The above mentioned I have praaiied many vears- and am fatisfied it has mcreafed the quantity, and improved the quality of my crops beyond what any perfon would imagine, who has not tried the experiments. The diibnce of planting corn, and number of grains \n a hill, are matters many differ in 5 perhaps different C "1 * joiIs may require a difference in both thefe refpetf s ; but in every kind of foil J have tnco, I find plan'iug- ihernws fix feet aftul- der each way, as near at right angles a; may¬ be, and leaving not more than four (talks in a hill, produces the heft crop. The com¬ mon method of laving feed corn, by talcing the cars from the heap, or crib, is attended with two disadvantages ; one is, the taking the Iargeft tars, which have generally grown but one o-. a fialjfc This Icfll-ns the pro- dinftion ; the other is, taking cars that have ripened at different limes, which caufes the produclfon to do the fame. A llriking inftance of plants being natur- alized happened by Colonel Matlock fending fvjme wat-.r-melou feed from Georgia, which he informed me by letter were of fuperior quality ; knowing feed from vegetables which had grown in more fouthern climates, required a longer l'mirner than what grew here, I gave them the molt favorable iitua- tion, and ufed fflafFes to bring them for¬ ward, yet very few ripened to perfection ; but finding them to be as excellent in quali¬ ty a* defcribed, I faved feed f.om thofe firft npe ; and by continuing that practice four or five years, they became as early water- melons as I ever had. Many admit the above errors from foreign flax-feed producing the belt Rax in Ireland ; bur when it isconiidercd that it is the batk oftheftalk only, that is ufed iii Ireland, which k in the bcfl perfcCHon before the feed is ripe, and that part not ufed from any ofh r pla. t except hcrnp, the argument falls "' the gfuinrd when applied to other vra'- tibks. to I'orrn? y years pad, I have renewed the v. ■, feed r,f my ui„t,r - rjjn, fr„m « fin- t v.:,.U ! have libiVrvcd to be more '^'t" • ■J '■ ] »t'.r r idify than the i cmrmdcr in pqmtugjl.

Her former fupercar- go being in Malta, applied to the Britiih court of admiralty, to hive her (lopped, in consequence of iow illegality in the con¬ demnation. They declined inttrfering, as out of their juiihli&ion. He thui applied to the tribunal of Malta ; they (lopped the fliip, and *.he cafe is now undecided in that court.
