A NEW NEBRASKA BILL-Washington,
April 23.-An effort will be made to-mor-
row to introduce another Nebraska bill in
the House, when the States are called for
resolutions. The friends of the move will
presen. it as a new measure, but it will be
an old acquaintance with new face, and
essentially the same as the Douglas propo-
stion. A number of members are absent,
which may render the scheme successful (;
at least most strenuous exerlions will be
made to render it so. The opponents 10 the
Nebraska bill are apprehensive of the result
Mr.. Benton has prepared long and vio-
lent speech in opposition, and will try for
the floor. His speech will make some sew

ToBAcco CRoP.-The cold and unsea-
souable weather we are now experiencing
has had most deIeirrious effect on the
young and tender Tobacco Plants. II is
the opinion Of Planters of good judgement
that the prospect for The crop OF the COM
ing season is more unf+vorable than il has
been for many years. This, in the face Of
the fac, that The crop of last year was We
~ shor, one, and HE supply in first hands
less than has been known for num-
Der Of years, warrants the assertion that The
price Of the article is at presen, Too lou
and that a considerable advance must soon
take place.
The total amount ofall kinds ofTobacco
inspected in Baltimore since frs, January,
1854 is 2,S41. In the same period last year

CIGAR MANDATORY IN ST.. MARY's.-
Messrs. HARRIS S, CAVALIER sent us, q
few days since, supply of Cigars, which
were manufactured by them at Leonard
town, ST. Mary's county. Not being q
Judge of the article ourself, we handed
some ofIhem round among our friends, and
they ell pronounce them 10 be Of superior
quality. We learn tina! these gentlemen
have had their factory in operation some
two or three months, and are already fully
supplied with orders. They use the best
imported Tobacco, not having as ye. made
up any Of our own growth. They intend,
however, after while, 10 use the latter in
manufac turing chewing tobacco, Sc
There is every reason why they should re-
ceive the patronage of our citizens, and we
would especially recommend them 10 the
merchants in Southern Maryland. The least
they can do, as friends to home industry,
would be TO give the establishment. a fair
trial. There is no reason why this article
may not be manufactured among US as well
as in Ballimore-at any rate, the expert
ment should have the sympathies Of the
lower counties.

LONDON, March 80, lS54.-War has fair

there are TO be no privateers, no impress

me be framed expressly TO meet the views
Of The United States. Her commerce will
no, be interrupted except by actual block
ade. If the latter be enforced, the supply
ing this country with five million quarters
of heat will fall 10 the United States;
and as emigration will continue, if The Gov
eminent can keep quiet so as not to check
confidence in United States securities by
any threatened war, capital will flow I"
your side so as to enable the Americans to
finish their mos, impor,snt railways, and
the country will prosper beyond oil former
example. The Cuba effair has already
checked the demand for American stocks
and bonds. Capitalists are very sensitive
in regard to any warlke demonstrations on
your side.
