A correspondent of the Louisville Journal writing; front the Sandwich Island?, under date of January 28, mentions thu following incident : 'come few nights since, his most gracious majesty. Ling knntelinnieha IV., or Hit? Sandwich Islands, was pleased lo let it be know in hat he would hold nil evening recep tion ul the royal palace.

Well, idler Hie evening had somewhat advanced, her highness, the Princess Victo ria, excused herself to her cay companions. and retired tu her own apart mviit. shortly altewiirds, our gallant auctioneer also took Iruvu or I he royal presence of the King und Qui eu. The circunistutice Seemed u little singular, and Prince Loll, thu brother ol the 1 I'liicess Victoria, seeing souiethinir thai awakened his suspicions, took with him I he King s Lord Cliambvrlin, (a man named Neil- son. or New Yolk memory,) and the two re. pun oil to the uoor ol the bedchamber ol the Princess Koyul, und finding their suspicions nidi further excited, burst I he door open, and there were the guilty pair (the Princess und .iionserrulj rtirr rliougli. i, "The crush ol the door brought the Kinc and his royal consort to the scene.

She is the richest person iu thu king dom. Il was probably her wealth and her power, as pieinicrol the kingdom, that ena bled her tu hold ut bay her two royal brothers when they hud determined on the destruction of lor puruiuuiir, for she told them in the midsl ul the scene, standing in her dishabille, with a firmness worthy or a better cause, thut if they laid violent hands upon Munserrut the would shako the throne to its ceutre, and dash the royal ilia 111 from the brow of her noble brother.

Pram tli Aararlemi Metseutw. Queen Semiramis and Babylon. Nearly four thousand years ago lived a relebrnlrd queen named Hemiramis. Her husband, king Ninas,. Btjiis death, left his kingdom and treasures in'her possession, and she auolved rhat her lia.me should be rcmem bereiHn future ages. For this purpose she built the beautiful city of Itubilon. Situated in a broad rich plain on both Fides of the river Euphrates, very near the centr.e of her vast dominions, the proud queen soon made lier ravnnte) atiode the wonder of the world. Two millii ns of men were employed for many years in beautifying it. The city was laid out in the form or a sqnare, fifteen miles long nn each side, and the whole was surrounded by 11 wall eighty. seven feet thick, and three Inn dred and fil'ly feet high. This wall was ul brick, cemented together by bitumen, a kind of slime round in the soil of that country, Ontside the wall was a broad deep ditch, filled with water, which helped defend the town, On each side were twenty five gates of solid brass, open through the day, but closed ut night. A beautiful bridge joined the streets that were divided hy the river. Costly palaces mid elreunt temples were found on every side. The iiihubitsnts did not believe in the true God, but worshipped idols; the most famous of these idols was ailed Huh!, and the temple in which he stood was filled with golden - vessels, worth one hundred millions of dollars ..iiore money than one person could count in u lifetime. A Tier the death of Semiramis, one of the kings of Habylin married a princess of Media Her own home had been among high mountains, and the low flat couhtry whither her husband hiid brought her, was very dis agreeable tu her.

Where is it now? If we were tu travel in that distant land where litis ureal city once stood, we should find almost noth ing telt oil thu spot to tell us that it has ever been. lis inhabitants for many years were rich and prosperous: God blrssrd them in their undertakings -but tiny would not see his hand in their prosperity, nor brieve in his name.

If we read thr Hible carefully, we shall find that all this was foretold mure than twu bundled years before Cyrus was born. In Ihe thirteenth chapter of Is.iiuh, we arr told that God spoke to the prophet, saying, ''And Itabylon, the glory of kit. gdoui8, the beauty or thu Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Soiiom am! Gomorrah. It shall never he inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation tu generation: neither shall thu A rabiati pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

