PRICE or MuLBERRY TREES.

There are but limited number Of mulberry
trees in the United States, and every week some
additional State is offering bounty to encour.
age the silk business. The value Of trees cannot
therefore materially depreciate until the grown
of this summer shall be thrown into the market
Foreign trees have nearly all arrived, and so poor
and defective have they proved, that they nave
hardly paid frtightage. The growth of last sea;
son IN this country are on hand, but divided
among vast number of purchasers, few de-
signing to sell, but the larger number intending
to use them for cultivation. The immense guam
ity which are growing in lighthouses and private
buildings, now promise to add but little to the
stock Of trees for in most cases they have prov
ed total failures. lighthouses prepared for the
purpose, succeed well where they have an under
heat but room where there is only a warm nj
mosphere, the sap in the cuttings throw up a
beautiful top, bnt no root, and after that is ex-
haustei they droop and die This is the result
of extensive experience here, and it will prove the
same elsewhere. Hence there is every eneour-
argement to purchase trees and to go into Guilt
walton this summer; for if one tree, which costs
81 now, will make or two hundred trees next
fall, even at a shilling apiece, will not raising
trees be lucrative business this seasonf But

Prentiss had spoken in behalf of the prisoners.
The argument was to be closed by the Prose-

Since the above was in type we learn from
the Louisville Journal that the trial OF Judge
Wilkinson and Mr.. Murdaugh ended in their
acquittal. The Journal says -" The jury

wHALINe.-The New York Journal Of Com
merce says that the barque Alexander Mans
field, in returning from her whaling voyage,
when off Cape May, on Monday of last week,
fell in with a large herd of Sperm Whales, of
which the men harpooned and killed five, two
of hich were lost from the night coming on
The blubber of the other three was brought into
port on deck. The captain says there were
whales enough in the herd 10 have loaded halt
dozen ships. If this be true, it would be well
10 recall some of our whaling vessels and station
them nearer home. We shou Id think il would
be quite as profitable as 10 send them out on a
three years cruise; as they might probably il
that space of time, meet with as large herd as
they will near the Western Islands.

FAILURE OF THE PHILADELPHIA
BANKS

News was received in New York on Wednes-
day evening last that the Philadelphia banks
had again suspended specie payments. The
United States Bank of Pennsylvania appears to
have taken the lead and 10 have dragged the
other banks down with it; and from subsequent
accounts there is every reason to believe that
the affairs OF the q" Great Regulator are in a
most deplorable condition. On Thursday
morning the steam ship Liverpool brought news
OF the dishonor of u. s. Bank drafts in Paris,
to the amount Of 6 100000 francs and the gen
eral belief 10 New York now is that The bank is
rotten to the core, and will never be able to re-
deem all its obligations. The Stock ofthe bank
fell on Saturday in Wall street as low as 60
cents on dollar, but on Monday it closed in
the exchange board at IS cents. The Balt-
Philadelphia was received. as have nearly all
other banks to the south. as far as we have ac-
counts.
The New York city Banks have, however,
nobly announced their determination to main
tain their integrity; which they say they can do,
and continde to afford the usual and greater
facilities to their customers than they could do
while the L. S. Bank was in the field, and
draining off their resources by its post notes.
We sincerely hope that they will sustain their
good resolutions. as upon them undoubtedly de-
pends the stability Of the New England Banks
Our own Banks are perfectly safe in any event
and the people have full confidence in them,
and they will continue 10 meet all their engage
ments to the public as long as any of their
neighbors.
