The single county of Rensaelaer 
will this 
year manufacture of the above articles 
the val'ue 
of 600,000 dollars, and it may be affirmed that the present annual value ot manufactures in 
the State o ' New York only exceeds 16,000,000 dollars. This State contains about 1,280^000 
sheep, 500,000 horses, and one million neat cattle. The capital stock of the several incor¬ 
porated banks is 11,690,000 dollars. 
State of Commerce in Liverpool.—British plantation sugars have dropped about Is. per cwt. 
About 500 hhds. have been exposed to the hammer during the week, of winch a great part 
were withdrawn, buyers being scarce. As the quantity of coffee Increases so the price of is 
declines. The demand for rum is chiefly confined to small parcels ter home consumption. 
The price is very steady. Dye \vooqs continue low. Brimstone is exceedingly scarce. Raw 
silks are without much alteration; but thrown silks are very much in the advance, particu¬ 
larly piedmonts. The prices of cottons are lew in the extreme, particularly for Brazil and 
Dutch xottons. The regular trade only coxe into the markets as buyers. The sales of the 
week, including those sold by auction, amount to about 4800 packages. The tobacco market 
continues much in the same state as before noticed- Tar is in demand and supports its price. 
The demand for ashes is very limited. Rice has been a good deal enquired for, and about 800 
casks have been sold during the week; 22s. to 23s. is obtained for'nne old, and 24s. for new, 
but the latter is very scarce, little or none remaining with the importers; and as most of the 
holders of rice are speculators in the article, they are unwilling to sell at these low prices. 
American flax-seed is in demand. Clover seed is enquired for. Staves are getting scarce, 
and obtain an advance of price. Tallows continue to iniprove. -toap is likewise on the advance. 
The two late sales of St. Domingo, mahogany at this market were of good quality, and average 
20|;d. and 20|^d. per cubic foot. The sales of turpentine during the week have amounted to 
SOO bis. which averaged at 18s. 6^d. 
The sheeps wool imported into great Britain on an average of four years ending 5.th January 
1811, was 7,865,5671bs. and the quantity impoited in the half years ending 5th July 1811,

MONTHLY BOTANICAL RCFOHT. 
are glad to accept, at irregular periods, nowand then, a Number of the Botanist’s 
Repository. Si.uce we last mentioned this work in June, we have received only 
o.ne number, and that one less interesting than some others. We shall proceed to enume¬ 
rate its contents. 
Trichilia ederata. Native of the V. est Indies, and consequentiy with us an inhabitant of 
the baik-ito'.e. It coiresponds so well with Swartz’s character of moichaia, that we suspect 
it to be the some; for though described here*, as h.aving four petals, it apipears by the fi-gure 
to be iiionopetaious. Sioane’s figure referred to by S.vartz as a synonym of bis mesekati 
will no-t decide the question. Perhaps though said by our author to be a West-lndian plant, 
it nu;\ alter all be a native of New Holland.
