few years, even more than its population. But
a few days ago, a Russian vessel was cleared
from ihi" port with an assor'ed cargo of North
Carolina produce, for a port in Germany, by Mr.
11. B. Eilcrs. We are indebted to thai gentle-man
for the following memorandum of loicign
vessels which have cleared at this port since the
middle of June, 1849, for foreign markets:
