WESTMIXSTKU t'AlACK.
(Xj The following inlorrsiinir extract of one. nf
the letters of Mr. Weed, llip pdilor of the Albany
Evening Journal, now triolliiig in Europe, dc
scilirs iIip splendor ami munificence iiulutgr-d in
hy some of the wealthy English nohili'v;
Yc took nn early breakfast this mornirg nnd
loft Liverpool at half past ?, for Chester nnd
F.atnn Mall, the former, ns is known, being one
oflhennly two walled cities in England, nnd
the latter the splendid mansion of the Marquis
of Westminster, (fiirmerly Farl Grosvcnor,)
who is one of the wealthiest Peers of the realm.
We crossed the Mersey to Birkenhead and
there took the railway to Chester, lfi miles.
Chester is n place o much historical interest.
That portion of it enclosed by the wall is hoary
wilhnge. Its ruins commemorate events and j
eras of great magnitude, nnd antii)iiity. Tiie j
city was nccup'ed for a long time by the Ko- I
man invaders, of whom ninny memorials re
main. Its principal business streets have cover
, , 1 i t .. .1
ed porticos, e'evnted several feet above the
pave through which pedestrians pass, nnd be
neath which nre idiop level with the street.
There is a canal running through the city, in
pome places excavated fi.rty and even filly feet
through rock : nnd the river Dee makes a fine
sw eep around two sides of the city. St. John's
Church, supposed to have been erected by E
llielred, in (SO, is n splendid, but fast crumbling
ruin. What rotnains of its tower, composed of
red sandstone, dissolves into particles nt the
4i'htest touch. The Cathedral, a much mure
: tensive structure, and more than ten ceutu-
r:es have pissed since its erection, is in a far I
Letter stale o! preservation. The (lust of tin-
numbered nobles, abbots, monks, priests, &e.,
ro;no in the tombs, the niches and the recess
es, nnd beneath entablatures cf this magnificent
edifice. Its choir displays a profusion nf an
cient carvings, perfectly preserved. High a
i'ovc the choir is a Fpacious gallery on both
:'uU-s, extending the whole way across the build
ings, where the nun? nre fa id to have sat ; nnd
below is a wide hall, running through two ex
tensive angles of the building, and in front of
.'looiny, dungeon-like cells, the monks are raid
to have walked nnd lodged The heads ol the
ancient Dignitaries of the church, more or less
mutilated, nppear, cut from Ftone, upon the
walls. The Sexton, with his "grave-diggers,"
w as encaged in one nf the vaults, within the
A'lliey, from which two coffins had been taken.
I'iiey looked so old that I inquired, after the
nanner of Hamlet, if he knew their hi.-tory,
i nd was informed they were children who had
not been buried more than twenty-eight orthir
y years. He then showed ns into the Vestry,
'.he Chapter nnd the Library. This splendid
building, though erected by those holding to a
liderent doctrine, has long been, and is now,
l Protectant Cathedral.
leaving Ihe Cathedral, we ascended and
.valked about the city upon its wull. Adjoin-
ng it, is the ruin ot an ancient Abbey, in the
owcr of which, as a placard apprized up, is
iow a miii-eiiiu and panorama. Farther on, we
tame to an old battlement, connected with the
vail, from the top of which King Charles the
irst stood and saw bis army routed and de
troyed upon Marstou Moor, in U(. The re
gains of the poet Parnell repose here in the
'tmctry of Trinity Church.
Having seen the. objects of the ino.st striking
rdercft in Chet-ter, we started for Faton Hall.
The first demonstration of the wealth and mu
ificence of the Marquis of Westminster that
Uracts attention is a tonc bridge over the
liver Dee, the arch of which bus a span of "JOit
feet. Cr.ssinT this, wc entered upon the brood,
beautiful nnd highly cultivated grounds of this
wealthy nobleman. The porter's lodge,
through which we entered, might ensily r
iioiigh have been niistaken fur the residence
of some genth-imn of fnrtnne. After driving
n mile through the. ''Preserves," (uoods,) wc
came to e.vti-nsive meadows in which large
herds of cattle, of Ihc best breeds, of course,
were grazing. Then came the park, in which
deer were seen in nil directions. Several
large droves of them were seen in the distance,
nnd soon our enrriage pnpsed within n rod of
some fifteen or twenty. Yon will be surprised
when I tell you that the number of deer in this
park is over (500. In the Preserves, rabbits, are
"as thick ns blackberries." Among the deer,
were a large number of fiivn.i.
