Cultivation of Indigo. indigo, staple
 valuable of its products, and one of the
 most profitable of cultivation i'll all Hindos-
 tan, is yielded by the Indigofera tinctoria 1;
 and 1t Is in that country so lucrative, be- cause an immense extent of land Is reqnir- ed to produce but moderate bulk of the dye--because labor and land are cheaper here than any where else and because the raising of the plant and its manufacture can be carried on even without the aid of house. The first step in its cultivation Is to render the ground, which should s,a fi- ble and rich, perfectly free from weeds, and dry, if naturally moist. The seeds are then sown in narrow drills, about a foot apart. The rainy season must be chosen for sowing otherwise, If the seed is depos- ited in dry soil, Il heats, corrupts, and is lost. The crop, being kept free from weeds, is fit for cutting in about two or three months, and this may be repeated in rainy seasons every six weeks. The plants must not be allowed to come into fl ,wer as the leaves. in that case, become dry and hard, and .he indigo pgodaeed Is of less value nor must they be cut in dry weather, 1 otherwise they will not spring again. A crop generally lasts twoyears. Being cot, {, the herb Is first steeped in vat, til Il be- comes maceraied, and hts parted with its

A few moments after he re-entered, with huge block upon his shoulders, as heavy as he could well stagger under; his cOuntenance was immoyeable-agai the good people stared. aud half rose from their seats, with their books in their hands. Atlength he placed the block in the very centre of tho principal passage, and seated himself upon Ii. Then, for the first time, ihe reproach was felt! Every pew door inthe house was instantly flung open But4no-the stranger was a gentleman-he came not there for disturbanre-he moved not smiled not i; but preserved the utmost decorum until the service was concluded, when he deliberate- | y shoudered his block, and to the same slow step, bore it of, and replaced 1t where he had found Il.

Betore il is perfectly dry, it Is cut into small pieces of an inch square and finally packed into boxes or sewn up in bags for sale. Indigo was not extensively cultivated in India be- fore the British settlements were formed there; its profits were, at first, so consid- erable, that, as in similar cases, its cul- lure was carried too far, and the market was overglutted with the commodity. The indigo Is one of the most preearious of 0ri- ental crops; being liable to be destroyedhy haii storms, which do comparatively little in- jury to the sugar plants. European skill applied to Its management for nearly fifty years. What was manufactured by the natives of India, prior to that time, was trash, unfit for the European market, then almost wholly supplied hy South America, which furnished England with about ,20o,- ooolb weight. There are at present, in Bengal, 309 manufactories of indigo for exportation, of which 37 only are conduct ed by natives, and these in imitation of the E G<Nlfp6du ltlOSSSS.t lHdidii1i bcNCf~ CT, cannot even initiate US to. any advan- tage, with so many examples before them, and ID full possession of all the land, to the complete exclusion of their competitors :; for the indigo thus prepared Is full fifteen per cent lower in value than that nianui;ie- tmed by Europeans; and as 10 indigo made by the old native process, it Is still wholly unfit for the foreign market; and even whea e-manlfacturod by Europeans, which is
 sometimes done, It is still, from the deteri- ,, oration 1t has undergone in their hands, q
 very inferior commodity. fhe average
 yearly quantity of indigo produced for some
 time back in ihe British dominions in India,
 has ranged from 8,5o0,0oobs to 9,000,-
 o0olhs weight, and in value from 2,7Oo.

 English GunS.-Thefe IS a peculiar malleability about our English iron that is not to be met with Tn any other quarter of the globe, and consequently the pinnacle ol perfection 10 which our gnn-nakers have arrived is unattainable by inc foreign man. ufacturers. A curious, and not uninterest- ing, exempliGcation came under my knowl-. edge about three years ago. 4 gentleman connected with a highly respectable firm in the gun trade, at Birmingham, was sum moned to attend board, or more properly speaking, a committee, composed of some of the Magi in Leadenllal street, respect- ing contract for guns, to be shipped to their possessions in the East. The pses- dent oi this said committee was Captain M, who was the spokesman of the conclave,- and after some barlefing and hig glng, as to ,he price, &c., the contract Was agreed upon. Ks is customary on these occasions, several patterns of guns were produced before thiS board of tea dealers. and from divers samples handed to the would be contractor, one single bar relied gun was selected as he ''ne plus ultra" of perfection. Mr. ". D.. the individual in question, was rather tauntingly asked by Capt. M -, if he could make such d barrel as the one which adorned the gun produced; modest, yet firm, affirma- sion was the reply. Now it so happen- ed that this was a noted tool, the barrel whereof was of Damascus make. A bonus of ten pounds was promised. If Mir. W. D., the contractoa. would produce a barrel of English manHHdcTare, and of the same weight aud caiibre, which would stand the test of trial, or proof. against it. The offer was boldly and eagerly accepted b, the contracting party, aaN q day Of trial ap- pointed ln the East tadia Company ground. Al the same spnr, Mr. ". |
