SPUN YARN,

CULTIVATION OF ToBAcco.- The rage
for Tobacco planted in Ireland almost
exceeds belief. We have konwn some
acres ofpotatoes in very forward state
dug up and destroyed for the purpose Of
substituting this new conner This is not,
how ever, so much to be wondered at, as
we are assured, the latter produces from
Gl00 to Gi50 per acre; but there is consi-
derable trouble and expense, as well as
risk, attending the cultivation. The num-
Der Of growers in this county is much
greater than it was last year, and there is
no doubt it would have been considerably
increased if the process Of saving the To-
bacco has been more generally understood
Before the young plant has taken root
various methods are resorted to ia order
to protect it from the sun.-Some use pa.
per, others oyster shells, but principally a.
bout Enniscorthy small flower pots are
used, wbichare purchased an one pounr
thousand. There are about $3.50 plan
to an acre. They are selling at from 1.
to Is per hundred.-[WexloEd Herald

PUBLIC SCHOOLS. twenty-five years ago there
were but three public grammar and writing
schools in this city, Now there are eight Of
theSe seminaries, and between fifty and sixty
pn0,c primary schools. These latter receive
chlloreh between the ages of four and seven
years and the former from seven to fourteen
resides these, there isa Latin school, an Eng
i'sh classical school, and schools for colored
cnildren%all maintained at the public expense
Connecting with these the infant schools
founded and supported by the munifcence of
individuals, into which children are received
at eighteen months old, it will be seen that
in this city the means, of education are sup
piled TO the children of poor as well az the
rich, from infancy to that period of youth when
they are of age to enter into some one Of the
busy vocations of life, TO pursue their studies
at one or the other Of our colleges No small
portion of the city taxes are appropriated to
this branch of expenditure, and wo verify be-
lieve no portion is more cheerfullv paid by the
cltizcns--Our scholars have earned for them
selves high reputation, and for our city a
character which it will retain so long as her
citizens display the ,ame zeal and continue to
feel the same interest in the subject of educa
ton, which has so eminently distinguish ed
them for years past, [Bo,ton pspcrl

NAPOLEON. Davids best performances in nor
trait painting the numerous like. ,sses of his
imperial patron. We have seen the ORIGINAL
sketch for one Of these, which indeed was never
afterwards touched, taken during the last few
hours of undiminished power possessed by Ma
poleon in Paris. The greater part of the prece-
ding day and night had been spent in arranging
the final operations of the campaign which tor
minated i'm the battle of Waterloo. When now
past midnight, instead Of retiring to repose, the
Emperor sent for David, to whom he had prom
Used to sit, and was in waiting in an apartment
ofthe Tuilleries. "AIy friend" said Napoleon
to the artist, on entering, I" there are vet some
hours till four, when we arc finally TO review
the dcfenccs of tho capital: in the mean time
faites rotrc possiJte-(do your utmost ) while
read these dispatches" But exhausted nature
could hold out no longer; the paper dropt from
the nerveless hand, and Napoleon sunk to sleep
In this attitude the painter has represented him
The pale and lofty forehead, the care worn fea-
lures, the relaxed expression, the very accom-
panlments wear an impress inexpiessibly tender
and melancholy. With the dawn, Napoleon a.
woke. and springing to his feet, was about to adj
dress David, when taper just expiring in the
socket arrested his eye. Folding his arms ON
his breast, usual posture of thought, he con-
tempated in silence its dying struggles When
with the last CLEAN, the rays Of the morning
sun penetrated through the half:closed window
curtains. "Weie supcrstitious," said Napo-
leon, faint smile playing about his beautiful
mouth, g the first object on which my sight has
rested this day might be deemed ominous - b,t
pointing to the rising sun ''the augury is
donbtful-at least, the prayer of the Grecian
hero will be accorded we shall perish in light"

lpower which they already hold-ana if Judges

what evidence have we that they will not fortify
their own power, instead of weakening it, II is

may strengthen the powers OF the Church-And
why, may ii be said, exclude the wisdom Of the
Judges from the Convention. because they might
strengthen the power Of the Court. Let The pSo-

it is most likely they will make Consti,uton that
