This Compmay is form ed for the purpose o f manufacturing Cocoa-Nut Fibre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent granted to Georg Davies, dated the 24th April, 1862. The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists la the improved pile of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weaving . , great durability is given to the fabric at a reduced cost of manufacture. The superiority of articles manufactured by this process over the present method will be well understood in the trade when it is stated that matting of all descriptions, and car riage and door mats, &c., have a thick fibrous pile upon the surf ace hitherto unattained. If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in lull. Specimens of the new and improved manufacture may be seen at the offices of the Company, where applications for prospectuses and shares may be made. T HE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF ENGLAND (Limited).

The Directors of the Life Association of England having secured the influence of very valuable connections throughout the United Kingdom, in most of the Colonies of the British Empire, and several Continental countries, and having re ceived promises of subscriptions for a large number of shares, will enter upon the business of Life Assurance on the 15th July next, on which day a complete prospectus, detailing the plan of the Company's operations, and containing tables of rates, will be issued to the public. Arrangements also have already been absolutely made by which a large business will be acquired by the Company at once and further negotiations to the same end arc far ad vanced. The Directors will further carry out an entire reconstruc tion of the system of Life Assurance, on a plan devised by their Consulting Referee, by which the Association's business transactions will be rendered perfectly equitable in opera tion, and afford the best security, whilst the Association will be placed in the be•t condition to fulfil its future engage ments. The plan in question will be well adapted to the wants of the people, affording all the advantages of present Life Offices, and some of those of a Hank. It will also ope rate at less risk, less expense, and lower premiums than offices ordinarily constituted. The Directors, therefore, confidently anticipate a very handsome dividend from the first year of business opera tions. The value of Insurance Shares as an Investment, evidenced by the large premiums to nli,ch most of them have gradually risen, and the handsome and increasing dividends and bonuses which have been paid upon them, is a fact so well ascertained and acknowledged as to need no comment. Interest will be paid upon the capital at 5 per cent. per annum, until a dividend of larger amount shall have accrued. The liability of the shareholders is limitel to the amount unpaid on their shares. The Local Boards in the principal Cities and Towns of the United Kingdom will be selected from the most influential shareholders. The sum the Directors have wreed to pay on account of preliminary expenses is merely sufficient to recoup the actual expenditure, which has been regulated throughout with the strictest rzdard to economy. Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained from, and applications for the remaining shares, and for Agencies, may be made to, the Secretary, at the Office of the Company. or the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers before mentioned.

Profession or Business Dede _ULM. • 00000000 use • • •,ut - - This Company is formed to carry on a trade with the na tives on the West Coast of Africa, by bartering Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, and other manufactured goods, for Palm Oil, Cotton, Ivcry, Ground Nuts, and the various pro ducts of that great continent ; to throw open to the public the benefit of that which has hitherto been a close and pro fitable trade to a few, and, by extending its operations Into the interior, to spread at the same time the beneficial influ ence of commerce and civilisation amongst its dense and active population. _ _ It is well known that the African trade, particularly on the great rivers, has hitherto been exclusive, and that la ge fortunes have been realised, wherever the required capital was at command, by the simple system of Darter carried on with the natives. _ _ At present Palm Oil o'ms the most important article of trade with the whole coast of Africa. The production is un limited, so much so, that wherever the civilised trader has not penetrated, the nuts of vast regions of palm trees are left to rot in the forest. The constant demand for Palm Oil in all European markets is such that any quantity can be sold on its arrival in Eneland. The export of Palm Oil from the Bight of Biafra has proved to be on the average about 40,000 tons a year, representing a value of about £1,600,000, and this large amount has been col lected by the natives within the small part of coast line from Cape Formosa to the Cameroons, not more than aoout 300 miles. This trade is almost exc usiv 'lv in the hands of a few English merchants, and is susceptible of very consider able increase. The Bight of Benin is next in importance in the export of Palm Oil ; according to an official report of the trade in 1857, no less than 21,172 tons of Palm Oil, of near £850,000 value, were exported from the factories of Palma, Benin, Lagos, Badagry, Porto Novo, and Whydah. Cotton is generally known to be indigenous to every part of the West Coast of Africa, but particularly so in the coun tries bordering the Bights of Benin and Biafra. In Yorub a Cotton forms already one of the staple productions of the ountry, and great quantiVes are brought regularly to mar ket; ft properly organised a larger supply than hitherto ob tained could be secured for exportation ; it is computed that n this province alone. 