Washington, March 1,1853. Eijjw Grit. Hew Orleans—In a Bnslneas View. The following Interesting akotohof tho olty of New Orleans, in its commercial aud trading aspect, is from the pen of one of the editors of tho New York Ex• press—on intelligent, observant and travelled gentle- The Levee at New Orleans is the greatest commer cial spectacle I have ever soen. There are miles of ships and acres of steamboats lining the extended crescent, and running far above and below the city limits: many more are at Algiers, and hundreds more always on the river abovo and below tho city.— The ships lie from two to five and six deep, aud pre sent a picture of trade and commerce, at one view, inch as can be seen at no other port in tho world. 1 have walked more than once over the whole length of the Levee, from Jefferson city and Lafayettce to tho lower end of tho city, andhavo seen there, thousands and tens of thousands or boles of cotton, and visitiug the Cotton Presses, cotton yards, and cottou store houses near by, I have seen thousands and tens of thousands of additional bales. Steamboats are un loading their cotton from tho up countries and en ormous ships are receiving it for Europe. Tho South and South-West grow the cotton and tho North and East carry it to Europe. It would be impossible al most fur planters to be shippers, and hence there seems to ne a Providence almost in this sectional di vision of capital and labor, which brings distant peo ple to tho Bamo country into frequent, social, and ousiness Interconrso. As I have gazed upon those many thousand bales or cotton, and 20,000 are some time aold after dinner, here by one or two persons for shipment, (every one of which worth $40) I have thought that tho much abused “ Cotton Party" of the United States was a very important and respect able body of persons. It is a party which raised one hundred millions of dollars a year in American pro duce, for a European market, and a party which con tributes jnst so much to pay off a debt incurred by the United States abroad. Bat it is not the number of ships and steamboats, nor the quantity of cotton raised and brought here which alone amazo me. Tho picture of thrift and Industry, of private spirit and general animation is unsurpassed. You seo, in tho miniature of those, many steamers panting, puffing, and groaning witli the burdens they bring from afar, which thread all the water courses of our Western world, a foreshadow ing of inland commerce of tho United States. It connects with a country, and that our country, which in the article of Grain alone could, if need bo, feed every mouth in tho world! You see, at times too, nearly a thousand ocean vessels ready to bear away this Inland commerce to all parts of the civilized globe. You behold for miles and miles, amidst little colored flags and numbered slaffs, betokoning the ownership of property, a wine spread levee, aud gen erally much greater in width than the Bowery and Broadway together, covered in the busy season of the year, all over with articles of home produce or of foreign and domestic merchandize. I^havo seen no ■uch a picture before, aud had no comprehension of the magnitude of such a growth and trada as this. New Orleans may well boast of such a commerce and of auch a highway to tho ocean as tho mighty Missis- *}$3t mo enter a littlo into detail in regard to two of these productions.—Cotton and Sugar. The lost is a crop almost peculiar to this State, aud as such Louis ianians ought to appreciate it. The first is common to a vast section of country, and this is its greatest market. Prom New Orleans there were shipped, in tho first two months of tho present year, 313,567 bales of cotton, which brought an average per bale of $40,67, and produced an average in value of $12,764,306.