~~Q B , <SO CB is thb Az.jrks.—Nowhere nranee's more important than in the i r ' res These islands live on them, bcth Erectly as food and indirectly as a pro fitable industry. Just as in other parts wor !d a man's wealth is reckoned hVt’te number of sheep, cattle or horses i -ch he can call his own, so here the orange tree forms the unit of value. You '’o not say, such a one is worth several thousand pounds, but that he has a quinta containing so many tree?. High ffnd low, rich and poor, alike derive tH-ir income from oranges. Whether it to aood or evil, the population are ccr luiulv not “divorced from the soil ’in the Azores, for while the proprietor has >. ; i thousand or fifteen hundred steins, The peasant rejoices in the “tints that did the greenest bough”, upon his own ( Sozen or half dozen trees. During the year when the orange trees are yielding do fruit, maize or beans are grown be ;weeu their ranks, but seldom after wards, unless the owners be very poor ~r ve ry greedy. The islanders devote their whole time, thought and energies to the cultivation of the orange, and watch over the trees with great care and anxiety, to preserve them from the vio lence of the elements or the ravages of that destructive insect, thh coccus. The crop is generally bought by merchants before it has reached maturity, and there :L re professional valuers who have at tained great precision in calculating the produce of each tree. After the bargain is made, however, the weather or the in sects may play sad havoc with the quinta, and cause heavy loss to the purchaser. The well known St. Michael •' ranges, are from the largest of the Azores, which upon an area ot 229 miles, yields annually oranges to the value of about $450,000, and to the number of marly 300,000,000. A seventh of this quantity is usually consumed by the in habitants ; the rest exported. There is a defect in the city charter of Burlington, Vt., which renders it mill auu void, and us the people have voted the town out of existence, there are no local authorities to enforce the laws. rfn. bellows’ & co. ~ / v.

By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the uudersign-ed lias assumed the General Sub scription Agency for the sale of United States Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three-tenths per cent, interest, per annum, known as the SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN. These Notes are issued under dale of August l 'th, 1*464, and we payable three years from that time, in currency, or are convertible at the option of the holder into UNITED STATES 5-‘io SIX PER CENT. GOLl>-BEARING HO.VJ S. These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per cent., including gold interest from Nov., which makes the actual profit on the T-30 loan, at current race, including interest, about ten tier «ect per annum, besides exemption from State and ‘YUMiicrpal taxation, which adds from one to three per pent. mori\ according to the rate levied on other property. The interest is payable semi annually by coupons attached to each note, which may be cut off and sold to any bank or banker. The interest amounts to One cent, per day on a SSO note.

This is THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET now offered by the Government, and it is confi dently expected that its superior advantages will moke it the GREAT POPULAR LQAN OF THE PEOPLE. Less than $2,000,000 remain unsold, which will probably be disposed of within the next GO or 9) days, when the notes will undoubtedly command a premium, as has uniformly been the case on closing the subscription to other Loans. In order that citizens of every town and sec tion of the country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the country have generally agreed to receive sub scriptions at par.
