SKETCHES OF 2. ITS VEGETABLE, ANIMAL AND MINERAL PRODUCTIONS. BY GEORGE 8. RAYMOND. To any one navigating along the southern coast of Brazil, between Cape St.

Martha Grande and the Rio de San Pedro, commonly called the Rio Grande of the South, the whole region of country, as far as the eye can penetrate into the dim distance from the mast head, presents the most uninviting picture of barren desolation. For more than a hundred leagues the whole line of coast is continued waste of sand. One while you will pass a plain of several miles in extent, unbroken by the slightest elevation or undulation of surface, and from which are refracted the rays of the bright warm sunlight, until the atmosphere seems like that of a heated oven. And now the scene is changed to one of wild, fantastic grandeur. As far as the eye can reach along the shore rises a succession of sand hills, whirled by the shifting winds into the most grotesque shaped pinnacles, like miniature peaks of Teneriffes, from the summits of which there is one continual drift of fine white sand, appearing in the distance like the snow wreaths driven from the crests of our New England hills before a fierce December northwester.

The wind, which is very changeable in these latitudes, and always blows with considerable force, is constantly changing the appearance of these sandhills, so that if you were to select one to-day, and note all its peculiarities, that it might serve as a future landmark, were you to pass to-morrow its identity would be lost, and you would be unable to recognize it among its thousand neighbors. The city of Rio Grande is situated upon a low, sandy peninsula, which projects from the southern shore into the bay which is here some four miles in width, and like the country by which it is surrounded, the site is a sandy desert. Rio Grande contains at present perhaps sixteen thousand inhabitants, including about seven thousand slaves, and is of all places I have ever seen the most uninviting as a place of residence, having no attractions save the hope of gain. There are, however, some advantages to offset against the many repulsive features of the place; among which are the following. It is one of the healthiest places in the world, the inhabitants have an abundant supply of excellent water, and then through the long protracted rains, which prevail during the months of June and July, there is no 3 fear of going ankle deep in mud whenever you attempt to navigate the unpaved streets.

From the slight picture which I have here drawn of the region, along the coast, the reader will doubtless ere this have arrived at the same conclusion that many a voyager has already done before him, who judging from the appearance of the coast, very naturally exclaims, 66 What a miserable country But he is mistaken: he has not seen the country yet. He has only seen the sand along the coast. The moment that you cross the chain of long narrow lakes which just within this belt of desolation, a new world opens upon lay, your vision. Here you behold noble forests of rare and valuable woods, vine-clad hills, and beautiful fields of waving grain. Here too are found almost every variety of tropical fruits and flowers in the greatest profusion.

Most of the small grains and vegetables, which are grown in North America, are here cultivated, and many of our northern fruits, as the apple, peach, plum, grow here spontaneously. In short the southern province of Brazil, (Rio Grande,) is, notwithstanding its forbidding aspect along the coast, one of the finest agricultural districts of America. During the first six months of my residence in Rio Grande I noticed that many of the inhabitants grew very fine vegetables in their yards, without any manure or preparation whatever, merely planting the seeds in the dry arid sand. This appeared SO strange to me that I determined to investigate the matter and if possible come at the secret. With this intention I removed the sand from the surface of the hard clay soil in my yard, laying bare the clay to the action of the sun and air.

The sand, where it is not drifted, generally covers the clay to the depth of about a foot all over the peninsula upon which the town is built. I found, after repeated experiments, that the sand, even after long protracted droughts, retained considerable moisture to within two or three inches of the surface. This phenomenon I attributed to the agency of nitre, with which I judged the clay soil to be highly impregnated. At the end of a week I found that the whole surface, which I had laid bare, had become completely encrusted with nitre to the thickness of nearly a quarter of an inch. This convinced me; and it being then about the first of December, answering to the month of May in Massachusetts, I determined to experiment still further, and try if it were possible to make some improvements in raising vegetables in the sand.

I accordingly spread clean straw to the depth of perhaps two inches all over the clay surface, which I had laid bare, and then replaced the sand. Upon this plat of about twenty feet square I planted my vegetables in the usual manner. I then planted a piece of ground of the same size, and immediately adjoining, with the same kind of seeds as the former. I next made a large vat, by placing boards on the sand, and staking other boards of about fourteen inches in width, at the sides, all round. This vat, which was some forty feet in length and fifteen in width, I divided into two equal parts by a broad partition through the centre.

Into one of these divisions I placed straw in the same manner that I had done upon the clay, only in this instance the straw had been soaked, for two days, in a strong solution of saltpetre. Both of these vats or beds were then planted in the same manner and with the saine seeds as the others. The result was that the seeds which were planted in the bed, without the straw, vegetated first, and all died within ten days. Those in the bed with the soaked straw came up next, grew finely, and came to maturity two weeks earlier than those over the straw and clay bed; and these in their turn were far superior in every respect to those grown in the sand without the straw preparation. The tomatoes and onions in particular were the largest and finest flavored of any that I have ever seen.

