THE TOBACCO TRADE.

The Marlboro Gazette of Friday last
says:-C. EDWARDS LESTER, Esq, the A
merican Consul at Genoa, in conversation
recently held with gentleman of this coun
ty, stated that the King of Sardinia had in
timated to him his willingness 10 form
treaty with the United States, TO admit A.
merican Tobacco into his kingdom free Of
duty, or with low rates of duty, provided
the United States would admit the silks oil
Sardinia on the same terms.
Sardinia contains population of fou,
millions Of people, and the present con-
sumption of tobacco in that country does
not exceed sir thousand hogsheadS, the great
err portion of which is taken from other
countries than the United States. The peo-
pie of that country are fond Of tobacco and
if the introduction of it were encouraged by
the government, they would consume very
considerable quantity. The king thought
that fifty thousand hogsheads would be con-
sumed under such a treaty-and Mr.. Lester
gave it as his opinion, that should an ar
rangement of the kind be made, al least tina,
quantity would be used by the people OF
Sardinia. As an illustration of their extra
ordinary fondness for tobacco, Mr.. l.. stated
tina, he had frequently seen the poorer class
es of people under his window picking up
the fragments of cgals thrown out bv him
and others from the windows of his house;
and about thirty years ago, when Napoleon
Bonaparte opened the ports of the kingdom
to tobacco, great jubilee was held by the
people, and men, women and children were
seen smoking aud chewing tobacco, large
quantity of which happened at that time to
be in the vessels that ere then in port
This jubilee has been held ever since, and
handed down by tradition among the PEG
pie, as an epoch in the history of the coun-
try OF great importance, worthy to be held
in remembrance. This shows the extent to
which the consumption of tobacco would
be carried, provided the government would
relax its revenue duties and permit it to be
introduced freely into the country.
Mr.. Lester is of opinion that something
may be done for the tobacco planters, if rea-
sonable efforts were made; and consider
ing the apathy heretofore existing on this
subject, as we'll among the tobacco growers
themselves, as their ministers abroad, it is
highly important that some steps should be
taken by the government of the United
States to bring this subject to the serious
consideration of foreign governments. If
our present representative at the court of
Sardinia is to be removed, which rumor
says is true, we should be pleased to see
Mr.. Lester sent There. And we have no
doubt, from the zeal which he has hereto
fore manifested in behalf of this much op-
pressed class of our people, that something
to their great advantage may be looked for
from his negotiations on the subject.

Cured in that county. There, was one

other case in the village, and that no fear il
entertained of its spread in that section O
the country"

says the Argus, that the additional assess
ment made this year to the taxable proper
~ of the city of Baltimore is to the amount
Of $1,640,OO0 on fourteen hundred and
ninety new houses erected within the pre-

cannot but be gratifying to the tax payer, as
we'll as the city stakeholder. To the for
mer it will cause reduction of his taxes.
and to the other certainty of regular pay