— This city has exported 149,000 halos of cotton more thus far in the present fiscal year thnn tho last. Tho , estimated differences in value from September 1st to April 20, have been over nineteen million of dollars, and tills amount will will bo increased to $29,661,888, if the crop now going forward is included. The value of cotton exported to tho close of tho lost fiscal year, 30th of Juno, was nearly $88,000,000, at nn av erage of $31,90 per bale? and in amount 2,444,000 bales. Taking January and February, 1863, for ex amples, the value for the present year will be $40,60 per bale. The cotton crop exported this year, there fore, Is worth vastly more than one hundred millions of ddUart. Tho Sugar Crop is one of growing importance and already or immense value. A thousand acres in cul tivation upon one plantation is a common estate, and vastly larger ones are seen in all directions. Sugar has been a great product with Louisiana for more than a contury and a quarter. Tho Jesuits Introduc ed the cane from Saint Domingo In 1726, and planted tho Malabar and Creole Canes in tho suburbs of Saint Mary’s. Tho Ribbon Cano, from tho East Indies, is now the favorite plant, and it thrives earlier and later than any other Sugar Plants. There was a suspen sion of planting wheu Louisiana was ceded to Spain, and it was resumed soon after, and tho crun amount ed to 25,000 lihda. In 1818—to 36,000 hhds. In 1822-’3 —to 70,000 in 1832—’3—to 125,000 In 1843-'4, and to 321,934 hhds. in the season of 1852-’3. There are 1,000 Iba. net in each hhd. of Sugar, and this yields from 40 to 50 gallons or Molasses. The crop of the past season was tho best ever known, and 70 gallons of Molasses per 1,000 pounds of Sugar was tho pro duct. The aggregate amount reached 26,700,000 gal lons. The 321,794 hhds. raised last year also aver aged 1,125 lbs. net per hhd., and gave a grand pro duct of 368,129,000 lbs. Of this amount 32,480 hhds. camo from fifty-one plantations, and waa manufactur ed by the Improved processes which promise to revo lutionize tho manufacture of Sugar. Already Louisi ana has 1,481 Sugar Houses, 043 of which are regu lated by steam apparatus, and 538 by horse-power. The Sugar Estates line each side of the Mississippi River, ana its lngion of Bayous upon an average of two and two and a half miles in width; and it is now known that the low lands are susceptible of drainage, and tho chaparel lands of clearance and cultivation. Beyond tho memory of man,—on this tho only river •in the world,—the tide has flowed from tho River to tho Forests, until tho people aro frequently mado to tremble at the devastation of tho Hoods. From New Orleans to the mouth of the Ohio is a distance of over 1.000 miles, aud there is 100 miles of river land be low the city. On these 1,100 miles nothing of any great consequeuco is grown but Cotton and Sfigar, and with the lands Improved os they may bo, no one ean well realize their capacity for production on their value in soil. This olty Is to depend hereafter more upon the Io- oal and Southern interior trade than upon tho great river tributaries which have hitherto mado New Or leans what the is. Northern and Eastern enterprise, —the Virginia Road at Wheeling,—tho Pennsylvania Road at Pittsburgh,—the 0rie Hoad at Dunkirk,— with the Railroad routes between Indiana, Ohio, Mich igan and the Lakes, havo changed the current of trade- Memphis will ship her cotton and tobacco up river lnatead of down, and tho River Planters, so far down the Mississippi found a better market at home ibis year, than by forwarding their produco to New Orleans. Thousands of up the country cattlo have hitherto lound their way to this market, and they hare been among the finest in tho world. But now they go towards tho Mountains and Lakes to tho great Eastern cities. The owners of the Mississippi boats complain, especially of tho loss of this branch of trade, New York is to receive oven Southern cotton and tobacco by tho Northern routes. St* I«ouls Removed to the Country* Mach apprehension has long been felt in St. Louis that the action of the waters ol the Missouri. where they enter the Mississippi above that city, will even tually wear away tho Illinois Bhore to such an extent Mto force a new channel for the great Father of Wa ters. and thus leave St. Louis some five or six miles out in the country. The present flood, as nsnal, is tearing away the bank, having washed off a mile and a half of the telegraph line near Alton, with all the land on which the poles were planted. The editor of the Alton Courier says— ... « As much abrasion of the Dlinois shore for the next ten years, or even five years, as has been occur- ring for a row years past, anu tho lukeH and lowlands aJbarcHipoken of will be reached. •-OKUni farm is now nearly ail swept away, and the old dwelling boose, which has already been moved once or twice, will soon have to remove further back or tom down.

