Of its prolific bearing.

CANE cuTrER.-We refer tho sugar plan
iera in general TO a circular from Mr.. John p.
Bryan. Ills newly invented cane.cutter is
actually what he claims il to be, a cane. cutter
in reality. It viii be seen by the card Of the
highly respectable sugar.planters below, that
il has been tried to their satisfaction. Mr..
Josiah Barker il now taking off his crop with
this machine. where it can be seen at any
time, by those gentlemen who would like to
test its qualities personally. Mr.. Bryan will
also transport it on the plantation of any
planter wishing Il he will also expose it at
the next fair. This machine will cut as much
cane in seven minutes as nineteen hands can
do In the space Of an hour. Go and see the
instrument and judge for yourselves.
BRYAN's PATENT CANE CUTTER.
Mr.. John p. Bryan has the honor 10 an
nounce to the sugar planters of Louisiana,
that he has invented a Cane Cutter to work
by horse power and that it is now in success
full operation al the plantation Of Mr.. Josiah
Barker ut Manchac in the parish of East
Baton Rouge, where all are respectfully in
yited to witness its powers. Mr.. Bryan being
aware that tho sanguine estimates OF Pa
tentees are generally received with consider
able allowance. respectfully submits to the
publie, the accompanying voucher of expe-
rienccd planters, as an evidence that those
who may be at the trouble to call and see a
valuable invention, will not find themselves
engaged in a bootless errand.
Manehac, November ], lSi3.
The undersigned having seen the paten,
Cane Gutter Of Mr.. John 7. Bryan in opera
ton, tender to him this their opinion, that it is
perfectly successful, so far as to cut the canes
with great rapidity at the surface of the
ground that they esteem it to be a very val
liable instrument, which will justify the trou-
BILE of a visit from any part Of the sugar re-
gion, to those who may wish to see and to
use il.

Bonomless Lakes.--Near the summit of
n mountain in Portugal, in the province Of
BERN, N situated the lake Esura, the waters
Of which are Of a dark greenish hue. Al
though no fish have been ever seen in this
lake, yet frequently fragments Of ships,
such as broken masis, spars, &C., have
been found floating on it, though inland,
rs is its position. This circumstance has
very naturally led TO the belief, that II com
mnnicates with the ocean by some subter.
raneous passage; n belief which has been
still further strengthened from the fact, that
the face Of The lake becomes either rough
or smooth, us the ocean IL found 10 be agi.
tated or calm; and also, that during stor-
my weather, it produces a rumbling noise,
which may be heard Mt Il distance OF SIX
or eight miles. 1t is a notorious fact, that
to the present day, though frequently tried
bv the curious, its bottom has not been dis
covered. At IL shor, distance from Rosl.
mere, in Switzerland, a remarksbIe spring
is known TO arise from the centre Of n nat.
ural basin, Of more than thirteen square
feet in its area. Ofthe power which oper.
ases on it, we may form some conception
| when it is known to force, with much VIC
lence, n column Of water, Of eighteen feet
| circular, far above its snrface. Although
tried by the most ingenious and persever'
ing ~virtuosos 10 natural philosophy, its
depth has moi been yet ascertained; TINS
leaving 10 conjecture, The only plausible
csnclusiou, that this spring is the outlet o
some accommodating s~ubterraneous lake
which has no other issue for its waters.

large stature, and with open, benevolent co1n
tenances, Mrs. Fry was born nfhe same year
with the late DR. Charming. and is now about
63. She has sandy hair, blue eyes and re.
scmbles very much the wax figures made to
initiate her. She is quite affable, and con-
verscd chiefly upon subjects connected with
prisons &c. She spoke Of the solitary system
Of prison discipline. and 10 inclined to oppose
If. She had a late Bnston Recorder in which
was an abstract Of Rev. Lewis Dwlght's
last report on prison discipline, and expressed
a desire 10 have the full report. To the
question, whether she did not intend TO visit
tho United States, she replied, mo, there is
so much TO do in Europe, and you have so
many active men and women in the United
! States who are engaged in such matters
Was told that she has a meeting every
Friday with the c~onyicts in Neugate, where
"wouderfui improvement has been accom-
plished among the females by her benevolent
and perseyering efforts" Mr. Gurtey told
me that on the late visit Of The King Of Prus-
sia 10 England, his majesty accompanied
Mrs. Fry 10 Newgate, walking arm ~ arm