The Massachusetts Ploughman or the 7th ult., has a sensible article 011 the Chinese su gar cuup, which we cheerfully transfer to our columns : FVequcnt inquiries nre made of ns in regflrd 1 11 the value of this new article offered here for cultivation. And though we intend to be cautious in the recommendation or new things, we are bound to say that this cane from China ia really worth trying. - It is doubted by many whether we shall find it profitaqle tu make our own sugar front this plant though if tbil prices ol sugar and molasses should continue us' high as at the present time, we much incline tu the opinion that we can make our molasses much cheap er than to buy the same at any or the grocery stores. It is certain thut Chinese cane will grow herein Massachusetts to the height of ten feet in ground tint very rich, and that it will muture its sued in case it hus been planted in due season. We have hud stalks sent to onr office more than teu Tret high, grown in Dorchester in lS.i.'i and we h id a couple of rows planted in our own field in Friiminghnm, which had many stalks ten feet high, though the ground was not rich, it was planted rather late in May. and wr did not safe many seeds which wu thought mature enough Tor planting but wu have seen good sued produced where the planting was earlier. His certain that the stalks or this plant are very sweet ; and that they yield as rich a sap as the sugar cane of tha West Indies. It is also ascertained that hogs are quite fond of I lie stalks when cut green aud be. tig very sweet, there seems to be nu doubt of their power tu fat ten these animals. In regard tu sugar making from this cane we can say but little, as we have but lillle in formal iuu. It requires considerable skill to make sugar, though any one can make molas ses Old people have told us that in the time or the revolmiou, when sugar and molasses cuuld not be otherwise procured, the common cornstalks were used tu muku molusses for thanksgiving pies; but this practice was. dis continued us soon us the war was over It is brheved that this Chinese cane will afford four times as much sweetening as the stalks or our c.viniiion corn. Still il should bo borne in mind thut this cane is a new plant, and none have much experience in its value Tor sugar or Aliening. Farmers iu all quarters cun easily try it this spring, utld j rid ire for themselves. It is surely world a 1 rial when seeds call be had at a very lillle cost. As however, a practical encouragement to the Agriculturalist for trying this product, we add the following, showing thut the Chi n ese sugar cane has been successfully grown in Connecticut : At the regular meeting of Ihe American Institute Farmers' Club Mr. Hyde presented a sample of molasses made from this sugar c.me, and the following account of il, by Mr. Haley, who made it 1 ORofF.N Cr.STRK Conn., Feb.

Grnnnd for corn should be plowed deep enough to turn op tho fresh soil and give tho corn a good chance to foot. Corn is a vege table that has very long roots, and to yield Well, the ground in which it fs planted must be loots end mellow, for if Dot its foots can not extend so as to absorb substance fur growth, and consequently there will be a poor crop. If the soil is poor it should be well manored with lime, gttanp, or some other good fertilizer, for of all vegetables corn re quires the best (nil. The rows should le ran both way, as near north and south and east and west at possible. Those running east and west should be about three and a half Tret apart ; those running north and south about Tour feet. This will let the sun in better than if they were or one width There should not be less than Tour or five grains dropped in each hill, so tbut if some fail to grbw there may be yet enough left, and those hills in which they ull grow can brj thinned down to three stalks the proper number. It ia best to plant in thelaltef" port of April. Corn planted early will come np bettef than if planted Ule, for if planted early it will be np before the ground becomes baked by the (lashing rains nnd hot son, which is generally the case in the month of May. Il is very seldom that corn refs in the ground on account of cold weather We often see corn coining up where stork has been fed when it has laid in the ground nearly or all winter, which proves that il is hot on account of the cold, but on account of the fTonud baking that thu corn so frequently ails to come up.

We continue to receive frequent in quires on this subject notwithstanding ull that has bent printed in our coliimns, furnishing desired information. Hut, we fcpeal briefly, that, perhaps the host mode to ndopt, is simply that which is pursued with Indian corn, though the land does not require to ba so highly manured, and tho canu delights in a light soil. Home persons leconimendcd drop, ping the seeds a foot apart in the row, which . we think may turn out the best. The rows to be the usna! width apart us for Iudinn corn from three to four feet. The enne will mix with broom corn and Guinea corn, if placed within one hundred feet of eucli other, and become worthless. mfi HaSs as a Field Croiv A writer W't L. IJ.

Tho sudden immersion in the fat solidities the al bumen in the flesh or the fish, and readers it easy of digestion ; the coming of breud crombs prevents thu penetrating into the flesh and renders the fat peiietruting tbe fish, and when eaten by the invulid, the skin should bo re moved, und only the white Uesh should be par taken of. The great point is to have plenty of fut in the pan, for it is not wasted.
