BY the Crescent City we have files Of Kingston
papers to the 18th inst, two weeks later than pre-
vious advices
They are singularly barren of what can properly
be denominated news, and contain few items of
more than local interest.
There is the usual amount Of complaint Of the
depressed state of business, growing out Of the
change of the policy of the home government, in
withdrawing protection from the products Of free
labor, and the papers are urging the employment
of the industry Of the islands in new channels of
production Among these the culture of cotton is
mentioned, and the result Of some experiments in
its growth appear to give encouragement of future
success in the matter.
Agricultural associations are forming in different
parts of the island, the plan of joint stock COM
panies, to promote the employment of persons now
out of business, in cutivatng the minor products
OF the soil. The design appears 10 be to have two
classes of subscribers 10 the associations one of
whom will contribute labor and capital, and the
other capital alone, towards the undertaking -the
former of course TO share more largely in the pro-
fits, if any accrue.
Gen. Santa Anna left Kingston on the 18th inst,
passenger in the schooner Anita for Carthagens,
1t twas his intention, according to his announce
ment, to make that place his future residence. The

nation is more probably Mexico.

The lofty pine that tops our northern hills,
And boldly rears its column TO the si1y;
That when the strong armed gale the valley fills,
Lifting the stately cedsrs from on high,
Doth with giant heart its rage defy;
Graspeth, with vigorous root, the kindred soil
And with the tempest battles nightly
That still unbowed amid the wild turmoil,
Stands, when the angry storm hath spent its
wrath,
All crowned with sunbcams meath the brighten

And high above the swollen torrents path
Still towers erect in unscathed majesty
The mountain pine, the brave and hardy tree,
Oh, patriot heart an emblem is Of thee