Wc were driven into the Fpacious carriage
yard, the various out-bonscs surrounding which
constituted n small village. The "Hall" fronts
upon an nmplo lawn, which looks out thronoh
n long vista of surpassing boauly. The build
ing is of (intliic order, nnd has the nppea ranee
nf being of modern const ruetiMi. The porter
informed ns that wc were half an hour too ear
ly to see the "Hall." Wc repaired, therefore,
to Ihe garden-gate, the bell for which was soon
nnswered by the gnrdnor, who showed us
through his enebanting dominions. I will not
weaken the effect of these changing, variegat
ed, but ever bright nnd beautiful scenes, by
any nttempt to describe them. Vv'c may boa.-t
with just pride of our own Flora achievements
but the only comparison I dure har.ard must be
based upon a combination of nil that is rich
and rare in the gardens of .Messrs. Unci, Wil
son, Thorl'iirn, Prentice, P'lige, the Pat root),
iVc, i f. Tut in Fruit, although every e xer
tion is made to obtain the best, the compari
son is as much, nr more, in our fasor. There
is more good fin it in Mr. Donniston's garden
than is seen, or can be produced in the Liver
pool market. The hot-houses of the Marquis
of Westminster produce large and delicious
peaches nnd grapes, ns, n'so, nre the pine-n;i-p'es;
but their "wall fruit" is in all respects
inferior to ours.
The gnrden occupies nearly or quite nn
hundred neres. In one of the arbors is an Al
tar, discovered in the ruins nt Chester in
where it had been lell by the Romans. Among
the hot-hniiH' plants are several American Al-
j ees, (century plants,) one of which is expected
j to flower wi'hin four or five years. The hot-

with plants, flowers and fruits. Among the
latter were peaches of the largest size, and
judging from the color they imparted, ofthe
most delicious ch.metrr. These with the
i (Ira pes, nrr? picked ns they ripen, and sent up
to Irfiiulon, were thef.umlv remain till Aii"ust,
I will nttempt no farther description of Fe
ton Hal!, than to say it is one of the magnifi
ront mansions that tae overgrown wealth of
I-i'L'hitiil Iin3 produced. e were seated for
I'all'nn hour in the entrance Mall, the floor of
lr r;i-!!iy variegated :ianue, anu in tin
niches nre several efTigy Knights-, in the armor
worn by the ancestors of the present Marquis.
After showing n previous party through, the
pritn'y dressed Duenna, with much politeness
nnd nn npparent desire to communicate all that
w as of interest, walked us through npartmetit
in which Knights, Parous, Ixirds nod Mon
arch have revelled for centurie.-. The 11 1
running through the mansion is hung with
Family Portraits. In the Dining-IJooni nre
full lengths of the Marquis nnd liis Lady. Jn
the Chapel is a scripture piece, by Rubens, and
in the Drawing-Room are fvo scriptural paint
ings by our countryman, Wrsr. Rut we had
no time to examine these treasures of the brush
and pallette. There were a large number of em
ameb d Portraits, upon glass, in the windows,
which cot-t 000 pounds each. The doors com
neeting the different apartment.?, cost each llH
guir.cis.
We returned by a diffi rent route for the pur
pose of Feeing some of his Iiril.-!iip's high.
blooded hfr.-es, one of which ("Touchstone")
is said to le the best horse in the world. An
idea of his value may be formed from the fact
thnt I ord Chesterfield offered, and the Marquis
refused to take, -l."00 guineas fir this horsi
The proem then showed us two ol "Touch
stone's" Foals, "just taken oil' the Dams," that
though Liit five months old, would bring an
hut. dred guineas. We dined at Chester, am!
returned in carriages by a different and far more
interesting road, from wh;ch we diverged for
the purpose of liding through the extensive
estate of Sir Wii.i iam Si am.i.v. who keeps fast
horses and hounds, is a sp iitsmau and gambler,
and of course is deeply in debt. The day b
ing fine, our ride back was exceedingly plea
snnt. For several miles we bad a view of an
extensive range of mountains in Wales. You

Head of a mere sprinkling of the beautiful nui-

The Hon. Fimv.mm) Fvi:rett, our Minister
at the Court of St. James, was a guest nt the
annual dinner of the Royal Agricultural Soci
ety, at Derby, on Ihc 1 1th of July. I lis health
being proposed by the chairman, Fai l Si-iivni,
he made a speech, a report of which we annex :
Mr. Fai:ri:tt, upon rising to return thanks,
was received with loud nnd long continued
cheering. He said Mv lord nnd gentlemen.
