There is little doing in the British market. Consols
are rather heavy, which may be attributed to the prevalent
scarcity of money in the house ; there are borrowers at 5'
per cent. Owing to the Spring trade !wing bad some
fear is entertained that the Bank Directors arc going to
put on the screw, and shorten their diivounts.

All the mate-

obStaEinAabSl°e,Nt7i the exception of
carrots. Green peas, turnips, early cabbage,
oniony, and let-
tuces, form the constituent parts of a soup far superior to either
real or mock turtfe. New potatoes have been repeatedly at
market, and are sold at 18d. per wee dish. Green peas are
cheaper in proportion, and a tolerable supply for a clay or two's
broth may he had for bd. Cherries are sometjmes show,s at
the cross, but they are not ae yet fully ripe. A friend, how.
ever, got a handful the other clay is the highest order, which
grew in the gacdeu of Mr. Ft aser, Irish. street. Mist pot-
herbs are thriving beautifully, and early cabbage is so well
hearted, that it forms a welcome addition at (boner time, now
that the old murphies arc leaving us before the new have come
fairly in. The present crop of mushrooms i, said to be large,
and ketchup, which is daily offered for sole, may be bought at
18d. per bottle. On our table we have a wheat ear, very nearly
fully disclosed, which was plucked from a field the property of
Mr. Ror.terion, Troqueer, with several stalks of barley in full
blow, that grew on some of the neighbouring farms. The
crops are ,aid to be moderately early when oats are seen ragging
at Kelton-hill fair (say this year the 30th of June), but should
the weather continue fine, they will be far in advance of the
above mark by the period stated. —Dumfries Courier.
On Tuesday mornin,,ff last, when the boat
Morning Star, of Cove, wcs engaged in the haddock fishing
off St. Abb's Head, one of the fishermen caught a large cod
fish, and when pulling it into the boat observed a fish in its
mouth. He immediately cut up the cod, and to his great as-
tonishment found in the stomach a grilse weighing about 41bs.

RATs.—These hideous and noxious vermin
were never known to abound in such numbers about our docks
as at present. Several vessels, from New Orleans, have lately
brought over thousands of the black rat, a bold and ferocious
species, whose size and cunning in avoiding the traps set fir
them, enable them to effect an immensity of mischief. It
would be highly desirable if, previous to leaving the graving
docks, the hatches of the vessels under repair were battened
down, and these destructive and loathsome creatures destroyed
by suffocation.—Liverpool Chronicle.
A WHOLE FAMILY AT A BIRT He—On

mother, are as well as can be expected.—Afonmou Bti

YoftK.—The Hon, J. C. Dundas does not in-

an address to Mr. N. R. Yorke, an active member of the Re_
