Calves, and 1000 Sheep. 
Prices —Beef Cattle are dull of sale at our last week’s figures, 
which we continue—left 100.

Sheep—W e quote $1,50 to $2,50, and $5 for extra. 
Hay— A large supply at 60 a 75c. per cwt. 
Remarks.— Ashes continue firm notwithstanding the late 
rather unfavorable news by the Hibernia. Cotton remains un¬ 
changed in price. Exports since 1st September, 755,709 bales; same 
time last year, 392,058; same time year before, 892,136. Flour 
has a downward tendency. Grain in demand. Hay dull. 
Molasses and Sugar active. Provisions in fair request. Tallow 
very dull. Tobacco little doing. IVool is more inquired for. 
Money is more abundant, and good paper can be done from 5 to 
6 per cent. We understand our banks have about $6,000,000 of 
specie in their vaults. Exports nearly ceased. 
Stocks , without much change. 
Real Estate continues to be offered in large parcels, and obtains 
good prices. 
The Weather was pretty cold the fore part of February, with an 
extraordinary fall of snow on the 4th, of full twenty inches deep. 
On the 14th it began to thaw, followed the next day with rain 
and heavy thunder and lightning; since which, the weather has 
gradually become warm and pleasant. We rarely have it more 
so in March. 
To Correspondents. — A Novice. We gave full directions 
for the management of the Kitchen Garden in our first volume, 
p. 56, and continued p. 88, and under this head, in Northern Cal¬ 
endars in last volume. It would not be considered fair by a ma¬ 
jority of our readers to repeat these matters. The Kitchen 
Gardener’s Instructor, by Bridgeman, can be had for fifty cents; 
a work on the same subject, published last year by Lea and Blan¬ 
chard, for 25 cents : and Cobbett’s American Gardener for 75 cents. 
The early dwarf potato ripens soonest, but is a shy bearer. The 
kidney and mercer are good bearers, and are more generally cul¬ 
tivated for an early market in this vicinity. 
G. L. Cockrill, E. S., W. W. V., Thomas Affleck, John 
P. Norton, Mrs. Kirkland, John Lewis, 
Are received, and shall appear in our next. We must apologise 
to several of our valued Correspondents for not yet inserting 
their Communications sometime on hand. We hope to clear off 
the old score next month.
