And his steeds lash tina clouds with their light

Rich gems, in the pride of their might.

While Jewels fash Out from their soft lighted caves,

THE Potato DISEASE. The English papers, by
the last steam ship, abound with articles relating 10 the
disease which has attacked the potatoes in that country,
as well in this. Next TO the rail read MANIA il seems
to be the most prolific subject Of newspaper comment.
The disease in that country is called the potato muir
rain" The specuaon upon it, show that they are as
much in the dark about it, as we are here. Some at
tribute it to weather, and some TO cold some to
dry, and others Some affirm that it is caused by
cutting the Seed some charge it to insects. on the vine
uber, and others a vegetable fungus. The opinion
has been very confidently expressed, BY some,. as it
was here that 1t owing to the long time which has
elapsed since the potatoes produced from the seed
contained in the apple or ball This. however was
promptly met by numerous instances where the disease
had attacked potatoes of only one two and three wears
growth from the seed, quite badly as it did the old
varieties in the vicinity. One person had some
fifty sixty new varieties raised from the seed within
two or three years, all of which were badly infected
with the disease
We have yet seen no reason 10 change the opinion,
which we expressed in an early stage of the discussions
upon this suhject-ha the Of the disease is some
subtle agency influence, probably, atmospheric opera

THE ToMBs OF PAUL AND VIRGINIA A
correspondent of the Boston Journal at Port Louis
in the Isle of France, says that many suppose the
celebrated work of Paul and Virginia is a fiction,
but such is not the case. Indeed the general
outlines of the story is drawn from truth, and
the only establishment may be said to be found
in the graceful style of Bernardin de st Pierre.
The tombs of the hero and heroine still exist, being
simple monuments ofbrck and plaster, now much
defaced by the hands of curiosity hunters
The old church of Pamplemousses withstands
the ravages of time, and the Morne de la De-
couverte will be more enduring monument than
all. The memory of Panl and Virginia is still
cherished by the people, many of whom bear
their names: and it is quite amusing to hear some
of them boast of lineal descent from this virtuous
bachelor and unspotted maid? All strangers
make pilgrimage to Pamp emousses-for to stand
over the grave of such lovers and to call to mind
passages of their history can but awaken pleas
ing affections

The trade OF the English provinces of Move
Scotia and New Brunswick, which formerly went
to New York, has within few years mostly been
done in Boston, and has added not a little to the
prosperity Of Massachusetts,. The British ves-
sells which come up with wood, potatoes and plais-
ter, salmon and seal skins, bring up also great
deal OF money and purchase most of their sup
plies here which formerly were received from
Great Britain. A person who vas looking round
one of these British vessels from St. John, which
was taking on board cargo of provisions, furni-
ture, pals, brooms, &C., and last of all, deck
load of cabbages, of nearly 2OOO heads, found on

Of which, as well as the produce of her New

least is the experience OF this country thus far.

last year, little Or none of it has been experienced

resolution passed at the late County Convention in
