was ploughed in rough manner, and
was in bad order when the seed were

with barn manure some years past, and
was still IN good heart. The growth OF
the crop of milet was rapid and luxuri-
ant, insomuch that it attracted the atten-

and put away. During the whole Of this
process, the weather was as fine as could
be desired. The remaining acre, Which
was intended for seed, was graded on tbs

paper printed in New York, called the

principles of the Holy Alliance, al the

COMMERClAL..

We are indebted (says the New York
Gazetto) to our Boston correspondent,
MIR. Topliff, for the following interesting
table.
By ths Emerald. I have received from
correspondent, particular printed
statement ofthe shipping from Liverpool
TO every part ofthe world during the years
$780, 1871 and 1922, and as it is an inte-
resting document, give you that part OF
II relating TO this country, which shows
clearly the increasing trade of the United
States, and its Importance. The number
of tons shipping from Liverpool to the u.
States, during those three years, exceeds
that TO any other part Of the world, and
the next highest number is that of the
Irish trade, viz. 37,o99 tons the las,
year. You will perceive that the tom
mage to New York is nearly treble that
to any other part of the United States.
The aggregate number Of vessels and
tonnage, from Liverpool, to every par: of
the world, during those three years is as
follows: Vessels. Tonnage.
1890, 1887, 55O,OO6
1921, 1887, 52s,4l2
1892, S6s7, 5os,SI5
