Commercial Statistics—Trade of the Southwest— Interesting Intelligence. 1 have thought that some statistics relative to the’commerce of St. Louis, during the year 1847, would not be unacceptable to your readers, or at least those of them who may feel interested in the growth of the West ; and have accordingly culled from reliable sources a number of facts, which I herewith offer. The number of steamboat arrivals at this port, during the period named, was three thousand two hundred and sixty-six. The aggregate,ton- nage of these arrivals, according to custom house measurement, was a fraction over six hundred and one thousand tons. The arrivals were of two hundred and seventy-three different boats—the tonnage of which varied from sixty-five to eight hundred and fifty tons. It should be recollected, however, that all Western boats have the capaci- ty of carrying down stream at least one-third more than their measured tonnage would indi- cate. Of the two hundred and seventy-three boats employed in the carrying trade of this port dur- ing the year, one furcared and thirty-seven, or more than one-half, were owned here. The rest were owned at various points in the West, with the exception of two or three, that have owners in New York. The measured tonnage of the St. Louis owned boats is, in round numbers, thirty thousand tons. Of the whole amount of freight landed at our wharves within the period desanaied, they were probably the carriers of e-sixths. Although our citizens own so large a share of the steamboat stock employed by them, statistics show that boat building has not received so much attention here as at some other points. Thus, of the whole number of boats arriving as above stated, one huadred and one were built at Pitte- burgh and vicinity ; sixty-one at. Cincinnati ; forty-nine at New ‘Afbany and Louisville ; forty- one at St. Louis; thirteen at Wheeling, and eight at other points, he actual tonnage of freight landed at St Louis from different sources, was probably very nearly as follows: From New Orleans, and points below the mouth of the . hio river, 100,000 tons; from Ohio river towns, 75,000 tons ; from Cairo, and points intermediate between Cairo and St Louis, 15,000 tons. This, giving 190,000 tons of freight, comprises, for the most part, such arti- cles as are classed properly among imports, or those intended for consumption or domestic use. From the Upper Mississippi, (all above the mouth of the Illinois river,) the tonnage may be put down at 150,000 tons ; trom the lilinois ri- ver, 104,000 tons; from the Missouri river, 55 000 tons; and from Alton and ‘the coast,” 40,000 tons; total, 349,000 tons. This amount includes almost solely the staple products of the country, nineteen-twentieths of which are of articles in- tended for export. The aggregate falls short of the measure tonnage of arrivals as given, in con- sequence of the fact that while up-river boats carry more than their measured tonnage, those from New Orleans and the Ohio river do not usually carry to their full capacity. _ While the hi orgs statistics furnish a pretty fair indication of the relative importance of the export and import trade, they also point out the principal sources of wealth of this region. Not- withstanding the difficulties which attend the navigation of the upper Mississippi, it is per- ceivable that its tonnage was nearly one-third more than that of any other river. For many months in the year, navigation is entirely sus- pended by ice or low water ; yet this branch of internal commerce is more important than any other. A large portion of the egriculural, well as the mineral wealth of the» Wi n | ley, exists above the rapids of the Mi Ppl, and daily the resources of the country are be- coming more fully developed. When the eon- templated railroad trom Keokuk to Dubuque shail have been completed, the upper Mississippi trade will double its present value. Low water is the great obstacle to the navi- ation of the Illinois river, and it is exceedingly foubttul whether this evil ever can be entirely obviated. The banks of thestream are not sulli- ciently elevated to allow of canalling, or slack water improvements, and the am 1s too slug- gish to receive permanent benefit from the re- moval of its numerous sand-bars, even were such an undertaking practicuble. A railroad conmect- ing the foot of the canal with the Mississippi musteventually be resorted to. Meantime, the number of light draught boats employed ia its trade must greatly increase, as the opening of the canal, about to take place, will add greatly to the business of that region. ih The navigution of the Missouri is annually in- creasing, though not in the ratio of that of other neighboring streams. The fact is, the country which the Missouri drains has not reached that point of prosperity generally enjoyed inthe West, and, as a consequence, the people have but com- paratively little to export. Still, the farmers very generally are beginning to appreciate the importance ef an export trade, and are turning their attention to the rearing ot wheat and hemp for that purpose. The culture of tobacco appears to be on the wane—at least, it is not increasing. ‘The mineral resources of the State, which are immense, remain almost entirely untouched The improvement ot the navigable condition of the Osage river, one of the tributaries of the Mis- souri, which is about to be commenced, willadd reatly tu the developement of agricultural as well as mineral resources. That stream drains one of the richest portions of the State. Ia this connection, it may not be irrelevant to state, that of the two hundred and seventy-three boats mentioned as having visited the port of St. Louis during the year 1847, sixteen only had reached their fitth season. Western boats are built with but little regard to durability. It is necessary taat they should be of very light draught; and, to effect this, they are built of slight materials. They seldom survive their fifth season. Of the whole number of boats mentioned, no less than sixty have been de- stroyed since the Ist of January, 1847. Forty have been lost by sinking, twelve have been burned, and eight torn up. ‘This list, of course, does not include many that were suok and aiter- ward raised; nor the many sunk, buraed, blown up, &c., that had not happened to visit this port during 1847. Tne number of steamboats lost on the western waters within the period named, would provably reach one hundred ana filty.

