A rise Of eight feet in the Trinity river was re-
ported e. Galvestsn. Corn was selling ON the Trin
ty at thirty cents per bushel. In regard to the
mouth OF the Trinity, the llveston Necs says-We
are informed that one of the two warehouses now
going up at the mouth Of the Trinity, is nearly
pleted IL will be remembered that Gen. Chambers
has already erected wharf reashing from Anahusc
channel to the bed of the river, and it is upon this
wharf that the buildings are going up. Boats IN
row land their cargoes upon one end of the wharf
ana receive 1T from the other end, where ID
be transferred by means of railway. The iron for
the track is soon expectsd but it is 80 arranged
that every accommodation will bs afforded even
before the iron is laid down. Thus the detention at
the mouth ofthe river in low tides WILL in a great
measure, be avoided, and the exposure to which
goods have heretofore been subjected be prevented,

been arrested

The Indianola Bulletin says We have received
from our old friend, Col John Banks, of Webber-
ville some specimens of the lately discovered Texas
marble. In his letter accompanying the same the
Col says: 'This marble is found in great abundance
in this vicinity, and should be go lucky as get
railroad from the coast, it will be great source
ofrevenue to the State" We were previously aware
that samples Of this marble had been sent to the
North, and b7 men Of science pronounced equal to
the best in The world; but the old maxim runs to the
effect that 'seeing is beeving;" and so with our
selves. We did not doubt the abundant existence Of
tans; but we were not prepared to see psrfe,t an
article. We have never seen marble more beautiful,
more perfect in its formation admitting high
or polish. Tho ground work is lighs dove, with
There every reason to believe that the interior Of
our State abounds in great variety Of valuable
stone and minerals. This marble is found in great.
est abundance in Hamilton's Valley, (now known as
i AASASS1
above Austin.
The Lavaca Commercial says Cotton is continu-
ing to arrive pretty freely and business of every kind
fifteen wagons arrive all in one train each one con-
tanning from to eight bales Of cotton and that
was not an unusual eight for this place, as the NUN
Der of wagons loaded with cotton that have arrived
here during the past two weeks must have averaged
as many as thirty per day. The quantity of mer
chandise brought to this market this fall is much
greater than that of any previous year, and the bust
tion to the amount of goods on hand. There were
only 500 bales of cotton raised in tho county of
Gonzales last year; this year there will be 5000
bales raised in that county The quantity of cotton
proportion to that of Gonzales This speaks well

have been raised on the Rio Grande this season,

Trade Of France.
In despite Of the warlike preparations in France,
Tor some time past the commercial position of that
country has been gradually but steadily ameliorat-
ing. and at the present moment the manufacturers
OF almost every description are in full employment.
For years past the manufacturers of that descrip-
il
had 20 many orders in hand Beyond their erdi-
nary customers, many Of these, and especially the
manufacturers Of broezes, modes, Sc, have re-
ceived orders which will fully occupy them for the
next Jour months. Ii is remarked that the demands
this year are extraordinarily steady. There is not
q gut of work at one time, and then period when
there is nothing to do The orders arrive regularly
and are distributed over the whole year. The de-
mand for goods for exportaion continues, in gene
rail- brisk with the exception Of that for the South
Seas, the recent differences between the govern
meDts Of the United States and Peru having created
some unessness. At Havrc, sales of cotton during
the last week only amounted to 4 600 bales The
stock reduced tool 800 bales The prices are with
out variation. Very ordinary Louisiana is quoted at

that on tho raw material. Wool is withou. any
change. but the stocks in hand are low. At Lyons

great. Silk Is always in demand in the markets Of
the Drome and Ardechc, and there is an improve
ment in the finer qualities, At Hlvre there has
been conii erable dems I'D for sugars, but prices
main tho same. At HsTre the good 4ths of West

deaux, 54f SOC to 55f. the so kilogrammes, duty
paid. AT Lille the price of the Indigenous sugar