And then the meeting adjourned. Killed by Lioutnino.—On Sunday tho 22d the Congregational Church at Lockport,N. Y., was struck by ligbtuing, during tho afternoon church service, almost instantly causing the death of Mr. Lather Crocker, jr. t and injuring more or leas Samuel Durfce, Cyrus C. Northam, a lad about 14 years of age, son of Wm.Mack, Mary Placo, daughter of Georgo 1'Iace, Francis Holmes, daughter of Alfred Holmes, and Miss Sarah Stewart. According to the account given in the Lockport Courier, tho lightning struck tho church stceplo on the South-west corner, passing down into tho gallery occupied by tho Bingers, which was directly under tho steeple, and all tho persons effected by tho shock, wore members of tho choir. They were about con cluding tho introductory hymn when the shock came, carrying death, sorrow and dismay into their midst.— Tho main streak of electricity entered the gallery over the head of Mr. Crocker, who was playing the base viol, and diverged off either wuy, injuring the persons named abovo. The first moment niter the shock, as described, was ono of universal consternation and dismay. Every person in tho gallery, numbering sotno twclvo or fif teen, except one or two, wore prostrated by tho shock. Some of tho injured persons lmd their faces and bod ies burned, making them present a horrible picture. The scone within the church, says the Courier, im mediately after tho shock, is represented by an eye witness to have been awful in the extreme. Tho pas tor, Rev. Mr. Gillman, whose position in tho pulpit was such as to enable him to see at glance the terri ble effect of the lightning, fainted away, as did sev eral of tho ladies, And a ghastly pales ness overspread every countenance. The shock was so terrific, and its effects so nstound- ing, that it seemed to deprive all of tho power of giv ing vent to their feelings in the mnnncr usually ex hibited on similar but less appalling occasions. Not a shriek or a groan was heard,ravo the almost inaud ible ones made by somo one of tiic victims; no bustlo or confusion ensued, but dread consternation Boomed to take bold of all for tho time. Firemen’s Parade—Yesterday was a gala day amoug the colored llro companies, being the annual parade. Tho soveral companies were out in their strength, arrayed in uniform, their engines tasteful ly decorated, Ac. About 5 o’clock, P. M., they were drawn up in lino on Bay-st., opposito tho Exchange, and certainly presented an imposing appearance.— During tho day we heard of the presentation ot a sli ver medal, by Brown Fire Company No. 4. to their Captain, Mr. Barron, and a medal from Mr. Barron to a member of his-company—Edward Taylor—on which is inscribed tho motto: “Always Ready,” as an acknowledgement of his enterprise and faithful ser vices. No. 4 really claims to be number one, and not without reason. As tho respective companies filed off in the lino of march, cheered by the familiar vocal melody charac teristic of tills arm of tho public servico, in which all joined with hearty good will, wc could not suppress tho in voluntary reflections natural to tho ocenslou, connected with our “ peculiar institution,” which is nominal slavery but practical freedom : •* Where ignorance I" bliss ’Tl» fully to bo wise.” Nashville Union & American—This journal is tho consolidation of tho Nashvilfo Union and tbo Nashville American, both able democratic papers— Wo are gratified to learn that the two have been con solidated, because wo ballovo not only tiie publishers will find a higher pecuniary reward for their labors, but the interests aud welfare of the Democratic party of Tennessee will bo better served aud promoted— Under its present conductors tho Union 4* American must continue to exercise nu important and valuable influence, not only politically, but as a news, business and family journal. Col. fronton—Ductile Ilnllrond. While recently on ills way to Kansas, Mo., with a party of friends about to cross the plains on an explo ring and pleasure excursion, Col. Benton was solict- ed by tho citizens of Brunswick to designate a dny on which ho would uddress them on tho subject of tho Tacific Railroad. In reply the Colonel declined at present to name a day, but promised upon a future time to comply with their request. In tho course of his reply ho says: •• It is now thirty-five years since I have been at work upon this subject—that of commercial commu nication between the Mississippi—the mode or com munication varied only to suit the progress of events, but the object always the same. I began with water communications on tho line of tho Missouri and Co lumbia rivers, when we owned nothing but Oregon beyond the Rocky Mountains, and the steam car un known ; now, when California is acquired, the steam cars already run over more miles in tho Uuited States (all made by .States or individuals) than would mnko six different roads to the I'acitlc ocean from our fron tier, I change the mode und the line, and go for the car and Ban Francisco, and that upon tho route clos est to tho parallel of thirty-nine degress which the nature of tho ground will admit of. •* I caught the idea from Mr. Jefferson, who, in his message to Congress proposing the expedition of Lewis and Clark, presented the commercial communi cation as tho leading object, and tho ono that guvo Congress constitutional jurisdiction of the case ; and tho extension of geographical science as tho incident to the pursuit of that main object. That was before we acquired Oregon, or set up any claim to territory on tho Pacific ocean, now wo have both Oregon and California, and besides the commercial object, havo another in the duty of communication with tho citi zens in these distant possessions, and stretching a ligament of union from tho Atlantic to the Pacific. •• When I first wrote upon this subject it was a su joct of ridicuhi with a great many; but that had no effect upon me. It is my prerogative to disregard un worthy opposition, and to vanquish it. I have con tinued steadily at my work for abovo thirty years, und now sco success in view. " But I had something more than ridicule to encoun ter, and that was the uiiwIbo action of the federal government. In 1818 it made a treaty of joint occu pation of tho Columbia with tho British for ten years. I was not then in tho Senate, but denounced that treaty as unjust and injurious, as it would postpone our settlement for ten years, and glvo tho British a foothold which might require “ a vigorous effort of policy or of arms to remove.” Iu 1828 that treaty of joint occupation was indefinitely renewed. I opposed it to the uttermost in tho Bcnatc, but in vain. The administration, and tho enemies of tho growth of the West, were too strong for mo. In 1846, under tho administration of Mr. Polk, this unfortunate treaty was abrograted after it bad nearly produced war be tween Great Britain and tbe United States; and I had the satisfaction to give it tbe last lick in that year, as I had given it tho first in 1818—twenty-eight years before. “la the year 1824 1 began auotber work in Con gress, which waa deemed chimerical—that of a road to Bants Fe. Solitary and alone I began to work up on that road, and accomplished it, having obtained an appropriation of $30,000 for making it out, treat ing with tbe Indians for safe passage through their country, conciliating the good will of tbe New Mexi can authorities In Santa Fe.

