A R.nmlo look on the map of the lu nau IZ is BuQicicnt to show that the southern those points which are naturally marked out as I maritime centre. It maybe justly said that the port of Point de Gnlle must Indispensably te rf orted to as a plane of provision or refuse by all steamers which come from or go to Calcutta and S.npapore. Unlortunately, while Trincomale on ithe eastern shore oll. rs a very ae ancborinft place, the harbor ol Point do lnlle is narrow, incommodious, even dancer- when the Southeast trade winds prevail, o that bhips are obliged to thro w out anchors ahead and astern. But while the snllor look with rather douUful satislactlon on thl.i, tne tourist w:ith unmixed admiration beholds the Bulrndid panorama which is presented before his eves. Whether he came from Europe over Bum, '"here he saw nothing but tne sterile rocks ol Aden; or whether lie lelt behind the Suuda htraits with their flowery Idlauds. Cevlon will oiler to bib view new objects of admirat.on. It is true, the sea is of the same deep sapphire blue as at Penaus?, and the hhores, with their never iadni? verdure, are reflected lrom its brilliant surUce as well there as here. But in Ceylon he will find tho mountain fcenery which is wautine in the somewhat elleojinato landscape of the fcunaa Islands. Krora the territory arise the massive heiuhts of the Handy mountain ran?e, over, topped by the Pic of Adam, wliicli towers high up Into the sky. . One of the most enclianttoe roads In the world is that alonar the western shores of the Bea which connects the capital, Colombo, with Point de Galle. The colouy is indebted to the English administration ior this road as well as for all the other means ot communication on the island. Similar to a park alley between Point de Galle and Colombo, for an uninter runted liue of seventy miles, this road on both Bides Is shaded by high palm trees, tbo interval! between which are tilled out as with a curtain by orchidaceous plants and othsr creepers. On bis r pht hand the traveller perceives the mas sive centre of the Kandy Mountains, and on his left tli sea constantly animated by the move ments of those fishing boats of an original con struction which are culled catamarans. Tho villages ore surrounded by clusters ol cocoa and areca trees. When he approaches the capital, the eld Dutch villas are succeeded by more modern constructions. At last be arrives at the charming village of Colpetty, which is sheltered by a dome of gigantic tamarind trees, aud at once he Amis himsell belore the fortided front of tho city, on the plain of Galle 1 aas, covered over with a thick carpet ol convolvulas and their brilliant red flowers. Neither Galle nor Colombo possess a character of remarkable orieiualitv; well-preserved forti fications, in the interior "some churches built in the seventeenth century, largo ttreets shaded by hibiscus trees one hundred years old, the classic houses of one story of the tropical cli mates, with verandahs anil pillired porticoes this is the general aspect ot the two cities, of which the second is much more important than the first. Tne great charm of Ceylon, to tho Btranper, lies in its natural beauty much less, however, on the sea 6hore, where nature has been tamed and brought under culture, than in the virgin forests where she is still in Iter pti niitivft state. Kothing is so beautiful as thoso jmmense masses of verdure which, when seen from the top of an eminence, in soft undula tions reach as iar as tDe horizon. Kothing can do full justice to the impression which is produced on tho traveller when he penetrates under these secular canopies, hieh aud solemn like cathedrals, where, even at noon, the rays of the sun only 6hed a faint and doubtful light. In the .midst of these forests live the Vcddas, the laBt descendants of the natives, who are Btill to-day as savage as they were two thousand years ago, when their ancestors were driven back into the interior of the island by the In dian conqueror Wijayo, five hundred and forty three years before Christ. Here yon find also the imposing ruins of the ancient capitals ot Ceylon, Pollanarrua and Anuradhapura, which testify of the splendor of a past civilization. Tho first of these cities covered a space of thirty miles in length and four in breadth. The place where the palaces stood Is marked by walls covered with rich sculptures, that of the tem ples or viharas by colossal statues of Buddha, titty feet hiiih. The bronze palace, built by tho King Gatmoonoo, reposed on 1600 pillars of granite, erected In forty parallel lines, and which contained not less than 900 apartments, distributed in nine stories, one above the other. The building receive! its name from the metallic roof which covered the whole. In Anurad hapura, a whole mouutaln, that of Mihintitla, had been cut out for a temolo, while the re mains of another uot less gigantic pagoda, that of Maha Stoopa, would actually furui-.li euouiru bricks to construct a wad ten feet high and one toot thick from London to Edinburgh. Ol all constructions the most remarkub'e, whose de struction is the most to be regretted, were the vast water reservoirs which formerly secured to the whole island nn inexhaustible fertility. These were real artificial lakes of ten, fifteen, and twenty miles in circumlerence, which fur nished tne water for the canals of Irrigation in eutlicient quantity to fertilize whole province which India is to-day obliged to provide with rice necessary to feed its inhabitants. There were tormcily distributed over the island thirty of these artificial lakes, and six to seven huu- i.i5.,'"'m .p. b , ,'rs-ft complete system of w..Uu. xm.- i uriugueso aim Dutch allowed these lualMwiwablo .and useful constructions to i. in rum, anu the English Government ra- . cui.riuous expenses, which, for there-edification of the dike of P.niiv 1 1 were estimated at thirty-two millions ot francs; Vn thousand working men during five years woul 1 l,o tx.or. n,.lrnrl 1.