I assure yon, without affectation, thnt when I
consider the kind manner in which von mv
lord, have Fpoken of me nnd my country, I ntn
Iniost overpowered by my feelings, and want
words to express them (cheers.)
Such a notice, from such n company, from
this intelligent assembly ot English noblemen,
and gentlemen, and yeoman from ynu my
ord, who have borne the flag of your country
w ith honor on the sea (cheers,) and who eus
tain a position of such importance and respecta
bility on shore sir. I want words to thank veu
-
ns I ought. You have done mc no more than
justice, I assure you, in nscribing to mc the
kindest feelings toward the land of my tii-
thers (cheers.) My lord, I am a great be
liever in the rfScaey of race and of blond. I do
not think it is confined to a question of short-
hnrnsnnd Hereford?, and South Downs and Lei-
cesters.
I believe in the race of men as well as ofthe
inferior nnimnls (cheers.) Attracted ns I nm
ardently, passionately, to my own country, desi
rous to strain every ncive in her service, nnd if
need be to shed every drop of blood in her de
fence (cheers,) yet I rejoice that my ances
tors were the countrymen of your ancestors.
My lord, the sound of my native language be
yond the sea is mnsis to my ears (cheers.) I
do rejoice that w hen I speak my own mother
tongue I speak in the mother tongue also of a
kindred people like that of yourselves
(cheers ;) nnd my lord, if there is nny oecnsioti
if there is any meeting thnt ought to bring us
together as brethren, is it not nt a meeting of
those devoted to the great parent nit, the com
mon interest of civilized nations! (cheers.)
Oh, my lord, 1 believe that if one thousandth
part ofthe energy, of the skill, of the treasure
that have been expended by rival nations in the
deadly struggle of what is called "the field" had
been employed in a generous emulation to sec
who could excel the other in the arts of peace,
(cl.eers.) I believe, r.iy bird, if this bad been
lone, your fanners would have drivo us diplo
matists out of tho field; (cheers ;) nt nry r;ite
yen would leave us very little to do in cai rying
on nngrv international discussion. You have
been pleased tunllude to the important, com
mercial connection between our two countries;
it is important, and most earnestly nnd heartily
do I wish that it might beeomo more si
(chirrs.) Hut there is a thought on this sub
ject which has struck me, rincc I listened to
your lordhips instructive speech 1 ist evening,
i!!usra'ing the incalculable importance of ag
ricultural pursuits.
The commerce between our two countries is
the largest that is carried on between any two
countries on the face ot the globe. The annu
al commerce between (Iieat Hiitain nnd the U
nited States is nearly twofold that which vou
carry en with nny other people. The entire
annual movement of this commerce both ways,
your export.' to the Fnited States your im
ports from tin; United States either of them
singly being twice as gri at as your commerce
with any other nation. And yet what thiol; you
it amounts to ? About as much ns tie; nn
liual crop of oats and beans in (Jreat B.itain
(clu-crs.) 1 take the fuct from tho instruc
tive essay of your worthy co'lahorateur, Mr.
I'usey.
One more fact to fIiow the importance of
your agriculture. The whole foreign com
merce of Croat Britain, in pursuit of which you
overshadow the ocean with your fleets and plant
your colonies in the farthest islands, is actually
b-ss in value than the annual grass crop of these
islands. Cheers. No truly wns it said that
he was the greatest uenelaclor who cou.il in.al.e
two blades of grass grow where only one grew
U foie. Cheers. It does not become me, my
lord I w ill not say ns a ttiangcr by your
kindness you allow me to throw otl' that nnmo
(cheers) but at your guest, it does not become
nio to enter into great di tuils on thin occasion j
but it ktruck me, in powiug over your imple
ment )urd thi morning, that however neglect-
ful nnd inactive yoli may have been heretofore
in the improvement of agriculture, there is no
thing tocoiuphiin of now.
It does seem to me that there isnn amount of
science, of mechanical :'ki!l, of practical saga
city, of capital, nnd of attention, on the higher
orders ofdiligence and perseverance on the
part ofthe intermediate and laboring classes,
combined for the promotion of ugriculture, that
has never ben equalled in the history ofthe
world. (Cheers) And it is a most remarka
ble lac', it you pardon mo for indulging in a ge
neral rejection, that till lately nil great disco
veries nnd improvements in ngr culture seem to
have been the product ofthe very earliest in
fincy of mankind. V.'ho c :n tell, my lord, when
that instrument that lies at the ha.-is of civili
zation, the plough, was i'lveiitoil ? Who can
tell when man fir. t called in the humble part
ners of his labor, the Imr.-e, the ox, the cow,
the swine, the sheep, and t.mk them into profit
able alliance with himself?
