The lllolesworths got their rank and title of Baronet, not from Charles or James Stuart, but from the celebrated Prince of Orange, in 1689. This is a good sign. John Molesworth (same Emily), sat with Joseph Addison, the Spectator,

Writing to the electors of Leeds, December 1, 1838, he spoke very highly of Lord Durham's it s o- ken, he has voted with Hume and Baines agaigst Lords llowiek, Morpeth,Castlereagh, Sydenham, John Russell, Elliot, Palmerston, and Sir R. Peel, against robbing the public chest of Lower Canada, and against subverting those checks upon despotism, which in every land distinguish

conduct in Canada ; and to his honor be

the freeman from the serf.

We have learned, however, from a long and painful experience, to put little, very little trust in such changes as this. Sir William will pro- bably leave nine-tenths of his cares to the un- darlings of his department; he has never been

in North_America; _he has important duties to perform in the Cabinet, in Parliament, and in the management of his own estates. Those from Canada who will have occasional access to him, with whom he will transact business- whom he will believe as to public sentiment herc—are almost wholly of the class that have enriched themselves by the betrayal of the peo- ple, whose want of patriotism, and whose vanity and apathy they will count upon as hitherto. Unless, therefore, our countrymen exhibit a more united and noble spirit than latterly, mat- ters here may gohon from baddto worse, until ave revente evil, as in Ire-

and avarice ave begun.

After the above was in type, we read yester- da ’s Globe, and perceive its evident dissatisfac- tion, that the Lord Elgin, whose whole political conduct here its editor cheerfully endorsed by his vote at its close, remains shelved. Perhaps Sir William will not sleep so heavily nor so often as our friend imagines; but whether he does or not, let Canadians be thankful to Lord Palmerston for not inliiicting on British America any more of the rule of the plausible, avarioi- ops, treacherous, and experienced thane of El-

and lying on the stream which empties into the Connecticut op site to Dutch Point, where the said Dutch flrst landed and began works. about the time the Puritan colony came from Water- town, between which parties there was a shar altercation. All this tract is rich meadow an was regularly overtlowed by freshets. He first constructed a dyke or embankment on three sides of the plat, so as effectually to bar out the Connecticut. This dyke is 120 feet wide at the base, and 50 feet at the to , with an avenge height of 15 feet. Its circuit is two miles, and furnishes a beautiful street for a pedestrian excursion, or drive for fashionable equipages. The amount of embankment is 305,000 cubic yards. An extensive system of drains is under construction, the outlets of the sewers bein so guarded by gates worked by screws and fevers that in time of freshet no water from the river can enter. The design is, to lay out the whole enclosure into streets, and erect build- , ingson a level with the dykeaccording as his own I wants or those of his purchasers may require. 7 Col. Colt has himse fbegun the work ofbuild- l ing on a scale corresponding with the magnifi- cence of the ori inal plan. In one year, he has erected a buil ing,—to which in u very few weeks he will remove all his machinery from its resent location,—500 feet in length and 60 in hrcadth, built of Portland red sandstone. Also ii beautiful brick edifice, and well appoint- ed, for his business offices. Further on, south- ward, six buildings of brick, for operatives, which at a distance appear more like gentle- mcn's country seats, than seats, for operatives. On the immediate banks of the Connecticut and its tributary, he has constructed wharfs, and on one part a wharfing so inclined and ele- vated as to be available at all seasons,—when all other wharfs of the city are suhmer d in the freshets, as they are annually, this wi lbe clear, -—These works, exclusive of the purchase of the land, involve large ca ital, not less than a unr- tcr ofa million alrea y paid out, while the and itself cost fifty or sixty thousand dollars. He is also constructing, or will soon, a reservoir on the highest point of the western boundary, ade- quate to supply his entire city—the supply to be forced up by an engine from the Connecticut.

The effect of these improvements is already seen in the rise of lands on the \Vethersfield road, which passes on the west. I will not

A NEW KIND OF TEA.

