STATE of Trade.

For the past week we have had warm
summer weather, and vegetation has come
forward with unusual power. From all
this farming vicinity, from opposite us in
Iowa, from the region of the Wisconsin
river, from Minnesota, from the Mines,
from the Rock River country, from Car
roll and Southern 10 DavieSs, we have
the most promising accounts of the crops.
All accounts concur that winter wheat
has not looked so we'll for five years past,
as at the present time. For fortnight
the weather has been comparatively dry
and unusually warm. To-day we notice
an unusual activity in the streets, and
farmers, now that the roads are in good
order, are bringing forward their surplus.
Our trade with the Northwest is Oh the
increase, and the better class of travel to
above and below crowd our hotels and
steamboats,. We have now tri-weekly
mail to Minnesota and st. Paul, and u
daily mail to St. Louis. Boats leave this
city, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
now for up river, and Friday, Saturday,
Sunday and Monday mornings, promptly
at s o'clock, for St. Louis, arriving the
evening before. The other three days in
the week, and the other four, too. Galena
boats 90 down during the day. Within a
few weeks there has been an accession to
the mechanical and manufacturing popu-
lation of this city, which in few months
will tell openly on Our prosperity. The
best feeling prevails among our lead deal
crs at the recent rise Of lead from 81 %
to 81 so in St. Louis. To the benefits
of this rise are they fairly entitled as
some compensation for the losses of
months past.
A general feeling of buoyancy exists
at this time among all classes of our citi-
zens, at the growing business prosperity
and promise of our city.
GRAIS-Corn sells readily at 3Oa
80 lie on the cob. Oats l6a1S. TO zoe,
for very choice, for city use. Barley is
a drug-it would be difficult to get for it
an advance On the price of oats. 1t has
been matter Of surprise to us that bar
ley was not fed more extensively TO hor-
scs. The Arabs, who have the best and
the fee!est horses in the world. give
them no other grain, and in California
this grain is preferred to all others. Will
some one Of cur readers who has tried
barley as a grain for horses, give us the
results of his experience in the matter.
If it is better for the constitution and
the wind Of horse, as the Arabs say, it
would be well to know the facts.
FARM PRoDucE.-ConsLcrablc Bacon,
consisting Of clear Sides, Hams, and
Shoulders, have been sold during the
week, at an average Of Sc. A lot of
country clear pork, requiring to be re-
packed, brought SIG so. Mess, SO 80.
Batter and Eggs have declined as the sea-
son advances. Corn meal in dcmand.-
Potatoes 81 per bu>hcl, and vegetables
generally go off readily. Poultry goes
quick at the hotels and boats at great
prices.

The DIrr1cULrY ON THE MARTHA

The DIFFICULTY ON THE MARTHA
No. 2.-This steamer, on which diff
Guilty occurred between the hands and
some deck passengers on her recent trip
to Galena, mention Of which was made
some days since, returned TO port yester-
day morning The clerk informs us that
the published particulars are incorrect in
some instances and in others exaggerated.
He states that on the morning of the
departure of the Martha from this port,two
deck handswho were only shipped that day
were discharged for an alleged insult TO
a Mrs. Strickcl, deck passenger. The
night after the departure of the boat,
Mrs. Strckel's father-in-law slept in
berth under another occupied by one Of
the firemen.
During the night the Old man COM
planned of the fireman scratching him
with his feet. An alteration ensued and
the fireman was wounded in the hand
from sabre cut. Late in the nj ght the
wounded man collcc' ed several of his
comrades, fell upon The old mar and his
family and beat them severely. The fight
lasted but few moments, and this is, ac-
cording to the clerks statement, the full,
plain facts Of the difficulty. AT Louis
lana the boat stopped and put of the old
man Strickcl, his sons and their families,
and the wounded fireman, the latter Of
whom was arrested and is yet i'll confine-
ment.
The old man and one of his sons have
nearly recovered from their injuries, but

TIE TEA PLANT SoUTn CARROLL.

THE TEA PLANT IN SoUTn CAROLINA.
MIR. Junius Smith. Of South Carolina,
who has made several experiments for
the introduction of the tea plant in that
State, has recently received an invoice Of
tea nuts, from China. They were found
as fresh, and sound, apparently, as when
packed. Mr.. Smith writes that the funda-
mental principle that China tea nuts will
gcrminate, and the tea plant grow and
flourish in this country, is already practi-
cally established by The various expert
ments which have been made. His i'm
pariations of tea plants this year termna-
ted in a total failure. Two cases of Chi
ma plants shipped from Calcutta for New
York arc said TO have persisted, together
with the ship, in the China seas. Anoth-
err case from Shanghai, arrived safely at
New York but hence for Charleston
failed TO reach the port, thus proving a
serious loss. Mr.. Smith looks forward
to the time when our hills and valleys
will be covered with The growth of the
tea plant, and our markets amply supplied
with choice tea Of orr own manufacture.

Messrs. LITTLE 4 Bhows: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the
publication of the "English Reports in Law and
Equity in this country.
The low price at which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
nnrta oswh;~h many OF t.a,n have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the d'c.oons OF courts sitting at the fountain
head OF the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, more ess modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems may
be- it is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most Of the
cases arisng here.
Your plan also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEpIATELY AFTER
TIVE PUBnCATIoN IN ENeIASD, CONSTELLATION
FIRST IMPoRTAHCE; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided of any value, the sooner they
are IN The hands Of the profession the better. ]
