Itrican Colony at UH6ertorce, in Uhher Candda.-1his colony was established in the early part ot 1880, by colored people, emi- grating from Ohio, who were obliged to seek settlement elsewhere in conscouence of law in that State, which took effect the pre- ceding June, bordering every colored person in that State not possessing a certain amount ot property therein named, or giving security, to remove out of the State, under the penalty of being sold as slaves"
 The colony originally consisted of about 200 persons, who purchased 800 acres of the Canada company, on which the settlement has been made; and on which they erected 25 log houses. During the past year 1900 per sons Jolned the settlement; and during the spring tqrty families, consisting of upwards ff 200 persons, emigrated there from the city ot New-York-besides others from different parts of the United States. The number of emigrants arriving at the African settlement are constantly increasing. The colony has recently purchased from the Canada Com ptny 200o additional acres to meet the wants of the increasing population
 The number of persons in the settlement at present exceeds POGO, and there are l3O| log houses. Timber has been cleared off of 300 acres cf land, $50 of which is under cul- t'Vation. The greater part of the emigrants rom this city, and these that have lately ar rved from other places, have not brought with them any means of subsistence .and are dependent upon charitable aid; few hundred dollars would relieve their wants, cause them to he permanently Settifd in the colony. and consequently prevent their return to New York.

 "The ancients paid particular attention to the culture of flowers. They were in great request at the entertainments of the wealthy, for adorning the apartments, as well as the participants of the feast; they were placed upon the tonbs of the illustrious and beloved, to operpetuate the pleasing, yet mournful re- miniscence of their virtues; they formed the distinguished insignia If many of the divin- ties of mythology; they glitter as gems in the diadems of the seasons, and constitute the mystical language of poetry.
 "We are informed that Descartes prose cuted, with equal ardor, astronomy and the culture of flowers, and often retired from his celestial observations to study the sleep and Iteration of his plants, before the rising of the sun. The great Condo, returning from the dangers and glores of the battlefield, devo- ted his leisure hours to the cultivation of his flower gardcn; and so enamoured was Lord Bacon with these silent, eloquent soothing companions, that the vase of flowers was dai- ly renewed upon his table, while composing the volume of his sublime philosophy"

Hus6and and Wif.-We give the follow ing opinion of the chief justice of Upper Can ada, as reported by him in the Kingston Chro- nicle. It was delivered at the Middle Dis trict Assizes, on the trial of Hawley vs. Ham. The Plaintiffs daughter left the defendant, her husband, in consequence of his having beaten her with horsewhip.
 "His lordship stated the law of the case, and said that to maintain an action of this kind, it was necessary to prove that the de- fendant's conduct had been such as to render her departure necessary: that the question now was, how far this had been the case. It was true, it appeared in evidence, that chas- tsement had taken place; but, however un- gallant such conduct might be considered, yet man had right to chastise his wife mode rateiy-and to warrant her leaving her hus- band, the chastisement must be such as to

POLITICAL VARIETY.
From The .Naiional ntelligeneer.

The long article which we copy from the

stances which warrant US, If not to lmpute
il 10 the Executive, at least TO consider It as
authorized By him.
The dissolution of the late CablnetIti is now

the act of the President, and did not take
place in consequence Of the letter OF Mr..
Van Buren, to the President, resIgnins his
Office, or Of that OF Mr.. Eaton, but ia conse-
qusncs Of the deliberate determination OF the
President himself II was no wonder that
Mr.. Van Buren's letter was an enigma to the
PablIc, or that Mr.. lngham was slow TO com
prebend how the reason alleged for the De-
cretary of States resignation could affect
him. The writer Of the Globe says--''When
s.this issue was made (by Mr.. Calhoun's APP
"peaD with himself personally, the President
nfound his Cabinet divided; and an entire
''re organization was determined upon
This determination, therefore, must have
been made about the time that Congress adj
iourned, and Of course long before the date
of the resignation OF Mr.. Van Buren, as the
alternative 10 "seIf Acknowledgement" The
determination of the President does not APP
pear 70 us an unreasonable one But IL must
be confessed thatthe machinery contrived for
its execution has unfortunately operated upon
its inventor, whoever he may have been.
II can hardly be bat we shall hear from
MIR. lngham again; for the letter published

the President h,mself does not on that ac-
count lose the char ae;cr of being the act Of

that Colonel Johnson never did make such
communication TO Messrs. ingham, Berrien
