Ad mitting the fact ttViled above, that trade and v . travel always isek their destination by tie ' snost rapid route, the next questions are, what would be their ultimate destination, and which their quickest route ? The trade of Northern Missouri will have - several destinations. Comparatively a small pro '. portion will fco to supply the local wants of St. ; Louis, Hannibal, ond other points at home. The remainder, whether it fulls to the Ilanni . bal or St. Louis merchants, will ultimately find t its market, by crossing the river, and then taking northern, or eastern, or southern direction. , Remember that but a few miles of railroad cast of this city will continue the Hannibal and St, Mfth Railroad on almost an "air line" to the Atl.nti .! u.lmn t1i rVn'mt Kmlrnr..! thaTl have been completed, we will be in con- j T1'0""'"1 I'" ordinance to that pur- . , , , , , i, . ,, 'pose, r or further pui tioiilar rcjrardinpr our fi- v nectwn with the lakes, and the gulf of Mexico.

It would cost ot much to cru the river at St. Charles, at it would io cunvij the frciglst on 'h railroad the ;. whole one hundred and fifty miles from the Han- ' nibul and St. Joseph railroad to the Missouri river. The results would be that passengers ; would cross over, but all the heavy freight - would be shipped to St. Louis by water, from St. Charles. After loading it would not cont . much more fer transportation. Boats could take produce at cheap from Hannibal to St. - Louis, At from St. Charles to St. Louis, because tho former would have passengers, tho latter ' none, 'at pusseugert would prefer the railrvad Again,'llannibal being made a great rendrzvous for trade, bouts would be laden directly for New Orleans, wiih ne more espouse for freight than if the thipmcut had been made from St. Louis. Beyond the special local demand for St, Louis, the merchants of thut city can only buy for rc shipment, and here they urc on no belter than n equal fooling with the Hannibal inerehuuts, whom the S.inl Joseph dealer cun reach by one hundred miles less of railroad truvel, without extra expense or trouble. If he should desire to take his produce to the I'at, Nvrlh, or Seuth, the case wauhl stand preciso'y in the same con dition.

Our fellow-cilizent have for an iMer year confided the municipal affairs of this our growing city, to our especial care and man iigement; I believe we al) duly appreciate the honor and responsibility; I say it gives me plea sure, became I see many among you that I have had the honor of being associated with in this Council the past year, and I am so well ac quainted with you all that I know I can count on your co-opeiafion in everything that will ben efit or improve our city. My burden too, will be light, as I know j on have a mountain of charily for your Mayor. The past year hat been one of unusual activi ty in our city aff..in. We have expended a large nmotint of money in subscriptions to Dank, Gravel and Rail Roads, lending into this city. We have within the last six months, paid in cash, tho full amount of oin subscriptions to the stock oT the Hannibal and New London Plank Road and Bridge Company, vis,.: ten thousand dollars. The rcguTar calls of the Hannibal and Paris Plank Road Company have also been promptly paid when due. The money to pay the interest on our city debt has ulwnys been placed in the American Exchange Rank, New York, to meet the coupons before they became due; we have id so paid the balance due on the Vail Claim, be ing seventeen hundred and sixty-seven dollars, which forever settles that in full; we have also expended a large amount of money in city im provements, but owing to a combination of tin favorab'e circumstances, bad weather, scarci ty of laborcrt, &c, &o., the grading, embonk ment, and graveling of Market sired und T.l myra Avenue have not been finished according to contract. The contractor hat not been able to progrctt with this work as fast ns he con tracted; but you will in your wisdom make such arrangemcnti at will bring these improvement! to at rapid a completion us possible. I 1 iave the satisfaction to inform you that all just dues and demands of every character against this city have since my administration been promptly met when due, and the credit of our city botu at homo and abroad deserves to stand well. At an election in thit city in August, 1851, a majority of the resident tax payers on real es tate in this city instructed my predecessor, Mayor Harrison, to subscribe J iTty Thousand Dollars stock in the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad; it became my duly to issue the bonds of thit city to carry out ihat arrangement. I have paid over tolhe Treasurer of taid Railroad t wcr.tv per eT. of i iil)erintii)n, viz.: Ten ments.

