The continued prevalence of severe frost has so interrupted the supplies, 

 and completely destroyed all vegetation, that the market offers but little to 

 notice, except asparagus, sea-kale, &c., which are not as yet extensively 

 furnished. During the intermission of the frost, about ten days since, we 

 obtained an excellent supply of apples, which had the effect of stocking the 

 market, and caused a considerable depression in prices, which have not again 

 raUied. The general impression, that onions would materially suffer by the 

 severity of the weather, has created a spirited demand for them, and prices 

 have risen considerably. Potatoes have also increased materially in price, 

 from the apprehension of serious injury having been sustained, and the 

 detention of the ordinary supplies by water, caused by the interruption of 

 the navigation.
