December %, 1851. :

We are without later information from
abroad, since our last, and have no changes
to make in our home Market. Tobacco is
the only article that is attracting any atten-
ton, at present. So is the highest price we
know to have been given. A number OF
crops have been contracted for, without
fixed price. Growers are not willing to sell
at present rates, and as the season adances,
prices will doubtless advance--particularly
for good descriptions. We observe it is
quoted in Hannibal at from 81 rs So per
hundred.
The weather haa materially moderated in
the last few days, and is now quite pleasant.
The river is still closed.

"DANIEL BOONE.
"To his Excealancy governor Shelby"

LETTER FROM Mr.. Several
operatives in the Massachusetts, mills, re-
Gently addressed letter to the Hon. Daniel
Webster, requesting him to use his influence
to protect them from the crushing and OPP
pressive results of the present tariff. Mr..
Webster replied as follows:
DEAR SIR: have received your letter
of the 9th of this month. No man is better
satisfied than l am of the necessity of such
revision of our revenue system as shall pre-
vent frauds in importations, and to do JUS
tice to the labor of the country. This, in
my opinion, is called for as much by con-
siderations of public policy, as by what is
due to the industrious operative.
Very respectfully, yours,
DAN'L WEBSTER.

SUDDEN DEATH.--A son of Sarshel
Woods of Carroll county Mo-, aged some fif-
teen years, died very singularly last Tues
day evening. He was at school in the neigh
borhood; and standing up in the class to
spell the evening lesson when without any
apparent cause or previous complaint, he
dropped down dead! 1t is supposed that
there must have been some malformation of
the heart, but it is not often that one dies
so suddenly at his age, when in apparent
health. Brunswicker,

TFCol. Stewart, the President Of the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, has gone
to Washington City to attend to the interest
the work. We hope Congress will make
an appropriation of land at an early day Of
the session, and that the work will be COM
menced as soon as the winter breaks up
We have no doubt the appropriation will be
made, and the sooner the better both for the
company and the United States. If the road
were located before the appropriation is
made not an acre of public land would be
left on the route, and the company would
have to look to other sections for public lands.
But if the appropriation is now made and the
sale ofland stopped on the line of the road,
the land will be worth five or six times the
present prices to the company, and the gov
ernmhnt would sell the alternate sections
for So or So per acre in the place of 81 25.
The Government would actually make two
or three millions of dollars by granting the
donation. There is no mistake about this
fact, and interest as well as duty prompt her
to give what we ask Hannibal Messen-

ILLINOIS ToBAcco.-We were shown yes
terday two samples ofIllinois tobacco, which
for size snd texture cannot be surpassed
even by our own State, for the purpose Of
stripping. We also learn that several lots
ofIllinois leaf, suitable for cigars and manu-
featuring, have been received and purchased
in this market. This speaks well for the
growth of Illinois, and from present indica-
tions, it will soon become one of the many
staples of that State. The leaf which has
been offered has mainly been in wagons, and
has been sold for ST. so for lugs, 81 80 to

Fire Annihilator,

Mr.. Phillips, the inventor of the fire ami
hilator, has arrived in New York. He has
come to this country to assist in the estab-
lishment of mandatory for the construc-
ton of his machines. Should he, and the
company concerned with him, succeed in
bringing the invention into practical use, and
should the invention itself accomplish all that
is claimed for it by foreign journals, his So
iourn in this country will be long remcm-
bered. The great experiment, on which
are suspended the hopes and fears of specu-
lators, to say nothing Of the well-wishes of
the invention, will come off, the Journal Of
Commerce says, some time this week. We
rejoice that the question of the utility of the
machine is soon to be definitely settled
For some months past, the public mind has
been good deal vexed with contradictory
statements on the subject, and the prevail
ing impression is unfavorable to the ami
hilator. Most sincerely do hope that the
promises of those interested in the invention
will all be fulfilled Lou.J Journal.

An Extensive Proprietor.


The San Francisco Times and Transcript
states that Senior Pacheeo, of Santa Cruz
county,is the owner of three eleven-leagues
grants of land, or about 100000 acres. This
is three times the quantity allowed to any
one man, by the Spanish or Mexican law
To avoid this legal provision, the grants
were originally given at three different pc
riods, and it was said different name was
used each time. AT the present time, there
are 10000 head of cattle on the 33 leagues
rancho, and the whole property is assessed
at 81 100000. The taxes this year will
amount $4,000, requiring the sale of about
1000 head Of cattle to raise the money!
Some idea of the value of land, in that part
of California, may be found by the assess
ment of the grants before specified. Sup
pose the cattle are reckoned at $40 head,
which is probable moderate estimate, their
total value would be 100000 leaving $780,
600 as the value of land, or about three dol
lars and half per acre.

in winning the rich domain of Kentucky from
