So it became the favor-; iteand the most popular of all trees in newly rattled villages,, about farm-houses that had been rueglected, and in streets lately graded. Abundantly, too,' it repaid its fanciers for all their pains upon it. But somebody discovered that caterpillars liked to spin down from its branches, and that its roots struck out in all directions, and were not modest about putting themselves forward wherever there was any manner of opportunity,' intruding even into some fields devoted to other purposes, and worse than all that there was a sickish kind of odor exhaled from its Llossoms at certain seasons even as a thousand beautiful flowers are'not able to equal their beauty with their fragrance. - Wc cannot, we very frankly confess, sec why, because a caterpillar has taste to discern a picas ant, tree,- wo should cat off the object of its choice as unworthy of our favor. Caterpillars will spin their webs on the branches of the very finest pippins-of the noblest buttonwoods ana the most graceful elms. And as to its for ward habits, its thrusting itself in between pa ving stones rather than not see- the light, and springing up all over cultivated fields, we are for ourselves ready to forgive it all.

A Paris letter of the 7th inst., eays : ''The first presentation of Americans to Lou is Napoleon, since he has been Emperor, aud to Mrs. Bonaparte, since she has been Empress, took place at the Tuilerics, tin Thursday night. About sixty Americans and seventy English were introduced to their Majestjes. The cere mony is briefly this : The gentlemen and ladies to be presented, form a double line, the gentle men on one side, aud the ladies on the other, as if they were "to dance a Virginia Reel. Space enough is left between for their Majes ties to pass easily. The Americans- had one half of the presentation tooio, and tha English the other. The practice of the Emperor would seem to' be to address some remark about every third person, as the names of the presentees arc mcntioi : i to him, those of the ladies by their amba-adress, and those of the gentlemen by their ambassador. The American portion of the ceremony was easy, graceful and highly successful ; theirMajcsties were gracious in the extreme.- Lord Cowly made a botch of tlie English introductions; and an incensed Lord was heard to remark : " "These Americans , al ways do everything better than any one else ; we cut no figure at all next to them." The Em peror looked well ; better indeed, more at ease, more desirous of pleasing, than I have .ever be fore seen him. The Empress wore white flounr ces, both in her hair, and scattered in tasteful profusion over her dres. She had a necklace of large pjarls around her neck, but not a sin gle diamond. The American ladies that had Eut on all their folcaudas, to compete with her lajesty, shone in unditnmed brilliancy. .We made a very handsome display. I doubt wheth er thirty handsomer women were ever collected on an occasion of the kind. :More than once the Emperor seemed to single out a lady of more than ordinary bauuty, and call the Em press's attention to her. After -the presenta tion there was dancing and a supper. Their Majesties waltzed together, and were onco or twice bumped in a most unseemly manner by Americans who had grown dizzy, and had lost the power of properly guiding their footsteps. It was past one when their Majesties retired. The festivities continued, however, after their departure, and when the clock struck .three the pcompany had not yet left." Cam Insxcts Talc A striking instance of the possession of a capability of spreading in telligence, - and that of a somewhat obtrusa character, is furnished by experiments that have been made by Huber and others upon bees. Every one is aware that the queen-bee is an object of the greatest solicitude and atten tion to all the, workers of tho hive, and yet, among so manf thousands, all busily employed in different and distant parts of the colony, it would appear impossible for thein, to ascertain, at least before the" lapse of a considerable time, whether she was 'absent from among them or not. In order to ' see whether bees had any power of .conveying news of this . kind, , the queen bee has been stealthily and quietly ab stracted from the hive ; but here, as elsewhere, ill newe'was found to. fly. apace. For some half-hour or so, the loss seemed not to have been ascertained, but the progressively increas ing buss of agitation gradually announced the jgrowing alarm, until shortly-the whole hive .was in an uproar, -and .all its busy occupants were seen pouring forth their legions in aearch. of their lost monarch, or eager to avenge with their stings the insult offered to their sovereign. On" restoring the captured queed to her sub jects, with- equal secresy," the tumult speedily subsided, and. .the Ordinary business of the cqmmunity was resumed, as before the occur rence, -That in such cases as those above nar rated, information, "and that 'of" rather a com-I plex character,, was .transmitted by' one insect to "another," cannot "be doubted but by what means T All tbat has been -ascertained . upon this point is. that the ants and the, bees cross their antennae in a . peculiar manner with the antennse of the others that they encounter,'" and this action "beinz repeated arain and strain. seems to be a mode of communicating intelli gence cooiuiuu luwuni toe insect races. iv- ' T r j 1 if-i - r , , vwc4 Aifwy vj sjmimat, x' TIIE ERICSSON.'-" -' . rThe New-York Journal of Commerce says ; The public not- being ' in possossion of fall andi fomiul0f of information with resrd to the per f the' catorie shin Ericsson,' and her excellcnceV and, defects, as developcd'tyr he; Southern tripr-the most exaggerated and impro bable stories bafqb6en"oIreuIatod.

