NEW ENGLAND PARMER. 



thing of a similar nntiirn the winged insect,] 

 which is Ihc parenl of lh« l.orer, might not be 

 able to penetrate the hark, to leave the nit or 

 egg from wliich the worm is produced. 



We have since Ihe time of our excursion to 

 .Mr. Prince's, had Ihe pleasure of an interview 

 with a practical and scienlilic ag-rirulluriM, who 

 .says that the insect which is the parent of the 

 borer is a Beetle, of the species called b.v BufTon, 

 and other naturalists, Capricornus, which flies 

 only in the day time, while most of the genus fly 

 only in the night. This kind, therefore, cannot 

 he destroyed by lighting fires in the night as 

 has been ingeniously suggested by Mr. Harris. 

 This gentleman is likewise of ojiinion that For- 

 syth's composition (consisting of fresh cow dung, 

 lime, wood ashes, and sand,) apjdied early in the 

 spring and again in September might prevent 

 the puncture of the beetle, and thus preserve 

 the tree from the grub or borer. His experi- 

 ments, however, for the purpose of ascertaining 

 whether the composition would prove effectual 

 for that purpose have not been long enough con- 

 tinued to enable him to assert it as a fact. 



Diso.v's STKAM Exr.iNE. Mr. .ToBiiih DLxon (of 

 ■whose newly invented Steam apparatus we gave some 

 notice psge 238, of the second volume of the N. E. Far. 

 mer) has applied his machinery to driving a boat to 

 very goodefTect. We have witnessed its operations, 

 and believe it will answer every purpose which was 

 anticipated by the ingenious inventor. W e intend to 

 «-ive some further remarks op his invention, which want 

 of room obliges us to ^efer till our next. 



Thunder Slorm inA'tw York.— On the 23d inst. the 

 city of New York was visited by a thunder storm, 

 which was of long continuance and unprecedented vio- 

 lence. It commenced about 1 o'clock, and continued 

 till late in the evening. The lightning struck, and 

 set on fire the stores of Messrs. Goodhue & Co. and 

 Messrs. Hoyt & Tom, in South street. The bells rung 

 and the fire engines were drawn through the streets in 

 the severest part of the storm. The lightning also 

 struck the house of Mr. Janeway in Chatham street 

 and several other buildings in the city. At the foot 

 of Maiden Lane,the water descended in torrents, many 

 cellars were filled, and much damage done to goods, &c. 



Powder Mnf;asines. — Considerable excitement !ecDis 

 to prevail in Brooklyn on Long-Island inconsequence 

 of its havng been made a general repository for raw- 

 DER. It is said that in the different magazines in that 

 town there are stored between 3 and 4000 casks of gun- 

 powder, exclusive of what is contained in the magazine 

 belonging to the United States, which is larger than 

 any of the others. A Committee of the town have 

 made a report on the subject, and an effort will un- 

 doubtedly be made to effect the removal of the powder 

 to some place v.'here S3 many lives will not be exposed. 



Boston Telegraph. 



A destructive had storm passed through a section of 

 Connecticut, on Tuesday afternoon, which did consid- 

 erable injury to the corn fields, &c. and to the win- 

 dows of houses. We hear of its progress from Green- 

 ■n'ich, and Stamford, as far as Hartford. Some of the 

 hail stones which fell at Stamford, measured eight inch- 

 es in circumference. 



TVte Hussar Frigaie. — The enterprising party who 

 luidcrtook to raise, by means of diving bells, the trea- 

 sures contained in this vessel, sunk at Hurl-Gate 

 during the Revolutionary War, meet with encourage- 

 ment in their labors. They have succeeded in raising 

 Eeveral valuable articles. 



FOREIGN. 



Frojn Europe, — Bj' a late arrival at N'ew Yorlt, pa- 

 pers from Gibraltar have been received to the 24tli of 

 .lune. They furnish iiitilligence of some interest, 

 Ihnugh shcy announce no very i:nportant events. — 

 'I'Ik following is a brief sketch of what is worthy of 

 nol*. 



I'ranee. — By an order of the King, dated June C, 

 Ifi'-M. ihe Vi.^ronnt De Chataubrland is removed from 

 the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs, the duties of 

 wliich arc confided to M. Villde, Minister of Finance. 