It you could find out who was the shepherd
that first caught the wild dog, nnd taught him
to help and tend the flofk, you ought to rear a
monument of brass or marble cenotaph to his
memory a higher monument than was ever
raised to hero or monarch. Who knows where
the cereal grains of the esculent roots were
first cultivated ? There is but one of them, as
you know, the potatoe of which the history is
known all the rest retire back into the dark
est antiquity. They were cultivated nt a time
w ben your ancestors were reaming over the mo
rasses ofthe now beautiful, free nnd merry Fng
land (Chrrrs :) when our nneestorF were roa
ming painted savages through the laud. Aye,
when the Romans and Creeks were living on
beech nuts and acorns (hear hear.)
It seems, in fact, that in reference to the pro
gress of ngrien'ture, mankind has followed that
curious law which Mr. Owen nlluded to at the
council dinner yesterday the law which go
verns tho ruminating nnimu's in the tropics.
He pointed out to us most beautifully that the
ruminating nnimals there have a large fat hump
betw een the shoulders. This is nourished nnd
grows in the first five months ofthe year, when
there is plenty of lood, and they get along with
the hump as well ns they can through the se
ven succeeding mouths of scarcity. So it seems
with mankind with respect to agricultural dis
coveries. In the very infancy of the race they
got their large fat hump bet ween the shoulders,
nnd ;t(H0 years they lived upon little or nothing
else cheers nnd laughter. The very plough
that we read of in Virgil we may now see in
use in the South of Furopo.
We see it still in the hands ofthe peasantry
as we discover it in has relief on the sculptu
red remains ofiintiqui'y. It is a most pleasing
fact that this revival of the great art af agri
culture in these hitter days of the world is the
work ofthe AiiLlo Sa.vi.n race of which you

Among the victimsof the French revolution
was I-avoUcr, the celebrated chemist. It was
to the labors of this philosopher that modern che-
mi-try owes its existence. The discovery of
oxygen, due to him, led iniiiied.ntely to the
know ledge of that vast class of compound cal-'
led oxides nnd alkalies, and to the establisl,
menl of that beautiful nomenclature w hich has
conferred so much perspicuity and power on
chemical investigations. Lvvoiser, not Hisses
sing the independence sufficient to enable him
to devote his labors to the cultivation of science,
obtained the place, in the department of the fi
eances under government, of a rr,'nr gen
rv..', ai.d allied himself by in irri.igj with the
d nigliter of another w ho held a like post. In
the revolution ary fury this class nf pulilie offi
cers wijs proscribed and brought under one o
those sweeping denunciations which in tlio.-e
terrible times, was npivnlont to a sentence ot
death. The philosopher was made aware of Ids
danger, but at the moment when the sword svas
suspended over his head, he continued to pre
pare fur publication a work in which he was
engaged, with a serenity worthy of antiquity.
On the 'id of May, 17!) I, Dupin, a friend of his
faUior-in-law, laid an act of accusation against
the fermicrs generaux before the convention,
w hich n few day s after was remitted by Fonqui
er Taim ille to the revolutionary tribunal. La
voiser was now aware ofthe extent and reality
of h;s danger proscribed isolated, cut offlroni
society, not daring to enter his own house, w an
dering in Paris, not daring to claim an asylum,
know ing that wherever he should find refuge
he must bring death with him. For several days
did this illustrious man wander through Paris,
deprived of food or shelter, secreted himself
by day whenever he could best escape notice,
and wandering abroad only w hen darkness pro
tected his steps. Ry chance he encountered one
of the attendants ofthe Academy of Sciences
and (lardtn of Plants, a porter named Lucas,
to w hom he was well known. Lucas, nt the
Inzard of his life, took Lavoiserand conducted
him to the Louvre, where the Academy ot Sci
ences then held its sittings, and there concea
led him in a retired cabinet connected with Ihe
office of the secretary of the academy. That
academy which lvvoiser had adorned and sur
rounded with sn much lustre thus opened its bo
som to him, n Abided him its protection, and re
ceived his last solemn reflections.
