THE DAISY Sweet simple flower, though lost to fame, And scorn'd by every thoughtless wight ; Dow proud the orb which gave thy name— That splendid orb which yields us light! Surely thou'rt Nature's favour'd flower! She form'd thy peerless virgin ray, Then bade thee grace young Spring's new bower, And with him, hail the God of Day ! The glowing God beheld thee fair, As brightly glancing front the sky, And, pleas'd at Nature's friendly care, He said " Henceforth be caird mine eye !" Now each returning season brings . Thy little sliv'ry form to light, When Nature's fairy finger flings Her gifts, all teeming with delight s . Why valued less, because not rare, Thy beauty meets the common eye? The day's blest orb on each his share Of warmth' beetows—on low and high! Thy modest mien, thy lowly sphere, Shall to my footsteps sacred be, And as I view that orb so dear, Sweet flower, I'll still remember thee"! • " Thus the word daisy' is a thousand times pronounced, without our adverting to the beauty of its etymology, via. ' the eye of day.' "—Campbell's Lectures on Poetry. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GRAND ROWING MATCH. Yesterday the grandest display of aquatic competition of the sea. son took place on the River, for the wherry, Ac. given by the No blemen and Gentlemen composing the Funny Club. Some very distinguished patrons of the aquatic art appeared in their gallies. Among the entteis were the " Guards," the " White hall Club," and indeed nearly all the principal Clubs; the gallant band who rowed the great match from Word to London were in their galley. This prize was founded by the Club for the purpose of encou raging honesty and sobriety among the watermen, and was won, l after two beats, by Charles Maynard (Lambeth,) and James Joyce (Arundel stairs). BOXING. TIGHT 311TWILEN TUX SPRIG OP DITIVILZ (WM WWII) AND THE 11113). . FOILDSHISZ slap S:I7C. The place fixed upon for the rendezvous was Mr. Thorne's, at the White Horse, Eaton Bray, and thither Brown. who had at tended the fights at Chertsey, on Monday, repaired on Tuesday evening. On a spot orground admirably calculated for the purpose, in Eaton Park, occupied by a Gentleman of the name of Collings, a 24-feet ring was formed, and at about half-past one the comba tants entered, Brown, attended by two lade from the Long Town, and the Bird's-eye, by his brother and a farmer of the neighbour. hood. The appearance of Brown evinced a want of training, as well as fatigue from 60 miles travelling on the preceding day. His weight was only Bst. 81b. So formidable indeed was the countryman, and so great the disparity, that the Sprig's seconds, who had not till then seen his opponent, thought their man had given the chance away. A fight of fourteen rounds in seventeen minutes ensued, but the superior strength and weight of the Costrel availed nothing against the tactics of the Sprig, who regularly met his antagonist with the left hand on the rush, and whose agility prevented his being spoilt by the pully-hauley movements of the Champion. After the first ten minutes, Brown had completely reduced the countryman to his own weight, and he threw and fibbed hint with entire ease. In the last round the Countryman became furious, and kicked twice at the Sprig; the first attempt took effect on the face. The seconds: of Brown immediately stopped the fight, bat kept their man in the ring. as a wrangle was attempted. Ultimately, however, the money (201.) was awarded to Brown. As the brother of the chop-fallen Champion still grumbled, Brown offered to let the whole money be staked for a fresh contest, double or quits, before leaving the Ling, but it proved no go. SPARRING AT THE FIVES' COURT YESTERDAY. The day's sport aught to have been grand; but the amateurs did Slot assemble in the way talent ought to be rewarded. It was for the benefit of Peace Inglis, the man who beat the gallant Turner against his will. The sets-to were not supported, either in quality or quantity, as they ought to have been; the knock-about game was all the go be tween streamers of the Wapping hue; of the best sets-to were the following : The commoners were glad of employment, and these made some gratifying diversion. The bail was opened by Lennox and Gullets ; there was much sameness in that. . . It was to be regretted that for a brave man, who had distin guished himself in the ring, boxers who annually receive their bene fits did not attend. The best set-to in the Court was Reid and Inglis; the weight of Inglis was under that of Reid; it wag a give and take knock chop match; mutton not concerned, it was anybody's win. Reuben Martin and Gayner.