The county of Middiesex is not altogether with- out those claims to high consideration which it is sometimes accused of even arrogantly putting for- ward. It ts the larve-t couaty in the State, streteh ing from New Hunyrhire, oa the north, almost to Rhode Island, ou tue south, [t is the most aumer- ously peopied of ali tue M assachusetts counties, cou- taining irom teu to fiftoea thousand more pooyle than Suffolk, and thirty thousand more than either Worcester or Essex, the other great cogaties.

Here is the most venerable college in the United States, thai of Harvard, which dates from 1687. The county iself dates from 1643—a respect- able antiquity for anything in America. Here is tae most ancient wilics:y organization in the Union bat one. The largest siussachusects city, afer Bostoa, is in Middlesex—-Lowell—so tamous for its manafac- fures and its hund-ome women, the very flower of New England's tivest prodavtious. This couaty bas always exerci-ed yreat t:fluence on tue politics of the State, from the time of t3e revolution, when she may be said to have commenced the struggie that was des tined to sliange the world’s character, uftilnow. (if late years she bas yiven color to the character of our government. Tbe overthrow of that woiz dynasty, which had so long ruled over Mussachusetts, and which cessed in 1850, was maiuly the work of Mid" dlesex. itiauy leading men have been furnished oy this county. ‘he Prescotts have dwelt bere for two hundred years, conspicuous alike in peace und ia war. The only deinveratic senator Vast Massacha" retts ever Bad, previous to Mr. Rantovel’s brief term of service, was 4 Middlesex min—Geu. Varnim, of Dracut, who served from 1s11 to 1317, and who had previously served for inavy years in the House of Repreeentatives, of which body he was twice chosen Bpeaker. Ralpb Wa'do Macrson has long lived here, gad Mr. Hawthorue nas twice here resided. George | B. Boutwell, Heary Wilson, Anson Burlinghame, | Richard Frothinvtam, Jr, R. A. Dana, Jr, N.P Banks, Jr., isaac H. Wrigst, Caurles Hudson, and B. F. Butler, al! of wuom beag prominent trom position and talents, are citizens of Middiewx. The Law- rences are Middlesex men. Tue Brooks’ family be- lopg to this county Governor Brovks was seven times chosen to ihe chieftuwagistracy of the State, gad was distinguished fur bis revolutionary services. There is, in short, enough lu bota che past and the | present of Mirulesex to yormacd a bigh degree of Fespect, and to worraut the most .nguine hopes as to the future. When tae Biot ry of tae State shall have been proper'y written, no county will havea higher place in \t shan this, no matter what shall be the subjecis thit most attract the bistorian’s at- tention. The advance of Middleeexin populacion and wealth has been eure sud rapid. In 1520 ber popalation was 61,476; in 1830 iv was 77,063; in 1540, 104,451; and aud in 1560 it was 155,762. [s had doabied in twenty years, which is atarate somewhat more rapid than that of the stole couutry’s increase. Of the forty-six towns in te county i 1540,all but five—R ox borough, Asbby, Burlirgton, Daustable, aud Tewxs- | bury—had increased their population in 1850. There have been tour ew towns— Ashland, Melrose, Somer- ville, and Winchester—made since 1340. The great- est increase was made by Lowell, wise population | rose from 20,981 to 32,620. A greater rate of in- crease than this is observable in the case of several other towne. For exumple, Natick went up from 1,282 to 2,861, considerably mere than doubling her | mumbers; Cambridge, from 8,127 to 14.825; Stone- ham, from 1,007 to 2,043; Waltham, from 2,593 to 4,483; and Malden, from 2,350 to 3,; ‘ter losing over 1,100 of her people by the incorporation of the town of Melrose, made from herterritory. The other towns that increased most were Brighton; Charles- town. (from 10.572 te 15,933,) Dracut, Framingham, Medford, Marlborough; Newton, (from 3,027 to 5,017.) Reading, West Cambridze, and Woourn. It should be meotioned that Charje-town lost more than 3,000 of ber inbavitants th ouzh the erection of the town of Somerville. The increase in wealth is even more remarkable | than that of population. The vuliation of 1840 showed the property of the county to be worth $37,592,082; that of 1350, $53 264,719 50, being an increase of almost { the rate of increase is much ‘k, and is not much greater than that of several other counties. Lowell incressed from $10 160 652 13 to $16,497.395 10; Charlestown (including Somerville), from $4,035,176 39 to $10, 727,321; Cambridge, from $4.47) 510 43 to $10,608,- 787 70; Newton from $997,2 to $3,157,340 ; Groton, from $722 440 56 to $1,451,025; Lexington, rom $561,549 #1 to $1,170,428; Medford, from $1,- 333; Reading, trom $463,024 61 en (including Melrose), from 5,760 40; Brighton, from $458,- Natick, from $282,935 65 t» Sucbury, from $410,716 69 to $915,867; » from $305,107 38 wo $965,970; Waltham, 069,171 60 tw $2,778,446 50; Watertown, breed 88 to $2,351 583 20; West Cambridge, 72,423 35 to $1,671 64410. These examules , but some cases has not been mentioned the rate of iucreave was as qreatas in any given. Full twothirds of the towns more doubied their property's value; and several of which did ast resch that mark, come very It may be here remarked, once the rapid iwereuse in the value in Ma-swhusets is mainly at- tw the construction of railroads, and par- so with reference to places near to Boston. th of Newton is an illostration, and a for- 3 2 5 4 s HELE eee ites Es j feHEs i j n, which added to its wealth at the rate of almout 3} to 1 in ten years, did 30 because of the fa- | Cilities afforded tw it by tbe Boston aud Worcester Railroad.

