was thrown upon the ground, aud before
she could recover her feet, the animal rolled

conveyed Madame Caroline unconscious

The great contest Of speed between the fine
steamers Eclipse and A. l.. Shotwell, from
New Orleans 10 this port, has Just closed, (thc
former having arrived here several days ago,
and the latter reaching this port on yesterday
evening,) and in the annals of steamboating,
since the first successful introduction Of steam
upon tue Western waters, there has not been so
much excitement in these parts as 10 the relative
speed of boats, as in the recent contest between
the Eclipse and the A. l.. Shotwell. Large
wagers have been made and lost, and confidence
remained undiminished, up to the last moment,
thatthe latter would eclipse the unparalleled time
made by the former in her recent trip from
I New Orleans. Considering The immense DIS
lance, and the few opportunities Of learning The
"touching points" the inducements to excitement
were very great. Last evening Portland (the
river being too low at this time for boats to pas:
over the Falls) was literally crammed with eager
fpces on the qu piUe TO greet the first indications
! of the arrival Of the Shotwell. The very mo-
ment of time was calculated that she should ar.
rive. The time Of the Shotwell, from port &c
port, was 4 days, 8 hours, and 30 minutes
beating the Eclipse 2 minutes.
The Time Of the Shotwell is disputed this
morning, the friends Of The Eclipse claiming f
have won by 20 minutes.

Census for 1850,


In these Reports, but lately published,
we find many cilious, as well as interesting
statistical facts.
Ia Missouri, estimated for the list of June,
1850, we find, Of lands held as private
property, the following facts;
improved lands, 2,93S,425 acres.
Uuimproye1 lands, 6,794,245
- Total, 9,792,670
Whole Value, $63, 225,543.
Average Value per acre, $3.50.
These are the amounts and values rem
dered by the owners 10 the officers taking
the Census.
These facts show that less than one third
Of the lands, held as private property are
improved, and in cultivation; and that, in
Guiding Improvements, the average value
was Only six dollars and fifty cents per acre
rs estimated by their owners. 1t shows
ako, how small proportion Of the lands o.
the State had been reduced 10 private
ownership and cultivation.
We know, however, that within the las
three years, an immense quantity, perhap
SO per cent, has been enteredSand reduce,
60 private ownership; bur moi 1.-THE of thi
has been reducedto cultivation. 1t show,
also, that looking to the character Of til
soil. as indicated by the productions, unde
ihe-propor head, our lands are rated muc
lower than the lands Of other States {
similar character,
A comparison Of price with production
shows, conclusiveIy, that we generally ur
derrate our lands, as compared with othe
States. Lands adapted TO planting an
farming, with equal fertility Of soil, and ST
perior commercial facilities, are certanl
more valuable, for farming purposes, alone
than locations and States which have nc
those facilities, or have them in part only

RAILROADS AND PLANK RoADs.-We learn
from a gentleman who returned fast Saturday
from a tour through several western counties,
that the interest in the North Missouri Railroad
continues undated. The people of Monroe
county, he thinks, will vote for a subscription
Of stock TO that road - the amount to be $780,
600, provided it passes through Paris, and $780,
900, if it passes elsewhere through Monroe
county.
The $4,000 subscription to the Hannibal,
Rails County and Paris Plank Road, he thinks
will be defeated. They will regret this, if they
thus throw by a certainty for an uncertainty.
Besides, they cannot have command Of too many
good markets.
A vote has been taken in Randolph county,
on proposition to subscribe $75 600 stock in
the North Missouri Road, Result not yet
learned. u9Q .@Il8LTJS ava sJT 4
Boone and Galloway counties seem to be much