—These aspirants are very little dis• tinguished in the ring, only having fought one battle each; the for. mer a winner, and the latter a loser. Gayner, although the loser, upon this occasion had a mod decided hest of Reuben Martin, and a Gentleman in the Court offered to back Gayner far a hundred. Ben Burn, full of eccentricities, offered to back his nephew for aCOL to fight any man in the world of his weight. The uncle says he shall be trained on bacon, cabbage, buttermilk, and honey. A medical correspondent in the Chester Chronicle states, that he has thoroughly cured hydrophobia by sa livation with mercury. Thursday, Robert - Demnet, currier, underwent the dis graceful punishment of flogging through the streets of Dunbar, pursuant to the sentence awarded against him by the High Court of Justiciary, for brutally assaulting and attempting to cut the throat of Francis Findlay. Friday se'nnight, the Ben-Nevis steam-boat, on ber way from Glasgow to Inverness, struck on a flat rock opposite port Appin, and within half a mile of the shore. The passengers were very numerous, arid a scene of great confusion ensued from their alarm. In a short time a number of boats came round the Ben-Nevis, which somewhat quieted their apprehensions; and it was agreed to send the Ladies first ashore. The most of the passengers, we are told, abandoned the vessel and proceeded to Fort William in open boati. The Ben- Nevis floated off the rock whir the flood tide, and reached Inverness on the Sunday morning, her passen gers having come on the preceding night. FlLM—Between the hours of one and two o'clock yesterday morning, the neighbourhood of Union -street, Southwark, was thrown into considerable alarm in con sequence of a fire breaking out in the house of Mr. Dodges, an oil and colourman, which proceeded from the lower part of the premises, and bnrut with such ra pidity, that the inmates had scarcely time to get out before the whole was one entire blaze. The flames next communicated to the house of a grocer, named Dobbi son, which was also burnt. SANGUINARY llxveNuE.—Yesterday two lads, em ployed to collate the printed sheets in the warehouse of Messrs. SPOTTISWOODE, ew•street-square, having quar relled, agreed to decide the difference by a pugilistic combat : after a round or two, one of the fistic heroes cried " hold, enough ;" and the other was consequently proclaimed the victor, with the reiterated acclamations of his juvenile companions. The other looked much chagrined, and in about halt an huur afterwards, steal ing behind his conqueror, plunged a large clasp knife into his belly: the poor boy immediately fell, crying out that he was murdered ; whilst the treacherous per pcuator endeavouied to make his exit during the con tusion ;Chic, however, was prevented ; the wounded boy w A% SC in off to St. Lirtholomew's Hospital; and the other to the Corn pter, until the surgeon's report is asces tamped. MURDER AT ORIGG. - - .CONFESSION OF J. WETHERILL The following is the statement given by him to one of the witnesses, which we withheld for obvious reasons when we published our former account of the murder, and which we should not now have made public were :he prisoner likely to be injured in the slightest degree by it; but this cannot possibly ensue, inasmuch as the trial will certainly come on, at the latest, on Wed nesday (this day), and the place (Lincoln) being too dis tant for the account to reach till after the prisoner shall have known his fate.—The confession is as follows: A witness swears that he heard the prisoner say,— " that on the evening of the murder, between nine and ten o'clock, he (the prisoner) was in a field belonging to Mr. Richard Smith, in the company of a man named Hare, propping upa haystack ; and that when they had done, they both proceeded together towards Brigg, until they came to the middle of another field, when he made an idle excuse to Hare in order to stop behind. As soon as Hare was out of sight, he (the prisoner) took a pistol from under his clothes, and loaded it, and he went on the road towards Bigby, but when he got opposite a close in the occupation of Mr. Potter, he quitted the turnpike-road, and crossed some fields in Wrawby parish. He then passed by a foz cover, and afterwards went through a bean-field, and got over a gate into the turnpike-road leading from Brigg to Wrawby. Almost as soon as he got into this road, be sat down by the road-side, and whilst he was sitting, he perceived some one coming along the foot-path from Brigg towards Wrawby. He then got up and walked in the direction of Brigg, where he met a young woman (Tomlinson). Soon afterwards lie heard a chaise coming along the road, and he got into a ditch to bide himself, by the foot-path, not far from the toll-bar. When the chaise had passed, he got up, and went back towards Wrawby, and met the deceased, to whom he bid " good night." He (the prisoner) walked on from sixty to a hundred yards, and then he turned back towards Brigg, and ran until he got near the deceased, when he slackened his pace, and walked after him, and, near a wheat-field, he fired the pistol and killed him. He then rifled his pockets, taking from them a watch and some silver (Bs. 6d.) He (the prisoner) then took off his shoes, and ran to Brigg, to his father's house, and went to bed." ANOTHER IRISH EXORCIST. A Correspondent in a Dublin Paper gives the fol lowing account of another Catholic attempt at exorcism, which, as in the case of the child, proved fatal : A poor, humble man, named Halloran, residing near Loughrea, in the neighbourhood of Kilcrist, being in a state of lunacy, his relatives were persuaded by their Confessor, that he was possessed