8,0G0,0001b. of Cotton are made up an nually into native cloths for home consumption. The import of Cotton from Africa is steadily increasing. Amongst the num erous p ro d uc t s o f Af r ica one article de serves special notice, which has lately been exported in ra pidly in creasing quantities ; this is the Palm Nut Kernel, baaits_t 9f , which has hitherto been thrown away by the natives Hol e -L. .1 a , Palm s Oil h's been extracted from the fibrous pel very T o : ei i s irrounds the nuts. The value of this kernel is val ue te rnerable ; it yields about 30 per cent. oil, equal in ted. " trict of 1 ~,Z -cm -Nut Oil ; and although th e natives in the dis a ride , y g e oa and B a d agry no w manufacture the N u t 011 i n very li m i with great loss, the exports of this article are In order to s rangeme t. with a reeeded in effecting the compay with at once an immediate profitable trade. on a lucrative and tu rn ' an advantageous ar which has for some years past carried inehigtean.sing trade wilh Africa, by purchasing their business, et„...._.their factories, now in full operation on the coast, and f:reneral staff employed their Agents, supercargoes, and have undert ken to 1%84 PM- The principals of this firm of the business of the C omp n ae the direction and management The Company, therefore, la enabledt to commence business armed on every point, and free the usual risk and loss consequent on experimental triairn. „ luxe i!ha s , i n tut only to tendas far as possible to the ex business which is already establish ec i est ern coast of Africa a ration in a particular and eery importandl in successful ope- A , plications for shares must y be made in ocality. to the Dii ecors ot tne Coman, at the , _ wi the form annexed, to the Bankers or Brokers, and aceom p :_ e , Porary Offices, or ...eft by a deposit of £1 per share.

The weather at commencement was very favourable to the shooting, but towards 11 o'clock the sun was so intensely bright that the shooting which took place then, until fully an hour aftel wards, was conducted under great disadvan tage. Alter this time, until the close of the day, there was a gentle breeze and just sufficient sun to make the day agreeable without being oppressive. Two additional acci dents happened yesterday, John Bilham, Ist battalion Coldstream Guards, was wounded in his left wrist, just above the wrist, and Private Frank Davie, of Ist battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, was injured in the right arm and both cheeks from the splinter of a bullet. In the course of the aftcrLoon the Duke of Cambridge sent a mounted or derly for copies of all notices in reference to the prevention of accidents. The following notice was posted up at various parts o! the ground : " 1. Any person firing at the target when the white danger disc is exhibited above it will be fined 10s. " 2. At each firing point are placed two boards, between which competitors will fire at the targets with correspond ing numbers. Any person firing at the wrong target will be fineo. IN. " 3. Any person refusing to pay the fine at once will be excluded from all further competition, and his entrance fees returned," Previous to the markers and officers in charge o firing parties resuming their duties after dinner they were addressed by Colonel Steel on the above notice, and Lord Elcho, M.P., said they were to see that no one discharged a rifle except in the pits provided for the purpose, and with the permission of the officer oc non-commissioned officer in charge of the range. An officer had been disqualified from further shooting owing to this cause, and the council had determined to adopt the same measure in each case that came under their notice. This year the association have adopted a new system of marking, consisting of painted discs, white representing a bull's-eye, red a centre, and black an outer. Attached to each disc is a brush, which washes out or paints over each shot, as the case may be, the disc pointing out the exact position of the shot, which the old system of marking by flags did not do. Although the new plan has advantages over the old one, it has one disadvantage in not clearly notifying to the firing point that a man has left hismantlet, for which Lieutenant Gould, of the 12th Surrey RifEs, at the solicitation of Lord Elcho, was engaged yesterday in devising a remedy. The public schools competition for the Ashburton Chal lenge Shield caused great excitement, as a large number of the upper ten thousand came down to witness the match. There were eleven representatives of each of the following schools :—Eton, Rugby, Cheltenham, Winchester, Harrow, and Marlborough. The ranges were 200 and 500 yards, five shots at each distance. Eaton won the Ashburton Challenge Shield, and Mr. Deedcs, of Winchester, Earl Spencer's 'Jul), value £2O, which was competed for by the best eleven from each school.

