TUB OAR AND TUX ASH LEAF.—A correspon-
dent sends us the following :—" Souse observers of na-
ture have broached the theory, that the future character
of the summer is indicated by the relative periods at
which the oak and the ash put forth their leaves in
spring. If the oak has the start a dry summer may be
expected—if the ash is much ahead, wet weather is to
predominate. Now this season the oak is so far ahead
as to test the matter, and if the theory is well founded,
the summer should be very dry ; if it prove so, the sub
ject will deserve more particular attention, and may be
useful in many ways hereafter. In connexion with the
foregoing, it may be observed that a dry summer is ge•
nerally productive of a good crop of wheat ; it prevents
the plant from exhausting itself in straw, and is propi-
tious to the blooming and kearning process, and of course
indispensable to its being well harvested. It produced
an excellent crop last year, and greatly contributed to the
important reduction of price.—W. C.-29, 5 mo., 1848."

IMPORTATION OF ARMS.—A vessel arrived in the
river from Gibraltar has brought several packages of
muskets, consigned to a foreign house in the metro-
polis. As the importation of foreign arms into this
country totally prohibited they have not been delivered
to the but have been landed under det,ntion,arties,
subject to the directions of the Government authorities
is the matter.
