to $7.50 per cwt.. closing dull; 500 head unsold.

very brisk ; prices have ranged at $20 to $40, at which the market

Sheep and Lambs .—Market quite active, and our quotations 
fully supported. Sheep have brought $1.50 to $4.50; lambs sold

Remarks.—N o change of any moment in the market since 
our last. 
The Weather has continued very fine since our last. Corn, 
roots, and grass are growing rapidly, and promise abundant 
crops. Wheat and all the small grains have generally been well 
secured, and turn out better than was anticipated. Cotton, Rice, 
Sugar, Hemp, and Tobacco are doing well.

from T. B. Miner, D. J. Fluker, L. Durand, F. J. L., Edward 
Egan, and Thomas B. Coursey.

M ett-oxfordshire long-wooled 
Bucks for sale.—The subscriber has about 40 Long-wooled 
Bucks, which he will dispose of at any time when called for. 
This flock, which has been bred from some of the best ever im¬ 
ported, is so well known that they need no further description 
than to say that they continue to yield their very heavy fleeces— 
from 9 to 16 lbs. of washed wool; and when full fatted, will 
weigh upwards of 300 lbs., alive. This breed of sheep is re¬ 
markably healthy, very prolific, and make a profitable cross with 
the various breeds of this country, doubling their weight of wool 
and mutton. The price will be from $50 to $75 for Bucks, and 
$25 to $30 for Ewes, according to their quality. Gentlemen are 
invited to call and see for themselves, or communicate by mail,

TYARPER’S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE' 
_f|j§_ The publishers beg to reassure the readers of the New 
Monthly Magazine that the favor it meets shall be used to increase 
its merits, and to add to its interest and its usefulness. (Hill 
greater care will be exercised to publish in its pages nothing 
that is not, in point of ability, of interest, and especially in regard 
to its moral influence, far above mediocrity. Not a paragraph 
shall ever be found in it which may not be read by a mother to 
her daughters, or by any one in any circle, without the slightest 
offense to the most refined delicacy of sentiment and of taste. 
Renewed attention will be given to the illustrations of the suc¬ 
cessive numbers ; and no expense will be spared to make them 
A new feature of the Magazine, which will be regularly main¬ 
tained, will be copious extracts from English books, in advance 
of their publication, for which the publishers have peculiar facil¬ 
ities in the receipt of early sheets. A monthly summary of do¬ 
mestic, as well as of foreign events, comprising all the political, 
literary, and scientific incidents of the current month, will also 
be given in each successive issue. 
Each number of the magazine will contain 144 pages octavo, 
in double columns. The volumes of a single year, therefore, 
will present nearly two thousand pages of the choicest of the 
Miscellaneous Literature of the age. ,/?£,, , 
Terms. —$3 a year, or 25cts. a number. The work my be ob¬ 
tained of booksellers and periodical agents, and of the publish- 
Liberal arrangements will be made with the trade, and with, 
agents for extra efforts in circulating the work, and specimen 
numbers will be supplied gratuitously for canvassers. 
The publishers will supply mail and city subscribers when 
payment is made to them in advance. T ^ rnTT ___ s „ .
