NObt ee 28 Noy. 1851. On the 17th instant T was requested, by that faithful giriend of the oppressed (Heny: Bibb) to. make an .exploring expedition * Canada West, for the benefit of the newly arrived settlers from republican bondage. In company 'with him we arrived on the "18th, a short distance from Windsor, nearly 'opposite Detroit, on a tract of rich and pro- duetive lindy valued at:$3 per acre. 'Lhis land is clay soil, covered with the best of timber, such as oak, black walnut, hickory, 'bass wood, 'beech, maple, and elm, in the swales, black ash, and occasionally white maple. It affords a large amount of sawing, hewing, and rail timber; fire-wood cut and corded on the ground is worth 38e, per cord. and'$2 50c. at Windsor, a distance of seyen and 'eight miles. An acre of this wood, if all eut into cord wood, would make about. 60 cords. The country has gentle undula- tions--rather level of the two, and notmuch living' running water, but is obtained by digeing seven to ten feet. 'The aboye por- tion of land that we passed over would: be worth, in the state of nature, $20 per acre in olr Country. -- Nor'is this all,--we looked at some farms in the 'Same 'Vicinity, that were partly im- proved, which could be had for $6 and $7 an acre. 'Chis would be a rare chance' for free colored, persons that would come jin from the free or slave states with money to purebase them homes where they would be recognized as men, with a privilege of as- sisting in electing their own Jaw-makers; a country and government where taxation anderepresentation go hand in hand; not like most of our free states, that tax the colored' man for all that he may possess, and deny him the right of sutirage,--the very hinge on which the door: of the revolution turned, and. caused our forefathers to war against the Mother Country to death and ae girs Some of our people have said that the for advantageous farming purposes. Thisis not so with the part of Canada where the Refugee Home Society propose to settle the men of color. The latitude is about 42 deo., and we raise here the dent corn from Ohio, tion; though I think the p:rt we viewed is potatoes, than corn-raising, not because it is not warm enough, but the soil that we saw is a little too adhesive. We had had severe weather before the 18th, and found it necessary to gather in all out roots; but in our peregvination in the province we saw a man taking ina load of beets, We inquired if they lad not been injured by the frost? and hesaid no. They We saw many colored men; all seemed pursuits, at home and contented. Ihave been particular in giving a de- scription of this part of Canada, that the pose. We haye just drawn an order of $610 on This is to purehase 200 acres of Jand, that will settle <iht fansilies according | to the design of the Home Society, namely, | to give five acres to actual settlers, and sell twenty adjoining: it at cost, by paying, say, 510 down, and the balance to remain with-| out, interest for six years, to be paid in an- nual payments, one-third of which is to be applied to educational purposes, and two- thirds for a further purchase of land for the new comers.' In this way, if we get a good 'start in donations, the Society will be ena- -bled to assist all that may hereafter arriye. Thine in behalf of the Oppressed, Naraay Powrr, P.S. Any amount of vazant land can be obtained, much of the same quality and price that we saw. Ductility of Lron. The use to which this valuable metal has 'been applied, by means of the 'various im- provements in the art of its manufacture since it was first wrought by Tubal-Cain, are wonderfully multiplied, and every day almost witnesses Tron houses and latest and most remarkable purposes for which it has been employed: and by reason 'of its pliability while under the influence of heat, and its firm, durable quality when in a natural state, it is impossible to say to what limit of utility human science and ingenuity may not hereafter make it available. A very astonishing instance of its ductility has late- ly been produced at the "Brown Iron Works," Birmingham, England. It is in the form of a book, the leaves of which are of iron, rolled so fine that they do not ex- ceed jn thickness a piece of ordinary paper. The volume is neatly bound in red moroceo, and the whole is only the fifteenth of an inch thick. This, certatnly, is a very sur- prising proof, not only of the malleable na- ture of iron, but of the perfection to which machinery for its manufacture has been some new application of it. ' no yessels are among the practical advantage of rolling fhe substance alluded to to so extreme a degree of fineness, the fact, as an evidence of high attainment in art, isa very honorable and syratifying one.