More preoccupied wi'.h the propagation of their religious creel than with the interests of commerce, they may boast of havinir lounded there a Catholicism which for 200 years victoriously resisted the ruling Protestant Governments.

In their possessions to the plaius en the sea shores, were oDiigea 10 nan at the root of the mountain reelon which formed the interior Kingdom of Kandy. xue bngiitth only suc ceeded in perfecting its conquest after the Trfi of 1815. The King who then reWned. the last heir of a crown which, from sovereiyu to Foverelen, had been transferred during a period of 2J57 years, was called Hrl VV.krama Kaja Kiugha. Ho was dethroned and impri soned in the Indian fortress or Vellore, where ho lived till 1H32. His subjects saw in his downfall, not tho loss of an independence by which they profited but little, but rather tne end of a baled and detested tyranny, for bis rtlgn was but a long scries ef tho most sangui nary atiocit.es. While submitting the, whole Uland lo their rule, tho English had good scn'e enough to declare that religion worship should remain absolutely tree. Ceylon lias, in laet, been the prtmisid land of Buddhism since the time it was first introduced there 316 before Christ. There, on the top of the lofly rack which crowns the Pic of Adam, Is found the reverent Impress on which tho toilowcru of 8akjt Mooni perceive the footprint of Bmidha as clearly as the Brah mins see in it that ot Hiva. and the Mohamme dans that of Adam. The loot print sheltered by an open pngoda has not less than five feet in length, tine pets to U by means of iron chains through a staircase hewn into the rock, and the pilgnmace is usually terminated by an offering of rhododendron flowers. In Ceylon, near Anuradhapura. is seen also the tree Bodiii, facred above all others, and certainly hiitorl cally Ihc oldest of the vegetable kingdom, since authentically it was planted 288 years before ( brist. Lastly, in Kandy, in a special temple, thcfc is preserved in the innermost part of the sanctuary, the Dulada, tho tooth ot the same Sakja Aiooni, miraculously preserved from the pile where the rest of his body was burned. Those who bavu hud tho original good fortune to look at it, report that it is two inches in length, and seems rather to have been taken out ol the jaw ot acrocodile than lrom a human mouth; probably its size has been proportioned to that of the lootprint ot which we just made mention. Cinnamon, which for so long was the glory nna the wealth of Ceylon, figures to-day on the list ol the products ot the island only for memory's sake; and the history ot its grandeur, followed by lis full, is fertile in economical in structions, of which Great Britain was wise enough to profit. Under the Government of the Dutch, any encroachment on the monopoly which it laid claim to was punlsued with the utmost severity. The English administration, less sever!, nevertheless preserved this mono poly up to the year 1832. and then renounced it only in the firm conviction that nature had pitied Ceylon with this precious tree to the ex clusion of all other colonies; but some other countries, above all Java, very soon destroyed thi3 illusion, and the Government which un wisely htd taxed the exportation of cinnamon with 3s. per pound, in a very short time saw itself outflanked by competition. Vainly it de creased the duties, vaiaiy it sold, one after the otlicr, Its si lendld cinnamon gardens of 15 to 20 miles In circumference the hen with 'the golden eggs had been killed, the gardens wero cut down and transformed into villas, and the whole of the crop, the taxes on which formerly were sufficient to pay more than the half of tho expenses ot the colony, since 18G3 amounts not even lo more than one million of francs. Another source ot wealth seems likewlso to have dried up, at least for the present; we meaa the pearl fishery which, on the northwest coast of the island, trom Negombo to MaLaar. wa9 carried on from time immemorial. Still, in the year 1863, it paid taxes to the extent of 1,275,000 francs: but, in 1864, whether the fishing had passed the limits of moderation, or for any other reason, the fact could no longer be denied that this precious oyster had disappeared and since that time it has not reappeared. This double mishap was fortunately amply compensated by the extraordinary development which the English gave to the production of co flee. Their predecessors had not been in the situa tion to direct their attention to this object on account of their not being the masters of tho central part ot the island, the only portion where the nature of the soil is favorable to this branch of culture. Great Britain began with it in 1815; from 1625 the Governor of Ceylon, Sir Edward Barnes, understood that the future of the island was therein, and ha gave it a strong impulse by establishing himself, on his private estates in Gangaroova, the firet somewhat im portant plantation iu the country. His exam ple rapidly found imitation: all the mountains around Kandy, as well as roost ot the large val leys in the interior, were soon covered with cof lce plantations, and durlug seeral years twenty thousand hectares of laud belonging to the crown were yearly sold and immediately cleared for cultivation of coilee. Circumstances favored