Evening Post. The Hula of tho MnnufnetureSc Wc have always contended that tho surest way to ruin manufactures was to expose them to the artifi cial stimulus of protection, and that the best way of building them up was to leave them lo their natural growth aud development. Nearly the whole nation is now of the same opinion, which the experience of every day enlarges and strengthens. Yet there are a few who stand ready to shout the old wolf-cry that our manufactures aro ruined, to whom wo commend this extnet from tbo New Fork correspondent of the Union: “ During the last two or three years there has been a continual outcry on tho part of manufacturers in relation to the high prices of raw materials. Wool, in particular, has encountered their persevering com plaints. While their agents have displayed the most unscrupulous sugacity in obtaining the clips at the lowest possible rates, the most complicated machinery to act upon the public mind in favor of their efforts lms been In operation. The prices of cotton aro less subject to their control, and clamor on tlioir part has far less effect. Both theso articles have risen under the general prosperity of the country, which has at the same timo caused a greater demand for the pro ducts of machinery. The most remarkable evidence of this is afforded in tho annual statistics published of tiie Lowell factories. “ Those celebrated works, the scene of immense operations, tho pioneers of American corporate man ufacturing, and the source of such colossal fortunes as that or the late minister to England, havo at their command evory facility for the keeping up witli the improvements of the age, and giving to capital its full power in the process or production; and they serve as a useful illustration of the progress of events. Tho following table gives the figures at tho com mencement of the late tariff, nt its close, and for the last two years, in respect to the Lowell manufactures: 184-’. 1847. 1851. 1852.

In 1852 the num ber of hands was 12,638, and the product 2.577,000, or 204 yards per hand. Tho amount of wages per week is $37,800, being about tbe same as nt the previ ous date, Tor which sum 634.809 yards more were mado in 1852 than in 1847. This fact marks the pro gress of mnehine power. Again: the wages on tho week’s product of 1847 was two centsper vard; in 1852 less than one and a half cents. This saving is onual to four and a half per cent, on tho whole capi tal employed, and la equal to one and three-quarters cents on the raw material. " Tho increase in the consumption of wool per an num has been immense, notwithstanding the assever ations of present and prospective ruin. The consump tion in 1847. at tho close of tho late ‘protective tariff/ was 2,300,000 of pounds per annum. The amount re It will be observed, that notwithstanding this very great advance in wool last year, the increase In tiro demand in thut one locality was 33,000 pounds |>er week, or 1,600,000 pounds jnsr annum. That is aTiiii- gular ‘ruin’ which induces tbe distressed parties to bo contlnnalh * * The quant] 10 per cent. 1 In’ which Induces the distressed parties to bo Jly baying greater quantities at higher prices, ntlty of doth per spindle bos also increased int.” An artide in Hunt’s Merchants’ Magazine, upon American Marbles, says that the tract or country ly- American r __^_ Ing betwoen the Adirondaoontbe cast, and extending from the northern part of Vermont aonth, Into Con necticut, contains the finest specimens of marble in the world. The Parian marble, so long edebrated as unsurpassed in quality and variety, tbe writer aaya Is exceeded In erery respect by that of New Eng land. Tho vnlno of the raarblo quarried thoro is now amounting to about $7,000,900 annually. It Is a fiction baa braved the battle and the breeze for a thousand years. It is scarody two hundred yean since Eng land became a power-on the ocean. From the Now York Ooimnrrclal, 24tli instant. From Aapliiwall—Arrival of the Uncle 8am« Tho independent line steamship Uncle Sam, from Asplnwall, arrived this morning. BUe left here on heT outward passage on the 6th in stant, in company with the Georgia and Union. She arrived at Aspinwnll on tho morning of the 13th, and the Union on the same night. The rainy season Iiub just commenced on the Isth mus, and passengers are now crossing by tbe Cruces road, ns it Is much the best during the wet weather. Tho steamer left Asninwall on tho 15th, with 310 posxeiigers, and arrived at Kingston on the 17th.