Philip Hone, a distinguish d merchant of iev York, in :i recent jcture before the iMcrcantilu Library ssocialion, remarked: It is amusing to look buck upon the tate of the trade of A'ew York, and the ,'iodes of conducting business within a n ief period of Jess than fifty years, and ontrast them with the present coni'.i ion of things. I have no ambition to laim your respect or revcren.ca as a age of antiquity. On tlio CopArary, I ear I may have jivn yo'i occasion this vening to remark that 1 am young nough to learn a gret dgal? but njy .onnectioa with b'jsinoss commenced o early in t'.,at I can describe these natters vith tojicrable accuracy, I vps a lad the retail drygoods tUw shop v-e called it then) of my Lrother n Wiijiam street. Coods were impor "i prineipally from London. The ships louiy two or three in numUer) made ;vo voyages in a year; and when they ii rived, and the pucka ss were opened !n the warehouses of Messrs, Y udjin- j Ion, Howlett &c Corp, or Douglass & I Shaw, notix;e was sent to the shopkeep ers, who went down to 1'earl street, and each selecting the articles he wanted, the whole importation was bought ut; And a bill of live hundred doilns would have brought down upon the purchaser the jealousy of bis neighbors, and occa sioned serious alarm to the importer. It is a fact dillkult to realize, that at the time! am speaking of, French dry. roods were unknown in New York. f distincly recollect tlie first jiackage of French kid gloves, and for several years after the jeace. English lute LtriiiTa were the onlv silks in use. The ladies w ill find it dillkult to imagine such a state of destitution, and may, ur haps, thank their stars that they were not born in so dark an age.wlienlhc possession f a silk gown was a luxury .hat few arrived at, and its advent in tlie imily au event of sullicitut importance i be cronicled with the birth of a child, r the setting out of husband on a '.oyage to Albany. , u Those were the days of frugality and carefulness: and as we arc now in a gossiping humor, I will relate an an ccdotc to prove it. A relation of mine, a merchant in the Dutch trade, w ho had then been a resident of New York fif teen or twenty years, had in his posses sion a silk umbrella of uncommon large proportions, which attracted the notice of a friend in company, who said to him in jest, "I should not be surprised to hear that you had brought out that um brella with you from Holland." "Yon have guessed right," he replied, "I did bring it when 1 came to this country, and hrtve had it in constant uo ever since ; but I sent it once during the lime to Holland to be newly covered." Now this gentleman was liberal and charita. ble, but he took good care of hi u:ii brelia, and died worth a million of dol la rs. In the days of which we have been speaking, there was but one bank in the city, the Bank of New York, in Pearl street, then Hanover Square, of which Mr. Win. JScton was cashier, and Mr, Charles Wilkes was first teller. Those were the blessed days of specie curren cy; and if you will indulge me, and laugh at me instead of frowning at me, I will describe how pleasantly it work ed. The few notes which were given out by the merchants and fchop keepers, (and the sequel will show how few they most have been,) were collected of course through the Lank. Midi ad lioyle, the rnnner, (how delightfully do his jocund laugh and pleasant counte nance mix up wilh the recollections of my earlier years !) called several days before the time, w ith a notice that the note would be due on such a day, and payment expected three days thereaf ter. When the day arrived, the same per son called again with a canvass bag, counted the money in half dollars, quar ters, a ed sixpences, (ihose abominable disturbers of the people's peace, bank notes, were scarcely known in those days.) carried it to the bank, and then sallied out to another debtor; and so all the notes were collected in this great cwmnicrcial city, and in such a circum scribed t-ircledid its operations revolve. Well do I remember Michael 1'ovie, running round from Peat! street to Mai den Luiuj, Hroadway, and William strcuit, (the business limits of which district, hujtpily for him, did not extend north of the present Fulton street,) pan ting under thy load of a hag of silver, a sort of locomotive sub-treasurer, or the embodiment of a specie circular. h I 1 k . 1 nt few persons arc aware of the value of the importations of silk into this country. The Journal of the Amc ;iean Society, s.tys that the importation of siJ inU, the United Slates, during the ytar ending yoth September, Ib'J'J, a mounted to nearly twenty-three mil lions of dollars. Compared with other articles imported, that of silk is one fourth nvre than tta amount of any other.

The importations of sugar amounted to !.921.G:J2; lijien, 8,7:M7a. S.itlnt the importation of silk nearly equals that of woolens and linen together, and is equal to one-haifof the other fabrics combined.

Ilapld Growth or Swliic-OI-i?iod: ol rccctlitg. We give the system of feeding swine as practised with success by one who has much experience, has made many experiments, and is among the most in telligcnt on this subject. We do not suppose that this mode of feeding is well suited to the farmer, who can feed with less expense on apples, pumpkins, and a larger proportion of roots, but it shows a method of using grain to ad vantage, which will be interesting to every one. As to the growth in this case, it was not ascertained with precision, except ing in one instance. A pig was weigh ed at 85 lbs., and in four and a half days he was weighed again on the same balance, and in the samo state as to fulness, and his weight was US lbs. It was supposed that other pigs in the herd gained as much, if not more than this one, which was the subject of par ticular experiment. There were CO pigs in the herd, all in a thriving condition, and weighing on an average about "5 lbs. each, The)' were fed twice a day on scalded corn meal, with a little raw corn thrown to them at each time. Iioiling water was fioured upon the meal, and thoroughly mixed to scald it ; this cooked jt in some measure, and in a short time cold water was added, so as to make it sullicieutly cool, and in this way three pecks of meal made about a barrel of food. About half a bushel of raw sugar beets was given tlifec times a day. With the meal was a small quantity of salt fish which was put into the water as it was heating. This was for season ing. Deevcs' liver were also given. This lot of pigs usually cat about the following quantities per day ; 1 1-2 bu shels meal; 5 to 8 lbs, oi cheap salt fish ; 1 1-2 bushejs beets, and 25 livers. The above food would be verv cheap, excepting the livers, the price of which we do not know, and in making excel lent pork we should choose to dispense with them. The hog is doubtless par-, tiah'y carni vermis, and will thrive bet ter for having some animal food, but it does not produce pork so jialalabio as that made from vegetable lood, 1 1-2 bushels meal, 73 cts.
