sPMany persons have been puzzled to
find out why such an immense amount of
money has been spent during the Florida
war They seem to have forgotten that in
addition to whole armies of steamboat pro-
prietors, and contractors, who expect TO
make large fortunes out of the Govern
ment, the militia companies which volun-
teer in this war, are all composed of mar
vellous proper men, who are accustomed
not only to the necessaries, but the luxu-

FIVE DAYS LATER FRoM EuRorE.

FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EURoPE. BY
the Siddons at New York from Liverpool,
dates to the 10th June have been received.
The Royal William was expected to
make the passage to New York much
quicker than the Great Western. In COM
ing round from London, she ran 45 miles
in hours. She also ran the whole dis
lance 26O miles % hours.
Another Steam Ship the Tiger was late
lately launched She is ofenormous size +,
and is expected to excel in speed any boat
in the British waters.
Steam Navigation is at present all the
rage in England; in addition to lines to the
United States and the West Indies, line
of steam packets from London to Brazil is
to be established. 1t was thought tina, the
Royal William, might delay her departure
until the arrival of the Western. In that
case, our merchants will receive answers
to their letters written only 80 DAYS before.
The establishment of steam navigation
between England and America, will have
the effect of adding $50, 900 900 to the
capital employed in the trade of the two
countries, arising from the rapidity of the
returns of that capital, and the speedy
transmissons of intelligence. 1t may well
be considered therefore, as the greatest
improvement of the age.
The Swiss merchants, who have been
accustomed TO transmit their goods to this
country via Havre, are now making ar
rangements to ship by way of London and
Bristol This will of course stimulate the
merchants of Paris and Havre, and we
may therefore expect in less than a year to
behold French steamers in our waters

Spain and Italy must follow. The land of

experiments, TO business could be safer
or more lucrative.
IL is well known that the beet lou-
rishes in our climate, and that our soil
is most favorable to its growth. Unlike
most other vegetables, this root enrich
es the land, and after the first care of
ploughing and wedding is bestowed,
will prosper with very little attention.
When this subject was under considera-
ton before the British House of Com
mons, it appeared on satisfactory tcsti-
mony, that in certain spots where the
soil was rich and recently drained,
eighty tons were raised to the acre.
This is just the kind Of land which
abounds in the vicinity of water cour-
SEES in the West. The fertile bottoms
which belong to all the tributaries of
the Mississippi present the best possible
ground. for sowing the beet. Most pro-
badly the average crop here would
double that in France.
For the manufacture of beet sugar
to any extent, every facility is at hand.
The mode Of conducting the process
has been the subject Of examination
by Mr.. Ronaldson, an enterprising and
liberal citizen of Philadelphia. From
the sowing of the Disqualification of the
sugar, he has acquired ample know
ledge; and his report is highly cncou-
raging to all who may take interest in
the matter. The entire success of the
efforts abroad, leaves not doubt of
equally prosperous results of similar
attempts in this country. The imme-
date advantage of enduring this root
are briefly summed in these:-
The labor of preparing the ground
is inconsiderable, and lessons with every
crop. The soil is enriched, and yields
more of the beet than of any other
product. The pumice is superior food
for stock, and there is consequently no
loss of the material. In raising the beet
there is greater certainty than with the
cane. The sugar is beautiful, and the
quality corresponds with disappearance.
It thus appears in every point of
view, most desirable that capitalists
and farmers should bestow serious at
tention on this subject. II is princi-
pie of political economy that, as far as
possible, every State should meet the
wants of the people by the products of
its own territory. Nothing should be
imported, which can be obtained by
home industry at equal cost. In this
instance, the balance is in favor>of ma
eufacturing an article Of vast consump-
ton, which can only be obtained from
other markets at a considerable ad-
vance on the estimated price here. If
n few liberal individuals will set the ex-
ample by raising the beet in this neigh
borhood, and erecting a single manu-
factory, there can be no doubt thatin a |
very few years the experiment will be
in general and successful operation
through the western country,-Cyncin.

On the 18th uIt. the British batteries
and two vessels moored above commenced
amost terrible fire OH the Island, which last
ed for about four hours, but did very little
damage. Some accounts report one life

killed. The return fire of the Patriots, it
is probable was alike Intellectual, although
some statements tell Of British loss of
sixteen.
At the latest datest nothing definite had
been learned of the further Patriot move
ments after their departure from Navy Is
land, although from every thing that could
be ascertained, especially as they were
now for the most part without arms, it
would seem that each one was about to be-
take himself again to the walks of private
life, no more to plot the agitation of nations
or the overthrow of governments.
Many, however, still contend that al
though they have abandoned their position
at Navy Island, they have not abandoned
their intention of invading Canada, and
that they purpose rallying at some other
point. The neXtnews from the North will
determine their destination.

REMEDY FOR LAMENEss IN HORSES.

Mr.. Scwall, of the Veterinary Col
lege, stated his having discovered a me-
thod of curing horses, which are lame
in the forfeit. II occurred to him, that
this lameness might originate in the
nerves of the foot, near the hoof; and
in consequence he Immediately ampu-
tated about an inch Of the diseased
nerve, taking the usual precaution of
guarding the arteries, and passing liga-
lures, &c. By this means the animal
was instantly relieved from pain, and
the lameness perfectly cured.