of a devil. In such an exigency, no time was to be lost; and as the Holy Father who had made the discovery was a celebrated exorcist, he was immediately employed to dispossess the demoniac of his troublesome spiritual tenant. Having, therefore, procured a se ficient quantity of strong spirits for the oc casion, his Reverence commenced his exorcisms by taking a potion, to prepare him the better for the spiritual war fare in which he was about to engage. The demoniac was then stretched on a bed, in the presence of his mother and several spectators, who assisted in the operation. —After opening his mouth by means of a gag, the exorcist forced a large spoon down the unfortunate man's throat, for the purpose of bringing up, as he said, the demon ; but, instead of bringing out a spirit, he, pulled the tongue out of the lunatic's mouth, iu conse quence of which he expired shortly after !! Why was this horrible transaction passed over with out investigation? Why was there not an Inquest held on the body? Perhaps it may be said the officiating Priest was insane. To this I answer in the negative; for after undergoing the trifling punishment of three, months' suspension from his duty, to which he was sen tenced by his superiors, he was restored to his clerical situation, and is mow invested with full authority to per form all his spiritual functions. IRISH ASSIZES.—CLARE. Honora Concanon was indicted for the murder of W Higgins on Easter Sunday, at Currafin. The first witness knew Higgins; on Easter Saturday saw him in the prisoner's cabin; on Sunday she saw him begging; he returned to the prisoner's house in thb evening, and she never saw him after; Monday morn ing prisoner, who lived in an adjoining cabin, came to witness's dwelling—she asked witness whether she heard Higgins make -a noise on going from her house early that morning—witness replied that she heard no noise. In the evening of Monday the prisoner came again, and requested of witness to sleep with her ; witness at first declined, but the prisoner pressed her, and (in order to induce her) she took up witness's bed and carried it into her own house. Connor Higgins, son to the deceased, said that on Tuesday he saw the trunk of his father's body, the head and legs were cut Op ! I—the body was found in a pool; witness, on the search being made in the prisoner's cabin, found an old stocking and a great coat, which belonged to his father; witness afterwards saw the head and legs of his father's body. Thankins Brew, Esq. a Magistrate—Having heard that the trunk of a man's body was found in the river, he attended at the Inquest. Observed marks of blood from the cabin of the prisoner to a meadow in the direc tion of the river. At that meadow he ceased to trace the blood. Observed on the prisoner's clothes several marks of blood. There was blood on some stones, and blood under straw in the prisoner's cabin. Was not satisfied with having merely discovered the blood. He was determined to search more minutely. lie asked for the key of her chest. He got the key, and opened the chest. There was a policeman present, who took the things out of the chest, whilst witness held the lid. The policeman took out a quilt, and observed that it was heavier than it ought to have been. On taking out the quilt, an old friese grey coat was tacked to it. Saw the prisoner afterwards in jail, and had conversations with her. The prisoner mentioned that a certain indi vidual, whom she named, was the person who had corn. mitten the murder. She said that Patrick C— gave the deceased a blow with a heavy stick on the side of the head, as Ire slept, and that she held the legs of de- I ceased whilst Patrick was committing the murder, and when the legs were cut off; in order to account for having the blood on her clothes, she described herself as 1 standing in a particular position during its commission.' The Krt. John Murphy, a Catholic Clergyman—ln April last he told Mr. Watkins that if he sent directions to search a drain from a spring-well there, they would find sunk in the mire a bag containing the heed and legs of the deceased. Witness made the communica tion, in consequence of a conversation which he • had with the prisoner. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The JUDGE then sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on Saturday, the 31st of July, and her body to be deli , vered up to the surgeons for dissection. • PGLICE INTELLIGENCE. Al A SISION-HOUSE. Yesterday Mr. John Blankarn, a Gentleman engaged in mercantile business, and residing in America-squares waked Capon the LAY" lidaroe, and begged his Lordship's advice in a matter of great importance to the inhabitants of the parish in which he . resided. In consequence of Ms Lordship's decision in a late case respecting tithes, he had received the following extraordinary form of notice from the agents of the lay impropriator of that parish kSt.Botolph's Aldgate, in Portsoken Ward) : " are directed by Roger Kynaston, Esq. to apply to you fur payment of four qoartere arrears of tithes due to him at Christmas last, amounting to the sum of JCS 10s. and to inform lou, that 'adage the same