Just Published, Fifth Thousand, and thay be had - FOR NOTHING, a PAMPHLET, on MIND and NERVOUS COMPLAINTS, and on the new and only successful means of curing those obstinate maladies, as disco vered and employed by Mr. WM. ADAMS, 23, Doughty-street, Mecklenburgh-square, London. There are hundreds of persons who, in the midst of plenty, are harrassed and annoyed by an endless variety of anomalous and painful feelings, which embitter existence, render life a daily misery, and convert even social endearments into sources of irritation and pique. Such are solicited to read the above Pamphlet. In it they will perceive the necessity for and the advantages of immediate recourse to the treatment, sanctioned by experience and by the testimonials of the cured. Will be•sent to any address, post paid, on receipt of two stumps. TERMS.—The means of Cure can be sent to all parts of the world, with full directions, and the patient cured at home, or more expeditiously by a temporary residence in London. The only charge made is the averaged cost price of the means of Cure—One Guinea per week. Respectable but poor persons pay only half of the averaged cost price—Half a Guinea per week. TESTIMONIALS OF THh PUBLIC PRESS. " There are no diseases which have more puzzled the faculty than nervous complaints and insanity. Doctors have both been unable to account for them and to prescribe any means of cure. This darkness has, however, been cleared away by the clever author of the above pamphlet, in which he explains his theory of cure in a very rational manner, and we feel certain that it will induce many to apply to Mr. Adams for his able assistange."—The Chronicle, Dec., 1846. "We cordially recommend all nervous persons to submit their cases to the skill of Mr. Adams, the author of a pamphlet on Mind or Nervous Complaints and Insanity."—Farmer's Journal, July, 1846. " A most useful and important pamphlet."—London Mer cantile Journal, Sept., 1846. " We recommend Mr. Adams to those of our readers who are nervous, and wish to be cured."—Bedford Times, Oct., 1846.

'The means of removing all Ner vous or Mental Disease. By these discoveries he cured himself of a deep rooted Nervous Complaint of 14 years duration. And, as 30 years ago nobody could cure these complaints, or can now, but himself, he has for 30 years cured them from benevo lence rather than gain ; and, out of 14,000 nobles, nobleses, M.P.'s, admirals, generals, barristers, clergymen, physicians, surgeons, tradesmen, &c. &c., he -knows not 20 uncured who have followed his advice.

GRIFFITH JONES, Secretary. FUND FOR THE TEMPORAL RELIEF OF THE SUFFERING POOR OF IRELAND, THROUGH THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE CLERGY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. APPEAL TO THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. "Whoso bath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassin from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ?"-1 John ii o i. 17. "As we have therefore opportunity, let ns do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." — Gal. vi. 10. The COMMITTEE appointed so manage the above fund, in this their third Address to the Christians of the United Empire, beg leave to direct especial attention to the agency which they have, from the first, been led to adopt, and winch will, they trust, continue to commend itself, as being at once simple, inexpensive and efficient—they allude to the Clergy of the Church of Ireland, upwards of two thousand of whom are widely scattered over this country, even in its wildest and re motest parts. Calumniated as the religion of Protestants has been to our Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen, it is surely a matter of the utmost moment that we should exhibit a practical refutation of such slanders, and demonstrate to all, now in the period of Ire land's dire emergencyi thatours is a "faith which worketh by love," even to enemies. ,This the Committee feel. persuaded can be•effectually done by continuing to use the Clergy of the Established. Church as the dispensers of the bounty entrusted to their care by their fellow Christians. Thus, also, a gua rantee is given that none of their funds will be expended on improper objects, or for the promotion of improper ends. The Committee, moreover, feel that sympathy for the suffer ing clergy themselves requires this at their hands. Placed in the midst of a fiery trial of famine - and disease, their houses are daily surrounded by dying multitudes of all religions per snasions, who look up to them as their natural and tried bene factors. ,It surely becomes their brethren of the household of faith to lighten, as far as may lie in their power, the heavy load of anxiety under which the) labour—anxiety for the spiritual, as well as temporal, welfare of the perishing multitudes over whom the providence of God has placed them, and who are now brought, through his inscrutable wisdom and goodness, to receive,with deeper attention than ever before, the lessons of .divine