this rapidly rising new culture. At the very time wheu the metropolis considerably reduced the import duties on coffee the comoetitlon of the other cotlee pro ducing countries was paraljzed by the question of emancipation and by the abolition of the slave trade, while, on the contrary, Ceylon In cessantly received new laborers from India, eo that lrom year to year me exportation in created, and in the year 1803 reached a value of 53,000,000 ot francs. At no time nau cinnamon ever given such splendid results, and if the prophecies of the culonibts may be relied upou, within a very short time tney mienu to reacn a yearly production of 100,000 tons of cotlee, valued at more man iio,uuu,uuu oi irancs. The averaue crop ot brazil amounts to izt.uuu toi s per year; but during these latter times, the production has remained stationary. That of Java, which seems to decrease, is 57,000 tons. mi : . , i -X' ..1 1 . 1. - 1. ine loiai yeany crui uiau me countries iu me wrria wmcn prouuee cuuee, is esumaiuu uv 350,000 tons. in ttis enumeration ot tne products or ueyion it would be unjust not to mention the favoiite tree of its inhabitants the precious cocoa tree t wmcn tne lsmna is supposed to possess twenty millions. Although, in the list of colo- nlul products, it figures lar behind that ofcollee, nevertheless the production of cocoanut oil within the last fifteen years has increased ten fold, and amounted, in 1857, to over five millions ol Irancs. Besides, tbauks to the variety of em ployments for which it Is used, this tree Is the Providence of the natives, who show it their giatetulueis by an attachment the supersti tious expression ot which has something touching in it. According to them, the tree languishes and dies when H is beyond the reach ot human voice, and never survives when the muster to whom it gave its fruit goes aoroan. Thus while, on the ono hand, fortune pro vided Ceylon with new sources of riches, on the other it took away from it old ones, such as cin lamon and the pearl oyster. As to its precious stones, whose reputation goes bajk to the re motest antiquity, and which were vaunted by Marco Polo iu such an enthusiastic manner, they yield today scarcely more than 250,000 irancs per year, tiere and there some are stm found, aud the English, who visit Neuera-Ellia to spenu tne summer, there make it their pas- umo to search tor them; but the microscopic fragments ot sapphires and topazes which are the remit of their etlorts will never enrich any uiic. iu unoiuer nan oi tne lsim ci ine camia of the district, which formerly was the richest in precious ftones, still preserves its siirnifioiut nauio of Ratnupoora (the City of Rubies). Hut JJ ? iUOW ,l0ll'ing more than a mere tradition, and it is not uecessary to be a very experienced iMeiier In cider to appreciate at their just ,',e1ao"httul specimens which the natives ??ii.!!lcie u'e ee f the inexperienced Anotuor fallen Klory of Ceylon is the ele phant, wUo, If Le bus not entirely disappeared Iroui tbo colony before tho progress ot civili zation, at lean i made much. leB use of than formerly. In Point de Guile and Colombo ele puauts are seen but exceptionally; they are reproached with frlnhtening the horses, and the jMifciii u, iu 1'iuanic manner, declare that the latter, near cities, are morn rmi more utetul. For the local service about sixt elephants were formerly kept, while today their number for tho tame purpose amounts scarcely to more than a dozen, and althousri there may still be nisny in the interior of the island in their lavnpe state, one would proba bly no longer see those eplendtd herdi of two buudred heads, of which, during the first times of the English occupation, frequent mention Is made. Hir Koiersoa Teunant gives a itvely description of one of the last great elephant hunts which took place. Ou such occhbIous nothiugis more curious tbun the intelligence with which the tamed elephants luliil their paitln these delicate operations, wMc.h with out their aid would be almost impossiti.. They seem lo enjoy it greatly. Following tho scene with a vigilant eye, they protect, It it is nec ssnry, the man who Is chunrcd with tho dangerous task of tjb g the running-knot round the foot of the prisoner, and with marvellous dexterity Ihey seize the moment when, the running-knot being thrown, ihey mnt strain the rope of which they hold ihe other end. Their ereat compo.-ure forms a striking contra t with the rage of the prisoners, and from their atr of satisfaction jou would wiilinely believe that they enjoy the success they obtain. Hiuele hunters also kill large numbers of elephant and ibis massacre would tuvo been mucn more considerable, had Nature gifled these animals in Ceylon, ns in A'lica, with those ivory tusks whic h arc of so great commercial value. In one Miipie produce or me iNortn, in the years If 46-47, three thousand five hundred elephants were killed, and lrom ISM to 185rt two thousand were killed in the southern province. It is, therefore, to be iustly feared that in the course of the nineteenth century tho elephant in Ceylon will pass out, of existence. Already, at present, many travellers visit Point de Galle or Colombo without having seen any of tbCbe colossls of the Old Wcrld. ICE COMPANIES. CE ! ICE! ICE! ICE! INCORPORATED 1801.