The Slave Movement—More Runaways—Dealers in the Market—The Whigs and the Democrats. The slave movement in Washington is evi- dently only one of a series of slave abstractions planned for this vicinity. From all parts of this State, we hear of the mysterious disappearance of droves of them, which, of course, could not be the case, unless they received assistance— “aid and comfort”—{from abolitioni By this process, slavery is rapidly becoming extinct in Maryland, as those that are caught and brought back are immediately sold to slave dealer’ and sent to the Southern sugar and cotton planta- tions. I learn that the great slave dealer of this city,’ Hope H. Slatter, is now at Washington bargain- ing with the owners of the.captured runaways, and proposes to ship them all South. He sends thousands of captured runaways to that destina- tion yearly, and has made an ammense fortu at the busine: i Any one that will attempt to assert that the whigs of Maryland are not for Harry Clay, after the recent convention and public meetings, must have his judgment ec! by a cloud of peyptiag darkness. e frequently assert- ed before, there cannot be found in Baltimore one hundred whigs who do not prefer Mr. Clay as a candidate, to Gen.

A poor, unfortunate inebriate, named John Baumont, died yesterday at the hospital, from the effects of an attempt to commit suicide three weeks since. He placed a couple of boards across the railroad track, near Gray’s Ferry, and laying himself down upon them, was taken up by the cow catcher in advance of the train, the prongs of which entered his head and side, which eventually caused hisdeath. He remain- ed insensible during the whole period. Another case of hydrophobia has occurred among us, which, it is presumed, will terminate indeath. The unfortunate sufferer is a man of family, named William Knight, who, about three months since, returned from Austria, where he had been employed as a superinten- dent in the construction of locometives ior the railroads of that country, under the con- tract taken by the Messrs. Norris, of this city. Previous to his departure, he had learned a favorite dog to jump up and take off his hat; after having returned, he wished to ascertain whether his old tricks had been forgotten; he re- moved his muzzle, when the dog, atter fondlin, upon him, suddenly bit his cheek. The animal was, the same day, killed by accident on the railroad, and the unfortunate man never dreamed that he was rabid. Three days since, Mr. Knight was taken sick, but the nature of his disease was not suspected until he was thrown into con- vulsions at the sight of water. He was still alive late last evening, but the doctors in attendance have no hopes of raising him, the disease has taken such a hold of his system. 7 The jury in the case of William Brown, tried for berg coaeatned in the slave trade, brought in a verdict of not guilty, and the district attor- ney having entered a nolle pros. in a second bill of indictment found against the defendant, he was discharged by proclamation. A beautiful German flag of liberty, of black, red and gold, was this morning presented to the “Fretheits Verein,” or Liberty Union, formed the German residents of our city, by Mr. Horstmann. It now hangs suspended in qompa- ny with the American stripes and stars, in front of the Hermann House, in Race, above Fourth, the head-quarters of the association. This es- tablishment, kept by Mr. Kraft, has recently been improved and embellished in a splendid style, and is now as glowing as the enthusiasm that bubbles up in the breasts of the Germans here in sympathy with the struggles of their couatrymen in the faderland. They propose to take a prominent part in the grand demonstration on Monday afternoon, and the Maennerchor and other sons of song, associated together, have been rehearsing, to give the Marseillais hymn in full force, on thatoccasion. The Liberty Union alluded to, do not intend to confine their expres- sion of sympathy with the oppressed of Europe, to mere words, but propose contributing money, and if necessary, men and arms, to further the cause of republicanism. . A small boy, William Haslett, had his leg hor- ribly crushed last Thursday by a car on the city railroad in Broad street. He was taken to the hospital and the limb amputated near the thigh.