— Her officers report that the yellow fever was preva lent at that port. It had been routined thus far most ly to the shipping, among which it was making sad havoc. But few of tho old residents had died with the disease, those who ore not acclimated being tho first victims. Charles PorkiiiH, late proprietor of tho Union Hotel, at Gorgona, died with the fever on the lstli instant. The difficulties between the Council and the Legis lature had not been arranged up to our latest advices. Wo find but littlo in our papers on the subject, and wo are indebted for the following statement to the purser of the Uncle Sam. A few days since the House met and declared Kingston a free port, which ofiended tho Governor v. ry much. On tho 17th Sir Charles Covey, the Gov ernor of the Island transmitted a speech, which gave so much dissatisfaction tlmt one of the members, Mr. Burke, gave notice that he should move for a commit tee to request her Majesty to remove Sir Charles from the Island. It was supposed that the Governor would dissolve the House the next day. Tho Uncle Sam left Kingston on tho 18th inst., nt 5 o’clock, I*. M. She reports $278,000 in gold dust on board. Tho Georgia waa to leavo at 6 o’clock, the same evening. She lias $2,130,737 in specie on bourd. Mr. Harrison, tho U. 8. consul nt Kingston for tho Inst thirty-seven years, has taken passage by her for New York. U, S. Light Artillery, Tho St. Louis Republican of the 14tn Inst., says Yesterday a number of gcutlenien from tills city had the pleasure of witnessing tho exercise of target shooting, at Jefferson Barracks, by Captain Brown’s company of Light Artillery, it was a tost of what is called, in tho urmy servico, the* spherical case shot/ an improvement upon ‘ SchrupncllV cased shot. The principle is thus: An iron ease like a bonmshcll, is loaded witli musket hulls, aud just sufficient powder in tho shell to explode it. The aperture is closed by a metulic fuse, which is so graded tlmt it may be made to explode nt any given timo, from the instant of firing the cannon. When it explodes, the projectile force carries the balls within It one aud two hundred yards further, almost in a horizontal line, and witli a force equal to tho discharge from a mus ket. To illustrate: If the artillery ivero a mile in front of an enemy, they would throw theso spherical cased shot, calculating the time and distance, so that it would explode fifty yards in front of the enemy. When the shell exploded, it would send more musket balls through tho enemy’s ranks than a whole compa ny of infantry would do, and with an cquul or great- ter force. It is a death-dealing invention, and when brought to more experienced use will ninkc the Light Artillery the most important arm of tho warfare.— Tiic experiments were made under the supervision of Col, Bragg, and witnessed by a number or officers of the army. The shots were fired from a howitzer and from a six pounder, at the several distances of 450, 750 and 850 yards, at a comparatively small target, and it was completely riddled by the musket bnlls. It was a most gratifying exhibition ol the accuracy with which the artillery guns can be directed. Capt. Brown’s company is now full, and the army cannot, wc presume, boast of a more efficient and better dis ciplined command. The Weatiieh.—The prospects of rain arc as dis tant as ever, each apparent precursor of the much do- r or me last iwo uays, we nave Decn experiencing al most nn October temperature, succeuing a Blight sprinkle, by which wo were visited on Monday night, scarcely sufficient, however, to lay the dust for an hour. Some of our neighbors in the vicinity have perhaps realized the bcuclil.s of thin usual precursor to such changes, but this wo have yet to learn ; with ourselves, they have ended only in threats, leaving us pretty much as they found us. In many of our hotels, as well as private residences, we have to resort to the pump, the cistern having generally failed us,—Chas. Standard, 27th. Benevolence of the Isiiaklites a writer in one or our exchanges saysThe writer of this had occasion, not a great while ago, to exainino into the different forms of benevolent action in the city of London. Ho was surprised to find that the Israelites hail, in proportionate their number, more hospitals, asylums, schools Hr orphans, and other benevolent institutions, than any other sect in the capital of England ; that their charities were less ostentatious; and their poor hotter cured for, unless tho Quakers wero an exception. Signification of “ Erie.”