FOREST TREES.

There are trees in every American forest that are seldom
transplanted into cultivated grounds, which, if they were exotics,
would be cultivated with great expense and care. The sassafras
is almost unknown in gardens, and yet, in shape, deep glossy
green of the leaf, and aromatic qualities, is not inferior to the
orange. and has, moreover, the advantage in being of more
rapid growth. It is of a growth nearly as rapid as the Lom-
bardy poplar, which, after a forced popularity, is now deemed
the meanest of all trees—yet, who can find a grove of sassa-
fras, while there are so many tasteless avenues of poplar.
But it is a trait in our patriotism to favour foreign production s,
and neglect better that we have at home. The principle ex-
tec,is wider than to include trees—we dare not admire or
praise a book, till it has been in Europe. Another
neglected tree or shrub is the Srutace , a beautiful plant in
shape, leaf, and berry—in summer, the leaf is grecs, and waves upon
its peculiar stem, well contrasted with its crimson berries ; when
the first breath of autumn comes, the whole bush is of a colour
without a paralleL The maple, the ask and the spoenwood (we
know no other name for the WO must be sought in forests, for sel-

THE TURF.

TATTERSALL'S

Owing to the number of betting men at the II:tie:to:I •
attendance yesterday was scanty, oor was the busintss of .xy
interest or importance. Aaron's success at Brighton has had the
natural effect of placing him at the head of the betting list fat t,`%.
Goodwood, nor can it be denied that, spite of his temper, his ran
ning this year makes him a dangerous horse to stand against. A:
Goodwood, however, he falls in with better company. It is said
that his Majesty has directed that Fleur de lii., the Colonel, and
Zinganee, shall go to Goodwood, and all start for the Cup. It ht
not likely that there will be any Great St. Leger betting till nest
week, when most of the principal speculators will Ittet at We York
August Races.

NEWLY DISCOVERED SUBTERRANEOUS CAVERN.

Among the many wonderful caverns inDerbysbire, none seem, for
extent and internal beauty, more to merit the attention of the cu.
dons observer of the hidden works of nature in her wild recesses.
than the one which las been recently explored. It cannot consist-
ently be said that this cavern is newly discoveted, as the mouth hap
been seen a considerable number of years by the shepherds visiting
the mountains, but none before ever ventured to search into it.
However, on the 10th instant, having been previously informed of
the exact situation of the entrance, a number of persons determined,
if possible, to explore it; and having provided themselves with every
requisite, they arrived at the mouth, which, by its terrific appear.
ance, almost daunted the courage of the most resolute. The en.
trance to the first landing is by • perpendicular descent of about
five yards, when they again made a similar fall of four yards,
to the second landing; the day disappearing they lighted
their flambeaux and candles, and proceeded down a steep
descent in a westerly direction. The sides and roof in
this part arc composed of huge masses of rock, so regularly and
compactly united, that it might be the work of an architect ; and
after going through innumerable chambers, which, for extent and
loftiness of the roof, are not inferior to the most celebrated in Peak's
Hole, they discovered an opening in the floor, through which they
with difficulty descended, and found themselves in a part of the ca-
vern which runs in a direction exactly parallel with the part above.
Here the largest chamber they had gone through, seemed only as
the portico to this amazing cavern ; the eye could sanely reach the
lofty and noble ceiling, the sides and floor of which were regularly
formed of immense masses of solid rock. As they proceeded further
in this subterraneous abode, they passed through many rooms little
inferior to the former; in this part of the cavern there is a
kind of soft stone, something between rotten stone and ful-
ler's earth. But the lights being nearly consumed, they, with-
out any delay, began to retrace their steps, for it woeM be im-
possible for any person to find his way beck without light, owing to
the innumerable openings branching out in every direction, as it
was with difficulty the party could find their way out, though each
had • light in his hand. Having attained the surface,they found they
bad been under (mundane bout and 15 minutes, the whaled which
time had been taken up in going through the coma. It is more than
probable that dies is • gnat part yet undiscovered, for by every
appearance they had not gone through the half, as there were so
many crevices. Linder Low cavern is situated about a mile nosh.
west of the Downfall, on the Scout. It is the opinion of several
persons well acquainted with the strata of the rock, that ere-fourth
of tbe hills in this part are subtaraneous ; and with little exertion
MOM more extensive than any yet discovered in Derbyshire, would
be found so nisi. •