and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river, has

Virginia, the order of the day for the I'd

francis THoMAs.-The Richmond papers
state that the case of Mrs. c.. S. Thomas Us.
Francis Thomas, being an application of
the former for divorce, was taken up be-
fore Judge Nicholas on Monday, the 22dI
ult. Messrs. Cooke and mcfarland, coun-
Sc! for the defendant, filed plea objectingI
to the jurisdiction of the Court, on the
ground that the law of 1927, upon which
the legality of the proceeding depended,
was repealed by the law of 1871. The
Compiler says: .......
On Tuesday, the Court having overruled
this objection, the defendants counsel ask
led leave to file paper declaring his inten-
ton to withdraw from the further defence
of the cause before this tribunal, and aIleg-
ing that he had Instituted suit against the
plaintiff in one of the Courts of Maryland {;
that he had, in the bill therein filed, invited
a full investigation Of the merits of the case,
and that he was not ready to proceed with
his defence here. The plaintiffs counsel,
Messrs. Taylor and Lyons, objected to fill
ing this paper, because it was not signed
and sworn to, and because it alleged matter
which the Court had no light to respect in
this form. The counsel stated further that
every material witness for the defendant was
or would be in attendance upon the Court.
The Court refused 10 file the paper.
The Jury was then impanneled; and the
Hon. REvERDv JOHNSON, of Maryland, was
examined as witness. His testimony, we
are happy to say, for the triumphant vindi-
cation of the plaintiff, proved that the de-
PENDANT had endeavored through him to
produce reconciliation; that he had con-
fessed the entire dezusiOn under which he
had labored, and had promised every repa-
ration in his power. The distinguished
witness, after full acquaintance with all
the statements and proofs of the defendant,
expressed the entire conviction of the lalsity
Of his charges, and Of the perfect innocence
of the plaintiff. Vs.. ..
The case was continued on Wednesday,
no counsel appeared in behalf of Ex-Gover-
nor Thomas. The Enquirer says:
The witnesses examined in behalf of Mrs
! Thomas, were Mrs. Gen. Darlington, Mrs
Cooke Of Cumberland, Mr.. Richard Grason
of Maryland, DR.. William Tyler Of Frede.

ture for divorce, was submitted to the jury

The dispatches received by the Govern
ment from Mexico, are deemed to be offs such
| importance as to render necessary some i'm
mediate movements on the part OF Congress.
Measures will next week be recommended
by the President, with a view to the prose
cution of our just claims upon Mexico to a
speedy issue.
Mr.. Bancroft, the Secretary of the Navy,
is preparing a report on the subject of the
Navy, which will be communicated to Con-
gress by the President next week, and which
will recommend the immediate finishing
and equipment of war steamers.
The downfall of Herrera, which is now
anticipated as certain, will break off all ne
gotiation with Mr.. Slidell, and his speedy
return to the United States may be expect
ed Generals Urea and Paroles mdoubt-
eddy have with them the people and the
clergy, and their violent and impolitic coun-
sells will prevail, at least until such time as
we shall be ready to batter down the walls
of the castle of San Juan de Ullora, or march
an army across the Rio del Norte, or take
possession of Monterey
Commodore Stockton will reach the coast
of California just in time to carry out the
views of the United States, in case of war
with Mexico. That he will have orders to
take possession of ertan ports in the Cali
fornias, there is no doubt. The next queS-
ton will be whether Great Britain will tame
Iy submit to it. 1t is conjectured that Id
miral Sir George Seymour has orders in
regard to that matter, and will not be slow
to execute them.

OUR CARRIERS ADDRESS.

All ye who patronise the "Times,'
now approach in shape of rhymes,
Just on the eve of a New YEAR,
And all | say shall be sincere:
Although I'm thought to do no good,
Oft in the DIS way I've stood,
And kept his unreenting arm
From dealing out to mankind HARM
IT'S true often court the bowl
And in its contents soak my soul
Presuming this ye all we'll Know

And help to stamp full many a scrawl
That's written down by some great Ounce.
Who s made a great man all at once.
There 5 not sheet that e'er goes out
From this our office round about,
That don't pass the roller DER
And cast it, into each mans door.
often fix the form, guess, .-..
And sometimes work hard at the press.
For this wish no commentator
But simply ask small compensation;
TITS true the Printers pay me well,
And this plain truth here must tell;
But still l think for distributions
| should receive small contributions.
This one and all must understand,
| don't set forth as demand.
Although know that nought is due,
Yet must ask 'fp" of you.
He who trots round about with news
Must oft of course wear out his shoes
This | must say is my sad case,
l hope you'll help them to replace;
Then Merchant, Doctor, Lawyer, Grazier.

FLoUR.-The New York Tribune Of
the Friday says: The entire sales of flour
for shipment since the steamer arrived
somewhat exceed $4,000 bbls. at $3.50
Receivers now ask $3.50 1-12, and we un-
derstand 1856 IA is bid by shippers
One reason why the entire amount, $4,000
or 10000 bbls. wanted for shipment could
not be made up was, that some of the large
receivers are shipping on their own account
