JVew Potatoes were for sale in the Farieuil Hall Market 

 this morning, at T. Griggs' Stall, No. 88. 



Eight thousand shad were recently caught at a single 

 haul at Howel's Fishery ; and so plenty are they in Ph 

 delphia, that they are selling at three and four do 

 hundred. 



Para, (South America.) March 24. Business gener- 

 ally is at present so wretchedly had and produce so enor- 

 mously high, owing to the recent currency laws, that 

 one docs not know what to do. The greater part of the 

 copper money has been called in by the Government, 

 and before many days pass, the remainder will also be 

 for which paper is to be issued. How the change will act 

 on commerce, time only can determine. From the fii 

 May all duties are to be paid, half in paper and half in 

 silver, which will have the effect of lowering produce to 

 less than half its present nominal value. 



Awful CalcuUtion. An ingenious, authentic, and val- 

 uable statistical work, published a few years since, states 

 that the number of inhabitants who have lived on the 

 earth, amount to about 35,627,843,275^75,846. The 

 sum the writer says, when divided by 3,096.00f>, the 

 number of square leagues of land, on this surface of the 

 globe, leaves 11,320.698,732 persons to each square 

 league. There are 27,864,000 square miles of land, 

 which being divided as above gives about 1,314^23",076 

 persons to each square mile. Let the mile be reduced to 

 squaie rods, and the number he says will be 1,853,173, 

 51)0,0110. which being divided as above, gives 1283 inhab- 

 itants to each square rod, which rod being reduced to 

 feet and divided as above, it will give about five persons 

 to each square foot of terra firma on the globe. Let the 

 earth be supposed to be one vast burying ground, and 

 according to the above statement, there will be 1283 

 persons to be buried on each square rod, capable of be- 

 ing divided into twelve graves, it appears tt.at each 

 grave contained 100 persons, and the whole earth has 

 been our hundred times dug over to bury its inhabitants ! 

 supposing they had been equally distributed.

THE simplicity of the construction of this Machine, and the 

 -mall probability of its getting out ol repair, together with the 

 ■ i and rapid manner that it performs its work, certainly ren- 

 ders it a desirable article forthe purposes for which it is m- 

 leuded. Ji is constructed on an entire new principle from .ui\ 

 heretofore invented, and will cut an hundred weight of hay in 

 len minutes, two inches long, cau also cut any length from three 

 inches to one-fourth of an inch ; ii is led by placing- the rodder 

 in a hopper that stands perpendicular, the kniie playing hori- 

 zontally underneath, by which means all the complicated 

 machinery lor feeding and the power necessary to drive it is 

 avoided.

PAINT OIL. 



The subscribers keep on hand a constant supply of their 

 " Prepared Paint Oil," which is offered for sale with renewed 

 'a-surances of its merit. This Oil, independent of being 23 



per cent, cheaper in [.rice, will actually cover a quarter ic 



-in lace, as has been repeatedly proved and confirmed by state- 

 ments of many Painters. Upwards of 2u0 buildings in this 

 city and vicinity can be referred to, many of them painted 

 two years ago. which continue to look well, and retained (heir 

 gloss through ihe first year, which is a clear demonstration of 

 its strength. The Prepared Paint Oil is found to answer a 

 valunbl.' purpose to mix with Linseed Oil, giving it strength 

 and ilu.ai.il.lv with a more permanent gloss. It paints a very 

 clear while, (lows smooth, and is more tree from milldew, and 

 changes resulting from the sea air, than any olher Oil.
