ditional foreign adviccs. Such are the fact;
carried out to England, by the next steamer
from Boston, where they produce a CORES
ponding effect. The Baltic and the rivers
that run into the Black Sea are closed the
great granaries of the world locked up by ice,
and there is a prccarious prospect of supply
ing the demand created by the deficiency of
one quarter of the usual amount of one crop
in Great Britain Consequently there is
another rise in the price af grain in the Eng
lish market, and it is now enhanced by SO per
cent. to all the consumers in the kingdom.
The corn-markets of France, Belgium, and
almost of the whole commercial world, must
be in a state of equilibrium with that Of Eng
land consequently the price Of breadstuffs is
at least 40 per cent, to all the
consumers of those countries. In the course
of a few weeks the corn-dealers in the United
States are advised of this condition of the for
eign markets, and an additional rs per cert.
Is added to the price of every bushel Of grain
i'll the Eastern States.
Now let us estimate the loss to the laboring
on both sides Of the Atlantic, in conse-
quence, we Will suppose, Of a deficiency of
bushels of wheat, or an equivalent

and which deficiency could not be supplied

Now the price of every bushel of this vast
amount of grain has been increased so cents,
by the causes we have considered. Then the
actual loss to the consumers in these four
countries, occasioned by those causes, is nine
ty millions of dollars!! enough to build a
railway from Albany to the mouth of the
Columbia.
Is, then, the proposition of a Rail for

Though all the world YOU a
In summers heats, in winters cod,
You II find him at his toll;
Oh, far above the knights Of old
Is the Tiller of the soil.
No weightv bars secure his door,
No ditch is dug around;
His walls no cannon bristle DER,
No dead lie on the ground.
A peaceful laborer is he,
Unknown in earth's turmoil:
From many crushing SORROWS free,
Is the Tillcr OF the soil.
His stacks are seen on every side,
His barns are filled with grain;
Though others hail not Fortunes tide,
He Iabors not in vain.
The land gives up its rich increase,
The sweet reward Of toll,
And hlcst with happiness and peace
Is the Tillcr of the soil.
He trudges ont at break of day,
Aud takes his way along,
And as he turns the Welding clay,
lie sings q joyful song.
He is no dull, unhappy wight,
Bound in misf0rtuues coil;
The smile is bright, the heart is slight,
OF the Tiller of the soil.
And when the orb of day has crowned
With gold the western sky,
Before his dwelling lie is found,
With cheerful faces by;

New BUILDING MATERIAL 1t seems that
in Buffalo they are beginning to use mater.
al for building, very common in the south OF
France, and we believe in many other places
enjoying a warm and dry climate. DR.. Thel-
Ter, of Buffalo, has introduced it into that city,
and is about to build dwelling house, and d
Maison de Sante, for the homeopathic treat
ment of patients. The material, as described
by the Buff Com. Advertiser, consists of large
bricks, dried in the sun, only Is inches long,
~ wide, and s in thickness; made of pure,
strong clay, without any mixture of sand or
gravel, kneaded with straw, wild hay, or some
such material. After drying, it is sometimes
necessary to fill up the cracks by pouring o.
yer them thin composition of Sand, lime and
mortar. A foundation of'' concrete" or some
thing capable of protecting the bricks from
the damp, is necessary. 4 projecting roof
should also be used, for the same reason
| Common mortar is used to cement the bricks
together, and covering of water proof cement
or +" rough cast'' gives finish to the appear
ance and protection to the building Durabil
| ity, cheapness, warmth in winter, and cool
ness in summer, are the alleged advantages of