The running man target was liberally patronised through out the day. His Grace the Duke of Somerset, K.G. First Lord of the Admiralty, arrived at the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth dockyard, the official residence of Vice- Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., yesterday afternoon, from London, and shortly afterwards, accompanied by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, and Rear-Admiral Superintendent Geo. Elliott, walked through the dockyard, going on board and minutely inspecting the Enchantress, new Admiralty paddle yacht, Master Commander Petley, and the Royal Sovereign, turret ship. On leaving the latter ves sel, the Duke visited the Warrior dock, in which the iron frigate Hestor is receiving her bilge keels, giving a cursory look as he passed along at No. 4 dock undergoing alterations. From the Warrior dock the duke proceeded in the Admiral's carriage to the site of the intended naval barracks outside the walls of the dockyard and between the north east corner of the yard and the London turnpike road. The ground on which the new barracks will stand will comprise part of the site of the northern portion of the present Portsea fortifications which are about to be levelled. After spending some time there, the Duke re-entered the Admiral's carriage, and, returning to the dockyard, embarked on board the Fire Queen, steam yacht, Master Commander Paul, and crossed over to Osborne on a visit to her Majesty. Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., Port Admiral and Naval Commander in Chief at Ports mouth, yesterday morning shifted his flag at the fore of H.M.S. Victory from white to red, the flag ship's guns firing the usual complimentary salute on the occasion. It was rumoured yesterday at Portsmouth that the Channel fleet is about to proceed on a cruise in the North Sea, and will probably make a second visit to the Baltic. The Columbine, 4, screw steam-sloop, 669 tons, 150 horse power, Commander T. L. H. Ward, has been refitted at Sheerness, and sailed on Tuesday for the north, for the protection of the Scotch fish eries. Since the Columbine left Sheerness some few weeks bp on particular service Lumley's new patent rudder, with which the vessel is fitted, has been thoroughly tested at sea, and is declared by the authorities to be a complete success, at least 50 per cent. being gained over the old rudder, both in time of turning and in the diameter of the circle. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Corn manding-in.Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Saturday, the 11th inst. Yesterday Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, held the first review this season of the troops composing the garrison of Chatham. Accompanied by Lieut.-Gen the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K C. 8., Adju Cant-General to the Forces; Col. the Hon. R. Char. aerie, aide•de-camp ; and Colonel Chapman, C. 8., he arrived by early train from London, and was received at the railway station by Major-General H. Eyre, commanding the garrison, the guns at the Corn wallis battery, manned by a detachment of Royal Marines, firing a royal salute. The various corps were under arms at 9 o'clock. Each of the troops, the whole of whom were in heavy marching order, was provided with 15 rounds of blank cartridge. On leaving the railway station his Royal Highness and Staff rode to the other side of the garrison to St. Mary's casemated barracks, just vacated by the In valid Depot, and now undergoing some important alterations to adapt them for the reception of troops. All the alterations are being carried out from the suggestions made by the Army Sanitary Commis sioners, but it is probable that they will only be used as a kind of makeshift, and before long revert to their former use—that of vast store places for the entire garrison. The Dake of Cambridge spent half an hour at St. Mary's barracks, during which he visited most of the quarters set apart for the officers. His royal highness next rode to Brompton barracks, occupied by the Royal Engineers and the infantry of the Line, and spent a short time at that establishment. The troops were formed on the Brea Lines by 11 a.m., and, notwithstanding that the strength of the garrison of Chatham is smaller than it has been for a number of years, the force under arms was an exceedingly imposing one. The troops included the Royal Engineers, under the command of Colonel H. D. Harness, C. 8., consist ing of the six depot companies as well as the other companies at the head-quarters ; the Chatham division of Royal Marines, commanded by Col. T. Leman, C. 8., and consisting of two battalions under the respective commands of Col- Lowder, Aide-de camp to the Queen, and Col. Foote, and three bat talions of infantry under the command, respectively, of Col. H. Jervis, Col. E. Newdigate, and Col. the Hon. J. J. Bourke, including the Ist and 2d Bat talions of the 4th King's Own, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 12th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 19th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the 20th Regiment, 31st Regiment, 35th Regiment, 43d Light Infantry. 51st King's Own Light Intantryr, 52d Light Infantry, 75th Regiment, 81st ReOnl a en a i 91st Regiment, 94th Regiment, 101st Roy B Fusileers, and the 102 d Royal Madras Faleasrir'el_evegerds: Shortly after 11 o'clock his royal highness front and was received by Major-Gene the usual salute. of the line, when the troops alonggave the front and His royal highness rode slowly , rious bettalions. in front rear of the line and inspected the various staff.

