T,a black ami green.-Among the evidence
taken by a committee OF the House OF Com
mons to ascertain whether it is practicable to
Distinguish accurately the different denomina-
tons Of tea, is contained information relating
TO the tea plant differing from accounts hereto
fore given. According to the evidence OF the
Company : officers, the tea plant in China has
two distinct varieties, If not species, which res
pectiyely yield the black and the green teas
The tree, as is well known, is an evergreen,
growing To the height of five or six feet. The
VickingS Of the leaves begin in May, when the
plant is in full leaf, but ready TO shoot out other
leaves.
In the Jlack tea plant, the first shoot on the
bud coming out, then covered with hair, forms
the fine f,lrgry pekoe. \ few days more
growth makes the hair begin to fall of; the ledt
then expands, and becomes the biGc6 tcGfed pc
sgs. Some young shoots have fleShier and finer
leaves, which makes the SHchORg. The next
be>lcaveS make the cGmpOi, the next coRgoH,
and The refuse and inferior leaves the bOheG.-
These are the states in which the black teas are
collected by the tea farmers.
The varieties Of green tea appear to originate,
not from the stages Of picking, like the black.

100 DOLLARS REWARD.

IN Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
" burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession OF the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be-
tween fifty and sixty years Of age, with re-
markedly white hair; his stature stout and well
set. He wore brOWnish cOlored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years ofage, as well as is remembered; stout in
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high; has a drawing manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre of
the forehead, not covering more than the size of
four-pence- alfpenny. She is, as we'll as is
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
it is remarkable where it joins the rump There
may be dscerned in the film ofone of her eyes
an incison which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.
One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for
therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in
the proportion offour and two for the recovery of
either. JNO. TA1LOE LOMAA.
