('FROM THE BOSTON ANTHOLOGTJ
SKETCH or TUB HAMMER Of CULTIVATING
ABB PRIPARI NO HRMp, IB RUSSIA.
Th c need is sown between the 20th of May
and the end of June, whentbe weather is warm.
Plains are the only grounds suitable for its culti
vation. In countries where it seldom rains, moist
lands are preferred, but not low meadow. The
soil should be free ,r>d black, with six or seven
Incites of mould. Other grounds will not do, es
pecially sandy soils. These will not repay the
•xpenoe of culture.
Upon a surface of 640 by 420 Eaglish feet, the
Russians tow five bushels and one tenth of seed.
After once plowing and harrowmg the land, a
sufficient quantity of good stable manure is spread
■pon it, and remains upon its surface for :>ix days.
The land is then again ploughed, sown and har
Towed. The same piece of ground is cultivated
every year in the same manner.
Ywo sorts of hemp grow in every field t the
Snale, which bears the seed, k the female, which
ban the as me stalk with the male, but its head is
round and without seed When thr female hemp
begins to ripen, its foliage becomes white (while
•hat of the male remains always green.) Even it
str.lk tak*:e .. greyish cast. The female stalks are
ail pulled up three weeks before the other, made
lato sheaves, and left standing against poles f ur
elayn. They are then opened ami spread upon
^vel ground, where they remain until they come
to maturity The hemp is then separated from
the stalk, and produces that qunVity with which
the Russians make coarse cloths Thm kind of
bemp they do not put under water
The male hemp is pulled about three weeks
after the female, as already observed. When pul
led, it is bound up in sheaves from five to six in-1
dies in diameter These are placed standing a.
gainst poles fixed in the ground. Thus they re
main at least two days ; after which, they beat
or thresh the sheaves to extract the seed, k beat
the roots to clear them of the soil. Hemp in this
state, is called in Russia, Molatehanka, i. e. hemp
beaten or threehed. In the Ukraine, where the
beat hemp is produced, they used to cut off from
the top of the stalk, between seven and ten inch
es, and the tame from the root. This they call
fiittclika, or cut hemp. Of late years, however,
the rich proprietors only continue this mode of
preparing hemp ; which thus prepared, is much
superior to that produced in the other provin
ccs.
Four days after the aeed is taken from the stalk,
it is put in soak in either still or running water,
immaterial which. The sheaves are placed in
crder by each other, and immersed under water
<of from seven to twelve feet depth, and confined
in a fixed stale by pieces of wood and by atones
BufficiePt to secure, them. In this situation they
remain about three weeks, if the water is warm ;
if cold, they continue five weeks At the end of
that time a small portion is taken up and dried in
or upon an oven, or in so.ne other way It is
Chen broken by hand, and if the hemp separates
"will) case, then the residue U taken from the wa
ter. If it docs not separate, it is suffered to re
main until ii does. When taken from the water
it is placed upon heated stones, or ovens to dry.
Tlte more dry the better ; because it is then
more easily detached from the pulp of the stalk.
Every year great quantities of the sheaves re
main until the spring, immersed in water, owing
to the severity of the cold. They are then taken
out and dried in the sun. For this purpose they
art placed in an upright posture against walls or
{fences The hemp taken out of the water before
the frost is called winter hemp. The other is
called spring hemp. The first is the strongest <
the other much weaker, but the last is more plea
sant tc the eye, on account of its being of a green
Silver cast.
Hemp dons not come to maturity under four
months In its first vegetation rains are very fa
vorable to its growth. As it approaches ripeness,
dry and warm weather are most propitious to it.
When the same year unites these two advants- j
ges, it is sure to excel both in quality and quan
tity.

ELECTRICAL EELS.
The rivers snd lakes of tiic lower provinces
of Venezuela and the Caraccas are lull of the E
lectrical Eels, (called Tremblacitler, by the Spa
niards) snd Anguilltt tremblantn by the French
colonists of Guyana. They are also found in the
fmsller lakes which are scattered at intervals in
the vast plains that lie between the Rivers Oro
cono, and Aj>ura. The ancient road which led
Heat Uriitica has been abandoned, on account of
the dangers run by those who crossed these wa
ters, in which the mules were suddenly struck
witn ah invisible commotion, rendered paralytic,
snd ofu-n drowned Very often the fisherman
received sn electric shock, the conductor of
which was his line.
The electrical eel is commonly six feet long
The Indians have so greats dread of this c roa
tore, and such repuj/iisnce to approach it while
living,that M de Humboldt had the utmost diffi
culty to obtain subjects for Ids experiments. He
waned several days lor this purpose, in the little
town of Cslapoxo, Living leam-d that here they
abottnde'* '1 he owner of the house where he
lodged exerted himself to procure some, hut in
vain. AtlcngtbMr.de Humboldt resolved to
repair to the spot, where these eels were met
with. Hera ocesrred » spectacle of the newest
description and most extraordinary kind. About
thirty mules and horses had botn quickly driven
ligetfeerYrom the neighboring slVannahs Where
they live almoat in a wild stale, and are so nu
merous that the price of any one is but seven
■hillings, when the proprietor can be ascertained.
The Indians by, driving them on nil sides furced
them to seek refuge in the water, where they
kept them by presenting harpoons filed at the
end of long canes, and by violent shoutings.——
The electrical eels roused by this tumult, rose to
the surface of the.water, and awinuniug about
like so many livid serpents pursued the luckless
quadrupeds, and gliding under tlu-ir bellies,
; communicated the most violent and rapid shocks.
The terrified horses, suffering agonies, raia ng
their manes, and Aashing fire from their strain*
ing eye-balls, rolling in pain, in vain endeavored
to escape. In less than five minutes two sunk
under water, and were drowned. Victory seem
ed now to declare for the gymniti. But tlieir
j activity begau to diminish i fatigued by the re
peated exertiocs of their nervous energy, they I
less frequently discharged tlieir electric nuid.— i
The boVses which had survived the early
attseks, gradually recovered their strength, 8c
St the end of c quarter of an hour the gymneti
retired from trie combat in such « state of lan
guor and exhaustion, that they were without dif
ficulty drawn to the shore by cords having little
hooks at tlieir ends.
A species of hemp, manufactured froirt the I
leaves of a particular kind of p«lm, which a- j
bbunds in Sierra Leone and its neighborhood,
has recently been sent to this country ; and be
ing made into cord, subjected to experiments
calculated to ascertain its strength, as compared
with the same length and weight of common
hempen cord, the result was very sa»isfactory, it
being found the hempen cord broke with a weight
of 43los three fifths, while the African cord did
j not give way to lesa weight than 5.31; is two fifths,
making a difference in favor of the latter of XOlbs.

