NO. 5575. MORNING ‘i DITION---- TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1849. ‘The Presentation of aSword to General Joseph Avezzana—Military Review in the Park. Yesterday the crremony of presenting a sword to ‘General Avessani, by his fellow countrymen in New York, took place in the chapel of the University, aud passed off with great éclat. Indeed, the enthusiasm ‘was unbounded, and the reception exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the warmest friends of that army. rove and bowed both to the speaker and the audience, Signor Fonnger: then took the sward. and placing 1b in the bands of Signor Lenghi, Guerd, requested iim to it, to one who had talian liberty. but whose success was not rate with his noble efforts.

The plants were left to take, care of themselves; and yet, the larger portion of them are unharmed, and are now in a flourishing condition. I saw several specimens of the green and black plant in bud. The experiment has suc- ceeded beyond a doubt. Mr. Smith has only to follow it up, and increase his stock by new plants, cuttings and seed. It is of slow growth. Like the ouk, the tea plant buds one year, but does not fruit uburo, Having id polite conduc- season, and did not amount to any thing. He 1s daily expecting an increased number and assort- ment of plants, and more seed—the latter, if plant ed at the right season, (in the spring) will sneceed, Ithmk.

The same remarks will apply to dates and almonds. It is really refreshing to see an intelligent old man who has parsed bis three score and ten, devoting the remainder of his life to successfully aceompli-h an object which can never benefit him personally. Ihave no doubt in my nund, that the introduction of the tea plant into | this country will prove of vast and incalculable be- | netit to the Union. It has been attended with great expence, all of which has been borne by the old gentleman himself. With his own resources he has published a work on the cultivation of the tea plant, written by himeelf, and which his actual experiments have partially demonstrated to be trae.