The chief proauctions in 1850 were :—Indian coro, 292,060 bushels: hay, 86,939 tons; barley, 8,600 bartels; hops, 64 923 pounds; oats 101,320 4 3; wheat, 1,121; potawes, 1,200 000 bushels; fruit, (about) 00,000 bushel: uBnelss 24,244; steers and beifers, 5,578; 305; swine, 9,440. Lhe lar aber lao shows whut is among the leading agriculeural ia- Tereets of the coucty. The amountof batter made yearly is nbont a mullion and a quarter of pounds, und Cheese is also largely made; vat the demand for wiJk is so great, not oul in the manutactaring towns, but slxo for the Boston market, taatthe faru- ers find it more to theiv interest to dispose of thew milk stonce thas to trouble themselves about is conversion into some other form of mershandive. Milions of gallops ot milk are anowelly suld in Bos- ton slune from Middlesex, the greater part of which is taken into the c'ty over the railways. Middlesex is the hop growing region—the Kent, as it were—ot Massachusettes. The townof Soivley gives ue most vops, ava is fuliowed by Groton, Cownsead, Wil- mivgton, Liidetop, Pepperell, Westford, Stow, Read- ing, Burlivgton, Acton, Tewksbury, and Ashby; Vramingvon, Mariboroagh, Groton, Sudvary, Con- cord, Fepoerell, and Weston take the lead in the proauction of Lodian corn; Frau Coveord, Groton, Pepperil!, and Hopkinton excel in cate; and Groton, Chelmford, Peypenil, Towasend, Westiord, and Natick in rye; A+blsad and Towasead grow almost one-half oi all the wheat that was pro- duced in the county in 1850. The miscellanecus agricultural productions are firewood aud charcoal, wool, buckwheat, beaus, ber- nes, honey, flax, cranberries, garden seeds, eggs, poultry, stiawberries, straw, millet, peat, cacumbers, beeswax, and every kind and deseription of veget- ables whatsoever that are common to this part of the world, and which find speeriy sales either in Boston orin some of the large pluses withia the county, Cranberries are extensively raised, and of late ears tbey have sold readily, and at very high prices, though it is not very long since they were covsidered almost in the light of a nuisance, and to have been made as muco in vain xs old Fredenek of Prussia declared was the case with saad. The towns in the vicinity of Boston de- rapidly dewanded by that great market. They foru what have beea called “tae gardeus of Boston,” taken in connection with the fertile towns of Nor- | fork. Considerable quantities of peas aod beans ara | rased. Honey and beeswax are procuced ia re- spectable amounts. Among tie fruits raised are peaches, which in ordisary rs are qaite abua uct abd bring .00d prices. he strawberdes sre equal to any that can be found io our markets. The apo'a | is largely grown, ard every variety is to be had here. A great deal of cider is made, toongh not so ranch, perbaps, as formerly. The Maice Jaw, as meddling with the manufacture of t:a3 article or supposed to | do s0, has vever been very popular with Miidlesex farmers.

