an opportunity of comparing English

greatly in favor of England she gives
us the following sketch Of Mr.. Sturgcs
residence at Edgbaston, near Birming.

Mr.. Sturgc's place is retired modest
and unpretcnding in every way, but very
lovely. The smooth, closely cut lawns
are perpetual pleasure to my eye

the May tree is a little 1'assc but the
laburnum is yet in its golden glory. and
with its long pendent branches, all in
flower, seems pouring itself down, in a
bounteous royal shower, reminding one
of Joves aurifcrous courtship of Danae.
''The most beautiful tree | have yet
seen in England is the copper beach at
least, it has the finest effect amid ether
foliage. There is one in the line of trees
skirting the lawn before me, which, with
its dark, rich tint, looks, amid the sur
rounding bloom and verdure, like Rem

paintings
"Delicious and countless bird notes

most the powerful dray horses of Liver

at the immense strength, and no body,

And yet they were not all in vain,

Nor always be it dormant lain.

E&- Notwithstanding the enormous
disproportion between the Russian and
the Turkish naval forces in the massacre
of Sinope, it is quite doubtful whether
the injuries inflicted upon the Russian
navy in the desperate encounter, were
more than compensated for. The fact,
long suppressed By the Russians, has late
ly come to light that one of the finest
three, ,deckers of the Russian feet--the
Rastislay, l2O'gun ship-was sunk there
by the Turks. This fact is now admit
ted by the Russians, and forms a good
set'off against the destroyed Turkish
ships. If one three decker was actually
sunk, we may suppose that the other
Russian vessels received very serious
harm indeed during the action-and, af
ter all, the victory of Sinope may have
moro disabled the Russian than the
Turkish fleet So far, then, the prizes
carried off by the Russians amount to
nothing, and indeed the impossibilty for
them to carry ofi a single prize from ST.
nope shows both the obstinacy Of the
Turkish feet after the the action, Dos

LOCAL NEWS.

ANOTHER New ENTERPRIsE.-We learn
that Eli Thayer Esq, of this CITY, has dispos-
ed of the extensive Machine Shop which he
has erected the present season upon land
owned by him in the south part of the city,to
company of gentlemen from Springfield, who
will occupy it for various manufacturing and
mechanical purposes. The building is of
stone, three stories in height, four hundred
feet long and fifty feet wide, and will furnish
accommodations for five or six hundred work
men. The Norwich & Worcester Railroad are
preparing to lay down branch track from
their road to the shop for the convenience of
the occupants, in receiving and discharging
COAL iron, land other merchandise. A new and
beautiful steam engine of sixty horse power,
built expressly for the enterprising company
who have purchased the shop, will be put up
during the coming week. The proprietors
calculate upon commencing operations in
about four weeks from this time. In addi-
ton to the houses already erected the present
season in that vicinity we learn that contracts
have been made for the erection of seventeen
others during the present autumn and winter,
for the accommodation of those who will be
employed in the machine shop. The company
above referred to, have purchased of Mr..
Thayer five acres of land surrounding their
main building, all of which will be reserved
for the erection ofother buildings for mechan-
ical uses in connexion with the large shop al
ready erected.

PoTAToEs.-Th WoonsoclIet Patriot says
that the potato crop in that vicinity is very
good, and the yield fair with little or no dis
ease. We believe the same is true in great
portion of New England. We have made
considerable inquiry on the subject, and it is
our opinion, that considering the size and
quality, and the freedom from disease the
crop in this county is the most valuable one
that has been raised for the last five years.
The price has fallen one half since the rains.

HoRTIcULTURAL Exhibition We hope
that our friends, both in this city and county,
have looked over their fruit trees and made
arrangements for free selections for the grand
exhibition of next week. 1t can be, and it
ought to be made far superior, to any exhibit
ton that has preceded it. We have noticed
very superior specimens of choice varieties, in
the grounds of many of our citizens, who are
not in the habit of contributing to the exhib-
itions. Why will they not, now, do what
they can, to add to this very attractive feature
of our next week S shows. The Boston Ex-
hibition is past and will not interfere with this
as it has heretofore done. We may therefore
reasonably expect many here who do not usu-
ally attend, and we should regret to have
them disappointed by the disparity between
this and the Boston show. Specimens should
be sent in on Tuesday, or early Wednesday
morning, at the latest.
