The witty editor of the Boston Lounger makes the following jatiral remarks upon the project for laying an additional tax upon Bach elors: “Bachelors must be taxed doubtless; but the deuce of it is, have the wretches got sufficient cash, credit or friends, to pay the.exaction!— The wholo vagabond race of them are eter nally whining about poverty, until people are worn to death witli their querulousncss. Would it not be bettor to havo them publicly whipped and ‘branded! Or, (as tboy continuo to burn up widows in India,) suppose we have an an nual bonfire of bachelors! This last project would bo agreeable to ancient singlo ladies. “Since tbo last 29th of February, the in crease of bachelors in this city lias been so considerable as to excite the most lively appre hensions in the bosoms of the fair. Tho num ber of those infatuated young men, in propor tion to those actually married or-mortgaged, was ascertained at the time of taking tho cen sus, to be something like the quantity of rotten lemons in a fresh box, which is much more than enough to affect the comfort of society.— If bachelors will be so intolerably wilful as to shrink from entering into the married state, maugre tho goodness of tho times and the en couragement of tho fair, it is but reasonable they should bo numbered and taxed liko dogs. Mr. Slocum’s plan of'filling tho public treasu ry, by picking tho pockets of tho pennyless, strikes us as peculiarly ingenious. YVo pray that it may bo carried into immediate opera tion, before the crippled and mcatyo rate of Benedicts shall have time to crawl off to a more congenial climate.” Improvement on the Cli«rw<-yAftcr the nu merous patents and premiums for improved churns, it may seem difficult to find any thing worthy of attention; I, however, have never met xvitirtlio following, which, as it is simple and useful, may possibly be an acceptable hint to some of your readers in the country. Lot tho dasher of an ordinary churn with holes in it, have a second dasher placed above it, on tho same handle, about four inches distance; a couplo of pins will hold it to its place while in use. Tiiis second dasher having no' holes, tho cream which passes through tho lowpr one strikes against it, and produces a groat agita tion, which saves much timo- in churning.— New York Times. THE COLOUR OF CATTLE. A writer in the New England Farmor, un der (Jie signature of Agricola, attributes much importance to tho colour of cattle:—“Having been for some years a considerable traveller in New England, I have noticed that the best farmers always have the best cattle. Where you find, as in YVorccster county, large-barns, strong walls, square lots, great crops of rowen, huge wood piles, fat horses, well painted hou ses, nnd all tlie ordinary indications of plenty and independence; you invariably find red or broum oxen and cows. Selections from his calves, for three or four years, of red, brown, or brindlc, by any farmer,-will soon teach him the value of the expedient: a bright red* is to be preferred; but next to this, tho brown, and then tho mixture of both, (tho brindlc,) which Is an excellent hardy colour for working oxen. No purchaser of oxen or cows overlooks the article of colour.” Great Feast at Moscow.—The St. Petcrs- burgli Jonmal of thcvllth inst contains a min ute nnd curious account of a Grand Feast, giv en to the populace of Moscow, on the 28th September: ,-r “Moscow Sept. 29.—Yesterday the rejoi cings and festivities for tho people, in the large square called Devitchiepole; took place in the centre of which a handsome tent was erected for their Majesties and the imperial Families. There were galleries for the'spectators, tents for tho bands of music, fountains of rod and white wine, theatres, air balloons, &f, &c.; also 240 tables, each 10 fathoms in length, ill tliecojntre.of each waia'sheop roasted whole, tho horns gilt the head silvered, and the body covered with red Damask; on each side a vase, containing two barrels of beer, a sugar ed cake in the form of a flower pot with roses, a birch treo loaded witli apples, a dish contain ing 30 roast fowls, 4 geese, and 4 ducks,'with a gilt fowl at tho top; then a vase containing 2 barrels of mead, an oak loaded witli plqms, two hams, a vessel containing two barrels of beer,'a birch tree bearing pears, a dish of jelly, a small oak treo bcariug apples, a piece of boiled meat weighing 60 lbs. On'cach table there word 190 xvliito loaves, and 40 .white rolls. Tito crowd began to arrive at day break, and tho carriages at 9 o’clock. Tlie Emperor, on horseback, followed tho carriage of tho Empresses, who arrived at noon, and wore received with the,loudest acclamations; after going round tho square they went into thoir tent, on which a standard xvas hoisted; at this signal the people approached tho tables, and the diversions began, It is calculated that about two hundred thousand persons were in the square. There were distributed among tho people, 240 sheep, 480 Sugar cakfc>,t£s ma ny, piocos - of boiled-meat of GO lb. each, and dishes gf jolly; 7i200 fowls, 1,000 geese, 1,000 ducks, roasted ; 46,000 apples, as many plums and pears; 4,000 barrels of boor; do of mead ,-2,420 do. . of. xvino; 2,490 white loaves; 9,600 small whito joax cs, and as many Definition of a Woman—A wickea old Greek writer’gave tho followim; very singular definition: VWomau U au Biiuud delighting in finery.”.

