LATEST FROM TEXAS.

The steamer Alabama arrived at New Orleans on
the I'd instant from Galveston, with dates from that
city up to the 30th ut We take the following
items from the Picayune Of the Sd.
The Alabama arrived at Aransas on the 25th ult.,
and, on the following day, with the assistance of the
Undine, which had just got in, landed Gen. Taylor
and the United States troops the former had taken
over.
The steamer Monmouth, now in the service OF
the United States government, arrived ut Galveston
on the 3lst ult., short of fuel and water, and
quiring repairs to her machinery. She was to leave
on the following day for Arkansas.
The following is an extract of letter from Cap
tain Grce, of the Undine, giving account Of the
landing of the United States troops in Texas IL IS
dated
"ARANsAs BAY, July &c, 1916.
"On Saturday the 26th instant. the American
flag was first planted in Texas, by authority upon
the south end of St. Joseph's island, upon which
am landing the troops from the Alabama, inside the
bay There are now 500 men encnmped here and
the scene is full of interest The other vessels with
troops are not expected to arrive for several days"
From all accounts, it would seem that the Texan
convention is progressing rapidly with the business
-efore it, II is thought that the members will get
through with everything by the middle of this
month, (Augus) The seat Of government, is said,
will probably be continued at Austin for the next
four or five years
DIR. ID. A. Perry, Of Washington county, Texas,
was murdered, few days since, by negro, for
merly the property of the doctor. Although there
WINS no witness to the act, the negro was suspected,
accused, confessed the deed, and has been hung.
According to all accounts, the health of Galveston
continues remarkably good The weather had been
dry and rain was much needed.
The Civilian says tlra "it appears to be under
stood that majority of the members of the conven.
ton are in favor Of inserting clause in the cons-
tuition to prevent banks"
On the frontiers of Texas all would appear quiet
We see no account of Indian disturbances in any

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN
SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Great Britain, Capt. Hosken, arrived
at this port Sunday, August 10, at 81 o'clock,
in Is days from Liverpool, having left that port on
the Goth ult By her we have London dates to the
25th, and Liverpool to the Goth. The Great Britain
was telegraphcd as early as 10 o'clock yesterday;
and her arrival wrought to its highest pitch the
element which had been for several days gathering.
She passed the Battery little after o'clock firing
a gun, which was responded to by hearty cheers
from the assembled thousands. Captain Hosken is
an old and general favorte here, and his return in
SO noble vessel is heartily welcomed by all. He
had As passengers.

were firm, and there were some expectations Of
scarcity, and an advance.

In Parliament, there have been two or three per-

Ewart moved repeal Of the duty on butter and
defeated. A debate on New Zealand has been had,
but led to no result. A bill to enable the Jews to
hold certain Offices will probably pass.
COMMERCIAL.
The last two three days have witnessed less
activity in the cotton market, but prices remain as
previously, with an Improvement in Pernambuco to
the extent Of rthing per ID. The sales Of the week
show the respectable amount of AZ, $50 bags-an
average of more than 5000 bags daily. 10000 Ameri-
can, $50 Egyptian and 400 Surat, have been taken
on speculation. Dealers are gradually increasing
their stocks, from growing conviction, doubtless,
that the market has the lowest figure, and the
cheering prospects Of the country may induce RISE
They seem determined to take advantage of any

The Angelica IN. W Reporter notices the ia

President, in disregardng (as they alcge) the wish

"They have heretofore made it capital objection
to Mr.. Polk, that he has followed blindly and SER

have taken no little credit to themselves for their in
dependence in resisting his dictaton. They have
been conspicuous for their opposition to the will Of
General Jackson; and, in many instances, have moi
