en- hundred birds, beasts, fishes crocodiles, and
cnricaures of men aud women, pass in slow, but

from the discharges of sugar pums from the We

forces in magnificent assembly room, and, be.
meath the blaze of lamps, chalted, danced, and
walked: kings, courtiers and officers Greeks,
Romans, flower girls, and host of other domn-
oes. Mounting the gallery which ran round the
hall, close to The ceiling, looked down on this vast
crowd, winding through the ma2es Of the dance,
trooping about the room, or speaking to each 9TH

AGRICULTURAL.

Ciay Mixtures on Sandy Lands.--A correspon-
dent of the Western Farmer gives the following
as his experience OF the value OF mixed clay with
sandy soil -" Several years since, when resi-
dent Of New England, purchased piece Of dry,
sandy land, denominaed there, "pine plains"
TINT had been very much worn. A portion of il,
about "a acres was on the verge OF deep ra
vine, and little more elevated Than the remainder
of the lot. This piece had been sown the fall
previous with rye, aud stocked with clover. The
rye WINS harvested an inferior crop-and the
ground, found ia The fall, was not TO appearance
more than half stocked. Not having manure for
a spring crop and clay being handy, carried on
the piece abou, thirty ox-carl loads of clay this,
however, was not pure, but supposed to contain a.
bout one-thrd sand; the same was spread upon the
surface Of the ground in the fall. In the spring
it had formed a complete coating over the whole
surface; the result was, heavy crop OF clover.
The next spring about twenty loads OF yard manure
was spread upon it. Ii was then broken up, roll
ed, narrowed and planted with corn, about the
10Th of May. The result was, about ninety bush
els Of sound corn. had corn enough for my own
use, and sold about fifty bushels, for fifty dollars.
This was my first experiment in farming. 1t is
nearly eight years since the clay was applied, and
am told, that the ground is still benefited by it.
The application was continued on other portions
of the LOT with equally beneficial results, as long
as occupied it,"

LATER FROM BERMuDA,

Bermuda papers 10 the 3lst uJ, received by
the brig Telegraph, furnish the following add.
onaI particulars OF the devastation caused by the
earthquake ut Hayu'
Among those who persisted, now estimated at
4O00 was the family of the British Consul; the
Consul was fortunately taking ride out OF town
and ESCAPED. The American Consul and the
whole oil his family were destroyed.

| the shocks We're most severe, producing sensa'
ton similar TO sickness. The Tweed steamer,
on her way up from 81. Domingo, was so
severely shBken that the captain believed the ves-
sci had struck upon Il rock, and preparations were
made To get out The boats.
The effects of the shock at the city of ST Do
mingo are thus described in Il letter dated al that
place the l4lh May, and addressed 10 the CONNER
cial Observation-Disclosures.
"On Saturday, the 9Th ilslant at half past +.
NJ, the city OF Santa Domingo, was visited 10y a
very severe earthquake, which lasted about Two
minutes, The sound during the shock was simi-
lar TO that experienced during a severe volcanic
eruption, and the effects nearly destroyed the
town. The greater part of the dwellings are UNI
tentable-the inhabitants in their apprehension
have deserted the city and taken shelter OUTSIDE
A large number OF families who were heretofore
comfortably located, now compehen 10 oe-
come the tenants of huls hastily constructed uh-
der The painful emergency. Inc river ozaha
was raised 10 eight feet beyond its customary
height, Business was at a stand the Custom
House and other public offices were all closed,
tho earth having been frequently agtalsd since
the first shock.
A considerable degree of alarm prevailed a.
mong the population Religious professions wero
seen going through the streets at different inter-
walls during the night as well as the day, with The
obec, of invoking the Divine Mercy. The intel
ligence received this morning from La Vega and
Santiago, is of the most distressing character, up
wards of 1000 persons are said TO have persisted,
principally in the churches, where they took shell.

is detrimental to ploughed lands in general but
more particularly 80 to thin lands, and all lands of

now found to be, since unusual quantities of fints
and other stones have been repeatedly gathered
for the use of turnpike roads. In the parish of
Stevenage, in Hertfordshire, there is field known
by the name of Cakdell- field, containing about
200 acres; the land in this field was formerly e.

which was picked lost seven or eight parts in ten
of two succeeding crops and though the whole
field was manfred and managed in all respects
alike, yet the inpoverishment was visible where
the stones had been picked off, and extended not
