new-york cattle market. 
At Market. —1,150 Beef Cattle, (1,300 southern, the remainder 
from this state and east,) 65 Cows and Calves, and 4,500 Sheep 
and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle.— The market for Beeves has been rather dull, 
as the prices show a decline, when compared with our last. 
Sales of good retailing qualities at from $6 to $7.75 per hun¬ 
dred. The number of head on hand, unsold, is estimated at 
1,500. 
Cows and Calves .—These vary from $20 to $45. Unsold, 15 
Sheep and Lambs .—Sheep sold at $1.50 cents to $4.50 each ; 
Lambs at $1 to $3.75. The number left unsold, 50. 
Remarks. —Prices have scarcely altered since our last. 
Large quantities of produce continue to be shipped 
abroad. It is said that Great Britain and Ireland are taking 
even more of us now than during the year 1847. We ob¬ 
serve that the importations of grain into the United Kingdom 
have averaged about four and a half millions of bushels per 
month, since the first of January last. 
Crops.—With the exception of Indiana, and a few other 
sections, the wheat crop proves more than an average. Rye 
is remarkably good ; Hay, an unusually large crop ; Barley 
and Oats promise well. The Root crops are suffering from 
the drought, in many parts of the country. Corn will be a 
great crop in the south ; at the north it is too early yet to 
speak of it. Cotton is more promising than was expected, 
though the terrible late frosts were very destructive. vBngar, 
Rice, and Tobacco look well. 
The Cholera still prevails to an alarming extent, in all parts 
of the country open to foreign immigration. Its principal 
destruction is among the poorer class of immigrants. The 
native population is suffering but very little. It is hoped, ere 
another month has closed, it will nearly subside. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from A. L. Elwyn, W. D., Thomas S. W. Mott, R W. Thomp¬ 
son, Thomas Ewbank, J. M. de la Torre, J. MoKinstry, S. 
Boyd, and Reviewer. 
Acknowledgements. —Annual Report of the Seneca-County, 
(N. Y.,) Agricultural Society, for the year 1848 ; The Water- 
Cure Journal, from Fowlers and Wells ; and an Agricul¬ 
tural Circular from the Commissioner of Patents. Also, a Box 
of Poudrette, from Dr. S. Boyd, of Brooklyn, as prepared by 
Samuel Maynard, by means of Le Doyen’s Disinfecting Fluid. 
VIRGINIA LANDS. 
THE attention of Northern Farmers who wish to purchase 
in Fairfax County, Va., is invited particularly to two farms 
for sale, three miles east from Fairfax Court House, thirteen 
from Alexandria, and fourteen from the city of W ashington. 
There are no buildings on either tract, but, by following the 
custom of the country, comfortable and temporary ones can be 
cheaply built. The soil is well adapted to farming purposes, 
and there is timber on them, near two sawmills. 
These farms would sell in the north, for from $50 to $100 
per acre, and can be bought here in a more pleasant and 
healthy climate, one for eight, the other for ten dollars per 
acre, on easy terms, and a good title given. 
Further information given, if requested, by T. R. Love, trus¬ 
tee, either personally, or by letter, (postage paid,) directed to 
Fairfax Court House, Va.
