SALE OF SHAwLs.-The sale of ShaWIs at the
Apollo Rooms, yesterday, went off apparently to
the satisfaction of all concerned. The articles Of
fered for sale-all Of course the most choice and
rare of their kind-were hung around the room
the ladies' walked around it, sat around it,
chatted around it, debating whether blue, green,
orange or crimson should be esteemed as the
most novel; recent and fashionable of the primitive
colors whether Timbuctoo or Tartary, Cashmere
or Candahar produced the finest shawls and seve-
raj other legitimate topics.
The bidding was not keen, yet uniform and free.
reatsimlarity prevailed in the quality and styles
of the goods and the prices obtained, in
varied little. About twenty dollars was the upset
price, and that obtained was for the.most of them,
between thirty and forty. few went of higher,
but many more, again, brought.no more than from
seventeen to twenty-five dollars. The bidding was
not at all confined to the ladies there were not
few smart competitors among the male portion OF
the audience, but whether they were gentlemen
/" Of the trads,' or deputed by their ad!es-whether
they were doing business on commission, or on
their Gown hoek," doth not appear. 1t is, how
ever, Of noEconsequence; the shawls sold pretty
well-no questions being asked as to where they
came from-whether from Persia, Turkey, China,
or India, and Of course no remarks made by Mr..
Ludlow upon such foreign topic. One connois-
sieur we overheard remarking to his neghbor that
they smacked of Paisley, and smelt like London,
outihe catalogue, the other hand, said they were
from the domnons Of the Great Mogul and the
Cham OF Tartary, from Hyderabad, Astrabad, Je-
lalabad and Bagdad from Persia, Hindostan and
the territory of that superexceIlent Oriental sove
reign, who procaims himself Brother Of the Sun,
Cousin OF the Moon, and King OF the Twenty-four
Umbrellas.
Nearly all the stock was sold, but there was no
great anxiety manifested to continue at the prices
which may be regarded as very little if any thing
below the value Of the shawls sold and it is very
likely that another sale .of shawls- Cashmere
shaws, minds not very far distant. Success to
trade.

The LATE PROPRIETOR OF PRosrEor HALL
Mr. Nowlan, the gentlemanly and popular proprie-
tor of Prospect Hall, has sold cut that establish
ment and retires from it altogether. We trust that
he will not continue in retirement--as it might be
called-for any heightened period. No one who
has had The management of such an establishment
az that which he has just disposed Of, ever gave
more satisfaction to the public. Mr. Newlan was
first selected by the Harlem Rail Road Company,
on the opening Of the tunnel to occupy that house,
and his management of it from first to last has
been successful and creditablc in the highest
degree. His entertainments to the Corporation
and other public bodiss--his uniformly courteous
attention to his guests-his transformations hospi-
taiity-his remarkable tact and gentemanly de-
meanor, all rendered his house one of the most
agreeable and favorite resorts in the neighbourhood
Of this city We trust next spring to see Mr..
Nowlan once more in situation where his talents
and experience as an hotel-keeper will again serve
he public.

STRANGERS IN THE CITY.-A number of political
strangers Of distinction are in the city at present.;
not so much, probably, to give particular direc-
ion to party movements, to look on and see
what is passing. We perceive that Joseph Gales,
Esq the editor Of the National Lteliigencer, is
here, with his family. Mr.. Gales has long been
before the public an editor and was at one time
he only reporter for the newspapers in Washing
ton. If Mr.. Clay and the wings should succeed by
the aid Of the natives" Messrs. Gales IL Seaton
will probably be made printers to the next Congress
rather singular, when we recollect that Mr..
Gales is a foreigner by birth, although he has
spent three-fourths of his life in this country
Another stranger here just now, was Senator
Archer of Virginia. 1t is stated that he was here on
mission relative to the natives" With what
success he has met as yet, we do not know.

cial, and every other. During the next four years,
we have said, and we expectit, We shall have more
prosperous times, and make greater advances in
every thing that constitutes civilization and ma
Iiona greatness, than ever we have made in double
the time heretofore. All the elements Of civiliza-
ton, affecting the social, religious and commercial
Interests OF this great and mighty community, are
only awaiting the termination Of this Presidential
contestto leap forth with vigor and intensity,
that can only be likened to the speed OF the steam
engine with that OF the old numbering vehicles
drawn by horses or oxen, in which our fathers
journeyed over bad roads, full of distractions and
impediments. Let us, therefore, rejoice that the
prospect of having President of one kind or ano-
ther is nigh at hand; and that whoever be elec-
ted, the prosperity of the country is certain-the
dissolution of the Union impossbe-the re an
nexation OF Texas unavoidabe-and better times
than ever certain.

 CUTTING WHEAT EARLY.--From our own exprience, and from the experiments made by others, particularly the ably conducted ones of Mr. Hannam of England, Of which an ac- count has been given in a former volume oe the Cultvator, we have been convinced that farmers much more frequently err by allow ing their wheat 10 stand too long before cut ting, than by harvesting too early. We have never known an instance where loss was sustained from early cutting, kat iheTe IS not a year passes ill which more or less IS not suffered by. standing too long. Cut early. the berry IS wiliter, the skin thinner, and the flour better Tine following, which we find m the Michigan Farmer will add to tic proofs already given in the Cultivator, that eur posi- tion IS correct. ltls part of letter from Dr. Eldridge;
 Amasa Andrews Esq, Of this town, har- vested sixty acres of wheat last season, while it was so green and unripe, that every farmer in the neiggf5orhood thought, and did not hesitate to declare him mad He commenced cutting ;on days before siiy person 'hesght of beginning, and finished before others had begun. The berry when cut was soft, sad in that state known as being in the milk.' He has now threshed it; and being somewhat curious to learn the result Of the experiment, to-day went in company with Mr. Andrews To the mill, and examined the wheat Hound it plump, with peculiar transparency Of the berry, never before saw--whieh is to be attributed to the very thin coating of the bran. We weighed some and found that lt weighed just sxty-three lbs. to the measured btshel, and the experienced miller informed me that il made more -four and less bran than any wheat he ever saw.o .attaag CRitirator.

ASHES on LIME AROUND PosTs.-Where the articles are plenty and cheap, il is good economy to put some lime or ashes around the posts of fences to prevent rotting. In some dry soils, posts will become so rotten in four or five years that they are easily bro ken of at the surface of the ground, while the tops will last for fifty years.
 It seems proper, therefore. to take some care to prevent the rapid decay of posts just at the surface of the soil, where they are most exposed to alternate moisture and drought. Ii is this frequent wetting and drying that causes such rapid decay; for posts set in wet meadow will hold sound at the bottom longer than al the top And posfs in a moist clayey soil will last three times as long as n adryish gravel or sand. Posts kept perfectly wet or dry, will last longest.
 Worms are often found in timber at the surface of the ground, and they assistin weak ening the timber Perhaps 1t is owing to thi; that ashes are so useful in preserving the 1 posts when set in the ground.
 Whether it will pay cost to place some sub stance, as ashes, lime, charcoal or cinder around the foot of posts in common CT eteal fences, each owner can determine. But m; costly garden fence we are fully satisfied tha much may be saved. Any kind of post vii last twice as long in dry ground, with ashe; about the bottom of 1t, as without ashes- l Now is the time of year to make the trial.