BRITISH NORTH AMERIC A. The New York Albion asserts, that “not content with opening canals, erecting fortifica tions and resorting to various other measures for the internal advancement of the country, his majesty’s ministers now contemplate, the most importabt changes in the form and sys tem of tlie local government of the British North American provinces. Couceiving that the welfare of these fine provinces would be pro moted, if placed under one general, vigorous and effective government, they have formed the plan of uniting them into one confederate system. “Each province will still retain its own lo cal government and two legislative bodies as they at present exist, witli some modifications; but it will be required to send a certain num ber of delegates to tlie place of general govern ment to enact laws for tho whole. At the head of this grand confederation will be placed some distinguished individual appointed by the crown.” Some speak of Halifax as the seat of.the general go.vernmcut, others of Quebec, others of Montreal. SUGAR CANE. ‘ From the Edit Florida (St. Augustine) Herald. - Wo published in our last paper an article from an Alabama paper, respecting the cotton growth of that state. In that article it is re commended to chango tho staple to that of su gar, and in this such experiments have been made as are deemed sufficient to provo that tho canc can be cultivated there to greater advan tage to the country. Experiments have been made os far north as South Carolina. Considering tlie vast advantage of tlie sugar culture over tdl other articles of domestic pro duct, we havo been somewhat surprised, that more serious attention has not been bestowed upon it; but in the United States it is as diffi cult to pe^suado the people to look to thoir truo interests as it would be to make the people in England believe that they could exist indepen dent of her manufacturing establishments. But that the southern states will finally bo com pelled to resort to other means of subsistence than that producod by cotton, wo have no doubt. Tho fluctuations in tho price of this articlo, have been ruinous to so many, that it behooves the southern planter to save himself, from tho consequences of a continued culture of it. Whilp the southern planters therefore, per sist in striving against hope, what will bo the did thereof. YVith the obligation resting up on them to sustain and furnish employment for a largo number of dependents, and without a- ny adequate returns for the expohditurcwhich humanity ond'necessity force upon them, tho result most inevitably be minus. The picture would bo inglorious to Ameri can enterprize, were the materials drawn from tho present condition and future prospects of tlie southern planters; there can be so easy a transition from one staple to another. The consumption of sugar in tho United States is about equal to the export of cotton. As long thcroforo' as the price of cotton is nominal, is it not folly to persist in cultivating it, when a staple can be so easily introduced that will-find a steady homo market! . In 1814 the consump tion of sugar was,Estimated by Mr. Pitkin at about seventy millions of pounds.* - Let the planter;then sum up the account, and see whether it xvould not be better for him to abandon his worn out lands and settle upon that which is calculated to reward his toils by changing tho cottou for sugar cane. * To this estimate there may be added an annual consumption of from ten to fifteen millions of gallons of molasses and rum, the produce of the sugar cane. CONGRESS. Florida Canal.—Tho surveyors directed by lieutenant Scarlc, have gone abroad to com plete the survey of tiiis interesting subject of intornal improvement.