"Thotih connected by rivets,-the working of the engine prevented puch a perfect union or the parts as to allow ot tho tun use oi the power otherwise available. It is slid that it has been determined to substitute a single casting for the defective parts, and that the difficulty will be obviated at once. This change is now being made. The other engine has been perfect throughout ; and when both are com plete, it is believed that the Ericsson will be in a much better condition to prove her capabili ties. Thre are no less than four or five Frenchmen who claim to have applied the principle of the Ericsson engine before the application was made in this country; but M. Foucalt, the scientific genjleman whoso name is well known from its connection with the pendulum experiment a year or two ago, in a long and elaborate article in the Journal des Debits, gives the credit of it, inconteetibly, where it belongs, to Captain Ericsson. A SINGULAR METEORIC PHENOMENON. A correspondent of the London Times gives the following interesting description of a mete or which fell over Lincoln, on he 23d u!t., and set firo to one of the pinnacles on the centre tower of Lincoln Cathedral. The fire, however, was soon extinguished, without injury to other parts of that noble and imposing structure: "A thaw had commenced in the mcming, and the afternoon was bright and sunshiny until about half past 3 P. M., when the wind, which had been blowing1 pretty steadily fiom nearly due west, suddenly veered to due north, and blew in strong gusts ; tho sky became perfectly overcast, and there commenced one of the most blinding snow storms 1 have ever witnessed. Within ten minutes the barometer fell upwards of a quarter of an inch, and the wind increased to a. perfect hurricane. At about a quarter be fore 4 P. M., a Imll of fire descended vpoit the reidre tower of Ute cathedral and burst uritH a luvd explosion, emitting beauti ful rose-colored Jlainet, and acC"inanictl by a (lash, like liyhtniny. No other signs of electricity in the air either prc ccdedor succeeded the appearance of the meteor. "The storm soon after expended itself, and the evening set in c!d and fn.-sty. with a cut ting north wind blowing heavily, and the baro meter gradually rising. At about a quarter patGP. M., the cathcdaal bells rang out the fire alarm, and Eparks appeared to be issuing from'the north-west turret of the tower. The centre, or Lady Tower, is 285 feet high, with a flat roof covered with lead, and at each angle ! there a turret, surmounted by a wooden pin- nacle of some J l,r 'J -t high, cased also with lead. On persons mounuZ the top of the tower, the north-west ninnaclo was I'IV'd to 12 in names, it seemed to nave been struck on ) the north angle, close to where the base of the pinnacle rests on the turret, and tho leaden ca- i- -i.i. ... sing was violently ton. away round to the weBt angle, exposing the wi.od work and rafters of the pinnacle; but, besides this, no other traces of the passage of the electric fluid can be found on or near the turret." THE TRADES OF PARIS. A committeeof inquiry from the Paris Cham ber of Commerce have recently mado a thorough examination of the -industrial productions of Paris. M. Michel Chevalier makes their report the subject of a short article, from which we extract some statistics that may interest our readers : It appear that wax figures aro made to the amount of 13-3,000 francs ; the tailors do a bu siness of 81,000,000; the jewelers til, 000.000 ; the goldsmiths go ns high as 102,000,000; the shoemakers couiu up to 43,000,000 ; tlie Iriuge makers to 28,000,TXX) ; cabinet makers the same ; tanners and leather dressers to 34,000,000 ; car riage makers to 19,000,000; bronze founders to 18,000,000; printers to 23,000,000; glove ma kers to 14,000,000; milliners to 12,000,000; piano makers to 11,000,000 ; and what is a lit tle remarkable, artificial flower makers to the same. The shawl makers' goods amount to 10, 000,000 ; butchers and tausage deah-Ts are put d wn at 91,000,000; bakers and pastrycooks 72,500,000. Altogether the industrial products bf the city of Paris reach the sum ol fifteen hundred millions of francs, of which a very large portion is exported from France : for in stance, they ship, of millinerv, 2,047,000 francs, men's hats 1,319 000, umbrellas, 1,000.000. The labors of