One OF the arrests was made in a church. of a man
who was actually preaching at the moment the officers
nabbed him. He confessed, we understand, and
lamented the effects Of his crime less on bis own

By the arrival on Wednesday night Of the steam
ship Tennessee, we have dates from Vera Cruz to
the 2lst instant
Capt. Forbes reports that the American bark Flash
arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th inst, from New
York; and that the American schooner Knudson,
and the American bark Fl. E. Shearing, sailed from
Vera Cruz on the same day for New Orleans
Vera Cruz and the other States that opposed the
new Government are still firm in the position they
have taken. They are actively engaged in raising
and organizing troops and collecting arms and NUM-
tions of war. 1t was thought in Vera Cruz that an
army of nearly one hundred thousand men, well pro.
vided with artillery etc. would soon be ready to take
the field against the usurper
The Zuloaga government issued decree on the
10th, providing that all duties from vessels arriving
at Vera Cruz and Tampico should be paid at the
capital so long those ports remain in opposition to
the new order of things. The civil and military
authorities of the ports held responsible for all
opposition to the enforcement of the decree.
Nothing appears to have occurred since the date
OF our former adyices to materially change the posi-
tions of parties.

Talk on Change.


The very fine weather yesterday brought out mul
titudes of people, and the talk general Business
all round is active. The receipts Of produce yester
day, though not large as on some occasions, ye.
were fair The general condition of our streets form
topic for remark. There is some neglect some
wheresome want of authority to compel contractors
to keep the streets in order We have only to point
to the broken pavement in front Of our office If any
one has agreed to keep Camp street in order it is
hoped he or they will not defer the repairs There
were about forty at work on Prytania street some
few days since endeavoring to patch up the cobble
stone pavement. Cannot onefourth Of the propre.
tors OF real estate on Camp and Prytania streets
muster courage, and have the pavement on those
streets replaced by durable stone blockl We have
called the attention of propetors and talked enough
TO make US hoarse on the subject. Bot some owners
oil real estate point to their vacant stores and remark
what is the use? We can only reply, reduce rents,
keep the pavement in passable order, and Camp
street will hold its former value. IF no attention is
paid to the general condition Of the street. it will be
deserted in two or three years. Canal street will be
the great center Of business Surely and steadily is
business going from the Mississippi. Among the i'm.
provements going on, or the tearing down of anti
quated buildings, we notice that the Oldest three
storyed building on Canal street is coming down. We
aiude to the building next to the corner of Magazine
street, which was erected in the year 1920 Is2l-
nearly thirty years ago-by our old and venerable
citizen, w. W. Montgomery. One part of it was oc.
cupied for some years by Field & Morgan Matthew
Morgan, now OF New York, and who has large in
terest still in real estate in our city The building in
question has been called an old fogy building but it
requires some extraordinary labor, however to re-
move it. Possibly the owner may be termed an old
fogy; if so, we wish we had more like him for an
example, or to control Young America. Then, again,
we notice that the building erected by Rogers Slo
cunb & Co.. in 1927, adjoining the above, has been
already removed and the foundations laid for stores,
which, we learn will be equal to any on the great
Boulevard, Canal. There are many improvements
contemplated on Canal street, and if it could be
opened all the way to the lake. it would be produc
tive of the highest advantages 1t is reasonable to
conclude that the city must hereafter progress and
extend towards the lake, well as towards Carroll
on the upper side and the plains of Chalmette on
the lower In the meantime the talk is what is to be
done with Camp street
| We cannot answer the question. Our friend Hyn-
son has, however, got four pound cannonade before
his door, 1t looks as though there was some resist
ance intended to the impost of fifty per cent accord

A CANADIAN KING.-The Sandwich &c. wy Mer

independent kingdom, with permanent ruler The
most eligible person to found a Canadian dynasty
