Hlyn P. H. Weedersum, saddler and harness
maker, has removed from Commercial Row, to
the builing formerly occupied by V. Coddou as
confectionery store, corner of St. Philip and
Main streets.
Rag Messrs. Bennett & Galabert are now bu-
silly employed in opening their large stock Of
books, stationery, etc., just received from New
York, and other northern cities. This estab-
lishment is credit to our town.
By~ Capt Luce, and number of passengers
of the Inflated steamer Arctic, were picked up
at sea by the ship Cambridge, which vessel has
lately arrived at Quebec. The number of per-
sons known to have been saved, SO far, is 106.
AsYe Harper for October is before us, and
copies may be had at Bennett & Galabert's book
store. ''The Five Senses" by the funny man
of the establishment, should recommend this
number to all lovers of the grotesque. The
original and selected articles, are excellent.
BIvALvEs.-These delicious delicacies, now
open very readily to those who are disposed to
.ork out, at Franks Little Gallon Oyster Saloon,
Main street; or at Gus's, on the levee, next
door to the Casa Blanca" where also may be
had fresh Lobsters
IMMIGRATION TO EURoPE.-.The number of
immigrants who have left New York since the
first of August on their return to various parts
of Europe, is estimated at six thousand, or be-
tween ten and fifteen per cent. on the total
&afo tba
AeP DR.. J. S. F., has our thanks for beau
tiful porte monnaie A few more of the same
sort are left, and may be had at his drug store
corner of st. Louis and Market street, under
the Franklin House; where also may be had a
general assortment of drugs and chemicals,
fancy articles, ETC., ETC.
BUsINEss.-Now that our town is entirely free
from all pestilential and infectious diseases,
and that we breathe the pure air of health,
we anticipate that our merchants will have an
unusual rush of business for some time to come.
In fact, we already notice quite visible change
for the better, within the last few days. We
would inform country friends that we have new
er seen the town SO well supplied in all the de-
partments of trade, as at this time
A HEALTHY PLAcE.-The g Mirror" by the
by, an excellent paper, published at Jackson in
this State, says the health Of that town is de-
cidedly good, SO much so that there is not even
dead letter in its Post Office. We have no
objection at all, Mr.. Kblenger. of exchanging
with paper published in such healthy region,
and thank you, too, for the Mirror in which
"Minerva" was so fatteringly reflected.
INFoRMATIoN.-For the benefit of those living
at distance, who may wish to visit the city via
the Railroad, we would state that the little
steamer Mary Jane, leaves our wharf every
morning regularly, at seven o'clock, and arrives
at the railroad station ON the Lafourche, in time
to take the evening train, and arrive at New
Orleans by seven the same evening. When the
connection shall have been completed on the
main trunk, passengers will reach the city in
less than four hours after les.7ing Thibodaux.
THE NATIONAL MoS1ToR.-Such is the title
of q neat, well printed, and still better edited
weekly literary newspaper, published BY Messrs.
Harper s. Co., New York. The first, second,
and third numbers are before us. No. /. is ex-
cellene; No. 2, more excellent; No. 8, most ex-
cellent! If Maj Addison Farnsworth, the tall
ented and versatile editor, continues to go on as
he has begun, the Monitor will not stand second |
to any other literary newspaper in the country.
Its "Please x" is cheerfully accorded.
ELECTIoNs.-The recent elections in Pennsyl- |
vania, Ohio, and Indiana, have resulted in the
complete route of the Pierceites-Ohio by 50,-
boo, Pennsylvania by 10000, and Indiana by
large majority. The federal administration has
not elected even respectable minority of the
members Of Congress chosen. The Know
Nothings have carried everything before them
n the city Of Baltimore, electing their Mayor
~ = majority of nearly 5000, besides ma
ority in the city council.
LOOK HERE.-Our young friend P. A. Thib
'daux, is now prepared to undertake the manu-
acture Of Sugar by the Bi-Sulphate Of Lime
