| In consequence of the great mortality which has
taken place of late years in silkworms throughout
Europe the price of all kinds Of silk goods has ad
| vaneed exceedingly. To remedy the deficit in silk
caused by the disease which had set in, the Societe
discrimination proposed to introduce into France the
| species known by the name Of the bombyx cynthia,
and which is easily fed the leaves of the ricnus,
the berries OF which furnish the aperent known In
medicine by the name of castor oil. That shrub is
exceedingly common in Algeria, and grows readily
| in France particularly in the south. The worms in
question have succeeded perfectly well In the French

England give notice to all nations concerned in the
slave trade that she will take her share in the work
OF humanity If they will contribute their quota of

The London Times Of the 18th ultimo remarks:-
| Nobody can seriously imagine that such country

The London Post of 10Th of June remarks If

France, following our example, has an eye to the
efficient drilling and numerical strength Of her army
| and navy.