But it must be hoped that there has been some exaggeration on Ay i,047/ this head, for no detachment with so many excellent a officers as that of Horodinski possessed had appeared in Poland since the beginning of the insurrection. Ultimately Wysocki, after holding a council of war, decided on Wednesday evening to repass the frontier, and he is now, with by far the greater part of his men, in Galicia. Ido not think the entire number of killed and wounded in Wysocki's corps can have amounted to anything like a hundred, end very few indeed fell into the hands of the Austrians. The arms they left in a place of safety. Wysocki having been too late for Horodinski, and not having waited long enough for Minniewski, it is thought neverthe'ess that Mieniewski will eater Volhynia to-day, and try for the third time whether a few companies of Poles can drive the Russians out of Itadziwilow. The tlircc detachments to gether, attacking the town in three different places, could doubtless have taken it Testerday morning ; hut now that the Russians are prepared, I see no reason for supposing that Mianiewski will succeed where Horodinski failed, and Wysocki was scarcely able to make a serious attempt. Wysocki's loss in ofileera wa3 very great, and of the aides-de-camp, who were much exposed, scarcely one escaped being hit.

In spite of the report spread a few days ago that Colonel Jordan had been killed while leading the centre of the last detachment which left IVestern Galicia for the Kingdom of Poland (1,100 strong, in three separate bodies), it appears now, to the great joy of his numerous friends, that ho is alive, and not very seriously wounded. About 200 of the entire force are said to have penetrated into the kingdom. The rest were either killed, wounded, and made prisoners, or driven back into Galicia, Among the dead are several young men belonging to the principal families in Poland. Colonel Jordan was chief of Dembinski's staff during the Hungarian war. He is the head of the military division of Cracow and Sandomir, and the last expedition but one which entered the kingdom from Cracow in any force—the one in which Nullo was killed--left under his direction, though not, as many journals have stated, under his personal com mand. Before the whole corps could be got into the presence of the enemy the first companies were prematurely routed, and the general did not make his appearance on the other side of the frontier at all. _ _ l' 41 "; .4isk line poured in several volleys. Foiled in this attempt the attacking party now appeared desirous of operating on the flank of the army, which im • mediately changed front, and the line reformed, advancing as before, and reaching nearly the ex tremity of the Lines, by which, it was presumed, the enemy had been completely driven be,ck. Tire troops afterwards retired in divisions, and formed squares to resist the advance of cavalry. After executing a few other movements with remarkab:e steadiness and rapidity, the original line was re formed, and the entire force advanced, when a general salute was given and the colours lowered. The ender was then given for commanding officers to proceed to the frout, when his Royal Highness addressed them at some length. He expr esse d hi s high satisfaction at the manner in which the troops had gone through the various manccuvres, and was happy to fled that the various corps at the Chatham still maintained their high state off of to their The troops were then marched ‘ respective quarters, and his Royal Highness afterwards left the garrison under a salute - from the guns of the battery. Major Gen. Bloomfield, 11. A., is at present en gaged in inspecting the artillery stationed in Ports mouth and the south - west distri c t.