be paid to us on or befoce Thursday next, we have peremptory instructions to file is bill against you in the Court of Chancery ; and you will particularly understand that this notice will not be repeated. " We are, Sir, your obedient servants, " R. G. and H. K. BURFOOT. " 2, King's Bench-walk, Temple, July 22, 1824. " Mr. John Blenkarn, 2, America-square." The Act of Henry VIII. directed that all disputes which arose under the alleged decree should be settled by the Lord Mayor for the time being ; and that only in his default should the parties apply to the Lord Chancellor. Here the Clergy threw up his Lordship N jurisdiction in defiance of their own pretended instrument, and in the present case, as the notice was a printed circular, which lie be lieved was general, the whole parish were threatened individually with the dreadful expense of suits in Chancery, if they ventured to resist the inordinate demand of 2s. 9d. in the pound on the rental. The 2s. 9d.- in this case was demanded upon the rack rent, which shewed to what an extent the inhabitants were now to be proceeded against. Th.! father of the present impropriator had for many years only taken 6d. in the pound; under particular circumstances the parish afterwards agreed to give Is. in the pound; but it was only by the present impropriator that the demand of 2s. ad. was put forth and acted upon. Under these circumstances, he begged to know whether his Lordship could in any way interfere, or the claim be resisted without taking it into the Court of Chancery ? He was de sirous of resisting the claim, bat he could not think of singly en countering the delay, expense, and uncertainty of a Chancery suit. The Loan MAVOK said, that hiawever oppressive the proceed ing might be, he could not interfere ; and his advice was, to those who felt the proceeding as oppressive, to call a Public Meeting and petition Parliament for redress and a proper settle ment of the claims of the Clergy. Mr. Blenkarn left the Office, as we understood, with a determi nation to act upon bin Lordship's advice, and to try to get the pa. rishioners together upon the subject. THIS RIVAL BXAIIIL —Mr. Macalpine and Mr. Money, two rival friseurs, residing in Threadneedle-street, were summoned for keeping' two live bears, which were not sufficiently secured to prevent danger or annoyance to the public. A smart young man, with his hair cut and curled with mathema tical precision, presented himself before the Lord Mayor, and said he had the honour to aid Mr. Money, who unfortunately was at Paris, and could not therefore attend his Lordship's summons. The deputy, in answer to the charges that had been made against his master's bear, assured his Lordship that it was the pink of propriety. Even if it was inclined to do mischief it could not, as its cage was so far from the window as to prevent the possibility of its reaching any one. It could only be seen, and surely there could be no harm in the mere sight of such an animal. The Loan Maroa.—Yes there can. If your mother had hap pened to have seen such an animal, we might have had a young bear before us now inptead of a spruce young barber—(Laughter.) If it be not removed,' shall order it to be indicted as a nuisance. The young friseur begged to state, that whatever be had said in defence of his master's bear did not apply to any other haninstal. It would doubtless promote the peace of the neighbourhood if the op position bear were confined. Mr. Macalpine declaimed with fury in defence of his bear, and endeavoured to make the Lord Mayor believe that in its nature and its manners it was as harmless as s lamb. The Loan Mayon told' Mr. Macalpine that it might be u he pleased in that respect, but if he suffered it to remain loose, or to create any further annoyance, it should certainly be indicted as a nuisance.—Upon this understanding the parties retired. BOW-STREET._ Yesterday, John Grits was brought before Mr. Hafts by Bart- lett, the beadle of Covent-garden, charged with a daring robbery. Mrs. Newton, a Lady :residing at No. 68, Chancery-lane, was standing at a fruit-stall yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, with a reticule basket in her band, containing her purse, in which were two sovereigns and other money, when the prisoner and another man got one on each side of her, and the former, thrusting his hand into her basket, snatched out her . She immediately seised him by the collar, and said, " Yo u rse thief, you have stolen my purse," upon which he put the purse into the hand of his compa nion, and they both ran off In different directions. A cry of " Stop thief !" was raised, and the prisoner was taken in Southampton. street, running at full speed towards the Strand.—The other got clear off with the purse.