last week from Oahu, and has for part of her cargo 6100 baes

very successfully employed in raising the cane, and they will
shortly compete with the West Indies in supplying a part of
the world, at least, with that great staple, sugar.—New York

CHEAP BUTTER, &c.—Such has been the immense quan-
' of butter brought into the Retford market during the
city
Las two or three weeks, that it has become quite a " drug."
Last Saturday the very best dairies only made 7d. per lb ,
whilst inferior ones with difficulty :realised 4d. to 6d. New.
milk is likewise more plentiful at Retford at the present time
than we have known it for the last twenty years—so much
so, weed, that it is with the greatest difficulty one-half of
it can be disposed of ; and a talk is quite current that the in-
habitants are to have this article at tariff prices during the
present week. As a proof also that calves are plentiful, and
not in very great request in that neighbourhood, we may
state that a few days ago Mr. Howe, of the Crown Inn, bar-
tered away a calf for a hen and cl ' k lie ens, pluming himself at
the same time that he had made the best in the bargain. The
hen and chickens on the same day were purchased by the
farming bailiff of a neighbouring gentleman for 7s. 6d., and
are now making up for the future garnishings of their mas-
ter's table.—Doncaster Gazette.
MYSTERIOUS CASE.—At an early hour this morning, the
watchmen in the vicinity of St. Enoch-s4luare were informed
by two girls of the town, who had been hovering about that
quarter, that they had observed two persons puss into Adam.s:

Suspicion being excited by this circumstance as to the na-
ture of the premises occupied as cellars, inquiry was made at
the neighbours, when all of them, with one exception, got
owners. The cellar without an owner bein h
g -roken open, a
small still, and the other materials for whiskey manufacture,
were discovered, and in such a state as indicated that they
bad been in recent use. This is the only clue that has been
obtained in the mean time to account for the dead b d • o y in
the cart. It is supposed by those conversant with tile case
that ArGennigal had been in the cellar on Saturday evening
last, and had been indulging too freely in the produce of the
still, when the liquor overpowered him, and that theparties
connected with the illegal traffic had taken the above
of ridding themsel strangehe body. However considerable method
the case is rather a one, and has excited be'
