Review Of the Portsmouth Market, fol
the week ending, June 2, 1851.

0oNAoW " tho GVAtonOutu hndIKett Ior
the week ending, June 2, 1851.
GENERAL REMARKs,-our enquiries this
morning result in the wold that the trade Of
the last week has been decidedly dulLas
our farmers are all busy with their crops,
and there has been but few tradets from the
country in.--It may not be out OF place
here, to say that the Wheat and Corn crops
promise splendidly, and the downward ten
dency of flour is perhaps attributable to
this cause. Our Railroad contractors are
pushing along their jobs with commendable
industry, and some sections are now ready
for the superstructure. The River contin-
ues in good boating condition, and the reg
ular packets are still running. Our line Of
Canal Packets are also making daily trips.
Our readers up Canal must bear in mind that
canal navigation will be interrupted after
the 18th Of the present month, by the re-
pairs on the Locks, which may require one
or two months.
For the general tone Of our markets our
readers are respectfully referred to the fol-
lowing quotations here subjoined,
FLOUR AND GRAIN.--H is a remarkable
feature in the flour market that while Bacon
Fish, and all other provisions are above the
general average value Of former years, thai
flour should continue to decline, as the sea
son advances. We quote the average sales
for the week now ending, at $3,45 in lots
and the transactions are devoid Of interest
at the quotations. Wheat brings 70c on ar
rival, oats are dull at 25c; corn is held al
37s.
GROCERIES, With extremely limited sales
there are but few alterations to make in the
ruling rates Of leading articles. We quote
sugar fair 81 to &c; coffee 10 to l0a; molas,
ses 35c; sugar house az, rice Sc; saleratus
81; cheese 81; soap AZ; yarns 20.
~ HARDwARE.-Th same remarks are appli-
cable TO the Hardware trade of this city, snd
we point with PRIDE, to the TACT tfat our city
is enlarging her trade and commerce, to this
single circumstance namely, that the sales
Of Hardware alone have more than doubled
any previous year.
Doors AND SHOES. The trade in this de-
partment continues good, and the customary
rates remain unchanged.
PFC IRoN.-- There is slight improve
ment in Pig Iron. Sales at 1926 usual time.
Dry GooDs.-0r Dry Goods Houses are
enabled TO rest little during the last week,
and they almost need rest, for they have
had busy season. II is remarked by all
,hatt the present has been an unusually good
season for sales Of Goods at wholesale as
well as in the retail departments. The rates
: of cotton goods are somewhat lower thar
early In the season,

Mica and hornblend differ 80 essentially il
their chemical combinations and mechanical struc
ture a. greatly TO modify the rocks Of which they
form n part, both in their relations TO soils ant
buildings into which they enter Both contain
silica, alumina, and oxide Of iron but hornblenC
contains twice the amount of iron OF the mica
and a considerable portion Of lime Hence, wher
becoming part of soils, it produces greater fer.
tility.
Mica is exceedingly fragile in its character
readily changed into plates and fine scales TO an
unlimited degree Of thinness while hornbleDd ia
tough, and not easily changed by mechanical nc
ton. IL hence gives much greater strength and
durability to sienite Of which ii is an ingredient
than IL possessed by granite, of which mica forms
part. For pavements or any other use exposing
the rock 70 friction or pressure sienite and other
hornblend rocks have decided preference to any
granite formations, of which granite, gness and
mica slate, are the principal
HorDblend enters into rocks in almost every
proportion, from constituting nearly their whole
mass to slight sprinkling, appearing in black
specks on the surface, "a may be witnessed in the
Merchants Exchange" Aston House, and many
other buildings in New York, and in the Bunker
HUI Monument and very many Of the most valu-
able buildings in and about Boston. The same
material is more or less used for buildings in
nearly all the principal Atlantic cities, from Bos
ton to Charleston; also in New Orleans
hornblend so nearly resembles black mica, as
frequently witnessed in rocks, as not TO he readily
distinguished by the eye. The point of knife,
however, will at once determine whether the black
specks are hornblend or mica, as the latter will
cieaye of in fine scales but not the former--de-
termining whether the rock is granite or sienite,
and OF course whether il is or il not fitted for a
certain desired use. iIornblend rocks are per-
haps more widely scattered over the country in
the form of boulders than almost any other geo.
logical formation.
ENpERINENT.-Any farmer, while passing over
his fields, and especially farmers sons and daugh-
tiers, whether in their fathers fields or on their
way To- school, by observing and collecting speci-
mems OF rocks meeting their eye, may readily de-
termine whether they belong to granite or horn
blend formations
