ALabama Madeira Wine, Ssc.-We acknowledge the receipt from our esteemed and enterprising fel low-citizen, Mir CoRNFILLE RoUDET, of three bot lies of Wine, two of last years vintage, and of the present; and also, of some choice and valuable specimens of fruits, such as Pears, Pomegranates, and Quinces, products of his Vineyard in Greene county. The Wine which is designated the Ala tama Madeira, is pronounced by good judges to be of an excellent quality, and only requires age to der it's flavor equal to the choicest imported Madeira In making this Wine, Mir R. informs us he found 1t necessary to depart in measure from the tablished European theory; but the process has been obtained from repeated practical experiments, calcu- lated for and adapted to the grapes ofourown climate

 Much doubt has been entertained, whether the Pear and Apple could be brought to any degree of perfection in southern latitude and at the con- mencement of the undertaking doubts were enter taned by MT R. himself of their ultimate success He was ofopinion that the fruit would be stony and the peal of rough and nature but his experi- ments have furnished ncontestibe evidence that, with proper management, they may be brought to the highest degree of perfection They of the species known the Full BergamOt the product of the third year since the trees planted In point of size (some being twelve inches in circumference) they far surpass the European growth, those oi the Northern States in our own country; and i. is said the soil and climate of Alabama is well adapted to their growth that the quality of the fruit has been greatly improved We learn from Mir Roudet that he has at present thirty different kinds of the Pear in high state of cultivation; among which are the one above described the Butter Pear the Rosselin, Seckel Sc. The Pomegranatcs are supposed to be equal to those of the West Indies and Spain. The Quinces are very fine and large, measuring 13 inches in circumference.

 Mir Roudet deserves much for his indefatlgable in- dustry and perseverance in developing the resources of Alabama in the various departments of hOrticu- ture, loracuture, tSc. and we hope the day is not far distant when his exertions will be duly apprec ated, and his laudable example followed generally by our planters. It is a well known fact that the soil and climate of our State is peculiarly adapted to the production of almost every thing which can con tribute to the wants of man. Not only the comforts but the uxures life can be obtained in the richest profusion by bestowng little attention to their cu ture and we are confident that if the impulse were once given, instead ofa continued prospect ofwide spread cotton fields, we should then behold the scene interspersed and enlvened with beautiful vine yards and orchards.
