In scanning the city improvements here. the
other day, my attention was arrested by the demo-
luton OF certain old buildings in fremont street.

Yesterday there was quite novelty took place
In the Boston market, II being nothing more nor
less than the public sale of an entire cargo Of teas.
For long time past, all the Canton ships belonging

The best market for sales, and the event above
chroncled was SO rare one, that it has excited
considerable Growing here. The teas were Knocked
q. 10 Dealers and a! fair prices; and the story is,
how that the Heber's cargo, to arrive soon will
be sold here in the same way Ii is CURIOUS that
such an insignificant event should make such n
ElIghiy talk IN State street. but then, you see the
sending OF Canton vessels to New York has been
sore spot with the Bostonians, and they look upon
THIS as the commencement OF q new era l doubt
II Tor can see special causes why one. or even
wo cargoes OF teas, should be snapped up here Just
opw at auction, and which will not operate per
manen'ly. One OF these causes is the fever that
has tor some time past prevailed here in the tea
market, which has caused some rise in prices and
me other IS the general Juror for Specializing in
hy spectators, and then by dealers; coffee the
sane ditto moasses; and why not teas These
uses, as say, are but temporary, and when they
:, ,bsde, cargoes OF teas, whether belonging to
ostou or Philadelphia houses, will just as natu-
