SCARCITY OF BEANS - White beans are so scarce that few of the grocers have them for sale. They sold at five dollars per bushel, and perhaps even more. The scarcity of beans induced many farmers to plant, but the report of the crop is not favorable. There must be a large area of ground planted but we are told that many of the beans will be inferior in quality.

THE SCHOONER PARSONS - In writing of this new vessel we omitted to say that she is under command of Capt. Wm. HARRY, who has sailed all or nearly all the new vessels brought out by Capt. ROGERS, and there is no more skillful navigator afloat upon the Great Lakes.