Middlesex has the first place in Massaclusects for manufactures. The number of cottua factories in 1450 was 50,of which number 37 were at Lowell, with 209 456 spindles, the whole number of spindles | being 339,138. Waltham bad three factones, with 19,464 spindles, and ihe business there ix now in the process of being creatly increased. Newton had | one factory, with 16 504 spindles. The other towns | were Shirley. Ashland, Holliston, Dracut, and Hop- kiaton. There factories were appraised at $4,877,- 978, which certainly was not au over-valustion of their worth. Thote of Lowell were appraised at $4,491 S40; those of Waltham at $233 568, aud that haw: Newton at $56,432—leaviag less than $70,000 for he ober seven towns. | _ ‘the nomber of woollen factories was 20.

Newton takes the lead in this business; it nas long ad » name for the quantity and quality of her pro- ductions. Next to Lee, in Gergshiae county, sue has tue largest amount invested in paper making. Her mills, 16 1860, were appraised at $97,000. Peyoer ell (£36,000), Groton (333.000), Ashland (26.000), Soirtey ($14,000), Natick ($12,000), sud Sadbury 10.600), come next.

Apropos of fine arts, Horace Vernet has discovered a method of using clive ofl in painting. Hitherto, as you are aware, painters have been unable to use olive oil, from its being too slow in drying. Horace has stuck a drawing pilaster on the back of bis picture, and this imbides the moisture, and seems to sarmount the dificulty. Gemeral Vaillant’s portrait is being painted by this process. In the way of theatricals, Dumas’ new piece, “La joa neste de Ic vis XV..”” written in three days, ineonsaquence of the refusal of the cepsorsbip to pass his “Jeunesse do Louis XIV.,’’ is all the talk.

Although not well, at least not with strength ade- quate to meet all the requirements upon manhood, yesterday, I managed to drag myself, or was dragged about, in a demi-torpid state, to see all that I could; and if description lags it will be all right, in keeping with my condition,and may-hap, with all I saw of di- vine developement and human active agency in com- binstion, for one-woman fame. A remembered old strain of boyhood song haunted me all the day, and I could rét drive from my brain the closing lines of something of tals sort.

The old Moro awoke the dawn, (it wa3 soms- where out west—a good deal south—where’an an- cient major of Uncle Sam’s army issued orders to the garrison, closing with—‘‘ that the sun should go down at the last roll of the drum”)—followed by Cabanes, the frigate Esperanza, and walls of the city and castles, with all the heavy ordinance that was in spesking condition— giving one continued roar, of our sincere joy and gra- Sioation, tat our Queen was born—by whoin, too, we have other instant expectations—that added to the intensity of our futerests in her behalt, giving more national gravity to our demons‘rations. T saw the corner stone }aid of the institution that is to change the future of Cuba, in caltivation of the coming generations at bome; which was performed by the Captain-Generul—blessed by the Pope's re- presentative, our good bishop —inaugura’ by a speech from the great statesman-soldier Canedo, terminated with the stereotype of our lips, but rarel in our hearts, I fear, “ Vive la Reyna!’ to wiisl none of the people said Amen!—in my hearing — which struck me as being in exceedingiy bad taste. | But, perhaps, a# I have got througa wit the Buen at six o'clock of the morning, (nearer seven.)

Itis a very wise and bene- yolent institution, and the name oi the founder will be remembered when oar clu the venerable walls of their alma mater, I bave no deubt. At twelve o'clock the Captain- General held court, at which all the gout and dignity of the aristocracy (bot gout is not a spanish disease.) appeared—all the upper clericuls—and represeutatives trom the ju- dicial, civil, military, and naval departments of the government, andseversl of the foreign councils.

I forboar. My reli- gious scruples do not permit me to dance, or else I might say there were things there to worship; and for my faith it was well that I had not strength to violate wy vows. The afternoon, of the day I managed to get to | Regia, to see the bu'l display, but I was compelled to ire. My friends inform me that six horses were killed outright, five hors du combat, and five bulls were sacrificed, making a splendid arena of sport. To the democratic ball at Escauvizas I coald not go—I was done up at the palace, where I could not stey for supper; at the spread, however, I took a kind attendant gave me # cordial to brace me up, 80 that I got home pretty well. The multitade filled the square in front of the palace, but there was no enthusiasm, save among the dancers— and God bless the fair flogging dreams of man’s b- ing—they so seemed. that enthusiasm was wieered in their own enjoyment and their own love- ness.

