Steamboats, and Excnrsious

We notice In the newspapers of all our cities
the advertisements of steamboats, about to make
pleasure excursions at very low rates of fare.
There is no more pleasant mode OF enjoying
days recreation than is thus presented, and
we do not wonder that multitudes of men,
women, and children avail themselves of the
opportunity to enjoy themselves upon terms so
economical. And yet there are still many who
wisely abstain from participating in these en-
jOyments, and who prefer the more sedate and
expensive travel upon the same boats at times
when special excursion trips are not adver-
tIsed; and in this connexlOn We must take Oc-
casiOn to observe that one of two things must
soon Occur-either a limitation must be placed
upon the number of passengers each boat is
permitted to carry, and upon the maximum
speed at which she may move, or some stupen-
dous disaster will suspend for season at least
the practice of making cheap excursions. In this
matter none are more deeply interested than
the Pr0pFIetOrs OF steamboats,; and to them
especially, do We commend the subject. A
guarantee to the public that no abuse will ever
be permitted from either of the causes here
HaHeu |ul Ohh'uCo the grauHcatl0n of those
who seek pleasure by means of the facilities
thus offered to them, and at the same time
greatly increase the patronage of the boats By
calling for more frequent trips; OK, should a
little higher price for tickets be in consequence
demanded, it will not weigh in the popular
estimation against the security attained by
judicous regulations.
IL is said that we are more reckless of life
in republican America than in monarcaical
Europe; and the laxity Of our laws regulating
the various means of transporting passengers
throughout our country gives grounds for the
assertion. While upon the North river, upon
the Delaware, upon Chesapeake bay, upon the
Potomac, and everywhere throughout the
country, steamboat is never considered
full while there is plank fore or aft for
a passenger to stand upon, each steamboat
that moves upon the THAMES is assigned
ats limited number Of passengers, and the
penalty for violating the injunction is uni

Tea AT HoME.-It will surprise many to know
that we need no longer rely on China for tea, but
drink our homegrown English, and SO be indie
pendent of the foreigner, if such independence is
worth caring for Mr. Alexander Forsyth has ad
dressed communication to the Horticultural So
ciety, in which ne says that, having considered
that the tea of Paraguay is a species of holly
he tried our common holly, and finds the tea,
when washed, equal to ordinary five shilling
tea The prickles serve important purpose
for they keep the leaves separated during the
roasting, and thus serve the purpose of frequent
turning. The smell given off is at first unplea-
SAINT, butt disappears entirely az the leaves cool.
"What will tea-drinkers, confirmed tippling tea
drinkers, say to this?' observes Mr.. Forsyth
"The very tea itself becomes cheap at last, and
abundant, growing even in the garden hedge. A
forest of tea trees in full leaf at door. Such
harvest has never before been seen. Waste not the
holly any more upon wbip-handIes; peel it not for
bird lime, az formerly; squander it not, even at
Christmas; but reap it, roast it, again and again.
for the store will be annually renewed, and the
future foliage will furnish finer tea leaves than
those just gathered What an opportunity here
for the adulterators; they will doubtless take care
that the public drink holly tea whether or no.
