seen a species of caterpillar, which ap
pears in considerable numbers upon tn
cotton, eating the leaves, spinning web
and doing but little injury. 1t is very oil

g. In the principles of order, reverence
for age, for parents, for law, for Office, for
religious rites, Europeans seem TO have
the advantage over US. There is still
ness in their villages, quietness in their
families, general civility to each other,
and towards strangers, delicacy of treat
ment between husband and wife, brothers
and sisters, for which in America we look
in vain. To me this is one of the most
beautiful elements of English society, and
could oe transported across the Atlantic
with great advantage to the western CONT
nent. There are doubtless great exceP-
tons to this comparison on both sides of
the Atlantic.
Z. The elements Of great change are
combining, which in the final result will
annihiate the tyranny under which the
mass here suffer. The abrogation of the
Corn tax was tribute wrung from Lords
and Bishops, who had first monopoized all
the land of the kingdom, and then taxed
all foreign corn, that the poor laborer
should be compelled 10 buy bread at enor-