—The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Jones Norris, a watchman, was shortly examined, and remanded till a future day, on the horrible charge of committing a rape upon his daughter. MA RLBOROUG/I-STREET. Jaynes Flattery, a valet in the service of the Honourable Lieute nant-Colonel Hutchinson, was yesterday brought to this office, charged with robbing his master of various articles of valuable pro- perty ; and Letitia Waglit was charged with receiving the same, knowing them t• be stolen. Colonel Hutchinson, who resides with his uncle, Lord Hutchin son, at his house in Bulstrode-street, stated, that having occasion to visit the Continent a short time ago, he left the prisoner (Flattery), who has been some time in his service, in charge of his trunks, desk, &c. at Lord Hutchinson's; and on his return, a few days ago, he found that the prisoner had gone away, and that his desk and of his trunks had been forced open, and the principal part of their contents carried off. Clements, one of the officers of this establishment, stated, that in consequence of information he received, he apprehended the pri soner (Flattery) that morning at Lord Hutchinson's house, he having gone to visit one of the servants there, not knowing that the Colonel had returned. On searching the prisoner, he found in his pocket the gold snuff-box now produced, and which the pri soner acknowledged having taken ; but denied all knowledge of the other property. The officer, however, ascertained that he lived with some woman, and traced out the female prisoner as tb.tt per son; and, on going to her lodgings, in North -street, he told her that he was sent by Flattery for such and such articles, naming them, and she immediately handed him all the property now pro duced ; and he took her into custody. This property consisted of shirts, neckcloths, stockings, a number of valuable rings, gold seals, chains, brooches, site. &c. the whole of which Colonel Hutchinson identified as his property ; indeed, the shirts had his name marked on them ; hut the Colonel said, that, independent of this mark, he should instantly know them by the cut of the collars, they having been made and shaped in a peculiar way for him, at the Cape of Good Hope. One of the seals produced, Colonel Hutchinson said was made a present to him by one of the sisters of Bonaparte.— The gold snuff-box was of the most curious and beautiful work manship, made in Paris. The prisoner Flattery said, that be did not deny taking the snuff-, box, but that was all of the property he knew anything about, and disclaimed ever having broken open the Colonel's trunks. The female prisoner said, that Flattery brought the property found with her to her lodgings, in a bundle, and told her to take care of it, but she had no knowledge either of what the bundle con tained, or that it was stolen. Mr. Costar; tke Magistrate, said, that if that was the case, sbe was the least curious of any woman he ever knew. Both prisoners were remanded, to have search made for some more of the missing property. QUEEN-SQUARE. CMITSOBI3O PARNIBROIMILS...—TWO women having complained to the Magistrates of the conduct of Messrs. Graham and Stocks, pawn brokers, of Tothill-street, Westminster, the latter partner attended at this office yesterday, at the request of the sitting Magistrate. One of the women stated, that on Thursday night they were com ing down the colonnade after the Opera was over, when she kicked something with her foot, and on picking it up she found it was a bracelet. Friday morning,being iu want of some money, she pledged it at the shop of Graham and Stocks for 10a. Monday monting their shopman called at her lodgings and o(ered her ss. for the du. plicate; she refused that sum, and he then aired her 10s. she still refused to sell it, adding that perhaps the bracelet might be adver tised, and if so, she would redeem it and restore it to the owner...-. She had, at the time of pledging it, no idea of its value, but from the shopman's earnestness to obtain the duplicate, she supposed it was worth a much larger sum. The shopman then went away. Mr. Stocks, one of his employers, then made his appearance, with a constable, and demanded the duplicate, saying that the bracelet was advertised. She refused to deliver the duplicate to Mr. Stocks, but intrusted it to the care of the constable. She then examined the newspapers, and found the bracelet advertised, and a reward of two guineas offered ; the address of the advertisement was 171, Tkca• dilly, whither she went, and was from thence referred to the owner, Lord Montford, Cadogan-plate, to whom she related these facts. Lord Mantrord g wriwattetsded dds inquiry; said that 11r. S t ,„;, brought him the bracelet, and received the reward, as well as les. for which it'avas pledged. ..Mr. Stocks, in his defence. merety said It was customary for pawnbrokers to receive rewards for articles pledged with them. Mr. Wines expressed his indignation at Mr. Stocks' cond and observed, that be had no claim whatever to the reward,for the owner of the duplicate was, for the time, the owner of the property Mr. %Clara observed, with much warmth, that he regretted t., under the necessity of again publicly. telling Mr. Stocks, that was the worst conducted house in Westminster, and if he had th e case in hand (it being hlr.G antoosues day), he would convict in ti , e penalty of 101. at once. Mr. Gasommul—(To Mr. S.)—Have you received the reward Mr. Stocks—Yes, Sir. Mr. Gamoottra—Then instantly refund it. (The money produced.) Woman, take it up ; the reward is yours; and tak• th.t ticket again ; and if-the pawnbroker does not r estore the r0pt.t....