London, March ga reduction OF fifty
per cent. Of the tariff on coffee and

mons.
In Commons this evening, Mr.. Macfie,
member for Leth, called attention to the
disgraceful neglect of the precautions for
the protection of Scotland against foreign
foe, and moved that the coast defences
near Leith and Clasgow..be be strengthened.
Sir Robert Auntruther, member for
Fifeshire, seconded the motion.
Cardwell, Secretary of War, admitted
the plausibility of the motion, but argued
that Liverpool should be properly defended
first, then Glasgow. There was no danger
for Edinburgh. Even Paul Jones did not
attempt an attack in that quarter. It
should be remembered that the great inn
proyement made in terpedoes had revolu-
tionized the systems of coast and harbor
defence.
The motion was supported by Lord
Elcho, Messrs. Miller and KinniaId and
Sir James Elphinstone. 1t was negatived
by the House without division.

EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGIsLA-

the session was called, and the meeting

OUR TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS.
"CAsTLE THUNDER !"

Few persons outside of those actually
engaged in the business are fully aware of
the extent of the daily operations in tobac-
co in this city. A rough estimate might
be formed from the number of pounds of
tobacco annually manufactured, where that
is definitely known, but even then per-
son would have to be familiar with the
different processes of manufacture, and
know something of the demands of capital
and labor connected with the business, to
form anything more than very general
opinion as to results. In order to give our
readers, in this and other states, full and
perfectly reliable statement of this great
Virginia interest as developed in Richmond,
we have been at some pans in gathering
the following statistics which may be con-
sidered entirely accurate. ...
The table we give inclu1es the whole
number of tobacco manufacturers, en-
ployes, etc., in the Third district, but as
there are only two manufacturing establish
ments in the district outside of Richmond,
it may be considered as embracing the bu-
snesS done in this CITY alone:

1t will be seen from this statement that
nearly one-fifth of the entire population Of
the city, and full one-fourth of the adult
population, is engaged in this important
branch of industry. We can understand
then how seriously this great interest must
be affected by the unjust discrim nation
against our local manufacturers, in putting
tax of only one-hslf the amount exacted
of them upon the large and wealthy manu-
facturers of the North and West who have
eyaded the just intent of the law by put
ting slime cut" upon the market, which
has largely taken the place Of the Virginia
plug and twist, and which has heretofore
paid, by reason of an evasive process of
manufacture, but one-half the duty requir-
ed of the Virginia manufacturers. 1t is to be
hoped that Congress will soon right this
great wrong, and that all our local indus
tries will feel the benefcent effect impaired
to this one great interest by the removal of
this unjust discrimination.
The processes which tobacco must go
through before reaching the market in its
manufactured state are quite numerous,
and we briefly give them for the informa-
ton of the general reader. The farmer
consigns his tobacco to the commission
merchant in the city, who designates the
warehouse to which it shall be hauled.
These warehouses are six in number, viz

as inadequate. The gdfRculty is to Sc
cure their enforcement. Those whose
duty it is TO detect and prosecute, are
much too often interested maintaining
good relation with the wrong doers.
The contractors for public work and
supplies not unirequently have com
munity of interest with those who are
the agents of the public, TO let and SUI
perintend ihe performance Of contracts,
where these abuses exist, there is apt to
be large circle Of apparently disintcr-
ested citizens who labor TO conceal the
facts, and TO suppress investigation.
What the public welfare demands is n
practical measure which will provide for
thorough and impartial investigation
in every case Of suspected neglect, abuse
or fraud. Such an investigation to be
effective must be made by an authority
Independent, Of all local influences.
When abuses are discovered, the prosG-
cution and punishment of offenders
ought TO follow. But even if prosecu-
tious fail, in case Of full exposure, public
opinion almost always accomplishes the
object desired. A full Investigation of
official corruption and crimindlity leads
with great certainty to the needed re-
form. Publicity is great corrector Of
official abuses. Let it, therefore, be
made the duty Of the Governor, on sat
istactory information that the public
good requires an Investigation of the af-
fairs of any public Office or the conduct
of any public officer, whether State or
l. cal, TO appoint one or more citizens
who shall have ample powers to make
such investigation. If, by the inyestiga-
ton, violations of laws are discovered, the
Governor should be authorized, in his
discretion, to notify the attorney gene
raj, whose duty it should be, on such no.
tIce TO posecute offenders. the const-
tuition makes it the duty of the Govern
or to see that the laws be faithfully
executed. Some such measure as the
one here recommended, is necessary to
give force aud effect 10 this constitu-
tional provision.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
In compliance with the constitution,
the last general assembly submitted to
the people the question of holding a CON
vention, to revive, alter or amend the
constitution and at the October tlec-
tion, large majority of the voters of
the State decided in favor of conven-
tion. 1t is the duty of the general as
sembly, at its present session, to provide,
by law, for the election of delegates and
the assembling of the convention.
The vote on the question of calling
the convention which formed the present
constitution. was taken at the October
election, ls49. At the next session of
the general assembly, an act was passed
which provided for the election OF dele
gates to the convention, the first Mon
day OF April, 1850, and the convention
was convened on the first Monday OF
May following. ~.
In conclusion, wish to make my CRATE
ful acknowledgements to the people OF
Ohio for the honorable trust they have
contidcd to me, and to express the hope
that the harmony, prosperity and happi-
ness which they now enjoy in such full
measure, may, under Providence, be per-
petual. r. 3. HAYES

Curious Instincts of the Bee.

Honey-bees are governed by instinct
and not by art. They never deviate
from the course they were created in
The first comb they ever built was as
perfect as at the present day; no art
has improved the present shape or size.
One bee lays all the eggs, while the 9TH
ers raise and protect them; each bee
does its part of the labor in gathering
in the stores ard nursing the young; and
l have notices for some years, their mode
of gathering pollen or bee-brcad. 1t is
this:
When a bee goes out after food, it
alghts on some kind of flower, and gath
ers part of its load; then goes 10 an
other flower of the same kind, and per-
haps third, to obtain load. Another
bee goes out, and if it lights on another
kind of flower, it keeps to that kind till
it gets load But how is this known +?
You go to the hive and watch them as
they come in some have yellow pollen
on their legs; Others have light colors !;
Others have dark but no bee has Two
colors on his legs. If you see any, you
will see more than have, for | never
did; and have supposed that they stor-
ed it in different cells for change of
food. The other day in orerhauling a
hive, | broke out Iew piece Of comb,
and found the different colors in differ
ent cells, which confirmed my belief for
suppose they like change of food as
well as humans.
Another curiosity is their coming out
and alighung before going off; from
among the hundreds ! have hived, / new
Ell had one swarm leave direct from tho
hive.
Another curious thing is their rearing
the males and nursing them so tenderly,
end after they become useless they de-
stroy them. But instinct has directed
them to no it. Another curious thing is
that, when they get to be too numerous,
the mother bee should call out part OF
her brood to follow her, and leave the
others to take care of the young. Why
not call them all out to go with her
because instinct has ordered it other
wise. Certain ones 90 out with her,
while others are coming in with stores
for future use A certain part of them
don't seem TO have any inclination to
follow the mother bee, nor dothey mourn
the loss, for another is provided. ,ss.
How wisely the Creator has arranged
every part and movement 1t is Gu
rious, too, how he eggs OF the drone
cells are all drones, aud those in the
worker cells are all workers. We should
suppose they would get mixed up like
hens' eggs. Agaia, when they want a
queen, why not make D. mistake some
times, aud take a drone egg ? And al
SO, by feeding a certain kind Of food,
make a queen instead of a, worker ~
Again, the queen before She is hatched IS
head downward (which would seem to
bo unnatural but the Allwiss has psads
every part perfect.