the committee throw some light on the expenses of revolutions. In 1837, a dull year, tho sum total of manufactures in Paris wa 1,403,028,000 fr ; in 1848, the year of the revolution, it fell to 077,524,000 a loss of 787, 000,000, or 54 per cent.. 343,000 workmen were employed in 1847, 180,000 in 1S48 also a diminution of 54 per cent. M. Chevalier concludes thus: "May the Parisians never for get this severe lesson : the revolution of Febru ary cost them 800,000,000 of francs." . (A. Y. Ecu. Post. "pllow Mcrat met his Fate The sentence of the military commission was read to him with due solemnity. He listened to it as he would have listened to the cannon of another battle during his military lifo, equally without emo tion or bravado. He neither asked for pardon, for delay, nor for appeal. He advanced of his own accord toward the door, as if to accelerate the catastrophe. The door opened on a narrow esplanade, lying between the towers of the cas tle and the outer walls. Twelve soldiers, with loaded muskets, - awaited bim there. The nar row space did not permit them to stand a suffi cient distance to deprive death of a part of its horror. Murat in stepping over the threshold of his chamber, found himself face to face with them. He refused to let his eyes be bandaged ; and looking at the soldiers with a firm a"hd be nevolent smile, ' My friends," said he, " do not make me suffer by taking bad aim. The nar row space naturally compels you almost to rest the muzzles of your muskets gu my breast ; do not tremble, do not strike me in the face-aiin' at the heart here it is." . As he spokejthus, he" placed his right hand upon bis. coat," to. indicate the posit'wn -of his heart. In his left hand he held a small medal lion, which contained in one focus of love, the image of bis wife and of his four children, as if he.wished thus to make them witnesses of his last hour, or to have their image in his last look, as in his - last thought. lie fixed his eyes on this portrait and received the death-blow with out feeling it,' absorbed in contemplation of all he loved upon earth I His body, pierced at so short a distance by twelve balls,' fell with the arms open and his face to the earth, as if still embracing the kingdom which he had once pos- sessea, ana wmcn ne naa come to reconquer for his tomb.', -They threw his eloak upon the body, ""which was buried in the. cathedral of PizzorffThus .died, the moist chivalrous soldier of the imperial "elKKih ; not the greatest, but the most heroic figure among the companions of the new .Alexander.

"He cruised, about in her for many years, and as it were, re-discovered these islands, for they .had been known to exist, though never visited. He' took a fancy to them, wrote home to. England, and brought .out ; the whole of his family. The" English goverhjrient refusing him protection, he placed himself 'un der that of the Dutch, andsgot three hundred Malay slaves, whom he liberated .upon arriving in the islands, and formed a settlement there. His ship was lost on a voyage to Batavia, and he was lor many years without having any in tercourse with tho world: but being nearly starved for the island produces little more than cocoanut trees h' built a schooner, making the ropes of cocoanut fibre, and the sails of the thick bark that is round tho cocoanut tree, just below the branches. "i-- He was just sailing when a whaler put into the island, and from her he procured canvas and went to Batavia, since which time ho has traded regnlarly there, selling cocoanut oil, of which he makes great quantities, having a steam engine of ten horso power to bruise and press the nut. About the sixth day from Java Head we saw the islands, which arc very low, covered to the water's edge with trees. Thero arc about 24 of them, the largest about a milo broad : they are in a circle, reefs joining them, jind forming a magnificent lagoon, to which there is only one entrance. 4 went on shore early that morning after we anchored, and pulled about three miles up the lagoon to the settlement. Their chief amusement appears to be sailing boat?, of which there arc immense numbers, and managed beau tifully. I counted nearly thirty as we pulled up, sail ng away to the different islands to pick up nuts. Captain Ross is a strange, gaunt looking man; he ami his sons resemble Kobinson Crusoes.

On witnessing the great stir which is made by a certain class of philosophical politicians at the present time in Uhalf of 'Woman's Rights," one would Lc likely t suppose that woman on this side of the Atlantic is degraded from "the high state" which she is entitlcd, by her virtues and charms, to hold in society, and is the victim of oppression and injustice. Is such the case ? On tho contrary, thero ig no country in the world where woman is treated with so much de ference and respect as in the United States of America. " bere regarded as a superior being, destined ""otae the sorrows and share the happiness of man. In "l?i''''cd life woman is regarded as a degraded being ; ie doom ed to a life of toil, and is the slace, not tho com yanion of man. In this country woman is trea ted with respect by all classes of society ; her wants are anticipated, her comforts are secured at any cost, homage is rendered to her as to a superior being ; and a truo woman will seek for nothing more. In most of the countries of Europe, even a mong nations which claim to be the most civil ized, where hoi lot is cast among the humble, she is compelled to perform a large share of the most arduous and disgusting field labor ; all sexual distinction of employment is abolished. In France the women undertake any task that they are able to perforin, without regard to del icacy oj propriety. This applies not only to the poorer class, but it in common among persons of respcctablo standing who are possessed of property. A woman is seen holding the plough or guiding tho harrow, while her husband, per haps a substantial farmer, is sowing the wheat. They thresh out tho crop together, perhaps ex posed to tho boat of a meridian sun. A tine healthy young girl will be often seen handling a muck-fork with grace and skill, while loading her father's cart. The shops are almost un'i? versally tended by women, who act as clerks in counting rooms and factories, au j sometimes manage all the details of a large establishment. In this country women attend only to domes tic duties. The daughters of our farmers arc ! seldom seen in tho fields engaged in laborious I occupations. Labor, which requires jrreat mus- ! cular stength, and robust constitutions, and ex posure to the weather, is considered proper on ly for man. It is a little singular that tho com pliment which the Americans thus offer to the fair sex, and which forms such a striking con trast with European usages, has never been no ticed by the travellers who have visited our shores, and who have professed to describe our peculiar virtues as well as vices. Boston Journal. JUSTICE IN NEW JERSEY. A Dutch Judge in New Jersey recently sen tenced a prisoner. On looking around for him, he discovered him playing chequers with his custodian, while the foreman of the jury was fast asleep. Replenishing the ample judicial chair with his broad-cast carcass, he thus ad dressed the jury : "Misder vorman and t'oder jurymen : Der brisoncr, Hans Vlecter, is vinished his game mit ter sheriff, and has poat him, but I shall dake gare he doesn't peat me. Hans has been dried for murder before you, and you must pring in der vardick : but it must pe cording to der law. Do man he kill's I veel very sartin ish alive to dish tay, as it wash proved he is in der jail at Morrisdown for sheep stealing. Put dat ish no madder. Der law says when der ish a tout ; so you see dor brisoner is guilty. Pe sides he ish a great loafer, I hafkuow'd him vifty years, and he hashn't done a sditch of work in all dat times ; and dere ish no use to nobody. I dink it would be goot plans to hang hhh for der example. I dink, Mr. vormans, dad he petter pe hung next Fourto' July, as der militia is goin ter drain in another county, and dere will pe no vun goin on here I" , It should be added, to tha credit of the jury, tbat in spite of this "learned and impartial charge, ' they acquitted the "brisoner," finding him "not guiltyif h would leave the state."