ruth. _ The Committee have received many testimonies, from differ ent parts of the country, to the value of their exertions, for the necessity for the instrumentality they are employing. One clergyman writes as follows: — "Will you convey to the Committee my sincere thanks for their aid, Through the assistance kind friends have given me, I have been enabled to make myself felt as the rector of the parish. I have two boilers established, six miles apart, in the poorest districts of my parish. I have now a bakery at work in the hart of a mountain district, thus giving the poor on the mountains bread 3d. under the usual price, tesbles saving them a walk of fourteen or fifteen miles. A second bakery will be set up in a few days. I gave free tickets on our poor kitchen to many—to widows, to the sick, to families, no member of which was earning wages. Fever rages. The money entrusted to me has saved menu lives. The whole of the money raised for the soup kitchen, and for relieving the sick poor, has been placed at my sole disposal. I have asked a most worthy pa rishioner to be my treasurer. He, his wife, and I, manage the money. Your committee will believe, that administering nearly individual relief, in a parish of upwards of 25,000 acres, is a matter of no light labour." • The Committee deem it unnecessary, in their present appeal, to adduce further proof of a fact, now by all admitted, that calamity, on a national scale, and of unparalleled severity, has befallen the land. Their earnest prayer is, that 'national re pentance and humiliaticin may in time ensue, "lest someworse thing come upon us." In conclusion, they desire.it to be un derstood, that the benefits of this fund are not confined to Any district, or to professors of any particular creed, but are de signed to he coextensive with the misery that prevails. CAN THIS APPEAL BE MADE TO BRITISH CHRISTIANS IN VAIN?

During last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat in the port of London, were unusually small, while those of all other articles of home produce were on a very limited scale: By land carriage and samples, the receipts were trifling; and the same observations may be applied to those from Ireland and Scotland. The imports of foreign corn, pulse, and flour were limited. Fresh up to-day, a moderate quantity of wheat of home produce reached us from Essex ; but the supply from Kent, Cambridgeshire, &C. was small. The market opened by the factors demanding an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last —arising from the limited number of samples brought forward, of from 4s to 55 per qr. At that improvement no sales were effected; and the trade be came excessively heavy—so dull, inteed, that up to twelve o'clock scarcely a single parcel had changed hands. Under these circumstances, we have to report unusual dulness in the trade, and, in some instances, a decline of quite Is. per qr. in the rates paid on this day se'nnight. At the conc l u si on of business, a clearance hadnot been effected. The show of Foreign was again small, yet, owing to the millers evincing an uneasiness to purchase at present prices, the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations. Not withstanding the quantity of Barley was limited, the trade with that article was exceedingly dull, at an abatement in value of from Is. to 2s. per quarter. Superfine White Malt moved off slowly at full prices; but all other kinds might have been pur chased on someweat easier terms. With Oats we are again scantily supplied. Still, however, the Oat trade was slow, and prices were with difficulty supported. The sale of Beans was heavy, and when transactions were forced Is to 25 per qr. less money was taken. In Peas next to nothing was doing, ata re duction of Is per qr. The Flour trade was very dull, both for sack and barrelled parcels, at barely late rates. Indian Corn was dull. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MA RKET.—YESTERDAY. The number of home-fed Beasts on sale was seasonably ex tensive, and of full average condition, yet the actual weight of Beef was not equal to that exhibited on Monday last. The dead markets being heavily supplied with country-killed meat, and the weather by no means favourable to slaughtering, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline on last week's quotations of 2d. per 81b.—the highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 4s. 2d. per 81b. The number of Sheep were again very su.all, owing to which the salesmen demanded advanced rates for that description of stock. In some instances, a trifle more money was paid for the primest old Downs, but as this advance was by no means general, we can make no alteration in our last week's rates. The trade, however, must be considered firm ; and a good clearance was effected. There were about 300 shorn Sheep of fered. With Calves we are scantily supplied; yet the veal trade was heavy, at the late decline in yalue. Pigs were in moderate supply and sluggish inquiry at unal tered rates. MONEY MARKET.