Pri Prices yeu. Tosacco at at New. 5 ia det qua iv alt We see here a tremendous decline in sbout five years. The crop has wot varied so materially as prices. nn Tes Years. 125.20 Fr 125,741 8 0 1836, do 136,803--+ + 181,78, It will be observed that the last period of high pricus was ashort crop year, but still the value far exceeds that o! previous seasons, ‘The yield of 1841 was larger than for any preceding year. This was more than an average crop in quatity as well agin quantity. About one half of the tobacco cropof the United States is at this time produced west of the mountains, the bylk of which passes down the Western rivers te New Orleans, St. Louis and Louisville must in a few years become great depots for this article: Missouri, Indiana, Mlinois, and in fact all the Western States are rapidly increasing the production of this staple. ‘The different powers of Europe have late: y devoted a good deal of attention to the duties on this éxport from this country. Our government has within two years past des- patched two agents for the express purpose of travelling through Europe and obtaining all the information necessa- ry to govern us in forming treaties with those nations. In Great Britain, the tobacco trade has lately been a subject of much discussion, Mr. Hume, in the House of Com mons, on the 11th of March, moved that a committee be ‘appointed to examine into the present condition of the trade, and to inquire what effects have been produced by the changes in the law relating to it, and to report what may be advisable to promote the trade, which was agreed to. ‘The Banks of South Carolina have again made their monthly report.

THE TERMS OF THE TEXAS TREATY. Interference of ENGLAND WITH TEXAS. The Treaty to be Ratified within thirty days or Lost, THE NEGOCIATION WITH OREGON ARRESTED, Bold and Energetic Stand of Mr. Calhoun. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasuineton, 18th April, 1844. I am glad to be able togive you the facts; it mat- ters not whence I get them; it 18 enough that im- plicit credit may be given them. The leading terms of the Texian Treaty are as follows:— Ist. The United States are to discharge or as- sume the debts of Texas, to the amount of what the sale of Texian Lands will pay, and no farther. The assumption will only equal the sale of lands. 2d. Texas is to be admitted as a Territory, and to be allowed one Delegate in Congress. I am not positively informed as to the matter of the Dele- gate, but have no doubt as to the truth of the state- ment, 3d. Nothing is said about slavery; and on this point I suppose will be the only issue in ratifying the treaty. 4th. The accompanying correspondence (which will all be laid before the Senate) will develope the fact that England has been making overtures to Texas of an alliance. The government of the United States has been apprised of the fact. Mr. Upshur entered into correspondence with Mr. Everett upon the subject. Mr. Everett replied. Mr. Upshur wrote again. Since his death an an- swer has been received. And the whole corres pondence will be submitted to the Senate. 5th. The treaty must be tatified—in order to take efleet—within thirty days after it shall be sent into the Senate. Here is an additional important fact. The course which Mr. Calhoun has taken relative to the Oregon Boundary has arrested the negotiation upon that question with Mr. Pakenham. Nor can it be resumed again until Mr. Pakenham shall have obtained further instructions from his govern- ment. Ihave but few remarks to make to-night upon the above facts. One is to call attention to the ex- traordinary dispatch (so unlike Webster’s negocia- tion with Ashburton,) and energy, and decision of character exhibited by Mr. Calhoun. It reminds one of * Old Hickory’s” administration. The peo- | ple like a bold, prompt, and energetic leader, who is not afraid to assume the responsibility. The fact that the Oregon negotiation has been arrested by Mr. Calhoun’s position, leads me to think he will not relinquish an inch of bona fide United States’ soil, and hence the difficulty. If this be a fact, the whole mighty west will fling up their hats for joy, and hoora [that’s Webster's or- thography] for Calhoun. Doubtless the object of inserting the ‘thirty days” - | provision is to compel the Senate to act upon the treaty before adjournment. The facts respecting the interference of England with Texas are of an astounding character, and cannot fail to exasperate the people of this country, who will not allow a foreign power to interfere in a family quarrel between the United States and Texas. I had some time since informed you of these facts. The treaty must secure the entire southern vote —and Mr. Calhoun’s Oregon position will also en- sure it at least the entire democratic western vote. It will also get several strong northern votes. In a few short weeks Mr. Calhoun’s name will again be run up for the Presidency (in 1848) and nailed to the mast, all considerations to the contrary, notwithstanding. I don’t give this as my opinion, but as fact. In my previous letter to-day, strike out a note at the bottom, in which I express a doubt about C houn’s interference in King’s appointmeat, d&e. Calhoun has not interfered at all, and J want the statement to read to that effect. This is specially important. I could say much more, but my letter is full. S.B. P.S.