FIRST SIGHT OF A STEAMBoAT-- A
woodsman, from the interior of Arkansas,
who had never been on board of a steamboat,
had occasion to go to st. Louis ashort time
since. From the bank of the river he hailed

"Captain, what's the fare to St Louis?"
"What part of the boat do you wish to 90

THE LAND OFFIcEs.-We are informed
that orders have been received from WASH
ington to remove the land Offices, at Dom
aldsonville and Greensbnrg, to Baton Rouge
and that they will be united there shortly.
This is the only move of John Tyler's ad-
ministration, that we remember, which is
worthy Of consideration. The public has
long suffered from the intolerable inconven-
ience ofgetting to such out of the way pla-
ces as Greensburg and Donaldsonville, on
land bnsiness.-Louis u Chronicle.

Sngar-Since our report Of Saturday last,
n few more parcels of the new crop have
come 10 hand, but the demand being very linz
tied. only small sales have been made TO the
extent Of about 20 bids. at 81 a &c. per ID.
In old sugar the transactions have likewise
been very limited, at prices ranging from 5a
a 6bc. for extreme qualities.
jHolasses-The demand for m~olasses CONT
nues very languid, and since the receipt OF
some barrels Of the new crop, the price Of old
has failed considerably. We quote it now
from ii n lSc., according to quality. New
molasses has been sold by the single barrel
al % cents.
Four-The operations in this article since
our last have been very limited, but the mark
ct has displayed more firmness in consequent
&c Of the light receipts. No sales have since
been made below $4, and we now quote Ohio
ga a 4 l2a per Dbl. st. Louis IA l24 425
per barrel.
Pork-The demand for this article CONT
nues on the most limited scale, and IT IS i'm
possible to effect sales to any extent even at
our reduced figures. The stock consists prin-
cipally Of Mess, which is selling aloWly at
$40 per Dbl. OF Prime there is very little IN
market, we quote it 30 SO; M. 0. 30 % a
80 so per Dbl.
Beef-The market has experienced no
change since our last !; some few barrels of
new beef have been received, but we hear OF
no sales. We quote Mess in bbls. $40 a TO
80; half bbls. SIS so a 6 Prime $7 a 7 80
per barrel.
Lard-The market is rather quiet as there
is but little demand for export. A sale Of
barrel lard was made on Saturday, at 81 cts.
being the only transaction OF importance that
has come 10 our knowledge. We quote 5 a
Gle, for extreme qualities in barrels and kegs.
Bacon-As noticed of late, the market re-
mains excessively dull, with a large and &C
curnulating stock, rendering 1t difficult to
make any extensive sales unless at a further
reduction in price. We quote Sides 81 a &c.
Shoulders &c.; uncanvassed Hams 4f a Sic;
canvassed Hams and extra cured 6 a 8 cents
per pound.
Bagging and Bale Rope-We quote West
ern bagging ID a l3ac. cash, and IA a l5c. on
time. Western bale rope 4 a SIC. cash, and
81 a Gle. on time.
Whiskey-The large supply has induced
holders to give way, and since our last a fair
business has been transacted at III a lSc.,
according to proof. There is scarcely any
common whiskey in market.
Co0ee-The article is arriving freely, but
the demand does not by any means keep pace
with the supply. There is no change in pri-
ces, but they are tending downward. We
quote Rio u &c. per lb. Havana prime
green "a a &c.
Candles-The supply and demand are both
moderate, but prices are steadily maintained.
We quote New Bedford Sperm 81 a 80 cents.
Nantucket 81 a 32c. per lb.
Sah-The declining tendency noticed in
our last still continues, and the demand even
at these reduced rates is very limited. From
shipboard, coarse and fine is selling in lots at
ST. 27a to 81 &c per sack. The store price
is 81 80 a l 40 per sack. There is no Turks
Island salt in market.