-Y ESTERDAY. The financial expose of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the subject of speculation in the monetary circles this morn ing ; but nothing new has transpired on the question, and bu siness has been held in abeyance with little change in prices up to this time. v There hae been but little business done to-day in the Stock Exchange, and but little alteration in prices has taken place. Consols have been alternately buyers anti sellers at 901 for money and the present account ; Exchequer-bills 2 6 pm. ; Spanish Five per Cents. 24 1; ditto Threes 354 THE NEW ORLEANS ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.—This justly celebrated band of American melodists have con cluded their engagement at the Adelphi Theatre, where their performances throughout drew forth enthusiastic and encouraging bursts of applause. We are happy to say that they purpose to prolong their stay in the town yet a little longer. They have taken the Liver Theatre, in which they last night gave the first of a new series of their amusing and highly interesting concerts. The audience was numerous and respectable, and the "niggers" ap peared to excel their former selves, and were repeatedly and loudly encored. We have not room to enter into de tails of their several feats, vocal, instrumental, and, we may add, gymnastic. Suffice it to say that they exhibit a versatility of talent which is truly astonishing ; that they far surpass all former essayists in depicting negro character, agility, and song in its more civilised condition, with a just perception of its quaintness and drollery, as well as of the occasional pathos that, in common with the white man, is exhibited by the Ethiop. There is nothing of coarseness, but much of originality, the pieces being varied nightly. Amongst the perfor mances of last Week, which we noticed as peculiarly ex cellent were " Mary Blane," (as an American,) by Mr. Swain ; " Charmin' Susiana," by Sandford ; solos on the violin, by Ole Bull, a mere youth, but very talented ; " Lucy Neal," &c. The Ethiopians, in fine, must be seen and heard to have their merits duly appreciated. We happen to know, however, that the whole corps are gen tlemen in education and manner; that they are linked together as brothers ; and that their main object is to impart a just idea of negro feeling and talent in the principal cities in England and on the continent of Europe. RAIN UNKNOWN BEFORE THE FLOOD.—May I request (through the medium of your columns) from my clerical brethren, the statement of any reasons they may have to offer, in refutation of an opinion I hold that rain was unknown in the world till the time of the deluge. This opinion I ground on Genesis ii. 5,6, compared with Ge nesis ix. 13, and 14. In the former passage we are told that " the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth," but that He " watered the whole face of the ground by a mist " that went up from the earth ; and in the latter passage it was intimated that the rainbow was seen for the first time, not till after the deluge. Hence it appears to me easier and safer to suppose that there had been neither rain nor rainbow before the flood, —than to suppose that the fall of rain had been an ordinary occur rence for upwards of 1,600 years, without the rainbow being frequently seen as it is now ; and the conclusion to which I am led is, that, previously to the universal deluge, there had been no rain; but that instead of it, " there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground," and that, consequently, not till after the deluge was the rainbow seen. when the Lord God said unto Noah, " I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall come to pass," &c. What form of words can, indeed, more plainly intimate, rather I would say, declare , that it was then so " set" for the first time, and that, therefore, both it and that, wherein it was " set," were objects alike unknown before the flood ? Had the rainbow been manifested before the flood, how could it be a sign that there should be no repetition of the same awful catastrophe ? On the other hand, how could it have been otherwise than manifested had the fall of rain, one of the causes of it (as its na me imports), been an rdinary occurrence ? To suppose that rain had been constantly falling from the days of Adam until the time of Noah, without having o,nce—not to say often—in the course of one thousand six hundred years by the refraction of the rays of the sun, produced a rainbow, woule. be, it appears to me, to suppose the intervention of a repeated miracle to prevent it. Correspondent of Charchlmd State Gazette. INTERVIEW BETWEEN ALEXANDER THE GREAT AND THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.