Thy diadem is an emerald green of the clearest, purest hue, Set round with waves of snow-white foam and spray of feathery dew ; While tresses of the brightest pearls float o'er thine ample sheet, And the rainbow lays its georgeous gems, in tribute, at thy feet. Thy reign is from the ancient days—thy sceptre from on !ugh, Thy birth was• when the distant stars first lit the glowing sky; • The sun, the moon, and all the orbs that shine upon the enow, Saw the first wreath of glory that entwined thy in ' (ant brow. And from that hour to this—in which I gazed upon thy stream, From age to age—in winter's frosts—in summer's sultry beam, By day, by night—without a pause—thy waves, with loud acclaim In ceaseless sounds have etill.prucleinied the great Eternai's name. For whether, on thy forest banks, the Indian of the wood, Or since his day, the red man's foe, on his father land have stood, Whue'er bath seen thine incense rise, or heard thy torrent's roar, Must have beut before the God of All l—to worship and adore.

But though thy power is far more east than finite mind can scan, • Still greater is thy mercy, shewn to weak deperiiiant man: For him thou clotb'st the' ertile globe with heirbs,. and fruit, and seed, For him the sets, the lakes, the streams, supply his hourly need. Around—on high—or fir or .near—the universal whole Proclaim Thy glory, as the orbs in their flied cpur ses roil, And from creation's grateful voice the hymn ascarids above, White heaven re.eehoea back 'to earth, the elqrus, u God is Love."

In the July uomber of the " Journal of the Fr)tni ha Institute " we find, among other highly itana ting matters, under the title of "Progress of Ptitetio cal and' Theoretical Mechanic, and Chemistry," a : f..% valuable article giving a statistical view of thereto* progress and present amount of mining industry in , France, drawn from the ottioial reports, of- the Dire& lion Generale des l'outs d Cluxussets et des Menu, ; by G. R. Porter. It : appears that a law was passed by the chambers to 1833, by which the collection . ...o details connected with the mining industry of Prance . was committed to the charge of the department a1i0.% named, under the ultimate control of the Minister et Commerce and Public Works. Attached terthis de partinint is a corps of able engineers, whose ditty O r is to visit in person and examine all the mining es- j ' tablishments of the country-, and report the detailed, 4 results of their ohservauous , from which an Annual Jtatennent embracing every branch of mineral ftidur;- •.4 try is ruadetto the Minister of : Public Works. As the author 'very juatly remarks; it, is calculated to surprise the mass iof English as well 134 readers, that of the eighty-six departments, into hich France is divided, there is but one, that of Ger.!, which does not contribute to- the mineral wealth of that powerfurkingdotn. In the discbergia " of their duties the engineers have completed and presented tabular statements of •the quantity and sal : . ue of mineral fuel and of various metals induced in each year, from 1814 to 1836 inclusive. From the. tables thus furnished it .1s evident that the' mineral • resources of France have been in a course of devel opentent so rapid as to induce a belief that the sug gestions of those intelligent officers at the time of the • inspections have contributed not a little to the re sults. The following'stutement is so shorl arid set* forth so explicitly the condition of the manufacture of - the minends named, that we give it entire: • The increase in the value of the coal, iron, lead: . antimony, copper, manganese, akin, and sulphate a • • troy, since the syitem of inspection was begun, been from 105,730,995 ft.

It . would seem frum.the returns furnishrel that there are in Prance forty-six cod fields, situated hi thirty dititrent departments, which produced in 183 A quanuties varying from 22 tons to 812,914:t0ns eicb.

In the department du Nord. there are eight establishments in the coal field of Val enciennes, a prolongation of the great Belgian. for matron, the prodUcts of which are distributed by the Scheidt, the Scarpe, canal of St. Quintin, the s® and the Seine.

Notwithstanding the vast advancement made' f late years in the producliveneas of -the trencri . mines, it is, in the opinion of the engineers; sill ry far short of its.unnost limit, large estahliennentit:, being in the course of formation.
