The preceding statement we believe to be a correct exhibit of the quantity of raw, clayed, &c., sugar taken from the ports for consumption in the country. It will be observed we do not include the receipts of European refined sugar, being unable to obtain any reliable data for them; and we do not embrace in our exports any foreign or domestic refined sugar, having confined ourselves wholly to the descriptions noticed. The quantity of sugar made here from molasses is large, and the production of the maple tree the last season is estimated at 17,500 tons.

METEOROLOGY AND THE COTTON AND SUGAR CROPS.

The following valuable table is taken from Affleck's Rural Almanac for 1852, and was compiled by the editor from the records of the late Dr. Tooley and G. J. C. Davis, esq., of Natchez, and also from his own records.

With regard to the business at Louisville we would remark that no detailed statement has been published since the close of the season; and, in the absence of such reliable information, we add three thousand on to the lowest estimate; making the number 193,000, which is 4,000 less than indicated by the figures previously given, the latter being, we believe, the highest estimate.

We give the several States in order, commencing with
