Frui, and Timber The colt n mills are now
So numerous in Europe and this country, that il
all of them were in full operation, all the ware
house. in the world would be soon filed to rcple-
ion and new worlds would be necessary to cause
adequate demand. Added TO the increase Of ma
chinery in producing excessive quantities Of cot
ton goods and consequent depression of prices, Is
also another cause. the increased consumption OF
six and worsted fabrics. 4 few year, since the
adde's of New-York would pay as high az one dol
lar and half per yard for Il beautifully printed
muslin. Now as beautifully printed worsted and
six stuis can be purchased for less than onethird
IF the price, and handsome plain silks at half Of
that price. If Sir Robert Peel, suggestion a. .
the alteration Of the B.itish Tariff of duties be
adopted, fifty of land in Wcthersiicld, can
Yield more profit, by horticulture, than the best cot
ton mill in England, providing the production in
other competing districts should no, be too large.
For more than twenty years in England the retail
price of onions has been from fifteen to nincteen
cents per bushel. The proposed duty is eleven
and half cents the bushel. Ii any man could
have only one cargo next fall and the management
of the market, that adventure would make
INDEPENDENT fortune. One of our large packet
ships could carry TWO thousand tons ct measure

A man who accompanied Mr.. Carter and the
Lions to England had to pay a dollar and quar-
ter for d Shakingquaker. broom in London. The
duty al these has only been twenty per cent. For
family use they ATE hardly known in that country
excepting by a few Americans for whom they are
specially imported. They have no article to use
so excellent. Even wooden clocks with the ma
ker's name on face. and cases, admitted at % pei

introduced. a dressing bureau made in Broomc-
street, NcwYork, at the cost OF $50, was sold for

plain and bird's-eye maple. Those kinds OF wood
had not been seen there. Good apples, such a.

The duty on Lard will be only one halt cent on
the pound. Tons weight OF lard have been ship
ped to be expressed into oil, and will come back

butter to England to be entered at the low duty "a
