Remarks. The unprecedented cold, wet, and cloudy weather, with 

 easterly winds, which has prevailed, with scarcely the intermission of a 

 day of sunshine, since the date of our last, has tended to greatly retard 

 the ripening of fruits and the maturing of early spring vegetables. As 

 we anticipated, if the cold weather continued, which was then preva-