While engaged upon this subject it may not be amiss to say a few words, with regard to the culture of the quince, as it is understood in the interior of southern Brazil. I had often, during my residence in the country, seen the quince put upon the table as an article of dessert, and had very often wondered at the delicious flavor of the fruit, as it appeared to be the same in every respect, except this, as that which is so generally cultivated in the United States. Sometime in the month of March, 1842, I was visiting a wealthy Spaniard, who owned a beautiful estancia near the town of Bage, and just within the Spanish territory of the Banda Oriental. One day, at dinner, as we were discussing some unusually fine quinces, I expressed a great deal of curiosity upon the subject of their culture, and wished to be informed by what means my host had managed to impart such an agreeable flavor to the magnificent fruit. Why," said Don Sebastian, laughing, we feed them first and then they're fit to feed us.

It is all very simple, Signor, and if you will accompany me into the grounds I'll very soon explain it all, so that when you return to los Estadas Unidos you can make quinces like a Spaniard." After dinner we repaired to the garden, and I soon found that what Don Sebastian had told me was very true. It was indeed simple. The trunk of each tree, they are not bushes here as in the United States, was encircled by a tube or cylinder, some of raw hide and others of bark. These tubes rested the lower end on the ground, and were in diameter several inches larger than the tree which they enclosed, and were about a foot in length. Just as the trees began to put forth their blossoms two or three slits, several inches in length, were made in the bark near the roots, and then the tubes were filled with a composition of equal parts of lime, corn meal and common salt, and the whole sweetened with molasses.

The tubes, after being filled, were plastered over, and so remained until the fruit was ripe. I saw several trees very nearly twenty feet high, all thrifty and healthy looking, which Don Sebastian assured me were more than thirty years Bows of the Work. EXECUTION IN NEW YORK. -The execution of Douglas and Benson for the murder of Asa Havens, mate of the bark Glen, took place in the prison yard at New York, Friday afternoon. They both appeared to be perfectly resigned to their fate.

They made no confession, but both exonerated Clemens from participation in the murder. Benson also protested that he was himself innocent of the charge. Five clergymen were with them. Two thousand people were admitted to witness the execution, and the house tops in the vicinity of the prison were covered with spectators. LARGE FIRE IN half-past two o'clock Monday morning, the large Cotton and Woollen Goods Factory of Peter Hickey, corner of Jefferson and Washington Streets, Kensington, was entirely destroyed by fire.

The large saw manufactory of Messrs. Kirby Bringhurst, in Perry Street, above Phenix, was also destroyed, together with the six-story brick factory on Washington above Jefferson Streets, the one below that, the engine house and dye house, 3 three-story brick dwellings on the north side of Jefferson Street, near Second, 4 do. on the south side of Jefferson Street, as also two three story brick dwellings in Washington Street, and two or three on Perry Street. The loss is roughly stated at $150,000, only a portion of which is covered by insurance. FAILURE OF A PAPER CORPORATION.

-The Springfield Republican has the following account of the blow up of an institution in that quarter of the Goodman Paper Manufacturing Company at South Hadley have failed. Their liabilities amount to something like assets to $10,000. The effects of this failure fall quite severely upon some of the innocent stockholders. In consequence of the failure to advertise an annual statement of condition of the company, in compliance with the State laws, the private property of the stockholders, farmers and others, will suffer materially, and in one or two cases be totally ruined. "Some who had timely warning of the crash escaped its effects by transferring their property and leaving this region.

This only makes the result worse for the few. The conductors of the corporation made a dividend from last year's business, of 15 per and thus made the stockholders believe everything was prosperous. But it now appears that the money to pay this dividend was borrowed." ARMS FOR SOUTH cannon for the would Southern Republic are being made by Messrs. Ames, of Cabotville, Mass. The order was first sent to a Virginia company, but it failed and the secessionists were compelled to get the order filled north of Mason Dixon's line, which they had avowed they would not do.

The statement which we recently made, to wit, that the small arms for South Carolina were being made at Millbury, we are again assured is correct, notwithstanding the disavowal of the Charleston Woonsocket Patriot. CONVICTION FOR MANSLAUGHTER. Belfast, John J. Jewell has been convicted of manslaughter in killing John N. Cousins, and sentenced to the State Prison for seven years.

Samuel Jewell, indicted with him, was acquitted. In this case, it will be remembered that Cousins was shot dead in attempting to get possession of a farm which he had purchased, but which the Jewells had held for a dozen years or more. Samuel Jewell was the father, and was acquitted on the ground of insanity. FAIR OF THE AMERICAN The twenty-fourth annual Fair of the American Institute is to be held at Castle Garden, New York city, in October next, for the exhibition of goods, specimens of agricultural productions and machinery. Premiums are offered for the best specimens of various descriptions of works of art and cultivation, and among other things for the skill of apprentices, of whose productions a separate list is to kept, so that they may be competitors with one another, and not with experienced workmen.