-- Worth American. : Women's Wrongs Kedwressed. Woman's pride, false pride, even, espe- cially in our cities, often dooms females to ovcupations utterly unsuitable to'their health, beeause they are too proud to work in situa- tions that are healthy, and that be agreeable but for their false pride. It is well known, for example, there are young girls in this city working trom twelve to cighteen hours every day, at their needles, in miserable garrets and cellars, and then barely earning a wretched livelihood, when the city is full of handsome qnansions in which chambermaids are wanted, or nurses, or house seamstresses, or ladies' maids, where, in such employments, they would not, be overworked, 'and they would have good beds, good fires, good air to breathe--everything, in short, to make them comfortable. 'The pride of American orn girls, in the cities, almost altogether ex- eludes them from such employments, and they are given over to the Irish immigrants. We take up the rawest and greenest clod- hoppers, fiesh from the soil of Erin, who often don't know at the start, a watermelon from apumpkin, and go down in our' kit- chens, while giving them handsome wages, to teach them the trade of cooking, simply because Our American born gins, trained in all the culinary arts, would scorn to seen as "servant" ina kitchen. "We cannot, we will not," say they, "live in a house where we can't eat at the saine table with master and mistress'"--as if there could be any com- fort to either party in eating bread' toguther where such a relation existed; and where, if real judgment ruled, the girl ought to de- cline eating at a table with master and mis- tsess, if they desirecl it in, consequence of the mutual embarrassment and restraint there would be upon the parties all round. Now, halfjof Ireland, aud uo sinail portion of Ger- many, have been brought over here--all the way over the Atlantic--by money earned in these employments, which our American women in the cities ssorn. . It is not too tnuch to -say, however, now, that in' these domestic employments there is, in the citi¢ as there has been for years, the greatest dearth of, and the greatest demand for, fe- males fitted for such employments. An Ainetican girl, onee established in a house, can almost fix! her' own' wages, if she will, by her usefulness, only make herself indis- pensable to her employers. * Nevertheless, there are, no doubt, now in this city, five thousand American girls, with scarcely enough to eat and to wear, and with but a gloomy winter prospect before them, whom scarcely 'any wages could telnpt into a com- fortable house, before a well-filled table, sup- plying all their wants. Their pride forbids --but is not the pride false? (#rom the IV. Y. Express. ApyanturEe wivd A Crocopitn.--aA cay- man from the neighboring lagoons of Lyson's eatate in St; Thomas' in the Kast, that used oceasionally to poach the ducks and duck+ lings, having' free warren about the water- mill, was taken in his prowland killed, All sorts of suspicion was entertained about the depredator among the ducks, till the ¢roco- dile was surprised lounging im one of the ponds after a night's plunder. Downie, the engineer of the plantation, ahot at him and wounded him; and though it did not seem that he was much hurt, he was hit with such sensative, effect, that le immediately rose out of the pond to regain the morass. It was now that. David Brown, an African 'wainman, came up; and before the reptile could make a dodge to get away, he threw himself astride oyer his back, snatched wp his fore legs, and held.them doubled up, The beast immediately thrown upon his snout; and though abla to moye fresly his hind-feet, and slap his tail about, he could not buded half a yard, his power being alto- gether spent in a fruitless endeavor to grub himself onward. As he was necessarily con- fined to move a circle, he was pretty nearly held to oue spot. The African kept his seat. His place across the beast being at the shoul- ders, lie was exposed only to severe: jerks asa chance of being thrown off. (In this way a huge reptile eighteen fect long, for so he measured when Ialled, was held mana forts by one man, till Downie reloaded his fowling-piece, and shot him quietly through the brain. You will perceive that this is precisely the feat performed by Mr. Water- on. He says his cayman plunged furious- ly, and lashed the sand with his tail, but that being near the head, he was out of the reich of the strokes of it, and that his plung- ing and striking only made him uncomforta- ble, 'This seemed really almost all the dif- ficulty in David Brown's horsemanship; but as every plunge with him only drove the crocodile's nose into the ground, whereas Mr. Waterton's cayman was kept head up by the people tngging at the hook in his throat, that would make his chivalry a more des- perate adventure than David Brown's, for uis beast's efforts to get forward only more effectually set him fast where he was.