—A remarkable interview took place between the Emperor of China and Alexander the Great, an account of which has been translated from a Persian work by the late Sir John Malcolm. After Alex ander had made war against Paor or Porui, and slain him, he marched against the Emperor of China. That monarch did not consider himself equal to the conflict, and went in disguise to the Grecian camp. He was discovered, and brought to Alexander, who asked him how he could act in such a manner. The Emperor replied : " I was anxious to see you, and your army ; I could have no fear on my own account, as I knew I was not an object of dread to Alexander ; besides, if he were to slay me, my subjects would instantly raise another king to the throne. But of this I can have no fear, as I am satisfied Alexander can never be displeased with an action that shows a solicitude to obtain his friendship." The conqueror was completely overcome by this truly Chinese flattery, and concluded a treaty by which China was spared on condition of paying tribute. The emperor returned to his capital to make preparations for the entertainment of his great ally ; and the third day he returned with an army, the dust of which announced its great numbers, which made Alexander pre pare his force for battle. When both lines were opposite, the Emperor of China, with his ministers and nobles, alighted and went towards the Grecian Pilhce; who asked him why he had broken faith. " I wished," said the Emperor, "to show the number of my army, that you might be satisfied I made peace from other motives than an inability to make war. It was from consulting the stars, that I have been led to submit. The Heavens aid you, and I war not with them." Alexander was so grati fied; that he released the Emperor from paying tribute, as he was too wise, too pious, and too great a prince ; he was perfectly satisfied to have his friendship. The Emperor took his leave, and sent a present of jewels, gold, and beautiful ladies, to the conqueror. [From a Persian work called Zeenut-ul Tuarikh.]—MontgomeryMartin's China. TIIE MEXICAN HORSE-TAMER. - From infancy the vaquero is trained to horsemanship ; his legs can no sooner cross a horse than his father fastens him with a handker chief to the back of the saddle, and rides over hill and val ley with him. He grows up thus. , A clay comes when his legs are bowed along the , sides of the horse, and his whole body made supple by its uneven pace. The va quero then learns in ins wanderings to throw the lasso, to kiwi - the ground (saber la tierra), that is, to join the reasoning of man to the instinct of the horse, which dis cerns .at a distance of twenty .leagues the odour of the plants he is accustomed to tread, the emanations of the trees which shade him nightly, and takes a direct course over plains mountains, or torrents, towards the querencia he likes best. Amidst the solitudes in which he spends his life, without regular roads, unacquainted with the spots where a keen pursuit may lead him, the - vaquero never hesitates as to the road he ought to follow. The moss on the trees, the course of the rivers or of rivulets, the position of the sun, the leaning of the grasses, the sighs .of the wind, are so many signs which the desert seems to multiply under his feet to indicate his road. To this singular keenness of perception the vaquero addsunu sual moderation. Scraps of tortillas (cakes of maize baked on an iron plate, which almost every where take the place of bread), a bit of dried meat, a pomegranite, a pimento, a cigarette of maize straw, sustain him a whole day; pud dles of reddish water, forgotten by the sun . in some print of a bull's or horse's hoof, refresh him ; he is equally in sensible to the chilly nights and scorching days. Once in pursuit of sonic animal, nothing stops his career ; neith er ravines, torrents, nor forests. Clothed in leather froth head to foot, lie gallops intrepidly through the forests as if in the• middle of plains. Sometimes bent to the right or left over his steed as if his body were without bones, sometlines his torso bent over the fore part of his saddle, or with his head thrown back over the horse's croup so as to avoid contact with the large branches, which would `otherwise dash out his brains, he never slackens the iMpe limsity - of his course. When his 'inevitable lasso has caught the he is in pursuit of to tame, intrepidity spews itself united to suppleness and vigour. Then the business of the vaquero becomes perilo us ; but, at the end of a two hours' struggle, the horse returns docile, his body covered with foam, his eyes sunken—broken in, in short. Sometimes he brings hack lifeless the•horseman whom he has dashed against a rock, : but the vaquero died as he ought —on his home !—Fra4er'4. Magazine. