The sales of the week comprise about 500 hhds., generally at 4A (d 6 cents, most oi the trans actions being at 5 0 cents, and in some few in stances as high as 6$ (d 6£ cents have been paid for small parcels of choice. The purchases have been in limited lots, part for the North, part for Georgia and the tipper country, and the balance to city grocers and speculators. The stock on the Levee is still very fair, but it is almost entirely in second hands, the limited parcels that are coming ia from plantation, on planters’ account, being bought up on speculation about as fast as they ar rive. \Ve quote the general range of the market at 0 0 cents, with a tendency' to improve. Some further transactions have taken place on planta tion, We notice a sale, which occurred in the lat ter part of last week, of 280 hhds. at 4$ cents; sulsequently one of 200 hhds. at 5 cents, and yes terday one o f 150 hhds. on Bayou Lafourche at cts.

Since then, the whole quantity received has been only 286 barrels, 250 of which came in on Monday, and were sold from the Levee at $5 25. Holders have daily advanced their rates, and y r esterday r , at the time of making our enquiries, we found the price of Superfine to be $6 75 0 $7 03 which figures we adopt, for our quotation. The only sale of any im portance, besides the one noticed above, wa® a lot of 242 barrels, resold from second hands on Thurs day', at $6 50.

IN offering a new Journal to the public for pa tronage, it is customary and proper to set forth in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as to its management that its patrons may not at any future time find themselves deceived or disappoint ed in its course. And first, as to our political creed. Believing that there is at present a crisis in our national af fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting exertions of every true lover of his country to preserve it from the destruction that menaces it that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted upon our institutions by ambitious and unprinci pled politicians; that tHe Constitution, that safe guard of c,ur liberties, is iu danger from their ma chinations, and that the State Rights doctri«K and the principles of the revolutionary patriotTonly, can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde viating support to those doctrines. Our motto shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be | fore the people, we choose those for our support who we believe will carry out State Right® mea sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR RISON and JOHN TYLER, gentlemenrvhomeven their enemies allow to be true patriots and honest men. As the title of our journal indicates, we shall devote much of its columns to the interests of Agriculture, We shall endeavor to give to the Planter the latest and best information of the im provements, now almost daily taking place in his business. We are aware that in the strife of party, agriculture, the foundation on which society rests, has been too much neglected by the press, and that some “Reform” is needed in this respect. All the aid incur power shall be given to the cause of literature, and we shall endeavor to ren der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every class of readers.