After toiloome and tedious journey of five months, we are, through the providence of the Omnipotent One, permitted to rest our wearied selvct in the golden land of promise. To be candid, I must confess that like many others who have come to 'tee the elephant,' I was a little disappointed: that California it not quite the thing it was 'cracked up to be.' 1 Ins is the dullest season of tho year. Owing to a scarcity of water, the mines, generally speaking, are paying but poorly. Wnget are reduced; provisions, groceries, clothing, Sic, though cheap enough, are on the advance, and generally speaking, timet pretty hard. The city it thronged with emigrants just nr rived. Vast numbers of them are without mo ney, out of employment, worn and tick of the (rip; the bright star of their hopes it sunk be hind a cloud-dnrkened horixon; the coLprit pronjifrts which led them to forsake the land of their nativity, the cradle of their childhood anil the home of their youth; to leave father, mother, brother, sister; to quit alt that was near and dear to them, and brave the thousand perils and pri vations of a journey of over two thousand miles, through a mountainous, desert, and howling wil derness have all fled like the bright colort of the rainbow before a dark cloud, and they arc almost overwhelmed w ith grief and disappoint ment, and are upon the point of sinking in des pair. Hence we may easily account for so many persons leaving this country ns soon as they can get off. They look upon it us one of the worst of placet and the most accursed of countries. Do not think that I too am disheartened, or that I dislike the country fur from it so much us I have seen of it I am well pleased with. I am of the opinion that almost any man who lives twelve months in this country will be satisfied to make this lys home. I found no difficulty in gelling into business, nor will any one else w ho will try. It is true that a man cannot make, money in this country so fast as ho once could, but what the country has lost in thut respect, it has gained in others. It does not cost one-fifth of what it once did to live in this country. A person can live and dress just at well here as uny occasion for in the Slates, und it will cost him but a trifle over what it will there. Here a man, at almost anything he chooses to follow, will iave five dollars where he would iave one in the States. So toon at the season commences, times arc bound to be belter. A large portion of the rich est of the mines, which cannot now bo worked, will pay a handsome piwfit; business of every kind will be enlivened; prospects will brighten, and everything will seem changed for the bet ter. Then it is, thut those who are eo bitter against California will be apt to become recon ciled to the country and changed in opinion. For a week before we arrived, every one we met told us frightful stories about what awful ravages the cholera was making in Sacramento,' n ' but en our nrrivul we found it to be a hoax to :...i..,.. i.. i.. . i ..ii i induce people to stop about JIangtown and Diu - , c Tl , , b, . . uiond Springs.

We started at day -break, und on our way through Huston, Ruxbury, Dorchester. Ncpouset, Quincy, Ilingham, Weymouth ond Mnrshfield, we taw every demonstration of heartfelt sorrow. The bells were tolled, min ute guns were fired, flags were hung at half mast w ith the badges of mourning upon them stores wero covered with while und black drapery, und in the way all along was heard the voice of lamentation und mourning. The liar nest of our horses even, was trimmed with the badge of sorrow, and silently aiul sadly we went to the grave of Webster. The person of Webster was clad in n blue coat with brass buttons, n light vest, white pan talooua and Bailer boots the favorite dress worn when living. The corpse during the morning wat put under a large silver-poplar, (hi only iree on the premises thut was yet green ; and it seemed to respond to the last sentiment of the great man, who had once nursed it with care "I still live." The services were solemn and appropriate, and though there was uu immense throng around, all wat still and solemn as if the spirit of the departed was hovering over, watching every movement.

And while the world, too prone to worship mere intellect, lumen's that the orator und states man is no mors, we enter upon more snored irrotind, and dwell upon the example und coun sels of a t'hrhliiin, a a htishand, father und friend. I trust it will he no rude wounding of the spirit, no intrusion upon the privacy or do mestic life, to allude te few circumstances in the last scenes of the mortal existence of the urcat man who is gone, filled to administer Christian consolation, and to guide to a better acquaintance w ith that religion which is adapted bolh tu temper our grief and establish our hone. Those w ho were present upon the morning of that Nahhath upon which this head of o family conducted the worship of his household, will never forget, as he read from our Lord's sermon on the mount, the emphasis which he nlone was capable of giving to that passage which speaks of the divine mil ure of forgiveness.

Mr. Webster's religious sentiments nd feel ings were the crowning glories of his charac ter. After prayer a procession was formed, which w-us about a third of a mile in length. The pull bearers were the farmer-neighbors of Mr. Web ster men from 50 to 70 years ef age, who seemed deeply affected. F,;toli side of the rood, on the route of the procession, was lined with ppople. The marked peculiarity of the funeral waa the absence of all formality, pretension, and os tentatious display. The following was tho Pa Aim at tu c Tomb. We now commit this 'body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, look ing for the general resurrection in. the lust day and the life of the world to come.' May these mourning relatives of the iTIuttri ous dead, and this vast concourse assembled to honor his memory, profit by the testimony of hie life and death to the reality of Christian faith, and thus become better fitted to pass the solemn lest when the Son of Man shall sit upon the throne of His glory und be Tore Him shall bo gathered all nations. These blessings we implore through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and tho love of God, nnd the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all, Amen.
