A tap to some of the coffee, sugar, or cinnamon
estates in Ceylon, would at once dispcll the imagi
nary' pieinte; none of the articles we have men

Before, however, we start - tortitem;-tresarbemo.
welt to mention that the aromatic spice called cin
namon. is the. inner bark of the Latepts Cinnamon,
a beautiful tree, attaining, the size, and something
the appearance of a‘moderately large pear.nee.— 1
To palace finis bark—such as is recinired for pnr..l
pose of commerce--the tree must be felled; znd
the root forced to grow in shoots, straight and 1 ,
smolt!), These beinz cut when eighteen months
or trio years Oft?, a fresh srip;ty of young sticks
rapidly appear after the y first rains. A cinnamon
plantation, therefore, is in reality, a garden, and not
a forest.
The English Government possess fire cinnamon
plantarions in Ceylon, containing in the aggr e gate
about twelve thou anal acres. These have nearly

allow their estates to be very mmh neglected;
others keep them-in a state of high cultivatiOn: It

cinnamon land, most of which lay si gaderani,

from Colombo, on the sea:const.
