We learn that John Prince, Esq. of Boston, has put 



into operation a set of Patent Mills for hulling and clean- 

 inir Rice, near the Free Bridge, South Boston. By the 

 politeness of E. Hersy Derby, Esq. we have been shown 

 a specimen of the rice hulled at these Mills. It is pro- 

 nounced by judges to be "1" a good quality, and lias the 

 advantage of being fresher than that which is hulled at 

 the place of culture. Mr. Prince has erected a steam- 

 engine, of about eighteen horse power, and we arc glad 

 to see that machine, so powerful in the aid it affords to 

 the labors of man, so generally and extensively intro- 

 duced into the capital. The great number already erect- 

 ed, and the profitable use made of them, give assurance 

 of a much more general introduction. A single steam- 

 engine, even of a small power, oftentimes gives employ- 

 ment to some twenty or thirty operatives, each one 

 maintaining himself, and often a whole family. With 

 anthracite coal and steam-engines, a town or city might 

 be built up, and kept in a prosperous condition. 



Mr. Prince has published a hand-bill, stating the terms 

 on which he disposes of iiis rice, accompanied with re- 

 ceipts for using- rice flour, which is ground at his estab- 

 lishment. — Salem Register. 



A severe frost in Louisiana and Mississippi has caused 

 immense injury to the cotton crops, heretofore consider- 

 ed as promising abundantly. ' The damage, it is siad. 

 will exceed 20 per cent. 



Tea Wheat. This species of wheat is, we believe, pe- 

 culiar to New Brunswick. Some years ago, a person in 

 that province, on opening a chest of tea, found in the 

 corner a small quantity of wheat ; how it got there no 

 one can tell, whether in London on the chest being 

 opened by the East India Company, or in China, is 

 equally uncertain ; but the seed was sown in New Bruns- 

 wick ; it ffrew and flourished better than any previously 

 sown. The produce was preserved, sown again, and 

 multiplied so rapidly, that it is at the present time the 

 kind of seed wheat generally sown, and known by the 

 distinction of " Tea Wheat." — Montreal Vindicator. 



A man named William Morton, convicted of the mur- 

 der of Abner Jarvis, was publicly executed near Greens- 

 borough, Alabama, on the 25th ult. Under the gallows 

 the unfortunate culprit remarked, that he had no doubt, 

 from the evidence that he had killed Jarvis ; yet, he had 

 no recollection of the fact, being at the time under the 

 influence of ardent spirit. 



The great Pyramid of Egypt cost the labor of one 

 hundred thousand men for twenty years exclusive of 

 those who prepared and collected the materials. The 

 steam engines of England, worked by thirty-six tliou- 

 sind men, would raise the same quantity of materials to 

 the same height in eighteen hours.

STEAM RICE MIL1., AT SOUTH BOSTON. 



THE subscriber having purchased the Patent Rice Machines 

 of Messrs. Strong, Moody &. Co. of Northampton, with the 

 exclusive privilege of using them in Boston and a large vicini- 

 ty, has put them in operation at South Boston, near the Free 

 Bridge. It is well known that rice' in its rough siaie. or with 

 its outer hull on. will keep many years, and that alter been 

 cleaned, it is subject (particularly m warm weather) to weavil, 

 and oilier insects, and is usually pul in bail casks — he therefore 

 hopes, by having this article always in a fresh state, in casks of 

 different sizes, to meet with a ready sale, 'fhe mode of clean- 

 ing being entirely different from any other now in use in any 

 other country, the grain is kept quite whole and very clean. It 

 will be put in good casks of usual size, for export ; also in bar- 

 rels and half barrels, and in bags of 100 lbs. each, {which may 

 be returned ;) also ground ml" fine Flour, in quarter barrels- 

 it will be delivered in any part of the city, for a reasonable 

 charge., and will not be sold in smaller quantities. Also, the 

 fine Bran, or Flour, so called in the Southern States, being the 

 inner coat of the grain, excellent food for horses, cows, hogs, 

 sheep and poultry — and the outer Hull, a prime article lor 

 packing glass, crockery, bottles and fruit, and is believed will 

 prove valuable in making Coarse Paper, will be sold at a low 

 price in large quantities. 



This Rice is particularly recommended for whaling ships 

 and others going long voyages, as from being highly polished, 

 and free from dust anil flour, and being put into their tight iron- 

 bound casks, it will be free from any insects, until exposed to 

 air. 



ILT An Order Box is placed in Mr. Roger's Foreign Feller 

 Office in the area of the City Hall, and a sample of the Rice in 

 several Insurance offices. State street. JOHN PRINCE.
