public opinion does not set him down as a

auxiliary of absolute power, which is

MATTHEWS AT HoME.O


The London Courier mentions that
Matthews came out with his American
Budget at the Opera House, London, on
the 25th March, before full and fash
lonable company. The prospect of
seeing broad caricature of Brother
Jonathan, appears to have raised the
curiosity of John Bull, TO the highest
pitch, and according to the Courier, he
was very much gratifed, and gave " the
actor of all work." warm, loud and long
apPlauses. Matthews told about com
ing here during the fever, going to Ho-
boken and New Brunswck-meeting
with spendthrift and bis fat cousin
proceeding to Bristol and Baltimore
seeing major, judge, and store
keePer--appearing at Bal.imore-visit-
ing Washington, Phladelphia,the steam
boats, and getting back to New York,
after the black frost had killed the fe-
ver-going TO the negro theatre--see-
ing an American servant--going to Bos-
ton and visiting Bunker's Hill; and here
he is said to repeat the two following
liesy giving them as records from two
monuments on Bunker's Kill
LIST. This monument was built of brick
Because the Americans did the English lick
I'd. S This monument was built of stone
Because Lord North wouldn't leave Ameri-
ca alone.''
AT and about Boston he meets with
sundry broad Yankees who guess terri
bly--witnesses several displays of "ruf-
fan independence" at an American cleo
tion-falls in with a fat fddling negro,
and then proceeds TO Worcester, where
dinner is given TO Gen. Jackson, at
which a French renegade roars dog
gecel about:
&C Oh the famous General jackson,
Whom the English turned their backs on" sc
He then falls in with an English far
nasr, who relates his losses and resolves
TO gang back TO YoIkshire-after which
he delights {" Macmillan the niger" by
his ventriloquism, and at last sets sail
for England.
10 the after piece, he personates a
hentucKy captain ana coOler, nd
ding negro, Jonathan w. Monsieur
Captain, MIR. O'Sullivan, and Mangle-
wurzel. The plot lies 10 contention
among all, except the negro, for the
hand of the lady /; and the Irishman at
last carries her off in sledge drawn
by pony.
The whole concern was doubtless
very fine, and must have made John
Bull shake his old fai sides most heartily
But still there was grand omission
Matthews ought TO have given sketch
Cfan English caricaturist going to Bos-
ton, of being criticised, exposed, and
laughed at by Buckingham-of prose
cutting him for libel, then of dropping
the action, of leaving the costs or the
lawyer unpaid, and "all that sort Of
thing" Statesman.

"Those traits in the character OF
Ferdinand which we have placed before

FRulT TREEs.-.The growth of weeds
round fruit trees recently transplanted,
does them great injury, and diminishes
their fruit in size and quality. Sonnini
in his Bibliotheque Phisc- Economique
states that TO prevent this, the Germans
spread on the ground, round the fresh
transplanted trees, as far as the roots
extend, the refuse stalks of fax, after
the itrous part has been separated.
This gives them surprising vigour. No
weeds will grow under fax refuse, and
the earth remains fresh and loose. Old
trees, treated in the same manner, when
languishing in an orchard, will recover
and push out vigorous shoots.
