The products of this model farm, as given
by the superintendent and teacher. are
quite remarkable. Seven hundred and
twenty bushels fpoiaioes per acres are CIV

states that the largest crop he ever obtain

feet apart each way. Medium sized po-
tatoes, planted whole, are preferred TO
cut ones. The experiment has beenmade,
and the difference between the whole po-
tatoes and cuttings was marked and obvi-
Gus in favour OF the former. The cattle
on the farm are soiied. Italian rye grass
is mentioned as one of the best articles
for feeding. 1t is cut four times in sea-
son, yielding at each cutting good crop.
Lucerne is sometimes cut FIVE times. The
Scotch potatoe oat, and the Hopetown
ont, are the varieties of this grain here
raised. They yield an average ofS0
bushels per acre, and weigh about A lbs.

THE N1AKxErs--Bus1NEss, &C.

We perceive the "Fofeign News" brought out
by the Steamship Caledonia from England, copious
extracts from which will be found in our columns
this week, has produced considerable effect on our
markets. The Baltimore American of Satur-
day, the 9th, says that the news regarded by
those engaged in the Flour and Wheat trade as
calculated not only TO prevent any advance in pri-
ces, but as likely to produce decline, especially
in Wheat. The Editors remark, that in their ex-
ploraton Of the market. they found that opinion
be general But the accounts which receive
from the New York papers 90 not tally with the
opinions of our Baltimore friends. For instance.
the New York Express says :-"Private letters
from Europe do not tally with many Of the newspa-
per accounts, taken from the English papers. 1t
was supposed, from published statements that
Flour would have declined, instead of which, the
article has been in active demand. tennessee
Flour, to the extent of several thousand barrels,
has been sold at $4.75, price that could not have
been readily obtained yesterday" The N. York
Correspondent of the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette
confirms the above remarks from the Express, and
say.:-"Produce of every description is firm.
About a 600 barrels Of Flour have been taken for
the Engls1 market al SAYS for tennessee; sales
to the trade have been made at $4.75 "a 8l4 (;
Ohio and Michigan at s4.6sl SAYS; Southern
kind, $462d $4.75; 1000 bushels of Southern
Corn sold at 81 cents. Sugar Cotton, Flour, and
Moasses are all higher, and selling at the advan-
ced rates." The Tribune of Thursday, 2, =. M.
represents the Flour market of New York in very
unsettled condition, and adds, "what tho result
will be- cannot now be ascertained," We NAV al
so remark. that Flour has advanced in Boston, and
the market has still an upward tendency. The ad-
vance, however, appears TO be confined TO the com
mon descriptions usually taken for shipments
Georgetown Flour, new wheat, is s5.l2 per Dbl
cash; Fredericksburg, s4.68 Sd; Hope Mil, Pc
tersburg, from new wheat, s5.75 cash.
The Fall trade among the Merchants seems to
have opened with much actvity-the stocks of
Goods are represented in all of the cities TO be full
and complete. The Money market is little firm
er, and the amount of paper offered at the Banks
considerable, but there is scarcity and the rates
have not advanced above 81 per cent for good
paper. We are much pleased to note general
return of prosperity throughout the United States
in ell departments Of trade and business. Let the
people profit well by the past and the politicians
of the country determine to NEEDLE with the
tried instruments Of this renewed prosperity our
country and all will glide aong smoothly and safely.

CoLoRED CONVENTION AT SYRACUSE.
A colored convention was held al SyIa.
cuse last week, for the purpose of adopting
measures TO procure the freedom OF voting
at elections for the colored people of this
State, on the same terms as i, is enjoyed
by the whites. By the present constitu.
ton Of New York, colored people are al.
lowed TO vote only when possessed OF a
property qualification to the amount Of
two hunred and nifty dollars annually
The convention complains bitterly of the
restriction Of the right of voting in their
case, aud have determined TO remove it,
il possible, through the State convention,
now before the people for confrmation.-
|, appears, from what this convention sets
forth, that there might be $4,000 colored
voters in this State, and that if they are
qualified. by removal Of the present res.
trctons. they would be able to control the
desinies of this State in al future cleo.

american Farmer" most admirable Agricultu-
raj journal published in Baltimore by SAMUEL
SANDS, Esq. We are much pleased TO learn that
the "Farmer" has several subscribers in Berkeley,
and we hope the list may be increased.
The Farmer copies the proceedings of the
Berkeley Agricultural Society,"" sin eztenso, -
from our paper, and accompanies them with some
very complimentary remarks. We find amongst
them the following just and merted tribute to our
enterprising and talented feow-citizen, CHARLES
JAS. FAuLKsER, Esq. The Editor says:-
The meeting being organized, CHARLES
JAMES FAULKNER, Esq, arose and stated
the object of it was to form an Agricul-
tural Society, and, as the Martinsburg
Gazette states, made highly interesting
address, which, from a knowledge of bis

very complimentary remarks to our efforts in the