The whole proceedings were marked by great unanimity and rrood feeling. We will publish in our next tho official pro ceedings, which have not yet been handed to us. At a meeting of the President and Directors, on Saturday evening, arrangements were made to procure, without delay, the necessary Engi neers to make the Survey of the route. Wo congratulate the friends of this place and of the cause of improvement in North Carolina, upon this auspicious beginning. The work is not to bo accomplished in a day or a year; but tlie public; may rest satisfi.-d that it will not lag, but will be carried forward with the -utmost! speed consistent with economy and efficiency Fit'jcticcillc Observer. As regards Farwell, we would state that he icai not the Frco Soil candidate for Governor. He was the Whig candidate. We were a dele gate to tho Wiiig St ite Convention that nomin ated him ; but voted against him every ballot. And when, as is usually the case in conventions where a person has received a majority of the voies, a resolution was offered, declaring the nomination unanimous, we arose solitary and alone in tlie contention and earnestly protested against the nomination. The reason we pur sued this course wa, that wo doubted his sound ness on the Slavery question ; and we deter mined at once to oppose the nominee. But before the Convention adjouned, Farwell as sured us personally that ho was a National Com promise Whig. This assurance, coupled with the fact that the Convention adopted a Platform en dorsing Mr. Fillmore's Administration, determin ed us to support Farwell. Wo accordingly re turned home, hoisted his name in our paper, and advocated his election. But before the elec tion came off he wrote a letter (which wo have already published) in which ho advocated a re ncal of the Fugitive Slave Law and other Free Soil norl;."'4- At first we doubted whether the letter was genuitiu ; '--t having satisfied our self of its irenuinencss. wo "a! "ace denounced the author as guilty of duplicity and fa!;?h.ood, and repudiated the doctrines of bis letter. We changed our support from positive to negative,, and made this cotemporaneous avowal that if his election would place him in a position to carry -ut any of the sentiments contained in his letter, wc icotild oppose him to the uttermost. We coucluded by saying that he was entitled to the support of Whigs, id Last as between him and his cohipci uor, Lpiiuut. And so lie was, tor we knew Upham personally, and knew him to be in favor of the Wilmot Proviso and otherwise unsound on the Slavery question. Besides, the Convention that nominated him reaffirmed the Democratic Platform adopted in that State in 1849, which was Abolition on the Slavery ques tion. . Wc will not omit to state, that on the day of j election we cancelled tlie name of Farwell in j the presence of two respectable witnesses, (one an Episcopal Clergyman,) and voted blank for the office of Governor. We have now given the editor of the "News" the information he has asked for. We call upon bim as a gentleman to publish this expla nation of ours, or stand confessed of having propagated a charge with the iaUieious intent of doing us foul injustice. It is with difficulty we suppress the use of much stronger language in regard to this matter. But we shall wait a short time aad seo if certain papers have enough ol" maghanimity to do us justice. Ashville Spectator. Capt. Rynders, ,the notorious felon, is at Washington city, demanding the office of Mar shal of the southern district of New York. He makes his demands with an impudent front, aud it is said he is determined either to have what he demands, or to take sweet vengeance on the powers that bfe by arraying against them that multitudinous gang of ruffians, the Empire Club, to which the New York l)e--uioeraey has been indebted for every triumph it has won during the lat ten years. It seems to us that if President Pierce pos sessed a tithe of the virtue and moral courage that his admirers ascribe to him, he would make short work of Rynders and his claims. He would, at the'first presentation of the noto rious viliian's name, have declared that no such appointment should disgrace his adminis tration. Silas Wright was a strong Democrat but he did'nt permit himself to be annoyed by low scoundrels. The Buffalo Register tells the story that when Mr. Wright was Governor, Rynders, who had just escaped the clutches of the law for some eccentricity at New Orleans, was an importunate applicant for the office of to bacco inspector in the city of New York. The cool audacity of tho fellow excited much indignation,- but he was backed up by the Empire Club, and any number of other ruffians in the jnetropolis, and it was thought that the Gov ernment might deem it impolitic to offend the gang by refusing office to ono of their represen tatiyes.. ..Renders informod thtf Governor that President Polk would give bim anything for which he might ask ; but . his friends in the city were of opinion that it would, produce a better political effect to" have him receive an office from the executive of the State. It would be. ft recognition and endorsement of his impor tance to the party, which would have the bap-2 piest effect thereafter. Gov Wright v made no" reply to this modest representation of the case, ' and the appointment was" delayed .Tintil Ryn- ders and-his' backers1' became impatient - first and then -savage. Meantime-- the - number,, of applicants for the place had greatly increased, and the prospect was not bf the inoet eacourag- fair.to a head," Rynders waited on the Governor i "the aprwintment.' ;Govs Wright, replied, inhi usual courteous manner, thatMr'Rynders must do "its' he thought bestvabout -withdrawing his name : .but that his- appUcauooi;jBO far from causing any embarrassmenV in-. making the ap pointment, had not even-been considered for theTatboro'nd Jiocky Mount VlanK Koaa and that he-"Com'panjwiUjbe organized fortM, a it mil. w ana wiui an .air oi tne most seii-sacrincuig mag nanimity," saidSirI will eheerfuljiy withdraw my' application," if it embarrasses jpu . to make Correspondence of the Register.

