Trouble in Hall Street.-The Teas Boundary
Heapy Storm and is Egscis--.4,ripm Of the
,.Anterica, &c.
The Stock Brokers of New York, who, in an
tlcipation of the passage of the Compromise Bill,
have bought up large amounts Of Texas bonds,
are getting quite uneasy at the course affairs are
taking at Washington in relation to the Texas
boundary. The announcement that an stra session
of the Legislature OF Texas had been called and
that the people were assembling to express their
Indignation and their determination to resist all
attempts to violate the treaty of annexation, has
caused quite panic among them and fearing
that the bad spirit evinced in the long Congress
sional debates may lead to rupture, and con-
sequent decline of about 25 per cent in the value
Of their bonds, they watch the proceedings with
intense interest iHt- 8
! We had an almost unprecedented storm OF rain
and wind during the past night, doing considera-
BILE damage in all sections of the city. Some
dozen or more houses in the course of erection
have been Frustrated, and some damage done to
the shipping in the harbor. The trees and avn
ngs in all sections of the city were torn and scat
tered, and learn that the brig Pawtucket, which
sailed from Baltimore on the 9th inst for Cali
fornia, is ashore of the Capes and dsmasted, with
several other essels.
The family Of President Taylor, with Col Bliss
and lady, and DR.. Wood and famiy, arrived in
Baltimore last evening, and have taken up their
quarters at the Eutaw House. Mrs. Taylor has
resolved to spend the balance of her days in this
city, with her daughter, Mrs. Wood.
The steamer America has just arrived with one
weeks later intelligence from Europe, telegraphic
despatch Of which forward you. MA
There is nothing of special interest stirring in
this city to-day, and the Northern presses contain
nothing new except speculations with regard to
the Cabinet making going on at Washington.

under date of the 10th ult., as follows:
The government are following their impolitit
l.course-the prisons are filled to overhowing
