To prevent the return of the disease the follow- 

 ing remedies are sug^gested: — Leave the pota- 

 toes in tlie ground until the vs^cather hcconies 

 Verj' dry, and then spread them oat in the field. 

 Be very careful not to plant potatoes infected 

 with the disease. Keep those intended for sow- 

 ing very dry, and give the preference to potatoes 

 produced on sandy soils. Barn at once the rot- 

 ten potatoes. Avoid as much as possible plant- 

 ing potatoes in places where they grew this 

 year, and which ouglit, moreover, to be well 

 covered with lime as soon as the crop is removed. 



P. S. We have recently learned from a gen- 

 tleman residing near .South Amboy, and whose 

 crop of potatoes was remarkably fine in size 

 and appearance, that they are already rotting in 

 his cellar ; and such is said to be the case with 

 potatoes shipped from the State of Maine to 

 southern ports. 



" It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good," 

 but it would be a carious fact if the failure of 

 the potato crop in Ireland, on -svhich from three 

 to foar-Sfths of the population subsist, should 

 save us from the dire and unforeseen calamities 

 of war. It may be that the dread of famine 

 may tars-.e the arrogance, or soothe the justly of- 



fended pride of Great Britain, and induce her 

 to surrender quietly w^hat does not belong to 

 her ; or, contrary to her practice and character, 

 to submit to be wronged and plundered, as the 

 case may be.

CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR IN EUROPE AND NORTH-AMERICA. 



"We feel ourselves not only justified, but called 

 ■upon, to give place to the following, for the at- 

 traction it may have for our numerous and lib- 

 eral patrons in Louisiana, 



We may felicitate ourselves in having offered 

 them, in .Tudge Rost's Address, an article so ac- 

 ceptable and well adapted to their interests and 

 industrj-, that it has been ti-ansferred to tlie 

 New-Orleans Bulletin, and met with a most fa- 

 vorable reception. 



From the Lonaon Economist. 



The following interesting calculation of tlie 

 entire consumption of Sugar in Europe, the U. 

 States, and the British Colonies, has been made 

 by Mr. Frederick Scheer, after extensive and 

 careful inquiries, for which his extensive con- 



nections with the Sugar trade throughout Eu- 

 rope afford him pecuUar facilities : 



C0N5UJIPTI0N OF SUG.iR. 



Having attempted to ascertain the actual con- 

 sumption, as ^vell as the entire production, of 

 the important article of Sugar, I now submit to 

 my friends the result of my inquiries. Extreme 

 accuracy can, cf course, hardly be expected, but 

 I have no reason to apprehend that I have com- 

 mitted any material error. For corrections, 

 accompanied by official returns or authentic 

 proofs, I shall feel greatly obliged. 



It will be seen tliat Uie average consumption 

 of the ti73 millions of civilized people, which 

 my inquiry embraces, is about 6 2-5 pounds per 

 head per annum, or at the rate prevailing in the 

 custom house union. 



The following table is curious, and may lead 

 to some useful conclusions: 



If the general consumption of Sugar were equal to that prevailing Tons. 



in Rus-sia, or 1 6-10 lbs. per head, it would amount to 198.000 

 Austria, or 2 6-10 " " " " 324,600 

 France. or 8 2-10 '• " " " 1.017.000 

 Holland, Belgium, &c. or 12 I-IO " '■ " " ;^ 1.501.000 

 T'nited States, or 18 " •' " " 2,233.000 

 (ireat Britain, or 19 " " " " 2,357,000 

 If the consumption were equal to what is allowed to pauper."! in Enslish work- 

 houses, according to McCuUoch. 34 lbs. per annum, it would amount to 4,219,000 



— To what is allowed to sailors in the British Navy, 2 oz. per day, would 



amount to 5,662,000 



— To what is probably used among the middling classes in England, viz. 



1 lb. per individual in the week, would amount to 6 453,000 



There can be no doubt that, with a general i that the greater the demand, the cheaper will 

 reduction of duties, tlie use of this article might commodities be supplied, such increase would 

 be enormously increased ; and since it is certain | open an unbounded field for enterprise, com-
