RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.


MONDAY, July %, 1851.
TOBACCO. The market to-day was more ami
mated and prices for all grades of manufacturing
bacco were higher than they were last week. Ship
er Sunday night indicated rain, but to-day it has
been fair. though the weather looks unsettled 1t is
to be hoped there will be good rain in few days.
The corn crop, in many parts Of the country, is suf
ferlng tor rain even more than the tobacco crop:
N. M. MARTIN g. co.
"WARREN COUNTY. July IS. The corn crop is a
gloomy indeed. The tobacco crop is not as prom
isng as it was the same time last year. Early plan
tings are buttoning with leaves about large my
hand"
"AmEL1A County, s2d July. The weather is very
dry, and the crops look very badnot better than they
were last year this time.'
"AME1IA COUNTY, July 22d. The prospect for the
tobacco crop is, think, much worse in this neigh
borhood than it was last year. do suppose that
have fewer than 60 or $4,000 missing hills in my
crop and the corn is suffering severely from drought.
From the 18th May to the Ilth of this month, we
had no rain to any good. and since the llh (when
we had good shower,) We have had at all.
That the crop of tobacco will be shorter than that Of
last year, have not doubt.
"GRANvllLE County, N. c., July %. lam sorry
to inform you that all through this section of State
We are having one of the longest droughts have
er Known. The prospect for corn in some neighbor-
hoods quite alarming. and the prospect for tobacco
as bad and perhaps worse than last year,

MEXICO.
The Washington Republic thus notices the late
demand by Eng land, France, and Spain upon Mexi-
| CO for debts due from the latter to the former:
" FOREIGN DEMANDS AGAINST Mexico. We pub
lish accoun, of the demand made by the ministers
Of England, France, and Spain upon Mexico for the
debt due from the latter government to the former
| respectively.
This is a demand calculated to embarrass nation
whose financial condition is not perhaps in the most
| fourshing condition. We observe, however, that
the Congress of Mexico had increased the duties,
probably for the purpose of making good the engage.
ments.
1t is added that the ministers of the three grea,
powers referred to have asserted that, unless paymer
be speedily made. decisive measures will be taken to
obtain payment. This is summary course of action
and seems the more singular from the combined de-
mand being made at the same time.'
Gen. Quitman and Senator Fooe came together -
at Sledgvile, Mississippi few days since. We have
not heard the PARTICULARS Neither seriously in.
