Tho packet ship North America arri-
we'd at New York on Saturday, in pas
sage Of - days from Liverpool, bringing
English papers to Jan. 7, two days later
than previous adviccs, and including ac-
counts from China and India six weeks
later. The accounts from Chusan are
10 Oct. /, and from Canton and Macao
to the end Of August.
The news by this arrival is Of an i'm
portant character, viz tha, the difficult
ties between the Chinese and the English
are in fair way of being settled This
unexpected news received by the over
land mail, has caused quite a sensation
in London, and the tea dealers were
panic struck.
In the purport Of these accounts, says
the Boston Advertiser, there is good
deal Of contradiction. The British Ad-
miral had succeeded in opening COM
munication with the Chirese Govern
mcnt, through Capt Elliot, who entered
the mouth of the Pecho river, on the
/ | lih Of August, with flag Of truce. de-
lvered the Admiral's letter, and ten
days afterwards received an answer, and
was admitted 10 conference with the
Imper rial Commissioner Khe-Shan. The
result of these communications is no,
known, but it is believed that the Empe-
ror has promised 10 open negotiations at
Canton, and is willing to renew the com
mercial intercourse at Canton, on condi-
ton that the English evacuate Chusan.
1t was rumored further that the Emperor
had agreed to pay &c ,0OO,O 900 as an in
Identification for the opium, and the ex-
penscs oi the war, and 10 give up the
Commissioner Lin into the hands Of the
English, to be dealt with as they see fit.
But we do not perceive that this is sup
ported by the authority of the India pa
pers, and it seems strongly improbable.
Tea had fallen in consequence Of the
news, it is said, I'd. on tho ID.
The news from India is favorable to
the English The Cabool and Afghan
istan war was nt an end. Dost Mahom-
med, after suffering another defeat, had
thrown himself under the protection of
the British, with Il single follower.
The news from Syria is not important,
except that the blockade Of the coast
was raised
There is little news from France or
England.

| LATE From CHIyA.--The ship
Montezuma, Captain Copp, has arrived
at the break water from Manila, whence
she sailed on the st Of September. She
brings accounts from Macao to the mid
die of August. The Chinese had seiz-
ed an English missionary who was at
the time bathing in the river, and had
taken him to Canton, where he was
mcnaced with decapitation. The En-
glish had demanded his release in five
DAYS, which was declined; and they had
in consequence attacked and DESTROYED
the Chinese fort, which divides the Chi
ncsc from the Portuguese jurisdiction
near Macao, and had killed sixty or
seventy Chinese with trihng loss on
their part.
The forts at the Bocca Tigris have
two hundred cannon mounted, and were
so Formidable, that the English did not
choose to attack The universal opinion
was. that the force ofthe British in Chi
ma was inadequate to make any impor-
tant impression, and that there was no
probability ofany renewal ol the foreign
trade. Indeed it was thought that years
might elapsc before that event would
take place.
The ship Adelaide, for this port, was
left to sail Immediately, and tho Mer-
chant and Washington, to sail in about
thirty days for the United States

CAPTURE OF SLAvER.--A letter
dated st. Croix, Dec. 90, received in
New York, states than an English brig
of war cruiser in the vicinity of Porto
Rico, had captured and sent in nj Hav-
ana, slave vessel belonging to Span
lard in Porto Rico, valued at $50, 900.
On opening tho haichcs, the hold was
found to be crammcd with negroes from
8 to ~ years old, stark naked, with
their heads shaved. Sevcral of the
little sufferers were worry III, and one
had died on the previous night. Aiicr
the capture they were all placed around

Mr. EDIToR:-A neighbor OF mine was IN
duced bya an article headed" Burn your Cotton
Stalks" which has been published in several
papers, TO make an examination of his cotton
stalks which has resulted in his conviction
that the suggestion of "a young Planter" Is
worthy the consideration of his brethren OF the
plough. This gentleman states to me that a
number of his cotton stalks perished last sum-
mer, in different stages of their progress 10 ma.
turity,-some CT them with partial crop OF
bowls upon them. In making the inspection
alluded to, he discovered that some OF The limbs
were perforated underneath, near the junction
with the main stem. In some OF these cavities,
he found small straw colored bug Of an oblong
form, betweenthe size Of q grain u wheat and a
small pea, while from others the little intruder
had disappeared. here inquired Of him if it
was not probable that these intruders had com
menced their exploring expeditions aner the
stalks were killed by frost, TO which he replied,
that he noticed several apertures which were
partially closed by the after growth of the plants
From these facts, he is persuaded that much
evil for the present season might have been
averted by timely destruction Of his cotton
stalks.
If any light can be shed upon this subject it
IS desirable that it be reflected through your co.
lumns. The subjects is rot and rust. after all
the speculations that have appeared in refer
encc to their origin. still remain among the
"terra incognita" of Agricultural ken. The
best method of averling them, if possible, is a
great interest to the planter.

