Observations. — The season continued favourable until the 14th ; when a cold 

 easterly wind set in with frosts at night, which have, I fear, done considerable 

 damage to the fi'uits now in bloom, which will be the cause of much distress 

 to the horticultural interest. The supply to the market continues good, with 

 a tolerable demand at fair reasonable notices. From the prevalent coldness 

 of the last few days, forced asparagus has been in demand at an improved 

 price, the natural being somewhat retarded, which has also continued the sup- 

 ply of sea-kale moderately. Rhubarb for tarts has been in moderate supply; 

 but, owing to the market being well furnished with apples at this late season, 

 the price has been moderate. Cabbages of good qualities have been in demand ; 

 but, in consequence of the large supply of colewort, greens have been very 

 reasonable. Of broccoli we have yet a great abundance; prices, for this season, 

 very low. A few forced peas (two or three parcels) have been seen (prices 

 nominal, as per last). New potatoes are more reasonable in price. French 

 beans plentiful (v^ery cheap). Cucumbers, of most excellent qualit}', plentiful; 

 and, considering the charge of their culture, moderate in price. Onions, 

 owing to the mildness of the winter, have been consumed very moderately; in 

 consequence we have now a good supply, and, contrary to expectation, very 

 low in price. Turnips are nearly out of season : a few bunches of the early
