' . : ' -. If the Application of the plaster is postponed till spring, it may often fall in its effects; from the want of rain, to dissolve it in time to give the young plant a virgorous start. Having accomplished a good stand of clover the task of improvement is but Mf performed.,' In stead of yielding to the temptation (and a strong one,) of grazing or mowings excejjt, in fertile spots, the luxuriant crop of the first year, it should ' be, permitted to remain and deposit its seed on the land. The second year's crop, when in full bloom, should b4 well turned under if the 4and is intend ed for wheat, and care should betaken in he pre paration not to turn back the furrow slice. It' for ; corn, partial fall grazing may be allowed, and ear ly ploughing becomes necessary to destroy insects. In the gradual development of this systeia, under n judicious rotation, the profits of the farm are'eon stantly in creasing, and also the means of aduino-to the-fertility' ot the soil, by the increased quantity of manure, which can now be produced from the resources of the farm. Decided as are the benefits of guano on our red lands,-though less than on othej soils. I can confidently assert, that I have , seen on my own farm evn more striking and per manent results from the first application of clover and plaster, in tlie grain as well as subsequent grass crops'.

Two eradlers in four days, I ap prehend, can easily save fromsix to ten bushels of an average crop. The subsequent labor of housing and threshing from the .human' is insignificant, and separating the seed d'rom the chaff is unnecessary when to be used on the farm. Now this seed is worth from thirty dollars to forty dollars, a sum sufficient to purchase "the necessary supply of plas ter. It is estimated, that from three toJave. thou sand dollars are annually paid for this article by the farmers of Orange, w hen they could save it for themselves at one-twentieth of the cost. The low price of grain and-' the .high price of guano, it seems -to-me, should naturally lead to in quiry on this subject, by cultivators of poor lands. For- such, these suggestions are intended but should you; Mr. Editor, incline to the belief that I am behind the age sjnU that my remarks are more appropriate to a period twenty years past, I can on ly regret that m v observation's lead to a less: happy conclusion, and that they areas applicable now, in very many instances, as then.

Of the four principal ports, New York takes the lead and her" imports are considerably more than all the rest of the country. Next comes Boston, with about one-fifth of the commerce of New York, then Philadelphia with considerably less than one-half, and Baltimore with about one fourth of that of Boston. New York imports about Si 50,000,000 of goods, Boston $30,000,000 to $35,000,000, Philadelphia $14,000,009, and Balti more $8,000,000. Although the latter named ci ties have a very respectable foreign trade, yet the commerce of this country may be said to Decon trolled by the cities of Boston and New York. The immense wealth of these cities, amounting to the enormous hum, in the aggregate, of five hundred millions of dollars, will always enable them to defy all competition in the management of those great branches of commerce that lequire a vast capital for their transaction. The united valuation of Philadelphia and Baltimore, in 1849, was but one hundred and foriy millions. The East India and Pacific trade, including the vessels bound to" Cali fornia, employs at the present time 233 ships and 105 barks, of which not hardly a vessel is owned in Philadelphia or Baltimore ; and, with the ex ception of a few vessels owned in Salem, is entire ly controlled by New York and Boston New York having a majority of the China trade, and Bos'-on controlling nearly all the Calcutta, Mauil la, Batayia, Sumatra, Cape oi,rood Hope, and ChiU and Peruvian trade. ;;itj? ; ' ADVERT1SEMEHTS.

Satmdny last will doubtless long be remembered by tlie people of this region of country, as "the ilark day." The phenomenon exhibited on that day was, to say the deast of it. unusual, and such as to excite the apprehension in the minds. of many of some sujH.'rnatura'l and disastrous-event. During Friday the atmosphere was' exceedingly foggy owiir;, a-s was supposed, to fire in the forests west of us and the sua went down with a peculiar, red appearance.- Saturday morning was cloudy, damp and chilly. About twelve o'clock, the clouds thick ened, and seemed to promise a protracted season of rain. Between one and two o'clock they as sumed a most' portentous aspect in the West, being of almost inky blackness. A violent storm was of course anticipated, but just before it was expected to bi-eak, we were ouit.e suddenly deprived of near ly all day-light. Tlie darkness was so great as to make the use of candles necessary, in dwellings, and we are informed that fowls went to roost. This obscuration continued some ten minutes, accom panied" by slight thunder and occasional flashes of liirhtiiina?, when the dark cloud spread out over the sky and assumed a bright yellow hue. A gentle shower of rain succeeded, and every unusual ap pearance passed away. Staunton (Va.) Sjyectator. CO. purse of $1,000 for their relief V an'derbilt s line The most important news from California, is the occurrence of a destructive lire at Do'unieville, which broke out the 21st of February, in the bakery of Messrs. Montague 6c Co., spreah'ng in all ditections and leaving every part of the" town in complete rums, except the suburbs, in which, fortunately, most of the warehouses were located. The San Francisco Herald considers the juining news highly favorable, and says the miners have adopted a method of separting the precioU3 metal from t e ciay, known a "sluicing," which will add largely to the yield of gold, and give an impulse to trade. In Southern California the Indian, disturbances had ceased, and the Indians were agaiji coming iu to their settlements. . j A regular mie ot chpr.er-sh.ms has been estab lished between San rrancisco. The Whig State Convention assembled at Sacra mento on the 27th ult.. and after a stormy session of three days, elected W. F. Stuart, J.' O. Good man, J. II. Ciay Mudd and R. W. Heath, delegates from the National Convention. The democrats also met in convention on the 23'd, and h;iu a turbulent session of four days. They elected as delegates to the Baltimore Convection, Messrs. Richardson, Covarrubias, llolden of Tuo lumne, and Judge Lyons of San Francisco. Neither of the conventions instructed the delegates as to their votes for President and Vice President. The attention to call a convention to revise the constitution was still being energetically prosecuted aud a bill for that purpose had been introduced into the House of Assembly. The principal alter ation desired is supposed to be of that provision which prohibits slavery nrtbe State. Considerable defalcations have lately come to light among certaim public officers. The Treas urer of Calavcrdo county is said to have absconded with 830,000 of the public money. The Treasu rer of Gualume has also disappeared with, a very large sum, and the Tseasurer of Sacramento is ac cused of a defalcation. The securities .are said to be men of straw. - The partv of Mr. Bartlett, of the boundary com mission, had arrived in San Diego, by the overland route. Thev had lost nearly all their animals by death, and had themselves suffered the greatest privations. Major Bartlett had immediately pro ceeded to San Francisco, where lie arrived on the 28th uit. The yield of gold from the mines is somewhat diminished, very "little rain having fallen during the ast fortnight. - The weather continued delightful, and the spring crops were sprouting luxuriantly.

SOYER'S MODERN HOUSEWIFE- THIS is a work unlike the thousand humbugs of the day. It is the work of one of the highest professors of the gas tronomic art. It contains directions for the different-meals, with economical hints too often neglected by our American ladies, but familiar to tnose of hiirhit rank in England. TIia directions for meals for the nursery, and for comforts for the sick room, are not found iu any other book ofthe kindwe hnve met with. 1 hey are invaluable. One receipt forjnak ing coffee, is worth twice the price of the book to any one who values that delic ious beverage. When this becomes lainiliarly known ana practised, scolding ot cooks will be a historical reminircence. We have tried the coffee-receipt, and found it wanting not thji receipt, but the coffee for it disappeared magically. Don?t take our word for it, but try it for yourselves. Brooklyn Daily Freeman.
