It has been ami is our : dt-nire nml purpose to furnish truthful anil ae- j eurate reports of the prospects of the crops ! from time to time, ami we have labored and i wntehed for that. end.

The New York remarks that tho re- j cent proceedings of the Metropolitan Police ; Uonrd. and of Governor John A. King, has do ! monstrated the worthlessness of the system of placing executive authority, in the hands of! irresponsible Boards, and of nominating can- | didatcs for office without reference to tlieir ! ability to wield tiie powers they may be called j upon to cxercisc. It says : For weeks before the burning down of the j Quarantine establishment, continued threats of i r-uoli a proceeding were publicly uttered, and j preparations for carrying them out were al- j most openly made. The slightest exertion on j 1 lie part of tlic Police Commissioners, the smallest degree of efficiency on the part, of] their detective police, would have enabled the j authorities to have been thoroughly informed , of the contemplated proceedings" and to have j taken measures to save half a million of State ! prr.p.itv, ..voiding thereby the expenditure of another sum ectiallv hiree in fntil.. mnr?>i?ni' and above nil, h.'iv intr llic lives of several worthy citizens. But what is tho business of half n doz-.'ii ni/n in committee, is nobody's business in particular. So each one busied himself with his pi ivale amusements, ami when the lioui of trial enine nothing was ready, and nothing could be done. Hut this is not the worst I of it. The work of destruction was not com- j pleted on tho first night, and there was every . reason?there was, in fact, the positive nssur- j nnce?to believe that it would bo finished on , the succeeding one. Governor King was in the ci'y, upon whom ! the imperative neessity of action ultimately j rested. The Police Board was at hand, ond ; gathered in council. An able and energetic j Superintendent of Police was ready to act ns I Hoon as h? should receive the necessary authority to do so. Men nnd means were at command to any extent, yet not a hand wus lifted, nor ft foot stirred to prevent the destruction that was everywhere known to be in contemplation. The Collector of the Port sent down a small force ofgovernineut marines to protect the federal property, and not a thing -under their charge was injured. But they could not go beyond the stringent limits of federal authority. Thus, tho destruction of the fcltatc property was completed on the second night without the slighcst effort for its prevention. And now comes the conflict of shifting responsibility. The Metropolitan Police Board must ?:Ieor its own skirts, nnd they must find the i nier.ns to do it. On tnany former occasions, | when a similar exigency has occurred. tlii? nW i of the necessity of applying to Albany, where nil llio power I* centred, 1ms been put in t?s ?n excuse. Tint tliis would not. do now. for (Jov. King wns here, revelling w itl> thoiu in the luxuries ofii tnun eipal dinner.

For the first time in the history of emigration to the United Stales from the British Islands there is now a preponderance in the movement towards Australia and Canada over that towards these shores. The official returns made up in England, show that for the first three months of 1858 the aggregate number of emigrants from Great Britain was 19,000, of whom 8,200 were bound for the United States, against 10,720 for the corresponding period of 1867. Of tho rest 9,867 were for the Australian colonies. Emigration for all parts of the J i. > i -i ? ' "? xmiu una nut VCC11 ul au JUW a Ilgure IOr IIIteen years it now is.