—Colt’s great sub-marine explosion took place this P.M. Beautiful day—great dust—thor- sands there—vessel under full sail, all blown to the devil—full particulars to-morrow. Washington. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Wasuineron, April 14, 1844. COLT’S BUB-MARINE EXPLOSION. The Senate did not sit yesterday, and the House took an early adjournment tor the purpose of wit- nessing Colt’s explosions. The vessel to be ex- ploded was lying off in the ‘ Eastern Branch,” not far distant from the Navy Yard. The time fixed was half-past four o’clock, P.M. But long before the hour arrived, every avenue, street, lane, and by-path, began to be thronged with visitors to the scene of explosion, The day was unusually fine, and very warm, the thermometer at 80. Every species of vehicle was put in requisition, and all at exorbitant prices. Some rode in coaches at $5, others in barouches at $10; some on horseback, some in gigs, some in buggies, some in cabs, some in wagons, and some in ** machines,” to the great admiration and astonishment of the fat negro wenches. It was in one of these latter 5 rents ers” that I had the honor of mding in com with John A. Morrill, Esg., of New York, an veral other gentlemen of distinction The ride was highly picturesque and romantic, much roserab ee as it Was said, a visit to the En- glish races. Such crowds and’ eager throngs of travellers, ‘pressing through the fields, across the lots, over the fences, now along the half ploughed field, where the plough still stood in the midt of of its unfinished furrow—and now along the newly grase- carpeted meadow,where the dandilions and daisies gave presage of approaching May, and the delights of an opening bite Anon would thunder along the great thoroughfares some cavaleade of car- riages and galloping horsemen, raising a cloud of dust so large as completely to obscure, or more glussically, to obnubilate the whole field of vision in every direction. On looking back towards the city, all Washington seemed overhung and en- veloped in one grand and imposing cloud of dust, surpassing anything of the kind | had ever seen. When we arrived upon the banks of the Poto- mac, we found them lined with people, multitudes on multitudes, which no man could number, of every age, Sex, color, and condition—children paling in their ‘nurse's arms, urchins just unwhipt from school, one grand jubilee of darkies, grinning from ear to ear, and swallowing dust by the mouth- ful, grave judges, sage Senators, foreign diploma- tists, Members of Congress, not forgetting long John of Mlinois, towering aloft and smiling at the dust below; Indians of unknown tribes, and from latitudes never yet explored; some remained in their carriages, others sat upon their horses, the fences were covered as with grasshoppers, and the trees fil- led as with black birds; the frase upon the river's margin was spread out with individual handkerchiefs which had been used for less ignoble purposes ; here a not of naughty boys are amusing themselves with flirting stones, chips and pebbles, some to fall upon the heads of those below, others into the ter to be chased by frolicksome dogs ;—there the cab drivers and hackmen are coolin, their horses, and washing their dasty vehicles, by driv- ing them into an alarming depth of water ;—every species of water craft is in attendance, from punt to steamboat. As to the explosion, a need say but little of it. The vessel appeared to be a barq ~ of some 500 tons, with all sails set. When the time arrived she was loosed from her moors, the American flag was taken down, the red flag of death was left flying at the mast head—the wind carried her over the fatal submarine deposit, the galvanic wire was fired, and a moderate explosion destroyed the ves- sel, She was not blown up. into the heavens like those which were exploded in the harbor of New York. On the contrary, the explosion was very uiet : There were several other explosions under water, which threw up columns of water to an immense height, and with u very grand and im- posing effect. . I de filled my letter, and if I had not, 1 phould Voudertul have nothing more of importance to say, except that T have heard of no unfortunate acei ae wt
