the Cochiueal, has produced to us upwards
Of one .thoustnd insects Of the real Cochi.

ara left at DR.. Moscr's, in Broad street for
the inspection Of the curious and well wish

there have an opportunity of contrasting
these with the Mexico Cochineal and see
how far they surpass it in beauty of colour.
We have further the satisfaction of infor-

The Prickly Pear. on which the aCochi-
neal subsists, is found in various parts OF
South Carolina, near the sea, where anci-
emily the SpaniarGs maintained for tificati-.
oas. the plant is supposed to have been
brought from Mexico but the Carolnian
insect is said to surpass the Mexican in
beauty of colour. The Chochineal is an
article OF great profit in Mexico, whence it
is exported to the value Of millions Of dol.
lars. There appears no room 70 doubt,
that its cultivation will be extended so as
to give our country another precious arti-
Gle Cor exchange with the rest Of the

ScandaIous Proceedings.

The Governor Of Maryland,l Ivlight]
has had the eifrontery 10 grant par
den and release from confinement, of
those Irish renegadoes, who were sem
fenced to 6ne and imprisonment for
tar and feathering an innocent citizen
sometime since in Baltimore. Lam
guage is inadequate to express the in
dignation which good men should feel
towards this wretch, clothed with au-
,hority, In thus interposing between
the injured laws and these vile rioters.
The Baltimore Republican says, re-
al estate will depreciate 20 per cent. in
that city, as all will endeavor to aban-
don place where the laws are no pro-
lecuon to the innocent.