Tins was an issue directed by tbe lord chan
cellor, to try whether the plaintiff was entitled
to freight on a cargo of sugar and rice from the
port of Charleston in. the United States of A
merica to the port of London, under the fol
lowing circumstances ——The. plaintiff and de
fendant are both citizens of America; the first
the captain of the Neptune, & the latter a mer
chant in New York. The defendant chartered
the ship to proceed to Charleston, and take in a
cargo of sugar and rice, and from thence to pro.
ceed either to Tonningen, Amsterdam or Rot
terdam. She was taken at sea by one of his
Majesty’s cruizers and sent into Plymouth, but
was afterwards released. When the ship left
the United States, neither of tbe parties were
aware of the orders in council of this country,
or the subsequent decree of France ■ ... -.The
plaintiff on being made acquainted with the na
ture of them applied to the agents of the drfen
dant in Lqndon for their advice It was just
after tbe bombardment of Copenhagen which
made all the ports of the Baltic suspicious of ad
mitting vessels from England into their harbors.
Tbe agents recommended him to wait and try to
get a license from this Government to go
to Rotterdam. After having delayed some
time without being able to get a licence, he was
ordered by the agents to proceed to Rotterdam
He took advice and was firmly persuaded that
if h« did, his ship would be confiscated—a cir
cular letter from the American Consul in Ham
burgh confirmed that opinion He was then
advased to take advantage of tbe order of coun
cil which directs that all neutrals should touch
at a British port, enter her cargo and pay duty
before she proceeded to tbe harbors of the ene
my, he accordingly entered his cargo and wrote
i to his owners in America to know how to pro
I ceed. For the safety of the cargo he deposi
I ted the sugar in the stores of the West-India
docks and ths rice in that of the London docks.
The moment the cargo was landed, the agents
for the defendant served the plaintiff with no
tice to proceed to Tonningen, and on the day
following served him with a bill in Chancery
to get possession of the cargo which was or
dered to them by the lord Chancellor, he di
recting the present issue for a jury to deter
mine whether the plaintiff was or was not enti
tled to freight.
Lord Ellenborough observed,it was very clear
that the plaintiff was not entitled to freight, as
the terms of the charter deed had not been
fulfilled by him ; it might be severe but when
two' great nations were at war,those who wish
to accumulate wealth by their calamities must
run a risk and should not complain that they
suffered a little by tbe nature of the warfare.
Yerdict for the defendant.
FREE MASONRY. |
Edinburck, July 9.
On Saturday last the Court of Sessions (Se
cond Division) pronounced judgment in the ac
tions which have been for some time in depen
dence, between the master and other office
bearers of the Cannongate, Kilwinning and se
veral other Lodges in Edinburgh, holding of the
Grand Lodge, and some persons who had for
merly been themselves of these Lodges, but had
been expelled by a sentence of the Grand
Lodge
As the applications were faade by the office
bearers for themselves and the other legal mem
bers, the court considered, that Mason Lodges,
not being corporate bodies, could not sue oy
their office-bearers, and therefore pronounced a
judgment which in respect of the surpenders
insisting, in tfie character of office-bearers of a
self constituted society not intitlcd to the privile
ges of a corporation, repelled the reasons of Sus
pension and refused an interdict.
But at the same lima the court did not seem
to doubt that if actions were brought by tbe in
dividuals of the above Lodges who adhered to
the Grand Lodge, they would be entitled to Uie
exclusive possession oi the charters lodge-rooms,
and oilier properly belonging to the several lod
gas.
Boston, Oct. 4.
The proprietor of the Diving Bell, will
to morrow morning, (wind Hud weather per-1

hancock’s wharf to Fort Independence.
He will descend at 8 A M. and proceed to
the Fort, where he will ii»e and lake some
refreshments. After which he will again
immerge, and return as he went, on the bot
tom of the channel, reaching Boston about
2 P. M. A distinguished gentleman, rest.,
dent in town, has proposed to accompany
him. The reward to the proprietor of this
ingenious and important invention, and his
assistants, will depend on voluntary liberali
ty. Subscription papers will be- left at the
Custom House, and at the respective Insur
ance Offices. By this inveniion, any thing
can, at any time, be obtained from the but.

' Boston has gained about one third on its
population of 1800, in the subsequent ten
years ; during the same period oi time, it
has gained something less than one fourth
of its ftrenent population. Proceeding in
this ratio, it will double itself in 30 years.—
The numerical gain is 8,297 Inhabitants.
