HARpER's WEEKLY.-Mr. Norman, of No. IA Camp
street. has sent It's copy of the first issue Of Har
per's Weekiy-a Journal of Civlzation.' 1t is in
that most convenient of all newspaper shapes-six-
teen pages of four columns each--and bears alike
in It's typographical beauty and its literary
ceence the stamp of the great publishing house
whence it enlanates-that of Harper & Brothers.
New York. The matter is original throughout the
editorials being able, the miscellaneous department
spicy and interesting and the stories, from cultivated
ntelIects, without that odious line at the bottom,
"To be continued" This latter feature recommends
the paper strongly to transient readers. Whether it
will be continued or not we cannot say
There are also several fine engravings in the num-
Der before US. We are glad to know that among the
regular contributors secured by the Messrs Harper
for their new enterprise, is young Southern gentle
man of rare intellectual culture and literary at
tainneut-Mr. w. W. Wright, who was born and
raised in New Orleans who has Travelled all round
the world and who has recently, under the
modest n0.lnle de plume of " Stroller in Europe,
given to the world book of European travel
and gossip entitled Dore' This book we have
read with the greatest enjoyment for whilst it
discovers throughout all the freshness and enthusiasm
OF the authors youth, it diSCloSes those faculties Of
keen perception, comparison and analysis, which
mark the golden intellect approaching to ripeness
We never read any description OF the French and
German people and their manners and customs, hall
so vivid and entertaining the comparisons between
things American and European, and the criticisms
| upon both, are marked with sound sense and genial
| huuor which must charm every reader and the
only thing else that we can now say of Dore is
that eyery body should buy it and read it.
'There is no such word as fail" with the Harper
Brothers. and we doubt not that in few months Tx
circulation Of their Weekly Journal OF Civilization
will rival that Of any Of the other literary weclics
1t should be remembered that Harpcrs Weekly a1
Harpcr's Magazine have no further connection thai
that of being printed in the same establishment
Each has its own exclusive literary corps, aud II
portion of the contents of either appears in til

THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1857.


1t was stirring day yesterday in all circles Cot
ton was not 80 active in sales on some days
previous yet, there were great movements in weigh
ing and delivering the sales which have attracted 50
much notice for week past. We find since the re-
ceipt of the Niagaras advices Thursday morning,
up to last night the sales reached hundred thou
sand bales.
The cotton presses are all in full activity, and the
warehouses are crowded to repleton. Although there
are large number of vessels loading the stock of
cotton is accumulating. Several thousand bales
held for lower rates of freight, and many more pur
chased and held for an advance The great difficulty
in negotiating exchange will check operations for a
few days. until the market is somewhat relieved Of
the heavy offerings. In the meantime there is an in
cination evinced the part of buyers to hold back
for few days for later advces from Liverpool 1t is
the received opinion that there is very moderate
supply Of cotton at this moment, unless it is that in
second hands, many Of whom will undoubtedly sell at
fair profit rather than submit to still lower rates Of
exchange.
The weather yesterday was decidedly Of Lapland
temperature, with northeast wind which will in
the arrivals of vessels for two or three days
Business on the ship and steamboat landings is very
lively but complaints are made of great depression
in real estate. That may owing to the large extent
of ground our city covers. There are seven miles
front the river, and if include Jefferson City,
Huntsville, Rickerville Greenvie and Carrolton it
can be called twelve miles It would be satisfactory
to have correct census of city and its environs
at least once in five years. 1t is pleasing for US to
know that tits steadily on the increase though swamp
lots do not command premium, and our real estate
propretors very stubborn in their views regarding
improvements perhaps a ." chateau" in France is
uppermost in their considerations. In the meantime
are glad to perceive that the building the north
east corner Of Poydras and Camp Streets fronting
Poydras, which has for long period of time been a
real eye-sore is underdoing repair, and will undoub
edly improve the looks of the street.
The vacant lot on the southwest corner is also q
drawback to both Camp and Poydras streets, ant
almost as Objectionable as the McDonogh estate. VIZ
trust the propretors in New York, will either donate
it away with the coproprietors, the heirs of Nor
gan, come to some early conclusion and improve it

RESERVED LANDS IN KANsAs.-H appears from
communication transmitted to the Senate by the Sec
retary of the Interior in reply to resolution of in

the entire reservation in Kansas heretofore set apart
for the New York Indians, maintained and guarded
against the encroaehmens Of white settlers until it
shall be determined either by legislation or treaty,
what rights any therein remain to such Indians as
have not removed west of the Mississippi, having an
unlimited right to remain in New York, and in what
manner the interests ofthose who emgrated shall be
secured or definitely settled.
