devotion and industry. which excited the admiration
Of all, during her visit here, collected a great
variety OF the productions and manufactures Of the
group, and took them with her. She reached Lon
don after the exhibition had opened, but still in
time to deposit there some Of the curiOsities obtained.
These specimens were not collected by her with any
view Ct being placed in the Exhibition, and were only
put there TO all the space kindly allotted to US. An
article on our fourth page, copied from the Lon
don Times Of the 5lst Of August, will indicate
some Of the articles deposited there. We much
regret that specimens of our agricultural products
were not sent but the failure may be attributed to
the fact that no official notice was given, ~exceptin the
PolyHesiaH, Of any arrangements to receive and for
ward such specimens as might have been offered by
agriculturalists and plantersi Our sugars. coffee,
and various kinds Of furniture woods are not sur
passed by those Of any other part Of the world
A. least We have no fears in placing them beside the
best that can be shown even III the London Exposi-

The AEcr1c INDIAss.-A number Of the whalers
and trading vessels have had more or less trouble
with the Arctic Indians, duripg the past summer.
Heretofore they have been very peaceably disposed,
and the Disturbances are attributed solely to the
influence Of the liquors barteEed to them. These
liquors are said to be aduIterated with the most
fiery and poisonous Ingredients, that the ayarice Of
man can invent. No wonder that the natives are
made crazy and threaten to destroy our whalers.