LuCERNE.

We have small square Of this grass
growing in our garden, from the appear
ance of which we are inclind to think ia
vorably of as grass for soilins or hay in
our climate. The soils sandy with sand
foundation. 1t was badly prepared, be-
ing but lhinly manared, and having had a
coat several inches deep Of unrotted oak
leaves turned in few weeks before the
lime Of planting. But being the only va
cant spot in the garden at the time, we
concluded TO try il. After spading up the
ground TO the depth of twelve inches, the
seed was drilled, early in May, and came
up well; but at least half the plants, per-
haps two thirds, were destroyed few days
after they appeard above the ground, by a
very small black fly. Those which were
left grew well, but having on hand at the
time press of other business which more
urgently demanded our attention, they
were not worked till some time in June,
when it was almost concealed by thick
crop ofcrab grass. The growth was some
what checked by the disturbance of the
roots in pulling and cutting up this. 1t
was hoed once more during the season,
but not till another heavy crop of crab
grassshad attained such growth as to re-
qufre the hand for pulling, rather than
hoe for cutting it up. The lucerne with all
these disadvantages grew to an average
height of from 10 10 IS inches. Or rather
this was the length of the spears, which
inclined to grow latterally, and were bent
towards the ground by the weight oftheir
leaves. Some punches bore seed, and the
whole would very we'll have borne cutting
in.t6e fall. They continued green till Sc
we're: frost; and young leaves began to
spring up from The roots again late in Janu-
ary. From that time they have gcontin-
u. ued to grow, slowly in cold weather, and
more rapidly when the weather was warm.

The severe (ipst in February killed some
of the, leaves, but none of the spears. A
week ago, when the peach trees had bios
somed, but had put forth no. leaves, the
lucerne was from s to Ia inches high
Many Of the spears are now II INCHES
long, and The whole presents the mostlux-
urianl and beautiful growth of deep green
and tender vegetation which VIC have ever
seen in March. The only defect is that
the stand is too ihin. If the stand were
good it would now afford as heavy a crop
of hay as clover affords at any season OF
the year, even on strong soil. The spaces
between the beds were covered with a
coat of stable manure ir February and
spaded up.
From The result, thus far, this expert
ment, we feel warranted in advising trial
of lucerne by planters who have sandy
soil which they can manure. The early
part of September is considered the best
time for planting, and next to that, llIe
month of February. If the season had
been dry one our planting in May. last
year, would probably have proved fall
ure. Several buncEes died during short
continuance of dry weather in some part
of the season, perhaps in August. This,
however, may have been caused by the
quantity ofleaves still unrotted in the soil.
Lucerno is used chiefly, if not altogether
for hay OF soiling, that is, cutting TO feed
in green state. Delicate lambs, pigs and
calves might be suffered to run upon it for
short time though not without injury TO
the succeeding crop Of hay. The roots
penetrate deep into The soil, and continue
to throw up luxuriant growth Of stems
and leaves for 8 to 10 years: some ac-
counts say, much longer Though valua-
BILE, it cannot be used in rotation ofcrops
for the improvement ofland. Butto coun-
terbalance this disadvantage, it requires
neither replantins nor cultivation for long
series Of years after il has once taken good
root. 1t must, however, be manurcd oc-
casionally, as the growth begins to fail.
Rabbits are very fond Of it aud injure
it in early spring by cropping it down.
Moles, also, sometimes kill it by eating oil
the roots little below the surface of the
carth.-Chera,o Gazette.

Bile opinion it was just aud correct deci-
sion-one which merits for his Honor the

ed the same, as being privileged from levy

injunction, it being iu proof before him
that the defendant was a practical printer,