-- Gosse's Naturalis?'s Sojourn an Jamaica. A Seeptical Young Man who was con- vorsing with the distinguished Dr. Parr, observed, that he would believe nothing which he could not understand. " Then, young man," said the doctor, "your creed will be the shortest of any man's I know." Ys Instruorion my Aqriccrtorn.--In th kingdom of Prussia there are five Agr tural Colleges, aud a sixth is about opened; in these aré taught, both by th and practice, the highest branches of science | connected with the culttive and improvement | of of the soil; of Agriculttral Schools of a more elementary order, there are ten; there are also seven schools devoted to instruction in the culture of flax; two especially devoted to instruction in the management of meadow lands; one for instruction in the manag'e- ment of sheep; and there are also forty-five model farms, intended to serve in introdue- ing better modes of 'agriculture; in all 71 public establishments for agricultural edu- cation, not to mention others of a kindred nature, or those private schools where the art and science of good farming are taught. Prusssia isa monarchy, with fifteen millions of people. New York is a republie with three millions, and a territory which, though not quite half as large, is richer and better situated, with means of transportation in- comparably superior, Prussia has seventy- one public establishments to instruct her people in farming,--the science of sciences and the art of sig New York has not one, and the proposifin to establish a single agrisultural college has again and again been voted bown in her Legislature.

Lassell, of Liverpool, thas addressed the' following letter to the editor of the Zimes:--May I take the liberty of announcing, through your widely circulated journal, my discovery of two new satellites of the planet Uranus? They are interior to the imnermost of the two briolit satellites first discovered by Sir William Herschel, and generally Inown as the second and fourth. It would appear that they are also interior to Sir Wilhiam's first satellite, to which he assigned a period of revolution of about five days and twenty- one hours, but which satellite I have, as yet, been unable to recognize. I first saw these two, of which I now communicate the dis- covery, on the 25th of last month, and had then littl doubt that they would prove satellites. I obtained further observations of them on: the 28th and 30th of October, and also Jast might (Nov. 2), and. find that for so short an interval the observations are well satisfied by a period of revolution of almost exactly four days for the outermost, and two days and a half for the closest. They 'are very faint objects: certainly: not half the briehtness of the two conspicuous ones; but all the four were last night stea: dily visible in the quieter moments of the air, with a magnifying power of 778 on the 20-foot equatorial. } 1 be por tity of dried codfish exported aicm, the | of St, John's, N. 1"; from Ist yof Januany, 1851 to the 16 September'of the same year, snout 309,901 quintals--tho value of whieh vas probably over £2.60,000, This, of C is entirely independent of the ipimense quantities of salmon,.oil, seal skins, d&e, Which form such large items in the export trade of St. John's.

It is a portion of the provitice of Delhi, and extends to the country lately owned by the Sikhs. Since the year 1842, tea nurseries have been planted and ex- tended in this region, and the plant has thriven wonderfully; the proceeds being regarded as of the finest quality of black tea, After various experiments it was found that the plants first imported were not of a character hardy enough for those heights in such a latitude, and a Mr. Fortune was engaged to go to the north-western regions of China and procure plants more likely to thrive. He succeeded, and returned with 12,000 living plants, an endless vaniety of sceds in a germinating state, and eight tea manufacturers. So that the Himalayan valleys and slopes are likely to become tea-gardens on a gigantic scale. Some samples of the produce were sent to the Hxhibition at London, and the Company hope to offer it in the market soon at the usual prices of good Chinese teas. -- Tun Mormon Ovrracus.--The St, Louis (Mo.)
