Ocean steamships at Ra,,imor,.

We are happy to perceive that our sister
city of Baltimore, whose fame for building clip
per schooners has spread all over the world, is
about to follow the example of more northern
cities, by the establishment of an ocean steam
ship line. We have long been convinced that
Baltimore, to hold her relative commercial
rank and keep even with the growth of other
cities, would have to follow this course and in
her doing SO, we are also satisfied that neighbor
ing places, including our own city, will be very
materially benefited. The american of yes

"The Wing party in the first district, as we re-
ported yesterday, nominated Mr.. Richard Hagan
to represent it in Congress. His nomination was
all but unanimous upon the first ballot, warmly
80, and by reclamation afterwards. We have
known Mr. Hagan many years, both as a citizen
and as member of the first Municipality Coun-

and intimate acquaintance with corporation du-
ties, made him conspicuous member We well
come his nomination at this time however more

come the nomination Of Mr.. HAGAN.

Element of Bathurst, on the coast Of Africa
Bathurst, the reader may remember, is an
English settlement at the mouth of the river
Gambia, and within a comparatively short dis
tence of Albreda, one of the French facto-
ries on the same coast. The trade up the Gam
bia is principally in the hands of the French
who employ there between eighty and ninety
vessels. The authorities of Bathurst have re-
Gently established hospital at that place, and
to sustain it have imposed tax of one shilling
(Brltish) per ton on all vessels entering the
Gambia. The French traders are the parties
most affected by the impost, which they protest
against as unjust, on the ground that they pro-
vide for their own sick at Albreda, and that the
Bathurst hospital will therefore afford no
benefit to them They have therefore ad-
dressed memorial to their government setting
forth the exorbitancy and injustice of the tax,
which, if persisted in, seems not unlikely to
give rise to unpleasant proceedings.

be of permanent endurance. The popularity of

cause it has been won by moral courage, and by
refusing to seek popularity at the expense Of prin

other candidate for the Presidency will at least
concede that he deserpes to be President No man
need deserve higher tribute. He deserves it by
his pure, calm, wise, patriotic administration Of
the Government in the most critical period of it's

his acts that the Government can be safely en-
trusted to his hands. He not only deserves it, but
in our opinion, he will obtain his deserts

CULTIVATION OF TOBACCO IN New YoRK.-It ap.
pears that the culture Of this plant has really
entered into the domestic economy of this State,
and considerable attention is paid to raising it for
market in different sections. In Onondaga and
Madison counties crops have been taken from the
soil the present year which are said to be excellent
in quality, and likely to prove highly profitable to
the farmers who have raised them Within n few
years experiments in some of the western and
eastern States have proved that tobacco may be
successfully and proftably grown in this climate.
IL has been shown, however, that the crop requires
qualities OF the land very rapidly These obiec.
tons have not been found great as to prevent
the undertaking of its cultivation as a merchanta-
bic article. The amount Of care that the plant
requires during its progress TO maturity, we are
not made aware OF, but il appears evident that
frost happening at an earlier period than ordna-
ry, would inJure very much, If not DESTROY the
crop. The Syracuse Journal states that the tobac-

frosts, but not to such extent az to effect any

year, and the average product has been 400
pounds per acre. A good crop yields about 1000
pounds but even at 400 il is said 10 be more pro

the British government is in no respect identi-

Commercial Intercourse with the East.

Mr.. BALEsTIER, who was sent during the
of General TAYLOR as CONNER
cial agent to Cochin China, Siam, Borneo, and
the Malayan Islands, has returned to New York
en- route to Washington, having arrived, via
England, by the Baltic. From statements in
New York journals it appears that Mr.. BALES
TIER failed in his efforts to negotiate treaty
with Cochin China, whose government adheres
rgidly to the principle Of non-intercourse. At
Siam the reception was more friendly, but the
result was substantially the same At Borneo
satisfactory commercial arrangements were en-
tered into with the Sultan Of Bruni. and with
the Rajah Of Sarawak, although the departure
Of the latter for England, in consequence of i'll
ness, postponed the completion Of the stipula
tons.

All these rates, it will be seen, are based on
the accumulation Of interest at per cent. In
this country, however, the interest is never less
than 8 per cent; in some States 10 per cent. is
obtained, with reliable securities. Considering
the important part which the principle of com
pound interest acts in life assurance, it follows
that the premiums charged by the United
States offices ought to be lower than those above
quoted. That is, provided there be no climatic
or other influences to produce higher rate of
mortality than prevails in Britain.
Having no desire to puff or disparage par
ticular societies in operation in the United
States, we abstain from referring in detail to
the tables published by offices to which New
York or New England has given birth. We
may say, however, that as a whole their pre-
mlums exceed those which are recorded in the
last column of the previous table. The fol-
lowing are the premiums levied by one office
only at the ages named, the sum assured being
$500:
Age, 90. 1865 Age. 40. $l1.50
Age, 3d.. 800 Age, So. l7.25
The prospectus from which these figures
are taken declares that ''the rates charged are
twenty-five per cent below those charged by
other American companies"