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND, (Rom the Special Correspondent of tile Times.) GALICIAN-VOLHYNIAN FRONTIER, July 2. The combined expedition from Galicia to Vol hynia, after being organised, disorganised, and re organised on various plans, was declared ready for the frontier last week, and on Sunday the points of rendezvous were made known, and orders issued to assemble the same evening. Three thousand names had been inscribed, and arms for that number of men concealed in the woods near the border, but so many seizures were made by the Austrian soldiers and police that, at the last moment, it was found impossible to arm more than 2,000. Then came the news that Minniewski, who was to command the left wing, and who had more than the usual diffi culties to contend with in getting his force together, would not be ready to cross with the main body ; and, ultimately, when the centre, under General Wysocki, and the right wing, under Colonel Horo dinski, had succeeded in reaching the forests which extend from Galicia far away into Volhynia, it ap peared that between them they could only muster from 1,100 to 1,200 men. With this very small army, in two divisions, it was resolved to attack Radziwilow, the nearest Russian town to the Aus trian frontier town of Brody ; and it was hoped that if it were taken Minniewski would be able to enter the place the next day with 500 new troops. To wait for Minniewski was impossible, as there was reason to believe that the Austrians were already on the track of Wysocki and Horodinski; indeed, the rear guard of the latter had scarcely crossed when the approach of Austrian troops was an nounced, and some of the Polish gentlemen of the neighbourhood who had undertaken to see the de tachment to the frontier would, but for the darkness and storminess of the night, in all probability have been made prisoners. The plan agreed upon was that Wysocki and Horodinski should both make for Radziwilow— the former from the immediate neighbourhood, the latter from a point about six English miles to the south. If Horodinski was attacked first Wysocki was to march to his assistance. Otherwise, it was the intention of Wysocki to remain on the defensive in the woods before Radziwilow until Horodinski announced his approach. This plan for various reasons could not be carried out. Wysocki, pursued by the Austrians, had to take a difficult and circuitous road to the border, or he would have been stopped before he had fairly started, and when he had at last got over his men had marched nearly 30 miles and had eaten nothing for 24 hours. Worse than that, it was 7 in the morning, and there were no signs of Horodinski, who had promised to advance towards Radziwilow at daybreak, and expected either to arrive there at 3 o'clock, or, in the event of being attacked by superior force, to receive aid from Wysocki within an hour, at the utmost, from the commencement of the battle. However, at about 8 o'clock some 800 Russians had collected outside Radziwilow, and were gradu ally improving their position, when Wysocki, though still ignorant as to the position of Horodinski, found it necessary to attack them. The oppoing forces were nearly equal, but the Russians, it is to be pre• sumed, had had a few hours' sleep, and something to eat the day before, and had not worn themselves out by a march of 30 miles. There was plenty of cover on both sides, the Poles firing for the most part from a forest, while the Russians aimed coolly and quietly enough from a field of rich, ripe corn, which if it could not protect at least sufficed to con ceal them. Between the wood and the wheat there were a few houses and huts, chiefly inhabited by Jews. Here a numer of Rssian sharpshooters established themselvebs, and for u some time kept up a murderous fire, from which the Poles could only save themselves by burning the miniature village. When the Russians came out they were charged and driven into the corn by a company of sithemen. This was the only instance of anything like hand to-hand fighting throughout the battle. No caval or ry were engaged, there were no bayonet charges, was a single volley fired. The Russians, to iike t Poles, fought in op en order from beginniug end, and did not onc e g ive them the oPPor tunity which they have so often profited _b a y sse i : . o ther engagements of firin g upon dense nl es veral The Polish infantry were too Enfeebled by hang and fatigue to be allowed to charg forward ; as companies were very anxious to betired that many for the cavalry, the horses weore theo e,ltollough se other hand, the of them could scarcely move.G c alled back his Russians, when the Polish forest, showed foremost line of skirmisheirl:mine, ntri f i r d iahl t e he battle end e d no disposition to followhte ro l e s half covered in th e as it had begun—with t entirely concealed wood, and the Russiansnip Ilona who found in th, them corn-fields. unhappy inhabitantsP:°n w e were e f the th e selves in a to l t . a h l e ly o ne wj little vil- Jews and other neutral situated between the two where Horodin ski so unfortunately bodies of combatants. he did not com e to his assist ance,While Wysocki was wondering l a hi n n d t why y eer had actually entered Rad ziwilow at three o'clock, and his o f from 400 to 500 s detachment (consisting men) back until five, when all that WE. was nr t beaten to the frontier and entered pursued.

