generator OF the WOrlu &C &C. Al the conclusion,
he told us he was building furnaces in Tennessee,
and suggested to the Agricultural Society to establish
geological survey and make reports. This letter
seemed to stullfy the sensbiities of all present.
Mr.. Wakeman said gentleman-a travelling gen.
teman present--was disposed to say something
about his conversations with persons in the South,
when Mr. Wright told us that agricultural schools
had produced much benefit-hat he kept no Jour
nal-that emigrants bought farms for $i5 an acre,
and sold them at $75. He then told US how they
made their manure. In fact, this gentleman sup
piled some highly useful facts, from southern far
mcrs experience, that no doubt will be duly appre-
ciated IN their proper place. He recommended the
sowing OF wheat four six weeks earlier than the
customary period. He told US that hemp in Ken
lucky was broken by steam--five minutes finished
the processand that it far superior to the hemp
used in the manufacture of Irish linens. Mr.
Wright's predictions for the steam process in
breaking hemp were thrown overheard by the asser-
ton, that steam destroyed the fbres. Mr. Meigs
reJolced that this simple contradiction, showed the
valnc OF free discussion The peaches were here
lnvoluntarlly introduced again, by gentleman who
asserted, that IN Lyons, In France, peaches graf
ted with bitter almonds. Then came the subject OF
the momentous occasion-"The Preservation Of Ami
mai Food'-but IT came on at a period when the
consumption OF the article formed more important
subject for the discussion of the members and after
repetition OF the same opposition to the pressure
system, (Which was given in the last report,) and
many testimonies to the efficacy of the old system OF
saving, all departed to enjoy those creature com
forts In practise, atengrossed so much OF their
sideration In theory.

Governor Van NESS assured by Mr.. Polk that he
would be removed unless for unless charges

The Collector, learning, however, that Mr. Polk en-

private letter Mr. Secretary WALKEn saying that he

of the President Subsequently, the Secretary
informed the Collector that his offer had been considered by
the President and accepted and that the President would

FROM Ell ECUADOR.

In the Havana Prensa of the 9Th instant, we find
brief account of revolution in the Republic Of Ell
Ecuador, which we do not remember to have seen
elsewhere noticed. 1t broke out on the 7th Of
March, and ended in the overthrow of Gen. FLORES
and of the Constitution of Quito, after about hun
dred men had been killed. A provisional govern
ment then formed, consisting OF three lndlvl-
duals--Don Jose Olmedo for the department OF
Quito, Don Vicente Roca for Guayaqui, and Don
Diego Novoa for Cuenca. All the public acts I'M
der the authority Of the abrogated Constitution were
annuled, and the laws enacted prior to the adoption
of that Constitution were again in force. As soon
as tranquility should be restored a Congress was
to be assembled to reform the Constitution and elect
the high officers of State. 1t was reported, how
ever, that Gen. Otamendi had taken the field with
six hundred men, in support of Gen. Flores, and a
civil war was apprehended.
