- C. F. Rafinerque, Botanist at Philadelphia, has
written a letter to Dr. Mitchell, of N.York on the
subject of introducing the Tea Plant into the U.
States, for which article, he says, more than 12
millions of dollars are annually sent to China
from this country. He says the shrubs which
produce _the green and black Tea, grow on the
eastern Continent, as far north as Japan, 8:c. and
even in places where streams of water freeze in
the winter, in the same latitudes and climates as
the United States ; that tlierefore they will grow
in ‘our. northern and. middle states; that both
shrubs are hardy, can be transplanted with little
care, and that their cultivation is easy, will grow
in hedges, orcliai"t'ls. lice. and require no other soil
not care than the Mulberry tree, to which they
are associated in China. They have been trans-
planted successfully from China to Brazils, where
they thrive, though the climate is too warm.-—
Mr. R. thinks it necessary to get the living shrub
or perfect seed from the northernmost part of
China or Japan, inorder to insure their success; _
if they should be taken from ‘the neighborhood
of Canton, the difference in the climate will be
too great.
During the late temperate weather, the farm-

preparing the ground for seeds at the early open-

The celebrated Jose/1/z Lancaster recently de-
livered two lectures in Congress-Hall, the first,

the second on his peculiar mode of instruction—-

and the most profound knowledge of human na-
ture. After his first lecture, the House -voted
liiin an admission on the floor. He intends re-
turning to Philadelphia, to take charge of a
school of 300 boys: his daughter. is already
there, superintending one of the same number
of girls. He intends, if his life is spared, to ten-
der his s_ervices in every part of the Union, in or-
ganizing and instructing schools on hisprinciples.

quested four eminent printers (a Russian, a Ger-
man, a Frenchman, and an Englishmen) to exa-
mine the same, who reported that it was decided-
ly superior to any printing press heretofore used.
