EUROPEAN STEAMSHIP CONNECTION WITH THE
Soura=Erom recent New York letter to the Phi!a:


SoUTH-From recent New York letter to the Phila.
delphia North American extract the following
Hon. W. B. Preston, of Virginia, Secretary of the
Navy under Gen. Taylor, has just returned home to
make preparations for visit to Europe after having
spent several days here in conference, concerning
plan for establishing direct line of steamers with
England, confined to the district of country lying
upon the Chesapeake bay and the waters emptying
into it, All the railroad companies and the boards
of public works in Virginia have united in the move
ment, and some of the large corporations in Ken
lucky and Tennessee have also responded with be-
coming spirit to the invitation which was originally
issued.
The parties already enlisted represent chartered
capital of fifty millions of dollars, and they expect
to bring in the influence of other roads to swell that
aggregate still more imposnsly. Mr., Preston intends
before embarking to lay his plans before the princ
pal railroad companies in Philadelphia, either with
the view of concentrating their influence or OF SC
shaping the scheme that our people may be able tc
unite in any demonstration before Congress Tor the
share of consideration of which they have heretofore
! been unjusty denied.

RED RIVER RAFT.-In regard to the improvement
Of the channel around Red River raft recent num-
Der of the Caddo Gazette has the following nforma.
ton obtained from Col Fuller, the Government Engi-
neer:
The 100000 appropriated by Congress for this
work is now so nearly exhausted that but limited
force be kept employed, and these mostly
engaged in cutting out stumps and removing the raft
which has been formed during the present season.
Much work will yet be required to make the new
channel navigable for steamboats,, and another appro
pration by Congress of at least 100000. We un-
| dersand from Col. Fuller that one season of high
water will completely close the present channel OF
navigation unless means provided by Congress TO

The Water Power Company are now engaged in

MAYOR WooD AND THE New YORK POLICE
LAw.-The Express of the 7th inst. says:
The anticipation that the Mayor would advise the
Council to give up the Station House, ETC., was
disappointed. He did send a message however,
rather excitable in style, calling the act outrageous
and tyranncal, and concluding that the only redress
is to appeal to the people of the Stale at large IN
order to obtain redress of grievances. He SPEAKS
of the city wealth as having excited the avarice Its
numbers the partisan desires, and its ant,aboiitlon
procyities the hatred of the ruling dynasty at
Albany. He declares that we are now reduced to
pitiful vassalage, dependent upon foreign power,
who appear to govern but to plunder and desplse,
aad insists that the State regime, which he says
is naugurated in of rapine, riot and boodshed
is apparently without capacity or will to keep the
peace. He therefore recommends the Common Coun-
ell to address their brethren of the interior to 1--WE
auote) aid in this our hour OF deepest need and
restore to the city its right of selgovernment ETC.
One of the members of the Council moved that the
message be returned to the Mayor disrespectful
but the chairman refused to entertain the motion and

We have had two very delightful showers since our

other on Thursday morning about 2 o'clock, A. NJ.
We are still, however, in want of rain in many
parts of the parish, but suffering materially
as yet and many have had suffeiency for all pur-
poses. Corn is doing finely and is likely to turn out

friends in this city:
It affords us much pleasure to state that B. r.