After passing a day or two in this asylum,
I ho learned from Lucas that hist father-in-law
and colleagues were arrested, on which he
rushed from his concehnenl, surrendered him
self a prisoner, and desired to share their fate.
Will il be believed that the wretches constitu
ting that tribunal did lint hesitate an instant in
his coiiiietiuhition ! In their insensate eye it
was not LavoiM r, Ihe philosopher, who was
presented nt their bar, but a unit in the group of
thenecused, the feruiier genera! No. fi. lie
was condemned mid di capitated on the of
May. Such w as the serenity of his mind, that
after hiscondemnation he was occupied inc m
p'eting one ofthe volumes ol his works, at
which he was engaged, with the pen in his
baud, when the ministers of death came to con
duct him to the guillotine. The sentence he
was engaged in writing nt this moment, re
mains unfinished in the immortal manuscript.
Nothing can bo more'touching than the sight of
; that mournful page the remainder of which
1 p is-a-,1 wiih the mind of its author, into the bo

In his lecture on Tuesday evening, Col.
Leh.naeow sky paid an eloquent and touching
tribute to the memory of the Fmprcss Josephine)
the hrst I'ri'nr Min'islrr, as he happily re
marked, that ever Napoleon had a tribute
that came warm nnd gushing from a grateful
nnd overflowing henrt. Col. L. first met this
accomplished woman as benevolent nnd hu
mane as sho was giAed nnd fascinating in
1700, at the house of (Jenoral Lnyfiiyctte, w hen
kr wns Countess of lleauhnruois, nnd when he
was but IT years of age. Her friendly advice
to him, in regard to the lino of conduct which
he a youth nnd a stranger in the great city of
Piiris would do well to pursue, made a deep
and lasting impression on his mind. He saw
her first husband guillotined by order of the ty
rant Robespierre, and saw her in prison, where
she w as incarcerated by order of the same ty
rant (and from which she was not liberated until
Robespierre, in hi turn, lost his own head.)
He afterwards saw her when she was a poor
widow in Paris when she was the wife of the
First Consul when sho was the wife of ihe
F.mperor when fIio was the Ex-Empress and
was at her bedside when her spirit relumed to
Cod who gave it ! The heart of Josephine
was all love sho loved even her enemies
and the many institutions which she founded
in Paris for the comfort nnd relief ofthe psor
and needy of her own sex, still remain ns mon
uments of her gxidness and benevolence. Sho
was the idol of the French people and her
memory is cherished by them with heartfelt
alibcuoii. She was and is styled by them, tho
"Mother of France." "Co to Paris," said Col.
L , "and nsk a Frenchman where is the tomb
of the Empress Josephine nnd he will notnn-
destand you ; but a-k him where is the tomh of
the Mnilumf leaner, and he will immediate
ly direct you to that of Josephine. Rotten

The citizens of the West have turned theif
attention to the production of domestic sugar.
In most localities they are not favored with tho
Fiigar map", and consequently other sources
were sought out from which to derive a supply
of this necessary article. In 137, a company
was formed at White Pigeon, Michigan, for
the manufacture of Beet Sugar. The deep,
light soil of the beautiful prairie upon which
this village is located, anil of the surrounding
country, were peculiarly adapted to the culti
ation ol the beet. In aid of this enterprise.
the legislature granted a loan of is")0i0 in the
w inter of ISiO. The necessary buildings wer
erected, and the apparatus procured, and 000,
000 lbs. were produced in tiie year succeeding.
Since that time, other manufactories, on a lo.-
extensive scale have been established, in varoin
parts of the Western country. Put a ne
discovery has been ninde tiiat of producing
sugar from com. It is considered a more pro
fita'de business than that of producing it froio
beets, in consequence ofthe mote riniple ma
chinery which is required to extract tho saccha
rine matter, and convert it into sugar. Ex
periment to test its practicability ore in pre
paration throughout the West. The Kalama
zoo (iazettu has an advertisement of a mill
which is constructed for the purpose of extract
ing the juice from tho stalk. The Nashville
Banner has a notice ofthe process of manufac
turing in that region. The cost of a mill is
stated to be six dollars. The juice can be
ma le into sugar as readily as the sap from tho
maple. Corn standing in the fie ld may be cu
ground up, nnd converted into an elegant fyiHtr
in It or 1 hours. Tho writer thinks he car
make sixty gallons of molas.se? per acre, which
at the retailing prices in that neighborhood, wi.'
j alfird a profit ofC- or HO dollars.
