NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, April 17,1854. 
The number of cattle in market to-day is about the same 
as last week, but these were of a poorer quality. The sales 
were rather slow, many butchers leaving without making 
any purchases at all, whether on account of the storm or of 
the prices we could hardly tell, but probably influenced a 
little by both. The prices are about the same as last week. 
Lowest price, 8 c.; Middling, 9#c.; Best, 10#c.

fclEACOR MAMMOTH BLACKBERRY. (BY SOME CALLED 
^ THE LAWTON BLACKBERRY.)-Lewis A. Seacor, the 
first discoverer and propagator of this rare and valuable 
fruit, respectfully informs the public, that although having 
thus far lost the honor of giving name to his fruit, yet he has 
on hand about one hundred fine plants of the original stock, 
from which others have chiefly been derived. These plants he 
will warrant of superior quality, and will sell them at $5 per 
dozen, (which is half the price asked by those who procured 
their original plants of him at a low price.)
