Of lqte years a few teak plants were introduced into the Malayan State of Qucda froin Siam, and propagated with some success..

The most abundant supply is however apparently derived from the Mala bar and Coromandel coasts. A great deal is brought down the river Godavery which emp ties into the bay of Bengal in about hit. 16.— I have not been able to discover that it exists either native or exotic, in South America, the West Indies or New Holland. According to Cordncr, it flourishes well in Ceylon where largo plantations of it are to be seen. Bv No one cau be more deeply sensible than my- €onie persons there, it is said to have Leon iu- self, of the dignity and importance of agriculture; troduced by the Dutch, by others to have been none more desirous of contributing in however j found gro in the woods uea small a degree, to advance the most essential of j comuly,. human employments. NIy own experiments as a planter however, have been far too recent, and too little under my personal inspection, to allow me tho slightest hope of presenting any hint, which experience has suggested, and a salutary dread of mere theory will always prevent my of fering any other. Perhaps tho only way in which, for sometime at least,-the Society cau derive any benefit from my exertions, will be by tho transmission of for eign seeds or plants, which our Government now occasionally rccieves through its officers, in con sequence of a recent resolution adopted by the House of Representatives. It will at all times givy me great pleasure to fu nish you with any of these which may promise to he useful, accompanied by such information respecting them, a* eomes withiu my reach. As a commencement, you will rcccivo herewith a packet of seeds of the Teak Tree, (Feetend jgf 'cndtej tile timber of which, is the most valua ble of afiy known i.u India. ' -POPULAR 'DESCRIPTION. The Teak tree is of a stately appearance, having a larg« trunk growing straight to the height of seventy' feet, a great number of branches anil broad leaves. The branches are spreadingand opposite, crossing each other qua- drangularly when young. The leaves are spreading, opposite, stalked, qliptic, oblong, acute, entire, slightly waved, with one rib and many transverse veins.whose subdivisions are finely reticulated: their tipper side rough like a file; lower finely downy, their length is gen erally about a span, hut the leaves on young branches sometimes measure eighteen inches or two feet and nearly half as much i n breadth. Panicles, terminal, hoary, very large and spreading, repeatedly subdivided in an oppo site manner with lanceolate bractcas. Flowers very numerous, comparatively smtill, being scarcely half an inch long; externally hoary, internally yellow. Fruit the sizes of a small cherry, rough brown, in a large, membranous, brown- bladdery' calyx, resembling the Physa- lis Atkcgengi in general shape but hardly so I might Havo sent them somewhat earlier, but i large. In Java the Teak blossoms in the dry • weather, and the fruit forms in November im- will be sold ns usual. E. S. & CO. 10 Sugar, Brandy, Wine, &c. IIIIDS N. O. Sugar, 15 bids N.

Filaments as many as the segments both in the plains anil mountains, though in the latter not above three or four thousand feet above the level of the sea. The wood of the mountain teak is hard hut stunted In its growth, I member when they were launched. Tho heaviness of the wood however has been thought to be in some respects the cause of their dull sailing.” \\ c shall see hereafter that the fact and the hypothesis builc on it are more than doubtful. The wood is not heavier than the oak, though some kinds are heavier than others, and teak ships that hre dull sailors have prohar bly been constructed on had models. Forbes, in his Oriental memoirs says, “Teak is more durable than oak, from its oleaginous quality, preserving the wood and the iron used Triu- j in naval.architecture. The author saw a .-i.ip at Surat; which had been built nearly eightv years, and which, from veneration to its ase and long services, was only employed on an annual voyage to the Reil .Sea to convey the Malicmedan pilgrims to Juddah on their way to Mecca, and then returning with them to Su rat after tlie hodge [Q? Ilarije] or religious ceremonies were over,’ the vessel was oiled and covered up on shore until the next season,-^ According to Crawford, the teak, as compared with the oak, is equally strong, and somewhat more buoyant. Its durability is mors uniform and decided, and to insure that durability it demands less care and preparation, for it may he put in use almost green from the forest; without any danger of dry or wot rot. It is lit to endure all climates and all alternations of climate. The oak on the contrary cracks and is destroyed by such alternations, and particu larly l>y exposure to the rays of a tropical sun. The oak contains an acid which corrodes au*l destroys iron: the teak not only has no such acid hut even contains an essential oil which tends to preserve iron. The great superiority of the oak over the teak, consists in its utility in the fabrication of vessels for holding liquids. The strong odour which the teak imparts to all liquids which are solvents of the essential oil, in which that odour is contained, makes it unfit •to be used for holding them. It makes good water casks, but is unfit for holding wines, or any spirit but arrack, to which it cdmmUmcatts some of that peculiar flavor which some per sons affect to relish. In a very recent work it is said that the 4rwk is light, easily worked, und though porous, strong and durable. It is. easily seasoned and shrinks but liffky , Malabar teak is deemed su perior to every oiiier, and is extensively used that of the plains less firm bnt larger. . This f for ship building at Bombay. Teak ships o has also been observed of the "Mahogany of America. It grows in extensive forests and when on favorable soil is said to exclude every other tree. Though it grows abundantly on the hilly country below the Ghaut mountains, it is said to require a rich soil. In the least fertile part of Java, it either docs not exist at all, or in small quantity and of puny growth.— The great forests of it in that island are in the rich central districts. Dr. Buchanan in Iris journey through My-, ceiie, Carara and Malabar, performed by or der of the Marquis Wellesley, when Governor General of India, for tlic express purpose of investigating- the state of the arts, agriculture and commerce of those provinces, remarks, in relation to the forests in the southern part of Malabar, “The most valuable production of these forests, however, is their timber, of which there are.scveral good kinds; but the Teak is by far the most valuable. To the increase or preservation .of tills, little or no attention has been paid; but about two years ago, an order was issued by the commissioners, prohibiting any trees from being cut .that were.under cer tain dimensions; and trees of the regulated girth, are said by Mr. Warden to he too heavy for the native, carriage. These forests possess a great advantage, in being intersected by ma ny branches of the Party a ni river which in the rainy season are large enough to float, the tim ber down to the sea. AH the hills near the river seem naturally fit for producing the Teak ; forty years old and upwards are not uncommon on the Indian seas. Some men of war havo been built of teak, and have answered exceed ingly well, except that they are said to be vati.v er heavy sailors; betas teak timber is Jiglr?,* this has probably been owing to some delect . in their forui’f A recent article on ship timber y: the United Service Journal!speakshighly-oftha teak: Be sides the other excellent qualities above attri buted to. it; and which it is unnecessary to re peat, the writer says, “The variety of it called jticon, from its mild and straight grain, is %'ery superior for masts to Jablanas, Riga, Ameri can, or indeed any other known wood; tho weight is against it for topmasts; hut wc were in a ship, where on the suggestion of the well known jtmsatjnb Jlomanjce it wav tried with success: “If you get it aloft” said he, “it wiiJ never go without the lower masts.” Ue adds, “Wc remember seeing at Bombay a fine coun try ship, of about five hundred tons burtkeh, which was constructed of teak upwards of forty years before, and was then found to be iu per fect condition, and without the slightest weak ness or ailment. We. ourselves sailed in a fri gate built of tins material, for four years in various stations, and upon arduous service, which would have destroyed any of our con tract ships, and yet w r e left her as sound as a ncW ship.
