingly compromise at the expense of any section.

Among Ihe other incidents which seemed to vsry and enliven the triumphal march, not the least in their character and associations, was the presentation of wreaths, chaplels, and boquets of the choicest flowers, by the ladies from the windows, and children, so frequent and so many that literally the barouche in which Mr. Clay sat, became a flower vase.

There was a pause. Alas, for us," it sighed poor servants, we must bifle onr master's bidding." Old household voices waked around, and my ear was feasted with madrigal and talc.

Thero was a pause, and then a but, of thunder sounds, and grape shot, bomb and ball out flew. A sharp cry was heard, the drums beal, and the rush for Eternity had commenced. We fought like brave men, long and well; the conflict became gene, ral, confusion reignnd in the ranks, thick with sulphur stench the field was darkened, groans, shrieks, and all sounds horrible, were blent in chorus, and sword and ba vo- net were dealing death on all sides, when I fell. Mow i long I lay insensible, I know not but when I rec ivered from my faint, I was lyir.g in a baggage wagon onablc to speak or move. The conflict was over, but I could still ar the now feeble wailing ol the dung at distance, anu the heavy dropping of tho blood from my wounds, on the stones below.

I knew I was dying, and gasped for life, but the air seemed changed to liquid sulphur. I thought of home, and the loved, sought pardon for the past, faintly struggled and gasped for the last time, and was awake I woke not on Hunker Mill, owpens. nor yei at tierniantown but still on tho field of battle, I had en. countered a host. I awoke half suffocated, not with sul.

phur, but with the villainous atmosphere which filled my apartment. A violent thunder storm bad been raging without, the old mouldering walls were literally soaked through, and rain was dropping heavily through the rev. xes of the roof. I had lost blood, as my hands and face bore testimony albeit, ad and steel were blameless. A large piece of wall had fallen upon my head, and the rats had waltzed a la (ii-rman, behind the wainscot.

I never more had dream or waking vision sweet, during my sojourn there; for I never slept long enough to put two thoi'glits together. Alas! the real became too stronj for the ideal. I will not siv, however, that my cure was wholly effected. But if I ever thanked my Heavenly rather for mercies given, it was tor pure air, a comfortable bedroom, and bring in a land famed for innovations and new houses.

I have often witnessed the ill effects of minute inlerferancc in such matters whether arising from execs, of caution, or from tho mischievous spirit of governing every thing by medical rule and authority, without appeal to the hidings of the patient, even where these may securely bti taken in evidence. As respects mental exertion diir ng illness or convalescence, much more raulion is needful.

The present condition of life among tho higher classe produce, as much evil from excess of moral and intellectual excitement a from those of Ihe stomach and it is equally difficult to placo watch and nasonablc restraint upon them. In these instances, and tlry arc of common occurrence, the judgment of the physician, as well as firmness in Ins manner of interference, are urgently required. But in ordinary cases, and under more tranquil methods of life, he may leave much to the discretion and feeling of power in the patient himself, with the simple injunction, that his feelings should be duly consulted before any change is made. Dr.

Holland' Medical Notci. From the Journal of Commerce. GOOD FASHIONS. Cooper, the tragedian, has at last retired from tho stage, and intends to giTfarining and cultivate tho mom mul-iicaulis. Dr.

May hi stock and crop thrive! Would, exclaims the Public ledger, that a newspaper peff could promote h.scorn or help his potatoes. Mr. Senator Kivcs, of Virginia, is a very respectable rnrmer.

His farm contains six or seven thousand acres, all in a body, extending about seven miles. "On one side you perceive tlrrre or four hundred acres of wheat; on another, a comprehensive field of yellow corn; yonder are many acres of oats and on the mountain side a large field of tobacco." The editor of the Madisonian thinks that whatever may be said of Mr. Rive as a politician, there are few who can boast of finer wheat." We. cut these scrap from our exchange paper; and thev are but a specimen of many others, of a similar char acter, which might be presented. We regard it at an omen of good to our country, when men of other profes sions, or of no profession, address themselves to thecblti-vation of the soil, and gu lo work upon it like men.

Snch persons, whoever they are, perform their part in promoting thr great, neglected, vital interest of their country on the one hand, while on the other they do what in them lie. to check the mania of speculation, and gambling, and eiper-imcnting of al! kinds, which has recently beset our people to a degree disastrous in itself, and disgraceful to us in the eyes of all civilized nations. For these things the euro is in the oi regular, rational pursuits, and steady habits, and gains to bo relied on. Of course wo rejoice in every new accession to Iheag. ricultural interest, of improvement, nf invention, of science of any sort, mado available to the farmer in any way.

On the same principle we hail the example of distinguished citizens who add their personal responsibility and specta. bility to hi profession. In this connection Mr. flay and Mr. Biddle dese rve credit.

They have done something for farming, especially tho former, who is practical, assiduous and thrifty. Governor Hill's case again, is in point; we mention it with satisfaction, for his Farmer' Visitor" grows monthly in favor with us. In the last number he alludes lo his own operations. He planted five acres of corn May filh a January sort of a day. I lis neighbors laughed at him but now, he say Our corn is at leasts fortnight more forward than that of some persons who laughed at us for complaining of cold fingers when we planted it.

traveller Irom rorts-mouth who pass by this field, say thero is no superior field of corn between the two places; and wc cla'm credit for it, because it is land which two years ago wa covered with willow, brakes, and other bushes, and which from redundancy of river sand had been considered all but wori bless." This is the true rp-rit, and must do g.xd. If ho is a public benefactor who makes two blades of grass grow where none grew before, much more so he who carries on the process to this extent, and who takes pa to make known his efforts and his success. And we like the republicanism of the th ng too. We believe alto-rether in the farmer's party, and in the politics of corn. Here now is a picture for foreigners to consider "At the planting of this corn and at each successive hoe.

ing, wc have crossed thu river in tho morning with our workmen, and instead of returning where other employments called, have 'pt up our row with very little help during the forenoon at least of rach day. There is sn attraction for work in a growing field, that amply rompen. sates for all inconvenient, tweat of the face, and even for tired limbs." In the parr is mentioned the case ofthc attorney general of New Hampshire, who has a salary of ($1200, and finds it, it seems, too small, half of it being paid in "expenses." Now what doe he Why. Tho attorney has a lot of land in Goffstown, of sixteen acres, which he purchased se veral years at a low price. It wa a common meadow, producing a snnll crop of inferior hay, until he drained, ditched, changed the surface and manured it, sowing it down to herd's grass and other Knglish hay.

The farmers of the vicinity estimate Ibis improved land at fifty dollars the acre he believes the laud worth a hundred dollars, and therefore do. not dispose of it." Once more, tliTe is the venerable Judje Hives, of South Berwick. Maine. W.th a lucrative legal practice, he still manages one the best farms in a vic tv. Ho could aMord lo layout money in improvements: nd for several year it is supposed ho carried ire to the ground than was returned to linn.

"The Judge now derives both pleasure and profit from hi. firm. As described to us, he has converted much land deeni -d to be useless, in the ist fruitful fields. II mowing lands which produce abundance of Ihe best F.nglish hay, have been mild in the sunken wa.iie, having undergone Ihe operation of ditching anil other expensive prepar. ations.