The sweet lady who thus was parade.I j hy him, was (so is xvas opined l?y a IJo- j hemian girl, others decinred she was a llouian | Contttdino, and as to mysolf, I unhesitatingly I pronounced her one of Ilatraello's heretofore J undiscovered Madonnas, that a congenial sweet I South had c*xpt\n<lo<l into bounty, like a lovely butteifly in tin? Mil}' spring of seasons. She is, indeed, fi t to kneel before, nml she coultl lie here worshipped by gas-light, or by star-light, or hy bright Aurora, while with her rosy fingers she scatters flowers before the morning, as wo pee her in (initio's Aurora. Starry Night ! was too bright and beautiful not to awaken us from nightly sadness. She made every man full in love with night, nnd every one would have cheerfully spent his life in the study of the geography of the heavens on so heavenly a body. Maria Louisa was the real German beauty and type, beautifully moulded though in a j grave and severe style, in n word, she was ] east in one of Tlmrwaldsen's charming moulds. Still it was evident she showed a very considerable jealousy for the presence of Josephine, and for her superior grace and dignity. There was also a Spanish lady, a pure Andalusian beauty with all their graces, a likeness of the charming Kmpress Euirnni-.. and alsoa Polish voune bulv admirably and tnstefull^JTressed with n dainty l)ulch cap lliot sweetly suited her sweet and playful features. It was evident to me that Maria Louisa looked on these two beauties with no small trepidation, knowing Napoleon's admiration for them. There could he seen (\ beautiful chiraetef. full of innocent nuptial blushes, and crowned with myrtle and orange flowers. She was a beautiful personification of Lsilla Kookli, the charming creation of an Eastern tale, a v?rv Ilouri by Thomas Moore, he who so enchantingly sting of beauty lnvo and wine, the merry wine, that gladdens the heart of laborious man. There could be seen also Zelicn, the Priestess of the faith in Lalla Kookh. Under this disguiso the Columbian lady was tnore than a Priestess, she was a lovely dove, and we could sooJfTiat an elegant gentleman, in a courtly dress, with a plume in his chapeau-brass, made to her most significant bows of admiration at the beauty of her Zelica while daucincr the Lancicr. There was an Albitnesc, a superb Aloutensgrin freshly landed from Greece who spoke the Romaic. He was clad in a most classic dress, and he was unsurpassed in beauty, costliness and correctness of delineation of the national costumo of riKrdoro Greece ; and our young Albanese displayed an exquisite taste. Equally in good taste were dressed a sprightly sailor who made love with all the lasses that he could hail, and callcd them fine crafts ; and the other a courtly yonng gentleman in aeuitof black of the most distingu'e taste, and which displayed to the greatest orlirontnrfA f It a m\r\t\ Inn Lr a an/1 Man nAM fKn ...? g,?- ----- -. gentlemen.

There were inII>1>>I Turks final Christi ins, knights ami lords, and it poi-med as if tiie shrill pibroch had souuded 1 on*lI v umomr the sons of Unh-doniit, inviting them to come to lh<* I'dKMlt, and her many clans were picturesquely represented ; '.heir Alpine mountains resounded with their firm and manly footstep, ami the clank of their nrmor kept time with the I'iliroch. Flora McDonald had answered tliccall of her country, file, the boast of Scotland, and, in a measure, her.loan of Are, the type of sympathising and devoted woman ami of a noble and generous woman, was here represented with grace and dignity. Mexico had here two descendants of the brave though cruel Cortc/.. Their costume* were oisiorieany iiiitiu'e nnu irreproachable in fitness, freshness, and ill the natural manner with which tliey sported with them ; ami in this wise they captivated the heart [ of the Fill? ?lu Regiment, a mo-lel of grnee, loveliness and liveliness. I verily believe that these Spanish Cavaliers will have to | lire at. eaeh oilier one of tlms? pistols that adorned their holts. TliU must ho their f.ite for they are in love, head over years, with this charming Nof the C.uiteen. I will say no more f?t fear of creating distress in the hosom of the lady in the beautiful costume of Louis XIV. Her chamitioly powdered hair i adorned with >>pietidi>l (lowers that were adiam<-d to ti n> 1 themselves c-dipscd in this as soeialiou with a still more d.iinty beauty.

Ill proof of tli is, I will state j that four weeks sine?, I penned my killing j hogs. fifty-six in number, and have fed tliern ' solely on the green cane, with a few peaches'. | every day since, and that they are now in a ! most thrifty growing condition?seemingly fat toning every day.

"To sum up, then, my opinion of the Chinese Sugar Cnue, J consider it as worthless as a sugar or syrup-making plant, (t. e., it won't pa}',) as equally wort hless as a fodder or forage plant (i. e., in its dried state,) but ns a grain crop, for feeding or soiling purposes, it is invaluable? hotter, far better, than nuy of the millet family, Indeed, I would be very unwilling to dispense with it under any circumstances, and shall, if spared another J'oar, increase tho quantity sown."
