LATE FROM TEXAS.

The steam packet New York, Capt. Wright,
arrived yesterday morning from Galveston
bringing dates from that. city up 10 Saturday
last.
Col. John s. Evans, well known citizen
of Texas, died at Galveston on the 22d inst.
and was buried with military honors.
Business appears 10 be brisk at Houston
| The Telegraph Of the 2lst inst. says, sour
streets are crowded with country wagons,
carving the merchandise concentrated here 10
! the most distant parts of the Repubic."
A line of stages has been established be
tween Houston and Austin, by Messrs. Smith
and Jones, which will be of great convenience
TO those visiting the seat of government.

Not one Of the papers received by US makes

| tier.
The news of the negotiation of the Texan
loan in Paris created no little Excitement at
Galveston and Houston. Many of the mer.
chants and others were offering to take the
treasury notes at three for one.
The expedition 10 Santa Fe is expected TO
leave about the Goth of Nay. The Texans
think they will be able to divert much Of the
Santa Fe trade to the new Republic
Some of the Texian journals appear 10 think
that the administration of Gen. Lamar has
been inefficient, but the covntry has rapidly
| advanced III every respect since he came into
power. The independence Of the country has
| been recognized in France and England. ia.
vcrable commercial treaties with different pow.
ers, loans effected, the Mexicans awed and
kept at bay, the republic respected, and every
thing has gone on prosperously. We do not
pretend TO be as well acquainted with Texian
policy as some, but we doubt whether any one
| could have done more for the country than
President Lamar has effected.
1t is expected there will be called session
Of Congress about the first of June.
The Houston Telegraph denies that Texas
has agreed to pay England, as her part of the
| Mexican debt, the sum Of one million pounds
and adds, that if any such stipulation was
made. it must have been in secret session, and

| Produce OF ". ENGLAND. The statistics
of our country collected by the Marhals at the
| lsSt census, are among our proudest records.
They display the boundless resources of The
| New World-its intrinsic wealth, which is
entirely independent of circumstances and of
ether nations, aud foreshadows the rank We
are destined TO hold when the discoveries Of
science shall have been fully applied TO agri-
culture as to other branches Of industry. The
amount of produce raised in N. England is
worthy of special notice. Maine is put down
as raising $40, I66 bushels of wheat, $780,
966 bushels CT other grain, and 1882 $50
bushels of potatoes. This, with a population
of 5OOs00. Massachusetts with population
of 737,7S5. raises about l59,923 bushels of
wheat, 1904, s54 Of other grain, and 5,354,-
6G2 of potatoes. Vermont, considering her
population, far outs;rips the others, though it
should be remarked that she is purely an ag-
ricultural state while the others are distin-
puishcd for commerce as well as 70: agricul-
ture. 10 that enterprising state, the farmers
raise 642 900 bushels of wheat, 4,05l,5lS Of
other grain, and 8, 206,7s4 OF potatoes. Rhode
