Can of As we are blessed with a plentiful cro of peaches the present season, we publi the following from the York Time over the signature Agricola: The peach is one of those fruits in pa ticubr recommended to-be eaten in tl morning, in preference to any other tim Brooke? 'says they agree well wilh pe sons of hot constitutions and costive habit especially if eaten in a morning faslin and Gerard says that the leaves boiled milk will destroy the worms in childret Prom the wood of the peach tree the colo called rose-pink is obtained.

Another method pur sued in the drying of peaches is to have small house, provided wilh a stove, an drawers in the nicies of the house lathed a their bottoms, wilh void intervals.

Tli ripo peaches are then cut in two, but no peeled, and placed in a single on Jalljs. wilh their skins downward, lo sav the juice; on ilioviiifr in the drawer the; are soon dried by the hot air produced tlic stove; in this way great quantities ma; be successively prepared, in a single sea sou, with but little expense in the prcpar alien of the buildings and in fuel.

Pidltil a gallon of good vinegar, add to it four pounds of sugar, boil it for a few minutes, and remove any scum that may arise; then take cling-stone peaches that arc fully ripe, rub them wilh a flannel cloth, to get off the down upon them, nnd slick three or four cloves in ench; put them into a glass or earthen vessel, and pour the liquor upon them boiling hot; cover them up, and let them stand in a cool place for a week or ten days, then potirolT the liquor, and boil it as before, alter whicl return it boiling to the peaches, which should be carefully covered up and stored away for future use. Tomnto The following recipe for making Tomato Figs has been received by the Director of the South Carolina Institute from Mrs.

Jonsstox, to whom a Premium was awarded at the last Fair for Tomato Figs. The recipe being received too late for insertion in the report of the Board, they now make it public, for the benefit of their followcitizcns: Put three pounds of clarified sugar to every five pounds of tomatoes. They must be first scalded to remove the akin, then placed in a stone jar, tomatoes and sugar alternately, to extract the juice; and in twenty-four hours boil them in their own iuice until the sugar penttratM and they look clear, but not so much aa to smash them. Very little boiling is them to the jar to remain two when you must pour off the syrup; boil it and throw over the tomatoes. In two days more boil the syrup again and throw over them.

Let them remain two and then shake them from the syrup and dry on dishes, turning them every day for a week of good drying weather in tbe tun. Should the weather be damp after all the boiling is finished, on remain in the syrup until good Weather. When pet red- ly dry, pack down in imaTt wooden boiti, each layer to sifted loaf sugar.

The KHIior) Question, Appears to be assuming quite a new am omewhat ftjrtltng aspect. According to bington correspondence of the New Yor leratd, a Company of American citizens, compri it is said, distinguished statesmen, prouiinen ankers, and wealthy capitalists, are now claim ng, as tlieir occltiavc property, tiie fishitii in controversy with Great Britain ant he United under color of title derives, roin Lord STIP.I.INO, a Scotch nobleman, tyles himself Hereditary Lieutenant General am ord Proprietor of Canada aod Xoria Scotia.

We subjoin an extract from he correspondence ol the Herald, prefaced by in roductory remarks of the Editor, in order to en- bio the reader to form some idea of the nature ic claim, and of the ground on which it rests: From the New York Herald The intelligence furnished by our special ashington correspondent, with regard to the fish- question, is of a truly and interesting b'aractcr. It is asserted that, while the colom- and Yankee fishermen have been urangling oncerning their alledged rights, and calling up- their respecti gov ci niuenta to protect them, real owner of the entire grounds In dispute, ord Stirling, baa quietly remained in the back- ound and enjoyed the f'port.

For th present, I will select the history of ancient Mcx' co for my theme. The modern history of Ihis Ri public is sufficiently fimiliar to tbe people of th United States, for many reasons, which it is need lees to recapitulate: and judging from past an present occurring in that ill-fated and il governed Republic, there seenw to be little doul that it will, at no distant day, form a componen part of the grand Republic of the The history of the civilized Indians who inhab ted Mexico, when the country was discovered an conquered by the Spaniards, cannot failofbeit Interesting to all reflecting people, interested i the progress of the human family: bat thisbif ry Is very Imperfect, chieuy because the Spanls monks who attended tbe military adventurers took special pains to destroy tbe records on monuments of a people whom they regarded a. the enemies of God; cruel pagans, who should exterminated as vipers and noxious the manners of the age are to be blumc more than the monks; for religious zealots wer then, and for some centuries aflern arts, fierce, rocions, unrelenting, uncompromising, exclusiv and persecuting.

This description will more less apply to the followers of all creeds and nominations. The Spanish historians generally refer to tl thirteenth century, as the period when the Mex ican monarchy began its regular reign. This an error which arises from ignorance, inattentio and hurry, on tbe part of the conquerors. The were ignorant of the hieroglyphics which wer preserved on skins, cotton cloths, anil the bark trees. They inattentive to the importan designs of those hieroglypics, incapable of undo standing them, or at least they bad too nmc pride, contempt, and prejudice towards tbe nat'n inhabitants, to occupy their valuobte time, dovi ted alternately to chanting the litanies, and en slaving and murdering the poor pagans, in orcle to obtain Ihe "root of all evil." The first Bisho of Mexico, John do Zummeraga, a Francisca friar, issued an ordinance, committing these inon uments or records to the fire.

This auto def reminds us of (he destruction of the Alexandria library, by tbe Mohammedan leader, ivho asserts that if the books composing that library, contain tbe same knowledge as the Koran, they wer unnecessary; if they contained different know edge, they were impious. The same princip' actuated both, viz fiery zeal, cxclu sive self-righteousness, and a supposed right de rived from the Divine power to destroy ever thing which they supposed was at variance wit theirideas of true religion. It difficult todis cover the origin of those civilized Mexicans, fbu by the Spaniards in possession of the is sufficient data to infer that frequent im migrations into Mexico, from the Xorlh-wester part of North America took place from the cevent the thirteenth century of the Christian lut whence came those bords of people? Proba ily from some parts ol Wherever the came from, they curried with them undoubtc of civilization. There were four pcopl who made their appearance respectively at th following periods: The Toltecai in 1148; th hicimecaa in 1170; the Nahualtccas in 1178; an he Acalhuas and Aztecas in 119C. Of all tbos coplc, the Toltecas were tbe most rcmarkabl or their advances in civilization.

They introdu ced the culture of maize orlndian corn, but 1 owns, roadn. and those grand pyramids which excite our admiration and wonder even at th present day. They established foundries, aad nn deratood how to dress stone and the hardest mar ble. Their manner of computing time was mor exact than those of the ancient Romans an ireeks. Theirycar consisted of eighteen months each containing twenty days, and they bad saga city enough to perceive that a solar year require 365 days to complete it.

The five days over an above the 360 days composing tlieir cightec months, were days of unii crcal and unrestraitic ndulgence; every person enjoyed himself a way that suited his tastes and inclinations, un luring this short period, neither laws nor censoi ships had any control.

That lor the same actual power, its weight about three times as great as that of the marine swam engine, and that if its estimated power should be obtained, its weight would be as mud SO per cent greater. 3. That, ia respect to the space occupied by the engines and coal, the advantage is decidedly in favor of the fleam engine.

4. That the great weight of tljo eijgino in pro- ortion to the power developed, must prevent, for the present, the realization high speed in the impulsion of vessels. At the same time it is to be admitted that the full estimated power is adequate to the production ofhigh velocities.