—The question is often asked, “Why do so many storms and disasters on Lake Erie ? Why tho difference between that and the oilier lakes composing the great chain between the United States and British America ?” It is said to be caused by the extreme shallowness of its waters, which urc morecuslly disturbed than the deep waters of its neighbors. Hence the name “ Kno,” an Iudinn name, signifying “ mad ‘“ tho mad lake." This namo, like ull Indian proper names, is very significant of tiie boisterous character of Lake Erie. A Disconsolate Widow.—-Loss than five weeks ago, a young man in Medford died after a short sick ness, leaving a young and interesting wife. The fair one mourned his early decease, hut her grief was not such ns oltcn crushes the life blood from tiic heart.— Her weeds gave a new charm to her beauty—she won the heart of a sympathizing friend, and tempered her glief by listening to his tales oflove, and on Tuesday lost the pair were married.

That is go ing too far. Ono might as well go back to tho days before tho deluge. The world only began to move on after the Revolution, and is hardly under good head way yet.

There was a sale of a lot of choice brands, fresh ground, at $4**. CHARLESTON, MAY 27.—Cotton—The present week " - . - 1 of Fi opened upon a quiet market, ns the rales of Fridnv first day—were limited to somo 1200 bales; but on Satur day n good deal of activity prevailed, tho sales during tho day having reached very nearly 2400bales, at about a range or price* corresponding with the quotations given In our report of the 20th in«t. Buyers on Monday took upwards of 1000 bale*. A good demnnd prevailed at the time, nnd tiro transactions would have figured up a larger amount, hut there waa a stringency in tho terms of holders, based upon lire advice* per Africa, which had just come tu hand, tlmt checked operations. Tuesday passed off very quietly, the httle. however, that was done on that day established a decided advance on former prices. Thu* stood tho posi tion of nffairs when tho trado were put In possession of tho advice* brought over by the steamers Franklin and Eu- ropa. which, taken In connection with tho gradunl thin ning off of the quantity of saleable Cotton on hand, have given sellers a decided advantage over buyers, forcing prices during tho Inst two days to a higher point than they have attained for somo time back. Tho market was unsettled nt the close nf the week, nnd there waa some difference of opin ion a* to the extent oltbo advance on the different grades of this staple, but it wa* generally conco !cil that Good Middling wus worth 10*4^104. and Middling Fair 10*^., which, it will be seen, is higher thnn our quotations of tbo 20th. We would hero remark, however, that it wns a difficult matter yesterday to buy the latter description at tbo quotation put down.and tho least run upon this grade, such is the stato of the market, would further enhance Its value. The receipts since our last reach 3116 bales, and tbo sales in the same timo may be estimated at 9643 bales, 2200 of which were lold yosterday. The sales comprise 22 bale* at 7, 10 at 7210 at 8.464 at 8k, 183 at 8k. 338 at 8*4,146 at 8K- 310 at 8).', 392 at 8 11-16, 67 at 8tf. 394 at 8k, 194 at 9,11 at 94.166 at 9«, 188 at 0>£, 614 at 9**. 100 at 9tf, 263 at 9*£. 62 at 9JJ. 1408 at 10, 108 at 10)*, 965 at 10k 812 at 10*,', 1385 at 10),'. 876 at 10),', 369 at 10)*, and 285 bnlos nt 11 cents. Tbo transactions in Long Cotton have been limited, from tho fact that there Is little to operate witli; the few sale* made, however, have been at very full price*. Rick—The market l*dopre**cd. and the week closed with prices rather In favor of buyers, the bulk of the transactions liavo been made within tho ningo of 3 9-16lh/®$3k Hol’i.m Rick—Home 28.000 bushels have been received this week, and rent to mill.
