Florida 1T appears that this new
territory, as it becomes better known
is found to possess advantages over some
of the adjacent countries. A writer in
the Richmond Compiler, says that many
enterprisng persons from Alabama have
emigrated thither, attracted by the pros
pect of health and wealth. A town is
to be laid off next autumn on a high
bluff on the Appalochicola, eight miles
below the junction OF the Catsahouchle
and Flint rivers, which will command
much trade; fine site and good sup
ply of water from three springs. the
opposite shore will afford room for plan
tstions on the low grounds, mile and
a half wide. The climate has been
healthy during the four years that the
place has been inhabited. and the heat
of summer is much mitigated by the sea
breezes, which begin at S A. NJ. and
generally keep the thermometer down
to 500 Alligators and Musquetoes are
found in abundance. There are oys
ters on the coast, and an abundance Of
wild fowl and fish in the numerous
ponds and springs; aud the neighbor-
hood is well supplied with living water,
formed by streams which rise in the
back country, afterwards striking in the
crevices Of the rocks, aud resppearing
below. The largest lake is four miles
from Tallahassee II is thirty miles long,
eight miles broad, and like the others,
has q running outlet.
Emigration 10 y4merica.--The multi
tude OF emigranis which have arrived
and are to be expected from Great Brit
ain this year, are sufficient to excite
some anxiety. A Nova Scotia paper
expresses much alarm on the subject;
and we observe the article copied in a
Canadian journal. as the prospect Of
such large importation of poor people
is sufficient to excite solieitude. The
Edinburgh Review apportions TO Nova
Scotia $4,000 emigrants. Suppose
these says Halifax paper, aye OF

WHAT RATIo OF SLEEP DOES NATURE REQUIRE
Answer--Keep yourself actively employed until
You feel fatgued; and then sleep until you feel
refreshed, whether it require 4, s, 8 hours, or
any nameablc time. For if you retire before nature
requires repose, you will dream yourself fatigued 1t
must be evident therefore, that the time requisite
for sleep, is the time required by nature, without
ference to its length or shorness to any arbitrary
rules.-B0s. GoS.
