MEETING THE LEorsLAruRE.-Ag great majority
OF the people of New Orleans decidedly in favor of
convenng the legislature at as early day as possi-
Die IN order to take into consideration the condition
OF the banks. 1t is measure which is Indispensable
to the restoration of public confidence in those nsnu-
.utons; and we are highly gratifed at the proceed
IN ss OF meeting OF the cltlzehs of kapdes, the ON
clal account of which give in our paper of today

LArsR FROM THxAs-By the poteness of friend
we have been favored exclusively with copy of the
Telegraph, published Houston on the 18th of May
Il came by the William and Francis from Galveston
anu news rom the seat OF
government in Texas. President Houston on the
10th Of June suspended by proclamation the opening
OF the land offices, which by The law of 22d Decem-
Der, were to be opened on the LIST of June. Santa
Anna proclamation fills nearly all the extra" and
contains very precise detail Of his actions and his
motlves-his fears and feelings while prisoner in the
hands Of the Texans. He is high in eulogy Of Hous-
ton. The Telegraph of the 10th says -" The ex-
press mail from Mexico to Matamoras, was captured
by our enterprising fellow citizen J. Powell near
Monterey and brought into this city. 1t represents
the army both in Mexico and Matamoras as being in
deplorable condition. The town of Houston is
sprlnging up if its builders had possession of Alad-
din's lamp.-Ir american.
MONEY MARKET, CIry.-THuRsDAY, MAY 80, 1887.
Little can be said this subject for so little is doing
that business may be fairly called at stand. Specie
in small parcels still command 20 per cent The bills
of the non specie paying banks pass current how
ever in all directions for business transactions and
confidence in them seems considerably improved.
There would be no dstrust in them ALL but for those
who still keep up an excitement in the public mind by
pretending to pay specie for their bills The most
fal kinds-the fives and tens-of the down town bank
notes, are totally Withdrawn from circula,ionA Had
all the banks acted with unanmity, how much dis
tress and heart burning would have been avoided but
the selfish policy of the few has served only to
Danish confidence for longer period, while it has
exhausted their Golfers without materially benefittng
any.-Ibid.