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The favourable news brought by the Halifax steamer, combined with the defeat of Lord George Bentinck's rail way scheme for Ireland, gave a buoyant tendency to our money market towards the close of the week, the demand both at the bank and out of doors being lightened. More cheering accounts are beginning to be entertained of the sufficiency of the supply of food ; and speculation in grain of all descriptions has, in consequence, received a check which promises to be a permanent one. The transactions in our market for cotton have been limited, at reduced prices, the quantity sold.during the week being only 14,520 bales, of which speculators took 1250, and exporters 1050, leaving 12220 for consumption. The imports have, on the other hand, been rather large, viz., 48,391 bales. Prices are fully d. per lb. lower at the close of the week, and ld. below those of the Ist of January. The short crop outcry, like most other previous outcries of the kind, has given way to a great extent. The produce, it is now stated confidently, will reach 2,100,000" bales, whilst some even predict 100,000 more. The pick ing for the season commenced at least a month later than last year; yet the arrivals at the ports already exceed those of a corresponding period of 1846 by 20 or 30,000 bales. The extensive reduction of the hours in the fac tories will tend to render the deficiency in our total stock on hand unfelt. In the manufacturing districts all is gloom ,• and the fall in the price of the raw material, instead of bringing the prices of yarns and cloth into something like a rela tive proportion to that of the raw material, appears to have created increased distrust and disinclination on the part of purchasers to come freely into the market. The millowners in the district of Stalybridge—the last to adopt the short time movement—have begun to work eight hours a day ; and although some houses in other districts have resumed full hours, there is every prospect that a further restriction must be resorted to, and too much prospect that some mills will be compelled to cease working altogether. The state of some of our foreign markets, however, affords a hope that a revival of the energy of our manufacturers is not far distant. In the United States a large spring business has already been done; and the rich harvest, which is being reaped by the American farmers must result in increased orders for British fabrics in return. The same cause must operate to our advantage in some of the Continental markets. Our colonial advices received during the week are upon the whole encouraging. - From the Mauritius, our ac counts received to the 11th December state that the ex ports of sugar up to the 30th November, last year, were 45,134,2001b5., against 35,056,9991b5. in the preceding year. From Jamaica, however, we have discouraging ac:.- counts. A recent communication states that,—" During the whole of 1846 the exports of British goods to Colom bia and Cuba barely equalled the half shipped in 1845 ; and the trifling sum refunded in drawbacks by the Re ceiver-General testifies the limited amount of our foreign commerce. Our foreign trade is also leaving us. The heavy imposts in the shape of tonnage duties, and the high rates from freight, place us in most unequal compe tition with other islands, particularly that of St. Thomas, which, although not so advantageously situate in a geo graphical point of view, possesses the advantage over us in every other respect. The island or home trade has also considerably diminished compared with what it was in 1845,. Here agricultural distress has been severely felt, in adcfi t on to the system of heavy taxation, direct and indirect. The trade of 1846, taken altogether, must be regarded as the most unsatisfactory since the year 1841." Accounts from St. John's, New Brunswick, to the, 23d January, quote the rate of sterling bills 8 per cent. Freights for England had been effected at 365. for timber, and at 111 s. 3d. for deals. White pine was quoted 275. 6d. to 30s. ; red pine 15s. to 205., and birch 15s. to 225. 6d. By the arrival, on Sunday, of the packet-ship Oxford, from New York, in 17 days, we have New York papers to the 4th instant. The information which they contain is not very important. In cotton a pretty large business had been done since the sailing of the steamer, although the market was less excited—prices firm. Up to the last dates, there was an excess in the arrivals of cotton at the ports of 29,394 bales over those of last year. The ex ports, however, from the United States to this country, still exhibit a decrease up to the last dates in this year as compared with the preceding two years. This may in part be attributed to the high freights asked and the pre ference given to bread stuffs. The advices from New Orleans are to the 25th ultimo. Business had been dull in cotton previous to the arrival of the ship Aberdeen, bringing accounts of the advanced prices in Europe, which created great excitement in the market, and a large business was done at advanced rates. The closing prices are quoted at ordinary to good ordinary 9/ to 10/, middling 10,i to 101, good middling 101 to 101, middling fair 10 to 11, fair Ilk to 111, good fair 12 to 12}c. . _ _ The adviccs from Savannah are to the 29th ult.. at which date the market was very firm at an advance of lc. closing at inferior 91-c. to 9tc., ordinary KC. to 10 1 4 c., middling:lolc. to lOic., middling fair 101 c. to 10.1 c.; round bales of a similar quality are about