yesterday was, in the sunshine, oppressively
warm and il was grateful relief to escape 10
the shade. We may reasonably conclude that the
season for closed doors and windows, and house.
warming apparatus, is over. This will lessen
somewhat the expense Of living, considering that
coal is eight dollars a ton and oak wood six dol

HARDSTIMEs IN TEAS" Hard times" is
the subject Of leader in the Austin Gazette,
of the 3lst ult. The Gazette says:
We are experiencing very serious crisis in
our country. The farmers, with large corps on
hand, landholders, with immense tracts Of land
in possession, and merchants, with heavy as
sortments Of goods, are all complaining Of
want of money and hardness Of times. By the
many notices Of the sheriff and the constable
at our courthouse doors, another strong evi
dence is being afforded of the embarrassments
of the citizens.
This crisis does not proceed from speculation
or over.trading, but from certain other causes,
which we shall refer to, and which may be
remedicd. In this part of Texas we have, for
instance, been expecting great accessions by
immigration, but we have ovcrestimated our at
fractions, and the farmer, land owner, and
merchant, have oil SURPRISES on hand for which
there is no demand.
The Galveston News says all the advices
from the interior go to show that the crops are
very backward, and that want of rain, together
with late frosts, has made the season thus far
most inauspicious. Light rains have fallen in
several Of the counties on the Brazos and the
Colorado.

menced, yesterday the trial of the cause of VIM.
t. Dove against ]. II. McBlair; the former suing
the latter for an alleged libel in 1852, and fixing
the damages at ten thousand dollars. The parties

the defendant.
The following named citizens compose the jury:
Francis ]. Murphy, William Miles, George Gran
DELL John Davis, Peter Hepburn, James B. Hol-
mead, Jacob Harsham, Patrick McKenna Charles
F Wood, James M. Watson, John Waters, and
James Fulalove.
Mr.. Davidge opened the case, for the complain
ant, in brief speech, stating in the of his
remarks, the nature Of the libel charged 10 have
been overwhelmingly, that Alderman Dove is
tainted with African blood-and claiming vindic-
tive damages for the injury said to have been sus-
tanned, in consequence, by his client.
The examination Of witnesses for the COM
