| The government Of Peru is at present in u,
hands of a woman. Madame Gamarra is "'
male Bonaparte aud though her husband is nora
inaIly the head of the republic, she is the re-
sovereign. 1t was owing to her energy that n
rose from the ranks OF the army, common sc
der, to his present rank. 1t is said that she nc {
er permits any subject, pertaining to the go
eminent, to be discussed even in prIvy coupe
without her presence; and she always acco mpa
MES the President on his official visits, espec ia
those made 10 foreign digni,aries. Gen. Gamar
ra made a visit, to squadron, accompanied by
the different ministers of department. Madame
Gamarra of course with him. Alter the customa
~ statutes, they entered the commodore's cabin
where refreshments were offered, and the usua
compliments exchanged When Madam Gamar
ra thought they had remained a sufficient length
of time, she rose, looked around her with the all
of empress, and utterIng the single wore
"yamosr' left the cabin, the others following hei
out like a pack Of sheep following their leader.
She ALWAYS pistols and dirk, and is said &c
be an excellent shot. Not long since, finding
some fault with the police and discipline of one
of the regiments of the army, she sent for the
colonel commanding it, and reprmanded him IN
manner to which he did not feel inclined to sub
nit, especially from woman; he replied that he
would hold himself respon sible to the President
but not to the Presidents wife. He soon
taught, however, whom he had to deal with; for
to silence. and, at the same time, presenting a
pistol, told him that if he uttered another word
of insolence. she would drive the bullet through
his head.-Some say that her husband has more
than once experienced such a threat; but we all
know the world is addicted to scandal
THE ToMATo.-A correspondent at Piqua,
Ohio, wishes TO know how to cultivate the toma-
to. There are few plants cultivated in the gar
den that are SO little INJURED by or insects
as the tomato. and none that bear ransplantng
better.-It is very desirable to have the fruit
ripen early possible. To have them early
they should be planted in a hotbed, three weeks
before the weather would allow their growth in
open air. Those who have not hot beds may SOW

kept in a warm situation until they have come
up, after which they may be exposed to the light
by placing them in windows, OF they may be set

night. By this method plants may be brought
forward so to produce fruit two weeks earlier
han when seeds are sown in open ground. w hen
they should be set on borders, or
1ear fences, preferring a southern aspect for
hose intended for the table first. They should
nave strong brush set near them, after the man

LATED EPON lREl ANN


BY the arrival Of tho ship Caledonia, from Liv.
pool via Londonderry, papers have been received
at our Exchange, from The latter port, of the 2lst
Scpt.,-being two days later than tho news from
the North OF Iceland, brought by the Liverpool.
The Harvest in the North Of Leland-Tho
Londonderry Sentinel says, that during tho pre-"
ceding week, upto Thursday 18TH the country had
been Delayed with ran and tina crops greatly in
jurcd. On that day, however, tho weather became
fine, and strenuous Efforts were being made to get
in the oats, nearly the whole of which were still
out. The grain crops, generally. u. described as
dcplorabc.
From other sources we learn that tho crops
throughout Ireland will fall far short of average,
with tho exception of potatoes, in the North which
never promised better. Much Of the wheat that
has boon gathered in, is in damaged state from,
the rains.
A passenger informs us that in several parts Of
England, the accounts Of bad crops had been ex
| aggerated-hut all the ewlands near rivers haC
been inundated from the heavy rains.
1t should be remembered, however, that low
lands in England are generally grass nedows. The
tho wheat crop would be one-thlrd below an ave-
r,ge, and that rather from damage than shor
yield.