The following notice of ii new kind of tea, called mate, from South America, appears in an American newspaper; being apparently extracted from papers connected with the Agricultural division of the Patent Office :—‘ There was lately procured by Lieutenant Page, of the United States ship ‘Water-wi't¢'li, which is now engaged in exploring the river Platte, in South America, for distribution, the celebrated mate, or Paraguay tea. The leaves of this plant are used, by in- fusion, in Paraguay, Uruguay, the Argentine Republic, Chili, Peru, and Ecuador, by all classes ofpersons, and at all hours of the day. The Creoles drink the infusion in a pot called mate, form the spout of which the tea is drunk, with or without a little hnrnt sugar, cinnamon, or lemon- juice. They drink it at every meal, and seldom est, before they have taken some of it. The more wealthy and refined portion of the population, partake of the infusion from a male, or teapot, formed of silver or other materials, by means of ii tin or silver pipe, called bombilla, perforated with holes at one end, to prevent swallowing the pulverized herb which floats on the surface. The quantity of leaves used by a person who is {on of it, is an ounce. It is customary, in good society, to supply each of the party with a mate and pipe, with the infusion as near as possible to a boiling temperature, which those who are habituated to its use can swallow without incon- venience ; but often the whole household and their visitors are supplied by handing the male from one to another, filling it up with hot water as fast as it becomes exhausted. If the water is suffered to remain long on the leaves, the decoction be- comes of an inky blackness. The taste of the leaves, when green, sornevvhst resembles that of msllows, or the inferior kinds of green tea from China. The people of South America sltribute innumerable virtues to this tree; but most ofthe qualities ascribed to it are douliiful. It is certainly sperient and diuretic, and, like opium. produces some singular and contrary efl‘ccis. It is said to give sleep to the restless, and spirit to the torpid; and, like that drug, when a habit is once con- tracted of using it, it is diflicult to leave it oil‘; its efiects on the constitution being similar to that

reduced b an immodsrste use of spirituous iquors. T e tree is highly ornamental, and doubtless would flourish ii any soil and situation where Magnolia grnndgflora would thrive. Hence its introduction into the middle and southern sections of the Union is well worthy of the atten- tion of all who have proper conveniences for cultivating it.’

Tfll FRINGE IN THE TIINC :III.

The French have not advanced any further towards the eneeiute of the Malskhoff. but they have been busily occupied bolh in extending and deepening the approaches already made. The irenches are sutfioiently wide now for the troops to stand four deep under cover from direct fire. The moon was full on the 29th instant, and the nights have been sutiicienily clear for working psriies in front to be immediaiely perceived by the enemy. A newly-placed gabiun becomes at once the signal for a terrific discharge of grape and siusll shells. The same causes have acted in preventing the sup from being extended toward the Redan. No firing of ilie Russians, be ll good or bad, slight or heavy, is able to impede the progress of the works. The surface of the ground in the neighbourhood of the Mrilakhotf works and ihe Redan is presenting every day s more check- ered appcsrsnce. It is one mass of trenches, traverses, rifle-pits, and b.'ii.ieries—s perfect maze, so that it requires a strongly developed organ of locality, or else many days of trench duties, to find one‘s way. The railway is perhaps the best test ofthe gigantic activity which is prevailing : numbers of mortars and large quantities of am- munition come up daily by it, and vanish again silently, in be replaced next day by 0lhefl- I! I3 as if the trenches were an unfathomable abyss, such an incredible mass of mortars, guns, shells, and shot do they seem to swallow up. When ihey will be satiaied, and when the word “enough” will be said, seems as uncertain as Crimean wheailier. A French oliieer ofartillery says, that Pelissier, being asked when olfeasive siege operations would be again resumed. said, “ Well, I don't know; the Russians are losing every day 300 or 400 men by sickness. If we wait a week they will have lost a brigade, if we wan a monih they will have lost a corps d’armee.” But if the Russians lose many men by sickness, they seem to be careful to replace them again.

destiny of Poland begins once more to co- cupy the attention of political writers and speakers on both sides of the channel. The late words of Sir Archibald Alison are quoted that “ in the very front rank ofthe great league of the Western Powers, which can alone preserve Europe from Russian subjugation, must be placed the restoration of Poland.” Such a measure is not regarded any longer as revolutionary, but as conser- vative; as an act of restoration necessary for the preservation of Austria, and even Prussia, and therefore requisite in order to revent Russia from absorbing Germany, and eventually all ofEurope. VVith regard to the manner in which the restoration of Poland shall be effected, unanimity of opin- ion does not yet prevail; but the most prac- tical plnn seems to be to permit Austria, when her compelled neutrality shall come to and end, to make common cause with the Allies, and, defying Prussia, to elevntea rince of the House of Hapsburg to the Polish throne. Such a step would cost her the abandonment of her share of the ill ot- ten spoils of last century; but the traditions of Maria Theresa, Francis, 1., and his mi- nister, Metternich, will easily reconcile the Court of Vienna to the abandonment of ac- quisitions which have hitherto proved a curse and not a blessing. Aided by England and France, Austria may succeed in excluding the Czar from a controlling influence in Europe, and confine his empire to Northern Asia, where it legitimately belongs. If Francis Joseph should hesitate in pursuin such a course, the result mi ht be the spec- dy forfciturc of the whole 0 his Sclavonic territories, and the eventual absor tion into Russia of the entire Austrian mpii-e.— New You]: Journal of Commerce.
