Crop? of the United States-Crops of All Other Countries- Klee One of tar Royal Staple?-Present Position or Hie Trade in tbc United States. IFrom the New York Bulletin.] Bice wns first introduced into Virginia by Sir William Berkeley in 1G47, who received hali a bushel of.-eed. Iront which he raised slxt**-n bushels cf excellent nee, most or all ol' which was Fown the following year. It is furthermore stated that a Dutch bric, from Madagascar, came to Charleston in 1C94. and left about a peck of paddy rice in the husk with Governor Thomas Smiih, wno distribut? ed it among his friends for cultivation. An? other account ol' Iis Introduction In South Car? olina is that Ashley was encouraged to send a bag ot seed rice to that province, from the crops of which sixty tons were shipped to En? gland in 1698. It soon alter became the chief staple of the country. Its culture was intro? duced Into Louisiana in 1718, by the "Com? pany of the West." The present culture of rice In the United States is chiefly confined to South Carolina and North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. The yield per acre varies from twenty to six'y bushels of upland rice, weighing from forty-live to forty-eight pounds when cleaned. Under favorable circumstances as many as ninety bushels to an acre h ive' been raised. A Judge Dougherty, who resides near|the borders of Heuderson County. Texas,l|has rai-:d a crop of several hundred bushels of up? land rice. The crop averages thirty bushels to the acre. He thinks rice can bc rained there as easily as Indian corn, and will be lar more profitable. Another variety Is cultivated In Hie United States to a limited extent, called Cochln-China. dry or mountain rice, from its adaption toa dry soil without Irrigation. It will grow sev? eral degrees further north or south than the Carolina rice, aud has been .ultiva'ed with success in the northern provinces of Hungary, in China, Westphalia. Virginia and Maryiaud, but the yield U much less than that already I ', staled, beinz only fifteen to twenty bushels tb 1 an acre, il was first Introduced into Cnarl^a ton from Canton, China, by John Bruill v , Blake, In 1772. J THE SOUTH CAROLINA RICE PRODUCTION*. r The largest crop grown In South Carolina \ during thirty rears previous to tho war. was t in the year 1847, when 192,462 tes. were raised; s 140,000 to 150,000 used to t>e an average yield lu t the State, and one ot' 170,000 was exceeded only on three occosslous.

ADAPTABILITY OF CUBA A3 A RICE UROWIN'G J* COUNTRY. 'p The editor ol' the Gaceta, a Cuban paper, has ti ibeen shown some sprigs of rice near M lianzas, t I he smallest of which contains at least three tt hundred grains, perfectly opened, und ol a 8 larder size than is usually produced in the r island. He observes that this phenomenon is t not limited to a certain number of sprigs, but c that the whole crop is similar. This excess of t production is, however, to be attributed to the |, extraordinary abundance of rain during a pur- {, tion of the year. "Here we have a specimen," 0 says the editor, "of the enormous production u that could be raised iu our fields of this ex- \ ?llent and nutritious groin, If lt were culti? vated In places contiguous tu the rivers, where P it could be flowed during drought." 0 ITS PTODDCTION IN OTHER CLIMES. Passing eastward, rice begins to be found In Egypt, becomes more general In Nor'hem In- a dio, and holds undisputed rule in the Peninsula j of India, in China, Japan, and the East India R islands. c Rice ls now the staple grain produced in the n Mauritius, and it produces about twenty-six t thousand hundred-weights there annually. It , lhere forms, together with Indian corn und ? manioc, the principle article of food among u the coolies, negroes and mixed colored popu- D lotion. .> THE PRODUCTION IN KASHMIR AND BRITISH a INDIA. Kashmir.-Many of the rice lands ore situ? ated much higher than might be ihought con- s venient In Hindost?n, and are rather pressed o into thia species of culture than naturally rj adapted for It, but still yield g>od crops, s through the facility with which water ls brought T upon the land from the streams which fall || down the lace of the neighboring hills. In t, common seasons the return of grain is from ?j thltty to forty-one bushels per acre, on an i average, besides the straw. 1? Bengal.-The rice of Bengal, bv the exer- b eise ol some care and skill, oas recently been so far improved as nearly to equal that ol' the Carolinas. Dr. Falconer hos Introduced into India the numerous and fine varieties of rice ? cultivated In the Himalayas of these, some ol p the best sorts were, a* his suggestion, dis- " tributed to cultivators along the Doab Canal. * Himalaya Mountains.-A specie-? ot hill rice J! grows on the edge of the Himalaya Moun- fl tains. The mountain rices of India are grown without lrrlgutioD, ut elevations ot 3u00 io 6000 feet on the Himalaya, where the damp- h ness of the summer months compensates for w tab want of artificial moisture. p Arracan.-The fertility of the province of u /rracan is very great, Hs soil being fit for the c culture ol nearly all tropical productions; rice, however, ls alone cultivated to any great ex? tent; the low alluvial soil which extends over Hie whole countrv, from the foot of the moun? tains to the seR, being admirably suited for its growth. About 115 square miles are under culture with rice. The export of rice of this district gives employment to 700 vessels of medium s;ze. The following will show the rapid develop? ment of the exports of rice and paddy through Akyab, the Arracan port: Maundsof Maundsof Years. I'addv.

