We extract the following:
AtGalveston the weather has continued cold
with low tides, OBTAINING sail vessels from sea
outside the bar, and even interrupting the
Tuesdays trip Of the mail packet from Houston
by low water on Clapper's bar. Handling pro.
duce and imported goods upon the Wharves has
been difficult and tedious.
Notwithstanding these unfayorable circum.
stances, the receipts Of produce have continued
on respectable scale, and the shipments have

bales cotton, 6S hhds. sugar, 112 bbls. molasses
6S6 hides, besides lots Of ofpeltries, wool, etc.

and there remain upon the market, this morn

one instance where the planter has been cor

The present season is, without doubt, one Of t
coldest that has ever been experienced in Lot

f The present sugar crop in this section Of t
