great steamboat interest that has been promulgat-
ed for months. Unusual facilities for getting the
crop to market" :" Where are they ? unless it is
many boats bringing in from half to thrce-fourths
OF cargoes, and one railroad (the Jackson) bring
ing few bales above last year, which, with all its
resources and avaiiabties, cannot bring in over
onetenth of the allotted estimates to be received
at this point.
The talk is, that Mr. Bull, or our trans Atlantic
friends will have to take the mass of the crop of
1853 at prices ranging from l0Dllc., but desire
our Manchester friends to take second thought
and not think that cotton can be delivered to them
at 2Id nor 4d. u Ii. This is sending sand and dust
to its original elements.
There some activity on the levee and land
ings. The discharging of the many vessels that
have arrived within the past week occasions con-
siderable animation seven miles front of
ships and steamers and steamboat landings.
The further talk was of the highly satisfactory
intelligence received from the Rio Grande, brought
by the steamer Arizona. No thanks, however, to
be given credited to the gentleman who pre-
sides over the War Department at Washington.
He was cautioned in regard to the breaking up and
removal of the garrison at Brownsville. We hope
the apoogist at Washington City, the Constitution,
so called will make note Of it. The Arizona
brought round sum of specie but there is more
behind, which is under Mexican protection. The
talk is that DIR. Secretary Floyd will retrace his
action and grant little more authority to the com
mandng officer of the Texas department. The
State and authorities of Texas are bound, however,
to take the protection of the frontier into their
hands. There were many congratulations that the
citi # Rrny Ia had ba11 mt 1ppp
is over forty days since they have been in state

| There was some talk of the sugar crop. It is
hardly necessary to allude to it. haf-crop is all
that will be made. Possibly, there may be a large
| yield of molasses, which, at present prices, will
help out. We observe that there have been some
sales of New Orleans, new crop, in New York, at
80 and 80 cents per gallon. 1t will, of course go
up to 60 cents after while, all the Cuba molas-
ses will soon be in the hands of holders and specu
lators for rise.
| The mails came through yesterday with dates as
late due that is, to the 2lst inst. from New York
| We learn that the good" steamboat Gordon
heretofore running between Charleston and Savan
nah, has been purchased for the new route be
| tween Charleston and Fernandina, Fla. If the eX
pected contractors for the through mail have to re
sort to the purchase of second-cass boats at the
! incpency of this route, it bodies good for its
ultimate success. The steamer Gordon must bt
seven eight years old, and was in our port some
three or four years ago. However, possibly, sht
is strong, or stronger and more seaworthy, thai
| the ten and twelve year old boats of the Mobile
and New Orleans mail line, now running on Lake
| Pontchartran.
The next steamer from Liverpool will, probably
be the Vigo of the 9th at New York. The next o
the Cunard line will be the Africa of the 18th, fol
| New York, due on Friday next.