THE BUULL RICE LANDS OK LOWER SIND. Like all large rivers wMch flow through an illuvlul soil fora very lengthened course, the indus has a tendency to throw up patches of il, uv lui depo-lis at its mouth, und ihese are In ?ind called "bhulis," and are In general very raluuble and productive lor the cultivation ot he "rea rice" of the country. When the Iver runs out strong and full the "bhulls" irosper, and the sea ls Kept at a distance. On he other hand, the salt water obtains the uprein icy when the river is low, and then lie farmer suffers. In this manner much 'bhnll" crop was destroyed in the monsoons if 1851 and 1852, during the heavy gales which uvvalled in those seasons. This rice ls sub ect io attucks also of a small black sea crab, vhkh cuts down the growing grain lu large [nanni's, aud often occasions much loss. BURMAH, SIAM AND COCHIN CHINA. The BnrmeSe and Siamese are the grossest :onsume/s ot rice. A common laboring Malay vquiivs monthly 30 chupahs, or 56 pounds ol ice, ihe Burmese and Siamese about 34 chu >alis, or 64 pounds Rice laud in Penang 'irids a return which cannot be averaged ilgher than seventy-Ave fold, or nearly thirty mniangs of paddy for each orlong (li acres;) mt it has been considered advisable to rato it tere at sixty : old only. The rice land of the ?ro-. ince Wellesley gives an average return of 174 fold, i he maximum degree ol' product ive ie>s being 600 gimtangs of paddy to an orlong >f well flooded ulluviai laud, or 150 fold, equal o 300 gun tangs of clean lice, weighing nearly 1520 pounds American. Rice In Cochin China s the "s; nfl' of life," and forms the main arti? ge of culture. There are six different sorts rrown;twoon the uplands, used for confec lonery. und yielding only one crop anuually; tte oilier soi ts affording two to Ave crops a ,'ear. but generally two-oue lu April and motlier In October-or three when the lnuu lutlcns have been profuse. CHINA. In China fie returns ol the land subject to lax as used In rice cultivation there give uear y half an acre to euch living person, and In ne southern and well watered provinces it ls ? in thing but uncommon lo take two crops of Ice, one of wheat, and one ol pulse lrom the mme laud in a single season. Taking the population of Canton at the isual estimate ot a million, and allowing to ?ach a catty a day, the quantity ol' rice re? hired lor one day's consuiu lion alone in that :iiy would be 10,000 piculs of 133 pounds American each, or 1,340,000 pounds. JAVA. Rice is cultivated In Java In three systems. The name ol' "Bawah" ls alven to the rice lelds which cutt be Irrigated artificially; 'Me? lar." or "lugul," are elevuted but level rrounds; and "gagan," or "la dang," are deared ion st. grounds. The two last only (Ive one crop; a second crop may be obtained rom the "rawali." Besides Java, there are Bali, some parts of Celebes, with the most fertile spots of Suma? ra and ol the Malay Peninsula, all rice ex? torting couutrles. Java is inferior iu the estimation of Europe nd the United Slates to Bengal, and especial y Patna rice and Caroliua, but they are ex? erting lu paddy what ls called "table" rice ] rom Batavia, which, when cleaned at Liver >ool, Amsterdam and Bremen, is as hand ome in color us the mo3t delicate Patna or > Jarqjina. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. These int si imably valuable Spanish islands i roduce in such abundance and variety, that ? lue species are known; but as the names are il native, we will not enumerate them, j ligar and hemp are too profitable there lo ' ush rice as ra'ght be done; yet 100,000 cent- I r? lghts are quite an ordlnnry surplus for ex- ? ort on an average, while Java exports a mil- , on lo a million and a half annually on an vemge. TUM IMPORTANCE OK RICE IN THE EAST. 1 While in the Atlantic countries colton, su- , ar and coffee are the great colonial articles n which the attention of capitalists, specula- * ors and dealers is iiveted.it ls rice on the 1 'acilic, even in California and Australia, where < he presence cf so many Chinamen constitute | he staple one ol' large Import from China , nd Java. Hundreds of large and mtddle ized vessels flying the Amerlcon aDd Eu- 1 opean flags, are lutercolouially eDgusred In 1 he Indian seas every year lo establish the i quillbrium of wants and supplies between j he teeming millions of China and the other . irge countries', short crops being constant \x some locality every season, not to speak f ihe Chinese, Malay, and other Innumerable I inks and craft of all sizes, doing nothing : ut conveying the leading staple. Rice is thus "King," like cotton among our elves, lu its Importance und extraordinary , 'scii>uilons of value. MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES.

During thc Superlntende-ice or Dr. WILSON at Hie BLOUMIXODALE ASYLUM, this sad result occurred to two patients. Reason had for a time left them, and both died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and about twenty years of age. Who can say that their excesses are not fre? quently followed by those direful diseases, IN SANITY and CONSUMPTION ? The records of the INSANE ASYLUMS, and the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of these assertions.
