Delaware. —A New-Yorker, who has resided for a 
year or two .past at Wilmington, Delaware, writes us 
as follows:—“ This is a most interesting country, 
whether reference be had to its agricultural, horticul¬ 
tural, or commercial resources. The soil is of an ad¬ 
mirable quality, and I am greatly surprised that the 
tide of emigration scarcely furnishes a single rill to 
occupy a region surrounded by cities and traversed by 
navigable rivers, on the ports of which steamboats and 
other vessels, touching daily, afford the cheapest mode 
of transportation. Every thing raised by the farmer 
secures the highest return, and yet the land is at a 
very low price.”

DARIUS GARDNER,

Country Seat on Staten Island. 
F OR SALE, a Cottage with 12| acres of land situated in 
one of the most healthy parts at the upper end of the 
Clove Valley, 2\ miles from Vanderbilt’s Landing. The Cot¬ 
tage is of brick, in the Gothic style, of a moderate size. 
About three acres of the ground are in wood, the rest in an 
unusually high state of culture; good Garden, good Orchard 
. and good pasture land. Much of the ground is thoroughly 
drained and dug with the spade two feet deep. There are 
upwards of 700 Fruit trees (more than half being Pears) in 
the most vigorous growth—a good proportion in bearing. 
Fruit culture having been the great interest of the present 
proprietor, it is an orchard of rare excellence and promise. 
A map with the names of the varieties, warranted true, will 
be furnished. 
The house is surrounded with flowers, shrubs and shade 
trees. The situation is cool in summer and warm in winter, 
and it would be difficult to find within so easy access (hourly 
or half-hourly) of the city, a place so rurally beautilul and so 
healthy as this. Apply to ALFRED FIELD,