- pledged by you, upon producing the ticket, you can lay an infore ll . tion against him for its recovery. The girl took the reward and the duplicate, and was about the office, when Lot d Montford desired her not to go, as he o f f,l„, t to converse with her. His Lordship added, that there was a of plunder which ought to be checked, and he was determined case should be prosecuted farther. ills Lordship then held a long conversation with the girl, re:a. tire to proceeding against the pawnbroker. UNION-HALL Two men, who gave their names Jack Hall and Bill Smith, - c brought up in custody from Lambeth watch-house, ch.inged disturbing the graves in Lambeth church-yard. Seager, the sexton of the parish, stated, that for some rcn••th of time be has had reason to suspect the two men at the bar committing depredations in the burial-ground at T.smbetli, and •,a consequence appointed an extra number of persons to watch tin,: motions, and placed them in such situations as would enable tht-Ta to see all passing in the ground, and prevent the e s cape of Anote:co out of the church-yard. That morning, about one o'clock, as he and his putty were on the look-out, they eb.erved two men ap. proach the palisades that surreund the burial-place, which they: ; :;. mediately scaled, and proceeded over to the grave of a corpse wt: •y was recently interred, and commenced work. They had not boa Many minutes engaged with their ottovels, when the look-oat n..ery fired a pistol, as a signal for their companions to intercept the of fenders on their retreat. On the report of the shot the two fellows took to their heels and ran towards the palisades, over which Hall darted like lightning, and escaped down Paradise.street ; but his " pal" not being so expert a jumper, on reaching the palisades cried out for quarter, and gave himself quietly into custody. He was conveyed off to the watch-house; and in about an hour afterwards Hall, who thought all was quiet by that time, came to ascertain the fate of his companion, when he was immediately recognized, and placed in confinement. Mr. Seager added, that on the spot where the prisoners broke the ground were found all the implements us.d by resurrection-men, which they left behind them in their hurry to escape, consisting of shovels, gouges for wrenching open coffins, and about seven feet of rope, with a noose at the end, used for the pur pose of hauling bodies out of their graves by the neck, together with a bag for conveying them to the anatomists. Mr. CHAMBERS immediately sentenced them to three month imprisonment, as rogues and vagabonds. The prisoner Hall said that he would give bail, and appeal at the Sessions against the conviction. At the competition of Pipers br the prizes of the Highland Society, at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, Lord STRATI'. ...YEN stated, that a piece of plate had been voted to Mrs. Doss by the London Highland Society, in acknowledgment of her liberality, for the gratuitous use of her ilheatre fur the competiti: , 7l for several years. A summons, at the instance of the Officers of SrAte, was executed against the Magistrates of Dundee on Saturday week, concluding to have it found that the alteration of the sett of the burgh by the Convention was illegal, and that all the procetdings since then, and all the elections under the authority of the Comet:. tion, should be reduced and set aside. ARACACHA ROOT.—A New York Paper contaias the followin& letter from Dr. Mitchill to the Messrs. Prince, of Flushing, relative to the introduction of the South American plant Aracacha: " New York, June 24, 1824. Gentlemen—After several disappointments, and repeated, I may almost say unwearied exertions, I this moment got possession of a box sent me by my correspondent, H. M. Mitchill, of Caraccas, containing roots of the famous South American plant called Araea cha. The root is esculent; and reported to be more palatable, nu tritious, and productive than the potaroe. Its native soil is the regi.a around Bogota ; which is so high above the level of the oceau,in the middle Andes, as to correspond with our middle latitudes here , . *bouts. By the delay of the voyage, the dampness of the packing, and perhaps other causes, all the roots my friend had forwarded were found to be rotten except two. These are sound, and in a ve getating condition—precious survivors of the surrounding mortality . The Baron de Shack wrote me word they were the food of th e rich as well as of the poor—of the lordly master and of his humble slave. He also stated, strange as it may seem, that this extraa.s - vegetable is a species of Corrium. Living plants will be fur warded by bins from the island of Trinidad, if required. Set we now possess them. These specimens are consigned to your c 'r, from considerations of personal regard, and (runt a persuasion thq will derive from your skill and means the belt chance of and producing seed. Take them under your special protecii•in,as I believe them the only ones that have ever reached these shore. " SAMUEL L. M1TC1111.1.."