Articles will be received on the 27th, 29th and 30th days of September, and the Fair will open on the 1st of October. The anniversary address will be delivered on the 16th of October, by Dr. Charles T. Jackson, of this city. RIOT IN TORONTO.

-At Toronto, Canada, a meeting was held Thursday, by the Anti-Clergy Reserve Association, which was called by the mayor. The high church party called a meeting at the same hour, and incited the mob to go and break up the Anti-Reserve meeting, which they proceeded to attempt, and were repulsed. They then began breaking windows, and attacking the people, during which the mayor received a cut over one of his eyes from a stone. The riot act was read, and the military called out. The mob finally dispersed.

SINGULAR RAILROAD the Fitchburg Railroad on Saturday, in Cambridge, a lady in the upward train was badly injured by a snakehead. A loose rail upon the track struck up through the bottom of the third passenger car three or four times, breaking the flooring, the seats and the iron work, but injuring none of the passengers except the lady, who resides in Fitchburg. NEW RAILWAY BRAKE. -The National Intelligencer states that Don Marcial Arias Carbajal, young Spaniard, has deposited at the Patent Office the plan of an invention to which he has given the name of Brake a la Marcialna, or the application of steam to the brakes, which enables the engineer to apply them, when necessary, from his place. DROWNED WHILE Friday, about 12 o'clock, two men, named Miles McFarland and Daniel Hennessey, were drowned in a most extraordinary manner, near the Fitchburg Railroad wharf, Charlestown.

McFarland had been employed by Hennessey to work on board the schooner Alert till 12 o'clock, for half a dollar; and they got indispute whether that hour had arrived. McFarland caught Hennessey by the throat, and attempted to push him overboard, and both went over together, a and sank. Before they rose again, a had been thrown out, but neither of them norope ticed it, they having hold of each other in the same manner as they had when they went over the side of the vessel. After splashing about a few seconds, heedless of the cries from the wharf: and schooner to take hold of the rope, they sank again, to rise no more alive. SELF ADJUSTING RAILROAD SWITCH Mr.

Amos Hodge, of North Adams, has constructed an apparatus, which promises to do away with careless switch tenders, and avoid the dangers resulting from their negligence. The North Adams Transcript describes the machine as being very simple, and requires but little addition to the switches now in use. Ani important feature is that it will never run a train off the track from being placed wrong. When a train approaches the main track from any side track, the first car or engine passes over an inclined plane, on the section preceding the slide, which pushes forward a connecting bar, on the end of which is a cam which moves es the slide to that track, and by a simple attachment keeps it there until the last car leaves the slide, when it returns to the main track. MURDER IN ROXBURY--EFFECTS OF RUM.Commonwealth states that on Sunday last, about 10 o'clock in the in Dennis Street, Roxbury, Patrick Garraghty' stabbed Patrick Dolan, dangerously; Michael Rock stabbed James Egan, at Carroll's building, Washington Street -he was stabbed in six places, and a mortal wound given in the abdomen.

Garraghty was arrested, but escaped through the aid of a gang of Irishmen. He was subsequently re-arrested at Milton. Rock was arrested at Brighton by officers Butler and Cook, and both Rock and Garraghty are in close confinement. BODY Monday, the dead body 0 Susan Creely, a young woman who resided in the family of Dr. Beck as a domestic, was taken from Charles River, in Cambridge.

Shortly after she arose, about five o'clock on Saturday morning last, she was seen by some hay-makers to cross a field and proceed to a wharf near where the body was found, and in a very few minutes she was missing. She was a girl of excellent habits, and has been subject to fits of insanity for some years past. THE HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD lets out another link in its lengthened chain to-day. A trial trip is to be made over the new track from Hudson to Tivola on Monday, leaving after that about thirty miles of steamboat navigation between New York and Albany. -New York Evening Post, 30th.

LYNCHING IN extracts from Alabama papers, copied into the N. Y. Tribune, we learn that two or three weeks ago D. S. McCoy, a clock mender from New York, was lynched in the village of Troy, Pike county, Alabama.

It seems that while on a visit there he spoke pretty freely on questions of free soil," and was seen in conversation with a negro man belonging to Mrs. Allen." For these dire offences he was ordered to quit the place, and not promptly obeying the mandate, he was seized by the assembled villagers, placed astride of a pole, carried to the river, and pitched into the water. THE DESTINY OF George Sumner, in a letter from Paris to a friend at Providence, says, You ask about France-pray be reassured. All is going on well. There will be revision--no re-election of Louis Napoleon.

The Republic will stand- the constitution will be respected. Two good candidates will be brought forward before next May, and retrogrades and progressists will try their forces." FIRE AT Wednesday evening the barn attached to the Ashland hotel, kept by Mr. A. W. Scott, was burned with four horses and carriages and a large amount of hay.

The hotel itself received a very severe scorching and the furniture was much damaged by removal. Loss $2,000, which is insured. The fire commenced in the hay loft, and was without doubt the work of an incendiary.