lc. to c. per lb. cheaper ; sales of the week 4,231 bales. Transactions in Sea Island limited ; sales 157 bales. At Charleston, Jan 30, the advices, per Hibernia, had caused an advance ofl to le. per lb. At Mobile. to the 23rd, a large•business had been done, the sales for the week ending 23rd ult., being 23,500 bales at 10 to 111 cents. The corn markets at all the ports had been driven upward by the advices per Hibernia, but were showing symptoms of dulness at the last dates. The advance, however, taken in connection with the decline here since the departure of the steamer, will ensure the recurrence of some ruinous reverses amongst the speculators in the article. From January 23d to 30th, Genesee flour rose from 45,62 to 55,68 i per barrel to 47. at which sales were made. Wheat, on the 23d January, was at s'l,lo to 41,12 per bushel ; on the 30th it was $1,50, sales. Indian corn roe from 72c. to 76c. per bushel on the 23d, to 81 on the 30th. Freights to Great Britain, &c. have still further advanced, the supply of vessels being entirely inadequate to the demand. To Liverpool the engagements have been at 7s. for Flour, (7s. &l. asked,) 22d. to 25d. for Grain in bags and bulk, (26d. asked ahead,) 80s. for Cheese, 7-16 d. for square Cotton, (i t d. asked ahead,) &c . ; to Newry 25d. for Co rn in bags Bs. 3d. for Flour; to Cork and a market, Bs. for Flour, and 25d. for Corn; to other Irish ports, 7s. 6d. and 240. to 25d. To London there is no change. To Havre there is not much offering; 1 dollar 374 cents is asked for Flour. We hear of several ships char tered at the eastward, to load at Philadelphia and Baltimore, for Liverpool, at 7s. 6d. up to 9s. for Flour, and 24d. for Corn in bags; and some in Philadelphia at Ss. to 95., including one yet on the stocks, at the latter rate. To Liverpool : Cotton, Bq. and rd. bales 7-16 d. to id. per lb. ; Wool, id. ; Seeds, 15s to 16s. per tee. ; Beef, 128. ; Beef and Pork, Bs. per barrel; Flour, Is. Turpentine, North County, ' Is. to Bs. ; Leather id. per lb. • Heavy Goods, 758. to 80s. per ton ; Grain, in bags, 23d. to 25d. per bushel. EXCHA NOE.-There has been nothing of importance done n Foreign since our last, and our quotations are nominal ; Bills on London sixty days' sight, & sterling, 5t to fiti per cent. premium ; bills on Paris, sf. 40c. to sf. 374 c.; bills on Amster dam, 30ic. to 392 c.; bills on Antwerp, 390. to 391 c. ; bills on llambargh, Marco Banco, 341 c. to 35c. ; bills on Bremen, rix dollar, inc. to 77&c. The New York Morning Herald of the 4th instant, in an article on the agricultural resources of the United States, remarks that hitherto restrictions in Europe had discouraged their cultivation. " These obstacles," he continues, " are now, in a measure removed, an d th e agricultural resources of those States will hereafter be most rapidly developed, and we shall, even with our ex travagant anticipations, be surprised at the annual pro ducts of such States as Indiana and Illonois. These two States can, if pushed, with favourable seasons, prodtice enough to supply our whole demand for consumption, leaving the production of breadstuffs in all the other States to supply any foreign demand that may arise." The quantity of wheat grown in the United States was, in 1843, 100,310,856 bushels ; in 1844, 95,607,000; and in 1845, 106,548,000 bushels. The quantity of corn was, in 1843,494,618,306 bushels; in 1844, 421,953,000 bushels, and in 1845, 417,899,000 bushels. The :estimate for 1846, the correct returns not being available, is, that the aggregate product was 124 per cent. over that of 1845. The product of wheat is put down 'at 119,866,500 bushels, equal to 23,973,300 barrels of flour; and of corn 470,136,375 bushels. The surplus flour left for exportation, leaving sufficient grain for seed, is estimated at 3,173,000 barrels, or about double the quantity ever shipped from the country. Our contemporary says that, " Fifty cents a bushel for Indian corn, pays the producer a very handsome profit, and is equal to wheat at one dollar per bushel. We have no doubt contracts to any amount can be made now for corn, deliverable next fall, at fifty cents per bushel ; but our advice to the farmers is, avoid all contracts." This speaks volumes in proof of low prices of grain, so soon as our emergency is past, and average seasons in this country lend .their aid to the process of reduction. The value of wheat, corn, and cotton produced in the United States in each of the past four years has been as armexed: VALUE OF WHEAT, CORN AND COTTON PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. 1843. 1844. 1845. 1846.

PaovisioNs.—The market for Ohio Pork continues in an excited state, and prices have further considerably advanced. The sales are about 3,000 barrels, at 11 dollars 25 cents to 11 dollars 75 cents for prime, and 14 dollars 25 cents to 14 dollars 50 cents for mess ; at the close, 12 dollars and 15 dollars was Offered for 2,500 or 5,000 barrels; 200 barrels Baltimore prime mess sold on terms not made public.
