i LgcEuM LECTURES. The very admirable and in

Lyceum Hall, by Dr.. Gould, of Cambridge, Mass,
upon the Theory of Probabilities, will be incentive
sufficient to induce all who were then present to
attend It's successor-whch Willie given by the same
gentleman at the same place this evening. From the
closing remarks Of the lecturer the previous even

and continued toa fuller development, It is replcte
with curious and interesting Statistics and will repay
in the fullest manner all who choose to occupy an
evening by listening to it. AS the proceeds are for
the benefit of the Lyceum Library, there is every rca
son combined to induce our citizens to attend-per-
sonal qualification and improvement of the highest
order, and therein farther benefit by books in
which to prosecute those researches, which can only
be touched by the lecturer. REa.5.t s.5-.-

Of cotton to the extent of 527 bales for the 4S
hours ending last evening, besides several loads of
corn, -four, wheat and other fxngs. Among the ar
rivals Of boats is one from Upper Red river which is
real novelty for it has been 50 long since there has
been an arrival from that regon-nearly twenty
months, we believe it had become obsolete in
ourregster Of arrivals. Business was consequently
very lively yesterday the Leyee, from one end to
the other Of both upper and lower steamboat landings
Among the shipping there was also great activity.
Freghts are stiff at the rates Of last week. as the sea-
son Is SO far advanced there is hardly time for
vessels to make another voyage before its close, which
induces shipmasters to be very firm and hold back
until general resumption Of intercourse takes place
with the interior. From present appearances that is
not likely to be of any great duration. The weather
is moderating the ice is melting in the lower Ohio,
and boats will be running daily during the week, well
feighted with the varied products therefore we see
no chance Of depression in freights. We notice the
charter of ship in New York to load here for Liver
pool at 3D., and shippers Of cotton will Of course use
their influence against any advance over this figure
though the scarcity Of sugar frcights throws more
small vessels on the market for other business. 5
In the meantime orders are daily coming for west
ern produce from the adjoining States, and the new
basin canal and lakes are more like IN ocean in min
iature with its thousands vessels navigating to al
parts Of the world It is almost incredible to believe
that SO much produce goes out of the back doors 0
New Orleans as is daily shipped by the Upper Canal
the Jefferson Railroad, and the Pontchartraf Rail
road. When our wealthy confrere in Memphis visit
us in one Of those splendid steamers built express,
to Garry passengers and freight between Memphis

go and plant some seed for that grass which is t.

TnE AFTER TREATMENT OF THE STRAWBERRY.
\ correspondent, who followed our directions
for making "A Strawberi y-bed, asks for fur
ther Instructions upon its cultivation. What
i to he done with the runners. &c. This is
a matter of a good deal of importance, to
the amateur, and to the mark t gardener.
The process must be a little different accord
ing to the objects in view. If the object is
to get the largest amount Of very fine speci-
mems of fruit, and of the highest quality, we
should not suffer runner to make new
plant during the season Go over the
ground as often as once In three weeks, and
clip every runner.
The plants set this spring will bear very
little fruit, and the whole management
should be in reference to the next years
crop. The clipping of the runners will con-
centrate the energies Of the plant upon max
ing roots, and forming nowerbuds for the
next year. If allowed to run. a multitude of
young plants will be formed, and all the
strength of the parent plant will be drawn
of to these. We noticed in bed of the
McAvoys Superior which we left for forming
new plants, that many Of the old plants We're
entirely exhausted by the effort, and did not
survive winter. Many pursue this course
with their bearing beds, thinking it less
trouble to cut up the young plants, and form
new rows in the spring, than to keep them
carefully clipped. But this is sIoyenly
mcthO I, and does not give SO good results.
Removing the runners has two advantages.
II gives opportunity for constant cultivation
/ during the summer, and makes strong plants,
with full large heads. \ plant thus treated
/ sends up its roots in all directions, and will
take complete possession OF cube Of earth
two feet upon each side of it, if it fines
it unoccupIed with other plants In the
