HULL MARKET.—Feb. B.
The continuance of severe weather prevents all
rest, with the interior, and confines the trade to the Mil"
leis for the consumption of the town. The farmers to-
day have been asking more money, and -in some partial
instances a trifle above last week's currency May have been
realised on the best runs, while, on all other qualities,
last week's prices live been supported. There is morn
inquiry a ter fin eign, but we do not hear of any advance
being obtained. In Oats and Beans no alteration. 133 r"
ley for malting supports its value, and is in fair request
scarcely any thing doing in oth(r qualities. Rapeseed and
Linseed dull sale, and no alteration in value.

THE ATAIRiIt.--The manor, Or wild 'cotto►t
tree, grows in Cuba to a yak size. There is one on ae
estate called Salta-Anna, a hundred feet high. Its trunk,,
which is 46 feet in circumference at the base, rises to 65
feet, without a single branch or a single knot on its whit*
bark. The branches are worthy of the stem, and cover A
diameter of 165 feet. This immense tree is in itself *
world, and ,helters•and feeds millions of insects. Several
p►rasitical plants aVach themselves to it. Wild
.piae
apples grow at the top, and the vine vegetates on the,
boughs, and, letting its branches droop to the earth, for"
nishes rats, mice, and the oppassum, which would find it.
dlieult to climb a smooth bark, a ladder, enabling. the'
to reach the pine-cups, which form so many natural re-
set voirs for the rain-water. The wood-louse founds ex-
tensive republics in this tree, and establishes its large, and
black cities at the juncture of some of the branches, whence
it descends to the ground by a covered way, which it con-
structs of mortar, and of which it even provides two--end
to ascend, and the other to descend by. This little ie",
sect is of the size of a flea, is inoffensive, and is a great
treat to the inhabitants of the poultry-yard, to whom it id
given in its nest.
