Judge Hickok. ‘‘The second embarrassment arises from the-prevalence of the Hessian Flij , wii iell has the last season destroyed, it is believed, more than two thirds .of the wheat crop in this country. - This formidable insect'was first discovered on Long Island, about six ty years ago,, ami was supposed to have been brought from Germany in a ship which transported the Hessian Army to Long Is land during the Revolutionary War. It has however, been ascertained that the insect is indigenous in the United Stales. “From the best accounts we have been a ble to'obtain of- the Hessian Fly, it chooses for its prey the weakest plant. In-this re spect it resembles mbst other, insect depre datory who prefer to make their repast on the.delicate saccharine juice of plants of a stunted growth.' It is a viperous, and usu ally depusilcs its eggs in the gutter on the upper leaves, and in some instances on the under as well as the upper sides; In four or five days (he eggs hatch, and the cater pillars crawl down the leaf ito .its intersec tion, with the stalk, where they may be found beneath the sheafi so minute as scarce ly to be seen with the naked eye.

FASHIONABLE SINGLE WOMEN. A feature that in society here must bo striking to Americans, is the great number of single women. With us, you know, few women live-far beyond their minority un mated.-and those few sink into the obscuri ty of some friendly'fireside. But here they have an independent existence, pursuits, and influence, and they are much happier for it: —mind, I do not say happier than fortunate wives and goodmothers, but than those who,, not having drawn a'husband in the lottery of life, resign themselves to a mere passive existence. English .women, married and single, have more leisure, and far more op portunity for intellectual cultivation, than with us. -The objects of art are bn-every side of them, exciting their minds through their sensations, and filling them with images of beauty. There is with us,-far more ne cessity, and of course opportunity, for the devclopement of a woman’s faculties for do mijcsti.cJifeflthaa- here; - buUbis,—L4h«tfc,- is counterbalanced by woman’s necessary in dependence of the other sex here. On the whole, it seems to me there is not a more loveable or lovely woman than the American, matron, steadfast in her conjugal duties, de voted to o lhe progress of her children and the happiness of her household, nor a more powerful creature than the English woman in the full strength and developemcnt of her character. Now; iriy dear C. a word as to dr.ess fur the woman kind of your family.— I do .not".comprehend what our,English friends, who come among us, mean by their comments on the extravagance of dress in America. I have seen more velvet and costly-lare in-one hour in-Kcnsirigton 'GaT dens than 1 ever saw in New'York; and it woubLtake all (he diamonds intlie U. States to dress a Duchess for an evening at L - house. Vou may say that lace and diamonds are'transmitted luxuries, heir looms.(a spe cies of inheritance‘we know little , about;) Still you must take,into Jhfe account'the im mense excess of their wealth over ours, be fore you can have a notion ot the dispaVity between us.