 This nirasure was wry sudden, and s'iid to be unex- 

 pected by the Minister. Tlie nrgligence or unwilting- 

 ness of the Viscount to support a men*ure fur the re- 

 duction of the public debt is the alledgcd cause of 

 the dismissal. 



SpaJn. — According to accounts by the way of Paris, 

 of June 7th, Spain has become pretty quiet, and her 

 " aff.^irs appear a« well conducted as those of any of 

 the neighboring ration? ; notwithstanding the moun- 

 tains which k-tter writers ar." daily in tlie habit of fnli- 

 licaling out of mole hills, and sometimes out of their 

 own fertile fancies to the contrary." 



Porliigal. — The late attempt? at revolution in Portu- 

 gnl have proved wholly abortive. The King and the 

 old constitution are re-established in full power. The 

 Quf-en and young Prince have lost their ascendancy, 

 and the latter has arrived at Ilrest, and, says a Paris 

 paper, " will be put to school for the i.-nprovement of 

 his temper and manners." 



Greeks and Turks. — It appears that the Turks are 

 preparing to make extraordinary efforts to overpower 

 the descendants of Leonidas, and the latter are mak- 

 ing preparations to meet their enemies with the degree 

 of energy and affect which the crisis demands. The 

 Turks will be able to take the field witii greater force 

 in consequence of having settled their differences with 

 Russia and Persia. It is likewise said that they will 

 receive increased assistance from Egypt. The pros- 

 pect is that the next campaign will be very sanguina- 

 ry. In Candia, it is reported, the Egyptian nrmy has 

 driven the natives into the mountains, and many hun- 

 dreds of Greek families have taken refuge in the 

 neighboring island of Milo. An article dated Malta, 

 May 4th, says — " a brig under English colours has ar- 

 rived here from Candia, and reports that the warfare 

 in that island was not going on favorably for the 

 Greeks, and that some of their reinforcements have 

 quitted the island." Another article from the same 

 place states that " an English bombard from Candia 

 gives the delads of the operations of the Egyptian 

 troops in that island under Osman Bey : — and we 

 grieve to say, that the victory of the Turks was follow- 

 ed by fresh massacres, and that those vessels, having 

 fugitive Greeks on board fell into the hands of the 

 Egyptian squadron." 



Mcrieo. — A merchant at Havana writes to his friend 

 at Norfolk, under date of June 30, that Mexico ap- 

 pears to be in a distracted state. 7?rflTO, it appears, 

 has been named Dictator ; a rising has taken place at 

 Guadalaxara in favor of Ilurbide^ and Victora had 

 marched against them. Santa Ana has gone to take 

 command of the troops at Yutucan. It is said that 

 Alvarado has suffered the same fate as Tampico, viz : 

 nearly destroyed by fire. 



Latest from Europe. — Since the above was in type 

 we learn by the N. Y. Statesman, that London dates 

 have been received in New York, by a late arrival to 

 the 30th of June. The following is extracted ajid 

 abridged from the editors notice of the intelligence re- 

 ceived by that arrival. 



The petition of the London merchants, for the re- 

 cognition of South American Independence had been 

 presented in the House of Commons, and Mr. Canning 

 had declared that the ministers had waited long 

 enough for the example of Spain, and Great Britain 

 was now at liberty to pursue her own counsels. 



Accounts from Greece state that the Turks who 

 had effected a landing in Candia and Negropont were 

 repulsed at the place firslmentioned with great slaugh- 

 ter by the troops under Ulysses. The Turks are said 

 to have abandoned >11 idea of invading the Morea the 

 present seaso*. 



The reported defeat of the English troops on the 

 Cape Coast by the Ashaufccshad been fully coi.f,rmed. 



'Ihe widow of the gaHant Riego was thought to be 

 at the point of death. She had received every atten- 

 tion in England which her circumstances required. 



Accounts ff.-im Galway, (Ireland.) give a frightful 

 picture of the distress of tlie people in that part of 

 Irclau.I. Irom f> vi r and the want of provisions. Star- 

 vation must inevitably ensue unless speedy relief 

 could be obtained.
