NEW York, Nov. 12-The North German Lloyd's
steamship Bremen Capt. Vessels, from Bremen,
via Southampton end Havre, reached her wharf
this morning.
She left Southampton on the evening of the 31st
ult and brings adVices three days later than those
by the Persia.
The Royal mail steamship Canada, from Boston
and Halifax, had arrived at Queenstown.
The steamship North Briton, from Quebec, ran
ashore at Bay Castle, on the coast of Ireland, but
got off by throwing over grain and other mer
chardise.
Commercial Intelligence.
LIVERPOOL, Oct B.--The sales of Cotton in Liver
pool on Monday and Tuesday amounted to $4,000
bales.
The adyices from the United States by the last
steamer caused an advance Of s@4d. There was
large speculative inquiry, and the market closed
with an advancing tendency.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 81 -Breadstuffs market is quiet.
Flour declining. Corn active at 39s. for Yellow
and Mixed; Whtescarce at 4e@47s.

European Political Intelligence
The complicated state of affairs in Italy still con-
tinues to be the allabsorbing topic in political
circles.
Garibaldi, at the latest advices, still continued
his march to the Roman frontier. The Neapolitan
royalsts had again been defeated by Gsribaldi.
The voting in Naples for the annexation to Pied
mont was almost unanimous.

The following are the receipts since Saturday
up to 6 O'Clock last evening:

Notwithstanding the great Magnolia brings in
nearly 5000 bales, it is diminished load, and the
other boats all bring diminished loads for this sea
son Of the year; nevertheless, the receipts are
double for the corresponding days last year. The
Vieksburg packet Charmer brought in on the COR
responding day last year 3T43, and the steamboat
Magnolia, from Vicksburg, $3.50 bales. So those
close calcuators on the flags who are watching
from hour to hour the arrivals and receipts of cot
lonesome for one purpose and some for another
can compare figures. Possibly it would be an ad-
vantage to talk and argue with some of the new
candidates on the flags who are desrous of
formal introduction to our factors-the fedglings,
the intended new agents of Manchester spinners
who are about making their first bow to our fact
ors. They have been arriving very freely by the
last steamers but few of them have appeared on
our flags. They are, however, coming; they are
merely stopping along on the way to learn some
thing of the frost injury. But regret to have to
repeat the talk, that on their arrival in our good
city their letters of credit their great margins will
not pass current with factors at this juncture.
They will have to go through probation of one
season, perhaps two, before they will be able to
make things work.
1t is with some degree of sorrow that we have to
announce only one quotation of eonsols by the
three last steamers. 1t is impossible to realize or
talk OF the profound contempt the cotton factors tf
New Orleans have of the value of British consols.
We have much more interest in our city consols
than British consols. Our city consols are not
tumbled about on the several markets of the world
and are worth ao@9l. They can well be compared
with British consols.
There was great liveliness and brskness in the
foreign freight market on Saturday. Several ves-
sells were taken up for Europe on an average of
I'd. for cotton to Liverpool There is however, a
good quantity of tunnage in port, with more on
the way. There has been no Improvement in
grain or other rates beyond cotton, consequently
we can urge Western traders to send their produce
forward with dispatch. 1t can be sold and paid
for in good solid money, free of all the and
extortionate charges which prevails in Northern
cities.
There was something of half-andhalf mail re-
ceived yesterday. Part of the Europa's mails
came through on Sunday-the other or remaining
part may come to-day, tomorrow or the day after.

pearance some two or three years ago, and was

If the man that accounted for the milk in the coca
nat, will tell us something about it. There is also
an average crop of acorns and hickory nut.
The Columbia Democrat says:
Cotton is now being hauled in at rapid rate.
We are told that the top crop is still opening and
furnishing very good picking It has turned out
better than was expected.
The first sample Of new sugar we have seen was
sent US from the plantation Of Col. Campbell, who
commenced grinding last week. This is very fair
article. Although there will not be any thing like
an average crop of sugar made in the county, yet
we believe it will far exceed what was expected q
few months ago.
Two dead bodies were recently found in the
Salado, near the point where the road crosses,
leading from San Antonio to Austin. They were
ascertained to be the bodies of two men who had
been arrested for stealing horses in Arkansas, and
lodged in Jail at San Antonio. They had been
surrendered upon requisition from Arkansas, and
left San Antonio in charge of an officer who had
been sent for them.

A large public meeting was held in Galveston
for the purpose of taking into consideration the
present political crisis. Speeches were made by
ex. Governor Lubbock, Col. McKeen and Judge
Thompson, and committee was appointed to re-
port what course of action would be desirable to
recommend to the people of Galveston. The
committee made the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
Your committee, in view Of the present perous
crisis i'll our country, believe it incumbent on the
people throughout the Southern States, without
respect to parties, to make prompt and efficient
preparations for selfdefense against the principles
of the Black Republican party, under which our
Government is about to be administered and to
which the South will never submit.
We therefore recommend the organization of
one or more companies of Minute Men in this city,
and that the following gentlemen shall be q COM
mittee to take the necessary measures to effect
such organization
A. G. .McKeen Hugh Mcleod, John Muller, G. l..
McCarty, C. E. Thompson, FL. Van Buren,, Joseph
Love, John Austin, f. Berhman.
Your committee further recommend that gem
eral mass meeting of our citizens be called, ire
speetive Of party, to be held at the market-house
on Wednesday evening next, for the purpose OF
consulting on what measures may be proper and
necessary in this emergency.

purpose Of seeing the progress that has been made
upon the bridge. 1t is finished, with the track laid
upon it, to the first pier, lao feet. The workmen
are now engaged in raising temporary poles, re-

are forty effective hands at work on the bridge
and we have been assured that it will be finished III
ahoBt six weeks. From all the evidences pre-.
sented to u.s. it will be remarkably strong struc-
ture.
The Gonzales Inquirer says:
On Thursday morning, the 1st inst we had the
first frost Of the season. Though heavy it was moi
severe enough to kill tender vegetation.
Large droves of cattle continue TO pass through
our streets almost daily. It has been estimated
that between twenty and thirty thousand head have
crossed the ford at this pace within the last six
weeks. The larger portion Of them are from the
counties north of us, and going west in search
OF winter range. Some five or six thousand head
have been taken out Of this county.
