I hey return their most cordial thanks to theii fiiends in the Southern States, for their support in the persecution now carrying on against them, for their efusal to join a combination in fixing one lantl ot nnccs lor i.roekerv. throughout the trade. It is mainly attributable to the influence of our Southern friends that we have beer, enabled to survive thus far, in this most trying situation; exposed to the combined influence and capital of the whole trade, endeavoring to rflectour uin and expulsion from business. We nledce ourselves to our friends to ;ive them every satisfaction in our lower as regards the quality of our goods, the excellence of our packer and tho lownessof our prices for Cash or City Acceptances; and in return, solicit from them a continuance of their patronage, and particularly le- quest thoe who have influence with their mends to exert it in our behall, as we trust the cause is one they are all interested in, and much bent fit will accrue to us from their friendly acts in this way. It has been said, the Combination was broken up. As it regards prices, this is true, and all, we think, Inends or Iocs will allow that we have effected this change; but we do assure our friends, that at no period sir ce we commenced our sys tem of unshackled prices were wc in greater want of assistance than at the present moment. This combination of men are leaving no means untried for effecting our ruin, that they may revive the old system: our credit and character are assailed in every shape, our importations waylaid and stopped in every instance where threats are sufficient to intimidate the manufactu rers from supplying us: in fine, no vexation or trouble which the malice of men could devise has been neglect ed in this struggle to subdue us. We once more call upon every friend ol a tree trade to come up to our support, and pledge ourselves to give them no cause to repent of their liberality. T. J. BARROW V CO. SS fVatcr-street, above Old slip. Jan. 1831. 21 ffgricuUttvai. Cultivation of Sugar. From the iepurt and Documents on this sub ject, submitted to Congress by the Se cretary ot the treasury, we extract 'he following letter: riiihuldphia, Nov. 9, 1830. Sir: Having received your circular of the 1st of July, rela tive to the cane, I take the lib erty to make the following re plies to those of your queries which have come within the scope of my experiments. The ribbon cane is the only kind 1 have cultivated. It is distin guished by reddish purple streaks on the jointed part, and is reputed to be the hardiest description in the United Slates, but one of the least productive. Soils which suit Indian corn answer well lor cane, hut, as the juice is more concentrated on dry land, warm rich upland is to bo preferred. Moderate seasons are desirable, as too much rain produces an aqueous juice, 'and too little injures the growtji of the plant. In North Carolina the cane shows no tendency to the for mation of seed. It is propaga ted by cuttings and by roots. There seems little difficulty in transporting the cutting of the cane: mine were received from Savannah in bulk, merely cov ered with straw, and were well preserved. In the spring of 1828 I planted a lew dozen of cuttings: m that ot 1829, 5 acres, and last spring 24 acres. My prin cipal planting has been on lands near the River Trent, in latitude 35 20, but the last and present year I have also cultivated the cane on the banks of the Roanoke river, in North Carolina, in latitude 3G 18. The canes produced in both situations have resembled in size and richness of juice those of Georgia. The ground planted was of the first quality, and generally very highly ma nured What has been planted in autumn has rarely succeed ed. About the middle of March is our usual time, and has answered well. We plant the cuttings in single. rows, at 5 feet distance, the ends lapping a joint or two. When G inch es high, it resists frost as well as Indian corn, and better than cotton. The culture resembles that of Indian corn, and, on the same description of land, a hand can tend nearly as much. Our views have as vet been confined to raising the seed cane, anil we have no expe rience as to the manufacture of sugar. That the cane may be culti vated on the seaboard of North Carolina with a fair prospect of making molasses, seems more than nrobahle. As to sugar. the case is Questionable, as 1 frost renders the season for grinding too short to carry on the business extensively with out great risk. The most northern point in Europe where the cane is cul tivated is understood to be on Vol. VII No 30. the mediterranean coast of Spain. It early occurred to me that near Malaga they probably possessed a description of cane that might be valuable to us, as being acclimated by long cul ture in that latitude. , Under this impression, I took the lib erty of stating to the Secretary of the Navy my ideas on the subject, and means were used to accomplish the object, but as yet seem not to have been efficient. This communication has been delayed i order to have the benefit of this year's expe riments. - 1 am, sir, with sentiments of high respect, Your. most obedient servant, GEORGE I OLLOK. Consumption of Cotton, It appears from the annual Com parative Statement of the Im port of Cotton into Great Bri tain, dated Jan. 1, that not withstanding an increased im port into the Kingdom of 124, 780 bales of Cotton, with 11 decrease jn the export of 78,400, the Stocks now remaining in the Ports, only exceed those of the 1st of January, 1830, by 31,000 bales; which shows au increase in the outgoings, as compared with those of the previous year, of 55,G14; not withstanding this increase in the out goings, it is generally admitted that the quantity held by dealers and spinners in tho interior, is less by 30,000 bales than at the close of 1829; thus showing a surplus consump tion of 85,614 over that of any previous itar. This tact is encoui airing grower. to the Cotton Com. An experienced Connecticut farmer last year soaked half the corn he planted in a solution of copperas, 40 hours, kept warm, and this 'half was untouched by worms, as the other was, and yielded one third more. A pound of cop peras is to be used for a peck of corn, to be kept warm while soaking. Glanders in Horses. Glan ders, commonly called the Horse Distemper, is always accompanied with a discharge of matter from tho nostrils, and a swelling of the glands under the throat. When the bones become rotten in that part, it is generally incurable this may be known by the bad smell which it produces. Gibson's Farriery recommends in the first and second stages, purging diaphoretics, and roweling in the hinder parts, but roweling in the breast will answer the same purpose To clear the nostrils, fumes of burnt brim stone and leather in the nose; and after the matter has dis charged, syringe the nostrils with brandy or red wine. Af terwards, to cleanse the ulcera ted parts, inject them with a small quantity of Unguentum Egvptianum, dissolved in oil of turpentine. OCr'Go in the country to hear the news of the town.