As it so completely beaten corps Was so fearfully cut up and that Wysocki, when he came up at seven, could se e no signs of its having been anywhere the appointed place of meeting. He did not even know the right wing had passed the fron tier until the news was given him by an English gentleman NO' .o had gone as an amateur to visit Radziwilow under the impression that it was already in the hands of Wysocki, and who, finding that a h, ...ttle was going on, and perceiving that "eerne one had blundered," went into the thick of the fire and told the General that he bad seen Ho rodinski cross over into Volhyuia the night before. Wysocki thought that if he went on fighting Ho rodinski must soon be near enough to hear the firing ; but Horodinski was dead. Ho had fallen in a desperate hand-to-hand struggle in the middle of the market-place of Radziwilow at the head of his troops, urging and calling them on to the very last. It is feared that Major Sykiewicz, who commanded the infantry, shared his fate. My informant saw him fall from his horse just as the Russians were Mielencki, the chief who distinguished himself so greatly in the region of Kalisch, some two months ago, against the troops of Prince Wittgenstein, and who, according to the Russians, was killed, accord ing even to the Poles mortally wounded in his last battle, is expected again in the field. The circum stances under which Mielencki joined the insur gents in the first instances are rather remarkable. In the government of Warsaw, close to his own residence, he was out riding one day, when he found a priest belonging to one of the newly formed de tachments defending himself against three Cossacks, who had surrounded and were threatening him. Mielencki rode up to the group, wrested the lance from the grasp of the Cossack nearest to him, ran him through, attacked the second, and put the third to flight, Cossack No. 2 following soon afterwards. The insurgents, who had witnessed Mielencki's ex ploit from a distance, now came up, asked Mielencki who he was, to possess such daring and such dex terity in the use of arms and yet not belong to the insurrection, and ultimately entreated him to take the command of their detachment. Mielencki would not hear of such u thing. He explained that he was married, and had not been married very long, and that it did not enter into his views to desert his family ; but no such excuses availed him. The in surrection claimed him for her own. Mielencki had full permission given him to write a letter to his wife apologising for not returning home so soon as he had originally intended, and then was hurried off to the theatre of war, where one cannot help thinking, from the zest with which he entered into the spirit of the performance, that he wished in his heart to be from the very first moment. According to the Gazeta Na, odowa of Lemberg, there were 13 officers and 140 soldiers killed, and 240 soldiers wounded in the railway accident with a purpose done not long since at Malkinia. Railway travelling is not a very agreeable mode of locomo tion just now on the Polish lines. It is bad enough if the engine-drivers and conductors are in the ser vice (as most of thorn notoriously are) of the Na tional Government. If they are not in its service the case is rather worse, as the rails are taken up without their knowledge. Then, instead of driving hero the insurgents Waiting , the train q uietl y to the place w are to fall upon the soldiers, they go on to the dangerous point at the usual pace, and the result is a shock from which all passengers suffer alike. Th e train, however , which is said to have been smashed to pieces at Malkin seems to have car ried soldiers alone.

A few grammes of its eggs, sent to the Imperial Acclimatation Society, were con fided to some of its members. Other eggs, placed in M. Guerin Meneville's hands by Dr. Blether, were distributed by that gentleman amongst agriculturists, who not belonging to the society, could not profit by the distribution made to its members. It is now possible to form some idea of the results obtainable from the oak silkworm, M. Guerin Meneville having presented to the Acad6mie des Sciences coccoons produced by worms hatched from the eggs that had been confided to him. Those eggs although hatched somewhat prematurely, gave caterpillars which have been successfully reared at divers and distant points of France—at Vincennes for instance, and at Toulon ; and, above all, the caterpillars feed and thrive on the leaves of the common oaks of the forest, Quercus pedun culata and sessiflora. But besides the Japanese silkworm of the oak, there is another oak silkworm obtained from the north of China. The introduction of this valuable species, which had been vainly attempted for the last ten years, is now in the way of being accomplished . Larvae, hatched on the 19th of May last, had already, at the time of writing, reached their second moult or change of skin without manifesting the slightest symptom of disease. Their co:our at first was deep black. They afterwards be came bright green, studded with orange and sky-blue tubercles. It their introduction succeed, it will supply, during the cotton dearth, the material for one mo re branch of industry.—Dickens's " All the Year :Round.'
