LOMBARDY POPLAR.

This tree, which has become an orna.
ment to the city, we are sorry TO learn, is
suspected Of producing Worm Of the
most poisonous descripton-The subject,
We think, requires the most serious eva
mination; and for the purpose Of inviting
10 II, those, who are best qualified by pat
ticnlar study or experience, we state the
following fact, which has been communi.
Gated TO us by respectable cilizens:-
Yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock, an ex.
pertinent was made in Southwark, in the
presence of several gentlemen, with The
view of ascerainIng the effeG of The bite
or sting of one of these reptiles. A worm,
found in Lcmbardy Poplar, was placed
before Cat, rather more than half grown.
In attempting 10 smell, she was sung in
the nose. In about Is minutes, she faint
ed away, and remained apparently Iifeless
for S minutes; after which, she exhibited
marks of violent internal pains, and in As
minutes died. The worm is OF pale cho-
colate color: has fork at the extremity
of the tail, having from 10 to Ia feet. They
vary in size, some being but an inch others
four inches long. They are extremely
strong and animated. Arsenic, vitriol & a.
qua forts have been applied to them, with
out producing instant death. Some OF
these worms, we understand, have been
left with Mr. Peale, at The museum, for ex-
animation.
A gentleman who has made some OBJ
srrvatons on the subject, remarks that
they seldom appear in moist situations.
He is led to conclude that they are gene
rated in the roots Of the poplar, from
whence they travel in the night. They
have been found on fences in the neigh
borhopd Of The poplar. He suggests try.

root Of The tree,
A letter from capt. Kenney, Of tho sch'r
Farmer, from Laguira, says--May 8, on
my passage 10 Laguira, ofr Cape Ccdera,
was bro't to and taken on board The Bri-
tish frigate Jason, captain Cochran, who
treated me with great ciyili,y. June 8, on
nay homeward passage, was brought to
and carried on board the British friga,e
Franchise, captain Eastwood, where re-
ceiyed the same polite treatment.
A letter from a gentleman in Halifax, TO
,he owners Of the ship HerkImer, (ately
captured by the Leander of the Hooli)
dated Jane ~, says:--" The Hcrkimer
arrived here yesterday, and lays safety
moored under tie guns Of the caplors.
The captain and sunercargo have both
been examined on the standing interroga
tories, and | presume that he ship will
be lbtlled in the course of three or four
days"