Indeed, I hear but one sentiment expressed of bis address, and that is universal approbation. Mr. Wiley began by Informing the people of the origin, history, and present condition of our system of Common School edu cation in the State, lie showed, as he progress-" ed in his address, the various causes which had retarded its progress, and pointed out the rerne dy. He denied that our Common Schools were a failure, and altho' all that the friends of the system had oxpeeted had not been realized, yet he said its success in North Carolina, he believ ed, would ultimately be complete. ' ' ;' Before the adoption of our Common School "system of education in North Carolina, said Mr.4 r ney, mere was no period or time in any con secutive series ot yearsr at which inorev than three thousand children were at school in the State. Now, during the past year,-there were at the Common Schools in the State; Forty. Thousand children, receiving publtcinstruc--, tion. This vast improvement" ancTincrease in the number f children, Who are now attending the Common Schools, had been one of the main causes why tho number of other kinds of schools had increased, to say nothing of the lvast in fiuence'it must exert, in every relation itf life upon those, who are soon to take tho place. of tfce present generation. He showed, most conclu sively, the tremendous influence it must exert upon the State, in the development of. her-uni bounded resources, v1 hen the people are led to reflect, that it is by the insu-umentality of , this great system of philanthropy, that they nave been elevated to the position .they hold among their tellow-men, tho spirit ot liberty ..would take still deeper root in their hearts and afl'ee- tion, attachment, devotion and reverence- for tlie State of North Carolina, would be the pre vailing sentiments of her people, because she would then be justly regarded as tho common Parent of all her children. This portion of Mr." m ney s auuress mauc a ueep impression upon every one who heard it. Besides the senti ments which made tho iieart of every"' friend of the State and ber institutions beat with quick er pulsations, the grave but earnest "and sin-J cere countenance ot Mr. Wiley seemed to beam' with benignity and kindness, as he progressed with this portion of his beautiful and truly elb quent address. s-,.?-- II is narrative of the statistics and facts con nected with the subject-of' education-. was highly interesting. This portion of his address was to his audience a source of much -edification, as it is a subject.-' upon which we are' not generally informed.. He then proceeded to point out the remedy, for ail the defects, and to obvi ate tue cb''ctions, to that great system of public instruction, the"on!f Jhope for North Carolina.'' He told the people,-that' rie medy ; was not in the increase 6f the'meansuliin'the want 6f Inter est, and the indifference Jwliich the' higher, and wealthy class of the. people manifest in its suc cess, lie urged upon them, the importance, nay thesacred duty ...which.-they owed to the State, to put forth theif e'nergiesand give the Common School system that direetioft-which their VupeJ-,, rior advantages enabled them to do. : Invlew-. of the fact, that "our good old State" showed, from an examination of her statistical. informa tion, a lamentable condition in the moral and educational system of her people, Mr. Wiley, appealed to the State-pride of every son of North Carolina, and particularly to every educated man, to contribute his inlluence to makeour imperfect system of Common School edacation "the system for the State." He then contrasted the condition of the New England States, with that of the Southern States, and pointed out the advantages of the peopje of the latter, over the former. Many other interesting topics were discussed by Mr. AViley. I feci that I cannqt do justice to that gentleman in so brief a notice of his admirable address. lie infused a 'new' spirit amongst our people on the subject-of our neglected Common School system, which I sincerely hope may spread deep aud wide. ' W are all fully convinced that a more suitable se lection of a General Superintendent, could not have been made, than of Mr, WileyiS:: is I hope the friends of education, and pariicur 1 iariy. Uommon ochool education in eastern North Carolina, will meet this excellent and worthy gentleman and Philanthropist 'with extended arms, and cheer him on in- his -.4work of love.
