near a stove in the kitchen, were two months before they began to sprout. 

 From all that we have read in the American agricultural journals, and from 

 the habits of the plant at Kew, we think it very likely that the Gama grass 

 will prove a valuable forage plant in all climates suitable for the Indian corn ; 

 for which reason, we hope Messrs. Wrench will send seeds of it to M. Vil- 

 morin for France and the south of Europe, to Sydney and Van Diemen's 

 Land, and also to India and South America.

Observations. — The supply to the market, until this morning, has been very 

 limited, and the prices of most articles continued slightly advancing ; but they 

 have declined considerably, in consequence of a larger supply coming to hand 

 than could have been reasonably expected in so short a period, with but little 

 influence from improvement in the weather, which has continued to be wet 

 and cold until within a few days. The season may, upon the whole, be con- 

 sidered full fourteen days later in every article of natural produce usually sup- 

 plied at this season. Articles artificially produced are also materially retarded
