During the session of the Convention‘ in this city (says the Cincinnati Inquirer) there were consumed every day at the Hunt House thirty bushels of straw- lierries, ‘the colt -of which -was over 3200,hnd'the picking of which employed thirt women per’ ‘day.

T e production of strawberries for the New _York Market is ‘an extensive busi- ness, the great bulk of the supply coming from the townships of Raritau, Shrews- huvy {and Middletowm, N. ‘J., bordei-i on the bay and seas-hore, ‘where the plant is found to thrive in its greatest perfection. The culture of the strawberry has rc‘cei\'e’d much attention in this portion of the State within the last three years. The largest producer is a gentleman of Rari- tan township, who has thirty acres under cultivation, including five, which are this year not in‘ bearing. He has ’already sent to market this ‘season 35,400 baskets, counting in 9,600 quart boxes,”cqual to four baikets each. This quantity ‘is esti- mated at one-third of the whole crop. Should l00,000 baskets be received and an average of 4} cents per basket be le- alized, the ‘amount of sales from this single cultivator would bebe't\veen'$vt,- 000and $6,000, more than one half of which item may be put'do‘w‘n its net "pro- fit. Last year,New ,York consumed from 47,000 to 50,000 bushels of strawberries; Philadelphia from 10,000 to l4,000. The consumption this week average 20,- 000 bushels per day.

In the U. S. Senate,on the l0tli inst., a resolution ‘was ofleréd, relative to the final disposition of the British bark’ Reso- lute, which was found derelict in the ‘A rc- tic Ocean ; but it was withdrawn on a proposition being made by Mr. Mason for the Government to purdtaae the ves- sel, refit her, and send her back as a pre- sent to the British Government.

It is stated by tlia"l‘Jnited States Jllililary Gazette, that the ‘British ' Government has issued orders, that ‘no milltltr cor from New Y'ot’k,'nr ttriy part "of the‘ nite States shall be ‘permitted to land on"tlie Cinzda siile,\vitlI‘mtla’k'ets,'rifl6s,' stvords,’ oi‘ l‘s_t ls gritty watililteinstrtitnerrts.

who was indebted for her nnvalvictories to the great size, and heavy armament of her vessels and to the services of British seamen who had fled from the tyranny ofihe press gang, and the bad usage whiclt then obtained in the English navy.

These things have been changed : the British sailor is now avoluuteer, well paid and cared tor, and treated likea man, while in the American marine the treatment is sttcli as to deter a likely sea- man from entering the service. 'I‘herc are undoubtedly yet in the American navy some British ‘seamen, but the first sound of war would find them as it did some years stnce—going aft in a body, and refusing to fight against the land Not an American war- ship can be visited without its presenttn . the painful sight of-a large proportion ot the crew in ironsand wholesale desertion is so common that the‘m'ost sttl'n' ent measures are unable to prevent it. he commercial marine is ‘under-manned, and with a miserable ‘class of ‘Italians, Portuguese, and a motley assemblage of the riff-rafi‘ of all nations; the chief and petty otiicers are ‘Americans, but very few of the crew; whaling, sealing and fishing voyage on shares being the most attractive to them. While England has

ssessions ltl every parrot’ the world in in which her vessels can tind shelter if hardly pushed means to refit and pro- vision and from whence they‘ can sally at any moment, the United States has nothing but the open sea to depend on and a crippled ship must run the ganiitlet half round the world to reach a place of ‘shelter. in the last war, no doubt American privateers did great damage to British commerce, but that of the United States was clean swept from the seas.

The loss of American cotton, if it took place, would eriously affect the industry of England : but it is not more necessary for England to buy this. than it is for the United States to sell. 'l‘he cotton which now goes direct to England in British or American vessels would he setit to France in neutral vessels and thence to"Erigland, and mucli would find its‘t-liay direct ; while an cnclianced rice would stimulate its cultivation in lliidia and Egypt, -and bring nearer the not now distant resultof England being freed forever from her dependence on the United States for this important prodiic-