The arches in perspective, the plants in tubs, the flewers in vases, were all there, bus the fragrance aud fresh: ness bad perished in the gratification of raak dig- nity. In my next I may speak of bette: thiags—and something elee—but I am to-day too much fatigued to indulge in any love of gossip about my observings. I have also some things to tell ef my hurried tour to the country, which has given me some new lights Mey the ‘institation which shadows the land with miery. On my way out I met several acquaintances, and heard of a singular case of murder committed by four men on horseback, who rode up to a place where they ie for a given name, and the party pi gel Sh e call came oat of the house to as- certain their wants, when he was instantly shot, aad the murderers at @ great pace moved away from the place.

Although slavery is now of but little consequence, under the huge evil that is being wrought for Cuba and the United States, under the caption of freedom, yet I will continue, as usnal, my journal, until the change comes over the spirit of the Eden Jand, and it becomes, in very deed, the weep- ing child of the ocean. have, but a few days since, received advices from Trinidad, by letters that H. was kind enough to bring me, that the landicg of 600 negroes there was accom- eee at the Ensenado de Bron, aud that twenty or hirty had perished on the way, from the over-crowd- ed state of the vessel, and that it was done by the Spanish brig Amante, which has Gyno fe unknown, or the coast of Africa, as the case may be, with the ugual supply of goods, aguadente,&:.

Pastor, where the division of spoils was accomplished without expo- sure, the authorities of the vicinage having vcen forewarued and forearmed. The ve-sel has also been despatched from this coast for more plunder. About ien Une since at the Ensenada “de Cochinos, of Lady Suffolk memory, we have had another suc- ecsaful speculation. The cargo of the Spanish schooner Maria and Juano having been lauded, (180), many having died under the ministratior of mercy on the way. The officers of the locale in this case paid, ani’ one of them is said to be a participant in the proceeds of the voyage. The vessel was buraed, as there was expectaticn of an inves igatiog commission from the Havana, in that neighborhoud, by order of the Captain General. The Spanish brig Pepillo mide good a landing in the vicinity of La Palonea, ou the 15th irst., the conscientious officials conniving, aad g well compensated tor their exceedingly disin- terested devotion to their public obligations. We have also received well foanded iuforuation of an expected arrival of from six hundred to eight hun- dred Africans, to be effeeted at Bahia Hocda or Cabanas, a3 may prove most convenient of acvess on arrival off the coast. The Captain General proposes to capture this vo3- fel if he can, for information of which he was indebt- ed to the indefatigable British Consul. It will ben white feather in his cap, to be seen and appreciated as he leaves his present clevated position to make way fur General Piatela.

The well known and extensive flouring mills, warehouse, and saw will, owned by Messrs. Donglass & Jackson, together with the pail and shingle factory adjoining, situated between Market street and the canal, be- tween Upper and Lower Lockport, are all burned to the ground. At the lowest figure, the property de- stroyed cannot be estimated below $75, About two o’clock this morning the fire was discov- ered in the pail and oi factory owned and carried on by Mesers Bouse & Killburne. There be'ng aheavy wind at the time, the fire communicated anlanty to the ssw mill, and from the saw mill tothe warehouse con- nected with the flouring mills. In less than fifteen minutes from the time the fire reached the ware- house, the mills were enveloped in flames, rendering — to the books and papers of the office im- possib'e. Mr. Porker, the head clerk, succeeded in saving the day book and ledger, and a few papers of minor im ice, but the most valuab‘e company and indi- vidual ps ee are entirely destroyed. About 12.000 bushels of wheat and 2,000 barrels of flour are also consumed. We regret to say that but a comparatively small art of the loss was covered by insurance, there be- ing but $25,000 insurance on the flouring und saw mills and propery connected therewith. The loss will be heavy on Douglass 5 Jackson; but they sre gentlemen of enterprise, and will be bound te go ahead. The insurauce on the pail and shingle factory is $2,000. and covers not more than half the loss, The two private rates, belonging, the one to Mr. Jackson, and tae other tu Mr. Douglass, had this morniug bth disappeared, having fallen through into the caval.
