The River. Since our last, there has been a rise in the river of five or six feet. Tbi3 morning it was rising rapidly, and, from information received, a further increase of several feet water, is expected from the head streams.
Cofc.Abbot in bis letters from Cu ba gives some interesting particulars re
lative to the growth and management of
the coffee tree, and the preparation of ufactories in that country, producing an
its fruit we extract thefollowing, which will no doubt amuse and instruct all lov
ers oi ccfTee.
The coffee tree will bear, on an aver
age, for about 20 years, and as the plants are renewed here and there as they decay, and do not produce until the third
year, one tentn part, ot tnem is unpro
ductive. The product is from a half to three quarters ot a pound per year. The
fruit is contained in globular shells or
hu-k?, each of which contains two of the berries, such as we see them in the mar
ket. Thev are picked from the busk
w
when they have turned red; the picking
ceil into France by Napoleon in 181 1 and 1812, has increased to such an extent,
that there are now nearly 100 sugar man
annual amount of about 5,000,000 kilo
grammes, or 5,921 tons. In Ficardy alo;e, the number of manufactories is 25. While the price of refined sugar in Paris is 1 1 1-4 d. sterling per pound, the manufacture is profitable. It is estimated that one half of all the sugar consumed in Paris and one eleventh of the total
quantity consumed in France, is made trom beets. For whiteness and beauty it is said when refined to be unequalled by any other. 'Bulk for bulk, however the refined West India sugar is sweeter than the refined beet sugar; but weight for weight, the two are equally sweet."
A large haul. The Commonwealth's Branch Bank at Louisville, Ky. was entered on the night of the 24th ult. by
false keys, and robbed of $25,000 in paper we suppose. A reward of 500 is offered for the detection of the thief.

mist JMaregrave, and announced to the
Sugar and Molasses. A gentleman of
New Orleans has prepared and published a statement of the amount of Sugar and Molasses made in Louisiana, in the year 1 823. This statement contain the names of the planters, the parishes in which they reside, the distance from New Orleans, and the quantity of Sugar and Molasses made by each planter in Ihe above year. The aggregate amount
is 87,965 hogsheads sugar, and 39,874 do. molasses. The estimated product of the present year, is a large increase over that of last.
?ame tree docs not ripen all at once, but
the different berries become tit to be gathered successively, so that the same trees are picked repeatedly, at different times, until the fruit is all gathered. The negroes pick the fruil in baskets,

Not turn one's coat, indeed ! Just as reasonable to say

central part of the estate. The berries are placed upon the siccadcros, or plats for diyiiig, u.itil they are sufficiently dried, when they are deposited in large bins or compartments, in a store house
near to the mill, to be subsequently ground and cleaned. 'The dryers are formed with great care and neatness, and cover from a quarter to half an acre. They elevate the ground with a bed of lime-stone, beaten to pieces, and raised in the middle of the bed so as to have a gentle declivity; and surround the edges with a wall of a foot in height. This bed and wall are covered with a strong cement or mortar, beaten down with a heavy beetle to render it capable of sustaining
all changes of weather. An incidental but important use of the siccadcros, is to fill an extensive tank with water, to serve
the plantation through the season; as brooks, I may say , they have none, and wells are rare, and sunk through stone tor hundreds of feet, in this part of the island. Oa the dryers, the berries are kept stirring, lest they should heat. They are spread thin or thick, according to the extent of the workt. which, as they have time, they extend from year to year. 4 When the coffee in the cherry is dry, they rake it together in a conical heap, which they cover from the dews and rains with sail-cloth and moveable roofs of palm-leaves.

passes through a fanning mill, which, if
we recollect rightly , is precisely like one of our winnowiug-mills,such as arc used for wheat; and those used in Cuba, are we believe, mostly supplied from the U. States. Dr. Abbot mentions two species of mills for fanning, or separating the grains of coffee from the husk or shells. The coffee grains come from the fanning mill mixed with more or less dirt, from which it is to be separated, and the coffee divided into two or three different sorts. For this purpose it is put upon a large table of some twenty or thirty feet in length, and of the breadth of an ordinary dining table, on each side of which the female slaves are arranged, who handle each grain of coffee, separating the fair and sound, from the broken and defective: the latter is called triage, and sells for half the price of the sound coffee, more or less, according to its quality, and the closeness of the picking. ; Sugar from beets.

Masonry and Anti-Masonry. The II )lland Purchase Baptist association, comprising 20 churches, held its annual meeting at Aurora, in this county, on Wednesday and Thursday last. A proposition, we understand, was made for the association to bind the churches to an exclusion of masonary from among them.
The subject, after some discussion, was referred to the prudential committee, consisting of seven members, who re
ported, unanimously, that masonry and anli masonry are matters wholly foreign to the duties and powers of the association, and the principles which had called it together. This report was accepted with but one dessenting voice, and the subject was thus disposed of, indefinitely. Buffalo Journal.
