The steamship Portland arrived yesterday even
ing, bringing US Galveston papers 10 tile 2Oth INST
From these We make some extracts:
Between ten and fifteen thousand dollars addi-
tiOna subscription to the stock OF the Galveston
Bay and Brazos Canal, has been made at NewIork.
We learn that the whole amount necessary TO con
strnct the work might have been readily obtained,
either in NewYork or Boston. The stock OF tile
Houston Plank Road has also been disposed OF in
those cities. The merchants there snow a IlVely
interest in the prosperity our growing state, and
are anxious to promote 1t, perceivIng, no doubt,
that they are also benefited by our increasing COM
merce If the merchants of Texas, who have re-
turned or written from the North the present season
are TO be believed, it is a great mistake to putdOwn
the business men, or majority Of the people there,
as the enemies of Texas CiUtidn, 11m
Merchandise of greater bulk and vaine has prob
ably been received at this port within the last tort
night, than during any corresponding period here
tofOre. The market had become pretty bare, but
is now more fully supplied than 1t has been Tor
long time. Several new and heavy eslahI shments
are commencing business; and country dealers
may rely upon being supplied here with every thing
thew may require, at very moderate prices. The
preparations for the winters business are on scale
proportioned to the growing demands OF the State
Ciutian goth.
For wonder, there is no news of Indian dePre-
dations.
